If you're going down the Japanese all female rock/metal band rabbit hole (which you should, because it is amazing), then you absolutely need to include the band "Lovebites". I can easily make the case that they are THE most musically talented metal band on the planet, male or female. They've released two music videos from their latest album which is as good a place as any to start. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m3uGjp-P7DI.html&ab_channel=LOVEBITES ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4ImGA7cPyrs.html&ab_channel=LOVEBITES Whereas Nemophila play a more modern "Nu-Metal" style, Lovebites have a sound heavily inspired by 80's classic metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer etc)
This is their latest original single. They have been around since 2019 but they are a supergroup so they have all been in the industry longer. Dissension Oiran live from Naon Yaon Revive Adabana Life That’s a start. Japan has a relatively huge all-female metal scene and they are all superb. Nem-O-fee-la
Nemophila is a great band of top tier musician/artists, with a one in a billion vocalists in Mayu.. lots of great originals and covers, and theyre always having fun..
@@RODRIEUROMANIAKO Babymetal is a special case. I really like them. But, at least for me, their heydays was 2010-2018, when they were young and also the original members. That's when all those crazy live Japanese concerts were made and (almost) all the good songs were written. Now they are grown ups and I personally see no big deal in what they do. The BxMxC, Pa Pa Ya and the Metali songs are very good. I have seen no crazy good live version of Metali yet. There is one for Pa Pa Ya.I am not sure for BxMxC. Moreover, Babymetal is an idol factory product. One sing and three dance and there is a backing band. The three girls do not write text, song or make arrangements of the music. When they were young they were adorable and I think they had some freedom to be themselves even if they were an idol group. And there was a very nice relation between them and their fans. But today? I would not feel like recommending them now. I actually saw them live a year ago and I did not see any signs of real enthusiasm. But, the old ones are insanely good.
With songs like this, Nemophila make sure that their RISE in the scene is unstoppable. 🔥🤘🏻 In general, what Japan has to offer in terms of rock/metal is the best the genre has heard in a long time. This is largely due to the fact that bands like Band-Maid, Nemophila, Trident, Asterism or Hanabie are not only extremely talented, but they also do not let themselves be pigeonholed. They are damn versatile and like to cross borders. The catalog of Nemophila has a lot to offer. Original songs like 'Oiran' (Official Live) but also excellent (and visually funny) covers like 'Walk' by the Foo Fighters. :) Greetings from Germany. ✌🏻 _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever. Forever!'_ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Manners' 🕊
Nemophila is a band formed by musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. They can do whatever genre they want, mayu has a rich voice to sing many kinds of music, and they do many different styles in their music. I recommend《dissension》or《adabana》as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
Song to listen to from Nemophila (Neh-Moe-Fee-Lah): "Dissension" (original version not the US/English version), "Oiran" (Live version), "Hypnosis", "Revive", "Seize the Fate", "Monster", "Raitei", "Hozuki", "Style", "Life", "Adabana", "Sorai", "A Ray of Light", "Now I Here". Short version of their history; Mayu (lead singer) needed a backing band for a one off show, she got her friend Haraguchi-san (bass), who knew Saki (guitar on the right of the screen) from before and recruited her, who knew Murata Tamu (drums) and Hazuki (guitar left side of the screen). They got together for the show, vibed and decided to make The Mayu Session into a full time band Nemophila. They formed in 2019. They all come from other bands so Nemophila is something of a super group.
You said the name right first time. They are metal and heavy af, but they're also a lot more: hard rock, rap, pop, more metal, pop-punk, more metal etc etc. Totally my favourite band at the moment. Women from Japan and Indonesia have made music interesting again for me and I am very grateful. Mayu: clean/scream vocals Saki: guitar (on our right) Hazuki: guitar (on our left) Haraguchi-san AKA Hara-chan: bass Murata Tamu AKA Tamu: drums Absolutely top musicians and they all sing backing vocs. Please check out more of their stuff. I recommend 'Revive', 'Adabana', 'Raitei' and pretty much everything they've done! They also have some great covers of songs by other bands on their YT channel.
Nemophila "baby blue eyes flower" - all-female J-metal band... More than 30 original banger songs, and around 40 amazing Western/Japanese covers (they put them usually on Friday...hence fans-favorite "NemoFriday"). 🤣 They are loved because the way they performed on RU-vid during the pandemic.

Another Story (ballad) 03. A Ray Of Light 04. Back into the wild 05. Blooming 06. Breaking Out 07. Change the World 08. Creature 09. DISSENSION 10. ENTEN - 炎天 - "Scorching/blazing heat/sun" 11. Fighter 12. GAME OVER (ballad) 13. Hōzuki - 鬼灯 - "Demon Light" - "Winter cherry" / "Japanese lantern" plant 14. HYPNOSIS 15. Life (ballad - their "official anthem") 16. MONSTERS 17. Night Flight 18. now I here (ballad) 19. OIRAN - "Courtesan" (their first original song, in 2020) 20. RAITEI - 雷霆 - "Thunder" 21. REVIVE 22. RISE 23. Rock’n’Roll Is?

SORAI - "Autumn wind" (was supposed to be the original name for the band) 28. STYLE 29. - 群青 30. Waiting for you 31. ZEN ________ - Another Story... written during the pandemic, with the purpose of lifting the spirit; not part of any official release or performed in any concert... but - according to Saki - "it's part of 'Yell to Art, Tokyo Project' (started by Tokyo Metropolitan Government to offer place for artists to upload their work...since all lives, concerts, events and exhibitions had been suspended, all venues had been closed"; you can find it on RU-vid, searching for "NEMOPHILA / AnotherStory" on this channel: アートにエールを!【音楽 1ch】. - Breaking Out, Creature, Ultramarine... not part of any official release, but they are performed sometimes in the concerts. - Blooming, Night Flight... released only on the official Nemophila RU-vid channel, they are performed sometimes in the concerts. ___________________________
Saw Nemophila live last month and they rock harder live. My favorite band right now is Lovebites, an all female japanese metal band who wear white dresses and heels and play exceptional music. Peace.
Welcome to Nemophila and the very diverse and awesome world of all-female J-Metal/Rock! Check out more from these ladies: "Adabana" "Hypnosis" "Dissention" "Seize the Fate" "Raitei" Can't go wrong.
Nemophila is one of the best metal bands going. They have not made a bad song so, I recommend listening to all of them. I also recommend another band. Saiseiga is a newer band that is not well known yet, but they are amazing. "Jumble" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2RhYV7adc7U.html
welcome to the rabbit hole called "Japanese all female Hard Rock Metal bands" , Nemophila , Lovebites , Band Maid , Hanabie , all world class , enjoy the ride
Two for two Chloe!! You may quickly discover the Japanese scene is full of such talent - you _have_ managed to begin with two of the most consistent up-and-coming bands. Nemo has some very experienced musicians that have started to tour since last year. Their tracks range from cute covers, rock and some heavier tracks, but always positive.
Follow the white rabbit: 【花冷え。】 - お先に失礼します。 (Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now) - Music Video 【HANABIE.】 LOVEBITES / Holy War [Live at Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020]
Their covers are really good too. They covered Forever by In This Moment recently and Mayu’s voice sounds incredible. As far as their original songs go, i like Raitei. Its a fast fun high energy lil song witj an equally fun music video. Deep dive Nem-oh-fill-ah, cause they never disappoint
Nemophila!!! My favourite heavy metal band!!! They are world class!!! Super talented!!! Thank you for reacting to them!! Next song I would recommend “Seize the Fate”, “RAITEI”, “ADABANA” and more!! They are fire 🔥 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lh-dVLKP314.html
No son solo 5 mujeres (con mayúsculas) son muy buenas músicas y además 2 de ellas , la batería y la cantante , son madres (2 hijos la batería y 1 la cantante , ¿Quién dijo que de que las mujeres no podían que ? . Thx , buena ración . Salud y Rock and Roll 😍🤘
Thank you for your reaction! 😊 "Keep your head up, and your face in the sun." (Nemophila) Awesome Metal band. The members made music seemingly for decades, but they founded this current band Nemophila in 2019. *Happy* Metal, with lyrics on finding your best way through life. Like the Japanese all-female Metal band "Lovebites", but rather "punky". Metal without regrets. Amazing.
Nemophila and Band Maid are great. Please, react to other Japanese female bands too, like Aldious, Brats, Gacharic Spin, Hanabie, Lonesome Blue, Hagane, Scandal, etc.
Congratulations on finding Nemophila, Great reaction. Like Band-Maid (not musically) but in that you can choose just about any song and you won't be disappointed!
They might look young, but these are actually well respected professional musician. The drummer, Tamu Murata, is one of the most sought after session drummers in Tokyo. She has played in projects ranging from Pop, Jazz, Prog-Metal and Rock. She also does music for digital media like anime and video games. She's a drum instructor and has also hosted a drum based program. Tamu is a multi-instrumentalist, and plays; classical piano, xylophone, guitar, bass and jazz saxophone. Saki, the guitarist playing the grey sparkly "Killer" model guitar, has been playing guitar for about 15 years, and she directly or indirectly, has been influential in the wave of exceptional young female guitarist and female metal bands gaining popularity in Japan. I think she's been in around (8) bands and at one time (3) simultaneously. What's incredible about her is, non of her playing sounds repetitive. Each different band or project has had their own style, and she has been able to keep her playing fresh and unique. Saki also created this project called World Guitar Girls Collection which was a showcase of some of the best young female guitarist in Japan. The other guitarist, Hazuki, she's playing the blue guitar, is a technical wizard. She's well trained, precise and fluid with her playing. Hazuki also has been in a few major J-metal bands/project, plus she's also a very talented graphic artist. Then the bassist, Haraguchi-san, is an incredibly creative composer. You will probably see a lot of request for "Adabana", which is a song she wrote and has middle eastern influences. All the other song's she's written are unique, out the box, and not what you would expect from a "metal" band. Finally there's Mayu, who has a unique voice that can range from beautifully soft to a harsh growl. It was she who got the band together. Mayu was looking for musicians to play with her in a one off show she was performing, and she started with bassist Haraguchi-san, whom she knew for school. They then contacted Tamu, who was a popular session drummer, and Tamu in turn contacted guitarist Saki, who she knew from professional circles. Saki then was able to recruit the other guitarist, Hazuki. All the ladies already had their own thing going on at the time, but after a few rehearsal, they felt they had a good groove together and decided to make it permanent. Thus Nemophila was born. That's just a short bio on the band. There's a lot of content from them on YT and all of it is great. These ladies are all accomplished professional musicians who will surprise you with each new song you hear. I would recommend mixing in some of their live content because they are incredible live! Either way, its well worth making it through their entire catalogue. Hope you enjoy.
Hello, you sound pretty knowledgeable. I just came across Tamu Murata’s subscription website, or salon. It appears to be sort of a specific Tamu fan club talking about everything, but of course in Japanese and a I’m a novice in the language at best. If you are familiar, I have some questions. Thank you.
@@michelm.6033 I've created a playlist of a bunch of Nemophila content I found on YT that's mostly English captioned interviews, bts content and band member projects outside of Nemophila. There's close to 200 videos and counting and here's the link. ru-vid.com/group/PLg0XTTqh612tAHmZRwyVxKQtMoAAOy7UB Feel free to share it with anyone else, and I'm happy to try and answer any specific question you might have. I honestly just recently discovered Nemophila, Japanese music in general, and imo its the most creative scene happening right now. I remember when Marty Friedman, one of my favorite guitarist, quit Megadeth and moved to Japan for "pop" music. Everyone thought he was weird and crazy to do that. 20 years later, through YT I'm finally able to understand what he meant. I've been playing guitar casually since the late '80s and always been a lover of music. I find what's happening in Japan so interesting because not only is it fresh and creative, the composer are also very young. Its not only metal, there are a lot of pop, funk, and jazz players too. And make not mistake, these aren't kids going through some garage band faze. They are educated professional musicians. There's also this couple degrees connection between them, and everyone gets along. Its like everyday I'm discovering someone new and extraordinary. Anyway, sorry about the ramble. Enjoy the playlist and I'll be happy to attempt to answer any direct question you have. I might even be able to direct you to a specific video within the playlist that has your answer. Also, if your interesting in any other genre, like drummers, instrumentalist or something else, feel free to browse my favorites on my channel. I have a few Japanese bands and musicians mingled in there. I was in the process of creating a dedicated playlist for Japanese artist, but it grew too large so I'll need to break it up. Enjoy.
@@BulletProofSoul1029 Thank you for the detailed information, link and all of your hard work. I first found Japanese music in late 2019 through Babymetal, which has now led me over 20 different bands. I went of Japan last January for a long weekend to see Babymetal and have 3 tickets for this fall so far. I followed Nemophila through three cities and all of their online performances. I watched Band-Maid last fall and should see them again in May. I’ve unfortunately not had the opportunity to see Lovebites. I’ve also seen Atarashi Gakko and Wednesday Campanella live. My specific question is if you know how long Tamu has had her salon website, if they take US credit cards (I generally have to use a pay service for things directly from Japan. I’ll post the web address to Tamu’s website in a second post as RU-vid isn’t always friendly with links. I will definitely check out your link and spread the word. Thank You.
@@BulletProofSoul1029 WOW! I subscribe to Tamu’s RU-vid channel, all the musicians Twitter accounts, and searched out many interviews and such. You actually have a lot in that link I’ve never seen before. Thank you again for the knowledge and hours of entertainment.
@@michelm.6033 The only page I know outside her personal YT channel is her blog. I'm not aware of her salon page. Have you tried Reddit? There's a lot of Nemophila information on there, the problem is finding exactly what you want, at least that's what I've experienced. Sorry I wasn't able to help you with that...I did try to see Nemophila at SXSW this year but couldn't travel due to weather. It sucked. I actually knew about Baby Metal before doing a deep dive into J-Metal and Japanese Music. I saw them around 5 years ago at Rock On The Range in Ohio. Its was actually a pretty good show, at lest the bits I can remember🙂
Las mejores sucesoras de SHOW-YA, 1banda femenina de heavy metal japonés y madrinas entre otras de Nemophila, Mary's Blood, Gacharic Spin, Scandal, además organizan y producen el festival anual sólo de bandas femeninas Naon no Yaon desde 1987, echa un vistazo a Fairy y Kurenai ambas canciones con Nemophila (Kurenai sólo Saki y Hazuki, guitarristas) Gambling, Shooting Star, JAM, Emotion, Look at Me, Genkai Lovers, One Way Heart, Battle Express, etc
Wait till you hear Hanabie scream at you about how much they like pastries (Hanabie - We Love Sweets) or hear Unlucky Morpheus and their heavy metal violinist, yes, you read that correctly (Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram) or the other all female Japanese Metal bands, Bridear, Doll$Boxx, Mary's Blood, Fate Gear.
The female metal scene in Japan is absolute fire...Mary's Blood, Saiseiga, Aldious, Little Lillith, Lisa X, Hanabie, Lovebites and so many more. Be very careful jumping into this rabbit hole, it's deep and ridiculously talented... From Nemophila, take a look into the tracks Oiran, Revive, DIssension, Zen, Enten, Sorai and especially their signature power ballad Life. Great work, keep it up!!
And if you want something a bit quirkier, although outside of metal proper, Gacharic Spin is a brilliant band, their song Mindset is as good as music gets.
Gotta do love bites, Hanabie, yousei teikoku, KAQRIYOTERROR, Denkare, Candye syrup, NECRONOMIDOL, TELECiDE, MUTANT MONSTERS, EGOIST, Mary's blood, DracoVirgo, Fruitpochette, BAND-MAIKO, Apocalypse by salt dog. just to name a small handful from my Spotify history 😅 not all of them exclusively all female metal bands but a good portion with female leads and female soloists
Another all female Japanese metal band I think you’ll like is Lovebites. They rock hard and sing all in English. Latest track is called “Stand And Deliver (Shoot ‘Em Down)”. Give them a go. You won’t be disappointed! 🤘
There's quite a lot to get through with this band considering that they are only about 3 years old. The live version of Sorai is a lot of fun and a lot of hair. Do look at a band called DIH from Korea and their song BREAKOUT they are another all girl band and so is Hades try their song Bring it on.
Well if you are starting down the all female Japanese metal bands hole you have a long way to travel. Nemophila is a super group composed of great musicians who have been around quite awhile. They look and sound like your more typical metal band but the level of musicianship is world class ( that is the only way to survive the J/Metal scene). Lovebites is another of the best examples and if you want try Scream for Me LIVE to get a taste of the insane talent in the band. Other great bands await but be warned those of us who went down this rabbit hole before you have been in it for years with no end in sight with the talent coming out of the Japanese music scene.
Ne-mo-Fee-La. Mayu has at least 100 voices. Saki, you're right, is one of Japans top guitarist and Murata Tamu, drums is an unreal drums and is in demand as session drummer. By the way, did you notice that Saki and Hazuki are playing 7 string guitars. There are 200+ Rock/Metal bands in Japan with about half are all female. Next - "Sorai" & Seize the Fate. New Lovebites - "Holy War" & "Swan Song" with Chopin Etude. New Unlucky Morpheus - "Black Pentagram" & "Angreifer" you'll love Jill! Have Fun
I really like their song "Style" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kDaezMfprq0.html&ab_channel=NEMOPHILA It's a very groovy Nu-Metal track. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I love it.
Nemophilas best song in my opinion Adabana Music Video, Revive Music Video and Seize The Fate Music Video and they also do covers here are some of their best covers Linkin Park Given Up, Babymetal Megitsune, AC DC Whole Lotta Rosie, Iron Maiden Aces High, Iron Maiden The Trooper, Skid Row Youth Gone Wild and Foo Fighters Walk please react to all of these and please let me know what you think
Memophila is a Bad Ass group, they put out very often songs of their own and high quality covers too...I recommend you the song ADABANA...regards from Chile...
Japanese metal/rock scene is fire, especially the women groups. Try Lovebites next ( HolyWar, Thunder Vengeance, Judgement Day, Stand and Deliver- hell all the catalog), More Nemophila (Dissenion, Revive 1st) and then for a WTF moment try Hanabie (Neet Game, We love Sweets and Pardon Me). More Band- Maid will not disappoint either. The Japanese rabbit hole is deep.
