No time spent on Nemophila is ever wasted. Japan holds the future of Metal, and *all-female* bands (Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, Hagane) took the lead. "Sooo killin'..." 😊 🤘

[@RambergReacts]

Great to know! My next in this category will be a LOVEBITES reaction 🌟🕊️

A lot of Momma's here! Mayu (lead singer) has a 2 year old, and the drummer, Tamu, has 2 toddlers!

[@RambergReacts]

Got to love them momma's! I happy to hear that actually- nothing like cool and powerful working moms ❤️

@@RambergReacts Must be awesome for the kids to say "My mom is the drummer of an awesome all-female Metal band, and the coolest mom in the world." 😁😊

Welcome to Nemophila, my favorite of the Japanese bands. Formed in 2019 when lead vocalist ,Mayu, needed a backing band for a live session. She called her former classmate, bassist Hariguchi-san. They found Tamu Murata, a highly in demand session drummer. And guitarists Saki (red and black dress) and Hazuki. Named after a flower because they are all female. A nemophila is a blue and white 5 petal flower, native primarily to the American west. Saki decided to leave the band in early 2024, they are continuing as a 4 piece, with solos more of guitar/bass, and with Mayu playing some guitar. 3 full albums with Saki, and a 4th on the way, the first as a 4 piece. "Revive" is the title track to the 2021 1st album. Their 1st ever single was "Oiran". Lead single to the upcoming album is "G.O.D." Btw, there is only 1 "i" in the band's name, Nemoph-i-l-a.

[@RambergReacts]

OMG! Thank you for being so observant! I kind of violated the name- I have change it now! It will be exciting to see if the 4th album can deliver as the 3 first. Thank you so much for your comment, for your warm welcome and the add info on this band! I'm breathing in a paper-bag after my failure 😅✨🫶🏻❤️

Nemophila - "baby blue eyes" flower, "Rurikarakusa" in Japanese; grows in N-America and is appreciated in Japan (see "Hitachi Seaside Park"). The band was formed in 2019, originally as a "session" brought together by... Mayu - the vocalist (ex- Lipstick band); Haraguchi-san - (ex- HöLDERLINS band) bass, backing vocals, was Mayu's friend and colleague from Music College; Tamu Murata - drums, backing vocals, one the most respected session musician in Japan (countless bands), with also her own original carrier; she's also the wife of Akira Yamaoka, musician/composer, known especially for his videogames OSTs, in particular for "Silent Hill"; Saki (ex - "Mary's Blood" band for a decade, "Destrose", and others), she's a "young sacred monster" in J-metal) guitar, backing vocals, and... Hazuki (KOIAI "Dark Indigo" / Li-sa-X, Disqualia bands) - guitar, backing vocals; both, Saki and Hazuki have a lot of experience. Unfortunately, Saki left the band in march 2024, after the Budokan concert, thinking that her contribution was enough after more than 4-5 years, pursuing her - successful - solo carrier, and then she became a member of Like〜an〜Angel band. The band continues in the 4 members form, with Mayu starting to add guitar bits while Haraguchi-san's bass, and Hazuki's guitar becomes more prominent. Nemophila, with their self-declared "Jigoku no Yurufuwa" (soft and fluffy hell) general metal-rock style, made an amazing fandom impression during the pandemic, thru KZbin clips... ...so far about 50 Western/Japanese awesomely bonkers covers, and about 40 original, freakishly insane good songs (singles, EPs - including the JPURecords' Extended Edition of "Oiran", 3 albums - "Revive", "Seize The Faith", "Evolve"; EP - "Beautiful Days"). New album "Apple of my eye" for January 2025 (10 songs, containing the 3 from "Beautiful Days" EP; see all of them, down, in discography). Discography, alphabetical order: 01. ADABANA - 徒花 - "Fruitless/seedless flower" 02. AKAKAGACHI - 赤加賀智 03. ALIVE 04. AMA-TE-RAS (Amaterasu goddess) 05. Anatadare - アナタダレ (Who are you?) 06. Another Story (ballad) 07. A Ray Of Light 08. Back into the wild 09. Beautiful Days (ballad) 10. Blooming 11. BRAINWASH 12. Breaking Out 13. Burn It 14. Change the World 15. Creature 16. DISSENSION 17. Enigma 18. ENTEN - 炎天 - "Scorching/blazing heat/sun" 19. ERROR DETECTION 20. Fighter 21. GAME OVER (ballad) 22. G.O.D. - "Groundbreakers of Destiny" (first original song as 4 members) 23. Good as hell quartet 24. Hammer Down 25. Hōzuki - 鬼灯 - "Demon Light" - "Winter cherry" / "Japanese lantern" plant 26. HYPNOSIS 27. Just do it! 28. Justice 29. Life (ballad - their "official anthem") 30. MONSTERS 31. Night Flight (electro-rock song, one of their firsts, used as half-time breakout) 32. now I here (ballad) 33. ODYSSEY (ballad) 34. OIRAN - "Courtesan" (their first original song, in february 2020) 35. OSKR - "OShiKuRa manju" (children's song-game of pushing outside of a circle) 36. PROGRESS 37. RAITEI - 雷霆 - "Thunder" 38. REVIVE 39. RISE 40. Rock’n’Roll Is? (an homage to famous rock bands/artists; the lyrics/melody and style of play are Easter Eggs) 41. Rollin’Rollin’ 42. Seize the Fate 43.

ZEN ________ Unreleased songs on CDs: - Another Story... written during the COVID pandemic, with the purpose of lifting the spirit; performed only once on stage for a live stream at the end of December 2020... but - according to Saki - "it's part of 'Cheer to Art, Tokyo Project' (started by Tokyo Metropolitan Government to offer place for artists to upload their work...since all lives, concerts, events and exhibitions had been suspended, all venues had been closed"; was posted on KZbin, on this governmental channel: アートにエールを!【音楽 1ch】; although is no longer there, there are some reactions to it, just search "NEMOPHILA / AnotherStory". It's also kept on WebArchive: watch?v=WWSFd4N4pjU - Creature, Breaking Out... released only on Revive (It's Sooooo Nice To Finally Meet You!!!!!) Blu-ray; they are performed sometimes in concerts; Breaking Out... released during their first live stream in 2020, and Rizing Nemo in 2023; - Blooming... released only on the official Nemophila KZbin channel, and performed sometimes in concerts. - Ultramarine/Gunjō performed in the second part of the 19 June 2021 stream.

@@RambergReacts 6 of them are still on the "Apple of my eye" album to be released on January 22nd (the other 4 song are released).. and like I've said in the text, there are 5 that have been never released on CD. So at least you got 38 out of 49. PS - Nemophila is "a box of chocolate, never know what to expect" from them. Best band for me.

This is 'Ace Of Spades' for the 21st century! 🤘🤘If I had to name my 3 favourite all-female Japanese Rock and Metal bands, it would be Band-Maid, Nemophila and Lovebites. I just checked your reactions and was amazed you haven't seen the incredibly awesome Metal maestros Lovebites so gotta recommend them to you (and you will love their outfits!). Nemophila make great music videos but they kill it live too - their live mv of Revive is superb.

[@RambergReacts]

Wow- that's a brave statement! 😅It seems like I have to do Lovebites next as everyone is telling me the same about them. I'm a slow reaction learner that dig deep into a band instead of shuffeling. I must shuffle the bands more. This is the way! ✨🫶🏻❤️🕊️

Comenzaste el año con la energía maravillosa de Nemophila! Este será un gran año para ti querida, mucho gusto quedo suscrito! Te advierto que esta banda no es cualquier banda, ya te darás cuenta por ti misma! Tuvieron una gran baja pero se repondrán, eso espero! Es que falta una guitarrista para que estén completas. Falta Saki, la más impresionante de todas las guitarristas! 😎🫶

[@jaedo6180]

Great job, Tom! I usually suggest this one, too, for an intro to the bamd! However, I've been going with 'G.O.D.' lately. Check it out. It's a newer track. They're no longer a 5 piece since one of the guitarists left. If you want more women, that absolutely kick-a$$ and shred on their instruments. Lovebites 'Soldier Stands Solitarily' official live!🤘

[@RambergReacts]

Tom worked for it 😅 Thank you so much for the suggestion! It’s always great to hear what tracks fans recommend as an introduction-it really shows how much thought and passion you have for the band. 🙌✨ I appreciate the heads-up about "G.O.D." and the changes in their lineup-it sounds like an exciting track to check out! And as for Lovebites, so many people have been recommending them-I think it’s definitely a sign to explore their music soon. Women who shred on their instruments are always a win! ✨🫶🏻❤️

[@jaedo6180]

​@@RambergReactsALL the rock/metal that I listen to presently are women, and from Japan! The word you were looking for was kawaii metal, cute metal. Technically this isnt kawaii metal, but obviously they're all kawaii!😂

Northeastern Japan snows just as much as Norway. Japan buys a lot of salmon from Norway. Both countries love metal music. Peopl like very much to visit and vacation in each other's beautiful countries.

[@RambergReacts]

Yes, but Japan doesn’t have the darkness that we have. The winter-depressions in Norway hits the people hard. And salmon was added to sushi when Japan started to import sushi. Norway loves Japan and Japan loves Norway for sure 🇯🇵🇳🇴

Great songs that show the softer side of Nemophila. 'Ama-Te-Ras' is a quite unique 'groovy metal' song and one of their best as well. ‘G.O.D.’ is one of their newest song and 1st song as a 4-piece band And don't miss their many covers...they are all great as well!

Nightwish has always been my number one and NEMOPHILA is close second for many years... and if you like symphonic metal, you might heard of HAGGARD, a band from Germany but if you haven't, try listen to Awaking The Centuries (live in Wacken tend to be a safe bet -copyright wise-). Unlike Nightwish that engaged with many orchestras, HAGGARD is a band that itself consists of whole orchestra as the band members.

[@RambergReacts]

I love it when everything comes together. I will most def check out HAGGARD, so thank you for your recommendation! Sound like the perfect song and venue to react from. I love the name HAGGARD as it feel like Harry Potter meets Game Of Thrones😇✨🫶🏻❤️

Hi from France: Happy New Year to you too! Nemophila, just like LOVEBITES or Band Maid, or Hagane or ASTERISM or SOKONINARU, etc... is an organic group that came together through affinities between "Real" female musicians, while on the contrary, Baby Metal is the product of an industrial-musical management, an "Idol band"... Historically, it is certain however, that Baby Metal allowed the opening to the world of the window on the Japanese rock movement and more particularly to the enormous and fantastic wave of Japanese female rock. Enjoy!

[@RambergReacts]

Happy New Year, France! 🎆🪄 Thank you for sharing such an insightful comment! It’s amazing to learn about how bands like Nemophila, Lovebites, Band-Maid, Hagane, ASTERISM, and SOKONINARU came together through genuine connections between real female musicians. Their authenticity and talent truly shine through. Thank you for your perspective-it’s much appreciated! 💖🙏🏻

[@garykeeling2275]

Just to clarify, BABYMETAL is an actual group, not a genre. Their genre is "kawaii metal." Nemophila is not kawaii metal, but most of their music is in the nu metal or metalcore genres, so really the only thing Nemophila has in common with the ladies of BABYMETAL is that they are female, metal, and Japanese.

[@RambergReacts]

Got it! But it’s also another word for the genre that I learned, but forgot again, from Band-Maid😅

[@markspencer3680]

You said you listen to Band Maid, so do a reaction to their collaboration with a band called The Warning. Song is called Show Them. Or just do The Warning Dust to Dust live at the Pepsi Center.
