Band-Maid = TALENT! "From Now On" Reaction!

[@80mtn]

The Lead guitar is Kanami Tono. AKA 'Mincho'. She has her own cheat code in Guitar Hero. The Konami cheat is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start 🙂

[@hellobrewtiful]

That’s awesome thank you!!!

[@jkkansasband7056]

They should have had Saiki drop a mic at the end of this song. Although that would be showing off and BAND-MAID does not do that. Also, if I didn't know better I would agree they are not human. Except I saw then Live in October and not only are they human (although on a much higher level than me) but they are funny and awesome as they interact with the crowd. Band-Maid forever. Peace. 3.12

[@TomClark-Futoura]

FROM NOW ON Band-Maid will grow in popularity even faster! Thx, Brewties!

[@kennogawa6638]

Glad to see you healthy. The Maids are back in the US in May playing a music festival.They played this song when they opened for Guns N' Roses last month.

[@BM4-Life]

Top *BAND-MAID* song _(All of them)_ 😊

[@davidgilman3230]

Good to hear your health is back. Thanks for reacting to more Band Maid. Kanami, the lead guitarist, is also an introvert and it always surprises her bandmates how she turns into an in-your-face rock star when on stage. A live instrumental is 'Onset': kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fVf2CglLqWZrc

[@tonygriffin_]

Obi-Wan Kanami, the lead guitarist not only shreds like this but composed this and most other Band-Maid songs. Genius, maestro, Rock goddess.

[@paulpetersen879]

These girls are the real deal. Such a fantastic band. Merry Christmas ladies!

[@hellobrewtiful]

Merry Christmas!! 🎄

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Their best instrumental so far, easily.

[@ronayala9456]

If you want another Band Maid instrumental check out the video I filmed when I saw them in NYC back in 2019 called Don't Be Long. It's not as good as this one but still great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e16wnI2VZ7aIbJo

[@Space_Ranger]

You can literally pick random. They are that good. Hit machines! However, if you want my favorites then: Dice, Gion Cho, Different MV. Live Real Existence, Onset, Play.

[@ronniebrucehalford8396]

Love your banter. And you have a chance with Band-Maid. The rhythm guitarist didn’t even know how to play guitar. She had to learn while they were recording and touring. Now she has her own signature Zemaitis guitar. And I agree with the others. Try a live video like Domination or Real Existence

[@Clavers-jr8np]

It's not only the girls of Band-Maid who do not show off. Humility and politeness are traditional values of Japanese people in general (even hard rockers). In their culture, when you elevate yourself, you are implicitly putting other people below you. I love the fact that these ladies can be so sweet, humble and polite while putting out such awesome high-energy rock music (and beautiful acoustic pieces too), and also being goofy and funny off stage. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tommyjohnson9175]

You might really want to go to songs like "Play" Official Live and them "Real Existence" Live to really get their live experience, their new songs like this one from their new EP are MV for now. Superior songs, but I do like to see them live.

[@falconsooner]

I agree with both

[@TLouie2]

Saw Band Maid twice while they were in the US. Amazing. Catch them if you can.

[@TlanImass]

Unleash!!!!!, influencer and Sense are part of the same EP as From Now On and they have music videos. :D

[@Greg-om2hb]

Try their second most recent video: INFLUENCER

[@VegetaRabbit]

They have a wide range of songs, here are a few recommendations based on the type of rock you like: Blooming - mix of styles Daydreaming - ballad influencer - their new style Manners/BLACK HOLE - groovy rock / high-tempo rock Sayonakidori - acoustic with Miku as lead singer/lead guitar REAL EXISTENCE or Dice or Warning! - hard rock Rinne - even harder rock Gion-cho - BAND-MAIKO's love letter to Kyoto

[@powbobs]

It was even better live.

[@zabriabubakar5982]

Play Live is from same concert SS Freedom and Domination. It is a super fun song with lots of crowd participation

[@fernandoNovo59]

Hey I like the sound track for Pirates of the Carribean....lol! Nice reaction ladies... Another suggestion for Band-Maid...listen to Bubble or for a beautiful ballet try Daydream... Thanks...Peace & Respect from 🇨🇦 - PO!

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this song performed live flawlessly in B-M's pre-US concert in Tokyo and dropped my jaw😱 like you did😄. I believe so did many of American audience at 12 venues. This song has been normally played in the middle of the setlist to give Saiki some break. Most of the audience at B-M's one-man (or one-person) concerts had, of course, already known their skills and talents. They played this song, however, as opening at three festivals (Download Japan / Summer Sonic in Japan and Aftershock in USA) and in Guns N' Roses concert in Japan as support to the legendary band. Yeah! they showed off their skills and talents to the audience who knew nothing about the girls in maid outfit on the stage. I felt as if I heard them screaming "Hey guys! Listen to us and open your eyes wide! We are not the persons that you think ! Salute us!"😍

[@tttrip]

Great response as last time! ! Next, listen to "Daydreaming" which is just right for you.

[@bruceveary1758]

Back in 2015-2017 (and even occasionally today) you'd hear some commentator (I've heard several) say, "C'mon, are those girls REALLY playing those instruments?" My return comment was always, "Yes, those ladies ARE actually playing their instruments. Perhaps you should stop by, and they might teach you a few things".

[@zer0tzer0]

More BAND-MAID, please.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

I suggest the following Band Maid songs: Thrill, Dice, Manners, Bubble, No God (live) & Turn Me On (live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/omrMk4iHYrtgkJY - last song not on their official channel

[@あめやま-h8w]

Thank you for responding to BAND-MAID. There are also lots of "Dice," "Sense," and "Blooming" catchy rock. If you feel a little lonely and want to meet someone, the ballads of "Daydreaming" and "About Us" are also recommended. Of course I cried many times.

[@hiawatha.g]

They started off awesome and they keep getting better.

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

And now there's a new band Lonesome Blue check out Face the Fear. I've already mentioned NEMOPHILA haven't I.

[@martinlangstrom8036]

Great reaction😀 and you should listen to Onset live. Another anazing instrumental. Merry Christmas 🎅

[@hellobrewtiful]

Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁

[@joeseconi250]

Seeing these ladies perform this live this past Oct was next level amazing. I am so happy you ladies are discovering this amazing band and you cant go wrong with anything in there catalog. Freedom is a great choice, but a favorite of my daughter and mine is Choose Me. Merry Christmas and I cant wait for your christmas light Band Maid light show, it will be awesome for sure.

[@thammond1946]

The Maids are not human, they're superhuman.

[@billhallisey7298]

We need many more young women (and girls) to review and react to Band Maid. This is the perfect example of female talent and empowerment. Keep it up!

[@crabuki1273]

Thank you for returning to BAND-MAID! For what it's worth, when you're watching a video, it's likely easier to use the keyboard for backing up a bit when you pause. Spacebar pauses and plays (obvs), and then left arrow backs up 5s, and right arrow skips forward 5s (or 10s, I can't remember). Good luck with the channel!

[@toshimatyu6654]

From Japan　Thank you for BAND-MAID's reaction. BAND-MAID is a pure live hard rock band. They opened the American Aftershock festival with from now on. On subsequent live tours, it is performed as a rest song for vocalist Saiki. There are a lot of fan videos on KZbin now. They have nearly 130 original songs, 5 of which are instrumental. The 5 members have great talent, but they think they are still lacking, so they are always striving to improve their playing skills. That's why fans are always surprised by new songs.　Enjoy their changing and evolving music.

[@mkoose]

One thing is clear. You both love Band Maid. The rest is family ;-)) Band-Maid christmas lights for the win !

[@keithmeyer9558]

They may not be looking to you as band members but they would love as Maidiacs.

[@bradmenpes809]

With most bands, the instrumental is ho hum boredom to give the singer a rest. With Band-Maid, the instrumentals are kick ass S-Tier goodness that showcase their incredible writing chops and genius level playing ability. Every Band-Maid instrumental is an event.

[@johancoetser906]

Try Sayonakidori and Catharsis acoustic live from their official channel next...

You paused the assassin's bass solo?!? I saw them do this in Silver Spring. Sooo good.

[@toshimatyu6654]

From Japan　I recommend watching BAND-MAID's latest live footage. They announced that the Shibuya Eggman live video distribution held in September will be broadcast on December 24th, and the live at Tokyo Garden Theater will be broadcast simultaneously on January 9th. Shibuya Eggman is a small home live venue from their obscure days, Garden Theater is the largest venue ever with a capacity of 8000 people. Tickets can be purchased on the fan site.

[@TheJerm]

Welcome back and again, welcome to the family, brand new Maidiacs! "from now on" is firmly entrenched as my 2nd favorite Band-Maid song. My numero uno is "Blooming" - mv, but you can pick anything, seriously does not matter. I'm sure we'll all be here. Happy holidays! 🕊

[@hellobrewtiful]

Happy Holidays!

[@RahimRahmat]

Heh, you consider this an early Christmas present, huh? Well, last year, literally on Christmas Day (I'm in Singapore, so only one hour behind Japan, but it might have been Christmas Eve in the east coast of America), Band-Maid livestreamed an Acoustic Christmas Concert. It was the most unforgettable concert I ever watched online...... I wish you were there to watch that concert. I don't personally celebrate Christmas, but that was the best Christmas present that I ever got in my life... 😊

[@sean1728]

Best hard-rock band on the planet. If someone disagrees, it's just because they're dead-wrong. 🙂

[@BagoPorkRinds]

If you think watching these ladies (mainly lead guitarist Kanami) will give you carpel tunnel syndrome then I suggest another all female Japanese band. A lot of Band-Maid fans who are long time Hard Rock & Metal listeners will swear to you that Band-Maid is currently the best live Hard Rock band on the planet to come along in the last 30 years. But they or I say we will also tell you the best current live Heavy Metal band now in the same time is Lovebites. They are mostly a Power Metal band who have been together for 6 years that also do Thrash, Speed Metal, Progressive Metal, Symphonic Metal, and other sub-genres. The two lead guitarists Midori and Miyako are really something to behold. Their shredding and technical abilities will blow you away. Not many duo guitarists out there are at the same level. They actually shame a lot of guitarists and the band as a whole with equally fantastic skills shame many western bands. Please react to them. Start off with Holy War (live) Thunder Vengeance (live), or When Destinies Aligned (MV or live). From there with more reactions then you'll discover why they are considerd the best metal band now.

[@manrayma]

I watch your reactions and see myself 3 years ago when I first found Band Maid. Get a glass of wine, sit back and listen to Dawn Winery Theme . I swear the ladies make those instruments speak!!!

[@elevown]

Nice reaction - BUT- you need to either get some good headphones or speakers! It sounds very tiny and low quality- and im sure it sounds nearly as bad to YOU. You cant properly appreciate music if you are listening to it with poor quality speakers.

[@tmt7265]

Love your reactions. Keep them coming. Band Maid forever!

[@sugaanessena3143]

Next one? Hmm... thats a tough one. Because they are all amazing. Just pick one, you can't go wrong with Band-Maid (or Band-Maiko) You should check out Jinjer - Pisces

The one on the left is a metal fan and that’s her genre! So jinjer she listens too quite often so unfortunately we can’t react to that!
