This is a very under appreciated song. Of course I knew of them before this song, but this was my final hook. They simply reeled in a new fish. Love Nemophila. ❤️🌸
My favorite vocalist in metal...and anywhere else, really! Unreal fry screams AND incredibly evocative (and technically solid) smoky cleans...and then you add "weapon of mass charisma" stage presence. Mayu is a legit rockstar...in all the best sense of the word.
A couple other really good "two way" female metal singers in J-metal are Regan (Saiseiga) and Remi (solo, Orochi, RagDollz). And now that I think of it, with such focus on her incredible growls, Yukina (Hanabie.) doesn't always get enough credit for her "kawaii" cleans. I realize Matsuri does the heavy lifting with the cleans in that band, but Yukina's have moved beyond just kinda squeaking and into more nuanced territory.
Mayu is so awesome! Truthfully, Mayu's voice can go all over the place in a good way. To me, that puts her in a category with the awesomeness that is Mike Patton. Great reaction and great tune!
Saki, a natural headbanger... couldn't headbang in this MV because, a week or two before filming, she was overworked, fainted, and hit her head. Her young doctor (she said she had a "tiny" crush on him) told her, after stitchings (her temple)... "no more headbanging for the next weeks, youg lady!" Hence her newly adopted "royal / statuesque" stance in this MV. True story.... about 90% of it. 😅
Amazing song. Thank you for the reaction 🤘

Missing Saki that much more now - I got the CD at the show in NYC. Look forward to seeing the new version of the group in the USA soon.
🤘🤘
This will always be my #1 Nemophila song. Mayu's vocals are the best.
Not sure if there is a more versatile lead vocalist than Mayu...she can do it all!

I can't think of another vocalist out there that I hate there screams but love the cleans more than Mayu.
Ahhh man I love her screams 😂😂😅
@@JohnReavesLive She's always blown me away with those fry screams...and of late she's added some lower-register growls (like on G.O.D.).
