[@TheMrWyn]

Q1: The reason why you started playing guitar Miku: I hadn't touched a guitar before starting B-M. When B-M was formed we wanted to add one more guitar for the balance, and we were unsure about who had to do it, me or Saiki, but Saiki was a bit hesitant so I decided to do it. Q2: The guitar you bought first? Miku: The guitar I bought first is a Rickenbacker 620 Q3: Why did you choose that guitar? M: I was told by the other members buy any guitar, when I went to the shop that Rickenbacker was shining there, the moment I saw it I thought this is the one, it was love at first sight. Q4: How many years have you been playing guitar? M: I started in 2014, so it's been 6 years. Q5: The first chord you played? M: Perhaps, a regular E... po. Q6: Things you struggled with when you started? M: Everything was difficult. Even the very idea of chords, like what is a chord? Q7: The first song you practiced? M: BAND-MAID's Bye My Tears Q8: How many hours did you practice every day. M: When I do more, up to 8 hours and more. I can't say for sure because there's times when I don't play much, but there's no day when I don't touch the guitar at all. Q9: Recommended practice method? M: for me the best way I recommend is, playing both with a tempo that's slightly faster than the one you wanna play, or slower. A personal method of mine is making a movie of myself playing and sending it to the other members for them to check. Q10: Who is your guitar teacher? M: It's Kanami-chan from my band. When there's a new song, she tells me play this part and I get the data first, then I play it by ear and I send it back to Kanami-chan, and she tells me something like 'this chord is this way!' and she teaches me, and so on. Q11: Who is a guitarist you admire? M: there's nobody in particular, but I think Miyavi is cool, I like his personal appearance when playing. Q12: The guitarist who is your goal M: I work hard with Kanami-chan being my goal. She is incredibly serious so she gets through each and every project accurately, and this is something I cannot do, so I really admire her. Q13: when you discovered Zemaitis M: Together with Kanami-chan, we were asked from Kanda Shokai if we would like to use their guitars, but she was already using a different guitar at the time, so we were wondering about what to do but when I was shown Zemaitis guitars I thought, how cool are these guitars po! And I decided to use them. Q14: The reason you chose Zemaitis M: I was attracted by the unique design and the beautiful form with its unique look, but it's also a sound that fits very well with B-M songs. Q15: How many years have you been with Zemaitis M: I started in 2016, so it's been 4 years po. Q16: the favorite points you suggest M: My favorite point is, more than everything, this characteristic shape with these fine carvings which are distinctive of Zemaitis Q17: any complaints about Zemaitis M: er... there's none po! Rather, I'm nothing but grateful for the fact you've been always too kind to me po! Q18: motivation for playing guitar? M: Okyuji are the biggest motivation. Having fun there singing and playing guitar, that's what makes me want to keep going Q19: your motto when you practice guitar? M: Humble and diligent work when I practice, and putting the most importance on having fun on stage, having fun playing guitar together with everyone at the okyuji Q20: differences between your sound compared to the beginning M: Well, I couldn't play in the beginning as much as I do now in the first place, so rather than the sound I was more worried about just making a sound... therefore compared to now I went from zero to, let's say, 60 percent? First I started from being able to actually play and gradually I began to pursue my own sound, I tried to increase the thickness of my sound with the greatest emphasis on trying to fit in the spaces between the sounds of the rest of the band. This hasn't changed much from the past, but recently the number of parts Kobato plays where I stand out a little have increased a bit, so I've increased the use of effects, and by trial and error - also in order to fit with the changes in sound and amplifiers from the rest of the band - I've tried to change my amplifier in such a way that my sound can emerge more in the front, since the gaps in the sound are constantly changing, based on what others do and I have to fit together. I also talk with the other members when it comes to creating my own sound, for example Kanami-chan might ask something like, since I'm a bit higher I'd like Kobato to have more sound in a certain low range. And when I buy new amplifiers I also ask Kanami-chan or Misa for advice. Q21: How many guitars do you currently have? M: For electric guitars, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and also the pearl one, so six. Acoustic, I have another one in addition to this so I have two. Then I have also the Rickenbacker I had at the beginning, and two travel guitars, so in total I have 11 po! (Q22: Please introduce each of the guitars you brought today)

This is in my Current Music playlist on YT because her voice is literally like music to my ears. That's one thing I realized I (subconsciously) love about the Japanese language, it' so melodic and sing-songy. The cadences, rhythms, inflections, and such make it such a delightful language to listen to.

[@mr559]

As how PRS's views count shot up when Kanami was there, the same thing has happened to KART having Miku here. B-M have truly come a long way.

I recognize this beautiful acoustic guitar from the BAND MAID performance of "SMILE"

[@ryuujin1044]

Miku is so cool surrounded by so many guitars, I would like to have the willingness she had to learn to play an instrument, I think it is something that needs a lot of focus from one hour to the next, even more at the beginning of a band as she did and still sing while playing, and even though she doesn’t become the greatest guitarist of all time, she has developed her talent for more things, like songwriting and promotional entertainment with the public, Miku Kobato is a very admirable woman!

I can't speak or understand a single word of Japanese. But she has my full attention for 22 minutes and 34 seconds. How does she do that lol? Respect and all the best whishes for this strong and pleasant lady.

Same happened and happens to me every time I hear Miku speak, I will listen thru it all and not understand much if any. I watched her Omajinai Time and may have got spellbound that way, I belong to the small pidgeon now, po Kuruppo

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I swear, those guitars fit her. My fav is the one with the skull in the Ace of Spades.

[@hawkbrand7]

Translations of later half. 22. Please introduce each of the guitars you brought today My main guitar now. [CS24MF ACES & EIGHTS Black] Tuning is regular. I like the cool sounds but the balance is also very good. The middle and higher sounds come out balanced and has a good combination with the other instruments. My sub guitar. [CS24MF FR4C Black] I use it most on a half tone down tuning. It's the closest sounding to my main guitar. And I use it as I would use my main guitar. This disc front. [A24DF 2H BUCCANEER ISLAND] I have used it a couple times during a service. It sounds more rounded or warm. It only fits a few BAND-MAID songs so I have not been using it recently, but personally I like it a lot. I love the matt black color and have been using this guitar for practice at home. -Shredding- [MFGV22 BK Gloss Black] The shape of this guitar is great. The sound when compared to other metal fronted guitars, the higher sounds sound distinct and showy, high and middle sounds come out better than the lower end. So it fits songs where cutting is used, In BAND-MAID songs like [Rinne]. Compared to other guitar makers flying Vs it's compact and easy to play. The guitar weight is also just right for me, and easy to use. -Playing- [MFG24 BK Gloss Black] A new guitar and I haven't used it yet at a service. So this is the first time that I introduce this one. It's a USA produce custome metal front. The design is a little different and the color also is in a sparkling gloss finish. -Strumming- [AAS-3000HW] This is also another new guitar. I have another acoustic guitar that I have been using at services but I recently received this new one. I have't used it at a service and I have not been using it heavily yet. But when I played it a bit now it sounded nice like this. I am looking forward in seeing how this one will perform at a service. I will work on it. First I need to make friends with it. 23. What is the difference between the main and sub guitar? With the tuning. Depending upon the song the tuning would be half tone down or regular. So I change guitars to fit the song. 24. Why did you start playing the [MFGV22 BK Gloss Black] I was contacted by Kanda Shokai(The guitar maker) when they started making this model and they asked me if I would like to use it. And I answered I was honored and would like to use it if it was alright with them. Actually I had a prejudice against V shaped guitars. Thought they were scary. If I held one, wouldn't it look as the guitar was holding me or could I sound it out properly. But when I first held a Zemaitis V, I thought is was compact compared to the usual, easy to hold and fit my body. It was cute and cool, and the sound also had the Zemaitis traits but could also be used to shred. The higher tones come out solid. 25. If only using one guitar on stage which one? I would use my skull baby. [CS24MF ACES & EIGHTS Black] The sound I look for come out naturally in this, also it fits with the sounds of the other members best. 26. What was your first impression in using an acoustic guitar? I had never played an acoustic either until I joined BAND-MAID. So I was surprised that there were so many models of acoustic guitars just in Zemaitis. And I only had the image that acoustic guitars were big. The guitars that I have been loaned from Zemaitis are compact but still sound solid and good, beautiful. 27. Do you name your guitars? Not really. But I call them this boy or that boy. To separate them I would say this one is the skull, that is the leaf, V, disk front, and then the pearl. 28. Would you like to make a signature model? YESS! I would love to. Please call on me. Some thing that is like me, a pigeon is a must. 29. What Amplifier and effector do you use. For the amp I use EVH-5150(White) for effector I use the Line 6 helix now. In the effector I use the EVH amp settings and drop function. 30. What pick do you use? I use this original pick I designed that Zemaitis has made for me. A rounded triangle width 0.8. 31. What are your guitar string strings? The Ernie Ball 10-46. 32. Do you hate the guitar at times? There were a lot of times I hated the guitar. I couldn't play it, and then in the beginning my fingers hurt so bad. But as I continually practiced especially around the time I started using the Zemaitis guitars it became fun to me. 33. If you were to present a guitar to members? I am not sure if the members would be delighted by a present from me, but here goes. For Saiki as she like sparkling things and the chrome heart, I think a glossy and black guitar would fit her. So a pearl, a black pearl guitar. For Kanami, as she likes Hotei, I think a guitar that Hotei uses would be a good choice. For Misa, as she likes things with character, a wood grained 7 string guitar. Some thing that's different. Last for Akane, as she looks good in red, and as she has red drums, some guitar with the same color an idol like Telecaster? 34. If you are to be presented a guitar, what would you like? Some guitar shaped like a pigeon? Something fun. 35. What is your first band experience? My first is BAND-MAID. 36. Any instrument you have played other than the guitar? When I was small for 3 months the piano. I wanted to become able to read musical scores, but I hated practicing so much on recital day I said to the teacher I quit. In elementary school I played the bass accordion. 37. Any other instruments you would like to challenge? To get a better rhythm, the drums just a little. 38. If you were to make a solo band, the members and the band name? If I were to make a dream band. I feel pressured to say this guitar: Takuro from Glay bass guitar: Kameda drum: Boba or Sakiyama from Spitz Name: Ko-band, as this is Kobato's band or Pogeon (pigeon + kuruppo) 39. Last, advice to beginning guitar players. Buy a guitar that you love, as I start from the forms. If you have a guitar that you love you are motivated. If you are to practice, start with the Kobato parts in BAND-MAID. As I play chords or reasonably easy backing parts. For a song in BAND-MAID I would recommend [Real Existence]. Can mostly be done with a single left hand finger and it's good practice of the bridge mute with a tempo of 180. Thank you very much.

Zemaitis guitars is a right choice for Miku, It's fit well in her character as she loves "kawaii" things and blend well on her dress, since Zemaitis used only two tone color, silver and black and Miku's two tone dress of black and white.

When I think of Miku Kobato forming Band Maid -- I think of Nikki Sixx forming Motley Crue. He could not play an instrument, but he had a vision of the type of band he wanted to put together -- each member became iconic with their own personality. The rest is history. With Band Maid, Miku could not play an instrument, but she had a vision of the type of rock band she wanted to put together... The rest is history. BTW -- my Chronic Band-Maid Disorder brought me here.

I once read, that Band Maid started, and they said, they did not know what they were getting into at all. Like, not at all...

I translated the Japanese comment into English using Google Translate. The video was made three years ago, so there are still quite a few comments from that time that are irritated by MIKU's "po" language. I've been a fan since last year, so I found it a bit annoying at first, but after reading a lot of feature magazines and interview articles online, I now think it was an inevitable style for MIKU, and it doesn't bother me anymore. Naturally, overseas fans don't care about the "Po" word at all, so they can clearly see MIKU's true nature, and there are a lot of appropriate comments about her intelligence, talent, and wonderful personality. By the way, when did MIKU start using the "po" word? I think he was speaking normally when he went to his current agency a few months after leaving the underground idol group Lil' Cumin, but there are no testimonies from that time. There is a famous episode where he didn't let SAIKI meet him until the last minute because he was afraid that he would be avoided because his character was too strong, but I guess he was already fully developing his small pigeon character at that time. However, in any case, without MIKU's character as a comedian, BAND-MAID might have become a strange and uninteresting band. She says that MIKU is considered the most dangerous among the members, but it is clear that she is actually an ordinary, intelligent woman who can speak the right way. . MIKU appears on all kinds of variety shows on TV to promote her, and I'm impressed by how all the comedians she co-stars with are very decent and have appropriate conversations, except for the constant use of "po" words. Regarding the members of BAND-MAID, SAIKI laughed and said in an interview that "all of them are weird," but her correct answer is that everyone except MIKU is weird. Perhaps MIKU noticed the unrestrained behavior of the other four unique characters, such as being too natural or too shy, and consciously became a "po person" in order to create a strange character that would not succumb to them. I think so. The concept of the gap between maid costumes and hard rock has now firmly captured the hearts of fans due to the unexpected effect of creating a gap between cool music and performances and Playoff's lovable strange characters, It is clear that MIKU's comical MC was the reason for this. The members and fans felt a sense of relief when MIKU left the stage and returned to the role of Super Daradara MC, which was performed by SAIKI and 4 other members, as a waitperson at the Garden Theater. I think many people recognized this. BAND-MAID is a unique group whose five members are equally recognized by their fans for their names, talents, and characters, and I can't think of any other band like this other than the Beatles. Their band, which is known for being extremely close, is a community that is more than a family, and at the same time, when it comes to music-making, it is a kind of republic that does not need a prominent leader because each individual fulfills their talents, roles, and responsibilities. . Unlike BAND, which is a kingdom that is fragile due to competing talents and wills, BAND-MAID is a republic where everyone supports each other, and this is why BAND-MAID has a strong unity. I think it would be fair to say that he was the ``core'' rather than the center of the band, which has maintained an exquisite balance, and he had the will to maintain the concept that MIKU has had since its founding, and the inclusiveness that allowed him to accept anything. ​

3年前の動画なので、その頃はまだMIKUの「ぽ」語にいらつくコメントが少なくないですね。私も昨年からのファンなので最初はちょっと煩わしいと感じていましたが、特集雑誌やネットのインタビュー記事を見まくって今ではMIKUにとっては必然のスタイルだったと思うようになり気にならなくなりました。海外のファンは当然ながら｢ぽ」語が全く気にならないのでMIKUの本質がよく見えていて聡明さと才能と人格の素晴らしさへの適切なコメントが多いですね。 それにしてもMIKUはいつから｢ぽ｣語を使うようになったのでしょうか。 地下アイドルグループ、リルクミンを脱退して数ヶ月で今の事務所へ売り込みにいった時点ではまだ普通の話し方だったように思うのですが、その頃の証言は出てないですね。キャラが濃すぎて敬遠されることを恐れてSAIKIには直前まで会わせなかったというエピソードは有名ですがその頃はすでにsmall pigeonキャラを全開していたんでしょうか。 ただ、いずれにしても結果的にMIKUのコメディアンヌとしてのキャラがなければBAND-MAIDは面白みのない変なBANDになっていたかもしれません。MIKUはメンバーの中で一番やばいやつと思われている、とか自分で言っていますが、本当は一番まともな言葉使いができる普通の聡明な女性であることは明らかです。MIKUは宣伝のためテレビのあらゆるバラエティー番組に出ていますが、共演したお笑い芸人は皆、｢ぽ」語の連発を除けばすごくまともで適切な話をすることに感心しています。BAND-MAIDのメンバーについてSAIKIが何かのインタビューで「全員、変」と笑いながら示していましたが、本当はMIKU以外全員変というのが正解でしょう。 おそらくMIKUは他の4人の特異なキャラクター、天然すぎることや人見知り過ぎることから来る奔放な振る舞いに気づいて、それに負けない変なキャラクターを意識的に作るために「ポの人｣になりきってきたように思います。メイド服とハードロックのギャップというコンセプトは、カッコよすぎる音楽や演奏とプレイオフの愛すべき変なキャラクターとのギャップという予想外の効果で今やファンの心をしっかり掴んでいますが、それを引き出したのはMIKUのコミカルなMCの力であることは明らかです。ガーデンシアターでのお給仕で珍しくMIKUが舞台から去ってSAIKI他の4人で務めたスーパーだらだらMCにMIKUが戻ってきたときのメンバーとファンのホッとした感じで、改めてMIKUのBANDにおける存在感を認識した人は多かったのではないでしょうか。 BAND-MAIDはメンバー5人の名前と才能とキャラクターを等しくファンに認識されている特異なグループでこんなBANDはビートルズ以外思いつきません。仲がよすぎることで知られる彼女たちのBANDは家族以上のコミュニティであると同時に、音楽作りに関しては一人一人の才能と役割と責任を果たすために突出したリーダーを必要としない一種の共和国なのですね。才能や意志の競合で壊れやすい王国としてのBANDとは違い、全員で支え合う共和国としてのBAND-MAIDの結束が堅い理由です。絶妙のバランスを維持してきたBANDの中心と言うより「芯」としてMIKUの創設以来のコンセプト維持の意志と何でも認めてしまう包容力があった、と言っていいのではないでしょうか。
