Nemophila is one of the best band's in the world 🤘🔥🔥❤️❤️
That's the way I listen to a lot of music. I listen to the instrumentals, and the vocals, as far as how the vocals sound with the instrumentals. It's the overall presentation, rather than the lyrics, that draw me in. Thanks for introducing me to this band. I will be listening for more.
Thanks again Gaye 😄 I definitely think they warrant some more of our attention. I love this kind of stuff so I'll be binging their albums soon! 🤟🤟🤟 I'll race you to the finish 😉
I am the same - but as someone who has been following them since their first RUclips video, you do get used to listening to when Mayu is singing in English. Believe it or not, this one is about 60% English, 40% Japanese. Also, regarding their name, in their Rizing Nemo (yes, that's how they spelled it for the tour) show, which was just released on Blu-Ray and DVD, they discuss how to say their band's name. It's Neh - moh - fee - lah. Nemophila is a 5-petaled blue flower, which is quite common in the US, and is also grown in Japan. It is also the band's logo.
Thanks for correcting me, Steve. Was a bit hard to decipher in the track tbh but when you read the lyrics the % split is about what you said 👍
To think, that these incredible ladies came together as a _session_ band...! And then sort of exploded into vibe and creativity... A gift to Metal, like Lovebites.
💯% 🤟
They are the BEST!!!!!
Probably my favourite Japanese band I've reacted to so far 🤟🤟🤟
日本から、ネモフィラ、ありがとう🤟🇯🇵
Wow! You are officially my first ever Super Thanks!!! Thank you so much for the generosity 👍🙏❤️ Greatly appreciated 😊
Toma like 100 ! Por Nemophila! Buena reacción, buena canción! Buenos Aires presente!
Thank you 🙏 And hello Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
Enjoyed the reaction. My favorite of theirs is "Adabana". I'm throwing my vote in for that one next.
Cheers dude. Several viewers previously recommended Oiran, Dissension, Revive... but not Adabana. Nice 👍
@@melvinthinks All of the above and Adabana
😁👍
@@melvinthinksdefinitely recommend Adabana. Oiran live as well.
Formed when Mayu needed a backing band for a live session. She called her former classmate Hariguchi-san. The found drummer Tamu Murata, and guitarists Saki ( ex -Mary's Blood), and Hazuki (ex - Disquala). They decided the lineup was too good and decided to form a band. They named it after a flower because the are all female. Love Mayu's screams too, but you've only heard a small taste of them. Tamu has been a , sought after, session drummer. Shredding guitars and rock solid bass, I think you are really going to enjoy this band.
This song is one of 2 singles released this year , since the last album, Night Flight is the other. For more try "Dissension", or "Oiran", "Revive" , or "Raitei" from the 1st album. Or "Adabana", "Seize the Fate", and "Style" from the 2nd.
Cheers Chris. I heard they are working on a new album too.
One of the best metal bands on the planet right now: versatile, technically superb, and with off-the-charts chemistry and charisma. I've seen the live (twice), and they have that "in the presence of greatness" vibe at their live shows. Lightning in a bottle...
Yeah man! I'd definitely like to see them live in the UK one day, for sure!!!
Nemophila is pure 🔥🔥🔥! World class musicians, they play a wide variety of styles and excel at all of them. Try Adabana or Revive next.
Thanks Jesse 😁
Right, Adabana and Revive are two absolutely recommendable bangers of them. 😁
Great reaction! The members of nemophila are musicians from different bands. They are all excellent musicians. And nemophila is a very unique and diverse band, with various genres of music appearing in their catalog. I recommend《oiran》live(recent one) as the next!🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻
Thank you! 🙏🤟👍
Great intro to Nemophila I totally forgot about this live version of RISE. Def try out OIRAN live or Revive live next!
Cheers very much 😀
More Brits need to be introduced to Nemophila i have been there from the start and i can tell you there a breath of fresh air to metal .All of them our hyper talented they do cool covers as well just for there own amusement (there independent ) of classic metal and rock .There working on a new album now .Have a look at some of the newer live tracks as they were only allowed to have audiences fairly recently due to covid ,now there out playing live at packed shows hopefully soon in the uk.
Cheers Robert. There's definitely x1 more Brit that's joined the party 🎉😄🤟🤟🤟

Nemophila - "baby blue eyes" flower, "Rurikarakusa" in Japanese; grows in N-America and is appreciated in Japan (see "Hitachi Seaside Park"). "phila" = love..."philia" = attraction towards. Nemophila, one "i".
The band was formed in 2019, originally as a "session" brought together by...
Mayu - the vocalist (ex- Lipstick band);
Haraguchi-san - bass, backing vocals, was Mayu's friend and colleague from Music College (ex - Holderlins band);
Tamu Murata - drums, backing vocals, one the most respected session musician in Japan (countless bands), with also her own original carrier; she's also the wife of Akira Yamaoka, musician/composer, known especially for his videogames OSTs, in particular for "Silent Hill";
Saki (ex - "Mary's Blood" band for a decade, and others), she's a "young sacred monster" in J-metal) guitar, backing vocals, and...
Hazuki (Li-sa-X / KOIAI bands) - guitar, backing vocals; both, Saki and Hazuki have a lot of experience.
Nemophila made an amazing fandom impression during the pandemic, thru RUclips clips...so far about 50 Western/Japanese awesomely bonkers covers, and over 30 original freakishly good songs (singles, EPs, 2 albums - "Revive" and "Seize The Faith").

Thank you 🙏
Great reaction! It is awesome to see people discover NEMOPHILA for the first time!
Once upon a time ago there was a band named DESTROSE helmed by founder, guitarist and composer Captain MINA! Over their eight year (or so) career, a total of 19 official members and a few guest members were a part of that band (MINA being the only constant up until a few months before disbandment in 2015; she took a break due to some health issues; she now has a band called FATE GEAR). The first line-up eventually left and formed MARY'S BLOOD and SAKI came in to fill guitarist ERI's spot (she quit DESTROSE about a year later and once again replaced ERI in MARY'S BLOOD). SAKI has remained in MB until they took a hiatus a couple years ago (all members are doing various solo projects, etc.). But even before the hiatus, SAKI began working with these ladies that eventually became an official band; MB is still on hiatus!
Guitarist NARUMI was part of the last line-up of DESTROSE with Captain MINA, MIHO and HARUNA (who formed LOVEBITES) and vocalist MARINA HEBIISHI (who later formed MARDELAS), but around the time MINA took a break, a couple members left and a new vocalist and drummer came in (both of which formed DISQUALIA with NARUMI after disbandment; DISQUALIA also recruited HAZUKI on guitar who is the other axe slinger in NEMOPHILA with SAKI!
Yeah! I like to know about the bands I listen to as well! I'm so far down the rabbit hole of Japanese music...🤩
Thank you 🙏😊
Hazuki and Saki plays 7 string guitars in standard F tune. Good reaction to a fantastic band 👍🏽🤘
Cheers! 🍻
It’s weird that this really isn’t my style. Then one day I heard Nemophila and that was it. They are outstanding. My favorite song is Zen. Oh love The Warning also. 2 different styles but love both.
I know what you mean. But when a band hits you and pulls you in, there's nothing you can do it. And it might open you up to other sub genres too. Enjoy the journey 😁
@@melvinthinks I did start listening to Rush, Deep Purple, Kiss, Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, that’s what I grew up on. I saw all those bands also, except Kiss. Rush was my first concert in the early 80’s. The first person I got into was Elvis Presley, my mom got me into him.
That's a solid musical education 😁
🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
Stay tuned for another of their videos later this week 😁
Magical band. It’s like they were born to play together. Imo..Best Band in this Universe 🔥🤘❤️ Greets from Finland 🇫🇮
Not Nightwish? 😜😂😬
@@melvinthinks Lovin Nightwish too. Seen them almost 100 times live etc but these ladies are something special imo. They have it all: Passion Talent Work Heart. Of course Nightwish has been in my life over 20 years and Gotta love their career but these ladies are like fresh air in rock world.
Welcome to Nemophila. At last, your life can begin properly, lol.
Japan is making music fun again.
Thanks dude. Bit late to the party but better late than never 😁
Now, that is awesome *HAPPY* (Punk) *METAL* as it is supposed to be! 😁 Awesome reaction, thank you! 😁 I discovered Nemophila a few weeks ago, and instantly fell in love. 🥰 Iron Maiden, Lovebites and Nemophila shape my personal Metal heaven now. 😊🤘
Maybe you want to watch the music videos of their songs "Revive" and "Adabana", too, they are as vitalizing as this one. 😊🐺💮
Thank you! And those songs are added to my list. I've got another Lovebites video coming out to tomorrow too so stay tuned for that one 🙂
@@melvinthinks Thank you for that announcement! I am looking forward to that! 🙂
NEM-O-PHIL-A. There's no "ia" at the end. Don't worry. It's a bit of an optical illusion. Almost everyone has got it wrong first time. The lead singer named the band after a blue and white flower that has five petals representing each band member. If you want to see where she probably picked up the idea type in Nemophila Hitachi Seaside Park and check out the images. Visually impressive.
My bad. I will pronounce it correctly next time 😄
wow awesome
Pretty tasty, huh? 😁
Fuck yeah MACHINE HEAD. I can hear some of their influence in it.
No. Machine. FUCKING. Head!!! 😉
Do another Nemophila which would be Zen live.
I can take my pick of any of their songs by sounds of it 😀
React to more Nemophila Revive Dissension and Monster
I've got a lot to get through 😁🤟👍🤟
AMY ...!!!
😁
Adabana is a masterpiece
🤘😁🤘
🤟🤟🤟
Greeting Sir!! Today, I would LOVE to suggest a brand new song entitled "Dissociation", by the French Canadian Death Metal/Classical project named "Disorientation". This is a lyric video* Thank you for your attention and have a nice day ;)
Thanks Dan. I'll add it to my list 😁👍
You ahould check out ZEN.
Will do 👍
Listen carefully. Lots of English in the lyrics, which you can find in the OMV. Take it from an old Metal ahead in the Bay Area, NEMOPHILA (only one “I”) are better than MACHINE HEAD.
Look for their dozens of Japanese cover songs.
Another poor soul captured by the evil plans of all the unbelievingly great Japanese metal and rock bands, You've tripped into one of the best things to happen in a long time, great bands and Lovebites and Nemophila are just the tip of the mountain.
Hahaha! Cheers Glen. I'm gonna enjoy climbing this Japanese mountain 🤟🤟🤟
Most of this song is in English.
I stand corrected.
@@melvinthinks You might benefit from watching the official MV that has most of the lyrics available without subtitles.
Cheers Dave
Machine Head vibes? I can see it. I get more of an older Trivium feel.
Defo Machine Head vibes! I stand by this 😁And Trivium are heavily influenced by them too, to my knowledge. So if you get Trivium vibes then we are pretty much in agreement, pal 🤟
OK, now you have to go back and hit the OGs of Japanese female rock, Band-Maid.
They are on my To Do List 👍😁🤟
The OG are Shonen Knife and Show-Ya from the 80s...😉
I've been recommended Shonen Knife on this channel once before I think 🤔
Your comment about only two albums and not much back catalog to go through? They also have dozens of worthy covers on their YT page so your logic is faulty.😀😀
I like to judge bands based upon their own original material. I don't doubt they do great covers, but I want to hear their own songs 😁
@@melvinthinks Don't get me wrong, so do I. Some of their covers, though, are better than the originals, they clearly have fun doing them, and they pay tribute to the original artists. They are not to be overlooked. Get a few more originals under your belt and try one. How about Iron Maiden's "The Trooper"?
@daveminers3404 I love 'The Trooper' from Iron Maiden so if I'm gonna do a cover, then that's probably my pick 😁🤟
What happened to i am going to shut up and listen to the rest of the song 5 seconds later yapping again
Thanks for the love 😘
you asked if we have looked at Machinehead, and expressed bewilderment if people have not heard of them, yes, we have, but where have you been in the past 4 years???)))) Nemophila is the best band rocking the world nowadays. Anything that's interesting in music now comes out of Japan, and yes - they look like Alice in Chains on the stage))) Try to pronounce their name phonetically, the way you did it sounded like...sex with fish))) you totally ruined "Finding Nemo" for me))) Welcome to the party - better late than never)))
Fair play and agree with most of your comment, but you can't really compare Nemophila with Machine Head with regards to metal fan knowledge and legacy. Machine Head have been around for 30+ years 😁
@@melvinthinks just so you know, I liked your approach, this band is only worth seeing live. Try Zen, Seize the Faith, Oiran...all live)) enjoy
Thanks man. And apologies for saying thier name wrong. Hopefully it doesn't put you off of fish in the future 😁
Definitely a band that warrants me seeing them live. I love their energy.
@@melvinthinks no, worries, I wasn't offended! Just the English language is so rich when it comes to pronounciation. I would recommend an old live performance of 2021, the song is called Oiran. They performed on an empty venue due to covid restrictions. You can hear the way they were announced. Later you can watch Oiran in front of a croud too))) Nemophila is a five petal flower known also as "baby blue eyes"! Just enjoy - the band is like a drug, so addictive and the more you get - the more you want)))
Oiran is on my list as well as Dissension. But tbh - I could pick most of their tracks by sounds of it and I'd enjoy it. That's the vibe I'm getting from chatting with all of you guys 😄
