Band BIO:
The band formed in July 2013. Singer/guitarist Miku Kobato, formerly an employee of a Japanese maid café, envisioned forming a band that juxtaposed the maid image with rock music. Kobato recruited lead guitarist Kanami Tōno after an Internet search. Tōno had performed as a singer-songwriter and suggested her occasional backing drummer Akane Hirose for the new band. Hirose in turn suggested bassist Misa, with whom she had attended music school. On July 24, 2013 they had their first live performance at the PP Audition held at Osaka Deep, as a quartet with Kobato on vocals. The band then decided to recruit an additional lead singer and selected Saiki Atsumi during auditions. Their first performance as a five-piece was at the P Festival at Shibuya-AX on August 22, 2013.
FUN FACTS about band::
- Misa loves to drink. She loves it so much she even carries her own hip flask that she uses to drink during concerts
- Kanami has quite the girl crush on Saiki, even going so far as having her as her screensaver on her phone
- One of Band-Maid's dreams is to have their music used in anime, and if it was to be used in an anime, Miku would want the anime to be Bleach, Kanami wants Tokyo Ghoul and Saiki would want it to be Detective Conan.

[@xagorvangard]

Explosion, Fire, Fast cars, Daredevil stunt, Intense. You would think one is describing an action movie. Nope. Just Band Maid's newest MV release. The soft melodic intro was calming until BAM! Drums and Bass beats you hard with that guitar riff shredding you to pieces. Just very intense and never let up. That Kanami solo on top of the car with the smoky orange fiery glow is just EPIC! The massive explosion behind the band was equally awesome. Band-Maid never disappoints. But, then again we can't expect anything less from them at this point. They are hands down the best and hottest rock group in the world. They are on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥

This song was like a race! Either cars drove girls, or girls drove these cars. The speed was felt in the music. I liked the pace, captured me. The vocals sounded clean, organic. The picture added energy. It was interesting to watch and listen. Bravo to the girls! The response is great! I know that these are some of your favorites and I am not surprised by this. Thank you friends for your reaction!

[@dicodec]

I can definitely see that for sure!

[@weilima9316]

The intro is kind of like a version of the “Maid Waltz” they use to intro their live concerts. Kanami kind of writes a new version for each tour season. So... it is very suitable serving as the intro to the whole album (This is track 1).

[@dicodec]

Oh ok, I cannot wait to get this album. Do you think they are coming out with a new music video?

[@weilima9316]

@@dicodec they’re keeping everyone guessing. What we know is that they announced there would be “content” released once a week for a month. They’ve released 2 MVs so far. That leaves 2 or 3 more content releases (depends on what they define as one month). MV is the most straightforward content but it’s quite hard to believe they would release 4 MVs in 4 weeks... it really is anyone’s guess. Also, IF they do release more MVs... no one can guess which song it will be for... it’s a ridiculously good album and not exaggerating that every song deserves its own MV and every song has its place on someone’s favourite track list. Edit: To be honest everyone is surprised After Life hasn’t got an MV because they released the track the earliest and mentioned it was one of the lead songs. they’ve subverted expectations 2 weeks in a row now. 😂 It actually won’t be surprising if they do release another MV and it still isn’t After Life. The most popular choice for MV by fans’ comments seems to be “Sayonakidori” but we all know it’s very unlikely because it’s a Miku solo song and Saiki doesn’t sing in it.

[@weilima9316]

@@dicodec oh btw... the Limited First Pressing Edition of the physical album comes with one extra track (a kick-ass pop-rock track), and a Blu-Ray disc with 4 MVs - 4 instrumental tracks. 3 tracks are from the album minus Saiki, and one more - Without Holding Back - is an amazing pure instrumental track. You get solo zoom-in versions of the video for each of Kanami, MISA, Akane and Miku (their instruments and hands, not faces), and a combined video where you see all 4 of them. Food for thought if you want to get the album.

[@davidornberg]

That explosion and resulting fireball were real. During the premiere the girls were talking about how cold it was during the shoot especially since at one point they got soaked to the skin in a sudden downpour. I loved Miku’s comment that the explosion was nice because it got momentarily nice and warm. LOL

Underrated comment I saw on the official video was something like: "I just watched a video of Japanese Maids, playing Hard Rock music while strapped to the roof of Jaguar sedans and rally racing on a dirt track. Sounds insane when you say it out loud!"

[@Dtagcity]

@@dicodec I have the same issue but mine was self-inflicted. When I was a kid I jumped off the 1st floor of a building onto a deep sand pit while playing around. Though the sand was enough to cushion the fall, I landed squarely on my behind and Ugh that pain was traumatising and embarrassing at the same time 😅 I still can’t recall why I did something that reckless when I knew I was never the impulsive type..

[@SLKRR]

MISA uses slap on a lot of tracks on the new album, much more than at anytime before. And Akane, damn, she just lets loose with these ridiculous fills all over the place. You're going to love the rest of this album, because it's all "next level Band-Maid."

[@dicodec]

HECK YES! Her bass was a step up in tone also.

[@powbobs]

@@dicodec Which I would have thought was impossible. In one of their interviews, I think it was in a Japanese bass magazine, she spoke of changing her technique to replicate her tone when she ends up having to use a different amp.

[@sugoruyo]

Akane has gone completely nuts this album, she must've destroyed half the Amazon rainforest in drumsticks learning to play this stuff...

[@Space_Ranger]

I think there's no "normal" Band-Maid. I think they have shown how versatile they are with their music with doing classic rock to metal to punk, then throw in some jazz! Just because they can. They always sound like Band-Maid and yet somehow keep it fresh all of the time.

[@dicodec]

@@dicodec shes rocking falsettos too, damn

[@Dtagcity]

H-G-K is the most technical track in this album according to the members. Kanami stated that its the hardest one she’s written till date as the main riff there was beyond her current ability initially. This is basically them pushing their current musicianship level to the bleeding edge. On the other hand, Black Hole is the track where they pushed themselves individually on how fast they can go. They joked about how they simply ran without keeping track of each other hoping that no one gets left behind. 😅 You really need to check these two out.

[@dicodec]

What ??? Really, that is crazy that this was the most difficult. The solo was definitely the most technical I have heard from her - Alan

[@Dtagcity]

@@dicodec Yeah that solo on H-G-K was my fav off the album too. But that riff was just nasty eep..how she was going in and out in the verses matching the pace perfectly with Akane and Misa. Akane said that she pretty much held her breath throughout that track coz there wasn’t a single moment of rest.

[@RudiTheMan]

Yeah, that one is so Kanami,

[@Mikupigeon]

@@dicodec I think he is talking about the song H-G-K. Thta's Kanami entered god mode... some very interesting licks in there indeed. Misa's god mode songs are NO GOD and I still seek revenge. Of course, for Akane is Black hole

[@SLKRR]

H-G-K, BLACK HOLE, NO GOD and Giovanni are by far the most technical and progressive tracks on the album. BLACK HOLE is 220 bpm and proves that Akane is a superhuman drum machine. H-G-K is Kanami's guitar masterpiece, NO GOD is all MISA, and Giovanni... that's just a crazy weird song that I don't even know how to classify.

[@RunningPen]

I could gush about Band-Maid for the nth time but I'll comment about you guys instead. Tbh I thought the "one person pauses to nerd out while the other silently seethes" dynamic would get stale after a while but i feel like it's actually gotten more natural over time between the two of you. So good job guys! Among the reaction channels that I end up watching, Dicodec straddles the line between "super enthusiastic music fans" and "educate the audience about music stuff we pick up while listening." It's a nice niche which makes me keep coming back to your channel. You've earned yourselves a subscriber today.

As for the mixing, I couldn't agree more. Compared to the last two albums, it is a world of difference! Whether this is due to their new label or whether they really took some opinions to heart, doesn't matter to me. It's just nice to finally hear the ladies' music in the right quality. And they certainly don't waste a single thought on stepping on the brakes in their quest for 'World Domination' or to reach the 'Unseen World'. And that staging of Kanami's solos on the roof of the car is by far the best I've seen so far! 🤘🔥🤘 ... Just as good as the annotations in your videos! 😂

[@SLKRR]

The deep bass notes are higher in the mix this time, just like on Just Bring It. It really gives the music more "punch." On WD, the snare drum is crazy loud, but not the bass, and Conqueror is just kind of muddled throughout. IMHO

So far my favorite song on the new album is still Manners, but that's probably because I prefer the normal tempo songs over the super-fast tempo - or more accurately I really like the fast ones but I'd like them to be the exception and not the rule. That said, this album is still sinking in - not sure my opinion has "settled in" yet. Still my favorite band!

I share your opinion. Band-Maid has the technical chops to play very fast, but it's the songs with a little more space between the notes that I prefer. "Moratorium", "Awkward", "Flying High" are examples.

Nothing wrong with classic band maid you have to remember that is what drove us to band maid to begin with we should never forget and want the maids to stay in touch with that side of them because if they we will alway get fresh and surprising music

FCK YEAH ITS FRIDAY! WARNING! - BAND-MAID COMING TO KICK YOUR ASS! So many things stick out in this song for me but I think the biggest 3 things are #1 Akanes drum fills (No surpise here). #2 Saiki vocals (Again no surprise here). #3 Mikus vocals. Holy fck can we please talk about Mikus vocals. They were so damn good in this song. All the backing vocals really added to the song. Not taking anything away from Kanami and MISA either, there were both doing their thang as usual.

[@outwest1014]

What do you think the symbolism of the one of cars is English and the other is American? Me, it has to do with their mission of world conquest (Rock World). With the English Subs, I now have increased my number of views so I can enjoy the lyrics. They've got a really a good video team now, Huh. Also for the peanut gallery, they aren't really playing their instruments from the top of moving cars. Kanami has control of the production and Saiki has the "We're Done" call.

We didn't notice 🤔 that's a good theory though. I like it and support it.

Sayonakidori - The best Miku song so far.

[@1972cd]

This song is my favorite off the progress CD by a wide margin, I figure you guys would love this one and probably love the rest of progress. The Roots CD is where its at for me, looking forward to seeing your reaction to other songs off this album. I remember telling you that while I am a 8 out of 10 (for musicianship I would give it 10 out of 10) for this album, I still think you guys will be giving it a 10 out of 10. I am a bit surprised you like afterlife better then this one Alan, as the band considers Afterlife more of their tradition sound and Warning more of their progressive sound.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

IMHO Saiki is the best hard rock vocalist in a very long time.

[@dicodec]

No complaints here. We love her vocals!

[@Airblade101]

The reason that Saiki can get some of really fast phrases out the way that she does is because of Japanese as a language. A lot of the words very easily lead into each other and there isn't a massive amount of movement in the mouth to get out like 80% of Japanese words like English.

[@dicodec]

Very true!

[@yuizaift8940]

Agree After Life is the best song in the album so far Different eould be up there too if that song in the album Oh yeah this vocal melody remind me of old One Ok Rock (Niche Syndrome, Zankyo Reference, Jinsei×Boku= era) which is nice Kanami like the band, she cover them before

Thanks so much! Yes, Band-Maid killing it in this one for sure. That is pretty funny about Kanami. So true though haha.

[@brettmarlar4154]

You're the first ones I've found who focused more on the song, than the stunts in the video. Don't get me wrong, I love how this video was shot with all the stunts. But it's all for naught without an equally kick ass song. I agree with you on the vocals during the song. It's as if Saiki and Miku are providing and extra rhythmic instrumental layer with their voices. But Missa, I'm sure, simply ignores what Kanami is playing and focuses more on Akane's kick than anything else. This is evident by how her pulses are in perfect lockstep with the kick. As someone who has played many freelance bass gigs, I can say that my primary focus is to lock in with the drummer whilst leaving space for any and all soloists. Not to say that her part isn't anything short of brilliant, because it is sheer brilliance! I can't call this song "typical Band-Maid". Though it does have elements of the familiar it is still pushing the more intense, heavier vibe of Different and Afterlife. There are several songs on this new album that I could see mosh pit inducing when live shows can be a thing again. Very much like Among the Living Era Anthrax.

[@dicodec]

She totally follows akane and that is how it should be done in my opinion. I fight with bassist all the time about this. They are like what are you playing, and I am like NEXT

[@brettmarlar4154]

@@dicodec to be fair, the bassist needs to know the chords as well so they can be the groovy harmonic bridge between the drums and the rest of the band. So the bass player has a lot of responsibilities.
