Enjoyed you takes on the Maids. Always like hearing what musicians have to say about them because it's more real.

[@richardn8866]

We Madiacs (Band-Maid Fans) have come to recognize that they are a hard rock band with tendencies to add other genres & stylings into their music. It's affectionately known as "Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things". Thanks for your insight, it was very informative and appreciated. Cheers!

[@Puyax01]

Band-Maid doesn't block reaction videos to their official released content. You are good to go

[@throwaway9389]

Thanks--great insights. And thanks for pausing. Band Maid has the ability to be solidly hard rock yet so many other things at the same time. You might also like "Sense." Good luck on your tour. We need indie music!

[@toxeus_sbor]

Thanks for the reaction! Listening to your music. You guys are awesome!

[@Kevin6059]

Definitely a trait of theirs to make totally different instrumentation on each verse. They never stop surprising you!

[@MnPofBM]

Keep doing what you like/love & Thanks for checking out/supporting our MAIDS again. If u got time hope too see u again with MAIDS’ song🐦

[@DAVID-io9nj]

Always interesting for comments from musicians. This song was commissioned as the closing theme for a reboot of a popular giant robot anime of the past. I like the snippets of your own band's music. Good luck.

[@gotate4487]

Please also listen to "NEK!", a four-member girl band formed in February of this year.

[@himbo754]

"Protect You" was commissioned for the anime "Grendizer U". That is why it sounds very anime-like. But it is Kanami-like too.

[@findle70]

Love your pro insights, and your ability to explain practical stuff to a non-trained audience is impressive. And yes, Akane LIVES in that 16th before the drop. She can do more in that space than some do in a bar. LOL Good luck with the tour launch!

[@BRO-HI808]

Thank you for keep coming back to Band-Maid. Another great reaction. Love hearing what a Musician has to say. The appreciation is genuine and feedback is fantastic. Sounds like you'll be busy with a tour, but I hope you will still find some time to react to Band-Maid. There are still so much great music for you to explore with the Maids, so please continue and enjoy the journey. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

[@EllaSilentDragon]

Great song! Love their sound. Thank you for the reaction! 😊 Just like I love the sound of "City Of Sound" (great name by the way) ❤ Good luck with your band!

[@jjo154]

Man, I love your reactions. I wish you and your band the best in your endeavor. 👍

[@Studio-Coast_Kid]

As I'm sure a bunch of Madiac's have mentioned, this is the commissioned outro to the Anime Grendizer U! Hey Man, Great Reaction! Best of luck on your tour, America needs a forward thinking band of its own and from what I've heard of CoS, this could be it. Go Get It! 🤘 Oh Yeah, almost forgot, It's not only Band-Maid doing Band-Maid Things! ( Chase Cameron) It's Band-Maid Second Verse Vibes Baby!!!!! (Coined by Champ of Medium)

[@grahamreed8774]

See how much fun you can have with a Band-Maid song. They did one US tour in 2022 and two US tours in 2023. It's our turn next. Great reaction- Thanks (UK).

[@technopsychobedlam]

Good luck with the tour! You guys deserve to break out big time :-)

[@Quartermaster_Veteran]

Thank you for reacting to BAND-MAID! 🖤 If you continue with our Maids check out the music videos for Alone, Choose Me and Daydreaming. Three of their best all-time songs!

[@Blanzalot]

You band has a an awesome sound. Your voice rocks, I hope you guys get that break cause I need good music in mainstream

[@brunobryant4846]

Nice one, thanks. The creativity and arrangements in B-M's songs are jaw dropping, truly a band comprised of 5 musical unicorns. What a fcken band Po 👍🍻

[@HG-kr5dc]

from JAPAN.　　Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID. As another commenter said, it is really unfortunate that some reactors make bullshit comments with limited knowledge, pretending to be experts. The reactions of real professional musicians, no matter what your evaluation of BAND-MAID is, are well on point and very informative and enjoyable. Of course, as a fan of BAND-MAID, I expect it to be well received. From now on, thank you for your support of BAND-MAID.

[@geoffb5]

I know you're very busy with your band but I just want to say this even if it never gets noticed. I'm an old Midwest boomer. 60s-70s-80s rock is/was my wheelhouse. Your band, to me, feels like some I'd listened to and loved back then. Love what I've heard so far. But this is about Band-Maid. I've seen many bands that had one of more outstanding musicians and/or singers. Quite a few that were good at composition and performance. Bands that had rabid fans. Now Band-Maid combines all of that and that is rare. But they have brought something else to the table that I have never seen before. We fans call 3 songs they have written the "Smile Trilogy." The songs are Smile, About Us, and Memorable. These are their "love letters" to their fans. "Smile" is about how happy they are to see our smiles as they perform in a concert. "About Us" was first performed in a live stream show during the covid shutdowns. They had been scheduled to perform at Budokan but the show was canceled due to covid so they did a live stream on that date instead. Before doing "About Us" Saiki the lead vocalist gave a short very heartfelt talk about how sorry they were that they couldn't meet us at Budokan and how hurt they were seeing all the misery and helplessness that everyone was feeling then. And so they gave us a song of hope for better days to come. To remember that even in the darkest days we are not alone. "Memorable" was written during their 2022 US tour. They hadn't played outside Japan since 2019 and were very unsure what their reception would be here. When they played their first show in Seattle, and then in the following shows all across the US, they found they had more fans than they knew. People who didn't speak Japanese knew all the words to their songs and sang with them. Joyous concerts. So their main composer, lead guitarist Kanami, started composing a song to thank their fans for lifting their hearts at the concerts. In the tour documentary released as part of a special video edition of their 1/9/23 Tokyo Garden Theater 10th anniversary kickoff concert we get to see Kanami first showing Saiki the beginnings of "Memorable." Perhaps I'm just getting soft in my old age, I've loved bands and artists before but this is the first group where I feel, know, and see that they return that love. Special, they are special, and I'm so glad I found them before I'm too old to enjoy them.

Greetings from Australia and great reaction. Finally a musician and genuine music lover that actually knows his shit and can appreciate talent.

[@alohask8jp]

Thanks for your interesting analysis! Your reaction to BAND-MAID helped me discover the wonderful song “...but one ghost”. I enjoy listening to it with my wife from Japan!🤩

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I really enjoy your reactions. You pick up on details that I haven't noticed.

[@TomRussell-cy6ll]

Dude.....it is so refreshing when a musician listens to Band Maid !!!!!! It'sreally seriously sophisticated writing..... Kanami is an absolute genius and the level of musicianship from everyone is off the charts !!!!! I get so tired of clueless reactors listening to BM and they just don't have the ears tp appreciate it. Being a drummer.....I will tell you. BM made me a better listener because there is so much going on that it takes a few listens to fully appreciate it. And NO....I will never ever be able to play Akane's drum parts because she is that unique and good !!!

[@outwest1014]

Kanami does not write the music by herself, there is a reason the credits for the music is Band Maid!! Read a Kanami post-US tour interview, some great new insight on the inner working of Band Maid.

[@cius2112]

I love the solo so much!

Early days of Band-Maid struggled to fill their shows and sold their tickets themselves. It took them 3 years before they were finally allowed to write their own song. They were gigging many nights of the week. They were on the verge of breaking up before Thrill went viral and saved their career. So all the best to you.

[@outwest1014]

Actually it was their agency was going to disband them. Only Miku and Saiki would remain. They were under contract, everybody else weren't. The agency supposedly was going create Dance Maid with Miku and Saiki.

[@lurkmerchant]

@@outwest1014 Yeah I know that story, too.

[@glenkelley6799]

Thanks for your reaction to Band-Maid. As you mentioned, this is a song for an anime ending. The elevator part was added to give the feeling of being inside of a giant robot traveling to the head for the final battle.

[@roqy]

The anime is Grendizer U.

Anime is big in France, so the "Oo la la la la" is a marketing ploy.

Cool that I found your reaction channel through Band-Maid. I'll be definitely be giving your band a listen. Another band you might want to check is a band that Band-Maid just collaborated on writing a song together with. They are The Warning. I discovered Band-Maid through them and now they are friends. The band consists of 3 sister from Monterray, Mexico, 19, 22 & 24 years old.

What is it about Americans and Japanese music? Why do you you always need to compare it to or "this sounds like Anime Music" just because it's Japanese. When it 's just pure rock or metal?

[@wrighteousj]

It’s not like anime music bc it’s Japanese? Huh?…it’s like anime music literally bc of its tone and top line…also found out ITS A THEME SONG FOR AN ANIME 😂😂😂

​@@wrighteousjI love a good 'Gotcha!'. They've done a number of anime's .. Try 'Different' and 'Sense' - two of my favorites.they've written for anime.production's.
