Ya, Hsl-Ca was born a guitar goddess. Her facial expressions her body movements just flow naturally from her. 7 string bass... he used all 7 and damn, he brought it! Drummer as solid as always.
In my opinion HaL -Ca is the fastest Female Shredder in Japan . Bucket Head was so Impressed with the Band the he recorded on their Album . Some people call her Steve's Vai 's Granddaughter .🤘🤘🤘
this is one of their early compositions. you can see them performing it live at some competition they participated in when Haruka was only 12 (and even then had already developed her guitar goddess power pose , and Miyu had already started to develop his strut). it was a year after they met (at the previous year's edition of the same competition). here's the link (for your own personal enjoyment) : th-cam.com/video/BMMZB4U_mEk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
It is pretty amazing how close this performance was to the MV, especially the fact that Haruka apparently wrote this (and performed it) while she was only playing guitar for 2 years. I have read on multiple places that she started playing at age 10 and in this video: - Haruka (guitar) is 12, almost 13 this was the same month as Haruka's birthday - Miyu (bass) is 13 - Mio (drums) is 15, almost 16 this was the same month as Mio's birthday as well They litterally blow the majority of adult bands out of the water from a technical standpoint at such young ages even though Haruka wasn't playing guitar for that long (not sure when the 2 brothers started to play their instruments). There is a reason why people like her, LiSa-X, Senri Kawaguchi and Kanade Sato (both on drums) are considered "prodigies". I am not the biggest fan of that word, but how else would you describe them and that's not to take anything away from Miyu and Mio, I would happily put them in that camp as well, Miyu is probably my favourite bass player at the moment and he was already showing that off his skills at age 13.
@@MaartenT 💯. and "prodigy" is the right word. problem with most "prodigies" is that most of them disappear almost as soon as they're discovered .... they either become session players and are otherwise never heard from again, _or_ just aren't cut out for the business/lifestyle. 🤷♂ from what i've read, i want to say that Mio started with drums at 5 , and Miyu on bass at 7 ; and apparently guitar isn't Haruka's first instrument (i remember her talking about first tinkering with drums/piano at 5 or 7 or something). All 3 of them attended Yamaha Music Institute. And yes, your timeline does match up with everything i've read as well. sadly, I feel like it's easy to overlook Mio ; but he's _deceptively_ good. his sense of timing is top-notch (there's not many drummers today , certainly not of the current generation, that don't use in-ear click tracks) ; if you're not paying attention, it's easy to miss his timing changes while getting distracted by all the bells and whistles coming from Haruka and Miyu. he's not flashy ; but he also never over-plays -- always just exactly what the song needs .... his brilliance is hidden beneath his subtlety ; and just seems to be his style. that being said, i think if he started going beast-mode every so often , that would certainly give the band more punch that could help really get them over (in terms of getting more attention). But yeah, Haruka is currently my favorite guitarist of the moment , and same goes for Miyu. The only thing holding Mio back for me is i would like to see him expand his playing a bit , though what he does is well more than adequate (Vlad from Jinjer currently holds my top spot for current drummers -- he's got that certain slick pizzazz about his style that's hard to come by).
Interesting to note that this awesome studio performance is from January 2018. Guitarist Hal-Ca (born November 23rd, 2002) was barely 15-years-old at the time. 🎸

Japanese rock music didn't start recently, it existed concurrently with western society for over 60 years. People around the world just didn't know they existed because there were no communication tools like the Internet back then. And many people didn't know they existed because Western labels didn't sign sales contracts with Japanese musicians for the world market, effectively ignoring them and not promoting them. Asterism and Nemophila are simply the children and grandchildren of the parent generation of Japanese musicians who were buried in those Japanese markets. There is just another rock market on the planet that has existed for 60 years. It's just that the spread of the Internet since the millennium has opened the door for that information distribution now.

Enjoy! 🙏❤

she was a pretty ferocious performer back then! her stage persona has mellowed a bit but the playing and charisma has only gotten better...
Thanks for checking them out. My favorite power trio since Cream.
These kids are just from a different dimension... called Japan!

Managed to see them live three times last year. Twice in Japan and once in California.
Just discovered them today. First Japanese rock band that has actually appealed to me.
Live at Zepp Yokohama is unbelievable.
If your heart isn't pumping after this song, you might want to have a friend check in on you to see if you're alive .

Love it heavy and melodic at the same time. Love the squeels HAL-CA gets out of her guitar
There's a cool video of them busking on Hollywood Blvd. in front of the Hard Rock Cafe last year when they were performing at an anime expo. 🙂
Itai: _"In this one she has not yet shown so much virtuosity."_
Hal-Ca: _"Oh, I haven't? Hold my beer..."_ 🤭
I love these three and am very excited to see where their journey will take them now with the change in style and Hal-Ca's vocals.
