I just watched this video for the first time. All I can say is OH MY GOSH. There are probably many amazing musicians out there with plenty of talent and potential, but they simply lack the opportunity and remain unknown to the world. When I think about it, the fact that those five MAIDs met and became what they are today is nothing short of a miracle. It's chilling to think about the greater likelihood that it might not have happened... 😖
Yeah, you nailed it. It is part of why I love these Japanese bands… they’re basically the talented band kids you remember from school, but you knew they could never be more than a HS music teacher.
I am surprised MISA had doubts and trouble about the maid costume, while she dressed and looked like THIS here xD I am so glad they formed Band-Maid though ♥
I hope you don't lose your channel for this! The company who owns the rights should be happy because I'm pretty sure the only reason anyone in the word is listening to this song now is to see what Misa and Akane were doing. Could you just upload the video on a different account? What's Becky doing these days? She seems to have been relatively famous. But I'd love to see Ohrenje get an interview with her 😆
Becky has been a television personality since she was 14 years old. Her father is English and her mother is Japanese. Her younger sister is a dancer and worked as a back-up dancer for Katy Perry. She is one of the most famous female celebrities in Japan and has hosted popular TV shows. Although singing is not her main occupation, this 2012 song was a moderate hit. Her life was smooth sailing, but that all changed in 2016. She had an affair with the vocalist of the rock band Gesu no Kyokumi-Otome (English name: Lowest Lowest Girl). Her image was tarnished when her social networking site was exposed as a meeting to tell lies at a press conference about this. She later married another man and has recently started appearing on TV again.
@@okehazama OK. Thanks for these informations. I have nothing against Becky but I didn't consider her in this video to be a good singer. I'm glad her troubles are over.
Too bad you can tell this is all 100% playback Misa is absolutely NOT playing at 1:54...but you can hear a bass line being played, and Akane's drums are not mic'd up at all.
It's a shame that Becky's career got completely side-tracked by her having a relationship with a married man, despite the fact that the man and his wife never went public with the marriage. He was also in the entertainment industry, and up until the scandal with Becky broke, he referred to his wife as a "friend." The dude, Kawatani Enon, even took Becky to meet his parents while secretly married. I haven't seen anything that confirms whether or not Becky knew he was married, but her career pretty much dried up after the event. Before that, she was popular TV personality and actress.
@@johnmatthew102 Becky is not an idol or a singer. She is just a half-British, half-Japanese celebrity who was active as a child actress and appeared on a variety show. She has no talent, but she hosted a variety show and sang because she is a famous celebrity. She sings badly because she is not a singer. Misa, Akane, and another person were sent by the production company who wrote the song at the request of Becky's talent agency. So they did not form a band.
This is fun. I keep wanting the camera to pan over to Misa and Akane lol. Glad they found Band-Maid and could blossom into what they are today.
Those beehive-style hairdos are the perfect place to hide hip flasks and bananas!
I always thought, the tiny hat was under her hairstyle.

Misa was probably thinking i want to smoke these lot with a badass bass solo and my buddy Akane keeping the beat for me

Thank God Kanami came along.
You can say that again
Amen to that.
I'd say Miku who recruited Kanami, who brought in Akane and MISA...
Japan public access has some high production quality!!
They don't look like they're having fun. Glad they switched to the Band-Maid genre for all of our sake.
They all looked highly motivated and happy. Audience, Rythm-Section and especially the singer.
this reminds me of another song... Love and Passion Matador
Although Love and Passion Matador is the superior song with all due respect to Becky.
Band maid should dress like this at a halloween show
El momento más humilde de las chicas
この歌詞のこの曲をメジャー（だよね？）でリリース出来ることが本当にすごい。
やっぱり第一線で長くタレントやれてるような人って常識じゃ計れないメンタルなんだな。
公式MVのコメントには懐かしむ声多数。直撃世代にはヒットしたようだ
The sunglasses, the squeaky synth-pop, and the vocals all took me back to the 1980's. Shades of Debbie Gibson.🙂
Is this 1968, Top of the Pops? I'm glad Japan is catching up!
Awwww poor girls, I'm so glad they've found thier characters and power now. I bet they hated doing this crap 🤦♂️
Misa and Akane were afraid of being recognized?😎
I believe the record company did control that part. You see all girls wear the same. Except for the singer.
Thank God for Miku{ぽ}...

If you tell me Becky hasn't retired, I won't believe you.😆

Oh thats becky, the one with a scandal with the lead band member of gesu no wa, thats why she looks familiar.
MISAがステージでお酒を飲む事になった原因はこの曲か…
It’s a paycheck. 🤷🏻♂️😂🎸🎼🥁
I don't dislike Beckey..but I cannot help saying "Hey, Beckey, go away! I can't see Misa and Akane!!"
I hope they get teased about the hairstyle and look. 😂

ほぼベッキーについてのコメントがないの草
あーちゃんもMISAもカボチャの馬車に乗らなくてよかった。

I remember hearing about that on social media, even though I didn't know who she was at the time. The Japanese idol scene can be very unforgiving.
