    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 are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.

    I suggest you now go to their latest serving 'Hate' live from Yokohama Arena. Then work your way through their back catalogue of about 130 videos. You will be amazed at every one of them.

    This band is amazing, unique, and has an incredibly diverse sound. Well worth your time to delve into. They are my favorite band that I've discovered in the past few decades - yeah I love their sound that much. Their musicianship is world class, and their songwriter is probably a musical genius. I'd recommend Daydreaming next, unless you're a metalhead in which case I'd recommend From Now On or Shambles. Pretty much everything by them is amazing tho. Have fun!

    Welcome, Travis. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 190 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:

    BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
    Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
    Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ua-cam.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/v-deo.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
    But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ua-cam.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/v-deo.html)
    And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. ua-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
    Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
     ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” ua-cam.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/v-deo.html
     Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html
     ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” ua-cam.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/v-deo.html
     Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.
     “P and D⁴” Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinDakaPanic810
    And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:
     Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: ua-cam.com/video/DgxU-MVjta0/v-deo.html
     See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: ua-cam.com/video/vjZkNeoGmhc/v-deo.html
    If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
    Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

    Band-Maid Members:
    Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
    Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
    Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
    Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
    MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
    Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.
    [BAND-MAID NEWS]
     BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo
     The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! In addition, their Japan tour finished up with 13 concerts, AND they’re writing and recording for their new album. Their 10th Anniversary Tour concluded at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26, 2023 and in Hong Kong Dec. 21! And their latest 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF concert at KT ZEPP YOKOHAMA on February 22, 2024, where they played songs not performed at the 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama Arena, was SOLD OUT!
    The Maids are one of the hardest working super groups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!

  • @atlasisshrugging
    @atlasisshrugging 5 місяців тому +6

    My interpretation of the lyrics is that there is a guy who is in a relationship with a woman, but he isn't fully committed.
    He's playing stupid games with her emotions and she's telling him to be serious.
    He's trying to get her to behave like some sort of fantasy girl (submitting to his unserious attitude), but she's free-spirited and knows what she wants.
    She is telling this guy that if has any feelings for her at all, he shouldn't hide anything from her; she wants his attention and his love, but that she is growing impatient with how indecisive he is.
    She is saying that she chooses to be with him, but she's not going to wait forever for HIM to make the same choice.

    Band Maid self describes as a hard rock band, and does every shade of rock there is. Their early stuff tends to be pop/punk/hard rock. Newer stuff gets very hard and progressive. A good sample of their range is the 2 in 1 video of Manners, and Black Hole. Also they are a live band. When in doubt, choose the live versions.

    • @TwistedGunZ
      @TwistedGunZ  5 місяців тому +1

      I will admit I very rarely ever listen to live versions of songs but based off comments on here and other videos, Seems I need to start doing them more. I will admit, the crowd does add a certain level of intensity and energy for sure! I guess it's just from watching rock bands doing live songs. They never sounded as good live imo but Japanese bands don't seem to struggle as much from my experience there LOL.

But Band Maid live performances sound as good as their studio versions, if not better. The official live videos are very well produced and sound excellent most of the time.

    Welcome to band maid! The hardest rocking maids on the planet.
    You'll find most of their lyrics are very poetic and can be taken a lot of ways, that's because the main writer of the lyrics (Miku, rhythm guitar) tends to be very poetic. I think they shouldn't be taken literally, and are more of a vibe kind of deal? More recently Saiki has written some of the lyrics and she is far more blunt. If you want an example of that listen to their latest live video "Hate?" it's got subtitles and they're very good.
    If you want to get more into them, if you have a preference of style, they have lots of options.
    Harder/more metal: Shambles, Hate?, Rinne
    More classic rock: Thrill, Domination, Dice
    Ballad/softer: Daydreaming, wonderland, Memorable

I do gravitate towards the heavier stuff so maybe "Hate" will be the next one i check out!

    It's tough to do a lyrical breakdown on a song that is translated from Japanese. For instance "oborete to me" translates to "drowning (in) me", and is captioned as "become my prisoner", which is close in meaning, but not quite. Same for "oborete neh", in which Saiki is confirming that you are indeed drowning in her and that resistance is futile. :)

    Are BAND-MAID's lyrics about relationships between men and women, or about the relationship between rock fans and musicians?
    Miku Kobato sometimes writes philosophical lyrics.
    By the way, the name Kobato means small pigeon. po is the Japanese word for the sound of a pigeon.
    She is the band's founder, rhythm guitarist, and main lyricist. In her opinion, BAND-MAID is a miracle. I think so too.

So far you've missed their best, though, which is always LIVE. Did I mention live? Best work: Manners with Black Hole (live), Domination (live), Hate (live), Play (live), Freedom (live), and Daydreaming. They have about 100 songs, all great. The non-live material kind of misses the point of this band, though, which is indicative of all Japanese bands.

    Now about the song. There are at last count I think 6 different versions of this song. The Ladies of Band-Maid have many songs that they have put together alternate versions of, for touring or special performances. Sometimes they are acoustic, sometimes semi-acoustic, sometimes they incorporate acapella elements, they recently had a piano only version of this song, during their performance at the Yokohama Arena. Taking all the alternate versions of their songs, the Ladies have almost 200 songs in their discography.
    And Choose Me is a sort of "Adult Relationship" co-dependent love song. And yes the raunch is there. She is demanding he submits like she is submitting to him. It's all or nothing, either the guy is totally hers so she can be totally his, or they need to go their own ways. Mutual partnership or dissolution. It's a demand for a total commitment.

    The chorus she's telling him to look at her lips, pressumably in love/lust, while she's playing him and sees her lips as lying to, mocking, him in his ardour for her.

    I don’t think the situation is unusual - she wants him, but he won’t commit. So she’s saying, I’m ready to get serious, but you need to make up your mind because I won’t wait around forever.

    Opps, no more new favorite bands for you. You have found the ultimate in rock bands.
    I know you don’t believe that, but it will take 3, maybe 4 more songs before you will be forced to admit the truth of ‘Maidiac’mania.

    I took it to mean that she knows life is too short for a guy that is only kind of into her, she wants him to show her he's committed to her or he's done. If you want to know what happens if you disappoint her, check out the video/lyrics for HATE?

      I think "Stare at those lips you're misled by" did give me the insinuation that another woman could've been apart of it. It's a challenge fully understanding the song from the first read but it's fun reading others interpretations lol.

      I think iv heard something about that myself. Of course its only what you see from other youtubers that interview people. The dating scene is definitely different from where I am in America. The cultural differences are so interesting.
