I really like the fact that these weren't overly produced. Has a more raw live sound. Miku's vocal effects steal the show. Love Mincho's rapid fire slides at the end. Saiki's eyes go a bit crazy in Black Hole and love her extra rasp.
I am a fan of assassin trio, MISA, Akane, Kanami... in any order you like... but Miku's triplets and Saiki's psycho eyes got me... Saiki was so into it, and Miku surprised me.
@@TihomirBozic69 yes--agreed entirely !
I still hear things after hundreds of listens to a song, too -- like Miku's singing with her unique vocal accents and close harmonies. Or Kanami's verse riffing around the drums and Saiki's melodies. Or MISA's independant counter riffing while incorporating a little bit of what everybody else is doing. (She's very busy. No wonder she doesn't smile much because of all that concentration). And of course Akane continues to amaze me because I'm always hearing new things from her.
This is why their songs continue to grow on me after all these years. Like I've said before: Band-Maid writes and performs the most dense yet beautifully integrated hard rock music in history Thx, Champ! btw - Re: your Saiki vocal comment @ 7:30: as you know, RnR is not supposed to be perfect. It's supposed to be expressive. ;-)

I'm not sure I would be able to play consistently those triplets Miku's playing - or I would have to train and concentrate a lot! What she brings live is now as essential as what the other four play or sing. More, she adds a scent of unpredictability and madness throughout, and I can't think of another band with such a "joker" card up their sleeve.
Hey!, Miku The Joker. I like it!
Yes, Miku the Joker describes her so well!
@@jamesredman1263 And, minus the evil intentions, every bit as clever as The Joker.
Love your referring to Miku as the wild card !!
Miku seems to have come from supporting everyone to sort of entwining with everyone !
She was rock solid,with the 4 geniuses----but now she is a rock-solid genius with the other 4 (OTHER) geniuses !!!!
Favourite always is the call-and-response with her and Saiki !
I will say it again. On these recent live videos. Miku has impressed me the most. She seems so comfortable with her vocals and guitar playing and the confidence that she displays. She makes it look so easy. This pigeon is amazing.
Miku you mean.
The only time Miku looked nervous in that live was when playing Sayonakidori - a song which she specifically asked Kanami to make difficult for her to sing. One thing I love about this band is that none of the members are content to stay in their comfort zones … always pushing vocal range, pushing tempo, adding new guitar and bass techniques, etc. Just read an interview from 2016 where they talked about how challenging it was to their abilities to make Brand-New MAID … and they are so far ahead of that now, they could probably play that album in their sleep!
@@SLKRR oops. Sure did.
Yea! They for sure absolutely SLAYED Black Hole! Everyone! Those vocals from both Saiki and Miku made me speechless!
Manners and Black Hole are a Blooming Thrill to watch Band Maid Take me higher with everything they do.I sometimes find myself Screaming with Extasy when seeing them takes me back to the Nonfiction Days of great rock.Just role the Dice for a great song.
I tip my tiny hat to you Sir 🎩 nice work 😎🤘
I think Miku did sing the same parts in the album version, but they were indistinguishable in the original mix.
Think this version really highlights both Miku's & MISA's importance to this track! ♥
100%
Other than a few intros and some solo work, from day one, they usually play and sing exactly like they record -- written and discipled.
All that “extra” stuff is already on the studio recording, but it gets buried in the mix (and the ridiculous loudness doesn’t help).
As for this live mix, the guitar seems fine to me (not disappearing like on Line Cube DVD), but they absolutely did boost the sound of the bass and the drums, so it doesn’t stand out quite as much. And since I love listening to the bass and drums, I’ve got no complaints!
Even though Miku's numerous backup vocals are pushed farther back in the mix on the album, I noticed it straight away because I think it's the biggest improvement they've made to their sound for the new album.
@@cold-fire I totally agree with that, my favorite part of their new material as well. I had to go back and re-listen to Manners for Miku's vocals...sure enough they were there.
@@cold-fire Agree. I think Miku's vocals are unique, fun, and surprisingly smart. Nothing like them from any band that I know of.
@@TomClark-Futoura also agreed----more and more like vocal duo rather than just vocal-plus-backup.
@@wave8359 It's like the closely sung vocals between Saiki and Miku make up a totally unique sound for the Maids that very few bands have achieved. The Everly Bros. close harmonies oddly come to mind. But that close, dual-vocal sound, plus the addition of Miku's unexpected backup accents, really sets them apart.
The reason we all love live performances from them is we get to hear the stuff that's there on the studio recording but you can only hear clearly on the live performance. And yes they need, NEED, an audience again. That is such a energy boost that I am sure by now they are craving the experience.
Because whoever mixes their albums is terrible. World Domination was the only one that sounded decent
I was actually wondering if they could really pull off Black Hole Live when I first heard it. Now I'm kicking myself for ever doubting them.
Actually I asked Kanami to give me a spanking, but she said her arms were too tired from all that guitar playing. 😛
I bet she giggled, clapped & jumped up & down tho :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yep, as usual ;)
@@Jonas_S_ Haha. That's our Mincho.🙂
Probably a good thing you didn't ask Akane - not sure how the human body would hold up to 220 Spanks Per Minute XD
The best live band of the last 30 years or more.
🤙🏼1000% agree
----or perhaps the last 300 years !..............
Absolutely concur with you declaration.
We can agree that Miku is the MVP backup singer of all-time.
Agreeeeeeeeed !!
Black Hole is the song that I keep hitting repeat on. My only complaint about the song is that it is too short .. but boy does it hit 🤟🏻
Loved this live (those parts where they go off stage are crazy...) anyway, loved the reaction to these pearls. "Black Hole" is surely part of a (really freaking difficult) Top 5. After "Unseen World" I am eagerly waiting for the next new album - I wasn't expecting "Unseen World" to be what it was and can't imagine what next one will be like (a mesh between Unseen and Conqueror? Some new unexplored ideas?) ... I saw Kanami asking Herman Li on Twitch about the highest BPM song of Dragon Force and promised to top it... so we might have yet another "Black Hole"-like song in the future being "cooked"... and Akane going nuts even more.
The ONLY down side of this performance: no crowd! Can you imagine both these songs live at Budokan filled with a devoted Band-Maid crowd? ... I'm going to rewatch the April 13th 2018, Zepp Tokyo again just because I need these girls to have a crowd, it's their 6th member...
By far my favorite band since X, and that was 40 years ago.
Champ is getting the full Maidiac experience. No matter how many times you listen to their songs, there's always a chance you will discover something new that was there all along.
I’m really starting to appreciate Saiki more and more. Her vocals are so impressive and she’s really stepped into her own as a live performer these past few years. She’s really gained a lot of confidence and stage presence. Plus, I’ve always had a thing for those lollipop girls (big heads on skinny bodies) lol.
They really need to start putting out live albums. The Descendents put out 2 live albums while being together roughly the same time frame as Band-Maid. I want a live album I can listen to in the car, dammit!
I dare say Saiki's head is in perfect proportion to her body. I feel I'm channeling Will Smith at the grammy's right now. :-)
Yes!---Just Yes !
Saw this live when they posted it. Great performance of both of these songs. BUT, why oh why did they not keep a camera dedicated to Akane for Black Hole???
I've said that the guitar solo in "Manners" is more of a duet, Kanami and MISA.
Headphones really are required for this performance. To me it sounds very muddled on speakers only (yes I have good speakers haha) and the non-audience recordings have been hit or miss at times. This band feeds off an audience.. That said, Saiki on this gig was on fire compared to previous ones.

Great reaction and yes, they always want to please their audience, adding little bits here and there, new intros, sometimes a new ending, Miku's vocals more forward, MISA more clearly present and Akane's madness in the middle. Best live band is a very, very long time.
Studio: not enough MISA and Miku
Live: plenty of MISA and Miku, but not enough Kanami
I think I like the live version better, the bass&drum intro on Manners is cool and being able to hear MISA & Miku better really adds to the music
DAMN, that groove MISA is laying down is gnarly. She’s my favourite live bassist at this point. Truly plays bass lead live. She’s an absolute beast of a bass player.
Miku kicking ass as well with the backing vocals.
Love Manners! I especially loved the intro and that is why Band-Maid live is so much better! Thank you for reacting to this video.
I don't know where Miku got the idea for the lyrics to this song, but they are quite interesting. Some have called Miku the Japanese Stevie Nicks as a lyricist.
Black Hole lyrics are akin to Peart's "Natural Science"
One thing I do like about seeing them live and their smaller shows in Europe and the USA is that there isn't quite the same level of production as they obviously put in for the stuff going out on a DVD. I like to be able to really hear them play live. It's obviously not as clean sounding, but the energy takes it up a level. Kanami writes for the stage, not the studio.
That's so well put: " Kanami writes for the stage, not the studio".----perfect!
Thanks, Champ, your reaction was worth the wait. All of them hit all the marks on both songs. I'm kind of with you on the guitars, though, would like to have them just a bit more in the mix. But the hell with complaining, it was outstanding!
Akane murdering her drum kit, misa going almost atonal because she can, incredible vocal duos,not a second of relaxin' from kanamichan and miku at the top of her art in record time; Band maid for a rock anthology for the ages.
well said !!!
I love the original "Manners" MV, but I like this one better. All of the elements are the same as in the MV, but the mix is very different. Both Misa and Miku really shine in this mix. Love it!
Fucking hell I can't her enough of Miku's live vocals, both voices sound so SO perfect together
i think that is why the live versions sound "better" the guitars are hard paned left and right and you can really hear what each are doing
At this point we can say that the versions of the songs on their albums are basic models that they are in charge of polishing and improving in the live versions. Within the complexity of songwriting on their more progressive side!. How few bands are capable of doing that! Rush and how many more?
Another great reaction. I only discovered Bandmaid this past March. You and Chase Carneson helped me appreciate how great this band is. You both really know what you're talking about and provide useful musical info done in a passionate manner. Lately, I've been introduced to reactors such as Wave Potter and Ryan Mear who are also musicians who provide great commentary. I'm glad you mentioned Domination and Freedom. I think you touched on the essence of Bandmaid. That is, take a good music video and make a great live version. It's almost expected now. Also, I agree that Manners and Black Hole would be so much better performed in front of a live audience. I dream of that day. Sorry for being so long winded. One last note. I'm in my mid 60's and consider Led Zeppelin to be my all time favourite band. Never thought I'd hear a band on their technical level, but Bandmaid is inching ever closer. Cheers from Canada
In case you haven't already seen it, Jimmy Page is a fan. He sent a note to Akane after the band took part in a music awards show in Tokyo in 2016, asking to meet her backstage and get a photo taken together. It was granted and posted. He was impressed with her drumming and told her so, and she answered with typically humble Japanese response that she will continue to do her best.
You sound like the rest of us about your age. 😉 I'm glad you have found the Band-Maid train 🚆. I was fortunate to have found them on YT back in 2016. I have looked back since. I'm also fortunate to have seen B-M play twice here in LA back in 2018 and 2019. Just amazing. I hope you get to see our Maids in concert at least once. 🤙🏼
Jbf guitar and music is another great musician who reacts to bandmaid :) check him out for great musical insights
Fellow geezer here, saw Zeppelin, Purple 3x, Queen, lots of others in the glory days. Never thought rock would be back, but it is, it just wears dresses and lives in Japan. If you are into technical, I give you a band that was not as big as those others but was technically even better--King Crimson. Check them out. "Red" album. I assume you have also discovered Lovebites. While I think Band-Maid's songwriting is better, Lovebites are taking technical to another level. And like Band-Maid, they are astonishing live.
@@curtisrrobles7885 Thanks for the reply. I'm not a concert guy at all. Not really interested in that at all until now. Attending a BM concert is certainly high on my bucket list.
4:16 I thought that was a new vocal part also on Manners, but it's actually not. It's just hard to hear on the studio recording. It is there though.
The same goes for the horn parts in Manners (which are so quiet that I even have a hard time hearing them now that I know they are there) and for the BLACK HOLE parts as far as I know when I went back to them after listening to the live video. But I agree, I thought they were new as well when I was listening to the Live video the first time. They are just extremely quiet on the album.
I personally also prefer these live versions over the album version and I really love the album versions.
I tend to love their Live mixing more, except that Kanami is usually a bit too quiet in the mix (but I love that they usually pump up MISA's bass).
MIKU steals the show tonight PO!!!
They are always SO MUCH more than the sum total of the individual performances, but somehow you REALLY notice Miku's EVOLUTION into a MAJOR FORCE as an instrumentalist and vocalist! She truly is the glue for this band now. That says so much when you consider her work on support parts stands out as much as Saiki's vocals, Akane's appropriate frenetic drumming (fyi she has achieved 16th note double kicks at 212 BPM!!!! at end of Black Hole) , and MISA . . .oh so forward . . . assassinating the mix!!!!
PeaCE and LOve PO!!!!
Thank you. Watching your reaction videos is like settling in with a friend for an evening of good drinks and good music. And music doesn't get any better than Band-Maid!
Keep 'em coming!
Thanks dude... jsyk all my rock reactions will be moved over to my other channel soon. Champ Rock.
I like your reactions Champ. It's fun rewatching your really early reactions to Domination!
Been waiting for this one! And yeah Miku is back at it!
GO‼️MIKU‼️
GO‼️MIKU‼️
GO‼️MIKU‼️
Miku's backing chorus is a transcendental technique.❣️
yes yes yes !!
Great job, Champ as always. I think Miku is a competent rhythm player at this point and we don't need to be surprised when she can do something. I don't think we should expect a solo from her on the next album, but she's not a liability that Kanami needs to work around (unless she wants to do some Lovebites style writing, which I don't think she does).
I'm very interested in your take on Conqueror and cluppo's new song.
TINY HAT!!! 🥁🥁🥁
Manners bass solo is on the album too. People just focus in the guitar solo but you can hear the bass very clear.
this live performance really makes me love the bass line on this song so much.
I think my favorite part of this is how Kanami is doing some one finger downward bends (like just after 1:35 in this video - downward as in the direction the string goes, the pitch still goes up). I'm so used to seeing the strings pushed upwards to get that sound that it surprised me. Tiny little Japanese lady's dainty fingers bending steel to her will.
I don't think there's much new here, I think the mix is letting you hear some things differently.
You think maybe they were lacking a little bit of melody... which is why you jumped in to sing along! (Very shortly after nearly blowing my speakers and scaring my dog with your pained AGHAHGGHH.) ;-)
How nice yyou took the time to notice Mincho's dainty fingers even tho you have huge crushing claws. Miku's harmonies can get a little drowned out in the layered vocals of the studio versions, but they're much clearer in this live mix :)
🤙🏼
Yeah, it's like a rehearsal taping, or Live-To-Tape for a television program or something. Ready for shows!
Man They ve improved soo muuch as a Band since 2019. Cant wait to see em Live its gone be the greatest Day of my Life.
I really, really hope they tour near me. I really want to see them so bad! Great reaction!
Wheee!!!! Thanks for giving us a terrific reaction! And you only bored us for a 1:03. That's a whole extra 27 seconds you didn't bore us!! ;)
What makes Black Hole even more impressive is that they played it as song 21 of a 22 song set. THAT is trusting yourself and trusting your band-mates to be able to play a song like that when you are tired. Thank you again for a great reaction and breakdown.
With everything going on it's so easy to overlook Saiki, but she really is vocal perfection for this genre.
yes yes yes !
I too thought Miku ADDED an extra part with that echo but no....it's in the original song but you have to listen for it......yeah it made me go back and listen to the original. Saiki gets some growls in this recording too, I just love when she growls. How about Saiki's eyeballs all bugged out during Black Hole...Lol!. Miku, I feel, didn't add anything extra, just her mix was up it did add to the live performance here for sure......but I'm sure that's what you meant.
I think she was feeling the centrifugal force of the black hole at that point
this is a late comment, but i felt it necessary. as much as i like bandmaid live, thrill the mv was the song that captured me. fan for life.
If this were an annual review, Miku's moved from "meets expectations" to "exceeds expectations."
The extra vocal you were hearing is on the recorded track!! These two songs are excellent!
Just in case, very close range filmed live stage of "Take Me Higher/Freedom/Moratorium" - czcams.com/video/RxmRiWHZ3TI/video.html (with Akane`s drum solo! and with mega lengthy Kanami`s intro-solo!)
And here is video with all members having a go on drums - czcams.com/video/Zu3kkzWf7qU/video.html
Hey there. Did You watch new movie "KATE" where Band Maid was featured? Tell us about Your thoughts!
Absolutely Amazing performance! The girls are Perfect! No more words! I love the perfect chaos in "Black Hole" and Miku's ❤️🕊️ performance in "Manners". Good react again man. See you at the next 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey man you don't have to apologize, in my book you are a great guy you're one of the few that created a playlist for their band-maid reviews!!
👉🏻【 'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!' - from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 】🕊️ That's all I can say! 😉
Miku's vocal track is not an extra added, it's on the album. It does seem to be a little more pronouced here.
Those two songs deserve to be played in front of thousands and thousands of people. Looking forward to see that day coming to real.
me tooooo
First things is Black hole is hands down my favourite by them and it was crazy when I saw that they played it live, yk? Second thing is: The vocal lines in black hole r all the same. I haven't finished the react yet, so idk if u already noticed it, but I actually listened to all Miku's vocals in that song cuz I love em and they're all there
I think that Miku's volume is better, so we can actually taste it more
I've always been surprised and fallen in love with their live performances. It's always a thing when you write a song that may be produced a certain way in the studio and then come to replicate that in the live environment. I have a mate of some musically historical note who says he always insisted that their default position should be accurate replication, and whilst the material from both main bands he was in was obviously as challenging as it ever is, the base material was arguably less complex in terms of the writing (I'm sure he'd agree). The stuff which Band Maid, Lovebites etc.. put out could quite easily be compromised by what seems to be written, and yet they all handle their material brilliantly!
hey Champ! glad youre doing more of the girls! :D all the parts you asked if were new, are in the original versions, just buried in the layers.
Great version of Manners. Miku's extra vocalizations, Misa's bass solo, and the synthesized horn parts are all on the original just at lower volume and is much more subtle in the background. I think Akane's drumming on Black Hole absolutely slays.
I definitely recommend Black Hole from the previous live they played it on, it just shows how badly mixed the day of the maid concert was. It's like a day and night difference.
Umm, I don't know about that. I watched them both live & I think Day of Maid smoked Feb.11 in the mix, at least live... Now if you're comparing the Feb11 blu-ray to this version (both have post-production), then maybe the Blu-ray takes the win.
During the drum solo, the bass is so synchronized that you loose the leading edge to the drum beats. I just hear the bass tones reverberating from the drum beats. Amazing for a live show.
Thought so too----sounds like a drubass, or perhaps a badrum !
The album version of songs are just the base, they get to step up the game when performing.
You need to listen to Cross live. A great song from the 2017 album Just Bring It. You get to check out Kanami with some rare backup vocals…
Miku killin’ it like John Wick. Po.💪🏻🤘🏻
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
(11:51) I love when Miku adds that "aa" here - all Miku.
The most amazing band on the planet!!!!
My body was waiting for this
I think you'll love the last Cluppo mv Flapping Wings. After the second listen I'm starting to tolerate it a bit more. Miku's lyrics pull me in but the autotune pushes me out. Still struggling with it, but in the end more Kobato is always better 🤘🕊️
Absolutely sensational. I don't think Misa plays just a basic bass rhythm anymore. She seems to play lead bass line runs up & down the neck for the whole song. Not just when you see her on camera. Nice to see Miku playing her signature Zemaitis 'Flappy Pigeon' guitar.
czcams.com/video/oEPK4_ov4p8/video.html
As far as Manners goes, everything you heard is on the album except maybe the brass section. I still haven't picked up on that in the studio version. And Black Hole, that extra vocal line was indeed on the album.
10:18 --> literally me, or maybe literally everyone LOL
Edit: started with 9:30 , almost forget that.
Master MISA makes my innards rumble....and I like it.
As you should 😉
During the bumblebee riff part.. listen to Miku for some lead notes working with MISA.. just sayin'.. always appreciate your reaction Champ..
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!" - Miku Kobato
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🕊
Ballads: Have you ever listened to "Page" from the Conqueror album? I think that would qualify as a ballad. Along with the more recent "About Us" - both work really hard at jerking a tear or 2 from my eyes.
I waved a cloth a couple of times at my PC screen to get rid of a fly. Turns out it was your black pointer. Silly me! 🤣👆
i don't think i could say the live versions of their songs are better... different yes and that's
what i love about Band maid... you can listen to the records and then watch a live show and not feel
like you've already heard the songs over and over
in this latest live show (online) given that i've just watched 4 live shows one could tell that
there being no audience made a slight impact.... they still did an Amazing show but one could almost tell they
would have been happier with an audience
2h + 1h + 2h + 2.5h Amazing live shows and nice to have a reason to crank up the stereo
Saiki was on fire that day! Loved it!
So let's do this - take the studio version and the live version and compare segment by segment to each other. Their Live songs are going to be awesome when they do get out in concert. They always add to the songs in the Live versions.
KANAMI asked Herman Li what the fastest song he plays (225bpm) Kanami stated that 220 was her fastest (BLACK HOLE) but she would write a song for 225bpm.
Herman Li video here czcams.com/video/oS2U9YzaFK8/video.html
Where have you been man? Maidiacs missed you.
Nice work as usually
Nice reaction. Black Hole...getting pulled inside that lovely madness. Miku was impressive, starting from those triplets to her harmonies and overall guitarwork. Seems like a hard song for her to play and sing and she nailed it. I'm glad they released Black Hole with Manners - highlights one of the crazy fun things about the band: it's diversity. Unfortunately, it sounded to me like a mic was missing from Akane's kick drum, otherwise she was fire. Misa was a volcano. Saiki was her usual beautiful vocals. But Kanami's guitarwork ... was so far back in the mix as to be practically off-stage. Again. Yeah I'm exaggerating a little, but this is a bad place to have your lead guitar in a rock band. Live Band-Maid songs have started to sound like bass-drum exclusives, and I'm beginning to wonder whether this is how the band wants it. These two songs would imo have sounded dramatically better with the lead guitar turned up 20%. They need to go find whoever recorded their old Studio Coast and Zepp shows and get them on the payroll asap.
10:40 Akane and MISA going berserk amazingly 🔥🔥🔥
MISA MISA MISA!
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Dave you did not give me the heads up on Chrono falco's comment. I've just scrolled down & found it myself. Shocking dereliction of duty. Lol
@@GaryHolloway-810 I just got done reading them too. Just wow.
@@curtisrrobles7885 I know. Miku's harmonies don't clash, they're just clearer in the live mix. Don't tell Jim Moriarty about CF's comment cos he may of been overtly gushing about Miku what with all the love hearts in his comment.😆
@@GaryHolloway-810 😆
It would be interesting to know if it's still the case that Kanami does Miku's parts in the studio - have they said anything about that in interviews? I think she's at the point where she'd want to play those parts herself - she's earned it.
I had heard that Kanami did do Miku's parts for the UW album. Miku did say she will do them next time. Regardless, if you watched the acoustic okyu-ji the other day you know she can hold her own.
@@gradyshmalady8284 Yep - she's a solid guitarist now. I was so proud of her, both for her part in the whole-band songs and the "Miku" songs with just Misa & Akane
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], DEXCORE [Red Eye], 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], SOKONINARU [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], JILUKA [Suzaku], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], and many many more...
Miku is singing a counter melody through the whole song, it is a bit hidden on the studio version.
The studio of Manners is deceptively complex/layered so a lot of work live...they done great. Needs an audience rockin' with them of course. Black Hole is manic but they can just let go...so felt easier. Superb.
They do different and they do well at it!
We (I) need a cut of Black Hole focusing only on Akane's drums.
Nice to get 6 songs in one video. First Manners, and then the 5 songs played over each other that are collectively called "Black Hole".
One does not simply listen to 1 Band-Maid song.
MISA!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
Yes, this version has so much more than the album version. The most prominent two things is MISA and Miku. MISA is playing a solo almost al way through the song, almost never stops. And the bass is so high in the mix. And Miku just slays both with guitar and vocals. Of course, the others also are phenomenal, but MISA and Miku is my main take from this video with Manners.
Love Band-Maid and your reactions. My first reaction is this live version of Manners lacks the punch of the music video. Hey I am not sure if you have ever reacted to the all-sisters band, The Warning, but their new single “Evolve” is great. Keep up the great work!
Why aren't they the biggest band in the world.
Jungle boogie horns! Cool and the gang!
