Once again we are blown away and highly indebted to Ohrenje-san and his helpers who made this wonderful video happen. You are more appreciated than you know, Po. Acoustic Band Maid is massage for the soul. ☺
I love Saiki's voice!! She is often overlooked for her vocal qualities, but to me she sings with such passion and strength. Her instrument adds so much to their music and when I hear them I listen first time for that incredible voice. She is so good and can sometimes bring me to tears. It is in their ballads and acoustic versions she most shines, and I love them, but boy can she belt out a fast song and even control it. As a performer she is my favorite vocalist anywhere today. Even in the harder rock/metal songs Saiki still has the power to focus the song and keep attention to why it is being performed by them. I love you girl. Take care of that marvelous voice, I want more of it. I love all of them, but she holds a special place in my enjoyment of what these women do.
A vocalist is the one that could make you like or dislike a band so it's a very important role. I really like deep voices so Saiki is really a perfect fit to my tastes and with Miku backup vocals and those 4 amazing musicians, BAND-MAID is the band I was waiting to love to the rest of my life 🤩
The acoustic versions of their songs are always such a joy to listen to, they always manage to surprise you and fall in love again with songs that you already knew well Man, i wish they played Matchless GUM acoustic again. That would be awesome!
While playing acoustic versions of songs change the mood and atmosphere of most songs. I am always astonished at the emotion they manage to bring in the acoustic versions that is often totally opposite to the aggressive, angrier feelings portrayed in the heavier, rock versions.
Band-Maid does it all and that's what I love about them -- no fear! When you're out there in an acoustic setting every little miss gets amplified multiple times over. The 2024 acoustic is about as sterling in execution as you could ask for. And the arrangements are absolutely gorgeous. If you haven't yet got your ticket, get it now!
The acoustic version of PUZZLE is very special to me because it made me a fan of Saiki's singing. Now, Sai-chan is my #1 Maid (of course, I love all members😁). I was lucky to witness the acoustic Okyuji in March of this year. It suddenly rained before opening the venue and got heavy for about 30 minutes☔ Many fans lined up outside the venue got soaking wet (I didn't get wet😌). Sai-chan said to us during the MC "It suddenly rained so heavily. Were you OK?" But it wasn't my fault, you know😏". She is so cute💕
Anemone and Sayonakidori both seem to inhabit this space of frenetic chaos and a gentle caress at the same time. The fact that so many of their songs translate between heavy and soothing is telling of their talent. Also, I absolutely need to hear Matchless Gum unplugged.
What did we ever do to deserve you, Ohrenje?!! Once again, a huge THANK YOU so much for your generosity of both your time and your talents. (The same goes to Kasper and everyone else involved!) This was another outstanding effort. And remember: Life is BETTER with BAND-MAID! 🤘🤩🤘
What can't Maids do? Even Saiki can play and sing Daydreaming with her friends. Awesome. Buy a ticket from okyuji acoustic and you'll see. Thanks Ohrenje.
I love the stripped down acoustic rendition of our favourite songs so much - especially because it really highlights the pure musicality and skill of the instrumentalists and highlights the vocal prowess of the vocalists without 'hiding' anything behind extraneous sound effects...this acoustic show was sooo special..on a personal note I got to see 2 out of three of my most cherished vocal expositions 1. Saiki on piano - Choose Me , and 2. Miku - Sayonakidori..thirdly, I soo enjoyed seeing and hearing Kanami's doing backing vocals - I love her beautiful angel voice.....Band-Maid Forever!!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great stuff Ohrenje!
Thank you for your hard work, Ohrenje, Kasper and everyone involved! 🙏 Their acoustic Okyujis are awesome and the last one was absolutely amazing 👌 Nice venue, friendly atmosphere, everyone was chilled and a great setlist. Even though they didn't play "Page", but "Alone" , "Corallium" , "Choose me" and Daydreaming with Saiki-Sensei on the piano and especially "Bubble" were such a pleasure to watch and the rest of the songs were great.
Thanks @Ohrenje ,po!🕊💜 I was at the March 20th acoustic okyuji. It was my first ever Band-Maid concert, and it was magical. The recording is very good. I am happy to be able to relive the concert again, po! 🕊
Ohrenji, thank you for all the hard work and dedication you and those working with you did on this video. Band-Maid is such a remarkable group; I wish the rest of the world would wake up and appreciate them.
I love their acoustic performances and of course immediately bought a ticket for the streaming of their March concert. In fact, Smile acoustic is among my top 5 Band-Maid songs and I still consider it Saikis best vocal performance I ever heard. "But" those make me also realize, that I mainly love Band-Maid for their hard rocking, electrical bangers even more. The acoustics are a beautiful change from time to time, their rockers are what binds me to them.
Thanks for another great video. Bought the long archive ticket and just watched it for the third time. It gets better every time. Sayonakidori ac is my favorite Band-Maid song.
Loved this visit to Band-Maid's acoustic travels! I think you missed one, though. The acoustic performance of "Smile" with the whole band prior to the Christmas performance.
Thank you very much, Ohrenje and team. I was lucky to get a ticket for Line Cube Shibuya in March, where I noticed a lot of cameras around the venue. I will watch the stream ASAP 🙂
Great video as usual Ohrenje! I liked your subtle hint (Hopefully) around the world in 2025. With what you've done to promote Band-Maid, they should be doing an acoustic set in your living room. Cheers
Thank you Super Fan Ohrenje, your videos are fantastic and full of knowledge. It was fun watching the live release of the stream with all the people commenting, especially when they played Corallium and Bubble. I fired up the Zaiko app on my phone connected to my vehicle's bluetooth and voila, my commute will consist of this concert for the next 30 days.
Thank you once again for an amazing expansive look at the history of all the acoustic they have done. It's fascinating to see how they have evolved over the years! Bravo!
Just finished watching the stream. Miku, Saiki and MISA had some new instruments. I just wish they would show the whole thing including all the MC's and Omajinai Time.
Thanks for the nice summary. It's a pity, that the acoustic set in winter 2014 was covered so little, as there are some beautiful rarities to be heard there. At least the short section was backed by Yoake Mae, which for me is one of the most beautiful versions of a B-M song.
Oh, no mention of three more acoustic live performances at: - March 9th, 2019 at Hulic Hall Tokyo where they had omeishusama only acoustic live and talk show performing 9 songs - February 14th, 2020 at Line Cube Shibuya performing YOLO and Puzzle - February 11th, 2021 online show with Smile acoustic performance added as bonus track for DVD
I thought of adding Smile but it seems enough for the video. That's great to know about the rest, I was wondering how much I missed! Thank you HaroMatsu-san!
@@Ohrenje You’re welcome😊 BTW, the Hulic Hall show is very special show for me, as it was my first ever BAND-MAID show that I attended. And for the Line Cube Shibuya show, I bought the DVD/Blu-ray for the sake of acoustic songs and later found out the acoustic songs were omitted from it😭
More Band-Maid music makes the world more beautiful. More commentaries on their music, not so much. Thanks anyway. I gotta go listen to Puzzle again. :)
It was only released on CD from their website for fan club members. It still appears there from time to time. No DVD ever released though! But the full concert (and the commentary version) are on Band-Maid Prime.
@@Davey-Boyd The full video - not the commentary version - is available also from some obscure Russian or Chinese webpage, but I would rather buy the whole package from their shop.
I have purchased all of their Zaiko releases in the past. But shelling out for membership as well. Was always a bit more than I can afford. Will have to see how much that comes to in total? Anybody know how much both will cost in sterling?
last time I looked sure it was around £112 for the year, not saying it's not worth that. Just money is tight for me at the moment. zaiko is normally 23 pounds approx

@@Ohrenje it's so Great to see SAIKI take the lead & smile , I been watching BAND MAID since the Beginning 2013 ! Hahaha I've seen alot .
Corallium, Bubble and day dreaming were absolutely amazing.

Beautiful. Last Line Shibuya's concert is something impressive, one of their best performances without a doubt.

The Zepp 2018 songs are so so beautiful.
Wow! This should be good! More Ohrenje epicness on the way Po! 🍊🍌🍰☕🍻🍻🍷🦍🕊⚾️🚄👑🎼🎤🎸🥁🎹🇯🇵🇨🇵🥐🧀🍷
Purchased my long archive ticket. Tremendous set list and performance by all the girls.!🫶🏼
Thank you for supporting BAND-MAID!
I believe the world is a better place with Saiki having healthy vocal cords after her surgery. 🙏🏻
I love the acoustic versions of their songs, they are all so talented I feel like a proud uncle (I have nieces their age)🙏
Loved this visit to Band-Maid's acoustic travels! I think you missed one, though. The acoustic performance of "Smile" with the whole band prior to the Christmas performance.
Yes I thought of it and I missed other performances as well from older shows.
Thank you Ohrenje Kasper and crew another Wonderful production.
Thank you, great job. There was also an acoustic version of "Smile" that I think was part of one of the Covid online shows.
Yes indeed, I forgot about that one! It was a bonus song x)
Thank you very much, Ohrenje and team. I was lucky to get a ticket for Line Cube Shibuya in March, where I noticed a lot of cameras around the venue. I will watch the stream ASAP 🙂

I'm just hopping that they come to Europe. As for my living room, that's a dream that will be never true 😂
@@Ohrenje I Hear you. I need an excuse to visit Europe, why not see Band-Maid at the same time.
Another great video. Thank you, Ohrenje!

Acoustic Band Maid is my favorite Band Maid! The 2021 Concert was the absolute highlight for me. Sadly no official CD available.
They did release a CD for that. No Bluray.
@@DAVID-io9nj Yes but only limited via their homepage as far as I know.
nice tie in to the acoustic from Sat. 2017 was a surprise for me.
Merci beaucoup Ohrenje.
Thank you. Their acoustics always grab me by the heart.
Hi Ohrenje, looking forward to the premiere
Quite informative as always, great job!
Just finished watching the stream. Miku, Saiki and MISA had some new instruments. I just wish they would show the whole thing including all the MC's and Omajinai Time.
They did show the whole thing minus all of the MC/chat time according to someone who was at the live show in March.
@@michaelmiller3842 It's the MC's and Omajinai Time that I want in addition to the music.
This is fantastic #Ohrenje
Thank you for the great BM content!

Another perfect video. Thank you Ohrenje and team.
Wonderful job!
Oh man. I love Smile and Sayonakidori so much…
The acoustic version of “YOLO” 2017 is one of my favorite ever. Sometimes, I miss Saiki’s gritty “old-school” voice.
Thanks Ohrenje
It's one of my favorite too. I just wish that they performed it again one day...
Great video and history!
I need to hear the Acou-tic version of Matchless Gum!
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀
Me too!
❤it.
Oh, no mention of three more acoustic live performances at:
- March 9th, 2019 at Hulic Hall Tokyo where they had omeishusama only acoustic live and talk show performing 9 songs

Thank you HaroMatsu-san!
@@Ohrenje You’re welcome😊
BTW, the Hulic Hall show is very special show for me, as it was my first ever BAND-MAID show that I attended.
And for the Line Cube Shibuya show, I bought the DVD/Blu-ray for the sake of acoustic songs and later found out the acoustic songs were omitted from it😭
@@HaroMatsuRestarted Your first show in 2019! Wow! That's a great first concert to go to, right?
Oh no that's really sad...😭
Rapheal girlfriend ❤❤❤❤
Good job brother as always ❤
Gorgeous, thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏👍🍻
Thank You! 🍺😁🕊️
ACOUTIC
I could do that private joke but I don't know if everyone would get it 🤣🤣🤣
More Band-Maid music makes the world more beautiful.
More commentaries on their music, not so much.
Thanks anyway.
I gotta go listen to Puzzle again.
:)
I love you acoustic BAND-MAID músic ❤
I never knew about those earlier acoustic performances. I wonder how close acoustic YOLO was to the original Mincho song?
I wonder as well. All I know is that YOLO acoustic is beautiful 🥰
Паззл в акустике бесподобен.
Just a teaser, no songs in there full version
Pure promotion selling tickets to another video LOL
Of course! There is no point using full version in this type of video.
I am still waiting for the 2021 acoustic package: CD, DVD, DVD with comments. Did I miss it?
It was only released on CD from their website for fan club members. It still appears there from time to time. No DVD ever released though! But the full concert (and the commentary version) are on Band-Maid Prime.
@@Davey-Boyd The full video - not the commentary version - is available also from some obscure Russian or Chinese webpage, but I would rather buy the whole package from their shop.
@@Davey-Boyd Probably need to get the membership at some point.
@@christianseidel7513 Both versions are on bilibili (China). Sound is ok, picture quality not as good as BM Prime though.
I have purchased all of their Zaiko releases in the past. But shelling out for membership as well. Was always a bit more than I can afford. Will have to see how much that comes to in total? Anybody know how much both will cost in sterling?
From what I know, it's always in yen when you pay so you'll have to do the conversion.
It's about 5$ for OMEISYUSAMA and 10$ for PRIME.
last time I looked sure it was around £112 for the year, not saying it's not worth that. Just money is tight for me at the moment. zaiko is normally 23 pounds approx
@@nellybod8742 I was talking monthly, I'm not sure about the price yearly 😅
To my ears, BM is not that strong on the acoustic, I could enjoy a single song or two but not a whole CD 😵
I agree, some recordings are bad, think their sound engineers don't have enough acoustic experience
If accoustics were added as bonus tracks at the end of the CD I would be a very happy Band-Maid fan! 🕊️❄️🍌🥷🎸
