The Drummer is Tamu Murata, a well respected session drummer in Japan (as I understand it). She's a mother of two. The singer Mayu just had a child in November. There are videos of a pregnamt Mayu rocking Aftershock last summer.
@@LikeMindedLunatics FYI - Band-Maid was also at Aftershock. They will be opening for "The Last Rock Stars" in NY on Feb. 3rd and 4th and in LA on Feb.10th.
Glad to see you looking into Nemophila! They are really versatile - each of their songs sound different, but still sound like them. Revive, Hypnosis, Style, Adabana, and Seize the Fate will give you a sense of that. Then throw in Night Flight for some straight up rock & roll.
Yeah we had a great time with this one! We really like when bands are kind of eclectic in their sound, and I've already got a couple of your recommendations saved in our potential reaction playlist! I'm glad you liked this one, and thanks again for the recommendations!
Nemophila are pure 🔥🔥🔥. They play a wide variety of styles and excel at all of them. Both guitarists play 7 strings and the bassist uses a 5 string. Hazuki is endorsed by Ibanez and Saki has her own signature Killer guitar. Tamu is one of the most respected drummers in Japan. They are all seasoned musicians from previous bands. I recommend you check out their song Adabana next.
We had a great time reacting to their music. We tend to bounce around with our reactions quite a bit, but we'll be back around to Nemophila. We had too much fun not too. Hit the subscribe button and stick around!
The way you described the drummer is pretty much spot on. She is married with two kids but is such a badass on the drums that it is just a part of normal everyday life to play a heavy hard-hitting metal song and then give the baby a bottle.
Nemophila are in the middle of touring Japan and in March they will be having a 7 city tour in the US. They will start with 3 shows in California and end with a show in NYC. The middle part of the US tour might have some interest for you guys - they will play Houston, Austin and Dallas. They will be playing in Austin on March 16 and 17 as part of SXSW. I will be seeing them in Dallas on March 19. They are also in Houston on March 14. They are a terrific band. They are in my top 3 Japanese bands after Band-Maid and Lovebites (I saw Band-Maid in Dallas a few months ago). I think y'all should see them live if at all possible
I saw that were playing SXSW, but I'm gonna be honest with you here. My wife and I get the hell out of town during SXSW. It's an utter nightmare. So as much as I want to see them live, I'll probably have to skip that show. I'm hoping they'll be on some festival lineups in the near future.
@@LikeMindedLunatics I don't blame you at all for leaving town during SXSW although that is quite a few days to be out of town. If Nemophila was not playing Dallas, I would not be making the trip to Austin to see them. You should consider the Houston or Dallas shows. The Dallas show is at Trees which has a capacity of only about 400 and it was less than half house when I bought my tickets a week ago. Nemophila has not been announced for any festivals yet. Band-Maid is playing Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple in May and Hanabie will be at Blue Ridge Rock Fest in September.
J-Metal has completely taken over my playlist since discovering it just 2 years ago. NEMOPHILA and LOVEBITES top the list of a few dozen elite-tier bands from Japan. 🌸✨🌠
NEMOPHILA have lots of great songs. Each song sounds different. Pick any video and take a look. FYI, they will be touring the USA in March. They spent the Covid time making dozens of cover song videos that are posted on their channel.
Nemophila is a band formed by musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. The lead singer Mayu has a colorful voice, She can sing different styles of music very well. And Nemophila is a diverse band, They do a lot of different genres of rock/metal music. I recommend《adabana》as the next🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
A bunch of other commenters have already mentioned "adabana" so I've already put it on our list! And I hope you check out more of our content! Like Minded Lunatics was formed by myself (Mark) and my writing partner Todd. Both of us are professors of composition here in Texas, and we try to bring a little literary analysis to everything we do! Ricky is professor of music at Texas State, and his focus is on digital music. Hopefully you like our content and have already hit the subscribe button!
Nemophila rock, great band. This band has so much variety in their influences in rock, hard rock, metal, grunge, it all shines through in their music. Their latest album Seize the fate, songs are such variety, even genre wise. Murata Tamu is the drummer, great session drummer before, well loved. Saki is the guitarist with her signature Amp. Hazuki is the other guitarist, both virtuosos. Haraguchi San is the bassist. Mayu the vocalist is so unique. Both Saki and Hazuki play 7 strings. Haraguchi plays a five string bass. They formed in august 2019 as a one show Session for Mayu. Realized they love playing together, formed. But then restrictions set in, Tamu had a baby in early 2020. They’ve done everything themselves using YT brilliantly.
This is one of the bands to watch, no question. They just started in 2019 and are blowing up fast. As you can see from the gang vocals, they don't take themselves too seriously-Hazuki even winks. 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.” First, a correction: Nemophil-a (NOT “Nemophil-i-a) were founded in 2019. You got the names, here are also their former bands: ex-Mary's Blood guitarist Saki ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki (also plays with Lisa-X) ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Murata Tamu Initially, they were just a side project, co-organized by Mayu with some help from Saki, largely to keep busy in the early days of the pandemic. They started by posting metal covers of well-known rock, pop and metal songs. Then they began posting originals, starting with “Oiran” th-cam.com/video/eyb2NtPwcxc/w-d-xo.html The viral reaction seems to have convinced them they were onto something potentially big, so they’ve been putting a lot more work into it, including some successful live-streams and an appearance at the annual Japanese female rock festival NAONのYAON. They tend toward hard and heavy, but also do ballads and some pop covers. Drummer Murata Tamu took time off to give birth to her son, and on her return, the rest of the bandmembers gave her a welcome back that resulted in an extremely moving moment captured on live stream: “Life” th-cam.com/video/HFnEYhbEAqg/w-d-xo.html After Oiran, others to check include “Raitei”, which means “Thunder” in Japanese, and yes, they bring the thunder: th-cam.com/video/lh-dVLKP314/w-d-xo.html More recent drops that showcase their intensity and versatility: “Adabana” th-cam.com/video/AxYiOwsu6wU/w-d-xo.html “Style” th-cam.com/video/Aph5GON6rPc/w-d-xo.html (written by their bassist, Haraguchi-san) “Seize the Fate” th-cam.com/video/4tpgLyckVYg/w-d-xo.html Saki is the only one who had been with a breakout band before (Mary’s Blood); Hazuki and Murata-tamu are also considered elite musicians and have worked with a lot of other top artists. Hara-san is the youngest but is clearly a great talent and has been developing in front of our eyes. She has already written several songs for the group. And of course Mayu is quickly establishing herself as a great metal vocalist.
For more Nemophila (Neh-Moe-Fee-Lah) go for Oiran, Raitei, Adabana, Hypnosis, Style, and Seize The Fate for other songs to listen to (also Dissension and Oiran have live versions). Another J-Metal band to check out is Hanabie (Ha-Nah-Bee-Eh), start with We Love Sweets, then other songs to check out are L.C.G., Reiwa Dating App Generation, "Pardon Me, I Have To Leave", Envy (even though it doesn't have the current/(hopefully) permanent drummer), and Neet Game.
Thanks for all the info! We've already reacted to Hanabie on the channel. You can check that out here: th-cam.com/video/fu-S3kGcmN4/w-d-xo.html We also have quite a few reactions where we react to Japanese rock/metal bands that you might like! I encourage you to take a look at our channel, and if you liked what we're doing, hit the subscribe button and stick around!
Both guitars are 7-strings. Hazuki (first solo, black hair with glitter) plays Ibanez. Saki (second solo, red hair) plays a signature Killer guitar, designed by Akira Takasaki of Loudness fame. They do have a "US Version" of this song, which is entirely in English, though this version is almost entirely English, except for a couple lines during the choruses. Incidentally ... what you said "imagine doing that for an hour-long show" ... think about Lovebites, who I believe you've checked out before. They play 2-2.5 hour shows at an even faster pace! I nearly pass out just listening from my couch!
That's very cool! Thanks for the info! I'll pass it along to Ricky. Yeah, we've watched Lovebites several times. I'm always amazed at musicians that can do their thing for extended periods of time. Drummers and rhythm players are fascinating to me. I've watched old, live videos of Malcolm Young playing, and I get the same feeling. He was like a machine.
Hasta mi abuela que es tango y Gardel le gusta esta canción ! Tremendo tema fabuloso, será un clásico del metal japonés ! Tremendo aporte de está linda banda Nemophila 🔥 espectacular batería,me saco el sombrero! 👋👋👋
i have definitely noticed when japan does metal it never really goes in the death metal or any of that stuff direction that is big here in north America, a lot of it tends to be power metal, symphonic, etc. more European style. which i LOVE as i started with those genres. but there's always some like maximum the hormone does plenty of super crunchy guttural style.
Yeah, Ricky and I have talked a lot about that. We think it's probably because in other countries, the symphony is a much more accessible genre; whereas, here in the states, it's kind of seen as a hoity-toity genre, and blues was kind of the working person's genre. So we kind of think there was a cultural difference that just leant itself to a more symphonic sound in other countries.
There's been a ton of comments suggesting that one, so when we come back around on Nemophila that'll be the one we do! Thanks for checking this video out! We appreciate it!
LOVEBITES new song Judgement Day.. NEMOPHILA new Album songs Seize The Fate, ZEN, Rock & Roll Is... HANABIE - songs We Love Sweets, NEET GAME, new song Pardon Me.... ASTERISM - songs Dawn, Rising Moon,Church, Blaze....
NEMO-FEE-LA... No "I" at the end.. Named after the blue five petal Nemophila flower that is native to the North America but there is big park in Japan (Hitachi Seaside Park) where its planted and when they bloom, it turns the whole park blue. The bands style is to hard and soft at the same time. As they say "Fluffy Hell" (Fuwafuwa jigoku). They will do a US tour in March (California, New York, Texas). Most of this song is in English. The lyrics are embedded if you had turned the CC on. They did a "US Version" of this song and others that are all full English. During the Coronavirus Apocalypse of the Bizarro World they did many covers of Classic songs. This kept their popularity growing and one of the few good things to come out of that period..

Believe or not their biggest influences are the top 80's Japanese rock/metal bands such as X Japan, Show Ya, and Luna Sea. They began as Mayu's Session Band, put together for a limited time to showcase Mayu. They found that they enjoyed playing together, they meshed easily and were in sync. So they became Nemophila. The stack you commented on is Saki's, she's had it forever. First saw I when she was with Mary's Blood. They have performed at the Whisky a Go Go and the Aftershock festival. They will be touring the US in March.
Oh that's very cool. Thanks for the info! I looked at their touring schedule, and they'll be here in March, but it's during SXSW, which is, to be kind, an utter nightmare. So I may wait for another less chaotic time to see them. We keep meaning to cover X Japan on the channel and just haven't gotten around to it yet.
just an FYI, idk if anyone has said it, but on alot of japanese rock/metal band videos these days, if you turn on CC, you get the offical engish translated lyrics. and with Nemophila, you will find out that alot of the songs from their first full album are usually 70-80% english, especially this one. just have to listen for the tone shifts. would recommend turning CC on and listen and not pause every 3 sec at least one time. will be able to hear and understand what the song is about lol.
Well, this playlist is about watching music videos, and not necessarily about just listening or hearing a song. So we choose songs that have elaborate music videos because we think the music video is kind of a neglected art form.
I would like to recommend another band from Japan, called Asterism… an instrumental three-piece band with lots of talent… I think that both of you will enjoy… first song, Dawn live 2019
Just Nemophila..Not "Philia".. They are amazing ladies of metal, and very diverse ! Thank You for reacting to them.. and both Hazuki and Saki play 7 string..
"Just Nemophila..Not "Philia" Yeah, I didn't realize I'd misspoke until I was editing, and then it was too late. My apologies. "They are amazing ladies of metal, and very diverse" We love seeing ladies throwing up the horns around here. Ricky and I think some of the strongest voices in rock/metal right now are female voices, and it makes us very happy. "Thank You for reacting to them" Absolutely! Thanks for watching.

We always appreciate feedback! We've actually recorded a video that addresses many of your concerns! You can check that out here: th-cam.com/video/C0W_NEDff0c/w-d-xo.html
You know who they sounds like?... Nemophila! You paused the video 18 times, 18, and you even paused during a guitar solo, can I say that it's a bit frustrating...
There are literally thousand of channels here on TH-cam, and there's no doubt many of them that have content you would enjoy. But instead of seeking out things you like, you're spending your time and energy complaining. Instead of putting negativity in the world, why don't you support the things you like and ignore the things that aren't for you?
@@LikeMindedLunatics Your reactions were awesome, liked it a lot, it's just the pauses, 2 or 3 times seems a good average, but it's ok, shutting my mouth and going elsewhere seems quite fair. peace
Dude, how many times are you guys gonna pause the song? Your channel your rules I guess. Insane amount of pausing. Moving on. To bad, this is a great song, from a great band.
The funny thing is you could have moved on and simply found a channel that better matched your preferences but instead you decided to comment and put negativity into the world.
@@LikeMindedLunatics He probably has watched the music video a hundred times (like I have) so I never understand why people complain about pauses in a reaction video. I guess it is just some peoples nature.
@@danw6048 I completely understand that our style isn't to everyone's liking. We can't all like this same stuff, and that's cool. But what I don't get is people who have to comment on things they don't like. Doesn't make sense to me.
The biggest mistake you make with Japanese bands, especially female bands. To conclude from the appearance to the age and then to the musician experience. We from the West are always wrong. Most of the whole band are only new to us, relatively. We had time in the pandamy to click through TH-cam. And beer from the can is still a mortal sin for me, but I know, still better than the usual at your place
"The biggest mistake you make with Japanese bands, especially female bands. To conclude from the appearance to the age and then to the musician experience." I don't think we did that. If we did, I'm sorry it came across that way.
Ah gotcha! I thought we'd screwed up somehow! And I get it. I'd much rather have my beer in a glass like a gentleman, but I find that the can is much more conducive to my violent hand gestures when I speak, especially after I've been drinking!
The Drummer is Tamu Murata, a well respected session drummer in Japan (as I understand it). She's a mother of two. The singer Mayu just had a child in November. There are videos of a pregnamt Mayu rocking Aftershock last summer.

They have performed at the Whisky a Go Go and the Aftershock festival. They will be touring the US in March.
Oh that's very cool. Thanks for the info!
I looked at their touring schedule, and they'll be here in March, but it's during SXSW, which is, to be kind, an utter nightmare. So I may wait for another less chaotic time to see them.
We keep meaning to cover X Japan on the channel and just haven't gotten around to it yet.
@@LikeMindedLunatics The best Z Japan videos are the Last Live ones. Better audio and visual clarity.
just an FYI, idk if anyone has said it, but on alot of japanese rock/metal band videos these days, if you turn on CC, you get the offical engish translated lyrics. and with Nemophila, you will find out that alot of the songs from their first full album are usually 70-80% english, especially this one. just have to listen for the tone shifts. would recommend turning CC on and listen and not pause every 3 sec at least one time. will be able to hear and understand what the song is about lol.
Well, this playlist is about watching music videos, and not necessarily about just listening or hearing a song. So we choose songs that have elaborate music videos because we think the music video is kind of a neglected art form.
I would like to recommend another band from Japan, called Asterism… an instrumental three-piece band with lots of talent… I think that both of you will enjoy… first song, Dawn live 2019

Yeah, I didn't realize I'd misspoke until I was editing, and then it was too late. My apologies.
Cheers from Austin!
@@LikeMindedLunatics welcome 🤘🏼
Just Nemophila..Not "Philia".. They are amazing ladies of metal, and very diverse ! Thank You for reacting to them.. and both Hazuki and Saki play 7 string..

"They are amazing ladies of metal, and very diverse"
We love seeing ladies throwing up the horns around here. Ricky and I think some of the strongest voices in rock/metal right now are female voices, and it makes us very happy.
"Thank You for reacting to them"
Absolutely! Thanks for watching. I hope you check out more of our content and consider subscribing if you haven't already.
@@LikeMindedLunatics its ok.. most have done the same.. hope you continue with this great band..

Hola amigo Salas, me gustó está reacción con estos tipos que parecen metaleros serios ! Cada vez más gente les gusta Nemophila 🔥 saludos.
@@panterarufo9734 así es Amigo, al menos voy viendo comentarios también desde aquí en España, no muchos por desgracia. Pero es que en la unica emisora de rock que tenemos, ya no Nemophila, ninguna banda japonesa, ni siquiera Loudnes, en fin, pero ya estoy yo dando la barrila para que se conozcan
NemophilA guys, there is no I before A.
Yeah, I didn't realize I'd misspoke until I was editing, and then it was too late. My apologies.
You should check out Crystal Lakes "Aeon" or "Mephisto"
Watch the channel black kucing(cat in malay) about nemophila history...
Nemophila not Nemophilia
If you don't understand Japanese, why don't you just use the settings to set English subtitles?

Nee-mo-feel-a
No.... There is no pause during a solo.
We pause in our videos when we feel like it. Go somewhere else if you don't like it.
"NEMOPHILA" is pronounced incorrectly.
"PHILA" = "Phila" of "Philadelphia".
More pauses than song...lol.
I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but you can listen to this song in its entirety without a reaction. lol
Stop pausing the song in every few second, collect your thoughts, write a note and the talk, don't just be blithering nonsense.
We always appreciate feedback! We've actually recorded a video that addresses many of your concerns! You can check that out here: th-cam.com/video/C0W_NEDff0c/w-d-xo.html
Please read the name more closely. There is no "...FILIA". There is only "...FILA" >>>FEE-LA
Please read the other comments more closely to see where I've already addressed this.
too much stop...
Then watch another channel.
You know who they sounds like?... Nemophila! You paused the video 18 times, 18, and you even paused during a guitar solo, can I say that it's a bit frustrating...
There are literally thousand of channels here on TH-cam, and there's no doubt many of them that have content you would enjoy. But instead of seeking out things you like, you're spending your time and energy complaining. Instead of putting negativity in the world, why don't you support the things you like and ignore the things that aren't for you?
@@LikeMindedLunatics Your reactions were awesome, liked it a lot, it's just the pauses, 2 or 3 times seems a good average, but it's ok, shutting my mouth and going elsewhere seems quite fair. peace
It's Nemophila. Not NemophiLia.
Dude, how many times are you guys gonna pause the song? Your channel your rules I guess. Insane amount of pausing. Moving on. To bad, this is a great song, from a great band.
The funny thing is you could have moved on and simply found a channel that better matched your preferences but instead you decided to comment and put negativity into the world.
@@LikeMindedLunatics He probably has watched the music video a hundred times (like I have) so I never understand why people complain about pauses in a reaction video. I guess it is just some peoples nature.
@@danw6048 I completely understand that our style isn't to everyone's liking. We can't all like this same stuff, and that's cool. But what I don't get is people who have to comment on things they don't like. Doesn't make sense to me.
The biggest mistake you make with Japanese bands, especially female bands. To conclude from the appearance to the age and then to the musician experience. We from the West are always wrong.
Most of the whole band are only new to us, relatively. We had time in the pandamy to click through TH-cam. And beer from the can is still a mortal sin for me, but I know, still better than the usual at your place
"The biggest mistake you make with Japanese bands, especially female bands. To conclude from the appearance to the age and then to the musician experience."
I don't think we did that. If we did, I'm sorry it came across that way.
@@LikeMindedLunatics No, you don't.
Was more generally meant for all, but that with the beer, that was for you :)
Ah gotcha! I thought we'd screwed up somehow!
And I get it. I'd much rather have my beer in a glass like a gentleman, but I find that the can is much more conducive to my violent hand gestures when I speak, especially after I've been drinking!
