Don't worry, I won't say anything about the pronunciation of the band name. As a German, I probably mispronounce it 80% of the time, too. 🤭 I can only agree with you that they sound like that they are playing in this constellation for damn many years. That they only got together 4 years ago is sometimes hard for me to believe. But I have witnessed it myself from almost the beginning, and just what they have released in the last 2 of them, in my opinion, can not only be attributed to talent, but has a lot to do with their chemistry with each other. This song is another one with which they ensure that their RISE is almost unstoppable. 🔥💮 ___________________ 「 _"完璧なんてありえない" / Perfection? No one gets there._ 」 --- *BAND-MAID* 'Warning' 🕊

The problem with “read what you see,” is the Great Vowel Shift, in which the British corrupted the pronunciation of the Roman alphabet. When you see a Japanese word word written with Roman characters (Romaji), pronouncing be vowels as you would in Spanish or Italian gets you very close. NEMOPHILA is not a Japanese word, but they pronounce it ネモフイラ, which sounds something like “neh-mo-fee-la”. (Like the E in Ned, and the I in Pizza). And MAYU is “ma-yu” (A as in Mama.) OIRAN as in Oil, or “Oi, oi, oi!”

There is no need to wonder how to pronounce Nemophila. Just listen to Keiko Terada (Show-Ya) introduce them: NEMOPHILA / OIRAN [Official Live Video] kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2q5gmyqoLyeqbM

I saw Nemophila in NY. Mayu pronounced the name wrong so I jumped on stage to correct her. She thanked me profusely.

Call ‘em why you like, just keep buying their music. 😜 I wasn’t overly impressed with their second album, it’s a bit bland in places, musically, but if you listen with top quality headphones the instrumentation, and Mayu’s voice, make up for it somewhat. It does have a few brilliant songs but mostly it’s a tribute to how good Mayu has become. Saw them live in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago at the time this song was released, now that’s a whole different ball game - all of their songs hit home live with no misses. This song? It’s a mature Nemophila sound but it lacks some of the rawness I love about them live and when they were first playing together. It’s growing on me but not as fast as Adabana did. Go and check out a brand new J-Metal band, Hades, and their track Bring It On. 😊 They could well be the next / another big thing!

The Japanese pronunciation is not important (they don't have the English "i" sound in the language). It's an English word for a blue flower.
