The featured artist is the drummer. Kyoko Tomita is the drummer from Princess Princess, the band who did this song originally. She was one of several drummers who sat in on sessions like this to cover for Tamu Murata, Nemophila's regular drummer, who was on maternity leave. The froggy t-shirt is a nod to Tamu, who used to wear a shirt like this a lot of the time. All the other musicians are Nemophila members. The singer is Mayu, bass is Haraguchisan (AKA Hara-chan), guitarist with long hair and glasses is Hazuki and the guitarist with darker hair is SAKI. Sadly, SAKI left the band around Easter this year. Princess Princess was an all-female, popular 80s/90s pop rock band. I don't think they still perform together, although Kyoko-san and Atsuko Watanabe, the bass player from Princess Princess, frequently play at the NaonのYaon festival organised by the veteran rock band Show-Ya.
Princess Princess disbanded 1996 obviously for different musical demands. They regrouped 2012 and made a tour in Japan for the tsunami victims in 2011. Next time after that and also the last time they performed 2016. That was also for some charity reason. Vocalist and guitarist of Puri Puri (nickname for the band) Kaori Kishitani, is also active in the music business. She performs solo and also has a band "Unlock the Girls" in which she plays with younger female musicians their music and also old Puri Puri covers.
This is a simple little delicious thing. Princess Princess was a pop/rock band 1980ies to 1990ies. Nothing complicate, kind of cute that has some catchy bangers. Kyoko was their drummer. Fun to see. This was a walk in the park for the much more proficient girls in Nemophila. Hazki, the girl you liked, is together with Saki, the other guitar girl extremely good guitarist. Only Hazki shined a bit in this song. Yes, Hazki is a shy one, but today when she has become warm in her clothes she is much more open. Saki is a shredder but Hazki is more sophisticated. Tamu, the drummer that was not here is one of Japan's finest drummer, and is on maternity leave from the band. Haraguchi-san on bass is also very good. And, of course, Mayo on vocals can both scream and sing very well. This is some skilled girls. Or rather woman as the mostly are mid 20ies now.
Forgot to tell that they are four now. Saki, that is a bit older and more senior, has left the band. The reason being twofold, she think she has done her mission to help this band grow and find their place and she has other musical plans in her life. I am not 100% sure what the latter means, but Nemophila has now been entering a hectic period with lots of touring and just playing the same songs over and over. Saki and the band are still the best of friends even though the band is sad. The band has adopted to the new situation and are pumping out videos with the new constellation, which they call Nemophila Evolution. In this constellation there is mor focus on Hazki and Haraguchi-san, which seems to make them grow. Maybe Saki was a bit to much senior holding Hazki and Haraguchi-san down a bit. We will see, I will miss the dual shredding by Saki and Hazki. Someone said that the singer Mayo plans to learn guitar, have not seen that yet though.

LOL. I just realised that SAKI is also wearing glasses in this video, so mentioning Hazuki's glasses probably wasn't too helpful.
@Sid-Far-More Retro, fun, vibing - you might like those medleys from NaonのYaon, so I suggest a reaction - maybe start with 2023.
