    Band Maid is extremely talented and one of the best hard rock band in the world ! They have more than 100 great songs on CZcams and play many styles of music !! The Maids will be coming to the USA in 2022 !!! Great Reaction / New Subscriber =) ps some suggestions "Real Existence" Live "Play" Live or their first MV "Thrill" which saved this band 7 years ago.

    “They do music differently in Japan.” I think the difference is that they’re actually trained musically just as a basic foundation then write, compose and arrange beyond their own skill levels THEN they do the work to rise to that level of playing and performance. They’re not afraid to use their musical ideas for just one song, like bands from the West feel like they have to be careful not to run out of ideas so they hold back when creating music. Not Band Maid! Every song is maximum effort, Without Holding Back (awesome, mind-punching instrumental track).💪🏻🤘🏻

    For my money it's Band-Maid all day every day. You have found the holy grail. They will amaze you with their 100+ song catalog. They are unique, creative, powerful and FUN. I've been searching for 40 years to find a band to fill the musical void and here they are. Band-Maid will never disappoint you. Best rhythm section in Rock. ONSET-LIVE, PLAY-LIVE, FREEDOM-LIVE will get you on your way to the knowledge that BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.

    BAND-MAID was the first group I found when I decided to find new music. I was so impressed with the first three songs I heard that first night "Dice," "Blooming," and "Domination" that I thought about them all all the next day and devoured their catalog that night. I showed my wife who immediately loved them, too.

    Yes, Japan is killing it. Some people say that rock is not dead, it just moved to Japan. Band-Maid is another excellent all-female rock group from Japan. They play mostly hard rock, but as musicians they like to explore more music genres like jazz, funk, soul, etc. They also shine in their live performances. My next recommendations are “Real existence”, “Dice”, “Moratorium”, “Play”, “Freedom”, “Turn me on”, “Don’t you tell me”, “”Manners”, “Onset” (all live if possible)
    Other excellent Japanese all-female rock bands are Nemophila, Show-Ya (a legendary band active since the 80’s), Aldious, Bridear, Fate gear. Other excellent mixed or male bands are Asterism, Unlucky Morpheus, Galneryus, Versailles, Wagakki Band, D_Drive. Japan is the country with more all-female rock bands in the world.
    By the way, Band-Maid toured the USA in 2019 in small venues and it seems they are gonna do it again this year; of course, now they have so much more fans.

You mentioned you like the double bass drum so I'm going to suggest their newest single Sense it's got some really driving drums it's on their official channel I'm sure you're getting a lot of suggestions so go with whatever you really can't go wrong with this amazing group of women. One note though they have a lot of different styles, it's all rock to one degree or another but it varies so expect that going in.

    Band Maid is the greatest thing to happen to Rock this century and they have dozens of incredible songs/performances to explore... and the Madiacs will be out in force to help guide your way... but you've barely scratched the surface when it comes to the skill and proliferation of Japanese Rock Goddesses ..... also recommend:
    Gacharic Spin, and their chaotic punk/funk/progressive masterpiece "Mindset" czcams.com/video/QmL0V667QzI/video.html
    Hanabie "We love Sweets" with their lead singer's vocals that range from beelzebub to chipmunks on helium czcams.com/video/G18yyvPCiTM/video.html
    And of course supergroup Nemophila for whom 4 and 6 strings are not enough... either "Raite" or "Dissension"

    Welcome aboard, Cody. You are embarking on (along with many others - 130 million YT views!) an awesome hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:

    BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off the rails spectacular.
    Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html Their later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 40 well produced music videos. czcams.com/users/BANDMAID
    Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (bandmaidprime.tokyo) and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: czcams.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/video.html, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): czcams.com/video/kfYQoWBlSpk/video.html. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: czcams.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/video.html, and finally by JOSER8845 in LA: czcams.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/video.html. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
    Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
    Band-Maid members are:
    Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
    Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 30 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
    Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 30 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
    Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 31 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
    MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 29 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
    Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.

    THE best live Rock band on Earth. Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained 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. 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. Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the same concert as this performance of Domination, which they released as a DVD 2020.

    They have been my favourite band before, but after the acoustic online concert on Christmas I will love them forever. No idea how a band can make such a transition of Hard Rock songs to an acoutic version ( No God and Different ). Ubekievable.
    Still try also Nemophila a hard Rock/Metal Band from Tokyo. Raitei has some awsome guitar solos and also a crazy drum solo at the end. Worth to see and hear it.

If Rock is your jam, Band Maid is a special one, and can also keep you busy with many styles from acoustic ballad to punk pop to progressive rock. Enjoy the ride.

    The music of these ladies makes me forget my mother language sometimes. :)
    I absolutely agree with you. What these ladies from Japan deliver is unparalleled here in the West. And while most bands have to be satisfied with one or at most two really talented musicians, Band-Maid has a real luxury problem, because without exception each of these five ladies is outstanding at what they do.
    Without exaggerating, the journeys these ladies take you on all end up at the same destination. A >wonderland< for the ears. ...Quite discreetly, I have included a recommendation for another song by them. Should this not be recognizable, songs like 'Play', 'Freedom', 'Onset' (each live) or 'Dice' (MV) are also good stops. :)

    Play (Official Live) - The song could be renamed to "Akane loves triplets"
    Rinne (MV) - That metal intro with hard and fast double bass.
    Secret My Lips (MV) - Has one of my favorite double bass pattern of all time.

    Saiki has said she is not that comfortable singing in English. But like everything else they do, they work on getting the details right and then practice the hell out of it. When there is time in the schedule at a venue before a concert, they have been known to practice their entire two hour set, take a short break, and slam down the two hour set AGAIN with full enthusiasm. They love delivering for their audience!
    Which is why they all work out three days a week to stay strong, like warriors. I think they are superheroines of rock.

    Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of young people who enjoy rock and metal music has plummeted around the world.
    However, it seems that the number of rock and metal lovers is increasing in Japan. (Especially the power of women is attracting attention.)
    What is the cause of the difference between what is happening in the West and what is happening in Japan? ..
    Doesn't it look like the world of rock and metal is now creating a closed world in Europe and America? ..
    Some people make the following claim:
    "Rock and metal should be done in a style like @@@@"
    Therefore, some people feel that the following styles are like rock and metal rules. "Tattoos, piercings, black clothes, menacing voices, hysterical screams, aggressive performances, intolerance to other genres of music ..."
    (I don't think these styles are bad in themselves. The problem is that they look like symbols that deny the free style of other music and performances.)
    As a result, don't you think young people are moving away from rocks and metals that look like a symbol of closed style? ..
    In Japan, rock and metal are recognized as "music where you can freely enjoy your favorite sounds in your favorite style".
    Most Japanese don't find it strange to sing hard rock in cute costumes or play metal in white clothes or high heels.
    The same is true for sound. In Japan, it's not uncommon to enjoy generous style songs where rock and metal merge with POP / R & B / folk and classical music.
    Japanese bands like WAGAKKIBAND / BABYMETAL / BAND-MAID / LOVEBITES / Nemophila / Unlucky-Morpheus / ONE-OK-ROCK .... have such "lots of free ideas".
    About 50 years ago, an explosion occurred in Manchester / Liverpool, England, and ignited all over the world. Why did young people around the world welcome the explosion? .. I think we need to think about the reason.
