Angel-Maid's! So beautiful in this video in white! Five besties!

Congrats on 32+ years. I have a feeling this song will quickly become a lot of couples "song" as they go through life together.

I said on Reddit. Band-maid is too rare to chain with our expectations. Love them.

Introducing Band Angel! Co-written by Mike Einziger from Incubus. Definitely why you got the nostalgia vibes!🫶🤘

band maid can trigger your emotional musical overdrive

I admit I wasn't 100% on Bestie at first but now I crave it omg it's so good

Thanx always, JD!!!🤘😁

They are masters at building bridges. That note held by Saiki well into the guitar solo... mmm, chef's kiss

A4 I think for about twenty seconds at Least and meshes into the solo❤

[Bestie, co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus.] MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song and beautiful MV! Miku’s English lyrics (I bet with Saiki and Mikey-chan's influence) are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey & Band-Maid!

That guitar tone is straight up Incubus.

I will sound like a broken reccord since I said it on Ohrenje lyrics video, under their MV and another reactor, but between the lyrics by Miku and Saiki's voice, I can't help thinking that Miku wrote it thinking of Saiki and Saiki sing it thinking of Miku. I'm maybe way off, but in my head, that sound even more beautiful and powerful this way lol.

Miku's really good at writing lyrics that can fit different situations without sounding cliche, which is kinda difficult (though the freshness of the music probably helps too). I like all the possible interpretations and even more so the fact that there are so many that make sense 😊

Duncan, thanks for the reaction and comments. I've held off watching any reaction videos of this song until I watched yours first. I always appreciate your genuinely sincere comments. BTW, these ladies dressed in white remind me of the elves in Lord of the Rings. 🤩🥰😇

Thanks Elliot!! What a masterpiece right!? They do look very lovely and elven very much!!

this is what happens when 5 young ladies come together and decide their going to scratch and fight up every hill to get everything they can, now 10 yrs later they are "besties" and playing arenas, also, on a side note has anyone else heard that the U.S, dept of Immigration raised the price of foreign entertainers/artists visa apps 250% ??

Band Maid can do hard hitting and complicated music and rock the World. They can do tear jerkers and make you forget you are supposed to be grown up. Or they can adapt and make the simplistic sound work. There is nothing too complicated in Mike Einzigers music and the lyrics by Miku are sweet and nice. Akane makes the drums drive the song and improves the finished article no end. It works in its simplicity and after listening to it many times then it becomes a piece of comfort music. It literally makes the World a better place.

Great reaction. I love your comment "They're not trying to over stimulate, over complicate. They're not trying to do anything that isn't necessary for the song". Some other bands try to make it complicated because they want to show how good they are at writing complicated songs, but Band-Maid has never sounded like they're trying to do that. BM does it naturally, all the members are just trying to make the song better and perfect. That is what makes this band stands out from the others. Also, I have never seen the English lyrics, written by Japanese, literally makes Americans or British people cry. Thanks for sharing.

Saiki: "The off-white color worn by the members signifies the expectation for the future progress. I hope everyone can imagine how it will be colored and enjoy it together." Also Saiki, "When I listen to "Bestie", I get the image of traveling in the wilderness. I wanted to feel the same scenery and immerse myself in the world of the song with them, which is also expressed in the music video." @saiki_bandmaid 🦍🍌Correcto, this is a new collab song with Mike Einziger (Incubus), Po! Expect a little 😈when they collab with The Warning. All should be included in their new full album due out this Summer, Po! PS, Kanami's solo is akin to her Daydreaming solo >😭, and Akane + Kanami's backing vocals 😇

👍👍Awesomely awesome. One of my favorites. 🖖❤

Band Maid merchandise is on their website now for just a week. Shirts and posters etc.

Great reaction as always.. I read and watched this video about 20 times. But, I am getting from Miku Kobato-Sans lyrics that she wrote the lyrics for Band-Maid. Because they have become family and best friends. I guess it's just my opinion. Band-Maid is so progressive in so many ways.. Thank you for your reaction. 👍👍🕊️🇺🇸🎹

Dunk, if this is what heaven looks and sounds like, we had better clean up our acts! LOL! This video is beautiful in so many ways and ethereal, no angelic. The Maids, all dressed in white look angelic, especially Kanami, wither her gossamer lace "wings". She also takes us soaring into the heavens with her solo. This is such a stunningly beautiful visage from the foreground and background screens. The heartfelt lyrics penned by Miku really expresses what the bandmembers "besties" feel about each other. I hope this song and the associated video gets some airplay on radio and television. Band-Maid deserves a lot more recognition by the public.

They become Angels this time,

I Knew that you were going to like this. Still pretty heavy but so melodic. You mentioned Fear Factory- my God, that brought back memories. I saw them supporting Ozzy Osbourne in 1982? Great reaction- thanks.

From my understanding, Miku wrote all the lyrics. You can definitely hear Incubus's influence on this and it is no surprise and they co-wrote it.

This song has, i think, generated the best , the most interesting comments of all B-M songs..those who love it, those who dont..so im gonna comment on the commentors - you guys rock!!! 🤘 you too Duncan, your comments are always 100% genuine and im sure i speak for most if not all of us who appreciate your vibe - you rock big time! You're a trus bestie of the B-M Community!!!❤

I feel like I am swimming against the tide here….I’m not impressed. Saiki’s most underwhelming vocal. Too generic, too simple, Americans will love it.
