BAND-MAID / Protect You | This is why I LOVE this band | BOSS Coffee and JROCK  

Shreddawg, thank your reaction to Band-Maid’s Protect You. Every time I listen to something new from Band-Maid, especially like this song, it takes several listens to process all the depth of the composition. But on first take - wow, loved it.!!!!!

I have finally decided, like Satriani, Santana, Stevie Ray V, and others, BAND-MAID will live forever. There has never been such before and wont be after they are gone but the memories and the songs will remain. For now, I am having a nice grin, Band Maid, another new hit! right before i get bored, they come out with new, i love these girls so much!! Excellent (and new sounds), of course MY fav moment is: 03:40 LOVE IT!!! WOW Kanami was playing 128th notes!!! too cool!! also note the lyrics, whoa.. that is some current attitude in the lyrics and seems like a promise that we will get through things, 'cant fight it, but i can protect you', etc ou, la la la la la la, la..la...la la!!😄 kinda reminds me of the crazy singing in influencer. LOL Good review Shred! I am so glad to see your really cranking the videos out, sorry i have been away. will try to catch you on next. BAND MAID ROCKS!! um that is obvious, lol...

BandMaid at their finest. Five pillars preforming in unison. Vocals are stellar. Kanami is on fire 🔥 Misa is killin it on base and those drums are bangin. And yes I had to listen twice 😃 love it 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

The Maids definitely brought the freaking Thunder and then some thank you Shreddawg

2:56 The name Kanami is not “加奈美”, but “歌波”. It’s easier to remember if you remember the kanji character itself: “歌波” = “歌” (song) + “波” (wave)

Hey Shreddawg! It's great to see you again, especially reacting to Band Maid again. I suspect we will probably getting new videos from the Maids pretty soon since their new album is coming out sometime in August, the last I heard. I'm really hoping they decide to tour to promote the new album as well. Please take care and have an amazing week.

Digging your reaction Dawg. Long live the maids!

“organized chaos!” I’m feelin it, I’ll have to use that one lol

Ouh là là, Band-AniMaid! Thx Grendizer U... and you, too, Shreddawg! 🤘🤖

That rhythm guitar after the lead guitar solo! Miku-chan is so Good Now!

Who knew that ooh la la was a war cry?

バンドメイドの皆は、それぞれの素晴らしい音楽で！素晴らしい音楽世界を作ってるよね～と！、、すごいですよね～。

Hey, bro. Once again, apologies for not replying sooner to your reaction for Protect You from our beloved maids. As with Bestie, Protect You seems to have divided opinion across the board, with some proclaiming it yet another banger, which can rightfully take it's place in their discography amongst all the other bangers, and others who have been either lukewarm or not quite as emotionally invested in the song. While I do happen to enjoy the song as a standalone single, I'm more eager to hear it within the context of the album. Personally, I would have loved it had they shaken up their production and mixing process a little rather than sticking with the same sonic template that they appear to have favoured on most of their recorded output over the last few years. Minor nitpick over, I'm still looking forward to hearing Epic Narratives in full upon release.✌️❤️🤘

Interesting enough, i saw it mentioned on Reddit that this was recorded back 3 years ago during the same session as Sense and Corallium. Seems like Influencer may have gone down at the same time.

One for the algorithm. Have you heard the new(ish) Glim Spanky song? It’s called “Fighter”. I’d also recommend you check out Tokyo Syoki Syodo. There’s a rumor that the lead singer has a bad habit of taking off her shirt and crowd surfing. Check out the video that starts with them sitting by a pool in beach chairs to find out if it’s true.

Shreddawg, did you know that "Ou lala, Ou lala" isn't French. It's Japanese for "We're gonna kick your ass!"

Kanami-My Hero My Goddess 🔥❤️

A new Okyuji favorite song was born, PO!🕊💕

another anime trac to add to their collection

Ooo la la ... sorry I am late ... your debuts happen after my bed time ;) . They always do a really great job on their anime contracted music. Its funny that they spend even more time nowadays featuring MISA MISA MISA. I could not offer a criticism if you were paying me ;) .

I've seen quite a few negative comments on this song such as it sounding like every other anime songs by them, or sounds like Unseen World. I think this one is very unique indeed. The vocal melody has very traditional feel. Reminiscent of old middle-eastern or enka, they even used Koto (one of those Band-Maiko might have used), Saiki's ascending vocal run in the second verse. Saiki going low. I mean she went as low in outro of manners, alone, why why why and more. It's her falsetto that's getting stronger and more colourful (and powerful) in my personal opinion. And Miku is a brilliant rhythm guitarist now, thanks to Kanami's rhythmically tricky composition style 😂

It’s 歌波, not 加奈美
