One little image in Gion-cho I love is Akane walking up those stone steps and stopping to take a look back at the camera. That look on her face IS NOT pensive. It's "If I fall in these wooden sandals on these steps, SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE!"

I like this one better than Secret Maiko Lips. You would probably really like Wagakki Band because they include a lot of traditional stuff. They're really excellent.

When they write the pronunciation in Latin letters, it's called "Romaji." Roman alphabet, that is. But they also have the lyrics running on the screen at the side of it. In proper Japanese, i.e., kanji+kana.

Thank you! I could not for the life of me remember what the “written out” form of Japanese is called! And thank you for becoming a member!

👍Some examples: 祇園町 "Gion-cho" , ありがとう "Arigatō". Bottom line. Music is the universal language and BAND-MAID/BAND-MAIKO are wonderful ambassadors.

Japanese use 3 writing systems; 1. Hiragana - the primary system, words like これ (pronounced kore meaning “this”). 2. Kanji - the symbol characters borrowed (essentially) from Mandarin. Like 祇園 for Gion. 3. Katakana - for phonetically representing foreign words. Like インディアナfor Indiana. Writing Japanese, regardless of which 3 system are used, so we can read it phonetically in English (or any Latin language I guess) is called Romaji, I believe.

Roman alphabet plus Roman (Italian) vowel sounds, like most musical terms. Spanish vowels work. Any word which could possibly not be from English... just say no to English pronunciation rules b/c it's likely Romanized not Anglicized. Japanese also doesn't accent syllables -- extra credit for that :-) Double-extra credit to get the tones (pitch) right -- ordering "sake" might bring either salmon or rice wine ! :-) I still have a tin ear for tones.

If memory serves Band Maid did cover this Band Maiko song when they toured near Kyoto/Osaka. Fact check me somebody!

The endings I know are: City = shi wards = ku towns/districts = cho or machi prefectures = ken But Japanese is so contextual and I'm sure there are various ways to say each of these... but it's hard enough just to learn the correct way to say one thing in one instance in Japanese lol

It is funny how Band-Maid and Band-Maiko are never in the same room together.🤔🤭 If you have the chance, you should listen to the rest of the songs from their EP. PO!🕊 🤘😆🤘 And for reference: Shamisen - Japanese 3 string lute Koto - Japanes harp Shakuhachi - fue (Japanese flute) med to lower pitch Shinobue - fue (Japanese flute) high pitch Daiko/Taiko - Japanese drums Kotsuzumi - Small shoulder drum (technically part of the daiko/taiko classificiation) Since you like the traditional instruments mixed with the modern, not sure if you checked out Wagakki Band yet. If you haven't, try Homura + Akatsuki no Ito live.

*Starting learning lesson* 🙂 All character systems are used here, mostly Hiragana. Most Japanese sentences use Kanji and Hiragana. And Katakana is used, among other things, for words (and names) borrowed from other languages, which is very common in Japanese. I didn't follow the whole text but most of it is written with Hiragana and some Kanji. *Lesson ended* 😆 Sorry for this "teaching behavior" ... I couldn't hold myself back ... 😆... I am very interested in that language which is really good structured ... but the writing system drives me crazy ... I am too lazy to learn and remember all the syllables (not yet talking about Kanji) 😞

In Secret MAIKO lips, the traditional instruments were added by... their sound engineer(?) if I remember correctly. (It's 2 am. So bit hazy. lol) But I know afterwards, Kanami was like "teach me the computer program to do that", and this is the result. Which is just another example of her being a fricken genius.

The Maids are not only masters at genre melding, transitions, riff production, structure and execution... they are also masters of cultural melding. Maidiacs are MAIKOACS, too! 😆Thx, Harmo!

They also use a lot of the slang from the region. Their version of "thank you" at the end is a different version than I'm used to seeing Should try cross if you haven't. Lots of good key changes

Great reaction. Really wish the two bands would do a show together :D.. Also, I believe that all the traditional instruments were programmed by Kanami (digital sounds) and not actually instruments.
