"Not in a talkative mood, just want to watch Band-Maid" Song starts, mood is brightened Starts talking more. The power of band maid I tell you lol.
"I don't wanna talk a whole lot..." Proceeds to point out not only the good parts but stuff I never noticed before. You da man.
What Rush decided was that, given that three men couldn't reproduce every studio sound while playing their primary instruments, they would at least fire the sounds in real time as part of the show. If that's good enough for Rush, it's good enough for anyone.

I agree. She's the glue that's holding the solos together.
Something that always gets lost during Kamani and MISA'a duel is Akane's drumming. As always it's amazing and perfect.

I only recognized it after someone pointed it out to me, but absolutely, Akane's drumming is what weaves it all together and makes it a great moment in rock and roll. So good.
The explosion is Akane's great big splash. She adds so much in this song, especially behind the solos - the on-going heart beat.
Ok Champ.... a few points: 1. "Not in a talkative mood"?? See what Band-Maid did to you!! They changed that in a hurry. (lol) 2. The low vocals is Miku. Yes, there are pre-recorded vocals there, but Miku often takes the lower range (Choose Me, for one). She not only has a voice of a cute pigeon, but also a fierce dragon. 3. And on the subject of pre-recorded samples/tracks/effects and what not...... I used to have a problem with it..... till I saw how it could be done right (ie Band-Maid). They are usually triggered by either Akane or Kanami. 4. As much as I love a multi layered, complicated rock epic.... I equally love a straight up, simple "chugger". (Choose Me is actually my favorite B-M song.) AND FINALLY 5. Go back and listen to Akane's drum work during Kanami and MISA's jam. It is SUBLIME. A cool Band-Maid reaction again. Thanks.
It is Akane hitting a small china crash cymbal that is the effect you are hearing.
Yes, when it’s been ‘one of those days’ let a BAND-MAID song wash over your soul. You’ll feel better.
"Don't feel like talking much..." That all changes when Bandmaid starts in on you!!
"The crowd is hot as hell." So is the band.
It’s unfortunate they have taken so many live Band Maid songs off KZread. Try reacting to “Real Existence “ April 13, 2018 live. Also “Take me Higher” live if you can find it. Thanks for your great reations
When I watch Band-Maid, I sometimes feel like five good friends just jamming together, because they're just having a blast.
loved that battle knocked me out my chair
The “duel” was only for that season of concerts. Not in studio version. So it is indeed one of the more basic songs. MISA’s recommendation to people who want to Try playing band-Maid songs bass parts.
My favorite version of this song. Glad you were able to find it to react to it.
Saw them in San Fran in 2018. I’ve been to a decent amount of concerts. Band-maid easily one of my favorite concerts. Small venue, no barrier and they slayed. They deserve more recognition. Keep the reactions coming. I enjoy you analysis 👌🏼
I only wish I had more than one like to give this video. Keep up the great reactions Champ.
Great vid as always. I'm always glad the ladies can put a smile on your face even if you're not in a talkative mood :) for the record I think your comments were insightful and plentiful as always!
Yeah, when they SLAM in to the chorus right after Saiki says "Die 4 u" is just 😍🥰
For Kanami being a soon to be 29 yr old and have such right hand pick control, lead guitar phrasing, lead guitar dynamics, just amazes me to no end!

I always enjoy your Band-Maid reactions! Thank you for doing them.
The “explosion” at the start of each chorus is Akane’s china crash cymbal - the sudden change in timbre/tone and fullness of the cymbal sound mixes with the guitars and gives that effect. Then your mind gets confused and perpetuates (because it’s trying to figure it out) that overall sound for a few more milliseconds - so that initial changes and then then overall delay in processing the sound gives us that effect.

Awesome reaction Champ BANDMAID always makes me happy they helped me get through a hard time in my life and even though they will never know and no reason they should I love them and their music and will always be their fan. I’m glad you were looking more like your self before the video was over. One of the best reasons for music is it can make you feel good. Remember we’re all here loving what you do keep up the great work my friend stay 😎✌️
Man, where is that link? I've been missing this song....my fav Band Maid song.
Another Band-Maid content! Thanks man! Have you ever heard of the band Mary's Blood by any chance? I'm just putting it out there in case you decide to check them out... Mary''s Blood - Marrionette
They make unique songs! It feels like every song has received the band's careful attention, to make it live and breathe the best it can. They don't overuse the effects. Distortion can be nice, but if everything is distorted...my ears get tired...hehehe...I think, as they evolve, we'll see Kanami's live work expand to keyboard synths. Like Champ said, the keyboard line really made the chorus. They could afford to expand the "quiet" areas more, which increases the dynamism = synth fills...let Saiki soar a bit...thinking of Rush, "Time Stand Still"...
I think the guitar/bass battle is more like a guitar/bass love scene. It's exactly what would play at that part of a movie.
“Not really talkative today...”. *talks our faces off*. Lol. BAND-MAID can brighten anyone’s day.
That battle solo has been on hiatus since 2019 (Look at their performances this year). They didn't want to make it stale. Like they said, if you eat good food all the time, it won't taste as good since you are too used to it. Who knows when they are going to bring it back? They performed that in Berlin, the fancam has a higher quality. It sounds much more raw here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqpq2NVxca_dZ9I.html They tend to change things, Play had a different Intro in 2018, the added Miku at the end in the first half of 2019, and then changed the intro altogether in to the current one that is uploaded into their official account.
"gimme ketchup", laugh every time. Love these guys.
listen to Akane's drumming while the girls are battling their guitars...!!! epic 5 vs 6 string battle, but the drumming is...wow, out of this world! Akane is the winner))))
Love your reactions. This one was fantastic. You’ve got to react to “Real Existence - Live” next. It is a kick ass song. The solo and the riff that they layer under it are just fantastic.
That "Explosion" effect is Akane real time, most likely on a trigger to give it the volume but deffo not pre recorded, you can see it in other live videos :D
I don't think you've reacted to "Choose Me" yet. I think you'll love it!
Akane has a whole bunch of electronic triggers on her left hand side and a configurable "cow" bell (Roland TM-2, now I think) on the right side of her set. She doesn't just beat skins. Also google for a photo of Kanami's pedal board its ..... Well massive :)

I'm glad you got to react to this that is why I gave you a heads up when it came back and sent you a link . I just love the battle between MISA and Kanami and I love her fist pump in the air at the very end of the battle. I think i heard in an interview that is was Saiki who told them to just do something here and they said ok how about this
Loved this. Just a simple appreciation video.
The response to “I didn’t expect….” is “because Band Maid”.
久しぶりのBAND MAID♪👍待ってましたよ!
It's disappeared from most of the streaming sites, but Matchless GUM is an interesting song of theirs because it's probably one of the least complicated things they've ever composed, but it's really cool how they layer together a bunch of simple and straightforward musical motifs into something that's really, really cool. Of course, on their more prog side, there's always Secret My Lips where Akane does an absolutely phenomenal job of controlling the momentum of the song with her drumwork.

Thanks for sharing, Dude. I can't wait till you do Secret My Lops/ You should do that one as a double shot, Secret My Lips followed by the Band Maiko version Secret Maiko Lips.
There was a live recording of Choose Me before that I'm pretty sure has been taken down where you could hear Miku's mic a lot more clearly and in that song she switched a lot between that lower register and then higher stuff.
Wow 225 commentarys for band-maid! This band is more and more popular!!!👍🎸

And sometimes there are complete recorded backing tracks (vocal and instrumental), from start to the end of a song. Because everything is rehearsed, the actting, the minutes, the movements, the salutes, the introductions, Miku's magic time, etc. Specially japanese bands. They don't improvise. In fact, japanese people don't improvise, haha! Even the dueling part is rehearsed, every single step (in which also an "ambient efect" backing track is played) So, no surprise the are backing tracks that can be triggered not only by Akane's pads but from another console from their crew. For example, during ONSET (Zepp Tokyo 2018), there are backing tracks for a 3rd guitar and keyboards half of the time, in order to sound exactly like the studio version. I don't know in that case if the track is triggered or there's this known guy from their crew, "D-chan" playing next to the stage a real guitar (keyboard or console).

@@gringopablo The magic time and small breaks they have are not rehearsed. They are different in every show. I also suspect some of what you hear might be post-production. Certainly the parts where you hear the crowd singing along will have at very least been cleaned up, as crowds are not known for their ability to sing perfectly in time, and in tune. There was no studio version of Onset prior to the Zepp Tokyo show, so it can't have been made to sound like the studio version.

The bass/guitar battle reminds me a lot like Rush's By-Tor and the Snow Dog battle (♫Let The Fight Begin♫)
Great! Band-maid again! They always sound good live, doing their own twists from their own original versions. Even Saiki does it.
Excellent!. How I like those comments that make me find a new detail of the song every time I listen to it. I hadn't paid the synth the attention it deserved until today. And believe me man, I've heard this performance a thousand times. One note, during the guitar duel it is Akane's drums that make this bestial crescendo culminate explosively. It is a true masterclass of how to guide the rudder of the music that sounds until you land on the highest level of emotion possible. Thrilling.
Thanks for the awesome video! I love watching your BAND-MAID videos and enjoy your commentary/breakdown of the songs. Thanks again!
Quote: I am not in the mood to talk a lot... Hearing Band-Maid... Brightens his mood CLEARLY up and he is talking and talking and talking... REALLY NICE that the ladies took you into another mood. That´s what music is there for, right? Have a good weekend, always great to see you back on Band-Maid again!
Wow! This was a pleasant surprise from my favorite BM reactor Thanks for the impromptu band maid drop! Miku has said she writes choruses that people can sing along to. It is also why they will throw in English words into the chorus. Would love to see a reaction to Real Existence live sometime (and Turn Me On live (another Misa/Kanam battle)
Always happy to see another Band Maid reaction here! Happily surprised to see you pick this one. To champion a Band Maid song no one else here has brought up, would love a Choose Me reaction.
band maid take me higher live reaction
Always looking forward to your band maid reactions. Editing or no editing, it doesn't matter, your breakdowns what I'm here for.
Band-Maid just has that effect, don't they? (paraphrasing) "I don't really feel that well, I'm just going to get into it." And by the end you're a little more perky and a little more happy. :)
dude, you need to see them live, like actualy in their live show, cause i was shock at the first time, they got studio quality live, the sounds is so good, you can hear it clearly
It's Miku using a pedal for voice modulation. In the past noticed the low tones too. During one of their online live shows. Miku forgot to hit the pedal off and you heard the low froggy sound on a verse that wasn't supposed to have it. If watch she works those pedals alot. Since just her and Saiki are the only vocalists (Kanami does some. But her voice is too soft). Other vocals are on a backing track.

Yeah, you can hear the backing track vocals at times if you pay attention. They are noticeable on Play and Domination from the most recent Shibuya show.
Moratorium, Choose me, Non Fiction Days, Secret My Lips...etc...in that order please!
Pretty sure I mentioned this on someone else's reaction but those guitars became sentient and started serenading each other.
The growl is actually probably Miku. Question is whether it’s her natural voice trying her best to sing an octave lower or she’s using an effect.
plot twist.. that's Miku's natural frog voice.. the rest of the time you're hearing the fx
Miku can sing in a very low register as Saiki once said 'There's a middle-aged man trapped inside her'
🐦Miku's low voice chorus, amazing.🎤
Hey man, hope listening to some Band-Maid helped improve your mood. I know it always works for me. Plus you started out saying you didn't want to talk much but I think you talked more in this than alot of videos. :D Band-Maid inspires us all.
The guitar solo might make more sense to you when it is said that Kanami's favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana.
Great commentaries and song breakdowns. I♥️BandMaid. You add so much to my appreciation of their talent and performances. Thank you.
"it's blowing me the whole time" hahaha Check out Choose Me next, I guarantee it will blow your mind
I'll just give my 👍 .. it should say everything.
Great videos. Please check "The non fiction days" from this very concert. Miku's background vocals are awesome. Two other great songs are "Take me higher" and "Turn me on".

Just from a vocal standpoint you would probably love The Dragon Cries mv: their second mv in English: but it is so much more than just the vocals...
So Kanami begins the original mv solo, adding some tastiness to it, then they go to a bass vs guitar duel with A-chan in the background and after all that Mincho finishes her solo... I mean Composition Skill leveled up to 102! 🤘🕊️
Every time Akane uses new drumsticks, a tree is planted in her home community. Small woodland creatures are now blaming Akane for the over forestisation of their habitat in Japan.

I was going to do this one over. You beat me to it. I might go ahead and do it again anyway. It's one of my personal faves. But I wish you'd turn them up, and you down. When they come back into the chorus Akane has a cymbal she hits. It's sort of a cross between a China, a Splash & a Gong. I may even be enhanced with an electronic one as well. Whatever it is it just makes that transition so powerful at the end of her drum roll. Miku does have a processor on her mic that's a chorus / doubler. And she's also good and doubling Saiki, so between them it can sound as big as a house. Not to mention that Kanami has all the Backing Tracks on a computer that Akane has lock into like a Click Track. She'll have guitar doubles, keyboard synths, even drumbreaks. Sometimes they have to play without it if it gets lost with the baggage. Most of the time you don't even notice it's there unless something goes wrong. If you watch the Mistakes Video when amps break down you can hear it. You're right about one thing for sure, the writing. It's always fresh, yet some how familiar. Like some Anime Theme from your youth you'd half forgotten long ago. I don't know how they do that so successfully, every time.

This right here, underrated comment. This is how you bring the wall of noise performing live. Recordings have tons of layering that a 5-piece can't perform live. They play the most important parts live (and play them WELL) and fill the gaps with backing tracks. It's not cheating, it's artistry and commitment to bringing the best live performance possible. Anyone who thinks it's easy to play live freely with a backing track and still make it both spontaneous AND seamless hasn't tried it.
Misa's solo and dueling runs on this remind me of the late great Chris Squire of Yes...
Akane has digital triggers and is most likely the one triggering the chorused guitar sample every time she punches into the chorus (can't say for sure). I have a roland kit and can assign anything I want to any pad. I can even step program a base line to match my kick drums . . etc There is a video out there where she endorsed a trigger module and explains how she uses it, but it was in Japanese with no subtitles . . lol The Gorilla may be even better than we thought?
I think the extra oomf when the chorus comes in is Akane smashing all her cymbals at once .
Yeeeessss!!! So glad I stayed up.
One of my top 3 BM songs; even better live.
Always enjoy your Band Maid reactions!
Cool, thanks. Is nice you have started to find clips from older Band-Maid shows, if you can find the live clips from "Take me higher", "Turn me on", "YOLO" or "Awkward" don't doubt in react to them.

Great review as usual. Thanks for sharing.
The mv is Akana's favorite video because they got to wreck stuff. She didn't mention she was eating in it.
It's certainly worth watching the music video for this, even if it's not worth a reaction, simply because it's possibly their best video, with them as hapless maids at a high-society ball, who rebel and wreck the place. One worth doing, if you can find someone who'll provide a link to it (it's gone from KZread) is "Moratorium", as that has a different structure to most of their songs.
