Just saw an interview, so I can address this. Misa (bass) started on piano and played some wind instruments as a child. Picked up guitar as a teen but switched to bass 2nd year of high school because a band she joined needed a bass player. She and Akane (drums) attended music school together. Kanami (lead guitar) is a very good piano player and composes the music. All three are exceptional on their instruments.

I am also told that Saiki is a pianist since age 3. Miku did not play an instrument to my knowledge(?) when the group began, so she bought a Rickenbacker 620 and started lessons with Kanami as coach and worked like hell on it, hours every day. That was 2013. Kanami is delighted to report that Miku can actually play a few fast riffs faster than herself now.

Nice...SO much more to hear! Just pick a song, you won't be disappointed.

He's only got 117 more awesome songs to go!

Misa's first started off playing guitar before turning to the bass, which she plays a lot like a lead guitarist would, she picks, fingers, taps and she slaps.

This band always seems to explode in the minds of pro musicians or anyone in creative arts. The aren't a corporate created band, do things you aren't supposed to do and take HUGE risks composition wise.

Well young Man I have seen Zeppelin live and I have 2 VIP tickets to see these young Ladies live in phoenix You only have 112 great songs to go I have purchased every piece of music they have made every one, song different! I get the best stuff straight out of Tokyo so good journey down the Maid Rabbit hole trust me it is one of the greatest I mean a blend of Punk Pop Hard Rock Mettle it is all there different and Beautiful !

One of my favourite recent tracks by the best rock band to have emerged in the last 30 or 40 years. Cheers from an old guy in the UK.

I think " Dice" MV should be next. Then maybe "Domination" live with a real live crowd. It has subtitles.

Band Maid is my favourite band , thanks for reacting to them! Misa, the bass player is recognised as one of the best bass players today. You must watch the double drop live video of 'Manners/Black Hole' as it really features Misa, her bass tone on 'Manners' is the bomb. Enjoy !

Great reaction. Band-Maid has a wide range of styles, but if you are liking the more chaotic side of Band-Maid then I highly recommend Black Hole. Check out their Manners / Black Hole Live double feature to see some great contrast in styles.

ProTip: Spacebar to pause and resume videos on YT, left and right arrows to rewind and advance five seconds at a time. Just a bit quicker and means you don't have to go hunting with mouse or risk clicking on wrong point.

Hot keys save lives 😜

I think most Band Maid fans regard No God as a track that Misa (bass) particularly shines , honestly this is a walk in the park for Akane (drums), Black Hole and Warning to name 2 she brings the thunder. The rhythm section is hot in every Band Maid song it's just a matter of degree, they never just turn up. Another side of Misa's playing is that in their slower songs she lays down grooves to die for.

It's such a surprise that you've never heard or reacted to BAND-MAID😲 BAND-MAID, LOVEBITES and NEMOPHILA never let you down😎 Misa was a guitarist and went to bassist so she became a lead bassist😁 Please react to Onset.

MISA started out learning piano as a toddler. Joined a school brass band and learned to play various horn instruments. Then picked up a guitar and played that (and sang) and finally ended up playing bass when she joined another band.

And what an incredible musician and bassist she has become. She has surpassed the heroes that she had, seemingly effortlessly. But behind all that, is talent and a hell of a lot of hard work and dedication to her craft. Astounding player with her own unique style now.

Even though I don’t understand a word they say, I love their music!👍

Band-Maid is amazing, you've probably seen their pictures somewhere since they've been pretty popular, they are one of those bands that made a lot of people interested in looking a japanese female rock scene that wasn"t very known in the west and most people knew bands like Lovebites through them. They are pretty progressive in their songwritting although they usually have a pretty straightforward hard rock song structure as a basis for their songs but do tons of unpredictable stuff in there while still keeping songs easy to listen to for the casual listener and very interesting for those who like more musical complexity. All the instruments stay very dynamic during the entire songs. They are definetly a band you will like

BAND-MAID: imho the best hard rock (sometimes progrock) band around and probably for the last 30-40 years or more! Fantastic musicians, song writers and performers!

Welcome to the pigeon hole (this'll make sense once you are deeper in it). There is no escape. Resistance is futile. But that's okay, because it's one of the best places to be....ever. Pick any song. Buckle-up! Thanks man! 🕊

Nice reaction You really should check out BAND-MAID's double feature songs "Manners/BLACK HOLE" live (from their latest album where also features "NO GOD") to see that they are capable of. Also, I noticed you like instrumental music as I watched your reactions to ASTERISM. So you have to react to BAND-MAID's instrumental called "onset" live Thank you

OMNG! Welcome aboard, RockdaRiff. You are embarking on (along with many others - 138 million YT views!) 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 (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), 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 later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, About Us, 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 cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis! And many songs are represented with over 40 well produced music videos. kzread.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5ats6WDnpnYico.html)  ZEPP 2018  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (The last two are on bandmaidprime.tokyo) And some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues:  Taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZNl1spwk9fNfdI.html  And by JOSER8845 in LA: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6eLvNild6qqg9Y.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, 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, 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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 28 and 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 frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 30 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 30 years old, 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 from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 31 years old, 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, 29 years old. 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! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. ** NEW ** Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have finally included the ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts at their Prime website! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo/  ACOUSTIC CONCERT - Their Christmas acoustic concert was unbelievable. Replays are still available at their website!  BAND-MAID's 8 state, 11 gig USA tour includes the "AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022" in Sacramento, California on Sunday, October 9 with Foo Fighters and The Warning! Also on the bill is Slipknot, Jinjer, Nemophila and tons of other groups. bandmaid.tokyo/contents/501183

PFFFF!

This is a great performance, but they really shine when they have an audience in front of them.

Good reaction! BAND-MAID and BABYMETAL is the best thing that has happened to rock/metal in decades!!

Nice review. One thing about Band-Maid is you never know what to expect in any one song, except surprises. The ladies tend to genre-jump a bit, and not just from song to song, but within songs. "Blooming" is a good example. Want something more on the progressive side? "Different". Want a video where Akane (the drummer) steals the MVP? "Warning". Want a video where everyone gets the spotlight, including the audience, the live version of "Domination". Enjoy, there are plenty more videos after those.

Great reaction - good to see you on board with the Maids! No God from their most recent album - you've got six previous albums and several concerts in their back catalogue to choose from. All good! Catch you next time.

Everyone usually falls for Misa (bass) first, but then everyone realizes it all starts with Kanami's music. And they all fall in love with her.

Great reaction thank you. I'm 56 from the UK, been around the block and seen the best live. These ladies are the best all round rock band I have ever heard. Period. Top tier musicianship, incredible composition, and lovely down to earth people with absolutely no ego. Check out the double bill 'Manners' & 'Black hole' Live for two different styles. But best of all check them out live with an audience - 'Play' Live, 'Real Existence' live, 'Domination' live or for an incredible mind blowing instrumental try 'Onset' live. Best wishes Po!

Nice reaction/analysis!! If you like the controlled chaos progressive stuff the Different and Black Hole are a couple of good choices. Black Hole is part of a Manners/Black Hole Live video. Manners is more of an old school bluesy rock groove song and Black Hole is the opposite. Good video because you get both sides. Different has one of the more unique riffs you will hear. As you noted the rhythm section is killer. The lead guitarist is the main composer.

I second the recommendation of Manners & Black Hole!

I wondered when you'd get to Band-Maid. With rock, metal, blues, punk, funk, jazz and pop elements with incredible hooks combined with the right amount of technically and "progginess" to keep a smile on even the most discerning musicians, they are my favorite band over the past couple of years (all genres)!!! They have somewhere in the neighborhood of 117 songs, 40+ "official" mv's and lives!!! Speaking of live, these ladies will be doing their 12 date US tour in October, starting with the Aftershock Festival. Having seen some of the greatest rock/metal bands and musicians live since to 70's, I've never been more excited to see a band in my life (I got my VIP's for D.C.)!!! Just pick a song, any song, I'm sure you will not be disappointed!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘

This band is all killer, no filler!

Welcome to the fandom! These girls just rawk! 'the backbones of this band are focking sick nasty' - well said! The bassist (MISA), drummer (Akane) & lead guitarist (Kanami) are all top notch. Miku & Saiki are no slouches either. ;) I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, Warning (live) & Real Existence (live)

Back again, This band is one of the groups can melt your face and your heart at the same time. If you don't believe me, check out "Daydreaming" and "About Us", their softer songs.

If you are interested in this drummer, check out Freedom live. Domination live and Play live also have great instruments interaction. The reaction with the crowd is also spectacular. The instrumental composition is good in Onset live. In the MV, Sense, Dice, Warning, etc. are recommended because the images are also interesting. Really highly recommended.

Welcome to the Band-Maid universe🤘. MISA!MISA! MISA!

I'm a die-hard Band-Maid fan and it was actually watching your videos on Lovebites that I fell in love with the power metal goddesses as well too. I was also wondering why you never checked out Band-Maid in all the videos you've done. So glad, you finally here exploring their music. It is gonna be an even bigger rabbit hole than Lovebites that you are getting yourself in with this band. These ladies are hard rock-based but they experiment with so many different genres in music, it is always a surprise what they will do next. They have such a huge catalogue of high-quality catchy songs that it will take you a while to go through all of them. You will find even though their solos are not gonna be as over the top as Lovebites but everything they do, they do it to fit the song best. I like your analysis of music and it is great that you're sharing your knowledge. I look forward to your next reaction. Some standard recommendations: "Domination" and "Freedom" both live. Music videos: "Blooming", "Rinne" and "Choose me".

With the power/thrash/classic heavy metal goddesses with progressive and symphonic touches you mean haha.

MISA the bassist said she progressed to a five string because the music of the band had got to the point where it required her to play one. Each member of the band pushes themselves and the other members to excel. The band prefers to play live as they feed from the energy of the fans cheers.

MISA..the bass player (The Barefoot Assassin)...used to play Trumpet!.......Then again most of the ladies in the band play more than one instrument.

great reaction dude, musicians always seem to get it when they hear BAND-MAID. 5 super talented ladies with a beautiful diverse catalogue that allows them all to shine. Lead guitarist Kanami has written 99% of their music since their first composition "Alone" 2016 was accepted by management/record label. Rhythm guitarist and band founder Miku Kobato writes all the lyrics. No God is off last years "Unseen World" album and its an awesome proggy, rocky , metaly album from beginning to end. You might have seen the Maids on hit Netflix action move "Kate" BAND-MAID make an appearance and have 2 songs featured in the movie "Blooming" during a car chase and "Choose Me" in a night club scene. They are touring the USA in October beginning with the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento California then continuing to another 9 cities after that. all sold out except for resale tickets. The song that brought them world attention was their very first MV "Thrill" and the first song i heard from them and have been hooked ever since. the Live show from Feb 14 2020(final live in front of an audience due to covid) has many not to be missed songs and amazing crowd interaction. Domination, Play, Freedom are a great start on live. During covid they performed 5 or 6 Online concerts which were all amazing and reached 67 countries. all great shows but missing the live audience excitement and released a number of songs from those shows. Hope to see more BAND-MAID reactions, Cheers

Oh ooh, I see a journey in your future....

I have 2 favorite bands today, Band-Maid & The Warning. 72 years of multi genre listening. I find the maids so diverse i listen to them everyday, sometimes all day. ALERT they have an acoustic version of a song called catharsis that is leaving KZread march 25th. U have to check it out to appreciate band-maid's talent. Also on the 25th, The Warning releases newest song, "money".

Very nice reaction. Thx 👍💪🤙

Welcome to the pigeon hole! Best hard rock band currently playing. And check out their fall tour of the US because if they're anywhere near you you do not want to miss the show. I'm traveling a long way to see them. They're all over the place style and genre wise so you definitely can't get a handle on them with five or even 10 songs. That's the beauty of this band. They can do anything and kill it. 🎵🤘 So obviously you're going to need to listen to some more of their songs. Their latest album is quite progressive like this but there are a couple of songs on there that are more classic hard rock. You should really check out some of their classic groove oriented Rock like the song manners. Also some of their flat out kick ass hard rock from the earlier days like real existence live or onset. You can literally pick songs at random off of their channel and be amazed. That's how good they are at writing and arranging. Every member of the band is equal and they are very hard-working ladies. They're the real deal!

Many more songs to listen to!! Band-Maid is my favorite band, the more you hear the more you will enjoy. Thanks for the reaction.

Glad you liked them. Hope to see you do more! 😉 Misa started on a 4string bass initially, but switched to a 5string. Usually I don't leave specific songs because they are so good on all their tracks. Perhaps Domination Live?

Love the fact that you're into metal like SOI, but have an open mind about hard rock (not everyone does). You've definitely picked up on the musical aspects of the song and this band in general (seems like it's always the musicians that get it). As others have mentioned, Band-Maid's got quite a blend of stylings, but always hold it together structurally. You can go all different directions: more in this vein, Black Hole, HGK, Giovanni; more driving hard rock, like Domination, Blooming, Rinne; more ballady stuff, like Daydreaming, Anemone. All of these are on their official channel and they won't ding you for doing your type of reaction. Got a new subscriber.

You RockdaRiff seem to enjoy true talent so I truly suggest you check out these three songs: YOLO, Unfair Game, Matchless GUM. They are true gems in their song list.

Best band in the world 🎎🤘🎎🤘

Glad you liked it, took me some time to pick one song for you. If you go any further with them, don't miss 'Freedom' live version, with a real drum solo (everybode else shuts up). And now you get all the stories about how strange/goofy/insane they are, from all the 'Maidiacs'.

Glad to see you checking out Band Maid!! The whole band is amazing!! 🤘🙂🎸 To be fair pick any song you want, they are all killers!! Their song writing is excellent!! Akane the drummer is a beast, literally, her nickname is the gorilla and yes, she is friends with Haruna!

That was really interesting. This band is remarkable today for their back story, and originality, and meanwhile reaction channels are the new FM Radio of the 2020s, so hearing you (as a musician) pick things up in an honest reaction was interesting to watch and much appreciated.

Band-Maid blends so many different genres into their songs they create their own unique genre! Five goddesses of Rock! No bad songs from these amazing ladies! "Domination", live, "Play", live, and "Freedom", live are great next stops for you, live and in front of a crowd! These ladies really excel in front of a crowd!

You should do their 2 song video “Manners, and Black Hole” next. You will not regret it! Also try the “Blooming” and “Dice” music videos. I’m another (I saw at least one other person say this) old rock and metal fan who’s seen the best groups ever and I put Band Maid on the short list of the very best. What sets them apart from most bands is they have so many great songs and no bad ones. We’ve all looked, and there aren’t any! And they are fantastic live, when it matters most.

It was the deliciously weird bits in their songs that first grabbed me. I remember thinking, god they sound different and couldn't help grinning. They are my kind of band. Even their most poppiest song has the distinct bandmaid feel if you listen to the detail.

Welcome to Band-Maid :) I have a huge smile cuz i know how amazed you are going to be as you explore all that this band has to offer. U.S. Tour 2022 see you Maidiacs in Seattle!!!

Haruna should tell Akane (Drums) to move the Band Maid concert venue from Belasco (LA) to House of Blues (Anaheim), Po! Less restrictions and you can add 700 more Maidiacs to the venue + more parking at Disneyland. Scandal will be performing at HoB (Anaheim) in July. MVP = rhythm section, Po! Great first rxn, Sir! Pigeon hole, we go!

True, but it would seem well to hit LA for the exposure. Their schedule for this fall includes quite a few venues in several states - 14 last I checked. Promoters have had to scramble to add places because tickets are selling out immediately. Their fanbase in the US is such that they could probably sell out stadiums now.

They are catchy, they are busy, they are talented, the are gorgeous, they are the best f**cking band in the world

This is a great, great band! My favorite. They’ll be in the US in October. Go see them!

This is just the tip of the iceberg. These girls are awesome! I can't wait for October!!!

Nice reaction!! Akane's friend playing the drums isn't Haruna from Lovebites, but Haruna from another band called Scandal.

Excellent job! This band has something for everybody, truly. If you like progressive, check out Sense or Black Hole (both have videos) or the magnum opus that is Giovanni (audio-only, sadly). For more Misa (bassist) goodness, I'd recommend I Still Seek Revenge. 👍

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid.

Welcome to the Pigeonhole! Enjoy not a bad track ..... 🤩

MISA did play guitar before she played bass, but neither was her first instrument. She was already proficient on piano, alto horn, and trumpet before she picked up the guitar. She’s also the only member of Band-Maid that doesn’t use a click track, because she’s that good. She and Kanami (lead guitar, primary composer and arranger) are both reported to have perfect pitch.

Band Maid does chaos very well.

This is a 'B' side no-go filler song, and it surpasses the best that the majority of bands have to offer. Not even in their top 50. Band-Maid is a band. 5 pillars that make up a phenomenal whole. To the music world; you have been slapped in the face. Will anyone stand up?"

MISA is definitely a monster on the bass. And Akane is a genius with her kit. Kanami, lead guitar, is the songwriter and holds back in most of her solos so that they don't stand out from the song. She's another genius and can definitely play when she chooses. And she's a riff writing goddess. The rhythm guitar/second vocalist, Miku, is the lyricist and fronts the band. She originally put it together. Saiki, the lead vocal, is perfect. Think of them as punk and metal influenced hard rock with pop vocals. Check out the Official Live Video for Manners/BLACK HOLE or Dice/Different.

Dude, Need to checkout Manners/Black Hole, the official live video. They show their hard rock chops.

Watch some more, I'll wait for some more,

MISA MISA MISA! sorry to disappoint but MISA played Guitar before Bass LONG LONG ago (9 years at least) she also used to sing but that only happens rarely now.

MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin. Band-Maid are the best Hard Rock band in the world right now. Band-Maid MV's are very good but their Live videos are 10 times better because you can see how talented these 5 musicians really are in concert and how much fun they have on stage with each other. You should check out the official Live versions of Manners/Black Hole, Domination, Onset, Freedom, Play, After Life, Warning just to get you started. 🤙🏼Then one of the Band-Maidiacs or Maidiacs can send you some of the hard to find official Live links to Don't You Tell Me, Moratorium, Take Me Higher, Turn Me On, Puzzle (both electric and acoustic versions) If you love MISA bass play check out Band-Maid's MV Dice

RockdaRiff Welcome to Band-Maid!

Bandmaid Manners/Black Hole live would be nice

Brother, the well is deep with BAND-MAID. The music video for "Thrill" is an interesting place to start for them, historically, because it's their breakout song. "Domination (Live)" is usually the song reacters start with and probably gets the most views. My favorite is the music video for "Blooming." But there's banger after banger on their YT channel.

please listen to the cd version to hear the astoudning drums

Bass player misa started of playing s chello

Now this one is great comment not like the other one I saw yesterday that guy said he's a musician but compare to this, he aint nothing Btw welcome to the ride, man. Check out MANNERS DAY DREAMING or WARNING for the new songs from BAND MAID or check out DICE MEMORATORIUM or RINNE for d old stuff but there are no bad songs form them, so check anything you want US tour on October this year, last but not least OUR ROCK NEVER DIES EVER - FOREVER

I subscribed you played back kanami parts 🤘

Be prepared for a 'flood' of Band Maid requests from the Maidiacts. Another poular comment will be Misa Misa Misa 😃 Fortunately Band Maid have many good and different style songs. As with many other Japanese bands, they play well live with great backing track mixed in seamlessly as they perform. A great live track to react to is Domination: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5ats6WDnpnYico.html&ab_channel=BAND-MAID

Fab reaction. Band-Maid can RockdaRiff to the nth degree. They have the best rhythm section in Rock today. More chaotic, they do that. More mid-tempo, they do that. More ballady, they do that. More of what you like? They do that too. Check out ONSET-LIVE for an instrumental that hits it outta the park. DAYDREAMING for a power ballad beyond compare. Try the MV Warning! for a song that is literally on fire. Dozens more great Rock songs after these. You'll be happy to slide down the pigeon hole because BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.

NANI!? "Babymetal" you guys keep it secret always. LOL. yeah I know how you feeling and that's very fun to me!

Another one loses their BAND-MAID cherry!!!

Great reaction, if you like progressive band, check out Sokoninaru, 3 piece Japanese band with high skill that will blownn your mind. I suggest "Sokoninaru - Gou ni Moyu". Please i highly recommend

Of the Japanese Big Three (BABYMETAL, BAND-MAID and LOVEBITES), BAND-MAID is the most inventive. When Kanami composes, I think she surprises herself, at times.

Ehm... "the big three" ? That would be something like Loudness, X Japan and Maximum the Hormone. If you mean all female bands, Babymetal is/was an all male band with a female singer, so what about Gacharic Spin? Sorry, just thought your list was a bit odd, not trying to offend you.

@@5Melig You're absolutely right about the Japanese music market. What the colleague meant was the level of popularity in western countries (where rock n roll was finally born). Wherever I go in music circles / music schools, people talk about the skills of the musicians from Kami Band, Band Maid, Lovebites as well as Saki and Senri Kawaguchi.

@@gitterich The musicians that I spoke with on the subject of Japanese rock/metal knew the Kami band, Saki, Band Maid, and were unaware of the existence of Lovebites, Nemophila, Bridear and the rest. That's in Europe, not the US. Mine is a small sample, you are probably right. I think each of those bands has a bigger fanbase in Japan than outside. But I could be wrong there also.

@@5Melig I mean, even Band-Maid are more of a yt band still. They don't really have a strong presence outside of the yt bubble and I haven't seen them being covered by Western music publications either. Western music enthusiasts rather know Japanese bands such as Fishmans or Melt-Banana.

There is no weak link in Band-Maid. There is no "star" of Band-Maid. It's Band-Maid, featuring Band-Maid!

Waste no time. Watch Manners+Black Hole (live) next. Seeing how you liked No God, you will be doubly impressed.

I can tell you if you couldn't remember if you had done BM, then it would be very clear that you had not. You couldn't forget them. LOL

BAND-MAID are so awesome that God is driving 17 trillion miles from heaven just to hear them play "No God" on their Oct US tour....probably.😏
