This Is Why Band-Maid Are Different | Band-Maiko Gion-Chō Reaction
Comments (5)
There are some behind the scenes videos of this, and at some point, Kanami drops her guitar pick, and can’t bend down enough to pick it up. They work so hard, but somehow manage not to take themselves too seriously. It’s a wonderful thing.
Nice to meet you. I always enjoy looking at your works. I am Japanese and I would like to explain the lyrics used in this song. (I always try to comment on Band-Maiko's reactions with this explanation, so I know some of the viewers who read this comment section have already read it somewhere else, but I'll post it here as well.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In all the songs of BAND-MAIKO, Saiki uses the word called "京ことば Kyo-kotoba (Kyoto dialect)". The Kyo-kotoba has many special phrases that are different from the so-called "Kansai-ben (Kansai region dialect. Kyoto is included in the Kansai region)", and even if you are from Kyoto, it is not a word that ordinary people other than maiko and geisha use on a daily basis. Many maiko are not from Kyoto, but when working as a maiko in Kyoto, it is not desirable to use the dialect of the region in which they were born and raised. Therefore, the training content of Maiko includes the acquisition of this Kyo-kotoba. The Kyo-kotoba is, so to speak, a "common language" for maiko and geisha. ※ "Maiko (Pronunciation is my-ko)" means a person in the apprenticeship stage of Geiko (Geisha). The Japanese instrumental sounds used are 三味線 Shamisen A Shamisen is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument derived from the Chinese instrument sanxian. It is played with a plectrum called a Bachi. 琴 Koto Japanese stringed instrument that resembles a zither; has a rectangular wooden sounding board and usually 13 silk strings that are plucked with the fingers. 和太鼓 Wadaiko Japanese drums. 鼓 Tsuzumi Japanese hand drum. 篠笛 Shinobue A traditional Japanese woodwind instrument, that is a simple bamboo cross flute made of thin bamboo called shinodake with a hole for blowing into and a finger hole in the mouth. 尺八 Shakuhachi A shakuhach is a Japanese longitudinal, end-blown flute that is made of bamboo. However, in fact, the actual instruments are not used, but rather the composer/guitarist KANAMI typed the sounds of the Japanese traditional instruments.
"That's MISA". No, that's actually UMEMISA ;) hehe
MISA and Kanami like their slides/glissandos
Nothing to complete about your comments. Different but so beautiful. And this time (while I'm sometimes a little crucial) I am completly in love with Saiki's voice. My status grows from one who likes this band to a real fan, as more as I hear from this spectacular band. 🦊🦊🦊 For The Fox-God 🦊🦊🦊
