BAND-MAID "CHOOSE ME" 🇯🇵 Official Music Video | A DaneBramage Rocks Reaction FIRST!

[@topographic1973ify]

Watch them live, they are an amazing live band and don't judge them by this old video. They cover a huge variety of genres. Every video you've seen is very good to great, usually listeners always say the current song they listen to is their favorite . . . every time. Best rock band on the planet and the old hard core fans are getting stoked because they're finally getting good traction.

[@roygillotti4615]

Nothing to judge, this is still a well executed song and while it's not as fast paced as their newer stuff it's still very technical.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah, so I am glad I started with an older video, cause then I get to see them develop and grow. This will be fun! I'll give them as much attention as it takes!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I have tickets to see TW as well. Im hoping Band-Maid makes it my way soon. More to come!!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

No argument there

[@sceif]

Best rock band on the planet. They saved my love of rock n roll and music in general when I first heard them over 3 years ago. Never thought I'd find a band where I can listen to their songs over and over and if anything it just gets better. Saw them in Dallas last year and have tickets next month to catch them at Daytona and Atlanta.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I'm super glad a band does this for people. This band The Warning did that for me! I'm stoked to follow them for as long as it takes.

[@evilducks3710]

The Warning and Band Maid are big fans of each other, there are some fun clips of them meeting at Aftershock last year. As such a Warning fan, you should listen to Warning by Band Maid (no relation to the other band, but it just seems appropriate at this point.)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

@@evilducks3710 I saw that and wanted to tie that in! I will make a fun video off of that!

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

I ran across this band a little over a year ago and the more I watched and listened, the more I fell in love with this band. This band is what hard rock was always supposed to sound like. They call their maid costumes their "Fighting Clothes", their Battle Armor. Everyone in the band is a talented musician. They compose, arrange, and produce their own music, write their own lyrics, and they live to perform live shows. Read up on their history and you'll recognize that they one of the hardest working, hardest touring bands on the planet. I suggest you react to their latest video: "Puzzle" from their Jan. 9th Tokyo Garden Theater performance. They've performed several arrangements of this song: electric, acoustic, hybrid acoustic/electric, and even as a duet of the vocalist with the lead guitar singing backup while she plays guitar. But this last version is a superbly recorded live performance that will blow you over like a hurricane.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I saw that video just get released! That is on the list and Domination live has been a heavy request. Either way, I will get them all and I can not wait to ride this train even further! Down the pigeon hole I go. 🤘

[@BMfaninTN]

Band maid doing band maid things....glad you finally checked them out. They kick off another US tour in May 2023. Totally recommend "Dice MV" and "Manners MV" if you wanna hear heavy bass...."Blooming MV" and "Warning MV" rocks hard....honestly you have almost 140 songs to check out that are bangers. They cross many genres across the rock/metal genre....and I would admit they are even more amazing live. I already have tickets for 2 of the May shows....

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid. Choose Me is their most played song they wrote themselves, it's and oldie but a goodie for sure. Please listen and react to anything by Band-Maid, you can't go wrong. You may want to listen to some of their recent songs. Band-Maid have come a long way as songwriters and players the 5 years since the release of "Choose Me". For their technical abilities you may react to "from now on", it's an instrumental piece where everyone shine bright. Other songs that are from recent albums: DICE, No God, Unleash, Rinne. You may also want to listen to the first song of their own creation, "Alone" from the album Brand New Maid. Band-Maid is very diverse when it comes to composing and playing styles, they play everything from hard and heavy to soft and jazzy stuff. One of their latest creations is a song called "Memorable" and is written as a love song to their fans, song was written during their late 2022 US tour. Have fun 🙂

Always hard to suggest where to go next after your first Band Maid song as they have a deep catalogue (roughly 120 songs) and it's full of variety. Rock from ballads right through to heavy rock bordering on metal, bluesy, jazzy, punky, acoustic, a bit of ska and their Alter Ego Band Maiko. They cover everything but it is always distinctly Band Maid. Domination live is generally next move but I'm also going to suggest the 2 fer Manners/Black Hole live which are 2 tracks off Unseen World and very different from Choose Me and each other. Enjoy the journey it is very rewarding.

But Live is where they shine so next check out DOMINATION-LIVE (for the quintessential BAND-MAID), PLAY-LIVE, ONSET-LIVE (Rock instrumental nirvana until you hear their latest instrumental FROM NOW ON). BAND-MAID is Awesome and FUN with the most voluminous, consistent and best Rock music I've heard since the 70's. Enjoy your trek thru the pigeon hole. Peace. 644

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

No, it was an understatement, and when I see them live, you'll see my real engagement to their talent. Domination has been the top requested. I just saw Puzzle released a couple days ago so I'm gonna jump on that while it's fresh. But yeah, I have a lot to see and I'm stoked. 🐦🕳️🤘🏻

@@DaneBramageROCKS haha. DOMINATION (LIVE) is always the top requested for newbies. But truth be told you can throw a dart at their catalog and you'll be happy. For me more than half of their songs are A+ with the rest being A or B. No other band in my 66 years can say that. That is so impressive. 🔥🥰💥🎸🥁🎤🎵

For entertainment, look up Miku’s omajinai time at a concert - plenty of fan cams available. After that there are another 100 or so quality Band Maid songs!!!

Best band this (albeit short) century and I say that with full sincerity. They are easily one of the most diverse bands, more similar to Queen or the Beatles than something like Green Day. Any combination of hard rock, punk, metal and pop and they have at least one song that blends those genres together. The only way to be disappointed by a Band-Maid track is to expect to know what it will sound like, because there's a good chance it's a whole other genre. A large chunk of their library, similar to this, is reminiscent of various late 90's/early 00's rock, metal, alt and punk songs but played at a technical level bands who played back in the day couldn't match. Choose Me is a perfect example: It's a catchy pop-rock song from early 00's radio, but unlike those radio hits, this song has an actual shredding solo. On top of that, the drummer Akane (awe-con-nay) isn't playing the simple drum pattern you would hear from the studio track of a radio hit; she's playing the YT drum cover where the drummer just goes all out crazy for four minutes over a typical radio hit. Their niche is memorable riffs and catchy hooks you can hum or sing along to but backed by world class instrumental talent that would normally be making music largely inaccessible, lacking that hook or melody everyone can latch onto. Enough waxing poetic; you'll hear soon enough. Domination LIVE, not the MV, is a great example of their live presence, which for many tracks transforms the song much like Cheap Trick's I Want You To Want Me Live makes the studio track obsolete. You can also do Thrill MV, which was their first hit that saved the band from being split up by the label. You can also checkout the MV for Warning (Warning and Thrill official live videos are from their covid show, so no audience/no crowd energy 🙁). Or go with DICE MV, or Bubble, or Blooming, or Puzzle, or Don't You Tell Me. Or Daydreaming. Or Rinne/Reincarnation. The only way to go wrong is to expect to know what you're getting. Cheers, Maidiac in Progress. 🤘

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah I have been getting a lot of support and requests for, really anything. I am super excited because of their vast range of talent and what they bring to the table. This is going to be an amazing journey! Domination live is next, has been the most requested! 🤘

[@Kevin6059]

And it's just going to get better!! This song is a great example of a relatively early song of theirs that has their signature rockin' sound that makes you grin from ear to ear yet somehow doesn't make you want to stick your finger down your throat. You'll see in your journey that they are ALL OVER THE PLACE stylistically. They can go WAY harder, and WAY softer, and WAY more complex - or so beautiful you'll be searching the room for someone peeling onions. They're TOP TIER musicians and honestly you haven't seen anything yet. That said, I'd take your time and start with another early song - but this time go with the LIVE version (usually the best - they're phenomenal live) - in a song called "Real Existence" (official live version). Then just starting moving forward in time to watch them grown exponentially from year to year as musicians until you get the mind bogglingly awesome current version which is - and this is not an exaggeration - the best hard rock band on the planet today. That includes male or female and with or without maid outfits 🙂. I'm going to Lollapalooza in Chicago literally just because they're playing, and it's near me. They're touring elsewhere too in May and again in August - try like hell to attend a show!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

This is a great breakdown. I have been hearing a ton about their range in style and how they are not even close to being tied to one genre! I am going to be watching a lot of them and there will be more to come for sure! I will see them live someday! Thanks for the comment, and have fun at the concert!

[@MCLHEF]

If you want to hear Band Maid doing real Metal, check out "Rinne". This song, from what I gather, was a response to people saying they couldn't play "Real" Metal! Never challenge Band Maid!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I would never! LOL, but I will check out this one. I'm stoked to witness their range and I know I'm in for a ride.

BAND-MAID has songs in several movies (This one is in the Netflix film "Kate") a fair few anime's and several TV series as well both in the Japanese and western theatre. They sell out gigs wherever they tour be it home or abroad, currently doing a lot of American festivals this year after Aftershock went so well.... sadly no European tours currently in the pipeline😪 But still hoping they do🤗

Yes, but, I wanted to go back to see where they came from. Kind of start from the beginning and work my way through. There is plenty to see and I'm excited for it

[@IanBennetts]

My interpretation of this song. They've been in a relationship for some time. She thinks it's now time to either take it to the next level of break it off. She also thinks that she's done everything she's willing to do to keep this thing alive and her partner now has to show that they are willing to commit. She's spelling out the conditions, metaphorically in the case of carving love on one's chest, that her partner must meet to prove their commitment to the relationship. Some of these conditions are a bit extreme "Become my prisoner ... No release".

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Great interpretation. It hard to break it down live and recording as I struggle for the words, but it is always fun to do these so, more to come!! Thanks so much for the comment! 🤘

IMO Dont get hung up on the lyrics. They are Japanese and there will always be the issue of "Lost In Translation". That said: They are phenomenal musicians and song writers. Band Maid cant really be described as a specific genre of rock. It ranges from Punk Rock to "Metalish". Pick any song. band Maid does not miss.

@@DaneBramageROCKS Last thing. If you like a catchy chorus, , The Japanese do it the best. And Band Maid, particularly Kanami , the music writer and lead guitarist, and Miku, the backup vocalist and lyric writer, write amazingly catchy chorus'. Also Misa, who is not featured in this song, is the greatest bassist on the planet. Jimmy Page of Led Zeplin called Band Maid's Drummer Akane , "The reincarnation of John Bonham". These ladies are adorable. But dont let that fool you. They are incredible musicians.

BAND-MAID song are relatively short and written to flow from verse to verse. By interrupting the song so often the listener can’t put it all together. Shut up when Kanami is speaking! BTW- BAND-MAID fans are Maidiacs. Honest reactions to songs are expected but disrespecting the band is not part of a reaction and not tolerated by Maidiacs.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

The response hasn't been too bad. At the same time, no need to just sit and watch a guy watch a video. Aside from that, some owners of the production don't allow a total re-record so it's wise to break it up every minute or less to avoid a copywrite violation. I'll stick to my patch but do my best to find better break points. Thanks for the comment 🤘🏻
