Hello, beautiful people! My name is Marion and I'm a singer, songwriter and sound producer.
I perform under the pseudonym Agami Karma in Moscow, Russia. In 2019 we released an album called 'Shadow Personality' which you can find on every music stream platform!
Here I keep my own music journal, where I share my musical experience and behind-the-scenes activities. And I also launched a series of unusual covers, which I called "Anti-Covers" where I change the scale (from major to minor and vice versa), mood, style and so on.
So, won't you come over with me in this musical upside down journey? Hope you'll have fun!
I screamed with excitement when I saw my three favorites!! I love them all but I will try to make a top 5: 1. A Soul With No King (my favorite version is the remix but anyways both are number 1⭐) 2. Invisible Wounds 3. Earthly Delights 4. Starvation 5. Your Blood / The Dark Dresses Lightly / To Be Alright
I don't like the Sennheiser mics, not on your voice, not on his voice, not on my voice. To me they just sound very harsh and brittle. And I really wanted to like them since I like the brand. However The SM58 I actually preferred in both instances, since your voices had enough of natural brightness. My secret tip is the SE Electronics V7, it has an almost condenser-like clarity without being too harsh, while costing only marginally more then the SM58. I think it is a very well-rounded mic for bright singers like us : )
There’s two that were huge hits in the 80s literally called that it the title, how could you miss them? Eighth wonder - Cross my heart Sinitta - Cross my heart
If you liked this video, I'm not the type you like, You should definitely see it I would like to introduce three more girl rock bands. LoveBites, "Set the world on fire" NEMOPHILA / REVIVE [Official Music Video], Gacharic Spin “MindSet”, You won't regret it. If you're interested in the songs from 40 years ago that formed the foundation for an all-girl rock band, プリンセス プリンセス “GET CRAZY!” Show-Ya - 私は嵐(Music Video) You can get a good idea of the level of Japanese girl rock bands.
Japanese GIRLS BAND is 40 years ago HARD Rock, SHOW-YA, POP Rock, princess princess. It started with Japan is, The best in the world It has become a country with many GIRLS BANDs. Now, HARD Metal GIRLS BAND 10 groups are famous. I forgot to say that. Pop, hard, metal Same level for all genres Only professional girls bands There are 30 to 50 groups. professional debut now. GIRLS HARD ROCK Band Some kids have slightly different vocals, That's all there is except for bands that have disbanded. HANABIE BHANABIER Aldious KOIAI TRiDENT Flowers are cold. Little Lilith Lonesome_Blue Empress Ark Royal PARADOXX FATE GEAR Cyntia DESTROSE Disqualia exist†trace Mary’s Blood
Why MAID? Good question. It is because the girl who was formed this band was actually MAID. Miku Kobato used to work at @HOME maid cafe in Tokyo. It was her idea to have a rock band wearing the maid outfit. It crazy, right?
Let me express my opinion. I believe that singers like Billie Eilish will never be truly loved by the public. She only affects the emotional experiences of young people, and this explains its success. But what will she do when she's 40? Remember Avril Lavigne? It will be the same. In my opinion, if a person is not a genius in music, he should not start playing music. But everyone is looking for easy ways to achieve money and fame. IMHO
i disagree. to me, one of the things that's contributed to her success is her multi-generational appeal. of course, the loudest part of her fandom is the kids, but i see so many older music lovers and musicians adore her, including myself. the thing that always blows my mind is the way she really doesn't sound like any of the other mega pop stars. she's like an indie/underground artist who got massively popular. she's in her own lane.
I noticed the loop feature doesn’t work great in the sample banks. Have you noticed that? It doesn’t do a true loop. There is a very slight pause before it plays it again which, if you were trying to do a song or something, it would really mess you up. It’s kind of annoying. I wish @rode would fix it
Cute. But this test cannot be fair either, since the E965 is right in front of your face. I have a suspicion that KSM9, with his crystalline quality, would win this battle if you sang directly into the microphone. These are the best three microphones in the world!
Welcome to the Maidiacs!! Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the iceberg of musical greatness from this incredible group of ladies and the more you listen to and get to know them, the more you're gonna love 'em! Thanks so much for the GREAT reaction and remember: Life is BETTER with BAND-MAID! 🤘🤩🤘
It's hard to say what I like mostly - your musical talent and taste or your artistic talent. I absolutely love how you work with the color in your videos and your outfit is always something outstanding. I think you could've worked as fashion designer or sth like this.
Cuando puedas descubre todos la música de Jimin es fabulosa muy recomendable al igual que Jeonkuk. Te amamos Jimin. Jikook x siempre 💛💖💜❤️🐣🐰🐰💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I can truly understand why Billie Ellish chose to get inspired by Spirited Away for her new song. The song is more like an experience rather than music, there is this deep immersion and feeling of escapism throughout the song, that the listener becomes part of and shares. There is a strange and eerie feeling of the unknown, and tbh all shares the same profound traits as Spiritual Away.
And a thing about the maid outfits, Agami: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids. Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!
Welcome, Agami. 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.

Did you know, that originally «All by Myself" is a song by singer-songwriter Eric Carmen, released as the first single from his debut album «Eric Carmen» (1975). The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1900-1901 Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Opus 18.
