The way Saiki belts out "Choose Me!" at the end....gives me chills
Kanami composes, makes a demo, and sends it to the members. Misa makes a cool bass line according to Kanami's orders. Akane fixes the drum part so that it can be played by a human. Saiki conveys the image of the song to Miku, and Miku writes the lyrics.
This is their basic songwriting routine.
I could not have summarized it better myself 👍
Akane fixes the drum part so it can be played by a half human, half gorilla.
😆
Another great reaction. Lead guitarist is Kanami. Glad your taking the Bandmaid journey. I'm in my mid 60's and grew up listening to all the great rock bands. Never in my wildest imagination did I think that 5 Japanese ladies wearing maid outfits would become my 2nd all time favourite band ( just behind Led Zeppelin). I've watched many reaction videos and you're reactions are top tier for sure. Keep up the good work
Band Maid move my #1 of The Who, to second place.
Same as you, I’ve been around almost as long and, while I find it hard to make a firm ranking, Band Maid is right there with Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, etc. Those are legendary groups and, while Band Maid will likely never be legendary unfortunately, since the music industry has changed for the worse, they are at least as good, IMO.
@@greylocke100 It's possible they could eventually become my #1. I feel blessed to have discovered them. Thank you YT algorithm
@@interstellardave The language barrier is too much for a lot of people to get past. Too bad as their talent is on par with the very best in the business
its nice to see that im not the only zeppelin fan. it started with stairway to heaven.
Kanami is a lead guitarist and composer.
she is a genius.
Without a guitar, she looks like a natural airhead. She turns into a riff machine or structured chaos with a guitar.
Her name Ka-nami means song-wave in Japanese.
It's refreshing to see a reactor that takes the time to pay attention to the lyrics/subtitles. A lot of them turn the subtitles off. If you really want to be shocked by some Band Maid lyrics listen to "don't let me down". That official video does not have subtitles, but the lyrics are not hard to find. It's actually all sung in English (phonetically), but some of it is hard to make out.
Miku is amazing lyricist, a poet really. Her lyrics are often really deep and specifically vague if that makes sense. She writes her lyrics in such a way that each individual listening will have a different interpretation of their meaning based on their own experiences. That's a talent that's rare and unique. She takes inspiration from a wide range of material; manga, movies, TV shows, books, anime, etc..
Also, within the Japanese language she's unique in how she writes her lyrics as well, often truncating and combining words/syllables to fit the melody. Even Japanese fans have a hard time singing her lyrics so you can only imagine what Saiki has to do.
You have talked about Saiki's rasp a couple times. Something to note is that this was unique to this concert. Normaally, in the past, she wouldn't be quite so "dirty" with her singing. I believe that she was completely caught up in the moment during this specific concert and we get a really good and rare glimpse of her emotions bleeding through in her singing.
I've seen Band-Maid live 5 times and even I was blown away by her performance during this show, this was her showing everyone that she is a true front woman and not just a lead singer. She OWNED the crowd, had them all in the palm of her hand the entire show. It was spectacular.
I don't think her lyrics are vague. 'That was nice but I want more. Give me more until I sleep' I know exactly what that means. I'm not a yogurt dispenser. You can fill up one cup and then the machine is down for maintenance. You can have moto tomorrow. I'm sleepy.
If you've ever dated a woman with a high sex drive you should know exactly what she's talking about. I knew she wrote the lyrics before I knew. She obviously puts a ton of effort into being sexy. She has Danger: High Maintenance written all over her. I think it's awesome but I'm not equipped to handle that and I don't know if any man is. Don't get me wrong I love her and her lyrics but it is what it is. If you see an attractive Japanese man with big bags under his eyes and looks exhausted all the time he could be her husband. Give him a protein bar.
Second song I ever heard by them, Play-live was the first, and it sealed the deal. Maidiac from then on.
8:45 I'm screaming at my screen *Kanami!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 😄
I'm screaming Kanami at my screen while eating ice cream at my door screen.🙂
Saiki's little growl/grit voice at 5:18 ... i live for those little things🤍. Check out "SCREAMING" live performance from shibuya.. its just Gold
"Choose Me"-- a song featured in the Netflix original movie "KATE" as BAND MAID, has so many great RnR chops, it's kinda unbelievable. From Saiki's old-school phrasing, cadence and a super soulful vocal at the end; MISA's driving bass, her special riff after Kanami's brilliant, rocking main solo (complete with harmonic pinch), and her pulls at the end of the song that really funks it up with Akane's drumming; to Kanami's original composition, off-beat octave stretches during the verses, and her addition of a second uncomplicated yet super tasty solo; to Akane's unique snare & tom flurry that launches the choruses; and to Miku's octave-down, in & out vocal backup and lyrics... all makes "Choose Me" a throwback rocker that surprised me when I first heard it - and I'll bet most anyone - that they would come up with this western-style, rock 'n roll classic.
Of course, after years later, it's not surprising at all coming from this important band of geniuses who are almost single-handedly bringing back the joys and soulfulness of rock for people from all places and ages to hear. Here's a great, better studio mixed MV of "Choose Me" that's more punchy: czcams.com/video/MZIJ2vFxu9Y/video.html Thx, Ross!
💯% correct 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
This song was featured in the Netflix movie "Kate".
I was also one that yelled "Kanami!" at the screen. We are all human though. Akane was the name that used to always give me trouble. Hopefully "Kanami" is now etched in your brain, especially since she might be one of the best songwriters of her generation, and I don't mean just in Japan.
Band Maid,, Puzzle Live.., you will like it,
Another Band-Maid song that sounds better live =) . Actually both versions are awesome ! I would read the lyrics if wasn't half blind and half blind . Another awesome performance is "Real Existence" Live and if you run out of live shows try "Blooming" MV with two guitar solos =) Nice Reaction Man
This is the band that can catch you out of guard more easily. Original, versatile, emotional... No aspect they cannot use to hit you
Never tire of this band always something new in every songs
I have never seen a reactor turn into a Maidiac right before my very eyes.... because of the *lyrics* !!!
I guess why not.... after all, we all know Miku is a brilliant lyricist. Have to give it to Kanami for coming up with this song though. The song and the lyrics just fit perfectly like a jigsaw puzzle.
Speaking of Puzzle........
Thank you for your heart felt reactions and kind words for the B-M community.
Miku Kobato writes such interesting and often very deep lyrics and takes her inspirations from books films tv and manga she has said. i have to wonder in the earlier days when they were singing others words what they thought of them? especially a song like "don't let me down" a song totally in English and with none of the girls being anything like fluent at all, they have to be some of the riskiest of lyrics of any of their songs
if Ross is flushing at this song's lyrics... ROFL I dont know if he can handle "Dont let me down" LOL
☺ exactly
Oh boy...sounds like i'm in for a ride with that one! Might have to be next ;)
To earn a credit in any banmaid song, you need to finish following homework
1. First listen and enjoy the entire song
2. Enjoy two of the greatest singers Saiki and Miku rock world today
3. Enjoy great guitar duo with Kanami and Miku
4. Enjoy great rhythm section with Misa's bass and Akane's drumming
5. Appreciate the lyrics by Miku which are always so unique, so original and so deep.
BTW, love it that you mention to give thumbs up for other reactors. You are awesome!
Totally agreed KC! Thank you for the kind words! Can't wait to continue the journey :)
I think Ross retreated to some cave or monastery after listing to Onset, Sayonakidori and Choose Me, all in one evening.
I hope he’s OK. We look forward to seeing him again, still alive, sometime soon.
He may be changed when he emerges. I wish him all the best after his experience.
Great!
The consistency of Band-Maid is they keep you guessing! The variations both of the songs and within each song makes for the ability to listen to it over and over again. If they were any other band I'd probably sick of them by now. Every time I listen i hear something new though.
Kanami lead guitar so Carlos Santana -riffs and licks awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
You want to hear Kanami really go nuts, get ahold of the live electric version of Sayonakidori… and also Puzzle, if you’ve not done that one yet!
Greart reaction always fun to watch
strong×3 👍👍👍🇯🇵
MISA!!! MISA!!! MISA!!! 🥃🥃🥃
Fun reaction, if you like this one, (and as others have mentioned) you will love "Dont let me down". Play it and sing along, we all do.
If you want lyrics to make you blush by BAND-MAID / Don't let me down (Official Music Video)
And it's KANAMI! Or Mincho. Or Guitarzilla.
You should definitely go and look at the lyrics of the songs you have heard, if you haven't already. Some of the lyrics are VERY interesting.
MISA MISA MISA a Raspy Sai-chan is a Happy Sai-chan
Oh, yes it is!
There is an official live video of the song. That is the song you should react to.
Empowering lyrics, you say? This is tame. Check out Don't Let Me Down, official MV. They are the definition of Empowered! But you'll have to pull them up, no CC. You'll see why...But I suggest you listen first, read the lyrics after. 😛😛😛🤭🤭🤭🤨😱😱😱😳😳😳
If you consider yourself a metalhead rocker, I think you should react to "Chemical Reaction" from Band Maid's Conqueror album. This song really shows there pan rock genre chops. The song is a late 60's-early 70's throwback song, complete with cowbell and a Jimi Hendrix "Purple Haze" rift at the end.
If a pretty lady sing me this song, I'll immediately choose her to be her prisoner.
Kanami
You going to see them in September?
I want to go so badly and I think I will, but it's tough right now because the tickets are so expensive. Working on it ;)
@@RosstaFloss Hopefully I'll see you there. I paid $99 each.
I think you were misinterpreting the lyrics. Saiki wanted him to kneel down cos he was 7'10" tall....probably.😏
If you want juicy lyrics, try Don't let me down. It's all in English.
Make sure you have the lyrics ready in front of you before you start the song.
Not Miku's lyrics,,,
It's definitely Miku's lyrics.
Kobato wrote the lyrics after asking Saiki what kind of song it should be
Well interesting,,
Meow???!
Nunca reaccionaste a grupos de Kpop? 🤔 Se me ocurrió enviarte una sugerencia 😁 czcams.com/video/2HcVZm_4qAI/video.html
Why not check out the new In Flames track The Great Deceiver
It's one of the best things they have realesed in a long time
Will definitely check it out! Thank you for letting me know Josef!
