Perfectly stated Dixa1. That resonates with so many of us. Especially all us older 'audiophiles'.

So happy you got tickets! This band is so good!

[@jerremylazy]

my reaction while watching your reaction is like " yeah, yup, yes, exactly". i feel you and thank you.

[@JuanSan66]

Great job!!. Very interesting comments. It´s truth that the girls seem to be allergic to repeating things. Riffs, more riffs, and more riffs. Crazy. No one leaves their bass player as free as this band. MISA is an escapist, always crossing lines with the rest of the instruments (including the voices), always original and in her own way but always for the song and for the band. Congratulations on attending their Seattle concert! From The Old Europe we are a little jealous this year....

[@schelin1447]

Congrats on getting a ticket!! Make sure you stand to the left (stage right) to see MISA in full glory! 😉

[@RudiTheMan]

Okay, about that English words mixed in, there's two stories about them, 1. Is what Miku says, she wanted everyone to be able sing with them some parts of the song when they are live with everyone, so she mixed in some non Japanese words, 2, it's to make the song flow perfectly, most Japanese pop rock songs does that, it's so that the song lyrics flow with the tune perfectly and keeping the catchiness and some words has to be English as it's Japanese counterpart sounds very different and may not mix well with the flow,

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

Yes on the first part, not entirely sure on the 2nd part. It's not inherently a thing in all Jrock. It's just that in Japan English is...well...frankly it's just seen as cool lol. We also have A LOT of words taken from other languages. Like Ramen. We even call toilets..well toilets (トイレToire) but have our own word for urinals who may still use it for toilets in general depending on generation. So to say its used because of "song flow" I wouldn't say. Not being a musician I wouldn't know but being Japanese I can say that English has been used in Japanese since WW2 and have loan words from other languages from even before.

[@falconsooner]

@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 I would have to find it but pretty sure Miku said that sometimes English is used for song flow due to the elongated notes some English words have.

[@Badllamah]

She has said that when working on the lyrics, and working with Saiki, sometimes the Japanese word(s) just don't work for either the sound or the note she wants her to hit. That is why the English words are sometimes a bit "scattered" around. That and what was posted earlier as well. I know I heard a lot of people singing Hunky-Dory Day on Sunday... LOL

[@surfingasongwave]

@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 Would it be correct to say, since the Meiji Restoration, many western norms have been adopted into the Japanese way of life: like suits and dresses instead of kimono and hakama, baseball, rock music, and so on. Which is interesting because I just went to an art exhibit of French Impressionist portraits and they often included Japanese ceramics and textiles in the backgrounds of their pictures "because it was fashionable to have Japanese items in your house" in the 1880s, and the French Impressionists really liked the Japanese sense of abstraction and simplicity in their arts and crafts.

[@Glenner7]

@@falconsooner Plus the fact that Miku likes to use English words that sound like Japanese words, and vice-versa. I believe she also likes to keep things vague.

[@jkkansasband7056]

You always remember your first. So DICE is it for me. Band-Maid started their US tour on Sunday and will be here thru 11/01. The synergy, energy and FUN vibes are a Band-Maid hallmark. A more Awesome current band I have not found. Peace.

[@mjelks4227]

"Slaughter of notes", my new favorite saying.

[@bryandevito5120]

To answer your English/Japanese question, Miku writes for world domination. When that is achieved, you will be forced to learn all the lyrics verbatim. The English parts are to make it easier to for you to succumb to their control. She’s an evil yet benevolent genius.

[@crabuki1273]

That's tongue in cheek, of course, but it's also 100% correct.

[@surfingasongwave]

Re: your question about the opening vocals for "Different" - these two songs were not back-to-back during the online stream. These were selected for J-LOD (which was a government program to bolster businesses that depend on in-person attendance during Covid). They needed a live performance longer than five minutes, so they put these two songs from their May 10th live stream. They often get the opening pitches and tempo through their in-ear monitors, though. "Choose Me" has the same problem, how to start together, in tempo and on pitch.

[@skamikazeko]

I'll be there too! Glad you got tickets.

[@_DriveTime]

They played Domination, Dice, and Different in their Japan shows. I suspect Different may get swapped out for something they think might be more popular with Americans. But since you're at the first US show, no idea what they may dust off. I'm going to 3 on the tail end of the tour.

[@Zero_Wind]

Hello. I don't consider myself a language expert or anything like that, but in recent decades the Japanese language has incorporated many foreign words and terms, especially in the entertainment industry (music and anime). It is clear that globalization has played a vital role in this and many of these terms/words may have been adopted because they were 'easy to remember' or simply 'sounded good'. However, there is an additional reason why it is common in the Japanese music industry to hear words in another language (such as English or German) or phrases that can simply be hummed (you know, the classic "na, na-na, na -na, na-na") and that's how the songs are closer to those who don't speak Japanese. In fact, the members of Band-Maid explicitly mentioned that topic in an interview a long time ago. And yes they are right, because if you or I were at one of their concerts and they play Domination, it is almost certain that we will at least sing the "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello~". Regards ^^

[@DoctorMcHerp]

Tony reacting to Band-Maid again? It's an instant click for me.

[@Graad]

It's funny what you say at the end of the video about becoming a musician or starting playing an instrument. :D I have been a drummer for more than 20 years and been listening to Band-Maid for about 1 year now. I have bought a bass one month ago, because of Misa. Even if I have thinking about buying one for the last 15 years, she is the one who changed everything.

If you have the time of your life and want to see them again I still have a couple of extra tickets to the east coast shows (DC, Philly, NYC, Boston) 😜 I'm always so psyched for your reactions, along with Champ, Wave, Ryan, and a few other musician reactors, it really helps me work through not just "that" I love these songs, but "why" I love these songs. Even though I have no musical talent or knowledge... I could listen to you guys geek out for days.

[@paulread4886]

As a musician this shocked me. The complexity of bass and drums would get simplified by most western producers. Japan demands complexity, and giving the audience the same thing again in a verse is considered an insult to the listener. Band Maid sometimes even the choruses music will change each time. As for speed, some Japanese I spoke to when I was in Tokyo, bluntly referred to western rock as Sleeping Cow Music. hahaha. Checkout Freedom live for a hot drum solo. Tokyo is the new Seattle for hard rock .

[@willsenay]

I THOUGHT OF A GOOD ONE. Made in Abyss - Hanezeve Caradhina. Literally the entire OST for Made in Abyss is a masterpiece but this one is just gorgeous. Kevin Penkin is one of the most talented composers in the game. Dude won the anime award for best score in 2017 for this anime and another best score in 2020 for a different show. Oh yeah, and he has background composing for full orchestras.

Towards the end, you mentioned that young musicians should look to them for inspiration Unfortunately their fan base seems to be all middle aged men, at least in this country. Many of the other reactors who love them are musicians, such as yourself. It is the opposite of earlier rock n roll, where the bands were adult males, and their audience were screaming girls in their teens. Somehow I think so many twenty and thirty somethings are missing out on one of the greatest bands out there.

The music starts with Kanami, and goes thru back & forth with band members on their respective parts. Saiki has final say on versions, enough, let's move on. One comment from Kanami gives a hint to why their complexity works. To paraphrase, she "saw" Saiki's vocal line mesh with the instrumental line. Did she mean "saw", or just an expression?

[@greylocke100]

Not always, MISA wrote the demo for one of the songs on Unleash! then sent it to Kanami to start finishing it up. And MISA wrote both the bass line AND the lead guitar before she sent it to Kanami. Which makes me wonder if the rumor of MISA being seen test driving several Schecter 7 string guitars in a Tokyo music store is true.

[@surfingasongwave]

Re: "Different" - this was the opening for season three of the anime "Log Horizon". The producers requested something chaotic, so Kanami offered five (if I recall) demos to the producers and they chose this one; the most chaotic of them all. As you said, the parts all fit together so tightly, but it is far more organized than it appears at first glance. It's a little like taking the back off of a Swiss watch.

[@DrumRollTonyReacts]

Great analogy

[@PixelisedPaul]

Hope you enjoy the show. You’ll find that they cram so much into the show that they just flow from one track into the next. Hopefully they might do some differently arranged intros too as they’ve done that before. Just make sure you take it all in as it flies past in a blur!

[@surfingasongwave]

Re: "Dice" - one of my favorite Band-Maid songs and one of the reasons I decided they are definitely a cut above the typical band of *any* genre. You mentioned how they alter things when you'd typically just repeat what you'd already played - maybe they're just easily bored and keep mixing it up to stay interested, I dunno. Some musicians will ask "How do they remember all this" but in some strange way maybe it's easier to remember where you are in the song when *EVERY* phrase is different. MISA is one of my favorite bassists ever, and compares favorable to anybody else. It's not so much that she's technically overwhelming but like you said, it's more like "I'd never have thought of that." But once you've heard it, you can't think of a better way of playing it.

[@technopsychobedlam]

Different is a musical riot. Love it 🙂

[@elevown]

Shame you didnt do the MVs - i think they are a lot better than the lives for these 2 songs- mainly the balance is off- and they are a bit simplified. Difference especially suffers from the lead being too quiet- its a very hectic song and when the instruments are not all clear it muddies the song up. I like Dice a lot more than different.

Great reaction! Someone said "This is a musician's band". I think Kanami's play/compose style is sometimes mixed up with the classical music phrases, perhaps. It maybe one of the reason they sounds so unique. Also, in the recent interview, Misa mentioned she's creating her bass part with using also piano and Akane mentioned she put all the drum score in her head before playing. btw, Justin Hawkins had the same serious face (maybe confused as he wasn't expecting that sound came out from those maid outfit girls) when he first listened to "Dice", like you, lol.

[@stevehall5128]

MISA said in a recent interview that she will get a demo from Kanami in the morning and have the bassline written by the end of the day. The mind boggles. They have all begun writing their parts on a keyboard and/or in a DAW to avoid repeating themselves by falling into muscle- memory habits on their instruments. So they write their own parts but _then_ still have to learn them 😵

[@bishopsteiner7134]

Thanks for another great reaction and analysis, I always learn so much from your videos. I find Band Maid really inspiring when it comes to musical arrangement, I just lack the knowledge/time/energy to try and apply it. Other priorities in life and all that. Other people touched on this but yeah, English loan words are common in Japan and end up in music a lot. We use a lot of loan words in English, too, we're used to it so it doesn't stand out to us. Sublime worked a lot of Spanish into their lyrics, for example, and tons of words we use all the time are actually French, stuff like that. So it's not that surprising when you think about it, we're just seeing it in a different context. Does that make sense?

Lol, brother when you asked if Different was different from Dice I started laughing. I knew you were in a for a punch in the face. Enjoy the show, wish I could be there. BBQ'ing in Lynnwood this weekend, steaks on the grill. If you get hungry point your rig north. Have a killer week.

Its very normal to have english words and sentences mixed in the japanese lyrics, besides Band Maid, Gaspharic Spin, Nemophila do that also frequently

[@omdtdz]

Just a correction it's Gacharic Spin, not trying to be the spelling police, but if someone came across your comment and typed in Gaspharic in to KZbin without the Spin the first result is for a review of tobacco LOL.Just want to make sure more people discover the great band that is Gacharic Spin. Tony really needs to react to MineSet from them.

In the past English phrases were used to make the song sounds 'cool' now bands do it where English fits the rhythm better...I think.

[@omdtdz]

@@Davey-Boyd LOL I messed up on my correction FAIL.

[@Davey-Boyd]

@@omdtdz Lol! I screw up all the time!

[@sammyboykin5624]

While most "reactors" bug the shit out of me constantly stopping to say, "Wow. That was so cool!" with absolutely no musical insight, your pausing doesn't bother me at all because as a musician, I can tell you know what the fuck you're talking about. You are by far the best and I really appreciate your channel.

[@makmiskell3733]

Thanks Tony! Great per usual. "Dice" the Music Video not by much.

[@ericifune5543]

In Japan, as well as the rest of the world, a lot of English words have entered the lexicon. Even when there are perfectly good local words.

[@mikazukiaugust2378]

Please react 'from now on' , instrumental track from band maid

After Miku had learned to play the guitar to a level, Kanami told her that this song was going to be her test song. Remember, Miku is having to sing as well.
