Thank you for the shout out! I know it's hard to pronounce. Sayonakidori translates to Nightingale in english if that helps. You should check out the acoustic version! I believe the drummer Akane sings the backup vocals on that one! Appreciate you! Take care!
Major props to Miku! For a lady who didn't even know how to play a guitar when she started the band, this is so fun to see how good she's become. Huge respect for all she means to the band!
Miku's most challenging song, so far. "Time", and "Rock In Me" are two more Miku sung songs that are excellent, also! I'll add in a up vote for the acoustic version of the song!
I agree with you, if they're using samples to make the song better then they're doing it right! I love the part at the climax (5:03) where the girls are just going ham and you are shaking your head! The end of the song is so freaking good! 🖤
Yes, like all the songs, there is a normally near invisible sequenced track (not a triggered sample) with a click track. That track usually contains some synth, trap beats, occasional production effects, or gang vocals. There's also an octave below on the lead vocals. The tuning is Drop D and it is a Dorian style D minor, but with some borrowed chords.
yeah!! great comment; know it;) imagin if they slip ...play to fast or somthing...its always in my mind...dont know why;) -they whould messtup the song;p
It seems Kanami composes the progression, lead counter melodies, rhythm guitar and the vocal melodies. MISA is somewhat on her own with basic inputs from Kanami on bass. I'm not sure if Kanami does vocal harmonies - that might be between Saiki and Miku (or Miku and Miku on this song!)
Its just 1 voice,, if you follow band maid for a long time you will notice that miku made a mistake with the lyrics,, if they put miku"s live voice over a recording you will notice the mistake on the lyrics..😂😂😂,, and the last guitar solo from.kanami had a mistke also..😂😂
The only sample used is for Saiki’s talking voice-over during the breakdown section. They are absolutely playing everything else you hear…smh. This is a real band of real musicians who play their music; and do it exceptionally well. The Maids love to rehearse and are one of the hardest working bands on the planet. 🌎 Saiki sits this one out and lets Miku sing lead vocals. They usually have one “Miku song” per album.
@@bobespirit2112 I've listened to it about a million times. Saiki's voice is deeper, and the way she pronounces stuff in English is different from the way Miku does. You can contrast it with Saiki's English monologue in Bubble.
@@daaaaaaveYou know what, you’re right. We had a discussion about it on the Band-Maid Community Discord and @Blooddrunk found a Japanese magazine interview where Miku says it’s her. Many of us would have bet our houses it was Saiki!! From the article; “Kobato: The Japanese name for the bird called a nightingale is "Sayonakidori" po. It is written in kanji as "Sayatonakidori". There is a line in the interlude where Kobato seems to be speaking in English, which is a passage from "Romeo and Juliet" po. The nightingale also appears in "Romeo and Juliet", so I used that for the title po. I think it will be more interesting if you listen to it knowing that po.”
@@bobespirit2112 Appreciate you taking the time to dig into it. I struggle to hear Saiki in it at all, but I'm weirdly sensitive to voices. It's difficult to put my finger on what it is, but it's worth noting that Miku kind of plays a character on stage and in interviews, and if you're listening for like her omajinai time voice, that's not what she sounds like here. I think some people mentioned that she sounded different from what they thought when they watched the Yokohama Arena documentary, so that might be worth looking at.
This song was written by Kanami to challenge Miku's singing. Unfortunately this is my least favorite Band-Maid song because although Kanami heart is in the right place, this song is way out of Miku's range. That high note she hits just isn't in her comfort zone, challenge or not. It just doesn't sound good IMHO. Send the heat I can take it. Make no mistake, I love Miku to death but not in this song. The acoustic version sounds great though.
I heard them play this live in person and there was a backing track but no samples for the drums and guitars. So, for this video, I think someone combined a studio recording with the live video. You can see that Miku's lips don't match the words perfectly in time. And the video of the drums and guitars don't perfectly match the music. Live in person, Miku's vocals, while great, were not as as perfectly in pitch. For a while there was an all live version from another concert online as well as a version of that same concert with the studio audio swapped in. You could really tell the difference. I love Miku's live performance on stage but she does benefits quite a bit from pitch correction in their studio work. Not a slam, the best singers in the world use pitch correction in studio work.
