I see Miku has recently started playing guitar solos. I feel like a father proudly watching his daughter grow up lol.

[@VladimirChupin]

Same for Kanami 😍🕊🕊🕊

[@henry6782]

Why am I crying... Her dream of rocking has become reality. That little Head nod by Miku before stepping up for her solo, looking at Kanami. Kanami with the encouragement. Did anyone notice Kanami's face when she hit that high note. Man... ROCKSTARS🖤🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥🔥

[@VladimirChupin]

The crowd was expecting that high note as well. Everybody roared in appreciation.

There is nothing on Earth as beautiful as watching our dear little pigeon in her element!

[@Parker--]

Almost all of my favorite parts from Unseen World are Miku screams. It's a trend I don't mind one bit.

[@vincenzo-maidiac-5457]

I have heard of people talking about various mistakes during the concert. People are crazy! Saiki jumps and dances with 15cm of heel, Kanami does not stand still for a second, is constantly in headbang, never looks at the guitar and always looks at the crowd, Akane smiles throughout the concert, tries to interact with the crowd, the only mistake that was when she was distracted by the cameraman. Miku ??? God, constantly plays and sings backing vocal, during Omajinai time she screams more than a human being does in his lifetime, and soon after, she is able to continue singing and hitting even that note in Sayonakidori. Misa is Misa, she is never wrong. 5/6 errors in 2 hours of show, people have probably heard only bands in playback live so far! Best band in the world!

[@billb.5183]

I'm sure some losers are sitting at home and keeping score as they watch these videos. I wouldn't worry about them too much. The maids could stand there like statues and be perfect (and bore the shit out of everyone), or they could rock the roof off the joint and make a little mistake here and there. I prefer the latter. If you want perfect and boring, go to a Dream Theater show.

[@VladimirChupin]

The greatness of BAND-MAID becomes apparent when you compare them to the live performances of other bands. Only then you will understand that play a song live is not the same as to make it done in the studio. Very rarely you find a band which sounds better live. Only the true legends like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin were able to accomplish such a feat.

[@bartyslattfast]

@@VladimirChupin IMHO it is because live, the song includes their hearts, the emotion they throw into the song via their performance.

[@usagi3919]

It could be that everyone says that they sound great live that some expect them to be perfect. I hear some mistakes now and then but it just reminds it is live and they are human. Just enjoy.

[@Parker--]

"She screams more than a human being does in his lifetime," Oh, as a Packers fan (currently 3-6) and a gamer, I'm not so sure about that one (I keep my mic off). 😉 Her screaming is definitely far more pleasant to listen to; that part is for sure. You are absolutely right though, it is ridiculous to criticize them for a handful of moments that barely qualify as mistakes during an entire show. When Saiki flubbed the talky breakdown during Bubble, I believe the only time they played the song all tour, I found it refreshing and the crowd cheered her afterwards. It was actually better that way because it was a human moment from the rock goddesses that we all got to share with them.

[@kiyoharanoshonagon9669]

ダイアモンドホールでもそうだったけど、SAYONAKIDORIは盛り上がるんだよなあ。名曲！

You can see Miku's sense of accomplishment when she hits 'that note', and the audience is right there with her....I wish one of the girls had walked down and shook the hand of that guy with the ponytail, true fan right there

Since Led Zep, no band I've ever been encountered like BAND-MAID! Such beautiful BAND ever! Unique in all ways! Different in all manners! Best BAND of all time, IMO. LIVE FOREVER BAND-MAID!!!

[@Olivia-mh8wq]

And to think, Miku couldn't even play guitar when the band first started. Man she has come so far, I'm so proud of her.

[@septimusseverus7237]

8 years learning from scratch and be able to sustain a proper rythmical section for the monster power trio formed by Misa, Akane, kanami, while at the same time singing complex harmonies with Saiki. Anybody minimizing her role in this band is just plain stupid.

[@Olivia-mh8wq]

@@septimusseverus7237 Absolutely. Miku is the heart and soul of Band Maid.

[@theohof2204]

Nothing but my deepest respect for Miku - with talent and steely determination to the top of the Rock world, marching roads shunned by rent-seekers and their ilk. This marvelous lady is a role model in many ways.

[@VladimirChupin]

Definitely a role model for me! 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

[@Kissthetoad321]

Sayonakidori will forever be Miku's song.😢. She gives a lot of emotion and the crowd feels it. An intense moment. Thanks Vladimir.

[@VladimirChupin]

It's a story of Romeo and Juliet, and Miku conveys it in the most beautiful and touching way 🕊🕊🕊😭😭😭

[@Kissthetoad321]

@@VladimirChupin Has she read Shakespeare? Or seen a movie based on this story?🤔 Or Gary told him.😉

[@bartyslattfast]

I love Saiki, but this is one of their greatest songs IMHO & Miku has earned everything.

[@VladimirChupin]

Now, when Saiki has started writing lyrics as well, it's becoming clear that Miku and Saiki have different tastes and attitudes. Saiki is more wild and off-the-track, while Miku, in words of Saiki herself, is contemplating and philosophical. And they are fused into a single entity in the band, and they sound amazing always!

[@weilima9316]

Heard this was a pretty emotional rendition. Glad to see it captured by the legendary Mr Vladimir Chupin! I think it was very cute how Kanami retreated behind to Akane’s side during the duel solo instead of standing next to Miku as usual. Like “she’s got this”.

[@VladimirChupin]

Mincho is one of the greatest and humblest people on Earth 💖

[@craigfenson]

am so happy for twin tails. she's stepped up to meet her sensei's challenges.

[@VladimirChupin]

The band puts her more and more into the front as a guitarist, actually. That intro for NO GOD was amazing! And Miku was playing one of the lead parts!

[@endari3482]

Our small pigeon, She's definitely a rock star!

[@ryanbedford2985]

They're not just a band but a family. The love Kanami shows by stepping back and letting all the attention be focused on Miku is unbelievable.

[@VladimirChupin]

I think Kanami is a little bit scared of her own greatness. If she would demonstrate her power too openly, her bandmates would be pushed back. So, she consciously steps down to let them shine. Mincho is amazing 😘❤️

[@alxvdark]

It's worth underscoring for new fans-Miku is the only band member who gets literally no break for the entire show, maybe a few moments when Saiki MCs, but that's about it.

[@slcm529]

Thanks Vladimir for this one!!! I was touched by the crowd's hype when Miku hits the highest note of the song. Great job, LA!!!!!

[@VladimirChupin]

Yes, it was like "GOAAAAL!" shout from football fans when their favourite team makes it 😍🕊🕊🕊

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you Vladimir for the video. Miku nailed it, and the crowd appreciation on her high note was priceless. You could see the pride in Miku's and Mincho's face after the performance. Sayonakidori is no easy song to play and sing, and Miku's does both at the same time, she is an amazing performer like the rest of her band maids. I hope you were able to get a ticket for Tokyo Garden Theater 🙂

[@VladimirChupin]

No, I was not able to get that ticket to Tokyo Garden Theater. I lost the lottery for O-MEI-SYU-SAMA, and after this, Pia held a lottery for the Japanese residents only.

@@VladimirChupin I'm sad to hear that. Maybe there will be tickets available at a later date, never give up hope.

[@marklesterjimenez5536]

This is what i respect about miku, she has a wonderful voice its just that it aint as loud or as powerful as saikis but she does this because she wants to do it and for saiki to have a break And she brings her triple a game everytime she sings this specific song so damn really admirable

[@ryuudrogun2567]

Sayonakidori is my favorite song by Miku as main vocal, in the first performances you could see that she had a little difficulty singing some parts of the song and had a flaw in that last high note, but now she has improved a lot, as she is not the lead vocalist I think it takes longer for her to get used to a new song because she doesn't have the same vocal practice time, Miku rocked this performance po!

[@william7038]

THE GREAT QUEEN PO!!

[@livinimmortal]

TT-TT Miku taking the lead during the solo! Shes has come a long way.

[@VladimirChupin]

She is also taking the lead in the intro to NO GOD. They push her forward as a guitarist more and more recently.

ミクさんの歌をけなす人もいるみたいだが、彼女のリズム感はスゴいよ。音程ははずしてもリズムははずさない。クラシックや演歌じゃないんだから、音程よりリズムとパッションが大事。それがロックだ👍

[@VladimirChupin]

Miku is very talented musically. She is that rare type of person who can "walk around" the melody as other people can walk around a tree. I have a friend who is also like this, that's why I say it's a personality type. I remember we were once having a party, and she was playing guitar. We were all singing together a song we all knew. We were singing it in unison, and then she suddenly started improvising. She was weaving an improvisation melody around our singing, and it was amazing! Not many people can do it. Miku is also like that. It's not a problem for her to "sing around" Saiki's main melody. She goes higher, lower, in syncopation, whatever. This is absolutely amazing. She may not be a very talented guitar player, that's true. Her guitar solos on Hatofull album are very good, but she treats guitar in a similar way she treats her voice, I would say. She does not shred, like Kanami, she just "sings" with her guitar.

I get that the "Misa" chant has become a thing, but I think some people need to dial it back a bit. Watching some of the concert videos coming out, it feels like random people are constantly screaming at her every time there is a break in the music. Keep it respectful, ya know?
