BAND-MAID - From Now On (Official Music Video) Reaction

[@TomRussell-cy6ll]

Hey Man...was so fun to watch you listen to this !!!!!!! I saw them a few month ago and when they played this song....Kanami goes into her Kanami trance and goes absolutely crazy....it was so much fun to see......because she is so cute and lovable and turns into an absolute BEAST when she straps on her guitar !!!!!

[@DrumAttic]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@LawrenceCox-bv9zt]

Good job on your memory of names. BAND-MAID is not just amazingly talented along with having infectious personalities, they are wonderfully unique with their song writing. I hope you will enjoy reacting or at least listening on your own time more BAND-MAID.

[@DrumAttic]

More and more of their music gets added to my "liked songs" playlist on Spotify all the time :)

[@killiansred1000]

Watching them perform this live is incredible. They are 100% locked in with each other for the whole song. A small lapse from anyone would put the song in jeopardy of sounding a little off center to the audience but they nail it every time.

[@DrumAttic]

I bet it is! Thanks for sharing!

[@phaeron]

Whoever sold you this song as a ballad.... Hats off! Good job! 🤣The moment right at the beginning when the ladies kicked off? _"Wait, what???"_ Priceless! When 4/5 of a band are enough to put many others out there in the shade, right? 🔥🤘🏻 If you really want to hear something "a bit softer", I also recommend the MV to 'Daydreaming', my #1 of these ladies, 'About Us', which they wrote especially addressed to all of us during the lockdowns, or 'Endless Story' which made even the ever-smiling Akane on drums get emotional during their US performances last year. I recommend the MV first and then this short fancam of it kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYCwYWCDls2jd9k . But be warned, all these songs have a tendency to blur your vision a bit. :) _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' 🎶🕊

[@sugaanessena3143]

They do that with 2/5.

[@DrumAttic]

I was genuinely surprised LOL Glad you enjoyed it! I added your suggestions to my list. Thank you so much!

[@RetiredInThailand]

You got the names right!! a ballad .... lol!!! Try 'Day Dreaming' or 'Wonderland' ... more 'balladie' but Kanami manages to throw in some of the most powerful solos imaginable while still making it fit perfectly with the songs.

[@DrumAttic]

Nice! I've got those on my list!

[@sugaanessena3143]

Kanami🥰took the vocals in her own hands on this one. (TM)

[@DrumAttic]

Yes she did! Thanks for watching!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this song performed live three times with this MV quality in Tokyo & Kawasaki and dropped my jaw three times 😲. I believe so did many of American audience in their recent two US tours. This song has been normally played in the middle of the setlist to give Saiki, lead vocalist, some break. They played this song, however, as opening at many festivals and in Guns N' Roses concert in Japan as support to the legendary band. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to the audience who knew nothing about the girls in maid outfit on the stage. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!" 😄 Don't miss the opportunity to see B-M perform in their concert(s) during their North American (US + Mexico) tour in August.

[@DrumAttic]

Thanks for watching and sharing! Unfortunately, they won't be anywhere near enough to where I live to go see them live :(

[@kennogawa6638]

Miku could not play guitar when she formed Band-Maid. But she has a world class teacher in Kanami.

[@DrumAttic]

That is an outstanding fact! Crazy talented! Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@kennogawa6638]

@@DrumAttic She has come so far now playing her own signature Zemaitas.

[@greylocke100]

No, not an instrumental, you can hear Kanami's' guitar singing the entire song with backing vocal by MISA.

[@DrumAttic]

Ah! Nice!

[@namenotimportant9788]

Now that’s a ballad ,sing along with the maids everyone

[@DrumAttic]

Thanks for watching!

[@増田仁-i9f]

Note that all the back tracks used in their music on disks, download data, MV/PV’s, and live shows are all done by the band.

[@greylocke100]

Yes either performed by the whole band or programmed by Kanami.

[@増田仁-i9f]

@@greylocke100 Probably (or most surely), the synthe play and programming are done by Mincho where the melodies and lines are written by, mainly Mincho, and independently from her, by MISA for her bass part and Ahchan for her drums. Another way of saying is that there are three song writers/arrangers in the band, and almost every musical piece of them is a fruit of their collaborations, not without greatest contributions from Kobato and Saichan.

[@DrumAttic]

That is super cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@Mikupigeon]

They just released a new MV shambles, the drumming is awesome!

[@DrumAttic]

I saw that and put it on my list for this coming week :)

[@edamameme1789]

People who first say its "just an instrumental" quickly discover there's no "just" with them, and rightfully so. Enjoy the ride. They're wonderful.

[@DrumAttic]

good point! It is so much more than "just" an instrumental!

[@MartyMcflyWorld]

What a song! The guitar riffs give me chills and amazing melodic soloing!! Bass reminds me of Steve Harris playing! Great share, bro!

[@DrumAttic]

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah, this band is crazy good! Thanks for watching!

[@MrGoodgorilla]

I knew about Band-Maid for a while, but "From Now On" killed me. I became a fan. I love this band. I love the sweet girls vs. their hard music. This is one of the most perfectly constituted bands that I've ever seen. They compliment each other like a jigsaw puzzle. THIS is NOT a ballad; this is unrelenting killer heavy. The stops and transitions are smooth as silk. I love this song. Btw - for instrumentals you might try "Don't Be Long", b-side of "Different" (Let's ... go ... it's ... showtime). There is a live video of Don't Be Long from the Gramercy '19. The Maids have such a fun time, especially the effervescent Miku. Just dropped recently is an instrumental version of "Sense" from Unleash. I heard it for the first and twentieth time yesterday. Akane (the "Gorilla") beats her drums like a rented mule and the mule owes her money. Sweet Mincho wields her axe like a serial killer getting busy..

[@DrumAttic]

They are outstanding for sure! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!

[@michaelpalmer3717]

A superb band of top flight musicians. Kanami's ever more complex songs means only the finest musicians can cope and cope they do in spades. She has to be one of the most creative lead guitars in the world.

[@DrumAttic]

Agreed! Thanks for watching!

[@ericadrum554]

Fantastic !!

[@DrumAttic]

Thanks, Erica!

[@Space_Ranger]

Good memory! Can you believe they do this live too?

[@DrumAttic]

That is crazy! I bet it's outstanding!

[@aboon2u]

When you're expecting a ballad and get From Now On. Talk about a shock to the system.

[@DrumAttic]

LOL Indeed, but a pleasant shock!

[@DaElfer]

thinking its a ballad then taking a sip when they dropped the intro... youre lucky you didnt spit it back out into the camera

[@DrumAttic]

Very true! Thank you for watching!

[@Davey-Boyd]

About instrumentals. Saiki the lead singer has had throat surgery in the past so the band are very careful with her voice. They play 2+ hour shows so to give Saiki a break around mid-set they do three things. 1. Play an instrumental, 2. Miku (rhythm guitar) takes lead vocals for a song or two (she has a track where she takes lead vocals once per album) and 3. Miku will do her legendary and hilarious "Magic Time" MC set. Then Saiki comes back on to finish the set. So yeah, they have a number of really cool instrumental tracks. Check out the live MV of "Onset" for another instrumental banger!

[@DrumAttic]

Thanks for the information! Another example of how they are always working together and for each other! I have Onset on my list :) Thanks for the comment!
