Metal Vocalist Reacts to NEMOPHILA - DISSENSION

[@AngelLWJ]

Nemophila is a band formed in 2019, but actually each of their members is from a different band, so nemophila is like a super band type, and they are a very unique band, they have no specific style, each song has different elements, Both guitars are 7 string, and of course 5 string bass，Two guitarists: Saki and hazuki are very famous guitarists in Japan, drummer tamu is one of the best drummers in Japan, she not only plays rock and metal, she is also a very good jazz drummer. next one Please react to 《oiran》or《raitei》🔥🔥🤘🏻🌸

[@Memento_Mori]

It's awesome to me how many Jazz drummers end up being just BEASTLY metal drummers. I could tell they're all individually incredible musicians, so the fact they're more or less a supergroup makes a lot of sense. I've had 3 suggestions for Oiran already so that's probably next!

[@AngelLWJ]

@@Memento_Mori totally agreed and thank you

[@DavidKAnderson]

@@Memento_Mori Yeah...if you have the chops to play jazz fusion, you can probably play anything, at least from a technical standpoint. But just as impressive, Tamu is able to switch gears from an emotional/artistic standpoint. She doesn't sound like a fusion drummer playing metal (or vice-versa); her sound is authentic. On a slightly different note (swidt?), Japan just seems to produce incredible drummers. Not gonna try and make a comprehensive list (that would take a while), but some favorites of mine include Fumiya (Unlucky Morpheus, former Galneryus, etc), Youth-K (Raglaia, etc.), Natsumi (Bridear, ex-TELECiDE), and the astonishing Senri Kawaguchi (in the conversation for best fusion drummer there is).

[@Memento_Mori]

@@DavidKAnderson Going to check out all of those for sure. Welcome, fellow David!

[@fightrashovar4578]

@@DavidKAnderson You're right, David, although I'd still say that Murata-San is no jazz- and even no fusion drummer (sorry Angel LWJ ...) in a strict sense, as she isn't specialised in it, rather her strength is her unlimited versatility, in particular; so as she knows to play every rock genre and style, she is quite good in playing fusion, too; all the other statements you made regarding Tamu Murata's qualities I endorse fully. And I'd like mention three more drummers (all women, by coincidence) whom I would favour: the drummer of Aldious, Terry Bozzio's stepdaughter Marina, Lovebites' powerdrummer Haruna, and, as you wrote about fusion and jazz, the wonderful and great Kanade Sato - not even 20 years old, and yet she belongs to the world's best, just like Senri K.

Mayu`s vocals are some of the best in the business, she has an incredible range of mode from calm clean to outrageous, this band is so fantastic at being able to change their spot's from metal to power ballod, everything thing about them is so strong, they have a bright future.

[@Memento_Mori]

Yeah, when I heard the cleans in contrast to the screams I immediately knew she was special.

Welcome to Nemophila There a one off with a cast of super talented ladies And a Mayu (singer) who has a amazing range and can sing just about any thing .Go look up there YT channel where you will find a diversity of rock ,punk and metal all done with a smile .would be nice to see you go back to the start of the band and do Oiran next They never disappoint .

[@ramair3judge]

Somehow this band plays every genre in rock and metal and nobody is disappointed. This song is on the extreme metal end, even with the fun gang vocals, but they have played several pop songs and are just as enjoyable. They just have that infectious fun attitude with everything they do. There is a behind the scenes making of this video to get what I mean by that. It has been quite a ride watching this group since their beginning.

[@Memento_Mori]

I've had a couple people mention the behind the scenes video, I'll be checking that out soon!

[@zoltantari7336]

Yeah! I second that. The behind the scenes footage is just pure fun. Shows them having fun "at work" 😃. This also applies to their other content too. Dunno what they had in their morning tea/coffee but I want that too 😂

Good choice. Welcome to the world of female metal band. Well, Lovebites Band Maid and Babymetal are waiting for you.

[@nocturnal277]

Good reaction. Check out their song "Oiran", so you can observe her vocals & screams in a live performance. It's a kinda studio rehearsal video.

[@Memento_Mori]

I've had a bunch of suggestions for Oiran, I'll definitely be doing that.

[@Malady]

A couple suggestions for Japanese bands: NEMOPHILA - "Oiran". One of their best and shows how Mayu can switch between vocals styles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rFY4GqhdyWrsU BAND-MAID - "Blooming". More rock than metal, Saiki's vocals aren't super high pitched like most Japanese female singers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4bXkH14gtSWga8 BABYMETAL - " Legend of 1997 Headbanger". The original kawaii metal band, Su is considered a goddess by many: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bWgJSDl7N5rdk

[@SocialNetwooky]

In the case of Band-Maid, why not go for their latest live clip "No God" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHLHiKF_h896l80 )instead? They are best live! Also of course Lovebites is missing (and Ningen Isu, Bridear, Mutant Monster, Fategear, .... and I'm definitely missing some ;)

[@Memento_Mori]

I know Babymetal already, so a reaction wouldn't be very genuine. I will add Band Maid to the list though. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@Ephem13]

@@Memento_Mori You won't be disappointed with Band-Maid, they have tons of talent (their rhythm section is out this world) but smart enough to keep things more catchy vs. showy. For me, they are to J-rock what Nemophila is to J-metal.

[@Memento_Mori]

I haven't heard of that band yet! I'll check them out for sure.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Thank you for reacting to my favorite band! Their originals are metal but their covers are pop to rock to metal because they can play any genre... frickin well!

[@twrciv]

I have heard some high pitch screams from Jill Janus and Maria Brink, but this girl must be new record.

[@Memento_Mori]

Yeah, she's something else.

[@dusanpokrajcic]

Next two bands to check are Band maid and Lovebites. Band maid is hard rock band, with many other elements like metal, pop punk and funk. Song to listen: Domination, Freedom, Play (all live). Lovebites is power/heavy/trash metal band, some songs are pure power metal, but mostly, their music is like modernised 80's heavy and trash metal (Iron maiden, Judas priest, Metallica, Slayer...). Songs: Holy war, Thunder vengeance (live), Glory to the world, Winds of Transylvania (MV). Cheers

[@Memento_Mori]

Lovebites is coming soon! I had a lot of people suggest it.

[@SocialNetwooky]

The best reaction are videos are those where the song is analysed. Gratz on a great reaction video :) And yeah .. Nemophila are awesome and I'm completely enthralled by Mayu's voice. Her clean "tone"is warm, full and, as you said, gritty and her screams are perfect. And the rest of the band is just phenomenal. As Malady said, you might want to check out Band Maid. More Punk/Hard Rock than Nemophila, although it's hard to classify them really. Band Maid plays mostly Band Maid music :D Try either their latest (online-live) clip "No God" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHLHiKF_h896l80 ), or one of the MVs for "After-Life" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH6yp3aheNatlbc ) or "Warning" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6qnZHynp7Gnhs0 ) Those are all songs from their latest album "Unseen World". Or just search for "Band Maid LIve Shibuya" and click on any official clip ;)

[@Memento_Mori]

Thanks! I try to analyze a little and keep things entertaining without being too long-winded. I might do more breakdown videos in the future about songs I already know and love but I'm super grateful that people are liking these reactions. I'll definitely check out Band Maid.

[@J-22Concepts]

Great reaction. Nemophila is an up and coming band from japan and they are great, please also check out their other songs Oiran, Life & Monsters. I also highly suggest you checkout LOVEBITES, another all girl metal band from Japan. Their live videos are a must watch because believe it or not, they are better live. I recommend their songs Holy War, Rising, Break the wall ( live at Zepp - Diver City, Tokyo ) or any song of them that you can find as they don't have a bad song. They are such world class musicians IMHO and deserve much more recognition than what they are currently getting. Keep up the great work & stay safe man!

[@Memento_Mori]

Thank you! I've got a bunch of recommendations for Lovebites and more Nemophila songs, they're definitely all going to show up on the channel at some point. Welcome to the channel!

[@JFrancoDrums]

This band is very versatile, they hit you with a song like this and thentotally switch tempo and mood and give you something different! Still kind of a new band, hopefully a full album soon! Check out their song RAITEI. Also check tou power/thrash metal band LOVEBITES - Holy War or Break the Wall, both live in 2020!

I'll be reacting to both soon!

[@204pjfaherty]

You've just opened the flood gates with Nemophila. Now add bands like Band-Maid and Lovebites and Aldios among other very talented female Japanese bands. Then take a look at what the boys in Japan can do. (Crossfaith, Deviloof, X Japan, Galneryus) :)

[@Memento_Mori]

Oh, I'm going to be in a Japanese metal rabbit hole for months after this.

[@yakidin63]

You could check out when Nemophila does Linkin Park Given up with the famous 17 second scream. Mayu does a great job on this one.

[@Darth.Fluffy]

If you like the mix of clean and scream, check out Doll$boxx. The lead singer, Fuki, from Unlucky Morpheus (great metal), joins with most of Gacharic Spin (great hard pop) to form a really good pop/punk/metal (ish) band.

[@Memento_Mori]

I've gotten a bunch of requests for them, I'll definitely be reacting to Doll$boxx soon.

[@allanmoger1838]

Yes, she said "go hard", she also said "I hate you, hate you!!". There are lyrics around somewhere, about 60% are English, pretty much all of the screams in fact, it's very anti-establishment, very rock and roll, or at least how it's meant to be. Mayu has been working on her vocal techniques so she can do a whole set and sound as good at the end as at the beginning. Her improvement over the last 18 months has been wonderful to see. She's worked hard and it's paid off in spades. Exactly how she does it? I don't know, but I'm glad she does. :) For their track Oiran or the BABYMETAL Megitsune cover, those are just out and out bone chilling screams. Only a couple but they add far more to the songs than you'd think. 6/19 Nemophila have an online live. It's time delayed so they can do some fan participation and make sure it sounds as good as Saki wants it to. The first part will be free on KZbin - check out their channel to find details.

[@Memento_Mori]

I'll definitely tune in to the livestream, thanks for the info!

[@ううー]

Thank you for the reaction. I hope you like NEMOPHILA.

[@Memento_Mori]

[@hiawatha.g]

The gang vocals show they don't take themselves seriously-Hazuki even winks. If you watch them enough, you will get a clear sense that they are enjoying a private joke. Like "Yeah, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off". Nemophila 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 They tend toward hard and heavy, but also do ballads and some pop covers. After Oiran, others to check include“Raitei”, which means “Thunder” in Japanese, and yes, they bring the thunder: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opmQlYmCgLVmZ5Y Other than Saki, none of them had previously been with a breakout band, despite having amazing chops. Getting these five together did the trick-they are just exploding. Nemophila’s youtube channel: kzbin.info/door/voAeGZoC8giXP59NOZABIAvideos
