No member changes, still the same Band since 2013. You can't replace any of them, trust me. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😉
I totally agree with you. You cannot replace any of them. All five of them are the reason they are what they are. The sound they have - they are just unique, one of a kind.
There have never been any line-up changes with BAND-MAID specifically because of this song. It saved the band from becoming DANCE-MAID. _(shudders)_
Well, technically there was one change, when Saiki joined. Thus, BAND-MAID does not qualify for that prize which Scandal has got recently, being introduced into the Guinness Book of Records as the Longest Active Band Without Any Member Changes.
This was the song that saved BAND-MAID. "Thrill" was only the b-side to "Ai to Jonetsu no Matador" but the Maids liked the heavier style of Thrill" & spent their budget on an MV for it instead. Management had no plans to release anymore material until Thrill went viral & it was the best decision B-M have ever made :)
Ai to Jonetsu no Matador is my guilty pleasure from the EP. BTW I tried to buy it from Ebay and it goes for $2K
@@asicdathens Yeah i can well believe it, it's like gold dust. There's only one Maidiac i know who recently completed his collection of B-M's entire discography, including the ultra rare cassette tape that B-M themselves sold at the 2015 London Fringe Festival gig. He had to break the bank for some items :)
Truthometer says..................💯% true

It’s THE same line up for 11 years. That is the most important fact about this band.
This fan base is stunning. Never a sour word. They come hard with the history of the band because they love them I am stunned at the fan base. Best fans with the best band. Band Maid.
Same bass player. Depending on the song, Misa will play with a pic, finger, tapping or slap bass. She will also be using a pic and like a magician, she tucks it away and will slap some parts, and then pull the pic out again. You can see her do this in the live instrumental "Onset" czcams.com/video/mVrN-j_Uc0U/video.htmlsi=hWEVn4XgNRP3YrXc
Misa (bass) plays whatever style she thinks is best for any given part of any song, fingers, pick, slap & pop and even a bit of tapping on rare occassions. She flips between pick and slap a lot by tucking the pick into her hand.
Actually "Masters & Princesses" are what the Maids call us. The fanbase call ourselves "MAIDIACS" :)
I've been called worse.🙂
@@johnmatthew102 Whaaat!!! Someone called you a "Mincess"?🤭
@@GaryHolloway-810 Worse than that, I was called late to dinner. :)
This is another channel who doesn't participate in their comments section. Not even low-effort heart emojis.💓
@@johnmatthew102 Haha. Yep that's worse. Tbh i hadn't noticed if they do or not, i just tap away on my touchscreen far removed in my own little world :)
💯% correct 🤙🏽
Guys, no member of Band Maid has ever changed. They are always the same !!
Masters and Princesses are what. Customers are called at Maid Cafes.
We call ourselves Maidiacs.
At that point, Miku was just holding the Rickenbacker. She took on the rhythm guitar duties after they finalized their lineup so they wouldn't have to hire another girl. She had to learn on the job. Kanami (lead guitar) has been her teacher for the past decade. It's the same bass player. She switches up all the time and can switch from pick to slap and back again without dropping her pick. She tucks it against her palm with her index finger when she wants to slap. Watch for it in other videos but don't blink or you'll miss it. 😁
All the original band members, Saiki (Lead Singer) having joined shortly after the band was formed. Miku, founder and playing the Rickenbacker was the original lead singer but stood aside as she felt Saiki's voice better suited the music that she envisaged the band playing. The band and management decided rather than have two singers, the addition of a Rhythm guitar would give them more versatility as Kanami (Lead Guitar) would then be free'd up to do lead guitar stuff. Rather than add an additional member it was a choice between Saiki and Miku as to who would play Rhythm. Saiki didnt want to, so Miku said she'd do it. Kanami became her teacher (theres the Japanese equivelent to a tweet out there where Kanami says she had just given Miku her first guitar lesson). At the time of this video, Miku could barely play, if at all, and basically learned how to play while performing.
In an interview Miku said she hated playing guitar to start with as she found it so hard, but as she learnt more and then could do more she began to enjoy playing more, and now loves to play the guitar. Whenever they learn a new song Miku will still video herself practicing and send it to Kanami for Kanami's approval and advice. Maidiacs have a soft spot for Miku because she doesnt give up, and has always put the needs of the band above her own.
Same members from the start. As far as the bass, what has changed is she switched from 4 string to 5 string. She also plays both slap and pick, often in the same song. She can tuck the pick with her forefinger in less than a blink of an eye and keep going then pull it back again just as quick.
Band Maid self describes as a hard rock band, so calling it a hard rock riff is no insult.
The band calls their fans Masters and Princesses, this is from Maid Cafe’s in Japan. The fans mostly call themselves Maidiacs.
Thrill is really what kick-started Band-Maid's journey to become a hard rock band. The group started in 2013, but a year before Thrill dropped in 2014 and received over two million views in the first weeks of release on Facebook, the Maids hadn't played much rock music at all. And the 2nd guitarist, founder and lyricist, Miku, didn't even know how to play guitar. It's an incredible story and we are so lucky they stayed together during those early years to become, in my mind, the best hard rock band on the planet! Thx, D-Dad & Tub! btw - Same line up since the beginning!
The video that saved the band! And we all loved the little hat. Somewhere in Japan there is a shrine to that little hat. The takeaway here is that they've always been good - but that they have never stopped going full out to constantly get better. They are now beyond amazing.
As I am assured, you have already read that BAND-MAID is/will be all of the original members. And, they are sisters from different mothers. Thank you for your reaction.
Just read all the comments so far, and wanted to add that in the beginning, their record label rejected all the songs the band was writing, and made them work with established songwriters. So their first few videos are all written by others.
So, there haven't been any lineup changes in their whole career except for adding the lead singer a few months after they began. I think they love each other. The founder - the rhythm guitar/second vocal - has had a solo side project, but otherwise they seem dedicate to the future of Band Maid. Kanami, the songwriter, keeps it fresh and moving forward. That has to make it more interesting to the others.
There has never been a single line up change
Except... we lost Tiny Hat, in action, along the way....
@@nomennescio4604 RIP Tiny Hat
Technically there has been one. When Akane injured her back & a guy played drums for a show. But what's one show between Maidiacs.
@@GaryHolloway-810 I know and I would like to see a short video clip. do you think there is one
@@kerrylewis7964 Tbh i'm not sure if there's any actual footage cos i've never seen it on YT but there wete photos in Ohrenje's Akane docu when she still came to the show in disguise & helped out as a roadie :)
Guys, if there ever was a lineup change in BAND-MAID, you would instantly become aware of it because of the mass suicide that would occur. Thats one of the (many) things that make them so special. For over 10 years, they've been the same 5 unique individuals who each play a critically essential role in the band.
Thanks again for another great reaction!
🤘🤩🤘
Miku, the girl "playing" the Rickenbacker, got that guitar cause she thought it looked good. Changed over to Zemaitis guitars soon after and now has a signature model called "The Flappy Pigeon". The lead guitarist, Kanami, taught the rhythm guitarist how to play and now she is quite good on guitar. Same awesome members from the start through the their tens years as a band.
The members of the band are all very good friends and goof around with each other on stage all the time. It's the original group and has not changed. If you want to see a "fun" video with a drum solo watch FREEDOM live. This video blew up on the internet and saved the band from being dropped by their label. The suits wanted them to record a more commercial song but the band insisted on Thrill. Misa (bass) will pick, finger or slap and pop depending on what each song requires, she may do all within the context of one song. She can be picking and then tuck the pick under a finger and slap and pop for while and then switch back without missing a beat. Houdini stuff. She also generally plays barefoot on stage and is referred to as "The Barefoot Assassin". Keep watching Band Maid videos and you'll get the idea. Thanks for the reaction, I would love to see this band get HUGE. You have only touched the surface of what Band Maid can do., I encourage you to keep going.
Band-Maid was the brainchild of Miku (Red Rose, in this video, the Rickenbacker, founder of the band, second lead vocals, backing vocals, rhythm guitar and main lyricist) based on the theme of the Japan's Maid Cafes. One of Miku's jobs was working at a Maid Cafes to earn money to pursue her dreams. The concept she wanted was called "the gap", cute Japanese Maids playing hard rock music, creating a juxtaposition of what you see, verses what you get. A "shock value" if you will. In the Japan Maid Cafes, they call their customers Masters and Princesses, so they refer to us as Masters and Princesses and will always refer to us, the fans, as such. The Maids call their live performances as Okyu-ji's, which translate to "servings". And during their live concerts, one of their MC breaks is dedicated to Omajinai time, "Magic Spell" time. Miku, leads this part of the show, which is entertaining own it's own, but is extremely entertaining when the other members of the band troll her. But, being the smart Pigeon (don't worry, this will make sense the deeper you dive into the Maids), she rolls with it and often makes for funny memories. All of this aligned with the Maid Cafe themes. We fans call ourselves Maidiacs. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
Just a couples of FYI's...
-The band started as a 4 piece, with Miku (Red Rose) as the lead singers. Being the smart Pigeon which she is, after a very short time she realized her "Pop voice" wasn't quite edgy enough for where she envisioned the music to go, so she went to Management to find another singer. Enter Saiki (Blue Rose). No egos in the band, as they all do what best to serves the band and their songs. So they became a 5 piece band.
-These are all the original members from creation, entering their 11th year of serving us.
-Fun fact, in this video, Miku is holding the Rickenbacker as a prop. Miku didn't play any instruments prior to the band's formation. It was determined they needed a second guitarist to fill out their sound. Miku did not want to add another member to the band, so it would come down to either her or Saiki, When Saiki refused, she "volunteered" to learn to play the rhythm guitar under lead guitarist Sensei Kanami and has since become an excellent guitarist in her own right.
-During the pandemic, Saiki has started to learn guitar and piano. In fact, at the 10th Anniversary Finale at Yokohama Arena, the show where the live "Hate?" was shot, to the surprise of everyone, she played piano on stage for the first time. Do a acoustic solo version of "Choose Me".
By wanting to play the guitar herself, Miku showed how serious she was about keeping the band really tight.
Nice reaction! MISA eventually switched from 4 to 5 strings and mostly pick, as the songs became more intense. She still does fingers only on some lower tempo songs like About Us, Memorable and Mirage (my personal favorite). For their 4th album she seriously practiced tucking her pick under her index finger, so she could seamlessly switch between pick and slapping for the song Moratorium (a big fan favorite). That has become a trademark of hers, together with performing without shoes.
Thats still our Misa on bass playing a 4 string bass back then....11 years ago and still a jam
The fan base is unlike any other. I was waiting in line for a Band-Maid concert in Chicago. Someone bought pizza and water to hand out to everyone in the line!! The vibe is so uplifting you have to experience it yourself.
We all love the tiny hat. RIP tiny hat
Everyone has already mentioned that this is the same lineup as it has been for 10 years. Miku is just air-guitaring it at the moment, but under the direction of her sensei Kanami she has turned herself into quite the proficient rhythm guitarist and is indispensable as the bridge between Kanami, Misa and Akane.
The other thing about this video is that it saved Band Maid from breaking up. At this time, their management was not happy with their progression and refused to let them do their own songs and were ready to cut them loose. Miku and the ladies had no idea that this was going on behind the scenes. So the decision was to make a video and Thrill was picked for the song.
The video went on CZcams and I believe someone in the US picked up on it and liked it. They put the video on Facebook and it exploded, as hard rock had gone to shit in the US and we were starved for good rock. After that, it just exponentially attracted fans across the globe and they became the Band Maid we see today, with more fans outside Japan than inside. That has also changed and they have become more popular at home.
To get a better idea of their musicianship, you should check out some of their instrumentals. First check out the live official video of "Onset" (it's a real banger) and the MV for "From Now On", which is a bit heavier than normal, but just an outstanding composition. Another great song to show fan participation is the live official video of "Don't You Tell Me" from the same 2023 Yokohama concert that "Hate" came from. There's yet another fantastic bass/guitar solo battle in that video also. Great reaction.
No other band breaks new gate like Band-Maid. The only thing better than 2 Band-Maid reactions is the 120+ reactions needed to see their back catalogue. Oh, and another 100 live versions. And the 14 song acoustic concert. And....well, there's a few more to see yet. The band has been made up of its 5 original members since it was created and has never changed. It will still be going for many years to come too.
Kanami played Adictone guitars back then. Misa plays mostly with a pick but will switch between slapping and plucking even during songs. Miku switched to Zemaitis not long after this video. There have been no lineup changes. All origional members.
During songs is understating it. She’ll switch in the middle of a run. e.g., she switches to pick for just the last 4 notes of her first solo in Influencer.
The only change they have made was that Miku, the one with the Rickenbacker guitar, opted out her selfe of being the lead singer and they found Saiki instead. As far I know, Miku felt that her voice wasn't powerful or ‘rocky’ enough for their music. She's also the founder of the band, but I'm sure several people have explained that already?
As others have noted, there have been no lineup changes in Band-Maid - the same 5 ladies have been together since Miku formed the band nearly 11 years ago (yeah yeah, Saiki joined 3 months after the others 😁 ) ... any changes you've noted are from each member growing as musicians over the years - they were all barely in their 20's when THRILL was recorded (Saiki, the youngest, may have still been 19...) ... the Band refers to their fans as Masters and Princesses (it's a maid thing...) while the fanbase itself has adopted the monikor MAIDIACS.
"Nickelback!" Band-Maid didn't write this song. Back in the early days their record company wrote all their songs. I think by their second album they wrote one song themselves, it took off, and everything since has been by them.
Welcome Masters and Princesses to the best rock band on the planet. Any Maids track always ROCKS as they come for your soul. These beautiful ladies are in their early 30s now and have been rocking for 10 years with plenty of Solo work from Misa (bass) and Kanami (lead). Drum fills and solos from Akane are killer. The great thing is they always look so happy.
Thrill the track that blew them up on the world stage, after a slow start it suddenly went viral outside of Japan with an MV on Facebook (the label was about drop them when this happened in 2015), Domination, Freedom, Onset, From now on, Without Holding Back, Hate? Are all great tracks and they have an extensive back catalogue (130+ tracks).
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.
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. I believe 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!) 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. 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!
Their Battle Gear as they call it with slight variations are standard maid outfits for Akane, Miku and Kanami, a head maids outfit for Saiki and a Ninja maid outfit for Misa.
Been following Band Maid since 2013. I feel the need to give this reaction a like.
MISA, the bass player, uses fingers, a pick and slaps and pops when appropriate.
Who the f*** said there's lineup changes?Now it's the 5 original members 10 years going.On strong and best friends ever
Five young ladies who just want to be huge rockstars. Mission accomplished.
Discovered them during the Covid lockdown as did most of their fans in the west. This song was a slap in the face and was the wake up and intro to Japanese all female Rock/Heavy Metal groups. Misa has been the bassist from the start as are the rest of the members. Thrill was not written by Band-Maid but the reaction it caused was what kept them from disbanding.
Don't know who told you about personal change never happened and misa dose both she stashes her pick in her index finger swapping out they are the original five and they are legendary also she's holding her guitar she was learning to play at this point by the humble genius lead guitarist and composer kanami
It really hits hard to the souls of the maidiacs when Tiny Hat is mentioned. It shall always be remembered
Band Maid has the same lineup since day one. They have changed gear many times throughout their career. Kanami the lead guitarist was sponsored by Addictone guitars but switched to PRS. Their amps have changed several times since the beginning.
R.I.P. tiny hat. It's all the same girls. MISA (bassist) uses a pick but then taps, plucks and yes... sometimes taps! She's amazing. For MVs try Dice, Blooming, or Glory. Many have cut their teeth on Domination Live or Freedom Live. Manners/Black Hole is a live twofor that are two completely different styles but both kick ass.
They are much more than this. The Christmas acoustic concert, Band-Maiko which was an April Fools joke that blew up into an album, the Genshin Impact concert, the Anime songs and movie cameos... so much to discover if you want to.
Great band. I saw them in Phoenix 2022.
Someone is incorrect. These are the original members and they remain the same to this day. Great reaction and thank you for supporting our Maids.
As zer0tzer0 said, Miku couldn't really play her Rickenbacker at this point. In fact, to save time in the studio, Kanami still records all the guitar parts herself, and Miku learns her parts to play them live. These days she is a more than capable guitarist.
It's easy to think some members have changed, since they look like babies here.
Their Live videos are pure gold. A great MV showing mid way progress is 'Dice'...such a great skillful and catchy rocker. My most played song...so addictive 👌🤘🤘🤘
The following is just my opinion about the influence of the BabyMetal phenomenon on the creation of BandMaid. Opinion not fact:
Band founder, the Mighty Miku Kobato is as sharp as a tack and as hard as nails while being the poster girl for cuteness. I suspect when she was in the underground idol band Lil Cumin she realized that BabyMetal was gaining loads of fans combining metal music with idol cuteness. Being the astute business woman she is she pitched the idea of Maid cafe maids who actually PLAY hard rock music to the suits. And so 10+ years later with the same lineup, no changes in any of the members, they have a deep catalog of over 130 songs. The only change came with the addition of Saiki Atsumi as the lead vocalist after 4 performances. No other changes.
BTW if you dropped Miku Kobato in the middle of the Sahara with a kazoo she would still find a way to become a rock star! Or a fighter pilot or any other bloody thing she set her mind to!
That's pretty much Miku in a nutshell.
Nonsense. Baby Metal would have been too much of an Idol band for Miku. She wanted to get away from that. I get tired of the Baby Metal comparisons. Baby Metal is not a female rock band.
I have so much respect for Miku. She created this entire amazing band out of thin air using only her imagination, drive, and iron will. She is the secret sauce behind BAND-MAID. Pretty damn good for an 810 year old pigeon. Po!
Domination (Live) if you want more of an idea how MISA switches from slap to picking back to slap. Moratorium (Live) is a must (but not fan cams). There's a legit live version out there on CZcams.
Here are the changes to the lineup: Little Hat has been retired. Bass player Misa no longer wears shoes unless the floor is too hot. Leas singer Saiki has burned her apron.....LOL. These are the same 5 ladies....just a lot younger. Great review!!!!
LOL. Love your description of their “lineup changes!” RIP Tiny Hat!
Band Maid self describes as a hard rock band. But they do every variety of rock. Thrill was not written by the band. Their first 20+ songs were provided by management, as their own early compositions were not deemed adequate. Take a listen to Alone, their first band written song. And listen to Non Fiction Days, and Real Existence. Outside sourced and arguably templates for their "sound".
May be they misunderstood when someone said MISA almost LEFT😮💨
Yeah, it seems MISA had doubts early on until, fortunately, she had a great experience with a live audience and realised this was a good path to take. THANK FCUK 🙏😁
Not true! BAND-MAID never had any "lineup changes". And, actually, she is not playing at Rickenbacker. Or rather I should say, it is a Rickenbacker that she is not playing. Miku couldn't play guitar at all when she formed BAND-MAID. However, it was either learn to play or hire a sixth member, so she had Kanami teach her to play. And learning to play and sing at the same time is tough enough, but to do it while in a working band compounds it. She soo ditched the Rick for Zemaitis. And yes, we all loved Akane's Tiny Hat, may it rest in peace. Actually MISA originally wore t. But the only thing she changed was switching back and forth between Pick and Slap, and she never drops it. Check out 'Onset' LIVE. Only BAND-MAID call their fans Masters & Princesses. We don't call ourselves that. We're not The Maids. We are The Maidiacs.
And Miku is the lyricist for the band.
She still owns it.
She bought it because she thought it was pretty.
Again, this wrong myth persists. The band was originally performing with dual lead singers, both fronting and holding a mic. That was the case when they performed this live. However, by the time they were playing this, Miku was already strapping in for about half of their set, playing and singing. Live footage from this period proves that.
Well, they kinda did have one line up change when they decided to go from 4 to 5 when Miku didnt think her voice was strong enough to be lead singer so they added Saiki
@@cuffzter
Miku made that decision and it was really early though.
Despite they are better live, I would still like to recommend the MV's for "Shambles", "Rinne" and "Warning", since I know you will love them!
Seconded
@@swissystan Thank you! I forgot the MV "After Life"! It's proper bop too! I hope for a second for that as well! Please?
Five incredibly talented amazing musicians. If you can stomach the fan base you're in for a treat. Many of them are It seems self-appointed PR and legal representation for the group. And many also think their comments are just as important. In these reaction channels on CZcams as the band itself. A lot of circle jerkers back slappers and what we used to call. The mutual ass kissing society amongst the fan base. Good luck with your channel.
Some others I think you'd enjoy: Dice, Blooming, Rinne, Manners, Shambles. They're special, so enjoy the ride!
3:18 mention of Tiny Hat you are officially a Maidiac.
MISA MISA MISA!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NO LINE Up CHANGES
4:27 yes for very few songs her fingers. Her fun trick is switching between pick and slaping shamelessly. Watch their live instrumental called ONSET also in their channel.
Another fun song of them is NO God, special mention for the song PUZZLE
I'm sure its been said. No member changes they just celebrated their 10th year and are going stronger than ever. New album dropping this summer!
Same Misa on bass. Ten years and no lineup changes. She has become a master of the 5-string bass and now easily swaps between pick, pluck and pop mid bar if need be by hiding the pick behind her index finger. No God is a fantastic example of her unparalleled talents.
If you like chonk in your rock, Moratorium is the song to check out.
Zero lineup changes, except for the retirement of the Tiny Hat.
MISA plays bass with her fingers AND a pick. Sometimes she switches in the middle of a single line as you can see in the classic line performances of PLAY and DOMINATION from 2020.
You’ve got more than 100 other songs to enjoy.
Look for videos of the Tokyo maid cafe experience to understand the aesthetic.
Same lineup. This video saved the band when it went viral.
Misa switches between styles so quickly you have to go frame by frame to see her tuck the pick to slap and bring it back. Her solo in “Onset” probably shows it best. She recently mentioned that she wrote a bass part for a song in what we assume will be for the new album that switches between pick and slap almost every measure. She jokingly said she might end up regretting it but I can’t wait to see her pull it off. The most consistent finger style would be from the Christmas Acoustic Livestream from a few years ago. The softer sound is amazing behind the acoustic guitars.
Welcome, I see two new Maidiacs! MV Blooming is different but good. Thanks fellas.
Miku, the second singer, and now also rhythm guitar player did not play guitar back here. She is only carrying it.
Eventually, the guitar player got pissed of and said - you need to learn to play guitar or do not carry it.
And she learned to play and now is very good.
Today she play mainly Zemaitis, which also is weird guitar. But she likes their bling bling metal front. She even have a flying V signature guitar with pigeons.
You have not missed that she is an 810 years old pigeon?
Like's been said, no line-up changes. The only change was the addition of Saiki, the lead vocalist, a couple months after the band started. So, effectively, the same line-up from when they started 11 years ago.
‘Welcome home Master & Princess(who don’t want to be master)😊😂🤣🤣🤣🔥❤️🤟, thanks for reaction and see u AGAIN😊😊😊😊
I'm happy that BAND-MAID is number one in both of your TOP 3 rankings.
I predict that this number one position will remain unchanged in the future. Just like us😁
Welcome back on the Band Maid road 😂 next? I recommend "Manners, Blackhole" live. Just s pick from many great songs, but a special one: you win get groove and speed 😅
band line up hasn't changed since they became 5 members, Misa the Bassist can play pic, finger and slap in fast rotation as she has the technique of stashing the pic in the crook of her finger. if you watch Domination live performance you get a close up of her doing it and just how fast she does it during a bass solo.
Miku the rhythm guitarist is holding a Rickenbacker but thats all shes doing as she doesn't play a note here, she has only just taken on the responsibility to start learning to play under Kanami (lead guitarist) as her teacher. Kanami plays both guitars in the actual recording. Miku has come on incredibly from the beginning and is now a great guitarist
Band-Maid, "Shambles" is pretty heavy too.
Great reaction! They have had the same lineup since day one. I think you might got confused with them with another band.
Maidiacs is the official name of the Band-Maid fans.
Band Maid is playing a show with a band called THE WARNING this month..try THE WARNING LIVE.. EVOLVE LIVE AT THE MTV VMA'S 2023 or try AUTOMATIC SUN LIVE AT TECATE PA'L NORTE FESTIVAL (STUDIO VERSION) you'll love them 💥✌️
Mosh Pit - sounds like you guys are fans of heavy metal. In that case you should react to LOVEBITES the heavy metal band from Japan. Unlike Band-Maid, they sing all their songs in English and have TWO lead guitarists who shred. Start with their song Judgement Day.
Same wonderful members 10 plus years later . No changes
Join The Cult of the Tiny Hat!😀
The only things that have changed are their guitars. Lead now PRS, Rhythm- Zemaitis, Bass- Black Cloud.
The one where Misa wears shoes.
Same Bass player. Misa switches back and forth pick to fingers, often, even during same song. Band Maid has been the same members since day one.
All hail Tiny Hato! RIP
Band Maid doesn't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre. Pop, punk, prog, thrash, rock or Metal. As you dive into their catalog you will hear all of this blended together into the Band Maid sound.
Sadly, tiny hat has been retired !
😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘
R.I.P Tiny Hat.😔
@@GaryHolloway-810 Akane said the strap to keep the hat on hurt her head.
@@MrBryanwithay Very true but she could still have it as a mascot propped somewhere by her kit. The 10th anniversary tour final at Yokohama would've been the perfect occasion to bring out Tiny Hat :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 I agree 100%
Same lineup. if any of them leave there will be a collective massive heartbreak
Miku wasn't actually playing that Rickenbacker, at least not much. She couldn't really play guitar back they and mostly held it as a prop. But she started taking lessons from Kanami and now is a really competent rhythm player. I believe Kanami has played all the guitar parts in studio recordings for most of their career.
There have been no changes to the line-up. All original members. This was 11 years ago and they were all in their early 20s at this point so of course the look different now.
Misa plays mostly with a pick these days, but did a lot of fingerstyle early on.
Miku's lack of experience with the Rickenbacher has been covered already, but I have my own speculation on why she chose it. She asked Kanami for a recommendation on which guitar to buy, and she said to just pick whatever she liked. When she came back with the Rick, Kanami basically facepalmed. Now for the speculation part...I think Miku chose it simply because it was black and white and would coordinate with the maid aesthetic better...red outfits in this video notwithstanding, since the other videos with this guitar have the black/white maid outfits.
RIP Tiny Hat-san
You'are in front of a legend!.
MISA is the same bass player as always. She uses her pick and fingers in the same measure.
And she has the best sleight of hand by tucking away her pick mid song :)
9:43 yet some of us prefer MAIDiacs
Misa changes between pick and slapping. And often she switch between picking and slapping in the same song.
And yeah this band has had no changes in their line up. But I do npt need to say that as everyone already did that😄
Nice reaction.
Play, Dice, Morratorium, Rinne are some songs you should check out😎👍
People in the last video said there were lineup changes?...
The impresiveness will continue. Now check out a Live instrumental: ONSET-LIVE. Then check out DON'T YOU TELL ME-LIVE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 329
There have been no changes in the band.
All members are original.
Do "Freedom" Live, drum solo included.
AKANE "lost" the hat a few years back. It kept falling off while she blasted the drums.
MISA is MISA is MISA!!! These are all the original members! No one has left in the 11 years of being together.
MISA plays the bass with fingers and picks - in the same song! - From a radio interview - - (Chris): What amazed me most about your play style is the changing of picking to slapping, and then picking again so smoothly. Some bassists may throw their picks away to slap, but you use the same pick when you change from slapping to picking again, right?
(Misa): No, I don't throw my pick away. I have become better as I practiced. For the recent 2-3 years, I haven't lost any pick.
(Chris): Show me how.
(Misa): I keep the pick with my index finger and palm.
(Chris): Then you slap the bass with your thumb and middle finger? Can you show me how you play? (then Misa shows how)
(Misa): Because I've been practicing these days, I can change faster than ever.
(Chris): You are mixing them up! That's awesome!
(Misa): I think anybody can do it if you practice.
Misa - BASS GUITAR plays Black Cloud "Smoker" and Privat Reserve (SG Style) bass - Orange AB200B MKIII Amps
When you watch NO GOD (instrumental) - replay it slowly (playback at .25 at about the 1:40 mark) and you will see MISA switch exactly as she explained it in the interview. - czcams.com/video/UGGILH6wjgk/video.html
