Thank you! 😁

Awesome! Thank you!

Check out The Warning.

That's perfect! 😁👍

🤙🏽

That's awesome! 😁

You just might have! 😉😁👍

Welcome home, Princess. Maidette level complete, Po! Maidiac level up in process...

It all started with Don't Let Me Down...She asked, they didn't deliver.

I thought it was about a subpar performance at the Olympics. 🙂

@@80mtn yeah, in the Sai-athalon.

@@bandmaidfanATL You had it in Atlanta too didn't you. 80s sometime?

@@80mtn '96

Thank you! 😁

So what i say too "DO IT" :)

@@GaryHolloway-810 ..like a fierce tiger.

Dave! 🤘🏻🍺🔥🔥😁

@@RogerChance3902 I'm still on my phone and having overheat issues with the laptop. I'm spotty these days. I'm seeing everything though.

@@80mtn Hope you get it fixed soon! That kinda of stuff frustrates the hell out of me. 🍺😖

Thank you! 😁

Thanks so much!

Taylor Swift ain't got nothing on ex-boyfriends.

Pretty epic burn 🤣

Thanks! 😊

That's awesome! 😆 👍

I wouldn't say they are demure off stage. Cute, likeable, respectful and humble maybe, but they have some spice off stage.

@@MrsRealistic What they have is a lack of ego. Their social media is about their on stage personas and there is never a word about their personal lives.

@@bandmaidfanATL Egoless.

Well, the Spokes-Pigeon is not particularly Shy. Also never play poker with her at the table.

Of course! I should have thought of you when I started covering Japanese bands! 😄 I bet there are Mega fan girls and boys over your way!

@@MrsRealistic You're definitely right. After seeing your reaction, I asked a few students about Band-Aid. One of the girls told me that her aunt has a Band-Aid car. The car is completely covered in photos of the band. Of course, people here overdo many things. For example, we have themed 7-11s here. You can see Pokemon stores, One Piece stores, Spy Family stores. And the restaurants are worse. One near my home is called "Toilet Restaurant". Food is served in toilets and urinals. Ice cream is shaped like poo. Another, unfortunately it's closed now, is an H. R. Ginger teahouse. He's the artist who created the alien for the movies "Aliens". The furniture was shaped from his artwork. Creepy!!!

@johnstrome007 honestly, my kids would LOVE the Toilet Restaurant 🤣🤣🤣 The Asian culture is just different... cheeky, but funny. I would love to visit Japan. My ex husband traveled there twice for work and said it was one of the coolest places he'd ever gone!

@@MrsRealistic If you ever plan to go, check things out carefully and plan everything yourself. You will be extremely surprised how cheap things are. It's funny that you mentioned Japan now. My son has been trying to convince us to buy a new house. Today, he was looking at houses in Japan. He showed me a 35 year old three bedroom house in Sweden Village. It's twenty minutes from Mount Fuji. It's $70,000usd.

Oh, ONLY?! 😄 Piece of cake! 🤣

Yup, I'm in for it!

@@MrsRealistic Next maybe you could check out the official live video for "Domination" and the MV for "Shambles." 😁👍

Awesome thank you! I have heard of Halestorm and Plush. .. but no songs come to mind right off the bat 🤣

I second this

I love the unique costumes! They're 5 badass girls!

SAIKI (the Lead Singer) was essentially "tricked" into the maid costume. She did not wear the apron even at the first show. They made her wear it by cornering her in the dressing room! Here is a video of the first show with SAIKI not wearing the apron. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tQPIvADL42k.html

The best!

Wow! No kidding! Well, this is a great middle finger to him! 🤣

Thanks for that info! 😁

That's... EPIC

😂😂😂😂😂

Yes they are and they keep getting better

I'm waiting for my favorites to come to Texas!

@@MrsRealistic When Band-Maid tours the US they almost always do Houston and Austin. They have a ton of fans in Texas.

@etoineschrdlu9382 oh that's awesome! We're just outside of Austin!

@@MrsRealistic Band Maid Live 2023 , Full Show, May 14, Houston, TX. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0w9fT6SwaBA.html They also played this venue in October 2022. They had played it i just before the lockdown (2019?) and were worried that perhaps their fans had forgotten them. The Maids were overwhelmed by the loyalty of their fans and will not forget them.

Lo mejor de lo mejor, Nice.

Former ice queen. She’s really soft hearted now.

Ice Queen is outdated (and was always just an act, although she is naturally pretty shy). She's now "Super Stylist Saiki" based on the behind the scenes making of "Bestie" video.

Thank you!! 😁

Thank you! 😁

😆 Apparently not! No quote will hold water for every situation it seems!

How cool! That's a long concert!

That's what I thought too!

That's what I thought 🤣👍

Karlosthrgr3at: DAMNNN… is right! But you haven’t even scratched the surface yet! Try BAND-MAID music videos for SHAMBLES, WARNING, from now on, and ONSET! Then get back to me… More BAND-MAID please!

Thanks so much! 😁

You're so right! It just goes to show you that unless you've been to a certain country, don't take what the movies portray at face value!

You're so lucky! That's amazing!

Thanks so much for that explanation!

Thank you! 😁

Awesome thank you!! 😊

🤣 Yeah, that's pretty bad, lol!

🍺🤪

I love that!! 🙌

It was definitely answered in this song 🤣

It really is awesome!

Thanks so much for all of that info! 😊👍

This was definitely a middle finger to that guy! 😆

Yes, I've got a lot of The Warning videos! They're fabulous!

Thanks!

Aww thank you my fellow Canuck!! 🙏 All this great new stuff I'm checking out is so much fun! Cheers from one Canadian (living in Texas) to another! 🍻

😁👍

🤣🤣 OMG that's hilarious!

Exactly!!

Thank you for all of that awesome info! 👌

@@MrsRealistic You are welcome. Here is the remainder of that particular file so you know more about the formation of Band-Maid. Band Maid was started in 2013 by Miku Kobato. At the time she had just left the Idol Group, Lil Cumin and she didn't like the type of music she had been performing. She approached her management agency with the idea of making an actual band playing rock music but dressed as maids. She had worked in a Maid Cafe and thought the image of maids playing rockin music would create what she called "The Gap" between what you see and what you hear. The Management company was like Ok, go ahead. Miku then looked around and found Kanami a singer/songwriter who was posting her own videos on the internet. Miku had her agency contact her and Kanami thought the idea was cool and agreed to join. Miku then asked if Kanami knew a drummer who might be interested. Kanami had worked with Akane in the past and there is 2 versions of this, the first is, Kanami literally walked over to Akane's apartment and asked her, the second is Kanami called Akane and asked her. (Akane has said in 2 different interviews that 1: Kanami called her and asked if she could come over and 2: in a second interview Kanami just came over) Akane was actually hesitant as she had worked in an "All Girl Group" before and didn't enjoy it as it wasn't the type of music she wanted to play. After hearing a Demo, Akane was like ok, but was still slightly hesitant because of the "Maid Outfits", but she agreed to give it a try. Akane was asked if she knew a bass player and she had gone to Tokyo School of Music with MISA and had worked a couple of jobs with her. So Misa was contacted and after she heard a demo she was like I like the music, but she also was hesitant about the "Maid Outfits", but she relented and joined in as she really wanted to play the kind of music she heard in the demo. The 3 of them then "Auditioned" for the record company and passed the audition. Now we have the "Core" members. The 4 members worked out some songs provided for them by the record company, and a setlist and they had performed 3 times with just Miku on main vocals. Miku after those performances felt that her voice wasn't powerful enough to really perform the songs she wanted. So she approached her management company again and asked if they had any singers who weren't in other projects. They then auditioned several singers. Miku heard Saiki rehearsing in a room across the hall and asked if she could be auditioned, the record company then had Saiki audition. Saiki was signed to the same management company and had done some work as a backup singer and dancer and was asked if she would be interested in auditioning for this new group which currently had 4 members and she would be the fifth. She had been a member of a group with 8 other people as a backup singer and dancer, and HATED it. So she listened to the demo and thought "Cool" because she liked the music. Now we come to the tricky part. Miku KNEW that if Saiki was told about the "Maid Outfits" she would say NO WAY!, so they didn't tell her. They told her they would have "Cool/cute Clothes"(I've read it translated either way), and she never met Miku until a few days before they had a contracted performance. She wasn't told about the "Maid Outfits" until the day before the performance, and she had considered backing out, but she had signed the contract. (Saiki also had NEVER met Miku until then as well) So the Ladies, went and did the performance and Saiki really, REALLY liked the crowds reaction and the music they were performing. She DIDN'T like the apron she wore so it got ditched after the first performance. And you now have the beginnings of the BEST LIVE HARD ROCK BAND in the WORLD! ALL HAIL BAND MAID!!!!! Now that we have the Full band, it was felt that there needed to be a second guitar. Saiki was like, "Not Me, No Way." So Miku said, "I'll do it.", at first that was literally all she did, was hold the guitar and mime playing it, until Akane said, if you are going to hold it, you NEED to learn to play it. And Miku said, "Ok.", and Kanami started to teach Miku how to play. The Ladies released their first album in 2014 "Maid in Japan" which failed to chart, but later after "Thrill" it was reissued and charted to #26 in Japan. Then in 2015 they released "New Beginning" On New Beginning was the song that changed Band Maid's entire existence. "Thrill"... The band was getting ready to release their first music video and the choice was between "Love, Passion, Matador" and "Thrill" and the ladies chose Thrill. (Little known fact, Miku helped with the lyrics on Thrill but did not get credited) This became the seminal moment of Band Maid. Because their second album charted at #64, the record company was seriously considering disbanding the Ladies and switching them to other projects. (In fact they had Kanami and Akane work with Mochi to Cheese thinking that when Band Maid cratered they could use them in another band. MISA had also just started working with Mochi to Cheese as well). However about 6 months after the video's release, a Facebook page "JRock Radio" posted the video to their timeline. And the video went viral. Having over a million views in just a few short weeks. The Ladies Twitter page got so many hits they thought their page had been hacked. Their RU-vid channel also started getting more and more subscribers and views to Thrill. Now the ladies knew where their fans wanted them to go. Harder Rock, less pop. And history was Maid. Many of us have much more information we would be delighted to share. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you! Cheers back from Texas! 😊👍

I wish I could see that live!

I've got a good list for them too! Stay tuned! 😉

You're exactly right! I hate 99% of all the new trash on the radio.

@@MrsRealistic I've been around for about 7 decades now and have seen many of the greats from 70's & 80's rock. IMO bands like BandMaid, The Warning, Love bites are the best thing that's happened to rock in at least 35 years. Convinces this ole guy that women should rule the world. Keep up the good work!

Warning 👎👎👎

@@darkz3741 lol

Hanabie. 'Osaki ni shitsurei shimasu'

Hard Rock...Rock...Punk Rock, the lines can get blurred pretty easily. Have a nice day 😊

This song in particular and a lot of their newer material has lots of elements of traditional Heavy Metal, as much as you likely don't like associating that metal term to Band-Maid. Metal is just a sub-genre of Rock and they tend to blend a bit of it in their songs.

​@@roygillotti4615It's not metal, from any point of view, they want to see it like that, it's something else, any song that reacts to BM they say is metal. But anyway, fans.

I've had a ton of requests, you're right! 😉👍

@@MrsRealistic I normally get blamed for most of them! Thanks for checking them out. 🍺😁

@@RogerChance3902 because you're normally the one that requests it! It's hard to blame us for reality.

@@evilducks3710 🍺😁

mmm, are Who losing it ?

That's great! 😄 Thanks for the info!!
