Blooming is the perfect blend of punk, pop. rock, and {power} metal. This song can do no wrong for most people. Since you two are into metal, Rinne would be something you really like. Its their most metal song at the moment.
This is my favorite Band Maid song and the video that made me fall in love with them.
Kanami is not only an incredible guitar-virtuoso, but also the main composer and arranger of the band. This woman is an absolute genius!
And it's Kanami, the lead guitarist, who writes most of their material. The other guitarist, Miku, writes the lyrics. And everyone else just makes it happen so damn good. Tightest, bestest, badassest band in the world!
There are other tight bands in the world.
@@ChrisPage68 Oh, yeah. Like Jinjer, for instance. But as for a hard rock band, I can't think of a tighter band playing today. I've played in rock bands for decades and know what a tight band means. Take a listen to "Cross", for example. czcams.com/video/yQn4IMr56zY/video.html Of course, the best examples are from their latest online concert, which you can still get tickets for, BTW: bandmaid.tokyo/contents/376042 (for info and membership discount) or at zaiko.io/event/333406 After seeing this concert, to me, PageMonster, there is no tighter hard rock band that I know of.
Don't stop reacting to BAND-MAID & you won't be disappointed. I was hit by a freight train once, & found MISA was driving & I wasn't disappointed. (Just horribly injured)
I thought it was a passenger train?
@@crabuki1273 Well there was at least 1 person flying thru the air but I can't remember much after that :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 So it was a plane? Now I'm confused. :)
Oh, that explains a lot on how you become to be.... 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@bm4-life Yes thank you very much BM4L, tho you are funny :)
"That girl needs to rest her fingers" classic. Kanami, The Riff Goddess....
Kanami is so talented not only as a musician but as well as a composer. Her solos are so well placed and provides an extension of the lyrical song. You need to check out "RINNE" MV if you prefer the heavier side of Band-Maid. Also make sure to check out "onset" live instrumental.
At the end of that insane guitar solo - you find yourself running off a cliff, only to float gloriously in the beauty of those vocal harmonies. Oh, and as good as the guitarist is, she's also their main songwriter and is even better at that!
You see these girls dressed up, all nice and cute...
But then you hear them play hard and fast music!
It's intentional, in Japan they call it "the gap"'.
I honestly don't care for reaction videos. But this was BAND-MAID. And I kind of like seeing someone have the same reaction I had on 1st hearing. So kudos nice job.
For me, when they had less than 6 mv's, Happy to be there from the start...
These ladies have grown up a lot over the years. The other thing is they earned their right to start composing their own songs. You can really see how they have evolved since they were able to start composing their own songs.
The lead guitarist Kanami (Kah-Nah-Me) composes all the songs.
The rhythm guitar/backup vocals Miku (Me-Coo) writes all the lyrics PO!
Brilliant composition, brilliant musicianship, brilliant vocal harmonies, Band Maid is simply brilliant! Try Daydreaming or Secret my Lips next! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂
Every song will be better than the last because they just are even if they're not. It's band maid and they are awesome 🤘🤘🤘
MAND_MAID mops up the stage with other bands. It's always a clean sweep.
Band-Maid list of uobeat songs.
*Rinne (watch the MV not live)
*Real Existence (LIVE)
*Different (MV)
*Onset (Live Instrumental)
Sweet! Thank you for the list. We will be coming back to Band-Maid soon!
I would add Play Live, Freedom Live and Domination Live to the upbeat energy list but agree about Rinne and Real Existence Live
@@MatandChelsReact
The reason for not watching the live is because it’s a shortened version performed on a TV show.
There was a live version of Rinne I saw that absolutely rips! Of course it got taken down so I can’t link it to anyone.
@@peepinR Exactly that live is amazing!!
Band Maid = smile on face.... everytime!!!
I think you might be ready for Lovebites, all female, twin leads and seriously talented
They are genius Maids
Thrill was their first single and it was written for them. So you've basically seen the roots and what they have become
this song is a perfect example how amazing their drummer, bassist and lead guitarist work together.. its amazing how they fade into each other with unique transitions you only hear once in a song. also this song has imo the best vocal flow. the way misa started back into the heaviness after the breakdown... ♥ they didnt have power at start to do what they wanted , thats why thrill sounded so different. other people wanted them to sound like that. they later on had the ability to choose what their songs should sound like and they made a song about it "alone" which marks the point where they were independant and could write their own compositions. sry for my bad words. =p
Love this song...Actually, love all their songs. They are so good live also. So talented.
If you want to hear just a couple of kick butt album cuts (no video) off their World Domination album, check out "Fate" and "Honey", the title in Japanese characters. The instrumentals are worth the ride alone.
Great reaction! Rinne, Yolo, Moratorium, or any Band-Maid song! They are all that great!
*Holy Masterpiece! Batman,* _Yea this one is my favorite song of BAND-MAID it has everything_ 😎
👉 Akane: wicked drumming thru out the song.
👉 Kanami: insane guitar solo.
👉 Saiki / Miku: Vocal harmonizing.
👉 MISA: Bass breakdown.
👉 Breakdown section at the end.
*Blooming the gateway drug of BAND-MAID!!!*
My fave Mincho solo is from "Turn me on" closely followed by "RINNE". But they're all so good it's hard to choose (but it looks like I just did)🤦♂️
@@GaryHolloway-810 Love that solo too. Sounds very classic and has a very cool vibe to it. The way it starts and joins back into the song is buttery smooth as usual too, Kanami being here effortless self.
@@Dtagcity Totally agree. When mincho plays that solo it starts awesome & then suddenly changes to a classic scale which I never saw coming :)
BAND🎀MAID is:
💎vocals, "Saiki" {sa-ee-kee}💎rhythm/vocals, "Miku" {mee-koo}💎lead, "Kanami" {kah-nah-mee}
💎bass, "MISA" {mee-sa, mee-sa, mee-sa}💎drums, "Akane" {ah-ka-neh}
Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band.
Miku Kobato - mee-KOO - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine.
Kanami Tono - kah-NAH-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger.
Akane Hirose - ah-KAH-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have.
MISA - MEE-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work.
Saiki Atsumi - SAH-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl.
You can’t go wrong with this band ... totally recommend the following tracks:
All of them!
Thanks for keeping an open mind with them. Rinne(MV) Real Existence (Live) are great suggestions. Play (Live) and Onset (Live) are rocking tracks really show off their musicianship. If you like guitar solos and tapping then Onset is for you.
Answer to "How can you be a maid and burn the set down like that?" - BAND MAID calls it THE GAP! there's a gap between how someone appears and what they do, it draws attention. Some people find it attractive. Miku has said that was what she was going for.
Miku is the center pin to this band. That said she takes a back seat (willingly!) to the others. She came up with the idea for the band, got the band together - interesting story there - and does most of the MC work when they are on tour. When they come to the U.S. they are going to explode onto the scene. Especially if they do a tour like their LINE CUBE SHIBUYA concert.
that was a one of those infamous Kanami tsunamis ;)
Funny, I think this is one of the lighter of their harder rock songs
I am glad you guys keep giving Band-Maid a chance to grow on you and they will. When I was 14 years old I wanted a Van Halen album for my birthday and my mother thought it was devil music so she got me a Cheap Trick (Live at Budokan) album instead and at first I thought Cheap Trick was garbage because I was expecting Van Halen. I almost threw that album away and it eventually became one of my favorite bands of all time. :-)
Funny that you mentioned it...Band-Maid plays Budokan in February!!!👍🤘🤘🤘
I bought Cheap Trick "At budokan" when it was released, and still have it (and every different edition released). And knowing there will probably be a "Band-Maid At Budokan" live album or bluray one day ... shivers.
Kanami is a woman who knows rock well. As long as she is a band-made brain, she will succeed. The melody is pop J rock, but the background is completely hard rock. Bass and drums are the lifeline of this band. If it were a safe world this year, Band-Maid would have achieved world domination. Did you see the other two hours of online live?
This song or Dice is the one that I always tell people to start with when it comes to Band-Maid.
Or the live version of Play. Just a simple, get the crowd worked up song... that absolutely rocks out.
They really show their growth. Thrill was their initial breakout song. but they've evolved ever since. ;) they even went thru a pop rock phase too.
they've also released a song off their new album coming out in January called Afterlife(watch after Rinne?)
bandmaid.tokyo/contents/384822
I like your reactions. I recommend “onset” their official live video.
Thrill was their first MV, you got to see how much they have grown in 7 years.
You just main-lined the BAND-MAID gateway drug!
There's no escape for you now! \m/
I love Rinne too. super grungy speed rock. This song Blooming , playing skills and arranging talent is just FRIGHTENING, to say the least.
Chels..the lead singers name is Saiki..and the lead guitarist name for Mat, is Kaname...
Kanami - Lead Guitar
Saiki - Lead Vocal
Miku - Rythm Guitar and Vocals
MISA - Bass Guitar
Akane - Drums
@@IamStrangreen Akane.
@@GlennWH26 yeah, my phone and its auto correction 🤦♂️
To quote BM4life...
*tapping my foot and watching at the clock"
..while i wait i can mention songs like "Yolo" and"Alone" who has a similar groove!
Also a great liveband and you find official live as "Play", "Onset", "Domination" and "Freedom" (great drum solo by Akane btw)
'Wonderland' Live is an awesome song if you liked Saiki singing. I think you will really like that one. It's on their youtube page
In addition to Blooming and Different, the following are a few other songs from Band Maid that are on their harder side - Rinne, Real Existence, Glory, Domination, Screaming - Kanami does have a great solo in one of their power ballads called Daydreaming -
Numerous Other Great Rock Songs - Choose Me, Moratorium, Play, Onset, Yolo, Gion-Cho, Secret My Lips (Secret Maiko Lips), Freedom, Don't Let Me Down, Dice - Could list many more
Saiki and Miku's vocals sure go together well here, don't they?
You want two potential new Band-Maid favorite songs? Try "YOLO" and/or "Alone" next. :YOLO: has great performances by all the maids and "Alone" has Kanami's best (arguably) guitar solo. You loved "Blooming" so you will love these two.
Glad to see that they have 'clicked' with you. Since you obviously like their heavier side, +1 for Rinne (MV - no really good live versions are out yet), Moratorium -Live, Puzzle live, or Real Existence - live should all be right up your street so to speak.
You stated that "These girls have come a long way". That's why you start with Thrill!
FYI they did not write Thrill, their record company at the time rejected all of Kanami and Miku's songs.
The maid outfits are to create "The Gap" meaning the difference between what you see "demure maids" vs what you hear Hard Rock.
They write, arrange and produce their music. Knanmi (lead guitar) is the primary composer and Miku (Band Founder, rhythm guitar) is the primary lyricist. All members of the band contribute in the creation of the songs. MISA(bass), Akane(drum) and Saiki(vocals) worked as session/backing musicians and Saiki was a backing dancer prior to joining the band. They are superbly talented and professional musicians. The main reason they are the best Rock Band in the world right now!!
Remember no matter how good you think you play a musical instrument, there is a Japanese lady who plays better! (paraphrased&stolen)
You should checkout Miku and Kanami's review of Different by younggiutar magazine, Its on a limited time release.
Subscribed for the free cookie!
Just for a moment, forget they're all female and forget they're dressed as maids. Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained pianists and musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now.
OK, now that's explained, you can go back and marvel at how cute those outfits look and how incredibly beautiful all the band members are.
The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal. Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the DVD they released in April. FREEDOM: czcams.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/video.html , PLAY: czcams.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/video.html , CHOOSE ME: czcams.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/video.html ,
and WONDERLAND: czcams.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/video.html . PS - A nice close fan cam of Kanami, the lead guitarist, channeling Jimi Hendrix and her hero, Carlos Santana - totally in the zone! czcams.com/video/2bJXFFAqifU/video.html
They are great live! Check out Play from their 2/14/20 concert.
This is the song that should be the first intro to band maid period , it has everything 😎
Next up, check them live. You can't go wrong (no fr, you can't) , but Domination is the typical suggestion. Go on, fall down the rabbit hole, you know you wanna 😈
This song has my favorite solo from Kanami. It truly encompasses her full skill set. Chops, melodicism, and knowing when to call it good. Plus I think it'll make the outro solo come back into vogue.
Thrill was actually written for them and was just their way to get noticed. This one is all them.
They sound more like a hard rock band, with punk, metal and pop touches. Also with much feeling while growing up. Even their power ballads are awesome, full of musical arrangements.
Thrill is where they started for me and most others as well. It certainly gave them a rock direction that they simply didn't have until that point.
Glad you are still doing Band-Maid! just an FYI, get UBlock Origin for you browser to stop ads from popping up.
If you guys liked that solo, then you'd absolutely love their live instrumental Onset. You've got to react to that next.
if you wanna see the guitarists true talent check out onset live its an instrumental
At the least, seeing Thrill showed you where they started from, and how much they've improved. They're tremendous. Thank you for doing more BAND-MAID!
Yeah I just went back & listened to their "Thrill" reaction again. They weren't too taken with them at the time.
@@GaryHolloway-810 Yeah, that's fair. Thrill is a solid classic rock song, but I think a lot of it's initial charm for a lot of people was "wow cute girls who can play." And they could, they were really good. They're just so much better now, and the music they write is SO much better now.
@@crabuki1273 You're right it follows a more basic rock structure. I just heard on Vladimir Chupin's channel that he doesn't think foreigners will be allowed to travel to Japan for the Budokan Feb show. That's a bummer cos he has tickets but he said he's hoping for a live stream of the show :)
@@GaryHolloway-810 Oh that would SUCK to have the tix and not be able to go.
@@crabuki1273 I wanted to get tickets but with flights it was too expensive. I got a email from B-MTokyo tonight that tickets are ¥10,000. That works out at £71 for me & the list of stipulations regarding Corona means you're tested at the doors & if you have any hint of a fever or cough they won't let you in. That's a big chance to take even if you've got tickets :)
GIRLS ROCK!
Kanami is so awesome! 😻✌️🎸🎀
You should check out DICE (MV) next. 🙂🎲🔥
for me, this is their best song of them all - rockers non-stop WOW. 😃😍
The lead guitarist, Kanami, also composes most of their songs.
You guys should take a look at Rinne (MV) It will be another pelasent surprise for you. For Lives, you should try Onset (instrumental - Live), Play (Live). Peace out!
love your guys reactions
Great reaction guys! You guys should check out Ov Sacrament and Sincest by Infant Annhilator, and more Orbit Culture, either Open Eye or Nensha, which is the first song in a trilogy, Nensha, Rebirth, and The Shadowing. They all have videos, and tell a story, but you reacted to the finale first.
If you haven't seen The Daily Blab's videos "Hitler Defends His Love of Band Maid" and "Hitler's Told About Band Maid Conquering America" (both done in the style of the Hitler Parodies video series) yet, get on You Tube and watch them -- it will be worth your time!!!!!
Domination LIVE😎
Vulvodynia-psychosadistic design
You should check out onset live by band maid
Nice reaction. When you upload a video of Band-Maid, Band-Maid fans (thrown into the flames by Saiki) will gather from all over the world, like moths gathering on street lights. The conversation is interesting, but reading it all wastes valuable time, so sometimes listen to it while meditation like a "Zen" monk. LOL.
Thrill was when they were first starting out so they had little creative control. Now they compose, write and produce their music on their own for the most part. And this is the result. Keep reacting to them. You won’t regret it. Maybe Secret My Lips and Play (live) next? And then “Onset” official live. That, for me, is a masterpiece instrumental.
Check out Rinne and real Existence- their two heaviest songs
sorry for all the comments.......If you want to see how much fun they have on stage, check out 'Freedom"' live...includes a drum solo.
We love the comments, keep em coming! We will be back to them very soon 😊
If you want solo's, Love Bites Holy War live
I would recommend "Real Existence" Live Zepp !!! :)
I really like this on too, in no small part to the tight harmony interlude. If you haven't, you also might check out their instrumental tracks, "Onset" (older) and "Don't Be Long" (brand-new - written to help Miku practice playing fast, for Different). And the new album is on the horizon, in about a month! Good job, guys!
They didn't write Thrill, but once they started writing their own music they took off and never looked back. Miku doing back-up vocals and rhythm guitar is not just the founder of Band Maid, but the hidden jewel with her harmonies with Saiki, as demonstrated here on that breakdown after Kanami's guitar solo. The best rhythm section in rock today, IMHO, is Akane on drums and MISA on bass. Every member in this band is phenomenal.
Can't wait tell covid is done. And concerts come back because old rocker will do what is needed to see them.
The mv Alone is the 1st song that they had creative control a must hear . Puzzle live is 1 long guitar shred, There is no way they were able to use 1 set of drums in the mv Rinne .
hey guys nice reaction as always. check out BRAND OF SACRIFICE - DEMON KING pls
YES
Good. Glad your enjoying the ride!! 🤘🤘🤘
Nice reaction guys! Congratulations, you have just listened to my favorite BAND-MAID song 👏🏻
Can you please do a reaction to BAND-MAID's "CLANG" live at Zepp Tokyo 2018? There's no official video so you have to go on Vimeo and search "16 CLANG".
Oh and super cool Rick and Morty shirt btw 👌🏻
Have you heard "RINNE" or "Real Existence" yet?
Love it
They have come a long way since Thrill, but it was Thrill that gave them their break through - they were on the verge of breaking up, but because Thrill "exploded overnight", so to speak, it gave them the encouragement to continue. Thrill will always be a long time fan favorite. The have come such a long why since then, but every time I hear Thrill, I can't help smiling.
Now, as you know, Band-Maid are a ROCK band. They play the "sphere" of Rock music and all connecting genre's... Often in the same song. Check this out Puzzle Live www.bilibili.com/video/BV1n4411f7Do?from=search&seid=6227565914889757774 This is one of my favorite B-M songs. It rocks so well, heavy - yet not metal. For me this is Band-Maid.
Definitly check out these Songs by Bandmaid:
This one is really in the Metal direction: czcams.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/video.html
And this song right here is (in my opinion) has one of the best Vocalperformances from Saiki:
czcams.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/video.html
off topic but Ur very pretty! Woman with the white headphones :)
Kanami needs to rest her hands from that blistering solo that can never be matched for its skill and brilliance so she can blow away her first blistering solo performance with one that can never be matched for its skill and brilliance until Kanami plays her next song.
Kanami is a monster
Ive never heard this song before. Sounds good🤘🏼. You guys should react to some suicide silence if u haven't yet. A band u should check out is Seasons RVA. Theyre a local band. Keep iyup guys🤘🏼
Hi Wally! Bye Wally !
😂😂😂
Yall should check out abbie falls, no ones above. Another banger just like amphisbaena
We will definitely go back to Abby falls, and we will keep that song in mind 😊
Kate movie
Listen to Onset.
Aww man, still no Parting Soliloqui by Black Tongue! I gotta say I do prefer Babymetal over these guys, though.
🍪🍪🍪🤘
how can you be a maid when you burn the set down like that^^^^
