This song and Revive are my go to when things get hard. If you are a fan of hard rock/heavy metal nothings better than what's coming out of Japan right now.
Great reaction, and yes there is much more to be discovered by them. I just saw them live here in Texas and they totally rocked. Try Revive, Adabana, or Dissension next!
When I want nu metal, I listen to Nemophila. When I want classic metal, I listen to Lovebites. When I want scary + cute, I listen to Hanabie. Japanese women metal bands are awesome.
Oh. I love Nemophila. This band always blow your mind. They are an amazing professionals. My favourite songs are "Dissension" and "Adabana". You have to watch these music videos. Thank you for the reaction. More Japanese bands on the channel.
Nemophila is a band formed by musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. They can do whatever genre they want, mayu has a rich voice to sing many kinds of music, and they do many different styles in their music. I recommend《dissension》or《adabana》as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
I am happy you’re liking these wonderful Japanese bands that y’all are reacting because I think they are incredible!! I just saw Nemophila on Sunday night in Dallas, Tx. and they were incredible, they sounded really great and put on a fun show. I am going to see Band-Maid in Austin, Tx in May and I am beyond excited. I am hoping Lovebites and Hanabie come to Texas soon, and hopefully The Warning comes back soon also because I missed them last year.
@@TlanImass it looks like plenty of seats are available in Houston and Dallas on stubhub any section is available if you want to spend enough money. I just want to make sure it won’t interfere with Band-maid on the 15th. Maybe Houston!
NEMOPHILA other songs Seize The Fate, Revive, Dissension(US version) Raitei, cover songs Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, KISS, AC/DC, Skid Row, Linkin Park, they are currently live in USA tours MAC 2023... Guys, check also BABYMETAL(all female) - live songs Road Of Resistance, Headbanger, Gimme Chocolate, Karate, Megitsune... TRIDENT-JAPAN(all female) - songs Voltage, No Regret, Continue... ASTERISM(female guitarist) songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Blaze, Church, watch her crazy solo's and crazy 7string bass solo's
They just finished their first US tour. I saw them in San Francisco and they were great. I’d recommend Revive, Raitei, or Adabana. Life is also great if you want something more mellow.
I am 67 years old, and Nemophila is my favorite band! I recommend everything they do, period. But, to see their range variety try .. "MONSTERS", "Life", "Adabana" Plus .. they are also great at covering other bands songs!!
Hey guys!!! Welcome to Nemophila!! Pronounced Neh-mo-FEEL-uh. My second favorite band behind The Warning. Want another great rabbit hole to go down? This is it! Good ones to start with are Revive, Adabana, Dissension, and Life. BUT IF I MAY, please react to the songs Rollin Rollin, Change The World, and Game Over. All three are fantastic songs but don't get many reactions because they don't have music videos, only audio tracks. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. Love you guys and your channel! Keep it up!!🤘🤘🤘
Nemophila's origin story is that the singer, Mayu, was in a band called Lipstick. She wanted to perform a solo show, so she contacted her friend and former classmate and kickass bass guitarist Haraguchi-san. They recruited drummer Tamu Murata, and a mutual friend introduced Mayu to Mary's Blood guitarist Saki (the one with auburn hair in this video). Saki brought former Disqualia guitarist Hazuki on board. They all felt that the lineup was too good to be a one and done, so Nemophila was born after they chose a "softer" name (nemophila are blue flowers with five petals).
Funny thing is, as Mayu told in a recent interview, that she chose these players just because they were good-looking, and she was surprised to find these ladies were virtuoso.
@@outwest1014 Yes, but what's funny is, though Mayu thought Haraguchi-San was cute and wanted to be friends with her, she quitted the school before Mayu contacted her. So it was when Mayu started looking for a bass player that they actually talked each other.
I just saw them in concert on Monday night in NYC and it was the best concert I have been too. They are frickin amazing Live! Next... Adabana or Sieze the Fate
Yooooooo glad you're on the Nemophila train now 🥳 Apart from Rise, I highly recommend Dissension and Hypnosis. Both the MV and official live of Dissension are worth reacting to! Keen to see more Nemophila reactions on your channel. I'm really excited to see the metal journey you're both on 😁
LOL - You guys are really falling headfirst down the J-Metal/Rock wormhole. I just saw Nemophila with 2 of my sons in the Scout Bar in Houston last Tuesday. I think the next time I see them it's more likely to be in a much larger venue. They are a newer band - established in late 2019 when Mayu (vocals) needed a band to support a show. This group of ladies joined her, and something 'clicked'. During the Covid crisis they did lots of 'covers' on UA-cam while they wrote/arranged/practiced their own original songs. These ladies, like Lovebites, and Band-Maid on the Rock music side, are a sort of Super Group, formed by chance - for our enjoyment. Enjoying your trip down the Wormhole so much I subbed to watch it happen 🙂. p.s. you have only scratched the surface of of J-Metal/Rock - there are more Japanese bands that will surprise you in this way than you have reacted to yet - by quite a bit.
Nemophila is pure 🔥🔥🔥. They exude excellence in everything they do. They play a wide variety of styles. Mayu is is a spectacular vocalist and is incredibly versatile. The whole band is world class. I recommend you check out Revive or Adabana next . Japanese metal is the best metal.

I am still enjoying the high of seeing Nemophila live two nights ago in Dallas, which was the next to last city on their first US tour. They put on a fantastic show in a pretty small club. I am hoping that like Band-Maid (who I saw in Dallas this past October) their second US tour will be in front of larger crowds in bigger venues. They deserve it. Such immense talent. For a next song, I suggest their live performance of the song Oiran. The video was filmed at a one day festival called Naon no Yaon which spotlights female rock and metal artists. In 2021, the festival had to be live streamed so they are playing to cameras instead of a crowd but they still give it 110% - ua-cam.com/video/19VQ9tkWksQ/v-deo.html
Awesome stuff of them. This song has everything. So energizing, and (as you said) so positive. Light-bearing, confidence-bringing, highlighting everyone's individual value and way in life. "Are you living the best version of yourself?" In my opinion, the "sister" of this song is "Revive", also immensely energizing and positive. And this painter...! I thought, "What is he painting the whole time?", only to see at the end, that his picture puts the song lyrics in a nutshell. (Keep your head up, and your face in the sun.) And it is a creme blob on this cake of a song. A hot recommendation of mine: "Adabana" (also from Nemophila). *THE* song from them.
These ladies are the best at brutal positive affirmation and they’re even better live. Just saw them in NY last night. They have tons of songs and covers . Pick any. I’m going to recommend another Japanese all women band: Trident’s “Spoopy”. I also love for you to return yo Band-Maid. Either Different or Warning. But the music videos, not the live ones. Thanks
Рік тому
thanks for looking into Nemo.. You know, there are loads of great japanese rock and metal bands just waiting for you to find. What i like most is the positive energy and empowerment withhout aggression.
Easiest thing to do is go back to 2019 when they started and pick RAITEI then DISSENSION then OIRAN (live at NAON@YAON2021) They seriously dont have a bad song. Then there's their covers. Joy to the world.🤘💙💙💙💙💙
I should mention that the drummer from Nemophila, Tamu Murata, was a VERY successful top tier professional SESSION DRUMMER in Japan. She sight reads music on drums (like perfectly, it's her job), and you can find videos of other major j-metal bands performing live concerts where Tamu is the fill in drummer, and she's there wailing on the drums nailing everything perfectly while SIGHT READING CHARTS. That's the level of incredible musicianship in this group.... cuz, I mean, she's a drum god, but she's like "just the drummer", if you get my drift... you saw the incredible guitarists, and their bassist Haraguchi-san is amazing, and their vocalist Mayu is, as you have seen and heard, completely unique in the world. There's nobody with the same voice as Mayu, or the same ideas as her. She sings largely in English even though she still doesn't really understand the language much (she needs translators for interviews still), but she is working on it. It was phonetic English at first, but she actually WRITES the lyrics, and works them out in English herself through hard work, which is just amazing. So the meanings of the songs come from Mayu, cross language/culture and all. The only member (that I'm aware of) who speaks and understands English pretty well is Saki (black guitar named "killer"... look at the headstock if you don't believe me LoL), and she's kind of a legendary guitarist in Japan. Been around many years, and truly a star before co-forming nemophila. And the guitarist SHE brought in (the blue pretty looking guitar) is a monster player also. If you ever watch a live concert video of Nemophila... make note of the bassist's constant look of sheer shocked joy and happiness that she's playing live shows doing the music she loves... she always looks just shocked that she's on stage doing this, from start to end of the show LoL
I agree that Saki is the only one that speaks English well at least conversationally. However, I’ve followed Tamu for a while and was blown away from how well she is now reading and speaking English. She is not at Saki’s, level, but if you haven’t checked out her Hit_5, or Hit1_5 on her channel I highly recommend it. It’s quite entertaining. Cheers.
Great reaction! Nemophila is amazing. Recommending some of their other songs: Nemophila - Dissension: very heavy, kinda rips your face off Nemophila - Adabana: slower but still heavy, more like very heavy grungy rock Nemophila - Life: ballad written about their drummer and her fear that she would not be able to return to music after the birth of her second child
Everything by Nemophila is awesome. "Dissension", "Oiran" (live), "Raitei", "Revive", "Hypnosis", "Style", "Hozuki", "Life", "Now I Here" for their own music. For covers "The Trooper", "Aces High", "Megitsune", "Die, Die My Darling", "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Youth Gone Wild", and "Separate Ways".
Some Japanese bands, old and new. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], BABYMETAL [All their songs, because they are all different], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Earthworm], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma, Patriot Anthem (Live)], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], LONESOME_BLUE [Face the Fear], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], TRiDENT [Ambivalent, Spoopy, ...], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], MERGINGMOON [Greyen], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], JILUKA [Mephisto, Overkill], BROKEN BY THE SCREAM [Emotion Cross-Counter], FATE GEAR [Unbreakable Wings], LYNCH [Devil], GACHARIC SPIN [Mindset], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], DEVILOOF [Torture], JUPITER [My Enemy], NOKUTO [Life of Desire], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], SAISEIGA [Ride On], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Hypnosis], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Overkill, or Lluvia], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], A CROWD OF REBELLION [Re:Create of the Re:d], PALEDUSK [Area PD], POLKADOT STINGRAY [any song], MUTANT MONSTERS [Abnormal], BLACKLAB [Insanity], ASTERISM [Rising Moon, Unravel, or Church], NOISEMAKER [Hunter or Prey], BiSH [The Night When Stars Twinkle], SCANDAL [A.M.D.K.J.], DEEP GIRL [I kill], Mrs. GREEN APPLE [Inferno], BRATS [Doudatte Yokatta], THE ORAL CIGARETTES [Frenzy Hey Kids!!], GIRUGAMESH [Drain], LiLiHoLi [From Darkness to Light], THE DEVIL’S KILLING MERRY-GO-ROUND [Diabolos], and many many more...
You have barely scratched the surface on Japans all female metal revolution they have about a dozen awesome female metal bands and hard rock bands that include Bridear-Ignite,Aldious-We Are,Mary's Blood-Starlight,Destrose- Maze (Where Haruna and Miho were before lovebites) ,Show-Ya-Tokyo I Scream,Gacharic Spin-Mindset
Great reaction! Came here for the Nemophila, staying here for the awesomeness! You have a new subscriber. As others have said, DISSENSION, OIRAN (live from Naon no Yaon 2021 show), STYLE, REVIVE and especially LIFE are great ones to look into. They also have a long list of fantastic covers they did during the last couple years. For other bands, I recommend checking out Maximum the Hormone (for crazy heavy stuff), Gacharic Spin (for intense energy and fun) and also Nigen Isu (for classic metal riffage). 🤘
Nemophila as you are pronouncing it is how it is said in most of the world. North American botanists more often put the accent on the second syllable, and it is a North American flower genus, mostly populated by variations on "Baby Blue Eyes." Although native to this country, the flower is very popular in Japan. Like Rock and Roll. Hitachi Seaside Park there turns blue every spring because this flower covers the hills. Nemophila has five petals... as the band has five members.
Great reaction guys… I would like to recommend another group called Asterism… a three piece metal band from Japan with lots and lots of talent. I think that both of you will enjoy… I would like to recommend a song called Dawn live 2019…
I love nemophila, they are actually all members of other groups as well but formed this band, so they were all already successful before forming this band and is why everything they do is so good. It is almost shocking how Japan has band maid, nemophila, love bites and other female fronted bands with this extreme level of talented musicians. Interesting for this group is they also have covers. They did a babymetal, Kiss, Iron Maiden, motley crue and others. Since you both are liking these bands, I can suggest an all male band from India called Bloodywood, I found them through watching reactions to these female japanese bands.
One of my fav bands. They are kick ass!!! Just saw them in Texas this past weekend. TheyJust released their second Album back in December. This song is a new release actually not even on the new album. They are always pumping out great music. All them are amazing musicians. Mayu the lead singer is incredible. Try their first song they recorded together. Oiran official Live. Also try Dissension,Revive, RAITEI Adabana, Seize the Fate, Monsters. There is even more. Al their songs are kick ass and they also did a number of amazing covers back in covid lockdown. From AC/DC ,Iron Maiden and many others.
My favorite from them is "Adabana". I love that song for personal reasons and have a personal interpretation of what it's all about. I'll tell you if you want to know. Just ask and I will.
Looking forward to your journey into Japanese music, I'm 72 and have seen it all, got into the music of Japan during Pandemic lockdowns and never looked back, so many great bands, maybe one of the older bands "Show Ya" since 1982 and still going, ua-cam.com/video/2i-0GcCz18Q/v-deo.html Don't let the slow start fool you, hang on to your seat
The video is still very new. It was released while the girls were on tour in America. No one knows who the halodri is, who jumps around there between the girls and swings the brush. 🤘🤘
For their original songs, I suggest ADABANA, RAITEI, Seize the Fate, DISSENSION, REVIVE, LIFE, GAME OVER, Monsters, ZEN. And even their cover songs such as Aces High, The trooper(iron maiden), Given Up(Linkin Park), Kurenai(X Japan), etc.
Ok, from my favourites bands you reacted to: Band Maid Lovebites The Warning Nemophila and Hanabie Next for from my favourites are: - Asterism (NEXT!) - Alien Weaponry - Mary's Blood - Ad Infinitum - Unleash the Archers - Unlucky Morpheus - Avatar - Sabaton - Epica - Nightwish
I can recommend their debut album OIRAN. It's a delightful listen and you'll get a good taste of this band from it - As with Band Maid and Lovebites, dig deep! As a side note I'll also recommend another related outfit - LISA X BAND, a trio which comprises Nemophila's guitarist Hazuki, 17 year old prodigy guitarist Lisa and the delightful Rina on vocals. I don't know if LISA X have released an actual physical album.. I think they've only released their material in stream form and that's a damn shame because it's beautiful stuff and fully deserving of a proper release. The only two songs which seem to be out there (when I last looked) are "One More Chance Is Enough" and "Looking Up To You", which are thoroughly beautiful songs and come highly recommended for your attention.. Fun fact - the former track features guest bass from Billy Sheehan and drums from Shane Gaalaas!
My favorite of japanese metal/rock bands, but there are so many good bands over there. Some of my favorite tracks of theirs: 'Adabana', 'Zen', 'Raitei' But you can't choose a bad song from them, because there aren't any 🙂 Some of the other bands: Asterism (instrumental 3-piece) check out 'Church', 'gunfire', 'dawn',... Gacharic Spin with 'I wish I', 'mindset',... (and their spin off --> Doll$Boxx) Trident with 'Spoopy', 'Cry out',... And there are so many more. Enjoy the journey
You have stumbled onto one superb band there all virtuoso standard funny and have a band chemistry that's a joy to see . They just keep putting out banger after banger with 2 full albums already and there cover songs done in there practice rooms are very entertaining .Your play list will very quickly fill up with Nemophila LOL as they dont do any thing other than off the scale LOL .My advice would be start back at the start of there YT channel with Oiran and the Iron Maiden cover.
Nemophilia, Revive Band maid, Blooming Babymetal, Road of Resistance live in Japan Wagakigi Band, Homura One ok Rock, We Are Man with a mission, My Hero X Japan, Kurenai
Nemophila has two wonderful albums chock full of great songs, as well as a boatload of covers on UA-cam, and a couple songs like "Rise" that aren't on an album or CD. I recommend "Adabana", "Seize the Fate", and "Life" official music videos. For "Life", make sure you use the official music video and not the official LIVE video (for maximum effect + captions), and have some tissues handy. "Oiran" live at Naon Yaon 2021 official live video is a great example of their live performance. The only complaint I have about Nemophila that their songs are too short. On their most recent release, Seize the Fate, there is an amazing song called "Back into the Wild" that is only 2:59 long. I could listen to 20:59 of that one and love it.
Well fellow Chicagoans, Band-Maid will be here in Lalapalooza!!! I keep saying I want a new Lilithfare with Band-Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila. There some female power right? The talent over there is amazing right?

I have found listings of over 600 such bands dating back to 1980. These are my picks as the most interesting for reasons of quality, longevity or historical impact.

To get a sense of the personality of these ladies and their chemistry as a band, I recommend the in-studio video for their demo version of Oiran (their best song and show closer): ua-cam.com/video/eyb2NtPwcxc/v-deo.html
You need to check out Rolling Quartz, Delight, Blaze or Azalia. Rolling Quartz is an all girl Korean rock band, one of too few. Mary's Blood is another great Japanese girls hard rock/metal band the guitarist from Nemophila used to be in... I'd start with World's End by Mary's Blood. As far as Nemophila goes Oiran, Adabana and Revive are all good, I like Dissention personally.
There are three top all female rock/heavy metal bands out of the land of rising sun [Japan] - [I don't include Baby Metal since Su-Metal, Moa-Metal and the previous Yui-Metal are not musicians, the music was played by professional session musicians known as Kami Band]... The three to all female rock/heavy metal band from Japan are Nemophila, Band Maid and Lovebites. Nemophila as a band is the newest one, formed in 2019. Lovebites and Band Maid already have a strong fan base years ago before the formation of Nemophila. I listen to all of them [thanks to Baby Metal]. But I can conclude that [and again this is my personal opinion], Nemophila top Band Maid and Lovebites by a huge margin. Nemophila evolved since 2019 from doing the cover songs into damn original songs that I think could classic heavy metal songs in decades to come. If you want to hear the original Nemophila songs... try to listen to their old songs namely Sorai, Oiran and Raitei... If you want to listen to heavy metal songs with out of this world music arrangement, listen to Hypnosis and Adabana. If you want to listen to same song structure as this Rise song, you can listen to Dissension, Ray of Light and Seize the Fate [I don't include Revive in the same category]. Don't forget to listen to their ballad songs as well... and their best ballad song in my opinion is still Life [a song with full emotion about the journey that they have to take during their early days of band formation]. In short Nemophila produces wide range of music [including Avril Lavigne pop punk music] and they did it in their own Nemophila way. And don't get me started to talk about their best cover version songs such as Iron Maiden, Journey, Baby Metal, and the latest cover song [yes they still do the cover song even until now] Walk by Foo Fighter. Not all but at least half of the cover songs that they did are totally awesome. Rise is one of their good songs [maybe top ten or top 5] but by far Rise is not what I could consider as their best song [the problem is, Nemophila keep coming with all of the outstanding songs almost non-stop... seriously shit don't know when these girls would stop producing good music and good song]... LOL
Ok, you guys are ready for The List. You have already done a few of these, so forgive any overlap. Also, this doesn't fit into one comment, so it's split between two comments. Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are high quality and are representative of the band's style. If you put the question out there, you are likely to get suggestions mainly for Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. You can’t go wrong with any of those, but find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you. My personal favorites include Asterism, Bridear, Doll$Boxx, existTtrace, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary’s Blood, Sokoninaru and Tricot. Ok, the list: Show-Ya (1981 The original female J-metal band, founded before Metallica-this is from their 24th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring) They have a strong Deep Purple vibe, and in my view they belong in any rock or music hall of fame: “I am the Storm” ua-cam.com/video/oJ_5Gv3vFjQ/v-deo.html Shonen Knife (1981 The world’s first bubblegum punk band. They have done several world tours, and opened for Nirvana, who were big fans. They also perform as a Ramones tribute band called Osaka Ramones): ua-cam.com/video/w9LUlYzOiWs/v-deo.html Destrose (2005; This band was never stable, but has become almost mythic in metal history, because so many great bands spun out of Destrose, including Lovebites--you will recognize the drummer and bassist): ua-cam.com/video/G1VwEGHPIhs/v-deo.html Aldious (2008 Glamorous and kick-ass rockers-one of the first generation all-girl metal bands, along with Destrose) ua-cam.com/video/sfkJT0rra-8/v-deo.html Asterism (2013 Not all female, but will melt your face off- the guitarist Haruka Noma is off the charts talented and still a teen-ager) ua-cam.com/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/v-deo.html Babymetal (2010 The flagship “Kawaii metal” band and the most well-known Japanese metal act outside of Japan. Combining “Kawaii” (cute) Japanese pop tropes over thunderous heavy metal backing) ua-cam.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/v-deo.html Band-Maid (2013 OK, there are 150+ great songs by them. Easily the best known band on this list other than Babymetal, they are more hard rock and prog than metal. Just did a 14 city US tour in 2022 that sold out 48 hours after being listed.) Here is a live clip: ua-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/v-deo.html Bridear (2011 Heavy, technical-and their tiny bassist also growls): ua-cam.com/video/LQIDqudG_DQ/v-deo.html Cyntia (2011 Second wave, hard, heavy, but with prog and symphonic touches) ua-cam.com/video/FnhObh5i_3U/v-deo.html D-Drive (2009 Instrumental progressive metal and fusion; Mixed gender. Extraordinary, technical dual lead guitars featuring Yuki and Seiji) Here is a lockdown version of their 2009 hit “Cassis Orange”: ua-cam.com/video/Mi0ykRvZ1LA/v-deo.html Disqualia (2015 Destrose spin-out, featuring Narumi, one of the best guitarists of this generation, and Hazuki, then an up-and-coming talent who is now a member of Nemophila) ua-cam.com/video/-M5zBKrTJRg/v-deo.html Doll$Boxx (2012 Wild mix of metal, electropop, and god-knows what else; a collaboration between Fuki and Gacharic Spin) ua-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/v-deo.html existTtrace (2003: Visual Kei, progressive, technical, some death-metal and goth touches) ua-cam.com/video/Oz1Lv8XGBF0/v-deo.html Fate Gear (2015 Super-group, one of the Destrose spinouts-continually changing lineup built around Mina (g) and (until very recently) Erica (b); I consider this video one of the best on this list): ua-cam.com/video/tLQbsoKQN-0/v-deo.html Gacharic Spin (2009 Founded by two high school classmates, Hana (Dr, Vo, multiple instruments) and Koga (B) who had already been in other bands (and was previously a lingerie model). Everything from punk-pop to heavy metal and progressive; highly technical) Here is their first video, with original singer Armmy (d. 2015): ua-cam.com/video/vfzIt20_xXg/v-deo.html Gallhammer (2003 Black/Death/Doom/Punk; this is from their 2007 UK/Europe tour; co-founder Vivien Slaughter is now making electronic ambient music!): ua-cam.com/video/2fTiyOO1nZE/v-deo.html Galmet (2006 Straight-up death metal, but in prom dresses) ua-cam.com/video/PnvrOLeRt-I/v-deo.html Ganglion (2010 Metal with a hint of electronica): ua-cam.com/video/q9j4t3Ms-Sg/v-deo.html Hagane (2018 Started with Sakura posting blistering metal guitar covers on youtube while in high-school, and the rest of the girls finding her; full lineup came together in 2019) The lead guitarist does a magical solo using a Phrygian scale at warp speed: ua-cam.com/video/k8NTRJ_yTxY/v-deo.html Hanabie (2019 Kawaii death metal, deathcore, thrash. Technical. Most frequent comment is “That’s nuts.” One of the bands to watch over the next few years.) ua-cam.com/video/G18yyvPCiTM/v-deo.html Kakumei (2013--see Trident, below)
There are too many insane tracks from this band. The recent Seize the Fate and Adabana could be the next ones, but honestly, this band deserves a larger exposure and you will never be disappointed by these stunning ladies if you decide to react to their entire catalog, including most of their covers, but more importantly all the tracks on their two albums "Revive" and "Seize the fate", which actually includes some pure gems which do not have MV on UA-cam. Enjoy! 🤘😁 My favorite band all around with Hanabie. 🔥🔥🔥
Nemophila has become my favorite band. I saw these awesome ladies in SF, LA, Houston, and Dallas. Great reaction.
This song and Revive are my go to when things get hard. If you are a fan of hard rock/heavy metal nothings better than what's coming out of Japan right now.
Great reaction, and yes there is much more to be discovered by them. I just saw them live here in Texas and they totally rocked. Try Revive, Adabana, or Dissension next!
❤️🔥❤️🔥Nemophila❤️🔥❤️🔥 theyre their own genre. Very diverse, amazing musicianship !
When I want nu metal, I listen to Nemophila.
When I want classic metal, I listen to Lovebites.
When I want scary + cute, I listen to Hanabie.
Japanese women metal bands are awesome.
NEMOPHILA GAVE MORE POWER TO THE NUMETAL METALCORE
Try Revive or Seize the Fate by Nemophila. They also do a lot of cover songs from Kiss,Iron Maiden, ACDC, and even a cover of Journeys Seperate Ways.
Super stressful day at work. This fun reaction to one of my favorite bands of all time was just what the doctor ordered to unwind. Thanks!
Sorry to hear that and glad we could help!!
Oh. I love Nemophila. This band always blow your mind. They are an amazing professionals.
My favourite songs are "Dissension" and "Adabana". You have to watch these music videos.
Thank you for the reaction. More Japanese bands on the channel.
Nemophila is a band formed by musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. They can do whatever genre they want, mayu has a rich voice to sing many kinds of music, and they do many different styles in their music. I recommend《dissension》or《adabana》as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
I am happy you’re liking these wonderful Japanese bands that y’all are reacting because I think they are incredible!! I just saw Nemophila on Sunday night in Dallas, Tx. and they were incredible, they sounded really great and put on a fun show. I am going to see Band-Maid in Austin, Tx in May and I am beyond excited. I am hoping Lovebites and Hanabie come to Texas soon, and hopefully The Warning comes back soon also because I missed them last year.
The Warning in Houston 5/13 and Dallas 5/14 ! :) So you could definitely see them and Band-Maid in the same week.
@@TlanImass wow thanks, I need to look for that. I have VIP ticket for May 15th for Band-Maid in Austin.
@@jrhaney11 you’re welcome! Good luck! I didn’t look if tickets are still available.
@@TlanImass it looks like plenty of seats are available in Houston and Dallas on stubhub any section is available if you want to spend enough money. I just want to make sure it won’t interfere with Band-maid on the 15th. Maybe Houston!
Ooooooh...........the Japanese music rabbit hole is wide & and deep. Enjoy yourselves !! 😏❤️🎙🎸🥁😎🤘 Try " Adabana. "
saw NEMOPHILA in concert in San Diego , WoW , what a great show.
these ladies rock !
NEMOPHILA other songs Seize The Fate, Revive, Dissension(US version) Raitei, cover songs Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, KISS, AC/DC, Skid Row, Linkin Park, they are currently live in USA tours MAC 2023...
Guys, check also

TRIDENT-JAPAN(all female) - songs Voltage, No Regret, Continue...
ASTERISM(female guitarist) songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Blaze, Church, watch her crazy solo's and crazy 7string bass solo's
They just finished their first US tour. I saw them in San Francisco and they were great. I’d recommend Revive, Raitei, or Adabana. Life is also great if you want something more mellow.
NEMOPHILA!!! they are my no.1 favourite heavy metal band!!!!! Love them so much!!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am 67 years old, and Nemophila is my favorite band!
I recommend everything they do, period. But, to see
their range variety try .. "MONSTERS", "Life", "Adabana"
Plus .. they are also great at covering other bands songs!!
Hey guys!!! Welcome to Nemophila!! Pronounced Neh-mo-FEEL-uh. My second favorite band behind The Warning. Want another great rabbit hole to go down? This is it! Good ones to start with are Revive, Adabana, Dissension, and Life. BUT IF I MAY, please react to the songs Rollin Rollin, Change The World, and Game Over. All three are fantastic songs but don't get many reactions because they don't have music videos, only audio tracks. YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. Love you guys and your channel! Keep it up!!🤘🤘🤘
Nemophila's origin story is that the singer, Mayu, was in a band called Lipstick. She wanted to perform a solo show, so she contacted her friend and former classmate and kickass bass guitarist Haraguchi-san. They recruited drummer Tamu Murata, and a mutual friend introduced Mayu to Mary's Blood guitarist Saki (the one with auburn hair in this video). Saki brought former Disqualia guitarist Hazuki on board. They all felt that the lineup was too good to be a one and done, so Nemophila was born after they chose a "softer" name (nemophila are blue flowers with five petals).
Funny thing is, as Mayu told in a recent interview, that she chose these players just because they were good-looking, and she was surprised to find these ladies were virtuoso.
Haraguchi-san and Mayu went to school together.
@@outwest1014 Yes, that's why I said "former classmate"
@@dudleysmith4394 She wasn't wrong on that count for sure!
@@outwest1014 Yes, but what's funny is, though Mayu thought Haraguchi-San was cute and wanted to be friends with her, she quitted the school before Mayu contacted her. So it was when Mayu started looking for a bass player that they actually talked each other.
I just saw them in concert on Monday night in NYC and it was the best concert I have been too. They are frickin amazing Live! Next... Adabana or Sieze the Fate
日本から、ありがとうございます！
I would like to recommend Bridear- Light in the Dark, and Aldious- We Are.
I'd have to recommend watching...their entire back catalogue* (also applies to every female Japanese Metal and Rock band)
どのリアクションも楽しい。ありがとう。
Saw them last night in NYC! AMAZING Show!!
Just went to their concert in Houston a couple of weeks ago. It was such an amazing show and they sound just as amazing live as they do recorded
I just saw them this weekend in Texas 🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟👍👍🙏
Yooooooo glad you're on the Nemophila train now 🥳 Apart from Rise, I highly recommend Dissension and Hypnosis. Both the MV and official live of Dissension are worth reacting to! Keen to see more Nemophila reactions on your channel. I'm really excited to see the metal journey you're both on 😁
LOL - You guys are really falling headfirst down the J-Metal/Rock wormhole. I just saw Nemophila with 2 of my sons in the Scout Bar in Houston last Tuesday. I think the next time I see them it's more likely to be in a much larger venue. They are a newer band - established in late 2019 when Mayu (vocals) needed a band to support a show. This group of ladies joined her, and something 'clicked'. During the Covid crisis they did lots of 'covers' on UA-cam while they wrote/arranged/practiced their own original songs. These ladies, like Lovebites, and Band-Maid on the Rock music side, are a sort of Super Group, formed by chance - for our enjoyment. Enjoying your trip down the Wormhole so much I subbed to watch it happen 🙂. p.s. you have only scratched the surface of of J-Metal/Rock - there are more Japanese bands that will surprise you in this way than you have reacted to yet - by quite a bit.
Great reaction guys!!! Nemophila is touring America at the moment, just wish they playing somewhere near me.
Nemophila is pure 🔥🔥🔥. They exude excellence in everything they do. They play a wide variety of styles. Mayu is is a spectacular vocalist and is incredibly versatile. The whole band is world class. I recommend you check out Revive or Adabana next .
Japanese metal is the best metal.
Now it is time to Gacharic Spin
Me gusta mucho Nemophila 🔥 espectacular banda y cantante! 😎🤘
Japan has great metal bands 🎸😍

Salud y Rock and Roll .
Japan's music industry is 3 times larger than that of the USA (for the same population).
I am still enjoying the high of seeing Nemophila live two nights ago in Dallas, which was the next to last city on their first US tour. They put on a fantastic show in a pretty small club. I am hoping that like Band-Maid (who I saw in Dallas this past October) their second US tour will be in front of larger crowds in bigger venues. They deserve it. Such immense talent.
For a next song, I suggest their live performance of the song Oiran. The video was filmed at a one day festival called Naon no Yaon which spotlights female rock and metal artists. In 2021, the festival had to be live streamed so they are playing to cameras instead of a crowd but they still give it 110% - ua-cam.com/video/19VQ9tkWksQ/v-deo.html
You hit the nail on the head. They tend more to the heavier side but layer in a good message.
Very trendy and very rock show from Japan, congrats
Awesome stuff of them. This song has everything. So energizing, and (as you said) so positive. Light-bearing, confidence-bringing, highlighting everyone's individual value and way in life. "Are you living the best version of yourself?"
In my opinion, the "sister" of this song is "Revive", also immensely energizing and positive.
And this painter...! I thought, "What is he painting the whole time?", only to see at the end, that his picture puts the song lyrics in a nutshell. (Keep your head up, and your face in the sun.) And it is a creme blob on this cake of a song.
A hot recommendation of mine: "Adabana" (also from Nemophila). *THE* song from them.
They’re great! Heavy-Dissension, softer/personal- Life. 🤘. They also did in studio covers !!
These ladies are the best at brutal positive affirmation and they’re even better live. Just saw them in NY last night. They have tons of songs and covers . Pick any.
I’m going to recommend another Japanese all women band: Trident’s “Spoopy”.
I also love for you to return yo Band-Maid. Either Different or Warning. But the music videos, not the live ones. Thanks
thanks for looking into Nemo.. You know, there are loads of great japanese rock and metal bands just waiting for you to find. What i like most is the positive energy and empowerment withhout aggression.
Besides Revive or Seize the Fate (already suggested) try Raitei or Adabana or, or or... they are new but have a number of great songs.
Great reaction guys , Nemophila are on a top level, another band from Japan for you, Lonesome Blue song Face the Fear
They are fantastic. This is their latest. Also try Raitei, Revive, Hypnosis, Style, Dissension, Seize the Fate.
The best band going today IMO I was also at the Dallas show Sunday night it was awesome
😀😀😀😀😀 from Argentina
Easiest thing to do is go back to 2019 when they started and pick RAITEI then DISSENSION then OIRAN (live at NAON@YAON2021) They seriously dont have a bad song. Then there's their covers. Joy to the world.🤘💙💙💙💙💙
Welcome to the "Fluffy Hell" ... Start from the beginning.. Their 2020 cover of Iron Maiden's - The Trooper...
I should mention that the drummer from Nemophila, Tamu Murata, was a VERY successful top tier professional SESSION DRUMMER in Japan. She sight reads music on drums (like perfectly, it's her job), and you can find videos of other major j-metal bands performing live concerts where Tamu is the fill in drummer, and she's there wailing on the drums nailing everything perfectly while SIGHT READING CHARTS. That's the level of incredible musicianship in this group.... cuz, I mean, she's a drum god, but she's like "just the drummer", if you get my drift... you saw the incredible guitarists, and their bassist Haraguchi-san is amazing, and their vocalist Mayu is, as you have seen and heard, completely unique in the world. There's nobody with the same voice as Mayu, or the same ideas as her. She sings largely in English even though she still doesn't really understand the language much (she needs translators for interviews still), but she is working on it. It was phonetic English at first, but she actually WRITES the lyrics, and works them out in English herself through hard work, which is just amazing. So the meanings of the songs come from Mayu, cross language/culture and all.
The only member (that I'm aware of) who speaks and understands English pretty well is Saki (black guitar named "killer"... look at the headstock if you don't believe me LoL), and she's kind of a legendary guitarist in Japan. Been around many years, and truly a star before co-forming nemophila. And the guitarist SHE brought in (the blue pretty looking guitar) is a monster player also.
If you ever watch a live concert video of Nemophila... make note of the bassist's constant look of sheer shocked joy and happiness that she's playing live shows doing the music she loves... she always looks just shocked that she's on stage doing this, from start to end of the show LoL
I agree that Saki is the only one that speaks English well at least conversationally. However, I’ve followed Tamu for a while and was blown away from how well she is now reading and speaking English. She is not at Saki’s, level, but if you haven’t checked out her Hit_5, or Hit1_5 on her channel I highly recommend it. It’s quite entertaining. Cheers.
@@michelm.6033 cool!!!!! Thanks i will check that out!!
Sorry, Hi_4 with Tamu and Mayu was the cutest. Here’s the link if it works.
ua-cam.com/users/livefDcGT9ARWzk?feature=share
Great reaction! Nemophila is amazing. Recommending some of their other songs:
Nemophila - Dissension: very heavy, kinda rips your face off
Nemophila - Adabana: slower but still heavy, more like very heavy grungy rock
Nemophila - Life: ballad written about their drummer and her fear that she would not be able to return to music after the birth of her second child
Everything by Nemophila is awesome. "Dissension", "Oiran" (live), "Raitei", "Revive", "Hypnosis", "Style", "Hozuki", "Life", "Now I Here" for their own music. For covers "The Trooper", "Aces High", "Megitsune", "Die, Die My Darling", "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Youth Gone Wild", and "Separate Ways".
Nemophila is a really great band.You should check out the song called "Life' it's a really great song that deserves the recognition.
And... Here we have my favourite band.

This is my daily affirmation metal ❤
You have barely scratched the surface on Japans all female metal revolution they have about a dozen awesome female metal bands and hard rock bands that include Bridear-Ignite,Aldious-We Are,Mary's Blood-Starlight,Destrose- Maze (Where Haruna and Miho were before lovebites) ,Show-Ya-Tokyo I Scream,Gacharic Spin-Mindset
Great reaction! Came here for the Nemophila, staying here for the awesomeness! You have a new subscriber. As others have said, DISSENSION, OIRAN (live from Naon no Yaon 2021 show), STYLE, REVIVE and especially LIFE are great ones to look into. They also have a long list of fantastic covers they did during the last couple years. For other bands, I recommend checking out Maximum the Hormone (for crazy heavy stuff), Gacharic Spin (for intense energy and fun) and also Nigen Isu (for classic metal riffage). 🤘
👏👏👏👏👏🤘nem💀phila🤘❤❤❤❤❤ muy buena reacción 👊✌
Great reaction guys, if you want to check more Nemophila, I would suggest Dissension (very heavy), Oiran or Adabana.
If you liked "Rise" , You will absolutely love Dissention.
Nemophila as you are pronouncing it is how it is said in most of the world. North American botanists more often put the accent on the second syllable, and it is a North American flower genus, mostly populated by variations on "Baby Blue Eyes."
Although native to this country, the flower is very popular in Japan. Like Rock and Roll. Hitachi Seaside Park there turns blue every spring because this flower covers the hills.
Nemophila has five petals... as the band has five members.
Well, next song should be Dissension 🔥 Good reaction btw 👍
Great reaction guys… I would like to recommend another group called Asterism… a three piece metal band from Japan with lots and lots of talent. I think that both of you will enjoy… I would like to recommend a song called Dawn live 2019…
Lovebites closest competition. FYI Nemophila is a 5 petaled Blue flower. Great Reaction as usual. Just Subbed
LoL....are you guys in for a ride!
I love nemophila, they are actually all members of other groups as well but formed this band, so they were all already successful before forming this band and is why everything they do is so good. It is almost shocking how Japan has band maid, nemophila, love bites and other female fronted bands with this extreme level of talented musicians. Interesting for this group is they also have covers. They did a babymetal, Kiss, Iron Maiden, motley crue and others. Since you both are liking these bands, I can suggest an all male band from India called Bloodywood, I found them through watching reactions to these female japanese bands.
good reaction, a good recommendation would be lonesome blue-parallel world
Welcome to "fluffy hell." My favorite band on the planet for a while now...
One of my fav bands. They are kick ass!!! Just saw them in Texas this past weekend. TheyJust released their second Album back in December. This song is a new release actually not even on the new album. They are always pumping out great music. All them are amazing musicians. Mayu the lead singer is incredible. Try their first song they recorded together. Oiran official Live. Also try Dissension,Revive, RAITEI Adabana, Seize the Fate, Monsters. There is even more. Al their songs are kick ass and they also did a number of amazing covers back in covid lockdown. From AC/DC ,Iron Maiden and many others.
I warned you about the Japanese rabbit hole! 😁
My favorite from them is "Adabana". I love that song for personal reasons and have a personal interpretation of what it's all about. I'll tell you if you want to know. Just ask and I will.
Looking forward to your journey into Japanese music, I'm 72 and have seen it all, got into the music of Japan during Pandemic lockdowns and never looked back, so many great bands, maybe one of the older bands "Show Ya" since 1982 and still going, ua-cam.com/video/2i-0GcCz18Q/v-deo.html Don't let the slow start fool you, hang on to your seat
The video is still very new. It was released while the girls were on tour in America.
No one knows who the halodri is, who jumps around there between the girls and swings the brush. 🤘🤘
For their original songs, I suggest ADABANA, RAITEI, Seize the Fate, DISSENSION, REVIVE, LIFE, GAME OVER, Monsters, ZEN. And even their cover songs such as Aces High, The trooper(iron maiden), Given Up(Linkin Park), Kurenai(X Japan), etc.
Ok, from my favourites bands you reacted to:
Band Maid
Lovebites
The Warning
Nemophila
and Hanabie
Next for from my favourites are:
- Asterism (NEXT!)
- Alien Weaponry
- Mary's Blood
- Ad Infinitum
- Unleash the Archers
- Unlucky Morpheus
- Avatar
- Sabaton
- Epica
- Nightwish
I can recommend their debut album OIRAN. It's a delightful listen and you'll get a good taste of this band from it - As with Band Maid and Lovebites, dig deep! As a side note I'll also recommend another related outfit - LISA X BAND, a trio which comprises Nemophila's guitarist Hazuki, 17 year old prodigy guitarist Lisa and the delightful Rina on vocals. I don't know if LISA X have released an actual physical album.. I think they've only released their material in stream form and that's a damn shame because it's beautiful stuff and fully deserving of a proper release. The only two songs which seem to be out there (when I last looked) are "One More Chance Is Enough" and "Looking Up To You", which are thoroughly beautiful songs and come highly recommended for your attention.. Fun fact - the former track features guest bass from Billy Sheehan and drums from Shane Gaalaas!
Lisa X Band are amazing.
My favorite of japanese metal/rock bands, but there are so many good bands over there.
Some of my favorite tracks of theirs: 'Adabana', 'Zen', 'Raitei'
But you can't choose a bad song from them, because there aren't any 🙂
Some of the other bands:
Asterism (instrumental 3-piece) check out 'Church', 'gunfire', 'dawn',...
Gacharic Spin with 'I wish I', 'mindset',...
(and their spin off --> Doll$Boxx)
Trident with 'Spoopy', 'Cry out',...
And there are so many more.
Enjoy the journey
Awesome reaction!!
Thank you!! 😁
Try more Nemophila. 'Revive', 'Life', 'Raitei' ... Basically just ALL the stuff.
Japan saved my enthusiasm for music.
Japan is ruling the metal music especially the women
You have stumbled onto one superb band there all virtuoso standard funny and have a band chemistry that's a joy to see . They just keep putting out banger after banger with 2 full albums already and there cover songs done in there practice rooms are very entertaining .Your play list will very quickly fill up with Nemophila LOL as they dont do any thing other than off the scale LOL .My advice would be start back at the start of there YT channel with Oiran and the Iron Maiden cover.
lol, immediately watch/listen to Nemophila's Hypnosis! It a definitely unique song. You will like it or not for sure.
Next Reacción the band LOVEBITES ,and the Song "Rising"
【NEMOPHILA】Japanese All-Female Supergroup. World-class drum/bass duo; Twin shredders; True front person.

Nemophila has two wonderful albums chock full of great songs, as well as a boatload of covers on UA-cam, and a couple songs like "Rise" that aren't on an album or CD. I recommend "Adabana", "Seize the Fate", and "Life" official music videos. For "Life", make sure you use the official music video and not the official LIVE video (for maximum effect + captions), and have some tissues handy. "Oiran" live at Naon Yaon 2021 official live video is a great example of their live performance.
The only complaint I have about Nemophila that their songs are too short. On their most recent release, Seize the Fate, there is an amazing song called "Back into the Wild" that is only 2:59 long. I could listen to 20:59 of that one and love it.
Well fellow Chicagoans, Band-Maid will be here in Lalapalooza!!! I keep saying I want a new Lilithfare with Band-Maid, Lovebites, and Nemophila. There some female power right? The talent over there is amazing right?
The List, part II:
Lisa-X Band (Prodigy 16-year-old guitarist Lisa-X and a rotating cast of fellow bandmembers, often including Hazuki (of Disqualia and Nemophila). ua-cam.com/video/mN_oLqTka6M/v-deo.html
Lonesome Blue (2021 Progressive rock, pop-metal fusion. This is Narumi’s (see below) long-awaited new band.) This song is a wild fusion of classic Disco with Metal: ua-cam.com/video/aEdyEEnMTy8/v-deo.html
Lovebites (2016 Modern Power, Speed, Thrash and Heavy Metal. Already making a global splash, melodic but face-meltingly technical. Here is their most famous official MV-it’s even better than Shadowmaker IMO) ua-cam.com/video/hLFelI93VkM/v-deo.html
Mardelas (2014 Another spin-off from Destrose; mixed male/female; leader Marina Hebiishi has one of the best voices in the biz) ua-cam.com/video/Wd8P7wTnWJs/v-deo.html

Maximum the Hormone (1998 Crazy, chaotic mashups of deathcore, nu-metal, pop and high-speed rapping. Co-founder Nao (drums) is the female member of the band. She has been a major influence on female drummers throughout Japan.) This clip captures just a bit of the madness: 予襲復讐 (Yoshu Fukushu) ua-cam.com/video/beN5ep5MrdY/v-deo.html

Nemophila: (2019 Supergroup of ex-Mary's Blood guitarist Saki, ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu, ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki, ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Muratatam.) ua-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/v-deo.html

Trident (formerly Kakumei, renamed in 2020 with some personnel changes. Evolved from pop-punk to thrashier hard rock; several lineup changes but the bassist and lead singer have been constants) ua-cam.com/video/9k9txMouU34/v-deo.html
Unlucky Morpheus (2008 Female leads Fuki (vo) and Jill (violin). This band is a deep well unto itself, they cross many subgenres of metal; Fuki and Jill also do other projects and Fuki is lead for at least two other bands including Doll$Boxx, above) ua-cam.com/video/V8i_QhOgsKw/v-deo.html
Wagakki Band (2012 Folk-Metal fusion band, all jedi-level musicians, half of them play traditional Japanese instruments and the other half play standard metal instruments) This song was originally written for a virtual (AI) singer, referred to as a Vocaloid
ua-cam.com/video/Q2meWkWqc-I/v-deo.html
Yōsei Teikoku (1997 Rock-Folk-Metal-Electronica fusion ensemble) Set up in a fictional Fairy Empire, led by founder Yui, they have done a lot of anime themes and sound-tracks and also perform original songs live, in character.
ua-cam.com/video/_EeYxtAeaX4/v-deo.html
There are many more (others that come to mind are BRATS, Drop’s, Stereopony, Scandal, Princess Princess, which all tend more in the pop direction, and the Bang-Dream projects, which are live groups based on Manga series. And of course, there are other female-fronted Kawaii-metal groups like Ladybaby and Ironbunny, to name the two best-known after Babymetal. I have found listings of over 600 such bands dating back to 1980. These are my picks as the most interesting for reasons of quality, longevity or historical impact. If you find others you think belong on this list, please let me know. And if you find a dead link, also please let me know so I can fix the list. Thank you!
To get a sense of the personality of these ladies and their chemistry as a band, I recommend the in-studio video for their demo version of Oiran (their best song and show closer): ua-cam.com/video/eyb2NtPwcxc/v-deo.html
You need to check out Rolling Quartz, Delight, Blaze or Azalia. Rolling Quartz is an all girl Korean rock band, one of too few. Mary's Blood is another great Japanese girls hard rock/metal band the guitarist from Nemophila used to be in... I'd start with World's End by Mary's Blood. As far as Nemophila goes Oiran, Adabana and Revive are all good, I like Dissention personally.
There are three top all female rock/heavy metal bands out of the land of rising sun [Japan] - [I don't include Baby Metal since Su-Metal, Moa-Metal and the previous Yui-Metal are not musicians, the music was played by professional session musicians known as Kami Band]... The three to all female rock/heavy metal band from Japan are Nemophila, Band Maid and Lovebites. Nemophila as a band is the newest one, formed in 2019. Lovebites and Band Maid already have a strong fan base years ago before the formation of Nemophila. I listen to all of them [thanks to Baby Metal]. But I can conclude that [and again this is my personal opinion], Nemophila top Band Maid and Lovebites by a huge margin. Nemophila evolved since 2019 from doing the cover songs into damn original songs that I think could classic heavy metal songs in decades to come. If you want to hear the original Nemophila songs... try to listen to their old songs namely Sorai, Oiran and Raitei... If you want to listen to heavy metal songs with out of this world music arrangement, listen to Hypnosis and Adabana. If you want to listen to same song structure as this Rise song, you can listen to Dissension, Ray of Light and Seize the Fate [I don't include Revive in the same category]. Don't forget to listen to their ballad songs as well... and their best ballad song in my opinion is still Life [a song with full emotion about the journey that they have to take during their early days of band formation]. In short Nemophila produces wide range of music [including Avril Lavigne pop punk music] and they did it in their own Nemophila way. And don't get me started to talk about their best cover version songs such as Iron Maiden, Journey, Baby Metal, and the latest cover song [yes they still do the cover song even until now] Walk by Foo Fighter. Not all but at least half of the cover songs that they did are totally awesome. Rise is one of their good songs [maybe top ten or top 5] but by far Rise is not what I could consider as their best song [the problem is, Nemophila keep coming with all of the outstanding songs almost non-stop... seriously shit don't know when these girls would stop producing good music and good song]... LOL
NEMOPHILA - ADABANA is my favorite
Ok, you guys are ready for The List. You have already done a few of these, so forgive any overlap. Also, this doesn't fit into one comment, so it's split between two comments.
Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are high quality and are representative of the band's style.
If you put the question out there, you are likely to get suggestions mainly for Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. You can’t go wrong with any of those, but find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you. My personal favorites include Asterism, Bridear, Doll$Boxx, existTtrace, Hagane, Hanabie, Mary’s Blood, Sokoninaru and Tricot. Ok, the list:
Show-Ya (1981 The original female J-metal band, founded before Metallica-this is from their 24th (!) anniversary concert-and they are still touring) They have a strong Deep Purple vibe, and in my view they belong in any rock or music hall of fame: “I am the Storm” ua-cam.com/video/oJ_5Gv3vFjQ/v-deo.html
Shonen Knife (1981 The world’s first bubblegum punk band. They have done several world tours, and opened for Nirvana, who were big fans. They also perform as a Ramones tribute band called Osaka Ramones): ua-cam.com/video/w9LUlYzOiWs/v-deo.html
Destrose (2005; This band was never stable, but has become almost mythic in metal history, because so many great bands spun out of Destrose, including Lovebites--you will recognize the drummer and bassist): ua-cam.com/video/G1VwEGHPIhs/v-deo.html
Aldious (2008 Glamorous and kick-ass rockers-one of the first generation all-girl metal bands, along with Destrose) ua-cam.com/video/sfkJT0rra-8/v-deo.html
Asterism (2013 Not all female, but will melt your face off- the guitarist Haruka Noma is off the charts talented and still a teen-ager) ua-cam.com/video/IfxMi0Bx4x0/v-deo.html
Babymetal (2010 The flagship “Kawaii metal” band and the most well-known Japanese metal act outside of Japan. Combining “Kawaii” (cute) Japanese pop tropes over thunderous heavy metal backing) ua-cam.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/v-deo.html
Band-Maid (2013 OK, there are 150+ great songs by them. Easily the best known band on this list other than Babymetal, they are more hard rock and prog than metal. Just did a 14 city US tour in 2022 that sold out 48 hours after being listed.) Here is a live clip: ua-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/v-deo.html
Bridear (2011 Heavy, technical-and their tiny bassist also growls): ua-cam.com/video/LQIDqudG_DQ/v-deo.html
Cyntia (2011 Second wave, hard, heavy, but with prog and symphonic touches)
ua-cam.com/video/FnhObh5i_3U/v-deo.html
D-Drive (2009 Instrumental progressive metal and fusion; Mixed gender. Extraordinary, technical dual lead guitars featuring Yuki and Seiji) Here is a lockdown version of their 2009 hit “Cassis Orange”: ua-cam.com/video/Mi0ykRvZ1LA/v-deo.html
Disqualia (2015 Destrose spin-out, featuring Narumi, one of the best guitarists of this generation, and Hazuki, then an up-and-coming talent who is now a member of Nemophila) ua-cam.com/video/-M5zBKrTJRg/v-deo.html
Doll$Boxx (2012 Wild mix of metal, electropop, and god-knows what else; a collaboration between Fuki and Gacharic Spin) ua-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/v-deo.html
existTtrace (2003: Visual Kei, progressive, technical, some death-metal and goth touches) ua-cam.com/video/Oz1Lv8XGBF0/v-deo.html
Fate Gear (2015 Super-group, one of the Destrose spinouts-continually changing lineup built around Mina (g) and (until very recently) Erica (b); I consider this video one of the best on this list): ua-cam.com/video/tLQbsoKQN-0/v-deo.html
Gacharic Spin (2009 Founded by two high school classmates, Hana (Dr, Vo, multiple instruments) and Koga (B) who had already been in other bands (and was previously a lingerie model). Everything from punk-pop to heavy metal and progressive; highly technical) Here is their first video, with original singer Armmy (d. 2015): ua-cam.com/video/vfzIt20_xXg/v-deo.html
Gallhammer (2003 Black/Death/Doom/Punk; this is from their 2007 UK/Europe tour; co-founder Vivien Slaughter is now making electronic ambient music!): ua-cam.com/video/2fTiyOO1nZE/v-deo.html
Galmet (2006 Straight-up death metal, but in prom dresses) ua-cam.com/video/PnvrOLeRt-I/v-deo.html
Ganglion (2010 Metal with a hint of electronica):
ua-cam.com/video/q9j4t3Ms-Sg/v-deo.html
Hagane (2018 Started with Sakura posting blistering metal guitar covers on youtube while in high-school, and the rest of the girls finding her; full lineup came together in 2019) The lead guitarist does a magical solo using a Phrygian scale at warp speed:
ua-cam.com/video/k8NTRJ_yTxY/v-deo.html
Hanabie (2019 Kawaii death metal, deathcore, thrash. Technical. Most frequent comment is “That’s nuts.” One of the bands to watch over the next few years.) ua-cam.com/video/G18yyvPCiTM/v-deo.html
Kakumei (2013--see Trident, below)
Unlike Lovebites, they are angry.
thr gigle man ! try marys blood song marionette, doll$boxx song take my chance, for nemophila oiran live at naon yaon 2021
or for something different try the wagakki band song homura/akatsuki no ito live another great reaction to the girls
There are too many insane tracks from this band. The recent Seize the Fate and Adabana could be the next ones, but honestly, this band deserves a larger exposure and you will never be disappointed by these stunning ladies if you decide to react to their entire catalog, including most of their covers, but more importantly all the tracks on their two albums "Revive" and "Seize the fate", which actually includes some pure gems which do not have MV on UA-cam. Enjoy! 🤘😁
My favorite band all around with Hanabie. 🔥🔥🔥
