Miku usually gets one song per album where she is lead vocals. Miku's songs are (in order of release): 1. "Summer Drive" 2. "Big Dad" 3. "Beauty And The Beast" 4. "Time" 5. "Rock In Me" 6. "Sayonakidori" (Nightingale) 7. "Brightest Star" To hear her sing try the acoustic version of "Sayonakidori". The MV is on their channel. (And Akane the drummer is on backing vocals)! She also has a solo project under the name Cluppo where she sings a genre she calls "Hippy-Pop-Po". She has MV's on her channel
Great reaction and in most of their songs MIku provides all vocal embellishments, coughs, screams, trills, pigeon sounds, harmonies, etc. She's a one woman vocal machine. MISA said in an interview that Why, Why, Why the song she enjoyed the best off the "Unseen World" album. Thanks for continuing to react to Band-Maid.
Band-Maid has landed upon in the past few years how to best utilize Miku's wonderful voice -- harmonies, octaves, screams -- the perfect complement to Saiki's rock and roll lead voice. Listen to Miku on Black Hole and her harmonies perform the role of the soaring violins in Brahms 4th symphony 1st movement. Classically trained Kanami truly has a full orchestra at her disposal, and Miku's voice for all the colors she adds is a critical piece.
I like to say that Miku is less a "backup" singer as the alternate singer for songs where they make sense. It's a small percentage (See Davey's list in the comments), but basically the band knew that Miku's voice wasn't quite right to be up front in the majority of songs, which is why Saiki was brought in as the last component of the band. Saiki is the icing on the cake, but Miku's singing is a big ingredient in the cake. Not an afterthought, but a crucial component. Two great singers, each contributing where they are needed. Why not?
Yes, Saiki is the frosting.... Kanami is the flour, the foundation.... Akane are the eggs, the structure.... MISA is the butter, for richness and flavor and Miku is the baking powder that makes this cake rise. 🍰🤘
What I also love about this video is that Miku & Misa are down on the floor with the tech crew, facing the other Maids up on the stage. It can be seen clearly in quite a few of the shots. Always something a bit different with these women.
I LOVE this song! This is one of my favorites from "Unseen World", such a fun little diamond if the rough, BANGER! .......very underrated I've said it before many times that Miku and Saiki are the greatest synchronized vocal duo since Cindy and Kate from B-52's, and they were the best.
I went through the process of picking my top 10 BM songs, which was difficult, and I was surprised that this song made the list. It just has everything I love about BM
3 of my favourite BM songs do not have solos at all - Gion Cho (Band Maiko) for which there is a MV and Forbidden Tale & The One off of Epic Narratives. Epic Narratives also has a MV. Play, a great live song also doesn't have a solo in the studio version but live it generally gets expanded to add all sorts of goodies, the official live version is well worth checking out too.
“Different”, “start over”, “glory”, “At the drop of the hat”, “About Us” are other songs without a solo. From their older songs, “Price of Pride”, “Don’t Let Me Down” and “Smile” don’t have solos but they weren’t composed by BAND-MAID.
More peeks at an important, transformational group known as Band-Maid - a band relatively few rockers have even heard of. Why Why Why! Such a great, fun song! 🤯Thx, Sohum!
That smoothness mainly comes from diaphragm, like you say. There is an old rumor that Frank Sinatra used to jump in the pool and hold his breath under water to strengthen his diaphragm control.
Miku generally has one lead vocal song per album. Actually, on the first 2 albums, Saiki and Miku would trade verses a good bit, but later, Saiki and Miku settled more into a lead/backup structure. Miku lead songs are Big Dad, Beauty and the Beast, Time, Rock in Me, Sayonakidori, and the newest from Epic Narratives, Brightest Star. A pigeon also told me there is another artist you may like called Cluppo...🕊️☮️♥️
Miku used to sing much more often on Band-Maid tracks - shared verses, call and response, double lead vocal lines, as well as close harmonies. Saiki was lead vocalist, but it was more like shared vocals on the first few albums. It's only really from Conqueror onwards that Saiki does the lion's share of the vocals with Miku mainly harmonising unless she is singing "her songs" (songs written for her to take lead vocals). On Epic Narratives, she spends a lot of time screaming, something (the screaming) that seemed to start on Conqueror and then become more pronounced on Unseen World and Unleash. For example, a song like "Toi et Moi" has divided fans because she spends so much time screaming rather than singing. Quite frankly, it's up to the ear of the listener whether they like Miku's screaming, and it can have a great impact (like on "Manners"), but I personally prefer to hear her sing like she did on the first few albums with maybe some screaming for dramatic effect. Just the opinion of one committed Maidiac. "Why Why Why" is a kickass song (and one of my faves off Unseen World), and it really demonstrates how diverse Miku's vocal contribution is to Band-Maid all in one song.
For a long time I thought Miku was a better singer, but eventually I realized that Saiki is pulling off acrobatics with her voice and making it look easy. And she has generally been singing someone else's notes and lyrics and bringing real emotion to them. I actually think they're both absolutely fantastic vocalists.
This song is a cracker. One of the lesser known tracks from Unseen World that has become a great fan fave. In my top five. I have a feeling that Miku has longer breath, than Saiki. Genre- Spice Girls meets Steve Via.
Miku has greater range while Saiki more power, a perfect compliment. Miku is clearly the most 'Kawaii" and she works at it, while Misa is the most popular with fans, as is said in a few interviews.
You must react to Sayonakidori with Miku on lead vocals 😁 do both the original live version and the acoustic live version of the song. Both versions are amazing😍 Great reaction of a great song😀👍
Saiki is the better vocalist, she has control of more of the tools. But if you need a Maid to hit a note and sustain it, Kobato's your girl. They each in turn sustain a long note at the end of "Influencer" which sounds great on the album. Live, Kobato pulled it off better. Thanks for the reaction!
I wouldn't say "better." I'd say "different." Saiki's voice is better suited to the music they generally play. It's lower, darker and fuller, albeit with less range. Miku's voice is brighter, thinner with a larger range. But her timbre doesn't really fit what they play most of the time...and Miku realized that early on. Her voice works well in the background as her timbre helps cut through thr back ground clutter of sound
@@armynurseboySaiki's range is a bit over 3 octaves, which is still impressive and Miku has about a half octave wider. Actually Miku can go tad lower than Saiki, but Saiki's low voice is more velvety and has more vibrato. Miku's voice is suited for poppier songs.

Miku spends fully 12% of Toi et Moi screaming, from their latest album. I counted.
Miku usually gets one song per album where she is lead vocals. Miku's songs are (in order of release):
1. "Summer Drive"
2. "Big Dad"
3. "Beauty And The Beast"
4. "Time"
5. "Rock In Me"
6. "Sayonakidori" (Nightingale)
7. "Brightest Star"
To hear her sing try the acoustic version of "Sayonakidori". The MV is on their channel. (And Akane the drummer is on backing vocals)!
She also has a solo project under the name Cluppo where she sings a genre she calls "Hippy-Pop-Po". She has MV's on her channel
For each member of Band Maid it is always for the betterment of the song. Dedication to perfection.

Black Hole and Giovanni both...where the vocal harmonies are a perfect match for the musical chaos. What a band 👌💪🔥🥳🤘🤘🤘

That is the perfect analogy. Now I'm hungry. 🤘✌

Always something a bit different with these women.
If you like Miku, be prepared for a double dip of Sayonakidori ! You've been warned ! 🤯
No, he's been Maid. 😂
I LOVE this song! This is one of my favorites from "Unseen World", such a fun little diamond if the rough, BANGER! .......very underrated

Kanami Pushes both singers in her song writing to expand their range.
💜💛❤💙💚
Now you have to do Sayonakidori Live and acoustic as a double.
Coming right up...🎆🎇

I enjoy them asking Why, but I'm pretty sure I know why.
Such a groovy song! Great reaction. Enjoying your content. Cheers!
Thanks so much!!

Love the Pigeon Scream ❤, Po!
I think Miku is about 80% lungs. She doesn't even need a microphone half the time.
That smoothness mainly comes from diaphragm, like you say. There is an old rumor that Frank Sinatra used to jump in the pool and hold his breath under water to strengthen his diaphragm control.
I have a playlist of songs featuring Miku screams and shouts. My favorite shout of all time is from Manners, " DON'T SAY YOU LOVE MEEEEEE! " LOL
After life !
@@zolitoth2458Yeah yeah...yeah yeah yeah yeah!! 🤣
@@zolitoth2458 😁
You would probably like the band NEK! as the singer has a voice similar to Miku's and they have covered some Band Maid songs.
Miku generally has one lead vocal song per album. Actually, on the first 2 albums, Saiki and Miku would trade verses a good bit, but later, Saiki and Miku settled more into a lead/backup structure.
Miku lead songs are Big Dad, Beauty and the Beast, Time, Rock in Me, Sayonakidori, and the newest from Epic Narratives, Brightest Star.
A pigeon also told me there is another artist you may like called Cluppo...🕊️☮️♥️
Miku became the true backing vocal as she took on a bigger rhythm guitar role.
and Summer Drive

If you enjoy KOBATO’s singing you will definitely like the songs of CLUPPO.

Sohum I think by now you are ready for Rinne 👍

Do check out Miku's side project Cluppo.

You definitely want to listen to Miku's side project, Cluppo where she is the star of the show. ua-cam.com/video/kR-FPvYgPjM/v-deo.html
Miku did a pigeon call po!

Saiki starts with "surrender, " so technically they both can hold note equally long. Miku's scream is punchier though.
@@armynurseboySaiki's range is a bit over 3 octaves, which is still impressive and Miku has about a half octave wider.
Actually Miku can go tad lower than Saiki, but Saiki's low voice is more velvety and has more vibrato. Miku's voice is suited for poppier songs.
not quite the usual Po bird call you would hear from Miku but more please.
Three cheers for Miku!

Why,why,tell me why..the awesome rhythm sec. is still with the other losers?
