BAND MAID XMAS SONG: Miku the red rose pigeon/ Had a very shiny rose/ And when Saiki heard the news/ She went and bought some shoes/ All of the other Band- Maids/ MISA Akane and Kanami/ They all helped the small pigeon/ Play in perfect harmony/ Then one quiet Christmas eve/ Santa came to say/ Miku with your band so tight/ Won't you play an okyu-ji tonight/ Then all the Band-Maids shredded/ Like they do normally/ Miku the red rose pigeon/ You're part of musical history!
Ah the steel pillar, the legendary 6th member of BAND-MAID. It's an imposing figure & it's the only thing that stops the house from coming down (Literally) :)
Thanks for being with me in that Hamburg OKYUJI! 🤘 I was frantically moving my phone from left to right, trying to catch all the awesomeness happening on the stage. Miku and MISA, and then Kanami doing her amazing riffs... I'm seriously contemplating, can I employ two phones next time, to catch the whole stage at once? 🤔
Rock in me is played around the middle of the show, it is where Saiki has a pee break and it is where Miku has her magic spell time with the audience! The song is so much fun, the crowd loves it!! Hey! Hey!
This song has a cool rock/swing vibe. Kinda like Soft Cel's "Tainted Love" meets AFI's "Miss Murder" BTW, pretty sure the background "Na, na, na" in the chorus is Kanami. She for sure sings that part live.
I always think of this as having a real cabaret or music-hall feel, but that might be because Miku's so good at singing directly _to_ the audience in the lives of this song.
@@ShikataGaNai100 Becky has got one of the most beautiful legs in the industry. That's her most important asset, I would say. The Pigeon has got pigeon legs, but God has compensated her with a lot of other talents, and also a very beautiful soul. Miku is a role model for many people in this world... me including.
The RIAJ is slowly removing my fancams from UA-cam. Just yesterday they have removed that video of Moratorium in Paris, where Kanami gives a mighty downward kick to Akane's cymbal. So, download the originals from Google Photos, the links are under many of my videos, in the description section. Just in case they block everything and delete my channel.
In one of the Hamburg tracks Akane tries to grab a banana in the middle of the song and she drops her drumstick. I forget which track but somebody will know.
You can find more of such things in Melkweg footage. It's not banana she grabs, it looked like a cookie or something. She puts it in her mouth, tries to chew it, and loses her stick. And then Daisuke Kondo-san quickly runs across the stage, picks the stick and places it on her kick drum. And it happened quite a few times during that show. It seems Akane was really hungry that night.
Nice to see the Dallas footage. When I met the band before the show I asked Miku, “Rock in Me tonight, po?” She smiled and said ‘Is secret”. I can report that I thought Kanami’s guitar was too low all night. Also Akane was mostly in the dark and the stage was too low. I have to correct you, I believe me and 249 of my friends were providing the backing vocals that night. All in all a magical night.
You definitely need to watch all of the Hamburg show recorded by Vladimir. The crowd was right next to the stage. Kanami was nuts at that concert. Especially the long guitar solo opener to Moratorium.

Could've saw them in New York in April 2019. Went to Talladega instead. Talladega was awesome but I should've gone and seen the Maids. I've been to Talladega 5 times. Only reason I went is because I've got the camper and already committed to my friends that where counting on me. Next time they come to 🇺🇸 I'm there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤘
The songs that Kanami composes for Miku always have a different vibe, something brighter, which relates perfectly to that wonderful softer and lighter tone of voice. BTW: Great comparison with Weezer and MCr, I use to listen to them ten years ago
if you want see Akane, I told you before, you should find "alone" video shot in London, the video is focused 100% focused on Akane from the side of the stage, not the audience but someone staff must have taken this shot. And you can see really well how hard she is hitting the drum. So hard that at end of the concert, I'd imagine entire drum set needs to be re-tuned up. You need to find that video.
This takes me back to the old days.....the best days....the glam Rock days. To me this is a Poison song....Mos-def But in a few of their other songs...I cant think of the song titles right now but they also have the grittiness of a Faster Pussycat in them
Hey WP here's a fun one for you if you can find it. Kanami vs. Shinji Wanima (Ningen Isu) in a TV Show live person duel...... with puppets. if you can't "Old Mr B" has it
They literally don't have a song I dislike. Even their less known, but not lesser, songs are just as good as the big ones. This one just "feels" like a Miku song. Meaning it's like it's made for her singing. BTW Wave, I found a new Japanese band called The BONEZ. Check out We are The BONEZ.
Vladimir gets such great video footage! His Band Maid videos might be used some day as pro-Band Maid propaganda to help get them onto the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
Re. Akane's drum triggers. I seem to remember another reactor commenting a long time ago that he was sure she was using triggers during Onset to emphasise certain beats at the end of verses. So, yes, it's possible.
Saw this late. I believe in the Roland video, it was said that she experiences the TM to give her opinion on it, not that she uses it. There is a reason the band calls her -gorilla. She hits the heads hard and not because of a TM. Her power comes from her wrists (connected to the forearm), similar to John Bonham. Another supporting fact, the trigger module is on the floor between Akane's feet in the Roland video, and in the Band-Made Prime videos, there is no such device near her feet.
They change the Miku solo song for the Okyujis whenever a new Miku song is on an album release. When they finally start touring again (and on the online Okyujis) it's now Sayonakidori. Although I love the new song and I'm happy Miku gets to show off her guitar skill improvement, I'm still a little sad that I'll probably never experience Rock In Me in person (and Onset). Side note...of course I love Saiki's vocals but I also want a CD of just Band-Maid instrumentals.
rock in me!!!??? you got a like on the title. the version for tokyo zepp is my fav You have seen enough of the small venue songs.... you mention everyone and how good they are but always miss a very important person.... the guy fixing their cables. he works hard on the small venues
Daisuke Kondo-san is a great person. He can play anything, and he's working hard helping them on their tours. When he's back home, he rides the motorbikes, and posts about it in his Twitter. Really cool man.
Check your BM Prime for the World Domination Tour 2018 part 3. She sings to prerecorded music, then they cut it off leaving her frustrated. It's a funny gag, 18:34 (of that Prime clip) I wish I knew what she said there... Anyone know?
A fan has created that meme from it, with a photo of Miku holding a fork to the camera, and saying, "The next time you cut my backing track, the song will be called not Rock In Me, but Fork In You."
@@VladimirChupin no no.. no mic.. he said when she is not playing she is cheering the public.. so i pointed out that even she is singing while playing.. but yes no mic for her anyways you can see her doing some vocals in the live video of thrill of 2015.. with a mic
Hirose Akane nem "szabványos" dobos. Sok meglepő dolgot művel. Ne csodálkozz... De nagyon jó a csaj. Hirose Akane is not a "standard" drummer. He does a lot of surprising things. Do not be surprised... But the chick is very good. Bocsánat a fordítóért... :)
I'd agree 99%. But Miku is absolutely perfect for this song though. People say Miku doesn't get enough credit but she does. The band gets her to take lead, she takes every opportunity to shine. That shows how much Band-Maid members love and respect her as much as fans do. But I feel Saiki deserves more credit though.
9:50 Misa is by Akane so that they can communicate with each other. They are probably just pulling funny faces trying to make each other laugh. They've practiced like hell and performed it already numerous times so that they can afford to have fun even during the performance.

Hi Wave, Greetings from Hamburg!
In the video for Secret My Lips, you can see Akane hits HARD.💪🏻🤘🏻

underrated comment.
👏👏👏👏 Awesome dude! Good job Randy!

@@DMiyash248 I know, it's shocking. The steel pillar needs a mention now & again just so people know it's importance within the band:)
Finally! Saiki can breathe.
@@GaryHolloway-810 Miku OWNING the House...of Blues...with Kanami doing backup vocals.
@@GaryHolloway-810 That pillar is PURE METAL. LMAO
@@ShikataGaNai100 LOL. And that steel pillar really is the immovable object meets the irresistible force :)
This is probably my most fav Miku song. This song fits Miku so well and Maidiacs can have fun with her😍

Miku solo songs:
Summer Drive
Big Dad
Beauty and The Beast
TIME
Rock In Me
サヨナキドリ - Nightingale
Also Peace&Love and Flapping wings (as cluppo).
Time is a wonderful, soulful song.
@@ShikataGaNai100 Strongly agree.
My favorite Miku solo.
Sayonakidori is my personal favorite.
In "Summer Drive" Saiki sings the bridge. Btw. I love MISAs basslines in this song !!!
@@joki5346 I should probably have said "Songs with Miku on lead vocals".

Really enjoying this thank you Mr Potter for another excellent review its class.
When you get to the more obscure band maid songs that are not usually requested- and find out all of THEM are still amazing :)
One of the most fun BAND-MAID's tracks. The pigeon owns the crowd and the band. Remember, she is the founder of BAND-MAID.
🤙🏼

She only composed the one from unseen world , other writers did rock in me and time
@@adamrock3443 Time is written by Okamoto but Rock in Me is written by the band in collaboration with Tienowa

Well, they add a lot of instrumentals now to almost every one of their releases. The only one still unreleased officially is Go Nuts!!
