Thx, appreciate Saiki evermore along the way, like icing on the cake

[@mogaman28]

Hell yes! She really speak her mind. At the London show, Islington 2019, there was an obnoxious american fan, with a little teddy bear in hand, bothering other fans. Until Saiki told him to pipe it down. Let's say it was a fearsome (and spectacular) sight.

[@franshendrix1404]

That guy I remember, we at front told him to stop. Also me and probably a few others were not far away of knocking him down. But realizing he was drunk I guess we couldn't do it and left him in his own shame. I bet after the gig he would gotten a piececof mind on the way out. I hope he will never show up again. What an idiot that was to ruin a good evening.

[@pauloshanassy4424]

How good. What a quality production. As for the subject, well you've done her justice, she's brilliant.

Wow! Thank you very much for this amazing video! I'm so excited! So much information! So much interesting information! I didn't know...everything from the video! That was amazing. And all this little rare video from the first performances are so cute. I didn't know about surgery... I was trying not to cry at the end of the video, but... Thank you again for this amazing video. Now I'm waiting for the part 2. BAND-MAID forever!

Very few bands and groups out there have a fanbase as dedicated to put out content this good. To all those that worked on this, thank you for everything you've done so far and every future episode of this documentary.

It is a common practice among the Japanese. The material is clearly made with the permission of the "company", but the material is still very suitable.

[@philcalvino884]

Thank you!! The script, the editing, and the professional narration are (once again) top-shelf. Saiki, though: what a fighter, and what a voice! She has such a mesmerizing vocal style and incredible stage presence.

[@dragonmac1234]

We love Sai-chan, the band are all so humble, talented and hardworking. I'm very happy to be a Maidiac 🤘

[@realdocloco]

As an avid interview reader, I didn't learned a thing ... but yet I really enjoyed this great narrative - I was like a kid listening to his father telling him the same story he already heard ten times, before going to sleep. And it will be incredibly usefull for new or recent fans! Your informations about her surgery are correct, but let me add a small medical clarification: Saiki's surgery didn't made her voice better - it only brought it back to normal. All the following improvements are the result of her work (alone and with her coach), dedication and experience.

[@davids9445]

Oh man thanks for this! It was wonderful. What an amazing journey for Saiki. And man that speech always gets me 🥹. 🤘🏻

[@michaelpalmer3717]

In a group of women striking for very different reasons, Saiki is outstanding for her beauty, elegance but above all stage prescence. She has that precious natural gift for dominating the stage merely by being there. Having the audience in her hands from that moment her superb voice and vocal interpretation lead the band to stupendous performances full of delight and emotion. I think Band Maid might have made it without Saiki. but it's doubtful. With her they are undoubtably the finest band in the world. A fine documentary sir. Thank you.

[@surfingasongwave]

One thing that occurred to me (but I've never heard any of them mention it) - Saiki is the youngest, and she hired into a band with some really excellent musicians. If it had been me, I would have been intimidated by Akane, Misa, and Kanami and felt like I was not really in their league. The experience with her surgery might have made her feel like she actually *IS* integral to the band, and the past few years have made her feel like Band-Maid is *her* band and not just the band she sings for. There is an interview with Saiki and Kobato on VanityMix on August 11, 2022 where Saiki says "We released a video on the 'Day of Maid', this May, where we played together in the studio for the first time in a while, and I thought I hadn’t heard this loud sound for a long time (laughs). After that, we started rehearsing there more and more, and I was like “I love being in the band!”

[@RazzMaster27]

Very well done. I too put this band to the side for years because of the image. Finally took the chance through the pandemic to listen to their music and never turned back. Although I enjoy every member of the band Saiki will always be my favorite. It's crazy how she just sort of became the face of the band with her attitude and presence. This series is amazing and should be viewed by all.

[@philipcable7518]

A great insight for those that are not aware of a greatness vocalist Saiki Atsumi

[@Mogis2011]

Great job, can't wait to see the next one.

[@ThouDailyBlab]

Many elements in Band Maid separate them from the other Japanese bands, but one big one is Saiki's voice. I don't need to speak Japanese to listen to her sing. She is brilliant. Her vocals during the acoustic sections of their shows is awesome. Puzzle from Zepp Tokyo...etc. Thank you for doing this...

Saiki has gained a lot of confidence and are very outspoken, specially after the Radio shows she did together with Miku.

And a heartfelt thank you to the mystery surgeon who helped with Saiki's voice. I daresay that kind of surgery isn't high on the list of complex tasks for surgeons (all things considered) but there must still be an inherent risk, however small. A true unsung hero and they should be mighty proud of their work. Great vid and, as ever, forever, love and thanks to the one and only, almighty, inimitable Band-Maid.

It can be said that it is a role model for women and young people. I hope they conquered the world and it will be adapted into dramas or movies in the future.　★ I would like a BREAKIN' NEW GATE shirt.

[@franshendrix1404]

The gate they need to break is US and EU charts. Tjeyvhave to be on the radio on both continents. However, for now none want to. It's the language that for now is the problem. Though they fit.

[@toshimatyu6654]

@@franshendrix1404 As a Japanese, I am happy that they value Japanese. It leads to cherishing the heart of Japan. The lyrics have emotions and Japanese culture that can only be expressed in Japanese. I feel that having all the lyrics in English is not a true world domination. It is also interesting that the lyrics of the two existing English songs were not written by them.

[@irish66]

@@franshendrix1404 I disagree with the language being a problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't babymetal sing in Japanese. They had the advantage of being a support act for Lady GaGa.

[@markhunter8554]

Starting with Miku and ending with Saiki would've made more sense chronologically speaking.

[@Lawrence_L.A._Auble]

I’m loving all these videos on the members and of course I went backwards. What I find interesting and happy for them is the lack of experience before they go pro and happy to have them in my ears. Interestingly I believe their lack of professional experience has a lot to do with how well they gelled together and happy they found a cool music sound. Professionally Vocalists really need to be trained classically to sing properly no matter the genre. I am thankful her surgery went well as is not the case for some. But her vocals and the band are destined for our ears to hear. Vocalists please take care and practice to build up stamina for your vocal chords. Learn your natural range and expand in octaves. Sing from your diaphragm open the throat, proper position of the face for vowel and consonants at all times loud or quiet (fortissimo or piano). In other words sing from your core squeeze the gluteus maximus, that forces you to use your diaphragm and core to support vocals while dancing as well. Sing it loud, beautiful and keep it moving and grooving Miss Saiki. This old jazz musician is happy for you, the other band members and grateful for your talents. Keep it Rock’n!
