Yup I’m from the USA, but have been following the Japanese Rock/Metal scene for about three years. These ladies slay every performance. The first concert they played outside of Japan was the Whiskey A GoGo last July. I can’t wait for next March when they return to SF, LA, and Mexico City. Awesome group.
@@TheCyberMantis You and me both brother! I missed Saki when she played Houston in her other/former group. I’m amazed they would come to the US the same week as SXSW in Austin (Music/Film/Gaming/Electronics) and not stop by. Then again, I’m sure Mayu will initially be limited with a newborn.
I’d provide more background on this group, but it sounds like you’re going to interview them. I can’t wait for that post! Well I’ll give a taste in case I can’t find the Interview. Saki (guitarist) formerly played with Destrose, Mary’s Blood and a side project with Frederic Leclercq of Dragon Force. Hazuki was a member of Disqualia and has played with Li-SA-X. Mayu was the vocalist for Lipstick. Mayu and Haraguchi-San (bassist) are the youngest and classmates. Tamu Murata is/was one of the most sought after session drummers in Japan and is a favorite of mine.
@@kevinlane7555 , their apart of the genre that is all rock, that is a sub for metal,alternative and what every u want to called it and they do play metal rifts and every style in rock u think existed!!
Nemophila: There versatility, presence, energy, musicianship & badassness is as good as any western band + there all cute AF Hanabie: upcoming independent band, these ladies have insane energy live. Yukina's (4"10) growls are almost as good as Tatiana (Jinjer) Lovebites: Power metal queens. Very technical and know how to put on a live show. Hopefully they can continue there success with new bassist Band-Maid: One of Japan's most known bands. Rock music doesnt get any harder than these ladies who put on badass live shows. Japan been producing quality rock/metal bands since 80s. Starting with Destrose (2005) its the ladies who have stepped up and kicking ass 🤘
The Japanese all-female metal scene has been blowing up over the last few years. Nemophila, Lovebites, and Band-Maid are probably the trifecta (Band-Maid is also playing Aftershock today, 10/9/22, though they are more hard rock than metal). There's a whole different work ethic in Japan, and I've found that their *average* musician is often comparable to our best! These bands are filled with straight up virtuosos (especially the three bands I mentioned)!
I can only agree with the previous speaker, Mark Mathews. These ladies know how to bring energy to the stage. 🔥🤘🏻 And let me tell you, they are by no means the only ones! Don't be put off by the language barrier, the music speaks for itself in a universal language that everyone understands. Greetings from Germany! ;) _____________________ 「 _'Our rock never dies ever.

Hola Walker ! Que alegría la banda triunfo en el festival, le gustó a la mitad de la gente ! Pronto serán más y más ! Creo que Nemophila se va para arriba. Se está cumpliendo los objetivos de Mayu de la banda y de todos los verdaderos fans ! Increíble soy adivino ! Jajaja saludos 🤜🤛
@@panterarufo9734 Yo PR 🤘 Agree with you 100%. This band won't stop until they reach the top...they are practically there as far as I'm concerned. Peace brother.
Nemophila, one of my favorites. U dont want to miss the best japanese female band & i'll take em over anybody anywhere, Band-Maid. Playing on sunday. Check out their latest, "Influencer". Been here since rock began & 3 of my favorite bands playing aftershock. U want to check out The Warning also on sunday. 3 badass sisters. Check out "Evolve" live at foro sol on MTV.
@@DavidKAnderson For me, Band-Maid are about the best "rock" band going nowadays, but Nemophila and Lovebites are in a dead heat for favorite metal bands, both in Japan and in the world.
The vocalist, Mayu, is 8 months pregnant. That was a great show for her condition. What a bundle of energy. And Haraguchi’s bass shook that place. Omg.
It makes me happy to see people falling for Nemophila. Mayu's voice is just sooo god damn amazing. I'm so upset I'm all the way in the east coast. Next March is my only chance just in case they wont show up for a while like another J-Rock band that I missed that JUST started and did a US tour shortly after just forming. The band is also AliA
Good thing I don't wait for these festival reports for great nee bands like Nemophila. Actually most of the great bands are in Japan right now and have been for a decade or more.
Love this band. Guitarist Saki, Drummer Tamu are well known. SakI been in various bands li,like, Marys Blood, Destrose. Tamu highly sought session drummer. They formed for a project of singer Mayu in 2019. But loved playing together formed Nemophila. Nemophila is a flower. This band is incredible.
Sounds like you folks have been missing out on the metal scene in Japan these past several years, including the rise of a bunch of kickass all woman groups. Nemophila guitarist Saki is known for Mary's Blood (on hiatus), and is in the duo Amahiru with Frédéric Leclercq (former DragonForce bassist). Lead singer Mayu was with Lipstick. Guitarist Hazuki was in Disqualia and the LisaX Band. The bassist Haraguchi-san was in Holderleins. Drummer Tamu Murata was with SORAMIMI and has also been a session musician in high demand. CURRENT NEWS: After performing with Nemophila at Aftershock, lead singer Mayu will taking maternity leave until January 2023, when they start a tour of Zepp venues in Japan. They'll be back in North America in March of 2023 with shows in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
They haven't been together very long, but guitarists, Saki and Hazuki and well known for their other bands. They both were in a great female metal band, Destrose. Destrose is like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. So many awesome bands came out of that one group. Saki and Eye formed Marys Blood, Haruna and Miho formed LOVEBITES, Hazuki was in Disqualia and Mina form FATE GEAR. I saw Nemophila on Fraiday and they ROCKED!!!
Hazuki wasn't in Destrose. However, she was in Disqualia, which DID feature three ex-members of Destrose (Ibuki, Narumi, and Risa), so she does have a connection. Hazuki was also, until their recent hiatus, in the Lisa-X Band. And bassist Haraguchi-san was interestingly previously in a band called Holderlins, though I haven't been able to find much about them online (not the same as Holderlin), so I don't think they were very successful. Saki also has a side project called Amahiru with ex-Dragonforce bassist Frederic LeClerq.
Me encantó sus reacciones a la banda Nemophila ! Esta banda tiene un enorme talento para tocar , fíjense ustedes cada una de ellas son tremendas músicos me saco el sombrero ! Y la cantante Mayu es la diferencia y distinción entre las bandas femeninas japonesas , diría que es una prodigio casi única , sorprendente ! Yo la descubrí ! Puede cantar de todo , pero su género musical deberá ser el thrash metal puro ! Si no sería un desperdicio de talento ! Ojalá se de cuenta Mayu ! Me suscribo con mucho gusto señores , por la baterista !! que es un comentario aparte y mi favorita de esta hermosa banda Nemophila 🔥 espectacular banda. 😎👌🇦🇷
Nemophila is the name of a blue flower with five petals. NEMOPHILA is an all female metal band from Japan: Tamu Murata on drums Haraguchi-San on bass Hazuki on guitar Saki on guitar and Mayu on vocals. NEMOPHILA is a young band, but all members have made experiences in other bands.
Japanese rock/metal is a deep ocean. I strongly suggest checking out these 2 bands: Lovebites - Holy War - power metal, thrash metal, hard rock and anything in between, heavily inspired by 80s metal, these girls are masterclass musicians and they put a lot of "top bands" to shame. HANABIE - We Love Sweets - title is sweet, but the song is very spicy, they dont really fit any specific metal genre, "harajukucore" is a term used by them, in simple/short words I would translate it to "colorful metal", but one thing is for sure, they go HEAVY. Edit: just realized this is not an official channel, either way, if you dont know these 2 bands check them out.
Better late than ever for you guys lol 👍 (warning, once you smell the heavy flower you will be addicted forever) and, maybe finish listening to that song? so you hear the killer guitar solos 🚑
Another All female band from Japan worth checking out since you love Nemophila I would recommend the power metal band Lovebites Break The Wall th-cam.com/video/5Pc0XK0lNmU/w-d-xo.html if you like Slayer or Metallica this song should appeal to you they also were inspired by bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and Helloween
Just wait till you find Band-Maid lol. Think they are playing at the House Of Blues in Houston on Oct. 28 or something like that. Band-Maid has a member called the barefoot assassin. When fire flies from her bass guitar I can see why she has the title. 🔥🎸🔥 Yea these ladies rock hard but I also recommend Rolling Quartz to check out. Amazing to think i thought SKorea was only K-Pop as guess not lol. Dreamcatcher is also worth checking out. The Foxhole runs deep as Babymetal & Horizon fans would now say lol. 💕🦊
I've known about Nemophila from their very start all the members have a history with other projects in Japan prior to Nemophila such as Saku from Mary's blood and other bands before that Mayu from lipstick Tamu formerly highly sought after session drummer and the list goes on with the other members another band you should highly check out is Hanabie who recently signed by Sony
@@rafaelornelas2085 try sleeping to "Black Hole" 220bpm, or crazy "Hate?" official live. Anyone who calls them soft rock has never heard them or thinks motorhead is easy listening. Sure they dial back, they have done nearly four hour 3 number nearly 4 hrs gigs.
