this is my first band maid song, I love it,

[@keithvincent8760]

Great 😊.

[@BRO-HI808]

Welcoming another Master to the fandom! FYI...the Maids call their male fans Masters and the their female fans Princesses. And their concerts Okyu-ji (Servings). You are about to get sucked down into the Pigeon hole. Enjoy the journey. PO! 🕊

Welcome to the band maid world,,greeting from indonesia😁

[@stevekane4922]

You are so fucked dude. Being a madiac is much like being a meth head except it's good for you.

[@frankandre4385]

Greetings from the Mitten state !

[@wolfscoat6207]

Credits also to Akane for the drum support during the battle between Bass and guitar. In a former concert you can watch Kanaimi and Misa thanking Akane for this. This is really family.

[@avstryker]

Saiki's voice has so much more drive, punch and growl since her vocal surgery. She was amazing before .. now she is a force to be dealt with.

[@powbobs]

She and Miku also started using a vocal coach after their surgery which also had a good affect.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

The Yokohama Okyuji was unforgettable but there were many showpiece moments in it's 3½hrs+. Saiki's performance is stunning on DYTM :)

[@keithvincent8760]

She's on Fire😊.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

@@keithvincent8760 She sure is, Keith.😁

[@BRO-HI808]

Saiki was on fire for the entire show! I've been to a bunch of concerts and I don't think I've heard her better. All the Maids gave it their all in this Okyu-ji! PO!!! 🕊

[@ausoleil8269]

Lottery tickets is a system to sell concert tickets in Japan. You must win a lottery to be allowed to buy tickets. It's to avoid the first arrived first served thingy and limit the reselling traffic. This is one of their older songs. It's not usually considered one of their very bests but it's undeniably elevated by this live.

[@lurkmerchant]

First come first served would be fair and they would've sold more tickets!

[@ausoleil8269]

@@lurkmerchant lottery is not perfect but it's better than the reselling scams you have in the US.

[@lurkmerchant]

@@ausoleil8269 There are only 2 official ticket sellers in Japan, so resellers are fairly easy to spot. The problem with lottery system is that people are lead to think that they must win the lottery to get the ticket, which isn't true. Often there are way too many tickets left for general sale that won't start till the last minute. A band like bandmaid who have many dedicated fans overseas to travel to Japan for concerts, the system could be too complicated.

[@gordonbell8728]

This was Band Maid's 10th anniversary tour finale at Yokohama Arena in front of 18,000 fans. They played for 3 and a half hours. Members of other bands such as Lovebites and Nemophila were in attendance as well.

[@dennisthemenace671]

They had 8, 000 in attendance , the areanna only holds 17, 000 .

[@lurkmerchant]

@@dennisthemenace671 The crowd looked much bigger than TGT, which attendance was reported as 8000 as well.

[@richardn8866]

This was the conversation between Mincho & MISA about music. Later on they had a full blown argument. In the end, they agreed that both could be the lead guitarist in the band. That is the Band-Maid sound. It works so well, they have created their own genre. The BAND-MAID genre, which is however they want to play is what they play. Thanks for the reaction guys, it had been too long. Cheers!

[@user-fl9jd4jo5h]

I can see that the playing ability of all of them is top level in the world. However, the most amazing thing is that all the members are enjoying playing music.

[@I_am_Warthog]

DeepL translator is much better than Google translate. It doesn't do as many languages, but it is way more accurate with Japanese.

[@ohlrangers9458]

When asked about influences, Kanami always sites Santana. The solo on Don't you tell ME (whether on the studio version or all the live versions I've seen on video or in person) feels the most "Santana-esque" to my ears.

[@SamuelR007]

I think the Love, Passion matador song is more like Santana. But it's an old one and I'm not sure they wrote it themselves.

[@ohlrangers9458]

Agree it's super Santana-esque as well!

[@mikeat2637]

Guys, this was so epic, and enhanced by the looks on your faces, lol. As we all know, Kanami likes to throw the kitchen sink when she does solos, but this time she really outdid herself. I heard Carlos Santana, some Deep Purple/Rush tones, a touch of Lynyrd Skynyrd and even a hint of surf rock. And what more can be said about Akane that hasn't already been said..........her fills not only during the entire song, but during that solo also, were sheer perfection. And the sight of her smiling and laughing continuously from start to finish is just the epitome of Band maid in a nutshell. And Sai-Chan.........wow, just WOW !!!!!! She was literally luminous out on that stage and she was in total control, which is just want the crowd there and at every other show they have done wants, to be led by a master. She has made herself into a bonafide star !!!! Watching her strut her stuff on that stage was worth three times the price of admission. And those new glam maid outfits were just perfect and brings out a slightly different and more mature look and feel. Seeing Kanami standing up there at the beginning with that sly smile on her face showed she was definitely on her game. Everyone was just perfect.

[@hazardouswaste08]

if you listen to the original version of the song, that guitar solo is only ~15 seconds long. this extended battle took the elements of that solo and expanded it. its really cool. i encourage you to go listen to the original and then listen to this again to try and pick out the original solo elements. kanami's genius absolutely shines through here.

[@greylocke100]

MISA used 3 different basses for this concert and she swapped them out 7 times. This pale blue one, her tobacco burst offset Mustang style and her distressed white (looks yellow) PJ style Black Smoker. All of her basses are custom made for her by Black Cloud, a custom luthier in Japan. What we need to do is to comment bomb their video asking for them to make the next release before the BD-DVD launch should be a two-fer of DICE-Hate? from this concert.

[@TomRussell-cy6ll]

Whats amazing is if you watch the first video of Thrill and then watch this video it's amazing how far our girls have come !!!!!!! Total Pro's

[@BillHallisey]

Chris and Sam, I'm so glad you guys got a chance to react to this song. As one former long time DJ said while reacting to the song, said "for all you young rock bands out there, this is how you do it!" I really love the most unnoticed part of this song, Akane understated but perfect drumming during Kanami and Misa's solos, accentuating their performances.

[@barrycounts490]

Best picture of Akane Ever 9:03 =) Band-Maids rock never dies ever forever !

[@gmark1]

That was a perfect place to stop to discuss the solos: Look at the huge grins on the face of Akane and Kanaimi. One of the best descriptors for this amazing band: sheer joy for the and for us.

[@CutlassSupreme455]

I love Saiki’s confident strut down the runway!

[@redj59]

Total confidence

[@me262a1]

I think this is the only bass with the PJ setup MISA has. It's a monster. Hey, Otoboke Beaver is playing The Beacham in Orlando on Saturday March 30. Last show of their North American tour before heading to Europe.

[@billb.5183]

Great to see you back reacting to the maids after all these months. 😁

[@Bekka_Noyb]

This performance is EPIC! ♥ BTW - they do have subtitles on most their videos. Just saying

[@hiawatha.g]

Thanks for coming back to Band Maid. I think you will agree this was a can't miss!

[@CAPTCHAZ]

MIKU never gets any respect... We would never have Band-Maid in our lives if it were not for MIKU. The genius behind BAND-MAID. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Think of what Miku has done for Band-Maid. She stepped back to have Saiki sing lead because she believed she had a better voice. She stepped in to learn rhythm guitar because she didn't want to add another person to the band. She studies hard to write lyrics for most of Band-Maid's songs. My heart goes out to Miku Kobato. What a beautiful woman. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sugaanessena3143]

I still can't believe I was there, but I have the ticket so it must be true.😁

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

I joined Band-Maid's fan club and they send out emails (in Japanese) from each member every few weeks. The emails show up on both my phone and my PC so I translate both and the differences in translations are interesting but help you ferret out the context.

[@trfatman]

It's your lucky day!!! Band Maid just dropped another epic live track from this concert....HATE? And...it has another bass/guitar duel!!! You can find it on their channel.

[@user-we6wl8zt5y]

In the same live performance, "HATE?" is open to the public. You can fully enjoy MISA's dangerous bass, which you couldn't see at Lollapalooza, so please react to it.

[@MusicMike747]

About time you got back to the Maids! I always appreciate your musicians’ take on what they do. I wasn’t disappointed. Six seconds in and you guys were hooked 🤘🏽

[@powbobs]

MISA loves 90’s grunge.

[@dave4reel188]

Just got back from Tokyo last night. Didn't see any shows, but I entered the overseas lottery for the "Day of Maid" show at Zepp Haneda May 10th a few weeks ago, and while I was there I got a notification that I now have a ticket. Even tho I've seen them in the states, I'm going back to witness this live the way it should be. Bucket list item getting checked off

[@petahpunk]

Saiki has become a captivating front, and let's face it, MISA is the Queen of Cool. I hope they do a US tour in 2024 or 2025, I am dying to see this band live.

[@tasminoben686]

No!! Europa, first!!😅

[@powbobs]

They love the US and always tour here at least once a year. The US fans are what saved the band. Their first big crowds were at Sakura Con in Seattle, which was their first trip outside of Japan and the source of the footage in the ‘Before Yesterday’ MV.

[@jasonnord785]

Epic. Awesome. Love it.

[@powbobs]

Japanese concert tickets are allotted by a lottery system. Concerts sell out extremely quickly due to Japan’s strong appreciation of music, so this is the most fair way to prevent the scams we see in the US.

[@lurkmerchant]

Well, it only applies to popular bands. Band-Maid isn't popular enough domestically. People are mislead to think that they absolutely have to win to get a ticket, which isn't true, and their overseas fans have to organise trip to Japan before general sale starts...

[@powbobs]

@@lurkmerchant Band-Maid concerts in Japan have been through lottery.

[@lurkmerchant]

@@powbobsYes, but you can actually get tickets after lottery is closed. There are tickets reserved for general sale for whom missed out in the lotteries. Many people don't seem to realise that. In big venues, selling out thousands of tickets at the last minute is impossible unless the band is big.

[@modelsfan]

Band-Maid best hard rock band and Lovebites best heavy metal band

[@powbobs]

I’ve lost track of how many basses MISA owns now. 😂

My guess is that Misa's new white bass is a copy of her regular Jaguar sunburst? all made by Black Cloud of course. Anyway, Band-Maid looked completely at home in the 17,000 Yokohama Arena.

From Saiki walking her court to the awesome conversation between Kanami and MISA and Akane doing perfect fills, doesn't get much better! New album coming this summer, can't wait!

[@craigfenson]

lottery ticket = concert ticket

[@MaartenT]

For more elaboration, a lot of shows in Japan have a "lottery system" that you need to "win" before you are able to buy your ticket. This is mainly the case for big shows/acts that tend to be sold out. Yes, I can imagine it being a pain in the ass sometimes if you can't get a ticket for the show you want to go to, but it prevents scalping and other things that plague ticket sales in the West. It keeps it fair for everybody, so no waiting for sales to open and spamming the ticket websites either.

[@dustykatt]

@@MaartenT Yes, I had to get my ticket in the second lottery release of tickets.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

As the Maids said at this huge, 17,000 seat Yokohama concert, it's "Chapter Two" for Band-Maid. What does that mean -- a new direction in music on their upcoming summer album... new battle gear... different stage show or venues... more collabs (The Warning, Lovebites, individual musician appearances?)... member and band projects like scoring movies, aniMaids, soloing projects like Cluppo... someone getting married or 👶🐣?? Pretty exciting stuff! Thx, Chris & Sam! [RECENTLY COMPLETED] BAND-MAID 10TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR SPIN OFF -- SOLD OUT!!

[@zer0tzer0]

This isn't even the best LIVE version of this song. That was taken down ahead of a DVD release. Now you can only see it on the Chinese site Bilibili. It's the 9th song in the Zepp Tokyo LIVE Concert. If you don't want to go there Joel Roadie just did a reaction to it. This version has a little more technical run down than the run up in the old one, but that is more dramatic and has more impact.

[@Oldmarty]

Sorry guys, you must be nice buddies. You also know something about music and can play something. But I always have my problems with your stops. after 5 seconds to then talk for 2 minutes about what will happen and how. Really? Kanami solo, Misa plucks her bass twice, stop, describe what happened, what will happen. Duo over, stop again, talk about what they played, for minutes. Then on to the end. Honestly, you can't tell me that you felt the song. Japanese female musicians don't do duels, they have a coffee party with cookies.
