This song was on the setlist for the first couple of live shows Nemophila did, back in 2019 when they called themselves Mayu Session. I saw the second of those shows. Drummer Tamu has covered "Kurenai" for some years either solo or with guitarist Daisuke Kurosawa. It's almost a rite of passage for Japanese bands to cover "Kurenai". Babymetal's song "Akatsuki" is an homage to "Kurenai".
I haven't seen this video yet, but when he said: "It's Nemophila. It's definitely gonna be fast." I chuckled a bit thinking of the beginning of the song. I'm looking forward to his reaction.😉
I guess I’m the first and not the expert on X-Japan. However, to my limited knowledge they were the most internationally successful (financially) rock band out of Japan. They formed in 1982 and lasted a few decades. Unfortunately, some of the members have now started to pass (RIP). I believe they still hold the record for number for times performing at the Tokyo Dome (55,000 capacity and 15+ performances) including a stretch of 5 Japan’s New Years Eve performances in a row. You might know the drummer Yoshiki-San from his work with Queen, U2, Black-eyed Peas and countless others. A favorite band of Babymetal’s producer Koba-Metal and countless Japanese bands. Again I’m not an expert. Nemophila slayed this performance. Kudo’s to the women for this performance.
When Babymetal became the first Japanese band to play Wembley Arena in the UK, they actually took the place from X-Japan because one of the members was ill. I seem to recall Yoshiki paid them a visit.
Still perhaps my favorite cover from their impressive catalog, and the girls' faces at the end speak for themselves. They knew very well that they had pulled off something really amazing in that moment. ❤🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ ♬ _"America invented rock. England improved it.

Just checked the original- you definitely need to check it out!! The video is from X-Japan official, Last Live is the show. Nemophila certainly crushed this!!
X Japan Endless Rain from "The Last Live" HD - ruclips.net/video/7rwJIeN1M7o/видео.html The drummer and pianist is Yoshiki. Ooops you don't see him on drums in thisclip, but he is the bands drummer
Just a heads up. Show Ya and X-Japan vids can get blocked but they are great bands. I see in comments there is a link to X-Japans last live. The last live is X-Japans final concert with that line up and it’s a case of looking up the history of that before you watch it. You will get the feeling of it if you do that. Nemophila killed this cover. It’s one of my favourites. They also did Show Ya covers when their drummer Tamu was having a baby and Show Ya’s drummer stood in for her.
X-Japan is like the Metallica of the Japanese metal scene, at least impact wise. They are the elder statesmen of metal. They have strong influence on Babymetal. The version of this from Last Live 1997 by X is incredible. RIP hide
Just for reference. Mayu is the singer Hazuki is the guitarist usually to Mayu's left with the Ibanez. Saki is the other guitarist. Haraguchi is the bassist and Tamu is the drummer. And they are also all phenomenal often underrated musicians. In fact there's a , I don't know how to describe it, but festival and production where they name the whatever instrument "goddess" and Saki and Tamu have been both been finalists and named "drum goddess" and "guitar goddess" a few times. You really should delve deeper into nemophila . They have only been together less than 4 full years, yet play like they've been together 10 or more. Their versatility is highlighted by their you tube play list. They have tons of videos of them basically screwing off in their practice studio doing covers . From a few XJapan covers and other Japanese artists including show ya. (Fairy is a good song of theirs to check out, both show yas and hemophilia version. They also cover everything from maiden, to AC/DC to skid row, to Crue, Bon Jovi , Nickelback all the way to Journey. Their originals can be just as wide ranging a sound. I'm not sure which ones you have done but I would suggest , Now I here, Zen, style and hypnosis to go be you a taste of the range of their music. They are a lot like Babymetal in that way, you can't hear a few songs and pin them down. As far as XJapan, they have been around since the early 80's and Kurenai (means deep red) came out in the late 80's which explains the sound and feel. But they are still active today and actually did a show a handful of years back where they played as Babymetals band for a show or two instead of the Kami band if I remember right.
Only just getting into Nemophila but Mayu has a quality to her voice that makes me want to hear them cover an early Rush song when Geddy's voice was higher. Something like Fly by Night or Bastille Day.
in my younger day in early 90s, i listen to Metallica , Nirvana & X-japan , totally 3 different kind of rock/metal. i enjoy all them coz they re different from each other.
Much to say, many people are doing that already :) So just as a cool contrast, Sokoninaru covered Kurenai as well, and it's actually one of the covers that are really great, in that it's not all a faithful re-creation but they do sokoninaru-fy it. That said Nemophila did do a great job, it's not easy to cover such a legendary band and song well. X-Japan was really quite influential, not just musically but also culturally.
You just heard a faithful cover of KURENAI. Here’s a circa 1989 TV appearance where SHOW-YA play their two biggest hits, live: GENKAI LOVERS and WATASHI WA ARASHII - ruclips.net/video/MxbCn24-EWA/видео.htmlsi=k2I3JyKLCE9vK0Xw In NEMOPHILA, HARAGUCHI-SAN plays bass, and MURATA TAMU plays drums. For a real surprise,listen to NEMOPHILA’s cover of MAKE YOU HAPPY.

That's because X Japan are the SHIT!
Gracias por la información 👍
Good cover by the ladies. Tamu is such a powerful drummer
X Japan is such an amazing and important band. And just got better with time.
X Japan, Loudness, and Maximum the Hormone......
They paved the way.
X-japan The Last Live 1997 in Tokyo Doom is a legendary performance. Can recommend Endless Rein from that concert
The Last Live is a concert I can watch on repeat and never get tired of it
I LOVE X JAPAN ...I ADORE NEMOPHILA THEY ARE PHENOMENAL...MY FAVORITE DRUMMER TAMU❤
I haven't seen this video yet, but when he said: "It's Nemophila. It's definitely gonna be fast." I chuckled a bit thinking of the beginning of the song. I'm looking forward to his reaction.😉

Nemophila slayed this performance. Kudo’s to the women for this performance.
The Tokyo Dome record is particularly impressive considering they broke up for 10 years during the height of their popularity
When Babymetal became the first Japanese band to play Wembley Arena in the UK, they actually took the place from X-Japan because one of the members was ill. I seem to recall Yoshiki paid them a visit.
@@CaptainAfterland yeah I believe the rythym guitarist Pata was not well, and they had to postpone their show there
Gracias por la información 👍
Lots of covers of this J-metal classic, but this is my favorite. The whole band kills it, but OH EM GEE is Tamu superhuman on this one.
Nemophila also made covers and play with showya members. You should check nemo cover "I'm the storm".
Love how towards the end Tamu has a kinda " Please make it stop ! " look on her face - it's a killer !
X Japan forever! R.I.P. Hide 🎸🔥🤘
Still perhaps my favorite cover from their impressive catalog, and the girls' faces at the end speak for themselves. They knew very well that they had pulled off something really amazing in that moment. ❤🔥🤘🏻

Uno de los covers más impresionantes de Nemophila y el mundo! Tremendo! Saludos 👍

Haraguchi-san is the Bassist.
You should watch X Japan playing Kurenai Live, nobody plays like X! X Japan is the greatest Japanese band of all times ! 🎸🔥🤘
Para mi también!
🤘😁🤘
You just heard a faithful cover of KURENAI.
Here’s a circa 1989 TV appearance where SHOW-YA play their two biggest hits, live: GENKAI LOVERS and WATASHI WA ARASHII - ruclips.net/video/MxbCn24-EWA/видео.htmlsi=k2I3JyKLCE9vK0Xw
In NEMOPHILA, HARAGUCHI-SAN plays bass, and MURATA TAMU plays drums.
For a real surprise,listen to NEMOPHILA’s cover of MAKE YOU HAPPY.
Tamu's collapse at the end is a homage to Yoshiki who had severe asthma.
Still has. Let alone broken every bone in his hands.
Drummer is awesome. Reminds me of Keith Moon.

Guys, did you intentionally write "VILLIAN", not "villain" for your album's title? Or it's a typo?
PS- Do yourself and your channel a favor by reacting to the original. I suggest X-Japan Last Live. My links get deleted by RUclips, so see next reply for a link,if it appears.
