I'm in agreement with those that believe your obsession with a musician's hair, real or not, is quite bizarre. Newsflash: some performers color their hair too!!! Did you have a similar reaction when you realized that some male musicians use make-up? I, for one, could give a rat's ass. EDIT: I shut you down at 18:29 when you started ranting about hair again. I won't be back. Way to ruin some good music.
Dude, I can hardly believe how much time you spent criticizing their hairstyles and the visual kei thing. For example, the first time I saw Band-Maid, thirty seconds after listening to them, I stopped noticing what they were wearing.😘
Unlucky Morpheus always do their own thing, own marketing, no fixed ties, at that time they were also geared more towards the Japanese market, that has changed a lot, but I've never heard of a reactor concentrating on hair funny, especially because of FUKI, I would say that you already have her claws in your throat, it was also the tour finale, they were all exhausted, Shiren had serious problems with his arm and shoulder. But you with FUKI in a discussion about hair that would be awesome, besides that you're not even scratching the surface of Unlucky Morpheus, you haven't heard and seen anything. but I'm happy for you that you discovered them, but stay tuned otherwise you'll be really annoyed that you didn't take a close look
1st up Unlucky Morpheus in not a Visual Kei band. They may have 1 or 2 members that follow the life style, but the band is not. OK the next thing that should be pointed out is, Unlucky Morpheus will do 2 types of concerts, metal and Touhou, this is a Touhou concert. In Touhou concerts they play mostly their Touhou arrangement songs, and the band dress's and looks like characters from the game. The singer Fuki designs and makes the majority of the costumes for shows like this. They also have a make up/hair stylist in the dressing room, and there are no wigs needed. I don't think any of the members have ever had, what some people may say, a "proper job", out side of the music industry. Unlucky Morpheus started as a side project with just the 2 Fuki and Shiren in 2008, after another band they were in, which did amine song covers called "Magic Ninja". Magic Ninja only lasted a year, but Fuki had enjoyed working with Shiren so much, they wanted to work together more. Unlucky Morpheus were a side project, because they were both busy with their own full time bands at the time. Unlucky Morpheus became popular and people wanted to see them live. So they asked some friends to help them out, so the backing band would change around a bit, slowly over time they kapt to the same people. Then in 2016 they became a full time band, asking the others to join them. Jill has played the violin since she was 3, and graduated top of her year at the Tokyo University of the Arts, which is one of the most prestigious in the world. She is a world class violinist that fell in love with metal music. A lot of the bands older songs were not written with the violin in mind, but they did have keyboards, but Jill is so good she make it seem like it was writen for her, inc some guitar parts. The best way to see that is 【Live Cover】Eruption(Van Halen) ～ The Dance of Eternity(Dream Theater) th-cam.com/video/XC2A1hbuLmI/w-d-xo.html Fuki (singer) is, as far as I know, the only one to have worked outside of the music industry. As she also does voice acting, she used to run a radio show, she has a kanji kentai level 1 degree, and she is a Sugino fashion college costume creation graduate and in her spare time has done some modeling. And she has over 120 releases to her name, mainly full albums.
The vocalist Fuki was originally the vocalist of a band called "Light Bringer". The Lightbringer keyboardist is Mao, a shadow member of Love Bites. But I'm sick of your "appearance comments". You don't know that there is a fashion culture called Harajuku in Japan...
That was a long discussion about hair. What makes this band stand out is the melodies and harmonies in songs like Knight of Sword, Unending Sorceress, Angreifer and The Black Death Mansion Murders, which don't sound like your typical Japanese band. If you want better visuals, Unending Sorceress is pretty good.
These guys are legends. Perhaps you need to do more background research before commenting. Your comments seem to be very wide of the reality in 2023. Thumbs down.
How long have you had this hair fetish ? 😂 Seriously UM are a really good band and I'm not sure this track shows them to their best advantage - there are much better ones . Now that you've found UM I hope you realise you're now obliged to enter the rabbit warren that is UM - Doll$boxx and Gacharic Spin . There are 2 options - the right fork is Gacharic Spin and then on to Doll$boxx and the left fork is Doll$boxx and then on to Gacharic Spin 😉. GS is a supremely talented high energy band known for their manic craziness on stage and Doll$boxx is a slightly darker , heavier version of 4 members of GS combined with Fuki from UM on vocals . I'd definitely recommend that you check them both out - don't think you'll be disappointed - enjoy !
Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the music, but I thought the 10 minute lecture on hair was a bit much, especially since you could only assume they had wigs on. Some of their music videos have over 4 million views, and they have a long list of songs. Shiren, the "wig" guitar player, generally designs their clothes, it is part of their look, just as Lovebites wears party gowns. They do have different clothing styles, but tend to go with that nostalgic look. Neither of these songs I would consider are their most popular, since Black Pentagram, Spirit of Dignity, Black Death Mansion Murders, etc. are probably more well known. Jill, the drummer, one guitarist and bass formed a small group called Quadratum, mostly during the pandemic where Jill did several covers, including Van Halen's Eruption and Yngwie's Far Beyond the Sun. But thanks for listening, I appreciate it, and maybe give them another chance :) !!
@@TheAncientMetaler-1963 Cool. I think some of the other songs are better, but I thought the concert footage provided the energy they can bring as well as demonstrate some of their skills.
@@TheAncientMetaler-1963 They aren't wigs. That is actually their hair. Yes, even the guitarist. Sorry they don't fall into your AT&T salaryman stereotype. That aside, you are very judgemental... and not even of what is important. I seriously doubt that anyone tuned in to hear a ten minute musing on hair. Of course, you are as entitled to your opinion as anyone else is, you definitely are. But sometimes opinions are best kept to ourselves. In other words, I think you should probably find something else to do beside reaction videos, because you are hands down the worst I've ever seen. Not because of your opinion, but your approach and delivery. Hearing you drone on about unimportant drivel made me want to pull out what hair I have left. But that's just my opinion.
another great Japanese band the music scene over there puts the USA to shame the only time i listen to my radio here is as an alarm when it goes off the crap that's playing is so bad i instantly awaken and punch the alarm off lol
A secondary comment, but from what I have seen, that is the actual hair of all members, although Fuki may have some extensions. Costume designing is from both Fuki and Shiren, it's just their look.
UM is epic, and fuki is not just a good singer, she is a legendary singer, she has participated in countless bands, projects and solos, guitarist shiren was one of the earliest guitarists in "kami band"(babymetal) , I want to say you haven't seen what's so special about UM, they are one of the best bands in Japan in my opinion. I recommend《phantom blood》live as the next🤘🏻
(Please forgive any overlap with the research you already did). Congrats on finding Unlucky Morpheus-one of the best, most creative bands in the world today. They remain independent by choice, in order to retain complete artistic freedom. They started off in 2008, focused on making soundtracks to video games and anime. They went through a lot of different stylistic phases, but the big transformation was when they brought Jill (violin) on board. Like many Japanese bands, they sound incredibly clean and tight live. My top suggestion for a live clip: “Angreifer” th-cam.com/video/gGKWgM4IOgc/w-d-xo.html Meanwhile, amid the (justified) excitement over the Japanese all-female metal bands, we forget there are plenty of guys who throw down. Shiren, founder and one of the guitarists, also does the growls. Fumiya (Drums) is, as you saw, insane and inexhaustible-one of the best rock drummers in the world. Jinya (G) and Ogawa (B) are top-notch as well. Basically, this band is a technical monster. Fumiya and Ogawa also have interesting, “beast” personae which contrast with the “beauty” of Fuki and Jill. That contrast is a deliberate trope, similar to the “Beauty and the Beast” imagery of many European symphonic metal bands. Fuki (lead singer) is a legend in Japan, and one of the busiest artists anywhere. She is also lead singer for UM, Doll$boxx, Lightbringer and her own ongoing project, Fuki Commune. Her style is very much out of the Japanese classical tradition, with the oversold vibrato and intense high notes. She collaborates with a lot of the top musical talents in Japan. Jill (violin) also has a busy dance card, including collaborations with Fuki and others outside of UM. Jill is actually my favorite member of Unlucky Morpheus. I consider her the best rock/jazz/metal violinist in the world today, and probably the best since Jean-Luc Ponty. After Shiren (founder, original lead guitarist) started suffering from an injury that limits his playing, they rewrote a lot of his solos for Jill. Hard to come up with another violinist who could pull that off. Here are links to instrumentals featuring her in UM’s instrumental project Quadratum: Cover of van Halen "Eruption" th-cam.com/video/eTb0TQtVT6k/w-d-xo.html Cover of Malmsteen "Far Beyond the Sun" th-cam.com/video/E2hZDzJp9Pc/w-d-xo.html Cover of Dream Theater, played blindfolded: th-cam.com/video/8eZVVtaOBKk/w-d-xo.html I saw UM live in London in 2019, when they headlined Metal Matsuri. Great show, and the chemistry between Fuki and Jill was electric.
song "Dragon Force" in 21:20 is one of the best in this live, btw. do you have access to other lives, like 2018 Change of Generation finale or 2017 live?
A bit of advice, you talk to much about insignificant subjects. It's about the music.

Wtf, bro MUSIC listen the Music... Hair, dress, etc who care???🤦🏻♂️
It is painful to listen to you pausing so dramatically and just being rude goodbye

In Japan, no one uses the word visual kei anymore.
Please, listen to any of the songs in the other comments here.
Please do it for yourself.

wat a load of crap of an intro, why even start with assumption for a band that you just saw for less than a minute?
The songs are divided by the stopgall comments, and the precise sound composition is ruined.
