Where BAND-MAID Is Now (2025)

BAND-MAID continues to captivate fans worldwide as one of Japan's premier hard rock bands, uniquely blending their iconic maid café aesthetics with powerhouse rock performances. In 2025, the band has been highly active, releasing new music and performing at major events. They dropped the digital single "What is justice?" in July, which serves as the ending theme for the TV anime "TOUGEN ANKI." Earlier in the year, their single "Zen" was featured as the opening theme for the anime "ZENSHU."

Additionally, BAND-MAID is embracing vinyl culture by re-releasing three of their past albums on vinyl for Record Day 2025, for which they have been named ambassadors.

Despite a focus on Japan for live performances this year, fans anticipate future international tours, possibly in 2026, along with new albums and exciting projects. BAND-MAID remains a dynamic and influential force in Japanese rock music, continuously growing their global fanbase.

BAND-MAID made a significant impact this year by performing at Summer Sonic Bangkok in August, marking their sole international appearance in 2025. They are also gearing up for their final 2025 Japan tour, with shows scheduled between October and December, including a grand finale at Tokyo Garden Theater.

Looking ahead, the band is set to release their new EP titled "SCOOOOOP" on October 22, 2025, featuring five new songs and special limited editions with Blu-ray or DVD instrumental videos. They have also been announced as guest acts for HYDE's World Tour Finale in Japan this October, further solidifying their presence in the Japanese rock scene.
