Kanami created a melodic, quite sing-able phrase that she returns to in this instrumental. Her note choices are all intentional and lyrical. I have a theory that she writes Miku’s parts as the left hand of the piano while she plays the right.

[@HaroMatsuRestarted]

This song was originally created for Miku by Kanami; for Miku to practice some guitar techniques that was needed for her to perform the song Different live. Also, Don’t Be Long became to be included as B-side for the Different single.

"About us"! Seriously. You need the feels from the Maids.

[@Kenji_Onoda]

At first listen, this song sounds like a straight instrumental rock song, but it has a strange floating feeling to it. I think this is due to the use of diminished chords, which are also used in "Different". The addition of this chord, which is neither major nor minor, adds tension and depth to the song. Incidentally, this chord is also used in Larry Carlton's "Room 335," a favorite of Kanami's.

Kanami has said during past interviews that she plays all of the lead and rhythm guitar parts on the studio albums. She then teaches them to Miku for the live shows (okyuji). I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Miku has played at least some of the rhythm guitar parts on the most recent albums or albums yet to come.

As far as their instrumentals go: The Conqueror limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room) came with: - Domination (Instrumental Video) - Dice (Instrumental Video) - Onset (Instrumental Video, originally an instrumental) Unseen World limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room): - After Life (Instrumental Video) - No God (Instrumental Video) - Giovanni (Instrumental Video) - Without Holding Back (Instrumental Video, originally an instrumental) Unleash limited edition DVD/Blu-ray editions (white room): - Unleash!!!!! (Instrumental Music Video) - Sense (Instrumental Music Video) - From Now On (MV - black room, originally an instrumental) And as far as audio instrumental versions goes: - The Yolo EP/single came with an instrumental version of Yolo - The official scorebook of Unseen World came with a full instrumental CD of the standard version of Unseen World (13 tracks in total) - Don't be Long released as a B-side of the "Different" single (originally an instrumental). - Onset was never officially released (only live) although there was a special set you could buy with the Bubble and Glory singles that had a limited CD with 3 tracks which included a studio version of Onset (originally an instrumental). I am still not sure if this was only in specific stores or what, I didn't know Band-Maid yet when those released, but I have seen pictures so I know it existed. - Without Holding Back released on the Unseen World album (originally an instrumental). Extra: - Miku did a short video during the pandemic to show people how to best wash your hands. It's known as Hard Wash, although I am not sure where that comes from. You can find it by searching for "Miku Kobato Teach How To Wash Hand". I don't know for sure if Band-Maid created the music for this, but they might have and it's fun to check out regardless. Fun fact, other Japanese bands have done similar videos around that time, like Tomo-zo from Gacharic Spin. - There is also an instrumental bootleg track floating around known as "Go nuts" which was recorded during a soundcheck (I believe) by Band-Maid years ago in Japan. It's hard to find, but once you listen to it you can hear parts of it in some of the instrumentals they released later on. The Unleash limited edition has "From Now On" in a black room like mentioned above, they published that one on their channel as the MV for "From Now On". All the DVD/Blu-ray instrumental videos have multiple camera angles, one for the whole band which cuts between the members and one for each member. The audio instrumentals obviously don't have a video. As a bonus, Play apparently was supposed to be an instrumental, but Saiki loved it so much that she asked Miku to write lyrics and made it what it is today.

Another great analysis. Thank you Princess NittPicc. As for Kanami and Miku, usually Kanami is panned to the right and Miku to the left or center-left. But as others have mentioned, for studio versions, Kanami usually plays both parts, especially on the older stuff. Live, you can see Miku holding her own. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

[@greylocke100]

Welcome to one of my MOST FAVORITE Band-Maid songs. And as you noticed (later) each instrumentalist was featured in the beginning. If you have to opportunity to watch any of the FanCams of the entrance of the Ladies to their concerts, you will hear the SE music. At first they used "The Maid's Waltz" that had been arranged by Kanami. Then Kanami wrote a new piece that changes. But as the Ladies enter the stage, their instrument is highlighted in the track. (Except for Saiki as she walks on where it EVERYTHING) And there is an edited version of this song with a 3rd guitar during the "solo" . I don't know if it is a fan edit or a Kanami edit, but I am trying to find that version again, as it makes an excellent song even greater. I personally would LOVE the opportunity to sit down with Kanami and a translator who was also a musician for translating the musical clues properly, and just ask her 1000 questions or so on her writing process. As for other "Instrumentals" there are official ones where Saiki's vocal track were removed or not added. Then there are unofficial ones where software was used to remove the vocal track.

[@TherealSeriousMoonlight]

"where they actually just removed Saiki"... Like "Giovanni", or the fan-favorite "Giovanni". Also "Giovanni" would be a great pick from that category. For real face-melting, probably "Giovanni".... Thanks for the reaction!

What's amazing about BAND-MAID is that even if you remove the vocal melodies from their songs, they still stand as instrumental songs. And there's another new discovery. You can't really understand a BAND-MAID song unless you listen to it five times, paying close attention to each instrument. AKANE never overdoes it in order to stand out. But while she plays uniquely, her drumming fits perfectly with any song. She could play in any band without feeling out of place. (Of course, I don't want that to happen.) It's easy to see why Jimmy Page liked her playing.

[@GaijinPaul]

Except then one needs to listen to each pair of instruments since they weave in and out of each other! Even Miku's part on good 'ol Domination is more complicated than I thought but it takes a white room or BM Prime video to catch it easily.

[@HolyBaldWonder]

This is the "flip-side" for the Different single and hasn't been on any album. Way to go finding the more obscure tracks.

[@stevehall5128]

Yep, brilliant appreciation of how Kanami took advantage of Miku being a novice to let Miku be the foundation to free up MISA. The solo section in "Domination" live at Shibuya literally explains it: #1: Yes, this is not what you'd expect: our bassist is amazing and can take the spotlight, but - #2 - our lead guitarist is also bad- ass, but ALSO #3 our rhythm guitarist is bad-ass too and makes #1 and #2 possible, and #4 we'll remind you that our drummer is also bad- ass and has been showing it all through #1, #2, and #3.

Out of the instrumental versions of songs that normally have vocals, the one I'd most recommend is Giovanni. A lot of people even prefer it to the full version, because it's a very proggy song with a lot going on, even by Band-Maid standards.

There may be a white room video of this song (I am not aware of one) but nothing official was ever released to the general public as far as I know ... just some odd fan cams. This was an Etude for Miku to help prepare her for Different. Different is discussed quite a bit because I think during that era of interviews Kanami discusses the fact that she plays MIKUs parts in the studio for nearly all the recorded music, but MIKU had to learn this anyway to play it live. I think they named the song "Don't be Long" knowing we would all wish it would have been longer ;) .

I don't think it's part of the White Room Tutorial Series, because I've never seen a video for this. I don't think there is one, hence the collage. But when Kanami give Akane and MISA a demo it's pretty complete. Akane will change the drum part so it can be played by a human, or at least a Superhuman, like herself. MISA writes her part on piano. The reason is she doesn't want her parts to get stuck in a Bass Player's rut. As for Miku, her being the least experienced player, Kanami writes and records her parts for her. Then she teaches her how to play it, for the videos as LIVE performances. Check out the Instrumental Maid channel.

IMO, the best video for this is a fancam from their Gramercy Theater show. The video focuses on Miku so you get to watch her rocking out and of course she's adorable. I can't unsee that video whenever I hear this piece. There are approximately five "real" instrumentals that aren't just no-vocals versions: Onset, Go Nuts, Without Holding Back, Don't Be Long, and From Now On. (edit: I forgot there's a sixth one: a cover of Dawn Winery Theme from the Genshin Impact soundtrack.) I say approximately because there are a few others that aren't really full instrumental songs: a demo called Want More that was played on on a livestream but never got fully produced, a short piece for a handwashing PSA called Hard Wash, and then all of their various bits of entrance music for concerts. Go Nuts never got any official release IIRC, just radio play (it was actually written for a radio show). Honorable mention goes to Play, which was supposed to be an instrumental, but Saiki liked it so much she asked for vocals. All the other instrumentals are vocal songs with the vocals stripped out. IMO they're more interesting than essential, although a lot of people swear by the instrumental version of Giovanni, since Saiki's vocals overlap Kanami's constant shredding otherwise.

And then there is the rest of the band... You play guitar... no.. you only think you do until you see this. Then you realize you have no clue what a guitar even is. (I played in a band signed by Geffen in 1991, I feel ashamed of how bad I was at guitar (I was the singer but still))
