Your face while watching the video says it all 😊. They are a real live band with hundreds of concerts behind them (it's will be their 10th anniversary next year without any line-up change). They're a really tight band on stage (saw them in Germany in 2019, one of the best concerts of my life, 2 hours of this!). Since their first "full" album (they had three mini-albums before), they compose all their songs (5 full albums).

Thanks! I think that's already quite an achievement for a modern band. Definitely still going to check out their music on reaction vids but also some of them off the reactions too.
From JAPAN ■ Introducing BAND MAID and the latest news. Thank you for Reaction BAND MAID. (^^♪ BAND MAID is a 5-member girls rock band. They will celebrate their 10th anniversary next year. The members have not changed. They are hard rock band and are now considered by fans to be one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually perform 20 songs and 2 hours live. They were formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Kobato had experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara Tokyo and had the idea of playing cool music with a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" was their first music video in 2014, played 2 million times in two weeks and saved them from breaking up and they decided to become a hard rock band. At that time, they were just around 19-22 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. They have 130 original songs. And 46 songs have been released on their official UA-cam, all of which are killer songs. ■ They have just finished a live tour of 13 venues in the United States. ■ They are planning a 10th anniversary concert at Tokyo Garden Theater on January 9th next year. ■ Official videos are often not blocked. ■ ■ Hard rock Different Rinne DICE Thrill influencer Bubble Manners the non-fiction days YOLO ■ Great live DOMINATION PLAY Secret my lips FREEDOM REAL EXISTENC CROSS Choose me ■ Power ballads Wonderland Endless story Daydreaming about us ■ Instrumental from now on on set ■ Acoustic Sayonakidori Catharsis ■ All English lyrics song Dragon Cry Don't Let Me Down (not their lyrics) ■ Japanese style Secret maiko lips GION-CHO （April Fool's gift BAND MAIKO version.) ■ My most favorite songs right now are "Puzzle" band version and the acoustic version. (^^♪ BAND MEMBER They are unique, serious, shy and cute women. Miku Kobato : Side guitar, back vocal, lyricist, band founder, Public relations officer, Kobato is a small pigeon! Saiki : Lead vocal, the youngest, and member call her a teacher and she make various decisions. likes bullet trains. Kanami Tono : Lead guitar, composer (prolific genius), good at piano. hobby is reading. good at making sweets. Akane Hirose : Drummer, good at funny faces, She is a big eater. She loves anime. She has a lot of friends. Misa : Bassist, stage drinks are liquor, play with bare feet. She is the most shy and reticent. good at cooking.
There are more songs from this concert that are just a good ! " Play " Live and " Freedom " Live =) These ladies are no joke i'm retired now and they put on one of the best live shows i have seen ! You won't be sorry if you stick with the Maids ! Thanks Great Reaction ✌🤘
Thank you very much! Freedom seems to have plenty of suggestions too so... I guess it's going to happen sooner or later. It would be really exciting to go to see their live performance some day!
You enjoyed the energy of the performance, would it shock you to know that Domination was the 22nd of 23 songs performed in that concert? And that they had maintained that same level of energy throughout the entire 2+ hour long concert, with a few breaks for the Ladies, but the rhythm guitarist/second lead vocalist was on stage and performing for the audience almost the entire time. The Ladies concerts are non-stop for the most part, however during their recent US tour they did slow down a bit and interact more with the audience, all of the members instead of just the rhythm guitarist, Miku. In fact after you have seen a few more of their official videos I would recommend you watch some of the fancams, in particular Vladimir Chupin's fancams. His usually have the best sound and don't jump all over the place. He bought a new phone specifically for the Ladies US tour to get the best camera and microphone he could get. And Vladimir is what we Maidiacs call the "OG" of Band-Maid FanCams. If you don't want to spoil other reactions to other songs by the Ladies, Vladimir has playlists setup with each song individually posted so you can choose only those songs you have already reacted to. One thing I HIGHLY recommend though is to watch a few of the Omajinai Time videos from the concerts. Watch several, in particular watch the LA Show at the Belasko, which was MISA, the bass guitarist's birthday, and the Dallas House Of Blues, which was Miku's birthday. To see just what the fans did for our Ladies.

Damn! I didn't know that it was the second last song of the performance! They've been practicing a lot to be able to play so well over 2h setlist and be able to tour with it.
Great reaction man. If you really want to hear Akane do a 'real' drum solo, have a listen to 'Freedom' (live). Then you will see the talent of the dear girl. And if you want to hear MISA (also known as the Barefoot Assassin) shine on the bass, Have a look at the 2 for 1 live video of 'Manners/Black Hole). But let it be said... All the Maids shine in every song. All the time.
Рік тому+1
Thanks for the song suggestion! I think the live version of the song "Freedom" sounds really promising based on the description.
As a fellow metalhead I say you need to check out Manners+Black Hole live from their channel. It's a brilliant showcase of their current songwriting and versatility. It sounds fantastic. Obviously there's some post-production but it's no exaggeration to say it sound better than the album versions. The album production is quite muddy and you can pick up on more details in that live.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! That sounds really promising!
Nice reaction Teemu. This is what you get from BAND-MAID. Consistent, melodic and energetic Hard Rock music. A perfectly Awesome rock band. Check out the 2fer1 Live (without an audience) MANNERS/BLACK HOLE. You'll see the diversity in 7 minutes of work. Peace. 1.35

Thanks for the suggestion! I really like the fact that they're having consistent and melodic songs!
I knew the ladies were great live, but when I saw them in Phoenix, I was shocked how great they really are. I have also heard from a lot of people, who saw them in different cities, that the live mix at the concerts was really awesome, so props to their traveling crew too.
Рік тому
Oh yeah, exactly! That's what I've noticed too on the comment section of my videos.
Those who was on their US tour said that they are this good live for real. By the way, Sabaton is coming to Finland 19 and 20 of May and have Babymetal as Special Guests. I'm going to see mainly Babymetal in Stockholm but well , Going to stay the hole concert but Babymetal's return is big hype for me.
Рік тому+6
Oh yeah, I think some people wrote in the comments that they've seen this band playing live and they sounded amazing there too! Sabaton is great and I think that lineup is amazing! I'm probably still in Denmark around those dates but it would be really interesting to see Babymetal live too! Haven't done a reaction to their new songs yet so... that may be something I'm going to do next.
I have never been disappointed with their live performances. The skill of the recording engineer is also praised. Furthermore, the voices of the audience are also blended into the music, making it very emotional. Come on, why don't you join us?
I like the consideration of Japanese rock music from your musician's point of view. I recommend a [Light Bringer - Hyperion (Live)] for your next reaction! The vocals are FUKI (Unlucky Morpheus).
OMG someone's gone & left the link for "Rinne" MV on my comment that no one has reacted to in quite a while. Tch, Bloody cheek.😒 ua-cam.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/v-deo.html
IMHO this is their Signature LIVE video/song....next to "Thrill" which will always, to me, be their true Signature song/video since that is the one that kept them from obscurity forever.
This MV has become the intro to the band for most reactors. They are normally blown away. Couple of things; They have reposted their Acoustic MV "Cartharsis" from their Xmas live stream. A very different Band Maid. Miku has done a couple of videos under Cluppo. She calls it "Hippie Pop". It's FUN!! Last year Miku finished second in the National Poker Tournament of Japan, she was pissed because she didn't win. Something non Band Maid - Gacharic Spin - "Instrumental" 2018. The guitarist is Tomo Oz, one of Japan's Best. You still going to have to listen to "Domination" 4 more times "To Get It"!!!
Too late now. After you react to 2 B-M songs, under section 810 of the rules you now have to react to at least 1 of their songs a week & have a cool title like "Maidiac Monday".😏
The Kobato Statute of 2014 must be followed to the letter. Punishment for infringement of said statute will be metered out by the Barefoot Assassin, and her crony The Gorilla. Death by banana is no joke.
You really should keep going on the Band Maid train. You will want to check out their songs FREEDOM (live from the same concert), Warning! (music video), Manners (music video), No God (live), Daydreaming (music video), and just continue on from there. The Manners MV is my favorite song, frankly, and it harkens back to older hard rock like Led Zeppelin. Freedom is very much like Domination, just with better solos.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm just recorded a reaction vid to song Freedom yesterday. It'll be out tomorrow.
Listenig to Band-Maid always makes me happy . Freedom live has a great drum solo , as with the solo parts here , only played live and not on the Album.
Well done!. The most prominent characteristics of this band are their songwriting capabiliaties, the musicianship and that charismatic communion with their followers (we, the Maidiacs) who are cared for with attention and affection. This combination is unbeatable!
Рік тому+1
Thanks! Yeah, I think the musicianship, songwriting etc. combined with engaging the fans/followers is a really crucial for the artists and bands.
You'll fall deeply in love with this band soon. Don't fight it, just let it happen. You've already done a Nemophila reaction, but if you want to do more, I won't be mad. For a non-Japanese band, try The Warning from Mexico. "Evolve" is a good song to start with.

Thank you very much! I'm probably going to react some more songs by Nemophila soon!
As Doc Loco said: I love how your face lights up while watching the clip. It's a symptom ;) Anyway ... other bands (non japanese) you might enjoy checking out : Starcrawler (US, 90s poppy-nearly-Sonic-Youth'y sound) , Nova Twins (UK, Distorted bass heavy girl band not completely-unlike Prodigy. Did a collab with Bring Me The Horizon too) and Shaka Ponk (French, danceable something something heavy electronics thingy ... honestly, there's probably a word to describe their music, but I can't think of it)
Please react to the instrumental song live "Onset" ,"Real existence", "Manners", "Moratorium", "No God". In video clip "Dice", "Thrill", "Influencer", Greetings from Argentina.
