Yeah. It’s only 2 years late.I was on that line seeing them for the first time. A great show. Why is this video from a Fox Channel that only release it now?
I love it when they say, "we will try to do our best". It's that attitude, individually and as a group, that is so genuine and honest, the frosting on the cake of genius music. Makes me Love Band Maid more. ❤
Band Maid🎀the greatest band on earth. These ladies never sweat, they just ooze talent! They blend pop, punk, jazz, prog, rap, rock, metal, and blues together seamlessly, producing a sound that is...unique! I love this band soooo much!!!😸
I am a big fan of Band Maid from San Francisco, California USA. I think Band Maid is one of the new wave of hard rock that keeps this genre alive. They are one the best and at the top of their game. IMHO, they possess the same qualilties of a group like Guns N Roses over 30 years ago and are making an impact on a similar level. Audiences outside of their home country are embracing them and this appearance on a NYC station is an extremely important aspect of that growth. Thank you for having them on.
I am so happy this was finally posted. Experiencing the 'Thrill' of seeing them for the first time in Boston and meeting so many people will forever live in my heart. This band has already achieved their goal of World Domination by bringing so many wonderful people together from all around the globe. Great interview. Thank you po. 😃
I was at that show on 10/28/22 and it was an amazing experience, which I repeated two days later at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey, and once again in 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm 77 and I hope they come back while I'm still able to enjoy the experience. They are true ambassadors to the globe with their music and tremendous energy.
If anyone out there hasn't checked this band out yet, do not let the maid outfits fool you. Their musicianship is top notch, and songwriting borderline miraculous, in that virtually no song is skipped when I listen to them. They're very uplifting even when going very hard. They are hard rock, but meander in and out of genres in a way that we're not used to here - it keeps every song from getting stale, so very re-listenable. They can also get quite technical and complex (Check out Giovanni, From Now On and Black Hole.) Mostly though - they brighten my day every day. During the worst of COVID, they were a great mood lifter in our collective time of need. So give them a try - they've been around for a long time, so have a zillion songs, with many different styles and sounds. They will brighten your day, and maybe your life.
Yeah.. nearly skipped them early 2019 or so? Saw the name and foolishly asumed it was some generic Jpop/rock. Then I saw this thumbnail of a girl with dark hair, black dress and a big 5 string Fender-style bass. Thought: "Why not?" and got gobsmacked when she was popping and slapping the bass! LIVE!! Ridiculously talented band!
A few years ago, RU-vid showed me a thumbnail of two women in maid outfits holding guitars, and I thought, 'There's no way I'm watching that,' so I ignored it for about two weeks. But two weeks later, I finally gave in and clicked the thumbnail-and my life completely changed.
I am a Japanese rock fan who has loved KISS and Aerosmith since I was a child, and I am really proud that Band-Maid, a Japanese girl, is now so admired in the United States, the home of rock, where KISS and Aerosmith were born. They are the best rock band ! You wanted the best , you got the best , the hottest band in the world , Band-Maid!!! 😄😄😄
Thank you. The Ladies of Band-Maid are five of the most hardest working, polite and genuine women in music currently. They are an example of dedication, skill and talent. And I thank the Creator every day for bringing them and their music into my life. Their music has reignited my own love of music, which had been buried under years of pap from "Top 40" radio stations. They opened my ears and my eyes to music from all over the world. Thank you Miku, Saiki, Kanami, MISA and Akane.
Videos like this one just make me love ❤️ these phenomenal ladies even more. I'm a very proud "MAIDIAC!" Much love ❤️ and respect to BAND-MAID. Thank you for all of the phenomenal music and entertainment you've provided to us MAIDIAC'S over the years, and may it continue for generations to come. 🎶🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁🎶❤️🙏🫶
Really nice interview; the idea of Band-Maid with an orchestra is actually really nice; as far as I know Kanami has experience in writing classical pieces so maybe it would be an interesting project for her to write classical elements to some of their songs.
Thank you to everyone who made this happen. No real revelations, but all Band-Maid is good Band-Maid. They are my favorite musical group of all time, as everyone who knows me is tired of hearing lol! It's not just the music either...they are my favorite BAND, as in a group of quirky, talented people who come together to support each other around a common vision and journey. The music would be enough even if they never acknowledged their fans at all, but the fact that they are such sweet humans and are gracious enough to include us on this epic adventure - in so many ways - means the world po! Maidiac for life
Band-Maid has been my favorite band for many years now, they are just incredible in every way. I saw them live in both 2022 and 2023. Thanks for sharing!!
If anyone can be "open" and "guarded" at the same time, it's Band Maid. It's a huge and often scary world out there,but these ladies ooze with sincerity and talent. If any one can achieve World Domination on their terms, it will be Band Maid ! ❤️
awesome! Good to see this finally go public, thanks for your hard work on this, love it as i told you the first time I saw it and was fortunate enough to get to provide some early feedback on it! Thank you for trusting me to be a part of this epic interview video. :)
I get to know BAND-MAID thanks to The Warning and what a awesome band they are. They are so talented in each of their instruments. It would be incredible if I ever have the chance to attend one of their shows 🔥🤘🇨🇴
Kudos to Fox *5*, but I still gotta say, "What took so freakin' long?" Ten years Band Maid has been knocking it out of the park, creating an awesome new genre all their own, with hard rocking bangers and tender sweet ballads to the music scene, inspiring a gazillion YT reaction videos, and just now getting some serious recognition? I think the US music companies are scared of these petite Japanese maids who kick it harder than 99% of US bands today. Move over copy and paste bands, these girls are the real deal and can outplay anyone with their instruments. It's time for radio to stop playing the same old top 40 over and over ad nauseam, get over prejudice of the lyrics being a mix of Japanese and English, and give this band some well-deserved airtime. For those who are being introduced to the Band Maid, don't be put off by Saiki's shy demure expression during the interview. She's a powerhouse as lead singer. I wouldn't be surprised if all the girls were exhausted and perhaps interviewed early in the morning or late at night.
A great overview of what they can do and the effect they can have on people! Thank you for putting the different clips from shows, videos, and reactors into it.
Love ❤️ Band-Maid theses amazingly talented beautiful ladies I saw them live for the first time last year and it was for the 10 year anniversary show and I was blown away was one of the best concert 🎵 ever! Misa Misa Misa is my inspiration for learning the bass guitar I really wanna let her know how much she is amazing 🤩 at playing bass hopefully one day I can get to tell her that after our concert I didn’t sleep all night I was still excited couldn’t believe that I was at the Band-Maid concert and just how incredible the people were too we having fun taking etc look forward too seeing what theses amazing ladies have for us in 2025! Band-Maid forever thx for sharing this with awesome 👏 😊🤘🇯🇵 Canada 🇨🇦 loves Band-Maid too ❤😊🤘
@@RyanMear same here I use to play guitar etc but cause of Misa Misa Misa I’ve been leering bass for the last few years loving it too I just love her way of playing she incredible! Love Band-Maid amazingly talented beautiful ladies eh 😊🤘
Babymetal was here in Brazil this week, 10/20 and 10/21, we never imagined that one day this could happen, now our biggest dream would be for Band-Maid to come to Brazil. We are anxiously waiting for that day. Brazil loves Band-Maid very much.
Surely band-maid follow the path of Babymetal. It's because of Babymetal that I know band-maid. Babymetal opens the international doors for Japanese band.
For perspective on BAND-MAID’s progression. After three years as a band they were finally allowed to release their first self written songs. They had to clean their own combat clothes after performances. Wireless connections have been added to the guitars. MAIDIT is now the management company name for being self managed, making them virtually autonomous. Congratulations from a life long Maidiac.
Do yourself a favor. Pick any popular video and you'll understand why people who love music and musicians adore this band. Humble yet powerful. Hard rocking yet so diverse. Creativity and wit, just like their clever name.
Awesome interview. It was such a loooong wait. 😂 But it was worth the wait. We are all assuming there was much more to this interview, but I'll happy take what we can get. Bravo Joe! Bravo Ryan! BTW...I would have fainted if they were all looking at me as I asked a question.😆 I know Joe mentioned he dropped his phone, but all I could think of was..."was Ryan or Alan so nervous they dropped something?"😂😂😂 PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
I'll be seeing Band-Maid for the 9th and 10th time next month in Japan. Was fortunate to be able to see 3 dates each on their 2022 and 2023 U. S. tours, plus the 10th anniversary tour finale in Yokohama and Day of Maid concert in Tokyo this May. My favorite band and a fantastic talented, creative and fun group of musicians. I wish them every success, they deserve it. World domination, po!
日本からARIGATO 🙏FOX5!🦊🤘それからUS Maidiacs!🥰 彼女たちは日本を代表する素晴らしいバンドです。彼女たちは姉妹のようにお互いを尊重し音楽を楽しんでいます。これからも皆で応援しましょう！いつも海外の人達のBAND MAIDのリアクション動画を見るのが好きです。😍 From 🇯🇵 ARIGATO 🙏FOX5!🦊🤘And US Maidiacs!🥰 They are a great band representing Japan. They respect each other like sisters and enjoy music. Let's continue to support them! I always love watching overseas peoples reaction videos of BAND MAID.😍
07.50 Kanami 😍🔥 Oh man.. Band-Maid..Greatest band of our time. They have it all..Passion Work Heart Talent 🤘🔥 Magical band, amazing musicians, best friends. Band-Maid forever 🤘🔥❤️🇫🇮
It's great that you Americans are discovering Band-Maid, but don't forget that there are a lot of really cool bands out there. The Japanese music scene is diverse and vibrant with new bands popping up all the time. And the quality of music is always very high!
@@joeseconi250 You are entirely welcome sir! Please keep up the great work and continue to help bring these bands and their music to the forefront! Always look forward to hearing from you.
5 top tier musicians in one band, doesn't seem fair does it? But after 11+ years and over 100 songs to their credit they are still running with the same lineup, very little to no ego there, none of that rock star ego crap about 1 person carrying the band, all that matters is their friendship and the music, that was a fine interview
Thank you for this interview. This will be a great introduction to casual listeners or even those on the edge/undecided or anyone who enjoys good music. Good list of questions and I like how this was all presented. Dare I say they are a fan of the band?😊🕊️
Question...just for clarification. How are commenter's continually getting it wrong? I comment often and would like to make sure I'm not offending people.
Glad this was finally released. Many thanks to Ryan for asking an actual insightful question. Though I was also happy to hear they were open to performing in front of an orchestra. That would be awesome!
Sugoi, so this is the interview that we've been waiting for? Subarashii I'm so glad that it's finally being allowed to be seen and heard, for putting this video up, argatou gozaimasou.
Finally we can watch the interview... better late than never! lol As usual i love how Miku manages the interview and do basically all the talking. She's clearly the boss pigeon ぽ Ps: props to Ryan Mear for being able to ask a question for Kanami without fainting in the process, i don't think i would have been able to do it lol
I love Band Maid, would love to see them live... I do wish they'd remember Europe, and when I say Europe not just the capital cities, wish they would do what The Warning do when they visit Europe and play lots of venues big and small.
