Her kick drumming is insane, it sounds like machine gun fire. When you impress Jimmy Page, you are a kick ass drummer who (like the rest of the band) has the passion and drive to succeed. We love our human Gorilla 😁

In honor of Akane, I wore an Asuka T-shirt to the concert at the Neptune. The red color of her signature drum kit is based on her figurine of Asuka (Neon Genesis Evangelion), unfortunately, she had a blue rental drum kit for the show.

Akane is phenomenal. She is absolutely the best drummer, an outstanding musician, and an inspiration. Her joy doing what she does shows in her wonderful smile.

Akane, my favorite B-M member (not surprising at all for discord folks) and without a doubt my favorite drummer ever. It's so great to watch this documentary and see how much she has grown as a musician and as a person, truly inspirational

[Newwaver]

“She just smiles and plays the impossible”

I like that quote 🤗

Saw August Hall concert on the 14th of Oct! Now very much a Maidiac now!

[はるとも-dy]

素晴らしいの一言に尽きますね！
貴方の動画はいつも私の期待以上です。
感謝します😊

[WavePotter]

Beautiful job on this video Ohrenje, Kasper and everyone else involved! ☺ I hope Akane and all of them eventually get the large scale recognition they deserve!

Akane today is the best drummer 🥁 in the world 🌎 with the best band in the world 🌎 Band-Maid! Love this thank you for sharing this vid 😎😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Before the videos of the ladies, they should actually show a warning saying 'CAUTION: HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS', because that's what it is. I don't know how many times I caught myself grinning after seeing Akane smile. Even at moments when I didn't feel like it at all. There aren't many people who can do that to me almost every time. And the fact that she's non-stop, taking on one challenge after another, and making the result of it look so effortless, I find deeply impressive and inspiring. ✨

i call her the happiest drummer alive. she puts seasoned drummer to shame, not only with how effortless she makes everything she does look, but by how much fun she clearly has doing it. so very few drummers will be smiling through a performance the way she does, they're usually grimacing and straining. if Akane is struggling, she is never going to let you know it lol i love her energy

[exDemonius]

Thank you so much for the Akane video. It was very educational.
Who would have thought that she was alone in the school circle! And the fact that she found the strength to continue is something incredible! I admire her! Like the rest of the BAND-MAID members.
Thank you for finding and adding special guests to the video - it's so cool! And a special thanks for all the old videos of Akane's performances.
And of course many thanks to Casper Michaels for voicing the video.
It was a great video!

I gained a whole new apprieciation for Akane at Aftershock in Oct. She was doing her sound check and the crowd would cheer. Each time, she would do a little more and the cheers grew. She almost went into a full drum solo before the performace started!

[JWPanimation]

And then you have Black Hole. I'd like to add that the rhythm of Akane's bass drums combined with Misa's growling, funky bass guitar, gives Band Maid their weight and power. It's a huge part of their sound and the pair complements each other perfectly. The spirits of John Bonham and Chris Squire live on in Band Maid and are smiling down on these extremely talented ladies.

[maidthehormone]

If you finish all the parts, you can really make a complete documentary for tv and cinema when the first Band-Maid anime comes out.🥳😁

[wepprop]

For what little it's worth, it was Akane's drumming on the live version of "Onset" that hooked me on Band-Maid. I hadn't heard drumming that distinctive since Bonham passed. That made me pay close attention to the rest of the band who also proved to be extremely talented. Thank God for Band-Maid

[AdamElteto]

Considering the impressive lineup of Japanese drummers, nobody thinks female drummers can only play "soft"... Akane is definitely a favorite.

[uffdad]

Wow! What a great documentary about one of the very top tier drummers playing today. Akane's skill set is unbelievable and the way she is able to seamlessly integrate her drumming to expertly serve the song is nothing short of breathtaking. She makes it all look so deceptively easy and fluid that there can be a tendency to forget just how amazingly well she performs with the rest of her outstanding bandmates on stage. But listening to Akane's intricate patterns and expression of emotion while augmenting the other band members instruments reveals a true joyous master at work.

[npmushead]

Bravo! Please don't delete this video ever🙏
Thank you for the wonderful introduction to AKANE.
I'm not a musician, but I was captivated by the feeling that "She sounds different."
Every time I read their interview articles, AKANE mentions the sound quality and technique of the drums every time, so I feel that "She is a serious hard worker."
I can't help but respect her💕

[philipcable]

Officially the most cheerful drummer in the world.
Anyone who can use disco and jazz style drumming in a hard rock song of three to four minutes like Akane does and have it sound like she does, is not just a drummer.
Even the other members say that they noticed her evolution over the pandemic period where she basically re-taught herself to increase her speed, power and efficiency.
Like all the other members she is a favourite of mine.
