I have to admit, I was a little hesitant when I saw this video in my feed, as this song is still at the top of all Band-Maid songs for me. 🙈 But I should have known that you would approach this cover with the utmost respect, as you always do. I don't think it could have been any better. 🙏🏻✨ I've often wondered what Band-Maid would sound like with a real orchestra, and if that should ever happen, I hope they'll invite you to be a part of it. _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' ♬🕊
Thank you 🙏 Glad I didn't upset you 🙂 Well, there is always something to improve, but I tried my best. That would be awesome, hope their management will decide to hire an orchestra for concert. And that would be an honour to play with the Ladies. Very well said, I like that quote👌
@@alexejbagrintsev The chance of you 'upsetting' me with one of your covers is practically zero! 😉After all, I've seen too many of your videos by now and I know how good you are with your cello. :) But I'm sure you know yourself that when it comes to your favorite song, you always have the question in the back of your mind 'will a cover do it justice?'. On the other hand, as an active musician you probably think that with every song you tackle. 😅 Playing songs with just one instrument, which are normally played by a full band, must be a mammoth task. And after all the videos I've seen of you, I've always been really impressed by how well you've played the individual parts separately, and in particular how well you've put them together and how it sounds as a result. When Kanami writes a song, she has a large library of possibilities to draw from with Miku, Akane and Misa, but you only have one library at your disposal. And it's certainly not easy to 'exploit' this library to such an extent that it allows you to take on the parts of different instruments with completely different characteristics. I take my hat off for the fact that you've done this already so often and incredibly well! 🙏🏻🤘🏻 Yes, there may always be room for improvement, but in the end there is another very nice quote from one of B-M's songs... 😇 ___________________ 「 _"完璧なんてありえない" / Perfection? No one gets there._ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Warning' ♬🕊
Glad to know 🙂 Thanks, appreciate it. I know that feeling. Speaking about my favourite song, I would rather be biased in judgements than objective. When I covered "Page" , I wasn't confident at all and thought it may fail, but people appreciated it and, feeling all the support, I'm much more confident and have almost no doubt, covering and uploading new song 🙂 Well, it is not easy at all. But I usually have the idea in which style I would like to cover (original, close to original, alternative), how many parts, what I'm gonna skip or reduce, what to highlight, then start recording and listen if it matches or no, do a lot of cuts and then it is ready. Sometimes it can be tricky and needs more time, but it definitely worth it. You are right. There are five members, they have a large library, but they do the main and the hardest part - create songs. It is way more difficult. I have an experience of composing parts and it is very difficult. Can't imagine, how is it - to create a song/piece from zero. Always admire people, who are able to do that. So, hats off to these people and Band-Maid in particular! 🙇 Thank you very much 🙏 You are always on point 👌 A very nice quote. Everyone has own opinion, therefore there is no perfection, cause it is subjective ☝️
"Daydreaming" is such an emotional song! And the cello makes this song even more emotional! I love this song so much! Alexej, your talent for playing the cello is incredible! I'm always delighted with your covers! Thank you so much for the video!
Супер! Я и забыл как-то, насколько замечательно у тебя получается делать такие вещи 😍 Хотя, честно говоря, такого рода изумление мне свойственно и просто когда я BAND-MAID слушаю. Ставлю порядок проигрывания на «случайный», а потом каждый раз «Ёлки-палки, как они замечательно играют, это удивительно, что такое совершенство может существовать в мире!» Вот каждый раз, как я твои произведения слушаю, у меня такое же ощущение 🥰
Спасибо! 🙏 Да, они потрясающе играют и поют. Сразу становится понятно, что они искренне любят музыку, которую исполняют, очень много репетируют вместе и самостоятельно занимаются. Благодарю, приятно 🙂 Уже почти середина 2024-го и до сих пор нет информации о концертах в США и Европе. Надеюсь, они приедут туда после выпуска нового альбома.
@@alexejbagrintsev Да честно говоря, я уже как-то притерпелся и так существовать 🙂 Ковид помог всему миру осознать наличие Интернета, и теперь они выпускают записи концертов не раз в год, как раньше, а каждое крупное событие записывают. Вот я сегодня Spinoff Show посмотрел - супер, я вполне доволен, и не надо никуда ехать 🤗 Посмотрим. Думаю, когда-нибудь-то они в Европу приедут? И я, конечно, сорвусь и буду ездить за ними следом. Увижу кучу старых друзей - и заведу кучу новых. Так что и так хорошо, и так 😍🥰🌺🌹
Да, это прекрасно, что концерты девушек транслируют онлайн, делают записи, но ничто не заменит живое выступление ☝️ Я не против путешествовать, но мне каждый раз нужна виза, а паспорт поменять могу только в Минске, так что для себя решил, что не больше одного раза в год буду выбираться в далёкие края. Только путь в Японию и обратно занимает около двух дней.
@@alexejbagrintsev Да уж, Япония... Но почему два дня, сутки же? И да, виза нужна. Неудобно. Ещё мне не понравилось в Японии то, что билеты нормальные не купишь. А у них там всё по очереди, заходишь по номерочку на билете, так что каждый раз оказываешься последним. Можно выиграть лотерею для O-MEI-SYU-SAMA, но я их почему-то всегда проигрываю. Даже в YokoAri проиграл, хотя вот это вообще мне непонятно - там десять тысяч нераспроданных билетов осталось, как я понимаю. Ну и ещё то, что в Японии девушки говорят со сцены на японском, так что пропускаешь самое интересное 🙄 В США тоже как-то слишком далеко ехать - и довольно дорого. Где-то 6 тысяч долларов надо на всё про всё, если следовать за ними на все концерты во время тура. К тому же для меня лично всякие такие концерты остаются в памяти скорее как какой-то шторм, где я попал под дождь с градом и пытаюсь идти против ураганного ветра, почти ничего не видя. Поэтому я их и записываю всегда, чтобы потом разобраться, что это такое было. Но это мои личные особенности восприятия, я понимаю, что большинству людей такой шторм эмоций как раз нравится.
Я говорил про путь в обе стороны. Но можно и почти двое добираться, как я в прошлом году. 44 часа с момента выхода из отеля и до входа в квартиру. Да, я летел сначала из Фукуоки (прежний рейс отменили, пришлось раньше на час стартовать), потому ждал рейс до Тайбэя, где у меня был стык длиною в 6 часов, затем летел до Мюнхена, а оттуда ещё 5 часов до моего города на общественном транспорте. Визу ставят быстро и платить не нужно, только это каждый раз минус 2 страницы. Насчёт билетов согласен. Если в прошлом году всё было более-менее нормально, то в этом система меня посадила почти в самый конец зала. Я начал спрашивать о лишних билетах в места ближе к сцене, и Marshall из Гонконга сумел найти местного фаната их Twitter, который даром отдавал 2 билета в 11-й ряд на первом этаже. Повезло 👍 Касаемо лотереи - тут всё индивидуально. Как говорится, не везёт мне в картах... Да, 20-го марта я смог понять буквально несколько фраз и слов 😬 У меня была шальная мысль посетить все концерты Band-Maid в США в августе 2023-го, и расходы составили бы 5+ тысяч. Я долго думал, но всё же решил остаться в Германии. Я очень надеюсь, что менеджмент группы вспомнит о Европе, потому что без выступлений в этой части света не будет никакого Мирового Господства 🤔 Всё индивидуально. Кто-то хорошо помнит, кто-то забывает, у кого-то всё в кучу собирается 🙂 Жаль, что в Японии нельзя записывать концерты.
Who is this classy, talented gentleman who warms are souls and melts our hearts with these beautiful covers with his cello? He is our friend and fellow Maidiac, the great Alexej! Thank you again for yet another beautiful masterpiece! You spoil us with your brilliance kind Sir! I literally get chills listening to this. Perfection, Po!
Classy, talented gentleman ?...Oopsy...I thought you were trying to get my attention.🤦🏻♂️ I echo your sentiments Charles. Ant now has a new song to add to his scene intros !
Bloody marvellous, thank you so much Brother for your time, effort, energies and sharing of your talent. Just like the Rock Goddesses we adore you make our days better, cheers Po 👍🍻
Alexj, beautiful rendition of a lovely musical melody by Kanami! I always impressed by your musical talent. I hope you are aware that your covers are very inspirational and a pleasure to listen to. Peace & Respect from Montreal!
Beautiful! Your arraignment captures the feel and emotion of the original so well and then adds a warmth to the emotion felt. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you, appreciate it 🙏 When I covered the first song - Page, I wasn't sure if it will fail or people will like it, cause there was no cello covers. Luckily people did like the cover and it motivated me to keep doing more arrangements of Band-Maid songs.
Another beautiful interpretation of the Ladies music. Seriously, I wish they would hire you to be a member of their staff and maybe put you with a few other string players and a small horn section on stage with them for their performances.
@alekseibagrintsev I wonder what Kanami could do with a full woodwind and horn section in addition to a string section. Heck, if I continue along those lines, I still have a dream of the Ladies performing with a full Orcheatra. A series of recorded/broadcast concerts where they play their entire discography, including alternate versions of their songs, to be released as a BD/DVD and CD boxed set.
I think she would find the solution, if not - ask arranger for help. That would be amazing, wish it could happen. Many great hard rock and metal bands performed with symphony orchestras. And it is high time to use live instruments in their recordings.
A few day ago, Just Driving (normally listening to Band-maid songs on UA-cam-mix while driving), as usual, letting our Maids’ songs running non-stop and suddenly this Beautiful song came, Oh! Thinking It’s a little bit different of DAYDREAMING, but still very Beautiful DAYDREAMING, so planning of checking you channel and digest every-covers. aww! Now you really make my expectations of hearing “FROM NOW ON’ in this version. Thanks a lot for all these WONDERFUL Covers and have a wonderful day. Btw I really like “Page-cover, don’t know why whenever PAGE come across while listening BM song have to repeat it twice(at least), so you have another big thanks for this song (not gonna say my favourite though). And AGAIN THANK YOU
Thank you! 🙏 Appreciate it. Page is such a nice song. Too bad there is no MV and they play it rarely. Thank you for listening to covers and welcome to the channel 🤝 Nice to meet you! Page is my favourite song, can listen to it all day long 🙂 "From now on" 🤔 Would be interesting to cover, but it is gonna be hard and effects + original drum part are mandatory, otherwise it will sound too soft.
I was put in a reverie! So simple sounding, yet powerful. The flow of the lyrics crossed my mind. Thank you. I listened to the older version you did. That had a "dressed-up" feel. This new version is striped down and more emotional. Guess which one I prefer?
My favourite Band Maid song....huge thanks for posting. Always beautiful to listen to the ebb and flow of this song. With Kanami having a background in classical piano and you (i assume) a background in classical music also, just how much 'classic music' influence is there in Kanami's compositions? I hear a lot of detail in her Maid music and wonder how much is driven by her musical training. The Beatles had George Martin and his classical nous guiding them - to me she is the George Martin of the group, except of course she goes out on stage and goes wild :)
Thank you, Darren 🙏 Didn't know "Daydreaming" was your favourite song. Do you want me to dedicate this song to you? Well, there is a lot of classic music in BM songs . It is not a secret Kanami-Sensei often composes on acoustic guitar or piano and it definitely affects on songs. There are so many nice melodies hidden in the mix, but if you listen to individual parts you realise how diverse and complex their music is. Well stated 😁 👍
@@alexejbagrintsev Many thanks but no need for the dedication lol :) For me Daydreaming is one of the best written rock songs of all time (you could throw that blanket over about 40 BM songs) - lyrics, vocals, bass, drums, guitars all on point and perfect - in my driving job i probably hear it 2-3 times a day :) It's that diversity and complexity that hooks me to their music (as they do to all) and I really do find them to be a modern fab4 in that respect. Just wondering what a classical musician thought of Mincho's arrangements :) Maybe breaking down the classical structure of their music is a possible video series for you :)
My pleasure 🙂 The song is great, especially the guitar solo 🤘 I listen to "Bubble" often, like everything about the song and it is on the 2nd place in the Top list. I think it is the same for me. You listen to the music, like very much, and when you start to analyse it deeply, you can't stop admiring its perfection. Their music fits classical instrument very well due to its roots, style diversity, complexity (like a symphony). And unlike many other bands, Ladies develop melodies as much as possible both lyric and instrumental, improvise, change rhythm. I play way better than speak 😁 Since we have now a great classical musician who does reaction videos - NittPicc, she can do it.
@@alexejbagrintsev I cannot wax lyrical enough about their music and it's complexity. Trying to put together an Akane highlight reel and I've bitten off more than I can chew...lol Love to hear an orchestra play their songs. Hmmm is there an orchestra in the BM community? Anyway - way too cool all around :) look forward to your next cover :)
Their music is simply amazing 👌 That would be great. No, we are missing many instruments 🤔 But I hope there will be more classical musicians among fans in the future. Thanks 🙂
@@GaryHolloway-810 hey, sehr preise Preis! Vielen dank dir, Gary! Ich habe dich schon vermisst! Ich hoffe, dir geht es gesundheitlich gut? Mein Geburtstag war dieses Jahr ganz etwas besonderes: ich hatte ein Wohnzimmer Konzert! Eine bekannte Musikerin meiner Frau hat hier 1 Stunde lang mit der Ukulele und Gesang ein kleines Privat Konzert gegeben! Ist kein billiger Spaß, aber 69 wird man ja auch nicht so oft! Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg, schön von dir gelesen zu haben! Ben🥳
@@alexejbagrintsev you are willkommen! Meine Frau war übrigens an dem Wochenende, an dem du auch in Hamburg gespielt hast in der Elbphilharmonie! Rate mal: ein Cello Konzert! Sie wusste den Namen nicht mehr, war mit einem Freund dort, der auch etwas Cello spielt, aber soll einer der berühmtesten Cellisten der Welt gewesen sein. Ist mit seiner halben Familie dort aufgetreten. Sicher weißt du schon, wer gemeint ist. Fasziniert war sie halt besonders von der Akustik dort! Ich habe die Elbphilharmonie inzwischen bei UA-cam abonniert, sie bringt da auch immer wieder einmal ganz interessante musikalische Ereignisse. Hört sich selbst über UA-cam sehr faszinierend an!
"Daydreaming" is classified as a fairly delicate song among Band-Maid's songs, but it is beautifully expressed with Alexej-san's cello tone. Thank you for your beautiful performance.
Thank you for support, Rahim. Well, I can't force people to subscribe, only to ask. But, to be honest, I covered only 3 new songs since August, so I may affected.
Thank you 🙏 To be honest - no, cause I have already covered this song, but I wanted to redo it with improved sound and more parts. Thank you, Sir. Appreciate it 🤝
There can't be enough versions of this beautiful piece of music... !!! Arigatō Alexej..and I 'm looking forward to the new cover...Best regards...Jan Eric
This is fantastic. A beautiful cover of a beautiful song. As I was listening I was wondering, Is he going to do the guitar solo...? Well done! Thank you
Great content as always. it would be interesting to know how long something like this takes. Also, have you ever revisted a cover and changed some choices?
Thank you, Kasper 🙏 Regarding this version - not much at all. When I did it for the first time, it took several days. Yes, "Bubble" and this song. I wanted to upload versions with a better sound, more parts and highlight guitar solos playing it like it was written (well, in this song I started to play one octave lower and then switched to a higher one) .
I'm a bit surprised this wasn't your FIRST choice as a cover. It seems to lend itself extremely well to a string arrangement. How was your experience at the last acoustic Okyuji ? I heard no rumors of Miku calling you onstage... perhaps she couldn't see you ...Or the cello you had in the seat next to you wasn't loud enough ? 🤔
Well, it was my fourth song to cover. And I decided to redo it. That was amazing! Such a warm and friendly atmosphere in the venue, great playlist, even though they didn't play my favourite song "Page" , but played my 2nd favourite song "Bubble" , which was masterfully arranged. Concert started with "Alone" , what was unexpected 🤔 Saiki-Sensei played "Choose me" on the piano and it was amazing, better than in Yokohama, but quite obvious, unlike "Daydreaming" as the last song with Saiki-Sensei on the piano. The Ladies keep improving themselves reaching the highest level. The only thing I didn't like much - talking time. It was a bit too much and everything in Japanese except one question to overseas fans. But I was still smiling and laughing with them 🙂 They do collaborations only with famous artists ☝️ That evening I didn't wear any masks, but decided to wear nice jacket and black leather shoes, and didn't want to bother them, even though I could move to the 2nd row. There was no cello next to me, only a nice guy from Hong Kong - Marshall, who is famous in the community for doing nice figurenes of the Ladies.
If you love the cover, please give a like, leave a comment, subscribe to the channel and share the video. Thank you!
No i'm not Daydreaming, it's another wonderful B-M cello cover by alexej.🤗

@alekseibagrintsev I wonder what Kanami could do with a full woodwind and horn section in addition to a string section.
Heck, if I continue along those lines, I still have a dream of the Ladies performing with a full Orcheatra. A series of recorded/broadcast concerts where they play their entire discography, including alternate versions of their songs, to be released as a BD/DVD and CD boxed set.
I think she would find the solution, if not - ask arranger for help.
That would be amazing, wish it could happen. Many great hard rock and metal bands performed with symphony orchestras.
And it is high time to use live instruments in their recordings.
I was riding along blissfully until the solo came and chills ran down my spine . Very well done . Gentle and powerful at the same time
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
Glad you liked it.
Great Cover!!!👍👍🏻👍
Thank you! 🙏
A few day ago, Just Driving (normally listening to Band-maid songs on UA-cam-mix while driving), as usual, letting our Maids’ songs running non-stop and suddenly this Beautiful song came, Oh! Thinking It’s a little bit different of DAYDREAMING, but still very Beautiful DAYDREAMING, so planning of checking you channel and digest every-covers. aww! Now you really make my expectations of hearing “FROM NOW ON’ in this version. Thanks a lot for all these WONDERFUL Covers and have a wonderful day. Btw I really like “Page-cover, don’t know why whenever PAGE come across while listening BM song have to repeat it twice(at least), so you have another big thanks for this song (not gonna say my favourite though). And AGAIN THANK YOU
Thank you! 🙏 Appreciate it.
Page is such a nice song. Too bad there is no MV and they play it rarely.
Thank you for listening to covers and welcome to the channel 🤝 Nice to meet you!
Page is my favourite song, can listen to it all day long 🙂
"From now on" 🤔 Would be interesting to cover, but it is gonna be hard and effects + original drum part are mandatory, otherwise it will sound too soft.
I was put in a reverie! So simple sounding, yet powerful. The flow of the lyrics crossed my mind. Thank you. I listened to the older version you did. That had a "dressed-up" feel. This new version is striped down and more emotional. Guess which one I prefer?
Thank you! 🙏
Well, the third one 😁
Seriously - a new one.
This song would be amazing to hear live like this. It fits perfect. Nailed the solo.
Thank you, I tried my best🙏
Wish I could play it live 🙂
This is exceptionally beautiful! I especially appreciate the plucking halfway though. Subtle, yet adds so much!
Thank you! 🙏
My favourite Band Maid song....huge thanks for posting. Always beautiful to listen to the ebb and flow of this song.
With Kanami having a background in classical piano and you (i assume) a background in classical music also, just how much 'classic music' influence is there in Kanami's compositions?
I hear a lot of detail in her Maid music and wonder how much is driven by her musical training.
The Beatles had George Martin and his classical nous guiding them - to me she is the George Martin of the group, except of course she goes out on stage and goes wild :)
Thank you, Darren 🙏
Didn't know "Daydreaming" was your favourite song. Do you want me to dedicate this song to you?
Well, there is a lot of classic music in BM songs . It is not a secret Kanami-Sensei often composes on acoustic guitar or piano and it definitely affects on songs. There are so many nice melodies hidden in the mix, but if you listen to individual parts you realise how diverse and complex their music is.
Well stated 😁 👍
@@alexejbagrintsev Many thanks but no need for the dedication lol :)
For me Daydreaming is one of the best written rock songs of all time (you could throw that blanket over about 40 BM songs) - lyrics, vocals, bass, drums, guitars all on point and perfect - in my driving job i probably hear it 2-3 times a day :)
It's that diversity and complexity that hooks me to their music (as they do to all) and I really do find them to be a modern fab4 in that respect.
Just wondering what a classical musician thought of Mincho's arrangements :)
Maybe breaking down the classical structure of their music is a possible video series for you :)
My pleasure 🙂
The song is great, especially the guitar solo 🤘
I listen to "Bubble" often, like everything about the song and it is on the 2nd place in the Top list.
I think it is the same for me. You listen to the music, like very much, and when you start to analyse it deeply, you can't stop admiring its perfection.
Their music fits classical instrument very well due to its roots, style diversity, complexity (like a symphony). And unlike many other bands, Ladies develop melodies as much as possible both lyric and instrumental, improvise, change rhythm.
I play way better than speak 😁 Since we have now a great classical musician who does reaction videos - NittPicc, she can do it.
@@alexejbagrintsev I cannot wax lyrical enough about their music and it's complexity. Trying to put together an Akane highlight reel and I've bitten off more than I can chew...lol
Love to hear an orchestra play their songs. Hmmm is there an orchestra in the BM community?
Anyway - way too cool all around :) look forward to your next cover :)
Their music is simply amazing 👌
That would be great. No, we are missing many instruments 🤔
But I hope there will be more classical musicians among fans in the future.
Thanks 🙂
If I wasn't already married I would convince my wife to walk down the aisle to this rendition. This is so well done the solo was so clean. Bravo!
Thank you! 🙏
That would be an honour for me.
The low bass notes really hit nice in this one!
Thank you!
Guter Job, mein Freund! Hab mir deine Fassung gleich dreimal hintereinander angehört. Da macht Tagträumen wirklich Spaß! Wünsche dir einen schönen Sonntag morgen!❤😂
Happy belated birthday, Ben.🥳🎂
Danke, mein Freund! 🙏
Ich schätze es 🙂
Danke, dir auch!
Hoffe es wird sonnig und warm bald 🤞
@@GaryHolloway-810 hey, sehr preise Preis! Vielen dank dir, Gary! Ich habe dich schon vermisst! Ich hoffe, dir geht es gesundheitlich gut? Mein Geburtstag war dieses Jahr ganz etwas besonderes: ich hatte ein Wohnzimmer Konzert! Eine bekannte Musikerin meiner Frau hat hier 1 Stunde lang mit der Ukulele und Gesang ein kleines Privat Konzert gegeben! Ist kein billiger Spaß, aber 69 wird man ja auch nicht so oft! Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg, schön von dir gelesen zu haben! Ben🥳
@@alexejbagrintsev you are willkommen! Meine Frau war übrigens an dem Wochenende, an dem du auch in Hamburg gespielt hast in der Elbphilharmonie! Rate mal: ein Cello Konzert! Sie wusste den Namen nicht mehr, war mit einem Freund dort, der auch etwas Cello spielt, aber soll einer der berühmtesten Cellisten der Welt gewesen sein. Ist mit seiner halben Familie dort aufgetreten. Sicher weißt du schon, wer gemeint ist. Fasziniert war sie halt besonders von der Akustik dort! Ich habe die Elbphilharmonie inzwischen bei UA-cam abonniert, sie bringt da auch immer wieder einmal ganz interessante musikalische Ereignisse. Hört sich selbst über UA-cam sehr faszinierend an!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum späten Geburtstag, Ben!
Gary, how is it going?
Gorgeous, like the source material
Thank you 🙏
素晴らしい👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻聴き入りました💞
ありがとうございますᙏ 🙏
またお会いできて嬉しいです 🙂
Wonderfully done! Always your usual beautifully made cover!
Thank you! 🙏
Haunting beautiful, cello maid po!
Thank you, PO! 🙏
"Daydreaming" is classified as a fairly delicate song among Band-Maid's songs, but it is beautifully expressed with Alexej-san's cello tone. Thank you for your beautiful performance.
Thank you 🙏
Totally agree about the song, "Page" is also a very delicate song. It is a pity they perform it rarely.
Шикарный кавер!
Спасибо! 🙏
Not even a thousand subs. This is just criminal.
Thank you for support, Rahim. Well, I can't force people to subscribe, only to ask. But, to be honest, I covered only 3 new songs since August, so I may affected.
👏👏👏
🙏
Bravo 👏👏 So Beautiful ❤
Cello really suits with this song🤩
Thank you! 🙏
Agree, ballades suit the cello well.
I am sure you got a lot of requests for this and you've done the song proud. Great playing as always. Will definitely be in a Band of Maids escapade.
Thank you 🙏
To be honest - no, cause I have already covered this song, but I wanted to redo it with improved sound and more parts.
Thank you, Sir. Appreciate it 🤝
Hi, Alexej-san. How are you doing?
I re-listened to the older version as well.
Both are great, but I prefer this new version👍👍😉
Hi, Kuni-san. Doing well, thanks. How about you?
Thank you 🙏
@@alexejbagrintsev I had surgery a week after the acoustic Okyuji😅
I'm recovering fine. I even started jogging again🏃♂😉👍
@@K.H.D710 Glad to know everything went well and you are recovering fine💪
Wow, that is great!
Are you gonna attend the show on May 10th?
@@alexejbagrintsev No luck😥
Hope they do the live streaming!
It is a pity...
I hope too. Or they will release the video!
Wonderful! Thank you.
Thank you! 🙏
When bandmaid song being scoring instrumental music for movies 👏🏻✨
Thank you 🙏
That would be nice.
Wow, that was amazing. So touching. Thank you sir!
Thank YOU, sir! 🙏
Beautiful, brilliant! Thank you so much Alexej for that gift! It made my day much better.
Thank you, Bill! 🙏 Glad to know that 👍
Great song. Great arrangement. Great playing, Alexej! One of your best, imo. Thx!
Thank you, Tom! 🙏
💕❤💖LOVE 🎀BAND-MAID🎀 😍🥰😊
🙂🙏
I can envision you performing with them for their next acoustic okyuji. Brilliant interpretation. Cheers!
Thank you! 🙏
That would be nice... In case I become a huge artist, there will be a chance 🙂, otherwise it is impossible.
Cheers!
There can't be enough versions of this beautiful piece of music... !!! Arigatō Alexej..and I 'm looking forward to the new cover...Best regards...Jan Eric
Arigato Jan Eric! 🙏
I promise the next cover won't disappoint you 🙂
Best regards,
Alexej.
Beautiful 😍 perfect for a rainy day such as today for me 💜
Thank you🙏
Agree, it is perfect for such a weather 💜
It's been a while. How are you doing?
Thank you for your uploading. It’s so beautiful !
Thank you! 🙏
Excellent
Thank you 🙏
Amazing cover of a great song! Well Done!
Thank you! 🙏
Belleza que emociona... Gracias!!
Gracias! 🙏
Another amazing work from a master.. sensei
Thank you 🙏
Every Band-Maid Lady is sensei, I'm not 🙂
Another superb cover, keep up the good work!
Thank you! 🙏 I will keep cover songs.
absolutely brilliant!
Thank you! 🙏
Awesome! Thank you.
Thank YOU!🙏
This is fantastic. A beautiful cover of a beautiful song. As I was listening I was wondering, Is he going to do the guitar solo...? Well done! Thank you
Thank you 🙏
I always play guitar solo. Sometimes it can be tricky, but I like challenges and it helps to improve skills.
私はKANAMIがオーケストラ指揮者だったらと思う時があります。
良い指揮者になるのではと考えています。
金海先生ならきっといい指揮者になるだろう。
Beautifully done! ❤️
Thank you! 🙏
❤❤❤
🙏
👌👌👌
🙏
Great content as always. it would be interesting to know how long something like this takes. Also, have you ever revisted a cover and changed some choices?
Thank you, Kasper 🙏
Regarding this version - not much at all. When I did it for the first time, it took several days.
Yes, "Bubble" and this song. I wanted to upload versions with a better sound, more parts and highlight guitar solos playing it like it was written (well, in this song I started to play one octave lower and then switched to a higher one) .
I'm a bit surprised this wasn't your FIRST choice as a cover. It seems to lend itself extremely well to a string arrangement.
How was your experience at the last acoustic Okyuji ? I heard no rumors of Miku calling you onstage... perhaps she couldn't see you ...Or the cello you had in the seat next to you wasn't loud enough ? 🤔
Well, it was my fourth song to cover. And I decided to redo it.
That was amazing! Such a warm and friendly atmosphere in the venue, great playlist, even though they didn't play my favourite song "Page" , but played my 2nd favourite song "Bubble" , which was masterfully arranged.
Concert started with "Alone" , what was unexpected 🤔
Saiki-Sensei played "Choose me" on the piano and it was amazing, better than in Yokohama, but quite obvious, unlike "Daydreaming" as the last song with Saiki-Sensei on the piano. The Ladies keep improving themselves reaching the highest level.
The only thing I didn't like much - talking time. It was a bit too much and everything in Japanese except one question to overseas fans. But I was still smiling and laughing with them 🙂
They do collaborations only with famous artists ☝️ That evening I didn't wear any masks, but decided to wear nice jacket and black leather shoes, and didn't want to bother them, even though I could move to the 2nd row.
There was no cello next to me, only a nice guy from Hong Kong - Marshall, who is famous in the community for doing nice figurenes of the Ladies.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL 🥹
Thank you 🙏
Your thoughts, Alexej ?
A man who will always " Like " his own comment, will always put himself first. 🤔
You are right, Frank 🤔
I cannot like it twice so you are stuck with another comment, I really really (hontoneh hontoneh) like this.
Thank you 🙏
👏👏👏👏
🙏
