Nemophila - Adabana REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@jessecatron8225]

This song is a masterpiece. My favorite from Nemophila. The bridge is amazing. Saki wrote some superb lyrics. Mayu is unreal. Tamu is ridiculously talented.

[@BlazinNSoul]

Another great Nemophila reaction here. This band along with Lovebites are really becoming the two most significant Destrose allumi post Mary's Blood I have seen. I am also happy Captain Mina is finally finding new success now with Fate Gear as well. No doubt Destrose will be her biggest contribution, but what an epic contribution at that!! Love Nemophila as they just keep getting better. 🤘🔥🎸🔥

[@kawliga4845]

Great reaction David. This is my favorite band these days. Seen them live and was cool to hear this live too. I love all their songs great musicians and can probably play anything honestly. Out of all their great songs this is one of the top if not their best yet. It is in my top three of my favorites from them and like I said I have enjoyed every song they have made.

[@michaelthain4488]

Great review man been following this band since day one, as prior to that I had been following the two elder members (relatively speaking) for a few years prior to this band forming, namely Saki, one of my top 4 favourite guitarists, and the drummer the fantastic Murata Tamu

[@michaelthain4488]

Oh and props to Saki who wrote the lyrics which to me seem full of meaning and buddhist philosopy on impermenance

[@KenlieroGames]

You like heavy? I am sure you would like "Hypnosis" from them too. It is probably my favorite song from them. It is the most unique song from them. Heavy and melodic at the same time, with some special oriental flavor.

[@joeseconi250]

Saw them do this LIVE and I was blown away. BTW that was one of the loudest shows I have ever seen. It hurt so good. Absolutely love this band.

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

I saw them in NYC and it was the loudest show I have ever been to. The stagehands had to keep resetting the equipment because it was moving around so much due to the bass. Can't wait to see them again. BTW, like all good bands they are better live, trust me. Peace.

[@joeseconi250]

@@Daniel_Colavecchio I was at the NYC show also, I had so much fun but for real the bass was thunderous. I was the guy from Fox running around before the show with the camera doing interviews with fans.

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

@@joeseconi250 We met in line before the concert and have crossed paths on KZbin comments before. I was in the VIP section right near the stage and it was crazy. I like going to the Gramercy for shows but I live outside of the city so it's an effort. Catch you at another show hopefully.

[@joeseconi250]

@@Daniel_Colavecchio Are you going to Baby Metal or the Hanabie show? I'll be at both

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

@@joeseconi250 No to Hanabie and I am seeing BABYMETAL in CT and Boston, not NYC this time. Upset Band Maid bypassed the Northeast this past tour. Keep in touch. Peace.

[@AngelLWJ]

Great score! One of my top 3 nemophila songs🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

[@snakewhisperer1]

This one is my favorite of theirs. Enjoyed the reaction. The first time I saw the video, I thought to myself: "Yeah, Hazuki's doing that overhand tapping to show off for the camera". Then I saw a clip of them performing this song live at the whiskey and she pulled it off on stage. Much respect!

[@kawliga4845]

for sure yes she can do it anytime she wants. Though the last couple streams and even the 4th anniversary she just tapped it from normal. but she can do it just like she does it on this MV. Love this band since before their first album when I started following them . I knew how good Saki and Hazuki are and of course the rest of the band. But when I first saw this video when it was released I laughed when she did that. I thought the same thing now you are just showing off haha.

[@johndreessen7335]

Great reaction. Great song. Certainly worth your score. My favorite Nemophila song at this moment. They have lots of styles. Always writing something different. Its always a surprise with what they do next. They have to tour Europe. Maybe together with LoveBites. That would be nice. Need to see them live. Thanks for this reaction.

[@billb.5183]

Oh boy. It's the dreaded "Official Music Video" from the "Official KZbin channel". Dave Heretic's kryptonite. 🤣 Definitely my favorite song from them. 😀

[@tonygriffin_]

You (just before that incredible drum breakdown): "I want to say this is my favourite but we haven't finished the whole song yet." Me (knowing what's coming) "Mr Heretic definitely has a new favourite Nemophila song." 🤘🤘Have you tried their newest MV for their song 'RISE'? I think you'll like that one just a bit too. Great analysis as ever.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Love this song and your review of it. I agree with your 70/30 of melodic/growls, scream.

[@DannCV]

Hiii !! I'm Dantsune in patreon jeje and i´m sooo happy to watch this video and that you liked it a lot, personally is one of my favorite songs of Nemophila and even enters my personal top, is super complete! and just as you mention, the instrumental part was great! the "slowing down in the tempo and lowering the melody" (which also scared me xd) and see how it was built and progressing to the final part uff!! a gem hahaha Anyway thank you very much for the video and I'm glad you liked it! big greeting from Mexico! /o/

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the reaction we've all been waiting for😂 Edit "I've never heard the heaviness, not like this." Oh David, just wanna pinch that rosy cheek of yours and mention, just wait till you hear Seize The Fate, Zen, Into The Wild. You've just finally found the sweet spot 🤘😎🤘

[@ooobydoob3786]

been my favorite song by my favorite band since it came out, so your thoughts are spot on

[@krauser3885]

It's also my favorite song from them (tied with 'Enten'), I had a feeling you would enjoy this one too.

[@MaartenT]

I am pretty sure their idea behind the"instrumental section" was to give the drummer tamu some sort of "solo" or "spotlight" part. I personally love that whole section even though the actual guitar parts are relatively short. Always nice to see bands giving the drummer or bassist their time to shine as well. This is not my favourite Nemophila track, but it's certainly pretty close to the top.

[@santi141414]

This was my favorite Nemophila song until I'd heard their song called Rise, now Adabana is my 2nd favorite and is a total masterpiece, the feel like you say is Anthemic, and the lyrics are so beautiful. Can't wait for your reaction for Rise

[@obud3777]

SAKI !!! SAKI !!! SAKI !!! 🎸🔥🤘

[@joeseconi250]

Saiki is a force of nature, one of favorite guitarists.

[@chriso6719]

Love this song. Yes, it's different from all the Nemophila originals you have done to this point. Those were all off their 1st album, Revive. Adabana was released as a single in June 2022 ,after that 1st record, and included on the 2nd album ,Seize the Fate, which was released in December 2022. And , iirc, lead singer Mayu was pregnant at the time. From what you played of Soliwork, I have to agree they are similar, but Adabana has a little bit more in there, at least that's what my non-musician ears hear.

[@tkmetal3788]

出た～‼️ 9.2高スコア🎉 おめでとうございます✨ ネモフィラを誇らしく思います❤ DAVIDさんに気に入って貰えて嬉しいです。 ありがとうございました👍🔥

[@Glynthepin]

Now you know why Nemophila have become many peoples favourite band, in such a relatively short space of time. The variety in their songs is first class. One of the issues you have, is that you don't want to listen to any bands album releases because of your channel. In that way, you miss out on many excellent songs and only know the requested songs to your channel. This is probably many people's favourite Nemophila song, to date. I agree with you about the mix of Mayu's vocal. For me, some of their songs contain too much grit and growl but this song is perfect. It is so good to see you gush over the Nemophila ladies after your initial reserved review to Oiran. I tend to gush over most Japanese lady bands, so it is good to know that I am not alone. 😀

[@hazardouswaste08]

go watch the live version. it is IMPRESSIVE. absolutely my favorite when i saw them earlier this year.

[@schelin1447]

Absolutely one of my favorite NEMOPHILA songs....the doomy part in the middle! Great song!

[@wickeddummy]

Thanks for your reaction, so happy that you really loved it 👍🙂 Like for many others, this is my favourite song of NEMOPHILA 🤘🤗 I love the instrumentals and the singing (mix of clean and growl voice). I know you're not a fan of lyrics, but they are also great, positive and motivating 😊 "Adabana" refers to any flower which doesn't bear fruit or as a metaphor for something that is meaningless or fails to meet its fullest potential. (Btw, their name is pronounced like Ne-MOU-phi-la)

[@bocatampere]

Amazing band. Amazing song. They are so close to perfection than ever can be. Lovin’ it 🤘🔥❤️🇫🇮

[@robbysrs86]

I'm surprised nobody told you this yet, but their name is pronounced Nemo-Feel-ah. Love your reactions. Keep on rockin 🤘

[@SamuelR007]

He knows. He's pretty much committed to saying it his way on purpose.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I've had 9 different pronunciations thrown at me, and all of them claim to be "correct". So who am I supposed to believe??? Which one am I supposed to use??? I'll use one of them, and then people using the other 8 will all tell me "You're still saying it wrong". So until I hear it DIRECTLY from the band members THEMSELVES (through a video or an interview, I don't care what it is), I'll stick to how Translate is pronouncing it.

[@taz2491]

​@@THEDavidHereticdefinitely my favorite song from them! So glad you liked it too 🤘As for the band's name. Here is a live video from their KZbin. Hope I can share the link as it sometimes disappeares. The live starts around 4:20 pay attention to the introduction ;) ( link is in my comment to this if it lets me :p )

Dude these girls absolutely Rock Nemophila are just absolutely Awsome and the best by far from the Japanese metal scene there live sets, and covers are all EPIC truly EPIC peace from the UK 🇬🇧✌️🤘

[@palominokid3002]

One of their vey best imo !

[@IAMisLove]

👍 She scares me in a good way. 🖖❤

[@radioraffa]

Any Official videos from Nemophila are just fine to react to.. They Encourage it. They are still independent and don't have some corporation controlling their material.

[@andrewvidmar3488]

the reason why i love this girls so much is they dont have to stick with a heavy metal sound their song Style Music Video she raps in their song Night Flight Music Video or Live is a dance type song and their song HynosisMusic Video is like an Egyptian feeling song and all 3 are great that is why i have so much love and respect for these five woman please let me know what you think

[@realdocloco]

Their creativity peak so far for me.

[@christopherscottdempwolf5759]

David, two new great live videos from Nemophila for Seize the Fate and Change the World, both at Tokyo Garden Theater and really high quality. They are getting ready to play Budokan in February!

[@palominokid3002]

David, thanks for your reaction and thoughts - but please, they pronounce their name Ne-Mo-Fila :)

[@eskopikataival430]

Here's a link to video, where the interpreter uses the band name when addressing Mayu and Saki during an interview. The link points to 58s and in a second the band name is pronounced: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5yYaauEiZ6Nmtk. (Not a band member pronouncing the name but pretty close.)

[@norair1010]

This was different. Sorta reminds me of Lovebites in the first half and sounded like Siaki on the second .

[@markspencer3680]

I would love to see them live. Did you do the song Style by Nemophila? It’s a totally different song. A little bit of rap from them.

[@andrewvidmar3488]

i hope someone requests Nemophila Rise Music Video and Seven Spires Gods of Debaunchery Music Video both songs are amazing please let me know what you think

[@TheSlayerking666]

As much as he liked the song I thought he was going to give it a higher score like at least 9.5 or so but 9.2 I will take for a banger of a song from my #3 favorite bans just behind #2 hanabie and #1 gacharic Spin

[@eskopikataival430]

Here's a link to Saki pronouncing the band name twice during the first 13 seconds of the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6jQgouCbsyjqM0

[@sean1728]

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: this band is to J-metal what Band-Maid is to J-rock. Full stop. While I love and appreciate most of the rock/metal coming out of Japan, these ladies manage to encapsulate absolutely everything right with the genre. And while there are a good many bands that do their thing quite well, Nemophila brings everything AND the kitchen sink to both stage and studio. It’s exactly this kind of versatility that sets them atop the musical summit of Fuji-san.

[@BlackArr0w]

Not my favorite song of them, bit still pretty solid! 😊
