Thank you champ! I truly love Bridear. These ladies cover the gamut from true metal to more hooky pop rock and definite progressive rock tendencies. Keep climbing down the Bridear rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed. Check out light in the dark from them

Nice to see you back💪👍😃

Super underrated band 🤩🤘🇨🇦🤘

Finally we get BRIDEAR from you (those of us not on Patreon), they were at one time one of my favorite bands from Japan, sadly their newer sound, after Misa and Mitsuru left, just isn't my thing with this song being the exception. I would love for you to get to my favorite song from them. Tina would you be so kind as to put Remedy on the list, please?

The original members are Haru Bassist and Kimi the singer the other three joined around 2018 or so before it was Mitsuru and Misa on guitars whom I think we're a lot better as well as Kia the drummer they go back as far as 2011 and released their debut album in 2013. Check out the song Thread of the Light (2013) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9SSna6isrW4lWg.html When this song came out for the very first time it did not go well for the band because it was way too poppy and that is why they did the revised version of it so much better, influences and vibes to me are borrowed notes, borrowed riffs, borrowed techniques, borrowed sounds, everyone does it and that is what makes rock/metal music so amazing out of one borrowed riff and 6-minute song can be created, the pilot, the climax, and the conclusion that leaves you wanting more

My fav song of the year.

Very intrigued by this band. I’m going to check out a bunch more!

I don't think I recall this from your old channel--is it a new reaction? Anyway, here is some background: One of the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands, founded in 2011. They go hard and heavy, and epitomize the technical side of Japanese rock bands. Here is the original lineup: Kimi-Vocals Haru-Bass, growls Misa-Guitars, growls Mitsuru-Guitars (pink flying V) Kai-Drums In 2019, Kai left to start a family, Misa left to pursue her own musical vision, Mitsuru soon followed, and they had to bebuild. Amazingly, they did so without any loss in quality, finding Misaki and Ayumi on Guitar, and Natsumi, formerly of Telecide, to take over on drums (after a brief trial with another drummer). New Lineup: Kimi-vocals Haru-bass, growls/metal vocals Misaki-Guitar, audience left Ayumi-Guitar, audience right Natsumi-Drums They have been experimenting with a variety of styles, dabbing in progressive and pop, but they still come back to their metal roots. In “Brave New World Revisited” (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZxdgruU3rPPiX0.html) I think they’ve got a masterpiece. It’s also a tour-de-force for their brilliant young guitarist Ayumi. If this is their direction, they are going to re-emerge into the top tier of Japanese bands. I saw them live in London just after this lineup came together, and they were explosive, playing mostly stuff from the original lineup. From the original lineup: “Light in the Dark” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebRjfqd6p8rTo4U.html “Ignite” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grd5d9Smya3DdIU.html New Lineup: “Starlight” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atKhbJN41rjcmXk.html “Bloody Bride” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebRjfqd6p8rTo4U.html “Brave New World Revisited” (you just watched this)

I recommend Hakoniwa which really demonstrates just how diverse & wide a lens Bridear can go. It"s off their 2016 Baryte album. Some of the lyrics translated goes something like this. "My affection is deeper than my despair. I can't arrive at the answer, I confined my eternal feelings in my mind, Your tenderness brings pain to me.""Ideal is just an illusion. It turns into the ash before long. Can I call it happiness？I don't want to think about that. Only one truth exists, enemy is myself." Yikes lol. 🙀💕 Song is deep and definitely worth checking out! 🤘🎸🔥

It gives me a big Dream Theater-ish vibe !

オリジナルメンバーによる代表曲 「Light In The Dark」の MVも見て下さい！ Please also see the MV of the representative song " Light In The Dark " by the original members of BRIDEAR !

Haru (bassist) is a great growler, plus she’s like 5’ tall, some commenters have called her the “demon doll”, check out “bathtub “, it’s her and one of the guitarists playing in a bathtub

For me the song of 2021. Can be found on their latest album "Aegis of Athena". The new line-up is developing its own identity, they don't stick to metal but move in other directions as well. Makes for a more interesting listening experience when you listen to the album. I know some people prefer the heavier more metal stuff but my musical background is more pop / prog / punk /rock and they play those pretty well, as well as metal.

My new fav, after Scream

Nice reaction to a true epic song Another vote for you to check "Light in the Dark" from their previous line up: MV link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i96DpbKipt7Fe6s.html I always get goose bumps when they reach the first chorus All in all, a solid band and i look forward for some other reactions to their stuff (Starlight is nice, the studio live video)

As I'm sure you know by now, they’re scheduled to release their new album “Born Again” on June 28 (I've heard it and it's a banger.) They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. They just posted a video single from the album: “Still Burning” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ2FgrdzptqumGQ.html Looks like you are late to the party!

Tanks Champ. For me this was one of the songs of the year when it came out - it had everything I needed in a song, and a few things I didn't know I needed until it hit me.

Best mixed girl metal studio albums out of japan ive heard. Agis of athena 48/24. they have catchy songs on the EPs.

Great reaction to a fantastic band...I am looking forward to seeing them in concert in September here in England.

This Epic song definitely delivers the Nostolgia feeling, It really blew my mind the first time listening to it. I went ahead & bought their new album after listening.

Yo Champ just wanted to tell You Nemophila have a New Cool Song Out and Video called Style You will Love It.

Bridear is pretty great! For me, the new album is where they really became one of my favorite groups. My favorite songs sadly don't have MVs. Ray of Chaos is an awesome groovy rock song with a fantastic riff and Side of a Bullet is a bit more of a progressive jam similar to this song. For older stuff, Light in the Dark, Ignite, and Ghoul are my favorites. Another more recent one, Bloody Bride is also really good. They are starting to get close to the Top 3 of my favorite Japanese girl bands. But since Band Maid and Nemophila are like 2 of my favorite bands period, that's pretty high praise from me.

"Thread of light" is their best song. it is a real hidden gem. It is simple song, in a way, but it just sounds better every time you play it. In my books one of the best metal songs ever made, and I have listened metal since 80's... Hear it every day from my playlist..

Very underated j-female metal band. Not many reaction on this band. People should react more this band, too much band maid, nemophila & lovebites( not saying they are bad...) There's alot more bands in japan rock/metal deserve attention as well.
