The songs already released earlier in the year are just Band-Maid awesomesauce! The six new songs are so tightly integrated and complex, it's going to take a Tokyo minute to assimilate. But I already love Forbidden Tale, and especially The One. 😉🤘 btw - We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! Will they managing other bands, boost Cluppo and Maiko projects, or tour more internationally? Or maybe they will expand their business interest to other sectors of the music biz outside of Band-Maid. I believe Kanami wants to get more into composing, scoring and production. And as for Miku and Saiki, the sky's the limit for what they'll want to do in merch, fashion and art, etc.. Thx, Red!
In a band that is consistently brilliant. Every member is given a chance to add and embellish but none of them over do anything. It is all to make the song special. The album is close to being a classic. It has a narrative as the title of the album implies. This song is just so repeatable as usual. I still feel emotional and moved even after hearing it so often. A connection between the past and the future. The music and lives of those that are gone but will forever be remembered. A band without a weak link anywhere.
In an interview Saiki talked about the lyrics she wrote for this song. Short version. She was looking at music history, found songs and stories that had been forbidden but were now being recreated using new tech. Found inspiration from them and then wondered if long after she is gone if people will also be inspired by their music. Take the lyrics as being about connecting with someone from the past through their art and also connecting through your own art with someone in the future.
The whole Epic Narratives album is just fabulous, every song is so different but so brilliant from start to finish.
Masterful songwriting and storytelling 🔥❤️ Lovin’ Band-Maid 🔥❤️
This song shows that Band-Maid never stops evolving!

KANAMI「実は前々からSAIKIには「展開がめっちゃ多い曲が欲しい」と言われていたんですね。そして、これを作っていた当時の私は、たまたま身近な人の死があったこともあり、「命とは？」「生きるとは？」といったことを考えていたんです。そこで「人の人生とはどういうものか」、「人生とは山あり谷あり」というようなことを音楽で表現することに挑戦してみたいな、と思ったんです。」という事です。
大切な家族の繋がり！ 世界中の人々が繋がり合って幸せになりますように！祈るばかりです。素晴らしい！！バンドメイドの歌だよね～と。
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
