From the brilliant mind of Kanami to three (sometimes four) other members, Band Maid becomes a conduit of musical genius to the rest of the world...if only MORE would listen !
I just listened to that, that song is amazing. I kind of wish I waited to see if they uploaded the MV to their YT channel first, but dang that song ripped.
This is certainly also due to the fact that the two have been good friends for years and also hang out together in their spare time. Akane brought MISA into the band in the first place. It was her suggestion to ask MISA if she wanted to join the band. The two are the rock solid foundation of the band.
@@Medley3000 As do they all and it's this friendship that is the reason their shows are so superlative! It's refreshing when band mates truly like each other and get along both on and off the stage!
@@carlnietoweise4653 I missed the interaction when they were doing shows with no audience. I'm glad they did them, but the new tour should provide some great music.
As an old fan of 70's fusion, I love the combination of fusion tropes with that dirty, driven hard-rock sound. You are right, they seem able to do anything they want and sound great at it.
Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?! Thx, MaMe!
I highly suggest you watch the new "From Now On" (instrumental) MV on the bonus disc on the new album. It's a proper MV. And the audio on the bluray is stellar. You can hear everything - better than the CD. The song is bloody genius. But with the visual in the MV, you will feel things. I really mean it. Old rockers will feel that feelings of younger years - something you felt but lost a long time ago. Watching them, I feel like the three ladies (Kanami, MISA and Akane) have reached a certain level of higher plain of genius. It's fleeting, you may not catch it. But they are there. I was absolutely mesmerized. This band is something else. The vibe I get is not like Lovebites; I like Lovebites and they are stellar, too. No, we are not talking about some technical levels. It's something else.
From now on,,Blew my mind,im in my 60s and totally agree,they have something else,that all the bands i have seen and heard, didnt have,this band is the real deal.
With me it isn't that Band-Maid has songs that are in my old music wheelhouse, though they do have many-many there, but that once I found those they then got me to expand my own wheelhouse to match theirs and happily follow wherever that trail goes. Liking every twist and turn.
I used to think real bass players don't use a pick, but I have changed my mind because of MISA. I love how she curls the pick into her index finger when she slaps and pops. The switching is so fast, like sleight of hand. She has a very unique style all of her own, and never just holds down the bottom. As for the drummer, she has superior technique and a unique way of using that double bass. As for the lead guitar...pffffffffffffft. 🙃
When the Ladies were first formed, since Miku couldn't play MISA was tasked to help fill in the areas where Miku's guitar SHOULD have been, but because she wasn't as skilled, she wasn't. Hence MISA stepping in. Even though Miku is now one of the top 50 live rhythm guitarists currently, MISA STILL covers that area, giving Band-Maid it's unique sound.
Band Maid will make it there own and do it extremely well . Many look for a comfort place with music I find . This turns many off to bands like this . With Band Maid you only have one thing you can count on it will be very very good Great reaction / review ty Try Without Holding Back instrumental 👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant! Their instrumentals are awesomely fantastic. Their newest instrumental released this week FROM NOW ON is right up there but still love ONSET the most. Peace. 2.43
@@GaryHolloway-810 Gary, I'm guessing originally From Now On was their next stage entrance song but they made it into a straight instrumental. They do so many cool and quirky things. 😎
They do indeed have a backing track and are playing to a click trak. This was brought home to me when I saw a reaction to them, (i can't remember the song) where the sound from live sucked and they had the album version playing underneath the live video. They hit every note and change to such a degree that it was eerie. I also love MISA's solos. Most bass players play a guitar solo on bass and while difficult doesn't have the impact that MISA generates. She plays a solo that is geared to the strong points of the bass, not a transplanted guitar riff. Good reactions, you gained my subscription.
The backing track and click tracks are one reason you don't get a whole lot of improv from them live. They have to stay synced and tight in the pocket to make it work
@@armynurseboy You are right, they don't do a lot of improv, but they will put in intros and other parts such as the long instrumental in Domination at Line Cube Shibuya that are unique to each performance. The creativity and ability that this shows is humbling.
7:30 I can assure you that Miku plays this part herself. There is a Blu-ray on which they recorded all four musicians separately and you can follow exactly what they do. Miku's guitar skills have improved a lot in the last few years. Kanami is her teacher and entrusts her with more and more complicated phrases. I actually expect her to get a real solo in a song soon in the future.
I just got the CONQUEROR Blue Ray and I just hit PLAY ALL and watched Miku, Kanami, Misa, and Akane play on the 'individual focus' Onset videos. Watching each individually is amazing because they make it sound so easy!
Love this song! The instrumentals get better and better. Check out "Without Holding Back", that is a good one as well. Thanks for the reaction, much appreciated.
Miku's rhythm guitar playing is fantastic throughout this song, after only been playing for 6 years. She's my hero! Akane is the most consistant styled playing, drummer around these days.
Love your reactions!, talking about a dark environment, they do a challenge when they are rehearsing, they play blind folded, there is a video of them playing blindfolded wile rehearsing. which is fantastic and super hard!
The second guitar part you hear is the backing track. Miku is holding down the rhythm chucking out power chords. And yes, Onset is written with a conventional song structure, with Kanami's lines essentially playing the "vocals".
At 5'6", Akane is relatively tall for a Japanese woman, so power is NOT a problem. She also just enjoys playing...and, His Holiness TinyHat-san propels her forward.
Akane cites Nao Kawakita, drummer from the group Maximum the Hormone as the one who showed her that women could play just as hard as men.. Nao is cited as an inspiration for many of the female drummers from Japan.. during the pandemic, Akane committed herself to practice and physical workouts to improve herself..
OK, Dude.... Love to see someone of my generation come along to these bad ass ladies. FREEDOM!!!! Alone, Moratorium, matchlessGUM, SHAKE THAT, Screaming, Choose Me, Chemical Reaction, and on and on..... for a ballad, About Us. \m/ I became a MAIDIAC about two years ago. These ladies renewed my faith in music. I grew up in the late 70's and early 80's. Bang your head.
I know what you mean about stages where it's hard to see. I've had to play on some really dark settings. What's worse is playing in clubs where I could barely hear myself play, and I had to take all of my ques from listening to the drums.
Great reaction, love your honesty. For you being a Misa fan, this little titbit about her attitude ... she revealed in an interview _she hated her need for sleep, it was interfering with her progress on the bass_. Also. What stood out to me when Miku, pupil of Kanami, was doing her rhythm solo, the way her professional friends came in to give power to what she was doing... breathtaking. It was like they put her on their shoulders, cheering her on!
Mostly in official live footage. Miku is always in left speaker/earphone side, and Kanami in right side speaker /earphone. That third guitar in the center is backing track.
This song is from "Band-Maid Tour Live" held by BAND-MAID at Zepp Tokyo on April 13, 2018 Please subscribe to their channel (if you haven't): ua-cam.com/users/BANDMAIDvideos Setlist: 01． Domination 02． Play 03． Spirit!! 04． The Non-fiction Days 05． Moratoriamu 06． Alive-or-dead 07． Cross 08． Turn Me On 09． Don’t You Tell Me 10． Daydreaming 11． One And Only 12． Puzzle 13． Anemone 14． Dice 15． Secret My Lips 16． Clang 17． Fate 18． Onset 19． Carry On Living 20． Alone 21． Rock In Me 22． I Can’t Live Without You. 23． You. 24． Freedom 25． Real Existence 26． Choose Me
The third guitar is on the backing track/click track. When they have played this during that Live Online shows they didn't use the same backing track so they didn't have the third guitar, nor did Kanami use her delay for that performance, so she did trem picking. Akane also uses a type of floppy wrist technique which allows her to hit VERY hard without using too much force. And all we ask as your viewers is your honest opinion.
Yes, onset, the song that finally cemented me as a full Maidiac 🤘🏻 And if you're really into instrumentals, you have have have to check out the band "Asterism". 3 still so young musicians with such incredible talent and skills. Please try their songs "Dawn", "Church" or "Full throttle". Thanks.
I call MISA and Akane The Thunder Buddies. Together they're one of the best rhythm sections currently playing, anywhere. MISA, considered on her own, is on whole other level of talent with regard to her instrument. Easily argued she's one of the best bass players currently... and that's not me trying fanboi/simp. Objectively speaking her choice of phrasing, tempo, composition/composing, notes, and least not of all her TONE put her in any discussion. Miku's Zemaitis all have an awesome dirty sound to them and are integral to Band-Maid's sound as much as Saiki's vocals, Akane's drum patterns, or MISA's bass tone or Kanami's playing. Oh, and Akane's thunder comes from her hand speed, snappy wrists and great choice of tone on all her skins.
Just revisiting this reaction.....and I must agree, about the bass......I can sing lead and play drums or guitar......but when I'm playing the bass....if I open my mouth....my hands freeze....LOL....now....completely off topic....I noticed yer lil Peavey amp.....I have an old Pro studio 112, I bought used about 30 years ago....although I prefer my Vox AC 30 TB, I'm always playing through the Peavey....never an issue....(knock on wood)....LOL.....nice work man.....enjoy seeing the smiles Band Maid can generate.....thanks man
@@RahimRahmat Well. I'd watched Mr B react to "Raise a Suilen" & then i came here & the comment popped into my head. I thougnt Oh no i could have used "Raise the Titanic-Raise a Suilen comment on Mr B's channel instead of Today i shall call you Mr Ballad Bustin' B".😆
as you asked the height of the people from Lovebites, I found the height of Band Maid members: MISA 5'7" Akane 5'6" Saiki 5'4" Kanami 5'2" and Miku 5'1"
This is my favorite reaction of yours! I'm only sad because it means that I like the others less😃 Some great insights from you. Kanami stearing the song and playing the vocal part were my favorites. On a deluxe edition of the CONQUEROR cd there is a Blu-ray that features separate visual versions with a camera on an individual member for the whole song. For the songs DOMINATION, DICE and ONSET. Here's a link for ONSET. This channel has moreua-cam.com/video/oVEOlBUSzMY/v-deo.html
the obvious mirroring of intro and outro is only in "blooming", afaik. this instrumental piece, just like most of their material, is mainly in 4/4, but the 'pre-chorus' is in 5/4. credit to the fill beast for her uncanny dynamics and choice patterns. if this is a very pleasant showcase, 'from now on' will blow your socks off.
You're the first reactor I've seen notice that there's a backing track in this song. It's brief and tasteful and not a lead part, but it's there. It took me a while to figure it out. I could hear that Kanamincho was doing her thing, Kobato was chunking away in the rhythm, and then there's a third guitar part. Unless Saiki is offstage playing - which would be awesome but is highly doubtful - then it's a backing track.
want more of Misa's bass and the drummer Akane lets do hell for another song .. 220 bbm Manners and Black Hole .. ua-cam.com/video/iaf94nNSRGE/v-deo.html welcome to the band maid rabbit hole ..
Misa is a great bassist and getting well-deserved recognition in the west. But I wish more people looked into Misa's obvious influence Tokie, who Misa cited as the inspiration for taking up the bass. Tokie was the original bassist for Rize but quit before they blew up internationally because she was in such high demand as a studio musician she couldn't tour outside Japan. She then played for both the punk/jazz band Losalios and the super-group Ajico. Later she formed the band Unkie with downy guitarist Yutaka Aoki. Especially in her work with Losalios, you can hear Tokie's influence on Misa's style, even in the way they move on stage.
@@laughingbuddha2948 Unkie was a really good band with a lot of bad videos of their live performances. TOKIE formed it with guitarist Yutaka Aoki from the mathrock band downy and drummer Hiroshi Kido from Kenichi Asai's band Jude. It was active until 2018 when Aoki died from leukemia. Check them out: ua-cam.com/video/4IBwZvUqqi8/v-deo.html&start_radio=1 ua-cam.com/video/FjLTisTDmzw/v-deo.html
Miku is playing the Zemaitis black Ace Guitar in this video .. and her amp is the EVH amp (Eddie Van Halen) Misa on the base with a Orange amp and Kanami with the Mesa boogie amp and PRS Guitar .. pretty sure i got that correct .. Love this band .. no clue who makes Misa Bass Guitar ..
Misa's basses are supplied by Black Cloud a boutique Japanese maker. They are custom made for her. Miku is playing her Eights and Aces. Our pigeon is a wicked good poker player as well.
@@jimmack4986 I looked it up: she used Marshalls when on tour. In most early vids she's using either a Blackstar head and cabinet or the Divided by 13 amp. She didn't start using the EVH until Conqueror.
Akane smiles while she’s playing the drums… This is what I think about why, is that… because she has no fears at all to the next stroke she’s emitting, not even every moment, she’s fully confident about what she’s doing, and she knows it’s gonna happen as is and has happened as was, and will happen as will be. What makes that happen is the fact she writes all the beats on paper or the musical score thought out her musical arrangement and production stages, and finally she’s memorized all of it she’s got it in her mind. That’s SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING NOW AND IN THE NEXT MOMENT, through out the entire song or the live, itself. Little improvisation against all that jazz this incomparable, genius drummer writes. That's it!!!
And what you said about being able to see what you’re playing if you need to. Think about the fact that when they started Miku couldn’t even play the guitar
If you like instrumentals, try B-M's new one "From now on" from their brand-new EP "Unleash". That's on another level! No video, but it doesn't need one.
Onset is the song that Madiacs usually show musicians because it's inspiring. But what if I told you that this is their 3rd best instrumental? :) "Don't be long" is the B-Side for the single Different, and "from now on" is the opening track from the new EP Unleash. In particular, "from now on" is one of the more amazing pieces of music I've heard recently. I think you'll love it. Looks like we need to get you "Freedom" (live), "Puzzle" (live and acoustic), "Daydreaming" (M/V), "Moratorium" (live), and "Real Existence" (live) to round out your older Band Maid education. Then "Warning" (M/V), "Black Hole" (live), "No God" (live), "Sense" (M/V), "Unleash" (M/V), and "Influencer" (M/V) to get you caught up with new stuff... so lots to look forward to. :) Members of the community can help you with anything not on UA-cam if you give a place to reach out to you.
Onset has a completely different vibe to their other instrumentals. I've heard many people said FNO is the true instrumental, but I can imagine Saiki's vocal over it easily while with onset, I can't. It has to be Kanami's guitar doing the melody / chorus part. I personally think all their recent instrumentals are kind of similar, although much more technical for sure.
You mentioned a few things. 1: The force Akane uses. For a perfect example of that in action. Check out the Official MV for "Secret My Lips". You can find it on their channel. And god...I felt for that snare. She was beating it like it owed her money! At certain spots the force generated was lifting her off the chair. 2: As far as blind/dark conditions. The girls actually train for that. There is footage of them practicing blindfolded.
5:04 Kanami, eyes closed, head back, playing without looking, lost in her music. One of my favorite BAND-MAID images.
pretty much what I look like when I am listening to Onset - except for the playing part of course
BAND-MAID'S Onset = Simply a MASTERPIECE!! Thanks again!🤘🤩🤘

5/4 then 2/2, then 1/1
Misa has so much style as a bassist. I love the way she plays, and how she and Akane mesh together. This is a really outstanding rhythm section.

@@RahimRahmat Well. I'd watched Mr B react to "Raise a Suilen" & then i came here & the comment popped into my head. I thougnt Oh no i could have used "Raise the Titanic-Raise a Suilen comment on Mr B's channel instead of Today i shall call you Mr Ballad Bustin' B".😆
@@GaryHolloway-810 Amazing!
as you asked the height of the people from Lovebites, I found the height of Band Maid members: MISA 5'7" Akane 5'6" Saiki 5'4" Kanami 5'2" and Miku 5'1"
Since you mention Akane's preferred speed at drums, might give Manners/Black Hole a listen.
Oh great, just when I'd decided that Band-Maid's new instrumental "from now on" is their best, I get a 20 minute refutation of that view!
This is my favorite reaction of yours! I'm only sad because it means that I like the others less😃
Some great insights from you.
Kanami stearing the song and playing the vocal part were my favorites.
On a deluxe edition of the CONQUEROR cd there is a Blu-ray that features separate visual versions with a camera on an individual member for the whole song. For the songs DOMINATION, DICE and ONSET. Here's a link for ONSET. This channel has moreua-cam.com/video/oVEOlBUSzMY/v-deo.html
That's Miku's part.
🤘😎🤘
the obvious mirroring of intro and outro is only in "blooming", afaik.
this instrumental piece, just like most of their material, is mainly in 4/4, but the 'pre-chorus' is in 5/4. credit to the fill beast for her uncanny dynamics and choice patterns.
if this is a very pleasant showcase, 'from now on' will blow your socks off.
You're the first reactor I've seen notice that there's a backing track in this song. It's brief and tasteful and not a lead part, but it's there. It took me a while to figure it out. I could hear that Kanamincho was doing her thing, Kobato was chunking away in the rhythm, and then there's a third guitar part. Unless Saiki is offstage playing - which would be awesome but is highly doubtful - then it's a backing track.
want more of Misa's bass and the drummer Akane lets do hell for another song .. 220 bbm
Manners and Black Hole ..

welcome to the band maid rabbit hole ..
Misa is a great bassist and getting well-deserved recognition in the west. But I wish more people looked into Misa's obvious influence Tokie, who Misa cited as the inspiration for taking up the bass. Tokie was the original bassist for Rize but quit before they blew up internationally because she was in such high demand as a studio musician she couldn't tour outside Japan. She then played for both the punk/jazz band Losalios and the super-group Ajico. Later she formed the band Unkie with downy guitarist Yutaka Aoki. Especially in her work with Losalios, you can hear Tokie's influence on Misa's style, even in the way they move on stage.
Tokie played in Unkie?😲
@@laughingbuddha2948 Unkie was a really good band with a lot of bad videos of their live performances. TOKIE formed it with guitarist Yutaka Aoki from the mathrock band downy and drummer Hiroshi Kido from Kenichi Asai's band Jude. It was active until 2018 when Aoki died from leukemia. Check them out:

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
There is a video out there that shows them practicing with masks on playing blindfolded.
Miku is playing the Zemaitis black Ace Guitar in this video .. and her amp is the EVH amp (Eddie Van Halen)
Misa on the base with a Orange amp and Kanami with the Mesa boogie amp and PRS Guitar .. pretty sure i got that correct ..
Love this band .. no clue who makes Misa Bass Guitar ..
Misa's basses are supplied by Black Cloud a boutique Japanese maker. They are custom made for her. Miku is playing her Eights and Aces. Our pigeon is a wicked good poker player as well.
Miku plays on an EVH now. I believe she was still using a Marshall at this point in time.....
@@armynurseboy all the video I watch of them .. never seen that amp on stage
@@jimmack4986 I looked it up: she used Marshalls when on tour. In most early vids she's using either a Blackstar head and cabinet or the Divided by 13 amp. She didn't start using the EVH until Conqueror.
MISA the barefoot Assassin got that nick for a reason ^^ well they all have their nick's for a reason XD
30 days till DC.
not quite sure why my brain keeps going there with this song but the build up reminds me sooo much of fire on high by ELO... am i the only one?
How many skins does akane go through. Damn it
Well she gets through countless banana skins!
@@Davey-Boyd hahahahaha most brilliant answer
Akane smiles while she’s playing the drums…
This is what I think about why, is that…
because she has no fears at all to the next stroke she’s emitting, not even every moment, she’s fully confident about what she’s doing, and she knows it’s gonna happen as is and has happened as was, and will happen as will be.
What makes that happen is the fact she writes all the beats on paper or the musical score thought out her musical arrangement and production stages, and finally she’s memorized all of it she’s got it in her mind.
That’s SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING NOW AND IN THE NEXT MOMENT, through out the entire song or the live, itself.
Little improvisation against all that jazz this incomparable, genius drummer writes.
That's it!!!
And what you said about being able to see what you’re playing if you need to. Think about the fact that when they started Miku couldn’t even play the guitar
5/4, then 2/2, then 1/1, back to 4/4, I think
Holy Crap!!!
Mostly 4/4 with a couple bars of 5/4.
1/1, 2/2, 4/4, 🍅🍅
Oh and I think the "third guitar" you're hearing might well be Kanami, playing over a harmonizer and delay combo.
MADEcostumeでhardrockなんて、世界は?でしょうね、でも聴いてください､彼女たちはhardROCKERです。
Do them! Break down all 5 parts.
Love GUITARS?
You SERIOUSLY have to react to ANY SONGS from *TINA S.* 🔥🎸🔥
If you like instrumentals, try B-M's new one "From now on" from their brand-new EP "Unleash". That's on another level! No video, but it doesn't need one.
The is a video but it's only on the special edition DVD/Blu-rays, no YT.
@@geoffb5 Correct! I should have mentioned that.
@@nussekuddenxxx6564 I figured you knew, I just want to encourage people to get the CD+DVD/Blu-ray edition while they are still available.
@@geoffb5 well.....there is a vid of it on YT, but don't know how long it will stay up.....
Onset is the song that Madiacs usually show musicians because it's inspiring.
But what if I told you that this is their 3rd best instrumental? :)
"Don't be long" is the B-Side for the single Different, and "from now on" is the opening track from the new EP Unleash. In particular, "from now on" is one of the more amazing pieces of music I've heard recently. I think you'll love it.
Looks like we need to get you "Freedom" (live), "Puzzle" (live and acoustic), "Daydreaming" (M/V), "Moratorium" (live), and "Real Existence" (live) to round out your older Band Maid education. Then "Warning" (M/V), "Black Hole" (live), "No God" (live), "Sense" (M/V), "Unleash" (M/V), and "Influencer" (M/V) to get you caught up with new stuff... so lots to look forward to. :)
Members of the community can help you with anything not on UA-cam if you give a place to reach out to you.
Also the instrumental version of Giovanni is absolute perfection.
Onset is the best.
The instrumental on the new ep From Now On is even better than this and that's saying something.
this song is played when Saiki has to go pee pee ..
You should react to without holding back. A much better instrumental than onset
Disagree.
Onset has a completely different vibe to their other instrumentals. I've heard many people said FNO is the true instrumental, but I can imagine Saiki's vocal over it easily while with onset, I can't.
It has to be Kanami's guitar doing the melody / chorus part.
I personally think all their recent instrumentals are kind of similar, although much more technical for sure.
@@lurkmerchant
Technical but boring.
Just like almost all of their newer music since Different.
No soul.
You mentioned a few things. 1: The force Akane uses. For a perfect example of that in action. Check out the Official MV for "Secret My Lips". You can find it on their channel. And god...I felt for that snare. She was beating it like it owed her money! At certain spots the force generated was lifting her off the chair. 2: As far as blind/dark conditions. The girls actually train for that. There is footage of them practicing blindfolded.
