Been enjoying this group for a few months now. Love the contrasting vocals and especially the cleans. Hopefully they get back on track and keep creating great music!

STMLT(Stimulate), an all-girl band and TH-cam creators, quickly gained a large subscriber base, though not primarily due to their music. Their TH-cam channel resembles a reality TV show, with members engaging in playful pranks that often lead to someone ending up taking a shower or accidentally revealing what’s under their skirt. Portions of these scenes are usually blacked out to keep the content appropriate. These lighthearted pranks, combined with the somewhat provocative nature of some of the content, have significantly boosted the group’s visibility. While the band has expressed frustration that their fame isn’t rooted in their music, they are fully aware that this type of content has been a major factor in their rapid rise in popularity. It’s part of a deliberate strategy to attract attention, even if it’s not the recognition they ideally want for their musical talent.
From reading comments I believe the band's name is meant to be represent "Stimulate" - this song and reactions to it appear to have been everywhere on YT and in this instance I'm not mad about it cause it's really enjoyable! Good balance of vocal styles and I particularly like the clean vocalist's voice/tone, which for most bands is the thing I'm most likely to dislike. Agree that I like the tone for all the instruments - keyboard in there too which is always a bonus for me.
As mentioned by homegnome and others, STMLT is short for Stimulate. They've only been around for a couple of years so there isn't a huge library of songs, but what I've heard so far I've enjoyed. Worth noting is that the drummer, keyboard player and grit-and-growl vocalist were all new here, having replaced some previous members that left.
By the way, two vocalists, clean and sharp vocals - quite a common phenomenon in Japanese bands. It makes sense, even fans who don't like one vocalist may like another.
I think because so many Japanese bands do fake live videos (replacing the live audio with studio recordings but still advertising them as live performances), many people either don’t know or have forgotten what “live” truly sounds like. What I really appreciate is that this band or its management didn’t resort to those shenanigans - we get to hear it as played/sung, including the singer mangling the high note before the final chorus (the one you kinda looked sideways at too). It’s a little sad I guess to be impressed that they didn’t just overdub the studio version to get rid of the live imperfections, but I am.
True, though in the west miming live performances is mostly limited to the pop genre and long past their primes rock bands. Maybe it exists to some degree in the western metal scenes, I don’t know, but it seems rather prevalent in J-rock/J-metal. And that feels like an industry agenda rather than the bands choosing to do it themselves, because these styles of music require a lot of commitment to play well. And as a metal/shred guitarist that started playing in 1986, I know there’s a lot of pride and ego with being able to play your instrument well. So it’s very weird to (in a bad way) to me to see “official live video” of a bunch of different J-rock/metal bands where the only thing live is the visuals. Western metal bands did “concert videos” for MTV all the time like that back in the day, but the difference was they weren’t attempting to deceive the viewers into believing they were actually watching live concert footage.
You are not wrong about the production, their label took a lot of money and hired the cheapest concert staff, low quality. The guitarist's guitar was damaged before the concert, and the roadies were rude to her. They wrote a letter of apology to the fans and went on strike. Too bad, they are very young and could grow up.
Don’t the venues provide the staff? That’s how it usually works. Roadies (the people that unload the band’s equipment and setup the stage) are hired by the band’s management, but all the onsite logistics and such are usually handled by the venue staff. Bands usually have individual instrument techs as well (guitar tech, drum tech, etc.) responsible for handling the setup and tuning and such. From what you’re saying it sounds like they didn’t actually have professional techs, just glorified furniture movers lugging stuff around.

I didn't know this band before watching this reaction but they certainly got a new fan in me.

Yes, my favorite thing about this band is the clean vocalist. She has a great voice.
@@2abug By the way, she can also scream
STMLT ❤❤
Yep, playlist for sure...great great song
This band is a big surprise for me. I discovered them today. Thanks TH-cam algorithm!
They're really good Live. I just want more from Kanachi, she should have multiple mentors on screaming. She really can be very good screamer one day.

I loved this band and the clean vocals were very impressive.
This band and Nek! are 2 of my favorite newer bands coming out of Japan right now.
And Mellows too.
This group is currently on hiatus, they have a conflict with the label, they were treated badly

To be fair, many bands around the world do this, not just Japanese ones. And many perform mime to a recording

@@Wyl7 I'm talking about technicians, sound engineers and management.
