NEMOPHILA - DISSENSION (First time hearing) | Metal Musician Reacts 

I saw this thumbnail and thought... Oh, he's gonna love this! :-)

The world of NEMOPHILA is a beautiful world.

You can't go wrong with these girls, originals or covers. Raitei MV was the first time I heard them, solos are incredible.

Love Nemophila, they formed late 2019. Nemophila is a blue flower. Singer is Mayu. Guitarists are Saki and Hazuki. Bassist is Haraguchi San. Drummer is Marata Tamu. They are a versatile band. They do covers on fridays, while recording in their studio. Try their song Raitei, awesome banger, great solos. The guitarist really show their styles in solos in it. Mayus vocal is so awesome in it. The last part of song is a headbangers dream. Saki is also guitarist of Mary’s Blood. Hazuki is with Lisa X, was in Disqualia. Mayu was singer In band Lipstick. But yes, both guitarists are incredible. Like Lovebites, two lead guitarists. Life is a great song, it’s from their live stream, show back in august. Beautiful ballad, Mayus vocal is so beautiful in this. The guitars are beautiful. Drummer Tamu had just come back, after months off giving birth, raising newborn, so she holds back emotion the whole song playing drums. Fighter a great song,

Yeah, it's my kink too. How any guy with a pulse wouldn't love them is beyond me. The gang vocals show they don't take themselves seriously-Hazuki even winks, in case you didn't catch it. If you watch them enough, you will get a clear sense that they are enjoying a private joke. Like "Yeah, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off". Some background: Nemophila were founded in 2019. They are a supergroup composed of: Mary's Blood guitarist Saki ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki (also plays with Lisa-X) ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Muratatam (also does other projects) Initially, they were just a side project, co-organized Mayu with some help from Saki. They started off posting metal covers of well-known rock, pop and metal songs. Then they began posting originals, starting with “Oiran” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eyb2NtPwcxc.html They tend toward hard and heavy, but also do ballads and some pop covers. After Oiran, another to check is “Raitei”, which means “Thunder” in Japanese, and yes, they bring the thunder: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lh-dVLKP314.html Other than Saki, none of them had previously been with a breakout band, despite having amazing chops. Getting these five together did the trick-they are just exploding. Nemophila’s youtube channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCvoAeGZoC8giXP59NOZABIAvideos

been waiting on this one. need to check out hanabie as well

Love this band. They have a bright future. They are a new band and they have not released a full album yet ..only singles and covers. There is a lot of good stuff from those to check out until they drop their debut album...I’m very excited for that.

Pronounced: nee-mahf-ee-lah I get this pronunciation from one of the drummer’s (Tamu Murata) live streams when she used to do one every week. That particular week she was cooking dinner and chatting with fans. Very cool.

Now although I am one of Nemophila's biggest fans and you should watch all of their videos, there are a LOT of bands of nearly this quality in Japan, all girls, all awesome, some have come and gone but they keep coming. Aldious should be on everyone's list along with Mary's Blood, Band-Maid, let's throw in LOVEBITES and now Hanabie. They all have the power to make you happier than you were 30 seconds ago. There are many more bands, many many more - if you're lucky Hiawatha G.will be along to share a condensed list...

😂....told you those girls would be your jam!! They're just brilliant. I think you'll dig their whole discography. Go for it man.

Nice reaction, please give support to this band. They are awesome. Nemophila is a Japanese metal band from Tokyo. Formed on September 5 in 2019, is a supergroup consisting of some familiar names from the girls’ rock scene. They are lead by guitarist SAKI from Mary’s Blood, Destrose, Amahiru, who recruited former Lipsick vocalists MAYU, guitarist HAZUKI from Disqualia, bassist HARAGUCHI-SAN from HöLDERLINS, and drummer MURATA TAMU from Soramimi. The band went viral with a rehearsal room version of the song 'Oiran' and have also gained further popularity because of their cover versions of songs by artists such as Iron Maiden, Helloween, Maximum the Hormone, Babymetal, Pink, AC/DC, Kiss, Show Ya, The Minions and more. They published two official releases in 2020.

This is why I watch you champ. Thank you

They like to do covers as well as originals. Iron Maiden (2). Kiss, Helloween, Maximum the Hormone, X-Japan, Babymetal, Nickelback, and the banana song from the Minions movie, and many others. The singer Mayu chooses the songs (except for the Minions song). Saki, the shredder on the right, is likely the best known to Western fans, long time guitarist for the all-women metal band Mary's Blood. If you watch their studio sessions they are obviously having fun.

In case you haven’t noticed, the guitarist on the right is Saki of Mary’s Blood

Awesome my man you picked a great one here I’m pumped up you got to these girls looking forward to the next one. Also they love to do covers on RU-vid probably worth a look to✌️

"Where do they come from?" - well, other bands ;) . Even if they are fresh like morning roses, they are all seasoned "veterans" of the japanese metal scene - Saiki (right/gtr) is the best-knowned female shredder in Japan, Hazuki (left/gtr) comes from Disqualia, Mayu (singing extraordinaire) from Lipstick, Haraguchi-san (bass and laughs) from Hölderlins and last but not least, fusion drummer Tamu comes from ... too many projects to list them here, let's just say she's a highly demanded drummer (and a young mum). They were supposed to be a jam band at first, but soon realised they were on something with that team, so now they have three EP (with a total of 7 to 8 original songs released) and an album at recording state. They're versatile in the metal/hard rock genre, and really really really fun in the behind-the-scenes moments.

Finally. I knew you'd like them. I haven't read others' comments, but their originals, "Oiran" and "Ratei" are bangers. "Fighter" and "Monsters" are not as hard, but still very good. And I think you'll like a lot of their covers--Iron Maiden, Helloween, Baby Metal and some surprising ones, as well.

Nemophila is a band formed in 2019, but actually each of their members is from a different band, so nemophila is like a super band type, and they are a very unique band, each song has different elements, Both guitars are 7 string, and of course 5 string bass，Two guitarists: Saki and hazuki are very famous guitarists in Japan, drummer tamu is one of the best drummers in Japan, she not only plays rock and metal, she is also a very good jazz drummer. next one Please react to 《oiran》or《raitei》🔥🔥🤘🏻🌸

The singer is badass

Nice one. This track will be released at the end of the month with all English vocals as part of a CD by JPU Records. Other tracks of theirs: Raitei, Sorai, Life & Numerous covers of songs by Iron Maiden, KISS, Linkin Park & so on. Great stuff to come!

Check out Asterism's Hal Ca! To me she is my most favorite shredder who is also a japanese female under 20! Their song Dawn is my most favorite!👍😉❤

When you said I want to see if they're shredder's, I want to see a solo I broke out in uncontrollable laughter.

Band-Maid is the best hard rock band on the planet. Nemophila is the best metal band on the planet.

I'm surprised you haven't reacted to them before. Glad you finally did. Just wanted to correct some people on here on how the band was created. Lead singer Mayu had just left the group Lipstick and was looking for a backing band for her solo project. She was school friends with bassist Haraguchi ( ex Holdrens) and they contacted drummer Tamu (ex Sorammi) and asked her if she knew any other people who'd be interested. Tamu then contacted Saki (Mary's Blood) who then also suggested Hazuki ( ex Disqualia) This is directly from a recent interview they did.

And you delivered! I love this band, Band Maid is my first love but NEMOPHILA is my side chick., Stage left guitar player is in a band with the bass player from Dragon Force called Amahiru.

You are going to love exploring this groups catalog. They were putting something up every Friday for a while there, keeping all of sane through 2020. They have done several live streams and have an EP coming out on June 25th through JPU Records. Another live stream is scheduled for June 19th. They play every genre of music from covers of Kpop (Make You Happy) all the way to Dissension

Love how your just churning out these videos left and right! You got to check out Raitei from Nemophila next.

If Band-Maid is a hard rock band that veers into metal, Nemophila is a metal band that veers into rock. Both are so uniquely great though. "Oiran" and "Raite" are really your next options. After that is a smattering of originals and covers. I will recommend one that no one else will, because you will like it since you like J-pop as well. They do a cover of "Make You Happy" by Niziu that's hella fun. The singer even does the dance, kinda like Cluppo during "Peace&Love".

This song was also my first from Nemophila, and I couldn't agree more that this is the best one for a metalhead to start with, although now I think I like Raitei a little more. Definitely check out some of their covers, if for no other reason than that you get to see Haraguchi-san's face (they don't show her much in the MVs because she has chronic bass player face, but how could she not? She knows she's laying down Phat Grooves!)

Finally got to this band they are monsters. If you want to see real shredding from Saki the one with the killer white Marshall check out her band, Mary’s Blood and the MV for Marionette. You will see why she is so well thought of as a shredder.

i love this band...Simply love these ladies...

For guitar solo check out nemophila raitei Do check out maximum the hormone for maximum kick 🤣. The drummer - nao is very much influence the girls band drummer including akane from band maid plus she sings & scream too. Also checkout doll$boxx - shout down & also the band unlucky morpheus! Same singer

NEMOPHILA has shot straight to the top of my play list. 🌸✨🌠

Dude I've been waiting for you to react to this one, knew it was gonna be a banger. Your reactions are the best on YT, keep doing what you're doing, making me laugh while simultaneously educating me on why I enjoy the songs I do 😂 love your stuff man

Thank you for reacting to my favorite band! Love these ladies and their talent is some of the best in world! They are so beautiful but that is the least of their qualities. They love what they are doing and are very versatile! Their originals are metal but their cover songs range from pop to rock to metal. They can play and sing any genre and make you love it! Recommend Oiran, Raitei and ballad Life, Life is sung to drummer who just had a baby so they are emotional and also Hazui's (guitarist you pointed out as so hot) birthday. This would be a good start for you.

Lol finally Nemophila, been waiting for this in a long, long time! Oiran and RAITEI should be next. Oh, I think officially you're technically a Hazuki fan haha 😆 Now check out Hanabie - We love sweets 🧁 It's like Nemophila little sisters, but more brutal! 🤘😎🤘 I love flower bands 🌸🎌

Life. Check out "Life" from them.

Hot girls playing metal...and playing it damn well !!! 🤘❤❤🤘

Great reaction and yes they do shred. Saki (on right side, also a BIG Babymetal fan - they do a cover of Megitsume) is considered one of the best shredders around and her guitar is from a Japanese company called "Killer", so of course she kills it. Nemophila as others have mentioned is a blue flower with 5 pedals (five members), you'll see blue in some of their videos.

Oh I was sooooooo waiting for you to react to Nemophila, I knew you would love them. I'm sure some others have already said this, but they are still pretty new, so only a handful of original songs, but they are all good. This one is easily their "hardest" but really they go hard in all their songs. mayu's vocal abilities are all over the place in their songs, and I mean that in a good way...she can do so much and it all sounds good. And that's not even to mention the covers they've done as well, which yes...are also all good. This is another one of those bands where you're just going to want to react to them again right away, lol, and I wouldn't be upset at all if you did. Either way though, look forward to some more reacts to Nemophila, because you're going to love it, no doubt. Thanks for reacting to them my dood.

Guitarist SAKI is Kanami friend. 👍 Oh and she is 2 band guitarist ( Mary’s Blood ) That’s all I know Champ.

Ohh, I am kind of in shock, Champ😳 You didn't know Nemophila till now? 🤨 This is my #3 fav group (#1 is Band-Maid). This is kind of a side-project of ellite musicians from other bands. They don't have many original songs yet, but all original songs such as Oiran, Raitei, and Life (for their soft side) are really good. They also have many fantastic cover videos at their official site. More Nemophila, please👍😎👍

Bro, next song Raitei....the best Metal sound and solo's I ever heard.... :)

Finally... Tryout their song Fighter for some nice blend of new and old rock styles with a bit of j-rock.

I was not sure if you've ever reacted to them, even looked on past patreon posts. Now I know you haven't and this is awesome! Check Raitei

They are extremely talented musicians, and she has a nice voice. Unfortunately, scream vocals just are not my thing. I recognize and respect that it takes skill and talent to do them. However, for me personally, listening to scream vocals is like having a Marine Corps DI screaming in my ear which is, little to say, not pleasing for me. As far as the Band, it will be interesting when Mary's Blood goes on tour again and see what Saki does. She remains their lead guitarist and the other guitarist is one her best friends. Good reaction Champ, catch ya next one.

Awesome reactions as always. This group started as sort of like super all star group where each member came from talented groups on their own. Most famous one is one of the guitarists, Saki, plays for Mary's Blood. You gotta do Raitei, Oiran and Life. Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌ bro...

Can’t really go wrong with any of their songs. Such a great band. It may be time for Sokoninaru - Tenohira De Odoru, if you haven’t seen it already. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n7MyoBki9wk.html

AT LAST MAN ... after all the begging.👍

What’s up, Champ?! The drummer is Murata Tamu and she’s a PHENOM. She’s got a metric ton of drum cover videos on RU-vid ranging from Portnoy to Yoshiki from XJapan. AND she’s a new mom (last year) still killing it behind the kit!💪🏻🤘🏻

nemophila realy know how to mix it up its what makes them so good love this band they are just awsome

This sort of a super band as all the members come from other established bands. The most notable will be the guitarist Saki, from Mary's Blood. So this will give you a death, power and core metal rock vibe.

Pronounced ne-MOFF-fill-a, accent on the second syllable. It's a plant with a blue flower. You can look it up in the dictionary.

Hi, Champ!!! I knew you were gonna love this!😁😁😁 The girl you pointed out is Hazuki, and the other guitarist is Saki, both extreme shredders!!

finally!

Mayu...mayu...mayu...darn that scream...found my first female screamer from japan M!sa ( story of hope ) then Yuna ( Passcode ) n one more from Telec!de forgot her name ( sorry 🙏🏿) then Mayu...good lord live them all n hope they can take care of their throat...check out Hanabie as well Champ...tq for the reaction

Welcome to Nemophila :) They are my favorite beside Band-Maid and Lovebites. Take a look to their covers and their originals. They are awesome. I preordered the mini album ...can't wait for shipment. I listen to them every single day on my way to work. Next Raitei, Oiran and afterwards their cover from Maximum the Hormone ;) And yes, as said before ...take a look at Hanabie as well

They have some great songs and even a live concert you can watch but don't ignore their covers because they are all good. They also do a couple of fun songs Make you happy and The banana song. The guitarist right of screen is from Mary's Blood and that's another great band. She hosts a female only guitar festival every year and is a bit of a celebrity and that's probably why people recognised NEMOPHILA so quickly. Please react to more NEMOPHILA.

nemophia and band-maid change my life dude. You need to react more Nemophila. My recomendations are Raitei or Life or covers like Kurenai by X Japan or Despair Billy by Maximum the hormone

Two more bassists to show your bassist would be Rio of Mary’s Blood and F Chopper Koga of Gacharic Spin and Doll$Boxx.

Nemophila monsters is really good

Check out N's cover of The Trooper. Mayu's vocals really shine on this one.

Please do nemophila reaction again next time

We knew you would like them. A little over 2 weeks to go until the release of Oiran - Extended Edition, and it's going to have an English version of this song. Can't wait!!!

you should check their other song called Life its an extremely emotional sounding ballad

Mayu's voice is harsher than Saiki's, even before her surgery, but Mayu has a higher pitch voice. She reminds me of a very angry kitten looking for a fight on my rooftop. I got the same vibes from this band than from B-M itself on every aspect: creativity, tastiness, fun while playing, genre mixing, versatility, etc. I think they will be legends in a world dominated by pigeons. They have a lot of good covers and a few but equally good original songs. My fav from them is Raitei. You should also check out Hanabie-We Love Sweets. They are a Maximum The Hormone in the making with a lot of fresh and good ideas

This lot always put me in mind (at least with this track) of Filipino rock outfit SLAPSHOCK, and the material on the "Carino Brutal" album.. It's always a delight to hear your refreshingly honest opinions and takes on all this stuff you react to man.. I need to hear more from them, never mind you recommending more! lol

You called it and didn't even know it...Hazuki-san, the first solo-ist...huge Children of Bodom fan....lol And Saki-san...is Saki-san....if you've done any Mary's Blood you already know who she is...;) Mayu-san, her singing is in its own class... If you dive into their discog, there's al most nothing she can't sing...🤘💪 In that sense she reminds me of NANA that fronts Fate Gear most of the time... but their voices are completely different...and they both have tthat ability... I love it. And they have fun doing it too! Oddly I followed all of them separately before they got together with the exception of Haraguchi-san (bs), which I am now! Found them originally via Tamu-san (dr)...used to watch her streams like someone else below...😊🤘

In the studio, they're so chill. This was a tiny bit screamy for me. - But lots of therir other songs are right up my street. 雷霆 -Raitei is really good. They also cover a few old metal classics, such as Aces High, which, NGL I prefer over the original. Another great Japanese band knocks spots of their western counterparts... and they all seem so humble too. - These ladies ROCK.

This is actually Nemophila's heaviest song; most of their other songs are more old school heavy metal. If you want to hear something heavier and more modern try 花冷え。(Hanabie)「我甘党」(I love sweets)

i love her voice too. nemophila is the best female band right now 🤟🏼 ...just my opinion ✌🏼

I love that no matter who you are keying in on, you are gonna see a woman being absolutely beastly with her instrument. No one in this band is just along for the ride as any of then could be the standout in a band.

I dont even have Words on how i am i Love with her Voice.

Now you are ready for Hanabie - We Like Sweets

You ask, where these girls been? at least their guitarist Saki has been shedding for a long time with her main band, Mary's Blood: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p6ipfYbJgXQ.html and other projects like Shred Racers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GfMf9FszjAU.html & ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YL1glLgYW8s.html

I wont bore you with info every one has filled you in on the band i must be late to the party (uk) Welcome to Nemophila these lady's are on a role formed to support the singer at some live gigs and hit it off big time now poised to take over the world of metal /rock .It wont be long till there pulling fans like BM .There all super nice and interact with fans .7 song (collection of there singles )CD available from JPU records UK online concert 19th of this month and there working hard on a album You wont go wrong with any of there songs .

I encourage you to listen to more of their originals ("Raitei" or "Life") AND covers(Iron Maiden, Kiss, Linkin park, ACDC) songs ;) Mayu (the singer) is the new voice of J-metal !

Ok, discovered your channel due to me loving NEMOPHILA, and I have to say, I really like how you edit your video, your voice and the kinky remarks. Nicely done, so subbed and liked. Oh wait... you also do some BTS... unsubbed... (joking, while I don't like them, I totally respect your work and choices, and honnestly it's very cool that you go out of your own musical garden, music is a journey with a lot of diversity) Yeah her vocals is what got me into that band. She nailed an Iron Maiden cover (which honnestly I never thought could happen, me beeing a huge fan of Maiden and of the vocals of Bruce Dickinson) Now if you are after some other Japanese hard rock band (all girls), there is a one that is a little less known than the ones you covered, but yet quite talented. BRIDEAR While their original core has changed a lot (only the guitar bass Haru, and the vocalist Kimi, are original members from 2011), they kept talent, while adapting to what happened. Their latest MV (and song) Bloody Bride is quite nice ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CN3KDIBdosQ.html If you do them in future, just never ever use one of their live recording, they are pretty bad as far as sound goes, and does not serve them well. But seeing those girls live is something (saw them twice) Anyway, stay safe and keep on the great job, Greetings from Switzerland.

Finally 🤘

Great reaction! Keep it up..... Nemophila is awesome. Support these girls and keep spreading the word. Please reaction to Nemophila, Life (Live), Mayu's range and rasp is amazing in this song.

Now to introduce you to the Queen of screams/extreme vocals. Yu from Mergingmoon/Devil Within with the song "Greyen" Will change your life. Hang on!

Hey Champ. This vocalist has a sound that reminds me of someone else I discovered recently. Skye from Sumo Cyco. Not an all female band, just the vocalist, but some very cool stuff. For a first song I recommend No Surrender or Danger. Great react vids dude! Thanks

I’m really into this song right now! Lol

Just found these ladies days ago. Omg so good. You should check out Trident. I would classify them as Korean punk rock. Gives me that old punk rock days vibes from the early 2000s.

All of their originals are worthy of reactions. Some of their covers too. Raitei or Oiran would be my choices for a follow up from them. And yes, like many have said, Hanabie - We Love Sweets is another awesome one for a reaction.

You don’t see it too much in this video. But these girls are having so much fun when they play. Watch Oiran just to see Haraguchi-San (Bass) either laughing or really trying not to through the entire song. Awesome Band, my Favourite at the moment and awesome reaction. Maybe check out Hanabie - We love Sweets as well. More girls that rock.

Please also check out 'Sorai', 'Monsters', 'Life' and 'Raitei'

Great reaction as usual! P.S., Poppy just dropped a 5-song EP on her RU-vid channel with her own genre-bending. The song "Breeders," especially, is...an experience. EDIT: Whoops, got my song titles mixed up. "Breeders" is the hooky one, but it's "Say Cheese" that makes you go "WTF JUST HAPPENED?!"

this group is my fav band right now all there stuff kicks ass and you should check out song called Raitei

their cover of maximum the hormone's zetsubou billy is really really great. lead singer does both daisuke's and ryo's vocal parts. super impressive.

The first thought at the beginning was: "Woah sounds like Arch Enemy!" After the second and third song, I fell in love with Nemophila. My personal favorite is "Raitei" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lh-dVLKP314.html

HANABIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Bodom yes, also like Manso screech or sometimes Brink - and Champ, besides the occasional sprinkled girly J-rock🙄between drums and guitars they are a killer "Metal" band! Megadeth meets All That Remains 🧠🔥

Everyone has mentioned all the members on this band. Most famous is Saki (current member of Mary's Blood). Drummer is Tamu Murata - she started as a fusion drummer. She can play almost any genre and is one of the top females drummers in Japan. Also, she recently had a baby late last year. She has her own YT channel with combined view of over 45 million. She does a lot of covers from Jazz, Pop to Metal (channel name is in Japanese). Here is her covering OST Theme of Lupin III (8 million views) >> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_O9QPGxQDI8.html (big band Jazz)

_Life_ is my first fav, (you'll love it's power! No kidding!) along with _Sorai,_ _Orain,_ _Ratei,_ and _Kurenai_ are all cracking songs too, as their Baby Metal cover _Megakitsune._ Nemophilia rarely fail to impress, they are a good counterpart to Band-Maid, albeit with a smattering of emotive thrash vocals when & where apt - like Axle's wailing screams of GnR of old. But... one of there Iron Maiden covers seemed to suffer a levels mishap IMHO - likely first song of the day in the studio after another band had the monitor/mixing desk/eq set differently- can't be perfect all the time, and it's them rehearsing/jamming it perhaps?

"I want to see if the girls are shredders". Saki and Hazuki: "Lol, hold our beers."

Oh, by the way, the drummer in the link is Tamu Murata, the drummer you just watched with Nemophila and obviously the guitarist in the middel is Saki....my guitar goddess.

They are my favorite after Band-Maid. Mayu can scream, growl and sing.

Here's a full interview from them: unijolt.com/nemophila-interview-2021/

Your scream is awesome😄
