BAND-MAID

BAND-MAID (バンドメイド) is an all-girl J-rock band formed in July 2013.

The group's concept is inspired by maids from Japanese anime. They keep up a maid image in public by dressing in maid outfits, calling live shows 'services', and addressing audiences as 'sir' and 'madam'.

History

 * The group was idealized and created by Kobato Miku, who has worked previously in maid cafes in Akihabara and decided to merge the maid aesthetic with cool rock music.
 * Kanami was the first to be scouted into the band. She was a solo artist before the band's formation. Kanami invited her then backup Drummer, Akane, to join the band. Lastly, Akane invited bassist MISA, who was at the same music school as her. The band's YouTube channel was handled by Kanami.
 * In August 2013, Miku decided to add another vocalist and chose Saiki.
