MIND BLOWN! First time EVER reacting to NEMOPHILA / DISSENSION [Official Music Video]

[@tonygriffin_]

THE best Metal band out there. All their MV's are superb and they are excellent live. Great musicians. Great reaction.

[@DivergentReactions]

Thanks Tony - Fresh off the press this evening and I couldn't wait to upload it!

[@tonygriffin_]

@@DivergentReactions The next video that appeared at the end was Adabana, which is their latest release. It's even better! As is the Revive MV. Great reaction and look forwarrd to more.

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

@@tonygriffin_. Is'nt their latest release the song 'Style'?

[@tonygriffin_]

@@kent-oveprestberg3578 Oh yeah! Forgot about that! It's about my least fave song of theirs so maybe my subconscious blocked it and put in their brilliant penultimate song, Adabana. Thanks for the correction.

[@realdocloco]

The speechless effect - classic Nemophila first reaction 😄. They're special aren't they? And yes, react to the next song - "Adabana" is amazing too (but very different!)

[@DivergentReactions]

Yes! I'm still speechless now I think!!! Adabana is on my watch list so I'll be reacting to that for sure!

More Nemo goodies "Raitei", "Hypnosis" and "Adabana" for starters

[@albertbraun3401]

Hazuki, one of the Guitarists, is also a Member of the Li-sa-X Band, which is also incredible. You should listen to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHfblYqInKerg8k

[@Muzicman2112]

This is one group I love! Mayu’s voice is so unique! I never cared about music that growls until I heard Nemophila! After seeing them live I took some pictures and framed them on my wall! Gonna see them at Aftershock

[@DivergentReactions]

I have bands like that where they're nothing like what i would ever listen to normally. That's the best thing about doing a reaction channel is discovering all this music I didn't know existed!

[@LostAgain1970]

​@@DivergentReactions I have an ace up my sleeve, another group you simply have to check out. It's a, what to call them without saying too much? A genleman group, a trio from Japan. Legends in Japan somehow. Formed in 1987. Totally unknown to me until a few months ago. The band's name is Ningen Isu and the name translates to "the human chair"... The name comes from a book, if I remember correctly? Anyway, the songs to start with are Namahage, Toshishun and Heartless Scat. Choose in any order you want. All three are amazing!

[@brunobryant4846]

An absolute powerhouse of a band and like Band Maid part of the chemistry comes from what seems like a real rock and roll sisterhood, makes western stale male cock rock look very tepid indeed , peace and love Po 👍🎼🥁🎤🎸🍻

[@DivergentReactions]

I feel the same way about Mexico's The Warning too, there's a great generation of super talented rock bands coming through to dominate!

[@DragonPhlyy]

What Nemophila songs should you react to? All of them they are all amazing. Adabana and revive are good next choices. .

[@DivergentReactions]

Thanks Dragon both on my watch list!

nemophila is one of the fast rising new bands recently, their members are all from different bands, high level musicians and musical diversity are their characteristics, You can hear a different genre or element in each of their songs. 🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

[@DivergentReactions]

I love it when bands are like this and so versatile but still keep their original sound. The fact they're from different bands too shows as they are almost a supergroup in that way!

[@rakjr6]

This band started out as a "jam session for Mayu". Mayu was the singer Sally in the rock band Lipstick but wanted to try something new. They liked the chemistry and in late 2019 formed the band. Then came COVID. They are all veterans, Saki (with red guitar) was in the metal band Mary"s Blood. They did their 1st US show in LA. Mayu is a vocal chameleon. The did a cover of a Maximum the Hormone song which had 3 vocalists (2 male, 1 female) Mayu sang all 3.

[@musicaconqueror5477]

Saki doesn't play his red Killer KG-Fascist here. Here she plays on a black Killer KG-Fascinator Seven the Empress, signed by herself.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The drummer sang the the parts of the female drummer from MtH. At least in Zetsubo Billy. It was funny because it was completely unnecessary. Mayu could have easily done it or anyone else. But the drummer sang it to be authentic. :) I think it's interesting to look at Nemophila from the perspective of the drummer. She did nothing but solo drum covers for years. Then she's working with 1 person. Then a full band. Then she's in Nemophila. I don't think it was all about Mayu. Their drummer also has a huge KZbin channel. She did tons of drum covers and has 220k subscribers. What did they do during the lockdown? Covers for KZbin. She has several drum covers near 10 million views. Entirely for a Japanese audience. Not a word of English and almost all Japanese song. Excellent Slipknot cover snuck in there though. Not one of her popular videos. But it's fantastic. Here it is. It's fantastic. This is what their drummer was doing years before Nemophila. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJi5oomIbsyph8U

[@roimerlopez1275]

Amazing reaction my friend!!....You are the right person to make a reaction video and give us your opinion about this incredible singer...In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just it was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coachs, singers, musicians, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because your channel will explode with an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHW7ZHmeot6Bl8U

[@DivergentReactions]

Thank you I'll give it a listen!

[@danw6048]

As has been said, Nemophila first got together in the late summer of 2019. A young vocalist named Mayu was seeking to put together some musicians so she could really figure out the types of songs she can sing. She had a friend named Haraguchisan who played bass but she needed a drummer and guitarist. Both of them had recently left minor bands that were struggling. Mayu decided to approach a well respected and very talented guitarist for help. That guitarist was Saki who at the time was the founder of a well known all female band called Mary's Blood. Unknown to Mayu, Mary's Blood was on its last legs so Saki had the time and desire to do something new for awhile. Mayu suddenly had one of the best guitarists in Japan. Even better Saki brought in Tamu Murata, a great session drummer, and Hazuki, a guitarist who had been in a short-lived but well-known all female band called Disqualia. Nemophila has been called a supergroup because of these three, especially Saki. The five clicked so well that they decided to turn themselves into a permanent band. Mayu went from just looking for musicians for a temporary project to being part of a band with some of the most talented musicians in Japan. As for Mary's Blood, their most recent album was not a hit and the band, after a few farewell performances, formally ended in April. Saki can now fully concentrate on Nemophila. With Saki piloting the ship, Nemophila will continue to do very, very well. I think the next song you should experience is their live performance of Oiran, which is their first original song. Oiran (live) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2q5gmyqoLyeqbM

[@Jordan-Ramses]

This story isn't wrong. But their drummer was a beast before Nemophila. Check out her Slipknot cover. Her KZbin channel was huge. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJi5oomIbsyph8U Also young vocalist? She's 27. Ado was in highschool. Nemophila is a PROFESSIONAL band. It's no accident they are great together. They are all great individually. They are all industry veterans. It's not some random collection of young girls looking for their first chance. That isn't their story at all.

[@waterwalker9600]

Incredible convergence of talent...all of them are Aces, but together this band is unstoppable. MAYU's whistle-tone fry scream and the way she switches it on an off with this band's sound really sets NEMOPHILA apart. The chemistry this band has with one another, and their charisma is the secret sauce that is launching this band into the stratosphere. 🌸✨🌠

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

I dont like scream and fry til Mayu, she is the only one I love screaming at me. love this song and this band.

[@DivergentReactions]

I'm the same as you and prefer a traditional vocal mostly, BUT, when it's done well, the screaming hits the spot!

[@TehPhysics]

You seemed to like the genre mixing in this song, so I'm gonna recommend a band that blend quite a few genres, and masterfully -- Hanabie (ha-nah-bee-eh). They are an all female band (of course) from Japan. Their style is the self-proclaimed Harajukucore. Check out their song 'We Love Sweets'. It's 2 minutes 30 seconds of intense "WTF just happened?!".

[@not-so-great-oldone9780]

Can’t leave out Gacharic Spin on that note as well.

[@LostAgain1970]

I would also suggest him to react to Hanabie - We love Sweets. I want to see if the reaction will be the same as everyone else's? It's kind a fun to see the confusion.

[@DivergentReactions]

Gacharic Spin reaction dropping tomorrow - You're not gonna want to miss that one!

[@DivergentReactions]

I'll have to check out Hanabie now they sound awesome! Having been to Harajuku I'm imagining what Harajukucore sounds like in my head!

[@peterdaniels7287]

this was their 3rd official single

[@DivergentReactions]

That's impressive considering how early in their career they are!

[@allanmoger1838]

Nothing Nemophila do is bad, every original song they have on KZbin will put a smile on your face. The “loose and fluffy band with the sounds from hell” are not to be pigeonholed, so if you do it lottery style, you never quite know what you’re gonna get. Their first original track is Oiran and the best version online is live from Naon Yaon. Thank me later. Another shout for Hanabie. You *MAY* be ready now. lol They are the essence of Harajukucore, which is what happens when girl’s J-Metal meets Harajuku and there is a resulting supernova. “We Love Sweets” is their calling card but they are everything in that song and video amplified to 11. They haven’t released a bad song either. Be warned, they are as addictive as the sweets they love…

[@DivergentReactions]

Allan you're in for a treat with my Hanabie reaction! It's sat in my drafts waiting for the right time to post it, but it's coming soon!

[@ebm-everythingbutmainstream]

Now you already know Band-Maid, Lovebites and Nemophila. You will find many female (or female dominated) bands in Japan. The most important (afaik) are: - Lovebites (checked!) - Band-Maid (checked!) - Nemophila (checked!) - Asterism But you should also check out bands like: - Unlucky Morpheus - Mary's Blood - Rie a.k.a. Suzaku - Aldious - Bridear - Ningen Isu - Bray Me - Broken By The Scream - Show-Ya - LoVendoЯ - Cyntia - Drop's - Whiskey Dust - Sokoninaru - Yosei Teikoku - Ironbunny - Waggaki Band - Telecide - Babymetal - Ladybaby - Passcode - Scandal - Saiseiga - Hanabie - Tokyo Groove Jyoshi - Trident - Zettai Club - Cinq Element - Cluppo - D_Drive - Doll$Boxx - Fate Gear - Gacharic Spin - Glim Spanky - Hagane - Kiyoshi ....and many more, but I think this will do for the start. Have fun during the next few months! OH! And don´t forget: "The Warning" from Mexico "The Fix" "Rolling Quartz" and "Leenzy" from South Korea "Dea Matrona" from Ireland "Larkin Poe" & "Haim" from The US "Nightwish" from Finland "The Hu" from Mongolia "Voice of Baceprot" from Indonesia "Jinjer" from Ukraine...and last but not least...

I am absolutely certain that this band will be the next big thing from Japan. This group of girls are talented musicians and great songwriters. Bassist Haraguchi-san is slightly different in songwriting from the others and makes this band even more diverse. Her two songs she has written so far are Hypnosis and their latest song Style. Both are fantastic. In this video you say at the end "maybe I should react to this song?" and I definitely say yes! Adabana is the name of the song and special to me. It is one of their masterpieces.

[@DivergentReactions]

Thanks Lost Again - Reaction for Adabana is definitely on its way for sure! I love it when bands write in different styles, reminds me of bands like The Beatles or Queen, it really adds to the sound of the band overall!

little hint: switch off youtube's autoplay feature and you'll be able to let videos run until the end without having to worry about it going into something else right away! also: please check Nemophila out live! Mayu (vocals) actually sounds more powerfull live in my opinion. Somehow, Japanese producers seem to have a thing for slightly overproducing metal music which means that the live versions will often sound more dynamic. I suggest their song "Oiran" live at Naon no Yaon festival.

Much better band than Lovebites. Also Lovebites fans are crazy. :) I like the band fine...but their fans are the worst. They put down every other band and act superior.

[@DivergentReactions]

I guess every band has its passionate fans - I'm a bit like that with my favourite band Manic Street Preachers and I know their fanbase can also get protective too. It's easy to forget sometimes there's no one best! Personally Nemophila is more to my musical taste (I prefer the darker, riffier sound of the guitars) but I see the appeal in them all as they're all super talented musicians in all the bands!

[@Jordan-Ramses]

@@DivergentReactions I hear some Polyphia in their guitars. It seems obvious to me that they made a decision to go for a modern sound. Their previous bands didn't sound like that. But if you're a real musician you can play a lot of different kinds of music. I also feel like if you're a vocalist you should be versatile like Mayu. If you're not playing an instrument you should be able to sing a lot of different styles. Like Corey Taylor. Or Ado. Have you heard Ado yet? She's fantastic. She doesn't sing 3 words in a row in the same vocal style. (Slight exaggeration)
