When you said.. 'Good music is good music... I don't always need to understand the lyrics'. You got a big win from me. Nice one dude!! Keep enjoying this band.. they are amazing!!
Thanks so much! It remember a time in the 90s when Gregorian chants were all the rage. Then a few years later we got Du Hast. We had no idea what was happening with either but the music conveyed the message of the song. I’m learning with a LOT of the Asian music (even the pop, dance and rap) I’ve been checking out that the message also conveys well with the music. Lyrics are secondary as the bands do a great job emoting the meaning of the song though tempo, chord choice, key choice, etc. Just amazing!
"Nemophila" is a word that originates in the West (composed of Greek elements), and in English-language dictionaries I've looked at the word is given with the stress on the "mo" (or "moph"). In Japanese there's what's called pitch-accent rather than stress, and words have pitch-accent on one syllable or other (some shorter, two-syllable words are pronounced with no accent). In the case of "Nemophila" the pitch-accent is on the "la", with what some linguists call downstep on the "mo". I see no reason to pronounce Japanese band-names that are composed of non-Japanese words in the Japanese way. If we were to do that, then "Band-Maid" would be "Bando-Maido", "Lovebites" would be "Rabubaitsu" (i.e., rah-boo-bah-ee-tsu). For English-language y t purposes I think stress on the "phi" of "Nemophila" is fine. Quite a few reacters pronounce it that way.
@@otobokegaijin6218 Placing the emphasis on "mo" (or "moff") is the English way to pronounce the flower they are named after. But the band uniquely pronounces it differently from the usual English pronunciation. Oddly, given that the Greek roots are "nemos" and "philos," the English way that you mentioned (which is correct) is counterintuitive to how one would organically say it, and the way the band pronounces it, I feel, is more organic to the roots of the word than how we say it in the US (hey, we're Americans, we never pronounce anything correctly, lol).
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!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
Cool pick any live, you wont be disappointed. Also I prefer the reactor to be the large video as we are here for your reaction anyways and almost all of us have already seen the song you are watching already. @@ReactionsThatRock
@ReactionsThatRock don't worry have you done BAND-MAID yet? They are rock not hard rock and certainly not metal but they are a very good band. There are some official live film clips from their recent show in Yokohama. Don't you tell me is the most recent. By the way I bet you can't guess who the two NEMOPHILA girls are who have children. Yes two of them are mothers. What does your mum do for a living I can just imagine the other kids saying.
Nemophila are one of the best live bands on the planet...no kidding. Technically superb, versatile (from bangers like this to full-on power ballads with equal aplomb), and insanely charismatic. they have the full package. Seen 'em several times and never failed to get that "in the presence of greatness" vibe.
That’s amazing! I got a good feel for the musical ability but this video alone didn’t really let their personality shine too much. I’m looking forward to hearing more!
As for the picture in picture question: if there's an actual video with something interesting to watch other than just lyrics, then go with Big Video, Small You, if you can do it without covering key parts of the video. But if it is just a lyric video or just an audio clip with nothing to watch other than an album cover graphic, then go with Big You, Small Video.
Problem is, I’ll never know if I’m covering g a key part of the video until I’m covering a key part of the video. 🤣 Makes sense though. I appreciate the feedback!
I didn’t know that but I’ve started to see it and understand it a bit! I’ve just barely dipped my toes in to the world of Japanese rock but I’m really loving what I hear! I also appreciate your recommendation and will be sure to check it out!
@@ReactionsThatRock I think it's more than that. After a while my brain stopped trying to process the language and it got really relaxing. I could just listen to it as sound. Plus I'm a bit older than most of you probably. I've heard enough people's mediocre thoughts. Listening to a 22 year olds opinions on politics doesn't really excite me.
Nemophila - "baby blue eyes" flower, "Rurikarakusa" in Japanese; grows in N-America and is appreciated in Japan (see "Hitachi Seaside Park"). The band was formed in 2019, originally as a "session" brought together by... Mayu - the vocalist (ex- Lipstick band); Haraguchi-san - (ex- HöLDERLINS band) bass, backing vocals, was Mayu's friend and colleague from Music College; Tamu Murata - drums, backing vocals, one the most respected session musician in Japan (countless bands), with also her own original carrier; she's also the wife of Akira Yamaoka, musician/composer, known especially for his videogames OSTs, in particular for "Silent Hill"; Saki (ex - "Mary's Blood" band for a decade, "Destrose", and others), she's a "young sacred monster" in J-metal) guitar, backing vocals, and... Hazuki (KOIAI "Dark Indigo" / Li-sa-X, Disqualia bands) - guitar, backing vocals; both, Saki and Hazuki have a lot of experience. Nemophila made an amazing fandom impression during the pandemic, thru RU-vid clips... ...so far about 50 Western/Japanese awesomely bonkers covers, and about 40 original, freakishly insane good songs (singles, EPs - including the JPURecords' Extended Edition of "Oiran", 3 albums - "Revive", "Seize The Faith", "Evolve").

ZEN ________ - Another Story... written during the pandemic, with the purpose of lifting the spirit; performed only once on stage for a live stream at the end of December 2020... but - according to Saki - "it's part of 'Cheer to Art, Tokyo Project' (started by Tokyo Metropolitan Government to offer place for artists to upload their work...since all lives, concerts, events and exhibitions had been suspended, all venues had been closed"; was posted on RU-vid, on this governmental channel: アートにエールを!【音楽 1ch】; although is no longer there, there are some reactions to it, just search "NEMOPHILA / AnotherStory". It's also kept on WebArchive. - Creature, Ultramarine... not part of any official release, but they are performed sometimes in concerts. - Breaking Out... released only during their first live stream in 2020, and performed sometimes in concerts; - Blooming... released only on the official Nemophila RU-vid channel, and performed sometimes in concerts. ___________________________

Awesome! I appreciate the list. I e done one BAND-MAID and one LOVEBITES song already and should be checking out more! Of course, now I’m interested in checking out Nemophila’s cover songs too! So much to get to!
Please react to all female Japanese hard rock band BAND-MAID, to songs like “Don’t you tell ME” live or“Domination” live or “FREEDOM” live or “onset” instrumental live or “from now on” instrumental MV or any song on official RU-vid channel.
Dear Haro-san, I always watch BAND-MAID reactions by いちお盟主のつぶやき with a lot of joy. There are English subtitles for better understanding. Is there any reason why You don't have his channel on Your reaction list? It is very pleasant to listen to his detailed and well-founded explanations.
@@HaroMatsuRestarted Thank You very much for Your answer. To be honest, I overlooked this particular list for so many years since I have Your channel. So now I still have some catching up to do.😄
Many Nemophila songs mix English and Japanese. Others are all one or the other. Mayu has a beautiful singing voice but she says she is more comfortable with the harsh vocals. Nemophila is a great band. They're primarily metal/metalcore but they fuck with all kinds of genres when the mood takes them. The subtitles are good for getting the gist, but don't rely on them 100%.
Your sound levels are perfect both your mic and the video. That's one of my bigger pet peaves for reaction videos. The full sized video with a small box for you is also good. I'd just put you in one of the bottom corners instead of the top. I also don't care about subtitles because when it comes to Japanese to English there's always the lost in translation issue. Thanks for reacting to Nemo.
Oh yeah, the translations get REAL wonky here. I shudder to think of what some of my Japanese viewers think I’m saying sometimes. 🤪 Honestly, the video side of this is new to me but not the audio. I’ve spent years in front of soundboards with radio, producing commercials, recording music, etc. I’m still stoked to have someone call the levels and the mix “perfect” though. 😊 It’s been a real lesson learning newer digital tech when it comes to gain and lag. I greatly appreciate the feedback!
Nemophila, nice! Terrific band! Hope you'll check out LOVEBITES, more traditional heavy metal influenced by the 80s. Big 4, Testament, Maiden, Priest, etc. 🤘
would you mind reacting to killing me inside reunion - tormented ( live at synchronize fest 2019).it is emo anthem song from indonesia.they reunited after 12 years
9 years. Worked with a record company for 2 after that. Then went in to do voice work for various sport and entertainment companies. Now I sell shoes. (Ok, not really.)
ROAST DJ SHWARMA. BECAUSE IF YOU START OVER EVEN MORE SHT WILL BREAK DOWN. OBVIOUSLY YOUR NEXT REACTION SHOULD BE A SONG FROM THE "ONE TAKE" SERIES OF SINGERS AND GROUPS RECORDING IN 1 TAKE. I SGGEST "ONE NIGHT CARNIVAL".
@@2abug I was in a hurry to get these uploaded and scheduled before running out on a drunken Gatlinburg vacation. Should have taken half a minute to spell check myself. 🤷♂️
