I am just amped that Lovebites is still adding USA dates to their World Tour/US Tour in September starting with sold out Prog Power in Atlanta they added Dallas Los Angeles also early September am hoping they add more closer to me like Seattle or Portland. ]:)
Another metal band you should check out is NIGHTWISH "Ghost Love Score" (Official Live at Wacken 2013) The singer is also female with the voice of a angel =) They have a huge following (The Nightwish Army ) Lots of likes and subs from this fan base =)
Always a joy to see more people discovering this incredible music, Japan is truly top of the world for rock/metal right now and its not even close. I'll just throw some more suggestions out there because there's SO MUCH to see and hear: Hanabie - Otaku Lovely Densetsu (the final band of the current Japanese big 4 in my opinion and arguably the most bonkers of the lot) Gacharic Spin - Mindset Dimrays - Fr Kokeshi - Taikai (fair warning, this band is HEAVY heavy) Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday Sokoninaru - Tenohira De Odoru I could go on, but I'll just hope you guys check out the above first 😁 keep it up 👍🤘
They are fire. Saw then live twice in Southern Cal. The Japanese metal/rock has so many talented bands with the all-female groups leading the way. The level of mucianship is incredible. More Lovebites, more Nemophila and more Band-Maid please, but you need to check out Hanabie if you want some organized chaos. Congrats on your increased subs.
I'm going to throw another name into the hat ~ Asterism! A trio of 2 males on drums and bass and a young woman on lead guitar. Closer to Polyphia than Nemophila! I think the bass isv7 string so you know he's not just keeping a beat. Drums are hard making sure the others can run amouk! Also could name - Asterism is a small gathering of stars. Again hard working incredible players. Put them aside for a rainy day!
Welcome to the Ladies of Nemophila. Great starter song, well you have done it now.. You can't put these Ladies in a box, they do whatever they want and they do it externally well.. Their originals are numerous and awesome, but their covers, of which there are many, will blow you away.. They have done all the greats, and can't wait to see you react to them. Another Japanese all female metal band for you to check out is Aldious. Check out their song Reincarnation live Acoustic guitar and Violin moulded into a metal song, all wrapped up in a haunting silky smooth voice.. You are going to love them.. Thanks for the reactions Best wishes from France 👍🤘🇨🇵 Ps Fun fact the singer Mayu and drummer Tamu are both "Rocking Mom's" with children under 5..
The members of nemophila are all excellent musicians. And nemophila is a very unique and diverse band, with various genres of music appearing in their catalog. I recommend《oiran》live(recent one) or《rise》live as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
I love the fact that Nemophila, Lovebites, Band-Maid and other Japanese female bands each have their own style and flavour! Also, the 3 I pointed out can all mix up genres.
I have compiled the songs that NEMOPHILA’s fans are likely to recommend to you in the future, along with their general characteristics, so please refer to them. REVIVE（Hard） RAITEI（Hard） RISE（Very Hard） X JAPAN / KURENAI - Cover（Hardest） Change The World（Catchy＆Epic） ADABANA（Melodic＆Dark） HYPNOSIS（Melodic＆Heavy） now I here（Beautiful） ODYSSEY（Most Beautiful） DISSENSION（Heavy＆Hard） OIRAN（Heavy＆Hard） ZEN（Heaviest） Life（Emotional） This song dedicated to the drummer who returned from maternity leave. LINKIN PARK / Given Up - Cover（Long scream） IRON MAIDEN / The Trooper - Cover（Powerful＆Enjoy） Among the official videos, there are some versions with poor sound quality, so I have compiled high-quality MVs, LIVEs, and COVERs of NEMOPHILA in the playlist on my TH-cam channel. Please feel free to use it.
Nemophila is awesome. One of my favorite Japanese bands that I've discovered in the last few years. Like the other bands, I like their music videos but their live videos are just awesome. Nemophila, Band Maid, Lovebites, they all sound great live and their stage presence is just fantasic. React to the live version of their songs.
Thanks for checking out Nemophila.. Powerhouse R&R at its finest !! Lots of great originals and covers.. they will surprise you with their diversity of styles.. They recently went four piece, and just put out a couple studio MVs, Rise and Back into the Wild, that are awesome !
Great first reaction to Nemophila! Keep going, I recommend "Dissension" for more hard music from them but also "Life" and "Odyssey" for their softer side. Also "Ama-Te-Ras" and "Hypnosis" are fun songs by them.
Thank you so much for checking out Nemophila 🙏🏻 For me they are most promising metal band out there. They have such a wide catalog about different genres from ballads to straight thrash metal. Mayu, the vocalist, has unique voice and it’s even better in live. Mayu also has one child. Drummer Tamu Murata has two childs. Right now they are goin’ through a lot, when other guitarist, Saki, left the band two months ago and we fans have suffered what’s happening next. Ladies decided to move on as Four Member band and did just this first full setlist( 16 song) gigs as a 4 member band. And all the reviews and shorts videos proved that they as good as they were before Saki’s retirement. They are tough as nails and I think their Future will be bright. Hazuki, other guitarist, is phenomenal musician, as are Haraguchi-sun, the bassist and Tamu, the drummer. They will be one of the biggest in whole world in few years time. I suggest that you check out their Official Live Videos next: Oiran, Zen, Change The World, Raitei etc.. Greets from Finland 🇫🇮🔥❤️🤘
You have already appreciated the three major female band (band maid, lovebites, and nemophila) in Japan rock scene today. band maid is definitely hard rock, lovebite is trash / power / symphonic metal and nemophila are many different genre it’s hard to tell (western style and eastern style) which one it is. But what is superb is the vocal screaming is her trademark ! Their songs have heavy, fast, medium and slow, smooth which fascinating. For me their slow songs (balled) are even better. I notice a lot of suggested songs. Each song has a different style. If you choose any song, you will have different feelings.
If you want the 'bookend experience' check out 'Zen' (LIVE) followed by 'Odyssey' (MV). Then explore everything in between. They will always entertain and surprise you, that's for sure!
My second favorite Japanese band! These ladies are badass. Unfortunately Saki has left to pursue other ventures but the band is forging ahead thankfully. Check out Adabana, Rise, and Ama Te Ras.
The singer is married with a young child and the drummer is married with two young children. Now iff you had known that would you have thought that they would be this good. Try their song AMA-TE-RAS or Rise. I think they are their best songs. For ultimate screaming try their song Zen. Korean band Rolling Quartz are really good bit like BAND-MAID they are just rock not metal but they have some good songs try Blaze.
@keithvincent8760 yes but I haven't heard anything from them for ages. I think the singer ( I can't remember her name) has some kind of promotional work with a guitar company. She's absolutely possessed and great to watch and hear there's a great clip of her on a talent show where she absolutely blows them away.
The drummer, Tamu's, husband is musical composer Akira Yamaoka. He did a lot of work on the Silent Hill franchise. Tamu is also a very sought after session player and multi-instrumentalist.
Mayu the singer's favorite band is "FOO FIGHTERS"!!!!!! Check out (Zen)!!!!! Pronounced (Neh -mo-fee-la)!!!!! Also check out "FATE GEAR" (Steampunk metal band) (Headless Goddess)!!!!!
Wait til you check out East of Eden (Japan) and HANABIE. Crazy how different they are from the others as well. And amazing! I’m already seeing HANABIE. for the 2nd time in August.
Nemophila, nice! So you have hit - Nemophila who have essentially happy metalcore as their home base. - Lovebites who have thrash and power metal as their home base. - Band-maid who have hard rock as their home base. -- So sticking with Japanese women, primarily.... Hanabie - "【花冷え。】 - 今年こそギャル〜初夏ver.〜 Be the GAL~Early Summer ver.~ - Music Video 【HANABIE.】" MV who are self styled as Harajukucore -- Broken By The Scream "Broken By The Scream -Sayonara Birthday-" MV who are something like Japanese Idolcore -- Fate Gear - "Battle Against Justice (Single ver.) - All-female metal band FATE GEAR" who are self styled as Steam Punk metal -- Passcode "PassCode - Taking you out" MV who are Idol Electronicore -- Otoboke Beaver - "おとぼけビ～バ～Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire ハートに火をつけたならばちゃんと消して帰って [Official Music Video]" MV who are.... a surprise :D
@@TlanImass I was watching that a few days back, it's great :). I also watched a live where the lead guitarist (I don't know all their names other than Kaho as it happens) went to dive into the crowd but got full on kicked in the face by a guy coming in on a crowd surf, but she just kept on going, not only playing, but straight back onto the barricade to get into the crowd. Not sure the security were best please :D If you haven't run into that one it's "【Live】おとぼけビーバー「ジジイis waiting for my reaction～あなたわたし抱いたあとよめのめし」2023" Possibly the most Otoboke Beaver I have seen Otoboke Beaver be so far :D Glorious chaos ^^
Very cool!!! Babymetal, Nemophila, Band Maid, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Gacharic Spin, Wagakki Band, all great bands from Japan. If possible, for these bands, try to check live versions of shows. The clips are great, but live they make everything better!!!
These girls are also amazing live. Nemophila, "Now I Here": th-cam.com/video/vmbE1gikVtQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2f_4cxVdzlJmGeBQ Nemophila, "Seize the Fate" th-cam.com/video/yyKGK1Se4bo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xnLcsX_NEN2uvawP
Great reaction!....Nemophila (neh-moe-fee-la) is 🔥🔥🔥 Most people start with Dissention (MV, Japanese ver.) or Revive (MV) and then Adabana (MV), Rise (MV), etc. Here are suggestions based on Mayu's lead vocal style Cleans Raitei (Live) th-cam.com/video/6aoghIEPOYc/w-d-xo.html Seize the Fate (Live) th-cam.com/video/yyKGK1Se4bo/w-d-xo.html Odyssey (MV) th-cam.com/video/J8RhjQpFf_Q/w-d-xo.html Life (live) th-cam.com/video/CxmLOhDVoyw/w-d-xo.html Cleans + Screams Revive (Live) th-cam.com/video/t2eMoKvsvBE/w-d-xo.html Rise (Live) th-cam.com/video/DaFN5J4iPLI/w-d-xo.html Dissention (MV) th-cam.com/video/26aMuahxz8c/w-d-xo.html Oiran (Live) th-cam.com/video/5qABnfChpbk/w-d-xo.html Adabana (MV) th-cam.com/video/AxYiOwsu6wU/w-d-xo.html Ama-Te-Ras (Live) th-cam.com/video/96LQimRqJgM/w-d-xo.html Screams Zen (Live) th-cam.com/video/k1yPbBRHFms/w-d-xo.html 'Zen' (live), Oiran (live) and Dissention (MV) are some of their hardest and best songs 'Live' is an emotional 'ballad-like' song sung in the video as a 'welcome back' to Tamu (drummer) after her maternity leave. Great song and shows a completely different side of Nemophila. 'Ama-Te-Ras' is quite unique 'groovy metal' song and one of their best as well
'Ace of Spades' for the 21st century! Band-Maid and Lovebites are (for me) at the very top of their respective Rock and Metal genres but Nemophila isn't far behind. Unfortunately, one of their guitarists, Saki, has recently left but I'm pretty sure they can continue as a 4 piece if needed as all the other players are excellent and Hazuki on the other guitar can play it all anyway while Mayu, the singer, has an amazing range, flowing from soft and gentle to harsh (but melodic) vocal fry quite easily. I agree with what you say about all the Japanese artists having calm expressions or smiles and, after 40 years of snarling, pained faces from just about every Metal band I ever saw, I'm fine with seeing equally excellent musicianship being performed without all that. For another supremely talented Japanese band, try Asterism, which has 2 brothers (drums and bass) in it but whose star is a young woman guitarist called Hal-ca. They did a 6 song studio session and the one called CHURCH ( th-cam.com/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xLQa9Z7j6Qv7k41_ ) is a real masterpiece and a true musical wonder. Will you be celebrating the 1000 subscribers that you'll have by the end of the weekend? Maybe with some Band-Maid...maybe even with their 1 hour, 12 song set at Lollopalooza last year ( th-cam.com/video/ZbX_MRHYkQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TajInAVZJuawuoiY ). Just an unsubtle hint...I mean just a thought! Loving your reactions and comments.
Welcome to the amazing sound that is NEMOPHILA! started out as a session band in August, 2019 with mayu on vocals, SAKI on guitars, Hazuki on guitars, Haraguchi-san on bass and Tamu Murata on drums. Saki left the band though sadly to do her own thing which is ok 👌 we support her we looking forward to see what she has in store for us but NEMOPHILA is still going strong 💪 these ladies are super talented you should check out their live show they are incredible live! Haraguchi-san btw is one of my favorite bassists ever! Cheers 🍻 🤟😊 thx 🙏 for checking them out they are amazing 🤩
Both Nemophila's drummer, Murata Tamu and Band maid's drummer, Akane Hirose were inspired to take up drumming because of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE's drummer, Nao. Akane did not know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao playing. So, I will reiterate my recommendation for MTH's song, A.L.I.E.N. Also, Miyako, dark haired guitarist for Lovebites, likes to go fishing on her down time. Back in October she and Mayo, Nemophila's singer, went night fishing for sea bass. Both of them shared pics of their catch on their Twitter/X and Insta accounts. Another connection, Asami, Haruna and Midori of Lovebites (singer, drummer, blond guitarist) went to see Band Maid play the final performance of their ten-year anniversary tour. AND, today 6/1 is the birthday of Lovebites new bassist, Fami. You will see her in Lovebites newer videos, I would suggest, The Hammer Of Wrath because that is the first song of the first concert that Fami played with her new band, Lovebites.
Until Nemophila started releasing their new original material, they were known for producing covers of classic metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Kiss. Their cover of KISS' "Detroit Rock City" is absolutely precious; they're all in KISS make-up and obviously beaming while they scream out "Det - Loit - Lock City!" Their amazing drummer, little Tamu Murata, is in the "Cat" make-up and grinning ear to ear pounding out the beat. Nemophila is undergoing some changes: they recently lost founding member Saki, but are adapting to continue on without her.
That totally makes sense. I could hear some of the influence in there!!! They are a great band!!! Ahh yes we have gotten many comments talking about her leaving! 😊
Nemophila are one of the bands to watch, no question. They just started in 2019 and blew up fast. They don't take themselves too seriously--They almost seem to be enjoying a private joke, that goes "Hi, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off, and you are going to like it.” Another great band you should check out, if you haven’t already, is Bridear. Founded in 2011, they were in the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have the classic twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. Their tiny bassist even growls at key moments. They’re scheduled to release their new album “Born Again” on June 28, and it’s a banger. They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. They just posted a video single from the album: “Still Burning” th-cam.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/w-d-xo.html
Good job with your reactions and if you want to check out NEMOPHILA live watch their NEMOPHILA / ZEN [Official Live]. It’s one of their hardest song yet. By the way one of the lead guitarist has left the band, so I don’t think their sound is the same now.
Welcome to Nemophila! Indeed on this clip their facial expressions are on the serious side, but as you continue to explore the magical world of Nemophila you'll see that happiness and smiles are pretty much their trademark. To borrow a comment I read recently, the drummer (Tamu) has a smile that will light up adjacent suburbs! Their influences and favourite bands include Foo Fighters, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Dream Theater and Opeth, so very classy and not just American bands but also Swedish & Finnish. They've done excellent studio covers of bands ranging from Journey to Metallica, AC/DC and Iron Maiden! Check out their LIVE performances to really get the full experience. Enjoy! 🤘
And now you should check out the most underrated all female japanese band out there. Gacharic Spin. They are amazing and totally different from the other bands you have listened to. Start with I wish I, or Mindset. They are absolutely crazy😁👍 Nice reaction to a great band😀
Would recommend you listen to Zen and Ama te ras live! Very different and both wonderful! If you want fun try their interpretation of the Banana song 😂 ! Great band, great reaction!❤
You guys got me with the thumbnail! I was almost afraid to watch. I was thinking, no way you weren't digging that! I see you guys just dropped a Babymetal react. If all goes well , we'll be 4 for 4 with the bands from Japan.
Hanabie is another good all female J-rock band. They are...quite a bit different. More alternative metal I guess. They refer to it as Harajukucore (named after the district in Tokyo known for outlandish fashion). Their music is a bit ADHD as they change up tempo often. Some people don't like that about them, but they're probably my favorite band out of Japan recently.
Agreed...although I think everyone's first exposure to the Harajukucore phenoms should be "We Love Sweets." But you can't go wrong with literally _anything_ from them: they have zero weak tracks.
Hey guys do you think XplorationXpedition are ready to hear "The Chaos Goblin" sing yet ??? lol if so What Hanabie song ?? . I would choose "TouSou" .. check out Hanabie ... :)
Another great band to check out is Wagakkiband. They have their own TH-cam channel, but the best video is off Frank Garcia TH-cam channel. Just sort the videos by most popular and click the one at the top. This band is very unique from all the others and would be interested to see you react to them.
Congrats, you have fallen into a very large rabbit hole. These guys rip and Tamu is talented beyond imagination. I'll miss Saki but the band has some interesting new twists to fill in for continuing as a 4-piece.
Again, with this group, the sound and style of their songs... at least lately have become very diverse. They went from just hard/metal core rock, to alternate fresh new beats almost tribal... including doing epic rock ballads. They still put out the hard Metal Core songs but there is so much more mixed in. Live is best... Like "Seize the Fate" live at The House of Blues, Music Videos check out "Rise" or "Adabana". or something with some of that different sound they just put out... The Official live video of a song called "AMA-TE-RAS"
In the last few years, the bands I've seen live are BAND-MAID, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, Gacharic Spin and Wagakki Band. And East of Eden, I will see the live this month. So please listen their songs too. I wish I (live)/ Gacharic Spin, Bring Me to Life (live) / Wagakki Band with Amy Lee , Evoluve (MV) / East of Eden.
Nemophila and Hanabie are my 2 favorite Japanese all lady bands. Try Hanabie "We Love Sweets" but before you do check out the video "The right way to say Hanabie" for the correct pronounciation of their name. Nemophila's first music video called RAITEI is another good place to go for a reaction. They also do amazing covers. Their Japanese band covers are my favorites.
Love love love Nemophila they are just so damn good. To see them really go check out Oiran and Xen lives. They are a monster live band. Also CANNOT do J-Metal without Hanabie. Try We Love Sweets or Pardon Me I Have To Go Now, believe me you will not be disappointed.
Japanese women are greedy😆❣️ that's why they create music that's like simmered dish of whatever they like😮 the more you listen to their music, the more you can enjoy different tastes😊 many women acutually think of new songs while cooking😘
Saki may have left but in no way is Hazuki a slouch. Check out Nemophila's "Ama-Te-Ras" written by Hazuki or check out her work with her other project, Lisa-X band, and their recently uploaded live video for " A New Picture." Not only for Hazuki, but Lisa-X is also a top top virtuoso guitarist.
Not sure what you guys are familiar with since before starting the channel, but I'm loving what you've been looking at so far. A lot of great bands. Thought I would throw in some recommendations for both Nemophila and other artists: Nemophila - Ama-Te-Ras: th-cam.com/video/96LQimRqJgM/w-d-xo.html Band-Maid - Freedom: th-cam.com/video/FHpuEqMAcDg/w-d-xo.html Lovebites - Swan Song: th-cam.com/video/bK21cuI-V7c/w-d-xo.html The Warning - Evolve: th-cam.com/video/97Pxe9KTgJc/w-d-xo.html Rolling Quartz - Fearless: th-cam.com/video/5Vp1of6Z0ro/w-d-xo.html The Baboon Show - Rolling: th-cam.com/video/OvoxUnFfb6U/w-d-xo.html LiSA - Shouted Serenade: th-cam.com/video/fR7e0N1UkRI/w-d-xo.html
Please listen to the MV for Adabana! So many bands....both of you will be in Japan for a long time. I luv your coordinated head banging. Haha it's kawaii
You are going to get a lot of recommendations for newer bands and they are all worth checking out, but I'm going to recommend one by the OG queen of Japanese metal, Mari Hamada. Try Stay Gold live th-cam.com/video/hiiUKlu-7U0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ztour9egZWeT2mXj Also Rolling Quartz from Korea, who are a simply great band. I've seen them live and they killed it. Try their latest "Stand Up" th-cam.com/video/8UkTOES0q7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8bKyNzp3Va54CJet
Japan has a abundance of great musicians and bands! Nemophila is certainly one of them. I would recommend Whiskey Dust, Japanese Hard Rock band that takes me back to 80's and the Sunset strip with the likes of GNR and Skid Row Motely Crue. I would recommend this song Liar th-cam.com/video/MgEjHIUnvuU/w-d-xo.html and cover of Motley Crue Kick Start My Heart th-cam.com/video/ICcE1tUkryA/w-d-xo.html
Bridear, an all female Japanese metal band you'd like that is similar to this, just released a new song Still Burning (th-cam.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/w-d-xo.html)
They lost Saki their "main" guitarist and everyone was a bit phased as she is a legend. Just released a video as a four piece and they might even be a better balanced unit.
Maybe some Slipknot came to mind. Definitely cannot categorize in one or just those because they did so much with this song!!! Definitely loved all the directions they went in!!! Crazy good 😭🙏😊
@@XplorationXpedition I've seen them wearing Slipknot T-shirt,s. I think of European bands like Arch Enemy & Jinjer. "Life" is their ballad, very different, but beautiful.
Saki, their best guitarist has left the band unfortunately. Saki was also in another Japanese band worth checking out Mary's Blood. Mary's Blood Live at the Blaze Bloody Birth Day (th-cam.com/video/KODPK5CSgU0/w-d-xo.html)

Sorry we lost our audio for about 8 seconds 7 mins in lol sorry about that. Hope you guys enjoy the video
I am just amped that Lovebites is still adding USA dates to their World Tour/US Tour in September starting with sold out Prog Power in Atlanta they added Dallas Los Angeles also early September am hoping they add more closer to me like Seattle or Portland. ]:)
tickets for Dallas.L,A, and San Fran go one sale either tomorrow or next day
also check out Rolling Quartz of South Korea song Fearless
Another metal band you should check out is NIGHTWISH "Ghost Love Score" (Official Live at Wacken 2013) The singer is also female with the voice of a angel =) They have a huge following (The Nightwish Army ) Lots of likes and subs from this fan base =)
Always a joy to see more people discovering this incredible music, Japan is truly top of the world for rock/metal right now and its not even close. I'll just throw some more suggestions out there because there's SO MUCH to see and hear:
Hanabie - Otaku Lovely Densetsu (the final band of the current Japanese big 4 in my opinion and arguably the most bonkers of the lot)
Gacharic Spin - Mindset
Dimrays - Fr
Kokeshi - Taikai (fair warning, this band is HEAVY heavy)
Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday
Sokoninaru - Tenohira De Odoru
I could go on, but I'll just hope you guys check out the above first 😁 keep it up 👍🤘
They are fire. Saw then live twice in Southern Cal. The Japanese metal/rock has so many talented bands with the all-female groups leading the way. The level of mucianship is incredible. More Lovebites, more Nemophila and more Band-Maid please, but you need to check out Hanabie if you want some organized chaos. Congrats on your increased subs.
I believe Hanabie will definitely be coming up in the near future! Thanks for the recommendation! & Thank you! 🙏
@@XplorationXpedition They're great fun!
I'm going to throw another name into the hat ~ Asterism! A trio of 2 males on drums and bass and a young woman on lead guitar. Closer to Polyphia than Nemophila! I think the bass isv7 string so you know he's not just keeping a beat. Drums are hard making sure the others can run amouk! Also could name - Asterism is a small gathering of stars. Again hard working incredible players. Put them aside for a rainy day!

For me they are most promising metal band out there. They have such a wide catalog about different genres from ballads to straight thrash metal.
Mayu, the vocalist, has unique voice and it’s even better in live. Mayu also has one child. Drummer Tamu Murata has two childs.
Right now they are goin’ through a lot, when other guitarist, Saki, left the band two months ago and we fans have suffered what’s happening next.

My second favorite Japanese band! These ladies are badass. Unfortunately Saki has left to pursue other ventures but the band is forging ahead thankfully. Check out Adabana, Rise, and Ama Te Ras.
Sugoi! Love NEMOPHILA!! Interesting fact; drummer Tamu and lead singer Mayu are moms! More please! Suggest "AMA-TE-RAS."
Arigatou! 🤘🤘
The singer is married with a young child and the drummer is married with two young children. Now iff you had known that would you have thought that they would be this good. Try their song AMA-TE-RAS or Rise. I think they are their best songs. For ultimate screaming try their song Zen. Korean band Rolling Quartz are really good bit like BAND-MAID they are just rock not metal but they have some good songs try Blaze.
DIH ALSO GREAT BAND 😊
@keithvincent8760 yes but I haven't heard anything from them for ages. I think the singer ( I can't remember her name) has some kind of promotional work with a guitar company. She's absolutely possessed and great to watch and hear there's a great clip of her on a talent show where she absolutely blows them away.
@@keithvincent8760 Fategear is also coming out hard.
And don't forget BRIDEAR check out Still Burning.
The drummer, Tamu's, husband is musical composer Akira Yamaoka. He did a lot of work on the Silent Hill franchise. Tamu is also a very sought after session player and multi-instrumentalist.
Mayu the singer's favorite band is "FOO FIGHTERS"!!!!!! Check out (Zen)!!!!! Pronounced (Neh -mo-fee-la)!!!!! Also check out "FATE GEAR" (Steampunk metal band) (Headless Goddess)!!!!!
Yes, Fate Gear with Headless Goddes ! Also check out Hanabie, Aldious and Unlucky Morpheus
Wait til you check out East of Eden (Japan) and HANABIE. Crazy how different they are from the others as well. And amazing! I’m already seeing HANABIE. for the 2nd time in August.
Nemophila, nice!
So you have hit
- Nemophila who have essentially happy metalcore as their home base.
- Lovebites who have thrash and power metal as their home base.
- Band-maid who have hard rock as their home base.
--
So sticking with Japanese women, primarily....
Hanabie - "【花冷え。】 - 今年こそギャル〜初夏ver.〜 Be the GAL~Early Summer ver.~ - Music Video 【HANABIE.】" MV
who are self styled as Harajukucore
--
Broken By The Scream "Broken By The Scream -Sayonara Birthday-" MV
who are something like Japanese Idolcore
--
Fate Gear - "Battle Against Justice (Single ver.) - All-female metal band FATE GEAR"
who are self styled as Steam Punk metal
--
Passcode "PassCode - Taking you out" MV
who are Idol Electronicore
--
Otoboke Beaver - "おとぼけビ～バ～Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire ハートに火をつけたならばちゃんと消して帰って [Official Music Video]" MV
who are.... a surprise :D
😂 @ the Otoboke Beaver description. Watch their Tiny Desk performance! That’s when I fell in love with Kahokiss.
@@TlanImass I was watching that a few days back, it's great :). I also watched a live where the lead guitarist (I don't know all their names other than Kaho as it happens) went to dive into the crowd but got full on kicked in the face by a guy coming in on a crowd surf, but she just kept on going, not only playing, but straight back onto the barricade to get into the crowd. Not sure the security were best please :D
If you haven't run into that one it's "【Live】おとぼけビーバー「ジジイis waiting for my reaction～あなたわたし抱いたあとよめのめし」2023"
Possibly the most Otoboke Beaver I have seen Otoboke Beaver be so far :D Glorious chaos ^^
Thanks for giving Nemophila a try they are simply awesome. Try their song Adabana or OIRAN live next!
Please do Nemophila oiran live, hanabie we love sweets, wagakki band senbonzakura live.

Very cool!!!
Babymetal, Nemophila, Band Maid, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Gacharic Spin, Wagakki Band, all great bands from Japan.
If possible, for these bands, try to check live versions of shows. The clips are great, but live they make everything better!!!
These girls are also amazing live.
Nemophila, "Now I Here":

Love that song and also Ambivalent.
THIS BAND IS SUPER AMAZING....WATCHOUT
Great reaction!....Nemophila (neh-moe-fee-la) is 🔥🔥🔥

'Zen' (live), Oiran (live) and Dissention (MV) are some of their hardest and best songs
'Live' is an emotional 'ballad-like' song sung in the video as a 'welcome back' to Tamu (drummer) after her maternity leave. Great song and shows a completely different side of Nemophila.
'Ama-Te-Ras' is quite unique 'groovy metal' song and one of their best as well
'Ace of Spades' for the 21st century! Band-Maid and Lovebites are (for me) at the very top of their respective Rock and Metal genres but Nemophila isn't far behind. Unfortunately, one of their guitarists, Saki, has recently left but I'm pretty sure they can continue as a 4 piece if needed as all the other players are excellent and Hazuki on the other guitar can play it all anyway while Mayu, the singer, has an amazing range, flowing from soft and gentle to harsh (but melodic) vocal fry quite easily. I agree with what you say about all the Japanese artists having calm expressions or smiles and, after 40 years of snarling, pained faces from just about every Metal band I ever saw, I'm fine with seeing equally excellent musicianship being performed without all that. For another supremely talented Japanese band, try Asterism, which has 2 brothers (drums and bass) in it but whose star is a young woman guitarist called Hal-ca. They did a 6 song studio session and the one called CHURCH ( th-cam.com/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xLQa9Z7j6Qv7k41_ ) is a real masterpiece and a true musical wonder. Will you be celebrating the 1000 subscribers that you'll have by the end of the weekend? Maybe with some Band-Maid...maybe even with their 1 hour, 12 song set at Lollopalooza last year ( th-cam.com/video/ZbX_MRHYkQA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TajInAVZJuawuoiY ). Just an unsubtle hint...I mean just a thought! Loving your reactions and comments.
Welcome to the amazing sound that is NEMOPHILA! started out as a session band in August, 2019 with mayu on vocals, SAKI on guitars, Hazuki on guitars, Haraguchi-san on bass and Tamu Murata on drums. Saki left the band though sadly to do her own thing which is ok 👌 we support her we looking forward to see what she has in store for us but NEMOPHILA is still going strong 💪 these ladies are super talented you should check out their live show they are incredible live! Haraguchi-san btw is one of my favorite bassists ever! Cheers 🍻 🤟😊 thx 🙏 for checking them out they are amazing 🤩
Both Nemophila's drummer, Murata Tamu and Band maid's drummer, Akane Hirose were inspired to take up drumming because of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE's drummer, Nao. Akane did not know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao playing. So, I will reiterate my recommendation for MTH's song, A.L.I.E.N.
Also, Miyako, dark haired guitarist for Lovebites, likes to go fishing on her down time. Back in October she and Mayo, Nemophila's singer, went night fishing for sea bass. Both of them shared pics of their catch on their Twitter/X and Insta accounts.
Another connection, Asami, Haruna and Midori of Lovebites (singer, drummer, blond guitarist) went to see Band Maid play the final performance of their ten-year anniversary tour.
AND, today 6/1 is the birthday of Lovebites new bassist, Fami. You will see her in Lovebites newer videos, I would suggest, The Hammer Of Wrath because that is the first song of the first concert that Fami played with her new band, Lovebites.
I'm a Band-Maid fan but Mayu is probably my favorite female vocalists. Also check out Hanabie. Particularly We Love Sweets.
Japan has loads of gems. Here’s a few more: Hanabie, Trident, Gacharic Spin…..
This is incredible band with talent that is off the charts.....It too band we lost Saki (guitarist) to pursue her her solo interest.
They recently lost the guitar player in the red and black dress but came back stronger and better as a four piece now they rule the metal scene
Indeed. Stronger than ever 🔥❤️🤘
btw I like your thumbnail for this video
Thank you! That’s all Cody!! ❤
Until Nemophila started releasing their new original material, they were known for producing covers of classic metal bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Kiss. Their cover of KISS' "Detroit Rock City" is absolutely precious; they're all in KISS make-up and obviously beaming while they scream out "Det - Loit - Lock City!" Their amazing drummer, little Tamu Murata, is in the "Cat" make-up and grinning ear to ear pounding out the beat.
Nemophila is undergoing some changes: they recently lost founding member Saki, but are adapting to continue on without her.
That totally makes sense. I could hear some of the influence in there!!! They are a great band!!! Ahh yes we have gotten many comments talking about her leaving! 😊
Nemophila are one of the bands to watch, no question. They just started in 2019 and blew up fast. They don't take themselves too seriously--They almost seem to be enjoying a private joke, that goes "Hi, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off, and you are going to like it.”
Another great band you should check out, if you haven’t already, is Bridear. Founded in 2011, they were in the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have the classic twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. Their tiny bassist even growls at key moments.
They’re scheduled to release their new album “Born Again” on June 28, and it’s a banger. They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. They just posted a video single from the album: “Still Burning” th-cam.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/w-d-xo.html
Good job with your reactions and if you want to check out NEMOPHILA live watch their NEMOPHILA / ZEN [Official Live]. It’s one of their hardest song yet. By the way one of the lead guitarist has left the band, so I don’t think their sound is the same now.
Welcome to Nemophila! Indeed on this clip their facial expressions are on the serious side, but as you continue to explore the magical world of Nemophila you'll see that happiness and smiles are pretty much their trademark. To borrow a comment I read recently, the drummer (Tamu) has a smile that will light up adjacent suburbs! Their influences and favourite bands include Foo Fighters, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Dream Theater and Opeth, so very classy and not just American bands but also Swedish & Finnish. They've done excellent studio covers of bands ranging from Journey to Metallica, AC/DC and Iron Maiden! Check out their LIVE performances to really get the full experience. Enjoy! 🤘
Mindset by Gacharic Spin. I think you're ready. Again, totally different than any of the others but will blow your mind. After that, Hanabie!
GS a great band.
And now you should check out the most underrated all female japanese band out there. Gacharic Spin. They are amazing and totally different from the other bands you have listened to.
Start with I wish I, or Mindset.
They are absolutely crazy😁👍
Nice reaction to a great band😀
BRIDEAR HEAVY METAL GODDESSES FROM JAPAN [Bloody Bride]
Nemophila ❤
Would recommend you listen to Zen and Ama te ras live! Very different and both wonderful! If you want fun try their interpretation of the Banana song 😂 ! Great band, great reaction!❤
Another great reaction to another great band. Just have to do Hanabie now to complete my personal trio.
This video was before Mayu got married and started a family. If you watch a recent music video of them you will see a difference.
For more great Japanese all female metal check out We love sweets by Hanabie and Still Burning by Bridear
You guys got me with the thumbnail!
I was almost afraid to watch. I was thinking, no way you weren't digging that!
I see you guys just dropped a Babymetal react.
If all goes well , we'll be 4 for 4 with the bands from Japan.
Hanabie is another good all female J-rock band. They are...quite a bit different. More alternative metal I guess. They refer to it as Harajukucore (named after the district in Tokyo known for outlandish fashion). Their music is a bit ADHD as they change up tempo often. Some people don't like that about them, but they're probably my favorite band out of Japan recently.
You MUST check out Gacharic Spin and their song Mindset.
Hanabie will balance the ticket. "Pardon me I have to go now" is a good start. Tiny little fluffy fire bombs.
Currently touring the USA as part of a world tour.
I want "Tiny little fluffy fire bombs" to be their next album title please. Are you listening Hanabie!!!!!
@@taihavard they're monsters.
Agreed...although I think everyone's first exposure to the Harajukucore phenoms should be "We Love Sweets." But you can't go wrong with literally _anything_ from them: they have zero weak tracks.
@@DavidKAnderson they very much remind me of early bandmaid, not so much in material as youthful energy and great professionalism. Boozy bassist too.
Hey guys do you think XplorationXpedition are ready to hear "The Chaos Goblin" sing yet ??? lol if so What Hanabie song ?? . I would choose "TouSou" .. check out Hanabie ... :)
Another great band to check out is Wagakkiband. They have their own TH-cam channel, but the best video is off Frank Garcia TH-cam channel. Just sort the videos by most popular and click the one at the top. This band is very unique from all the others and would be interested to see you react to them.
Congrats, you have fallen into a very large rabbit hole. These guys rip and Tamu is talented beyond imagination. I'll miss Saki but the band has some interesting new twists to fill in for continuing as a 4-piece.
Again, with this group, the sound and style of their songs... at least lately have become very diverse. They went from just hard/metal core rock, to alternate fresh new beats almost tribal... including doing epic rock ballads. They still put out the hard Metal Core songs but there is so much more mixed in. Live is best... Like "Seize the Fate" live at The House of Blues, Music Videos check out "Rise" or "Adabana". or something with some of that different sound they just put out... The Official live video of a song called "AMA-TE-RAS"
In the last few years, the bands I've seen live are BAND-MAID, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, Gacharic Spin and Wagakki Band. And East of Eden, I will see the live this month. So please listen their songs too. I wish I (live)/ Gacharic Spin, Bring Me to Life (live) / Wagakki Band with Amy Lee , Evoluve (MV) / East of Eden.
There are others... Pretty Sure you're going to like a band called "Gacharic Spin" checkout their song called "Mindset", to see what they are about.
ASTERISM - DAWN (live) next pls
Nemophila and Hanabie are my 2 favorite Japanese all lady bands. Try Hanabie "We Love Sweets" but before you do check out the video "The right way to say Hanabie" for the correct pronounciation of their name. Nemophila's first music video called RAITEI is another good place to go for a reaction. They also do amazing covers. Their Japanese band covers are my favorites.
Love love love Nemophila they are just so damn good. To see them really go check out Oiran and Xen lives. They are a monster live band. Also CANNOT do J-Metal without Hanabie. Try We Love Sweets or Pardon Me I Have To Go Now, believe me you will not be disappointed.
Japanese women are greedy😆❣️
that's why they create music that's like simmered dish of whatever they like😮
the more you listen to their music, the more you can enjoy different tastes😊
many women acutually think of new songs while cooking😘
Saki may have left but in no way is Hazuki a slouch. Check out Nemophila's "Ama-Te-Ras" written by Hazuki or check out her work with her other project, Lisa-X band, and their recently uploaded live video for " A New Picture." Not only for Hazuki, but Lisa-X is also a top top virtuoso guitarist.
🤘
Not sure what you guys are familiar with since before starting the channel, but I'm loving what you've been looking at so far. A lot of great bands.
Thought I would throw in some recommendations for both Nemophila and other artists:

LiSA - Shouted Serenade: th-cam.com/video/fR7e0N1UkRI/w-d-xo.html
Nemophila is powerfull !
Check next time "Oiran" (oficial live vídeo)
ITS amazing🤘🏻💪🏻
Please listen to the MV for Adabana! So many bands....both of you will be in Japan for a long time. I luv your coordinated head banging. Haha it's kawaii
Haraguchi-san Haraguchi-san Haraguchi-san!
Try "Hypnosis" from Nemophila. Has a Middle Eastern flair to it.
You are going to get a lot of recommendations for newer bands and they are all worth checking out, but I'm going to recommend one by the OG queen of Japanese metal, Mari Hamada. Try Stay Gold live th-cam.com/video/hiiUKlu-7U0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ztour9egZWeT2mXj
Also Rolling Quartz from Korea, who are a simply great band. I've seen them live and they killed it. Try their latest "Stand Up" th-cam.com/video/8UkTOES0q7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8bKyNzp3Va54CJet
🤘😁🤘
Japan has a abundance of great musicians and bands! Nemophila is certainly one of them. I would recommend Whiskey Dust, Japanese Hard Rock band that takes me back to 80's and the Sunset strip with the likes of GNR and Skid Row Motely Crue. I would recommend this song Liar th-cam.com/video/MgEjHIUnvuU/w-d-xo.html and cover of Motley Crue Kick Start My Heart th-cam.com/video/ICcE1tUkryA/w-d-xo.html
Hanabie -we love sweets next? ;)
Nemophila is a 5 petaled flower. The band just lost 1 member and I understand all the flowers are losing one petal as a show of respect ;) .
Bridear, an all female Japanese metal band you'd like that is similar to this, just released a new song Still Burning (th-cam.com/video/v7UOTBAtJh0/w-d-xo.html)
Please react to more Nemophila, Oiran, Rise , Zen , Odessey
😁🤘
They lost Saki their "main" guitarist and everyone was a bit phased as she is a legend. Just released a video as a four piece and they might even be a better balanced unit.
the last cover video is not much worth it is jpop with autotune seems Saki took the metal with her
🤘🇺🇦❤️🌸
🤘🤘🤘🌸🌸🌸🌸🔥🔥🔥
What American influence are you thinking of?
Maybe some Slipknot came to mind. Definitely cannot categorize in one or just those because they did so much with this song!!! Definitely loved all the directions they went in!!! Crazy good 😭🙏😊
@@XplorationXpedition I've seen them wearing Slipknot T-shirt,s. I think of European bands like Arch Enemy & Jinjer. "Life" is their ballad, very different, but beautiful.
One guitarist has left the band so they're a 4 piece band now
Yes we read some comments! We definitely have to check them out again with the change!
Been commenting on your previous videos but I just realized I hadn't subscribed yet, so yeah, I just subscribed.
Troll. Troll account.
Check out nemophila song rise amazing song with meaningful lyrics
Saki, their best guitarist has left the band unfortunately. Saki was also in another Japanese band worth checking out Mary's Blood.
Mary's Blood Live at the Blaze Bloody Birth Day (th-cam.com/video/KODPK5CSgU0/w-d-xo.html)
👍👍 try one ok rock / neon live next 👍🎻
Snarky Puppy Shofuksn".
As good as the studio version is, the live is way better. More raw, full and heavier.
unfortunately Saki one of the Guitarists left the band recently
Ahhh yes we have been reading those comments! 😮
