NEMOPHILA "Odyssey" // Audio Engineer & Wifey React 

NEMOPHILA doesn't cease to push their limits. The Budokan live was EPIC. 🌸✨️🌠

This song transports me back to the time of true power ballads. These ladies have become one of my all time favorite bands

Hello 😊 Thank you for your continued support of Nemophila. their ballads are the best

Her voice is so pretty! What a great choice for my rainy Sunday (behind, as always). It sure did put smiles on your faces! Have a blessed rest of your day. ❤ Cyd

👍👍Great performance and reaction. 🖖❤

Great reaction! Beautiful song that was written for them that is the campaign song for a popular anime movie coming out this year in Japan. The song is also on their new album. Also got to see it performed this live I believe for first time last night at their 5th anniversary show at Budokan!! It was a great show over 2 hours. Sadly I could not be there like DragonPhly. I swear he is everywhere haha. But was able to watch the live stream. It sounded great. Mayu cracked on that last note a bit because she look like she was about to cry haha. She is such a great emotional singer. It was a great concert and a very big moment for the band. 5 years and already performing at legendary Budokan. Amazing band and my favorite.

This is a "Japanese Heavy Metal Quintet Nemophila will perform the campaign song "Odyssey."" for a animie "Butt Detective Gets New Anime Film in March"

i feel like hanabie got that metalcore hardcore heavy breakdowns vibe, on the otherhand nemophila's style is like pantera plus nu metal with crazy solos..both great bands

Most reactors say something like "Definitely not what I was expecting!" or "Totally not what I thought!" or "It took me by surprise!", etc. listening to this beautiful song. But all of them say "This is a great power ballad" in the end. And I agree to them all - this is 100% epic old-school power ballad. Mayu is a versatile rock singer. She growls in Zen and now in Odyssey she sings softly adding almost childish notes to her vocal sometimes. And in this MV everything is just perfect starting from great music and lyrics and ending with cool outfits. Nemophila will never let us down.🙂🤘

When a top class metal band writes a song for a kiddy cartoon...... My fav of their slow songs is "Now I Here". The guitar solos in that song is the most tasteful and ingenious I've ever heard in my life! Plus you get to see Mayu shed a tear whilst singing... It pulls at your heartstrings.

Miyako was the name you were searching for! 😋 I hope her and SAKI team up for a project one day, now the two bands are acquainted. And SAKI has just released a solo MV on her channel, entitled GERMINANS. 🤘🔥

10:38 Yes, you are right, the guitarist you talk about is Lovebites' *Míyako* . Usually standing on the right hand side of a stage, "distanced" and "cool" stage persona, long black hair.

I have noticed on the few songs before Saki left the band she is playing more background then being a lead guitar player. Almost like they were starting to phase her out of the band. Would explains why she felt that it was time for her to leave. And that the band decided not to replace her but go with a four piece band confirms it.

Nemophila, Hanabie, Band-maid, Babymetal, Lovebites: they are all magnificent and "spark joy" every time I hear their music.

the square cutting was something they did for their Budokan show. the squares were all signed by the members and given out for making donations towards the earthquake relief. if memory serves, they got over 700,000 yen donated. also, their performance was amazing. i was there, and met the legend himself Dragonphly.

Tell me you didn't get goosebumps when the chorus starts and Saki's lead riff kicks in !!!!!!!!!!! What a masterpiece !!!!!!! Our girls nailed it

Epic🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

_Heartwarming_ reaction, once more, thank you so much. 😊🙏 Concerning Nemophila: Just give them _anything_ , and they will turn it into gold. Yesterday I let their albums run through my smartphone during a long distance run, and I realized once more, that they exist above the "limitations" of music genres. They are inspired and motivated by _any_ excellent piece of music they run into, and craft something completely own out of these influences. Add angst-free and restless creativity, chemistry and their mutual friendship-based appreciation, and the results are their _unique_ and _brilliant_ songs. Apart from Iron Maiden and Lovebites, Nemophila contribute to the soundtrack of my everyday life. Successfully: It became brighter since they entered. 😊 "Thank you so much, ladies. I owe you." 🥲 🐺💮DE

Hey Jeremy I think the online video you saw of Mayu and Hazuki was them cutting up parts of their banner from their last tour and giving them out for donations to help parts of Japan that had an earthquake a month or so ago. forget how long it was but it was recent.

If you haven't yet can you look at Zen official live by Nemophila. I had the same feeling about that as i did this.

Saki, the guitarist, has left the group. Too much of a shock. Breaking news from Japan

This song is for the campaign (promotion) for a *CHILDREN'S ANIME MOVIE* opening in March in Japan. This movie is made for children. Not adults. With that said. This song makes sense the way it's produced. It does sound like it's from a movie soundtrack. Would I call *Odyssey* a Power Ballad?? *No.* A song being played at the end (credits) of a movie. *Yes.*

It's not like this song - and some others - demonstrate that this versatile band can do power ballads...it demonstrates that they can do some of the BEST power ballads ever.

🤘😁🤘

I just saw Nemophila live last night in Japan and during this song as you might guess everyone pulled out their phone lighters and waved them back and forth. It was beautiful and the concert kicked ass!

can you do Zen official live video by Nemophila

I was not a fan of 80’s power ballads in the 80’s. I absolutely love Nemophila this song is the 1st they have done that just does not hit for me.

Odd, because I didn't think you really liked any of Lovebites ballady stuff. LOL.
