- Okay, this song has had an unsual amount of reactions from me LOL First the release of the single, then the live last night (I checked it out this morning, thanks Peter Lim) and then the official release of the Music Video today. They took on a whole new look and it is breathtaking.

I guess I can't understand why I hear this song and I just hear a BAND-MAID song with a touch of Incubus. Then there are those that think everytime they do something a bit different, they may never come back to their old style! You have to listen to new songs for them to become old familiars. The old songs were new songs at one point.
バンドメイドは常に進化しています。カナミは沢山の刺激をもらったと思います。
みんなが好きになる曲が増えるきっかけになるはずです！
People should know by now that they can wander out to other sounds but they never forget who they are!
On a side note, how gorgeous does Kanami look in this video?
Well, that kind of hysterical reaction tends to be softer. I remember perfectly when they dropped Start over, it seemed like the end of the World was coming.
I still continue to love Band-Maid and I find this a great opportunity to get new inspirations. This song sounded better live as always and Saiki held that 8-bar note perfectly. I enjoyed it.
I'll say one thing though = Japanese don't really push their opinions when working with their seniors/famous international artists/Western producer for some reason. It's always been like this way. That being said, it still has Band-Maid flavour.
The worst thing about this song is that when I try to listen to it,I get attacked by onion ninjas who always go after the eyes…the lil bastards.
So, is it just me or has not being in their normal outfits put a whole new spin on this song???
I wasn't a massive fan when I first heard it but, I can't stop watching it now.
Band Maid turn to Band angels ❤
Kanami's frills are the wings of an angel!
Beautiful, angelic!!!!! If this is what heaven looks and sounds like, I'm going to have to be a lot nicer!!!!!!
So beautiful, so satisfying..a winning MV for sure! 😊❤❤❤❤❤
Girls look like 5 angels in this white outfits! So beautiful! And song sounds great! Of course!
ただ嬉しくて何故か涙が出てます。
That iconic Kanami pose to start the solo
Could this be the summer outfit for Band-Maid. I vote for it!!! Saiki and her new haircut is just divine. Kanami with the pony tail and lacework shoulder wings is hyper cute. The white Band-Maid is a team made in heaven.
It's a great video. Kanami especially looks gorgeous. Maybe it's the combo of hair and dress, but she really stands out.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Saiki’s priestess cut looks great.
I love it when they slow down the tempo.
They look and play like angels on a mission.
Really digging the song and the subtle change in wardrobe attire. The theme and lyrics definitely pull on the heart strings. Such a wonderful group of musicians, Band Maid always delivers.🤘
Bestie is growing in me. Initially, I didn’t care much but now I do.
Love the visuals!
The words that come to me are elegance and beauty. What a wonderful way of surprising these girls have. Always Band Maid....❤
Angel-Maid's! They look so different and beautiful in this video! A fantastic video! Oh yeah, I am loving the song more and more!
Just Wow! Loved it.
何かが彼女達の決定的な分岐点になるとしてもワタシは常に彼女達に寄り添って生きていきたい。彼女達はワタシなどより圧倒的に若い、様々な事を受容し消化しそこから更に昇華させる力も備わっている、が故に変わりゆくであろう彼女達をただ純粋に信じていきたい。それがファンとしての証になればと思う。ワタシはただただBandMaidが好きなのだ。
よく言った
Gotta love how they aren’t afraid to change things up. Go with all white outfits instead of the maid u informs for this MV, a really fun idea imo.
Misa's bass is soooooo smooth.
I like that I can now differentiate between Miku and Kanami's guitar parts. Yes, the set looked very much like the last acoustic Okyu-ji set - you can see the 'table' and the floor lamp in the back ground. Kanami "Out - Gapped" Miku this time!
Band Maiden!. Great look! They have enough brand recognition that they don't need Maid outfits anymore. Love the video, love the song, love the reaction. Rock on 🤘
姫カットのサイキが可愛い
Band-Maid’s wardrobe in this music video was produced by Saiki.
outstanding new video for a beautiful song. the visuals were awesome. not just their outfits but the whole setting, beautiful tree and chairs with their equipment mixed in. the hairstyles, just everything magical. loved every second of it. it's just so short! lol. beautiful song.
The maids are still the maids.Even when they play the acoustic show Christmas, they became jedis.Well for this one they became angels
Yep - the angelic look just confirms what we already knew. They are angels sent from heaven.
@@Kevin6059of course they are. Who do you think makes all the thunder
Seeing the video makes the song mean so much more. Those white outfits looked so good on them. What a contrast. I am loving it!
I thought Kanami had a beast of a pedal board. There's views of Mike's that are insane.
Held on August 17th and 18th, 2024!
BAND-MAID to appear at "SUMMER SONIC 2024"!
BAND-MAID will be performing on Saturday, August 17th.
I think I might be a while recovering from the sight of Misa in white.
Exactly…whatever they want to do is great with me!! They’ve earned the right to do whatever the heck they want to do, imho. Love the song and video. Are they purposely trying something to maybe get more popular - probably - and I’m perfectly fine with that. Go for it! Will never affect how I feel about them. 👏🏼🎸🥁🎤🎹🎼😎✌🏼
I think that you may be right. World Domination may not come in the form that we know right now. I want the best for the band even at the expense of some unhappy fans.
Lots of talk about the "new" look. They have gone thru many versions of outfits. This certainly was in step with the art direction of this MV. First MV where I felt there was a master stylist working with the art director.
MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song. Miku and Saiki's lyrics are heartfelt. "I can't look into your eyes." Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞Thx, Mikey & Band-Maid!
Hey Ryan 🤘 "wow" that was also my impression in the first seconds. First seconds ? No, during the whole video. While the song is not my bestie 🤪 i was blown away by the visuals and the fact that our ladies (they are really no maids anymore 😉) finally found the courage to present an original (rock)song without their maid outfits. Is this the future ? I'm all in for sure 🤘🍻
Another AWESOME reaction Master Ryan Mear. I think everyone had the same reaction when the song started and showed the group in white. From the tight shot on Mincho to start, my mind was already going a thousand miles and hour..."no Maid battle armor"? Then...Angels...😍 It does look like the set from their acoustic show. As for the song...loved it the first time I heard it. And love it more as I watch it more. IMHO, I think it's a great "radio friendly" song which can be enjoyed by the masses who know nothing about Band-Maid or their hard rock style. Just my 2 yen thoughts...take it for what it's worth. Which seem to be worth less and less these days...🤣 PO! 🕊 WORLD DOMINATION!!! 🤘😆🤘
Your signed t-shirt fan from HI.
What a fcken band Po 👍🍻
BTW From year to year, from month to month, the increasingly heavier sound of Akane's drums seems to fulfill the urban legend that Jimmy Page, before he persuaded Akane to take a photo with her in 2016, told her that she reminded him of John Bonham.
😎
Yeah but no, didn't happen
Yeah, the pic happened but the "Bonham" bit is a myth.
My guitar teacher told me never use your thumb, that it's a lazy habit. Then I notice that almost every great guitarist uses their thumb.
Gotta know the rules before you break them
"Those who can, do; Those who can't, teach"
@@philproffitt8363 Teaching well takes a a special set of skills that not many folks have. But thanks for the excuse to use my thumb👍
@@armynurseboyJackson Pollack, Rothko, etc. went through art foundation classes drawing curved pencil lines for hours. That's why they had that "something" that your rebellious relatively-rich kid art student painting in your local coffee shop doesn't have.
That said, untrained "primitive art" like Grandma Moses or American slave artists can have that "something." That's what the good 70's punk bands did. BUT... they don't have replayability. That's why the Clash, who were pub-rockers and glam- rockers beforehand, could put out albums that you could sit down and listen to in their entirety. I mean I love the Ramones, but who wants to listen to any entire Ramones album on headphones without the aid of mind- altering substances?
Now I have to get home and listen to the Buzzcock's non-hits on headphones to see where they fit.
I'm wondering if Ryan knows the Jam at all....
Band Angels!🫶🫶
Awesome reaction
As usual they do a great job and there are parts of this song I like quite a bit but overall it's just not the kind of music that gets to me. Heresy, I know, but I will always support Band Maid and if this is available commercially I'll buy it too. Kanami's solo is excellent. I'll keep listening to it to see if it grows on me any more, when I first heard it I couldn't even listen to the end. I'll keep trying.
Love it!
They look gorgeous...hope they keep the new look!
I am 76 old Japanese man again. As I said in another part, I started listening music with old American country rock "Crosby, Stills Nash & Young (LP title "Deja Vu")" at my age of 14 or 15 . so this new song remind me of nostolagic and good olddays American folk(country) rock, so I checked immediately INCUBUS songs and sound. That was great and also cool. I felt also nostalgic feeling listening INCUBUS. There was similar music in good old days American folk(country) rock, such as Buffalo Spring Fieald(Neil Young), Carol King"Tapestry("You've got a friend")", Neil Young"OHIO"and so on. Any way, Bandmaid and Incubus are both so talented. I started listening music with old American country rock "Crosby, Stills Nash & Young (LP title "Deja Vu")". Rock !
I read somewhere that MISA in this attire looks like the thief lady from Home Alone 3 and now I can't unsee it
I don't care how they dress as long as the music is great. But I will say that they all look beautiful in this video.
Ryan- I can see that you are as excited as I am about this video. Is this their new look? If so it's genius.
Totally fine with a new look. Change is good!
Not sure if you heard about it, but there's a new Cluppo song out. It's on the Touhou Lost World channel and it's called Spread Your Wings.
We listen their songs untill those become to be a part of our heart.
We don't miss even single note from them.
And each song eases our heart from inside.
Because they are singing for us always. (except for Hate?)
Really, who cares what they wear. Any genre, any style of play, anything that they want to play. I'm there dude!
De primera pense que era la banda Scandal 😮
Scandalous but so coool, Po! 🦍🍌Btw, make "Peace not War" gear, Po!
Band-Angels.
Love it. No Maid outfits and was great.
ライアンアニキーーーー🤘🏻
Kanami is even cuter.🎸😆
Miku looks adorable in her facial expression when she sings "you"
I don't mind if they phasing it out as long as they sounds like Band Maid,
And Ryan, I've been lobbying for a potato sack tour for a couple of years now!
I smell a Grammy!
Grammy what are you doing up? 😅
Sang in all English too
MISA MISA MISA!!!!!
⚪🕊️
😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉
I was afraid that the new song is not as good as the old stuff from Band Maid. And yes, Bestie is a pop song, no hard rock and no typical Band Maid complexity. They do that now and then ... and I like that. Nevertheless, it needs some time to creep into my ears but now its an ear worm ;-D
Same with this video ... but this one is great: The opening guitar intro from Kanami was fantastic! I am not sure if I like their dress style (IMHO too old fashioned) but their hair style make them even more cute. You cannot "optimize" Miku and Misa ... but I very much like the new look of Saiki, Kanami and Akane. Please keep it that way! Love it. This was great and is on may playlist! Next song will hopefully more hard rock: You can see that all but Saiki are looking bored 🤣🤣 Po! 🕊
Saiki didn't look bored when she was performing this live. She delivered it beautifully. The thing I don't like about this song is that it's a bit cut-and-pastey for Band-Maid apart from mid instrumental breakdown. I like intro/outro guitar riff and his it ended though.
new amp?
Kanami is ready to fly.
The outfit fits the song better than their usual uniform. But I still prefer Saiki and Misa being goth sisters..😂
Mike is not a feature in thia song he participated in the writing part.
The song at least whould have been featured by Mike. I guess it wouldn't make sense unless it says featured by Incubus. 🤷🏻♂️
But you can tell it has Incubus sound.
@@lurkmerchantmost definitely , Mike is the main writer of their songs. My comment was regarding Ryan saying Mike is not in the video. For that to happen usually the featured is mentioned in the tittle.
Mu friend either your mic is too low or the music too loud vut i can barely listen you're comments.
The video is beautiful and they look amazing
I had already mentioned it before, for me it is not his best work, his style has already changed, I stick with his works from the beginning.
I prefer their older material. But A Crow Left of the Murder was great!!
@@RyanMearI have followed Japanese music for many years, this new song by BM is not what has characterized their music, something new and a Japanese style, it is more the music in English, which is very monotonous, but if they like it, that's fine, but for me I don't like it.
To be honest I really miss their old songs. Not really a fan Saki's rapping like segment but I'm a fan when she does accoustic songs. The song still good on my book it just that, I miss their old style, old iconic outfits, where I can sing along with their old songs that's what I'm trying to say.
I absolutely love it when they play their old songs live but I don't like their music start sounding samey either.
