Asterism is: Haruka (Hal-Ca) Noma, lead guitar and vocals, born 11/23/2002 Miyu Yoshinaka, bass, born 3/12/2002 Mio Yoshinaka, drums, born 11/14/1999 All started playing at a young age (Haruka at 10, Mio and Miyu at 6-8). They all attended the Yamaha Music Foundation school in Fukuoka. They originally performed separately (Mio and Miyu, Haruka) but met in 2014 and were put together to perform in the annual Yamaha Music Revolution competition in 2015. They played several festivals and competed in various music competitions until the release of their first EP, The Session Vol. 1, in 2017. It included three covers and two original songs (155 and Magic Bullet) both written by Haruka. She wrote 155 when she was 11 and they can be seen playing it in this video ua-cam.com/video/2gBCmUWqtJU/v-deo.html when they were 11, 11 and 13. Their second EP, the Session Vol. 2 was released a year later and included two more original songs (Rising Moon and Yunagi). Their first full length album, Ignition, was also released in 2018 and included seven original songs and two covers. All the original songs on these EPs and album were written by Haruka between the ages of 11 and 15. Ignition is mostly traditional hard rock and metal and includes Dawn, Blaze and Light in the Darkness. The fancam videos of Dawn, at Club Utero, and Blaze and Light in the Darkness, at Fukuoka Graf (Welcome to Inferno Vol. Max), are classics. They toured Asia and the US supporting the release of Ignition. They produced a series of live in studio performances of most of these songs (battle sessions and 360 videos) and all are available on UA-cam. They next released an EP (Guernica) and then a full-length album extension of the EP (Guernica+a) in 2020. These releases marked a change in style to a more progressive metal/rock sound and includes classics such as Church and Gunfire. All the songs on these releases are original songs. They did live in studio performances of almost all the songs on Guernica+a and these are available on UA-cam. Asterism is perhaps best before a live audience. Haruka has amazing charisma and stage presence for anyone, not to mention for a small (under 5’ tall) Japanese woman. She plays with skill, soul and a ferocious attitude, and a smile on her face almost the whole time. Recently Asterism has released an album of anime song covers (Animetic), an extended version of that album with the singer PelleK providing vocals and two EPs and an album of original songs with Haruka on vocals called Aside, Beside and Decide. There are official music videos of most of the songs on Animetic. They play frequently at clubs in Tokyo and did a small US tour with shows in LA and NYC and performances on the street in Venice Beach and Hollywood Blvd. Haruka particularly has a significant presence on social media with an active Instagram channel and her own UA-cam channel. She frequently posts playthroughs of their own songs and a lot of covers. Recommended songs for reactors, in chronological order include: • 155 (RH in 2014) - see one of their earliest performances of one of their first original songs • Rising Moon (Official MV) - a well-produced music video of one of their other early songs • Blaze and/or Light in the Darkness (Welcome to the Inferno Vol. Max) - two exceptional performances (fan cam) at a small club before an enthusiastic hometown crowd • Dawn (live 4/20/2019) - a good quality fancam of their performance of Dawn at Club Utero • Church and/or Gunfire (live in studio) - professionally produced live in studio performances. • Scuttle Buttin’ (SRV cover) - fancam of a SRV cover with their own flavor • Unravel (official MV) - professionally produced music video of an anime cover off of Animetic • Fiction (official MV) - first official MV of a song with Haruka vocals There are tons of other videos of live performances and several additional live in studio and fan cam videos. Just about anything by Asterism is fantastic. Asterites (or what do we call ourselves) feel free to correct or add to this.
welcome to Asterism. this is one of the very first songs they wrote, and first performed it at a music contest when they were ages 12/13/15. this video was shot a few years later (judging by the guitarist's hair style, i'm guessing about 3). their magnus opus (to-date ... they're still quite young) is a song called _Dawn_ in my opinion, there are no "misses" with this band (though, some fans aren't pleased that their latest album has vocals, given that they started as a strictly instrumental band 😅) i'm here for the ride. 🤘 i'll not bombard you with the wall-o-text fact sheet on the band .... i'm sure there will be at least a couple of folks who'll come along and pick up my slack. (at least, i hope so)
Nice video brother🥰🥰🥰
