They even changed their own names for Band-Maiko: Miku Kobato→Hatoko Saiki→Fujiki KANAMI→Kanoemi MISA→Umemisa AKANE→Akatsuki I just love this band, they are so much fun!
WHAAAT! You mean they're one & the same? And all this time I've chuckled to myself thinking this band that looks like B-M even have a song that's like "Secret my lips":)
Ok, if you do not know, this is done every year on April Fool's Day. They did not do it this year because of Covid. This is their 'rival' band, Band-Maiko. This version the lyrics are in the Maiko dialect. Band-Maiko has a mini-album. It. Is. Fantastic. (Also, an inside joke is that Akane is always eating) (What Miko is writing in the beginning is 'World Domination')
The Maiko dialect is called the Kansai dialect and is the native dialect of Akane, Saiki and maybe MISA,. They all generally speak regular Japanese normally, but Akane sometimes slips to Kansai when she’s excited.
BAND-MAID serving their *Masters and Princesses* since 2013 🐦 2013 - 17 Shows 🐦 2014 - 67 Shows, *Maid in Japan Released January 8, 2014* 🐦 2015 - 61 Shows, *New Beginning Released November 18, 2015* 🐦 2016 - 101 Shows, *Brand New Maid Released May 18, 2016* 🐦 2017 - 55 Shows, *Just Bring It Released January 11, 2017, Saiki had throat surgery* 🐦 2018 - 49 Shows, *World Domination Released February 14, 2018* 🐦 2019 - 42 Shows, *Conqueror Released December 4, 2019* 5:47 _(Don't Be Discouraged Practice Makes Perfect)_ Always look for the bright side of life. 😊 *BAND-MAID* first album was supposed to be labeled *Masters and Princesses* but they were worried it sounded too much like Metallica Master of Puppets.
MISA! MISA! MISA! A Maiko is a Geisha (an artisan dedicated to traditional arts and culture) "in training". A full Geisha is called a Geiko. This song was sung in the older dialect of Kansai common to Kyoto and Osaka but more specifically the Kyoto variation used by the Geisha. They have their own way of turning a phrase. Miku said converting the lyrics from the original "Secret My Lips" was "very difficult". Kyoto is known as Geisha central and was home to the Emperor for over a thousand years and thus the capital until the mid 1800's. Band Maid forced heads to turn towards the older traditions and it was a good thing!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
I love MISA's howl. When they were asked about a live performance, they said the robes were too restrictive and hot. They are are so beautiful in the robes and the makeup.
BAND-MAIKO is such a great band. I know there isn’t opening acts in Japan, but I hope that one day, BAND-MAIKO let BAND-MAID opening the show for them. And even share the stage for one song
Kanami's, (lead), computer plays the "Shamisen" plus everthing else she added to the track. She really is a GENIUS composer just like Tuomas ..... Miku may have formed the Best Rock Band at the minute but Kanami wrote the music :) (apart from the first two songs and Blooming) Who gives a f..k really they are collectively as you would say THA' BEST :)
That is Misa holding the Shamisen, I don't think she knows how to play it though as it is quite difficult to play and takes yrs to master. It was most likely added in a separate recorded track and added in production, not to take anything away from them in any way. Probably the best player in Japan playing in a modern fusion group would be Beni from Wagakki Band, she is a master of that instrument, regardless I loved the change of look for this video.
I don't know what the Band-Maid are cooking right now but I think we will taste some delights in 2021. I think Miku is a very determined girl, she said in an interview, while Saiki gasped without a voice, that she had created Band-Maid to rule the world, she wants Band-Maid to become the biggest and most famous band in the world, I think that Miku has a very hard head and maybe she can even do it.
I hope the show at Budokan is not postponed because of the freaking virus and they can deliver a Mega Heavy Show of 2 hours or more with acoustic moments in the middle, Kanami going crazy in some extended solo and duelling with MISA, Akane being Akane and the One and Only Saiki delivering like no one ... as for Miku... I have the secret desire to be surprised by a full guitar solo at some point but there's no rush, Miku is the reason why we all have Band-Maid in the first place. Anyway, first thing's first: New Single and New Album - Another step towards World Domination!!
I have come to the conclusion that Band Maid can do anything! Can't wait for the new single and album! The single "Different" 12/2 and album in January! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
1:08 and 3:27 The howling is actually MISA's voice. And her instrument that looks like a banjo is a Shamisen. But you can hear some other Japanese instrument in the background. The Koto in front of Kanami, the Tsuzumi in Akanes hands and the Shakuhachi in Miku's hands. All can be seen at 1:12
You're correct video wise, but did you know Band Maiko actually has 7 songs on CD? 1.secret MAIKO lips 2.Tora and Tora 3.YOSOSIOU 4.ansan 5.Akasimahen 6.Screaming 7.Gionmachi
@@falkarios2944 I do :) (I'm a Maidiac. I'm in their fan club and a bit obsessive. I own just a couple of their CDs, but I have the Apple playlist with every last song on it (It's about 5 hours, great for long drives :) I love the Maiko and was very said that the Covid ruined their chance at an appearance this year. I'm assuming it was covid.)
In Kyoto(not Tokyo..), the ancient capital of Japan, MAIKO were girls whose job was to add entertainment to banquets with dance and musical performances. It's originated about 300 years ago, and the girls working in cafes at that time began to perform shamisen, three-stringed traditional instrument, and dance. Even today, they are still active in Kyoto districts under the strictest traditions. Now, I think you got understand why they play as Maiko. It's very similar concept as BAND-MAID, isn't it?
Band MAIKO is the first Japanese all ladies band that play modern instruments(minus the Shamisen and Koto)with their fully equipped KIMONO attires, pls correct me if I'm wrong. These ladies are ahead of their time, not just cute and beautiful but they're brilliant! Another good reactions dude 👍😀👍
This version is better than the original. Released in 2018 as an April Fool's joke. In April 2019 then "Gion-cho" - I think it's even better. Also found on the Band Maid official website. Great but both songs.
MISA MISA MISA! most people get the Shamisen (3 string Banjo type), Taiko (Drum) and the Koto (13 stringed instrument) but all the way weaving thru is the Hichiriki (Flute type instrument)
I love this version more than I already love the original. The addition of traditional instruments and also the singing in the Kyoto dialect makes it even more interesting for me to listen to and gives the song, I think, a bit more personality. They have another video in their repertoire as "Band-Maiko" with the title "祇園町" (Gion-cho)". And unlike 'Secret Maiko Lips' it's an original and not a cover of one of their regular songs. 😉🤘🏻
Another reactor, after watching Onset and with his mouth hanging open in awe put it like this, "It must be so weird to be in a band that is physically incapable of sucking." Perfect.
OK, just got to the end of it... Now, the ONE thing to do at this point is TWO things: 1- React to the original song "Secret My Lips" - ua-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/v-deo.html (watch a much much more savage Akane without these tradition heavy clothes just going nuts as usual) and 2- React to the Other BAND-MAIKO MC "Gion-Cho" (the only original song from this mini album) - ua-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/v-deo.html (again... Akane eating while the others drink tea...) Thank you @Mr. Rock N Roll ... it's always so great to watch your reactions... and I can't wait for the new Band-Maid single in December... and subsequent album in January... They are the best... 3- React to "Daydreaming" - ua-cam.com/video/RCaeUkrItyY/v-deo.html (yes, it's a "ballad", but it's too good...it's so good, it's so so so so freaking good... Kanami 😍 delivers inspiration...)
The North/ Northwestern Europeans may have a boat load of awesome metal bands, Vikings and Nightwish which makes them Great, especially due to Nightwish, but the Japanese are just as great with their anime and bands like this. Kind of creates a balance of 2 Awesome poles... “Perfectly balanced as all things should be “ :)
Saiki and Kanami throwing down a jazz bar 6:11 just to flex on us all. Saiki singing and Kanami playing a full on Jazz composition would be spectacular.
If you're looking for a new band to react to, then check out Asterism. They are an up and coming Japanese metal/rock band. I don't want to say anything more about them because it may influence your reaction. I recommend their music video Rising Moon MV (AL "The Session Vol 2".
You should see Akane now. Her hair is longer and she either dyed it darker, or let her natural color come out. Either way, she looks even more lovely now. MISA went and got a perm, Saiki let her hair grow out even longer now, Miku is...well...still Miku and still stunning, and Kaname is maintaining that girlish cuteness along with that girl-crush on Saiki. :)
hahaha.. such a "late April fool" but those sound couldn't fool you though, finally you get into this video, Mr. Rock N Roll. FYI, actually this BAND-MAIKO part more like a "counter part" to honor the traditional side of Japan, in this case is Kyoto (the 'opposite' of Tokyo), this also the reason why they mixed the traditional music instrument sounds. maybe if you want to get deeper into this "phenomenal April fool", actually you gonna find out that these ladies are freaking awesome, I'd say especially Miku because she changed the lyrics by honoring/using the Kyoto dialect and word choices, IMHO, THIS IS INSANE!!! also some scenes in this video there are some kind of easter-eggs to show the "alter ego" of each member though. anyway, I'm not sure what you meant around 3:50, but just to make it clear, I see it more like the power ranger formation, or in this case the power geisha, based on your screen/video at 3:50 the formation is (left-to-right): - black geisha: MISA (who "altered" to do all the howling part and play the shamisen) - purple geisha: Akane - red geisha: Miku (it seems the color is based on the rose she wears) - blue geisha: Saiki (it seems the color is based on the rose she wears) - orange/pink geisha: Kanami (in front of her is the koto) please also check the BAN-MAIKO "original track": *Gion-cho* [ ua-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/v-deo.html ]
Whats up Mr. Rock N Roll!!! I been watching some of your reaction videos and I just subscribed to your channel. Love the content man🤟🏽. Anyway, you should do a video reaction of The Warning. They are an independent rock band from Mexico 🇲🇽. I am sure you ll be amazed by their music 🙌🏼
the one on the left be MisaMisa ;) she's air guitaring the shamisen :D Akane is playing with a ko-taiko(hand drum). Miku has a fue/flute. Kanami on the right is in front of the koto/japanese harp.
I think i remember a comment of a japanese fan that explained Kanami added the traditionnal instrument with the help of synthe and re-recorded the song with a sound enngineer. Even for a April Fool's Day, they did the best they can. A+ Cette année Nöel tombe le 20 janvier (2021).
Band maiko was an April fools joke that turned into an album from what I read. I actually like this version of the song better then the original with traditional instruments mixed in.
yes one of my fav i thought there was two versions a traditional vid one with traditional instruments and one with electric normal stuff maybe not it was a while back it was an april fools thing oh well gonna have to check it out c-ya
Here is a regular LIVE video of this song. I think you might enjoy the flashes of AKANE banging her drums away in this video. ua-cam.com/video/1Vuca7V-5Ec/v-deo.html
I´m so impressed by all these fine japanese ladies making fantastic music. band-maiko are awesome too. with passion and enthusiasm. another fine example is miyakos (lovebites) former band "a Drop of joker - beat maker" raw passionate, even growling, but very catchy too. check it out.
If you haven't seen “Alone” by BAND-MAID yet, you should definitely check it out. AKANE’s drumming and KANAMI’s guitar solo on this song are my favorite. I've really enjoyed your reactions every time,thank you.
Fun fact: Even though "Secret Maiko Lips" was dropped a year after the original "Secret My Lips" on UA-cam, it has 1 million more views. That means potentially 1m people have violated the Rick Rule. Where is Rick Wagner these days? Has anybody seen him over in the Babymetal reactions?
Speaking of Japanese rock. I can't believe nobody has suggested Ningen Isu yet. So I guess, I'll be first: NINGEN ISU - Heartless Scat Please, it's really worth it.
If you are interested, a mini band-maiko album exist on itune, spotify etc. I listen to it everyday and it's great. Mr rock'n roll, next band-maiko video to view, Gion-chio ????
MISA!!!! MISA!!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!! I mean Umemisa!!!!! Umemisa!!!!! Umemisa!!!!! I can't believe you haven't reacted to this song already Mr. R 'n R. Your fan Akane would not like that, lol
you should listen to Passcode they are a kawaii metal group, like babymetal for your first song it should be Tonight, you will see why ua-cam.com/video/KMVVp7VdIHM/v-deo.html Miss Unlimited seems to be their most well known song in the west ua-cam.com/video/TN6ntMBYAOU/v-deo.html Starry Sky was number one on charts over here ua-cam.com/video/LXbj24ujanM/v-deo.html Taking You Out is my favorite ua-cam.com/video/Wmt86RKEkuY/v-deo.html Anything New is their newest single ua-cam.com/video/B1U3e0_WPds/v-deo.html Once you're a fan It's You will make you love them ua-cam.com/video/D771ZSI_ndo/v-deo.html
Secret My Lips, is one of my favourite Band Maid songs, so it was great when they released this version on April 1st. You have reacted to one, Wagakki Band songs, so I recommend you try another song from them to get another mix of traditional Japanese instruments and rock. Here is the link to Yoshiwara Lament: ua-cam.com/video/DD6LHfm5AZY/v-deo.html
go here and react....if you can ua-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/v-deo.html In this video there is also a small thing, at the time 2.45 - 2.47 Saiki is in front of Akane, Akane starts making faces as usual if you pay attention you can hear Saiki laugh while singing, they have fun a lot in concerts.
The full Maiko costume weighs around 45 lbs and if it is the real thing is valued at around $30,000 or more. Kanami added the shamisen and other traditional instruments electronically at production - she is much more technically skilled than her interview persona - check out her PRS demos and Morley effects pedals video. I gather the weight of the costumes exhausted them making this video which is why they won't use them on stage. What a wonderful, beautiful set of brilliant musicians.
Although this video is a parody of "Secret My Lips", I laugh at the usual direct reaction. Did you notice the howl of MISA with the shamisen from 3:28 to 3:30?
ok some things I REALLY want u to see from Nanowar Of Steel: Vegan Velociraptor The Call of Cthulu and ofc Valhalleluja and I would love to see your reaction to: The unicorn invasion of Dundee - Gloryhammer
as usual very good react!! the second one is gio-cho from band maiko. you have to try wonderland by band maid it's ...your next favorite. after waggaki band in bring me to my life. and please react to nemophila covering ac/dc and trident with voltage and continue thank you man
It's pronounced (My-Ko). It's a play on words. A maiko is an apprentice geisha. So, 'Secret My Lips' becomes 'Secret Maiko Lips'. The instrument you thinking of is called a Shamisen.

I guess the next BAND-MAIKO reaction will be "Gion-cho". In my opinion, it's even better than "secret MAIKO lips". Great reaction Mr. Rock N Roll!!

fun fact: this song came up on my spotify one day and was my introduction to the band. i didn't even know they were actually band-maid for like 3 days
Yes I was hoping you would get to this one. You gotta see Bubble that video is damn good and the song of course.
♥ Bubble
1:08 and 3:27 The howling is actually MISA's voice. And her instrument that looks like a banjo is a Shamisen.
But you can hear some other Japanese instrument in the background. The Koto in front of Kanami,
the Tsuzumi in Akanes hands and the Shakuhachi in Miku's hands. All can be seen at 1:12
These girls must have some mysterious power within them.
I love when they all pause, save Akane who dtarts digging in her noodles

FYI, actually this BAND-MAIKO part more like a "counter part" to honor the traditional side of Japan, in this case is Kyoto (the 'opposite' of Tokyo), this also the reason why they mixed the traditional music instrument sounds. maybe if you want to get deeper into this "phenomenal April fool", actually you gonna find out that these ladies are freaking awesome, I'd say especially Miku because she changed the lyrics by honoring/using the Kyoto dialect and word choices, IMHO, THIS IS INSANE!!!
also some scenes in this video there are some kind of easter-eggs to show the "alter ego" of each member though. anyway, I'm not sure what you meant around 3:50, but just to make it clear, I see it more like the power ranger formation, or in this case the power geisha, based on your screen/video at 3:50 the formation is (left-to-right):
- black geisha: MISA (who "altered" to do all the howling part and play the shamisen)
- purple geisha: Akane
- red geisha: Miku (it seems the color is based on the rose she wears)
- blue geisha: Saiki (it seems the color is based on the rose she wears)
- orange/pink geisha: Kanami (in front of her is the koto)
please also check the BAN-MAIKO "original track": *Gion-cho* [ ua-cam.com/video/umSt7oMUMcs/v-deo.html ]
Whats up Mr. Rock N Roll!!! I been watching some of your reaction videos and I just subscribed to your channel. Love the content man🤟🏽. Anyway, you should do a video reaction of The Warning. They are an independent rock band from Mexico 🇲🇽. I am sure you ll be amazed by their music 🙌🏼
the one on the left be MisaMisa ;) she's air guitaring the shamisen :D Akane is playing with a ko-taiko(hand drum). Miku has a fue/flute. Kanami on the right is in front of the koto/japanese harp.
I think i remember a comment of a japanese fan that explained Kanami added the traditionnal instrument with the help of synthe and re-recorded the song with a sound enngineer.
Even for a April Fool's Day, they did the best they can.
A+
Cette année Nöel tombe le 20 janvier (2021).
Band maiko was an April fools joke that turned into an album from what I read. I actually like this version of the song better then the original with traditional instruments mixed in.
Love Misa doing her wolf howl.
yes one of my fav i thought there was two versions a traditional vid one with traditional instruments and one with electric normal stuff maybe not it was a while back it was an april fools thing oh well gonna have to check it out c-ya
Here is a regular LIVE video of this song. I think you might enjoy the flashes of AKANE banging her drums away in this video.

There's no live sound, it's the studio audio.
Just to add its titled Epic Tsugaru Shamison I think you'll love it!!
I´m so impressed by all these fine japanese ladies making fantastic music. band-maiko are awesome too. with passion and enthusiasm. another fine example is miyakos (lovebites) former band "a Drop of joker - beat maker" raw passionate, even growling, but very catchy too. check it out.
Love it. Hey,a maiko is an apprentice geisha. You pronounce it "my-ko." This alter ego band started as an April fool's joke.
If you haven't seen “Alone” by BAND-MAID yet, you should definitely check it out. AKANE’s drumming and KANAMI’s guitar solo on this song are my favorite.
I've really enjoyed your reactions every time,thank you.
Love this song, love this band, they are truly amazing. Check out Band-Maiko's song Gion-Cho as well, it's just as heart wrenchingly awesome.
Fun fact: Even though "Secret Maiko Lips" was dropped a year after the original "Secret My Lips" on UA-cam, it has 1 million more views. That means potentially 1m people have violated the Rick Rule. Where is Rick Wagner these days? Has anybody seen him over in the Babymetal reactions?
Ｗｏｗ，，，，楽しそうです
和楽器バンドの影響で、和風になりました、、
誰が三味線を弾いてるのだろう？？
If you want to see some awesome shamisen playing, check out The Yoshida Brothers. Rock shamisen to the max! Rising is one of my favs by them!
Gioncho is band maiko original song, everything else they're covering band maid song and turn it into maiko style 😁
If I'm not mistaken, Kanami writes the Wagakki parts and samples them.
Think you should check out their song Bubble. It's one of my faves and is incredibly catchy
Speaking of Japanese rock. I can't believe nobody has suggested Ningen Isu yet. So I guess, I'll be first:
NINGEN ISU - Heartless Scat
Please, it's really worth it.
If you are interested, a mini band-maiko album exist on itune, spotify etc. I listen to it everyday and it's great. Mr rock'n roll, next band-maiko video to view, Gion-chio ????
MISA!!!! MISA!!!!!!! MISA!!!!!!!! I mean Umemisa!!!!! Umemisa!!!!! Umemisa!!!!! I can't believe you haven't reacted to this song already Mr. R 'n R. Your fan Akane would not like that, lol
you should listen to Passcode they are a kawaii metal group, like babymetal
for your first song it should be Tonight, you will see why ua-cam.com/video/KMVVp7VdIHM/v-deo.html
Miss Unlimited seems to be their most well known song in the west ua-cam.com/video/TN6ntMBYAOU/v-deo.html
Starry Sky was number one on charts over here ua-cam.com/video/LXbj24ujanM/v-deo.html
Taking You Out is my favorite ua-cam.com/video/Wmt86RKEkuY/v-deo.html
Anything New is their newest single ua-cam.com/video/B1U3e0_WPds/v-deo.html
Once you're a fan It's You will make you love them ua-cam.com/video/D771ZSI_ndo/v-deo.html
You need to listen and watch MIKU's PEACE AND LOVE. ITS MIKU!!!!!
about time!
How about another all-female band, but louder, faster and funnier? Otoboke Beaver "Don't light my fire"
agree there is one more BANDMAIKO song begins with a G_______.
Secret My Lips, is one of my favourite Band Maid songs, so it was great when they released this version on April 1st. You have reacted to one, Wagakki Band songs, so I recommend you try another song from them to get another mix of traditional Japanese instruments and rock. Here is the link to Yoshiwara Lament: ua-cam.com/video/DD6LHfm5AZY/v-deo.html
go here and react....if you can ua-cam.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/v-deo.html
In this video there is also a small thing, at the time 2.45 - 2.47 Saiki is in front of Akane, Akane starts making faces as usual if you pay attention you can hear Saiki laugh while singing, they have fun a lot in concerts.
Please do NEMOPHILA - RAITEI!
So akane is renowned for her appetite and she ain't waiting on anyone starts slamming her noodles
yes they are good at everything BM4EVER.
Tsugaru Shamisen is the instrument check out the WagakkiBand Beni Nicagower she is beautiful and an amazing player
FINALLLYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Shamisen. Japanese style guitar. BandMaid is the band name.
Excellent!. Good job!
The full Maiko costume weighs around 45 lbs and if it is the real thing is valued at around $30,000 or more. Kanami added the shamisen and other traditional instruments electronically at production - she is much more technically skilled than her interview persona - check out her PRS demos and Morley effects pedals video. I gather the weight of the costumes exhausted them making this video which is why they won't use them on stage. What a wonderful, beautiful set of brilliant musicians.
Although this video is a parody of "Secret My Lips", I laugh at the usual direct reaction. Did you notice the howl of MISA with the shamisen from 3:28 to 3:30?
If anyone noticed, the solo in this song is the same structure as the solo in domination
Akane's drums blows me away in every song. Could almost make an argument for worlds best but there's this 11 year old holding the title. Sos Japanese.
You probably need to check out Doll$boxx. You should start with "Take My Chance" or "Shout Down".
ok some things I REALLY want u to see from Nanowar Of Steel:
Vegan Velociraptor
The Call of Cthulu
and ofc Valhalleluja
and I would love to see your reaction to:
The unicorn invasion of Dundee - Gloryhammer
...URANUS!!!
I know own all their albums (until the new one comes out)never disappointed.
@Mr. Rock and Roll, you should react to Gion-cho next!
think instrument is SHAMISEN - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamisen
Next react to Lovebites - Raise Some Hell
It's more Rock N Roll
as usual very good react!! the second one is gio-cho from band maiko. you have to try wonderland by band maid it's ...your next favorite. after waggaki band in bring me to my life.
and please react to nemophila covering ac/dc and trident with voltage and continue thank you man
If you get some free time please check out another Japanese girl fronted band called brats try kimarigoto or doudatte yokatta to start with
It's pronounced (My-Ko). It's a play on words. A maiko is an apprentice geisha. So, 'Secret My Lips' becomes 'Secret Maiko Lips'. The instrument you thinking of is called a Shamisen.
