YIKES! My first listen to them. Right away I was like, HOLY SHIT! THAT'S NARUMI! I knew it was going to be good and I was right. A Pantera-ish main riff and an anisong chorus. I'm listening ladies...I'm listening. Narumi is going to open you GGs up to Destrose and Disqualia. She also did fill in for Aldious when Toki was on materity leave (including NAMM in LA).
Lonesome_Blue is a hybrid girls' rock band formed as a band closely related to LOVEBITES. "Lonesome_Blue" is a hybrid girl rock band that produces heavy rock music with Steve Jacobs, Asami (LOVEBITES), and Mao (Mao Yamamoto), who are associated with LOVEBITES, as composers and lyricists. Mao, who is in charge of production and does contemporary metal, is in charge of all the music. So, although the genres are different, there is somewhat of a LOVEBITES feel to the music. The guitar solo is long and fast. The playing speed is fast. The longest song is over 6 minutes long. Narumi (Gt) is the same generation as Miyako and Midori. Narumi was a bandmate of Haruna and Miho in DESTROSE in the past. 2012-2014 (7th-8th period) belongs to DESTROSE.
Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base is a candidate for song of the year and sounds like progressive disco rock mixed with Abba. Their ep is varied and really great, and the new song Face the Fear is extremely well done hard rock. Best new band, can't wait for the album.
Narumi was in Destrose (with Miho and Haruna from Lovebites) and Disqualia (with Hazuki) and supported Aldious when Toki was on maternity leave. She’s an OG.
Finally they (the band) have done it the right way. Hope Narumi will show less restraint in her solos, like she did in her EP. After all that happened in the past she deserves the spotlight.
YT recommended Lonesome_Blue a couple of months back with Beginning of the End and I loved them from there. So glad you guys are bringing attention to these not so big bands Keep it up!!
Gauldernit! Female Japanese bands do it again! We can't beat them so we might as well enjoy it. This is very good. Foot tapping fun. Lonesome Blue will become another favorite. Isn't Asami working with them on lyrics, too? Bookmarked their website and subbed to their TH-cam. Face the Fear is a completely different style but on the album they will fit together. Heard Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base already and it is awesome. There is a bit of disco, 80's synth rock, power pop, dance. Yeah. Love the clapping. EP First Utterance 1. Beginning of the End 2. Parallel World (feat. Ayasa) 3. Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base 4. Labyrinth 5. Total Eclipse Favorite scale Harmonic minor? One of my favorite covers was Saxon covering Christopher Cross Ride Like The Wind.
I follow the band since their start (because of Narumi) but I had not paid that much attention to Yuuki untill now ... big mistake, she's one hell of a bassplayer, listen to her lines all along Face The Fear (and her great groove on "Welcome ...").
What a difference a year makes. The first song was from their EP 2022, Face the Fear is from the CD album 2023. The Band-Maid Genre is spreading. Sounds just like a Kanami composition.
I think there are a # of reasons our faves - such as Band-Maid, Nemophila, Lovebites, Gacha Spin, ... are always working to get even better and better and better. I think one additional reason is artists like Lonesome_Blue and Saiseiga keep popping up and nipping at their heels!
Yes! And Japan seems to have this pool of amazing musical talent, like Narumi, ReNo, etc. that join, leave, reform new groups and reinvent themselves constantly.
The first record I bought was ABBA/ Dancing Queen, but I was surrounded by rock lover classmates that brought me to rock in elementary school. Murasaki and Condition Green was a well known in the 70's Okinawa rock scene and my freind went to the "Banana Show" in Koza which is kids entering to the adult world😂
What this music reminds? Old and modern at the same time? Well Lovebites of course... You know that the main composer of this band is Mao, who has composed songs for Lovebites? Lovebites vocalist Asami has also done lyrics to some of their songs.
OK... Mate...What's going on in Japan???? Wow how many talented women have.... After Band Maid, Lovebites, Yuki D Driver and now three more phenoms, let's see what they will do in the future, but they are promising... MADIAC FOR EVER
Like this better than all the songs on their first EP. Hope we'll get more of things like that in the album. My favorite new release of the year still is Adabana by Nemophila but this is definitely somewhere near the top 👍
They are definitely great, composition wise I prefer this band to most Lovebites stuff I listened to in the past. It still has that symphonic power metal element that I'm not into, which has nothing to do with their musicianship. Putting that aside I'd say it's exciting to see more fresh talents coming out of Japan.
Heavenly secret base gives me the vibes from when I went to the roller rinks (4 wheeled roller sates) I have their EP First Utterance and it’s really good witch is not a surprise considering the connections with LOVEBITES behind the scenes
Which band next year will be take top ? BAND-MAID 、Lovebites , Nemophila , Unlucky Morpheus ＆ Lonesome＿Blue ・・・ My favorite Five-way big Japanese bands start battle now ！！ I like Lonesome_Blue and Narumi,！！Narumi！！,Narumi (ロンサムブルー 特に成美さん押し）！！
Narumi is the hawtest guitarist on the planet and 2nd best in Japan behind Hal-Ca, IMHO. I think her talented bandmates here compliment her style very well. Though I wish they were a little more "metal" This song (Face the Fear) is better in that regard than the songs I previously listened to. I love the singer's voice. Bass and drums are solid too.
The album is incredible, every single song!!! Would love to see you guys do a reaction to the entire album!!! One of the best debut albums I have ever heard! Side note: Face the Fear is great but not the best song on the album IMO! You'll see...🤘🤘🤘
Yuuki Hirose (B) has more Twitter followers than LOVEBITES on her own. Let that sink in. 😜 Anyway, yeah I like them better than LOVEBITES too, and I REALLY like LOVEBITES. Narumi wasn’t going to put herself out there with just anyone though, so I knew they would be “something”. It’s amusing that she’s usually the best looking member of any band she’s in… And then we have Yuuki too! lol And yeah, then they play as well as LOVEBITES and seem to be having more fun. I’m glad you guys like Lonesome_Blue, I thought I was in a tiny minority of people that appreciate them and it was just a few eccentric old J-Metal lovers, but no! There’s some middle aged ones too. 😜
I stopped listening to new American music because of the over-reliance on synth. I had hoped for lonesome blue, but not really going to really love a Japanese sound that relies heavily on synth (if that is the direction they are going to go). That being said, it is catchy and really good musicianship backing the synth. That is my problem with this I guess, I don't mind a little synth backing great instrumentation, but this is more instrumentation backing up the synth. They seem to be getting more synth heavy, but will keep an eye on them and see how they progress. Great reactions guys and chat with you soon!
You guys need to react to "Battle Against Justice" from Fate Gear!! 🙀💕They remind me of a throwback to DragonForce & Iron Maiden. Yet in a totally different wholly s***, this is epic Japanese sort of way!! I don't want to find an exit to this Foxhole now lol. Another great reaction, BTW!! 🤘🦊💕
Love the mix of harsh and clean vocals on that one! And the lyrics are a lot of fun. Finally someone does a decent song about a steampunk airship naval boarding action.
They tricked me. It started feeling very maidish but they triggered to metal before it started to get boring. And then Narumi and her solo. I am going to simp her and I don't even pretend to be reasonable. What a woman dude. What a woman.
I was about to barf at the pseudo-disco garbage with the orchistral punches and electric rhythm pulses ..... but then "Face the Fear" blew the walls down. Good grief! Rock is not dead.... it's just living and growing in the land of the rising sun ... thank god. Out-fricking-standing. The future is secure with talent like theirs.
If you haven’t already started on the Japanese female bands here’s a short list: Nemophila, Bridear, Gacharic Spin, Lovebites, Lonsome Blue, Hagane, Hanabie, Band Maid . Enjoy the ride!
@@Hadesillo Nano Hatori is no longer involved with Asami and Lovebites. Asami is now working with a Japanese American singer/songwriter named Ayako Kawai who moved to Tokyo sometime pre-pandemic. Asami and Ayako Kawai wrote the lyrics for all songs on Lonesome Blue's EP and Ayako Kawai wrote the lyrics on three songs in the upcoming full album. Fun fact - Ayako Kawai is one of the three angels that sing at the end of Glory to the World.
The first song sounds like a Japanese female version of the Trans Siberian Orchestra or Europe (...."It's the final countdown! ) The second song has a total Symphony X vibe to it . Either way... nothing new here... just recycled 80's and 90's sound. I've got high hopes for the girls of Accent (Remember the little girls who covered Band Maid's Don't You Tell Me? ) They're growing up and doing their own music now.... th-cam.com/video/oSLP4xGgsuY/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/tR44V-z_bXY/w-d-xo.html
The difference between the the two songs was jaw dropping. I really couldn't get into their previous songs. Just too Jpop and not up to the current standards set by Band Maid. Face the Fear sounds as if Love Bites sat these girls down and had a heart to heart 'stop that B/S' you're making us (Jrock/metal) look bad. I like that they kept their Jrock/pop lighter sound, combined with gritter, harder rock sound, especially highlighting their instrumental skills. Night and day difference in the sound and feel of the two songs, hence the jaw drop. If 'Face the Fear' is the direction they are going, absolutely, I'm on for the ride!
Knew it sounds familiar taylor smith averil levine lisa loeb. Can't fellas the sound is the same effect as growl metal. Mayu can get away with it because she can actually sing. Can't win em all.
Maids are the yardstick for me...most things coming up short in comparison. I liked the vocal...went to see if any live videos but nada on their channel.
@@philproffitt8363 yeah same here for me mate , personally I don't think any of the other Japanese bands are on Band maids level right now. I'm yet to see any live videos of this band myself, I'll have to check them out.
Lonesome Blue the universal japanese rock formula; 4 or 5 gorgeous schoolgirls with minimal acceptable talent usually wiih super bass and drums; here vocals and lyrics are generic;Not memorable or inspirational. light years from our usual girl bands(Nemo,BM;Bites or Trident)It ain't bad but lacks the essentials.of non formula rock.
@@not-so-great-oldone9780 well if she is known for her clear operatic vocals then what happen here LOVEBITES - Raise some Hell (Five of a Kind, 21/02/2020). and that just one there a lot more.. make sure to turn on subtitles
Asami knows she needs work on her accent in singing English lyrics which is why she is now working with Ayako Kawai, a Japanese American now living in Tokyo who specializes in helping Japanese singers with English lyrics (she also now assists Asami in writing English lyrics). Asami's issue is accent and pronunciation, not mumbling. Your comment is just snarky nonsense.

I'm listening ladies...I'm listening. Narumi is going to open you GGs up to Destrose and Disqualia. She also did fill in for Aldious when Toki was on materity leave (including NAMM in LA).
Another band of elite Japanese female musicians destined to top the charts. It's a legit phenomenon. 🤘😁🤘
Two Anime voice actors and a
guitarist from DESTROSE :)
@@muto4055 Awesome to see how far they all have come 🤘😄🤘
So,So Good.
As an huge Band-Maid and TRiDENT fan... PERFECT FIT OF MY TASTE! Love it!
Lonesome_Blue is a hybrid girls' rock band formed as a band closely related to LOVEBITES.
"Lonesome_Blue" is a hybrid girl rock band that produces heavy rock music with Steve Jacobs, Asami (LOVEBITES), and Mao (Mao Yamamoto), who are associated with LOVEBITES, as composers and lyricists.
Mao, who is in charge of production and does contemporary metal, is in charge of all the music. So, although the genres are different, there is somewhat of a LOVEBITES feel to the music.
The guitar solo is long and fast.
The playing speed is fast.
The longest song is over 6 minutes long.
Narumi (Gt) is the same generation as Miyako and Midori.
Narumi was a bandmate of Haruna and Miho in DESTROSE in the past. 2012-2014 (7th-8th period) belongs to DESTROSE.
Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base is a candidate for song of the year and sounds like progressive disco rock mixed with Abba. Their ep is varied and really great, and the new song Face the Fear is extremely well done hard rock. Best new band, can't wait for the album.
Great Band.
Narumi was in Destrose (with Miho and Haruna from Lovebites) and Disqualia (with Hazuki) and supported Aldious when Toki was on maternity leave. She’s an OG.
Finally they (the band) have done it the right way. Hope Narumi will show less restraint in her solos, like she did in her EP. After all that happened in the past she deserves the spotlight.
Agreed, I have long been rooting for her to break out and be the star she deserves to be.
YT recommended Lonesome_Blue a couple of months back with Beginning of the End and I loved them from there.
So glad you guys are bringing attention to these not so big bands
Keep it up!!
Gauldernit! Female Japanese bands do it again!
We can't beat them so we might as well enjoy it. This is very good. Foot tapping fun. Lonesome Blue will become another favorite. Isn't Asami working with them on lyrics, too?
Bookmarked their website and subbed to their TH-cam.
Face the Fear is a completely different style but on the album they will fit together.
Heard Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base already and it is awesome.
There is a bit of disco, 80's synth rock, power pop, dance. Yeah. Love the clapping.
EP First Utterance
1. Beginning of the End
2. Parallel World (feat. Ayasa)
3. Welcome to Heavenly Secret Base
4. Labyrinth
5. Total Eclipse
Favorite scale Harmonic minor?
One of my favorite covers was Saxon covering Christopher Cross Ride Like The Wind.
Lovebites World Tour, with Lonesome_Blue as support. Make it happen, JPU!!! 🤘 🔥
Dream show! 🤩🤩🤘🐺🤘
Yes please 🙏
Another amazing Japanese band, awesome.
I follow the band since their start (because of Narumi) but I had not paid that much attention to Yuuki untill now ... big mistake, she's one hell of a bassplayer, listen to her lines all along Face The Fear (and her great groove on "Welcome ...").
New song is so exciting, especially I like her Bass lines🔥and Sound mixing is so good that we can hear every instrument clearly🎵
Narumi will also be filling the guitarist spot with Down Dope Squad in 2023 since Saki won't be able to because of Nemophila's tour.
I agree if people say this is one of the best song in 2022 or J-Rock scene ever or even all the time! Choose what you want
What a difference a year makes. The first song was from their EP 2022, Face the Fear is from the CD album 2023. The Band-Maid Genre is spreading. Sounds just like a Kanami composition.
Lonesome Blue kicks some ass.
You guys have to check out the EP from Narumi called The Seed....it is phenominal!
All these Japanese girl bands can be described as fearless ... and they are also rocking metal hard .. real hard ...
I think there are a # of reasons our faves - such as Band-Maid, Nemophila, Lovebites, Gacha Spin, ... are always working to get even better and better and better. I think one additional reason is artists like Lonesome_Blue and Saiseiga keep popping up and nipping at their heels!
Yes! And Japan seems to have this pool of amazing musical talent, like Narumi, ReNo, etc. that join, leave, reform new groups and reinvent themselves constantly.
What the hell is Japan putting in the water, because my lord Japan has some talented musicians.
MIZUKI love 🥰 Her 10th anniversary concert earlier this year was awesome, so many different styles of music played.
The first record I bought was ABBA/ Dancing Queen, but I was surrounded by rock lover classmates that brought me to rock in elementary school. Murasaki and Condition Green was a well known in the 70's Okinawa rock scene and my freind went to the "Banana Show" in Koza which is kids entering to the adult world😂
Two song in (I watched Face the Fear first) and I am HOOKED! I'm with Alan, need to see them live!
What this music reminds? Old and modern at the same time? Well Lovebites of course... You know that the main composer of this band is Mao, who has composed songs for Lovebites? Lovebites vocalist Asami has also done lyrics to some of their songs.
OK... Mate...What's going on in Japan???? Wow how many talented women have.... After Band Maid, Lovebites, Yuki D Driver and now three more phenoms, let's see what they will do in the future, but they are promising... MADIAC FOR EVER
The vocalist and bassist are voice actors and there is a collaboration video like this. th-cam.com/video/5xpkgLsKrWE/w-d-xo.html
Wow... '80s vibe all the way. Good stuff.
And yes, they look beautiful too!
Of course they are all gorgeous!!

Sister band of LOVEBITES❤

Alan and Wave doing their best to be like Champ right now. 😆
Bee Gees. Do "How Deep is Your Love?"

Face the Fear = LisaX Band X Trident
"Second to None" is the Best Metal Album of the Year 2022 to me🔥Every song is brilliant. and I prefer Face the Fear to Judgment ***🚀lol☺
I'm hopping on this train early...
Right?! This is legit talent.
Not to put their sound or composition down at all, but... someone's been taking cues from Band-Maid... bigtime!
Disco draw ...ummm creating a market in KPop region 147K views ... reeling them in :) Before ... BAM!

sounds a bit like europop from the eighties

Sound very 90's Anime op style. Well it could be just me. 😅... love it anyway.
