BAND-MAID - DICE / DIFFERENT (music video + live) - REACTION

[@jamesgodwin868]

This song introduced me to Band Maid 4 years ago; haven't missed a day since of listening to their music.

[@dejzmi7089]

Oh man awesome introduction to the band with this song... mine was WARNING and that just started all these discoveries I didnt know existed.

[@Retec]

This wasn't the first Band-Maid song I heard, but it absolutely solidified them as my favorite group from the last 30 years!

[@dejzmi7089]

This band is phenomenal.

[@bocatampere]

After I discover these Japanese All Female Rock/Metal bands..I have never look back. Even my 30 years in rockbusiness and everything else seems and sounds so boring nowadays when these ladies bringing their music to my ears. Have to say that Western World rockmusic sounds only boring. These ladies brought my faith back and joy and everything 🔥❤️

[@dejzmi7089]

No wonder these bands are so popular because each of them has their own uniqueness but songs are banger after bangers man.

[@thedocofrock1890]

same here - i am 71 and grew up with all of the best bands of the late 50's through the early 90's. then music in the states went down the crapper with rap and hip hop. and 30 years later they are still trying to push that garbage at us. checking out a youtube suggestion in 2016 brought me to japanese female rock and metal. it all started then with DESTROSE - the song was 'sword of avenger'. haven't looked back since. now LOVEBITES , BAND MAID , HAGANE and many more rule my world.

Love the surprise when DIFFERENT came up! But you knew what you had to do! Band-Maid's streamed concerts were lifesavers during the plague years. Even without an audience present, they gave it their all for those watching, bless them. I remember the 1st one was watched in every continent except Antarctica - though someone did claim that they were going to be down that way during the 2nd or 3rd streamed gig and would watch it so that Band-Maid finally achieved their goal of complete World Domination! Not sure if that happened in the end but maybe it did!

[@dejzmi7089]

And hopefully all these bands continue to dominate ... they deserve all the reward for rocking songs but also talent and hard work.

I love seeing the pure joy of your reactions to great music. "Dice" and "Different" are just 2 meh songs.😂😂😂 JK, they are fantastic! Glad you're enjoying your journey with the Maids. To you comment of the 80's and 90's feel of the rifts, another reactor once said..."Band-Maid...honors the past without being stuck in it." I think that's a great way to look at a lot of their music. For the next song, try "Moratorium" Live at ZEPP Tokyo, not on their official channel but easy to find. Another great two-for, from the same Online Okyu-ji (what the Maids call their live concerts, which translated to "serving") as "Dice" & "Different", "Manners" & "Black Hole" Official Live MV. Two completely different feels. "Manners" with it's groovy/bluesy feel. Then there's "Black Hole". If you though "Different" was fast...buckle up as the Maids take you on a chaotic ride into a black hole. Their fastest bpm song in their discography...220bpm. Keep rocking with the Maids! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘 Not sure who's on your list of Japan bands but some others to check out. Hagane - Another amazing all female group. Recently changed line up with it's some of their members. They were good before the re-org, but now they are pure 🔥. Nek! - Pronounce Neh-Key. The ! is an upside down i. I believe it was a graphic logo choice. This is a new, young up and coming all female 4 piece band. They did some Band-Maid covers at their live concerts and many Maidiacs are drawn to them. Get in early with this group. I, like many others, think they are going to become one of the mainstays. KOIAI - Lisa X (guitar), Hazuki (guitar from Nemophila), Kotono (vocals ex. Ironbunny) and Kanade (drums from Muses) Fantastic music.

Please, please, please react to "Manners/Black Hole". It's a two-fer video of two very different songs in a video. During the pandemic, Band-maid was allowed to to an on-line okyu-ji (concert/offering) by the Japanese government. "Manners/ Black Hole" was a result of that endeavor. The video show the band's amazing versatility in their musical styles. Without telling you any more about the video, I think you enjoy it thoroughly.

[@dejzmi7089]

I covered those earlier and it's super awesome song!!! But I will probably re-do it soon because I have little better set and I want to give the music and their talent proper justice!!!

[@SF-0815]

I just love this song, it's my number one feel-good song. It's also the first song I use to introduce Band Maid to friends/acquaintances, because the intro alone is enough to convince them that there's a lot to discover beyond the western rock/metal bubble. Btw: If you want to see something other than all-female bands, I can only highly recommend "Maximum The Hormone". It doesn't matter which song, they are all good in their own way.

[@dejzmi7089]

Thank you for watching... this was my first introduction to the Japanese music universe and it just keeps getting better. Maximum is coming up next!!!

[@_JimS]

I feel most songs written by Miku are uplifting because they are about their rise above their struggle and hard work to get them to where they are now. Personally I don't believe in "raw talent".....talent is achieved through dedication and hard work...........end of story. These girls work their ASSES off to get where they are now....that's why, at 67yo and hearing the best, these girls ARE the best.
