I've literally just landed back in London after flying to Yokohama for the sole purpose of finally getting too see our glorious maids live Sunday past,and all the horrendous flights 15hrs and trains were made worthwhile, as they were fantastic,everything I had hoped for and more,and for a solo travelling 1st timer,the Maidiacs were sooooo welcoming, friendly and helpful,there was an after party with food and drinks laid on until the early hours with Bandmaid live videos playing on all the big screens,truly unforgettable, 😊keep up the good work❤
Band-Maid will motivate you to travel great distances to see them and without regret. Ever.
trust me I know! 😳
@@Bekka_Noyb Lets see... One trip to the UK, another one to the US and a cancelled one to Japan (I won the lottery for the Budokan show, TY not covid-19)
@@mogaman28 Live in oHIo. Have travelled to Philly, Houston & Tokyo so far. I know they played in Columbus last year, but it was nearly $400 for a short set at LONG festival. Decided visiting friend & seeing BM in Texas was better option 😉
Facts! Been there, done it!
If you can, definitely do it. It's worth the time and effort. I live in the middle of the Pacific and we don't get many concerts so have to travel if I really want to see something. I'm in Japan right now and attended the Kanagawa Hall show. This was the first time watching "Protect You" live and it was epic! The whole show was awesome! Been to the West Coast, Texas, the East Coast and Japan. What's crazy is there are those who live outside Japan, who have seen them a crazy amount of times in the US, Japan and Hong Kong. And I've met some from Japan who have been been to over a hundred to a few who have seen them over 200 times. Some talk about seeing them where they were still a 4 piece, pre-Saiki. AMAZING! PO!🕊
The Band Maid formula for anime tie-ins seems set permanently to high-energy-awesome.
which they also like for regular songs, sure way more there but high-energy-awesome is kinda BM in a nutshell for me XD

Yes already preordered it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Like so many of their songs it requires listening to it several times to figure out what everyone is doing.
Kanami plays lead guitar throughout a lot of their songs. I think the reason is that Miku is already playing chords, holding that part down, leaving Kanami enough space to embellish the melody. They treat the vocals similarly, with Miku seemingly singing completely different parts than Saiki. It keeps all the parts separate and as a band, has them sounding "open" for lack of a better term. They never collide with each other, no matter how crazy it gets. No mean feat considering just how much is happening all at once.
Finally!!! Someone pointing out what Miku adds to their songs both musically and vocally. Thank you!
@@ziggyphoto There is a lot to say about Miku. In addition to guitar and vocal support, she writes almost all of the lyrics, tirelessly promotes the band, is founder and came up with the whole concept. No Band-Maid without her.
Mincho plays the guitar like its a violin
I said exactly the same thing recently 😂
it’s amazing to me that if they want to they can play any of their songs live.
Thanks to your comments, I made a new association of what the beginning and ending vocals are doing. Considering this is for a fighting robot anime, the beginning is a call to arms, and the ending is a victory cry.
What an absolute banger. This is the best band I’ve heard for decades. I really mean it ..decades!
As an old geezer I bear witness to that statement as truth. Like the bands of yesteryear but better!
Band Maid is going to release a new album on September 25th called "Epic Narratives"
My Lord! You are even more beautiful without makeup!
Great reaction as usual! You did a great job without a computer program to isolate the different instruments! Diodec did a breakdown of this song using that method and it is eye-opening! So glad you are feeling better! Thank you for your superb reactions! You do nigh the impossible- you make BandMaid better!
This has grown on me alot since its release. Got my preorder in for the album release in September. 🙂🤟
Another great song! Band-maid style. New album is going to be great.
Dallas and Houston are popular stops for Band Maid. I flew from Wisconsin to Dallas to see Miku's Birthday at the House of Blues.
They did DFW in 2022, Austin in 2023 and Houston in 2022-23. I'm hoping they add Corpus in their list so I don't have to drive as far. Traveling when you use a wheelchair sux at times.
Kanami trem picking for the Win.
I'm betting when they finally put out a live version of this it will have a little added spice to kick it up at least 2 more notches.
They just posted the info about the new album earlier, and if you aren't signed up for their updates on their website, you really should. As they update all their Masters and Princesses about new songs, MV's, OLV's, Concerts/Okyuji's, Merch and any other things. And the list is free. And unlike 'some ' people, Band-Maid does NOT sell or disseminate their list. Nor do they spam you. I think last month I got 5 messages from their website the entire month. And those were all related to their touring, and the release of new material.
Glad you are feeling much better. Please stay healthy.
On top of that you get to see behind the scenes videos of them and head cams and pull angles videos 🤘🏻
They usually do come to Dallas, Austin and/or Houston. Last 2 they did 2 dates each in TX
What a treat, I'm 26 reactions down for Band-Maid from you and knowing all the bangers you've yet to discover i just gotta stay on this journey :D Always a good time seeing a new Maidiac in the making, subbed!
I LOVE studio Band-Maid for the clarity, LIVE for the raw emotion.
Akanai doesn't have solo's, it just that everyone else just drops out because she solos through the entire song. I locked on to Kanami at the Charlotte NC show and she just never lets up for a second, it's a wonder her hands don't fall off after a show.
They've been here twice already. I went both times to the House of Blues. The first time was in The Cambridge Room, just a couple few hundred people. It wasn't advertised, Fan Club only. Then in the Big Hall. I was going to set up in the seats after a few songs, just to get that view, but not a chance. Once they got going a was transfixed in front of the stage the whole time..
Thor is soooo jealous when Akane "Brings the Thunder"..🤘 And just ordered the Epic Narratives Limited Edition CD+Bluray+Photo Book as well. Glad to see you getting better and OK will all that is happening in your area!
The next surprise will be a MV with The Warning. They have announced that earlier ago.
Just ordered the Blu Ray Limited Edition ... September seems like an eternity.
Very powerful second verse. Of course Akane and MISA bringing the thunder!. The girls have achieved a very characteristic sound for their anime collaborations. Thanks NittPicc!
Band-Maid firing on all cylinders! Can't wait for the new album, got it pre-ordered!
Ooh la la - the new war cry. Heavy as a freight train, intricate as a spiderweb.
I’m glad that you are feeling well Nitt Picc. Enjoyed your reaction as always and be sure to order your CD /DVD of Band-Maid.
I expect this song to sound quite a bit different live. Probably not as punchy as this master, but MISA's bass will have more thump, Saiki will go harder, and Miku's backing vocals and Kanami's guitar will be more audible.
They'll most likely hit Dallas on a future tour. If not, they're worth taking a trip out to see, especially if it's your first time.
The new album called "Epic Narratives" is released on September 25th, but is open for advanced orders now. Tracks included (the order not decided yet) are:
Memorable
Shambles
Bestie
Protect You

TAMAYA!
Get to the top
Toi et moi (french) = You and Me and I tried to find out what TAMAYA! meant, nothing I could find in Japanese translator. But I did find a place in Hacienda Heights, CA called TAMAYA Ramen. So..... It's not a fruit salad 🤣🤣 Looking forward to this new album alot since I haven't been to Japan to attend one of their okyu-ji's, I only know the first 4 songs. I saw them in Minneapolis just after release of Shambles, but they didn't play that song live until last few shows of the N. American tour.
@@jeffedwards9180 From Japan
As I know, "Tamaya" is a call shouted during fireworks. It is to praise the fireworks for their beauty, and to praise the craftsmen who made and launched them.
Cries of fireworks: "Tamaya" and "Kagiya" from a Japanese search site
These calls are said to be derived from the shop names of famous fireworks makers in the Edo period, "Tamaya" and "Kagiya". On either side of Ryogoku Bridge, Tamaya launched fireworks upstream and Kagiya launched fireworks downstream, and the spectators who came to watch the fireworks shouted the shop name of the one they thought was the best.
P.S. Tamaya closed down after 35 years due to a fire. Kagiya has been developing fireworks since the Edo period, and is a long-established company that has been in business for 15 generations now. Kagiya started developing fireworks, and Tamaya established a new company independent of Kagiya.
New album release September 25th
Just announced
I love Banned Made, but Not Pony Canyon..😢
@@nellybod8742Don’t know anything about Pony Canyon. Never heard of them other than their stamp at the end of BM videos. One point in their favor though is that I can’t see any sign of a corporate thumb on BM’s artistic expression.
Thanks for Band-Maid and have a good day!!!
Great vid! Definitely a flatter mix, designed to really spotlight Saiki. I feel like that is definitely a thing that is influenced because of the anime - always vocal forward. This song really gets into you, starts like 'oh that sounds interesting', and then suddenly you're listening to it like 20 times a day...
Ooh la la - the new war cry.
Akane slams through this whole song. Also the way Saiki says "two as one" gives me chills...
Also, the closing bit of the song, your reaction and your "I LIKE THIS"...phenomenal
Great reaction, thanks lady! ❤
You can pre-order their new album titled Epic Narratives from their label Pony Canyon now . The release date is September 25th.
Love this solo by Kanami
I really like this song and video. It's been playing in my head off and on since it dropped. Badass Banger for sure!~ NittPicc, the new album release was announced for 9-25. Epic Narratives featuring a collab song and video with The Warning. They met up in Japan before their show together and came up with a great song. It looks like both bands really appreciate each other and during their show in Japan, The Warning joined them on stage to play their new collab. This is gonna be fun! From the looks of things, a tour is more likely in 2025, but we'll all be anxiously awaiting that news!
Nice reaction as always Nittpicc. I put my order in for the new album and bonus "Day Of Maid" regular DVD. It cost about $70 including shipping. I'm so excited!!
TEXAS 🤟 SEEN THEM IN DALLAS. THEY WILL BE BACK. SEE YOU THERE 🤟🔥🤟🔥❤️🦧🍌🙏
Band Maid have played several Texas dates the past two years. The chances are pretty high they'll be in Texas again.
They announced the release date of the new album, 9-25, at the Kanagawa show and put it out in social media at the same time when they were notifying those at the concert. As for going to a concert, just channel Saiki's last words from "Shambles"..."DO IT!". You will not regret it. PO!🕊🤘😆🤘
@BRO-rh2cr was a great show wasn't😍🤩🙏
@@janlilley71 YES! Amazing show. First time hearing "The Non-Fiction Days" and "Protect You" live for me. I enjoy "Bestie", and it does sound so much better live. First heard it ZEPP Haneda, which was amazing, but the Maids just get better and better show after show. And the icing on the cake...the conversation with Mincho and MISA in "Influencer"! Had to pick my jaw up off the floor. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘
@BRO-rh2cr It my was my
1st opportunity to see them live, after discovering them around 6yrs ago,I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 and since before covid they haven't ventured too Europe, always Japan then America ,and repeat, understandable from a financial POV,so the stars aligned and I had leave,money and there were tickets available
for Kanagawa,so I said sod it,I'm going,and it was a great decision, am already plotting my return to Japan if I get lucky in the oversees lottery, or can get tickets in the general sale for the Zepp Haneda shows 🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞
Crazy how you went from that 1st time listener to understanding their formula, to still being surprise.
This time, what caught my attention are Koto appearing after the first chorus and Saiki's ascending vocal run in the second verse. I can always check out Band-Maid prime for details of what each instrument is doing anyway.
Thanks always for great reaction though!
As an aside the make up is on point. Love me some band Maid! Can't wait for the new album!
Great song, as usual form The Maids, but the extra nice bit about this song for me is that it's the ED for this seasons Grendizer U anime, as the old UFO Robot Grendizer (as Grandizer on TV here in Canada in 1980 or so) was one of the anime that got me hooked as a kid. Two of my favourite things coming together, you know? Yes, new album! Email waiting for me today, collectors Blu-Ray set ordered! Now waiting for Sept. 25, and then the shipping...so it goes.
Hola NittPicc. The album is released on 09/25 under the title Epic Narratives. There will be all the songs heard in recent concerts, with Protect You of course, and 7 new ones, making 14 in total. The ultimate version will contain the Blu-Ray of the Day of Maid concert with an insane set list. Let's hope the producer will doesn't cut the MCs (no white rooms). Thank you and take care of yourself.
Ouh là là, Band-AniMaid! Thx Grendizer U... and you too, Ms Picc! 🤘🤖
That insane drum intro and outro Akane is playing I believe it's called blast beats. It supposed to be played in death metal songs. AFAIK, the only band using blast beats in non death metal song is DragonForce (power metal). And now Band-Maid (a mainly hard rock band) is using that too. That's insane.
I have already ordered my copy of the new album, to come out in September. "Protect You" is straight-out anime music -- fast, intense, fun.
Thank you for the video.
It seems that humans can only distinguish three things at a time.
So I have to listen to it at least twice.
Once you get used to it, you will be fascinated by the sound of each of the five members, and it will take more than two listens.
I would like to hear their "shambles" soon and see your reaction to their amazing performance.
Both "shambles" and "Protect You" are songs for anime, but they are charming in that they are firmly in the context of each work, sincere, and highly restrained.
"shambles" is a song for a fighting anime, but KANAMI's riff is faster than a jab, and "Protect You" is a song for a robot anime, but AKANE's drop is more destructive than the space thunder of the special move.
おっ⁈ 体調は回復しましたか？😃
Oh⁈ Have you recovered your health? 😃
笑顔を見れて良かった😊
Glad to see your smile.😊
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
I love how Miku's ascending chords up the scale in the second verse are accompanied by the Maids riding up the elevator. Like a movie score. 👍
new album 2024/09/25, and this song is the ending song for an anime to come called Grendizer, the old "x" will remember this anime was called in america "Goldorak" has been released in 1975 in Japan and later in the 70's for europe and America, it was very popular and has a lot of nostalgic fan.
The ladies love Texas!
Including Buc-ee's, LOL!
Welcome Home Princess NittPicc! I hope you are having a wonderful day. Please take very good care of yourself and have an amazing week.
Agree with you about the mix. I had to listen to this several times before I could pick out the individual lines, particularly Kanami's and Miku's. As you may know, this is an anime ED and the studio was probably going for full impact and not detail. I really love the song, though, so I can't wait for a live version either!
another commissioned anime trac to add to their collection, and yes their new album should be out in Sept.
"Ooh la la" indeed! Nice to see you back...
Has Band-Maid created a new rock metal genre? Warp Speed Metal!
This is masterpiece, like always 🔥❤️
"About Us" it's about time....
Glad you feel better Check out shambles next also a anime song but it’s just a amazing song even if you aren’t into anime
I think you nailed it describing this as sweet AND hard core! As for the parts, much like The Who who had Keith on lead drums, John on lead bass, Pete on lead guitar, and Roger on lead vocals, Band Maid has the same type of ego tripping soloing but with NO EGO… its all BAND MAID with Akane on lead drums, Mincho on lead guitar, Misa on lead bass, Saiki on lead vocals, and Miku as the glue holding it all together po (not to be understated or underestimated!)
👍👍👍
You can also pre-order the new album ... TODAY! I go through CD Japan but there are a few options including going directly through Pony Canyon. As I am sure you read in the vid description this is the official music for the anime "Grendizer U" Ending Theme Song. Thanks for the reaction ... speedy recovery please :) .
I got the Blu-ray within seconds of finding out this AM. I'm so excited!!! 🙂I used CD Japan. I wonder what the 'bonus' stuff is?
@@80mtn I used the Band-Maid shop this time. Is the bonus CD included in the box from CDJapan?
@@sugaanessena3143 It says it's the day of maid show. Was that it? I was wondering what the A4 folder thing was? What does that mean?
@@80mtn I don't know about the A4 folder.

When Band Maid tours, yes, they always do a Dallas venue. Keep your eyes peeled for tour announcement soon.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 My wife and I witnessed this song played live last night (July 14, Japan time) in Yokohama. Our seats were in the 3rd row and just in front of Misa's position and very close to Miku's. This old couple in matching Maid shirts were in heaven. 😍
Kanami, tells the band I wrote ballad!!! Miyu takes Kanami's coffee away from her and sets it on equipment, the crew moves the coffee to a safe spot.
BM posted a short at the end of their Hall Tour about the future.

More Band-Maid on the way is always good!
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!
Last year when they announced the Austin date (closest to me), I was SO close to being ready... Wish I'd gone anyway. Next time, I won't hesitate.
Great reaction as always, Nitt!
The problems with the studio tracks (including this one) is that the producers always over compress everything. Yeah, you can hear everything, but it loses the separation that you get in the live performances. That's not to say that the studio tracks are bad, at all, just that it's a commercial choice that leads the hardcore fans to appreciate the live performances more.
Can't wait for Show Them to come out!!!!
you missed them in 2022 in Dallas and in Austin in 2023. Lovebites will be in Dallas in September.
Seen them & The Warning last month in Tokyo. Hoping to catch both again later this summer...
Thanks!
Just ordered the Blu Ray Limited Edition from CD Japan
I saw it live for the first time last night Okyuji in Yokohama.
Definitely better live.
Too bad they didn't announce a US tour.
Come to Japan! Po!
I wish!!! 😭😭😭
You mentioned flight of the bumblebee references on your last Band-maid reaction. I noticed that too, and not just on that song but multiple songs of the unleash album...
Have you listened to another anime song of theirs titled "different"? I hear Paganini on that one
Great song, cool video. I pre-ordered their new CD/BluRay this morning.
Are you going to see Lovebites in Sept.,playing Dallas, just as good as BAND MAID
09/25/24 is the new album release date.
You're a little too kind. I love this song but the mix is frustrating. I too can't wait to hear this live. I saw them last summer and the guitars really come through in person. It brings their amazing arrangements even more to life.
Protect You , is for Anime Grendizer U .
lalala🎎lalala👩❤💋👩lalala😻love it!
New album Sep 25
Hey Nittpicc, you going to make it to the All Star Game? Derby? Festivities?
I wish! The tickets were so expensive. I watched both the derby and the All-Star game from home! 😭
Still waiting for Miku documentary reaction ....
Next, I'd like to introduce you to another big Japanese band, One Ok Rock. You'll be amazed by the vocal. Try watching their live videos. That's their strength.
This is the second song from band maid that reminds me that is now associated with events the time the song came out. The first was Warning in 2020. Both are because of the lyrics. This one brings the image of a fist pumped in the air and a bleeding ear. "Fight"
"Ou lala" is Maid-Speak for "We're gonna kick you ass!"
I almost feel bad for the animes that have Band-Maid music. Because they outshine the anime itself so badly. Doesn't matter how good the anime is, they win.
I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO LONG LIVE TEXAS❤
FIRST OF ALL...LONG LIVE TRUMP❤......THIS BAND IS MY FAVORITE NEXT THE WARNING
Just letting you know, someone got real big mad about your comment and they are trying to get it deleted or something, It's free speech and you didn't break any rules. So I suspect they can't take that away from you. Cheers mate 🍻
