- Professional musician first time hearing and reaction to Daydreaming Official Music Video (MV) by Band Maid! I'm not a fan of ballads, but to be fair they put a pretty cool spin on the format, and one final thing only really clicked for me at the very end... which I'll analyse way more in the next video!

The "a song makes you feel a thought" quote is perfect here, I'm glad you got the message even if you didn't enjoyed as much as their other songs.
This solo provokes in me the most intense reaction I have to any piece of music. There's no real build-up to it, it's just a sudden explosion of the feelings that had been bottled up until that point, where wistfulness becomes anguish, regret turns to desperation, an uncontrollable sobbing with so much passion behind it that it makes me cry every time I hear it.
That's really cool, great take on the solo!

The solo made one well known BM reactor famously shed a tear. :) For me this is one of the best written and executed songs I can remember. Needs a huge audience and a mirror ball.
It took me a while to really get this song, and if i'm alone, just with my headphones, just listening to music and nothing else. This song just makes me tear up, usually during the guitar solo with how... desperate? forlorn it felt? frustration too. I have no idea. But tears start falling for me man. Love your reaction! can't wait for the analysis video!
Yeah that solo gets me every time, even now I know it's coming.
Cheers dude, should be up next week!
The same here. When I listen to this song alone and without distraction, it quite often ends up with moist eyes. The whole package of melody, vocals and Kanami's emotional outburst in the form of her solo always get me again.

Team Crybaby checking in! All joking aside, that solo is out of this world. I never really knew how to express the way it hits me so hard. The emotions just jump right out of it and smacks me right in the face. The first guitar solo that has ever done that to me. The song itself is great but, that solo is the best. I love it and I don't care if it makes me cry.
@@phaeron Yeah I know where you are coming from with Alone. The cadence of the lyrics/singing is just magical. The song that tears me up every time though is Gion-cho. It's so melancholy I have cried over it more than a few times.
You make a good point that, as musicians, there's a danger we "listen with our heads" too much. Ever since I decided to first listen with my heart, music's been having a greater impact on me. This song is a great example of one that hits different when I don't try to pick it apart.
For sure, it can be tricky to switch off at times, probably why I go through spells of listening to ambient and electronic stuff, can't analyse the guitar if there's no guitar there!
Someone mentioned that Mincho was found by GPS at the end of the song in the bush :)
Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- an unbelievable range of mid-tempo songs from the greatest hard rock band on the planet - Band-Maid. "Daydreaming," "YOLO," "Puzzle,” and a host of others are world-class masterpieces. Although I love Daydreaming just the way it is and believe it may be Band-Maid's best composed and overall accessible song, I've always wonder if it was sung in English, how deep in the international market Daydreaming would have traveled...? Oh well, I'll stop daydreaming now. Thx Jack, for another great Band-Maid reaction!
My pleasure Tom!
I really like Band-Maid and I consider myself a fan of them, I bought enough of their stuff to do so, but I am personally not a huge fan of most of these songs and almost all of them are bottom 25 to 30% for me. The only exceptions are about Us and Wonderland, which I both really like and are close to the top of favourite Band-Maid songs, I still don't know what makes them different for me. I can enjoy Start over every once in a while if I'm in the mood even though it is not really my thing. Some of them are really low on that list though, PAGE and At the drop of a hat especially followed closely by Smile and Daydreaming.
I also don't consider these mid-tempo, but more on the slow side, but that might just be my perspective since I have listened to a lot of fast music the last 20 years (with the exception of doom metal and funeral doom, compared to that this is fast tempo).
The main problem for me personally with those songs is just them being ballads (that's a me thing for sure). I am usually not a fan of "sweet" melodies as they make me feel uncomfortable (for the lack of a better word) and I usually have the urge to stop listening to the song when I do. Listening to Japanese music since last year made me more comfortable with more poppy choruses (still not my favourite), but the "sweet" ballady songs are still extremely boring to me for some reason (I would certainly describe Daydreaming as boring myself). I also don't find half of the solo in Daydreaming all that special, it might be my brain being screwy or something but I don't feel a lot of emotion in this one like most people do (but I have noticed over my years on this earth that my brain sometimes works differently compared to a lot of people).
That being said, I know this is a fan favourite and I can completely understand why if you enjoy or appreciate the style they are going for, they absolutely nail what they are trying to do. It's by no means a badly made song, it just not for me. I will keep trying though by listening to reactions to this song and I usually don't skip it, but it is for sure one of the toughest for me to get through from all the ones you have mentioned.
Also, the Acoustic versions of the ballady songs (the ones they did in December) worked way better for me for some reason. The exception is probably Smile since that one was basically the same and I prefer the original of Manners but that's probably my number 1 Band-Maid song so that is probably why. I actually liked most of the acoustic versions of the others. I am still not really sure why my brain perceives them differently in that form.
As far as them signing in English goes. I might be completely wrong in this as I am by no means an average listener, I haven't listened to the radio since I started listening to metal over 20 years ago, but I honestly think the main thing that turns a lot of western audiences off is their outfits and name. Probably more than the language barrier, although I personally usually don't care too much about lyrics in music, so that might be bias on my part. I know a lot of people almost exclusively listen to lyrics/vocals and I listen more to vocal melodies (or textures/rhythm for music with harsh vocals) than anything else. But Western people tend to have weird misconceptions about specific things and maid outfits are certainly one of them.
@@MaartenT Being into Metal, I'm surprised you don't care for Band-Maid's heavier songs, you know, No God, Black Hole, Rinne, Moratorium, Puzzle, etc. Besides B-M, two of my favorite groups are Jinjer and The Warning (mostly for their incredible writing at such young ages.) I looked over some of your selections you follow on your YT channel and discovered you like people like Jarzombek and others. But it still surprises me you like a couple of B-M's slower pieces and not their harder more progressive bangers. Anyway, thanks Maarten, for your insightful comment!
PS - If people realized the reason why they wear their Maid outfits and their belief in sexual equality, etc., I think they'd put their erroneous just-trying-to-be-sexy-French-maids-to-draw-attention ideas aside.
@@TomClark-Futoura
I have listened and still listen to a lot of different genres, but Metal and it's subgenres has been my main thing the last 20 or so years. I didn't listen to a lot of rock during that time, I did discover Ozric Tentacles and some similar bands during that time, but that's about it. I am actually happy that giving Band-Maid a chance put me onto some other type of music and I threw myself off the deep end when I started to enjoy Band-Maid (like I tend to do when I discover new genres). I absolutely love getting into new styles of music.
I might have miscommunicated what I like from Band-Maid (wouldn't surprise me not being an English native speaker) as I am certainly into their heavier songs. All the ones you mentioned are high up on my favourites list although my favourite by them isn't super heavy (Manners). My favourite album of them is Unseen World followed by World Domination. Saiki's vocals and their skillful playing is what won me over almost instantly after checking them out. I am still not huge on some of the poppy choruses, but it is what it is.
The more poppy side of a lot of the female Japanese bands (usually the choruses) is still what I like the least about most of the bands I have listened to. But I have gotten better with that and I do enjoy Gacharic Spin quite a bit nowadays and they are basically power-pop, especially in their early career and they have processed vocals sometimes which I absolutely tend to hate.
I am also not a huge fan of the more power metal vocals some bands tend to have even though I am getting more used to those as well by literally buying CD's and DVD's/Bu-rays to try and get used to them. Power Metal is one of the Metal genres I tend to not like too much because of the "epic" melodies and the vocal style. Vocal timbre does a lot for me and I absolutely love Saiki's vocals, they are not as super high as some vocalists vocals are and I prefer it that way for this style of music.
And yes, the maid outfit thing is a silly thing to care about but it was probably one of the reasons why I didn't give them a chance at first. I had listened to some Babymetal before which I don't like as much (nothing against them though, I recently bought a couple of blu-ray's to see if I can remedy that) and assumed that Band-Maid would be similarly poppy/J-pop choruses mixed with guitar music, so I never wanted to give them a shot.
The outfits is something I thought was stupid (even though it didn't stop me from listening to them) until I realized that most of the black metal musicians I listen to have ridiculous outfits as well and I couldn't care less about that. I still think a lot of people in the West look at those outfits and see a band that playback their stuff on stage and can't play their instruments. They compare them to pop musicians they know from the West or to pure Japanese Idols (at least from what they know about them). I also think some Japanese female bands tend to focus a bit too much on the fact they are female instead of focusing on their excellent musicianship. But some of it is probably also a cultural gap, which will be difficult to overcome. That being said, K-pop certainly seem to have conquered the West somewhat, so who knows.
Edit: Also sorry for you having to go through my idiotic long list of subscriptions. The youtube app on consoles apparently isn't even made for +999 subs and the numbers go out of the circle. I should really clean that out.
@@MaartenT Thx, Maarten. BTW - Your English is great so, don't worry about that. Here's a thing I've written before about the Maid outfits (I think you know all this): I wish new, worldwide fans knew this early on with their investigation about B-M. But as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids.
Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working. Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!
This is a song that doesn't need analyzed, you either feel it or you don't.
Yep, think you're more or less on the money with that!
Thanks Jack for reacting to an actual ballad. I loved your anti ballad warning. This song is very popular among BM fans. Your job as a reactor is to analyze but this song is more about conveying an emotion of longing than technical wizardry. Kanami's first few seconds of the solo (along with the intro slide) convey this emotional release that had been building before transitioning back into longing. Honestly the best way to listen to this song is in a dark room with eyes closed and allow oneself to be immersed in the emotion of it with analytical brain turned off.
Looking forward to part 2!
Lmao, gotta have an anti ballad warning!
Sure thing, that's more or less how I've tackled the analytic video, trying to explain how; to me; they've capture that vibe
I agree with you entirely on Musicals, the worst form of 'musical' expression. I love BM's slow and mid tempo songs as much as the rockers, heavy and prog stuff, it's the variety in their music which elevated them to one of my favourite bands of all time - the big 6 now being The Beatles, Pink floyd, Led Zeppellin, Cream, Free and Band Maid the only bands that I have the complete catalogue in my record collection.
High praise indeed being with the likes of those bands, nice!
This is Kanami masterpiece.
Lot's of sneaky cool parts!
She has so many masterpieces, this is definitely one of them.
In my top-3 from Band-Maid!
That's beautiful dude, so awesome to find that depth of meaning in music, love it!
My guitar teacher, thank you for reaction to this song. But whether you like or hate ballads, this song is a Band-Maid masterpiece! And Kanami's solo is representative of this song. I look forward to your analysis. Peace✌️
Cheers mate! Should be up next week!
MISA MISA MISA!
Excellent!. The best anti-ballad analysis of a ballad. I liked the reference about Mike Eizinger. It is not the first time that I hear some cross reference between Incubus and Band Maid by a musician. What I like most about Daydreaming is that ability to use music to convey emotions and tell us this story of longing (in four minutes, no need to put on a musical about it!). Five Japanese girls perfectly explaining themselves to the rest of the world without the need for words. And that solo... has always reminded me of that great song title "While HER guitar gently weeps". Thanks Jack! I've had a good time.
Cheers Juan, much appreciated bud!
hey man, I know you can look them up yourself, but thought I would drop the lyrics here for ease of read. The instrumentationa nd lyrics meld together so well with this song:
Daydreaming, don’t wake me up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
As we swayed under the moonlight
Our shadows blended together
Clumsiness intertwined
I hope tonight does not end
This may be wrong
Though I thought it was over
I still want to believe
I feel more alive in this moment
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
So, I'm daydreaming, don’t wake me up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight
Don’t go
I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear
We cannot go back, so don’t go
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
Feeling the distance of this breath
Somehow I love you so much
Our shadows start to move
And dissolves in the early hours
This may be wrong
Though I thought it was over
I still want to believe
I feel more alive in this moment
Daydreaming, dreaming of you
So, I'm daydreaming, do not wake up
There's nothing I can do with a hoarse voice
Stay next to me tonight, do not go
Hold on, feel my soul
I want to daydream, don’t let it disappear 35
We cannot go back, so don’t go
Stay next to me tonight
Hold on, feel my soul
Cheers for that, puts a new spin on top of the daydreaming thing as well, nice one!
They had to put the Mesa Boogie Amp and Rectifier there. Otherwise they would of never of found little Mincho again in that long grass. They used to just tie a banana to her apron and send Akane to find her. But they both used to disappear to the cake shop.
If we all had rectos, we'd be much easier to find. The logistics of doing this might be tricky, but I like the idea!
@@JbfMusicGuitar I promise not to disappear if someone gave me a recto. Well I might, because I live with my sister and she would probably kill me!
In 2018 this was Kanami's favourite song. A ballad done by Band Maid was always going to be like no other.
the "child-like toy melody" always reminds me of U2. The longing in Miku's voice, singing "Daydreaming, dreaming of you..." gets me every time
Rabbi Rabbs had said a similar thing, very much in agreement with you both!
Awe man and I was gonna suggest you do a video on your favorite 80’s power ballad guitar solos😂🤘🏻. J/K Still nice reaction to this…one of my favorites from them! Kanami solo is 🔥 🔥🔥
Well! The 80s power ballad cheesey solo is the type of ballad I enjoy... lord knows what that says about me and my musical tastes!
Don't ask me why, but when I hear someone use the word "poppy" I just want to smash my head into something. 😂
It does have oddly negative connotations, doesn't it?
@@JbfMusicGuitar I think 99% of the time, "catchy" is a better word to use, unless one is talking specifically about production. And I firmly believe there is some good actual pop out there, but the term and genre have been indelibly tainted by money-over-art industry practices. It's very much like how swastikas had a neutral or even positive meaning until the Nazis corrupted them.
Thank you for picking up on Akane's drumming in the second verse. I love her tom work in this song. She has a happy knack of elevating the girls in front of her with her toms. I love this song, it's brilliant all the way through - but Akane is constantly underrated by many on this.
Yeah, nice bit of extra drive her tom work adds!
Yay! So many BAND-MAID reactions come through my feed my eyes cross. It's great for the band, so I'm so happy about it for them, but most of the reactions are... well, not good. So it's always particularly gratifying when one of your comes along, Jack. Thank you for coming back to BAND-MAID!
Disdain for musicals?!?!?! Get thee behind me, Satan. ;) To each their own, they're just (often) so funny!
Far too kind of you my dude, much obliged!
Nah, musical theater (misspoke there) although I did fall asleep during the second part of Hamilton
I would help you unwrap your crossed stalky eyes GG, It's my job as a fellow Maidiac to help you.🦀
@@GaryHolloway-810 Brother, you have no idea how many times I start the video, decide 1m in I can't palate it, and spend the rest of hte video ignoring the reaction and trying to think of something funny to add to your comment.
One of my favourite Band-Maid songs and one I've never called a ballad, perhaps because the term has connotations of something slow, genteel, old, to me at least - even though it does do what the dictionary definition of a ballad does and "narrate a story in a few stanzas"! The story is basically saying "I love you, I miss you, I'm daydreaming of you and would rather stay asleep and dream of being with you than wake up to reality without you". Although you mentioned the word 'ballad' a few times before the song started, you didn't use it much during the song so I'm wondering if you'd still class this as a ballad. I (from my non-muso viewpoint) have always thought of it as simply a soft Rock song in the late 80's style of a band like U2 - especially that lead guitar sound throughout the song (but not Obi-Wan Kanami's small solo which would probably stretch The Edge's skills). Nice to hear you're a Stewart 'Radovan' Lee fan - the only comedian I've gone to see three times. I see he's sporting a beard now, possibly in an attempt to fool the Hague War Crimes Tribunal. 🤣😂 PS Have you ever heard his 'Pea Green Boat' narrative. I got him to sign a CD of it at the last gig I went to. It's dark. And very funny. ua-cam.com/video/U45LqP7AKUk/v-deo.html
Yeah, this is a ballad to me, a rocky one, but still has a ballad-y feel. Having said that I totally get where you're coming from
I don't think I've heard that bit from him before, looking forward to it!
@@JbfMusicGuitar A Rocky ballad is good for me! Enjoy the Stew - it's class.
Damn i guess i should stop writing my "Ballad of Jack" song then. It's a pity, Miku was helping me write the lyrics.😔
Easy fix. Just change the name to "Have a drink of Jack". 🤷🏻♂MISA will assist.
@@jkkansasband7056 Hey now why didn't i consult you in the first place. What an awesome idea.😁👍
* Ballads by Gary Holloway are an obvious exception!
@@JbfMusicGuitar Aw shucks, thx Jack.🤭
Nice reaction. I guess I can cosign my annual ticket for "The Pirates of Penzance" to the dustbin.
I went to an opera once years ago, can't say I took to it!
I learned early on when listening to the Maids that I will listen to the song through, concentrating on the music. But I immediately will look up the lyrics and have found that all of their songs are very deep and sometimes even spiritual about life , love and relationships.
I uses to be really into lyrics in my teens, but seem to have really drifted away from them. Should maybe make an effort to rekindle that passion!
In Daydreaming I'm drawn to Saiki's lower regirser in verses. She's like talking to me as a person. The band comes along but not as a driving force. I think tt's more like a mood piece, you know.. a bit stagnant where you kind of.. float.. Of course until Mincho blasts through your mental images.
Mood piece is a good shout Olli, well put!
At 0:55 you said you are a sucker for 1980's ballads, so I knew we had a chance you'd enjoy this one, because, at least to me, there is so much in that song reminiscent of the first three tracks of U2's "The Joshua Tree" album from the 1980's, and even from U2's 1984 "In The Name Of Love". I bet you'll notice it after you listen to "Daydreaming" again.
That is really interesting since I don't really like what I have heard of U2 either, I have the same "boring" and "uncomfortable" feeling while listening to those songs than I have listening to Daydreaming. So it might be the guitar sound/melodies that don't do it for me personally. I am in the same boat as Jack with the exception that I haven't heard a lot of ballads from any era that I really like :).
about Us or Acoustic Puzzle might actually be the closest to it, not sure how much people consider those ballads. I do, but I like them a lot so I might be wrong :).
It's more those Hard Rock (Thunder's Love Walked In springs to mind) or super cheesey ones that get me! But aye, can totally hear a similar vibe going on between those tunes. I've never really spend enough time listening to The Joshua Tree, really need to get round to it!
Apparently Saiki asked Kanami to compose a ballad for her. The result is Daydreaming. Considering the supposed feelings Kanami has for Saiki there has to be a strong emotional element here. Whatever it is unmistakable Kanami and Band Maid and Kanami's solo is superb. Typical wonderful Band maid performance.
You nailed it with the still you chose to show at the end. I'm very much a Band-Maid fan despite their visual image, rather than because of it, but that shot of Kanami with equipment in the foliage and concrete ruins.... It's a great aesthetic for a song called Daydreaming.
Cheers dude!
Jack, thanks for playing and reacting to Band-Maid's Daydreaming. Each part of this song seems to erupt in Kanami's solo creating an emotional and magical effect, at least to me. Music when performed well seems to speak to the heart and communicates more clearly than words could ever express.
Beautifully put my dude!
Collectively, this is the madiacs' favorite song. Mostly for the emotion conveyed in Kanami's Santana-esque solo. As you picked up on... this song makes me feel things.
Not every song will be for everyone... and I'm happy to hear you express your thoughts about the song, instead of just saying 'nope...' and moving on.
This solo to me is why I think Kanami is a genius, it's not complicated, it's not long, it's just perfect for the song, it's memorable and it gets me emotionally every time for some undefinable reason. As stated the song as a whole evokes the title perfectly, again the brilliance of Kanami's songwriting to which is added the wistful vocals of Saiki and Miku
Always something cool to take away from these songs, even if it's not my favourite one!
My hot take is that this is one of her solos I'm less keen on, lmao... might need to keep quiet about that, it does seem to be a fan favourite!
@@JbfMusicGuitar It's okay Jack. You are allowed to have a wrong opinion every so often.:) Seriously though...it seems to be a solo that ppl either love or are just meh about. Just depends on whether it hits you emotionally or not. Interesting that you much prefer Wonderland which is a borderline ballad but I will admit there is a lot more happening musically in Wonderland
@@falconsooner I think part of it is also expectation, I'd heard a lot or positive things about this solo so the bar was raised kinda thing, you know?
Thanks for the awesome shout out. I want to hit your tip jar, but where is it? I'll find one under a prior video.
Cheers dude! I'm not too sure where it goes to be honest, lol
Always think that the backing vocals from Miku adds the heart to the song. Music as always is in the heart of the listener and I think the Maids always manage to create 'atmospheres' very well.
Yeah, agree with you there Russell!
Daydreaming about Daydreaming
Aye, took me long enough to twig that one eh? lmao
This is definitely a song where a longer guitar solo would fit really nicely. Both as a contrast to the verses and to reinforce the daydreaming theme. I'd really like to hear Kanami write a song with a sustained guitar solo. It would be super popular along side their other stuff.
Sustainer solos are awesome, good shout!
I just love BAND-MAID. sue me :)
Jack, sorry you're not a big fan of this song, as it hits me as much and more as any Band-Maid song does. They'll get you on the next one. Peace. 44.5
It's not a bad song, just not my cup of tea, really cool elements so still a tonne of stuff to appreciate!
NEW MV dropping today 8/9 11am est USA in 2 hours
Nice one, thanks for the tip!
Since it's my own favourite of the ladies, of course, I find it a bit sad that songs like this don't appeal to you. But that's also the beauty of music, isn't it? Tastes are different and everyone feels it differently. :) Thank you for your honest opinion and thoughts on this song. 🙏🏻✌🏻

It's still a good song, just not for me! Always a rocker at heart, lmao!
Just a heads up, I think the Moratorium video is missing from the Band-Maid playlist. I definitely agree with you on ballads, but still great job as ususal on the video! If you're still looking for more song suggestions to add to the list, Hibana (the third song on the Sense/Corallium single) and Rock in me (a pop punk-type song with Miku on solo vocals) are two really good ones. Also, you've mentioned a couple you wanted to do a deep dive on one of their songs? If you haven't decided which one yet, I really hope you choose. There's so much going on with that song and it feels you only scratched the surface last time around with that😅
Well spotted, cheers for that dude, have added it!
Thanks dude, yeah I try to get to the most requested songs first, and the ones through Patreon get bumped up the list as well. Oh man, I'm still in two minds about a deep dive, I might go off the rails and end up going in to mad detail... the thought of editing that is enough to give me nightmares!
My favorite song.
This song really needs subtitles. I encourage you to listen to it a few more times. It's subtle.
I think there's two aspects to making music. One is the craft of it: Being able to play notes quickly, cleanly, and precisely - similar to an artist being able to freehand a straight line or a perfect circle. The other is the emotion of it: Being able to express your feelings using phrasing and tempo and volume. Some of the hardest music to play is the simplest. It's much harder to play softly and slowly than hard and fast, but there can be so much more emotion in it (if done well). Being able to draw circles doesn't produce a Renoir.
Aye, that's a fair point. someone very kindly posted the lyrics here, I had a read of them and got that other sort of meaning of the song
This official music video was made in Taiwan back in 2016.
On unit a typical band maid song but a solid track in my opinion … nice driving chorus … works for me
I'm watching 🎸👌👍
❤✌🤘
Cheers bud!
Magical!
Play it 50% louder and then it will land 👍😁 Well, if it doesn't then you're probably a Grinch...heart two sizes too small 🤣
Playing it louder doesn't help, I know from experience.
But maybe I am a Grinch, I never cared for these types of ballads. I'm not really sure why, but in my case it certainly is true that I noticed that my brain works differently compared to most people for specific things. Emotions are certainly one of them. There is plenty of music that makes me feel emotions, but ballads are typically not one of those and I find them boring and uncomfortable to listen to. There are obviously exceptions, even within Band-Maid songs like about Us, Wonderland or the Acoustic version of Puzzle which I really like and do make me feel emotions, but just in general these type of slower "cheesy" (to my ears) songs are not for me.
So I don't think it's the heart, I think it's the brain (at least in my case).
Or maybe, just maybe it's just a difference in taste :)
Then I'll just complain about getting tinnitus, haha!
There's something about ballad-y tunes that I just don't 'get' for the most part, occasionally they do still hit
@@JbfMusicGuitar I do have tinnitus 🤔 go figure 😁
@@MaartenT The Grinch comment was just a sarcastic English man poking the Scottie dog to see if he bites 😁 We can't, and don't need, to like everything...I'm oddly-wired and incapable of disliking any B-M song thus far. MISA on the 'About Us' Live is a highlight for me ❤ + 🤟 (in the absence of a specific slow-rock hand signal 😁)
キター＼(^o^)／
Well, that's one way to fuck up !
In regards to muscials, I LOVE the original Music Man, and the original My Fair Lady movies of musicals. Most of the stage productions however, I find lacking, in some cases extremely lacking. I think it has to do with the personalities of the actors and actresses of the films that makes me enjoy them so much. But I also love Gone With The Wind, so maybe I'm a little weird.
There are some great musicals! I misspoke a bit there, meant 'musical theatre' can't think of one I could make it through. Hamilton is about the closest, but I fell asleep in the second half, lol! Just not my bag. Gone With The Wind is a bit of a classic, nowt wrong with that!
Up to this date, I always get carried by the guitar solo of this song.
She does just sort of erupt out of nowhere!
Sometimes ( maybe it's against popular belief ) musician snobbery isn't a good thing ! Just something to ponder and think about !
How was he being snobbish?
This one isn’t going to go over well. LOL
Most people absolutely love this song.
Most ppl, with a couple of exceptions, were accepting of Jack's reaction. He warned us ahead of time of his anti ballad bias:). But Jack has a ton of credibility and been more than fair to the Maids. Only saw one person who seemed upset and unsuscribed.

I didn’t say people would unsubscribe.
Just that most people will disagree.
Notice the LOL at the end of my comment.
@@powbobs Thanks for clarification. I thought you were suggesting there would beva lot of nasty comments. I mis interpreted your post. My bad.
You know what, I wasn't actually bothered about uploading this one even if I'm not super keen on the song. You guys are really great to chat to music about and I figured if I explain where I'm coming from it wouldn't be an issue, seems to very much be the case... unless everyone is secretly seething with rage!
Honestly, I have commented on not liking this song in the past (even though I really like Band-Maid) and I never really got too much trouble in doing so. I know fandoms can have a bad reputation for not being able to deal with criticism and I have seen instances of that in a lot of different fandoms (including Band-Maid), but I think the Band-Maid community in general is quite open to people not liking specific songs or even not liking the band as long as they don't start shitting on them flatout.
I think it all depends on how you explain your criticism. This is a well made video on a highly loved track by the majority of Band-Maid fans. I am sure the majority will be fine with it.
What I always think is there isn't much to say about "Daydreaming"...the classic case of words displaying their uselessness trying to describe the essence of something sublime.

Hmmmmm, kinda bitter sweet here for me. Glad you got back to Band-Maid but sad you rifled through one of their best tunes like you had a hot date waiting at the end of the react and talked over everything., especially Kanami's solo. Personally I'd rather not even see this type of react if your not into it. Do it for the love of a song, not just to do a react. I truly hope this is not what the allure of the "Patreon" $$ is doing to reactors. Patreon is agenda driven that I can have no part in. Look forward to your next react...thanks
I understand your sentiment but have a different perspective. Reactors don't make any $$$ off BM reactions and Jack puts a lot of time into the reactions and licks, chords etc. He has reacted to BM way more than any other band because he finds them interesting (Expect the Unexpected).
Patreon is the one way that reactors can make money off their efforts plus it does ensure a reactor hears a song that you want him/her to. I suggested both Corallium and Don't You Tell Me to him through Patreon and he enjoyed both of those. If not for Patreon he might not have gotten around to listening to them. Jack's reactions (part 1) have been a bit shorter than they use to be in an effort to make them more YT algorithm friendly. Reminder there is still a part 2 of this where he will expound on the elements he found interesting. Also music hits folks differently. For example Jack really liked Wonderland...in fact he probably liked it more than I do. I'm sure he would prefer Wonderland to Daydreaming whereas I'm the opposite.
Totally get where you coming from Jim, but I need to listen to the song to see what I think of it- if I've done the setup for filming and recording I'll still upload it. With the Patreon thing, if I was over the top gushing about how much I loved everything that would probably be a better business model. I don't want to lie and pretend I'm super in to something if it's not totally my cup of tea, you know?
My hot take here is that this is one of my least favourite Kanami solos * runs away in fear *
There's plenty about the song I enjoy and think is really cool stuff going on which I'll dive in to next week
That is a really weird statement to me. Reactors shouldn't only react to songs they like, they should listen to songs and say what they think about them (hence reacting to the song). If they like it, great. If they don't they should say so as well, preferably in a civil way, no need to attack people who like specific music. Music is art. People don't like the same things about art and not everyone likes the same art. That's what makes music so great imo. The world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same things.
Reactors are not meant to be advertisers of bands (even though I discovered a lot of bands because of reaction channels). I would rather have honest reactors who say how they feel than people lying that they love everything because people request those songs in the hope of either growing their channel or get more patrons.
There are plenty of those channels around with people just trying to say what the fans want to hear and I usually can quickly sniff them out and stop watching their stuff. It personally bothers me to no end.
I really do not understand musicians who give a statement, that they are not a fan of ballads or Musicals. Every song is different and there are so many ballads and also musical songs which are amazing. Some musical stuff is also usable as Rock songs, only think about Phantom of the Opera by Nightwish or Defying Gravity ( Wicked ) by Kerry Ellis and Brian May.
I have for sure also my main direction which is Rock, but I found good music in every genre. You as a musician should also be open for the whole bandwidth of music.
Because I tend to not like ballads and rarely find any musical theater that I've enjoyed.
If I find ones that I enjoy I'm pleasantly suspired. But it's just daft to think I'm going to really, really love something (that I know from years and years of listening to, learning, studying and playing music) I tend to be a bit indifferent towards.
People have different tastes
I am not a musician, but I can confidently say that ballads and musicals in general are not for me. Does that mean I won't give them a chance? No. It means I usually don't like them when I do give them a chance. I have over 1100 CD's/ music DVD's/Blu-ray's in my collection and have listened to a lot of different genres and subgenres over the years (from gabber hardcore when I was young over Hip-hop to Punk and Reggae/Ska into a lot of different Metal genres as well as Modern Classical, Ambient, Psytrance, Drum & Bass, some Jazz, IDM/Electronica, ...). I can find something I like in most genres I have listened to, although there are some exceptions.
I still am not a huge fan of most ballads I have heard, the same with musicals. I am sure there are some out there that I would like, but sifting through the stuff I really dislike makes it difficult to try and get into them.
I don't think anyone saying that they don't like a specific genre or style of music means that they dismiss it outright or say that it's bad. It just means it's generally not for them.
I will always do my best to not say music is bad, I don't think bad music exists, but that doesn't mean that I like every genre or style. Everyone has a different taste in music and that's just what makes music so great imo.
Edit:
Also, ignoring my preconceptions on the female Japanese bands last year and giving Band-Maid a chance opened me up to a whole new category of music I hadn't really explored yet. It has plenty of parts I am still not a huge fan of (usually the more poppy chorusses), but I do enjoy most of the bands I have heard in general at least somewhat and I am getting more and more used to the parts I really didn't like in the beginning. It made me also spend way too much money importing all that music, but I am still glad I gave them a shot after ignoring all those videos previously. It is incredible how talented the musicians in a lot of those bands are.
Don't quit your day job this song was absolutely awesome I was subscribed but not anymore good luck
Dude...that was a little harsh. Jack has always been very supportive of the maids and has had excellent reactions. He warned ahead of time he wasn't a big fan of ballads. Even though it wssn't his favorite...he found some really cool elements. Incidentally he really liked Wonderland. Some songs just hit folks differently. For example YOLO never really resonated with me and a lot of BM fans love it.
starocean - Jack is a musician and an honest reactor that is not trying to hype up his reactions. Fans and musicians can disagree without striking out at a reaction we don't agree with. Jack has been one of several good reactors that provide valuable music information about groups we care about. Take a breath - and relax a bit.
I think this song is AWESOME. Some of my friends don't care for Band-Maid or The Beatles. I don't disown them for it. That's just their loss. Jack has too many great qualities as a reactor to announce your move. There are soooo many bad reactors that I just don't bother with. Jack is nowhere near one of them.
My day job is as a musician, so I'll keep that up, cheers!
Sorry to see you go, but I'm not going to totally love every song and I'm not going to lie about it. Having said that, I still found plenty of stuff I enjoyed in this piece, which will be in the longer analysis video
