  • We don't deserve this band....but here they are telling us that we do and they love us for it. This is, not only a beautiful song with wonderful production, but a love-letter to the fans. It could have been a letter. A post on Twitter. A short on CZcams.....no.....they went and wrote a whole song just to tell us, again (About Us) how much WE mean to THEM!
    Please, watch the original video!

    They appreciate their fans enough to immortalize it in multiple songs. They've written us three different love letters now: SMILE, ABOUT US, and now MEMORABLE. Miku, Saiki, Kanami, Akane, and MISA are five absolutely amazing humans.

    You know they really mean their appreciation towards their fans. They definitely know that a slow, “simple” song will not be as well-received as an MV as their usual hard and fast ones just based on past statistics, but they go ahead to release it anyway for those the song is meant for. 😊

    Thank you, Ryan. BAND-MAID is a once in a lifetime experience. Their talent as musicians, their foresight in respecting a song first, their ability to write and arrange amazing compositions and, just as important (at least for me), their beautiful personalities have made my life and love of music elevate above my previous expectations. BAND-MAID, thank you for never forgetting your loyal followers.

    This song hits the heart in so many ways. Thank you Band-Maid. I've never heard of a band until B-M, that writes love songs to their fans. They are truly special. The lyrics are absolutely beautiful, wow Miku and Saiki. To have been apart of this, sending them on their way from Chicago, is Memorable on it's own. But to hear them express their gratitude in such a way really shows us how truly wonderful they are. And yes, someone is cutting onions in the kitchen right now. Edit: (I wonder what the person in the truck was thinking; a japanese maid standing in the middle of the desert with a guitar.) ぽ

    This is why Akane cried at the Chicago show. They love us as much as we love them. I feel blessed to have discovered them 4 years ago, and to watch them blossom both as stellar musicians, as well as 5 beautiful ladies who have such deep appreciation for their fans. In my 60+ years I have NEVER seen a band who treats fans more like a community, or extended family, and it's like we're all a part of something bigger than our individual selves... together. Everyone at the Chicago show was so happy, and new friendships were forged in the waiting lines and throughout the crowd. These girls have been life changing for so many of us. Thanks for all you and the Gaijin Guys do for helping to make them more popular, so others can discover their magic, too.

    When a rock band is formed out of humble, egoless, hard-working, talentful human beings, you can reach this state of wonder that Band-Maind incarnates. They redefine what Rock should have always been: a pure feeling which can be either soft or brutal, without any need for faking a rebelious posture.

    This song will be appreciated differently by Band-Maid fans compared to by those new to the band. On the surface this feels like a very well-written love song. Only Band-Maid fans know _who_ this love song is addressed to, and truly understand _why_ they wanted to write this. Yet, with every new song this band writes they make everyone who hears it a bit of a better person; these ladies are inspirational and they matter. And here with this more popular sounding song they show us yet another one of their songwriting talents that we all knew existed. No surprise; they knock it out of the park as per usual.

Like “Are there really our masters and princesses (fans) in the US?” Then I actually went there and got a sense of relief like “Ah, I’m relieved, they are really there!” (laughs) I kind of got a lot of inspirations throughout the tour." Yeah, I'd say you did! And the fact that they'd write something back to fans all over the world in gratitude is more than we deserve.

    I hadn't seen this video when it came out, I just saw it now and I was also very emotional seeing how it impacted you. I met BAND-MAID 3 years ago and my love grew by watching both your videos and other people's. I thought it was amazing when you created Gaijin Guys, because I already liked the videos of reactions that you made separately and seeing the four of you together was a really cool thing. I'm from Brazil and I might never get to see one of their shows, even though they're my favorite band. But watching you talk about it, going to the shows, being moved by all of this, makes my heart warm a lot.
    This fan community is incredible and seeing how songs impact people in such unique ways is something very special. The best band with the best fans for sure. Hugs and lots of love from Brazil to all of you who share the same love I do for this amazing band

    I posted it on the discord and a few other videos, but to me, this song, is Band-Maid's version of Jackson Browne's "The Load Out - Stay". It tells the "Masters and Princesses" just how much they know we love them and they love us in return. And we make their performances comlete.

    I feel you brother, I’ve seen the video about 15 times now, 12 of which were reaction videos.
    It would seem that my emotional response gets more and more intense with each successive time I’ve watched it and heard Saiki belt out those sweet beautiful lyrics along with that haunting composition.
    Your reaction to this beautiful song was wonderful, and it was a pleasure to hear somebody react to the song who actually understood what it was about. (unlike most of the other reactors)
    It is a beautiful feeling, to know that “WE”, as fans who attend their shows, and support their musical endeavors and platforms with so much passion and joy are all part of this amazing symbiotic relationship with these five lovely, charming & talented ladies.

    Perfection. That's how I describe this song and this band. Very few bands have even one album that I consider perfect. Far fewer have more than one. The Beatles from Rubber Soul through Abbey Road. Queensryche from Rage for Order through Promised Land. Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules. And then there's Band-Maid. Every time, pure perfection. Every song in their discography belongs there. To remove any of them would diminish the whole. This is the best band I've been fortunate enough to discover and will probably remain the best ever, at least in my lifetime.

    Very well said. They have impacted so many lives including mine and it brings me joy that they know how much they are loved and appreciated. Before the US tour Saiki didn't believe that people would show up to the shows and thought everyone had probably forgotten about them. That is why the lyrics hit so hard for me. You could see how much fun they were having during the tour. I am glad they had such a wonderful experience here.
    I would also add Smile to the list of songs directed to the fans.

    When the plague was at its height, 'About Us' helped me release a lot of emotions that I'd had to keep to myself. I sobbed and felt unburdened and relieved and. most of all, I regained my hope for better times. Although times are now a lot better (seeing friends and family again, for example) this MV, with Kanami's thoughts turned into lyrics, moved me within 15 seconds of it beginning, though in a happy way. I hope that Budokan invites them to perform the gig they had to miss and that they visit Europe next year.

      There was NO "plague"--just a grasp for global power by evil controllers who could only have enjoyed killing music for a while .
      We must not tolerate a repeat performance.

Like you, they have profoundly impacted my life. I'm certain there are countless people who can say the same. They are a once in a generation or possibly a once in a lifetime band. Excellent reaction. Hope to see you on their tour.

    I feel you, Ryan. They have broadened my view and love of music as well. I saw them at Aftershock (met Alan, that was cool), and Phoenix, where I live. Phoenix was the smallest venue on the tour. I was watching and actually concerned that the crowd wasn't giving them their due. They seemed happy, Mincho smiles while shredding, Misa toasting the crowd, Misa giving Akane a piggyback while she did the "Mol moi kyun kyun" shtick. But still, while pouring out their art over 500 people in a concrete box, I wondered what they really thought. Now I know.
