This song is dope 🔥❤️ And I love that they are shakin’ up a little bit the whole Metal genre. We old farts need that. Magical band 🔥 Lovin Nemophila ❤️
That concert. The crowd. The age group and the way they waved their hands forward showed they were once a part of the 1980's X-Japan crowd. They have found their music wonderland again 40 years later. Thats a good thing.
TAMU elevates this song to a resonance with me that I really enjoy. HARAGUCHI's bass line and then the tapping, really groovin' feelin that hard core, the guitar tones are sick, so crunchy and good and catch, nothing is overdone. there's a tribal feel to it, with such a happy vibe and then there's the vocals (Lead and backing) that are just so perfect. I almost NEVER enjoy screams, but MAYU is easily one of the best vocalists I have ever heard, especially live in person, amazing performer. She puts her heart and soul into every note. I love her style. This song is currently easily the one I have played the most from EVOLVE. awesome album, but this track man, hits me hard. love it.
I said it before and will say it again, but Mayu has been displaying some of the same sweet, precious goofiness of Band-Maid's Kanami. Maybe she's becoming more comfortable and her own personality is coming out.
Hey. John, I guess you liked this? Lol 😂 Great reaction to this awesome song.. Cross between Hypnosis and Zen.. Nemophila doing Nemophila stuff.. more of the same please..
The influences are there, Slipknot, Linkin Park and System of a down...and of course Nemo touch...tasty...very cool song...i like Alive from the album...please listen...
Ama-te-ras is the supreme deity of Japanese Shinto. And she is the goddess of the sun.Shinto has 8 million gods. They are the top five goddesses. Indian rhythms and melodies are fused with rock. Tam's talent is amazing.⛩️🙏🗾
On the stream this was taken from they didn't use that kind of slice effect to enhance the staccato section, and it sounded even better (IMO) than it does here with the processing they did in post. And from that crazy speed section near the end back to the party bit, and Mayu morphs instantly from metal demon to smol dancey person. Amazing song.
The title is the sun goddess of Japanese legend. Nemophila is the sunshine of metal. Bright, beautiful, life affirming. Hence the lyrics. Yes, there was an Indian influence. Hazuki had listened to Bloodywood not long before.
When the goddess Ama-te-ras hid herself in a mountain cave, the world lost light and went dark. Gods gathered together and made merry dancing to lure her out. Then the world recovered light.
This song single handedly fixes almost everything that has been wrong with the narrow mind of the (western) metal scene and fan base. I totally love this. It is modern, it's hard, it's sexy, it's dancy, it's not the same thing people have been listening to for 40 odd years.
great reaction and song. Nemophila still the all around best band in Japan IMO. Lovebites ,Hanabie,BabyMetal,Trident BandMaid etc. Like them all but Nemophila is still the one band I never know what to expect when they come out with a song. The one band IMO that cannot be put in a box. Not taking away from the other bands I enjoy them too but get more diversity in metal and rock with this band.
Deberías de reaccionar a su madrina, Keiko Terada vocalista de SHOW-YA(1981) 1 banda femenina de heavy metal japonés, organiza y produce el festival anual sólo de bandas femeninas Naon no Yaon desde 1987, por ejemplo Fairy, con Nemophila y Kurenai (solo Saki y Hazuki) del concierto que hicieron juntas en septiembre de 2022
Nemophila: We’re going to write a metal song about partying and smiling, and we’re going to put some middle eastern style in there, with a catchy chorus, oh…….and put a pseudo disco beat underneath it. Music industry: What? Nemophila: plays the song…….Mic drop! 😅😅
As much I like this song, I would have preferred a real live version: The video is from a live show, but audio is the studio version. I am not a fan of this way to put videos together :(
