@@JbfMusicGuitar Breaking down Band-Maid's music, like you do, Jack, must provide the ultimate puzzle. Each piece seems a bit weird. But the way Kanami and the girls place those interlocking musical tabs together creates something we've never heard before in rock music. It's fresh, complex and satisfying revealing an unexpected soundscape. There's really nothing like Maid music, is there?

I'm actually not at all a friend of trashy or chaotic metal music, which is why I pressed the pause button after a few seconds the first time I heard this track. With the feeling of being run over by a freight train, I first went to the kitchen to make myself a coffee. However, these few seconds were enough to burn the melody which the guitars play in my brain and I whistled it quietly without noticing it. :) Can't remember ever liking 'controlled chaos' so much. But the ladies put the icing on the cake just a few days ago when they had this song in their set list of their acoustic online concert. I still can't believe how well they performed the song so minimalistically with just a guitar and Saiki's and Kanami's angelic voices. 💞😇 Greetings and in advance the best possible start into the new year! _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever.

@@JbfMusicGuitar They were far from being uninspired. Back then everybody had to because TV and record companies demanded it more or less, no wonder many were uninspired by having to play acoustic. This time Band-Maid chose themselves to do an acoustic event with 14 songs in it, and IMHO they nailed it, and sounded great and it was a fun time for them. Saiki's voice was at top level all thru the event, Miku had a few solo songs and she was great too. New this time was Kanami did way more chorus and backing vocals, and for the first time ever MISA and Akane sang choruses, damn I hope they do this more often because it sounded absolutely fantastic with all girls singing :-)

Kanami has _two_ Digitech Drops on her pedalboard. It may be her favorite pedal; during their online "audition" she asked Herman Li if he had one. A couple other reactors have also caught that she will sometimes jump waaaaay up the neck on a string rather than the easier option of moving across the fretboard to a higher-pitched string. Best guess is she prefers the tone of doing it that way on some parts. Once again, your ability to note the elements they work in from widely-disparate styles outside of the usual hard rock comparisons is really valuable.

Your insight on it sounding circusey is correct, whether that was the Maid's intention or not, as I had also posted many times in other past reactions when this song dropped a year ago that it indeed had a familiar carnival/circusey feel to it when I first heard it. Because of my experience & exposure to western classical-type music when I was growing up in the 1970's & 80's (playing sousaphone/tuba/baritone in highschool), I eventually was able to pick up some past music that Different was similar to, in beats & rhythms. For a couple examples, if you listen to "Entry of the Gladiators" (aka "Thunder & Blazes") by Julius Fucik, from the 19th century, the descending chromatics may sound familiar. That piece eventually became known for being a theme at circuses, such as at Barnum & Bailey. Also listen to "Sabre Dance" by Aram Khachaturian, from the mid 20th century, to hear that fast 1-2-1-2 oompah-oompah beat, which to me is the "thrash circus music" that you were saying. It is somewhat, say, Gypsy-like, who they are indeed of Jewish descent, as you also said "traditional Jewish music". I had never seen anyone else comment about this except me, so perhaps whoever told you may have seen my comments about it a year ago, who knows, or they indeed had exposure to such types of traditional music as well. And as I have said before, I was not surprised that the Maids used this century-old style of music, as at least 3 of the gals are classically-trained, going to specific music school(s) in Japan, so getting exposed to both Western (European) & Eastern (Asian) classical music, as well as Modern western Impressionist/Classicist (early 20th century), et al, was likely a part of their syllabi. Great analysis & breakdown on your guitar.

In the online acoustic christmas show, you see Miku strum a chord wait a bit and then starts to sing in a higher note then the root note of the chord, what she does is using relative pitch. I does a bit of singing and chorus with the bands I play in, it's quite easy when you have that ability of relative pitch.

If you get the extended version, you can watch through the end of March. They really reworked their songs and it is fascinating how they change them. Not only did they do a version of Different, but several other songs you wouldn't expect - Black Hole and H-G-K. It isn't that expensive to get and well worth it. If you do get it, I don't think you would be able to do a direct reaction with the video included, but I would love to hear your take on the changes and choices they made.

Correction my friend. They do it always. They always do. You are getting dangerously close to becoming a full fledged Maidiac. And l say surrender now because resistance is futile. Carl Jung postulated the collective conscience of humanity. Things like in the past pyramids appeared in different corners of the world when the people who built those pyramids had no contact with each other. I think Band-Maid has managed to tap into a shared musical conscience that lives within so many of us. That's an opinion. Sacramento loves Band-Maid is a fact. Best regards.

Nice take Robert! I have the same thought about the pentatonic scale- it just seems to resonate with so many people ✨

@@JbfMusicGuitar Absolutely. Their apparent awareness of this and being able to strike this "chord" ( pun intended) is what, l believe, makes them very special. If someone had merely described this band to me say 8 years ago and told me l would wind up four score in their corner l would have looked at that person like they had a screw loose. Turns out l might have been the one with a few loose screws. Thanks for your thoughtful analysis.

Here’s a Band-Maid song called Wonderland that gets overlooked often, probably cause it’s kinda different for band-maid (which says a lot lol). But it’s not like as heavy or fast so maybe that’s why. Hope you get the chance to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmXLqX-bfcekkNE

I love how you can talk for a minute and a half after only hearing the first four words. I never thought about the difficulty of opening a song with harmonies. Learn something every video. Others already mentioned that the Dice/Different live video has Kanami low in the mix and is nowhere near as good as the official music videos as far as sound quality goes.

Now do their song, 'Screaming'. Just kidding. You think this is Demented Circus Metal? That one's even more over the top. No, do a BAND-MAIKO song. That's their April Fools Day persona.

I really like the song, but the sound quality is not optimal on this live video. I get that you like to react to live music and it's a good idea most of the time, but in this case I prefer the studio version.

Yeah it's not the nicest mix, but on the plus side it was fairly easy to pick out what each person in playing!
