BAND-MAID / influencer (Official Music Video) | OLDSKULENERD REACTION

[@GeographRick]

Misa’s image as dark and brooding has evolved. When I saw them live and stood eight feet away from her I was amazed at how gorgeous she is. And yes she is all over that bass, even more than what I thought.

[@K.H.D710]

Ever since they moved to Pony Canyon label, they've been putting English subtitles to their official videos. They've even putting English subtitles to their older videos as well. Pony Canyon obviously understands the Band-Maid fan base very well😏 This song is in my top 5 fav Band-Maid songs for sure! Surrender love, and hunky-dory day👍😉

[@hiawatha.g]

I would remove the "from Japan" qualifier. They are my favorite rock band in the world now, and I'd say they are my favorite since the Beatles. Close call with Nightwish. Happy for you that you'll see them live--I've seen them and it's life changing.

[@SLKRR]

I will be there at Houston, too. Can't wait to see this show!

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Band-Maid & OldSkule 👍 Thanks for always being a Fan !! ❤️🎙🎸🥁😎👌

[@tommcfall1274]

Still and always the most beautiful and amazing band on this or any other planet. I will be seeing them Oct 19th here in Phoenix AZ and I can't stand the wait. I bought a cute little plush gorilla for my goddess Akane....It will be in a gift bag with bananas

[@tcntad87]

I knew her spitting bars and the bass would get you :P

[@makmiskell3733]

I'd like know how they go the ladies and their gear down there. Thanks OSN!

[@TexasVeteranPatriot]

Awesome!! See you in Houston! I'll be the one bent over the rail through the whole show, bad back, but not keeping me from the front at Kanami's feet....

[@atldawg8642]

MISA! MISA! MISA! Loved your reaction when she just goes off 😆

[@waynebenedict5785]

Let's go, It's Showtime! Great new song and a awesome video! Can't wait for the US Tour, I get to see them twice! Always a Hunky-dory Day when Band-Maid is in the house!

[@chrisgoldston9755]

Stunningly good 😎🤘🔥🔥🔥all hail MISA!!!!!!!

[@mmasque2052]

Your expression on MISA’s bass solo and Kanami’s follow-up is absolutely priceless!

[@michaelpeck6746]

Yep can't wait to see them in DC in October and yeah theses ladies are epic

[@Mike739107]

Band Maid is so on point. 🔥 They knock it out of the park Every. Single. Time.

[@phaeron]

'Hold-my-beer-moment' is something I'll have to remember. 😂👍🏻 When you paused before the solo part and already highlighted Misa and Kanami for what they had contributed to the song up to that point, I was already grinning from ear to ear and wondering what kind of face you would make a few seconds later. 🤭 You're absolutely right, MISA is an absolute bass monster in the most positive sense, and Kanami's 'answer' to it is no less impressive. As you say, each of them stands out somehow. After having the song on continuous loop since yesterday, for me, it's Saiki who is even sexier than ever with her deep voice, and Akane who drives the song with her gallop on the toms (I don't know if you can call it that) right from the beginning, during the chorus and the fills in between. Is it my new #1 from Band-Maid? No, but I still like it for a lot of things. 9 years with quite a few albums and I'm still waiting for a song of theirs that I don't like. 🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊

[@adamhastings750]

going to see them in seattle!! I just wanted to drop a little thank you, your reactions are what I credit with my introduction to this band and they have become my fav band and reawakened my love for music, so thanks OSN!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Nice!

[@tommcfall1274]

Yes, I discovered them on KZbin on March 3 2019 and my life has not been the same. They are musical porn!!!!!

[@haggaisimon7748]

Will you sing, hunky dory? Please, please, upload the video 😅😅😅

[@TehPhysics]

MISA, the Goddess of Rumble, steals another soul. Flawless victory!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。This MV was filmed at a famous stone quarry (Ishikiri-Sanmyaku) located in Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo. Kanami was very scared when she stood near the brink of the cliff but she could defy the fear once cameras started to capture her playing scene. [source : Gekirock news]. "Influencer" was played on Sep.7 at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo in Band-Maid's pre-US concert as the 13th song and that was the premiere (live debut). Just so you know, I witnessed it at the venue ヽ(^o^)丿. Uh oh, don't say "lucky you!" 😜

[@crabuki1273]

I won't say "lucky you" but I will openly tell you I'm jealous as hell :)

[@lordvorador5735]

You lucky bastard... 😆 just kidding. I look forward to seeing it live this October in Philadelphia and NJ! 🤘

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

@@lordvorador5735 Thanks 💛 "Lucky bastard" ... that is the words I wanted to hear 🤣 Then you will be another lucky bastard in Philadelphia 😄

[@Mythricia1988]

I think Misa is slowly actually becoming the grudge. But seriously, she looks incredible in her new get-up. Thirdly, I'm so amused that we were all joking about a Saiki rap/hiphop album after her rapid-fire Blooming lines.... And now here we are, Saiki raps. It makes me laugh out loud every time, it's brilliant! And yeah, hearing her lower spoken voice is always a treat. Having heard her in some interviews etc, that is legit her regular speaking voice.

[@lurkmerchant]

Did you notice Misa doing chit-chat-chit-chat at the end of first half of her solo? then vocals cuts in, which I love before she starts get second half of the solo.

[@gordonbell8728]

I'll be seeing them in Chicago the last gig of the US tour!!!! I'm so excited to see them live. I just got the Unleash EP and blu-ray special edition from the pre-order and it just has me more hyped to see them live!live!!!!! Please keep reacting to Band Maid no matter what they put out!!!!

[@joeseconi250]

Gonna see them Oct 28 in NYC and Oct 30 in Jersey....I cant wait, Its gonna be epic...Great reaction and now that the EP is out how about an album listening party.....Just sayin

[@Toobeegort]

Band-Maid blows your head off, and you come back for more immediately, so good.

[@SoryIrippedUrHeart]

The highlight when Misa bass solo comes down to the end was so epic ,it's so freaking nerve jaw dropping whatever you call it but gives me chill down into my nerve damn so good{oooooodddddd

[@haggaisimon7748]

I would put Akane on top of this song. As for lyrics, it’s mind blowing. Hunky dory day! Love it!

[@Raiden-R]

BAND-MAID is future monster band. 😱🤟

[@RahimRahmat]

Wait.... what dya mean by "future" ???!!

[@Raiden-R]

@@RahimRahmat 💦future 🙅→ Now👍 ok？

[@paulpetersen879]

Band Maid doing Band Maid things....

[@JK-tz6kk]

They have new armor (Fighting gear) for the US tour. Misa looks like she is wearing a "Hakama" (traditional Japanese pants worn by nobility and Samurai of old, and, today, Aikido practitioners). She did say on Twtr that she might trim her bangs. Don't do it, Po! Don't want to look like Gogo Yubari, but more like O-Ren Ishii. 🦍

[@Metal_Auditor]

I knew you'd be on top of this one. Looking forward to it.

[@OldSkuleNerd]

Did it live during my twitch stream tonight

[@Metal_Auditor]

@@OldSkuleNerd ah cool. I follow you on Twitch, but I rarely actually get on the site.

[@sixtofive]

I really hope they play this live on the US tour!

[@shinigamiwolfen]

Oh shit. I'm flying to Houston to see them. I'll buy you a beer if I see you.

[@najrenchelf2751]

These queens are POPPIN OFF - HOLY SH!T :D ... SHEEEEEEEEEESSSSHH

[@danbuter]

Kanami spent 75% of the song playing a solo. Misa and Akane are always amazing. Miku and Saiki were both great, as well. Nice reaction!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Soon we'll hear Influencer LIVE and "surrender love" to the Maids. That's beyond a Hunky Dory Day! Thx, Mr. Nerd!

[@perrinklumpp4664]

Thanks for a fun reaction and analysis. Can't wait to see them in San Diego!

[@dragonmac1234]

I laughed at the "hold my beer" comment after the Misa and Mincho bass and guitar runs. I could listen to that bass all day, Misa is the mistress of the dirty, growling, thundering bass riff. Miku worked in a Maid Cafe before starting the band and liked the juxtaposition between cute maid costumes and rock music 🤘

[@brittjannesath2539]

That bass run was awsome and made the whole song epic 😀

[@iemitsu]

Saiki was spitting bars in "Blooming"...just sayin.

[@davidestrada1484]

You're the best, and the Band-Maid girls, are always outstanding. Thank you so much for the reaction, following you from Spain, keep it up, my friend!!!

[@BayneUpton]

I know I'm six months late, but I just watched the making of this video, and it was 37 degrees Celsius there in the quarry when they filmed this !!!! I can't imagine being out there, and then toss in the outfits they're wearing !?!

[@1972cd]

Even thought I detest having rap sampling in rock music, it is still an awesome song. Enjoyed the reaction, have a good one. I won't be in houston, but I will be at the concert near me

[@theotherbrotherguy]

After listening to this a few times, I was thinking oh man...what a groove...OSN is gonna love this lol

[@sean1728]

This band is unstoppable.

[@RudiTheMan]

Band Maid is just being Band Maid, they just out do themselves,

[@jamestalkington6306]

"It doesn't even matter that they're maids...." so like if KISS actually learned to be decent musicians instead of ONLY leaning on their gimmick? yea I said it.

[@user-sk9pb9bw8v]

Привет из России. Мне тоже очень нравятся эти девчонки.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Miku holds that final scream for almost 6 measures at the top of her range.

[@Metal_Auditor]

I listened to the new album this morning. With the lack of variety compared to their previous four albums, I don’t expect I’ll put this one on quite as often, but it’s definitely a hard rock monster.

[@maxmaidiac2237]

YOU ALWAYSVKNOW WHATNTO BUY FOR SUPER MUSIC FANS.

[@johnmatthew102]

I think what you’re seeing with MISA is that she quit straightening her hair. No more straight bangs and her flowing locks give her a Morticia Addams look.

[@keithmeyer9558]

The Houston show is 1 day after Miku's Birthday.

[@DaElfer]

Will you listen to them in a quarry Or in some sand I would listen to them anywhere Old school man The spitting bars isn't written by Miku. It's clupppo hehehe It's hold my Jim bean

[@DoctorChange106]

excellent

[@stealthcabbie1336]

I have not laughed WITH a reaction in such a long time as with this one. Thank you!! I love their EP, but "wait for it", I personally think that this one of the "not my thing" songs' from the EP...... yet, it still Rocks.. Cool.

Nice one. missed out on the pre-us tour. I have the time, the money, and possibly the opportunity to see them in Seattle but... Not really safe in downtown Seattle at night or during the day.

[@cobraglatiator]

ey man, been skippin around your channel some,(watching various videos that catch my eye,.) thought of a reaction suggestion for you: now i hear you like folk, and you clearly like metal, so i have a folk band metal fans like for you, and i can't see if you've ever done a video on them before, Heilung, more than a folk band, they seek to bring you the closest thing they possibly can to songs/other performed by the relevant peoples, straight out of the germanic iron age. largely pre-viking age, scandinavian focus, they do have one or two song based off viking age poems or runestones or what have you, but mostly it's pre-viking age, more iron age. as for the song to recommend, i can say go for Krigsgaldr, it was MY first, another one i'm thinking of is "In Maidjan" those are from the first album, they've got a second out now. i will also say,IMO as a general rule, go for the live performances where you can,any music video versions may be different and,personally, i like the live ones best, you can find i think all? of the songs live,in one big long video, a full performance, their first concert(i think.) or any individual song with LIFA in the title, i think Norupo is the same either way. but don't quote me on that, i've mostly watched the music video, funny enough. *TLDR:* so yea, i think you should check out Heilung, either/any Krigsgaldr, In Maidjan, Norupo, or any others, really.

[@jamestalkington6306]

Dam, Houston is a little outside my reach for a show. What they got against us? Oh yea, crap radio stations that won't feature new artists
