この曲のインストゥルメンタル版を聞いて思い浮かぶのが文豪、宮沢賢治の小説「銀河鉄道の夜」です。 思い浮かんで来るのは無限の時空に浮かぶ巨大な銀河と星々の煌めきです。 無限に続く黒く透き通った時空の深さと果てしない時間と空間の営みや、 想像すらできない無限の巨大さと銀河を支配する無慈悲な物理の掟・・・ 人類の想像力など比較にすらならない巨大な重力のつながり・・・ この曲の歌詞には「銀河鉄道の夜」を思い浮かばせるような言葉は一つも見当たりません。 けれど、一度でも宮沢賢治の小説を読んだ人なら、このタイトルと音、歌詞から受ける印象は小説との深い繋がりです。 繋がりを連想させるのはタイトルのGiovanniという彼の国でありふれた名前だけです。 作曲を担当したKANAMIが銀河鉄道の夜を愛読していたのかは分かりません。 そして、作詞を担当した小鳩ミクもその事については同じです。 けれども、これほどに深く不気味で重く厳格な音が文豪の名作を想起させるのは偶然とは思えません。 ひとつだけ明確な事は、彼女達は文豪の描いた名作が伝えたかった事と同じインスピレーションを私に与えてくれているという事です。 それは、人間世界のちっぽけな営みや諍いなど比較にすらならない巨大で偉大な宇宙や銀河への憧憬や夢に違いないのです。 When I hear the instrumental version of this song, I think of the novel "Night on the Galactic Railroad" by the literary master Miyazawa Kenji. What the novel gives us is the glitter of a huge galaxy and stars floating in infinite space-time, the infinite depth of the black, transparent space-time and the endless play of time and space, the unimaginable vastness of infinity and the merciless laws of physics that govern the galaxy... Perhaps it is a connection of enormous gravity that cannot even be compared to the imagination of mankind... You won't find a single word in the lyrics of this song that reminds you of 'Night on the Galactic Railroad'. However, if you have read even one of Kenji Miyazawa's novels, the impression you get from the title, the sound and the lyrics is a deep connection with the novel. The only connection is evoked by the title, Giovanni, a common name in his country. It is not known whether KANAMI, who composed the music, was a fan of Night on the Galactic Railroad. And the same goes for Miku Kobato, who wrote the lyrics. But it can't be a coincidence that such a deep, eerie, heavy and austere sound evokes the masterpieces of the great writers. One thing is clear: they are giving me the same inspiration that the masterpieces of the great writers wanted to convey. It must be a longing and a dream for a huge, great universe and galaxy that cannot even be compared to the petty activities and quarrels of the human world.
And it's not even an instrumental. The only thing they did was to strip away the vocals. This is what Band-Maid sounds like without the vocals, totally amazing. No wonder I love them som much.
Love these white room performances! This is a new song when compared to the version with vocals! I can't imagine Miku being given this and told, okay, put vocals to it! But Miku delivered!
With the instruments only, you can clearly hear how progressive this song is. And all they did was to strip away the vocals, as the song is not an instrumental. They way Band-Maid compose and play their songs are truly amazing. Every Band-Maid song that I've heard (I have the instrumentals only version of Unseen World) easily stands on its own without the vocals. I love Band-Maid, they're totally awesome composers, players and performers. Add Saiki's and Miku's vocals..... totally amazing either way.
I saw this on bilibili after only knowing bandmaid for a short time and shared it with an Italian classical music critic I knew and he was "where the hell did you find this?!".
SO many people are sitting on a musical gold mine. Band Maid is waiting to be discovered...minds will be blown...mouths will hang open...a tear or two of joy will be shed...Amen

Prog Rock Maids, did I hear odd time signature? Then Heavy metal maid.... Big fan seen them live 3 times, not sure how I missed this gem. Thanks for posting.
So many thoughts and feelings are tumbling over each other right now... (1) How is MISA not in every list of "best rock bassists"? (I just watched a video with that title and none of the clips convinced me any of those men were in MISA's league.) (2) Imagine the courage of Kobato-san to calmly hold a guitar and strum it occasionally while standing between these masters. I would crumble under the weight of the comparison. (3) Other thoughts and feelings fled my mind while typing the above.
Western music press are afraid of the many great Japanese women playing, bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, sings, writes music and lyric on a level above most western bands today. And they form all girl bands that beat most male bands out there.
Thank you for your great reactions. This time, I'd like to ask for requests for BAND-MAID songs. I've responded to a lot of Japanese songs, so I think you'll like them.

Amazing music! Also fabulous video editing. I wonder how many takes were needed to get all the footage---some of the clips don't line up perfectly, but look great to watch.

これはバロック音楽のようです。
まるでビバルディの協奏曲のような構成と様式美を私は感じます。
ジャズのような即興性と独奏性を感じさせる音構成！
全員が主人公！そして全員が独奏者！そして全員が伴奏者！・・・
驚くばかりです。
実はボーカルですら楽器のひとつでしかなかったという驚くべき事実には驚嘆せざるを得ません。
こんな独創的で挑戦的な音楽を私は知りません。
Unseen Worldの中の傑作のひとつにして知られざる名曲！
完全に芸術の域に達している事を誰も否定できません。

The girls were beasts on this song, prob their best instrumental i've heard 🦍
And it's not even an instrumental. The only thing they did was to strip away the vocals. This is what Band-Maid sounds like without the vocals, totally amazing. No wonder I love them som much.
Prog-Maid🤘
I love Saiki"s camera work on this one!!!! ! 🕊🍌🍻☕ 🎥⚾
I don't see Saiki here 😄
@@instrumentalmaid that's because she's on camera
Master Sargeant said "smoke em if you got em" and Saikie said "brb".
Love these white room performances! This is a new song when compared to the version with vocals! I can't imagine Miku being given this and told, okay, put vocals to it! But Miku delivered!

01:26 this is the Band-Maid I live for: MISA & Akane playing two wildly different but complimentary lines.
Bass solo against syncopted drums... f##k...
まさに銀河鉄道の疾走する機関車のような演奏。

I used to edit consumer magazines bit of an obsession.

This one goes so hard. Would love to see this live along with Corallium (my personal favorite) and many other bangers!
Magnificent!
This track is so underrated
Thank you for your great reactions.
This time, I'd like to ask for requests for BAND-MAID songs.
I've responded to a lot of Japanese songs, so I think you'll like them.
