This was the 22nd song out of 23, for the next song to listen to, you should listen to the song that preceded this one at that concert. "Play". The energy, the Ladies have throughout the entire concert is maintained, from start to finish. And it must be seen to be believed.
If you like heavy bass, drums and guitar, then "Dice" is the song for you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZpAYnVJX9CY.html Ditto for "Choose me" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MZIJ2vFxu9Y.html
It was a good reaction, thank you. I support BAND-MAID beginners. For live performances, "Freedom," for powerful and mellow songs, "Choose Me," "Blooming," "Manners," for instrumental songs, "On Set," "FROM Now On," "Without Holding Back," etc. are all recommended.

Band-Maid has done several Anime themes: "Sense", "Dawn Winery", "Hibana", "Corallium" Their video "Unleash" is an Anime unto itself. But they have a huge catalog of rock songs each more intense than the next. Try "Play", "Moratorium" or just about any random Band-Maid song. They play anything they find to be fun to themselves. To give their vocalist a break they do instrumentals: try "From Now On" and "Onset". While they mostly do hard rock, beware of their ballads: Band-Maid knows exactly how to play your heartstrings to jaw dropping effect. "Daydreaming", "Page", and "About Us" may bring you to tears. IMHO Band-Maid is the greatest rock band on the planet: an amazing collective of talent. Heavy metal gravitas combined with amazingly clean vocals make their sound totally unique.
bill remember when we were band-maid rookies. 6 years in and i still react like these dudes. recommend to them some of your videos from 2019 mini tour. the gurls were solid then too. i think they should watch the non-fiction days or ofc the legendary thrill.
I think I commented on John's reaction, I can verify that they sound even better when you are at their live concert. I saw them at the Fillmore and silver springs (They closed the show with this song). Also, they have done several anime openings. Have a good one! I would suggest "Rinne" MV (not the live as the only live on you tube is a shortened version of the song) and daydreaming (their power ballad).
The Fillmore was such a great show! The vibe of the crowd was so amazing! I have a video if Daydreaming on my channel and it was just so good hearing that song live!
@@mlm5150 You were there too! Awesome man, it was such a great show and you are right about the crowd. I was up in the one gallery (being very tall, i wanted to spare people the annoying of my blocking their view haha). I will stop by your channel. Hering Onset and From now on back to back was coola s well. (although Daydreaming was a big highlight for me as well, its in ym top two songs from the Maids)
AUGGHH I'm so jealous! I discovered them about 3 days after they played in my area. I instantly fell in love with their music and wished I could've just found out about them a bit sooner. Seeing them live is definitely on the bucket list now, I can only imagine how incredible it must be.
@@Ghost-lk2fc They were a bucket list concert for me as well. It is on my mind to put seeing them a second time back on the list. They are back in the US is May at the Rockville Festival. I would find it odd if they come over to the US to just do a singular festivals, so would not be surprised if we see a few more dates crop up when they announce their 2023 touring schedule.
MISA plays a major part in creating kick-ass songs that I pay money to own. That, for me, trumps technical ability. And her work ethic...just listen to the Freedom Live, for example, and focus on bass. Shes a non stop tasty bass machine...same story in every song. Like Geddy but better hair...just 🤘
People use the word "best" in music discussions all the time and it's just silly. All you get is a bunch of overgrown children arguing about it. I'll say that MISA is my "favorite" bassist. That is an indisputable fact. 😀
MISA is one of the best Bassist I have ever heard/seen. I date back to Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry and have heard a few bassists. How about their acoustic version of "Catharsis" You will get to experience How talented they really are!!
Love this band, I've bought their catalog all the way back to the beginning. Your volume is pretty low on the video at my end just so you know. Band Maid pulled me back into rock about five years ago. Best rock band on the planet.
There are so many awesome Band-Maid songs it is difficult to choose. You guys are right were I was about 2 years ago, I am now a huge fan, got to see them in DC and now have tickets to see them again at the Rockville festival. Keep checking them out, you won't be disappointed. Great reaction!!
What a great choice to hook a new Band-Maid fan with🤩👍 Now it’s time to check out some the more than 100 other great Band-Maid songs 😮 While there are so many great songs to choose from may I suggest you react to, “Moratorium” or “Puzzle” (great hard rocking guitar songs) “Daydreaming”, (a chill power ballad) “From now on” or “onset” (great instrumentals) Last, but far from least check out both (full band & acoustic) live versions of “Sayonakidori” Which feature Miku on lead vocals in two drastically different arrangements of the same song… Enjoy your journey into the world of Band-Maid gentleman. 🎼🎸🎤🥁🎼
You have kanami our princess to thank for the composing of this masterpiece she gives everything every time as do they all because they are the living legends known as band maid
Funny reaction. In addition to those already mentioned: Real Existens, Daydreaming, Influencer and From Nov On. But you can choose any one from their official YT channel. Band-Maiko as good band as Band-Maid. ;)
I found this band more than 4 years ago. As a drummer the first thing I focused in on was the drums. When I clicked the video I had assumed this was just another Pop-Idol group where the girls just sing and dance and I was planning to click away pretty quick. But from the first ("Start Over") the Drummer was clearly playing. It went from this kind of light guitar pop to slowly built up piece that had me clicking on the next one on the list: "Thrill." A total throwback to 80s Hard Rock nearly Metal. The drummer is sprinkling in double pedals and just keeping it rock solid. At this point I'm impressed enough to keep going. "Real Existence" is what put me over the edge. Akane (I had read the comments to find out her name at this point) goes completely Keith Moon wild on the drums while never losing control. Each verse, each chorus and the guitar solo all have multiple sub sections on the drums, and it is simply amazing. Simple, but ever moving, changing and perfectly locked into the rest of the music. So, after watching every last official video on their channel multiple times, made my first iTunes purchase EVER (and first money spent on new music in DECADES) I called up a friend of mine who had played guitar professionally in Japan back in the 90s. "Dude, I just found THE MOST AMAZING Japanese band! and they're all girls! and all dressed up li...." "Oh, you found Band-Maid, here, let me send you a link" ONSET. I think I cried. I've not been THIS into a band since first learning to play drums listening to Rush. They are THAT good.
Watching them perform this at Aftershock was the highlight of my 2022. I watched the video for Domination since it came out and see them live and being able to sing the lyrics out while watching was epic!
Welcome to the fandom! IMO - best bass player - period! ♥ MISA Never seen an organically put together band that had a great bassist, guitarist & drummer! Oh and the other 2 are pretty darned talented too. A literal supergroup! I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God & Turn Me On The last song is no longer on their channel. Link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l9ibUQ-V-Z4.html
Ok. Different was for the Log Horizon anime. Blooming and Choose me are in the Netflix movie Kate. They did the Dawn Winery Theme for the Genshin Impact concert, just to name a few surprises you have in store for you. A love song to the fans? Alter egos? Shhhh .
Great reaction! Next song? Dude... they have so much. My 3 personal favourites are "Blooming", "Daydreaming", and "the non fiction days". Since you're into anime: "sense", since it was made for a series... or "Unleash", where video is made as anime. All are on their YT page. Subbed.
I saw them twice on their 2022 US Tour and it was F'N amazing. I plan, and hope to be able to do it, is to go to Japan to see them, Wagakki Band, Baby Metal, SCANDAL, Nemophila and all my favorite Japanese groups.
Somewhere, in your early Band Maid Rabbit Hole dive, try reacting to at least some of the following instrumentals: "From Now On" (newest), "Onset", "Don't Be Long" and "Without Holding Back". I love Saiki and her compelling vocals, but it's nice to hear the ladies get to cut loose just a bit more than in the "vocalized" songs (but always within the structure of the song). You may also want to try the MVs for "Warning", "Influencer" and "Blooming". Generally, for most (but not all) of their songs, the "lives" will get your blood pumping at max levels. You may also want to take a stab at acoustic songs (e.g. "Catharsis" [live]), electric ballads (e.g. "Daydreaming") or pieces from their "controlled chaos" files (e.g. "Different", "Black Hole", "I Still Seek Revenge"). Once you get through all of those. you'll only have about 120 (or so) to go to know the whole canon. (Of course, if you want to count live versions, studio live versions, You Tube-posted fan cam lives, TV show/anime/movie applications, electric and acoustic variants of songs, versions of songs containing different intros/outros/solos, different musical applications (e.g. "Hitler Rants" pieces [Daily Blabs], P in D photo collages); novelty treatments (e.g. AntMusic shorts), professional analyses (e.g. "Wings of Pegasus", "Jbf Music & Guitar"); extended discussions (e.g. "Gaijin Guys", "Maid News Network), et cetera -- and even if you confine yourself solely to RU-vid -- AND, if you count each and every one of these entries as a separate, yet integral, Band Maid "piece", you can kick that 120+-ish number up three- to five-fold. (After that, we can talk about the domestic and foreign merchandise items available -- I have a Japanese BM wall hanging [currently going for $225-$250 on Ebay]; their first two EPs [always available on Ebay for $400-$550 each -- sometimes less]; the complete custom Zippo lighter lighter collection [always available on Ebay for $4,000 -$6,000] and literally thousands of other items over the last [almost] decade -- you may want to bring your wallet). Have fun! (Maidiacs always do)! Band Maid Forever!!!!!
I'm from Atlanta and they did not play here on the tour. Closest city they played was Dallas or Chicago... both of those I was at. With them playing Rockville down in Daytona in May there's hope they may play some Southeast shows around that time as well since they skipped the SE on the recent tour.
You are so right about bassist Misa. She looks like a supermodel but plays way above the average rock bassist. She can and does play shredding duels with lead guitar Kanami. something I have never seen anywhere. Like the rest of the band talent clean off the scale.
Misa is a great Bass player but you should check out Trident, Serina's sound is crazy good. Try "ambivelant". Band Maid are my favourite band, but while each are the best as a whole other bands have individuals who peak higher. As for Band Maid Songs, Blooming, Dice and Manners. can't go wrong with those three.
Happy New Years guys. As you appreciated how careful their composition is and reserve from going over the top, check out this incredibly overlooked big ballad "Wonderland" LIVE on their channel. :)
I'd sat.....mmmm...you now know that can shred.... And they can get heavier....but I say maybe go back toward the beginning...one of the rock ballad type songs...and see if you can hear Kanami-san's influencer Santana in the solo she wrote?..... For a long time this was one of my top favorite songs by Band Maid... When they released this some complained because it wasn't that driving hard rock sound, but when you listened... you just knew they were special.... Daydreaming - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RCaeUkrItyY.html
They are probably one of the best bands around today in regards to ability, talent and live performances. Reminds of the best of the late 70's and early 80's rock - which was the highpoint of rock music.
Why dip your toes? Jump in with both feet and enjoy one of greatest phenomenal bands to happen in many decades. Superb Musicianship from every member of Band Maid
You got to show him Lovebites... the new bassplayer in her first MV with the band, the song is Judgement Day!!! Holy moses what a comeback for that band!
Definitely try their live song Don’t You Tell Me because it is epic with a great guitar v bass battle in the middle of the song that will impress you guys plus the whole song is killer!!
3 of the best all-female rock bands of all time come from Japan - they're young - they're the best - they're coming to west : 1. LOVEBITES - Speed, Thrash + Power Metal 🤘🐺🤘 2. Band Maid - Rock/Hard Rock 🤘🎀🤘 3. Nemophila - Heavy Metal 🤘💮🤘 All 3 are even better live than in the official videos. a phenomenon !
This song is from "BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION TOUR - Shinka" held by BAND-MAID at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14, 2020 Please subscribe to their channel (if you haven't): ru-vid.comvideos Setlist: 1-Rinne 2-Blooming 3-Screaming 4-Dilemma 5-glory 6-FREEDOM 7-Choose me 8-PAGE 9-Mirage 10-catharsis 11-Bubble 12-The Dragon Cries 13-I can't live without you. 14-TIME 15-Wonderland 16-alone 17-DICE 18-Don't you tell ME 19-Play 20-DOMINATION 21-endless Story
One of the chief differences between Western hard rock/metal bands and those from Japan (especially true for all-female acts): in the West, there are a lot of mediocre bands (e.g. technical ability, songwriting and arranging skills) with recording contracts; in Japan, you kill or you leave.
Lovebites or Nemophila next to show just a fraction of the amazingly talented female musicians in Japan at the moment. Of play Manners/Black Hole live by Band Maid.
Band Maid always have a catchy chorus even on their heavier tracks. They have written songs for anime, Different for Log Horizon series 3 and Sense for Platinum End. They also wrote Hibana for the Japan Universities E-sports competition battle song, one of my personal favourite tracks btw. Have you checked out Rinne yet ? If not I would recommend that track next. Enjoy !!
Hey Guys! Great reaction! I love seeing people listen to Band-Maid for the first time! Another band you guys will love has a lot of crossover fans with Band-Maid. They are 3 sisters from Mexico called The Warning!! I would suggest the songs Disciple or Evolve official videos to start with! Give them a listen and I know you will love them!
Bro, Band Maid is so freaking good! My personal favorite song from them (at the moment) is “Fate”. That said, the best female bassist in my mind is Michiko Koga from Gacharic Spin. She’s INSANE.
While I am a band Maid fan, saying Misa is the best bassist is a bit much for me. Yes she is good and up there with the best of them, but for me the best has to be F Chooper Koga from Gacharic Spin. Gacharic Spin is a band I really want to like, but they are not as heavy as I would like, mind you that has changed a bit over the last year or 2.
Asking the Maidiacs for a good Band-Maid song for your next video has two effects. The first might be a never ending bag of lays potato chips (just can't have one), the other is the owl on the Tootsie Pop commercial, 1, 2, 3 bite. To quote Good Morning Vietnam -Adrian Cronaue, "anything, just play it loud OK!" "Daydreaming" (ballad), "Start Over" (pop like heartbreak), "Manners" (Bluesy Grit), 輪廻 "RINNE" (Needs to be in a NFS video game), "Secret Maiko Lips" & "Gion-cho (祇園町)" (The Band-Maiko versions), "onset" & "from now on" (instrumentals), or any of the acoustic stuff. Pretty much anything.
After Kanami finishes her last blazing solo, Saiki sings, "Our pulses race together." Indeed! Band-Maid. Domination. Nuff said! Well, except for... what the HECK! Where's your headphones?!? Band-Maid is a headphone required band, guys. ;-)
Band Maid operates on orders of magnitude. Studio stuff is the baseline. A live version of that song is 10x more impressive. Actually being at a show 10x more and if you're committed to the cause, and join Dawn Patrol (lining up 14+ hours early) you can get in the first few rows. That also is an order of magnitude above the rest. The base is amazing too without being (too) obnoxious. Your next shot at seeing them is in May. It is a festival gig in Daytona, FL on May 18th.
As far as recommendations, Lord there are SO many. They're coming up on their 10 year anniversary and they have a gazillion songs, all from very good to OMG. I don't know what songs you've done already so sorry if you've done some of these, but here are my recommendations. From their early years, a couple of my faves from their channel are Real Existence Live and Non Fiction Days MV. Then there is Blooming MV (featured in the Netflix movie Kate), and the mid-temp hard groove awesomeness of Manners (MV is great but so is the Live combo of Manners/Black Hole) and Bubble. A life changingly great power ballad is Daydreaming MV. I'm skipping a ton of great songs too. Oh, and from their later years try No God live. From their most recent and crazy great EP, you'll love (because I see you're into anime) their MV Unleash!!!!!, as well as Influencer and the instrumental to beat all instrumentals "From Now On." And I'm leaving a ton of shit out!
