- In this video, I'm going to try to do something very, very difficult, something almost impossible for a Band-Maid fan.
I'm going to try to rank my 10 favorite Band-Maid songs!

This is my Top Ten:
1. Turn Me On/live at Zepp Tokyo

4. Akward/live at Studio Coast
5. Alone/live at London Comic Con 2016
6. The Non Fiction Days/live at Studio Coast
7. Freedom/Live at Zepp Tokyo
8. Real Existence/live at Zepp Tokyo
9. Order/official MV
10. Dice/official MV 🤔
Great list🤟
I think every fan would agree their personal list changes often. And I doubt anyone would disagree with anyone else’s list.
Here’s a challenge: name other bands you know with enough great material for a “top ten?”
For bands I like, I couldn’t even name ten of their songs quickly. Or at all.
You make an excellent point. That's probably why BAND-MAID is my favourite band of all time. ✌
Now we have a real challenge!😬
It might be an idea to limit it to contemporary bands. If classic rock bands are included, well, there's really no difficulty coming up with a Top 10 (or 20 or 30) for the Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, etc. etc.
@@c.7610 I think he was talking about J Bands
@@venusgaijinI don't think so. Yes, you could have a Top10 or Top20 of bands like the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zepplin, Iron Maiden, Sting, the Cure, etc., but those are mostly static Top10/20 lists and not as dynamic as those of Band-Maid fans.
Our Top10 usually consists of at least 100 songs ;)
Before I roll the tape and hear your list, This is mine. Very difficult.
1. Thrill - The song that saved the band
2. Domination - First song I heard
3. Memorable - A heartfelt thank you and love letter to the fans
4. Unleash!!!!! - A brief history of the band and proof they were actually anime first
5. Influencer - Because we are all under their influence. The influence of Omajinai, magic spell time. That Pigeon
6. Freedom - First Lyrics by Pigeon
7. Dice - Love the bass and guitar riffs. Gorilla at Large on the drums just knocks me out.
8. Play - Extended intro makes this song even better.
9. Sayonakidori - Have to have song of a Pigeon and acoustic is great too
10. Fate - Lots of bounce, great groove and very heavy
You made a good list, too. Can we really leave any songs off the list that Mincho wrote?
Basically, every song of this wonderful band deserves your attention... The choice is really difficult and depends on the preferences of each of us. I choose without obligation:
hibana
manners
chemical reaction
honkai
dragon cries
alone
blooming
ill
dice
thrill
Hi Venus, hopefully you'll read this comment and note that 10 months have passed since this video was posted.
Back then it crossed my mind that a similar Top 10 video could be done after the next album (now current album) dropped. My thought was a Top 10 video where only 1 track from each of BM's 10 albums could be chosen. These 10 albums would include the Unleash EP and Band Maiko EP; tbh these 2 EPs are more akin to mini albums than EPs imo.
@@brutusduran8592 Thanks for the idea🫡
I will try to use your idea in the next few weeks😁👊
1)thrill 2)dice 3)i cant live without you 4)shake that 5)rinne 6)feezer7)order8)chemmical reaction 9)moratorium 10) day dreaming
Ranking is easy. Take 10 Band-Maid songs and list as 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g, 1h, 1i, and 1j. They are all number 1.😊 🖖❤
Makes sense at song 27 I went to 1aa, at song 53 I think it will be 1ba.
Love that !----can only agree !!!!
@@dannelson6980 You are right
My top 10 Band-Maid songs of TODAY, PO❣😉
1. Bubble
2. Freezer
3. Blooming
4. Influencer
5. Corallium
6. you.
7. Fate
8. Page
9. Arcadia Girl
10. Beauty and The Beast
Arcadia Girl and Beauty and the Beast 👏👏
Such a nice list with Bubble, Freezer and You !!
The surprising thing about this band is that each fan could make a different list of their top 10 and none of them would be wrong. The average level of their music is simply amazing.
Well I can’t narrow it down much further than this : Alone, Freedom,Bubble,Endless Story,Secret My lips,Thrill,Unleash,Influencer, Afterlife, Daydreaming,Yolo,Matchless Gum,Reincarnation,Don’t you tell Me,From now on, Alive or dead. Yeah that’s more than ten, but these are what get the most play for me!
I can only tell you my current favourite song is "Akasimahen" the Maiko version of "Awkward". (With "Awkward" a close second). Has been for a long time now. It is just superb.
That's something rare😁
@@venusgaijin Indeed! But it is just beautiful, with a really great build up!
My Band Maid top 10:
1) Bubble/ 2) Take Me Higher (live)/ 3)Thrill/ 4) Manners/ 5) Turn Me On (live)
6)Play (old live version) 7) Dice/ 8) Blooming/ 9) Puzzle (old live version) 10) Moratorium (old live version)
Actually had another reactor do my top 10 - can find it by adding this to address after the = sign: 5C1qCawZaoc
Let me guess ...
Take me higher - Studio Coast
Turn me on - Zepp Tokyo
Play - Studio Coast
Puzzle - Studio Coast
Moratorium - Studio Coast
😁😁👊
I have narrowed it down to my top 3000, we have the studio version, live stream version, live version, instrumental version, acoustic version, and then which concert performance of the song is best.
Only 10 favorite Band Maid songs? I tried to make a list of 5 favorite Band Maid songs and it became 20 songs PO.
It's understandable😌😁👊
Very difficult to choose.... you at least need a top 30 to even do justice.
1. The Non-Fiction Days
2. Freedom
3. Thrill
4. Puzzle
5. Moratorium
6.Yolo
7. Play
8. Clang
9.Mirage
10. I'll
Subject to change immediately after posting:
1. Honkai
2. Awkward
3. Corallium
4. I still seek revenge *extremely underrated Akane and Misa parts
5. I can't live without you
6. Liberal
7. I'll
8. Freezer
9. Before Yesterday
10. H-G-K
And I assume your favorite album is Unseen World😅😁👊
@@venusgaijin I love that complex more progressive BandMaid sound what can I say...
Anemone
Matchless Gum
Awkward
Puzzle
Unfair Game
Honkai
I'll
I Still Seek Revenge
Honey
Morotorium
From Now On
Onset
+
The whole discography
Honkai🤩
If it was possible to hold all the Band-Maid song in your head, this would be easy, but we tend to be influenced by the songs we hear most from various places and particularly those with live videos. I'm not swayed by everything being heavy and fast, which can often be at the expense of a good melody line or guitar solo. Awkward and Wonderland would probably be in my top 10. Good job though- enjoyed it.
Good point 👏🤔
I don't have a favorite per se. I have around 8 to 10 songs that I can't choose between. Instead of ranking them, I'll put them in order of release.
Unfair Game
Puzzle
Screaming
Honey
Blooming
Different
Warning
No God
Giovanni
Black Hole
Hibana
From Now on
Unleash
Corallium
Infuencer
Ok so, that's more than 10. I can't even narrow it down to 10. It was hard even choosing 15. My list could be even longer.
Cheers!
I think Mincho would be happy to see the number of newer songs on your list. I can't disagree, they're all great!
Really great list! (Even better than mine😅)
Alone, Moratorium, HGK, Gion-Cho, Carry on living, I agree. But, Puzzle, Moratorium, Dice, Page, Secret my lips, Daydreaming, Blooming, Manners, Sayonakidori, how can you forget them? 😲 My list has over 30 songs composed solely by Band-Maid and I include the instrumentals which are essential. However, any list is a good list.😉
Sorry🫣😁😝👊
Page (both), Choose Me, Anemone, Daydreaming, Smile, Shambles, Turn Me On, Any live Mincho - Misa battle, Freedom, Rock In Me. Oh, so many to choose from. Po!
Flying High - Hibana- Moratorium- Manners- From Now On- Clang- Play- Non Fiction Days- Dice- Thrill
Impossible task. All BM songs are equally good. ❤
Easy, my favorite Band Maid song is always the last one I've listened to! I worship the water that they all walk on!😌😌❤❤❤❤ (I do find myself listening to "Manners/Black Hole", "Chemical Reaction" "Thrill" "Dice/Hate" and "Freedom" quite a bit....hell, the songs (and the ladies) are like my grand children, I love them each and every one equally!!
Dragon Cries, Sayonakidori, Moratorium, Memorable, About Us, Anemone, Wonderland, Unleash, Alone, Catharsis. But it would be easy for me to list 10 more I love just about as much.
It's so hard to choose only 10 songs, but if I have to say now It will be :
- Giovanni
- Black Hole
- Hibana
- Corallium
- Sayonakidori
- Flying High
- Anemone
- Clang
- Alone
- Cross
Great list👊
I jotted down the ten that came to mind quickly as my favorites. Then I was reading everyone else's here and kept thinking, "oh shit! I forgot ___". Anyway, my own initial thoughts, loosely: 1 Puzzle, 2 Blooming, Unleash!!!!!, Flying High, From Now On, I'll, Corallium, Alone, Choose Me, You..
Unlike others here, I allow myself to be influenced by multiple versions of a song, so Puzzle gets an extra boost from the several different live recordings.
A Maid Rock Top Ten list...with less than 30 songs? That's not a concept I can grasp TBH :-)) I'll say the bulk of my listening has been during thousands of miles of car journeys with their entire catalogue on a USB drive...and my most listened-to song is surely 'Dice'...then next is 'YOLO' (the listening of that split with it's instrumental version from the CD single). Beyond that I won't make lists...I happily listen around all their albums and CD singles without ever bothering to skip a track...but I'll restart addictive tracks like 'Dice' multiple times. At worst they are toe-tapping...at best pure genius. From 'Big Dad' to 'Black Hole'...it's all love.
Can't do it unless it's my top 100 songs! Bandmaid is just that good!🤘💯 Love unfair game!❤❤ I can't live without you?🥰🥰🤘👌
2 great songs 😁🤘😎👊
I love the vocal layering and complexity of Corallium. The guitar intro to H-G-K sounds like it would be incredibly hard to play.
👏👏
All great picks, for sure! An impossible task, to be sure!
😆🫡😁👊
Gion-Cho kicks butt. Moritorium, Corralium, Matchless Gum! They're all good.
Top ten is very hard but..... Daydreaming, Play, Puzzle, After Life, Onset, Moratorium, Secret My Lips, Yoake Mae (acoustic), Smile, Manners.
I love Corallium for the same reason, the vocals. I've stated before that the Rock pairing of Saiki and Miku are the best since the B52"s Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson, no one could possibly beat those two for range. For coordination and complimenting each other, Miku and Saiki work very hard together making every song they perform perfect, and Corallium is proof of that.
Couldn't agree more!
Hm maybe my list is wrong? Whatever, it changes weekly/daily ;p
01. Daydreaming
02. Sayonakidori (online acoustic okyuji)
03. Time
04. I'll
05. Arcadia Girl
06. Puzzle (live acoustic with only Saiki and Kanami)
07. Black hole
08. I still seek revenge

8) Don't you tell me
9) Secret my Lips

6 I still seek revenge
7 Unfair game
8 Manners
9 Choose me
10 Hibana
What about Start Over???😅 just kidding...but not really..I'm pretty sure start over wouldn't make anyone's top ten, cuz it's not "Band-Maid" enough😅 but yknow what? Since your vid about that song , I listen to it pretty often, and I'm not ashamed to say, I've grown to really like that song...😊 but anyway , I love to hear what u and other fans think about BM songs, even if , for now, I've given up on making my own list 🤔 - great vid, as always!!😊👍
Start Over? I don't know this song🤔😛
You have to try to make your list😆😁👊
😂 lolll, yes..I will work on my list 😰
"Start Over" is perfectly OK as a song. It's the video that's the deal-killer for me.
@@c.7610 agreed, it's the MV😅
For real...the actors were definitely not needed! 😂
FUN!
😁👊
I guess I could make a list... but it would have changed next week ;)
Anyways, to mention a few that have always remained at the top for me:
Daydreaming
Moratorium
Corallium
You
Bubble
Blooming
moratorium is a must from my trilogy of songs. Moratorium, Puzzle and Awkward.
Agreed👏
After many alterations,here goes,,,1
Honkai
Why why why
İ,ll
Decided by myself
Unfair Game
Yolo
You
İ cant live without you
Secret my lips
Shambles,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,very difficult to do,but am happy with my list,,or am i erm.
1. Smile, 2. Secret My Lips, 3. You, 4. Acoustic duo of Puzzle. After that it's useless for me to try to rank them. I do agree with you that Balance is a top tier song though. I really like both guitars in it.
I agree!😆😅
I legit tried to do a top 10, but there were just too many with this band for me.

このbandは世界最強のhardr rockerです。
My apologizes Venus. Corallium and not Moratorium in your list.😅
I won't choose, or rather can't choose. I tend to like the more abstract "proggish" pieces.
Thrill is my favorite.
Interesting 🤔
Вот я задумался над топ 10. И понял что не смогу его составить .Разные песни разные эмоции и поставить одну выше другую ниже просто не получается.
where is wonderland ? - needs to be on these lists
It's on mine.😃
i tried,, IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE!!!
Freedom is the Greatest song ever performed !!!!!!!!
The live version with Akane's drum solo is so good, it restored my faith in humanity😁🤘🇯🇵
1. The Dragon cries 2. Manners 3. Bubble 4. Order 5.Unleash 6.Sense 7. Gion cho 8. Afterlife 9. Shambles 10. Memorable .The top 10 are too few, Top 50?
Shambles👏👏
Another fan of "Dragon Cries"! I don't know why that song gets so much negativity. Definitely Top 10 for me.
