BAND-MAID "Protect You" | Reaction

[@kennogawa6638]

This song has over a million views and is used in an anime Grendizer U.

[@BillHallisey]

Yes, Band-Maid will "Protect You" Rock and Roll!

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

This song will be on their new album due out September 25th! We have waited since early 2021 when Unseen World was released, for another full length album. Maidiacs in the US have been treated to 2 tours during that time ... while I cry for our friends in the EU and elsewhere that have patiently waited for their serving. Meanwhile we get a new album to keep us entertained :) .

@@PANIC_aka_PinD Does not in EU but still in Europe count?🤔

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

@@sugaanessena3143 Yeah ... everyone who has been patient for our MAIDs while the world finished recovering ...

[@philcalvino884]

Kanami's solos always fit the song perfectly! No mindless meandering, just business.

[@msquare249]

Two band-maid reactions in one day, truly a great start to the holiday weekend. 😊

💜💛❤💙💚 Best elevatorsong ever.

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and even thought they're not for Sweden, they still can rock your socks off. Remember that a Band-Maid song a day keeps the grim reaper away (their talent scares him). Also, then Miku started the band back in 2013, she couldn't play guitar either but her maid outfit drove her to learn it.

Bringing the thunder!!

My favourite parts: 3:26 - 3:34, 3:38 - 3:49. It's weird that it's neither Misa's bass nor Kanami's solo that caught my attention but the Koto backing track used to layer the first bar of second verse, and the crazy riffing by Kanami accompanying Saiki's ascending vocal run, and the elevator is going up to match the sound on top of it. But more than anything, I love the way the instrumental arrangement is well-balanced and the layering is so tasteful and not interfering the vocal melody.

[@zoob6510]

The guitar solo in this song is really good. The solo sounds great. Another one of my favorites is the guitar solo in Alone.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I really love this song, it’s got the right amount of catchy chaos, plus Saiki sass, and Kanami Mincho mode for me that just hit the spot. As far as other bands, have you heard Electric Callboy? I stumbled across them last week and have been obsessed. “We Got The Moves” is an excellent starting point if you haven’t. 10 seconds in you will be very confused, 30 seconds in you will be sold and having a blast. Trust me. In the Japanese music front, I discovered a brand new band called Nek! (Pronounced Neck-ee). They did some band maid covers and seem like a lot of fun. Try their song Maze

[@topographic1973ify]

Try Ghost Love Score from Nightwish at Waken 2013. You'll never be bored with Band Maid, they always have a twist in there that will catch your attention. My favorite Kanami guitar solo is the one she plays on DAYDREAMING, the clouds part and the angels sing.

[@rockyetsx70]

Check out their new live video for Magie, brand new song and a kick butt performance.

[@knightofthefivemaids]

Funny thing about the 20 sec .Band Maid has a standing policy about that .Kanami said if they don't catch the attention and keep it with in the first 10 sec they've lost their listener

[@markhayes9004]

Hello Miss Beautiful, I mean Brewtiful. It's great to see you reacting to Band Maid again so soon. I hope you are having a wonderful day. It would take you a while to go through all of Band Maid's discography with over 130 songs spread out over 11 years, and they just keep adding to that list with a new album that will be released September 25th called, "Epic Narratives." As far as suggestions from Japan, there are a lot of great rock and metal bands in Japan. I know you have already reacted to Nemophila and Hanabie, and yes you did pronounce their name correctly. Trident has a song I think you would love called, "Spoopy." I would also suggest anything from NEK!, PaleNeo, Hades, Dolls Box, Gacharic Spin, and a lot of others that I know I am forgetting to mention. Sixiwanzi is an all-female group from China that you might like. The Korean music scene is inundated with pop "stuff" (I'm trying not to cuss) but there are a few really good rock bands from Korea like Rolling Quartz, The Fix, and DIH, and I know I'm forgetting several others. Ohrenje recently posted a video on his KZbin channel called "11 years of Band Maid" that shows some of their songs from the beginning to present day that you might find interesting. If nothing else, it might give you some ideas about songs that you haven't heard yet. Please take very good care of yourself and have an incredible week.

[@wanderleyjesus6772]

East of Eden from Japan is also a very good band. And Gacharic Spin is also Japanese and they have a hint of experimental in their composition.

素敵なリアクションありがとう。次はこれはどうですか。私のお気に入りなのですが、もっと大勢の人に聞いてみてほしいのです。 BAND-MAID / Don't you tell ME (Official Live Video) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDNZKSOd82chpY

[@Pigeonholed-Po]

When comes to Band-Maid, I love that is an overused term, but soooooo true!

[@davidbourhenne8540]

Lacuna Coil (Italy), Butcher Babies (USA), Ghost (Sweden), The 69 eyes (Finland), and HIM (Finland) are just a few of the metal bands I listen to currently. LC has two singers, male and female, while BB are two female singers. I recommend Headspin or I Smell a Massacre from BB, Heaven's a Lie or End of Time from LC, Cirice or Danse Macabre from Ghost, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams or Dead N' Gone from 69 Eyes, and finally, Killing Loneliness or Wings of a Butterfly from HIM. There's a lot more I'd love to list but I'll stop here and not overwhelm you. Love your reactions. 👍

[@hellobrewtiful]

Lacuna coil I’ve seen live!!! They are amazing!!

[@RoyYoung-pw9gt]

🤘

[@clintashcraft579]

Check out "FATE GEAR" (Headless Goddess) from Japan also check out brand new band "NEK!" (pronounced: NEKEE), the bassist is 17 and had made it quite far in the auditioning for LOVEBITES!!!!! Also check out "ROLLING QUARTZ" (Red Wine) from Korea!!!!! And get ready for "Girl Crush" not just one but all five of them!!!!! Thank you for what you do!!!!!

[@COTTERO]

"Ask and it will be given to you" These are three Japanese bands that play real metal. UNLUCKY MORPHEUS, "Dignity of Spirit": kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmi6aneZirCMlbcsi=YhR2iI_BeNCcpauH ONMYOUZA, "The Nine Tail Fox and The Killing Stone": kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXevpmNmhLKXb8Usi=c6mB08OiuTb4luqO GALNERYUS, "Across The Rainbow": kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPVqmSur62MiJIsi=WPpVBFD4SoRy6ke5 The following band is not strictly "metal"... but it is certainly one of the best rock bands from Japan, WAGAKKI BAND, "Bring Me To Life": kzbin.info/www/bejne/npyUeKePgJx1gK8si=OymWrvrDkB_2dZqS

[@BillHallisey]

By the way, "Ou lala" isn't French. It's Maid-Speak for "We're Gonna Kick Your Ass!"

[@brunobryant4846]

🤣👍🍻

[@rRobR]

Another anime track to add to their collection

[@RaveEpic]

I really like your reactions. Have you listened to Gojira before? Studio version of Flying Whales is a great starter track.

[@TlanImass]

Oh... I looked through your reactions (just a search). You haven't done Jinjer? They're from Ukraine and HANABIE. is their opening act for their North American tour this fall of 2024. :) If you haven't listened to Jinjer, then Pisces is the song to first check out.

[@MnPofBM]

I’m Band Maid FAN but Try ‘Souvenir’ by BUM OF CHICKEN 😅

[@keithmeyer9558]

Aldious from Japan is a good choice.

[@martinlangstrom8036]

I love Band Maid but this song seems like it is frenetic just for the sake of it. I hope Band Maid try to move away from doing so many anime theme songs. This seems to generic to me. The skills is there but this songs lacks in personality for me. But nice to see another person that have a different point of view. Great reaction😀👍
