There are a number of all female bands from Japan and Korea that are killer. The Maids are at the top of the pile.

[@zer0tzer0]

Welcome to The Best Band In The World! And yes, all there songs rock like this, if not more so. And they just finished up their 10th Anniversary Tour end of last year. So you've got some catching up to do. I suggest one a week, at least, since some can't manage to get one a day out. Each member has their own personal influences, which include, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Smashing Pumpkins, Sheena Ringo, Maximum The Hormone and The Pixies. They don't stick to any single genre and keep switching them up, sometimes within the same song They manage to keep it familiar yet different and always distinctly BAND-MAID. They are a genre unto themselves. You don't have to pause all that much. A few pauses and backups us usually enough. And yes, they even do soft acoustic ballads. So, though they do consider themselves to be Hard Rock, don't forget to check out the Softer Side of BAND-MAID. However LIVE is where they really shine. And, with few exceptions, the Official LIVE is usualy the definitive version of the songs

[@freewheeler2go]

For me, this band was the discovery of a lifetime.

[@lonniekramlich6241]

11 years and around 130 great songs, I consider these Lady's to be the best rock band on the planet. Welcome !! They toured the States in 2022 & 23, saw them 3 times, and they are phenomenal live ! 😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

[@LS-uv9gg]

I envy the people who newly discover Band-Maid, and have soooooo many spectacular songs to journey into, lol

[@nooyck]

Welcome to Hard (Core) Rock Band name BAND MAID . Manners in Top 50 song for me . ROCK n ROLL in hand of Maid !!! 130 song of them have feels Carlos santana , Jimi hendrix , Steve vai , Metallica , ZZ Top , other band in 70'-90' .

[@mickyhierro3901]

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

[@tommyjohnson9175]

🤘Love, Band Maid!!🤘

[@tommyjohnson9175]

This their Groove Rock sound... just one of many. You may notice some comments sign off with [Our Rock never dies ever, Forever!] This song is where that comes from.

[@Maidiac214]

I know without even reading comments that my fellow Maidiacs have given a plethora of information about the Ladies and every positive adjective to describe them. There is a great friendly and helpful Reddit for BAND-MAID that has answers to almost any question conceivable about them.

[@jeremydawkins8814]

Welcome to BAND-MAID no other band will hit you like they do. In more ways than you think.

[@Davey-Boyd]

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Band-Maid won't block your reactions, they fully support reactors and even watch them. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

[@mikeat2637]

Another great comment @Davey-Boyd !!! You killed it yet again. Kudos.

[@snowdog5895]

Congratulations on discovering the #1 band in the world today! Buckle up and enjoy the ride!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂🕊

[@curtisrrobles7885]

🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@philcalvino884]

Thanks, great first react to Band-Maid! I think you pretty much summed it up regarding their sound being unique. You'll find different styles of rock - hard, punk, ballad, prog, mid-tempo, etc. --- but it's always going to be Band-Maid and you'll be guaranteed a level of craftsmanship, creativity, technical performance that won't let you down. You might be interested in how they look and sound live, in which case any of the recent Yokohama songs from their channel (Hate, endless story, Don't you Tell ME) might be a good start. But frankly, you could randomly point to a song on their channel and that would work too.

[@dennisacarter4332]

Glad you liked our MAIDS!!!

[@rjaywest378]

You ain't see nothing yet! Best rock band on the planet, but best experienced live.

[@kevinmiller1121]

I know what you're thinking, and the answer is: Yes, they're this good. All the time. Jump on the train and enjoy the ride!

[@Xrousn]

Thee things. One, Band Maid won’t block you. Two, you were right, they are unique (they are unlike anything you’ve heard before) and three, you just found the greater band currently on the planet. Really. 👍🎸🎤🎸🥁🎸

[@douglasbrown1345]

Great reaction. Thank you for supporting the Maids

[@bocatampere]

Been working in rockbusiness 30 years, seen circa 4K gigs, seen all the major ones many times and Band-Maid is my number One. They have it all..Passion 🔥 Work 💪 Heart ❤️ Talent 🤘 Best liveband ever in this Planet. Magical band, amazing musicians, humble humans. 10 years and 120+ songs of pure greatness 💥 Welcome to the Pigeon Hole 🤘 Greets from Finland 🇫🇮

[@Studio-Coast_Kid]

Welcome to Band-Maid, you're lack of was fun to watch LoL! 😎🤘 Each member of the band has their favorite musical influence and they're all different. Kanami - Lead Guitarist and musical composer site Carlos Santana and Larry Carlton as her guitar influences. Miku Kobato's - Band Founder, Rythm Guitar and Co-Lead vocals influence is J-Pop star Shina Ringo Akane Hirose - Drums favorite band and major influence was Japanese Progressive Punk Band Maxim the Hormone. Misa - Bassist, favorite bands were the Smashing Pumpkins and Bassist Paz LeChantin from the Pixies. Saiki Atsumi - Lead Vocalist was musically inspired by Japanese J-Pop Singer Namie Amourdo (definitely spelled wrong)

[@sceif]

The band that made me love music again. Seen them twice live here in the states and they were the best events I've ever been to, and can't wait to see them again.

[@faafio]

Welcome to Band-Maid! They are so talented that everything they do sounds great. While they are a Hard Rock band, at any time (of their choosing) they will stray into Punk, or Metal, Funk, Pop, Ballads, Acoustic and more. They have amazing vocals but also have some equally amazing INSTRUMENTAL songs. Band Maid are: Saiki - Lead Vocals Miku - Rhythm Guitar, Second lead vocalist, Primary Lyric Writer, and Band-Maid's founding member. Kanami - Lead Guitarist & Primary Music Composer. MISA - Bass Akane - Drums They also have different nicknames based on their unique personalities, that others can share with you. FYI: You need not worry about getting blocked by Band-Maid; They LOVE their fans and are APPRECIATIVE of reaction channels. While I can't guarantee you won't, I can say from watching hundreds of reactions to their many songs, I can't remember EVER seeing a reactor say they had any problems.

[@Parker--]

It was hard for me to believe once I found out about the maid outfits myself, because how is the best band I heard in such a long time be a bunch of tiny Japanese women with insane talent and yet a sense of humor? Their influences are very widespread, ranging from a couple Japanese pop singers to Deep Purple to Santana to Maxim the Hormone, a japanese nu-metal/punk/ska/rap/etc. band. Also, you need not worry about copyright strikes. They never take down reaction videos. I suggest Hate live or Domination live (not mv) to get the full experience.

[@metalishimo6645]

I recommend this song → BAND-MAID / from now on (Official Music Video)

[@ksbrst2010]

They are their own Band. First Kanami (Guitar 1) writes the the song Miku (Guitar 2, Vocal 2) makes the lyrics abd the Misa (Bass) determines which indtruments needs her help and after that Akane reconfigures her support (Drums). They are simply overqualified, in princible each could write songs butvthey prefer this shared approach.

[@roqy]

Their music is magic. Immediately familiar and comfortable, ultimately entirely their own. They have picked up all the loose ends of rock and woven them into something unique.

[@chrisegbertky]

Great comment!

[@LostAgain1970]

This band gave me hope back for music. I can say that I've been listening to them daily for the last few years and I simply can't get tired of their songs. Everyone sounds different. BM are simply amazing!

[@howardbrown911]

Amen brother!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Welcome to the fandom! ♥ these girls! This song has a classic rock vibe with a killer groove! 😎 I suggest these BM songs: Thrill, Dice,, Bubble, Blooming, No God (live) & Puzzle (live) I'd also suggest The Warning - another all female rock band from Mexico I suggest these TW songs: Money, Sick, Automatic Sun, Enter Sandman (official video with Alessia Cara), Evolve (live VMAs) & Dust To Dust (live Teatro)

[@Maidiac88]

Thanks for reacting to the greatest hard rock band in the world. They blend a lot of genres and do different types of songs but they're all incredible. You need to check out their live performances to truly appreciate the immense talent of our Maids.

Actually, according to Kanami, Band-Maid has plenty of bad songs. You'll find them in Saiki's wastebasket.

[@curtisrrobles7885]

Lol, "this folder is empty." 💯% true 🤙🏽

[@dreadogastusf3548]

The word is that this tune, Manners, is about the bands progress. In the early three years they were the creatures of the agency. Told what to wear. Playing the music they were handed. They accepted it because they knew it was the only way forward. Still, they weren't getting a big response, and the agency was seriously planning to pull the plug. Then, a vlogger that promoted J-rock, posted the MV for the tune Thrill. It caught fire all over the world. The agency was flooded with emails in many languages. The company though they had been hacked. When the dust settled, Band-Maid had a new lease on life. They still had to be well mannered Japanese women. But, as the song said, "Their rock never dies". And our queens kept working. Doing gigs at big anime convention, Going on the road in Europe and North America (Saludo a México.). And all the while their fame and music kept growing. They changed agencies twice. Presumably to gain more artistic freedom and money. Now they can play anywhere in the world and sellout in days. They dress as they please and make the music they want.

[@chtronk]

Until I discovered this band (last year), I listened to 90% metal and 10% hard rock. Now I listen to 95% band-maid. And I f***ing enjoy it.

[@daft73games]

Welcome to *BAND MAID!* I came across them in 2017.. best day ever! They have some ballads, some fast songs, *some really fast songs* , elements of jazz, pop and so on. They are their own genre really! Enjoy the ride😀😀

[@mkoose]

Hey Philthy Truth, yes they are the real deal, and welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Hope to see more Band-Maid here in the near future ;-) Cheers to Roger ;-)

[@RogerChance5309]

🍺😎

[@daaaaaave]

Definitely worth another listen straight through. Their songs are short, but they’re very dense. As a rule, their second verse is always different from their first, and they’ll do a lot of riffs that they’ll play once for a transition and you’ll never hear again, and stuff like that. As an illustrative exercise, just focus on the drummer, and notice how frequently she’s changing up her patterns. Then do the same for the bass, etc. In this song in particular, they play a really interesting solo section, where if you pay close attention, the bassist is basically also playing a solo. It’s really a duet. Also, this band is very permissive about reactors using their official videos from their KZbin channel, so don’t feel compelled to pause a ton, or do weird overlays or anything.

[@mightydegu]

To borrow a line from a (mostly) 90s television show, They're real and they're spectacular. I first encountered them here on KZbin nine years ago with their first music video, "Thrill." It was the best new music I'd heard in decades. They've only gotten better with each passing year. I'd given up on new music many years ago, having grown up on 80s rock/metal and gradually moved to 70s and then 60s rock (the Beatles having been my all-time favorite). In the years since discovering Band-Maid, they have become my all-time favorite band. Their entire discography is diverse and amazing (IMO they have no bad songs) and they're even better live. I've seen them in concert several times and they never disappoint. TL;DR: Best band on Earth and possibly the entire universe. You're in for quite a ride.

[@herbpoints]

You have opened a door to a new world. Leave behind doubts and fears and step inside. There, you will find amazing music and kind friends. It’s the world of five beautiful, delightful, and incredibly skilled musicians dressed as maids. 🥰🤘

[@RA57727]

Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid’s Manners. Enjoy the journey because the music and these musicians are unbelievable.

Congrats!!! you got No.1 Rock Band!! Enjoy!!

[@elliott8339]

A huge shoutout to Roger! Thanks for checking out Band-Maid. They are arguably the best live band on the planet. You need to check out their official live videos to fully appreciate just how good they are. Their stage presence is intoxicatingly energetic, mesmerizing and joyful. And their live sound is even better than their studio recordings. Band-Maid fully support reactors and won’t ban them from using their official videos.

[@RogerChance5309]

Thanks! 🍺😁

"Is this coming from them - I'm speechless right now" 😁 You're not the first to utter those or similar words on seeing these Rock (definitely female) Goddesses for the first time and my friend you ain't seen nothin yet, enjoy your BAND-MAID journey you wont regret it, cheers from Oz 👍🍻🍻

[@carldevries178]

I certainly was delighted to discover this band thru KZbin several years ago. They are their own genre and their songs cover a lot of different sounds. Best rock band on the planet right now imho. They simply do not disappoint. Even better live.

[@johnkrytonn3210]

Live Maid is the Best Maid... the Music Videos are good ... Band Maid Live is awesome... they elevate their music in the live shows in a way unmatched by any current group ... Try any of the official Live Videos ... Hate , Puzzle, No God , Freedom, Domination....pick one and fasten your seat belt ...and they dont block most reactions... one stop is usually enough .,....

[@megalondonkleuter]

You do not have to be scared if your video gets blocked. Band-Maid encourage people to watch and share their music, and if it reach through reactors than they are happy too

[@falconsooner]

Welcome. As a 57 year old who grew up on classic rock, I can appreciate where you are coming from. Other songs in this vein are Bubble, Glory, Dragon Cries, Dice (a little faster but definitely a classic rock vibe). Choose Me, Don't You Tell Meand Alone are rock songs with a bit more "pop sensibilities". Slower songs they have are Daydreaming, Endless Story, Wonderland About Us and Memorable. A lot of their songs are a bit more intense (faster, heavier) but still have good choruses. If you want to see their playing ability then check out the From Now On MV.

[@leeredose9192]

This band single handedly rejuvenated my love for music again !!!! They are the best current rock band on the planet !!!! A word of warning....don't ever pause during Kanami's solo's .....there is even a shirt out that says "Shut Up Kanami's Speaking " The Maidiacs will come after you !!!! 130 plus songs over 10 years and not bad one in there !!!!!!!

Go Roger, You are still the man!!!!! Just to let you know my friend, Roger has just turned you on to the best hard rock band out there right now. The five young insanely talented Japanese women WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!!! The band has been together for over ten years and are the most together, talented, and professional band out there. I'm 75 years old and have seen (and heard) a lot of rock in my life. If seen in live concerts some of the most iconic bands ever. i.e. Cream (in their very early years), The Doors, The Byrds, Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers Band, etc. and the not so well known. I honestly felt the kind of rock and roll I loved was dead until I discovered Band-Maid on KZbin. I have been to two of their live concerts and came away feeling that every penny I spent and the hours I spent waiting in line was completely worth it. Please keep reacting to Band-Maid. It will be a journey well worth it. The band has recorded over 130 songs in their ten years together and every one of the songs are good, some are great, and some are absolutely fantastic. The next three songs I suggest you listen to are "Hate?", "Don't You Tell ME", the official live videos from their 10th Anniversary Tour finale last November, and "Bestie", the official music video, a mid-tempo song written and recorded in collaboration with Mike Einziger of the rock band Incubus. The one thing I can say about the video is that's it's beautiful in so many ways.

[@keithmeyer9558]

They have many influences but their own sound.

[@paulthornley4149]

You aint seen nothing yet...enjoy your journey...it's an amazing ride!!!

[@AntonioMellor]

I have listened to “Manners” over 400 times. It is from their album “Unseen World,” which I listened to every day for over a year after its release. I have never gotten tired of the song or that album. About 4 1/2 years ago, KZbin continued to suggest the song "Thrill" by BAND-MAID. At first, my thoughts were, "Maids? Are you serious? Go home, KZbin, you're drunk." But KZbin kept insisting, so I decided to check the video out. It was one of the best decisions of my life. "Thrill" completely surprised me! It had a fantastic riff, bass line, drumming, and vocals! I checked out a couple of their other songs but was on a different musical journey then, so I moved on. Several months later, KZbin suggested the newly dropped video "Onset." I remembered that I liked their music and decided to watch it. HOLY GUACAMOLE! I hadn't heard an instrumental song like that in years. I was so impressed I told everyone I knew about them. Down the pigeonhole, I went. Enjoy your BAND-MAID journey!

[@kla4600]

Welcome to BAND-MAID! And Japan. Where there are just a lot of ultra high talent all female rock and metal bands. With quite a diversity of sounds.

So, one more is falling down the pigeonhole! Welcome! We are getting more and more down here, and no one wants to ever get out. We are just waiting for the world to be dominated by five maids.

[@GlennWH26]

Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band. Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. Poker shark and horse racing fanatic. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed. Definitely eccentric, possibly insane. Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors. A sweet, motherly woman who turns into a beast when you hand her a guitar. Akane Hirose - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Completely unflappable. Frequently snacks between songs. Has been known to sign her banana peels and throw them to the audience. MISA - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin, MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls. Saiki Atsumi - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen, Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. Regards her band mates, especially Kanami and Miku, with bemused exasperation. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).

[@swissystan]

You are in for quite a ride. BM are the business….you will get lots of recommendations but you can’t really miss. They play genre-bending rock and have a chunky catalogue. Maybe try Hate? Official live then From Now On (MV), then maybe Domination (official live) but as I said, can’t go wrong ;)

[@Space_Ranger]

You have found a fantastic band my friend! This band had more songs that I love that the previous put together! AC/DC, U2, INXS, The Beatles! Seriously, they are far from a one hit wonder. I'm over 50 and have heard a lot of rock, but they are truly something special.

[@jeffersoncosgrove1910]

Feel free to check them out more. The official LIVE version of Domination is a great place to turn next.

[@mikeat2637]

You are going to go deep into the pigeon coop with this band. They are the best rock band on the planet right now and are only progressing further and getting better. All of the fine commenters below have given you the lowdown. For my part, you should react to the 2021 Okyu-Ji (livestream short gig) that features this song Manners and another banger of a composition, Black Hole, which is diametrically opposed in style to Manners. You should also check out two their instrumentals, the live official video of "Onset" and the music video of "From Now On". Both songs give a true indication of their stellar musicianship. You will not be disappointed by ANYTHING of Band Maid that you react to. That is a simple fact. I loved your initial reaction, which all of us Maidiacs do when someone reacts to them for the first time. Enjoy the ride my friend.

[@grahamreed8774]

You saw it right. Band-Maid are the best rock band around- male or female and have been for the last ten years. They play everything from this bluesy rock to hard rock/metal. They are- Miku- (red rose) Founder 2013, Lyrics, Baking vocals, Rhythm guitar. Kanami- Music, Lead guitar. Saiki (Blue Rose)- Lead vocals. Misa- Bass and Akane- Drums. Anything from their Official Channel should not get blocked but they are more famously known for their Official Live Videos- Domination, Don't You Tell Me, Real Existence or Official Music Videos- Blooming, Choose Me and the slower Wonderland or Daydreaming. Except for a few, the quality of new classic rock bands and particularly female guitarists, being promoted these days, particularly in the US is shocking. Thanks for reacting- more please.

[@hammerhiem75]

This is Band Maid's Prog Rock influenced song. but being Band Maid they took a 14 minute prog rock song and did it in 4 minutes. They can do just about any style of rock from soft rock ballads (Daydreaming) Classic Rock (Dice) Hard Rock (Blooming) Punk (Afterlife) Anthemic Rock (Choose me) Power Metal (Black Hole), Anime (Unleash!!!) and Instrumentals (From now on) they even do song's with traditional instuments (Gion-Cho) and acoustic sets (Sayonakidori), in consert they often have Guitar/Bass battles mid consert (Hate??) or drum Solo's (Freedom) they have 150+ songs and a good 100 of them are as good as anything coming out of the west, they are teaming up with the best band from North America next month (The Warning) And if you can cope with the language barrier, Japan has a massive rock scene and while Band maid are the best imo here are a ten others who are top tier Love Bites, Ninjen isu, Trident, East of Eden, Aldious, Pokadot Stingray, Nemophila, Scandal, Yousei Teikoku, One OK rock.

[@dreadogastusf3548]

Ninjen Isu!! Represent!

[@tonygriffin_]

THE best Hard Rock band on Earth. But....they are even better live. Much better. There is a live version of MANNERS on their YT channel (they never block anything taken from their channel which comes as a double bill with their fastest song BLACK HOLE (220 bpm finale). 4:49 - funny you mention Led Zeppelin (who I saw live in 79) as Jimmy Page saw Band-maid perform live back in 2016...and went backstage to ask Akane the drummer for a selfie he was so impressed with the band. 🤘🤘Gotta recommend that you react to HATE? live as it'll show you what they are capable of doing live (apart from blowing your socks off and causing your jaw to fall off that is) and it's recent, from a November gig. Subscribed because I know what those looks of astonishment, love and admiration mean when someone sees Band-Maid for the first time - it means "I want to see more Band-Maid!".

[@JayDeeMC]

There's also an official live version of this song. It's even better than this. Their lives are incredible. If you have a choice between a music video and a live, take the live. The music videos sound "perfect", but their lives sound PERFECT. It just sounds better live, and a lot of things are easier to hear. The instruments are more distinct in the live, and you can hear the rhythm guitarist sing more clearly, as well. They are all incredibly talented. Every song of theirs is very good to excellent. Not a single bad one. As for their influence, they have a large variety of styles. But I'd say that there's a lot of 80s and 90s influence in their style, but with their own unique approach. They write all of their music (except their earliest). The maid theme was used because the founder (rhythm guitarist) worked in a maid cafe and wanted to show how the image of a maid can contrast with hard rock. Basically, when you see them, then hear them, you are shocked. They are very humble, love their fans, and love for people to react to them on KZbin. They may even watch this video :) So don't worry about it being blocked. They don't do that. It's because of reactors that they're becoming more well-known outside of Japan.

[@stealthcabbie1336]

A few things...... 1. Great reaction. 2. Band-Maid love reacters, hence they never block. 3. This is a tip of a HUGE iceberg...... I lost count after 120 songs. 4. What next?? Domination, Hate, Puzzle - all 3 LIVE MV´s. OR Blooming, Choose Me, Daydreaming - all 3 regular MV´s. And a bucket load more. 5. We Band-Maid fans are known as "Maidiacs" ....... and finally..... 6. "Shut Up when Kanami is speaking." (Ryan Mear). Kanami is the lead guitarist and main songwriter.... you interupted her solo..... but we'll let it slide this one time.... (lol) And Ryan Mear did a REALLY cool fan T-shirt with the Shut up when Kanami is speaking... so.... And finally finally 7. Saiki - vocals, Miku - vocals and rhythm guitar, Kanami - Lead guitar, MISA - Bass and Akane - Drums. The 5 pillars of AWESOME.

Been together for nearly eleven years. They write the music and lyrics and are brilliant live. Based on Maid Cafe's in Japan. It was Miku's (Red Rose) idea to form a rock band that had the look of cute Maids and then played rock music. They called it 'The Gap' between what they wear, their battle gear, and what they sound like. As usual you will hear fans make statements that seem widely exaggerated. I promise they are not. The band is simply superb and can play everything. They will melt the heart with songs or melt the brain with others. They are simply a great band that had they been formed in the West would have become legendary by now.

I would have suggested the live version of manners/black hole since the maids are best live. They are a total experience. Their music videos are great but can't go wrong with live. Try "hate" live at yokohama arena.

[@geoffb5]

You have entered the Band-Maid zone. Everything will be fine. I fell in 2 1/2 years ago and it is the most wonderful music experience of my long life. Enjoy. There are a series of short, 30 min., documentaries on the band at Ohrenje's YT channel.

[@hyojiway]

You must check instrumental track from band maid "From Now On"MV. It's masterpiece🎉🎉🎉

[@user-cv8xy8jy5l]

Thank you for your response to BAND-MAID's song, it was a lot of fun. MAIDIACS is a group of people who will be very kind and friendly to people who meet BAND-MAID for the first time, asking them, "Are you surprised?"

[@tinyhato]

Welcome! It's so cool that you've already identified that they have their own style. I checked your channel and saw a lot of classic rock. Other songs with more of a classic rock feel like "Manners" include "Turn Me On", "Thrill", and "Take Me Higher". I grew up with grunge and alternative rock in one ear and all the classic rock bands in the other. But it turns out Band-Maid is the band I've been waiting for my whole life.

[@paulpetersen879]

Band Maid doesn't play a genre, Band Maid IS a genre. Pop, punk, prog, thrash rock, metal. They blend it all into the Band Maid sound. Band Maid doing Band Maid things...

[@ChimPANTSz]

Welcome to one of your new favorite bands. Can never go wrong with a little maid in your life!

[@ral8452]

all other bands seem -inadequate- after finding Band-maid

[@JohnGioffredi-gi7zd]

“Wait! What? Is that coming from THEM? What the hell??” LOL. Well said my friend! I think we’ve all had similar experiences after listening to the maids for the first time. An incredibly hard rocking band - wearing maid outfits. MIKU calls it the gap - your eyes tell you one thing but your ears tell you something completely different! But don’t worry! The disorientation is very temporary. After 3 or 4 BAND-MAID songs you won’t even notice the outfits - you’ll just hear the music. And the music is DAMN GOOD! You haven’t even scratched the surface of the talent in this group. Here are some songs to start with: (I’ll try to break you in easy. Too much BAND-MAID all at once can make you dizzy!) THRILL (their first music video from 2013) CHOOSE ME REAL EXISTENCE Secret Maiko Lips (music video) DICE Domination (live) HATE? (Live at Yokohama) ONSET (live) From Now On (music video - strap in for this one!) More BAND-MAID please! Cheers!

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and you have no idea how deep this band is, song after song after song without a dud, When I discovered this band about 6 years ago, I was stunned, these tiny girls are making better hard rock than anything else out there? Happy listening, you ears will thank you. New sub.

[@outwest1014]

They are VERY REAL and better live. If going into the Japanese Rock/Metal world Remember - No matter how good you think you can play a musical instrument, there Is a Japanese Lady that plays it better. They are the best Rock Band in the world. They write and produce their songs: This is what Rolling Stone said about them at Lallapalooza 2023: Japanese Rockers Band-Maid Put Guitar Center Showoffs to Shame There’s a pun to be made about how much Band-Maid ripped, but the Japanese group goes even harder than that. Fluctuating between hard rock, aughts nu-metal, and pop rock, each member of the quintet is a virtuoso in her own right with more than a decade of practice in Band-Maid alone. They lured curious onlookers into the fold when highlights like “Domination” and “Don’t You Tell Me” got huge reactions from the crowd, but it was the bass solo-versus-guitar solo duels mid-song that got the biggest cheers. This is what those guys in Guitar Center think their ridiculous riffing sounds like. Turns out it’s done best, and most effortlessly, by women in black-and-white maid dresses and frilly hair-pieces as they smile ear to ear. -N.C. NEXT - "Hate?" live.

A shout out to Roger ofr coraling one more Band Maid afficianado!

[@ronaldbowers2240]

Funny you mentioned Led Zeppelin, there is a photo of the drummer Akane with Jimmy Page from 2016 when he asked to meet her.

[@markhayes9004]

Thank you for reacting to Band Maid, I hope you are having a great day! Believe it or not, this is one of the slower songs in their catalog of around 130 songs, and they have been around for almost 11 years at this point. They tend to experiment with a lot of different genres, often times within the same song. They are mostly rock, or hard rock, but they do incorporate some metal, punk, jazz and blues elements among other genres into their music. Where they really shine is in their live performances, and they do have several official live videos on their channel.

[@kenjisuzuki7341]

You just can't go wrong with Band-Maid. They are the best band in the world...for me, anyway.

[@christiankonecny2596]

Kanami likes Carlos Santana. She is the main songwriter. Enjoy this rabbit hole.

[@danuwaanalihi1839]

STAND BY:Band Maid fans incoming!!! ❤

[@hammerhiem75]

Unleashed!!!!!

[@BRO-HI808]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Band-Maid is the genre. They have many influences, but they mix and match at will, creating their own sound. Only 120+ great songs to go! A little softer side...try "Daydreaming" OMV is AMAZING! Buckle up and enjoy the ride! PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

[@ShikataGaNai100]

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...yeah." - Miku Kobato.

[@ranger_a6953]

"I think I just found a new band to listen to" Your entire audience just pointed a finger at you and knowingly nodded.

[@skrrytch]

Wait until you have seen them live .. any official live KZbin video will also do 😅 By the way: Reactions to Band Maid videos never get blocked, especially the official videos. Don't worry! about that. To loosely quote another Maidiac 😅 🎸 Bass solos by Misa are more likely to happen than not. 🥃 🎸 Guitar solos by Kanami are short and crisp 🥁 Akane on drums is 'a beast' 🦍🍌 🕊 Don't underestimate Miku Kobato: She is the founder of the band, bundle of energy, Maid Cafe magician 🪄, is invaluable as a second vocalist and also has a small solo project of her own (Cluppo) 🎙And there is Saiki: She was the Ice Queen but the Ice Queen has thoroughly thawed 🤣 🎶 More hooks, riffs and motifs in a song than most bands have on a full album. 💃Their LIVE videos are mostly superior to the official studio MVs, but the MVs are also excellent! 🎵 Many songs have catchy phrases or singalong sections to engage the audience. Many songs are in English and Japanese. Most songs are full of joy as well. 🥳 They enjoy performing. They enjoy the fans. They enjoy each other. I don't know of any other band where the fans' playlists differ so much. So, this is just a quite random selection of songs: For some very special live videos try Freedom, Play, Real existence and Endless Story. With Moratorium (Live at Zepp), Rinne (MV) and Dice you can hear more hard rock while more catchy songs are Choose me (MV), Bestie (MV) and Alone (MV). And if you want to hear some ballads then maybe About Us (MV) and Daydreaming (MV) are good picks. But don't miss some of their instrumentals like From now on (MV) and Onset (Live). And finally a very special live performance is Manners/Blackhole (Official Online Live)🍌 And there is more: For example the songs with Miku in lead, their christmas acoustic concert and the 'cover band' Band-Maiko ;-) But if you want to start at the beginning of their career (2013-2017) then go with Thrill (MV, their first video), Real Existence (second video), Alone (MV, first own composition), Freedom(best LIVE performance), Choose Me, Play (LIVE!), ... 👉 I have a next song for you in my mind ... Why not jump to an early song (from 2014/2015) from them with a great live performance from 2018: "Real Existence" (official live) would be a good suggestion. And as always many other songs come into mind: "From now on" (MV) for example. But as many Maidiacs would say: Pick any song from their huge portfolio: No song will disappoint! 😍 Some other band recommendations? Then try "The Sixsters" from Ukraine (Pick any song) Have fun... Po

[@aldomattera2043]

You have to listen to the live version, and in general all the live performances of these ladies. You will be surprised!
