🎀 BAND-MAID🎀 It's MISA's Birthday!!! 🎂 🎁

[@lakenneth374]

MISA's Birthday Tweet: "I've been able to grow old again this year. I'm looking forward to your messages. Thank you 💋. I'm so happy. My dream is to enjoy music until I become a grandmother. I will continue to do my best freely. From now on I'll do my best!"

[@sacluvsBM]

Beautiful. Absolutely. Especially since there are bassists with heads so big they can't find a big enough hat to fit.

[@markhunter8554]

Your best is already better than many a bassist.

[@overrooftops]

You are the "quiet one," yet I am so impressed with your bass skill and... your soft smile. 💕

[@charlescrawford5417]

The best bassist in the world. Thank you MISA, thank BAND-MAID, thank you Dorian💙

[@_BAND-MAID_fan]

Hi Charles :-) Thank you for watching.👍

[@johnp.johnson1541]

What?! We love Misa but she is not the best.

[@_BAND-MAID_fan]

@@johnp.johnson1541 Hi John. Clearly, MISA inspires a heck of a lot of bassists. I'm definitely not qualified to argue for _anyone_ as "best." What IS clear to me, though, is MISA takes Kanami's basic patterns and melds them into some truly inspiring lines that to my ear, add a unique layer of energy and movement into each song. Something special (and certainly not your standard track the root fare). Imho, it's a critical component of the overall band sound and a _big_ part of their energy. I certainly can't think of anyone else who could make this band better than MISA does.

[@johnp.johnson1541]

@@_BAND-MAID_fan You: "I certainly can't think of anyone else who could make this band better than MISA does." Is Band-Maid interviewing other bassists? Is her job in jeopardy? The musical part of BM started out with the "Trinity" of Tōno, Hirose, and Misa. So she has been there from the start, an integral part of the band. You: "Clearly, MISA inspires a heck of a lot of bassists" In the USA, in 2014, total new guitar sales were 1.10 million units. If we assume a ratio of 4:1 for guitars, to basses, then 275 thousand basses were sold. You claim Misa inspires many. How many of the 275 thousand were inspired by her? How many in Japan do you suppose she has inspired? It is fine to have preferences including preferences for music. I like Band-Maid and prefer them over many other bands. But these days, people engage in such crazed hyperbole over everything under the sun. If someone has a different view, that one is a "Nazi." If someone likes a bassist, that one is "the best ever." What is the motivation of the original poster? Misa is not even the best female rock bassist in Japan. Certainly she is not the female best bassist in Japan or the best bassist of either sex. Apparently the original poster has never heard Juna Serita play. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnKbgX6uZZ6UpZo There are many stellar bassists in Japan alone playing right now. Hisayuki Motoishi comes to mind. Serina from TRiDENT comes to mind.

[@_BAND-MAID_fan]

@@johnp.johnson1541 Don't see how I was suggesting MISA's job was under any sort of threat. -To clarify, MISA is not just the bass player in BAND-MAID, her skill-set and style are a huge part of their unique sound and I couldn't imagine anyone else who could 'fit' the band better. Hmm... Not sure how I am to know how many players or people in general (as a percentage) MISA inspires across the planet? What I can do, is look for evidence. Eg., take a quick peek at how many 'covers' there are of a particular bassists work, or reactions, or perhaps, how many followers they may attract or even mentions there may be from a google search... To use your own (excellent👍) example as a comparison: Mentions: Juna Serita 35,600 "MISA" (BAND-MAID) 15,200,000 twitter followers: Juna 4k MISA 33k I'd imagine if you could apply a full range of metrics to every last player, you'd find it difficult (if not impossible) to define who IS the very "best" bassist on the planet, because afaik, no one person is best at everything. Surely, feel, technique, style, experience, innovation, inspiration/influence. and perhaps even choice of tools would all need to be taken into account. I.e., It all depends on how one defines 'best.' I'm well aware of many excellent players, and by definition, hyperbole is _not_ meant to be taken as hard fact. There exists many 'Best Mom' mugs... Motivation of the original poster? Guessing he posted a birthday greeting to MISA because he is impressed by her (and possibly a little enamoured ;-). I thought "Best Bass player in the World" to be an awesome _birthday_ message.

@@GaryHolloway-810 And the feeling is mutual. I am seeing the fan base growing here as well. Two years ago when some would remark about my t-shirt "Who is that?" I hear today "oh, you like these guys, too?" It is great to hear. My love for Band-Maid was fostered by you and Dorian and several others and l appreciate that very much. My one hope right now is that casual fans can begin to understand this amazing group and stop or limit assumptions. Especially the assumptions that diminish our band and its message. I salute you all. Any friend of Band-Maid is a friend of mine. (Whether they like it or not. 😉) Dorian, thank you for your high quality love letters to our ladies. Your labors of love are the best.

[@McKavian]

It always amuses me to see pics of MISA and the rest in street clothes and being all girly. I'm used to seeing them working and being professional with some, but not a lot, of clowning around. So, it's nice to see the other sides of them. With as reserved as MISA is, it's good to know that she's a ham, too. I have to wonder how often she wears through her stockings as she goes barefoot through most concerts.
