Hazuki has been supporting Lisa-X's live since Lisa-X was 12. Hazuki is like a big sister for Lisa-X. In the interview, Hazuki laughed that Lisa-X didn't ask her if she want to join Koiai, but when she heard about forming Koia from Lisa-X she was already a member. Hazuki will always make time and be there for her little one while killing it as a lead guitarist of Nemophila.

Lisa X is phenomenal. Truly phenomenal! BUT Drummer Kanade Sato is just as phenomenal. I doubt that there are many drummers who could even come close to playing this song with the incredible technique and fire that she displays here. This is truly a group of four instrumental virtuosos and a wonderful singer. You didn’t mention the spectacular drumming.

Like Li-sa-X, the drummer Kanade Sato is also up there in ability. In my opinion, they are the two most skilled members of the group. Yes, the rest are also good too. Overall, lots of potential for this band. I just hope they go more in the direction of this song.

This is such a cool song. Nice reaction. Yes Lisa f**ing shreds! So the other lead guitarist in this video who was also absolutely shredding, other than Lisa X, was Hazuki. Hazuki is in the band Nemophila who you haven't checked out yet, but you could :) You could check out the below Nemophila live. There are 2 official lives of this song with the same name, the one from 2 years ago I think is the most fun one for an intro to the band. NEMOPHILA / OIRAN [Official Live Video] Plenty of shredding, and much more, from Nemophila. There was also a second shredder in Nemophila called Saki, she left recently but most of their existing lives and MVs have both guitarists in.

Maria, Amazing!, Amazing!, Amazing! This is progressive metal on STEROIDS!!!!!!!!! You are so right Maria, the other young Lady on guitar is Hazuki, she was from the other band with Li-Sa-X. Hazuki can also play her guitar to the max!!!! To answer your question on the keyboard on this performance, I couldn't find any info on who is performing it. It could be a click track added or someone in the backround adding it, at the right time, not sure, that info was not listed. The supporting Bass was listed though, as Wakazaemon, an amazing Bass player. The drummer, Kanade Sato is also a beast on her drums!!!!!! Amazing!!!!! I hope the added lyrics for this song I sent you was helpful. The lyrics & music was written by Li-Sa-X. In the other KOIAI song I submitted "Automatic" will show Kotono's voice really shines, and see how she really is a really good singer, and great for the band. Thanks so much Maria, for the amazing reaction, and I'm so glad you are enjoying the talent of these awesomely talented young Lady's. Vocal : Kotono, Guitar : Li-Sa-X, Guitar : Hazuki, Drums : Kanade Sato, Supporting Bass : Wakazaemon God Bless You, and your Family, and your Beautiful Kitties, Peace & Love, Thomas & The Kitties from Indiana

The bass player is from the band east of Eden

Like Lisa and Hazuki, I play an Ibanez 7-string guitar. Sadly, the common ground ends there. I've been playing for 50 years and I have never been as fluent or articulate a player as either of these women. I've never even come close. I blame their parents.

The best song that I've heard from KOIAI :)

Japanese pronunciation is very easy. It only has five vowels, expressed by 5 alphabets: A, I, U, E, O. And consonants: K, S, T, N, H, M, Y, R, W, G, Z, D, B, and P. All sounds in Japanese are expressed (basically) as the combination of a vowel and a consonant. There is no sound that does not have any vowel. This system was conceived in the 19th Century to express the sounds of Japanese language (which were/are written in Japanese letters for thousands of years) by alphabets, so it does not have exception. "O" sounds like the first "o" of "odor", "I" sounds like the "i" of "is/it", "A" sounds like the "a" in "what/another", "U" may sound like "oo" of "cool", and "E" sounds like "e" in "bed". No changes happens to any vowels. So, now you can read "KOIAI"! (It would sound like, "Coy I")

That was amazing, and much too short.

All four instrumentalists are SS level musicians. Li-sa-X < prodigy, genius; Kanade Sato (drums) < prodigy, genius (for real); Hazuki < Jedi level (lead g of Nemophila) < she is in her Super librarian form (LOL);. Wakazaemon (bass) < absolute jedi tier bassist. Again, they are absolutely world class, SS level musicians.

Wait... you never reacted to Nemophila? Hazuki's other band! You are in for a treat! In almost 5 years... 39 absolute brilliant original songs, and more than 50 Western/Japanese bonkers covers.

Since you are doing the Babymetal thing with OSN. Singer Kotono was actually a dancer for Babymetal in 2018 (Dark Carnival Night) although without the blonde hair. She was also a singer in Ironbunny. Lisa is friends with former Babymetal guitarist Takayoshi Ohmura, who you would see with a bright sparkley pink guitar in BM performances (he also after 2017, will use Mikio's burgundy mist guitar) The support bassist Wakazaemon has light pink hair here. But does become Bright Pink when playing in her band East of Eden (should check them out too). She is also support bassist for former Megadeath guitarist Marty Friedman.

0:24 the second time... perfect pronunciation. Koiai = "dark indigo" in Japanese lang.

This is a legitimate super group. Every performer on that stage is a Tier 1 Godzilla level monster. Kanade Sato from Muses on drums. Kotono from Ironbunny on vocals. Hazuki from Nemophila on guitar. Wakazaemon from East of Eden on bass guitar. And Li-Sa-X, of course. This band needs to focus in this direction musically. Many of their pop offerings are pretty generic, in my opinion, and feel like watching a formula 1 race car drive around at 25 mph. This is different. This band could shatter everyone's mind if they focus on making music like this going forward.

Lisa-X is fantastic. Don't underestimate what Hazuki is doing on the guitar. She is every bit as efficient on the guitar as Lisa-X. Probably more, in my opinion. She just does it in a Miyako-style, unassuming way.

Li-sa-X's guitar work is unbearable!
