Thanks for the supply of laughs while enjoying my bowl of Saturday morning coffee. The coffee is almost redundant after the song and the reaction. Keep 'em coming!
I’ve got to give an honest opinion. Linkin Park is, or was one of my favorite bands and Given up is my favorite song by them. It’s easy to talk about the top tier musicians playing a cover. However, what I excites me is Mayu’s ability to mimic Chester! That is not an easy task! Some viewers switch videos when they hear Mayu scream, because they are not a fan of screaming. OK, no problem. Unfortunately, they are missing one of the greatest vocalists in the world with her cleans, and ability to switch up without loosing a note. All hail Mayu!!! 👍👍👍👍. ❤️🌸
Tbh we're not on the same page. I didn't think she sounded anything like Chester, and a lot like herself. But she made that work in the song and held all the notes to their full extent. /Andrei
A new dimension to playing the keys 👏. How awesome to think of it to bring the clapping and keying live. Also, the extra punch in the outro was beautiful. I got to give it to the Chester though for the vocals. And kudos to the video edit. The 17 second wow-meter was fun.
That's the jackpot question. How do you stay true and respectful to an original that is so huge and iconic, and still be able to put your own style on it? Many fail at this task and can take Nemophila as an example (not only for this song, but for many of their covers). For me, one of the best LP covers and a wonderful tribute to someone who will forever remain unmatched and is sorely missed. 🙏🏻✨ _____________________ _"You think I'm laughing because I'm happy?

@@thewindmillfullovcorpses I can only recommend the song/MV from which this line comes! Also highly talented ladies from Japan who describe themselves as an entertainment band who are highly versatile, so you never know what to expect.
MAYBE your ready for Nemo's best cover X JAPAN - KURENAI. Singer (Mayu) cant speak English but sings this (Japanese written/sung song) in English like a champ!! Before she joined Nemophila drummer (Tamu) drummed this song solo in front of Kurenai composer (Yoshiki) who is also X-Japan's drummer and blew him away!
It's the only Nemophila cover we see requested quite repeatedly. We've been very focused on their own songs but we'll try to keep this one in mind. /Andrei
Actually, it was Nemophila that lead me to Linkin Park. I was never into them when they were huge. Now I fully appreciate how good they were and listen to them quite regularly. Great reaction again guys. Brought the funny again. Thought Mayu did a great job on vocals considering she doesn't speak English. And she nailed the scream in her own inimitable Mayu way
Yoooo I'm really happy to know Nemophila got you into Linkin Park! It's great when a band keeps gaining fans even after their glory days are past! /Andrei
Their covers of Japanese songs are more rewarding, and they offer an introduction to many other great bands. Favorites include: ONE NIGHT CARNIVAL (KISHIDEN) - th-cam.com/video/S4Eu59fIysM/w-d-xo.html ) - DON’T SAY LAZY (K-ON) - th-cam.com/video/EqSWOLsSj7Q/w-d-xo.html GOLDEN GRAFFTY (ROTTENGRAFFTY), where MAYU does the work of two vocalists - th-cam.com/video/xNipNp4UkVY/w-d-xo.html For a real shock, MAKE YOU HAPPY (NIZIU) - th-cam.com/video/pbl1KEPgWvk/w-d-xo.html
Hey guys give megitsune by baby metal a try. Saw them live when they were the support act to sabaton and I was very impressed for a Japanese metal band.
Baby Metal is a theatre show. IMO to qualify as a BAND especially METAL you play your own instruments not sing & dance aka pop/rap to a (background) touring band
@@_Aussie_ damn to bad vocalist don’t count as band members, sorry Bruce, Halford, Dio etc… Lame ass band vs show. Is the music and vocals what you enjoy or not. Rest is Symantec bullshit.
Linkin Park... Would you know a turkish band called maNga? I like them and was told they sounded like Linkin Park in several ways. If not, I suggest you this song (search the exact caracter string): maNga - Beni Benimle Birak
Naaaah, nobody can touch the original! It's impressive enough that they did it justice, but it can never be the same feel! Linkin Park are like Queen of the 21st century. Inimitable! / George
Nemophila having fun, as always. Mayu can sing Anything and put her own spin on it !

Very few compliments are better than being a desirable substitute to caffeine! You my friend, just made my day! /Andrei

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah Chester is unmatched. But Mayu slayed the song! And I'm glad you like the edits. /Andrei
Just love your guys reactions, especially to Nemo.
Thank you very much! /Andrei

Not to forget Shimi by MTH
The 2 MTH songs, Kurenai and Crazy Doctor are all must sees.

Mayu totally deserves a "17" t-shirt.
MAYU IS FANTASTIC

I didn't know there was Turkish Park. This should be intereted. /Andrei
This was not bad. But no one will do it better than Linkin Park imo. No one lol I love my Linkin Park. Impressive she made the long scream though haha
