The album was followed in November 2015 by second mini-album New Beginning an unholy union of hard rock and heavy metal that took Band-Maid to the charts for the first time, grabbing the Number 64 spot in Japan. Initially conceived by Miku Kobato (小鳩 ミク) (rhythm guitar, vocals) – a former employee of a Japanese maid café – Kanami Tōno (遠乃 歌波) (lead guitar), Akane Hirose (廣瀬 茜) (drums, percussion) Misa (bass guitar), Saiki Atsumi (厚見 彩姫) (lead vocals) joined forces in 2013 and released their pop-rock-leaning debut mini-album, Maid in Japan, the following January, penned in collaboration with musicians Masahiko Fukui and Kentaro Akutsu.
With their cosplay-inspired outfits and their no-holds-barred riffs and high-octane tunes, Band-Maid are Japan's beloved hard-rocking all-female quintet.
