Metal Vocalist First Time Reaction - BAND-MAID / Daydreaming (Official Music Video)

[@stabehlphotography]

Of all Kanami's solos, this one is the best, - there I said it. Technical, melodic, fast and this might be controversial, David Gilmour level in the realm of communicating emotions and feelings. Top tier all the way.

[@785boats]

Tears my heart out every time I see Kanami drop into that solo. It's so powerful. Makes my eyes leak that salty watery stuff. I think it's just sheer pride as much as anything else. This time was no different.

[@MrBryanwithay]

$$$kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX3OkKJnhcyBrLs Awkward - The outro solo is my favorite Kanami solo of all time

[@PixelisedPaul]

Facts.

[@jon87583]

I agree: Kanami is a master at transmitting emotion through her guitar riffs and solos. I don't know if Mr. Gilmour knows Band-Maid, but I don't think he'd be offended by the comparison.

[@jjo154]

Absolutely.

[@PaulEngineer]

Up until 2022 Kanami said that this was one the hardest songs to write. Subtle and hard at the same time.

[@topographic1973ify]

I'm almost moved to tears every time I hear Kanami's solo on this. It lifts my spirit to somewhere else.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

I've played this song many hundreds of times and I still get goosebumps every single time, the goosebumps comes way before Kanami makes my head spin with her awesome solo. If any of you get a chance to see Band-Maid live, just do it, they are the best live band I've ever seen.

[@deafnewt6361]

This song makes me fall in love with them all over again every time I listen to it.

[@nussekuddenxxx6564]

I love what Akane does in this song. She is not holding back. The interaction between MISA's bass and Akne's toms is perfection.

[@Bodneyblue]

I believe at one time, this was Kanami's favourite song. If correct she said she had to work really hard on getting the solo just right. Don't know if it is still her favourite, but it's certainly my favourite MAIDs track..not just because it's awesome, but also because of personal reasons.

[@surfingasongwave]

I've heard this and seen the video _so_ many times and yet it still has the same effect every time. By now I have a Pavlovian response every time the solo starts; except it triggers the lacrimal glands instead of the salivary glands. Some people say "the lives are _always_ better than the records" but this is an exception. It is _so_ carefully crafted in every detail ... it's just perfect.

[@_JimS]

Another masterpiece of a song by the Maids. I love when they build to that FULL sound towards the end, as they do on many song...."Manners" being one of the best builds to their All-In towards the end. Have a ball in Hong Kong!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Daydreaming, About Us, Anemone, Endless Story, Memorable, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- an unbelievable range of mid-tempo songs from the greatest hard rock band on the planet - Band-Maid. "Daydreaming," "YOLO," "Puzzle,” and a host of others are world-class masterpieces. Although I love Daydreaming just the way it is and believe it may be Band-Maid's best composed and overall accessible song, I've always wondered if it was sung in English, how deep in the international market Daydreaming would have traveled...? Oh well, I'll stop daydreaming now. Thx John, for another great Band-Maid reaction!

[@Kissthetoad321]

Now we can say that you are starting to know them well, John. They are united like the 5 fingers of the hand. They can make us laugh (on stage) as much as bring us to tears in their ballads. The best rock band these days.

[@brunobryant4846]

I know it's coming, yep here it is, Kanami's solo starts now - and even with knowing that, she musically hits my emotions like a runaway freight train - every fcken time and I love it. This is a band of five musical Unicorns, simply gorgeous, thanks for the reaction 👍🍻

[@mlm5150]

There are a couple of versions that have different beginnings. IN one, It's just Saiki singing solo, then there is a piano intro. Each one is absolutely beautiful

[@EliseAutoXr]

If you read the lyrics they elevate the song to another level. Great song. Thanks for the reaction!

[@RyanMear]

That's my takeaway, from my first listen. This is a perfect song. Absolutely perfect. Nice job, dude 😎

[@chrisegbertky]

Hear hear!

[@jordank2028]

The best way i can sum this band up is the gift that keeps on giving. They just get better and better and better. Suprising us with new talent every time. At this point I really believe they can do whatever they want and it will sound great.

[@powbobs]

My favorite Band-Maid song, live or recorded.

[@jon87583]

I have been fortunate to hear this song live a number of times. I always wear quality ear plugs but I also always take them out for "Daydreaming".

[@danjoseph7515]

BAND-MAID'S Daydreaming = Their most BEAUTIFUL Masterpiece! Also, one of the very few songs where the video/studio version is so perfect, even their phenomenal live abilities can't top it. Thanks again for another great reaction. 🤘🤩🤘

[@_JimS]

Totally Agree!! Manners for me is the same...

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and this is one of the fans favorite. When I first heard this, I though I was trapped in a dream.

[@chuckvelten5337]

Simply put, this is a rock and roll masterpiece !

[@tonygriffin_]

Much as I always recommend their live performances, every single one of their MV's is superb. Love this little shining jewel of a song. Wow, Band-Maid in Hong Kong! Look forward to seeing your vlog of that. Po!

[@diegorbass3144]

This song its my favorite, Band Maid its perfection.

[@BillHallisey]

John, the "Daydreaming" official music video was the first video that I fell head-over-heels in love with Band Maid. It showed me that these wonderfully gifted young women were more than a "hard Rock" group. I feel you could put this rock ballad up against many of the ilk and it will hold it's own.

[@bertg2779]

I love these ladies. po

[@Kalis0420]

Jealous you get to see Band-Maid in Hong Kong, that's going to be one hell of a trip. I got tickets to Babymetal at the Yokohama Arena both nights in March. Counting down the days!

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

This song gives such nostalgic feelings of 90's MTV shows like 120 minutes, Buzz Bin, and Alt-nation Band Maid would have been huge on MTV in the late 90's early 2000's

[@dennisthemenace671]

John , the video was filmed in Taiwan in 2016 , they did Daydreaming in Aug when I saw them in Spokane , Saiki`s voice was amazing that night . have fun in Hong Kong .

[@usagi3919]

I hope you have a wonderful time in Hong Kong and at the concert. Looks like you are going at a good time weatherwise, when I went decades ago it was humid and hot, right in the middle of summer.

[@PaulEngineer]

G'day John. This MV a mid-tempo fan favourite for sure - love the bass and tom work and when you hear that solo come in for the first time - magical.

[@MaidFrenzy]

The intro into this song live at Yokohama is beautiful.

[@Ytf2024]

Great review John, as usual.👍. I’ve got tickets for 10 May to see the Maids at Zepp Haneda Tokyo. First time, can hardly wait.

[@JohnReavesLive]

Dude!!!! I’ll be there too! That’s the one I applied for and I got it so I was like… guess I’m heading back to TOKYO!!

[@Ytf2024]

I’ll be flying in from Melbourne Australia. I’ll look out for you.

[@sheldoncooper8199]

This Song has AMAZING Bass Lines that i didnt even notice the first few Listens a Real Early Band Maid Masterpiece Well not Really early its their 4 th CD but You know what i mean.

[@lewissmith4123]

When I first saw this MV I imagined a conversation like this, Band Maid: We are going to write a ballad, Akane: But I can still slay my drums right ? Awesome news your going to see Band Maid in HK. Looking forward to the log.

[@robwebnoid5763]

One of the Maid's early ballads that are now popular. It has made (or maid) some Maidiacs tear up, over the years, heh.

[@annatarus4396]

Браво, девочки!!! Игра , просто бомба!!! Спасибо!!!👏🎤🎸🥁🎹...!!!👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🦉😄🎇🌹🌹🌹!!! 💃🔥✌️✌️✌️🇹🇩

[@devingalloway2708]

Dreaming in Denver Saiki's voice felt so intimate and personal. I'm in love ❤

[@freewheeler2go]

Just one of their Masterpieces!

[@philcalvino884]

Great commentary on one of Band-Maid's signature songs. Man, so cool that you are going to see the Hong Kong show!

[@ferykeboet5576]

My Favourite band maid song all time

[@sjnix7044]

Top 5 song for me and I actually prefer the studio version here. Not sure I can say that about any other song from them. It is about as perfect a song as you can get.

[@kanou8318]

横浜アリーナのLIVEにLOVEBITESのAsami Haruna Midoriも観に来てたそうですよ。

[@starocean62]

We need no we demand a saiki kanami piano duet of daydreaming just close your eyes and imagine this how beautiful would this be

[@philproffitt8363]

That could be epic ❤

[@Pandafaust11]

Absolutely correct about the space they allow for each other, though I always referred to it as their lack of rock and roll ego.

[@k3w1b3an5]

Love your reaction channel

[@taiyoomaru01]

My favorite guitarsolo

[@СанатТокушев-б4с]

Kanami solo ✨🔥💯🎸

[@神農さんSin-no-san]

They are good shepherds who are devoted to their fans.　🎀🤘🎌

[@ral8452]

this was filmed in taiwan BTW

[@1947dd]

I think I saw that one ruined building on mysteries of the abandoned (Science Channel show)

[@JuanSan66]

Masterpiece.

[@davidtollefson8411]

This song IS perfect.

[@ericifune5543]

If you've seen the Yokohama stream, you saw the gorgeous new Kanami into. Hopefully they play it for you in Hong Kong.

[@IAMisLove]

👍👍and for good measure👍👍!!😊 🖖❤

[@1947dd]

This my #2 song from Band Maid, online Puzzle acoustic ranks above it to me. Enjoyed the reaction and Thanks for the reaction John! (The lyrics are as emotional as the sound of the song)

[@kennogawa6638]

Lucky you going to HK

[@cygnetseven]

You're ready for Wonderland.

[@bertg2779]

Best song this century

[@reneedevry4361]

I am so happy that you will be going to HK to see Bandmaid and Dimash. 🤘🔥🤘 I don't have socials but was hoping that you would please react to Lyric Noel "Carol of The Bells" Metal Version. Thank you❤️ 🥰🥰Hugs from a Canadian Dear🇨🇦

[@sheldoncooper8199]

THE Crazy Part is Saiki was a Model at First Like a Model She had to learn being a Vocalist.

[@MichaelNolen]

5 Soloists playing without "bumping" into each other. Mate, do Band Maiko's " Gion-cho" or "Endless Story" from Conqueror.

[@Kevin6059]

So jealous you're going to Hong Kong to see the maids.

[@Kevin6059]

Should have been one of the most popular songs of its day - in the world. Too bad some people can't get past the language factor.

[@wave8359]

Can only be my faourite.-- Even without Kanami's solo. it would be. But WITH it...................................!

[@Running-withscissors]

Hey John! :) Did you review "Wonderland" LIVE off their channel yet?

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!!!!!

[@avicenna799]

You'll love Hong Kong!

[@motley22crue]

I hope you aren't showing any of the actual Yokohama concert... the archive is still available for purchase.

[@chuckvelten5337]

Put a sock in it. The last week or so. Multiple reactors have been posting fan cams of the song Choose me from the concert in Japan at Yokohama. And no one said anything about it. Like they used to a few years ago. Stop acting like another self-appointed P.R. and legal representation for the group. KZbin whether it be a fan cam or any other posted video from a show. Has helped to grow this band exponentially over the last decade. So stop with the always taking food out of their mouths. The worst part about this group, is the fan base ! A bunch of self-appointed spokespersons for them. If it wasn't for you tube. They would probably still be playing small to medium-sized clubs in Japan only. And never would have been exposed to the masses around the world.

[@motley22crue]

@@chuckvelten5337 The logic of some people baffles me.... the fan cams of "Choose Me" are legit as the band allowed the fans to record that song (and ONLY that song) knowing full well that that the videos would be posted on KZbin... and that is the band's choice on how they want to promote the Yokohama performance. It's funny when someone needs to put words in peoples mouths when they try and make an argument... I never said it was taking food out of their mouths but it could conceivably take money out of their pocket. I never denied that KZbin has played a major part in their success worldwide. I am not a spokesperson for the band but I AM a major fan of the band and I am a big fan of this particular reactor. I love his enthusiasm for the band and the way he promotes the band but if he's showing the full content of something that's still behind a paywall (and that's going to be released as a Blu-ray/DVD), so he can make money off of it, then that's not cool and shouldn't sit well with Band-Maid fans. It's called doing the right thing and showing some respect to a band that he claims to be a fan of. Why not post the whole thing on KZbin and see if the band is ok with it? At least wait until the Blu-ray/DVD is released and has been properly promoted by the band themselves. To @JohnReevesLive... I hope you change your mind. A couple of other reactors did it the right way where they showed their reaction but you have to have an archive ticket to watch along with them.

[@ericifune5543]

The band allowed it, but only for this song. If you went to Yokohama or see the stream, you can see that.

[@ichinov]

🤘🤘🤘

[@wave8359]

Note to other aspiring reacters: ----try developing the respect and generosity of,for eample,, John Reaves and Ryan Mear ,towards the band (it's supposed to be mainly about !).......... Instead of parasitically trying to USE the band to promote your own, --minor-- selves ! BandMaid is NOT there to help reacters boost their own careers !!!!!!!! ....................Show respect for THEM---otherwise forget about getting any from US !

[@ericifune5543]

Hook up with Marshall Lau in Hong Kong if you can.

[@allanmoger1838]

I dunno, I prefer it live about six feet away from Saiki and Miku. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Awesome song.

[@glaubercandidopita]

You going to have any access to the ladies while you are there???

[@vincentwee632]

Wow... you are going to Hong-Kong.... hope to say hello to you over there....
