This is the first Band-Maid song written and composed by the girls that the label allowed on a album. The rest is history! Band-Maid rocks!

The song where Band-Maid came of age..... Their 1st, 100% original song...... and it's been upward ever since. Cool reaction.....

What's your favorite Band-Maid song? The last one you heard! 😋🤘

Most fans also agree that Alone is, if not the best, one of Kanami’s best solos

Band-maid is too hot for the american's broadcast radio.!!!¡ This band is on fire!

This is the song that made the band maid a real band maid. ​This song is a monument to them.

I love this song because looking back on this song with their entire catalogue, this FEELS like Band-Maid’s voice. It’s the first song on an album that they’re credited as the writers and it sounds a bit different than the other songs on this album. I like the rest of the album, especially Non-Fiction Days, but this song blows it out of the water. It has that Band-Maid stank all over it and you get it every album after this. Alone is the turning point for the band. It’s the quintessential Band-Maid sound and they just evolve from this point on. I feel like everything from Alone on is much better than anything before it. I like Thrill, I like Real Existence, but Alone is where they nail their formula for the first time.

Guys the next reaction to “ Carry On Living - Band Maid "!!!!

Nice reaction guys! "ALONE" has really grown on me and became one of my favorites BAND-MAID's song. And this is definitely one of the best Kanami's solos and the surely the best one with her former AddicTone guitare. So after your "Onset" reaction, you should try "Daydreaming" if you like Kanami's solos. Because this one is just 😍👌🏻 Long live BAND-MAID Friday !! Peace guys

A little tidbit for Alan- This solo in Alone is widely accepted as Kanami’s most iconic guitar work (solo in Blooming is also right up there), however, ironically, it’s not played with her signature PRS but with her literal signature Addictone guitar! Pre PRS deal. This guitar still has such amazing action, though, and terrific tone!💪🏻🤘🏻

MISA MISA MISA! this is (among other things) generally known among MADIACS as Mincho's best NON PRS Solo (did you not notice she was using an AddicTone Guitar)

as long as you can see miku smile I'm good

You know what I said yesterday about you being plugged into my brain? Well you've done it again. Instant thumbs up. This is my favourite Band-Maid song. The chorus just SOARS and Kanami's solo reduces me to a quivering wreck every damn time. Thank you for the reaction, and the analysis of the solo! I'm one of those who requested it before. I'm so glad you've got to it. 3, 2 ,1, GO!

Cant believe the akane comic con footage is gone 😭😭😭😭

First step of Band Maid évolution Alone. Good song for sure

That guitar solo ‼️ awesome

Acording to legend this is the first song they wrote themselves that the record company allowed them to record... regarding Saiki and Miku - with voices like theirs could you ever win an argument before caving and agreeing with whatever they were saying lol.

This is a special song it was the first song they were able to write and produce on their own and they haven't looked back

Misa is one of the best bassist ever good thing i accidentally stumbled on bandmaid onset video total masterpiece.

I loved the way that Akane closed this one out. It sounded so badass.

Band-Maid's Friday, That's it, thanks dudes.

Great reactions as usual guys!! Kanami rocking her Addictone guitar!(back in the day) & Misa with her Fender Bass. Miku usually fills the higher vocals(and sometimes goes super low), and Saiki handles the middle range. ONSET!!! cant wait! wonder if its the LIVE or Studio version? :)

Ok, it's been about an hour now and you haven't reacted to "Onset" yet. Come on guys, I'm still waiting. What's the hold up? LOL

That was a beautiful blend of having fun and more-analytical music appreciation, nice job! "Blooming" is the song that's known as where Kanami had each member write a part, which she then arranged into a(nother) cohesive masterpiece.

With this song and video they opened the floodgates. Nothing has been the same since then. In the race to World Domination!

Other foiks have filled you in on the history. The reason you felt like it sounds "better" is this is where the Band-Maid "Sound" really came together. Definitely one of my 90 favorite Band-Maid songs!

Can never decide between this song or Daydreaming for the best Kanami solo.

the moment they broke free.. off to world domination since. 🕊️🖤

That was a great analysis

You're absolutely right, Saiki goes very low on that particular song. Usually she sings higher, and with more power. Here she's more delicate, almost comfy in the way she sings, leaving more place to the backing vocals of Miko (which is logic since the song was written by all of them, and not produced for them).

Yes, this song has VERY strong pop-punk vibes. And, yeah, Johnny DOESN'T know...... ;o) And IIRC, this song was recorded before Saiki had her vocal polyp surgery, so she her range was a bit restricted.

Alone was a great kickoff to Band-Maid's writing career. Love this song and I enjoyed your picking up on what you thought of their writing and performing. On another note, I'm one of those who generally can't choose a favorite song or band etc. But with that said, Band-Maid's song "Awkward" is among my favorites of theirs. There's actually a few others you haven't heard that are among my favorites. Damn, I'm forgetting that Awkward isn't on RU-vid anymore. Give "Yolo" a go. By the way, I really like your sound Dicodec. Keep it up.

now I'll tell you some things that maybe you already know but I'll tell them anyway. Here we are dealing with: A singer, Saiki, who has been singing since the age of six A Miza bassist who plays, so she says, since she was 4, I don't think he played bass but something did. Akane, who has always studied music, piano, trombone, singing, drums. Kanami studied music, melody, and piano, and over time lost some guitar. Miku who writes poems which are now the songs, and who has never played anything, but has decided to study guitar with Kanami right now. All these people then studied in Japan, do you have any idea what a Japanese teacher is? In Japan, it is not like us where the first desperate man who howls at the moon manages to sell records to a mass of idiots. In Japan, there is a tradition of popular musical culture that we cannot imagine. In Japan, ordinary people go to jazz or progressive concerts every week if not classical music. Japanese musical culture is by far the most profound and varied in the world, especially in recent years. If you travel to Japan you can find posters of some upcoming concert at every corner and if you go to see it you will be amazed by the musical quality you will find, and not only that, now in japan a great culture of audio engineering has also developed and you listen to concerts as if they were HI-Fi directly in the hall with crazy sound volumes, you have to try to believe, Japan is another planet, the fools who wander around here wouldn't even want them to sell tickets to the zoo. If you search on youtube you will see that apart from personal taste, all the Japanese bands have high-level technical skills, while many of our homegrown bands make water on all sides except in arrogance. This is really bad because it is impoverishing our musical culture, just look at what crap kids listen to today.

While this is the first published song they wrote, it was included on their first album released once they moved to the Nippon Crown sub labels. Their first 2 albums they were with Gump Records. The newest album coming in January will be with a different label, Pony Canyon.

Seeing this and your first Band-Maid reaction ( Domination MV), you are now such fan boys :)

A wild amateur video from what might be their first international appearance can be found titled "5-11-2016 Band Maid Live in Hong Kong - ALONE" (It's not good enough video quality for posting but fun to watch)

Awesome reaction guys! This was their first song that they wrote as others, and Eric, have said. It was enjoyable to watch on ym break at work, have a great one.

New intro was dope! The song you mentioned was is Scotty doesn't know lol? Hyped for BAND-MAID Fridays! Thanks for another awesome video!

The first real BAND-MAID song! :) Just listen to Akane...

I'm surprised you guys haven't done Onset yet, you're in for a real treat with that one.

It is interesting that this song was on a later album, but the video was made before the sponsorships came in. No Black Cloud, no Zemaitins, tama or PRS.

Kanami's solo is great, but the drum fills are what carry the song all the way through. And then Misa's bass riffs right before the guitar solo. Truly a landmark song in Band-Maid's catalog.

I think you were referring to "Scotty Doesn't Know" at the beginning of the song. I can hear it too.

I think it should be Scotty doesn't know from the Eurotrip movie 😄 Nice band maid reaction as always! Looking forward for the Onset and please react also on their Real Existence live performance 😊

Always difficult to recommend a song from them, but I think you didn't react to "YOLO" until now ( if I remember right ). Love this song and it may happen, you find another favourite solo from Kanami then.

Very good band, enjoy onset next. Some Lovebites next days ? Afraid to cry ? :-)

This my fav song from them

TGIF Band-Maid!

When you do Onset, you have to do the live version on their official channel, not the MV.

I think the low keys in the beginning were to help contrast the latter parts of the song..... I could be wrong on their intentions but it worked.

Another great reaction guys uuummm have guys ever redacted to galmet all girl Japanese (heavy ) stuff if not try meters anthem ,or promised dawn thanks again love band maid always be well

They had to make a point to their label that they could write their own songs after the first two. The Label let them try ...... Nuff said :) Kanami's compostions are SO GOOD! ......

DONT LET ME DOWN BAND MAID reaction if not done yet c-ya

You can tell if they are early fairly easy by looking at Miku's guitar, early she had Rickenbacker, later the more recognizable Zemeitis engraved metal top guitars.

Yeah... the beginning is totally "Scotty doesn't know..." from Eurotrip. :)

wow guys new intro like it HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH

You'd think it was John Sykes. :)

I almost forgot it's Bando-Maid friday night! /,,/

Yes, this is the first song they wrote that the label let them put in the album. Also, you can tell it's a early one, as Kanami is playing her Addictone. Before she got her hands on her PSR. While it still had a great sound. It's nothing compared to her PSR.

My 2nd favorite song ♥♥♥♥♥

Miku always sings higher or lower than Saiki and the band is really relying on her in this song. I think Saiki would sound a bit thin that low especially in those days but she could probably do it now. I think her speaking voice is a little lower now that she is just that little bit older.

No, Saiki's voice is naturally in a low register

Nice intro,

💚💜💙❤️♥️

🤘👏🌹🙏

This is my top 1 of BM of not puzzle live

Well let me tell you about a story about a group named *BAND-MAID* A group of lovely girls who played rock music that thought was dead And then one day *BAND-MAID* went to the record producers And the next thing you know they started writing on their own *Alone* that is the first song they wrote on their own Well the next thing you know *BAND-MAID* is now and free To write their own music as they shouted out with glee They said *Domination* is where you oughta be And they pack their up gear to make history... _(Copyright claim under BM 4-Life and others)_

I miss Akane's tiny hat.

Scotty doesn't know?

バンドメイド、、 メタルじゃないよ😆

Have you guys reacted to YOLO yet? a much better tune! Though Alone has a better solo, YOLO is so much better

Pause within the first five seconds? Aw hell no...clicking out.
