[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

[@greylocke100]

They refer to their Maid outfits as their "Battle Armor". They wanted this concert to be as a gift for their fans for Christmas, so they dressed up in Christmas/Autumn colors.

[@CHUCKCHARLES-uo8ld]

PLEASE, MORE BAND MAID RESCTIONS FROM YOU !

[@billhallisey7298]

Beautiful setting, beautiful women, beautiful music. This performance just brings absolute joy to my heart. I hope it does yours.

[@kevinlane7555]

It does

[@TheFishton]

Hi again ! just wanted to let you my suggestion here : my favourite, About Us, a live performed song which they dedicated to their fans during the pandemic, beautiful lyric and very beautiful melody

[@franshendrix1404]

Will make anyone emotional

[@cembor]

Miku is an amazing lyricist. Their acoustic concert, which just ended on 3/25 sadly was amazing. An hour of them playing songs they rearranged for this performance that they released on Christmas Day in 2021. MISA is the bassist and, in my opinion, is one of the best rock and roll bassists playing currently. Her sense of timing, her style of playing, and her bass tone are incredibly distinctive and unique. She's my favorite musician in the world right now up there with the likes of Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters for example (RIP Taylor Hawkins).

[@dragonmac1234]

I agree about Misa, she is in my top five all time favourite bass players along with Geezer Butler, John Paul Jones, Steve Harris and John Entwistle. The grit and growl of her bass tone always puts a smile on my face. The assassin hits hard and fast :)

[@leftcoaster67]

Talent for these ladies are off the charts.

[@WalterStinnettPhotography]

Great reaction, Bisscute! You are absolutely correct about MISA and the bass. She has a prominent place in all their songs. She isn't just a drone in the background but her playing is almost like a lead instrument throughout their songs.

[@ronayala9456]

This was by far the best acoustic show I have ever watched. Everything that Band maid does is next level. Please react to their video for the song Blooming. It's my favorite and possibly their best.

[@patron40silver]

Thank you, Ron Ayala, for all of your BAND-MAID uploads. You and Vlad "The man" Chupin were the two that I watched non stop while waiting for new BAND-MAID music to come out. Freedom@Gramercy with Miku and Kanami, back to back, is still probably my favorite fan cam video.

[@ronayala9456]

@@patron40silver Just happy to contribute to this great community and to help spread the word for this amazing band.

[@Kevin6059]

I second that. Blooming is a great song 🤘

[@bradmenpes809]

Misa (bass) and Akane (drums - and my absolute favourite) are simply superb; the bedrock around which Mincho (lead guitar), Miku (rhythm guitar and vocal) and Saiki (lead vocal) revolve. Supremely talented individuals with the shared goal of serving one another to make Band-Maid the best band on the planet.

[@davejordan4094]

A fantastic show, the only band I follow. The acoustic show was a dream for me. Can't wait to see them live !

[@UltraHD.7]

You see, they can do everything 🙂 As you asked for more suggestions, here they are Maybe the live versions for "Real existence" or "Play", or the music videos for "Blooming" or "Dice". Bye 😊

[@jonthecomposer]

I love all your BAND MAID reactions. Thank you again for deciding to react. There's another great wink that Saiki does around the 0:37 mark of the official video for Bubble. I feel like she was really enjoying making that video because her presence in that video specifically just seems a bit happier and more flirty. Also, yes. It is typical for Japanese production to be more 'bass up front." And that is one of the great things about BAND MAID. MISA deserves to be heard. She's an amazing bassist. And for her lines to be good enough and clear enough for you to hear is just a testament to the mix as well as her talent. The back up vocalist and founder, Miku, is just so humble when it comes to showcasing the others' talent. She's most definitely a support player/singer. And that shows great musical maturity to step back out of the spotlight in order to make the whole group sound better.

[@edwardallen4051]

Now try Band Maiko (Band Maids alter ego) - Secret Maiko Lips or Gion-Cho for another stunning costume change.

[@philcalvino884]

Thanks for your perceptive reaction, Bisscute! I'd definitely recommend listening the original: it's very up-tempo and layered; the acoustic version simplifies the lines and calms everything down. Both are extraordinary in their own way.

[@user-crow_Tok]

🤘 Thailand 🇹🇭

[@TheJerm]

Thanks so much, Bisscute! Misa (The Barefoot Assassin) is the bass player and she's INCREDIBLE! But, she has to be because the whole band is INCREDIBLE! You really can't pick a bad song to react to. Band-Maid is THAT GOOD. I'll toss some suggestions anyway that''ll highlight the range these ladies have: "Alone" - mv: This is the first song their label allowed the band to put on an album that was entirely written, arranged, and produced by the band. It's pop-punk done better....WAY better. Do you like great guitar solos and amazing drum patterns? "Wonderland" - live: A Saiki (lead vocals, control tower, charisma in planet loads) highlight. A jazzy mid-tempo builder. Just gorgeous. "Manners" - mv or live: The best pure rock song I've ever heard. It's one of their many masterpieces. If you choose the live version, buckle-up (seriously. Also, put a helmet on) because it's coupled with a little progressive punk ditty called "Black Hole" that'll knock your shoes AND socks off. "Blooming" - mv: Another masterpiece or tour de force or...whetever. I really don't know what genre this song fits neatly into, if any. This track was basically composed with Kanami (lead guitar, main composer and arranger, genius) coming up with the basic song structure/melody and assigning the rest of the band "homework" to write their parts. Kanami then pieced it all together, and it's UNBELIEVABLE! Well, that was a bit of a rant, wasn't it? Believe it or not, it's STILL just the tip of the iceberg that Miku (band founder, rythym guitar, second vocals, 810 year old pigeon, Po!) built. There's so much tasty goodness you have to discover and the ride is EPIC! Be well! 🕊

[@yellowclip7862]

They do treat the bass right on this band. 😊 This whole concert was amazing! The arrangements where all incredible and, like you said, they make you happy all the way through. Great reaction, Biss! 👍

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you so much I appreciate it

[@dragonmac1234]

To be honest I prefer the hard rocking Band-Maid, but this quieter acoustic song is a nice change (although Akane not bashing the heck out of the drum kit looks a bit strange to me lol). This does showcase how comfortable they are playing together, and their skill with their respective instruments.

[@tonygriffin_]

Akane was a jazz drummer so is very skilled at using the rods she is using here instead of sticks, for a softer sound.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

MISA MISA MISA MISA - BEST BASSPLAYER IN HARD ROCK, she also play any other style at will.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid the best unplugged acoustic band ever. I am greateful that I bought the long archive ticket to the Christmas day concert, I watched the consert 30-40 times until the ticket ran out on March 25th. The concert contained 14 songs and is the best acoustic unplugged concert I've ever seen, and I saw them all in the 90s when unplugged was a thing. Please react to anything you like from Band-Maid :-) They threw in a Jazz part just for good measure, Kanami played a cool lick before returning to the chorus. They are such good singers, all of them.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

More peeks at an important, transformational group known as Band-Maid - a band relatively very few have even heard of. Why Why Why! Thx, Bisscute!

[@tommyjohnson9175]

I agree, think you would like "About Us". What band makes a song about how much they miss performing for their fans during the pandemic. I think it says something that they are telling us in a song that they feel cut off us as much we feel cut off from them right now.

[@shamalamadingdong5718]

Nice reaction Bisscute! Yes these ladies are very diverse. They play many different styles. To me they have a jazzy/funky vibe to them. Misa and Akane are rhythmic masters indeed but you have yet to see what they are truly capable of. Anybody who says that Saiki can't sing either has issues or is a hater. I hate to use such a simplistic term but they are simple minded people so I guess it fits. There is a lot to discuss but we can chat about it during your livestream...which anybody who likes these reactions should check out and join in on the fun.

[@_tyler5201]

Always a pleasure. It really is a beautiful version of this song. If you want to go back to rock stuff I'd highly recommend "Play" 👌

[@johnstroup3868]

Your description of the back up vocal being like "a hand on the shoulder" of the lead vocal is one of the best metaphors for how the vocals work in Band Maid that I have heard. Thanks for your reactions.

[@neilwoodley530]

🤣🤣🤣 Love your voice... "I cannot keep my eyes out of them..." Maybe not "correct" English but you express what we all feel. Band Maid bring so much joy! And you feel it. 😊

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thanks, glad you liked it ❤️

[@TehPhysics]

1:34 Ah, the Saiki Wink™! Apparently she doesn't even realize she is doing that while singing. I think it was Miku who pointed it out to her. Watch the music video for 'Bubble' at 2:27 to see her do it directly to camera in closeup. It's devastating! The only thing more powerful than The Wink™is Kanami going into Mincho Mode© Her power stance is so low she becomes an immovable object that exist outside the laws of physics. All the ladies have a "Special Move", or three, but I think those two are the most powerful. 😁

[@doobiejones9388]

Band Maid does it all! Great Reaction! 😊😎😊😎😊😎

Hi from Australia! Loved the reaction. You should check out the “Alone” MV. It’s the first track on an album that their label let them write. Of course, the rest is history! Enjoy!

Great job as usual, And to remember MISA, just remember how cool she is - so cool that she only needs one name.

Next take a look on "Moratorium " by Band-Maid . For the Vid go to "Billybilly" , it's not on YT.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Since this was a show that debuted on Christmas, the maids dressed as reindeer - sort of - with MISA in red because she's Rudolph. If you like seeing B-M out of the maid outfits, there are two videos from them under the name BAND-MAIKO. A maiko (pronounced "my-koh") is an apprentice geisha. BAND-MAIKO came about when, in 2018, BAND-MAID said they were changing their band name, their individual names, their look, and their sound. They were going to be known as BAND-MAIKO, dress as maiko with the oshiroi (white and red face paint), and incorporate traditional Japanese instruments (there's a word for that . . .) into their sound. They backed up all this with a music video for "Secret Maiko Lips," a remix of their song "Secret My Lips." All of this was an obvious April Fool's joke, but the response was so positive that in 2019, they released a BAND-MAIKO mini-album and a second music video of a 100% original song, "Gion-cho." Sadly, that's the last we've heard from BAND-MAIKo. Here's a link to both "Secret My Lips" and "Secret Maiko Lips."

For your next Band-Maid song, I recommend you do “Wonderland”. It combines incredible singing by Saiki with compositional genius by Kanami and fantastic execution and performance by the whole band.

Thanks for nice reaction, Bisscute! I'd suggest you check out the original version(maybe on Spotify?) as it is one of the most instrumentally heavy and intriguing song by them. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised how the Maids managed to strip down, and rendered as such a beautiful acoustic song. Keep on rockin! PO!

[@outwest1014]

Thank you recognizing the beauty of the lyrics. Miku, backing singer, writes the lyrics. She teaches Saiki the English lyrics. MISA on bass is too talented to hide, also she creates her lines for the songs. As does Akane. You do know that they have been touring in Germany since about 2015?

[@joki5346]

They were first touring overseas in 2016. Their first appearance in Germany was in Köln/Cologne on the 13th of October followed by Hamburg two days later, where Akane introduced herself as "Gorilla" and MISA MISA MISA celebrated her birthday with the crowd.

Very nice reaction :) you might enjoy acoustic "Smile" as well as acoustic Puzzle and Anemone ... This song is from the "conqueror" album.

[@cactustactics]

Yeah bass can kinda get buried a lot, especially in rock music! Often the guitars are the main instrument, and their sound is heavy and bassy too, so the actual bass gets kinda buried behind the guitars and the bass drum. But Misa gets to do a lot of interesting stuff instead of following the guitar parts, and the band makes space for it, so it's way easier to hear what she's doing - especially live! It's always nice to see people really enjoying a thing, there's so many songs you're gonna love! And yeah this video's up temporarily as a promo thing for the streaming concert, which ends soon. It's a shame, but it might be a licencing thing - a bunch of Japanese bands have had videos removed because of label shenanigans, including the maids. I think that's probably why people wanted you to react to this, while you still could! Maybe you're allowed to listen to the album version now ;)
