NEMOPHILA - REVIVE - Ryan Mear Reacts

well..I finally get around to it. Acutually I got around to it a couple days after it's release...but certain birthdays kept my lazy editor busy.

[@christiankonecny2596]

They melt your heart. Then melt your face.

[@brandydynamite5877]

If these ladies don't reach the very top, there's no justice in this world. Nemophila are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jaygonzales7198]

i just watched the making of this video very cool.Also love the location shoot c-ya

[@ramair3judge]

Just like that wind, this song is in your face all the way through. Just another highly anticipated album from these great bands of Japan. Hopefully the concert in January is just the start of a real tour. Maybe following what Bridear just did through the EU and the UK to start.

[@bobbywinkler9455]

How can they all be so pretty

[@fremen6013]

Brian, I think your comments about heavy being a way to cope is spot on. There is nothing evil about needing to vent sometimes. I find different levels of heavy are needed for the level of stress and piss off I might be feeling. I take in a lot of different genres because of a love of all (er, most) music. Sometimes I need calm, I need a chord rich light but rhythmic lullaby. Sometimes, I need a "Revival", to slay the demons in my head...I get you 100% dude. RE: The wind on the girls in the onsite production I feel added to the feel: beautiful hair flying in the wind is a wild looking thing, and these crazy artists probably generate enough energy to light a small city anyway...so they handle it great.

[@Tristan_Anderwelt]

Awesome intro and awesome riff ... I loved this song instantly. By the way ... nice BfmV Shirt !

[@RyanMear]

Thanks, it's from a concert in South Bend, Indiana! GREAT show!

[@joshi_new_wave]

Awesome song!

[@ANDOR-]

I think one of the reasons why you want to play when you watch them is because you can see how much fun they're having. Especially in their live videos... and especially Haraguchi and Tamu. But Haraguchi's even smiling almost everytime the camera's on her in the Revive MV. I definitely agree about Mayu and her not sounding like anyone else. She is super unique when it comes to Japanese vocalists/singers in general (I don't really know that many female metal vocalists from other countries, so I stick to Japanese here). There are a lot who sing clean all the time (some in various styles), there are also some who scream/growl all the time and some can sing reasonably well clean and can scream. But there's no one (at least to my knowledge) who can do both really well AND has this middle ground raspi-/gritti-ness like Mayu does. And she can do various different variations of all the different vocal styles to boot. Their MTH cover of Shimi shows a lot of her diversity of every style (but I think I already mentioned that song before, if I did, sorry). Almost forgot, so edit: I love Hazuki and Saki's chemistry in these solos, especially if you consider they're only really playing together for ~2 years. And if I remember correctly, Hazuki only started playing guitar in high school, which wouldn't even be 10 years ago. I also think it's pretty cool how both the rhythm and the guitar section have a "veteran" (Tamu and Saki) and a (relatively) newcomer (Haraguchi and Hazuki). New blood paired with experience always makes the best combinations in a team in my opinion.

[@hiawatha.g]

They have a fun video up showing what it was like to make this. They were joking about freezing because they weren't wearing enough clothes. But they sure powered through, they look like they're having a blast. Re. writing--Saki writes a lot of the music but they all contribute and they also have collaborators.

[@partogiogi6934]

best band right now.. imo

[@RODRIEUROMANIAKO]

from Suicidal Tendencies - You can't bring me down ..that I did not hear something so powerful---nemophila is dinamite

[@1947dd]

I could and would listen to them as an instrumental band. Amazingly skilled musicians.

[@reel_mixer]

1:57 That is exactly what they did with me! This band pushed me to start learn play guitar and first time in my life I learnt something - "Hey Joe" - and I feel...better with this. Story of my guitar is mysterious now - I bought it 20 years ago, never managed to play anything, had trouble with the setup, put away in the basement protected against moisture. I don't understand, why I never get rid of that - I moved 2 times, had problem with storage... Now I found tutorial, made basic setup easy, enough to practice fingers... Like it all waited for that band to wake up. Normally i don't believe in such a things.

[@robertturner8040]

Me as well i stopped playing but the last 2 years i got back on it Saki being the one to get me going again she is such a nice person who actually communicated with me, Old ish bloke 55 not very good on a guitar in Wales uk LOL. Now i am using my many hand skills to make guitars as well .Stick at it and try and play even if its only 10 mins every day .

[@reel_mixer]

10 min - it's the time I have for it and not every day, half of the month is out for the job.

[@glenkelley6799]

Just watching her run up those stairs left me gasping. Oh to be young again. Great new song and great reaction as usual. I feel for the grips that hauled all the equipment up there. If you're going to watch Li-sa-x and Hazuki, be sure to check out Li-sa-x's cover of Joe Satriani "Satch Boogie" / Li-sa-X & Yoyoka as well, two of the best up and coming young guitarist and drummer.

[@timgove5337]

LisaX posted Final Countdown from Yoyoka’s 12th birthday studio session, all pros. They also did Satch Boogie live, just a trio incl bass. and LisaX was on a 3rd song that day, I think it was StSeiya’s Pegasus Fantasy with original Nobu singer! (Nobu was also on Mary’s Blood recent release of Pegasus as well.)

[@benjpr5395]

This album will be 🔥🔥🔥 they played some new songs that will be on the album during 17th live stream all of them were kick ass! Among them Hypnosis really got me I love this song and can't wait for the album to drop to listen to it again and again 🤘

[@jamesredman1263]

IMHO, what you said about most heavy music being positive applies especially to the heavy music from all-female Japanese groups. I'm seeing

[@radioraffa]

They didn't plan on the wind for the video.. There was actually a cyclone (hurricane) on it's way towards that area.

[@russ_henry]

I mean really, what's not to like. They have a bright future ahead of them.

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

Absolutely my favorite song of theirs and I feel it is their best yet. Mayu is singing better in English. Love the location and the ladies look frickin beautiful and love the wind blowing their long hair... yup. Amazing job all around. THank you for reacting to this video.

[@Prophet12]

I have already ordered their first album. There is a "making of" video kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZfVgYKGhd6MqNU They talk about the wind and how Mayu had to learn the English for this song. Enjoy!

[@DragonPhlyy]

Gonna be hard to kick this song out of the Top 3

[@patrickmagrady3563]

Nemophila have entered goddess territory. They are excellent. Mayu is a force of nature!!!!!

[@AngelLWJ]

I think Nemophila's new album is really great. 《Hypnosis》 should be their most special and heaviest song, full of exotic and core , even without the guitar solo, and the main riff of the song reminds me of 《god of fire》 by Fit for the king .🔥 And《game over》 is such a emotions song! The song:《demon light》(鬼灯) is a bit MTH style. 《rollin rollin》 is completely haraguchi's song! It’s a pity that good songs like 《breaking out》, 《blooming》 and 《creature》 are not included in the new album. I really want to hear how the sounds of the studio version is.

[@robertturner8040]

We have had a update on the song that translated to Onikari off the live stream Young Guitarist mag who were in the room at the livestream called it Demon light so it might be that ?

[@AngelLWJ]

@@robertturner8040 i saw it on twitter , i think you are right!👍🏻

[@waterwalker9600]

Demon Light 👍

[@Thor_Iversen]

The only thing missing from this MV, is Saki's bad-ass white Marshall stack. Also, it's cool to see them doing more involved videos than the usual indoor performance type videos. Can't wait for the album!

[@powbobs]

This was shot the day after the typhoon went through. Hence the ridiculous wind and waves. They seem to have been afflicted with Band Maid’s outdoor shoot weather curse.

[@JannAsheSGBC]

They write their own music, no outside at all. Haraguchi San wrote Hypnosis, Hazuki the lyrics. Saki, Haraguchi, Tamu all write compose songs.

[@mscman5]

I am looking forward to the album release. There is a song on it called Rollin Rollin and it has a bass intro saw them play it live last week.

[@robertturner8040]

Revive is just great and heaver live than the MV .I dont know about This song But Sake has said her and Hazuki write there own lead parts separate then come together and work out the twin harmonies .Revive shows Saki going to a sound more Fusion at the start of her solo she likes playing that style and plays with the top male guitarists in JP i dont think she sits down LOL .If you look up Twitter There are interviews from Barks JP news Serch #nemophila with Saki and Hazuki all on there gear its very good .I would put the links but then YT would Delete this comment LOL. There is also the review of the live concert By Young Guitarist Mag on there. I have herd all the songs on the new album now and can confirm there all bangers its out DECEMBER 15th pre orders taken now for the limited edition sets . Mayu also said she has a voice coach now and a English pronunciation coach to help so i think Saki is off the hook now doing the translations for her on the covers ETC.

Their cover of Luna Sea’s Rosier is amazing.

Nice reaction. If you don´t know them, try Jinjer. They could please you.

Another Finnish band. Battle Beast - Master of Illusion. Official music Video. NOORA LOUHIMO exellent great voice.

so I checked out that video...WOW. I watched a little bit, but I think I'm going to save it for a reaction!

[@timgove5337]

I can’t find any credits for the newest songs. Of the first 7, Mayu wrote all (all but 1?) of the lyrics, but other than Saki writing Monsters, all songs have non-band primary writing credits. Mayu is still challenged with English, but she’s getting better, and Saki’s English is conversational. But most of these bands have English consultants. Bridear’s new album is in English, but you can see where they’re at in their bts video prepping the stage banter with a coach. Miho and Asami each had an English partner to help edit lyrics. ANd windy?, Yes! & chilly new costumes. Haraguchisan had sunburn in a strip on her upper arms where the material had a fashionable gap. Here bts “making of” vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZfVgYKGhd6MqNU So you’ve seen LisaXBand? Any reaction videos? First I became aware of Hazuki was in the Narumi/RisaRisa/Ibuki (all former Destrose, as are fate gear, Mary’s blood, lovebites) band called Disqualia, good stuff; Ibuki’s band really, she made some unique vocal production choices that seemed not so popular, but I love it. Two MVs I think, here’s “Over the Destruction” (parting shot at Destrose, rose of destruction? Hmmm), and then of course we’ll get you to Narumi’s other guitar work… kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y36Yq3WBp7l9iMk

Hazuki and Saki are a close second to Miyako and Midori for me. Given enough time and variation in their dual lead work they might catch up but for now how in synch and how much variation Midori and Miyako use puts them slightly ahead.

[@AngelLWJ]

You got the point! M&M’s cooperation is almost perfect, saki and hazuki, I think they need more time to get better together. but I prefer the styles of saki and midori. Miyako is a amazing composer. As for hazuki, I think she should make her live performance more stable and reduce some mistakes, but overall They are both excellent guitarists

[@RyanMear]

I'd rather listen to Saki and Hazuki, my personal preference

[@robertturner8040]

@@RyanMear I love watching the how to play Oiran on YT young guitarist mag there so different to each other kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXewgWVjiMaYfqM but you can see every thing there .Sake for me is just the best there is

[@Mrthedutchman1]

To be honest, I'd rather they sing in japanese, the weird english lyrics and wonky grammar kind of ruin the song for me. It a shame too because I love the music. They have a great sound.
