Everyone I see react to Band-Maid become instant fans. They are just too damn good and every member is so talented.

[@charcolew]

I especially like the reactions of people like you who are technically musical and understand the changes, the build-up and release of tension etc which Band Maid excel at. They blew me away and I enjoy watching people getting real enjoyment out of their music. And they make you feel so good, you are so right about that. And your final point about finding it weird - yeah, some of my buddies can't appreciate it at all.

[@samikoivisto7705]

Band members: Saiki Atsumi: lead vocals Miku Kobato: backup vocals, rhythm guitar, band founder Kanami Tono: lead guitar Misa: bass Akane Hirose: drumms, acting leader

[@Badllamah]

Sami!!!! 😎 He really needs to get to the Live versions! Besides MISA!, he needs to get slapped with the Kanami Tsunami! 🤘 (I'm going to trademark that LOL)

[@samikoivisto7705]

LOL... Release The Kanami! Play (live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5bMep2rlNlkepo

[@TheManPromised]

play sucks, but for some reason it's always requested

[@os7692]

Hell yes!!! They blow my mind!

[@jjs2351]

I think you hit on the key point - a lot of these Japanese bands make you feel good, not only listening to their songs, but watching their videos.. Same reaction with Babymetal. Band-maid is a band I got into a little late, but once I did, there was no stopping. Great reaction. I loved this song from the first listen.

[@roquesanchez3216]

Wow! An all female rock band that can really rock out.

[@margiesanchez1211]

When I first heard it I couldn't believe what I was hearing. DICE is an OMG song. WOW! Band-Maid can really rock!

[@BoknoyBuhisan]

man i swear everytime i watch all these reactors i feel kind of sad when they don't notice what a beast akane is!

[@diegoorozco7204]

In live they sound exactly the same like in the Video, they're really AMAZING 💕👀

[@dajoler]

Love your reaction dude. It's almost exactly the way I reacted when I first saw their video for their song "Alone". While the girls haven't disclosed their exact ages, they're all early to mid-twenties. The maid outfits make them look younger than they really are plus the fact that Asian women age differently. Miku (backup vocalist and rhythm guitar, with the pigtails) used to be in a J-pop idol group. She got the idea to form a hard rock band after working in a Japanese maid-cafe, thinking that the contrast between the "subservient maid" image and hard rock would be pretty cool. Kanami (lead guitarist) was a KZbinr who did guitar covers and songs before Miku watched some of her videos and recruited her as the first member. Kanami knew Akane (drummer) from jamming with her and suggested that they recruit her. Akane knew Misa (bassist) since they attended the same music school. Last to join was Saiki (vocals) who was previously trying to make it as a solo artist. Check out "Domination" -- it's one of their heavier, thrashier tracks. Also check out "Daydreaming" and "Secret My Lips" both of which are more on the poppier side but still quite heavy by today's standards.

[@patron40silver]

BAND-MAID IS NOT ANOTHER JAPANESE BAND

[@Badllamah]

Great reaction, and yet another subscriber. As noted in all the comments below, the Live versions are outstanding as well. Peace!!

[@VGVindaloo]

It's also worth pointing out, that they write most of the songs themselves. By the amount of hits they put out in such a short time, I was sure they had a lot of guest authors, but they don't. There's some guests, but to be honest, I prefer the songs they write without help. And now that you've done Babymetal and Band-Maid, it's time to react to Doll$boxx / Take My Chance.

[@Outfrost]

Don't be afraid to pause the video and talk - in fact, talk more! That's what reaction videos are best for - commentary, expression, discussion :) Nice video! Like some others here, I'd suggest checking out "Thrill" next (their first music video), but really, you can't go wrong with any BAND-MAID song, they're all refreshingly awesome. No instrument fades to the background, they all play phenomenally, and whoever mixes their songs does a damn good job.

[@LeslieannOtero]

MORE 👏BAND👏MAID👏 Get obsessed like us!! 😂 Awesome reaction btw!

[@saldiven2009]

I saw the band about 10 days ago in Nagoya. The crowd goes just nuts for this song.

[@Badllamah]

I still hate you (not really) 😁

[@saldiven2009]

Badllama Haha.

[@dtmuffinman]

They're all around mid-to-upper 20s, like the 24-27 range, with the lead singer Saiki being the youngest.

[@xenophon343]

Amazing musicians for their age!

[@Badllamah]

Waiting for more Band-Maid! 😁

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Check out a few of their awesome live performances before they're taken down: kzbin.info/door/5q-a21ctifYAJr0MLv2kkA ; kzbin.info/door/yaZU3Ct58N1tO39oOB9KhQ ; Band-Maid is about to embark on their third limited world tour. Band-Maid is fast becoming one of the best hard rock bands in the world. Their music composition, thanks to Kanami's guitar (Ka-na-me) and Misa's bass and incredible chops and music background, Akane's powerful drive and novel kick drum patterns, Miku's writing and personality (which I hope she'll tighten up a bit) and Saiki's super strong rock Goddess voice (hope she doesn't blow it out anytime soon) and stage presence all go to make Band-Maid a major world act and culture influence.

[@cic5]

So glad you liked the video they are a great band and so talented u should check out their other video from this album "Domination" you're gonna love it!

[@jukijunk]

More Bandmaid, MORE!!

[@buzbom1]

LOL, Yup your reaction is the same as mine on this song and a few others. I had a brainless smile on my face and felt like I needed a cigarette. I DON'T EVEN SMOKE!!! LOL I noticed you have some gear in the background, so your reaction as a musician is valid in my book. I've been in an out of bands as a drummer/lead singer for nearly 4 decades so I can relate to your feelings when seeing this. Not since Loudness and EZO back in the mid "80's" have I seen such an insurgence in the Japanese rock scene of current. And especially the female bands. I LIKE IT!! ehem.........I mean I respect it. ;)

[@world_traveller61]

I am glad to hear that you liked band-maid. They are Japanese and look young but actually they are mid 20s already.

[@me262talon2]

Enjoy when you go back and show what parts you like😎

[@AgentRedShirt]

Thrill. That song is a bass showcase. And choose me has more guitar solo stuff in it as well

[@somejoshthing]

I just found these girls a couple weeks ago, and have been listening non-stop. The talent here is incredible. I don't know if I love Misa's bass, Akane's FIERCE drums, or Kaname's shredding solos more. I'd say an earlier track, "REAL EXISTENCE" to see Akane just murdering it on drums, and "Thrill" for a more visually interesting video, with heavy doses of Misa's bass, and Kaname rocking the fuck out. Just amazing. I thought the maid thing was a gimmicky put-off at first, but I don't even see it anymore.

I love the maid thing, I think it does exactly what they wanted it for: the contrast between the "oh, we're just cute, 'obedient' maids" and the brutal, aggressive sound.

[@somejoshthing]

@ Yeah, and I totally get that too. I only find it unfortunate because it's inevitable it'll cause some people to dismiss them as a gimmick. Hell, I almost did. But three or four songs in I changed my mind :D It is what it is, and I enjoy them no less for it. Fantastic band.

[@me262talon2]

Misa

[@torepedersen3109]

Yes, indeed. Dat bass.

[@MisakaMikotoLuv]

All about that bass?

[@omneil]

I don't know why, but there is something about a tall dark and Pretty Bass Player that makes me fall in love.

[@Thunderdkfox]

Awesome Band :) love them

[@pontiacfan76]

They have a video of them dressed in Kimonos with old school Japanese guitars. That was my first experience with these ladies. They fucking rock. Been watching listening to their music every chance I get for the last week.

[@r3alf3ar]

Wahahahaha the first 5 seconds... Get used to it its BAND-MAID! They RoooooCK!!! 🤘

This is one of the bits I so totally love about this band: they have a ROCKING bass, always featured (many songs have a bass solo, usually followed by the guitar solo, like here). And of course a rocking bassist. Misa is awesome. I'm a lazy-as-fuck bassist myself, 's why.

[@chakouyang2545]

Best female band hand down

[@greatd6030]

This song is perfect.

[@keithvincent4]

Band maid live a must/play/track please.

[@notdynomonkey]

Checkout "Thrill"....from these girls!.

[@John-xh9ul]

Misa. Misa. Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisa!

[@yoyoheads]

I don't know what it is, it's so fun to watch other people go through the same emotions you went through the first time listening to the band. xD I've been addicted ever since. They don't even have one bad song.

[@chrisstreeter7918]

All are in their mid to late 20's. Great commentary.

[@ClawCarver]

Great reaction! It's always fun to see some poor unsuspecting KZbinr get kicked in the face (in the best possible way) by Band-Maid on the rampage. Dice is from their latest album, World Domination. You might want to check out two more from it, Domination and Daydreaming. Both are phenomenal.

[@Badllamah]

Here Here! well said!

[@CommanderCronus]

Agreed. Band Maid is one rock group that'll take you to the woodshed and whip you with some excellent guitar sounds.

[@Outfrost]

Don't forget Akane's amazing drum work!

*Hear, hear

[@cecilializarraga]

Looooove your smile!!

[@yyz6162]

I've never missed their live in my region. I feel their playing skills drastically got better this year. They play themselves, they write songs and lyrics throughout the latest two albums, but not all, though. That's the difference between the other commercial girls bands in Japan. BTW, I guess they are mid- twenty, not mid-teens.

[@tommyjohnson9175]

Viewers usually jump on MISA "Bassist", also called "the barefoot assassin".. The next couple the drummer just blows your face off, Then a few more songs, the lead guitar shreds you into little bits.. After 5 or 6 songs in you just give up trying to figure out who is your favorite and just go with it..

[@wave8359]

Saiki !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jota16BR]

It would be awesome to see you react to "Thrill" or "Play (LIVE)". They have a lot of great songs.

[@j-rocktours1517]

I've listened to theri live at 4/13. Their live one step ahead!

[@sacluvsBM]

This is hands down the very best hard rock band on the planet today bar none. Amazing band. Sacramento loves Band-Maid and so do l. Check their song Order.

[@serpentofhades]

I’m here for misa

[@tsukuyaroman5239]

very very nice reaction!!!

[@HalXV]

They're in their 20's I think misa (bass player) is the oldest but her age is nowhere to be found I know that kobato (rhythm guitar, back vocal, lyrics, founder) is 26 and Saiki (vocals) is 24. They're all so funny specially kobato the rhythm guitar some people say she's seriously missing a screw, she's the one that came out with the idea of maids playing hard rock and forced the other members into wearing the suits haha, she nags the vocalist to the point she has to kick her away, and often lays flat on the ground in the street.

[@robertbutler8743]

Hey there Ross,,,thanks for a genuine reaction to these Angels of Rock,,,Band Maid have arrived,,,just an Awsome band ,,,,you may also be impressed with ALDIOUS,,,I SUGGEST MERMAID, & eternal delusion ,,please enjoy,,thanks Robby,Aus...❤️❤️❤️

[@yugoxgc]

You know the interesting trend I noticed is that Yes a lot Japanese metal/rock bands are very feel good... But theres also part of "work for it" too... Like its ... hmm.. Like Cheering for you to get better cause you can get better than you are now... That kinda feel. You get what I mean? I can really get behind to living & sending out that Kind of message

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Band Maid senpai! Miku Kobato san is my sensei on rhythm guitar. She’d be the coolest life coach. Po!

Nightwish - THE POET AND THE PENDULUM live in Wembleey

[@imnotchikao6317]

If I'm not mistaken, they're in their mid-20s. Thanks for checking them out.

[@samikoivisto7705]

Kanami, Misa & Akane are in their mid-20's, Saiki early 20's and Miku either late 20's or early 30's...

[@user-pe9fj5du2l]

Actually Miku is mid 20's.

[@Augmintt]

Reddit has Miku as the oldest (Born 1991.10.21) and Saiki is the youngest (1994).

[@samikoivisto7705]

Thanks for the corrections guys.

[@raid7752]

Jimmy Page( LED ZEPPELIN) just after seeing the band play in Tokyo in 2016. He complimented Akane. Akane was star struck. She later said Mr Jimmy Page-san offered her much encouragement and she promised to do her best. SAIKI(QUEEN)LEAD VOCALS MIKU(SMALL PIGEON)VOCAL & GUITAR KANAMI(THE SUNAMI)LEAD GUITAR & CHORUS MISA(ASSASSIN)BASS GUITAR & CHORUS AKANE(PRINCESS)DRUMS & VOCALS

[@timcuster4807]

lovebites - shadowmaker is an amazing japanese band

[@gerardcahill5823]

BEWARE - reacting to Band Maid songs is a slippery slope to addiction.

[@MrDzala]

Can attest to that... hooked since the first album... please send help.

[@borntraitor289]

starting with DICE.. it's almost too much.. gotta ease into it!

[@Badllamah]

Same here.... the only help is ... MORE Band-Maid! It's a life long affliction, thankfully 😎

[@MisakaMikotoLuv]

I CANT STOP WATCHING THEIR VIDEOS! DONT SEND HELP IM GOING IN DEEP

[@paulread4886]

Haha too late for me, must passed 200 plays already. They a fucking amazing live too.

[@rismari9545]

Pls react to the other Japanese male bands. You should check Galneryus .MATENROU Opera and Versailles. Syu (guitarist )from Galneryus is a genius. One of the best guitarists in Japan. MATENROU OPERA and Versailles are visual kei bands but their technique are amazing too. All member of Versailles are MEN!!!!!You must be astonished 😆 GALNERYUS- RAISE MY SWORD kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqOlqYOin9anZq8 GALNERYUSWINGS OF JUSTICE live kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5m8o2qpesqcbpY Galneryus/Angel of Salvation kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKTMant7or-fb7s MATENROU OPERA - Kassai to gekijyo no Groria kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqbPnoxrlMmfl7c MATENROU OPERA-Burning Soul kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp-nq2pmi62Vorc Versailles / MASQUERADE (All members are male) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYbQdnueZqijfrc

[@yb-minjooniesuga-ot7-btsba157]

YASSS BAND-MAID FREANKIN ROCK THERE SO TALENTED BADASS AWESOME. Plz React to Wagakki band -senbonzakura They mix traditional modern Japanese music with Rock and there just so talented awesome too .

[@OrangeFreeman]

Heymoonshaker - Colly Drop. It's a British duo with an odd but good sounding combination of beatbox and garage blues rock with a great vocals from Andy Balcon

[@paulread4886]

Scandal > THEN (2009 @ 16-19yo), first tour and they are still touring the the world , 11 albums now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWmqdn5rgaunm7M Spaceranger by Scandal , kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqTYoGaraaxnnrc Sakura Goodbye by Scandal.

[@prodigypenn]

I would suggest Wagakki Band, they have 7 members playing a mix of traditional and modern instruments, and they are each a master of their craft, and the lead singer as well.

[@mountainchin5799]

DICE is a killer tune of Band Maid

[@opganteng2447]

3:10 thisssssssss 🤟

[@futtbux]

Where did you go?

[@raid7752]

JIMMY PAGE OF (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BAND-MAID, enough said....

[@rainbowalienpoop5894]

Great band! If you want some other bands to listen to: Hello Sleepwalker, The Oral Cigarettes, BRIDEAR, Exist trace, Man with a Mission. All great bands too!!

[@itsarchie1261]

Great band, great song, seen them live a few times over the last few years and they are fantastic, the bassist and drummer get a massive sounding rhythm section locked down, super super tight. Not sure about their ages exactly but I'd guess they're early-to-mid twenties? Another j-rock band you might be interested in is Doll$Boxx. They are not straight up hard-rock like Band Maid, a bit of a genre mashup really, but they're on a similar spectrum to Band Maid I guess. I'd suggest checking out their track Loud Twin Stars to see what you think of them if you're interested in trying them out.

[@ember-evergarden]

Listen to "Silent Life" from Rivers of Nihil off the album Where Owls Know My Name. Might be album of the year alongside the new Alkaloid album.

[@user-qd8rz5gb5d]

最高の1曲👏🥰👏。

[@me262talon2]

Rosstafloss could you do "Choose Me" by BandMaid"?

Hey, RosstaFloss, hope you are OK! Desperately awaiting your next Babymetal reaction! :-)

[@Togglevolt]

Please react to Dimmu Borgir - Blessings Upon the Throne of Tyranny, great great song. And since you really love Wintersun I can recommend a band called Imperanon, especially the song "Stained"

[@josemanuelperez2853]

You mentioned a few time "top of the world" and i can´t resist to mention a veteran band, also a japanese band from the 80´s: Shonen Knife. A punk-rock band They start in 1981 and they are still active. The front vocal and guitar is now 57 (yes, 57). They are a punk-pop but the songs are very "fun", even they made the opening in Japan for "The Powerpuff Girls" They made a version of the classic "Top of the world" from "The Carpenters" and they do a nice work Chek it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3PEZGlmed9kqbM English isn´t my fisrt language, so maybe a do a few mistakes

[@MaximusSkywlaker]

Pleeeease react to Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram official video. They are a japanese band, and the level of musicianship and the voice of the female vocalist is just unbelievable! You will love it :D

Hey Ross are you okay? Hope all is well........... I just looked on your twitter and I see you are busy. So I will not worry. lol But for that worry you owe me a Nightwish song. "Song of Myself" from Wacken 2013 or "Seven Days to the Wolves" at Barona Areena would be good. Thanks!

Love your Channel;) pleeaase react to Haggard - of a might divine :)

[@ishizukahikaru643]

The issue with american music these days is that instead of focusing on creating music around artist identity and letting creation be at it's core is that artists are so focused on creating music around politics. Like that Jussie Smollett music vid so focusing around racism and black lives matter. After watching his and listening to his vid it really made me feel not good, just with all that negativity and white hate just really rubbed me the wrong way. Band-maid doesn't care about politics, their music is about them, their identity as a girl rock group that focus on giving their audience a good time. It's about making people feel good and living in the moment. This is why Japanese girl bands are starting to take over the rock scene worldwide.
