#16 - Don't Le Me Down - Band-Maid



Modeling thier image around Maid Cafe Hostesses in thier native Japan were Singer/guitarist Miku Kobato had worked prior to the band taking off envisioning a fusion of Rock music with the maid
image and hence the band was born. Let just be glad it wasn't a cat cafe she worked at!

Originally starting out as a four piece the band soon recruited singer Saiki Atsumi who now hands the lead vocals alongside Miku the band seeing that two singers would allow them to create a wider range of music especially with two different voice types which still perfectly complement each other when placed together.

Despite the Maid image the band favour an aggressive rock sound while the uniform is adapted to meet the personality of each member of the band. When it comes to thier fans though the guys are called "Masters", the ladies "Princesses" and concerts "Servings".

It's almost fitting that the video which sees Miku paying homage to "Run Lola Run" as they runs through the streets of Tokyo that this song is also on my gym tape and just as good when your on your own runs.
