MUSICIANS REACT Band Maid - GLORY (REACTION)

[@adilsonfernando1754]

Boys, I'm an old rocker, I've seen live Black Sabbath, Rush, Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Dio, Iron Maiden, Sepultura, Ramones, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Queen, Slayer, Satriani and many other bands , these 5 angels were sent to refresh the world rock scene, it will be a privilege to be able to see them live someday, continue the trip, I guarantee you will be rewarded, UP THE MAIDS, Congrats from Brazil.

[@dicodec]

That's amazing! We love all those bands. We completely agree with you. We are super hyped to continue with our Band-Maid reactions. Thank you so much! -Eric

Now that I have BAND-MAID on speed dial, I called them to ask which of their songs you should react to next & they replied " Take me higher" Okyuji Tour 2017. Can't disappoint the ladies.

[@dicodec]

If it is for them we will do it! -Eric

[@IamStrangreen]

The drummer (Akane) is the fan of Maximum the Hormone, specifically of the drummer Nao. The others members are fan of different artists: Saiki (Vo) is fan of Namie Amuro (a J-pop singer); Miku (Gt/Vo) is fan of enka music (traditional japanese music) and Tokyo Jihen (another good band, it's more progressive and a little jazzy than BD); MISA (Ba) is fan of Paz Lenchantin and Smashing Pumpkins; Kanami (Gt) is fan of Santana.

Quite a wide variety of influences. No wonder it sounds amazing when they all come together! -Eric

Seems old to you whipperschnappers, but the band is now 7yrs old (were you in middle school?), they were 24-25-26-26/27-27 in this vid, and only 19-20-21-21-22 when they formed mid 2013

Check out their song Blooming. Has the best effin' guitar solo.

[@dicodec]

MV or Live? People have been pretty mixed on that one. -Eric

[@realdocloco]

@@dicodec MV for Blooming (there's no live version available now, except on their recent Shibuya Bluray)

[@ajchien]

Dicodec second vote for the blooming mv here. Kick ass guitar solo plus they’ll harmonize and differentiate their main and backup vocals for you on that one. FWIW, I think Miku Kobato is an awesome backup vocalist. She can sound either just like or completely different from Saiki the main vocalist, plus she can do both a lower and higher register. In general their “pro shot” live concert videos are better than the official mvs because they tend to lengthen and modify their song intros and solos for concerts.

[@dicodec]

@ShikataGaNai100 We go based on what the majority says. So far the majority have been Band-Maid request. I apologize if we haven't gotten to your request yet please be patient with us. If you're sending links in the comments youtube puts them in another tab for review. Best solution would be to just send us the link on social media. I make it an effort to write down every single request. We put the ones most frequent ones on the top of the list. We all work day jobs as well so doing multiple videos weekly is pretty difficult. Again we apologize we will try to get to all request we just didn't expect to get hit with so many at the same time. -Eric

[@sergioyamamoto5861]

The live performances everybody raves about are part of the DVD included as a bonus in their third single under a major label titled "STAR OVER". As it was included on the limited edition version of the single I don't know if you can still get it. If don't mind "alternative" sources, a quick search for "Band Maid Live Zepp Tokyo" will lead you to a few...

[@dicodec]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@dicodec]

So it seems you don’t know how monetization works. Every view off of here goes directly to them. We get no part of it at all, when you register music the agency collect royalties even for live performances. So If somebody put up a live performance of our song we would get the money. -Alan

[@fernandonovo6149]

Of the 90+ songs by Band-Maid there is no Screaming, Grunting, or gibberish.....just plain old Singing!..... and great music

you guys reactions are great. a bit different to others since you guys react all differently, sometimes it matches to one of my thoughts about this band which i am not really familiar with. and often your opinions clashes and becomes chaos but you all get back into the video. seems like were sharing ideas or more like having a conversation. or am i just going crazy in this quarantine. anyways nice video!

[@dicodec]

Agreed

[@brettmarlar4154]

They're all in their mid-to-late 20's. Miku and Saiki have a nearly identical range. But Saiki has more power and a bit darker, rasppier, timbre. Having two nearly identical voices did wonders for Alice in Chains. Lane and Jerry's voices were nearly indistinguishable from each other.

[@dicodec]

It's not a bad thing at all. It's cool that they can keep up with eachother vocally.

[@topographic1973ify]

You really do need to hear RINNE (Reincarnation). I don't know if KZbin will pull off the link or not so I'm listing it above.

[@dicodec]

If it's a music video I don't think it'll be too hard to find. A live video might haha. -Eric

[@_JimS]

They have some of the best use the lo-fi on their vocals. They also don't fake and lip vocals. Doing a fly-by listen-to it's easy to hear the same voice, but when you've listened to many hours of Band-Maid you'll pick up the difference in their voices. Good reaction, keep the F-bombs to a minimum and remember ...... バンドメイドロックス!

[@dicodec]

Ah I see, we've only heard a few of their studio recordings. So still getting familiarized with them. The rest were live where their vocals are more pronounced and we could tell the difference. We will try but no promises. -Eric

[@cyberpotato63]

I can hear both Saiki and Miku's vocals throughout, but there are a lot of effects on it.

[@dicodec]

It's a studio recording so it would be weird if they didn't have effects on their vocals. The mix was pretty darn good overall. -Eric

[@cyberpotato63]

@@dicodec I have actually gotten used to the effects on their studio songs. I was one of many who got interested in their live work first. Didn't care for the studio production. This was 2017 before their video concerts were out and you had to pick your way through audience recordings. It was actually kind of funny at first. There was those cute small gals on stage and you would see the backs of the balding heads of middle aged western men up front diggin' it. I laughed at myself for fitting the profile.

[@armynurseboy]

No Eric, Miku sings her own vocals. They just have similar range and timbre to their voices (although Saiki's voice is a tad lower and a bit deeper).

[@dicodec]

Ah I see. It sounded pretty similar so I assumed....my bad. -Eric

[@tombworld9012]

@@dicodec The thing to remember is that Saiki's voice has greater power and Miku's voice has a larger range. Saiki sometimes has to put a lot of effort (not going to say she has difficulty, per se) into really high notes, but Miku does both high and low harmony, whatever the song requires. Sometimes her notes are so low it's almost like she's just talking conversationally, but it really fills in the vocal space well.

[@andyray9]

@@dicodec - Although Saiki clearly sings lead vocals, the band considers Miku and Saiki as "twin vocals".

If you're talking about the scene where 'Saiki' takes off Saiki's VR headset, those are actually Kanami's hands. There's a behind the scenes photo out there somewhere that shows Kanami dressed up in Saiki's costume (she probably jumped at the chance) for the filming of this video.

Well, friends, your friendly French otter is here to make a suggestion for a future reaction. I see you're reacting to a lot of Japanese metal, such as Band-Maid and Maximum the Hormone. I'd like to offer you some sort of change of pace. I'd like to suggest two songs by a FRENCH metal band, heavily influenced by manga, Japanese culture, and hip-hop. Let me introduce you to Rise of the Northstar. And I'd LOVE to see you react to their live version of their songs 'Nekketsu' and 'Kozo', from their show in Paris in May 2019. Please note that they sing in English, but live performance and heavy French accent might render understanding quite difficult ^^. (Please also note that I was front row in the audience at this show, so I can assure you even more that it was totally awesome) Cheers from your Friendly French Otter, Roger.

This ranks way down the list. They have no bad tracks....but, they have a couple three dozen tracks that are better. Remember the 'live' comments? If you got this from the comments it was a bad steer. There are like three music videos worth watching, Dice, Blooming, and Rinne.

[@steppingstone6643]

Absolutely agree. I would add Choose me to the list of better on MV. Perhaps also Non Fiction Days. There are also a lot of really good songs that don't seem to have an MV or a good live version: Flying High, Shake That, Fate, I can' t live without you, Freezer, ...
