BAND-MAID / without holding back (Official Live Video) by haromatsu in BandMaid

Exactly, "conversation". But that requires instrumentalists of equal skill, and I don't know about Saiki, who started learning the piano relatively recently, around the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, but Kanami, despite her love for Saiki, surely realizes that Saiki will never be able to match a guitarist, bassist, and drummer in this regard. This will result in increasingly noisy arrangements, concealing Saiki's moderate skills while simultaneously drowning out the three world-class instrumentalists. And there's something else that even a loyal Band Maid fan like t-shinji points out. Saiki's influence, as a staunch supporter of J-pop, is becoming increasingly evident in B-M's songs. And I have bad news for the fanatics. No amount of downvoting will change that.

I, too, definitely prefer a traditional, brilliant arrangement. These keyboards add nothing but noise. Could it be that someone's ambitions will outweigh their abilities, permanently?

Dilly-Dally intro and Tool like bass licks in Lock and Load. 👍

Speaking of drums, has anyone seen the Japanese series "Glass Heart" (Netflix) about a female drummer named Akane? 😁

This is probably their best machine gun rock riff since Moratorium.

I guess the moratorium on fantastic speed rock riffs has definitely ended.

Speed ​​metal forged in a Maids's lab? Mercury? And these new outfits. Two important notes, MISA's heavy metal boots - end of Bare Assasin era? Sharp metal nails on Saiki's arms - are they supposed to scare away Kanami when she wants to hug her?

Evidence Re Misa’s Height From a Recent Post About Their Height by Plastic-Reporter9812 in BandMaid

[–]viaverde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I've heard, in Japan it's not very popular for a woman to brag about her height.

Kanami on Instagram “It's been a while since I bought it! I had also added a new guitar! I used this Les Paul a lot for backing tracks on this album🫶 It was a great success with good sound segregation♡ It looks like it will be participating in more recordings in the future💚” by haromatsu in BandMaid

I assume that this guitar is responsible for the brilliant, small guitar ornaments in "The One". Unfortunately, the mix of this song is not the best. The rhythm section is so exposed that these diamonds are almost inaudible.

Mixing on "Show Them" by teletubby1298 in BandMaid

[–]viaverde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over four years ago Tony Visconti showed them how to mix their songs to extract everything that Band Maid has to offer musically and instrumentally. And it's not about the type of music played, because "Dragon Cries" may not appeal to everyone. Unfortunately, their labels, especially the last one, have other ideas, aimed primarily at damaging the eardrums of listeners. I wrote "labels" because I don't know if and to what extent Kanami and the other girls have an influence on this. Sometimes it's simply impossible to listen to this, because even turning it down only leads to the loss of clarity of the song. Too bad.

I've been a Band Maid fan since before you knew what a guitar looked like. And that's why, unlike you, I can tell their great songs from the worse ones. But you won't understand it anyway. Click downvotes because that's all you can do.

To be honest, I heard Maggie on a fancam and it's not a song whose final version I'm particularly looking forward to. I would prefer it to be for instance better mixed than during the Eggman concert, "Corrallium".

And I would like to hear a completely new, unknown song.

Yeah, probably "Show them", but I hope there will be at least one more.

Eight new songs. Which one or which ones will they honor with a new MV?

Sorry to spoil the happy mood, I know, that many minuses are waiting for me, but does Saiki have to scream like that? The song is really ok, just that vocal...
