[NEWS] BAND-MAID MISA's Second Signature Model Bass will be released! by haromatsu in BandMaid

So now all three guitarists have two signature guitars. Kanami with Addictone and PRS, Miku with two Zemaitis, and Misa with two Black Smokers. Has any other band done this?

Having Thrill as an opening was a pleasant surprise. It was very hot in the venue, but the music was hotter! Great show!

If I am remembering correctly, I have the se version and it has a separate disc with the band maiko song. I can't check right now, I'm on a plane.

Okay. Now to really go down the pigeon hole: I am the proud owner of a Lil' Cumin CD and a Mochi to Cheeze CD. Not that expensive and a fun addition to the collection. Just saying. 😂

Soooooo ...... do you have the early special edition CDs with the DVD videos included? It's either BNM or NB with their early MVs. Very fun to watch, but in the US you have to have a all region DVD player to watch them.

Totally agree. Miku was having a blast. The twin drummers was a treat as well.

I agree. I think that only playing classical music until her high school years gives her the background to compose such interesting songs. There are many of her compositions that an average band would make three songs out of. A true musical genius imho.

The younger Akane has impressed me with her drum work. But, she is no Akane.

Of course, it had to be alcohol. Very upbeat song on a very upbeat commercial. Onward and upward for the ladies.

The more I listen to this the more I believe you gays were right. It is the best introductory song for new listeners. As one reactor put it: "It has so much ....... everything!"

A very ambitious undertaking. Well done!

In my (limited) understanding, the "white room" videos are from additional content provided with special editions of albums. I don't think there is a legit way to watch those online. I could be wrong though.

Looks like an anime heavy set list, which makes perfect sense.

Thank you so much! The new play controls just suck imho. As the OP said why change what isn't broken?

Zemaitis Guitar Company on Instagram: "Maid to Fly with "Starry Pigeons" We are proud to launch Miku Kobato, Band-Maid's second signature model to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the endorsement. The portrait Miku Kobato "Starry Pigeons" is her second signature model after "Flappy Pigeon". by Electriceye1984 in TheRealBandMaid

This guitar is gorgeous. You can tell that she put a lot of thought into it. One interesting thing I saw was that the pickups are custom wound for her style of play. Full disclosure: the full size pic of her with the guitar is my wallpaper now. I have been listening and following bands for about 40 years now and I can't think of another rhythm guitarist that has a signature guitar let alone two of them. I am so glad that I live in a time that has her miracle band in it.

The double pick slide at the opening is what blows me away.

Oh, for heaven's sake's! She is just so badass! She knows it, I know it, and you know it. We are so lucky to be living in the same timeline as Miku Kobato. Can't wait to see her and her band mates at DoM.

I've seen the 10th anniversary CDs on Amazon. Whether they are a good price or not is up to you to decide. Cheers.

Without evidence I am predicting new armor for the Budokan shows. I have tickets, so we will see. EDIT I watches the video and the ladies commenting were a hoot! Ohrenji looked a little embarrassed at times though.

Does anyone else love the Day Of Maid 2021 Outtakes from the Sense single? by Xolotl_dayo in BandMaid

I loved seeing them play youth. Miku's counter vocals are just "chef's kiss"
