Lyrics:
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

Welcome to Band-Maid!

[@saikisfang9339]

Tip of the iceberg. I suggest the song "Play" next.

[@avader5]

This 2015 video was the make-it-or-break-it video for Band Maid. In fact at this point Miku couldn't even play the guitar since she thought she was only going to be a vocalist in the band. However this video did so well they decided that Band-Maid was going to be a successful project and that gave them the exposure and financial wherewithal to get started. This is before Misa and Saiki started dressing Gothic. Band-Maid is Jimmy Page approved!

[@COTTERO]

In fact, the video for "Thrill" was released in November 2014.😉

[@thammond1946]

The journey begins.

Hello my friend. Wonderful sharing. I enjoy watching. Stay connected.

[@philcalvino884]

Hey Pandora, so awesome that you love Band-Maid and want to build a playlist! Here's one thing you will absolutely NOT have to worry about: finding great songs. Their songwriting, led by lead guitarist Kanami Tono, is simply on another level. Their music forges together a blend of influences and genres to produce something truly unique and super-addictive. Their songs can be rockin', energetic, balladic, emotional, punk, pop(ish), jazzy, funky, serious, and sometimes all of these in the same song. Thrill is not a bad song to start with, but it was Band-Maid's first "break-out" song back in 2015. You'll be getting a lot of suggestions, but here are a few: Domination (live), Play (live), Warning (MV), Manners (MV or live), Black Hole (live), etc. If you like slow jams or ballads, try Daydreaming or endless story (both MVs) or the absolutely gorgeous Anemone (audio only). All of these are on their official site, and the label seems to be cool with reaction videos if taken from the Band-Maid channel.

[@PandoraPlaysMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@silentwood207]

Woohooo! Another new Band Maid reactor! Welcome !

[@tonygriffin_]

Two members (MISA - Bass, Akane - Drums) are classically trained musicians who studied at the Tokyo Academy of Music while Kanami, the lead guitarist, has also been playing piano since the age of 3 or 4 but is concert standard (almost unbelievably, given her skills, she only switched to guitar about 10 years ago!) They all have superb musical ability as well as passion, a lack of ego and the drive to play real, in your face, Rock which is why they are THE best live Rock band on Earth right now. The only band I've seen that is playing live like bands I went to see in the 70's, such as Led Zeppelin or Sabbath or Zappa. Music they write themselves, real guitars, drums and bass played loudly and with passion as well as powerful Rock vocals. They are all really close friends and know how to have fun together on stage, confident as they are in each others’ abilities and skills. They've revived the classic Rock sound and given the genre a much needed kick in the ass, as Babymetal have done for Metal. Future reactions I'd recommend, as they really shine brightest live, would be from the DVD they released in April 2020. FREEDOM: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk , PLAY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX3biZKqaduabbc , CHOOSE ME: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTUmqeYjcycnbc , DOMINATION: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k and WONDERLAND: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmXLqX-bfcekkNE , though they have superb music videos too.

[@TehPhysics]

I have it on good authority this is Hello Kitty's favorite band. Strawberry Shortcake's, as well. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single BAND-MAID song. Bon Voyage!

BAND-MAID is celebrating its 8th year of formation. BAND was formed by a girl who came to Tokyo from a local city of Japan to become a singer when she was about 20 years old. Five unique and talented girls gathered. The members have not changed, and they are continuing their efforts to improve their playing ability. They are constantly writing new songs and cool songs. Three new songs were released at the end of October. BAND-MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs. 1 Thrill　　 : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014 2 Sense : The theme song of the anime "Platinum End". Dramatic, fast hard rock with a classic intro. 2021.10 3 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock 4 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season. 2020.12 5 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Saiki and Kobato vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful. 6 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence 7 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 2021.02 8 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile. The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best. 9 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die. 10 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016 11 Secret My Lips & Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day . 12 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused. 13 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation". 　　　　　　 RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought. 14 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony. 15 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics. 16 Choose me : An insert song of the concert scene the Netflix movie KATE, they appeared as BAND MAID. Cool rock song. 17 Dragon Cry : The only song produced by Tony Visconti. It's not their lyrics, but it sings about the future of human society and the earth. Great Heavy Classic Rock . 18 After Life : A homage to the maid cafe and band formation where Kobato worked. BAND-MAID Hard Rock . Added ★ Peace & Love　: Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.

[@PandoraPlaysMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@crabuki1273]

This is a difficult song to start with BAND-MAID, even though that's where most people start. It barely gives a hint of what they're capable of. The video isnt' even clear they're playing for themselves. They are :) They've pretty damned impressive, in particular at song structure and riff creation. This was written for them. Once their label allowed them to write their own stuff, it was lights out.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

It was lights out for everyone else & lights on for those that discovered B-M :)

[@SocialNetwooky]

" The video isnt' even clear they're playing for themselves. They are :)" ... with one notable exception ... po ;)

[@jeffreyrigby2387]

Your opinion is that this video is a difficult song to start with because it barely gives a hint of what they are capable of. That is true (IMO) but it is the beginning of Band-Maid in vids. Starting at the beginning gives you a better insight into the road they have traveled musically, from playing music they didnt write to where they are today.

[@seriouslypersona968]

They crushed it!!Cant wait to hear what we rockin out to next!🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿🔥🔥🔥

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Welcome aboard, Pandora. You are embarking on (along with many others - 130 million YT views!) an awesome hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (118 songs with their latest album, “Unseen World” and new single drops), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off the rails spectacular. Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XWaJppgpJnorM Their later songs from albums Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, H-G-K, Black Hole, Sense, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Glory, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts! And many are represented with over 40 well produced music videos. kzbin.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts. Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA on February 14th (“Domination” kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k), ZEPP 2018, Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 (bandmaidprime.tokyo) and some of the better 2019 tour Fan vids are excellent. Here’s four of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at super intimate venues. These two taken by Vladimir Chupin in Hamburg: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZCUpZttmNmag9E, and a fun, wonderful live performance in Amsterdam of Miku introducing "Don't You Tell Me" (with MISA & Kanami's great instrumental exchange) and "Turn Me On” (with MISA's solo intro): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZe8gqKNd9GGps0. The next one was taken by JT Dayo in LA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqasinWhdt6Veas, and finally by JOSER8845 in LA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6S6i6mifKx3idU. If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid members are: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 27 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 30 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 30 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 31 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 29 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note.. uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS] ■ BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. ** NEW ** Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have finally included the ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts at their Prime website! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo/ ■ [NEWS] Streaming Live "BAND-MAID ONLINE ACOUSTIC" delivered on Saturday, December 25, 2021, ticket details and info at their official website. bandmaid.tokyo

Welcome to the Pigeon hole, should you choose to enter. So glad you found them, stay with Band-Maid because these girls are for real and never disappoint.

"Dice" "Blooming" "Real Existence"

They have two fully English videos, but honestly, it's the quality of the talent that hooked me. Just go to their channel and randomly pick anything. They have a wide variety of songs with unique sounds. Or, do as I did, and watch them all in the order they came out and watch them grow.

I can give you some suggestions and links for Scandal songs.

[@Kevin6059]

Typical way this works when this is the first song you ever hear by them. (note that they didn't write this song - now they write all their own songs.) 1- Oh, cute girls in maid outfits. Probably sound terrible if they rely on a gimmick, or maybe they're faking it. 2- This is a great song. It rocks! Still not sure they're really playing though - that guitar solo was too good. 3 - You see a live clip next of say, Real Existence Live from their channel, and then it smacks you upside the head - holy crap these girls can really play!! 4 - You progress through present day, gradually figuring out that they have gotten exponentially better over the years, and they are now the best hard rock band in the world. Don't believe that? Keep listening to them and find out. They are one of the hardest working bands I've seen, and that girl in the pigtails? She started the band, but that guitar was mere decoration in this video - she couldn't really play it then. Now she's a very good rhythm guitarist and still does great background vocals, and writes all of the lyrics. That lead guitarist - she's a phenomenal player, and yet that's not her main strength. That would be songwriting, and not since Lennon/McCarthy (my opinion) has there been such a run of awesome songs (way over 100 now) that are all great and many flat out incredible, and ranging from ballads/power ballads, speed metal, 70's hard grooving rock (my faves), prog, pop/punk and sometimes all of this in the same song. Recommend you go sort of chronologically from here - go with Real Existence Live next, then Onset to get a better idea of their instrumental prowess and just go on through their catalogue. Their live videos are usually better, but the Blooming, Bubble and Manners MV's are all some of my faves. Typically, trying to pick your favorite maid or favorite song of theirs is like picking your favorite child - although harder. Their music is very positive and uplifting without making you want to stick your finger down your throat too - they have a magic, in that you always feel better (really) after listening to them. Happier...ready for your day. BM is a drug and I don't care how addicting.

On the 8th day, God created Miku Kobato. And on the 9th, she created Band Maid ! Band Maid since 2013. Making Rock and Roll great again ! Keep them coming !

[@drogonr9318]

This band is phenomenal. Let this sink in: perhaps this band's greatest strength is their creative, complex yet catchy songwriting - and yet Thrill is not a song written by them (and you can tell). This song comes from early in their career where they lacked creative control and - as I think is common in Japan - had most all of their own songs rejected by their label in favor of those written by more established songwriters, like Thrill. This was not a bad thing, as it enabled the band to learn more about songwriting and finding their own sound, and in the case of Thrill going viral, it literally enabled them to get enough recognition to continue on and eventually wrest creative control. But literally the more you listen to them, the better they get - until you realize they are one of the best rock bands to come around in decades (and to my mind, easily the best all-female rock band to ever come around). They are important to music.

[@davidornberg]

That was an old song written for them. To get the full flavor of Band Maid you need to see them live. Play, Freedom, Domination, Choose me are all great live songs. Newer music videos to see are Manners and Warning. Welcome to the Unseen World of Band Maid.

Hello from Kansas City and welcome to the best current rock band in the business 🤩

[@himbo754]

Band-Maid can do anything from thrash rock to acoustic ballads. A good example of their diversity comes on the double feature video: "Manners" / "Black Hole". "Manners" is funky groove, while "Black Hole" is frantic, unrelenting speed. And the bass can be heard clearly in both -- one of their many great points (Misa the bassist is the favourite of many fans ... but then so is Akane the drummer, and Kanami the lead guitarist, and Saiki the vocalist, and Miku the pigeon .... er, lyricist, backup vocals and rhythm guitar -- and band founder and costume designer and spokesperson). Oh, and greetings from the big old West Island of New Zealand.

Welcome from Auckland, Pandora! If you're looking for more Band Maid, pop over to their KZbin channel. If you wind up wanting to buy on CD/DVD/BluRay, you'll have to import direct.

Together with Lovebites the two best female rock / metalbands on earth. Try the live songs "Freedom" or "Domination", or some of their recent videos.

[@everettnapihaa6111]

Saw Band Maid on a Japanese Music Show JMelo in 2013 or 2014 and I said to myself "wow" these girls are different. And I found myself coupled and hitched to they're bullet train ever since. Rock beyond metal...without Rock, there would be no metal! And this is the new blueprint of Rock forever a boysclub now "Dominated" by unlikely hero's of Japan's BandMaid! Rather than just another metal band, these girls are the best Hard Rock Band on earth! "Happy Holidays!"

And to you, Happy holidays!

[@phaeron]

Oh, if you're already thinking here that these ladies are Badass, you're in for a few surprises. :) For 8 years now these highly talented ladies are on the road as a band, a catalog with well over 100 songs and not one of them can be called "bad". It offers variety, inventiveness and almost every song has this catchiness factor and is still so complex that you can even after repeated listening still hear something new. For quite many they are at the top of the rock genre and I don't have a single argument to contradict that. Until I came across exactly this video by chance a few years ago, I belonged to those who claimed with conviction that 'rock is dead'. Well, after this experience, this conviction was a thing of the past. Sounds exaggerated and unbelievable? Then I simply recommend 'Domination', 'Freedom' and 'Play' in their respective live versions, or from their music videos 'Real Existence', which is the direct follow-up single of this video here. This pigeon-hole is deep as hell and highly addictive if you're into this kind of music. Don't say we didn't warn you. :) I've been a guest on your channel for some Nightwish or the Eskimo Callboy videos so far, but secretly I've always wondered what you would think of these ladies. Therefore, I'm very happy about this video of yours, that you seem to like it and I also think it's good that you started with this video. These ladies will take you on a journey, I promise! :) Greetings from a German Maidiac _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

Band-Maid did not write this, skip on down,after this song they got control,I reccomend Dice live.

This may not be BAND-MAIDS most complex song...But without it...there'd be no BAND-MAID.....And what a loss to the world that would have been. Long May They Reign.

[@thissailorja]

Ah the song that first got me to listen over 5 years for me. This is a great warm up for the awesomeness that is Band Maid. The best band in Rock now. There is so much other good stuff. They re did this song that is so much filthier and grungier. So much to dig in for later.

[@terrahawk1977]

Should do live version even better

[@glenkelley6799]

Really great reaction and you'll never be able to close the box now, the treasures will continue to spill out with no end. As most have commented, you'll find that anything you listen to next will be great and the live videos will provide another side to their impressive studio videos and most fans will say that live is very much the best way to understand the power that this band is. Looking forward to you're next reaction and subbed based on your reaction to their very first MV from almost 7 years ago.

[@starocean6013]

Misa bass ,kanami guitar , welcome to the pigeon hole your journey has just start with the living legends known as band maid enjoy daydreaming would definitely wonderful t see there range but it doesn't matter because they have no bad songs live or music videos this band will make you shout and raise your hands and can make you cry your eyes out most of all it will make you amazed at the talent that was put together by miku the addition of saiki on lead vocals will rip your heart out they are the greatest band to come along in a long time not to forget akane who brings the thunder on drums

[@airlinesecret6725]

Please don't listen to any more BAND-MAID or your life is finished. I did , now its the only band I listen too and I have to everyday. I have to spend all my money on their live streams, music and merch ( I have no money left) I am now in love with 5 women from the other side of the world, not good for my relationship with my wife. So don't do it, I have warned you, oh and they have effected my vocab PO !

[@stevekane4922]

I'd jump to the present if I was you. Sense the latest MV is about to hit 2 million views after less than 2 months, also it is finding audience beyond the rock and metal world and breaking into SE Asia, S Asia and South America. Go find it and work your way back. The old fans are maybe too attached to the good old stuff but I guess the women themselves would rather you tried their latest work. Also live versions of the Unseen World album. From earlier this year. Not a bad track on it. There should be a new album in the new year.

[@moomakemoney]

Greatest rock band on the planet!

[@jkkansasband7056]

Welcome to the pigeon hole that is Band-Maid. Cute and badass? check. Exponentially better now then when this vid came out 7 years ago. Try DOMINATION-LIVE next. At least 50+ more great songs after that. That sentence is as serious as a heart attack. Hearing is believing. You will very soon find out that BAND-MAID is Awesome. Peace.

[@PandoraPlaysMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@killiansred1000]

More recent videos are much better than this song. Kanami, aka Kanamincho, lead guitar, is a musical genius. She writes the music, presents it to the band then they all make it the absolute best possible. Misa, bass, writes all of her bass parts and you will find out just how good she is in future videos. Miku, guitar and vocals, founded the band when she was working in a maid cafe. It was her idea to have a band play hard rock while wearing maid outfits. Jimmy Page was at one of their shows and wanted to meet Akane who plays drums. He called her the reincarnation of John Bonham. Saiki, lead vocals, refuses to wear an apron or anything looking like "maid" clothing. Her range is amazing as well as being able to add emotion to her singing. No two songs are alike with this band.

[@loverofkpopboyandgirlgroup]

Insane!🥰❤️🤩♥️💝😻

[@Space_Ranger]

They just get better from here. Their next video Real Existence, I think, is much better. But if you watch one of their newer ones you can see just how far. I'll warn you though, they are hard rock but they don't stick to one sound. Rock core with punk, metal, blues, even jazz sometimes.

[@Mass-produced]

Hell yeah!

[@tonygriffin_]

No other band breaks new gate like Band-Maid! I just subscribed in the hope that you'll be inspired enough by this old MV of theirs to watch some of their newer ones (eg, 'Sense', their last release, a month ago - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIixZ5yFe8-gb7c ) or, where they shine best, in a live performance (Domination - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k ). With Babymetal one day and Band-Maid the next, all we can say is "Welcome to the world of brilliant female Japanese musicians, all creating the music for the 21st century!". Of course, you still have the all female Metal band Lovebites to see...and the Wagakki Band...and...and... Japan is music central!

[@FullTexanEffect]

Nice Pandora, you've stumbled upon another great band. These ladies go hard live, and they make great music videos. Here's a recent-ish live performance of Thrill (with subtitles) if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqi1o6OXiMeUfc0. Can't wait to see more. 🤘

[@hiawatha.g]

Oh my gosh, you have opened the floodgates. Why do you love this? Because they may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative. You are going to get a lot of suggestions. I'm subscribing just to see you dive into this rabbit hole. Problem is most of the links get taken down pretty fast. These are a bunch that are official or unlikely to come down. First, a little background on the girls: Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994 27 years old MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992 28 years old Kanami Tono - Lead guitar Composer and main arranger Born Sept 28, 1991 29 years old Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991 29 years old Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990 31 years old Miku was working in a Maid Café after being in an idol group that didn’t break through. She envisoned the idea of a maid-band that plays hard rock and metal. She recruited Kanami, after finding a Kanami guitar cover on line; Kanami then recruited Akane, who recruited MISA. Akane and MISA had been students together at the Tokyo Music Academy. The group decided they needed more vocal “oomph”, and collectively recruited Saiki. Miku didn't know how to play guitar when they started, so Kanami has been teaching her. She's become good so fast that she is really adding to the music mix, and Maidiacs are daring to dream of a dual solo. Next, you have to listen to them live. They are that rare band that sound perfect live, even better than in the studio. Freedom (Feb 14 2020) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHnTpningqaWesk Domination (Feb 14 2020) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k Choose Me (Feb 14 2020) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpTUmqeYjcycnbc Onset (Instrumental-insane!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fVf2CglLqWZrc Daydreaming (slower ballad, gorgeous): kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHTEloihp66nr7s If you want more background, I suggest you react to this classic interview.
