Perfect example of why I love Band-Maid; most bands have a bridge that feels like slowed down filler until we get back to the chorus. Not our Maids. They add a bridge that's good enough to be a song on its own but they just throw it in there after the solo, then go back to the chorus then manage to blend the two seemingly two different sounds into something chaotic yet beautiful. How often can you say one of your favorite parts of a song you like is the bridge? Hardly ever.
Saiki's machine gun vocals, Miku's angelic harmonies, Kanami's insane tapping and two solos, MISA chugging 16th notes with Akane's kick drum and Akane going Go-Gorilla on the drums. Just another Rock Masterpiece by the Maids. Three and a half years into Band-Maid and I have no idea what any song is about, it's all about the music to me. Ooops, I know what "About Us" and "Memorable" are about..... old drummers don't do lyrics. Glad someone finally appreciated those harmonies.....good ear Maddy.
Miku Kobato had a dream & in 2013 that dream came true. Then after she'd met me she had another dream about forming her own band of impossibly Hard Rocking Maids & that dream came true too. 10yrs on the "Decade of the Maid" is here & BAND-MAID continue to Thrill us to this day. Roll on 2033 :)
@rogerchance9074 No big issues right now other than the usual like, incomplete population of thumbs, and failing to find all search results or bringing up non-relevant videos. If you're getting interruption, etc. make sure your IP/router isn't going offline. Can always try a reboot. Good luck!
@rogerchance9074 If you're not having any trouble with anything else on your computer, phone or internet, then it's definitely YT. You could try accessing YT on a different device. But if you normally don't have a problem, it should clear up at some point.
Both yes and no... It was Kanamis homework for the other girls. Like: do something awesome and I will put it together. I would really liked to see how they did it.
Another great reaction 🎉 One of the best things about Band Maid is their versatility. I don’t think “Blooming” and “Daydreaming” could be more different. But that’s not even as creative as they can be. After seeing you pay attention to lyrics more, I’d definitely recommend some of their more meaningful songs. I think you’d like “Puzzle,” Miku’s story of unrequited love from a married man. Or, if you aren’t afraid of crying? “About Us.” The song the Maids wrote and performed for their fans during the lockdowns. Can’t speak for everyone, but even after dozens of listens, that song still gives me chills 🎉 on your way to 20k (and a maid outfit perhaps 😂 )
This is another of the Ladies songs where MISA solos right along with Kanami. In fact MISA solos almost the entire song. MISA going up and down the neck of her bass throughout Kanami's solo makes it stand out much more for myself personally. And this song was homework from Kanami to the other Ladies. She gave them a basic melody and told them to write their own parts, and she then went and put them all together and tweaked it into what you just watched. And Kanami's closing solo is inspired and really makes the song pop that much more. As for the lyrics, as I read them, this is a woman who has relationship issues, but she is setting that aside to focus on herself so she can grow. Others may read different meaning into the lyrics, but that is my take on them.
It's good when you get likes before the video even shows. But that's band maid fans for you. We know you will love it. I only wish I could fly out of Barbados to see them live
What I love, in the videography side of this clip, is the fact that there are no full face images of any of the Maids right up until after Kanami's first solo. They are all half out of frame, or hidden by hair, or blurry in the distance, or turned away from the camera. So cool. And So interesting. One of my favorite music videos from these women.
Great harmonies between Saiki and Miku, but also or especially between Kanami (gt) and Akane (dr). Rarely have I heard these two instruments working together so perfectly as the energy engine for the entire length of a song. 🔥 For me, this always works much better than any energy drink out there. 🤭🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever.

Great reaction Maddy!....your smile is genuine and true....I look forward to your videos, and I am patiently waiting for your discovery of 'Band-Maiko'......you do believe in the existence of Band-Maiko...dont you?.......they may only appear on April Fools Day....but rumor has it...that they also fight crime and are kind to kittens, puppies and small pigeons Goin-Cho
Blooming is such a great song the solos the harmonies and the drumming is insane as well ! Be careful Maddy or you will become addicted to Band-Maid like the rest of us Maidiacs =) Try "Real Existence" Live its a banger too ! Thanks Nice Reaction
I sort of play a core PRS just enough to know that never in a thousand years will I come close to the scruffy little genius. She has own style and techniques but by god this girl can play.
Oh here are some moar harmonious BM action below. The two songs, Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips, are the same song, except the latter was an April Fools joke from 2018 that was "remixed" to become its own song: Freedom (2020 Live) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FHpuEqMAcDg.html Choose me - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZIJ2vFxu9Y.html Alone - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-axF56i4spio.html Secret My Lips - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1Vuca7V-5Ec.html Secret MAIKO Lips - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NNHGABwme50.html From Now On - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a6ZSvmnkS00.html
@@MaddyReactions You're welcome. While that WAS intended as a compliment it also suggests more Nemophila (Murata Tamu is their drummer) and Gacharic Spin, of course, preferably their "Mindset" MV.
@@MaddyReactions It's when the exceedingly proper and polite Kanami Tōno loses her mind and becomes a rocker chick. Her partners say she doesn't remember what she did when she's in Mincho Mode.
WARNING: Do not! Do not listen to this song while driving. You'll end up at 90 mph or even 100 plus without realizing. This song just "drives" you forward, faster and faster.
Sugoi! Yes, Saiki and Miku sound great together. I don't think you've reacted to "Memorable", a truly beautiful song, and would love to see your reaction. It was written to their U.S. fans to acknowledge their thoughts and appreciation after their 2022 tour in the States. The girls cried after the Chicago show, knowing it was the last one of their tour here. 🤘🤘
Completely off topic, but I feel like I’m in a Seinfeld episode. Do you always rock the same tank top? Is the single armed tank top just a normal tank with the other side tucked in? Do you have 100’s of normal tank tops and 100’s of one sleeve tanks? Probably not that funny, Seinfeld fans will understand 😂
