My BAND-MAID Experience in Nashville, TN (10th Anniversary North America Tour, May 21, 2023)

I'm glad I was able to go to BAND-MAID's Nashville Okyuji to show some love and support in May for their 10th Anniversary Tour. Thanks @BANDMAID for giving us all wonderful memories and great music!

My BAND-MAID Nashville Experience (10th Anniversary North America Tour, Nashville, Tennessee USA, May 21, 2023)

[@chrisegbertky]

For those of us who are physically handicapped you provide us with a very sweet view of the concerts which we may never experience in person! So thank you very much!

[@weldernick3750]

I can second this! I missed out on the Boston show last year because of an injury and I’m still pretty much laid in bed! Haven’t felt left leg in 2 years…

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for watching! Glad I can help give you guys a sweet view 👍

[@MrTdg2112]

Totally get that. I'm not handicapped, but I will always go for the balcony if there is one. I'm too old to fight to the front. Nobody blocking the view with their phones, and usually better sound.

[@Running-withscissors]

Right! What Chris said and thank you!

[@user-rf4dp5ib6z]

あなたみたいなファンが居ることが、どれだけ彼女達の力になるか...ほんと感謝の言葉しかない、ありがとう🤗

[@Greish-esquire]

"Having fans like you gives them strength... I really have nothing but words of gratitude, thank you"

[@metalj8681]

たぶん、彼女たちの間で1番有名なアメリカのファンだと思います。 ありがとう。

[@kashimakouichi3788]

良かったねー。もう、kanamiは、Micellの事、覚えてるねー。可愛い〰️❤️女の子が居るって😆👍

[@namitatsuhage]

Michelleさん　 素敵な経験を共有してくれてありがとう❤ いつの日か是非、日本🇯🇵に遊びに来て下さいね👍 日本国民、日本のBANDMAIDファンはあなたを全力でおもてなしします！！🎉

[@MichelleGT]

優しいコメントありがとうございます☺

[@chainedunfree727]

Thank you for this video!~ Happy 10th anniversary to BandMaid!

[@eggeight]

Michelle😆👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏🤟 💕❤💖LOVE 🎀BAND-MAID🎀 😍🥰😊

[@user-en5mf7zm2f]

もうすっかりBAND-MAIDのメンバーに覚えてもらえたね！ 特にかなみには😄 私は11月の横浜アリーナのライブに行きます！

[@htgoodcheer]

モニター越しにしか知らなかった、自分のあこがれの人に実際に会って、見知ってもらう。 そして、実際に会ってみたら、会う前に想像していた通りの素晴らしい人だった！という体験をできているのは、とても貴重なことで、誰もができることではないです。 実際に会ってみたら、がっかりさせられることもけっこうありますから。 一生の思い出になるし、これからの人生にいろんなインスピレーションを与えてくれるでしょう。 若いときにそれができたMichelleさんが羨ましすぎます。 I envy you, Michelle-san, for having had such a valuable experience that not everyone can have: meeting and getting to know in person the person you admired, whom you only knew through a monitor. And when you actually met her, Kanami, she turned out to be just as wonderful as you had imagined! It's something that not everyone gets to do, because there are quite a few people who disappoint you when you actually meet them. This experience will become a lifelong memory and provide you with various inspirations for the rest of your life. Michelle-san, being able to do that at your age, is incredibly fortunate.

[@user-bs6qr7sc4g]

saiki sensei no okagedesu! 「彩姫先生のおかげです！」 perfect! thanks for sharing．💐💐💐

[@MichelleGT]

[@Greish-esquire]

Thanks for posting. I was up front in the general admission line near you, when someone pointed you out as a youtuber and super fan. Thanks for posting....Following and Like your channel Princess. Ha ha. Went to POINTFEST Yesterday... 4.5 hr drive each way.... Great show, short but great. I am recovering today. Nashville was a show to remember. Band Maid fans are the best...

[@Skankhunt-lu4uj]

They played "Hate?" ? I can't wait for August.

[@kousukekomatsu-ej2us]

Michelleさんの動画を見ると、バンドメイドのライブにまた行きたくなりますね＾＾見ていて楽しい動画でした！SO GOOD！

[@dbane2759]

Kurrupppooo 😃😃 I love small pigeon 🐦 PO 🥰🥰🥰 I'd love to meet these hard working ladies one day

[@JPAS-YT]

Why am I not here 😢

[@paulrubba8339]

Wow! You're like an old friend to Band-Maid already. Very glad for you. 😊 ...and a li-ittle bit 🤏 jealous.😅

[@glenkelley6799]

Really! I mean who gets to chat with both Saiki and Kanami"

[@surfingasongwave]

The way Kobato's head whipped around when you started speaking Japanese! Priceless!

[@DeanF_MIDI]

I am in your video in a couple places. It was nice seeing you there with the rest of us on the "dawn patrol".

[@drogonr9318]

Wonderful vlog (I so love this band!). Thank you so much for this - felt like I was there! :)

[@garyschartz3023]

Crazy amount of energy.

[@Melody-Memory]

You're lucky to be talked to by Kanami🥰 It's not often like this💕I'm envious✨

[@BORDER11311]

You are understander good of Band-Maid, the number one in the whole United States. From japan.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

Wow. You always seem to pick the most unusual venues to see Band Maid. Last year, it was at the Nicolodian Mall in New Jersey. This year it's the bowling alley. I love your Band Maid videos.❤

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks so much Scott!

[@idatenidaten5548]

I am glad that you got to see them close. It’s almost impossible to do that in Japan. 🤘

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks!

[@gmac6503]

So cool to see Michelle so happy and also Band-Maid noticing and appreciating her. Couldn't happen to a nicer person. Your experience means something special to us too because you are so nice.

[@christopherrmcarter1809]

They are not from this planet. Love them all❤❤❤

[@musgrave6886]

the ever growing legend and legacy of this band is truly deserving of them.

[@tonygriffin_]

Thanks a million for this great record of the gig and your experience of it. Po!

[@kungphu1207]

Wow! You were right front and center. Thank you for sharing your third BAND-MAID concert experiences with us. Hope to see many more to come. 🤘 Michelle.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks!

[@edwardbarnes3389]

Rightfully so Michelle should be the ambassador for BAND MAID she does the band proud ! by doing her best to play like Kanami !

[@Kevin6059]

Thank you, Michelle. So many cool things in your video. Loved the part where Mincho was sitting on the edge of the stage playing. Hell, all of it was great. You rock! I'll be doing the Chicago Maidathon (Thursday night and Friday afternoon) in August and can't wait to see them for the 2nd time!

[@Kissthetoad321]

You have become the number one Maidiac. Such a privileged relationship with the Maids, especially with Mincho sensei, arouses in me a deep respect for you. 🙌Hats off Michelle.

[@WanderingSoulsWebzine]

What a great experience. These girls are so fantastic. Love the part Mincho came up to you and talked to you. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing this very awesome experience with us.

[@tkmetal3788]

ありがとう😊今回も楽しませていただきました❣👍

[@MichelleGT]

また見てくれてありがとうございます！☺

[@leeshown6743]

I've been enjoying music over 50 years now. This is undoubtedly the best rock and roll band I've ever heard. Such amazing talent❤

[@greylocke100]

I'm sitting here smiling so much my cheeks are hurting and my eyes are watering for some reason. I am glad you had a good time, and had another moment with Kanami. If you keep this up you will become her Padawan for real.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks! It was nice to see them again! They're awesome 🔥

[@arthurart99]

Thank you for sharing. 🤘🏽😍🤘🏽

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for watching!

[@carlosarchuleta62]

Michelle, adore ya kiddo! Keep up the metal love!!

[@markhayes9004]

Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us! I can't think of another person that deserved to be in the front row center of that concert than you. You are an awesome and talented person. Please take care and have a wonderful day!

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Mark for watching! Take care as well!

[@fernandoloya6325]

❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you -love you Michelle🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉BandMaid loves you.❤❤❤❤❤

[@curtisi4403]

Thanks Michelle To much to say but in short a very well documented experience and loved it all

[@virajelix]

Always lucky Michelle! Thanks for sharing! FOREVER BAND-MAID!!!

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for watching!

[@pat0653]

Thank you so much Michelle for these awesome memories, I live in Canada, these shows are far away from home, thanks for the opportunity to see them live! see you in your next video. ✌❤

[@CommanderCronus]

They're so comfortable and confident on stage now.

[@NicsMetalArt]

Great job Michelle!. Glad you had an awesome time! Band-Maid rules!❤

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Nic! Yes it was super fun! They're awesome

[@michaelmiller3842]

Thanks so much for this Michelle, I'm very happy for you . If you get to come to the Anaheim show in August, I would feel privileged to meet you.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for the kind words Michael!

[@mark12661]

Thanks so much for sharing this video. Would have loved to have them live.

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

That was great i posted it on my BAND-MAID fan club. Most people don't bother to show how big the venue or the audience is and you don't really get a feel for the concert when you are watching a long way away in my case Australia. Good job.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Stephen!

[@melocitysolo9574]

Hi Michelle, I've been looking forward to your Vlog. Great work again. You made it possible for us to enjoy the front-row presence together. Thank you. Big sister Kanami must have been happy to see her favorite American little sister again.😆

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed being in the front-row with me! ☺

[@babiru7]

良かったねー‼️😊🤘

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

I'm so happy for you Michelle, great that you had a VIP ticket and got to be on the rail, very cool. Thank you for documenting and sharing your experience. I hope to experience this myself one day. I have a VIP ticket for Yokohama Arena in November, but it's a huge venue, front row may still be far away from the stage. Greetings from Norway.

[@rA-rl5jo]

BAND MAID最高！

[@TheMovieMassacreShow]

looks like you has such a nice time.

[@LiamW-bf5ck]

Truly, I can't wait to see YOU LIVE!¡! GONNA BE STRAIGHT AWESOME

[@DerSkalde]

I saw them two times in Germany. Fantastic Liveband!

[@homeontherange1284]

Never get tired of watching Band Maid and they perform flawlessly everywhere they play.

[@kanou8318]

再会っぽ!

[@cholatse6745]

Ah, Michelle and Band-Maid, what a wonderful match and what a wonderful, well made documentary again. So glad for you, that Mincho takes some time for you and your wonderful statement that you look up to everyone of them made them very proud, I’m sure, as they love to see princesses who are into them and what wonderful role models they are for female music lovers and musicians. Thank you, I enjoyed this a lot!

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Girrrrrl, I'm so jelly ! Great video & thanks for sharing. 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Lonnie! 😄

[@d4v3rocks]

It was such an amazing show. Glad you enjoyed our city and had a good trip. I have always assumed that I would have to travel if I was ever going to see BAND-MAID perform. Thankfully, they came here. I just wish that I had bought tickets for the Atlanta show too. I suspect that they will book Nashville again. The show SOLD OUT . Anyways, thanks for posting your Cross-country quest for ROCK !!

[@analogpark8059]

Well, this was spectacularly cool. Thanks so much for documenting and sharing!

[@gagaou7]

素敵な時間の共有ありがとうございます！

[@1davidabell]

🤩Awesome Michelle 🤩✨✨

[@MichelleGT]

Thank you!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Thanks for sharing your incredible time with the Maids, Michelle! I wish you could go to Yokohama and bring us your special experience I know you'd have. But the smaller venues are probably the only way to get up front. 🤘🤘

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for watching Tom!

[@wallyrcarp]

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!!!

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for watching!

[@pattayaglutton3729]

Amazing Video!!! Thank you so much for sharing your special experience with Band-Maid. I am hopeful that some time in the near future I will also get to see and experience live, the world’s greatest rock band. Band-Maid!!!😀🥰🤩😍

[@kyles5513]

Wow that was a really nice ending

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Kyle!

[@alskiindy4725]

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. It was fun hanging with you & your family during the show! Hope to see you guys again.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Al! It was fun meeting and hanging out with you guys too 😄 Take care!!

[@figuerio1]

😀😀😀😀😀 Greetings from Argentina

[@cvn72abe]

I thought I was the only Filipino at the band-maid show in Nashville. Nice to see more Asian-Americans supporting Asian music. I was in Nashville for two nights(Band-maid at Brooklyn Bowl on Sunday and Mamamoo at Bridgestone Arena on Monday). I thought it was interesting to see several folks at Band-maid show wearing Kpop shirts (Dreamcatcher and Loona) and I saw a guy at Mamamoo Kpop concert wearing the Band-maid 10th anniversary t shirt.

[@Bulbagaba992]

Nice to know of Filipino maidiacs. My fervent hope is that more Pinoys would get to know and appreciate them. A fan base that would be significant enough to warrant us being on their radar for their Asian concert tours. I’m sure Kobato san would have a blast doing omajinai time in the Philippines! Her heavy usage of “PO” wouldn’t be alien to us! Heck, when I first discovered Band-Maid last February and saw interviews and MC time I thought Miku was like Sandara Park who spent time growing up in the PH, thus picking up “PO”! To my surprise it was our pigeon and her persona.😊

[@laughingbuddha2948]

Lovely documentary, thank you so much!

[@MichelleGT]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it! ☺

[@masamune2984]

You know a band is amazing live when they don’t even play ANY of your “Top 3 Absolute MUST-Plays” (Secret My Lips, Moratorium, and Thrill), and yet they still manage to absolutely blow the doors off of the place, and surface your expectations 🙂 (Denver @ The Summit, btw!)

[@rosssnel3117]

Thanks so much for sharing your experience in Nashville and your impressions, Michelle! It's so great that they picked you for question time. You've clearly made an impression on them.

[@zossuzuki9265]

Enthusiastic live footage ! I also can see how much you have enjoyed . I really enjoy to watch then this closer . Thank you Michelle ! 😊

[@MichelleGT]

Yes, it was a fun and enjoyable experience! Thanks for watching! ☺

[@thecryingdragon7513]

Unfair Game was played in sound checks!

[@rony_95]

So Many Female pro guitarist from Japan. One of Them is Tohno Kanami. Amazing 👏

[@jamesrigsby780]

Was there❤ great show

[@theohof2204]

Awesome!! This video deserves an award. Nothing but glorious, heartwarming moments. What a tribute to Band-Maid - I hope that they will watch it too.

[@byrondaniel4410]

I don't believe anyone has a bad band maid experience they are always fantastic

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

I love your videos of BAND-MAID. THANK YOU.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks Anthony! 😊

[@lewissmith4123]

This was a great video Michelle. I am pleased you got to have another quick chat with Mincho. Thanks for posting and keep up the great work !

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks a lot Lewis!

[@gorillack_japan]

Your Japanese is very good. Thank you again for your gift to Kanami. I think Kanami will remember you as a very impressive fan. Then again, you must be well-known among the fans of band maids.

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks for your kind comments!

[@wickeddummy]

Amazing, thank you very much for sharing your experience 👍😄 I am so happy for you, that you also get to interact with them, that must have been so cool 🙂 What did Kanami say to you, when you gave her your present? Hope they will come to Europe again, I need to see them live too, can't wait 🤗

[@mkoose]

Thanks for sharing !

[@MichelleGT]

😄👍 Thanks Martin

[@ericifune5543]

Thank you for showing this. Will you get to see them in August? Or even maybe in Japan? 😁

[@philcalvino884]

Thanks again Michelle for vlogging your Band-Maid experience. It was almost like you picked up where you left off with the American Dream concert. Seems like they recognized you -- certainly Kanami did! I saw another clip of the Nashville question time and heard some intelligent, witty person interacting with Saiki, but couldn't see her. Should have known it was you! BTW, the sound quality of that capture was superb. Not sure who was doing the camera work, but I don't think anyone would object if they uploaded more :)

[@MichelleGT]

Thanks a lot for your comments Phil! It was such a fun experience. I'm grateful to BAND-MAID, they're awesome!

[@IntenseWiggling]

It was a geart show! Up front and center must have been amazing.

[@LiamW-bf5ck]
