I am no drummer. But I always enjoy Akane's drumming. She always supports the track and unless needed never drowns or over does the sound that can sometimes be a problem.  After decades of listening to music. I would place her up there with my favourites.

What is Justice? That every rocker worldwide gets to watch at least three Band-Maid OMV’s (especially OLV’s), and/or attended a live performance! 🤘🎀🤘Thx, D-Nerd!

If you want to see the drums there's an OMV for this song.

Laurence Olivier once said  "A good actor makes a lot of decisions.  A great actor makes the right ones." I think the same applies to drummer/composers.  Akane makes decisions that few make. She is simply irreplaceable.  Band Maid is populated with 4 other such talents. They all agree that if one leaves,they are no longer Band Maid...🤯❤️

Thanks for the reaction, always enjoy your breakdown of Akane’s drumming even if you can’t see her. The live version of Ready to Rock is amazing. Take care and God bless.

Akane Hirose = The happiest drummer on the planet!

I was going to make some Band-Maid song suggestions until I looked at what you have already posted.  I guess I need to go through them and see what I missed.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Please search for and watch her live video. You can see her smiling and enjoying playing the drums.
