The KZbin algorithm got me here, and they got it right!! I have a feeling that 99% of people watching this video are Bandmaid fans and watched it to the end only because Akane was playing drums. Everybody has to start somewhere, and playing different genres probably made Akane what she is now.
And I don't think Akane would think she would ever meet Jimmy Page a few years later. So impressed by Akane Hirose and Band-Maid. 🤘🤘👍👍😍🕊️🥁

So many ignorant comments saying Akane is not smiling. Of course not. This is not her band at the time. She is covering for the drummer. She has the music score on a music stand to her left. She is helping them out as a fill-in. So, obviously she is more serious. This was the cafe where she worked as a server during the daytime. She had asked the manager if she could help them on the drums when they had bands there and she got the okay. At this time, she most likely was either at the end of her music schooling or had graduated. Later this cafe will close unexpectedly and Akane will be unemployed. But then, she will get the fateful call from Kanami.

She was not in a lounge band. I think that's the live house she used work as a wait person and play drums during evening hours. She said so from her interviews. She is so young and (kind of) awkward and but playing very well - so cute. I really like her here. It's great.
@VladimirChupin4 жыл бұрын
She looks like she's really struggling, actually 🙄 I think she still felt not very confident on drums at the time. She even counts the beats, you see her lips are moving. The song actually is a fertile field for a drummer to make an excellent cover, and the band is not bad at all. Yes, they play in a bar, and there are more people on stage than in the audience, but that does not matter so much. The band is good, and Akane is trying to do her part. She's not smiling, though, and that's the key, probably. We are all very lucky that Kobato has got the idea of BAND-MAID in her mind, and saved Akane from a dull career of playing in bars. Which actually proves that no matter what talent you have, it flourishes in a good environment only.

With that said, this 'crowd' seemed to be giving better feedback than the 'We Are Sneaker Ages' kids did for BAND-MAID. So... Um... hmm.

I would like to know more of this band. The title calls them freec but the banner says freecs. The English interwebs is of little help so far. As for the description: Google Translate: If you take it on video, the sound of the bass drum will be dead, so although it lacks power, I put in a nice bass drum even though it is a female drummer. Although it's just a habit of hitting, I feel that the whole song and the ad lib are the same and the sharpness is weak. DeepL: The sound of the bass drum is quite dead when captured on video, so it lacks power, but the drummer, a female drummer, played a very lively bass drum. However, the female drummer played a nice little bass drum, but I think it was just a quirk of her playing style. After this fill-in (drummer was a waitress at this establishment) I wonder if this band asked her to join and, if she had said yes, where this would have headed. (Of course, she'd still be accepting phone calls from friends.) Also, who else did she play for here, if anyone.
