The people who are enjoying most in this video are the members on stage without doubt. American fans, thanks for your hospitality and enthusiasm 有難う 💛。

[@Kissthetoad321]

The Maids give happiness to their American fans.😘As Europeans I am not jealous. I'm just happy to see them happy.

Vladimir is becoming the 7th BAND-MAID member: Miku, Kanami, Akane, MISA, Saiki, Hamburg’s pillar and Vladimir

[@GSpotter63]

No pillar this time... I hear rumors she has retired... Something about needing to support local members.

[@curtisrrobles7885]

lol, so true

[@haggaisimon7748]

That was The Best. And that Kanami craziness was awesome.

[@edwardmcalister8743]

You gotta be a Maidiac to get the pillar reference. Good one!

[@Muzicman2112]

What would solidify Vladimir as the 7th maid if he can do the dance in after-life!

[@chrishunt3128]

5 true rock goddesses all in one spectacular band how lucky are we the fans, best live band on earth, best of the best.

A word to those watching this video for the first time. This is not a video of grandpa at his granddaughter's music recital. LOL. A group of veterans who have participated in concerts by Led Zeppelin and the Stones. well done! band maid

[@John-iw5qf]

thanks for posting this great footage... i had such an awesome time at the show. the band exceeded my already high expectations... heck, even the crowd was great! it was just a fun time. gotta see em again

[@jan-ovepedersen5764]

Thank you Vladimir for sharing. Great to see Miku's Flappy Pigeon put to good use, amazing guitar, it's a piece of art. They all shine, but Mincho's soloes melts my face and heart every time, they never stop making this old bass player grin from ear to ear 🙂

[@larryhoopingarner6445]

Another comment the Queen is quite pleased with the audience call back on Play. Thankyou Vladimir.

[@VladimirChupin]

Yes, Saiki is very happy with the audience on this tour! She smiles a lot 😍

[@gregs_music_corner]

Lmao Mincho messing around with Misa in the background while shredding dice was priceless

[@Yusuke_Denton]

Glad to see you back with the videos Vladimir. Thanks for posting!

[@Frisbieinstein]

That's the most enthusiastic audience I've heard in many a year. I can hear why. It psyches up the band. I lived in Japan. Little girls like to run around shrieking. This is what they do when they grow up.

[@toshipopo1]

みんな良い顔で楽しそうなライヴですね。 羨ましい❗

Oh my fucking god !! What a band and a show. I'm so jealous ! I'm 48yrs old now and I've seen many concerts over the years Ozzy Osbourne x4 , Guns n Roses X2 , Van Halen , Mötley Crüe, Skid Row just to name a few. Never would've thought In a million years that 5 lovely girls from Japan would wipe the floor in every way with the bands I mentioned. They have been my number 1 favourite band since I discovered them 4 years ago by accident. What a happy day that was. Now they just gotta get down under and rock Australia!!

[@herbpoints]

it's so so so fun! 😄😄😄 but I'm so emotional 😭 literally I'm crying now😭 BM is great🤙

My third time seeing Band Maid live here is Los Angeles. I’ve noticed the whole band interact more with the crowd now than their first show back in 2018 where Miko mostly led. Like they say, third time’s the charm! Outstanding show.

[@VladimirChupin]

Yes, Saiki speaks pretty good English!

[@kampfret]

[@Raggedyman72]

This was an awesome show. I can't think of any band I've seen where all of them are having so much joy the entire time.

[@raybliu]

Wow, Freedom was the first song I heard from them and was drawn immediately to them because of the Akane solo and the joy they brought with them in their music. I'm so glad that they will include the drum solo in the show. Can't wait to see them in NY and NJ. Thank you for sharing the video.

Dear Vladimir! Sincerely man, I am so pleased to see you safe and reporting again on your favorite band! We still have plenty to rejoice about in spite of Sauron burning the East! Absolutely superb fancam video! Incredible atmosphere created with the complicity of so many fans covering such an incredible age scope! How many rock bands can tell that their fans are found both among teenagers and grandaddies (I am one of the latter, after all! LOL)! It is so gratifying to be able to watch such (archives to become!) videos when one is living in Japan! A band to dominate the world? Probably! A band to unite the World? Definitely! Looking forward to more gems from! Best regards to you and all your dear ones! Robert-Gilles (from my work PC)

Hauʻoli Lā Hānau!!! MISA!!!!!! MISA!!! MISA!!!!!🥃🥃🥃 This concert was such a blast. 3D fun from hosting the World Famous Vladimir Chupin to finally meeting Peter Lim, SJ Nixx, Ryan Mear and seeing Alan again. I was glad to be able to soak in all of the Maidiac love that I missed out on my 2 previous concerts in LA. A HUGE shout out to Peter Lim and SJ Nixx for creating so many fun opportunities through out the day for the Maidiacs waiting in line up to concert time. I had a blast handing out the Misa! Misa! Misa! Bday towels (700 provided by SJ Nixx) to everyone waiting in line with Matt Lubash and 1000 cool stickers too. A lot of other cool Merch was being handed out by other Maidiacs as well. A shout out to the few people that dressed up in Maid outfits. I was able to get a few of the "Fan-Maids" to take a pic in front of the now famous Band-Maid bus. Singing Happy Birthday to Misa was icing on the cake. I just hope that the cool gifts provided by Peter Lim before the concert get to Misa.

Like most rock bands , the classics are the best 😀

[@VladimirChupin]

Oh, the new stuff is amazing! I have to rewatch all these recordings myself, to really appreciate them, because the sound in the audience was awful. Alan from DICODEC said, he used the noise-cancelling AirPods, and got the best sound. I think the phone does the same type of processing. So, the recording must be much better than the original, I guess.
