"BAND-MAID" is...
A rock band that dresses up in maid clothing, refers to their lives as "service" and fans as "masters" and "princesses". Their twin-vocal combination reminds of "shadow" and "light", and their skillful and powerful instrument team backs the two vocalists up with passionate hard rock sound. They are still a young band with a history of only 3 years, but despite that they have already played at big venues such as SHIBUYA-AX and Zepp Tokyo, Momoiro Clover Z's Event "AGO FES", "OTODAMA", "Niku ROCK Festival", and performed together with artists like Silent Siren, ORESKABAND, HEAD PHONES PRESIDENT, and many more.

They charm the listeners with their music that is the complete opposite of their looks, and their music video "Thrill" was played over 2,000,000 times within only 2 weeks after it was uploaded on Facebook. The video is being with a pace of 7,000 views per day on YouTube, and it has already topped reached 2,000,000 views on YouTube.

BAND-MAID also has passionate masters and princesses overseas (especially America, Canada, Mexico), and they held their first overseas service in Seattle, America in SAKURA-CON in March 2016.
