It's amazing to think that Kanade, the bassist, just a little less than 2 years ago, at age 15, was one of the 6 semi-finalists to be the new bassist for Lovebites! So happy for her that she's now part of NEK¡

@fikryhasan5225 5 ай бұрын

It's pronounced "ne-kee", it derived from the words "maneki neko" (fortune cat) and also "aneki" (big sister). The bass I think it's the main weapon of this band, although all other instruments are as fantastic. Kanade the bassist is the sweetest young girl ever, she replies all the messages she received in her X account. I just love this band. Next is 'REIGENGIRL', and then 'MAZE'. Thanks for this reaction, guys!!

I love this band, they sound so good. Kanade the bassist is pure awesome. She was one of the 6 finalists for the LOVEBITES bassist auditions. IIRC she was like 15 years old at that time. she's outstanding. Their entire sound is awesome. I think you'll love their EP. the song MAZE is my personal fav, there is an MV for that. You should also check out the new album from BRIDEAR (BORN AGAIN, the still burning MV is outstanding if you love drums that punch you in the face all song) and the latest MV from the rebirth of HAGANE should not be missed either...outstanding new music, I feel so spoiled this year. especially recently. with new Band-Maid in Sept. even though we know some of it already. I am still hopeful for at least one or two more rock to be waiting for us. Good to see y'all again, my fellow jersey boy Sam. get on the BRIDEAR and HAGANE I think you'll be happy!

100% this. The new Bridear album is awesome. And the Hagane EP is amazing, too. And check out the new East of Eden Video. Damn, what a year (and a new Band-Maid album soon 🥰)

I just watched them live last week from the front row in Tokyo with a group of BandMaid fans! They're pretty solid considering they've only done about fifteen 30mins performances since they debut in March. I ended up getting 5 copies of their latest EP. Will be watching another show in late August, I think this a band to really keep an eye on 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Great insights guys. Others have corrected your pronunciation, but aside from that I thought it was one of your best reactions, bringing out why the music is so distinctive. Definitely a band Band-Maid fans are watching (also Lovebites fans, as the bassist made it to the final audition to replace Miho).

@Hadesillo 5 ай бұрын

This bassist was one of the only 6 people to make it to the presential phase of the Lovebites auditions two years ago. She was only 15 and had just started high school, but I wonder what would have happened if she had not been this young.

Great reaction to a great new/young band. Just recently got back from Japan. Caught the Band-Maid show in Kanagawa on Sunday night, and the next night, Nek! was in a small club, "Sunrize", with 4 other bands. They rock live. Others have already mentioned the correction on how to pronounce the band's name. Kanade on bass is wicked good. I can see why she was a finalist for the bass position of Lovebites. To me, she definitely sets the foundation of the music. Cocoro on drums is awesome! And is often smiling, which makes me think of Akane. Hika on vocals and rhythm guitar is solid and Natsu on lead guitar, is also very good, although that night, I did feel she was too far back in the mix and wasn't allowed to shine through as much as the rest of the band. They are definitely a up and coming band to watch. When they do make it big, I can say I saw them in a little club in Japan and got to see them up close (second row) where they are literally an arms length away from you. They are also very nice when we went to buy merch after the show. There were a bunch of us from the Band-Maid fandom who were there and they were excited/happy when seeing a whole bunch of us in Band-Maid shirts. They have posted their cover of Band-Maid's "Choose Me" on their YT shorts from one of their live shows, and other shorts featuring Band-Maid covers. Check out "The link between Band-Maid and Nek!" on Ohrenje's channel. It's quite interesting. 🤘😆🤘

The little sisters of Band Maid. Very promising. I'm looking forward to hear their progress because I have the impression that they are still in this first phase where they are securing an audience without taking too much musical risks. But there is serious potential considering the talent of these young ladies.

@violence_yakitori3552 5 ай бұрын

nek! (NEKI) continues to increase the number of customers day by day at Japan's small live house, a special place where bands can perform every month, and their first one-man show sold out immediately. This is also a small live house, and although the music is outsourced, I think it will continue to grow.

Hika the singer/ rythme guitare rewind me Asaka from Trident for the singing and guitare style is more Miku . Natsu the lead guitare for me is a little Kanami.

The group name is pronounced "neck-ee". I think these young ladies are all still teenagers. The bassist Kanade was apparently a favorite during the Lovebites auditions for a new bass player after Miho left, but I think they thought she was too young. I like their sound.

This band is one to watch for sure. They're starting off where a lot of bands I like were at after they had been bands for around 5 years already. The bassist's way of playing reminds me a lot of F. Choppa Koga from Gacharic spin. Heck, every member seems like they could be from other more popular bands. I just can't place any of the other members except Koga really.

The great thing about Japanese and Korean bands is, along the vein of what you said, they're all pretty much different from each other, with their own signature sound, even though they all play "rock music". Unlike Western bands where a lot of the bands sound alike.

How good is the bassist Kanade? Lovebites had her under consideration as a 15 yr old. She's got some Fami & F Chopper Koga in her. Would be a good opener for Band-Maid or maybe Nemophila. They definitely deserve exposure.
