BandMaid

Recommended Posts

So this video is being passed around my Facebook feed by a bunch of friends.

 

 

Now, knowing Japan's penchant for contrivances (AKB48, Babymetal) and the whole maid cafe obsession, I initially dismissed it. Now I'm not so sure. For starters the song is really fucking good, so I want it to be real.

 

So does anyone know if these girls are a genuine band, formed by the members and writing their own songs, or if they are an agency creation?

All their music seems to be credited to composer Akutsu Kentaro, so I don't think they are a 'real' band. Their record company also looks like it takes regular auditions... I'm betting this is an fringe idol group. Apparently this composer also writes for PASSPO☆.

Well as seems to be pointed out, their roots are with a talent agency and their songs may be composed by someone else (thanks for finding that out by the way, I wasn't aware.)

This being said, I had the pleasure of seeing them perform live in May and I can say without a doubt I would not for a second doubt that they are a "real" band. They can certainly perform the music extremely well.
