Loving the screams with the music. Perfect compliment to the sound. I haven't actually listened to this band before, I am now regretting this decision...

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Yea this band was amazing! I was blow away with the different sounds in this one song.

[@Russ.Murphy]

Hazuki plays Ibanez, and she is an Ibanez endorser! She gets her guitars for free, and has a lot of both 6&7 string Ibanezs! She uses DV Mark, Marshall, ENGL, Laney, and Kemper heads; as well as Marshall, ENGL, and Laney cabinets.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Nice! I really like Ibanez. I dont have a favorite brand, but they are up there on my list.

[@RichZee777]

You are gonna love this Band, one of the best bands today, The Japanese Metal bands that have started to surface in the last few years are amazing. Check out Live version of 'Revive' kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp2sk5agprNol9E

[@ericandrews6827]

The artist is painting like a sun or such with a flower in its center with 5 hands reaching up towards it. Very symbolic of the band. The 5 members hence 5 hands reaching. And the flower he painted is called a Nemophila , which is where they got the name from.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the comment and info! Thats pretty cool. I was surprised by the painting at the end, but I didnt realize it had a meaning behind it. I enjoy bands that add details like that to their music and videos.

[@rafaelornelas2085]

Nemophila is one of the best band's in the world 🤘🔥🔥❤️❤️

Great song and shows a completely different side of Nemophila. 'Ama-Te-Ras' is quite unique 'groovy metal' song and one of their best as well And thanks once again to @DragonPhlyy for helping get the word out for this amazing group of ladies!

There's a saying amongst us Japanese music lovers. Metal/rock didnt die. It just moved to Japan. LOL

[@dethrowegamer1715]

I like that saying! This band was soooo good. I am excited to se what else they have to offer!

[@IdiotPosterBoy]

There's a lot of interesting metal being published all across the globe. The near east in an interesting place metal-wise. Metal is *very* underground there, which is a bit unfortunate as the metal soundscape melds very well with traditional near eastern styles.

[@michelm.6033]

Just saying Hey! Welcome to Nemophila. Unquestionably one of my very favorite bands. I look forward to my next concert by them, but it will probably need to be back in the US. Although I am open to traveling to Japan again for them sometime next year.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the comment! Yea this band caught me off guard with how good they were. So many amazing sounds and visuals. I cant wait to react to more of their music.

[@Maidiac88]

Thanks for reacting to my second favorite Japanese band. These ladies are amazing! I suggest checking out Adabana or Ratei. If you want to hear the greatest hard rock band in the world then check out Band-Maid. I recommend the official live videos for: Hate?, Puzzle, Don't You Tell Me, Onset, Play, Domination or anything else on their KZbin channel.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the comment and suggestions! This band was amazing! I cant wait to add these to my list so I can hear them too.

[@gillesmurat7362]

Hi from France: The painting represents a NEMOPHILA, a blue flower with 5 petals and the 5 hands of each of the 5 musicians of the band...

[@snakewhisperer1]

Excellent reaction. The guitar Hazuki is playing is an Ibanez J.Custom RG8527. Fairly expensive, but I recently scored a used 6-string version of the same model (RG 8520) for a decent price. The other guitarist, Saki, is playing a Killer Fascist "The Empress" (her signature model). The "Killer" brand was created by Loudness guitarist, Akira Takasaki and is built and distributed by ESP. Unfortunately, Saki has recently left the band.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the comment and info on the guitarists! I can really appreciate nice looking guitars so those caught my eye immediately. I cant wait to react to more of their music and get a better view at some of them!

[@DragonPhlyy]

Thanks for checking out Nemophila just fyi there is no ia on the end of their name so it’s Neh-Moe-Fill-Ah. They are a truly special band and if you choose to continue checking out their other songs (and awesome covers too) then you will be surprised to find out they do a very wide range of styles and sounds. Thanks again for a great reaction.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Np man! This song was amazing! I dont know what I was expecting, but this blew me away. I appreciate the dono once again and I cant wait to react to more of this band!

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

@@dethrowegamer1715 I do plus one for Lovebites and Hanabie. Two of my favorites. But, I would also like to mention BAND-MAID. They are not really metal. They are rather hard rock or prog rock. But, I would say they are one of the best you can find in this genre. BTW - Nemophila, Lovebites, Hanabie and BAND-MAID are all all female Japanese bands.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the suggestions! Ill add them to the list.

[@Dead-EyeMetal]

If you like anime, I'm guessing you've seen 'Death Note'. Nemophila does a fantastic cover of one of the songs used in that show. The song is 'Zetsubou Billy (絶望ビリー)' by Maximum the Hormone. Nemophila's cover of it is just so good. EDIT to add: You have to learn to expect the unexpected from this band. The one thing that it is safe to expect is that nearly every song will surprise you. Personally, I'd recommend the following to get an idea of their musical diversity: 'Ama-Te-Ras', 'Zen', 'Monsters', 'Adabana', 'OIRAN' (the most recent live version), 'Odyssey'.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Oh nice! Yea I really liked Death Note, so Ill have to check that out. Thanks for the info and suggestions!

The previous band for Arch Enemy's current lead singer (Alyssa White-Gluz) was the Agonist. Interesting that you happened to mention them while you had the video paused on Hazuki with her Ibanez, because Arch Enemy is one of her favorite bands!

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Oh wow, what a coincidence! Yea I really liked The Agonist (more so than Arch Enemy) prolly because I liked her melodic vocals also. Thats why I really liked this band. I love the heavy and melodic in the same song. This band really blew me away and I cant wait to react to more!

Not sure why some people link everything to Anime. This is metal and Nemophila are a metal band--one of the best. Thanks for checking it out, but stop with this lumping of "Japanese culture" into one bucket. It's much more complex than that.

[@dethrowegamer1715]

Thanks for the comment! Sorry to offend. I only do that because most of my exposure to music like this is through anime so it just seemed similar to me. I def agree that from what I have been learning, Japanese culture is more complex than just anime and I cant wait to learn more. Do you have any music suggestions from Japanese artists?

[@daveminers3404]

@@dethrowegamer1715 I agree 100% with Hiawatha but it's not just you. I enjoy watching reaction videos, particularly the first-time listeners to this exceptional female Japanese rock and metal. It didn't bother me before, but it seems like all the newbies now have some comment about the music sounding like anime music. Then the "vibes" start, reminding them of other bands, so it's starting to get old with me too. Whatever. If I'm gonna experience other first-timer's joy at hearing these great bands...oh, well. Try the other two of the "big three" female Japanese bands, Lovebites and Band-Maid. Lovebites is power, thrash, and symphonic metal with clean vocals. Try "Hammer of Wrath", "Break the Wall", or "Swan Song" with the Chopin intro (very important, the version from 2020 with the Chopin intro), all live. For MV's, try "Judgement Day" or "Glory to the World", or "Shadowmaker". Band-Maid is hard rock and is the band that got me hopelessly hooked on Japanese female rock and metal. Try "Hate?" or "Domination", both live. For MV's, try "Dice", "Blooming", or "Daydreaming". Then, you'll be ready for Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, Bridear, and many more.
