Reacting to BAND-MAID: "Blooming" MV, "Don't you tell me" Live, "Hate?" Live

[@B_lightson]

0:33 "Blooming" 5:21 "Don't you tell me" 10:14 "Hate?"

[@bradmenpes809]

Your reaction of happiness, B, and of not being able to stop smiling, is exactly the reaction I still have after listening to Band-Maid's music for four and a half years. The joy their music creates is totally real and completely infectious. After the solo in "Blooming" where Miku sings, "Far away/Take me somewhere far away," the Maids have already taken me far away to musical heaven!

[@glenkelley6799]

Great reaction and the singer Saiki wrote the lyrics; there was a lot of cheating occurring during covid lock down in the press at that time and Saiki was pissed. The singer LISA (a friend of drummer Akane) was also affected by this as her husband was caught cheating and created a big scandal. So while it's not exactly about a particular person, it did affect friends of theirs. Saiki has the reputation of being a very direct person and speaking her mind when something bothers her. New sub.

[@BRO-HI808]

Thank you. I was going to write the same, but you got it covered...LOL. PO!🕊

[@B_lightson]

Thank you for subscribing! Yes, I quickly understood that Saiki is going to speak her mind and I'm here for it! I actually love how she got angry for what happened to her friends, she must really care about them

[@falconsooner]

Really enjoyed your reaction. The joy expressed on your face said a lot

[@B_lightson]

I'm glad my emotions could shine through!

[@Kevin6059]

You asked if the guitar/bass trading solos part of Don't You Tell ME was in the original version. Answer: there is a guitar solo, which is incorporated here, but this is an expanded version for the show - which adds a guitar/bass showdown, or "conversation."

[@tamotsuish]

Thanks so much nice reaction! I enjoyed your lovely reaction! I hope you`ll enjoy Maid`s music!

[@Lee-ws8we]

What a beautiful smile and laugh you have, you seemed to be moved by Band Maid in the same way as me and all of the other Band Maid fans are, thank you for reacting to Band Maid...

[@B_lightson]

Thank you 😊

[@sugaanessena3143]

Don't you tell ME was #8 and HATE? was #27 out of a 33 song setlist that night. And it was a glorious night.

[@JazzFatcho]

First, lead guitarist Kanami writes the song. Then, rhythm guitarist Miku or lead singer SAIKI expand on the song's image and write the lyrics. As for "HATE," SAIKI wrote the lyrics because she was filled with anger after hearing that her friend's husband had cheated during the pandemic. Kanami, who always writes songs, tried to get the other members to write songs as well, giving each of them homework. Kanami collected phrases and melodies that the other members had written, and wrote BLOOMING based on them. MIKU wrote the lyrics.

[@B_lightson]

I love how they all partecipate in the creation to the songs and encourage each other to learn and create!

[@danwiesdamageinc]

1st you watched Choose Me, then Blooming? Oddly, both songs are featured in the Netflix movie - Kate.

[@JehanLSZABO]

Welcome to the world of Band MAid, plenty of joy in front of you. Definitively one of the best band at the moment. :)

[@polskabob359]

That pure joy look of like on your face , we've all seen it before, ur a maidiac now , welcome home n down the pigeon hole u go po!

[@lurkmerchant]

You have yet so many sides of them to check out. Thank you for a great first reaction.

[@curtisrrobles7885]

Loved your reaction. The "conversations "between MISA and Kanami are usually added to the Live shows and not on the studio recording. 🤙🏽

[@evilducks3710]

Thank you for coming back to Band Maid! You’re going to find it difficult to talk about a Band Maid song while it’s going because they cram them so full of interesting musical melodies, riffs, harmonies, rhythm, etc that it can be overwhelming. Just gotta buckle up and enjoy the ride. 😅 Both of the guitar trade offs are only in the live versions. They like to extend a few songs in each serving (concert)

[@B_lightson]

Thank you for coming back for my reaction! Yes, I understood that my brain was not able to make me talk while listening to all of this 😂

[@sugaanessena3143]

What an excellent selection of songs. Hey I'm biased, I would say that of (almost) any songs of Band-Maid.

[@elliott8339]

Thanks for the reactions. Three very different songs and yet they all share an intrinsic quality that is uniquely Band-Maid. These ladies are arguably the best live rock band on the planet. Their stage presence is unrivaled and is at a level most other bands only dream of ever achieving. Looking forward to your next B-M reaction video. Until then...Cheers!

[@cius2112]

for another side to them defff check out Endless Story Live.

[@roygillotti4615]

If you want to head the softer side of Band-Maid, I'd suggest Daydreaming (MV), Wonderland (Live) and Endless Story (Live)... Also maybe some of their Acoustic songs?

[@daft73games]

*BAND MAID* have this effect... Smiles, joy, inspiration, warmness, enchantment, many positive vibes! 🕊🕊🕊

[@bruceveary1758]

Well said, really!

[@stevenclark7600]

The only band on planet earth that has you smiling,non stop,they are that good,great reaction thankyou.

[@dx6479]

You have to listen to the song Puzzle Live and MV Warning and Shambles MV. Great reaction.

[@B_lightson]

Thank you for watching and for the suggestions!

[@bettyyu-h5q]

Im glad you found BandMaid and really enjoyed watching your genuine smile get wider and wider as BM ramped it up. lol. So far you've reacted to their fast and furious songs but they have a more gentler side i think you'll also enjoy: Daydreaming, Bestie, Awkward, Endless Story. thanks again

[@JayDavisAtHome]

To answer your question the bass and guitar solos are not on the original recordings they were added for the live performance. And you just happened to pick two songs that have them

[@brunobryant4846]

Great seeing your face light up, it's what these amazing Rock Goddesses do to people all over the world, they are true ambassadors of enjoyment and happiness. Cheers from Australia 👍🍻

[@johnstroup3868]

Few songs with 'hate' in the title and lyrics showing obvious disdain for the target of the hate, can make someone smile. I think it's partly because all the Maid's music makes one smile, and partly because I am, for sure, not the object of their hatred. Excellent reaction.

[@tonygriffin_]

The best band in the history of bands. Put them on headphones and turn the volume to 11 for maximum impact! Thank you. I enjoyed your very appreciative reaction to THE best Hard Rock band on Earth.

[@leeredose9192]

Nice reaction greeting from germany

[@interstellardave]

I think you’re officially a Maidiac now! They are sensational in every way, aren’t they? I’ve seen some of the best rock and metal bands live in my 58 years and I can say that seeing Band Maid live in 2022 is way, way, up on the list of best concerts I’ve been to. Up there with legendary bands like Rush, and Yes, in terms of musicianship (though, yeah, the styles are very different) and, in terms of a fun live show, second to none.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Band-Maid. Blooming Brilliant! Thx, Bianca!

[@jeffedwards9180]

Well, you covered both of their most recent guitar/bass conversations. Glad to see you're enjoying them. 🤘

[@DaElfer]

band maid. bringing joy to the masses since 2013. They have lots of stamina. They are NOT 10 minutes of limp music hehehe. That was a 3 hour concert and it was brilliant right to the end. You can check out their last song of the concert called "Endless Story" which you can tell is a huge thank you to the fans

[@corridor1954]

I'm from Japan. Thank you for the great reaction video.👍 I have a lot of songs I would like to recommend, But I would like to recommend Endless Story, The last song from the same concert. I think you will be able to see a different side of BAND-MAID.

[@BRO-HI808]

Great reaction Princess B. Love seeing reactors totally enjoying and being amazed by the Maids. "Blooming" continues to be in my two top songs, and it is a composition masterpiece. To answer your question, the bonus for their Masters and Princesses for attending their Okyu-ji's (what the Maids call their live concert, which translates to "servings"), are extended/added solos and intros. The conversations between MISA (Bass) and Kanami (Lead Guitar) in "Don't you tel ME" and "HATE?" Official Live Videos are added solos, at least most of it. As impressive as they are, unfortunately only a part of the solos are in the original recordings. Keep rocking with the Maids! Their portfolio is deep and diverse. Looking forward to your next reaction. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘

[@B_lightson]

Thank you for watching my reaction and for writing this informations! I know that artists usually need to use a shorter version for albums, but it's actually nice to have a surprise in the live version ☺

[@gaborberkes468]

Welcome 👍 Don't forget the Puzzle official live video ,Onset official live video, From now on MV, Warning MV, Domination live... Enjoy

[@mikeholmes5308]

Great reactions, B!

[@StoveLad]

8:50 "I felt like I was being enchanted" me too, every time. some times you'll forget to breath... I think that's why Kanami's solos are short. and like some others said grab a pair of headphones. and for your first reaction with headphones I suggest Puzzle Live the mix is so good in that video. sounds better than the studio version IMO.

[@BM4-Life]

Welcome back *B* always wonderfully to see your reactions to *BAND-MAID* 🤗

[@B_lightson]

Thank you for coming back to see my reaction 😄

[@jkkansasband7056]

3 great performances down. Only 75+ more to go. We are here to help. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Peace. 1.55

[@waynebenedict5785]

The Maidiac's are a friendly and dedicated group.

[@philproffitt8363]

A wonderful band...they'll give you a lift evey time you listen 👍😁

[@BM4-Life]

It appears you are using the speakers on you laptop to listen to the music may I suggest afterward listening to these song with head phones or ear buds their music is so Intricate that PC speakers does not do it justice 🤗

[@StoveLad]

For the ultimate listening experience I suggest attending a concert.

[@GaijinPaul]

In-ear monitors for me -- inexpensive these days even. I miss lots of Misa's intricate and awesome bass on small speakers. Misa's sound is also best felt as well as heard -- so live (best, twice!) or at least a stereo I probably can't play without being arrested 🙂

[@chrisegbertky]

When people excel at their craft, and do so with joy and passion, we want to be part of the celebration. Thank you Ms. B for giving us yet again an occasion for celebrating this impossibly hard rocking band!

[@paulpetersen879]

It is nearly impossible to pick a bad song by the Maids.

[@cbus4126]

Just to add: Saiki, stilleto heels. Miku, Mary Janes platform heels. MISA, barefoot. And their lives shows can be 18 to 20+ songs.

[@bradmenpes809]

And many more. I think the 10th Anniversary Yokohama show was over 30 songs.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

Two words... Day yum.

[@zer0tzer0]

Exhausted? For their 10 Year Anniversary Tour finale they played 33 songs for over 3 hours. You should check out the very last song, 'Endless Story'. It's very emotional. But no, the Call & Response "Battles" aren't part of the original songs. They're added for the LIVE performance. The one for 'Don't You Tell ME' isn't even the best version. For that you have to track down the Zepp Tokyo LIVE concert. It's the 9th song in. It was taken off KZbin along with the Studio Coast stuff ahead of a DVD release and was only on the Chinese site Bilibili. Some of it has come back on the Instrumental Maid Channel.

[@B_lightson]

I need to know what kind of vitamins they take 😂 33 songs are a lot already and they play like this?! The are really incredible

[@zoob6510]

It's better to listen with headphones.

[@gordowg1wg145]

I think we have a new MAIDIAC 😎👍🥰 BTW, the sound quality on "HATE?" was rather poor - I hope it was an problem with the recording, as they actually sound MUCH better than that! Oh, next maybe the "Manners" and "Black Hole" double, or "The Dragon Cries" for one of their ballads?

[@BM4-Life]

Can you do more *BAND-MAID* miss you over here 😊

great reaction. I hope you can get a little help with your sound. the music is very low and tiny

[@加島弘一-j5w]

貴女は、非常に美しい！

[@MichaelRees1969]

The reason you don't see their faces for the first part of blooming mv is because of 2 reasons 1 they wanted viewers to concentrate on the music and 2. A lot of people didn't think they were playing the songs (miming). To counteract that they put out a few videos of them playing in solo of cover songs Akane covered a Maximum the hormone on a really small kit and blew people away as the song is very complicated. Hate? is allegedly about a girl friend of Saiki (Vocalist) who husband had an affair with someone during lockdown. Saiki wasn't too impressed as you can tell.

[@B_lightson]

Oh I didn't know this, but I imagined that it could have been difficult for them at least at the beginning. They probably had to fight a lot of prejudices

[@VegetaRabbit]

Great reaction! Saiki, the lead singer, wrote HATE?, the lyrics are inspired by a conversation with a friend about her ex.. An all-girl band that has experienced some backlash is Voice of Baceprot from Indonesia. You can check out their song God, Allow Me (Please) To Play Music here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYG5oJKHrrhjftk

[@chrisegbertky]

Please don't sleep on Voice of Bacophet! They are quite good musically and even more impressive are their lyrics! I bet you a kazillion dollars you will appreciate these young women!

[@B_lightson]

I quickly read some informations and I'm interested in reacting to them! I will do it in the future

You have to change your audio.....going thru your mic doesn't cut it

[@boxicuk1620]

[@donaldbohn3183]

You need to work on your audio. You are louder than they are and lacks bass, which I need for my dose of Misa!

[@堀江大介-q5n]

If you liked this video, I'm not the type you like, You should definitely see it I would like to introduce three more girl rock bands. LoveBites, "Set the world on fire" NEMOPHILA / REVIVE [Official Music Video], Gacharic Spin “MindSet”, You won't regret it. If you're interested in the songs from 30 years ago that formed the foundation for an all-girl rock band, プリンセス　プリンセス “GET CRAZY!” Show-Ya - 私は嵐(Music Video) You can get a good idea of ​​the level of Japanese girl rock bands.
