Ironically, Band-Maid *does* still think in terms of the entire album, but this track is a great radio- friendly single for people (casual listeners) who aren't attracted to the high- intensity musicianship that made their core fanbase sit up and go "WOW!" on first hearing. Had a friend come into work today while this was playing and she said, "Is this Band-Maid? Because the stuff you've played me before was impressive, but I really LIKE this one."

This song is stylistically consistent with their other power ballads. If you haven't heard their slower stuff yet, give them a listen. You'll see what I mean.

This song was co-written with Mike Einziger of Incubus, so nice catch. He did perform with Band-Maid in Tokyo live a couple months ago

Bestie, in the vein of other great mid-tempo Band-Maid songs like Daydreaming, About Us, Memorable, Anemone, Endless Story, PAGE, Wonderland, Awkward, Start Over, Mirage, At the Drop of a Hat and Smile, was co-written by Michael Einziger of Incubus. MISA's playing and bass tone are setting new standards... and Akane's drumming is so in-the-pocket and distinguishable... and Kanami's solo is Daydreaming masterful! The recording and mix are as enjoyable as the song and beautiful MV! And Miku’s English lyrics are heartfelt. Is Band-Maid a band of fashion-forward, trend-setting Besties? 💞 Thx, Mikey, Band-Maid and Steve! FYI - The Maids just released a "Making of Bestie" on their websites where they explain the song and look of their awesome MV.

Band-Maid opened for Incubus in Japan a couple months ago. The band debuted this song live at the show (video previously released) and Einziger came out to play with them. Probably some fan cams still on KZitem from the show. Pretty sure he wrote the intro/outro riff and then collaborated with the band on the rest.

Thank you for your reaction. This makes me think of parts of the lyrics in my first band maid song that is Manners;, "Progress", "Courage", "Evolution", "Always challenging". These words refers to their journey as a band that they want to develop and one way to do so is to sometimes work with other artists and bands and to learn from each other. It also reminds me of my experience that if I ever think of a Band Maid song as less interesting, then the problem is usually on my side because I have not listen carefully enough to what the various instruments are doing. I can't speak for others but I like this song and put it somewhere in the middle of what they produced so far, which actually is of great quality in general. As pointed out earlier, not everything they do are fast songs and there are some great suggestions in some other comments. Have fun! :)

Guessing you have only heard their up tempo songs. Try Start Over, or Wonderland, or acoustic version of Sayonakidori for more variety. Thanks for intelligent commentary!

Typical Band Maid show start with a punch in the face with 3 or 4 song at high pace, then start to mix high and mid tempo songs and make a couple of MC then at the middle to the end made a couple of mid to low tempo songs, then start to rise the intensity of the songs to the end that could be a banger or an anthem, depend of the mood of Saiki

Band-Maid always throw in 3-4 slower, softer songs and a couple of instrumentals in their live setlist. The transition into slower songs from their fast and heavy songs is very smooth, by using beautiful, effective interlude.

For a recent live not as hard song do "Endless Story" which was the closer for their Yokohama arena show which you've done "Hate?" from. Please turn on the English subtitles as otherwise you'll miss some, a lot, of the impact. They have used this as their concert closer quite often in the last couple years but this version was different as it closed the final show of their 10th anniversary tour. Band-Maid truly loves performing and loves their fans. They are a very special group and when you get to know more about them you will see just how much of a beautiful miracle they are. Bestie is unusual as it is, a collaboration, Miku wrote the lyrics all in English, and they did it not in their usual Maid-Battle-Armor.

Great reaction to this song. I love this song, but Band-Maid fans are rockers through and through and this is a bit too soft for them. It's OK, as everyone has their own taste. My understanding is the same as @jamie4993, as far as contribution to the song. Still was composed primarily by Kanami, with suggestions from Mikey-chan. The lyrics were by our favorite pigeon, Miku. If I'm not mistaken, I heard it was Mikey-chan who plays the intro/outro riffs for the original studio recording. Seeing it live was amazing! If you liked this song, you should check out "Daydreaming" OMV, a rock ballad masterpiece and Kanami's favorite song to play. It, after hearing Kanami's Yokohama Arena 10th Anniversary Tour Finale extended intro, has taken over full-time as my #1 song from Band-Maid. It used to share time on the top with "Blooming" depending on my mood. 😆 Continue the journey with Band-Maid! Help them achieve their goal of World Domination! PO! 🕊 🤘😆🤘

I love Band-Maid's slow, softer songs too, but this song isn't my favourite for as similar reason why Choose Me isn't my favourite. Maybe too commercial sounding for me. But it's a good song regardless.

This is a one off in terms of style. I love it but I knew what it was, a collaboration with Incubus. You should also know that you never know what to expect with the maids. And that's a beautiful thing. Try any of these other MVs, including Dice, Manners, Bubble, Daydreaming for a power ballad, or Influencer or Unleash!!!!! All of their MVs are gold 🥇
