NO MORE TEARS!! - BAND-MAID - ANEMONE ACOUSTIC LIVE - REACTION

[@daveminers3404]

Mincho might have the prettiest voice of the whole lot. I wish she sang more.

[@ericifune5543]

Saiki's voice is that of an unsettled soul, and Kanami's voice is the angel soothing that soul.

[@chrisegbertky]

Excellent comment! So very true!

[@RA57727]

Well said.

[@RobinClegg-f6q]

We are living in the era of the brilliance of Kanami! And Gringa, I get teary during this performance also.

[@leekebot1802]

The difference between a good singer, and a great singer. A good singer will sing the song, hit every note perfect, make the song hit your ears so nicely. A great singer will preform the song, stress their voice with emotion, make the song hit you right in the heart.

[@Kazuya1008]

その通りだと思います。 「上手に歌う歌手」は一定数いますが、どれだけ上手でも心に響かなければ意味がないですしね。

[@RA57727]

A great singer, is akin to a great story teller. The words and how they’re delivered move both heart and soul. Saiki is definitely a great singer!

[@britwill72jp]

Great comment. Same for the other instruments. It's not just technique. That's why this band is so special, touching your heart.

[@saldiven2009]

Not many videos out there where you can clearly hear Kanami singing.

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

Ok, so now you have done both Anemone and Puzzle acoustic. In concert they were adjoined. I can't imagine being there in person for this performance. Grown men crying everywhere ;) .

[@_JimS]

Kanami's guitar used in the video is a K. Yairi SJY13H Steve Hicks Custom Electro-Acoustic. You can find it on Equipboard under Kanami Tono. Saiki always brings the emotion with her singing. Kanami's harmonies proves she can sing, just chooses not to.

[@normanweaver7935]

I saw that on equipboard, but I'm not so sure. The headstock markings and bridge shape of the SJY13H are different than what's on the guitar she's playing here. The Hicks has an Alvarez shaped bridge (I call it a Zappa) while the guitar she's playing here has a fairly standard looking straight one I think it's a K.Yairi RF 65CE NT like the one that showed up in the WD score book

[@mickyhierro3901]

Sai-chan's voice penetrates into my heart and stimulates my sweet spot.

[@ALAN_COX]

Hold on a sec. I think the onion that got in The Gringa's eyes affected me too. Kanami doesn't like to sing but of course she doesn't have a problem singing with Saiki.

[@TJandTheGringa]

😂😂😂.. this comment made us both LOL 🍻

[@cius2112]

Anemone is one of my all time favorite BAND MAID songs, so I hope you guys check out the studio version too! ( and maybe the Band Maiko version "Ansan")

[@polskabob359]

Awesome shirts the both of you , the pigeon approves po!

[@TJandTheGringa]

🤘😊🤘🍻

[@MaxMaidiac-h5y]

Do you guys know that Band-Maid watches reactors sometimes? I hope they see you guys soon. I hope when you guys go see Band-Maid they get to see your wonderful faces up close in the front row. I am sure that someday you guys will be drawn to visit Japan. I am sure that you will love it and that the people there will love you guys.

[@bradmenpes809]

A really beautiful song made even more beautiful by this performance. It comes after Daydreaming (track 11, Anemone is 12) on the World Domination album (2018). After ten tracks of progressive hard rock awesomeness, Daydreaming and Anemone hit like a massive one, two emotional punch. A truly great band showcasing their immense talent for all things rock. Regarding the lyrics, I've never really needed to know the lyrics to completely enjoy a Band-Maid song, but usually they are fabulous. Here's a little example of some of Anemone's lyrics: "No matter how, no matter how No matter how dear you are to me Slowly up, eventually The magic spell will be broken I know that, but still While our hands are still holding If only time would stop in this moment" Pure genius.

[@coradesune7537]

You should also check out the original album version. It's emotional and powerful.

[@jameswelsh598]

you need to look up the words, then you'll really get tears when you hear it

[@Pigeonholed-Po]

A different side a Band-Maid and a rare moment hearing Kanami singing backup. Lots of emotion despite not understanding the lyrics. Thanks for another reaction to Band-Maid.

[@brunobryant4846]

Sorry your vid came through blurry oh wait that's me tearing up. 👍🍻

[@TJandTheGringa]

😂😂😊🤘🍻

[@philcalvino884]

Thanks J&G! I'd also recommend listening to the full band version of Anemone -- it's very powerful.

[@cius2112]

its still one of my top 5 BAND MAID songs!

[@BRO-HI808]

Ah...ROTN2. Classic. Love the shirt.😂 These two live on stage with the acoustic guitar always create magical moments. And someone always unleashes those onion ninjas. Great reaction again. "That's good. It makes you feel. And that's what music is all about." Absolutely right sir. And what a great time to listen to music. The era of Band-Maid. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘 Next: "From Now On" OMV, an amazing instrumental "Play" OLMV a song started out as a instrumental, but Saiki wanted in on the fun and asked Miku to write lyrics to this one. "Alone" OMV a milestone song in Band-Maid history. The first song the Maid wrote/composed which was approved by the Label.

[@Kissthetoad321]

In the original version, it's Kanami who makes her guitar cry. Saiki is a singer who sings with her soul. Did you react to About Us? No, it's not to see The Gringa cry, I swear. THANKS

[@donbrashsux]

Beautiful song Beautiful vocals 👌 Your reactions are always informative and You guys show yr true emotions towards a song and the Muscians.. 👌 you need a button to donate tissues for the wonderful Gringa .. she’s awesome

[@BillHallisey]

When Band-Maid slows down their music during a live concert, "Anemone" is one song all the fans love to hear. It's such a beautiful song, beautifully performed bay Kanami and Saiki. It hits you right in the feels despite not understanding a word they are singing. That's what beautiful music can do to your.

[@donaldbohn3183]

Mincho loves Sai-chan so much!

[@rossmudie9298]

Don't watch 'Endless Story' live, by the time the song finishes you won't have any tears left 😁🤘🤘

[@armynurseboy]

Check out the studio version. Really good too.

[@tonygriffin_]

I'm not crying, it's you tha...oh no, it is me. I think it's Kanami's harmonies, which are rarely heard, against Saiki's intensely emotional voice. They get me every time, no matter how many times I watch this performance (which was straight after the acoustic Puzzle in the same concert). The two voices and that sweet guitar are just very moving. PS Love the MISA/Akane t-shirt - and the naughty one too!

[@TJandTheGringa]

😂😂😂😂... As usual you come in clutch with the magnificent comments and get us laughing! .. I completely agree with you on Saiki's vocals... Her ability to portray emotion and hit you right in the chest is unmatched and then you add Kanami's soft voice on top of it and the jitters immediately happen all over the body. These girls are most definitely something special and we feel fortunate to have discovered their music and become fans. See you again soon brother 🍻

[@tonygriffin_]

@@TJandTheGringa Always look forward to both your reactions. Always positive and smiling (with the odd tear). Now we have your vlog too!

[@mickypinestraw7866]

If you want to get hit in the feels with Band-Maid, listen to Mincho's Daydreaming intro from the Yokohama Arena 10th anniversary tour. It's so powerful that I get choked up just thinking about it!

[@haggaisimon7748]

The original is epic!

[@BM4-Life]

Thank You, *Tequila Jimmy and The Gringa* for returning back to *BAND-MAID* and *Gringa* love that *BAND-MAID* shirt, and can you please add to your list *BAND-MAID / alone* This song is the first song that the management company allowed *BAND-MAID* to write, and after this song they started writing their own material. It is off their 3rd studio album of 2016. Keep on Rockin' 🤘😊

[@TJandTheGringa]

Hi ‼️‼️... it is because of you that we discovered this band and also this amazing Japanese rock and roll rabbit hole that we are traveling through! Thank you so much for the support to the channel! We really do owe you a deep debt of gratitude and you can count on this reaction to come this week! We are really enjoying these coffees you bought us they are perfectly creamy and sugary 😃 .. please look for this reaction later this week. Always love hearing from you and we appreciate you always. Much love from both of us ‼️❤️❣️💓♥️

[@nagyalex5310]

Hey guys I would also like to recommend the original as well. It’s also very good!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Now check out the album version, guys. It's also a mind-blower!🤘😉

[@lurkmerchant]

So this one is for Gringa, next you pick their faster and heavier stuff. I've just checked the list of your reaction videos and from what I can see, you might like fast, chaotic and those leaning towards Metal. I would say you'd be more into Giovanni and Blackhole. Or pick up anything from Unseen World, Sense single and Unleash EP. Thanks for the reaction. I fully recommend the studio version of Anemone.

[@lennartfrom4940]

Kanamis guitar; Alvarez Yairi

[@throwaway9389]

Another example of the breadth and skill of this band. And you MUST see Band Maid live--always an amazing show. A head's up, Saiki is now playing the keyboards for a solo version of "Choose Me", but I don't think that is available currently. For heavier fare, you can check out "I Still Seek Revenge" off Unseen World. Just an audio track though. Cheers.

This acoustic version of " Anemone"I is amazing!!! I like your Miss-Akane T-Short, but I prefer my T-Short with Kanami, my favorite Band Maid member!Thanks for your nice reaction.

[@jonnyrebb]

It looks like Kanami is play an Alvarez acoustic.

[@dazedandconfused318]

Yes she plays Alvarez / Yairi acoustics

[@normanweaver7935]

@@dazedandconfused318 She does now but not here I think. Pretty sure it's a K.Yairi RF 65CE NT. I know Yairi and Alvarez have been making guitars together a long time, but I think there are some from Yairi's shop alone

[@dazedandconfused318]

@@normanweaver7935 I'm sure you're right as it has the Yairi logo not the Alvarez logo on the headstock, I had heard somewhere that this was a Yairi that she borrowed but I have no idea if that was true.

[@henry6782]

Saiki is actually such a crier!!! But she hides it well, she always dips away asap after a song if she gets emotional 😂

[@scottfield5849]

😊👍

[@emeryharrison9325]

An acoustic album from Band-Maid would be great. Try reincarnation, its a little gritty, almost a grunge tune. And there probably won't be any crying!

[@sugaanessena3143]

There is one, but you have to be a member of their fanclub to get it.

[@waynebenedict4609]

The Christmas Acoustic concert is available on CD, audio only, though. Still beautiful!
