Songwriter LISTENS to NEMOPHILA for the FIRST TIME! (Dissension Reaction)

[@robertturner8040]

There only 18 months old as a band although there all very experienced and came together initially to support the singer Mayu for some live gigs and it just clicked .As a guitarist you will love this ban there two of the best right now in Japan right hand as you look is Saki (involved in other bands and solo work)and she is guitar royalty in Japan and left is Hazuki who plays with LisaX .Oiran filmed in there practise room shows off some amazing guitar work +they have a how to video for that one as well .Very divers in songs from super heavy to more rock/pop but all with Killer guitar drums bass and vocal work .They have the potential to be as big as the others, unsigned doing it themselves .

[@MattFarkas]

Hard to believe the group is that new! They sound so polished...just amazing. Thanks for the info, Robert!

[@doelannais]

Amazing as usual Nemophila is great

[@ajettfan]

No one, no one, no one combines so many different styles into one song as they do. Glad your a Nemofanatic now

[@Dead-EyeMetal]

Dude, great reaction and extra points for the old-school Genesis album covers on the wall, lol.

[@Jmaveryk]

You got to see them live in studio, is much fun to watch they playing and enjoying themselfs

[@wolfbe7]

Someone introduced me to this band on the Master Sword discord. They are great!

[@MattFarkas]

Sounds like a pretty swell place to me. 😉

[@retroislandboy9708]

you have reached the top . these ladies are the most well rounded group ive listened to and ive been listening to Japanese music for many years! as there may be more "popular" bands....and i do love other bands . but there is something special with these ladies....each member is amazing. you listen to their other tracks you will see and get different vibes from every track ! they are not limited to sound or style or look! i would suggest listen to their song LIFE to see a great contrast to Dissension ! then listen to Monsters....then Sorai ! just to see how they dont limit themselves ! and they play 7 string guitars ...another thing not very common ! that adds even more flavor 😎

[@MattFarkas]

Glad to have finally gotten around to listening to them! Looking forward to putting more reaction vids for them up on the channel soon. 😃

Nemophila were founded in 2019. There are a supergroup composed of: Mary's Blood guitarist Saki ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki (also plays with Lisa-X) ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Muratatam (also does other projects) Other than Saki, none of them had previously been with a breakout band, despite having amazing chops. Getting these five together did the trick-they are just exploding. Initially, they were just a side project, co-organized by Saki and Mayu. They started off posting metal covers of well-known rock, pop and metal songs. Then they began posting originals, starting with “Oiran” kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rFY4GqhdyWrsU Their originals show a trend toward harder and heavier. Nemophila’s youtube channel: kzbin.info/door/voAeGZoC8giXP59NOZABIAvideos

[@muto4055]

So Saki is still in Mary's Blood?

[@hiawatha.g]

@@muto4055 Yes. So far no indication she is leaving. She also does projects under her own name--busy lady!

[@zodak9999b]

[@maximushaughton2404]

Another Japanese band for you. They are female fronted, they started of doing songs from a video game called Touhou, but now do a lot of their own thing. They also are a collection of some of the best Japanese musicians, and are sort of a supergroup. They tend to hit like a speeding freight train and just not stop. Unlucky Morpheus - Black Pentagram.

[@MattFarkas]

Unlucky Morpheus will be coming soon! They've been on my list for awhile. Excited to finally hear them!

[@zodak9999b]

@@MattFarkas Check out the videos (on their official channel) from their latest release. The 4 instrumentalists made a sub-group called Quadratum and have covered Yngwie, Dream Theater, Racer-X, Steve Vai and have a violin cover of Eruption. Their violinist Jill has stolen my heart even more than Miyako ever did.

[@AngelLWJ]

Nemophila is a band formed in 2019, but actually each of their members is from a different band, so nemophila is like a super band type！ Next one please react to 《oiran》, another banger songs🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻

[@MattFarkas]

Appreciate the suggestion, Angel! I'm excited to hear more!

[@AngelLWJ]

@@MattFarkas thank you🤘🏻

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Mayu has a great scream as well as clean vocals, but you need to hear her on their newest song "Beautiful Day" which goes 180 degrees in a different direction: a ode to motherhood, childhood, and family.

[@cius2112]

My suggestion for more Nemophila is their song Monsters.

[@MattFarkas]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@BaphoRez]

This is their heaviest track so far. Their song "Oiran" is more representative 🎵

[@MattFarkas]

Gotcha, I've heard that one mentioned a lot so I'll try to put up a video for it soon! Thanks, Spud!

[@socrateos]

For a Japanese metal band with a (arguably) world-best guitarist, check out Asterism - an instrumental-only band. The guitarist is Hal-Ca, an 18-years old Japanese girl, who will surprise you. Try Asterism's epic song DAWN in live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKa0gal_g6-Wd5I (Enjoy her guitar when she was still 16 years old)

[@2abug]

Now you're ready for HANABIE. "We Love Sweets" It was Yukina's (HANABIE.'s singer) birthday 2 days ago As for NEMOPHILA, try the song "Life" (my favorite of theirs) or "OIRAN". And today is Haraguchi-san's (the bassist) birthday 🎂🎊🤘🏻

[@MattFarkas]

Haha, what great timing with the birthdays! Appreciate the suggestions!! Look for more Nemophila soon.

[@204pjfaherty]

I'm glad to see you liked that track. 'Riatie' should be the next Nemophila song to look at. You should try to have a look at Aldious next, they're more melodic than Lovebites, and also have twin lead guitarists.

[@jonathanlane2579]

Let's keep giving this band lots of deserved love - so that they keep going.

[@MattFarkas]

They're pretty fantastic. Can't wait to hear more!

[@panterarufo1361]

The band the of year ! I love Nemophila ❤️ i liked your reaction 👍 greetings.

Greetings, Pantera! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 -Matt

[@takuyam5342]

なぜかお父さん的な温かいリアクションに感じました。よかったです👍

[@markmathewssgbcpenaltyboxs6389]

I will say they are my favorite now! You could check out their other originals like Oiran, Raitei or their ballad Life. They also do covers that range from Pop to Rock to Metal that they just have so much fun doing! My favorite covers are Make You Happy shows a completely different side of Mayu's voice and Linkin Park's Given Up. Thank you for reacting to this video.

[@muto4055]

BAND-MAID is the top notch of the female rock band. Nemophila and LOVEBITES are the same in the female metal band. If you listen to experimental or a math rock band, you should check out a three piece band called Sokoninaru.

[@MattFarkas]

Ooh, sounds cool! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@COTTERO]

Cool reaction.👌 This is a side project for SAKI (second guitar solo) you could check out the song "Wings" of her main band: Mary's Blood. Also is a side project for Hazuki (first guitar solo) who is the second guitar in the band of the prodigy teenager Li-sa-X.

[@MattFarkas]

Sounds like some bands I need to check out! Thank you, COTTERO!

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

Nice love Nemophila⚡ Next try Hanabie - I love sweets 🧁

[@MattFarkas]

Hanabie is being suggested a lot, putting them on my list! Thanks Christopher!

[@skoob64]

Check out 'Serenity in Murder' a female fronted Japanese metal band.and 'Maxmum the Hormone'. I love the names of Japanese bands.

[@MattFarkas]

They're always so fun. Thanks for the suggestion, skoob!

[@jessecatron8225]

Nemophila are fantastic. Dissension is their heaviest song. Try Raitei next

[@allanmoger1838]

Nemophila are pretty diverse. Their track Life is an awesome rock song, Monsters is a bit of metal fun, Oiran is a slap in the face modern metal track, Raitei is some fast paced treat but none of these is very similar to another although they all sound like Nemophila. That's a pretty good trick to be honest. I love band-Maid but they are suffering a little bit from "sameness" at the moment, IMO.

[@MattFarkas]

I'm very excited to dig into more from them! I like when bands change up their sound.

[@bobbywinkler9455]

Named after a blue Wildflower in Japan

[@bliffblam]

Yo, so they finally did English translations for dissension, ratei and life. So far that what I found . Changes everything, these girls are amazing in every way! You should check out rolling quartz too. They're a Korean rock band, not as heavy but still amazing band. Blaze is their first big release. They just released a mv for good night a dream catcher cover they did. They have really good originals and covers they've done. Nemo and RQ are definitely my 2 favorite bands right now. Dissension was the first song I heard from Nemo and wasn't really a big fan either, you really have to listen to more from them. Dissension is not the song I would pick to represent them. Mayu has an amazing voice when actually singing lol and the rest of the girls are extremely skilled, some of the best in Japan

[@honzazaloudek1883]

First time hearing this my mind went directly to the two theme songs of Desu nôto (Death Note). Fun cheezy stuff :)

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

Nemophila did a cover of Maximum the Hormone - Zetsubou Billy (Deathnote OP).

[@MattFarkas]

I still need to watch Death Note. I heard it's great!

Which other band should you react to? Take your pick! Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female or (in four cases, mixed, female-led) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands.

The guitarist to our right is named Saki. Search her name on KZbin if you want to see one of the best metal guitarists anywhere not just in Japan. Thanks for this awesome review of a band that is finally getting some major exposure from reactors. Try their cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" or their song Oiran which is pretty hard but not as hard as this. You can also check out Saki in her other band, Mary's Blood. There are a lot of live videos of them, but the sound quality alway sucks compared to their official videos. Their song "Marionette" is good to catch some Saki shreds. She records lead and rhythm for studio versions. There is a music professor named Yashiro who plays rhythm when the band performs live.
