Manners - should win every award 🥇 for best rock song of 2021, imho.🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s a song for the ages. Black Hole - are you kidding me - punk or prog-rock & everything in between 🔥😎

[@curtisrrobles7885]

🤙🏼

[@Bekka_Noyb]

agreed!

[@wave8359]

AGREEEEEEED !

[@JuanSan66]

Between these two songs is the wide capacity of these girls to compose from stoner rock to speed metal without losing a grain of catchiness in their choruses. Amazing.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

I believe Miku said it best: 'yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!' ♥

[@stevehall5128]

Cool take on the lyrical meaning. I think that could definitely apply, but mainly it's a manifesto: "This is who we are, what we do, and how we do it. " A more precise translation would be "Methods" but Miku loooooves her wordplay and double meanings.

[@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS]

Yeah that makes sense 😁

[@lonniekramlich6241]

@@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS Miku.......Queen of, Impressionistic Lyrics !! 🔥❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

[@Metal_Auditor]

I think it helps also that Miku is at the point where she's very familiar with English but also not fluent, so I think that allows her more freedom to phrase things in unconventional ways.

[@Slippy6582]

"Manners": It is more about their evolution as a band, because they grow all the time and "The Unseen World" is/was their new album. But also an interesting thought for sure it would also make sense to be honest, but it is about their struggles, evolution, progress and success with their own formula! Greetings from Germany :) Nice reaction P.S: And yes, they are the most versatile band i know...

[@J_musicfanロドニー]

I get to see these amazing ladies live in Oct. at back to back shows. This will be my first time seeing them.

[@Glenner7]

That is the correct reaction to this.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

Here, Jordan. You must memorize their names or remember, you'll fall into the black hole of emptiness and shame: Saiki Atsumi (Sy-i-Key or Psyche) “Ice Queen" - Lead vocals Miku Kobato (Me-Ku) "Small Pigeon" - Rhythm guitar, Vocals, Lyricist Kanami Tono (Ka-Na-Me) “Princess” - Lead Guitar, Keyboards, Main Composer Akane Hirose (A-Ka-Nay) "Gorilla" - Drums MISA (Me-Sa) "Barefoot Assassin" - Bass

[@stevehall5128]

The _Music Gold Rush_ interview is funny af and helps learning the names & personalities. It's on KZbin with English subs (tho check the comments for translation corrections).

[@curtisrrobles7885]

💯% true

[@robert-gillesmartineau1208]

Thanks a load for taking care of that, Tom!

I felt the same way, they do increase complexity as Manners goes along.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Kanami's little arpeggio is straight out of the theme for The Twilight Zone.

Genres, we don't care about them.......we just play what ever we want !!😉❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

[@rustygear447]

18:31 That part Kanami is doing sound fx for spiralling down to the center of the blackhole. The music and the lyric match.

[@rizmancorpuz]

Please check out the Band-Maid acoustic version of "Catharsis" to show more of their diverse musical talents. This video is part of their 2021 Christmas Acoustic Concert and is on a limited availability, so hurry.

[@davidgilman3230]

Great reaction to this double video of two different songs that fit well together. 'Manners' is my favorite rock song of the century (at least until BM releases another album) and you hit on how mellow and groovy it is. I think the evolution they are talking about is how they have developed as a band from groovy, to the present, to the unseen world - the future? Your laughter during 'Black Hole' is so appropriate for the frenetic insane chaos, I am looking forward to October to see how a crowd of 1,000 people will react to 'Black Hole'. You were pausing multiple times during 'Black Hole' to be able to process all that was assaulting you, let us know how many times you have to listen to this song before you can process it all. I agree that the bass tone is gorgeous in both songs - MISA rules!

[@falconsooner]

Great to see back. Official live videos in front of a crowd that you haven't reacted are Freedom, Real Existence, Onset, Choose Me, Wonderland and Cross. And yes....every one of those songs sounds different.

[@VonSchnitzelCrumREACTS]

Thanks Falcon !!! I will add this to my list 😁 cant wait

[@Metal_Auditor]

I would say that the "Choose Me" MV is better than the live, because Kanami's guitar is hard to hear in the live.

[@falconsooner]

@@Metal_Auditor Agree

[@mikye8876]

When I started watching reaction videos on KZbin, I realized that in Japan, people choose music by artist, but in other countries, they choose music by genre. It seems that the tolerance of the listener on the receiving side affects the creation on the making side .I used Google translation, so please don't mind if the sentence is strange.

[@me262talon2]

Black Hole 220bpm!

[@phaeron]

When asked what genre or style they play, these ladies simply answer "YES!". This combination is the perfect showcase of their versatility. ----------- 「 Our rock never dies ever. Forever! 」 --- from BAND-MAID 'Manners' 🕊️

[@PaulEngineer]

Evolution - you picked up one theme of their latest album "Unseen World", and Manners represents the bridge between the rock the Maids came from and progress into something daring, songs like.... Black Hole. G'day VSC, glad you're enjoying the ride.

[@ShikataGaNai100]

Kanami: "A-chan, how fast can you play?" Akane: "About 200BPM, why?" Kanami: "Well, I wrote this at 220BPM..."

[@imrekalman9044]

"Finally, a challenge!"

[@bobbyweber2011]

Bandmaid refuses to be restricted to any genre. They are their own genre. Isn't this how rock all began in the 50's

[@brunobryant4846]

Is it one song or two the man said, Nuh it's several tunes, Band Maid utilise more riffs/melodies in one song than most bands can find for an album. Premier quality, wrapped up in gorgeousness with the capability to musically Kung Fu punch you into rock and roll hospital, fark yeah, okay time for a beer and more Band Maid, peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎸🎤🍻

[@TehPhysics]

I can't wait to see them live in October so I can cry like a little girl for 2 straight hours. I better start hydrating now.

[@stevehall5128]

I wonder if they'll have smelling salts at the meet and greets to revive the fainters 😄 I might be one.

When saiki says "groove". Hell yeah they groove. When you are sucked into a black hole it would be chaos. But ordered chaos

[@himbo754]

"Manners" is almost their manifesto: groove, beginning, difficult, progress, evolution. They keep working hard.

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I love the look on peoples faces when it goes into Black Hole. Thought you had more of the same did ya? lol These two songs show the sides of Band-Maid and the new album. You have a standard rock song (though standard is NOT the right word) and the goes into the wildly experimental stuff like Black Hole.

Wait until you hear them do a sad song. They can be heart meltingly beautiful too. Try "About Us" or "Page"

Dear Jordan! Greetings from Shizuoka City! It is so good to have you and your laugh back online! -We heard, even here in Japan, that Shane Warne passed away! RIP! I am sure he would have rocked to Band Maid! Great reaction again! Incidentally, over 80& of their songs are definitely better live, but there are a few great exceptions! Please try the following in their studio versions, I guarantee you will explode: -Warning -Daydreaming -Blooming They all show a wilder Kanami! Take good care of yourself (ves)! I am a bit busy these days, but expect some longer comments later. I forgot, congratulations on finding an official sponsor! Best regards, Robert-Gilles

I've listened to Black Hole so many times, trying to pay attention to MISA/the bass, and I can't. The awesomeness of the vocals, especially Miku's backing vocals draws most of my attention, and what little is left is taken by Akane. One day... 😻

Manners is heavy blues rock, and Black Hole is Proggy Speed Metal at 220 BPM. Manners is what they were, Black Hole is what they have become. Sense is where they are going :-)

[@lurkmerchant]

There are many bands that play too many samey songs on their live setlists that you'd be only waiting for a few songs you love and leave someone like me bored shi...but never bandmaid. You can check more different styles...Matchless Gum, Anemone, Wonderland, Sayonakidori, Giovanni.....Bubble.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Black Hole is a complex song. It is about a black hole 😆 Its a very proggy rock song. Every musician do its own thing, making it hard to follow. It might be difficult to like this song the first time you hear i. I had to listen some times. But, when I understood the greatness of the composition I started to love it. They are, as I said, doing different stuff and Miku might even be doing two things at the same time. It all is according to plan though at it all make a weave of interleaving movements. Some claim they love it the first time. But I wonder if it was only the chaos they loved or if they really understood it?

Have a look at Blooming kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bXkH14gtSWga8 . It's the official music video and I think it has everything you'd want from them. Akane, Misa, and Kanami absolutely kill it, and Saiki and Miku will melt your heart with harmonies. Then check out Warning for another music video.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

Manners is about to evolve and that you have to put some effort into it to get great. Its not for free. You are right that the song gets more complex. I have no ide if that has to do with the text and meaning of the song. But .... why not?
