Look, love you guys and like your taste in music, but DUDE...how many times do we have to tell you not to talk over Brown Sugar? And Sugar, you need to stop deferring to him. Your opinions count, and not just saying "I know" to whatever he says. You guys are watching all these bands that personify female power, but you're not practicing it. This is the sole reason I'm not subscribing, and I know it turns off other people too.
WTF are you talking about? I don't talk over her. Her& I get excited about the music! I always let her talk. We both get excited about Music. No one is trying to cut anyone off. Sorry you feel that way. Have a nice day. Peace.
Hello fam... this is your girl Brown Sugar. I just wanted to say that I respect the fact that you feel like you are sticking up for me, that really means a lot! BUT (in all caps my friend, and not out of disrespect) Brew does not talk over me... if anything I talk over him at times! lol And I actually feel bad sometimes because of it! The thing is my friend is that we are "RELAXED AF" when we do our reactions, so SOMETIMES...hahahaha we are so excited about what we are watching and hearing, that we just say it when we feel it! NO ONE has EVER given me the love and respect that he has. Whenever I say "I KNOW", it's because he literally has said what I was thinking or about to say! It's like we share one brain at times! lmao But not to go on a diatribe... I just wanted to say thank you for being here my friend, thank you for the love, and what matters to both Brewster & myself the most is that you, and everyone here enjoys the time and music and love we have for these bands! Stay metal my friend Brown Sugar
AND!!!! just a side note... Feminism is not some "movement", feminism to ME is when we embrace our GODHOOD, and treat ourselves with THE RESPECT & LOVE that we claim we deserve from others. IT ALL BEGINS WITH US! AND to side note that side note... it shouldn't just be women that are embracing their GODHOOD... it should be EVERYONE!!! We as a f'ing species needs to realize that once we stop looking at things in terms of MALE or FEMALE, or should I say masculinity & feminism, and paying attention to the things that make us different, we as a species will be able to rise in consciousness to that next level. If we all keep highlighting, observing, and shining the light on the things that make us different, we will never be able to come together as one my friends. YES we ARE all different in the ways that we are supposed to be, but the point of us all being different wasn't to make THOSE FACTS the relevant and most important thing about us.... we are supposed to all be different so that we can USE these differences to grow, experience, and enjoy this game called LIFE. Not to kick us down, and belittle each other, and hate one another. I MY FRIENDS LIVE IN MY GODHOOD 24/7.. AND I DO IT WITH THE LOVING ASSISTANCE OF MF'ING METAL!!! BROWN F'ING SUGAR
Sometimes “talking over” can be misconstrued by others. My wife often finishes my sentences, even in public, so I pull a Jack Benny and simply say, “Exactly!” Sometimes older couples sitting in complete silence over a meal are seen as “no longer talking to each other” when the fact is they’re communicating more love to each other every few seconds via body signs than some young people express during a whole year of jabber. We who are coupled know where we stand with our mates and that’s what matters most. Hugs to you Brewtality youngsters, we loves you from Texas!
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 Hey, all good, if it's all working for you, who am I to argue. Keep up the good work and keep on going with the J-metal craziness cause there is a lot more! Peace.
Thank you for finding Band Maid. It's often said that the status of women in Japan is low, but as you can see in this video, I hope you can understand that Japan is a country where you can freely express your individuality.
I’ve noticed with Japanese metal. It’s metal music with a little Japanese magical pixie dust sprinkle in. I can’t really explain it but that’s what it seems that most modern metal is missing. It’s the only way I can explain my love for Japanese metal anyways that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
The song Epilogue was composed by Asami the lead vocalist prior to her joining to Lovebites. Watanabe Miyako the dark haired guitarist like it very much and she rearranged the song for Asami and this is what you get. 🤘
I stumbled onto Japanese metal almost 2 years ago, and that's all I listen to now. Nemophila are amazing and have a their first full album coming in December, they played several new songs at their online concert last weekend and they are all very different and so good. Wait until you hear Hypnosis, just a tease, you'll be blown away
A real talented field of next-level instrumentalists across the board in all of these bands. If I were to have a vote I would give the prize to the Maids. I am a fan of all of these bands for a variety of different reasons. I also feel it's difficult to see it as a competition where if you choose one band over the other means the rejection of the band on the losing end somehow is not a worthy band. It just becomes a matter of preference. I feel Band-Maid provides the most reasons. Primarily they provide a variety of my favorite elements in songwriting. One: memorable guitar riffs. Two: Dynamic drum and bass with a world-class rhythm section of Akane, Misa, and Maku. Three: Unique sound signature, you know it's them within the first few bars. They sound like no other band. Which is a rare feat nowadays. Four: They manage to weave complexity in a way that holds a familiar thread and is spun into a catchy memorable package all while not sacrificing the groove. Five: Variety! They are not painted into any particular musical genre which allows them the freedom to explore and access the full musical spectrum to incorporate into their music. Overall, they have achieved a feat that I would have never seen myself ever doing in a million years and that is I find myself mimicking the vocals in a language that is completely foreign to my own. Needless to say, I'm completely surprised!
I kept getting back to NEMOPHILA - LIFE reaction and can't get enough of it. With PANTERA shirt you wearing, this reminds me if when PANTERA take a shift turn with their slightly mellow verses but still heavy with CEMETERY GATES tune.
Nemophila is right there with Lovebites. Nemophila has some brutal bangers. Both guitarists are shredders. Saki and Hazuki. Saki is also in Mary’s Blood. Hazuki is in Lisa X, was in Disqualia. This is just like Miyako and Midori. Saki well known guitarist. Nemophila rocks out, hard rocks out, and brutal metal. This song is very emotional, when first played in a live stream august 2020, drummer Murata Tamu was very emotional, just returning from having her baby. Mayu is singer, Haraguchi San is bassist.I love Nemophila, Band Maid and Lovebites equally, all three are so incredible. Try the song Raitei music vid, it has a thunderous banging finish. Band Maid are incredible, love every song they do. Try songs: Manners, Onset, Moratorium, Blooming, Puzzle. Lead guitarist, songwriter Kanami is incredible. Kanami is right there with M and M from Lovebites, Saki, Hazuki from Nemophila, Merel Bechtold as my favorite guitarists today, right there with EVH, Slash, Rhoades, Olivia, Petrucci. For me Bassist Misa, and drummer Akane are superb. Murata Tamu and Akane are favorite drummers of mine. Epilogue and Life both have me in tears, when I listen. Both songs are gut wrenching, heart wrenching emotional songs. Band Maid daydreaming does as well.
I know you'll see this a lot in the comments. Different look, so it's easy not to recognize her. But her signature guitar "The Empress" gives it away. Saki shreds in both Nemophila and Mary's Blood. The girl is in demand! As to BandMaid, not every song can be your favorite. My favorite song of theirs is "Manners". I'm waiting on that one, but I imagine your list is long. Great Megabowl tonight. Looking forward to the next one. Whoa....just noticed....you're three subscribes away! I knew you guys would make it by Halloween.
During this pandemic, Lovebites had bitten me so hard (in a very positive way), their music is a light for me, the guitar tone, the song melody, the guitar solo, the guitar riffs, asami's voice, wtf.....they re 'goddesses', with due respect to the other bands in this mega-bowl, hands down to Lovebites. They re in diff level. Lovebites is my brkfast, lunch, n dinner.....🤘🤘🤘 go go Lovebites.
That must be the ladies bass fetiche , i understand , i love them all too and haill for the drummers , the best female drummers of japan are in this reaction , the only missed is Junna ( but Junna is a freelancer) 🤘🤘
When I first started going down this J rabbit hole about a year ago I checked out Lovebites Holy War and of course was like WOW, then I saw Band-Maid's Thrill and Onset and I started focusing on them, but I felt like I wanted to listen to something harder so I checked out more Lovebites and realized they are the HEAVY METAL CHAMPIONS and I became WOLFPACK! I also really like Nemophila. I'm glad Saki started them, while also being the best part of Mary's Blood.
This song from Nemophila was the first of theirs I heard and it was love at first note. The story behind the song is, it was written kind of as a welcome back to the drummer who had just come back after maternity leave. It ties them together not just as members of a band, but as family. Another kick-ass tune from Mary's Blood is Marionette czcams.com/video/MLM2unV0kwU/video.html I think one of the reasons Japanese rock and metal is not well known in the US is, the record industry in general, and the radio in particular, demand a certain format and length for the songs they play and the Japanese musicians are like fuck you, we will play what we will play. Like RUSH giving the finger to the industry with 2112. I've been on this journey since a friend from Tokyo demanded I listen to Band-Maid's Thrill back in 2017 and I can tell you, I'll stick by the Japanese bands over the industry all day long. Some ppl call me a creepy old man because I gravitate toward the female bands, but if you take away their sex, age, and beauty and focus on pure talent, The female bands are so far above and beyond that I wonder sometimes if they are really from this planet. The industry is not going to let people outside Japan about these bands, so it is up to us, the fans, to support these bands and get the word out. They deserve nothing less. Sorry this is such a long read.
You said it best Lovebites is the Boss level band!! Miyako Goddess! The guitarist SAKI from Nemophila is the same guitarist in Mary's Blood, she is a beast! Fantastic Band Maid song, they rock hard!! Awesome Mega Bowl!! 🤘🙂🐺🔥 1K congratz!
Awesome line up and 1K subs, was watching for this...Grats !!! OK, got to say putting Life and Epilogue head-to-head was brilliant. Both of those grab you right buy the throat and take your soul for a ride. Well done Brown Sugar and BDB !!!
People like to talk about Shadowmaker and When Destinies Align as the Miyako and Midori showcase songs but I think Epilogue is even a bigger showcase. How seamlessly Midori comes in with Miyako and then leaves again is perfection.
I enjoy your mega bowl's a lot. This was an interesting song by Nemophila, very different from their usual stuff. Mary's Blood was pretty good too. As to Lovebites - Epilogue is very different from their usual stuff too, and they really nailed it. Some reactors have been brought to tears from the song. The message in the lyrics is phenomenal, too bad you weren't able to make it out. I am used to Asami's voice now so I heard every word crystal clear. She is a really great singer to be able to hit homeruns in both the fast songs and the slow songs and has such a beautiful yet powerful voice. Midori and Miyako really made those guitars sing. Amazing. And Don't Bite the Dust, is probably Asami's favorite song because she always smiles so big when singing it and has so much fun with it. A high energy song. The Band Maid song was pretty good. I liked the riff and the guitars. I just can't seem to get into their music as much as everybody else. And the last band, no comment.
Double header from Saki can not be a bad thing in the morning The lady is a phenomenal guitarist and a super nice person with it the first two are her main bands and she is playing her signature 7 string from Killer guitars .Nemo Life has a special meaning to the band as the first time they played it live it was the drummers first time back after having a baby so they all turned to her and played the song to her she was in tears as were the rest that video is also up on there channel .And Mary's Blood Saki has been with some 10 years they are a awesome band for a different flavour try R.I.P by them its got a punk/metal vibe to it .Saki is fast becoming a legend.
Nice selection. Congrats on your 1000. Life shows Nemophila's other side. Check out the official vid for this song. Please do a reaction to Nemophila cover of MTH song Shimi. Mayu is insane on that song . Can't stop playing it.
BAND MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs. 1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014 2 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock 3 Different : First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season. 4 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Kobato's backing vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful. 5 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence 6 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad. 7 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile. The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best. 8 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die. 9 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016 10 Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day . 11 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused. 12 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation". RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought. 13 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony. 14 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics. Added ★ Peace & Love : Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.
Saki in both of her bands (Nemo & Mary’s Blood) is one of the most respected guitarists in Japan and as for epilogue by LOVEBITES this song was written by Asami herself both the music and vocals and this song always makes me cry like a fucking baby lol every time I watch it and yes Gary Moore is one of Miyako’s influences her Parisian Walkways cover is spot on and the midori solo at the end reminds me so much about ZZ Top ….LOVEBITES…..LOVEBITES….LOVEBITES ❤️☠️
Mary's Blood are probably the band that has the biggest gap between how good they are and how unknown they are in the U.S. I've seen them live and they absolutely fucking killed it. Goddesses of metal. Chalk it up to resistance by the US music industry and incompetance by the Japanese labels.
=Nemophila= Screaming and broken cleans : Mayu Very technical guitar : Saki Guitar : Hazuki Beautiful bass girl : Haraguchi-san Lovely smiling drummer : Murata Tamu (Name is Tamu, nickname is muratatam). That Lovebites song is one of my favorites, it feels really good when they put one of this ones in the middle of all the shredding in a concert. They have several other softer songs that I am afraid to rate which one is better because all of them are. You should also check Empty Daydream, Edge of the World, A Frozen Serenade. What about checking out *BABYMETAL* one of this days? I would start with them with Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 or Headbanger at the Legend 1997 concert.
LOVEBITES - Don't Bite The Dust lyrics: The rain keeps falling and falling I am crying all alone again Time is passing me by Not knowing of what it's gonna be But then I realized that I was only building my own wall It's not too hard to find what's wrong So I gotta stand up, bring it all together This game has only begun Can I only stay the way I am？ Breaking the silence in the darkness I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in I don't wanna bite the dust All I have is a ghost of a chance Never to forget what I've lost I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost I don't wanna bite the dust Even if it's me against the world I'm gonna fight until I die But then I realized that I was only building my own wall It's not too hard to find what's wrong So I gotta stand up, bring it all together This game has only begun Can I only stay the way I am？ Breaking the silence in the darkness I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in I don't wanna bite the dust All I have is a ghost of a chance Never to forget what I've lost I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost I don't wanna bite the dust Even if it's me against the world I'm gonna fight until I die I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in I don't wanna bite the dust All I have is a ghost of a chance Never to forget what I've lost I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost I don't wanna bite the dust Even if it's me against the world I'm gonna fight until I die I'm breathing and alive ----- lyrics: miho music: miho & Mao arrangement: LOVEBITES (miho, haruna, midori, miyako, asami)
Thank you for another entertaining hour. Such a shame about the Lovebites block. Nemophilia, have so much promise and I believe I commented this before that they are a younger and angrier Lovebites. Mary's Blood, go back to around 2013 and prove to be an audio and visual treat. I hope you react to many songs from them. The Lovebites, double bill provide relentless quality as always. Akane's drumming in the Band Maid song is giving Haruna a run for her money 😄 For me, Band Maid are the best Japanese rock/pop band. Dexcore, is not really my thing but they are excellent at what they do. The end of the song certainly catches you out. Scary stuff!
Thank you so much Glynthepin!!!! We appreciate that for sure!!! And I know!!! It sucks that these videos often get blocked, and what I am noticing is that the blocks are mostly coming from Japan from mgmt. I could put the videos that get blocked up where everyone can watch, but for me... that is cheating our BREWCREW/WOLFPACK that are hanging out with us over in Japan out of the footage. So I have a strict **EIther we ALL WATCH, or NONE of us watch policy!!!! I mean, we can all privately watch the videos, so it's a win for me in my book. They just don't let us react to it, and show you all the video at the same time. It's odd for me, but I guess I get it???... Hopefully we will all be able to watch the videos while reacting! I am holding on to hope for that for sure! Nemophila is fast becoming one of our new FAVS for SURE!!! I love their passion and spirit! Not to mention the musicianship!!!! UGGHHH F'ING PHENOMS!!!! Mary's Blood TOO!!! I am SO HAPPY that we got turned on to JAPANESE METAL!!!! It is now one of my favorite things to listen to now! Band_Maid are SICK AF ALSO!!! And wow... the drummers in all of these bands for me are TOP NOTCH!!! My ear as an ex-drummer (gonna get back to it someday soon lol) almost ALWAYS listens to the drums before anything else really... then the bass, then everything else that rounds the music out. It has always been a habit of mine to do so. Dexcore is something special to me. I love everything about this band!!! I know it can't be everyone's cup of tea, just like some other things won't always be mine, but DUDE!!!... They have the IT Factor for sure! Musicianship, heaviness, growls from the pit (ahhhhhh) the clean vocals... the RIFFS... those beastly drums.. dude... I LOVE IT! Again, not for everyone, but that is ok. We all can't love everything the same. That would be boring! lol Thanks for staying with us... more fun to come my friend! Brown Sugar
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 There is a way around blocks called Link & Sync. It is not that difficult to do but it does mean people with iPhones generally can not watch as it means having to open two windows on the phone at once. It is quite easy to do with an Android phone and easy on a Windows PC or Apple Mac computer. Since 2014, I have mainly followed Japanese rock/metal with respect to new bands. Prior to that, my knowledge of Japanese music and Japanese lady's had consisted of some obscure Japanese Jazz bands that a school friend of a friend was listening to and Deep Purple's album Made In Japan, and their song Woman In Tokyo. Yoko Ono was the only Asian woman I knew about. Compare that to today with the statement it does not matter what you do, there is a Japanese lady who does it better than you. I borrowed that quote. Since 2014 where I have lived in the southern hemisphere, I can only wish I could turn back my own time and be in my early 20's. The quality of the lady Japanese bands musicianship and the way many of them behave, and their politeness combined with the enjoyment they ooze onstage when they play, would be manna from heaven compared to the bands I used to watch back in the 1970's. For or five disinterested guys totally self absorbed and looking like they are hating every minute of playing apart from the 'orgasm face' guitar solo. I know that is a generalisation. Watching the various female bands from Japan and apologies for being crude but not only are you seeing and hearing fantastic talent but who would not want to pluck their pussy's the way they pluck their strings? As you are an x drummer, you are spoilt with Akane, Haruna etc. It was Misa's bass playing that hooked me into Band Maid. Thanks for your comments and good luck with your channel. Brown Sugar? Not so sure about the heroin name choice but I am a reserved Englishman! 😄
My favorite BAND-MAID song these days is the live stream version of Manners, a bluesy mid-tempo rocker Stick around and Akane will take you on a trip into a Black Hole.
Congratulations on finally reaching the Epilogue.. I guess you guys didn't know that it was a 2 songs video.. That song "Epilogue" means a lot to me man.. Too bad the video got blocked.. Funny you guys only pause once on the Epilogue.. Tell me honestly, you actually cried under that sunglasses right? 😂😂
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 But I can still see some of the video via the reflection of your sunglasses, I guess u need a bigger one in case videos get blocked again.. 😂
The Ride for Vengeance version of Don't bite the dust has Midori doing her solo then it pans out and Miyako is in the back of the stage way up high like she's towering over everyone for her solo.
I was hoping they’d recognize Saki in the Mary’s Blood video, but when she plays with them she looks like a different person cuz of the different clothes and stuff
Did you seriously have a dream that made you play Mary's Blood after Nemophila not knowing that Saki is their guitarist? I would think that you were playing us but you barely liked it at first. Huh. Yeah Girl! Feeling that Band-Maid Rhythm section!
Yeah that is no lie!! I have things like that every day in my life. Brown Sugar & I "see&feel things". So yeah did have the dream because I was supposed to play that one for some reason. No I did not know about the guitarist. We are still learning from you guys! Thank You for helping us. We greatly appreciate it!!
Well, I'm not a Lovebites fan ( but like the song from Halestorm, where their name is coming from ). Don't ask me why, it is not the quality ( they are absolutely talented ), I tried it several times, but it is not my stuff. But that doesn't matter, they have so much fans, they can't be wrong. And that is leading to my real comment...thank god for the Rock music, either it is Metal, Hard, Ballads or any other. You don't have to like everything, but the deversity of the different genres is neccessary, it would be boring if we didn't have it. Thank you to all the bands, composers and writers. As long we have the music, life is beautiful.
Wow! Thank you for your words! True everyone will not like the same things, that's why Brown Sugar came up with the idea of the Mega-Bowl. Like one of our fam on here said, "It's like a listening party" That's how we want it to be. Thank You again for your words& hanging with us. Brewster
What a goosebumps reaction. Especially you reaction to Epilogue and Don't bites the dust from Lovebites. I'm so enjoyed. Thank you so much. Next, try they song "Signs of deliverance" Wolfpack keep on lovebitten🤘🐺🤘
I voted “Addicted” from Zepp in 2020, but yeah “Signs of Deliverance” is a great song. LOVEBITES has a lot of great songs that don’t have live videos like “Mastermind 01”
@@hiufernando7340 --. Hey man, i was looking at your name, and I could swear I worked around you here in Memphis TN when you were building storage racks jamming death metal, and one day Black Sabbath Technical Ecstasy on my last day out there. That’s the only BS album I didn’t have then. I was jamming LOVEBITES on a weak ass BT speaker. You had like a 15” PA setup. If that doesn’t sound familiar, my apologies, I probably remembered the name wrong- either that or there is another Hui Fernando out there who has heard of LOVEBITES now- LOL.

Check out their covers of Bon Jovies You give Love a Bad Name and Skid Rows Youth Gone Wild if you like that 80's glam metal sound. Both relased in the last two weeks.
12 minutes and 12 minutes ago….. 1k subs! I was hoping you’d do that version, but WTF is with these bootleggers that put restrictions on their vids? I hope you can arrange what you said you were going to do and get permission to use stuff on your own. --- I thought you’d dig that song! 🤟🐺🔥 Epilogue was one I didn’t like at first because I was like “Give me thrash or give me death!” So I avoid slower songs, but the lyrics are dope, and now it’s one of my faves. I think that performance was from “Daughters of the Dawn” IIRC.

I know you lads and ladies love your lyrics and if you get the chance look at the NEMOPHILA "LIFE" lyric video someone has done on YT and the lyrics will blow you away.
Saki may have been another of those Destrose members that went on to other big bands also Mary's Blood has an ex Destrose member as well as Haruna and Miho of Lovebites.
All of Mary's Blood except the bassist Rio are ex-Destrose. Saki was in the 2nd Destrose lineup and after the two original Mary's Blood guitarists quit they snagged Saki away from Destrose, too. Destrose has a pretty amazing story for a band that only released one full album in 8 years.
Nemophila are my second favourite band even ahead of Band-Maid who are spectacular and unbelievable band. Lovebites on the other hand are the No1. on its own almost unreachable level. In my and many other opinion they are the best band in past 20 or so years and surely top 10 all time. Though out of the three Band-Maid are more popular as their musical style is more acceptable than the style of Lovebites or even Nemophila. As for Mary's Blood they are a darn good band as well as Aldious and Ghacaric Spin. As for soft/pop rock/punk/ska/reggae style it is undoubtedly Scandal who started 15 years ago and coined the term J-Rock. Spectacular musicians as well, all compose, all sing and just legends. Japan is just better in any musical style, even the J-pop and dance scene, though not as popular as K-Pop, more like completely unknown and hidden gem.
i can hear the Pat Benatar at the beginning, particular song is "Invicible" -right? constantly hearing little flashes of other singers, Mayu covers so much territory.... I hope they cover a Joan Jett song.....so many covers, if you haven't check the list of songs Nemophila covered.....fun stuff
Yo....I LOVE this Nemophila song! It puts me in a good place. I love Nemophila! They are quickly getting right there with Lovebites for me. Crazy Great band! Brewster
Nemophila's "life" is a very positive song and like you said make us felling good. Talking about of Mary's Blood, this is not one of my favorite songs of them, but this band had a lot of good, heavy and fun songs, I suggest to you listem to "world's end": czcams.com/video/CrTHVXZm_d8/video.html
Ha! This is such a weird Mega Bowl. You picked Nemophila's mellowest song, one of Mary's Blood's mellower songs (relatively), and now you're on one of Lovebites' mellowest songs. Band-Maid hasn't started yet, but I wonder if it's going to be mellow.
you know what.... that is all done by the spirit of metal my friend! We were going through songs we haven't done yet, and I chose those! Lucky coincidence Brown Sugar
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 It was cool. Life is one of my favourite Nemophila songs. In fact one of my favourite songs, period. The official video (the studio version over the livestream footage) gets me all teary, in a good way. Anyway Band-Maid broke today's mellow theme (not mellow) and I don't think Dexcore do "mellow", but I could be wrong since I don't really know their stuff. I like these Mega Bowls, especially when it's all-Japanese. Reason being, a lot of people watch reactions to bands who are the current trend, but ignore reactions to a lot of legendary bands, or just great bands who deserve to be more well known. Even Mary's Blood, who are probably the most popular all-female metal band in Japan (outside of Aldious who have a higher profile with the mainstream public due to being the first one signed to a major label) get pathetically low views compared to bands-of-the-moment. And forget about classic metal bands from the 80s who are still going (Ningen Isu excepted). Someone reacted to Valkyrie the other day, first reaction I've ever seen to Valkyrie. They were the first all-female thrash band in Japan, broke up in the 80s or early 90s, then reformed in 2015, and I swear only 3 people outside of Japan even know they exist, so the reaction got something like 90 views. Throw them in a Mega Bowl with Lovebites and Band-Maid, and they instantly get thousands of views, so I like the concept. Also, Saki rules, so two videos for the price of one works for me.
I was thinking that when we first heard the announcement, but I am not so sure about it. Everyone loves Haraguchi-san... no doubt. She could do it, but I wouldn't want to leave Nemophila in the position of having to look for a bass player.
@@evilvolts We are all guilty of thinking about this from time to time. Who it could be. I think we all might be surprised, when it finally happens. All we can do is wait.

WTF are you talking about? I don't talk over her. Her& I get excited about the music! I always let her talk. We both get excited about Music. No one is trying to cut anyone off. Sorry you feel that way. Have a nice day. Peace.
Hello fam... this is your girl Brown Sugar. I just wanted to say that I respect the fact that you feel like you are sticking up for me, that really means a lot! BUT (in all caps my friend, and not out of disrespect) Brew does not talk over me... if anything I talk over him at times! lol And I actually feel bad sometimes because of it! The thing is my friend is that we are "RELAXED AF" when we do our reactions, so SOMETIMES...hahahaha we are so excited about what we are watching and hearing, that we just say it when we feel it!
NO ONE has EVER given me the love and respect that he has. Whenever I say "I KNOW", it's because he literally has said what I was thinking or about to say! It's like we share one brain at times! lmao
But not to go on a diatribe... I just wanted to say thank you for being here my friend, thank you for the love, and what matters to both Brewster & myself the most is that you, and everyone here enjoys the time and music and love we have for these bands! Stay metal my friend
Brown Sugar
AND!!!! just a side note... Feminism is not some "movement", feminism to ME is when we embrace our GODHOOD, and treat ourselves with THE RESPECT & LOVE that we claim we deserve from others. IT ALL BEGINS WITH US! AND to side note that side note... it shouldn't just be women that are embracing their GODHOOD... it should be EVERYONE!!!
We as a f'ing species needs to realize that once we stop looking at things in terms of MALE or FEMALE, or should I say masculinity & feminism, and paying attention to the things that make us different, we as a species will be able to rise in consciousness to that next level. If we all keep highlighting, observing, and shining the light on the things that make us different, we will never be able to come together as one my friends. YES we ARE all different in the ways that we are supposed to be, but the point of us all being different wasn't to make THOSE FACTS the relevant and most important thing about us.... we are supposed to all be different so that we can USE these differences to grow, experience, and enjoy this game called LIFE. Not to kick us down, and belittle each other, and hate one another.
I MY FRIENDS LIVE IN MY GODHOOD 24/7.. AND I DO IT WITH THE LOVING ASSISTANCE OF MF'ING METAL!!!
BROWN F'ING SUGAR
Sometimes “talking over” can be misconstrued by others. My wife often finishes my sentences, even in public, so I pull a Jack Benny and simply say, “Exactly!” Sometimes older couples sitting in complete silence over a meal are seen as “no longer talking to each other” when the fact is they’re communicating more love to each other every few seconds via body signs than some young people express during a whole year of jabber. We who are coupled know where we stand with our mates and that’s what matters most. Hugs to you Brewtality youngsters, we loves you from Texas!
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 Hey, all good, if it's all working for you, who am I to argue. Keep up the good work and keep on going with the J-metal craziness cause there is a lot more! Peace.
This version of Epilogue always brings me to tears. Every single lady is amazing. Thankful for our Goddesses of Metal!! 🤘🏻🐺
If "Epilogue" doesn't bring you to tears, or close, you aren't human.
Right!!! BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!
Brewster
Thank you for finding Band Maid. It's often said that the status of women in Japan is low, but as you can see in this video, I hope you can understand that Japan is a country where you can freely express your individuality.
lovebitesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I’ve noticed with Japanese metal. It’s metal music with a little Japanese magical pixie dust sprinkle in. I can’t really explain it but that’s what it seems that most modern metal is missing. It’s the only way I can explain my love for Japanese metal anyways that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
The song Epilogue was composed by Asami the lead vocalist prior to her joining to Lovebites. Watanabe Miyako the dark haired guitarist like it very much and she rearranged the song for Asami and this is what you get. 🤘
I stumbled onto Japanese metal almost 2 years ago, and that's all I listen to now. Nemophila are amazing and have a their first full album coming in December, they played several new songs at their online concert last weekend and they are all very different and so good. Wait until you hear Hypnosis, just a tease, you'll be blown away
A real talented field of next-level instrumentalists across the board in all of these bands. If I were to have a vote I would give the prize to the Maids. I am a fan of all of these bands for a variety of different reasons.
I also feel it's difficult to see it as a competition where if you choose one band over the other means the rejection of the band on the losing end somehow is not a worthy band. It just becomes a matter of preference.
I feel Band-Maid provides the most reasons. Primarily they provide a variety of my favorite elements in songwriting. One: memorable guitar riffs. Two: Dynamic drum and bass with a world-class rhythm section of Akane, Misa, and Maku. Three: Unique sound signature, you know it's them within the first few bars. They sound like no other band. Which is a rare feat nowadays. Four: They manage to weave complexity in a way that holds a familiar thread and is spun into a catchy memorable package all while not sacrificing the groove. Five: Variety! They are not painted into any particular musical genre which allows them the freedom to explore and access the full musical spectrum to incorporate into their music. Overall, they have achieved a feat that I would have never seen myself ever doing in a million years and that is I find myself mimicking the vocals in a language that is completely foreign to my own. Needless to say, I'm completely surprised!
I kept getting back to NEMOPHILA - LIFE reaction and can't get enough of it. With PANTERA shirt you wearing, this reminds me if when PANTERA take a shift turn with their slightly mellow verses but still heavy with CEMETERY GATES tune.
Lovebites 🔥❤️💥
B A N D -- M A I D ! 🤘🤘
Nemophila is right there with Lovebites. Nemophila has some brutal bangers. Both guitarists are shredders. Saki and Hazuki. Saki is also in Mary’s Blood. Hazuki is in Lisa X, was in Disqualia. This is just like Miyako and Midori. Saki well known guitarist. Nemophila rocks out, hard rocks out, and brutal metal. This song is very emotional, when first played in a live stream august 2020, drummer Murata Tamu was very emotional, just returning from having her baby. Mayu is singer, Haraguchi San is bassist.I love Nemophila, Band Maid and Lovebites equally, all three are so incredible. Try the song Raitei music vid, it has a thunderous banging finish.
Band Maid are incredible, love every song they do. Try songs: Manners, Onset, Moratorium, Blooming, Puzzle. Lead guitarist, songwriter Kanami is incredible. Kanami is right there with M and M from Lovebites, Saki, Hazuki from Nemophila, Merel Bechtold as my favorite guitarists today, right there with EVH, Slash, Rhoades, Olivia, Petrucci. For me Bassist Misa, and drummer Akane are superb. Murata Tamu and Akane are favorite drummers of mine.
Epilogue and Life both have me in tears, when I listen. Both songs are gut wrenching, heart wrenching emotional songs. Band Maid daydreaming does as well.
Heck yes Dexcore, please more from them 🤘😬🤘🔥🎌
Lovebites just beeing Lovebites!
I know you'll see this a lot in the comments. Different look, so it's easy not to recognize her. But her signature guitar "The Empress" gives it away. Saki shreds in both Nemophila and Mary's Blood. The girl is in demand! As to BandMaid, not every song can be your favorite. My favorite song of theirs is "Manners". I'm waiting on that one, but I imagine your list is long. Great Megabowl tonight. Looking forward to the next one. Whoa....just noticed....you're three subscribes away! I knew you guys would make it by Halloween.
You guys helped us do it!!!!! Thank You!!
Brewster
I LOVE how much you guys love DEXCORE 🖤🤘🏻 they are phenomenal
The final tribute to Prince at the end by Midori is a diamond on the five pointed crown of this girls!
During this pandemic, Lovebites had bitten me so hard (in a very positive way), their music is a light for me, the guitar tone, the song melody, the guitar solo, the guitar riffs, asami's voice, wtf.....they re 'goddesses', with due respect to the other bands in this mega-bowl, hands down to Lovebites. They re in diff level. Lovebites is my brkfast, lunch, n dinner.....🤘🤘🤘 go go Lovebites.
Haraguchi-san Haraguchi-san Haraguchi-san! Rio Rio Rio! Miho Miho Miho! MISA MISA MISA!
I thought i'd died and gone to bass Heaven !!
That must be the ladies bass fetiche , i understand , i love them all too and haill for the drummers , the best female drummers of japan are in this reaction , the only missed is Junna ( but Junna is a freelancer) 🤘🤘
@@arnaldotanta3630 if we are talking freelancers then Yoyoka is the best of all of them IMO (that coming from a huge Junna fan).
that's a bass dream team right there! 🤘🙂🎸
@@DavidMISAMISAMISACook yeah i mised that one too
When I first started going down this J rabbit hole about a year ago I checked out Lovebites Holy War and of course was like WOW, then I saw Band-Maid's Thrill and Onset and I started focusing on them, but I felt like I wanted to listen to something harder so I checked out more Lovebites and realized they are the HEAVY METAL CHAMPIONS and I became WOLFPACK! I also really like Nemophila. I'm glad Saki started them, while also being the best part of Mary's Blood.
This song from Nemophila was the first of theirs I heard and it was love at first note. The story behind the song is, it was written kind of as a welcome back to the drummer who had just come back after maternity leave. It ties them together not just as members of a band, but as family.
Another kick-ass tune from Mary's Blood is Marionette czcams.com/video/MLM2unV0kwU/video.html
I think one of the reasons Japanese rock and metal is not well known in the US is, the record industry in general, and the radio in particular, demand a certain format and length for the songs they play and the Japanese musicians are like fuck you, we will play what we will play. Like RUSH giving the finger to the industry with 2112. I've been on this journey since a friend from Tokyo demanded I listen to Band-Maid's Thrill back in 2017 and I can tell you, I'll stick by the Japanese bands over the industry all day long.
Some ppl call me a creepy old man because I gravitate toward the female bands, but if you take away their sex, age, and beauty and focus on pure talent, The female bands are so far above and beyond that I wonder sometimes if they are really from this planet. The industry is not going to let people outside Japan about these bands, so it is up to us, the fans, to support these bands and get the word out. They deserve nothing less. Sorry this is such a long read.
You said it best Lovebites is the Boss level band!! Miyako Goddess!
The guitarist SAKI from Nemophila is the same guitarist in Mary's Blood, she is a beast!
Fantastic Band Maid song, they rock hard!!
Awesome Mega Bowl!! 🤘🙂🐺🔥 1K congratz!
Thank You Jorge!!! Wopfpaaack! We did it!!

While I watch this, I see you've reached 1K ! Congrats. HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! HARUNA !!! 🤘🐺🤘
SAKI and HARUNA! Saki = beautiful ! Haruna = cute !
Thank You!!!!! You guys did it!!!!Now its time for more fun!

My favorite by NEMOPHILA. Thanks for checking it out. Subbed.
Mine too. I love when they all sing. So beautiful.
Awesome line up and 1K subs, was watching for this...Grats !!! OK, got to say putting Life and Epilogue head-to-head was brilliant. Both of those grab you right buy the throat and take your soul for a ride. Well done Brown Sugar and BDB !!!
People like to talk about Shadowmaker and When Destinies Align as the Miyako and Midori showcase songs but I think Epilogue is even a bigger showcase. How seamlessly Midori comes in with Miyako and then leaves again is perfection.
Agreed. This song took me to a good place. I absolutely loved it.
Brewster
I enjoy your mega bowl's a lot. This was an interesting song by Nemophila, very different from their usual stuff. Mary's Blood was pretty good too. As to Lovebites - Epilogue is very different from their usual stuff too, and they really nailed it. Some reactors have been brought to tears from the song. The message in the lyrics is phenomenal, too bad you weren't able to make it out. I am used to Asami's voice now so I heard every word crystal clear. She is a really great singer to be able to hit homeruns in both the fast songs and the slow songs and has such a beautiful yet powerful voice. Midori and Miyako really made those guitars sing. Amazing. And Don't Bite the Dust, is probably Asami's favorite song because she always smiles so big when singing it and has so much fun with it. A high energy song. The Band Maid song was pretty good. I liked the riff and the guitars. I just can't seem to get into their music as much as everybody else. And the last band, no comment.
NEMOPHILAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! 😎😎🧡🧡
Double header from Saki can not be a bad thing in the morning The lady is a phenomenal guitarist and a super nice person with it the first two are her main bands and she is playing her signature 7 string from Killer guitars .Nemo Life has a special meaning to the band as the first time they played it live it was the drummers first time back after having a baby so they all turned to her and played the song to her she was in tears as were the rest that video is also up on there channel .And Mary's Blood Saki has been with some 10 years they are a awesome band for a different flavour try R.I.P by them its got a punk/metal vibe to it .Saki is fast becoming a legend.
I came here for Band-Maid.
From Argentina, Congratulations, 1k subs \m/
Thank you Jaf!!!! Thank you for hanging out with us!
Brewster
DEXCORE AMAZING!!!!
Agreed!
Yes man.. this band, Nemophila..hell yeah
Right?? This band is Kick Ass
Nice selection. Congrats on your 1000. Life shows Nemophila's other side. Check out the official vid for this song. Please do a reaction to Nemophila cover of MTH song Shimi. Mayu is insane on that song . Can't stop playing it.
BAND MAID is a hard rock band, but it's a very diverse band. Listen to different types of songs.
1 Thrill : The first music video that saved them from dissolution. Classic rock 2014
2 Bubble : A tribute to the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, funky rock
3 Different
: First anime opening song, new sense of high-speed rock. Anime is Log Horizon 3rd season.
4 Daydreaming : Beautiful power ballad. Kobato's backing vocals and Kanami's guitar solo are wonderful.
5 Dice : Rhythmic hard rock singing women's independence
6 about us : A gift for fans who cannot meet in a pandemic. Beautiful ballad.
7 Freedom : A power rock that walks around the stage and conveys a smile.
The transition from drum solo to lead guitar is the best.
8 Manners : Declaration to create new hard rock while inheriting classic rock. Cool hard rock. Rock'n'Roll never die.
9 alone : The song they wrote, composed and released for the first time. Medium speed Hard Rock 2016
10 Secret My Lips and Secret Maiko Lips : Funky Hard Rock. A gift for fans of April Fool's Day .
11 Blooming : Vocals and chorus are impressive, and various types of music are fused.
12 RINNE : High-speed rhythmic heavy rock, inspired by the Japanese horror movie "RINNE : Reincarnation".
RINNE (Reincarnation) is also found in Eastern thought and Buddhist thought.
13 onset : Instrumental song for lead singer Saiki breaks, their great playing power and harmony.
14 Before Yesterday : Record of the first overseas performance, Sakura-Con in Seattle 2016. Melodic Rock with great lyrics.
Added ★ Peace & Love : Founder Miku Kobato's solo project. Pigeon saves the world. Funky pop rock.
Saki in both of her bands (Nemo & Mary’s Blood) is one of the most respected guitarists in Japan and as for epilogue by LOVEBITES this song was written by Asami herself both the music and vocals and this song always makes me cry like a fucking baby lol every time I watch it and yes Gary Moore is one of Miyako’s influences her Parisian Walkways cover is spot on and the midori solo at the end reminds me so much about ZZ Top ….LOVEBITES…..LOVEBITES….LOVEBITES ❤️☠️
I also had tears welling in my eyes after Miyako's first note on the guitar solo of "Epilogue".
My favorite Maids...they have something special...i love them.
By the way, congratulations, 1k subs!
Thank you S.G.!!!
THNAK YOU!!! AND CONGRATS TO YOU GUUYS AS WELL FOR HELPING US GET HERE!!!
BROWN SUGAR
Mary's Blood are probably the band that has the biggest gap between how good they are and how unknown they are in the U.S. I've seen them live and they absolutely fucking killed it. Goddesses of metal. Chalk it up to resistance by the US music industry and incompetance by the Japanese labels.
=Nemophila=
Screaming and broken cleans : Mayu
Very technical guitar : Saki
Guitar : Hazuki
Beautiful bass girl : Haraguchi-san
Lovely smiling drummer : Murata Tamu (Name is Tamu, nickname is muratatam).
That Lovebites song is one of my favorites, it feels really good when they put one of this ones in the middle of all the shredding in a concert. They have several other softer songs that I am afraid to rate which one is better because all of them are. You should also check Empty Daydream, Edge of the World, A Frozen Serenade.
What about checking out *BABYMETAL* one of this days? I would start with them with Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 or Headbanger at the Legend 1997 concert.
Thank You for the band names!
LOVEBITES - Don't Bite The Dust lyrics:
The rain keeps falling and falling
I am crying all alone again
Time is passing me by
Not knowing of what it's gonna be
But then I realized that I was only building my own wall
It's not too hard to find what's wrong
So I gotta stand up, bring it all together
This game has only begun
Can I only stay the way I am？
Breaking the silence in the darkness
I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in
I don't wanna bite the dust
All I have is a ghost of a chance
Never to forget what I've lost
I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna bite the dust
Even if it's me against the world
I'm gonna fight until I die
But then I realized that I was only building my own wall
It's not too hard to find what's wrong
So I gotta stand up, bring it all together
This game has only begun
Can I only stay the way I am？
Breaking the silence in the darkness
I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in
I don't wanna bite the dust
All I have is a ghost of a chance
Never to forget what I've lost
I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna bite the dust
Even if it's me against the world
I'm gonna fight until I die
I don't wanna fail, I don't wanna give in
I don't wanna bite the dust
All I have is a ghost of a chance
Never to forget what I've lost
I don't wanna fade, I don't wanna get lost
I don't wanna bite the dust
Even if it's me against the world
I'm gonna fight until I die
I'm breathing and alive

Thank you for another entertaining hour. Such a shame about the Lovebites block.
Nemophilia, have so much promise and I believe I commented this before that they are a younger and angrier Lovebites.
Mary's Blood, go back to around 2013 and prove to be an audio and visual treat. I hope you react to many songs from them.
The Lovebites, double bill provide relentless quality as always.
Akane's drumming in the Band Maid song is giving Haruna a run for her money 😄 For me, Band Maid are the best Japanese rock/pop band.
Dexcore, is not really my thing but they are excellent at what they do. The end of the song certainly catches you out. Scary stuff!
Thank you so much Glynthepin!!!! We appreciate that for sure!!! And I know!!! It sucks that these videos often get blocked, and what I am noticing is that the blocks are mostly coming from Japan from mgmt. I could put the videos that get blocked up where everyone can watch, but for me... that is cheating our BREWCREW/WOLFPACK that are hanging out with us over in Japan out of the footage. So I have a strict **EIther we ALL WATCH, or NONE of us watch policy!!!! I mean, we can all privately watch the videos, so it's a win for me in my book. They just don't let us react to it, and show you all the video at the same time. It's odd for me, but I guess I get it???... Hopefully we will all be able to watch the videos while reacting! I am holding on to hope for that for sure!
Nemophila is fast becoming one of our new FAVS for SURE!!! I love their passion and spirit! Not to mention the musicianship!!!! UGGHHH F'ING PHENOMS!!!! Mary's Blood TOO!!! I am SO HAPPY that we got turned on to JAPANESE METAL!!!! It is now one of my favorite things to listen to now!
Band_Maid are SICK AF ALSO!!! And wow... the drummers in all of these bands for me are TOP NOTCH!!! My ear as an ex-drummer (gonna get back to it someday soon lol) almost ALWAYS listens to the drums before anything else really... then the bass, then everything else that rounds the music out. It has always been a habit of mine to do so.
Dexcore is something special to me. I love everything about this band!!! I know it can't be everyone's cup of tea, just like some other things won't always be mine, but DUDE!!!... They have the IT Factor for sure! Musicianship, heaviness, growls from the pit (ahhhhhh) the clean vocals... the RIFFS... those beastly drums.. dude... I LOVE IT! Again, not for everyone, but that is ok. We all can't love everything the same. That would be boring! lol
Thanks for staying with us... more fun to come my friend!
Brown Sugar
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 There is a way around blocks called Link & Sync. It is not that difficult to do but it does mean people with iPhones generally can not watch as it means having to open two windows on the phone at once. It is quite easy to do with an Android phone and easy on a Windows PC or Apple Mac computer.
Since 2014, I have mainly followed Japanese rock/metal with respect to new bands. Prior to that, my knowledge of Japanese music and Japanese lady's had consisted of some obscure Japanese Jazz bands that a school friend of a friend was listening to and Deep Purple's album Made In Japan, and their song Woman In Tokyo. Yoko Ono was the only Asian woman I knew about.
Compare that to today with the statement it does not matter what you do, there is a Japanese lady who does it better than you. I borrowed that quote. Since 2014 where I have lived in the southern hemisphere, I can only wish I could turn back my own time and be in my early 20's. The quality of the lady Japanese bands musicianship and the way many of them behave, and their politeness combined with the enjoyment they ooze onstage when they play, would be manna from heaven compared to the bands I used to watch back in the 1970's. For or five disinterested guys totally self absorbed and looking like they are hating every minute of playing apart from the 'orgasm face' guitar solo. I know that is a generalisation.
Watching the various female bands from Japan and apologies for being crude but not only are you seeing and hearing fantastic talent but who would not want to pluck their pussy's the way they pluck their strings?
As you are an x drummer, you are spoilt with Akane, Haruna etc. It was Misa's bass playing that hooked me into Band Maid.
Thanks for your comments and good luck with your channel. Brown Sugar? Not so sure about the heroin name choice but I am a reserved Englishman! 😄
For me LOVEBITES up there than others.
My favorite BAND-MAID song these days is the live stream version of Manners, a bluesy mid-tempo rocker Stick around and Akane will take you on a trip into a Black Hole.
Awesome! Nemophila 《oiran》live next please! And guitarist Saki is also the guitarist of Mary's blood🔥💪
Congratulations on finally reaching the Epilogue.. I guess you guys didn't know that it was a 2 songs video.. That song "Epilogue" means a lot to me man.. Too bad the video got blocked.. Funny you guys only pause once on the Epilogue.. Tell me honestly, you actually cried under that sunglasses right? 😂😂
Hahahaha....yeah that song took me somewhere else man. That shit is AMAZING!!
Brewster
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 But I can still see some of the video via the reflection of your sunglasses, I guess u need a bigger one in case videos get blocked again.. 😂
The Ride for Vengeance version of Don't bite the dust has Midori doing her solo then it pans out and Miyako is in the back of the stage way up high like she's towering over everyone for her solo.
Yeah, sweet effect.
I was hoping they’d recognize Saki in the Mary’s Blood video, but when she plays with them she looks like a different person cuz of the different clothes and stuff
Did you seriously have a dream that made you play Mary's Blood after Nemophila not knowing that Saki is their guitarist? I would think that you were playing us but you barely liked it at first. Huh.
Yeah Girl! Feeling that Band-Maid Rhythm section!
Yeah that is no lie!! I have things like that every day in my life. Brown Sugar & I "see&feel things". So yeah did have the dream because I was supposed to play that one for some reason. No I did not know about the guitarist. We are still learning from you guys! Thank You for helping us. We greatly appreciate it!!
Well, I'm not a Lovebites fan ( but like the song from Halestorm, where their name is coming from ). Don't ask me why, it is not the quality ( they are absolutely talented ), I tried it several times, but it is not my stuff. But that doesn't matter, they have so much fans, they can't be wrong.
And that is leading to my real comment...thank god for the Rock music, either it is Metal, Hard, Ballads or any other.
You don't have to like everything, but the deversity of the different genres is neccessary, it would be boring if we didn't have it.
Thank you to all the bands, composers and writers. As long we have the music, life is beautiful.
Wow! Thank you for your words! True everyone will not like the same things, that's why Brown Sugar came up with the idea of the Mega-Bowl. Like one of our fam on here said, "It's like a listening party" That's how we want it to be. Thank You again for your words& hanging with us.

If you have never loved, you cannot feel the love from others
I will believe myself
We’ll never be alone
You will believe yourself

Be the one you wanna be, with your own melody
Just the way you are

Saki may have been another of those Destrose members that went on to other big bands also Mary's Blood has an ex Destrose member as well as Haruna and Miho of Lovebites.
All of Mary's Blood except the bassist Rio are ex-Destrose. Saki was in the 2nd Destrose lineup and after the two original Mary's Blood guitarists quit they snagged Saki away from Destrose, too. Destrose has a pretty amazing story for a band that only released one full album in 8 years.
Nemophila are my second favourite band even ahead of Band-Maid who are spectacular and unbelievable band. Lovebites on the other hand are the No1. on its own almost unreachable level. In my and many other opinion they are the best band in past 20 or so years and surely top 10 all time. Though out of the three Band-Maid are more popular as their musical style is more acceptable than the style of Lovebites or even Nemophila. As for Mary's Blood they are a darn good band as well as Aldious and Ghacaric Spin.
As for soft/pop rock/punk/ska/reggae style it is undoubtedly Scandal who started 15 years ago and coined the term J-Rock. Spectacular musicians as well, all compose, all sing and just legends.
Japan is just better in any musical style, even the J-pop and dance scene, though not as popular as K-Pop, more like completely unknown and hidden gem.
i can hear the Pat Benatar at the beginning, particular song is "Invicible" -right? constantly hearing little flashes of other singers, Mayu covers so much territory.... I hope they cover a Joan Jett song.....so many covers, if you haven't check the list of songs Nemophila covered.....fun stuff
Yo....I LOVE this Nemophila song! It puts me in a good place. I love Nemophila! They are quickly getting right there with Lovebites for me. Crazy Great band!

Nemophila's "life" is a very positive song and like you said make us felling good. Talking about of Mary's Blood, this is not one of my favorite songs of them, but this band had a lot of good, heavy and fun songs, I suggest to you listem to "world's end": czcams.com/video/CrTHVXZm_d8/video.html
37:00 BAND-MAID Warning! MV
Thank you so much sir 😁
you guys should check out sherdracers for more SAKI and omg give me some YUKI...here all day for NEMOPHILA.. GREAT JOB
Ha! This is such a weird Mega Bowl. You picked Nemophila's mellowest song, one of Mary's Blood's mellower songs (relatively), and now you're on one of Lovebites' mellowest songs. Band-Maid hasn't started yet, but I wonder if it's going to be mellow.
you know what.... that is all done by the spirit of metal my friend! We were going through songs we haven't done yet, and I chose those! Lucky coincidence
Brown Sugar
@@brewtalityfilmsllc4871 It was cool. Life is one of my favourite Nemophila songs. In fact one of my favourite songs, period. The official video (the studio version over the livestream footage) gets me all teary, in a good way. Anyway Band-Maid broke today's mellow theme (not mellow) and I don't think Dexcore do "mellow", but I could be wrong since I don't really know their stuff.
I like these Mega Bowls, especially when it's all-Japanese. Reason being, a lot of people watch reactions to bands who are the current trend, but ignore reactions to a lot of legendary bands, or just great bands who deserve to be more well known. Even Mary's Blood, who are probably the most popular all-female metal band in Japan (outside of Aldious who have a higher profile with the mainstream public due to being the first one signed to a major label) get pathetically low views compared to bands-of-the-moment. And forget about classic metal bands from the 80s who are still going (Ningen Isu excepted). Someone reacted to Valkyrie the other day, first reaction I've ever seen to Valkyrie. They were the first all-female thrash band in Japan, broke up in the 80s or early 90s, then reformed in 2015, and I swear only 3 people outside of Japan even know they exist, so the reaction got something like 90 views. Throw them in a Mega Bowl with Lovebites and Band-Maid, and they instantly get thousands of views, so I like the concept.
Also, Saki rules, so two videos for the price of one works for me.
Nothing wrong with mellow songs.
Didn't say there was.
Lovebites is in another league, all the other bands don't come even close.
would be cool if that Nemophila Bassist joined Lovebites to replace Miho
I was thinking that when we first heard the announcement, but I am not so sure about it. Everyone loves Haraguchi-san... no doubt. She could do it, but I wouldn't want to leave Nemophila in the position of having to look for a bass player.
@@TheCyberMantis yeah was just an idea lol
@@evilvolts We are all guilty of thinking about this from time to time. Who it could be. I think we all might be surprised, when it finally happens. All we can do is wait.
@@TheCyberMantis would be awesome if Miho changed her mind
haraguchi wont fit lovebites, she laugh too much, lovebites play more serious music than nemophila. imo misa more suitable for lovebites.
I am so very sorry that was very uncool of me.. add SAKI's BRIGHTNESS to the list with her nod to BABYMETAL... ok guess i'm done for now
