The Voice! Reaction Band-Maid "Sayonakidori" Acoustic Version

Band-Maid fans told us if we like Miku's voice, we need to listen to "Sayonakidori" Acoustic Version. This was a very different sound from prior Band-Maid songs, but it really showcases her vocals.

"Sayonakidori", the acoustic version, is one of the reason so many new Band-Maid fans have fallen in love with the group. There are not many rock groups in the world who can literally "melt your face" in one song and turn around and "melt your heart" in the next song. These five talented young Japanese females are the best out there. Their story is one that needs to be told around the world.

[@DAVID-io9nj]

The vision and intelligence of Miku cannot be overstated. She is fully capable of singing the types of songs initially presented by management at the start of Band Maid. Yet she had a vision of the type of songs they should be doing, and that required a more powerful voice than she had. Hence the almost immediate search for a lead singer.

[@grahamreed8774]

Miku is to be admired for many things- all she wants is success for her band and it's members. There are 14 songs from this set, which Kanami (Lead Guitar) completely re-arranged from the original songs for the acoustic versions. The whole set was live streamed on Christmas day 2021 as a gift to the fans who had be requesting more acoustic songs for quite a while and also the thank the fans for their continuing support during Covid. The is a CD recording of the live stream but no DVD unfortunately. The high note near the end of the song was written in by Kanami to deliberately test Miku's vocal range. She has done that before to test the other band members with resulted in the Unseen World album 2021.

[@greylocke100]

This is the only song Kanami did NOT rework. She left that up to Miku. And except for some help with chording issues, Kanami was hands off. Miku totally rearranged this song, and helped Akane and MISA with their parts as well.

[@amgerth]

[@Davey-Boyd]

"Sayonakidori" = Nightingale. (you pronounced it right)! It's Miku's take on Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. In the play, one can hear the nightingale's song drifting through evening scenes. In one of Shakespeare's most well-known bird references. The Nightingale reference is "Juliet mistakes the lark's song for the nightingale's, hoping that her evening romance with Romeo can continue. Romeo corrects her and departs her bedroom at dawn". The small pigeon is an absolute poet. She usually gets one song per album where she takes lead vocals. And an absolute rock star! The full hard rock version of "Sayonakdori" is incredible too!

[@CoachCastTV]

That's awesome!

The Japanese breakdown of “sayonakidori” also means “the bird that cries at night.” Another layer of meaning in Miku’s lyrics. ❤🕊

[@greylocke100]

@@CoachCastTV According to some reading I've done, Miku actually had some health problems when she was younger, from what I've found she may have had childhood asthma, so her singing was also to help with her breathing. Miku is also known to be, according to all of the other Ladies in the band, the fastest swimmer. There was a mention of Miku swimming several times a week to help keep in shape. There is a behind the scenes photo from I think the Aftershock Festival of Miku and MISA comparing biceps, and Miku's is visibly much larger. The other Ladies also joke about how wide Miku's shoulders are, especially with how wide the shoulders of her uniform are. They have referred to them as her "Wings". And I haven't been able to confirm it, but Miku also is supposedly a runner, when she can't get time in a pool.

[@sobabruddah7576]

Miku is a mezzo-soprano with a bright tone, compared to a singer like Amy Lee, who is also a mezzo- soprano but with a dark tone. Darker tones lend itself better to rock style music while brighter tones are better suited for pop. Combined with Saiki's(alto-contralto) darker tone, brings really cool layers in their harmonies that's perfect for hard rock (think David Lee Roth/Michael Anthony)!!!👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@CoachCastTV]

Good combo for sure.

[@allanmoger1838]

The pigeon really doesn’t get enough credit. Everyone gushes over Kanami, Saki, Misa, and sometimes Akane, but almost never Miku, it’s like she’s almost taken for granted, when she’s not being ridiculed for Omajinai time, Po. Perhaps it’s just unwritten that she is actually unparalleled as an artist, as well as leader, in this genre today.

[@mikeat2637]

Miku has a very sweet voice with a very good range and breath control. If you check out her solo gig as "Cluppo", you will really see this other side of her. And the thing that sometimes gets lost in the shuffle is that Miku is an amazing lyricist, you can see it in virtually every song Band Maid has done. She has a knack for creating complicated, but very understandable lyrics that are amazing. I've seen her do this live as shows twice and everyone in the crowd was visibly moved. Our little pigeon is also a bit of a Renaissance woman. And when they did the Band Maiko song "Gion-Cho" (which is another song you guys HAVE to react to), which is about the geisha culture in Japan and specifically in Kyoto, the ancestral home of the geisha culture, Miku wrote the lyrics in the specific dialect of Kyoto to make sure she got it right. They are unlike any band or group I have ever heard in my 60+ years of following music.

This is from their acoustic concert they streamed live a couple of years ago, I did see it live myself even an online concert is worth seeing, I have seen two of those along with them live in LA. They did 14 songs, and Kanami actually shreds an acoustic. In that concert, you do hear all of them sing, though akane, kanami and misa just do backup and harmonizing. One song Akane plays a cajon instead of her drums. All 5 of them can sing, they also all know how to play a variety of classical instruments.

Hey there! For a different look at Miku's vocals, a few years ago she launched an alternate band as an April Fool's joke (to the Maids, a "joke" is just doing something unexpected, but still really high-level) called "Cluppo". It's much more pop, but their first video is "Peace and Love". Great job! 🤘😎👍

[@outwest1014]

Now you need to react the Full Roar version of "Sayonakidori".There is a surprise in it. Miku did the arrangement herself with just a little help from Kanami. Here's a fun 1 minute video, Saiki's Bear. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foTcqnZ9q6aonMUsi=c7ICjGPtQK900rxw, Miku created Band Maid with her as the Vocalist. After rehearsing Akane, MISA, and Kanami told her, her voice was too soft to front the band with the music she wanted them to play. Originally when Akane, MISA and Kanami told Miku they needed another guitar for a fully sound. Miku planned the new singer would play it. But she realized Saiki wasn't a guitarist. So Miku said she would learn to play the guitar if Kanami would be her Sensei. Kanami does all the guitar parts when they are recording. Kanami then teaches Miku the new song. It's time management for Miku.

This was from their Xmas day accoustic concert (2021 if I remember correctly), which was fantastic. There were various permutations of the members from all 5 playing, the trio you see here, Kanami and Saiki together and Kanami, Saiki and Misa. Just think Kanami transposed alll these hard hitting rock songs into acoustic versions. Yes Misa could not play guitar at the start of Band-Maid but through sheer persitance, hard work and Kanami's expert tutelage she is now an accomplished electric and acoustic guitarist.

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

You pretty much got that pronunciation correct, although I suspect a native Japanese will laugh. I like this version simply because Miku carries the guitar part solo, and also notice that Akane is singing backup! Band-Maid keeps trying to get Misa to sing a few words now and then, but you have to watch her like a hawk to catch the few times our Barefoot Assassin steps to the mic. Misa prefers the "distressed" paint on her Black Cloud bass that I call "Old Yeller", but Black Cloud has just started shipping a Misa Signature 5-string bass of her specification. She's wanting to see posts from those who've taken delivery and played them. She is hoping everyone likes it! Band-Members say she looks fearsome, but she's actually quite shy but can be be very silly and humorous at times. Sayonakidori (Nightingale) is from their fan club 2020 Christmas concert. Video disks are no longer available, but the entire concert can be accessed through their fan club members only website and fans can order music CDs at limited times.

I'm so glad you caught the fact that Akane the drummer was doing backup singing and also remembering that Miku has come a long way in her ability to play guitar being that she didn't know how to play guitar in the beginning. Interesting fact this song was written by Kanami, and Miku thought she couldn't hit the high notes Kanami insisted she try. You can see the results were great.

Yes, great result indeed.

This was part of a longer "concert" where the members switched around a bit, so Kanami (the main guitarist) is there, just not in this song. Miku can sing man, the little pidgeon has an amazing voice. As you said, the fact that she stepped back just because she thought Saiki would be a better fit is in fact insane and shows so much character on her part. Coach was also right about the guitar-playing, for the first album she is pretty much faking it and doing backup-vocals. You can see it in the MV for Thrill for example, not a lot of close-ups on her guitar there. Kanami did all the parts when they recorded in the beginning, although now Miku of course plays her parts perfectly. Seeing as you did this version it would only be prudent to check out the original version of the same song. You will not believe the difference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZO7houMotqSjpY

The curious thing about this band is that Miku is the spiritual leader and the girl with the party horn and Akane is the true leader since, as Akane said in an interview, she realized that she was the most normal of all and she herself became the leader. ...and the others approved. However, they are all leaders of themselves, as we see Misa in her orbital world while doing her 'space walks' but tied by the cord to the band/ship or Kanami as the leader in composition and execution or as Saiki leading the 'we start now' and 'we end now' acting as a commander of a cavalry brigade with his saber/micro. All together, they are like a cannonball, solid, round and compact. Unstoppable. This band is a miracle.

Smile is my go to song whenever i'm upset or in a white knuckle rage....ater 2 or 3 listenings, i'm calm and a small smile forms.

[@eaglez1901]

Misa's bass is made to look old. It's reliced. You want another one you wouldn't expect, see About Us, the official live
