"Different" is one of Band-Maid's anime themes. The anime community has commissioned quite a few themes from Band-Maid. They are very willing to listen to the animator's premise for the anime and incorporate it's plot devises within the lyrics. Other examples of Band-Maid's theme music are "Sense", "Shambles", "Glory, and "Corallium". They'll soon release one for an upcoming anime, 'Grendizer U', a song titled "Protect You" But don't trap yourself into thinking that Band-Maid is just anime themes. their music is all over the map stylistically. They do HARD ROCK, soft rock, ballads, love songs, hate songs, songs of inspiration, fight songs, fusion, jazz, rap, and they mix it all together in interesting ways. Band-Maid is best experienced LIVE. They put on a very entertaining concert. "Puzzle", "From Now On", "HATE?", "Moratorium", "Cross", "Warning", Giovanni", "Wonderland", "Onset", "About Us", "Endless Story", "Domination", "Freedom".

This song was commissioned for an anime. Kanami said she just picked it out of a folder she has of pre written music. In the same interview she said her goal is to write about 50 per year.

[@VladimirChupin]

It's interesting that in the anime itself, i.e., in the opening for it, they sync a doll theatre dance with some of the Kanami's frenetic guitar rhythm.

[@daaaaaave]

If you like the bass, you’ll love the band, generally. They started with one guitarist, and decided that they needed to add a second guitar for the music they wanted to make, so the founder learned on the job. They had to make writing choices around her skill level, so their bassist developed into kind of a lead bassist. Since then, their rhythm guitarist has really grown quite good, and they can play some crazy stuff. This track is a little bit older, and has some weird riffs that a lot of people bounce off of, but if you’re into it, you might want to check out Corallium.

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They can make you headbang, they can make you pogo, they can make you cry like a baby. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and world class musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up. Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. Her idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

... Miku is also a middle aged man 😅

Hi Krishausen, welcome to the world of Band-Maid. What a song to start your Band-Maid journey glad you are on it ;-)

[@waynebenedict5785]

Welcome to the awesome world of Band-Maid! Five Japanese ladies that rock the music world!

[@falconsooner]

Excellent reaction. You made great observations. Yes, the bass is prominently featured in most Band Maid songs. Interestingly, the lead guitarist, Kanami, does the composing so she is willing to let others shine. Saiki, lead vocalist, does make more stylistic choices in the live performances. The recent live of Don't You Tell Me is a great vocal performance by her. Live versions of Manners/Black Hole, Play, Domination, Wonderland also have stylistic choices (more vocal fry etc).

[@elliott8339]

Thanks for the reaction and comments. Different is a banger! These ladies are angelic sirens...you won't get any screamings or growls out of them. Frequent pauses are not an issue as long as they are to make a point. We're here to hear your thoughts. I think you'll love Band-Maid since MISA(bass guitar) is very prominent in most songs. I suggest Moratorium(2024 Zepp Tokyo) or Shambles(mv) since the others have already been suggested. Cheers!

[@Krishausen]

will add em to the list

[@skrrytch]

+1 for Moratorium live.

[@TherealSeriousMoonlight]

Band-Maid is known for their top-notch composition (Kanami Tono lead guitar, also primary song writer) and execution. This is a rare song without a guitar solo. Vocals are usually fast and rhythmic with great harmonies but they have all the other tools too. Thanks for the reaction!

[@chrisbergsten1429]

What? Different has a solo, they just don't stop the rest of the song when it happens XD

[@TherealSeriousMoonlight]

@@chrisbergsten1429 hmmm.... I'll allow it! :)

[@ronniebrucehalford8396]

There are other songs where you’ll hear different vocal techniques. For instance, “Influencer”. What you might be overlooking here is just the relentless vocal onslaught the singer delivers. Saiki sings non-stop, creating a tension where you’ll wonder if she’ll stop to take a breath. And she’ll do this with most dings during 2-3 hour concerts. But if you want various vocal techniques , other options are the live vids for Wonderland and Domination. Oh, and great reaction.

[@Krishausen]

thank you for the comment and yes watching back the video i did realize of that i just assumed it was a consequence of production and all, but it is something i was setting myself to observe if i caught it in other songs, also added to the list

[@nicornkernels4863]

Discovered Band Maid thru the movie Kate in 2021 but I haven't taken the time to listen to their whole discography yet. Looks like I have to start now. haha In line with you reacting to a japanese artist, I suggest you check out Wagakki Band too (if you haven't heard of them yet). They blend rock and metal music with traditional japanese instruments. Great vid as always. :D

[@Krishausen]

That sounds so interesting definitely added to the reaction list, any song in particular youd recommend from Them?

[@nicornkernels4863]

@@Krishausen" Akatsuki no Ito" is the first one I've heard from them so I guess that's a good start. It has an MV too (although I find myself watching more of their live performances).

[@Krishausen]

@@nicornkernels4863 nice, I personally like diving into studio versions first to then redescover songs through the live performances, is usually two different experiences

[@MnPofBM]

Pausing is Good 😌, not everyone like but No worries 😉. MISA ( bassist) = no middle or last Name - ONE and Only MISA🤷🏻‍♀️. Thanks for checking out our Maids

[@tinyhato]

Nice breakdown. There's always a lot to talk about in a Band-Maid song and the bass is always featured. Most of the time the singer "just sings the song" so if you're diving deeper don't expect too many "diva" moments. Have fun.

[@interstellardave]

I’m not sure he meant it like that. I think he was thinking about different vocal techniques, and Saiki does have a good repertoire in that regard, depending on the song.

[@Krishausen]

@@interstellardave my point indeed, i refer to stuff such as vocal fry, vibratto, falsetto and so on, mostly the techniques one sees artists do to perzonalize their performance

[@zoob6510]

@@Krishausen You probably haven't seen much of the main vocalist's unique technique yet. If you want to know her power, technique and performance, watch their live video. It's good that you paid attention to the side vocalist. These two are exquisitely intertwined and show complex chemical reaction in the songs. More BAND-MAID.

[@skrrytch]

​@@zoob6510... and especially Miku (band founder, rythm guitar, harmonies and back vocals, sometimes lead) is very often much better in the mix of live videos. I don't know why she is so silent in the album tracks... 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@britwill72jp]

The bass is prominent in all of their songs.

[@interstellardave]

Fortunately this does NOT turn into “hardcore death metal screamo”. We have enough bands like that, IMO. Band Maid has a very unique sound that always subverts new listeners’ expectations. They are so great, and so prolific… the band that just keeps on giving! IIRC there are official captions on this video so you can watch it again and read the lyrics, which are very interesting. As for your female vocal preference comment: try their official live video “Wonderland”. Also live video of “Endless Story”.

[@vincenzo-maidiac-5457]

Finally another competent reactor! Too many pauses? Yes. Annoying? Not unless you just say "this is amazing" like everyone else for 20 minutes. Welcome to the world of Band Maid, where you need to listen to a song at least 20 times to catch all the details. Good luck! I suggest "Wonderland" for great vocals.

[@Krishausen]

thank you for the comment, added to the list!

[@skrrytch]

Yes, Wonderland .. and Corallium live 🤘

[@throwaway9389]

You're going to love this band. Give a listen to "Wonderland" to get an example of what Saiki (vocals) can do.

[@himbo754]

Saiki can do vibrato, rasp, patter, rap, and very emotional songs.

[@chrisbergsten1429]

Saiki does use vibrato, falsetto, fries, etc but for some reason she goes with a very clean, restrained sound for the studio productions. If you listen to them live, you'll hear her "going for it" a bit more. These have been suggested already, but try their recent performance of Don't You Tell ME from Yokohama, or their older Wonderland performance (both on their official channel) to get a bit more from Saiki. Interestingly, Saiki was recruited early in the band's history since the backup singer/rhythm guitarist Miku, who founded the band, decided she didn't have the right voice for rock. Saiki does have a really clear, authoritative voice that cuts through the mix, so it was a good choice. But Miku probably has the larger octave range. They harmonize quite often. They do about one song per album where Miku sings lead, and in some of their early work they traded vocal lines. I want to say "don't sleep on the drummer" but I'm sure if you listen to more Band-Maid you'll notice her :)

[@Krishausen]

Nice this is so informative, im looking forward to reacting to some of their live presentations

[@skrrytch]

​@@Krishausenyou should ❤ Besides "Wonderland" I can recommend "Play", "Domination" and "Moratorium", all live. And "Real Existence" and "Freedom" are one of their best live performances and quite early songs in their career..

[@danmolnar402]

One of my favorite Band-Maid songs. Rhythmically so good. Lots of emphasis on offbeat. Let's go it's showtime!! You'll get a lot song/video options - just pick something, they are all great. Very different vibes as you listen to different tracks.

[@JohnGioffredi-gi7zd]

When you have a bass player like the Barefoot Assassin, you put the bass line up front in most of your songs. Check out DICE and MANNERS. More BAND-MAID please!

expect to have videos about 20 minutes long for Band Maid reactions. there is always so much to unpack but oh so worth it. This is one of the few songs that Kanami the lead guitarist does not do a solo.... because the whole thing is just 1 big solo for eveyone lol. You should check out "From now on". It is an instrumental that is awesome. their live song "Hate?" would be good if you are a fan of the bass
