This was their public debut of OIRAN, during Covid lockdown (thus nobody in the audience; watching this still makes me sad). This concert is NAON no YAON 2021, a festival celebrating Japanese female rockers, held in the HIBIYA Park amphitheater in central Tokyo. The lady introducing them is KEIKO TERADA, leader of the original Japanese all-female Heavy Metal band, SHOW-YA, and the producer of this festival. You should watch the OMV for their big hit WATASHI WA ARASHII (I Am The Storm, 1989), then watch some live performances from the same era. NEMOPHILA have also created their own cover/tribute video of the song. There are two different versions of OIRAN that are even better: the original demo video shot in their studio, we we see them all up close and personal (and on guitar cams); and the most recent video (2023), in front of hundreds of adoring fans. Please watch both. SAKI usually is on the right side of the screen, usually playing her signature Killer guitar with the cherry blossom inlays as seen here. (She also has a red Strat-style guitar with a gold clockwork pickguard.) HAZUKI is on the left, here with the ponytail, often playing her blue Ibanez with the Tree of Life fretboard inlay.
the guitarist with the ponytail is Hazuki he is also part of another band calledKOIAI with the young and talented guitarist Lisa - x , if you want to check him out KOIAI - A New Picture , live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rX6SP5bQZH8.html
Hazuki is cute, technical, smiles a lot and is an Ibanez ambassador. Saki is more free form, super fast and creative, she writes of music a lot too. She’s also beautiful and geeky and goes by the name Chucky due to her love of horror movies. Oh yeah, she also has her own signature 7 string guitar from Killer as seen in this video. She’s stage left…
Hazuki is my spirit animal! I think she may have the strongest pony tail skills of anyone. Always glad to have an excuse for more Nemophila. Keep 'em coming!
Saki also "was/still is" in a band called Marys Blood (they are on hiatus as of about 1 year) and their song Marionette (Official video) has some great guitar work in it. Saki also has two singles called Germinans and The Empress from her latest instrumental album.
Hell yes! Oiran is such a killer song. Usually the closer at most shows. Even with Saki now gone and no dueling guitars it still kicks ass. Hazuki does her shredding and Haraguchi comes in with a bass solo now too also more drum fills. Was an amazing song then still is now. Their is a more recent live one too of this they posted last year and it is better quality. Try Zen live next or Adabana and RAITEI. Oh and Hazuki is the one with the ponytail.
Con esta fantástica canción conocí a Nemophila, fue uno de los momentos más agradables en RU-vid! Desde ese grandioso día no he dejada de seguirlas ni por un día,soy suscriptor 31 recuerdo bien! Amo a esta banda japonesa! Saludos amigo y gracias!😎👌
Yeah, I would recommend their newer live stuff. The mix is so much better. I saw these gals on their U.S. tour. This video doesn't do them justice, but it's popular because it's when when they were new and because of the annual event.
If you search youtube for *Ray lu nemophila whisky a go go* you'll find a playlist of their entire gig at Whisky a Go Go in 2022. Great gig and WELL worth checking out. 🤘
Not gonna nitpick as most reactors are overwhelmed by the music but the band it self answered your questions. If you watch the end of the video ( from 12:01 in your video Mayu introduces the band members pointing at them and the camera tries to follow) you're welcome! Not gonna tell you who is who because it's a so satisfying feeling if you find it out on your own! Feel the success! 😂
