Heyyyy! I'd love to hear your thoughts on all 3 of these incredible bands and which one is your favorite! Who should be included in part 2? Thanks so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't! :) Nena
Hello Nena, thank you for this very well done analysis! I've been a huge fan of all three bands for a number of years now and I think all three are exceptional and unique! My heart lies with VOB though because of their activism and courage. They are the first band to reach the rock/metal world stage while wearing/practicing hijab, not only opening doors for (and inspiring) Muslimahs around the globe, but also smashing stereotypes and toxic perceptions, exactly what the world needs now (and probably always will...)
Yes, they are amazing on many levels! My jaw dropped when I first heard them play - so powerful! Love their message of unity and equality! 😊🤘🏻
Nemophila is my favourite band. The emphasis on positivity that you mentioned is one of the main reasons I love them.
VOB are just excellent. So tiny but with so much attitude. 'PMS' is my favourite VOB song, largely due to the vocals.
As for Hanabie, I think Yukina's ability to shift from growl to that incredible squeaky kawaii voice is as spectacular as Mayu's shift from fry-scream to beautiful, melodic cleans.
Three great bands. Asian women have revived this ancient metalhead's enthusiasm for music.
Indeed! So much incredible talent! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 😊🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock Thank you for asking for them! 🙂
Of course! I absolutely love talking about music and love to hear other people’s perspectives
VOB good for this generation. Their debut album was on 9th place on metalhummmer 2023.
Yes! 😊🤘🏻
Nemophila are amazing. It's unreal they haven't taken over the world yet. Haha
Thanks for shining a light. 🤟
Absolutely! I’m a huge fan! 😊🤘🏻
Lovely Nena, another great video. Great choices for this one. NEMOPHILA is so great. Had the honor of seeing the live here in L.A. back in March when they tired the U.S for the first time. Such a great performance. Yes, they're covers are great... especially their newest covers from their latest EP. However their original material is the best. As good as their albums may sound it's nothing compared to seeing them live. They're like The Warning in that regard....they sound better live which huge to say because their recordings sound great to begin with. I'm eagerly awaiting them to return to the U.S. so I can see them again.
VOB is great as well, do love them. Great covers as well as their original material. Probably my favorite thing that I've seen about them on UA-cam is the video of a zoom interview they were doing and the interviewers surprise them by bringing Tom Morello in on the call. So great to see one of their biggest influences bestow his blessing upon them. I very much want to see them live. I had the opportunity to see them at their first headline show here in the US back in August. Unfortunately due to travel delays, they had to cancel the show. I had another opportunity back in October when they were going to tour as an opener for Mongolian metal band The Hu. Unfortunately, they ended up having to drop out of that tour. So, I have yet to see them live but I'm hoping I'll be able to in 2024 🤞.
As far as Hanabi, I've heard the name but to be honest I never really listened to anything of theirs until I saw this video. They sound very interesting and I'm going to look into more of their stuff. So I trust I'll find some good
So, Nena thank you for another great video. Looking forward to don't you have planned for the next one. Would love to see you do a breakdown of Lovebites. Such a great band. So much talent. I wish I got into listening to their music much sooner than I did. Unfortunately I'm guilty of judging a book by its cover when it comes to them. I initially saw a photo of the band without their instruments. I assumed by their outfits that they were another one of the many pop bands coming out of Asia. I'm not into pop so I pretty much dismissed them based on that. It wasn't until I happened to come upon a UA-cam video spotlighting female metal guitarists. It was in that video I saw clip of Midori and Miyako displaying their badassiveness as guitarists. I went and checked out their music. First song being "The Hammer Of Wrath" and I was immediately hooked. I'm just sorry that I was such an idiot for judging the book by its cover. But that's one of the great things their look is a complete contrast to their music. That's one of the biggest that draws you to them. Would love to see you do a profile of the.
Again thank you for another great video, looking forward to what's next. Take care and stay safe 🤘😊🖤
Hey Trey! Thanks for the great comment! I know what you mean about initial impressions- I assumed that Band Maid would be more of a product than a band and I couldn’t have been more wrong! Amazing you’ve been able to see so many great artists and hopefully in 2024 you can catch the others! 😊🤘🏻
Nemophila became my favorite band in 2023. I just love everything about them. I recently got their 4th anniversary bluray and it is one of the best concert videos I have ever seen. Really enjoying Hanabie too. I haven't spent much time with VOB yet.
For part 2.... Gacharic Spin, maybe Passcode.
Great suggestions!!! 😊🤘🏻 Hope you spend some time with VOB - really incredible!
Great band with great talented.. Awesome absolut VOB..
Yes!!!! 😊🤘🏻
Voice of Baceprot - RETAS.
An astounding full length release from the groundbreaking Indonesian metal trio. Catchy riffs, superb songwriting for a band so young and inspiring lyrics fighting against authority and what's expected of them. The world should be their oyster.
So I hope they can release more more more album
Yessss! A WORK OF ART! 😊🤘🏻
Voice of baceprot ❤❤❤❤
♥️♥️♥️🤘🏻
Great post Nina.. Thanks for shining a light on these wonderful ladies... You have to check out Nemophila's crazy cover of the 'Minnion's' banana song and their cover of Sekima II song Cursed sha na na na..
Lovebites Nemophila Band-maid and Aldious are my current favorites, but can't forget about Trident, Gacharic spin, East of Eden, Hagane (Japan) and Rolling Quartz (Korea)
Looking forward to you No 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 Lol So much music so little time
Best wishes from France..
I will check out the banana song 🤣 Somehow I missed that one, lol! Great band suggestions for part 2!!!! So many INCREDIBLE female Asian artists! 😊🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock Yes there are... Looking forward to your next installment..
Agree with all of the bands listed above....but recommend for you to check out Glim Spanky, Polkadot Stingray and Unlucky Morpheus.
Deep rabbit hole that you just entered 👍
Indeed 😊🤘🏻
Thank you so much for highlighting these phenomenal japanese bands. Some of my favorite are Lovebites, Band- Maid, Nemophila, and Hanabie. However there are two That you have not mentioned that are just as phenomenal as the bands you have already talked about, Aldious and Fate Gear. One of my favorite bands is now on an indented hiatus that band is Mary's Blood. Fear not Saki continues to with Nemophila. Mari began a solo career and rejoined Japanese thrashband Crucified, Rio began a solo career under the name Yako Ikuta. Eye is standing a solo career as well. Some info on Band - Maid. Miku Kobato formed Band - Maid, she had Previously worked at a Japanese Maid Cafe. She wanted to.
Integrate the Maid theme with rock music. That is why members of Band - Maid wear Maid outfits.
You have great taste :)
Thank You however I forgot to mention another great band Twin Temple. Twin Temple was formed by the married couple and practicing satanists Alexandra and Zachary James. Being fans of rock and roll of the 1950s and 1960s, and bands such as The Platters, Roy Orbison, and Buddy Holly, they wanted to incorporate Satanism with this musical era and culture. They call their style a music satanic Doo-wop. Alexandria, vocals are like a jazzy Amy Winehouse. Twin Temple has open for Ghost and Glenn Danzig. If the satanic theme doesn't bother you And you enjoy 50s and 60s, rock and roll. I would highly recommend this band.
VOB, GARUT, INDONESIA ❤️🇮🇩
Mi favorita y rescatable número uno , era Lovebites de Japón! Impresionante banda!
Pero ahora apareció Nemophila! Desprendiendome de mis pasiones y lealtades ,debo decir que Nemophila es la nueva reina del metal japonés, sin duda alguna! Es por la cantante que tienen, no es cualquier cantante, tiene una versatilidad un poder, un dominio escénico como ninguna! Única! Una auténtica prodigiosa del género metal duro! Me conquistó totalmente! Es mí segunda favorita de esta hermosa banda Nemophila! Es mí opinión. Saludos desde Buenos Aires y quedo suscrito por Tamu mi favorita ❤
😊♥️🤘🏻
Excellent choices !! These 3 bands are a great grouping. Of these, I also like NEMOPHILA the most. KOIAI, EAST OF EADEN and LONESOME_BLUE are all similar and very new bands that share some of the same members. Another good grouping would be FATE GEAR, GACHARIC SPIN AND DOLL$BOX who also share members. Another grouping more in my taste is BRIDEAR, ALDIOUS and TRiDENT. Life-long MAIDEN fan so LOVEBITES is my very top favorite of them all. 🤘🐺🤘
😊🤘🏻♥️
VOB From Indonesia world Class is the best ....
we want more vob nena
Definitely! 😊🤘🏻
❤ V.O.B
♥️♥️♥️
Great video. Thanks for pointing out VOB, I'm looking forward to becoming a new fan. 100% on Nemophila and Hanabie. I'm becoming a cliche at this point; all the rock I loved as a younger man has been transformed by a new generation and made so much better; more interesting, more creative, with so much raw talent and skill. All is not lost!
Yes!!!! I agree - these amazing artists are taking it to a new level! Please let me know your thoughts when you check out VOB - I am a huge fan and find them to be supremely talented and incredibly refreshing!!! 😊🤘🏻
Several videos in I can say that VoB is now on my short list of bands that I will travel half way around the world to see live. Amazing! Thanks again for pointing them out @@psychologyofrock
You are so welcome! Very happy you found them! 😊
Vob mantap 🤟🤟
😊♥️🤘🏻
I would recommend you check out Lovebites. All these Japanese metal bands made up of women are all so unique and criminally underrated and undercover in Western press
Adore them! Like I said in the video, I did not include them only because I thought many people would already be familiar with them 😊 I agree they are phenomenal! 🤘🏻
Nemophila is my favorite band. Pure 🔥🔥🔥. World class musicianship with an incredible and versatile singer. I love their variety of musical styles with positive messages. Endearing and charismatic; the joy they exude while playing is infectious and the bond they share is inspiring.
Hanabie is also one of my favorite bands. Unique, energetic, and fun. Matsuri is a riff machine and Yukina is a fireball.
Since Lovebites is excluded and you want to highlight lesser known bands here are some new up and coming bands: East of Eden, Paleneo, and Killt Melt Land.
Trident would be great if you want more of a rock band.
I can see why they are your favorite and I agree with your analysis! Great suggestions for part 2 😊🤘🏻
A good part 2 or separate vid could be for Destrose without them MANY female j-rock & metal bands most likely wouldn't exist. Between 2007-2015, 20 members produced 20+ new bands like Nemophila, Lovebites, Aldious, Fate Gear, Disqualia, Cyntia, Lonesome Blue and Mary's Blood. NYE 2008 4 of 5 members quit Destrose and formed Mary's Blood.
Saki joined Mary's Blood in 2012 and was sole composer until there hiatus (2022) she ALSO was in Destrose 2009-2010 lol. She's now in Nemophila 🤘
That would be an interesting video! Great suggestion 😊🤘🏻
Hanabie.!!! godlike, super fun, great live, Absolutely Brutal! they are my favorite band out of this list, You cant help but dance listening to them #Harajukucore. Nemophila for me is the best female thrash metal there is out there. I personally love these bands and listen to them everyday. thanks for covering them. I will have to check out VOB, Great video! A couple other bands you may like or should check out from Japan, The Dimrays, Broken By The Scream, "MAZE - IDOL RIOT" and "PassCode - GROUNDSWELL"
I will check them out! Thanks so much for the recommendations! 😊🤘🏻
Hi Nena . Loving your videos. Yes those are my top 3 bands too. Japan does everything right. I also love Scandal, a Garag/pop/rock, and Perfume which are EDM. Japan is such a mixing pot of music well done , there is always something new new like Kawaii Metal and Harajuku Hardcore evolving. that in themselves are as you say .....outside the box , to be notices. Keep your videos coming, they are great.
Hi Paul! So glad you enjoyed! I haven't heard of a few of these, so I will check them out! :)
Nemophila blew my mind 4 years ago. They are just amazing 🔥🤘❤️ My favourite band.
They are just incredible! 😊🤘🏻
Hail VOB! 🤒🖤🇮🇩
😊🤘🏻
For part 2, I'd like to nominate Gacharic Spin. Pretty different to these metal/metalcore bands, but amazing musicians and characters. Also maybe consider Show-Ya and/or Maximum the Hormone - both of whom influenced Nemophila and Hanabie.
😊🤘🏻
VOB ❤️🤟🤟🤟
😊♥️♥️♥️🤘🏻
Hello UA-camr friends, allow me to greet all of you in every corner of the world, I hope we are all always in good health and all our activities run smoothly
Wow VOB. Omg
♥️♥️♥️
VOB is my fovourite band.
♥️♥️♥️🤘🏻
Was lucky enough to see all three live in the past year or so, including seeing Nemophila 4 times. Just love them all. Not sure who you've checked out so far, but I'd look into Gacharic Spin, TRiDENT, Lonesome_Blue, Mary's Blood and Koiai from Japan, and Rolling Quartz from South Korea.
Wow! That is amazing!!!! I haven’t heard a few of your recommendations- I will check them out 😊🤘🏻
Seems everyone else is suggesting Gacharic Spin as well...looks like you got your next band to check out...start with Mindset, Replica, and I Wish I...
I’m already a fan but some others on your list I still need to check out! 😊
Vob retas ❤❤
Yes! Phenomenal! ♥️😊🤘🏻
The best japanese metal band is Lovebites
Love them! 😊🤘🏻
Good day, you need to listen to lovebites, the best metal band today and at least in the last 20 years, listen to them live 2020, 2021 and/or 2023
Absolutely! Like I said, in the video I did not include them only because I thought many people would already be familiar with them! 🖤🖤🖤🤘🏻
My 3 favorite bands are Jinjer, Nemophila and Hanabie. Like you said all for different reasons. Also all are incredible live bands.
Yes!!!! 😊🤘🏻
Metal isn't really my thing so I don't have strong opinions about these bands, other than being pleased to see them doing well, but the musicianship and song-writing ability from that corner of the world is quite something. I love so many bands who are tiny in terms of popularity - under 10k subs on youtube mostly, so they have regular jobs and just play shows in small clubs with 2-3 other bands each night they play, yet they sound like full time bands from over here. Here's a little list of examples in no particular order, which I have a slight feeling I might have shared before, but here they are anyway, if anyone is interested.

Hanabie got my attention with their first album cover. It looks like a psycho anime girl who would chase you around the kitchen table with a knife.
Japanese speaker here. "Hanabie" is a 4-syllable word, but you, like 95% of YT music reactors, pronounced it in 3. The "bie" part is 2 syllables = "bi" and "e". To pronounce this band name without studying Japanese, I would suggest that you say "Hannah" in British English and follow it by saying the English acronym "B.A." The problem is that your (and many others') pronunciation changes the meaning of the word completely. "Hanabie" is a highly poetic word referring to the cold weather still occasionally lingering into the spring, which to us is the season for cherry blossoms. If you pronounce it like "Hanabi" in 3 syllables, you are saying an entirely different word meaning "firework".
Thank you for letting me know! 🤘🏻

I love all three bands you've been talking about but my vote goes to Hanabie, they are sooo original and dope.

I just noticed, the bio for Hanabie in your video description has got a bit mixed up. I think a couple of bands got confused in there.
Hanabie ("Hana-bee-eh") members are actually: Yukina - growl and kawaii vocal; Matsuri - guitar and clean vocal; Hettsu - bass, and Chika - drums.
Not sure how that got mixed up, but I will fix it! Thanks so much!
@@psychologyofrock Easily done. You should see the crazy stuff I accidentally paste into my work emails ...
Lol, I put the info for the wrong band completely - thanks again for letting me know, they deserve proper recognition!
SIMPS love em.
🤘🇺🇦🤘
😊🤘🏻
I would add BAND-MAID and Lovebites to those bands, if you want good metal/rock all female Asian bands.
Like I said in the video, I only did not include them because I thought a lot of people would already be familiar. But fantastic bands! 😊🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock OK - hint to myself - do not reply without listening to the video. :)
