Kanami is running her PRS through a Mesa Boogie. Miku's Zemaitis is plugged into her EVH. The Orange is pushing Misa's Custom built Black Cloud five string.

[@CypherReacts]

it sounds so so sickkkk, wonder if they have and pedals involved

[@snakewhisperer1]

@@CypherReacts Yes, all three of the ladies have quite the pedalboard set up (Akane has different pedals to deal with, of course). Here's a short clip of them covering Slipknot in their rehearsal space. Too short to react to unless you just want to. But it really showcases their gear. You also get to see Miku's brand new Zemaitis "Flying V"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/maPCpHt5hbOWnZo

[@Jp421JP]

Miku runs with EVH, But at the NYC shows last year she was plugged into a Marshall. The sound was way better. I hope she runs more with Marshalls. The EVH lets her sound get lost in the bands other frequencies. The Marshall cut right through. it was great.

[@andreaspedersen3952]

Yeah seems like Zemaitis is pretty popular in Japan. I believe she used Rickenbacker the first years?

[@snakewhisperer1]

@@Jp421JP They brought their instruments to the US, but their amps were either rented or borrowed from the venue if available. I saw an interview where Miku says she was using the venue's Marshall in Dallas. She said it started smoking during soundcheck. When she alerted the venue crew, they said: "Oh, don't worry about it. It does that all the time".....eeek!

[@3WWizard]

I learned about Band Maid in January, and have tried to convert people to fans ever since. One of my favorite bands now for sure.

[@FinalShadow17]

I learned of them from babymetal. They just started popping up on my feed as most fans are fans of both. So glad I gave them a chance. I went in with somewhat low expectations and wow i was blown away

[@xxmgkxx4498]

I heard them today and they are briliant

[@Jonas_S_]

The future indeed! Their talk about World Domination is not just empty words you know ;)

[@matthewkolb1694]

Band Maid play for real in their music videos as well. Nothing about their sound is fake, they go full tilt full time.

[@franshendrix1404]

Am glad last London gig some water was handed out during. 800 people in the room, full throttle maids rocking for 2 hours really drains.

[@nacberger]

Jamie, me too !!! I love this song the best of their songs.

[@judgeroygreen7046]

That's the smile I watch BAND-MAID Reaction videos for. That, and to remember the first time that smile was on my face. It's the realization they aren't just good for girls. They are all Master Musicians. They're true Rock Stars. The kind that only come along once in a generation. BAND-MAID are the new Beatles. More BAND-MAID, please.

[@word4you]

Yes, B-M is HardRock BEATLES!! poo♫ そう！バンドメイドはまさにハードロック・ビートルズですね(^-^)v

[@reapercometh]

Best band out there in my opinion. They have countless great songs. And an untouchable energy

[@GSpotter63]

Pigeons the world over are praising the name of Miku. PIGEON POWER! "What are we going to do today Saiki." "Same thing we do every day Miku. Try to take over the world"... Ho Ho Ha HA Ha.... ❤Miku❤❤Kanami❤❤Misa❤❤Akane❤❤Saiki❤

[@brettmarlar4154]

Kurrapo!!!

[@thedocofrock1890]

i discovered band maid in 2016 and they are my favorite hard rock band since van halen in the 80's-now if you want your mind shattered again you need to listen to lovebites-another 5 member japanese female band but the power metal answer to band maid's rock.gorgeous girls playing some of the best metal you've ever heard with TWO of the most amazing guitarists you've ever listened to. go with the mv for 'when destinies align' and then just keep going from there.4 years with 4 cd's of shredding awesomeness.the guitarists have incredible dueling solos in just about every song-DO NOT miss these girls-you won't be sorry

[@michaelafrancis1361]

I'll second that.... Lovebites are just astonishing. Nothing against Bandmaid you understand.... it's not a competition... they're both amazing bands.

[@thedocofrock1890]

@@michaelafrancis1361 yeah i hardly listen to anything now except these 2-i throw in some scandal and miho and haruna's old band destrose, ganglion [now disbanded],rivini ,doll$boxx. i guess you could say i'm addicted to japanese girl groups!

[@fastskipper777]

Just for your info, in All of Band-Maid MV's, you will notice the members are always plugged in with guitar cables, even in outdoor settings with NO Amps around. This is unlike many other band MV's where they are literally holding guitars and struming in the air. Very interesting in how detailed they are. Not only in their older videos but In their recent "Endless Story" MV where they are in middle of nowhere volcanic sand, they all have guitar cables plugged in (no amps to be around). You can see them snaking away from their guitars on the almost black sand. These ladies really care.

[@stevehall5128]

They *usually* even haul the amps out to the beach or ruins or wherever they're filming. (Though this might have something to do with amp company endorsements, too.)

[@ajhilton7]

I discovered Band-Maid like a week ago, and just like you I am obsessed! They just can't do anything wrong! I know you're waiting to do your reactions and I'm not sure if you've checked out their back catalogue, but TRUST ME, you haven't even reacted to their top stuff yet! I highly recommend 'Don't you tell ME' live from Zepp Tokyo next! The battle between MISA (bass) and Kanami (lead guitar) will blow your little socks off! New subscriber. Loving the stuff 👍

[@boomboom418]

Welcome aboard.

[@keithvincent4]

Not a day goes past without Band maid s blasting out.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

A day without Band-Maid is a day with out love.

[@maidiac4607]

Kanami uses a Mesa Boogie Tripple Rectifier - and a stacked pedal board…

[@sacluvsBM]

Ms Tono can use anything she would care to. From Baby Grand to Les Paul. She was sitting at the piano when age three and her parents were paying for formal lessons at age five. In High School she wanted to be cool. Something most of us can relate to and so she picked up the guitar. And man did she ever.

[@TheUnderdogDe]

@@sacluvsBM It seems they have the same background as these three Mexican sisters ( _That Misa and Kanami like to listen to_ ). In this video the bass player is 14, the drummer is 17, and the guitarist is 19. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4ebmKN_p66Fb9U

[@markh1085]

For 5 young Japanese ladies to come from nowhere initially , from a culture that not many understand , these girls are not only blasting out of the east with great music and talent but also with their friendly honest and fun character. They have impressed me beyond belief. I urge everyone to buy some of their music to keep them buoyant in these difficult times . I love this band and they are definitely going to get the world domination they so rightfully deserve . Great reaction , and nice to see the Band Maid magic light up someone else’s face 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@sacluvsBM]

Been a big fan since January 2017. Became deranged fanatic after show in LA last September. Am sure either l was a victim of subliminal messaging, or Mark IV Ultra mind control or small pigeon's magic time spell or possibly mass hypnosis. It really doesn't matter. Because l am sure I would have wound up this way anyway. The music is that damn good and better than that live. I remember when l first heard their tune Choose Me I didn't think it was a suggestion so l did. The world (or at least anyone anywhere who has had a chance to see and or hear them) loves Band-Maid. Country, ethnicity, politics, culture, language, religion and customs none of that seems to matter because their appeal and charisma are worldwide and their talent is off the charts. I am just happy to be on the same planet with them at the same time. Viva Band-Maid.

[@nem447]

Band-Maid is relentless quality! Their live stuff really shines with extra solos and battles.

[@alanscarfe6753]

That`s the word mate, PERFECTION !

[@Kevin6059]

That moment where Kanami's incredible guitar solo transitions into the beautiful harmonies is one of my favorite BM "moments" - too bad most reactors hit "pause" before the harmonies and totally miss the effect. Kudos to you for holding back for a few seconds!

[@philproffitt8363]

That vocal harmony reminds me of The Corrs...beautiful sound and contrast with the song...clever ladies.

[@BM4-Life]

Yea this one is my favorite song of BAND-MAID it has everything. 👉 Akane: wicked drumming thru out the song. 👉 Kanami: insane guitar solo. 👉 Saiki / Miku: Vocal harmonizing. 👉 MISA: Bass breakdown. 👉 Breakdown section at the end. Overall a Masterpiece! *Blooming the gateway drug of BAND-MAID!!!*

[@RevStickleback]

It could be worth going back to where it all started* and their first video "Thrill". In contrast to Blooming, it's a real stripped back song with a main riff and a clean chorus. Oh and solos for both bass and lead guitar. Everything in the video if black, white or red, in the same stripped back vein. It was this video that got them noticed worldwide after apparently racking up 2 million views in a week on a Facebook page, at a time when they were still playing small venues in Japan, and had been considered disbanding. As Miku says in one interview, they they thought their Twitter had been hacked, as it suddenly exploded, completely unexpectedly. * it's not quite the start, as they did have an unsuccessful mini-album before that of more poppy songs, but their 2nd album "New Beginning" (which Thrill is on) is to them what Dookie is to Green Day - the point where everything changed.

[@ssnidely]

its a good comparison to gauge their growth musically. you can easily see marked improvement

[@joburnitsun]

First song i heard from them 3 years ago hooked ever since; they ruined music for me.

[@franshendrix1404]

Finally you did Blooming! Welcome to the club! Keep rocking, keep enjoying them and go to London when they are there, you will not be disappointed!

I will add it to the to-do list my dude!

[@falkarios2944]

Yessss, I love this band. You've also become one of my favorite reactors to watch, you have a very good energy. Keep these reaction coming and I'll keep hitting that thumbs up button. If you want more Band Maid recommendations, I'd suggest "Take me higher (live)". It has a very classic rock feel to it.

It is always fun to watch when someone understands the magnificence of what he has just observed and his world view is expanded. This must have been what I looked like three years ago when I discovered Band-Maid. You are welcome to a rabbit hole you have never imagined.

[@kanyon7613]

Band-Maid 👐 I want to see your journey with these awesome girls...you got a new Subscriber! Miku plays guitars from the brand zemaitis. For example zemaitis a24mf aces& eights or cs24pf ring chess. And her new one is a v shaped zemaitis mfgv22!

[@hiawatha.g]

Love the reaction. I like the fact that you have some knowledge about the craft. And of course, I completely agree this band should have much more recognition. The good part is that before they get bigger, see them live (once this virus thing has abated)--it will change your life. I've seen them in a small venue, and they're out of this world!

[@StrikitRich]

Speaking of cardboard boxes, if you stick with Band-Maid long enough you'll run across some acoustic performances where Akane plays a Peruvian cajón. Also, Miku plays a Zematis guitar.

[@JuanSan66]

Oh yes, this is a great song to celebrate something. Congratulations. Well, probably they will never get the recognition they deserve. They come from Japan, sing in japanese, they don´t dance in short skirts, their company level is small and cannot promote them with intensity... So what?. What I actually wish is that they can live from their music, be happy and stay safe and toghether. Success and recognition can arrive or not, but this music will remain. They have already written a page in history. And who knows?, If this fucking virus leaves us alone our ladies have reserved a gig in Nippon Budokan the National Day of Japan in 2121. There are very few bigger things to do there.

[@hummingbird2139]

Another awsome reaction. Please look at "Play" next. You will not regret it. Also, please react to some more babyby metal. Would love to see you react to Ijime, dame, zettai" or "the one". Two amazing tracks.

Oh, the gear? Miku uses a Zemaitis guitar and now she also has a V-shaped version of it and with the new outfit it looks awesome!

[@Muzicman-ut3jr]

Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈!!!! There’s not a rock band better than Band Maid, sure there’s some western bands that rock but doesn’t have Band Maids diversity! I’ve been a fan going on four years and everytime I hear the ladies I am even more amazed! I haven’t seen you in a spell dude! Great way to kick off 2000 subs!! Awesome reaction!

[@martinmetal7481]

You need to check out Japans music scene theres loads of great female rock / metal bands They just seem to churn out exellent female musicians.

[@stealthcabbie1336]

Top reaction. Kanami _Lead Guitar is PRS / Mesa Boogie. Miku - Rhythm 2nd singer- Zementis guitar / EVH. Why are they not so well known as they should be...??? Language/Culture?? Marketing?? I have noticed in the past year that there have been more reacter's reacting to them..... and alot has been on the back of BabyMetal. Japan has alot of GREAT music and I think because of BabyMetal it is gaining more exposure. I have alot of respect for BabyMetal..(I love gimme choclate and karate) because they woke the dragon from the east, and Band Maid are my favorite. As a little backstory...... Kanami (Lead guitar/main song writer), Akane(Drums) and MISA(Bass) are child prodigies .... Saiki (Singer) had been a struggling singer (Backups and what have you) and Miku (Rhythm guitar and 2nd singer-not back up) was in a J-Pop band. Miku wanted to do something different....Break the mould as to what was happening in the music scene at the time. Her idea was to create a band that not only looked cute on stage.... but kicked some serious arse.... Thus Band Maid. But this is the short version. This band," Maximum The Hormone" and this song "Fukushu kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpaxZJysr9-qmKM" laid the seeds for our Band Maid. And to think that this was my Ace up my sleeve!! Thats cool, I've got three more´.......

[@armynurseboy]

Language is always going to be a barrier. For a lot of folks, it's a dealbreaker.

[@Phiction__]

This band is called Maximum The Hormone from Japan. Nu-Metal, Alternative Metal, Metalcore type of band. A lot of people call them Japan's System of A Down. Here is the list songs you should watch in any order but the first 3 songs I recommend. Maximum the Hormone 2 (name of song) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3SQqHemrN94qpY) song starts around 1:30 in video (FYI) (newer song also) Hungry Pride (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qny9k3ugrp56ja8) Song was made for a Ramen commercial but fans liked it so much they made a full version song. (This is the latest single they released) Maximum the Hormone (name of the song) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/g57JhqyvirFjbaM) Koino Sperm (kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4bIg5yGrs95fpY) video is live song with different festivals playing the same song. Also top left has video of band dancing to their song lol. Yoshu Fukushu (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJaxZpimarKlmrs) Alien (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipXahWiAoa1rna8) They used to have more videos up but a lot of them are blocked. So these are the only ones I can find that have them in music videos. There are other videos but it's fan made videos with their music playing. But give them a listen on or off camera as long as you listen that will make me happy.

[@rakjr6]

The EVH belongs to Miku, the rhythm guitarist. She plays Zemaitis guitars. Kanami uses Mesa/Boogie amps and has multiple PRS.

I would highly recommend checking out their song 'Alone'. Kanami's guitar solo is phenomenal and she even does it live.

[@sjnix7044]

As you explore their catalog, I'm to give you a hint in listening to their songs. The "easter eggs" are hidden in the second verse. You'll get crazy drum fills, guitar noodling and guitar mini solos. Miku plays a Zemaitis "Aces and 8s" (and a nice new Zemaitis V too) through and EVS half stack. Kanami plays a PRS custom through a Mesa/Boogie rig. MISA plays Black Cloud basses though Orange amps. Akane plays Tama and Zildjian.

Miku uses a Zimightis guitars with EVH 5150's, Kunami uses a Mesa stack

[@wanderleyjesus6772]

Guitars and Basses: Miku Kobato, who radiates her presence as a guitarist/singer, uses a Zemaitis A24MF Aces & Eights as her trademark main guitar. Zemaitis is a brand created in the UK by Tony Zemaitis, who started building guitars in a full scale in 1965. His guitars have been used by British guitarists such as Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, and Ronnie Lane. Since the 2000s, Zemaitis guitars have been manufactured in Japan [note: licensed to Kanda Shokai in Tokyo] and have become popular among Japanese guitarists. They are characterized by beautiful looks, such as metal fronts with precise engraving and perl fronts tiled with precious mother of pearl, and also have a reputation for the sound quality by selected wood and precise woodcraft since the manufacture in Japan began. Kobato uses the metal front model with aces and eights of playing cards and dollar coins originally engraved by the master engraver Danny O’brien, with an African mahogany body/neck and a rosewood fingerboard with 24 frets. The metal plate behind the body is engraved with “BAND MAID” [note: the logo used in Secret My Lips], her own signature, and the date when she got it [note: 2017 10 21]. The pickup is changed to DiMarzio DP103. Her second guitar is a Zemaitis A24MF, a metal front model created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Zemaitis guitars in 2015, engraved with an orthodox leaf pattern, with the same specifications as her Aces & Eights. The pickup is also changed to DiMarzio DP103. Kanami, who leads the Band-Maid sound with her hard guitar play, loves PRS guitars. Her main guitar is a PRS Custom 24 made in 2016. PRS Custom 24 is PRS’s representative model with a body of a maple top and a mahogany back, a 25-inch scale mahogany neck with 24 frets, and a rosewood fingerboard with bird inlays. Many guitarists of all genres have been using it since its release, and recently heavy rock guitarists use it in particular. The pickup is a 85/15 Pickup first used for PRS’s 30th anniversary model and used for Custom 24 since 2015, a refined PRS pickup characterized by a clear and warm tone even when distorted. Her violet finish model has a 10-top flame maple top and a 5-way blade switch. Her other PRS Custom 24 is a 2015 model with chic charcoal burst finish, whose bridge pickup seems to have been changed from a 85/15. She also used an emerald green finish 2016 model Custom 24 with a 3-way toggle switch before. Its back has natural finish. Misa, who supports the band’s bottom sound in a cool fashion, uses a Black Cloud Black Smoker Beta 5. Black Cloud, located in Omachi, Nagano, has a reputation for their guitars and basses with traditional designs and modern sounds and playability, and is popular among young Japanese players. She has two jazz bass style 5-string models. She liked the sound and playability of her first brown finish model of 2016, and she made a black finish model based on her image. Both have an ash body, a maple and titanium neck, a rosewood fingerboard, an original pickup, an active/passive switch, and a tension bar on the headstock to keep the string tension. Amplifiers: Now we introduce the amplifiers the three use. Kobato uses an EVH 5150 III as her amplifier since the spring of 2019. EVH is a brand produced by Eddie Van Halen and releases guitars, amplifiers, and effectors supervised by himself. 5150 III is a guitar amplifier charaterized by the so-called “brown sound” that is a soft and deeply distorted drive sound. She uses the 100-watt 3-channel tube amplifier with 8 preamp tubes of 12AX7 and 4 power tubes of 6L6. She uses an EVH 5150 III 412ST as her cabinet. In the rack she uses together with Misa, the following gear is set, from the top: Furman M-8Lx (power conditioner), Shure ULXD 4D-XX (wireless system), Free The Tone FC-365/FC-364 (wireless input selectors), Rocktron Hush IIX (noise reduction), and Zoom A3 (multi effector for an acoustic guitar). Kanami’s amplifier is an Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier, a 50-watt/100-watt switchable tube amplifier popular among heavy rock guitarists, with 5 preamp tubes of 12AX7, 3 rectifier tubes of 5U4GB, and 6 power tubes of 6L6. Her cabinet has been changed from an Orange to a Mesa/Boogie 4x12 Recto Cabinet. Her rack with blue LEDs is set with the following gear from the top: Furman M-8Lx (power conditioner), Shure ULXD 4D (wireless system), Free The Tone FC-365 (wireless input selectors), and Free The Tone ARC-3 (switcher). Misa’s amplifier has been changed from an Orange 4-Stroke-500 she used before to an Orange AD200B MK III, a 200-watt tube bass amplifier with 2 preamp tubes of ECC83/12AX7, 1 preamp tube of ECC81/12AT7, and 4 power tubes of 6550. Her cabinet is a combination of two Orange OBC410. Effectors: Miku Kobato’s effectors are, from the upper left: Free The Tone PT-3D (power supply), EVH 5150 Overdrive (overdrive), Digitech Drop (pitch shifter), Boss FV-500L (volume pedal), and a foot switch for EVH 5150 III. Kanami’s effectors are, from the upper left: Free The Tone PT-3D (power supply), Fulltone OCD (overdrive), Friedman Buxom Boost (booster), Pete Cornish OC-1 (compressor), and iSP Decimator II (noise reduction); from the middle left: Eventide H9 (spatial multi effector), Free The Tone FT-2Y (digital delay), Eventide TimeFactor (digital delay), One Control Strawberry Red Over Drive (overdrive), Xotic EP Booster (booster), Free The Tone LB-2 (loop box), and Digitech Drop (pitch shifter); from the lower left: Korg PB-AD (tuner), Free The Tone ARC-3 (switcher), Shin’s Music Baby Perfect Volume Standard (volume pedal), and Morley Steve Vai Bad Horsie 2 (wah). Misa’s effectors are, from the upper left: Free The Tone PT-3D (power supply), Boss TU-3 (tuner), Mu-Tron Micro-Tron III (envelope filter), Free The Tone PA-1QB Bass (equalizer), Electro-Harmonix Bass Soul Food (bass overdrive), Pete Cornish P-1 (fuzz/distortion), and Ernie Ball MVP (volume pedal). Microphones: Saiki’s vocal microphone is a d:facto II of DPA Microphones. Miku Kobato uses a Sennheiser e935. Drums: Akane has been endorsed by Tama since last year [note: 2018]. Her drum set is a Star Bubinga Custom, Tama’s flagship model pursuing more resonance of shells using the know-how of Star Classic of the same company, characterized by a fat and powerful tone with middle to low sounds produced by the thin bubinga shell of a thickness of 4.5 mm. It has a unique mount system of tom-toms that can keep the maximum resonance, a tom-tom bracket with an easy setting structure, BD 16″×22″, TT 7″×10″, TT 8″×12″, and FT 16″×16″. She uses a DW-9000 for her drum pedal and a DW-9002 for her double pedal. Her cymbals are all made by Zildjian: K Zildjian HiHat 14″, A Custom Projection Crash 18″, S Trash Crash 18″, K Custom Hybrid Ride 20″, A Ultra Hammered China 19″. Her drumsticks are made of hickory by the Swedish brand Wincent, with the band logo. [Note: see also her interview on Rhythm & Drums Magazine.]

5:36 In this video Miku uses a "ZEMAITIS A24MF / Black" guitar. She has four different Zemaitis guitars at minimum. It is an expensive japanese brand. Her amplifier is a "divided by 13" type RSA31

[@brettmarlar4154]

Kanami plays through a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier with either Mesa or Marshall cabinets. Miku (Rhythm Guitar/Vocal ) uses the 5150 amp/cab. I can't remember the brand of guitars she uses, currently, they all have the etched metal tops though. She sued to rock a Rickenbacker.

The future ? the band will never be know worldwilde. Just the fan know them but 99% of the world will never know japanese artists... I'm always negative but the world is like that sadly... If you want a clear exemple, all the world know jurassic park, but 99% of the world don't know band maid I'm glad you enjoy the music, your jour smile is a pleasure.

[@LouieGrandie]

Michel Delatte totally agree with you. The largest crowd they have ever played to is 8,000. Baby Metal’s show in LA was attended by more people than Band Maid’s entire US total audience combined. Band Maid has not shown up on Billboard’s charts to any degree and have won no international awards. As good as they are they just don’t have broad base support in Japan or around the world. Scandal has had more success in Japan. The girls are turning 30 so not sure how much time they have to become as big as everyone wants

[@SLKRR]

They are playing Budokan Feb. 2021 (obviously dependent on Covid-19 being gone), so I think they are progressing quite nicely towards the greater recognition they deserve.

[@LouieGrandie]

@@SLKRR A lot of people reacting to videos are putting up polls on who to react to during the lock down. Band Maid has ranked behind Baby Metal and The Warning Band is every single poll I have found. Way behind. I just don't see the progress.

[@winwinwin282828]

Metallica wasn't that big until their black album.

[@StoneShards]

How many times did MISA whack one of those light tubes?! hahaha

[@DaElfer]

kanami has the star ship enterprise for pedals.

[@cygnetseven]

Band Maid currently has about 100 songs and currently you have heard about three or four. That means you have probably not experienced your favorite song yet. Let that sink in for a minute. The best is still to come. BTW, welcome to the cult.

[@crystalbowie1212]

BAND-MAID's "Blooming" was a wonderful song. If you want to know J-ROCK, you should listen to this group as well. It is "Senbonzakura" of "WAGAKKI-BAND". kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZDbhZiqZZuGi9E

[@oooppiikkk]

the lead guitarist ,Kanami , wrote like 95% of the songs

[@KeithTKO]

If you keep doing Band-Maid you’ll get more subs. They are that good. PS. If you mention anime for any reason it really turns me off.

Do you realize one of their songs (Glory) was used as an ending theme to vrains anime? Also, all of them love anime. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

@@xavierzutafun Glory is my least favourite track on Conqueror.

[@hoodwinkiez]

Want to see something really interesting? Try LADYBABY ft. Ladybeard. Just pick a song, it won't matter, because It will still break your brain on how catchy it is and you won't be able to stop watching it.

[@Medley3000]

5:16 No EVH here. Kanami uses a "MESA" amplifier type: "Triple Rectifier" and a MESA 4x12" standard cabinet. Miku a "divided by 13" amplifier type: RSA31 and a dividedd by 13 2x12" cabinet. MISA an "orange" amplifier type: 4 stroke 500 and an orange 4x10" cabinet. P:S: I strongly recommend next to listen to 輪廻 ( RINNE ) or ハニー ( Honey ).

[@andrewcanuck6417]

Hey Jamie love your stuff! You ask for constructive criticism so here goes, for a guy that so appreciates good visuals in videos why don't you do something about the over busy background behind you? You could put some creativity into creating a more appealing and professional look to your own videos. I suspect given your attention to detail you could come up with something really awesome!

[@oooppiikkk]

lol another bandmaid virus victim. symptoms include: increase in bandmaid uploads mastery of all performers names before the 8th video the eventual reaction to Thrill, dont you tell me , play mentions of other Jp bands such as ningen issue and love bites

[@philproffitt8363]

6:06 well F* me if that vocal break doesn't sound like the Corrs...nice! But they're all lovely...no 'Jim' here :-))

[@Medley3000]

7:50 because the boring radio stations are not willing any more to push good music. There are no more DJ's, only business economists in the radio stations. Only the same boring crap from the big record companies.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Yep! I gave up on terrestrial radio a long time ago. Odd that I seem to find new music here on YT more than any place else.

Jamie I love band Maid to the max but as they are saying about these japanese girl bands...What the hell are they putting in the water over there . here's another j girl band for you . more of a pop garage rock group.. These girls have 12 albums out while still in their 20's and done world tours, thru US , Europe , St america, as well as Asia. SCANDAL song masterpiece > @
