Introducing My Friend to - BAND-MAID / Blooming (Official Music Video)

[@Charles-ce7ev]

Blooming actually is the song that won my Son over to Band Maid. And he is a complete metal head. Another one bites the dust.

[@mlm5150]

It's funny that you both mentioned Driving. lol Blooming was in the movie Kate that is on Netflix and it's during a driving chase scene.

[@UltraHD.7]

"Blooming" is what I'd call a perfect rock song.

[@IAMisLove]

👍BAND-MAID excellence!! 🖖❤

[@zinoviylubman5553]

KANAMI!!!!!! She is the best!!!!!

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Band-Maid are not afraid to experiment with different ways of writing songs.

[@powbobs]

Kanami’s green PRS Custom 24 10 top cost about $5000.00.

[@waynebenedict5785]

Way to go! Spread the word of Band-Maid!

[@Kissthetoad321]

Band-Maid is certainly one of the rare female rock bands to do what they want to do. Sometimes at the risk of not pleasing certain fans. They compose, arrange and write and produce their songs themselves in a direction that they have decided together. None of their albums are the same. These girls have balls if I may say so. My favorite band above all. Blooming is a fucking awesome punky-rock banger. Thanks John. Have a good time in Hong Kong with the Maids.😉

[@marcbouchard1467]

this band have so many good songs. my favorite band now

[@howardbrown911]

By the way John, I want to thank you for playing that Band Maid documentary. Man, that was fascinating and I learned so much. I was so happy to find someone who loves Band Maid as much as I do. I got to see them this last summer in Salt Lake City and they were mind blowing. Absolutely and incredibly mind blowing! Also you do fantastic reactions man. Keep up the great work John. I'll be listening and watching!

[@haggaisimon7748]

Yes, going forward, that’s important. Not complaining all life, but going forward!

[@JK-tz6kk]

Funny you mentioned that they would have fun putting together this song. On the contrary, Kanamincho-sensei gave an assignment for each member to come up with a chorus from her initial demo. The catch was that they were given a timeline to complete the assignment. It was like homework. But, ultimately it became one of their most memorable pieces, probably top 3 in many playlists, Po! If I remember correctly, Kanami mentioned this during an interview. 🦍🍌 From the MusicVoice interview on 2019-12-11: Kanami: "We also tried a new thing in Blooming. I asked Misa to send me a lot of bass phrases in the beginning of this year, and I picked up one of them as an intro and expanded it from there. After writing instrumentals, I asked my bandmates to write melodies of the chorus. They sent me in various ways such as voice memos. The part of “far away” is what Kobato wrote for the chorus and I inserted it in a different position."

Nice one, thank you 👍🍻

[@t-shinji]

Thanks.

[@cholatse6745]

I guess you got the student model SE custom 24 build in Asia, which is a budget line of the original customs 24 and are available for under $ 1000 new. Absolutely no way you get an original Custom 24 Kanami is endorsed with for that price, except the guitar dealer is blind, deaf, uneducated and high on drugs 😊 But no worry the SE line are still excellent guitars to.

[@Kozouakomachan9079]

Shes so amazing vocalist vocks really great bend and song! parfect scampering!!⚡☝🏻🤘🏼👍⚡✨🌠🌟

[@scottmcgregor4829]

For so many of Band Maid songs they feel nostalgic while I am listening to it for the first time.

[@JoFa876]

Men of Culture love Band-Maid.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Band-Maid. Blooming Brilliant! Thx, John & Chris!

[@bruceveary1758]

Merry Christmas, John! Merry Christmas, Tom!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@bruceveary1758 Happy New Year to you and yours, Bruce! May we experience another Band-Maid concert, too!🥳

[@bruceveary1758]

"The Next Band Maid Concert" is one of my five keys reasons to stay alive. No, I'm not kidding...and to any trolls out there, nothing about this point of view is sad. (Sadness would be if Band maid is not a huge part of your life).@@TomClark-Futoura

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@bruceveary1758 🤘😂🤘 Maidiacs know no sadness!

[@tonygriffin_]

I think Saiki-sama takes a big breath before she starts this song and then manages to make it last all the way through ths song. I can't see how she has time to take a breath otherwise.

[@chakouyang2545]

Thanks for sharing our favorite bsnd to others ❤

[@Bekka_Noyb]

top tier Band Maid here! dbl ♥

[@paulpetersen879]

If kanami did this solo in 1986 she would have been a guitar Goddess in the states.

[@JuanSan66]

Best band!! PS: Seriously, your friend got a PRS 24 of 5,000 bucks for three hundred???. That's a lot more than luck my friend.

[@zer0tzer0]

$299? He must have missed a button on the register. That should have been $2999!

[@brunobryant4846]

Enjoy HK our Maidiac Brother, this Aussie Maidiac can't help but be a wee bit jealous 😂 What a fcken band Po 👍🍻

[@ichinov]

🤘🤘🤘

[@LS-uv9gg]

A thousand points off for stopping it in the middle of Akane's second cool drum gallop, and not having the decency to at least back up 5 or 10 seconds. Boo. 😁

[@surfingasongwave]

Okay, so he got a PRS Custom and an amp from Guitar Center for $299. Did it come with a case? I'd want a hard shell case for _that_ kind of money ... and a set of strings. I'm not sure you can get a plastic Yamaha for $299. Without the case. Or strings.

YESSS!!!!

[@oerayyyunardo819]

please react STMLT Twilight" if u need more maid

[@RahimRahmat]

Wow, what a story on that PRS purchase... wth $299???!!!

[@user-ultrasonic]

You should do a reaction to Carol of the Bells remix by Maytree

[@devingalloway2708]

Your just now hearing Blooming and your in Hong Kong? That's not fare. You've never seen KATE?

[@JohnReavesLive]

I’d like to start my 3 part apology by saying… yes! But also I think they might have played this in Nashville when I saw them! And I don’t think I’ve seen KATE? What’s that?

[@I_am_Warthog]

@@JohnReavesLive KATE is a Netflix movie that had two Band-Maid songs (Choose Me and Blooming) and a cameo appearance from the band featured in it.

[@JohnReavesLive]

@@I_am_Warthog ohhhhhh I think I have seen it!!! But it was before I was into bandmaid and I’ll have to go back and watch it now to hear it!!

[@devingalloway2708]

@JohnReavesLive it's a movie on Netflix. Alright I will offer an apology in that I did like your Nemophila video. I saw Band-Maid in Houston in October, then Welcome to Rockville in Daytona in May, and then Denver in August a week later I got fired from my job, but before that I was excited and order some fan made coins, and then canceled the order because I couldn't afford them. Today I went to the post office and found the coins, so I've been pretty "Thrilled" today. But your video gave me the impression that you less then pure motives... we're called Maidiacs for a reason. Dude I watch 10 reactions a day to promote the Maids, play music, and show videos to anyone, and everyone. I have 20 years of working in television, all the music your trying to make a business out of is already part of my DNA. I liked you, so I subscribed to give you encouragement, but what do I get if you if your just exploiting the situation? There is a community that I'm sure gave your channel a boost your first reaction, what do they get? I do want to see the scene out of Japan blow up, but you can only understand the significance of Band-Maid if you understand what Mtv killed. Before Mtv bands all tried to have a new and unique sound, after Mtv is all about money thus the term "sell out" someone sending me some cool memorabilia for free is the good good, after all I did get an autograph picture, and a Miku guitar pick on my journey. I love, love, love Band-Maid, I like Nemophila, Lovebites is cool too bonus points to Lovebites for being at the Yokohama show tho. And as you have learned there's a tsunami of rock act in Japan. Band-Maid has the broadest appeal the spearhead. What's your foundation, what is love? As Nemophila puts it. When I was in Denver the night before the show I had a dream of Indians with tribal feathers, and war paint, and I was on a bluff dressed the same way. In reality I was on an 8th story balcony overlooking the performance venue looking down on people in line all day, after the show while talking to people I realized I found my tribe! Enough talk, go watch KATE on Netflix

[@amgerth]

Yes, they did play Blooming in Nashville. And Different, and Black Hole, and Warning, and Unleash!!!!!, and Screaming, and For Now On, and Sense ....
