That's Rina on vocals. Unfortunately, she was unable to fully commit to the group and continue in school at the same time. After it was announced that she would be leaving the group, the Li-sa-X BAND left Sony and disbanded. Fortunately they relaunched shortly after as KOIAI with Kotono taking over on vocals. Li-sa-X and Hazuki continue on guitars.
I've been a fan of Li-sa-X and Hazuki for awhile now. They are amazing. There is a reason Marty Friedman left Megadeth, moved to Japan, and became a Japanese... all those years ago. He KNEW. He could see the future.
Fun facts: Li-sa X is the the guitarist in the purple dress. The other guitarist is Hazuki from "Nemophila". At the time of filming this vid Li-sa was only 17 and finishing up High School. Li-sa is one of those child prodigy's that's tearing up the scene. There is videos of her playing/touring with Polyphia at the age of 12. She's been taught by some of the best that's for sure. Not to mention she has endorsement deals with many companies. Including Ibanez.
SEEMS LIKE HAZUKI DRESSES LIKE A LIBRARIAN WHEN SHE IS AROUND LISA X. AS FAR AS POPULARITY GOES A LOT OF WESTERN PEOPLE ARE JUST NOW GETTING TO KNOW THE TOP 5 JBANDS. I AM SURE LISA X BAND WILL GET TO BE HUGE. HAZUKI FROM NEMOPHILA AND THE SINGER MAKE THEM 100% AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION, 1RST TIME I HAVE SEEN IT!!! BTW, FOR A GREAT TREAT REACT TO 'YOYOKA" AT THE AGE OF 9 PLAYING LED ZEPPELIN ON DRUMS. SHE HAS DOZENS OF DRUM COVERS. I THINK IT IS GOOD TO GO BACK TO WHEN SHE IS ABOUT 9 YEARS OLD. THIS IS BEFORE SHE READ MUSIC AND JUST LEARNED SONGS ON HER OWN. THERE ARE VIDEOS OF HER AT AGE 7 THAT ARE REALLY CUTE. I THINK SHE WAS THE YOUNGEST EVER TO MAKE THE TOP 500 DRUMMERS LIST?
It was a great song that also surprised me when they released this song early this year. I loved it, but Lisa-X Band was Lisa-X band and didn't have much following and not a clear future. Already disbanded, rebranded. They are called KOIAI now, and they changed the singer. It was announced recently actually, like three weeks ago. The new singer, Kotono, already played a cover recently when they were still Lisa-X Band. And where does Kotono come from? She sang in one of this little idol bands that do Heavy Metal, Ironbunny. But we knew her before because she was together with Saya Hirai the first replacement for Yuimetal when she still had not left Babymetal but could not perform anymore, in 2018. Before they invented the avenger system later in 2019 with new girls. So yeah, Kotono was in Babymetal for some time. About this singer, Rina she's got a great voice. I hope she can build a career as a singer somewhere else in the coming years.
Sorry for the late reply, but just returned home. I really enjoyed this performance. Li-SA-X is a great band as will their next project koiAi will be I’m sure. Not to worry though, as with most Japanese groups, they really know how to manage their time and have side projects. If I had known Hazuki (the librarian) when I was smaller, I might have read more. They all kill it and Nemophila isn’t going anywhere, aside from up the charts. Take Care.
interested to see where the new version of this band with Kotono on lead vocals goes, check out this song, better representation of Kotono's voice. not the same vocals as Rina, I miss Rina, I hope once she's done with school she will emerge somewhere good. because those vocals are heart and face melting. so good. IDK how Hazuki can handle doing all that NEMOPHILA does and have a side project with Lisa-X at the same time. unreal. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dr9hQK60sk0.html (give this one a try, different but enjoyable imo)
@Michael Munno - The same way Saki had to balance *"Mary's Blood"* with *"Nemophila"* & the other 3 or 4 side bands/projects she's doing. Stevie Nicks had a successful side gig (her solo career) she did during a time Fleetwood Mac was touring & recording. Phil Collins (solo & Genesis) was another one.
@@kevinthetruckdriver353 yeah I understand that, I'm just admiring her tenacity and energy on top of her talent and kindness. it's just amazing to witness.
The vocalist left the band and Li-sa X cut her ties with Sony. However, they have a new vocalist and new band name KoiAi here's a track before they renamed the band ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZG24YVChKI.html
@@joelroadie np...not a fan of the band they were covering.... waiting for original stuff from them which I know will be better...but that's the only video they have out right now.
Joel - you're doing too many reactions ! 😂 It's got to the stage that you're not recognizing people when you've seen them countless times already - HAZUKI from NEMOPHILA here doing her librarian impersonation and you've watched Li-sa X before in the Guitar Girls 2017 video when she was about 12 Only teasing - keep the reactions coming they are really enjoyable !😉
HA HA, JOEL IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING REACTORS OUT THERE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HE IS HYPER FOCUSED ON THE MUSIC 1RST, AND ALSO CREATING A GOOD REACTION VIDEO. I LIVE FOR JBANDS AND STILL MISS TONS OF STUFF. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
