This video should be shared with whoever wants to know what it means to see Band-Maid live. It’s got all the elements (except Miku and Misa blocked by the pillar).
@@chrisbergsten1429 Kanami... Being so close to her for two hours completely changed my feeling about her. Previously, I was appreciating her, so to say, theoretically. My real crush was Misa. But during those two hours, Kanami occupied a huge place in my heart. She is really, really, really great. Not only as a musician, but also as a person. May God bless her in all her endeavors.
One of the best rock bands today I think. So much energy to their music, seems like a blast to see them in concert. Every time I watch these girls I'm blown away how good they are as musicians.
I'm glad they seemed to have so much fun! The stage was so tiny, it must have been hard moving around, on top of how hot it was in there. They still rocked our faces off with so much energy and joy :D
So well said, I'll translate it: Thanks to the contributor for posting valuable live footage. In Japan, BAND-MAID is still a minor existence, but I believe in becoming a full-fledged Budokan over time. The more you know, the more you hear, and the more you hear it, the more you become addicted.
@@johnmiezejewski81 Definitely! They remind me of Cream in 1966, albeit different genre of music, they match Cream's creativity and virtuosity. I admire so much about Kanami, Misa and Akane, I could write all day about them. Also like how they support each other, including Miku and Saiki, on stage. Beautiful to watch that!
I just noticed (watching this video I don't know how many times lol) that at 1:56 Miku played the part that Kanami usually does. If that can happen more often if would really free up Kanami to do even more brilliant playing. And Kanami tickling Misa's chin at 10:27 was priceless.
The support and respect Band Maid members show to one another is beautiful and inspiring to see! Gotta love these beautiful ladies, both as musicians, and for their exemplary character.
I'm really happy, that they did again proof, that Rock 'n' Roll will never die. Awsome musicians and such a good show. You can see how much fun they have, one of the things which makes a band great. And I hope I will never see anymore a comment, that you cannot understand the lyrics. No need for it.
I was there, stood in the first row. This was the best 2 hours of my life. Thanks for uploading this awesome Show. Now i can enjoy it every Time and the good feelings come back! :)
Lost in music doesn't begin to describe it. Kanami is a pure rock machine. They say she is not technically perfect! Oh really. She plays with her soul and is the most prolific riff machine in the business. When she and Band Maid play they bring supreme happiness to all. Bless them for the treasures they are.
I also don't understand when some guitarists say that Kanami is not technically perfect. I think it's because her style is unusual. She's really not reminding us of anyone else, as Ryan Mear put it. So, it may seem to some musicians that she's playing "incorrectly," and they interpret it as a deficiency. In reality, Kanami is just a phenomenon of different proportions. She's not "a guitarist" in a usual sense of the word. She could better be described as a composer and a mastermind behind the band. She's not just doing her thing of playing the guitar, she puts every other member in place, and she makes a lot of room for them to insert their own pieces of the whole tapestry which is a BAND-MAID song. Despite being the mastermind of it all, she takes her 20% of the whole and does it perfectly. But then some professional guitarists frown and say, "Kanami is not perfect." Because if they would be in her place, they would try to steal the show completely, fighting with the other band members for greater exposure...
@@markhunter8554 Lack of understanding, I would rather say. The reason why there are so few good bands, is that many people who are musicians by profession, don't really understand what is music. It's a highly technical field of human endeavours, no doubt. That's why it's so easy to be absorbed with technicalities. "Oh, he played it this way, and then this way, he's a great musician!" While in reality, it was just an amazing show of skills and no music. On the other hand, there are many people who are very musically-minded, but who are not good at any instrument. Miku is like that. Her mind works very well when it comes to composition and harmonies, but it took her years before she mastered the guitar. Now she gradually turns into a very interesting guitar player with her own style, just listen to "hatofull" album. In BAND-MAID, she was always doing those dual vocal things, which are quite unique. They were unique in MAID in JAPAN times, and they are unique in Unseen World, albeit different. But as far as the rest of BAND-MAID is concerned, they are perfect musicians in every sense of the word, i.e they are both musically minded and technically proficient. It was funny how Saiki commented in her interview for the Unseen World Score Book: "Kanami's fingers now move so fast it looks disgusting." 😂
@@VladimirChupin As far as what you said about Miku, it reminded me of something George Martin wrote in his memoir. In essence he wrote that there are incredible musicians who are not songwriters and some songwriters who don't even play an instrument (if memory serves he mentioned Lionel Bart as an example).
It has been a little more than a month since that glorious night in Hamburg and I keep coming back to this video almost on a daily basis... this is pure gold!!!
The Band Maid supporter part of me wishes they could play much bigger venues to get more exposure. The selfish part of me is glad they still play venues like this sometimes. Even when they reach the level of recognition they deserve I hope they continue to do so. Besides, they truly seem to be having a blast.
Ken100, I understand 100% what you meant.

It seems to be a garage but it is a well known institution in Hamburg for over 40 years. And because it is so tiny audience and musicians love it. It creates a privat atmosphere as you can see in the video. The audience is only one feet away from the stage and I feel blessed that I was part of it.

@@showgee it will happen. www.inkcarceration.com In Mansfield on July 11th at the Ohio State Reformatory. This festival drew 40,000 last year. And they appear on a Netflix production of Kate portraying themselves. That will further expose them to thousands more.
That was unexpected for all of them. Watch Kanami's face just before that moment. She looks at Saiki, as if asking her, "What do you want, my beloved? I have something for you, you'll like it," and than says "Europa" with her guitar. Priceless.
This is so much fun to watch...they all seem to be having the time of their lives...great to see Kanami so up close and personal with a grin on her face a mile wide throughout. And of course Saiki playing the crowd like a marionette...so awesome. This has me extra pumped up for NYC in Sept. Thanks Vlad!!
Incredible band. Awesome! To me, Band Maid and Love Bites are the most exciting bands in the world today. I'm a 70 year old Texas cowboy......Blessings from Texas!
I lived in Oklahoma so I'll forgive you for being from Texas. Seriously, gonna give you another band to check out...Aldious. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
@@johnmiezejewski81 Right on, John, Aldious is another great Japanese band, indeed. So is Love Bites, D Drive and the young trio, Asterism. All feature awesome young women on guitar. As one reviewer asked, "What do they feed these young female musicians in Japan?" To me, Japanese bands are the best in the entire world now. I despise rap, and hope the beautiful master musician ladies of Japan can indeed take over the music industry, world wide.
Its so amazing to see so much talent squeezed on the the tiny stage of a venue so divey there's a pillar in the middle of the stage. Yet these ladies take it in stride, rock like they're in a major stadium, sounding great and smiling the whole time.
Yes, I know--it's impressive that they just go out and do their stadium show vibe kicking major ass! It's beautiful how nothing phases them--they just conquer whatever is in front of them WHEREVER they are!! Same with their online shows these days.
Yes, it was a wonderful night! 🤘 The whole show was amazing. It was hot like in a sauna, but BAND-MAID made us forget about the heat, they have filled us with energy from a different world!
The performance is one thing, it's f* AMAZING! But holy shit, you're standing soo close!! My god. This must have been such an intimate and good feeling concert :D Wish I had discovered B-M back then but only found them 3 days ago :'( Hoping to see them live once touring starts up again! Thank you for making me feel like I was there
Thanks for being with me at this show! 🤘 Yes, being so close to BAND-MAID at a concert is a life-changing experience. Their energy just flowed through me, changing me in some very profound way...
I often asked myself, when will Kanami quote her big idol and here she did !!! The song from which she played the first notes is called very meaningful "Europa".
These girls deserve to be in front of thousands and not on these small stages. Let's hope they get there. I will be in Dallas... but man... they deserve the main room at the House of Blues. It's a shame my U.S. brethern are too damn uptight about "it must be English" bullshit. As I try and tell people, you go listen to crap in English (or stay buried in the past). I'll enjoy something fresh, new, and frigging awesome.
In all honesty, it would be better not to understand the words in some songs. Even if the song sounds cool, the lyrics quite often are trivial, or downright stupid. Miku at least has a deep philosophical mind, and if you watch a BAND-MAID song with subtitles, you quite often get goosebumps...
Perfect example of less is more...what Akane can do with a small kit is amazing. Proves you don't have to have a kit like Portnoy or Peart (R.I.P.) to be a great drummer. No disrespect to Portnoy or Peart, love them both. Also Kanami intro to Moratorium & riff at 13:11...doesn't get any better.
Or a kit which Senri Kawaguchi has 😊 Although she uses all those bells and whistles a lot. But you are absolutely right. Akane is able to deliver an amazing product with that basic kit. A journalist in the drum magazine asked her, whether she thought of using two bass drums. We know she tried, there's a photo of her behind that bigger kit, with two kick drums. But in that interview, she said that she will stay with a simpler kit for the time being: - Your Tama Star Drum kit has a simple setting of one bass, two toms, and one floor for your aggressive style with full use of high-speed phrases of toms and a bass drum. Do you want to switch to a two-bass kit someday? Akane: I’m often asked that, but I originally prefer a simple setting with one tom and one ride side by side, so I’m the type for a one-bass. I want to try a two-bass once, but I don’t think it matches my image. I love my current setting where I can see audience and I feel near the other members. www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/fqeffl/interview_with_akane_on_rhythm_drums_magazine/
by the time I was 15 I had had seen more than a few monster kits from the big ROCK SHOWS (early 70's) then I saw Buddy Rich ....WOW! Akanes modest kit makes me smile.
With that intro to Moratorium Kanami has finally come out of here shell. She grabbed that audience by the balls and said 'You are min'. I've never seen her so animated and in the moment. Kudos for a great intro.
Vlad you have outdone yourself! Thank you very much for posting all these from their European World Domination tour, excellent quality. I have a ticket to their Dallas show and intend to study these for reference;-) I appreciated your Misa vantage before but Kamani steals the show with her solo before Moratorium. I love how they all react to it. Beautiful women, great personalities, technical wizardry, tasteful music, and "service" uniforms Japan should declare them a national treasure. But what I really love about them is how they love one other & have fun!
While being in Hamburg, I stayed with my sister who lives there. The day after the show, we watched the Queen movie, and afterwards I've shown them the Bubble MV. I have never seen this Queen movie before, but I knew, of course, that Bubble is a tribute to Freddy Mercury. It was great to finally see all the references to the movie the girls have inserted into Bubble MV. I think the greatest thing about that movie and about Bubble is that feeling of unity of the band, which is highlighted so strongly. In the same way as Queen was great when they were united, BAND-MAID feels the same way. Kanami seems to think about it a lot, maybe as a result of Queen movie and Bubble. In her interview in GIGS Magazine she says that BAND-MAID is the cause of her life, and even if she ever starts writing songs for other bands, or playing as a guest musician in other projects, BAND-MAID is forever central to her. And during her recent report on the European tour, she says she shared a room with Akane, and again she thought to herself, "What great people we are, getting along so easily, and being so friendly to each other!"
@@VladimirChupin I think of the music business as a corrosive acid on bands' personnel. And when I discovered Band-Maid they had been in the business for awhile. But what struck me about them was their cohesiveness. I saw an interview with the whole band and of course I don't understand Japanese but the personalities were just fascinating and enchanting. I couldn't tell how much was "put on" or real since they do have a great sense of humor. So when they started on Kamani's devotion to Saiki and how she appreciated Saiki tying her bow etc I thought she's just joshing but after watching more interviews performances and the music videos you begin to appreciate Kamani's earnestness about all things. I love how she jams with band members and how the others appreciate her attention. I have seen Saiki adjusting her head piece for her during a performance in one of your videos and it shows the affection for her. I also like how during her solo before Moratorium you gave us a view of Saiki just beaming at her. I also love how Kamani gets all up in the audience before she retreats back to Akane! Your Hamburg footage is just great even with the sixth member of the band blocking the view of Kobata & Misa. It's only Rock & Roll but I like it. Thanks again! czcams.com/video/YzWETTu-4iE/video.html
Beside my admiration for their personalities and musicianship I´m glad about the fact, that they don´t change their instruments after every second song. Look at the effect-boards on the floor and together with the technician at the PA they can create the sound which fits. Nice to see that they tune the instruments by themselves.
There was that guy, a musician... what's his name... Axe Japan! He said in his video about Kanami's guitar rig, that she has some pedals, which help her to retune her guitar on-the-fly, without the need to change it. Probably you refer to that video, right? czcams.com/video/YBhf-PUECtk/video.html
If you check the videos for their concerts in Japan which are on DVD you'll notice both Miku and Kanami change their guitars. The fact they don't on tour is more down to the fact they can only carry one guitar with them when flying ?
@@thomasrotweiler Yes, I also thought the same. Last year, Aeroflot has lost their luggage, when they were flying from Moscow to Helsinki, and Kanami had to run around the city musical shops in order to rent a PRS guitar. She said, they found only some very old vintage one for her, and she had to play it during the concert. No such luxury as changing guitars during a concert on tour...
Vlad, I happened to be at the show in Helsinki, but it took me a while B4 comprehending what Kanami was trying to explain in 'English 'why she had to play the vintage PRS found at a local shop in Helsinki instead of her own. And I'm a Japanese fan, lol. twitter.com/kanami_bandmaid/status/1063139053812547584?lang=en
This vid just makes me..... smile. Sure it's a phone cap, but the energy, the interplay between the band members, the interplay with the audience, Kanami just destroying it, the laughter, and the skill, oh the skill. I love this band so much, having a blast and rockin the joint to the ground. October, the Dallas show, I will experience this thrill. Yeah!!!!!!!!
This morning I was able to re-schedule my appointment for a US visa interview! I'll go to the Consulate this Tuesday! Initially, they have given me a slot on October 20, 2023 🤦♂ Yes, twenty-three! It seems somebody cancelled his or her appointment, and the slot was released. So, maybe I'll see you in Dallas, then! 🤘 I was so disappointed that I would not be able to see the girls in the first post-COVID US tour, but now, it seems, there is a good chance for that!
@@VladimirChupin That is awesome!!!! I'll be the older pot bellied dude in a headband and a Kanami shirt. If you see me, please introduce yourself to me. I'd love for me and my wife to meet you! See you in Dallas!
Brilliant video. I love all these incredibly talented ladies, but to get front seat to Kanami was a gift. Her composing is as good as it gets. Her riffs tell a story as much as the lyrics do. I love listening and watching the masters play, I get the same feeling when Kanami plays. And I never tire of how the band interacts with each other. Thank you for uploading. Cheers from an Aussie fan.
Can't tell you haw many times I've re-watched this video, 'Vladimir you have a masterpiece here, this is one of the most exciting performances ever, this makes a music video seem tame by comparison. I can't think of a band I want to see more live and that will happen in Dallas on Sept 28.
The complete folder is here: www.dropbox.com/sh/pvyotm4wfm8lp6f/AADF7smJHSYdYVsH5smKuJjea?dl=0 Just look at the time codes in the names, they are the same with CZcams videos. I still can't find time to rename the files in the folder to include the song name, sorry...
Yes, those smiles! 😁 a mile wide 💕 My heart throbbed each time I saw Saiki's smile here. She sheds off her Ice Queen persona, and you see her so vulnerable and so honest! She gets so sincerely happy when the crowd sings along!
Kanami was amazingly good that evening. I think the reason for that was that they have had a day of rest before Hamburg concert. Her fingers were just flying over the fretboard.
Yes, Kanami is amazing 😍 My favourite moment is Saiki's smile at 4:28 🥰 She looked at me and laughed as I was trying to jump and hold the phone steady at the same time 😂
Amazing vid.... thank you so much! Shows so much more than the girls playing... all the smiling and the interaction with each other, and Akane’s drum solo! Love it! The New York show cant come fast enough!
Absolutely fantastic! Never seen Band-Maid live, unfortunately, but this is the closest it gets. I feel I'm right there. And what a wonderful performance!
Thanks so much for uploading this Vladmir. For those of us who can't get to see Band Maid this year, it at least gives us a flavour of what Band Maid are bringing to the table. As I am a big Kanami fan, you were perfectly placed :-)
Since they will be in the U.S this fall. Can anyone reach out to the talk shows in NYC, or LA to see if they be invited to preform on TV. Get them more exposure they deserve.
They sound amazing. I feel like I'd rather find a small venue like this than a stage if they still do small shows. Being so up close and personal, I can't even imagine. Great job making it out to see them and thanks for the video! Makes quarantine life a bit better!
Yes, super intimate venue. And it felt awesome! BAND-MAID is so humble, they deliver it at the maximum possible energy, even if it's only a tiny club like this. They are amazing. They were literally at a hand's stretch. And Kanami almost jumped over the rail during her solo, right into the crowd 😍
The best live performance of wild and delicate by band-made regular members + sub-members (pillars). No matter how many years have passed Fans will be back in this video!

@@satocalbee8857 Thanks! It's already cold here in Moscow. This weekend, I was looking outside the window, and thought, should I take my usual bicycle ride. In the end, I couldn't force myself, and stayed inside. And Sunday was BAND-MAID online OKYU-JI, so... No outdoors activities, it was too nice and warm inside 😂
Vladimir, thank you , you are doing God's work. This band is the hope of rock and roll. I saw them live one time and it was life-changing. I imagine you have saved up enough points to live 500 years.

ただ見せるだけじゃなくてお客さんと一緒に楽しんで盛り上げていけるPLAYが出来るって凄い。これは本当に凄い事だと思います。
2014年頃のライブなど、やはり小さな箱から這い上がってきたバンドですよね。場の作り方と流れ、会場との一体感が凄い。
Kanamie just shreds that guitar -She is truly a Queen of Rock-as are all these ladies -They have earned my greatest respect
I loved how Akane was dancing and smiling in the background during Kanami's solo!
I'm glad they seemed to have so much fun! The stage was so tiny, it must have been hard moving around, on top of how hot it was in there. They still rocked our faces off with so much energy and joy :D
This is almost unreal they should be superstars and they are playing in small venues...This band deserves way more attention
Patience. The Maids won't quit driving towards the goal of World domination. And neither will we.
I would have loved to have been there. So cool
Amen and right on! They are that good!
超ワイルドにソロしても、みんなに頭ナデナデされちゃうのが、みんちょらしくて微笑ましいですね(^o^)

This band need to be world-wide famous. Its a crime almost nobody know them outside japan. A crime against the god of rock himself.
I could watch Kanami tear that PRS up for HOURS!! Mad respect for everyone else in the band, but as a guitarist, she speaks my language.
So right on
Spot on assessment of Kanami & her great skills but I'm a bass player & we can agree to disagree. I feel the same way regarding MISA.
@@johnmiezejewski81 So true. Misa is amazing, also, as is Akane on drums. Band Maid is an exceptionally talented group, for sure.

kanami intro, hype crowd, saiki jumping and the rest of the members hyping is the reason why i always watch this vid 'classic bandmaid'
Great intimate venue and great crowd also 👍 These girls fucking rock. I’m obviously late to the party but I guess I’m a fan for life now!
It is never too late to join a great party 👍
They took a promise from us that if they come to Germany again, we'll go to their concert. It means they WILL COME one day!
It has been a little more than a month since that glorious night in Hamburg and I keep coming back to this video almost on a daily basis... this is pure gold!!!
Me too :-)
Same to you...and with my obligatory pot of tea.
me too :D
Just wait 5 to 10 years and you'll realize just how lucky you were to be so close. AMAZING.
Kanami looks so happy.
She is a beautiful soul.
Same as Akane!
Gotta love her!
I watch this everyday. This is my favourite video.
The Band Maid supporter part of me wishes they could play much bigger venues to get more exposure. The selfish part of me is glad they still play venues like this sometimes. Even when they reach the level of recognition they deserve I hope they continue to do so. Besides, they truly seem to be having a blast.
They'll play in Summer Sonic this year but that is in Japan. They need to get exposed in a music festivals abroad like Download.
Ken100, I understand 100% what you meant. This clip reminded me again how much they appreciate and treasure the opportunities where they can perform in front of the real Goshujin-sama and Ojou-sama no matter of the space size or qualities of the facilities they are provided. I'm proud of them. They are real artists.
So agree. They deserve to be main stage at a festival.
It seems to be a garage but it is a well known institution in Hamburg for over 40 years. And because it is so tiny audience and musicians love it. It creates a privat atmosphere as you can see in the video. The audience is only one feet away from the stage and I feel blessed that I was part of it.

In Mansfield on July 11th at the Ohio State Reformatory. This festival drew 40,000 last year. And they appear on a Netflix production of Kate portraying themselves. That will further expose them to thousands more.
Kanami is on fire...best band around in 2022 .
On August 17th,I went to a concert in Osaka,Japan. I am convinced that they are the number1 hard rock band in the world.
We all wholeheartedly agree 🤘
I just love this band. It's that simple.
BM always blows me away but this set just blew away blown away. i’m not even sure this kind of enthusiasm is legal.
It's the proper substitute for the mind-altering drugs 😜 Therefore, it's not only legal, but must be promoted by the state 😎
I love when Kanami starts playing Santana, watch Akane's face priceless. I love these women.
That was unexpected for all of them. Watch Kanami's face just before that moment. She looks at Saiki, as if asking her, "What do you want, my beloved? I have something for you, you'll like it," and than says "Europa" with her guitar. Priceless.
This is so much fun to watch...they all seem to be having the time of their lives...great to see Kanami so up close and personal with a grin on her face a mile wide throughout. And of course Saiki playing the crowd like a marionette...so awesome. This has me extra pumped up for NYC in Sept. Thanks Vlad!!
Scream and shout and sing along! :-)
AKANE!!!KANAMI!!!AKANE!!!KANAMI!!!AKANE!!!KANAMI!!!
So right on. I love this band. Along with Love Bites, these two Japanese female bands are the best in the world, in my view.
Kanami ちゃん🍀
音楽の神様が降りてきてますね(*´艸｀*)
Incredible band. Awesome! To me, Band Maid and Love Bites are the most exciting bands in the world today. I'm a 70 year old Texas cowboy......Blessings from Texas!
I lived in Oklahoma so I'll forgive you for being from Texas. Seriously, gonna give you another band to check out...Aldious. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
@@johnmiezejewski81 Right on, John, Aldious is another great Japanese band, indeed. So is Love Bites, D Drive and the young trio, Asterism. All feature awesome young women on guitar. As one reviewer asked, "What do they feed these young female musicians in Japan?" To me, Japanese bands are the best in the entire world now. I despise rap, and hope the beautiful master musician ladies of Japan can indeed take over the music industry, world wide.
the BEST BAND ON EARTH!
True! 🤘
1000%
And a few other planets!!!
Its so amazing to see so much talent squeezed on the the tiny stage of a venue so divey there's a pillar in the middle of the stage. Yet these ladies take it in stride, rock like they're in a major stadium, sounding great and smiling the whole time.
Yes, I know--it's impressive that they just go out and do their stadium show vibe kicking major ass! It's beautiful how nothing phases them--they just conquer whatever is in front of them WHEREVER they are!! Same with their online shows these days.
Saiki has such a unique voice. Powerful yet soft.
She's my favorite singer. 😄
Kanami is so good at guitar. I'm legitimately jealous of her skill.
Dude. Sick video! I love being able to watch without all the cuts of the regular concert footage!
Yes, it was a wonderful night! 🤘 The whole show was amazing. It was hot like in a sauna, but BAND-MAID made us forget about the heat, they have filled us with energy from a different world!

I love this video and I love the comments here. Of course BAND-MAID. Everything is full of love.
Thank you very much Vladimir Chupin.
Glad that you've found it enjoyable :-) That was a memorable night indeed... Full of love and excitement.
The performance is one thing, it's f* AMAZING! But holy shit, you're standing soo close!! My god. This must have been such an intimate and good feeling concert :D Wish I had discovered B-M back then but only found them 3 days ago :'( Hoping to see them live once touring starts up again! Thank you for making me feel like I was there
Thanks for being with me at this show! 🤘
Yes, being so close to BAND-MAID at a concert is a life-changing experience. Their energy just flowed through me, changing me in some very profound way...
みんちょヤバすぎる！曲全部作ってこのプレイ凄すぎる
13:13 このモラトリウムはどのLIVEよりも最高だね。ここのKANAMIの表情なんて男が見ても女が見ても惚れるんじゃないかな。
"The adventures of Band Maid in the temple of the damned pillar .."
Bandmaid saves Indiana Jones lol
I often asked myself, when will Kanami quote her big idol and here she did !!! The song from which she played the first notes is called very meaningful "Europa".
She always says that she loves Santana.
These girls deserve to be in front of thousands and not on these small stages. Let's hope they get there. I will be in Dallas... but man... they deserve the main room at the House of Blues. It's a shame my U.S. brethern are too damn uptight about "it must be English" bullshit. As I try and tell people, you go listen to crap in English (or stay buried in the past). I'll enjoy something fresh, new, and frigging awesome.
I don't even know what the hell is being said in most English-language songs anyways! :)
In all honesty, it would be better not to understand the words in some songs. Even if the song sounds cool, the lyrics quite often are trivial, or downright stupid. Miku at least has a deep philosophical mind, and if you watch a BAND-MAID song with subtitles, you quite often get goosebumps...
@@VladimirChupin 'Daydreaming' is goosebump worthy.
lol hamburg logo is really small, its more a pub ^1
These little clubs won't last long... They are headed for world domination. That said, please come play the Troubadour in LA!!!
Perfect example of less is more...what Akane can do with a small kit is amazing. Proves you don't have to have a kit like Portnoy or Peart (R.I.P.) to be a great drummer. No disrespect to Portnoy or Peart, love them both. Also Kanami intro to Moratorium & riff at 13:11...doesn't get any better.
Or a kit which Senri Kawaguchi has 😊 Although she uses all those bells and whistles a lot.
But you are absolutely right. Akane is able to deliver an amazing product with that basic kit.
A journalist in the drum magazine asked her, whether she thought of using two bass drums. We know she tried, there's a photo of her behind that bigger kit, with two kick drums. But in that interview, she said that she will stay with a simpler kit for the time being:
- Your Tama Star Drum kit has a simple setting of one bass, two toms, and one floor for your aggressive style with full use of high-speed phrases of toms and a bass drum. Do you want to switch to a two-bass kit someday?
Akane: I’m often asked that, but I originally prefer a simple setting with one tom and one ride side by side, so I’m the type for a one-bass. I want to try a two-bass once, but I don’t think it matches my image. I love my current setting where I can see audience and I feel near the other members.
www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/fqeffl/interview_with_akane_on_rhythm_drums_magazine/
by the time I was 15 I had had seen more than a few monster kits from the big ROCK SHOWS (early 70's) then I saw Buddy Rich ....WOW! Akanes modest kit makes me smile.
She is so good that the drums shimmer! :p
@@dreadogastusf3548 yes they do
With that intro to Moratorium Kanami has finally come out of here shell. She grabbed that audience by the balls and said 'You are min'. I've never seen her so animated and in the moment. Kudos for a great intro.
Not only talented but funny girls. :D They are so much different on the stage than in the interviews.
Vlad you have outdone yourself! Thank you very much for posting all these from their European World Domination tour, excellent quality. I have a ticket to their Dallas show and intend to study these for reference;-) I appreciated your Misa vantage before but Kamani steals the show with her solo before Moratorium. I love how they all react to it. Beautiful women, great personalities, technical wizardry, tasteful music, and "service" uniforms Japan should declare them a national treasure. But what I really love about them is how they love one other & have fun!
While being in Hamburg, I stayed with my sister who lives there. The day after the show, we watched the Queen movie, and afterwards I've shown them the Bubble MV. I have never seen this Queen movie before, but I knew, of course, that Bubble is a tribute to Freddy Mercury. It was great to finally see all the references to the movie the girls have inserted into Bubble MV.
I think the greatest thing about that movie and about Bubble is that feeling of unity of the band, which is highlighted so strongly. In the same way as Queen was great when they were united, BAND-MAID feels the same way.
Kanami seems to think about it a lot, maybe as a result of Queen movie and Bubble. In her interview in GIGS Magazine she says that BAND-MAID is the cause of her life, and even if she ever starts writing songs for other bands, or playing as a guest musician in other projects, BAND-MAID is forever central to her.
And during her recent report on the European tour, she says she shared a room with Akane, and again she thought to herself, "What great people we are, getting along so easily, and being so friendly to each other!"
@@VladimirChupin I think of the music business as a corrosive acid on bands' personnel. And when I discovered Band-Maid they had been in the business for awhile. But what struck me about them was their cohesiveness. I saw an interview with the whole band and of course I don't understand Japanese but the personalities were just fascinating and enchanting. I couldn't tell how much was "put on" or real since they do have a great sense of humor. So when they started on Kamani's devotion to Saiki and how she appreciated Saiki tying her bow etc I thought she's just joshing but after watching more interviews performances and the music videos you begin to appreciate Kamani's earnestness about all things. I love how she jams with band members and how the others appreciate her attention. I have seen Saiki adjusting her head piece for her during a performance in one of your videos and it shows the affection for her. I also like how during her solo before Moratorium you gave us a view of Saiki just beaming at her. I also love how Kamani gets all up in the audience before she retreats back to Akane! Your Hamburg footage is just great even with the sixth member of the band blocking the view of Kobata & Misa.
It's only Rock & Roll but I like it. Thanks again!

Beside my admiration for their personalities and musicianship I´m glad about the fact, that they don´t change their instruments after every second song. Look at the effect-boards on the floor and together with the technician at the PA they can create the sound which fits. Nice to see that they tune the instruments by themselves.
There was that guy, a musician... what's his name... Axe Japan! He said in his video about Kanami's guitar rig, that she has some pedals, which help her to retune her guitar on-the-fly, without the need to change it. Probably you refer to that video, right? czcams.com/video/YBhf-PUECtk/video.html
If you check the videos for their concerts in Japan which are on DVD you'll notice both Miku and Kanami change their guitars. The fact they don't on tour is more down to the fact they can only carry one guitar with them when flying ?
@@thomasrotweiler Yes, I also thought the same. Last year, Aeroflot has lost their luggage, when they were flying from Moscow to Helsinki, and Kanami had to run around the city musical shops in order to rent a PRS guitar. She said, they found only some very old vintage one for her, and she had to play it during the concert. No such luxury as changing guitars during a concert on tour...
Vlad, I happened to be at the show in Helsinki, but it took me a while B4 comprehending what Kanami was trying to explain in 'English 'why she had to play the vintage PRS found at a local shop in Helsinki instead of her own. And I'm a Japanese fan, lol.

Man, someday I will see them live!!. Can't this year since their shows were already sold out in the US.
This vid just makes me..... smile. Sure it's a phone cap, but the energy, the interplay between the band members, the interplay with the audience, Kanami just destroying it, the laughter, and the skill, oh the skill. I love this band so much, having a blast and rockin the joint to the ground. October, the Dallas show, I will experience this thrill. Yeah!!!!!!!!
This morning I was able to re-schedule my appointment for a US visa interview! I'll go to the Consulate this Tuesday! Initially, they have given me a slot on October 20, 2023 🤦♂ Yes, twenty-three! It seems somebody cancelled his or her appointment, and the slot was released.
So, maybe I'll see you in Dallas, then! 🤘 I was so disappointed that I would not be able to see the girls in the first post-COVID US tour, but now, it seems, there is a good chance for that!
@@VladimirChupin I understand each word. but for the life of me, I can't understand what the hell you are saying.
@@edwardmcalister8743 Sorry 😱
I'll see you in Dallas, that was the message 😂
@@VladimirChupin That is awesome!!!! I'll be the older pot bellied dude in a headband and a Kanami shirt. If you see me, please introduce yourself to me. I'd love for me and my wife to meet you! See you in Dallas!
Saiki's smile is to die for.

Brilliant video. I love all these incredibly talented ladies, but to get front seat to Kanami was a gift. Her composing is as good as it gets. Her riffs tell a story as much as the lyrics do. I love listening and watching the masters play, I get the same feeling when Kanami plays. And I never tire of how the band interacts with each other.
Thank you for uploading. Cheers from an Aussie fan.

Can't tell you haw many times I've re-watched this video, 'Vladimir you have a masterpiece here, this is one of the most exciting performances ever, this makes a music video seem tame by comparison. I can't think of a band I want to see more live and that will happen in Dallas on Sept 28.

Every part of their game is fantastic! Love the vocals and I dont even understand the words!
Thanks Vladimir! You are the best!!
that guitar solo in the middle just kills. The singing sounds great.
My favourite Band-Maid video of all, perfection.
Can really see the band is having a blast! Look at Kanami and Saiki smiling like you'd never seen before! Saiki's vocal sounds awesome!!! 👌
Yes, those smiles! 😁 a mile wide 💕
My heart throbbed each time I saw Saiki's smile here. She sheds off her Ice Queen persona, and you see her so vulnerable and so honest! She gets so sincerely happy when the crowd sings along!
@@VladimirChupin 💘 😻 💜 I can feel how you feel!
Damn Kanami can shred!! Best guitar playing I've seen in a long time.
Kanami was amazingly good that evening. I think the reason for that was that they have had a day of rest before Hamburg concert. Her fingers were just flying over the fretboard.
4:18 I replay many times to see this very beautiful smile from Kanami
Yes, Kanami is amazing 😍
My favourite moment is Saiki's smile at 4:28 🥰 She looked at me and laughed as I was trying to jump and hold the phone steady at the same time 😂
Amazing vid.... thank you so much! Shows so much more than the girls playing... all the smiling and the interaction with each other, and Akane’s drum solo! Love it! The New York show cant come fast enough!

Yes, that's interesting that they use Romaji in Japan and katakana overseas. It is an educational approach, I guess 😉
Oh, Kanami's solo was *magic*. It's a special thing to be alive in the Band-Maid era.
These ladies should be owning the world.
Most of the people seem to be deaf on both ears...
They sound so incredible live!
Thanks so much for uploading this Vladmir. For those of us who can't get to see Band Maid this year, it at least gives us a flavour of what Band Maid are bringing to the table. As I am a big Kanami fan, you were perfectly placed :-)
#Bandmaid Kanamit's intro for Moratorium is simply pure classic rock brought fresh to the 21st century live!
And a quote from Santana, of course! 🤘

Since they will be in the U.S this fall. Can anyone reach out to the talk shows in NYC, or LA to see if they be invited to preform on TV. Get them more exposure they deserve.
Even better idea, how about we all reach out to talk shows and push the agenda. Recognize Band Maid and Japanese bands!
@@KazekuroIfrit l am in. Popular opinion would do it because if you hear Band-Maid you like Band-Maid. Kanami is getting better every day.
I agree
@@KazekuroIfrit NBC Programming. Send emails. That covers Colbert and SNL among others.
@@sacluvsBM You'll probably have to negotiate with BAND-MAID's management first. They have to insert it into their schedule.
They sound amazing. I feel like I'd rather find a small venue like this than a stage if they still do small shows. Being so up close and personal, I can't even imagine. Great job making it out to see them and thanks for the video! Makes quarantine life a bit better!
Yes, super intimate venue. And it felt awesome! BAND-MAID is so humble, they deliver it at the maximum possible energy, even if it's only a tiny club like this. They are amazing. They were literally at a hand's stretch. And Kanami almost jumped over the rail during her solo, right into the crowd 😍
