Nemophila rocks. They have such varied influences between them all. It comes through in their music. Guitarist Hazuki is a big Arch Enemy fan. Bassist Haraguchi San a Slipknot fan. Vocals Mayu a Foo Fighters fan. Drummer Tamu a Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X, Mastadon fan. Guitarist Saki a Saikema ll fan. Varied influences.
Nemoph-i-l-a. , no second 'i'. It is a flower. They wanted to name the band after a flower because they are all female. Saki and Hazuki both play lead guitar. Mayu's screams are awesome, and she transitions to cleans easily. Hariguchi-san with the killer bass, and Tamu Murata on drums. The song is Dis-sen-sion, defined as a disagreement that leads to discord. The downward movement you described is des-cen-sion. Both this and Revive are from their first album called Revive. The 2nd record came out in December, the first single was the title track, Seize the Fate.
Finally¡¡¡...new Nemophila song...great great band...there are band with two lead guitars, amazing bassist , amazing drummer and a unique vocalist....next song RAITEI...regards from Chile
I hope you do more Nemophila, they have a wide range of styles. Some of my favorites are Oiran live (where you will also hear their name correctly, because they are introduced in the beginning), Raitei, Sorai. They also have an extensive library of metal and rock covers and are adding a new one every friday.
Nemophila play a wide variety of styles and excel at all of them. Mayu can flawlessly switch from screaming to singing and vice versa at will. I would love to see your reaction to their very different song “Style” where she raps. I also highly recommend their song Adabana.
They are super talented and very few of there songs sound the same as they have lots of different influences, Life , Night flight , style and hypnosis will just show how varied there range is and is you want another banger have a look at Rise
Hanabie is amazing. Ever since "We Love Sweets" came out, I had a hunch that they were gonna break out worldwide and im happy that my hunch was right. US tour, second album and new record label (a big one at that). They had a massive year this year and that's just the tip of the iceberg
Nemophila es una espectacular banda japonesa! Me conquistó, nunca pensé que me iba a gustar metal femenino y japonés todavía! Increíble! Mí favorita y la culpable es la baterista! Es un espectáculo!🤘 Gracias amigos me gustó la reacción ✨ una reacción más y me suscribo 👍
I think a big reason bass players dont get love or recognition is because in a lot of metal bands you cant even hear the bass being played over the guitar and drums(unless maybe you have good headsets) there are a few bands out there where is the bass can be heard throughout the song like for instance Mudvayne. Thata one reason I love Japanese metal and hard rock bands you can hear the bass played throughout the songs. Band-Maid is a perfect example how you can hear all four instruments and nearly all times
Very true. Love love the bass parts in Mudvayne songs. That dude really deserved how noticeable his playing was on the bass. Also.... MISA, MISA, MISA!
Can't forget too that, especially Japanese bands, in at least one song per album/EP, the bass really shines and/or gets a moment in the spotlight. "Rollin' Rollin'" is a great NEMOPHILA example and "Play" by Band-Maid both show that the bass isn't entirely used just for rhythm and that's why I came to love Japanese rock/metal music myself, and the fact that most of the lyrics are nothing but positive
DISSENION is by far one of their heavier songs as of this reaction/comment. New album (if they keep the pattern) should be out by mid December. We got "RISE" and a single, which is equally as heavy and features and nice breakdown in it. In my humble opinion, "OIRAN" is my fav, at least live, especially their NAON-YAON performance in 2021, would love to see a reaction to that in the near future. -TDS
College 3 point line introduced in the 1980-81 season, but different conferences used different distances. But in NCAA tournament games they didnt have it until 87. I know this because Im a huge NC State fan, and the 83 championship team, Derrick Whittenburg was already known as a long range shooter and so he made a ton of 3’s during the regular season. One game in particular against Virginia, he had 27 points at the half and almost all of them were 3’s
Been a while since you've done some Soundgarden, lads! Highly recommend checking out their live version of Beyond the Wheel from their surprise reunion concert in 2010 (they were billed as Nude Dragons, an anagram of Soundgarden). The video in question is from the user "jarek k" 👌
Nemophila is a metal band not an emo (scremo) band. Nemophila means "forest lover" in Greek, and is the genus of a flower commonly known as a baby blue bell. Which are found in North America but there is a park in Japan that some were transplanted to which is where they get their name from. Five petaled flower, five band members.
You must look at STYLE by this band the singer can rap with the best of them .One super talented band both guitarist switch from retherm to lead so in effect they have 2 lead's and 2 retherms and the bass player live is dynamite out front stage playing in effect lead so actually 3 leads LOL but on the bass some of the time .They consider all members equal bigging each other up applauding each other .One very special band
Nemophila is pure fire 🔥, along with Lovebites and Band Maid that I believe you’ve already reacted to. Have you ever reacted to Gacharic Spin? I’ll suggest a new one from them-Replica.
Mayu has at least a 100 voices!! Across their catalog, Mayu sounds different almost ever time. NEXT - "Monsters" Question: Did you notice that Saki and Hazuki are playing 7 string guitars??
Watch the vidoe (s) more closely. No "just rhythm guitarist " here. Both Saki and Hazuki are phenominal guitarists and take turn at lead and also duet together trading licks. Each of them does it all rhythm and lead
Nice reaction guys.. Well thats two for Nemophila now.. Now you need to do your second Lovebites song.. You did their song Shadowmaker 2 years ago, where you made your famous coment "Bro, that don't make no sense" during Miyako and Midori's solo LOL.. Take a look at their latest song Stand and deliver 'Shoot em down'.. You will thank me later.. Best wishes from France
You are not wrong. Rythm-playing often does not get enough recognition, no matter if it's bass or rythm guitar. Lead is like the cherry on top but you NEED a solid rythm section to make a band sound good. Without that, you are lost. In Nemophila's case of course, both guitarists share rythm and lead duties, so...
Enjoyed your reaction, as always, guys. The convo about rhythm guitarists - while accurate, I think - isn't applicable to this band. They have 2 lead guitarists: when not harmonizing, they trade off lead/solos and rhythm. Both are great; hell, the entire band is! You may be surprised if/when you react to them again; they, like many Japanese bands, don't really adhere to one genre...
I agree with you 100% on that. There are songs in their discography like 'DISSENSION" (heavy instrumentally and Mayu's aggressive vocals) and then there's "Life" and "Now I Here" that are just the opposite. But, within the different styles they do, Saki and Hazuki are trading off riffs and solos. Easily one of the best bands to come out of Japan and the Covid era of music
I have only listened to a couple of Nemophila songs, and they have all been good. Also, Band Maid is another excellent choice for an all Female band from Japan. Thanks from Washington state.
@@mikewatts1533 to each their own my friend! I myself find the gimmick goofy and the musicianship lacking but that’s just my ears. Apparently there are plenty more who see it your way lol.
Besides going back down the Nemophila rabbit hole, I highly recommend you also go back down the other screaming ALL Female Japanese Metal band rabbit hole as well and that's: Hanabie!!!! They're about to start their 1st American tour later this 2023 summer and they unfortunately lost their original drummer, but their new drummer just made her debut and is already kicking ass in Hanabie's newest single: TOUSOU(Run Away), which just came out this past week, if you two need a banger to start off on again!!!!!
Nice work guys 🤘🏻. Not sure if you have seen them or not but if you want energy check out Gacharic Spin. They are another all female Japanese band. I think they pretty much all sing really well plus one or two can growl. They are amazing musicians and as far as the energy in their videos and live performances they are in a class by themselves. Cheers from Texas.😎🤘🏻
Enjoyed the reaction! In a lot of bands where there are two guitarists, they'll trade off doing the solos and might also harmonize as a duo (Lovebites, Nemophila). But yes, there are bands with dedicated lead and rhythm guitarists. An example would be Band Maid. But you guys are right. It's important to have a solid rhythm to give the lead guitarist a foundation to solo over. Band Maid's rhythm guitarist, Miku, is VERY solid. She also founded the band, writes most of the lyrics, is the spokesperson for the band, and also is quite a vocalist, harmonizing with the lead vocalist, Saiki and even taking the lead mic occasionally herself. Some might overlook her. But no Miku, no Band Maid.
Yo you guys should react to blind dogs by Soundgarden. It is part of the soundtrack for a film called basketball diaries starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The live version and outtake don’t compare to the studio!!!
In Metal, particularly the faster stuff, the rhythm guitar players are appreciated as much as the leaf players. Sometimes, more so. Take Metallica. No one doubts James Hetfield's abilities (not counting Dave Mustaine who claims he taught James everything about guitar playing), but Kirk, who does most of the solos, gets picked on quite a bit.
It is easy to confuse because "nemophila" and "nemophilia" are both actual words. "Nemophilia" means "forest-lover." "Nemophila" has the exact same root words, but is used specifically to refer to a kind of flower that is native to North America, but has been exported to Japan and become very popular there. Americans call the flower "baby blue-eyes." It is a five-petaled flower, which is part of why they chose the name, because each petal represents one of the five members of the band. With a lot of these Japanese bands, you don't have to worry about the rhythm guitarists getting lost in the background, and many of them don't have one. Lovebites, Nemophila, Aldious and several others have dual-lead guitars, so both have equal time at center stage. Band-Maid has a rhythm guitarist, but she is also the main face and personality of the band, so she's never lost in the background! The Japanese are very good at making sure everyone in the band has their time to shine!
Your reflection about the little recognition of rhythm guitar only confirms to me how little understanding rappers have about the concept of the rhythm riff and the dynamics between guitarists within a rock band, I'm just saying 😉.
A NEMOPHILA is a AMERICAN FLOWER. With 5 PETALS with each one representing a member of the Band. They are METAL. SCREAMO WTF IS THAT? Lmao Also Nemophila just like LOVEBITES HAVE 2 LEAD GUITARISTS. LMAO NECROPH1L@
God I love Nemophila so much, all their songs are great. I hope to see more of them on here.
Nemophila rocks. They have such varied influences between them all. It comes through in their music. Guitarist Hazuki is a big Arch Enemy fan. Bassist Haraguchi San a Slipknot fan.

I love these ladies and when I got to see them live, it was next level awesome! Please do more Nemophila
Glad you guys finally got to Nemophila, try their more hip hop song called STYLE next!
Finally Nemophila again.
They are my top band from Japan 💙🤘 hope to see more of them on your channel in the future.
Mine too penta. Close second is Gacharic Spin.
I am sooooo glad you hitting Nemophila. They are 🔥 Try out Raitei or Rise for bangers, Hypnosis or Style for chill.

And you've just scratched the surface of the female Japanese scene. Check out Hanabie and Saiseiga as well.
Hanabie is amazing. Ever since "We Love Sweets" came out, I had a hunch that they were gonna break out worldwide and im happy that my hunch was right. US tour, second album and new record label (a big one at that). They had a massive year this year and that's just the tip of the iceberg

Every instrument is represented with this band on all songs
I think a big reason bass players dont get love or recognition is because in a lot of metal bands you cant even hear the bass being played over the guitar and drums(unless maybe you have good headsets) there are a few bands out there where is the bass can be heard throughout the song like for instance Mudvayne.

I've never clicked on a reaction video so fast.
Need to do more Hanabie also. They're touring the states later this year. Playing in Atlanta on September 14th.

Adabana is recommended for jointing 🤯🤟💯🇯🇵
Fully agree. Really they can react to any NEMOPHILA song and I'd be happy with it

Mayu has at least a 100 voices!! Across their catalog, Mayu sounds different almost ever time.
NEXT - "Monsters"
Question: Did you notice that Saki and Hazuki are playing 7 string guitars??
9:58 Hollywood looks like he just met his future girlfriend right there, lol. 😂😂😂😂
That vink from Hazuki at 15:00 is ❤
Watch the vidoe (s) more closely. No "just rhythm guitarist " here. Both Saki and Hazuki are phenominal guitarists and take turn at lead and also duet together trading licks. Each of them does it all rhythm and lead
never heard of them until I seen this but i love it
Both guitars play lead in Nemophila just like Lovebites.
Nice reaction guys.. Well thats two for Nemophila now.. Now you need to do your second Lovebites song..

Band maid don’t deserve to be in the same sentence as Nemophila
@TheRobsam I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Given a choice between the 2, I will take Band-Maid every time.

Okay - Who's the rhythm guitarist for Nemophila, Lovebites, or Unlucky Morpheus??
I believe the term you used previously was this chick is bonkers 🤘😎🤘
This is a lot of people's first intro to them, but I honestly probably wouldnt put it into their top half

Music doesn't have to be put in a box. Do you like it or not. That's all that matters
I hurt my neck 🧣 on that
Nemophila Rise please 🔥
Maaaaan, I'm telling you..if you enjoyed this you have to do MEMENTO MORI by DIVITIUS.
All female. All Metal. All good.
