Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?!
The time signature goes to 5/4 time for a few bars, then back to 4/4. I think they also add a beat in a different part of the song. (They do that a lot just to mess with you and I love that kind of stuff)
One of the very few songs that isn't in 4/4, but 5/4 as you say. Akane's drum rhythms can often be misheard, especially when she changes tempo frequently, uses polyrhythms or syncopation (she can do all that in a few bars!) but they're all in 4/4 when you have a good listen.
Band-Maid has several excellent instrumental songs if you haven't already done them. "Without Holding Back", "From Now On", "Giovanni", and "Don't be Long" are great examples! These songs are put in to give Saiki a vocal break. EVH smiles everytime "Onset" is played!
They became a legend, after I heard this song (and the "Manners"). This is a great example of "perfect" songwriting. Kanami, who is tapping that Paul Reed Smith, is defined as a genius.
Keep it going with band maid! Imo opinion, domination(live) choose me are obligatory to say you have listened to band maid, so those i would recommend next!
Yup. 5/4. Rush fans quickly recognize things like that. It’s actually quite rare. I’m not sure of Kanami writing anything else in 5/4? From here? Throw a dart 🎯 Pick something from the Just Bring It album. Chock full of great music
Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are FIRE!!!!! What's truly insane is that they played with very little lighting, if at all, smoke, strobing lights and lasers. But then again, it's Band-Maid. They probably could have played just as easily blindfolded. Looking forward to your next reaction video. Cheers!
They could easily go toe to toe with the great 70's fusion bands. In all of their instrumentals, they just cut loose and really show what they can do. Thanks for checking this out.
Loved watching your reactions Master R&RR. Seeing the pure joy on your face as the song moved along is why I love watching reactors. To see others appreciate and thoroughly enjoying what they are hearing for the first time, make me flash back to listening to these songs for the first time and imagining my facial expressions were probably the same. PO!🕊 WORLD DOMINATION!!!🤘😆🤘 As others have mentioned....sneaky, sneaky...throwing in a 5/4 here and there....😂
The secondary guitar line you hear is actually a backing track, also played and recorded bij Kanami. For the longest time I thought Miku was playing that, until someone with a better ear pointed out that Miku is playing something else entirely on her rythm guitar.
A Rock and Roll flogging! They are like a great sports team. Anyone of them is capable of carrying the team, making a great pass to a teammate or taking the winning shot!
Great reaction and their instrumentals are very good. These are a couple of others that are just as good or better: "From now on" (my favorite - it has an official video), "Without holding back", "Don't be long", "Hand Wash" (a PSA on washing you hands correctly that they put out during the pandemic), and one other that I can't recall right now.

MISA tucks her pick to slap in this song and I became a Maidiac.
Now for "From Now On" another bangin' instrumental by the maids.

Yeah, she sometimes goes all patternless on you!

She credited him for that when he died.

This will be your favorite until you hear From Now On!
Welcome to the immense talent displayed by Band-Maid in "Onset" They are a musical phenomenon!!!!!!
Yup. 5/4. Rush fans quickly recognize things like that. It’s actually quite rare. I’m not sure of Kanami writing anything else in 5/4?

Anyone who knows anything about time signatures quickly recognises it…..it’s not a “Rush fan” thing
Best rock band on the planet. Listen to WTHOUT HOLDING BACK and FROM NOW ON for a couple more wild instrumentals.
Hehe. This is actually from 2018, so 5-1/2 years ago, approximately 5 years into the band.

I'm a princess.
I'm a Master
This was the first song I had ever heard by Band-Maid. It was my introduction to the wonderful world of Jrock and Jmetal.
The secondary guitar line you hear is actually a backing track, also played and recorded bij Kanami. For the longest time I thought Miku was playing that, until someone with a better ear pointed out that Miku is playing something else entirely on her rythm guitar.
I thought I was the only one who didn't see anyone playing that part. I hear it when Kanami is playing the tapping part.
A Rock and Roll flogging!

I believe it's 5/4 time signature.
7/4 is added in the second time.😮
It's in 4/4 mostly, but that one (or 2) sections go into 5/4 for for a few measures.
Great reaction but your last comment was not correct. You do not have to give up Band-Maid to live to 100 years old.
