She's a "family metalhead". Her father is a metalhead, and she grew up with hearing metal. She says metal is her comfort music, it reminds her of home.
Oh cool. I was under the impression that she wasn't a metalhead at all. I think it was the love bites video people had mentioned that. I might have misunderstood as well, hahaha.
as a remember i read somewhere, her father is not precisely a metalhead. he is a HUGE music fan and specially rock. not only metal. even punk music as Sex Pistols were in the playlist of his father.
Fami, not only does covers on her channel, but she also does originals too. She has released her own album of originals. "Graduation Day". She has a great voice too. She also has her own signature Bacchus woodline bass guitar. She brings a lot to Lovebites. Songwriting, singing, piano, guitar, & of course bass. So much great stuff on her channel.
In her Lovebites announcement video, which is a joy to watch, she was contemplating about her future with her bass playing. It just go to show that even people who are insanely talented struggle to make a success as a musician.
I showed that announcement video to a friend who lives in Japan. He said he can understand about a third of what she was saying because she is so excited that she talks a mile a second.
@@coffeeninja8128 I believe any competent bass player who was invited to replace Miho, would be equally excited or very close to Fami's level of excitement. 😍
She plays the guitar, keyboard, sings (quite well) and is a song writer, oh and the Bass!!! You should watch her Lovebites announcement. She's is SO excited and adorable. Asami said that when Fami came in for her interview, she lit up the room. I consider her live concert video much better than this one. Her, drums and guitar.
Thank you so much for presenting Fami's bass skills to us! 😊 I watched her first live act with Lovebites, and she smiled almost the whole time, full of joy and happiness, absolutely contageous, getting the other ladies to smile, too. 😄 What a sight! 😄 And her bass guitar sound had been mixted phenomenally in that live act, so anything that she played came across like pure gold. I was almost dancing. 😄 No matter what we hear and watch in this footage: Fami has to be damn excellent already now, because Lovebites are already damn excellent. I suppose, that she is even "better" than this (and them), because all of them even want to develop. And Lovebites will neither draw some impostress into their boat, nor fall back into mediocrity. How well all of them fit together already now, is visible in the video "Stand and deliver": Speed, creativity, joy, freedom, crazyness (in the nice way). Personally I am absolutely glad that they got Fami. It will lift all of them into another dimension musically, I already see their creativity "taking off", "exploding" into further, unique songs. (And arrangements?) Lovebites simply is a "once in a generation"-phenomenon: To me, they are like Paganini, Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart re-incarnated and turned into a Metal band. 😁 🐺
It's not a big deal in the least for me that the audio and video are not the same recording. Recording a video of something that stupid hard is nerve racking to begin with. Having as many subscribers who would see the video, more nerves. The part isn't even played by a person originally, and isn't really meant to be played by a person. That's probably the reason the person who wrote it went so over the top. This video shocked me when we put it up. It got a TON of views really quickly. This video was out on April 27 2023, and shows in my 'Top 3 Viewed Videos' over the last 48 hours every day.
Yesss! Les Claypool was my first thought when she started slapping and strumming. The further this progressed I couldn't help thinking, this girl is taking him to town and sending him home with a lollipop. Mind you, that video was made when she was still in High School, at about 16 years old, mindblowing. Thanks for the reaction! It's nice to encounter some reactors who know their music history. You dudes rock.
Alien Alien" is a song created using Vocaloid, a songwriting software that has the ability to make virtual idols sing. And "Hatsune Miku" is one of those virtual idols, not a real person. Many Vocaloid songs are not intended to be sung or performed by humans at all, so until 2014, when WAGAKKI BAND released a cover album of Vocaloid songs called "Vocalo Zammai," no one actually tried to perform them.
That is really cool to know that Wagakki band was the first. I had known about the Vocaloid's and even researched the software quite a bit. I had wondered earlier if anyone had preformed that bassline before Fami.
Her mucle memory is the secret. It's already on the level when you can play a song with your eyes closed. Of course you need to play the song hundred of times to be able to play like Fami.
For very hard parts like that some musicians will do "Mental Practice" running through all of the positions of the notes in their mind without and instrument. I had read a bunch of stuff on that concept, it's quite interesting.
Her and Miyu from Asterism ( he with a custom made ESP 7 string made only for him at 17 ) are 2 of the most dynamic young bassists. Miyu wanders all over his surfboard like it is nothing. LB liked the 5 string bass sounds and Fami's bubbly personality and at 20 she can really grow with the band. She has already started hanging out at Miyako's home studio learning from the prodigy so she will only get better.
Great reaction guys. Did you know that Fami was seventeen and still a high school girl when she recorded this clip? Lovebites obviously made a right choice, but the other finalist in their bassist audition's got an exceptionally comfortable groove as well. Aya covers Babymetal ua-cam.com/video/w1RSm_VD_4s/v-deo.html
I am super excited as well. I expect there is already a song where all 3 of them do a badass solo. That's probably gonna make me want to make a tiny mosh pit with the cats. SO Fluffy, but SO Sharp.
It's ridiculous. She can also write/compose, so the next Lovebites album will be interested with Fami being there from the ground floor, maybe composing songs. To think she had only 3 weeks to lay down the bass lines for the album Judgement Day.
Fami is incredible :) She is a real favourite of mine (if we talk about japanese bassists - or bassists in general - my other fav is Miu Yoshinaka from Asterism, he isn't from Planet Earth either).
@@CaptainFaceBeard There are many young female bass players in Japan. Bassist who is on both sides of FAMI. Its name is PINYO. Unfortunately, it's a Japanese ID. People around the world may not know. You can search for words with PINYO. She is a nurse. Please react.And please spread it. www.youtube.com/@pinyo_kinyo
She is incredible. I can't off the top of my head even think of any songs that would be harder than that one. The original probably didn't have an actual bassist play the part, probably done with a VSTi (Virtual Instrument).
@@ChrisPage68 She could for sure. I would love to see her play some Primus. I remember an interview with Les about Tommy The Cat, he was saying how excited he was to get Tom Waits to do the vocal, and the other guys had no idea who he was.
For underrated bass players…Royston Langdon from Spacehog. On topic, I fell down a hole that I never knew existed (Japanese idol girls shredding on bass) and found this. I’d also recommend F Chopper Koda, the bass player from Gacharic Spin.
I know Band-Maid has played the States, have Lovebites before? They would do SUPER well if they did. Fami is an incredible bassist/musician. I need to check out some more of her covers, but have to be careful cuz you can get copyright strikes for some Japanese music cuz their laws on Copyright are different, so have to put them on a test channel first ;)
It actually was mentioned before. Glad you said it as well Joe, because it brings up an interesting thought. There is a teaching philosophy for Music in Japan called The Suzuki Method. It was developed by a violinist named Shinichi Suzuki, and is similar to Language Immersion, Wikipedia says " *The method aims to create an environment for learning music which parallels the linguistic environment of acquiring a native language.* " From seeing the incredible skill level of musicians from Japan, I wish this was a part of early Education everywhere.
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)] and their other band: DenKare [Detonator], 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], MARDELAS [G-Metal], 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 [Rise, 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 [Fiction, 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], OTOBOKE BEAVER [Love is Short], and many many more...
Some of these like Maximum The Hormone, and Babymetal we are already big fans of and have heard all their music, but some like Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, and a bunch more you will see playlists for in the video descriptions, but there are also some that aren't in the descriptions that you would see on the main channel page :)
Yeah, they are different. You can do so much with the Vocaloids, from making them sound nearly indistinguishable from a person to very obviously not a person. I have looked at the software before, it's fairly complicated as well.
I was at her first ever gig in front of an audience in Tokyo (Lovebites). She grinned from ear to ear for the first two tracks. She’s amazing.
That is awesome that you were there, and I love that she was grinning the whole time. I can imagine her inner monologue "OMG OMG OMG..."
She's a "family metalhead". Her father is a metalhead, and she grew up with hearing metal. She says metal is her comfort music, it reminds her of home.
Oh cool. I was under the impression that she wasn't a metalhead at all. I think it was the love bites video people had mentioned that. I might have misunderstood as well, hahaha.
