And we are ecstatic to have you! ❤️🍻

I grew up listening to Van Halen and AC/DC. I got up in the middle of the night for the live stream of this show. This was 27th of 33 songs! The energy these ladies brought was EPIC! They mix and match different styles of play in their songs. I never get bored listening to BAND-MAID. Doesn't matter who I start listening to, I always end up putting on BAND-MAID.

[@keithvincent4]

I play Band maid every day since 2015.Part of my love for true Talent.

Same... I grew up in 80's and 90's Rock/Metal and my All-time favorite band is Iron Maiden. I hadn't been in a concert since the mid 90's. I was lucky enough to catch Band-Maid live in Houston 2 years ago, and they restored my faith in good music.

Since The Warning Army gave us Maidiacs some love over at another reactor's channel, by suggesting Band-Maid to them, I'm gonna throw some love back to them by suggesting that you guys should react to The Warning "Evolve". The MTV music awards video to be exact. It was a amazing show, with high level energy. Band-Maid and The Warning are friends, and they are doing some shows in Japan, and HOPEFULLY they will be doing more together while they are hanging out over there.

Time to meet the ladies! Miku Kobato "Little Pigeon" - band founder - rhythm guitar and second vocals. Main lyricist. Claims to be an 810 year old pigeon and makes pigeon noises when she speaks. Po! Very good at poker, really into horses and horse racing. Very clumsy, may fall into ditches. Has the energy of an average nuclear power station mixed with weapons grade cuteness. A comedian onstage - literally! She is the heart and soul of the band. Saiki Atsumi "The Ice Queen" - Lead vocalist and frontwoman. The youngest member at 30. Into train spotting and collecting trainers (sports shoes). Very girly, into doing her nails and is a fashion icon. Really into Baseball and the Hanshin Tigers. Don't mess with her you will lose. But she has a heart of gold and a killer dry sense of humour. Recently started writing lyrics. Has final say on songs. Kanami Tono - "Kanamincho" but usually just "Mincho" for short. Lead guitar and an absolute genius songwriter. Total riff machine. Has two personas. Normally a tiny cute shy very polite lady who seems very innocent (the band have to explain dirty jokes to her). Until she puts on her guitar. As the band say: "then she gets quite violent" - she turns into the shredding rock star she is. Takes guitar off, back to the little girl. Likes cakes, coffee and is totally infatuated by Saiki. She adores Saiki very much, to everyone's amusement. Akane Hirose - "The Gorilla" on Drums. Seems to be the sane member of the band, but is actually the band clown. Has an enormous appetite, seen eating in a lot of MV's. Eats a lot of bananas including on stage, hence the nickname. But she is terrible at actual cooking. Usually has a big grin on her face while drumming manically, Akane was also a DJ (under the name DJ Achi) and likes dancing and goofing with MISA. She also plays trombone! MISA (all caps, no last name) "The Barefoot Assassin" on bass. An absolute bass prodigy, MISA is very shy onstage (and a total clown offstage with Akane). Nickname comes from the fact she plays barefoot and looks like an assassin. Because of shyness often drinks onstage, you can often spot a bottle of Jim Beam on her amp. She drinks it neat. Lately drinking more beer than whiskey though, good girl. Doesn't say much, but when she does it's usually totally hilarious! At a lot of concerts you will hear the fans chanting MISA! MISA! MISA! which has become a slogan.

[@omdtdz]

The fans called themselves Maidiacs. The pigeon thing is best explained from this post on reddit "Miku’s last name, Kobato (小鳩) is composed of two kanjis: one meaning small (小) and the other meaning pigeon/dove (鳩). Hence Kobato can also mean “small pigeon/dove”. She adopted the pigeon persona to match that. In Japanese language, the onomatopoeic sound that pigeons/doves make is kuruppo (くるっぽ) or simply po (ぽ). So Kobato makes that sound too."

[@laughingbuddha2948]

Well, I found out my name in Japanese translates as "horse in the rice field " So Miku has it easy, I guess!

[@omdtdz]

@@laughingbuddha2948 😂

[@bandmaidfanATL]

We are Maidiacs. Miku (the rhythm guitarist, 2nd vocals with red rose) is a 810 pigeon. The drummer Akane is a gorilla, and MISA, the bassist is the Barefoot Assassin. Po is what pigeons say. 🕊️

[@hiawatha.g]

You have opened the floodgates. They may be the best rock group in the world today (I think they are). They are certainly the most creative band since the Beatles, and they are top-tier musicians. I saw many of the classic rock bands - Purple, Zeppelin, Queen, Santana, many more, all in their heyday. I’ve seen Band-maid three times and their performances stand up to any of those legendary bands. Just a crib sheet to help you remember their names: Saiki Atsumi - Lead vocals Born Feb 8, 1994 MISA - Bass Born Oct 15, 1992 Kanami Tono - Lead guitar, Main composer and arranger Born Sept 28, 1991 Miku Kobato - Rhythm guitar, backing vocal Born Oct 21, 1991 Akane Hirose - Drums Born Dec 14, 1990

[@outwest1014]

This is Rolling Stone's review of Band Maid at Lallapalooza this year. The second Japanese band to perform there. Japanese Rockers Band-Maid Put Guitar Center Showoffs to Shame There’s a pun to be made about how much Band-Maid ripped, but the Japanese group goes even harder than that. Fluctuating between hard rock, aughts nu-metal, and pop rock, each member of the quintet is a virtuoso in her own right with more than a decade of practice in Band-Maid alone. They lured curious onlookers into the fold when highlights like “Domination” and “Don’t You Tell Me” got huge reactions from the crowd, but it was the bass solo-versus-guitar solo duels mid-song that got the biggest cheers. This is what those guys in Guitar Center think their ridiculous riffing sounds like. Turns out it’s done best, and most effortlessly, by women in black-and-white maid dresses and frilly hair-pieces as they smile ear to ear. -N.C.

[@paulpetersen879]

Band-Maid is a great live band. My introduction to them was the live videos of "Play" and "Choose Me," however I am going to take a contrary position here and recommend some MVs in 3 different types. Softer, "Daydreaming" and "Bestie." Harder, "Blooming" and "Shambles." Instrumental, "From Now On." Thank you for bringing your perspective to their music. Great reactions.

I liked your reaction a lot, so I gladly subscribed your channel. Band Maid is a Fntastic group, probably the best hard rock group (but also range from pop-rock to metal) on the square. If you allow me I would like to give you a tip while staying in Japan: take a look at another female band that sounds pure metal (power, trash, speed), the LOVEBITES. I'm sure you won't regret it and thank me (you could try "Hammer of Wrath - LIVE" to begin). Personally I love Band Maid and Lovebites in the same way. See you soon.

[@bruceveary1758]

I started listing to them in 2015, and became a Maidiac in the Summer of 2017. I vastly appreciate your characterizations of their fan base as "loyal and dedicated" -- as to what we sometimes hear. The Maidiacs are Top Drawer, as is the band that they follow.

[@emeryharrison9325]

10 years worth of material to check out from the best band ever, Band-Maid. Never knew anything about Japanese bands until I heard Wagakkiband's collaboration with Amy Lee of Evanescence "Sakura Rising ". If you don't know about Wagakkiband they are unique from most other bands, but you can find out what that is by checking out their live version of "Kyougasuigestu + Tsukini sakebuyovu ". It will introduce you to all 8 members of the band.

DOMINATION LIVE used to be the standard introductory song for reactors (out of a diverse catalog of about 130 songs). HATE? LIVE is the new standard. For the trifecta you need to go back now to the very beginning - a non-live MV - for the song THRILL. It's where it all started. It is the first song many of us heard. Our MAIDs have been rocking with us for over 10 years and it has been a journey for us all :) . MIKU KOBATO, the band founder who worked in a maid cafe is an 810 year old pigeon.

On the creation of this song. First, Kanami the main composer was slightly frustrated from not being able to tour due to the lockdowns. Then Saiki the Primary lead singer was frustrated with people cheating in relationships PLU s as she has stated in 2 different interviews, she likes Bart Simpson and how he would tell Homer he hated him, and wanted to put that in a song. So when certain peoples actions annoyed her, she had the perfect opportunity to put it in a song. Rumor has it it was the spouse of a friend of hers who had cheated that was the largest influence on some of the lyrics. And when Saiki heard the first demo of this song from Kanami, Saiki asked her if she was mad or upset about something, Kanami replied that she wasn't mad.

Welcome & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I witnessed this very performance at the venue on Nov.26, last year. Very exciting 3-hour-40-minute-long show with 33-song setlist. (Happy fatigue thereafter 😄) Band-Maid is one of the best bands in our country, especially in live performance. We say "Japan is the country obsessed by Rock Music". The history is very long and the obsession started in 1966 when Beatles visited Japan and held 5 concerts at Budokan. Speaking of hard rock / heavy metal music, a number of bands started to come to Japan since as early as 1970s : Led Zeppelin / Grand Funk Railroad (1971), Deep Purple (1972), Queen (1975), Kiss (1977), Cheap Trick / Van Halen / Scorpions (1978), Judas Priest (1978/79) and so on. Now, any type of rock can be enjoyed here, especially by many all-female or women-fronted bands. They are daughters of American / European rock, for sure. (Many are grand-daughters in terms of age.) Uh-oh, we also say "Japan is the country obsessed by Jazz". It had started earlier than rock 😄

Hell of a band right here guys, very talented musicians. There's this band from Mexico called The Warning that's in Japan now getting ready to support Band-Maid and probably jam together. The concert is on the 12th. I would like to request, if I may, a song by TW, called Automatic Sun at the Pa'l Norte Festival, it's worth a listen, peace.

See, I wasn't exaggerating when I commented on your first reaction to Band-Maid that they really are THE best Hard Rock band on Earth! Looks like we have another 2 'Maidiacs' as their fanbase is known ( though the band always address their fans as 'Masters & Princesses). Welcome either way! Poor Akane's work on drums often gets lost in the dazzling displays by Kanami on lead and MISA on bass but she is always there. Look forward to seeing many more reactions to our Rock goddesses from you both. PS - This was the 27th song of their 33 song set at this gig - the final song of the night is on their YT channel, ENDLESS STORY.

2 new Maidiacs are born.

W'ree not Pigeons. Miku is The Pigeon. That's why she has a Signature Zemaitus guitar, the "Flappy Pigeon", and ends her sentences in Po. In Japan pigeons don't Coo, they Kruppo, which is why she's sometime called Kruppo, or Cluppo. BAND-MAID Fans are called Maidiacs. The have so many different kinds of songs, from soft acoustic ballads to anime theme songs, even an anime OMV. So die deep into the Pigeon Hole. You will be rewarded by The Best Band In The World!

Check out the awesome all female japanese rock/metal band Nemophila next and their song Revive, guaranteed you will like them!

Banger!

[@HG-kr5dc]

日本から。 Mr. Jimmy is really good at Japanese.　　Thank you so much for finding BAND-MAID.　I am sure that Maidiac will introduce many songs and explain about the band and its members.　　Your smiles were so beautiful when you were reacting.　　I hope， you enjoy your BAND-MAID journey.

[@mikeholmes5308]

We're not insane! OK.... well.... you gotta admit we have a good excuse for our crazy! Great reaction, I can't wait to see more from you!

[@RudiTheMan]

Nice, new master and princess in in the house,

[@RogerChance5309]

Two more down the pigeon hole! Awesome job BM4! 🍺😁🤘🏻

[@ggloersen1333]

Welcome to the Japanese (femaile) metal/rock rabbithole. Once you fall in, there is no escape!

[@Mrlovebitten]

I’m glad you are enjoying this incredible band…fun fact that there was another Japanese all female metal band in attendance at this concert that band is LOVEBITES and here is a song from one of their live concerts the song is called The Hammer of Wrath kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8Usi=f_xDKB_ROKcOBI7S and they have two of the best lead guitarists that can shred your face off

[@RobinC63]

Hey there, new subscribers here. I’m sure others will have given you the background of this incredible band. I’m a 64 yr old musician whose roots are in 60’s and 70’s rock and it’s been a long time since I was this excited about a band. There are a few, very few, who have criticized the whole Maid look but I think the juxtaposition of what you see and what you hear is brilliant! I really appreciate your knowledge of Japanese culture. Domo arigato gozaimasu! 🇨🇦🇯🇵

[@bertg2779]

You love Saiki you better carve it on your chest

[@Prober61]

This is their ten year anniversary show. They mix genres all the time. The bassist (MISA) plays with a pick but then tucks it under her finger to slap. Pick, Pluck, Slap and Tap, she does it all. She even plays lead on a couple acoustic songs (Sayonakidori) from their acoustic Christmas concert.

[@VegetaRabbit]

Miku, the rhythym guitarist/backup vocalist/lyricist/band founder/spokesman, is a pigeon. Being a pigeon she often ends her sentences in "po", the sound a pigeon makes. If you google her custom Zemaitis guitar called "Flappy Pigeon" you'll find pigeons engraved on it. She does sing lead on some songs and has a side project called "cluppo" where she is the lead singer. She is also a former underground idol.

[@paullow3377]

That's a huge leap from one of their earliest MV to their latest live video. They have levelled up tremendously since then and it shows. Glad the both of you are enjoying their music and talents as much as us fans. Subbed for more reactions!

[@sugaanessena3143]

This was #27 out of a 33 song setlist. Best part? I was there.😁

[@modelsfan]

Band-Maid best hard rock band and another female Japanese band Lovebites is best heavy metal band

[@javiervicedo4201]

Great reaction. If you continue with BAND MAID you will be the first astronauts to fly without a rocket. When someone ask me what song I should listen to now I usually answer: leave me alone, forget my name and delete my number! (hahaha) because it's a big problem to choose a BAND MAID song. The first one that comes to mind is 'Take Me Higher' (live) or 'Turn Me On' (live) or 'Freedom' (live), ' Play ' (live) or 'Rinne' ( live ) or any 'marvellous' acoustic sogn...etc. etc. etc. and I always explain a made-up story about the day Guns 'N' Roses were sent to play at the school party and BAND MAID were sent to the big arena by Live Nation and Pony Canyon... Thanks

[@jaedo6180]

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! Don't give a shet about you!" Is the ending.😂

[@TJandTheGringa]

🤘🤘

[@user-px2nt6fd3c]

Glad you really did checked out this live. Want to know the other sides of them? May I suggest you to check out "DAYDREAMING" for the softer side that their fans love the most. And check out "Secret Maiko Lips" of BAND-MAIKO that they made it as a joke for April fools day. But their joke is no joke.

[@normanweaver7935]

The song is called Hate? but they're all about love. Love of what they do, love for each other, and love for us, their fans. They really go out of their way to make us feel like a special part of the whole story. Part of their magic
