Man with a Mission is an awesome band! I used to work at a factory with their drummer many years ago! They never show their faces on camera! They sweat more than any other band in Japan! they have some real good songs! They also had an industrial phase with a NIN vibe! Worth more reactions! Also, check out MTH's new announcement for their upcoming live stream concert! They have also posted today (!) a new live version of KYOKATSU! Check it out!
It would be very easy to dismiss MWAM because of their gimmick, but they are legit. Not heard a bad track by them yet. They lean in on the pop side of things and aren't afraid to mix in other genres. There are some absolute bangers lurking in their discography.
Yeah used to think of them badly because of their mask but the more I listened to their song, the more I saw something interesting about it or them. Thus I loved their team ever since especially DJ's work/part. :P
Another gem from Japan, check out " fly away " from the same show its not live but has footage from the show and great crowd participation, " Hey now " is another good song
The "square things" is what you will see on concerts in japan, this is quite standard there, this is a standard rule on concerts regarding safety measures. If you want to know more about this i recommend searching online, there is a few good articles that do a better job explaining it all. Regarding MAN WITH A MISSION they have 2 vocals and are quite close with ZEEBRAHEAD, they did several collabs with them, recorded a mini album collab with them and the vocalist Jean-Ken Johnny from MAN WITH A MISSION was in ZEEBRAHEAD's song called DEVIL ON MY SHOULDERS. Also MWAM is currently one of the top bands in japan playing Mixture Rock, its a japanese genre where rock and metal is combined with soul, jazz, hip hop or latin. Nowadays the most popular Mixture Rock would be SiM, MAN WITH A MISSION, The BONEZ, BACK-ON and OLDCODEX. Also the vocalist of MWAM Jean-Ken Johnny recorded songs with : Marty Freidman - The Perfect world, used for the first season of a NETFLIX original anime created by the japanese animation studio Production IG, its a sci-fi mystery anime. Sawano Hiroyuki - as part of his nZk project for the song Chaos Drifters used in anime NO GUN NO LIFE. Sawano Hiroyuki is a producer of OST for anime and games and nZk is a project songs with various vocalists, some of those songs are used in anime or games but most are just his attempt at something outside of his standard OST creations. I totally recommend you check him out, his songs have something in them that makes them unique, epic and also quite easy to tell apart from every other composer just by the first few seconds of a song.
3:43 The man on the left is doing the Comaneci pose. That's a classic Japanese gag by the great Japanese comedian Beat Takeshi, referring to the high-legged gymnasts of some other country.😆
They have a song that was used as an opening of the anime Log Horizon featuring another artist, the title is Database. It was the opening for two seasons because it was a real banger!! Then the opening was changed on the 3rd season, this time it was Different from our beloved Band Maid.
Ohh yeapp finallyyyy MWAM and Band maid are my top fav japanese band Try their songs like Dive Fly again Take me under And their live stuff are amazing
They see through the mouth of the mask. In their live concerts. JKJ, Tokyo Tanaka and Kamikaze boy open part of their mask to reveal their face covered in ink and it shows that their face is only up to their mouth of their mask. You can also notice JKJ holds the microphone on his neck instead of mouth during interviews wearing the mask xD
@@Greyr4X And kami-boy also do (when they sing) in Trick r treat/Take me home. And how does santa monica work? When they were Grantz, Dj used headphones and now?
@@voluspa1954 Maybe he uses a different mask with the headphones already inside or maybe he is really that good that he doesn't need headphones anymore because his timing is still amazing anyways :P
