I read from a few members posting in the Discord that we can look forward to tour dates this upcoming week!

Patience has always been kind to me, but man! I can't wait now!

Fingers crossed that there are a decent amount of dates for the US tour. I thought they would only be in the US for one day for some reason.

Also...DAYDREAMING with SAIKI-chan on PIANO!!!!💘

Pretty sure this was the first time they played daydreaming acoustic and it stole the show for me ..saiki on piano adds so much to already beautiful song

Good question: ‘Did anyone try to go to this concert (acoustic Okyuji). I tried until the last minute but you know to go Okyuji in Japan we need to apply for lottery ticket. But with very low ticket numbers really hard to win one. I personally really like lottery ticket system (seem like pretty fair for everyone) and 1 person only 2 tickets allowed but I also find it really pain in the ass when I did not win ticket😅.

What I find utterly charming about the end of this okyuji is that Saiki is usually the first one to leave the stage. But here, she was so proud of being part of the band that she hung out on stage until she was the last to leave. Fantastic performance throughout, wonderful arrangements, I can't image what it's like to see them perform an acoustic show. Using romaji to be able to sing the song sounds just fine to me. If I had to guess, I would say that Miku and Saiki have probably (initially at least) written out the English parts of the lyrics in katakana. I know they can read English writing, but it just makes sense to me to use the writing system you know the best, especially if you're nervous about getting it right.

Acoustic Band-Maid is a sweet reward from our Maids!

Love that we get Kanami and MISA singing quite a bit during this show!

The genius of Kanami cannot be overstated!

Singing in Romaji is the only way to even begin to try to do it in Japanese music. It takes some time to get the hang of the pronunciation (and it's easier if you're starting from a language like Spanish, in my case, where the vowels are five fixed and stable sounds, just like in Japanese), but you can do it (at least enough to belt it out in the shower, lol). BTW: they're becoming one of the best acoustic rock bands; they could give Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young a run for their money.

rōmaji should be fine. The most common system (Hepburn) was invented by Americans and is described as English consonants with Italian vowels. There are some tweaks, such as the Japanese R is more like the Spanish R rather than the English R. I think the real problem is that the rhythm of Japanese doesn't fit Rock. So they use various tricks like dropping part of a word. t-shinji documented all of the tricks on Reddit (2018) and Miku is remarkable for using all of them. (Her lyric writing is under-appreciated, Kanami is not the only genius.) So the published lyrics maybe in correct Japanese rather than the adapted form, that is actually sung. But I might be borrowing trouble, the lyrics to Daydreaming maybe fine.

I didn't see it coming, and yet it was basically obvious that my #1 from B-M could only be outdone by itself. 😅 All I can say is, “Thank you, Saiki, for starting to play the piano, making performances like this even more special".

The more muted sound of Akane's set here vs. her regular drum sound is achieved via a combination of stick and drumhead choice. Her normal sticks have a small tip that focuses the energy of the stroke on a small area producing a sharp short attack. The rods are a bundle of sticks made of a softer wood and this spreads the force of the stroke out on a larger area producing softer muted sound. The clear heads on her main kit produce a bright clear tone while the coated heads on the acoustic okyuji kit have a slightly darker and muted tone. With both kits the heads have gels (the yellow dot at the edge of the head you see in the paused frame) as needed to control overtones.
