Nemophila - Raitei REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@waterwalker9600]

This band scratches an itch the others simply can't. NEMOPHILA and LOVEBITES dominate my Playlist. 🌸✨️🌠

[@santi141414]

My playlist too, well and Band-maid and Sokoninaru. Those 4 bands for me are the best music I've ever heard

[@joeseconi250]

@@santi141414 I totally agree.....I drive my step daughter crazy, she always says don't you like any music in English. lol Honestly she is now a big fan of Nemophila my hard work is paying off.

[@AngelLWJ]

Thank you for your reaction! Nemophila is a great band, they deserve more attention, I hope you will continue to do more reaction of their music, because they are very diverse and interesting band, I highly recommend 《adabana》as the next song🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

[@kawliga4845]

Great reaction and welcome back to Nemophila. Been awhile. This is one of my favorite bands the past few years and it was fun seeing them live last month in Texas. Damn good show. This song kicks ass and it is not even their best. 2 albums out now both top notch with variety. They are all very good musicians and put out great music all the time. Lots of fun to watch them too. They are always full of smiles and having good time. Just a hell of a good metal /rock band and they are only getting better.

[@kycats8700]

This band was my gateway to Japanese female metal. But it’s mainly Saki’s catalog of work with Marys Blood kept me there. Saki, Midori and Miyako are my top 3 favorites from Japan.

[@lovebitesbrasilfans]

RAITEI.. THUNDER in Japanese! NEMOPHILA is THUNDER! 🥰🥰🥰 And I Like it.

[@joeseconi250]

Seeing this song live was amazing, and one of the loudest concerts I have ever been to, I loved every minute of that show, these ladies are amazing Live.

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

I saw them in New York and was about 15' from the stage right speakers and it was the loudest concert I have ever been to, the bass was stupid strong. It was an amazing show for sure. And I even caught a pick from Hazuki, and as Dave says, for some reason it made everything even more special catching this little piece of plastic. Can't wait to see them again. Peace

[@michaelmunno]

JOE!! it was great to meet you before and after the show in NYC. agreed, loud show and they were amazing! I was 2nd row side rail in front of SAKI and man she's awesome. that whole show though, I never realized the power that tiny Tamu has haha, she was amazing. all of them were on point and the sound was fantastic. loved that show, it was a great day. see ya at another show! :) Seeing eye to eye with Hazuki as they walked past the line late in the afternoon was awesome, everyone else missed them until I yelled out NEMOPHILA!! and they all turned and waved as they were under the Marquee at that point, haha. will never forget how I could tell Hazuki was smiling at me for locking on to her and knowing it was her. haha. they almost got by un-noticed. ❤❤🔥NEMOPHILA🔥❤❤

[@joeseconi250]

@@michaelmunno Gotta say meeting you and hanging out before the show was so much fun, after the show I was hanging out front talking and they came strolling out and I called out and Saki waved . it was really such a fun night. And for sure this band is best consumed LIVE. Hope to see you at Baby Metal in Sept.

[@michaelmunno]

@@joeseconi250 I knew i should have stayed talking to you and waiting for Jaelin longer outside after the show! IDK why I assumed they were long gone from the theater already by then. I had been on my feet since 11am and had not eaten all day, so I really wanted to go sit down, grab a beer or three and some gyoza, lol. Next time I will wait longer haha. looking for work right now, so IDK what my budget will be the rest of the year yet. Depends on how long it takes me to find a new job. Next up for me is Band-Maid in Charlotte NC in a few weeks. Long drive each way, but excited to see them again. looking forward to the next time we get to chat and hang out.

[@joeseconi250]

@@Daniel_Colavecchio Just curious if you saw me before the show, I was guy from Fox walking down the line talking to fans. But straight up the bass rattled my fillings...LOVED IT !

[@reel_mixer]

Thank you for return to Nemophila.

[@greggarvin2663]

Solid reaction to a solid in your face rock tune. Interesting fact: Acura actually used this song in a series of ads that I assume were written for the Japanese market (I've never seen them on American TV) but which I have sometimes seen before You Tube videos. The ads are actually a multi-part series that tell a Speed Racer type story about a female race car driver (even deeper interestingly fact, the character's model and name are actually based on the Stage Left guitarist Saki - no idea if she ever drove a race car for real or if its just a bit of fun fantasy, but the character is clearly supposed to be her). So if you love this song and/or like Speed Racer you might want to search You Tube for "Nemophila Acura Ad" (just for fun, not as a reaction). Only quibble, the pronunciation is "Neh-MOE-feel-ah" or Neh-MOE-fill-ah" - it's actually a Greek or Latin word that is the scientific name of the flower native to Western North America that is commonly called Baby Blue Eyes which was heavily imported into Japan in the years after WWII and became very popular over there. The band's logo is actually a Nemophila flower.

[@chriso6719]

This is one of my favorites of theirs too. And I've heard most , if not all, of their originals. Raitei, I think , means thunder, which fits it very well. Love Mayu's vocals, and Tamu Murata is awesome on the drums. Their channel does have an official live for this song.

[@christopherscottdempwolf5759]

There is also an anime version on the Acura youtube channel.

[@johnmagill7714]

One of my favorite numbers by Nemophila. But every time I watch this, I get distracted by Saki.

[@HellMac]

Men of culture united!

[@bondradman7353]

Completly normal. When Saki walks in a room, she is the distraction!

[@jonathanhopkins7994]

When he says "I hope they finish strong" but you already know the end of this song is so fucking hard. 👁👄👁

[@oldmanpete777]

I saw Nemophila do this song live this last February. It's was awesome! One of my favorite songs from the band. I also like their cover songs. At the concert they played "Trooper" by Iron Maiden. They are a fun and energetic band to watch live.

[@steveratcliffe2181]

I love this band. So talented and they rock hard. Not bound by any particular style of music, they do it all well. And they are all adorable as hell!!

[@radioraffa]

Nemophila Never blocks, so no worries with them. The encourage it and even mention other reactors (Like Old Mr. B). During their US tour, they said to the audience that were there because of KZbin. They are still independent so no big label corporation controlling things. Other Japanese bands are following suit (Like adding subtitles and more video output). Gacharic Spin are even having a contest for reactors to react to their new video "Kachi-kachi Yama" .

[@adamyoung9132]

Mayu's vocals are great live. I've seen them in concert twice and she has not disappointed me at any point.

[@traechurch8657]

David. I have a handful of reaction/review channels that I keep up with. And man yours is criminally underrated. You always keep it real man! Great reaction BTW!

[@mikelowe6196]

Tamu is one hell of a drummer

[@krauser3885]

I believe by the time I requested this (Oct 10, 2021) there wasn't a live version yet. (even if there was, I wasn't the the original requester, only the second). The live stuff from them, not just this song, is pretty great. I also usually roll with live over music videos, unless I want to introduce a band to someone new or a music video that invocates nostalgic feelings because it was my introduction to a band (I'm weird like that). It's still one of my favorite songs from them, the very first one too (lucky that youtube recommended it to me on the release day too).

[@204pjfaherty]

Thank you so much David for reacting to this tune. It is one of my favourites from them. I guessed your score would be 8.4 and in the end I got it right! All the best to you!! 😄👌

[@BlackArr0w]

This is one of my favourites song from Nemophila! This and Hypnosis! Glad you liked it! The ending of the song is really fire :D

[@Glynthepin]

Tamu, the drummer is well respected in Japan. When you think of just how many quality drummers there must be in Japan, that is a great compliment to her skills. I believe she has played for jazz musicians previously. I enjoy this song because it does not have too much scream and growl from Mayu. That may sound rather strange as for many it is that part of her vocal that draws people to Nemophila. I don't dislike that singing style from Mayu but for me, it has taken the edge of some of their songs. I guess a little higher with your score even closer with your adjustment. 😀

[@yakidin63]

This song was my first time ever listen to Nemophila back in the day and it was awesome. Haven't looked back since. Love every one of their songs. Yes Murata tamu absolutely kills it on this track too. She's a master drummer for sure.

[@OurFoundingLiars]

Wow just realized I’ve been saying the name of the band wrong…. I’ve been saying neemohfeelah

[@obud3777]

SAKI !!! 🎸🔥🤘

[@markr2788]

That reminds me, got to whip it out and lay it on the table this weekend.

[@colonelbasic9736]

I will never be able to listen to this band anymore without thinking of your pronunciation of the bands name 😂

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

David for the love of God, it Neh-mo-FEELAH. Lol Saki even pronounces it at the end of one of their MV's lol

[@フェルメール-i2k]

please next react NEMOPHILA ／ OIRAN ［Official Live Video ］

[@pickelskin9848]

Lol I think it's Nemo Fila

[@carlnietoweise4653]

interestingly "Raitei" translates as Thunder Emperor. I gotta translate those lyrics.

[@AidilAfham]

Is that how you say it? Nemore Fela? I always thought it Neemo Feela

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I'm getting about a 50-50 split in the comments. About half are saying that I'm saying it correctly, and the other half are saying I should pronounce it the other way. I'm not sure which way is correct at this point.

[@yakidin63]

@@THEDavidHeretic The band says NEH Mofila so thats what Im going for. No finding Nemo🐟 here. haha. There are plenty of interviews on their YT channel where they mention their name as well. If you like to see them live and listen to them introduced with their name said correctly by KEIKO from SHOW YA, their OIRAN live at NAON YAON 2021clip from their YT channel is a great platform.

[@michaelmunno]

@@yakidin63 aye, they say it as NEH mo feela. and it sounds natural, it's after a flower...thus their logo. love this band and their name and the flower. lol. but aye, stay away from the finding neeemo, sound, and def not nemahfalla....lol. there used to be a good video out on it, but it got taken down for some reason.
