Nemophila- Dissention First Time Reaction!

[@OvDevilz]

NEMOPHILA is a Tokyo-based Japanese all-female metal band formed in August 2019 as one-off live show band called Mayu Session, and as the name implies, its assembled by mayu (ex-LIPSTICK vocalist as Sindy) assisted by her high school friend, Haraguchi-san (ex-HöLDERLINS bassist as Gucchi). They managed to get hold of Murata Tamu (ex-SORAMIMI drummer) who is a very famous well respected solo drummer in Japan with massive reputation as one of the best and versatile prolific new age drummer. They still need a guitarist so mayu contacted SAKI (ex-Destrose guitarist) through mutual friend and asked if she is interested for a session or knew someone who might because SAKI is the founder and organizer for World Guitar Girls Collection (WGGC), a project that bring forward talented Japanese female rock/metal guitarists. SAKI, who is very busy being in 2 different bands (Mary's Blood and AMAHIRU) wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to play alongside Tamu (prominent drummer in SAKI's WGGC project) answered YES! to both questions. She showed up with her friend Hazuki, a highly-skilled technical guitarist from heavy metal band DISQUALIA. She worked as a sessionist for Rami and Li-sa-X since DISQUALIA activities were put on hold in 2017. The arrivals of two technical guitarists concluded Mayu Session's final line-ups of superb veteran quintet. Mayu Session was confirmed to perform live at Shinjuku Wild Side, Tokyo for 'Summer Game' event in August 2019. The news that metal guitar goddess SAKI will be performing alongside drums goddess Tamu, together in one band, travelled fast and eventually became the 'talks of the town'. About 2 weeks before their confirmed live show, Mayu Session was booked for their second live show on 5th September 2019 at the same venue for 'Dig up! Your Wonderland!' event. They hadn't even performed their one-off live show yet but already booked for a second show, which seemed to broke the original one-off deal. During those times, little did they knew that there will be endless show for all of them together as a band. Every member have years of experience being in a band but never played together before. Some members didn't even know each other with different personalities and musical preference. However, during their first show, they hit off immediately on stage when all their wisdom and years of experience kicks-in, triggered them to play their integral parts naturally in completing the whole performance. Every one of them are capable to hold their own and being on equal footing with each other and there were no second guessing so they just enjoying the moment having fun performing, smiling and laughing together, owning the stage while their audience went crazy with lots of excitement. Perhaps too much fun for the band members that they don't want it to end but the show ended and everyone is overjoyed. Despite their differences in many aspect, Mayu felt good seeing the band members really enjoyed each others' company both on and off the stage; and realized that this is what she had always imagined to have in a band. As all the band members felt the same, they decided to make their band permanent and announced that they will stay together as NEMOPHILA during the 5th September 'Dig up! Your Wonderland!' show. NEMOPHILA later announced that they landed their first major appearance in METAL WEEKEND 2019 event at Zepp Diver City, Tokyo. NEMOPHILA performed twice during METAL WEEKEND 2019 with an opening act for two heavy metal legends, LOUDNESS and HAMMERFALL on two different days. On both occasions, the organizer introduced NEMOPHILA as "Super Girls Metal Band" and no question asked on that 'title' since the band members are no strangers to Japanese rock/metal scene with several decades of experience between them; and individually regarded as a reputable seasoned musician. They continued their journey and had another two show at Shinjuku Wild Side, Tokyo in 2019. In 2020, NEMOPHILA announced their Japan tour schedule but eventually cancelled due to the pandemic. In February, just before lockdown took place, they managed to perform at Shibuya REX - their first one-man show. It was a sold-out venue where all tickets were gone hours after it was announced. That time, Tamu was on maternity leave. Tamu had always been called-up to fill in for drummers' absence but in her absence, NEMOPHILA called-in Miki 'mittan' Tsunoda, a drummer from the legendary all female band SHOW-YA (one of the best-selling Japanese metal bands in history) who was more than happy to make an appearance that day covering for Tamu. In 2021, NEMOPHILA took part in NAONのYAON (female outdoor stage - music festival celebrating female artist) live streaming show. SAKI was on double duty since Mary's Blood also performing there. Tamu was also called-up to fill in for another band Gacharic Spin since their drummer Yuri was on maternity leave. In December 2021, NEMOPHILA released their full-length debut album REVIVE and ranked #8 on weekly Oricon new album chart, #7 on weekly Billboard Japan (download) chart. Their relentless hard works to establish their presence in local as well as international music scene eventually paid off when they were awarded as the 'Artist of The Year 2021' by Tower Records Japan. In January 2022, NEMOPHILA appeared in one-man show for the first time featuring all original members including the drums goddess, Tamu. In that show, they performed a song LIFE as finale, which was a very special song they performed for Tamu during one of their live streaming event, celebrating Tamu's return to the line ups after maternity leave. This time around, it is very emotional for mayu seeing all the band members around her managed to pull off this one-man show with her and she cried hard. Before their final bow, Tamu is the first to approached mayu and gave her a hug and gentle mother's gesture like saying she did a great job. In April 2022 they performed at NAONのYAON 2022 and later in June they will start Zepp Tour with series of show. One band will be at the venue alongside NEMOPHILA as their guest musician. The most anticipated show is on the 11 June that includes worldwide live streaming show (check ticket at NEMOPHILA website) and the band that answered to their calling for that show is the one NEMOPHILA opened up for before, the heavy metal legend, LOUDNESS. In July 2022 they will perform for the first time outside Japan at West Hollywood. In October they will be in California, US for the Aftershock Festivals 2022, which also includes Mayu's favourite Foo Fighters and Haraguchi-san's favourite Slipknot among the performers. Besides those two bands, they are also excited to be performing on the same day as KISS, one of their seniors they look up to as inspiration. NEMOPHILA did a cover of Detroit Rock City before and that cover now have close to 1 million views. The presence of Tamu alongside SAKI is the beacon of NEMOPHILA and seeing the band's overall vibes throughout, it could be a heavy metal legend in the making. NEMOPHILA is pushing forward since the beginning and there is no sign of slowing down in any foreseeable future. 🤘🏻

Thank you for copying and pasting lol

[@waterwalker9600]

I appreciate the knowledge you share. It's more for the 11.8K subs on this channel...I'm sure this is first contact for more than a few of them. Keep it up Bro 🤘

[@OvDevilz]

@@radioraffa good luck finding all those info in one place to copy and paste if not from me. As a copywriter myself, I could say I got most complete story of them and each member than you can get on any platform. Its a hard work to compile all those information and managing them in order but once its all done, yes just copy and paste... but at least not copying it from others. Also I made that story as short and as direct as it could be because the actual line up assemble was Hazuki wasn't included on the first gathering but SAKI later thought its good to have another guitarist. Mayu could play guitar but not very good at it so SAKI brings in Hazuki. But cut the story short, basically SAKI introduced Hazuki to the rest of the band. Although Haraguchi-san did encountered Hazuki before when HÖLDERLINS and DISQUALIA met in a festival. And I can go on and on...

[@OvDevilz]

@@waterwalker9600 yes I dropped their stories to those seems interested enough for the band and not always since its too long and it keeps getting longer as new (as well as old - e.g. 'newly' discovered Haraguchi-san history) info kept coming in but stil trying to make it short.

[@Oedwak]

@@radioraffa You want OvD to write that from memory every time? You sadist! Seriously though it's good info and gets stored on KZbin's dime which is a win in my book. It does make me wonder what the upper limit is on KZbin comment length currently (that sort of thing is subject to change at any time).

[@nottinghamforest07]

Another absolutely amazing group from Japan. Found them through their numerous cover songs, and haven't stopped listening to them since.....hope all is going well with you Jamee.

Nemophila are so good. They play a lot of styles. To see the other side of them... Try Life. It's a great feel good song. The video shows the return of Tamu the drummer after the birth of her baby. Hits the feels! To see them live, Oiran at Naon Yaon. It's so kick ass. Proves that they can pull it off on stage. Thank you for another great reaction.

You've reacted to 3 of my favorite all female bands.......it only gets better, so Please do More. ❤🎙🎸🥁😎👌

A great song/video by a great band. One of my favourite new bands. Would enjoy seeing your reactions to their other great videos as well.

[@panterarufo9734]

Una de las mejores canciones de Nemophila ! Espectacular banda! Me gustó gracias 😎🤘

[@hiawatha.g]

This is one of the bands to watch, no question. They just started in 2019 and are blowing up fast. As you can see from the gang vocals, they don't take themselves too seriously-Hazuki even winks. They almost seem to be enjoying a private joke, that goes "Hi, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off, and you are going to like it.” Nemophil-a (yes, you pronounced it right) were founded in 2019. They are a supergroup composed of: Mary's Blood guitarist Saki ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki (also plays with Lisa-X) ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Muratatam (also does other projects) Initially, they were just a side project, co-organized Mayu with some help from Saki. They started off posting metal covers of well-known rock, pop and metal songs. Then they began posting originals, starting with “Oiran” kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rFY4GqhdyWrsU The viral reaction seems to have convinced them they were onto something potentially big, so they’ve been putting a lot more work into it, including some successful live-streams and an appearance at the annual Japanese female rock festival NAONのYAON. They tend toward hard and heavy, but also do ballads and some pop covers. Drummer Murata Tamu took time off to give birth to her son, and on her return, the rest of the bandmembers gave her a welcome back that resulted in an extremely moving moment captured on live stream: “Life” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnfRdoyel6p0p8k After Oiran, others to check (if you haven’t already) include "Dissension", which will fry whatever is left of your circuits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfEfqiXnd2tbsU and “Raitei”, which means “Thunder” in Japanese, and yes, they bring the thunder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opmQlYmCgLVmZ5Y Saki is the only one who had been with a breakout band before (Mary’s Blood); Hazuki and Murata-tamu are also considered elite musicians and have worked with a lot of other top artists. Hara-san is the youngest but is clearly a great talent and has been developing in front of our eyes. And of course Mayu is quickly establishing herself as a one of the world’s best metal vocalists. Nemophila’s youtube channel: kzbin.info/door/voAeGZoC8giXP59NOZABIAvideos If you haven’t already, another band frequently suggested after Nemophila is Hanabie. Try “We Love Sweets” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKbqqyshaiciq8

Well now, more from Nemophila, I’m thinking you’d appreciate Revive and Oiran live at Naon Yaon. Nemophila are an awesome live band (Playing LA July 1st) and this live video gives you a hint of what they are about. Also, if you like a bit of Juxtaposition then you need a little Hanabie in your life. “We Love Sweets” or “L.C.G.” Will wake you up in the morning. “Reiwa Matching Generation” will make you blush. 😜

[@bryandevito5120]

Could be. I appreciate you defending your statement though. Usually when I troll a reactor they back down or ignore me. You’re right, and that’s kind of the point. Maybe we get to a place where we see seven string guitars being shredded by absolute goddesses and we accept our faces getting melted by killer riffs and a badass vocalist without making a visual pre assessment. That’s the hope anyway. You’ve at least changed my reaction to you, that’s a start. Rock on.

Hi Jamee, Japan is a treasure trove of great female rock bands. Japan's music market is the second largest after US, so I had never advertised it to the world. And now, with the proliferation of KZbin, people are discovering them. As for my next recommendation, how about HANABIE, the youngest female metal band in Japan? They blend "kawaii" and "brutal". You can experience strange things you've never seen before. 🤘🍰 Hanabie - "We Love Sweets"

Aren't Nemophila fun? Unlike Band-Maid none of them are wearing bonnets, but I love them anyway. Another band with a distinct lack of bonnets most of the time would be Gacharic Spin (pronounced gotcha Rick), although they've been around a while and I've seen Tomo-Zo (guitar) wearing one at a performance or two.
