- Join RebekaReacts as she dives into the world of Japanese rock music with BAND-MAID's 'Protect Me' music video! With her signature blend of humor and heartfelt reactions, Rebeka explores the unique blend of maid-themed charm and hard-hitting riffs that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide.
From the soaring vocals to the face-melting guitar solos, Rebeka's reactions will have you laughing, crying, and headbanging along with her. Whether you're a longtime fan of BAND-MAID or just discovering their music, this reaction video is a must-watch!
Not only are they awesome, and all of their songs are awesome, but their music is very diverse. Plus they'll make you grin till your jaws hurt. Come back for more and you won't be sorry. Pick a song at random - there are tons of them. That's how good their songwriting is.
If you like amazing instrumental play with great vocals and consistently brilliant songwriting, this is your band! Band-Maid's core is hard rock, but as you'll see, they branch out into many styles and genres, while never losing their identity. You're right about the lead vocalist, Saiki (rhymes with 'psyche'). Her vocals fit in a rich alto range, unlike a lot of female j- or k-pop/rock/metal vocalists. Her vibrato is also unique and beautiful (IMO), and she does indeed throw in the occasional gritty rasp when the moment calls for it. Other members: Kanami (kah-nah-mee), lead guitar & primary songwriter; Miku (mee-koo), rhythm guitarist, backup vocals & main lyricist; MISA (mee-sah), bassist; and Akane (ah-kah-nay), drums. You have wonderful journey ahead, Rebeka, and I've subscribed to be along for the ride!
Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world!

Welcome to the Maidiacs Princess Rebeka.
Band-Maid, 0 to 100 in a Nano second! Welcome to a long and rewarding trip down the Pigeon Hole!
Be prepared to be unprepared. The Maids are INCREDIBLE (really, it's kinda bonkers). Welcome home, Rebeka! 🕊
Hej Rebeka !
welcome to the world of Band-Maid.
Glad to have you on this journey !
Welcome, Rebeka. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 200 million views just on their official YT channel, plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid:
BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (130+ songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom.
Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular!
Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: czcams.com/video/Uds7g3M-4lQ/video.html Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Hate?, Shambles, Influencer, Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on.
But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, Bestie, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits (AniMaid) like Protect You, Sense, Different, Glory and Unleash!!!!! (from their own Anime MV (series?)): czcams.com/video/7LB_EPS48HE/video.html)
And many songs are represented with over 50 well produced music videos. czcams.com/users/BANDMAID
Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYUJI concerts:
2023 Yokohama 10th Year Anniversary Concert “Endless Story” czcams.com/video/Za1y-RRVd70/video.html
ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” czcams.com/video/nAdWnIRjGak/video.html
Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” czcams.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/video.html
ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” czcams.com/video/-qQnKILR5u0/video.html
Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.
And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:

If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, live streams, 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, Don’t Let Me Down, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid.

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

Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo

The Maids are one of the hardest working supergroups in the business! Their music, their sound, each of the Maids, and the love that permeates their live events is an experience not to be missed. Hope you can catch them LIVE!
Thank you for all of the amazing information. I'll be sure to add these video recommendations to my list.
Glad you enjoyed Band Maid. They are fantastic.
Loved your reaction to the Maids, subbed! I think we here all hope to hear you react to more from Band-Maid. Protect Me is a closer for an anime, and so is pretty intense in specific ways. For a chance to check out their range, maybe try reacting to their music video for the song Daydreaming.
Nice reaction and this is just the beginning. These are five extremely talented ladies, composing and playing their own hard rock since 2016. They formed in 2013 and songs were initially written for them, then in 2016 they started writing all their own songs. The second vocalist/second guitarist, Miku, formed the band and all the original members are still in the band. Thanks for reacting to, what I consider, the best hard rock band in the world today.
They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!
🤘Band-Maid 🤘Thanks for the reaction Rebeka
Welcome and thank you for Band-Maid and have a good day!!!

BAND-MAID のライブ動画では「HATE ? 」と 「FREEDOM」 を、お勧めします。
For BAND-MAID live videos, I recommend "HATE ?" and "FREEDOM."
👍🤗😁🤘🥰🕊👀
👍👍 try one ok rock / nemophila / wagakki band / ado / baby metal / 🎸
Try Gacharic Spin. Live "Mindset", "I Wish I", "The Come Up Chapter" or mv of "Kacha Kacha Yama". This is more kickass all-women rock from Japan.
