Legendary Ladies!! | Band-Maid - The Dragon Cries (Official Music Video) | REACTION

[@oooppiikkk]

The only reaction channel I know that starts off with a guy on his seat and could end anywhere on the floor. PLZ MORE BANDMAID

[@dondavi5798]

I think the best thing about the band is how every instrument is clearly heard. the basist, the drumer, lead guitarist.....you can here each one and their not drowned out like sooo many rock songs.

[@vyren2030]

[@svogender]

Yeah..!! They have a great producer..!!! 👍

[@Medley3000]

This song sounds like Led Zeppelin. Awesome!

[@sheldoncooper8199]

@Don Davi You gotto hear their Band Maiko Songs 8 to 9 Instruments and you can hear EVERYTHING They are Gion Cho and Secret Maiko Lips

[@outwest1014]

Miku and Saiki flew to NYC to work with producer Tony Visconti (David Bowie & T Rex) to recored the vocals. In January interviews in Japan they said Visconti was very nice to them and they enjoyed NYC. Saiki said one difference was that when changes were made to the song, they sang the entire song again vs just doing the changed part as in Japan. She also said Visconti before making a change he would ask if they thought it would okay with Kanami. Akene, Kanami, and MISA flew in later for their 2 NYC concerts which Visconti attended. This song gets better every time I hear it. Hope they work with him again. I would love to have been there for their entire visit especially when Visconti met Kanami!!

[@fernandoloya6325]

I remember Miku bringing up on stage his rare Zemitis and show it off to the crowd awesome I love Miku small pigeon so kawaii ❤❤❤❤❤

[@freewheeler2go]

Yep!!! Stumbled across my first Band Maid video 4 days ago. I ... can ....not ... get ... enough. Soaking up all their videos. Simply amazing. Their talent is incredible. Their songs are mesmerizing. And they rock harder than just about everybody at the moment. I sincerely hope they do a US tour - SOON! I have already ordered several of their studio albums. This group is LEGIT!

[@m.a7473]

This is what I gathered from multiple interviews. The lyrics of this song was written by Thomas Kenney who introduced Band Maid to Tony Visconti. Tony got interested and offered them to produce a song. Miku thought somebody was trying to con them but just in case sent a demo to Tony anyway, and Tony replied, ‘Lets do it’ so they recorded the instrument parts in Japan, then Saiki and Miku flew to NY to record vocal parts with Tony. Result is this song. According to Miku’s account, Tony was very nice to girls to the point they felt they were visiting relatives’ grandfather. Tony apparently thrifted a lot of pre-recorded sound tracks to the point he had to ask Miku if Kanami would be mad at him. Miku told Tony ‘there would be absolutely no problem.” Kanami later stated although melody was changed, core of her music was left totally untouched and she felt she got a seal of approval from the world top level producer. Tony later visited their live shows in NY, both shows, just like any grandpa would do.

[@RobinC63]

Thanks for this background info.

[@sacluvsBM]

@@RobinC63 one important fact. No one seems to know who Thomas Kenny is. He is not listed on ASCAP or any other listing of professional singer / singwriters. He belongs to no Union or any other musicians' representative organization and no one can produce a photo of this guy. None of this means he doesn't exist it just means he can't be found anywhere. He would literally have to be just a regular guy off the street who can't be tracked down and who just happened to write a song Band-Maid approved of. Also Tony Visconti has used pseudonyms on previous songs produced like listing John Lennon as Winston O'boogey on the Bowie tune Fame. Would be nice if someone could definitively find Mr. Kenny.

[@m.a7473]

@@sacluvsBM You are right. the only reference to Thomas Kenny that I could find was in Tony Visconti's own Facebook page when he talked about "Conqueror" album release sometime in November, as "My good Friend". Then Miku and Saiki mentioned Tom-san and Tony-san were both present at the time of the recording. So I was assuming he must be real.

[@m.a7473]

By the way, Kobato just announced that they will be performing at Budoh-kan, a year from now. That venue houses 14000. This is huge.

[@monocyte2210]

@@m.a7473 its every japanese band's dream to play in Budokan. its like the madison square garden of the US

[@tifosinh]

This song was killer. First time I'm hearing it is right here. Reacting with you brother. So good!

[@fatboynick4104]

Thanks to you reacting to this band, I am now into Band-Maid. These gals bring it big time. Recently, I found another all-female Japanese metal band called Lovebites. You can hear they are heavily influenced by old school metal and power metal. The first song I heard by them is The Crusade - Battle In the East live. It's got an Iron Maiden vibe going on. I think you will get into them as much as Band-Maid.

[@crackerican69]

Lovebites, Bridear (second favorite behind Band-Maid), Doll$Boxx, Scandal, Aldious. The list goes on and on!

[@1957akash]

As they said in recent interview, this is the slowest BAND-MAID song ever. they also say like "We couldn't do this slow song untill now. We've grown". If you sing or play any instrument, you know that just playing slow is easy, but playing slow song good is not easy.

[@lawrenceflower8418]

This is not Heavy Metal or even Hard Rock. It’s 70’s Heavy Rock. Thank you Band Maid.

[@rossmudie9298]

See reminds me of 'black sabbath' and its awesome 🤘🤘, so i agree 70's totally 100% and it's cool as hell. 😂

[@blackyvertigo]

I agree. Japan is bringing it back to the best eras for rock and this band needs more exposure and recognition.

[@POWER-LINKS]

Here was my post to some idiotic comment elsewhere here: Remember, not all of Mozart's paintings were masterpieces. But all of their music is straight off of 70's Rock Radio. I have proof. (he is now very confused.) lol

[@rossmudie9298]

@@POWER-LINKS i'm fkin confused too now 😅🤔😳

[@RobinC63]

I first played in a Rock band in the 70's and I totally agree with you. The first time I heard this song it took me right back there.

[@ToObs75]

Woooooo YES, i absolutely LOVE your Band Maid reactions. They're the fkin best man!! I still cannot believe you didn't do 'Rinne' (Reincarnation) yet, you're missiiiing out, duuude. You're gonna lose your shit! Also 'Puzzle' live, 'Moratorium' live, 'Take me higher' live, the list goes on, I can't wait for you to discover these songs.

[@vlastik]

Band-Maid is getting better and better!

[@jamessoda8915]

I definitely love the bluesy feel to the song. I haven't heard a bad one yet from them. So talented. My reaction is the same as yours every time I hear a new song from them. Ya gotta love em'.

[@Medley3000]

As I said before ハニー (Honey) is Band-Maid's most underrated song. It is a diamond in the rough. Akanes drum work in the 2nd half of the song is unprecedented.

[@sacluvsBM]

Not their song but they made it their own by improving on the original about 100x. Much of the drumming is double tracked but it is all Hirose Akane. Studio release of Screaming is also off the hook.

[@mattbrown9631]

I have put "Reincarnation" in the comments of every video you have done for BAND-MAID, and will continue to do so until you do a reaction to it.

[@labo3326]

すんげー喜んじゃてる このヒゲおやじwwww サウンドとあかねちん ドンピシャなんだねww

[@hahaman7211]

Secret my lips, Puzzle, alone and Moratorium are some of my favorite from Band Maid. I would recommend those songs( live performance of course ) if you want to do another band maid reaction.👍👍

Dude they're great live aswell seen them in amsterdam and london! Worth every penny plus they have great merchandise!

I bet it would only take one hand to count the number of videos that MISA is wearing shoes. Reminds me of The Cars song, Let's Go. "She's so beautiful now, she doesn't wear her shoes."

nice to see you Mr.rock'n roll I recommend you "moratoritm live“

[@ericagarcia742]

Take me higher live

[@jimmyj7816]

As a few others have said on here, your next band from Japan to check out should be Lovebites. The song that amazed me was Edge of the World- Battle in the East Live. The song starts off slow then kicks up the tempo, similar to the pace of Nightwish-Ghost Love Score. Their music mostly sounds like metal from the late 80's/early 90's and their two guitarists can shred. Check it out!

[@Tomo-nyan]

BAND-MAID最高だよね✨

[@me262talon2]

Thanks Brah!

[@dlokazip]

"Reincarnation" should be your next reaction video, but the title is in Japanese. So, when you search for it, it appears like this: BAND-MAID / 輪廻

[@mikometal4882]

Already suggested him ! Moratorium too!

[@kanyon7613]

Moratorium live or Puzzle live next!

no cure bro when u obsessed with band maid...like me

[@Sniper2sword]

Bubble has a killer guitar riff

[@SagaciousTwo]

I just bought the Conqueror album, and I have been warped. I don't think you have reacted to the final song on the album yet, Reincarnation. The video is shot like an old home movie, and the bass just carries the whole song.

[@Medley3000]

This song sounds like Led Zeppelin. Awesome!

[@eulhmodel1129]

for more great music from japan i would recommend you to check out wagakki band - Ikusa or Senbonzakura you will not be disappointed

[@Kmudaify]

What left her...... is the destruction of the planet. The "Dragon" is Mother Earth watching what humanity is doing to it.... and itself. Our "fun band" just dropped a dose of reality on us.

You’ve reacted to most of their best stuff so far but one you really need to see is Moratorium live.

I was hoping you reach to this i saw it a few hours when it drop i dropped too loved it and seeing you reach are just great

lol, you're rolling on the floor and I'm just like umm, yeah

[@todd3.064]

Very tasty, it brought a tear to me eye. And did you notice? The song is in English!

[@HeckinMoonMoon]

X Japan!!! They are an 80s rock/metal band from Japan with a MASSIVE following outside of the States. Please try Art of Life (live in 1993). Its a 30min song so I understand if you dont, but you're missing out. It's an absolute masterpiece! Other, shorter, songs to try are Kurenai, Jade, X, or Silent Jealosy. Trust me, these guys are masters and the drummer is a BEAST. Even Gene Simmons from Kiss said that if they spoke English natively, they would be the biggest band in the world.

[@ArchImperatrix]

Suggestion: BRATS - "どうだってよかった (Doudatte yokatta)", "決まりごと (Kimarigoto) LIVE."

[@thedocofrock1890]

i've got 3 band maid tshirts-but i only wear them in the summer so i can advertise the group-they are still relatively unknown in western mass.where i live which is hard to believe because we have a vibrant music scene here-lots of colleges around here and has been ahead of the curve on the new music since the mid 60's-yeah i'm that old-also printed a LARGE online photo displayed in the back window of my van. but i know hard rock is your passion like mine- i have to suggest a new japanese band to check out-they are called ironbunny and they have 3 very cute female vocalists kinda like babymetal only hard rock instead-eddiee ironbunny claims to be a 23rd century cyborg where rock has died and he came back in time to share his amazing shreddability with the world.when you see the body armor he wears you will know what he means. all three girls are killer vocalists and their harmony will blow you away-try a song called lightning speed featuring doug aldrich from the dead daisies.you will love them-i guaranrtee it! other songs to check out are 23 and e.i.b.-give 'em a shot

[@huntspoint]

My man!!!! Their new album is AMAZING (duh!) like all their other albums! This particular song is unique in every way from all the other songs they have! Very groovy! Keep up the ALWAYS excellent job with the channel! I suggest you go check out HEADBANGERRRR by BABYMETAL (if you haven’t already) take care man! 🤘🏻
