I love Miku, but I completely agree with you about Big Dad. I also agree with you about Forward - it's my favourite song on this album. Great reaction - thank you for the bonuses, too,
Band-Maid's older, somewhat overlooked songs are going to be rediscovered for years to come. This will bring a continuous flow of new fans into their fold. Some of these tunes are heavy, hard punk rock adding a new depth of artistry to the Maids many fans didn't know they had. Of course, for Maidiacs, they always knew about these bitchin tunes long ago and still listen to them all the time. Thx, EML!
Forward and Be OK are my favourite from this album. I actually didn't even know that Forward was on the 1st album. 😅 Big dad was actually performed at one of their concerts this year. Miku did the solo acoustic performance, which to me sounded miles better than the original version. Summer Drive is on my playlist too.
They still havent reached their peak yet 😀 they consistently improve through working hard. Also their music improves quite a bit once they start to write their own songs(label assigned writers for first few albums/eps) Also of note early on they were a dual vocals band with Saiki and Miku taking turns. the "bonus tracks" were actually on an Indies single with Thrill, and were on a 2nd print a few years later. Bitter Sweet Love is unreleased btw. This acoustic live was to try and grab more people to come to their live early on. They were averaging under 50 people per gig at the time
They performed FORWARD as 32nd song (out of 33 song set list) at their 10th anniversary tour finale show at Yokohama Arena on November 26th 2023. It was so tear bringing song🥺 BTW, there is mistake in description of this video which needs fixing: “Bye My Hate” => “Bye My Tears”
Thanks for reacting to this. I really enjoyed it!! Subsequent albums are more popular and will get more views.
Thank You for reacting to my favourite album.
Very good album reaction! Now I had to sub! 😃
Fantastic reaction. Really enjoyed every second of it. Can't wait for more. You are going to have so much fun as are we. Thanks (UK).

They will get better from here on...definitely yes😉👍
BAND-MAID a band maid in Heaven :)
Knockin' On Your Heart has always been a fave of mine. Totally nostalgic 90s pop punk track.
And mine.🙋♂️
@@GaryHolloway-810 You are a man of taste of distinction, Gary.

MAID ON JAPAN 😊🙏🥹
Miku did a solo acoustic version of "Big Dad" this past May at the Day of Maid show.
They performed FORWARD as 32nd song (out of 33 song set list) at their 10th anniversary tour finale show at Yokohama Arena on November 26th 2023. It was so tear bringing song🥺
BTW, there is mistake in description of this video which needs fixing: “Bye My Hate” => “Bye My Tears”
Thank you for noticing the mistake! I didn't even notice it
It's not really B-M, until they are allowed to write their own music, but here are a few good once before "Alone".
I have the feeling the purpose of the first album was to test different styles, see what works.
