I hope i can join the live stream tomorrow 😁

[@cius2112]

Hey Wave, there is also a BAND-MAIKO version of "Awkward". It has a different name tho, its called "Akasimahen"

[@philcalvino884]

"They have so much relistenability, because they're so layered; but unlike a lot of layered music, they don't sound like a mess." --Wave Potter 👏👏

[@RyanMear]

GREAT GREAT song!

[@JazzFatcho]

Band-Maid Prime has that live.

[@scottmcgregor562]

Kanami's Santana influence really comes out in the lead.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Awkward......a superior song🙂👍🏻

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Awkward -- a song somewhere between unexpected and masterful. And all the recent acoustic versions... sublime! Thx, Wave!

[@patron40silver]

The thing that sticks out to me the most is how much different Saiki sounds on this compared to now.

[@tinyhato]

Great look at a top-class Band-Maid song. I love this song more and more every time I hear it. I think it may be one of their very best, which is really saying something! See you in the livestream!

[@Puyax01]

You just did one of my fav song performance

[@miqoto]

btw they also did this as a self cover as Band-Maiko ;) (also of note, not the 1st time theyve done this as an acoustic) ;)

[@lordvorador5735]

Nice reaction! Now you have to check out the BAND-MAIKO version. It's called "Akasimahen".

[@jon87583]

Good call! That's a sweet version - super clean.

[@AMetalheadsPerspective]

Kanami: how many drum fills are you going to have... Akane: yes...!!!! Wave needs a double kick/drum fill counter!!!!

[@WavePotter]

😂 I don't know if a counter could keep up!

[@yitzu48]

ofcourse Awkward from Just Bring it one of the best songs of Band Maid!

[@inspira657]

Good song and this good channel sir

[@snowdog5895]

Just a brilliant song, remains a top 10 BM track for me! Wave if you have not seen the Studio Coast show I highly suggest you you check it out, they were on FIRE that night! 🎶🎸🥁🎸🎶🔥🙂

[@lordvorador5735]

He has Band-Maid Prime, he can watch it the LEGAL way if he wishes.

[@snowdog5895]

@@lordvorador5735 I didn't realize bili bili was illegal 😮😂

[@lordvorador5735]

@@snowdog5895 Blatantly hosting copyrighted material without the consent of the owner is most certainly illegal, & bili bili does it all the time. They don't give a damn about copyright laws of the rest of the world, so they should not be supported. If you enjoy Band-Maid's music, then you should want to support them for their hard work in creating it by watching & supporting the official distribution of their material, which is Band-Maid Prime in this case.

[@snowdog5895]

@@lordvorador5735 Of course I want to support the band! I am simply not too educated on the workings and legalities of copyright laws and the internet. My intention was to encourage the watching of that incredible show. ✌🕊

[@lordvorador5735]

@@snowdog5895 Your intention is honorable, & I don't hold it against you for not knowing. I apologize if I seemed hostile, the subject of pirating the Maids music is an infuriating one to me. They work their asses off, as you know, to bring us some of the best music to come out in the last 20 years maybe more. Sites like bili-bili and idiots uploading their payed only content there are literally stealing money from their pockets, & these women deserve every Yen they earn. We are good by the way, & long live The Maids, Po!✌🕊

[@mattdhorstman]

This is from the same concert as Puzzle and Moratorium that you've previously reacted to (and Matchless GUM that you've heard in a livestream). The full concert is available on Prime. You're only one or two songs away from being able to listen to it with no spoilers. :)

[@WavePotter]

Oh boy! I can't wait! 😀

[@Metal_Auditor]

Just Bring It has so many good songs on it, I pretty much rank it neck & neck with WD and Conqueror.

[@EccentricEngineerMN]

Love their Just Bring It Period. Kanami has such tasteful and short sweep picking solos. afterlife and alone are other great ones. by the way, you should check out screaming

[@threemonkeysk]

There is another very good version of "Awkward" done acoustically out there in YT land and it's a Saiki & Kanami one with a different arrangement.... if you can find it.

[@frankgonzalez4853]

I never could find it on YT I found it on Reddit still trying to find yolo acoustic all I got is copy to a reaction to it .

[@chakouyang2545]

Saiki voice sound so!!! nice here

[@silentwood207]

This is my favorite song........................at the moment

[@powbobs]

Thank you MISA for this amazing song.

[@rdiiev6973]

Everytime i see this awkward live version, i always remember Akane doing dab move in 9:58 😄

[@stealthcabbie1336]

I won't say that Awkward is "underrated", but it does fly under the radar. Thanks for doing it because it needs more recognition, as does Anemone, Puzzle, Moratorium, Sayonakidori and a bag load of other songs. Band-Maid has sooooo many hidden gem's that it's not funny. It's rare to find a band that can produce an album where all songs are of high quality..... and yet Band-Maid has "4" of them. (THEY don't include "Maid In Japan", "New Beginning" and "Brand New Maid" as official albums....... but even they are effing great.) Keep up the great work. I just re-watched the Acoustic concert and I have to say Miku's reworking of Sayonakidori is my fav. It is my favourite song from Unseen World (So Spotify tells me), and she nailed it. Seeing Miku performing without Kanami made her cred skyrocket...imo. such a brilliant show.

[@mikeanglada742]

Old Mr B!! Great Fellow... 🤘 Almost certain I introduced him to, or was amongst the first to do so, to Band-Maid and several others, several years ago. Ayu Gusfanz, YOYO(Pinxi Liu) Guitar, Petty Rock and maybe Li-Sa-X and Yoyoka Soma... 😜 Got a few shout-outs from him back then! Was Cool... 😁

[@metalishimo6645]

OKYU-JI TOUR Autum-Winter 2017, 　This live is the best for both the performance and the set list.

[@phaeron]

A fine example of why I value the entire acoustic performance so much. These ladies just know how to surprise you again and again positively, and their understanding for what they do is always amazing to me as a non-musician. _____________________ 【 _Our rock never dies ever. Forever!_ 】- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

[@9masking203]

It is not so much Band-Mais fun know that " Awkward " and " Anemone " are hidden masterpiece ballad songs of Band-Maid .

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA! I'm sure some one will correct my mistakes MISA had some input into this song especially telling Mincho to stop tweaking it was DONE.

[@powbobs]

Yes, she put her foot down and made Mincho stop messing with it.

[@hardbros2021]

Just Bring It album will always be my favorite even though WD, CQ & UW is much better. I just can't get it out of my head

[@billb.5183]

Awesome!! Thanks for doing my request Wave! I knew you'd enjoy this song. =)

[@sidneysilva4610]

this song makes me feel good

[@kevinhardy8997]

Love Awkward. It’s not as slow as I think it is. 🕊️❄️🍌🥷🎸

[@jon87583]

Isn't that intro one of the catchiest, most satisfying intro riffs you've ever heard?

[@falagar4567]

Ohrenje has an acoustic version on his channel, I'm surprised you didn't throw it in as well.

[@jonathanlane2579]

Wave: Go back and listen to the XMas Acoustic Okyu-ji - you're right: this is where Misa joined Saiki & Kanami. Misa preserves one of the signature riffs of this song - the sort of lead-in to the breakdown around 1:10 on the album version - the da-da-da-dah, da-da-da-dah ... on her bass. It's the only "mention" of that riff in the acoustic version. It's so Band-Maid to include that little chestnut as a nod to fans of the song. My music vocab sucks.

[@catschoose1248]

First time hearing this song. So nice, how does Kanami write so many good songs in just a few years??

[@sms95501]

Who has the Kanami t-shirt?

[@jameswelsh598]

I could never be a reactor, I have to listen to everything they do

[@chakouyang2545]

This is why Saiki is the lead vocal she sounds so!! good

[@hayabusasuzuki7749]

amaing musician miracie kanami

[@gib666]

Much different is perfectly valid English

[@billrand4138]

much prefere the older stuff

[@GSpotter63]

Am I seeing things or did Akane sneezes at around 9:59 in this video interrupting her beat?

[@wedonotsow7714]

Honest question, how is what Mr B's doing even remotely Fair Use? I mean, Wave can even use his "reaction" as if it where the original video.

[@_DriveTime]

It's not, but the copyright holder is free to allow use wherever they like. They don't tend to bother reactors much. They defiantly claim the revenue though.

[@_DriveTime]

@ lol

[@_DriveTime]

@ My views on the matter seem to align perfectly with what happened to your videos, while your videos got copyright takedowns. No amount of personal attack will change that reality. Sorry that IP rights are upsetting to you. China doesn't recognize them, so there's always billibilli.

@@_DriveTime Haha, wrong again Sherlock. You have not posted any "views" on the matter unless we count "it's not" (laughable) - don't pretend you know me or my situation. It's pretty obvious you have no actual expertise in any of this. My videos are ALL still available, and in dispute with KZbin as I now have letters from RIAJ and GUMP stating RIAJ owns NO COPYRIGHT and the owner never requested any action. KZbin is the roadblock. My distribution methods are really none of your business but I am still putting out one video per week and getting them to viewers. I don't really need Bilibili ... or your "sage advice" because you are wrong ... again. BTW, you never addressed the OP's question. If you'd like to go ask Old Mr. B a question, please do so. Care to explain?
