Band-Maid is incredible. I don't say they are just the best girls' band. I don't say they are just the best Japanese band. They are the best rock band in the world in at least 30 years. Thank you for introducing them.

To ALL of Japan- Thank you for saving rock and roll. Invented in America, upgraded by Britain, and now perfected by Band Maid. This 72 yr old States dude loves Japan and all things about it was very fortunate to travel there many times on biz.

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad that there are people like you. From a 52-year-old Japanese man. Of course, I'm also a maidiac.
Yeah only Miku Kobato worked in the Maid cafes lol :) It was her idea for the Maid look juxtaposed to their sound. Saiki and Misa (bass) weren't sold on the idea completely :) Kanami and Akane were fine with it. They are very popular overseas - Kanami writes incredibly good rock music. Best band I've heard in 40 years. Travelling to Japan next year to see them. Can't wait.

BAND MAID取り上げてくれてありがとう。女性バンドのファンとしてはものすごくうれしい。でも、美しいヘビメタバンドLOVE BITESもおねがい!
@umedake-papa. Not just Band-Maid, but many other great bands/artists from Japan. Yes, Band-Maid is a great gateway for the uninitiated or those new to Japanese music, but one mustn't stop at Band-Maid alone, great as they are. Much as I love Band-Maid, I don't listen to them on a daily basis. I've never been a one band, artist, or genre type of person. There's a multitude of different sounds coming from Japan beyond just the Hard Rock stylings of Band-Maid. Never limit yourself to one band, artist, or genre. Otherwise, one's view or definition of music will become far too narrow.✌️❤️🤘

I have seen Band-Maid play live in the USA 9 times. I drove between 4 and 10 hours each time. Band-Maid puts on a great show!
When I fell in love with Band-Maid, it was not because of them being all female, Japanese or the maid uniforms. That was never a factor. What made me love Band-Maid was music only. I was not surprised about women playing instrument on a high technical skill. I was surprised in finding hard rock that I liked. I have a weakness for good drummers that play aggressive, and it was the powerful double bass play that made me extra interested in Band-Maid. That is what surprised me the most, hard rock with metal drums. I totally ignored their looks at first, didn't interest me. Only my ears paid attention.

@@madsstavang Thanks for explaining. Only my ears paid attention. I agree with you. I also like powerful, high-energy live performances! I like to change VERSE and BRIDGE!

All female bands from the west... well back in the 20th century there were the Go Gos (They Got The Beat), The Bangles (Walk Like an Egyptian), The Runaways (Cherrybomb). The Runaways was Joan Jett's first band FYI. Also about Band-Maid... only Miku was the one who worked in a Maid cafe. She is the founder of the band and used her experience in the cafe for the band's concept. Also, Band-Maid is not a corporate created band. Miku found Kanami, who brought in Akane, who brought in MISA. Saiki was tricked into joining the band.
花冷え。だけだけどね、それなりに海外のメタルファンに認知されてるのは。花冷え。のSpotifyでの月刊リスナーはBand-Maidの1.7倍、LovebitesとNemophilaの12倍。加えてファンの半分くらいが日本人であるこれらのバンドに対し、花冷え。のファンはほとんどが外国人なので、花冷え。の海外ファンの数は、Band-Maidの2.6倍、LovebitesとNemophilaの18倍くらいはいると思われる。しかも、花冷え。ファンのほとんどはバンドメンバーと同世代だし、女性も沢山いるし、子供もいるので、明るい将来が約束されたも同然。一方、他の3つのバンドはファンの年齢が高い。特にLovebitesとNemophilaの海外ファンの大多数はおっさん。女性は全然いない。Metal Hammerが花冷え。を「The future of Japanese metal」と評したのも納得。日本のガールズバンドの中で将来本当の意味で世界で活躍するのは花冷え。であり、他は大して活躍しないと思う。
邦楽、紅一点の女性ボーカルも多いので、次は紅一点特集はいかが? REBECCA、シーナ&ロケッツ、TOM CAT、BARBEE BOYS、DREAMS COME TRUE、PERSONS、LINDBERG、戸川純とヤプーズ PEARL、ELT、globe、東京事変、いきものがかり、ジェニーハイ、My Little Lover、superfly etc…

I knew I recognized Yana from Austria. She did many SCANDAL covers and she has a nice voice. I’m happy that you all did a reaction to these all female Japanese rock bands, especially BAND-MAID. You have many other great all female Japanese rock bands to discover or to highlight on your channel: Gacharic Spin, DOLL$BOXX, Otoboke Beaver, Chilli Beans., HANABIE., SILENT SIREN, East Of Eden, KOIAI, NEMOPHILA, LETITOUT-lelia-, NEK!, Haze, Ave Mujica, RAISE A SUILEN, MyGO!!!!!, TOGENASHI TOGEARI, TRiDENT and of course Kessoku Band 😏
Just a correction on how Band Maid came to be. Miku Kobato, red rose, worked in a maid cafe and won an idol competition, after that group broke up she wanted to sing cool songs, not cute songs, she mentioned this to her management and they put out a recruitment notice. Miku found Kanami on the web playing her own songs, Kanami knew Akane, who knew Misa. After a short while Miku realised her voice was not strong enough for lead vocals and Saiki was recruited. Only Miku ever worked at a maid cafe and they never rehearsed after work. Miku designed the original costumes and over the years each member has developed their own style. Cluppo is a solo project of Miku's. It is Kanami the lead guitarist, PRS, who likes Saiki. Keep listening to Band Maid they will change your life for the better !
Jojoのエンディングで”Walk Like an Egyptian"が使われていたようで、アニメファンが結構詳しかったりする。

I'm so happy to see many people talking about Band-Maid. I am aware that the background information isn't exactly correct, but it's not that important compared to the music itself. Btw Sai-chan also sings in soft, feminine voice. I love her soft singing voice as well.❤
世界で有名になるのはBand-Maidより花冷え。です。花冷え。のSpotifyの月間リスナーはBand-Maidの1.6倍くらいだし、おそらくファンの半分くらいが日本人であるBand-Maidに対し、花冷え。ファンのほとんどは外国人です。つまり、花冷え。の海外ファンは既にBand-Maidの海外ファンの最低2倍以上います。しかもLimp Bizkit, While She Sleepsなどの大物のサポートもしましたし、今年はJinjerのサポートもします。Yoasobiと共に出場するロラパルーザでは、メインステージにトッパーとして出場します。日本人がメインステージに出場するのはX Japan以来ということです。

楽しかったです。第2段も期待したいです。他にもLOVEBITES、NEMOPHILA、花冷え、EAST OF EDEN 、KOIAI、HAGANE等挙げればきりがないほど沢山ありますから。日本のガールズバンドは筋肉質な表現に走らず、鋭利な刃のような切れ味を感じさせてくれるとこが大好きです😊
Ohrenje has made documentaries about Miku Kobato and some of the other members of Band Maid. If you would like to know the details of how the band’s beginnings.
Thanks for reviewing Band Maid! 🕊️ °. • Miku Kobato (PO!) was the one who started the band. She was in an idol group that didn't take off, but she didn't give-up on being in a band. She went to Tokyo and attended school (I'm not clear on the details) but worked in a maid cafe - of that I'm sure) She kept her desire to be in a band alive and finally took action by approaching Kanami, their lead guitar player whom she found online where she uploaded videos of her guitar playing. Kanami said yes and had no problem with wearing a maid outfit because she wore one in high school in a girl band she played in while there. Kanami knew Akane, the drummer through a friend and even played with her in a trio at one time Akane joined and was friends with Misa, who played bass and, as fate would have it, she had just finished a run with a band she had been in. She wasn't sure at first when asked, and she wanted some time to think about it. In the end, she joined. This new group - Band-Maid" played their first live show as a quartet on July 24, 2013 at the PP Band Audition at Otsuka Deepa. Miku began to understand that her voice was not "rock enough" for the sound she wanted as she stated in an interview later on, so now they were on the lookout for a new front woman Their agency informed them that they had just signed a new singer and she might be a good fit.. That singers name was Saiki ) Their first performance as a five-piece was at the P Festival at Shibuya-AX on August 22, 2013 And the rest as they say, is history! 🎴 🕊️ ° .
It’s a pity that the video doesn’t include the group “Lovebites”, you need to take a separate look at the reaction to this group, they have a strong vocalist with a unique tone of voice 😢

Band-Maid just collaberated with The Warning & they performed it live in Mexico. Such an epic performance as ladies even swapped solo parts!! 🤘🙀🔥
