You'll never have more fun at a live show. Having been to hundreds of shows from small clubs to stadium tours going back to 85, nothing touches a Band Maid show for pure enjoyment.
Miku Kobato - RHYTHM GUITAR - plays Zemaitis C24MF (Zemaitis Endorsement - with a Signature Guitar called Flappy Pigeon) - EVH Amps - Writes the lyrics - Has only been playing guitar for about 7 years. Was the singer but took a back seat voluntarily! KANAMI TONO - LEAD GUITAR - plays PRS Custom 24 (PRS Endorsement) - Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier. - Writes the music (one interview she states that she has a database - 2 years worth?!?!) Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - (Black Cloud Endorsement) Orange AB200B MKIII Amps Akane Hirose - DRUMS - Plays TAMA drums with Zildjian Cymbals - Roland KD-A22 (Possibly an Endorsement with TAMA and ROLAND) Saiki - VOCALS - Sennheiser microphones and DPA Microphones MISA plays with a pick and slaps in the same song and changes from one to the other very quickly! From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right? (Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick. (Chris): Show me how. (Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm. (Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how) (Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever. (Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awesome! (Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice. Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps When you watch Domination - replay it slowly and you will see MISA switch exactly as she explained it in the interview.
Take in consideration that no everyone in the world speaks English but they still appreciate wester music. People who do not understand Japanese should adopt the same mindset.. Appreciate the awesome music
@@ItsMrScott that bass has actually been a chore. It's a short scale and she's had issues with it pretty much from the beginning. Her main bass is also a Black Cloud full custom. It is the relic'd one from the No Good and Manners/Black Hole videos.
As a bassist yourself I think you would love their songs "Play" and the combo "Manners - Black Hole", both in their YT channel. Band Maid could give a master class on how to let your bassist fly free, and be just as much of a leader as their lead guitarist.
MISA basically has carte blanche in terms of her bass lines. She plays what she wants, and how she wants because she wants what’s best for the song and for the listener.💪🏻🤘🏻
Pure perfection, aren’t they? I mean, what can you fault? And those faces... their attitude... their music... their playing... their story... and their joy! Band-Maid is a world treasure! Thanks Mr. Scott, for bringing the world's best hard rock band to your viewers!
Hello Mr. Scott. 63yo Maidiac here. Been listening to rock music since I bought Steppenwolf and Alice Cooper albums back in the 60's. Rode along with Black Sabbath and the birth of metal in high school. That being said I haven't been this obsessed with a band since Van Halen came out. I highly recommend the MV versions of "YOLO", "Alone" (one of Kanami's best solos), "Daydreaming" (another of Kanami's best solos), and "Blooming". For live videos, try "Onset" from the Zepp show in 2018 and "Domination" and "Play", from the same show as "Freedom".
Another fine reaction Mr Scott. This is your band if your focus is the bass. Try Onset-Live and the new Manners/Black Hole-Live or the MV Daydreaming. If you like them so far the next four dozen songs are not going to change your mind. Band-Maid is the Bestest, Tightest, Funnest band out there. Peace.
Maidiacs, Germany Division reporting: First of all, welcome to the pigeon-hole! :) You would think that breathing life back into a genre that was thought to be dead would be a mammoth task. But these ladies manage to master this task with ease and obvious fun. Thanks to them, rock 'n' roll is alive again! My recommendations? 'Domination' and 'Onset' are must-sees. Furthermore, 'Real Existence' (Live) and 'Daydreaming' (MV). ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 「 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' 」- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️
I have seen the Band-Maid live three times, I can tell you that Misa's sound is incredible you can hear her even in your feet coming out of the floor, I think it is impossible to put Misa's bass in the shade, then she would definitely kill you, her is still the Barefoot Assasins. great reaction dude.👍👌😎❤
Maidiac here from SC , Great Reaction Mr, Scott ! I'm a Misa fan as well and i think she has bass solos on "Dice , Play and Onset" ! Thanks for playing Band Maid =)
In 2016, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin caught a performance of Band-Maid in Tokyo and asked for a photo-op with their drummer, Akane Hirose. Reportedly he told her that she was like a reincarnation of John Bonham. For those who don't know, BAND-MAID played in the Classic Rock Awards 2016 and received the Japan Next Generation prize. After the show Jimmy Page, asked Akane for a photo.
Great reaction thanks man. Manners Black Hole duo is great but as someone before me already wrote sometime somewhere : "Pick any song from their channel, they are all awesome" ;-)
@@ItsMrScott We are there to enjoy your company as you take your band maid journey as so many of us maidiacs have . it's your journey and you should do as you see fit we maidiacs will be respectful along the way because that is band maids way and ours.
Well Freedom is one of their older favorite fun songs that they really enjoy playing live. This is a list of songs they have played live and the number of times the song has been played each of them live. You will notice many of their newer songs are at the bottom of the list and that has nothing to do with song popularity, they toured a lot in the early years.

I love Band Maid. If you like MISA on bass try and see if you can get their videos of "Take Me Higher" and/or "Don't You Tell Me" from their Zepp show from a few years ago. Both have a back and forth between MISA and Kanami during the guitar solos. The videos used to be on YT but were taken down. Maybe can get it from a fan or on Discord website. "Take Me Higher" is the song that got me hooked on them when I first found out about them in 2019.
This clips really highlights why so many want to see them live. Fun, entertaining and talented. Effortless solo from Kanami..again. Misa..well she's just majestic. Good show of Akane's speed here. Amazing on Black Hole and Warning.
Great reaction and welcome to the World of BAND-MAID. Glad to hear you're already a fan of MISA and her bass because she is featured a lot ! You need to watch and react to the official live video for "Play" - MISA, Kanami, Akane and Miku jam for over a minute before Saiki starts singing :) ua-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/v-deo.html

MISA MISA MISA!!! You can tell that she does not believe that crap about there being no money above the 5th fret. She really works the whole neck.
I doubt if you will ever see a band have more fun with each other on stage than these amazing ladies, totally awesome !!!
You should check out "Dice" so you can really see her shine. Misa, Misa, Misa !!!
Glad you noticed MISA's smile! Her smile on stage is rare and priceless😍

So , no comment on Akane’s drum solo?
Akane kills it as usually
Drum solo was cool. But bass is more my focus.
