English Translation :
Breaking New Gate
I raise the volume within my earphones
So that the dull noises will be erased
Those guys are waiting for the chance to trip and fall
Hey you, I shall let you hear this
This world is always faulty
I’ll be out of control if I just stand still
Even if these rampaging feelings of mine gets abused
I don’t care, just step forward
I’ve gotta be on my way (HEY!!)
On this symmetric flat road, I can’t find any interest in it
Just breakin’ new gate (HEY!!)
Regret means escaping from the hand of evil’s conspiracy
With the thrills, the greatest pleasure of all, I live on
I always see the scenery I don’t want to see
Imprisoned in a room of four walls
A dove creates an arc on such a small sky
Who are you, as I look above
The struggle seems to be real and steady
Even I self-affix myself, I’ll still go out of control
If I can’t be saved by tears
Just enjoy and savor it!
I’ve gotta be on my way (HEY!!)
I should be changing, these unanswered fears into madness
Just breaking new gate (HEY!!)
Tear up and throw away the erased blank pages
To what lies beyond my resolve, along with thrills, I devote my body
This world is always faulty
I’ll be out of control if I just stand still
Even if these rampaging feelings of mine gets abused
I don’t care, just step forward
I’ve gotta be on my way (HEY!!)
On this symmetric flat road, I can’t find any interest in it
Just breakin’ new gate (HEY!!)
Regret means escaping from the hand of evil’s conspiracy
This greatest pleasure of all, gets me going
To what lies beyond my resolve, along with thrills, I devote my body

What makes it so good? Finding a world class bassist, drummer, lead guitar, supporting a group with two wonderful singers and that you have never heard of.

[@fastskipper777]

Band Maid is Hard Rock. Baby Metal is Metal. "Thrill" is a 2014 released song. This song is meant to be heard loud, cranked up while driving. They are a bit stiff, no? They were young then, just starting out. Saiki (vocal) was like 18 or 19 then. Yeah. As may have mentioned before. Three of them, Misa, Akane and Kanami are all classically trained musicians. They got signed up quickly by a label soon after their formation because their talent is no joke. If I may, here is the story. In 2013, Miku Kobato (rhythm, back vocal) was working at a maid cafe (Japan, of course) and had this dream of forming a hard rock band. She was working part time there because she was in a failed J-pop idol group for 3 years prior which was not successful (In Japan, failed idols don't make a lot of money). So, one day she looked up a guitarist online and found Kanami Tono who used to upload her songs online as a solo musician. They talked and met and Miku had her guitarist. Kanami learned piano for 16 years and guitar for 8 years at the time. She plays keyboard on stage sometimes. Then, Kanami brought along her friend Akane Hirose (drums) who used to back her up for percussions on some of her songs. By the way, this time Miku told the two that they were going to wear maid outfits. So, Akane said okay after some thinking. She is a graduate of Tokyo School of Music (same level as Berklee School of Music in Boston) and played piano since young and learned drums at school along with trombone. Akane then brought along Misa (bass), her school mate. Misa learned piano since 3 yrs old and graduated with bass as main axe. There Miku had her band. But, that didn't last long (I heard around 4 months) because Miku realized her voice did not fit the music genre they were playing. So, they decided to have an audition for the main vocal position. There came the ice queen Saiki Atsumi who was at the time signed with the then same management company as them. She was a solo singer/dancer at the time. (yeah, i know) So, then they had their five piece band and history is what it is. By the way, Miku is a bit crazy (for good) and is called a little pigeon. She talks with ending sentences in "po". She is the most comfortable in front of cameras among them due to her years as an idol. She is the most hard working ambassador for her band. She writes almost all of their lyrics now since around 2016 I think. Kanami is the main music composer, then Akane and Misa add to the music and with Miku's lyrics, they draft their songs then Saiki adds her almost final opinion on a song. I think these gals gel very well together and seriously, THEY DO NOT HAVE A BAD SONG. Oh, and Miku got forced (LOL) by Kanami and Akane to learn guitar after forming the band. Kanami is her teacher and she is good now. Inside jokes are: Mikus is a crazy pigeon Saiki is an ice queen Misa likes to drink whisky at concerts Akane loves eating all the time and Kanami is a huge Saiki fangirl

[@damienmaynard8892]

I'd drink with Misa anytime! Japanese whisky or any whisky worthy of the name.

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

She likes whiskey, beer, whatever. The whiskey on stage thing started in Germany. She comes across as such a badass, and had mentioned drinking as a hobby, so a fan left a bottle of whiskey on top of her amp head unit where she would find it. She smirked at the audience, broke the seal, chugged straight from the bottle, set it back on the amp and started the concert, taking a swig every now and then. Audience loved it. So now it's practically expected and part of her stage character. Misa the barefoot (not always, but often) Ninja assassin hits the whiskey, picks up her 5-string and blasts our hair back. Boom.

[@ほっとこハム太郎-b7u]

If you search by "Band maid live", you will see many videos. Only "Onset" is a song without vocals. I am looking forward to your next try. あなたのリアクションがとっても好きです。(≧▽≦)

These girls have been pumping out an album every freakin year since 2014, and the train is not stopping anytime soon, I believe they are releasing a new album this year, they don't have a bad song, not even their debut is bad, they are a special band

[@jayeshbhalerao6475]

Warning..REACT TO THIS BAND AT YOUR OWN RISK...ITS VERY ADDICTIVE...

[@gregp9350]

So true!

[@RCullis47]

IMHO, I think they have recaptured the joy, energy and sexiness of what makes rock and roll so great. Thefact that they are actually great vocalists and musicians just adds to the appeal. Thanks for playing, "Thrill".

[@rickwagner-]

'Thrill' was on the 2014 3 song "single" 'Love, Passion, Matador', but did much better when it was reprised for the 2015 mini album 'New Beginning'. We were thrilled when they brought back this song for the L.A. show in November. It had been about a year and a half since they had played it. Saiki definitely seemed surprised (at least at first) at the loud call and response, and people singing along to all the songs. They mentioned in a recent interview that they could clearly hear the crowd shout "Hey!", even with their ear monitors in. Even though they didn't write the music for this one (Miku contributed to the lyrics), it still has that great BAND-MAID sound. This one is so early that the bassist MISA is still wearing shoes and a cutesy maid outfit, and Saiki, the lead singer had not yet taken a pair of scissors to her apron. : )

[@karlsmith2570]

This is The First song by Band-Maid that served as my introduction to these lovely ladies and this is by far my favorite song by them, I especially love the Bass breakdown right before the guitar solo

[@davidwitmer9929]

Your reactions to this band are a pleasure to watch. I have yet to hear a bad song from them and most are amazingly good. To hear a slightly softer side check out " Daydreaming "

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Good evening you two! Miku, the twin tailed rhythm guitarist, founded the band after waitressing in a maid cafe, singing to people’s food to make it more delicious for about 3 yrs. This was 2013 and she recruited lead guitarist, Kanami, from a KZbin video she’d uploaded. Kanami knew the drummer, Akane, from another acoustic band they’d played in. Akane brought in a friend from music college on bass, MISA. Miku chose Saiki from an open audition because she’d been liking her vocal style already. Miku then began taking guitar lessons from her own guitar player to make the music more layered and rich. 6 months later they were recording with an indie label and playing shows! This band was birthed through the iron will of a maid waitress who learned to play as she went!💪🏻🤘🏻

[@melocitysolo9574]

Band-Maid - "Alone" & "Dice" 😎👍plz next react

[@cy_kotic3502]

Miku, the rhythm guitarist, started to learn how to play the guitar when band maid formed, and one of the things that I love about the band is seeing her progress and get better playing. Also loved how she turned herself into an important cog in song making by being the main lyricist.

[@markcarpenter879]

thanks kel & rich ! band maid the best hard working rock band around today ! amazing musicians ! roll on the next tour .

[@trayzgredner8326]

Love their sound and I can't articulate why, it must be the perfect mix melody and flawless vocal delivery. The band formed in July 2013, Band-Maid is a 5 piece rock band with a maid cafe image. 2014 - 1st mini album "Maid in Japan" released 2015 - 2nd mini album "New Beginning" released (Thrill) 2016 - 3rd mini album "Brand New Maid" released 2017 - 1st full album "Just Bring It" released (Puzzle and Secret My Lips) 2018 - 2nd full album "World Domination" released (Dice)

[@karlsmith2570]

Briansgate I can speak a little Japanese, but not enough to fully understand the lyrics of the song But I love it regardless

[@rednab2001]

Japan is really just musically different....in a good way. Musical artist in the East are not confined to a box as Western artist are. Band Maid has some earlier songs that are much more Jpop that hard rock/metal, and Baby Metal has lots of Jpop elements in their music. Japanese rock bands are not afraid to mix music styles and to do something different you may not be expecting. I especially like the Band Maid songs "Summer Drive," which is an awesome Jrock anthem and "Start Over," which is basically a pop song you would expect to hear on an anime. These songs show the versatility of these incredible ladies. They can be cure and sweet....all the while crushing your balls.

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

What are you talking about? Western music confined to a box? Utter shite. Maybe you’re listening to the wrong music from ‘western bands’

[@rednab2001]

@@Mind-your-own-beeswax This has been an issue for decades in the West. Especially among music fans. Western music fans typically like their artist to do one thing, and one thing only. Let's just say Metallica and Justin Bieber do a song together....both fandoms will hate it and accuse the artist of selling out. If you are a country artist....you do country. Rock artist do rock and pop artist do pop. They are fully expected to stay in their lane. Only the biggest of superstars can work in multiple genres and have it be accepted by most of their fans. The biggest and best example of this would be Michael Jackson. He could get away with doing any genre of music or any collaboration without catching flack. For the musicians, being experimental or changing your sound is a risky proposition. Sure, some do it, but it comes at great risk. The difference between East and West, is in places like Japan and Korea, their artist are expected to be able to perform multiple genres of music. It is fully accepted by their fans as well.

[@borntraitor289]

6:09 i have been struggling with this as well. 8:19 have to agree. whoever's responsible for recording the drums does an AMAZING job. MISA's always got a killer bass tone.. instrumentally, each member is always doing something interesting. they make full use of the audio spectrum.. they're tight as all heck.. no shoegazing when they're performing.. there's so much energy in their songs ..and on the flipside of things, they're such goofballs behind the scenes. no inflated egos. i don't understand how such a group came to be.. the talent, the humility, the chemistry, the individual efforts.. it ain't right!(not serious) 11:17 shout outs to all you reacters with the self control to not keep listening.. i could not do it i agree with following along chronologically.. you can definitely get a sense of how they've refined and evolved their sound over the years

[@CommanderCronus]

Been listening to Band-Maid since 2015, and every song is good. I just wish more people in the USA knew about them.

[@joburnitsun]

I discovered them in the beginning of the year because I've been listening to music from other countries (USA music is terrible to me now) and I've been obsessed with Australian music for years because it's totally different, but I fucking love hard rock. Finding this one completely recommended outta the blue probably because of KZbin recommendations from listening to foreign music, I listen to them atleast once daily. They are so fucking good. People at work laugh when I tell them I listen to Japanese metal chicks and they dress as maids lol. Thy are just so fucking good an flawless.

I am old guy 60 yrs old, been listening to metal/hard rock since day one. This is first band in decades I listen to virtually on a daily basis. I your Black Sabbath reference about the prominent bass and guitar interaction. I have noted that too. You should listen to their live Zepp Tokyo concert. There, you will find, 2 hours of songs that are mind blowing.I might add that I have never bought any foreign language albums in over 40 yrs and so far I have bought two of them.

[@tawnkuimi-uru7212]

There seems to be an explosion of enormously talented groups coming out of Japan for probably a decade now. It is only recently that due to the exposures many are offered through KZbin and other sites that they have gotten their due notice. You mentioned BABYMETAL in your comments, and I do strongly urge and warn you to check them out. In my opinion, there is no other group on the face of this planet that compares to them. But once you two do check them out, and once you two get over that wonderful "WTF?' moment that ALL of us have had, you will recognize what a brilliant concept the group is.

[@rickdaub8258]

This was my FIRST introduction to Band-Maid! Own everything they have released! This one will give a new perspective on the band. Enjoy Kanami (guitarist) and Saiki (vocalist) as the musicians that they are! #Band Maid Acoustic -Puzzle & Anemone Havre de Grace MD

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Unfortunately copyright strikes are done automatically. They use software to find their music and automatically send them out. The state of copyright (both in the US and internationally) is so messed up right now. I'm honestly more in favor of it collapsing rather than see it used more and more by corporations to stifle creativity and control creators. This is a great song tho. As far as why it's so good it's because most of them come from musical backgrounds and are all fans of both Japanese and British/American classic heavy rock and metal. The whole 'Band Maid' thing came from singer/guitarist Miku Kobato having worked in a Japanese 'maid cafe'. It's basically cosplay where the servers are maids and customers are either 'Masters' or 'Princesses'. It's meant to be a contrast to their heavy music as well as being inspired by anime.

[@Tergipedidae]

Zidders Roofurry I’m not sure strikes are automatic. KZbin does have automatic filters that check all uploads for copyrighted material, but if it gets through that (and most Japanese music does because it’s not in the library KZbin uses to crosscheck) I think the labels or the industry association in Japans case probably finds the material at least partially manually. The sad part is that if the Japanese bands were in the system from the start there would be no problem. And again sadly I don’t think they will care about the message at the start of the video. If KZbin finds copyrighted material the uploader for some (I think most metal at least) can upload but give the right to monetize to the lable which is fair as the band has put a lot of work and money in to the music, and Kel and Rich seems to be of the same opinion as they haven’t monetized the videos that youtube doesn’t catch.

[@Badllamah]

@@Tergipedidae I think the latest ones were for Bubble and Glory since they are used by "others" ... Bubble for the theme for the TV drama Perfect Crime and Glory as the outtro for Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. TV types are very protective, to a fault and may be the ones whacking the reactions. The band may own the songs, but certain rights are signed over when you want to play with the TV folks :) those i would usually suggest a link and sync.

[@Tergipedidae]

@@Badllamah Interesting, I'm not very familiar with Band-Maid. The band that seems to take down a lot of channels is Maximum the Hormone, so those are probably best avoided. Or Linc-and-Sync.

Band Maid just bring out quality hard rock song after quality hard rock song. They always find a way to produce interesting styles within each new song. Just beware of the copyright problem with their videos. I made a mistake doing one of their recent songs, as I was excited to discover it, and wham got a strike. I was warned by other KZbinrs, who had been hammered too, so had to learn my lesson. It is pretty random though, who gets hit and doesn't. Safe route probably their older material and live stuff.

[@rakjr6]

Regarding copyright strikes, the Japanese music industry is nuts. It often seems to be random and the strikes comes in waves. Several sites will get hit at the same time. If you pause or talk over the video that seems to help but that is no guarantee. Sometimes a video is just blocked. Some people do the "link and sync", opening two browser tabs, in one you cue up the original MV then in your tab you give people a countdown to the start the paused MV. (1-2-3 click...). But you can't pause the music video and doen't work on cellphone browsers just on desktop ones. Live videos seem to be safer than any official MV. Good luck.

[@itsarchie1261]

Great band! I've seen them live three times over the last three years. They're always fantastic and great entertainers as well as players. I especially like their track Alone if you haven't tried that one yet. Another Japanese band you guys may enjoy if you liked the slap bass in this track is DOLL$BOXX. They're not a straight up hard rock band like Band Maid and mix quite a few styles together with prominent keyboards along with some rock, funk, and metal elements for a unique sound. I'd recommend Take My Chance or Loud Twin Stars as good song choices to start with if they sound like a band you'd be interested in checking out! #DOLL$BOXX Take My Chance, London UK

[@jbartyparty7398]

These girls definitely understand precision and how to arrange a song with an ear to melody, but they are not afraid to expand beyond that with creative guitar lines, bass solos and call/answer type stuff between Misa and Kanami, who just has a great feel for how to write a solo that is rarely gratuitous and generally always fits the underlying structure of the song. Also, Akane doesn't get the credit she deserves for her frenetic but always controlled drumming. She and Misa work so well together and form a strong and reliable spine to hold every song together rhythmically. But again, they also aren't afraid to push boundaries, add embellishments, transitions and combine genres in a way that is both musically interesting, yet almost always catchy in a way that makes you want to sing along, even though we don't know the language. I know you'll be covering a lot of BM in the weeks to come, but don't sleep on the 2016 album release "New Band Maid" as every sing one of the 8 songs is damn good, but each offers a little something different. Especially Before Yesterday, a song that has elements of both a melodic rock ballad as well as as a faster tempo hard rock song. And the way Saiku sings it gives it somewhat of an ethereal Don Henley "Boys of Summer" 80's ballad feel. Here's a link to their music video for Before Yesterday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKbNkGCwapJjbNk Long story short, they are just cool ass chicks who know how to write and play amazing music.

On point summary from your review, "Precise High Quality Delivery"

[@SmartrMelons]

Just a hint: If you speed up the video .001, it will be harder for the tracking to identify it. Download the video, set the speed for .001, .005, or something. It's almost unnoticeable to the listener, yet doesn't match the algorithm. You can also use filters to avoid visual tracking comparisons. But I would think that your usage is Fair Use as it stands. Fair Use is allowed for critique.

Really dig their vibe!! Just wish they were in leather, but the maid outfits are catchy. Yes, they are really tight, good sound, pretty technical and on point. Probably from a strict musical up bringing and this is their time to break away and do what moves them. Good react.... Rock on and stay heavy!!

[@mrsleep0000]

Now you gotta try Aldious, they will blow you away! Start with Monster, or We Are.

Between this video and your previous Band Maid reaction there are so many good suggestions already that there really isn't much for me to add. I will say that if you really do like great guitar work (and it's obvious that you do), you should give their instrumental song Onset a try. Here's a link for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5WToat_fpiMra8 #BandMaid Onset Florida There's also Take Me Higher with a cool call and response between MISA and her bass and Kanami and her guitar. Another link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHfcipyGeb-tmtk #BandMaid TakeMeHigher Florida There's one more song that I know you'll love (and here's where I get drummed out of the Band Maid fan club), but I forget the name at the moment. There's another great call and respond between MISA and Kanami and they end up jamming in the middle of the stage. Maybe one of the other Band Maid fanatics can supply us with the name and a link. I could search it up but it's after 3 AM here and the brain is starting to shut down. Heh, I guess there was more I could add. Anyway, I really loved you reaction to this band. They are everything you said they are, and more. Definitely the start of a new wave.

Non-Band Maid thoughts... About copyrights; One of the things reactors have been doing to avoid copyright strikes is what is referred to 'Link and Sync'. In a nutshell... 1) You provide a link to the Music Video you are reacting to in your description. This is the 'link' part. 2) Tell people to open that linked video in a separate window. 3) When your ready to start your reaction, you do a count down 3-2-1-go and on 'go' you click play on the video at your end and the viewer clicks start on the video they've opened in a separate window. This is the 'sync' part. 4) This is the important part. You do not display the MV or play the sound for the MV on your reaction video. The viewer will get the video and sound from the video they've opened in the separate window. This is a bit complicated and inconvenient for the viewers, but so far this seems to be the best way to avoid copyright strikes. It works because you are not sharing anyone's intellectual property by playing their music or videos in your video. All we'd see and hear if we didn't open the linked video is you dancing to the music that we can't hear and your comments. Babymetal; I feel that I have to warn you about Babymetal. The concept behind Babymetal is a fusion between Japanese idol music (aka j-pop) and heavy metal. In it's simplest terms, it's 3 female pop singers in front of an awesome metal band. It's very different, very unique and it takes a pretty open mind to appreciate it, especially if you're coming from a metal background. Some people have a hard time getting past the initial shock. Personally, I think it's great, simply because it is so unique and different.

Love the gritty, hard sound to it.

Their musicianship is as tight as it gets! Wow!

Band maiko!!!! 😁 😁 😁

Love Kanamis solos.. Always fit the songs perfect.

[@StrikitRich]

Crazy to think that at this point Miku could barely play the guitar. What a journey since 2015?

#Asterism Rising Moon Erie Pennsylvania USA Hope you see this. Hearing your reaction to Band Maid, I think you would freak out hearing Asterism. 16 year old Japanese girl who shreds a guitar like she sold her soul to the devil. Played on international tour before even releasing an album! PLEASE try Rising Moon, you won't regret it.

Dang it... also for got #bandmaid Onset (insturmental) and one of my favorites Matchless Gum

[@slowbluesmaster]

Great to see you starting to appreciate the all-female (hard)rock & (heavy)metal bands from Japan. Please note that the 'godmothers' of the genre are the absolutely awesome *Show-Ya* They started in 1981 (!): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Show-Ya and are still at it, all aged 50+ now I think you'll enjoy something from 30 (!) years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZTRoqWdqZl_ec0 And you should take a look at *Lovebites*, e.g.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5auqoRqra5go7s They appeared at Wacken Open Air 2018 and at Bloodstock 2018 and have been signed by Nuclear Blast Records

[@Kmudaify]

This was my introduction to Band-Maid.... and I had pretty much the same reaction, disbelief at just how good they were.

[@randywhite1724]

I’m just curious; could someone please define for me the difference between Rock and Metal music. Is there a clear difference or is it just all the same thing?

Another Japanese band you need to react to would be Aldious - Absolute (Live)

Great reaction....please reaction...DOMINATION and FREDOOM....LIVE 2020......CRAZY PERFORMANCE

BTW... Anyone think Rich looks like Colbert on steroids.... that's a compliment lol...

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

I'll take it as such. Colbert is a cool and smart dude and he has a stillness about him that I admire. The steroids part...yeah, he's a bit older and doesn't have to content with the likes of my Lil Taurus sitting beside me. She's freakin' tuff...have you seen her bang into me? And that's just playing around. She was a wrestler on the boys team in high school and a kick ass provincial level soccer player and lifetime personal trainer and kickboxing instructor. I better keep in beefed up shape @ron o !!!! Rock on. Later. Rich

[@ronoda]

@@Kel.N.RichReactions Yes Kel doesn't look like she tolerates softies... good for you guys.. keep up the great work! and don't sleep on Maximum the Hormone.. they will blow Rich's mind part 2, no joke lol... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaxZpimarKlmrs

More band-maid please, all the songs are good! Love your reactions, a couple of suggestions, turn down the volume of the video, it's difficult to hear what you say, and please do a 760p version ;)
