My new favorite! Band-Maid-Onset live reaction

[@stimproid]

Band Maid doesn't make music that you listen to ......They make music that you feel.

[@Kaeg]

All of the yes!

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

I agree. That's why you don't even have to know Japanese language to like their music.

[@justinbowe38]

And just look at Akane's face during her mini solo, smiles and pure joy

[@yutatubest]

Akane is a band-maid mood maker with a smile and a very hard drumming happily!

[@j.g.p.7554]

I watched it over and over and over.......... Oh yea , AND OVER ..and over . I too Love this Band

[@davidchambliss5909]

DRUMS - Damn. Akane, you smiling beast.

[@Keithymac1]

That's pretty much how I felt when I heard this, I listened to it all day. It is a masterpiece.

[@mauricedorreboom5388]

Song starts at 0:40, you get this grin at 0:50 and stays there the whole time! And the only reviewer so far who plays the reviewed song twice! And rightfully so!!! Amazing song, by an amazing band!!

[@kurt9395]

Kanami's name (歌波) translates very appropriately as "song wave". 歌=song, normally pronounced "uta", can be pronounced as "ka". 波=wave pronounced "nami", like in tsunami. And just like a tsunami, she washes you away.

[@BickKoxing]

Band-Maid is definitely the best female hard rock band right now in Japan and soon they will dominate the world

[@DS-xk6yr]

World. Ever. No contest.

[@sacluvsBM]

Get them on American TV asap. America is yours if you want us ladies. Best damn hard rock band on the planet today.

[@JGM0JGM]

You got it wrong, you wrote: "Band-Maid is definitely the best female hard rock band right now in Japan " Here, let me help you fix it... Band-Maid is definitely the best hard rock band right now, po. No need to thank me, just trying to help. :-)

[@JGM0JGM]

[@justinbowe38]

Kanami is so good, and plays so below what she could do. It's like each solo shows you more what she can do, and some day she will do a solo that shocks the world. Cause she can, she is that talented

[@pekkatervala8476]

I'd pay without thinking it twice to see their live show!

[@mountainchin5799]

I can't get enough of it !

[@MrTdg2112]

This is the one I listen to to cure Migraines. Easily my favorite piece by them. The first time I heard it it brought tears to my eyes.

[@JoaoBosco-yd3ln]

Band Maid is great band, yes great band, happy for you

[@sjnix7044]

CRIMINALLY underrated band. Even though there is obviously post production for this, they really are THAT good live.

[@DS-xk6yr]

Underrated??? Is it even possible for me to go higher than 11/10?

[@raid7752]

The talent level is off the charts, JIMMY PAGE of (LED ZEPPELIN) loves BANDMAID...... These girls are flat out ROCK STARS. SHRED ON LADIES...

New instrumental just posted on KZbin yesterday entitled Without Holding Back. Misa is on beast mode for the entire tune. Look forward to seeing them at Live Nation venues this winter. Absolutely love this band.

[@hotarusama3510]

We love Band Maid thanks God for this song and the legendary Band in this generation 😎

[@greekpapi]

These girls really tear it up bro !!!!! I love em !!!!!

[@WatchmanXuk]

So good to see you not able to stop smiling...only perfection brings it...

[@RobinC63]

Love your reactions to Band-Maid. There is a part near the beginning, roughly around 50 seconds, that I love. There are 3 separate elements happening. The drums and rhythm guitar are in sync, the bass is doing a fast walking bass line and the lead guitar is playing a different element over top of all that. It's freaking awesome. The other thing I love are the sections that go into an odd meter. I'm like you, I'm infected but frankly, I don't want a cure! 😆

[@stephanwolfhunter]

Kanami the Tsunami. I knew you'd love it!

[@stimproid]

I don't think anyone would complain about a 20 minute Band Maid video. I wouldn't :-)

[@stimproid]

Watched it twice just to make sure.....20 minutes......30 minutes....never get old :)

[@justicar5]

I don't complain about the 3 hour live DVD :P

[@fdsannie]

Nice to see you enjoy something this much. They are really awesome!

[@Ariakon]

Akane(sp?)'s drumming seems so different from what I'm used to hearing. The kick snare pattern is constantly changing throughout this whole song. She doesn't look like she's even trying but you can feel her drumming in your chest when you listen to this song.

[@pekkatervala8476]

Jimmy Page compared Akane with John Bonham! No surprise Akane is a big Ian Paice fan. Maid In Japan!

[@DS-xk6yr]

I hear you. That bass solo was incredible, she's up there with Geddy Lee. And Kanami's playing, damn. Best hard rock band I've ever heard and I'm old school.

[@tttxttt_5790]

The atmosphere where everyone is having fun and playing with plenty of time is amazing.

[@markmark6378]

Tour De Force!! Your reaction is pretty much the same as my first time seeing and hearing this. Yea they can PLAY!

[@moriganbecks4811]

This was a great show. Post production did a great job and I wish I could have been there!!! Three fuck yeahs, two thumbs up.

[@scottpollack1007]

Pekka Tervala ABSOLUTELY MY FRIEND!

[@michaelpalmer3717]

So right Justin, I think we are seeing just the tip of the iceberg. Kanami will develop way beyond the present level in composition and playing and the rest of the Band Maid are so talented they will go with her all the way. The real Supergroup.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!

[@stimproid]

I love how fast she cups that pick going from picking to slapping. Faster than the eye can see :)

[@jmetallover]

I love Band Maid and this song is Epic as we see the real musicianship of the members which is excellent. Hey if you like this try Asterism Rising Moon (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5fbfpxmd91nrpI). The female shredder was 15 when it was recorded!!! She is now 16 as is the bassist with his older brother the drummer who is 19!! TEENAGERS who sound and play better that 90% of the stuff on YT now!!The strings are still in high school and can't yet drive!!! I swear this girl has the Hendrix/Santana attitude and is just wicked. They blend several Metal genres, Hard Rock and Jazz. All instrumentation no vocals at all. Listen to them and see the next great axe shredder develop before your eyes and ears!!!

Good thing about your reaction is the way you smile when you like something. You really don’t need to say anything.

[@pekkatervala8476]

Yes, they show live how much they enjoy doing a perfect show! So energetic live performances and unreal, perfect sound!

[@Danceofmasks]

There's no studio version of this song, since they're just jamming to give Saiki a bathroom break. XD

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

They released it as an extra if you pre ordered the 2 singles, I was too late :(((( they also gave Puzzle and Anenome Acoustic as a bonus missed that too :((((

[@screamindemon71]

They actually did release a studio version of Onset if you ordered the bundle. Listened to it and was equally impressed. Hell, Saiki was probably using the bathroom and they decided to a quick jam session lol

[@DigitalNomadInvestor]

Long bathroom break! LOL

[@Junior-hy6hh]

Everyone thinks the good stuff comes from Columbia, but it really comes from Japan. And in it's purest (and most addictive) form it's called Band-Maid.

[@johnmatthew102]

The lighting and sound at ZEPP-Tokyo and all ZEPP venues are top-notch as evidenced by these great proshot live videos that Band-Maid has produced there. ZEPP-Tokyo is celebrating their 20th year in business and they have used the years to get the lights, cameras and sound dialed in. Some good pictures of the hall and their JBL arrays can be found on their fakebook page. Did you cut a few inches off of your hair? I always wanted floppy, blonde Hansen hair like yours, but it wasn't meant to be. You would look natural on a Southern California beach holding a surfboard. :-)

[@iomanalili3419]

................. (I'm speechless)

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

There is no such thing as a too long Band-Maid reaction video, 20 minutes will do just fine thank you :-)

[@topographic1973ify]

The first time I heard this it literally blew my socks off. I kept saying that it really showed what Band-Maid is actually capable of. I'll let you figure out which video has Misa and Kanami doing a bass and guitar battle. Have fun.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

I'm finding that but with J-music nothing else will do.

This was the track that they hooked me with, before Onset i was 50-50 with Thrill (I still dont like the song but the bass is great in it) and Moratorium was a nice surprise that convinced me to give BAND-MAID a 3rd chance.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

Akane really doesn't like doing Solos mores the pity as she is a BEAST

[@schelin1447]

This whole song is a drumsolo ;)

[@DS-xk6yr]

I don't know that it's that she doesn't like doing solos so much as all three of the virtuosos in this band have already learned something many pro musicians never do - 'serve the song not your ego'.

[@jtdg5849]

Every song is essentially a solo. She never stops moving it around. Each section has multiple drum progressions. She doesn't just lay down a groove and repeat through the whole song. She constantly is building and moving and changing through the ENTIRE song.

Now that you've been infected, John, you may find virtually ALL other music, somehow, disappointing, insufficient, even uninteresting! I can still enjoy noodling to old favorites, but less so. I find myself thinking, though, "Band-Maid would be more interesting to listen to than this...this seems slow, dull, and flat." Seriously, everything seems slow, dull, and flat compared to Band-Maid! I'm happily ruined!

[@pekkatervala8476]

I don't think I've not enjoyed this much after Deep Purple, Focus, Lynyrd Skynyrd and AC/DC live shows on film. There's never a dull second in Band-Maid live shows. Kanami is truly a great composer.
