This is one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard. That is not to say that the ones that BAND-MAID made after this were not good, when this song came out and when I "found" it there was nothing like it that I had heard before. It is the perfect non-lyrical way to introduce a band to someone who hesitates to jump in the waters of Japanese rock and metal. They fire on all cylinders and each member gets a chance to shine. Absolutely LOVE this song.

I am an old geezer that has over the years pretty much heard them all but for the past 25 years listened mainly to opera and classical. I discovered Band maid by accident and I am mesmerised. The outfits are clever and cute but the real strength of this group lies in the vast talent each member brings to the party. Even Miku who is much cleverer than the pigeon image she projects has developed into a first class support singer and guitarist. Each individual is as the top of their game with huge talent. I just wonder how such seemingly 'ordinary' young women have such talent for heavy rock. Black Sabbath I could understand but Band Maid?

Probably the part all throughout your comment where you implied that you put people into categories and judge. Are you surprised or amazed? One is a shock to a value you thought different, the other is a realization of openness.

[@neovxr]

@@finchwaddledog5026 seen from my position, I am old as well, there is an interesting discussion, that's not really happening. What is often forgotten, is a certain frustration in the boomer generation and the next one, about weak participation of women. Many of us would so have loved when women did what then was supposed to be a "boy thing", like hard rock music, or punk (a couple yrs later, less than one female rock musician among a hundred males), or certain sports, and rocking the public political scene with talking truth. But in most countries, they didn't, it was not cool, and if there was any desire, it was kept secret. There was only a handful of women, like two in politics, two in a punk band, one in fashion (think Vivienne Westwood) who had any progressive relevance (in the meaning back then). So for me this means "why not already when we were young?" I would have preferred a rock'n'roll woman to a princess any time. (For marriage she would have to be "straight" but that's another topic. Not every female rock star is like Joan Jett. In Japan it seems very mixed and probably has become a non-issue, except perhaps in conservative feuilleton.) It was the privileged guys who took part in preventing this, not the "deplorables".

かっこいいんですよねぇ、onset ! 楽器隊の凄みが伝わります！

[@Nowhere921]

This is the most talented band I’ve seen in almost 30 years I love iron maiden Priest Black Sabbath but damn just band brought back my love for heavy-metal and you would never know it by looking at them in their maid outfits my jaw dropped when I saw them play onset in this video . I feel left out because I just found them 2 weeks ago. Why these girls stay hidden in Japan all this time is beyond me. I’m spreading the word ( 51yr old headbanger from the 80s)

From one old rocker to another I agree with what you said & I've got you beat by 16 years. If you want to be blown away by a full concert, grab BAND-MAID WORLD DOMINATION TOUR [SHINKA] at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (Shibuya Public Hall) - Blu-ray or DVD.

Born Again Metal Fan , I feel exactly the same way.

58 y old and my ears fall in love again ... these japanese women blow my brains ... shake me, ladies

[@mdstreeter1460]

Dude, check out NINGEN ISU. If you love Sabbath, you'll love Ningen Isu. I think I actually prefer them to BAND-MAID, and I really like BAND-MAID.

If I'd never heard of BandMaid and I went to their show blind and they opened with this it would absolutely have blown my socks off. I would've lost it! So good!!!

[@mauricedorreboom5388]

No matter what mood I am in ... this one always makes me smile from ear to ear. Never fails!!!

[@gabrieljimenez9762]

Can't get enough of this song. Have come here to watch/hear this masterpiece tens of times a week for months. Fantastic.

[@cfofra]

It is on my long distance run list. I get a burst of energy when ever it plays.

[@pixelettee]

Same. I listen to this to calm my nerves.

[@guyfrattallone6029]

How lucky are we that they somehow came together and formed this wonderful amazing band! They are awesome!

[@lolfaiez2831]

je fais la même moi aussi.

[@triquivijate]

The more you watch this song, the more you feel the sadness and the love. Amazing to pull that off in 4 minutes! I'm still choked up, and this must be the 20th time I've seen this performance.

[@MickLoud999]

Not taking credit for this. I read it on another clip. This..."Band Maid is one of a few bands that can melt your heart and your face at the same time" damn
