Thanks🤟🫡👊

I was there, it was a fun show with good energy. The stage was in a corner of a hotel ballroom and there was a lot of other distractions but still a good show.

Narumi played for Aldious on the "Evoke" tour June - December 2019, and NAMM in January 2020. At the final "Evoke" stop, Dec. 20 in Tokyo, Toki (who Narumi was subbing for) joined them for a few songs. I was there.

Hasn't Sakura and the drummer left already?

I agree! A killer duo, not a pathetic pair of M&Ms who have more rubbish in play than live notes.

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll Sorry, I couldn't control myself. Saying the truth about the M&M duo is like unwrapping a Christmas present.😆😆😆

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

@@stephenmartin6733 No Mayto, UYU and KanaKo left. HAGANE is now a four piece with Sakura, Sayaka on bass, Junna on drums and new vocalist Nagi.

🫡🤟🤟🔥

With Junna🔥🤯🤟

@venusgaijin One can only wonder how Sakura managed to persuade Junna to join Hagane when she seemed dead set on ever joining another band full time since her departure from Girl's Rock Band Kakumei (now Trident).✌️❤️🤘

It's Lonesome Blue. They were featured earlier, in the Narumi segment, as well.

@kicorse Ah Lonesome Blue. I heard then before briefly but after hearing that I've got some new stuff to listen to today 😄

It's Lonesome Blue 😁🤟

@@venusgaijin thank you

I don't know who you mean, because there are too many that are extremely good :) Juna Serita, Koga, Kiyoshi, Misa, Fami, Haraguchi, Misaki Fujiwara...

🤔 ...that there is my friend, so true! After that list, I'm not sure who I mean either! 😁 👍

🔥🔥🔥 An epic night

@@venusgaijin sure will be. I wish I was there.

Asterism is affiliated with the Amuse talent agency. This means that the METALVERSE project will not be able to attract the attention of young guitarists all over Japan.

Why talk about other guitarists when you should only talk about the best? Let the others hone their skills, and eventually they can join the elite cohort. We are not talking about old guitarists (Jimmy Page, Blackmore, Brian May), we are talking about the young and bold, and most importantly, the ones who can play killer cool. A small observation, most of the young guitarists who are losers are such thanks to wrongly chosen reference points (listed above:Jimmy Page, Blackmore, Brian May). Miyako had Blackmore as his idol, and we all know what that led to. In contrast, Hal Ca was inspired by Nuno Bettencourt, Victor Smolski and Akira Takasaki (the latter is also Saki's inspiration) and for this reason she sits proudly alone on the top step of the guitar Olympus.

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll The killer is ready. He's young, short, but with a big heart, a talent that has no beginning, so there's no end. Sweet, likes to smile and is damn good at his craft.😎😎😎

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll You tell me. Personally, I'm not expecting anything. I'm observing, analyzing. And I say what I think, whether anyone likes it or not. I'm not looking for approval, I have my own truth.

Thank you 👊😁🫡🔥

All due respect to Saki and her technical skills, but she will be too much of a contrast to Hal Ca's clean and accented game. Saki is a veteran in this game, and she was born to shine on her own, to be first fiddle under the spotlight. They could make an interesting collaboration, record a couple tracks together, but no more. Two tigers won't get along on the same mountain, and besides, Asterism's music is conceptually different from anything Saki is used to doing. But what they have in common is incredible passion and fire! Offstage they may seem quite phlegmatic (especially Saki), but on stage they turn into Furies. This is what the M&M duo lacks, they look like Easter Island statues for most of the intro. Also, in my opinion only, Hal Ca combines the role of lead guitarist and vocalist quite well, I think her voice is authentic to their material.

@@HarveyAnk Who said that? You must know Saki well and understand her mindset? A bunch of as you put it "snooty kids" can easily embarrass most celebrities. Yeah, they may not be popular, but since when is talent measured in terms of views, followers, and hypocritical reactors who lick anyone they get recommended? Talent is something you can't buy. Not everyone is born with it, but people who have a core, perseverance and long years of practice, achieve certain heights. Hal Ca has a gift from birth and she hasn't unleashed it yet. She has everything ahead of her, her best songs are yet to be written. That's when we'll see who will be taking a bow to whom. I'm writing this with absolutely no negativity, or you might think I've been hit with a wave of resentment.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's philosophical s*it, bro😂😂😂

@@Swamp_Duck_Song “Saki is a veteran in this game, and she was born to shine on her own” Nothing wrong with sharing the spotlight, as both of them would also have to do so with Asterism’s incredible bassist Miyu. The point here, is to make an incredible band. That would include sharing the spotlight. “Hal Ca combines the role of lead guitarist and vocalist quite well” You really can’t complain about Lovebites fans, if you want to make ridiculous comments like this.

@@SomethingToDo360 You mean a dream band? There have been so many similar examples. Take Real Madrid, they gathered all the stars and in the end there was no team play, the victories were solely because each player individually was incredibly strong. There was constant squabbling within the team and an internal struggle for the title of top scorer of the season.

⁠@@Swamp_Duck_Song Just because two members can be good (like Hal-ca and Miyu for example), doesn’t necessitate a need to fight each other. Let me ask you one question: do you think what I suggested here, could potentially make Asterism much more popular, while also retaining their technical-focus that many Japanese bands prefer to have? Because my post was looking at it from the business-side of things, while also thinking about how they could still be enjoyable for me to listen to.

I completely agree. Even Midori and Miyako would wipe her out. Unlike her, they have at least a weak level, Dany has no level at all. She can only compete with Shakira in the art of guitar playing.😂🤣😂

@@Swamp_Duck_Song LOL

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll She's clearly not a queen, not even a lady of the court. She's probably the innkeeper's daughter.😂😂😂

@7StringSweepGoddessAboveAll am just speaking FACTS..

@@akatzukianlun No one's arguing, bro. These facts are as solid as tungsten carbide.

Don't be silly.

Whose exactly, everyone's or anyone in particular?

@@Swamp_Duck_Song all of them, I just haven't heard any good songs from any J metal band or whatever they're called. There's no doubt they're incredible musicians.

@@bobmorr2892 You didn't like any of them at all? How many songs have you listened to? Maybe you're just unlucky and got the wrong songs every time? Probability theory says you should have liked at least one song. That's weird.

@@Swamp_Duck_Song I've listened to several songs by at least three different groups I didn't like any of the songs I don't like the style of music that they play I've heard enough I find this kind of music agitating annoying unpleasant and I don't care if they're the best guitar players in the world. They're fantastic players but the songs are the most important thing to me you may love their songs but I don't.
