Note that "Different" was a command for an anime intro, like "Sense". So some lyrics might sound a little weird. But Miku is a little genius of words, and even if it's for a specific purpose she will always insert an uplifting message. So you can listen to the song without knowing the anime it reffers to and feeling good, thanks to the little pigeon.

Great reaction. The band was formed by Miku Kobato the rhythm guitarist and back up vocals. She is also the lyricist. Kanami Tono the lead guitarist writer and composer. Miku worked in a maid cafe and came up with the idea.

From Japan, thank you for BAND-MAID's reaction. A little introduction to BAND-MAID. １　The band was formed nine years ago in 2013 by rhythm guitarist Miku Kobato. She was an idol singer in a group of three, but she was unsuccessful, and she got the idea to form a band, inspired by the maid café where she worked. 2　 BAND-MAID was formed by Miku as the lead singer, but during the two live performances, in order to make it an ideal band, she thought about adding a more powerful singer. Saiki joined the band and became the current five members, and it hasn't changed until now. 3　 After the formation, songs were provided by composers outside the band, but Kanami continued to compose, and three years later her song was adopted 2016. Since then she has composed and arranged songs for BAND-MAID. The lyrics were written by Miku from the beginning, and now Saiki is also starting to write the lyrics. Now, all five members ideas have been poured into one song, made by them, and played by them.

The amount of shredding that takes place during the start of Different is so goddamn good, it blows my mind every single time. Every single instrument is just doing God tier riffing, and I'm so jealous, but also proud. The maids are everything I've wanted to see for decades.

Well, Miku (backup singer/rhythm guitar) sang in a small group that didn't go anywhere. Being without a job she worked for a time in a traditional Japanese Maid Cafe. Not like your typical domestic house maid. In the Japanese maid cafe the wait staff both serve food and provide entertainment. Females typically perform song and dance dressed in these anime style French maid outfits. Miku, rather than trying to join in with another group, decided to form her own band singing the style of music she wanted to perform. So, she used the uniform style of the Maid Cafe and a hard rock sound to create their "GAP" and called it Band Maid.

Sebs, great reaction. This concert was online with no audience. BAND MAID in front of the audience push harder, harder than this and...this concert was amazing as always. At the beginning of the solo in Dice, Kanami (lead guitar and main composer) had a difficult moment starting the riff with the first note. They are real. The band was started by Miku (red rose) who is backing vocals and rythim guitar. In most of the songs they are talking about 'their' fight to become a rock band and they transfer this 'fight' for the audience trying to encourage them to fight for their dreams. Keep going

During their online acoustic concert they even talked about their maid uniforms being their "fighting" clothes.

Great reaction, Sebs! Saiki (vocals), has a rich timbre to her voice that is pleasant to listen to, and she has great stage presence as well. As for favorite song? That's a more difficult question to answer! There are a couple of running jokes among maidiacs regarding a favorite BM song: Q: What is your favorite BM song? A: The last one I listened to. Q: What are your top 5 favorite BM songs? A: (lists 20+ songs) When you get a chance, try checking out Play (live), Onset (live instrumental), Freedom (live), and Wonderland (live). All are on their official channel. Looking forward to more reactions as you continue your Band Maid journey. Have a good one!

The whole Band-Maid story is just super inspiring. It'd make a great movie. I hope they make it. I'll audition to play myself as Kanami's bonnet!

She can sing in tune and has a good range- end of.

Well, I've got good news, and some more good news. First, they're even better live with a crowd - this was a livestream in front of nobody; and 2: the more you listen to them, the more you notice and they just keep getting better and better until you want to explode from excess happiness.😃 I'd check out Real Existence Official Live and Domination Live from their channel - although there are so, so, so many great ones - you won't believe until you get there, but after 75 songs under your belt, you're still nowhere near done and you still haven't heard a single song that isn't great to OMG! And yes, their lyrics are mostly very uplifting and so is their music. I've never seen a band that can put so many catchy choruses into so many complex and musically interesting songs.

Thanks Seb!

Their music makes you smile, pumps you up and gets you going. Love everything they do!

The one who started the band and came up with the whole concept is Miku Kobato the guitarist and second vocalist with the red rose in her hair. She actually worked as a maid in a cafe . She is also the main lyricist in the songs you so much like and enjoy. The lead singer named Saiki was actually the last one to join Band Maid. Hope this tidbit helps.

Nice reaction. Now from the same stream check out MANNERS/BLACK HOLE - going from groovy/bluesy Rock to 220bpm controlled melodic mayhem. US Tour starts this Sunday. I pray all goes well as I won't see them till towards the end of the month. Never been so stoked to see a band since the 70's. Don't forget the amazing instrumental ONSET-LIVE and the power ballad DAYDREAMING. I could list another 50 amazing songs easily. The Awesome BAND-MAID NEVER disappoints. Peace. 22.1

Just to be clear, the band's founder is Miku, the second singer/rythm guitarist. 21 days. No Sleep Til Fillmore 🤟

@@Badllamah It'll be really interesting to see what their setlist is for Aftershock, since it's a different audience, sort of. I would assume that they'd pick some of their harder more "metal" songs, but I also never to assume when it comes to these ladies! I think I'd start with one of their known crowd pleasers to get the "hey! hey!" thing going, and then just keep going hard for the rest of the short set.

what you experiencing with Band-Maid is why people love them... this music right here not only nostalgic to some but uplifting... most rock/metal are either angry or sad but Band-Maid choose more positive emotion in their song...

Not saying this live version of DICE isn't awesome. But this is one of the rare occasion that the MV is better.😁🤘

There is the point. :)

Miku, a maid, found Kanami on line, who invited Akane, who begat MISA...Miku then fired herself as lead singer and hired Saiki, for a twin vocal setup. When Miku started BAND-MAID, she did not play guitar, just carried it around like a piece of jewelry. Then Kanami started teaching Miku to play.

BAND-MAID will do that to you. No matter the subject of the song, or if the song is on the slow side or fast, light or heavy, there's something about the music that makes you feel good each and every time. You've barely scratched the surface of what these amazing women have created so far and what's yet to come. Keep it up!

Another great reaction ! Keep them coming I will be here for it !

I love Kanami's face when she misses a note in her solo in Dice, just the cutest "Welp" look ever. Different really suffers from Kanami being low in the mix, it makes a song with a crap ton going on into a little more of a muddle than it really is. The songs Different, Sense, Glory, and Carry On Living were all used for anime openings. The lyrics are often specific to the anime they were written for. In the case of Different, they relate to the world of Log Horizon: Entaku Houkai. That's why they sometimes don't quite jibe if you're trying to approach them from "the real world."

@@warthogphil Thank you for clarifying, Mr Warthog :)

They do have some "dark" songs but always a light at the end feeling. They are a breath of fresh air. Western rock can be such a downer now. It's all about their addiction, dead friend, bad relationship. Geez would it kill them to be positive for once!?

When I first discovered Band Maid about a year and a half ago and listened to Onset or Wonderland I would have a similar reaction--a palpable emotional reaction. Not even any particular emotion but really noticeable. Two great songs!

If you like their uplifting lyrics, definitely check out the official live manners video with english subs. The lyrics on the song are incredible. Maybe my favorite in their catalogue.

Will be seeing them in D.C. on 25th!!

Very tough to pick a "favorite" song, they all have something that while I'm listening to that song, at that time... it is my favorite. That may have not made sense. Oh well, try Real Existence Live, Warning MV, Domination Live, Freedom Live (fun one), Mortarium Live, Turn Me On Live, Secret My Lips, etc. Thanks for the reaction.

I was watching this live and I rembmer Saiki's voice was not in perfect condition at first - I mean she can do even better. Also I noticed that Kanamincho was missing here and there which is so rare to see. Having said this, still they are the best live band existing. You can't help falling for Saiki ;-)

Saiki power 💪

Brother this band will smash you musically while melting your heart and inspiring your spirit, no other band in my 63 years of loving and playing music has ever had such an impact, if I ever hit a blue funk Band Maid kicks it's arse for me, get emotional Sir cause there's a whole heap yet to come down the BM pipeline 😄 Viva the Maids peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎤🎸🍻

7:26 this is the topic of BAND-MAID’s song “After Life”. So I guess it should be your next BAND-MAID reaction

Awesome 😎 love band maid there music is so awesome my favourite band maid song is choose me

There's way more than one ( band to check out ) just saying !! As for Band-Maid, keep them coming my friend ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎👌 Try, " Play, " live.

Saiki said that Miku tricked her when she agreed to join the group, in that she didn't tell her about the maid uniforms.

Please check out more live stuff. Like their old stuff Real existence, Moratorium, puzzle etc.

The only thing similar between BabyMetal and Band-Maid is that they're female and Japanese.

Side effects of Band Maid may include: Joy. Uncontrollable smiles. Happiness. Head bobbing. Inspiration. Emotions. Careful, it’s contagious.

Not many reactors talk about Saiki (the vocalist). But dude, you've done it. For my personal opinion, she is one of the best japanese band female vocalists. Not many Japanese female singers and vocalists have unique voice like her (low and rasp voice but strong). I'd like how she passionate about the band and their music style, and her progress from the early of the band started until now. But the funny thing is, she was deceived by Miku Kobato (Rythm) to join the band after she listened their music but no one tell her that the band members should dress like a maid because it's the band concept. Lol

If you watch other videos from this online concert you get to see Saiki's "Crazy Eyes" at times that will burn holes through you. There was glimpse of it in this video.

they are the embodiment of passion.

BAND-MAID is a great way to start your day. i feel like if it were any other band, the constantly positive, uplifting lyrics might get corny at some point.. but that positivity is so infused in the music and in the way they perform it

They do amazing ballads as well. Saiki's voice really shines there. Check out the MV for Daydreaming. Probably one of the most intense and emotional guitar solos as well. At least in my opinion.

Saiki's dress and headdress is loosely based on the idea of a Spanish maid. But not much as she has never been keen on wearing a maid uniform. Likewise, MISA's is based loosely on a Chinese outfit...but probably more of a ninja than a maid, what with her being The Barefoot Assassin and all! It's probably just one of her many ninja discuises. Akane wears a sort of maid blouse but shorts with it. Miku and Kanami are full-on maids.

The lyrics to "Warning " and "No God" are very interesting. Hopefully you'll check those out but I would recommend "Sayonakidori " acoustic because it's only up for a limited time. Beautiful lyrics and it'll give you another reason why I'm such a huge fan. The versatility. Thanks and enjoyed the reaction.

This is their online show, it was quickly put together when 2020 tour got cancelled due to Covid. It's cool that they made the effort but, I don't think it has the best mix.

Shoulda done the MVs for these 2 imo - especially dice.

I have no real idea but I would say you have your maids and you have the hostess and an assassin on bass.🤘😎🤘

There're so many Japanese rock/metal bands recently, but it's rare to have such a deep, thick and powerful voice. Mostly, the other bands have high-pitched vocals, which, IMO, ruins its Rock'n'Roll feel. Saiki's vocal is so powerful and it brings tears in everyone's eyes...it happened to me, too. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

こんばんは、お疲れ様です。 Band-Maid、最高ですよね！彼女達の世界征服に協力してね〜！

DICE isn't as different as Different is different. Nor is Different as dicey as Dice is Dicey🤔But one thing's for sure... both are different as dice! 😉 Thx, Sebs! btw - Can't really compare BabyMetal with Band-Maid. One is an all female band where all members play and compose their own hard rock music. The other isn't and doesn't. ;-)

You are feeling emotion because that's ART. It's not throw away pop tunes that play in the background at your shopping mall. In the old days people would buy a single at the local record store, take it home, and play it over and over and over, because it was special, it evoked emotion. This is real music. Go listen to Killing Joke.

Please react to more Band Maid songs, Don"t you tell me Music Video, Puzzle live and Puzzle acoustic, thanks

For something a bit more on the other side of band maid... Check out daydreaming

dont get me wrong i like baby metal, but the only thing they have in common with these ladies is, there both from japan

Saludos react to Dice Music Video, thanks
