Yes! Kanami, the lead guitarist, is Queen of the Hook Riff! And Miku, rhythm guitarist, is a wonderful lyricist who puts words and phrases into Saiki’s outstanding voice! I’m from the underground metal scene and I love both Babymetal and Band Maid. I got tired of feeling angry and violent and they make me very happy!💪🏻🤘🏻

Shadow John, I’m from Scottsdale, Arizona U.S.A. and just recently heard my first song from BANDMAID (Play)! I WAS BLOWN AWAY! I started listening to every song from BANDMAID I could download on the internet and have been REBORN when it comes to HARD ROCK! Many years ago, I remember driving around with my brother in his car and hearing THE BEATLES for the first time on the radio! We listened to “I Want To Hold Your Hand” which is probably their most popular and ICONIC song! Not since then have I ever been so unbelievably impressed with a Rock and Roll Band! Until now with BANDMAID! I’ve listened to around 40 of their songs and can say without question that they don’t have a Bad Song! They are all WINNERS in my mind with some being better than others but, all of them are AWESOME! I CAN’T SAY THAT ABOUT ANY OTHER BAND I HAVE EVER LISTENED TO! IT’S UNBELIEVABLE! What is even more impressive are their LIVE PERFORMANCES! I think they are better LIVE than in the STUDIO! I cannot say that about any other band! I can’t wait for them to make a “Western U.S.” concert swing so I can see them in person! THAT’S AT THE TOP OF MY “BUCKET LIST”! John, keep up the GREAT WORK and be well and be safe my friend!

Seriously, what more could you want from a rock song??!! This is the song that sealed the deal with Band Maid for me. This song made me go back to their whole catalog. The chorus is just spanking and yea the bass solo is really good, but when the lead solo kicks in, it is just super vibrant coming after the bass solo. Really kicked my ass. Just really great song writing. The drums are just ballistic and the outro is just so, so groovy that you just can't help loving it.

You've just scratched the surface on Misa's bass and Kanami's guitar solos, and just about every song has a great hook. These girls write and arrange the vast majority of their songs.

Kanami's solos are the best, not always the fastest, rarely technical show offs and never that long, but they always fit the song perfectly. If she only ever put in the "hardest" solos she could do I doubt they'd be as enjoyable for listeners. A good example being the solo in Bubble (released a few days ago), it's slow but it's really damn good.

She doesn't hog time with pointless shredding; she retains a melodic groove throughout. I love this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think of "groove" as an interplay of melody and rhythm--Band-Maid are groove masters! "Catchy" is all about "groove". Check out "Alone" for, what I think, so far, is their second best solo (I think you will like it VERY much), and maybe my favorite bass, for the whole song...delicious! "Daydreaming", a power-ballade, has the most captivating, even haunting melody, relentlessly playing on the rhythm...always makes my eyes wet...

Your reaction is about the same as mine when I ran across them a few months ago. Everything they do is pretty much amazing. If you want live, Play, Onset (instrumental), Moratorium. As an amateur drummer, I'm totally into the Bass and Drums. I've not had a drummer I felt inspired from for decades now. But Akane has me practicing instead of just kind of loosely playing along with my eDrums. I'm scoping out acoustics again and trying to figure out how i'm going to sound proof the music room and start jamming with people again. The whole band is amazing, but I'm really grateful for the drummer getting me off my old man's ass and working to get in shape enough to play double pedals.

I have long thought Kanami the best rock guitarist on the planet, not only her composition and arrangements but she never stops playing riffs throughout every song. Most leads 'rest' between solos playing just the minimum but Kanami never rests. How she does it is a miracle. They do 2 hour shows flat out - 20 to 23 songs all high voltage. They all have exceptional stamina. Misa plays bass like a lead and Arkane, part angel part gorilla, could probably run a marathon on her lunch break.
