When I first saw their live performances on youtube I thought it was heavily produced to make it sound good for the DVDs. It's probably produced a little bit , but I recently saw them in Philly and they sound almost exactly like this live.
Most of the sound for the DVD came direct from the sound board and some of the room mic's. The engineers who mixed this did a damn good job, I just wish Kanami would let them turn her amps up. From everything I've read, she intentionally keeps her sound lower in the mix, so as to not over power rest of the band.
Great reaction yall! The ladies of Band-Maid never fail to impress with their talent! Even without knowing a lick of Japanese I still sing along! If you really wanna see the drummer Akane go off then watch the Official Live video of Freedom where she has a full fledged drum solo, its incredible!!!
Kanami (lead) started on piano at 3/4 and picked up guitar in high school when she noticed that the other girls thought the guitar players were cool. Misa started on guitar also around 4 and piano, she also plays trumpet and alto horn, switched to bass in her second year at the Tokyo school of music. Akane also started on piano very young, plays trombone and then started drumming in the 11th grade so she was 16/17, she attended Tokyo Music School with Misa. Saiki and Miku (rhythm) just wanted to sing. Miku did not start learning guitar until after Band Maid formed, tutored by Kanami so around 2014, Saiki has been taking both guitar and piano lessons for around 2 years I think.
The Maids are back in May playing Daytona Florida and Ohio in a couple of music festivals to celebrate their 10th anniversary of the original 5 members.
!Sorpresa grande!, Verygood 😎. Yes, Band Maid is fire in live, You need to hear more from Band Maid 👌. Listen: Choose me Play Onset (instrumental) in live Dice and more of Band Maid 🔥🔥 Saludos amigos 😎
alrighty then, I am from West Ky. I'm so old that when I fart, I check for dust. I love BAND-MAID. The music they make just makes me smile. It's awesome. Check out the live video for Manners/BLACK HOLE. It's two songs that are totally different in types of rock. I found these girls by watching reaction videos. The best description I heard for Manners was from a South African lady who said "that's a proper rock song". Black Hole is in my opinion more chaotic but it really shows the bands range.
I've dusted my pants 1,000 times in the last two years since I found them! Smells like big things are about to happen. Opening for gnr, now tlrs. I hope they sell out hard rock stadium sooner than later! I need them in south Florida. Band maid, the warning and nemophila. Greatest show on earth!!!
I saw them in San Fransisco last Oct for the first time and they were Awesome. As far as this song and their wish in general, they want to be heard around the world. In the MV for this song everyone's head turns into the Band Maid logo. You know go to new places, see new faces and say Hello, Hello Hello.

I think we have 3 more Maidiacs in the RU-vid community. They may have mentioned the pigeon hole. If you study the band you will know what I am talking about. PO. Check out Freedom live if you want more drum solos.
They are the #1 Rock/Meatl band in Japan!! Miku Kabato (red flower) is the band founder and the lyricist! Did you catch where MISA switches from using her pick to slapping. There is recent concert still available on live stream from the Tokyo Gardens until Feb.8. NEXT - "Freedom"
I'm 56 and live in Enterprise Alabama. Spent 25 years playing and writing in Nashville and 10 years playing in Los Angeles when I was real young. Would've said LA but I didn't want you to think Lower Alabama. 😏 This Band is as good as any band ever in their own way. What they do they do very well. Band Maid forever! Rock on Old fogeys. Takes one to know one 😊😎🤘✌️🔥
awesome reaction guys! I think you would enjoy the live version of their song "freedom" it has a great drum solo and all the other good things. But honesly their catalog is over 100 songs and none of them are bad. The live versions are usually superior to the studio tracks.
Enjoy your reaction to these talented ladies. Their musicianship is phenomenal. Their energy is addicting and their charm is infectious. Been listening to music for a bit. Grew up listening to the Beatles, Stones, Hendricks, CCR, Allman Brothers, Skynyrd, Aerosmith, Boston, KISS, Van Halen, Molly Hatchet, Rush, AC/DC, SRV, GnR, etc. Have been a huge fan of Band Maid since 2015. Don't speak or know Japanese, but I let the language of music connect me with their songs and vibe. They are incredible and stand up there with some of the great music I've know over the years. Us Maidiacs welcome you! Enjoy your future Servings. Masters and Princesses! Enjoy your journey down the "Pigeon Hole". FYI - The lead guitarist for Band Maid Kanami is a huge fan of Carlos Santana.
just subbed..Great "reaction" video. I loved that you didnt focus too much on the language and just enjoyed the musicality of this Great Rock/metal band. Im old school rock and it really is a put off when someone says "I really wished I knew what they was singing" ... like so many of my favorite rock bands of the past I never really understood what they was singing about but that didnt keep me from loving those old "classics" (i.e. in a Gadda da vida, Immigrant song, locomotive breath, aqualung, etc). Thank You p.s. I loved the guys facial expression during the song!!
Many Japanese bands and artists mix English into their songs. This is very common in Japanese music. Band-maid have many great songs! Please do more Band-maid! Another Japanese band that you should check out is Scandal. I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs.
Next reaction VOICE OF BACEPROT _"Enter Sandman Metalica cover VOB BAND ROCK METAL 3 HIJABERS from 🇮🇩 VOB LIVE full set IN FRANCE TRANS MUSICALES IN RENNES 2021 👍🤟🤟🤟
Discovered this brilliant band in 2016; and that was the beginning of a (one-sided) beautiful friendship. These ladies are absolutely flawless - splendid songbook, awesome musicianship, fantastic live performances. And the miracle thing is: they are still getting better and better.
Love watching people on their trip down the pigeon hole that is the best live band in the world aka band maid! love everything they do, saw them live in Seattle this past oct. AMAZING!
Great reaction! Loved watching the dude with the security shirt, if you just follow his facial expressions in the reaction that's all you need, hes legit dumbfounded, And so was I and I have seen this video 500 times! Love everyone in the Band Maid Fandom!
Enjoyed the reaction guys! Our Maids never fail to serve up the goods as they dominate our hearts, minds and souls! The first listen of this is always a stunner and it takes a few repeated viewings to process The Gap and simply appreciate the incredible music Band-Maid is producing. 🤩 Next try: - “Freedom” - official live video (has a longer drum 🥁 solo) pure joy Then - “ Manners / Black Hole” - official live video Enjoy the journey with the Pigeon Maid (Rhythm Guitarist/Backing Vocals - Miku - pronunced me-coo) and her band of four geniuses! Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🥁🎸🎼😀✌🏼
Old Fogey here in Nort Cackalacky. I like to say their lyrics are "hybrid". Band-Maid has several songs in full English. Now on to "FREEDOM" LIVE from the same show. BTW- The hole you can fall in with Band-Maid is a "Pigeon Hole"....you'll find out as you go.
Raleigh NC here..... Voracious fab since 2019. I LOVE seeing people seeing Band-Maid for the first time. Almost always the same reaction. Eyes and mouths wide open in amazement LOL
Nice reaction guys. For a nice example of some of the range of song styles that these incredible women offer I would suggest their live video “Manners/Black Hole”. Two very different songs played back to back in their live show. New sub and cheers from West Texas 😎🤘🏻
I saw them live in Seattle Oct 12th that is exactly what they sound like. (Videos up) Domination was the finale. I recommend 'Dice' or 'Choose Me' or 'Play'.
For the record, when the girls go up to the drummer, they are making hengao faces (weird faces) at her to try to throw her off the beat. It never works. 🙂
This song is from "BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION TOUR - Shinka" held by BAND-MAID at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14, 2020 Please subscribe to their channel (if you haven't): ru-vid.comvideos Setlist: 1-Rinne 2-Blooming 3-Screaming 4-Dilemma 5-glory 6-FREEDOM 7-Choose me 8-PAGE 9-Mirage 10-catharsis 11-Bubble 12-The Dragon Cries 13-I can't live without you. 14-TIME 15-Wonderland 16-alone 17-DICE 18-Don't you tell ME 19-Play 20-DOMINATION 21-endless Story
Nearly 130 songs in their catalogue, 50ish MV on their YT channel. You have a way to go down the "Pigeon" hole, even though 2023 is the year of the rabbit on the Chinese lunar calendar. "Nipponglish" is the term a Spanish YT reactor suggested is the mix of language for Japanese/English, like "Spanglish," Po! All in all, the theme of Band Maid lyrics are up-beat, and they want to dominate our hearts with their music. Btw, BM will be performing at Daytona Int'l Speedway at the "Welcome to Rockville 2023" music festival on May 18, 2023. Kinda in your neck of the woods, Po! Great reaction!
Guys, its time for you guys to look to J-Rock/Metal Bands, check also another TOP all female Japanese Metal Bands LOVEBITES - new song Judgement Day, other live songs Set The World On Fire, Break The Wall, The Hammer Of Wrath, Holy War.. NEMOPHILA - new songs Seize That Fate, ZEN, other songs Dissension, Revive, Raitei... HANABIE - songs We Love Sweets, NEET GAME, Pardon Me.. ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Blaze, Church.... MAXIMUM THE HORMON, MARY'S BLOOD, BRIDEAR, TRIDENT-JAPAN, SCANDAL, GACHARIC SPIN...
Most will probably suggest 'Freedom' LIVE next, which is great. It has an awesome drum solo. But I'm going to suggest 'Real Existence' LIVE. It's from a totally different tour. So if you want a song with a different vibe go for that.
Whoa! You fell down this Pigeonhole real quick. I just watched your first reaction. You were truly in awe, as we all were the first time we heard the Maids. This songs is basically an anthem for BM. Their intentions are World Domination, and this song clearly states it. Miku (Founder, 2nd lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, small pigeon, lyricist, PR spokespigeon, MC) had a quest to dominate the world with their music, and she is quickly achieving her goal. You wanna hear some drums, check out Freedom. You wanna hear Band-Maid do Band-Maid things, check out Manners/Black Hole. You'll quickly realize BM is a genre of their own.
Thanks y'all! I drove from Colorodo to Phoenix to see The Maids last October (and would do it again..and again...and...). I'm STILL smiling! Glad to have ya aboard the Band-Maid train, 'Bama! 🕊
Been listening to rock and metal for more than 50 years. These girls have become one of my favorite bands of all time. Their music just makes you happy when you hear them. So much talent.
LOVEBITES also recommends. HAGANE also recommends. （ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LCheI6-MWhY.html ） By all means, BABYMETAL too. （ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nx8IBcVjWno.html）
Careful...the 'pigeon hole' has greased sides...no way out. Its a fogey trap...because they bring back the old magic of rock, for me, and give 100% effort in creating every song. Enjoy the variety ❤🤘🤘🤘
Hey Guys! IMHO, Band-Maid is the best rock band in the world right now. There is another up and coming band that has a lot of Crossover fans with Band-Maid called The Warning. They recently met each other at the Aftershock festival in California and are mutual fans of each other. Please react to The Warning also. Start with one of these songs from their most recent (third) album called Error: "Disciple", "Money", "Evolve", "Error"(title track) or any other song, they don't have any bad songs. They are an old school Power trio of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico, ages 22, 20 and 18. You won't be disappointed! Thanks!

Hello guys, nice that you continue to follow Band-Maid. You will not regret it! Misa is an excellent bass player, she is the 'The Barefoot Assassin'. She has her solo in 'Onset live' another instrumantal! But next please Dice live or Freedom live. => BTW listened to your own music, this is great stuff! I like it very much!
Thank you so much for that. We always welcome our listener's critique and try to implement everyone's opinion as well as everyone's wishes into our own future projects. Thank you so much for listening to it and for your input.
Christy likes the bassist? Check out "Dice." I hope I spelled your name right. Translating between Japanese and English is difficult. The written language is part symbolic with Chinese roots (kanji) and part syllabic (katakana and hiragana). Words can be written differnt ways, and which characters are used imply how formal or casual it is. They can also use western letters to represent the language (rōmanji). Their syntax is quite different. Even the components are quite different. The cultural references are quite different, with a different history and religion. Many, many words in Japanese depend on context, so the meaning changes. Machine translators like google or deepl sometimes give a hallucinogenic tinge to their translations because they've guessed wrong. Most of the band use stage names: the lead guitarist and principle composer is Kanami Tōno, 遠乃 歌波 (Tōno Kanami in the Japanese style with family name first). 歌 = "song" and 波 = "wave". My account name refers to this. The rhythm guitarist, second singer, and principle lyricist is Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク = Kobato Miku), where 小 = "small" and 鳩 = "pigeon". She says "kuruppo" and "po" because that's the Japanese version of "coo". She's a bit loopy but she started the band so I guess she's entitled. Her lyrics are quite poetic and almost always include some English. They refer to themselves as "hard rock" but they've wandered into more progressive areas in their last few releases. Enjoy your trip through the pigeon hole. See, it's a joke because Kobato means "small pigeon" and also, this band is difficult to put into a pigeon hole. You'll see.
Oh, and they closed every (or almost every) show on their October tour with "Domination." They ended with a big "trash can" (you know, everybody just going nuts on the last chord), and Akane trying to fake them out for the final "final" chord. They have a lot of fun on stage and it makes their shows really enjoyable.
Great reaction My Friends. Next time go to 'Manners' ( MV or Live ). 'Manners' is classic rock with an intense taste of south sound. Mid pace, 'fat' rock with spectacular lyrics and an oustanding flow like a big river calm but strong and intense. Thanks
Welcome to Band-Maid. You won’t be disappointed. I’m subscribing to your channel to follow you down the rabbit hole. You have to check out “Freedom” next.
Well ok so if you don't know I'm sure you don't but they are going to be in Daytona peedway in late may if you want to try and see them DAYDREAMING is a must music video only it the best and it a pigeon hole not rabbit hole also saiki is the best at in ging with the mix of languages but seriously DAYDREAMING OK DAYDREAMING ONE OF THE greatest songs ever
Awesome band they are. The switching between languages during the vocals does throw us off a bit but its ok. We can always look up the lyrics afterword's. We'll check it out for sure.
If you want to experience their awesomeness from their earlier works, you could picking from their official channel: Thrill MV (their very 1st MV. The one that started it all) Alone MV (their 1st company approved song which they wrote themselves, prior to this, all songs were written for them) Rinne (one of their harder rocking song) Blooming (a masterpiece acknowledged by many) Influencer (their non-instrumental MV released just before From Now On) I actually wanted to list more but since you're going to their channel, just go wild there! They also have an alter ego known as Band-Maiko. They made their first appearance as an April Fool's joke. Try some of their songs as well. They are usually re-imagined tracks from their original catalogue but some are written specifically for Band-Maiko. Also, Miku has her side gig as Cluppo which features some "pop" songs. 😄
Right guys ( and gal ! ) - Lovebites ✅ Band Maid ✅ and next perhaps NEMOPHILA - another all female Japanese band that will hopefully blow your minds . Song suggestions from them - " Adabana " - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AxYiOwsu6wU.html - " Dissension " - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-26aMuahxz8c.html - " Revive " - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zmRmVc4u18w.html . They also do some MEAN covers inc. AC/DC , Stevie Ray Vaughn , Iron Maiden , Kiss etc etc
Your reaction is great as always! I believe the Band Maid is one of the best rock bands around these days. Please also react to Lovebites , Judgement Day. You already reacted to Holy War of the same band but you have not reacted since then. Lovebites is one of the best metal bands in the world , which are active presently . I think Judgement Day is one of the best metal songs that have been released in the last 10 years.
Band-Maid was a bucket list event of mine but having seen them live I tossed it out and will see when ever I can . They are an experience like I have never had before . Louisiana here and great reaction/review ty 👍👍👍👍👍
@@2ndhandsoulsmusic Scandal are a veteran all-female band that have been together for over 15 years. Their sound is more mellow/poppy than Band-Maid but they are absolute masters of their craft.

I never get tired of the look on the faces of new reactors to Band-Maid. Especially the ones who have musical knowledge and understand what they are listening to. If you haven't seen it go back and check out their reaction to From Now On. The look on those dudes faces, OMG Priceless!
@@2ndhandsoulsmusic 😂😂😂😂😂 I was referring to the look on your faces during your first reaction to From Now On by BM. Not to worry though, you are in very good company Wave Potter, Tank the Tech, Champ of Medium, Jules the Human, Drumroll Tony and Chase Carneson among many, many others have had that very same look. All of whom are RU-vid reactors that have a deeper understanding of Music beyond just being a fan of it. Now, if you are still interested in a good chuckle I can return with links if you are interested in what a few of those expressions are 😉
