    I'm also a Japanese man in his 60s who loves BAND-MAID and love bites.
    Last year, I participated in 4 live performances for BM and 3 live performances for LB. It was a very good year
    I am very happy that the two of you love these two bands from the screen.

    Akane, by far, is my absolute favorite drummer in the world. She is amazingly talented, always keeps the beat, and is ALWAYS SMILING. You can't help be drawn to someone like that. She is also so kind, friendly, supportive, that she has many, many, many friends in and out of the business.

    Kanami is justifiably proud of Miku's progress, but in this case, she's teasing her because Miku messed up the lyrics (which she wrote) at a previous gig. It's always fun to watch your reactions!

      Interestingly, the band as a whole rarely makes mistakes, but when asked who is most likely to make one, they said Saiki or Kanami.
      Which makes sense, being the lead vocalist and lead guitarist.
      Akane and Miku rarely make mistakes, but everyone will mess up at some point.
      Except MISA. MISA does not make mistakes. (According to Miku)

      Actually, I did a deep dive on this story. What I found out was.... This MV was shot on the second night of back-to-back shows, 13th and 14th February 2020. On night 1 they didn't play "Freedom" which I thought was a big surprise since it's their most played song live. So, I think the reason Kanami was watching Miku was that this part of "Freedom" was the 1st time Miku had a vocal solo part on night 2, as the first 5 songs of the night were all Saiki. I wasn't there, but from what I found Miku flubbed some lyrics for "Choose Me". When I posted these findings November 3rd, 2024 in the FB group, Band Maid Fan's Cafe, one person said that they heard that the flub happened in practice before the show. As I looked at the set list for the 1st night, I found that they played the entire "Conqueror" album in order. There were a few breaks where other songs were stuck in, like "Don't Be Long" and "Onset" back-to-back. A few live song debuts with Miku on acoustic and the show closing with "Blooming" and "Rinne". I said that I wished they would have done like Babymetal does by recording and packaging both nights together, both nights had superb set-lists. If anybody has info on this subject, please leave a comment. 😄🤘

    The Maids generally like to troll each other on stage. Anytime you see Maids moving near each other that is what is happening. I believe they call it pulling faces as they try to get each other to break. Akane is usually a top target because she can't go anywhere, and she is an instigator in other settings. I can say this is my favorite band, and an addiction I have no plans on quitting. Over 100 songs and none disappoint.

    Jimmy is right, this is rock'n'roll at its finest. And seeing the Maids for a few minutes without their stage personas alone makes this performance special. I mean, we see everyone without exception - including Misa! - with a big smile, a great drum solo by Akane, plus a solo from Kanami in which she shows off a little for a change (quite rightly so!).... What more could you want? :) 🤘🏻

    This video was my introduction to Band Maid, four years ago. I was ABSOLUTELY STUNNED ! They can't really be playing or singing this ? They must be studio musicians ? They probably don't even know each other ? My mind was looking for excuses to explain away what I was seeing ! It was hopeless...I was hooked. By the time I saw DICE...My mind was blown !!🤯❤️

    Notice that whenever MINCHO is playing next to someone else-KOBATO, MISA, or Danni of The Warning-she always physically lowers herself into a crouch beneath her counterpart in a literal expression of humility. If you ever find yourself felling too big for your britches, you would do well to keep the humble muse KANAMI in mind.

They were having such a ( Joll) South African for a blast. Trying to make each other laugh. Love these girls. Talking about Akane the smiling drummer❤, you do know that Jimmy Page recons she's the young incarnation of John Bonam😊

    I'm surprised that Big Pharma haven't tried to suppress this performance, it's what I use as an anti-depressant every morning. 'Proud' Kanami is actually trolling Miku, who had messed up the lyrics in a previous okyuji so Kanami is supervising her. We also get to see Misa and Saiki playing Hengao with Akane and totally failing to put her off, as usual. I suspect Akane's click-track actually listens to her.

    As I might have mentioned before, I spent some of lockdown adding English subtitles to some of Band-Maid's mv's. For my translation of Miku's part (and it may well be only about 75% correct coz I'm not a native speaker) I have it as "Jealousy and Prejudice, distorted emotions...No choice but to lie. 1,2,3,4...It's all oblivious, laugh and being laughed at...Lie, lie, lie". There's probably a silent 'po' in there somewhere too!

    When Kanami knelt during Miku's phrase she was trolling her. By kneeling she blocked Miku's stage monitor because Miku had messed the lyrics (in itself funny, since Miku is the main lyricist) a show or two prior.
    And Akane murdering her kit while smiling from ear to ear is just awesome.

    I've been following rock since the late 1950's and have seen a LOT of drummers come and go, but Akane Hirose is something special, even in Japan where you so many excellent drummers like Kanade Sato(KOIAI), Senri Kawaguchi(The Jazz Avengers), Mi Mi (Tokyo Groove Jyoshi), Rina(SCANDAL), Haruna(Lovebites), Junna(One OK Rock) and a host of others. But Akane is a cut above in my opinion, especially with her creativity. And this drum solo is the best I've heard in 40+ years. The way she weaved the drum patterns into the composition was magical, and her fills on a regular basis are works of art.
    I've gone back and watched videos of legends like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, and Akane ranks very close to them in creativity. And this is not to knock any of the other drummers playing today. And there's another young drummer who looks like she heading on the same trajectory. Her name is Yoyoka Samo, just turned 15 this past October, and is just amazing. She's from Japan but lives in the US now to go to school. The earliest video of her drumming is at age 3 and being able to keep a beat. She had her own UA-cam channel at 5 and has done some amazing drum covers over the years and has gained the praise of Ian Paice, Dave Grohl, Chad Smith and Jimmy Page, among others. If you want to see something cool, check out "Yoyoka's 12th Birthday Sessions" on YT, where she plays with some the best session musicians and singers from Japan. One of the songs that they kill is Joe Satriani's "Satch Boogie", with Yoyoka, wunderkind guitarist Li-sa-X and bassist Houichi Terasawa. She regularly plays gigs in the clubs in LA now.

    That interaction between Miku and Kanami stems from Miku flubbing her solo vocal part on a previous okyuji. That has now evolved into standard procedure for Kanami and Misa to switch sides of the stage during this song so that Kanami can stare down Miku or give her the side eye. Fun stuff!
    Keep those Band-Maid Mondays coming. I have been taking my tablet to my local coffee shop for it and very much enjoyed your reactions to the documentaries.

  • @leekebot1802
    @leekebot1802 4 дні тому +18

    So... Nope! Kanami wasn't sitting there being proud of her student. Miku sings that part with her hands off the guitar. The reason why Kanami is sitting there looking up at Miku, is because she is sitting in front of the monitor that has the lyrics of the song. Miku had forgotten the lyrics for this song during a show previously, and Kanami was teasing her in this one, making sure she studied up, and remembered her part this time. That's why if you watch Miku when she starts singing, she's glancing over at her, and then if you listen for it, there is a bit of a laugh in her singing towards the end of her part. She also is surprised when Kanami walks up to her in the first place, because I don't think it was planned.
    If I got anything wrong, someone will come in an correct me, but that should be the gist. lol
    And Akane pulling that face at Saiki just before her solo, is so fun. Nothing can make her miss. Her going full Animal from Sesame Street, is just the best.

    • @_DriveTime

      I've never seen a lyric video monitor at a 90-degree angle to where the singer is facing, so I don't believe that part even a little bit because it makes no sense. I know it gets constantly repeated in comments though, but so does a lot of inaccurate info. There are many fan cams of Kanami interacting and even sitting during this part. I think she simply sits when there's a convenient place to sit. They pretty clearly make a conscious effort to interact during this song.

Not to worry, you're just iconoclastic - breaking the mould! (I've pulled out some of my big, Uni words tonight - feeling funky). Great reaction, to a classic performance of one of Band-Maid's earliest and all-time standards. Love and peace and good rocking (and a great 2025) to you both!! 🤘🤘💕💕

    Hello, thanks to your love, I remembered my name, everyone lives with one eye, turning the world upside down, dividing it into two, people are the same, twisting from the neck up, making a cross with the chest, facing back, visible It's the way I've walked, the way to say goodbye, X is 10, it's about the door, if you don't get the three together, you can't enter correctly, the world that sways in the middle of your heart, build a palace and put love in it, always feel love, and when talking to your wife, directly No, love and the two of us make a triangle, always talk through love, the head, use it as a seed of wish, return it to the sky, breathing is the same, first, exhale, when it becomes painful, hold your breath, put love in front of you, and inhale it to your stomach, Everyone's order is different, both eyes are aligned, 5 vertical doors in the middle of the body open, the middle is the love of the chest, that is the entrance to the next world, the door of the world is already open, the moon you can see is an illusion! Even if we go to the moon, there is no door, we are trapped and protected, we can't shine on our own! Everything in this world is only shining with light, love is vibration, it is finally obtained for that, it is a swaying heart, I can't see the moon anymore, my eyes are not burned by the sun, red in the left eye, blue in the right eye, purple in the same way, light Receiving, vibrating and shining with the energy of that love, everyone sacrifices themselves and continues to send love to us humans, we are their hope, so nature, the stars, and all living things are willing to give love, everyone is hurt It's over! But it's time to remember my name, the world is full of love, we share each other's exhausted love, they give everything, I want to give everything too, I cry with joy every day, I'm a 53-year-old uncle, you In response to the love of women, we revealed the secret, X is the cross, if the three are not matched, the door will not open, 1.2.3 and 4 (as a result, the world of the heart, the world of the gap). Religion, spirituality, and yoga are all correct, but if you don't put in love, you can't go anywhere! If you open the door alone, you will be trapped by illusions! The door to the world has already been opened, it's a happy ending, no one can stop it anymore, everyone, please hurry up! Well, have a good trip! Thank you for spreading love, teaching love, and giving love!

      Hello, thank you for introducing me to Japanese songs! With your love, I and the world were healed! This is an invitation to love to love, we receive love and are shining, we are shadows, only the head, the back is facing, crossing at the chest part! You don't have to look back and do your best anymore! The 5 worlds were healed! Put love in the middle of the X on your chest in the door, please! Love enters from the bottom, vibrates with the heart, puts that love into words, listens to it with your ears, turns it into the seed of the next love wish with your head, and returns it to the world, everyone is in a different order! If you don't exhale all your breath, you can't breathe in a lot, let's change all love with our breath! What you see is a shadow, spit it out and suffer, suffer, hold your breath, and dedicate all your great, vibrating love there! If you do that, both eyes will open and the door of X will open! This is the cross, the heart, the body, the soul, the three together, and put love in the middle! Everything is love first, the long-awaited theory of love, the theory of the sound of love, from the world of love alone to the world of logic, everyone turned upside down and completed it! The door to a new world has been opened! This is the achievement of us, all of us, the whole earth, the whole universe, and all the world, we are hope, we are the brave suffering of the front line, suffering is everyone's wish, sacrifice is joy, please listen to everyone's joy! Now, it's the finale, let's praise all the past and the future! The time has come to stand alone! You can resonate and shine by yourself! It's no longer in the shadows! It's a world where you don't have to be sacrificed even if you don't have to win each other! You can shine yourself and continue to dedicate your love! The wishes of the whole world will come true! No one is wrong! There is nothing useless! It's just that everyone's view is different! We only know part of it, so it's free and infinite, it connects both ends with X, it's ♾, this is 8 in love, 8 is YA- in Japanese! Now, everyone, let's fix the twist and look forward! The world is full of love and kindness! Please notice the love in your heart! I'm so happy every day that I can't stop crying because I want to offer it as soon as possible!
