BAND-MAID - YURAGU
Added 2025-03-23 15:00:11 +0000 UTCThere is just something about this album that I absolutely enjoy. I am not knocking the older albums at all, but this album feels like the true beginnings of the BAND-MAID we know today.

2025-03-25 00:01:56 +0000 UTCGreat suggestion! Since the videographer is right in front of her, this one really shows what MISA is doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_4draQ3u4Q

Thank you for this reaction - I know I don't pay enough attention to the older Band-Maid albums, but this is a great song - the build-ups from both the dual (dueling?) vocals and Kanami's guitar are wonderful.

2025-03-23 19:09:54 +0000 UTCThe album is excellent, compact, and very well written by excellent studio musicians. The girls already had some room for arrangements; in fact, they were on the verge of casting off, ready to find their own sound. Brand New Maid's compositions have a strong sense of classic hard rock with that typical J-Rock taste for fusing and coloring music with diverse genres. Japanese musicians, in general, are unbeatable in that respect. This 2016 interview in Natalie Magazine puts into perspective what they themselves thought of the album at the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/BandMaid/comments/rru96o/interview_with_bandmaid_on_natalie_brand_new_maid/

2025-03-23 18:48:56 +0000 UTCHi NittPicc. I remember in the 90ties reading an interview to Alanis Morisette talking about her finding her 'own voice': this concept stuck in my brain and ever since i always keep that in mind when i listen to musicians (being singers or instrumental players), Some artist have it from the start (take for example, Sheena Ringo which was pretty defined from the start, vocally) . Some need time to find their signature 'voice' (I think this is specially true for instrumantal players). I think, like all maidiac, that Kanami found pretty quickly her own voice: but generally i can hear each member 'voice' in band maid songs: sometimes when i listen to their songs i'm like 'oh..this is Kanami sayng this, and here Misa replying..and here Akane '. Songs end up like a chat of friend each expressing their colors. It's a little childish thought, but you can get what i'm saying i think...

2025-03-23 16:55:35 +0000 UTCComing soon on NittPicc Patreon reactions - The Great Bank Heist of 2025! Band Maid has a lot of songs that would make for great "getaway" music and this is certainly one of them. I too, love this album.

2025-03-23 16:46:01 +0000 UTCThere are some fan cams of the band playing Yuragu in Paris (2016). The audio is not very good, but you can see Miku, Kanami and Akane singing backup vocals.

2025-03-23 16:45:58 +0000 UTCMincho is a master of taking 8 beats and bifurcating them into unexpected pattern. That pre/post chorus is 3-3-2. She does that a lot

2025-03-23 15:42:01 +0000 UTCOn this album, at least formally credited, only has 3 songs with lyrics by The Maids (this and Alone S&N, Freedom Miku), and one with music by Band-Naid (Alone). The next album, Just Bring It, is majority Maids. Then, WD is all Maids (with a tiny bit of help)
