BAND-MAID/Choose Me (Official Music Video) || Goth Reacts

[@Space_Ranger]

Best rock band in the world right now. Hard rock core surrounded by punk, metal, blues, jazz, you name it. No to songs exactly the same and all hits. I have yet to find a bad song.

[@denabach]

This is a band that's even better live. 100% guaranteed !

[@brettmarlar4154]

They have loads of live videos. They truly don't have a bad song. "No God", "Puzzle", "Cross" , "Freedom", and "Domination" are among their best live videos on KZbin.

[@DanAbugow]

"they truly dont have a bad song" yessssss even in their beginnings with their pop rock. That was solid too. Be Ok is one of my jams

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Welcome aboard, Slashley. You are embarking on (along with many others - over 174 million YT views plus over 40 million reactor plays!) an awesome, progressive, hard-rock journey with 5 incredible women. Here's my intro blurb for those who may be new to Band-Maid: BAND-MAID’s songs and sound beat with the heart and soul of all rockers. But you’ll also hear heavy influences of Prog, Punk, Metal and Pop, with nice touches of Blues, Jazz, Funk and Grunge. Sometimes they use multiple genres within the same song. Their Composition, Execution, Joy of Playing, Consistency (125 songs), Uniqueness, Charisma, Charm and, oh yeah, Cuteness factor, position them as becoming the hard rock Beatles of our time! In other words, they’re destined for mega-stardom. Each member's personalities are super interesting and their musicianship among the best. Their writing, arrangements and overall sound, especially guitar tones and drums, are kick-ass! Having seen them LIVE, I can honestly say their performance, sound, stage appearance, and band synergy is off-the-rails spectacular! Band-Maid is the only band in decades where I love nearly EVERY song they’ve done. I have over 70 favorites! "Thrill" (2014) is a great place to start: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XWaJppgpJnorM Their songs from albums Unleash, Unseen World, Conqueror, World Domination, Just Bring It, Brand New Maid, and New Beginning drive even more - Warning, No God, Different, Black Hole, Rinne, Blooming, Moratorium, Domination, Clang, Dice, Spirit, Don’t You Tell Me, Turn Me On, Fate, Play, Hide-And-Seek, Secret My Lips, Puzzle, Choose Me, I Can’t Live Without You, and on and on. But don’t miss out on their powerful, beautifully written, mid-tempo songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, At The Drop Of A Hat, Mirage and Smile... or more punky like After Life, Don’t Let Me Down and Screaming… or funky like Bubble… or bluesy like Manners and The Dragon Cries… or poppy like Start Over… or a bit jazzy like Wonderland… or progressive like No God, Giovanni, and Black Hole… or cultural like the Band-Maiko series… or instrumentals like From Now On, Don’t Be Long, Onset, Without Holding Back and Going Nuts… or their many acoustic versions like Catharsis and Sayonakidori... and last but not least, their Anime hits like Sense, Glory and Unleash (from their own Anime MV (series?)): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX2lkHiGiJlrfqc) And many songs are represented with 50 well produced music videos. kzbin.info Most performances should be experienced from their LIVE audience & online OKYU-JI concerts:  ONLINE OKYU-JI (Feb. 11, 2021) “No God” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHLHiKF_h896l80  Tokyo's LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (February 14, 2020) “Domination” kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k  ZEPP 2018 “Real Existence” kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6K0n35_gbdoq5I  Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 and other full concerts are on bandmaidprime.tokyo, bili, and official Band-Maid’s DVD/BD/CD.  “P and D²” 30+ Photo Collage videos at www.youtube.com/@PinD2/videos And some of the better quality fan videos are excellent. Here’s two of what it’s like to see Band-Maid LIVE at an intimate venue:  By Wave Potter with their last 2022 US tour OKYU-JI concert in Chicago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGqllHmtj99mmcU  By Vladimir Chupin - a wealth of excellent videos at www.youtube.com/@VladimirChupin If you like Band-Maid, make sure to support them by purchasing some concert tickets, CD, DVD/BD & Merch, etc. bandmaid.tokyo Like most Band-Maid songs, I like them from the get-go but really start to appreciate them after more hearings and seeing their LIVE videos. I'll go back and see an older song like YOLO, Order, Shake That, Freezer, Before Yesterday, Real Existence, Non Fiction Days and Alone, etc. and realize there's no band that can consistently construct and play like Band-Maid. For fun, check out an awesome, little known "Mega Band-Maid Mix" by DJ Ray of some of their earlier stuff: facebook.com/djrayboston/videos/1004709499579009 Band-Maid Members: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals, arrangements and melodies. At 29 and the youngest, “Sensei” (Teacher) as band members call her, has the last word on many musical decisions. High-heels or sneakers, Sai-chan’s smile melts away her sometimes perceived, coldish persona. Saiki’s powerhouse performances, charisma, and voice focus the experience that’s driven her to the top echelon of hard rock frontwomen... or frontmen! Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, vocals, lyricist, 31 years old. “Koba”, as Saiki calls her, is the Band founder and a firecracker MC & PR SpokesPigeon, po! Her “Magic Spell Time” charm and energy ignite the room. Kuruppo! No, no, no… KURUPPO!! Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead guitar, keyboards, 31 years old, is a prolific writer of most Band-Maid material. Kanami (translates “Song Wave”) is a possessed riff-slayer who’s so damn adorable it hurts. The only thing you want from Mincho is more! Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums, 32 years old, band energizer & co-clown with MISA. Achi’s talents include massive consumption of noodles and bananas, of course, (even during performance!) while revolutionizing rock drumming with relentless drive, dynamics and the kick. This “DrumZilla” is the Party! MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass, 30 years old. An alluring free spirit driving her 5-string to rapturous low-ends while pulling off surprising counter leads with Kanami, off-stage MISA is the band’s goofball ballerina. Sometimes seen as the Mysterious One because she lets her instrument do the talking, the Assassin literally kills it… every note... uniting Band-Maid’s world-class rhythm section. A slug of JB, a slight grin, and let the slappin’ begin… MISA! MISA! MISA! Maidiacs (Maid-e-acts) - Band-Maid’s crazed yet supportive, knowledgeable and loyal Super Fans. [BAND-MAID NEWS]  BAND-MAID PRIME - Special Video Distribution Website. Along with nearly 50 great play-through’s by each member, concerts and skits, Band-Maid management / label(s) have included the Acoustic Christmas 2021, ZEPP 2018 and Shinkiba Studio Coast 2017 concerts! Fans can now see more than 50 great live performances with awesome audio, etc. like Fate, I Can't Live Without You and the great MISA / Kanami exchange in Don't You Tell Me. Those concerts are two of the best produced & performed concerts ever recorded, IMO. bandmaidprime.tokyo  The Maids SOLD OUT 2022 US tour just wrapped up and was a fantastic success. And so many great live fancams to watch! Their playing and antics were as fresh and fun to experience from first show to last.

Hope you can catch them LIVE!

[@Kevin6059]

Not sure what type of music you usually listen to but these ladies can play anything. The usual first live video is there song Domination but again make sure it's the live version. If you want something harder check out the MV From Now On. They can also Play beautiful ballads. They basically do everything and they are super-duper talented. Hope you check out more because this band is all over the map genre wise and it's all great.

[@barrycounts490]

Most of Band-Maids live performances are better than the studio versions ! I would suggest "Real Existence" Official Live or "Domination" Live ! These ladies play hard rock mostly but cover many styles of music ! Can't wait to see them next week at Daytona Beach Speedway =)

[@rabidrhyno7787]

Got my tix to the Atlanta show next Friday! Can't wait!! 🤘🤘🤘

Their live for Freedom in Shibuya is a good one too. Killer drum solo. I saw them in Daytona too

[@MaidIt4lyfe]

I don't agree. That said, their live performances are only better if you actually get to see their services.

Welcome to the wonderful diverse world of BAND-MAID. They will definitely have something you will absolutely love. Domination live is a good starting point for many

[@ILoveDarkSouls]

If you wanna hear two sides of many from Band-Maid I recommend "Manners/Black Hole" live. Another great one would be "Domination" live version which was my first listen to this outstanding band.

[@Glenner7]

I'd recommend their two-for-one live video of Manners and Black Hole. Two sides of an incredible coin - from groove to prog.

[@philproffitt8363]

YES!!!! An awesome showcase 👍👍👍

[@martinlangstrom8036]

Yeah that is a great way to go. To totally different songs. Both really awesome

Many of their live performances are so good because it IS happy music and people feel joy from it. I recommend the official live video of "freedom".

Recently Band Maid released "Puzzle", the official live video. "Puzzle" is what I would call a right proper hard rock song.

[@roygillotti4615]

They have a wide variety of songs through out their 10 years together, from heavy hitters to something more on the Pop Punk spectrum as this one. They're also one of the best live performances I've ever seen, and I've seen over 100 bands in concert.

[@jkkansasband7056]

Catchy Hard Rock? Of course, it's BAND-MAID. Yet they are sooo much more. Awesome is as Awesome does. Peace. 14.9

DOMINATION LIVE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO! BUT HOLY HELL THEY HAVE SOOO MANY EXCELLENT SONGS!!!

[@threemonkeysk]

They have plenty of live versions on their channel, listening to your outro tune would suggest "Puzzle" "Play" "Domination" or maybe if your adventurous the double header "Manners/Black Hole" two very different styles

[@christianwculver]

Oh this one is so good I've been meaning to look more into them for a while cuz I actually discovered them like a year ago when this song was featured in the HBO series Peacemaker 😅

[@armynurseboy]

This song was also featured in thr Netflix movie "Kate". The band also does a cameo scene in the movie.

[@christianwculver]

@@armynurseboy nice I'll have to check that out

[@stevehall5128]

It's cool for us fans to hear when people discover them from the band appearing in or their music being used in TV and movies. We just want more people to hear them because we know that at least a percentage are going to find the band of their dreams.

[@cius2112]

my suggestion for something live would be their latest live release for "No God" oooooooorrrrrrrr check them out actually live, they are on tour in the US starting on the 14th. if they are playing a date near you i highly suggest seeing a show. i went last year and drive 13 hours to Houston Tx and it was totally worth it!

[@crackedjabber]

I would absolutely suggest 'Puzzle' by Band-Maid. It's a live version and it's phenomenal.

[@SlashleySlays]

Thank you!!

[@Ephem13]

You are gonna hear a lot of Domination, Freedom, and a few others. As a metalhead, I really vibe with a lot with their newer stuff. They have really started leaning more into a bit of prog rock, and any song of theirs with a bass solo is gold, IMO. MISA MISA MISA!

[@scottfield5849]

Hey Ash! Right now I feel there's a Holy Trinity of 5-girl Rock Bands, coming out of Japan - Band-maid, Lovebites and Nemophila. All three are CRAZY good - they just run different flavors of Rock/Metal. Rock on! 🤘😎👍

I just saw them live last night at Rockville. The energy was SO HIGH it was absolutely nuts. They are THE BEST rock band active right now. They are amazing live

[@edwardallen4051]

Choose Me is as you say very catchy and a song to bop to. Just to add to what I suspect everyone else is saying, you cannot judge Band Maid on 1 song, a big part of their appeal for me is their incredible versatility and variety of songs.if you want heavy, they do that, if you want a ballad, they do that and if you want anything in between then there are songs for you. I don't have to read the other comments for what other songs people are recommending because I know they'll all be fantastic.

[@MusicMike747]

Thanks for checking out Band-Maid! Catchy choruses are a BM trademark. Another one is generating brilliant music in multiple genres, all while staying true to their sound. You asked for live performances and you’ll get “Domination” recommendations from most fans. That’s a legendary show, but the sound mix isn’t perfect. I watched several of your other reviews to get a sense of which Okyu-ji (Maid Serving) you might like. “Domination” is a definitely a good one, it’s arena pop rock with solos from everyone, but…I think you might get into “Real Existence” Live at Zepp 2018. Subscribed and awaiting your next reaction to the best hard rock band on the planet!

[@Kevin6059]

Great suggestion!!

[@philcalvino884]

Band-Maid is an extremely diverse band whose core sound is hard rock, but move seamlessly into prog, funk, punk, ballad, acoustic, etc. They are master song crafters, where you are guaranteed memorable hooks and riffs, while also getting thrown some brain twisting change-ups and counterpoint. For more hard rock-y stuff, Domination (live), Warning (MV), Blooming; for an epic instrumental, From Now On; for big contrasts, try their live performance of Manners and Black Hole; for beautiful mid-tempo, Wonderland or Daydreaming. Favorite albums: Unseen World and World Domination.

[@toshimatyu6654]

From JAPAN ■Introducing BAND-MAID and the latest information. Thank you for reaction BAND-MAID. (^^♪ BAND-MAID is a five-member girls rock band. They are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. The members have not changed. They are a hard rock band and fans consider them one of the best hard rock bands in the world. They usually have 20 songs and 2 hour gig. Formed in Japan in 2013, led by side guitarist Miku Kobato. Kobato has experience working at a maid cafe in Akihabara, Tokyo, and came up with the idea of playing cool music in her maid outfit. That's why the band was named BAND-MAID. "Thrill" was the first music video of 2014, reaching 2 million views in 2 weeks, and they escaped disbandment and decided to become a hard rock band. Also, they perform LIVE overseas and increase the number of fans. Now they write, compose and arrange all their songs. 130 original songs. And 50 music videos have been released on the official KZbin, all of which are killer songs. ★ They will have a US tour in May and August of this year. ■ Official videos are often not blocked. ■ ■ Hard Rock : Rinne・ DICE ・Don't you tell ME ・After life ・Unleash!!!! ・Sense ・Warning! ・Thrill ■ Cool Rock : Influencer ・Bubble ・Manners ・Nonfiction Days ・YOLO ・Different ・Blooming ・ glory ■ Great Live : DOMINATION ・PLAY ・FREEDOM ・REAL EXISTENC ・secret My lips・ CROSS ・CHOOSE ME ・PUZZLE ■ Power ballad : Wonderland ・Endless story ・Daydreaming ・About us ・Memorable ■ Acoustic : "Catharsis" Acoustic Ver. ・Sayonakidori" Acoustic Ver. ■ Instrumental : from now on ・On set ■ English lyrics : Dragon Cry ・ Don't Let Me Down (not their lyrics) ■ Japanese Style : Secret Maiko Lips ・Gioncho (April Fool's Day Gift BAND MAIKO Version)

Very fun reaction. My favorite genre is goth/industrial but I've become quite taken with Band-Maid. They're brilliant song-crafters, amazing performers, hyper-talented musicians and the most charming, interesting and kawaii humans I've ever seen off-stage. They don't do any goth/industrial as far as I know (but I'm new, I haven't heard every song yet). But they ARE metal-adjacent quite a bit. For instance: From Now On or Warning. If you watch the official lives of Domination, Freedom, Onset and Manners... I don't understand how they're not the biggest rock band in the world? Beyond that they're an incredibly deep pigeon-hole of amazing music, interviews and other content, po.

[@philproffitt8363]

I like the real variety of Band-Maid songs. I'm a mixed up puppy having started with Queen, Motorhead, Rush and deep into Depeche Mode...later Trip Hop...The Maids are tailor-made for me. Not just the songs...the sweetest dedicated people. Love em wholeheartedly ❤👍💪👊🤘🤘🤘

Welcome to the best band this (short) century! This is just one of the many sub-genres of rock, metal, punk and pop that they make. They are super diverse musically. I will suggest Domination LIVE (not MV) or Play Live video off their official channel. Both are perfect examples of what it's like at a show. They're touring again in the US this month. For more thrash metal, check out the Rinne/Reincarnation MV.

You'll see a lot of recommends for Domination live. It's a good song, but honestly I don't know why it's always a go to recommendation. I'd steer you more towards Manners/Black Hole live, Puzzle live, Play live, Real Existence live, Dice (MV)... I could go on, but I'll leave it there. After some of those, maybe check out Domination because it is good it's just a little more dated and there are better quality lives out there for them as good as it is.

[@armynurseboy]

Because if you could only choose ONE song you can play that encapsulates Band-Maid's overall sound and attitude, it's the live version of Domination.

LIVE, They all thrive when they play live.makes me smile...

[@derrickramsburg6084]

You should check out Domination or Freedom live versions from the World Domination Tour.

[@MichaelNolen]

"Choose me" was featured in the Netflix movie "Kate" about 30 minutes in. "Blooming" is used about 5-6 minutes in

[@SlashleySlays]

I never watched the show!!! But thank you!!

[@UltraHD.7]

I'm a huge fan of both, Band-Maid and Lovebites, but people can be a bit misleading, saying "if you like one, you'll also like the other", because both are doing their own unique thing. So thanks to you for being respectful 👍🏻🙂 Band-Maid can cover a huge variety of genres, some songs that are more on the heavier side are "Puzzle" or "Real existence", the live videos. Or another music videp like "Warning!" or "Rinne". Usually people are completely caught by them at about the 3rd song 🤘🏻😊

[@R2J2B2]

Listen to Domination Live. They are even better live. The song you chose was more poppy than most of their stuff. Listen to more of them, yo🎉u will not be disappointed.

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you for reacting to Band-Maid. Choose Me is their most played song on YT that they wrote themselves (Thrill and Real Existence was written by outside writers). Choose Me is a gem of a song, so cathcy. Band-Maid is a highly skilled band, their live performances surpasses their studio work most of the time. I hope you will take the time to react to more songs by Band-Maid. Whatever you react to Masters and Princesses (what they call us the fans) will approve.

[@JonathanStark-dw7df]

[@snicklaw82]

Live version of "play" is fantastic! Highly suggest that one

[@overlybrownmale4557]

by far not their best song but still great, been learning the bass line since theyre US tour starts this week. DOMINATION OR PUZZLE are great live videos

[@JehanLSZABO]

Any offical Live video will convince you. Onset and Play might appeal you more. Onset is an instrumental.

[@dennisthemenace671]

Welcome to BAND-MAID , enjoy your journey down the Pigeon hole , MISA !!! MISA !!! MISA !!! the Barefoot Bass Assassin . song Domination official live video or Freedom official live video or Play official live video .

[@JuanSan66]

Good job!. Try Manners /Black Hole. I think you would like those two. Thank you!

[@Studio-Coast_Kid]

I've seen your channel before and everyone is going to say Domination Live, Freedom Live, No God Live... And that is a recipe that has been proven to work with your average Reactors. But I know your tastes are more discriminating. You need it to hit a bit harder, well no problem! "Rinne Live" the opening song to their Line Cube Shibuya Concert. May have to check on Bilie Bilie for that. If not they have an MV that is easy to find on their main channel. "Puzzle Official Live" just recently released on KZbin from their Jan 9th TGT 23 shows "Different MV" these will be more your in your lane. Just keep in mind that they are a Hard Rock Band that infuses elements of Punk, Power Pop, Jazz, Blues, Funk and Metal. Genre bending masters of music but not a straight Metal Band.

[@docmetal8194]

Sugoi! Saw them in October, awesome! Currently touring U.S. again for their 10th anniversary tour. Will be seeing them again on the 22nd in Charlotte, N.C. Suggest "DOMINATION" Official Live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5PcgnaAo5ulj8k Arigatou! 🤘🤘

[@boomboom418]

The ladies just dropped two music videos from their concert at Tokyo Garden Theatre earlier this year. No God and Puzzle could be your next review.

[@kennogawa6638]

Choose Me is performed live on another video on their KZbin channel.

[@Rawberrito]

It wasnt bad at all...I was bopping along with it and theyre all very talented but I can honestly say I probably wouldnt have it on my playlist BUT this is the only song Ive heard of theirs so I may change my tune (pun intended) lol

[@philproffitt8363]

They have the widest variety of song styles from ballad to metal sensibilities...the drummer can be a beast. A good showcase is the 'Manners/Black Hole' Live video...a bluesy rock song and their fastest song side by side. Great songwriters.

[@jeremydawkins8814]

Have a look at the songs RINNE and WARNING.

[@MrLawave11]

One of the best live band

[@paulsmith7062]

Check out their live versions of Play or Freedom

[@polskabob359]

Domination live official

[@splitenz81]

"Freedom" is a great live video :)

[@leeredose9192]

Band maid is a super live band, domination,or play

[@Hrathen39]

Choose me is still my favorite, but I love a lot of them. Their title tracks are definitely more pop oriented heavy rock which I really appreciate. Also how they deliberately hired a professional vocalist who had no idea she was auditioning to a rock band instead of a pop group lool

[@RahimRahmat]

Don't have to tell you how awesome Band-Maid are when 138 other comments have beaten me to it. Don't have to tell you how awesome they are live since everyone else here has said it. Don't have to suggest the next song to react to, since there are so many suggestions here on what should be next. Don't have to tell you the community likes your reaction since you've gotten 5.7K views in 16 hours and counting. Welcome to Band-Maid! 😁

[@torepedersen3109]

Domination live

[@fturla___156]

I notice that Band-Maid goes for the hard rock to heavy metal sound when they go on international tours, and I miss the more intimate acoustic versions of their songs, and they don't play their softer power ballads very often. The good thing about their tour sets is that like many other bands the individual song variants can change a lot, which means a song that was closer to a three minute set becomes more like 5 if the band extends the intro or alters the ending, especially if they are adding additional guitar riff parts for Miku Kobato to play which seems to be trending.

[@fernandomontironi2165]

I recommend you listen to the live versions of "puzzle" - "domination" - "black hole" - "wonderland" - "freedom"
