Band-Maid 95% of the time drops new videos after their live performances. They performed on Sunday in the virtual concert in Australia (SPLENDOUR XR). They only played 5 songs but they were amazing. I have been following Band-Maid since 2014 and I have every album and Dvds that they have created. You won't find a bad song on any album and they are all different. 🤘🤘
@@xagorvangard And you described that perfectly. That's why so many reactors say Kanami plays just enough then pulls back on the solo's to keep you wanting more :)
@@paulread4886 Yep i agree. They are both up there with anyone imao. Why some neanderthal reactors think women don't have evolved brains & hands to play is beyond me.🤷♂️
Here are the names of the band members. Kanami(Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Misa(The Assassin) - Bass, Miku(Little Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar and Creator of Band-Maid, Akane - Drummer Extraordinaire, and Saiki - Lead Singer. They are the greatest rock band in the world today! Fantastic reaction guys! I have a list of links down below in "What to do next" . Thanks for more Band-Maid.
Manners and Black Hole are both from Unseen World, their latest album. I really don't think you can go wrong with any Band Maid song you pick. They fall into different areas, some harder, some more metal, some bluesy, but all great. About US is an amazingly emotional song from Band Maid to their Masters and Princesses (fans) that they haven't been able to perform for. Saiki has a heartfelt introduction it is worth finding the translation for prior to watching. Warning is from the latest album and has a driving rock beat. Real Existence is a great older song and if you want to see two versions of the same thing, try Secret My Lips by Band Maid and Secret Maiko Lips by Band Maiko. I don't want to spoil the surprise.
OK guys I go by "Snowdog" not only as a RUSH reference, but also because I have two Siberian Huskies (Gypsy Rose & Rio) and I have to say all three of us are humbled and honored with your snowdog mug!! 😎🙏 As far as Band Maid, they will never cease to blow your mind, these songs are only snowflakes in the blizzard of brilliance that is their catalog of music. They can melt your face with a song like "Rinne", melt your heart with "About Us", boggle your brain with "Different", jazz you up with "Mirage", "RUSH" you up with "Onset", and then when you think you have heard it all they give you a cultural experience with "Gion-cho". All the hype is LEGIT! So who else would write a song about a black hole? RUSH of course! You should check out Cygnus X-1 🤯 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
just getting into Rush now, can't remember who suggested them to me (it could have been you) but I now have their first 4 albums (digitally only at the moment) and am finding them fantastic can't wait till I can afford to buy the next couple.

My Aunt had a Huskie growing up. Beautiful strong intelligent Dog. Great names Gypsy Rose and Rio! You will see that mug in every Band Mai video now. we wont shout it out and make it so obvious every time but you will see it. Thanks for the list of Band Maid songs and yea the Cygnus X1 comes up a lot so it must be awesome!
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Permanent Waves and Power Windows are my two fave albums. Favourite song 'Freewill' and listening to MISA, I'm reminded of Geddy...love his melodic bassline in 'The Big Money'.
ooh like that mug! ♥ This video just dropped yesterday! Manners is one of my fave Band Maid songs! ♥ This was a recent online only concert. I was fortunate enough to catch it live - was awesome!
Kanami (lead guitar and composer) challenged Kaname (drums) for this one, asking how fast should could play. She replied 190-200 BPM, so Kanami wrote it at 220.
Yes Debbie, I agree, and so much good live song up, maybe 40 or more, all are amazing. how they do this i dont know, but Tokyo school of Music breeds great band member as do the Production companiesand indie labels. Tokyo is where its at for good music these days.
@@debbieplato5107 Same here Debbie. 60's and 70's classic/prog rock is my wheelhouse. It's taken 40+ year to fall in love with a band again. But it happened and you'll be overcome with joy as you travel down the pigeon hole. There is so much stuff out there for the Maids it will take a while to get control of yourself. These ladies are a joy not only musically but as personable as you'll find anywhere. Enjoy!!!! Band-Maid!!!!! Peace.
@@debbieplato5107 for those of us that grew up with the classic rock of RUSH, Zeppelin, The Who, THIS IS THE BAND TO HEAR! Everything about Band Maid reminds me of those great bands. Well, except for the fact that they are Japanese women that dress like maids. lol 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
My top two BAND-MAID songs are About Us and The Dragon Cries, but honestly you can't go wrong picking anything. Freedom (live) has an epic drum solo and you get some of Miku's vocals too. Saiki Atsumi - lead vocals Miku Kobato - rhythm guitar/ backup vocals/songwriter Kanami Tono - lead guitar/ composer Akane Hirose - drummer MISA - bassist
@@stimproid Its a great song and I can hear the similarities, but I'm not sure I'd call any of their songs more "BAND-MAID" since I feel they are always evolving, experimenting and changing their sound. You can hear so many influences from many different genres of music.
@@Maidiac214 I say "more BAND MAID" in this particular case as they didn't write or produce "The Dragon Cries." It feels to me like they took what they learned from working with Tony , and made their own version. Just my opinion.
Manners was the 9th song of this concert and they had enough stamina and energy to make Black Hole the 21st and next to last song from this concert!!!! Then for the last song (Freedom) they got off the stage and were running around like Maidiacs. Go figure. This band is a juggernaut that will not be stopped.
Who ever thought up the idea to have the band come off the stage (Except poor Akane) and mingle with the camera people is a genius. It felt like you were right there with them.
Yes listen to drivetime"s suggestions below , he is on it man. I have been listening to these girls since 2016 and still can't believe how much they improve every track i hear. An astounding collection of talent that only happens rarely , so lets support them to the max !
Blues rock then hard and fast prog rock from the same ladies at the same concert! Doesn't get much better! The Small Pigeon scream is great! Band Maid, "Still Unfinished!" Miku writes great lyrics and sings back up in most songs, Miku's and Saiki's voices blend together so well!
Having stated that, I should let you know since you want to watch "Warning!" next, that its MV is super entertaining, and the live version is not that much better than the studio recording, so that's a rare exception where the MV is a must. Usually, I say skip the MV if there is a live version on the Internet, as Band Maid destroys live. For instance, "Dice". That song rips studio, as you saw. But just wait until you hear the live version which is out there. It's killer. "Domination" which you watched is 100x better live than in MV.
Real Existence Live - super high energy Rinne - heavy AF Daydreaming - killer rock ballad About Us - make you cry First two melt your face. Second two melt your heart.
You could go one of 2 ways- 1-Real Existence official live video - a real banger- czcams.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/video.html or 2- About Us - Official Live Video- A beautiful ballad which was written as a love letter to the fans. czcams.com/video/qicgVAxCYV8/video.html Can't go wrong either way. Cheers from Canada
They fall into the category of the highest praise I can think of to give a rock band: they're better live. Best hard rock band on the planet right now.
Guys, check also another all Japanese girls Metal Band NEMOPHILA songs Dissension, Raitei(Thunder), LOVEBITES songs MV Glory To The World, Winds Of Transylvania(song ANIME Vladlove), and HANABIE song We Love Sweets.... :)
We will but we are going to stick with band made for a while to get use to Japanese rock. We are careful not to go to fast into new music as we dive deep into the ones we are into. But I can assure you we will be checking out those bands in the future.
great double reaction guys. I'm really enjoying your channel and all the great rock reactions. I love Zep, Rush, Floyd and Band-Maid. And yes you should definitely do "Heart" awesome music. cheers
Awesome reaction! "Manners" is my favorite song followed by "Warning!" Both are off their newest album "Unseen World". Manners just feeds my bluesy hard rock soul. In the song Domination you can hear Miku (Rhythm guitarist, lyricist) singing way low with an almost guttural sound, it's been called her "frog voice", the way it blends with the music and Saiki's voice is very cool. I discovered almost 2 years ago, CZcams kept suggesting their song "Thrill" to me and I was like, "Maids? Really CZcams, go home you're drunk" I finally relented and clicked the video. Not what I was expecting! I checked "Real Existence" and "Don't Let Me Down". (Earlier songs) I really liked them but I was on a journey of rediscovery of the band Nightwish, so I didn't dive into the band at that time. About a year ago CZcams suggest their song "Onset", I remembered I thought they were cool, so I watched it. 🤯Good Holy Mother of Everything That is Good! I was complete blown away by it. Listened to it over and over, told everyone I know about it and began my journey with BAND-MAID and haven't looked back. I listen to their entire catalog all the time and there is not one song I skip.

Cool fact, just where you cut the video in Manners, Miku was about to sing "Masters and Princesses" which is a shout out to us the fans. Band-Maid call their fans Masters and Princesses at their servings (conserts). You have around 115 songs to go thru, hard to pick a favorite.
I am a 65old Japanese male, I also know the Jimmy Page about AKANE's incredible drumming play. AKANE's play style maybe more similar to Jinjer Baker of Cream, this is my thought. In fact, Jinjer Bake said that his play is not similar to John Bohnum.
To understand the meaning of Manners, you need to understand the mindset of the band. Miku (backup vocals and guitar) who is the lyricist said in an interview that Manners was specifically about Band-Maid. From the very beginning this band set their sights on conquering the world through their music and was quite open about this in interviews and named their albums to reflect that; Domination, Conqueror and now Unseen World. In the early days they were often ridiculed and not taken seriously. Manners expresses their journey: difficult beginning but progress through courage, deceiving expectations. It talks about evolution of their band, beyond people's expectations, learning from their mistakes but their journey to take over the world is still unfinished. Never stop until the world is in your grasp. I just LOVE this song and this band.
Is it just me or has anybody else see the frustration in saiki's eyes not having a audience to work with she feeds of them as well them her well hopefully that will end soon also great reaction thank you be well
Been following Band-Mind for a couple of years. They are one of the best. I was glad you mentioned the harmonies between Saiki and Miku. Very few reactors do, they are more blown away with the instrumentalists. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Miku has a resonance to her voice that makes her almost the perfect complimentary voice (not merely a back up singer). Plus when she has her own songs during concerts, she sounds fabulous. On a side note, there is another band I've just caught on to, a Korean rock band call Rolling Quartz. Their original song Blaze, and Rock and Roll Paradise are excellent. Give them a listen if you enjoy the rocking women.
You both have great reactions... Love it😃So, I subs. My recommended for you to check out of "Blooming (MV) , After life(MV), Turn me on (Live), Giovanni(instrumental)MV, No God (instrumental)MV" .. 🤣 I can't hardly wait to watch both of you Shock.. hi hi hi Btw, welcome to Band-Maid world. Cheers😁
The "Backup" singer you are referring to is Miku, who got the band started. These girls are all close friends (now), and do lots of things together. Japanese bands, unlike American bands, check their ego at the door and support each other. You will see in many of their songs that most of the members have short 20-30 second solos and the others, stop and watch and support them. Miku brought the lead singer "Saiki" in because she wanted a more powerful singer than herself, in the interest of creating the best band. AND IT WORKED!
Oh I really like that Miku is the founder. Yea you saw me focusing in on her. I see MISA mentioned a lot. I think that is the Bassist. We will get the band members name and back story as we go for the Madiacs comments! Thank you for commenting!
You are getting drawn into Bandmaid.. Lol The best band on the planet... Do Freedom live for an awesome drum solo and watch their interaction on stage... No one out there even comes close... And if you like female voices and rock/metal, take a look at Liliac and their vamp metal.. They are a family band from Georgia USA.. Watch their song Nothing... Best wishes from France..

The *BLACK HOLE* was the 22nd song of a 23 songs setlist in a concert that lasted 2 hours.
_(I was worn out just watching the concert)_ 😁 😁 😁
Admit it BM4L, you got tired out just thinking about watching the concert. It was the adrenaline that got you thru the next 2hrs ;)
Kanami doesn't have to be a super shredder. Everything she writes is done to compliment each song perfectly, not so she can show off :)
Per her own words, "A good guitar solo will trigger emotions. I always keep that in mind"...and that she does perfectly!
Exactly , every note counts with her, being the composer she understands that like only a few get. Miyako in Lovebites being another genius too.
@@xagorvangard And you described that perfectly. That's why so many reactors say Kanami plays just enough then pulls back on the solo's to keep you wanting more :)

OK guys I go by "Snowdog" not only as a RUSH reference, but also because I have two Siberian Huskies (Gypsy Rose & Rio) and I have to say all three of us are humbled and honored with your snowdog mug!! 😎🙏
As far as Band Maid, they will never cease to blow your mind, these songs are only snowflakes in the blizzard of brilliance that is their catalog of music. They can melt your face with a song like "Rinne", melt your heart with "About Us", boggle your brain with "Different", jazz you up with "Mirage", "RUSH" you up with "Onset", and then when you think you have heard it all they give you a cultural experience with "Gion-cho". All the hype is LEGIT!

Break through the limits.
Higher! Mistakes illuminate the way.
Start over. Let your life burn bright,
Until you've painted a miracle. Never ending!
Face the world, sing, more.
Take over the world!
Still unfinished.
Your destination beyond evolution. Let your aspirations arrive!
Take over the world!
Never ending dreamer.
To the Unseen World....
i love ur reactions
Cool fact, just where you cut the video in Manners, Miku was about to sing "Masters and Princesses" which is a shout out to us the fans. Band-Maid call their fans Masters and Princesses at their servings (conserts). You have around 115 songs to go thru, hard to pick a favorite.
Nice mug!
🤘🤘🤘
You guys got a long way with Band Maid
this is their fastest (beats per minute) song so far 200+ BPM
You definitely need to do Heart. Crazy on you is killer
Saw Heart perform this song live in 1978 talk about being blown away! Nancy's guitar intro...legendary!
Best female band hand down
I am a 65old Japanese male, I also know the Jimmy Page about AKANE's incredible drumming play. AKANE's play style maybe more similar to Jinjer Baker of Cream, this is my thought. In fact, Jinjer Bake said that his play is not similar to John Bohnum.
Thanks RIA! Shout out to Snowdog!
To understand the meaning of Manners, you need to understand the mindset of the band. Miku (backup vocals and guitar) who is the lyricist said in an interview that Manners was specifically about Band-Maid. From the very beginning this band set their sights on conquering the world through their music and was quite open about this in interviews and named their albums to reflect that; Domination, Conqueror and now Unseen World. In the early days they were often ridiculed and not taken seriously. Manners expresses their journey: difficult beginning but progress through courage, deceiving expectations. It talks about evolution of their band, beyond people's expectations, learning from their mistakes but their journey to take over the world is still unfinished. Never stop until the world is in your grasp. I just LOVE this song and this band.
Have you guys not seen the Official Music Video of this song yet? Go check it out.
T Zero - nope not yet...we are brand new to the band.
Guitarists have manufacturer's sponsorships you would enjoy "warning" !
that video is a lot of fun 🤘
LET'S GO!
Is it just me or has anybody else see the frustration in saiki's eyes not having a audience to work with she feeds of them as well them her well hopefully that will end soon also great reaction thank you be well
Nice insight.
I have noticed, but as they have done more online shows she seems to be adjusting. The first online they all seemed so "lost" lol
Been following Band-Mind for a couple of years. They are one of the best. I was glad you mentioned the harmonies between Saiki and Miku. Very few reactors do, they are more blown away with the instrumentalists. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Miku has a resonance to her voice that makes her almost the perfect complimentary voice (not merely a back up singer). Plus when she has her own songs during concerts, she sounds fabulous. On a side note, there is another band I've just caught on to, a Korean rock band call Rolling Quartz. Their original song Blaze, and Rock and Roll Paradise are excellent. Give them a listen if you enjoy the rocking women.
This wasn't just next level it was Boss Level. Japanese girl metal rules the world right now, the best drummers and shredders on the planet.
Black Hole goes at 220 BPM, proggy speed metal at it's best.
You both have great reactions... Love it😃So, I subs.
My recommended for you to check out of "Blooming (MV) , After life(MV), Turn me on (Live), Giovanni(instrumental)MV, No God (instrumental)MV" ..
🤣 I can't hardly wait to watch both of you Shock.. hi hi hi
Btw, welcome to Band-Maid world.
Cheers😁
Ridwan Chen - Thanks for the sub and the song suggestions!
The "Backup" singer you are referring to is Miku, who got the band started. These girls are all close friends (now), and do lots of things together. Japanese bands, unlike American bands, check their ego at the door and support each other. You will see in many of their songs that most of the members have short 20-30 second solos and the others, stop and watch and support them. Miku brought the lead singer "Saiki" in because she wanted a more powerful singer than herself, in the interest of creating the best band. AND IT WORKED!
Oh I really like that Miku is the founder. Yea you saw me focusing in on her. I see MISA mentioned a lot. I think that is the Bassist. We will get the band members name and back story as we go for the Madiacs comments! Thank you for commenting!
@@reactioninaction7415 My pleasure.
j- metal
love bites/winds of transylvania
Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass.
The back up singer was the main singer until they get their new main, and the both compliment each other voice,
And,
This is not their final form,
These girls are actually better live than studio.
The mark of the best bands!
You are getting drawn into Bandmaid.. Lol The best band on the planet... Do Freedom live for an awesome drum solo and watch their interaction on stage... No one out there even comes close... And if you like female voices and rock/metal, take a look at Liliac and their vamp metal.. They are a family band from Georgia USA.. Watch their song Nothing... Best wishes from France..
If you want to see the Baddest Ass Drum Solo on the planet check out "BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Official Live Video)" czcams.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/video.html at 2:04. I recommend you watch the whole video and just wait for it. I watch this at least once a week....lol Akane (Drummer) is actually one of the best drummers in the world. Every member of this band is AWESOME!
The Maids lay waste to every venue they grace.
