I felt like a teenager again💜|BAND-MAID, Before Yesterday

I wanted that nostalgic feeling everyone else has for BAND-MAID. I left with childhood nostalgia!

I know this song wasn't composed by our Kanami, but there is something about the way the song is written that brought me back to my complicated yet simpler teenage years. Also, this is another video proving that these ladies can aim to do any genre justice! What's next?

What I've always liked about Band-Maid is it feels like they have 40 years of Music history in their 11 years as a band.

[Retec]

To me, this song is the distillation of the emotion/feeling of Nostalgia.

Something about MISA in a Letterman jacket just seems so perfect for her PunkGirl look.

8 measures for a Kanami solo is not unusual. She always manages to say a lot in a short time

[milroyfilpott]

I WAS THERE! I'm in the video, in the crowd, basically at Saiki's feet. Just for a blink. My son and I. Sakuracon, Seattle March 2016. God, what memories. Meet n greet, autographed swag, a Miku hug 😍and I'm pretty sure this concert was the live debut of both this song and Alone. Don't quote me on that. You say this song feels nostalgic? Sister, it sure as heck does.❤️

[BillHallisey]

I love that Kanami can take any guitar riff, change the notes a bit, compose around it and make the sound her own. That musical adaptability sets her apart from many rock composers.

Band Maid has always had a way of taking everyone who hears their music back to your younger years. I believe it has to do with how old you are. Their music covers so many rock genres and styles that everyone will hear something to remind them of that time. For me they bring back all the great bands of the seventies with just a fresh, new take on it. For others it reminds them of a different time. They are just a force of nature.

Oh, you caught it! Don Henley, yes! ⚾🧢

from JAPAN.　　BAND-MAID has many great songs that have been buried because of the lack of music videos, regardless of whether the albums are old or new.　I hope you will discover many of those songs and react to them.　Even with outsourced compositions, the girls can crunch and arrange the music the way they want to, so any song sounds like BAND-MAID.　I don't know any other band that has such a high quality of music all the time.　I enjoyed listening to the program. Thank you so much.

Love the record store scene!
That’s the part the takes me back to my youth. When you would go to the records store before going to the arcade room.
Flipping thru records until you found a new artist or an old gem and you yelled at your friends about it!
The flower scene they did relived again when they came back for their US tour in 2022. Akane and Saiki talk about the flower store was the same. They really got hooked on the nostalgic of revisiting past venues and places.
My Sunday Nittpicc is fulfilled…thanks
🤘🕊️🦍🥷👸🏻👀PO!

I'm an older guy who has seen the infancy and growth of some great bands since the late 70's. I do so regret not coming across the Maids until their 9th year (late 2022). It's bad enough I didn't have them in my life during that shitty year of 2020, but I wish I had been there at the beginning. It blows me away that they feel like they started in the late 90's, with so many great songs, but did it in only 10 years. This song gives me nostalgic feelings that feel 30 years in the making, but it's only been 2 years since I first heard this song. It sucks that I wasn't able to experience their noticeable improvement and evolution in real-time. IMO Miku's improvement on the guitar has a lot to do with where they are now. So, with that said, I'm hoping I get to experience what I missed out on 10 years ago with these insanely talented bands coming out of Japan. I got my eyes on you NEK!.... can't believe they're still in high school. 🤘

It is indeed palm muting, my fav technique. It's called palm muting, but that's a bit of a misnomer. You use the heel of your hand on the strings at the bridge and control how much muting by sort of rolling your hand forward or back and by changing the pressure. You can get a heck of a lot of expression using this. (This song not written or arranged by them)

"Before yesterday, how did I continue living until now ?"

[violence_yakitori]

i am japanese
Also during the last “Start Over”
I made a comment.
GOOD reaction
thank you very much.
“Before yesterday” is
Japanese rock band GARNET CROW
Composed by HITOSHI OKAMOTO.
MIKU's solo song "TIME" was also composed by the same person.
SAIKI said in an interview at the time.
This is my favorite song, and I like it because it's very emotional. She said it's emotional, which isn't really my sensibility.

The interviewer
How do you put your emotions into it when you sing about a feeling that you don't have? When I asked
Objectively, I feel like I'm singing while looking at the characters in the lyrics.
The answer is that I objectively view myself singing.

[chakouyang]

Band maid was always great even back then

[cactustactics]

That kinda home movie documentary video style is really nostalgic too - I think you can always get that feeling even if you discover a band later! You just need to experience it

And yeah that's palm muting at the beginning - it's two guitars, one chugging the low power chords and one playing choked higher notes, but they're both muted the same way. Stick the edge/palm of your picking hand on the strings near the bridge, and you can control the attack and release of the notes depending on how much pressure you use and how close you are to the bridge itself. It's the main way to mute played notes on a guitar, so if you hear it that's probably what it is!

This was the 1st time BAND-MAID played in the U.S. it was March 2016 in Seattle Wa, they were at the Sakura-Con festival, this was the biggest audience that they played in front of up to that time, and I understand the MISA MISA MISA chant started there, the scene`s are of them going around Seattle .

[JuanSan]

The oldest song written for them with a more recent arrangement is Forward. There is a huge gap between the Maid in Japan version and the one they played at Yokohama Arena.

[russellpotter]

One of the first songs and videos of Band Maid along with Rinne that made my heart leap for joy. I had found a band that reminded me of the great days of music that I could just sit back and listen and lose myself. I listen to the old albums on CD every day. I love the new Maid as well but never forget the library of great music they have.
