The three love letters to the fans are "Smile", "About Us" and "Memorable". As you have done "About Us" we recommended "Page", while not directed at their fans, it fits the vibe. All are beautiful! And Miku proves that the Pigeon sings sweeter than the Swift!

The first release of Smile (electric) was in 2019 as the B side of the Bubble single. This version is from the online Okyuji- 11 Feb 2021. This is the most fantastic version though. Page, along with Endless Story, probably their best anthems. No need to appologise for playing other genre's of music. I have a few music guilty pleasures. Love the random vehicle in the Memorable vid.

If you ever have the chance to see the live version of Page from the LCS show, I really think you would enjoy it even more. The live feeling of the audience's energy mixed in with the Ladies, makes it just that much more special. Plus it is one of the few times you actually see Akane using triggers and samples on her kit. And the Ladies have a very unique relationship with their fans. If they ever decide they want to turn us into sobbing wrecks, they have the song for it. If they want to pump us up ready to take on the world, they have a song for that. If they just want to have a nice jam to bob your head to, they have the song for that as well. They can play their audience like they play their instruments.

I don't know. If you are a non-musician and not a fan of poppy vocal melody, unfortunately it may sound like Taylor Swift. If the maids release instrumental version of every songs in their catalogue it could change his opinion.

In "Smile" and always, Miku will play however Kanami writes it. Saiki always brings the passion and emotion. "PAGE" for me, is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.....and not just Band-Maid songs. It never fails to puddle the eyes. I have been blessed to never have listened to a taylor swift song....ever. LOVE Miku's backing vocals on "Memorable" and any love song Band-Maid writes for their fans is wonderful.

*Memorable:* After 3 long years *BAND-MAID* returned back to the US for their October 2022 US tour they were worried if the fans would remember them since last time, they performed in the states was back in 2019. But once they returned, they were pleasantly surprised on the reception they received. So surprised that *Kanami* was inspired to write a song during the tour later *Miku* and *Saiki* then began writing the lyrics and on January 9th 2023 *BAND-MAID* presented to the fans at TOKYO GARDEN THEATER. Now it is presented to the rest of the world! *Happy 10 Year Anniversary BAND-MAID* 🥳🎉 In the beginning there was a small pigeon 🐦 who met a guitarist 🎸 who played with a drummer 🥁 who went to school with the bassist 🎸 and then tricked the singer 🎤 to join the band then the small pigeon 🐦 asks the guitarist 🎸 please teach me how to play the guitar 🎸. The Story Continues.

As several others have commented, "About Us" is the other song written for the fans. To me "Page" is an empowerment song, but also very touching. It is a bit "controversial" to some because it opened the "Conqueror" album and maybe wasn't the best choice for an opener. Personally, I think it should have been the closing song because of the tempo and the subject. They closed the Line Cube Shibuya serving with it - what a way to send your masters and princesses into the night!
