Band Maid Onset ( Live ) Reaction

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

When I found Band-Maid three years ago, I was all about MISA. Then, I watched Kanami close her eyes and tilt her head back and go somewhere else and shred. Then I see Akane smile while she drums her heart out and Miku goes "Po". And Saiki...well Saiki kills it with her voice. I love all of them!

[@hopsmetalshow3413]

yea they are awesome

[@fastskipper777]

Yes, Misa is very popular due to her "mysterious" gothic image and her stellar bass playing. And she is beautiful. But, I would say all the members are equally loved in this band unlike other "more known" bands in the world. That's what I love about them. No one member tries to take the center stage on this band. They are all team players. They all try to give equal time to each member.

[@sacluvsBM]

@@hopsmetalshow3413 yes we do but he forgot to mention the glue that puts this all together. These ladies are friends. Fast friends. And it shows throughout.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Band-Maid=World class act. They are all best friends to each other. They have fun onstage and offstage. That's the reason why they can produce songs that is as good as The Beatles.

[@ronoda]

True! Egoless.... they really seem to get it and understand they are better together than individually.... which hopefully means they will be around a long, long time.. ;) what's up Kent!

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

@@ronoda. I'm kind of depressed really. Swedish YT is going to shut down the comment section 18/9. There will be no more fun for me on YT anymore. It's devastating. Maybe it's our government that have something to do about it. Our free speech is narrowed down to almost zero.

[@ryanhalien8468]

To me MISA is so amazing because it’s so rare for the bassist in a band to STAND OUT, and she DOES. She constantly blows me away she’s SO good. Think about it how many bands have a guitarist or a drummer or a singer that stand out there’s a ton of them right? How many have a bassist that really blows you away? It’s rare, she’s a rare breed and I DIG it so heavily

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

So, so so agree with you. Her approach is almost like a lead guitarist who plays bass...plus the mix of the music has her bass "turned up" where you can hear her playing where other bands have the bass turned down and can't hear them. Her playing is savage! I love it too!

Jimmy Page( LED ZEPPELIN) just after seeing the band play in Tokyo in 2016. He complimented Akane. Akane was star struck. She later said Mr Jimmy Page-san offered her much encouragement and she promised to do her best. The talent level is off the charts, These girls are flat out ROCK STARS. KANAMI(Lead Guitar ) channeling her inner EDDIE VAN HALEN. AKANE (DRUMS )channeling her inner JONH BONHAM. MISA ( BASS ) well just being MISA. MIKU(GUITAR ) channeling her inner rock star. ( SHRED ON LADIES )

[@sacluvsBM]

Outstanding. Not only do they sing and play they also write and arrange and do it so damn well. 19 days and a wake up for the show at the Echoplex in LA. This is going to be epic.

Thanks guys.

[@Glynthepin]

What is so good about Band Maid is they make playing look like a walk in the park. The stage presence is excellent and you will be hard pushed to find songs you don't like. A new CD is out soon and they have an excellent back catalogue. Fastskipper777 comment sums up the chemistry of Band Maid well.

[@OrdinedelCaos]

Is the guy in the middle alive?

[@lurkmerchant]

I wondered the same thing.

[@hayzersolar]

I've been a drummer for 40 years flooding a lot of bands playing in front of lot of people and I can honestly say that this drummer has been made I can't even tie her shoes that's how good she is there are some elements I can do watch the video freedom if you haven't watched it already live version and there's a drum solo in there that I can't start to break down what she's doing

[@traymis]

That Hartman dude is a man of few words! Let's call him the "MISA" of the Hops Metal Show. Of course, Hop & String, you made sure there wasn't any dead air.

[@Eternalblixx]

the *guitar you mentioning is the traditional Shamisen, MISA is well drilled in that aswell

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

If you want to some awesome shamisen playing, watch the video for The Yoshida Brothers song Rising.

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

I agree 100% about the Japanese culture wanting o be the best at what they due but to take it another step I think its just they have genuine pride in their work. In fact, speaking about Marty Friedman, saw a video he made about what to expect when traveling to Japan and he said you should never tip because they consider that an insult. In their mind, they are getting paid for a service. It doesn't matter what it is, they feel they're giving you their all in whatever work or service it is and it should speak for itself. Anyway, great videos guys. Kinda stumbled in you channel and I like what y'all produce.

[@hopsmetalshow3413]

Thanks for watching and enjoying what we are doing ! We are just some Metal Heads spreading our love for music ! I like the fact you explaining about the tipping and views on that subject !

[@rakjr6]

Onset is after the World Domination album. It was on a bonus single sold with two other singles in Japan. It should be on the new album coming in December. The three-string instrument Marty referred to is the shamisen. I have seen it used as a substitute for a banjo. They also have the koto which is also plucked strings. It lies flat and usually has 13 strings. If you like to see a band that mixes Western rock instruments with Japanese instruments like the shamisen and koto check out the amazing Wagakki band. For example "Ikusa"(war) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bdm2aarLOrgNk

Yes, Wagakki Band is no joke... wouldn't surprise me to see Wagakki open for the Olympics next year...

I'm bordering on obsession with this band. Maybe next year they'll tour more U.S. cities and one will be close enough for me to attend. I had the same feeling about Babymetal , finally got the chance to see them in K.C. and Babymetal II showed up. What a bummer that was.

Onset is pretty good but Without holding back is the better instrumental, much, much heavier. Pity there's only fan cam footage.

[@viaverde3153]

From what I read, "Without holding back" has been withdrawn from recent concerts, probably for further processing and refine. Perhaps they will play this song on a US tour.

[@alexn4843]

Band Maid is awesome. Just found out about them this summer. Going to their concert in about 2 weeks in NYC. If you like the back and forth between the bass and guitar, you should do a reaction to their song "Take Me Higher". The back and forth between the two in that song is awesome. This was the 1st song I heard of them and was hooked. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHfcipyGeb-tmtk

[@davidchambliss5909]

The Japanese education system as it is, provides a LOT of funding for the arts, as well as say, "shop" classes. That's one of the reasons why there are a lot of young Japanese musicians, and you can imagine, once they start getting good at whatever they're playing, they start looking for inspiration, and KZbin provides PLENTY of anything that's come before, and they are standing on the shoulders of giants in short order. English is also a required subject at the high school level.

[@powbobs]

Most Japanese don’t speak English.

[@chloesampson5046]

Unfortunately it’s true. Very few Japanese speak English. Very rare these days. A product of government not wanting to lose their culture. English has been introduced more in recent times but most millennials can’t understand or speak English. Japan has some of the best upcoming musicians in the world. Incredible prodigies in Lisa X on guitar and Yoyoka on drums (playing in international gigs,sponsorship deals,on Ellen twice,featured in NAMM 2020 in LA. Check out Petty Rock in Thailand also. As good as it gets at 7 and playing in bars at 6 at Pattaya. Stage presence now at 10. Check out Burn. 10 going on 21. She’s that good. Ayu in Indonesia too. World class. You’ll be blown away.

[@MrEd-qg8td]

Kanami (lead Guitar) was watching an Eddie Van Halen Eruption solo and that's where she saw his tapping. And she started trying it herself at home 1st. Then tried it in the band in 2014. If you watch the "Thrill" video I believe that was the 1st time she used it with the group. And now she uses it a lot more often. Like in this video.

[@MrEd-qg8td]

They are required to read and write English in school. Not to speak it.

[@RevStickleback]

I would guess the album you have is World Domination. Going by the fact that Puzzle isn't there, the mainly requested ones off the album that Puzzle is on are "Moratorium", "Take Me Higher" (which also has a bass-lead back and forth) and "Secret My Lips". Moratorium - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGilgnahisdnias Take Me Higher - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHfcipyGeb-tmtk Secret My Lips - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYHKfHpugqh3oKM For this one though, there's also the April Fool's version "Secret Maiko Lips" where the band announced they were changing their image and sound, to dress like maiko (apprentice geisha) and to introduce traditional Japanese instruments to their songs, releasing this new version of Secret My Lips. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-reHR4rNKYa5I Always watch the real version first.
