I’ve been riding along with you for all your Band Maid stuff; and after reacting to both World Domination and Unseen World? Meh. That’s pretty much it. Band Maid doesn’t have any other good songs… 😂 Time for some progressive post hardcore Maid magic! 1) Blooming OMV 2) Bubble OMV 3) Wonderland (Saiki at her best, live of course) 4) Onset, instrumental live After that? You’re about halfway through their hits 🤘🏽

[@JuanSan66]

Where to go from now on? Well, you still don't know her "Maiko" side, right? They have two videos on their official YT channel, Secret Maiko Lips and Gioncho. If you are interested in what they do then you can continue with their Band Maiko EP. A clue, to understand how Band Maid transitions to Band Maiko you can listen to their song Secret My Lips and then Secret Maiko Lips. Surprise and fun will be guaranteed.

Miku's vocal part sounds more pop, or punk. Her low voice is kind of froggy and she can jump from the bass range to high range quickly. Miku's head voice in acoustic Sayonakidori is beautiful. You should definitely check out Christmas acoustic concert. I usually prefer Saiki's vocal as it suits the kind of music Band-Maid play, but Miku also has a equally powerful, gorgeous voice.

Do yourself a favor, find the Turn Me On live from Zepp Tokyo or Studio Coast. Mincho/MISA🔥🔥🔥

Akane is one of the most versatile, melodic and creative drummers. You can't imagine when and how the change ups coming. It takes many takes for experienced drummers to nail her part, but any drummers who try to learn her part will become so much better a drummer. There are many drummers who can beat faster with just as many tricks as Akane but her style is something else. It's music in its own.😊 Wish you a happy new year.🎉

[@VladimirChupin]

Different was really a nice bonus 🙂 It's from a single "Different," so, you would probably climb to that one in a pretty distant future. By the way, the second track on that single is "Don't be long," my favourite instrumental from them. I think it's one of the best tunes Kanami ever composed. Damn, it's past midnight here, and I'm still exhausted after my yesterday's bicycle trip... But I had to watch your reaction, there was no option to postpone it. And I'm glad I did. BAND-MAID gives me so much energy-the same as to you, as I can see. So, you want to play drums again? That has happened already with so many people who abandoned their instruments. But when they heard BAND-MAID, they were inspired to pick them up again and found a new joy in it. Maybe you'll get a call soon from an American version of Miku, who will say that she has a band for you to join? And you'll form a fantastic band, and become billionaires? Nothing is impossible under the wings of Kuruppo...

Man, wouldn't that be the dream... I would totally do it too. I miss playing music. It was my outlet. Now I have these videos and the channel. . And it's great. But just being able to create something out of nothing is so special and sacred to me. I need to buy back my missing pieces of my kit and start playing again

[@L33Reacts]

I'm glad your trip went well! I'm glad you got to watch the video as well. You are seriously the best my friend. I wish you all the best forever ❤️

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Happy Christmas to the man who gave us the most complete B-M fan cam concert catalogue in history....Yes that's you Vladimir. Arigato my friend.🤗

[@Bodneyblue]

Nice to know your a cycle fan Vlad...I to am (was) a keen cyclist...But circumstances means I have kind of given up. But used to ride a tandem with my late partner as a means of getting to and from work.

[@VladimirChupin]

​@@BodneyblueCool! Bicycle is a great thing. Walking is too difficult for me, my back starts hurting rather quickly. Running I didn't do for a long time, but I guess my right knee would probably not be happy with it. But bicycling is OK, I can do pretty long excursions and in the end just feel tired, no damage is done.

[@russellpotter7294]

It is a CD I seem to play every day. It is such a great album. Such variation with the usual solo performances that we expect will just stand out. I gave up a long time ago at trying to find a best track or album because it really changes all the time. A band that is just so comforting to listen to because you just know you will never be disappointed.

[@L33Reacts]

Dude I'm gonna play the shit out of this album... I can already tell. It's just so damn good 👍 😌 thank you for watching my friend 😀

[@kerrylewis7964]

Thanks for doing the whole album. My favorite 3 bands Yes, Pink Floyd, Band Maid. So it does matter with these bands sit back and listen to every track. PEACE

[@Jonas_S_]

My favorite B-M album to this date. It has everything! Bone shaking riffs, sultry slow songs, ripping solos... 😍🤘

[@L33Reacts]

Dude you ain't kidding Jonas. This album has EVERYTHING you might want as maid fan.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

....And a very merry Christmas to Jonas from me. 🎅 "PO, PO, PO" :)

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I get psychogenic shivers with nearly every Band-Maid song. It’s like a music-drug they fiendishly inject into their music to keep you addicted… in a good way, of course. 🤘😝🤙 Thx, L33!

[@JuanSan66]

"Even when there´s no much happening there´s so much happening". That is!, great quote sir. That´s the extra ingredient, one of the pieces of their magic formula. Good job!

[@TehPhysics]

"HOLY " - 32:26 Yeah, that pretty well sums it up.

[@L33Reacts]

LOL right? What else can you say?? Lol

[@philipcable437]

Unseen world is the next step up in terms of complexity

[@LawrenceCox-bv9zt]

Thank you so much for sharing your reaction to such a wonderful album. DAYDREAMING grips me big time with Kanami's solo sending me over the top (tears from the soul many times). I look forward to your future reactions.

[@jkkansasband7056]

Thanks Lee for reacting to the entire album. And hahaha DAYDREAMING was never hiding. Just needed to be discovered. Kanami's powerful solo always leaves me weak. And leaves me reaching for the replay button. So many more Awesome gems to discover. That is the FUN part. You think there can't be more phenomenal and impressive songs to explore but there is!!!!! I'll just tag along for the ride. Peace. 7.44

[@L33Reacts]

You are so welcome bro! I absolutely loved this. Like I always say these ladies are an absolute oasis in a desert of monetized mediocrity. I can't get enough of them and yall wonderful fans are just something else 😊💪

[@neilyamashita4348]

Your one of a couple of reactors that reacts to my favorite bandmaid album! I freaking love it and your reaction Lee!❤ My 2nd favorite bandmaid album is just bring it if you get a chance?😉👍🤘🤘Maidiac 4 life!🤩🤩

[@geoffb5]

During the Covid shutdowns the Japanese government would subsidize artists making of videos, but they had to be over 6 minutes long. So Band-Maid did two double song videos. Dice/Different and Manners/Black Hole to qualify for the subsidy. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@jsellitto]

Never apologize about adding too many Band-Maid songs

[@L33Reacts]

Hahaha your so right. It's a bonus :)

[@jsellitto]

@@L33ReactsI've listened to all the Band-Maid albums from start to finish many times over, and I still can't decide which one is my favorite. Just like my top 10 Band-Maid songs is about 50 songs long. It's impossible for me to decide

[@MusicMike747]

“World Domination” Band Maid’s “Back in Black.” Hit after hit after hit on a fresh sounding album with a brand new logo…kicking open brand new gate. One big difference is that, unlike the other rock band, the Maids brought so much versatility and variety that you can listen to the entire album without once being bored. I concede that they may never get widespread mainstream success. But not because of Band Maid. Widespread mainstream music is just too shallow and predictable. The antithesis of the Maids.

[@septimusseverus7237]

Kanami’s solo in Anemone is Vaughanesque.

[@L33Reacts]

She absolutely destroyed that. And was out like she never was there in the first place. Her timing and technique is exquisite.

[@MusicMike747]

@@L33ReactsAfter recording the solo, Kanami reportedly said, “Who needs friends when you have anemone?” (Probably)😏

[@grahamreed8774]

They album proved that Kanami was the best rock guitarist when this came out. This album was really the culmination of everything that had gone before 2018. Followed by a sort of bridging album in Conqueror, before Covid in 2019. Then from the mists of Covid in 2021we get totally monstrous and brilliant Unseen World- not immediately every fan's fave, but now the genius is recognised. The rhythm section has the tallest members in the band- Misa 5'7" and Akane 5'6". All the others are between 5'1" and 5'4". And lastly, if you get this far- Different was a non album single in 2020 plus Don't Be Long and a shorter version of Different.

[@evilducks3710]

I think for the next album there are 3 fun ways to go. 1. Conquer. This was them dipping their toes into the progressive rock world, and as per Band Maid, they kill it. Tons of good variety. 2. Acoustic Christmas. You enjoyed the acoustic you ran into, they did a whole acoustic set that’s great and mixes up some songs you already know. 3. Band Maiko. The April fools joke that proved so popular they made a whole EP out of it. Their alter egos are gorgeous and amazing.

[@L33Reacts]

They have a Christmas live show??? I need that!

[@chrisbergsten1429]

@@L33Reacts The Xmas acoustic concert is insanely good. You won't find it on KZbin/Spotify/etc though - they only sell the CD to fanclub members and they never released the video on physical media.

[@joebarrera9741]

Such Amazing Music By Such An Elite Band

[@paulpetersen879]

These girls are just fantastic

[@airlinesecret6725]

'Only BAND-MAID' PO !

[@chrisbergsten1429]

Daydreaming is arguably one of their best songs - lots of fans would put in their top 10 or whatever. IIRC Kanami spent a lot of time on it and it was the song she was most proud of for a long time. According to interviews, the music that would eventually become Different was first written in the World Domination days, making it an appropriate accidental bonus. And yeah, that performance was during COVID. Akane really is a ridiculously good drummer. I mean, all the girls are great, and I can certainly see why MISA and Kanami have their fans, but Akane's the one most likely to make me say "holy shit!" repeatedly.

[@L33Reacts]

It's my new favorite maid song hands down! It was absolutely beautiful. I love them so much lol

[@kevenbridges9433]

If any band today can be called progressive it tis Band Maid. No one is writing songs like them.Differant was used as the opening theme song for the third season of the anime Log Horizon

[@L33Reacts]

You are so right bro... they are definitely prog. Haha

[@TlanImass]

One of the surprises, I thought, was the Acoustic version of Anemone. Next time! It's fantastic as well. It's just Saiki-san and Kanami-san singing in the acoustic.

[@L33Reacts]

Oh man I will have to check that out. That sounds amazing. Thank you!

[@ranger_a6953]

lol @ 25:20 It's a single anyway, so here is as good a place as any. It sure is an amazing contrast in style though. They advanced a lot in that short few years. You might want to look up the original MUCC song. It's good, but much more raw. IMO, this version is a definite improvement.

[@L33Reacts]

Hahah right that surprised me. Oh well, I know yall aren't complaining at another song:) I enjoyed it. I will check out that original mucc song.

[@topographic1973ify]
