    The Zepp Tokyo concert is awesome, I watch it a couple times a week and it never gets old .

    I saw them at least a dozen times in their first 5 years, including their 5th anniversary show at Shibuya Eggman. Eggman was very good to B-M, booking them again and again and again-B-M played there more often than any other club. Eggman's booking manager Mr. Kubota did more than B-M's own management agency to keep the band going in the early years.

      @@venusgaijin You're welcome VG. I have been thanked by B-M themselves, but always good to hear it from other fans. You're a big B-M fan too.🤘
      You might be interested to know that the show beginning at 1:40 was 2 Feb. 2014 at Club mismatch in the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo. One of the guys in the front is Takkun, a well-known Japanese B-M fan of those days. Always good for overseas B-M fans to remember than there was a Japanese fanbase well before B-M became popular outside of Japan.
      As for B-M's acoustic performances, they did several all-acoustic shows in the summer of 2014, and I saw two of those shows. They played songs from the "Maid in Japan" album and "Ai to Jonetsu no Matador" single, including "Thrill". Miku barely played the guitar (and didn't "po" all the time). Akane had a very simple kit: snare and hi-hat, and on a few songs played a cajon. It was very much like on the Engadget Fes vdo, which was from later that year, in November.

    Totally arbitrary but I would make the first era 2013-2016 (progressing from local to international shows, moving from indie to major label, playing provided songs to writing their own songs) that ended with Brand New Maid; the second era 2017-2020 (three full albums, more international traveling, excellent concert recordings and videos); and the third era 2021-present (the problems of pandemic, but gaining audiences through youtube and online streaming, Unseen World and Unleash, and resuming touring in 2022 and 2023). Excellent and yes, part II is needed!

    Agreed totally, that the red-and-white costume was the best !
    In all the discussion of why things all began to truly take off with the famous Thrill performance/and Mexico etc------they all seem to miss the fact that it was the fabulus red costume ,plus the abstract and visually engrossing all-white background! Graphically superb !
    Whoever did costumes and staging for that was responsible ,in large part, for their sudden success !
    Would love to see the same costumes AND setting for a future song or two !!

    Rarely mentioned is their pre-release concert for Just Bring It, in early 2017. JBI is my favorite, and what I consider 'classic" Band Maid. Never found out why just a handful of songs got released, and not the whole concert. There was an intensity to their performance. I have read that concert was their first solo, big audience sold out show. Also I imagine the first live performance for all the new songs from JBI.

    I think those post-Thrill tours were crucial, especially the overseas ones. In the US, the big "serving" that year was Saturday eve at 2016 Sakura-con in WA. Once upon a time there were a few close-to-pro shots from that show on YT, but sadly they have disappeared. All that's left are a few limited and shaky captures. I also look back fondly on Studio Coast and Zepp as reminders that, yes, Band-Maid recordings can be mixed and engineered well.

    The first era was the best era. Visconti's involvement was a poor decision. Their music never appealed to me after that.
    I'd also like to know who suggested recording Don't Let Me Down!
    Bring back tiny hat. I may re-join the fandom.

    My favorite from ‘New Beginning?’ Probably the underdog “Freezer.” No official video, never gets any setlist time, but what a riff! Plus Akane does her disco beat like she does in “Freedom.”
    (Part 2 you ask? Of course!)
