That solo section really hurts now. SAKI and Hazuki worked so well together, and SAKI really knows how to pull off the rock goddess thing on stage. Great guitar player and great performer. Damn it, I'm still in a fckn huge sulk about her departure. On the bright side, this may be the best of their videos for showing Tamu in full flow, and Mayu moves perfectly for the song, as always. Her love of dancing shines through.
I hated that she decided to leave, too. They've pulled off the transition to a quartet superbly (I've seen the quartet version live a couple times now, and the chemistry and charisma are 100% intact...albeit different), and as a gigging musician for most of my life, I totally get the need to make changes...but I was still bummed. The biggest silver linings are that they've been forced into new songwriting directions (G.O.D. is one of their best ever) AND some dubious choices of cover songs aside, Saki's solo stuff so far is superb.
@@DavidKAnderson Yeah, I agree that it's all still great, and I'm no less a fan than before, but what we had before was sublime. The term "Greater than the sum of its parts" could have been invented to describe Nemophila v1.0. The chemistry up until last year was so much more than musical. No matter how I look at it, and no matter how much I like what we have now, the split has not been harmless, and we *have* lost something irreplaceable. I saw the steam of SAKI's gig with Hana, Senri and Yunika. It was great, but she didn't seem totally happy. I liked 'Brightness' more than the two follow-up tracks, although they were still nice. Nemophila's new stuff is great, but I'm not 100% convinced by some of the production choices. In the last one, Hazuki's solo was buried pretty deep in the mix.
this really should have been a huge hit. everyone I played it for loves it, even people who don't listen to rock. if they did a fun party music video and did a social media campaign it would have gone viral
De tantas canciones respetables de Nemophila está está en mí top cinco! Una genialidad de armonía y técnica guitarristica! El perfecto dominio escénico de Mayu es fascinante! Tenemos un genial banda de mujeres, para aquellos que amamos la música sin género! Una obra maestra está canción! Saludos me gustó mucho! 👍😎
One of their very best breakdowns, with extremely melodic solos that create a spooky mood for a song called MONSTERS. The video is from an Internet concert. The audio the studio recording from the album, with synths I that expect are played by TAMU.
This was one of the first times Nemophila showed that they are more than just a great metal band...and Mayu further established her "weapon of mass charisma" cred here, too. I was already hooked on this band when this video dropped, but it cemented the love affair, for sure. My favorite band, and they have remained so after the transition to being a quartet.
@@sergragnar9452 I disagree. While some of the covers are...um..."interesting," the original stuff like Germinans is terrific. And pulling in support musicians of the caliber of Senri Kawaguchi just adds to the wow factor.

The music was composed by Saki, lyrics by Mayu.

Do Sorai from the same concert.. It's another absolute banger, not often reacted to..
It's one of their live songs that gets the loudest sing-along reactions from teh audience during the chorus, too.

You guys know that Saki has released several MV's since leaving Nemophila?
Yes, but no one is interested in it.
@@sergragnar9452 The views say otherwise.
