Mr Rock n Roll, you are the most entertaining, most hilarious reactor on youtube!! And when it's Band-Maid and you lose mind (brain hole), it's the best!! Thanks for the reaction dude LOL!! 🤣
"Love me, love me, love me, hey boy. Give me, give me, give me, hey joy. Die 4 U."- Saiki Your band is Saiki "l am the only normal person here" Atsumi - lead vocals Kanami "l love you, Saiki" Tono - lead guitarist and song writer MISA the assassin - bassist extraordinaire (all capital letters, please) Akane "Drumzilla" Hirose percussionist extraordinaire and last but never last the indomitable and irrepressible Kobato Miku, lyricist, rhythm guitarist, founder and chief spokespigeon in charge. The loquacious and somewhat hyper Ms. Kobato rents a little space inside her beautiful head to an 811 year old pigeon that has pretty much guided her every move. And hasn't let Miku or me down yet.
You've gotta rewatch that guitar battle again and listen to Akanes drums during that. She's laying the foundation for the whole battle and it's just sooooo good. Just gotta fkin love it.
Pure artistry when you have bass vs guitar and you didn't even realize the drum rhythm, layed down behind it, is what drives the feel and cohesiveness of the whole battle. So natural, so melodic so perfect. This performance is like capturing lightning in a bottle for all to see, forever. Akane, Kanami and MISA.
@@AnimeTriviaQuest Kanami knows what she does. Also Akane. They write for Mochi to Cheese too and come up with the rhythms. Just geniuses they all are! And Akane is always smiling like it's not yet hard enough. Keep rockin'!!
No matter the amazing performance of both Misa and Kanami......their performance is amplified by the phenomenal drum work of Akane and the marvellous rhythm guitar of Miku.....add to this that beautiful voice of Saiki and the combined effort of these five individuals makes for the best music I have heard in my 61 years of existence......
Everyone is so focused on the bass, lead guitar, drums, and lead singer, and with good reason. They're out front and they are awesome+, but if it wasn't for Miku filling out Band-maid's sound with her rhythmic licks and backing vocals, that distinct Band-Maid sound wouldn't exist. She is an integral part of this band, and probably the hardest working member overall. Names... SIGH-kee (No N in the name) Mee-coo Mee-sah Kah-nam-ee A-kah-nay
Forgive me if I contradict but Band-Maid was also cool in 2013 when they where founded and Miku could not play the guitar. It was the idea of Kanami to teach her guitar playing and that a rythm guitar would improve their sound and she did a great job. The guitar skills of Miku raise constantly she is very disciplined and works hard to improve them. But their biggest merit is to have founded this band and found these four other great musicians. I will always be grateful to her.
@@Medley3000Agreed, they sounded great in 2013, but that sound has matured as the years have progressed, so not really a contradiction. Remove Miku's guitar and vocals at this point and you lose part of what creates that wall of sound that has developed as Miku has become more skilled and comfortable with her instrument and vocals. This also frees Kanami to do a lot more improvisation, and she has taken full advantage of it.
@@pak40l46 Granted, but I have heard Miku and a few others pronounce her name as I spelled it phonetically. I think even the Japanese don't always use proper pronunciation, but point taken. Thanks.
Miku has a 36hrs daytime if you ask me. She is promoting the band like no other. And each time she is full of energy and always happy. Got to say, those girls stay the same - them selves - all-out. Not one head is up in the air. Saiki is taking her part serious too as she says she sees herself more as the leader (and thus no more Akane as leader as they first said she would). Anyhow, let them be this way, let them stay this way so we all can be close to them and have a good chit-chat while they sign the gifts to us. Oh yes, and we can still get gifts to them.
Kanami the lead guitarist writes almost all of their music, ofcourse with further inputs by the rest as well esp. Akane and MISA who are also professionally trained musicians and like her have been playing multiple instruments since a very young age. Miku is the main lyricist, assisted frequently by Saiki
How Band-Maid works; Kanami write the music, sends it to MISA and Akane for bass and drums, Miku writes the lyrics. From there off to the studio where they "fine tune" the song. All input and Saiki is contributing to the lyrics more now. The song is done when Saiki says so. Likely because the others would continue to Tweak it eternally, LOL. React to the "new" Domination video, they are wearing the new uniforms. Band-Maid is staying Safe, So should you!!
Yesssss finally, been waiting for a new Band Maid reaction from you! I can't stop listening to this band dude. Btw Band Maid released a new live music video for their song 'Domination' on their official channel. You need to check that out, it's fkin ridiculously good. You're gonna fall in love with Akane all over again hahaha!
Domination is such a banger anyways, and then they bring in a full-on throwdown in the middle of it... how the roof stayed on that joint is an absolute mystery to me.
I agree with you mate, every song is so well written and so well preformed, it makes no difference the fact I can’t understand a word of Japanese, the day after listening to their songs I’m singing them in my head, the best ear-worms (👂 🐛)EVER
New version of the track Domination from Feb 14th this year was just put up on their official channel. It's probably the best live performance you'll see from these talented ladies without actually standing in the crowd!! Stay safe!!😷
This is what you get when you combine absolute musical brilliance from everyone with the Japanese work ethic and modesty. Contrast Kanami's ' I will try to do my best' before a show to the unearned arragance of most western bands.
Band-maid is really your favorite band??? When you put the band-maid t-shirt on your wall? Um you forgot the girls' names? You ask us what other Band-maid song you suggest.

Dude, why wait for them to come around to your area? Go to them! Fly, take a bus, hitchhike, swim, crawl over broken glass, whatever. You will be glad you did.
*prepare the throat* .... FINALLY YISUS CHRIST! Now now, you really need to learn her names, come on! Bass player: MISA. Lead guitar: Kanami Töno (KA-nami) Drums: Akane Hirose (A-kane) Rithm guitar and second voice: Miku Kobato (MI-ku) Lead singer: Saiki Atsumi (SA-iki) Now you need to react to the last Live song they uploaded: BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Feb. 14th, 2020). Oh boy, Akane shine in this one.
You are literally the only reaction channel I’ve subscribed to. I wouldn’t have known about Band-Maid if it weren’t for your “Thrill” reaction. I have been rocking out to them since December, and I truly wish I could see them in person one day, for they are just phenomenal!
@@grantyuk best rock band for sure. I would love to see Metallica invite Band Maid to open a world tour, probably the only active band that could survive Band Maid as an opener.
Akane on arrangements? FIll me out a bit more with what is meant by it. I mean, I want them on my wedding day, not knowing when it is with the virus rampaging the world right now.
@@franshendrix1404 from a series of interviews, the rest of the band credit her organizational skills. Kanami, Misa, and Akane are all fluent with sheet music, Akane fits the pieces together. I cannot remember which interview series it was.
Dude, there literally is no bad BAND-MAID song... and you should listen to "alone". And also, please react to some metalcore (Architects, As I Lay Dying, While She Sleeps), i would be sooo happy
Official video of Rinne song m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CQ9dbEVgZcA.html and live video of Domination m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QbyQCJn6rYg.html. You really need to see and listen these songs.
I am also new to Band-Maid. I love them, every one of them. They have not made a single bad song yet. I lost my love for hard rock, everything sounded the same and formulated, but these five Japanese ladies gave my heart back to me. Band-Maid: play strong and last long! Listen to Daydreaming for a more Ballad feel to their music.
Now you need to watch "Domination" - a new performance in Line Cube Shibuya on February 14, 2020. New outfit, interesting vocal, great sound and another guitar battle))
and the principle songwriter is Kanami, the lead guitarist (yes that one with the PRS guitar, that one Santana fangirl). Miku is their "face" of Band-Maid; she's the one who came up the idea, and promoter, and hardworking as well being the second vocalist, and rhythm guitarist, with thinking of the direction of the band, but yes, for the question of "songwriter", it's mostly Kanami. :) Miku does have her own song inputs but you'll know it by the way they're made, like "Rock in Me" sounds very J-rock-ish compared to what Kanami mostly makes. :) Though I get it that all 5 of them have their all-say on the songs they make, but Kanami writes the song, Miku, and Saiki are like the lyricists; then Akane (drummer), and Misa (bassist) sits with Kanami to structure the song into what it should sound like, and there you go. :)
React to ''Legend of Avatar Country: A Metal Odyssey'' (mini movie) (all songs from the album Avatar Country) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OutGDZgFPiE.html
Miku doesn't write the songs. Kanami writes and arranges everything. Miku writes the lyrics! She has turned into a very good back up singer and player but is the least musical of the band. She did have the idea and put the band together and is way more intelligent than the pigeon persona.
Next up you should really do Puzzle Live, less in your face rock but Kanami is pretty much solo'ing the entire song and Saiki is barely taking a breath. After that, definitely Freedom or Rock in Me - two live tracks that really show off how much fun they have playing!
New Domination, next, please! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QbyQCJn6rYg.html Saiki OWNS the crowd! And Li'l Pigeon and her Sensei have a great exchange! \m/
There's a new version of Domination that's really sick!! Not sure if you've done Take Me Higher or Choose Me. Those are badass as well. Of course the list of Band-Maid songs that aren't badass would basically be a blank sheet. They can kick your ass in extremely diversified ways.
How could you forget the simplest name in this group. MISA!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!!!! Love her bass playing. I love your reactions and you need to see them Live
First mwhaha! My dude, I've been recomending once and a while for you to check out another canadian metal female fronted band, Spiritbox, you will love it ! Check out this one The Beauty Of Suffering - Spiritbox (Courtney LaPlante Live Performance)
Need to check out Band-Maid's new upload, the live version of Domination from their 2-14-2020 show. Also, should give a listen to Asterism, an instrumental group from Fukuoka, I believe. Try the song Rising Moon; in the video from about two years ago, the whole band is still in high school. Today, the guitarist is in her last year of school, I believe. Or, maybe her junior year.
Don't know how I missed this when you were first finding out about the ladies? That little battle worth the price of admission? "the grudge" first time I've heard MISA called that 🤣🤣🤣
There's an accustic version of Nemo with Floor and Troy that was posted a few hours ago that you should definitely check out Nightwish - Nemo (Planet Rock acoustic session) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FC7HYfc5y0A.html
Yep, that was the reaction I wanted. If you want more Bass Vs. Guitar awesomeness, check out their song called "Take me higher". Watch the live version, should be the top result on RU-vid. P.S. Bassist- Misa (Me-suh), Lead Guitarist- Kanami (Kuh-nah-me), Vocalist- Saiki (Sigh-key). You say Akane and Miku good enough, but one correction is that Kanami writes most of the songs, and Miku helps with lyrics. Saiki also started helping with lyrics a while back. Misa and Akane take what Kanami writes and create their own parts to the song, it's a team effort and it works very well. "Someone can elaborate more on that if they want".
Great band... lets try some American Rock, Dio, Metallica, Iron Maiden, etc Liliac (Kristea family) - Dancing in the Dark (original), Holy Diver cover, Trooper cover, etc
