BAND-MAID has announced that they are looking for videos of the intro to the opening theme song “Ready to Rock” of the TV anime “Rock is a Lady’s Favorite”!
“Rock is a Lady’s Fancy” is a popular anime this season, with attention being focused on the impressive performance scenes, and has been trending every episode from the first episode. BAND-MAID not only serves as the opening theme song, but also acts as motion capture actors for each character in the anime, and scenes of performances of real instrumental rock bands such as LITE’s “Ghost Dance” and mudy on the last night’s “YOUTH” have become a hot topic. Furthermore, BAND-MAID members KANAMI (Gt) and AKANE (Dr) post videos they have actually covered and recorded a million buzz, making it a rare example of the movement of collaboration between real bands and anime.
This time, the challenge song I played, “Ready to Rock,” is a highly difficult hard rock number that fully demonstrates the outstanding play skills of each member of BAND-MAID. On April 27th, when he appeared at ARABAKI ROCK FEST.25, the largest music festival in the Tohoku region, and as soon as it was first performed as a surprise, the advanced play was filled with rave reviews and praises on social media.
A model video by KANAMI himself has also been released, so be sure to check it out.

■KANAMI Comments
Thank you for listening to the opening theme of the TV anime “Rock is a Lady’s Fancy”!
This guitar riff is so great! It’s a great thing to play, so I hope you give it a try ♡ If you put on #RtR #Rocklady, I’ll come and check it out ♡
■ KANAMI’s advice on playing techniques
My advice on how to play is to start with the index finger on the 2nd floor of the 4th string and use a lot of open strings on the 4th string, so I think it would be easier to play if you could copy the fingering!
The final phrase will be a phrase that will allow you to hold the 1st and 2nd strings and climb to the 14th floor while keeping your fingers fixed!
This will make a unique, connected sound ♡ If it’s difficult, I think it’ll be easier to play by using your index finger, middle finger, or ring finger ♡
Please give it a try! Ahhh! I’m excited, wondering if someone will do it! !
They will check out the videos that KANAMI himself has played, and will feature any videos that interest him on KANAMI’s own social media, so I hope they will post a lot of them. The posting period is from today, May 1st to May 31st. When posting a video, share it on social media with the hashtag “#RtR tried playing #Rocklady”.
