[@Slippy6582]

Kanami is simple put a GENIUS! If you see her in interviews, she is always somewhere else, seems like there is SO MUCH in her little head, that she is thinking about riffs, solos, song structure, the last song she heard in the radio and so on, she LIVES music... And she can mix jazz, blues, rock, punk, funk, pop and metal... Name ONE person that is able to write songs like her!? NOBODY

[@lurkmerchant]

After listening to other bands: Wow. That guitarist (whoever stand out the best) was amazing! After listening to band-maid: Wow that music was amazing! Oh that guitarist, no that bassist! Oh holy crap the drummer! Oh the singer sounds amazing too. Just give me all their names!!!

[@user-ch9di3fp7i]

Kanami or Mincho is genuinely insane. Together with MISA and Akane or Ahchan, or the “Instrumental Troopers” whom they call themselves, these girls even go beyond insanity VERY EASILY.

[@phaeron]

From our point of view, they can certainly be called insane, but I'm sure that the girls are the exact opposite in these moments. Up there on stage in front of an audience, they probably have more sanity than most of us. That is their true home where they can just let their creativity run wild. 🤘

[@MrEd-qg8td]

FYI Kanami is the music composer for the band. She writes the songs and gets inputs from the others. She tries to ensure every musician in the band gets there moment in the spot light to say.

[@hiawatha.g]

A lot of people think this is just a simple rocker, but it's a work of genius, completely agree with you. Band-Maid do so much more than is necessary, it really sets them apart.

[@_DriveTime]

I was transfixed on Kanami from the first Band-Maid song I heard. My favorite guitarists are not the fast shredders. It can be fun to watch once, but that stuff generally bores me. I gravitate to the melodic players like David Gilmour and Alex Lifeson. Everything they play is musically pleasing. I put Kanami into this category of guitarist. My guess is she could probably shred with anyone if she wanted, but she's not going to put anything into a Band-Maid song that isn't sonically pleasing, and I love her for that.

[@AMetalheadsPerspective]

I agree!

[@snowdog5895]

Truth!

[@snowdog5895]

Even though bands may play any given song hundreds of times over the course of their career there are times when the stars align and they just catch fire, the performance of this song I believe is one of those times for Band Maid! Another epic song performance (IMO) is when the opened the Line Cube show with "Rinne" , so freaking powerful! Don't know if it possible to react to this one, but even if you watch it on your own it is worth it! Then they follow "Rinne" with the best live performance of "Blooming" 🤯🤯🤯 man I love this band!! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@baddhorsie8318]

World Domination !!!! This is how it is done people, Band -Maid never fails to satisfy and leaving you wanting more..I am sure there are many bands wishing for 1/2 the talent that this band has.

[@xagorvangard]

You're being too generous. I would say 1/4. No one comes close to them right now. Who else can produce quality songs one after another? 100+ good songs and not a single bad one IMO. And they aren't done yet.

[@baddhorsie8318]

@@xagorvangard Agreed, the amount of songs they have written in just a few years is insane. How this band came to be is crazy also(thank you Po). Band-Maid is truly on another level. Congrats to Miku on her new signature Zemaitis. And thank you Kanami senpai for her guitar lessons.

I bought "Just Bring It" to complete my library when I recently ordered the "Unseen World" package. It is the first time hearing the studio version of Take Me Higher for me, after having been listening to the live version for the time it was on KZbin. I must say Misa's popping and slapping sequence at the beginning of the second chorus took me by surprise. It is LOUD, jarringly loud. So much so, it makes me wonder if it wasn't some kind of engineering mistake.

[@AMetalheadsPerspective]

A fantastic mistake if it was imo lol!

[@michaelpalmer3717]

I am puzzled by the dichotomy between their massive on stage persona and their interview personalities. Misa invariably looks as if she can't wait for it to end so she can have drink. Akane looks as if she is thinking about her next meal but is attentive. Saiki is just ice cold elegant, Miku is at 20,000 feet in pigeon mode and Kanami - the goddess driving force behind all Band Maid music - is a gauche 14 year old waving her arms about until she gets a look from Saiki and goes all demur. If I were Kanami I would find a huge music store and wander in looking a bit goofy and enquire about a guitar. Chances are a male assistant would belittle her as she asks to try it and is then blown to pieces when she lets rip!

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!

[@lakenneth374]

Misa, Bass Player: I played piano till 6th grade, then started playing guitar from 1st year junior high, and I was a vocal/guitar when I was 1st year high school. At 2nd year high school, a senior student asked me to join their band as a bassist. I was interested in playing bass, so I decided to join the band as a bassist. Also, in a resent interview, Misa said that she would like to write/sing songs.

Miku genuinely holds this whole song together with her crunchy rhythm guitar. She allows everyone else to be awesome, while being awesome herself. God, I love this song ... off Just Bring It!, the best hard rock album since Appetite for Destruction, imho.

"There's another great song besides this one that I'm reacting to right now. It's FREEZER. I encourage you to go to the download site and click the audition button for that song.
