The pianist is the lead guitarist on a backing track, who is also the composer and arranger. There is another member, the vocalist who is every bit as good as she would have to be to perform with these women. They are all in their early 30s and have been together for 11 years with the same line up.

Band Maid have been together making albums for over a decade. They are a deadly serious rock band.

Thanks for checking out our Maids! Glad you liked them! 🍺😁🤘🏻

@@p.h.5752 Two different genres. LoveBites plays metal while Band-Maid plays Band-Maid.

Incredibly talented musicians. "How old are they ?" They've been a band for 10 years now and they're all between 30-33 years old. They have a huge library of incredible songs. Kanami the lead guitarist is the composer of all their music. Thank you for reacting to the greatest rock band on the planet. P.S. The Bassist is incredible. Check out Hate? live , one of the most recent youtube releases. They are an incredible live band. One more edit. Kanami also plays the piano on their songs and is used as a "decorative" backing track.

Kanami (lead and primary composer and genius) plays or programs any additional instrumentation, often piano and synth for backing tracks. Misa (bass) and Akane (drums) and Kanami all started on piano at around 4 years old. Misa can play guitar, alto horn and trumpet and Akane, trombone. Miku (rhythm) did not play any instrument until after the band formed as she was the intended lead vocalist but Saiki was brought in to fulfill that role and Miku took on the task of learning guitar. Saiki likewise had never learned an instrument but I think it was during covid she started learning guitar and piano and has now performed twice on stage playing piano, first solo and then with the band.

Any Maids serving (as they call their concerts) ROCKS!!! These ladies are in their early 30s now and have been rocking out for almost 10 years. Try Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage (the label was about let them go when this happened in 2015), Freedom, Onset, From now on, Hate? Are all great tracks Welcome Princes and Princesses to the pigeon hole, the 5 Band-Maid members: SAIKI Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. The youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock front women... or front men! MIKU Kobato (Me-Ku), "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals and lyricist. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR Spokes Pigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. She couldn’t play when she formed the band and was tutored by Kanami. KANAMI Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want is more! AKANE Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa), "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!

they do rock!

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

You have opened the floodgates. They may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative band since the Beatles, and they are top-tier musicians. I saw many of the classic rock bands - Purple, Zeppelin, Queen, Santana, many more, all in their heyday. I’ve seen Band-maid three times and their performances stand up to any of those legendary bands. You are going to get a lot of suggestions. First, a little background on the band: Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994 MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992 Kanami Tono - Lead guitar, Main composer and arranger Born Sept 28, 1991 Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991 Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990 Miku was working in a Maid Café after being in an idol group that didn’t break through. She envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, after finding a Kanami guitar cover on line; Kanami then recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Akane and MISA had been students together at the Tokyo Music Academy. The group decided they needed more vocal “oomph”, and collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar when they started, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that she is really adding to the music mix, and Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual shred. The band was struggling early on, and in 2014, even as the label was considering dropping them, they posted the music video for “Thrill” which went viral globally. When they realized what was going on, it gave them the momentum to forge ahead, and they have now done multiple tours of Europe and the U.S. and are building a global fanbase who call themselves the Maidiacs. They have released seven full albums, as well as several EPs, singles and music videos. They have put out around 170 songs, covering a wide variety of styles and sounds, without any duds. They combine a punk vibe with instrumental virtuosity (two things that are often seen as being incompatible), and have done some amazing progressive-rock songs and ballads with a metal edge to them. They toured the U.S. in 2022 and sold out 14 cities in less than 48 hours. They followed it up with a 2023 tour which had to be expanded from their original plans. Their fan base skews heavily to actual practicing musicians. Some of those followed the band to multiple dates and documented everything on youtube-some of the footage is hilarious. I’ve seen them in 2019, 2022 and 2023. Their shows are truly life-reaffirming. So far no announcements of another European tour but it seems likely in 2024. Band-Maid are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio. Everything they have posted from their 10thAnniversary concert in Yokohama is absolute fire-I have bought the DVD and recommend you do too. 33 songs, 3 hours of insanity. The best clip on YT from that concert is “Hate?” kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5qDtNGKedSoY6g.html Here are more links, to older performances: Freedom (Feb 14 2020) kzread.info/dash/bejne/eHyk16eqfaTJdMo.html Domination (Feb 14 2020) kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5ats6WDnpnYico.html Choose Me (Feb 14 2020) kzread.info/dash/bejne/epely9abiMrPl7g.html Onset (Instrumental-insane!) kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4qmsI-jj7jJYLg.html And an official MV, one of their most popular: Daydreaming (it’s a slower ballad, gorgeous and truly heart-wrenching): kzread.info/dash/bejne/hHeVx7ekoqzaqbw.html

There is a hidden member (5th member) but she's not on the piano in this one although she now plays the keys. And that's the lead vocalist. :D

11 years and around 130 great songs....welcome !! The band members ages are 30-33, and they just keep getting better & better ! 😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘BTW, they have an awesome lead singer.

Roger is the messiah of Band Maid, best rock band on the planet. Watch HATE? live from Yokahama Arena. They have an excellent singer too and that song has a segment that will blow your socks off.

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

The lead guitar plays keyboards and creates the backing tracks. She's also the songwriter and does the editing and mixing to put together the demos before they go to the studio. According to her, the drummer and bass player write their own parts to replace her programmed bass and drums. The rhythm guitar writes the lyrics and works with the lead singer to develop the vocal arrangements. Check out Blooming and Influencer.

Wow okay thanks

And that's just 4/5's of the Maids. Wait until you see and hear their lead vocalist -- Saiki!

Love it when I see a musician react to them for the first time. It's priceless. They are in their lower 30's age wise, but anyone that has proficiency on a musical instrument knows how you get this good. Thousands of hours of practice over years of time. Welcome to the best band in the world.

Welcome to Band Maid, the best hard rock band on the planet! (imo opinion of course) The lead guitarist (Kanami) is a classically trained pianist. She's been playing that since she was tiny. She picked up guitar in high school to impress the other girls (it worked). She does all of the extra instrument stuff you'll occasionally hear in some of their songs. In this video all of the ladies are around 30ish and have been making music together for a decade and have a massive catalogue of awesome for you to explore. You are right, there is another member of the band you don't see in this, it's their lead singer who is in most of their other videos (though they have a few other instrumentals, Without Holding Back is my favorite of those). You should see them play live, with their singer. I highly highly recommend listening to "Hate?" Official Live video next to hear them all together and in their element, in front of a crowd.

and with all that talent they are the most humble , respectful band you will see and that is why there fans follow them 💯

Welcome, Mr. X. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h5inmclsfZCanLQ.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYB2waeJg5eeeKg.html) And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. kzread.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:  2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJVl24-LgrnKZ5M.html  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzread.info/dash/bejne/oHWYudCCgs2tkc4.html  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5ats6WDnpnYico.html  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6WF0K2CfLWbpZM.html  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.

Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  Shot by Pat McKee from their 2023 US tour concert in Detroit: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpust4-Ghs3akZM.html  See the Maids 2023 Rockville Festival’s short-set perfection performance: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJ6OzbCen6rTmMY.html If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, CD, DVD/BD & merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

Another fantastic instrumental and played in live is "Onset". To get to know the singer Saiki and all the band you should start with "Domination" Live and "Turn me on" live. If you want an epic solo of the drummer Akane I recommend "Freedom". If you want something that makes you appreciate the ability of the lead guitarist Kanami and the bass player Misa I recommend the live of "Hate?" And "Dont'you Tell". If you want something really heavy check out "Moratorium" live. Have a nice trip to the world of the Band Maid.

Misa the bass player turns regular songs into great songs!

No band triggers more pleasure endorphins for me than BAND-MAID!

🤘Band Maid!!!🤘This is one of their four Instrumentals....

Just listening to this song, i just get imagery of struggle, determination, and that, fleeting but sweet, feeling of success or happiness that makes it all worth it. Such an epic song.k

They aren't all "that young". They are in their ealy 30's.

この曲はライブで聞いた時自然と涙が出た カナミの才能に感謝するし、どのメンバーも素晴らしい

Gen X. We know music. We love music. We lived music. And we are all very grateful to have lived long enough to see it resurrected by five little Japanese maids. ❤ 🤘🏽 P.S. The keyboards are also played by Kanami Töno, the lead guitarist and primary composer

That "member" playing the piano is KANAMI the lead guitarist. She writes the music (with input from the drummer AKANE and bass player MISA) then MIKU (rythm guitar and originator of the band) with help from SAIKI (lead singer) so in the end it goes like this: Interviewer: Since all five girls are cute, each of them has a different character. Those who want to see idols perform can also enjoy (each character individually). MIKU: NO. Not just for one of them, all of them together! Japanese Interviewer: Kuruppo, you are a pretty good tactician. Clever! You thought of it. You really formed the band you wanted, right? MIKU: It's a Miracle! SAIKI: That's right!

Did any of you know each other before joining the band? Kanami: Miku was looking for members to be in BAND-MAID. I was approached to join the band, and then I brought my friend, the drummer Akane, with me. Then, Akane brought her friend, the bassist Misa. So the instrumental performers were all gathered through connections between musicians. After that, our vocalist Saiki joined through an audition.

Welcome Master RGX to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Thank you for the great reaction. I love seeing the Maids blow people's minds when they have their first experience with the Maids. And wait...it gets better, as you haven't been introduced to the 5th member yet. The Pigeon-hole is deep and diverse. Buckle up and enjoy the ride Master RC has set you on. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

Almost all of them play multiple instruments, the piano you hear is Kanami (Lead guitar). Checkout "Hate" Official Live at Yokohama Arena next please

Hey ReactionGenX ! Welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Glad to have you on this journey.

the lead guitarist Kanami Tono was playing piano on the backing track

I wonder how long until Saiki takes up doing the piano bits? It seems a natural progression

Instrumental. The lead vocalist is Saki Atsumi and she is incredible. Great reaction and thanks for supporting the Maids.

I love this girls nice reaction greeting from germany

Thank you Roger for turning so many people onto Band Maid. Best rock band in the world!

Oh you have no idea the extent of their awesomeness. Dig into the pigeon hole, you will not be disappointed.

If some guy called Roger contacts you beware, he was a normal rock fan until he broke bad.

I like rewinds. This show that a person cares.

Kanami, who plays guitar solos, is the musical leader. She presents the initial ideas through programming, which the members then refine and arrange. In other words, Kanami coordinates all the programming parts. However, the founder of the band is Miku, the rhythm guitarist, who writes all the lyrics and leads the band in spirit. As for the bassist and drummer, their genius is evident.　This alone is a miracle, but vocalist Saiki happened to be at the office by chance.

You’re going to be bombarded with suggestions by Maidiacs who are loyal fans of BAND-MAID. At 64 years old I’ve attended a lot of concerts. BM is the best and most fun show I’ve been to yet. I arrived at 6pm, thinking I was early enough to get a good spot for the show. Then I found out people had started lining up at 6am for a show that starts at 8pm-in August, in Arizona. That gives you an idea of Maidiacs’ loyalty.

It's not hyperbole when I say you could literally pick any song. Here are some good songs from Band Maid ( in no particular order): Honkai, brand new road, start over, order, alone, Arcadia girl, choose me, why why why, chemical reaction, don't apply the brake, shake that, glory, Beauty and the beast, don't you tell me, bubble, daydreaming, different, don't let me down, the nonfiction days, moratorium, cross, take me higher, time, secret my lips, fate, Rock in me, clang, turn me on, daydreaming, wonderland, bubble, the dragon cries, warning, blooming, no god, afterlife, hgk, Giovanni, from now on, corallium, influencer, shambles, before yesterday, I still seek revenge, freezer, reincarnation(rinne)

Welcome home.

Four of them play piano, but the lead guitar is classically trained since she was 3-4 years old.

I swear to gawd, Roger Chance is a Band Maid made AI bot!😂 I bot I must thank. 1st time Band Maid reactions are the best! Hah, when you said there was a 5th member, I was like, how did he know about Saiki, their lead singer? Then you said piano!😂 Hate? (song title) official live from Japan, next!🙏🤘

All backing tracks are the lead guitarist. But this is nothing. Go watch 'Hate?' LIVE from their 10th Anniversary Tour in Yokohama Arena. They're on another level from us mere musicians.

You have a multi-win here because not only did you run into Band-Maid and will now get lots of great Band-Maid suggestions. But you are also now going to fall into the full on Japanese women metal / rock scene rabbit hole. So whilst others suggest other Band-Maid tracks, here are 7 more all female Japanese bands, and 3 fronted by women. Have fun! Lovebites - Set The World On Fire live Nemophila - Ama Te Ras live Hanabie - Be The Gal MV Aldious - Go Away MV Passcode - Taking You Out MV Mary's Blood - Marionette MV Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday MV Fate Gear - Unbreakable Wings MV Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire MV Babymetal - Megitsune MV

Never too late for the party!! Enjoy the rabbit hole of best rocking maids!!

Even better live

Welcome, Po! 🕊

There are a ton of all female metal bands in Japan.

I've been watching Band Maid for a long time now and every time I watch Akane, her sheer creativity just flattens me. I like the classic drummers like Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich for the sheer creativity and to me Akane is the 21st Century Buddy Rich, hands down. My other title for her is High Priestess of the Temple of the Perfect Fill. There are few groups that have such a tightly tied-in group of musicians that they seem to be mentally connected.

Oh yeah, MISA, the Barefoot Assassin bassist does rock but she was taking a day off here.😈

Best band!!

It's 3am London time, so no Gary. Even he can't be searching out Band-Maid 24/7, although it seems that way sometimes. :)

There is actually a piano, violins and a chorus as well.

👀at you Roger Who !

Great reaction sir,,even the bass player rocks man,,you dont realise what you just said,in a good way,,,check out,,Hate,live at Yokahama 2023,with the lead singer,and an insane mid section,i will leave it there,,enjoy pal.

My favorite tracks of theirs for those just joining the gang: Domination (Official Live), Freedom (Official Live), Warning, Manners and Thrill (the song that saved the band!)

Welcome to the Maidiacs, GenX.

Welcome to the fandom! ♥

I know you will love all of their songs ❤ Starting with an instrumental is odd but fun 😂 They are 30+ and started the band in 2013 and are still rocking out 😅😂 These ladies are masters at their instruments: Kanami (composer and lead guitar), Akane (drums) and Misa (bass). Then there is lead vocalist Saiki who is perfect for the Band Maid sound and Miku Kobato (rythm guitar, pure energy, most lyrics, fantastic backing vocals and harmonies). Miku wasn't able to play the guitar when she founded the bandin 2013. I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some other instrumentals like Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) and "Gacharic Spin" from Japan (song: "Mindset"). Have fun... Po

Nice reaction. Don't let the maid costumes fool you. These ladies are legit, prolific rock stars. They have a decade's worth of top notch music to explore. They've also been writing their own music for the past 8 years. Their ages range from 30-33, I think. 😁 Just an FYI. Your software seemed a little out of sync.

Band maid rock!!! But since your in Japan, and you like the instrumentation a lot. Check out BabyMetal specifically the live show "Rondo of nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live" (band is front and center, invite only arena, Ozzy played here back in the day to give you an idea, live video is professionally shot, audio comes out clear, they sell out arenas!). 🎶🦊💯

They're usually described as "heavy rock", but most call the genre "Bandmaid" genre, because they have SO many differnt influences - and then there's "Band-Maiko", their "nemisis". i see you've got "Hate?" in the recommendations, going to check that out now!

Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world. Their talent is only surpassed by their joy and character. You need to check out their live performances to truly get an understanding of their true excellence. And I'm tired of thanking GuessWho/Roger Chance so I'm not doing it.

They are all 30+.

May be the worst way to hear them as a first reaction, given they have a lead singer and 99% of their work uses her. Also, Band Maid is always best live. Try a better song that brings them all to life and that shows the whole band on a stage. Suggest the official live version of: Daydreaming Domination Play Freedom Hate A bunch more, up to 140 songs. A few of them have piano background, so they cut that in, as they do often.

O.K. So one of the members didn’t know how to play her instrument when she started the band. Can you guess which one? “Different” and “No God” along with about 100 other songs by this band are recommended for you listening pleasure.

YES TALENT IS THERE ...THE WARNING....BANDMAID...LOVEBITES....NEMOPHILA... I MEAN THIS REAL SHIT

For more great all female Japanese band check out Still Burning by Bridear came out today it is fire

An instrumental like "From Now On" is a PERFECT first Band-Maid song to react to, in my opinion. I'd recommend the same. It showcases perfectly the band's skill, talent and sheer power. And the second reaction will again be a first one, with now Saiki entering the stage. Awesome singer for an awesome band!

The girls are battle tested and completely in sync with each other. But that's what you get when you play 500+ shows over a 10 year span. Well worth watching. You wont be sorry that for sure.
