This song is a classic example of their songwriting/arranging genius. As usual, instrumentals during 2nd verse totally different. Akane is SO inventive with her varying and unusual patterns on the drums throughout the whole song, the "two part" guitar solo is just awesome, and the way the guitar solo drops off a cliff into a gorgeous vocal harmony ("take me far away...") - and best of all, the way the "far away" melody is reintroduced during the last part - but this time over the top of yet more Kanami guitar solo - almost bringing together all of the thematic material at once - and finally culminating in that final power chord outro that says to me "so how the hell did you like THAT!?"

One of the things I find unique about Band-Maid is their "circumstance". Bare with me here.... Because of Miku's late introduction to the guitar, she plays the basic song structure. As a consequence or "profit" from this, this allows/ or gives MISA more "room" to do what she does. It's almost like we have a bass player playing rhythm guitar and a guitarist playing bass. I've been thinking about who MISA reminds ME of as a bass player, and that would be Steve Harris of Iron Maiden... only because they like to play high on the neck whenever they can. Again, Back to Miku's guitar parts. Because of "what" she plays, this allows Kanami to "doodle"/play leads in ALOT of their songs. Kanami is one of my favourite songwriters and in my group of favourite guitarists (I've been a big Band-Maid fan from 2015), but I think Kanami underplays her worth.... She is very humble.... which is why a lot of her solo's are short. It seems she projects her band mates at the expense of herself. I LOVE a long (normal length) guitar solo from Kanami. She is such a good/great guitar player, but the way she writes songs it seems that she puts the other girls before herself. Which is very noble... but I wanna hear more Kanami. I'm just a Kanami FanBoy. Akane.... well her "cred" rose when Jimmy Page wanted to have a photo with her backstage at some Japanese Music award show. AND NO. HE DID NOT SAY THAT HE THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS THE INCARNATION OF JOHN BONHAM. Nobody knows what they talked about other than compliments and maybe some advice...... but, her playing reminds me of a "controlled" Keith Moon, and Chad Smith (Big sound, Small kit).

There's so much to like in this song, but switching the speed-up for that sick bass drop in the second verse always gets me Alone would be a good one, they fought to get one of their own songs on an album and you can hear them proving themselves to the label! And the rest is history... so you get to put yourself in that mindset of "ok, show me what you got...... I see" YOLO too - Alone has kind of a different sound to a lot of their songs, but YOLO is just kind of its own thing. The way it's put together is real interesting, and there's a lot of space in there despite all the stuff going on - let's just say you might be into it!

Miku now has a signature guitar the Zemaitis A24MF-FP "Flappy Pigeon" limited edition. You can see it on Herman Li's podcast with Miku and Kanami.

And do we even need to talk about MISA, always so good, if she is supporting or if she is standing out! You will probably get a lot of requests for the more mainstream songs so im going with the hidden gems, and there's a lot of them! Shake That - I Can't live without you - Liberal - Order - One and only - Yuragu - FATE - Before Yesterday - Matchless Gum - Wonderland - FREEZER.

Along with "Play" and "Domination," this was one of the first three BAND-MAID songs I heard when I first discovered them. The vocal harmonies, the galloping drums, and MISA's distortion solidified me as a huge BAND-MAID fan. When I got home the next day, I listened to as much as I could find. It's funny how Kirk has become associated with the wah pedal, but it's for sure with good reason! As primarily a bass guitarist, when I think of wah pedals, I think of Geezer Butler, Chris Squire, and Cliff Burton, three of my early heroes. I saw a pic of MISA's pedal board and thought she used one too, but it turned out to be a volume pedal.

I’m not sure if you’re aware but more than just composing and arranging the instrumental section, Kanami also takes care of the vocals lines. Bluntly put, for 90% of BM’s catalogue, she basically writes up the entire project first, then the others do their own little edits before she rearranges everything into a complete project again. Some fans don’t like it when this is brought up but I feel credit should given when due esp. when it’s someone like her who often overworks herself to poor health and has still refrained from taking credit, not even for a single track from the 100+ out now. Also, Misa and Akane started contributing mostly around Conqueror as stated by Miku herself on a radio talk show around Conqueror’s release date. Kanami places the song first and her insistence is also the main reason why the spotlight among the members is so well distributed. But due to the same reasons, she often gets overlooked by reactors/reviewers and new fans as her lowkey nature as the lead guitarist makes matters worse, considering Rock/Metal listeners are used to flamboyant lead guitarists. What’s more unfortunate is that I’ve seen the same trend in many pro reviews in magazines as well. But what annoys me personally is I can’t fault any of them either coz for whatever reason she isn’t listed in any of the song credits. And from the little snooping around I’ve done, it’s most likely her own decision. Probably a combination of wanting to stay lowkey and making everyone feel included and united. That said, I did like your analysis and you atleast mentioned her guitar sections. It’s just, she is among my fav songwriters and this whole issue occasionally riles me up so I end up venting it somewhere. Hope you don’t mind it too much 😅.

I watched some reaction videos for Band Maid from a vocal coach, and something she consistently said was that Saiki has "percussive voice". It's not a term I've heard before but I can see what she's talking about in regards to Saiki, and I think this song is a strong demonstration of that. Pretty rare for Kanami to use the wah, but I dig it. The strongest early experience I have for it is Eric Clapton when he was playing with Cream. A girlfriend told me it sounded like someone was choking a duck, and honestly I can't disagree, but I like it anyway. And I always have a moment of confusion when I hear someone mention a chromatic scale, because it reminds me of chromatic dragons from D&D. Bit of fun mental dissonance there.

Nice reaction , I see that your video is very thin and we can see everything behind it in the video , like your drums n cymbals and your right arm , is there a way to put something solid behind were you post the video on the screen so we dont see other objects , just asking .

Hey Dennis, thanks :) that's usually just a thing I do for copyright claims, but in fairness I've never had issues with Band-Maid. I'll try to remember for the next one 👍🏻

Hey hey love your reactions! Would you like to react to some more j-rock that hits totally different? Guita Rei is an excellent guitarist and singer-songwriter who creates poppy blues songs (and some have some punk edge) “What Do You Want” kzitem.info/news/bejne/qI6X36utpHtzkqQ this one is more blues “Cocoa” kzitem.info/news/bejne/r2qhr2Rop5OApKA this one is more pop “Categorizing Me” kzitem.info/news/bejne/o6ugtIqEi4qGhX4 this has a chill pop tone “Lazy Loser” kzitem.info/news/bejne/q4-dv557nJSknKQ this has a punk edge, but still blues pop “Black Banana (live)” kzitem.info/news/bejne/05mNtJ6ucGJ3aIo punk blues fusion

This strikes me as odd.....most of the adulation for this band, these written comments, all read and sound very similar. ALMOST as though they were written by the same person....and unusual grammatical errors by people with English-speaking-sounding names. Claims that can’t be taken seriously - LOTS OF THEM. I looked up a name or two online, and can find no evidence that they actually exist. BeenVerified, Twitter, Facebook- that’s very strange. Now who would do that ? The same puppet-masters pumping music into the speakers at live shows for these musicians to strum their guitars to ? For money? Gross. If true, GROSS. The only thing they can’t manipulate? The music really isn’t very good. You aren’t fooling anyone. Go make an honest living - you’ll feel better. I hope.
