Saw them in Chicago 22, was amazing. I have been to so many shows since my 1st in 1985 but none have ever had as positive a vibe. Band to crowd, crowd to crowd, just epic.
A quick intro to the band, it's time you got to know them! Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, really into horses and horse racing. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. Has the energy of an average nuclear power station mixed with weapons grade cuteness. A comedian onstage - literally! She is the heart and soul of the band. Saiki Atsumi "The Ice Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. The youngest member at 30. Into train spotting and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, into doing her nails and is a fashion icon. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs. Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" but usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say: "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cakes, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement. Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA. She also plays trombone! MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (and a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.
Band-Maid toured the US in 2022 and 2023 they played mostly mid and small size venues . They sold out most of the shows and also played at Lollapalooza and Rockville at the Daytona Speedway in 2023 ! Another great live performance is "Real Existence" Official Live ! Thanks and Nice Reaction !
Kanami is the guitarist and songwriter. Miku and Saiki are the lyricists. Yes, they tour the US more than anywhere else outside of Japan, much to the chagrin of the rest of the world.
They've come to the states a couple of times in the last few years. You never know, while Europe and elsewhere will probably get their turn next year, they may slip in a few US gigs. (please please)
Thanks Roger! BAND MAID is: Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) - rhythm guitar, vocals, PR (Band founder, lyricist ... our flappy pigeon, po!) Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) - lead guitar (musical composer extraordinaire - the princess) Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) - drums, percussion (see bananas ... and ramen - the gorilla) Misa - bass guitar (drinks hard liquor and performs without shoes on stage - the barefoot assassin) Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) - lead vocals ("we dance in the palm of her hand" - Domination - The Queen)
Welcome aboard. As you have seen,we Maidiacs are avid supporters. Daily,I look for new reactions to their music.

@@GasReacts The most logical step besides more Band Maid would be three sisters from Mexico, The Warning. Checkout there official mv for ‘Evolve’ and tell them the Maidiacs sent you. 🍺🥴🤘🏻🕊️
What a gift Roger has given you, the Maids are the top tier of the top tier, incredibly talented and creative, absolute monsters live and yet humble and grateful to their fans. Absolute Goddesses, enjoy your B-M journey my friend, cheers from Australia 👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
Roger has a better method of finding smaller / new reaction channel than I do. I get there first sometimes, but not usually! So as you like Band Maid there is a good chance you will enjoy slotting some of these in between Band Maid reactions :D All Japanese, all metal / rock. all women or women fronted.

@@Bekka_Noyb I'm jealous too. That is perhaps the most unique one to date. Yokohama is the only one for me yet. Hopefully they will come to Europe soon so I can get a few more.
@@GasReacts It was the best concert I've ever been to. 3.5 hours has never been so short. The world's best band on stage, fantastic crowd and lots of emotions. The only downside was that I didn't understand what they were saying. (have seen it with subtitles afterwards) But it was the whole day that made it a great experience. Meeting with other Maidiacs and familiar faces from YT with whom I am still in contact. Ryan M told me beforehand that a day in the Band-Maid queue is a day you make new friends. He was right. Never experienced that with other bands.

Hate? Band-Maid. Love! Thx, Gas!
I’ve seen them twice in Chicago in 22 and 23. They could be back again as soon as next year.
Lead guitar…Kanami Tōno aka Mincho, for me..the greatest musician and composer of our time 🔥❤️ Band-Maid forever 🔥❤️
Yes they tour the U S they were here 2019 , 2022 and 2023 , Pick any song , Live or MV BAND-MAID will not Disappoint .
Still suggesting Bubble & Manners from their official channel. Also Take Me Higher & Turn Me On from NekoAngel channel
The talent is amazing.
More drums and guitar battles in Domination live 2020 and Dont You Tell Me at Yokohama Arena. Live, these girls will never let you down, ever!
No battles with Band-Maid, They are to nice. They have conversations. PO😉
Kanami is the guitarist and songwriter. Miku and Saiki are the lyricists. Yes, they tour the US more than anywhere else outside of Japan, much to the chagrin of the rest of the world.
Thank you Dan!
Not battling, a conversation.
They've come to the states a couple of times in the last few years. You never know, while Europe and elsewhere will probably get their turn next year, they may slip in a few US gigs. (please please)
The only thing better than listening to Band Maid🎀, is watching them as they play!😻Especialy Saiki!!!
This is a straight up ass kicking hard Rock song.
The best hard rock band around! MISA (bass) is majestic!
She truly is amazing
Unfortunately you just missed out. They played three tours in the US during 2022 and 2023. We are all waiting for a tour of Europe right now.
Cheers for Roger!🍻
🍺😁
I've seen Band-Maid in the states 3 times. They've done a few US Tours and there will be more!
Awesome! Hopefully they come my way!
Guitarist is Kanami Tono, a.e. Mincho, aka MinchoZilla

In fact, their very first overseas performance was in 2016, right here in Seattle. :)
I thought the first one was in Mexico?
@@bocatampere Mexico was their first one-man. Seattle was an appearance at Sakura Con, so not a one-man but still their first overseas show.
@@jjo154 👍 Thanks for info 🙏🏻
@@bocatampere De nada. 😁
💜💛❤💙💚
3.5 hours, 33 song setlist (this was#27) Best part? I was there😁
*jealous* - to be fair I was at their joint show with The Warning back in June

@sugaanessena3143 That sounds so memorable. Thank you for sharing that with me! 🙏
MISA is the tallest one, but she's still only 5'7". Kanami is lead guitar. And yes, they play The States. I've been twice.
She plays that speedboat of a bass guitar!
In Japan, rock is mainstream music. What is called J-pop is actually made up of "pop rock", rock, metal and a special style - Visual Key.
