    The unbelievably good MISA - naked truth! It's both heart-warming and sad to hear nearly every professional exposed to our favorite japanese bands being so surprised they never heard of 'em. Sad because it demonstrate once again how the western medias are deaf and blind to everything coming from Japan, so much so that even professionals aren't exposed to greatness.

    Revenge Budokan, Po! As you may know, Asami, Midori and Harupi was at this show. Would be incredible if they had a collab, as Kanami tweeted to Midori's congrats tweet after the show, "I'm very late, but thank you for working with me until late the other day 😭✨I would be happy if we could have another chance to talk at length ☺💕 Please let us come to your live show next time 🙏 Midori's response, "Wow!!! Thank you KANAMI for your reply!! ❤I'd be happy to talk to you again 💓 Please come to our live show! 🔥🤘🏾We can only hope, Po! 🦍🍌

    Thomas had a fair reaction. It's how I feel. My love for Lovebites and Band-Maid is equal and I love both bands for different reasons.
    Lovebites is professional, prim, proper dressed for the formal ball. As one CZcams reactor related his 10 year old daughter saying, "Lovebites proves even Princesses can play Heavy Metal." Insane talent.
    Then there is Band-Maid. A bunch of hooligans lead by the chief hooligan herself, The Pigeon. This is said with all affection and admiration for the band. Again, insane talent. Band-Maid is a combination of prog, punk-pop, J-pop, jazz, funk, alternative rock, indie rock, classic rock and metal. Throw in a pinch of rap at times, too. Swirl it all together and you get one of the best bands in the world.
    That concert was their 10Th Anniversary show at Yokohama Arena. Got the Blu Ray and saw it had something like 33 song. When I popped it in I saw it was around 3 hours 15 minutes. Watching Kanami squatting down looking at Misa play we can see the admiration she has for Misa and she has that admiration for all of her band mates.

    It's always interesting to hear another Bass player react to MISA-dono for the first time. Hopefully, he'll listen to more and with subtitles on so he can follow the lyrics, not just the English parts.
