They suck you in with familiarity, then confound your expectations by giving you twice as much as you could even think of expecting.

I had watched various world music videos that led the YT algorithm to suggest Wagakki Band, which I really got into. Then the algorithm kept suggesting these cute girls in maid outfits and I just dismissed them as a bs gimmick. But the algorithm was persistent and I finally gave in. Secret My Lips was their first video I watched. I couldn't believe my ears. So good. So musically creative. So hard! Next was Domination live. Then Onset live. I thought rock was dead but it was reborn in Japan. Band-Maid has given me so much joy these past few years. Thanks algorithm!

@@roqy Cool you came from The Wagakki Band, it's usually the other way round. I'd suggest, if you haven't already come across them, Greta Van Fleet, as they have a "Led Zep'"vibe going, while still being their own dynamic.

@@roqy Cool! I don't know Necry talkie, must check them out, thank you. necrophila are also very good, and for a decidedly "metal" vibe, "Lovebites" - they're usually a bit much for me - the vocals, but I do recommend them to my "metal" friends. A friend caught "Unlucky Morpheus", I think it was, in Paris, a few years ago, and they're one of his favourites.

@@gordowg1wg145 Necry Talkie is kind of a different planet. Much lighter vibe. Kind of garage band persona with self deprecating videos, tongue in cheek. They did the opening themes for Girlfriend Girlfreind and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Seem to have some sort of tie to vocaloid that I never investigated. Can't quite put a finger on their appeal, but I always check out their new stuff, and always like it.

Stumbled onto Band Maid via an old popular reactor back in late summer of 2019 Binged their entire youtube channel that day! 😳

I decided to study Japanese for academic purposes so I started listening to Japanese music for listening comprhension. The first band was Stereopony, then I listened to Thril... That was that...

Ouh là là, Band-Maid! Thx, Lee Jay & Stan!

”Choose me”came to my KZread algorhitm back in 2017/2018.. rest is history..Best Band ever in this Planet 💥🔥🤘❤️ Kanami is my Goddess and my alltime favourite musician 🔥❤️

The u lala part makes me think of French Maids it's really catchy . Now i'm going to be humming this song all day and thinking of Miku , Which do i anyways =) Thanks Guys Nice Reaction Please check out the "Blooming" MV imo it has the best guitar solo and the best harmonies of any song ✌🤘

I happened across Band-Maid in late 2019 after searching for Baby Metal and they were suggested on a side bar for "Thrill", and I've never looked back! Down the Pigeon Hole hard core now! All I can say is my wallet hates me now, lol!

Saiki's delivery on this one is more like her live performances, than a lot of their earlier studio stuff. Their last few studio releases have been well mixed! Protect You is part of that high energy anime-commissions family of BAND-MAID songs, with ones like Shambles, Sense, and Different.

How'd I come across *Band Maid* you ask #HighlyReActiveReactions .. Back in 2017 I was strolling through youtube and BM came up as a suggestion, ironically enough the song *Choose Me* 😅 The rest is history 🎀🎀 🤘❤‍🔥🤘

And I hear on good authority that the God of Thunder Thor heard some petite Japanese musicians in a group called BAND-MAID decided to bring their own thunder, more than a little irate he checked em out and after which he thought yep they win and buried his hammer, cracked a beer and retired, what a fcken band Po 👍🍻

Epic music! As dense as a flourless chocolate torte and just as darkly sweet! Such an amazing group they've throwing away riffs that we can barely hear without breaking it down with a computer program that isolates the layers. Ooo La lalalalala!😮

For me, the video of Thrill popped up on Facebook back in 2017. Life has never been the same since!

Banger! Enjoy your enthusiasm great comments!

How many videos do you have to stop to catch your breath? I understand the anime that they created the song for is titled Grendizer something. It's really popular in France. I guess that why there a lot of "Ou lala, lalas" in it.

Grandizer (Goldorak in France) is popular for guys over 50. Seen on French TV in 1978. I was too old at the time.

Protect You has recently been voted song of the week at Metal Hammer. I'd also like to recommend you #2 of this voting. It's another all-female band from Japan called Bridear. THe song is called 'Cult, see kzread.info/dash/bejne/oZx6yJOpp9rVqpM.htmlsi=NXsRzjs_zv5omsN9

This marks the beginning of the end of this band it's only a matter of time 10 months maybe 12 at most
