    Oh Lollapalooza, I was there! The crowd was more hyped than it looks but they put them on a weird stage at a weird time. Most of the people in the crowd were there waiting for Sabrina Carpenter who was up next. Pretty sure promoters thought Band-Maid was just a little pop group. And multiple people asked me if they were K-Pop before they started and I just smiled and laughed and said "wait". They actually debuted the extended solo part of the song the night before at a small lolla after show. I was there too and was so lucky, I was front row and about 18 inches directly in front of MISA the bass player, and she played that solo in my face.

    About the instruments:
    Rhythm guitarist Miku is playing an A24MF-FP Flappy Pigeon guitar.
    MF stands for metal front.
    The "Flappy Pigeon" is her signature model from Zemaitis.
    MISA is playing a Black Cloud five string bass.
    She also has a signature model from the company, but isn't playing it here.
    Kanami has a PRS Custom 24, and she recently became the first Japanese artist to have her own PRS (Paul Reed Smith) signature model.
    It's the Kanami Limited Edition Custom 24-08 in Trampas Green Smokeburst.

    Here are the members + nicknames for fun
    Miku Kobato (girl with colored hair): founder of the band, rhythm guitar, back vocalist, main lyricist, main spokesperson, occasional lead vocalist. Incredibly hardworking person with kind heart. Her nickname is Small Pigeon
    Saiki Atsumi (vampire goddess): main vocalist, occasional lyricist, second spokesperson (also the youngest in the band). She often gives cold-like tsundere vibe (similar vibe with vampire lol) so her nickame is usually Ice Princess
    Kanami Tono: lead guitar, main composer of their songs, occasional back vocalist. Her nickname is Kanamincho, -incho is a suffix which adds cute like aspect to the name and that explanation kind of sums up her vibe despite she transforms into a hurricane while playing a solo
    Akane Hirose: drummer, absolute beast, loves to eat, occasional back vocalist. Her nickname is usually Drumzilla or something along this line. Despite being a punk kid in her childhood gives the most composed image as a person. Her inspiration was the drummer (Nao) from Maximum The Hormone, maybe you heard about this band
    Misa: bassist, she (almost) always plays barefooted cuz heels hurt her legs, making her nickname Barefoot Assassin. The shyest person in the band, speaks only when asked, absolute monster on her bass. Likes to occasionally drink during their sets

      Ok, here we go again. Some of this cut and paste misinformation needs to end. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but please only give correct information.
      Miku Kobato (guitar /vocals) is a small pigeon (that's what Kobato means).
      Saiki (vocals) is not and never has been "ice queen." Sai-chan (occasionally Sensei) is what she's called within the band. The cold personality that she portrayed in the band's early years was to cover for her extreme shyness.
      Akane (drums) is A-chan (pronounced Ah-chan) or Gorilla due to her powerful drumming and her love of bananas.
      Kanami (lead guitar) is Mincho or Kanamincho.
      MISA (bass) is Misa-chan within the band, but fans often call her the Barefoot Assassin because she usually plays barefoot and her attire was once described as an "assassin maid" by Miku in an interview.

    Yes, the pretty girls in the maid costumes actually play (and write) their own music. Their are no half-assed musicians in Japan, male or female. The costumes were more traditional and coordinated between the members early in their run. As time wore on, four of them started having more fun with the styles of dresses. The guitarist with the pigtails is the only one that has stuck with the traditional maid motif, since she started the band. ."Ten minutes of limp gymnastics" is an accurate translation. Use your imagination. Any adult should be able to figure it out. No, the extended solo parts are not in the studio version. They were written solely for the live performances. Yes, BAND-MAID is badass and I hope you enjoy the ride. 😁

    Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. While they don't class themselves as a metal band, 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 mayhem to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 12th year with the original line up. And they are the best live band I have ever witnessed!
    Their sound in their official live video's - I can confirm that's what they actually sound like being in the room with them, it's not doctored, but has gone through the sound desk of course. Their sound techs are AMAZING
    Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

    Meet the ladies:
    Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, really into horses and horse racing. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. Has the energy of an average nuclear power station mixed with weapons grade cuteness. A comedian onstage - literally! She is the heart and soul of the band.

    Saiki Atsumi was "The Ice Queen" nowadays just "The Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. Was very shy in the early years and came across frosty in interviews because of that, hence the nickname - she has thawed out now though! The youngest member at 30. Into train spotting (really)! and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, is a fashion icon and ex model. Designs a lot of the bands merch. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs.
    Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" but usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say: "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cakes, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement.
    Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA. She also plays trombone!
    MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (and a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.

    Dude! I have subscribed with you since it looks like you can breakdown music quite well. I feel I'm in for an interesting ride with you. As everyone has said to you - "Welcome to Band Maid!" they are the hardest rocking band I know of right now. I have seen them live and believe me it is just a kick ass incredible experience. I had quit listening to modern music until I accidentally discovered this band 4 years ago now. I am in my seventies and grew up watching Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Jethero Tull, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, to name a few. Music died for me in the 90's and then came these women. Others have listed some great music of theirs for you, but I'd like to recommend the dual video performance of "Manners" and "Black Hole" they did for fans during covid in 2021. You must listen to both because the effect together is amazing. This band is capable of just about anything musically and that is what seperates them from Baby Metal for me. Baby Metal is much more of a corporate produced and directed enterprise while Band Maid is about the musicians and music. They write and perform their own. If your interest in Band Maid is strong enough, and you really want to learn about them and how and what they are about, I would suggest a 7 set of documentary videos on each band member from a French guy named Ohrenje. They are actually fairly short being around 25 to 30 minutes each. One thing you will find out is that the Maidiacs who follow these ladies are a very special group from all around the world. Band Maid is actually more popular outside Japan than in. Anyway, do enjoy your time with them. We all believe they are something very, very special.

    The lyrics translation is spot on. Now.... Knowing the theme of the song, go back and rewatch the guitar bass "battle", but now watch it as an argument. The bass is the guy and the guitar is the girl. The bass starts out talking shit and complaining. The guitar yells back in anger. The bass continues aggressively, going on a rant. The guitar interrupts, mocking the bass and pushing back, the bass tries to argue back, resulting in both instruments eventually "shouting" at each other, but the guitar slowly takes over the and wins the argument, leaving the bass mumbling. Leading back to the vocals and that final, foot stomping angry "La la la la, LALALALA LA! I HATE YOU!" And no, the studio version doesn't have it

    Welcome to BAND MAID! ... and they are ALL dressed as maids :) . You will not find a better hard rock band anywhere! Our MAIDs are best sampled LIVE as they are a performance band (kinda obvious now :p ).
    BAND MAID is:
    Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals, PR (Band founder, lyricist ... our flappy pigeon, po!)
    Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar (musical composer extraordinaire - the princess)
    Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, percussion (see bananas ... and ramen - the gorilla)
    Misa - bass guitar (drinks hard liquor and performs without shoes on stage - the barefoot assassin)
    Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals ("we dance in the palm of her hand" - Domination - The Queen)

    Happy New Year. Welcome aboard the B-M ride. Very few better ways to start a year really. As for B-M lore the Maidiacs will do that with glee and after a few songs, there's a 7 part documentary series done by a fan about the members and band which is excellent that will fill in all the lore blanks that remain.
    Edit: honestly, at this point, growling vocals aside, the main difference between hard rock and metal these days seems to mainly be in how the guitars are tuned. Double bass etc is not all that uncommon in hard rock now for instance.

    2:04 - Would recommend these BAND-MAID songs along with what's on your list:
    - Freedom (2020 live)
    - Warning! (MV)
    - Secret MAIKO Lips (MV)
    - Shambles (MV)
    - Rinne (MV or 2020 live)
    - From Now On (MV)
    3:48 - Yes they play their own instruments and saying they're good is an understatement. BAND-MAID dabbles in different sub-genres of rock so there is something for everyone.
    6:15 - Their maid costumes have been evolving over the years to what you see now (more subtle). It's poetic as the band's founder, Miku (pigtails with red rose) is the only one left wearing an obvious maid costume. Also, everything is dialed up to 11 as this concert (November 2023) was BAND-MAID's 10-year anniversary celebration. They're happy to perform at smaller venues like House of Blues and music festivals like Lollapalooza when touring the United States.
    11:28 - Not only does the bass guitarist get screen time, BAND-MAID gives all members a chance to shine. The bass player, MISA (aka The Barefoot Assassin), alternates between slap and pick while performing. You see this up close in their 2020 live version of Domination.
    14:30 - BAND-MAID's lyrics are often uplifting and inspiring but this song is an exception (basically someone wronged a friend of the lead singer, Saiki "sy-kee").
    15:25 - This first song is DICE which is definitely reaction-worthy (MV or 2020 live).

    The Lollapalooza performance was only the second time they'd performed that particular arrangement of "Hate?". They premiered it the night before at the after party of day one. The festival actually streamed their set and they had multiple cameras. The director unfortunately was completely unfamiliar with the band and had no clue who to focus on when. The official live was from the final performance of their 10th anniversary performance at Yokohama Arena. The whole show is available on DVD/BD if you want to dig into the entire 33 song performance.

    At the end of the day, metal is rock played faster and usually louder. I wouldn't call Band-Maid a metal band (I admit I don't know them too deep), but it seems the path of music nowadays is blurring the lines between genres and mixing them without prejudices, which is really good. The result is, the genres are not so important, but the talent, and these girls have it in abundance.

    Kanami (lead guitarist) composes majority of the music, and Miku writes most of the lyrics to their music. Though they all participate in the process of most of the songs.

    From Japan
    BAND-MAID is a five-member girl rock band. This year marks their 12th anniversary. The members have not changed. They are a hard rock band and are considered by fans to be one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually have 23 songs and 2 hours of live performances. They were formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Miku had experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo, and came up with the idea of playing cool music in maid outfits. That's why the band was named BAND-MAID. "Thrill" was their first music video in 2014, and six months later, it suddenly achieved 2 million views in two weeks, avoiding disbandment and deciding to become a hard rock band. They have also performed overseas and are gaining more fans. Currently, they write, compose, and arrange all of their songs themselves. They have 140 original songs. They have 60 songs published on their official You Tube, and all of them are killer songs.

    Official videos are often not blocked.

    These girls are totally crazy. Wonderful musicians and personas. They have so much to listen to. And it is very different. They have fantastic instrumental tracks. They have groovy stuff, hard stuff and prog stuff. One thing is common for most of their music. All members add something important. No one is really backing musician or singer. Not entirely at least. As personas they are goofy and vary serious at the same time. They live for this. And they really love each other and the audience.
    There is so much to recommend and you will get all kind of recommendations. I will only give you three (although I could easily write down 20)
    * HONKAI - Live - its a new song and it is total madness. So fun. And so unexpected. Why not put the bass and the drummer as lead?
    * From now on - MV - one of their fantastic instrumental tracks.
    * Manners and Black Hole - Covid Studio Live - two songs - one super groovy bass driven and one complex and prog and fast where every band member is lead.

    Re: maid uniforms: they all originally wore "standard" Maid Café uniforms, but started modifying them and are now wearing things more loosely inspired by uniforms.

    But they have slowly evolved away from pure maid dresses. Only Miku now has a proper maid dress.
    The maid theme is all her idea and it was she that founded BAND-MAID. She called the dresses "the gap". The gap between hard rock and cute girls in cute dresses.
    There is a fun story there. When enlisting the singer Saiki she was not told about the maid dress. They kept it secret. And if they had told it she would not even had consider it.
    Then, when they should do dress rehearsal she was shocked and furious. But it was too late.
    And she and MISA, the bassist, were the two first to skip maid dresses. Neither of them fancied the idea.

    There are way more than 5 songs to recommend for BAND-MAID. They aren't the greatest of all time - no band is, how would you even qualify that - but they're my FAVORITE of all time. Their genre range is pretty cool, be it in terms of full songs, or just parts inside of songs. There will be time you'll catch yourself on first listen, "Wait, was that JAZZ?" and then they've moved on. They're just so Fn cool.

    A pigeon in a maid uniform said I rock this uniform I wonder if I can rock in this uniform. She met a princess. The princess said I know a gorilla. The gorilla said meet my friend the barefoot assassin. The pigeon thought there is something missing. Enter the Queen. When you check out Show Them make sure you have time to go down the rabbit hole of The Warning. They have a large fan base and catalog.

    Both performances are from 2023. Lollapalooza was June. The BAND-MAID 10th Anniversary tour at Yokohama Arena was live streamed in November. They were the first band to take the Coinbase stage that Friday. The camera crew and director for the Chicago live stream probably had more experience filming DJs and Pop stars. The three-hour YoAre “one-man” event was captured by multiple professional camera operators and is available on Blu-ray.

    Introducing The Band...
    Misa [mee-sah] (Barefoot Assassin) - Bass Guitar
    Miku [mee-kuu] (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Lyricist, Band Founder
    Akane [aah-kah-neh] (Gorilla or A-Chan) - Drums
    Saiki [sigh-kee] (The Queen or Sai-Chan) - Lead Vocals
    Kanami [kah-nah-mee] (Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Songwriter
    I don't think it has ever been confirmed but supposedly Saiki came up with these lyrics after someone cheated on a friend of hers. There is an interview with Saiki where she said that she could tell Kanami was mad when she wrote the song. However, Kanami later said she was not mad at all. Kanami is such a sweet person that I don't think she could be mad about anything. She approaches everything with the mindset of "I will do my best" and actually says that quite often.
    Note:... Don't piss off Saiki if you want to retain one shred of humility or dignity. Those put-down lyrics she came up with are brutal! Only Saiki can dish those out and then smile and say thank you afterward.
    Some song suggestions for you are Moratorium, No God, Rinne, Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, About Us, Play, Why Why Why, Clang, and Matchless Gum. There are a couple more live videos from the same Yokohama Arena okyuji as Hate which are very good. Don't You Tell Me is a straight up banger with another guitar vs bass duel, and Endless Story is a tear jerker ballad that even choked up the lead singer and the drummer since it was the last song of their 10th year anniversary tour. Also, they just released a collaboration with The Warning called Show Them which is a must listen.
