Saiki carried this song. Her development as a vocalist is a story of its own. Since her vocal surgery, her voice has blossomed. So happy for her and the band.

Great reaction. This song was a love letter they wrote from the band to their fans. Before performing the song Saiki talked about the struggles over the past year and was very emotional about what this song meant to them. Here is the English translation of what she said. Saiki: We were supposed to meet you today. For the first time in a year, we thought we could meet you all, those of you who could come to see us, but we can’t meet you in the end. I’m sorry. Even though it’s not my fault. We have been having days of turmoil for about a year. In the beginning, we were very surprised because we hadn’t experienced it before, and we had no experience of not being able to meet others in person. We were sad, but we found we shouldn’t be sad in this situation. When I saw you masters and princesses on social media, you were more depressed than us, and we thought that’s terrible. We Band-Maid have been thinking about how to cheer up all of you in the last one year. We truly wanted to meet you at Nippon Budokan, but it’s impossible because of COVID, so let’s wait for the day when we can meet. And in the last one year… or in the COVID pandemic, we have become more eager to cheer you up, and we Band-Maid realized again it’s important to give our songs to you. That’s why we wrote this song for Budokan. We made the album also in the pandemic, so it might have a little similar feel, but this song is planned for Nippon Budokan, and we really want to give it to you masters and princesses now. Budokan is not our goal but just a stepping stone. We will perform at bigger venues, and we promise we will bring you there and give you even better songs, so let’s keep it up a little more. This is our present for you masters and princesses. Please listen to it.

Many bands can write, sing and play, but only Band-Maid produces large amounts of good songs continuously. Hardworking and never stop.

🐦 On Feb. 14th, 2020 concert *BAND-MAID* announced that they were going to play at *Budokan* on Feb 11th, 2021 playing at *Budokan* is like reaching the top of Mt. Everest but due to Covid the concert was canceled. In the live streaming concert *Saiki* address the fans and said how much *BAND-MAID* missed performing live to their *Masters and Princesses* and was followed up with this song that *BAND-MAID* has made for their fans. 🐦 On May 10, 2021 *BAND-MAID* had a live streaming concert.

Thanks to Kanami,, as she is the composer of their songs....she deserves praise.,.

Saiki always sings her heart out!!!! This one gives us her soul!!!😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤

They just released a LIVE Thrill....GO GET IT!!!!!

This is how to do ballad song ....rock/acoustic /ballad ....no one can beat them today .....seriously speaking ...

Its OK to let the tears flow. This song is about what WE ALL are living through. Not able to be doing all those things we used to do. Soon we will. I asked you for this one when it came out (as I wipe a few tears away). Now go check out WONDERLAND. It is not as soft as this one. Now watch it again, read and feel the music and LET THE TEARS OUT. It is healthy.

First time for me that he hasn't ran out of the room losing his mind lol

Yeah this song is amazing. The girls killed this one. Miku was the one that held my eye.

No your not the only one that had tears. JustJen brought the tears. Which started me with the tears. I even told her in the comments to cut it out, she was making me cry.

If you want more ballads from them go check out Daydreaming or Endless Story.

So you never heard Band-Maid do a ballad! Well Mr. Rock n Roll I think it’s damn time to react to Daydreaming! No procrastination!!

The more I heard Miku's lyrics the more I love her. She convinced 4 strangers to wear maid uniforms on stage and perform "cool" music, learned guitar, learned to sing and play the guitar, and writes some of the finest lyrics in music. Before someone says it, Yes I know Saiki is now working with Miku on the lyrics. Have you reacted to "Peace and Love" by cluppo (Miku Kobato) yet. It's her Jpop project.

BANDMAID is the BEST BAND to come out of Japan or anywhere else for that matter! It’s hard to comprehend the Talent Level of this band...................they are off the charts! Every day of my life is a “treat” not knowing if BANDMAID will release another AWESOME SONG! FANTASTIC!

Wonderland live (uplifting), and Daydreaming MV (sometimes you just want to hear a sad song).

I am loving Saiki more and more each time I watch a Band-Maid video. An amazing vocalist, a gorgeous young lady, and after reading the translation of her message below, she truly is a sweetheart of a human being. I truly hope one day to meet you and your bandmates too, Saiki.

Two new videos are still waiting. BAND-MAID / Warning! (Official Live Video) BAND-MAID / Thrill (スリル) (Official Live Video)

BAND-MAID 🧡 me and me 💚 BAND-MAID. Why? Because it's about ALL of Us.

I share your enthusiasm for Band-Made

This song is melting my heart....i felt it ...the lyrics is soòoo fucking goood ...

When listening to their ballads I completely get lost in Saiki's voice. P.s. There's a new old song uploaded today. Don't miss that THRILL ;) p.s.2.big shoutout to you from Bosnia and Herzegovina :P

Just received my vinyl collector copy of this today. New centerpiece of my vinyl collection. Love this song.

You just listened to ALONE, which is an oldy for them. I just finally got the CD with SCREAMING on it. The album is called START OVER. Its an EP with just two songs. I listened to SCREAMING six times on the way home at FULL BLAST in my car. 1000 watts. Its on the Club Shibuya concert show. WOW!!! SO GOOD.

"Daydreaming" is just as good... Maybe better because of Kanamis great solo! Music video is very nice. This song was meant as a surprise for the fans... so it was a heartfelt moment for Saiki when she had a speech before the song.

hell yeah. thanks for sharing. i did have tears. they are unbelievable

Band Maid and Lovebites have made my eyes water with absolute pride (proud of ten extremely talented women deserve to sit on the thrones of the rock and metal genres) on many occasions.

That bass. Misa can’t be overlooked in this one. That is some truly tasty bass playing.

THEY JUST RELEASED THRILL LIVE!!!!!!! OMG IT'S SOOOOO GOOD

Just happened to come across your reaction again. I checked out your reaction back when you first did it and funny to see you pleading for BAND-MAID to come to your area and now to watch it again after you saw BAND-MAID live in person. Hilarious.

Well done putting the pigeon in the thumbnail. This song was her idea and her passion. She wrote her soul into it.

Yeah! Well! Tears DID come out of my face. So I Win!!! Ha. Ha. That's got to be one of the most beautiful rock ballads ever done. In all respects. Those base runs from Misa just blow me away. The thumbnail for me, on this one, is Miku for those 'pristine' backing vocals.

Old metal heart shedding a tear, happens to me all the time watching and listening to Band-Maid, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made.

Heard this song for the first time tonight, then found your great reaction so I could listen again! Band Maids will have a new ballad soon named “Memorable”. Hopefully you got a chance to see them live in their recent US tour that ended Nov 1st. I was fortunate to see them in Chicago that evening. Was 10th in line at 5:30 AM, so managed to be on front railing 5’ from stage ! 💫

this song gets me every time, the chills are real and the tears also, this song is just brilliant! btw the chances are good they watched that video since Akane (i think iirc) said in a rather recent interview that they like to watch reaction videos as well as covers of their songs ;)

When you're the best Rock and Roll band In the world you can do anything you feel like. Band Maid Forever! Po!😊😎🤘🤘🤘🤘

Anenome is another real nice slow song. What you said at the start was NOT stupid. IT was PERFECT for what the song is about.

Yes it's completely different to their heavier material that you like but that’s what makes The Maids so special. The ability to produce beautiful atmospheric ballads like this then hit it heavy with Rinne. Sign of a great band to mix it up. Unseen World is completely different to Conqueror. This song wasn’t on their latest album but released afterwards as a separation piece between fans and the band. That they can't play live. This is a Miku thumbnail (though Saiki is not far behind). Has her name is written all over it. Beautiful vocals by a beautiful woman. Their acoustic versions of Anemone and Puzzle really highlight their light side with great acoustic guitar work from Kanami (reasonance and timing superb) and Saiki's emotional vocals. Daydreaming is a power ballad and you'll enjoy Kanami's solo (Akane's drumming of course too). Miku's backing vocal afterwards though just brings back that light emotional side that she's so good at singing as here. Ying and yang. Band Maid's all about creativity and diversity though and they show it here in About Us. They're a brilliant band with exceptionally talented women. Let's just hope the band can tour sooner rather later.

Endless Story and Awkward are great songs. Check them out

A most powerful and emotional song. I have the same reaction as you my friend...

Daydreaming will make you want to give them a hug and tell them, "It will be ok!".

And if I remember correctly, Daydreaming comes right after this. The ladies once again, like they always do, adds a new intro to keep the song fresh.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard this song and seen this video by now, but I always feel the same way as you do at the end. Goosebumps and a lump in my throat. Even before I knew the translation, the song did that to me from the instrumental alone. Needless to say, that it didn't get any better after I understood the lyrics. Can an artist/band give their fans a more beautiful gift than this?? ❣️ At this point I can't help but recommend the song 'Daydreaming' to you. This song may not be quite as calm as this one, but still falls into the same category and is just beautiful from my point of view. In fact, it is even my absolute personal favorite. I know that may be selfish then, but believe me, you won't regret it and simply belongs in your already decent collection of B-M songs. And even though it's rare with these ladies, for once I recommend the MV and not a live performance. 【 'Our rock never dies, ever. Forever!' - Band-Maid 】 🕊️

I like your opening and if Band Maid only played in Atlanta, I would be there ! Before the pandemic they were only going to play in Ohio, I had plans to be there at the Inkarceration festival 🤩🤘

Waiting for your reactions for Warning! Official Live and Thrill Official Live Video both from the same show os the sweet About Us Live

Yes, they are that good.

Another ballad like song is DAYDREAMING also if you can find it PUZZLE the acoustic version. BAND MAID is fantastically awesome!!!!

No, Brother... you're not the only one.......................

Just beautiful about this song and Band-Maid .

The thumbnail should be the picture where you first paused it with ALL FIVE.

I lost the Maidiac sweepstake then. You didn't walk out of the room once when hearing "About Us". Miku lost too tho, she bet you'd throw yourself out of the window :)

This song is sadness, longing, hope for the future and love, all for the fans.

this was a love song for the fans, to thank them for sticking with them during the lockdown

loved it !

Simply beautiful!!!

You should really check out daydreaming. Its my favorite band-maid song and that says alot considering I've got about fifty of their songs in my top ten

this song has brought me to tears the first time i heard it. Amazing song!

What other band would even think of this let alone produce a masterpiece. It shows the real depth of talent at every stage. Kanami of course with her writing skills but all the band and especially Saiki working to offer a heartfelt comment on a situation beyond all of our control. It also shows that Band Maid can expand their repetoire into other areas with the same masterful skills.

You're not alone wanting live music to re-emerge. Hopefully this covid-cocoon 🐛will result in some great shows developing🦋 . Excellent mixing on this recording. They make it look easy but we know it's not.

Dude I was near tears the first 10 or so times. It's simply one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and so much more poignant given its context and absolutely heart melting lyrics.

The ladies sure know how to make amazing music!

Son perfectas Band Maid las amo 😍😍😍 saludos desde México 🧐🧐🧐

Im in barbados. bands never come to my neck of the woods. I just get to enjoy them online. Good to see you back to them ive loved seeing you get up and rock out to songs... but in this i just loved the confused look on your face no knowing what to to do to this

Bro, they just upload the song THRILL official live.......... :)

"About Us", in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage and Smile, is an amazing song and personal message to their fans - a direction I'm glad to see them add to their journey toward world domination. And we get to hear MISA play the vibe she so enjoys. Stretch Band-Maid... Stretch with all your might. We're behind you 100! Their new DVD/BD/CD of this incredible concert has been ordered! Thanks Mr. RnR, for bringing "About Us" to your viewers!

Bruh... I always have tears of joy when I listen to them.

You need to check out their song Page

check out "daydreaming"!by bandmaid it's a perfect song !

Chills... oh yeah!

The greatest band in the world!

They smash everything, especially gates. If you're interested their new album is available in its entirety on their official channel under "Playlists" "Unseen World". It is relentless.

I just got the album BRAND NEW MAID. It is like Boston's first album. There isn't a yawner on it. OMG. They were just 2-3 years old as group. YOU NEED THIS ALBUM. Maybe react to just the music on Spotify or something?

Not that she doesn't always do it, but damn, Misa is putting in some work on this one.

So on the almost crying from hearing something you really like, yeah I do and have actually legit cried before, I was watching B-M's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA show and when they played Mirage Mincho's solo legit made tears spill out all over my face lol

Most versatile band, bar none.

Yeah that was cute now let's see how you react to Cluppo - Peace and Love

Simplemente una muy buena banda (o grupo) Todas unas maestras en sus instrumentos y vocales.

Great video. I think that now you ready for IGORRR ieud or cheval.

MISA!!!! MISA!!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃

I propose a new sabaton song "Defense of Moscow"

What you said at the start about bands need to play and WE need to get out to see them. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT.

You like ballads? Daydreaming is a banger

Reaction vid for The raven by rotting christ. Its good

Is there a composer who produces so many masterpieces?

You should react to Anemone, not only their best balled but one of their best songs period.

INDIO SOLARI: JIJIJIJI RnR LIVE in TANDIL !!! 300000 People !!!!

yes I agree with everything beautiful ballad and SAIKI met with the complete band before this performance and reinforced how important this was, and then we get THIS. So her image on thumbnail for this song, or a group shot if possible but she is the queen. ALSO, did you notice the little bottle of whisky behind MISA on the Orange amp? ha ha ha ha

I think the basic idea of ​​Band-Maid is to encourage ourselves and our listeners with songs. Sometimes it's a fierce song, and it's a ballad like this one. Before you were born, there was a singer called "Jim Croce". Immerse yourself in the same way as "about us". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EG6ZlCpfVvU.html

1:50 MISA's first slide on the bass...like a bolt of electricity up the Big Man's spine :-)) Oh man...if you see Anemone and Puzzle acoustic live versions...you will get misty-eyed. I think Saiki wiped her eye at one point.

This one is heart piercing awesome! Now go to the next piercing piece: "Daydreaming"

Are you sure you haven't heard them do a ballad? I could swear I saw you react to "Daydreaming". It's not as delicate as this one, but I would say that is counts as a power ballad. Every one of them went all in on this song, performance wise. But everytime I hear it, Misa's bass line just reminds me that she is the M.V.P. as her line weaves it all together. It's a beautiful love letter to their fans, so feel free to let the tears flow, brother. There is no shame in it. If you haven't heard "Daydreaming" yet, you have to do that one next! I just wish the Zepp Tokyo version was still on RU-vid as it has a chill/tear inducing piano intro that makes Saiki's first vocal line hit you like a sledgehammer to the forehead. But the official M.V. is badass too.

I'm guessing you haven't done "Daydreaming" yet? They can knock anything out of the park!

"A SOUND OF THUNDER - A Sound of Thunder" original video pleeeease...

Great song as per usual, but that bass.... holy crap.

Time to do daydreaming. By band maid ♥

Finally

Heath, we are working on a project to get some of these bands over here, as you always say you want. Do you have an email address? thanks,

Coincidence you post this on the day they do another online gig. Another awesome show too but they do miss the crowd interaction.
