BAND-MAID | WHAT IS JUSTICE? | FIRST TIME REACTION

​ @BANDMAID is a Japanese all-female rock band formed in 2013, known for blending the contrasting elements of maid café aesthetics with hard-hitting rock music. The band consists of five members:​

Saiki Atsumi – lead vocals
Miku Kobato – rhythm guitar and vocals
Kanami Tōno – lead guitar
Misa – bass
Akane Hirose – drums​

The concept was initiated by Miku Kobato, who previously worked at a maid café in Akihabara. She envisioned a band that juxtaposed the "cute" (kawaii) appearance of maids with the "cool" (kakkoii) sound of rock music. This unique combination has become their signature style, attracting fans both in Japan and internationally. ​
BAND-MAID refers to their concerts as "servings," their male fans as "masters," and female fans as "princesses," embracing the maid café theme. Their performances often include a segment called "Omajinai Time," led by Miku Kobato, featuring playful interactions with the audience. ​

Musically, BAND-MAID delivers a powerful rock sound characterized by shredding guitars, pounding drums, and catchy hooks. Their discography includes several albums, with their latest studio album, Epic Narratives, released in September 2024. ​

The band has gained international recognition, performing at various global events and festivals. They made their overseas debut at Sakura-Con in Seattle in 2016 and have since toured extensively, including performances in Europe and the United States.
