I love the four piece. However, I have to give support to Tamu Murata. I follow many great Japanese drummers, of which she is one. Let us forget favorites and just be honest. This is one fantastic drum exhibition. ❤️🥁
First song recorded and released as a 4 piece, after the departure of guitarist Saki earlier this year. This song just came out a few months ago. "Groundbreakers of Destiny" , I think, is what "G.O.D." stands for. The other 2 songs you have heard from them are both from the 1st album. They did 3 albums with Saki, and I'm guessing this will be on a future 4th album. 4 piece Nemophila will be just fine.🤘🤘Love this song. As a 4 some, solos will be more of guitar and bass , as opposed to dual guitar. And Mayu (vocals) will be playing some guitar too. Ok, you want a live video. Suggest "Seize the Fate" or "Zen' official live videos. FYI , Zen is all harsh vocal. Also the newest new song is the ballad "Beautiful Days" , it has a music video.
Yes it is on their 4th album. Pre-releases on sale now, but as foreigner I purchase from their website. That will be open to us in early January. Sorry, I’m confusing some of my favorite bands on exact dates.
Nemophila still has a huge variety of songs and styles to show you. You've barely scratched the surface. Suggested songs to show their diversity: 'Beautiful Days', 'Adabana', 'Raitei', Odyssey, 'Change the World', 'Rise', 'Ama-Te-Ras', 'Hypnosis', 'Monsters'.
Just react to all of their music. There is simply no way to describe this band on a few songs. Yes they are soft and are hard. In their early days they described themselves as, “ yurufwa ,” which is something like fluffy band from hell. I don’t know the exact translation. Just keep going and you’ll learn. ❤️🌸
Nemophila - "baby blue eyes" flower, "Rurikarakusa" in Japanese; grows in N-America and is appreciated in Japan (see "Hitachi Seaside Park"). The band was formed in 2019, originally as a "session" brought together by... Mayu - the vocalist (ex- Lipstick band); Haraguchi-san - (ex- HöLDERLINS band) bass, backing vocals, was Mayu's friend and colleague from Music College; Tamu Murata - drums, backing vocals, one the most respected session musician in Japan (countless bands), with also her own original carrier; she's also the wife of Akira Yamaoka, musician/composer, known especially for his videogames OSTs, in particular for "Silent Hill"; Saki (ex - "Mary's Blood" band for a decade, "Destrose", and others), she's a "young sacred monster" in J-metal) guitar, backing vocals, and... Hazuki (KOIAI "Dark Indigo" / Li-sa-X, Disqualia bands) - guitar, backing vocals; both, Saki and Hazuki have a lot of experience. Unfortunately, Saki left the band in march 2024, after the Budokan concert, thinking that her contribution was enough after more than 4-5 years, pursuing her - successful - solo carrier, and then she became a member of Like-an-Angel band. The band continues in the 4 members form, with Mayu starting to add guitar bits while Haraguchi-san's bass, and Hazuki's guitar becomes more prominent.

Does it really matter who knows but No finding Nemo. Americans say Neemo like the 🐟 but Japanese just say Nem. Mayu joked about it with Saki when I saw them live in Nagoya. She said Neemofilla 🐟 Americano.😂

Nemophila are pure 🔥🔥🔥. I highly recommend their song Adabana. It has one of the best bridges I’ve ever heard
thanks Jessica ❤️
