Band-Maid, stylized as BAND-MAID and formerly as BAND-MAID®, is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013. The band combines a rock sound with a maid image modeled on Japanese maid cafés.[6] Originally signed to Gump Records (an imprint of the Platinum Passport artist management and talent agency, itself a division of Avex Group), they switched to major label Nippon Crown's sub-label Crown Stones in 2016 and later moved to new sub-label Revolver Records in 2019.

History[edit]
The band, first known as BAND-MAID®, formed in July 2013. Singer/guitarist Miku Kobato, formerly an employee of a Japanese maid café, envisioned forming a band that juxtaposed the maid image with rock music. Kobato recruited lead guitarist Kanami Tōno after an Internet search. Tōno had performed as a singer-songwriter and suggested her occasional backing drummer Akane Hirose for the new band. Hirose in turn suggested bassist Misa, with whom she had attended music school.[7] On July 24, 2013 they had their first live performance at the PP Audition held at Osaka Deep, as a quartet with Kobato on vocals.[8] The band then decided to add an additional lead singer and selected Saiki Atsumi during auditions.[9] Their first performance as a five-piece was at the P Festival at Shibuya-AX on August 22, 2013.[8]
Since their formation, Band-Maid has regularly performed live at various venues around the Tokyo area.[10] The group released their debut mini-album Maid in Japan in January 2014, written in collaboration with musicians Masahiko Fukui[11] and Kentaro Akutsu[12] (the latter formerly of the musical group Zero). In August 2014, they released the maxi-single 'Ai to Jōnetsu no Matador' (titled 'Love, Passion, Matador' internationally). In November 2015 they released their sophomore mini-album New Beginning.[13] The album was their first chart placement, reaching #64 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart.[14] The band undertook a tour of Tokyo venues to promote the album through February 2016, culminating in a sold-out concert on February 14.[15] In March 2016 they had their first overseas performance at Sakura-Con in Seattle, Washington.[6][16] The group released their third mini-album and major label debut, Brand New Maid, in May 2016 on the Nippon Crown sub-label Crown Stones.[17] That album reached #19 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart.[18] In October and November 2016, they went on their first world tour that took them to Mexico, Hong Kong, and six countries in Europe.[19][20][21][22]
In January 2017, Band-Maid released their first full-length album titled Just Bring It. It was preceded by the single 'YOLO,' released in November 2016. Just Bring It reached #16 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart.[23] Band-Maid appeared at the 2017 Golden Melody Awards and festival in Taiwan on June 23–24.[24][25] The maxi-single 'Daydreaming/Choose Me' was released in July 2017.[26] They covered 'Honey' for the November 2017 Mucc tribute album Tribute of Mucc -En-.[27]
The band released their second full-length album titled World Domination on February 14, 2018.[28][29]World Domination reached #9 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart.[30] Also on February 14, 2018, they reissued their 2014 debut album Maid in Japan with two bonus tracks.[31][32] While the original release of that album did not chart, the reissued version reached #26 on the Japanese Oricon weekly albums chart.[33] On April 1, 2018, they performed at Warped Tour at Makuhari Messe[34] as the first date on a world tour.
The maxi-single 'Start Over' was released on July 25, 2018.[35] The CD singles 'Glory' and 'Bubble' were released simultaneously on January 16, 2019.[36] Under the name Band-Maiko and adopting a maiko image, the band released an EP titled Band-Maiko on April 3, 2019, which adapted several previous Band-Maid songs with traditional Japanese musical instruments and lyrics in the Kyoto dialect.[37] In April 2019, the band announced a tour of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States in partnership with Live Nation Entertainment.[38][39][40]
Image and music[edit]
Band-Maid's image is modeled on maid café hostesses, with the standard uniform adapted to match each member's personality.[7] In interviews, they explained the concept came from founding member Miku Kobato who had previously worked at a maid cafe in Akihabara.[9] This theme is reinforced by the band, who refer to their male fans as 'masters,' their female fans as 'princesses,' and their concerts as 'servings.'[41] The band's 'submissive' maid appearance is meant to contrast with their aggressive rock style.[7][42] They decided to have two vocalists in order to allow a larger variety of music with two different voice types.[9]
Kobato draws inspiration from Japanese enka music; she attended a vocal school around 2012, but started playing guitar with the formation of Band-Maid the following year.[43] Atsumi started singing when she was 14 and Band-Maid is her first band. Tōno is a big fan of Carlos Santana, has played classical piano since she was a child, and began playing guitar when she joined her high school band club. Hirose is a fan of Deep Purple and Maximum the Hormone, particularly the latter's female drummer Nao Kawakita, and also plays trombone and piano. Misa likes The Smashing Pumpkins and Jimi Hendrix; she started playing piano at around 3 or 4 years of age, and also plays trumpet, alto horn, and guitar.[41][7][9]
Related acts[edit]
Akane Hirose and Kanami Tōno also perform as guest members of the acoustic group Mochi to Cheeze (もちとちーず) (roughly translated as 'Rice Cake and Cheese'), a sub-unit of the Platinum Passport group Predia.
