Bochum 2019-06-24 20.38.52 BAND-MAID CLANG

With Misa/Kanami battle at the beginning.

[@otobokegaijin6218]

One of many classy things about Bandmaid guitarist Kanami is the respect she pays her fellow musicians, alive or departed. When Mikio Fujioka, lead guitarist of Babymetal's Kami Band died, Kanami tweeted (on her Bandmaid account Jan 10, 2018, translating from the Japanese): "Kind-hearted, cute-smiling Mr. Fujioka, I was able to say a final good-bye to you. [Presumably Kanami attended Mikio's funeral.] I will never forget you. As poor a guitarist as I am, allow me to keep you in my mind while I am playing. Thank you for the greatest music. I pray for your soul." When Eddie van Halen died, Kanami retweeted Wolf van Halen's post about his dad and tweeted herself (Oct 7, 2020, translating): "Mr. Eddie van Halen, I learned about tapping from your solo 'Eruption', and I hoped that one day I could produce the same sort of heart-piercing phrases that you played. My guitar hero, may you rest in peace. I pray for your soul." When jazz-fusion pianist Chick Corea died, Kanami tweeted (Feb 12, 2021): "Today I am going to have some coffee and listen to Mr. Chick Corea. He soothes my soul. May he rest in peace." Thought you’d like to know more about Kanami the person.

Thanks a lot! Kanami is the most kind-hearted person I know...

[@markh1085]

Oh wow. Thank you. Kanami is the most sweet and beautiful person. The soul of an angel 😇❤️🥰🥰🌹💐💐🌹🌹❤️🌸

[@wormcacing2373]

Cant get enough of clang. Sick riffs and solo by kanami, God-level drum akane. My current no1 BM song right now 😍

[@DarthHunter5]

Gosh, I can't stop watching that intro again. Transitioning from the tapping into the super heavy part, my ears blew off at the concert :D

[@rockero1313]

I love how they always move all over the place so everyone can enjoy all of them. sadly, nobody ever mention that poor guy untangling there cables every show, that guy IS a real hero 🤘

[@VladimirChupin]

The guy is Daisuke Kondo, and he's a real pro. He can play all instruments, and he has a hawk's eye for any problems on stage. When a cable is caught in a pedal, or Akane drops a stick, he's immediately there to help. twitter.com/DaisukeWylde?t=YUcNH7E2buxDzYldYjInvg&s=09 Give him some appreciation.

@@VladimirChupin Did Miku trip over the cord...as usual? 🙂

[@VladimirChupin]

@@ShikataGaNai100 Maybe she just twisted her ankle. You may have noticed that she wore a different type of sandals during this trip. The rumour was that she actually twisted her ankle before the trip, and therefore was forced to wear more stable shoes. This Sturdy Pigeon was singing even with her ribs broken, what are we talking about...

[@ShikataGaNai100]

@@VladimirChupin Well, she is a self-admitted clumsy person. LOL

[@Mad_maxman]

あらゆる苦悩と苦難に挫けずに立ち向かう。 成功と勝利と自らの力を信じ前に突き進む。 たとえ自分ひとりしか頼れる者がいなくとも・・・ 挫けそうな自分を自ら鼓舞しつつ闘い続ける。 命を燃やし信ずる事を成し遂げるようとする強い意思が奇蹟を呼び寄せる。 この曲のそんな主題は人生の苦悩と苦難に挫けそうな者に勇気と希望と気力を与えてくれる。 10月9日の仙台公演でこの曲が再び披露され、盟主連中の精神がぶっ飛んでしまったのは良く分かる。

These Beautiful Women are so Musically Talented.

[@JuanSan66]

I just don't get tired of seeing it !!

[@davidannett3322]

Misa you are amazing, you're incredible skill and stage presence are an inspiration to me! I think you are a goddess!!!

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

The people who are editing the official live MVs should take notice of Vladimir's filming. I appreciate to be able to see what each member is doing. I then replay focusing on the next member. Thank you Vladimir, great videos as always :-)

[@VladimirChupin]

Well, they try to do it "professionally" ... which often means they overdo it. After all, what's the purpose of having eight cameras in the hall, if you don't switch between them? 😂

[@skullkap1]

I agree.

[@MauriceTituer]

I noticed a positive change the way Dice (live without audience) was filmed. Each takes is a bit longer and in bonus the musicians often react to the camera.

[@throwaway9389]

OMG so effing good! Vladimir--Happy New Year! I hope you get to a Band Maid show soon!

[@VladimirChupin]

Thanks! I also hope the Maids will come to our continent in 2024!

[@paulcrist7285]

April 1st 2022 came and went,was expecting more Miku'-po pure joy,:Cluppo,we still have moments like this intro and "Clang".🎶🎵🎀❤️

[@haggaisimon7748]

These girls r unbelievable

[@jumpingpeppers2263]

I've been looking at different fancams to suggest to a reaction channel. I think this might be the best one. Great audio, no blinding lights, balanced sound.

[@VladimirChupin]

Bochum videos do have a little bit of reverb, because I was in the middle of the hall. I like Hamburg recordings more.

[@jolietjake4605]

Love the tapping at the start. So talented.

[@stefanbranden4898]

Love this band!!! AAARRRGGHHH!!!!!!

[@joki5346]

It´s always the same with their new intros..."what´s that ? what are they playing ?" ...and then they burst into one of your favourite songs and it completely blows you away and you seem to burst, too.

[@ringderniebelung]

For MISA fans this footage is manna from heaven.....😲😜

[@VladimirChupin]

They removed all Misa/Kanami conversations from the show, except for this one...

[@TanuKart]

great song great performance amazing ladies

[@RobinC63]

Damn I love that song.

[@geraldz2271]

Just found this video - Thank you for posting - I will now watch this forever!

[@haggaisimon7748]

I wonder what will be the repertoire for this American tour in 2022? They introduced so many new gems. And I hope they will perform Puzzle. But this song needs to be played in large venues for acoustic should be great.

[@philipcable7518]

Rock perfection.............

[@VladimirChupin]

🤘🔥

[@nickwheeler403]

It's cute that Miku says she is a small pigeon and she is also a bit pigeon-toed.

[@VladimirChupin]

She is not, she just pretends to walk this way, because it's considered cute in the Japanese culture.

[@Frisbieinstein]

MISA: ultimate ebass tone. Like a bellowing dinosaur.

[@VladimirChupin]

In an interview, they called it "bass guitar sounding like your motorbike" :-)

[@Frisbieinstein]

@@VladimirChupin The BIG dog. Not the quick little Schnauzer lead guitar.

[@agusriyadi9692]

Misa misa misa😍😘😘

[@4freki]

Kanami is a lelight !

[@RobinC63]

It's too bad all the videos of Clang with really good audio keep getting taken down. Right now this is the best one.

[@VladimirChupin]

Really? I did not know that... I thought it's only Order, which is getting blocked. Actually, I thought that the Hamburg version is better in terms of sound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4iqpnWObNZjl6M But this one from Bochum is not bad as well, you're right. There is a little echo here, because I was standing in the middle of the hall, while in Hamburg I was right at a speaker.

oh damn!

[@VladimirChupin]

That's for sure, my friend! 😆

[@alexdenisov7912]

Спасибо, Володя)))

[@VladimirChupin]

Всегда пожалуйста :-) Альбом-то как их новый взлетел, а? Я лично видел, что он до 10-го места добрался в русском Google Play. Правда, сейчас я его вообще не вижу там, но это, может, потому, что я его купил, и Гугл решил, что незачем мне его теперь показывать...

[@alexdenisov7912]

Vladimir Chupin всё, что они делают, просто супер) Когда ютьюб предложил вдруг мне Thrill, я за первые 10 сек это понял)))

[@VladimirChupin]

@@alexdenisov7912 Ага, у меня тоже так и было всё. Ютьюб мне долго подсовывал этот белый квадратик справа, но я всё никак на него не нажимал, думал, фигня какая-то. Но обычно если какое-то предложение мелькает там справа достаточно долго, я на него жму, в конечном итоге, только чтобы уже отвязался всемогущий Гуглоинтеллект от меня 😂 И тут Thrill... С дробью басового барабана! С соло Мисы!!! Меня это всё сразило прямо в сердце, снесло мне крышу просто. Давай дальше их песни смотреть, и через час я уже лез на их страницу в Фейсбуке, разглядывал их расписание концертов и покупал билет в Амстердам...

[@VladimirChupin]

@@Michael-zp8fz Я вообще реально на BAND-MAID подсел, прямо одержимость какая-то у меня. Мне каждую ночь снится, что я с кем-нибудь из них разговариваю 😆 Прямо наркотик какой-то...

[@sms95501]

0:36 oops, tapping bass, delicious!

[@VladimirChupin]

I think MISA just decided to show the world that yes, she can tap! Although she never does it in songs.

[@sms95501]

She screwed up one tap there, at thirty six seconds. I love seeing these raw audience clips. Of course the downside is the audio is not as good as official releases, but you good sir have some way of getting among the best sound from the audience.

[@VladimirChupin]

@@sms95501 Yes, MISA was making a mistake at one point at all shows, and shaking her head at that. The fans argue, though, if it was done for the sake of showing off 😉

[@user-qz7nu3mm9r]

nice misa!

[@stevepopejoy6750]

That bass !!! Anybody here know what pickups she has in the Smoker ?

[@VladimirChupin]

"Misa, who supports the band’s bottom sound in a cool fashion, uses a Black Cloud Black Smoker Beta 5. Black Cloud, located in Omachi, Nagano, has a reputation for their guitars and basses with traditional designs and modern sounds and playability, and is popular among young Japanese players. She has two J-Bass style 5-string models. She liked the sound and playability of her first brown finish model of 2016, and she made a black finish model based on her image. Both have an ash body, a maple and titanium neck, a rosewood fingerboard, an original pickup, an active/passive switch, and a tension bar on the headstock to keep the string tension." www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/g3fzsk/interview_with_bandmaid_on_player_magazine/

[@VladimirChupin]

Black Smoker Beta-5 MISA: Misa’s main bass [note: J-Bass style] used in 14 songs from the middle to the end of the concert. Its balanced sound in all frequencies by the company’s original pickup contributed her tight rhythm. www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/gy3r8l/interview_with_miku_kobato_kanami_and_misa_on_the/

[@stevepopejoy6750]

Thank you for the info Vladimir the Smoker has a very distinct and powerful sound ,very like a Thunderbird. Im curious to know if its active. Combined with the Orange rig it certainly kicks ass 😀

[@stevepopejoy6750]

Sorry, just re read your description, yes it is active.😀
