Band Maid have no weak links. They are a perfect puzzle. One piece missing and it’s not even close to the same. I’m actually a bit afraid for them because they can’t be Band Maid without every one of them exactly where they are.
Best damned rock band in the world. I'm 75 and have seen A LOT of rock bands, from the iconic to the not so well known. After a couple of decades of a true rock music drought, Band-Maid has restored my hope and belief in the future of rock. This is just a suggestion, but you should now react to official acoustic video of "Puzzle" from their concert at the Tokyo Zepp theatre in (I believe) 2021. The acoustic only comprised of Kanami an acoustic guitar and providing backing vocals and Saiki's singing. It's the same melody, the same lyrics, with a completely different emotional feel to it. Warning, even as a big strong male, get some Kleenex.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Band Maid certainly is a beam of hope for the rock landscape 👍 And thanks for the song suggestion, I certainly would like to check out their acoustic version 😁🤟🐦
Hi Jason! The lyrics are about falling in love with a married man and all the lies and deceit that entails. Check out the acoustic version, it's heartbreakingly beautiful.
Thank you for your great feedback. The structure of the song is wonderful, and the band's arrangement is extremely complex and grand, and it's rare for someone other than a native Japanese speaker to refer to the lyrics this much. As a Japanese person, I'm really happy that MIKU was able to carefully capture the heartbreaking feelings he wrote, and that SAIKI's performance, which put emotion into the lyrics, was praised. looking forward for next time.
@@JasonsSongStop last one was in Tokyo. Both Band Maid & The Warning played. Plus both bands were on stage for finale live debut of their new collab! 🔥
funny thing with BAND MAID, u can't cut one member without ruining the experience , then they do it and its a miracle: 4 of BM: u have a facemelting instrumental 3 : and you can see a little angel gets her wings ( Miku, Akane + MISA, "Sayonakidori" Acoustic Ver. (Official Live Video) ) 2 : Saiki and Kanamincho; u have a tear roling down ( Puzzle/ Anemone acoustik ) 1 : Saiki ( Choose Me | Solo Performance | Piano ver ) ; ur heard krumpels down and u cry!
This song, "Puzzle," is a song sung by a woman who has fallen completely in love with a cheating husband who will never leave his wife for her. She knows this love will destroy her, that she will never be happy again, but she can't stop loving him.
Didn't think I'd still get to watch some band maid reactions during this hurricane but the power is still on so good. Love puzzle. This, moratorium and awkward are my trilogy I always need to listen to together
You really have to listen to this song at least 5 times - each time concentrating on a different instrument, then the final listen to concentrate on the vocals and lyrics. Only then can you appreciate just how crazy epic this performance really is.
I FULLY AGREE! My first time reaction is is only a TASTE. That's why I like reacting to their different performances of the same song so I can gain a deeper appreciation 😁🤟🐦
My 3rd favorite Band-Maid song, after Blooming & Daydreaming. As mentioned by other commenters the acoustic version with Saiki & Kanami is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I have added your other 2 favorite songs to check out soon as well as the acoustic version! Stay tuned for more Band Maid 😁🤟🐦
It's a complete PUZZLE to me why the entire rock world aren't (yet) solid Band-Maid Fans! Is there some language / cultural / sexist chauvinism going on? Is it just incompetent marketing? Is there NO GOD to give some justice where justice is due? ;-) Luckily for them, Band-Maid continues to accelerate in creative song writing, performance, and sold-out shows worldwide.🤘🎀🤘Thx Band-Maid fans, Maidiacs, and Jason!
This song is proof Saiki has three lungs.........must be from Godzilla's prefecture. Either that or she can breath through her eyelids like the lava lizards of the Gallipolis Islands....not really sure. Either way she's amazing. I liked this song, but after this release I LOVE it now.
From Japan I don't understand why overseas fans think Puzzle is cheating with a married man. Did they say that in an interview? It's normal for a woman to fall in love with a man who is dating another woman, and that doesn't mean the man loves her. I feel like this song is about love and separation with a man who doesn't love her only, whether married or single. Not lies or deception, but an irresistible love. But unfortunately, Puzzle is already broken.
Hello 👋 YES, I pointed this out in my analysis. It sounded to me like an Unrequited love (Meaning they want someone who does not feel the same affections back). That is what I thought as well. Thanks for stopping by! 😁🤟🐦
Yes, I have heard that interpretation as well. I took away that it was an Unrequited love in which she wants someone who does not return her feelings. I will bring this song back for the acoustic version and look into the lyrics again to see what I think about it 😁🤟🐦

@@JasonsSongStop Thanks,they are second only to Band Maid for me. While there are many other talented bands in Japan,I don't care for them and don't watch any reactions of them. I am subscribed and will watch every reaction you do for those two.
Everyone say that Mincho sherds. IMHO I think she almost never does. She plays melodies with phrasing. Sometimes very fast, but still not shred. Shredding is to me something else. More showing off technics.
@@JasonsSongStop I didn’t say I was right, just how I see it. What she never does is to try to impress. This is true for all three Maids. It’s all about the song. Even during “battles.

BAND MAID ROCKED OUR SOX WITH PUZZLE! LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS AND NEXT SONG SUGGESTIONS BELOW! 😁🤟🐦
Miku(rhythm guitar/back vocals) is such an under-rated lyricist
Band Maid have no weak links. They are a perfect puzzle. One piece missing and it’s not even close to the same. I’m actually a bit afraid for them because they can’t be Band Maid without every one of them exactly where they are.
You are absolutely correct! Every aspect of Band Maid is made up by each of them. That is why they are truly special 😁🤟🐦
Love everything about this one and Miku's harmonizing just puts it over the top for me
This was a powerful performance! Miku did a great job harmonizing for sure 😁🤟🐦
Puzzle acoustic is a completely different song even though it is just supposed to be this song done acoustically. This band is incredible.
That sounds absolutely awesome 🤟

Five Maids in a band
Gifts of nature, soaring sounds
Puzzle pieces fit
(Band haiku #32 - honestly, I just lost count)
Haha love the haiku! Great job 👏
That's a good one!
There is also a beautiful acoustic version.
Thanks so much! I'm definitely down to check that out! I love acoustic versions 😁🤟🐦
Classic BAND-MAID. Simple and powerful. Probably my favorite song of theirs.
That the best way to do it! 😁🤟🐦
Epic Puzzle!
Absolutely Epic! Thanks for stopping by 😁🤟🐦

Most interpret it as an affair with someone who is already spoken for. There's an acoustic version too.

Everyone say that Mincho sherds. IMHO I think she almost never does. She plays melodies with phrasing. Sometimes very fast, but still not shred. Shredding is to me something else. More showing off technics.
Shredding for me is generally about speed. I might specify arpeggios or sweep picking if I wanted to get specific with it
