      @@L33Reacts Oh! On UA-cam? Previously, it was removed quite quickly each time somebody would upload it. Maybe the label decided to relax and let people enjoy it. Reactions usually are fine, but if someone would post the entire show, it was always blocked.
      Anyway, thanks a lot for reacting to it! Seeing the Maids live is always an unforgettable experience!
      Also, they are so young here... It was their fifth year, and now they celebrated their 10th Anniversary... Time flies!

    I really wish they would bring back the Maid Waltz. Even if it is just a lead in to whichever new intro Kanami wrote. I think it lends majesty to their entrance.
    And this was I think 7 or 8 months after Saiki's throat surgery, so her voice while much better still isn't 100%. Even at Line Cube Shibuya, which was 2 and half years later, Saiki is only about 90-95%. How she is now is just flat out amazing.
    At TGT and Yokohama, my Creator, is her voice reaching into heaven with angelic status.
    Comparing Miku from how she is here at Zepp, to Yokohama, she has gone from a rank 80 to a rank 40-50 rhythm guitarist. She has been doing some leads, including her own special lead intro solo to Influencer which you MUST see to Love.
    And All of the Ladies, from Akane, to MISA to Kanami, Miku and Saiki, are constantly striving to improve themselves as individuals and as performers.
    And it was a few months after this performance that the Ladies banned crowd surfing at their shows, after a crowd surfer kicked Miku's mic stand which struck her in the face.
    You still keep mixing Miku and Kanami up 😛 Right side of the stage with PRS is Kanami, center left with Zemaitis is Miku.
    Until I think late 2019 early 2020, the Ladies didn't have a full crew. They traveled mostly with 2 guitar techs, their manager, and a sound guy. Akane controlled the click and backing tracks with her laptop and a set of triggers on her drum kit. The guitar techs also set up and mic'd their amps and Akane's kit. I think I have the photo of the Ladies as they showed up for a show, where Saiki had driven the van and Kanami drove a car. There was the Ladies and 4 other people, maybe 5 being the person who took the photo. But for several years, the Ladies did the vast majority of their set up and tear down themselves, with a couple of techs and their manager. The longest serving person of the crew is Kanami's guitar tech Daisuke Kondo or as I call him Dai-San. Dai-San and another tech introduced Kanami to PRS guitars, and for over a year Kanami used one of Dai-San's personal guitars the "Violet Burst" purple PRS, until she bought one for herself.
    And you heard one of the better version of Moratorium. Studio Coast's version is considered to be better. Although Kanami nodding and smiling to someone in the audience I think is really nice.
    But back to Akane controlling the click and backing track. You mentioned how they were driving on without a pause. They would do 3-5 songs, pause while Miku would pump up the crowd while Akane was on the laptop setting up the next 3-5 songs. She would then hit the trigger behind her high hat to start the click and backing track, do a count in on her high hat, and they would launch into the next songs. There have been a few times where Saiki has called an audible and changed the setlist during a performance, they will normally do a pause, while the tracks are adjusted, then they would launch in.
    At Houston last may, the Ladies performed for almost 3 hours, even though the Promoter pushed an open act which was a completely different style on them. The Ladies still killed it.
    As for the start and stop, the Ladies practice CONSTANTLY. And they know how to properly use a click track. And as many people have said, Akane basically has an atomic clock/metronome in her head, even though she is bad at multiplication tables.
    Kanami doesn't sing as much some people think during live performances. She MISA and Akane do sing for the backing track, but live they find it too difficult sing and play their instruments.
    And if you can find it, there IS a really good 30 minute performance taken from their Akasaka Blitz Pre-Release party, you can hear just how Saiki's voice sounded like before her surgery, however her voice was only at 70-80% during that performance.

    Ah, the old Band-Maid Waltz intro- just love it. Along with Studio Cast 2017 their two best live DVDs. Your last song was Cross from the Just Bring It album 2017. Very simply- In mid 2013 Miku decided she wanted to form a rock band. She found Kanami online singing and playing the guitar. Kanami sometimes used Akane as a backing drummer and suggested her. Akane knew Misa from music school in Tokyo and suggested her. The last to join was Saiki, because Miku decided that she needed an additional vocalist. Their fist show took place on 22 Aug 2013.
