You want vocals? How about "Hate?", the official live video by Band-Maid? Pull it up on RU-vid, react to it and you will find out that these five very talented and together young females from Japan will forever rock your world.
@@lazareinvisible They played From Now On in the middle of their okyuji at the Silver Spring Fillmore, followed by Onset, to give Saiki her break from the vocals.
You noticed something. Band Maid doesn't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre. Pop, punk, prog, thrash, rock, metal. They do it all, and better than most. These ladies never sound the same song to song.
This group is a "super group". AND they have a lead singer! About 130 songs in their luggage and 10 years on the scene. This is a real live band and they shine best on stage. To get a taste of how good they are and what they do live, check out "Hate?" live. 5 minutes of awesomeness.
I agree that in hindsight they feel like a super group, but they aren’t what people usually think of when they use that term. Super groups are when you form a new band from already very famous musicians. This is not that.
@@evilducks3710 I think of the band Asia. John Wetton, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes and Carl Palmer were the original superstar members, but they went through lineup changes early and often.
Not only do they have vocals but they have a phenomenal lead vocalist and an equally great backup vocalist to provide harmonies. She's the one on rhythm guitar here. You're going to have to be patient if you want a real glimpse into how good they are because they cross over so many genres that the genres got dizzy trying to figure it out themselves. I recommend don't you tell me official live and endless story official live in that order. Be sure to turn on the subtitles for Endless story. You can also just pick a song at random from their RU-vid page and there's a lot of them to choose from. Every song they do is great even how many of them are completely different from any other song. Welcome to the miracle band that is Band-Maid!!!!!

Band-Maid celebrated their 10th anniversary last year with a tour ending up at Yokohama Arena where they recorded a show for DVD release. Their RU-vid channel has quite a few Official Live videos including "Hate?", "Don't You Tell ME", "Unleash!!!!!", "No God", and a bunch of others. They are killer live.
The best rock band on the planet. Any Maids track always ROCKS as they come for your soul. The ladies are in their early 30s now and have been rocking for almost 10 years with plenty of Solo work from Misa and Kanami. The great thing is they always look so happy. Try Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage, after a slow start it suddenly went viral outside of Japan (the label was about drop them when this happened in 2015), Freedom, Onset, From now on, Without Holding Back, Hate? Are all great tracks and they have an extensive back catalogue (130+ tracks). Welcome Masters and Princesses to the 5 Band-Maid members: SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. The youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku), "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals and lyricist. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon. I believe she couldn’t play when she formed the band and was tutored by Kanami. KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want is more! AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa), "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! Their Battle Gear as they call it with slight variations are standard maid outfits for Akane, Miku and Akane, a head maids outfit for Saiki and a Ninja maid outfit for Misa.
Welcome to Band-Maid! Wait until you meet Saiki the vocalist! They are best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!
Lead singer, Saiki, wanted a song to use as an opener. She wanted to grab the attention of new fans for their then upcoming US tour back in 2022. Composer, lead guitar Kanami complied.
Saiki, aka Sai Chan, is a fantastic lead singer !! 11 years and around 130 songs plus a new album later this summer, the Maids are the real deal ! 😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
Band-Maid writes a few instrumentals to give their singer a rest during live shows - so you'd find this one normally tucked in the middle of a show. As for their vocalists, the lead vocalist is my fav foreign born rock singer. She has an incredible tone and range and is versatile with her style; she's also magnetic on stage ("Queen" is one of her nicknames lol). They have an incredible backup vocalist who does lead on some songs (also to give their lead singer a rest), but is mainly known for her incredible harmonies and backup melodies. One of the unique things about this band is how tight the friendships are between the members - they grew over the years (lots of struggle early on) into a family of sorts.
Music from the genius of Mincho! God she writes songs that touch my soul! Any BAND-MAID song available on their RU-vid with OR without a video.........🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welcome to the Maidiacs, guys. Kanami🥰took the vocals in her own hands on this one. They have a fantastic vocalist in Saiki. Please check out Puzzle Official Live video.
You have both embarked upon a wonderful journey, one that will astound you and make you very, very happy. Band-Maid are the best hard rock prog band on the planet - and have been so for over the past eight or nine years.
Great reaction guys,,These ladies are the real deal,check out ,,HATE, live in Yokahama 2023,with Saiki the vocalist,and you will see for yourself how amazing this band truly is,enjoy.
The vocals from Baby Metal are blown away by the talent of Saiki the lead singer of Band Maid. Once you hear about 10 of their songs you will realize they are already a supergroup.
Thank you for your response to BAND-MAID's song, it was a lot of fun. You can enjoy their songs no matter which part you listen to, whether it's guitar, bass, drums, or vocals.
You have no idea... This is a SUPER GROUP. Beyond anything you expect. As others have said "Hate? (Live from Yokohama)" and for another KICK ASS instrumental. "Onset" live
Just pick any song. Live or MV, with this band you can't go wrong. They have not one, but two singers. Miku (rhythm guitar, main lyrisist and founder of the band) fired herself as the lead singer and gave that role to Saiki. But don't underestimate Miku's on backing vocals. Miku occasionally sings lead, like on Sayonakidori (Official Live Video) from their Acoustic set.
For me, the one that shines in this piece is Akane , the drummer. I can't explain why, because i have no musical knowledge but i deeply feel it and that's enough for me.Babymetal got me into J-metal and J-rock, Band-Maid taught me how to listen to music. But my all time favorite band are Lovebites. Could you react to them? Since you talked about an opening song i recomment "Thunder Vengeance live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020". Greetings from Greece.
Band Maid 🔥 🤘🏽 The best thing to happen in the rock world since…well, I’ll let you guys decide. From here, it’s “DICE.” Another official music video. Vocals, hard rock, excellent example of how they arrange their songs with balance. Please wait for “Hate” until you hear 6-8 songs. “Hate,” while a great performance, is not a good starter for new listeners. If you’re introducing a friend to Korn, for example, you don’t want to skip “Freak on a Leash” for a deep, experimental cut. “DICE” is Band Maid at their best
THANKS GREAT REACTION!!!! BAND-MAID and THE WARNING have a show together in Tokyo June 12th!! "HATE?" is a must! BAND-MAID is best served LIVE!!!!! .....PO! 🕊🍌🍻☕⚾
I saw Band-Maid at the Aftershock Festival in 2022 and they opened up their US Tour with "From Now On" =) They have a song called "HATE" Official Live with a wonderful singer please check it out ! Thanks Nice Reaction
Band-Maid is amazing, probably the most kick ass band on earth! They never disappoint, and when you get to the 20th badass song you will know I'm not lying 😊
Great reaction and you have no idea what awaits you. Add in a world class vocalist and you have the best hard rock band in the world. Band-Maid and Babymetal travel in different worlds so they've never played together. Can't wait for your next experience with Band-Maid (I predict you will watch "HATE?). New sub.
wait till you hear Band-Maid Singer. React to Domination the LIVE version. Also they like dabble between genres. One song is very different to the other
To loosely quote another Maidiac 😅 🎸 Bass solos by Misa are more likely to happen than not. 🥃 🎸 Guitar solos by Kanami are short and crisp 🥁 Akane on drums is 'a beast' 🦍🍌 🕊 Don't underestimate Miku Kobato: She is the founder of the band, bundle of energy, Maid Cafe magician 🪄, is invaluable as a second vocalist. 🎙And there is Saiki: She was the Ice Queen but the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed 🤣 🎶 More hooks, riffs and motifs in a song than most bands have on a full album. 💃Their LIVE videos are mostly superior to the official studio MVs, but the MVs are also excellent! 🎵 Many songs have catchy phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese. Most songs are full of joy as well. 🥳 They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other. I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some more of their instrumentals like Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... 👉 I have a next song for you in my mind ... Why not jump to an early song (from 2014/2015) from them with a great live performance from 2018: "Real Existence" (official live) would be a good suggestion. And as always many other songs come into mind: "From now on" (MV) for example. But as many Maidiacs would say: Pick any song from their huge portfolio: No song will disappoint! 😍 Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) Have fun... Po
Great reaction. Hate? live will be a popular choice for the next track. You won't be disappointed. B-M describe themselves as hard rock but as you have already heard they do whatever takes their fancy, metal elements, punk, and even jazz. And yes, they have a vocalist who is just as talented as the quartet of instrumentalists.
Wait until you hear their vocalist, she is as awesome as the rest of this quintet. Their rhythm guitarist is their secondary vocalist and the lead guitarist pipes in occasionally as a back-up vocalist. This band doesn't show all its cards at once. Once you start down this rabbit hole Band-Maid will continue to surprise you. They have a surprisingly large and deep catalog of music; over ten years worth. They are a powerhouse live act and their concerts are as good as it gets. They write all their music specifically with live performance in mind: the music is part of the show. They don't record music that they can't do live.
"Hate?" live official at Yokohama will satisfy you both.....you have NO idea the musical journey you're about to undertake....enjoy my friends....and welcome to the "pigeon" hole....."po"
Yes, they have a singer. I have seen this band twice live and let me tell you. They rock even harder live. Their singer, Saiki, absolutely owns the stage. I'd recommend reacting to any of their "official live" material. They recently posted "Hate" and "Endless Story"(which they use to close shows).
For me..Kanami Tōno, lead guitarist and compose, is the most impressive musician of the 21st Century. She is The Special One. Pure genius as a composer and true Rock’n Roll Star on stage. This band is Magical 🔥❤️🤘🙏🏻
Welcome to the BandMaid experience! The greatest proper rock and roll band of the 21st century. Here's some opinions and facts: •Bass solos are more likely to happen than not. There's a bass solo on their very first video! •Guitar solos are shorter, far shorter than you would like them to be •Unless you are superhuman, you will not/ can not be able to pick up everything they're doing to make that song great on the first listen. •Genre? Genres?? We don' need no stinkin" genre! •You like a hard rocking crazy fast tune? Well how about it done as a slower acoustic version? They do that. •April Fools Day 2019 As a joke they recorded a redo of Secret my Lips with traditional instruments and with lyrics in a Kyoto dialect. MV is stunningly beautiful. •The linchpin member of the band gets the least notice/praise. The Mighty Miku Kobato founder/lead singer steps back to make way for a new more hard rock vocalist. They want her to hold a guitar so she does and learns to play on the fly, performing all the while she's learning. So the person who willed the band into existence, who is the primary lyricist, the only member who sings and plays an instrument most of the time gets the least comments from reactors. Oh yeah she has her own signature model guitar from Zematis (after playing less than 10 yrs) •There is no "I" in BANDMAID. Well ok there is one "I" but my point is the songs are written by BandMaid. Not just Kanami Tono. The highly innovative bass and drum lines are created by Akane and MISA. There are no George songs and John&Paul songs. There are only BandMaid songs. •10 plus years with the same line up. Think about that. •More hooks, riffs and motifs in many songs than most bands have on an album. Check it out. No hyperbole. •Use of puns, wordplay using homophones between Japanese and English are not the exception. They are typical of Kobato's lyrics. •Despite the fact that their LIVE videos are superior to the official studio MV"s the latter are excellent. Funny, graphic, innovative and stunningly beautiful works of art describe what you get with BandMaid's official MV's. •As close to the Beatles in terms of unique persona of the members as any group since the Monkees. MISA is quiet and drinks. Akane is happy and eats, Miku is klutzy and CUTE, Kanami is an airhead who crushes on Saiki and Saiki was the Ice Queen. But the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed. See Yokohama's Endless Story! Their image is carefully crafted or spontaneous or both. •Many songs have catch phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese.Most songs are full of joy as well. •They're having a ball. They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other. •Make no mistake, this is not a regular band.
Welcome home. BAND-MAID don't need Babymetal, they have a singer, she is called Saiki. A common starting point for people listening to the full band for the first time is the 'Domination' live video. Or you could go with a more recent performance of 'Hate?' Live and enjoy the bass and guitar duel. But you can pick any piece of music by BAND-MAID really, it's all good. Enjoy.
Band Maid does have vocals. I would suggest Endless Story (Live) for a more rock ballad with vocals, Hate? (Live) for hard rock with vocals, Domination (Live). They shine the most in a live setting. The three songs I suggested are also all subtitled. Their most recent video "Bestie" is a collaboration with Mike Eiziger from Incubus and is a pure ballad, but I would suggest listening to the first three that I suggested more.
Welcome. If you ever get lost in any nation of the World, just put on a Band-Maid t-shirt or hat and local help will present itself faster than you can shout S.O.S. Also, Kanami is a genius (must always be said) and the band is this extremely rare occasion where the sum of it is not massively "greater than its parts". Band-Maid as a whole represents how great the 5 parts are in their own capacity and from working hard collectively to become this "unit of music" that they have become. I am honestly not sure what to recommend for two young recruits. Chronologically I would say "Domination Official Live" first (to get an early taste of how awesome they were live even years ago) and then the video of "Thrill" to get into the lore. I would then do the video for "Daydreaming" as it is a composition so awesome that every band in history listen to it with envy (it is possibly the best rock song ever written to not appear on Billboard. If Pink Floyd, Prince, U2 or Michael Jackson had written it in the 1980s, it would probably still be on the top 100 list (indicating that it checks ALL the boxes of being Prog, Pop, Rock, Big...). I will not mention anything about guitar solos occurring, but I will ask "Did you ever hear drums cry with emotional despair outside of the best drum solos ever played like the famous "gated reverb" drop of Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight"?". You are in for 20-odd seconds of musical heaven. I can prepare you as much as I can and know: You are not prepared. Here is the off-the-charts information you need: What happens in "Daydreaming" is not a fluke. It is not an accidental one-time wonder, it is a feature of what they do consistently. Kanami is a F-ing genius surrounded by geniuses. To prove my point: When Kanami wrote "From Now On", I am sure the classical pianist that she is asked herself "What would Johann Sebastian Bach have composed back in the day if he knew that a quartet in the future was a drummer, two guitarists and a bassist". I am waiting for a pair of violins, a viola and a cello to make a cover.
You will find out they have two great singers. Saiki, the lead singer and Miku, the rhythm guitarist. The official live videos of Hate? or Domination are great performances to start with. Band-Maid knocks it out of the park every time.
These ladies opened for G n R last year with this exact instrumental. They have about 4 instrumentals, everything else has vocals. Catalog is over 100 songs and it's hard to find a dud.
Congratulations on discovering the best rock band on the planet today. On Band-Maid's instrumentals Kanami's guitar does the singing, but their lead vocalist is Saiki Atsumi. Check out any of their 100+ songs with lyrics to see what she can do (preferably live songs).

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 As a big fan of BABYMETAL and Band-Maid, I am happy that you guys finally covered B-M. I witnessed this song performed live four times with this MV quality in Japan and dropped my jaw four times 😲. I believe so did many of American audience in their three US tours in 2022/2023. This song has been normally played in the middle of the setlist to give Saiki, lead vocalist, some break. They played this song, however, as opening at festivals and in Guns N' Roses concert in Japan as support to the legendary band. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to the audience who knew nothing about the girls in maid outfit on the stage. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!" 😄
@@RogerChance5309 I don't instigate these like you, but I watch every single Band Maid reaction I find. I'm just glad I've bought all this stuff too and have it sitting at home. I'm really addicted to them. Keep going, Roger, I'm chasing along right behind you.
They have 4 instrumentals, 2 of which have videos up on their channel. "Onset" is the other one and is a live video. As has been recommended already try "Hate?" live to hear vocals or any other one on their channel. They do many genres but are known as a hard rock band.
Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world. As I'm sure the Maidiacs have informed you, the only have a few instrumentals. You need to check out their live performances next - honestly just pick an official live video from their RU-vid channel, but some of my personal favorites are, in no particular order, Play, Freedom, Real Existence, Hate?, Don't You Tell Me, Puzzle, Domination, and Onset. Enjoy your trip down the pigeon-hole!
You mat want to try a song called "Giovanni" from these ladies. There are versions with and without vocals and although both versions are the same song, with out vocals it takes on a life of it's own!
Give Lollapalooza's live performance video of "DICE/HATE". Side note: You mentioned Babymetal, well, BAND-MAID and Kami Band (Babymetal) have hung out together in the past.
Good call on this being a good piece for starting a concert, since this came out, this is often their opener. They rotate their material a ridiculous amount, however, having played something like 70 of their 130 or so songs on their last tour... including over 50 of their songs in their last two concerts alone. The first concert was a monumental 33 song 3.5 hour show, and the second was a "spinoff" where they intentionally changed all but two songs of the 21 in the set so that it would be like an addition to the first concert.
And while they have not toured with Baby Metal, they'll be playing a show with The Warning in Tokyo coming up in a couple of weeks. We're all hoping for some sort of collab to come out of that conjunction.
Puzzle is my favourite Bandmaid lyrically, the emotion from Saiki on lead vocals and Miku's backing wails are amazing. Hate? live is amazing for the incredible solos. Neither will disappoint.
For a groovy classic sound I love Saiki's voice on the second half of "MANNERS" OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO, of course Manners/Black Hole LIVE the best of two extremes!
5 songs? Impossible.....Start with Influencer OMV maybe? Also, Band-Maid and The Warning are playing live together in Tokyo on June 12th. Is that enough rock on stage for you?
Hi! that is a great reaction, Regarding a fusion between Ban Mad and Baby Metal I think it would be awesome, Although I really Love Su's vocals, I really love it, Also I really like Saiki's vocals even more, Don't get me wrong, both are incredible singers, I still lean to Saiki, you will need to listen to her on various different songs to really grasp her full spectrum, as one song will leave you thinking" OH! so this is her style", then you hear another song and is different and so on, She really is a great singer with a very powerful voice
_BAND-MAID / HATE? (Official Live Video)_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yfORoQIqB3E.html (5m:53s) Live and with *VOCALS*. Oh yes. and a 'classic rock battle' too.
I love From Now On but never sure why it gets recommended as a first song since it misses out on Saiki's incredible vocals. Check out Play live or Puzzle live from them.
