Yes friend, i'm 60 yrs old, it is the first band in decades I listen to almost daily. I have never bought any foreign language albums, yet I have two Band-Maid albums (so far). Their music transcends the spoken language and is irrelevant. It is that good.
I'm 66 going on 67 shortly and I have been following them religiously since 2014. I'm a musician and I find them the most talented women I have ever seen in my opinion. Just blows me away... 🎶🎶
When do you have a band with three formidable talented musicians and a gifted singer? These ladies ROCK! \m/ \m/ It is a miracle that Miku (the founder of the band) found them and welded them together.
@@CAPTCHAZ --Yes, I'm a guitarist / musician also , 45 yrs or so, I cannot express how it makes me feel that there are young musicians out there with such talent. I have two daughters and I gravitate towards exceptional female talent and ability because of this. I try to show them be what is possible, and not be constained because something is perceived as being a male-only field or area.
@@CAPTCHAZ l turn 67 this year and for me this is hands down the best hard rock band working anywhere today. Musically almost flawless. Viva Band-Maid.
55 year old metalhead here. Band Maid is the first band since decades I can and I do listen every day and not a single stinker in the basket. And to all the complaining fanboys of other bands, sorry guys there can never be enough Band Maid, because they are the best 😇 and compared to their awesomeness their recognition in the West is still to low. I saw almost all the big names, Band Maid easily can catch up with all of them - race horses they are, yes ... and Akane reminds me of an Octopus on drums, what she beats out of her rather small drum kit is astonishing ... and you two are just to sweet 😊 best wishes from Switzerland 🇨🇭 #Band Maid Secret my lips #Band Maid Turn me on live #Band Maid Order #Band Maid Onset live (Instrumental) #Band Maid Bubble (the newest one) #and all the rest of them 😇
The legendary Jimmy Page thanks highly of Akane's drum skills. After an awards show, he asked to take a photograph with her after praising her skills. You can find the picture on the net.
stanley day thanks stanley 👍 I know and I have the picture already. Page said Akane reminds him of the legendary John Bonham, which is quite a decent compliment.
@@stanleyday7293 that picture is my screen saver. Band-Maid is the very best hard rock band around today. They have that certain something that only a handful of genuine bands have. I cannot tell you what it is but you sure notice when it isn't there. They remind me so much of the comradeship the early Beatles had in spades. It just makes you naturally want to root for them and see them do well. Absolutely love these exceptionally fine musicians.
Nice you learned the lesson. This is the feeling we not speaking English mother tongue people had in the old days when we heard the first time "The Who" or "Black Sabbath". But in the last decade the western rock bands lost the spirit. Good to hear new bands from the east. Try some other bands like "Maximum the Hormone" (they are the paragon of the drummer Akane) or "Drops" (another all female Japanese band) .
@@Medley3000 that's fair. However, Band-Maid could sing in pig latin and l would still be promoting them to the best of my ability because they are simply that damn good. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
It's not so much that it's been abandoned. it's that the record and entertainment industry in the United States.For the most part has All but abandoned this type of music. . Because they are too busy pumping out the sewage performed by Beyonce Bieber Chris Brown Taylor Swift and rap so-called music. These ladies are definitely a breath of fresh air.
Keep preaching brother and sister!!!! I've been a professional musician before any of these girls have been born. Play guitar, bass, drums, write and sing. Will never be as good as any of them. Rich your right. On any particular song they will remind you of a particular band. Kel is more right. The fact that they can pull from all of these bands and influences and genres makes them unique. Band Maid sounds like everyone. No one sounds like Band Maid! Great reaction!!!
I love the way they bring the bass into the mix, normally you have to listen for the bass but with Band Maid it's right out in front with the rest of the instruments.
I am so in LOVE with this band!!! They are just a great fun listen!!! I have to listen to them barefoot as they always blow my socks off (LOL)!! Misa, the Assassin on bass is simply great. Rich I find myself doing the same thing yelling to continue...My only complaint with Band Maid is the riffs are too short and the songs aren't long enough!!! I don't care if I never learn Japanese I don't need to, these women just put me in a great mood every time I listen to them AND they have not served up a DUD yet!! Man I have to see them LIVE what a great show that would be!!!
Love your reactions, you are a beautiful couple. Plugged your reactions a little on reddit, thought you might like that. Went last November to their concert in Amsterdam, and cannot describe what a great experience that was. They play in 500 to 1000 seat venues, so it's very cosy and upfront. You see these lovely ladies up close while they melt your face! When they come near you, do go there, spare no expenses, you'll never regret it...
When do you have a band with three formidable talented musicians and a gifted singer? These ladies ROCK! \m/ \m/ It is a miracle that Miku (the founder of the band) found them and welded it together.
YOU GOT IT!!! You don't have to understand the words! This is true rock Sound, vocals mixed with instrumentation produce the Sound! Though their lyrics are great also, that's the thing about a lot of the Japaneese artist, it's the whole Sound package, and that's what you get with Band Maid..and Babymetal...and Doll$Boxx....and....and.... Thanks for another great reaction!!
Great reaction, this was my introduction to Band Maid and what a kick in the face it was, I could not listen to another band for a month. #bandmaid secret my lips
The library for Band Maid is just opening up for you guys. There're Bubble, Choose me, Non-fiction Days, Real Existence, Domination... just to name a few.
Since you've found the love for Band Maid, Check out their April Fools day pranks where they rebrand themselves Band Maiko and dress in kimonos and add traditional Japanese instruments. Secret Maiko lips (a remake of Secret My Lips) or the newest one from 4/1/2019 Gion-Cho
Akane Hirose is the drummer for #BandMaid and she is amazing. Kel - you had mentioned classical training before with regard to proficiency. Akane and Misa, the bassist, both met while at the Tokyo School of Music. They are one of the best rhythm sections out there right now IMO. Kanami the guitarist is also attended a conservatory as well and she currently writes most of the music and Miku, the rhythm guitarist writes the lyrics. Rich - I think you might be surprised by her lyrics. She tends to write some darker lyrics and the lyrics to Dice are quite interesting. I love her lyrics. You really need to watch #bandmaid Secret My Lips and then read the lyrics to that as well. Anywho - love watching your reactions to #bandmaid. You should look into #maximumthehormone as they are an influence on Akane the drummer.
They hit you nostalgic sounding riffs, then just when you think you've heard it before they go a completely different way with it, changing it up and don't simply play it straight, insert in some poppy chorus with short concise solos and I guess that's their style, its hard rock but at the same time it has a feminine touch, they're not trying to out-rock/metal the boys, they've defo crafted their own signature.
Glad u guys are enjoying Band-maid. Actually Rich, the guitarist, Kanami, has said publicly that one of her biggest inspirations...is Carlos Santana. So you're spot-on on the feel of their sound.
If you wanna see how fun and creative these girls can get? Check out "Secret My Lips", followed immediately by "Secret MAIKO Lips", should probably be one video. It'll blow your mind :)
I'm loving your Band-Maid reactions! Let's change up the pace! #BandMaid Daydreaming | Macedonia 🇲🇰 It's a slower, ballad-like song. They can do hard and fast. But oh boy can they do slow!
Oh yes, once you become accustomed to listening to songs in another language, something amazing happens. An entirely new dimension of wonderful music opens and you find yourself in another world. People often refer to this as "going down the rabbit hole". Have fun!
That bass player is great. This band is really starting to grow on me. I guess I'm gonna have to learn Japanese so I can understand the lyrics as well. ✌
That's funny. The main lyricist/rhythm guitarist Miku, and the lead singer Saiki, are horse racing fans. So yeah, they can be pretty fast out of the gate. : ) I'm not a Japanese speaker, but I understand most BAND-MAID songs are difficult to sing, even for Japanese speakers. A lot of words, sung very quickly.
There's a 2hr whole concert of theirs on YT. We'll worth checking out when you've done all your reactions. a mountain of awesome, and they are not only right out of the gate, but they *barely* stop for breath it seems.
#Bandmaid "onset" their instrumental song - each member has the spotlight (except for Saiki the vocalist - this song is affectionately called by their fans as "Saiki's pee break")
So glad to hear there are others who share the "music transcends language" mentality. used to work with people who just refused to listen to any kind of international music that wasn't sung in english, and it just frustrated me to no ends, how can you ignore such talented music just because you can't understand the language, seems such a dumb concept to me.
Yep Kel and Rich, I’m in my later 40s and from a death metal background so I’m used to liking music for music’s sake and not being dependent on understanding lyrics. Let’s face it honestly, if you’re interested in death metal lyrics you’ll have to look them up and read along. And most likely wish you hadn’t bothered! Japanese just Sounds good to me because it has nice hard consonants and vowels. A K sounds like it’s supposed to, there is no weird ch sound screwing things up and I’m sorry Kel, no weird French sounds.😜 But you’re absolutely right Rich- it just goes so well with the music!💪🏻🤘🏻
Guys, I just discovered Band Maid a few weeks back and now I’m absolutely kicking myself for not watching your reactions of them two years ago. The joy they bring this world 🌎. I can’t get enough. Banger after banger with these gals!! Just love them. I haven’t been as excited to see a band live since Rush ended and hope I get a chance to some day soon. 🤷🏻♂️😎
I hope you look at comments to old videos. I want to thank guys for being the first time of me hearing Band-Maid. I've been practically obsessed with them since you did this video. You helped bring a good thing to my life! They have helped me get through some tough times. So thank you again. I hope someday you do these again and do their new stuff.
We are here Space Ranger!! That’s so wonderful to hear how our own introduction to Band-Maid had such a positive impact on you. They are fantastic. Can’t wait to get back to reactions to hear their newest music. Much love to you and thank you so much again for being so positive and sharing your own story. Much love. Kel ‘n’ Rich 💕🙏🏽
They consistently produce great music. Here's a few from their catalog: Onset (Instrumental - Live), Take Me Higher ((Live) - Great Duel between Kanami and Misa), Real Existence (Video Performance), Gion-Cho (video as Band Maiko - different and compelling), Rock in Me (Live - Miku on Lead Vocals) - The overwhelming majority (98%) of their songs are very good to incredible. Others include Glory, Alone, Choose Me, The Non-Fiction Days, Puzzle, Don't You Tell Me etc., etc., etc.
So i found them in 2013 but saw the outfits and didn't listen. Then my daughter was listening to on set and I was like who the hell is that oh my God phenomenal I couldn't believe when she flipped her phone down in front of me and it was band-maid pretty huge fan ever since and I learned not to judge a book by its cover unfortunately my daughter was the one who had to teach this to me
@@moriganbecks4811 Oh yeah, absolutely, love them both! And the newly remixed version on the new Band-Maiko EP sounds even better! I was just thinking they wouldn't "get it" if they only saw "Maiko" without "My" first, but you're right - it'd be enjoyable either way. :)
It does not matter how many times you roll a Dice, because Band Maid comes out every time :) A small guide to continue - Drums - "Secret my Lips" - official MV - ua-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/v-deo.html "Alone" (fancam focused on the Akane fantastic play) - ua-cam.com/video/Eqwo40Io_Q8/v-deo.html Epic bass/guitar battle - "Don`t you tell ME" (live) - ua-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/v-deo.html Miku MC time and vocal - "Rock in me" (live) - ua-cam.com/video/X_c2WbqDNwc/v-deo.html Probably their best arrangement - "YOLO" - ua-cam.com/video/wKZbzcUdY1g/v-deo.html
@@autoxjunky it was just too different from what my faves were at the time. It IS particularly well crafted, but definitely has a different feel than a lot of the stuff before it. Threw me a bit, and didn't know what to think at first. But yeah, I came around quick after a few listens, and I think it's one of their more creative songs, it's great.
athaz697 I was the same. The first time I heard it I thought it was a decent song but the more I’ve listened to it the more I like it. It’s my favorite song of 2019 so far.
@@charleshendrix3137 Screaming is mine, hands down. I adore how heavy it is, so much, the solo is just over the top insane. But yeah, Bubble is definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5. :)
You're doing reactions to B-M heavy songs, it is time for a curve ball, maybe?: #bandmaid Daydreaming #bandmaid Awkward(live) Love the fact that you are true to yourself and know what you are talking about 👍.
BANDMAID IS SO UNBELIEVABLY IMPRESSIVE THAT I ALMOST DON’T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME THEY ARE! The last time that I felt this way is when I first heard “I Want to Hold Your Hand” on the radio from The Beatles in 1964!
I was introduced to Band-Maid because of you guys, your analysis is on point IMO. I have heard Baby Metal before this and though they sound great, Baby Metal is a totally different vibe. The singing in baby metal doesn't complement the music, as does Band-Maids, but is more a side note. Also I love listening to all female bands whose music as a whole feels complimentary and complete.
Love Band-Maid and I think I have a crush on MISA :D You can't be more cool than she is! "Onset" is the natural step for you now! When you go on to Babymetal, please do Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro) live or Road to Resistance live in japan.
I just discovered this band like 3 days ago. They are amazing. And it is fun to watch all reaction videos too. The only thing that bothers me is, that nobody seems to get the genre right. I don't think this is metal or hard rock. The song structure reminds me a lot of Punk. Listen to Sum41 for example. They sound very similar to them. And the song structure is very close to 90s punk like Sum41, blink182. Very catchy hooks and choruses. Lots of transitions and changes in pace. Very happy music. I like it a lot. Hope to see them live one day. Sadly I kind of didn't know of them earlier, bc they were apparently doing some shows in my country. Next time I know.
*Lovebites - Shadowmaker* Japanese all female Heavymetal English Edit: pick the full video.. Japan has the quality rock and metal music.. sharing the love to all
The founder of Band-Maid(Miku) has a goal of world domination, and she's not joking. Maybe the song "Domination" should be your next Band-Maid reaction... ua-cam.com/video/xmxEuQXTHUU/v-deo.html
your commentary is always spot on. Rich from 3:55 - 4:20 is me.. even after listening to this band for a few years now.. i'm still finding myself dumbstruck..

Band maid is like a mix of Guns and Roses, Nirvana, and Led Zeppelin that got changed into Japanese women on PCP. Band Maid is my favorite Rock Band of 2020 and I was born in the 1960's. WOWZERS> MORE PLEASE....
Yes friend, i'm 60 yrs old, it is the first band in decades I listen to almost daily. I have never bought any

#Bandmaid "onset" their instrumental song - each member has the spotlight (except for Saiki the vocalist - this song is affectionately called by their fans as "Saiki's pee break")
Among her influences, Kanami, lead guitar/songwriter, claims "Deep Purple"; so, be on the lookout for 70's riffs.

They consistently produce great music. Here's a few from their catalog: Onset (Instrumental - Live), Take Me Higher ((Live) - Great Duel between Kanami and Misa), Real Existence (Video Performance), Gion-Cho (video as Band Maiko - different and compelling), Rock in Me (Live - Miku on Lead Vocals) - The overwhelming majority (98%) of their songs are very good to incredible. Others include Glory, Alone, Choose Me, The Non-Fiction Days, Puzzle, Don't You Tell Me etc., etc., etc.

So i found them in 2013 but saw the outfits and didn't listen. Then my daughter was listening to on set and I was like who the hell is that oh my God phenomenal I couldn't believe when she flipped her phone down in front of me and it was band-maid pretty huge fan ever since and I learned not to judge a book by its cover unfortunately my daughter was the one who had to teach this to me
Top band.
BUBBLE and for a little bit of fun MAIKO MY LIPS.
Good reaction.
Secret MAIKO Lips should only be followed up AFTER Secret My Lips :)
@@somejoshthing if you want to be technical, sure, but I think either one is fine. I like them both.
@@moriganbecks4811 Oh yeah, absolutely, love them both! And the newly remixed version on the new Band-Maiko EP sounds even better!
I was just thinking they wouldn't "get it" if they only saw "Maiko" without "My" first, but you're right - it'd be enjoyable either way. :)
@@somejoshthing that makes sense
#beardfish this matter of mine
I'm not giving up on this one. You will love this great prog rock tune. They are from Sweden.
Hope you're into Kaipa and The Flower Kings too. Maybe Karmakanic, others.
Just discovered you two, and I love your reactions to Band Maid. Also, you make an awesome couple!
Thank you Charles! We so appreciate your kind and thoughtful words. You rock.
Much love ❤️

It does not matter how many times you roll a Dice, because Band Maid comes out every time :) A small guide to continue - Drums - "Secret my Lips" - official MV - ua-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/v-deo.html "Alone" (fancam focused on the Akane fantastic play) - ua-cam.com/video/Eqwo40Io_Q8/v-deo.html Epic bass/guitar battle - "Don`t you tell ME" (live) - ua-cam.com/video/foqErbEw05o/v-deo.html Miku MC time and vocal - "Rock in me" (live) - ua-cam.com/video/X_c2WbqDNwc/v-deo.html Probably their best arrangement - "YOLO" - ua-cam.com/video/wKZbzcUdY1g/v-deo.html
Una última cosa... Me gustaría q escucharán la canción "TURN ME ON" live zepp Tokyo de su concierto 2018, para mí es una de sus mejores canciones.
NEXT ONSET BY BAND MAID FULLY INSTRUMENTAL UNRELEASED SONG
LISTEN TO BUBBLE NEXT!!!! it’s a different sound from them but it has an amazing sound mix and structure.
I didn't like Bubble at first, and it's now one of my faves. Amazingly creative and well-done song :)
@@somejoshthing I loved Bubble from the first bar. I think it is a well crafted song as well. Glad you came around on it. :)
@@autoxjunky it was just too different from what my faves were at the time. It IS particularly well crafted, but definitely has a different feel than a lot of the stuff before it. Threw me a bit, and didn't know what to think at first. But yeah, I came around quick after a few listens, and I think it's one of their more creative songs, it's great.
athaz697 I was the same. The first time I heard it I thought it was a decent song but the more I’ve listened to it the more I like it. It’s my favorite song of 2019 so far.
@@charleshendrix3137 Screaming is mine, hands down. I adore how heavy it is, so much, the solo is just over the top insane.
But yeah, Bubble is definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5. :)
You're doing reactions to B-M heavy songs, it is time for a curve ball, maybe?:
#bandmaid Daydreaming
#bandmaid Awkward(live)
Love the fact that you are true to yourself and know what you are talking about 👍.
Puzzle & Anemone (accoustic) would be amazing aswell
@@AnotherMetalGuy Let's wait with that one a little bit longer so it can hit right in the feels.
@@soverin1488 how about start over XD
@@mono.5810 Kel-n-Rich said they are doing reactions from prog rock to metal, so Start Over doesn't fit for the genre 😎 .
yep, every face just lights up in ten seconds. they are just that good
Part of me hopes you've been checking out all their music but part of me hopes we'll have a ton of Band-Maid reactions when you decide to come back...
Your on the BANDMAID train.
Just wait til' you see them live!
Next time you guys watch #BANDMAID you should check out Puzzle or Secret My Lips!
BANDMAID IS SO UNBELIEVABLY IMPRESSIVE THAT I ALMOST DON’T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME THEY ARE! The last time that I felt this way is when I first heard “I Want to Hold Your Hand” on the radio from The Beatles in 1964!
Next song Bubble please.
I was introduced to Band-Maid because of you guys, your analysis is on point IMO. I have heard Baby Metal before this and though they sound great, Baby Metal is a totally different vibe. The singing in baby metal doesn't complement the music, as does Band-Maids, but is more a side note. Also I love listening to all female bands whose music as a whole feels complimentary and complete.
Elijah Hoyt with baby-metal, I honestly prefer the lead singers solo songs.
dai.ly/x65nyci like this one
Happy journey
Quickly becoming my fav reaction couple!!!
Thanks Brian. Check out our playlist. Lots there to choose from. Just getting going! Only 37 days so far!!!! Rich
You should do “non fiction days” by them love that song
#BandMaid Onset Live Utah, USA.
REACT TO BAND MAID-DONT LET ME DOWN (FULL SONG IS IN ENGLISH)
i love your reaction guys keep it up
#MarysBlood Marionette another amazing all girl japanese metal band
Like everyones said
Onset
dice is a great driven song and the bridge let's the listener catch their breath for a moment or two before getting back into the fast lane.
Well you found the country where metal has gone to revive.
Better just leave a reminder for #Versailles - Masquerade.
Love Band-Maid and I think I have a crush on MISA :D You can't be more cool than she is! "Onset" is the natural step for you now!
When you go on to Babymetal, please do Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro) live or Road to Resistance live in japan.
I just discovered this band like 3 days ago. They are amazing. And it is fun to watch all reaction videos too. The only thing that bothers me is, that nobody seems to get the genre right. I don't think this is metal or hard rock. The song structure reminds me a lot of Punk. Listen to Sum41 for example. They sound very similar to them. And the song structure is very close to 90s punk like Sum41, blink182. Very catchy hooks and choruses. Lots of transitions and changes in pace. Very happy music. I like it a lot. Hope to see them live one day. Sadly I kind of didn't know of them earlier, bc they were apparently doing some shows in my country. Next time I know.
*Lovebites - Shadowmaker* Japanese all female Heavymetal English
Edit: pick the full video.. Japan has the quality rock and metal music.. sharing the love to all
You should try "Daydreaming", it's slower but they are fantastic musicians and songwriters so the song comes out great. Fantastic guitar solo too
The founder of Band-Maid(Miku) has a goal of world domination, and she's not joking. Maybe the song "Domination" should be your next Band-Maid reaction... ua-cam.com/video/xmxEuQXTHUU/v-deo.html
🤘👍 #pinkfloyd-daydreaming band maid
your commentary is always spot on. Rich from 3:55 - 4:20 is me.. even after listening to this band for a few years now.. i'm still finding myself dumbstruck.. "HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS??"
for something a little different..

"Drummer with 9 appendages" ... Ha ha ha..... It is the land of the tentacle fetish after all.....
the band is GREAT at using pauses! :)
Akane Misa and Kanami started Piano 3 years old . They are multi instrument play.
Band maid is like a mix of Guns and Roses, Nirvana, and Led Zeppelin that got changed into Japanese women on PCP. Band Maid is my favorite Rock Band of 2020 and I was born in the 1960's. WOWZERS> MORE PLEASE....
