@@MikeandGinger Ginger - if you like Band-Maid, I recommend you try my favourite Japanese Metal band - LOVEBITES. They're also all-female, but they are heavier than Band-Maid. They also sing in English. This'll start you off on the right road: "Lovebites - Holy War Live @Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020" 🔥 🤘 ❤️
Japanese rock sometimes seen as a second rate music because it's often associated with anime, but hell people should see deeper because their music skills is no joke. Welcome to Band-Maid, and enjoy your journey!🤘 Try their song The Dragon Cries. It was composed by them with Tony Visconti and was written in english.
For me the best rockband on this planet today... Doesn´t matter what they are wearing, singing what so ever... They are making ROCK great again and they are very versatile!
Forget they're all female. Forget they're dressed as maids. Know that 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 yer 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. Real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals with not an autotune in sight. 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 same concert as this one is, which was released as a DVD in April. , PLAY: czcams.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/video.html , CHOOSE ME: czcams.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/video.html , DOMINATION: czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html and WONDERLAND: czcams.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/video.html , though they have superb music videos too and so maybe have a look at their first one, THRILL: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html .
They have a similar background as these girls and one of their fans said that they mentioned The Warning in a Japanese radio interview. czcams.com/video/GWNAtaspQNw/video.html
@@tonygriffin_ For sure they are more experienced and skilled but then again, they are not teenagers anymore and have a couple of years on The Warning. On the radio show, they were asked what band they enjoyed listening to, and answered The Warning. The Warning got signed in August and the manager of Lava/Republic Records ( _Universal Studios_ ) introduce them here: czcams.com/video/aqGta_0laaA/video.html
Ha, gotcha! Those ear-to-ear grins are exactly what I end up wearing every time I listen to them, and I've been into them for just over a year now. :-) You should definitely check out more of their stuff: you get a killer bass solo out of MISA on some tracks, Mike. What I love is that the novelty value of the outfits and the fact that they're all female ISN'T what they're selling: they are damned good musicians in their own right. It's funny watching 'technical' reactors (guitarists, vocal coaches, drummers) sit there with their mouths open... A few years back, Jimmy Page was in Japan and caught a Band Maid concert. He was so impressed by Akane's drumming that he asked to meet her backstage. She thought people were winding her up and took some convincing that it was actually real, but the photo's there to prove it. He compared her to John Bonham, which is high praise indeed. Miku (rythm guitar & backup vocals) was the one who came up with the idea for the band and put it together. She was working in a maid cafe in Tokyo where the girls had to do cute song and dance numbers for the customers, and it struck her that it would be funny if they broke into heavy rock instead. She found Kanami (lead guitar) via CZcams, Kanami had worked with Akane and Akane had gone to music school with MISA. Initially the idea was that Miku would sing lead, but after rehersals they decided that her voice wasn't strong enough and so they ran auditions and chose Sakai. Allegedly, they didn't tell her about the maid costumes until AFTER she'd signed on, and she was NOT impressed. MISA's apparently not keen on them either, which is why those two have gradually moved away from the classic maid look to the long black dresses over the years.
@@sahid3794 well in a couple of those clips from SHIBUYA MISA is standing behind a microphone stand. I don't know if she is just using it as a reference point on stage or iff she is starting to make some small contributions to the vocals. She was painfully shy and rarely spoke but her confidence has grown. She speaks more frequently during interviews and promotions and during the last round of promotions she actually did one by herself although it was a radio station sponsored by Sapporo beer. NEEDLESS to say she got quite drunk although the photo taken after the interview shows her to be in better shape than the guy interviewing her. Anyway it is possible that she can sing well enough to help out with backup vocals but was just not confident in front of a crowd. I will be watching very closely from now on.
@@stephenchigwidden7504 Read an interview with MISA a few days back and was surprised to learn she actually did vocals with her previous band. I think the talent is there but with two talented vocalists already (and her being very shy) that part of her skill-set may never be seen. It would be very interesting to see though...Band Maid fans would go bananas!
ENJOY the trip, These girls are the best thing to happen to rock music in the last ten year, maybe longer. They just keep getting better, but go back and watch their first video "Thrill" that really rocks and compare their newer stuff. They are amazing musicians and I can't help smiling when I see and hear them. Keep it up!
Mincho's favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana, so that might explain the 80s vibe. I love that they ae always having a blast playing with each other and for the crowd. Seeing Band-Maid live someday is very high on my bucket list!
Akane is a favorite drummer of Jimmy Page, when you see them gathering around the drummer or when Kaname is staring at Miku they are doing what they call "pulling faces" trying to make each other lose concentration and mess up
With 90+ songs in their catalog and MMR (Multi Maid Rock) as their genre, this song was not composed by them, but it is the song they play the most at concerts for having fun. www.setlist.fm/stats/bandmaid-33c79405.html I suggest that you check their very first video-Thrill-especially to see the evolution of their music and their battle armor (Maid outfit).
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook You're right! Forgot to mention that. It reminds me of t-shinji's post www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/hfc9mt/why_miku_is_a_great_lyricist
Freedom is about the struggle to be authentically yourself in a world trying to influence and control and box you in. But notice the positive tone in the performance - it's not whiney at all. It's coming more from a place of determination to triumph, of "I got this!" Miku's irrepressible philosophy. Best hard rock band on the planet. "Po!"

Band Maid is awesome! I just discovered them this past summer and they are now my favorite band. Their official music videos are good by they are better as a live band. Was lucky enough to discover them just in time to catch their show in NYC last year. Can't wait until concert can start again and they come back around. How about doing a reaction to Leo from Frog Leap Studios? He does hard rock/metal covers to all types of music. He even managed to metal out the "Pokemon" theme song and "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers. Anyone that can do that and do it well is the GOAT. Here is a link to his cover of Adele's "Hello" czcams.com/video/LtQUJMBH8uE/video.html
I’m always inspecting people’s faces Living while hide their emotions, it’s not cool Just enjoy, stories can only be lived once It is difficult to translate Japanese into English.

@@EbefrenRevo Kobato Miku changes Japanese to the music. The meaning is cool, but there are phrases that are difficult to hear and sing even for Japanese people. She is a wonderful lyricist with a unique talent for writing lyrics. And she says she expands her image of songwriting by watching movies or reading novels or manga that match what she wants to write . she is a very intelligent woman. (I'm sorry I'm not good at English.)
@@toshimatyu6654 Your English is fine. Idiomatic translation is very difficult. You either settle for awkward sentence structure but it still fits in the song or a more accurate translation that is now an explanation that doesn't fit well into the structure of the song. Examples: an awkward translation that fits is "Why are tears overflowing down?" When a better translation is why am l crying (over you). Or Secret My Lips which really means Give me a reason to remain silent or even why should l keep my mouth shut. Musixmatch on the web has some good translations. Regards.
Akane: The happiest drummer in the world! Band-Maid is just awesome. Keep listening. You won`t regret a second of their music. Band-Maid: Stay strong and Play long! A band-Maidiac.
Band-Maid is based on the Maid Cafés attire. The employee's uniforms. And these days only three of them still wear a form of the uniform where Miku was employed as a waitress. The back story on this band defies belief. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
I've been a fan of Band Maid for a couple of years now. For another reaction video, you might try Wagakki Band who incorporate traditional Japanese instruments.
The girls like to play tricks on each other while performing like trying to throw drummer Akane's timing off ( which seems to be impossible) or rp[lacing the beer in Mishia's can with straight water.
Don’t discount the ladies because they’re wearing maid outfits. Misa on bass,Kanami on drums,Akane on drums are superb musicians. World class. Saiki has a unique voice (1 American said like a church singer..uhh???..no!) and Miku is the leader and formed and introduced the concept. Good marketing. She learnt rhythm guitar in the formative years from Kanami..(look at Thrill). Personality and entertainer. Everyone loves Misa. Her solos along with Kanami who composes the music are something else. If you listen to more songs,you’ll appreciate how talented they really are. Onset live is brilliant musically (has a U2 vibe in parts). Very atmospheric with great lighting. Listen to any other live songs. Real existence,Play,Don’t you tell me. Kanami has unique way of utilising many genres in 1 song. The Maids are one of the best bands today and what’s more they are so happy and playful on stage and the interaction with the fans is priceless. Gigs in New York,Dallas and LA wooed the crowd last year. Japan and Asia are producing some of the best musicians in particular female talent which has exploded in the last decade. Incredible emerging stars in prodigies in guitarists and drummers.Lisa X on guitar,Yoyoka at 10 on drums has multi sponsorships,appearing on the Ellen show twice,presented at NAMM 2020 in LA and performed in solos with touring international acts. Check out Petty Rock from Thailand who at 10 is one of the great guitarists Look at Burn live earlier this year. Cool stage performer who started playing in Thailand bars at 6. Seen to be believed.The best 7 year old.Indonesia has Ayu Gustfaz,a brilliant young teenage guitarist. The Maids though are the best young female talent. Many bands can’t reproduce their studio efforts live but the Maids far exceed that live. Start with Onset live in 2018. Has a hypnotic feel with amazing tapping from Kanami and very different interludes. If you truly appreciate good musicianship,you have to listen to more Band Maid. You won’t be disappointed.
You have been assimilated into the BAND-MAID Collective. Resistance Is Futile! 😎🤘 The Pigeon Hole is deep... and you have miles to go before you sleep!

Nice reaction. They are high skilled and so talented. They know hard rock well. And there is another all female Japanese band, " LOVEBATES " they are power metal band, but they can play many kind of hardrock/metal songs. Power metal, thrash metal, prog metal, blues hard rock, ballad. Please try them. 😄👍
Watch ONSET from Zep Tokyo. It's an instrumental and will really demonstrate what they are capable of. Any song you listen to is good. I'm almost 69 and Band Maid is the best rock band I've seen in many decades. Don't judge these ladies on this single song. They slide through a lot of genres and can get light or heavy. If you want a real banger listen to Rinne )Reincarnation). Don't look at the live version as it was done for TV and they really chopped it down for time. Watch the MV.
@@MikeandGinger They were originally formed by Miku, the rhythm GTR. They're not a corporate creation and everything they do, especially live, is of the highest quality.
The Drummer Akane was picked out by Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) as one of the greatest drummers he has ever heard, she thought the band was messing with until Jimmy asked for a selfie with her.
Not Anime gals .. not a gimmick .. 5 amazingly talented female Musicians that are the real deal .. best hard rock band existing at the moment... it's a shame you had to throw stereotypes at them before you even know anything about them.
From Japan Recommended band, A female band that was expected but stopped playing. FERN PLANET [Soldier Girls] (Official Music Video) Probably the most popular N0,1 female band in Japan SCANDAL [Girl S] This is the song when she made her debut in high school.

Welcome aboard, Mike & Ginger. You are embarking on (along with many others - 90 million YT hits!) an awesome 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 Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with over 30 well produced music videos. czcams.com/users/BANDMAID Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: czcams.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/video.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: czcams.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/video.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: czcams.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/video.html. 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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.). Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience. Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Naw-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 29 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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!
Mmm I think they are not used to this style of music, Europe and Japan they have the best metal bands, another excelent Japanese female metal Band is Lovebites pure power metal more agresive. And the best metal singer in the entire world is Floor Jansen by Nightwish
Try watching this without smiling, but they are so much more than just some quite maids rocking.

I’m super-excited! We’re really enjoying them so far! -G
Definitely play Band-Maid again. These girls have mastered the art of rock 'n roll.
For me the best rockband on this planet today... Doesn´t matter what they are wearing, singing what so ever... They are making ROCK great again and they are very versatile!
Band Maid is a hard rock Japanese band with seriously talented musicians.
Forget they're all female. Forget they're dressed as maids. Know that 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 yer 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. Real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals with not an autotune in sight. 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 same concert as this one is, which was released as a DVD in April. , PLAY: czcams.com/video/3LxX_t4vg7U/video.html , CHOOSE ME: czcams.com/video/HcqitbXgigU/video.html , DOMINATION: czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html and WONDERLAND: czcams.com/video/x4hxLeHbqZo/video.html , though they have superb music videos too and so maybe have a look at their first one, THRILL: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html .
I agree. They are the best rock band on the planet. The fact that they are all stunning beautiful is just an added bonus.
They have a similar background as these girls and one of their fans said that they mentioned The Warning in a Japanese radio interview. czcams.com/video/GWNAtaspQNw/video.html
What Anthony said! Yes!
@@TheUnderdogDe It was probably a warning not to compare The Warning to them, as Band-Maid are infinitely better!
@@tonygriffin_ For sure they are more experienced and skilled but then again, they are not teenagers anymore and have a couple of years on The Warning.
On the radio show, they were asked what band they enjoyed listening to, and answered The Warning.
The Warning got signed in August and the manager of Lava/Republic Records ( _Universal Studios_ ) introduce them here: czcams.com/video/aqGta_0laaA/video.html
Ha, gotcha! Those ear-to-ear grins are exactly what I end up wearing every time I listen to them, and I've been into them for just over a year now. :-) You should definitely check out more of their stuff: you get a killer bass solo out of MISA on some tracks, Mike. What I love is that the novelty value of the outfits and the fact that they're all female ISN'T what they're selling: they are damned good musicians in their own right. It's funny watching 'technical' reactors (guitarists, vocal coaches, drummers) sit there with their mouths open...
A few years back, Jimmy Page was in Japan and caught a Band Maid concert. He was so impressed by Akane's drumming that he asked to meet her backstage. She thought people were winding her up and took some convincing that it was actually real, but the photo's there to prove it. He compared her to John Bonham, which is high praise indeed.
Miku (rythm guitar & backup vocals) was the one who came up with the idea for the band and put it together. She was working in a maid cafe in Tokyo where the girls had to do cute song and dance numbers for the customers, and it struck her that it would be funny if they broke into heavy rock instead. She found Kanami (lead guitar) via CZcams, Kanami had worked with Akane and Akane had gone to music school with MISA. Initially the idea was that Miku would sing lead, but after rehersals they decided that her voice wasn't strong enough and so they ran auditions and chose Sakai. Allegedly, they didn't tell her about the maid costumes until AFTER she'd signed on, and she was NOT impressed. MISA's apparently not keen on them either, which is why those two have gradually moved away from the classic maid look to the long black dresses over the years.
Misa (rhythm guitar and backup vocals)🤔 You mean… Miku, right?
Definitely rocking! -G
@@sahid3794 Yep, spot-on. Straight-up typo on my part. I thought I'd fixed it before anyone saw it, but you're too quick! :-)
@@sahid3794 well in a couple of those clips from SHIBUYA MISA is standing behind a microphone stand. I don't know if she is just using it as a reference point on stage or iff she is starting to make some small contributions to the vocals. She was painfully shy and rarely spoke but her confidence has grown. She speaks more frequently during interviews and promotions and during the last round of promotions she actually did one by herself although it was a radio station sponsored by Sapporo beer. NEEDLESS to say she got quite drunk although the photo taken after the interview shows her to be in better shape than the guy interviewing her. Anyway it is possible that she can sing well enough to help out with backup vocals but was just not confident in front of a crowd. I will be watching very closely from now on.
@@stephenchigwidden7504 Read an interview with MISA a few days back and was surprised to learn she actually did vocals with her previous band. I think the talent is there but with two talented vocalists already (and her being very shy) that part of her skill-set may never be seen. It would be very interesting to see though...Band Maid fans would go bananas!
ENJOY the trip, These girls are the best thing to happen to rock music in the last ten year, maybe longer. They just keep getting better, but go back and watch their first video "Thrill" that really rocks and compare their newer stuff. They are amazing musicians and I can't help smiling when I see and hear them. Keep it up!
Mincho's favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana, so that might explain the 80s vibe. I love that they ae always having a blast playing with each other and for the crowd. Seeing Band-Maid live someday is very high on my bucket list!
Akane is a favorite drummer of Jimmy Page, when you see them gathering around the drummer or when Kaname is staring at Miku they are doing what they call "pulling faces" trying to make each other lose concentration and mess up
With 90+ songs in their catalog and MMR (Multi Maid Rock) as their genre, this song was not composed by them, but it is the song they play the most at concerts for having fun.
www.setlist.fm/stats/bandmaid-33c79405.html
I suggest that you check their very first video-Thrill-especially to see the evolution of their music and their battle armor (Maid outfit).
Awesome! Thank you ❤️ - G
Not composed by them correct but Miku did do the lyrics
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook You're right! Forgot to mention that.
It reminds me of t-shinji's post

@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook Dave you are becoming a BAND MAID expert.
@@stephenchigwidden7504 just trying to keep up with the Pack
Freedom is about the struggle to be authentically yourself in a world trying to influence and control and box you in. But notice the positive tone in the performance - it's not whiney at all. It's coming more from a place of determination to triumph, of "I got this!"
Miku's irrepressible philosophy.

@@MikeandGinger Thank you and good luck on your channel hope you all the success in the world in finding great music and band to enjoy.
Band Maid and Baby Metal are both incredible. Great music like Nightwish. Mika on bass, and Kanami on guitar are both incredible.
Band Maid is awesome! I just discovered them this past summer and they are now my favorite band. Their official music videos are good by they are better as a live band. Was lucky enough to discover them just in time to catch their show in NYC last year. Can't wait until concert can start again and they come back around. How about doing a reaction to Leo from Frog Leap Studios? He does hard rock/metal covers to all types of music. He even managed to metal out the "Pokemon" theme song and "Sucker" by the Jonas Brothers. Anyone that can do that and do it well is the GOAT. Here is a link to his cover of Adele's "Hello" czcams.com/video/LtQUJMBH8uE/video.html
I've seen a couple by Leo. Sultans of Swing is probably my favourite so far. -M
@@MikeandGinger that's a good one. To me he even made AC/DC "Thunderstruck" sound a bit heavier.
5:04 good point right there mate, i agree... not only in this one, but in all Band Maid's songs!
Considering how Crue and Ratt dressed in the early 80's at their shows at the Whiskey in LA, can we be sure they never showed up dressed as maids? LUL
No. No we can not. :) -M
I’m always inspecting people’s faces
Living while hide their emotions, it’s not cool
Just enjoy, stories can only be lived once
It is difficult to translate Japanese into English.
I feel that there are some differences in nuances.
Original Lyrics : Kobato Miku
Music : Iguchi Ichiro
FREEDOM
English Translation / English Lyrics
Agreeing, I nod to there and over there
I know compatibility and charm, as if I knew
At such worst convenience, I can’t see it, I don’t care
Bye bye bye
I’m always inspecting people’s faces
Living while hide their emotions, it’s not cool
Just enjoy, stories can only be lived once
Get out (of) my way! my way! my way!
My impulse, it’s showing off
Back off! go (a)way! go (a)way! go (a)way!
Do love me as much
Those moments can’t be reset
Impatient, I broke down struggling, connecting to live life
Like to be a freedom
Jealousy and prejudice, distorted emotions
No choice but to lie 1.2.3.4.
It’s all oblivious, laugh and being laughed
lie lie lie
Deceiving and dressing up
That sweet fruit, I can’t attain it right now
Naked, I plunged in and go surfing
Get out (of) my way! my way! my way!
My disturbed emotions
Back off! go (a)way! go (a)way! go (a)way!
Embrace me with your heart’s content
Those moments can’t be reset
Impatient, I broke down struggling, connect to the future
Like to be a freedom
I’m always inspecting people’s faces
Living while hide their emotions, it’s not cool
Just enjoy, stories can only be lived once
Get out (of) my way! my way! my way!
My impulse, it’s showing off
Back off! go (a)way! go (a)way! go (a)way!
Do love me as much
These moments won’t ever return again
Impatient, I broke down struggling, connecting to live life
Get out (of) my way! my way! my way!
My disturbed emotions
Back off! go (a)way! go (a)way! go (a)way!
Embrace me with your heart’s content
Those moments can’t be reset
Impatient, I broke down struggling, connect to the future
Like to be a freedom
I never thought japanese language would be so good for rock. Its very compatible.
@@EbefrenRevo Kobato Miku changes Japanese to the music.
The meaning is cool, but there are phrases that are difficult to hear and sing even for Japanese people.
She is a wonderful lyricist with a unique talent for writing lyrics.
And she says she expands her image of songwriting by watching movies or reading novels or manga that match what she wants to write . she is a very intelligent woman.
(I'm sorry I'm not good at English.)
@@toshimatyu6654 Your English is fine. Idiomatic translation is very difficult. You either settle for awkward sentence structure but it still fits in the song or a more accurate translation that is now an explanation that doesn't fit well into the structure of the song. Examples: an awkward translation that fits is "Why are tears overflowing down?" When a better translation is why am l crying (over you). Or Secret My Lips which really means Give me a reason to remain silent or even why should l keep my mouth shut. Musixmatch on the web has some good translations. Regards.
Yeah they can get the crowd going. About 90% of their 2 hour concerts are at this every level, pace and intensity.
Akane: The happiest drummer in the world! Band-Maid is just awesome. Keep listening. You won`t regret a second of their music. Band-Maid: Stay strong and Play long! A band-Maidiac.
Band-Maid is based on the Maid Cafés attire. The employee's uniforms. And these days only three of them still wear a form of the uniform where Miku was employed as a waitress. The back story on this band defies belief. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.
What a great origin story! -M
That was a great wholesome reaction :)
I don't know if anyone has ever called Ginger wholesome before. ;) -M
I've been a fan of Band Maid for a couple of years now.
For another reaction video, you might try Wagakki Band who incorporate traditional Japanese instruments.
They're adorable right up until they punch you in the face with bad ass rock-n-roll. :-D
Exactly as it should be! -M
Good to see someone finally noticed the best duck lips ever great reaction and as always may the maids be with you ( dude chill )
Thank you! -M
The girls like to play tricks on each other while performing like trying to throw drummer Akane's timing off ( which seems to be impossible) or rp[lacing the beer in Mishia's can with straight water.
Top of the list performers out of Japan! Fun from the first chord.
Don’t discount the ladies because they’re wearing maid outfits. Misa on bass,Kanami on drums,Akane on drums are superb musicians. World class. Saiki has a unique voice (1 American said like a church singer..uhh???..no!) and Miku is the leader and formed and introduced the concept. Good marketing. She learnt rhythm guitar in the formative years from Kanami..(look at Thrill). Personality and entertainer. Everyone loves Misa. Her solos along with Kanami who composes the music are something else. If you listen to more songs,you’ll appreciate how talented they really are. Onset live is brilliant musically (has a U2 vibe in parts). Very atmospheric with great lighting. Listen to any other live songs. Real existence,Play,Don’t you tell me. Kanami has unique way of utilising many genres in 1 song. The Maids are one of the best bands today and what’s more they are so happy and playful on stage and the interaction with the fans is priceless. Gigs in New York,Dallas and LA wooed the crowd last year. Japan and Asia are producing some of the best musicians in particular female talent which has exploded in the last decade. Incredible emerging stars in prodigies in guitarists and drummers.Lisa X on guitar,Yoyoka at 10 on drums has multi sponsorships,appearing on the Ellen show twice,presented at NAMM 2020 in LA and performed in solos with touring international acts. Check out Petty Rock from Thailand who at 10 is one of the great guitarists Look at Burn live earlier this year. Cool stage performer who started playing in Thailand bars at 6. Seen to be believed.The best 7 year old.Indonesia has Ayu Gustfaz,a brilliant young teenage guitarist.
The Maids though are the best young female talent. Many bands can’t reproduce their studio efforts live but the Maids far exceed that live.
Start with Onset live in 2018. Has a hypnotic feel with amazing tapping from Kanami and very different interludes. If you truly appreciate good musicianship,you have to listen to more Band Maid. You won’t be disappointed.
MISA MISA MISA!
AKANE! AKANE! AKANE!

Sounds like that might be interesting. Thanks for the tip! -M
BLOOMING, PLAY, Choose Me, Dont Let Me Down, Wonderland, matchless GUM, THRILL!!!!!!
Hi M&G. I've always thought BAND-MAID's 'MUSIC' was the best part of them. But their antics on stage do come a close second :)
What an old post :p .
Nice reaction.
They are high skilled and so talented. They know hard rock well. And there is another all female Japanese band, " LOVEBATES " they are power metal band, but they can play many kind of hardrock/metal songs. Power metal, thrash metal, prog metal, blues hard rock, ballad. Please try them. 😄👍
Thanks, and we'll take a look. -M
Watch ONSET from Zep Tokyo. It's an instrumental and will really demonstrate what they are capable of. Any song you listen to is good. I'm almost 69 and Band Maid is the best rock band I've seen in many decades. Don't judge these ladies on this single song. They slide through a lot of genres and can get light or heavy. If you want a real banger listen to Rinne )Reincarnation). Don't look at the live version as it was done for TV and they really chopped it down for time. Watch the MV.
Will check it out! Thank you 😁 - G
@@MikeandGinger They were originally formed by Miku, the rhythm GTR. They're not a corporate creation and everything they do, especially live, is of the highest quality.
No Anime, only pure rock.
Well, DIFFERENT is used as the opening theme for season... 3(?) of Log Horizon....
The Drummer Akane was picked out by Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) as one of the greatest drummers he has ever heard, she thought the band was messing with until Jimmy asked for a selfie with her.
The song is very simplistic with a pretty standard structure to it. However they do it very well and look like they are having a blast
The best band on the planet. Misa, the barefoot assassin on bass just brings it!
Wagakki Band - Homura (和楽器バンド)
Only about another 90 songs to go try DOMINATION from the same concert in SHIBUYA and of course DICE . lots to do.
Not Anime gals .. not a gimmick .. 5 amazingly talented female Musicians that are the real deal .. best hard rock band existing at the moment... it's a shame you had to throw stereotypes at them before you even know anything about them.
More a look or an angle than a gimmick, and there's not a thing wrong with that when you can back it up like these ladies do! -M
Jimmy Page was at their concert. And after show he asked to meet drummer ect. He made comment about the drummer is reincarnation Bohmen
From Japan
Recommended band,
A female band that was expected but stopped playing.
FERN PLANET [Soldier Girls] (Official Music Video)
Probably the most popular N0,1 female band in Japan
SCANDAL [Girl S] This is the song when she made her debut in high school.
Thanks for the tips! -M
Something you might like to check out is a Rock Band from Monterrey MX - The Warning (Now signed with Lava Records)
This impressive trio of sisters - Daniela 20 (guitar, piano and vocals), Paulina 18 (drums, piano and vocals), and Alejandra 15 (bass, piano and vocals), have elaborate musical affinities. They have participated in some of the most important rock festivals in Mexico such as Vive Latino, Hell & Heaven, Mother of All, Pal Norte, Force Fest and Rock al Parque in Colombia. They have also opened for Def Leopard (2 nights) & The Killers (2 nights)
It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page czcams.com/users/thewarningplaylists
Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote the albums
Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert

Have a great day.
Welcome aboard, Mike & Ginger. You are embarking on (along with many others - 90 million YT hits!) an awesome 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 Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Consistency (nearly 100 songs with new album, “Conqueror”), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destine 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 50 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html Their later songs drive even more - Rin’ne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, 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, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE and Smile... or more punky like Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series! And many are represented with over 30 well produced music videos. czcams.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE concerts such as Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids. Here’s three of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. The first taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: czcams.com/video/__1th7ctgMo/video.html, the second taken by JT Dayo in LA: czcams.com/video/4uIYBkAybCI/video.html, and third, JOSER8845 in LA: czcams.com/video/usWZvlGGDSs/video.html. 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. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009
Band-Maid members are: (Ages are best est.).
Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements, melodies and High Priestess mediator between the Gods (Band Members) and the masters and princesses (Fans). At 26 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Leader) as Miku calls her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away the persona. Her charisma, performance and voice focus the experience.
Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 28 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. Kurrupo! No, no, no… KURRUPO!!
Kanami Tono (Ka-Naw-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 29 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, 29 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 “DrumRilla” is the Party!
MISA (Me-Sa) "Assassin" - Bass, 27 years old. A sullen, barefoot, dark spirit driving her 5-string bottom-end to hell and back, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. The Mysterious One 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!
Those drum fills 😮….
The Maid's lay waste
"Come get some Band Maid." -Ash Williams
Band Maid: The impossibly hard rocking multi-genre Super Saiyan maid band. Accept no substitutes.
I honestly consider Band Maid to be the finest rock band in the world right now. Is that wrong?
Nope. It's always subjective, but they're certainly high quality and worthy of consideration! -M
More Nightwish !! please !! Stay safe.
You have to check out alot of other songs 🎵
They are in their late 20s
Try Babymetal "Giv me Choclad" !
Babymetal has been suggested a few times. We'll check them out soon! -M
pjl_u2 wuz here...
Glad you were here! :) -M
Since you liked BAND-MAID, try to react to BABYMETAL, ROAD OF RESISTANCE LIVE in JAPAN. WELCOME TO THE DOMINATION...BAND-MAID JOURNEY...
Ginger needs to do solo reactions to Band Maid. Mike just doesn't seem to be very interested in this particular band.
Mike actually really enjoyed the Band Maid. He's been bugging to do more. He's just a very chill guy :) - G
Mmm I think they are not used to this style of music, Europe and Japan they have the best metal bands, another excelent Japanese female metal Band is Lovebites pure power metal more agresive. And the best metal singer in the entire world is Floor Jansen by Nightwish
We shall check them out! Thank you for the suggestions 😁 - G
You will die and go tp heaven after seeing and hearing floor jansen of nightwish 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Mike, no! Just NO!
The lady's comment about anime at the beginning is completely irrelevant. It even sounds slightly racist.
It's not metal Go to Love Bites for that. A true power metal band!!! (And they sing in English) Band Maid is boring 🥱
We've already been there! Check it out here:
