@@HarveyAnk Valid points; respect to you. I did not say or even imply that this was a ‘cover’ band. And thanks for the “Shred Racers” session clarification. As I wrote, I ‘liked’ and subscribed. Session players are great, versatile musicians, no doubt, male or female. One has to make use of the resources that are available. I have appreciated male and, unfortunately fewer (many singers), female musicians for many years. That said, maybe it’s my limited perspective, but there’s a lot of entertaining, aggressive (my preference), top-notch rock breaking out of Japan by all-women bands these days. It’s great to see their chemistry when they play together, all the instruments, kick some serious ass, doing it for themselves beginning-to-end, not just ‘novelties’ or ‘cute’ metal. Anyway … I heard the other day that “Rock did not die. It just moved to Japan”. I like that; I am interested. If you have some suggestions, send a list; I will listen. In the meantime, I’ll be watching for more from “Shred Racers”. Regards from NYC.

@@MrGoodgorilla Agree... Rock did not die and moved to Japan, to the homes of a big bunch of japanese ladies especially. That scene is moving very fast, and bands are born or die almost every week. My top 3 (still active or no more) are Mary's Blood (from which guitar Saki and vocalist Eye in that video were), Bridear, Fate Gear. But there are so many many more... I have an ever growing KZfaq play-list of japanese all-ladies rock bands/projects, currently including 48 bands past and present... It could help you to get a hint maybe (includes rock, pop/rock, punk, metal, kawai metal,...): kzfaq.info/sun/PLNTtmKDtu9p0sFxkENu8aFxq3ew6KTdNI&si=q6I-c8e5aHEzLPcw I also have play-lists dedicated to my favs if you check my channel.

look at that guy thinking his own opinion is shared by everybody ! How many likes did you get with that comment, none ? How many likes does Nemophila get per video ? haha I let you check. Amazing how you dared disrespect Mayu and Haraguchi, and even the rest of the band thinking you know better than them. who are you ??

@@Tyreus1 Look at the guy triggered by my comment. 🤣 Haraggchisan is an OK bassist. mayu is an OK singer who is lucky that Lipstick helped her have a career. Good luck though!

@@johnp.johnson1541 well aren’t all of Nemophila pro musicians ? Not only them but Show-ya’s Keiko sang with Mayu and you clown pretend to know music better. What you said was stupid period. If you want to pretend to trigger people to look even dumber it’s you call, you nobody 😀

@@johnp.johnson1541 Mayu is the founder of Nemophila. The founder. Did she put a gun on the other members head to join ? Did she force Nemophila fans to click like and say they love her in the comments ? If you had watched Naon no Yaon the last 3 years you would have seen Keiko from the legendary band Show-Ya sing with joy with Mayu, and with not so much joy with other young singers. Did Mayu also force her ? Maybe you have more knowledge in music than Keiko too ? You just make zero sense, mistaking your personal taste into the general opinion, then you put a smile to try to save yourself. Tamu is a multi instrumentalist, a very talented one, Saki is known way beyond Japan's fronteers and Hazuki has almost catched up to her, yet you pretend those very talented musicians can't realize they have both a singer and a bassist that are just OK.. I don't need your good luck, unlike you I don't make a ridicule out of myself commenting on a video pretending I'm the next Mozart. Mayu covered a multitude of bands, from Journey to X-Japan, System of a Down, Nickelback, Helloween etc..and she was successfull every time, with every video buzzing on internet, that's not the definition of an OK singer. Haraguchi, because yeah, that's how you write it, complicated isn't it ? I mean for small minds, is a good young bass player who again played many different genres out of her comfort zone, and did it brilliantly with a smile as a cherry on top. I can name a dozen overrated bass players that are way worse than her any time, and again you don't seem to get it, those ladies know the whole Japan music scene, if one of the band members was underperforming finding a good bass player wouldn't be an issue, and they weren't all friends before the band, there was just a few connections between them. So yeah, avoid inept comments, Hazuki better suited for KOIAI ?? KOIAI already has Li-sa-X and if the other guitar player was just OK that wouldn't make a big difference, it's pop music with guitars in it, and again Hazuki was acclaimed by her fans in concert just like the other band members, by a crowd of people. So multiple professionnal musicians, legion of fans actually love the band Nemophila just as it is, and then there's you, alone, saying Mayu and Hara are just OK, LOL.And me, I listened to metal since the first Iron Maiden , ACDC, Metallica, I listened to every sub genre, to many other music genres, for more than 20 years, and yeah I confirm this band is special , the WHOLE band, and Mayu is a hell of a singer, singing for her fans while being very pregnant, and Hara-chan is with Tamu the rythm backbone of the band and if she was to leave it would be to the detriment of the band's music, she's very precise, very groovy and yet very humble letting all the other members at the front. They're just probably too good for you to appreciate it, so go back to what you usually listen to, nobody will miss you.

@@Tyreus1 🤣 Way too triggered you are. Meh-u / Mayu. She's OK. Her personal taste in music as evidenced by the covers Nemophila does, is terrible, frankly. Haraggucci (her real name) is an OK player. Producers keep her mixed down because her playing is not integral to the Nemophila sound. 😎 You (stupidly): "You... mistaking your personal taste into the general opinion..." You argue from the fallacy of consensus gentium. McDonalds sells billions of crappy hamburgers. People buy those because they are poor and not because McDonalds sells great burgers. How amusing it is that you wrote 534 words taking 2,906 characters over 31 lines. After only skimming the first paragraphs, I stopped reading, gleefully knowing that you wasted your time to write all that you did. Better luck next time though!
