Original maid with red bow represents Miku, starting off in the actual cafe she worked at and gave her the idea for Band-Maid. The rage in this vid I think is less about rage and more about a fierce longing to make something of herself. Time to make a band! Second maid at first glance seems like Saiki, but it's Kanami. She's the first to join the band after Miku found her on the internet. (The maid was on the internet via her phone). Third maid is Akane. This rounds out the girls who still wear obvious maid apparel of some sort. Next to join is the janitor, representing MISA, entering just as the bass section plays. No maid outfit for her! Lastly, right on cue with the vocals, is the manager representing Saiki, the last to join, and the person who has the last say on if a song is done or not. Now all five are together. The dancing is Band-Maid performing. The final pose amongst the wreckage of the locker room is the finished product, Band-Maid, being presented to the world. This is Miku's story about the formation of Band-Maid.
@@metalheadmonkeywrenchreact8739 hey Metal Head, I was very surprised that you have not done a reaction to Nightwish ? the Wacken 2013 concert is a Gold mine of incredibly amazing music ,the whole concert is considered a seminal event, consider that some reactors have over 2.7 Million views on just one reaction to Nightwish , songs like Ghost River, Song of Myself, Bless The Child,Romantacide,and EverDream will BLOW you away for sure, cheers. * The most reacted to song on YT is : NIGHTWISH - Ghost Love Score (OFFICIAL LIVE) : Wacken 2013, : ua-cam.com/video/JYjIlHWBAVo/v-deo.html **and these are amazing and heavier : Ghost River (Wacken 2013) : ua-cam.com/video/05eitd-EA6I/v-deo.html Nightwish - Bless the Child (Wacken 2013) : ua-cam.com/video/VTPXvE6o3LY/v-deo.html NIGHTWISH - Romanticide (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO-Wacken 2013) : ua-cam.com/video/zz_7OCCQlXs/v-deo.html NIGHTWISH - Ever Dream (OFFICIAL LIVE-Wacken 2013) : ua-cam.com/video/1Xi4n8dJcF8/v-deo.html Nightwish - Song of Myself LIVE-Wacken 2013- : ua-cam.com/video/lQu5QjidHWg/v-deo.html
so that explains the other unknown maids in the vid. thanks for that. wonder if miku ever raged like that in the cafe. if so i can see why she's not there now !
@@metalheadmonkeywrenchreact8739 Yep. The first scene is the literal place where Miku used to work. It's called @Home Cafe is the biggest and best maid cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo.
Great song and fun video! Bad day in the Maid Cafe from Miku's past? Kanami and Miku make a song writing powerhouse! Band-Maid, five hard working and brilliant musicians! Band-Maid rocks!
@@660DOHCNAKED You're welcome. It's one thing to hear about it, quite another to actually see it :) It showed up in an interesting conversation I had wih someone in the official video comments.
Favorite band for me now. But yes this is filmed where Miku came up with the whole maid image. Kanami is one of my all time favorite guitarists, right there with EVH, Slash, Neil Schon, David Gilmor, Jimmy Page, John Petrucci, Cris Olivia, Carlos Santana, who is one of Kanamis influences. Nemophila is the other japanese band i love, like Band Maid uber talented. Akane here in BM and Tamu in Nemophila are my favorite drummers now.
My take: The freak and dance bit borrowed the actual staff room of a maid cafe. It's funny when you know the idea for Band-Maid came from Miku, actually working in a maid cafe years ago. So as you were saying, waiting tables can have its extreme frustrations. That's the "before" life for Miku. Two more little observations: the freakout followed by music moving people to start all dancing in synch follows the events in a Michael Jackson video, and They used exactly three uniformed Maids (although they are five), which I take to be a joking reference to BabyMetal who they are often compared to, despite playing their own instruments and never doing choreographed dances in their live concerts (BabyMetal started as three young girls, who are now two young adults, singing and dancing in front of a separate, mostly male Kami Band who are in heavy makeup. BabyMetal HAS a metal band, Band-Maid IS a hard rock band, only the lead singer doesn't play an instrument. Both are good at what they do, but very different.). Beyond that, I see the lyrics expressing frustration in the now (the after life) with those in the music industry who want to control them, rip them off, etc. There's never a shortage of power freaks. This set of lyrics with a rough English translation of the Japanese portions by Reddit user "nairOn" appears to support the idea that although on the surface the frustration expressed in the song could be personal relationship issues, the more we understand of the words the more it looks like issues with the industry and that it's hard to know who to trust. "Which way to go. I wonder...not yet, I wonder...not yet, I’m fed up It is a bad dream. Being lost, feeling dizzy. Waste of time, waste of time A merry-go-round once in 3 seconds LALALA LALALA How far will it go? yeah yeah yeah Ally? Enemy? I try to win the matches that I want to win Wo wo wo wo if it is possible we will be strangers in the after life - Love or like, whatever then. Not important how it is called Whatever Ideals, Jokes spit out. Wake me up if it is a dream Love and like however, because it can not be expressed by such things True intention blends in.

To bet or not hesitation comes in It is annoying such My Life (i couldn't come up with better translation of 愛(love) and 恋(like). 恋 is generally understood as an emotional tie stronger than like but not as deep as love). My takeaway: In the "after life" to her workaday world, even while fulfilling her musical dreams, frustrations with peoples' behavior persist, they're just different. But play kickin' music, dance a bit and all will be well. (Although she also throws in a brief reference to the possible FURTHER afterlife, saying we will be strangers then... Miku's lyrics always have more to them than seen at first glance.)
Damn, that breakdown and ending were particularly strong in this one. Try just listening to the audio - it's a slamming song and you won't get so caught up in what's being portrayed - and you know someone in the comments will rxplain everything! 😂🤘
I think it might be "Ok I'm better now. Back to work". Just an FYI doing a song and dance thing is normal in a Maid Café from what I've heard. Never been yet!

i keep waiting for this new cd to pop up on amazon usa but nothing yet. bought all the rest of their catalog there over the last 4 years. what's up amazon ? i could go overseas but freight is steep. love their live performances but all of their videos are so cool and entertaining. the only vid i did not care for in 7 years was 'start over' even though i really like the song. the shoot locations are amazing for most of them. see real existence , non-fiction days , secret my lips [band maiko version] , daydreaming , don't you tell me. all brilliant
Band Maid has a new label. They moved from Revolver Records to Pony Canyon Records a few months ago, and the new album was released by the new label. My guess is that Pony Canyon does not have a North America distribution agreement with Amazon, while Revolver did. You *can* buy the album from the Amazon Japan site (if you have a Japanese Amazon account ).
@@ozien2 too bad - i've been avoiding having to open another amazon account but looks like now i will have to.but if they want even more sales they could do themselves and the fans a favor and make it available thru usa amazon. thanks for the info
Is there 'life after' Band-Maid? Maybe. But it won't be the same. And I'd miss my aching 7 year smile. Miku's "after life" came once she quit the cafe maid thing and started Band-Maid.

My take: In a bad situation, rage and frustration is contagious! (No zombie meme required.) Music is their saviour, as it was for Miku.
I definitely see that. Good take. That definitely went over my head but makes sense
Damn, that breakdown and ending were particularly strong in this one. Try just listening to the audio - it's a slamming song and you won't get so caught up in what's being portrayed - and you know someone in the comments will rxplain everything! 😂🤘
For sure. The vid I watched has subs on but the one I downloaded for my vid didn't carry subs with it. My apologies
