    The band was founded in 2013 by Miku, rhythm guitar and vocals. She worked in a maid café and came up with the idea of playing hard rock music while wearing maid clothes. “An impossibly hard rock rocking maid band.”
    Other members:
    Saiki-lead vocals. Ice Queen
    Akane-drums. Gorilla
    Misa-bass, the Barefoot Assassin
    Kanami-lead guitar, songwriter. Mincho

    Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.
    Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

    Kanami, the songwriter, has a classical piano background, and you can tell she uses that experience in her songwriting. She really understands how to use music to tell a story and evoke emotions.
    Regarding the "uniforms," they've taken to calling the costumes their "battle gear." They all take on a different mindset and personality when they're on stage. Like, Kanami and (lead singer) Saiki are very shy in their personal life, but are decided NOT shy on stage.
    For a counter-point to this one, try watching HATE? live.

    It's so rare for a first reaction to Band-Maid to be one of their instrumental songs. But they are amazing whether it's instrumental or they're singing. Their lead singer is amazing.
    When people try to compare them with others or figure out what genre it is, the answer is Band-Maid. They are their own genre. But to be fair, there's a lot of 80s and 90s rock in their sound.

    Pretty much anything on their official channel is going to be good. They only have one other instrumental on there, a live performance of "Onset".
    There are several songs that are slower and more mellow, including "Bestie" (MV) co-written with Mike Einziger of Incubus, "Memorable" (MV) a love letter to their fans, "About Us" (online live show), also a love letter to the fans, and "Endless Story", which has a lovely MV shot on a volcanic island but there is also a great live version which was the grand finale of their 10th Anniversary Tour - watch with the CC on. Also there are two videos from the online acoustic show they put out on Christmas day 2021, very stripped down and relaxed version of "Catharsis" and "Sayonakidori". That last one features a lead vocal from Band Founder/2nd guitar/2nd vocals Miku Kobato. Bestie, Catharsis and Sayonakidori all feature the band members NOT wearing their standard maid outfits (shock horror!)

When you listen to the song (that does have lyrics) make sure you turn on the closedc-aptioned lyrics. There is a battle during the song (between the bass and the lead guitar). You will LOVE IT!!!!!

    They have a bunch of "singer takes a leak" instrumentals, all great. This was actually composed as a first number for support gigs and festivals for people expecting a girly idol band and totally do their heads in and have them running into the hall.

    Well, you have started the Japanese journey with the best band in the world. You can pick any song of theirs, and eventually you will hear their amazing vocalist. I am 55 and 90% of what I listen to are Japanese bands. Bands like Bridear, Nemophila,TRiDENT,Asterism, WagakkiBand, Divibe and Glim Spanky all very unique sounds, and some use a bit of English. This is a very short list. Would also recommend checking out Rolling Quartz from Korea and The Warning from Mexico.

    03:13 ; What she says is exactly right. Miku (rhythm guitar this time) worked in maid cafe but dreamed of the spotlights. She convinced the entertainment agency she had signed with to let her put a band together. With frilly maid outfits and killer rock music.
    I will leave the rest of their story as an exercise for you new students. AKA the Gap.
    edit: Thanks for your attention. Now I'm off to listen to more Band-Maid; Arcadia Girl, Choose Me, Daydreaming, their cover of Honey,....

    Band maid is mainly hard rock as this song is, though do have groove and even into metal for some songs. They have well over 100 songs, about 7 or 8 of them are instrumentals all like this, they use these during concerts to give their lead singer a break in the middle of their typical 22 song concerts. The lead singer was not in the video, there are 5 members with her. Everything they do is like this, extreme musical talent, the lead guitarist write all of the music, the rhythm guitarist is the band founder and writes the lyrics. The awesome thing with this band is they play as well as you saw, live I have seen it myself a couple of times when they have toured the USA. That base player Misa is unreal, this song didnt really showcase her skill with tucking that pick to instant switch between picking and slapping. Suggest Domination live, the live double video of Manners and Black hole, Blooming, Influencer but really any song you choose will be great but Live is always the best option because it is rare to have a band that can play live likethey do.

  • @hiawatha.g
    @hiawatha.g 22 дні тому +2

    You have opened the floodgates. They may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative band since the Beatles, and they are top-tier musicians.
    I saw many of the classic rock bands - Purple, Zeppelin, Queen, Santana, many more, all in their heyday. I’ve seen Band-maid three times and their performances stand up to any of those legendary bands.
    You are going to get a lot of suggestions. First, a little background on the band:
    Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994
    MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992
    Kanami Tono - Lead guitar, Main composer and arranger Born Sept 28, 1991
    Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991
    Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990
    Miku was working in a Maid Café after being in an idol group that didn’t break through. She envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, after finding a Kanami guitar cover on line; Kanami then recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Akane and MISA had been students together at the Tokyo Music Academy. The group decided they needed more vocal “oomph”, and collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar when they started, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that she is really adding to the music mix, and Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual shred.
    The band was struggling early on, and in 2014, even as the label was considering dropping them, they posted the music video for “Thrill” which went viral globally. When they realized what was going on, it gave them the momentum to forge ahead, and they have now done multiple tours of Europe and the U.S. and are building a global fanbase who call themselves the Maidiacs.
    They have released seven full albums, as well as several EPs, singles and music videos. They have put out around 170 songs, covering a wide variety of styles and sounds, without any duds. They combine a punk vibe with instrumental virtuosity (two things that are often seen as being incompatible), and have done some amazing progressive-rock songs and ballads with a metal edge to them.
    They toured the U.S. in 2022 and sold out 14 cities in less than 48 hours. They followed it up with a 2023 tour which had to be expanded from their original plans. Their fan base skews heavily to actual practicing musicians. Some of those followed the band to multiple dates and documented everything on youtube-some of the footage is hilarious.
    I’ve seen them in 2019, 2022 and 2023. Their shows are truly life-reaffirming. So far no announcements of another European tour but it seems likely in 2024.
    Band-Maid are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio. Everything they have posted from their 10thAnniversary concert in Yokohama is absolute fire-I have bought the DVD and recommend you do too. 33 songs, 3 hours of insanity. The best clip on YT from that concert is “Hate?” ua-cam.com/video/yfORoQIqB3E/v-deo.html
    Here are more links, to older performances:
    Freedom (Feb 14 2020) ua-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/v-deo.html
    Domination (Feb 14 2020) ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html
    Choose Me (Feb 14 2020) ua-cam.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/v-deo.html
    Onset (Instrumental-insane!) ua-cam.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/v-deo.html
    And an official MV, one of their most popular: Daydreaming (it’s a slower ballad, gorgeous and truly heart-wrenching): ua-cam.com/video/RCaeUkrItyY/v-deo.html
    If you want more background, I suggest you react to this classic interview. It's hilarious, it's insightful, you will learn their names for good, and their cuteness will destroy your brain. Oh, and they are completely nuts. ua-cam.com/video/R4PofsQYwn4/v-deo.html

    I used to think Band-Maid was the best rock band going. But I've changed my mind. They're the best rock band ever.
    When I think of all the bands I once thought were the best ever -- the Who, Rolling Stones, Allman Bros., Led Zeppelin, Springsteen and the E Street Band, the Clash (I've been around a while), Band-Maid is greater than them all. For the longest time it was the Clash for me, all through 80s metal, 90s grunge, the 00s desert, the Clash stood out to me for their inventiveness and confidence to create whatever their talents could give. But Band-Maid is unmatched in musical talent, inventiveness, composition, and an often overlooked quality, courage. The result is the best rock band ever.

    One of the best metal bands that is getting hugely popular is the Ukrainian band Jinjer. I feel like the live session video for “Pisces” is responsible for converting more people into Metal Heads than any other song in history, myself included.
