The sound fixes itself I promise! Had some issues at the beginning but it corrects out!
Nice Bando-Maid. Will you check out Nemophila - 'Dissension' next🤘🎌
I subscribed as soon as you said you were just listening to the beauty of the language and music instead of getting hung up on translations or wasting your life wondering why it doesn’t have more English. I added that last part, but I know you were thinking it.💪🏻🤘🏻

Other BAND-MAID songs, especially "Freedom" are recommended. All mysteries have been solved and you will find that it is probably the best hard rock band.
They have all kinds of rock songs.
Metal, punk, pop and other elements are played by their rock.
The girls of Band Maid are hardly upset or angry, I can assure you.
This is the happiest group of extremely talented goofballs on the planet. :)
These women in japan, Band Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila all started listening to classic rock, metal, hard rock while learning their instruments. So they play rock music. Lead guitarist, songwritet here Kanami, said Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Van Halen are inspirations.
Japanese Bands (especially the female ones) are the current and future top notch within Hard Rock and Metal. You can call Japan also the land of the rising riff!
Beside Lovebites and Band-Maid you will find Nemophila, Brats, Maximum the Hormone, Hagane, Bridear, Mary's Blood and many many many more. Therefore enjoy your Alice trip into Japanese rock. You wont regret it.
You have just discovered the best band in the world. Everyone of them is an amazing talent at the top of their game. Lead guitar - Kanami - writes all their songs and is a musical genius and a treasure.
203BPM of BAND-MAID. Now, on to the live performances you go. .....po. Angry? Never...this is one of the happiest bands on-stage and off-stage that I have ever seen.
Yep hence the reverse psychology of my "Freedom" link. I was going to leave "Domination" but the situation dictated otherwise ;)
Nice reaction. It is said that there are 8 million gods in Japan. I don't know if there is a "rock god" among them, but many fans who love Band-Maid believe that the "rock god" has immigrated from Western Europe to Japan.
It all started back in the day of SHOW-YA, Shonen Knife, Aphasia, and Princess Princess...moved on to Stereopony, SCANDAL, YUI...and now on to BAND-MAID and Lovebites.
Best rocking maids ever.
Listening to Band Maid = Happy no matter what
Welcome to band maid world..you should definitely check out their other songs
Welcome to the world (aka: Rabbit Hole) of Band Maid! You will become a MAIDIAC! You will learn soon enough that these ladies ROCK!
They are a very talented group. They are all well trained in various instruments.
There is not a bad song from BAND MAID - 7 Albums and many singles including this one - made for an anime show - to date.
Try BLOOMING - FREEDOM - YOLO - REAL EXISTANCE - you will see that they are not actually angry they are having a lot of fun!!!!
Angry? not at all! lol they laugh and smile all the time!
Imo the best hard rock band in the last 30-40 years or so!
Yes, Yes & Yes !!! The best rock band playing today. Beware their charm, you'll soon be a Maidiac !😎
Well that is Band Maid best band in the world great react. Long Live the PO!
Much love for the kind words Certified! Glad that you are here with me!
You might these 2 from the girls. Dice and Riine. Live . Domination 2020 and Freedom will seal the deal. Join the Lovebitten there is no going bacck now. These girls are the best live rock band on the planet.
Welcome down the rabbit hole.
I really appreciated your comment about useless translation and how you prefer to listen to the melody of the langage (japanese - with a few english words - here). I can totallt relate to that. Band-Maid is really a whole new world to discover, they have tons of really great songs in different genres (most often different musical genres IN THE SAME SONG actually). Welcome to the unseen world.
Thanks Doc Loco. Glad you are here with me. I TOTALLY believe that all languages have their own beauty. While it is one thing to understand them, it is a totally different thing to just be able to hear the beauty in the words without understanding them. Thank you for your welcome! I appreciate you
Live performances you must see... Domination, Freedom, Play, Onset. Ten anything else by them it's all good.
This is a great place for a first dip for this band. Soon you will be jumping in head first into the J-Rock scene just like the rest of us did, and you won't regret it. For harder material, try out Dissension by Nemophila. And definitely do more Band-Maid. The MV of Warning is great. There is so much real honest talent from Japan, and a lot of it all women bands, something very rare anywhere else (if it exists at all).
Welcome to Band-Maid , this song was commissioned for an Anime called Log Horizon , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! (aka) the Barefoot Bass Assassin , and the rest of the band is , Miku Kobato (aka) Small Pigeon , Red rose in hair (band founder worked at Maid café) Rhythm guitar 2nd vocals n lyrics , Kanami Tono Lead guitar / shredder writes n arranges music , Akane Hirose (aka) Gorilla on Drums , Saiki Atsumi (aka) Ice Queen Lead vocals, Fan base known as the Maidiac`s , you are correct you dont need to know the lyrics the music talks to you , try something live from there concert at the Line Cube Shibuya Feb 14th 2020 , songs Freedom , Play , Domination . enjoy .
Welcome to band maid world...watch band maid live....this band is crazy....
We will definitely be getting into some more Band Maid soon Mauro! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you for reacting to the best hard rock band in the world. 👍🏼
Bandmaid- Domination (Live)
Welcome to Band-Maid!!! 7 albums(8 if you count their alter-egos Band-Maiko)100+songs, 35 "official" mv's (and counting), and not a bad song in the bunch, seriously, all within 6-1/2 years!!! Their songs are a roller-coaster ride though different genres and emotions. Since you started with "Different", an exercise of controlled chaos, lol, I'm gonna switch gears and recommend something with a more classic blues feel, "Manners" or "Bubble", so you can see the versatility of these ladies. But if not, any of their live performances will not disappoint!👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Soba! Thank you so much for the information! I really appreciate it! Will definitely get some more added to the list!
Band Maid is NOT angry. They are very nice and cheerful people and a bunch of funny goofballs.
By the way, this song is the opening theme of an anime called "LOG Horizon - Destruction of the round table" airing right now in Japan.
The lyrics were written based a lot on the book that the anime was based on.
Best Hard Rock band on the planet - bar none. Enjoy! UK prog rock dude :)
That made me laugh so hard! Great reaction... "I wanna get off this chair and punch the wall". That was hilarious! Thumbs up for that.... I my book they are the pinnacle of rockmusic right now.
They are together since a long time, have an great chemistry, are friends with each other, writing their own songs and LIVE they are even better, they are a FORCE live. And the songwriting is out of this world the lead guitar (Kanami) is mainly writing the songs and there are so much influences: Rock, Metal, Pop, Punk, Blues, Jazz, Funk and sometimes they melt 3-4 genres into one song and it still sounds incredible! Lyrics are also very well thought out and written by Miku (founder, back vocals and rhythm guitar). They are the best band i discovered ever, for a long time i said the last 10-15 years, but i realized they are having this throne now, it´s a long time ago i was into an band like that, but they deserve it. Also really great ladies with heart and soul, nothing is fake.
Greetings from Germany
Band Maid awake you potencial in live shows =)
the best statement "we don't need the translate" yes totally agree,
a song is made to be listened and enjoyed, you like it you keep it, you don't like it you live it,
that's all the matters,
now if you like band-maid then go and play all their song from their official youtube channel,
you'l be stunning i guaranteed
Thank you Anriy. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment! We will definitely be doing more soon!
Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID. Best live rock band out today!! BAND-MAID combines rock, metal, punk, pop, jazz and progressive into a sound all their own.

BAND-MAID is legit good. This song in particular is just an in-your-face, full throttle, speed rock, from beginning to end. They are very talented and been rocking since 2013. You need to check out their live performances. They also have an album they released this year and a few songs from it with MVs that are worth checking out, like "Warning!" and "Manners". Thanks for the reaction.
Best rock band on the planet! You can't go wrong with anything from their official channel although "Different" is one of their more metal tracks and done for an anime opening. Like your attitude towards the translations because not everything is going to translate perfectly. I care for them more on subsequent listens to see how much English was actually in the song then I realized and admire the amazing messages and words that Miku manages to write.
Best band in the world!
Welcome to the world of Band Maid! Best band to come around in decades and 30 days from now you will agree, if it takes that long. 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

Thank you for Reaction BAND MAID. BAND MAID is a 5-member girls rock band. They are hard rock band and are now considered by fans to be one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually perform 23 songs and 2 hours live. They were formed in Japan in 2013 by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Kobato had experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara Tokyo and had the idea of playing cool songs with a maid costume. That's why the band was named Band-Maid. "Thrill" was their first music video in 2014, played 2 million times in two weeks and saved them from breaking up. At that time they were just around 19-22 years old. And then they have been doing LIVE overseas and increasing their fans. Now they are writing, composing and arranging all the songs. 35 songs have been released on their official CZcams, all of which are killer songs.
★ The new song "Different" released in December last year has become the theme song for the anime "Log Horizon 3rd Season".
★ They released a new album 14 songs "Unseen World" in January 20 .
★ They released their latest music video "about Us" on February 19th.
★ On May 26th, they will release a DVD / Blu-ray of remastered online live 28 songs on February 11th + 5 other live songs.

Thank you for the welcome! I appreciate you BM 4-Life! We will definitely be continuing down the rabbit hole soon! I appreciate all of the information! I love INFO!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single BAND-MAID song.
Just a quick clarification -- BAND-MAID are a hard rock band, first and foremost. They do, however, wander into quite a few *different* genres, sometimes within the same song. Bon voyage, traveler!
All I'll say is that they're even better live. Find some of the live videos. This was actually written specifically for a Japanese anime show called Log Horizon (I think).
They are not angry. This was composed for the theme to Japanese tv programme. Listen to this then their acoustic tracks and their hymn to their fans 'About Us'. These are supremely talented musicians capable of just about anything.
Okay, mate. The clue was in the title of the song. This is a tricky one to start with. At least you can take that same clue for some other songs 'Warning', 'Play', 'Daydreaming', and if you feel ready 'Black Hole'. In truth, they have range, and a catalogue to back it up. Enjoy the ride.
I recommend Dice MV for the next one. That's my "I just robbed a bank" song. And gotta love a song that starts with a bass solo. Also check out their live vids.
Your opening thoughts about listening to the music and the language for me is spot on. You don't need to know what they are saying.....as long as you enjoy the AWESOMENESS!!
Holding the line in solid Guitar Rock, Band Maid has picked up the Mantle of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!
The best Rock'n'Roll Band on the Planet Today!!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
welcome the pigeon hole dude this band is absolutely out of this world everyone who reacts well be surprised... this band has range of metal/hard rock to ballad pop rock....it has groove all of them are talented , this band was created by dream who wants to create a band and make cool music....they are underrated , im glad to see new one to react you are not wrong to choose to react.. hope you react more
Thanks Ideal Do! i appreciate you! More coming very soon!
Love this band! My favorite hard rock band.
Weird just yesterday i predicted you would discover Band-Maid and i subbed on that assumption ;) welcome aboard. I knew you were gonna like them, but you aint seen nuthin yet :P so much talent, so many musical styles and ideas flow through Band-Maid that it's easy to forget that 1) they are all Japanese
2) they are all women
3) they wear maid costumes
4) they sing mostly in Japanese with English sprinkled throughout(mostly in chorus)
5) they are the most adorable girls when not blowing your mind with awesome rock riff's, bass runs and double bass kicks.
First MV is "Thrill" the song that many of us first heard years ago and instantly fell in love with them.
"Alone" MV from 2016 is the first song written by Kanami and Band-Maid accepted by the record label and after that 99% of song were written by Kanami and Band-Maid.
Live are where the band really shine!
Best hard rock band on the planet Band-Maid
Best power/thrash/metal band Lovebites
Best up n coming metal band Nemophila
Great job. Well, welcome to the world of Band Maid, a place with no way back. You are gonna be flooded with information (the fans are craving to spread the word!) but I think that it can be resumed in three points: the band plays rock music (any style, but mostly Hard Rock), they are even better live and you cannot go wrong because they don´t have bad songs (seriously, it is something worth studying). Enjoy the ride!
Great reaction! This is the next recommendation.

WELCOME TO THE BAND-MAID WORMHOLE. I started getting serious about working out / running / HIIT after listening to them. I just needed a way to channel that energy I got from listening to them. Glad you found them my friend. Look for ONSET (Live) and frankly any of their live performances.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Irwin! I appreciate the recommendation!
I'm surprised you didn't know this band before. It has already been welcomed by rock fans outside Japan for five years with surprise. Japan is now the mecca of rock music. Especially in women's bands, rock of all genres lives in Japan. Listen to Japanese rock bands recommended by many people. Your choices are yours, but you will never disappoint.
lol this song, what a way to get introduced to _Band Maid_
Someone told me afterward that this may be their angriest song! Is that the case?
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts It's a commissioned *_Anime_* theme song, hence the speed, chaos and intensity. It's probably one of their their fastest tracks.They also have heavier slower songs. _Band Maid_ is an eclectic mix of metal/rock/blues/punk/pop/funk etc, but always with that hard rock base, which makes them so interesting.
You started with Different!?!?! WOW Brave soul!
Let me add that they produce some of the most fantastic music today. Enjoy the ride.
Band Maid is making hard rock great again! Five Japanese ladies that will rock your world! Off the charts talent in every member! I feel music transcends language, the voice is just another instrument imho, and these ladies just kill it, every time! From their first mv, Thrill, to their latest, Afterlife, they are all great, no weaknesses. Manners, Warning are two other new videos from Band Maid you will love!
Ahh, the Maids and their Battle Suits ;) You will love them!
Check out Band Maid's "Warning!"
Band Maid represents the best of hard rock at the moment. Any type of song they choose to do is a sonic treat with many nuances. It takes a few listens to appreciate the depth and ability of these ladies and they really excel in live performances. Play (live) and Domination (Live) are good starting points. Enjoy the journey my friend!
THE best live Rock band on Earth. Try a live performance to really see their musical ability and the sheer joy they impart to the audience. Best Rock band I've seen since Led Zeppelin (though that was in 1979!) and Zep's guitarist, Jimmy Page, thinks so too as he went backstage to get a selfie with the drummer a few years ago and told them all how excellent they were. Just for a moment, forget they're all female and forget they're dressed as maids. Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained pianists and musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now. OK, now that's explained, you can go back and marvel at how cute those outfits look and how incredibly beautiful all the band members are. The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal (GOTTA CHECK OUT BABYMETAL IF YOU WANNA SEE ENERGETIC JAPANESE METAL) . Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the DVD they released in April. FREEDOM: czcams.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/video.html , PLAY: czcams.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/video.html , CHOOSE ME: czcams.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/video.html , DOMINATION: czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html and WONDERLAND: czcams.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/video.html , though they have superb music videos too and so maybe have a look at their first one, THRILL: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html .
I saw Zappa live in 1975, I think it was. A great concert. Felix Pappalardi is a MISA-level (she's my standard now) bassist. Wish I would have kept that ticket stub, along with many others.
@@johnmatthew102 Saw him 3 years later at Knebworth, UK, but he wasn't too happy with second billing as The Tubes headlined! Saw Zeppelin the following year. I tend to rate other musicians in comparison to the drums, bass and guitar of Bandmaid. They're a high standard.
My love of Zeppelin would have considered this a blasphemous statement... but I agree. I’m obsessed with everything Band-Maid does.
Totally right about the language, absolutely no need to understand the lyrics with this band, You get all the emotions from the brilliance of their songwriting and delivery. A band that has made me cry more than once. Saiki is one of my all time favourite rock vocalists despite barely understanding a word. They tend to look serious in MV's but live they are the happiest band in the world.
These lassies are just fire. Whenever you need an energy boost or have a bad day, just crank up some Maid songs
First time listen to Band-Maid? Oh, there's a lot more stuff you can listen to. Be happy! :-)
Welcome to the land of the maids! The one thing this band doesn't really do much if at all is "anger" - and in fact that's why so many of us have gladly fallen down the rabbit hole. They tend to plaster a big grin on your face whether you want it or not. Don't get me wrong, they can go as fast and as hard as anybody (as you saw), but this song was actually picked up as an anime intro and is not IMO "representative" (no one song is representative of this band because they can and do flush the idea of "genre" right down the drain. You need to listen to at least 4 or 5 until you even begin to have an idea of what they are capable of. They do metal-ish hard and fast songs, classic power ballads, classic hard rock, modern hard rock, beautiful ballads, crazy wild fast stuff like this, and sometimes several of these in the same song. They are ASTOUNDING and extremely addicting (which you can do doubt tell from all of the comments). They are also best LIVE, and they write their material with live shows in mind. If I were to plot your journey, I'd tell you to go forward in this order, but honestly there is no right or wrong order because everything they do is awesome.
Next: Real Existence Live version from 2018 (all of these are on their YT channel)
2nd: Domination Live, Feb 2020
3rd: Rinne or Warning MV's (because you seem to like fast and hard)
4th: Daydreaming (a classic rock power ballad, because by now your heart will be starting to pound from the speed, and it has a crazy good guitar solo)
5th: Manners - my favorite song off of their new album - medium tempo hard rock with a massively hard groove
5th and onward - anything - and I mean anything off of their channel
When you've fallen completely for these ladies (could happen very soon I'm warning you) - you can then visit "About Us" - a full on beautiful ballad that describes the anguish of both them and their fans at being separated during covid - and don't forget to turn on subtitles - for this one you should - although I TOTALLY agree with your statement about not trying to read the lyrics, as I prefer to think of the vocals as just another instrument until I learn the song and there is always a lot of interesting stuff going on.
Okay, I'll shut up now - welcome to the best and MOST FUN band in the world.
A boring explanation for why there are so many good musicians in Japan is the fact is the second largest music market in the world in terms of retail value. It is about half the size of the US, and twice the size of the third largest which is either Germany or the UK.
Actually, this song IS a bit "diffent" in Band-Maid's catalogue. Sure there's lots of elements you'll find from other dongs too. But this was made to be an anime theme. They are absolutely fabulous in what they do.
You don't need English translations, BUT, Miku, the one who writes most of the lyrics, is considered a genius poet in Japan, not only for her Japanese lyrics, but for the way she weaves in English lyrics into her songs to provide the missing 'consonant syllable endings' (something the Japanese language is missing .. almost every syllable in Japanese ends with a vowel sound) while keeping the feel/poetry intact.
But, even if you ignore the translation you will find that Band-Maid puts a strong priority on great melodies and layered arrangements .. you're not going to hear a verse or chorus repeated in the same way in any of their songs ... there is always something changing while still keeping the feel of the same, but with some new twist to keep you interested.
I don't know of any Bass or Drummer that play more tastefully than the girls in this band, and the lead guitarist beyond never playing a note that isn't stunning is a musical arrangement genius!
100 plus songs in their catalog and while great and energetic this is actually one of the more 'restricted' songs since they wrote it for an Anime, so they concentrated more on the 'anime pacing' and singing ... watch some of their official live videos and be prepared to be truly impressed!
David! Thanks for the info! I appreciate you being here and taking the time to drop some knowledge on me. Much love my man.
Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994 27 years old
MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992 28 years old
Kanami Tono - Lead guitar Composer and main arranger Born Sept 28, 1991 29 years old
Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991 29 years old
Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990 30 years old
Miku envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, who recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Then they collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual solo.
Next, you have to listen to them live. They are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio.

Two words I'd never expect anyone to ascribe to Band-Maid: "Upset" "Angry" ... Band-Maid likes to experiment. They'll take a genre that they don't typically do, knock it out of the park, and then sort of wink and say, "But that's not us." Watch the live version of Freedom, and try thinking of them as upset or angry. ;-)
ahh ... the ONE song where saying "sonuds like the intro to an anime" would be completely warranted :) Welcome to the rabbithole.
Yeah man! My favorite band now, listen to all of it, you will dig it.
Welcome home! Check out their official live videos next!
These girls made me smile the full song.
MISA!!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!! 🥃🥃🥃 Badass Bass Assassin. The best Hard Rock band in the world right now. Their MV's are very good but their Live videos are 10 times better. 1 song down and 100+ to go. Welcome to the B-M 🐇🕳
Ooh i see someone was raising a toast to your MISA!!!! on another channel. I'm on my 3rd coffee :)
Thanks Curtis! I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts 🤙🏼
Nice reaction! 🤟🤟🤟
Thank you!! 😁 I appreciate you being here!
You had no idea Japan was rocking out like this? Common reaction! But:
Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female or (in four cases, mixed, female-led) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands. It's mostly alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands.
Show-Ya (1981 The original female J-metal band, founded before Metallica-this is from their 30th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring): czcams.com/video/oJ_5Gv3vFjQ/video.html

Wagakki Band (Folk-Metal fusion band, all jedi-level musicians, half of them play traditional Japanese instruments and the other half play standard metal instruments) This song was originally written for a virtual (AI) singer, referred to as a Vocaloid:
czcams.com/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/video.html
There are many more (others that come to mind are BRATS, Stereopony, Scandal, the Lisa-X Group, Hagane etc. And of course, there are the female-fronted Kawaii-metal groups like Babymetal, Ladybaby and Ironbunny, to name the three best-known.
Thanks for the great list. I would add the band "Noodles". I love their indie relaxed rock sound. You should sometimes rest your ears from the sound of these rock and metal goddesses. 30 years on the scene is to be respected.
@@bane8896 will check them out.
🔥😱
Why does Japan have so many pissed off and rocking hard musicians? One word: GODZILLA!!!!
Comment Level: EPIC!
I think it's a counter movement to all the pop idol bands that exist in Japan.
The girls don't want to be seen as dance dolls anymore and prefer to kick ass.
@@Medley3000 There was a Jpop group called "ZONE" back in 2001 that started just like that.
@@Medley3000 I mean, all-female rock and metal bands have existed for decades in Japan.
Dude as long as you're in Japan check out a group called Ningen Isu. They have been called the Japanese Black Sabbath. Everyone usually react to their song hHeartless Scat.
Band Maid.. you did.
Lovebites.. you did.
Mary's Blood.. to do.
Unlucky Morpheus.. to do.
Nemophila.. to do.
Ningen Isu.. to do.
Asterism.. to do.
Baby Metal.. to do.
You can choiose ANY song (but search for LIVE versións.. )
All this are some of the BEST bands of metal and rock from japan.
Mark their names in your route book.
Thanks for the recommendations sondebueu!
Dude, you have found Band-Maid, and Lovebites.
The assimilation is pretty much complete.We can round it up with some Unlucky Morpheus, try Black Pentagram.
Great reaction to a great band! I can't wait to see you react to their live vids! BAND-MAID is a whole other level live. Hard to believe, I know, but, anyway :P
Thanx for your stuff m8, subscribed.
Cheers from Australia!
Thanks HC!
"Different" was done for season 3 of the Anime Log Horizon. "Freedom" will show you just how unhappy BAND-MAID can be. czcams.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/video.html
They definitely seemed a little Vicious. But In a totally good way!
💯🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Angry and BAND-MAID are a contradiction in terms.
@@ShikataGaNai100 If there was a meter that measured happiness you couldn't get it within 5 miles of B-M before it passed 100 & exploded :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 B-M is a nuclear fusion 💥 of happiness 🙂
Want to get really crazy? Check out Maximum The Hormone. They have been a major influence on the Japanese metal scene for twenty years.
Akane's drum idol is Nao Kawakita of MTH.
also try doll$boxx, nemophila, trident, unlucky morpheus, and a lot more bro thanks for watching
Some Japanese bands. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINAR [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], LYNCH [Devil], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], JUPITER [My Enemy], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Dissension], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], and many many more...
How could you possibly leave out the #1 J-Girl band, SCANDAL? :-)
It's more hard rock than metal.
Maid in Japan
I enjoyed your reaction again. You are doing a great job of diving into these Japanese bands. For something new, try the band Nemophila and their song "Oiran." Then look at Mary's Blood's song "Marionette" to see Saki, one of the greatest shredders out there these days (I would recommend the official music video for that. There are some live versions, but the sound quality and Saki's solos aren't as good as the OMV). Saki plays guitar in both of those bands.
Thanks for being here to check it out with me Rick. I appreciate the kind words and will definitely add those recommendations to the list Sir! Much love!
If you like these hardcore woman from japan. Better react to nemophila with there song dissencion.
Will do Jay! Thanks for the recommend!
Hello there!
Die hard Band Maid here from Asia!
Please react to "No God" for epic bass, "Without Holding Back" for amazing instrumental, "Black Hole" for super fast pace drumming and "I Still Seek Revenge" my favorite ❤️
You will not get a copyright strike for sure so don't worry about it.
I sub to you and thank you 🙏
🤘😎🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯👍❤️🇯🇵
As I said reacting to just about everything I like 😃thank you ✌🏻
I'll try to keep it up Elena!
Now React to BAND MAID - WARNING !!! :D you will thank me later ! Warning is a song from their last Album recently released and like the entire album it's FREACKING FIRE !!!!
The arts are still important and taught in their schools. Talent is identified early and encouraged at an early age. Kanami (lead guitar, primary composer) started piano lessons at 3 yo. MISA (bass) and Akane (drums) attended the Tokyo School of Music that is for training musicians for the music industry. There 100's of all female bands in Japan right now and 100's of clubs for them to play in. Some clubs are fully equipped so that bands only need to bring their instrument to perform.
No matter how good you think you play a musical instrument, there is a Japanese lady who plays it better. (paraphrased/stolen)
theres a lot more bro try the live ones too you will dig for more
Next please reaction trident/girls rock band kakumei - voltage
