Until you guys start putting some sense and effort into the bloody USELESS, microscopic English subs, you don't deserve any support !
Band Maid deserve better !!!-
Thanks for the feedback! The size of subtitles is something set up on the users end. If you head to your sub options you can change the size up to 200%. Also there's a link in the description to a translated article version of the interview.
@@AtoJConnections ok. sorry.
Miku has that perfect bubbly extroverted anime voice and personality.
Saiki is shy ,rather introverted. and somewhat mysterious .
Kanami is sweet,unassuming,and humble.
Akane is organized and a natural with administrative duties
Misa uses few words and is also somewhat mysterious but not shy.
They compliment one another with the balance of their personalities and it lends itself well to their music!!!
wish they made an anime based on band maid
Shut up
Misa NOT shy...? That's why she drinks.
Misa always strikes me that she secretly has Cyclops-type laser eyes and she's just waiting for the right moment to get fed up with an interviewers nonsense and just destroy everything...
Saiki has the most wonderful death stare, Misa can sit totally in neutral, Akane is thinking menus and Kanami is composing but attentive. Miku is the super cute hard man of the group.
Here in 2021. Sometimes one of them finds & looks for a second at the camera this is shooting & for some reason my heart skips a beat, hold my breath & I say to myself "Oh sh*t, they caught me staring."
Miku is a very impressive young woman. "Of course we will play many concerts in Japan but we really want to conquer the world."
They're all so beautiful and talented! We do not deserve Band-maid. We are not worthy!
Get these talented musicians on American TV as soon as possible. This is the best hard rock band on the planet today. Period. They easily transcend cultural, national, age and language barriers. America awaits you ladies.
On the 8th day, God created Miku Kobato. And on the 9th, she created Band Maid !
The way Misa-San just looks in reserved quiet amusement at her band mates makes me tickle, she is so badass.
I actually understood 90% of what they were speaking Damn! Guess I've watched a little too many animes....
Damn! I actually understood only 90% of what they were speaking. I guess I need to watch a little more animes.
And?
I have a translation for this (was good japanese practise). Sry for the english. Its not very detailed, but ok i think.
First introducement of the Band members
Interviewer: As Band maid you have come around the world, but San Franzisko is the first time.
Miku: Yes
I: Since you are in S.F. have done smth. interesting like sightseeing etc?
Miku: something interesting? (to the other)
Other member: in the supermarket to pull shopping basket like you go for a stroll was surprising to me
Interviewer: The concept of Maid band please explain
Miku: Maid clothes wearing and hard rock playing.
Miku: I worked as Maid and like it, so why not form a band and combine the Music and Maid that I like and form a band. sorede, birth of bandmaid.
Interviewer: Explain how the other joined.
Miku: I searched per computer for the other members. at first i found a video how the gitarist is playing for herself and was hooked. The other 2 i became aquainted through kanami. sorede, only the singer was left. My voices alone was not enough so i searched for a siinger. After a little persuasion she also joined.
I: Was Band maids music influenced by someone?
At first we made more popish musik, before made hard rock. but we searched what fit best to us, and what is cool and so we came to rock. especially by no one influenced.
I. recently was daydreaming and choose me single released. talk about it
Miku: Both songs were by Kanami composed and arranged. (Kanami talked a little about it)
I: About all songs of band maid which do you like best.
Kanami: Because i had many hardships and put effor into daydreaming this is my favourite
Singer: (I did not hear the songname)
Miku: Alone
Next to Miku: Moratorium
Bassist: Play
I: at oversea live performances have you had any hardships
Miku: I am not well informed about the words and phrases, so i searched for ways how i make it understandable for the foreign crowd, and i did my best at it.
I: explain the differences about japan and oversea audience.
Miku: japanese audience says to the performance of band maid " serving a dinner" and they are pretty shy
On the other hand oversea people are very direct and throw in their body and soul, and say sings like kawaii very direct and easy to understand. If we give 100 we get back 1000 from the audience. As for throwing phrases at us, because its not so with jap. audience thats the biggest difference.
I: Tell about the set list
Miku: Sensei please explain the set list!
Singer: UA-cam songs are in the set-list included.
I: Of This times event please tell your thoughts
Miku: Because its our second time in Amerika we are super excited, and if we can "serve or dinner" this time as well, we are happy.
I: Were there interesting things that happened during live.
Singer: Hai, Miku fall down the stage.
Miku: Hai, during my magic spell time where I interact with the like "moe, moe" and so on, i lost view of the before me and fell off. Ne, Sai-chan you thought I dissappeared.
Singer: umm, i thought it was embarassing.
I. Tell about your upcoming plans
Miku: from middle of Septembre on in japan, sorekara Novembre in Europe live.
I: Last words please
Miku: Not only our fans in japan, because we are subjugate the world pleas oversea people also support us.
We appreciate the translation here, but we actually have one linked in the videos description. That said we hope it did provide you with practice and if you ever want more translation practice then you can drop us a message!
Oh, did not know.. まー、どうでもいい。遊びだけでしたよ。Ok, thanks for your offer!
小鳩さんの語尾に関わらず頭の良さが出てしまうw
Yes what miku said is amazing, i really like this interview, and the questions asked is not ordinary either. Especially when she said po... Its awesome, afterall that is the only thing i understand, but i watch it anyway.. 🤘
I don't know what's being said but I like it
Saiki has her happy face on as usual !
小鳩とそれ以外の温度差よ さいちゃん通夜かwww
All the ladies are beautiful. I think KANAMI is the most beautiful lady in the band.
Great interview, and thanks so much for the transcription + translation! There were some quite interesting questions I haven't heard before, very nice.
Thank you for watching and for the comment! Keep an eye out for other interviews we do!
*I LOVE MIKU OH ME JESUS LORD HELP SHES SO FLIPING CUTEE*
love band maid for sure. I wish interviews had subtitles though.
Kanami is the center of the Universe
Be nice to see English subtitles once in awhile. I bet you the other four members in the band. Are grateful that she does like 80% of the talkin !
I just love how Saiki glares at the press as if thinking "hey!.....I'm here to rock and this is getting in the way"
Saiki apparently is pretty cold and has an attitude, which is perfect for the group
Saiki is honest !!! Shy and don't like interviews. Miku is nice and full of personality !! Diff kind of personalities . I luv that.
@@geraldblu8030 You want to attempt to dominate the world. You have to do interviews, Miku understands and gets that. That's why they are where they are today. Her drive and determination. For such a young woman, she knows how the game is played and does it very well !
@@charlest.velten6983 I totally agree with you 👍
Saiki tends to do a lot more promotion work with Miku these days. Even MISA is taking a more active roll when in front of the camera. I think the world bass day event helped her realise just how popular she and her band mates are and more because of their music than anything else.
BEAUTIFUL LADIES , AWESOME BAND
Watching the interview realy didn't need translating, we are all impressed ! ! !
I was there! I want to see them in concert again :)
MISAちゃんすきだ〜！
Gotta date with my fast pigeon on September 30th in Echo Park and l cannot wait. Viva Band-Maid.
Miku is talking like a moogle from final fantasy. freakin cute!😆
It is! Her constant "po"s btw are in reference to the onomatopoeia for the sound a pigeon makes in Japan.
Kupo kkkkk
why am I still watching, I can't understand it
When there is no subtitles I try to watch for everyones reactions when "the small Pigeon" talks. Saiki is hard to break po! Others crack up smiles here and there😂. I hope now they appreciate Miku's enthusiasm (or sillynes😊) and courage. Dreamers dream Big, even if they're small🕊️
Very sweet!
Misa said sorry, i don't drink water unless it had wheat and hops added to it.
They are like bands in the past where band members rather let their performance do the talking then interviews lol
PoPoPo !! Kuropo!!
saiki is roCK!!!
I wish someone could direct me to the video of MCM Comic Con in England when Band-Maid was interviewed.... I used to watch it all the time then it got removed from UA-cam :-(
BAND MAID大好きです！٩(๑•̀ω•́๑)۶
From the frontal sitting looks, i can tell Misa is the tallest, then Saiki, then Kanami and Akane about the same, and Miku surprisingly is the least tall.
They all look like they are being held against their will by the crazy cute one in the middle.
Wow...if this tsundare thing Saiki has going on is just an act she's a REALLY good actress
If it is an act, we can attest that she held it up even when the cameras were off in the setup/ meeting process before and following the interview.
4 kind of normal girls feat weird Kuruppo-chan. 😅 Po!!!
ぽぽぽくるっぽ－
Watched the whole thing. Could not understand it. Want more.
Saiki looks like she’s on the verge of a panic attack.
Sometimes I‘m not entirely sure what the ladies really think of Miku‘s po act when I look at their faces...
@@panorama4526 They're thinking about it, every time they cash their checks !
1:56 Misa cracks up at Miku's "po" lmao 🤣
Watching this with the auto-translate captions is hilarious. First it says Akane is a dragon, then something about waist masturbation, then Miku says she wanted to start a band called Meat Bread, LMAO! Will they ever get auto-translate to work right??
We didn't even realize that this video had cc in Japanese until this comment lol
Translated article in the comments btw! Thanks for watching!
the deadly smiles
Really, only Miku needs to show up for these PR spots since she does 90% of the talking - let everyone else stay back at the hotel and rest.
Misa...ㅋㅋ kawaii
Misa/saiki gothic style...???
O_o
we want a band maid anime!!
English subtitles. Please
Weird, all you text is in English. Seems like you are targeting an English speaking audience. It is nice and respectful you are interviewing them in Japanese but some English context would have been nice.
We target both Japanese and English speaking fan-bases in all our interviews. There is a link to a translated transcription of the interview in the video's description (as in the case with all our interviews) In some cases we provide edited videos of the interview as an added bonus, but we do conduct all of them (with come rare exceptions) solely in Japanese.
a-to-jconnections.com/music/just-bring-it-an-interview-with-band-maid
That was fun to read, but it would absolutely rule if someone were to incorporate that English text into the actual video.
I agree. Unfortunately we conduct about 30-40 interviews a year on top of other content and the videos aren't always approved (and when they are it's usually really late in the process) so subbing a video that might never see the light of day, or trying to do so quickly afterwards is rarely an option with the resources we have.
The process has likely changed since I last uploaded anything, but I had the impression that it was possible to allow other users to contribute captions as well as the uploader. Either way, I understand, and thank you for this interview.
I reported Band maid to police..
Because they stole my heart😝😜😻😻
彩ちゃん盛っててｗｗ
English subtitles please!
I would love to understand what Miku is saying...
Learn Japanese
ぽーと周りの温度差
しんさん これぞBAND MAIDですね(`･ω･´)
それが、またいいww
しかしミクさんは真剣な時は凄いですよ…(*‘ω‘ *)
よく頑張ってると思いますね♪
English subtitles. Please😬
😀😁😂
ぽは不評っぽいけど、俺は好き
パソコンでぽぽぽーっw
what is "po pooo po " ?
+Pek -J her use of "po" at the end of most of her statements is meant to refer to the sound a pigeon makes and is done as a sort of cute quirk. Similar to adding "nyan" (The Japanese equivalent of "meow") at the end of everything.
haha ok thanks
she does that because her name, kobato, also mean pigeon
Son chilenas xD
English subtitles. Please 😬
Saiki looks like she is really not in the mood, more than usual, did someone spit in her face before this interview?
Miku sound like anime ..
ぽ疲れないぽ？
kagatobi いや、もうくせで言っちゃうんじゃないかな？
I want to hear other member talk not just miku
distraction at 5:14
I'm pretty sure that was a fly that caused the distraction. The interview rooms were quite hot and we had a lot of windows open and you can actually spot fly distractions a couple times in all the J-POP Summit interviews. Thanks for watching!
Who is standing in the front blocking the camera?
That is our chief translator and one of our key members, TIffany. The room we did this interview in was quite small so the forward shot had to be shot this way. We do have a side shot that is unobstructed but we didn't want to present the whole interview with a side shot.
キーボードの音ぽぽぽぽぽぽなんだなw
Suuuuubtitlesssssssssss . Not links. Damn
Po
Kanami is the only one who's willing to help what Miku is trying to do, selling the band with the kawaii image.
But it looks the rest of the members don't give a damn.
I guess the way Miku talks sounds a little too childish and contrived. I'm a native Japanese speaker.
If you knew anything about the band, you'd know the reason that Saiki, specifically, doesn't speak much due to social anxiety. She isn't "Japanese shy" or trying to uphold "the Japanese image/stereotype" it's an actual anxiety issue...like the rest of the band can get a word in anyway 😂
Putting band maid at a Jpop anything
is like butting Led zeppelin at a skating ring.It happens,but no one takes it sereiously.
Miku just please drop that dove act. It is no need as you 5 is very talented. No need for gimmicks
Tell Slipknot to stop wearing masks. Tell Kiss not to wear makeup. Tell Alice Cooper to dress normally. Your criticism is really unfounded.
@@sacluvsBM Forgot GWAR.
Saiki and Misa are dead, lol.
band-maidが影響を受けたバンドはBABYMETALじゃないかな。
当時、BABYMETALの曲を印象深くしているのは、可愛さとかっこよさのギャップだ！！、と見破ったのは凄いと思ったな。
bro put some subtitles not everyone knows japanese bro
+John Smith we seriously underestimated the popularity of this video. Sorry about that, we might add subs soon. There is a translated version of it in the description available now though. Thanks for watching!
絶対ぽっぽって辞めた方が良いと思うっぽ😂☝
良いじゃん別にそんなキャラ設定にしたんだから、楽しめば良いんだよ。
それなっ
ギャップが凄いので一度PVみたら良いかと思います(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)ゞ！
ポー もういいかなw
she says "po" at every end of sentence, and annoying
Because she thinks she is a pidgeon.
She likes pidgeon. In Chile some young and adult-young people used to end the sentences too with the word "po"= so , then , finally , of course.
ぽっ！ヤメんかい。それ以外は良いロックバンドだ
一人で喋りすぎ。バランスよくありません
小鳩はプロデューサーであり、スポークスマンでもある。
他の4人が話すの苦手だから仕方ないだろ。
小鳩も黙ったら完全お通夜だぜ！
I reported Band maid to police..
Because they stole my heart😝😜😻😻
