Hey all sorry for the slight camera freezes in the video. for some reason Streamlabs did not like me this morning and I can not reshoot blind reactions so I had to keep it the way it was in order to preserve the raw reaction. I hope you all understand and still enjoy the video.
A lot of this kind of software does not like when you hover your pointer over certain areas. I have seen it quite a few times in reactions and that seems to be what people are saying causes the stuttering freezes.
All five ladies are actually in maid outfits, but they represent different kinds of maids. Miku (red rose) and Kanami (lead guitar) are in traditional western style maid outfits. Drummer Akane is, too, but her maid uniform is customized to be more sleek, due in part to her need for more freedom of movement as a drummer. MISA (bass) is in a stylized "assassin maid" costume, and lead singer Saiki is in a customized outfit that is meant to resemble a governess style uniform.
I'm in Seattle as we speak ( so to speak ) to see Band-Maid, it's 2:32 show starts at 8:00, VIP check in starts at 6:00. I,ll try to post some videos ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎👌
I saw Band-Maid and The Warning last Sunday at the AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL ! They met each other and did some pictures together =) Band-Maid is a Hard Rock Band but they do play Metal , Punk , Pop and just about anything ! They always sound great when performing live ! Some suggestions "Domination" Official Live or "Real Existence" Live !!!!! Great Reaction
I’m 56 years old… long time Rock/Metal fan… and I can say, even compared to all the bands I’ve heard in that time, Band Maid is still one of the “select few” as you say. They are not only a great hard rock band but are extremely versatile, prolific, and consistent. Their entire catalog is devoid of bad songs. Hell, there aren’t even any “meh” songs… and there are bands I’ve loved for decades that I can’t say that about! I’m seeing them here in MD on the 25th and I can’t wait!
Band-Maid fans notice a lot of hidden clues in this video. The one that's most poignant to me is at 3:20 where Miku is shown (Alone) in the original 2015 video Thrill where she couldn't play guitar at that point and to reflect on how far she has come since then. Also At 4:48 Kanami with hearts around her when she's close with Saiki since every fan knows that Kanami is in love with Saiki.
Hey Sycho, this is the only anime MV from the band (we are hoping for more). But they have done several songs for anime and esports events. They are in their 10th year with a catalog of over 120 songs. Not a bad one in the bunch. They shine brightest Live so check out: DOMINATION-LIVE, ONSET-LIVE (awesome instrumental), PLAY-LIVE. As we speak they are here in the US on tour thru the end of the month. You'll be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable and rockin current ROCK band. The lead singer is Saiki (psyche) Sycho so beware. BAND-MAID are Awesome so double beware. Peace. 1.97
I feel like Miku would find your initial assessment of their outfits hilarious lol. Hope you check out more of the maids man! Domination live is a great place to start as I'm sure many have said already
The main difference of course between Baby Metal and the Maids is the fact that Band-Maid play their instruments. Wait until you get a bass solo from MISA. Aftershock last Sunday in Seattle tonight.
I caught them in Dallas this month and stood in front of Misa the whole show. That woman is nasty with the bass. Literally watched her do the pick palm tuck live and it's still unbelievable.
Hey bro! Now that you finally checked out Band-Maid. This is one of there newest singles. Go back and check out their very first video called Thrill. That song and video literally saved the band from being split up by their label. Kick ass tune bro and the main riff is muah chefs kiss
Brother....let me just say that your first impression of this band will change again and again. Madiacs call this going into the "pigeon hole". You really have no idea of what these ladies bring to the music world. IMO (and hundreds of thousands more) believe Band-Maid is "THE" hardest working, best sounding, completely surprising band in the world today. Every time they release a new track everybody (that is familiar with Band Maid) feels like its Christmas because we never know what is about to be heard but also know its going to be VERY good. Band Maid is a genre. You'll understand after you get to know this band. They have over 100+ tracks to choose from and its hard for me to pick what you should hear next because they are all good and more than half of them are GREAT. Moratorium Live, Influencer (from Unleash album), Domination Live, Warning, Thrill (first MV by Band Maid), and Puzzle, ....and on and on and on. Even if you dont do more than a couple of their tracks, do yourself a favor and check these ladies out. Song writing and musicianship is off the charts. Im 63 yo guitarist whos been there and done that and lost interest in the music scene until I heard BAND-MAID 3 years ago. They actually gave me back that spark thats been missing for quite a while. No doubt these ladies will have the world applauding in the near future. History is happening.
The last band I saw live was The Warning and the next band I'll see is Band-Maid 😀 You are going to love Band-Maid. Domination (official live video) is probably the best next reaction. Since you mentioned that you love animation, have you seen Animosity by The Warning?
Welcome aboard, Kris. You are embarking on (along with many others - 150 million YT views plus over 30 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 with their new album “Unleash” dropping September 21, 2022), 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 later songs from albums 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 on February 14th “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 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues: Taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: ua-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/v-deo.html And by JOSER8845 in LA: ua-cam.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/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, 30 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, 29 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 Got your tickets yet? BAND-MAID's 14 gig USA tour is all but SOLD OUT! HOWEVER, they just added two more venues in New Jersey Oct. 30 (4,000 seats), and Chicago, Nov. 1. And the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 may still have tickets. Check Ticketmaster and Band-Maid’s website quickly!
Hi, I'm also in Canada. I'd suggest you look at their latest MV called Influencer. You'll love it, and since they're playing it on their currently-ongoing US tour, you should be able to find yourself some fan cams of them playing it live to watch on your own (or react to with us, as you wish...)..
Nice reaction…I’m from Montreal and I can confirm that Band-Maid is the real thing..I saw them twice in NYC in 2019 and they blew me away.. at the end of this month 28 & 29 they are playing in NYC and Boston…and I will be there again! Thank you…Peace & Respect from 🇨🇦 Suggestion songs from Band-Maid…Domination (live), Freedom (live), Bubble, Clang, Play (any version), Daydreaming (mv) and Onset (instrumental)
I would suggest you review their newest release "Influencer" from the same Unleash EP. It is the culmination of what is great about the band of incredible gifted women.
In the past I would say go watch DOMINATION - Live, but "Influencer" is so good, and it really shows where their music is today, as it has evolved. So agree watch "Influencer"
🐦 *Sycho Nation* 🐦 Welcome to the world of *BAND-MAID* (2013 - Present) A group of 5 young ladies from Japan that will rock your world: *Miku Kobato* (Kuruppo) = Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar *(Po!)* *Saiki Atsumi* (Sai-Chan) = Lead Vocals *Kanami Tono* (Kanamincho) = Lead Guitarist *Akane Hirose* (A-Chan) = Drummer *MISA* (MISA, MISA, MISA) = Bassist If you wish to continue down this Pigeon Hole 😊 *(Po!)* You will embark in 40+ great music videos or live videos.

So there is a lot going on in the animation that's there for the maidiacs (hard core fans) each maid as they are introduced is from the set of a different MV. lots of other easter eggs I'll leave for others or you to find on your own. Seeing them live in less then 8 hours and I am so damn excited! Great reaction!
Thx for the reaction. This band will blow your mind. They have a ridiculously great catalog - the kind you can spend months lost in and wonder why you'd never heard of them before. Too many songs to recommend, but I'll start with their most recent instrumental called "From Now On." You'll love it (even without vocals).
Where in Canada are you? Band-Maid is playing in Seattle tonight. They'll play New York and Boston on the 28th and 29th, and Chicago on Nov. 1st (they're playing other places in between; those are closest to Canada). Other Band-Maid songs? Really almost anything. Everybody will suggest their live performances (Onset, Domination, Freedom, Real Existence) but they have some really good videos too (Dice, Blooming, Rinne) and from Unseen World (2021) (Manners, Warning! and After Life.) Band-Maid has been getting more progressive over the last couple of albums. There seems to be a lot of overlap between fans of The Warning and Band-Maid (and Rush, for that matter). Other Japanese bands you should check out: Nemophila, Asterism, or Hanabie. There's a great scene going on over there.
BM has gone through a bunch of phases of their battle armor, this is actually the debut of their latest versions, so special attention is paid to show that here.
This is different from Lovebites right? They'll offer so much more, something different all the time. Lovebites is another standout band along with Nemophila. You'll soon realise that Band-Maid isn't pure metal, pure hard rock, pure prog either. They incorporate all the different elements together seemlessly in a song. Even if your favourite band is Lovebites, Band-Maid is a whole new experience. You'll never get bored listening to them. Fun journey guaranteed. Thanks man!
Songs to try - well they have over 100+. Go for Influencer MV, Play Live, Blooming MV, Domination Live or Black Hole Live (their fastest). You can’t make a bad pick with this band.
Welcome to the pigeon-hole of Band-Maid! You are a metal, anime and games nerd? Then I promise you that you will have a lot of fun with these amazing ladies. Their outfits generally have something of an anime vibe, I think, and their sound speaks for itself. And as for games, just a few days ago they participated in the Genshin Concert 2022 and brilliantly covered the 'Dawn Winery Theme' there. So yes, they cover all these fields. :) My recommendation? Definitely a live performance, and I would say 'Real Existence' might suit your taste. It's a song from their earlier days (they started in 2013) and a bit more rock heavy, but not less brilliant and with great energy. Generally they are a bit more rock heavy, and describe themselves as hard rocking maids. :) Greetings from Germany and see you next time. _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Nice to have you with us on this journey. Hope to see more Band Maid on your channel. As some commenters already pointed out The Warning and Band-Maid met at the Aftershock festival: ua-cam.com/video/pTtH8jozrQQ/v-deo.html
Dude I unleash Toxic gas every night, but that's besides the point here... I am slowly beginning to like this band, seen a few of their videos and I don't get it, but this was cool, I like the anime used in this as well.
Hey all sorry for the slight camera freezes in the video. for some reason Streamlabs did not like me this morning and I can not reshoot blind reactions so I had to keep it the way it was in order to preserve the raw reaction. I hope you all understand and still enjoy the video.

and Lovebites, and Nemophila, and Galneryus, and Gyze, and... well lots of Japanese bands....
Band-Maid fans notice a lot of hidden clues in this video. The one that's most poignant to me is at 3:20 where Miku is shown (Alone) in the original 2015 video Thrill where she couldn't play guitar at that point and to reflect on how far she has come since then. Also At 4:48 Kanami with hearts around her when she's close with Saiki since every fan knows that Kanami is in love with Saiki.
The genre of BAND-MAID is BAND-MAID. They have said in the past that they are Hard Rock. But we know them as AWESOME.
Hey someone said AWESOME.😁👌
@@GaryHolloway-810 I was trying to avoid using Totally Tubular.😁😁
@@jeremydawkins8814 Haha. Totally agree with not using Tubular :)
Extremely hard rocking maid band...was the phrasing they used to describe themselves.
Hey Sycho, this is the only anime MV from the band (we are hoping for more). But they have done several songs for anime and esports events. They are in their 10th year with a catalog of over 120 songs. Not a bad one in the bunch. They shine brightest Live so check out: DOMINATION-LIVE, ONSET-LIVE (awesome instrumental), PLAY-LIVE. As we speak they are here in the US on tour thru the end of the month. You'll be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable and rockin current ROCK band. The lead singer is Saiki (psyche) Sycho so beware. BAND-MAID are Awesome so double beware. Peace. 1.97
I feel like Miku would find your initial assessment of their outfits hilarious lol. Hope you check out more of the maids man! Domination live is a great place to start as I'm sure many have said already
The Warning meet's BAND-MAID in the Aftershock Festival few days ago and it's on YT too :) Not a group, it's a band btw😅
Oh damn well i gotta check that out. Thanks for the info
The main difference of course between Baby Metal and the Maids is the fact that Band-Maid play their instruments. Wait until you get a bass solo from MISA. Aftershock last Sunday in Seattle tonight.
I caught them in Dallas this month and stood in front of Misa the whole show. That woman is nasty with the bass. Literally watched her do the pick palm tuck live and it's still unbelievable.
Hey bro! Now that you finally checked out Band-Maid. This is one of there newest singles. Go back and check out their very first video called Thrill. That song and video literally saved the band from being split up by their label. Kick ass tune bro and the main riff is muah chefs kiss
Brother....let me just say that your first impression of this band will change again and again. Madiacs call this going into the "pigeon hole". You really have no idea of what these ladies bring to the music world. IMO (and hundreds of thousands more) believe Band-Maid is "THE" hardest working, best sounding, completely surprising band in the world today. Every time they release a new track everybody (that is familiar with Band Maid) feels like its Christmas because we never know what is about to be heard but also know its going to be VERY good. Band Maid is a genre. You'll understand after you get to know this band. They have over 100+ tracks to choose from and its hard for me to pick what you should hear next because they are all good and more than half of them are GREAT. Moratorium Live, Influencer (from Unleash album), Domination Live, Warning, Thrill (first MV by Band Maid), and Puzzle, ....and on and on and on. Even if you dont do more than a couple of their tracks, do yourself a favor and check these ladies out. Song writing and musicianship is off the charts. Im 63 yo guitarist whos been there and done that and lost interest in the music scene until I heard BAND-MAID 3 years ago. They actually gave me back that spark thats been missing for quite a while. No doubt these ladies will have the world applauding in the near future. History is happening.
The last band I saw live was The Warning and the next band I'll see is Band-Maid 😀 You are going to love Band-Maid. Domination (official live video) is probably the best next reaction. Since you mentioned that you love animation, have you seen Animosity by The Warning?
Welcome aboard, Kris. You are embarking on (along with many others - 150 million YT views plus over 30 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 with their new album “Unleash” dropping September 21, 2022), 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 later songs from albums 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 on February 14th “Domination” ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/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 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues:
Taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: ua-cam.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/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, 30 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, 29 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
Got your tickets yet? BAND-MAID's 14 gig USA tour is all but SOLD OUT! HOWEVER, they just added two more venues in New Jersey Oct. 30 (4,000 seats), and Chicago, Nov. 1. And the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 may still have tickets. Check Ticketmaster and Band-Maid’s website quickly!
Look the part and sound the part awesome loving the comments crew giving you these great suggestions
Hi, I'm also in Canada. I'd suggest you look at their latest MV called Influencer. You'll love it, and since they're playing it on their currently-ongoing US tour, you should be able to find yourself some fan cams of them playing it live to watch on your own (or react to with us, as you wish...)..
Nice reaction…I’m from Montreal and I can confirm that Band-Maid is the real thing..I saw them twice in NYC in 2019 and they blew me away.. at the end of this month 28 & 29 they are playing in NYC and Boston…and I will be there again! Thank you…Peace & Respect from 🇨🇦
Suggestion songs from Band-Maid…Domination (live), Freedom (live), Bubble, Clang, Play (any version), Daydreaming (mv) and Onset (instrumental)
Thx for your great reaction. Peace 💪👍😃
I would suggest you review their newest release "Influencer" from the same Unleash EP. It is the culmination of what is great about the band of incredible gifted women.
In the past I would say go watch DOMINATION - Live, but "Influencer" is so good, and it really shows where their music is today, as it has evolved. So agree watch "Influencer"

So there is a lot going on in the animation that's there for the maidiacs (hard core fans) each maid as they are introduced is from the set of a different MV. lots of other easter eggs I'll leave for others or you to find on your own. Seeing them live in less then 8 hours and I am so damn excited! Great reaction!
I'm a Maidiac. This band are the real deal.
Best hard rock band of the 21st century.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.
You have only just scratched the surface of this band. Keep digging, you will not be disappointed.
Great reaction! 🤘😎🤘I would suggest as others have their live MV for Domination.
Thx for the reaction. This band will blow your mind. They have a ridiculously great catalog - the kind you can spend months lost in and wonder why you'd never heard of them before. Too many songs to recommend, but I'll start with their most recent instrumental called "From Now On." You'll love it (even without vocals).
Where in Canada are you? Band-Maid is playing in Seattle tonight. They'll play New York and Boston on the 28th and 29th, and Chicago on Nov. 1st (they're playing other places in between; those are closest to Canada). Other Band-Maid songs? Really almost anything. Everybody will suggest their live performances (Onset, Domination, Freedom, Real Existence) but they have some really good videos too (Dice, Blooming, Rinne) and from Unseen World (2021) (Manners, Warning! and After Life.) Band-Maid has been getting more progressive over the last couple of albums. There seems to be a lot of overlap between fans of The Warning and Band-Maid (and Rush, for that matter). Other Japanese bands you should check out: Nemophila, Asterism, or Hanabie. There's a great scene going on over there.
Thanks Sycho! Welcome to Band-Maid!
Band Maid are top tier in rock, one of the best ever. If you haven’t tried Hanabie yet check out We Love Sweets, you won’t be disappointed.
BM has gone through a bunch of phases of their battle armor, this is actually the debut of their latest versions, so special attention is paid to show that here.
Band-Maid and The Warning are playing a show together in Tokyo June 12th 2024. Hoping for a live stream 🤘
This is different from Lovebites right? They'll offer so much more, something different all the time. Lovebites is another standout band along with Nemophila.
You'll soon realise that Band-Maid isn't pure metal, pure hard rock, pure prog either. They incorporate all the different elements together seemlessly in a song. Even if your favourite band is Lovebites, Band-Maid is a whole new experience. You'll never get bored listening to them. Fun journey guaranteed. Thanks man!
They are "the Select Few"
Also, check out Nemophila's Dissension and TRiDENT's Just Fight.
The last 3 years in 3 minutes! Check out Wave Potters breakdown of all the easter eggs on this video! Next! Freedom (live)
Songs to try - well they have over 100+. Go for Influencer MV, Play Live, Blooming MV, Domination Live or Black Hole Live (their fastest).
You can’t make a bad pick with this band.
If you have issues with audio please let me know I have sound on my end but some are stating the sound doesn't work until you refresh video dunno why
Welcome to the pigeon-hole of Band-Maid!
You are a metal, anime and games nerd? Then I promise you that you will have a lot of fun with these amazing ladies. Their outfits generally have something of an anime vibe, I think, and their sound speaks for itself. And as for games, just a few days ago they participated in the Genshin Concert 2022 and brilliantly covered the 'Dawn Winery Theme' there. So yes, they cover all these fields. :)
My recommendation? Definitely a live performance, and I would say 'Real Existence' might suit your taste. It's a song from their earlier days (they started in 2013) and a bit more rock heavy, but not less brilliant and with great energy. Generally they are a bit more rock heavy, and describe themselves as hard rocking maids. :)
Greetings from Germany and see you next time.

Nice to have you with us on this journey. Hope to see more Band Maid on your channel.
As some commenters already pointed out The Warning and Band-Maid met at the Aftershock festival:

Dude I unleash Toxic gas every night, but that's besides the point here... I am slowly beginning to like this band, seen a few of their videos and I don't get it, but this was cool, I like the anime used in this as well.
👍👍👍👍👍
They are hard rock, not metal. There is a subtle difference between the two. Keep going down the Band-Maid rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed.
You should possibly do a reaction to Baby Metal
All of them. lol.
Holy Shit! He listened to Unleash in 2020! Lol
What?
Found it. LOL.
a fanny reaction.but its alright.
BAND-MAID IS one of the select few! TinyHat-san welcomes you.
