Great reaction...and love that you like to hear live instruments coming through on the songs. This song was a collaboration piece with Mike Einziger from Incubus. He provided some of the rifts and Kanami did her magic. Lyrics by Miku. Band-Maid opened for Incubus in Japan on 5/1/24 and they played it live for the first time that night. Mikey-chan, as the Maids call him, joined them on stage and performed it with them for the live debut. After the show, Mikey-chan again joined the Maids to watch the World premier of the this video on YT. A great mid-tempo song. My favorite song..."Daydreaming" OMV is a power ballad masterpiece! At live shows, Kanami has done extended intros on the piano and via the guitar. At the 10th Anniversary Tour Finale at Yokohama Arena, perhaps the greatest intro she has done. You like anime...they have been contracted for several anime series. They have a new outro coming out in a few days..."Protect You" for the TV anime "Grendizer U". "Shambles" OMV was a outro for "Kengan Ashura" Season 2 on Netflix. "Sense" OMV was opening theme for "Platinum End". "Different" OLV was the opening theme for Log Horizon season 3. Just to name some of them. Also in the Netflex movie "Kate", Band-Maid does a cameo singing "Choose Me" OMV in one of the club scenes and "Blooming" OMV (my second favorite song) in the car chase. Maids in anime form, "Unleash!!!" OMV, is a really cool MV, but I would do more of the catalog first, as there a many Easter eggs in this one which has reference to the earlier MV's and each of the Maid's persona. Keep rocking with the Maids! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
♥ these girls! I suggest these Band Maid songs: Manners, Dice, Bubble, Blooming, No God (live) & Puzzle (live) Also suggest The Warning. I suggest these TW songs: Money, Sick, Automatic Sun, Enter Sandman (with Alessia Cara), Evolve (live VMAs) & Dust To Dust (live Teatro) BTW - both bands are big fans of each other and recently made a collab song together which they debuted live on stage at joint concert a few weeks back in Tokyo & I was there! 😎
That song got me emotional this truly is a beautiful song and the solo is still hard because It's Band-Maid lol, and you should listen to their song "Blooming" MV this is really different than the other ones too like every songs from them :)
Since you like anime you need to check out Unleash!!!!! It starts out with the band in anime form, then switches to real life, and then finishes in anime form. It is a Band-Maid saves the world from darkness story. Kind of a play on the ravages of the Covid pandemic. Trust me, you will enjoy it!
Bestie, in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile, was co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus. MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song and beautiful MV! And Miku’s English lyrics are heartfelt. Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey, Band-Maid and Ian! FYI - The Maids just released a "Making of Bestie" on their websites where they explain the song and look of their awesome MV.
Kanami (lead guitar) is the best female guitar player in the world! All Band Maid members are the highest level complete musicians, each of them absolutely the best on their instruments like: Akane the best drummer, Misa. the best bass player, Saiki the best singer and as I said Kanami is the best guitar player!!! Thats why Band Maid is the best hard rock band in the world!!! Thanks for your reaction.
