That's not a floor tom. It's a deep snare

80,000,000 views is crazy!!!!!!!😧😧😧😧

This guy is the reincarnation of Paganini, but this time he chose to play guitar

Its as surprising as Felix from KPop group Stray Kids. Felix has a really deep voice and then can do a childish voice to. Forestella has a bass singer (profondo bass) so deep when he sings a cover of Lady Gaga Bad Romance he growls at part of it.

日本から。 Thank you for always reacting to BAND-MAID. The members of BAND-MAID get along really well with each other, and that is why we have been able to work with the original members for 10 years. The girls' appreciation for their fans is genuine, and they have a song that expresses their feelings toward their fans, known as a trilogy. In order of oldest to newest, “Smile”, “about us”, and “Memorable”. As a fellow Japanese, I can say that these girls always compose, hone their skills, and practice with their fans in mind. It is precisely because these feelings are not false that they are inspiring and often move us to tears. You will see a different BAND-MAID in the new song “Bestie”. Check it out if you like.

What the name of this song. It was my favorite back in the days?

Years ago Saiki had throat surgery for polyps. She had put it off as long as she could. After she had it she was so please with the results she wondered why she had waited so long. Miku was so impressed she had it too. This was so emotional because it was the last song of the last show of the 10th Anniversary Tour. Another emotional song like this would be 'About Us'. It's a Love Letter to the fans that stuck with them through the COVID Clampdown. Do see a show. They'll be back again.

This is the last song of their 10th Aniversary tour final stage at Yokohama Arena last year. Yeah, they've been keeping gratitute for their fans, but especially at this special occasion. The last lyrics Saiki sang on the front stage was added for only this stage.

Misa plays lead bass on this song. Your "epic" comment was on the mark.

Hi ... you should stop at 7:26 to see how hard Kanami is fighting against tears .. that got me ... and they changed the wording at the end to match this closing song for the concert ... really emotional every time I whatch it ... I don't know why I do it again and again ...

I have listened to tons of rock music in the 55 years I've spent on this planet and I doubt that there ever has been a hard rock band being as creative and innovative as Band-Maid. Not to diminish the achievements of the old masters, honor to them who invented the genre, but these ladies are so fresh and surprising, the controlled chaos, I love them.

Re the “Energizer Bunny” comment, Is it just me, but in the middle of this song I thought Akane looked absolutely spent (understandably so after 3 1/2 hours).

Absolutely a thing of emotional beauty. The growth in Saiki's charisma has been amazing. You can plainly see how the shared love with the audience has affected all of the members. Both Saiki and Akane had me tearing up at the end there. Thanks Bob!

Do centiris

Bros over here sounding like Huey Lewis

Magic

The musical intro itself is so emotional. Song 33 of 33 in over 3 hours. Generally speaking, guitar wise, it's Kanami-right channel and Miku- left. Always love it when we see Kanami singing along to herself. Great song. Great band. Great reaction-Thanks.

Yes this was huge show but they are also fun to be in a small venue. I saw them at Sacramento CA in 2023 and San Fransisco the year before. Hope they come back again soon They were on a small corner stage in a small room. We were all hot and sweaty from standing outside in 110 f then getting packed inside this place and as Miku says "it's so so so hot!" But I tell you, it was SO worth any discomfort to see them. Here's a fan-cam from that show I was at. ua-cam.com/video/MKQOrYduHCw/v-deo.html

Great reaction, Bob, insightful as always. Rock on!

So awesome- love it

An incredible voice, indeed!

At the speed of this song, even I, who am not familiar with music, can hear what each of the five girls is doing. Of course I will listen to it multiple times. and I can feel how wonderful it is.

Saiki's voice was so beaautiful and perfect after almost 4 hours of show, so impressive. ❤

The original is better. Last dude can sing though.

I think it was the best gig of their lives. They have been working towards this for 10 years. Saiki just seems happy and in the moment. I've never seen her so warm and I've seen the band live four times. She doesn't have the nickname Ice Princess for nothing.

~🦾💫💫🏆🏆🏆💫💫🏆💫💫🏆🏆🏆🦾

Its the combination of the two styles of vocals that makes it for me. Perfectly complimentary.

Basically, the Japanese have a spirit of not being under the illusion that they are born stars. No matter how successful they are, they will always have the humble attitude that it is only because of their fans that they have been able to grow to this point.

Thanks again from Japan 有難う。Owing to music education including group singing, which is strictly mandatory in school curriculum here in Japan, we are trained to sing simultaneously. In addition, we are tamed to follow these ladies' direction. The ladies are calling themselves "maid" 🤣 I was there in Yokohama Arena with tears of joy and sadness as well to say good-bye to the ladies at last. The moving finale of the 3-hour-40-minute long show. (33 songs) A little off topic. I went to see Band-Maid's ACOUSTIC concert held in Shibuya on March 20. All of 14 songs performed there were amazing. The finale of the show "Daydreaming" was especially breathtaking for me. The beautiful song in itself and kudos to FIVE instrumental players ! (Saiki on piano) They always compel or lead me to bring tears.

Back in May of 2022 at the end of the first leg of Band Maid's American tour I tweeted to Band Maid that every concert should end with Endless story as Band Maid's story is endless. Thankfully I think someone must have read it as they have used it to finish most of their concerts since. Saiki said that the tower represents Band Maids story so far and as you can see it is still incomplete. We have a lot more Band Maid to come. Thanks once again for your reactions to these amazing ladies Bob.

La mejor voz Dimash es único, angel impresionante se estremece mi cuerpo con esa voz tan bella ñ❤

🤘

This was the last song of their 10th Anniversary finale that lasted over 3 and a half hours. That is some serious stamina for all of them.

Another cool thing about the streamers iirc is that they were printed ("BAND-MAID 10th Anniversary Yokohama Arena" or something like that) so most of the audience could take home a free keepsake souvenir 😊.

Bob a ty masz polskie korzenie

What a band, uber talented, incredibly creative, kick ass live, humble, grateful, absolutely pure class. BAND-MAID is setting the standards and my oh my those standards are high. Glorious 👍🍻 ps if you haven't checked out the vid for Bestie, do do its great and as an old drummer I adore the way in that song Akane incorporates a linear six stroke kick followed by six on the snare, so simple but absolutely perfect for that section of song, Akane is my new Ian Paice. Cheers from Oz 👍🍻

I love this girls nice reaction greeting from germany

At their "day of maid" gig last night they only played songs released since the beginning of covid - so "about us" and "Unseen World" and so on. 22 songs. A bit of a statement before the new album comes out.

Hi Bob. You absolutely nailed the essence of this performance. These wonderful ladies have come so far, improved so much, but they never lost their humility. One of the many reasons so many people LOVE Band-Maid. I've watched this video a hundred times and every time I have to wipe my eyes. Allergies I'm sure. Oh I could go on and on but I won't for brevity's sake. You have to see them live. Seen them twice, the love to and from the audience is palpable. What a wonderful group of ladies, not just exceptional musicians, but ladies, true ladies in every sense of the word. whewww

Thanks Bob--great insights. A song of wonderful nuances. And I could not agree more regarding Saiki's voice. Over the last 18 or 24 months she has really matured, both technically and physically. I think she just turned 30 in February. I streamed this show live in November and I think it was her best. Cheers.

They will almost certainly be back here next year.

You make a good point about appreciation. I am sick of the cynicism in the American music industry (yes, it is an industry), where so many "artists" have such dismissive attitudes toward their fans (and so many fans are weird and scary). This band is like a ray of light.

This is actually an older song, from almost five years ago. The MV was not one of their most viewed, but it is perfect for a live setting like this. Gorgeous song. Thank you for checking it out.

Yeah, it's a bit strange, isn't it, that a band that performs in maid costumes can't be described remotely with the word 'fake', but the word 'authentic' is such an enormous part of them... I didn't notice it right away, but over time I realized that this is one of the biggest reasons why I like B-M so much, and not just for their music. _____________________ _"America invented rock.

She has the most hypnotic voice ever...

Saiki's voice is quite similar to Koda Kumi's. Kumi-kuu is nearing the end of her career, with Saiki taking over as the reigning Queen of J-Rock/J-Pop vocalists.

I've been making music for money since 1966 and I have NEVER heard a band that is this tight, this perfect.
