To bad you did not have the CC on and it was more like 33 song setlist and 3 1/2 hour show. This was an anthem song for *BAND-MAID* and they perform this song at Daytona Welcome To Rockville of 2023 and it was amazing. 🤗
Friends, it was not the right song for your profile and musical knowledge. You have not detected what type of band you had in front of you and that is considered, by many and me too, to be the best rock band of this century worldwide, I mean male, female or alien. Regarding the comments and the way you did… well, they can be annoying and even arrogant, impertinent for many of the fans. Good luck because you are going to need it in your reactions and, please, do not try to be a sniper in a war because you are going to miss all the shots, for sure, and it is not the fault of the weapon nor is it the fault of the enemy because they move a lot... is because you don t know how to shoot. Easy. Try to react about 'chicken wings flavours'
No accounting for taste. I don't agree with your opinions. There is room for personal preference, not for absolutes. The lead vocalist does not have the greatest power and range. She does excel in emotive performance and delivery of cadences. Your specific critique of her voice breaking is out of context with the situation. This was their 10 year anniversary concert. This was the last song of a 3 hr 45 min set. The emotions for the band was running off the charts.
Not knowing the BAND-MAID backstory and not reading the CC this song would be way out of context for anyone with 1 or 2 songs under their belt. The ladies were very emotional in this one and added thank you lyrics for the fans for 10 years of support. Song 33 in 3.5 hours. Springsteen would be proud. Try and speak a little Japanese and the Maids will thank you.
I'm glad i'm 10hrs late, JK. BAND-MAID, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie...etc...etc. May as well lump them altogether cos they all sound the same cos they're from Japan. DUH!😒
They’re not ready yet. I don't think they want to They don’t even pronounce the band name “one ok rock” correctly. They don’t even know the historical background. What about other bands?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Gary, there are plenty of English speaking singers who I don't always understand. But if I like the music and melody and the way the singer projects the lyrics then I'm good with that. Which happens a lot for me with BAND-MAID. On a new song without seeing the lyrics on screen I'll rarely catch the English. I believe Asami lived in the US for awhile yet I can't understand her singing English. That's why they loved FROM NOW ON. 🤣
@@GaryHolloway-810 I know you weren't commenting about me. I was just spewing my thoughts about foreign singers speaking English. The reactors had a major problem with Saiki's English. So these guys better stick with the instrumentals. Honesty is the best policy and helps the viewer make their own choice to continue or not. 😎 Hey I saw that Kanami said the album is finished and was starting to record something on her own. Very interesting comment. 🎸🎵
Hey guys, its totally your peragative to not not vibe with a song or a group. But there are better ways of expressing that in an honest way so as not to be offensive to the group or its fandom. 1 - is by not comparing them to a group or style of music you obviously prefer. 2 - is by not making comments like, "I feel like this has gone on too long" or " I've seen cover bands or covers of bands better than this" or "This is G level material compared to what Babymetal has done " There are nuanced ways of providing an honest reaction and respectful to the material. I'm okay if you never do another Band-Maid reaction as I don't think there is anything for you here. Don't be one of those channels that starts crying about pushback and toxic fans after being disrespectful to the group and by extension its passionate fan base.
This singer had an epic concert. A high point of the 3 and a half hours was when, as a rookie pianist, she went solo on grand piano and delivered a slow, stripped-down performance and made an up tempo song an emotional experience. I love Saiki, her tone and her balls of steel in front of their biggest crowd 👌🤘💪🔥❤
Well that was difficult to sit through. 😂 As your name says, Honest Reactions, so your opinion is your opinion. TBH, this song, from this show in particular, was not the best song for a first time listen to Saiki, as a new listener you will have no history or context to what's happening. This was their 10th Anniversary Tour Finale and during this song the Maids were very emotional and if the CC was on, you would have seen Saiki thanking the fans for their support and because of the fans, they have made here to their 10th Anniversary. They play this song as a song for fan appreciation. They even added a special verse for this show, just to immortalize this moment with thank you in mind for the fans. "For making today Possible. For letting our voices join together, Thank you! From now, always. We'll never forget this view shared with you." The crack you heard was her emotions coming out... BTW...this was song 33 on the night on a 3hr and 40min concert, where Saiki did sing 29 of those songs. As for the English, she does have an accent, but English is obviously not her first language and I'll give you her English is not as good as some of the Japanese singers. But heck, some singers in the US can speak proper English either...Context. I like Baby Metal, One OK Rock, Lovebites, Nemophila, Maximum the Hormone and a whole bunch of other groups/singers/bands. But I don't compare them side by side to throw shade on one band. Do I prefer some over the other if were ranking them, sure, but I don't criticize one over. Especially since other than being Japanese, all of them are different. Whether it be idol/metal, hard rock, metal, speed metal, death metal and some crossover. And saying one member of another band should do this a song for another bands member...that's disrespectful. Especially since most of these bands are friends and support each other. Honest opinions can remain honest...but really...you could have just said, "I did not like that song. It's just not in my wheelhouse." "She sounded like she was straining on this song. Hey let us know if there was something going on with her voice". BTW...again for context and not trying to throw shade on any band, as I love all of these bands...Single show setlist...Baby-Metal setlist shows 10 to 12 songs. One OK Rock, 16 to 18 songs. Band-Maid US tour 18 to 22 songs and in Japan usually 22 to 23. Well, I hope you continue with Band-Maid as they are a wonderful band. And if you don't, it's OK and thank you for reacting to the Maids. PO!🕊 🤟😆🤟
Tbf If you compare to Babymetal they used to have 2.5 hrs long concerts and they dance all the way down to the ending with exhaustion and sweats all over their faces. Now their setlist are way shorter but this year they have played hundreds of live shows around the world tour. I watched that Band-Maid video about their touring too, that's not easy to do, sleep schedule, constant moving, weather,....
@@BadEnd98 As a babymetal fan I have to call out your incorrect info:D. BABYMETAL has literally never had concerts that are 2.5 hours long. The longest concert babymetal has ever had was when they played at Wembley Arena and that was around 1hour and 50 minutes
Not your fault at all. You guys walked into the middle of a movie without any context or explanation. This song, and a couple others, are absolutely not for new listeners. My apologies for you getting tossed like that. “Endless Story” is for seasoned listeners and fans of the band who know their entire history. Terrible selection for new listeners. Fans of the band at that show were sobbing in the aisles. Saiki’s voice breaking at the end was her overwhelmed emotions at what was happening in the moment. Just like when Rod Stewart started crying during his live acoustic performance of “Have I Told You Lately.” Band Maid is an exceptional group of musicians with an eclectic catalog. I argue they have the widest musical range of any modern musical artist bar none. And their journey from the dream of a 19 year old Japanese girl to a powerhouse rock band in Yokohama Arena is worthy of a full length feature film. You started with “From Now On,” which is exactly the song Saiki chooses for opening festivals where few people know them. Perfect for song #1. Here’s a few choices to get you back into the proper lane of travel. Let us know when you’re ready for something wild. “DICE,” OMV “the non-fiction days,” OMV “Don’t you tell ME,” LIVE from the same Yokohama show “Moratorium,” LIVE “Onset,” LIVE another instrumental Any of these songs will land easier for anyone unfamiliar with the band. Someday, after a few dozen songs and watching the documentaries on the band, return to this song. Your reactions will be completely changed, guaranteed 🤘🏽
It's great to be 'honest'. It actually saddens me when I see reactors deliberately praising a song or performance that they don't like. However, to be honest means that that reactor's knowledge, appreciation of music, and sense of taste are honestly revealed. ―― Yes, it also exposes to the viewers his/her narrow knowledge, poor understanding, and lack of respect for the music and its performers. That is very scary, isn't it?
@IslandVibes57 Haha, you better work on your reading comprehension skills. Because any opinion will give the same impression when you apply your stereotypical interpretation to it. (^_^)v
@@MCLHEF Yeah... he/she is a poor sad person, isn't he/she? He/She doesn't realize that he/she is cursing at his/her reflection in the mirror. No, it's more comical than sad?...... 😝
You are right. Lately I have come to be able to somewhat identify personalities by the expressions on the reactors' faces. Like it or not, unfortunately, more and more people seem to have no sense of care or respect for listeners or artists.
BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘 is forever my number 1 but give these ladies more chances. They have many amazing songs and have quickly become one of my favorites too. Secret my Lips, Puzzle, Dice, Play, Different are some of my favorites. She does have a beautiful voice. As others said this was a loooooooooong performance.
I wish more of the comments were like this, although the ones I've read so far are, thankfully, measured. (There's probably the crazy 1% down there somewhere, who should just be ignored.) But yeah, this a special song for AFTER somebody understands how intense and musically intricate Band-Maid usually are.
I've been to see Babymetal twice & both times they were awesome. But i'm a Maidiac thru & thru & i don't like them disrespecting BAND-MAID by calling them "G League".
You guys totally missed the boat on this song......this was the final song at their 10th Anniversary 3 1/2 hour show and the crowd went crazy!!!!!! SHOW some freckin RESPECT !!!!! No scribe from me
i highly doubt su can do this song. I prefer the lower voice for this than the higher voice su would have. It's just a preference i have. Not trying to say others can't prefer babymetal but i do prefer band maid
You guys totally whiffed on this review. First, you need to turn on the closed captions to get the context of Saiki's speech. This was at the end of a 3+ hour concert where they belted out over 30 songs. The band was thanking the fans for their support for the past 10 years because it was thanks to them for watching and sharing their first music video "Thrill" is why they are still together. The band even added an extra verse to this song just for this concert and occasion. Also, don't compare Band-Maid to Baby Metal because that's like comparing apples to oranges. One is a group of musicians who write, compose and perform their own music and the other is an idol group who do choreography with a backing band. There's nothing wrong with either they're just different. Finally, you need to let us know what you're into so we can make better recommendations. Do you want guitar, drums, bass or vocals? Do you want fast, slow, poppy, punk or metal? May want to give it another go.
I'm sorry if this is the first BAND-MAID for you. It's not representative for what they do...even though they put in a slow song here and there. This version is more for the fans (lyrics are important) I hope you'll check out more of their songs. They are really awesome and fantastic musicians and song writers. Check out songs like Moratorium, Domination, Puzzle, Dice....and more!
There’s no reason for anyone to have to judge a band or a song only after experience (i.e., knowing that this was the last song of along concert or the emotion resonance of the 10th anniversary, or any of that stuff) and certainly no reason to say anything other than one’s honest opinion. I respect your judgement on the song and understand why you didn’t like it. I’m not going to suggest that you don’t have well-formed opinions based on knowledge, as do some of the angry commenters who preceded me. But I will respectfully suggest that you did cross the line that separates “critical” from “mean” here.
I don't understand why they hate Saiki so much. Her ability to control the audience and convey emotions is great, and she is outstanding not only in her performances but also in her live performances. It seems that they hate Saiki just by looking at her. When they say that it would be better if the vocalist was Sue, or that her English pronunciation sounds like she might be sick, they are probably expressing their honest contempt. To me, it seems that they are looking down on the Japanese live culture itself. Being honest is fine, but being rude is a problem.
Leave them alone, it's disgusting, you don't have to react to Band-Maid again, so stop making fun of Japanese people!! Go ahead and laugh!! Your Japanese must be pretty good？🤣
It’s obvious Band Maid is above your level of musical comprehension. Maybe you should react to something a little less extreme. No disrespect intended. Just saying.
Form Japan BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL are completely different, but they are fighting in the same world of rock music. BABYMETAL is able to demonstrate their own abilities with the support and financial resources of Japan's best composers, choreographers, and stage directors. BAND-MAID is in control of everything themselves. People have different opinions about singers, I was a fan of Sue, but now I like Saiki. I feel that Saiki is more suitable as a rock singer.
@@mikepowers9486 I was born in Hiroshima, Sue's hometown, and was a fan of BABYMETAL and Sue before I knew BAND-MAID. However, I was concerned about the influence of adults rather than the members, and the importance placed on the intentions of the production company, and my heart grew distant. I think their talent and efforts are amazing, but all I can say is that it just doesn't feel right. This has nothing to do with BAND-MAID. I'm still a Beatles fan and John Lennon is my most favorite talent.
You do not have the knowledge of music theory to analyze a song, you don't have the understanding of vocal technique or the playing skills of the respective instruments. Please do not be arrogant or make comments that demean the artist.
this commentsection really strenghtens my believe that A LOT of band-maid fans fucking hate babymetal. The amount of seething just because you dared to wonder how this song would sound if Su sung it is so god damn funny:D. The fact that band-maid fans only argument against babymetal is that "they don't write their own songs" is also laughable. I would rather listen to a good song written by others than a shit song written by the band members:D. And no I'm not saying all band-maid songs are shit. They definitely have some bangers but this "bandmaid is the best band in the universe" stuff lot of you B-M fans say is ridiculous.
I feel Band-Maid's longevity and success will become Endless Stories in the annals of Rock ‘n Roll history! Once you "Honest" guys learn more about Band-Maid, I think you'll agree. If you don't look further, it's only your loss. Oh and, FYI, Band-Maid writes their own songs (over 130) and play their own instruments. If they were as bad as you "guys" think, they wouldn't have such a solid, worldwide fanbase with over 400 concerts, and over 200 million YT views. So, it looks like your "opinion" -- and you have every right to have one -- is rarely shared. Some news... -- The Warning, a world-famous band from Mexico, and BAND-MAID recently completed their amazing 2-man, collab concert in Japan with the introduction of their new song, “Show Them.” -- BAND-MAID released a new song, "Bestie," co-written with Mike Einziger of INCUBUS! The MV dropped May 1. And Band-Maid's new album is nearly ready. -- BAND-MAID HALL TOUR 2024 -- July 5, 2024 (Fri) Osaka, Fenice Sakai Main Hall, -- July 14, 2024 (Sun) Kanagawa Kenmin Hall, Kanagawa -- July 21 OSAKA GIGANTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2024 -- Aug 16 RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2024 in EZO -- Aug 17 SUMMER SONIC 2024 -- Sept. 8, 2024 TREASURE 05X Festival in Laguna Beach, Gamagori
you are kidding right? They are a little group with a little following. You just say they write their own songs and the first thing you tell us about their new song is is co-written by Mike Einziger...So which is it? They are playing Osaka in Fenice Sakai Main Hall, sounds huge!!! Why not Osaka Dome, Why not Osaka-Jo Hall?
Seriously guys, why do western reactors always compare to Baby metal. Baby metal is not even a band. They are a theatre production. In Japan, absolutely nobody would compare the two. One is a band, one is an Idol group. It’s like comparing a concert to Disney on ice. No offence to Baby metal fans. I’m not a fan, but have met members of Idol groups and they are some of the hardest working performers in the Industry, respect.
@@CHRISCONTEPSS sorry it’s the only one I could think of at the time. The point is Baby Metal is a production with sole rights and ownership belonging to the production company. To the average listener they neither care or understand the difference, but to a musician ( I’m not one) there are very big differences. In Japan people are fans of both but definitely don’t see them as the same thing. A lot of people in Japan are actually fans of the production companies and will follow any new group put together by that company. Johnny’s, now known as Smile-Up is one of the biggest idol group ( boy band) production companies in Japan with a fan club membership of over 3 million.
@@davidcarroll3312 No worries. I get it. . .I have thougt of Babymetal as a music theater production since day one. It just made me laugh because I was in DOI for 5 years touring. . . . so I'm very aware. . . although I think Babymetal is a much better production and doesn't sell snow cones and plastic swords in their merch section. . . lol Saw both bands last year. They are both awesome live!!!!! :)
@@CHRISCONTEPSS you were in DOI ? Sounds like and interesting story, would like to chat to you more about that but here’s not the place. With your obvious experience you would definitely recognise Baby metal as a theatre production and appreciate it for what it is. If people like Baby metal, good on them and I hope it brings them as much joy as the music I listen to brings me. It just annoys me when reactors who are supposed to know something about music and the industry are comparing two different different forms of entertainment. It’s like they’re Japanese and they’re girls, so they’re the same. Would you compare Jesus Christ superstar to Led Zeppelin? I’ve seen Band Maid live a number of times and am off to Osaka on Friday to see them again 🤘
Actually, it was a THIRTY THREE song set list. Being their last song of a 3 1/2 hour concert and the conclusion of their 10th anniversary tour, she wasn't just wore out, it was a very emotional moment for her and all the members. It was a dream realized. A honest reaction is always appreciated, but it has little validity if it is not based in knowledge. Thus, I believe you get a pass on this one. I'd suggest Bubble or Daydreaming to get a better idea of her vocal range and talent. As for comparing vocal talents of Band Maid to BabyMetal, well... that'd be like comparing Janet Jackson to Joni Mitchell. Just sayin'. Cheers
BAND-MAID is absolutely amazing 🤘🤗 Please keep reacting to them, the singer has a very refreshing and great voice 😊 Everyone is extremely talented, I will guarantee you will love them 😄 You just got a really meaningful song as request, so don't worry, they will turn you over 😉 Maybe try "Warning", "Shambles" or "Freedom". You can't compare them to BABYMETAL, they are actually very different from each other and both are quite unique in their own way. Take care ✌️
From Japan I don't mean to say that this song is the last song of 3 hours and 30 minutes and 33 songs. I don't think it's because her ability to control the crowd or convey emotions is inferior. I'm just saying that there are people who can't feel it. When people feel that it's not theirs, they start looking for things they don't like and don't try to see the good in it. However, they should know that there were many ordinary fans who watched this song with tears in their eyes.
Just from a business model standpoint point, could you imagine anyone making disparaging comments about their honest reactions without any obvious understanding of the subject at hand that their donor graced them with their donations. Honestly? What’s the point of all this?
I am an Ascap and BMI published artist. Band Maid with it's superior composition ability and time signature changes throughout many of their compositions are obviously far above your unknown musical abilities and apparent novice musical comprehension. You are both just Another group of pretenders to avoid!
If you're into more dynamic song with more complexities, this is one of their softest songs where only fans or particular type of people who can emotionally relate to. They are one of those bands that you have to listen to at least 10 songs before forming any kind of judgement, because they are so versatile. And most of their songs have the catchy chorus but deceptively complex, of course some are more radio-friendly and easy-listening. Fans are so emotionally attached to this song and even though it's nowhere near complex or fast and chaotic like most of their recent songs are, sometimes it really doesn't matter much. It's a great live song.
When you were comparing this to the same vocal pattern from BABYMETAL, were you aware that Band-Maid came out with this four years before BABYMETAL's song with the same pattern? It wouldn't be Su saying, "Wait, that's our song!" It would be Band-Maid hearing BABYMETAL and saying, "Wait, that's OUR song!" By the way, I love both bands, but Band-Maid did do this first.
for crap sake guys not every song in a 3.5+ hour concert can be an out and out banger, would get boring. 33 songs if I remember correctly from hard rock, acoustic, mertal, ballads - light and shade. She had sang for almost 3.5 hours and this song was the last one I think of their 10th anniversarry concert. very emotional her voice was cracking up with emotion, near tears. OK you dont like them and obviously big babymetal fans. But pretty crap way of putting thinks. Can you not see the tears at the end. No subscription from me
The donor who requested this song most probably did not take consideration that these two reactors, being very new to BM (having previously only listened to the instrumental, From Now On) have zero context with regard to the song, the concert, the significance of the concert and BM's history. Consequently, they could only react from an extremely narrow perspective. Having said that, a little research before reacting to the video as well as turning on the CC, might have might have given them more valuable insight into BM and the concert's significance. Anyway, I think they should now simply give up reacting to BM since the prejudice has already set in. Going forward from here, they can only hear Saiki's "weak vocals" and it won't be useful from any angle.
I'm not gonna bag on you guys, just gonna pack up my stuff and move on the next reaction vid. They have alotta great songs (130+ over 10 years), including this one. You guys just happen upon a song that has alot of context, and as this your your first listen you don't know this. I hope you give them another chance, maybe "Hate?" (live). I love both Band Maid and Babymetal, but they are two totally different things on many levels. Peace 🤘
Band Maid is not for you. No worries. There’s plenty else out there. But to say that Saiki’s voice is horrible, I’d say ten plus years of international success is the appropriate counter argument. Happy listening gentlemen.
Guys, I used to respect BabyMetal, but I never really liked them because I always considered them a product/abomination created by an artist management agency and for being the complete opposite of what a real rock band should be... you know, a group of musicians who get together through word of mouth or social media messages and find they have good chemistry to write music together and play live. And while I love the talent of Kami Band, the rest of BabyMetal is everything that I dislike about idol K-Pop and those UA-camrs who are unable to react to a song on their own, without you having to buy them a coffee first. Band-Maid and BM are incomparable. 😉
Ahahah that was funny. But yes we totally agree that they can't be compared since they are completely different formats. I wonder what does any of this have even remotely to do with k-pop though xD
@@TheLeomarti K-pop is a genre, just like j-pop or whatever. K-pop is bunch of singers-dancers put together by a production company with a backing track. BabyMetal is a singer and dancers put together by a production company with a backing band. What language they're singing is irrelevant.
Just came from your Hate reaction (oddly accurate wording? lol) Tbh it wasn't bad so I even argued on your behalf, even as someone who puts BM in Top5 alltime bands. But that "G league version of stuff Babymetal does" comment was nasty dude wtf! I don't know if you're just trying to ride the fandom war train or over playing your "honest" tagline, Or mabe you're really just an ahol.. What I do know is, that specific comment was not honesty, It was straight disrespectful. After seeing this I can't blame the fans lashing out on the Hate? reaction. Yeah dude, you begged for it on this one.
We get it, you like Babymetal. Pretty narrow minded. This is one of the best rock bands of our time. Voice cracking over 3.5 hours and 33 songs in. Now go watch some choreography. 🙄
Sarcasm about choreography? Who is being "Narrow minded" here? I am huge fan of BOTH bands and saw both of them live on their most recent US tours. Both packed the house then brought it down! Two of the best shows I have ever seen. . .and I appreciate how different they are. I am so tired of people not realizing how difficult singing is and don't consider singers musicians. . .Give me a break. Ever tried singing live in front of hundreds or thousands of people? I am drummer and a choreographer. I can tell you dancing at the level some groups do it can be way harder than playing an instrument as it is more physically taxing whilst being just as exacting. Most people who dis it know nothing about it, and could not get through 2 measures of dance choreo without f'ing up! Now try singing at the same time. Its fine if choreo w/ rock/metal is not your thing, but to imply it does not take the same dedication effort and ability as it does to play an instrument is not narrow minded. . . it's just ignorant.
@@CHRISCONTEPSS Conceptually, what is the difference between BabyMetal and any other act with a singer flanked by choreo in front of an anonymous group of musicians? That is root of the negative comparisons. I am a Babymetal fan, think Su has a great voice and the producers pick good musicians to play the songs. Since they went away from the Rondo of Nightmare style band and went with the platypus masks I *have* found it harder to enjoy, ngl.
It seems like you guys don't know anything. I'm sorry. I want you to know how great this band is, but it seems impossible for you, who are so prejudiced, to know. By the way, BABYMETAL is not a band, but an idol. They are just idols who cannot exist without Kami Band.
They did exist, but they were idols called Sakura Gakuin, and they were just idols. BABYMETAL was born out of the idea that it would be interesting to combine idol and heavy metal as a project. Lately, I've been writing lyrics, but I haven't been able to compose music. In the first place, even comparing it to BAND-MAID is fundamentally different.
@@TheLeomarti No. The skeleton suits weren't playing anything, Kami band is just a name for whichever group of studio musicians the production company has playing. Last I checked, which was at least one, maybe two albums ago, BM has had 15+ guitarists playing for them.
@@TheLeomarti No, I'm disagreeing. Yes there was an entity named Babymetal before the backing band was given a name, but there has always been a backing band. Last I saw Moa had learned some basic guitar but none of them play on albums or in performances.
Sui, do not even reach up to the ankles off Saiki in ability and voice 😅 These two dudes don't know much about music, especially the dude on the right side🤮 Disrespecting nobodys🖕
This is music played by a band who write their music and play their instruments, and have nothing in common with Babymetal thank God. The last of 33 songs. Anyway, you succeeded in giving Babymetal a bad name, by association.
Look at the number of comments and dislikes. There's no dislikes on their reaction video to a Hanabie music video despite them hating it more than this Band-Maid video. This proves Band-Maid fans are insanely toxic along with Babymetal and Lovebites ones. They can't tolerate any criticism about their favorites since they're practically worshippers.
lol. There was PLENTY of dislikes on their Hanabie reaction aswell. Are you blind? Or are you just blindly ignoring the hateful comments Hanabie fans make?:D. And the hanabie reaction also had 3 times less views than this reaction for example so ofcourse there were less comments:D. So my point is pretty much every single fandom has these toxic people in it so you acting like Hanabie fans are "better" than others is just ridiculous
BABYMETAL and BAND-MAID should not be compared. BABYMETAL is an idol group with a backing band, created by the management's strategy, while BAND-MAID is an artist who created their own band, composed, performed, and produced their own music. Furthermore, in terms of genre, there is no band that can be compared to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is BAND-MAID.
You do not know enough about musical (music) theory to analyze it, nor do you have any understanding for vocal technique and instrumental skills. . Please don't speak haughtily, and don't speak from a superior position. You will only expose your ignorance and lack of understanding.
He is comparing music...They dont care how or who or when the music was made. They listened to it. Only nerds like you need to dive into their backstory.
I will try to be polite, Band Maid for 10 years made many millions people around the globe to love them! I think how this amazing band started to choose who they want to love them and who they don't want to love them. Probably they don't want you to love them. Great desigion ladies! Well done girls! Now I will not be polite. You are 2 idiots and this is gona be for a long, long time, I think for the rest of your lifes.
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
I don't tend to hate your reaction...I'm not blind and toxic BM fan and You have every right to an "honest" opinion... This is definitely not a good song for first reaction at all, this is a special kind of anthem song (thanks to the fans), it's the end of a 3+ hour concert and the song has no special musical value. If this is how the quality of singing is valued, it doesn't make sense to refer you to Christmas acoustic, or the fact that the Japanese doesn't even have certain consonants in the language (L), therefore they can't even speak English fluently, less sing, Saiki almost cries half the song...because you're going to use Babymetal as a benchmark? Babymetal is not a group, but a corporate idol project, with all the machinery behind it... and you just love the idea of metal sound behind that project (half of the performances are fake, they often don't play live), there are no Babymetal backing vocals, only tracks (2 girls are performers, not singers!), and Su-metal singing is...rudimental? "First reaction" format can't set standards for comparison without knowing some background, but at the end of the day it's your channel and I respect your way...even though I personally find it wrong... Maybe it's more "honest": I like it / not my cup of tea?
@@TheLeomarti I was flowing with his comment too...until that statement. I like Babymetal and this would be eye opener to find out they have not been playing live. I only remembered in the very beginning, the skeletons were not really playing the instruments, but I thought the vocal were always live.
Well Su-Metal sings a lot in English, guess the L is fine for her. Some of Babymetal backing is tracks, sure...They are dancing...its the same for nearly every single group in the world that dances. Those 2 girls dance all the time unlike other groups. If you think that Band-Maid just does everything by themselves and has no help you are pretty stupid...every group in the world has other people helping. This song is an anthem song? haha...try metal kingdom by babymetal that is an anthem song!!!!
We all have different taste, and that’s a very good thing. Another good thing is honest reactors that don’t go “Ah” and Oh” and “love” everything to get likes. For some strange reason, Band-Maid always get compared to the metal cabaret called Babe Metal, although they have nothing in common. I do get that some like Baby Metal better as they are heavies and the musicians in the background are more technical. With that said, this is the first time I heard someone prefer their “squeaky toy voices” to the mature voice of a woman like Saiki. That to me is a mystery!
@@TheLeomarti although, to be fair, the voices of the Baby Metal girls has improved over the years. In the beginning it was unbearable and now it’s only unpleasant.
@@nussekuddenxxx6564 seems like we agree then ahah, it's just your personal preference of sound, nothing to do with Saiki supposedly being "the mature one" over Su
@@TheLeomarti Some of us might prefer the sound of a child's voice over a woman's voice. That does not mean that we can't hear the difference. What we can't tell is if it's a child with a woman's voice or a woman's with a child's voice.
To bad you did not have the CC on and it was more like 33 song setlist and 3 1/2 hour show. This was an anthem song for *BAND-MAID* and they perform this song at Daytona Welcome To Rockville of 2023 and it was amazing. 🤗
Friends, it was not the right song for your profile and musical knowledge. You have not detected what type of band you had in front of you and that is considered, by many and me too, to be the best rock band of this century worldwide, I mean male, female or alien. Regarding the comments and the way you did… well, they can be annoying and even arrogant, impertinent for many of the fans. Good luck because you are going to need it in your reactions and, please, do not try to be a sniper in a war because you are going to miss all the shots, for sure, and it is not the fault of the weapon nor is it the fault of the enemy because they move a lot... is because you don t know how to shoot. Easy. Try to react about 'chicken wings flavours'
No accounting for taste. I don't agree with your opinions. There is room for personal preference, not for absolutes. The lead vocalist does not have the greatest power and range. She does excel in emotive performance and delivery of cadences. Your specific critique of her voice breaking is out of context with the situation. This was their 10 year anniversary concert. This was the last song of a 3 hr 45 min set. The emotions for the band was running off the charts.
Not knowing the BAND-MAID backstory and not reading the CC this song would be way out of context for anyone with 1 or 2 songs under their belt. The ladies were very emotional in this one and added thank you lyrics for the fans for 10 years of support. Song 33 in 3.5 hours. Springsteen would be proud. Try and speak a little Japanese and the Maids will thank you.
I'm glad i'm 10hrs late, JK. BAND-MAID, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie...etc...etc. May as well lump them altogether cos they all sound the same cos they're from Japan. DUH!😒
They’re not ready yet. I don't think they want to
They don’t even pronounce the band name “one ok rock” correctly. They don’t even know the historical background. What about other bands?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Gary, there are plenty of English speaking singers who I don't always understand. But if I like the music and melody and the way the singer projects the lyrics then I'm good with that. Which happens a lot for me with BAND-MAID. On a new song without seeing the lyrics on screen I'll rarely catch the English. I believe Asami lived in the US for awhile yet I can't understand her singing English. That's why they loved FROM NOW ON. 🤣
@@jkkansasband7056 Jk i'm not talking about you, i'd never do that. It was for the reactors.😂
@@GaryHolloway-810 I know you weren't commenting about me. I was just spewing my thoughts about foreign singers speaking English. The reactors had a major problem with Saiki's English. So these guys better stick with the instrumentals. Honesty is the best policy and helps the viewer make their own choice to continue or not. 😎 Hey I saw that Kanami said the album is finished and was starting to record something on her own. Very interesting comment. 🎸🎵
Hey guys, its totally your peragative to not not vibe with a song or a group. But there are better ways of expressing that in an honest way so as not to be offensive to the group or its fandom.
1 - is by not comparing them to a group or style of music you obviously prefer.
2 - is by not making comments like, "I feel like this has gone on too long" or " I've seen cover bands or covers of bands better than this" or "This is G level material compared to what Babymetal has done "
There are nuanced ways of providing an honest reaction and respectful to the material.
I'm okay if you never do another Band-Maid reaction as I don't think there is anything for you here.
Don't be one of those channels that starts crying about pushback and toxic fans after being disrespectful to the group and by extension its passionate fan base.
Cheers SCK.👍
This singer had an epic concert. A high point of the 3 and a half hours was when, as a rookie pianist, she went solo on grand piano and delivered a slow, stripped-down performance and made an up tempo song an emotional experience. I love Saiki, her tone and her balls of steel in front of their biggest crowd 👌🤘💪🔥❤
Well that was difficult to sit through. 😂 As your name says, Honest Reactions, so your opinion is your opinion. TBH, this song, from this show in particular, was not the best song for a first time listen to Saiki, as a new listener you will have no history or context to what's happening. This was their 10th Anniversary Tour Finale and during this song the Maids were very emotional and if the CC was on, you would have seen Saiki thanking the fans for their support and because of the fans, they have made here to their 10th Anniversary. They play this song as a song for fan appreciation. They even added a special verse for this show, just to immortalize this moment with thank you in mind for the fans. "For making today Possible. For letting our voices join together, Thank you! From now, always. We'll never forget this view shared with you." The crack you heard was her emotions coming out... BTW...this was song 33 on the night on a 3hr and 40min concert, where Saiki did sing 29 of those songs. As for the English, she does have an accent, but English is obviously not her first language and I'll give you her English is not as good as some of the Japanese singers. But heck, some singers in the US can speak proper English either...Context. I like Baby Metal, One OK Rock, Lovebites, Nemophila, Maximum the Hormone and a whole bunch of other groups/singers/bands. But I don't compare them side by side to throw shade on one band. Do I prefer some over the other if were ranking them, sure, but I don't criticize one over. Especially since other than being Japanese, all of them are different. Whether it be idol/metal, hard rock, metal, speed metal, death metal and some crossover. And saying one member of another band should do this a song for another bands member...that's disrespectful. Especially since most of these bands are friends and support each other. Honest opinions can remain honest...but really...you could have just said, "I did not like that song. It's just not in my wheelhouse." "She sounded like she was straining on this song. Hey let us know if there was something going on with her voice". BTW...again for context and not trying to throw shade on any band, as I love all of these bands...Single show setlist...Baby-Metal setlist shows 10 to 12 songs. One OK Rock, 16 to 18 songs. Band-Maid US tour 18 to 22 songs and in Japan usually 22 to 23.
Well, I hope you continue with Band-Maid as they are a wonderful band. And if you don't, it's OK and thank you for reacting to the Maids. PO!🕊 🤟😆🤟
Attention madiacs. . this is how to do constructive criticism 🤘
Tbf If you compare to Babymetal they used to have 2.5 hrs long concerts and they dance all the way down to the ending with exhaustion and sweats all over their faces.
Now their setlist are way shorter but this year they have played hundreds of live shows around the world tour. I watched that Band-Maid video about their touring too, that's not easy to do, sleep schedule, constant moving, weather,....
@@BadEnd98 As a babymetal fan I have to call out your incorrect info:D. BABYMETAL has literally never had concerts that are 2.5 hours long. The longest concert babymetal has ever had was when they played at Wembley Arena and that was around 1hour and 50 minutes
That may have been your honest reaction. If so, you guys haven’t a clue.
Not your fault at all. You guys walked into the middle of a movie without any context or explanation.
This song, and a couple others, are absolutely not for new listeners. My apologies for you getting tossed like that.
“Endless Story” is for seasoned listeners and fans of the band who know their entire history. Terrible selection for new listeners. Fans of the band at that show were sobbing in the aisles. Saiki’s voice breaking at the end was her overwhelmed emotions at what was happening in the moment. Just like when Rod Stewart started crying during his live acoustic performance of “Have I Told You Lately.”
Band Maid is an exceptional group of musicians with an eclectic catalog. I argue they have the widest musical range of any modern musical artist bar none.
And their journey from the dream of a 19 year old Japanese girl to a powerhouse rock band in Yokohama Arena is worthy of a full length feature film.
You started with “From Now On,” which is exactly the song Saiki chooses for opening festivals where few people know them. Perfect for song #1.
Here’s a few choices to get you back into the proper lane of travel. Let us know when you’re ready for something wild.
“DICE,” OMV
“the non-fiction days,” OMV
“Don’t you tell ME,” LIVE from the same Yokohama show
“Moratorium,” LIVE
“Onset,” LIVE another instrumental
Any of these songs will land easier for anyone unfamiliar with the band.
Someday, after a few dozen songs and watching the documentaries on the band, return to this song. Your reactions will be completely changed, guaranteed 🤘🏽
Don't bother. Their minds are made up.
It's great to be 'honest'. It actually saddens me when I see reactors deliberately praising a song or performance that they don't like.
However, to be honest means that that reactor's knowledge, appreciation of music, and sense of taste are honestly revealed. ―― Yes, it also exposes to the viewers his/her narrow knowledge, poor understanding, and lack of respect for the music and its performers.
That is very scary, isn't it?
@IslandVibes57 Haha, you better work on your reading comprehension skills.
Because any opinion will give the same impression when you apply your stereotypical interpretation to it. (^_^)v
@IslandVibes57 TROLL!
@@MCLHEF Yeah... he/she is a poor sad person, isn't he/she? He/She doesn't realize that he/she is cursing at his/her reflection in the mirror.
No, it's more comical than sad?...... 😝
You are right. Lately I have come to be able to somewhat identify personalities by the expressions on the reactors' faces. Like it or not, unfortunately, more and more people seem to have no sense of care or respect for listeners or artists.
@IslandVibes57
I fully understand that everyone has their own preferences, but I find it disgusting when people make fun of others and find it funny.
BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘 is forever my number 1 but give these ladies more chances. They have many amazing songs and have quickly become one of my favorites too. Secret my Lips, Puzzle, Dice, Play, Different are some of my favorites. She does have a beautiful voice. As others said this was a loooooooooong performance.
I wish more of the comments were like this, although the ones I've read so far are, thankfully, measured. (There's probably the crazy 1% down there somewhere, who should just be ignored.) But yeah, this a special song for AFTER somebody understands how intense and musically intricate Band-Maid usually are.
I've been to see Babymetal twice & both times they were awesome. But i'm a Maidiac thru & thru & i don't like them disrespecting BAND-MAID by calling them "G League".
@@interstellardave Totally agree, spot on, Dave.👍
You guys totally missed the boat on this song......this was the final song at their 10th Anniversary 3 1/2 hour show and the crowd went crazy!!!!!! SHOW some freckin RESPECT !!!!! No scribe from me
Comparing them to Babymetal is nonsense.
Comparison of oranges and apples....................
I cannot understand why Babymetal is used for comparison.
i highly doubt su can do this song. I prefer the lower voice for this than the higher voice su would have. It's just a preference i have. Not trying to say others can't prefer babymetal but i do prefer band maid
You guys totally whiffed on this review. First, you need to turn on the closed captions to get the context of Saiki's speech. This was at the end of a 3+ hour concert where they belted out over 30 songs. The band was thanking the fans for their support for the past 10 years because it was thanks to them for watching and sharing their first music video "Thrill" is why they are still together. The band even added an extra verse to this song just for this concert and occasion. Also, don't compare Band-Maid to Baby Metal because that's like comparing apples to oranges. One is a group of musicians who write, compose and perform their own music and the other is an idol group who do choreography with a backing band. There's nothing wrong with either they're just different. Finally, you need to let us know what you're into so we can make better recommendations. Do you want guitar, drums, bass or vocals? Do you want fast, slow, poppy, punk or metal? May want to give it another go.
This is a song for their fans, not for you reactor who knows nothing. It's full of emotion for both the Band and their fans. That Saiki's voice it's call emotion, not a crack.
I'm sorry if this is the first BAND-MAID for you. It's not representative for what they do...even though they put in a slow song here and there. This version is more for the fans (lyrics are important) I hope you'll check out more of their songs. They are really awesome and fantastic musicians and song writers. Check out songs like Moratorium, Domination, Puzzle, Dice....and more!
There’s no reason for anyone to have to judge a band or a song only after experience (i.e., knowing that this was the last song of along concert or the emotion resonance of the 10th anniversary, or any of that stuff) and certainly no reason to say anything other than one’s honest opinion. I respect your judgement on the song and understand why you didn’t like it. I’m not going to suggest that you don’t have well-formed opinions based on knowledge, as do some of the angry commenters who preceded me. But I will respectfully suggest that you did cross the line that separates “critical” from “mean” here.
I don't understand why they hate Saiki so much. Her ability to control the audience and convey emotions is great, and she is outstanding not only in her performances but also in her live performances. It seems that they hate Saiki just by looking at her. When they say that it would be better if the vocalist was Sue, or that her English pronunciation sounds like she might be sick, they are probably expressing their honest contempt. To me, it seems that they are looking down on the Japanese live culture itself. Being honest is fine, but being rude is a problem.
Leave them alone, it's disgusting, you don't have to react to Band-Maid again, so stop making fun of Japanese people!! Go ahead and laugh!! Your Japanese must be pretty good？🤣
It’s obvious Band Maid is above your level of musical comprehension. Maybe you should react to something a little less extreme. No disrespect intended. Just saying.
Form Japan BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL are completely different, but they are fighting in the same world of rock music. BABYMETAL is able to demonstrate their own abilities with the support and financial resources of Japan's best composers, choreographers, and stage directors. BAND-MAID is in control of everything themselves. People have different opinions about singers, I was a fan of Sue, but now I like Saiki. I feel that Saiki is more suitable as a rock singer.
Why can't you be a fan of both? Why is it so hard for one fan of a group to like another?
@@mikepowers9486 I was born in Hiroshima, Sue's hometown, and was a fan of BABYMETAL and Sue before I knew BAND-MAID. However, I was concerned about the influence of adults rather than the members, and the importance placed on the intentions of the production company, and my heart grew distant. I think their talent and efforts are amazing, but all I can say is that it just doesn't feel right. This has nothing to do with BAND-MAID. I'm still a Beatles fan and John Lennon is my most favorite talent.
You do not have the knowledge of music theory to analyze a song, you don't have the understanding of vocal technique or the playing skills of the respective instruments. Please do not be arrogant or make comments that demean the artist.
this commentsection really strenghtens my believe that A LOT of band-maid fans fucking hate babymetal. The amount of seething just because you dared to wonder how this song would sound if Su sung it is so god damn funny:D. The fact that band-maid fans only argument against babymetal is that "they don't write their own songs" is also laughable. I would rather listen to a good song written by others than a shit song written by the band members:D. And no I'm not saying all band-maid songs are shit. They definitely have some bangers but this "bandmaid is the best band in the universe" stuff lot of you B-M fans say is ridiculous.
I feel Band-Maid's longevity and success will become Endless Stories in the annals of Rock ‘n Roll history! Once you "Honest" guys learn more about Band-Maid, I think you'll agree. If you don't look further, it's only your loss. Oh and, FYI, Band-Maid writes their own songs (over 130) and play their own instruments. If they were as bad as you "guys" think, they wouldn't have such a solid, worldwide fanbase with over 400 concerts, and over 200 million YT views. So, it looks like your "opinion" -- and you have every right to have one -- is rarely shared.
Some news...
-- The Warning, a world-famous band from Mexico, and BAND-MAID recently completed their amazing 2-man, collab concert in Japan with the introduction of their new song, “Show Them.”
-- BAND-MAID released a new song, "Bestie," co-written with Mike Einziger of INCUBUS! The MV dropped May 1. And Band-Maid's new album is nearly ready.
-- BAND-MAID HALL TOUR 2024 -- July 5, 2024 (Fri) Osaka, Fenice Sakai Main Hall, -- July 14, 2024 (Sun) Kanagawa Kenmin Hall, Kanagawa -- July 21 OSAKA GIGANTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2024 -- Aug 16 RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2024 in EZO -- Aug 17 SUMMER SONIC 2024 -- Sept. 8, 2024 TREASURE 05X Festival in Laguna Beach, Gamagori
you are kidding right? They are a little group with a little following. You just say they write their own songs and the first thing you tell us about their new song is is co-written by Mike Einziger...So which is it? They are playing Osaka in Fenice Sakai Main Hall, sounds huge!!! Why not Osaka Dome, Why not Osaka-Jo Hall?
This song has really moved up for me as one of my favorites by the Maids.
Seriously guys, why do western reactors always compare to Baby metal. Baby metal is not even a band. They are a theatre production. In Japan, absolutely nobody would compare the two. One is a band, one is an Idol group. It’s like comparing a concert to Disney on ice.
No offence to Baby metal fans. I’m not a fan, but have met members of Idol groups and they are some of the hardest working performers in the Industry, respect.
@@interstellardave 😂
Babymetal=Disney on Ice? Humn? Don't know if you are dissing Babymetal or overpraising Disney on Ice. lol :)
@@CHRISCONTEPSS sorry it’s the only one I could think of at the time. The point is Baby Metal is a production with sole rights and ownership belonging to the production company. To the average listener they neither care or understand the difference, but to a musician ( I’m not one) there are very big differences. In Japan people are fans of both but definitely don’t see them as the same thing. A lot of people in Japan are actually fans of the production companies and will follow any new group put together by that company. Johnny’s, now known as Smile-Up is one of the biggest idol group ( boy band) production companies in Japan with a fan club membership of over 3 million.
@@davidcarroll3312 No worries. I get it. . .I have thougt of Babymetal as a music theater production since day one. It just made me laugh because I was in DOI for 5 years touring. . . . so I'm very aware. . . although I think Babymetal is a much better production and doesn't sell snow cones and plastic swords in their merch section. . . lol
Saw both bands last year. They are both awesome live!!!!! :)
@@CHRISCONTEPSS you were in DOI ? Sounds like and interesting story, would like to chat to you more about that but here’s not the place. With your obvious experience you would definitely recognise Baby metal as a theatre production and appreciate it for what it is. If people like Baby metal, good on them and I hope it brings them as much joy as the music I listen to brings me. It just annoys me when reactors who are supposed to know something about music and the industry are comparing two different different forms of entertainment. It’s like they’re Japanese and they’re girls, so they’re the same. Would you compare Jesus Christ superstar to Led Zeppelin?
I’ve seen Band Maid live a number of times and am off to Osaka on Friday to see them again 🤘
Jeesus, talk about displaying your ignorance to the world at large.
Actually, it was a THIRTY THREE song set list. Being their last song of a 3 1/2 hour concert and the conclusion of their 10th anniversary tour, she wasn't just wore out, it was a very emotional moment for her and all the members. It was a dream realized. A honest reaction is always appreciated, but it has little validity if it is not based in knowledge. Thus, I believe you get a pass on this one. I'd suggest Bubble or Daydreaming to get a better idea of her vocal range and talent. As for comparing vocal talents of Band Maid to BabyMetal, well... that'd be like comparing Janet Jackson to Joni Mitchell. Just sayin'.
Cheers
BAND-MAID is absolutely amazing 🤘🤗
Please keep reacting to them, the singer has a very refreshing and great voice 😊
Everyone is extremely talented, I will guarantee you will love them 😄
You just got a really meaningful song as request, so don't worry, they will turn you over 😉 Maybe try "Warning", "Shambles" or "Freedom".
You can't compare them to BABYMETAL, they are actually very different from each other and both are quite unique in their own way.
Take care ✌️
I hope they DON'T react to anymore Band-Maid.
Nah, their minds are made up.

@@silentwood207 they dont agree with me...they suck...😂😂😂
From Japan I don't mean to say that this song is the last song of 3 hours and 30 minutes and 33 songs. I don't think it's because her ability to control the crowd or convey emotions is inferior. I'm just saying that there are people who can't feel it. When people feel that it's not theirs, they start looking for things they don't like and don't try to see the good in it. However, they should know that there were many ordinary fans who watched this song with tears in their eyes.
Just from a business model standpoint point, could you imagine anyone making disparaging comments about their honest reactions without any obvious understanding of the subject at hand that their donor graced them with their donations. Honestly? What’s the point of all this?
I am an Ascap and BMI published artist. Band Maid with it's superior composition ability and time signature changes throughout many of their compositions are obviously far above your unknown musical abilities and apparent novice musical comprehension. You are both just Another group of pretenders to avoid!
Tbf, for average listener they don't need to care about those 'superior composition'.
Mocking reactions？
Adidas cap？
I tried to laugh but held in 🤣
If you're into more dynamic song with more complexities, this is one of their softest songs where only fans or particular type of people who can emotionally relate to.
They are one of those bands that you have to listen to at least 10 songs before forming any kind of judgement, because they are so versatile.
And most of their songs have the catchy chorus but deceptively complex, of course some are more radio-friendly and easy-listening.
Fans are so emotionally attached to this song and even though it's nowhere near complex or fast and chaotic like most of their recent songs are, sometimes it really doesn't matter much. It's a great live song.
👍👍👍👍👍 for BAND-MAID none for
👍👍👍👍👍
When you were comparing this to the same vocal pattern from BABYMETAL, were you aware that Band-Maid came out with this four years before BABYMETAL's song with the same pattern? It wouldn't be Su saying, "Wait, that's our song!" It would be Band-Maid hearing BABYMETAL and saying, "Wait, that's OUR song!" By the way, I love both bands, but Band-Maid did do this first.
for crap sake guys not every song in a 3.5+ hour concert can be an out and out banger, would get boring. 33 songs if I remember correctly from hard rock, acoustic, mertal, ballads - light and shade. She had sang for almost 3.5 hours and this song was the last one I think of their 10th anniversarry concert. very emotional her voice was cracking up with emotion, near tears. OK you dont like them and obviously big babymetal fans. But pretty crap way of putting thinks. Can you not see the tears at the end. No subscription from me
The donor who requested this song most probably did not take consideration that these two reactors, being very new to BM (having previously only listened to the instrumental, From Now On) have zero context with regard to the song, the concert, the significance of the concert and BM's history.
Consequently, they could only react from an extremely narrow perspective. Having said that, a little research before reacting to the video as well as turning on the CC, might have might have given them more valuable insight into BM and the concert's significance.
Anyway, I think they should now simply give up reacting to BM since the prejudice has already set in. Going forward from here, they can only hear Saiki's "weak vocals" and it won't be useful from any angle.
This is the last song of 3hr 44mins concert
Pearls before Swine
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
I'm not gonna bag on you guys, just gonna pack up my stuff and move on the next reaction vid. They have alotta great songs (130+ over 10 years), including this one. You guys just happen upon a song that has alot of context, and as this your your first listen you don't know this. I hope you give them another chance, maybe "Hate?" (live). I love both Band Maid and Babymetal, but they are two totally different things on many levels. Peace 🤘
Band Maid is not for you. No worries. There’s plenty else out there. But to say that Saiki’s voice is horrible, I’d say ten plus years of international success is the appropriate counter argument. Happy listening gentlemen.
Guys, I used to respect BabyMetal, but I never really liked them because I always considered them a product/abomination created by an artist management agency and for being the complete opposite of what a real rock band should be... you know, a group of musicians who get together through word of mouth or social media messages and find they have good chemistry to write music together and play live.
And while I love the talent of Kami Band, the rest of BabyMetal is everything that I dislike about idol K-Pop and those UA-camrs who are unable to react to a song on their own, without you having to buy them a coffee first.
Band-Maid and BM are incomparable. 😉
Ahahah that was funny. But yes we totally agree that they can't be compared since they are completely different formats.
I wonder what does any of this have even remotely to do with k-pop though xD

But that "G league version of stuff Babymetal does" comment was nasty dude wtf! I don't know if you're just trying to ride the fandom war train or over playing your "honest" tagline, Or mabe you're really just an ahol.. What I do know is, that specific comment was not honesty, It was straight disrespectful.

I'm curious who donated you react to this song. Don't try Bestie and Memorable until you've tried some of their other songs.
These ladies rock their own instruments there's no comparison to Babymetal here please do not react to the Maids again
Yea, no comparison...One sucks!!! The other is best ever to come out of Japan...go cry some more🤣
We get it, you like Babymetal. Pretty narrow minded. This is one of the best rock bands of our time. Voice cracking over 3.5 hours and 33 songs in. Now go watch some choreography. 🙄
Sarcasm about choreography? Who is being "Narrow minded" here?
I am huge fan of BOTH bands and saw both of them live on their most recent US tours. Both packed the house then brought it down! Two of the best shows I have ever seen. . .and I appreciate how different they are. I am so tired of people not realizing how difficult singing is and don't consider singers musicians. . .Give me a break. Ever tried singing live in front of hundreds or thousands of people? I am drummer and a choreographer. I can tell you dancing at the level some groups do it can be way harder than playing an instrument as it is more physically taxing whilst being just as exacting. Most people who dis it know nothing about it, and could not get through 2 measures of dance choreo without f'ing up! Now try singing at the same time.
Its fine if choreo w/ rock/metal is not your thing, but to imply it does not take the same dedication effort and ability as it does to play an instrument is not narrow minded. . . it's just ignorant.
@@CHRISCONTEPSS I’ve seen Band-Maid 4 times and I am going to see Babymetal next month. I like both. Just needed to throw a check (hockey fan too).
@@CHRISCONTEPSS Conceptually, what is the difference between BabyMetal and any other act with a singer flanked by choreo in front of an anonymous group of musicians? That is root of the negative comparisons. I am a Babymetal fan, think Su has a great voice and the producers pick good musicians to play the songs. Since they went away from the Rondo of Nightmare style band and went with the platypus masks I *have* found it harder to enjoy, ngl.
33 song set list
Ok comparing babymetal to band maid was ur 1st mistep , nevermind im gonna a vid on it shortly
Last song of a 3 and a half hour 30+ song show.
It seems like you guys don't know anything. I'm sorry. I want you to know how great this band is, but it seems impossible for you, who are so prejudiced, to know. By the way, BABYMETAL is not a band, but an idol. They are just idols who cannot exist without Kami Band.
"They are just idols who cannot exist without Kami Band." but they can, and they did, even before the Kami band existed 🤷♂
They did exist, but they were idols called Sakura Gakuin, and they were just idols. BABYMETAL was born out of the idea that it would be interesting to combine idol and heavy metal as a project. Lately, I've been writing lyrics, but I haven't been able to compose music. In the first place, even comparing it to BAND-MAID is fundamentally different.
@@TheLeomarti No. The skeleton suits weren't playing anything, Kami band is just a name for whichever group of studio musicians the production company has playing. Last I checked, which was at least one, maybe two albums ago, BM has had 15+ guitarists playing for them.
@@markyg236 not sure you're replying to the right person ^^ unless it's meant to confirm what I was saying
@@TheLeomarti No, I'm disagreeing. Yes there was an entity named Babymetal before the backing band was given a name, but there has always been a backing band. Last I saw Moa had learned some basic guitar but none of them play on albums or in performances.
Sui, do not even reach up to the ankles off Saiki in ability and voice 😅
These two dudes don't know much about music, especially the dude on the right side🤮
Disrespecting nobodys🖕
You people not ready for a really great band like Band Maid! You better back to your Babymetal!
This is music played by a band who write their music and play their instruments, and have nothing in common with Babymetal thank God. The last of 33 songs. Anyway, you succeeded in giving Babymetal a bad name, by association.
yea we can tell, thats why it sucks and no one cares. the last of 33 songs...excuses excuses...🤣
Look at the number of comments and dislikes. There's no dislikes on their reaction video to a Hanabie music video despite them hating it more than this Band-Maid video. This proves Band-Maid fans are insanely toxic along with Babymetal and Lovebites ones. They can't tolerate any criticism about their favorites since they're practically worshippers.
糞袋を食らえ！
lol. There was PLENTY of dislikes on their Hanabie reaction aswell. Are you blind? Or are you just blindly ignoring the hateful comments Hanabie fans make?:D. And the hanabie reaction also had 3 times less views than this reaction for example so ofcourse there were less comments:D. So my point is pretty much every single fandom has these toxic people in it so you acting like Hanabie fans are "better" than others is just ridiculous
@@Tyyppl Actually, I was talking about the ratio, so the views don't matter.
BABYMETAL and BAND-MAID should not be compared. BABYMETAL is an idol group with a backing band, created by the management's strategy, while BAND-MAID is an artist who created their own band, composed, performed, and produced their own music. Furthermore, in terms of genre, there is no band that can be compared to BAND-MAID. BAND-MAID is BAND-MAID.
You do not know enough about musical (music) theory to analyze it, nor do you have any understanding for vocal technique and instrumental skills. . Please don't speak haughtily, and don't speak from a superior position. You will only expose your ignorance and lack of understanding.
it's BABYMETAL. One word.
He is comparing music...They dont care how or who or when the music was made. They listened to it. Only nerds like you need to dive into their backstory.
I will try to be polite, Band Maid for 10 years made many millions people around the globe to love them! I think how this amazing band started to choose who they want to love them and who they don't want to love them. Probably they don't want you to love them. Great desigion ladies! Well done girls! Now I will not be polite. You are 2 idiots and this is gona be for a long, long time, I think for the rest of your lifes.
millions???? 🤣🤣🤣
I'm gonna unsubscribe right freaking now! ....just so i can re-subscribe. Dont let the haters get to yall.
Yeah. You guys lost me as fan. Sorry. Criticism is ok. But you missed the boat totally. And kept going .
Bye Bye
oh youre leaving? Dont go...🤣🤣
@@onigiri9964 糞袋を食らえ！
Babymetal's music was created by others. BM created their music from scratch by themselves
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth.
They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot die hard fans too.
The song is "Set the world on fire"
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
I don't tend to hate your reaction...I'm not blind and toxic BM fan and You have every right to an "honest" opinion...
This is definitely not a good song for first reaction at all, this is a special kind of anthem song (thanks to the fans), it's the end of a 3+ hour concert and the song has no special musical value.
If this is how the quality of singing is valued, it doesn't make sense to refer you to Christmas acoustic, or the fact that the Japanese doesn't even have certain consonants in the language (L), therefore they can't even speak English fluently, less sing, Saiki almost cries half the song...because you're going to use Babymetal as a benchmark?
Babymetal is not a group, but a corporate idol project, with all the machinery behind it... and you just love the idea of metal sound behind that project (half of the performances are fake, they often don't play live), there are no Babymetal backing vocals, only tracks (2 girls are performers, not singers!), and Su-metal singing is...rudimental?
"First reaction" format can't set standards for comparison without knowing some background, but at the end of the day it's your channel and I respect your way...even though I personally find it wrong...
Maybe it's more "honest": I like it / not my cup of tea?
_"half of the performances are fake, they often don't play live"_ they what now ? 😂
@@TheLeomarti I was flowing with his comment too...until that statement. I like Babymetal and this would be eye opener to find out they have not been playing live. I only remembered in the very beginning, the skeletons were not really playing the instruments, but I thought the vocal were always live.
@@BRO-HI808 Yes Su is always live
Well Su-Metal sings a lot in English, guess the L is fine for her. Some of Babymetal backing is tracks, sure...They are dancing...its the same for nearly every single group in the world that dances. Those 2 girls dance all the time unlike other groups. If you think that Band-Maid just does everything by themselves and has no help you are pretty stupid...every group in the world has other people helping. This song is an anthem song? haha...try metal kingdom by babymetal that is an anthem song!!!!
We all have different taste, and that’s a very good thing. Another good thing is honest reactors that don’t go “Ah” and Oh” and “love” everything to get likes. For some strange reason, Band-Maid always get compared to the metal cabaret called Babe Metal, although they have nothing in common. I do get that some like Baby Metal better as they are heavies and the musicians in the background are more technical. With that said, this is the first time I heard someone prefer their “squeaky toy voices” to the mature voice of a woman like Saiki. That to me is a mystery!
Pretty sure it's just called different register or something, since both are "mature voice of a woman" being almost the same age 🤷♂
@@TheLeomarti it’s not about age, it’s about how they sound. A woman’s voice compared to the sound of a toy.
@@TheLeomarti although, to be fair, the voices of the Baby Metal girls has improved over the years. In the beginning it was unbearable and now it’s only unpleasant.
@@nussekuddenxxx6564 seems like we agree then ahah, it's just your personal preference of sound, nothing to do with Saiki supposedly being "the mature one" over Su
@@TheLeomarti Some of us might prefer the sound of a child's voice over a woman's voice. That does not mean that we can't hear the difference. What we can't tell is if it's a child with a woman's voice or a woman's with a child's voice.
no way they said babymetal is almost the same thing but better LOL. No doubt music is subjective
I agree that babymetal is better but it's definitely not a same thing since they play completely different genres:D
You guys are clueless. Maybe stick to reacting to Tommy James & The Shondells, or Bread.
