It took me ages to work out why I can keep on playing the tracks from this band over and over and never get bored. Each song has several different elements and ideas within it. An album's worth of ideas in one song. Every song needs three or four reactions just to cover the basics. Love the enthusiastic reactions. We all share the enthusiasm.
I agree, there's a lot of depth in their songs
That's what we all felt like. How could I just now be finding out about this incredible band? And for me, it's going on 5 years ago. And I felt like that then. They are a miracle.
They are phenomenal
you may be a new club member but you have a treasure trove of 140+ kickass tracks waiting before you
There are soooo many to choose from
Absolutely. Band Maid are a band when you first hear a new song, you think, OH My gosh, How good can this song get, then, you think , "my gosh, how can you end a perfect song like this without it bringing me down" and then they end it like wrapping an amazing gift and then add a beautiful ribbon with a beautiful bow".
Yeah, they are Queens of their craft for sure
10 years and 120+ songs of pure greatness. And not a bad song in those. Magical band. They are so Criminally underrated here Western World. Thank you for spreading the word 🙏🏻🔥🤘❤️💥 Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘
Yaaay, my Finland friend!!!!
This song is in my top 3 of band maid songs. It’s hard to top.
I stopped trying to keep up with the lyrics in band maid songs. They’re fun when I do look at them, but they’re just part of the songs for me now. Her vocals are just another powerful instrument to enjoy
Yeah, it's difficult for me to not pay attention to lyrics
"How did I not hear of this band before!" - every early stage Maidiac. 😊
At least I'm not alone in my thoughts 😆 🤣 😂
You can't blame anyone you can only thank the spirits in the sky upon discovery. It's a happenstance. btw, BAND-MAID rules! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Peace. 1.99
Fair enough lol 😊😊😊
Whether or not people of the world are willing to recognize it, in my opinion, Band Maid is one of the greatest bands of all time! There is simply no limit as to what they can do musically.
Your reaction reminds me of Ryan Mear reacting to the song Unfair Game and how pissed off he was that no one had suggested the song to him. But the fact of the matter is you can be 100 songs into the Band Maid catalog and the will still be blowing your mind. With that being said I suggest Unfair Game (a hidden gem "B side") there is a good fan cam video available on you tube. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊
I'm gonna add that to my list. Thank you
My #1 Band-Maid song. It began with Kanami (Lead Guitar/chief composer) assigning the rest of the band "homework", taking all their ideas, and combining them into one song. This masterpiece was the result.
This is a masterpiece for sure!!!!
One of their (many) masterpieces!
I would suggest checking out their 'Bubble' MV. A great example of 'they can play what ever the hell they want and it will be awesome'! 😎🤘
I'm adding that to my list, thank you
Band-Maid. Blooming Brilliant! Amiekinz!
They are amazing
True, I don't need to know the lyrics. But MANNERS speaks to me! ❤
Right, who cares about the lyrics, just enjoy to watch and listen this amazing band!
I'm a lyrics person, I can't help but listen to them
All their MV's are excellent. "I love all of this!" pretty much covers how I feel too about THE best band on Earth.
I'm going down the pigeon hole :)
@@Amiekinz4ever Head first too! Or The Only Way, as I call it!
This is great MV!
The song and band were featured in the Netflix action movie, Kate.
Choose Me was also used, which I recommend to add to your ever growing Band Maid list!🤘
Done, it's on my list!
Try "From Now On" it will blow your mind.
I'll add it to my list
Welcome to the club! I discovered them about four years ago thru channels like this. I love watching newbies react and become Maidiacs. I'm a 60 something and was able to see them live last Spring in Atlanta. Probably the best live show I've seen in all my many years. Of course it helped being 3rd row from stage between Misa & Miku. You need to make seeing them live a bucket list item. So very talented and they have a ton of fun on stage. Buckle up, you only have around 120 reactions left to do. Enjoy!!!
They are definitively in my bucket list
Thanks for another reaction video, love watching your journey of discovery and appreciate your knowledge as a musician yourself, great time to be a BM fan, BM'24
They give me so much joy!
Blooming was my first premier video by Band Maid.
That's a great introduction to a great band
Thanks so much for the reaction to one of my top 10 favorite songs.😊
I too have had several UA-cam recommendations for Band-Maid, but ignored them for about a year, thinking they were just an idol band with decorative instruments, but then one day I saw the video for "Alone" and was blown away. I regretted it so much that I didn't see it sooner.😅 Also, they did an acoustic live online on December 25, 2021, and will do another one on the 20 of this month, They are also great at acoustic playing.🤘
I'm a Japanese Maidiac, please forgive my poor English!🙇♂️
Thank you SOOOOO much for commenting and sharing your insight.
Much love ❤️
"How was I asleep on this band?" is a question I ask myself all the time too for Band-Maid. A travesty I've only known them for a year.
I'm not sleeping on them any more!
Great reaction! What I love about this band is the wide variety of rock that they play. Besides playing different genres of rock they also do acoustic concerts and have an alter ego called BAND-MAIKO that puts a different spin on their music.
Band maiko?maid? Really? I've got to check that out too
It was my lucky day when I discovered them 9 years ago.
Same. I was looking for Babymetal videos and saw a thumbnail of a band with green lasers in the background. It was BandMaid's Onset (live). Mind blown that late night.
😊😊😊
“Blooming” is one of the Band Maid songs best served (so far) by the music video. Top tier Maid right here. The more you hear it, the more you’ll love it.
Notice how they never duplicate music in the verses. They write songs as if they will be instrumentals and just add lyrics to the recipe
The cousin of this song, from the same album with similar instrumental sound is “Bubble.” Please keep that one in your back pocket
It's in my back pocket!!!
I try to let everyone know about Band-Maid, but some people just don't get that they're the best band. I guess we all hear things a bit differently.
They will soon discover it, I'm confident of that
Blooming is their best song until I listen to the next song! haha
Buhahaha!!! You're right!!!
Always a brilliant reaction. A little gem in this one is the videography. Notice that there are no full facial shots of any of the Maids for the first part of the song. They are all cropped, or out of focus, or in darkness, or covered by hair. Only after Kanami's first solo do we see them in all their beauty. So cool.
So here's a bit of emotional blackmail for you Amie. When you react to my favorite double live video of theirs, 'Manners/Black Hole', I will sub to your channel. Ha!Ha!
But seriously it is an important video for you to watch in the Bandmaid journey. Cheers.
You crack me up! I'll add that sooner rather than later 😆 🤣 😂
@@Amiekinz4ever You won't regret it.
I believe Kanami, songwriter and lead guitar, asked the others to write this song with her collaboratively. Not just their own parts, but the arrangement and vocal melody. Damn, it turned out good....
This is a great song
"Blooming" is one of their top vocal works. "From Now On" is my top instrumental -- and my top BM song (Kanami's guitar sings). Of course, you haven't met "Manners"/"Black Hole" yet.
I can't wait to get further into their catalog
And they sound even better live!! I’m hoping for a few USA shows at the end of this year 🙏🙏
That would be amazing!
I have found that to properly enjoy a Band-Maid song, the first 2 or 3 times you listen to it, IGNORE the lyrics/sub-titles. Just let the music roll over you. The tonality, the beat, the rhythm, just let it flow over you and experience it. THEN, go back and try to parse the lyrics. I've found I can actually get a better understanding of them, as I have digested the patterns of the song beforehand.
And this song was Kanami's "Homework" for the other Ladies. She told them to write a part for a song, and she would incorporate them all together in one song. And Blooming is the result.
If you can find the Line Cube Shibuya version from February 2020, I think it's the best live version out currently.
Thank you 😊
Great reaction and well done Amiekinz! I felt the same anger and frustration with myself that I only discovered BAND-MAID in June 2020 🤔
Your 4 years ahead of me 😆 🤣 😂
BAND MAID reminds a lot of people about a lot of bands. Depending on the song you are reminded of different band. Each member of BAND MAID has a variety of bands that they heard or followed as they grew up. Example: MISA has 2 (not 1) Jimi Hendrix stickers on her Fender Bass (see THRILL) because her mother listened to him all the time, and KANAMI plays a PRS because Carlos Santana is her favourite and she likes the beauty of the Custom 24 (of course she uses all 24 frets too) and AKANE listened to Deep Purple and Maximum the Hormone,
Interviewer: How long have each of you been playing music?
Miku: Since I was small, I loved singing and I was a child who would sing anywhere. I was going to a vocal school about 3 years ago. I started to play the guitar after starting BAND-MAID, so it’s been about 2 years.
Saiki: I started singing when I was 14, but just as a soloist. This is my first time in a band.
Kanami: I’ve played classic piano for 15 years, and I’ve been playing the guitar for 8 years, also as a singer and songwriter.
Misa: I’ve been playing in bands for about 7 years, but I’ve been playing musical instruments ever since I was 3 or 4 years old. I started on piano.
Akane: 4 years for piano, 5 years on the trombone, 6 years for the drums.
You have so much insight on this band, thank you
My favourite thing about Band-Maid is that everyone I've seen listen to them always smiles. It's almost as if one can't help it... :)
I can't help it, it's music to my soul
🚀 🏔️ 🦅 👼🏻 ❤
Nice!
"Fumougokai" is a Buddhist term that means "You shall not lie". Miku (rhythm guitar/lyricist/band founder/spokes-pigeon) loves to use this kind of difficult 4-kanji idioms. Don't worry, even 99% of Japanese people won't understand it...probably😏
I'm a 68-year old Japanese, and I didn't know this word until I read the lyrics of this song😅
Well, that makes feel better, thank you for sharing this. 😊😊😊
Great reaction!!!
Thank you!! 😁
Great reaction yet again- plenty of interesting technical points of view and details. If any rock band does a more complete example how to compose and play a hard rock song- show me, go on. I'm 71 and I've been listening for 60 years.
Right?!?!!!
This was one of the very first songs I saw from them and I'm still impressed. I could mention four dozen cool things about this song from the opening and closing riffs to the rising bass line during the solo, to the ethereal "far away, take me somewhere far away" section. This is great songwriting and excellent execution.
By the way, Band-Maid played the Crystal Ballroom in Portland last August 11th.
Are you SERIOUS??? the crystal ball room? That's not very far from me, next time they are here they will be playing the Moda Center
How many bands out today do you love every member by name, where every member of the band could have a successful solo career?
I believe they are the Beatles of this generation; they even have their own cartoon.
What's the cartoon called
人それれぞれ好みがあるので他人におすすめはしません。
でも彼女達は世界に通用する才能と実力があります。
私はそう確信してます。
でも押しつけがましくならない程度におすすめしてみてください。
私は今のところ０勝16敗ですけど😅
@@K.H.D710 負けこんでるな〜😖
こんなに音にこだわってるアーティストは稀だと思うのだけれど。
@@user-ni8tw9ip7g 私の周りには何故かロック好きがいないみたいです😔
あっ！今思い出しましたけど、熊本のレストランバーのオーナーに「Band-Maidは熊本出身のミクちゃんが創った世界に誇れるロックバンドなので、是非一度聴いてみてください」とおすすめしたところ。「聴いてみます」と言っていたので、もしかすると１勝しているかもです。ちなみに、そのレストランバーは、ミクちゃんが勤めていたメイドカフェがあったビルにありました。
Yes, they are a global band for sure!!!
It’s Nerd Heaven- Band Maid AND lightsabers!😄💪🏻🤘🏻
Ha ha right?!?!
4:39 _How do I go my whole life and know about this band_ You look good at 10 years old 🙃
They are a great great great band
#HANGoverGANG
Lol you obviously were meant to learn about and show them off on UA-cam! It's now up to you to pass them along to all your friends and fans!
I'm here now, better late than never!
She's referring to the evil male god of Shintoism. Miku always includes interesting descriptions in the lyrics she writes.
While it can be pointed out that it begins with a four-character idiom about the Buddhist precept of not telling lies, in my opinion it is too much of a leap to read something like evil god into the lyrics. It is Kobato's style to write abstractly and leave the interpretation to the reader, though.
Brilliant!!!!
Good point
Try this live version of Blooming, from San Francisco, 14th October 2022 - ua-cam.com/video/c0RKqEQmwCk/v-deo.html
Turn the lyrics off the first three times you listen. There’s always so much going on that the music demands your full attention. You’ll hear something new each time.
Thank you
Probably my favourite B-M track.
Such a good go too...
You said you're a metal head.
Recommend checking out Lovebites. Some of these girls went to B-Ms 10 year anniversary at Yokohama. Both drummers are good friends, and hang out.
Kind of get the feeling, that the Jrock/metal community hang out with each other.. which has resulted in some really good projects and bands, which could be considered "supergroups".
Lovebites is one of these. Formed when one was dismantled, and the bassist and drummer decided to start a new band. Highly recommend "the hammer of wrath" live 2023 on their official UA-cam channel.
I'll add that to my list, thank you soooo much!
I think to get this good you have to be dedicated to your art
And love your art as well
Don't feel bad, I was @ 10 years late. 🤘
Lol, thanks for the encouragement
Please、（Cheese、me）
What is wrong with this so- called madiacs???
no one is suggesting my favorite song ' moratorium"
😂😂😂
Ha ha, I'll add that to my list, just for you.
THERE'S DOZENS OF ARTISTS YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD ABOUT YET ! YOUR ALREADY PUSHING 30yrs OF AGE , WE WORRY ABOUT YOUR STAMINA GIVING OUT , WE WANT YOU AROUND FOR A WHILE LONGER ! LOL
Buhahaha!!!!! Great response!!!
Hi - I see from your playlist that you have found Nemophila and Lovebites. Fun! You have so much to listen to! They are so good!
I can give you two more hints
* Hanabie: Four young girls that do progressive metal and metal core. And they are really fun! A good start is the MV for "We love sweets"
* Ningen Isu: Three old geezers that play hard rock and have done so since the 1980-ies! A good start is the MV for "Heartless Scat"
Thank you
