Musicians react to hearing NEMOPHILA / ZEN [Official Live Video]! 

Tamu wasn't just a RU-vidr. She hosted a drum based program, toured Asia giving clinics on drumming and has been a Tama endorsed musician for years. Before Nemophila she was one of the most sought out session drummers in Tokyo, playing on projects ranging from Jazz, Pop, Prog and Rock. She's classically trained on the piano and also plays sax, bass and guitar. She once auditioned for a spot on a "making the band" project created by Maximum The Hormone, just as a way to meet the band for her show, and the band was shocked and honored that the "real Tamu Murata" was in front of them auditioning, especially Nao Kawakita who was humbled to hear Tamu was inspired to pick up the sticks after realizing it was a girl playing drums for MTH, and they even joked Nao was now famous and that revelation should be added to her Wikipedia page. All the ladies of Nemophila were accomplished musicians before forming the band. Hazuki is an Ibanez endorsed technical wizard showing Vai like chops on her Ibanez promo videos. Saki has been a major player in the Japanese metal/guitar scene for over a decade and is the only musician with a Killer brand signature guitar (Killer was co-created by Akira Takasaki of Loudness and distributed by ESP). Haraguchi-san is an extremely versatile song writer, showcased in songs like "Hypnosis", "Style" and "Zen". The ladies of Nemophila are all professional musicians who just happen to enjoy playing metal. As far as "Zen" goes this video is a lot more raw than the studio recording imo.

NEMOPHILA new cover songs Sic(Slip Knot), Stuck(Limp Bizkit), SUGAR(SOAD) live, Master Of Puppets(Metallica).... Not even one in the crowds holding hp and recoding their live... Japanese crowds in any Bands live shows does not holding a single hp...

HARA's capstone composition and my favorite off SEIZE THE FATE album. ZEN just slightly edging out SAKI's masterpiece ENTEN.

👏👏👏👍😁 Thank you so much for your amazing and obiously appreciative reaction! 😂That's the way it's gotta be, if you relish Nemophila! 😁 This live version is an amazing piece of *flawless Punk Metal* , in my opinion. (And I even do not care at all, if that is the right expression for that style.) 😂 *Hell* of an awesome sound! And I am not even a fan of that style! But it is brought to us by Nemophila, and that is enough to relish it. And if you are in love, there are no rules. 😁 Keep on relishing and appreciating excellent music! 😊🐺💮

Yeah, this one isn't poppy, lol. This song just kicks butt. 🤘🤘. They have done a lot of covers . Another recent one that you didn't mention is Pantera's Walk. And a couple Iron Maiden covers are older, The Trooper and Aces high. And more originals, try Oiran (official live) or Raitei (music video or official live).

🔥🔥🔥 i recommend《oiran》live(recent upload) as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

Try checking out Nemophila A Ray Of Light for more brutal goodness

you need to thank Haraguchi-san (the bass player) for this one. she wrote this song ! and thats her "HEY" at the end lol

It's defiantly a zen song, the bassist, Haraguchi-san, wrote it so she could have a song to meditate to.

Be sure to watch the recent live versions of REVIVE, SEIZE THE FATE, and OIRAN. NEMOPHILA have made dozens of cover song videos. Their covers of Japanese songs are far more interesting, and they offer an introduction to many other great bands that influenced their music. My favorites include: ONE NIGHT CARNIVAL (KISHIDEN) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S4Eu59fIysM.html ) - DON’T SAY LAZY (K-ON) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EqSWOLsSj7Q.html - (this one has translated lyrics - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3RpH4kF3hiU.html ) GOLDEN GRAFFTY (ROTTENGRAFFTY), where MAYU does the work of two vocalists - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xNipNp4UkVY.html And also multiple songs by PRINCESS PRONCESS, SHOW-YA, and X-JAPAN. All of these cover versions merit back-to-back comparison with the originals.

Yes Saki has a Killer guitar! *-)

You will be both happy and sad to hear that when Mayu was asked what direction her band would take in the future had a reply. "Are you guys going to do more hard harsh songs or more ballads and softer songs. Mayu simply said both. Band-Maid and Lovebites share similar ideas. They refuse to be pigeonholed into just one genre which ultimately limits the artist. My three favorite bands working today are Band-Maid, Lovebites and Nemophila. Their presentation and music are unique enough for each band to shine individually. I would love a tour with the three acts but Lovebites is just coming to the US for their first time next year at Prog Rock. Also Band-Maid and Nemophila are signed to Live Nation while Lovebites is not. Like Miku says the goal is to take over the world with music. And since the world is a huge place naturally you are going to see a wide range of songs and stylings from all three.

The Sugar cover is excellent!

I like Nemophila cover of Sugar from the RU-vid Free concert 23/10/1 at 9:00 in. It is the performance that inspired them to release a more polished single with edits on Friday the 13th. The "RU-vid live free concert 23/10/1" is more! more raw and aggressive the single is for your mom. 😊

Welcome back guys.. Do some more they are just getting better and better...

El pelado habla mucho y no dice nada.... Malisimo reaccionando....

Did they release that Pantera cover yet? I remember seeing a short but haven’t seen anything since.

There is a constancy and repetition in this song that is like a mantra being repeated to aid concentration...a sort of heavy metal 'meditation'.

Its a classic killer Nemophila track and having seen this live (with Yukina from Hanabie joining in) its very close production wise to actual live sound. Except they were ridiculous LOUD.😆

really a killer performance from them all. and a great reaction.

日本から ネモフィラ、ありがとう！

🐕hey chris hey sam 🐕they are awesome

The lead vocal is a witch..🤘💀♥️

The best song they do.

Love this song! it is my 2nd favorite song, Rollin Rollin being my top favorite.

The NEMOPHILA ladies bring it live. They are talented, beautiful, and badass. NEMOPHILA is the only band that has songs on all of my playlists. 🤘🎤🎸🥁🔥

They have become one of my favorite metal bands

Sounds like an Offset Era song... Love it!

Nemophila 🤘🔥🔥❤️❤️

Want is that? I don"t like this band. Guys if you want to hear the best band in the world check Band Maid!!!
