BAND-MAID, the world’s most popular girls’ band, performed at “Lollapalooza” in the U.S. in 2023 as the first Japanese band in about 13 years.
On June 12, BAND-MAID held a special performance at EX Theater Roppongi in Tokyo with a very popular Mexican band, The Warning.
The Warning is a three-sister band from Monterrey, Mexico’s third largest city, that has attracted hard rock fans since the release of their “Mayday EP” in 2021, and has garnered attention with over 86 million views on YouTube.
This special performance was made happen after the band members, who were originally fans of BAND-MAID, met backstage at the “AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL” to be held in the United States in 2022. A collaboration song, BAND-MAID with The Warning “SHOW THEM,” was also produced for this performance.
And at the end of the performance, they made a surprise performance together for the first time.
It was a very special night for fans of both bands.
BAND-MAID, the world’s most popular girl band, has announced a special performance with The Warning, a very popular Mexican band of three sisters.
The Warning is a hard rock band that has attracted hard rock fans immediately after the release of their “Mayday EP” in 2021, and has garnered attention from around the world with over 86 million views on YouTube. The members of the band were originally fans of BAND-MAID, and when they performed on the same day at the “Aftershock Festival” in 2022, they met BAND-MAID backstage, which led to a dream collaboration with BAND-MAID.
As this will be The Warning’s first show in Japan, the special performance with BAND-MAID is expected to be a hard-fought battle for tickets.
The new song “Bestie” was co-written with Mike Einziger (Gt) of the American alternative band Incubus, which has sold over 23 million albums worldwide. It was announced in advance that the song co-written with Mike would be performed live for the first time on the same day as Incubus, but to the surprise of the audience, Mike joined BAND-MAID on stage. The audience was very excited to see them.
At 24:00 on the same day, the music video of “Bestie” was released on BAND-MAID’s official channel, which has been viewed more than 200 million times. Since the song was co-written with Mike, this was the first music video in which he was dressed in an outfit other than a maid’s uniform. The soft off-white outfit was produced by SAIKI (Vo.) and matches the image of the song. The gap between the usual maid’s uniform and the music video was a fresh change.
As soon as the video was distributed, it became a trending topic on X and became a hot topic. The archive is now available for viewing, and official tickets for the BAND-MAID Hall Tour and other events are being sold in advance by lottery, so check the official website for details on how to purchase tickets.
BAND-MAID continues to perform with world-class artists, including a special performance with Mexico’s popular three-sister band The Warning, so keep an eye out for them!
