[@kieranbuffini8632]

What more can you say Majestic.

[@BillHallisey]

These young women are SO special!!!!!

[@Amiekinz4ever]

Yes they are!!!

[@kanux04]

I loooove BandMaid. These ladies are absolutely amazing and I wish i could see them live. I will not miss their next tour

[@Kissthetoad321]

It speaks of the philosophy of life, of the transmission of stories or music from generation to generation. We can understand this song in different aspects and feelings but you have perfectly understood its essence and depth by reading the lyrics and with your musician's mind. The superb photography particularly highlights the beauty of Saiki in the interior of this beautiful residence as well as in the Edenic exterior landscape and is in keeping with the song which is rare in an MV. Thanks Amy.

Storytelling, songwriting, musicality etc..Everything. They are just Magical 🔥❤️🙏🏻

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

This song contains multiple drops, all different. The first, right after the pastoral beginning verses, features a pause that contains a sound effect like the air being sucked out of the room. This song works on soooo many levels; brilliant!

[@archaeopteryx981]

What you said about “journey of humanity” is right. As others have mentioned, Kanami composed this song while reflecting on the recent passing of a loved one. Saiki then added lyrics that conveyed how songs and stories outlive people, and that songs and tales that may have been lost or “forbidden” in the past may be discovered generations later. Likewise, she expresses the hope that they, now in the present, can convey their stories to people in the future.

[@Amiekinz4ever]

That's so kewl

[@waynebenedict5785]

Band-Maid is always evolving and getting better constantly! Epic Narratives is a great new album!

[@glenkelley6799]

Thanks for reacting to Band-Maid's latest release. This song just evokes so much emotion (even without the lyrics). Great reaction.

[@cius2112]

the whole album is amazing!

[@Charles-ce7ev]

In another comment Kanami wrote this after going through a death of someone close, and she started thinking about what is life truly all about. Kanami's lyrics are about stories and music that was censored in the past that we can now find and hear for the first time. So it seams to me to be just about life and finding a path for yourself and discovering everything new along the way. Only Band Maid could write something so beautiful and so deep at the same time. Well done ladies.

[@Amiekinz4ever]

They are solid!

[@Studio-Coast_Kid]

Ok so without reading through your comments section here goes although I'm, sure someone else has probably beaten me to the punch. The beautiful thing about music is that it moves us and that whichever way it comes across and does that is fantastic. Notes, vocal patterns and lyric fragments can trigger memories and emotions for all of us in different ways for different reasons. That being said.... There is a fine gentleman who in the comments section of the original MV of "Forbidden Tales" translated an interview of the Maid's where each gave their thoughts and inspirations for how they crafted the song. In particular Kanami who wrote the original musical ideas for it and that affected Saki who in turn became inspired to write the lyrics for it. The song has a definite purpose and meaning and I highly suggest you go the the original MV's comments section and look it up ( it's a bid comment near the top you cannot miss it) because it's amazing and totally worth the time to do so because it truly open up a completely new door to the song. ( I apologize for any weird word structure. Grammar correct does as it chooses and I 'm not look back to make corrections)

*Band Maid!* 🔥🔥🔥

[@Amiekinz4ever]

YES!!!

[@HG-kr5dc]

from JAPAN.　　Thank you for your reaction to BAND-MAID.　　I understand what you are saying very well.　The live video has the enjoyment that only a live performance can offer, such as the actual performance of the girls and their interaction with the audience.　The music video, including the images, colourfully expresses the message that BAND-MAID wants to convey to their fans, as well as the musicality of the girls.　It is not that one is better than the other; they are both excellent.　I think it's a question of our preferences.　The new album contains 14 songs, which you are encouraged to listen to.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

My interpretation is quite spiritual. You have the Sistine Chapel scene where the hand of Man is actually holding God's hand Then there's the scene where Saiki is lying beneath the Tree of Life. Then the lyric, "I can feel you in the sky". Yes, to me, quite spiritual.

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Yep. Kanami wrote this after someone close to her passed (may have been her grandmother), but Saiki wrote the lyrics about songs that were forbidden to he sung, with a focus on this song being eternal.

[@Amiekinz4ever]

It's really poetic

[@JazzFatcho]

@@Amiekinz4ever Daiki ->Saiki I recommend you to read Barks' interview about this song. It's very deep. You will understand the meaning of Kanami's song and Saiki's lyrics. You will also understand the reason why Kanami doesn't have a solo. And your heart will be moved even more.

[@bandmaidfanATL]

@@JazzFatcho yeah, spelling huh? I corrected 🤣🤪

[@Amiekinz4ever]

😆 🤣 😂

[@JayDeeMC]

Amazing music video, amazing song. It's one of my favourites from the new album. And that's saying a lot, because this entire album is amazing! Saiki's voice sounds better than ever. Miku is getting more complex music to play with her guitar, as well as being incredibly vocally. Misa, Kanami, and Akane are doing incredible, too.

[@darrellroninson3476]

🤘🤘🤘

[@TomClark-Futoura]

The songs already released earlier in the year are just Band-Maid awesomesauce! The six new songs are so tightly integrated and complex, it's going to take a Tokyo minute to assimilate. I already love Forbidden Tale. The backstory of Saiki's lyrics and Kanami's composition are deep as hell! And The One is my fave of the new drops. 😉🤘 btw - We should all wish a "Good Luck" to Band-Maid's new self-run management company: Maidit, Co., LTD! Thx, Amiekinz!

[@Amiekinz4ever]

I'm glad the maids cleaned out the old management and have taken the reigns themselves

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@Amiekinz4ever Yeah, I'll be anxious to see what changes, what the Maids come up with in their newfound freedom. 🤘

[@septimusseverus7237]

"The One" is in my own opinion one of the best songs the maids have ever created. I just cried the first time I heard it. It is such a heart wrenching ballad. A masterpiece. And you are right about these new, previously unveiled songs of this album, what a shock is was. These new songs could have been released as a separate EP, inasmuch so that they share such a coherent stylistic unity ,revealing a new phase of the band's musical creativity. If they keep on going in this direction, a bright future is ahead of us.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@septimusseverus7237 Indeed!

[@robwebnoid5763]

Yup, they released a bunch of song videos on KZbin due to their new album.

[@Amiekinz4ever]

I need to find them

[@robwebnoid5763]

@@Amiekinz4ever ... The new songs videos that I am referring to have the same "Epic Narratives" album cover art background on the videos. You can find them under the Releases tab on their official yt channel & then click on the "Epic Narratives" album. 10/04/24
