For my money, Nemophila is the best metal band going.

“The noise you used to hate, it is now your best friend.” NEMOPHILA played at the Gramercy Theater in NYC during their 2023 US tour. You got it exactly right. They are students of old-school Metal, but they have made it their own. Same goes for BAND-MAID, LOVEBITES, and HANABIE.

Thank you so much for a great double reaction. I love Nemophila .Truth, the Japanese "revived" my love of metal. If you want a band that can play their instruments, you gotta do Lovebites. Hammer of Wrath Live.

Nemophila started as a f...ricking _session_ band. How "outrageous" is _that_ , please? They came together to rehearse a few project songs for the singer (Mayu), and then sort of "exploded" into vibe, creativity and joy. 😄Simply u n b e l i e v a b l e. Like a match made in heaven. I think, that they were _meant_ to play together. Let's just relish their joy and music as long as we possibly can. 😊💮

I agree, not overly sexualized. They can play, and that's what I enjoy. They are the real deal...but I do appreciate Mayu's shorts in this one.

Nemophila is specifically a 5 petaled flower - 1 petal for each band member, hence the band name. They were in New York on March 20th 2023, but currently have no plans to return.
@jamesredman12638 ай бұрын
It is a genus of flower populated mostly by various species of "baby blue eyes." It is native to North America (like rock and roll) but popular in Japan (like rock and roll). Every spring the hills of Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan turn blue with Nemophila flowers. It's a perfect name for them.

Amazing reaction, thank you so much! Nemophila are just _brilliant_ . 13:25 (and following). Absolutely. Therefore, Nemophila and Lovebites are *HAPPY* Metal for me: Delivering surpriseful excellence, uplifting lyrics, and happily smiling while performing. Like "We so much _love_ what we are doing, people obviously love it too, and we are actually spreading joy... How amazing is that?" 😄 Keep on digging in the Nemophila rabbit hole, it will pay off! It has never been a waste of time for me. 😊💮

@jawosammadennhier70628 ай бұрын
For me personally, both are comparable in terms of their qualities. In my view, Lovebites offer rather "arty" and symphonic Metal and live shows, whereas Nemophila are rather "punky". I _love_ both bands, both of them reign my playlist - together with Iron Maiden (my favorite band for story-telling and sort of "theatrical" Metal).

You are not too old. I'm 60 and just saw Band-Maid back in June and they were probably the best live show I have ever seen. Now I'm waiting for Nemophila to come to my neck of the woods. Never thought I'd get my old school rock from all these ladies in Japan. Keep rockin' fellas!!

Only found Nemophila just before Christmas this year. Was totally blown away! The first song I heard was "Monsters" which has a section of harmonizing lead guitars that totally reminds me of Queensryche (one of my all-time favorites) and their dual leads. It literally brought a smile to my face. Watching them play it is a treat. Since then I've listened to everything Nemophila I can find. There isn't a bad song to be found. Hope they make it back to the states soon.

When a band has fun, I have fun. These women always put the biggest smile on my face. I chased them around the US this past year and will go to at least one show in Japan next year. Although, I’m going to need to work on my frequent flyer miles. They have not announced any plans for tours past February in Japan; yet. However, their third original album, “Evolve,” is scheduled for release in January (I believe). I hope they come back to the US, or Europe next year as they have gained many new fans this year. ❤️🌸

I saw them live back in March 2023 in NYC, Grammercy theater, they blew the roof off that house, they were PURE fire.

The thing that is awesome about seeing these bands live is the crowd is older more respectful people that hang out outside the venue like friends even if you don’t know anyone it’s a cool group of people that a lot go to see the different bands and you will see the same people. It’s like a family, some people follow these bands around the country trying to go to as many shows as possible. Not many young people were there but I think more young people are discovering them. All of these bands that y’all have been checking out should be coming back at so time next year. Some have already committed to festivals in the US and will probably tour around some while over here. Check their band pages for tour dates and other news, they are awesome and deserve more recognition so thank you for reacting to these great bands plus there are many more that are really great also.

Well I certainly feel rested and at peace ✌️. Funny that you should mention Metallica as NEMOPHILA are renowned for their covers and have just released an EP of their last 4 covers plus a new song of their own and it includes Master of puppets. They have covers of a lot of my favourite bands and songs including Lovebites and SHIMI. As for not being oversexualised the drummer has 2 kids and the singer has one so I guess thay need to think about what their children will be seeing in 10 years. Have you ever heard of DOGMA? They are nuns. Check them out. Forbidden Zone or Father I have sinned. As for being old BAND-MAID fans especially outside of Japan are very often older people and you would be perfectly safe. Keep going with BAND-MAID and NEMOPHILA there's plenty more good times to come. 🇦🇺 Australia is watching 👀
