According to Saiki, who wrote the lyrics - she was reading about the history of story telling and songs, and learned how cultures in the past banned and made them 'forbidden'. But now, we can find those, and read them, or play/sing them, and to her, it's like meeting that long lost artist, and learning about them, and giving them their due. (the shadow hand) And then the last part, is how she thinks about, even hundreds of years from now, someone may find a BM song, and hear it when they need it in their lives. And part of that story is how their fans help carry that forward. Musically, Kanami went through a close personal loss when she was writing, so she had philosophical thoughts about living, and existence. And then Saiki approached her with her ideas about forbidden tales, and they put them together, as it made sense to marry the ideas. It's a beautiful sentiment. Saiki is a awesome vocalist that has grown by leaps, and now she's turning into a master lyricist.
This album oozes with maturity. A band that’s already made multiple amazing albums infused with the exuberance of youth, the aggressiveness of talking the reins of their career in their own hands, or the anger, and angst, of living through the pandemic. Now, on the other side of all that, older and wiser, they are pondering the very meaning of existence in a way they could only do now. And it’s a very pertinent topic that many of us find ourselves thinking about as well with the state of the world as it is.
Magical songwriting and storytelling 🔥❤️ Kanami wrote this song after a loss someone close to her( grandmother?). She kept thinking ” What is life” etc..Saiki wrote powerful lyrics after this. Lovin’ this song 🔥❤️ One of few B-M songs without Kanami’s solo but at least for me..even noticed that, so tasty and emotional is this song ❤️ Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
New album Epic Narratives released on September 25th, with 14 songs. First half of album is already released as single or MV, and later half mostly consists of new songs.
The new album Epic Narratives dropped on September 25th. 14 songs, half of them already released as singles/MV's, the rest all new. Definitely gotta check out Brightest Star, with Miku on lead vocals.
The story unfolding here started even before we were born. Even though it feels far out of reach yet at this point, I can feel you by my side It's our story and nobody else's. Yet never stops spreading. Everybody (thinks they) knows, (but) nobody (really) knows Come on get over the moment, scream what's in your mind You're already at your limit. Let it rumble, Let me hear your voice The spring day when we met the sky filled with starlight Like the days when you were here, I can feel you in the sky [The jazzy part is like some abstract images drawn to fit the feel of the sound] Do you think you can flourish or gain anything by dismissing us? Watch out and witness where we get. Sing this aloud for hundreds of years - Japanese can sing this chorus part at least All that I want Our existence, The proof All that you want Shining moments All what we have Life, illusion And we are all guided towards destined future. You, I and We are interchangeable imo. A story about you and me, fans and the band. The song feels epic yet personal and emotional to me.
The songs already released earlier in the year are just Band-Maid awesomesauce! The six new songs are so tightly integrated and complex, it's going to take a Tokyo minute to assimilate. But I already love Forbidden Tale, and especially The One. 😉🤘 btw - We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! Will they managing other bands, boost Cluppo and Maiko projects, or tour more internationally? Or maybe they will expand their business interest to other sectors of the music biz outside of Band-Maid. I believe Kanami wants to get more into composing, scoring and production. And as for Miku and Saiki, the sky's the limit for what they'll want to do in merch, fashion and art, etc.. Thx, Shredder!
A song that can be perceived in many ways. But about memories of someone that has moved on. Everybody knows, Nobody knows. Still with us and the memory is forever there. Even alone in the dark. But whatever the song is to you personally. It is a little masterpiece.
You shouldn't have to worry about copyright strikes with BAND-MAID. The only time that ever happened was when they were preforming with The Warning and a roadie took unapproved video, which one of The Warning's.

Best description of the meaning behind the lyrics I've yet seen. Well done.
This album oozes with maturity. A band that’s already made multiple amazing albums infused with the exuberance of youth, the aggressiveness of talking the reins of their career in their own hands, or the anger, and angst, of living through the pandemic.
Now, on the other side of all that, older and wiser, they are pondering the very meaning of existence in a way they could only do now. And it’s a very pertinent topic that many of us find ourselves thinking about as well with the state of the world as it is.
The Maids are in a league of their own, the band of my 65 years of life, cheers Po 👍🍻

It's our story and nobody else's.
Yet never stops spreading.
Everybody (thinks they) knows, (but) nobody (really) knows
Come on get over the moment, scream what's in your mind
You're already at your limit.
Let it rumble,
Let me hear your voice
The spring day when we met the sky filled with starlight
Like the days when you were here, I can feel you in the sky
[The jazzy part is like some abstract images drawn to fit the feel of the sound]
Do you think you can flourish or gain anything by dismissing us?
Watch out and witness where we get.
Sing this aloud for hundreds of years
- Japanese can sing this chorus part at least
All that I want
Our existence, The proof
All that you want
Shining moments
All what we have
Life, illusion
And we are all guided towards destined future.
You, I and We are interchangeable imo.
A story about you and me, fans and the band.

Glad you’re enjoying the Maids. This is from their latest album which dropped a couple of weeks ago.
Never think you know where a Band-Maid song is going to go next. They are the Mistresses of Deception. Just enjoy the ride!
Memorable and About Us are full ballads.
I think you should check out Toi et Moi from the new album.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Shredder this is a new album it dropped Sept 25th , checkout the one
Appreciate the heads up!

I still do get flagged all the time by them though. Which is why i put the watermark on this one
If you want a real ballad try Page. No mv.
A Ren song?
Ren's 'Money Game part 2' ...covered here by Sreddie Ren Halen 🤣
Yes sir, im shocked someone knew!!
