Yes they definitely played this song during their tour. I believe it was almost every show but just heard today that they left it off at the end of the tour as Kanami (lead guitar) was feeling a little "anemic" - and obviously this would be a drain on anyone to play. In San Diego it was toward the middle of the show and as great as the other tracks were, this one made the hair stand up on your body. It was just incredible and yes I do believe it's a song born and bred to be an opener. The ladies will always include a surprise for you - or go the extra mile in some way, sometimes in the background so you won't even notice it until you've listened to a song a lot. Other instrumentals include Onset (an earlier one), Without Holding Back (definitely check this one out) and Don't Be Long. That said, they've made instrumental versions of many of their songs that are so dense you can't even pick out everything that's happening until you hear the instrumental. Often they're included as videos in upgraded versions of albums. Giovanni is one of them and that song is crazy awesome with or without vocals. One more thing - for their album Unseen World you can buy the actual score to the whole album, and it comes with a wholly instrumental version of THE WHOLE ALBUM!!! This f'ing band!
Yes. everything you said.
They used From Now On as the opener during their shorter, festival sets. For their normal one-man shows, they played it in the middle of the show during the set designed to give Saiki a vocal rest (instrumental, Miku led song, Omajinai time). I caught them at San Diego as well. It sounded awesome live.
I was fortunate enough to see them perform this from 5 feet away it was Heaven the whole show was a ripper!
Jealous!
Yup, VIP tickets to DC was worth every penny and more.
They opened with this song on some short set list festivals or opening act for Guns’n’ Roses show.
Also used this song in middle of US/Japan tour shows to let the singer have a rest.
BAND-MAID also have other instrumental songs: e.g. “onset” (MV available on official channel), “Without holding back”, “Don’t be long” and some more
They played this at most of the venues for this past year's US Tour. They also used it as the opening number of their pre-US concerts in Japan and I believe as well when they opened for GnR when they got back home from the US tour. Awsome instrumental!
These ladies are amazing I was lucky enough to see them live on there us tour and they did onset absolutely amazing live
They did a US tour this fall and I believe they played this a couple times than. I know they played Miku's songs to give Saiki a break. Check out their Band-Maiko album. It's an outlier and to me it's some beautiful music because they've rearranged a few of the rock songs to include traditional Japanese instruments. I really like Tora and Tora. In that album they've also included songs that were specifically written for that kind of traditional thing.
Sounds awesome! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@PrymalChaos I love Japanese metal it is very creative. Vocaloid is the most creative. Have you heard any Vocaloid? This is The Fox's Wedding by Masa feat Hatsune Miku. czcams.com/video/QqfFieDY14E/video.html It's heavier than 99 percent of metal. Subtitles in CC. Vocaloid has every genre of music. Nearly.
@@PrymalChaos Most of the Band-Maiko songs are rearrangements/reimaginings of earlier songs. While they're all wonderful in their own right, there's only one song that was specifically written for the project - "Gion-Cho." It. Is. Exquisite. One of my very favourites of theirs.
They played this on every show outside of their last show in Chicago.
They did a 14 show US tour in October and played "From Now On" in all but the last concert on November first. As you might imagine, "From Now On" is a strenuous piece, requiring total concentration, and even in the video you can tell that Kanami is fully involved. Heck! I have to remind myself to breathe while watching it! I watched a lot of the "Fan Cam" footage of the tour and Kanami went to her amp stack to rehydrate whenever Misa did her bass solo. It is being reported that Kanami was exhausted by the end of the tour. But then, so were Miku, Misa, Saiki, and Akane. Think about it: the first "big" tour in two and a half years (couldn't play due to lockdown) and to limit viral exposure they compress 14 concerts into one month. Play, travel, play,... no rest and their shows are pure energy start to finish. None of the shows disappointed despite being worn out by the end. At the last show in Chicago, Akane was wiping tears of joy from her eyes as they finished "Endless Story" and afterwards most of them were in tears backstage during their "group hug" photo op.
👏👏👏👏👏🤘
Actually, they said they felt great at the end of the tour because they had that amazing double decker tour bus that they apparently loved and allowed them to sleep, eat and relax as much as they wanted.
They all really have come a long way in being free in how they play and what they add to each song. Masterful composition by Kanami and everyone else adding their own styles to their parts. A great piece of music and great band at their best.
Band-Maid is special. I have listened to many bands Japanese or not, and I can confidently say, Band-Maid has totally distinctive, unique sound. I'm so grateful that I've discovered them during lockdown which I'm sure the same happened to hundred-thousand people across the world.
BAND-MAID has a few instrumental songs such as Onset, Don't be long and Without holding back. All are fantastic and Onset has a great official live video 😊
I remembered after posting this, that I have already reacted to Onset! That was awesome too!
@@PrymalChaos
At the DC show Onset was followed by From Now On.
My jaw was on the floor.
If anything it was better live.
They are a genre of thier own! So much creativity and diversity from song to song, I'm Totally obsessed. So obsessed I went to every US show including Aftershock and am heading to Japan in a few days for Tokyo Garden show.
They opened with this at festivals when they were only playing a handful of songs, but in the US tour one man's, it was in the middle along with Onset instrumental and MC section/Omaginaitime.
Kanami's PRS is singing away with Misa's Black Cloud 🎼🎶🎵🎸
Kanami is using an Eventide H9 harmoniser on her guitar. Band-Maid have a few instrumentals (check out "Onset" live official video). Often they play them midset to give Saiki's voice a break (along with a Miku vocal song and her famous 'Magic Time' MC). They often play for two hours, no support bands, no encores.
I saw them in Dallas TX and they played this one #8, followed by two Miku-sung songs ("Rock in Me" and "Sayonakidori") and an MC break (where the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to Miku). That gave Saiki a break of about 15 or 20 minutes. They opened their set at Aftershock with it, and it certainly drew in the bystanders.
Wish I could have seen it.
I saw them play in Boston in October. They played it mid way through the concert, during the time they give Saiki a break. This song really hits hard when it's played live. Absolutely fabulous writing! Band-Maid are masters at building the momentum, then droipping it off to give you a rest, then blowing your doors off again prior to finishing the song. You really need to see them live. They are so much better!
One of those tracks that just gets better every time you hear it. Totally awesome !!!
Couldn't agree more!
It's obvious these women have invested many hours perfecting their skills and have hit pay dirt. This is the most uniquely powerful metal group to have hit today's market. For rockers there's nothing not to like. From their trademark cute costumes to the strictly business attitudes that take control after the first chord is struck, Band-Maid lets their audience know it's gonna be one helluva ride.
seeing this song performed Live was a highlight of 2022 for me, I got to see them do it 2 times and each time it was next level awesome. Onset is another great live instrumental you should check out.
Saw it live in Seattle. Played in the middle of the Set. It was amazing.
So cool!
😁
they have been using this in large Music festivals to open the show.. both at Aftershock and for the Guns and Roses show in Japan...it was also in about 2/3 of the US shows as part of the break for Saiki ...
"where kind of the benchmark of Rock'n'Roll is currently"....
That's pretty much the sentiment Marty Friedman had when he quit Megadeth and moved to Japan in 2003, and I still affirm that Band Maid is holding the line in Solid Guitar Rock and has picked up the Mantel of Rock'n'Roll where the West has left it behind!
More Band Maid Always!!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Band-Maid did open with this song october 2022 on Aftershock festival in the USA1
Great video. You are correct, they use an instrumental song to give Saiki a break, they also throw in a song by Miku and Miku's "magic spell time" for additional breaks. On shorter sets, like music festivals, they may open with an instrumental. On the US tour, they played this song at least a dozen times.
Epic MV but really epic live. I was privileged to see it twice close up.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛 and happy new year! I witnessed this song performed live flawlessly in B-M's pre-US concert in Tokyo and dropped my jaw 😲. I believe so did many of American audience at 12 venues. As you said, this instrumental piece has been also played in the middle of the setlist to give Saiki some break. Most of the audience at B-M's one-man (or one-person) concerts had, of course, already known their skills and talents. They played this song, however, as opening at three festivals (Download Japan / Summer Sonic, Japan and Aftershock, USA) and in Guns N' Roses concert in Japan as support to the legendary band. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to the audience who knew nothing about the girls in maid outfit on the stage. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!" 😄
Lade happy new year greetings from Hamburg my friend! Stay Safe in Halsey!😂
The cc said "it punches you right in the DECK", censorship?🤘🤣🤘
From Now On was actually the opening song for their entire US Tour when they led off with it at Aftershock! They opened the SF show with Sense, both INCREDIBLE shows!!
Thanks again!🤘🤩🤘
🤣🤣🤣 I forgot I said that. I usually try to keep my reactions family friendly. So I guess the CCs we’re doing me a solid.
They are playing in Japan on n Jan 9th for the start of their 10th anniversary but are Also live streaming the show. I highly recommend spending the money to watch it. I made the trek from Brisbane just to see this show it will be wild
As many have mentioned they played this at almost every serving since they returned to touring last summer. On January 9th they'll be playing at Tokyo Garden Theater, I'm certain they will play "From Now On". Note to someone living in a nearby timezone... the serving will be livestreamed. Avail yourself! Thanks for the reaction!
I saw them in October at the DC show, they played this one in the middle along with Onset... they played them both fantastically, it was sooo cool! They have quite a few instruments that you should check out, here is a few: Onset, Don't be long and Without holding back.
What I love most about this track is the overall composition... These young ladies really know how to compose.
Beethoven would be a fan.
Band Maid has resurrected my love for rock music. Single handedly. And yes Band Maid do Band Maid songs. Onset is your next BM instrumental po. It's awesome.
They have 4 or 5 instrumentals over the years. Their first instrumental was only for use in their live shows. "Onset" did not have an MV and was originally not included on any album. Then an official live version was released on their CZcams. It became so popular... let's just say they decided to start making MV's of their instrumentals after that. Instrumentals also include "Without Holding Back" and "Don't be Long". Then there's the song "Play". It was originally slated and performed as an instrumental, but Saiki (lead singer) enjoyed it so much she convinced Miku (rhythm guitar/backing vocals) to add words for her to sing... so it became the song "Play"
Thanks for the info!
"Onset" was on the bonus DVD with the "Conqueror" deluxe version.
During the US tour they did this about halfway through the show but sometimes opened with it as well their set seemed to differ ever so slightly depending on the venue and tone
They have been leading a lot of concerts with this one :) But they also always have a half time instrumental to give the singer a break- it used to usually be onset but they have several other great insutrmentals- im guessing this track will also sometimes be used there instead of at the start.
they played this at 6 of the 8 usa gigs, and at the opening of their gnr gig too.
Another heavy one of theirs to check out is "Rinne". That shows off some speed for sure.
Band Maid, Trident, Rolling Quartz, Lovebites and Nimophila. The Warning are 3 sisters from Mexico that absolutely crushes as well. Female rock and metal bands are leading the way.
I have done reactions to Lovebites, Nemophila, and The Warning. (Man! I’ve been doing this longer than I thought! 🤣🤣) if you search PrymalChaos and then the band name you’ll find them.
Thanks for watching!
Had the privilege of hearing this live in DC. Paired with Onset it was amazing. Usually played mid set before Miku's Magic Time MC
I believe that Band-Maid played this song at all of their US shows. In a few shows they played this song and their instrumental called Onset back to back. They would also play at least one song with Miku as the sole vocalist. These songs would be mid-set to give Saiki a 2 or 3 song break. I saw Band-Maid in Dallas where they played this song (it was fantastic) and, because it was her birthday, two Miku songs - Rock In Me and Sayonakidori.
It has been a long while since you have experienced Lovebites. They have a new bassist, Fami, and have released a new single called Judgment Day from their upcoming album of the same name. The new album is less than two months away. Judgment Day - czcams.com/video/m3uGjp-P7DI/video.html
Great to see you watch this one. Top 5 Band-Maid song for me. They have three other instrumentals: onset, Don't be long, Without Holding Back. There's also Memories of Wind and Wine, but that's a cover they were invited to do. They are all fantastic and there's an official live version of onset.
You asked whether they play this live. They have used it as a opener several times, including at the Aftershock festival and when they supported Guns N Roses. Whether as an opener or not, they played it every show except one on their recent US tour. Apparently the exception was because Kanami was afraid she'd collapse if they did it (here I'm repeating a translation of an interview that isn't online and I haven't seen, but I trust the source).
Sometimes Band Maid gets symphonic and puts a soundtrack to your life. They could be hired in Hollywood to score for some thriller, noir or drama... and they would nail it, of course.
Their lead vocalist Saiki has had surgery in the past (I read for polyps) because of straining her voice too much and playing too many shows (they cracked 100 shows in 2016). I believe the surgery was in 2017 or 2018. So they have been using instrumentals and Miku-lead songs to give her voice a rest for a while (some fans call it unceremoniously a "pee-break"). They typically also do the longest Miku MC around that time (they actually do a couple of MC's in a set).
They toured the US last October and played it during 13 of the 14 shows from what I can see on a setlist site. They opened with Sense on all but 1 show. That song was written for an anime and has a big intro as well.
Saiki and Miku both had throat surgery at the same time in the summer of 2017.
They’ve learned to take better care of themselves now.
Many of us recently saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. And the BPM’s matched the DB's! 😶🌫Thx, Pry!
So there is a new Japanese band, Lonesome_Blue, that is somewhat related to both Lovebites and Nemophila (all 3 bands have a former member of Destrose). Destrose was a pioneering Japanese all girl metal band that never saw commercial success and suffered constant membership changes, it did spawn about a dozen bands and a handful of solo acts (though most are not active). Lonesome_Blue and Lovebites have both worked with Mao who is a freelance keyboardest/composer (he has worked on all Lovebites albums); Asami (the singer for Lovebites) has also written some English language lyrics for Lonesome_Blue. Lonesome_Blue「Face The Fear」czcams.com/video/57My6iSPBl4/video.html
Thanks for the tip!
Do a CZcams search for Band-Maid from now on LIVE. They played it at the pre-US tour at Aftershock music fest in California then I believe every venue during their one month US tourback in October. The House of Blues Houston Texas is a cool version.
Yeah, the effect you're talking about on Kanami's guitar leads is the Eventide H-9. She uses the pitch shifter function for a 5th above. The past couple of album are definitely showing a heavier (but still eclectic) direction.
Apparently it's a bit divisive, but I actually quite like it. We are in a phase where guitars don't really need to have that traditional "classic tone" anymore. They can literally sound like anything.
Except for one show, this was their show opener on their USA tour.
They used “Sense” for all of their US tour opener, except for AfterShock festival where they used “from now on”
@@HaroMatsuRestarted You are correct. Thank you. I was confused.😁
I think you have plenty of BAND-MAID information and suggestions from the Maidiacs. I'm going to suggest another band for you to react to since you brought up metalcore at the start of the video. This won't be metalcore exactly, but Harajukucore. The band is *Hanabie* (ha-na-be-eh) and song is 'We Love Sweets'. They have a new single coming out next week on the 9th, as well.
Thanks for the suggestion!
There are many Aussies Band Maid fans. It is no coincidence for a country that spawned this mythical rock band that is AC/DC. This girl group is just fabulous. Bold, brave and talented. So many superlatives but deserved. They never disappoint us. They are adored in the west, on all continents, especially in the USA where they toured in 2022 and will do so again in 2023. They opened for GNR in November 2022 at the super Saitama Arena in Japan (over 30K seats). Unfortunately, they won't be coming to Europe and Australia this year. Although you never know what to expect with them. Thank you for this reaction, bro.🤘👍
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
B-M is definitely "The real McCoy", as they say.
Saiki, (V) Decides the setlist for the live performances. Due to fact they were going to perform some "larger" gigs (i.e. supporting Guns&Roses 😑) they should have a Banger intro song .... nuff said🤣
MISA's bass break is vital because you remember to breath then
I've seen them open with this when they aren't playing for their usual crowd like when they opened up for Guns N Roses and when they played Aftershock. I think they use it to get people's attention who might not otherwise be interested in listening to them - which i think is brillant. They may have opened with it at one of their own shows but not sure - otherwise I think they did in the middle to give Saiki a break.
This little composition is better than behind gifted an ice-cold handmade caipirinha on a hot summer evening after a long day at work. Here is an interesting observation I have made after their US tour since I went back and saw both reactions and fan-cam videos: The Venn diagram between people who gets Band-Maid and who gets Aurora must be the strangest one in music history. (We know Aurora is a metal fan, but still).
And I think you are right about Band-Maid. They start off with wonderful compositions - and raise the bar with their musicality and technicality. And I think this is why I think there is this weird Venn-diagram overlap - Aurora also composes and arranges with wonderful and fresh and surprising ideas sprinkled everywhere on top of underlying melodic brilliance. Also, they both are absolute harmonic geniuses within the two genres they define themselves without asking anyone about the regulations from the gatekeepers.
They also both (as entities) have this sensational feel for "space". Like here with MISA stopping everything while rolling down her neck or the 3 single notes of a Piano-track at the end. I think this comes from their harmonic sensibilities. Because Aurora too uses a lot of call-and-response sections in her music (most famously between herself and Silja Sol - but there is also a lot of it going on instrumentally (like reversed patterns going on between lead and bass instruments)
I thought I should share this observation with you - since we both share a parking spot in the same section of the Venn diagram with lots of others between a Norse wood elf and the hardest-kicking and freshest live band on the planet right now. (That they all are females - that is as coincidental as them being in different genres).
A final thought after having listened to this - can you imagine Kanami and Aurora co-writing a rock anthem? Just to test how good "Where the Streets Have no Name" "Bohemian Rhapsody" "Purple Rain" or "Smells like teen spirit" (etc) really are? They even behave similarly off-stage/in interviews. It could easily have become the weirdest and most wonderful collab since Metallica and Lou Reed teamed up.
Hey - if Band-Maid makes it over to the European festival season - here is a wish list. Kanami and Aurora rearrange a small set of Aurora's most rocky songs (Running with the wolves, Churchyard, Under the water etc) with Band-Maid as the backing band). And then Aurora enters as a guest with Band-Maid where she does another of her "stripped" arrangements like she did for "Life on Mars" by Bowie or Teardrop (Massive Attack) or...
I would have gone mad since I would realize that I had done a Lionel Messi (who recently completed the game called football) - this would be very close to completing the art of music. At least I would spend my final years as a very happy insane person.
Heck - Aurora is touring Australia, New Zealand (and parts of SE Asia?) this winter. Imagine Band-Maid open for her? I know it sounds insane, but then - it is not really from a musical perspective (of for the musical sensibilities of both "entities" mentioned). The only reason to cancel such an idea is the fact that nobody deserves that much goodness in a single evening.
I pick up my coat before quietly leaving the room now (It is still a very young year - an old boy can dream 👍)
I am truly thankful to be part of that Venn Diagram. In fact, it never would have happened were it not for my channel. I was at a point where I felt disconnected from music. I had played music my whole life and had been around plenty of diverse music. But I had my favourites and didn’t seem to have energy to discover more. Then one fateful day I decided to look deeper into metalcore stuff and I figured I’d record it.
Nearly 250 videos later and I have discovered so many amazing acts from around the world and many awesome communities of like minded fans that will fill me in on all the music that they are passionate about. It’s been an amazingly fruitful and educational experience these last 12 months.
On another note, I’m seeing Aurora at the Sydney Opera House. I’ll let you know if there are any unscheduled appearances at the show. 😜
Kanami's Gear

Effects - When I compose, I don’t think much about the effects. I use it to enhance the songs I've already written live.
Here are the typical settings of my pedalboard:
Delay: Free The Tone FT-2Y, Eventide TimeFactor - I prefer using Digital Delay on the TimeFactor and on the H9, I use Spring Reverb. I use Free The Tone FT-2Y in a series circuit because it adds delays to a set tempo. TimeFactor is used to connect sends and return effects to clean and solo channels. On the other hand, I use H9 only for songs that use reverb. Currently, I only use it for reverb, but I would like to try more algorithms in the future.
Reverb: Eventide H9 - I am a big fan of Eventide's so I want to keep using it forever!
Volume: Shin’s Music Perfect Volume
Drive: One Control Strawberry Red Overdrive, Fulltone Obsessive Compulsive Drive Overdrive Distortion - I use the boost pedal to add more gloss and deepness in the clean channel or to amplify the sound of the solo or riff.
Booster: Friedman Buxom Boost

Noise Reduction: ISP Technologies Decimator II
Wah: Morley Steve Vai Bad Horsie 2
Octave: Digitech Drop
They did this live in Phoenix Oct 19th 2022…my daughter and I were there. Great show.
Yesm the played it last tour, except for the last show. Kanami was feeling anemic.
They used this as an opener at the festivals they played in Japan prior to their US tour (mid set in halls) and as an opener at Aftershock on their first US tour date. It was then in mid set for all their other US shows bar one when they had to drop it as Kanami was feeling the strain healthwise. On completion of the US tour they flew back to Japan and played support for GunsNRoses at the Saitama Super arena when it was their opener. Fancams are around of this song for pretty much all of the aforementioned shows.
I love the Giovanni instrumental too :)
I was surprised! The timing when you react "Yeah!" is in sync with mine, and the commentary is really on point. You should keep explaining BAND-MAID songs for them and us. There are still many great songs out there. Did you respond to "WITHOUT HOLDING BACK"?
You've done a reaction to one of their other instrumentals before.(Onset)
Yes! I totally remembered after I posted this. I swear the longer I do this (closing in on 250 videos in 12 months) the more I forget what I’ve done! Sometimes before I react to something I have to google it to see if I already posted it! Hahaha. I have too much going on in my life. 😄
@@PrymalChaos Yeah, it's normal to forget those things. Happens quite a lot actually.
Band-Maid did indeed open their set at Lollapalooza 2023 with this song, so they agreed with your idea for how to place it in a set.
I just looked through your videos and it looks like you haven't reacted to Play Live or Real Existence Live. Both are high energy Band Maid at their best. Play was played right before Domination (the live video you reacted to) and is very interesting compositionally with great crowd interaction.
Thanks! I’ll take a look.
They have almost their entire discography available on their channel now as just the songs, off the new EP you really should listen to HATE? and I'll, and probably Balance.
Thanks Prymal! Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
G'day mate. As mentioned by others, they opened with this track at the Aftershock festival in California, playing in 37C heat. Here's a video - the sound is a bit thin, recorded on a mobile phone, but you can hear how well they replicate the studio recording.
czcams.com/video/O53mqfIBiB8/video.html
If the Maids ever make it here to Aus, seeing their live show is high on my bucket list.
btw, as you're on the Japanese band wagon again, Lovebites are back from hiatus, with a new bass player, and recently dropped a new track, Judgement Day. This is also the title track of the new album, to be released 22nd Feb. The Wolfpack are excited! It would be great if you could check it out.
Cheers from Sydney.

czcams.com/video/z7rts6kTJpg/video.html
Asterism are exceptional, considering their age. That a band in their mid-teens could be that good when they first came to notice is incredible. With Bootsie Collins adding some spoken vocals to a couple of tracks ('Blaze' and, especially, 'Warning') on 'Ignition' (their first album) I actually thought Jimi Hendrix and the Experience had regrouped. They've the same guitar, bass and drum threesome as well.
Check out this fan cam vid from their Boston show (which I was also thrilled to be at!) of From Now On. If proof was ever needed to demonstrate what a power-house guitarist and performer Kanami is, this should do it. The tune was definitely a highlight of the set. czcams.com/video/1gmH4EcwrC8/video.html
I've probably watched 100s of Band-Maid reactions by musicians. Though I can hardly play a kazoo, I've learned a lot about the technical aspects of how they play their songs. Still, I do believe your reactions are a fresh perspective that is detailed, but not so far over my head, I'm left looking more like the RCA dog. If you want to get a serious perspective of their diversity, listen to "My Secret Lips" and THEN listen to Band-Maiko's "My Secret Maiko Lips". I won't go into the what and why of Band-Maiko. You should discover that on your own. There's also an acoustic session they did on Christmas in 2021. Well worth looking into. Probably my all time favorite Band-Maid song is the live acoustic version of "Puzzle". There's also studio and live (non-acoustic) versions of "Puzzle", but neither one has the weight of the live acoustic version with just Saiki and Kanami. Kanami's harmonies are breath-taking. If you read the translation of the lyrics first and then watch the live acoustic version, it will almost bring you to tears.
Thanks for your kind words Sherman. I appreciate the suggestions as well.
Listen to the piano throughout the song. For me it’s the vocals or could be.
Thanks for your reaction. From now on is indeed a great composition. I somehow prefer Onset, that you already reacted to, but I do love this one as well. As you said, there are so many songs from Band Maid, all to be recommended, I can't see you reacted to Blooming yet, your channel, your choice, and with vocals, have fun :)
czcams.com/video/uUt_JBMocKM/video.html
This song is instrumental because it doesn't need a vocalist. The guitars do all the singing.
Actually it’s instrumental because Saiki asked Kanami to write an instrumental for the latest album.
A
Great Reaction/Analysis , thank you. You need to check out Hanabie " we love sweets " . No Musical Journey to Japan is complete without them .
This one is for everyone who keeps saying "Kanami's solos are too short." BTW, Kanami was completely exhausted at the end of the US tour...anemia. That can happen when you play 4 lives in a week, eh?
Yeah I certainly couldn’t do it.
And travel by bus across the continent.
@@ericifune5543
It was a very comfortable bus though.
They all talked about how much they enjoyed it.
