THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU for taking the time to give us lists, suggestions, and support with this video! We are excited to hear more Band-Maid and everyone else y’all have told us too react too! We hope to respond back to everyone appreciate taking the time to really help us navigate in this new realm! With our reactions, we have a list from older videos of suggestions that we try to do first, while adding a variety of music from the list. That way it’s never focused on 1 artist. So we promise we will react to everything given to us! We just need to go through and react to other videos suggested to us so it’s never just focused on 1 artist. We will be really busy with this amazing band and can’t wait to read everything given to us! Thank you all again!
Something I have seen before is having one particular day of the week or every 2 weeks dedicated to this new realm of music like Band-Maid Tuesdays or japanese metal bi-weekly spotlight. All depending on your upload schedule. That way you still have your regular content, and any new fans driven to the channel by this new content still have something to look forward to.
"An all female band to be doing music like this is really rare" Welcome to Japan! It is not Rare over there! Also, Kanami plays with perfect technique to prevent any wrist injury from what I can tell when watching her play. Stay Awesome LADIES! Can't wait for more BAND-MAID reactions!
I'm sure you know but she did suffer from tendonitis which was put down to her pick position in her fingers which she has now adjusted. If you watch the 2017 Shinkiba Studio Coast Concert (which I'm sure you have), she is strapped up from her knuckles to her elbow.
@@dicodec All of the Ladies will fix/change things when it causes them issues. Kanami's tendonitis, Saiki and Miku's voices, Akane's back injury, MISA's continuing issue with her left shoulder and forearm, which she has been working to lessen as an issue. Her basses are lighter than standard, she also uses a wide than normal strap and has a regimen before and after performances to warmup/cool down her shoulder and arm. The main issue facing them currently is Miku's high platform heels and her jumping in them.
I saw these ladies in concert a few weeks ago on their US Tour, It's likely the best concert I've ever been to and I've seen a lot of concerts and a lot of talented bands. This song is fairly straight forward, but they do have a lot of range in what they play in the rock spectrum. Some of their old greats are Real Existence, Dice and the song that kicked off their popularity back in 2014 ( Thrill )... Then some impressive mentions Blooming, Daydreaming, and if you want to get into some of their newer craziness: Unleash!!!!! and Influencer.
Ladies, never think "I couldn't do it". Miku Kobato (red rose, rythm guitar and backing vocals) only started guitar in her early 20s AFTER the beginning of the band! She's a really fine rythm guitarist now. You can do it too!
That Miku has a will of iron. Grande cajones. In a national poker tournament in Japan she came in 2nd in a field of hundreds and was highly pissed off she was not in 1st place.
Miku, who fired herself as lead singer of the band she founded when she decided her voice wasn't strong enough- and then went out and found her replacement. Will of iron, indeed.
Domination is a live staple, they ended every show of their just completed US tour with it, just a a fun middle of the road rock song for them. As fans of guitar hero you might want to check out their instrumentals - Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, Don't Be Long, Dawn Winery Theme and the instrumental version of Giovanni, it's on these few occasions that you get to see Kanami play extended lead work. You are right that they are not human, they are Rock'N'Roll Angels.
Saw them on their recent US tour in Dallas. Best concert, heck, event that I've ever been to. Two hours of my face hurting from smiling so much and my voice breaking from singing along.
Welcome to the pigeon-hole that goes by the name of 'Band-Maid'. 5 ultra-talented ladies who make music together for almost 10 years. So the fact that their catalog has plenty more in store is an understatement. You haven't even scratched the surface of what this, for many, best rock band of our time has to offer. :) There is a nice saying that you get to read here and there again and again. "America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it.", and since I've been turning my musical gaze towards the Far East for a few years now, I can only agree with that. Most will recommend 'Play' or 'Freedom' in their live versions at this point. I'll throw the live version of 'Real Existence' into the pot as well, and I recommend fastening your seatbelts beforehand. 🔥🤘🏻 Greetings from the German Maidiacs division. 🙋🏻♂ _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Welcome to the truly wonderful world of Band Maid. The band was formed in 2013 by Miku (rhythm guitar/lyrics/backing vocals), an 810 year old pigeon (this will make sense to you eventually). She had worked in a maid cafe at one point and wanted a band that would contrast the image of the maid with face-melting rock, or as they call it "The Gap". Once the band had formed (Kanami - lead guitar/composer, Misa-bass, Akane-drums) she decided that her voice wasn't right for what she wanted so they held tryouts and Saiki (vocals) joined the band. After that, Miku went to Kanami and asked her to teach her to play guitar so that she could add to the bands sound. They have a discography of over 100 songs and while I have favorites, I haven't actually heard a Band Maid song that I didn't enjoy. They just finished a US tour where they were seen by over 20,000 people (I was lucky enough to see them in San Diego!!) and opened for Guns n' Roses in Japan. They have a bunch of great videos you can see on their channel. Traditionally, people will try "Freedom" (LV), Play (LV) and Onset (LV - instrumental), though I'm a big fan of the more recent "Manners-Black Hole" (LV 2-fer) and Influencer (MV - their most recent release) to get a broader feel for their range of music. I can't wait to see your next Band Maid reaction!
It makes me so happy watching new Maidiacs being born!! 🤘😁🤘 Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the huge iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you hear from them and get to know them, the more you'll love 'em! I just saw them at Aftershock and in SF, both INCREDIBLE shows!! Some suggestions: Play, Freedom, Onset (instrumental), Real Existence, Puzzle - all Live, because that's when they really shine! (Best MV's: Blooming, Thrill, Daydreaming, The Non-Fiction Days, Dice, Unleash, Secret My Lips) Thanks!🤘🤩🤘
And the rest of the japanese metal/rock scene producing god tier music. Such as, Lovebytes, hanabie, sokoninaru, gacharic spin, aldious, passcode, wagakki band, bridebear, kyoshi, Maximum the hormone, kyoshi, and the list goes on...
This was song # 22 of 23 at their 2020 Shibuya concert so you definitely see their high energy. Check out BM's "Freedom" (2020 live), "Dice", "Onset", "Warning", ""Choose Me", "Influencer", "Alone", and "Real Existence".

This is a band you have to listen using good headphones or iems... Little details in their musics says how good they are, the guitar & bass basically shred throughout any songs they plays... Look from the old stuffs till the latest & see how they progress throughout 9 yrs playing together. And go to the channel Ohrenje to learn their histories & personalities unique to each one of them. If their persona won't catch you...nothing will from them.
That was awesome. This is one of those S-tiered bands we rarely see and wait till you get to see them off stage too. Plus a HUGE catalog. Many favorite bands have a handful of epic songs. This band has a handful of not epic songs out of over 100 and they LOVE to tour and fans, especially female fans and even more, female musician fans. If they see you in the audience, they will come and say hi. haha
You will always get a lot of views from us Maidiac as every day we look for new Band-Maid reviews So glad you enjoyed this video. FYi they formed on 2013 and,so far,have more than 130 songs in their catalog--not one bad song. Enjoy the journey.
I discovered Band Maid during the lockdown and now I own everything in their back catalogue going back to 2013. Awesome band and I haven't found a bad song yet from 9 albums / EPs worth of material, if you include their April Fools side project Band Maiko.
Yes, Band-Maid is an amazing rock band. Yes, they are human, and they have enough talent, personality and, humor to last a lifetime. Maybe try something a little more recent from their UA-cam page - you'll be surprised by them at every turn. They you'll be sad when you find out you just missed them in October when they played 14 cities in the US.
Welcome aboard, Brewsters. You are embarking on (along with many others - 157 million YT views 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 (124 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 - 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, About Us, 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 like Sense, 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 40 well produced music videos. ua-cam.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts: 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 (Full concerts from the last two songs are on bandmaidprime.tokyo and DVD/BD/CD) And some of the better quality 2022 US tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s one of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue: And by Wave Potter with their last 2022 US tour OKYU-JI concert in Chicago: ua-cam.com/video/R9BcFwZz3cc/v-deo.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, 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, 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 an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 28 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, 31 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, 31 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, 31 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, 30 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 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 2022 US tour just wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!!
Any official live video by Band Maid is epic. I saw them a few weeks ago in Phoenix and it was a great show. Dice, Manners, Onset, Freedom and Daydreaming are a good start.
Your reaction was so reminiscent of my first time seeing them. I didn't know there were groups like this out there. This live was from Feb 2020. I recommend Play Live next. It was right before this song...same concert. It also shows off their musicianship (killer extended intro) and has great crowd participation.
If this song blew your minds, get ready for a rabbit hole that is miles deep, where you'll continue to be blown away. I haven't seen a single song from them that's not great. A few suggestions: "Unleash!" (anime video) "Influencer" (Latest video) "Play" (Official Live) "Manners/Black Hole" (web live, from during the pandemic - no live audience but still great) "Daydreaming" (great ballad) All their stuff is awesome. You can't really make the mistake of picking a bad song because THERE AREN'T ANY.
THE best Rock band in existence. Think that's everything covered. PS If you don't know many all-female or female-led Rock and Metal bands, then there's a whole treasure chest of shining jewels making all the best music for the 21st century coming out of Japan. They are all top quality musicians, really outstanding, and are a lot less grumpy than the male Rock and Metal acts in the west. Try Nemophila, Babymetal or Lovebites to name but three and you'll see what I mean. And more Band-Maid, of course!
usualy a band need a "gate" song that people recomended but for this band people can find it themselves. 2 or 3 fav songs and then get addicted as they started to digest Band Maid Genre they called themselves as hard rock band but putting many elements in their songs so it never get bored. i think that is part of Jrock culture. top tear creativity composer, lyricist and ofc individual musical skill. idk if it is just me as a fan, i like them more than just their music and i think most of the other fans feel the same..? (hope so) sory for making a long unconfortable messy english comment they are the only band that im realy passionate about. hopely some people can listen to them with a new perspective and bring more joy with their music. i enjoy the reaction, thank you.
They’re right ladies, now you’ve gone and done it! I hope you don’t plan on listening to anything else for a while because you’ve just discovered the best damn rock band on the 🌎. They have a very deep and diverse catalog. They also put out new music like there is 72 hours in each one of their days. Get ready cause their fan base is massive and loyal. Welcome to the Maidiacs! Cheers from an old rocker in West Texas 😎🤘🏻
Here's a new word for you -- Sugoi (su-goy) It's Japanese for "amazing" or "wow". Remember it, because you'll be saying it every time you watch a BAND-MAID video. Which I feel like will be quite often after seeing this reaction. 😁
Saiki is like a dominatrix, she demands that the crowd respond to her commands. Saiki and MISA are the ones dressed in Gothic. Actually when the group began they all wore similar outfits, then as time went on Saiki and MISA turned Gothic on us. Most often MISA and Kanami are doing their solos at the same time. As usual Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!

I discovered this group a few years ago with their viral video Thrill which 9 or 10 years ago apparently saved them from being dropped by their record company. That led me to their official YT site and the fun of watching reactors like you discovering Band Maid. I’m almost 73 and have seen a lot of great concerts. In later years became disenchanted with popular music. Too much homogenization and music by committees. I loved this group but I was suspicious. I thought this was too good to be true. Today editing, dubbing is almost supernatural in power. Seemed fake to me. Don’t get me wrong I loved what I heard. This year they came to America so I flew down from Toronto to Houston then a week later to see the girls in New York. They are the real deal. I have everything they put out, imported vinyl were available. The live videos are better than the studio and the live concerts are better than the videos. Great improvisation note for note precision, enchanting humor and stage presence. I recommend just about anything live from their channel, Freedom for the drum solo, Onset for the instrumental, Dice a little harder, so many to chose from over 100 tracks. Best wishes hope you react to the Maids some more you were fun to watch.
Welcome aboard Ladies, the Band-Maid train is on a roll & it just gets better & better !! They have around a 130 song cataloge of mostly great songs but Beware of their Charm or you'll soon be a Maidiac !! 💯❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
LOL, your reaction is similar to many when they first hear Band Maid. I don’t know of a better rock band in the world right now. I saw them during their recent US tour and it was just an awesome show. Try “Manners/Black Hole live” (2 songs in 1 video) to hear more recent material, and 2 very different styles.
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
Here's your word ladies: AWESOMAZING!!!!! And if you continue with BAND-MAID you will need to come up with more new words because they are even more than Awesomazing! Peace. 2.85
Ladies, that's just Band-Maid, doing Band-Maid stuff. Hard to get used to, but that's just how good they are. Been said before, they are the best ROCK band on the planet today.
I will take a leap and assume we can now call you fans - or well on the way. Welcome aboard - this band is one of the best new things to happen to rock in the 21st Century. Roy G made some good suggestions if you want to explore Band-Maid a little - don't worry about running out of options, tho - they have well over 100 songs out there and most will say there's not a bad one on that list.
woov...got you. :-) Fasten your seat belts. You will be served by The Maids. They have over 100 songs in their repertoire, over 50 of them will become your favourites. The are incredibly talented, hardworking and egoless. Always the song that comes first.
The Asian Rock and Metal rabbit hole is deep, 😆 you can choose any song from that amazing women, they don‘t have bad songs. „Freedom“ live may be a good song to continue the BM journey.
Saw them in concert recently - super talented hard rockin' women that put on a fun high-energy show. Lot's of audience participation. Watch more and be amazed.
Over 100 on the Band Maid play list that I have heard so far. They never cease to amaze me. Given that you are more metal oriented, I would recommend the Manners/Black Hole pair of songs with About Us as a relaxing palette cleanser. All on their official channel. Welcome to the world of Band Maid!
I love your enthusiasm and enjoyment of this fucking awesome song! Make sure you take a Xanax before you tackle Onset or Manners, the official live versions, you think Domination is on fire Onset is legit going to fuck you up ladies! I am a man of the non Jessica Gao type , and I'm proud to rock my maid shit ANYWHERE and declare that these ladies make up my favorite band! Great reaction,- welcome to and shout out too the Band Maid fandom!
If you like this band LOVEBITES / Holy War [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020] [MV] NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION, Li-sa-X BAND - "Looking Up To You" (Official Music Video) Take My Chance/DOLL$BOXX, Show-Ya - Watashi Wa Arashi (Music Video), Princess Princess "19 GROWING UP -ode to my buddy-", 4 recent bands and 2 bands from 30 years ago, Copy the song name group name as it is, watch it on youtube. If you look at the level at that time 30 years ago, you can see why there are so many bands like this.
Great reaction, interesting "dynamic" between you ;-) Good to have you with us on this Journey. So I guess we will see more Band Maid in the future here!
Ouff if you’re going to enjoy yourself because there are 100+ songs and they are incredible musicians I saw them in Boston on October 29 and it was incredible
Welcome to Band-Maid, the best progressive hard rock band on the planet. You're got a real treat waiting for you. They have over 100+ songs and not one of them is bad. Great reaction!
A small pigeon found the spacey genius princess. The sweet spacey genius asked a hungry gorilla to come to lay down a jungle beat. The hungry gorilla brought the Barefoot Assassin into the group. When the wise pigeon wanted a bigger voice for the band she tricked the Ice Queen into joining a maid band. Almost 10 yrs this phenomenon has been rocking. Well over 100 songs. Their studio music videos are artistic and amazing but as good as they are LIVE is where it's at with BandMaid You are spoiled with high quality fan cams as they just finished their sold out USA tour. Excellent!
You just found one of the best rock/metal bands from Japan. Notice I say “one of” which means there are more, and most of them are all female. This niche is probably bigger in Japan than the entire rest of the world right now, mostly because you can still make a living making niche music in Japan. Other epic all female Japanese bands this good: Nemophila LOVEBITES Aldious Hanabie Lonesome_Blue Trident Fate Gear Ghacharic Spin There are many, many more, but for the sake of quality first… If you want some meaning to your lyrics the prize is shared between Nemophila (Dissension is pure modern day social commentary) and Hanabie who are all about the struggles of growing up as a young woman in modern Japan. Hanabie are Harajukucore. They are world beating metal in 2022, their song “We Love Sweets” usually makes for a priceless reaction.
I swear to God I have never double commented on ANY video on UA-cam ever! But I fucking love Band Maid, I found and fell in love with the band based off two REACTION videos I saw like 8 months ago, and I love doing my own reactions and watching and enjoying one's like yours, but although you both were great, the very chill and attractive young lady on the left and her energy and clear physical enjoyment during Domination, and those like " holy shit " facial expressions lol just did it for me. Like you two ladies made my day and I certainly subbed you and I'm sure all of the other BM fandom folks in here will sub you as well because that's what we do. Band Maid fans are mostly all kind and respectful people.
They've been together 10 years. Have multiple albums. Have turned Europe Asia and the United States multiple times, just finished 2022 USA tour last week. I saw them Dallas. You're talking about him like wow they're so good, I just discovered them, let me react. All these reaction videos playing their music should be hit with a copyright infringement violation.
Nemophila is an all female, Japanese metal band that is uber talented. I'm sure you would love them. Also, Lovebites is seriously freaking talented as well.
Band-Maid have over 100 songs and there are no bad ones. Pick anything, but live is where they shine brightest. Then give a listen to other Japanese bands like LoveBites, Nemophila, Hagane, Aldious, Bridear, Fate Gear, Hanabie, Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Gacharic Spin, Whiskey Dust, and Wagakki Band, just to name a few. Happy listening!
Yup, sounds about right 👍! I'd just toss in Skandal, Trident, Iron Bunny, Mary's Blood and Glim Spanky for good measure. Among all of that musical greatness (and they are great bands with great music) It's my humble opinion that Band-Maid stands apart as truly special. Welcome to the Pigeon Hole Brewsters, see you at the bottom PO!
i will give you 6 bands you should react the next 4 is japanese metal bands Lovebites Scream For Me daughters of the dawn live tokyo 2019, Nemophila Rise Music Video, Crystal Lake Apollo Music Video and Hanabe We Love Sweets, the next band is Ukranian Jinjer Pieses Live Session and the last one is from boston Seven Spires Gods of Debaunchery Music Video please let me know what you think
Welcome to the fandom! These gals are awesome! Seen them play in Philly. Best concert ever! I suggest these Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Blooming & No God
Ahhh our wonderful Maids, awesome band, such talent coming out of Japan atm, especially the all female groups (must be something in the water over there) have you heard of Nemophila? If you like you metal with a touch of punk/hard rock then you should check them out ❤️🤘🤘🤘
THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU for taking the time to give us lists, suggestions, and support with this video! We are excited to hear more Band-Maid and everyone else y’all have told us too react too! We hope to respond back to everyone appreciate taking the time to really help us navigate in this new realm! With our reactions, we have a list from older videos of suggestions that we try to do first, while adding a variety of music from the list. That way it’s never focused on 1 artist. So we promise we will react to everything given to us! We just need to go through and react to other videos suggested to us so it’s never just focused on 1 artist. We will be really busy with this amazing band and can’t wait to read everything given to us! Thank you all again!
Something I have seen before is having one particular day of the week or every 2 weeks dedicated to this new realm of music like Band-Maid Tuesdays or japanese metal bi-weekly spotlight. All depending on your upload schedule. That way you still have your regular content, and any new fans driven to the channel by this new content still have something to look forward to.
We’re waiting for more….
"An all female band to be doing music like this is really rare" Welcome to Japan! It is not Rare over there!
Also, Kanami plays with perfect technique to prevent any wrist injury from what I can tell when watching her play.
Stay Awesome LADIES! Can't wait for more BAND-MAID reactions!
I'm sure you know but she did suffer from tendonitis which was put down to her pick position in her fingers which she has now adjusted. If you watch the 2017 Shinkiba Studio Coast Concert (which I'm sure you have), she is strapped up from her knuckles to her elbow.
@@edwardallen4051 Ahh yea thanks for the reminder but she definitely fixed how she plays now! Good point!
Hey, Alan!
@@dicodec All of the Ladies will fix/change things when it causes them issues. Kanami's tendonitis, Saiki and Miku's voices, Akane's back injury, MISA's continuing issue with her left shoulder and forearm, which she has been working to lessen as an issue. Her basses are lighter than standard, she also uses a wide than normal strap and has a regimen before and after performances to warmup/cool down her shoulder and arm.
The main issue facing them currently is Miku's high platform heels and her jumping in them.
@@dicodec Special Guest Apperance by Alan...the guy whose back of the head was immortalized by Ron's video at the BAND-MAID live. 🙂
These ladies Rock! In my opinion, they are the best band in the world.
your opinion could be fact, in my opinion 😀😀
The difference between opinion and facts is multiple Band Maid videos.
I saw these ladies in concert a few weeks ago on their US Tour, It's likely the best concert I've ever been to and I've seen a lot of concerts and a lot of talented bands. This song is fairly straight forward, but they do have a lot of range in what they play in the rock spectrum. Some of their old greats are Real Existence, Dice and the song that kicked off their popularity back in 2014 ( Thrill )... Then some impressive mentions Blooming, Daydreaming, and if you want to get into some of their newer craziness: Unleash!!!!! and Influencer.
I hope to see them when they come to the US again, hopefully they'll be in Denver or Kansas City, or hell even Tulsa.
Ladies, never think "I couldn't do it". Miku Kobato (red rose, rythm guitar and backing vocals) only started guitar in her early 20s AFTER the beginning of the band! She's a really fine rythm guitarist now. You can do it too!
That Miku has a will of iron. Grande cajones. In a national poker tournament in Japan she came in 2nd in a field of hundreds and was highly pissed off she was not in 1st place.
Miku, who fired herself as lead singer of the band she founded when she decided her voice wasn't strong enough- and then went out and found her replacement. Will of iron, indeed.
Amen. I started bass guitar when I was 61 years old. 5 years ago.
Just saw them live in Chicago, 2 weeks ago 😁 Best show I have ever seen. Welcome to Band-Maid. The best band in the world!
Too right they are.
Caught their show in Phoenix with 500 close friends. What a treat!
New Jersey here. Flew a couple thousand miles to see them and it was an amazing show. Definitely worth it!
I was there. Caught a flight at 4:30 am to see them with a wedding the night before. Well worth. Best concert I've been to.
I was in Chicago too, what a great show
Domination is a live staple, they ended every show of their just completed US tour with it, just a a fun middle of the road rock song for them. As fans of guitar hero you might want to check out their instrumentals - Onset, From Now On, Without Holding Back, Don't Be Long, Dawn Winery Theme and the instrumental version of Giovanni, it's on these few occasions that you get to see Kanami play extended lead work. You are right that they are not human, they are Rock'N'Roll Angels.
Saw them on their recent US tour in Dallas. Best concert, heck, event that I've ever been to. Two hours of my face hurting from smiling so much and my voice breaking from singing along.
Welcome to the pigeon-hole that goes by the name of 'Band-Maid'. 5 ultra-talented ladies who make music together for almost 10 years. So the fact that their catalog has plenty more in store is an understatement. You haven't even scratched the surface of what this, for many, best rock band of our time has to offer. :) There is a nice saying that you get to read here and there again and again. "America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it.", and since I've been turning my musical gaze towards the Far East for a few years now, I can only agree with that.
Most will recommend 'Play' or 'Freedom' in their live versions at this point. I'll throw the live version of 'Real Existence' into the pot as well, and I recommend fastening your seatbelts beforehand. 🔥🤘🏻
Greetings from the German Maidiacs division. 🙋🏻♂

「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Welcome to the truly wonderful world of Band Maid. The band was formed in 2013 by Miku (rhythm guitar/lyrics/backing vocals), an 810 year old pigeon (this will make sense to you eventually). She had worked in a maid cafe at one point and wanted a band that would contrast the image of the maid with face-melting rock, or as they call it "The Gap". Once the band had formed (Kanami - lead guitar/composer, Misa-bass, Akane-drums) she decided that her voice wasn't right for what she wanted so they held tryouts and Saiki (vocals) joined the band. After that, Miku went to Kanami and asked her to teach her to play guitar so that she could add to the bands sound. They have a discography of over 100 songs and while I have favorites, I haven't actually heard a Band Maid song that I didn't enjoy.
They just finished a US tour where they were seen by over 20,000 people (I was lucky enough to see them in San Diego!!) and opened for Guns n' Roses in Japan. They have a bunch of great videos you can see on their channel. Traditionally, people will try "Freedom" (LV), Play (LV) and Onset (LV - instrumental), though I'm a big fan of the more recent "Manners-Black Hole" (LV 2-fer) and Influencer (MV - their most recent release) to get a broader feel for their range of music.
I can't wait to see your next Band Maid reaction!
Seeing people become band maid fans for the first time never gets old.
It makes me so happy watching new Maidiacs being born!! 🤘😁🤘
Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the huge iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you hear from them and get to know them, the more you'll love 'em! I just saw them at Aftershock and in SF, both INCREDIBLE shows!!
Some suggestions: Play, Freedom, Onset (instrumental), Real Existence, Puzzle - all Live, because that's when they really shine! (Best MV's: Blooming, Thrill, Daydreaming, The Non-Fiction Days, Dice, Unleash, Secret My Lips)
Thanks!🤘🤩🤘
Me too as well as new people discovering Babymetal.
And Nemophila 👌
And the rest of the japanese metal/rock scene producing god tier music. Such as, Lovebytes, hanabie, sokoninaru, gacharic spin, aldious, passcode, wagakki band, bridebear, kyoshi, Maximum the hormone, kyoshi, and the list goes on...
@@jpineda0527 yes!!!
Band-Maid just finished their US tour and headed back to Japan to open for Guns N' Roses.
They’re amazing live! They just wrapped up their recent US tour. I highly recommend seeing them next time 👍
This was song # 22 of 23 at their 2020 Shibuya concert so you definitely see their high energy. Check out BM's "Freedom" (2020 live), "Dice", "Onset", "Warning", ""Choose Me", "Influencer", "Alone", and "Real Existence".
Yes, the stunned silenced happened to us all at one point! 😮
Congratulations on finding the band many of us Masters & Princesses believe is the best on planet earth 🌍 today!!
Welcome to the Pigeon the Hole that is Band-Maid!! 🕊😂
They just completed a short US Tour…! 😢
They are a remarkable collection of five incredible musicians and performers that know few genre limitations and always put a smile on the faces of their audience when performing a “Service”.
They have 100+ fantastic songs and should be playing stadiums all over the world, imho.
They have great MV’s, both studio and live, on their official channel. Next, to see how far they’ve come, I’d recommend you jump several years forward from this 2018 song to their most recent release from last week for
- “Influencer” - official MV
I think you’ll like it and be blown away again. Then dozens of songs - everything is good and many are great!
Try
- “Freedom” - official live video
- “Dice” - official MV
- “After Life” - official MV
- “Unleash!!!!!” - official MV
- “Manners / Black Hole” - official live video
- “No God” - official live video
- “Sayonkadori” - official acoustic live video
The list goes on and on and on…

Thank you for sharing! This helps us out!
Welcome to BAND-MAID. You've opened up a can of worms here. The phenom that is BAND-MAID.
Next song should be "Play" by Band-maid Live video (same concert) !!!
This is a band you have to listen using good headphones or iems... Little details in their musics says how good they are, the guitar & bass basically shred throughout any songs they plays... Look from the old stuffs till the latest & see how they progress throughout 9 yrs playing together. And go to the channel Ohrenje to learn their histories & personalities unique to each one of them. If their persona won't catch you...nothing will from them.
Maid in Japan
Actually the best Hard Rock band in the world. *Really.*
💯% agree 🤙🏼
We got ourself, atleast one, new maidiac here.😂 Welcome
That was awesome. This is one of those S-tiered bands we rarely see and wait till you get to see them off stage too. Plus a HUGE catalog. Many favorite bands have a handful of epic songs. This band has a handful of not epic songs out of over 100 and they LOVE to tour and fans, especially female fans and even more, female musician fans. If they see you in the audience, they will come and say hi. haha
💯% agree 🤙🏼
5 brilliant musicians with talent off he scale. This is the best rock band in the world lead by a genius lead guitar/composer.
You will always get a lot of views from us Maidiac as every day we look for new Band-Maid reviews So glad you enjoyed this video. FYi they formed on 2013 and,so far,have more than 130 songs in their catalog--not one bad song. Enjoy the journey.
I discovered Band Maid during the lockdown and now I own everything in their back catalogue going back to 2013. Awesome band and I haven't found a bad song yet from 9 albums / EPs worth of material, if you include their April Fools side project Band Maiko.
Women in Japanese rock and metal are absolute monsters. The whole Japanese music scene is tragically underrated, IMO.
Yes, Band-Maid is an amazing rock band. Yes, they are human, and they have enough talent, personality and, humor to last a lifetime. Maybe try something a little more recent from their UA-cam page - you'll be surprised by them at every turn. They you'll be sad when you find out you just missed them in October when they played 14 cities in the US.
Welcome aboard, Brewsters. You are embarking on (along with many others - 157 million YT views 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 (124 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 - 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, About Us, 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 like Sense, 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 40 well produced music videos. ua-cam.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
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 (Full concerts from the last two songs are on bandmaidprime.tokyo and DVD/BD/CD)
And some of the better quality 2022 US tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s one of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:
And by Wave Potter with their last 2022 US tour OKYU-JI concert in Chicago: ua-cam.com/video/R9BcFwZz3cc/v-deo.html
If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, 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, 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 an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 28 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, 31 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, 31 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, 31 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, 30 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 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 2022 US tour just wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!!
Any official live video by Band Maid is epic. I saw them a few weeks ago in Phoenix and it was a great show. Dice, Manners, Onset, Freedom and Daydreaming are a good start.
Welcome to the "Wonderful" World of Band-Maid!
Your reaction was so reminiscent of my first time seeing them. I didn't know there were groups like this out there.
This live was from Feb 2020. I recommend Play Live next. It was right before this song...same concert. It also shows off their musicianship (killer extended intro) and has great crowd participation.
Nother good, and there are many , hot performance. These girl can jam to the max. FREEDOM live is killer for drumming too.
You two are a breathe of fresh air. Always love seeing first reactions to Band Maid. Enjoy the ride, all their songs are good.
I just saw them during their US Tour and they were even better in person. They have a large catalog that I am sure you will enjoy. have a great one!
Simply the best live rock band on the planet.
If this song blew your minds, get ready for a rabbit hole that is miles deep, where you'll continue to be blown away. I haven't seen a single song from them that's not great. A few suggestions:
"Unleash!" (anime video)
"Influencer" (Latest video)
"Play" (Official Live)
"Manners/Black Hole" (web live, from during the pandemic - no live audience but still great)
"Daydreaming" (great ballad)
All their stuff is awesome. You can't really make the mistake of picking a bad song because THERE AREN'T ANY.
THE best Rock band in existence. Think that's everything covered. PS If you don't know many all-female or female-led Rock and Metal bands, then there's a whole treasure chest of shining jewels making all the best music for the 21st century coming out of Japan. They are all top quality musicians, really outstanding, and are a lot less grumpy than the male Rock and Metal acts in the west. Try Nemophila, Babymetal or Lovebites to name but three and you'll see what I mean. And more Band-Maid, of course!
This show was a 23-song show and this one is one of the last song, so they were not wear out.
🤙🏼
Will not be your fist jaw drop--truly an amazing band. They just wrapped up a US tour, so you can check out hours of fancam.
usualy a band need a "gate" song that people recomended
but for this band people can find it themselves.
2 or 3 fav songs and then get addicted as they started to digest Band Maid Genre
they called themselves as hard rock band but putting many elements in their songs so it never get bored. i think that is part of Jrock culture.
top tear creativity
composer, lyricist and ofc individual musical skill.
idk if it is just me as a fan, i like them more than just their music and i think most of the other fans feel the same..? (hope so)
sory for making a long unconfortable messy english comment
they are the only band that im realy passionate about. hopely some people can listen to them with a new perspective and bring more joy with their music.
i enjoy the reaction, thank you.
Love the banter you ladies have with each other.
They’re right ladies, now you’ve gone and done it! I hope you don’t plan on listening to anything else for a while because you’ve just discovered the best damn rock band on the 🌎. They have a very deep and diverse catalog. They also put out new music like there is 72 hours in each one of their days.
Get ready cause their fan base is massive and loyal. Welcome to the Maidiacs! Cheers from an old rocker in West Texas 😎🤘🏻
Hahahah we usually go in order of suggestions so when we watch them again we can’t wait!
Here's a new word for you -- Sugoi (su-goy) It's Japanese for "amazing" or "wow".
Remember it, because you'll be saying it every time you watch a BAND-MAID video. Which I feel like will be quite often after seeing this reaction. 😁
Thank you for teaching us that! We will definitely need to use this watching them in the future!
And the legacy of Saiki sensei's Japanese Lesson time lives on 😂
🤙🏼
Saiki is like a dominatrix, she demands that the crowd respond to her commands. Saiki and MISA are the ones dressed in Gothic. Actually when the group began they all wore similar outfits, then as time went on Saiki and MISA turned Gothic on us. Most often MISA and Kanami are doing their solos at the same time. As usual Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!
🤙🏼

You have found the best there is today, welcome aboard, po!
Go to their UA-cam channel and pick one...your right they kick ass
they don't have bad songs, each one fights to be better than the other... Thrill, Freedom, Onset, from now one, Play. Moratorium.etc etc..
This is a band that we don’t understand a word they are saying, well, English line once in a while, but they really rock hard. Love BandMaid!
I discovered this group a few years ago with their viral video Thrill which 9 or 10 years ago apparently saved them from being dropped by their record company. That led me to their official YT site and the fun of watching reactors like you discovering Band Maid. I’m almost 73 and have seen a lot of great concerts. In later years became disenchanted with popular music. Too much homogenization and music by committees. I loved this group but I was suspicious. I thought this was too good to be true. Today editing, dubbing is almost supernatural in power. Seemed fake to me. Don’t get me wrong I loved what I heard. This year they came to America so I flew down from Toronto to Houston then a week later to see the girls in New York. They are the real deal. I have everything they put out, imported vinyl were available. The live videos are better than the studio and the live concerts are better than the videos. Great improvisation note for note precision, enchanting humor and stage presence. I recommend just about anything live from their channel, Freedom for the drum solo, Onset for the instrumental, Dice a little harder, so many to chose from over 100 tracks. Best wishes hope you react to the Maids some more you were fun to watch.
Welcome aboard Ladies, the Band-Maid train is on a roll & it just gets better & better !! They have around a 130 song cataloge of mostly great songs but Beware of their Charm or you'll soon be a Maidiac !! 💯❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Any other song...you have over 120 songs to choose from.
New Maidiac alert welcome to the best fandom for the best band, enjoy the ride.
LOL, your reaction is similar to many when they first hear Band Maid. I don’t know of a better rock band in the world right now. I saw them during their recent US tour and it was just an awesome show. Try “Manners/Black Hole live” (2 songs in 1 video) to hear more recent material, and 2 very different styles.
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.)
Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄
The best band in the world 🎎🤘🎎🤘
Here's your word ladies: AWESOMAZING!!!!! And if you continue with BAND-MAID you will need to come up with more new words because they are even more than Awesomazing! Peace. 2.85
@P in D² There you go. Keep'em coming P in D. We'll have our own Band-Maid dictionary soon. 🤣
Ladies, that's just Band-Maid, doing Band-Maid stuff. Hard to get used to, but that's just how good they are. Been said before, they are the best ROCK band on the planet today.
I will take a leap and assume we can now call you fans - or well on the way. Welcome aboard - this band is one of the best new things to happen to rock in the 21st Century. Roy G made some good suggestions if you want to explore Band-Maid a little - don't worry about running out of options, tho - they have well over 100 songs out there and most will say there's not a bad one on that list.
" I love cleaning" 😂
Please do more Band Maid.
If you like these lyrics, you will like their song Dice.
woov...got you. :-)
Fasten your seat belts. You will be served by The Maids.
They have over 100 songs in their repertoire, over 50 of them will become your favourites.
The are incredibly talented, hardworking and egoless. Always the song that comes first.
So you finally met the Maids. Imagine composing and performing about a hundred songs all of this caliber.
The Asian Rock and Metal rabbit hole is deep, 😆 you can choose any song from that amazing women, they don‘t have bad songs. „Freedom“ live may be a good song to continue the BM journey.
Saw them in concert recently - super talented hard rockin' women that put on a fun high-energy show. Lot's of audience participation. Watch more and be amazed.
Over 100 on the Band Maid play list that I have heard so far. They never cease to amaze me. Given that you are more metal oriented, I would recommend the Manners/Black Hole pair of songs with About Us as a relaxing palette cleanser. All on their official channel.

If you look at the level at that time 30 years ago, you can see why there are so many bands like this.
They are, simply the best.
How do resist just turning and slapping your friend 😂
BAND-MAIDの音楽はすべて素晴らしい！１つ１つの曲に全力であることが聴くとわかります。他の曲のリアクションもしてほしいです。外国の方がどのように感じるのか見ていて楽しいです＾＾
These ladies put us western boys to shame and I couldn't be more for it, they're the future
Band-Maid joy in the form of awesome rock music.
Thank you for stepping into the Band Maid wormhole - your universe just got an upgrade!
Great reaction, interesting "dynamic" between you ;-)
Good to have you with us on this Journey. So I guess we will see more Band Maid in the future here!
Thank you!!! We can’t wait to hear more!
Hi girls..my I suggest..blooming for your next Band Maid song..😉
The power of The Maids. Welcome to the Pigeon Hole. It's an AMAZING journey! Us Maidiacs look forward to taking it with you. 🕊
Ouff if you’re going to enjoy yourself because there are 100+ songs and they are incredible musicians I saw them in Boston on October 29 and it was incredible
You need to watch band maid san Francisco live from now on. great video
Welcome to Band-Maid, the best progressive hard rock band on the planet. You're got a real treat waiting for you. They have over 100+ songs and not one of them is bad. Great reaction!
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
A small pigeon found the spacey genius princess. The sweet spacey genius asked a hungry gorilla to come to lay down a jungle beat. The hungry gorilla brought the Barefoot Assassin into the group. When the wise pigeon wanted a bigger voice for the band she tricked the Ice Queen into joining a maid band. Almost 10 yrs this phenomenon has been rocking. Well over 100 songs. Their studio music videos are artistic and amazing but as good as they are LIVE is where it's at with BandMaid
You are spoiled with high quality fan cams as they just finished their sold out USA tour. Excellent!
You just found one of the best rock/metal bands from Japan. Notice I say “one of” which means there are more, and most of them are all female. This niche is probably bigger in Japan than the entire rest of the world right now, mostly because you can still make a living making niche music in Japan.
Other epic all female Japanese bands this good:
Nemophila
LOVEBITES
Aldious
Hanabie
Lonesome_Blue
Trident
Fate Gear
Ghacharic Spin
There are many, many more, but for the sake of quality first… If you want some meaning to your lyrics the prize is shared between Nemophila (Dissension is pure modern day social commentary) and Hanabie who are all about the struggles of growing up as a young woman in modern Japan. Hanabie are Harajukucore. They are world beating metal in 2022, their song “We Love Sweets” usually makes for a priceless reaction.
Welcome to the Band-Maid rabbit hole. You won’t be disappointed.
welcome to the pigeon hole. \m/
I swear to God I have never double commented on ANY video on UA-cam ever! But I fucking love Band Maid, I found and fell in love with the band based off two REACTION videos I saw like 8 months ago, and I love doing my own reactions and watching and enjoying one's like yours, but although you both were great, the very chill and attractive young lady on the left and her energy and clear physical enjoyment during Domination, and those like " holy shit " facial expressions lol just did it for me. Like you two ladies made my day and I certainly subbed you and I'm sure all of the other BM fandom folks in here will sub you as well because that's what we do. Band Maid fans are mostly all kind and respectful people.
Thank you so much! They are definitely jaw dropping to watch!
Welcome to BandMaid, ladies! One song down, about 115 more to go.
They've been together 10 years. Have multiple albums. Have turned Europe Asia and the United States multiple times, just finished 2022 USA tour last week. I saw them Dallas. You're talking about him like wow they're so good, I just discovered them, let me react. All these reaction videos playing their music should be hit with a copyright infringement violation.
Nemophila is an all female, Japanese metal band that is uber talented. I'm sure you would love them.
Also, Lovebites is seriously freaking talented as well.
Band-Maid DICE music video next let's go
If you'd like to see their drummer at her best checkout the live version of Freedom.
Band-Maid have over 100 songs and there are no bad ones. Pick anything, but live is where they shine brightest. Then give a listen to other Japanese bands like LoveBites, Nemophila, Hagane, Aldious, Bridear, Fate Gear, Hanabie, Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Gacharic Spin, Whiskey Dust, and Wagakki Band, just to name a few. Happy listening!
Yup, sounds about right 👍! I'd just toss in Skandal, Trident, Iron Bunny, Mary's Blood and Glim Spanky for good measure. Among all of that musical greatness (and they are great bands with great music) It's my humble opinion that Band-Maid stands apart as truly special.
Welcome to the Pigeon Hole Brewsters, see you at the bottom PO!
