Their creativity isn't limited to the music. Those outfits are "special."
Tomo Zo... What can i say... She's versatile... She can play anything..love her guitar work... underated yes.. but let's spread the good news....she deserves the highlight ..
TOMO-ZO is always in the top five guitarist ranked in the Japanese Rock Magazines. Now her and SAKI are my favorite guitarist period with many others close behind Kanami, Midori, Miyako, HAZUK, Mina Taicho (Captain Mina) TOKI, Yoshi, MISAKI, AYUMI, as well as the newest ladies LI-SA-X and HAL-CAL. If you check out the NAONのYAON shows over the years TOMO-ZO and SAKI have rocked the show. TOMO-ZO has the most contagious smile I've ever seen, and such a get attuite to go with it. But look at the following Gaharic Spin has they have been years making. Funk, Punk, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal they can do it all. Like I say we have allot great music ahead of us. The Japanese Invasion has begun!!! Thanks, Ryan for the outstanding reaction as always.
I went on a Tomo binge recently and was blown away! I was just talking to my dad about Tomo, and how underrated she is, and the fact she also shreds on a PRS with just unique sound to it. She is pretty amazing! I cant watch to much of this I have this video on the list!!!!!!!!!
She didn't start guitar lessons until 14, I think, but by 18 she was already a gunslinger with Eu-Phoria (Oreo's first band) - th-cam.com/video/NHMuEvCgUw8/w-d-xo.html
Japan just has so many great female guitarists it's hard to pick a top 3 lmao.
Damn!
can't find it right now, but there's a pic of TomoZo playing guitar on TV at age 16, backing a boy band. many famous female japanese guitarists started out of High School (Midori, Miyako, Narumi), but I hadn't heard TomoZo started late. All i do remember tho is that she was inspired by the band Judy & Mary...
@@timgove5337 I've seen a short clip of her performance at 16 - I seem to remember she was way off to the left side, in back, and only visible for a second or two. Didn't save the link, though. Found an interview that said she started playing in elementary school. The part about starting lessons at 14 was from a recent interview I read - she decided to get serious and started commuting by train to some sort of school.
This reaffirms what I always thought, that Tomo-Zo is such an underrated guitarist. This is just a pure rock solo performance. Her playing often gets buried in the pop melodies that Gacharic Spin play and as you said they are all so talented and like Band-Maid, there are no egos. Fantastic. Thanks Ryan!
We got two female guitar heros from Japan. Both are incredibly talented, super creative, humble, sweet, having fun when they're playing, and using PRS👍
And both girls known as well-brought girls(over30).
Just two? There are plenty more.
When you mention using PRS, I guess that will Kanamincho
Great reaction, thanks for this. Tomo-Zo is such a fantastic, interesting, inspiring - and often overlooked - guitar player. She’s right beside Kanami one of my guitar inspirations. And like Kanami a very humble and gentle person, always serve the song instead of the ego. Gacharic Spin was the first japanese all female bands I discovered back in 2012 - thanks to my wife - and I was mesmerized by Tomo-Zo right from the beginning.
I honest to God think Tomo Zo is THE MOST versatile guitar player I've ever heard. She can play anything she wants to play, seemingly limitlessly - and her phrasing is so f-ing Unique. And that Constant SMILE!! And Oreo is SO underrated on the keys. You don't need a solo from Koga, because every minute of every Gacharic Spin song is basically a Koga solo. And check out those scoop shaped drums Hana is playing. Thanks for this, Ryan 🙂
Love TOMO-ZO! She may be small in stature, but she's a giant of a guitarist.
This is getting stressful.
So many great bands but not enough lifetimes to properly listen to them all.
Talking about Hana just sitting back and not doing much in this song something a lot of people in the west could learn from, especially in the music industry. Save a few exceptions it seems like everyone in all these amazing bands from Japan are all in it for the right reasons and there is no ego involved at all.
A mountain of talent, hard work and limitless self-confidence. All these Japanese bands are an example of how to take music really seriously while having fun in the process.
Its as if Spirit Halloween Store and Guitar Center got in a car wreck. LOL.
I get some Eric Johnson vibes from her during this song.... but yeah Tomo Zo is so fun to watch from both a performance perspective as well from a purely technical perspective as well.
I want Oreo to be my spirit animal but I don't have the DGAF levels she does. :)
I’ve watched this instrumental soooo many times! It’s been a while though so it was fun to see it again and to see you enjoy it so much too.
Man, I haven't had a Mountain Dew in FOREVER! More of a Dr. Pepper man, myself.
TOMO-ZO is legitimately underrated. I hear people say "so-and-so" is underrated all the time, but that's not usually the case. TOMO-ZO truly is. She just wanders around the stage with a big grin, ripping on that guitar. It doesn't even look like she's trying. She makes it look effortless, unlike a lot of guitarist I've seen. No stankface for T-Z, it's just smiles for days.
I funny have the Dew very often either LOL, and yes... she is underrated!
Just back from their concert at Toyosu PIT in Tokyo tonight (July 2nd, Tokyo time.) It was more of a variety show than just a live performance. Was memorable, to sum it up.
So jealous!
I gather the variety show is what they've always been going for, Great that you got to see it live!
This is when Hana still play as a drummer for the band. I love this Gacharic Spin lineup
Thanks for posting this one Ryan, she is indeed amazing !
I keep telling people, this band is incredible! They do create some of the weirdest music I can think of, and that scare some people off, but nevertheless, Gachapin is absolutely killer!
One of the more remarkable things about this performance is that it happened during the second of two concerts the girls did that day. At 2pm they got dressed up in all black and played a 2+ hour set as Doll$Boxx (immortalized in all the concert slips floating around), then returned at 7pm to perform a 3 hour set as Gacharic Spin. Both sets were recorded for Blu-Ray. Here's the promo video - th-cam.com/video/sJP2mcaz9_I/w-d-xo.html
Holy crap... wow
@@RyanMear I would literally travel anywhere in the world to see a repeat of this!...
It hadn't been recorded on Blu-ray, only on DVD unfortunately. Otherwise, I would have bought it
@@2abug Yeah unfortunately the back-catalogue is generally pretty expensive but I'm gradually going to accumulate it all...
There are 4 live songs from the Dollsbox concert on TH-cam and Tomo Zo played some of the most incredible, haunting, rock riffs that I have ever heard. And of course the image contrast was at each end of the spectrum. The Garcharic Spin ladies were dressed in black for the Dollsbox concert and then we have these the colorful, whimsical costumes they used for their 2nd concert. These women are amazing.
Awesome - thanks Ryan! Great to see you looking as happy as Tomo-Zo whilst watching this 😁 Perhaps a challenge for you on the new PRS?!?
the entire band (and I love Yuri the new drummer even more than Hana) is so talented. but for me F.Chopper Koga is THE most talented in the band, yet she never tries to be front and center, she supports EVERYONE else and lets them all shine. but She is hands down one of the best bassists out there IMO. and I would love to see her more center stage, she has a vibrant personality, amazing speed and power on the bass in all different styles from slap to finger picking, etc. she's fantastic and frenetic. but she also has a great voice and a smile that will just melt my heart every time. so as much as I am really happy to see Tomo Zo dancing around and showing off, I need a track like this for Koga some day that puts her out in front for an entire song and let's her shine to the level I know she can.
Was wondering when you mosey around to this video, glad you did :)
This is "ニコリン星の通勤ラッシュ (Nicorin-sei no Tsuukin Rush", literally, "Nicorin Planet's Commuting Rush".
BTW, the studio version is also available (their official channel "Gacharic Spin 公式【ガチャっとTV】") (unless it is something like regional restriction): th-cam.com/video/KOP3f5uotSs/w-d-xo.html
My first time hearing this! Fing awesome! Can't believe I missed it. I think the Japanese work ethic and the ability to work together is what makes a lot of their bands so good.
She entered high school in Tokyo, far from parents' home, to become a professional guitaanrist, and when she was in high school, she passed an audition and started her professional career.
Wow....I wish those were options here.
Is that the same high school KOGA, Hana and Hideki went to?
@@LesDexia13 don't think so, think we would've heard that. plus, TomoZo is 2years younger...
Thank you Ryan for finally reacting to this awesome song.
Tomo-Zo is indeed a great guitarist, she is my favorite with Kanami. Her playing invites you to pick up a guitar and her constant smile improves your mood. She's one of a kind!
But they are all amazing and I constantly change my favorite band members. These days it's Hana and Oreo but when I first heard about them, it was Koga and Tomo-Zo.
And thank you Home Gnome (can you suggest other DOLL$BOXX songs to Ryan? 😛)
Hey 2abug - yeah I was first drawn in by Koga but every member brings so much. I assume Loud Twin Stars would be your choice??
@@homegnome2429 Hey Home Gnome!
Yes, “Loud Twin Stars” or “Merrily High Go Round” (live of course) would be awesome 😉
LOL, it would probably be a review because I've listened to Doll$box quite a bit! I had a Shoutdown live video done, but lost it!
TOMOZO is my favorite in Gachapin.🥰
god damn. This is a fun song. Manages to showcase drums, bass, keyboards and guitar in a super funky way. Tomo-zo is very smooth and you don't realize she is shredding her ass off and is probably the happiest guitarist (ever?)
Thank you this instrumental @GacharicSpin and @RyanMear
As someone who appreciates heavier music, you can't check out Gacharic Spin without checking out their early years, where they were much closer to a punk rock band than the glamour we see today. For your own viewing pleasure, find "Gacharic Spin - 1st Anniversary LIVE~衝撃!笑撃?SHOW劇~ 完全版" on TH-cam, jump to about 9:30 and watch the next three songs. You'll have a whole new appreciation for them. That is Gacharic Spin as a real rock band. I still consider those early songs amongst the best they've done.... and it does not hurt that Armmy is pretty dang easy on the eyes. Too bad for her passing. In something straight out of "Eddie and the Cruisers", what she was working on when she died was sounding very promising. She was making a move towards much heavier music. Search for "HungryButterflyDemo" on TH-cam to hear a piece of it. Possibly as close to something "Babymetal" as anything we've heard to this point.
Ryan! Greetings from another hot day! I will need gallons of beer today!
It seems that Gacharic Spin is fast becoming a member of the top 3 Japanese rock bands with Band Maid and Asterism!
Why do I have the impression it is only the start of a whole era dominated by Japanese bands. like the aforementioned two they should be soon bound for US tour! They certainly do not lack humor! After all, music in Japan is mainly for fun!
Will you survive the year with all these bands still to discover? LOL
Best regards,
Robert-Gilles
I will do my best to survive all the awesomeness!
@@RyanMear If you don't you will go to rock heavens! LOL
Tomo comes at her music from much more of jazz basis than a lot of the metal based ladies out there but obviously a part of some kicking rock music…
Honestly I didn't have listend to "Gacharic spin" ever positively. I didn't know what they wanted to do truely. But they have high level tecnical playing, I know. Even they using it , had couldn't catch my heart ever. I had not felt their own color like what "Bandmaid" having. But I'm really feeling "this song is awesome!". I'm feeling purely this song's better.
私はそれを理解しています、私がもっと好きな最近のもの
So cool, great react again. I waited for this one for a while... 😀
As soon as I discovered her in Doll$Boxx a while ago, Tomo-Zo quickly became my favorite guitarist. She is like a studio musician who can play everything she wants in multiple musical genres. I would like to listen to her in some acoustic pieces, I am pretty sure this would be phenomenal. On this track, I love the way she moves on stage, love her constant smile and joy, so infectious, and her playing is just brilliant and always on point. Her solo section (from 2:50) reminds me a lot some Gary Moore vibes. So cool. And finally, needless to say thar Hana, Koga and Oreo (so funny the Hamburger outfit), are insanely good, and bring everything to let Tomo-Zo shines on stage. Truly impressive.
Edit: I also would like to have an isolated camera on Hana for this track, because she truly produces an insane work on the drums. 🔥🤘
Yes another band that it requires a listen for each member!
You finally found it !!!!!!!!!!!!
This group is even more amazing than viewers might think. They have been through some hard times. Their wonderful first lead vocalist passed away years ago. Some how the girls got through the tragedy and kept going. Their 1st Anniversary gig was held in an underground venue called Tokyo Morph. I know this because I've been there, and seen some fantastic groups perform. The 1st Anniversary gig features Hanna playing the piano (omg, and thing she is good at) .
th-cam.com/video/OhCJ9cVx-cM/w-d-xo.html
Yes that's a beautiful song and a totally different side of Hana.
What a beautiful performance! Thanks for the link. I didn't know it.
@@JuanSan66 Hana also played guitar in a 2014 music video - th-cam.com/video/G_t2CEc9Qjk/w-d-xo.html
@@LesDexia13 Thanks!
the 2014 song "僕だけのシンデレラ", Boku dake no (kawaii) Cinderella (my very own Cinderella, sung in a creepy way if i understand correctly, and see the link above for the curious MV with Hana in full baddass Paisley Princely Pirate ragalia, being courted by (bride and female groom?), was also played live with Hana out front actually. They often used drum tracks at that time to get Hana out front with her Gretsch, and the dvd infamously left in the version when the guitar tech handed it to her in COMPLetely wrong tuning, stopped the song, people crying, then went thru with it. Then, they got (quoting Koga) "guest player, TSP's Hina, sexy!". Drummer Hina cofounded Tribal Scream of Pheonix with XJapan's original bassist Taiji, not a bad resume builder... so here is ... Cinderella live th-cam.com/video/cc84y6jSS1k/w-d-xo.html
Gotta love to see her play side by side with Synyster gates
Yeah, Tomo-zo is really good. Love her playing.
Yeah man, Tomo Zo is no joke.
I need to be in my "OK, time to concentrate on the music and do nothing else" mode to listen to Gacharic Spin.. But when I am, they're pretty up there with the highs they give me.
Definitely NOT background music!
They look like Band-Maid and Cluppo spawned some mutant offspring. LOL
Seriously though, Tomo Zo is an outstanding guitarist.Her energy and enthusiasm are really fun to watch.
i keep reminding people, Doll$Boxx was after GS was 3years in, and DB video Take My Chance had the whole (pink) maid outfit vs hard rock gap thing Down! BandMaid was formed (only) 6months later, hmmm ! ;)
@@timgove5337 Also KOGA and Hana were in a sideproject band called Heian (while they were in Panda/Armeria) and at least on the cover of their final performance DVD (released 2006) all the band members wore pink maid outfits - KOGA wore her exact same outfit in the TMC video. Not sure what the Heian act was but I remember something about it being an idol spoof. The one year they were active (2005) they were opening act for Pink Panda quite a few times.
This song is fantastic. Straight out of the Dixie Dregs playbook. Elements remind me of Bloodsucking Leeches.
'Nicorin-sei no Tsuukin Rush' has more in common with 70s jam & fusion bands, from the finger twisting unison motifs/harmony lines played on all three melodic instruments, playful use of syncopation and the mono synth type sound used by Oreo for her solo. There's not a great deal of improvisation in Tomo-zo's playing on a track like this, she very much takes the compositional approach for her solos on recordings as well. This era is the first one that Angie witnessed as 15-16 yr old and turned her into a Pinko (female Gacharic Spin fan; as opposed to a Gachaman). I'm not sure if it counts as part of the Tomo-zo Fantasy Suite of compositions or not, with her not taking lead vocals.
This era of GS is very interesting musically at times, but between some of the more dance/electronic compositions that rely heavily on backing layers occasionally overpowering the live performances and the eccentric outfits (particularly of Tomo-zo & Oreo), I find it much easier to sell a new person on the current GS 5.0 lineup initially.
Plus you now have five members who can sing lead (plus Koga can now contribute some chorus harmonies, previously she could only manage hype vocals/shouts) and several multi instrumentalists (hana plays everything, yuri plays drums, guitar & keys, Tomo-zo plays guitar & keys) at a level where they can comfortably swap instruments at times (Hana first played guitar live for GS with Tamu Murata on drums when Tomo-zo was hospitalised (planting seeds for the current lineup when the last dancer Mai left/graduated) and yuri swapped with hana for certain songs at early 5.0 live shows playing 2nd guitar & lead vocals)
Wow... that's incredible
@@RyanMear The other thing that always amuses me about Tomo-zo is she's technically the biggest rock/metalhead in the band, before joining EU-Phoria she basically lived in jeans; the cutesy magical girl stage image was a conscious choice when joining GS (it later transitioned to 400k yr old space alien from Nicorin Planet, before become more toned down around GS 5.0) and her Metallic Spin persona, "Kawai Tomozo" is closest to how she used to actually dress.
@@guitarandy2406 Hana never played 僕だけのシンデレラ live?
Here's the music video from 2014 where she sang and played her Gretsch White Falcon - th-cam.com/video/G_t2CEc9Qjk/w-d-xo.html
@@LesDexia13 I meant more as in took on the role of guitarist for an entire set, prior to 2018 making the full switch from drums was never really considered. Also as graduating presents go, a Gretsch White Falcon must be one of the most awesome I've heard about.
repeating this link, live version of the Gretsch song "...Cinderella" th-cam.com/video/cc84y6jSS1k/w-d-xo.html
GS is incredible. Very talented and the most entertaining live
i first found tomo-zo in 2016 with the discovery of the first doll$boxx cd from 2013 and then tracked her back to g.s. she does not get the recognition that some of the others do but so much deserves it. her ice cream cone guitar has got to be one of the coolest things ever

Kara Ryan. Another great reaction. Unfortunately I often do not get your written comments. For me the disappear too quickly from the screen. Maybe you can make them to stay a bit longer (or write in Esperanto ;-)) ).
Um...paŭzo!
😁
Their music isn't exactly my cup of tea but dang, their live shows are a spectacle. Throw in their obviously stellar musicianship and you got yourself one heck of a band!
The version at the start of her instruction video is great: th-cam.com/video/btc_KPQRfQ8/w-d-xo.html
Tomo-zo does not waste any notes!
Am I crazy? I’m getting some Led Zeppelin vibes during some parts.
Hey Ryan, react to Rolling Quarts! It's a Korean all female rock band! Love your reactions!
