{REACTION} Band-Maid / From Now On (MV)

[@surfingasongwave]

They really *are* a treasure. What a wonderful gift!

[@Running-withscissors]

"The more I listen to BAND-MAID the more abstract my analyses become." I laughed so hard, but its a truly accurate observation I think many of us have experienced. 😆

[@knightofthefivemaids]

Kanami has finally her signature guitar sound to be distinctive from everyone else . And I'm loving it

[@toshimatyu6654]

From Japan I feel BAND-MAID's new side of classical hard rock. They seem to have mastered classical and dramatic songwriting with the theme of SENCE and Down Winery. With a short setlist for the festival, they had the perfect opening song to wow the audience.

[@davidmejia7908]

They are really hitting their stride with UNLEASH and all the great tracks on it. There is never any throw away songs on any of their albums. They continually surprise and amaze, truly a treasure as you said. Pretty much the only music I listen to.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Hi Buffy. Atronomers have found that the Earth doesn't actually revolve around the sun, it revolves around BAND-MAID....probably.😏

[@markhayes9004]

Just probably?

[@はるとも-d5y]

they are saints the reason why Japandse people are said to be workaholic is that they transced their litmits and set their own occupations and things they should do as goals in life unfortunately, i think the reason they are not yet famous in Japan is because many people do not undersand that manga , anime games are modern art

if maid outffis are gimmicks, so are Michelangelo and Leonardo dc Vinci

@@はるとも-d5y Hi Hat i'm replying to you on another acc cos all my replies are disappearing. Yeah it's sad that that's the case cos Manga & anime are both art forms imo. P.S i tried 5 times the other day to reply to one of your comments & each time it disappeared.🤷‍♂️

@@grayh4269 if you have the chance , i want to watch the anime movie " summer wars" MIKU is a favorite movie and its directed by an old acquaintance of mine it's a movie about MIKU's ideal family love

This is for all those people that say her solo's aren't long enough. This is almost a solo for the complete song.

I cannot fathom how such a gentle soul.can produce this kind of a guitar line

[@greylocke100]

Obi Wan Kanami got you with her Jedi Guitar trick.

[@bandmaidfanATL]

That smile at 0:52 was like "Man, every time!" Or "Man, I've missed this!"

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Haha. It's sooo true.😁

[@philcalvino884]

Your comment about knowing what's going to happen, but then still being surprised when it does. That happens _all_ the time to me with Band-Maid. Everything is just so well-composed and executed. Thanks, SB!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Many of us just recently saw Band-Maid play “From Now On” live. OMNG! Kanami riffed her ass off. And the BPM’s matched the DB's! 😶‍🌫Thx, SkiBuff!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Kanami's sound you heard would be her using her Eventide Octave harmonizer pedal playing an octave higher.🤓

[@joki5346]

I remember Rory Gallagher used it already in the 80s, but I have never been a friend of this sound. It feels too thin for me.

[@geoffb5]

Love-love-love this MV.

[@keithmeyer9558]

You know how geniuses like Kanami can get power hungry. She may go to far with this world Domination. I will take one for the team and keep an eye on her .

[@interstellardave]

People who write them off because of the outfits are morons. Like there’s some “magic” about just coming out in regular clothes? Jeans and a t-shirt means you’re legit? If that was true Band Maid wouldn’t be able to musically kick the asses of those groups--yet they do!

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Lone bass drop at start blew my mind!

[@TheJerm]

Legit one of my favorite songs...by any band...EVER. The only reason it's not my favorite Band-Maid track ("Blooming") is because Saiki's not singing. The number of MASTERPIECES this band has is freakin' mind-blowing. Happy Holidays, SBR! 🕊

[@emilyinoregon6967]

It's one of my favorite songs too! Everyone also seems to have a favorite part to this one. Mine is 5:59 to 6:13 on this video. Followed closely by around 2:49 on this video (that little crunch Kanami does right after the drum fill). The crazy thing is that From Now On, Without Holding Back, Onset, and Sayonakidori are my favorite Band-Maid songs -- and Saiki is ALSO my favorite singer!😀

[@TheJerm]

@@emilyinoregon6967 How cool is that?! Your fav songs (I'd argue all Masterpieces, TYVM) don't have your fav singer in them. Ya know, this might be a pretty good band. 😁

[@emilyinoregon6967]

@@TheJerm I know, right? 🤣 I thought it was so funny when I realized it. Speaking of Saiki's amazing vocals, I just finished dealing with the website and the fan club and FINALLY, the CD of the acoustic show is gonna be in my hot little hands! Can't wait! 😀🎀🕊️

[@TheJerm]

@@emilyinoregon6967 Awesome! And thanks for reminding me to get that very same CD! That acoustic show was when I realized that Band-Maid were actual Goddesses and I wasn't just imagining it. 🤣Saiki just BLEW ME AWAY! 🤯

[@emilyinoregon6967]

@@TheJerm Good luck! For me, with shipping it was about $65. Worth it though, and most likely better than it'll eventually go for on eBay. I remember Manners and Different being especially good, I'm looking forward to those!

[@bruceveary1758]

Thank you for your reactions and for your on-going support of Band Maid! Happy New Year!

[@Kevin6059]

I was shocked to find that this was my favorite song when I saw them live. It just blows your doors off 🤘

[@Willywin]

Band Maid got me buying music again.

[@drogonr9318]

So beautiful.

[@ryanrusstey6677]

That girl is on 🔥...

[@johnmatthew102]

Which girl?

[@makmiskell3733]

Happy Thanksgiving! Kanami!

[@TlanImass]

Had to read up on the Eventide Harmonizer after listening to your video. lol, Oh my, what a pedal! I wonder if Kanami-san got the Preview version of the new model or she's been using the old model. I think the first time I heard this "synth" type of sounds from the band is on Screaming. I could be wrong though.

[@billb.5183]

Sadly, a lot of people in Japan don't give them a chance and consider them an idol band of "old maids" since all of them (except Saiki) are in there thirties now. Crazy, right?

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Not crazy, just F**in' stupid :)

[@testmankk3405]

I have never found any articles that they are an idol band. They are mostly regarded as good. If they were not so popular as you expected, it is just because their music is not preferred.

[@billb.5183]

@@testmankk3405 Yeah ok. Whatever you say. Always nice to have fact checkers on the job. 😀

[@Kevin6059]

This song just flat out kicks your ass, and should be their opener 'from now on.' 😁 My completely unfounded (and probably wrong) theory is that this guitar tone is something Mincho came up with because you can hear the other band-members more easily. It has a lot of overtones but it takes out the lower and mid range sounds of the PRS. That said, it's not quite as pronounced in their live shows - which I liked better because I'm not a huge fan of this new tone on every song. I mean I like it but I prefer the big fat tones we used to get on World Domination, etc. Like you though, I love that they're not afraid to experiment like crazy, and even more risky, to write compositions that push their abilities to the very limit. Mostly, I want them to keep having fun and keep doing what they want to do - because I want them to still be around for a long, long time!

[@Glenner7]

HI Mr. Skippy! I'm curious, will you be reacting to Hate? from the EP soon?

[@kennogawa6638]

I thought Onset was good but this sounds better.
