Kanami is no typical shredder as Miyako, but more about what happens through the song, a true riffmaster. Just like her metal counterpart she started with piano from early on, which they use in their composing.
I am so jealous that your Band Maid journey is just beginning, you are in for a great ride with this band. For live I would suggest "Play", "Real Existence", or "Wonderland". Enjoy!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Also many Western woman can't get their head around the fact that many Asian woman are actaually the real deal and not wannabies, Im so pleased Anastasia with her musical back ground sees what many refuse to see or acknowledge,,
I heard them say that Saiki the lead singers outfit is based on a traditional Spanish maid outfit and MISA the bass player has a Chinese influenced maid outfit. Neither of them were keen on the frilly outfits. (Saiki wasn't even told about the outfits when she joined the band. They told her the day before their first gig)!
They are so good at making the Japanese language so attractive. Their musical ability is off the scale -bass, drums and lead guitar are all classically trained pianists - lead guitar and composer Kamani is without ego and composes to include all band members. She also considers her solos important in creating emotions within the song. This is rock to a whole new level. Blessings upon them.
I think Saiki takes a very deep breath just before the song starts and then makes it last all through the song as I can't work out how she manages to take a breath with her constant fast flow of lyrics. Happy New Year!
I know you are a lead singer and focus on that. Miku Kobato the rythm guitar player and second singer is a lead singer in her own right. She founded the Band. Is the principal lyricist. Was going to be the lead singer and decided that they needed a vocalist who was more suited for hard rock. Miku is the off stage face and personality of the band and is the business brain. She sings several band maid songs. She also has a solo project band called Kluppo. Peace and Love is the first single. All members of this band bring something special to it. All contribute. All love each other. There is no ego. As great as they are as individuals together they form Mega Maid! That's why they're one of the greatest rock bands ever! Rock on!🤘
Band Maid Forever! Saiki the lead singer is also wearing a Maid outfit. Just all in black. Often referred to as a Goth Maid uniform. Misa(bass) is also wearing a Maid uniform. Hers is based on a Chinese maid uniform. Great Reaction! Band Maid Forever!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘
You'll love the live videos. You'll see how good they are really are in concert. Not only Lovebites but also Nemophila with Band-Maid. That would be a great show!
Add some more bands like Mary's Blood And Aldious and make a day of it. Of course, Saki would need to get plenty of rest between sets. It could be called Maid-fest.
Just the right song on New Year's Day! Who needs energy drinks when you have Band-Maid in your playlist. 😁 Happy New Year from Germany! 🍀🙏🏻 _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
BAND MAID's catalog is DEEP. Their blend of technicality and pop sensibility is really unmatched because the do it with such consistency its crazy. whats even crazier is they really had to fight their label early in their career to be able to write their own music. what followed tho was 4 legendary albums (Just Bring It, World Domination, Conqueror, and Unseen World) along with a bunch of awesome stand alone singles and b-sides. AAAND speaking of b-sides, Sense has 2 and I highly suggest checking them both out. They are Hibana and Corallium.
I couldn't figure out why I got hooked on Band Maid. I think it's just that they have the feminine form of instrumental mastery. When they make sound it just sounds better. Every note they make is just beautiful. Their bass and drums sound better than anyone and the lead guitar sounds excellent. It's just a pleasure to listen to.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I AM HOPING YOU FOLLOW UP ON THE JWAVE OF ROCK AND METAL. I HOPE YOU FIND THE FAME AND FORTUNE THAT YOU DESERVE; YOUR VOICE IS PERFECT!
I can't ever pick out Kanami's voice. It's not really suited for most of their music, but she has a beautiful and delicate voice. You can hear it on their acoustic pieces.
Band-Maid is music for musicians. They have very distinctive costumes, and they're all beautiful young women, and yet their music videos focus on what's actually important: their playing and singing. I love these ladies so much. In just a year they've blown past every other band and artist to become my favorite music of all time.
Kanami is a very refined guitarist. I appreciate that Kanami does not shred for the entire song. I grew up on Metallica and Megadeth where Kirk and Dave opted for minute long solos. After a few decades of listening to metal guitar soloists, it actually did get old for me.
I'd suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Real Existence (live) & No God BTW - they recently changed their maid outfits. They do that every few years or so
Great reaction to Band-Maid again! Spoiler on the costumes: It depends on when the video you reaction was shot since they alter/change their uniforms periodicly 🙂
2 or 3 years ago Miku said that she got together with a designer in the off-season every year and made 2 costumes each. For cleaning and mishaps. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more now. Saiki used to wear different styles in the same season. I remember the LA. Fans were disappointed at the long dress after seeing photos of the San Francisco short dress. I went to San Fran.😀
Thrill and Dice are still my favorites by them. They are incredibly talented. Also Misa really rips it up on the Bass. look for some of her bass solos, absolutely amazing
A video reaction to my favorite song by my favorite band is a great way to start the new year 😀 Happy new year to you Anastasia and to my fellow Maidiacs 🎆🐯
What hardly anyone mentioned is how this video is structured. It's called "Blooming". At start you only see their bodies but as song progresses you see bottom of their faces, later their faces in the dark and at the end, you see them in full "bloom" in light in their whole glory.
Happy New Year ! grate reaction. I really love Band Maid and looking for their concert in US! If you want to listen more Japanese female band, I really recommend the call "NEMOPHILA"
Try Gacharic Spin...I Wish I, is a new song that they dropped. But they also did one of their songs using toy instruments...fun to watch and amazing how they were able to make it sound sooooo good
Anastasia, Happy New Year!. Try to listen 'Play' or 'Real Existence' or 'Take Me Higher' all of them live but first...pick up your hair or you will end up disheveled after the storm of passion and rhythm among BAND MAID and the excited crowd. And try to find later a song that you don't like with these monsters of rock. You have close to 120 songs waiting for you.
Great reaction. If you want great harmonies, check out their song "Smile". Just an FYI... you might want to edit the title of this video to include the band's name and song title. Happy New Year!
What's even more crazy about Kanami's solo is what Akane is doing on the drums. Normally for a solo the drummer gets out of the way rhythmically to let the guitar, or bass or keyboards shine. Not Akane. What she is doing on the drums is paramount to a solo in itself but she executes it so well and tastefully that Kanami is still the dominant musical line.
Love the reactions, I have to agree about seeing Band-Maid live, was going to see them in july 2020, but then the pandemic hit. I'll travel to see them as well. I was lucky and discovered them in 2019, they are truly unbelievable talented muscians. If you would like to see some good live music, try Turn Me On, live Zepp Tokyo. It's a rocker, btw love your reactions to Lovebites. Japan is kicking the U.S.'s ass in rock right now
BAND-MAID has a Huge following in the U S and they have been here before , plus in Mexico , Germany , England , Switzerland , they are more well known outside of Japan then in Japan .
These girls absolutely rip!! Domination live, Freedom live, Onset live, Moratorium live. There's a few killer tunes for you. These girls write their own music and all of them are talented beyond words!
Anastasia, you have a really good voice. I'm old and my bucket list includes going to a Band Maid concert. I hope you get a chance to react to their official live video of Onset. It's is an instrumental. I hope you get to listen to their softer live videos of acoustic versions of Smile and About Us. They really how off Saiki beautiful and vocal range.
While it sounds like a good idea those pairings you suggest will not happen for more reasons than l can count. Band-Maid is signed to Live Nation and that means in the US and many other places Band-Maid will only play at Live Nation sanctioned events outside of Japan's national borders. So the currently defunct Lovebites (my second favorite band from Japan) or the currently defunct Babymetal would have to sign with Live Nation to appear. Secondly, Band-Maid is the show. It typically lasts two hours. Few established bands would want to preceed the "main event" and Band-Maid would hardly want anyone to follow them. You might see something like Herman Li step on stage to do a song or two with them but even that is not too likely. And, trust me, l have seen these ladies up close and they are a complete show unto themselves. Happy new year. May we all enjoy a much better '22 than we did in '21. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
Took the words right out of my mouth Rob Australia Loves Band-maid and REALLY REALLY hope they will do a couple of shows here in the next couple of years as I can not afford to go to the US to see them AGAIN.
In 2019 BABYMETAL and BANDMAID both signed with Live Nation. I think I remember both for 1 year. I hope BANDMAID doesn't use them again. Live Nation didn't do them justice. BABYMETAL did 20 cities. BANDMAID did 3. Same as the year before. In Chicago, BABYMETAL played for 5,000 at the Aregon Ballroom. That venue sells itself. They could sell 2,000 tickets to 2 garage bands. BANDMAID could have played there. I actually suspect that Live Nation kept BANDMAID from competing with BABYMETAL that year. Live Nation is unscrupulous.
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Thanks Dave. Let me fill you in so you don't have to trust the news. I got the Omicron. I am fully vaccinated and bosted. It amounted to a horrible runny nose but never got into my lungs. The people here getting hospitalized are the unvaccinated. With a half a million exposed per day here and the vaccination rate at 69% the officials say there will be no one left to get sick. ie herd immunity. Where countries have low vaccination rates herd immunity will take much longer. This is why my confidence is high. I truly hope they come your way asap. Have a prosperous new year.
@@jefffromchicago6321 Use them? They are under contract to Live Nation. Under Passport for any and all non Live Nation sanctioned events within Japan's national borders like the regretably cancelled show at the Temple of Sumo for instance. Miku doesn't sign bad contracts. Believe that. Regards.
@@sacluvsBM Thanks. I just don't like the way Live Nation bulldozed all the little guys to get a monopoly but I can see that's it's tough for an artist to work around them. Especially a foreign one without US connections. They are like one-stop shopping. But do you think they did a good job for BANDMAID? I flew to Dallas to see the top quarter of them in a room of 250. I paid for a ticket to Budokan. It was sad. I wish I had an actual ticket for a souvenir.
Great Band and Great Reaction. It's easy to see why they have the dedicated fan base that they do. World Class Writing,Musicianship,Performance and Execution. And then the Fun and Fan interactions are a bonus to their main course. Another stellar band you may enjoy, All Female from Japan is Aldious. ua-cam.com/video/7uyyc2OeQ3Y/v-deo.html.
Band-Maid played live two nights here in NYC back in Sep. 2019, I was supposed to go but ended up being out of town for a family emergency. Not going to miss them this time!
In this music video Band-Maid wanted the audience to pay more attention to the music and not them ! That's why you don't see their faces as much !! They do have a large following in the US , on their last tour here they sold out all their shows !! "Real Existence" Live is one of their better songs !! Great Reaction =)
Saiki's outfits stay the same or quite a while. You can time frame a song by her dress. This shorter one is prior to 2020. 2020 to present she has the longer dress. If you watch Akane and if she has a little hat on you know it's prior to 2019. MISA went to the Full length dress in 2020 also and still wears it, but prior to it her dress too was shorter and she had the fancy print hose too. In fact MISA , Saiki and Kanami's outfits lengthened in 2020 and I noticed it when they released the "Domination" LIVE FEB 2020 Shibuya video, which is a great one to react to for a LIVE watch.
Miku, vocalist/rhythm guitar, sings almost as much as Saiki whether it’s a higher harmony or lower harmony. Their voices are such a wonderful match that sometimes you’d think it’s one voice before realizing it’s both of them. The only other Rock vocal duo that good for me was Alice In Chains’ Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell.💪🏻🤘🏻
Someone might told you that this song was used in a Netflix series named "KATE" already. Then you should check out the another song named " Chosse Me" next. It was also used in the same series too. And both scenes was really cool that you have to check out next.
The problem with Band-Maid sharing the stage in a two man is that they normally play two plus hours. And when it's over, you still want more. (Maybe not your body but your mind will). And if they only played one hour with another group -- although LoveBites would be awesome -- nothing less than two hours would be too short for either band. You'll love the single Band-Maid 24+ song performance, Anastasia -- 3 times!
I'm sorry, it's a long sentence. Over the last 10 to 20 years, the number of young people enjoying rock and metal music has plummeted around the world. However, I think that the number of people who love these music is increasing in Japan. (In particular, the power of women who are active in the world of rocks and metals is attracting attention.) What is the cause of the difference between what is happening in Europe and the United States and what is happening in Japan? .. I think ... In Europe and America, rock and metal music may have created a closed world. "Rock must be music like ****." "People who play metal should do it in a style like ****." As a result, tattoos, piercings, black Clothes, menacing voices, hysterical screams, aggressive performances, and intolerance to other genres of music have been established. (These styles aren't bad, the problem is that they look like symbols that deny other free styles.) I don't think modern young people like that kind of closed-style music. In Japan, it is recognized that "rock and metal music is free music". In other words, rock and metal are perceived as the kind of music that you are free to enjoy your favorite sounds in your favorite style. (I think this is the origin of the original rock music ....) Therefore, I think JAPAN ROCK is characterized by a generous style that wraps around POP, R & B, and even classical music. It seems that Japanese bands such as WAGAKKIBAND / BABYMETAL / BAND-MAID / LOVEBITES / Unlucky-Morpheus / ONE-OK-ROCK are blowing such a wind. A flame that broke out in Liverpool about 50 years ago ignited all over the world. Why did the flame occur? .. I think we need to think about the reason. "From Japan" (This is a sentence using a translation app. I hope it conveys the intention correctly).
Yes they are so complete adding so much in each song.One can detect elements of grunge,metal,shoegaze,pop,and even raping as you noticed.Bandmaid will become legend in rock scene and in rock history.Hard to find in yearsso good stuff like this.And they are all excellent.All in one
I believe it's not so much when people think Saiki is rapping but that she is singing in her native tongue and I would be hard pressed to see a foreign singer fit their language, syllables and accent to a fast rhythm that she's doing that you will see in many of they're songs all the time! Friendly thought...peace be with you.
I love and share your enthusiasm for Band Maid (and Lovebites!) but a joint tour is very unlikely. It takes a year and enormous amounts of hassle for a foreign band to get the visas and other legal crap taken care of, so if a band does not already have a lot of that in process and dates set, 2022 is not realistic. The U.S. and China are by far the most difficult markets for foreign artists of all kinds, because of frankly protectionist rules and regulations. Most US promoters won't touch foreign bands because it's such a headache. This is one reason fans of foreign bands have largely depended on social media to spread the word. And channels like yours! Keep up the great work!
Good reaction..!!! congrats... I will like to request your opinion on Eskimo Callboy, any of the new songs are good to check and see how well they blend styles... You will not be disappointed...
Fun fact - the vocals are not pre-recorded. Band Maid really has *two* singers - Saiki is the main vocalist and Miku is the secondary vocalist (and rhythm guitarist at the same time). It is noted that Miku could take the lead if she wanted to, but she recognizes that Saiki's voice is better suited for most of Band Maid's songs. Both of them are really singing their parts to do the harmony during their videos and live performances. I hope that little fun fact has enticed you into watching their live videos and performances. Do have a go at reacting to some of their official live videos.
Great reaction again. I highly recommend checking out Domination or Real Existence live for more Band-Maid. Or, if you want to discover more of what Japan is offering I highly recommend checking out PassCode. They're more of an idol band like Babymetal, but use more EDM and metalcore. Their songs are an adventure. This is their new single 'Freely' - ua-cam.com/video/5So0weQzo5I/v-deo.html
You watched the solo twice... immediately went back... respect!
and no pause in the solos! You know the quote 😁
Anastasia said she would attend three Band-Maid concerts in 2022. Now we're getting into the admiration range!
"A storm of a band"... nice quote
Kanami is no typical shredder as Miyako, but more about what happens through the song, a true riffmaster. Just like her metal counterpart she started with piano from early on, which they use in their composing.
lol... I've never seen a reactor only listen to this solo once... I love it.
Very soon they will announce their US tour! Seeing them live was amazing! They are better live! Glad you like them
They are good at making catchy melodies, and also construct their songs so each member is highlighted.
I am so jealous that your Band Maid journey is just beginning, you are in for a great ride with this band. For live I would suggest "Play", "Real Existence", or "Wonderland". Enjoy!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
I wish they would have success here! People don't see past the language though....
Also many Western woman can't get their head around the fact that many Asian woman are actaually the real deal and not wannabies, Im so pleased Anastasia with her musical back ground sees what many refuse to see or acknowledge,,
My favorite Band Maid song……………….at the moment. 😁
Thank you for liking the band that made me love Japanese rock . When they come to NYC hope I get to see you at there show. Happy new year !
Very similar to my first response to this song. It's so unbelievably good, especially the guitar solo!
Band-Maid! Blooming Brilliant! Kanami and the Maids... Blinding Brilliance! Thx, Anastasia.
nice reaction ,,Band Maid MORATARIUM live,,also nice song
5:47 yes they don't want to be confused with idol groups.
I heard them say that Saiki the lead singers outfit is based on a traditional Spanish maid outfit and MISA the bass player has a Chinese influenced maid outfit. Neither of them were keen on the frilly outfits. (Saiki wasn't even told about the outfits when she joined the band. They told her the day before their first gig)!

You just can't help but smile when Band Maid rocks out...nice reaction🔥🔥🌹..

I know you are a lead singer and focus on that. Miku Kobato the rythm guitar player and second singer is a lead singer in her own right. She founded the Band. Is the principal lyricist.

You'll love the live videos. You'll see how good they are really are in concert.
Not only Lovebites but also Nemophila with Band-Maid. That would be a great show!
Add some more bands like Mary's Blood And Aldious and make a day of it. Of course, Saki would need to get plenty of rest between sets. It could be called Maid-fest.
Just the right song on New Year's Day! Who needs energy drinks when you have Band-Maid in your playlist. 😁
Happy New Year from Germany! 🍀🙏🏻

Great reaction to Band-Maid again!
Spoiler on the costumes: It depends on when the video you reaction was shot since they alter/change their uniforms periodicly 🙂
They perform in them until they fall apart. :)
2 or 3 years ago Miku said that she got together with a designer in the off-season every year and made 2 costumes each. For cleaning and mishaps. I wouldn't be surprised if they had more now.
Saiki used to wear different styles in the same season. I remember the LA. Fans were disappointed at the long dress after seeing photos of the San Francisco short dress. I went to San Fran.😀
Thrill and Dice are still my favorites by them. They are incredibly talented. Also Misa really rips it up on the Bass. look for some of her bass solos, absolutely amazing
Bandmaid has a couple videos from there NYC concert 2019
MISA MISA MISA! Sai-chan now wears Spanish Maid this iteration is (to me anyway) is Head Maid
A video reaction to my favorite song by my favorite band is a great way to start the new year 😀
Happy new year to you Anastasia and to my fellow Maidiacs 🎆🐯

Lovebites and Band Maid share a lot of fans - it's ok to love both ^_-
Happy New Year!
May 2022 be a good year for you!
Greetings from Japan.

Anastasia, Happy New Year!. Try to listen 'Play' or 'Real Existence' or 'Take Me Higher' all of them live but first...pick up your hair or you will end up disheveled after the storm of passion and rhythm among BAND MAID and the excited crowd.
And try to find later a song that you don't like with these monsters of rock. You have close to 120 songs waiting for you.

Great reaction. If you want great harmonies, check out their song "Smile". Just an FYI... you might want to edit the title of this video to include the band's name and song title. Happy New Year!

Hi Anastasia！
Happy new year！From Tokyo！

I had tickets for Inkarceration in 2020. I was only going there to see Band-Maid.
@@saikisfang9339 that was where I was going too, was really disappointed it got cancelled.
Domination Live 2020 and Freedom are must see live clips. Lots of everything in these 2 songs you will love.
Happy New Year Anastsia
Loved this reaction - especially the solo!
There's great Live footage of them on their mini US tour OF New York at the Gramercy , Dallas at House Of Blues And in LA.
I like Lovebites but they have nothing that compares to "Miku's Magic Time" ,po.
BAND-MAID has a Huge following in the U S and they have been here before , plus in Mexico , Germany , England , Switzerland , they are more well known outside of Japan then in Japan .
love reaction
difficult to search unless you put BAND MAID in the title
All their best live stuff is older and in front of an audience.
Thier MV's are great. but live is where they really shine... "Domination" or "Play" or "Freedom" or "Onset" live 2/14/2020..
These girls absolutely rip!! Domination live, Freedom live, Onset live, Moratorium live. There's a few killer tunes for you. These girls write their own music and all of them are talented beyond words!
Bandmaid and Nemophila will be performing at Aftershock festival 2022!!!!!
Anastasia, you have a really good voice. I'm old and my bucket list includes going to a Band Maid concert. I hope you get a chance to react to their official live video of Onset. It's is an instrumental. I hope you get to listen to their softer live videos of acoustic versions of Smile and About Us. They really how off Saiki beautiful and vocal range.
Thank you so much! And I’m glad you like the reaction!
The Live Version of their song called "Real Existence" is good live..its on there UA-cam channel
Gotta recommend “Wonderland” it is full of varied influence and stand alone spectacular! Saiki owns this style as well!
You're reactions are awesome 👌
i'vebeen listening to Band Maid since 2015. where has everybody been?
While it sounds like a good idea those pairings you suggest will not happen for more reasons than l can count.

In 2019 BABYMETAL and BANDMAID both signed with Live Nation. I think I remember both for 1 year. I hope BANDMAID doesn't use them again. Live Nation didn't do them justice. BABYMETAL did 20 cities. BANDMAID did 3. Same as the year before. In Chicago, BABYMETAL played for 5,000 at the Aregon Ballroom. That venue sells itself. They could sell 2,000 tickets to 2 garage bands. BANDMAID could have played there. I actually suspect that Live Nation kept BANDMAID from competing with BABYMETAL that year. Live Nation is unscrupulous.

It amounted to a horrible runny nose but never got into my lungs. The people here getting hospitalized are the unvaccinated. With a half a million exposed per day here and the vaccination rate at 69% the officials say there will be no one left to get sick. ie herd immunity. Where countries have low vaccination rates herd immunity will take much longer. This is why my confidence is high. I truly hope they come your way asap. Have a prosperous new year.
@@jefffromchicago6321 Use them? They are under contract to Live Nation. Under Passport for any and all non Live Nation sanctioned events within Japan's national borders like the regretably cancelled show at the Temple of Sumo for instance. Miku doesn't sign bad contracts. Believe that. Regards.
@@sacluvsBM Thanks. I just don't like the way Live Nation bulldozed all the little guys to get a monopoly but I can see that's it's tough for an artist to work around them. Especially a foreign one without US connections. They are like one-stop shopping.
But do you think they did a good job for BANDMAID? I flew to Dallas to see the top quarter of them in a room of 250.
I paid for a ticket to Budokan. It was sad. I wish I had an actual ticket for a souvenir.
Great Band and Great Reaction. It's easy to see why they have the dedicated fan base that they do. World Class Writing,Musicianship,Performance and Execution. And then the Fun and Fan interactions are a bonus to their main course. Another stellar band you may enjoy, All Female from Japan is Aldious. ua-cam.com/video/7uyyc2OeQ3Y/v-deo.html.
They all are wearing Maid outfits. They're just different styles of maid outfits, not just the French maid style.
The drummers for LOVEBITES and BAND-MAID have hung out together a few times, but I don't know how much say Japanese bands have in who they tour with.
Excellent reaction! New sub !
Band-Maid played live two nights here in NYC back in Sep. 2019, I was supposed to go but ended up being out of town for a family emergency. Not going to miss them this time!
They are even better live 🙂
ONSET LIVE 😎
that is like the ultimate fantasy, but im afraid the audience would riot. to much to handle
In this music video Band-Maid wanted the audience to pay more attention to the music and not them ! That's why you don't see their faces as much !! They do have a large following in the US , on their last tour here they sold out all their shows !! "Real Existence" Live is one of their better songs !! Great Reaction =)
Saiki's outfits stay the same or quite a while. You can time frame a song by her dress. This shorter one is prior to 2020. 2020 to present she has the longer dress. If you watch Akane and if she has a little hat on you know it's prior to 2019. MISA went to the Full length dress in 2020 also and still wears it, but prior to it her dress too was shorter and she had the fancy print hose too. In fact MISA , Saiki and Kanami's outfits lengthened in 2020 and I noticed it when they released the "Domination" LIVE FEB 2020 Shibuya video, which is a great one to react to for a LIVE watch.
Miku, vocalist/rhythm guitar, sings almost as much as Saiki whether it’s a higher harmony or lower harmony. Their voices are such a wonderful match that sometimes you’d think it’s one voice before realizing it’s both of them. The only other Rock vocal duo that good for me was Alice In Chains’ Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell.💪🏻🤘🏻
Someone might told you that this song was used in a Netflix series named "KATE" already. Then you should check out the another song named " Chosse Me" next. It was also used in the same series too.
And both scenes was really cool that you have to check out next.
Привет лунатикам! С новым годом!) Советую их песню Onset
Обязательно посмотрю:)
Oh, we gonna have to fight a bit over the first in line spot 😛
The problem with Band-Maid sharing the stage in a two man is that they normally play two plus hours. And when it's over, you still want more. (Maybe not your body but your mind will). And if they only played one hour with another group -- although LoveBites would be awesome -- nothing less than two hours would be too short for either band. You'll love the single Band-Maid 24+ song performance, Anastasia -- 3 times!
I'm sorry, it's a long sentence.
Over the last 10 to 20 years, the number of young people enjoying rock and metal music has plummeted around the world.
However, I think that the number of people who love these music is increasing in Japan. (In particular, the power of women who are active in the world of rocks and metals is attracting attention.) What is the cause of the difference between what is happening in Europe and the United States and what is happening in Japan? .. I think ...
In Europe and America, rock and metal music may have created a closed world.
"Rock must be music like ****." "People who play metal should do it in a style like ****." As a result, tattoos, piercings, black Clothes, menacing voices, hysterical screams, aggressive performances, and intolerance to other genres of music have been established.
(These styles aren't bad, the problem is that they look like symbols that deny other free styles.)
I don't think modern young people like that kind of closed-style music.
In Japan, it is recognized that "rock and metal music is free music". In other words, rock and metal are perceived as the kind of music that you are free to enjoy your favorite sounds in your favorite style. (I think this is the origin of the original rock music ....)
Therefore, I think JAPAN ROCK is characterized by a generous style that wraps around POP, R & B, and even classical music.
It seems that Japanese bands such as WAGAKKIBAND / BABYMETAL / BAND-MAID / LOVEBITES / Unlucky-Morpheus / ONE-OK-ROCK are blowing such a wind.
A flame that broke out in Liverpool about 50 years ago ignited all over the world. Why did the flame occur? .. I think we need to think about the reason.
"From Japan" (This is a sentence using a translation app. I hope it conveys the intention correctly).
Yes they are so complete adding so much in each song.One can detect elements of grunge,metal,shoegaze,pop,and even raping as you noticed.Bandmaid will become legend in rock scene and in rock history.Hard to find in yearsso good stuff like this.And they are all excellent.All in one
(pssst... she's rapping dude... change it quickly please.....)
I believe it's not so much when people think Saiki is rapping but that she is singing in her native tongue and I would be hard pressed to see a foreign singer fit their language, syllables and accent to a fast rhythm that she's doing that you will see in many of they're songs all the time! Friendly thought...peace be with you.
You should review the japanese band Wagakki. They use modern and traditional Japanese instruments to create Metal / rock songs
Live? "Domination" or "Real Existence" live are both great. I'd avoid the fan-shot live stuff at first.
PLAY & ONSET LIVE!!!!
I love and share your enthusiasm for Band Maid (and Lovebites!) but a joint tour is very unlikely. It takes a year and enormous amounts of hassle for a foreign band to get the visas and other legal crap taken care of, so if a band does not already have a lot of that in process and dates set, 2022 is not realistic. The U.S. and China are by far the most difficult markets for foreign artists of all kinds, because of frankly protectionist rules and regulations. Most US promoters won't touch foreign bands because it's such a headache. This is one reason fans of foreign bands have largely depended on social media to spread the word. And channels like yours! Keep up the great work!
Good reaction..!!! congrats... I will like to request your opinion on Eskimo Callboy, any of the new songs are good to check and see how well they blend styles... You will not be disappointed...
the you should react to Band-Maid - Wonderland (Live) or Band-Maid - About us (Live) if you really like harmonics
Please change video title to “BAND-MAID- Blooming reaction” or something similar, instead of just “December 31, 2021”.
Great reaction nonetheless 👍
I knowwwwww I have no idea how I missed it😩
time for gacharic spin - mind set
Fun fact - the vocals are not pre-recorded. Band Maid really has *two* singers - Saiki is the main vocalist and Miku is the secondary vocalist (and rhythm guitarist at the same time). It is noted that Miku could take the lead if she wanted to, but she recognizes that Saiki's voice is better suited for most of Band Maid's songs. Both of them are really singing their parts to do the harmony during their videos and live performances.
I hope that little fun fact has enticed you into watching their live videos and performances. Do have a go at reacting to some of their official live videos.
Great reaction again. I highly recommend checking out Domination or Real Existence live for more Band-Maid.
Or, if you want to discover more of what Japan is offering I highly recommend checking out PassCode. They're more of an idol band like Babymetal, but use more EDM and metalcore. Their songs are an adventure. This is their new single 'Freely' - ua-cam.com/video/5So0weQzo5I/v-deo.html
