Wakusei Kaikaku - Japanese Iron Maiden Tribute Band

[A7]

I was checking out other Iron Maiden tribute bands on YouTube, and I found this one from Japan:

You Tube

惑星改革 (Wakusei Kaikaku)
"Tyranny" as Bruce Dickinson
"Atcho" as Steve Harris
"Camus" as Nicko McBrain
"Ken" as Dave Murray
"Taisa" as Adrian Smith

You gotta give them props, as they are Japanese, and they're one of a few with a female lead vocalist. Aja will still kick her ass, though.

This is god awful!

But way better than the crap I had to listen to in Chinese bars though when I lived there. I tried to start a band in China. It was going ok then one day the bassist went completely MIA and never heard from him again.

Where in China were you?

I was in Shanghai in February when it was COLD AS HELL there! Brrrrrrrrrrr!

I discovered some of their videos a while back - Aja has a twin!

I think the singer is adorable!!! She's having the time of her life which is what it's all about in my opinion!!

[Acujer]

I think its crapola! The chick looks like a robot. She should have went into Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.

Arch, In China I was in many places. But where I lived was Tianjin, Shanghai and an island called Xiamen.
Good rock bands from China are Beyond and WuBai from Taiwan. They rock!

Let's see you go learn a song in Japanese and get it perfect then! She's trying her best and the fact that it's not in her mother tongue makes it a million times more difficult for her. Kudos to her for giving it a shot!

She didn't write it - I'm talking about the performance.

And I don't mind some hip-hop actually. I really like Pink's first album and it's very hip-hop influenced.

I hope you know that I wasn't talking about her strong accent,but about the fact that she doesn't know the lyrics well.If you're about to sing on a stage for a crowd,you should be a 100% sure that you know the lyrics promptly! I can sing Maiden songs without screwing up the lyrics,and let me tell you a "secret":English is not my first language either!

Nah, it's cool! I just think it's alot harder to remember the lyrics than we think. It's ok when you've got Bruce to back you up but completely different when you're on your own. Even the best forget the lyrics from time to time (but saying that I didn't watch the vid so dunno how bad she screwed up!! )
