This is another of those "gotta be careful if listening to it while driving" songs for me. It's so easy to get into, it really starts rolling, "oh. No one can stop me!", crap! Red light!
Band Maid B sides would make most bands envious. Thanks again Ryan - those bags under your eyes shows either dedication to your channel or an inability to think rationally. Either way - I am always happy to see your review of Band Maid songs.
Ryan, here's a few more B-M songs I'd love to see you cover (hopefully the live or MV versions, but some only have the album version): Fate, I Can't Live Without You, Start Over, Key, Don't Let Me Down, Shake That, One And Only, Clang, Carry On Living, Dead Or Alive, Honey, and Glory to name a few. ;-)
One of my favorites solos by Kanami, it's just perfect: not too long, not too short, just perfect Fun fact about the lyrics: Miku came up with while she's playing a videogame lol
Another awesome BAND-MAID B-side! They do this really cool thing at the end of the first verse where Kanami's riff alternates between trailing off in the right and left channels. All the small things like that add up to elevating a "basic" catchy tune to a whole other level. I love it!
I get earworms constantly, have for many years. Many of them are songs I don't want in my head. Band-Maid is wonderful for this. Every song by them becomes an earworm, and one that is great to have going in the background of my thoughts all day. Then when I hear another by them I get a new earworm. Love it!
Thanks Ryan. I kind of overlooked this song for a while since it's not on any album. The vocal melody is straight up addicting, not to mention all of the other great stuff in the song.
My fave part is where Saiki starts singing the 2nd chorus before it begins and just keeps going, parachuting into the chorus. Very cool. Not exactly the same thing, but it kind of reminds me of the last vocal harmonies in Boston's "More than a Feeling" or Weezer's "Holiday" where the harmony vocals start holding their note before the lead vocal, so that when the lead finishes the chorus and holds, it just lands into the harmony automatically.
How in the hell do these women keep doing this to me. Hadn't heard this one before, now I can't get it out of my head. They are sorceresses. So glad I found them.
Lol, you look very tired. Great job Ryan!. The girls deserve a really dedicated reactor as you. This band... this is a buried B side song so... it's amazing. Thx!!
Don't worry about being tired Ryan. when you drop your vids it's almost bedtime here and I always listen to BM before bed. Love from Australia and keep safe.
It's a fantastic song that should be on an album. Actually each of their "B-side" should be on an album. So, I would propose them to release a "B-album" with all their B-side songs, I'm sure people would LOVE that! (... even if I have all their EPs).
Marillion did just that in the late 80s, they called the album "B-sides themselves" which is a double meaning. The album turned out to be a very good album. Now Band-Maid's B-sides are way better and just as good as their A-side songs :-)
I saw a short video here on youtube that I can't find. In this video there is the Band-Maid all around a table with some papers in hand, I think they were sheet music. Kanami directs everything and points and explains the score of a song, I don't know which one, but at some point, Akane starts making weird faces and then opens her mouth and says "how can I play this? This is not human!" and Kanami very calmly replies, "but you are only half-human ... bring out the gorilla in you" and they all burst out laughing. So it seems that Kanami also thinks about drumlines, if so this is crazy right?
She would program drum parts and present complete songs to the band, yes! Akane has said something to the effect of "Kanami wrote drum parts for someone with 3 arms!" She is something VERY special.
Some will say they like Band-Maid fine but certain tunes do not resonate the way others do. I say even if a song is not exactly in your wheelhouse it is still a well maid (pun intended) song and executed extremely well. Every single one of them. Hoop says the world loves Band-Maid. Who am l to argue? 😉
Ryan! Almost watching and listening your reaction live! I can surmise you will be happy to have spared more time for this song and sleep the better for it! Kanami is exploding into our faces as usual, but this is a very complete and sophisticated song that one will be tempted to listen in a car, at work, reading a fantasy novel, or justwhile having your favorite drink! Actually, you had better react to all the songs (they have composed themselves) as fast as possible, because in the future many a "specialist" will write books and hagiographies, make movies and whatnot about their whole history, but they will never be able to beat your reactions because they are live and will stay online for never-ending reference! Alright, I will have to listen to all that again before I hit the sack (it is still 19:00 here)! I still have that bottle of sake to finish as well (that is, if the Dragon allows me! LOL)! Best regards, Robert-Gilles
Awesome song! Can't believe it's a Bside with out a MV! Check out Fernando's Hideaway. UA-cam channel. He was at the 2019 NYC Mercury Lounge show. Took a bunch of pictures. Made a slide show with this Song as the music. Band Maid should make it an official MV. So well done! Thanks Ryan! Great Reaction! 😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fernando did great. I'm so glad he, Ryan, P in D & others are making sure these songs get noticed. If there's no vid a lot of people skip studio only tracks. sigh.😒 Here's the "Hide & Seek" slide show link. ua-cam.com/video/i7EHBNUT0M8/v-deo.html
Shows a confused Lebowski (is there any other kind?) then manages to sound just like him at 3:49 - Nice :D Also, to use the parlance of our times, Band-Maid Forever, Po!
Hope you got some sleep after that Ryan, I've had to wean myself off late night BM because they're that bloody addictive and it's 3 in the morning before I know it😂 anyhow well done and always appreciated from another Aussie follower, but now I'm fired up by that freaking great song (As if there's a bad one by BM 🤪) and where I am it's still early enough to have some beers and listen to more Band Maid - pure bliss 😄🎤🎸🥁🎼🍻 PS I threw my radio out 👍🙌
A couple times I've been listening too long into the wee hours, dozed off and fallen off of my desk chair. 😄 Exercise caution while listening to Band-Maid. A seat belt may be in order.
@@stevehall5128 😂🤣 love it, thanks for the tip, I think though Steve for some of my longer beer and BM sessions a full racing safety harness would be required 😄 have a great rest of the week and to quote the mighty pigeon 🐦 from her Cluppo project may it be filled with "peace and love " Po 👍
This song is so good it reanimated the dead. Wake up! Kidding aside, a far better reaction than most. There are too many reactors who spend most of their vid screeching "like and subscribe!" and then stare vacantly at the screen for 3 minutes while the video plays. Or they overreact because they don't like/understand what they are listening to. In summation -- good stuff, go to bed.
Band Maid is the only band I've ever listened to that doesn't seem to have a song that I don't like, even the Beatles early stuff I'm not so into, Led Zeppelin did some songs I don't think we're that good, but Band Maid from the earliest to b sides to infinity, it's all good and makes me feel something that I have never felt with any other group of artists in 61 years, they actually created the music distopian I wanted to create myself, but a lack of ability from myself and my co creators hinders that, so it's Band Maid all the way.
Funny I was thinking the same way but for me it's the mid Beatles I'm not into (I think I am the only person on the Planet that HATES Sergeant Pepper).
Ryan! Greetings! The official acoustic version of Catharsis is online at: ua-cam.com/video/tx9h41gaNo0/v-deo.html Time to react! LOL Beautiful video! They look so adult. The dress and hair designers did a great job, especially in the case of Akane and Kanami! Another door open! Best regards, Robert-Gilles
No offense intended... Please, when you add graphics to the screen, leave them up for more than the "blink of an eye" so we can read them. Some of us "tired ass reactor video watchers" need a little more time to read them, thanks.
"No one can stop me!" - The best part of the song.
I think always the same...
Ryan with his brain fried is still better than 99% of the reactors out there.
@ 3:05 - I love how the band just drops and Saiki starts her vocal rhythm and the band come back in right on point. So cool!
And how you think it's the chorus but it's a friggin extended, no breath, extra line that's just in the same cadence....
Awesome

Congrats on the shout out Drive Time.👍 The other Maidiacs must be playing Hide & Seek with their congrats....probably😏
Atrophysicists should analyze Band-Maid songs, because the amount of stuff they cram into a 3 minute song breaks the space-time continuum.
Space distortion.
@@realdocloco Clever.👏👏
...and because, well, they are STARS.
Ryan,Your reactions are so cool everytime.
I'm BAND-MAID fan and then Ryan fan.
Thank you so much!

Wake up sunshine. I was awake past 2 and up at 6. Have this two, but as usual I won't miss one of your Band Maid reactions. Always fun.
There are many hidden songs that showcase Kanami's genius. I want many reactors to be more aware.
Lol, you look very tired. Great job Ryan!. The girls deserve a really dedicated reactor as you. This band... this is a buried B side song so... it's amazing. Thx!!
I lol'd when you stopped it like 20 seconds in and said "yeah I f-n love this". Good stuff as usual man.
Don't worry about being tired Ryan. when you drop your vids it's almost bedtime here and I always listen to BM before bed. Love from Australia and keep safe.
An instrumental version of hide and seek is on Prime now. Fire! MISA "hand-angle-version"
Band Maid keeps moving the goal post during a song.
It's a fantastic song that should be on an album. Actually each of their "B-side" should be on an album. So, I would propose them to release a "B-album" with all their B-side songs, I'm sure people would LOVE that! (... even if I have all their EPs).
Yes... that would be coveted!
B-sides and some lost live tracks...they should title it "Dust Bunnies".

@@RyanMear and they could call it "Choose Me", their actual "Holywood" song!

You might have been tired, but what you said around the 3:50 mark was a great summarization of what makes Band Maid awesome! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Was that the bit where he said how awesome i am & promised at some point to still finish my original "My view" song for me?😏
