Just a side note on Nemophila vocalist. She knows very little English, so when doing cover songs in English she basically tries to emulate what she hears from memory of listening to the original. Saki guitarist speaks English quite,well so she tries to assist in pronunciations. So knowing that it makes the covers that little bit more impressive. Could you imagine listening to a song in Japanese language a few times then go in front of the cameras and record it.
As far as 'supergroup' title is concerned, SAKI, the band leader said no they are not supergroup if it meant all of them are from another band. Only both guitarists, SAKI (Mary's Blood and AMAHIRU) and Hazuki (Disqualia - not officially disbanded but went hiatus since 2017) are considered as still an official member of other bands. Hazuki is now also a member of Li-sa-X BAND formed in 2020. For the record, NEMOPHILA formed in 2019. However, all of them are reputable musicians and has been on the scene for years. Mayu and Haraguchi-san just quit their band, LIPSTICK and HöLDERLINS respectively, prior to forming NEMOPHILA. Murata Tamu was in SORAMIMI that disbanded in 2017 and she works as a professional solo drummer since then. Tamu is well known as one of the best versatile and powerful session drummer in Japan for years. She have had the longest carrier among all members. Tamu and SAKI both have had over 25 years experience combined. Though NEMOPHILA refused to be labelled as supergroup, on their official debut live performance on METAL WEEKEND 2019, they were introduced as 'Super Girls Metal Band', and no one argue with that title since they are known for superb artist who mastered their arts. Here is their story... NEMOPHILA is a Tokyo-based Japanese all-female metal band formed in August 2019 as one-off live show band called Mayu Session, and as the name implies, its assembled by mayu (ex-LIPSTICK vocalist as Sindy) assisted by her high school friend, Haraguchi-san (ex-HöLDERLINS bassist). They managed to get hold of Murata Tamu (ex-SORAMIMI drummer) who is a very famous well respected solo drummer in Japan with massive reputation as one of the best and versatile prolific new age drummer. They still need a guitarist so mayu contacted SAKI (ex-Destrose guitarist) through mutual friend and asked if she is interested for a session or knew someone who might because SAKI is the founder and organizer for World Guitar Girls Collection (WGGC), a project that bring forward talented Japanese female rock/metal guitarists. SAKI, who is very busy being in 2 different bands (Mary's Blood and AMAHIRU) wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to play alongside Tamu (prominent drummer in SAKI's WGGC project) answered YES! to both questions. She showed up with her friend Hazuki, a highly-skilled technical guitarist from heavy metal band DISQUALIA. She worked as a sessionist for Rami and Li-sa-X since DISQUALIA activities were put on hold in 2017. The arrivals of two technical guitarists concluded Mayu Session's final line-ups of superb veteran quintet. Mayu Session was confirmed to perform live at Shinjuku Wild Side, Tokyo for 'Summer Game' event in August 2019. The news that metal guitar goddess SAKI will be performing alongside drums goddess Tamu, together in one band, travelled fast and eventually became the 'talks of the town'. About 2 weeks before their confirmed live show, Mayu Session was booked for their second live show on 5th September 2019 at the same venue for 'Dig up! Your Wonderland!' event. They hadn't even performed their one-off live show yet but already booked for a second show, which seemed to broke the original one-off deal. During those times, little did they knew that there will be endless show for all of them together as a band. Every member have years of experience being in a band but never played together before. Some members didn't even know each other with different personalities and musical preference. However, during their first show, they hit off immediately on stage when all their wisdom and years of experience kicks-in, triggered them to play their integral parts naturally in completing the whole performance. Every one of them are capable to hold their own and being on equal footing with each other and there were no second guessing so they just enjoying the moment having fun performing, smiling and laughing together, owning the stage while their audience went crazy with lots of excitement. Perhaps too much fun for the band members that they don't want it to end but the show ended and everyone is overjoyed. Despite their differences in many aspect, Mayu felt good seeing the band members really enjoyed each others' company both on and off the stage; and realized that this is what she had always imagined to have in a band. As all the band members felt the same, Mayu Session was re-instated as one-off live show deal, disbanded after their first show; and NEMOPHILA was summoned for the first time at Shinjuku Wild Side, Tokyo on 5th September with the most important mission, to cover for Mayu Session's slot and recreate the same atmosphere as before. Eventually, they proved that they were indeed better than Mayu Session and later announced that NEMOPHILA landed their first appearance for their own slot in METAL WEEKEND 2019 event at Zepp Diver City, Tokyo. NEMOPHILA performed twice during METAL WEEKEND 2019 with an opening act for two heavy metal legends, LOUDNESS and HAMMERFALL on two different days. On both occasions, the organizer introduced NEMOPHILA as "Super Girls Metal Band" and no question asked on that 'title' since the band members are no strangers to Japanese rock/metal scene with several decades of experience between them; and individually regarded as a reputable seasoned musician. In 2020, NEMOPHILA announced their Japan tour schedule but eventually cancelled due to the pandemic. In February, just before lockdown took place, they managed to perform at Shibuya REX - their first one-man show. It was a sold-out venue where all tickets were gone hours after is was announced. That time, Tamu was on maternity leave. Tamu had always been called-up to fill in for drummers' absence but in her absence, NEMOPHILA called-in Miki 'mittan' Tsunoda, a drummer from the legendary all female band SHOW-YA (one of the best-selling Japanese metal bands in history) who was more than happy to make an appearance that day covering for Tamu. In 2021, NEMOPHILA took part in NAONのYAON (female outdoor stage - music festival celebrating female artist) live streaming show. SAKI was on double duty since Mary's Blood also performing there. Tamu was also called-up to fill in for another band Gacharic Spin since their drummer Yuri was on maternity leave. In December 2021, NEMOPHILA released their full-length debut album REVIVE and ranked #8 on weekly Oricon new album chart, #7 on weekly Billboard Japan (download) chart. Their relentless hard works to establish their presence in local as well as international music scene eventually paid off when they were awarded as the 'Artist of The Year 2021' by Tower Records Japan. In January 2022, NEMOPHILA appeared in one-man show for the first time featuring all original members including the drums goddess, Tamu. In that show, they performed a song LIFE as finale, which was a very special song they performed for Tamu during one of their live streaming event, celebrating Tamu's return to the line ups after maternity leave. This time around, it is very emotional for mayu seeing all the band members around her managed to pull off this one-man show with her and she cried hard. Before their final bow, Tamu is the first to approached mayu and gave her a hug and gentle mother's gesture like saying she did a great job. Going forward, they will be performing at NAONのYAON 2022 and later in June they will start Zepp Tour with series of show. One band will be at the venue along with NEMOPHILA as their guest musician. The most anticipated show is on the 11 June that includes worldwide live streaming show (check ticket at NEMOPHILA website) and the band that answered to their calling for that show is the one NEMOPHILA opened up for before, the heavy metal legend, LOUDNESS. In October 2022 they will perform for the first time outside Japan. They will be in California, US for the Aftershock Festivals 2022, which also includes Mayu's favourite Foo Fighters and Haraguchi-san's favourite Slipknot among the performers. Besides those two bands, they are also excited to be performing on the same day as KISS, one of their seniors they look up to as inspiration. NEMOPHILA did a cover of Detroit Rock City before and that cover now have close to 1 million views. NEMOPHILA is pushing forward since the beginning and there is no sign of slowing down in any foreseeable future. 🤘🏻
Love this cover and this band. Keep any eye out for Ziako tickets to the LOUDNESS / NEMOPHILA at ZEPP Osaka Bayside live stream event on 11 Jun 2022. The ZEPP matchups with NEMOPHLA going head-to-head with some heavy hitters just shows they mean business. They hit 2022 at full speed and they are not letting up for nothing. Hopeful that NEMOPHILA will be able to add more dates while they are here for AFTERSHOCK, and more tours. 🌸✨🌠
They actually do a Nickleback cover and they make Nickleback sound good 😂🤣 look through their back catalogue of videos on their u tube channel, plenty of gems there.
Mayu vocal from Lipstick. Saki guitar from Mary's Blood. HAZUKI guitar from Disqualia & Lisa X band Haraguchi-san from Hölderlins Muratatam drums from many projects.
" Interesting to see how she handles the last note… sometimes Bruce doubles up on the Octave". Having heard the song before you did this reaction, I thought that was hilarious and couldn't wait to hear this scream :-D!!
Nemophila are pure fire, EVERY cover and EVERY original are kick ass. For sure listen to Saki, guitar player with white Marshall stack, other band Mary’s Blood she really cuts loose in that band. Starting point is usually Marrionette.
Great reaction their covers are the best out there, but the originals are brilliant you may also want to look at Marys blood try Marionette first, same guitarist Saki right as you look she is a guitar goddess in Japan . More Nemo please.
Amazing cover from Amazing band! Let me know your thoughts! Don't forget to Like and Subscribe. Let's hit 500 subscribers!!

I couldn't do that in a million years! I'm lucky if I can speak English well enough!
