[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Smile was Miku’s first heart-to-heart with the fans, then About Us came to make EVERYONE cry and now Memorable is wrecking me! They really love us.💪🏻🤘🏻

[@Marcus_C51]

@@bigbrutalbassbeer410 Yes, this really is another of the series of Band-Maid songs sending up their love---so delightful! ❤❤❤

[@gatelnjaran7550]

please reaction band maid-without holding back

[@jakeimhotep4866]

Can we take a minute to appreciate Miku: Promoter, business woman, spokes-pigeon, rock star, pop star and now movie star. There's nothing she can't do. 😍🤘✌

[@stevehall5128]

Between this and Cluppo's "With You," she's also achieved elite-status "slowly wandering around looking contemplative" skills 😄

[@Dan-mc7xg]

She is my hero!

[@mikometal4882]

I ❤️ miku since 2014 when a saw her in the video thrill!

[@johnrowland2887]

Not to mention top notch lyricist.

[@jakeimhotep4866]

@@johnrowland2887 I totally agree 👍

[@RahimRahmat]

Ok, I admit, I really love hearing Miku on her acoustic guitar while Kanami keeps her electric PRS. They sound excellent together, seriously.

[@Marcus_C51]

Oh man--totally agree with you on this! I remember Miku's Zemaitis acoustic sound blowing me away during the Christmas acoustic set along with Kanami's luscious Yairi. The Pigeon's playing and vocals on "Sayonakidori" with Akane and Misa Misa really impressed me, she is playing so well now! The combination of Kanami's PRS and her acoustic really is lovely! I'm sure they will come back to it from time to time for our delight-love these ladies!

[@davidk4170]

There may not be any Miku on the actual recording, other than vocals, usually Kanami plays all the guitar parts in the studio, using Miku's kit where necessary, then Miku will learn her parts by ear for the live performances. Miku works on the lyrics. For this song it might depend on when they recorded it as it was played live a month or so ago and Miku knew her parts then. If it was recorded after then it may actually be Miku.

[@RahimRahmat]

@@davidk4170 Actually, I heard that changed ever since the Unleash EP, but I'm not sure how confirmed that info is. (Heck I can't even remember where I heard that from). Nevertheless, it is true that it's more efficient for Kanami to do the studio recording. Still, remember that they had already performed this at TGT earlier this year, so Miku definitely already knows her parts. I won't be surprised if either of them did her part really.

[@davidk4170]

@@RahimRahmat ​ I heard that about the time of Unleash too I've not heard anything different since but, although its probably quicker for Kanami to record all the guitars, as there are usually more than 2, it may be that Miku records some parts now. If not it is not down to a lack of ability on Miku's part, she is a better than decent rhythm guitarist and an important part of their live sound (just check their last rockstars support set when her amp blew to hear how much she contributes ) I don't know how they work in the studio but it could be that Miku usually works on the lyrics during the recording sessions. I've no idea if that is so or not. As for "memorable" it may depend on when it was recorded. If it was recorded after Tokyo Gardens then it is likely to be Miku on acoustic. One thing I personally did think on first listen was that it had a bit of a "live" vibe to it, especially bass and drums, so it could be that the base track was recorded live in the studio which would include Miku. Again just a guess based on a feeling I got when listening to it, Ialthough I would imagine that wouldn't be the typical way they record.

[@davidk4170]

​@@RahimRahmat Ultimately it doesn't really matter who played on the recording but I think Miku is an integrable part of their live sound that it would be cool if she was also included on the recordings as well. I personally haven't seen any information about the recording of memorable so i don't know if it was recorded before or after Tokyo Gardens. For all I know It may have been recorded over multiple sessions. I have friends who recorded backing and vocals, not only at different sessions but also at different studios. Then there's also mixing etc to do. All of which takes time. Just because a song was played before it was released doesn't mean it was recorded after it was played. The recording may have already been done pre Tokyo Gardens. I don't know. Doesn't really matter but having played in bands and having friends who've done some pretty big sessions i am always interested in how different people manage the recording process. Just to throw another wood on the fire, maybe Miko is the only one in the video because the others were in the studio at the time. :) :0 :) Like I said ultimately it doesn't matter who played on it, it's a good song, not one of my favourites, yet, with a fantastic tribute to their audience. It just bugs me that as I an in the UK I cannot claim to have contributed to the bands emotions after the US tour. :) Maybe one day soon they'll write a special song for those of us over the other side of the pond!

[@AldoGuerraALDO-METAL]

There have been other bands and artists who wrote songs for their fans. Babymetal did The One for the fans. But... Something about Saiki's voice and feelings in her singing this song just hits you hard in the emotion center. Knowhatimean? I'M NOT CRYING!! YOU'RE CRYING!!!

[@johnrowland2887]

You are correct. I am crying every time I hear it.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

I am not! You're crying! Ok, maybe a little....

[@JazzFatcho]

This is a song that Kanami wrote and performed to the members during their US tour. I think Miku's part was probably taken during the Last Rockstar shows.

[@WavePotter]

😲 That is so cool.

[@BacPiggy]

The impact of Covid19 was much more serious in Japan than in US; Maids had to cancel all live concerts that should have been a chance of great development for them. I have deep respect to them because they kept their minds positive during the hard time. Now, the song "memorable" would be their straight feelings evoked form fans during the US tour. I think this is a love song to us from them who have pure soul. I love them.

[@patrickmagrady3563]

Band Maid's love song to their fans!!!!

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Wave it's been 2 years since "About Us" & the last attack by the onion ninjas. With "Memorable" they've brought the whole bloody army.🥲

[@philcalvino884]

The whole damn song was great, but I agree that Kanami's beautiful guitar solo over Akane's drums was pretty special. Like so many other passages in Band-Maid songs, you don't expect it, but when you hear it a couple of times, you realize it fits perfectly.

[@flugelhornoldman1362]

Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 According to Uta-Net info, the lyrics by "Miku Kobato - Saiki". At Tokyo Garden Theater, "Memorable" was played after "About Us". These two songs soothed the audience emotion (I was there) .. and then brroom!! "Manners".

[@DaElfer]

i wanted to film my very first band maid reaction when their next song came out.... but when i saw they dropped one today i couldnt help myself. watched it at school and couldnt wait till i got home to record. well guess it will have to be the next one. Damn they just make music that makes you forget your plans

[@WavePotter]

I feel ya! It’s tough when you have to wait!

[@DaElfer]

@@WavePotter I'll get the next one. I guess I just get to enjoy hearing it 50 times as I watch every reactor doing their reactions

[@rocotocloc]

It's so cool that they just take a moment to write a love letter to the fans in the form of a song... and they've already done this three times!, man this band is something else

[@JK-tz6kk]

Band Maid songs are offsprings of their relationship with their fans. They sure know how to nurture their child (music), Po! 🦍🍌

[@kotarou-x]

BAND-MAID is showing us a new definition of what "bad-ass" means with every song, concert, and most of all their style.

[@phaeron]

Once these ladies have you wrapped around their little fingers, which is definitely the case with me, they make sure they never let you go. :) A beautiful song that effortlessly makes it directly into my top 5, which consists of at least 30 songs. 🤭🤘🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊

[@johnrowland2887]

" A beautiful song that effortlessly makes it directly into my top 5, which consists of at least 30 songs." I have the exact same problem! 😉 I wanted to make a mix tape (yeah I'm old) but the ones I have are only ninety minutes long. I could never pick the songs. There are just too many. Others have said " am embarrassment of riches". I agree.

[@kirkscott2]

The bass line is so cool. It has a great melody also. It's my favorite ballad now.

[@lewissmith4123]

Gives me About Us feels, pass the tissues.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Hello my old friend... Mr. Wallet. Just ordered their new BD drop of the Tokyo Garden concert so I can hear (and see) Memorable over and over again. In the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, Anemone, About Us, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile -- I’m so touched that their time in the States inspired the sentiment of Memorable. Just under $140 with shipping (April 26) & awesome bonus package at CDJapan! Thx, Wave!

[@lurkmerchant]

I wish they release DVD version of tgt okyuji😢 I don't own a blu-ray player.

[@MaartenT]

@@lurkmerchant There is a DVD version available DVD (regular sales) PCBP-55597/JPY5,500(TAX IN) Normal packaging [DVD] “BAND-MAID TOKYO GARDEN THEATER OKYUJI (Jan.09,2023)” Live Performance video I pre-ordered my Blu-ray copy on the Japanese mzn (mentioning the full name might get the comment removed) and there were DVD versions on there as well, but I'm sure all shops should have them. Or do you mean a version with the documentary? I'm not sure why they don't have one, but it might have been difficult to put that on one DVD depending on how long that's going to be. That said, I own a Polkadot Stringray CD that has a bonus concert split over 2 DVD's, so it's not impossible either way.

[@lurkmerchant]

@@MaartenT Yeah I've seen it on bandmaid shop and ordered one! Thanks.

[@sobabruddah7576]

Beautiful song 😭🥰!!! Looks like Miku took a trip out to the desert during the TLR stop in Cali 🤙🤙👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@GeographRick]

For sure. You can see the Joshua Trees behind Miku

[@JuanSan66]

Damn, Saiki´s voice...

[@davidcampbellii6342]

I finally had a moment to watch the MV and then come over to your reaction. I’m still rubbing my eyes Wave. Thank you brother! 🤘

[@charlescoleman4017]

Wave, how did you not turn into a blubbering puddle watching this? I think most of us did. Great reaction video mi Amigo!

[@markmark6378]

Is it about time to start listing Saiki as one of the best female rock singers of all time??

[@Space_Ranger]

So nice after the breakneck Unleash EP. I love all they do but I needed something to relax too as well.

[@stephenkalisz6495]

they just went country, bandmaid can do it all.

[@Kevin6059]

Would have been here earlier but I had to pop out for some more Kleenex. Makes me feel all warm and snuggly inside - until I think about all the money I'm going to spend on their new Blu-Ray.

[@Marcus_C51]

Wow, I loved this in the Tokyo Garden show and it's so nice to hear this well produced version--absolutely gorgeous. So this was filmed in Joshua Tree during the US tour I suppose? You are so right Wave, the cinematography in this video is out and out luscious! And a documentary of the tour is in the works? Misa surprisingly reserved during the solo-ha ha! Yes, the additional background vocals are really special too! I love that they always have that special and unique Band-Maid "treatment" on everything they do, the solo section being an example. "Memorable" is an aptly named song, it most definitely is! You're right, what other band has done so many "love to fans" songs? Ahhhhh...sigh.....❤

[@weilima9316]

More likely to be this month between the two TLRS shows. More downtime. And also the song wasn’t done yet while they were on tour.

[@VegetaRabbit]

1:03 Props to the cinematographer for that cool shot. With "about Us" they now have a couple of fan appreciation songs, I'm struggling to think of another band that does that.

[@lordvorador5735]

Don't forget about "Smile", their original fan love letter. 😉

[@Dan-mc7xg]

the love they give, is the love received!

[@christopherjq7414]

It looks like they filmed this in Joshua Tree National Park in SoCal, very cool

[@Caldeer]

Such a awesome Video and Song. Feels fresh once again, it never gets old with them. Also Hyped for the Garden Concert which releases this April :)

[@Kevin6059]

So if that's Joshua Tree, and I thought I saw a Joshua tree - I could have been there dammit! Wifey and I were in La Quinta 2 days after the SD show. As Maxwell Smart used to say, "missed it by that much!"

[@ericifune5543]

Probably between NY and LA shows of TLRS.

[@grahamreed8774]

The documentary DVD is from the US tour and is part of the limited edition Blu-ray/Photo book 2 CD version.

[@roquesanchez3216]

Very Nice!!!!! Looks like parts of the video were filmed at the Joshua Tree National Park area in southern California.

[@kairukafuka6022]

I got a new wallpaper with Miku's sunset silhouette. ^^

[@RahimRahmat]

That's a brilliant idea!

[@dustykatt]

They obviously stopped in Arizona or New Mexico for a day, but man those are some awesome shots

[@mikeosgood3846]

Was this filmed here during the US tour? Miku's wandering thru the desert southwest.

[@sluggowonder]

The performance footage looks like its from TGT.

[@WavePotter]

I heard Kanami wrote this while on the US tour and they probably filmed that a couple weeks ago during TLRS trip.

[@sluggowonder]

@@WavePotter They did have a week between NYC n LA shows n the desert is next to LA.

[@Sakuder]

They mean us.

[@TwinTailSteve]

Nothing is "inner" about Miku movie star Wave. MISA lead.. 6:07 to 6:40. Am I right?

[@vincentgallagher7562]

Kanami Tono: her parents insisted she study business & finance & production at the university, if she was going to pursue a career in music.

[@richclayton6063]

Shoot a video in the desert..... that was probably the best way to get a little pigeon away from the tables in Vegas

[@lurkmerchant]

I sense so much Saiki and Miku in the song like you said. They might not have written this song but probably had a lot of input in this song, because it doesn't sound like typical Kanami.

[@Raiden-R]

Kruppo of sorrow.❤🕊

[@Gary-Ellis]

Looks like they took advantage of being in Southern California.

[@thefamjaycrew3901]

Bro you’re looking like old school nerd 😊😎👌👍 love this song did reaction on my channel too awesome 👏 reaction Wave can’t wait to see them for my first time ever seeing Band-Maid going to be incredible seeing them in Detroit in May Saiki voice beautiful in this song along with Miku best band in the world 🌎 😊👏👍🎸😎👌

[@musgrave6886]

then they pause for wistful tunefulness with a 90s vibe this time around...

[@stephenkalisz6495]

im losing it, for me, im getting a metallica vibe here.

[@stevehall5128]

First listen: Kinda generic. What the heck is happening at the beginning of the guitar solo?! Second listen: Jeez, they're really good. Third listen, after somebody pointed out it's another love letter to the fans _a la_ "About Us": Goshdarn onion ninjas

[@MaartenT]

I knew it wasn't for me from when I first heard it during the liveset. It's a little too simple and poppy for me, but I'm sure I will find at least some cool parts over time. At least, that's what happened with most of the other ballads by them. But as it stand now, it's one of my least favourite ballads by them and there are only a couple of those that I really like. I prefer my "beauty" in music to come from other things than lyrics (which I generally ignore, especially on first couple of listens) and I'm usually not a fan of overly "sweet" sounding music (or other media), so that's probably not helping. Still a well-done track, just not for me. I did pre-order their live Blu-ray though, really curious about the documentary even though it's probably going to be tough without subtitles.

[@billrand4138]

nah ,, worse one they have done
