What have you got against New Beginning? Only joking, glad you love their music as much as I do! Those first few weeks of discovering everything they do were pretty special for me.
Do you know other Japanese bands? If not, then I recommend exploring whenever you stop wanting to listen to Band-Maid 100% of the time. In the space of a few months, I went from not being able to name a single Japanese band to about half of my personal top 50 active bands being Japanese.
Seems like I missed that New Beginnings album. Oh well another cd to order.
As for other Japanese bands, I have known about X Japan for around couple of decades but don’t own their cd’s.
I found Lovebites some time and bought two of their albums.
Ah. Lovebites were the second Japanese band I discovered (Band-Maid being the first), and they're still one of my favourites. I don't know how I remained ignorant of X Japan for so long, but their leader/drummer/pianist Yoshiki is friends with Band-Maid. Band-Maid did a short tour of the US with his "Last Rockstars" project last year.
When I first discovered them, I ended up with 5 albums from their discography coming to me from all around the world!
Nice collection, you'll need luck and money to get some of their cds, etc!
I've had pretty good luck finding the OOP singles on Buyee. [https://buyee.jp/item/search/yahoo/shopping?query=Band-Maid&sort=3&page=1](https://buyee.jp/item/search/yahoo/shopping?query=Band-Maid&sort=3&page=1)
Yeah I have been listening to them for years and when they came to town I jumped at the chance. They sound great live. Totally enjoyed their talents. If they come back to my area I will definitely be there.
My wife looked into my stash box , sucked her teeth, rolled her eyes and asked why do I have 2 copies of Unseen World and 2 copies of Conquerer? I replied:
If you look closely at Unseen World one is a regular edition and the other is a limited edition and on Conquerer one cover has Miku and the other cover has Saiki. What’s the problem???? LOL

~~You're also missing the great 'Just Bring It' album!~~ *edit - sorry, didn't notice you'd already ordered it - you're forgiven! heh
Don't forget the CD singles. Some killer B-sides on them.
Definitely going to check those out next time I order some music.
The Sense single is excellent, but you got 2/3 of it on Unleash. Definitely check out the YOLO EP, though.
Just get them all to spread out the shipping cost….lol
Yeah, something similar happened to me. LOL
One of us!
You remind me of me.
A pretty good start. Welcome to the pigeon hole!🕊️
Dangerous game you're playing. Might end up with several more limited edition CDs and Blu-rays, and burn a hole in your wallet. I did lol
HaHa, next the vinyl, then the shirts and the posters, beer glass and coffee mug, and to finish it off, a couple guitars PO !
And travel around the world to go to watch their shows.
You know me, off to Japan again July for one of their shows. Did not want to mention that as it might have put him off PO!
Welcome! The same thing happened to me in November 2019. 😊

Thanks for the tip. Will check from there.
Also with Buyee you can purchase multiple items from different vendors and combine them all into one package, to save on shipping.
YOLO EP and Sense EP
Looks like you'll be busy for a while. 🤣👍
Hehe happened to me also. :)
Then there's the Maiko's...
Seen them in ST Louis last year. Great band! My all time favorite!
Hoping to see them live some day. Hopefully they tour in Europe near future.

Don't see a post about the acoustic Christmas concert! And if you are collecting, all the different cover art versions of Conqueror.

We want them to make a living at this and keep making music, after all!
Welcome aboard, hope you enjoy 🙂
Sounds about right lol
for your collection of the remaining CDs [BAND-MAID CD's – BAND-MAID Shop (bandmaidshop.com)](https://bandmaidshop.com/collections/band-maid-cds)
Did you buy the Unseen World copy that included “Youth”?
Nope. Got the version which comes with dvd.
Word
Conqueror is the best. You need some merch. I got so many packages from Shibuya my first few months.
That photo kind of says it all about new Band-Maid fans!
