    I am 67 (in years) and have been a rock fan since my early teens;
    in my opinion, Band-Maid is the best band I have ever listened to.

      I'm 58 Peter...I can't agree more ! Rock & Roll fan since I bought my first album in ' 74 ( Meet the Beatles for 1.00 at a school rummage sale ) . Band Maid is the best band I've heard since Marshall Crenshaw in the early 90's . I NEVER thought it would happen...but here we are . Greatness is at hand !

    That song was their tribute to Freddie Mercury(Queen … the only band that can stand with Band-Maid in terms of consistently good song writing, arrangements, and performance.)
    120+ songs and there are no stinkers.
    They are even better live. One of the most versatile bands there is.

    Like Peter I'm up there too. 73. Been into music since I was 10. Played coronet through first year in college. Of newer bands Band Maid is one of my favorites-----along with The Warning, Lovebites, Baby Metal, Liliac and some others. I'm always captivated by Misa's bass----she does not only play a usual bass line, but she interjects her own melodies at times. Incredible bass player. Thanks for the great reaction. Check out the official video of Thrill!

    Maidiacs Incoming! 🎉 Welcome to the best thing to happen in the hard rock space in a generation or two.
    Here’s the problem with Band Maid: their music catalog has so many different styles that it’s difficult to grasp what they’re about with just a few tracks.
    What styles of music impact you the most?
    Band Maid does metal, hard rock, alternative rock, pop ballads, anthem pop rock with disco beats, anime themes, punk rock and progressive rock…even jazzy stuff…sometimes inside the same song.
    I and my legion of fellow Maidiacs are along for your journey down the pigeonhole 🐦
    Please consider these for reactions:
    “DICE,” hard rock with Maid-style complexity, trademark bass solo into guitar solo, and signature catchy chorus.
    “From Now On,” progressive heavy metal instrumental. No lyrics to translate; however, it doesn’t need any
    “Freedom,” official live video. Arena pop rock. Band Maid transform into superheroes on stage. They’re playfully devastating rock stars who include the audience as part of the show

    One of my favourite Aurora reactors taking the most natural step (not instinctively at first) into Band-Maid. Fawning over Aurora AND Band-Maid is like having a glove fitting the right hand and another glove fitting the left. This is way over at the pop-ish side of Band-Maid. They are most fun and best when they go HARD. And as with Aurora - best consumed live. I am sure many will agree - check out "Domination" official live, Po.

    Band-maid have many songs please don't stop on your first song. They do acoustic music as well but they can rock out as well. Nemophila are heavier if you like that and very good and not all Nemophila songs are heavy. Life is about welcoming the drummer back from Maternity leave. She's had 2 babies and the singer recently had her first but when the mums clock on you better have your earplugs in. Rolling Quartz is yet another great all girl band but from Korea not Japan.

    Welcome to the world of Band Maid :-) You can't pick a wrong song, but "Bubble" is a good place to start. They have a wide variety of songs (punk and metal influences, pure rock, blues/jazz). Lots to discover. As I said: You can't go wrong with your choice but good songs to start with are the LIVE versions of "Domination" (some cool solos) and "Freedom" (great chorus, drum solo and a lot of fun playing) or the MVs from "Dice" or "Influencer". After that, enjoy "Manners / Blackhole" LIFE or the slower songs "Memorable" or "Daydreaming" (MV). Phew. .. I can't stop... there are so many brilliant songs (The dragon cries, Secret my/maiko lips, From now On, Onset, Choose me, Play LIVE, Rinne ....) or the accoustic versions.... I hope you have fun discovering Band Maid. By the way: There are also great documentations about each band member and much more

    • @skrrytch
      @skrrytch Před 9 měsíci +2

      And here are a few quick facts: The band has been writing (virtually) all of their own songs for years, with "Kanami" (lead guitar) usually taking over the composition, supplemented by the individual contributions of the other instruments: "Misa" the barefoot assassin (bass), "Akane" genius gorilla (drums), "Miku" our little pidgeon (rythm guitar, lyrics, second vocals, entertainment, and a lot more), and "Saiki" (lead vocals).

Every song has a different rock era feel from rock ballads to very hard rock. I guarantee if you pull up more Band Maid fans from the internet to react to, you will get a lot more of us Band Maid followers (we call ourselves Maidiacs)

    The Band-Maid rabbit hole is deep (maybe it should be a pigeon hole as Miku is our little pigeon po😄). I personally like the live performances, they don't have any bad songs but a few of my personal favourites are Shambles, Dice, Play, No God, Warning, Domination, The Dragon Cries and Unleash. They have (in my opinion) the best current bass player with Misa (I call her The Mistress Of Thunder), her booming bass riffs weave through the songs. They are all awesome ❤😄🤘

    • @skrrytch
      @skrrytch Před 9 měsíci +1

      Yes, don't underestimate their LIVE performance! There is often a lot more energy and joy in playing. Some LIVE versions are definitely better than the album versions. But for now, avoid smartphone recordings of live performances... too much acoustics will be lost. Always make sure that they are “Original Live Videos”. On the other hand, there are also songs where I like the album version (or MV) better, like "Dice" or "From now on" for example.

If you want to continue your exploration of B-M, you could start with the first MV (released in 2014) "Thrill" (this was not composed by the band, that came a bit later). All of the official videos can be found on their YT channel.

    You reside inside my heart
    Sharing and licking each other, so cheesy

    Having obvious ideals
    Can lead to falling into the abyss
    Intertwined by secrets tears us apart

    Trapped in an ephemeral dream

    It has no forever
    wowowowo

    Rough sighs cloud up the mirror
    wowowowo
    Illusions in the heart
    They have no forever
    wowowowo

    There is no reason

    Hey, listen.
    After everything,
    You only see the surface.
    They are missing
    something very important.
    You should find out the truth
    with your own eyes.
    What do you want?
    It depends on you.

    The front or back, which shows justice? yeah
    Starting to seek for an exit, which way is it? now
    It’s collapsing
    Even without one, just keep believing, yeah
    heatedly heatedly
    My internal voice

    Trapped in an ephemeral dream
    wowowowo
    Perfection
    It has no forever

    A predicted reality is calling for me
    (Hey!) wake me up!! wake me up!!

    Japan has all the best female rock and metal bands: Band-Maid, Nemophila, Hanabie etc. Not only are they all excellent musicians but also great characters.

There is also a tendency towards positive, empowering lyrics, which make a really nice change from the tedious misery of western metal and rock lyrics.

    "Beautiful Guitar!", it's a Ring Chess by Zemaitis, you can get your very own with only $10,000. (let go of some of that CZcamsr money!). Kobato Miku, the rhythm guitarist, second vocalist and original founder, represents Zemaitis and has her very own signature guitar from them called the Flappy Pigeon. You'll learn more about Miku and pigeons from the fans if you continue with Band-Maid. Thanks for the reaction!

    Hi ashlena, I love your warning reactions! they are another favorite band of mine, how about the vma performances!! The maids might be my favorite band ever besides led zeppelin. By the way the warning and and band maid love each other and recently got to meet at a festival they played at! I'm sure a maidiac has a link to that video. You can't go wrong with any song, just like the warning. Band maid has like 120 songs or so. I say work new to old. It might take a few years but it's worth it! Hi to the warning army, and all the masters and princesses! Thanks.

    Yeah, this one is a rough translation. Alot of Japanese euphemisms that don't really have a decent English translation, but the gist of the song is pleasurable diversion while on a general downward spiral while the music takes you in a constantly increasingly euphoric roller coaster ride. And the licking part may be correct. They can get pretty spicy. Check out Don't Let Me Down.

    • @finduspettson2557
      @finduspettson2557 Před 9 měsíci +3

      Japanese is a very contextual language, so the licking part might not be as spicy as you think. Imagine cats or licking wounds, it's about emotions.
      Also " Don't let me down " it's a song written for them , even the lyrics. Miku's lyrics are never that blunt.

    By the way Ashlena: What about "I am not into non-english music" (from your first BabyMetal reaction)? 😀Hopefully you changed your mind a little bit about foreign-language music 😇 I am used to that kind of music because english music IS foreign-language music for me as well as japanese and many more 🤣 By the way: I am also not into "BabyMetal" ... first because I am not really a metal guy and ... second ... I cannot identify with three girls dancing and singing in high notes in front of an anonymous background band. 😵 With that in mind: I would be happy if you would delve a little deeper into the Band Maid pidgeon hole 👍Rettsu rokku 🤘

  • @troedelgerry
    @troedelgerry Před 9 měsíci

    Hi dear Ashlena ! I have to say, you set the standards WAY high with yout Greywind reaction video. Now I am already comparing THIS band to what I have witnessed just two days ago. And I really have to say, as good as Band-Maid is, musically and vocally, I would always prefer Greywind, although these girls from Japan are great, as well... but it's the singer's voice that makes the difference ! Steph O'Sullivan's voice is so special and recognizable, it caught me right from the first moment. Band-Maid's singer has a good singing voice, for sure, but it just didn't touch me... nevertheless that doesn't mean that Band-Maid is not a good band, they sure are ! Domination is a much better song from Band-Maid, by the way.
    Best wishes : Gerry

  • @RahimRahmat
    @RahimRahmat Před 9 měsíci

    Why does the song sound much higher pitched than the actual MV??? You actually SPED up the song, and then wish to comment on what you're hearing?!! Do you know the difference when you speed up the song, or is it all the same to you? The fact that you speed up any song to react to it tells me how much of a musical ear you actually have. No sense of frequency or pitch to the song? You DARE to react to the song without hearing their actual sound?? How do I respect you from here??!!
    I'm going to take it that you feared being copyright-claimed, so you took this absolute nonsense of a precaution this ONE time. Band-Maid are very reactor-friendly and are not known to pull the rug from under the people who are promoting them.
    I trust it will *NEVER* happen again with any other Band-Maid song. I hope to give your channel one last shot with another song, and hear what real opinions you have (musically speaking, assuming you're capable of that). Don't ever destroy their sound ever again..... you hear?!

      @@ashlenamusic The album version is 3:46, the video is 4:11 the difference is in the intro (before the music starts) with about 10 seconds of silence. and the end with about 10 seconds of silence, so the music part is the same as the album. I think you should ignore these comments about the sped of the song. Your comments about the quality of the song, the ladies technical skills and your other positive remarks are what really matters.

    • @RahimRahmat
      @RahimRahmat Před 9 měsíci

      Ok everyone, I was really going to end this, probably with an apology for the considerably rude remarks made. But all these comments compel me to explain myself. Here's what I am seeing: -
      Ashlena started the song in her video at 1:23. This point corresponds with the timing of 0:11 in the Official MV.
      Ashlena's video ends the song at 4:57. This corresponds at 3:53 on the official MV.
      This means that the song ran for 3 mins 24 seconds in Ashlena's video, yet the song ran for 3 mins 42 second in the Official MV.
      Now, I tell you what I hear. All the frequencies of the instruments and the vocals have been shifted up. They are all higher pitch than normal. You just have to play both Ashlena's video and the official MV side by side to simply notice this.
      The song sounds quite jarring in Ashlena's video, nothing like what I have been hearing in the official MV or even on my MPEG-4 files. Even if I don't trust my ears, I can see the timing pretty darn clearly.
      How is it possible that I can hear this difference so clearly? I can't stand how jarring this difference is, yet you are all telling me that it sounds the same?!!! Ashlena is also making the comment that she didn't know it was sped up, yet how are the timing comparisons different, in that case? Did my Math fail???
      Alright, I've said my peace. I trust you will all investigate appropriately if you want to understand what's going on.
