It's beyond me how they are not more popular. How can anyone who loves rock music not like this?

Rumour has it that trees volunteered to be Christmas trees, just to avoid being turned into drumsticks and heavily punished by Akane 😎🤘

Onset was the 1st Band-Maid song I ever heard. I consider Onset to be one of the finest rocking the Frick out songs that I've ever heard !!😏♥️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

Band Maid has released four dedicated instrumental tracks. They have also released instrumental versions of many of their biggest songs. (What other band can even do that??!) I love that their instrumental music is as interesting and unique as their songs with lyrics. Other than being the same musicians, “From Now On” and “Onset” couldn’t be more different. The “Instrumental Maid Channel” has become a favorite of mine for some different versions. There are several of the famous “White Room” versions of some great tracks. “Without Holding Back” is another dedicated instrumental. “Giovanni” is a progressive rock, jazz, metal jam also released as an instrumental. It’s for musicians and music theory students…it will not be an easy first listen! P.S. After hearing Band Maid sans vocals, you will gain an entirely new appreciation for their talent and songwriting

Most are spare drum sticks in case she breaks one during the show. Same reason why guitarists have multiple picks on their mic stands. If you watch the Dice/Hate vid from Lollapalooza, you may catch Akane breaking a stick and grabbing a new one.

Thanks for the reaction and comments. Akane destroys her kit. Would be surprised if she didn't shred at least a few sticks during a concert. She'll usually hand out the rest to the fans as souvenirs. Without Holding Back is another great instrumental to check out. Cheers!

There is a story that for the song "Play", it was originally intended to be an instrumental. But Saiki liked the music so much that she asked Miku to write lyrics for the song. So the first part of the song starts out sounding like it's going to be an instrumental, then Saiki starts singing, It's a great song.

In Lollapalooza's "Dais"and"Hate"video's she can be seen tossing her right doramstick forward and taking a new one from below.😊

Akane lost a drumstick during Dice/Hate? at Lalapalooza 2023 and snagged another one without missing a beat. She keeps her wrists pretty loose while drumming so I'm sure they go flying once in a while and there's also always a possibility of breaking one or more so having extras is just a good idea.

Band-Maid always brings an ONSET of love, appreciation and happiness to their viewers. Why? Because they're so damn good -- good-natured, good-hearted, good-looking, and beyond good as writers, players and performers. Wow, right?! Thx, Kazz!

1:19 If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? No, *Akane* is using it for her next set of drum sticks.

@Bodneyblue7 ай бұрын
There are reason for spare drumsticks....She may drop a stick....break a stick through snapping or splitting..breaking tips....Different sticks for different styles of play...Like brushes or hot rods and beaters etc, for a more mellow sound..Heavier (thicker) sticks for giving the drums a real pounding..and just general feel...A stick might not feel right in the hand for some reason and so.. change it...Akane has her own signature drumsticks made by Wincent, a Swedish brand. They have the BAND-MAID logo on the ends and Akane's cat signature with the name BAND-MAID on them.
@TomClark-Futoura7 ай бұрын
Akane might go through a couple of sticks per concert due to breakage, plus she'll probably throw out a few to the fans at the end. A few sticks might be weighted differently for heavier songs, too.
@Kevin60597 ай бұрын
There are different drumsticks for sure, although I don't know what she had here. The weight, length, type of wood and especially different tips - both material and shape of the tip.

Akane would toss her sticks out to the audience after the show, along with the others tossing out all their picks. Unfortunately, Saiki doesn't throw her mic.....

This is the original instrumental played during Band-Maid shows and while being musically excellent, it's are intended to give Saiki a vocal break, along with a Miku lead song and Omajinai Time(Magic Spell Time), give Saiki's voice time to rest.

I suggest listening to "Giovanni", first with the vocals and then afterwards, the instrumental version, would be perfect. I'm 100% sure that you're going to enjoy both!

Thank you for picking a Japanese music. The Japanese artist that is popular worldwide now is "Creepy Nuts" So I recommend ◉MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES Season 2 - Opening FULL "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" by Creepy Nuts (Lyrics) ◉ Creepy Nuts - Bling‐Bang‐Bang‐Born / THE FIRST TAKE Songs used in the world-famous anime "Attack on Titan"⬇️ ◉ SiM - The Rumbling (OFFICIAL VIDEO) ◉ SiM “The Rumbling” LIVE AT DEAD POP FESTiVAL 2023 - 解 - There are many other great artists in Japan. Japan's music industry has long been the second largest market after the United States .Japan has a wide variety of music, songs, and artists. and Japanese music is very diverse. Until recently, Japanese artists had a language barrier and the Japanese domestic market was too big(The Japan music market is the second biggest in the world,) so they were not actively selling overseas, that's why most of the artists are not known outside of Japan, But Many of the songs that were hits in Hong Kong and other Asian countries in the 1980s and 1990s were Japanese cover songs (many of them were popularized as songs from their own country). However, with the development of KZbin videos and subtitles, language barriers are disappearing. so there are still great finds. Another thing that may be helpful. In Japanese music, lyrics are an integral part of the song. They are quintessential. Recently, Japanese music videos seem to have English subtitles for the lyrics. of course Not all Japanese song lyrics are translated but you may them interesting. The live quality of Japanese music is high, but,If you want to find Japanese music other than MVs and LIVE videos, the Japanese music content ``THE FIRST TAKE'' is a convenient way to find a wide variety of Japanese artists, although only a few non-Japanese artists appear. please,discover more Japanese music. l recommend ◉ nobodyknows+ - ココロオドル / THE FIRST TAKE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpK5gaVsfbulmKssi=kX_MwpxRNjbjKYm8 ●Def Tech - My Way / THE FIRST TAKE kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4uqanppq5aFhs0si=1j5XzdVM7NRI8Wku ◉ ALI Wild Side , Better Days / ALI Wild Side , Better Days THE FIRST TAKE FES vol 1 1080p 30fps H264 128kbit AAC ◉“ One OK Rock ” very popular with foreigners.

❤ Concerning other recommendations: Have you listened to 'Gacharic Spin' with 'Mindset'. That one is a banger!
@zer0tzer07 ай бұрын
If you break or drop a stick you have to have another ready. And, even though it's the same maker and weight they don't always have the same feel or balance. So just because you have another one you might ditch it in between songs in favor of one that's got a better feel. And, if you're on the road, you may do this night after night. Add in wood tips, plastic tips, brushes etc... But I'm starting to think you like the sound of your own voice more than solos. But if you're likeing instrumental there's one you've missed called, 'Without Holding Back'.
