"HATE". So awesome it's the greatest Mincho & MISA lead/bass conversation since "Don't You Tell Me" at Zepp, Tokyo, 2018 :)
Indeed! Luckily, the Zepp show recording wasn't directed by a drunk cyclops wearing an eye patch.
I've never seen anything as badly directed as the Lallapalooza show. Not sure I've seen a fan cam as bad as that.
Hopefully, the Offset Era boys pick up on your hint about what to react to next. 🤞
@@TehPhysics Lol. I already suggested it a while ago but they said they didn't want to react to anything from third party sites in case they got a strike. You know the site.😉
More people need to see and hear this ...
This power Shit is for me like a. Drug! I must Lissen it, every evening, sometimes for Five Times!😂😢😂😅😮i
From Japan
I saw them last night in Hiroshima to a sold-out venue with 800 people. Dice to Hate was one of last night's best moments. Kanami, the lead guitarist, was awakened and dominated the venue at full throttle. Everything shines in the 2 hour 20-minute 23 song live performance.
I think they're already working on enough songs to make an album. Two new songs have already been performed at live performances since September. The new album may be released before their Yokohama Arena concert to celebrate their 10th anniversary. I'm hoping for that.
I was there too☝️
It was a great performance❤
It was miraculous to see Mincho drink beer😄
I was there too. Kanami just went nuts. it was so awesome!
Thanks for going off-piste for this one. I know people can get carried away talking about this band, so I try to stay level-headed, but I've got to admit I got emotional the first time I heard that duel. And the second, and the third.... I didn't even care about the issues with the mix and the camera work.
Part of it is that they were the first Japanese band at Lollapalooza since X-Japan, and there was an expectation that they'd lean in to their pop-rock side, so seeing them add guitar and bass features was the best kind of shock. They also added a duel to Don't You Tell Me, reprising a favourite moment from an old tour.
I think the cameraman (Hulu?) had no idea who does what in the band. In "Dice" when Kanami steps to the front to solo, the camera kept following Kobato. And nice to look at that Kobato ever is, that wasn't quite the point of what was going on. In the same way in "Hate" when MISA was first popping off, he stuck to every other member in the band, possibly expecting something. To be generous, the feller is probably an experienced cameraman who has recorded a shedload of US bands and based his expectations on experience - how was he to know Band-Maid keeps faking everyone out by defying expectations? The camera work did improve in the sense that he seems to have realized his mistakes quickly - he started keeping up with Kanami's solos, and MISA did get featured.
Director. They had multiple cameras and it would be the director who selected which view to use at given moment. Pretty clear they weren't familiar with the band because there were issues focusing on the proper instrumentalist throughout most of the performance.
They sucked every time it wasn't some dj jumping up and down playing songs off their ipod/zoon lol
I'm a big fan of Akane and Pau from The Warning (I like kick ass drummers), Pau for her bouncy bad ass energy and Akane for her technical skill (her double kick drumming is insane) and huge smile as she is playing. In my opinion Akane and Misa are Band-Maid's secret weapon, a solid rhythm section is the heart of a band.
you might already know, but check out Junna and her former band Trident (Trident's new dummer is dynamite too but i'm blanking on her name)
And that's another band to add to the playlist. First time hearing them.
You're in for a real treat.
awesome enjoy that ride theyre amazing
Cool, you'll need their channel then, if you haven't already found it - www.youtube.com/@BANDMAID/featured
i would suggest not checking them out yet, but rather wait till Friday evening, when you've some cold (or hot depending on preference) beverages, and plenty of snacks handy. Oh, and have a "pit stop", because you may suddenly be wondering why the sun's come up and you're still watching their videos. BTW, live is usually best, but not always.
The best fancam audio was done by anterra77 with a shure microphone at Anaheim House of Blues of Dice/Hate.
I was able to see them twice this year. The first time in Detroit and then again 2 days later at Sonic Temple in Columbus. They are easily the best live band I have ever seen. Their concerts are like their music. Once exposed to one then you just want more!
I saw them in Detroit too! What a great show! I saw them before that in NYC in October before that. Best live band working today.
This concert was towards the beginning of August. I saw them in Spokane (8/12/23). The North American portion of their 10th Anniversary ended in Mexico City about a week later. These songs are awesome live.
All the folks with 'LOVE" and "HATE" tattoed on their knuckles...your time is now...your Ice Queen Saiki takes her throne ❤👊🤘🤘🤘
Haha.😂 That's funny :)
Yes, Kanami does do some background in Dice
Hate?のソロ終わりにミクがjoinしてきてかなみとギタースウィングがシンクロするとこが好き😊 zztopみたい。
Band Maid is the best band !!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm going to gloat about being there. I thought the bass drum was going to knock my hat off.
Akane makes me smile every time. Best drummer since Rush
So, just within the past 12 months, I got to see the Maids 3 times. October 14th in SF, January 9th at TGT, and August 14th in Sacramento.
In Sac, when they played About Us (and the song after) the audience broke out these mini glow sticks that someone had passed out earlier. It was a really cool moment. Band Maid concerts usually don’t have this, but it’s very common at the super popular shows.
The hell with the newfangled glow sticks 🙂, I went old- school and held my lighter high in the air during Memorable at the Charlotte show. Miku saw me and smiled. I’m sure she remembers.
Awesome reaction as always.
That was an instant classic performance. These ladies are unbeatable on the stage.
Epic! One for the ages.
Great reaction as usual guys. Akane's drums always sound pretty loud because she uses red with a band- Tama Star Classic Bubinga shells- which are naturally loud. Her snare is usually a Silver Ludwig or similar. And yes, this mix is a bit mushy, which make the vocal complexities of Hate? a little indistinct, but worth it for the guitar/bass dual. Footage showing Miku has been good during recent tours and shows her looking as though she has been playing the guitar for 30 years and not just the nine- from 2014. Try and listen to the Unleash EP for the studio version of Hate.
Love it, watched this so many times, just fantastic. Pretty clear to me - I hate you, I hate you etc..
🤘🎀🤘This is true live. Ready.
This is unedited live, taken directly from the hulu live broadcast of the festival, there is no post production changes or anything, what you hear is what was played and heard by people there
The cameraman and director had no idea what was going on. I can't blame them really.
Their job is to properly film the band that is performing. I can definitely blame them for doing it poorly. Showing the wrong band members while solos are happening is unforgivable; even just cutting to a frontal angle showing the entire band is better than what was often happening here.
This was 15 or so hours after they played the Lolla Aftershow show at 1130ish the night before. Here, it's around 2p, starting with a small crowd, ending with new fans. I think they were still riding on the adrenaline from the night before. By far, a legacy performance for Band Maid, Po! 🦍🍌
THIS is what I have been waiting for, this,was their moment in the sun. An historic gig for the girls. Lucky audience. Band Maid showing the world.... this is how its done, with fun. forget about quality of audio and camera edits, this was a breathtaking performance !
They were so excited about this.
Bucket list item for them.
There is no video for "Hate", but then again, the best B-M songs never has. I can recommend any song from "Unseen World" or "Unleash" that has not video. They are all just the next level. (BTW, like your band's sound)
Band Maid need to be headliners next Lollapalooza.
Great reaction as always my friends!
I see so many requests for this performance, but I don’t get it. The camera work sucks. The sound is lopsided. This is not a good capture of Maid magic. I’ve seen dozens of fan cams better.
I’m still whining from my Florida recliner for Offset Era to do “Onset,” official live video.
I was lucky enough to see Band Maid this past May in Charlotte, NC. Small venue holding about 700; I was about six feet from Kanami and had the time of my life.
I always describe it as if seeing early Led Zeppelin in a coffee shop. They absolutely overwhelmed the venue with power and charisma.
Next time they come around, maybe we’ll make an RV road trip of it? 🤘🏽
The camera work about 100 times less hectic than the Dice MV 😁 Sounds good on my headphones but I do say official lives are better until you know the songs...then you'll really appreciate raw lives and fancams.
I got to see the debut of this arrangement the night before this show in Chicago and before the show I wouldn't have guessed Hate would be the highlight of the night, but they always manage to surprise. I suggest their song Moratorium Live at Zepp Tokyo. It's off the DVD and it's their best song IMHO.
There are some amazing live fancam videos posted in the last day of Hanabie out on tour.
Lots of people complain about the camera work, but to be fair, this was a live feed with only so many cameramen. They don't do the extended call and response on the studio version. The director was probably screaming at the left cameraman to get on the bass. But it's not so quick with a 60 lb set up.
Most of the lyrics are written by Miku (Red Rose(. But HATE? lyrics were written by Saiki (blue rose) and she sings it with real passion. Written about the experiences of a friend during Covid and them being let down by a partner.
Band Maid Kill it again.
Serial Killers...it never gets old 👊❤🤘🤘🤘
Kill it, cook it, serve it & we lap it up :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Kill it...and Gorilla it 😉
@@philproffitt8363 Lmao.😆 Wish i'd thought of saying that :)
You could listen to the studio version on their UA-cam channel from the "Unleash" EP. Better sound but no MISA/Kanami battle. They added that for the tour. There's a compilation video from Ohrenje out there that is awesome. The pro is that you get to see everything the cameras (Hulu cameras, not BAND-MAID cameras) missed at Lolla. The con is he used the Lolla audio that you guys just spent the entire reaction complaining about.
Ohrenje video: ua-cam.com/video/JgVXeMVYUhI/v-deo.html
Studio: ua-cam.com/video/OJnKhVPDe4Q/v-deo.html
Would definitely suggest checking out the studio version of Hate? if you can. There's a lot more to hear. There might be some fan cams of it from the recent touring, but a lot of them don't have very good sound quality. No official live for it even thought it is become one of the songs they seem to play at every show now.
Seeing the Maids live and up close in a small, intimate club is a "Thrill" of a lifetime. One should consider themselves lucky to experience them like this because it's becoming rare. And as for sound... it'll be the best hard rockin' sound you can imagine -- clear, discreet, powerful and full of energy and joyful vibes! (And no compression!! ;-) Just ask anyone who's experienced them live. In fact, we've been getting an earful of "wow's" and "that was incredible" from all the reactors and commenters from their successful 2022 & 2023 Band-Maid USA Tours. Rock on, Chris & Sam!
Did someone say "No compression"?😏 B-M didn't play The Dragon Cries at the Islington assembly hall (cos it hadn't been released🤭) but they did play one of their most awesome set lists & my fave song. And an intro to "Play" that's different from all the other "Play's" they play :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 The setlist at Yokohama is going to be awesome. Wish I could be there 'cause fanvids are forbidden. 😩 But maybe there'll be a DVD/BD drop afterward. 🥹
@@TomClark-Futoura Tom they'll definitely have a pro shot camera crew there & it will be a DVD/Blu ray. After hearing how well tickets are selling already i'm confident they'll sell out all 17,000 seats.
Other predictions i'll make are, it'll be their longest ever Okyuji with the most showcase song moments & their biggest set list. And also for the first time ever they'll do an encore to round off an amazing "Decade of the Maid" 10th anniversary year.😁
@@GaryHolloway-810 What a great prediction, Gary. I'll tell Saiki tomorrow!🤙
@@TomClark-Futoura Thx Tom & i'll ask Kanami to do her swooping airplane run & little swingy arms dance during Miku's Omajinai time :)
"If you have hate in your heart, let it out"
The Monsters!!!!!
Their performance at Lollapalooza was amazing❗️😆😆😆
Finallyyyyyyyyyy❤
So cool I was able to see you guys perform in person last week. I think a really cool band you would enjoy reacting too would be "Ice Nine Kills"
Lives are usually best, but the mix and tones in the Dice MV is basically perfect. Kanami sounds like she’s playing a chainsaw when she slides in.
Totally agree. And MISA's Black Smoker also never sounded so good than on the "Dice" MV :)
This was not a Band-Maid camera crew or director, so we just have to be happy with what we got from Hulu. It's better than nothing. As far as the audio goes, the so-called "optimized audio" is a downgrade, IMO. The unaltered footage is out there in UA-cam land. It's mixed for a live festival performance, so it's not a perfect Blu-ray ready mix, but it's fine as it is.
I actually think the "optimized" audio version of this performance is worse than the original airing. It leveled everything out too much. In the original Kanami stood out more than I had ever heard before Live.
I thought the same
Misa and Kanami are having a conversation. Now in the following I might be mistaken as I'm not a musician. In most bands they have a lead singer and a lead guitarist. Lead meaning, to me, one who establishes and holds down the melody. In Band-Maid they have Misa doing, at times, a lead bass. This conversation is, in my view, their two leads talking back and forth about/in a melody before returning to the already established main melody as Saiki returns.
Which is why Miku is so indispensable with their sound. She holds down the basics, which is anything but basic, to perfection so that Misa & Mincho can do all the lead work they want wherever and whenever they want to add it. I don't know of another band in recent or long term memory that does this. Saw them twice on the summer US tour and traveling to see the finale at Yokohama.
@@richardn8866Gacharic Spin is another band were the bass shines as the guitar.
@@raistlin906 F Chopper Koga & Tomo-Zo also have amazing chemistry. I wlll be seeing them in Tokyo on 11/18.
Camera man fall with Akane 😂
13:59 Akane drops her stick 😁
Like the previous leg of this tout they did not rent any backline heads. They brought solid state heads with them. Which is fine for bass, which is often Class D. But guitars need tube amps.
Dice mv was my 1st Band Maid song. I suggest you watch it. Hate is Akane's favorite song on this album.
My favorite bands are The Warning and Nemophila, I’ve watched some of Band Maid and these girls rock. What is up with the musicians in Japan WOW. Don’t forget about V.O.B.
I've recently watched a couple Warning vids. They're growing on me!
yeah the mix is bit shiit, innit this video was compressed to stream on hulu then compressed when OP uploaded to youtube then compressed again for you to hear. i would love to hear what was recorded in the booth at Lollapalooza. But nothing beats the fidelity of standing in the crowd at a Band-Maid show, standing 15 feet from Kanami's amp *chef's kiss * Beautiful.
This was filmed and recorded by HULU on day two of their Lollapalooza coverage. I blame them.🙂 This is not the way anyone who knows Band-Maid would have done the filming, but taken as a whole, the set was a really good representation of "Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things!"
What an awesome set it was.🤗
I bet this opened doors for them. This is the path to World Domination! Which is good, because I want a world where Miku is in charge of everything. (Chaotic/Good) -po 🙂
@@80mtn I would choose Miku as queen of England no problem....& i actually like her.🤣
🙂I'm picturing all the tik tok videos of the silly backstage antics at Buckingham Palace. She would bewilder Charles... Hahahaha
@@80mtn LOL.😆 She would trip over a corgi a smash Charles's soft boiled phoenix eggs :)

This show was recorded in Lollapalooza festival by HULU , i found it is UA-cam. But i think you can see it on the plateforme. I'm in France, WE had only Disney+ and the show is not avalable. This performance is Amazing , i downloaded , i ❤ to watch it more than one Time. The Maid was on fire. 🇯🇵🥁🎤🎸🇨🇵
The camera man like to look at Miku. And I do not blame him ... at all. OK - at last he understood that MISA was playing. Anyhow .... fun stuff!
I'm sure these cameramen or director don't even understand the difference between a guitar and a bass.
🎀🎀🎀🎀🎀
Check out the LIVE version of HATE from Boston 2022 look for Vladmir Chupins video version.
Unfortunately, I think this 'optimized audio' and the clip it is based on from the Netflix live stream is the best visual presentation of "HATE?" as there isn't an MV for the song. "HATE?" is the last track on the 'Unleash' EP and their is an 'album cover' video on the Band-Maid YT page. While the studio release is is good, it's the live performance that makes this song come alive. Whenever I play this in my car I always think about the Lollapalooza performance and how great it was.
Saiki wrote the lyrics to "HATE?" as Miku didn't feel like writing another dark song about a break up and that the music was too angry. Saiki basically said "I Got This!" and then wrote the lyrics where she cheerfully tells her boyfriend why he doesn't deserve to have her as a girlfriend and that he should go for a long walk off a short pier. Read a good translation and you'll see that Saiki's serio-comic narrative is well scripted.
Hate? jumped atfer this one my Top 30 BM Tracks 😂This one is better :ua-cam.com/video/JgVXeMVYUhI/v-deo.html Same Sound file but Edited with another GiG so you see what is going on much better.
This is not untypical for a TV feed mix so at least they got it GENERALLY right. As you guys know, outdoor gigs are tough anyways, because anything you sing vaporizes in front of your face immediately.
😁
Yes. This rhythm section is one of the best in the world. Anyway, it easily slips into the direction of jazz. Always holding back.
This is my feeling...
Would I be wrong? :)
Amazing " next VOB MASTER PUPPETS by METALICA live in SHINCRONIZE 2018 and tengs brother
What would be going through your mind if you were the band that followed these ladies on stage?
Yeah, either rookie director or cameramen and mixes for TV were sparse sounding. But the performance was stunning.
All of Lollapalooza was live streamed on HULU, including BAND-MAID’s hour long set. They were the first band on this stage on Friday. You can see the crowd growing as set progressed. They deserve to be invited back next year to play a nighttime set. It’s frustrating that the director knows nothing about BAND-MAID. We never even see MISA during the first half. I think maybe he never even filmed a real rock band before. It was an amazing set with great sound. Unfortunately, the only recording available is a fan bootleg. I think the sound on the original stream was even better, but overall it still sounds great. We are lucky to have this document; your complaints are unwarranted. HATE is the last track on the INLEASHED EP. The lyrics written by SAIKI. No official video; just the studio recording and fan-cams.
Some acoustic songs Kanami sings lead
I saw them 3 times on this tour and their mix is basically near perfect every time. I'm chalking this up to Hulu having no idea what the hell they're doing. Which is a damn shame because they cost us a bit of history f'ing this recording up. And don't even get me started on how clueless whoever this is directing the camera feeds.
Sadly the dueling guitars on Hate were only for live performances but the studio version isn't bad by any means. The more you watch this band the more you're confused on why haven't they crossed over into the main stream... I think they've earned it.
Yeah the video director in the production room was clearly drunk that day. I don't blame the cameramen, this is whomever is in charge for the questionable direction.
Can you say ROCK STARS !!!!
please react killing me inside reunion - tormented (live at synchronize fest 2019).
New subscriber here. Would love it if you reacted to one of my favorite bands SeptciFlesh - Prototype off the live album Infernus Sinfonica!!!
The director in charge of this must have been someone's cousin or something. Because, seriously! How hard is it to go "camera 1, stage left, focus on the bassist as she does her solo and stay on her!". Instead? "Focus on something else, and just ignore the big moments" The music is amazing, love the energy, the smiles. No fault in Band-Maid at all. But wow! That was terrible camera direction. They even panned away during Kanami's solo only to realize, oops, and then go back just as she's lifting her guitar for the finish. Why?! You had the shot! You just had to stay there and do nothing!
Ok. I vented. I'm good now. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
have you done any Burning Witches yet another band you havent done ???
It seemed like the cameras were trying to avoid focusing on the correct person.
It's a shame that the cameramen never show Misa, Akane, or Kanami in videos, other than super fast clips. They often show Miku even when it's obvious Kanami is playing, just because of her looks.
Saikis vocals are a touch lower in pitch than they should be..dunno if she just can't hear herself?
Everything sounded a lot better on the Hulu livestream.
@tedwatson1743 Yeah, by a half tone, and since she is always perfectly in tune it's obvious the audio was awful, and you can hear it.
Guys, the audio was so bad Saiki was a half tone flat, and it's not her fault, cause she has obviously a fantastic ear, singing in tune over the band's dissonances, i just can't understand why everyone want to ear that concert, since they have lots of amazing lives. That half tone is pure torture for my ears, and i love the Maids!
Saiki's vocal performance in the last half of the set wasn't good if I'm totally honest, which is very unusual. I've been to their concert at TGT and her voice was so powerful (more powerful than official video)
It maybe because they played at aftershow the night before, which ended in the midnight. They performed 18 songs and played every song super fast. You know how vocally demanding Band-Maid songs are already and Saiki had to rap and sing 15 songs at a lot faster speed than usual and by the end she sounded out of breath and exhausted, which was understandable. I can't imagine myself singing songs like glory, different and unleash at the speed they did 😯 (you can watch the full live footage on UA-cam).
Still, it was a great effort considering this was hour-long set.
There was one point half way through the lollapalooza set where Saiki said "the last", which confused me but I wonder if it was her mentality wishing it was a 30-minute set.
Imagine if Miku had to sing Sayonakidori on this set, it would've been a murder.
Gotta be honest, I wasn't a fan of Hate? on the Unleash EP. I basically wrote the track off as filler until I saw it live. If it wasn't intended to have a music festival vibe, then it fits so perfectly that the song doesn't really come to life outside of that context imo.
I have the expectation that every Band Maid song will sound better when done live. Band Maid is simply a great live band.
Hate? Filler? 😂🤣 Band Maid don't do fillers...
Yeah, the camera work was not good.
I think Misa was drunk
Nothing against Doc Loco, but I think the original audio, while certainly not perfect, was better.
Fun fact: they performed a full set the night before where they didn't come on until 11:45PM. I was there and it was only 30 bucks. ABSOLUTE STEAL and I was second row
⚠️Please react more⚠️Babymetal, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Crossfaith, Sokoninaru, Asterism, Versailes, Galneryus, Gacharic Spin, Ichika Nito, Tatsuya Amano, Shuhei Kamada, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence, Daisuke Kurosawa, Senri Kawaguchi
⚠️If possible react to their live performance ⚠️
I don't know what you guys are on about. You witness one of the best jam sessions of the century, and you keep griping about the mixing quality? Ridiculous.
