#NEMOPHILA#ネモフィラ#reaction - Hudba
I’m over the age of 50 , I’ve been waiting for this Japanese rock revolution for 25 years,
I’m happy now
Me too.
Nemophila is a supergroup of sorts. The guitarist on the right is Saki from the band Mary's Blood (and was a member of the legendary Japanese all female band Destrose). She is a veteran of the Japanese music scene, one of the best shredders in Japan and one hell of a hard worker--she has 3 projects going on right now (Mary's Blood is well worth checking out when you have time). Tamu Murata (AKA Muratatam) (the drummer) is a noted session drummer and has many projects under her belt-she has her own youtube channel . Mayu (vocals) and Haraguchi-san are both fairly new to the scene but were members of Lipstick & Holderins respectively. There are a few videos of them, but not a whole lot. Hazuki (the guitarist on the left) is (was?) part of the Lisa X project.
There are working on a new release and have a live internet only show coming soon. If they stay together I can see them possibly going places. But since they are all top players and will probably take a back seat to Mary's Blood, they may never rise above side project status, or get involved with other projects that may take off. They also, for whatever reason, seem to be sadly ignored by most reactors and I don't think they are signed to a label at the moment as their releases (2 EPs) so far have been self-released, so all of their promotion has been done by themselves.
Hazuki was in Disqualia with Narumi. Nemophila started out as Mayu's cover project and then morphed into Nemophila.
Hazuki worked both with Disqualia and LIsa-X. Nemophila did a live-stream concert recently with Gacharic Spin, hosted by Keiko Terada of Show-Ya. This community of metal women are wonderful and support each other in their projects, it's extremely cool. So unlike the American music scene where stars are constantly backstabbing each other. I believe Nemophila will continue to do things even if it is a side project for them--they really work well together.
Correct! 🎉
I love all 3 bands, and you're right, you can't compare them because they're all very different. All the better for us!
Ok, just watched their version of Megitsune... WOW!!!! Not saying any more, you need to react to it @OldSkuleNerd
Japan is a goldmine of popular music. Not just metal and rock, but also pop.
We were all blessed with all the female bands that comes out from Japan. Best time to live in apart from Covid.
Nemophila
Vo : MAYU
Gu : SAKI (the one wear stockings)
Gu : Hazuki
Ba : HARAGUCHI san
Dr : Murata Tamu
Both SAKI and Hazuki are both leads, similar to LOVEBITES guitarist.
thank you!!!!
Muratatam, the drummer, just had a baby in the middle of 2020. She’s a cute, smiley, badass drummer-mom!💪🏻🤘🏻
The lead guitarist name is SAKI guitarist for the her main band Mary's Blood. She is one of the best and veteran among the members of Nemophila
Good Reaction and analysis of why this band and the others are all great, next you need to look at Doll$Boxx ,.
Dragonet 🤗
This is a side project of the lead guitarist Saki from Mary's Blood and four others from different bands. LIPSTICK vocalists mayu, guitarist Hazuki from Disqualia, bassist Haraguchi-san from HöLDERLINS, and drummer Muratatamu from SORAMIMI. Watch their first single OIRAN, the drummer was pregnant in the video!
Saki is a legend and is a fantastic guitar player!
Now that I'm in my 50s and happily married with a family, yes I love seeing this! But back in the '80s, I'm glad it was the way it was. Back then, I would shred guitar to pick up girls. You try that nowadays and she's liable to whip out a guitar and out shred you! LOL Another great reaction!
Great tone in her voice & some wonderful chugging! Hadn't heard of them before, I'm off to discover another rabbit hole...
Enjoy!
@@OldSkuleNerd Slightly put off by the fact they've done a Nickelback cover, but I'll try not to hold that against them... They are wonderful!
@@timthomsonart HAHAHA i avoided that cover right till the end last one i watched then realised there's is so much better LOL
They are not just super talented but their page is full of great and fun songs
@@tackle47 there short vids are good as well as they progress there getting better in front of the camera .
Yes, love Band Maid and Nemophila. Nemophilas song Life gets me to tear up. As its about life, and birth. They streamed it live back in August on a virtual show, after drummer Tamu had just come back after having her baby, and few months off. So watching her drum in the song, holding back her emotion is so nice. She does break down and cry, when Mayu gestures to her.
Nemophila are each in bands but are freinds , and formed this as a project in fall 2019. So with the past year, they have an EP out, they wrote songs this past fall, for another EP, and album, and put out covers each week. Tamu is great. Akane and Tamu are my favorite drummers right now. Their yt vids of covers in Tamus practice, record area, have cameras all over room, with Tamus pedal cam. This is how guitarist Saki dresses. And Hazuki and Saki are with Kanami as favorite guitarists. Haraguchi San, is very good on bass, this song she is more laid back. And just like I love Saikei vocals, i love Mayus soft, cute, sassy clean vocals. And her screams. But yes Nemophila was a project for these girls, but has become more. And the name is after the flower.
But i love this band, along with Band Maid. Just not into Love Bites. LB are some of most talented musicians, I just cant get into them.
Tamu is a fantastic drummer that I follow for some years now (way before Nemophila) . But I wouldn't say she's "better" (or less good!) than Akane or Haruna. Three top drummers, each with their very individual style and "touch". And there's more! Yuri and Hana (Gacharic Spin), Marina (Aldious), Junna, Senri (Kawagushi), Yoyoka ... Japan is female drummers heaven.
Not just drummers bro, its all of it. Japanese female is not normal. They can shredd even better than any male guitarist in the world, slapped the bass that make Billy Shane looks cute, rolling the drums like nothing. The only place we can see this kind of things is Japan.
@@Miraie93 - it might have to do with the Japanese schooling. Playing instruments is not optional. And we all know that females takes school more serious than males. Serious classic studies in music is very popular in Japan. Many Japanese metal/rock females are schooled. Go check to see if that also is so for US and European metal musicians.
The guitarist your talking about is Saki, she's brilliant. Her other band Mary's Blood (named after a bloody mary) opened for dragonforce.
Check out their studio live song Oiran, you'll see what the lead singer can really do and get a feel for their personalities. Definitely have a personality all their own and the bassist is a giant goofball.....Also Show-Ya is THE proto-type for Japanese female metal, they were the 1st is 1988.
First time I heard Nemophila I immediately went to a Japanese site that sells lossless format music and bought every song available. Every Friday since covid-19 they've released a cover song. I suggest you react to their cover of Babymetal's Megitsune.
No matter who we speak about Saki is now a legend!! I mean she's been popular for a decade now!!! she's literally the guitar goddess in Japan!!!
great reaction!!! so glad you mentioned how lucky we are to have these bands and it's worthless to compare. rock on! \m/
Throwing in my vote for a Nemophila - Sorai reaction. And as others have said, Life is a great and emotional video, filmed after the drummer had just returned from maternity leave. A lot of people were worried that this was just going to be a quick side project for people that were already members of other bands but they seem to be putting that idea to rest. They have a live stream coming up on the 28th plus new music on that day too. Seconding the request for Maximum the Hormone, Maximum the Hormone II is a unique song. Perhaps the most interesting band you will see. Plus their drummer is a hero to many Japanese female drummers, Band Maid’s Akane lists her as a primary influence.
The best part is that we have Japanese Girl rock bands, who have realistically saved Rock and Roll for this millennium
One thing interesting about the drummer is that she has more than three times as many subscribers on her CZcams channel than the band has.
Yes. She’s very famous in Japan.
All the three bands you mentioned are amazing and we are lucky to have them playing this awesome music.
Rock and Metal are doing just fine these days, it's just that we need to look a little harder now to find it as it isn't as mainstream as it once was.
Thanks for checking them out and stay safe!
Finally!!!!
Firstly, thank you for getting the band's name right and bonus points for knowing the meaning of the word (both, the etymology and the flower). I've lost count of how many music reactors I've seen get it totally wrong. Secondly, I see others have already commented with most of the main details of this band so I'll just add with some background info:
Hazuki (guitarist, left), Haraguchi-san (bass), Tamu (drums) are all classically trained multi-instrumentalists since early childhood and even the singer, Mayu has some classical training and can play the piano. Much like many other child prodigy drummers from Japan who got famous at least in part by youtube (Senri Kawaguchi, Kanade Sato, Yoyoka Soma etc.), Tamu Murata was one of the first and grew a huge fan-base long before her first band. I mention all the other members first to provide context for Saki (guitar, right) who is self-taught and didn't start playing the guitar until graduating high-school (her dad is a diehard 80's metal fan and took her to see her first metal show for her graduation present), yet she still managed to work so hard at it and have so much passion for music that she is now one of the most regarded metal/rock guitarist in the current scene. It is no exaggeration to say that Saki is kind of a modern legend.
Well said
@@robertturner8040 Thank you. 🤘
Their studio cover videos are pretty great too. I just love to watch them all playing old school music, and making it look like a pre warm up session. You do remember Vixen don't you?
Nemophelia is a genus of low growing flowering plant that grow in the California chaparral. (related to borage) It is cultivated as an ornamental. Common name: Baby blue eyes.
Thank you for the info, appreciate your subscription please check your own channel...
It grows all over Japan too.
Vast fields of it.
Interesting reaction, thank you.
I'm kinda unpleasantly surprised that more so called fans react or just listen to this particular song that still blows me away and best shredding 🏆❤ I put this right with Enten🤟⛩️
Good analysis.
Love both Nemophila and Band-Maid and some Lovebites. They're not playing the same songs, and each drummer is playing to the music and talents of the other members. Def apples and oranges for comparison IMHO.
It has been said that Miku is reaching the point where she can coordinate tightly with Akane's drumming, and notice that leaves Misa free at least on occasion to play "lead bass" spectacularly, especially lately. So - what you said.
All these are older than they look, except vocalist Mayu. She is the kid.
Hazuki is guitarist on screen left, Saki on screen right. Both effing amazing.
In Lovebites, Midori (sunny, adorable Midori) is typically on screen left, Miyako the darkly serious one on screen right. Both effing amazing.
Haruna has a lot more versatility than we usually see. In another band she might sound entirely different. But Lovebites is 90% speed metal (listen to any ten random songs and prove me wrong) so speed is what she plays, very very well. The compact dynamo.
Band-Maid you already know. Still my #1, but Nemophila is right up there.
I enjoyed that reaction and hit the subscribe button. I enjoyed your Lovebites reactions , they are exceptional for sure. A little over a week ago I had never heard of Band-Maid or Lovebites. They're all amazing musicians including these ladies here. I know from one of your videos that your current to watch list will take you to October. But try to fit in Aldious (if you can) who are another extremely talented group of Japanese ladies. Keep up the great work here! :)
All their live stuff on their channel are good
Musicianship is not a competition in Japan. It's about being a craftsman and educator to your art.
Hi, you shold also check out other all female Japnese bands like Mary's Bood (I recommend the live version of Marionette) Doll$Boxx (Live version of Take My Chance), Gacharic Spin, Aldious, Bridear, Fate Gear, existtrace to name a few others. Rexently `I found a data base of over 500 (!) all female bands active in Jaoan. I also recommend a few Japaneae male/female bands including Maximum the Hormone, Unlucky Morpheus, Mardelas and D_Drive.
Also throwing TRiDENT and BRATS into the mix for consideration. They're damn good.
It's hard to keep track of all the all female bands in Japan. New bands pop up every month. Some of the newer bands popping up include Cran Arcaneria, Whisky Dust, and Ark Royal. Of the newer bands Hagane seem to be getting a fair amount of attention.
I came to see Senri's friend, for the first time. Great reaction, Sir.
Tamu seems to be friends with all of the great Japanese drummers.
Yeeesss!!!
Just saw in your recent FFDP reaction that you are in/near Lafayette...we are neighbors sorta, as Im just above Alexandria...good stuff
more of a rythym guitarist 8:38 .. 'kek'.. luv your reacts bro! keep going hard!! please watch a LOT more of this band.. they can do anything! Da best out there!!
band maid i guess unique coz thier in rock not on metal but thier edging in metal... nemophila is great band same us lovebites babymetal talents are thier girls can shred... band maid i guess the only band in hard rock from japan outshine not in metal genres...
Both BAND-MAID (11th) and NEMOPHILA (28th) have a livestream on February, don't miss them 😉
You're looking for an all female South American metal band? --> NERVOSA (Brazil)
Comes up with the idea of doing reactions to catch up with the last 15 years of music. Ends up spending half of the time reacting to Japanese girl groups. (Welcome to the club.)
The Nemophila flower has five petals as shown. Five band members.
There is an entire park devoted to this flower in Japan. When they flower, the hills turn a lovely blue.
Good analysis breaking down how each band works. All great in their own way.
Lovebites guitarist flamboyant blonde is Midori. Lovebites solomn brunette guitarist-pianist Miyako.
Midori and Miyako are also former members of Saki’s old band Destrose.
@@powbobs Neither Miyako nor Midori have been in Destrose. Haruna and Lovebites's former bassist Miho have.
Finally! Please react to 《oiran》🙏
i m here for the drummer, TAMU !
Words from a wise man:
"Remember: no matter what you do in life, there's always a Japanese lady that does it better than you."
Speaking of drummer, you got to check out Yoyoka (11 years old now), like "Burn - Deep Purple / Covered by Yoyoka Soma" or "Anderson .Paak - Put Me Thru / Cover by Yoyoka, 9 year old".
Yoyoka and this drummer (Murata Tamu) are friends.
These ladies are awesome and I love them! :)
Also I kinda got a crush on Haraguchi San (the bassist) and Mayu (the vocalist) for different reasons Haha
Haraguchi San is a very skilled bassist btw, she has a bit of a more up front role I a few other videos they did but you are absolutely right about that her role in Nemophila is not the same as Misa's role in Band Maid.
So, female metal bands:
Brasil: Nervosa
Sweden: Crucified Barbara (actually hard rock, but oh well...)
Switzerland: Burning Witches
I'm sure I'm forgetting some...
Gladly l liked your reaction . l am a fan of this good band. Mayu is a true singer , Tamu is an extraordinary drummer, Saki too,all actually . This band is very good ! I am happy to suscribe. Podría poner subtítulos en español, este video que me interesa tanto su comentario y saber más . Greetings!
please do their cover song MEGITSUNE by BABYMETAL MIND BLOWN( BOOM) C-YA
It's good to see Tamu playing Kurenai - this is SPEED! Can be found as Mayu's Sessions (the magical begining of Nemophila) or with Daisuke Kurosawa.
Nemophila so diverse and versatile 🤘🔥🔥❤️❤️
Yes super lucky
Now that you've seen Band-Maid, Lovebites, Asterism and Nemophila, you got to check out Trident and Aldious.
Also the best female Japanese guitarist is Yuki from the mixed gender instrumental group D_Drive. Do check them out.
You really haven't seen the best till you see Yuki of D_Drive.
Like you're commentary OSN! I'm well over 40. Doesn't matter. Into this scene SO much! They all are awesome in their own way. It's not about who's better. It's about them being great! Lovebites is my fave, but they're equally good. Ya gotta review Nemophila/ Dissension! That will blow you away even more! Keep up the good work. Oh, btw....I adore Asterism. Phenomenal! Cheers!
In Japan, 90% of Hardrock, Metal Band now are all female.....90% of male in Japan now watch their show...
That is not true. Stop talking nonsense.
Nemophila just dropped the video for Fighter about 3 hours ago =D
Great reaction. This band does an awesome cover of burn it to the ground from our beloved and most hated Canadian band nickleback. I love it. Curious to see what you think?
I did see an all girl band open for Iron Maiden and the Scorpions. They were called Girlshool, but that is all that I can think of.
3:50 We had Girlschool in the 80s. A lot of good reminiscences.
Thanks for that good reaction (top marks for getting the name correct) the only one i can come up with is Girls School from the 80s .Yes all of these coming out japan are next level .Nemophila were put together by Saki as you look right hand guitarist and the oldest plays with Marys blood guitar superstar in japan ,left hand guitar Hazuki plays with LisaX band Bass Haraguchi-san from the Holerlins and yes she does cut loose in other tracks live with slap bass solos got her sirous head on here but is very funny we think youngest at 23 ,drummer MuratatTamu (Tamu)big YT channel in demand session drummer and yes regarded as one of the best with her feet out there ,Singer Mayu from band Lipstik growls screams cleans and writes most of the lyrics .Was just a side project to start with but has grown into something more . 2 online internet concerts last year next 28th of feb . The next reaction should be Oiran (high class geisha girl) filmed in there practice room .Tamu was about to drop in this and had a baby girl shortly after resulting in Maternity leave .They have some interesting covers on there YT channel with originals as well started in 2019. Again thank you .
There was Vixen & Rock Goddess but they were kind of hair metal. Mean Streak out of New York (one of the guitarists is now married to John Petrucci of Dream Theater) was pretty heavy but their songs were kind of boring. Phantom Blue comes to mind too, but they were kind of more rock than metal other than their image. But there weren't many, and most were pretty amateur.
@@overtheedge4711 only familiar with Vixen now you say the name back in the 80s in the uk there wasn't much shown from the U.S. girls school supported Motorhead at some of there concerts and got quite big .
The Runaways - Joan Jett, Lita Ford.
@@glenkelley6799 I will give you the Runaways all members were girls, but joan jett and Lita ford they had male band members so not all women its got to be all members are female and the 80s
@@robertturner8040 Actually was just mentioning the members of the Runaways that I could remember
Speaking of female drummers, you should try Junna's (you already reacted to her) band Trident, Marina (Terry Bozzio's step daughter) of Aldious, Kanade Sato and Senri Kawaguchi.
I'm glad they're all different and as far as I'm concerned they're all number one because I love all of them if you just had to listen to one of them all the time that would be a shame because there's a lot of good music out there in Japan. I said in Japan
You're OVERANALYZING this dude! They are ALL outstanding in NEMOPHILIA. I am NOT going to compare them to any band. I accept them for who they are. You should do that as well.
BTW...NEMOPHILIA has TWO LEAD GUITARISTS!!
OK you need to check out Saki’s band Mary’s Blood, Saki is the guitarist with the skirt. Give Marionette a try for a MV or if you are feeling sparky go I’m Dead Live.
Awesome fucking band l..l, love how Rolling Quartz was on the tip of your tongue the whole time and you were like shiiiiit.... from Korea. Nailed it. Lol
Rolling Quartz are very promising.
The drummer from this band just give birth few months before this video.
Then that makes her a Super MOM too!!!
alot of people want to say...Band Maid this or Band Maid that.....i do like Band Maid...but the deeper you look into these bands....you find so much more than Band Maid . probably my most watched and listend to female bands are Nemophila ....Bridear...Fate Gear....Trident....Hagane
That really depends on what style of music someone prefers.
You appear to like metal more than rock which is why you prefer those bands.
I don’t really like metal with some exceptions so I prefer Band Maid to anyone you listed.
HAGANE ANOTHER JAPANESE MELODIC JAPANESE
attn Nerd, I know it's been 2 years but you need to listen to the song "Seize the fate" AND Hara's solo from the current Live US tour shows. 👂
Girlschool comes to mind. Vixen is another one. 🤘😁
please react to young girl metal bands like HAGANE. 🙇♂️
Should give UNLUCKY MORPHEUS a try...
FUNNY YOU MENTIONED THAT lol SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!!
Ooohhhhh... Can't wait 🤘🤘🤘
Have you heard Nemophila’s latest song ? Check out “A ray of light”. You may be surprised.
can you react to 《Cytus II》 - INSPION FullBand Master / INSPION? the drummer is same before she join nemophila
This song sounds like it was meant for the opening credits of some kick ass Anime series. Thanks for the intro to another Japanese hard rock / metal band full of incredibly talented women. Apparently Nemophila is a genus of flowering plants.
Surprised that you haven't done a reaction to Maximum the Hormone - Alien yet... MtH reminds me of a Japanese System of a Down. The drummer of Maximum the Hormone is also one of Akane Hirosa's influences.
nice reavtion bro , can you react to doll$boxx 5 female japanese hard rock band and by the way they are all talented and cannot be compared to anyone nice thanks
hey oldskulenerd i was wondering if you could react to Nemophilas new Music Video Adabana please let me know
Next Symphonic Metal? Heart Healer- Into The Unknown Magnus Karlsson feat Noora Louhimo Official Music Video.
yes agree, sweet babes all good drummers but Tamu is the metal master no doubt, not just double kicking but tripplets, quadruplets, tomtom rolls & killer crashing famous in metal 🏆♥️
please react to nemophila oiran youtube studio ver
Can you react to En livstid I krig (Live) by sabaton? It has English captions if u enable it!!
What you need to do is jump on spotify and grab the new Bandmaid album. And your whole opinion on Akane will change massive. She has breached the 200+ BPM barrier. So saying she can't play fast/keep up with this girl is a bit pre-mature.
Are you counting the 80s bands in spandex and makeup as girl bands? ;)
Please react to more Nemophila, Revive, Rise , zen
Rolling Quarts - Korean 👍
NEMOPHILA is neither a lovebites nor a band maid. Ossan is a new young girls metal rock band. Watch other songs on CZcams and let's all relax.
There are another name for you to check: Rie a.k.a. Suzaku.
Rie a.k.a. Suzaku / Dreaming Eyes
react to "Yousei Teikoku"
Band Maid, Nemophila and Lovebites to me sound completely different so they aren’t even in the same group to compare them. L sticks mostly to power metal, N is metal (mostly heavy metal so far) and BM is hard rock with several elements mixed in. The only similarity is them happening to be Japanese and all female, musically they hardly overlap. Even their vocal styles are very distinct from each other.
Asterism is an instrumental band playing metal. Sound wise Asterism and Nemophila are probably in the same group.
Dude! You should check out Crypta! They're an all female band from Brazil. Heavy as shit. Dark Night of the Soul is a good place to start.
Nevermind. Lol
@@bigearjimlynch lol he looked up CRYPTA OldSkuleNerd reactions lol 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@OldSkuleNerd yeeeeaaahhhh. I really should have scrolled through all your videos before I opened my big mouth. Lol
@@bigearjimlynch nah….. never apologize for being interested and honestly I have A LOT of videos to “scroll” through
@@OldSkuleNerd well I knocked out all your Crypta videos last night. You earned my sub. I'll definitely be checking out some more. Great content OSN.
You have to watch more nemophila videos before you can judge them because they have many different styles
fish lovers unite!!! ha
Why would they put a hotel commercial in the middle of this I'll never stay at that hotel
Lo mejor de tus videos es que sales minimizado en el rincón.
見てくれとのギャップ萌がないとダメなおっさんだって事は伝わった。
I think when people listen to these girls from Japan they're all amateurs hahaha check out Li-sa x she had her first band when she was eight and she was spreading the guitar
I would say Tamu is as good as Haruna or Akane, not better than. I would love to hear Saki (who has the skull design on her cab+amp) play alongside Miyako from Lovebites. But adding her to Lovebites might just make me lose what's left of my mind. It would almost be too much awesomeness!
To see another side of Saki, check out "Amahiru - Hours (Official Video)". It's a collaboration between her and Kreator/ex-DragonForce bassist Frédéric Leclerq.
Tamu was a famous child prodigy before any of these bands existed.
She was a jazz fusion style child prodigy like Senri.
And lastly... THEY ARE A SUPERGROUP WITH THE BEST CREATIVE TALENTE OF ALL BANDS! annnnd I'm out! 🚑
Tamu is a more complete drummer. She can do anything. Actually she is working as a session drummer you can get for any task. The drummers in Lovebites and Band-maid are very skilled, but more "one trick pony".
