Akira, Loudness lead guitarist is one of the people that produces the Japanese brand "Killer" guitars. Same guitar that Saki (now ex-Nemophila) uses. Hazuki (Nemophila lead) and Akira both played this song together in their recent live concert that the bands played at. Would have been amazing to watch. Check out Nemophila's latest version of their own song "Back into the wild" with just the 4 members. Again proving they don't need 5 members.
I have a lot to comment on. First off this is a cover of a fairly iconic Japanese Rock/Metal band from nearly 40 years ago and still touring strong. You mentioned Megadeath. The original (or early guitarist) for Megadeath is Marty Friedman. He left the band and moved to Japan around 2001, give or take a few years. He is now a famous father figure for Metal in Japan. He is fluent in Japanese, has his own band, television show, and many project bands and was selected by the government as a music Ambassador for Japan. If you continue to react to Japanese Rock/Metal groups, you will find most of the popular ones have appeared on Rock Fujiama. Irrespective of Loudness, or Marty, Nemophila performs all of their covers as well, if not better than the originals (IMO). No disrespect for the original bands, but Nemophila learns from the tens of bands they cover to add to their top tier talent. I personally prefer their original music, but darn if their covers aren’t as great. The difference is in the composition, or sub-genres. ❤️🌸
Uh Loudness predates Megadeth. Loudness guitarist Akira Takasaki is the single most underrated guitarist in Western metal. They had a lot of success touring the US and Europe in the 80’s but since mostly in Japan.
