NEMOPHILA - ZEN (live at Tokyo Garden Theatre - Ryan Mear Reacts

Somehow, I waited to watch this. I knew it was going to be epic.....but it even surpassed what I thought it could be. This is a demanding song for all of them, but especially for Tamu and Mayu...it is just relentless!!!
Thanks so much for the support, I couldn't do this without the Patrons!

Mayu needs to be recognized more widely among Vocals KZbin. That shit was insane.

[@RobinC63]

This is heavy AF! A real face melter. This is Nemophila’s not so subtle way of saying “Remember people, just in case you forgot. We are a metal band!” 🤟

[@RazvanMihaeanu]

Hazuki killed it! 🎸❤‍🔥

[@billmcleangunsmith]

When an all-girl band makes Pantera sound like a boys choir...

[@stups9975]

This band just kicks ass. They are incredible. 🤟🏻

[@eaglez1901]

I don't know what it is, but the more I watch these ladies the more mesmerizing Tamu is to me. Can't take my eyes off her

[@cecilthetermite]

That heavy as Mack truck fully loaded. These ladies keep getting better and better. Thanks Ryan

[@Oedwak]

Mayu can scream at me any time she wants. She's made me learn to appreciate harsh vocals. Thanks for the excellent fun as always Ryan.

[@edstonehouse4115]

Now, I have to see Nemophila live! Tamu's cymbal work alone, chef's kiss... Saki is as animated and alive as the pirate-maid era in Mary's Blood, Mayu, Hazuki and Haraguchi-san, brilliant. ❤

[@Miraie93]

Damn Tamu on fire 🔥

[@johnpaul4784]

The wonderful Haraguchi-san said that she composed this song so that she could meditate quietly. Here is the result! Extraordinary !

[@benjpr5395]

This song slaps so hard live!! Floored me when I saw them in Nagoya in January! Can’t wait to go back to Japan in February to go to their Budokan show🤘

[@bandmaidfanATL]

Mayu is a brutal vocalist. ❤❤❤❤❤ As a vocalist, I know how she does it, but doing it so much and so often, she better have a good voice trainer and doctor. But if she is delivering, I am listening.

[@maidthehormone]

It's pure ENERGY⚡ Love it😍

[@michelm.6033]

Mayu’s vocals will always take the spotlight on this song and for good reason. She is a fabulous vocalist. Still I need to highlight Tamu and Haraguchi. First off I love the track so thank you Haraguchi for composing it. The smiling Thunder duo on bass and drums doesn’t simply provide a foundation for Nemophila’s songs. These two elevate the already amazing guitar team of Saki and Hazuki. Such an spectacular group. Looking forward to Budokan.

[@yakidin63]

Nemophila waking the dead. Muratatam 🥁with her cool stance playing the drums at the intervals and even with her eyes closed the first time. She's just so good. Mayu doing the screamo will always be amazing. This also reminded me sound quality wise of the Zepp Nagoya concert I went to with Hanabie/Nemophila. They did this production so well for YT.

[@MultiYouT123]

Amazing song from this amazing band. Their live sound is so strong and Mayu's screams on top of it, perfect!

[@patrickmagrady3563]

Great fucking band!!!!!

[@J_musicfan]

NEMOPHILA!!!!!🤘🔥🎤🎸🥁🤩 I love this band! Hopefully they will come back to the US. I need to see them again.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

I don't have a bucket list, i have a Gary list of things no one is gonna stop me doing & seeing Nemophila live in London is one of them. Btw great bass work on the Gion-Cho cover, Ryan. I would've emailed you but i didn't want to set you off on one of your delusions of grandeur by getting too much praise....again.😏

[@keronjinRYU]

[@davidcampbellii6342]

@GaryHolloway-810 I can honestly say you will have a blast sir! BTW, I hope that you are able to catch Rolling Quartz when they come to England.

@@davidcampbellii6342 David i am so stoked to be seeing RQ in Jan. P in D knows their manager & gave me the heads up on where to get tickets the day before they went on general sale. I got 2 Priority early access rail tickets & the bonus is i love the venue too. Woo hoo.🙆‍♂️

[@davidcampbellii6342]

@@GaryHolloway-810 That is so awesome, glad to hear that! 🙌 Yes, P in D is a great guy! I really like being able to hang out with him and so many others...all be it virtually... during the bands online concerts. You keep rocking on, staying healthy, and enjoy a pint of Guinness and Cider for me. I'll be looking so forward to reading your comments after the concert. So much respect sir! 🤘

[@davidcampbellii6342]

This song...WOW!! I remember being up in the back bleachers of the Gramercy and "feeling/seeing" the energy from the band on stage and the audience on the floor. It was just surreal. Thanks for sharing your reaction Ryan! 🤘

[@dcola123]

I was 10 ft. from the stage in front of the stage right speaker stack and it was stupid loud even thru earplugs. SO much fun. I have seen a couple of great shows at the Gramercy lately. Nice intimate setting. Hopefully they come back to the Northeast soon. Peace.

[@Vitericus1]

I was wondering how Hazuki would do that solo; it's such a wld, dissonant, out-of-place sound, but it somehow works. I'd love to see and official MV for "Enten," though. That's one of my favs off the album.

[@Thor_Iversen]

Whaaaaaaaahh!! -Mayu

[@BulletProofSoul1029]

When "Zen" was released I must have listened to it like 20 times straight and this live version is actually a lot better imo. I just effin love watching Mayu perform, the volume can be on mute and watching her go at it will still put a smile on my face. She of course kills it here as usual. On a side note as much as you listen to Japanese metal, have you watched any of Saki's World Guitar Girls Collection? The 2017 and 2019 NAONのYAON performances have been on KZbin for a minute but someone recently posted the 2018 NAON performance with Saki, Marin Miyazawa, Ayumi, Hal-Ca, Tomo-Zo, and Yashiro on guitars supported by Azu from Cyntia on bass and Tamu on drums. Its pretty cool, they play an 8 minute medley of Dokken, Deep Purple, Hendrix, Mr Big and Aerosmith to name a few, definitely worth a watch/listen. The ladies are having a blast, especially Hal-Ca who was around 16 when they played it. Its pretty easy to find cause there's only one video of the "World Guitar Girls Collection 2018 NAONのYAON" available on YT. There was also a 2021 lineup with Saki, Hazuki, Tomo-Zo, Yashiro and Lisa X that I'd love to see but cant seem to find anywhere.

[@RyanMear]

Thanks for the info!

This is mosh pit at a major metal festival levels of worthy.

Dangerous! A ferocious america lion is on stage!

🙌 Absolutely love Nemophila - highly recommend the Zepp Diver City BluRay from Feb 2023. Hope they visit the US again in 2024! 😎

1:45 I can't quit wondering what a Hanabie cover of this song would be like - Nemo / Hanabie two man world tour 2024 and take all my money - all of it - just take it .....

[@markspencer3680]

I love this song. I hope they come back to the U.S. and come near me. I would hate to hate this song.

[@michaelfriedrich9417]

Hervorragend, Meisterklasse 👍👍

[@994pt4]

There is a constancy and repetition in this song that is mantra-like....a sort of heavy metal 'meditation'.
