Great to watch musicians get excited about other musicians playing. Fans like me just get wrapped up in the sound and listen opened mouthed to the playing. But when musicians get equally excited it means that the playing is something special and I am right to go over the top in my enthusiasm for this band. Thanks for the reactions especially to Band Maid.

Thanks for another great reaction video. Without Holding Back is my absolute favorite Band-Maid video, it's also the one that -really- got me into this band. In fact, seeing this video for the first time, I couldn't believe they could pull anything like this off live, but then (about 2 years ago) seeing the fan-filmed live shows (by Vlad Chupin and others) really made my jaw drop to the floor, seeing these incredibly talented ladies perform. For example the Amsterdam 2018 recording, filmed in front of Miku's amp (so her guitar can clearly be heard). The energy, the fun, the talent, the hard work!!! What a band...

Kanami wrote this piece primarily to teach Miku how to play diminished chords, so that when she came to play her rhythm section on the track "Different" she had a head start. It's hard to have a favourite song with Band-Maid but this is in my top 10. The power trio of Akane, MISA and Kanami are allowed free reign whilst Miku ties down the rhythm and gets to add her own flavour to the music.

On a number of Band-Maid Cd releases there were special limited editions put out that had these "White Room' instrumental videos included on DVD/Blu-ray. These videos would have 5 videos for each song. One focused on each member and one of them all. This is the one of them all together which came in the "First Press Limited Edition" of the Cd "Unseen World" which had these videos done for 4 songs. Nice reaction as always with you guys. I should add that this song and "Onset" are the only instrumentals done as White Room instrumentals IFAIK, all the others are songs that have vocals that are done just showing the instruments playing. My take is that these videos are to help musicians to learn to play Band-Maid songs and for fans to see exactly what is done.

Chris and Sam, If you really want to see Band Maid's and especially Saiki's versatility as a vocalist, you should compare the recent official live video of "Puzzle" and an acoustic video of "Puzzle". The official live video is a hard rocker, but please read the lyrics from the song via closed caption. In the acoustic version of the same song, it's just Kanami and Saiki playing and singing, with the same lyrics, but the emotions of the song are very different. Get yourself a tissue.

I know you guys love the drums, so you should check into a young Japanese lady named Yoyoka Soma. She's 14 now, but she has had her own YT channel since she was 6 years old and started playing drums at 3 or 4 years old. She comes from a musical family and they have supported her tremendously. She has done some of the finest drum covers I've ever seen. She lives in the US now to go to school out in California. She is another savant when it comes to music, like Li-Sa X on guitar and Miumiu Guitargirl, who is 10 and a multi-instrumentalist. Yoyoka didn't read music and she learned her covers by ear and has learned to play several other instruments by ear also. She's been on TV here several times and is a true wunderkind. You should check her out. She followed in the footsteps of Senri Kawaguchi, who is yet another great Japanese female drummer. She plays in the jazz/funk scene in Tokyo with The Jazz Avengers, an all-female jazz band.

Miku started on Rickenbacker guitars. In spring of 2016 she and Kanami were invited to check out Zemaitis guitars. Miku was delighted to go, Kanami went to be polite but had her heart set on PRS, even though she already had Addictone making her own signature line. Miku liked the looks, but fell in love with their playability. The action was far superior to what she had played before. I don't know what deal they struck, but from the outside I'd guess she either gets deep discounts or gift guitars in return for the exposure she gives them. Her collection was well over a dozen different models last I knew. Miku was asked if she would consider a flying V style. She was concerned it would be big and unwieldly, but was willing. Zemaitis built a compact flying V to fit her, which became #1 of a new line, and that is the one in th video. Since then Zemaitis collaborated with her on a special design called the Flappy Pigeon - i.e. her signature model.

After they hired Saiki, the record label told Miku that they needed a rhythm guitarist. The choices were for either Saiki or Miku to learn guitar on the job (they both had ZERO experience), or they would audition for another guitarist. Saiki flat out said NO WAY, and Miku didn't want to hire another girl, so she bit the bullet and learned guitar from scratch. Kanami became her guitar sensei after that. 😀
@powbobs8 ай бұрын
Actually they wanted one of those two to hold a guitar. Miku volunteered because Saiki really didn’t want to. Shortly thereafter, Akane talked to Kanami and they both agreed that no one in their band was going to just hold an instrument. And that was the beginning of Kanami teaching Miku how to play guitar.

Give their shortly lived alter-egos Band-Maiko a try. (they were an April Fool's joke which ended up with a small album. They rearrange and rewrite their lyrics (in a different dialect) with traditional Japanese instruments. It's still hard rock though) One of my all time favorite songs from them is "Secret Maiko Lips", the original song being "Secret My Lips". Both are worth checking out! Fun fact: Miku plays Zemaitis guitars, a (now) Japanese company. It's an interesting story of how she became connected to the brand, and great how they decided to build her a signature model.

oke i i am gonna behaded on this one, after all i am just a painter with no musical feel whatsover, according to my musical teacher it was a crime to huminaty is if tried music in whatever form whatsover...so i didnt. i just listened to music and was awestruck what one could do on a instrument (or with it). I restore paintwork to its former glory, and because it is verry tedious work i like to listen to music to relax. about a year ago i stumbled across "band maid" and like you and many others who listen to it i was hooked. But althaugh i was hooked i also had this nagging feeling i heard something simular before, that thing you have when you know it in the back of you mind but cant remember how when and where. (dont get me wrong, it doesnt make "Band maid" less good. i am old, and at first i went back to my youth as my first feeling and connection was in "punk" with bands like "Stiff Litle Fingers" or foreinstance "the clash" but althaugh it still reminds me of these punk bands it did not cut it. Althaugh "Band Maid" sounds to me as Punk from back in the days, there was something else and one day a few weeks back i changed the cassete on my "cd exchanger" (yup i am that old and so is my car) and there is was....my connection. Mothers milk "the red hot chilli peppers" 1989, i swear,,,,, let miki and saiko do the vocals and its "band maid". yes i think its a huge compliment to "band maid" (atleast it is in my mind) as i playd this album all grey. it ticks all the boxes for me including "misa's"bas play and my god do love the heck out of her bas play. But then you have Kanami, this girl(woman) gives me chills all over my body and there is only one guitarist in the world that can do the same for me "Yngwie Malmsteen" ( i wonder how many people know him, the guiterist who deserved much more than he was deld with). yup its all my connections, yup i dont think anyone will agree but in the end of the day these connections made me love 'Band maid"even more as they did or do remind me of my Punk days" and the music i loved so much and was stuck away in the back of my trunk in a old dusty cassete...
