Best power ballad ever. This went straight into my Top 3 Band-Maid songs when I first heard it, and it has stayed up there ever since. Kanami is a genius song writer.
@@CUTnPASTEreacts Band-Maid composes everything now. Their earlier stuff was given to them. Then they were allowed to "prove" themselves with Alone. Which Kanami absolutely nailed! The album after that, only 4 songs were not written and arranged by B-M. Then absolutely everything after that is all theirs. Maybe check Alone out.
This is a classic Rock Ballad, plain and simple. That is one of the (many) reasons it is one of my favorites. Too bad the live one was taken down.... Though I have that entire concert so I can watch whenever I want.
This Band Maid song is Kanami's favorite that she has written to date and it comes from deep in her heart. Fantastic power ballad! MV shot was shot in Taiwan, btw.
Try Puzzle live (with the full band) from 2017 Studio Coast concert 1st. Then, Puzzle/Anemone acoustic from 2018 Zepp concert. Sorry, I don't have a link(try lexx😉).
Thanks Man, Kanami is an amazing composer but the band synergy is next level. Check out; [Don't Let Me Down] for a track they got assigned yet is uplifted by them playing it. [Alone], the first all Band-Maid track to make a record, so good it resets the bar.
There are two live versions of "DAYDREAMING": 2017, 2018. In that live version, an impressive piano introduction by Kanami is added. Before those live versions were removed from RU-vid, mainly, this piano intro version was quoted. Currently, there are three BAND-MAID live BLU-RAY (DVD). at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST in 2017 [1h editing] at Zepp Tokyo in 2018 at Line Cube Shibuya in 2020 However, other than the 2020 live, 2017 and 2018 are currently out of print, and AMAZON has a premium price for each. 2017 BLU-RAY 27789yen (268.49 $) 2018 BLU-RAY 49600yen (479.23 $) Due to Amazon's system, the premium price as a high evaluation for this BAND-MAID is not returned to BAND-MAID, and only the reseller makes a profit. In other words, the purchase is ridiculous. ONSET, CROSS, REAL EXISTENCE, uploaded to the official channel are from 2018 live. However, none of the 2017 TAKEs have been uploaded to the official channel. There are no signs that they will be sold together at the official channel store, 2017 Live 2018 Live. The 2017 live includes "PUZZLE" not acoustic, "TAKE ME HIGHER !!", etc., which are often talked about. The 2018 live includes "DON'T YOU TELL ME", which was the most played on BAND-MAID before being deleted on RU-vid, and has a fun battle between guitar and bass. The two live performances are recorded with the enthusiasm and wonderful performances of a young band riding an updraft. But now, the praiseworthy live show is about to be buried in the dark. BAND-MAID has transferred their company, but depending on the situation at that time, there is a risk that those live performances that the previous company owned the copyright will be completely dropped into the darkness. That excellent live performance! For the above reasons, it infringes the copyright, but it does not hinder the income of BAND-MAID, and it seems to be morally permissible, so it is uploaded to a Chinese video site that does not have the concept of copyright. Here are the links for the two live videos. "BILIBILI" I think many people already know and use it. www.bilibili.com/video/BV1ot411A7F4?from=search&seid=16399911383448725153 www.bilibili.com/video/BV1aW411X7bW?from=search&seid=6867557301613591867 Collecting a lot of free illegal copy works, making paid download sites and making money, there are many such sites, it seems to affirm the stance against Chinese copyright, though I'm a little distracted. I'm sorry for my poor English.
I have the same feeling of “I know this from some where” when I first heard this song. The only explanation I have had so far is the guitar sounds like “remembering that year’s fireworks”.
This one is more of a tickle the ribs before slipping the dagger in as opposed to the sledgehammer to the forehead approach. It's familiar, like something from a dream? (A reference to your t-shirt.) But in all seriousness, some of the sounds have been used in car commercials and the like. Not the music itself, just the overall vibe. Thus song so masterfully blends the feelings of ethereal dream state, melancholy, and hopefulness. I see it as a song about longing to he with someone that they cannot be with for whatever reason. The world feels empty as a result of their absence, and they hope to either unite or reunite with them in future.
Great reaction This has always been one of my favorites by them. The Dragon Cries is another different one. It's also in English. They have a couple of acoustic videos too.
I don't know enought of their catalog, but this is something I could keep on a playlist and listen to it many many times and I don't think I would get tired of it.
@@CUTnPASTEreacts Agreed. I kind of choke up even though I don't understand the lyrics. They have the same way of getting to me as Nightwish and Diana Ankudinova.
Acoustic Puzzle and Anemone are part of DVD and because of that they will be probably blocked. But I recomend you to compare both version of Puzzle and you can hear Kanami (lead guitar, composer) to sing second voice. Look for Tokyo Zeppo or buy DVD if they are at stock. I mean outside yt reaction. Few reaction videos of those acoustic versions survived big wave of blocks and are still on YT. Dragon Cries was produced by Toni Visconti. Otherwise Saiki is great in wonderland, Onset is their instrumental piece and together with Fredom and Domination it makes great quartet of live songs on their official chanell. Edit. Wonderland is also live
As you may know, Kanami is the composer to this song, it was her most difficult song to write and yet her most proudest! It’s her favorite song! A genuine masterpiece!
Endless story, Before yesterday, & Start over(jazzy?) are other songs in this type. slower, power ballad-y rock type. IF you can find it, Bubble & Anemone Live acoustic was an EPIC breakdown with just the lead guitarist Kanami & main vocalist Saiki. they also have opened up the library in Spotify if you want to check out their music! open.spotify.com/artist/5Wh3G01Xfxn2zzEZNpuYHH
Thank you, I will try to find those live, but i'm finding alot of their stuff on RU-vid now is mostly official video's. Thank you for you recomendations.
This is the personal fav BM track of Kanami (lead guitarist) who is also the composer and arranger of the band. If you want to hear one of her earliest works, something she wrote before she joined BM check out the official MV for “Yolo”. Here’s the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wKZbzcUdY1g.html
Hope you have their names down by now. There will be a test next time :p It was Wonderland for me I heard 1st, but this is just as powerful. The solo... just wow. An all time favorite. BAND-MAID is different on many levels. The pure skill and chemistry in the band is magic, but the incredibly sophisticated composing is just next level. I always feel like they are students of 50+ years of rock and then music in general from classical to Jazz and successfully arrange it in these mazing short and powerful modern songs. Thank you for the intuitive and intelligent review.
Blue is always the coolest. VABS-MAID are experts at making a song sound familiar, and yet, so fresh. You'll swear up and down you've heard it in an anime somewhere, buy you can't place it. And yes you know it's a New Song, at least to you it's new. If you liked this one check out the acoustic version of 'Puzzle' sometime.
Hey, these girls will blow you away every song, i am 50+ songs in and still haven't found one that i didn't like! Kanami is not only a fantastic guitar player but also a true genius at writing songs, she writes most of their stuff. She has said this song was one of the most difficult songs she arranged but also one of her favorites! Enjoy and stay safe!
I've written for years that I thought Daydreaming was not only a Band-Maid classic, but maybe their best song, if you had to choose one. It's accessible, beautifully written (thank you Kanami) and performed by five incredibly gifted musicians. And the video is exquisite! Too bad relatively few people even know about it.
Any awesome, technologically savvy Maidiacs out there have a link for live acoustic Anemone that this astute gentleman could react to? And, you know, it’s also my favorite acoustic version above any other acoustic song ever! So yah, there’s that too.💪🏻🤘🏻
This song especially feels familiar but better. Possibly, similar to the power ballads of the 80s and 90s? Nice reaction! As far as hair color, how about gray/silver/white like mine😜!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
it wasn't really power ballad similarities, it was the specific part of the music, it honestly sounded like something i heard play in a movie or a commercial. But i could just be going crazy as well. As for the hair, I usually had it dyed silver Grey, but messed up the last time I went to touch it up, so i had to let the damaged hair grow out. Was thinking something a bit more drastic than the silver as I use semi permanent and my hair is pretty short, It grows out quick and easy to change :)
the reason it may sound familiar is because Kanami and Misa put alot of familiar tones in it from influences like U2 and Smashing Pumpkins(one of MISA's favorite bands). this song has that whole 90's grunge and alterantive rock feel to it. its unmistakable. you can hear MISA's inner Adam Clayton (bassist for U2) coming out in this song.
The familiar bit: Like The Edge from U2's chimey guitar style is what I get ('Where The Streets Have No Name' for example). Great song...so uplifting played loud.
There's a pretty good English translation here: japaneseonestoplyrics.blogspot.com/2017/10/band-maid-daydreaming-lyrics-and-translation.html . You have to scroll down a little to see the full English translation. It's a sad song about a lost love and she's daydreaming that it did not end. At least that's how I read it. I will make you cry!
First off quit apologizing for stopping the video, we're here to watch YOU'RE reaction to the video and if you stop a lot then so be it. We can watch this video in length any time we want. Second off, don't you dare do green, blue or purple hair, you're a guy. I recommend you keep the sides and the front wave black, the rest pure white. White racing stripe, about an inch wide, down the center on your black beard lip-to-chin....... that would be dope! .....would match your chair too....Lol! Great react man, thanks. Hello to Poland, I'm Slovak.
You should check out Endless Story. It has a similar vibe. And definitely listen to Bubble, it's my favorite Band-Maid song and it's also got a unique vibe to it.
