Yes cant go wrong with "Freedom"
Without bias, they are one of the best rhythm sections playing today, period! If bands were cars, _Band Maid_ would be a pink Nissan GT-R with a Hello Kitty graphic wrap. Cute and girly-looking, but with a mean snarl coming from under the hood. The snarl then grows to a roar, the tires start to scream and smoke, and it's off to the races.
Hahahahahaha. YES!
hah, great analogy
They should have B-M in the next Fast & Furious,featuring that car in a pink slip race. But which maid would drive it?
@@GaryHolloway-810 Miku of course
A pink R34!!
Miku really does an amazing job on rhythm guitar. She does not get enough credit for her playing. She really fills out the sound.
The scary thing is, these girls are still improving all the time. Saw a video of them screwing around at a live venue and MISA is learning to tap. On a 5 string Bass.
Yes their European Tour 2019 was very special with MISA and Kanami tapping at the beginning of "Clang" and not to forget Akanes drum solo in Bochum.
BAND-MAID simply has the 'extra something' no other band has that separates them from every other rock band.
That was once upon a time called the "it" factor. And you are right. Our ladies have it in abundance. Regards.
I had goosebumps when they played this song live at Islington last year. Almost screaming like a Beatles teen groupie.
Shoot, I get goosebumps just watching a Band-Maid MV for the fortieth time. I hope I don't pass out when I get to see them live.
@@chrisbergsten1429 Yes, expect a sore throat and lot muscle pain afterwards.
What a great night that was! I got to meet the band, show off my drawings of the Nov 2018 concert, took my daughter to see them for the first time (my fourth) and she loved them too.
@@philipebbrell2793 Parenting level expert.
@@philipcable7518 I was worried as Ed Sheeran is her favourite.
"Rinne" "Rinne" the best Band Maid...... have nice day
Akane shreddage "FREEDOM". A-chan is so talented she must have been born with drumsticks in her hands....I bet that was painful for her mum :)
Ouch :)
Nah, I hear she started out with a Trombone. Imagine being born with that, now that would've been painful.
@@johnlloyddy7016 LMAO. Holy crap that's gotta hurt!
@@GaryHolloway-810 But think of the sound.... "WHAT THE HELL IS COMING OUT OF ME?!"
@@one0nine Oh man that's funny. 🤣
6:07
Band Maid doesn't put a single unnecessary note to the composition of their music. That's why Akane's moment is so short, her contribution is as perfect as it is. Great reaction.
I had just run across the girls a couple days prior, watched every last official video on their channel multiple times, made my first iTunes purchase EVER (and first money spent on new music in DECADES) when I called up a friend of mine who had played guitar professionally in Japan back in the 90s. "Dude, I just found THE MOST AMAZING Japanese band! and they're all girls! and all dressed up li...." "Oh, you found Band-Maid, here, let me send you a link." He sent me ONSET. I think I cried.
I am really glad i found this band... They are so different and it´s really all about the music! I think you can send any of these women in an contest and they would all end up in TOP3 even against male legends, that´s how good they are in my opinion! I mean it´s the first time ever i heard only the music, had no clue what this band was singing about but it hooked me so hard that i cried, laughed and just was sitting there with an dropped jaw... Nice that you found Band-Maid too, it´s just the beginning... I saw two online-live concerts and i can assure you, even without post-production, they are AMAZING! Can´t wait to see them live on an concert in europe after this COVID!
@@Slippy6582 I've seen them live in person twice. I am really missing them this year. I am not sure they'll even be back next year with how badly the US has handled this crap. My friends in Japan and Taiwan report people there are taking this thing SO much more seriously than we in the US are.
@@jtdg5849 Misa and Akane said in a Japanese radio interview that they enjoyed listening to this band. Three Mexican sisters. czcams.com/video/yV8gpIrIR9s/video.html
@@TheUnderdogDe Yeah, I listen to The Warning too. And Misa praised RUIDO ROSA
czcams.com/video/fKuHzSAzJtY/video.html&lc=UgzgA49OGRLunJn0ghZ4AaABAg.94FqUW4LT8a9D0N-ocwdfL
Page will have you in floods...
It's mesmerizing seeing those slender almost fragile fingers grinding away on that bass, awesome artists
Yeah! Yhey don't look strong enough to bang a bass that hard. God bless the 'Barefoot Bass Assassin'.
Akane shreds on the drums in *Freedom* great drum solo and *Alone*
If you want drum solo "FREEDOM live" is the one for you, I have seen reactors just sit there, mouth open and not knowing what to say.
A certain MR EDDIE VAN HALEN would be impressed with KANAMI'S
tapping technique.
The music scene in JAPAN is just killing it, so much good stuff coming from the land of the rising sun.
The talent level is off the charts, These girls are flat out ROCK STARS. SHRED ON LADIES...
I´m not quite sure, if Eddie van Halen also started playing piano in childhood, just like Kanami. Maybe this helps to coordinate both hands and press the strings similar to the keys.
My little brag whenever I see a reaction to this vid.
I was lucky enough to be at the first public performance of this song. This show was at Zepp Tokyo on April 13, 2018. It was the last in a three-show mini-tour that started at Nagoya Diamond Hall (April 4, 2018) with Osaka Namba Hatch (4-6-2018) in the middle. I had planned a trip to Japan for that two-week period and managed to get tickets to the show. While I was waiting for the show, another guy from the USA came up and was talking to me; he had an extra ticket which he offered me. Show tickets in Japan are numbered, and he gave me #24 (I had #175 or so). So, I ended up being on the rail between Saiki and Kanami. Weirdly enough, I ran into a Japanese guy also on the rail who I had met the year before at the J-Pop Summit show.
In any case, Diamond Hall has a capacity of about 800, and I believe it was sold out. So, I was one of the first 800 people to get to see this performed live :)
Sweet!
BAND MAID / REAL EXISTENCE (April 13th, 2018)
.This Heavy hard rock on real.
BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Feb. 14th, 2020)
.Song is cool and drum it very good.
BAND-MAID / Blooming(MV).This guitar i think you hype.
BAND-MAID / 輪廻 ( RINNE )(MV).Heavy Metal!!
And etc. Thank you reaction band maid.
These girls are so connected as a group, the lead ,bass, drums. Wish they would play venues in America I would love it
They had a whirlwind tour last year of New York, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Los Angeles.
They were expected to play a festival here this summer and maybe more, and that was cancelled like so many other events. So we're hopeful they can return when it's considered safe.
Freedom live. Akane is finally shown for what she can really do. Everyone is all hype about Misa and Kanami, and they both are outstanding. Love them both, but Akane rules. She can keep up with both Misa shredding on one side and Kanami shredding on the other and her change ups and off beats match both perfectly. Her timing is impeccable. That combined with Miku's rhythm ties all the songs together. In my honest opinion, Akane and Miku deserve more credit. Its their work that allows the other two to shine. Freedom live....watch and enjoy.
Kanami is a bloody song writing musical genius. You can see why the other ladies in the band call her Sensei. When she's in her studio work mode. In interviews she plays like she's a bit of a ditzy airhead. Shes defiantly not that. She' loves writing music to show off the others talent. I have seen and heard a lot of bands since the 70's. I honestly don't think I can think of any better than this band right now. The talent level of this band is insanely. And what I love best about them. They truly love being and performing together. It really shows in their performance.
The perfect balance, not too simple, not too complex.
As good as all are, and i love the tapping melody, but Akane kills it with her fills and drumming style. For more drum shredding by Akane, watch Freedom live.
Well, yes... "Freedom live" for the drum solo. But really... Akane kills it throughout every song!
Agreed. Also check out Blooming or Choose Me if you want just some of the best grooving and beats you've heard yet.
Freedom, yes. But the Version from Feb.2020!! Great Solo from Akane. Of course not (never) long enough. She comes like a hurricane. But with a smile as if it were the easiest thing in the world☺
Bandmaid is a hardworking band in japan. Even if they are starting their debut so humble im teary eyed also of their stories and now they conquer the world😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❣️👍
Originally, Kanami played Addictone guitars but once she was
noticed, she’s been PRS all the way!
Kanami- PRS / Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier + 8 or 9
different pedals
Miku- Zemaitis Custom / EVH( EDDIE VAN HALEN ) stack + various pedals
MISA- Black Cloud custom 5 string bass / Orange stack
Akane- Drum Kit: Tama Star Bubinga, Snare Drum: Ludwig, Cymbals: Zildjian (left to right)
Oh by the way- JIMMY PAGE OF (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BAND-MAID, enough
said....
Is rock dead? Not in JAPAN it isn't my friends!!!!
They all deserve special mentions individually, but Lead Guitarist Kanami (as far as I know) is the one who comes up with the riffs and melodies - and every damn song has such a great style and sound because of it. Kanami is a musical genius.
Why haven't I heard of them before? This is great. Thanks!
Freedom live will give you your Akane drum solo fix :)
They are the best rock band on this planet today.
Misa is THE reason I gave this group a 2nd chance and Onset being the 3rd thing I heard from them is what turned me into a fan who will blindly buy an album to be surprised or disappointed by like when I was a kid. Thankfully it's all been good and that initial song I didn't like has since grown on me.
Calling my shot. You are going to lose your shit over Mincho's insane tapping and MISA's wicked pick to slap transition in her solo section. Ill find out if Im right in just under 2 hours. This group is the savior of hard rock and more people need to know sbout them.
I love that not one member/instrument over powers the rest... Sure, in this song the guitars are highlighted, but you never forget the bass and drums through the whole song.
If you want a drum solo then Freedom is the vid for you.
Can we talk about how amazing that mix is?!? It's amazing how clearly you can hear every one of these amazing musicians.
Yep. Especially that beautiful Zamaitis guitar of Miku's chugging away. So good to hear it nice & bright in the mix.
Great reaction....appreciate the thoughtful comments....to me this is a progressive rock band in the same space as Rush, in that they have a unique sound that is inherently Band Maid and they mix so many genres not only in their library but within the same songs, whether its rock, punk, metal, jazz, blues, pop whatever...one of the things you can do is listen to a song 5 times and focus on each member and find things that you missed and start really to appreciate each member in their own right...hard to pick favorites with a catalogue of 90 plus songs that are all good....I would say Freedom is a great song for Akanes solo, but many songs like Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Moratorium, and on and on....welcome to the Madiacs Army...saw them Oct 1st last year in LA best 16hour drive roundtrip I have ever had....cheers..
Freedom has the solo you’re looking for
They didn't invent rock and roll, but goddamn if they haven't perfected it. I'm almost angry that I didn't find out about them until February this year... a band THIS good, with THIS much talent, should be much more well known.
Really enjoyed your honest reactions - a lot of reaction videos seem somewhat trite, but when folks who really know music see BAND-MAID for the first time, they invariably come away with tears of joy and a huge smile. And that's probably what I love most about them - they're not only great, but they seem like genuinely good people. It's literally all about the music with these women, and it shows.
"Puzzle" live should be your next Band Maid video.
Is not in CZcams anymore
Freedom live Feb 14, 2020 is a must. This performance showcases their smile, interactions, and fun joyfulness on stage. Also, the beast runs wild on the drums in this performance. Akane keeps everything in rhythm.
Over a 100 comments already and guessing Freedom live has been mentioned a time or three (as it should be). From there maybe switch it up and review DAYDREAMING, which is a mid tempo sort of ballad that is simply phenomenal and a perfect testament to their musicianship, writing, and composition abilities. Then get back to kicking ass and review BLOOMING. Both videos are on their channel and you won't be disappointed.
And this is how 5 Japanese women saved rock and roll.
Yeah, those maids are scary good.
They're so solid individually, but what sets them apart for me is the overall sound (super powerful) and incredibly dynamic, much better than just quiet-loud-quiet. Their talent is evident in everything they do.
Check out their song "Play" Live
Will hop on the Freedom (live) bandwagon. And, from the same show, Play (live).
But for some contrast, find the MV for Thrill. It’s from very early in their career, and while their talent is there, it’s less refined, and you can see where they were in the beginning. Which was still very good.
I think your face pretty much says it all, they are astonoshing. Everyones saying Freedom for a reason, but other good ones to go through are Bubble, Puzzle, The None Fiction Days, Wonderland, Alone, Rinne/Reincarnation, Choose Me and The Dragon Cries.
Freedom live for a killer drum solo. Akane goes full drumzilla.
I get the "I'm speechless" part VERY much. I also get that you wanted to hear Akane's drums going solo a bit more... But hearing Band Maid and reading all the comments, I really believe that an amazing balance has been achieved! These ladies are STRONG in their musicianship as individuals, but in Band Maid they are ALL shining bright without obscuring each other, and that is something VERY HARD to achieve. So if you do get it right, don't go about messing with this chemistry!!!
Speechless is right. Like classic artists we worshipped at their altar of back in the day jumped into the bodies of these young ladies...
I am an old school rocker saw zepp in 76 and all the other greats i love JinJer and when i watch Band Maid i just have a perpetua l smile on my face just love these mega talented ladies so proud of them!!l
I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Daydreaming yet. There first ballad and it kills.
Still waiting on Chase to react to this too, but Band-Maid has an alter-ego April Fools band called Band Maiko where they cover their own songs with the addition of traditional Japanese instruments. Try reacting to Secret My Lips followed by the cover Secret Maiko Lips. Crazy showcase of their versatility.
Not just the traidional instruments, they change the lyrics to Kyoto-ben to match the whole Maiko-san aesthetic!
@@mdstreeter1460 apparently they throw in the Band-Maiko songs when they tour in Kyoto. ughhhh what I'd give to go there.
And they do it in the traditional costumes of the Maiko.
Maiko is a geisha in training. Their first tune in that style was one of their existing ones. The words of the most recent of their Band-Maiko tunes, written specifically for Band-Maiko, bring that home brutally: The cute Maiko thing is also dark humor/commentary on their society's traditional expectations of women if you get the lyrics.
Kyoto is also known for stories of supernatural happenings, hungry ghosts, monsters etc. It will be interesting to see if they incorporate that sometime too.
given that i'm not fluent in Japanese.. Saiki's voice is just another instrument in the mix. great thing is that even when she's singing, the band might pull back a bit, but there's still interesting stuff going on.
Freedom gives her a major drum solo ..
"Don't you tell me", "Daydreaming" and "Don't let me down" are some Band-Maid songs i really love
Freedom is my most favorite song of theirs, doesnt hurt Akane has a nice drum solo in it too!
Ok, FREEDOM is Akanes time to shine, in WONDERLAND it's Saikis turn. I also think that song is one of their most progressive. I highly recommend it!
I can't believe I missed this live, dammit! :-) I feel like this showcased BAND-MAID of 2017, but I think they're far better in 2020. They just keep getting better and tighter as a band, and never stop impressing me.
you could sit through 2 hrs and they will play1 hr 50 min and be just as smiley and energetic from the first song to the last. you can tell they enjoy playing.
They continue kicking my ass, I hope they come back to Austin, Dallas, SA, or Houston in 2024...I'll make the road trip!
What is most impressive other than their Top Notch musicianship is their masterful songwriting. Its one thing to be a great musician and another to apply that ability towards crafting a song that is uniquely their own. Songs that incorporate the best of Hard Rock, Metal, Funk, Punk and Pop. Their exceptional musical ability and talent allows them to Draw from a wide pallet in crafting their tracks. I have to say they are best active Hard Rock band in the world.
You would be hard pressed to find a better Bass & Drum combo than Misa & Akane, They lay a solid foundation to build upon. They are both Beasts on their respective instruments. As for track recommendations I would recommend the following tracks: Puzzle, Moritorium, Secret My Lips, Real Existence, Turn Me On, Alone, Take Me Higher, Blooming, Play, well I better stop there otherwise I would list every track they have created.
wanna see Akane drum? Freedom live is the way to go
I love the Maximum the Hormone background music at the end. My second favorite japanese band after the ladies.
A lot of people label this as J Rock but these girls rocks hard, they are all good musicians.
Akane will bring you to your knees in "Freedom", also "Wonderland" is a masterpiece from Shibuya; however, this song, Onset is from the show in Zepp Tokyo 2018...from that show try "Puzzle" - it will take your breath away, "Turn me On"...Misa will turn you on big time, amazing bass showcase, also - Play live from Zepp, again Misa and Akane; "Moratorium" - will stop your heart, 5 vs 6 string battle Misa vs Kanami in "Take Me Higher" and "Don't you tell Me"!!! You mentioned the production...have you noticed that big-ass chandelier on top of the stage???))) The list goes on and on!!! All live performances, don't waste your time watching the MV's)) There is one undeniable truth here - no matter what you do in life, there will be always 100lbs Japanese girls in maid costumes that can do it better than you...!!! They're making so many bands look bad, honestly, they are way too good to be true...
in here u can hear miku (zemaitis) and kanami (prs) playing lead in second chorus, it's rad... love if u wanna see freedrom live, but is nice to see u react to Music Video and then Live. there some MV that doesn't hv a Live Perform yet, like BLOOMING MV or RINNE (Reincarnation) MV. that MV was something
I agree with Jason’s comment below, if you want to see a longer drum solo by Akane Hirose look at Freedom - Band Maid and Akane’s drum demo (CZcams). DEFINITELY WORTH YOUR TIME - Killer!!!
Great reaction Tank, thanks for listening to our 5 angels , try Blooming MV next time, greetings from Brazil.
Freedom, Moratorium, Real Existence, Matchless Gum, Rinne (aka Reincarnation), The Dragon Cries, Daydreaming.. see if you can find the acoustic performances of a couple of songs, featuring just Saiki and Kanami from this same concert.. so beautiful. I can tell that you're as enamoured with them as everyone else. It just happens.. they have a chemistry that truly extends from their friendship. If you want (dare!? lol) to deepen your connection with them check out any of the silly social media clips and bits dotted about on the internet. Man, in the absence of normal live you need to grab a tea/coffee/chocolate of your choice and see a full dvd/bluray concert.
I've been eagerly awaiting a new reaction to Band Maid - you have a substantial musical background and your insights greatly add to my own knowledge of this incredible band - and yes, you've barely scratched the surface... Definitely Freedom live - also Play, Real Existance, Puzzle, and if you're lucky enough to find a copy online, their mind-numbing live version of "Moritorium"... and somewhere along the way you have to check out the MV for "Thrill" - their first big hit from 2014 when they were all in their early 20's and even then showing signs of the incredibly things to come... oh, and their "Blooming" MV - a must see.. and the dozens of others.... and then their alter-ego "Band-Maiku".... ok, that should get you through the rest of the year :)
I guess from the outro that you are already familiar with MAXIMUM THE HORMONE... for anyone who doesn't know them though, they are awesome.
Haha! I heard that, too! MTH is pretty great.
Great reaction...i love band maid...i love MIKU THE DREAMER WHO GAVE BAND MAID TO THE WORLD
"I can t live without you" is like getting run over by a pink tank
Here's my standard recommendation list for Band-Maid, minus the songs you've already heard:
Live:
BAND-MAID / Choose me (Feb. 14th, 2020)
BAND-MAID / FREEDOM (Feb. 14th, 2020)
BAND-MAID / Play (Feb. 14th, 2020)
BAND MAID / REAL EXISTENCE (April 13th, 2018)
Music Videos:
BAND-MAID / 輪廻 ( RINNE )
BAND-MAID / Blooming
Onset is Kanami's jam. She is the most musically talented of the group is almost concert level pianists. Her and Miku write most of the music and lyrics.
Outstanding musicians...Akane and her modest drum kit KILLIN IT!
I teared up when I saw your "Tank Fact" about Jimmy Page and Akane. Given that he used to play with arguably the greatest rock drummer of them all, that's one HELL of a compliment!
Hi Tank!!! Only one word to describe this performance, EXTRAORDINARY!! This band really rock!!!🤘🤘😀🇵🇷
Otro boricua fan de Band Maid? Increible! 😄🤘
By the way because almost no one seems to notice it during her solo, because she does it so incredibly seamlessly, but, at 4:36 MISA swaps from using her pick to slapping her bass by holding the pick in the crook of her index finger.
I actually think most everyone notices, which is why it isn’t brought up.
@@TankTheTech Really? Guess I'm just used to the non-musically inclined people I usually show the band to, as they never seem to notice lol. It is my favorite aspect of her playing, she regularly swaps between them mid-song and I just love it!
my favorite from the latest album is Blooming. Each girl just shines in that song.
If you wanna see Akane at her best, arguably, go watch their live performance of freedom. Dont know if youve seen it yet. If not, go check it out
THERE WE GO ! was about time :P
Akane may be the most versatile, talented, and creative drummer in the business right now.
Thanks bro!!! Next "FREEEDOM!!!"
As others have said, "Freedom", from February this year, will blow your socks off as well as your hat. It's one of my favourite songs and that is a fantastic performance.
I just discovered BAND-MAID myself in January of this year, and yeah, they are now one of my favourite bands. They are so good, and they all seem to be having so much fun, especially in some of the fan-cam uploads at smaller NA and Euro venues. I just adore them, and I hope they are making music together for a long, long time.
Want to see a real drum solo then watch band maid freedom - Stunning , these girls are no joke - Awesome performance ❤️❤️👍
Freedom live and blooming MV please! :D
One thing I appreciate about these girls is that as hard as they go, they don't overdo it. They all shred but they never get /too/ flashy and I love it. Kind of expanding on this, this is something I see from women musicians more often than men. Obviously this is a sweeping generalization but when a dude can shred he will go all the way all the time, never holding back, and that can be awesome but there's something to be said for pulling it back, too.
Everything these girls do absolutely fits with everything else going on in the song. They really show that you can take pure rock and roll and still innovate without going too prog. Which is perfectly fine, too, I love me some Rush, but there's something refreshing about the sound of Band-Maid that really draws me in.
Other people have probably mentioned them, too, but for another take on innovating modern rock you can't go wrong with Wagakki Band. Their blending of traditional Japanese music and rock/metal is nothing short of masterful. A very different experience from Band-Maid but well worth looking into, IMO.
I loved your reaction to them and you did some great research for the tank facts which I always appreciate You mentioned the song that I would suggest the most from one thing you mentioned during the song which is Freedom (live) from the Shibuya concert. Play (live) and Rinne (MV) I would also highly recommend and all are on their official YT page.. Great reaction to a great instrumental. Thanks Tank!
Great reaction and you're in for a GREAT ride. Band Maid is one of the best rock band ever, PERIOD. They write and arrange their songs, they're the total package. If you want to go on a journey I'd say start with Thrill, it's their first big hit BUT it was written for them when their label wouldn't let them write their songs. Then go check Alone, it was the first song the label let them perform that they wrote and arranged themselves. The contrast between the two video just showcases how talented they are when they're not held back. They've got more than 90 songs and any Band Maid fan will tell you that they're all good! My personal favorite is Yolo but My Secret Lips is pretty fantastic too. If you want something more accessible check out Blooming.
I grew up with rock and roll in the 50's and 60's and what they did here was done by most all rock bands, an instrumental to start off the show. It's been a lost art and it's not surprising that it's happening in Japan, as they have become the keepers of the flame in true rock and roll.
Really dig your reactions to these WONDERFUL LADIES....For every song I hear from them I want to tear up. At 66 years old you would think I would dismiss this type of music..NOT EVEN CLOSE....these LADIES are the best thing to happen to music since The Beatles...LOVE BAND-MAID
Finally more band maid! Check out freedom live next if you want to see more of Akane on drums also hearing maximum the hormone at the end was a nice surprise
Check out the live performance of “Freedom” from the same concert. The drummer really shines.
awesome man! this song actually blown my mind the first time. The drums was the first thing that immediately catch my attention and then after listening to Alone and Play i fell in love with the band
Great reaction! Band-Maid is special.
Same man same (meaning tears of joy when I first heard this)
BandMaid are the best progressive hard rock band in the world. All five women are virtuoso on their instruments. Kanami is an elite songwriter. Misa and Akane (I adore her) are the Goddesses of Rhythm. Saiki is an incredible vocalist. And Miku does everything else - and formed the band. Words can't express how grateful I am to have found them about three years ago. It was life-changing. Truth.
Recommendations? Rinne (MV), Blooming, Freedom (Live), Play (Live), Puzzle (both the regular and acoustic versions), Choose Me, Alone (MV), YOLO, Don't you Tell Me, Secret My Lips/Secret Maiko Lips (that one is a two-fer, but you need to watch them in that order). That should get you pretty far down the rabbit hole. Then there are the "ballad-ier" songs such as Daydreaming, Wonderland and Endless Story. Highly recommend you don't skip over those as they give you a good idea of the band's musical range.
BTW, since this was shot 2 years ago, there WAS a slight change in gear since the most current shows in 2020. Miku changed over from Marshall stack used in this show to the Peavy 5150 you mentioned seeing in the previous video. She also added a Zemaitis Flying V to her arsenal (which she uses when she has to switch tunings for certain songs). MISA also added a custom Black Cloud SG style 5 String, although the custom Black Beauty seen here is her main. Kanami really hasn't changed up her gear since this show was filmed. Also, they all have gone wireless for shows in Japan which gives them much more freedom of movement on the stage. If you look close, you'll see that they are still using full cables here.
YUP Band maid is todays best real rock band !!!!
Seeing your reactions is like introducing music to my friends. I get excited to see what you come out with
