Got a ticket for Phoenix. Looking forward to it.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

Unfortunately I live in Fly-over-Ohio, so it isn't going to happen. Never the less, they had to move to a bigger venue in Boston because of the ticket demand. I hope that it happens for every venue on this tour. Maybe it will embolden the confidence of the promoters in the not too distant future to book some Midwest dates.

[@paulwilson7989]

@@scottmcgregor4829 I just checked through a bunch of the venues and it looks like 3-4 are already sold out or looking for larger venues . Phoenix looks like it's very close to being sold out since only the VIP tickets are available now. Maybe the demand will cause them to choose more dates later. It's interesting that they are only covering the far west coast, the far north east coast, and a few cities along the southern border. They are leaving a lot out. People are just getting off work right now and maybe in the next 6 hours will see even more sell out. Maybe.

[@Retec]

I will see you in Seattle!

[@Butchslc]

Got tickets for Phoenix also ... Looks like my last motorcycle ride for the season out of Utah will be to this show. I have the Sense CD+Blu-ray that has 6 songs including this live on it.

[@billb.5183]

Don't worry Wave. No one, and I mean NO ONE, was expecting you to cut down on the pauses. LOL

[@RyanMear]

Man...you really know what your are talkin about!! Keep at it buddy, you'll grow your channel!

[@motley22crue]

LOL!

[@WavePotter]

How did I just see this?! 🤣🤣

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

This is one of the best songs on the album🤘

[@scottmcgregor4829]

I have noticed that on Unseen World that Band Maid is getting as daring vocally in their compositions as they do instrumentally. Miku is the secret weapon on her vocals the same way Michael Anthony was in Van Halen. He really kicked those choruses up to the next level. In a completely different vein,Chris Squire was the secret weapon in all of his vocal harmony work with Yes. His harmonies were almost as important to their sound as Jon Anderson's vocals. Now we have Miku who has the vocal power of Michael Anthony for power harmonies,as well as the invention, imagination, and skills,of Chris Squire. That, my friends is supernatural talent. Band Maid really are superheroes.

[@johnbateman3432]

MISA's bass tone sometimes reminds me of Chris Squire.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

@@johnbateman3432 I never thought about it., Now that i think about, the bass break on dice definitely has a cutting Chris Squire tone.

[@johnbateman3432]

@@scottmcgregor4829 Listen to the beginning of Manners live. She has the treble cranked up similar to Chris.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

@@johnbateman3432 as a matter of fact, I was just listening to Manners today and was thinking the very same thing. It is strange that according to Misa she does not take her inspirations, from anyone that I would call a virtuoso, yet her playing has much more prowess than the musicians that she has named.

[@J_musicfan]

I'm going to the Dallas and Houston shows. Driving from Atlanta. Thanks for the reaction.

[@me262talon2]

Thanks Wave!

[@rocotocloc]

For most people Unseen World is a showcase of the "power trio", and they're right!, there's so much insane stuff coming from Kanami, Misa and Akane... BUT, i think Saiki and Miku's absolutely amazing work should not be underestimated. Both ice queen and little pigeon carries so much of the songs and make them stand out, and "Why Why Why" is one of the best examples By the way, the okyu-ji in Boston will be on my birthday!. Too bad I'm European... lol

[@michaelpalmer3717]

Band Maid continue to develop way beyond their early days. Each member has improved to an extraordinary degree and Kanami's genius is pushing them into whole new areas and the rest of the band are talented enough to answer the challenge. I think Kanami is now outclassing her idol Santana. He is a great guitarist but has his 'box', Kanami has no box, no restrictions just musical genius.

[@technopsychobedlam]

What I missed for a long time is that 'Why Why Why' is almost all in english. Such a great song :-)

[@weilima9316]

Yes, it was Miku with the opening shout.

[@frankgonzalez4853]

i am so stoked!!! i scored VIP tickets for their show in San Diego they are gonna play in the same venue as the Warning is playing next month. gonna be at that one too

[@Space_Ranger]

I hear jealousy is a bad trait. I guess I need work.

[@doobiejones9388]

So love this Song!!! Great breakdown brother!!! PO!😊😎✌🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@zelbinian]

Can't wait to hear that Miku's voice impression again at the Seattle concert

[@chrisegbertky]

My friend what about MISA MISA MISA!!! She did some great stuff on this song. You lucky duck! Glad u get to see the Ladies 2x!!!

[@3WWizard]

Making a long trip to see them in Dallas! Very stoked! First time for me.

[@erikpedersen7977]

Got my tickets to see them in Seattle in October. Can't hardly wait. Hope there is a new album for them to support on tour.

[@suguruji9994]

Why Why WhyにはMVが必要だよね！

[@ricklarsen7189]

I hope they do this song on the tour. I’ll be at the Seattle show. 🤘

[@stealthcabbie1336]

Kanami's solo reminds me of Robert Fripp (King Crimson - Actually I recommend you have a listen to their "Red" album if you haven't already heard it. ) I was gonna say that "Sayonakidori" was the sleeper of the album..... but so many people have responded to that, that it isn't...... I love Sayonakidori.... my top 3...... However, yes, " Why, Why, Why" it is the sleeper song of the album..... a bit experimental, but it's many of my playlists. It's a really cool interesting song. One for fans who REALLY know what Band-Maid is about.

[@TheJerm]

"Why, Why, Why" is three songs, three songs, three songs in one and I absolutely LOVE IT! Saiki KILLS me when she sings in her lower register and Akane just slaughters me...all the time. Thanks Wave! 🕊

[@lurkmerchant]

Yeah Saiki's range has gotten a lot wider. And it's actually showcasing Saiki's range and Miku's unique vocal that's punchy and cute at the same time. Usually instruments seem to appeal more to musicians in general, which is inevitable but recently I am equally amazed by Saiki's vocal ability, lung capacity and rhythmic sense, etc.

[@TimelessHero233]

Oh man you and Ryan Mear will be at the Boston show!? I’m going to that one, too!!! Hopefully I’ll get to see you guys. I’m so glad they upgraded the venue. The original only held 340. The new one holds up to 933. Still on the smaller side, but I’m so glad that more people will get to see them now. October can’t come soon enough!

[@Danacus]

I wonder if they intentionally made a link between the "Whah whah whah" guitar part and "Why Why Why", almost as if the guitar is speaking.

[@erikpedersen7977]

What an amazing band.

[@roygillotti4615]

See you in Boston!, I'm Colpire on the Community Discord.

[@krislea292]

I really enjoy your analysis videos! They're what made me a Band Maid fan =)

[@greylocke100]

This song is the song the Ladies need to play when they go on Saturday Night Live for the first time. In a skit where they are sort of auditioning for Simon Cowlick then they launch into Why,Why,Why.

[@Parker--]

I noticed that on a lot of this album (Saiyanakidori notwithstanding), it's less about Miku singing the backing vocals and more about Miku being a hype-man. She does a lot of shouting, random sound effects and random dialogue. These are very prominent in No God, After Life, Manners, Why Why Why, Black Hole and a little in HGK. To be fair, Miku's hype-man work in after-life and manners are my absolute favorite parts of those songs ("Don't say you love me!" and "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah!")

[@Retec]

I really enjoy her backing vocals on Warning, as well as a few others on this album. They are certainly not gone. But I also love all the "hype"/energy she brings with these fun interjections.

[@GunShark0]

What album is RINNE on? Miku's back up work on that song is so good imo.

[@lurkmerchant]

And Miku's enjoying doing it 😂

[@silentwood207]

Oh boy, I can’t wait until October 29th. I want to see if you pause this much in real life…….lmaoooo…just kidding. It’s going to be an awesome day.

[@wanderleyjesus6772]

for sure he will stop the live gig every fifteen seconds to comment (lol).

[@motley22crue]

The tone of the solo is very G'N R/Slash.

[@motley22crue]

Awesome. Good for you and Rosie :) If I may ask, why did you decide those 2 cities?

[@RahimRahmat]

I'm late... but... man.... what an analysis!

[@user-wz8qt1oe8n]

BAND-MAID ＆ NEMOPHIA AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL 2022

[@cokeglas]

This was instantly on my short list of all time fave BM songs. I can't get over how many ideas they fit into one song. I don't know if you missed or just didn't mention Miku's whispering part at around 5:18 of your video. I've noticed her doing that on quite a few songs now, it sounds like she's breathing right into your ear. She must be stopped!

[@sacluvsBM]

Pretty damn good question considering the state of affairs today. And one few, if anyone, can answer. I am far more concerned about WWlll disrupting or preventing concerts in the immediate future. See some of you at day four of Aftershock and five days later at August Hall in SF. Band-Maid (and by extension all of us) really need to take over the world. Could not possibly do a worse job than those in control currently. Best regards.

[@Glen.Black.]

Once again BandMaid puzzles the crap out of you Wave with all their unique, random, unexpected twists "What the heck WAS THAT! And does anyone know the total count on how many times Wave has said, "I haven't heard anything quite like that before" in BandMaid reactions? I have it at 163! It might be a little low. Your excitement level increases every time you do a BM reaction at the about the same rate YOYOKA's drumming skills do, and we all know that's through the roof.

[@Ves42]

Entertaining and informative... as usual! I'm driving down to the Boston show (12hrs, from the great white north). Looking to get together an after party.

[@WavePotter]

See you there!

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

Or, instead of all the digital surgery, you could just hit the cord with your volume down then steadily roll your volume up while it’s still fresh and sustained.💪🏻🤘🏻

[@surfingasongwave]

Kanami sometimes uses the "woman" tone (check out a Rhett Shull video RSB68OsyqOw) or listen to Cream "Sunshine of Your Love". One way of doing it is by using only the neck pickup, or by using both pickups and rolling off the tone control of the bridge pickup. You can also change the tone controls on the amp to get a version of it but it's hard to do on stage. You mentioned Brian May; his "Red Special" has phase switches, and putting the neck and bridge pickups out-of-phase will remove most of the fundamental and leave only harmonics. That's how he gets his very pure and very high pitches on "Bohemian Rhapsody". Doesn't Kanami's "Angry Larry" have phase switches, too?

[@GSpotter63]

I love Miku's screaming in this... It is visceral but yet still kawaii at the same time. Their ability to show that "Gap" BAND-MAID is famous for just continues to get better.

[@RTEcalcite01]

Sounds like Steve Vai meets Spice Girls. Just crazy genius.

[@DaElfer]

i think miku is their scream queen in the band lol

[@lurkmerchant]

and Saiki did the low backup part right after that as well as in the outro of Manners.

[@tinyhato]

IMO more pauses = more insight = better video. I understand people who want *first time* reactions with no pauses (though I disagree) but this is a breakdown of a song you've heard a buncha times. You don't need to absorb it as a whole at this point. Anyway nice one Wave, enjoy the shows!!

[@WavePotter]

Thank you Tiny Hat!

[@miqoto]

Miku song lol she's the one that opens the song🤣 sound effects and all.

[@jeffersoncosgrove1910]

Love how you absolutely nailed Miku's high note on the intro.

[@WavePotter]

🤣 Thanks!

[@DavidMISAMISAMISACook]

MISA MISA MISA!

[@Liddledriver]

This just shows you that Band Maid is by far the best Japanese hard rock band hands down. And in my humble opinion one of the best in the world. A lot of credit goes to their producer who doesn't get near the credit for their sound. Vanda and Young produced AC/DC and look how far they went. I love those girls!

[@thomasrotweiler]

Did I miss the mention of MISA's bass work in the reaction ?

[@chrisegbertky]

I fear for Wave's ongoing existence 😪 if the Barefoot Assassin is told of his oversight

[@michaelpalmer3717]

Does Kanami or any of the band, have an input in production? Production values seem to match the band's developing techniques.

[@bluntbutters7947]

you going to concerts this year? I'm going to San Diego house of blues oct 17 hope to see you

[@GSpotter63]

C u in Seattle!!!

[@Parker--]

Hey Wave, For what it’s worth, I think I’m the first person to answer the song you were thinking of at 5:25 and it’s Buffalo Springfield’s “For what it’s worth.” Thank you for putting up with that terrible pun.

[@sewthuis9659]

is this the longest band-maid song or something

[@Raiden-R]

Brian May？？？ ‥‥💡yes,yes,yes！ Brian May's phrase. playing guitar long ago.

[@kevinhardy8997]

This song slaps harder than Will Smith 🕊️❄️🍌🥷🎸

[@Space_Ranger]

I'd like to see you and/or the other Gaijin guys discuss how Band-Maid does their "change ups". I'm not sure how to describe it. Where the song almost sounds totally different for a little bit or slower and then back into the song. There could be a whole discussion just on those parts.

[@surfingasongwave]

Yeah, both the transitions between sections (like, going from the end of the chorus back into the verse) and the bridge sections. I know Champ has mentioned their bridges many times; I bet he could talk on that for twenty minutes.

[@ahmadhidayatsyahputra9451]

[@cats-eyes]

I love this song, but I was disappointed because there aren't many reaction videos for it. So I'm so happy. And thank you for the great analysis. I fully agree with your opinion. I also like Kanami's solo guitar tone, but it was a pity that the sound was not reproduced in the "THE DAY OF MAID" video.

[@raddofzennla]

That said, I love watching this on ‘The Day of Maid” Blu-ray because of Miku’s vocal parts alone.

[@TehPhysics]

Seattle and Boston? A truly transcontinental Maidiac. See ya at the Boston show!

Arrrrgh, Cap'n Graybeard. When the album came out, I thought Why, Why, Why would be the one that they'd promote after After Life, Manners and Warning!
