This violinist Jill is so talented that she may be a world-class soloist for classical pieces.
She has covered Dream Theater and Malmsteen songs on violin in videos by "Quadratum", The second unit of Unlucky Morpheus.
I invite you to listen and watch her incredible superb performance on CZcams.
I guarantee you will be blown away!
Thanks I’ll check it out. I thought it was very unique to have a violinist in a band like this so I am very curious at what she can do.
She graduated from one of Japan's top art universities. She majors in violin, so of course she has very high performance skills, but piano is a compulsory subject, so I think she probably has the same level of piano performance skills as miyako.
@@junkgroovejunk wow that’s incredible because Miyako is unreal.
This song, Top of The "M", is the inaugural piece of the "M" trilogy. The "M" in its name stands for both Mahjong and Music. Not only is it filled to the brim with elements of Mahjong, a game that band leader Shiren loves, but it also conveys a strong intention to strive for the pinnacle of music. As a result, it's not only the composition and performance that are of high caliber, but the lyrics are also crafted with a high degree of skill and profound passion, giving the listener a multi-layered enjoyment. This song symbolises the commencement of the trilogy with a unique fusion of music and Mahjong.
Furthermore, the song Top of the "M" has been humorously parodied as Top of the "麺" (pronounced "Men", meaning "Noodle"), adding a whole new level of fun to the dynamic performance. Watching this video, you'll be struck by the sight of Jill, the violinist, jumping up and down in pure joy. It's also worth noting that at this event, sponsored by Nissin Foods, everyone in the audience was given a U.F.O., the most popular instant yakisoba noodles in Japan. Please bear this in mind when watching the video.
czcams.com/video/2wirMuMK7Ko/video.html
This performance was part of the one-man live show "EVOLUTION & DIVERSITY" held at Zepp DiverCity in August 2022, and it was released as a Blu-ray & CD product on 8 March 2023. However, the parody song, Top of the "麺", was not included in the product. This song, which was proudly sung as "the tastiest noodle...in other words, the Top of the Noodle", can only be fully appreciated in this video. Please enjoy this unexpected and special song.
Thanks for thr great info!
What does the east south west north part of the chorus refer to? Opposing players?
Individually, they are incredible musicians, and when performing together as a live band, their tightness and entertainment value are truly exceptional. I love going to see them live. They are so good‼︎🤘
Thanks for the comments! They are amazing.
Thank you for taking a listen to one of my favorite bands!
Jill, the violinist, is one of my favorite musicians. She's been playing since she was three, says she can't remember a time where she wasn't playing, and has perfect pitch. I would listen to Jill play anything because she can play anything. She has her own channel where, on rare occasion, she does lives. I once watched her play through the "Unfinished" album and was amazed at how beautifully she plays. Plus she's cute!
Shiren, the growler and occasional guitarist, started suffering from tenosynovitis, an inflammatory condition that affects the sheaths of one's tendons. It's an awful thing for a musician to deal with. He started showing symptoms in 2016, but before that, he was actually in the first version of Babymetal's backing band, the Kami Band. He only played one show backing Babymetal (the first show of "Live: Legend I, D, Z Apocalypse") and even then it was just two songs, but he was one of the first two Kamis on guitar.
if you'd like to see more of this group, the live version of "Black Pentagram" is a great one. Fuki, the vocalist, lets loose with her impressive vocal power and the video shows off a bit of their goofy side. Here's the link.
czcams.com/video/RUiRlUGMTwY/video.html
That said, my favorite song from Ankimo (that's what the band usually calls themselves) is "Unending Sorceress." It's a masterpiece of neoclassical metal. Here's the link.

Thanks for thr awesome info Pale Horse. You always have great comments. I put those in the list. Thanks!
JILL !!! JILL !!! JILL !!! 🎻🔥🤘
This band is awesome. They impress me with every their song. Every musician in the band is so cool, so professional!
You need to watch their live performances. For me they are even better than music videos. And of course I suggest you their live video "Black Pentagram" with awesome long violin solo!
Thank you for the reaction! More Unlucky Morpheus on the channel!
Thanks so much for the comments. They are amazing! I’ve got a few more in the list and I hope to get to them soon. Thanks!
Unlucky Morpheus was founded in 2008 by guitarist Shiren and female vocalist Fuki.
Shiren: Guitar, vocals, arrangements, programming
Fuki: Lead Vocals
Jinya: Lead guitar
Owawa Hiroyuki: Bass guitar
FUMIYA: Drums
Jill: Violin
Kasumi: Backing vocals, manager
Thanks!
great band with a huge catalog...
Jill on violin can play anything from van Helen’s eruption solo note for note - try their tribute of yngwie malmsteen far beyond the sun I know you’ll love it
Wow that’s impressive thanks Antony.
@@bobcieslinski Far Beyond the Sun (Violin cover) czcams.com/video/E2hZDzJp9Pc/video.html . It's part of the UM 'side project' *Quadratum* . There is a LIVE performance of them doing Van Halen's Eruption ( *Jill* on violin), followed by a cover of The Dance of Eternity (Dream Theater), with Jill doing Jordan Rudess' keyboard parts. czcams.com/video/XC2A1hbuLmI/video.html Jill was a 'prodigy' violinist with a metal guitarist brother. She chose Metal instead of Classical. It's hard to grasp her true talent without checking out the Quadratum project. Bassist *Ogawa* jokingly calls Quadratum the _'Jill show-off Project'_
After watching several of their videos multiple times, I would say Dignity of Spirit probably highlights all of their musicianship, so I would recommend it. Black Pentagram or Angriefer (which is German I believe) would be 2 and 3 :). Others might disagree, but really you can't go wrong with any of them :)
Thanks Guy!
some suggestion....you should try listening to Trident band....it's a japanese girl rock band....their drummer Nagisa is freakin awesome 🥰
Bob there are so many talented metal/rock bands in Japan but..........
Only 2 I have heard and I've been listening continuously now for years. Unlucky Morpheus and Lovebites are the top because of their songwriting talent and Jill and Fuki and Asami have the best voices ever.....
I could go on
Thanks Andrew for the great info. I can see why you like these bands. So talented.
Yet another Japanese rabbit hole Bob! Wait until you see them live, they're astounding. Knight of Sword (Official live) is highly commended.
Thanks yep they surprised me. I never heard of them. What a great group.
Great Video.
Just searched your page for a reaction to the Band Meute (to which you should react to btw) and found this great piece of entertainment. Thank you.
Thanks Martin! Send a link.
@@bobcieslinski
Meute is a german self-proclaimed Techno-Marching-Band.
I came to learn of there existence through CZcams and their cover of the Techno-Song you & me.
czcams.com/video/fKFbnhcNnjE/video.html
Another great Cover and quite new on CZcams is their Interpretation of awolnations Song sail. czcams.com/video/m4C58lmv1J4/video.html
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for your reaction! Unlucky morpheus is a very special band, their music includes speed metal, neo-classical, melodic death, metalcore and hard rock etc. This song is one of the 3 songs in the M series, The M series is their poppy style, but not their main genre, I recommend 《Black Pentagram》 live, 《angreifer》 live and 《phantom blood》 live as a reference, I recommend the live version because they can do it live even better than a studio.🤘🏻
Thanks for the comments and suggestions! I’ll check those out thanks!
A top band for me. My list of Top Japanese bands is long.
Jill, violin does a cover of Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" guitar solo that will astound you!!!
Wow I’ve got to hear that. I loved Van Halen.
Hi
Hi
Congrats on finding Unlucky Morpheus-one of the best, most creative bands in the world today. They remain independent by choice, in order to retain complete artistic freedom. They started off in 2008, focused on making soundtracks to video games and anime. They went through a lot of different stylistic phases, but the big transformation was when they brought Jill (violin) on board. Like many Japanese bands, they sound incredibly clean and tight live. My top suggestion for a live clip: “Angreifer” czcams.com/video/gGKWgM4IOgc/video.html
Meanwhile, amid the (justified) excitement over the Japanese all-female metal bands, we forget there are plenty of guys who throw down. Shiren, founder and one of the guitarists, also does the growls. Fumiya (Drums) is, as you saw, insane and inexhaustible-one of the best rock drummers in the world. Jinya (G) and Ogawa (B) are top-notch as well. Basically, this band is a technical monster. Fumiya and Ogawa also have interesting, “beast” personae which contrast with the “beauty” of Fuki and Jill. That contrast is a deliberate trope, similar to the “Beauty and the Beast” imagery of many European symphonic metal bands.
Fuki (lead singer) is a legend in Japan, and one of the busiest artists anywhere. She is also lead singer for UM, Doll$boxx, Lightbringer and her own ongoing project, Fuki Commune. Her style is very much out of the Japanese classical tradition, with the oversold vibrato and intense high notes. She collaborates with a lot of the top musical talents in Japan. Jill (violin) also has a busy dance card, including collaborations with Fuki and others outside of UM.
Jill is actually my favorite member of Unlucky Morpheus. I consider her the best rock/jazz/metal violinist in the world today, and probably the best since Jean-Luc Ponty. After Shiren (founder, original lead guitarist) started suffering from an injury that limits his playing, they rewrote a lot of his solos for Jill. Hard to come up with another violinist who could pull that off. Here are links to instrumentals featuring her in UM’s instrumental project Quadratum:
Cover of van Halen "Eruption" czcams.com/video/eTb0TQtVT6k/video.html
Cover of Malmsteen "Far Beyond the Sun" czcams.com/video/E2hZDzJp9Pc/video.html Cover of Dream Theater, played blindfolded: czcams.com/video/8eZVVtaOBKk/video.html
I saw UM live in London in 2019, when they headlined Metal Matsuri. Great show, and the chemistry between Fuki and Jill was electric.
Thanks so much for the awesome info and background of the members of thr band. I’ve got those links on thr list now. Thanks Hiawatha!
@@bobcieslinski Enjoy!
I absolutely ❤️ this band... LIVE.
In studio it sounds too compressed and flat for me.😯
Hello Bob, just arrived to support your channel.
I have seen you really enjoyed Nightwish which are considered "symphonic/epic metal"
What about one more step to check out "Tristania : Evenfall" to see how gothic influence works on it ? Thx.
Thanks Bela! I enjoyed your movies as a kid. I’ll add them to thr list. Feel free to send a link for the one you want.
@@bobcieslinski Ah...!' You THINK they were movies....they weren't. ;)
Ok, then.....TRISTANIA are very good but I don't know if ok for your channel, THERION, instead, can have a pretty good success czcams.com/video/y5llR-7BE-o/video.html
Glad you found Unlucky Morpheus. *Shiren* started growling to contribute after he developed a problem with his wrists and couldn't play guitar for awhile. During that period *Jill* played his guitar parts on violin. Their Lives are even more amazing - *_Dignity of Spirit_* czcams.com/video/x7W9DcUKY_U/video.html *Fuki* is one of the most sought after vocalists in Japan, and she has recorded with over 70 different bands. She and Shiren started UM in 2008 as an Anime, video game cover band. They added more musicians (Jill, last in 2017) and started writing their own music. As a 'Teacher', you could *Blow Your Mind* with their song Cadaver/revadaC (think about it) czcams.com/video/_yrNRhIreyE/video.html (+ sheet music!)
Thanks for the awesome info! I got those in the list now. Thanks!
Next reaction VOB band Rock Trio Female 👉czcams.com/video/_LXGja3T4v0/video.html
Unlucky Morpheus is the best modern band (sorry, after Lovebites). I do not really understand why they so underestimated in Japan (not to mention abroad). They fit everything that the Japanese should care for in music and still haven't got so large fanbase. The last suggestion is that this music is so sofisticated that is not move the souls of masses. The similar issue is with Lovebites. Waggaki Band (my third favourite) seems more lucky, but still not as it should rightly be. May be the group should rename themselves to Lucky Morpheus to things change in positive direction.
My humble opinion, Fuki is the best female metal singer from Japan, bar none. Asami from Lovebites is great, but I feel Fuki is better. Fuki has vocal control that is out of the world. All the members of this band are Jedi level musicians.
I’ve just started to react to their music. So far it’s pretty awesome! Lovebites and Band-Maid are incredible too.
@@bobcieslinski iirc the founder of Band-Maid saw DOLL$BOXX's "Take My Chance" and used the æsthetics to form a band. and Fuki was singing for dolls$boxx at that time. small world :)
한국인 팬이라 한글로 적습니다
Unlucky morpheus 노래를 좋아해서 자주 듣고 있습니다
기회가 되신다면 czcams.com/video/gGKWgM4IOgc/video.html
이 노래도 추천드립니다.
Thanks I got that one on the list now.
Bob - if you enjoyed Fuki's vocals then it might be worth your while checking out DOLL$BOXX - where you can get the best of two world's - Fuki's vocals along with Oreo , Hana , To-mozo and Chopper from Gacharic Spin - what's not to like !
Thanks so much for the great info!
Garcharic Spin Mindset is a great song.
The name "unlucky morpheus" was chosen because the way it sounds to their ear is sort of like the actual name of the band, which is "Ankimo" (UN luc KY MO rpheus)
Thanks Hiawatha!
czcams.com/video/MfYx2Yg8imw/video.html - James Blunt, amazing voice!
czcams.com/video/ELKbtFljucQ/video.html - Paolo Nutini, amazing Scottish singer!
Thanks Kyle!
JILL !!! JILL !!! JILL !!! 🎻🔥🤘
