Band Maid . ...... best of the best. 😊😍

[@roberttoomey6157]

the maids live performances are absolutely devastating just damaging in the best way they're going to knock your socks off from New York

[@noproblems9107]

There is no comparison. Band-Maid is the best without a doubt.

[@thomasjmclain]

It doesn't really matter what song you pick from this band. It really doesn't.

[@registerdbregister7752]

Hello very enthusiastic absolutely energetic very well voice good register thank you good day all people kiss and love all people peace

[@TomClark-Futoura]

A thing about the maid outfits, Anastasia - As Fans and Maidiacs know, Miku -- the 2nd guitarist, lyricist, founder and who worked at a maid cafe -- wanted to show that everyday working "Kawaii" girls dressed as maids in high heels while having fun and smiling could rock as hard as any guy band sweating it up in their hip "poor tortured artists" clothes... and by showing that contrast (the Gap), it would generate interest, which it so successfully has done! Now they show up as Maids for all band business and interviews, etc. and have created a long-lasting, unmistakable, visual band brand. Very cleaver, Miku. Your diabolical plan for world domination is working. Of course, none of this would work if their music and stage performance wasn't at such a remarkably high level. Band-Maid is considered by many of their fans and Maidiacs to be the best hard rock band in the world - maid outfits and all!

[@fredminier8547]

PUZZLE Acoustic video will git you close to SAIKI where you can see here fabulous vocals at work. Thanks. Have a great Christmas 🎄 👍👍👍👍❤🦧🍌🙏

[@Muzicman2112]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid! They are the best rock group in the world today! They have over 100 kick ass tunes, more than The Beatles! Glad you like them! Keep rocking!

[@JwLinberg7788]

Stage Warrior costume is more like band identity. ppl will recognize you even though they dont know u, from marketing perspective. Lets try Band-Maid - Wonderland ( jazzy feel), can hear the vocal cause it is a less chaotic song.

[@jasonhoffman7959]

[@charleslatora5750]

Watching for the second time. subbed.

[@Oedwak]

Subscribed for more! Thank you for explaining why I can't get to the end of a Band-Maid song without tears. It's the peeling of the Band-Maid onion! Now I have the perfect excuse! Speaking of which, I'd totally buy Band-Maid onions if they were sold. Although if the maids were to start selling produce, I'm betting it would be bananas.

[@Bloosee]

So funny you said, "maybe maid costumes," the name of the band went right over your head at that point.

[@thomasjmclain]

Also, FYI, Band Maid is streaming an acoustic online concert on for (non-orthodox) Christmas in about 20 hours from now 11 AM Japan Standard Time Dec 25. Ticket purchase info can be found on the band's website.

[@jimcarmer1685]

Hello Anastasia, Band Maid Live is Second to none. Band Maid can Rock the house down then turn around a bring a tear to your eye. They have so many great songs. I've been listening to ( Blooming and Choose Me) both MV but are very good. Yes there are live versions to them too. I guess all I can really say is sit back and enjoy the Band Maid Journey. You have a Beautiful Voice Anastasia.😊

Band-Maid are more than best friends, The Maids are as close as family. They truly love to be together and play together, they have the same joy live no matter the venue big or small.

[@schelin1447]

The best hard rock band around and probably for the last 30-40 years or so! Amazing musicians, song writers and performers! and MISA is a bass player from another galaxy...the barefoot whisky drinkin' assassin! A goddess on bass!

[@hiawatha.g]

Miku was the founder and original lead singer of the band, and she herself recognized they needed a singer with more punch if they were going to be successful with this kind of aggressive music, so they recruited Saiki. Miku and Saiki work really well together in harmonies and counterpoints. Miku has a softer, "cuter" voice that complements Saiki well. Two of the band, MISA (bass) and Saiki, wear black outfits that contrast with the cute "maid" look.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

funny enough Miku has a Bigger/Wider range but as you said softer

[@andreaspedersen3952]

Well.. Saiki and Misa weren't too pleased with the maid-outfits, so after 2 years there was a natural reason which made their costumes got more personalised.

[@avader5]

Misa and Saiki are so Goth!

[@hiawatha.g]

The composed one--MISA, the bassist, also known as "the Barefoot Assassin". In my opinion the best rock bassist in the world today. She has strong jazz and funk chops that make her lines much more than simply rhythm support.

[@knightofthefivemaids]

You aren't alone in that opinion I to think that way she no just sloppy the bass she also happy the bass to lol

[@charlescoleman9278]

So cold blooded on stage -- The Barefoot Assassin -- but behind the scenes, she is a prankster second only to Akane. I just love her. Seeing the many behind the scenes videos out there, it's great to get to know these wonderful women that we have all come to know and love. They really do seem to have a sincere love and appreciation for each other as well. If you get a chance to watch their most recent online acoustic show, a lot of this comes out, especially in the version where the band members are commenting as they watch their own performance.

[@yageyage4740]

They really rock😁

[@flip.flap.]

This song is one the band's favorite songs to perform live, they've been playing it since 2016.

[@tonygriffin_]

Akane Hirose is not only one of the very best drummers in the world but also the happiest. THE best Rock band ever created (Arigatou, Miku!).

[@ssnidely]

only drummer i know of that has as big of a smile in the beginning as in the end of a 2 hr show.

[@franshendrix1404]

If mr. Page insists, INSISTS to go back stage for a picture, you know you are on top. You know you're #1.

[@jeremydawkins8814]

Miku does take the lead on a number of songs. Freedom is a band favorite.

[@MrTremors1]

They're always smiling a lot live.. well Misa (awesome bassist) don't smile that often, but it happens. You do good reactions!

[@mr_ozzio5095]

Saiki (lead vocals) blew out her voice a few years back, she had surgery and long term vocal rehabilitation. Both her and miku(b-vocals/rhyme guitar) still attend vocal training session, which has really paid off with there live performances🎵🎶🥁🎸🎶🎵

[@Mad_maxman]

BAND-MAID have announced that they will be performing in the United States in 2022 after the conclusion of their online concert today (25 December 2021). It will be a US-wide tour and the concerts are expected to take place in major US cities.

[@watcher2554]

MISA! MISA! MISA! I'm pretty sure I was hearing a cover of "Habanera" from 'Carmen' in your song "Winter"...Nice! More Band Maid Always!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!

[@waynebenedict5785]

Five amazing and talented ladies! This is the Band-Maid fun song, they almost always include it in their concerts! Their fun is infectious to the audience! Akane, the drummer, was complemented by Jimmy Page, yes THAT Jimmy Page, for her drum work after watching them live two nights in a row, high praise indeed! The Maid outfits have evolved over the years to better reflect each band members personality. Akane is the happiest drummer on the planet, and, one of the best, imho! MISA, The Barefoot Assassin, and Akane went to music school together, and that might explain why they are so good as the heart and soul of Band-Maid! More Band-Maid, if you pplease!

[@jordank2028]

If you want a focus on vocals you should listen to About Us (live), Wonderland (live), or Smile (live). All of those songs showcase good vocal range as the singer Saiki's voice has constantly been improving.

[@vhaarr]

Also Blooming (MV). Try to figure out where she's breathing.

[@lonniekramlich6241]

For a great...... Kanami guitar solo try, " Daydreaming " or a great bass solo try, "Manners," live. ❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

[@nelsonta00]

Weird to say this because I loved listening to Domination album earlier this year before Unseen World album came around, but Unseen World and all music after it are Leagues above Domination. Domination felt like BM finally hit the American Rock level, but Unseen World album felt like them going above American Rock and into their own style.

[@jenspfennig9226]

Great reaction and I loved your words "...more Band-Maid reactions...". You can pick any song out of their 100+ song catalogue since there is not a bad one amongst them. Prepare to be plastered with reaction requests by the Maidiacs. They have a very loyal fan base and I am one of them. Band-Maid will have an onlince accoustic set (pre-recorded) on December 25th starting at 11am (JST). Fun fact: When Kanami (lead g) knelt to Miku's voice solo part she was actually trolling her by blocking the monitor since Miku had messed up the lyrics (written by Miku... lol) in a concert a little earlier.

[@scuppernog1]

Their live video of the song "Play" shows off each band member.

[@Maidiac]

They're all smiling because they are all that happy ALL THE TIME. MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@mr.daisock1728]

You should check there Songs "Play" & "Onset" both live.

[@snowdog5895]

Welcome aboard! If a guitar solo is what your looking for try "Blooming" 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@bobespirit2112]

You want to see “Wonderland” - official live video, for a focus on Saiki’s vocals.

[@Greg-om2hb]

Another Japanese, all-female metal band you should know is Nemophila. The vocalist and musicians are all extremely versatile. In addition to their wonderful original compositions, they have made dozens of amazing cover song videos, including tributes to many Japanese pop, rock, and metal bands.

[@rednab2001]

Great to see you getting back to Band Maid. For more of those great harmonies, I would suggest "About Us" and "Daydreaming." About us is from their live online concert, and Daydreaming sounds like a 1980's power ballad...I would suggest the official video on this one. The ladies of Band Maid have many different influences they pull from. This is why each song sounds different. The guitarist has said that her greatest influence is Carlos Santana. That is highly unusual for someone playing hard rock...but it shows in the band's variety. They have over 60 years of great rock music to be influenced by! The kicker is....every song is good and has great melody. No matter what song you chose to review, you will love it. Also, there really is no comparison between Band Maid and LoveBites. LoveBites is strictly power metal. It is what they are great at and they pretty much stick with it. Band Maid on the other hand, bounces all over the music spectrum. I am absolutely crazy about both bands! I love them so much that my phone background is Miku...just to let everyone know, I have decided that in my next life, I am going to Japan to marry a pigeon!!

[@Socrates_1775]

Very nice reaction! Band-Maid is an excellent band! Another Japanese band you may like is Unlucky Morpheus. The singer, Fuki, has fronted 3 different bands, 2 solo projects and several collaborations. I'm almost certain you would be blown away by their live performance of the song Dignity of Spirit 🤘😊🤘

[@gaborberkes468]

You should check "DOMINATION LIVE" from same concert ;)Or Secret my lips,Puzzle,Alone MV And becouse you like nice dress Secret Maiko lips MV. Actually all song just amazing from them.Nice reaction btw :) Marry Christmas :)

[@reapercometh]

Oh if you want to see something super unique from them. A side project they did you'd enjoy. Band maiko secret maiko lips and gion cho are worth checking out

[@JuanSan66]

Great job!. Another live video to value with detaill some aspects of their singers is No God, official live vidoe in their YT channel.

[@mattdhorstman]

Oh man... if guitar solos give you minute -long orgasms it's going to be tough for you to make it through their catalog :P Domination (LIVE) for guitar solos, Wonderland (LIVE) for harmonies, Daydreaming (M/V) if you want to see how they handle a ballad. Welcome to the Pigeon hole. PO!!!

[@Nighteye2]

More Band-Maid is great, but if you want to check out even more Japanese bands (once you're ready for it) I can recommend Trident with the song "Continue" or Unlucky Morpheus with the song "Unending Sorceress". ^_-

[@gigmcsweeney8566]

Nice reaction to one of the best hard rock bands to have emerged in the last 30 or 40 years. Cheers from the UK.

[@avader5]

Now you understand why Jimmy Page after watching Akane's drumming said that she was one of the best drummers that he's ever heard and that she reminded him of John Bonham. The song that got them started was Thrill.

[@keithmeyer9558]

Looks like someone is crushing on Kanami. I heard that she took up the guitar to impress the girls. She said she now likes to impress Saiki . If you react to Don't You Tell Me live watch the look on Saiki's face after the solo . That is you aren't to distracted at the time . Akane is the happiest drummer in the world. It would be wrong for me not to mention Akane after this video.

[@philipcable7518]

Band-Maid live, all killer no filler! It really doesn't matter what song you pick you will either be hyped, in tears or both. I've not seen their like in 35years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5eofpqviploZqs

[@rustygear447]

Band-Maid love performing live together. They always have fun on stage and their smiles are more contagious than covid.

[@DaElfer]

In 2018 Saiki underwent vocal cord polyps surgery, after she struggled with her throat for two years. After she suddenly lost her voice, she decided to go ahead with the surgery and although Saiki was initially terrified the procedure went well, and her voice and throat are today better than ever.

[@Metal_Auditor]

It was 2017. The Studio Coast concert happened not long after she recovered from that.

[@MoonmanRedux]

She's been working hard with a vocal coach since the surgery in order to learn how to sing safely. IIRC Miku has also gone the polyp surgery/vocal coach route.

[@Metal_Auditor]

@@MoonmanRedux Miku didn’t have polyps like Saiki had, but I believe she did get surgery for another less severe issue.

[@MoonmanRedux]

@@Metal_Auditor Thanks for the info!

[@joeb4142]

Anastasia thanks for being my guide in Band Maid land. The pace of the song was so frenetic that I missed a lot but I also liked the harmonies and the solos. Looking forward to more!

[@keithmeyer9558]

We may have a future Maidiac here.

[@philcalvino884]

Thanks for another wonderful reaction, Anastasia! It's interesting what you were saying at the end about Saiki's ability to avoid glottal stroking, because back in 2017 she had to undergo surgery for vocal cord polyps. After that she had to work hard at rehabbing and strengthening her core. Most of the live and studio videos on Band-Maid official are full of jump-cuts, but there are a few that aren't quite so jumpy, like Wonderland and Daydreaming, so you may get a better idea of Saiki's vocal technique from those.

[@Glen.Black.]

Miku (singing backup) formed the band. She brought lead singer (Saiki) on because she wanted someone with a more powerful voice, so yes, she is a singer in her own right. They spend tons of time together, and yes they are best friends. When they are back stage, they have to explain all the dirty jokes to the naive Kanami, and voted Misa (Bassist) as having the best boobs. In their off stage videos, you will see then sticking their fingers in the other's ears, and up the noses of others, when they are trying to speak on camera. So genuine, and just having a ball. Nothing is put on, no egos involved, and they do what is not only best for the band, but their main focus is to serve their fans (Masters and Princesses). They have even written one or more songs specifically for the fans. Lead Guitarist (Kanami) is the master mind behind most of their music in that she writes and composes it, etc. But she does this also, with the involvement of all of the other members, who sometimes makes changes to fit their styles. They are all musical and entertainment geniuses! One of the best bands in the world.

[@petercooper8282]

peter . " Onset " live is a fantastic instrumental , you will not be disappointed Anastasia . Lead guitarist Kanami taught Miku how to play rhythm guitar . Originally Miku only sung when the band was started and did not play any instruments .

[@fastskipper777]

They have a lot of bass solos as well.

[@Slippy6582]

Anastasia: I feel like they are best friends... YEP! They are best friends, they stay in contact with each other every single day and doing a lot of things together, its not just a "band". That is the reason their chemistry is so special! P.S.: And a really good eye! WOW! You said, you think this song is special to them, because they are smiling the whole time... I mean Akane (drummer) is always smiling, but not MISA (bass) for example and so YES, this song is special. Its just their favorite song to perform, they always are REALLY happy to perform this song. Merry Christmas from Germany

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Unbelievably, they each have only the one outfit for each particular tour/album era. According to Miku, their tour manager hand washes and irons each outfit after every show!💪🏻🤘🏻

[@jasonnord785]

For a tasty guitar solo check out their song Daydreaming. It’s heaven.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

"Freedom" is one of my feel good songs of Band-Maid. Especially this live video with all their smiling and happiness. By the way, there isn't a Band-Maid song that will disappoint you and that I would not recommend. Of course there are favorites, but the tastes are simply different. I'm really excited about your journey through Band-Maid's music.

[@highjynxx]

Band-Maid are absolute queens. Their two shot video of Manners/Black Hole (live) showcases Saiki's vocals and facial performance well. Every member of this band always pushes every aspect of what they do. It's a joy to see your instant love. It's the love we all felt :)

[@paulread4886]

Fantastic news Anastasia abut your new gear and schedule for next year. MIku sings a couple of whole songs live, also released a solo project single.

[@785boats]

Fun Fact. When Kanami comes over to Miku when she does her vocals, it was because the last time they performed this song Miku stuffed it up. So Kanami sat down in front of here to give her moral support & to keep an eye on her. Just notice the smile & the nodding of her head while she was watching Miku. And how Miku was watching Kanami for her approval. Such a great bunch of girls.

[@falconsooner]

They have 3 other live videos from this same concert. Domination, Play and Wonderland. All are worth checking out and each has a different feel. Play has a call and response interaction between the two vocalists. The ballad About Us likely shows more of her singing.

[@seanherskowitz665]

Ah great reaction ; band maid is sooooooo much fun yet hard as fuck lol 😆 But you have one more Japanese Metal/Punk/groove band to listen to and that’s Nemophila Another and that just has a blast on stage abs really kills the guitars with a double lead Dissension is this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKurYWdrgcmdeNE

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you for reacting to my favorite band of all times. MISA is one of the best bass players in hard rock today, she masters many genres and blends different styles on the fly. Have you seen her pick technique switching between slap and pick playing. MISA is also a master in finger style playing. Akane is the best hard rock drummer today. Kanami writes the music and is a great guitar player. Miku writes the lyrics, plays the rythm guitar and sings harmonies and a few leads, she even have 3 songs where she is the solo singer. Saiki is IMHO the best hard rock singer in a very long time, her voice control is amazing. All in all I count Band-Maid as the best hard rock band since the great bands of the 70s. Band-Maid's catalog contains of more than 100 songs, not matter which you decide to react to Maidiacs will apporve and support you.

[@doobiejones9388]

Every song has meaning to them. They're always smiling! No ego in this band. They legitimately love each other. What makes them so special is that as incredible as they are as individual artists.

[@davidbourhenne8540]

Band-Maid doesn't have genre. They play just about everything from hard rock to ballads to straight up speed metal songs. They have the same outfits because they are Maids...get it, band of maids. Although each album they modify their costumes. MISA (yes her name is all caps), the bassist, is dressed as an assassin maid and Saiki, the vocalist, is more of a Spanish Maid while the other three are more typical French maids or variations of the outfit. But it's undeniable they are amazing performers. I just hope someday to be able to see these wonderful women in concert and be able to get some of their energy they give to their audience. For some songs, Daydreaming, Onset (instrumental), Puzzle, Black Hole, Bubble, Blooming, Don't you tell Me, DICE, Choose Me, or anything else from their catalog. You can't go wrong with the Maids.

[@elevown]

While Saiki is an amazing singer they would sound a lot worse if Miku wasnt singing along with her :) They do tons of harmonising and she sings lots of bits you might miss if not paying attention. Miku is as good a singer- she just knew her voice alone didnt suit the music she wanted them to play- its too cute. Hope you do more band-maid. I'll pick the Daydreaming MV for my recommendation - its a power ballad with amazing singing and a beautiful solo.

[@charlescoleman9278]

Yes, Daydreaming is a powerful and emotional song. One of my favorites!

[@hitokiriizo]

The outfits are different versions of the maid outfit. Miku and kanami wear a French and English maid style respectively, saiki does her own thing (she refused the usual maid outfit) and Misa the bassist is styled after a Chinese one and the drummer, Akane, has shorts....she use to wear a tiny hat but it kept falling off so she stopped wearing it.

[@charlescoleman9278]

I love your reactions and commentary. It is always great to see someone new realizing what we Maidiacs have known for quite a while. These Girls are GOOD! If you want more songs to listen to, I have a few suggestions, but I'm sure everyone has their own favorites and you really can't go wrong. Here's mine -- Afterlife, Warning, Dice, Shake That, Don't You Tell Me, Take Me Higher, Turn Me On, The Non-Fiction Days and the song/video that I first saw and hooked me -- Thrill. Flying High off the Conqueror album is underrated in my view. Have fun with this band. I have been for over 4 years now. Saw them live in LA October 1, 2019 and they were amazing. They were so down to Earth and fun at the pre show meet and greet too.

[@gradyshmalady8284]

Miku, the rhythm guitarist/backup vocalist has her own sorta side project called Cluppo where she sings main vocals. She has two MVs already Peace&Love and Flapping Wings. It's way poppier than Band-Maid, but still interesting.

[@highpriestofthiccmumeism]

3:12, is watching a Band-(MAID!!!!) live video, isn't sure of what the costumes are.......

[@tonylekas3041]

That was fun,thanks! You will enjoy the ride. The Maid outfits are their battle dress, one costume each washed and pressed by the manager between shows when they toured. The band has slowly de-sexualized the outfits over time which is a power move IMO.

[@stephenriggs8177]

Kanami was the first person Miku recruited for the band. She's spent the past 8 years as Miku's guitar tutor and constant source of encouragement. Along the way, they've developed their own songwriting chops. Miku writes the lyrics, and Kanami is the primary composer. This was Miku's first song, so it seems fitting that she'd take a verse.

[@starocean6013]

Daydreaming is a must it should be top of your list be warned it will change your life forever be well

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Live, check out "Play", "Domination" or "Real Existence" or even "Take me Higher". Some songs like "Dice" or "Blooming" don't have a live video with the best audio of quality so you might just stick with the MV of those two songs for now... Also, the songs off their latest album like "Warning" or "Manners"...

[@rickwagner-]

'FREEDOM' was a relatively early BAND-MAID song from 'Brand New Maid', the third studio album. It was one of the first songs to have lyrics from Miku, the band founder and rhythm guitarist. The only song on that album with music composed or arranged by BAND-MAID was 'Alone'. Even so, you can see that they inject their own flavor, even with the early songs that they didn't write themselves. By the time they released 'Just Bring It', the next studio album, they were writing most of their own material.

[@scottmcgregor562]

If you watch this video again, you will notice during Kanami's drum solo, you will see Miku and Kanami Pumping their fists, clapping and cheering for her. I do not know of another band that actually cheers for each other, and interacts like they actually like and enjoying being with each other.

[@K.H.D710]

The guitarist crouching next to Miku (red rose/rhythm guitar) is Kanami who is a genius composer and a guitar teacher of Miku. The song Freedom is not composed by them but is their fav song for concerts (lyrics is written by Miku). To see different side of this band, I suggest you "about Us" (live) and "Manners/Black Hole" (live) next. Please continue your happy Band-Maid journey, PO (P_O)🕊💕 Merry Christmas🎅🛷🎁🎄

Just a note about Haruna..check out Lovebites cover of "Eagle fly free" studio for a little Haruna magic

Any song from Band Maid is great. Anyone you pick you will like.

[@barrettflorida]

Glad you finally got to this song. I dare anyone to make it through this song without smiling. Go ahead, I'll wait... And yes, more Band-Maid

You haven't seen anything yet. You have your Lunatics, Band-Maid has their Maidiacs, welcome to the group. You have to react to Choose Me, Don't You Tell me, Onset, Play and a whole bunch more.

Miku and Saiki don't truly have a lead/backup singer dynamic so much. It's more of a dual vocalist type of relationship, much like Lane Staley and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains.

They have a b side to Sense called corallium. No video but it is on their youtube. It's worth checking out. I think you'll love it and the vocal work in it

The girls of Band-Maid see themself all equal. Everybody of them gets the chance to shine in one or the other songs. There is always some place for a short drum Solo, there are many bass solos from Misa and also some songs where Miku is taking the lead ( they call it pee pause for Saiki ). Clear, that Saiki the singer and Kanami the lead guitar have the most presence. It is one of the bands where you really can see that there are 5 good friends making music.

Love your reactions! Yes please do more of Band-Maid☆ So u have listened to Lovebites and Babymetal, then why not the girls band "Nemophila". I recommend "Dissension" from nemophila😄

[@boomboom418]

If we Maidiacs know what you're into we can make recommendations. Since we know you like the singing I believe "Wonderland", "About Us" and "Endless Story" should be your next review(s) because those songs really show off Saiki's chops as a singer.
