POUND LIKE for the incredible effort the girls have put into constantly pushing the limits of their music! Thanks again Matt for getting me to do this!
Kanami soloing on top of the car is the most rock GODDESS thing ever. :)
It's great that Kanami played on top of a car even tho she's scared of heights. Now she wants to do MV's strapped to the wing of a plane in flight so B-M can release "Flying High" & "Take Me Higher" but the Maids said "NO"!
The flying stunts should be left for the Pigeon 🕊!!!👍👍🤘🤘😅
@@sobabruddah7576 Haha. I agree Soba. Cars are high enough for Mincho :)
They could do it on top of My Fuji. For Take me higher.
Kanami is scared of heights?? So am I! 😂
@@GaryHolloway-810 Kanami doesn't want to...but Mincho said yes😈evil side of her"Resurrection" mode
I'm still patiently waiting for BAND-MAID to sell a Kanami hood ornament.
Let's gooo marketing team.
Get on it, already!
For a Kanami deep dive, H-G-K would be the best pick from Unseen World.
According to Kanami, it’s the hardest technical track she’s written till date. Bonus is Akane went all out on it as well.
Here’s a translation of her tweet regarding this track.
Kanami- Saiki-sensei requested for me to write a song that combines both “Alone” and “Choose Me”... how about it? I created something that was completely different. *laughter emoticon*. H-G-K probably has the most difficult guitar parts in the whole album.
Their first written composition and their best selling record to date. And still I like H_G_K better
@@maurormatos With BM's consistency, I always have a hard time picking a fav. But H-G-K stood out to me immediately despite UW being their overall best album in my books.
Forget about the amazing solo, sillky smooth transitions or the epic 2nd verse switchup, just the main riff alone is pure fire!
That said, this track is actually very easy to overlook considering its position in the middle of the album and hyped tracks (like Black hole - fastest, Manners - Groovy classic rock + MV, Giovanni - weirdest song structure yet, After life- Single + MV, Warning - Intro track + MV, Sayonakidori- Miku track, No God- Misa solo) taking a chunk of the attention away.
Also, without a headphone with good audio separation, the guitar lines in this track can sound quite muddy or noodly as some call it.
I recall reading about how Kanami went nuts layering multiple guitar lines on this.
So it's partly her fault 😅, not the mix but I'm glad she did what she did.
Coz I freaking love this track to bits
MAID MAX!!... with Kanami as Imperator Furiosa
"who are these 333 Morons?" hahahaha!!!!! Truer words were never spoken!
There's like 2 or 3 sad miserables who insist the ladies are overrated but are so obsessed that they visit every reaction to leave a thumbs-down :P
I take my hat off to Kanami for doing the scenes on the moving car despite her rather great fear of heights!
...
Since I know that there are many who don't think much of theories, I ask those to skip to the next comment at this point. 😉
...
There is a theory going around about the music video which says that it is a dig at the western music industry. And I can certainly understand the arguments.
Note the brands of the two cars, which you don't normally see in scenes like this. An American Cadi and a British Jaguar, which are representative of the music markets in their respective continents. The fact that they have been in a clinch with each other for ages is nothing new and is depicted by the race in which both are not exactly gentle with each other. And it is inevitable that there will be a big blow-up between the two markets at some point, which is represented by the explosion after the two drive straight at each other. And now look again at the scenes during the intro, which already spoil the outcome. When the dust settles after this crash, Band-Maid/Japan will still be standing and towering over the two of them, which is also shown by the later scenes of them playing on the cars or Kanami's solo... You can call me crazy if you want, but it makes a lot of sense to me and can be understood as a "Warning". :)
【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 】🕊️
you are correct in the interesting choice of vehicles. there are plenty of Japanese car makes the could have been used yet they chose 2 foreign (to them) makes of cars for the video
I have seen this theory discussed on another reaction video, and it is very interesting. You could also say that the two western cars are both black, suggesting a funeral. Perhaps what is being said in Warning is that Japanese rock is alive and thriving while UK / US rock has crashed and burnt.
In the live stream @Sergof-san commented [The "Over here, Oni-san, follow the clapping." isn't a good translation.]
It is actually not good. But may be impossible to properly translate it into English.
This part "Over here, Oni-san, follow the clapping." is exactly inherited from a song/call from a game similar to "tag" in our childhood.
In this song, it is used something near "Come and get me, I'm here". This would make more sense, but I think they followed the original lyrics.
「鬼さん、こちら手の鳴る方へ」"ONI-San, kochira te no naru hou-he"
A chosen person (becomes ONI = kind of devil) will have their eyes folded (with towels or something), the game starts when the other members start calling " ONI-San kochira-he te no naru hou-he" with hand claps. If ONI can tag someone blinded, the game is over and the person who got tagged becomes the next ONI.
Great post!. Thank you.
I was just researching this line and saw that the translation seemed way off. You saved me the trouble of finding out what it's really referring to, so thanks! Sounds like it's the Japanese version of Marco Polo.
I did some research on "oni" (鬼) in this context, too. I've often seen it translated as "ogre", but apparently it can refer to a person who is fierce and relentless. Since this song is about their efforts to break away from the control of record labels, it struck me that this could be an analogy for ambitious and greedy record execs.
If that's what the lyrics mean here, it turns the children's game into a taunting call. "Here we are, you monster. Come and get us."
Does that make sense?
@@ElfInflicted >Does that make sense?
Exactly like you said. Only it is not as aggressive as it may sound, too dangerous to run around blindfolded.
It is a game ideal for playing indoors or in limited spaces.
Thanks for "ogre", new word for me. And yes again, often referred to a villain type of person as you say
Have a nice day!!.
There's a Babymetal song based on that game - Catch Me If You Can.
Your analyses of Band-Maid are among the very few on UA-cam that are truly interesting👍. But I find it hard to believe that you still haven't heard "Black Hole". There's even a live version on their channel since recently. Akane said about this song: "After Kanami sent me the demo, my first thought was...."Now the moment has come!" 😁
Oh I’ve heard it! I watched it in my livestream Friday! I just haven’t edited it into the UA-cam video yet. Holy buckets.
@@WavePotter I have now decided to watch your live streams as well.☺ Akane's Drum Tab for Black Hole... ua-cam.com/video/pLJvq544kRQ/v-deo.html
The strength of Band-Maid lies in their songs, individual composition, and band synergy. After I hear a Band-Maid song, I feel I've been on a sonic journey of excellence. When the song's over, I've experienced a shared, emotional experience with each of the members. I leave the song with an impression of substance leaving me uplifted and satisfied. I don't get that with most groups. I do get that with Jinjer, The Warning, and a few other groups (mostly older groups like RUSH, YES, & Foo Fighters, etc.).
As for individual composition: No one plays like Akane, MISA and Kanami. Even Miku has something distinct - her in-and-out playing which adds dynamics, and her totally unique vocal parts and harmonies. Whether it's in their tones, attack (technique), setups or background (frame-of-reference) with music, they each bring to the table something undeniable and fresh.
Which brings me to band synergy: On stage, I've never heard such awesome power from a female (and most male) groups, and an interaction that's a fusion of quirkiness, fun and love for each other, their fans, and for their music.
Band-Maid is a rare, golden music group that comes around maybe once a decade or two... or three... Unless you're a casual listener that bumps into them now and then, it's really impossible to compare them with any other group. Their Fans & Maidaics know the difference from the first moments of their performance. I think if one finds any similarities with another group, like some reactors have, it's that the other groups have been influenced by Band-Maid. ;-) Thx Wave, for another great B-M reaction!
The only time I had as much fun, volume and interaction as I did at BAND-MAID was when I saw Slade many many years ago. In that long time of visiting concerts I have also experienced bands where the audience remained in silent adoration or kindly clapped and sang along after being prompted, but of course that is no comparison to these two, where there is already a huge atmosphere before the first note.
@@joki5346 At the LA event where I experienced them, it was a totally loving crowd that hung (and cheered) on every word and note. The Maids could do no wrong... and they didn't throughout their very difficult 2-hr+ setlist! I got to see them again!
Band maid - FREEZER
Kanami said that her favorite song from Unseen World was Afterlife. She wrote herself some different things for the solo she hadn't done much in the past. Just wish she could allow herself to write a longer solo sometime. Don't think anyone would complain.
No maids were hurt in this video except a deep chill. The video was shot in winter.
The '333'...let's just assume some find it tricky to hit LIKE while they're headbanging...and veer off :-))
Still my favorite Band-Maid song. That won't change until the next album.... maybe. AKANE! Saiki's vocals are exemplary. The whole fucking band!! Peace.
Kanami has said it in interviews that with each album fans will always find something that is their favourite song :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 I can't freakin wait much longer. If they can top it then there won't be a 1, 1A and 1B for my "favourite" bands of all time. Band-Maid will be all alone. Then I'll have to change my handle. Sorry about the profanity......maybe.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@jkkansasband7056 They became my fav band the first time i heard them. I don't say that lightly, it was a music epiphany. What profanity? 1 in every 1million new born babies first words are "Fuck me am i glad to get of there"....Probably.😆
@@GaryHolloway-810 LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
I knew it was gonna happen, but I have been waiting for you to do this for awhile.
check out seedragon guitars on youtube, he has a close up cover playing the parts of both Miku and Kanami
MISA MISA MISA!
I don't do social media much at all....what is discord? A lot of great drone mounted camera work.
love your reactions Wave...and onset was like 92% bud. couple flubs lol.
I'm 56, and played bass and rhythm gtr, in metal 80s bands, got to tour a bit. I know how much work you put into it and I hope Ms. Kanami, ...my Mincho hero, sees it. kudos bro.
@WavePotter There's a pretty extensive "making of..." video on Prime for this MV. There's some clever editing and scene composition here, the cars are actually going quite slow at least when band members are in the shot. IIRC somebody said you can hear that the music they're playing along to is slowed down when Misa & Akane are on the truck.
You HAVE to watch the making-of for :"After Life" if you haven't yet, though, even if it has very little to do with the actual MV.
I believe that the "making of" videos are in the Fan Club.. only the "making of Day of Maid" is in Prime as well as the Fan Club...
@@rodcarter3767 Thx for the correction!
MISA!!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Aloha or I should say Hola!!! from Tijuana, Mexico 🇲🇽 🤙🏼 🚘💥🚘🔥💥🔥🎶🎵🎶
Curtis you are in Tijuana? i was born there but live across the border in Chula Vista. Always assumed you were in Hawaii
@@frankgonzalez4853 yeah I'm waiting to cross back right now. I live in So Cal 😉 I lived in Hawaii back in 2002
still waiting for yer Bubble reaction...
I love this band. They are a very special. I hope that they last for many more years.
The comparison... a reach, I'm thinking, unless you wanted to compare it to every actions movie of the 80s, especially since the music is vastly different. Not mad about it. Your mind is not bound by convention, let's put it that way. ;-)
You are very wise crabuki. And B-M's music is vastly superior as well as vastly different :)
I heard you mention Trip Hazard, in the MV, what a great band they are well worth checking out.
Talking of intense bangers, their earlier song "the non-fiction days" has definitely a similar vein to it than this one (including the fire scenes) and a great solo.
There´s an official MV for it on their channel :-)
had to lol at the "333 morons" quote ;)
I'm pretty sure some cars got hurt filming this ;) hehe
MISA hurt her back while filming the car scene
Seriously? That sucks... thanks for the info!
Minchooooo!٩( 'ω' )و
Akane and MISA look friggin’ badass on that truck.
That heavydirtysoul music video was exactly what I thought of too. I thought I was the only one lol
I probably thought of it because TOP is also one of my favorite bands
Same! I think you may be the only other person I’ve come across that likes BAND-MAID AND tøp!
@@WavePotter Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one that had them as my 2 favorite bands, definitely a weird combo. I would say tøp for me is probably like Muse for you, really cool to know that you like tøp too though!
I laughed aloud at 'My question is, who are these 333 morons?'
Great vid as always.
Miku`s vocal input into song's like this seem to be overlooked all too often, this is a great piece if music, much like a great pizza, it's the layers of ingredients that make the whole pie, so we must enjoy all the thing's that make this great.
Please also listen to Turn Me On
B-M
FROM JAPAN(^^)
will agree with the video similarities... but this might be the first time I ever heard "Intense" and "21 Pilots" in the same sentence......
twenty one pilots puts on a pretty dang impressive show. I could use that word to describe a lot of their music!
Bro, react to another all Japanese girls Metal Band HANABIE song We Love Sweets, and plz do cover their song... :)
Next please react band from indonesia edane - living dead
Thanks 🙏
Kanamizilla
Great sidestep to another vid Wave. Band-Maid and Akane are fantastic. Personally I like Senri and Tamu more on taste and probably Yoyoka, who plays in Germany this weekend, will blow them all away in a couple of years. It's absurd how many great Japanese female drummers there are. Missed opportunity for the OG-openingsceremony not to use them.
Now you made me curious. I don't know Senri or Tamu, but I've heard a lot about Yoyoka. The day to checkout is coming
@@maurormatos Fyi My top 10: 1 Senri Kawaguchi 2 Pau Villareal 3 Tamu Murata 4 Akane Hirose 5 Sarah Thawer 6 Anika Nilles 7 Kristina Schiano 8 Yoyoka (future nr 1) 9 Kanade Sato 10 Sheila E
@@saltyshowers9356 I love Pau but I can't see her above Akane. They are all excellent.
@@bartyslattfast Agree that they all are great drummers. It is all a matter of taste and perception. I could easily make a case to put Anika on number 1 in stead of Senri. The reason why I put Pau on number 2 is because of her personality, approach and application which is combined in her soul of playing. To me it is not the quickest, most technical drummer that is by definition the best drummer. It is the drummer with the feel, the groove and ability to get the meaning of the song across. What probably is underestimated is that Pau has a once in generation music personality. The unbelievable lyrics (Evolve for example, look to Unnatural Selection on Netflix) she has written , the fact she is always 'on' with an intensity of a nucleair power plant, her great sense of humor and accessibility. I can all FEEL that and the messages in her playing. Her layers of intellect are truly inspiring and come back in het drumming and singing (on the piano). When I look at Tamu and Akane I see two sensational drummers but I do not feel what I feel with Pau. Again that is very personal. Again that takes nothing away from Tamu and Akane or Kanade for example. As it looks at this moment in about 6/7 years probably they all will be blown away by Yoyoka. Of all the footage, if available, that I have seen she is by far ahead of the rest at 11 years old. Funny thing is that Kii is 8 years old and also shows tremendous promise. If Yoyoko develops like everybody thinks she will, some rules will be rewritten. Her groove and timing, pffff already unbelievable. However puberty is a special phenomenon so time will tell. At the end of the day all these women are taken very serious in the industry and can compete with male drummers, who very often overpower themselves and therefor have a lack of dynamics. Closing on the drummers a hail hail to the finest biscuit in the cookie jar: Senri, Senri arigato. Finally is it worth mentionning that none of these women have a drug addiction. They are better role models than for example Bonham, Baker or Moon. Talking about another instrument Bass, I would put Mohini Dey high in every top 10, because she has got it all: ua-cam.com/video/CTEWBZY-i5w/v-deo.html.
@@saltyshowers9356 agree its personal. as far as feel for me i have akane first and pau second in how they impact me but ss you said it is personal taste.
The comparison to 21 Pilots sucks, visual and trivial comparison with no substance.
And that makes it suck? It’s a music video. The whole thing is visual.
@@WavePotter Nah it's all about the music, and I think we both love that.
