Continuing to enjoy your journey here Rollen. Nemophila (Neh mo fee lah) was just getting traction when Covid hit. They've done a fantastic job with all of the covers and Livestreams getting them name recognition around the world. They are performing at the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood in July, and Sacramento in October this year. I think they are hoping to get some extra tour dates between now and then to expand their schedule. I hope so, and I hope they come to Houston, so I can see them this year as well as Band Maid this October.
Nemophila has lit the Japanese music scene on fire. Not too many bands can boast that a record store imported CDs just so they can have something on the shelves to sell but Tower Records Japan did that for Nemophila. Their 2 man Zepp series in June is a testament to this by getting well established and even legendary bands to do shows with them. Having MUCC, Kishidan, Rottengrafty, PassCode, and the legendary Loudness agree to 2 mans is amazing.
@@brandydynamite5877 You know it BD. Keeping my ear to the ground for another announcement stream soon. English REVIVE release and a US Tour in July. SAKI has got to be trying to line up a couple more dates while they are here I'm hoping. Knowing this band, they have more cards up their sleeve 🤘😁🤘
Nemophila always delivers. Their songs are diverse in style but all phenomenal. They’re all world class musicians and Mayu is a legend in the making. That lady can sing anything well and absolutely emanates charisma. I recommend Revive next or Dissension if you really want something heavy.
Along with Revive, this is my fav Nemo track. The last couple of years have been shitty for everyone, but these ladies have been the light at the end of the tunnel ! 🤘😁🤘
They'll be at the Whiskey a go go in L.A. in early July. It's said she will be doing some English version's of their song's then. We need a Lovebites, Band Maid and Nemophila combined Concert Tour here in the U.S.
"neh-mo-FEA-la" 😃 the band is young and still on the rise. but they also are some kind of supergroup. impressive musicians. pure joy while playing. saki (with the "killer" guitar) is already a musicianlegend in japan. drummer tamu is drummer royalty in japan (that means something, right?), also mother of two daughters. she also plays keyboards, bass, even guitar too and has the best smile. singer mayu, guitarist hazuki and bassplayer haraguchi-san, they all are awesome. thank you for your fine reaction.
I always enjoy your reactions, these ladies know how to bring it! This is probably my favorite original track from them. Their name is pronounced Nemo - Feel - Ah. 😉👍
Gran canción de Nemophila, con este tema me di cuenta que esta banda no es cualquier banda, y que llegarían a lo mas alto del metal! gran cantante y músicos de primer nivel, extraordinarias! gracias amigo por compartir a Nemophila mi banda favorita. la baterista Tamu es un comentario aparte es espectacular impresionante 👌 y mi favorita de la banda ! 😎🤟
Incredible band , love them. Try songs Revive, Hypnosis, then Life. They formed in sept 2019, as a project for singer Mayu. Realized they loved playing together, did a live show right before pandemic hit. Drummer Murata Tamu was pregnant, so early 2020 she had time off, After they did Oiran, and Trooper cover. They did a full audience live concert in January this year. But their videos are allfrom live streams, or studio.
The song title is pronounced "ra-eye-tay" and means thunder, seems appropriate with the seven string guitars, rumbling five string bass, mayu's raspy vocal delivery and Tamu's drumkit. Without the hyperbolic praise/touted supergroup elements that a lot of western fans fall victim to on here, I'll try to fill in some more background. The name Nemophila is taken from a type of blue & white flower. They have indeed made a lot of progress in a relatively short space of time, but this is as much down to understanding how to market themselves online during the pandemic to raise their profile (covers/uploads used to be roughly fortnightly when touring/gigging in Japan was impossible) and close relationships with established artists through their prior/other work giving them opportunities (much of the all female j-rock/metal scene are quite close knit and there's a lot of musicians who've played in multiple bands). Saki (guitarist with painted Marshall halfstack on the right) has the most established prior presence (though musician legend is stretching it), as she's been playing professionally in bands for over a decade now; most notably (until they recently went on hiatus) for the band Mary's Blood (who had toured internationally and achieved moderate domestic success commercially), who were formed from former members of Dextrose (a band who had 19 different members over their run and spawned multiple other bands, including what became the rhythm section of Lovebites). Saki's also got a project with former Dragonforce member Frédéric Leclercq called Amahiru. She has a long term relationship established with Keiko & Sun-Go (singer & guitarist respectively) from Show-Ya (actual legendary 80s Japanese all female rock/metal band, who are godmothers of much of the current scene). This is in part through frequent participation in their long running women performer only festival Naon no Yaon. Tamu Murata the drummer had established her reputation more as a session player and support musician, touring for several other bands over the years. Her background is equally jazz fusion/prog as much as hard rock/metal and she has many connections within the industry. She's also a bit of a maternal figure toward the younger members of the band as she's literally become a mum since starting the band, now balancing her career with having two young daughters. The singer mayu previously played with rock band Lipstick under the moniker Sindy and Nemophila was initially meant to be a one off live covers session in 2019 for her after leaving that band, but gelled well enough to become a permanent thing. The other guitarist Hazuki previously played in mid-level band Disqualia and also is the second guitarist for the band of teen shred prodigy Lisa-X (who's 16-17 now but been uploading crazy covers and the like for years, also having played with Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman & Kiko Loureiro). She has a metal/fusion background, including being a big fan of Arch Enemy. The bassist Haraguchi-san has the least prior gigging experience of the group, but has known mayu since high school and was the first to become involved due to their prior friendship.
Nice reaction. Nemophila is amazing. Just released their first album back in December and it is a damn good album. This song RAITEI is an awesome song I would say one of my favorites from them but they are all my favs :) I see up to now you just done their covers. This is your first original from them? Great choice and this just scratches the surface. You have not even heard her banshee scream yet haha. If you Keep watching some more of their originals. I have a feeling you will really enjoy. :) One of my best favs is them live NEMOPHILA / OIRAN (NAONのYAON2021). Mayu can scream and if you listen to the studio version you can bet she can do it live too. I watch their live stream concert back a couple months ago and they really kicked ass. They are all very talented.
Not really a metalhead, more of a rock hard rock classic rock kind of guy. But these ladies have changed that for me to a point. They seem to include occasionally in some of their song. Sort of a pop sound with very melodic hooks, in their choruses. Kind of what Band Maid does with their songs with the hard rock format/genre. Nemophilia IMHO, does the same thing with metal. Because I am more of a hard rock, rock kind of guy. I do enjoy their covers probably a tad bit more than their originals. But all of it is good. And have you ever seen a band with two more technically gifted gorgeous guitarist ? And another thing just like Band Maid. Their chemistry is undeniable as well ! Band Maid my favorite rock group today. And Nemophilia my favorite metal band today. Not that bad of a combo. Keep up the good work stay safe and be well !
Your t-shirt reminds me of when I was younger and had a chance to choose my own title on business cards for a start-up software company. I had them printed as "Mental Hygiene Officer - because a mind is a terrible thing to wash".
I totally love this band and I went off and boughttheir first 2 EP's Raitei and Oiran been looking to but the first album Revive even though I already heard all of the songs but I want it! I too started with all of their covers and they were all amazing but I prefer their original music.
Tbh, if you have a choice between a Nemophila MV or Live, I would always choose the MV... Don't get me wrong, they are great live, but their live stuff that's available on CZcams it's just not of the highest quality! Probably their best live is "Oiran" at NAONのYAON2021 Just wanted to point out that they are called NEMOPHILA, there is no "I" between the L and the A :D I also made this mistake for months after I first discovered them ahahah Nemophila also did a bunch of covers from Japanese metal bands, like 1 from BabyMetal (Megitsune) and 2 for Maximum the Ormine (Shimi and Zetsubuo Billy), plus some classic X-Japan!
My favorite is still the in-studio demo version of OIRAN: czcams.com/video/eyb2NtPwcxc/video.html MONSTERS has their best and most melodic breakdown. Everyone will tell you to watch DISSENTION and REVIVE- not to be missed. MURATA TAMU plays a custom blue and white TAMA kit (she has an endorsement deal). Can’t wait to see them in LA. There’s no “i“ at the end of “Nemophila“.
Nemophila flowers are white and blue. "雷霆-Raitei-" is the meaning of intense lightning in the ancient language of Japan. At the end, please shoot on lightning.
Brano bellissimo,dal riff accattivante.A livello tecnico queste ragazze sono a dir poco mostruose,la cantante è ottima e la batterista poi...cioè...vogliamo parlare della batterista?Stile e tecnica sopra la media,deve avere dei muscoli niente male...🤪
Dude you blew it, you had the live feed of the concert and when you stop ped it youy lost it. We could be watching it right now if you would have just left it on. Too bad you didn't know what you had. Where ever you got it. Have them resend it.
@@RollenGreenRants In your defence, it's something absolutely all Americans do. I have 15-20 American friends, and not a single one of them can read properly. :D I've also not seen a single American pronounce Nemophila correctly the first 5-10 tries.
I might have been talking to people who watch all the reactions. I reference things from the whole day and put them into every reaction - I'm the first person to tell you this is not a channel for everyone. To say I'm all over the place is an understatement! Just trying to have fun and find new music, no disrespect to any fan every intended!

When a reactor reaches the end of a video and then just starts it over from the beginning. No apologies needed. We're right there with you!
Dissension and Revive next, all of their originals are fire!

Heads up they were formed during COVID so all their live stuff is from streams. The best live performance is OIRAN.
The goddess behind the drum kit is Tamu. She is the reason that I discover Nemophila, and I am eternally grateful for that! What a ride it has been! 🤘

I enjoy when they drop covers as much as when they drop originals. Because they are both entertaining and fun.
THUNDER ⚡ this track rips. Hardest working band out there and it's paying off in spades. 🌸✨🌠
They put so much into everything they do, they deserve to go right to the top !

Good reaction, pronounced ne-mo-fee-la.
Extraordinary Excellence❤️🔥💯😉👍
LOL finally got round to it we told you there originals are where the gold is well done you there the best new band for years .
Yeah, these girls rock! By the way, the name is Nemo-phila (fee-la).
Love Nemophila. Maybe it's time you to check out Hanabie - 'We love sweets'🧁🌸🎌🤘
Tbh, if you have a choice between a Nemophila MV or Live, I would always choose the MV... Don't get me wrong, they are great live, but their live stuff that's available on CZcams it's just not of the highest quality!
Probably their best live is "Oiran" at NAONのYAON2021
Just wanted to point out that they are called NEMOPHILA, there is no "I" between the L and the A :D
I also made this mistake for months after I first discovered them ahahah
Nemophila also did a bunch of covers from Japanese metal bands, like 1 from BabyMetal (Megitsune) and 2 for Maximum the Ormine (Shimi and Zetsubuo Billy), plus some classic X-Japan!
My favorite is still the in-studio demo version of OIRAN: czcams.com/video/eyb2NtPwcxc/video.html
MONSTERS has their best and most melodic breakdown. Everyone will tell you to watch DISSENTION and REVIVE- not to be missed.
MURATA TAMU plays a custom blue and white TAMA kit (she has an endorsement deal).
Can’t wait to see them in LA.

please next react 【Live】 NEMOPHILA / OIRAN (NAONのYAON 2021 )
It's cool buddy but it is pronounced Ne-Mo-Phi-La and you got the name of the song correct
Some great songs from them. Try their song Hypnosis which has a very different vibe.
Brano bellissimo,dal riff accattivante.A livello tecnico queste ragazze sono a dir poco mostruose,la cantante è ottima e la batterista poi...cioè...vogliamo parlare della batterista?Stile e tecnica sopra la media,deve avere dei muscoli niente male...🤪
if you like Pantera, as with there slower chuggy non thrashy stuff, try Nemo's "Hypnosis" 👍
Nemo-Phila. Like Phila-delphia the city.
it's a music vid not a stage concert, we don't need to see mics in front of their beautiful faces, only makes sense with singer
Please next reaction is Dissension and Monster,
A little coordinated color yeah sure okay Ange is definitely right but come on man use it while you got it I mean look what happens at 13:55.. 😊
Dude you blew it, you had the live feed of the concert and when you stop ped it youy lost it. We could be watching it right now if you would have just left it on. Too bad you didn't know what you had. Where ever you got it. Have them resend it.
I have the reaction when the live stream went off - it went off after the 3rd song for everyone I was told.
Who was that bass player😂
Still calls them nemophilia...
I'm going to stop that - Don't know where the extra letters are coming from - Bad with names - good with admitting I was wrong!
