The song is about someone that had past over, and has re-awoken as a vampire, Fuki is singing from the humanity side still trying to hold on and Shiren (growls) is the vampire side trying to get the person to feed for the 1st time. The song is from an EP which was released in 2015, but they had never done a video for it, but as it was popular they released this live recording. Unlucky Morpheus (UM) were started in 2008, as a side project, by the 2 you see singing in this video, Shiren and Fuki. They were in another band that was also a side project that did covers of video game songs, after the band stopped Fuki told Shiren that she had enjoyed working with him and wanted to do it again, so UM was started.It was just the 2 of them for a number of years. They did Touhou (a video game series in Japan) arrangement albums. After a few years the fans wanted to see them live, so they asked some friends to help them play live. In 2013 they added another member, who is also a singer, whom Shiren also had a side project with, then they slowly added other members, with Jill violin being the last in 2016, at this point it was still a side project, as all the members were in other bands, 1 or 2 still are. It wasn't until about 2017/18 that they started to make it more full time, as they started to release that they had become popular, not only in Japan, but around the world. They did there 1st tour of Japan in 2017 and played out side Japan for the 1st time in Oct 2019 in London, were I saw them. They have said that they want to do a world tour, but that idea is on hold due to the current problems. Shiren (growls) is normally the lead guitarist, but he has tenosynovitis of the arm, so has to rest it, now and again, so Jill takes over his part playing violin when they are live, like in this video, they also do it in another song, Black Pentagram. He has started to do more growls lately due to his arm problem, so they a lot of songs with out the growls. Fuki is just a workaholic, in 15 years she has been involved in over 90 releases, mostly full albums. Apart from being in UM she is also in Doll$boxx, a side project between her and Gacharic Spin (pop rock), she also has her own solo act, plus many other things she is part of inc guest appearances. She is also a designer and occasionally does modeling work. She is also untrained as a singer, it's all natural talent, as Fuki said, she sang like it at school, it's something she pick up from her mother, who sings the same way. The reason for the short break at the end, is that they are setting up the keyboards for Fumiya, drummer, as they are about to do an acoustic song without drums. At the time they were 55 mins in to a 2+ hour show. UM just don't do heavy they can do smooth/jazz. For smooth try "Hyakki Hikou (Acoustic LIVE)". One of the things I love about this band is that they are so talented and they don't do really hard stuff to show off, they do it because they can and for the love of music. Also they are such a nice bunch of people if you ever get to met them. If you ever watch one of their live streams they are always in the comments chatting away with the fans. Jill (violin) is just ........................ What can you say about Jill, that you can't say about the rest of the band, she is just super talented, she is a Tokyo University of the Arts graduate and totally the real deal. She has her own YT channel (jil violin channel) which she has some cover up on. She has also done and still does work with other bands, some of them are big names in Japan. When she 1st joined the band they did tend to put her down in the mix when they did studio tracks, but now as the fans love her, they have moved her a bit more to the front. They have also started a side project called "Quadratum From Unlucky Morpheus" which is Jinya, Jill, Ogawa, and Fumiya. They are doing instrumental covers and have an album out tomorrow, and maybe a video to go with it as they have just recorded one. Fuki has said that the violin takes the part of the vocalist. Other songs where Jill takes a big part: Tower Of Blood (she has a solo at the start) th-cam.com/video/cQtJ8ojy4hc/w-d-xo.html Black Pentagram (live) Others Dignity Of Spirit Cadaver/Revadac Unending Sorceress You also may like "Fate Gear - Sky Pirates" which has Jill as a guest. the song is a bit of a slower tempo than their normal stuff.
Welcome to Unlucky Morpehus, Fuki - Singer Shiren - Harsh vocals, guitar, composition, arrangement Jinya - Guitar Ogawa - Bass Fumiya - Drums Jill - Violin (part of the band, not just one time feature.) Shiren, the male vocalist is also a guitarist, due to a condition he has on his arms he is not able to play guitar for extended periods of time, so he takes breaks during concerts and does vocals instead. Unlucky Morpheus describe themselves as "technical melodic speed metal" and i think its pretty accurate, very technical, very fast and powerful and filled with neo classic elements. "The Tower of the Blood" live is a good one for violin lovers, but pretty much every song has violins.
Great reaction Jimmy. As a one time violin player this performance totally rocked me. 🎻 🎻 🎻 Awesome! By the way, the German word "Angreifer" means Attacker, Offender, Assaulter, Invader or Raider. (Pronounced like On-gry-fer)
You should try 'Angel of Salvation' of Galneryus, name of the band comes from Guarneri. IMO this song is musically a love song to a violin written by an electric guitar.
@@jimmysworld2512 hi New here, good reaction ! About Galneryus, yes Angel of Salvation in Live!!! Not Official Video (song is cuted/short) Here full live song : th-cam.com/video/vSP8-qelldA/w-d-xo.html
Awesome reaction man ! This is my second favorite (japanese) metal band after Lovebites !!! Fuki is an incredible singer, Jill an incredible violinist and the guys are awesome !!! And it has to be mentioned that they don't have any producer and do everything by themselves !!!! So you should see what kind of clips they make and react to their song "Unending Sorceress" video taken from their last album "Unfinished". But other songs like "Black Pentagram" or "Knight Of Sword" songs and videos are also... GREAT !!!
Never too late! Fuki is the queen of Japanese metal vocalists. She is classically trained, and that's where that weaponized vibrato comes from. She and Jill (v) have done some projects outside Unlucky Morpheus. I highly recommend this: "Juliet" th-cam.com/video/8PsEoS-3514/w-d-xo.html You will lose your mind.
Hello dude, new suscriber and i like your reaction. Just here to recomend more of Unlucky Morpheus There's 3 songs 1: Tower of blood (live) - An amazing performance of Jill, for me better than Angreifer 2: Dignity of spirit (live video) 12 min song with amazing performance from all of them, amazing solos and an athem from Unlucky Morpheus and Touhou fans 3: Get revenge of the Tyrant -The melodies of Violin are just amazing all with the beautiful voice of Fuki, the lead singer
I agree, but You forgot to mention one song - Black Pentagram (live, of course, from 2018 - Change of generation tour). Jill is playing Shiren's guitar parts on violin and it's freaking amazing. Maybe Jimmy shoud do a comparasion video - this live vs. official MV, to see the diference.
i really loved and enjoyed your reaction. plz react to "Knight of Sword" by Unlucky Morpheus. Im really really interested in how you react to this song.
Lyrics to the song translated via Google: Last memory in the dark For a squinting view With my mother's body that I can lie down cold The smell of blood that you can throat Who asks in a nightmare "Do you have any regrets?" The voice in my head screams To fulfill the punishment ... The worst awakening comes Destiny, does he call this causal? Complete your mortal mission In the casket left alone The color of the scattered flowers is a phantom I lost all my past and love Only one is here Only fangs that do not know how to thirst It used to be a human being ... Be proud of the beast that eats red blood Impulsivity barks "Eradicate them" With the bottomless void I know in a hurry Under the control of inescapable fate At least to comfort Pull the thread that has been cut once "The Boy of His Day" who was struck and awoke Smoked cardiopulmonary smoky murderous intent There is no other reason to live It used to be a human being ... Be prepared for the beast to be robbed The instinct roars, "Return everything to the soil." Death that leaks pleasure is the sword I tore all the punishment and the blame It ’s just like a fake “downgrade” Never give a way to escape "Pure blood" or "Mixed blood" Who are you Who are you listening to Do you really understand? There is no end to prayer for the dead If eternal condemnation is this stipulation Beast that eats red blood, keep ruin The soul shouts "Until you kill them all ..."

More please.....Unlucky Morpheus are incredible
Unlucky Morpheus are the best band I'm currently listening 2....Incredible.
Yess!! Such a great find on my journey into this rabbit hole of metal
Welcome to Unlucky Morpehus,
Fuki - Singer
Shiren - Harsh vocals, guitar, composition, arrangement
Jinya - Guitar
Ogawa - Bass
Fumiya - Drums
Jill - Violin (part of the band, not just one time feature.)
Shiren, the male vocalist is also a guitarist, due to a condition he has on his arms he is not able to play guitar for extended periods of time, so he takes breaks during concerts and does vocals instead.
Unlucky Morpheus describe themselves as "technical melodic speed metal" and i think its pretty accurate, very technical, very fast and powerful and filled with neo classic elements.
"The Tower of the Blood" live is a good one for violin lovers, but pretty much every song has violins.
I think a better description of them would be "gothic melodeath".
Don't forget that Shiren and Fumiya both play piano well and Shiren also breaks out a trumpet. So much talent in this band.
don't forget Fuki - costume design as well
@@maniacmitch1 I never forget Fuki. lol
@@Gregorycrafterthey are not goth and no this wouldn't be considered as death however if you want to hear goth you can check out yousei teikoku
Great reaction Jimmy. As a one time violin player this performance totally rocked me. 🎻 🎻 🎻 Awesome! By the way, the German word "Angreifer" means Attacker, Offender, Assaulter, Invader or Raider. (Pronounced like On-gry-fer)
The Tower Of The Blood and Black Pentagram next please!
Thanks Jay
Black Pentagram live because the violin is way more prominent than studio version.
Cadaver revadac. Revadac is cadaver played backwards.
They are one of the great band from japan
You should try 'Angel of Salvation' of Galneryus, name of the band comes from Guarneri.
IMO this song is musically a love song to a violin written by an electric guitar.
Thanks dragon 😎🤘🙏

Listen to Tower of the blood (live) by them. Great ~2min violin intro, and just in general very violin heavy and great song.

I love Unlucky Morpheus and went down the rabbit hole of everything Jill, Fuki, Galneryous and I cannot get out. And that is fine by me 🤘
you should check Jill doing Eddie van Halen's Eruption on violin.
Thanks Steven! Sounds awesome 😎
My wife plays violin and I've shown her several UM videos including Jill's Eruption video. She was more focused on and memorized by her technique.
i really loved and enjoyed your reaction. plz react to "Knight of Sword" by Unlucky Morpheus. Im really really interested in how you react to this song.
Thanks Onari... I will🤘😎
Fak jimmy! Im loving this
Lyrics to the song translated via Google:
Last memory in the dark
For a squinting view
With my mother's body that I can lie down cold
The smell of blood that you can throat
Who asks in a nightmare
"Do you have any regrets?"
The voice in my head screams
To fulfill the punishment ...
The worst awakening comes
Destiny, does he call this causal?
Complete your mortal mission
In the casket left alone
The color of the scattered flowers is a phantom
I lost all my past and love
Only one is here
Only fangs that do not know how to thirst
It used to be a human being ...
Be proud of the beast that eats red blood
Impulsivity barks "Eradicate them"
With the bottomless void
I know in a hurry
Under the control of inescapable fate
At least to comfort
Pull the thread that has been cut once
"The Boy of His Day" who was struck and awoke
Smoked cardiopulmonary smoky murderous intent
There is no other reason to live
It used to be a human being ...
Be prepared for the beast to be robbed
The instinct roars, "Return everything to the soil."
Death that leaks pleasure is the sword
I tore all the punishment and the blame
It ’s just like a fake “downgrade”
Never give a way to escape
"Pure blood" or "Mixed blood"
Who are you
Who are you listening to
Do you really understand?
There is no end to prayer for the dead
If eternal condemnation is this stipulation
Beast that eats red blood, keep ruin
The soul shouts "Until you kill them all ..."
Exhale deeply
Embraced by smoke
He gets off
Calling many times
Dignity of spirit unlucky morpheus pls :>
Ankimo very underrated band /,,/ Fuyuki 👏🎌🎸🎻
