The start of this cover is a bit fun. They start sounding so insecure. It did not sound like they would kill this one. And, then when they actually was going to start, then Haraguchi-san and Tamu had problems syncing. They looked at each other and started laughing. Then it went off by Tamu starting and the rest of the band following. And then they DID just kill it. I have no idea what happened in the beginning, but I find it fun that they left it there and did not try to start again. This is the kind of thing secure people do. They did not care that they messed up in the beginning. Let the world see it.
Hazuki has a great singing voice. She is a Massively multi talented Musician. Her backing vocals behind Mayu are superb in every song they do together.
@@realdocloco She does have a very ninja play vibe about her. Noticed that before Nemo in her Lisa X material as well. Plays the rhythm like a champ and has zero problems flooring the gas for leads and dual lead support. Rock Solid.
@@ricdale7813 Yes, and it's a bit strange that virtually the only weakness in this song, was that Saki did not complete the backend, of Adrian solo, but simplified it, and I don't know why because she is such an accomplished guitarist.However, Hazuki replicated dave solo note perfect, which is a little easier than Adrians solo, on this song, but also did the "harmonic whammy, without looking at the guitar, during her vocal harmonising, which is commonly done by Adrian in songs. Saki was not harmonising, was not doing anything, except rhythm guitar, so could have done tha more easily.Perhaps was just trying to chill out during the song or something 🤣 For some reason, it seemed like Saki gave all the hard guitar work to Hazuki in this song, playing parts of both Dave and Adrian's work. Also, when they covered the trooper, again Hazuki was covering Dave's solo, which she replicated note perfect and is particularly impressive because that is a difficult solo and is far more difficult than Adrian's solo on that particular song. Maybe Hazuki is better at the legato style, which is predominantly what Dave produceso
It's not just that they have tons of talent, it's how much fun they have flexing it. Every single member was 100% in the zone here and they seem so grateful to be able to play together.
Nemophila also covered Maiden's *The Trooper.* Nemophila did *The Trooper* way before they did *Aces High.* Both of these songs were probably recorded during the early days of the pandemic. *Ace's High* was recorded around the same time Nemophila covered Motley Crew's *Shout at the Devil" video. It's the same band room.
Nemophila is going places. Literally. They just played Aftershock in California. The crowd seemed to love them. Mayu is rockin` the baby-bump! Another band with tons of talent. So many killer bands coming out of Japan now. They are the future.
Yes, it was a very good idea for them to release the covers 1st,especially during the pandemic lockdowns, and particularly the 2 Iron Maiden covers, which made all the fans in the metal genre aware of them quickly and they have got literally 4,500,000 views together.I think lovebites, Miho, regrets not doing the same thing.She implies it heavily in her recent interview
Yes, they are a newer band. Formed 2019. Not sure of the actual recording date, but this was posted May 2021. Their cover of The Trooper was posted Feb 2020.
I may have you beat with age. I discovered Iron Maiden at the release of the Number of the Beast record. My band covered "Run to the Hills" (probably not very well). Great to see these ladies picking up the torch and paying such a fitting Homage.
Hazuki does a fair amount of backing vocals for Nemophila, but from what I've seen, she rarely does them by herself. She was recently featured in a video over on Lisa-X's channel where the two of them and a singer named Kotono covered "ABC" by Polyphia. Hazuki and Lisa-X do backing vocals and it's adorable.
yes, and it's got 3,000,000 views (Zoiks!) Other Japanese bands, who been in the genre for a while, must be very jealous of that. I think some of the artists of thinking they should have done the same thing, before releasing original material, to make the market aware of the presence initially
Haraguchi-san wrote 2 of their songs. "Style" and "Hypnosis". They were doing 1 cover a week during covid. Sometimes they shot the video separately. Plus they were working on their own stuff. Straight covers. Except the "Banana Song". They rearranged that. I believe the covers were made to farm an identified and targeted audience. A fan base that would spend money. And I'm not being cynical. I pay.
I’m a big Iron Maiden fan and this is perhaps my favorite from the group. However, Nemophila’s original music is simply exceptional. I love their first album and in a very short span their second is about to drop. Exceptional women.
It was just announced that Mayu is pregnant and will be taking a break. That's what happens when you look so cute :) Congrats to her. Unless the video I saw was some kind of fake :). She said she had no intention of retiring.
If you can check out some of Tamu's jazz style drumming you will see that metal for her, with her skills and work ethic is not hard to do. Shows how outstanding a musician she is. It's no wonder Saki wanted so much to play with her when the band first started.
true, but then NicKo in Iron Maiden had exactly the same transition.His father was in a jazz band and Nicko started out for several years as a jazz drummer.In many Iron Maiden songs, there are a lot of drumming fills, that you will not notice, if you are not a drummer, which make them more complicated than it seems to the non-technical.Many people will listen to fast drumming, as if it's the most difficult. But nothing could be further from the truth. One thing is for sure, she is absolutely loving this performance, not only because of the fast pace, but because it's a drum and bass led song, with mainly drumming switch ups e.g. focus on the drumming sections and you will notice that literally every other instrument is dependent on the starts and finishes of the different drum sequences, particularly at the end, watch her face after finishing the last note of the song and notice that all the other band members, at the end are pissing themselves laughing, at how much physicality she has put into the performance, with her hair going everywhere
Great reaction! You have excellent insight into how and why a mix works. A little note on pronunciation (that wouldn't be at all obvious, so don't sweat it!): "Hazuki" is pronounced "haz'ki." The muddle syllable doesn't get pronounced. Moreover, Japanese doesn't use stress accent, so even if it was pronounced, it wouldn't be "haZUki."
They all can sing realy well LOL .Hara you can see from her face is concentrating very hard on those Bass lines its not easy .Love Nemo and Maiden i am from the uk and listened to Maiden from when they started ,we had a fantastic metal scene back then all my teenage friends were into metal with new bands coming up all the time more in the midlands where Black Sabbath kicked it all off. The good old days are back with Japanese girls showing the way.
They do a bunch of studio covers really well and I thought they were just having fun. They have said they consider the musicians in those bands to be legends and cover those songs with honor and respect. Great job figuring out the build cohesion with a new band angle. Makes perfect sense.
They can all sing, but have very soft voices, so they don't use them much when it comes to heavy metal. Tamu even did a song with Ladybeard if you want to hear her voice. Fun fact: Mayu doesn't speak English, so Saki teaches her the lyrics. Saki is bilingual Japanese-English. Herman Li did a stream with her which you can find here on YT, and it's amazing how fast she can improvise.
Check out their X-JAPAN and LUNA SEA cover songs. And especially their covers of ONE NIGHT CARNIVAL, DON’T SAY LAZY, and MAKE YOU HAPPY. You’re gonna love their new song/video, SEIZE THE FATE. BTW, you pronounced all their names perfectly.
The cover of Luna Sea's Rosier is about my favourite of theirs. It's a facet of Mayu's voice that's often overlooked. Warmth with a vibrato to die for - buttery and a mile wide. Achingly beautiful
Great reaction. Nemophila not only has their own kick ass songs they sure can cover some of the good ones very well. Yes Hazuki has a very good voice and sounds great behind Mayu . Funny you talk about something from Iron Maiden how they have the dueling solos in every song. Same could be said about Nemophila. Trade off Solos and dueling and harmonizing between Saki and Hazuki in most of their songs. Those two play off each other so well. I know you heard it in Adabana. But they do it a lot. RAITEI,Monsters, Change the world, Revive, Blooming their new one Seize the Fate. One of the many things I love about them is those incredible fun solos.
well, most of the Japanese metal scene, is pretty much grounded in the NWOBMH, and especially maiden and priest, in terms of the musical structure of bass driven, twin guitar feed offs, and operatic vocals, with fantastical themes, e.g. lovebites, bandmaid and Nemo Obviously, with their classical training, these artists are looking to take it to the next level and feed off this basic structure into different genres, e.g. various niches within hard rock , and power, and thrash metal
Este es uno de los covers alucinantes favoritos de Nemophila 🔥 es simplemente espectacular ! Mayu puede cantar así de bonito que el gran Bruce , puede también ser la más grande en su tipo ! Alucinante cantante ! Gracias amigo saludos me gustó mucho 👍
I'm not going to read all the other comments to see if this has been mentioned. Hazuki's name is pronounced Haz-kee. The "u" is pronounced, but it is said so fast that you don't really hear it. Wait 'til you see Haraguchi-san sing--listen to "Blooming." They've been together since '19. There first UA-cam video is a cover of "The Trooper."
I don't think silent is the right word. They just say the u as quickly as possible. To save time. We do the same thing with English. We often don't say all the words completely but it's understood by context.
@@mechanicat23 Sure. But I studied Japanese at university. I know how it's pronounced; there are no silent sounds in the language. Us and sometimes Is are just softened a bit between voiceless consonants and at speed it can sound silent, and that's mostly Kato dialect.The trick is all syllables are unstressed, but, lean the stress slightly on the first syllable/mora. More like, HA-zuh-ki and not, huh-ZU-ki
I really like these girls....I tried to get into Lovebites...but can't get past the vocalist vibrato....It just does not work for me. But these girls are strong in every position. No weak link..and enjoyed how much fun they were having !!!!
I'm responding to this because it's your latest video. Days ago, you talked about your love of harmonics. Forgive me if I haven't done my research of your videos, but have You heard of Mattias IA Eklundh? He's a master guitarist that only uses a volume pedal for effects because he has mastered harmonics, resonance and dissonance. He's played with greats onstage like Steve Vai and has his own thing going on.
@@TheCyberMantis . Yes, that is equally awesome.However, love bites rendition of Eagle fly free, is weak vocally. Also, notice that lovebites released their covers several months after the Nemo covers, pretty much indicating that they realise it was a mistake that they didn't do this in the 1st place, to make the market aware of their presence before releasing original material. Nemo's rendition of the trooper has about 3 times more views than any individual lovebites video.If lovebites had released it back when they started, I'm sure they would be getting those kind of views all the videos and would have got a market in the usa, which they don't have now. Unfortunately, their marketing team has let them down badly.Even now, you see several comments on videos with metal fans saying they just heard lovebites for the 1st time, and wondering why they haven't heard of them before, when they've been out for 6 years already
@@Rowlph8888 Asami can sing circles around Mayu. As far as who is "more popular" right now, it doesn't really matter. Both bands will go big if they can stand the test of time. Let's see where everybody is 5 years from now.
@@TheCyberMantis I disagree and so do most people, according to comments on threads. But I won't diss Asami because I think she's great, aswell. What I said is an objective fact, that Mayu, is far more versatile, but it remains to be seen whether she can operate in the higher registers, as consistently as Asami can. Mayu operates brilliantly at the lower registers and also has a better control of "rasp", in her voice than any Female singer I have ever heard and seen. Asami, has shown more weakness, at lower registers As for comparing the bands,I would have thought that lovebites are more popular currently, in both Japan and Europe, as they have toured twice or more, but they didn't break into the American market at all, which has been confirmed, and kind of lamented, in the last interview by Miho, whereas Nemo have. Basically Nemo have made a lot of ground on them, despite having existed 1/3 of the time. This is almost exclusively through their marketing decisions, in the way I described above, which loveBites Marketing team, should have had the sense to portray their brilliant musicians in the same way. I would'nt be surprised if that's part of the reason why Miho has left, because she was so clever in the way she structured the band throughout her time as the de facto leader of musical direction, but having done that, the team they couldn't even make the most obvious good marketing decisions e.g. make your potential market aware of your presence,, before releasing original material Hopefully both bands will because break the American market as well and go on to glory, because they both deserve it as their talent is off the charts
Many of today's Japanese all-female heavy metal bands are made up of former members of the band Destrose (2005-2015). These include Lovebites, Fate Gear, Nemophila, Mardelas, Mary's Blood, Lonesome Blue and Disqualia. There is a high quality live video from Destrose. It would be nice if you made a reaction video about it. Sort of back to basics first before moving on to other bands and more Lovebites and Nemophila stuff. Here you can see Miho and Haruna 10 years ago. Song : "Maze" Live at Shibuya 2013 Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/D6ivt5CCHOE/v-deo.html😃👍
Thanks for the link. Checked it and these women rock, and have for a long while. Love the back -stories and history. How professional and able to establish a "sound" at that age impress's me... Beginning to understand how capable, intuitive managers influence showcasing the talent.
I didn't like this. The only thing missing from Mayu were the flight helmet and goggles. They nail their covers. Bruce Dickinson is quaking in his boots. Mayu to replace Bruce Bruce in Iron Maiden? 🤔🤪 First saw Tamu with Shiena Nishizawa as a couple friends in the studio performing a cover of Sim 'Killing Me.' After seeing her perform X-Japan covers with Toshi (X-Japan lead singer) I saw Nemophila. The first cover was Iron Maiden 'The Trooper ' which is the first video they published to UA-cam in Feb 2020. Several other covers later saw 'Aces High' in 2021. Then they started to release their own music with 'Oiran,' 'Raitei' in 2020 and others. They were so impressive and they continue to impress. Cover of Journey's 'Separate Way (World's Apart)' is Remarkablee, too. My favorite covers they did were Kiss 'Detroit Rock City' and 'The Banana Song.' Nemophila formed in Tokyo 2019. Mayu - Vocals Saki - Guitar (Mary's Blood) Hazuki - Guitar Haraguchi-san - Bass (your pronunciation was spot on) Tamu Murata - Drums I loved this.
Don't mean to be disrespectful, but they could probably do with Mayu and Tamu, because the latest performances, by Bruce have shown that his voice is struggling with some of the old material and Nicko in his seventies, probably cannot replicate some of the old catalogue It will be very interesting, in the upcoming tour, which songs they choose, as they are, including the "somewhere in Time" album, for the 1st time, since 1986, as part of their set list.That albums songs are the most complex and difficult to replicate, in their catalogue, and they are choosing to do this when they are in their late sixties and early seventies, seems so ridicullous. I for one don't think that they will be including "caught somewhere in time", as well as "loneliness of the long-distance runner", and Alexander the great, because the drumming on those 3, back to back, would probably kill NicKo

Song : "Maze" Live at Shibuya 2013 Here is the link : ua-cam.com/video/D6ivt5CCHOE/v-deo.html😃👍
Thanks for the link. Checked it and these women rock, and have for a long while. Love the back -stories and history. How professional and able to establish a "sound" at that age impress's me... Beginning to understand how capable, intuitive managers influence showcasing the talent.

bruce where art thou
So funny hearing an Iron Maiden song with a Japanese accent. Cracks me up every time.
"Fry to riv! Riv to fry!" ( Yeah, it's too cute ne! ) ☺
I didn't like this.
The only thing missing from Mayu were the flight helmet and goggles. They nail their covers. Bruce Dickinson is quaking in his boots. Mayu to replace Bruce Bruce in Iron Maiden? 🤔🤪
First saw Tamu with Shiena Nishizawa as a couple friends in the studio performing a cover of Sim 'Killing Me.' After seeing her perform X-Japan covers with Toshi (X-Japan lead singer) I saw Nemophila. The first cover was Iron Maiden 'The Trooper ' which is the first video they published to UA-cam in Feb 2020. Several other covers later saw 'Aces High' in 2021. Then they started to release their own music with 'Oiran,' 'Raitei' in 2020 and others. They were so impressive and they continue to impress. Cover of Journey's 'Separate Way (World's Apart)' is Remarkablee, too.
My favorite covers they did were Kiss 'Detroit Rock City' and 'The Banana Song.'
Nemophila formed in Tokyo 2019.
Mayu - Vocals
Saki - Guitar (Mary's Blood)
Hazuki - Guitar
Haraguchi-san - Bass (your pronunciation was spot on)
Tamu Murata - Drums
I loved this.
Don't mean to be disrespectful, but they could probably do with Mayu and Tamu, because the latest performances, by Bruce have shown that his voice is struggling with some of the old material and Nicko in his seventies, probably cannot replicate some of the old catalogue
It will be very interesting, in the upcoming tour, which songs they choose, as they are, including the "somewhere in Time" album, for the 1st time, since 1986, as part of their set list.That albums songs are the most complex and difficult to replicate, in their catalogue, and they are choosing to do this when they are in their late sixties and early seventies, seems so ridicullous.
I for one don't think that they will be including "caught somewhere in time", as well as "loneliness of the long-distance runner", and Alexander the great, because the drumming on those 3, back to back, would probably kill NicKo
@@Rowlph8888 Well. I happened to be joking in my statement.
