Band Maid have the habit of doing the simple things in a complicated way and the complicated simply. They never over do anything and do enough and add enough to just compliment the song and make it as perfect as it can be. It is hard to appreciate how long they have been together and how good they are and how much they keep on evolving.

[@geoffb5]

Thank you. You and Mr. Mear were the two reactors who showed me the reasons why I loved Band-Maid so much. Their latest MV, the instrumental FROM NOW ON, which was also on the special edition CD+DVD/Blu-ray editions of their EP Unleash!!!!!, is, to me, a song where Kanami's guitar becomes the vocals.

[@freedompanda9438]

Your breakdown of the producer talking with the band was spot on. “And could you rap a little? Then, follow that up with a bass solo?” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 The girls are off the chain.

Chase, here’s one reason why I like your reactions, especially those to Band-Maid songs: I love to see you being surprised or impressed by a song or a part of it. And well, our maids always manage to do so. So one of my favourite phrases is „Band-Maid is doing Band-Maid things.“ - This is so true, and nothing (and nobody) could describe it better!

If you want, you could change your sign to say "Have a damn hunky dory day!" Yep, this is one song where the lyrics really are important for sure. And like many of their songs, it takes a lot more than one listen to fully appreciate. Chase and Band-Maid - a guaranteed good time! Thanks, Chase!

I vote for this suggestion. The sign must definitely be changed to "HAVE A HUNKY-DORY DAY"

Thanks, Chase, love your blend of analysis and humor! Speaking of blending, I think that is the secret sauce of what makes Band-Maid so special -- how they fuse together genres and styles so seamlessly together into something that is distinctly Band-Maid.

This video was filmed here: 石切山脈 . You can search for 石切山脈 in your maps. It's about 133 km north of Tokyo. It's the Ishikiri Mountains, one of the largest quarries in Japan. And thank you for another great Band-Maid reaction. It's really a fantastic song.

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う 💛。 Finally I could enjoy your analysis of this song. This MV was filmed at a famous and old stone quarry (Ishikiri-Sanmyaku) located in Ibaraki prefecture, north of Tokyo. Kanami, the lead guitarist, was very scared when she stood near the brink of the cliff but she could defy the fear once cameras started to capture her playing scene. [source : Gekirock News]. Saiki is singing "Hunky Dory" repeatedly. It sounds to me, an aged Japanese, a kind of word play or pun. This phrase is very close to Japanese expression "Honki (本気) Dori (or Tori 撮り)" that means 「本気」= serious, earnest, sincere" and 「撮り」= filming, recording, image capturing". This is cynically suitable 😄 to what influencers do, isn't it? In the rap part Saiki is also singing "Always that one-upping contest, chit-chat chit-chat". "Chit-chat" sounds like "chicchai ちっちゃい" in Japanese. That means "tiny, trivial, frivolous, worthless etc." Miku's lyrics includes a lot of word play and Miku admitted she did it on purpose in an interview [source : Spice Oct.7]. "Influencer" was premiered (live debut) flawlessly on Sep.7 at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo in Band-Maid's pre-US concert. Just so you know, I witnessed it at the venue ヽ(^o^)丿.

[@ganzrawr5334]

Hello Mr. Carnerson. I've made a similar comment on Akane's playing for your reaction to Wonderland. I have to point out that she does this thing that I hear NOBODY else do in which she tastefully and occasionally plays eigth note fills on naked crash cymbals ( no kick/ snare accompaniment) during a vocal break to bring in a chorus. Ive been playing for over 20 years and have listened to hundreds of drummers and thousands of songs and, at least in my experience, I have heard no other drummer utilize this as successfully as Akane. For this track she does it at the 1:39 mark or going into second chorus/ "everybody look". Just can't say enough how rare yet awesome of an approach to cymbal work this is. Keep up the great work!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

The Maids entire US tour was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last. It's truly been Hunky Dory Days for USA fans, that's for sure! A live Band-Maid experience is not to be missed, if at all possible! BRAVO Band-Maid!!!!! Thx, Chase!

[@ChaseCarneson]

Ooooh alright then

[@ernestnesbon]

When it comes to their instrumentals. For me, "Onset" has already been surpassed by "Dont Be Long" and "Without Holding Back". "From Now On" is epic and shows Kanami on another level, but WHB is still my number one.

[@SPERanger]

@@ernestnesbon I’ve always compared without holding back and don’t be long to onset always initially thinking I liked them more but later realizing it’s just cuz I heard onset 100s of times more and at the end of the day a better instrumental IMO. However “from now on”, there’s zero doubt that it’s my favorite instrumental

[@jkkansasband7056]

@@ernestnesbon lol. In the end it's all subjective anyway. But it makes for a fun squabble. ALL their instrumentals are great. And quite a few of their songs w/o vocals are pretty great also with Giovanni being my favorite.

[@ernestnesbon]

​@@jkkansasband7056 I wrote, for me. There's nothing wrong with choosing another song as a personal favorite. Isn't that a recurring theme with B-M songs in general? So many songs at a very high level and every song is someone's favorite.

[@cembor]

This song is absolutely brilliant on SOOOOOOO many levels it is crazy... not to mention the gorgeous visuals of the video and Saiki, when she's rapping just looks absolutely stunning. You owe it to yourself to go back and read the lyrics, Miku/Saiki really hit it out of the park with the lyrics. This song warrants a serious deep dive into it, if just personally for you, as there are, as you said, so many layers. The obvious standouts are MISA, Akane, Saiki, Miku, and Kanami... lol. Honestly though MISA's bass solo on this is GOD TIER and its even better live. As much studio production values as this track has it sounds just as big and even more raucous in the live setting. Saiki's vocals really carry this whole song... until Miku comes in with her LOOOOOOOOOVE.... jfc... I'm tearing up just remembering watching this on the US tour this fall (I was in front of MISA/Miku on the rail for the 4 shows I attended). There's so much I could write about this song and the more I listen to it to the more it grows on me... You also touched on Akane's drumming... go back and really pay attention to what she's doing and what she's not doing.. that second verse she's playing no snare for most of it then switches that same melody back to the snare just before the end, brilliant. And yeah, Miku's tone out of that Zemaitis really allows it to lay a base canvas for MISA who, let's be honest, is playing lead bass the entire song as well as Kanami to just go and paint noodley riffage all over the song. I honestly feel, the more I listen to it, that this is one of their best compositions all around...and that's a really high bar to meet as you well know. Have a damn, HUNKY DORY DAY Chase. :)

[@froopax1468]

Thanks for reaction! I love this band so much because they don't rest on their laurels, always trying something new and putting it into their songs. There are many fans who always want to have the same songs and style from them, I on the other hand find it so exciting to never know what the Maids will come up with again next time and still always immediately sound for me 100% like Band-Maid. Have a hunky dory day!

[@symphonysoup]

I have never found words in the two years ive been trying, words good enough of these girls. The amount of- everything. Everything they do. Relates and connects and resonates with my soul. Band-Maid has managed to prevent me from committing suicide two times in only 23 months. I owe Band-Maid my life; and then some.

[@symphonysoup]

-to add to the above statement, i really don’t like to bring up this time in my life anymore but when i was at my lowest, every time WITHOUT FAIL, that i had a suicidal thought, their song Carry On Living would play, not once or twice, but over a dozen times. Spot-on everytime. Like clockwork. Uo until one night i had a knife to my neck for almost an hour out of indecisiveness and was begging for a sign that this was a coincidence when Carry On Living played again, like it had been, but i wasnt convinced yet. About to slide the knife at the end of that song. I heard something i recognized. Carry On Living had managed to play Two times in a row. (On Spotify, this is already basically impossible. But even more so considering the song is only listed on the entire website catalog ONE TIME. Literally not possible.) It was a miracle. I thank Band-Maid and God every day that im no longer in that pit and my life has gone nowhere but up ever since. I can only hope they know how much they mean to me and many others.

[@phaeron]

Chase, no matter what a few may say, the majority of us will never get tired of you and your excellent and useful comments on what you hear. 😉The fact that you can 'dissect' songs in such a short time has always fascinated me, and your explanations have many times helped me understand what it is about some songs that has subconsciously intrigued me. And even though I already figured it out myself with this song, you confirmed it. 'Influencer' I think is a great song with its ultra catchy chorus and solo section. But what excites me the most is Akane's foundation on the drums. Like you said, the little details she puts in are something my ears always find interesting and impressive. Some may disagree with me on the following, but even though everyone has evolved tremendously in the last 2-3 years, for me Akane is the one who has emerged the strongest and most evolved from the Pandemic period (which for me started with the album 'Unseen World'). Closely followed by Kanami on guitar. I'm really looking forward to what you have to say about their latest MV to 'From Now On'. They teased this song earlier this year when they announced their latest EP and already then I was on fire for it. The full song has exceeded those high expectations by miles, and it is already one of the most played songs ever by these ladies, at least in my playlist. :) Until then and greetings from Germany. _____________________ 【 _Till I return to dust I will stand alone in the dark with my pride at the end of time_ 】--- *Nemophila* - '徒花 -Adabana-' 💮

[@Metal_Auditor]

I don’t know if you’ve listened to other music of theirs outside of reactions, but in the spirit of your request at the end of this video, I’d love to see your reaction to “Alone.” It was the first song released where they got all the writing credit. Also, “YOLO” is, in a way, their oldest song (despite being released in 2016), as it is based on a demo Kanami made before Band-Maid existed. “Daydreaming” is the song which Kanami says has her favorite guitar solo. All of these have official music videos for you to react to. And the acoustic version of “Sayonakidori” is an absolute gem. It says it’s only up on KZbin for a limited time, but it’s more than four months since they posted it.

[@philproffitt8363]

[@FatalisReigns]

I appreciate and enjoy that band-maid is trying to innovate on their sound/style while staying true to what we all love about their music. Its still a band-maid song, but theyre doing sooo many different things here that is amazing to hear. Then they release songs like "I'll" which is completely different and "HATE" which greatly contrasts both of these. Their newest EP is incredible and thankfully they just released their instrumental as a music video if you want to check it out!

[@barrygeistwhite3474]

Every once in a while it feels like BAND-MAID songs are *almost* too much, and it's entirely because each of these girls is so stupidly talented. In order to let all of them shine in any one song you either have to have a Dream Theater-esque 12-minute saga or just go for it and have it be just that little bit overwhelming. Also, where's my Saiki rap EP?!

[@bartyslattfast]

Chase, do this. It is a real peek into how much emotion Akane puts into her performance. "Endless story" was played at the end of their last show before the pandemic, Budokan was announced then lost, then two years of waiting to perform live. As they played this in Chicago, the last stop on the U.S.tour I think the challenges overcome, the crowd singing along, the triumph of finishing the tour with her friends all hit Akane and the joy that usually shows in a smile just overflowed and she played on; it was powerful and beautiful.

Can't wait for you to hear "from now on" instrumental. (MV just dropped) Kanami finally gives herself permission to show what she's capable of and we see inside her beautiful musical mind for the whole song. From now on (sic) we have to see her as one of the handful of really exceptional rock guitarists in the world, including the dead guys. Other gem - they say they love reactors and reactions and watch them all the time. So it's pretty much a dead cert that they know who you are and watch you watching them. Someone pointed this out and mentioned that you in particular, who have tough times, maybe need to know this. They almost never interact on social media, even their own accounts. But it doesn't mean they don't notice. They recognised several reactors during the American gigs. When someone mentioned all this I knew I wanted to tell you.

[@stevekane4922]

Location is a decommissioned granite quarry in the Ishikiri Mountains, Ibaraki from 1909 era that produces the "Inada" stone or "white lady" stone because of its white luster, strong and durable, like Band Maid, Po! Also, Japanese origin - "Honcho-dori" was the "Main Street" in Yokohama (same area Band Maid had their 2021 Christmas concert). Story say the American sailors, during the late 1800, were directed to follow this road back to the ship. Therefore, "easy street" to get back to the ship after liberty. Most likely pronounced by the sailors as "Hunky Dory."

Thankyou Chase :) So happy to see you do more Band-maid :) Ive missed how you can point out a lot of new stuff in their songs. I hope you also at least get to their new instrumental from this EP 'From now on' - they only just released the MV for it too! I still think in most cases its better to watch foreign music without subs so you can concentrate on the music- but if a song has particularly impactful lyrics that are maybe the main reason a song was a hit, then they should be on.. Like Hate on this EP- the lyrics are so viscious its kinda funny! Or like say Usseewa by Ado. Have you heard any Ado? She is an incredible young japanese singer- but its more about her voice than the instruments.. all the songs are so different but maybe you'd like 'Backlight'? That has some good instrumental stuff too.

It is alwasy amazing so see how bands try something new from now to then instead of doing the same thing for decades, at least I think so.

[@RahimRahmat]

Oh, I really missed your Band-Maid reactions Mr Carneson! Yeah....

[@ThouDailyBlab]

One of the few reactors to not get insecure about the lyric content :)

[@Aaronacer]

Thanks Chase. Have a hunky dory day!

[@jvp3640]

9:25 Chase, you are improving your skills, but you need to drop all the way out of your chair and on to the floor to be awarded the Mr Rock N Roll medal... 😂😂😂

[@bruceveary1758]

Their are sound reasons why you have (almost) 65 thousand subscribers. Band Maid for Life, and have a hunky-dory day!

This place is a huge Japanese quarry. I think this is probably a "Dig the rock!" message. There's a lot of rock here.

[@paulpetersen879]

My wife is always trying to help me find the guitouris..

[@haziqzyn8858]

Thank you for reaction Chase . I so impressed with you knowledge 🤟🤟. Keep it up sir !

[@killermonjero]

Life-long wanna be air drummer? Don't give up your dreams, Chase. I persevered and became a champion air tambourine player.

[@hectales]

BAND MAID release a new instrumental song called " from now on " you NEED to react to it 100000% you will more than like it ;)

[@gib666]

Thank you for this

[@Muzicman2112]

Just wait until you react to from now on by our Maids! The composition of this tune is masterful!

[@andrewcanuck6417]

Chase you're reactions are like Band-Maid's songs.........................never a disappointment! Just STOP apologizing for taking time for giving your commentary, it's the reason why I watch these videos. I like songs broken down and you do it very well.

[@philproffitt8363]

"Guitoris"...is that like 'the lost chord'...an UNFINDABLE guitar riff?? Of course a woman would find it ;-) Great reaction Chase.

[@JanickGers0]

I don't understand why people have mixed feelings towards this album in particular. Every song has something new and exciting and they're all bangers. You can't say that about 90% of bands these days, even the legendary ones. Also, love The Expanse! Amazing show!

[@MajorHattery]

The talent level in Band-Maid is insane, I feel like they have at least one "holy crap that's unreal" moment in every song they do. I love how Band-Maid is able to experiment and add a "rap" to one of their songs, but that it is still unmistakably still a Band-Maid song. Enjoyed your reaction to this song, your analysis always adds to my enjoyment of a song because you point out stuff I miss on my first listen(s). If you get a chance, I'm sure a bunch of us would be extremely interested in your thoughts on the new Metallica single that dropped out of nowhere.

[@davidcanty7903]

Band maid will lure Chase back! Hope they tour Europe soon.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! You have a "Da.... Hunky Dory Day" also!

[@Running-withscissors]

...and CHASE is Back on Maidiac radar LOL. Hope you and the fam' are doing well Chase and great to see this pop up on my YT notifications.

[@hoges412]

HAHDD? Sounds like something requiring medication! 😅 An entertaining and instructive breakdown Chase, which has helped me to better appreciate this track. The bass and guitar solos are the obvious attention grabbers, but some of the more subtle elements took a while to sink in.

[@normanordonez211]

Check out the new video from now on (instrumental) is really good song

[@SPERanger]

Sorry I have never stopped your video before the reaction but…Ty Franck??? Writer of the Expanse???? Band maid fan??? What????

[@cembor]

Yep, he's been gushing about our Maids on his Twitter account for months now. :)

[@ChaseCarneson]

Haha yup, he's a really nice guy and a big fan> We've had a lot of fun chatting about the brilliance of these girls!

[@stonefaction]

Just Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things....... ;-)

[@tmt7265]

Your reactions are great! Welcome back to Band Maid.

[@redj59]

Glad to have back. Thanks. BM doing BM things

[@usagi3919]

Nice entertaining reaction. very genuine. I guess my mind is not fully in the sewer because it took me awhile to get that very close reference to the female anatomy.
