Reacting to a review of Sayonakidori and Rock in me by BAND-MAID from the US tour

Hello all, I wanted to give Miku some love by featuring 2 of her performances during the US tour on my channel.

It seems pretty obvious if you go to live shows, that studio recordings can't easily capture the passion and emotions of a live performance. Great rection- glad you got to see them. Miku is a real treasure.

I bet Miku loves Rock In me on stage : in this song, she has no guitar, so she can take her microphone in hand, and therefore, go anywhere and do anything. In the other songs, she has to use a fixed microphone and can't move or jump as much as she wants, specialy if she's the main singer : it must be very hard for her ...

Band Maid gives me my music, from Classical to pop to punk to Classic Rock to Grunge to Punk to Southern Rock to Jazz to Metal to Hard Rock. They are the full package and the Real Deal. And their music and their personalities makes me admire them more and more every day. And they are lead by by a strong determined woman who doesn't take no for an answer. And whose dreams encompass the entire world.

Indeed..without our small pigeon 🕊there would be no BAND-MAID..so I am very grateful to her for that..alot poorer...but grateful..hehe!....And Kanami with backing vocals..sweeet!!!... 🥰

[@paulread4886]

What a little gem of happiness and joy the girl is. Yes , you were right, i WAS smiling all the way thru and after her songs, especially Rock In Me. Bless our little Pidgeon for all her hard work and play. She brightens up people's lives , all over the world as a only a truly great artist and entertainer can. Po. She that does that rare thing onstag e.. A Joy Transfer to her fans.

Well put Paul!

[@kyles5513]

I think Miku's best song is Time. Especially the sibuya 2020 live version. It's actually a really well put together song.

[@rickwagner-]

The version of 'Sayonakidori' from the acoustic set last Christmas was exceptionally good. It's currently up on their official KZbin channel.

[@philcalvino884]

Even the difference between the no-audience okyu-jis and fully live is stark. When Miku and the other band members get in front of a responsive crowd, everything gets turned up to 11.

[@Leon-yg5gm]

it was awesome seeing every US crowd cheering HARD for her at that high note.

[@Aaronacer]

So funny you mentioned the Phillipines and "po". I act as a mod for a channel that has done a few reactions for a particular Filipino group, and so many comments have po in them. I was wondering if they were big fans of Miku, but now I know! Great review!

[@FilAmConnections]

I grew up in the Philippines saying Po, so when I heard Miku for the first time, it reminded me of my childhood. It still sounded strange, but I probably got used to it faster than most 😂

[@JK-tz6kk]

The 2021 Christmas Acoustic version of Sayonakidori (+Time) is a superb arrangement (lower key), where Miku was able to hit that last high note with a solid mixed voice. It would be an awesome reaction, Po! 🦍🍌

[@michaelbiscay9836]

We got these two back-to-back in Dallas. It was so awesome!

[@FilAmConnections]

Double dose of Miku, that’s rare.

[@laughingbuddha2948]

A living doll, in the best sense of the word.

[@Leon-yg5gm]

the craziest part about this to me is that she always does her solo vocal songs after omajinai, where she screams her fucking voice out like no tomorrow.

[@polskabob359]

I was there for rock in me , such as great show

[@ranger_a6953]

Cuteness at 120db is gonna be impressive no matter what :)

[@makmiskell3733]

Great!

[@EliseAutoXr]

Great reaction... I agree with all your comments, good stuff.

[@FilAmConnections]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

[@KarstenThorsen]

I think it is Miku in the backing track of Sayonakidori. I am not 100% sure, but her voice is a lot deeper when she is not hyped up.

[@FilAmConnections]

Yeah, I’ve heard her harmonize with Saiki using high to low registers. Miku has a surprisingly varied range. It just sounded like Saiki to me, but I could be wrong.

[@rickwagner-]

It's been confirmed in interviews that it's Saiki quoting from 'Romeo and Juliet'.

[@FilAmConnections]

@@rickwagner- thanks for the info. Romeo and Juliet huh? The amount of details the Maids include in their songs are just phenomenal. That’s why I love them!

[@KarstenThorsen]

@@rickwagner- Damn. I finally thought I could tell them apart. Guess I will have to go through their entire catalogue again. Oh the horror 😁 I do find it interesting that in their first songs they are hard to tell apart, then it gets easier (Saiki is more raw, more power, Miku is softer). But recently it is getting difficult again. Saiki sometimes goes softer, and Miku has more power. It is confusing when I cannot see who is singing (or speaking in this case) I love both of them though, and confusion is not a stranger to me 😁

[@britwill72jp]

I'd love to see them playing "Rock In Me" in the Rock Fes, in front of all the metal heads😏

[@FilAmConnections]

😂🤘

[@doobiejones9388]

I don't have a favorite Maid. They make each other better. The sum is greater than the parts. 1+1+1+1+1 equals infitimy. But Miku is the one that saw that and put it All together. No ego just vision. The pigeon is amazing. Thanks brother PO 😊😎🤘

[@FilAmConnections]

Hail to the Pigeon!
