Band Maid: No Banana, Gorilla 🦍!

No more flinging bananas 🍌

[@russellpotter7294]

A Rock Band that sits down for a chat and a break with the audience is charming and works so well. It shouldn't but they make it work in such a unique way.

[@bombalisa2724]

Super nice! And this is common in japanese artist shows if I am not mistaken

[@eber792]

@@bombalisa2724 That's how it is. MC is part of the musical groups in Japan. And that's what makes it so great, it's not just about music but about entertainment. It is a way to thank his fans for their support.

I am so glad that BAND-MAID is loved overseas.

powerful music, talented musicians, beautiful women, kind people, I love them all very much. I saw them live in 2019 in NYC, 2022 in NJ and I am driving 10 hours each way from NJ to NC to see them on Monday!! I cannot wait to see them again. I love these people so much.

Nice to see the other ladies stepping it up a little bit. With the interactions with the fans on stage. Miku has put in so many tireless hours doing So over the years. She finally gets the rest a little bit and doesn't have to do as much. She's earned that right, every bit of it !

I met that guy in the baseball jersey (with the long ponytail) and guy to his right in Austin. Same spot front and center. I think they said they are following band maid for their entire tour. They are suuuper involved with the community. I'm kicking myself that I didn't get their names! They were awesome.

[@ryanroman6831]

Their best unreleased song (pure vocals)!

[@BlazinNSoul]

OK, this was so unexpected lol. So many bands are distant & unapproachable. Seeing this really sets them apart & is a great ice brecker!! Not to mention gives us a show within a show exclussive. Heard their Rockville show was bordering on brilliant. Ladies deserve every bit of their current sucess. Looking foward to seeing them at Lollapalooza this summer!! Rock on Ladies!! 🤘🎸🔥

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

World Domination is coming that is for sure. The more people they can reach the more fans they will get. I'm so happy they are doing great in the USA, it's their stepping stone to the rest of the world. I believe they are on the brink of hitting big in Japan as well. I was at Tokyo Garden Theater a 8000 seats venue, it was filled to the roof, their show was the best concert I've ever attended. I have a ticket for both Zepp Shinjuky a 1500 capacity venue, and Yokohama Arena a 17000 capacity venue. I was lucky enough to get a VIP ticket at Yokohama Arena.

[@BlazinNSoul]

@Jan-Ove Pedersen That is good to hear & of coarse it's kinda strange hearing they aren't as known in Japan just yet lol. Then again, the same applied to Babymetal at first if I recall correctly. Until they blew up elsewhere & now no issues there either. Babymetal shows sell out in Japan as fast as they go up!! So it's been a long time coming for the ladies on both ends, but well deserved!! Band-Maid persistence is starting to pay off here. I personally can't wait for Lollapalooza as that could be the catalyst moving forward!! No doubt, given the 400,000 expected at this years events🤘🦊💕

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

@@BlazinNSoul Thank you for your heads up, they so deserve the recognition. Babymetal paved the way for many Japanese bands. Band-Maid said so in an interview on Japanese media I saw on YT a while back. Have a great time at Lollapalooza 🙂 greetings from Norway.

[@armynurseboy]

@@BlazinNSoul Rock and metal is nowhere near as popular in Japan than idol and J-pop music. It's still very much an "underground" thing, even though they have some of the best acts in the world. It doesn't surprise me one bit that most Japanese have never heard of them. Which is why getting anime soundtrack spots is so important for the domestic audience. it introduces them to the masses.

[@michaelpeck6746]

I have to agree 100 percent this sets them apart from any band out there this is just one of the reasons I love them and why they have a strong fan base and your right they make the fans a part of there show AL well which makes it so much better just because they interact with there fans this is the way it should be love Band Maid
