I call it "Classic BAND-MAID" 2016-19. But their evolution keeps me enthralled with EVERYTHING they do. Apparently their sense of music is my sense of music. Simple as that. NO OTHER BAND has done that to me in decades.
I'm not a lyrics person either, but I do think for this song it's really important to know what it's about. My blurb on Memorable - I think to fully appreciate this song, it helps to have been a maidiac for a while, and see, starting with the 2020 cancellation of what would have been the band's biggest show ever, how the diehard maidiacs, combined with the huge work ethic of the band, managed to keep their momentum up during a time where other bands would have had to just fold up the shop and call it quits. These ladies have worked their rear ends off not just to make incredible music, but to connect with their fans at every possible turn. Every other song has a sing along part - there's Miku's magic time in the shows, and even the fact that they didn't try to police reaction videos - in fact, they wisely welcomed them as they realized the value of spreading the word about the band. There is the uplifting, smile inducing and inspirational nature of their music and lyrics, which kept many of our spirits up during a really crap couple of years. Then there is their humility. More than once during interviews band members have said that they won't quite believe their shows sold out until they see us in person - will we really come, they wondered...and then they came. And they were hit by a massive tsunami of love at every single show. I am in my sixties and have been to a ton of concerts, and have never witnessed this level of back and forth emotion during a show. i've said elsewhere that when I put my earplugs in at their show, it was because of how loud the cheering from the crowd was, and I've never experienced that before. This must have been overwhelming to them as they played for us,. I've been on stage playing in front of people before, and there's a high you get when things go well that you just can't get with anything else. This song is their message back to us that yes, they felt it all - big time. And that they love us back
This song is about you Tony, and all the other fans who came out to see them on their US tour last October. How many other bands make a music video to show their love and appreciation for their fans?
I completely agree with your statement: "The amount of notes is just perfect. No one is overplaying, the groove is locked up, everything is here (gestures) and everyone understands their role perfectly." Sometimes I get pulled away by other obligations and come back to Band-Maid with fresh ears. I'm impressed again and again and again with how good they really are. This song was written during their October tour because they were extremely gratified by how they were received by the American audiences.
*BAND-MAID* wrote this song while on their 2022 US tour and they were so moved on how much fan support they received; because they did not really know what to expect after not playing live for 3 years. January 9th 2023 *BAND-MAID* first introduce this song as part of a concert they did at TOKYO GARDEN THEATER If *BAND-MAID* plays this song on their tour I'll bring the box of _Tissue Paper_ *Happy 10 Year Anniversary BAND-MAID* 🥳🎉 _(May the next 10 years bring you happiness and joy)_ Kanpai!!!!!
This was a song dedicated to the US fasn who support them and also to those who went to their tour last year (it was written while they were touring). That includes us man.
Sieke had me ugly crying when she first sang "You wuv me" and then "We both surwender". 🥲❤️Which made me Wuv them even more. I love everything about these Lady superheroes . I love all of their superpowers and all of their origin stories.❤️
Tony, the Maids were surprised, delighted & appreciative of the warm support, positive energy, and love from the fans on their US tour. They wrote a song about it. ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Really pleased that you picked up on the drums. It took me several listens until I heard therm clearly having been lost in Miku's backing vocals But those drums were just brilliant and added a layer of emotion I wasn't expecting. They are so good at fitting the jigsaw together until the perfect picture is produced. Not sure many bands are around that I can play the same track over and over and always find something new to appreciate.
I have watched 10 different reactions to this song, and every person finds and points out something different and interesting each time. There really is so much to find in it. As always, amazing composition and execution by the Maids. And it is a little extra special if you went to one of the US concerts last year, knowing when Saiki sings "I dream about your smile," she means you! 😊 (I'm convinced she made eye contact with every single person at each show last year. I went to 3 of them.)
I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this one, very different from their normal style. I was scared it was gonna be just a ‘pop-song for the masses” but they definitely retained the intricacies and musicianship! Really great 👍🏾
How much more classy can a band be to write two wonderful songs devoted to their fans. What sets Band-Maid apart from others is their undying LOVE for us......they're fan. They are my Family.
Excellent review!. I love the way you have to unravel the role of each instrument during the song and that excellent ear for detail. Thanks to you today I´ve discovered a couple of them. Fantastic job as always Tony. Thank you!
Tony, you can't forgot how perfect they are, Band-maid is the top, the bar, the perfection. This band is what all bands aspire to be. I think you need to react more often to Band-maid
So glad the engineers left the sound of Miku's fingers squeaking on the strings. So honest. A lot of engineers take those sounds out of the mix. Such a beautiful love letter to their fans after the US tour. The Maids sincerely love us all. As we love them.
the composition is reminiscent of kotzen-era mr big ballads -- intimate and earnest. but this is coincidental. mincho-zilla mentioned in an interview that she's refrained from listening to other music actively so as to create something that isn't from influence.
You should check out Band Maid - Memories of Wind and Wine (Dawn Winery Theme). It's a neat little instrumental they recorded for the latest Genshin Impact soundtrack. It's basically Greensleeves, but with that BAND-MAID flare. MISA really stands out in this one (as always). ua-cam.com/video/-M2EYvqeTdI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RonAyala
I enjoy your reactions so if you're taking recommendations, i suggest you react and analize the my hero academia openings (1 to 11), If you do, be careful with copyright on the 11th one since it's very recent, just in case

honestly? Anything written by Kanami. That's all.
No preferences. It's all good.
Yes.

Truth. The relationship between Band Maid and their fans is something wonderful.

@@scottmcgregor4829 They are lob-ed.
@@TheSeeking2know ?
@@scottmcgregor4829 I’m imitating the pronunciation in an alternate form. Japanese often replace “b” for “v” when pronouncing English words.

How Awesome can a band get? That is a rhetorical question. We know the answer. Peace.
💯
More yes

MISA plays without her pick in this ballad. Miku plays her Zemaitas with the heart sound hole.
"I forgot how good this band is..." I don't think I'll ever be able to say that. They have been in daily rotation for me since day 1. :D
Those harmonics from Kanami (or maybe Miku) at 4:56 are just freakin' perfect
I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this one, very different from their normal style. I was scared it was gonna be just a ‘pop-song for the masses” but they definitely retained the intricacies and musicianship! Really great 👍🏾
Haha, more Band Maid is always awesome. To think they've been making music together for 10 years! Love that you're wear your bandmaid merch too!
That was one of the better reactions to this song. You pointed out some really good details...particularly on the drums.
I love your reactions... so much appreciation for everyone, plus you break them down so that we could understand them. Just love it🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
to me Miku rhythm guitar and Saiki singer are Japanese version of Ann and Nancy Wilson :D :)
Great rection as usual. Much appreciated. Yes, a rhythm section to die for.
Such a beautiful ballad! ♥ Seen them play in Philly last October.
Can't wait to see them again in Houston in May!
Thank you for your reaction, really enjoyed your musical breakdown
How much more classy can a band be to write two wonderful songs devoted to their fans. What sets Band-Maid apart from others is their undying LOVE for us......they're fan. They are my Family.
love your band-maid reactions!
Bought tickets to their show in Nashville. I can't wait.
Thank you Tony, I really liked your reaction to Band Maid.. I came to know the beauty of the song in every part
Excellent review!. I love the way you have to unravel the role of each instrument during the song and that excellent ear for detail. Thanks to you today I´ve discovered a couple of them. Fantastic job as always Tony. Thank you!
Tony, you can't forgot how perfect they are, Band-maid is the top, the bar, the perfection. This band is what all bands aspire to be. I think you need to react more often to Band-maid
this band knows they have to open up to all kinds of styles to be the best band and they prove they can do any style and still be rocking
memorable is another act of love, to us....from them.
Band-Maid is a vibe for sure.
great song a breath of fresh air thanks Tony
