    JILL, the violinist, is a bona fide graduate of the number 1 music university in Japan with awards from competitions and perfect pitch. She is a real deal. The bassist Ogawa no using pick from my guess is due to the fact that he ONLY play Jazz prior to joining UM. FUKI (vocal) is the band founder and is probably the best female metal singer in Japan. She has an amazing range and love her voice color. She is a genius. Shiren (g Left) is the other founder and composes almost all songs. He is classically trained in Piano as well. Fumiya (drums) is an animal. He also plays piano. They are all JEDI level musicians.

    I once read an interview with Jill where she talked about how she started playing so young that she can’t remember not playing the violin. In that interview she talked about how she has perfect pitch and can hear the pitch in the sounds around her including the rain. Watching her and Jinya duet that solo (solee?) is awesome to watch.

    According to Fuki, she has not had any training. She said it's a style her mother used to sing around the house when Fuki was young, and Fuki just coppied her mothers style. So she has always sung like that, even at school.
    Jill start to play violin when she was 3, her brother was learning to play, so she wanted to do what he was doing. Her 1st teacher did not bother with sheet music, so she taught by ear, which is why she claims to be able to hear the pitch of rain hitting the ground. She is a Tokyo University of the Arts graduate, where she finished top of the year. Jill is in a band with her brother, Louie, who is not as good as Jill on violin, he mainly sings. Rose Noire - Dual Evil czcams.com/video/PksL8gYlKFE/video.html While they have not done anything for a while, I believe the band is still going, well it's hard to break up a band that's only brother and sister (that get on well together).
    Ogawa on bass is really a jazz bassist. He went to the same music college in Tokyo at the same time as Shiren, were they became friends. So when Unlucky Morpheus were starting out as a 2 member band (Shiren and Fuki) and the fans want to see them live, Shiren asked Ogawa to help out, and then when the band went full time in 2016, he was asked to join them. Ogawa was a protégé of Mikio Fujioka (Babymetal's Kami Band), they were in a band called Trick Box czcams.com/video/PFbL9wEjucA/video.html

    I forgot to add, and hopefully someone else will correct me, but Fuki does fashion designing, and often makes the bands costumes, which are reflective of a certain fashion genre (this is where I need a bit of help, lol), which is in some respects a lifestyle. The band is also unsigned, so they manage themselves, and seem happy to play in smaller venues.

    This track is a cover/rework of track of the media series Touhou (wiki Touhou project for more info). Unlucky Morpheus originally started out with just Shiren (guitar player stage left, right of the screen) and Fuki as a doujin band (from what I understand hobbyists/fans who release their works for other fans) covering songs by that franchise, so they have plenty. They have also rerecorded a bunch of them after all the members joined and even have an acoustic album that have some of them in a completely different setting. I don't know that much about the Touhou series but I am pretty sure there is a lot of fanwork of it from manga to games and music and that most original music is completely electronic so they have plenty of work reworking them into a metal track.
    Even though there are 6 people in the band nowdays, they still have that doujin mindset and are a completely independent band that do most stuff themselves if possible. I read that Fuki even creates some of the costumes they wear on stage. Also, I am pretty sure Fuki is a self-taught singer actually but I might get corrected on that. But yes all of the musicians in this band are incredible. Jill is basically a classically trained violinist, the bass player Ogawa is a jazz bassist and both guitarist and the drummer have played in plenty of other projects and bands and are masters of their craft.

    Wake up, get hot coffee (btw, I pick up my new coffee cup today from your merchandise store!), and have a nice reaction video waiting. Couldn't ask for a better start! As I had mentioned, this song just kind of showcased everyone. There are others, like Dance to Eternity that is excellent in musicianship, and I had read the band was not sure they could even do it live, but they did. I don't know much about Fuki's background, I believe I once read she was somewhat self taught singing around her mom but she uses the more traditional Japanese vibrato technique, which I think works perfectly for the band. I have heard her tone that down, so she can be soft if needed. She is one of the few that can head bang while singing. The entire band was more concentrated in the anime scene, so you are correct in that. It wasn't until more recently that they began to create their own songs, and they really blossomed when Jill (violin) joined as she has expanded their musicality. I borrowed this from another post:
    Shiren - Purple guitar player that also does vocals sometimes (growling but also clean style). He founded the band alongside Fuki. He has also played in many bands like Undead Corporation (played for both Unlucky Morpheus and Undead Corporation at the same time till 2015), Icaru's Cry, Babymetal and many others. He has been battling with tenosynovitis and so often his guitar is on a stand or Jill plays his role when he can't play at all. Evidently his condition is thankfully getting better.
    Jinya - The other guitar player, he also played in other bands including Undead Corporation
    Ogawa - The bass player. Jazz background, was the only member from the band that wasn't into metal before.
    Fumiya - The drummer. One of the very best and in some Galneryus songs. He was playing in Galneryus and UM at the same time from 2016 till 2020.
    They have their own style of music, so they cannot be compared to Lovebites in genre, but I do believe in musicianship they are comparable, and they have Jill, lol. For me, they also have a much more energetic stage presence. During Covid Jill, Jinya, Fumiya and Ogawa formed a 4 person outlying instrumental band called Quadratum, usually displaying Jill's amazing violin work. Thanks for the review!
    When you get to Tears of Tragedy, well, it will be different, lol. And Yousei Teikoku is another anime band, so not in the US mainstream of music.

I heard that Yngwie Mulmsteen composed this piece inspired by Paganini's violin concerto. Then naturally Unlucky Morpheus Cover sounds better than the original.
