4 Minutes of Pure Insanity! | Band Maid - From Now On (Reaction)

[@zinoviylubman5553]

In all Band Maid instrumental songs, when Saiki (lead singer ) is taking break Kanami's (lead guitar ) guitar is becoming a lead singer!!! This is how perfection looks like!!! Thanks for your reaction.

Many of us saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. The DB’s matched the BPM’s! So FROM NOW ON, Band-Maid will grow in popularity even faster as their awesome, sold out 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR wrapped up at Japan’s 17,000 seat Yokohama Arena on Nov. 26 and at Hong Kong. AND they dropped their new album, Epic Narratives, Sept. 25. Order now! 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! Thx, RJ!

[@baldguyreact]

They are a band I can see making massive movements in the music industry! Thank you for being a part of the community!

This is why mincho is the 1st Japanese person to have a signature prs model , which is so awesome 200 models sold out in a day , congratulations mincho n nice paycheck po!

[@baldguyreact]

That is crazy! I am sure Mincho enjoyed that payday!

[@russellpotter7294]

12 years of music to enjoy form this simply wonderful band.

[@baldguyreact]

I am working on putting out at least 2 Band Maid videos per week! I will get caught up sometime soon!

[@lonniekramlich6241]

I saw them in Seattle,Oct 12th, 2022. They opened the concert with this song, and it was awesome ! So was the rest of the concert ! 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

[@baldguyreact]

That had to be a sick concert!!!! I go to inkcarceration every year in mansfield ohio, I am hoping they appear on the lineup for 2025

[@dennisthemenace671]

I was there also , they opened with Sense with the orchestral opening , From now on was song # 9 .

[@lonniekramlich6241]

@dennisthemenace671 Your memory is better than mine 😅 but I do remember being blown away by their show !

[@dennisthemenace671]

@@lonniekramlich6241 Lol , its not my memory , actually I thought the 1st song was Warning , later I looked up the set list and wrote it down , yes it was an Amazing show , just think we helped with the inspiration of Memorable , cause Kanami was playing the melody for Memorable to Saiki in LA the 4th show of the tour .

[@lonniekramlich6241]

@rjohnsontech They played at Sonic Temple in 2022 or 23. There's fan cam out there. 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

[@koji-chandayo]

In an interview, Kanami said that he wanted to perform "From Now On" with an orchestra. Kanami composed the song to protect Saiki's voice during live performances, but Kanami's guitar playing "From Now On" sounds like Saiki is singing.

[@baldguyreact]

I am going to check that song out so I can hear it! That sounds awesome!

[@redj59]

Their instrumentals were to give Seiki a break. Now they’ve become their own thing. ❤❤

[@baldguyreact]

She definitely needs it! Keep rocking on! Thank you for being a part of this community!

good thing the now have their own indie label so they can continue to make awesome stuff their own way

[@HG-kr5dc]

I'm sorry. There seems to be a misunderstanding. 「MAIDIT Co. Ltd 」is a management company.

[@DaElfer]

@HG-kr5dc thanks for the clarification

[@HG-kr5dc]

@@DaElfer 👍😄

[@DaElfer]

@@HG-kr5dc so managing themselves does that mean tours and stuff is handled by them or is pony still doing that?

[@HG-kr5dc]

@@DaElfer My guess is that it will probably be MASIDIT driven.　Since Pony is a label, I believe they will manage copyrights, etc.　We do not know for sure about the management, as no details have been announced.

RJ: Thanks for the great reaction to a great song! And I very much appreciate the shout out! And you even pronounced my name correctly! Kudos for that, too! I currently have 45 songs on my top 10 list of BAND-MAID songs. But it’s a real struggle to narrow it down to just 45! Greetings from Dallas, Texas! More BAND-MAID please!

Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things. No one else is doing anything like this. The Maids are definitely charting their own course, composing and playing the music they want to perform.

[@baldguyreact]

They have secured a very unique sound and vibe and it is awesome!

[@BillHallisey]

The Maids are sweet, kind, and clean, but their music (at times) is dirty! In a good way!

[@baldguyreact]

So dirty it knocked my face off!

[@Davey-Boyd]

Saiki the lead singer has had throat surgery in the past so the band are very careful with her voice. They play 2+ hour sets so to give Saiki a break around mid-set they do three things. 1. Play an instrumental, 2. Miku (rhythm guitar) takes lead vocals for a song or two (she usually has one track per album where she is lead vocalist) and 3. Miku will do her legendary and hilarious "Magic Time" MC set. Then Saiki comes back on to finish the set. Even though Saiki no longer needs a break nowadays, it's become more of a tradition. So yeah, they have a number of really cool instrumental tracks. Check out the live MV of "Onset" for another instrumental banger!

[@baldguyreact]

Thats awesome! Not many bands do 2+ hour sets anymore so massive kudos to them for that! I will add the song Onset to my requests list! New Band Maid every week!

[@tonygriffin_]

THE best Hard Rock band in the universe. And in any parallel ones.

[@baldguyreact]

They are awesome!!!! Definitely glad someone suggested me to check them out!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@baldguyreact You only have their 11 year, 150 song back catalogue to try next...and the live versions...the 14 song acoustic set...the new album that was just released...have fun!

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and this song is the first song off their 2022 EP, "Unleash" coming out of the pandemic lock down in Japan. The singer, Saiki, wanted an instrumental to lead off the new album to demonstrate just how much they have leveled up over the pandemic and also to have another instrumental that they can play in concerts to give the singers a break. Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid. New sub

RJ mate! Greetings from Shizuoka City under the benign care of Mount Fuji! Great reaction and thank you so much for promoting Band Maid! Actually, all backing tracks both on videos and in live concerts are composed on the piano or other instruments and played by Kanami. Nothing borrowed here! Such backing tracks are not there to palliate deficiencies or hiding one's weaknesses but only to enhance and bring her compositions to completion! It is simply too difficult to choose a song of theirs as they do not produce any bad songs (actually, Kanami confided she does write bad songs but these all find their way to the wastebasket!). For a different side of theirs I would suggest the MV of "Daydreaming" and "Blooming" and live perormances of "Don't You Tell me! and "Hate?"! Take good care of yourself! Best regards, Robert-Gilles Martineau

[@baldguyreact]

It is so cool seeing so many people here from different parts of the world! Thank you all for being a part of this community and taking the time to watch and comment! I am adding those songs to my requests list! Keep your eyes peeled for those videos!

If you're familiar with the Japanese band anime Bocchi the Rock!, you might know a line from one of the songs that goes, 'I want to become a tiger while staying hunched like a cat.' To me, that line perfectly represents Kanami in this video. Anyway, no matter how many times I watch this performance, it always gives me goosebumps.

RJ Tech , BAND-MAID has a few instrumentals they use them during shows to give , Saiki the lead vocalist a rest , also Miku rhythm guitar n BAND founder has songs where she sings lead also to give Saiki a rest .
