You got treated to a very special Omajinai time at your first Okyu-ji! Thanks so much for taking and sharing this video! I've watched it five or six times now, and it makes me smile and laugh every time. It really highlights Miku's comic genius. Her explanation of the "two choices" is gut-bustingly funny! I've never seen another hard rock band that generates so much pure joy. They are a Japanese national treasure and a priceless gift to the world.
I picked up call at work and missed the concert! 😢 I was an exchange student in Kumamoto... Miku-chan's hometown, and my second hometown. Going back in September. Would love to see Band-Maid in Japan. Thanks for sharing! 👏
This was my first time seeing them live, Miku really gets into it. It was one of the best times I've had at a concert, Po. Thanks for taking and posting the video.
This was also my first time seeing them live, and I was totally blown away even though I’ve seen other live videos, being in person is no comparison :-)
Makes me happy to see wester women seeing this is their band! The guys will love them of course, but I fear many western women do not take time to realize what a great example that girls really can kick the guys asses haha Thanks for posting Kaylee!
I had heard of them a couple years ago but it wasn't until about Christmas 2022 that I started really getting into it (shortly after I devoured all of Lovebites' discography and was looking for more Japanese bands) and fell in love with the band, and enjoyed the hell out of all of them and how much *fun* they have. Honestly, Metal is more alive overseas than it is in the US. We need more bands like this / more Band-Maid tours :D
Three days after the concert...My hearing is not ringing like a bell anymore ! First " sound " hangover ive had in about 35 years ! I couldn't have asked for much more from the Maids . Thank you Kaylee and Detroit for representing us so well ! ❤️❤️🍺🎸🕊️🤯
I've watched this a couple times (as it's soooo good), didn't catch it the 1st time, but at the end Kanami holds her guitar (and chord position) while Siaki strums the strings.
Good question! I'd been wondering the same. OK, this is a lot of speculation and probably way more information than you wanted, but here goes: Neither she nor Kanami appeared to be using tube amp heads for the May U.S. gigs. Miku had an Orange Pedal Baby solid-state power amp on top of her cab, which makes me think she is using a pedal or digital modeler as her preamp. This change might be due to the problems she had the second night in New York opening for the Last Rockstars. Something in her rig went down, likely the amp head, so she had to do a decent chunk of the set without any guitar sound. (Of course, she handled it like the trooper/magic pigeon she is, and even gave Kanami a sweet kiss during "Freedom." Kawaii turned up to 11!) The logical guess is they didn't want to risk a rented tube amp head failing again during the May shows. As for Miku's Marshall cab, maybe since they weren't using the Peavey head anyway, they just asked the rental company for any old 4x12 cab. If anyone else has better info., I'd love to know. BTW, I wrote to Premier Guitar and asked them to do a video Rig Rundown with Misa, Kanami, and Miku in Nashville, but I have no idea whether they read my email or followed up on it.
@@rosssnel3117 I don't know why I'm just seeing this now. But I thank you for your dissertation. So I guess basically all the equipment that they use overseas. Outside of Japan of course. Is rented City to City. Would that include all amplification as well as the drums ? Thanks again ! Sorry for the late response back to you !
@@chuckcharles3113 No worries on the late response! My understanding is that they rent the drums and amps and bring over guitars, bass and pedalboards when they play in the states (and maybe cymbals?). I'm assuming it's cheaper and more convenient to rent that gear than to ship it. There is a new twist, though, for us gear geeks: At the last Japanese gig, Miku was playing a Revv amp, and Kanami was playing a Bogner (looked like either an Ecstasy or an Uberschall). I doubt they'd rent gear in the Tokyo area. So looks like they might be changing things going forward.
When you see how many shows the Maids have actually played over the last 10 years, you can't help but admire how much fun they have. No band does this with their fans but BandMaid. MIku telling the crowd off is hilarious.

“Join or JOIN!!!”
“You cannot run away because you are TRAPEEED po!!!”
damn, that Detroit crowd rocked the house, you guys are one hell of a noice making machine , no wonder the girls got all exited!
Thanks for posting this!. I was hoping someone would. This was a riot live!
They remain unique and so much fun to watch.
Thank you for recording and uploading this.

Agreed - I loved it so very much - I was trying so very hard to not laugh out loud while I was recording but when I watched it back I giggled madly.
I have to agree 👍 ❤
And YOU ARE TRA-PEED ! Miku gets more comfortable with every Okyiuji ! ❤️🕊️
Yep, they are the best!

@@AniMeiGrrl That may be hard to believe until you experience it for yourself, but it's so true!
Po.
Priceless..
👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome!!

This was the first show I ever wore ear protection for - and I was glad for it at the end! :D
Wonderful!
I have three words for this video of yours, Kaylee - AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! Thank you for sharing.
I was there on the rail, Cool video. I shared it on twitter.
That was really fun! Enjoyed it, thanks for posting. Band Maid Rocks 🤘🏻
That was a fun one! 😂
The ladies never fail to entertain.
Miku is a world treasure !
Oh...Miku, you're a genius with no doubt.

Thank you so much for sharing! 😀
Awesome *Omajinai Time* 🤘😁
Best Omanjinai time I've seem. It was amazing. The ladies were very comfortable and were having a blast messing with Miku.
Miku is a benign tornado.
Which beer was Misa drinking in Detroit?
Bell's Lager for the Lakes. Pretty good Michigan beer company.
@@evgrang995 Awesome 😋
Thanks for posting! Poor Miku has no idea what goes on behind her. They are all natural born entertainers.
I have said this for a few years now. These ladies are like the 21st century Japanese female version of the Marx Brothers !
Does anyone know why Miku doesn't seem to be using the 5150 cabinets and amps anymore ?

Moi moi yeahbyeah
Can anyone come up with a Western band that can do this?? I can't!!
The whole idea of the opening ceremony is to listen to the crack of the can. Why do people scream to drown out the sound?
