I need to look into this band. The only reason I've heard of them was because I saw a poll that had them and The Warning. I am a massive fan of The Warning but , didn't want to just blindly vote for The Warning over Band-Maid. I played a song from them (The name escapes me right now) But, I was blown away by their musicianship. Then again, for Japan it should come as no surprise. PRS is my favorite brand seeing as we're both Maryland made(I own 8 including two SE models). So, seeing bands from all over the world rocking PRS it's cool to me. After this video, I'll be exploring Band-Maid more.

[@_DriveTime]

Kanami has become my favorite musician of all time. I love her playing style, but I'm blown away by her creativity. She writes the band's music. The interplay between the instruments is so good and creative. No ego. Just write great songs where everyone shines. The deeper you dig, the better it gets.

[@sjnix7044]

Dear PRS, you need to give this amazing lady a signature model like YESTERDAY. Band Maid are one of the best rock bands on the planet currently.

[@XxAnacondaViceX]

I agree they do. Also they aren’t one of the best. They are THE best on the planet!

[@sjnix7044]

@@XxAnacondaViceX I agree but I like to hedge my bets. ;) I can't honestly think of another group (that hasn't obtained legendary status) that comes close.

[@SunGod80]

PRS already provides her with the guitars she uses on the band! :D

[@fifis677]

Agreed. Everything about her - what she writes - what she plays - is incredible.

[@palominokid3002]

As of late June, 2024 there is a strong rumor that Kanami will finally get a Signature PRS model of her own

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Kanami is the reason that this life-long Fender fanboy finally bought a lefty PRS 24.

[@TylerLL2112]

How do you like it?

If I walked into the music store to buy 1 guitar, and this were my salesperson, I'm pretty sure I'd walk out with 4 guitars

[@theharvardyard2356]

[@curtisrrobles7885]

lol, It would be hard to walk out with only just one

[@joki5346]

If I needed new strings, I would go there and buy only one per day...btw. I have ten guitars at home.

[@SunGod80]

I would also try and walk out with the salesperson :P

[@user-fp9po5sm5p]

I got 4, now where can I get her phone number

[@bandsublime9462]

テクニックを披露するのではなく、音の違いが分かりやすいように弾いてくれるのがKanamiさんらしくて良い動画です。

[@tmctmhs]

「バンドのアンサンブルに入っても変な目立ち方はせず、きれいに混ざるような音だなって…」 全てはより良い音楽のために、ってことなんだろうな。当たり前のようでなかなか出来ることじゃない。メンバー全員がそういう人なバンドだから、ソロパートもちゃんと楽曲の一部になってて悪目立ちしないのか。ボーカルでさえも。有り難すぎる。

[@jon87583]

Friends at PRS: you have chosen the perfect spokesperson for your products - one of the great rock guitarists playing today, honest, humble, smart, serious, and charming all at once.

[@JohnDoe-er5vf]

One of the greatEST, my friend.

[@thecoltsnohuddle]

🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💞 Kanami

[@meibotori]

Also, Kanami is a great composer too and piano player, a talented musician! anyway there's so many good adjectives to describe her, she's an admirable woman!

[@suuugu]

見た目と喋り方の可愛さと超絶圧巻のギタープレイのキャップにめちゃめちゃやられるw

[@TieOhka]

実は　PRS GUITARS OFFICIAL ARTISTS　で選ばれてる日本人2人のうちの1人なんだな。 いつかシグネチャーモデルを。

[@koji0915s]

なにしろ癒されるし曲を作るセンスやテクニックもすごいし可愛い！天才だと思う。

[@Mad_maxman]

なんど見ても、何回聞いても、MINCHOのギターは素晴らしい。 テクニックがどうこうではなく彼女の音楽センスに揺さぶられてしまう。可愛らしく愛くるしい容姿からは想像もできない強烈なギターとの「ギャップ」、お給仕(ライブ)での激しくも強烈なリフ、これからもずっと応援します。

[@billb.5183]

She's talking guitars here so you can hear the confidence in her voice. She's normally so soft spoken and shy in interviews.

[@kyac3400]

こんな子がペンタトニックスケールの渋いフレーズを頭振りながら弾いてるんだから最高だと思います

[@j-rick]

The day I met Kanami in Tower records is the greatest day of my life!

[@sacluvsBM]

I can relate. Standing just a few feet away from her at the Echoplex last September is one of the best moments in my life. Sacramento loves Band-Maid.

[@controldenied343]

Wow,I just ｅｎｖｙ you.

[@TDiveley87]

Kanami is such a hidden gem in the music world. I'd argue the whole of BAND-MAID is. Such a powerful group of ladies and they've only just begun!

[@hafyzyahmaddzayarabey3652]

Kanami Tono ain't just a guitar Goddess. She is also a good guitar teacher to Miku Kobato "kuruppo", the founder of BAND-MAID. Long live KANAMI, long live BAND-MAID..!

[@Dtagcity]

Her songwriting is definitely the most outstanding aspect of her, the centrepiece of BM’s music.

[@mrsleep0000]

Seriously, Miku has become an incredible rhythm guitarist over the past couple years. Could give Malcolm Young a run for his money.

[@tdk903]

Kanami is a brilliant, beautiful, talented guitarist and a wonderful ambassador for rock music. Support her and Band Maid as much as possible!

[@ghostcafe1166]

シグネチャーモデルを期待します… I expect Kanami signature model...

[@williamkenny100]

Kanami world class guitarist and so cute

[@geraldgetskow3420]

Kanami is not her normal, shy self in this vid. Then again she's talking about something she cares about. Music and PRS guitars.

[@sacluvsBM]

And she is holding the guitar. That is the catalyst.

[@masonqin]

I don't even know how to play a guitar but seeing Kanami playing makes me want to buy all of them.

[@huntonpeck]

I don't think you could have picked a better spokesperson for your line of guitars. Band-Maid is currently the best rock band in the world, and Kanami is an absolutely vital part of their success.👍🎶🇯🇵💞

[@ShikataGaNai100]

My God, she is cute beyond words...with a BA degree in Economics. Mousy, shy, and bookish off-stage; a guitar demon on-stage.

[@SoryIrippedUrHeart]

Dear PRS, pls give kanami signature guitar she derserve it..

[@joki5346]

At least she already played a red anniversary guitar on her online performance on the 11th of February.

[@doripak815]

FACTS

[@hrod9393]

I don't think she's short of any offers, but I think she's still finding and exploring guitars before she can settle down on a specific signature.

[@metalishimo6645]

Beautiful woman playing the beautiful guitar.

[@vin-metal5192]

Listening to her speak and gesture the way she does, it still kind of blows my mind that this is my favorite guitarist these days!

[@sacluvsBM]

Who would of thunk it?

[@foong171183]

Unbelievable! A soft spoken lady can play PRS like a beast!

[@WeebusDweebus]

Very fitting of her to play "The Dragon Cries" with the Dragon inlayed guitar

[@fifis677]

I can't wait for them to get the recognition they deserve. The level of musicianship in Band-Maid is insane. They should definitely be playing bigger venues than they are and be getting way more attention than they are. I'm getting a Custom 24 SE soon enough. After hearing this, it seems to have a much better sound than any other brand's lower class models and push me to want to buy it even more.

[@731sheena2]

かなみんちょはもちろん、こんな天才を見つけてきたクルッポも凄いなと思いますw

[@kinglakaka]

Kanami is very lucky to play that private stock.. or that private stock is the lucky one 😄

[@philipcable7518]

A smart move by PRS. Kanami is both highly skilled and passionate about her music. I'm guessing she has had a custom guitar maid for her? If not she should have.

[@kagenotatsumaki]

"I'm guessing she has had a custom guitar **maid** for her?" Lol I see you! XD

[@fifis677]

This video sealed the deal for finally making my decision po. I bought an SE Custom 24 a few weeks ago po. Love it po!

[@kaeru2013]

ハードロック史上最も真面目で純粋なギタリスト。

[@michaelpalmer3717]

Well she sold me - I bought two! This delightful young woman is an absolute treasure. A magnificent musician and spectacular guitar player she seems to have infinite supply of skills including an angelic singing voice. Off stage she has a certain awkwardness but even this is heart melting. An extraordinary and truly wonderful woman.

[@johnryan5147]

Kanami is the greatest and nicest. Most gifted composer of our time. Smart move PRS

[@ZikyMusic]

this is what i love about Kanami : the contrast between her sweet person, and her solid playing

[@StoneShards]

If Kanami is in it, it gets a "thumbs up" from ME!

LMFAO, chill out, dude.

@@viewtifulgold4223 haters gotta hate, huh? For me, l am so glad that the few jerks who dislike Band-Maid do. I would not have it any other way. They simply are not people l even care to be around. And if people of your ilk liked Band-Maid l am very sure l would not. Go back to your Taylor Swift records.

[@commanderkrill8228]

Kanami is my personal guitar Hero:) Love you!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Even more remarkable when you realize that Kanami's first instrument was piano...she took up guitar in school. (BTW, Akane's first instrument, which she still plays, in the Trombone.)

[@sacluvsBM]

She plays the PRS because she prefers the PRS and it is nice to see her compensated for doing so. Tono Kanami is one of the best guitarists of her generation with a signature style all her own. Just one of five amazing women who have my love, support and undivided attention. Long live Band-Maid.

Thank you for english subtitles! This custom dragon must be the most beautiful guitar i ever saw! Come on PRS give Kanami her own signature model!!!

[@rockingoutdudetoo5275]

Just like Akane's drumming on Roland drums, she does not need to show off in crazy display riffs on all these PSRs. She explains very well about the products. She puts everything on stage and melt your face.

[@jerekahanpaa6458]

That's a part of the Band-Maid magic (and Kanami is their main composer): they don't overplay. Or underplay. Everything goes where it should go and when something really weird happens.

[@stimpsonjcat26]

Good to see someone wrapping the thumb around the neck. It is looked down on by teachers but is very useful in certain situations.

[@Hellion421]

For sure! I think Mark Holcomb is the one other person I've seen that actively uses his thumb when doing his thing. Definitely not common, but seems to work haha

[@drogonr9318]

Band Maid's resident musical genius. I would pay this woman whatever she wants to keep writing music; playing her guitar is just extra magic.

[@ashaide]

It's amazing how nice Kanami-sama is, considering how much of a beast she is when she's rocking that axe

[@JuanSan66]

Thank you for the subtitles and happy 35th aniversary PRS. You have selected the best musician to promote your beautiful guitars. She deserves a signature model. I would buy a Kanami PRS with no doubt.

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

American "musicians": Awesome! A PRS with a dragon on the neck! Kanami: I wonder how many materials went into the inlay? Look at the finish and how even it is. The neck pickup gives me this passionate sound... Now THAT is someone who not just appreciates the brand, but the absolute craftsmanship that goes into making a PRS guitar! Dammit Kanami...if you didn't have such a massive girl-crush on Sai-chan, I would marry you in a heartbeat!!!

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Unless you have met Kanami...and Miku...you cannot fully appreciate how tiny they are. 5'1" and 5'.

That Dragon Guitar is absolutely gorgeous!!!! I hope Kanami leaves with one... I want to see that bad boy on stage.

If she plays it at Budokan, man... That will be a fitting model for that great event!

@@VladimirChupin , definitely it will be the perfectly fitting model for the occasion. The dragon and Kanami will be a huge gap (contrast). Or, on stage something unexpected may happen again like the performances at LOGO. Looking forward to it. Cannot wait😉
