Saiki's voice.. it's got a full, at times breathy sound(almost wanna say 'smoky'). in one sweep she can go from bright clarity up high to a deep husky quality down low. she's got great control.. doesn't overdo it on the vibrato. the way she holds and closes out that final line at 4:35.. i LOVE that sound. in more recent live performances she's been adding some grit to her vocals which sounds amazing.. and again, not overusing it at all. my 2 cents. also interesting to hear, is the sound of her voice on the first release, Maid In Japan. it's still her, but somehow completely different. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DMqZ1ujapre9k acoustic performance.. if you want to hear a showcase of her vocals, this is it

[@Glynthepin]

Misa's bass playing is superb in this song. The interplay between her, Akane and Kanami is wonderful in my view. Not leaving out Saiki and Miku on vocals which all add up to a live performance that I don't think many bands would be able to match.

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Miku switching up chords and single picking! Oh yah- PO!💪🏻🤘🏻

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

I'm sure I will be corrected if I'm wrong but I think this was one of the first Servings (Live show) after she had Throat surgery to remove polyps.

[@markmark6378]

I think SAgillzQs kind of nailed what is so special about Saiki's voice. I know that I see a huge amount of growth from say "Thrill" to how she sings here and now. She obviously worked real hard over the years to become a better singer, especially better fit for Band-Maid songs. And she has become an outstanding performer on stage. She holds more than her own amongst her talented mates. I also think the band has been able to write to her strengths much more in the last couple of years or so. One thing is for sure, no one else I know sounds like her and her voice is immediately identifiable. I know that Miku's voice really compliments Saiki's and creates a really cool singing sound when they sing together and going back and forth. But anyone with a good ear knows that Saiki is the better over all singer. If you want to really hear what she can do, check out the live acoustic versions of "Puzzle" and "Anemone" She destroys! and Kanami has a pleasing voice as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DMqZ1ujapre9k

[@ToniaHan]

One of the most beautiful Band-Maid song, so awesome.

[@outwest1014]

Rock and Roll is alive and well in the hands of 5 beautiful Japanese ladies. Saiki vocal training started when she was 15, meaning that she has excellent vocal control and range. So she can be in low range and then to a high range; with the ability to control her volume without straining her voice. All of them of course have had a professional music training and it shows in their performances. How many bands have you saw or listened to where you can't hear half the band due poor or weak playing. With band=Maid you heard all of them very much in tune with one another. Enjoy the LA concert, I can't make it, unfortunately.

[@beerumble6893]

I went to a B-M concert a couple of weeks ago and I can assure you that Saiki's voice is even better live. I can't really figure out what exactly it is but 100% agree with you that her voice is kinda unique and I love it. But to prove the band also sounds nice without Saiki, give ''Band Maid - Rock in me '' a shot. WARNING: You may gonna suffer a heart attack by Miku's cuteness. :D

[@r3alf3ar]

Saiki is a goddess! In BAND-MAID we trust! 😉🤘

[@inquisition6]

I read once that Misa had a big part of writing Awkward (or the music). Saiki has an awesome voice, she has a lot of power.

[@borntraitor289]

mentioned in an interview that it was the first time Kanami had worked on the early stages of a demo with another member(MISA)

[@topographic1973ify]

I've been waiting. Check out the videos from this year from London, Paris and Hamburg. They're audience pieces but I think they really show more of the "true" Band-Maid. They really do some different stuff on stage and they really appear to be having major fun. There's on of Kanami in Hamburg going OFF on a solo. She's hopping around like a crazy woman. Very entertaining.

[@tommcfall1274]

Saiki doesn't sound like a chipmunk like so many J-rock J-metal singers and she doesn't have the over the top church lady vibrato of a certain other popularly worshipped J-metal singer. I wont mention names because people get all butt hurt. She has a wonderfully melodious voice. One of a kind

[@me262talon2]

Thanks guys, great song and reaction!

[@mono.5810]

BAND MAID - ROCK IN ME:)

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

"Why they're so good?!" Well....

[@Pauloz87]

Aré you guys going to the echoplex?

[@sacluvsBM]

Yup. On the 30th of September.

[@zodiacmansions]

I'm so happy Saiki-san is getting the attention for singing that she deserves! She is most definitely in the top three of my female lead singers... she might very well be the top one!

[@David-yt6kp]

Sai-chan doesn't have the typical female Japanese voice. Instead of the higher range, she's in the baritone range. Add to that, her voice is well trained and she sings with emotion. She makes you feel what she's singing. You can thank Miku for knowing great talent when she saw it. Thanks for doing my suggestion. (Correction: Contralto NOT Baritone)

[@rickwagner-]

@David Probably better described as "contralto". That's the lowest vocal range of the female voice types. I've suggested BAND-MAID songs in the past, but none of the "Vocal Coach Reacts" channels has had a reaction to a BAND-MAID song that I've seen so far.

[@David-yt6kp]

@@rickwagner- I don't know if she's quite down in the contralto range. It would be nice to hear what a vocal coach thinks. I wouldn't mind being wrong on this one. If you ever get one to do it, I'd love a heads up.

[@rickwagner-]

@David Baritone would be much lower though. It's below tenor, which is below alto or contralto. At any rate, I'll start suggesting BAND-MAID again. What song do you think is best? She's very forward in the mix in this one, so it seems like it might be a decent choice. You really hear the timbre of her voice.

[@David-yt6kp]

@@rickwagner- I agree this would be a good song. There are songs where she sings in a lower key, but this one showcases her voice very well.

[@lalaland3477]

@@rickwagner- Yeah Awkward (live) , Puzzle (live), Daydreaming (live). I myself prefer Puzzle.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Awesome, such a clean, crisp sound. You can hear each instrument and voice. Love them and your reactions. Thanks for a great video.

[@anggitapane9518]

React to Rich Brian ~ yellow (indonesia)

[@bobparmelee1071]

You should react to the rock band (The Warning) There three teenage sisters from Mexico. I suggest the song (Dust to Dust) live at lunario CDMX

[@gold6651]

貴方が不思議に感じているのは　日本人の根底に根付いている日本人独特の感性です。 あらゆる物に命が宿ると考え　あらゆる音にさえ感情を感じる。そして歌詞をとても大切にし、些細なニュアンスさえ　事細かに表現出来る日本語があり、小さい頃から人の気持ちを大事に寄り添って生きることを教えられる日本人だからこそ　創り上げることが出来る日本の音楽だからです。

[@lalaland3477]

Have you gotten those tickets to their shows in LA this year? Two shows for exactly. Also in Dallas and NY. And Saiki, I don't know why, like you, sorry.

[@ronoda]

They are in Echo Park on Sept 30 and Oct 1.... sold out, but maybe u can find it online

[@johnmatthew102]

Yes, they can be found online. Just looked on eBay and it is evident the resellers have been busy buying up tickets, inflating prices for the average fan. I counted 60 tickets for the Echo Park shows on there with a wide range of prices. It will be interesting to watch the price action as the show dates near.

[@ronoda]

@@johnmatthew102 two 1st world pet peeves: Paying for parking and ticket scalpers... hope they have to eat those tix or better yet, sell below cost... hopefully they bought Babymetal tix at the Forum, that thing ain't gonna sell out and they'll be stuck for sure

[@Gavrev]

Always a joy to catch you guys watching Band Maid.. Nice to catch up with them again. Saiki has a beautiful voice because she IS beautiful. They all radiate that certain charm which seems to be inherent to far eastern culture. When they do something they do it with heart, and it shows.

[@zer0tzer0]

Her vocals have Mu. It's a Japanese thing. You can look it up if you like, but it translates to Tension Over Time. You can find an explanation in a video by the Kodo Drummers who play the big Taiko Drums. There's a Steely Dan thing, similar though not exactly related, called the Mu Major Chord. There's a good explanation in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rISndWuonLqchMU

[@me262talon2]

Cool. Thanks TZ

[@wilsonlopez5992]

Please react to Take me higher !! from Band Maid.

[@me262talon2]

Like true maidens they are vry discreet

[@Badllamah]

Hopefully you have your LA tickets? Since they are sold out.... Something to note on the vocals. Most of their songs are 90-95% Saiki with the rest being Miku (and occasionally Kanami) undertones and harmony's. You hear Saiki loud and clear but Miku adds something, I dunno, like a smoothing?... something like that. Not saying Saiki sounds rough, but it is a more "complete" sound. Especially in this song, it makes the vocal fuller even though you can't really hear Miku as much as you normally might....

[@ronoda]

I hope Kai got his tix or he'll be in mourning for the next 5 B-M videos after....

[@armynurseboy]

Miku's voice is slightly higher, but is almost a "softer" version of Saiki's voice. Because it's so similar to Saiki's it's great for providing natural harmony and background that would sometimes have to be added in post-production by a studio tech. I didn't know Miku was the one singing on "Rock in Me" until I saw the video.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Band-Maid!! 😎🤘

[@DaElfer]

have not seen you do the new band maid songs need you you to come back to them. This song of their older stuff if.. well... just so good

[@glenkelley6799]

If you want to see them live in 2019, here's a channel that the guy filmed their 2019 Hamberg concert - really good audio and video -he was really close to the sstage - kzbin.infovideos

[@glenkelley6799]

There's a couple of B-M compilations - I've been seeing reviews using this one as a challenge ""Try not to headbang" kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZbHioZjna-XnaM - - good luck

[@gringopablo]

Who says MISA can't use her fingers as she does with a pick? Those poor ignorants.

[@sacluvsBM]

See you at the Echoplex on September 30th. Can't wait.

[@JGM0JGM]

Lol, not in Sacramento, but close enough! You must be beside yourself.... I'm so freaking jealous.... po! Enjoy it!

[@sacluvsBM]

@@JGM0JGM Sack of tomatoes, California is 369 miles away from Echo Park and l never gave that a second thought. Not many acts l would go that far to see but Band-Maid, as you know, is the exception. I could die Oct 2nd but at least l will go with a smile on my face. Very best regards fellow fanatic.

[@JGM0JGM]

@@sacluvsBM Ah, right, I forgot how big California actually is.... Are you gonna be Kanami-san side or Misa-san side?

[@sacluvsBM]

@@JGM0JGM l will be in line by 12 noon to ensure l get right up front. It is all general admission. As far as what side l will be on you might just as well ask which of my children do l love the most. All the best to you.

[@JGM0JGM]

@@sacluvsBM lol, good comparaison, but you will have to choose, or play it safe and stay in front of Saiki-chan, which is also a very decent option! Kitsune up, po!

Wow, they even do 'beautiful' in perfection
