Old School Nerd Reacts to Band Maid Freedom LIVE!!!  

Haha yeah sorry about that, BAND MAID fans tend to be a very passionate group, so dont take it too personal. Lol

MISA (bass) has earned the name “barefoot assassin” for a reason. She is lethal and kills you without you noticing until it’s too late. She has, over the last few years, let that beautiful smile loose more often and it’s a joy to see. Band Maid is my #1 band currently (50 yr old 80s metal head here) but my #2 group is Aldious. Another all girl Japanese band. The singer has a very unique style that you’ll either love or hate. Try “We Are” for heavy or “Fragile” for the quintessential 80s power ballad. I swear it is up there with Bon Jovi or Def Leppard for power ballads.

This song is THE song that describes Band-Maid as a unit... a band. 5 mates having so much fun with each other with a song that not only is a crowd favorite, but a BAND favorite.... There is sooo much more to these ladies than what you have seen (80+ songs with a new album out in January 2021)... And away from the stage, they are so unassuming, so humble... so ...normal...

the smile of your face man looks so happy 😂😂😂😂😂

Honestly the bass player Misa is actually one of the most goofy members in the band. She is cool and badass when she performs, but during breaks and stuff she goofs around and makes funny faces with the other members. She also keeps a good alcoholic beverage on stage during each performance, she says it helps keep her nerves under control.

If you pay to much attention to the comments you will go nuts. Each band has all type of fans. Some tent to be a bit toxic plus the fact that most are at home bored as hell with this pandemic. Some of the more negative comments comes from non-muscian fans. This comment was before watching this reaction.

I just received my blu-ray disc of this concert yesterday, World Domination Tour. Two hours of pure happiness!! I am 58 years old and have been to many concerts in my life, mostly in the 80's. They are the most talented I've seen. The more songs you react to with these girls, the more you will love them. Looking forward to seeing more reactions. Thank You.

Trust me on this, after watching "Onset" Watch "secret My Lips" official MV.

Yes, as you were discussing at the end, watch "The Dragon Cries" music video. I think of it as a Hendrix-vibe late 1960's- early 70's bluesy psychedelic rock anti-Vietnam War protest or "the world/humanity is going to the crapper" type of anthem. It's all English, it comes with subtitles printed right on the video (no need to click the CC button), although the words are in Script-style so it's kinda hard to read (would've been easier in Roman or sanserif). Produced by Tony Visconti. Anyway, I like it, it's catchy, somber & kinda makes you think. Maybe a sign of the times (pandemic). Some fans say it's not this band's style of music, but I say, hey this is Band Maid, they can do & play anything they want. Thanks for giving them a chance. And if you don't know by now yet, Miku Kobato, the rhythm guitar & backing vocals, is the Founder of the band. She's very cute, *sigh ... sorry had to say it. Oh & one thing that is unfortunate at the moment with Band Maid is that their official music videos do not have subtitles. That was one thing I noticed when I first watched them & something you touched on. Hopefully they realize that they might connect even better through words if they add subs/cc, so that it fully binds their entire content of video, music & lyrics together for non-speakers.

12:00 Oops!... I Did It Again….. I like... I like me. My cat likes me My wife likes me My kids likes me The BAND-MAID fans likes me 😜 BAND-MAID serving their *Masters and Princesses* since 2013 🐦 2013 - 17 Shows 🐦 2014 - 67 Shows, *Maid in Japan Released January 8, 2014* 🐦 2015 - 61 Shows, *New Beginning Released November 18, 2015* 🐦 2016 - 101 Shows, *Brand New Maid Released May 18, 2016* 🐦 2017 - 55 Shows, *Just Bring It Released January 11, 2017, Saiki had throat surgery* 🐦 2018 - 49 Shows, *World Domination Released February 14, 2018* 🐦 2019 - 42 Shows, *Conqueror Released December 4, 2019* BAND-MAID first album was supposed to be labeled *Masters and Princesses* but they were worried it sounded too much like Metallica Master of Puppets. _RIP the great John Candy_

MISA also smiles in Real Existence (live) when dancing with Saiki.

Im actually a huge fan of how you confront your viewers. Its super refreshing and you know what you're talking about. Its very real.

Just think all its all because the rythym guitarist and back up vocalist and band founder put the band together LITTLE PIGEON MIKU

Me: Your opinion can't be wrong because it's an Opinion. MAIDiacs: You're entitled to your opinion....no matter how wrong you are. ....Lol! I LOVE MISA's bass solo throughout this entire tune....

great reaction,,i love these girls,,,as good as nightwish,,jinjer etc are,,,there is something about band maid that just makes you smile,,,,great musicians,,,song composition,,,notice how no verse is ever played the same no cut and paste etc

Such a fun song. Always love seeing people hear it and just start smiling. Band Maid are just amazing..is not many bands i can listen to everyday and not get tired of.. up until discovering them around 5 years ago if you asked my favourite band it would depend on the week or i would default to ac/dc or pink floyd..now days before i even think Band Maid cones out a my mouth 😜..honest reactions are always best don't listen to the haters

If you want to hear more out of the singer check out wonderland or any of the acoustics they've done puzzle or anemone

Song is catchy as hell. There is not a weak link on that stage, unbelievable virtuosity on display. And Akane is having the best time on her solo. Misa is one of my favorite bassists going. Everyone is bringing the joy.

Don't pay too much attention the critic, fandoms can be quite toxic sometimes, and the internet is what it is. I personally think you're a fantastic and insigtful reactor. I hope you'll continue to share your genuine toughts and impressions without minding to much the comments!

I've been a Band-Maid fan for years. I don't worry about the lyrics most of the time there's usually something lost in translation anyway. I treat the voices like like another instrument. I listen to Korean, Chinese, Russian, Mongolian, Spanish etc... music. Most of the time they don't have subtitles. I suppose I could Google the English translation of the song. I usually don't. I just like the music. I grew up listening to Frank Zappa RIP. In a couple of months or years of listening to international music you'll know what I'm talking about. Right now my 3 favorite girl bands I listen to is Band-Maid and Babymetal both Japanese bands. A Korean band Blackpink. Thanks for liking Band-Maid.

yeah forget about the language issues. I'm a native japanese and still need to check out the lyrics to fully understand what she sings about.

great reaction, as usual, you are very deep in your comments. When you ask for advice on which Band-Maid songs to use, the answer is very difficult, I would do them all. it's true exactly as you say, they have a lot of fun in concerts and drag you into their fun without escape. They are also very funny in a Band-Maid concert, anything can really happen spontaneously, you can see hugs in the middle of a song, stroking her hair, or Miku lifting Kanami's skirt while she does a solo, Kanami tripping and almost falling while jumping like crazy. Kanami overwhelming Saiki, as I have seen, and Saiki bursting into laughter as Kanami keeps jumping around. Miku losing things around the stage, Misa drinking while she plays, Akane disappearing behind the drums as she continues to play, I don't know how she did it, because she was taking something apart or she lost something I don't know. In the break, Miku talks to the audience and doesn't notice that no one can hear her because her voice comes back through the guitar and whistles everything and all the girls burst out laughing while Miku doesn't understand what happens. (I think someone has put a video of this). All of this is also very funny they are also very spontaneous. Many say that Saiki is cold as an iceberg, I don't believe this, I think Saiki is very sensitive and may be shy and she must have her time to really get into the game, you can see from the videos in japan with her fans she is immediately ready and starts like a rocket, in Europe in 2019 I saw her enter the stage too determined with a very fixed gaze, and only when the audience reacted did she really free herself. Your reactions are among the best on youtube, sincere congratulations. Alex

Check out Real Existence. Misa and Saiki have such a great a great reaction. They are smiling and laughing through out most of the performance. Oh. By the way. In case that you do not know Misa is the Bass player and Saiki is the lead vocalist. Yes Band Maidiacs are very protective and passionate, but please do not let that deter the fun of discovering their music. I believe that they are supposed to be dropping a new single either tomorrow or in the next few days. Their new album will be released in January.

Watch a rare moment when Misa smiles on stage. BAND MAID / REAL EXISTENCE (Official Live Video) at 1:38

If you want to see more of MISA the bassist smile check out Real Existence (live).

Clearly those who thought you were being derogatory about being "tight and in the pocket" are clearly not musicians. It doesn't mean stiff and boring. It means, like you said, precise and staying within the context with the song. The pocket is where the groove resides. Just like what Victor Wooten says, "can't hold no groove, if you ain't got no pocket". Some Band-Maid fans are passionate to a fault. I could be extremely pedantic and say that you didn't give Miku enough love for her vocal performance here, but I won't because I saw your reaction to it in real time. I could tell that it was unexpected and it adds yet another dynamic to the song.

I think the problem is that most people watching your videos aren't musicians so they just don't understand that calling someone consistent is some of the highest form of praise. I love your reactions, they are teaching me a lot.

These two songs by BAND-MAID are completely sung in English. Hope you react to these as well.

Wonderland is where Saiki really shines.

when you saw MISA smiling, the reason she was smiling (if you look very close) you will see Akane sticking her tongue out at MISA and Saiki.. GOLD!!

Something you might like to check out is a Rock Band from Monterrey MX - The Warning (Now signed with Lava Records) This impressive trio of sisters - Daniela 20 (guitar, piano and vocals), Paulina 18 (drums, piano and vocals), and Alejandra 15 (bass, piano and vocals), have elaborate musical affinities. They have participated in some of the most important rock festivals in Mexico such as Vive Latino, Hell & Heaven, Mother of All, Pal Norte, Force Fest and Rock al Parque in Colombia. They have also opened for Def Leopard (2 nights) & The Killers (2 nights) It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page ru-vid.complaylists Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) 
are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote them Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert Dust to Dust ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TeIbG8nkOiU.html Ugh ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aHUz9dR3gwg.html Dull Knives ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pt-jNW1c1T0.html Red Hands Never Fade ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s1X3BxxUOBk.html QOTMS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OHN0-arxsx4.html Check them out.

Lol great reaction ......just enjoy the musical experience with Band-Maid.....thanks from 🇨🇦

Laser focused... more like ultra nervous. 😆 That’s MISA MISA MISA for you.

Yeah, I love Kanami's snarl during her solo, even though it got wiped out by a perfectly-timed flash...somebody got a great shot!

Rockstars!

IT TAKES 5 WOMEN TO KICK ALL METAL BANDS ASSES , THE BEST METAL BAND EVER PERIOD!

Im of the opinion you do not need to apologise my friend for your views, you call it as you see it. If they dont like it, tough. You got my vote!! Now, Misa. There is only one other musician I have witnessed on stage that stands mostly expressionless and that is Tony Iommi of Black sabbath but his stage presence is awesome!! Im 59 and my first concert was Kiss late 70's and I have seen more bands live than I can poke a stick at and my opinion of band maid live is this, I thought I had seen it all until now, enough said!! Great reaction by the way big lad 😎

Hey man, sorry if folks came down on you hard. Band-Maid fans are super protective of our girls, especially in 2020. If we had our way Band-Maid would be blasted into every home and on every phone on a regular basis.

信じられないだろうが、このキュートなリードギタリストのKANAMIは、BAND-MAIDの曲のほとんどを作曲しているのだ。Believe it or not, this cute lead guitarist, KANAMI, composes most of BAND-MAID's songs.

Please don't worry about negative comments, all do not like same strain of paint. Please continue being yourself 🙏

Wow isn't this a great group I'm so having so much fun listening to it turn it back on

MISA MISA MISA BEST BASSIST ON THE PLANET

Happy? With Band-Maid always.

Great Honest reaction of the Band Maid Live performance..and plus you didnt have to stop it every 10 seconds!!

BAND-MAID support comment. This is their happy audience sing-a-long song. BAND-MAID is just the happiest band on earth. For real.

Speaking of old school, you should Google "Jimmy Page Band Maid". Spoiler alert, he was blown away especially by one member and said she was the reincarnation of a member of Led Zeppelin. You'll have to Google it if you want to know who. If you go back to Dice, you might see it differently. Also, check out the music video of Rhinne. It's one of their heaviest songs in my opinion . And lastly have to give a shout-out to the song Real Existence. They played 5 shows in America last year. One night at HOB in Dallas. Tickets sold out in ten minutes and shot up to 300 a piece an hour later. I couldn't afford it 😭. Next time around I fear lot of Americans will know how good they are and it will be harder to get tickets.

I love The Dragon Cries. Both because it has a cool bluesy sound and that it has a deep message. It is as far from their usual sound, that they have been, so far

Also 45, also been pretty much uninterested in Rock/Metal for about 15 years. Discovered this band a week ago and just can't stop listening. I keep getting the urge to point out how great this member or that member is, but that would be a disservice to the others because they're just all so damn great! This performance in particular has got to be my favourite simply for how much fun they're having with it and each other. It's infectious as hell and a beautiful thing to see.

So happy you get them, enjoy like we do !

I listen to a lot of bands that sing in languages I don't understand. The vocals simply becomes another instrument to me. I love a band that smiles and have fun on stage.

You know what makes me laugh man? I saw this reaction when you posted it. And I felt so good for you when you proclaimed that you were so happy & thankful to have 1000 subscribers. I was one of them. Now look at you man! As I type this you have 76,900 subscribers. And that's all down to you man. You have what it takes to encompass your audience. Knowledge & experience. Sincerity & humour. Insight & compassion. Your future is set mate. Cheers.

You know that's the difference between fans and musicians. Don't take us too seriously and just enjoy their music.

Jimmy Page saw them live and wanted to meet Akane (drummer) because she reminded him of John Bonham. That's quite the compliment for her!!!

MISA smiling and laughing lol? Whiskey must have kicked in hahaha.

I strongly recommend a fan video of a BAND-MAID gig last year in Hamburg. Search for "BAND-MAID Hamburg and Take me higher" on RU-vid It will blow your door off, guaranteed! The band members have all very interesting characters. If you want to learn more about search for: Music Gold Rush 73 Band Maid Part 1 Eng subs Music Gold Rush 73 Band Maid Part 2 Eng subs

Yeah :-) They're special. Welcome aboard. Regarding gaining subs, and also "showing enough love" to any artist, just do you. Stay honest - it's obvious when you are or aren't - as you have been and it'll all be fine. Do this for fun and as a hobby, let anything else that comes from it be a bonus. Good luck with your channel!

I’ve been following Band Maid for near 5 years now. I love seeing new people discover them. Good reaction. 👍👍👍👍👍

To the point you made about 7 minutes in. The way I normally describe that is if an entertainer isn't enjoying their work, how could I possibly enjoy their product? They definitely enjoy their work, and I'm right there with them. Can make up for some talent when it isn't there, but not a problem for them.

I appreciate honesty over trying to appease to thin-skinned fans. You do you, man.

Yeah... Some fans can be really rough sometimes. I am an HUGE fan too, but i did understand you what you were saying, maybe there is also sometimes an language barrier or something. I mean i am from Germany and english is not my mothertongue f.e.! Band-Maid has fans from ALL OTHER THE WORLD, so MAYBE there was just a misunderstanding. But that´s in all Bands with passioned fans, so it´s nice that you talked about in a calm way and you earned my sub afterwards. Have a great week and i wish you a lot of fun by discovering this unique and IMO best rockband on the planet! P.S.: They are around for round about 7 years and they have round about 100 songs and an album almost every year... WORKHORSES!

They're all number one

Imho, I thought your previous comments were very insightful. You have no reason to change what you're doing. I enjoy very much your honesty and the way you explain things. subscribed

Loved the intro :) great reaction, welcome to the club.

Good stuff. I'm old school also and passionate fans are usually a bit offended when others' reactions are not the same as theirs. Try just critically commenting on Buddy Rich vs. Max Roach battle or Jimmy Page vs. Jeff Beck vs. Clapton Yardbirds' guitarists and all hell will break loose. Of course you know all this and I found Band Maid 9 months ago and I am absolutely blown away by them but I know that when I play Miles Davis or Charlie Parker and my friends say they do not like the music I get a bit aggravated lol. Same with Cream. How can any Rock fan in their 60s not like Cream? hehe. I hear ya. Great Reaction! Happy now? haha

Haha..... cool.... Band Maid has a very large Internet fanbase... they are very passionate and each and every member of the band also has their own fanbase....

Nice reaction. Dont let the critics of critics faze you. You do honest reviews. As a bass player of 45 years, I’d kill for Misa’s tone. It cuts right through the mix but complements the drums and the lead.

MISA MISA MISA!

When they gather around the drum kit they’re making faces at Akane trying to distract her. Akane reminds me of Buddy Rich from the 1970’s. IMO she’s the best most versatile drummer in the game right now.

its ok dont worry about it

Now that your three songs in you are starting to understand the hype. The hype is because every song you hear will be like this, they really just don't make bad songs. Don't know why anyone would criticize for an honest reaction, obviously you liked them after song one, just hadn't heard enough yet. "Onset" will blow your mind! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Ready to stretch your genres. There's a band in KPOP, Onewe. They were a tight neighborhood band before the makeup & fashion. Their latest is Parting. Great vocals. Write, compose & produce all their songs. In they're early 20s.

Hi from the UK for another excellent band check out Ayreon this band has all guest singer's but it works really well Ayreon the day that the world breaks down ( 11 different singer's but not all at the same time lol) Ayreon (universe) age of shadows ( floor jansen and Marco from Nightwish ,hanci from blind guardian) Ayreon the eye of ra ( floor jansen and her sister irean) You really should check out Ayreon Don't think you will be disappointed

You said it well!!! FIVE LADIES GODDESSES!!! LIVE FOREVER BAND-MAID!!!

Their have their own style and we love it

i enjoy the way you do this.. 👍

And when you're ready, check out their BAND-MAIKO stuff too.

Great analysis of how great drummers work.

Love your reaction !

Great reaction. keep it going. you're funny. Band Maid is simply talented and fun.

Exactly. I can't understand Japanese. Well, maybe 1 or 2 words. doesn't matter. Whether it's: Band-Maid, Aldious, Unlucky Morpheus (not all female), BABYMETAL(backing band is dudes), Mary's Blood, Doll$Boxx. Now, Lovebites does sing everything in English, but definitely a Japanese band. And there are lots more of All female bands. For many, language just doesn't matter. Talent does. And the joy they bring. Me: 66. Going on 2.5 yrs OMG great Japanese rock music. Also Waggakki Band. Enjoy. And great reaction.

Hahahaha.. Well said again fella! Value your opinions and reaction to "what you are seeing /hearing." That's what its about right?!?......

Happiest hard rock in the world! Still... 'Manners' ... nudge, nudge. Mostly English lyrics, so that complaint goes by the wayside. 'Manners' (live) being serious funk/groove only adds to the experience. Love seeing a youngster like you discovering this group! Oh, and if you want to see a Misa-sama's beautiful smile in another awesome live performance, check out her dancing with the other band members and smiling in 'Real Existence'.

Stay the course on your expert/ critical opinions because that is why I subscribed to you. This is coming from a fansite member (never was a fanboy ever until now), older guy musician born in the 60's, who was a single dad to a daughter. What got me is that you figured out (I think on your first Band Maid rxn) that Kanami (lead guitar) had an extensive musical instrument playing background of some sort, just by the fact that she didn't need to look at her fretboard while she was shredding. BTW, I believe she is a classically trained pianist, who does most of the foundational compositions for the band. よくやった (yoku yatta - well done).

Welcome to the Fellowship of Maidiacs...don't let the haters get you down.

The greatest thing about Band Maid is that they provide two hours of adrenaline fun! Lead guitarist Kanami is the one who writes the score! Good reaction! It gets better!!

Time for Japanese metal goddesses... Lovebites doing "Shadowmaker" to start. Ready.....go!!!

Thank you. I appreciate your honest review.

10:20 Don't you love it when all of your excitement and joy hindering you from seeking the words to explain it, and in the end they're just culminated as a simple "HOLY SH*T!"? "So many people can play well, but they're not perform well." You sir, you have my respect.

I'm normally a lyrics guy. With Band-Maid I can look them up later, the music is just SO damn good. So from what I get from translation, since about 80% of this is in Japanese, is she's saying I am me, I do things my own way, and you can accept me as I am or go away. Delivered not with anger, but with determination and joy. I AM free. Rarely if ever has a band brought so much happiness. And I've read what I can and watched video interviews and when we on this side of the pond are lucky enough, there are English subtitles. And the more I learn about the band members, the more I respect and like them.

I know I'm commenting late but when you started speaking about Kanami, I remembered the first time seeing them live I was in the front row and she had her Solo like 1 feet in front of me. I was in heaven Bro, their live show were the best shows I've ever been to

Poor Chewie... I guess you experience the most common problem: People who don't get satisfied with a reaction. I am a member of a live reaction group on Twitch where i am the Band-maid-guy. In my case i was fine with his reaction, though he as you had problems with connecting with them. What i like with him is that he is honest. And i like your channel of the same reason :) ...yeah.... I love Freedom too! I was kind of let down by itis more mainstream somehow, but when i started disecting it turned to one of my go-to songs.

DING! DING! DING! Now You get it!!! :)

Japan bands: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance] , SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], SPIRITBOX [Belcarra], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], and many more...

Can we also recognize that they have the coolest gear? Just stare at the rhythm guitarist's axe for a few seconds. It's Beeeeutiful.

I love Band-Maid...who I feel are some of the best instrumentalists I have ever seen...and they have a huge variety in their music. They have some of the most musically complex songs I have ever heard. Don't be afraid of Band Maid fans...lol...they re extremely passionate. Unleash the Archers is my new favorite band...Tonight we Ride is great...but I really love Apex, Abyss, and Legacy. As a fellow recent metal revivalist...a few recommendations...BabyMetal(Japanese Metal Band ala Dragonforce with a trio of teenage girl vocalists...yeah...I know...but one song and you will be hooked)--Headbanger, Road to Redemption, Rondo of Nightmare...and then...enjoy...lol Also...Amaranthe has a very unique sound feel and presentation with trio of lead singers, male and female clean vocals and a growler who can spit some serious rap metal sounds...some songs are AWESOME...others are a little pop-metalish. Check out Helix, BOOM1!, Digital World, and Invincible. Then...Sabaton...ummm...Swedish War History Metal??? Their live performances from Woodstock in Poland are amazing...particularly 40:1. But they literally do not have a bad song. 82nd all the Way and Bismark are two of my favorites. Then...travelling a little far into the obscure and oddly satisfying... Nanowar Of Steel - Valhallelujiah--- LOL and Wind Rose. Dwarven Power Metal...exists. Diggy Diggy Hole and Drunken Dwarves are great places to start. Then The Returning Race for slightly different feel...

Great reaction video! The Maids cook up something different every song, always tasty and served with a smile! One song they do without a single smile, however, is the MV for Daydreaming, an excellent power ballad and one of my favorites.

Dragon Cries, produced by David Bowie producer, and the band was brought to attention by the guy who does Sponge Bob Square Pants voice animation character , and he actually wrote the lyric for the song at producers request. The 2 singer flew to NY with the stems for the music. How fuckin weird is all that ??? BTW , you probably don't realize that this clip is different to all other versions. Better shots, and lighting is somehow better, although exactly same performance . S so thank you donator for that again, as this clip is a GEM !

See the smile Akane/drummer as soon as Kanami/lead gutarist took her limelight when she start slipping her own solo, I feel that smile,

Hello OSN! Don't forget to check out Band-Maid's 'The Dragon Cries'! It's VERY well worth a listen ;)

Old Nerd! Greetings from Shizuoka, that little place in Japan under the benign care of a dormant volcano called Mount Fuji! Being a (very) old nerd myself and living in japan, and fighting for recognition of Band Maid, you have my (humble) respect! Sorry to be so late commenting on your reaction, but late is better than never! Do not worry too much. You are wiser than loads of so-called fans. You show a lot of grace by explaining things that should not be. You are a reactor, full stop. The only thing I worry about you is that you embarked yourself (I will be rowing with you) on an endless trip with five tiny giants that many a person will soon claim they are their best fans! Let us enjoy that trip together and forget the unwanted waves, our boat does not care! Blithering me, I almost forgot to mention: Bleedin' good reaction from you! Alright I will row to the next one! LOL Best regards, Robert-Gilles
