Short biography: Nemophila is kinda "supergroup" . Singer Mayu comes from the band LIPSTICK and decided to form a jam band for playing live. She recruited her schoolmate Haraguchi-san ("Miss Haraguchi") on bass, and then they asked famous session player Tamu Murata to join them on drums. For guitar, they had the idea to ask the already star-status Saki (Destrose, Mary's Blood) and she agreed, but propose to get a second guitar player - Hazuki (ex-Disqualia). After the first concert, it was obvious for the five of them that they had to form a real band, Nemophila was born. During rehearsal, they recorded an Iron Maiden cover, and it was very succesfull on YT, and then their first single "Oiran". Unfortunately, it was just before the covid, so they were not able to play live for a long time, so they recorded tons of covers and their first album "REVIVE" (only originals). They are touring relentlessly since the covid's over and have two more albums.
As for Saki, Saki and Mayu have stated that it was a "mutual friend" who brought them together. They don't mention the name, but it was Ryo Fujio, who at the time worked among other things as a producer of the Naon no Yaon annual female rockers' fest. He was of course acquainted with Tamu too, as she and Saki both played NnY. He took an interest in Mayu after she left the band Lipstick and helped MayuSession/Nemophila in various ways in their early stages.
right!!! japanese bands from my little experiecne just hit so different, and from what ive seen from babymetal and band-maid there live shows are just next level and unmacthed
I suggest you complete the big four that makes Lars lock himself in restroom and weep for weeks. The next band is called Lovebites. But which song? Judgement Day? Break The Wall? The Hammer of Wrath? Shadowmaker? Set the World on Fire? All of the above? Let me introduce you to the drummer Haruna, a tiny Kryptonian nuclear jackhammer. But wait, there is more. A lot more. Hint: The M and M show. Fun fact: Members of Lovebites were in the audience at Band Maids 10th anniversary tour finale.
Nemophila is a Japanese Supergroup, originally put together by lead Singer Miyu to provide backup for a solo concert in 2019, but they immediately gelled so well that they decided to keep going and have been on fire ever since... note that not only does Bass player Hariguchi-san play what is becoming tbe standard 5-string for Japanese bands, but also duel lead guitarists Hazuki and Saki both play 7-strings... utterly amazing!
"What the hell just happened?" Nemophila happened. And they just keep happening: they never stop. Check out the MV for 'Rise' and the most recent live videos for 'Oiran' and 'Zen'. With 'Oiran' the most recent live is the definitive version IMO. Tamu Murata is an amazing drummer who also plays a shitload of other instruments. SAKI and Hazuki are the perfect 7-string guitar duo. As for Mayu, her voice is amazing. She does killer metal screams and growls, raspy rock, beautifully clean ballad vocals and cute af pop vocals. Tiny woman, huge power. Bass player, Hara-chan was always a good, reliable pair of hands but she is developing into a really great bassist - and her tone is always perfect. These Japanese bands are why I really don't bother with western metal anymore. This is where the fun is.
My favorite metal supergroup! This group is like the Justice League or the Avengers; each member a super heroine in her own right assembled into a super group!
Nemophila is doin’ same to Metal than Band-Maid is doin’ to Rock…They are saving it! Magical band. They have it all..Passion 🔥 Work 💪 Heart ❤️ Talent 🤘 Amazing musicians, humble humans. Lovin Nemophila 🔥🤘❤️
Murata Tamu, the drummer, was a jazz fusion prodigy. She was a famous session drummer for years. She can play anything and has played on tons of famous bands records. Super nice woman too.
The members of nemophila are musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. And nemophila is a very unique and diverse band, with various genres of music appearing in their catalog. I recommend《oiran》live(recent one) or《rise》live as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
Drummer Murata Tamu has her own YT channel where she does things like drum playthroughs, makes gingerbread houses with her kids, has a blast with Ladybeard, etc.
If you love Tamu (drummer) - and who doesn't? - check their song "Adabana". Then goes to "Dissension" to witness something different from Mayu (singer).
Revive, Rise, Seize the Fate, Zen, Change the World, Style, Hypnosis, Odyssey, Monster, Oiran...and about 50 covers. These ladies in Kiss makeup? 😍 Dressed as Minion? Spoofing Journey? They have even covered BabyMetal and Hanabie.
Welcome to the Party Pal... Great first reaction to the Ladies of Nemophila.. 5 best friends Kickin a** and takin names since 2019. Haven't heard that in many bands who "play in sinc like that" Lol Lovebites, Nemophila, Aldious to name a few.. Nemophila are a band of our time! You can't put them in a box, they do everythig as you will find out.. Check out Ama-Te-Ras live next.. If you dare? Ps Best get in the que for Tamu on drums, Lol The cuetest drummer on the planet, but she brings the Thunder and will blow you away... More of the same please and don't forget Lovebites and Aldious.. Best wishes from France
Who would not like not like this Drummer? Tamu Murata IS the greatest drum queen (IMO) you can listen to. She is not at metal drummer per say, but a drummer from every genre from jazz to metal. Everyone in this group is beyond the typical musician. You have only scratch the surface. ❤️🌸
Oh boy you have done it now, Band Maid is by far my favorite rock band but Nemophila is a different beast. Nemophila is at it’s heart a metal band and they go way harder then Raitei at times. They are though diverse and can go softer as well. They have immense stage presence, check out Zen or Oiran live to see it and how much power Mayu has on vocals.
Welcome Nemo fella to the most incredible band right now¡¡ Nemophila are: Mayu: vocals Murata Tamu: Drums Hazuki: Lead guitar Ibanez Saki: Lead guitar Killer Haraguchisan: Bass Recommendations: Zen Live, Revive, Ama-te-ras, Oiran, Alive, Change the World. Regards from Chile.
The drummer goes so hard in this song but is largely ignored by the videographer for some reason. There's a recent live video of this song where you can get a better look at what she's doing. She's a phenom.
I have notice alot of Japanese band do live videos. It's what started me off on band-maid. I should really check these live videos out :D thanks for the suggestion
Nemophila Happened that's what Best Heavy band right now Japan even World some would say all i know is that there awesome and live there better than the studio tracks . Any of there songs are worth listening to.
very talented ladies, the outro was just nuts, thank you for checking out the video hope you enjoyed it :D next nemophila song im gonna react to is dissension so stay tuned!!
Before 2020, there was only one all-female band that I listened to regularly, and that was the Brazilian metal band Nervosa. Then I discovered Band-Maid who immediately impressed me. Now I have a top five all-female Japanese bands - Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Gacharic Spin and Hanabie (East of Eden might eventually make it a top six). There are also The Warning from Mexico and Crypta from Brazil (the vocalist/bassist and the drummer of Nervosa left and formed Crypta). So far I have seen Band-Maid, Nemophila and Crypta live and will be seeing Lovebites live in September. The great thing about these seven very talented bands is that they all have a different sound. You need to put Gacharic Spin on your list with their music video for the song MindSet. In my opinion, that song is one of the best released in 2021, and I don't mean just in Japan.

Welcome to the kick ass world of Nemophila. RAITEI is a kick ass song but its just the tip of the tip of the iceberg!! Formed in 2019 they just released their 3rd album last month. Tamu the drummer is one of the best drummers out of Japan. Haraguchi-san is a damn good bass player and a fireball and writes some very cool songs. On to the twin guitar attack with Saki which was on your right of the screen with the darker hair. Saki is a metal goddess and one of the best out of Japan. Hazuki on your left of the screen is a technical wizard on the guitar and amazing herself. Both are shredders and could easily be the main guitarist for many bands but here they are together playing off each other beautifully. They have many other songs where they dual and harmonizing solos. Now on to what I describe sometimes as the icing on the cake and brings it all together perfectly and that is Mayu the vocalist. She has a great clean voice which has that bit of rasp and truly is unique. But something you have not heard yet and is what makes her even more great is her growls and screams. Banshee screams as it is described at times. She has the perfect voice for rock and metal and she can hit that little sweet sounding voice too which makes her range so much more at blending different genres of metal and just genres of music in general. This all makes Nemophila not only one of the top 5 bands in Japan but one of the most diverse. Try their song Adabana an amazing song. You will get to hear Mayu blend those growls and cleans. Tamu the drummer is out of this world on that song with amazing fills and a great drum section in the breakdown. Also try one of their lives like Oiran Live. Their first song they recorded and is usually the show closer. Pick the newest live release of it. If you enjoyed this song you are going to love them even more listening to their others.
Awesome band. Seen them live twice in California. Saki & Hazuki are incredible guitarists. Tamu is a highly skilled drummer, Haraguchi-San is awesome on bass...and Mayu's vocals just come on. Wait till you see a live video. Super engaging and charismatic. 2nd fav band just behind Lovebites. The overall Japanese metal/rock scene is probably the best in the world at this point.
@@MeteorReactsYT Lovebites belong to best Metal since decades, like Nemophila. Nemophila being maybe rather "punky", Lovebites maybe rather "arty". Also worth a try: "Chaos Control" (also J-Metal). Try their promotional music video "The Legacy Within". Face-melting.
One of the greatest songs ever recorded (in my opinion only). And to think they just released the official live clip of this and it's as good if not, better. And this comes from a Band Maid fanatic.
There's a lot of variety with Nemophila. If by chance the's a track by them that you are less keen on then just go to another. My personal favourites by them are Hypnosis and Life. Other people with have different favourites.
Neemo-Phila is more like Americans pronounce it. The band says Neh-mophila. More like the English pronunciation. It’s a five petal blue and white flower that grows in masses at the Hitachi seaside park in Japan. Each petal represents each member. You’ve tried their first music video. Oiran was their first single and they have a cool live version of that on their channel. Dissension was their second music video which is killer like all their songs.
I actually love Murata Tamu more as a pianist than as a drummer; only because Akane-san of Band-Maid is my favorite drummer. lol NEMOPHILA has two lead guitarists. Hazuki-san plays an Ibanez 7-string while Saki-san plays a Killer (brand) 7-string guitar.
This song is absolutely FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 I love Nemophila!!! They all are so talented!!! And Tamu (drummer) is one of the best female drummers in Japan!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
yeah she is absolute nuts, one of the best drummers ive heard in recent years, even the band maid drummer, insane, idk think japan just hit different it seems
@@MeteorReactsYT "The sun is rising in the east", I always say. "As in nature, so in Metal." The Japanese music artists obviously learned from the best, got their exams, and now pass on (or give back) to the world. Lets be grateful it happens in our generation. I recently watched a compilation video on J-Metal and Japanese solo artists. Simply _face-melting_ . The world of Metal will not be the same any more in 5 to 10 years.
@@MeteorReactsYT Zen is probably my favorite Nemophila song, though most of them are my favorite when I listen to them. Zen sounds like I'd imagine Rob Zombie would sound like if he stubbed his toe 🤬😆
More Japanese bands to react to in the comments you say? Okay here are 10 new ones for you. Okay, ladies first. LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath [Official Live Video taken from "Knockin' At Heaven's Gate"] Gacharic Spin - I Wish I MV Passcode - Taking You Out MV Broken By The Scream - Koi ha otome no nakidokoro- MV Fate Gear - Battle Against Justice MV Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire MV Kosame - Cord MV ------ How about some more Hanabie?

thank you for the suggestions :D lovebites and passcode have been on the radar for a minute now and reactions for them will be sooner rather than later, and thank you for the hanabie suggestions!!!! i needed more hanabie in my life!!
New bands for your personal catalog: Lovebites (we the united) - Gacharic Spin (I wish I) - East of Eden (This moment) but their catalog is huge and consistent (Up to noe East of Eden has just 5 gems).
Now when u done bandmaid, nemophila and lovebites, its just hanabie left. Would suggest we love sweets, u can really hear their roots from being a maximum the hormone cover band in highschool
I love the drummer too so does her husband and her two children but I guess there's always room for more love ❤️. Whatever you do don't react to their song Zen it's far too heavy for you..
