    1 thing you guys need to understand. Band Maid doesn't play just 1 genre, Band Maid IS a genre. They do pop, rock, hard Rock, metal, speed metal and punk. Sometimes all in the same song. Hands down one of the best bands on the planet.

    The two songs weren't next to each other in the set, hence the cut in between.
    Regarding 'Black Hole'. Its their fastest song (so far). Kanami (Lead guitar & composer) asked Akane how fast she could drum. Akane said around 190 bpm. So Kanami wrote Black Hole at 220 bpm! Then Akane went to work on the drum patterns for the song. She came up with 7 choices which she labelled
    1. Easy
    2. Comfortable
    3. Normal
    4. Possible if I work hard
    5. Tough
    6. Painful
    7. Hell
    The band chose Hell.
    They are on US tour October. Most dates sold out.
    Great reaction guys.

    Is there another band on the planet who can do two diametrically opposite rock songs? The maids are pure genius - pure 🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏼🤘🏼
    What’s next?
    Have you done “No God”?
    Warning?
    The Dragon Cries? (All English)
    Hibana?
    Fate?
    List of great songs go on and on…
    Rock On 🤘🏼

    Have no idea what they are saying but the first song is great! Man the bass is in command. Her voice is so good! Yeah the 2nd was much heavier. Love when they show their hands close up playing. 11:08-11:45ish.... Wow! Great musically!

      Manners is a narrative of their musical journey as a band to this point. Mainly English but with Saiki's accent you still need the lyrics. The MV of Manners is very artistic and loaded with symbolism; that is where the album picture of the hands with identical nails treatment is from. And it was physically all ten hands of the members mimicking plant growth...

    Thank you 502 for returning to Band-Maid. The groovy bluesy MANNERS is a bit of up to date old school Rock. Then the intense maniacal melodic controlled madness of BLACK HOLE with the Maids in total sync will astound all skeptics. Two great songs to add to the playlist. FYI - Manners was the 9th song of this streamed 2+ hour concert in May 2021 and they had the stamina and trust in each other to make Black Hole the 21st and next to last song. The Maids did 7 streamed concerts during the pandemic and will be touring the US in October 2022. See you there with the Awesome BAND-MAID. P.S. Be less stingy with the Maids. They have dozens and dozens of soul numbing rockers. Nick knows.

      OK 502. I think once a month is fair. Don't you? DOMINATION-LIVE or PLAY-LIVE. Or to bolster your playlist check out the MV's: WARNING, BLOOMING, RINNE or the essential power ballad DAYDREAMING. Ryan definitely listened ahead, he just won't tell you. Rules are made to be broken. Especially when it comes to Band-Maid. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎

      Replying to my reply. The Maids are in the States. They will be here the rest of the month. Let's pay tribute to this CURRENT Awesome Rock band with DOMINATION-LIVE before they go back to Japan to record some more awesome music. They dropped a new EP 2 weeks ago with another instantly awesome instrumental FROM NOW ON. Your soul tells you it's the right thing to do. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Seize the Moment and have a Hunky Dory Day!.

      Replying again to one of my replies that was replying to my comment. The Maids have finished their very successful sold out US tour and went back to Japan to open for Guns N Roses. They are now preparing for their first concert to open their 10 year anniversary in 2023. You can check out DOMINATION-LIVE which was performed just before the pandemic or their newest MV INFLUENCER which takes a tiny jab at the current influencer phenomenon. Their rockin' music doesn't stop for no one. Let's get back to the Awesomazing BAND-MAID before they retire. Have a Hunky-Dory day 502! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    "Manners" is one of the best, if not THE best pure rock songs ever produced. "Black Hole" is a genius level explosion of controlled, melodic CHAOS! Like you, when I first heard "Black Hole" I thought it was a filler tune to close out the AMAZING album Unseen World. Kinda like a "See what we can do?" mind-bender. I didn't think The Maids would actually attempt it live. It's too fast and crazy. Then I saw this video when it released and not only did they attempt it, they CRUSHED it! "Black Hole" is now one of my favorite songs. Both tunes are stunners because of COURSE they are! It's Band-Maid! Thanks guys! 🕊

    Nick has the best stank face ever. There was no audience at this streamed concert and as I said before MANNERS was the 9th song and BLACK HOLE was the 21st and Next To Last song. In fact the last song was FREEDOM and everyone came off the stage (except Akane of course) and was roaming around and mingling with the camera crew and sound and stage people while playing. What a fun band!!! Nick did I hear you say Band-Maid is not really catchy? For me they are the most catchy Hard Rock band ever to exist. For sure you need to get crackin' on their awesome 120+ song catalog to get that notion out of your mind. Every 4 months won't cut it. You'll never get your playlist stronger at that rate. Anyway, we'll be waiting for the quick turnaround with the Awesome BAND-MAID. Peace. 20.4

    Manners is their “Rock festival anthem” song, while Black Hole is Prog-Punk… a genre they’ve, perhaps, invented themselves. Of course we madiacs also like to say their genre is “Band Maid” as well. I can’t wait for the Maryland show in October!!!

    You hit on one a my favorite things about this band. Every song is different. I have been disappointed by too many bands that the first hearing was 'this is GREAT' and the fifth or sixth hearing turned into 'it's the same dam* song, again'.
    This is the only band I know today that every first listen is a completely fresh experience.
    As to the 'they took that one up a notch'... they have a few more notches in their belt than this, and all of them are awesome!

    Great reaction guys. Always enjoy your band-maid reactions, they are some of the best ones. All you guys have your own style and react differently throughout the songs. Miku was completely underrated in terms of what she adds to these songs even in her backup vocalist / rhythm guitarist role. She adds this energy and has excellent timing with Saiki when they rip off each other and also sing together. And just like all of the maids she has her own individual stage presence that I feel like is almost infectious, like she goes harder than anybody in the band and I guess that makes sense right since she basically runs the show with the band. Akanes drumming in both manners and black hole is outstanding, Manners is legit one of my favorite Band Maid songs along with Onset. I really appreciate that you gentlemen always do the live versions the same way I do my Band Maid Reactions. Keep on getting after it my friends!

    It's kind of sad watching the COVID Era online concerts with no audience, not that any BAND-MAID isn't joyous. Check out the OMV for 'Manners'. Kanami rarely sings, but she does sing. She leads a chant in one song and she does Miku's part in the acoustic version of 'Puzzle'. But if you liked 'Black Hole' check out 'Different'. It's similar. Or 'Rinne', it's like Thrash.

      Even Misa and Akane were persuaded to sing harmonies in the Christmas acoustic concert a rare treat, Page with all five of them harmonizing is sublime. All of them have beautiful voices but Akane and Misa explained in the commentary why they prefer not to sing ( the difficulty of the vocal melody contrasting with what they're playing basically). I'm sure that I have seen Misa picking up the slack and briefly sing backup vocals in a couple of live performances when she noticed that Miku's mike had cut out.

    Good to see y'all back to Band-Maid. I will be seeing them on October 21 in Dallas. I am looking forward to their show more than any I have seen in the last 8 years or so. I have written a (not very) short history of Band-Maid that I hope y'all find interesting.
    Band-Maid started from the brain of Miku Kobato in early 2013. She had been in an Idol trio that didn't catch on and like many Japanese girls trying to make it as an Idol singer, she worked in a Maid Cafe to make ends meet. When her trio fizzled out, she approached her label and suggested a band dressed like maids but who played hard rock. This was the same year Babymetal was blowing up in Japan (the nest year they would blow up worldwide). I have no doubt the Babymetal success helped with the label giving Miku the green light. At this time Miku was a pop singer that didn't play an instrument, yet wanted to form a rock band. Miku went on a talent search and found the CZcams channel of a singer songwriter guitarist named Kanami Tono. Miku was very impressed with Kanami and pitched the idea, maid outfits and all. Since Kanami preferred writing songs and playing guitar much more than singing, she agreed to join and even liked the maid outfit idea. Kanami also suggested they add a drummer named Akane Hirose, who Kanami had worked with before. Akane wasn't thrilled with maid outfits and had no desire to join an all girl group, but she respected Kanami a great deal so said yes. Akane had gone to school with a bass player named Misa and suggested her to Miku. Misa, however, didn't like the maid outfit part at all. After thinking about it for a day, she also said yes. Miku had her band.
    The label supplied a few songs and the band started playing. Miku discovered a big problem. She realized that she simply didn't have the voice to front a rock band with the caliber of musicians surrounding her. To her credit, Miku started looking for a lead singer. While at her Label's offices, she heard someone singing and was liked what she heard. The voice belonged to Saiki Atsumi who was a dancer and backup singer. Miku told her about the band (leaving out the maid outfit part) and asked Saiki to audition for the band. The audition went very well so the band invited her to join and told her about the maid outfits. Saiki disliked the maid outfit part more than Misa, but she really liked the band. She said yes.
    Band-Maid released their first album, cleverly titled Maid in Japan, on January 8, 2014. All the music and lyrics of the 8 song, 30 minute album were written by others. The mini album failed to chart at all in Japan. Their second album called New Beginning (9 songs and 33 minutes) released November 18, 2015 only reached #64 on the Japanese Oricon charts. Again all the music and lyrics were written by others. Two good things came out of that album though. The first was the music video for Thrill, the first song on the album. The music video was released the year prior to no fanfare at all. Band-Maid's small label was going to end the band and make Miku and Saiki a singing, dancing pop duo because New Beginning was not selling. Then suddenly western audiences discovered the music video of Thrill and Band-Maid exploded outside of Japan. The Thrill music video now has over 17 million views. Second, a sub-label of the giant Nippon Crown came calling and signed Band-Maid.
    Now with a new and bigger label, Band-Maid released Brand New Maid (8 songs, 31 minutes) on May 18, 2016. In addition a song by Kanami Tono was included on the album, with Miku and Saiki writing lyrics for the song and two others. The album reached #19 on the Oricon chart. Now Miku had a new problem, she didn't really know how to play guitar yet. On the albums, Kanami played her parts and in small concerts she just pretended (she was obviously just holding the guitar on the Thrill music video). In 2016, the new label was sending them on an overseas tour in front of crowds larger than they ever had in Japan. Lucky for Miku, she knew a very talented guitarist eager to teach her - Kanami Tono. Miku started finally to learn to play the guitar she had been holding. The 2016 tour was a success, especially in Europe. They also had a show in Seattle, Washington.
    On July 17, 2017, the album Just Bring It was released. With 13 songs it was by far the longest album (50 minutes). I also consider it the first true Band-Maid album. Kanami wrote 9 of the 13 songs and the lyrics on 11 songs were written by Miku and Saiki, primarily Miku. The album reached #16 on the Oricon charts. It also charted in the UK.
    On February 14, 2018, the band released World Domination (14 songs, 54 minutes). All the lyrics were written by Miku (except one cowritten by Saiki) and all songs were written by Kanami (3 she cowrote with non-band members). This album reached #9 in Japan and charted worldwide. It is my second favorite Band-Maid album.
    In 2019, Band-Maid returned to the United States but only four shows. On December 4, 2019, they released Conqueror (15 songs, 55 minutes). While they were working on Conqueror, they were contacted by Tony Visconti because he had heard them and wanted to produce a Band-Maid song. Kanami sent him one of her songs and assumed that he would changes. He did not. Tom Kenney wrote the lyrics and Miku and Saiki flew to New York to record the vocals. The song, The Dragon Cries, is the 11th track on the album.
    They were able to video a live concert in February 2020, before the pandemic shut things down. Videos from that performance have become very popular on CZcams. Sometime in 2020, Band-Maid changed labels, going from a sub-label of Nippon Crown to a Pony Canyon, a major label, On January 13, 2021, they released Unseen World (12 songs, 45 minutes). All the songs were written by Kanami and all lyrics by Miku. Unseen World is my favorite Band-Maid album and in my top 10 of last year. Kanami wrote the song Manners as a tribute to western classic rock. It is my favorite on the album and possibly one of my favorite songs of the last 20 years.

    So Japanese girl bands are on top of the rock genre across so many variants at the moment. For another example check out Lovebites who also , helpfully for us westerners write songs in English. Great starting point is always ‘Holy War’ or ‘Swan song’

Check live performances if you can. (Holy War is a live one btw) Oh and the Maids are touring the US (lucky bastards :D) get your tickets. They're almost sold out!

    It would indeed be neat if they did some transitions from one song to another, since as "BLACK HOLE" shows, they're already expert at brilliant transitions within a song. The Cars seamlessly connected all the songs on Side 2 of their first album and it was cool AF.

    While this is a solid performance of Manners it doesn't compare to live. I saw them this past Friday in NYC and my god was it amazing. Manners live was just incredible, the crowd was jump and singing along, it was just something else. Without an audience you just don't have the same energy and these women love to play live and bounce off the audience so well. It was smiles all around, on stage and in the crowd.

    Personally I think Black Hole is the greater work -- but Manners rates very highly. Black Hole is perfectly planned chaos -- a compositional masterpiece. You need to listen to it many times to drink in all its brilliant chaos.

      I think this version of Manners is better. The cool drum/bass intro does not exist in the MV, but most of all you can actually hear Miku's vocals, which you can't properly in the MV. Just my opinion. There is no MV for Black Hole.
