Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are FIRE!!!!! They are easily the most lovable group of hard rockin' ladies on the planet. Their stage presence, energy and joy are at a level most bands only dream of ever achieving. Looking forward to your next B-M reaction video. Cheers!
You got a neck workout head banging!! Great reaction. Thanks for mentioning the lip-syncing myth. That is indeed why he pointed at his mouth during the fast rap.
Great...but nothing yet. Drum solo?, 'Freedom' and lose your mind. Pick any song from them but, basically, live. The best rock band in the universe known...male, female and alien and, for your information, every concert is a continuous madness until you end up in a trance.
In her first solo, Kanami said, “I hope you like Japanese curry as much as I do…take some spice!” (Loosely translated 😏) Dōitashimashite (doughy-tashee-MOSH-tay) “you’re welcome” in Japanese (for real this time 😊)
Check "Freedom" from the same concert and you will see amazing drum solo by Akane and right after that amazing guitar solo by Kanami!!! Thanks for your reaction
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Shadow maker" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
I don't know about next, but I will definitely get to them. I will for sure be enjoying the maids for quite a while. Thank you for enjoying our reaction.
Good idea to look at lyrics later, cause great music has its own heart and soul. Of course, lyrics enhances the song, but only the vocals have influence on the music itself. IMHO. Po.
You ask yourself, "How does Band-Maid come up with so many incredible riffs. The answer, "Kanami Tono is a freakin' genius!" This song,"YOLO" was composed long before Band-Maid was formed. She kept it "in her pocket" until the band was allowed to write and record their own music by their management company. Once that happened, this banger came out. A bit of news" PRS Guitars recently released a statement that Kanami was given her own custom made guitar with her additions from her suggestions and input. They are not available for sale (yet). If they were, they would run between 10K or 14K apiece.
Some time ago Ryan Mear created a shirt with "Shut up...Kanami is speaking" . www.youtube.com/@RyanMear/store He is a very good artist and guitarist. I bought mine 2 yrs ago; there are even large sizes-I got a 3XL. They're very well made. Ryan,one day, was reacting to a Band Maid song when he just blurted this statement out,talking to himself. He then did the artwork for the shirt and created the shirt. Check out his YT channel. www.youtube.com/@RyanMear/videos He just got back from Japan where he went to see several concerts and has reviewed them. He's a cool dude. Welcome to the family.
I love seeing someone getting their mind blown by the best hard rock band ever! I've been a lover of hard rock since the first time I cranked up Van Halen's debut album. NOBODY ROCKS LIKE BAND-MAID!
If you like Dice, you'll like over 100 other Band-Maid hit songs, too! Think about that -- over 100 awesome songs to hear! What a great prospect to have in front of you! 🤘😛🤘 Thx, Skeevy!
Band-Maid. Blooming Brilliant! Welcome, Jackie & Chris. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million views just on their official YT channel, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uds7g3M-4lQ.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7LB_EPS48HE.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. ru-vid.com Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts: 2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Za1y-RRVd70.html ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nAdWnIRjGak.html Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QbyQCJn6rYg.html ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--qQnKILR5u0.html Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD. And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue: Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DgxU-MVjta0.html See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vjZkNeoGmhc.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out: "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid MIDI covers: www.youtube.com/@DeanF_MIDI Reimagined compositions of Band-Maid songs: www.youtube.com/@fxdxmusic Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo The Maids SOLD OUT 2023 US & Mexico tour wrapped up and was a fantastic success.

Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
"Choose Me" -- a song featured in the Netflix original movie "KATE" and the HBO Max series Peacemaker as BAND MAID, has so many great RnR chops, it's kinda unbelievable. From Saiki's old-school phrasing, cadence and a super soulful vocal at the end; MISA's driving bass, her special riff after Kanami's brilliant, rocking main solo (complete with harmonic pinch), and her pulls at the end of the song that really funks it up with Akane's drumming; to Kanami's original composition, off-beat octave stretches during the verses, and her addition of a second uncomplicated yet super tasty solo; to Akane's unique snare & tom flurry that launches the choruses; and to Miku's octave-down, in & out vocal backup and lyrics... all makes "Choose Me" a throwback rocker that surprised me when I first heard it - and I'll bet most anyone - that they would come up with this western-style, rock 'n roll classic. Of course, after years later, it's not surprising at all coming from this important band of geniuses who are, along with The Warning band, almost single-handedly bringing back the joy of rock. Here's a great live MV of "Choose Me" that's not quite as punchy do to the mix, but still good: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HcqitbXgigU.html Thx, Skeevy!
