Saki, our Guitar Empress. She's not only one of the best technical guitarplayer in Japan, she's also one with the most "rock" spirit, her attack on the strings is always extremely wild, not at all the clean robotic touch of too many great technicians. And live she has an amazing stage presence . Mary's Blood was her "old" band but she's been involved in a new one for two years now, NEMOPHILA, and they're the most promising metal band in Japan.
Saki never disappoints on a solo, that young woman is an absolute monster. Eye has always been an interesting singer, she is one of those understated gems.
A major Rock/Metal band in Japan. Formed in 2009 out of Destrose. They have toured in the US. They are now on a hiatus. Saki, guitarist, is the main composer and is one Japan's top guitarist. Saki's main gig now is Nemophila who you really need to react too; suggestions "Monsters" and "Dissension". Saki also has a solo MV out "Brightness" you like guitar solos, you will love this one. The reason Japan has so many great bands and musicians is that the arts are still taught in their schools. Talent is recognized early and encouraged. Not unusual for learning a musical instrument to begin at 3 yo. Plus there are acting, dance and music schools for kids as young as 6 yo. If you react to a live MV of Mary's Blood, look for Yashiro who is the second guitar when they play concerts. Don't know where you are, but Band Maid and Nemophila have announced they will be performing at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, Ca in October. Band Maid is also touring in the US this year!!!
Not so much. Mary's Blood recently anounced their indefinite hiatus. The indefinite hiatus will begin after an April 9, 2022 concert at Toyosu Pit titled Mary's Blood The Final Day ~Countdown to Evolution~.
@@CaffeineNightOwl Its not out only Brightness, her album takes a back seat to Nemophila (she already said) there soon to be released new material, tours Zepp & Aftershock in UIS, will give them massive international exposure, If things go the way many people predict Nemophila will be the next big band from Japan. Saki's solo stuff could be waiting awhile.
I always love your passionate reactions. Saki is the guitar empress of J metal. In Mary's Blood, Saki maximizes her shredding to the next level on every song. In Nemophila, she shares spotlight with Hazuki and writes many experimental stuffs. She also has solo stuffs that are out of this world. I really think Saki/Hazuki and Miyako/Midori (Lovebite) will make this world better. Rock on 🤘 and peace ✌️.
Mary's Blood is currently on hiatus like Lovebites. The band has been rocking for over 12 years and live, they have Yashiro as a guest support guitarist, she has been asked multiple times to join but she is kinda busy, studio artist, solo artist and music teacher. Eye (vocal), Mari (drums) were in Destrose together (reminds you of someone else? Miho and Haruna 4 years later) Saki (guitar) joined in 2012 and was also a part timer in Destrose around 2010-11 and Rio (bass) joined in at the same time as Saki in March and were made officially members in Sept of that year. Anything live from them is awesome and if I had to choose 1, Wings might be my go to. There is a version out there with a guest vocal, Sho from Galneryus, another great singer from a 20 year old band who does power metal that includes the best guitarist in the world atm for me: Syu (pronounced Shoe)
@@buccanero Thanks, I started following Destrose around 2012ish, and with so many members going in and out, some info were harder to find in English back then
IMHO their best concert DVD is "Live At Blaze -Invasion Of Queen Tour 2015-2016 Final" I currently see only two posts of songs "Bloody Birth Day" & "Moebius Loop", from this on the Necro Phil channel. Both are excellent. Note: The name of the song isn't in the title, but can be found if hit "show more" in the post description. Unfortunately, "Promised Land" from the same concert is no longer posted. There are several reviews up. If anyone has a copy, I suggest sending it. Saki's guitar solo on that is worth a jumbo ear-gasm.
Agree she would dig Aldious. Each of their different singers have Excellent videos available on YT. The latest ones Live with Maki Oyama are Superb in Quality and Mix.
@@ricdale7813 yup. I really like Maki too. She has a fantastic voice. I was lucky enough to see Aldious live in Osaka (their hometown) with Reno still as the lead singer. They were ridiculously good. One of the best live shows I've ever seen.
Easy to answer your question. The US has defunded most of it's music programs in education, and rock and metal are not that popular in the US anymore. It's just not what the youth there are into. Put those two things together and you are not going to get a lot of anyone under a certain age playing instruments at that level. Japan by comparison still places a lot of emphasis on music education and most kids playing at least one musical instrument. Especially girls. And they still have the discipline and patience to master a musical instrument. Also, rock and metal still have a good underground scene in Japan.
The song is about ending a toxic relationship with a dominant partner: "I shall never be your marionette again", so, female emancipation (an often topic with Japanese all-female metal bands). The bass symbolizes the "male" side: Dominant, dark, monotonous but strong. The guitar the "female" side and the battle against each other.
Saki the guitarist is absolute legend. Also guitarist in Nemophila. Another great japanese band you should give a try is Hanabie - We love sweets Might suprise in some ways :)
Infinite Love -「Mary's Blood 10th Anniversary Box」: ruclips.net/video/06OvVV7aPAg/видео.html The way Saki switches the guitar pick in her fingers between 6:40 - 6:43 😍
Mary’s Blood is one of my favourite bands along with LOVEBITES ,Band Maid, NEMOPHILA (Saki is a guitarist in this band too) but if more people see bands like these bands (especially girls) hopefully more girls will be inspired to get into this genre
I thought you might like Saki´s sexy shreddy solos. Eye´s voice is not exactly light and bright, that´s for sure. :-) Rio is a very solid bass guitarist and Mari has a lot of stamina and skills. There is also the second guitarist for live performances Yashiro who usually stands in the background, but is certainly not a second rate guitarist, just saying There is also Amahiru project with Saki. I believe that you will not regret listening to some more of their songs. ;-) Try this live performance for the song called Arcadia: 【アルカディア】「Mary's Blood 10th Anniversary Box」(DVD/Blu-ray) 収録曲
Been a Fan of Mary's Blood for years. They have been around since around 2009, but sadly they announced in Dec. on various social media and video platforms that in April,They will be holding their last live performance at Toyosu Pit, Tokyo on April 9, 2022 as they will be going on permanent hiatus due to too long of breaks due to pandemic, and constant stats of emergency by the Japan govnt. causing many cancled shows. most everyone has started various other projects, such as Saki with Nemophila, so it is not like they wont be around, but they wont be around together as Mary's Blood. so in the meantime i would check out their library of music and you wont be disappointed.
Please react to Asterism!!!! If you're looking for the ultimate female Japanese guitarist then Hal-Ca of Asterism is the ultimate mind blow! If you have orgasms after a guitar solo then you're not going to be able to move for a week after Hal-Ca cuts loose. Try this song for starters..... ruclips.net/video/buQPvINJcA0/видео.html Enjoy!
I just love your takes and 'not like a F'n chorus line'- That's classic!! The one common thread I've found with Japanese bands is their absolute dedication to perfection of their craft. It's a cultural thing, like Samuraii. I'm not saying other countries and bands aren't amazing, but there is something about the way the Japanese approach skilled\craft\art work. Crazy amazing female musicians on all instruments. Checkout 'Lovebites and Wagakki band. Just insane. Not that I let my listening to them interfere with listening to my favorite Russian NYC based rock soprano! 😅❤
🤘 Hi Anastasia, thot I'd drop in and say hi. I have never heard of this band. But the singer sounds like the same singer who performs the intro song to the 'Bleach' anime series also out of Japan. The guitarist (Saki) has a style I've heard before but, can't quite put my finger on at the moment. I need to get my to sleep as its 6:37am here and the same up there... Been up all night catching up on Paranormal Research Channels 😁. Hey, keep up the great work and I'll get over and catch up on your music as well. 👏👏👏😎👍🍻
Marty Friedman (formerly Megadeth) is a devout Nipponophile. He's played with many Japanese rock artists and I bet he would love to hear from some one as talented and beautiful as you, and especially someone with your aspirations. He's quite gregarious so I think you should reach out to him and get a conversation going. DO IT!
Enjoyed! You should check out a new band called Hagane, they have four official videos on you tube. Wintry sky is the oldest, Super Vilian is the newest. Another exceptional band from Japan. Or maybe Aldious, sweet temptation. Japan is producing some really top notch rock bands.
(Note: Sadly, Mary’s Blood just announced they will give a final concert and then call it quits. They were one of the top tier Japanese metal bands for many years I was lucky enough to see them in late 2019 when they headlined Metal Matsuri. They were in god-mode that night. RIP MB, and best of luck to Eye, Mari, Rio and Saki in their future endeavors!) Mary’s Blood were the first successful band to spin out of the legendary Destrose. (Later spinouts include Disqualia, Mardelas, Fate Gear and Lovebites.) Mary’s Blood had some early personnel changes but settled into a stable lineup consisting of Eye (vocals), Saki (guitar), Rio (bass) and Mari (drums). It’s safe to say Saki is one of the top shredders in the world, and Rio and Mari are a great, heavy-hitting back line, one of the best right now. Saki has several other projects, including her own solo work, which veers more in the progressive/fusion direction. She is also involved as a founder of Nemophila, one of the newest Japanese metal bands that is attracting a lot of notice. When they tour, they are joined by Yashiro on second lead guitar (that’s why you see five women on stage in live performances). Yashiro is an instructor at Tokyo College of Music and has declined a number of offers to join a band full time. She teaches many of the young, up and coming female guitarists. I’ve seen them live and they are mind-blowing. Here is “Rolling Start”, live. It’s got a strong Guns N Roses vibe-except even higher energy: www.bilibili.com/video/BV17E411u7Rh
PLEASE REACT TO THE BAND, RAGLAIA. THE SONG, DON'T CHANGE YOUR MIND. THE SINGER, RAMI, WAS THE 1RST SINGER FOR ALDIOUS. STRAIGHT FORWARD ROCK/METAL DONE EXTREMELY WELL. 2 BOYS AND 2 GIRLS.
Did you notice Saki the guitarist from NEMOPHILA is here?this is where she came from. This is not their best song. They recently released a song about covid I can't remember what it's called but it's done pretty well. It's a good band and well worth checking out some of their other songs
I love both bands, Mary's Blood and Nemophila, but if I really want to hear Saki fast, wild and brutally, I look at a Mary's Blood Live videos, not Nemophila. The reactor video creators always take the same video from Mary's Blood, for 10 years. Mary's Blood has so many great, fast and hard new songs. Always this video and conclusion, that was it. This fact has safely brought the ladies to despair. Bad for creative artists ... I myself have certainly expressed the 100 times wishes to good new Mary's Blood Songs to reactors in the last 2 years and shared link. It was not even considered, only this song is taken in this version ... Mary's Blood live is : Eye (Vocals)👑 Mari Kobayashi (Drums)👑 SAKI (Lead Guitar)👑 Rio (Bass)👑 Yashiro (Rhythm Guitar)👑
Mary's Blood is amazing! Here are some more suggestions: You got a ton of recommendations for Asterism, I saw. Why should you enjoy them without singing? Basically an instrumental trio, they are occasionally joined by one of Japan's top rock belters, or even the number one there, the amazing Maki Oyama! Their live gigs are epic! Watch ruclips.net/video/3thAXV4laAA/видео.html And there is the rockband Mardelas, with their front lady Marina, another ex-Destrose member. Their song "Apocalypse" is furious indeed: ruclips.net/video/Wd8P7wTnWJs/видео.html Last but not least, there is the old school hard'n heavy rock band Whiskey Dust, with a rather raw and straight attitude. Check e.g. ruclips.net/video/Mq3m0XaTVeo/видео.html ! I'd bet you like them all ...
great reaction and review, this is give me JP vibe. you may be interested in legendary Japanese bands such as Loudness and X Japan: Loudness - Crazy Night ruclips.net/video/pXCpPpPCW4c/видео.html X Japan - Endless Rain ruclips.net/video/7rwJIeN1M7o/видео.html It wouldn't be complete to review J-music without those two bands
Even though it sounded like you only asked for all-female bands from Japan, I hope it's also OK to recommend all-female metal bands from other countries. I'd like to start with the Swedish band Ice Age who started in 1987 and were - to my knowledge - the first all-female Thrash Metal band. They didn't get beyond demo-status back then and split up. They "reformed" a few years ago, yet with only two of the original members left and a male drummer and released their first album. I'd like to recommend the official videoclip (from 1989!) of my favourite song "Instant Justice": ruclips.net/video/7C8kK7lXZRQ/видео.html Since the singer Debbie Gunn and one of the guitarists in this clip weren't from the original line-up, I also recommend this live version of the same song (also from 1989) featuring the original line-up: ruclips.net/video/7C8kK7lXZRQ/видео.html While, as far as old school metal and thus also Thrash Metal is concerned, Lovebites (whom you have already heard playing Thrash Metal) play in a league of their own, Ice Age proved already more than 30 years ago that women can play Thrash Metal very well! And while I'm at it, the all-female band Meanstreak from the US, who released their one and only album "Roadkill" in 1988, also deserve to be mentioned in this context. Their longest song "The Congregation" on that album is also my favourite one: ruclips.net/video/rwg5J7E7FpU/видео.html I especially like the rather clean, yet very powerful vocals. Fun fact: three members of Meanstreak married members of Dream Theater. An even more obscure all-female metal band whose only album "Transitions" (released in the 90ies) I also like are Mother Earth. Here's their song "Beyond Dark": ruclips.net/video/cu8nWCVxE_o/видео.html A bit tamer than Ice Age and Meanstreak, but not too polished for my taste. Finally I'd also like to mention Phantom Blue. Just like Lovebites, they had two lead guitarists - Michelle Meldrum (RIP) and Nicole Couch - who could shred very well, as e.g. in the song "Frantic Zone" (from their debut album, released in 1989): ruclips.net/video/iVpolsfQX_M/видео.html (about the 2 minutes-mark) Since the songs on their debut had been rather short, I had hoped they'd become more complex on their next album, but that didn't happen, maybe also because Grunge nearly killed old school metal in the early nineties. Though not even many old school metal fans know these bands, I think they deserve to be mentioned here, because they played metal at a time when the metal-scene was nearly entirely dominated by all-male bands. There were a couple of metal bands with female vocalists back then, but even those were just a small minority. I'm sorry this got a bit long, but I also wanted to include a bit of background information.
Hi Ana, hope all is well for you at home .. love what you do here on RUclips. I have to agree thank God for the women of Japan keeping guitar Rock alive. Another group you haven't done yet I think is .. Rolling Quartz they are pretty fucking good too ruclips.net/video/Pg51wRHMRek/видео.html and one more group you need to hear.. 3 sisters from Mexico they kickass .. they are called .. The Warning .. from 2018 > ruclips.net/video/TeIbG8nkOiU/видео.html take care darlin.
The guitarist is saki , she also in nemophila🤘🏻🔥
Yeah, everyone wants to go to Japan! ( Saki is gorgeous! )
Saki, our Guitar Empress. She's not only one of the best technical guitarplayer in Japan, she's also one with the most "rock" spirit, her attack on the strings is always extremely wild, not at all the clean robotic touch of too many great technicians. And live she has an amazing stage presence . Mary's Blood was her "old" band but she's been involved in a new one for two years now, NEMOPHILA, and they're the most promising metal band in Japan.
Saki never disappoints on a solo, that young woman is an absolute monster. Eye has always been an interesting singer, she is one of those understated gems.
Definitely, one of my favorite songs out of Japan, Saki is an incredible guitarist!! You should look into Asterism! Hal-Ca will blow your mind
Second that with Asterism. Start with their first MV Rising Moon. Guitar orgasms overload.....
Yes.Asterism rock.
She says that guitar solos give her orgasms...then Asterism will feel like a full blown orgy!
A major Rock/Metal band in Japan. Formed in 2009 out of Destrose. They have toured in the US. They are now on a hiatus. Saki, guitarist, is the main composer and is one Japan's top guitarist. Saki's main gig now is Nemophila who you really need to react too; suggestions "Monsters" and "Dissension".
Saki also has a solo MV out "Brightness" you like guitar solos, you will love this one.
The reason Japan has so many great bands and musicians is that the arts are still taught in their schools. Talent is recognized early and encouraged. Not unusual for learning a musical instrument to begin at 3 yo. Plus there are acting, dance and music schools for kids as young as 6 yo.
If you react to a live MV of Mary's Blood, look for Yashiro who is the second guitar when they play concerts.
Don't know where you are, but Band Maid and Nemophila have announced they will be performing at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, Ca in October. Band Maid is also touring in the US this year!!!
Already done dissension,,,

Nice to be discovering these songs and bands through your reactions. I became stunned too, and your expressions were the best, hahaha!
Galneryus next....angel of salvation for start
Mary's Blood is Great. They have been around for a number of years and influenced may Japanese Female Artists we enjoy today.
FOR ALL WOMAN THE BAND, HAGANE. THE SONG, SUPERVILLAN.
Great vid, Saki is my favorite Female guitarist she also plays in Nemophila and has done some work with other bands.
I fucking love the "YEEEEIAAAAH" at the beginning!
Can't stop playing this . Very Priest like riff. Would love to see a Saki and Midori shredfest on a festival stage.

Japan's Music Academia is top notch.

this band is great, they have more of a Japanese vibe in vocals and melody that's so cool.
Saki's so nasty! 🤘
I get Judas Priest vibes from this song. Mixing those pinch harmonics in riffs
Saki dress, 'lovebites' dress hehe

日本では、何をするにもできるだけ完璧でなければならない、影響を考えずに物事を行うことはできない、ということを理解しなければなりません、これは音楽にも言えることです。
Mary's Blood is amazing! Here are some more suggestions: You got a ton of recommendations for Asterism, I saw. Why should you enjoy them without singing? Basically an instrumental trio, they are occasionally joined by one of Japan's top rock belters, or even the number one there, the amazing Maki Oyama! Their live gigs are epic! Watch ruclips.net/video/3thAXV4laAA/видео.html
And there is the rockband Mardelas, with their front lady Marina, another ex-Destrose member. Their song "Apocalypse" is furious indeed: ruclips.net/video/Wd8P7wTnWJs/видео.html
Last but not least, there is the old school hard'n heavy rock band Whiskey Dust, with a rather raw and straight attitude. Check e.g. ruclips.net/video/Mq3m0XaTVeo/видео.html ! I'd bet you like them all ...
great reaction and review, this is give me JP vibe.
you may be interested in legendary Japanese bands such as Loudness and X Japan:

X Japan - Endless Rain ruclips.net/video/7rwJIeN1M7o/видео.html
It wouldn't be complete to review J-music without those two bands
Well if your serious about moving to Japan. Send a audition to Aldious they don’t have a lead singer. ( never know).
Rio Rio Rio! this is one of the Good Mary's Blood songs to me Unfortunately they have too many Mediocre/Bad songs admittedly I only own one album
Hey girls are beautiful smart I love them all I should have married a Japanese girl I know that

Even though it sounded like you only asked for all-female bands from Japan, I hope it's also OK to recommend all-female metal bands from other countries. I'd like to start with the Swedish band Ice Age who started in 1987 and were - to my knowledge - the first all-female Thrash Metal band. They didn't get beyond demo-status back then and split up. They "reformed" a few years ago, yet with only two of the original members left and a male drummer and released their first album. I'd like to recommend the official videoclip (from 1989!) of my favourite song "Instant Justice": ruclips.net/video/7C8kK7lXZRQ/видео.html Since the singer Debbie Gunn and one of the guitarists in this clip weren't from the original line-up, I also recommend this live version of the same song (also from 1989) featuring the original line-up: ruclips.net/video/7C8kK7lXZRQ/видео.html While, as far as old school metal and thus also Thrash Metal is concerned, Lovebites (whom you have already heard playing Thrash Metal) play in a league of their own, Ice Age proved already more than 30 years ago that women can play Thrash Metal very well! And while I'm at it, the all-female band Meanstreak from the US, who released their one and only album "Roadkill" in 1988, also deserve to be mentioned in this context. Their longest song "The Congregation" on that album is also my favourite one: ruclips.net/video/rwg5J7E7FpU/видео.html I especially like the rather clean, yet very powerful vocals. Fun fact: three members of Meanstreak married members of Dream Theater.
An even more obscure all-female metal band whose only album "Transitions" (released in the 90ies) I also like are Mother Earth. Here's their song "Beyond Dark": ruclips.net/video/cu8nWCVxE_o/видео.html A bit tamer than Ice Age and Meanstreak, but not too polished for my taste. Finally I'd also like to mention Phantom Blue. Just like Lovebites, they had two lead guitarists - Michelle Meldrum (RIP) and Nicole Couch - who could shred very well, as e.g. in the song "Frantic Zone" (from their debut album, released in 1989): ruclips.net/video/iVpolsfQX_M/видео.html (about the 2 minutes-mark) Since the songs on their debut had been rather short, I had hoped they'd become more complex on their next album, but that didn't happen, maybe also because Grunge nearly killed old school metal in the early nineties.
Though not even many old school metal fans know these bands, I think they deserve to be mentioned here, because they played metal at a time when the metal-scene was nearly entirely dominated by all-male bands. There were a couple of metal bands with female vocalists back then, but even those were just a small minority. I'm sorry this got a bit long, but I also wanted to include a bit of background information.
Oh very nice! Thank you for these suggestions
@@asenka11 You're welcome! :) Even if you shouldn't do a reaction to any of these, do yourself a favour and listen to them just for yourself!

Thinking about your health, never ever listen to "la leyenda del hada y el mago" by "Rata Blanca", the solo is almost non stop and can mess you badly.
