Kudos for knowing, and saying, that they are a rock band. That’s what they are, and a damn awesome, special, one too. It’s a pet peeve of mine when reactors latch on to the idea they are a metal band, and you hear the word “metal” 50 times during their reactions! Damn, as I’m typing this you said “speed metal”… 😂. Well, they are versatile, and cross those boundaries sometimes. They can do anything they want, and really well!
Imagine Band-Maid as a motor home. Band-Maid's usual location is in Hard-Rock, BUT they OFTEN will go into any other direction they want (Metal, Punk, Pop, etc). And the awesome thing about them is because of their great musicianship, songwriting & sheer talent, no matter what music location they happen to be in, THEY OWN IT.
Congratulations !!!!! You just stumbled upon the best band to hit this planet since Bill Haley got us all dancing around a clock. Any BAND-MAID song could be the best song you've ever heard in your life. And, mind you, they have well over 100 and their live versions are even better than the studio ones. Take it as you will, but that's the way it is. No BAND-MAID, no Life !!!!! BANDMAIDHEAD ¡¡¡¡¡
11 years and 130+ songs of pure greatness 💥 I was working almost 30 years in rockbusiness, seen few thousand gigs, all the major ones multiple times and NEVER seen or heard better band than Band-Maid ❤️ They have it all..Passion 🔥 Work 💪 Heart ❤️ Talent 🤘 Groove 💥 Magical band, amazing musicians, best friends. For me..Kanami Tōno, lead guitarist and composer, is the most impressive musician of 21st Century, maybe even ever. Pure genius as a composer and true Rock n’ Roll Star on stage. Greatest band in this Universe. I recommend you check out their Official Live Video Hate? and you see how great liveband they are 🔥 Thank you for reaction 🙏🏻 Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
This band rejuvinated my love of Rock music after being bored of western music for a long time. These ladies can do any genre, mix `em up and come up with music that is it`s own genre. They are all world class musicians and loveable dorks at the same time. Stick with them and you will have a wonderful musical journey ahead of you. Enjoy !!!
Lead Vocals - Saiki is my Queen Lead Guitar- Kanami is my Princess Drums - Akane is my Godess Rythm Guitar - Miku is my Inspiration Bass - MISA is my Soul
The Japanese rock and metal scene is amazing. Band-Maid is incredible with great virtuoso performers. Kanami is one of the best modern composers of rock music. Regarding Japan, here are a few outstanding bands - Maximum the Hormone, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Hagane, Aldious, Nemophila, etc. Others will add numerous others.
Welcome to Band-Maid Charlie! 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. A lot of Band-Maid MV's have embedded English subtitles btw. (Most songs are sung in a mixture of Japanese and English too). Now watch an official live MV to e really astounded - I recommend either ""Hate?" or "Domination" live. 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!
TOTALLY know how you feel. It's been 3.5 years since I found The Maids and I STILL can't believe it. They're THAT good. Pick anything and WELCOME to The Pigeonhole! 🕊
Thank you *Roger Chance* for spreading the word of *BAND-MAID* 🍺😁 ----------------------------------------- _The Carrier Pigeons delivering the message of _*_BAND-MAID_*_ to the World_
6:50 - "That drummer's insane" - Oh you have no idea. Here ya' go: Freedom (2020 live) Hate? Official Live) Rinne (MV) From Now On (MV) Domination (2020 live)
Did anyway notice when the tinkly orchestral intro started, Charlie pushed himself back into his chair with a look on his face that said "Ok might as well get this one out of the way for the next few minutes"....& then the guitars kicked in.🤣
"That drummer's Insane"! Yes she is...... Akane "Gorilla" Hirose (Ah-kah-nee Hir-osee) Band-Maid will melt your face then turn around and melt your heart.....they do it ALL! If you like fire, check out "Shambles". A power ballad " Daydreaming". an Instrumental "From Now On". A LIVE performance "Domination Official LIVE" I could go on with their over 130 song, you get the hand of them. Welcome! Their fan base is known as "Maidiacs".....we're tough, but fair.
A thing about the maid outfits, Charlie: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids. Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

Welcome to Band Maid 🥇 The world’s best hard rock fusion band. “Warning” is their speedy, chaotic rock music. They are notorious musical shapeshifters, playing multiple genres, often inside a single song, as if it were their specialty. Hair metal with a 🎀? “DICE,” OMV Heavy metal instrumental? “From Now On,” OMV Arena pop rock? “Freedom,” official LIVE Cinematic prog rock? “Puzzle,” official LIVE The more you describe your likes and dislikes, the easier it is to recommend songs. This band is exceptional
@@CharliePReacts Welcome to the fandom. Everything is meant for fun, tongue in cheek. A few fans are a bit too serious at times; however, please know the vast majority are just overwhelming happy about this band and want to share the experience. Why not test my theory; think of any and all of the most obscure questions you might have and ask. Watch how many responses you get and how ridiculously detailed they are. (Kinda like this one here 😂)
"I was not expecting this." The mantra of every first time listener to Band Maid. I have been listening to their music for only 4 years and have seen them live twice, but knowing a great deal of their catalog, I still have that feeling of not knowing what to expect with every new song. I remember back in the '70's and '80's hearing a song I liked, but after buying the LP, learning that only 2 or 3 of the 8 to 10 songs by that group were really enjoyable to me. That hasn't happened with Band Maid yet.
Loved your reaction, Charlie, subbed! "Speed rock" that's the first time I've heard that term used for the band. 😄 One thing we Madiacs love about Band-Maid is how impossible they are to classify as a band. Yeah, this is one of their faster and harder pieces, but they're not really a metal band per se... they're just metal capable and use metal riffs where needed. If you listen again to this one, you'll hear some punk influences as well, and many of their songs have punk to post-punk to pop-punk vibes as well, and more generally you'll hear a lot of poppy choruses (as you note, they leave you feeling really UP every time you listen). In other songs you'll hear funk, reggae, or even jazz influences. At least one song that sounds a little country. Some ballads in there, too, but usually hard rocking, where it's the punch that they deliver that gets you. THEY HIT SO HARD! Put more simply, we like to say that "The Genre is Band-Maid." There are lots of good song suggestions among the other comments here, but I'll put to you the special challenge... Go to their UA-cam page, and pick ANY song from their videos... perhaps try something live (another thing we Madiacs say is "Live Band-Maid is best Band-Maid), and watch how they tear down a venue. Try ANY video, and you will not be disappointed. They have over 130 songs now I think, and they are ALL great. This is an absolutely impossible sounding claim, I know... but it's also absolutely true. Rock on Charlie, and I'm looking forward to more Band-Maid reactions from ya! If you want another band to react to, you could try a band from Ukraine called Jinjer, and start with the usual place, their live studio version of their song Pisces. 😄
Band-Maid are extremely talented and shine when performing live ! These ladies are the real deal Charlie your going to love them =) Please check out "Real Existence" Official Live or "Hate" Live - Thanks Nice Reaction !
This song and "Hate" (live) are, in my opinion, great starters for new reactors/ possible fans as they don't get a second to take in the outfits. Only saying that as a lot of people look at the thumbnails and scroll past - their loss. These young ladies are the real deal an after a coupla vids in, you don't even notice the outfits and it even feels odd to see them without the outfits in a few of their clips. Kick back and listen to some of the best music you have ever heard ringing through your ears ... song after song. New Subby from Aust.
Glad you enjoyed my #1 group BAND-MAID. You will get a lot of song suggestions and, I must say, there are a lot of songs to choose from. HOWEVER, should you want to see BAND-MAID raw, to see just how exciting and real these gals are - check out DICE/HATE? live at Lollapalooza 2023. You won't regret it. Thank you for your honest reaction. These ladies are amazing.
BAND-MAID - 'Warning' Interestingly, BAND-MAID would team-up with _The Warning_ to coproduce the song 'Show Them', released quite recently. Funny the way things work out sometimes.

To my ears the best rock band on the planet. You've only touched the surface, not even scraped it. Play them live, they're a terrific live band. Do HATE? live from Yokohama Arena and you'll get your socks rocked off. Watch the MV of FROM NOW ON and be prepared to hear an incredible instrumental.
@@CharliePReacts The important thing is to hear them live., After that watch NO GOD live and listen to what a monster bass player Misa (the barefoot assassin) really is.
Hate?, Live - From Now On MV - Shambles-MW - Rinne MW - Manners and Black Hole, Double Studio Live - No God, Studio Live - Domination, Live - Puzzle Live, Sense MV - Influencer MV - After Life, MV - Play, Live - Alone, MV - Freedom, Live - Real Existence, Live - None Fiction Days, MV. You can start with these high energy songs. After that, you got as many slower songs and ballads. Then you have all their acoustics. Once you have gone thought these basic Band-Maid songs that everyone should have heard, then you can go and explore the real gems! The songs without video!!!!!
If you like them going hard, do try out HATE? (Live). They are a rock band with a varied collections of songs and sounds. There's a lot to hear. Try the "Choose Me" or "Blooming" music videos for something a little more punk.
Well.. you'll find out that Band-Maid is... Band-Maid lol. They go all around the hard rock. They can go from hard rock to metal to punk, and sometimes in one song! They go fast, slow and in between. But they do tend to be faster in recent years. Next you might want to hear how good they are are live. I'm sure many will recommend the song Hate? but my favorite is Puzzle. For one of the best pop-punk songs ever, check out he song Dice.
CharlieP , Welcome to BAND-MAID enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , BAND-MAID doing BAND-MAID things .
Welcome, Charlie. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 210 million views just on their official YT channel, 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 - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, 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, Bestie, 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 Protect You, Sense, Different, 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 OKYUJI concerts: 2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” ua-cam.com/video/Za1y-RRVd70/v-deo.html 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. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. 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 Great photo collage with older classic songs from P in D: www.youtube.com/@PinD-PANIC If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, 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, Don’t Let Me Down, 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. For fun, check out: "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic 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.

Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. This song is punk-pop-metal-rock fusion side of Band-Maid. First thing first...they are a rock band, well, I would call them a rock-core band. They have pop sensibility, and have always had touch of prog and strong punk influence in their vein. They literally play all kinds of rock, you'll hear so many different elements in their songs as you dig deeper into their catalogue. They don't do anything straight, they play acoustic version of some of their songs which are very different from original. The drummer occasionally use quick reggae-ish pattern on top of everything else. The only thing they don't play is death metal. Maybe if they add death growl to the backing track, they could make death metal fusion in the future as well, who knows...but you'll start picking pretty much everything else. I'm not exaggerating either. If you're the person who listen to all types of music you'll know.
LoveBites is more of a speed metal band. Band Maid is a rock band and when I say rock I mean the whole umbrella of the term. They are so diverse it will blow your mind. While I would love to see you react to "Real Existence Live", you can throw a dart and pick any song, literally. They have well over a hundred songs and they have so so many epic songs that don't even have videos. Keep it in your mind
Great react, Charlie! Stick with Band-Maid and you'll get a bunch more of those "What is going on?" experiences. The Maids are pretty unclassifiable, they mix and blend styles (as you'll soon see), but ultimately it revolves around a hard rock core. One thing you'll always be guaranteed of is incredibly consistent songwriting that always includes great hooks & riffs and instrumental & vocal interaction. If you want a look at their live work, a good entry point would be Domination or the more recent Hate. They do lots of mid-tempo and ballads, so not to worry if you want to cool down.
Типичная первая реакция на Band Maid, причём не важно какая из песен оказывается первой :) Попробуйте другие песни послушать. У них довольно большой диапазон в творчестве. Совершенно потрясающая группа.
Nice reaction. Okay before I continue, remember, you started this so it's your own fault :D So first a further Band-Maid suggestion Band-Maid - Hate live ua-cam.com/video/yfORoQIqB3E/v-deo.html And now a small part of the wider Japanese all women / women fronted Metal / Rock / Punk rabbit hole.

They describe themselves as "hard rock", but they actually play in, and are influenced by, many different genres. Japan actually has a bunch of more "metal' bands, many of them all, or mostly, female - just google Japanes metal female bands, for a start. Oh, and unlike "western" bands, they will ALL be having a great time, with some of the biggest smiles you'll ever see, even when the lyrics are about destroying people that offended them.
Band-Maid usually is a shock to your sense of sight and sound on the first listen. Hell, make that most every song! So in short, your comment “OH Shit” “What IS GOING ON?” “THIS IS AMAZING” Is perfectly normal when listening to Band-Maid.
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. The are essentially a Heavy Rock band, but if you dive deeper, they really are a genre of their own. I'm not gonna recommend any song (Bubble) because the other Maidiacs will do so..... However, for some friendly, constructive critique..... make the subject that you are reacting to on the screen a bit bigger. At least a quarter 1/4 of the screen. The text overlays are great...... post production reaction thoughts are cool. Your sense of "Rewinding" is great.. What music genre do YOU listen too??? Whatever it is, Band-Maid has you covered..... (Bubble).
No, Band-Maid is a band that has no genre. They can do rock, metal, ballad, even jazz. What you get with Band-Maid is just great music. It doesn't matter, every song is your favorite song. Get used to it., they are the best band on the planet today. Dig in, jump in, the water is fine. You have no idea, until you get their idea.
Thanks for nice reaction and for support the Band Maid. However, If you like strictly power and thrash metal music, there is another fantastic all -female Japanese band called Lovebites, five ladies extremely talented and skillful. I suggest you take a look at their YT channel where you will find all the videos you want, even the very recent ones (I recommend "Soldier stands solitarily" LIVE). Personally I am a fan of both Band Maid and Lovebites, according to their different musical genre
Kudos for knowing, and saying, that they are a rock band. That’s what they are, and a damn awesome, special, one too. It’s a pet peeve of mine when reactors latch on to the idea they are a metal band, and you hear the word “metal” 50 times during their reactions! Damn, as I’m typing this you said “speed metal”… 😂. Well, they are versatile, and cross those boundaries sometimes. They can do anything they want, and really well!
" A speed metal band ? " No, they are a punk rock band that knows no boundaries !! So, welcome to the best rock band on the planet.
😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Imagine Band-Maid as a motor home. Band-Maid's usual location is in Hard-Rock, BUT they OFTEN will go into any other direction they want (Metal, Punk, Pop, etc). And the awesome thing about them is because of their great musicianship, songwriting & sheer talent, no matter what music location they happen to be in, THEY OWN IT.
Well said!
Congratulations !!!!!
You just stumbled upon the best band to hit this planet since Bill Haley got us all dancing around a clock.
Any BAND-MAID song could be the best song you've ever heard in your life.
And, mind you, they have well over 100 and their live versions are even better than the studio ones.
Take it as you will, but that's the way it is.
No BAND-MAID, no Life
!!!!! BANDMAIDHEAD ¡¡¡¡¡
11 years and 130+ songs of pure greatness 💥 I was working almost 30 years in rockbusiness, seen few thousand gigs, all the major ones multiple times and NEVER seen or heard better band than Band-Maid ❤️ They have it all..Passion 🔥 Work 💪 Heart ❤️ Talent 🤘 Groove 💥 Magical band, amazing musicians, best friends. For me..Kanami Tōno, lead guitarist and composer, is the most impressive musician of 21st Century, maybe even ever. Pure genius as a composer and true Rock n’ Roll Star on stage. Greatest band in this Universe. I recommend you check out their Official Live Video Hate? and you see how great liveband they are 🔥 Thank you for reaction 🙏🏻 Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
This band rejuvinated my love of Rock music after being bored of western music for a long time. These ladies can do any genre, mix `em up and come up with music that is it`s own genre. They are all world class musicians and loveable dorks at the same time. Stick with them and you will have a wonderful musical journey ahead of you. Enjoy !!!
Lead Vocals - Saiki is my Queen
Lead Guitar- Kanami is my Princess
Drums - Akane is my Godess
Rythm Guitar - Miku is my Inspiration
Bass - MISA is my Soul
In the beginning there was darkness, then Kanami said “let there be music”,and it was good.
🙏🏻🔥❤️
The Japanese rock and metal scene is amazing. Band-Maid is incredible with great virtuoso performers. Kanami is one of the best modern composers of rock music. Regarding Japan, here are a few outstanding bands - Maximum the Hormone, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Hagane, Aldious, Nemophila, etc. Others will add numerous others.
Welcome to Band-Maid Charlie! 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.
A lot of Band-Maid MV's have embedded English subtitles btw. (Most songs are sung in a mixture of Japanese and English too). Now watch an official live MV to e really astounded - I recommend either ""Hate?" or "Domination" live.
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!
The talent in Band Maid 🎀 is crazy!😸best band on the planet!
TOTALLY know how you feel. It's been 3.5 years since I found The Maids and I STILL can't believe it. They're THAT good. Pick anything and WELCOME to The Pigeonhole! 🕊

Welcome to Band-Maid!! #bandmaid
Did anyway notice when the tinkly orchestral intro started, Charlie pushed himself back into his chair with a look on his face that said "Ok might as well get this one out of the way for the next few minutes"....& then the guitars kicked in.🤣
Gary I got 142! What’s the record? 🍺🥴
@@RogerChance5309 Well i never counted before, Roger, but i can't think of anyone else who have that many....especially in under a year.🤣
Charlie was of little faith but now he believes. He has become a BAND-MAID disciple .
Roger, you are the man!! Another beliver!! Awsone! Of course, loved the reaction!!
Glad you enjoyed it appreciate you 🤟
Congratulations you just found the best band on the planet 🤘🎎🤘🎎🔥🔥🔥🔥
"That drummer's Insane"! Yes she is...... Akane "Gorilla" Hirose (Ah-kah-nee Hir-osee)
Band-Maid will melt your face then turn around and melt your heart.....they do it ALL!
If you like fire, check out "Shambles". A power ballad " Daydreaming". an Instrumental "From Now On". A LIVE performance "Domination Official LIVE" I could go on with their over 130 song, you get the hand of them. Welcome! Their fan base is known as "Maidiacs".....we're tough, but fair.
Welcome to the fandom! ♥ these girls!
I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Puzzle (live)
Great reaction. More Band Maid please. The greatest band on the planet.
A thing about the maid outfits, Charlie: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids.
Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!
Check they official live video HATE?...and you will realize how insane good they are/just simple the best rock band on earth at the moment 😉

Welcome to BAND-MAID!
How about Puzzle is the next song?
I hope you'll enjoy it!
Their genre is band-maid.
Welcome to Band Maid 🥇 The world’s best hard rock fusion band.
“Warning” is their speedy, chaotic rock music. They are notorious musical shapeshifters, playing multiple genres, often inside a single song, as if it were their specialty.
Hair metal with a 🎀? “DICE,” OMV
Heavy metal instrumental? “From Now On,” OMV
Arena pop rock? “Freedom,” official LIVE
Cinematic prog rock? “Puzzle,” official LIVE
The more you describe your likes and dislikes, the easier it is to recommend songs. This band is exceptional
Seems like I’ve got a lot to learn about this band !
@@CharliePReacts Welcome to the fandom. Everything is meant for fun, tongue in cheek. A few fans are a bit too serious at times; however, please know the vast majority are just overwhelming happy about this band and want to share the experience. Why not test my theory; think of any and all of the most obscure questions you might have and ask. Watch how many responses you get and how ridiculously detailed they are. (Kinda like this one here 😂)
"I was not expecting this." The mantra of every first time listener to Band Maid. I have been listening to their music for only 4 years and have seen them live twice, but knowing a great deal of their catalog, I still have that feeling of not knowing what to expect with every new song. I remember back in the '70's and '80's hearing a song I liked, but after buying the LP, learning that only 2 or 3 of the 8 to 10 songs by that group were really enjoyable to me. That hasn't happened with Band Maid yet.
Loved your reaction, Charlie, subbed! "Speed rock" that's the first time I've heard that term used for the band. 😄
One thing we Madiacs love about Band-Maid is how impossible they are to classify as a band. Yeah, this is one of their faster and harder pieces, but they're not really a metal band per se... they're just metal capable and use metal riffs where needed. If you listen again to this one, you'll hear some punk influences as well, and many of their songs have punk to post-punk to pop-punk vibes as well, and more generally you'll hear a lot of poppy choruses (as you note, they leave you feeling really UP every time you listen). In other songs you'll hear funk, reggae, or even jazz influences. At least one song that sounds a little country. Some ballads in there, too, but usually hard rocking, where it's the punch that they deliver that gets you. THEY HIT SO HARD!
Put more simply, we like to say that "The Genre is Band-Maid."
There are lots of good song suggestions among the other comments here, but I'll put to you the special challenge... Go to their UA-cam page, and pick ANY song from their videos... perhaps try something live (another thing we Madiacs say is "Live Band-Maid is best Band-Maid), and watch how they tear down a venue. Try ANY video, and you will not be disappointed. They have over 130 songs now I think, and they are ALL great. This is an absolutely impossible sounding claim, I know... but it's also absolutely true.
Rock on Charlie, and I'm looking forward to more Band-Maid reactions from ya!
If you want another band to react to, you could try a band from Ukraine called Jinjer, and start with the usual place, their live studio version of their song Pisces. 😄
Fantastic comment !! Appreciate the kind words and awesome challenge!
Band-Maid are extremely talented and shine when performing live ! These ladies are the real deal Charlie your going to love them =) Please check out "Real Existence" Official Live or "Hate" Live - Thanks Nice Reaction !
You’ve been warned. For another great BAND-MAID with a special opening, try SENSE.
This song and "Hate" (live) are, in my opinion, great starters for new reactors/ possible fans as they don't get a second to take in the outfits. Only saying that as a lot of people look at the thumbnails and scroll past - their loss.
These young ladies are the real deal an after a coupla vids in, you don't even notice the outfits and it even feels odd to see them without the outfits in a few of their clips.
Kick back and listen to some of the best music you have ever heard ringing through your ears ... song after song.
New Subby from Aust.
Welcome to Band-Maid! Rock and Roll Avengers! You won’t be disappointed!
Welcome to *Band Maid!*
Thanks you 🤟
Glad you enjoyed my #1 group BAND-MAID. You will get a lot of song suggestions and, I must say, there are a lot of songs to choose from. HOWEVER, should you want to see BAND-MAID raw, to see just how exciting and real these gals are - check out DICE/HATE? live at Lollapalooza 2023. You won't regret it. Thank you for your honest reaction. These ladies are amazing.
Hate seems to be the most requested song so keep and eye out a drop a sub to see the next video 👀
BAND-MAID - 'Warning'
Interestingly, BAND-MAID would team-up with _The Warning_ to coproduce the song 'Show Them', released quite recently. Funny the way things work out sometimes.

To my ears the best rock band on the planet. You've only touched the surface, not even scraped it. Play them live, they're a terrific live band. Do HATE? live from Yokohama Arena and you'll get your socks rocked off. Watch the MV of FROM NOW ON and be prepared to hear an incredible instrumental.
“Hate” seems to be a recurring suggestion so drop a sub to keep and eye out 👀
@@CharliePReacts The important thing is to hear them live., After that watch NO GOD live and listen to what a monster bass player Misa (the barefoot assassin) really is.
Hate?, Live - From Now On MV - Shambles-MW - Rinne MW - Manners and Black Hole, Double Studio Live - No God, Studio Live - Domination, Live - Puzzle Live, Sense MV - Influencer MV - After Life, MV - Play, Live - Alone, MV - Freedom, Live - Real Existence, Live - None Fiction Days, MV. You can start with these high energy songs. After that, you got as many slower songs and ballads. Then you have all their acoustics. Once you have gone thought these basic Band-Maid songs that everyone should have heard, then you can go and explore the real gems! The songs without video!!!!!
If you like them going hard, do try out HATE? (Live). They are a rock band with a varied collections of songs and sounds. There's a lot to hear. Try the "Choose Me" or "Blooming" music videos for something a little more punk.
Welcome ,From now on,Hate and Onset will blow your mind beast live band on the planet.
Appreciate the suggestions 🤟
Welcome to &🙏 for BAND MAID🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟🐦❤️💙💚💛💜
Great reaction! Thanks for checking out our ladies
Thank you too!
One never expects the Spanish Inquisition (or the best band in the world).-- Monty Python
Nice, that's how I reacted when I heard them.
Well.. you'll find out that Band-Maid is... Band-Maid lol. They go all around the hard rock. They can go from hard rock to metal to punk, and sometimes in one song! They go fast, slow and in between. But they do tend to be faster in recent years. Next you might want to hear how good they are are live. I'm sure many will recommend the song Hate? but my favorite is Puzzle. For one of the best pop-punk songs ever, check out he song Dice.
Just the best band on the planet, no big deal..
Welcome to the Maidiacs Master Charlie
CharlieP , Welcome to BAND-MAID enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin , BAND-MAID doing BAND-MAID things .
Welcome, Charlie. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 210 million views just on their official YT channel, 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 - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, 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, Bestie, 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 Protect You, Sense, Different, 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 OKYUJI concerts:
2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” ua-cam.com/video/Za1y-RRVd70/v-deo.html

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, 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, Don’t Let Me Down, 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.

The Maids are one of the hardest working supergroups 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!
My only regret is that I didn't show this music video to the Mad Max director😏
The correct response, you nailed it!
Don't get hung up on the genre thing though. Band-Maid are Band-Maid and they play Band-Maid. Aural happy pill.
Welcome to the world of Band-Maid.
This song is punk-pop-metal-rock fusion side of Band-Maid.
First thing first...they are a rock band, well, I would call them a rock-core band. They have pop sensibility, and have always had touch of prog and strong punk influence in their vein.
They literally play all kinds of rock, you'll hear so many different elements in their songs as you dig deeper into their catalogue. They don't do anything straight, they play acoustic version of some of their songs which are very different from original.
The drummer occasionally use quick reggae-ish pattern on top of everything else.
The only thing they don't play is death metal. Maybe if they add death growl to the backing track, they could make death metal fusion in the future as well, who knows...but you'll start picking pretty much everything else. I'm not exaggerating either. If you're the person who listen to all types of music you'll know.
LoveBites is more of a speed metal band. Band Maid is a rock band and when I say rock I mean the whole umbrella of the term. They are so diverse it will blow your mind. While I would love to see you react to "Real Existence Live", you can throw a dart and pick any song, literally. They have well over a hundred songs and they have so so many epic songs that don't even have videos. Keep it in your mind
exciting to see and will definitely be listening to more #
Great react, Charlie! Stick with Band-Maid and you'll get a bunch more of those "What is going on?" experiences. The Maids are pretty unclassifiable, they mix and blend styles (as you'll soon see), but ultimately it revolves around a hard rock core. One thing you'll always be guaranteed of is incredibly consistent songwriting that always includes great hooks & riffs and instrumental & vocal interaction. If you want a look at their live work, a good entry point would be Domination or the more recent Hate. They do lots of mid-tempo and ballads, so not to worry if you want to cool down.
Thanks for the kind words and awesome advice I’ll definitely be checking out more of Band Maid 👌
Типичная первая реакция на Band Maid, причём не важно какая из песен оказывается первой :) Попробуйте другие песни послушать. У них довольно большой диапазон в творчестве. Совершенно потрясающая группа.
Nice reaction.
Okay before I continue, remember, you started this so it's your own fault :D

Fantastic list !! Thanks for the comment and drop a sub to keep an eye out 👀👀
@@CharliePReacts Yup all subbed up, looking forward to a few popping up when / if you get there :D
This genre is called Band-Maid.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
New Maidiac !!!??
You like Band Maid and you like The Warning. It is time for Band Maid and The Warning "Show them" :)
Minchozilla is what's going on
They describe themselves as "hard rock", but they actually play in, and are influenced by, many different genres.
Japan actually has a bunch of more "metal' bands, many of them all, or mostly, female - just google Japanes metal female bands, for a start. Oh, and unlike "western" bands, they will ALL be having a great time, with some of the biggest smiles you'll ever see, even when the lyrics are about destroying people that offended them.
Band-Maid usually is a shock to your sense of sight and sound on the first listen. Hell, make that most every song! So in short, your comment “OH Shit” “What IS GOING ON?” “THIS IS AMAZING” Is perfectly normal when listening to Band-Maid.
🤟🤟🤟
Hey I just introduced you to your favorite band and I don’t get a shout out? 🍺🥴🤘🏻🕊️
I shouted you out in the description I couldn’t remember your username I do apologise 🖤

Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. The are essentially a Heavy Rock band, but if you dive deeper, they really are a genre of their own. I'm not gonna recommend any song (Bubble) because the other Maidiacs will do so..... However, for some friendly, constructive critique..... make the subject that you are reacting to on the screen a bit bigger. At least a quarter 1/4 of the screen. The text overlays are great...... post production reaction thoughts are cool. Your sense of "Rewinding" is great.. What music genre do YOU listen too??? Whatever it is, Band-Maid has you covered..... (Bubble).
Really appreciate the comment and I will definitely take the advice 👌
No, Band-Maid is a band that has no genre. They can do rock, metal, ballad, even jazz. What you get with Band-Maid is just great music. It doesn't matter, every song is your favorite song. Get used to it., they are the best band on the planet today. Dig in, jump in, the water is fine. You have no idea, until you get their idea.
I have definitely found out that Band Maid is there own genre !!
Dare mo wakaranai. Nobody knows.
Thanks for nice reaction and for support the Band Maid. However, If you like strictly power and thrash metal music, there is another fantastic all -female Japanese band called Lovebites, five ladies extremely talented and skillful. I suggest you take a look at their YT channel where you will find all the videos you want, even the very recent ones (I recommend "Soldier stands solitarily" LIVE). Personally I am a fan of both Band Maid and Lovebites, according to their different musical genre
