Band Maid - HATE? (live) | First Time Music Reaction Video. 

There are two things why they are NOT most popular band in this planet or Top 3 band..a) they are NOT from Western World and b) they are women. That’s sad. They have it all..Passion Work Heart Talent. Been working in rockbusiness almost 30 years, seen few thousand gigs and seen all the major ones many times AND never seen better band than they are. They have it! They feel it. They got the GROOVE. Magical band, amazing musicians 💥🤘 Lovin’ Band-Maid ❤️ Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🤘

Over produced? We all watched the concert live. They are for real!

"Hate?" is one of the best "F*** Off" song I have heard in a long time. Saiki, their lead vocalist, not Miku their main lyricist, wrote the lyrics.She stated that she was pissed off at all the men who cheated on their spouses during the pandemic (including the husband of one of her good friends). So she vented! You need to pull up their lyrics to the song. They're brutal but funny. The reason there are so many pyrotechnics and the huge stage is that it was at their 10th Anniversary Tour finale in Yokohama last November. These incredibly talented, humble, and kind young women who adore their fans (and vice versa) usually play on a stage with a simple Band-Maid ribbon backdrop. They have played some stages with all the pyrotechnics, but most of their concerts are not like that. They are truly one of the best bands you'll ever see. I have been to two of their concerts and felt that the money and time I spent was WELL worth it. Another great Band-Maid song to react to is "Moratorium". The offical live video from their Zepp Tokyo Arena show is a good one to pull up and react to. "Moratorium" is one of the most liked songs from the band.

Most groups I get bored with after a couple weeks- I swear I’ll never get bored with BandMaid!

3:30 - BAND-MAID actually has no problem performing in smaller venues. This November 2023 performance at Yokohama Arena is an exception because it was celebrating their 10-year anniversary. Throughout their tours, they've happily performed at smaller venues like House of Blues, Crescent Ballroom, and Brighton Music Hall. Even with their phenomenal growth, they have no problem casually performing at music festivals (e.g. Lollapalooza 2023) or performing as an opening/supporting act for rock titans such as Slipknot, Incubus, and Guns N' Roses.

So watch it again with closed captions on. There will be no doubt what Saiki is saying.

The lead singer, Saiki, played piano and sang a solo song for the first time during this concert. The song was "Choose Me" and it really showed another aspect to this band!

This concert was a really big deal.....It was the 10 year anniversary concert and was the largest arena and crowd they have ever played. So they really went all out for this playing for 3 and 1/2 hours streaming it all over the world !!!!!! So in regard to how slick it was done you might now have some insight. And Band Maid does NOTHING half ass......this is the best current rock band on the planet !!!!!

Also regarding the production, this is the culmination of 10 years of Blood Sweat and Tears. They have definitely paid their dues and deserve this

Band Maid! 🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🍺🥴

when the maids play on their home field in Japan they typically do more stage effects this was from the last show in the 10th anniversary tour at the largest venue they ever played and was recoded for the dvd. when they tour the States they just show up with their instruments, costumes, a bottle of Jim Beam, a single black and white banner with their logo

"Hate?" was song 27 of a setlist 33 songs long. This is the biggest show Band-Maid had ever played. It was the Tour final of their tenth anniversary tour, they had been prepping and planning all year, and they pulled out all the stops for this 3-1/2 hour long concert. This show was a stretch goal for them, but Band-Maid always aims high, and they rarely miss. I saw them twice last May: in Detroit and in Columbus, Ohio. In Detroit they played a small club for an audience of maybe 900 people, playing on a small stage with no room for a drum riser, but they played a great show with just the club lighting and their Band-Maid logo drop was dragging the floor even as they hoisted it as high as they could. When Band-Maid saw that the club had a disco ball, they included it in one of their "breaks" and had fun with it. They put on a great show, they're amazing musicians with a huge catalog of well written songs, and they have a great sense of humor.

This is a huge show because it was their 10th Anniversary Tour Final. It was 3.5 hours long. Is there post on this? Ya, but I watched it LIVE from midnight until 3:30am and this is what it sounded like. I've seen them live 11 times and they sound like this live.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃Badass Bass Assassin. The best Live band on the planet right now in my opinion. 🤙🏽

This is a epic performance for the ages! Moral of the story, don't make Saiki mad at you, lol!

It can be hard to follow, but they have CC translations on a lot of their videos. Since you liked Manners, I think you would like Dragon Cries. It's very classic rock. Even produced by Tony Viscontii of Bowie fame

While there is no truly one representative song of Band Maid, you can always tell it's them. They are their own genre. Just like how you can tell if a song is a waltz you can tell it's Band Maid. After about 7 or 8 more songs you'll see what I mean

Yeah, sometimes their video editors get a little carried away but it’s ultimately not important because the excellence of the Maids music and performance always shines through no matter what. In all aspects of composition, instrumentation, arrangement, songwriting, orchestration, songwriting, playing and performance, the Maids are second to none on planet Earth 🌍 these days. You keep going and you’ll undoubtedly agree. Next? Something a little different - “Daydreaming” - OMV Take care and rock on 🤘🏼🔥🌏🎸🥁🎤🎼😎✌🏼

All of the Yokohama clips have captions. This was their tenth anniversary celebration show, so way more bells and whistles than usual.

The CC button is there on most videos for people who only speak English ( or American 😉 ) - the lyrics are anything but weak ! It's really not " over produced " - it's just that live gigs have moved on a bit since the 1970s 🤣

This video is from a one-man show that lasted three and a half hours and performed 33 songs.

Ummm... I haven't been to many concerts but any band (Eastern or Western) that are in an arena type setting will have a massive show -- lights, etc... So, it's not really unique in my opinion. When Band-Maid goes on tour abroad, the full show does not travel with them as they perform in smaller venues. I'm sure when they command arena/stadium shows in the future, it'll be a full production.

Good reaction. What "over the top" have you ever seen Pink Floyd concerts. It was the final show of their 10th year anniversarry at the largest capacity venue they have played to date. Why shouldn't they celebrate in style. Also if you turn on the CC you would see the lyrics

The reaction was good.I think it would have been a lot more interesting if you had displayed the subtitles and you could understand the meaning of the lyrics😉

You shoulda had the subtitles on. The lyrics in this song are savage af.

Be sure to watch it with the closed captions turned on. 😁😁😁 If you want something a lot slower and beautiful watch ABOUT US, a love song to the fans that was an online performance during the pandemic lockdown. It's a whole different side of the band that may impress you. Yes, they do a lot of hard rock, but they cover a lot of other styles in their music. The other, rhythm, guitarist is Miku who actually formed the band. She was going to be the singer but felt her voice wasn't right for the music so they recruited Saiki, lead voice, from the same management company. Miku also learned how to play guitar later and is now a wicked rhythm player. There are also some great acoustic sets out there and the last song they released, called BESTIE, was in collaboration with Incubus and is very mellow also.

I liked the large screen. Thanks for that. I would recommend that you click the CC button to get the lyrics.

There are captions in English on just about every MV on their YT channel. Although I do recommend that people just watch and listen to Band-Maid MV's as a whole and to try it with the lyrics the 2nd time. Saiki's voice is strong and melodic enough to basically be a fifth instrument anyway but reading the lyrics will often mean missing the brilliant playing on display.

You really need to hear Dice, Warning Blooming & Shambles to start.

Any Maids serving (as they call their songs) ROCKS!!! Try Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage (the label was about drop them when this happened), Freedom, Onset, From now on, Hate? Are all great tracks Welcome Princes and Princesses to the 5 Band-Maid members are: SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. 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 front women... or front men! MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku), "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals and lyricist. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. She couldn’t play when she formed the band and was tutored by Kanami. KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 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 is more! AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 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. 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! There all in their early 30s now

This show was their biggest show ever many of the videos you might find are in maybe 300 person venues maybe $700 but definitely not on this scale I saw them live here in Chicago at the house of blues and it was a very small venue with no bells and whistles just them performing on stage. But when you reach 10 years maybe you want to spruce things up a bit and play in those arenas that are usually marked for out of country superstars or the Japanese pop who are much more popular in Japan then hard rock and metal bands are.

Great reaction and your reaction is your reaction/opinion. Some, sadly, may take some offense, but hey it's how you feel. They are the real deal live. Their sound live is amazing! Their energy is through the roof! And their stage interaction and MC are so fun to see. I've flown to see them multiple times. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

F’n love Band-Maid 🕊️🍌❄️🥷🎸

You should have turned on the CC. The lyrics are pretty brutal to whoever it is that she hates. But they have all kinds of songs. Tell us what you're into so we can steer you to the song you'll like.

Thanks for the reaction and comments. These ladies are arguably the best live rock band on the planet and most certainly the most likeable. As accomplished as they are as musicians, they're equally as humble and selfless...characteristics that makes them uniquely adoring in the world of rock. And yes, they certainly are the real deal! Want less flashy stage presence?...check out their white room music videos or their acoustic concert. Cheers!

The video has English lyrics in the CC.

Gorgeous ! What's better than a good interruption during a guitar solo?

always run captions -- if you got them

Crushing tune

Great reaction and yes, they excel at live shows. The singer does play piano but has only sung one song while playing play and it was at this concert. Most of Band-Maid videos have CC and the translations are very good. They toured the US is 22 and 23 and sold out all by one show. I doubt if they will be coming this year and probably Europe next year.

The guitar-bass duel is something you will only see live. They often add to a song when playing it live, like a longer intro or a duel like this. A lot of fans have complained their videos have too many camera cuts. Not unique to the Japanese though.

Some suggestions Mr 😉 From now on MV Onset live Puzzle live Warning MV Blooming MV Domination live Without holding back MV You live from Yokohama arena, Don't You tell me live Choose Me MV ...You can find lot of pearl from they repertoire My all time favorite Puzzle,You, Matchless gum, Unfair game, Decided by myself, Arcadia girl...and don't forget Real existence live and,and,and... Enjoy

There were subtitles. You just didn't notice because it's hard to pay attention to both the music and the lyrics, especially the first time around. To me I enjoy their music even without knowing but I'm not a lyrics person. But now you know they can really play!

A bit weird reaction. Strange comments. Did you think Miku was some ones daughter? (5:50) Because she has maid outfit? The band name is BAND-MAID for some reason. Think about it. BTW - Miku is founder of the band. And - what is "over the top"? Small comments now and then that are kind of sarcastic, without any obvious reason at all.

I think after you listen to this again with CC on , you might want to check out the raw , but not fan cam version of Dice and Hate at Lollapolooza 2023.

Damn the thumbnail 😂😂

Saiki the lead vocals had her debut on piano in this show. If you are are able to see it it's a amazing performance. 6:16 6:16

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Has anyone pointed out to use closed captions!!!!😅

Love ur philly accent

Re the singer "Saiki" does she play an instrument, hmm no, not that anyone knew of, but, well, to everyone's amazement and surprise at this concert for the first time ever in front of 12,000 or more fans and live streamed world wide via the internet, she walked up the rampart to the stage after a brief mid concert acoustic set with the lead guitarist "Kanami" Joked with the audience and then sat down in front of a grand piano that had been wheeled on only moments before to sing and play solo to a hushed crowd and she nailed it. Takes a lot of kahunas to do that live since she'd never done it, ever! before that night.

For a slower song try Daydreaming Official Music Video or Wonderland Official Live Video.

Saiki plays guitar and piano.

mozt soothing japanese artist i've come across so far is Uru

Not a negative reply . Many need to understand the west needs to catch up to east . This is not over the top . When a few tiny women can roll up most 200 pounders in the west some thought needs to be given to the mediocrity of music ( not all ) in western countries . This pertains to all genres .

Dramatic stage lighting is expected. The rapid jump cuts in POV is a sore point for some, me included. I understand the effect that technique produces, just wish it wasn't quite so abrupt. The lyrics of this song, written by lead singer Saiki, is very straightforward. But most of their song's lyrics are written by 2nd vocalist Miku. She is anything but simple.

Hey, I agree with you 100% on the "negative" comment about the constant flashing from one thing to the next with whoever keeps doing Band Maid videos. Let the band be the act and not the psycho editor. Which is actually not as bad in the live videos. The studio versions are massively annoying. All of which speaks to an added reason why the only way to watch this band is LIVE. Everything live. This is true, in fact, with every Japanese band. The producers all seem to do great jobs with live videos in Japan.

If you like instrumentation from the band players and want to check out BabyMetal from Japan, here a specific song that highlights the band front and center (don't let the name fool you, they sell out arenas and made the metal/rock scene in Japan explode and have birth to all these other bands). Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live

As huge of a maidiac as I am I agree 100% regarding the editing. Too many quick cuts! Let’s linger a little bit, especially when 1 of them are showcasing their talent while the others pull back some.

Try Bestie, it's in English. You might want to put on the sub titles, because their English is not that good. But it is a great song and video.

No editing involved here. There's nothing here that you don't see with big name acts out of the west regarding the light shows and what not so it's hardly unique to Japan. This is actually tame compared to many big acts I've seen from America and Europe.

In my opinion, “Hate” is not my favorite song. Possibly not yours either. That gives me confidence to recommend something from my top ten Band Maid playlist. Straightforward, melodic rock and roll that will feel familiar and be brand new at the same time. Pick any one, or two, and if you are disappointed in any way, I will eat my Tiny Hat 🎩 1) DICE, OMV 2) Moratorium, LIVE 3) Blooming, OMV 4) Freedom, LIVE 5) From Now On 6) Onset, LIVE 7) The non-fiction days, OMV 8) Play, LIVE 9) Puzzle, LIVE 10) Thrill, OMV

Whoa 2 reactions to band maid,and both completley different,CC is available for this MV so then you will know what F they are singing about,no i didnt enjoy your reaction.

Lyrically weak 😂

Hints of xenophobia and misogyny.

Gotta love Saiki's epic, "Don't give a shit no more!"
