Band Maid was suppose to play in the Inkarceration concert in Ohio last June. Funny how the band gathers around the drummer, they make funny faces at her in hopes that she would mess up! Never works.. saw them last year and they blew me away! You’d love them! Cool reaction gorgeous! Stay safe
@@saikisfang9339 very cool, my brother and I were thinking back in Feb last year about getting tickets for that day and just fly out there from LA. It would have been fun to just watch the audience faces as Band-Maid blew their minds. So sad it didn't happen
@@GaryHolloway-810 I'll say it, Gary. Right here, right now. No Problem 'cause, you know, I mean it. I said it just the other day, in fact... when I was taking out the trash... not that taking out the garbage triggered any related thought about, well, you know. I have always felt that you... wait! Excusing me, my phone is ringing. I'll be right back. ☝📞
First track I ever heard from these ladies years ago. Still my favourite. Since then I saw them live, bought all their albums and spent a fortune on merch from Japan. Just hope my wife doesn't find out how much money I spent supporting this band!!!!😁
i love seeing the joy this band brings to people. i always wach for the smiles to start and they always do...i came arcoss them about 5 years ago..was going to japan and they were playing at a festival thought id check them out..at the time they had about 5 music videos on youtube..no live content anywere..i thought maybe not so good live but still worth seeing...boy was i wrong they only done a 30 min set and it absolutely blew me away..managed to meet miku, saiki and akane after the show and get my cd autographed and the lovely miku even took it to there room for kanami and misa to sign. such amazing musicians and human beings...i recommend checking out Wonderland live although no song will disappoint..except the live version of Rinne because it was a tv spot its only half the song not because i was a bad perfomance
ARIGATO Lady Great reaction👏👏👏I also like vampire teeth naturally. I know Not much accepted in the world.but in Japan usually Vampire teeth are a charm point.🤗🤗🤗 I wish keep Band Maid Reaction🙏🙏🙏
Secret My Lips - on their YT channel - you'll love it. :) Then Band-Maiko Secret Maiko Lips (the Band-Maiko version of the song) - you'll love that one too!
This was a great version of this song. My favorite part of your reaction was when Miku did her little half whispered part leading into last chorus. Miku is truly the embodiment of Kawaii! Where Kanami (lead guitar) is the instrumental genius of the band, Miku is, not only the lyrical genius, but is the heart of the band. I mean, the band was her vision to begin with. But words truly can't do justice as to how adorable she is. You're spot on about how most people would react to them initially. A lot of people, especially in the states, would likely scoff at them and think they were purely a cheesy gimmick, until they start playing. The super cute look is so disarming that when that opening riff kicks you tin the teeth, it does so way harder as a result which is where you end up begging for more.
I've been saying the same thing since I caught just a few of their songs. Are they even capable of an average or even a sub-par song? I haven't found one yet. I love these ladies! It is like nothing I've ever experienced, so much talent, and they're having so much fun displaying it. I could go on and on, but I won't. Ok, I'll go on a bit more. I love them just for the fact that they have renewed real rock. Not the horrible dreck that we see in the US these days. BS record companies pushing putrid puke. I like that, Putrid Puke, the name of my new thrash metal band.
Hello.....Im 63 and I jumped on a plane to LA and went and saw our girls on 8/23. The whole experience mad feel like I was 18 again !!!! Absolutely the BEST concert I have ever seen and I have seen some of the best!!!!!! Baid Maid is a must bucket list band. My next stop will be seeing them in Japan......I think that it would be a thrill !!!!
Such a joy to see you react like this we have all been there welcome to the family they truly are the greatest rock band to date try rinne ,blooming ,after life be well
Well its rinne so took care of that I can't but someone out there might get you the video of puzzle acoustic live then you will see what the greatest. rock band is capable of they are absolutely the best
When you handle "Band-Maid", their fans from all over the world gather like moths swarming on street lights. They make jokes and give lectures about Band-Maid. I have a big net and collect those guys (LOL).
You just described my first Band Maid show in Los Angeles horse voice sore body and had to wear a walking boot because I nearly tore my Achilles tendon and limped for the next 6 months from rocking out too hard. .......I would do it all over again and then two more times
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 A good live version of this song. The Tsunami Kanami is on 🔥🔥🔥 you got to see MISA crack a smile next to Saiki which is a very site on stage. B-M was supposed to be at Incarceration Festival in Ohio back in July 2020 and play on Sunday The same day as Blink-182. It would have been B-M 1st outdoor festival in the US. ☹ fate had stepped in the way
They were going to play Inkcarceration Festival in OH in 2020 until ‘rona cancelled it. ☹️☹️ Best thing about this band, beyond their phenomenal playing abilities, is their camaraderie and joy of playing together on stage. As hard as it’s been without live music this year, I think it’s been even harder for them. Saiki, especially, really seems to feed off the energy of the crowd. Akane is the world’s happiest drummer. She’s always smiling or making funny faces, but she never misses a beat!
MISA MISA MISA! Sai-chan doing her Miku impression (giving the Bird) 1:38 and the Fated meeting between the Barefoot Contessa and the Barefoot Assassin 4:21
I remember watching this Song for the First Time. The Official video. I was like Oh its a Typical Japanese Girl Band Punk Song Nothing Special. And then Kanami Hit me with these Guitar Solo s i was like wait a minute they are actually talented musicians. After that i saw Thrill and Alone and Before Yesterday and then i was a Fan after just 4 Songs.
There is no doubt about it, Band-Maid and Nightwish, the two best live groups to ever grace the stage. These girls bring it so hard that they have all other hard-rock bands from the last 40 years quaking in their boots. Awesome reaction Jen! Onset next?
BAND-MAID just has so many catchy songs. They are perfectionists and they will never settle for average on any song. Their new album will drop in a few weeks and it’s gonna be mind blowing. If you want to watch a battle between the bassist Misa and the guitarist Kanomi then you need to check out Dont You Tell Me (live version). Fate is another song that’s a must ..
I've never heard of them before are they Japanese I'm guessing? I can't understand what the singer is singing about but they sound pretty cool damn this has really got my pumped to start my own band which I have been saying for decades now very cool guitar solo man my mind was blown away ok I gotta practice my guitar more for hours I don't care what the recommended practice time is per day
The best hard Rock band in the world right now and have been together since 2013. I've seen them in concert twice here in LA and they are Badass. Most of us Band-Maidiacs don't worry about the language but B-M has add more English to their songs in the last few years.
Band-Maid is just an amazing band. You might want to check out "RINNE" MV for another heavy banger of a song. Thanks for your great reactions Jen. Always enjoyable.
If these ladies come to Ohio, I'll be there too! MISA's bass tone is so great that I switched my amps away from Fender to Orange and have noticed a huge improvement.
Great truth, a book is not judged only by the cover, and Japanese bands are no longer the cover of rock, but are the valuable content, great video reaction, If I may I would recommend another great all female band the Lovebites with "Swan Song"
To your comments on not expecting this out of a group dressed in MAID outfits. - BAND MAID calls it THE GAP! there's a gap between how someone appears and what they do, it draws attention. Some people find it attractive. Miku has said that was what she was going for. I've seen all your reactions but it's fun to watch you over and over. You are truly a MAIDIAC!!!
Hell yeah. Come to Ohio. To bad that you can no longer experience the ultimate guitar and bass duel "Don't You Tell Me". Misa and Kanami take serious shots back and forth. Unfortunately it's been pulled from UA-cam. If nothing else check out some of the reactions to it there are some fun reactions for this amazing performance.
Some other all-female rock bands: Lovebites (metal with two lead guitars); Aldious (metal); Doll$boxx; Paranoid Void (math rock); Otoboke Beaver (hardcore punk)
I've seen them a few times, always in small venues, and believe me, you don't need any Lazers, they are amazing just naturally. I don't like being around people at all, but I toughed it out in line and waiting for the band to start, and I just had the best of times, in spite of the interaction of humans
Onset. Its a live instrumental. You want the ladies on instruments to shine. This will leave you with your jaw on the floor. Kanami is incredible here..Puzzle is so good, great guitar riffs, again Kanami is incredible. Rinne, a much harder song.
I think 'Real Existence' is a good title to highlight the one who usually gets a little short in the comments about this band. Miku Kobato (2nd vocalist and lead-guitar). We can't be thankful enough to this little pigeon for coming up with the idea for this band and working so hard for it. Without her there would be 'no existence' of Band-Maid. 🤘🕊🤘
hehe. Well, you have reacted to three now and time to know who is who. There may be a test next time! :P Welcome to your journey down the pigeon hole. I prepared this little guide to help you handle the adventure you are about to embark on. Once upon a time in Japan.... Miku (Who is a 300+ year old pigeon... long story) was in a short lived "idol" band in Japan and ended up working in a "Maid Cafe". She came up with idea to create a rocking band in maid costumes. A "Gap" as its called in appearance to action. Miku found singer/songwriter Kaname (Lead Guitar and main Composer), who knew Akane - AKA "The Gorilla - she likes bananas a lot! (drums - Jazz and Classically Trained), who knew Misa - AKA the "Barefoot Assassin" (Bass, Jazz and Classically trained). [Grab a post-it now and paste to your desk - Miku (B/U and Rhythm,) Kaname (Lead) Akane (Drums) Misu (Bass) Saiki (Vocals)] Putting it together... It became apparent Mikus voice wasn't really suited to the style and so they decided to go find Lead Vocals and brought in Saiki. This basically put Miku out of a job in the band she created, but instead she adapted and Kaname started teaching her guitar. That's right. She couldn't even play in the first video they did 6 years ago. Now she has a 70-80s style aggressive punk style attack on rhythm and Kaname is constantly expanding her guitar parts in challenging ways. All while singing backup. Personally, I never could sing and play ha-ha Their first actual song they wrote and recorded was "Alone". They have changed label since and have joined a new one now for the new album going into 2021. Their look, songs, style etc. are their own. Not studio directed. Pretty cool these days. Note: Miku is the main lyricist and writes in heavy metaphors that can be interpreted many ways and often confusing in translation. So, they often add parts that audiences of any language can sing along. P.S. Please do not compare BAND-MAID to Baby Metal please. Its makes the Maidiacs very sad ;) Miku was asked one time about it. "We play our own instruments" was her short and simple answer. See ya next time peace
Saiki lost her shoes in the previous song and is having fun with it with the barefoot Assassin, Misa! This band just brings joy and fun when they play! And excellence! Akane is the happiest drummer on the planet, and one of the best! Kanami is a shredder Supreme!
Yeah Akane is the best! Her smile always makes everyone smile. I wish she received more camera time. This was one or the first songs I heard from them and is still one of my favorites. Along with about 90+ others. 😂 Is this your 3rd song? If you keep reacting to them you will be blown away by how diverse they are. Probably why I put them in my list of favorites!
Take a look at Lovebites "When Destinies Align" or "Swan Song" live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020. And there is much more. This Girls are awesome! Band Maid & Lovebites are one of my Favorite Bands from Japan!
Their image and individual stage personalities seem to have been well planned from the beginning. This was a band that was built from the ground up because they wanted to be good and be famous around the World, I have listened to all their albums and cannot remember a weak track on any of them. They still want to learn and are teaching each other. But their reactions to fans and to each other just makes me want to smile all the time. They are a delight and a breath of fresh air. They call it the 'Gap' when people fist see them. The gap between image and sound. To look that relaxed, sound that good and appear comfortable around each other takes phenomenal work.
Band-Maid was supposed to play at Inkarceration in Mansfield last summer.....COVID killed that..... BTW, what you described at 6:36 is exactly the effect that the band was going for. They even have a term for it. It's called "The Gap". It's the mental dissonance you experience from seeing them on stage and expecting one thing and then hearing something you TOTALLY didn't expect.
They can go much harder 😉 If you really wanna go crazy i suggest "Onset", it´s for sure something you never heard or never seen before. It´s not THAT heavy, but the structure, how they are able to play and that every member can shine in this song is totally unique. Have a good start into the week everybody and stay healthy. Greetings from Germany
You need to check out a video of "Omajinai Time." It's not a song, but a thing Miku (rhythm guitarist and founder) does at every show. And it's hilarious too, because it's mostly men in the audience who are these legit rockers, and they're all having a sort of kawaii (cute) time with her. They only understand about half of what she's saying, so it turns into this crazy "repeat after me" thing of awkward fun. It's really something you have to see to understand. But regardless, everyone seems to love it.
You're spoiling us, Jen! Thanks! Awesome reaction as always! Here's a treat - Just released today and not sure how long it'll stay up but Band-Maid appeared on NHK Tokyo TV for a 3 minute interview and then a live rendition of 'After Life', a track from the new album being released next week. There are English subtitles through it all, both the interview and performance. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/XEzqkU8Zako/v-deo.html . PS Best reaction to Band-Maid EVER! Gave me chills seeing you feel that same joy and awe I get whenever I watch THE best live Rock band on Earth. Great description of how you'd be after one of their gigs! Hopefully, you'll get to see them live. Hopefully, we all will. Also, try the instrumental 'Onset' live - ua-cam.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/v-deo.html . Oh, there's Babymetal too? You really are spoiling us!
I was so disappointed when COVID hit, They were supposed to play at Inkcarceration Fest in Mansfield Oh. July 12, 2020. I was heartbroken, I was lucky enough to discover them late in 2019, welcome to the Band Maidiacs...if you like power metal, try Lovebites, they are all Japanese female band too, I recommend "Hammer of Wrath" live...you'll be shocked by them too, guaranteed!
Check out some of their earlier stuff. Try "Don't let me down" it's in english, although Saiki's accent it somewhat thick, lol, it's a bit of a naughty song for such innocent looking ladies, but I believe you'll like it. Enjoy!
Their Opening Waltz for every concert is soo good 😍: ua-cam.com/video/_37u1yt1UgA/v-deo.html I also just love that thex Ooz out their Passion for Music and not just play their Instruments (especially Kanami gets so captivated in her playing the Guitar and she makes us captivated too 🥰 and also Akane on Drums) yes definitly check out Band Maiko Gion Cho and Freezer by Band Maid (here are the translated Lyrics for Freezer (only have to scroll down a little to see them): japaneseonestoplyrics.blogspot.com/2017/11/band-maid-freezer-lyrics-and-translation.html?m=1 ) and also if you wanna learn more about the Band itself i can recommendt reacting to these Interviews here(they have english subs): Gold Rush Interview Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/R4PofsQYwn4/v-deo.html Gold Rush Interview Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/YzWETTu-4iE/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/Q6OL5qJ0RiM/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/JTVMb_43dyc/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 3 ua-cam.com/video/hMhoXRlhWfs/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 4 ua-cam.com/video/LhR2BE_m8-0/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 5 ua-cam.com/video/jfJEDBZGwyc/v-deo.html Kannai Devil Interview Part 6 ua-cam.com/video/_AIxhBvMvUM/v-deo.html
Time for a dual Reaction! My picks are Puzzle "Live" and Puzzle "Acoustic" (PS. Hard to find!) Two sides of the same coin, in 2 different song structures... The gang below will add on to the long lists and its links....... Stay Safe ya!!
Hi Jen. Thank you for the vivid reaction. I can’t agree with you more. How about picking up [bubble] as next one. I have no doubt you’ll like it . They seem to tribute it for Freddie Mercury I guess . And this song never gets old in me .
I'm still in awe of Kanami. This is a young lady that when she doesn't have a guitar in her hands she is the stereotypical shy, cover her mouth when laughing, Japanese girl. But you put that instrument in her hands and she transforms into a rock goddess that shreds the faces of everyone in the audience. There's one video where during an intermission she asks Saiki for a hug. She loves Saiki so much, when Saiki said yes, she was bouncing like a schoolgirl. It was so cute, but then Miku had to pull her off Saiki, she wouldn't let go.😂🤣😂🤣
I'm waiting for the 3rd "Freedom". The one where Akane, Kanami & Miku all play awesome solos, Saiki falls into the crowd & loses her heels & MISA finishes the song :)
The reason for the impromptu on stage playful interaction between bass player Misa and lead singer Saiki seems to stem from the fact that for the first half of this performance of Real Existence Saiki is singing bare foot. This came about because during the previous song (Freedom) Saiki went into a female only section of the audience and was temporarily 'kidnapped' and in the process lost her high heels. Miku ended up finishing the vocals for that song. Saiki went up to Misa because Misa was also barefoot as traditionally Misa plays bass guitar barefoot during live performances. If you watch carefully, after the instrumental section Saiki is once again wearing her heels.
Jen please check out The Following Band Maid Official videos Take Your Time its a lot to take in. Yolo, Alone, Bubble, Endless Story, Blooming and Daydreaming. Yolo is my abosolute Favorite it makes me Happy Every Time. And Band Maid have another Project called Band Maiko with the video Secret Maiko Lips and Gion Cho very amazing videos. Ooops i almost forgot the Song Wonderland very very important :) My God the Pre-Exitement :) Took me Months to discover all these Songs but they are all soo amazing.

You will come back sore because they will be hitting you from the first song to the end of a 2 hour concert!!!! I am going to start eating more ramen, Kaiten Sushi and soba! That has to be where their energy comes from. They make faces at each other through the whole concert. It is some kind of game with them. Thrashing women that make you happy! Band Maid calls it the GAP! A gap between how someone appears and what they do, it draws attention. Miku has said that was what she was going for. The talent is dripping of the stage with these ladies.
Thank you for reacting to the BAND-MAID song. There are other bands in Japan that play great music. I recommend "Wagakki Band". The Wagakki Band has brought a new personality to the music world through the collaboration of Western music and Japanese musical instruments. It will hit you with a flood of sounds like a tornado of 2600 years of Japanese history, culture and beautiful music. ua-cam.com/video/K_xTet06SUo/v-deo.html
Japan seem to be producing happy drummers and bassists, and it just WRONG, we are not supose to feel like smiling when we hear music :) For a happy drummer and bassist check out "Nemophila - Oiran" or thier cover "Minions/Banana Song"
I have something else to suggest to you about Band-Maid. But you might not like the fantastic scenery of Kyoto's historic Geisha district. Maybe Band-Maid dressed in Maiko (apprentice Geisha) would not please you. There are also these traditional instruments mixed with electric instruments (it's so beautiful) there are chances that you won't like it. The song was specially written for this MV (I love this song so much ..) No .. finally I don't suggest you the song Gion Cho ua-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/v-deo.html You won't like that ..
Hii Jen, if you like crazy guitar solo's checkout LOVEBITES all Japanese female Heavy Metal Band live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, all songs are in English...check they play songs Raise Some Hell/Holy War..

That smile on MISA s Face after Saiki hugged her for 1/2 a second did it for me. What cool interaction between the Members
ARIGATO Lady Great reaction👏👏👏I also like vampire teeth naturally. I know Not much accepted in the world.but in Japan usually Vampire teeth are a charm point.🤗🤗🤗 I wish keep Band Maid Reaction🙏🙏🙏
Very underrated Live from Bando-Maid. Love that Miku pigtail assault
Secret My Lips - on their YT channel - you'll love it. :) Then Band-Maiko Secret Maiko Lips (the Band-Maiko version of the song) - you'll love that one too!
Hmm so the 2 versions of the same song. If more people had great ideas like that the world would be a better place :)
Same song yes, but they use the Maiko dialect and they added traditional Japanese instruments as well.
This was a great version of this song. My favorite part of your reaction was when Miku did her little half whispered part leading into last chorus. Miku is truly the embodiment of Kawaii! Where Kanami (lead guitar) is the instrumental genius of the band, Miku is, not only the lyrical genius, but is the heart of the band. I mean, the band was her vision to begin with.

You're spot on about how most people would react to them initially.

The super cute look is so disarming that when that opening riff kicks you tin the teeth, it does so way harder as a result which is where you end up begging for more.
I have enjoy time💗 nice reaction‼️
Goooood Goooood👍
次の曲も楽しみにしてまーす✨
❤️
You get it!! Their skills are as good as it gets and the joy is evident when they play. Welcome to being a Maidiac 🎸🥁🎶🎤🎧
wow !! Thank you for your wonderful reaction today!
I also love their (笑) smiles.
I am so glad to see people realize how much they make you feel good through their music, because theirs magic in Band Maid
Secret my Lips followed by Secret Maiko Lips! The versatility of this band will slay you!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Best rock band ever. NOT best girl band. Not best Japanese band. Best BAND period.
I've been saying the same thing since I caught just a few of their songs. Are they even capable of an average or even a sub-par song? I haven't found one yet. I love these ladies! It is like nothing I've ever experienced, so much talent, and they're having so much fun displaying it. I could go on and on, but I won't. Ok, I'll go on a bit more. I love them just for the fact that they have renewed real rock. Not the horrible dreck that we see in the US these days. BS record companies pushing putrid puke. I like that, Putrid Puke, the name of my new thrash metal band.
Don't You Tell Me live . There is a fantastic call and response between MISA-Base and Kanami- lead guitar. Epic.
MISA's bass line is truly amazing.
Wow at the Beginning i ve never seen Kanami Headband so hard WTF thats great
Hello.....Im 63 and I jumped on a plane to LA and went and saw our girls on 8/23. The whole experience mad feel like I was 18 again !!!!
Absolutely the BEST concert I have ever seen and I have seen some of the best!!!!!! Baid Maid is a must bucket list band. My next stop will be seeing them in Japan......I think that it would be a thrill !!!!
I never would have thought that I would absolutely love a Japanese rock band 😲 l have the same reaction you do ❤️
Aren’t they great, Carol?! I absolutely love them!!!

OMG! is Right!
When you handle "Band-Maid", their fans from all over the world gather like moths swarming on street lights. They make jokes and give lectures about Band-Maid. I have a big net and collect those guys (LOL).
You just described my first Band Maid show in Los Angeles horse voice sore body and had to wear a walking boot because I nearly tore my Achilles tendon and limped for the next 6 months from rocking out too hard. .......I would do it all over again and then two more times
Great reaction, heartfelt and genuine... can't wait to see your face when you react to Rinne.
The contrast between their image and their song is called The Gap. Don't fool with appearance, coz they gonna blow your mind with their music
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 A good live version of this song. The Tsunami Kanami is on 🔥🔥🔥 you got to see MISA crack a smile next to Saiki which is a very site on stage. B-M was supposed to be at Incarceration Festival in Ohio back in July 2020 and play on Sunday
The same day as Blink-182. It would have been B-M 1st outdoor festival in the US. ☹ fate had stepped in the way
No pun intended with "Fate"?
@@GaryHolloway-810 lol, I'm not that witty
@@curtisrrobles7885 You are cos you've surreptitiously added it without realising, so that makes you Uber witty :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 lol, I can't argue with that Vulcan logic
They were going to play Inkcarceration Festival in OH in 2020 until ‘rona cancelled it. ☹️☹️
Best thing about this band, beyond their phenomenal playing abilities, is their camaraderie and joy of playing together on stage. As hard as it’s been without live music this year, I think it’s been even harder for them. Saiki, especially, really seems to feed off the energy of the crowd.
Akane is the world’s happiest drummer. She’s always smiling or making funny faces, but she never misses a beat!
MISA MISA MISA! Sai-chan doing her Miku impression (giving the Bird) 1:38 and the Fated meeting between the Barefoot Contessa and the Barefoot Assassin 4:21
Yeah...It's hilarious how Saiki lost her shoes in the song before this one. Misa was making fun of her for it I would bet.
@@yolandria yup while Sai-chan couldn't kick her
Brand new Band-Maid video just dropped 45 minutes ago - “Manners” - I think it’s safe to say that you are going to love it!
I remember watching this Song for the First Time. The Official video. I was like Oh its a Typical Japanese Girl Band Punk Song Nothing Special. And then Kanami Hit me with these Guitar Solo s i was like wait a minute they are actually talented musicians. After that i saw Thrill and Alone and Before Yesterday and then i was a Fan after just 4 Songs.
There is no doubt about it, Band-Maid and Nightwish, the two best live groups to ever grace the stage. These girls bring it so hard that they have all other hard-rock bands from the last 40 years quaking in their boots. Awesome reaction Jen! Onset next?
💯
BAND-MAID just has so many catchy songs. They are perfectionists and they will never settle for average on any song. Their new album will drop in a few weeks and it’s gonna be mind blowing. If you want to watch a battle between the bassist Misa and the guitarist Kanomi then you need to check out Dont You Tell Me (live version). Fate is another song that’s a must ..
Fun reaction to watch, good job Jen!
I've never heard of them before are they Japanese I'm guessing? I can't understand what the singer is singing about but they sound pretty cool damn this has really got my pumped to start my own band which I have been saying for decades now very cool guitar solo man my mind was blown away ok I gotta practice my guitar more for hours I don't care what the recommended practice time is per day
5 Japanese ladies that will rock your world!
@@waynebenedict4609 Hellyeah
The best hard Rock band in the world right now and have been together since 2013. I've seen them in concert twice here in LA and they are Badass. Most of us Band-Maidiacs don't worry about the language but B-M has add more English to their songs in the last few years.
@@curtisrrobles7885 cool very cool
@@ronjohnson2193 ok cool I'll check them out thanks
Band-Maid is just an amazing band. You might want to check out "RINNE" MV for another heavy banger of a song. Thanks for your great reactions Jen. Always enjoyable.
If these ladies come to Ohio, I'll be there too!
MISA's bass tone is so great that I switched my amps away from Fender to Orange and have noticed a huge improvement.
Oh sweet! Maybe I’ll see ya there!!! Where at in Ohio?
@@JustJenRx, I'm in Greene County., fairly close to Clark County.
Great truth, a book is not judged only by the cover, and Japanese bands are no longer the cover of rock, but are the valuable content, great video reaction, If I may I would recommend another great all female band the Lovebites with "Swan Song"
To your comments on not expecting this out of a group dressed in MAID outfits. - BAND MAID calls it THE GAP! there's a gap between how someone appears and what they do, it draws attention. Some people find it attractive. Miku has said that was what she was going for.
I've seen all your reactions but it's fun to watch you over and over. You are truly a MAIDIAC!!!
I love the massive smile on Misas face when Saiki hugs her.
Hey Jen you react just like most everybody else does you have so many other songs to listen to I suggest ONSET one of there instrumental songs
Being a bass guitarist I can't wait for this one! Onset is on the way...
Hell yeah. Come to Ohio. To bad that you can no longer experience the ultimate guitar and bass duel "Don't You Tell Me". Misa and Kanami take serious shots back and forth. Unfortunately it's been pulled from UA-cam. If nothing else check out some of the reactions to it there are some fun reactions for this amazing performance.
Some other all-female rock bands: Lovebites (metal with two lead guitars); Aldious (metal); Doll$boxx; Paranoid Void (math rock); Otoboke Beaver (hardcore punk)
I've seen them a few times, always in small venues, and believe me, you don't need any Lazers, they are amazing just naturally. I don't like being around people at all, but I toughed it out in line and waiting for the band to start, and I just had the best of times, in spite of the interaction of humans
Oh how neat! I hope they come this year!
Onset. Its a live instrumental. You want the ladies on instruments to shine. This will leave you with your jaw on the floor. Kanami is incredible here..Puzzle is so good, great guitar riffs, again Kanami is incredible. Rinne, a much harder song.
Amazing video
Keep up the great vids 😁
Thanks my dear friend
😁❤️
I think 'Real Existence' is a good title to highlight the one who usually gets a little short in the comments about this band. Miku Kobato (2nd vocalist and lead-guitar). We can't be thankful enough to this little pigeon for coming up with the idea for this band and working so hard for it. Without her there would be 'no existence' of Band-Maid. 🤘🕊🤘
hehe. Well, you have reacted to three now and time to know who is who. There may be a test next time! :P
Welcome to your journey down the pigeon hole. I prepared this little guide to help you handle the adventure you are about to embark on.
Once upon a time in Japan....
Miku (Who is a 300+ year old pigeon... long story) was in a short lived "idol" band in Japan and ended up working in a "Maid Cafe". She came up with idea to create a rocking band in maid costumes. A "Gap" as its called in appearance to action.
Miku found singer/songwriter Kaname (Lead Guitar and main Composer), who knew Akane - AKA "The Gorilla - she likes bananas a lot! (drums - Jazz and Classically Trained), who knew Misa - AKA the "Barefoot Assassin" (Bass, Jazz and Classically trained).
[Grab a post-it now and paste to your desk - Miku (B/U and Rhythm,) Kaname (Lead) Akane (Drums) Misu (Bass) Saiki (Vocals)]
Putting it together...
It became apparent Mikus voice wasn't really suited to the style and so they decided to go find Lead Vocals and brought in Saiki. This basically put Miku out of a job in the band she created, but instead she adapted and Kaname started teaching her guitar. That's right. She couldn't even play in the first video they did 6 years ago. Now she has a 70-80s style aggressive punk style attack on rhythm and Kaname is constantly expanding her guitar parts in challenging ways. All while singing backup.
Personally, I never could sing and play ha-ha
Their first actual song they wrote and recorded was "Alone". They have changed label since and have joined a new one now for the new album going into 2021. Their look, songs, style etc. are their own. Not studio directed.
Pretty cool these days.
Note: Miku is the main lyricist and writes in heavy metaphors that can be interpreted many ways and often confusing in translation. So, they often add parts that audiences of any language can sing along.
P.S. Please do not compare BAND-MAID to Baby Metal please. Its makes the Maidiacs very sad ;)
Miku was asked one time about it. "We play our own instruments" was her short and simple answer.
See ya next time
peace
Saiki lost her shoes in the previous song and is having fun with it with the barefoot Assassin, Misa! This band just brings joy and fun when they play! And excellence! Akane is the happiest drummer on the planet, and one of the best! Kanami is a shredder Supreme!
Yeah Akane is the best! Her smile always makes everyone smile. I wish she received more camera time.
This was one or the first songs I heard from them and is still one of my favorites. Along with about 90+ others. 😂 Is this your 3rd song? If you keep reacting to them you will be blown away by how diverse they are. Probably why I put them in my list of favorites!
One reviewer called Akane, The Happiest Drummer On Earth ! Even Misa the bassist was smiling, rare.
Take a look at Lovebites "When Destinies Align" or "Swan Song" live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020. And there is much more. This Girls are awesome! Band Maid & Lovebites are one of my Favorite Bands from Japan!
Their image and individual stage personalities seem to have been well planned from the beginning. This was a band that was built from the ground up because they wanted to be good and be famous around the World, I have listened to all their albums and cannot remember a weak track on any of them. They still want to learn and are teaching each other. But their reactions to fans and to each other just makes me want to smile all the time. They are a delight and a breath of fresh air. They call it the 'Gap' when people fist see them. The gap between image and sound. To look that relaxed, sound that good and appear comfortable around each other takes phenomenal work.
Band-Maid was supposed to play at Inkarceration in Mansfield last summer.....COVID killed that.....
BTW, what you described at 6:36 is exactly the effect that the band was going for. They even have a term for it. It's called "The Gap". It's the mental dissonance you experience from seeing them on stage and expecting one thing and then hearing something you TOTALLY didn't expect.
They are awesome!! If you want to really hear how good Akane is on drums, try “Rinne”.
You'll have to petition your local promoter HARD. they're getting really popular abroad now(please do so!). ;) everyone loves to feel wanted!
They can go much harder 😉 If you really wanna go crazy i suggest "Onset", it´s for sure something you never heard or never seen before. It´s not THAT heavy, but the structure, how they are able to play and that every member can shine in this song is totally unique. Have a good start into the week everybody and stay healthy. Greetings from Germany
On my list already 😉
That difference between what you expect and what you get is what they call "The Gap" and is part of Miku's original idea of maids just rocking. :)
You need to check out a video of "Omajinai Time." It's not a song, but a thing Miku (rhythm guitarist and founder) does at every show. And it's hilarious too, because it's mostly men in the audience who are these legit rockers, and they're all having a sort of kawaii (cute) time with her. They only understand about half of what she's saying, so it turns into this crazy "repeat after me" thing of awkward fun. It's really something you have to see to understand. But regardless, everyone seems to love it.
Moe, Moe, Kyun
@@ShikataGaNai100 Moe, Moe, Kyun!!! lol
Miku's Magic Time! Moe, Moe, Kyun, Kyun! Po.
You're spoiling us, Jen! Thanks! Awesome reaction as always! Here's a treat - Just released today and not sure how long it'll stay up but Band-Maid appeared on NHK Tokyo TV for a 3 minute interview and then a live rendition of 'After Life', a track from the new album being released next week. There are English subtitles through it all, both the interview and performance. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/XEzqkU8Zako/v-deo.html . PS Best reaction to Band-Maid EVER! Gave me chills seeing you feel that same joy and awe I get whenever I watch THE best live Rock band on Earth. Great description of how you'd be after one of their gigs! Hopefully, you'll get to see them live. Hopefully, we all will. Also, try the instrumental 'Onset' live - ua-cam.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/v-deo.html . Oh, there's Babymetal too? You really are spoiling us!
Oh I’m going to come at it hard with Band-Maid and BabyMetal!!! Expect more VERY SOON!!!
@@JustJenRx Can't wait! Especially Band-Maid - live and MV's are nearly all excellent.
I was so disappointed when COVID hit, They were supposed to play at Inkcarceration Fest in Mansfield Oh. July 12, 2020. I was heartbroken, I was lucky enough to discover them late in 2019, welcome to the Band Maidiacs...if you like power metal, try Lovebites, they are all Japanese female band too, I recommend "Hammer of Wrath" live...you'll be shocked by them too, guaranteed!
Check out some of their earlier stuff. Try "Don't let me down" it's in english, although Saiki's accent it somewhat thick, lol, it's a bit of a naughty song for such innocent looking ladies, but I believe you'll like it. Enjoy!
they released their second number of their new album unseen world (20-1) an hour ago manners check it out jen
Their Opening Waltz for every concert is soo good 😍: ua-cam.com/video/_37u1yt1UgA/v-deo.html
I also just love that thex Ooz out their Passion for Music and not just play their Instruments (especially Kanami gets so captivated in her playing the Guitar and she makes us captivated too 🥰 and also Akane on Drums) yes definitly check out Band Maiko Gion Cho and Freezer by Band Maid (here are the translated Lyrics for Freezer (only have to scroll down a little to see them): japaneseonestoplyrics.blogspot.com/2017/11/band-maid-freezer-lyrics-and-translation.html?m=1 ) and also if you wanna learn more about the Band itself i can recommendt reacting to these Interviews here(they have english subs):

Time for a dual Reaction! My picks are Puzzle "Live" and Puzzle "Acoustic" (PS. Hard to find!)
Two sides of the same coin, in 2 different song structures...
The gang below will add on to the long lists and its links.......
Stay Safe ya!!
Ooooh I love a challenge!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Jen. Thank you for the vivid reaction. I can’t agree with you more.
How about picking up [bubble] as next one. I have no doubt you’ll like it .
They seem to tribute it for Freddie Mercury I guess . And this song never gets old in me .
Oooo I love Freddie!! I’ll definitely do that one soon!!!
I'm still in awe of Kanami. This is a young lady that when she doesn't have a guitar in her hands she is the stereotypical shy, cover her mouth when laughing, Japanese girl. But you put that instrument in her hands and she transforms into a rock goddess that shreds the faces of everyone in the audience. There's one video where during an intermission she asks Saiki for a hug. She loves Saiki so much, when Saiki said yes, she was bouncing like a schoolgirl. It was so cute, but then Miku had to pull her off Saiki, she wouldn't let go.😂🤣😂🤣
She also has a university degree in economics.
BAND-MAID is 500 lbs of badass.
Oddly enough... they were scheduled to play in Ohio at 2020 inkarceration... but Covid happened.
I'm waiting for the 3rd "Freedom". The one where Akane, Kanami & Miku all play awesome solos, Saiki falls into the crowd & loses her heels & MISA finishes the song :)
Fact Check True
🦍🥁 🌊🎸🐦🎸 🎤 👨👩👦👦👩👧👦👠👨👩👧👦👨👧👦👣🎸🎶🎵🎶
You mean Miku finishes the song.
@@yolandria No that's the 1st version. This is the 3rd version they haven't done yet :)
Saiki begins singing barefoot because she lost one of her heels. During guitar solo, she regains her heels and finally puts on her heels.
Hey Jen great News Band Maid just dropped a New Video called Manners
The reason for the impromptu on stage playful interaction between bass player Misa and lead singer Saiki seems to stem from the fact that for the first half of this performance of Real Existence Saiki is singing bare foot. This came about because during the previous song (Freedom) Saiki went into a female only section of the audience and was temporarily 'kidnapped' and in the process lost her high heels. Miku ended up finishing the vocals for that song. Saiki went up to Misa because Misa was also barefoot as traditionally Misa plays bass guitar barefoot during live performances. If you watch carefully, after the instrumental section Saiki is once again wearing her heels.
Jen please check out The Following Band Maid Official videos Take Your Time its a lot to take in. Yolo, Alone, Bubble, Endless Story, Blooming
and Daydreaming. Yolo is my abosolute Favorite it makes me Happy Every Time. And Band Maid have another Project called Band Maiko with the video Secret Maiko Lips and Gion Cho very amazing videos. Ooops i almost forgot the Song Wonderland very very important :)
My God the Pre-Exitement :)
Took me Months to discover all these Songs but they are all soo amazing.

I left a comment. It appears to be missing. Anyhoo needless to say it was a great comment :)
IIRC, they were supposed to be at some kind of festival in Ohio in 2020, but COVID got in the way
"There is no life without music." - Haruna Ono, SCANDAL, Standard (...for the record, Haruna and Akane are good friends and shopping buddies.)
next " Daydreaming "
One of the best female drummers maybe? But there are so many great ones these days!
Band Maid tocan excelente ella son hermosas te recomiendo que veas un grupo japones q se llama maximum the hormone
Perhaps she's ready for 'Onset' now? An instrumental might be a nice break 😉
Let's hold off with 'Rinne' for a while 😜 Then.... maybe not? hehe
😬
You will come back sore because they will be hitting you from the first song to the end of a 2 hour concert!!!! I am going to start eating more ramen, Kaiten Sushi and soba! That has to be where their energy comes from.
They make faces at each other through the whole concert. It is some kind of game with them.
Thrashing women that make you happy! Band Maid calls it the GAP! A gap between how someone appears and what they do, it draws attention. Miku has said that was what she was going for.
The talent is dripping of the stage with these ladies.
Fellow oHIo chika here. They were actually supposed to play inkcarceration last summer, but then covid happen :/
Whatever you do in life .. there is always a young japanese woman that will do it better. Count on it.
Lol truth!!!
They were going to be at a tattoo and music fest in Ohio but yeah. Corona. Hopefully it'll happen again.
Inkcarceration? 🤞🤞🤞
@@JustJenRx yea that was the one I was debating going to it since it was only 2 hours away
HOLY F !
You need to check out Fate Gear. Start with Headless Godess.
Are you going to see them May 24th in Detroit? Got my ticket!
"Look to all those laseeers !"
wasnt chickens ?
Please react to their “Onset” next. If you want to hear their heavier metal side, check out “Rinne”.
Stay tuned!!!
iam comming for Band Maid and witing for you react Lovebites,
guitar solo is Lovebites
Please react Lovebites
Holy War
from Japan
Due to come soon!!! Stay tuned🤘
Thank you for reacting to the BAND-MAID song. There are other bands in Japan that play great music. I recommend "Wagakki Band". The Wagakki Band has brought a new personality to the music world through the collaboration of Western music and Japanese musical instruments. It will hit you with a flood of sounds like a tornado of 2600 years of Japanese history, culture and beautiful music. ua-cam.com/video/K_xTet06SUo/v-deo.html
BM and BM and BM - they are all great!!! Though my heart is still true to Su-Moa(-Yui)(Avengers)-Kamis
Japan seem to be producing happy drummers and bassists, and it just WRONG, we are not supose to feel like smiling when we hear music :)
For a happy drummer and bassist check out "Nemophila - Oiran" or thier cover "Minions/Banana Song"
Oh dear, what your reaction be to Love bites then.
Hey Jen, can you Check Out "Eskimo Callboy- Hypa Hypa"? Screamo Band from Germany
I have something else to suggest to you about Band-Maid. But you might not like the fantastic scenery of Kyoto's historic Geisha district. Maybe Band-Maid dressed in Maiko (apprentice Geisha) would not please you. There are also these traditional instruments mixed with electric instruments (it's so beautiful) there are chances that you won't like it. The song was specially written for this MV (I love this song so much ..) No .. finally I don't suggest you the song Gion Cho ua-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/v-deo.html You won't like that ..
Hii Jen, if you like crazy guitar solo's checkout LOVEBITES all Japanese female Heavy Metal Band live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, all songs are in English...check they play songs Raise Some Hell/Holy War..
LOL, you say you never pause a video during a guitar solo yet you've paused almost every guitar solo in Band-Maid videos! 🤣
Ahh, but this video is old. I have learned my lesson.
Love your reactions! New sub gained \,,/ Check out Kataklysm's official live video "Where the enemy sleeps". My favorite melodic death metal band!
Thank you for your support!!! ❤️ Jj
