#bandmaid #bandmaidreaction #dilana - Hudba
You could tell that she prefers heavier stuff and that's cool. Her take on Saiki is just flat out absurd though. I also found
her take on their outfits somewhat amusing. Sneakers? Really?
Honestly she's only half wrong about Saiki, the instrumental orchestration is so technically impressive that it does over shadow her vocals a lot. There's some songs like Daydreaming and Endless Story that lets her shine though. I agree with her taste being very heavy, I was hoping he would've played Dice, Hate or Rinne for her because I knew she wouldn't vibe. I mean it's one person, and I think she got caught up on the poppy lyrics. Not a big deal imo.
I absolutely LOVE their outfits. They look classy and elegant while playing like a house on fire. I think the trope of biker skank rocker women is incredibly tiring and dated but love how refreshing and individualistic this is. 👍
Yeah it’s hardly new, it’s been around since the sixties and seventies. Think the great Suzi Q. I love the fact that Band Maid can be extremely feminine while being some of the hardest rockers around. It’s a breath of fresh air.
I agree, there are a lot of female metal bands wearing tight black leather outfits and boots just to please the male audience. I think this is submission to masculine values. That's why I admire Otoboke Beaver, they wear colorful 1.99 dresses, flip-flops and sneakers and they don't care what other people think.
@@ricardo__jr A lot of it is about trying to appear tough.
And a thing about the maid outfits, Dilana: as Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip, poor tortured artists "outfits"... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! It also represents Woman Power (Equality), which is an important theme with the Maids.
Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working, Po! Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!
That’s a new take on Saiki. I don’t even know what to do with that. Hung up on her heels? The sneakers comment was funny because dude, she has no idea about Saiki’s collection. 😂
I find it funny when people get judgemental about what others wear. It is a typical way to evaluate others I guess. Only specific uniforms are accepted.
In my experience people that dress to shock have somewhat weak self esteem and while showing their edginess don't realize how much they are really conformist.
I actually agree with her. When Saiki ditched her heels to go into the crowd she came out for half a song barefoot. There was a noticeable difference in her moves. She was like a hungry jaguar on the prowl.
@@jefffromchicago6321 from the movement aspect I guess I could see that point.
@@jefffromchicago6321
Barefoot, when one has worn heels, tends to move the weight more onto the toes, so that makes perfect sense.
But I like the strut she has in the heels - and usually Ialso prefer women not to wear them, partly because they can't wear them properly and partly because rather than "elongating' the lower leg I think it has a bad result of throwing the hips out and thickening the calves - both of which are counter to the desired effect.
"I don't care for the outfits," says the woman with pink hair and a thousand tattoos. That's funny.
Yes, but that's her style choice, and she's entitle to her thoughts on Saiki and the other maids' "battle armour', just I'm entitled to think her choices are rediculous.
But, really, does it matter either way?
well, talking about outfit and looks... 😏
Her appearance made me think of Justin Hawkins. Fabulous singer, fabulous performer - but why inject _that_ much ink under your skin? It's her body and she can do what she wants (I mean, Saiki has tattoos too), but glass houses, stones, and all that.
Toxic post: envy is a horrible thing 🤭🫣😅🔥
She did “Zombie” by the Cranberries 10 years ago and it has around 235k views. I bailed on the song because of all the vocal fry and screaming.
Band-Maid’s “Thrill”, also uploaded 10 years ago, has over 20 million, so yeah, I think you’re on the mark.
I doubt Saiki would change anything about their band or the way they make music. She doesn't want to take her heels off, and MISA doesn't want to put them on! Miku likes her kawaii clothes, and their fans would recommend that you not get in her way. She is a force of nature!
Does feminism mean not liking femininity?
"Does feminism mean not liking femininity?" I don't know about feminists but for the pink and blue-haired neofeminists the answer is "yes".
Feminism has, for a long time now, rejected femininity, traditional feminine roles, and even female biological reality. It should really be called masculinism at this point, because those traits, and roles, are what many feminists seem to idealize. Of course they demonize such things in actual men!
@@HellMac They have something in common with the conservatives!
Evidentially today it does. They think looking like a man exudes strength, but ironically they don’t like actual strong men. It’s a puzzle
I heard from a commentor who was at this concert say Lovebite members were there and Saiki spotted them and was surprised( spotlight shone on them)@ 7:01 . He said he was 4 rows back of the LoveBite members. BTW, to each his or her own taste but really, are we there for the music or their clothes.
I remember seeing Midori's post on Instagram that she, Asami, Miyako, and I think Haruna, all attended the concert. 🤘
@@TehPhysics I didn't see anything about Miyako or Fami there, but Asami, Haruna, and Midori were definitely there. All of them posted about it on Instagram and probably on X/Twitter. Also, there's a channel just called Michelle about a young lady who traveled to Yokohama for this show. At one point in her vlog about this concert, she walks outside and in the background right there are the three LB members.
Someone on Ryan Mear's discord posted a photo taken from the opposite side of the arena of Miku doing her walk around the audience with her head turned right looking straight at Asami, Haruna, and Midori with the biggestest smile.
Never heard of her, but Saiki...yeah.
This amazing band for 10 years made millions people around the globe to love them! And now they probably started to choose who they want to love and who they don't want to love them!?
For me the playing is the great part either all together or in solos. The singing just ties it all together nicely. I hope they don't change the outfits to much, like what they are going for.
Just my 2 yen...I'm torn on their outfits. Although I do ,for the most part, love their latest set of battle armor, I feel, with the exception of Miku, they are straying too far from Maid battle armor?🤔 At the same time, if it means members would unhappy and want to leave because they don't have wear "maid" outfits, then heck, I don't care what they wear...as long as they stay together and create more AWESOME music together. Again, 2 yen thought, so take it for what's it worth.... PO!!!🕊 WORLD DOMINATION!!!🤘😆🤘
We had Obi-Wan Kanami for the Christmas acoustic but now she's turning Darth Mincho 🤣 and just bringing 'Balance' to the Maidiverse 😁🤘
Someone is hung up on being feminine. God forbid that they conduct themselves in a feminine way.
Based on her enthusiastic reaction to Hanabie, I pretty much expected her response to Band Maid. She would thoroughly enjoy one of their concerts...but the MC bits would drive her nuts...and that's fine by me... Different Strokes...🤷🏻♂️
I was thinking the same thing. She'd puke at Omajinai time🤮😂😂😂
@@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL She would leave so fast, her tatts would still be on the seat...😆
Saiki is amazing
Akane is wearing sneakers if that helps.
😂
😂😂😂
I think some other drummers mentioned they are some type of wrestling shoe, and started using them as well.
@@dannelson6980They’re Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Slip-Ons.
This one is soooooo gooood!
You can't find a voice bigger than the band when it's Band Maid Although, that is why Miku, the original lead singer and founder of Band Maid, stepped back and brought in Saiki(the lead here), because she didn't think she had a strong enough voice for the band
I think she can't fathom a band that does not revolve around the lead singer. Bandmaid uses vocals as another instrument. Saiki is a jewel set in a golden ring.
Not surprising to me that with all of that ink and the neck tattoo that she doesn't get the maid idea. Had you played Black Hole or Shambles, she probably would have had a different reaction. 😑
She'd say the vocals outdone by the band.
@@lurkmerchant Yeah, haters gotta hate...
I'm a massive Maid fan and I respect her opinion, people who don't know the band, do not realise the lore and history and the individual band members back stories . Tend to look at them like a novelty act and not one of the greatest rock bands in the history of rock music .
Not surprised as she also hated Su’s vocals. Loved the Kami Band, hated the clean vocals. She loved Hanabie and will Nemophila as she seems to want a harsh vocal. But as much as I love Yukina and Mayu, the harsh vocals do not go with Band Maid’s more rock oriented sound.
Ah, well, can't win over everyone on the first song.
I, too, was originally enamored with the band first, then Saiki. I get it. Now, however, I can't imagine this band minus Saiki, or anyone else. It's all or nothing at this point.
I did find her maid costume bias comical. I wonder if it's because of some perceived sexual connotation, or whatever. I've seen several reactors go straight into fetishizing the outfits and that was pretty telling on their end. Rock history is filled with "outlandish" outfits, from David Bowie to L'il Nas X. Maid outfits aren't really all that odd when compared to KISS or Slipknot. Though, I did put off listening to BAND-MAID for a bit because I thought they were a "pop" band at first. Heh, nope.
Hope Dilana gives them another chance. Thanks for introducing new people to BANDMAID, Joel. Excellent series. 👍
I get it. When i first discovered Band Maid I didnt want a traditional style female vocalist. I wanted growls. I had to start off with their instrumental songs. But i soon learned their were songs that Saiki's style just knocked it out of the park for me like Dice, Alone, Secret My Lips, Different etc. And yes there are still songs that im just not crazy about her vocals on. Not that theyre bad in any way. Just not quite my preffered style.
You can tell it just wasn't her cup of tea, which is cool. Everyone has a right to their own opinion both aesthetically and acoustically.
What I find irritating and weak is that for the 2nd time this week (with this particular performance I should clarify) I've seen a reaction channel mention the Maid Aesthetic Aspect as being an issue, which as of this concert is a BS excuse. There is only 1 Maid left and she's not prominently featured in this video. There's practically no Maid imagery to be seen anywhere on stage, so what's the real deal. This issue about Maid Aesthetic carries no weight anymore.
Side Note: It was OK for Angus Young to dress as an English School Boy looking like a reanimated corpse at 70, David Lee Roth to look like a Rock n Roll Richard Simons, Steven Tyler to dress in Mumu's that he stole from Mrs. Roper's closet on Three's Company's and Ramstein to do their schtick on stage. Millions of fans don't even blink about that stuff.
But heaven forbid some women wear cute dresses on stage and represent a model of femininity, there goes the neighborhood. SMH Lame Excuses!
Mrs Roper 😂☠️
Spot fuckin on

There was another reaction channel recently that dissed the Maids for having silly costumes and "showing off". The reactor was a hardcore KISS fan. 🙄🙄🙄 I'd a million times rather see a beautiful, classy maid outfit on stage than another rocker grrrl who thinks being relevant means cosplaying a coked-out hooker.
I haven’t heard a band who consistently outperforms their studio tracks since early KISS.
Band Maid has found a niche for those who are refreshed by heavy rock instrumentation blended with cleaner vocals and uplifting choruses. It’s fun and makes you happy.
Band Maid will never appeal to the angst-driven fans of metal who prefer blood, leather, skulls and screaming about how angry they are at society.
A shame, really, because it’s those people who need some fun and happiness the most
This; bandmaid songs acknowledge that life has pain and disappointment but encourage pushing on and enjoying what you can (enjoyment wins the war) and taking responsibility for your own outlook; it's past the teenage angst stage that some rock gets stuck in. Bandmaid knows who they are and where they want to go; one can go along or not it's up to them.
Band-Maid isn't rebel, shit on society, angsty rock. It's uplifting feel good music.
This. Well stated. Band Maid has made rock and roll for me fun again
We all have different tastes. When listening to music, I try, the best I can of course, to ignore looks. I mean, the early videos with BAND-MAID they all wore much more maid outfits. Not my thing. But their music still was fantastic. So, I ignored it. Now they have honed it a bit. Miku still is pure maid and Akane sort of and the rest, nah, skip that! I like this. I really think Miku looks gorgeous in her maid outfit. I would kind of be sad if she also skipped it. But I would survive. Miku has good taste and will probably look good in anything she choose.
Talking about visual preferences, personally I dislike tattoos. But I still listen to and respect Dilana's opinions. Although I got a bit annoyed when Tatiana in Jinjer tattooed her throat. That actually looks horrible IMHO. And she is very beautiful. Something she destroyed there IMHO. But, I still listen to Jinjer.
Saiki isn't a rebel punk type tho. She's a fashionista, but ok, whatever. She didn't like the costumes or the imagery. She seemed offended by it in fact. And I feel she was looking at the imagery as some sort of male fantasy trope, as she kept calling it "French maid", which is indeed a whole different thing. French maids have a sexual factor to it, Japanese maids have a cuteness factor. I think her view may have influenced her judgement of the overall performance. At least that's my opinion. And she didn't like Saiki's voice?? 😶
If this was the 2018 Zepp concert then I could understand her point. Even Kanami didn't like how short her costume was. These latest ones are very far from French Maids
@@falconsooner Yes, the new costumes are even in steampunk style, I like it
I love the fact that they can dress in maid outfits and still look modest and classy - no appeal to sluttiness or any of the unfortunately normal western trash. This is sadly a skill that virtually all western female musicians have completely lost.
They're serious about rock and roll...not feminism and BS. The fans love them for being both humble and ridiculously talented rockers...no other agenda than the delivery of fine rockage to an appreciative crowd.
They walk the feminism walk, no need for the talk.
Manners, Domination, Freedom, Thrill, just to name few all push back on sexist BS. Nemophila, and Hanabie also are always pushing back. Japanese women seem to be fed up and it is showing in the music. Anger and passion tend led to great songs.
The value of women is deeply ingrained in their culture. The islands and their nation were created by the dawn goddess! That's not to say women haven't been oppressed. Conformity and oppression is the Japanese way!
@@surfingasongwave have you read the lyrics of saiki's "Hate?".? Japanese and Korean women are just not having it any more.
@@surfingasongwave „conformity and oppression is the Japanese way“ - says who? I don’t like the smell of a heavy bias in the morning.
Sneaker fetish = Saiki, Po! Btw, the "Fighting gear" is refined and artful (can be appreciated in any generation, i.e., 60's, 80's, 2024). Colors change with the seasons, but "Black and White" are forever, Po! 🦍🍌
Welcome, Dilana. You are embarking on (along with many others - nearly 200 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Shambles, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Sense, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): czcams.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/video.html)
And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. czcams.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:
ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” czcams.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/video.html
Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html

And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo
Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

Band-Maid Members:
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “StarQueen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 30 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen!
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 32 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 32 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more!
Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 33 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 31 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA!
Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans.

Thx, Dilana and Joel!
That's a ridiculously long comment for someone who will never listen to them again. They clearly weren't her jam.
@@billb.5183 You never know. Band-Maid has this magic thing that grows on people if they listen a few times. But even if she's out, someone else might read it and get something from my "long" comment. It's happened before. Thx, Billb!
I smell a tad bit of jealousy
I respect personal taste. I also admit that the vocals are outdone (note: not drowned out) by the instruments on this song mainly because you are indeed looking at the talent-overloaded trio of Kanami, MISA and Akane. Very unfair comparison, don't you think? I think Saiki more than holds her own on stage, but I guess we are all more familiar with her abilities than Dilana is.
I always consider the maid outfits an under-appreciated statement of rebellion. They _know_ some will associate it with an exploitation of a cosplay image, but it wasn't their management decide they should wear maid outfits, it was Miku's own inspiration (she had to convince the management in fact as I understand it, as well as Misa and Saiki). These days with their bespoke designed and not exactly traditional maid outfits it feels like a rebellious statement as in, "yeah, we know we'll get some stick for it, but the hell with it, this is us; we're a rock band, we wear what we want and we play whatever we want...we rock!"
Miku even used the maid image with her previous group, the idol trio Lil Cumin, at least for part of that group's lifespan.
So if Saiki wears sneakers they might be able to break out internationally and sell-out overseas venues?? I think we should break it to Dilana as gently as possible 🙂
The problem with Saiki and sneakers is which ones would she wear, she has a room fill of them. I personally think that Dilana just doesn't or couldn't make the link with the look and Japanese fashion/culture. Also, all rock does not have to be hard and heavy. But, as she stressed, personal taste.
Who is she again ?🙄
I’m a woman and as a woman, I just gotta say nowadays feminists just drive me nuts. That said, she’s absolutely entitled to her own opinion. Her Nightwish reaction was very enjoyable
👍BAND-MAID brings it. 🖖❤
Talk about judging a book by the cover.
I'm sure that Saiki and Mayu are losing lots of sleep over the absurd critiques of a singer that they and no one else has ever heard of. Or does she have a collab with Incubus coming out soon too?
It funny that she seems to not like Saiki cause she's not edgy enough when Saiki is probably the most aggressive in the band. Show her Hate and Rinne. One can be edgy without jumping around growling.
Oohhh, there's gonna be some hate here😂
😂😂😂I'm a huge fan of the Maids. No hate from me... PO!🕊 WORLD DOMINATION!!!🤘😆🤘
I had assumed some Hate? yes. But this one is just as good. The battle is more beautiful in this one and more fun in Hate?. IMHO?
I’m happy reading these fan comments because it highlights the kindness of Band Maid fans. They almost always are rooted in respect for other opinions. I have seen fans go harder after disrespecting members of their own community than anyone else
I get a little weary of the feminist tropes these days, but hate is a useless emotion
I 've never seen MadeCaff i n Japan. Over 10 years ago It was reported in the media as ,,,,.
For convenience Miku was working fseveral weeks in a stcenario/.
Stylist Reacts!
The funny thing to me was the idea that Band-Maid's music is a more mainstream style "as that's where the money is". The money in rock and metal these days is very much in going extreme rather than 'poppy' as melodic rock tends to get dismissively labelled. If she doesn't like Band-Maid, that's fine. It's probably just a shame that it seems like several reactions were recorded in one go, so that actual discussion was short, whereas given a bit more time, she might have put her points across a little less clumsily.
Band-Maid's garments are a strong repellant for vulgarity and narrow-minded people and that is a good thing.
🤷♂ - I suppose everyone's entitled to their opinion - even when it's wrong in so many ways !
Having said that at least I've heard of Band Maid - Dilana , not so much 😉
If there's one thing that never bothered me, it was Maids' clothes. If one day they decide to retire the costumes, that's ok, because what I like about them, a lot, is the sound they make. If it was because of the costume, I always found Kiss's, and I've found it since I discovered the band in the 70s, completely childish. But I was never bothered by that either, because I always liked the songs. For me, feminism is women wearing whatever they want to wear without being criticized and patrolled for it. If you want to wear high heels, that's fine. If she wants to wear booties, that's fine too, she's the one who chooses and no one has anything to do with it. When I met BM, I also thought Saiki's voice was weak for the band. But today I can't imagine the band continuing without her. The songs were made for her to sing, and if someone else did it in her place, it would seem like usurpation. With another singer, BM would have to be another band.
貴方たちの意見参考になります。
They're feminine but not feminist.
Just so everyone knows the Mods here strike unpopular comments
Probably because some of the overgrown children on here don't know how to keep it civil. You can disagree with her opinions without being a d*ck.
You should have played 'Hate?'. This isn't even the best LIVE version of this song. That version was taken off of CZcams ahead of a DVD release and can now only be seen on Bilibili.Though this version is a bit more energetic and technical, that version is far more dramatic. You have to go to the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert and it's the 9th song in.
Very narrow mind about the costumes considering her own image. Older women, pink her, covered in tatoos. She is wearing a uniform as much as the maids. Also disagree about her analysis of Saikis voice. Also apart from Miku non of the ladies costi=umes are very french maid like nowadays.
I don't get the vocals part. This song was the turning point of another reactor, who really enjoyed the growls Saiki out into this performance. She actually got more excited about Band-Maid because of this.
@@madsstavang Yes agreed, Saiki had a grit and rasp in her voice
Saiki also performs a song with her expressions; some get it, some don't.
@@madsstavangGot the feeling she already had her mind made up.
And she essentially looks like any other "metal" musician. How original...😉
MIKU'S IMAGINAI TIME IS WAY DIFFERENT THAN THE CONCEPT OF A FRENCH MAID BAND, IMO. BM SERVES THEIR FANS WITH THE SAME LOYALTY THAT "SAM GAMGEE" SERVED "FRODO BAGGINS".
Different strokes for different folks... maybe Black Hole would have been a better choice, but, like I said...
She hasn't seen Saikis sneaker collection yet :-) but serious, does she really complains about costumes and comes across as a walking cliché of a uniform rebel chick and exudes thereby a lot more conformity than Saiki in her black dress and heels. And on top of all a bit sugar-coated with the usual cultural ignorance. With their work ethos, their resilience against all adversity and the irrepressible will to achieve and maintain the freedom to do - and to wear - whatever they want, the 5 ladies of B-M embody 10 times more feminism and rebel spirit than many of the so called rebel girls here will ever achieve. And Saiki fits perfect to the musical concept of this band, but tastes are different. A Floor Jansen type of front woman wouldn't fit at all to the B-M sound - and I adore Floor, but in a symphonic band like Nightwish.
And there is the difference between US female rock bands and Japan female rock bands... aesthetics and the FU attitude as she mentioined.
Angst is overrated 😅
I´d always prefer the classy and decent japanese female musicians over the western female "rock chicks" who have to dress like hookers to get accepted in the scene.
Aren't French maid dress sexy ? Because Band-Maid doesn't dress like it.
Too bad some people can't get over the maid dresses .
Same people that only support beautiful people singing and not regular ones that could sing even better.... something in the same line.
But good news ..... Band-Maid keeps growing 💪🔥🤘
Maybe Saiki needs to flash her tattoos to get some respect from this person.
It didn't resonate with her. That's OK. Lovebites doesn't click with me. I still recognize their talent. She recognized Band-Maid's. On to Nemophila!
Glad Dilana doesn't like Band Maid. That would be an insult to Band Maid. By Dilana, whoever you are.
Joel, this may be your weakest guest till date. It's not about her not liking it, it is about her weak and frankly stupid arguments. Heels? Maid uniforms? Weak vocals? If somebody told her how to dress I am sure she would be pissed but now she is doing the same to them? I watched her reactions and to me she seems closed-minded and set in her ways.
Good taste - Love Bites and Hanabie are among my favorites too. Unlucky Morpheus is also more in that style. The rest is good, but not every song and many songs are too soft for me.
As I understand it, the reactor doesn’t like it in Band-Maid that all the frontmen are there with their own solos, she thinks that everyone should work for one singer...))
joel Please "The story of one sky: of Dimash
poppy, yes maybe. but mainstreamy? not so much. They're doing a lot of interesting stuff other than what's obvious. Anyways, bye.
Hey Dilana, tattoos are a huge turn off. I never heard of you. Band Maid is great.
