There is an interesting story behind "Black Hole". According to Akane, Kanami asked her how fast she could drum. Akane said around 190 bpm. Then Kanami went off and wrote "Black Hole" that peaks at 220 bpm! So Akane goes and writes the drum patterns for the track. She wrote 7, for the band to choose which one. She labelled them: 1. Easy 2. Comfortable 3. Normal 4. Possible if I work hard 5. Tough 6. Painfull 7. Hell Akane said "Of course, the band chose Hell"! My recommendation for next would be their latest live video of "Don't You Tell ME". It's mind-blowing!

[@CoachCastTV]

What a great background story!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Cool info kawaii Davey. And during practice of "Black Hole" each of the Maids agreed that if anyone couldn't keep up then they dropped out. Not that anyone did of course.😌

[@javiervicedo4201]

@@CoachCastTV The good thing is that they chose 'Hell' directly, without hearing the others, so Akane had no choice. I imagine Akane making the same face as the Internet kittens. Big eyes, mouth open, freezed...

I imagine when Akane heard Kanami ask Herman Li about the fast song his group had and he said 225 bpm, she fainted, lol!

[@CommanderCronus]

At least with Band Maid there's no danger of you picking a bad song. They don't have any bad songs.

[@coaltarrain]

The lyrics of 'Manners' express their band's history. Groove, Beginning, Difficult, Progress, Courage...

[@GSpotter63]

I like the way they successfully communicate the panic and chaos of falling into a black hole. Amazing.

[@BillHallisey]

It's interesting that Misa, the bassist, has said "Manners" is her favorite song to play. The bass groove in this song is amazing. Kanami, the lead guitarist, IS a shred-queen!!!!! The next song I suggest you jump to is their most recent KZbin release from their 10th Anniversary finale concert in Yokohama. The song "Don't You Tell ME", the official live video, is in my opinion from a jaded old (75 y/o) person who has seen a lot of rock and roll in his life) how present and future rock bands should perform. Then you can and react go back and react to "Daydreaming" ,"Smile", "Memorable", and "About US". These are great rock ballads from the band. In another vein, Band Maid's acoustic online oku-ji (concert) in December 2021 really show the talent and versatility of the group. It has a different setting, different outfits for the Maids but was a wonderful Christmas for their fans. One song "Sayonakidori" showcases Miku, the rhythm guitarist's, vocal talent.

[@CoachCastTV]

Great comment 👍

[@zinoviylubman5553]

Thats why Band Maid is the best band in the world, they simply don't have bad songs, every new song you check become your favorite. So next time you can check any song you want, satisfaction guaranteee (or your money back)

[@jonathonkrueck4028]

Good selections

[@surfingasongwave]

These two songs are like two corners of a box, across from each other, but they don't represent _all_ of Band-Maid's range. I will cast a vote for one of the other corners of the box, the three songs written about their relationship with their fans. They are *"Smile,"* *"About Us,"* and *"Memorable."* The first one is a B side of the *"Bubble"* single and refers to how they feel seeing smiles on the faces looking at them while they are on stage. There is an excellent live stream version from 2021. The second one was written as a response to seeing social media from their fans during the pandemic, and they premiered it during the live stream that replaced their planned Budokan serving in February 2021. The third one was written during their first tour outside Japan in October 2022, when they were not sure how they would be received after three years without touring. All three of these songs are personal, gentle, and very touching. They will change your opinion of the band. I agree with Coach, I fell in love with *"Manners"* the first time I heard it when the music video was released just before the "Unseen World" album was released. The album has a concept; they released the limited edition as two CDs: CD 1 is titled 原点回帰盤 (Return to Roots) and CD 2 is titled 現点進化盤 (Progress from Here). The album was conceived and recorded during 2020, the pandemic year, and it has a lot anxiety and frenzy in it. They gave interviews when the album was released and Kanami in particular was very distraught that she couldn't spend her days with her friends creating and playing music. They used Line (equivalent to Zoom) and had a continuous conference call going from morning to night. But they adapted, some of them bought new computers and interfaces so they could record and email ideas back and forth, and they released the album in January 2021. Some notable "Progress" tracks are *"Giovanni,"* *"H-G-K,"* 本懐 (Honkai, or *"Ambition")* and of course *"Black Hole."* Notable "Roots" tracks are *"Chemical Reaction,"* *"Why Why Why,"* and a Miku-sung track サヨナキドリ (Sayonakidori, or *"Nightingale")* and of course *"Manners."* I was listening to this album in the car just yesterday and I sometimes forget the bonus track on the "Roots" CD called *"Youth."* It is not available on KZbin or Spotify or any of the streaming services, and it is fantastic! Summer sunshine captured in music! It is as carefree as "Black Hole" is anxious! Thanks for listening and talking about Band-Maid. I think they are a generational band. Whether or not they ever get the recognition they deserve in Japan or the West, Kanami Tōno is a special composer and she has a special band around her to make her compositions become reality. And Mrs. Coach; it's so good to take a chance and try all the dishes from around the world! You won't like everything, but you will at least know that it is there! There is a statement in the Conclusion of *"The Innocents Abroad"* by Mark Twain: _Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things can not be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime._

Outstanding quote to finish off a great comment. Thank you so much for hanging out with us.

[@davidpinney4091]

Manners was instantly one of my favorite songs of theirs and after a few listens Black Hole joined it. Of course my list of favorite Band Maid songs makes up a 4 hour plus playlist so I completely understand Mrs Coach’s not being able to decide lol.

[@greylocke100]

Only 4 hours? I just checked 1 of my Band-Maid only playlists, and the shortest is 7 hours. But it is full of live versions in addition to the studio versions.

[@davidpinney4091]

To be fair, I only found them in November lol. That’s just my Spotify playlist for driving, make a weekly trip that’s just under 4 hours. I should probably take a second look at it though, Warning alone has resulted in two speeding tickets.

[@greylocke100]

Ahh, ok. I stripped the audio from the concerts and edited them into individual tracks. So I have multiple live versions of many of their songs. I even stripped the audio from some of the fan cams with the best audio I could find for certain songs.

[@davidpinney4091]

"Insanely talented." Yes indeed! Thanks for reacting! "Black Hole" is a masterpiece, in my humble opinion, but it took me many listens to fully grok what is going on in that song. For Mrs. C., I'd suggest "Memorable," "Daydreaming" (one of the few rock songs that ever blew dust in my eyes), "Anemone" acoustic, "Bubble," and "About Us."

manners is one of my favorites. I actually say this live stream concert when it happened live, I have been a madiac for years, that was my first concert but I did get to see them live last year. There is an acoustic version. Blackhole is just insane for the speed. Amazing how they can play so well live. Still my favorite hard rock band and I am old enough to remember the 80s.

No, "Different" is the song they wrote as the opening theme to the anime "Log Horizon" There is a MV version plus a live version available on their channel. The live version is also a double feature with their song "Dice".

[@tonygriffin_]

Excellent reaction and happy to see Band-Maid have helped push the gate open into the Wonderland that is 21st century Rock ('n' Roll!) - they usually just break new gate! MANNERS is a song where Miku's talents get to shine - her vocal harmonies, her rhythm guitar scrapes and licks and her wonderful lyrics - she always writes so meaningfully. Also, I think Kanami composed a masterpiece with the music for MANNERS. 🤘🤘While I'd happily add a 100 of their songs to the no doubt ever growing list of recommendations for your next Band-Maid reaction, I'll just recommend two that show another side to them entirely, from their 14 song acoustic set they released on christmas day 2021. They really mixed it up on this gig, performing most songs with all 5 members but also a couple with different combinations of just 3 members and even a couple of duets. The first is the whole band performing a song called CATHARSIS ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqmcmWdnnMaBpZI ) and the second is a real gem with Miku on vocals and acoustic guitar, Akane on drums played with rods, not sticks, and also singing harmonies and MISA on electric bass, called SAYONAKIDORI ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjdcoSfnMZ_Z5Y ) which means 'Nightingale' and is my favourite Japanese word as it translates beautifully as SA (small) YO (dawn/night) NAKI (singing) DORI (bird). You haven't heard Miku sing before...and I know Mrs Coach mentioned her singing last time...and I can't think of any more unsubtle hints!

[@CoachCastTV]

Appreciate this. Thank you!

[@davidmejia7908]

There are some Band Maid songs that take more than one listen to "understand", Black Hole is one of them, the more you listen to it the more you pick up things and how it all fits together. We know they can do the rock/metal/thrash thing and do it really well, the thing that really blows my mind is how beautifully they can do ballads or other "soft" songs like "Wonderland", "About Us", etc. They are truly talented and always give us their best effort, something I really appreciate.

[@jamesredman1263]

Re what David Mejia said: "the more you listen to it the more you pick up things" I'm in a similar place with some of their fastest and most chaotic numbers. First listen I feel overwhemed and put off. Next time my brain is starting to discern the individual instrument lines and I am feeling a bit better. After that I am getting more comfortable listening with some degree of appreciation for it as a piece of art. And so while Black Hole etc. might not become my faves, I respect and even like them to a degree. Manners, while experimental in its own way, is more melodic and immediately accessible for me and absolutely a favorite. And anything with Misa doing her Dark Angel magic soulful bass and cutting a groove like a plow is gonna have my heart NOW. Chemical Reaction ya know?

Hello from England. I just binge watched all of your Band Maid reactions. Great stuff!! In this, Mrs. Coach mentions versatility.

Black Hole is amazing once you are comfortable with it, and appreciate all the intricacies. It should, honestly, be one part of a 25 minute multi-part sci-fi prog-rock track. I’d love to see it expanded upon, with quieter, mid-tempo sections interspersed with heavier and crazier parts like Black Hole. Kanami, I’ll hold your beer while you start on that!

That difference was why people wanted you to watch this. 'Black Hole' is a mind twister for everyone the first time, and pairing it with a laid back tune like 'Manners?' Someone was having a giggle. 'Black Hole' sounds like a car crash, much like 'Different,' on first listen. Not saying you need to, but the more you listen to 'Black Hole' the more it does makes sense. I think they were all just experimenting, writing something that would push them to their limits to perform live.

[@andersmorell5396]

Thank you for your reaction and welcome to the Unseen World, the name of the album. Manners is literally my #1 song as the MV started my musical journey with the maids. It doesn't mean I think it is the best song by Band Maid but it is very special to me and I love both the MV and this version of Manners, yet I do regard the studio version/MV as somewhat overproduced, the bass should be a little bit higher up in the mix, the vocals are fantastic though, while this online live I regard as its true representation. I do consider Black Hole a masterpiece but it took me about 20 listen or so, maybe more, before the bulk of the composition started to fall into place and I could really relax and enjoy it. What I love about Band Maids music is that I can go back and listen to songs over and over again and discover things that I didn't catch the first time. Black Hole is also on Unseen World and I hold the album to be one of the best I have ever heard, all categories. If you are interested I suggest and link, Don't you tell me, official live.

Akane goes nuts with the drums in "No God". Incredibly fast! I'd say "Manners" is my favourite of these two. The one I often watch for is Miku, the rhythm guitarist/singer. So many reactors don't say much about her, because rhythm guitar isn't in your face. It's in the background quite often. But in both of these songs, you can hear her playing quite prominently. She sets the tone of "No God". She has that groove in "Manners". Just love it.

Manners is for "classic" rock fans. Black Hole pulls in the progressive rock people. The Maids have stated that Manners is their core sound. For their most pop sound, try Start Over. Light jazzy, pop feel. And then there are their many acoustic versions, showing another side of their abilities.

[@johnarksey9460]

It's close, but as good as this performance is, Manners might be the rare BM song where the Music Video is better than the live version - one of my top 5 songs of theirs for sure - love that old school classic rock vibe.. you seem to prefer their straight-up hard rock songs so I'd suggest you check out Freezer and FATE - both are classic rock style gems... no MV's available easily available, but you can find the audio tracks on their YT channel

So, believe it or not, these 2 songs are from the same album "Unseen world", which came out at the beginning of 2021.

Here is another way to see BAND MAIDs Versatility. Do a double reaction for the song PUZZLE - same song done 2 different ways. Acoustic version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6qtpa2GoMyNisU - Rock version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKfYoqCJhqqhl6M

It sounds as though Mrs Coach only got to hear some of that rather boring predictable hard rock of the 80s and 90s. Band-maid have busted this genre wide open and show how it should be done now. There was some great earlier hard rock but it didn't develop into anything different or better. Great reaction- Thanks.

I don’t see any NEMOPHILA reactions on your channel. They are another all-female five-piece from Japan with songs displaying a great diversity in styles but alway delivering an uplifting message. Try two of their most recent OMVS to get a sense of their musical range: AMA-TE-RAS and ODYSSEY.

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks, that group has been mentioned and is on our radar. We appreciate the suggestions.

"Monochrome" just means one colour - almost always referring to a plain 'black and white' format without colour or, in this case, a boring life without anything to make it exciting, or interesting.

And yes, The Warning recorded a song called "Black Holes" way before Band-Aid-Made did. Band-Aid-Made copied The Warning's title so that when The Warning fans typed in Black Holes, maybe they would land on Band-Aid-Made's channel etc. Kinda ch*cken sh*t if ya ask me. ALSO...wait for it...Band-Aid-Made also recorded a song called Warning...same thing here...they're hoping when people type in "The Warning" that somehow they would end up on Band-Aid-Made's channel with "Warning" track. Ch*cken sh*t strategy.

[@CoachCastTV]

We really enjoy both bands and think both are extremely talented. We've seen a few songs called "Black Hole" from multiple artists. Not sure that's exclusive to a band. Those are both pretty generic terms.

[@RottenPoliticians]

@@CoachCastTV But not from the perspective of all female rock bands, daawwwggg. C'mon now. BUT! Not just Black Holes....they recorded "Warning" also...huh?

[@RottenPoliticians]

@@CoachCastTV Never said you didn't enjoy both bands, hell, I think Band-Aid-Made are better musicians than The Warning...but it is twat it tis.

[@ianian8874]

They have not reacted to Demi Lovato and the Ariana Grande collaboration song :/

[@user-kr6ek6jw8c]

hank you for nice reaction. I recommend Live "Turn Me On" (Zepp Tokyo) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqKYo3uXjtd-qJo "DICE" (MV) & "YOLO" (MV) kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGkiqGMf71sebs kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXy9k62ZismMZ8k "On set" (Live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fVf2CglLqWZrc "Don't you tell ME" (Live) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2i5onxsrsamldE

“Manners” chorus is very reminiscent of “Free Your Mind” by EnVogue. Check it out. It’s a sneaky bluesy groove that they fully Maidified. Not sure where you heard “monochrome?” No lyric like that here. My guess is that Saiki’s heavy accent was at play there. I’m not a fan of “Black Hole”; just too much chaos for my liking. However, that’s the two edged sword of Band Maid’s incredibly varied catalog. They have music appeal to nearly everyone; however, not sure anyone can love every single song. Why not explore some of their early stuff as well. So many gems. “Don’t You Tell ME,” just got a new official live. “Freedom,” also live, is one of the fan favorites that goes over so well for a crowd. Or, if you like the groove and the killer riffage? I highly, passionately recommend “Moratorium,” (live of course) I wonder if you realize how many hit songs these ladies have written? You’re in for a real shock

[@CoachCastTV]

Thanks for these suggestions. The monochrome shows on the lyrics at the end of verse 1. It's on the lyric video and just looked up the English lyrics online and that does appear accurate. Appreciate you watching! 🙏

[@the_realmkc4452]

Hoping for more Rosé covers and more CLC reactions

[@paddyofurniture4681]

Filthy riff, greasy. 2 others I can think off the top of my head is I Seek Revenge and I'll; these two songs are greasy AF as well. And then of course Black Hole takes you deep into space at top speed. Hang on!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, BAND-MAID does not block official videos and official lives. They appreciate reactors and realize that it is reviews that put them on the charts. Saiki has often calls out reviewers at live events.
