The world-famous all-girl band BAND-MAID has released a live performance video on YouTube of their unreleased song “Magie” from their original full album “Epic Narratives,” which will be released on September 25th.
The new song “Magie” was performed not only at the “BAND-MAID HALL TOUR 2024” which recently concluded, but also at the 10th anniversary tour that toured North America and Japan last year. It is a popular song that has become a standard new song that can only be heard at the service, but the video released this time is from the “THE DAY OF MAID” performance held at Zepp Haneda in Tokyo on May 10th. Of the three types of CD that will be released at the same time as the new album distribution, the video is a pre-release of the footage recorded on the Blu-ray and DVD included with the limited production edition and first production limited edition. Since the tickets for the performance were sold out in one day and became platinum tickets, the pre-release was a surprise present for the masters and ladies (the name for fans) ahead of the album release.
In addition, as an early reservation bonus for the new album, a CD containing the opening sound effect song “Seasoned” from HALL TOUR 2024, as well as seven original bonuses for each shop will be available, and as always, there will be a lot of bonuses, so be sure to check the official website and SNS for details.
In the summer of 2024, BAND-MAID will be performing at many festivals, including “OSAKA GIGANTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL 2024,” “RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2024,” and “SUMMER SONIC 2024,” as well as a special edition of Oyatsu and a solo performance at ZEPP TOUR. The fastest advance ticket lottery is currently open for Omeishusama (fan club), so be sure to check it out. Keep an eye on the active BAND-MAID!

profile
The world-famous girl band, whose US tour attracted over 20,000 people, has received support from fans and media around the world for their hard rock sound, which is in contrast to their appearance, and has been viewed more than 200 million times on YouTube. Reaction videos from fans around the world are also being released one after another on YouTube, and have been viewed more than 40 million times. They are also supported by rock and metal fans around the world, and their US tour in 2022 attracted more than 20,000 people, making them the most popular girl band overseas. To date, they have been rocking the stages of large festivals in Japan and conducting world tours almost every year. To date, they have toured the US, the UK, and Europe, and each performance has sold out.
In 2019, she announced a tour partnership with Live Nation, one of the world’s largest event organizers, and released the album “Conqueror,” produced by rock legend Tony Visconti. In 2020, she announced an alliance with United Talent Agency as a development partner in the United States. She released the album “Unseen World” and made her Hollywood debut in 2021 in the Netflix movie “Kate.”
In 2022, they will hold a US tour with over 20,000 attendees, and will be performing in Japan as part of Guns N’ Roses, with all venues being sold out.
In 2023, they will hold a 10th anniversary tour around the world, performing at four large overseas festivals including the world’s largest festival “Lollapalooza”. As the tour finale, they successfully held a solo performance at Yokohama Arena, concluding their 10th anniversary.
2024 is the “beginning of a new chapter,” and on September 25th, they will release their first full album in three and a half years. The full album will include 14 songs, including “Shambles” (the ending theme for the anime “Kengan Ashura” Season 2), “Bestie” (a song co-written with Michael Aaron Einziger (Gt) of “Incubus,” known as the composer of Avicii’s “Wake me up”), “Protect You” (the ending theme for the TV anime “Grendizer U”), and “SHOW THEM,” a collaboration with the world-famous Mexican three-piece girl band “The Warning.” With this long-awaited full album, they are continuing to make great strides toward their goal of “world domination.”
