LYRICS (English)

[Verse 1]
Peering out of the window, spin the roulette!
When I say "go", open your eyes
Dance in the palm of my hand!
Shake body, dance
Shake body, dance
Shake body, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
It's even more than I imagined
I want to feel more, delight me!
To the unfurling world, to the unknown world
Announce your arrival!

[Chorus]
You say, "No, no, no"
You know, it's not a joke
I wanna believe that
Who knows the truth?
So, keep running
Don't stop, keep running!
You see, "Hello, hello, hello"
"No, no, no"
Be silent! Follow me up!
Call out! Follow me up!
Hold fast, reach for the best
Into uncharted places with unknown things
Hеllo, hello, hello, hello

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 2]
My path is hindеred, the situation changes
Close to the edge, it's just right for me!
Hesitation is the greatest enemy
Created you, life. Created you, life
Created you. Oh no!

[Pre-Chorus]
It's on a knife edge, are you ready
To go through with it? (Don't you know)
Just that. Get a lap, get a lap, get a lap, get a lap, get a lap, get a lap
Play back, play back, play back
Just bring it!!
No, no, no, no
Bite down on the pain!
Take over the world

[Chorus]
No, no, no
You know, it's not a joke
I wanna believe that
Who knows the truth?
So, keep running
Don't stop, keep running!
You see, "Hello, hello, hello"
"No, no, no"
Be silent! Follow me up!
Call out! Follow me up!
Hold fast, reach for the best
Into uncharted places with unknown things
Hello, hello, hello, hello
[Bridge]
Raise your colors, fly the flag

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Our pulses race together
Even the shadows turn to light. Let the world spin!
We live in the present
I need to be true to myself
Announce it to the world!
Don't let me down

[Chorus]
You say "No, no, no"
You know, it's not a joke
I wanna believe that
Who knows the truth??
So, keep running
Don't stop, keep running!
You see, "Hello, hello, hello"
"No, no, no"
Be silent! Follow me up!
Call out! Follow me up!
Hold fast, reach for the best
Into uncharted places with unknown things
Hello, hello, hello, hello
[Post-Chorus]
Making the sound of tomorrows to come
Make your day. And it's not over yet
Destiny of soul! Where are you?
Even if you are far away
I'll strain to catch your faint words
Make your choice, I'll lead you on
Make it echo throughout the world
"Hello, hello, hello, hello"

Band-Maid call their outfits battle armor ! They are wearing their newest battle armor in the "Don't You Tell Me" Official Live MV ! Thanks and Welcome =)

[waynebenedict]

"An impossibly hard rocking Maid Band" Is how they list them selves! Five Japanese ladies that will rock your music world!

[Davey-Boyd]

Welcome to Band-Maid! The best hard rock band I have heard in my 58 years on this planet. They don't stick to any one genre and often mix genres in songs. They are extremely diverse and have an extensive back catalogue featuring Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard-Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, Prog, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Rap etc. From face melting 220 bpm punk-prog to ballads, instrumentals to acoustics they do it all. They are also five of the nicest people in music, without a shred of ego. They are funny and fun and bad-ass musicians to boot. They are currently into their 11th year with the original line up.

Btw, Miku the rhythm guitarist (red rose) formed the band. She had the idea of Band-Maid after working as a maid in Japanese maid cafe's. The idea is a concept called "The Gap" - that is what you see (cute maids) is NOT what you get (Hard Rock/Punk/Metal). They take the maid café concept literally. They call their concerts "servings" and their fans "Masters and Princesses". Oh, and Miku is an 810 year old small pigeon. Welcome to the pigeon hole Po!

[dazedandconfused]

Check out 'Don't You Tell Me', their newest live video from the Yokohama Arena concert last November. Although it's an older song than this one it's a bit special as you will discover. You will also see them in their newest stunning outfits.

A short intro to the band

Miku (Small Pigeon) - Rhythm Guitar, second vocals, Lyricist, Band founder
Misa (The Barefoot Assassin) - Bass, beer and whiskey
Akane (Gorilla) - Drums, Bananas or any food for that matter
Kanami (Princess, Kanamincho or Mincho) - Lead Guitar, Genius composer, coffee and cakes
Saiki (Ice Queen) - Lead Vocals, Mesmorizing stage performer

[GlennWH]

Okay, names, pronunciation, nicknames, and roles, in order that they joined the band.

Miku Kobato - mee-koo - Kuruppo, the Little Pigeon, the Little Engine Who Will  - band founder, backing (and occasionally lead) vocals, rhythm guitar, principal lyricist, tireless Spokespigeon and PR machine. Wielder of weapons grade cuteness. Poker shark and horse racing fanatic. So determined to see her band succeed that she fired herself as lead singer (she decided her voice wasn't strong enough for hard rock), then went looking for a replacement. Learned to play guitar after the band was formed. Definitely eccentric, possibly insane.

Kanami Tono - kah-nah-mee - Kanamincho or just Mincho - lead guitar, keyboards, principal composer and arranger. On stage, she's a savant mad riffer with a room temperature IQ and a huge crush on Saiki. In reality, she's a genius, and not just musically- she has a degree in economics with honors. A sweet, motherly woman who turns into a beast when you hand her a guitar.

Akane Hirose  - ah-kah-neh - A-chan, the Gorilla  - drums, sequencing, snacks, the leader the band doesn't have. What you see is what you get- a cheerful jock with a huge appetite who burns off the calories murdering her drums. Completely unflappable. Frequently snacks between songs. Has been known to sign her banana peels and throw them to the audience.

MISA  - mee-sah - the Barefoot Assassin,   MISA MISA MISA! - bass, booze, occasional wet work. Usually stone faced. Barely acknowledges the audience's existence. Always has a beer or a bottle of Jim Beam on her Orange amp. Originally, these were ways of coping with stage fright. These days, that's just how the assassin rolls.

Saiki Atsumi  - sah-ee-kee (but Psyche is close enough) - the Ice Queen,   Sensei, Sai-chan - lead vocals, some lyrics, the "We're done" girl. Fashionista and train nerd. Regards her band mates, especially Kanami and Miku, with bemused exasperation. In total command on stage; hides behind Miku off stage (she's actually kind of shy).

[jeremydawkins]

What's to follow this? Be aware that it just gets better. Ten years 120 plus songs 5 Maids and a desire to see more and more. Welcome to BAND-MAID.

[Jonas_S_]

"What are we going to do today Miku?"
"Same thing we do every day Saiki. Try to take over the world... bwahahahahaha....!"

[glenkelley]

Great reaction and the maid outfits create a "Gap" between what you see and what you hear. Thanks for reacting to them, you won't be disappointed. Their image is always as maid and the design is changed when one set is worn out (every couple of years). They just changed design this past Nov. 2023 when they performed their last concert of their 10th Anniversary tour. Also, most of their newer MVs have CC.

[jakeimhotep]

Welcome to the world of BAND-MAID, my absolute favourite band. Continue down the "pigeon hole" - you won't regret it. 🤘✌

One of the most refreshing thing about them is how they're like best friends and highly entertaining off stage as well. They could easily have their on TV variety show.
