I thought you'd take the instrumental version for the instruments' breakdown...

[@joeking6763]

So you have to go back to BAND MAID's earlier album NEW BEGINNING and the song FREEZER. I think the harmonizing has been there all along. The synchronizing singing as well. They are just using it more now than before. With the training that these ladies have I don't think they are learning more - just being more confident in using what they already know how to do. More analysis with the software is a good idea. I know that more software is coming that will be improving on what exists now. Unlike BAND MAID the software has to pull you along or you will stop buying the "new and improved" software.

[@surfingasongwave]

To paraphrase Ryan Mear; "This fuckin' band."

[@Glenner7]

Wave's Adventures in MISA-land. As JulestheHuman said, "can somebody go get MISA some more frets? She's used them all!"

[@ontaka5997]

You HAVE to play a filter with the "Bass and Drums" together (If technically possible)!!! It will probably be really mind-blowing, to notice how the two instruments are locked in together.

[@TehPhysics]

17:40 "MISA's bassline is just like an adventure. Non-stop adventure.." "Adventures with MISA!" Premiering this fall. Yeah, I'd watch the hell outta that show. Six seasons and movie!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

MISA is basically playing lead guitar on bass.

[@mikometal4882]

Interesting point !

[@StephenSharish]

Best line ever at 10:12 "This software can't hold Miku back." I'm starting to believe that the world can't hold Miku back!

[@kennogawa6638]

MISA is phenomenal on the bass!

[@stevehall5128]

I just wanna thank Wave, Dicodec/Alan, Ryan, Champ, JBF, Axe, Wally, Ronin, and actually a bunch of others for delivering reactions and analyses that are worth watching. The coolest thing is not so much that they reinforce or develop my appreciation of Band-Maid more (although they definitely do that), but that _because_ they do that, their reactions to other bands make me appreciate _those_ groups more, because if somebody's making good points I never noticed about a band I might well know better than they do, they're gonna do the same for a new band. Anyway, Miku's scream often give me chills, and the "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah" part is probably the most identifiable hook (amidst all the other hooks, like the opening guitar riff). It's sooooo inventive; there's stuff in rock history that's comparable (the amphetamine stutter on "My Generation" by the Who springs to mind) but I think it's literally never been done before. I remember seeing the teaser video they put out and everybody was like, "What the hell even WAS that?!?!!" The ending has a backwards sample of someone (pretty sure it's not Saiki) singing "I've been thinkin bout you-ou-ou-ou" but all chopped and spliced to match the rhythm.

[@phaeron]

How complex the instrumental really is, I also only realized by listening to the CD of the score to UW. Even if they shift down a few gears today, their instrumentals are still several levels more complex than comparable songs from the genre. 🔥🤘🏻 In the end, I prefer the complete work, but it's also interesting for once to hear the individual tracks. Thanks for that! 🙏🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- from *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊

[@Kevin6059]

One of my absolute favorite songs! Saiki's the one that blew me away on this. Being from Chicagoland, I love the blues, and our queen proved beyond a doubt that she can "get down in the basement" as Koko Taylor liked to say when she really wanted to get "down and dirty." On Ryan's reaction, on I think the final verse when she belts out the word "higher" - he literally laughs out loud and covers his mouth. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout!!

[@jimmorrisonisamaidiac]

MISA. All of them really, total package, but MISA MISA MISA is just so groovy. Along with the other bass players mentioned in the comments I want to throw in Phill Lesh. She’s all over the place and exactly where she should be. Hey Mr. Wave could you make this a playlist series? These isolated Maid tracks are one of the best things I could be checking out on all of YTube.

[@Frank-pe9pk]

She is the best bass player I’ve heard in my 60+ years. Now being isolated proves that even more. She must of had a great teacher but now she could teach her teacher.👍

[@franshendrix1404]

All these layers are part of the unseen world. Disecting them shows it. Awesome!

[@ontaka5997]

I already noticed that Misa was busy with her bass but I didn't realize that she was THAT BUSY throughout the songs. I didn't notice the clicking accents she was making with the muted strings.

[@billmcleangunsmith]

From the first time I heard this song, I said that the solo was more of a duet with the bass. MISA often plays more notes than a lot of lead guitarists. When you played the guitar and bass alone, you can hear how they complement each other in much the same way that the vocals do.

[@michaelpalmer3717]

I have never seen this kind of analysis before and it is fascinating. Manners just proves how absolutely brilliant is Kanami's composition and guitar work and just how good the rest of the band are. Misa seems exceptional pushing the bass parts way beyond the normal. Akane's creative drumming beyond compare and Saiki and Miku's faultless vocals. And this on one of Band Maid's most straightforward numbers. These are the most exceptional musicians, talented beyond belief and utterly charming on and off stage.

[@JK-tz6kk]

What Misa-sama does, we give props to Akane-sama for holding down the pocket = lead bass player that is Misa-sama, Po!

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Akane's drum work sounds like old school hip hop beats I could hear Run-D.M.C. rapping over Akane's drumming

[@alanstamper4345]

I’d really like it if you did another pass with the bass and the drums combined!

[@lurkmerchant]

God how can Akane memorise all this? Every instrument sings, don't it?

[@michaelpalmer3717]

I heard her say in an interview that we she gets a new file from Kanami she transcribes it to a conventional score and thus can read the part. What other drummer does that I wonder?

[@sugoruyo]

Manners is, like many a BAND-MAID song, a MISA solo throughout.

[@waniko42]

Oh man, when I saw that you were doing Manners I got all excited to hear the isolated base part under Kanami's solo, because I had actually managed to pick up on a fair amount of that, but the chorus section totally blindsided me. I feel like Misa's bass playing is one of those scenarios where no matter how much you try to prime yourself and anticipate it being a lot, there always ends up being more than you expected. 😆

[@jon87583]

I'm with you, Wave: Miku & Saiki really upped their already off the charts vocal game for this album. On 1st listen I just flipped out and beamed with admiration at their performance on this track. Individually & together. And this is such an awesome, straight up hard rock song!Yes, our Misa goes so far above & beyond the call of duty. She does the work of 2 or 3 solid bass players. And thanks for your insights as always, adding to my appreciation of the music! 🤘🤠

[@chrisegbertky]

Rewatching this and realizing for the 1st time that there is so much we don't see or hear. Unseen world indeed. Like when they went extremely deep in the ocean where it is pitch black and seeing brightly covered sea creatures. Why? Amazing. It delights the cosmos to do I reckon. So these artist have tapped into something deep.

[@metalishimo6645]

I love this series.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Read somewhere that her work on Bubble is really complex

[@2abug]

23:17 it is called the Unseen World of bass

[@RTEcalcite01]

Talking about bass players- I remember Jack Bruce of Cream saying that he had to un-learn all his classical cello playing in order to play in bands from the mid 60s. He developed a sort of highbrid style of part composed and part improvised arrangements for songs. Misa may be doing a similar thing. She definately has that standard slide into an octave riff, I think with fingers as well as using octaves generally anywhere on the fret board often with a pick. Any thoughts.

[@surfingasongwave]

I hear it. The solo section in particular sounds similar to Bruce Baker Clapton. Jack Bruce is not as well known as some others from the era but he's right there with Entwistle or anyone else. He played the root notes but he didn't camp on them. Same with MISA. She connects notes, echos the melody or plays a counter to it, she emphasises the bass drum. She's got style.

[@spaolozzi53]

Misa has always had echoes of Jack Bruce for me, not so much the studio recordings of Cream but the live tracks on Wheels of Fire, where Jack has the time and space to cycle up his bass lines and go on adventures of his own. Now that Miku has become such a rock solid rhythm guitarist, Misa can spread her wings more. Paz Lenchantin can be proud of her fan.

[@prateekbanerjee2294]

@@spaolozzi53 wait a sec. MISA LISTENS TO A PERFECT CIRCLE? SHE'S A PROG FAN TOO? This is one thing I didn't know👀...

[@dandanny6772]

Ha! and they say Misa is not a composer. Yeah, Right! and the way Miku comes back, and adds kickass vocal fx is just great.

[@waynebenedict5785]

This is why we hear a new thing in each and every song from Band-Maid! So many layers! When I first heard this song, I was struck at how good Saiki's vocals were! She has gotten better and better through the years! I was drawn to MISA's bass line in this song, especially the bass under Kanami's solo, like you said really a duet, making it so much better! MISA never seems to rest!

[@SilentChaos15]

I remember appreciating Misa so much more when I heard the live version. Especially the second verse and her solo along with Kanami's at the same time.

[@u28one]

Great work. You'll end up doing a video for every song on the Unseen World album... for sure. In the Manners live video you can clearly hear MISA rip a fantastic bass solo matching Kanami, fantastic every time I listening to it. Really do yourself a favor and listen to each song again... it seems every time I do I find something new I hadn't heard before. No other band has done this to me like BAND-MAID. Keep up the wonderful videos.

[@bkeith1853]

Okay, that’s super cool! When you Isolate it like that, it makes me appreciate their individual talent even more

[@michaelmunno]

pure awesome wave. ty for this, really enjoyed it. I always have been pretty tuned in to Misa and Akane, I try to explain it to others and most don't seem to hear what I hear. so this is quite refreshing to see both of their magic get revealed for all to hear. I think every listener tunes in to different things even when they try to self isolate during the full mix. well done. the software is not perfect but it was damn good. well done. ty again.

[@santi141414]

MISA is just a Master of the Bass. I think it would be interesting an Isolated Tracks of Giovanni or I still seek revenge

[@me262talon2]

Thanks Wave!

[@scottmcgregor4829]

I had to revisit this analysis. As a multi instrumentalist wave does my favorite analysis videos for Band Maid. I only have one question. Is "accentation" a real word.🤔🤔

[@elevown]

Its amazing hearing all the stuff you can miss!

[@VegetaRabbit]

I appreciate the ending part more now. On the live version of Manners my ears are focused on MISA, even so, this isolation still allowed me to hear more things I missed. Thanks, Wave!

[@dennismayo4307]

Barefoot Assassin strikes Again, whatever's left. Akane, Kanami, Miki, Saiki will consume any might filter thru,Po!

[@falconsooner]

I would love to hear you do this for Corallium!

[@MrTremors1]

This is very interesting! Thank you for doing this :)

[@Kevin6059]

The one thing I liked better about your other software was the keyboard. That would have been fun to watch for MISA's part. I see there is one now actually but I couldn't see it. Anyway, you're doing God's work Wave. Keep it up!

[@mattdhorstman]

Don't worry about it buddy. You're beautiful.

[@powbobs]

As Ryan said, it’s like MISA is playing one long solo through the whole song.

[@RolandTumble23]

MISA doing MISA things....

[@ontaka5997]

I was blown away by Akane7s drums. Apart from her amazing drum fills, I didn't notice that she was that busy with her bass drums. I always thought she had a "fetish" with her twin bass pedals, doing quick bursts of double bass drums. Thanks very much for the isolated tracks! Just thinking about how fast her bass drum kicks are, maybe Akane is just using one pedal for this song.

[@stefanbranden4898]

Great reaction! MISA rules!!!

[@powbobs]

Loved this. MISA is a monster.

[@doripak815]

and then Kanami arranges/put everything together….AMAZING!

[@prateekbanerjee2294]

You should isolate The Dragon Cries next. Kanami and Misa do some really interesting and intricate work there. Not that it isn't interesting in like, all the songs, but this one is funkier than their other songs, and one that was a reference and comparison point for when Manners came out!!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Miku's power chords really help this work...along with Kanami's killer lead. And, MISA? Nothing more need be said.

[@stevehall5128]

So we know that Kanami, so far, writes Miku's parts. But I've been transcribing them (to learn guitar better while figuring Miku is a great model for that, and because the print in the scorebook is so dang tiny) and there does seem to be a frequent progression in Miku's repeated parts: from power chords to barre chords to octaves and back to barre and/or power chords. Which to me just confirms that Kanami is a genius orchestral composer and Miku is basically the viola and cello sections combined. Well wait...I guess MISA covers the flashier parts of the cello stuff too.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

@@stevehall5128 Miku is the Princess of Drop-D Tuning. LOL Mincho makes Miku's parts relatively easy to play, but Miku has come a long way since she merely carried her Rick 620 as an ornament.

[@toolheadjr.4140]

I'm really digging these type of breakdowns. Thank you!

[@RahimRahmat]

I think I now get the real meaning of the Unseen World, cause I think this analysis literally brought us there! So many things that we couldn't notice without this analysis. So much found in the "Unseen World" of just this song alone!

[@WavePotter]

Well said Rahim!

[@tinyhato]

Haha yeah it's the same with "After Life" another one of their "simpler" songs from Unseen World. They are extraordinary. You're a talented, life-long musician and multi-instrumentalist, with a year's experience listening to Band-Maid so you know "how" to listen to them. That sounds pretentious AF but evidence seems to show that very few people get it from the start; of the Gaijin Guys, for example, Champ was one who did get it immediately and Alan, even with his technical expertise, is someone who took a long time to get there. What I'm saying is that even with these advantages, even you are finding more stuff to appreciate. What hope does the average listener have?

[@増田仁-i9f]

The vocal parts are more likely a Mincho’s feat, I assume. She, Mincho, is the most insane musician of all time. Kobato and Saichan are obedient in some way or “fda good way.” Theses five pieces ain’t no stupid and each knows what she wants and she does it in the own way, somehow.
