My Band Maid story will be set to the song “Page”, which helped me get through the loss of 2 friends and coworkers who died on the job as I was on my way to work in September 2022. I received my CD of Conqueror the day after they died in the line of duty and it was the first song and most therapy I ever experienced after 2 decades of military and police service. Band Maid has a reach that extends farther than even they may ever know. The Band Maid community online and the people I’ve met at shows are the most humble, salt of the earth, and genuinely good humans I believe exist today. Thank you all.

Thank you for sharing that, and for giving praise for Page, which is I believe one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The ladies have helped a LOT of us go through some devastating things. Thank you for your service, and thank you for giving it up for kindness. Peace.

Nice to put a name to the face, Tyler, you handsome fella you :)

Thank you and lead on - we're right behind you....

Wonderful story about how this started and grew to what it is today. Thank you to Ohrenje and team for the work you have put into helping Band-Maid on their way to world domination. The outtro left me with tears in my eyes. I believe no other band has a fandom like that of Band-Maid. Thank you agaub Ohrenje and team, you are an inspiration to us all. Greetings from Norway.

Ohrenje, forgive me I didn’t know that it is your birthday. May the happiness you brought upon your arrival (birth) be a part of your day today. Thank you, and all those that work with you, for spreading the same joy that Band-Maid brings to us in their concerts with your videos. All the best.

日本から　Ohrenjeさん、誕生日おめでとうございます。 いつも楽しくて、しかもファンにとって大切な配信をありがとうございます。

Simply put, Ohrenje RULES!🕊

Ohrenje you deserve to have an encounter (a live one) with each member, because by now, for sure, they know your beautiful work for them and for us.

Happy Birthday to the awesome Ohrenje. It's been a roller coaster ride with up's & downs & twists & turns but it's a ride you never want to get off.🤗

You have given us so much, I am so grateful to you and your full team. Thank you for allowing us to share in the story of Band Maid, not just the music. What I have learned about the members through your Documentary series makes the music even more special than it already was. ありがとうございました 🙏

Happy birthday Ohrenje! (How many times did i say this today? lol) Thanks for creating this wonderful community and for all your hard work on spreading the word and the love of the pigeon. Wish you all the best for the years to come friend!

I actually came across the show "Mysteries of the Abandoned" purely by chance on Discovery + and I knew I recognized the narrator's voice from somewhere. It was driving me crazy the entire episode and then I saw Kasper's name in the end credits. What were the odds of that I wonder? Thanks for adding your professional voice skills to these BAND-MAID videos sir and thank you Ohrenje for your tireless efforts on behalf of the maids. 😀.

Awesome. It's a great introduction to the newer fans and I'm sure it'll cement their will to support the band. It also helps the fans to get to know the band members, which makes us feel more connected to them. Thank you so much, Ohrenje-san!

Happy Birthday, my friend. "Stay beautiful" "Don't forget to love yourself" 🙂

We hear a lot about "communities" of this and that, but there really isn't a "Band-Maid community" without active fans like yourself who organize it and make it happen. So thank you for extraordinary and endlessly creative efforts-and happy birthday!

No disrespect to Kasper, but I would have liked to hear your voice throughout this video, Ohrenje. I don't mind reading subtitles :) Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday O-san! Thank you very much for everything you did to support this great band and its fantastic community. You are the heart of the BM-Fandom and always an inspiration.

Don't say thank you to us! We have to say thanks to you. I learned from this (again) great video, how much time and heart you put into these projects. You've found wonderful people who are helping and adding some great value to all your projects but you are the heart of these projects!!! ❤ Thank you Ohrenje, and special greetings from Germany to lovely France. As well as to all people in the world who feel and give love instead of hate and madness, that is so hard to ignore these days ❤❤❤❤ (my donation is on its way to you, you deserve it)

Thank you @Ohrenje and happy birthday 🎂 This video was the perfect start for my Japan trip. I arrived yesterday and just watched this before breakfast in the hotel. As stated I also feel like the whole fandom is a big family. So I can't wait to finally meet some more of you on the acoustic okyuji on the 20th 🕊️❤️ po!

Happy Birthday Ohrenje!!!!! Thank you for ALL your efforts for bringing attention to Band=Maid.

I love that "Choose Me" was your first BAND-MAID song also! I was randomly sent it by a friend who simply said "I see maids, I watch video". He didn't even like their music, he was just sharing it with me on a whim. I was blown away, enthralled, and now their music is basically the only thing I listen to.

That was a wonderful story *@Ohrenje* also, thanks for bringing us *BAND MAID* fans together to share and chat! 🤘😀🤘

My journey with Band-Maid began in October 2021 with Thrill but especially Onset and all the other following songs. Happy birthday, man. We were born in the same month, Ohrenje, but not the same year.👨‍ The Yoko Arena concert video will be released the day after my birthday. What a great gift. It's crazy how much money they make me spend. I ordered 3 more t-shirts.🤪Keep up the great work. I can't wait to meet you at a BM concert in France, po.🤗

Wow! What a fantastic video! Thank you so very much for all your hard work and a very happy birthday Monsieur Ohrenje!

A most happy birthday dear Ohrenje and many, many thanks for all you have so kindly done for the enjoyment of all the Band-Maid fans throughout the world. Have a blessed day.

Happy Birthday Ohrenje! For the radio show they included Randy Bass (I think it was, my memory's hazy) singing the Hanshin Tiger's "fight song" and it was hilariously off-key and bad! It was _so_ bad it was good! Miku was highly amused! Those were a brilliant diversion that winter.

Happy birthday, Ohrenje-Sensei! I wish you good health, great mood, happiness, inspiration, success in your projects, more good music and Band-Maid coming to Europe. Thank you for another great video! It is impossible to estimate your hard work, dedication, creativity and love to Band-Maid. I simply admire you. Thank for everything you do 🙏🏼 Really glad to know you and hope to meet in person one day. Best wishes, Alexej.

A very heartwarming and beautiful video. It's amazing that this impossible band has created the most dedicated and passionate family of maidiacs with the goal of enjoying and spreading the word of BAND-MAID. Your content and projects are of such quality and love that one can only stand and applaud! Keep up what you do and we will always be behind you, thank you!

Happy birthday Ohrenjie, we will always be honoring our rock employees and their productions, thank you for providing us with these memorable moments.

Joyeux Anniversaire mon ami !!!! Ohrenje, you have done a magnificent job in whatever you put yourself to do, and we all have benefited by your work. There is no way that we can ever fully repay you for your passion about Band Maid and the fantastic things we have been the beneficiaries of. But know in your heart that there is a HUGE number of dedicated Band Maid fans who owe you a big debt of gratitude. From your touching documentaries to your fan films we all thank you and I'm sure that Miku, Kanami, Misa, Saiki and Akane are very aware of you and what you have done on their behalf. I'm a 77 year old rocker who had given up on the genre until the first time I watched the live official video of "Onset". I had been reintroduced to Japanese music about 6 years ago by watching a music video someone had posted on Facebook of the group Wagakki Band, for the song "Kishikaisei". I was immediately intrigued and enthralled by the group's musicianship and the magnificence of Yuko Suzuhana. From that I was led to Baby Metal. Aldious and SCANDAL. Then I hit the motherlode with Band Maid. Once again, thank you for all you have done and keep doing what you are doing, it's for a very good cause. Bon chance !!!

Happy Birthday Ohrenje!!!! Thank you for helping to bring Maidiacs from all over the world together. Together, we can help to share these 5 amazing women with the world!!!

Another thing I wanted to mention but forgot, is this. After I finished my career in the insurance industry, I had a second career in the supermarket industry here in the US for almost 20 years. Part of that was attending the International Food & Beverage Exposition in NYC. I was there this past Monday, March 4th, and I happened to see a lot more Japanese vendors attending the Expo to present their products, which ran from tea and beverages to rice to robotic vending machines. Most of the representatives were fairly young, so I mentioned to them that I was a big fan of Japanese music, and especially Band Maid. I was a little surprised that less than half of them had heard of Band Maid or heard any of their music. But I recall reading that Band Maid has a bigger fan base outside of Japan than in it. I don't if it's because of the genre, hard rock, or some other reason. I hope some of them have a listen.

Happy birthday, Ohrenje!

Happy Birthday, O-san! I really like what Kasper calls you! Amazing video. This is not even a video about you, this is a video about the people you met along the way! And this is very cool! BAND-MAID unites people from all over the world! But not only BAND-MAID. You also bring people together! This is your superpower! Thanks to this video, I saw the first community covers and the first videos on your channel! And they are all very cool! You and the team did a great job! I hope you don’t weaken your aspirations and continue to pull us all along with you! Thanks for all your work! Your videos are always very interesting, emotional and inspiring!

Happy birthday you freaking B-M Legend you 😄👍🍻🎉 I cannot express enough how much I and so many others appreciate all your and your contributors work and efforts. You and I became addicted to B-M at the same time in the same way, how wonderful that 5 insanely talented and charismatic Japanese Maid Musicians can reach out all over the world and bring such joy. Love your work and as we say here in Oz, what a fcken band Po 👍🍻

I'm a daily follower of Band-Maid since 2014. Since I'm a little late to your great video... HAPPY AFTER BIRTH, Ohrenje! 🤘🥳🤙

I liked the story. Very much. I'm one of those who fall into the rabbit hole (sorry pigeon hole) in the time of the pandemic .... and the way to "hell" was paved by Mear, Potter, Champ and you Ohrenje! Thanks! I hope someday we met in person. At the Band - Maid Okyuji in Europe.

Happy Birthday Ohrenje! I hope you're having a great day! ぽ!🥳🎶🎶🎶

Happy Birthday Sir. I"m hoping to see more of your work for many many years to come.

Happy Birthday Ohrenje. Again a wunderful video, as expected. I hope for more videos and of course also for the European tour! Enjoy your day and thanks again for the bmcd!

I love the Catharsis opening. I have been as passionate for other music as I am for our Maids before, all my life really. But I have never felt as much interest and care for the individuals in any band more than I feel for our Maids.

A late Happy Birthday🎂 from Norway, Ohrenje. I've learned so much about Band-Maid because of you since I myself became a Maidiac two years ago. Thank you for your hard work. Looking forward to the updated docs. (especially Kanami🥰)

Happy Birthday 'OHRENJE' 🎉

Again I thank you from my heart for all of your fantastic work to bring our favorite band to as many people around the world as possible. I have always supported you and have also been a member on your discord server. I always look forward to your upcoming works because they give me such joy ! Happy Birthday sir, and I hope that one day I will have the great pleasure of meeting you in person at a live Band-Maid Serving !!

Happy birthday in arrears! This is wonderful what you've done and are doing. I'm so impressed! Great team, great fans, great collaborators! Ohrenje is a powerhouse visionary and project coordinator. The love is real. Keep shining!

Happy birthday! Thanks for all you do.

Happy Birthday to you Ohrenje. That was a great Journey with you and getting to hear and seeing from the cast especially the man behind the voice Kasper Michael. I thought only Miku's energy was boundless but yours comes to a close second, wishing you only the best for your wonderful projects.

There are no words to express just how thankful I am to subscribe and be a follower of you, Ohrenje. There are no words to express just how much I love BAND-MAID since I first viewed them in 2014. Thank you for your loyalty and love toward these five amazing characters and qualified musicians (Kanami, Saiki, Akane, MISA and Miku) who make up this amazing, life changing band, BAND-MAID.

Bon anniversaire Ohrenje!

Bonne fête Ohrenje! On s'est déjà rencontré et conversé avant le concert de Boston en octobre 2022, je te l'avais pas dit mais c'était le week-end de mon anniversaire à ce moment-là. Si tu me replace pas j'étais le gars avec la casquette du Canadien de Montréal. Hé oui un Québécois! J'ai créé le groupe fb band-maid Québec en 2016 mais ca n'égale pas ta production de documentaire sur KZread. Vraiment un beau travail avec la communauté de band-maid. Même Ogata san est impressionné. Merci encore pour ces beaux vidéos sur band-maid. J'en apprends encore sur le groupe malgré que je suis band-maid depuis novembre 2014 lorsqu'elles ont sortie leur premier vidéo Thrill!! J'ai pas eu la tuque lors de leurs tourné de 2022 malgré que je suis un membre en règle du fan club mais je me console car j'ai pu rencontré et parlé un peu avec les filles en 2019 à un autre concert qui était à New-York. Un meet and greet. La fameuse soirée que misa a fait boire son whisky à l'un des fan. Miku s'est mélanger dans la foule. Ça avait été mon premier contact humain avec band-maid mais ça n'arrivera plus car elles sont devenus des 'stars'!

Thank you ohrenje ❤

Happy birthday Ohrenje! Your dedication towards Band-Maid and its fandom/community is impressive. Long may you continue this journey. P/S: I hope one day you get to meet Band-Maid in person or at the backstage.

Your a Legend in the BAND-MAID community Ohrenje💪🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🤘

One thing that I love about my fellow Maidiacs is, going to a serving and meeting new friends, and adding to a huge family!

FeliZ cumpleaños po!!!

I believe I meet Numu at Yokohama..At least..he handed me some of his art work like postcards..He was looking to hand them to foreign fans I believe he said...Something like that...I was on my own just wandering around outside the venue before joining the merch queue.
