Nemophila is one of the best band's in the world!!

A few years ago, the ladies from Nemophila were the second band from Japan after Band-Maid to win my heart in no time at all, and they still have a big part of it today. Definitely one of the most versatile bands from the land of the rising sun, where you just don't know what they'll come up with next.... And especially now is an exciting time as one of their guitarists has left the band (Saki, with the guitar that had the cherry blossoms on it) and they are continuing as a four-piece. But after what I've just seen and heard over the last few days, I'm confident that they'll come out of this situation stronger and even more united. 🔥🤘🏻 _____________________ _"America invented rock. England improved it. And now, Japan has perfected it."_ ※ Band-Maid ※ Gacharic Spin ※ Lovebites ※ Nemophila ※ East of Eden ※ Hanabie ※ Asterism ※ Trident ※ Hades ※ Nek! ※ etc.

Nemophila are one of the bands to watch, no question. They just started in 2019 and blew up fast. As you can see from the gang vocals, they don't take themselves too seriously-Hazuki even winks. They almost seem to be enjoying a private joke, that goes "Hi, we're a bunch of cute, fun girls and we are going to rip your face off, and you are going to like it.” They are a supergroup, currently composed of: ex-Lipstick vocalist Mayu (founded the band) ex-Disqualia guitarist Hazuki (also plays with Lisa-X) ex-Hölderlins bassist Haraguchi-san, and ex-Soramimi drummer Murata Tamu (she is also in high demand for session work) Until April 2024, they were a 5-piece band. The fifth member, and actually the band-leader until she left, was ex-Mary's Blood guitarist Saki, arguably one of the top metal guitarists in the world. It remains to be seen as of this writing what directions the band and Saki, respectively, will take. Initially, they were just a side project, co-organized by Mayu with some help from Saki, largely to keep busy in the early days of the pandemic. They started by posting metal covers of well-known rock, pop and metal songs. Then they began posting originals, starting with “Oiran” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9-SZbGltd3HqJc.html The viral reaction seems to have convinced them they were onto something potentially big, so they’ve been putting a lot more work into it, including some successful live-streams and an appearance at the annual Japanese female rock festival NAONのYAON. They tend toward hard and heavy, but also do ballads and some pop covers. Drummer Murata Tamu took time off to give birth to her son, and on her return, the rest of the bandmembers gave her a welcome back that resulted in an extremely moving moment captured on live stream: “Life” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fqyeeLyZx6uloZs.html After Oiran and Dissension, others to check include “Raitei”, which means “Thunder” in Japanese, and yes, they bring the thunder: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/os5dl7l9sLaXYWg.html More recent drops that showcase their intensity and versatility: “Adabana” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d96JnLKo2Nuap4k.html “Style” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9aYaKqAs5zWgJc.html (written by their bassist, Haraguchi-san) “Seize the Fate” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atqgmq-qyNG6iZs.html “Rise” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKpjibBy0pOdmXU.html Saki is the only one who had been with a breakout band before (Mary’s Blood). Hazuki and Murata-tamu are also considered elite musicians and have worked with a lot of other top artists. Hara-san is the youngest but is clearly a great talent and has been developing in front of our eyes. She has already written several songs for the group. And of course Mayu is quickly establishing herself as a top tier metal vocalist. They have toured the U.S. twice. I saw them live and they blew the roof off the place.

For your Japan journey you should check out MAXIMUM THE HORMONE, they are VERY influential in the Japanese hard rock/metal scene. Both Nemophila's drummer, Murata Tamu and Band Maid's drummer, Akane Hirose were inspired to play by MTH's drummer Nao. In fact, Akane did not know girls were allowed to play rock drums until she saw Nao playing. Also, Hanabie (Ha-Na-Be-Eh) started out as a MTH cover band in high school. Check out their song, A.L.I.E.N. Btw, did you know Mongolia has rock bands? Check out The Hu and their song Wolf Totem. Also, did you know India has metal bands? Yes. Really. India. Check out the band Bloodywood and their sing Aaj(today) They sing in Hindi and English.

"Change The World" live next for Nemophila please my man. Ta.🙂👍

Please react to more Nemophila, Revive , Oiran, Rise

Nemophila have so many great songs and variety too. They also do amazing covers. My favorites are their Japanese covers of bands like X-Japan, Rottengraffty and Maximum the Hormone. Enjoy the band and if you do OIRAN live at NAON YAON 2021 you will see them introduced by Japanese 1980's legend band Show Ya's lead singer Keiko as Neh-mo-phil-a.

They lost their "first lead" guitarist Saki and everyone was in a panic but in the last few days we've stuff from the new lineup - dynamite. Bassist comes through MISA style and she deserves it. The whole ensemble is fresh and new.

Nem- o- feela. You had it right. I am not normally a fan of the screaming, however, Mayu's screaming has a familiar sound. I keep hearing Pantera.

THIS BAND IS PART NEW HOLY TRINITY....BANDMAID..LOVEBITES...NEMOPHILA...THATS IT .. PUT THE WARNING IN AS WELL THAT ALL YOU NEED ❤❤❤❤❤

Mayu is my favorite vocalist along with Yukina of Hanabie.

Pronounced Neh-Moh-Fee-La

Great reaction!....Nemophila (neh-moe-fee-la) is 🔥🔥🔥 Most people start with Dissention (MV, Japanese ver.) or Revive (MV) and then Adabana (MV), Rise (MV), etc. Here are suggestions based on Mayu's lead vocal style Cleans Raitei (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMefmst6qraziZc.html Seize the Fate (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r997eq5iuMuYkqM.html Odyssey (MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJ6Cm82C1azKj4U.html Life (live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ed6df7KZqbzTqas.html Cleans + Screams Revive (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpiVgNJ829nacnk.html Rise (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esd2gZh7mc-0fH0.html Dissention (MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJyRgNiSzd7eaJc.html Oiran (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9dxddGXqM7Ukp8.html Adabana (MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d96JnLKo2Nuap4k.html Ama-Te-Ras (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b5x8hMyet9eul4E.html Screams Zen (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZepg8Vzt66qnac.html 'Zen' (live), Oiran (live) and Dissention (MV) are some of their hardest and best songs 'Live' is an emotional 'ballad-like' song sung in the video as a 'welcome back' to Tamu (drummer) after her maternity leave. Great song and shows a completely different side of Nemophila. 'Ama-Te-Ras' is quite unique 'groovy metal' song and one of their best as well

I prefer the Nemophila - Mayu screams over most types of screams personally. You should do Revive Next - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNOCoLmUmduVaKs.html May be my favorite song of theirs but there are much more.

Lovebites, Nemophila and Band-Maid. The holy trinity af Japanese Rock/Metal. You HAVE to listen also to "THE WARNING" - 3 sisters from Mexico, best classic Rock band since decades. Oh, and don't forget Asterism and Rolling Quarzz! Greetings from Germany!

Knee-Moe-Feel-ah or Neh-moe-feel-ah

ネモフィラね😊今や世界一のガールズバンドなのです、youare・welcome

Your first pronunciation was straight on.

🤘🇺🇦❤️🌸

IMO, this is nowhere near their best song. Although Mayu really does have an epic scream, there was too much in the way of added FX on this song, but then it was an early track. A really diverse band. As well as metalcore they do thrash, punk, nu-metal, rap, old-school heavy metal, hard rock, pop, ballads and probably more stuff I forgot. All great musicians. They have performed with Hanabie in the past and they are also on friendly terms with Lovebites, Gacharic Spin, Show-Ya, Loudness and many of Japan's popular rock bands and legends. Earlier this year they played their 5th anniversary show at Nippon Budokan in Tokyo.

🤘🤘🤘🌸🌸🌸🌸🔥🔥🔥

have you ever incountered Maximum the hormone? thats the band that inspired hanabie and nemophila. if not you should check them hanabie used to be a maximum the hormone coverband

Japanese male metalcore band you should check out is Crystal Lake. Others like visual kei's Dexcore, Jiluka, and Deviloof are good. リアクション楽しみにしてます

Nemophila is another excellent metal band from Japan. Unfortunately Saki (one of the amazing guitarists) just left the band. I also recommend Asterism (song “Dawn”, live), an awesome instrumental Japanese metal band.

you want some more japanese metal(not gonna spoil the metal genre for you), if i can recommend you one that’ll blow ur mind and melt your face. deviloof - torture.

The band you saw here doesn't exist anymore except in name. They lost their lead guitarist which was their cornerstone, and while they are carrying on without her not having that lead guitarist leaves a hole.

Since you liked Nemophila, I'm gonna drop this here and sit in a corner until you react to it: SAISEIGA『RIDE ON』Live Performance Movie by audience's cam kzfaq.info/get/bejne/faeHiKapqLzFmo0.htmlsi=KuzI_44Nq7GXHwzn You can thank me later!

Nemophila is pronounced "Neh-Moe-Fee-Lah"

Great band, great song. 👍 But, paying you for this level of reaction? ☺😊😀😁😂😃😄😅😆 Are you kidding?👎

The translation is not good!
