This was the first performance after Tamu, the drummer, returned from maternity leave, which is why they face her in this instance. And Hazuki, the guitarist with the Ibanez guitar and glasses, celebrated her birthday, which is what they are doing during those BTS moments captured in the video. And this was the surprise song for Tamu, I believe, as they told her to learn her drumming parts, but without knowing the full song. It is a very special song for members of Nemophila as you may imagine.

This is basically Nemophila’s theme song and is very important to them. At this performance Saki , on the right of stage,gave a speech to drummer Murata Tamu welcoming her back after her maternity leave. The speech was very emotional with Saki breaking down followed by the band. This shows how close these ladies are to each other now. Something their fans respect and love.💙🤘🔥🎸💕🥁🇯🇵

This song is Emotional for these Women. Unlike many Western bands these girls are Band Sisters and Truly Love Each other as such. This is why the Japanese Female bands resonate so well with World audiences. They are Genuine as well as World Class Talented.

The footage for this music video is based on their live streaming on August 22, 2020, and their backstage appearance. The live streaming took place on August 22, 2020, after the second show scheduled for May 2020 was postponed due to COVID-19. Their band was formed in August 2019, which is exactly one year to the day. The drummer, Murata-Tamu, had actually given birth on May 2, so a substitute drummer was booked for this streaming live, but she eventually joined the event herself. In fact, Murata-Tamu, who was already on maternity leave, did not participate in the first live performance, so this was the first time for all five members to perform together at a live venue. Mayu announced for the encore, "I'm going to sing this song for Murata-Tamu," and the performance began. Surprised by this, Murata-Tamu was moved to tears from the beginning of the song, and all the other members were also shedding tears of joy that all five members could perform together. The lyrics of this song are a perfect tribute to Murata-Tamu, who has just given birth to a child.

More Nemophila please!

This video is why I'm a superfan. They are so invested in each other and my heartstrings don't stand a chance. Really beautiful to see this much passion and cameraderie.

This is by far my favorite song of theirs by far. This song was written for and dedicated to Tamu their drummer after returning from maternity leave from the band. That's why they were all gathered in a circle facing her. She didn't even know the lyrics till this performance, that's why you see the camera focused on her so much and why she was so emotional in this. It' was also Hazuki's birthday. Hazuki told the others in the band the best gift she got was Tamu returning to the band. ( according to an article I read ) The First time they performed this live Mayu broke up big time, she couldn't finish the song. But the audience did. It's a very personal song for them.

This is the one song that demonstrates the true brilliance of Nemophila. It's not something they could do time and time again which is what makes it as special as it is. And for the record, a real man is secure enough in their masculinity to shed a tear when warranted. In this instance, it's only an outward manifestation of empathy, something the world is in far too short a supply of at the moment.

one of the best bands out there

Unbelievable. 🥲 World cultural heritage, this song. 😶 What a gift to mankind, this band.

It's a unique vibe for them for reasons others have already said. That doesn't mean it's not up to their extremely high standards. Great reaction!

MONSTERS is another super catchy NEMOPHILA song with a totally different sound and perhaps their best breakdown.

Obviously this was a COVID concert with no audience. But the reason they all turned to face the drummer was because she was just back from maternity leave.

Just 2-3 days before that I meet Nemophila in recommendations KZfaq. I was so excited!!! 🎉. But your review give me a chance relive this track again!!! Thank you!😊

I'm glad you both took the time to listen to this special song. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I´d say, this song to tell my own story as well. I always get goosebumbs all over my body. A beautiful emotional melody and an absolutely amazing vocal from the singer mayu. I love her voice. She is one of the best singers and Nemophila is one of the best metal bands today. Nemophila is a human heart with great musical talent. I've been listening to Metal and Rock for over 30 years, but I've never found a band as human as Nemophila. Nemophila is not a band, but a family. Like sisters. I am extremely happy to have found this exceptional metal band in Japan. Have a good day with my heartfelt greetings :-).

You CAN'T listen to this song without the onion ninjas striking, no matter how much of a man you think you are ! 🤘😢🤘

This was heart stopping when they did it at The Whiskey. It worked me up big time and the sing along was magic.

LIFE 🤘😂🤘 has become their Encore Anthem at their live shows. Represents what this band is all about...untouchable #1 NEMOPHILA track. 🌸✨️🌠

Beautiful song that helped me get through the passing of my mother. Love your reactions 🥁🎸🎶

Great band. Their music rocks, bangs, brutal at times, and very emotional at times. Folks explained here, why this performance was special, with Tamu. This song has me crying, despite not knowing a word sung. Music is universal. Mayus vocals, snd Hazuki, and Sakis guitars cry out in this.

This song and 'Song of Women' by The Hu, get me feeling emotional every time they come across my playlists. Truly wonderful how they basically wrote this song about their love for her and celebrated the change in her life.

Mayu's voice is "one of a kind". You never know which voice she is going use. Some odds and ends, did you notice Hazuki's glasses?; Mayu and Haraguchi were school mates, They look to Tamu to lead as she has the most experience in the industry (per Saki). Your next Nemophila react should be "Monsters" another WOW in regard to Mayu's singing.

Musically speaking, this band has no limit in terms of creativity and songwriting. The best proof of that is their three tracks they released in the past three months: Ray of Light, Adabana and Style. No copy/paste from one track to the next one, they always succeed to surprise us track after track. This is truly insane. You can also try the power ballad "Game Over" from their album Revive (no MV for this one), but this is an EPIC song too. Enjoy! 😉

This was the third track on their first single with Oiran and Monsters. Set against those two it was kind of a let down in terms of speed etc. but it has endured to be a favorite with pretty much everyone - it’s just an excellent song and stands in the history of world music as such. Sadly it’s not going to get the recognition it so richly deserves, but at least those that know, know. This also proved their versatility, they are top tier musicians and can give the right treatment to anything to give it that extra bite that makes good great.

I shed tears right along with you guys. It was every bit as good live!

yes great song

日本から、ありがとうございます！

All Metal/Rock bands have a great/speial ballad, I count this as NEMOPHILA'S 🤘

if you didnt know this was a livestream show and this show was written for Tamu the drummer she was on maturity leave and just gave birth to her 2nd child she didnt know the words just the musical notes and before the song Saki gave an emotional speech to Tamu and without her knowing every band member turned their Mic stands around to face Tamu and then they started singing thats why they were crying in the middle of the song because these 5 ladies are closer then sisters please let me know what you think

On the first live one man show before a live audience Mayu breaks down and cries during this.

they were all facing the drummer who just had a baby and returned to the band after leave .

Yeah, this song = turn on the waterworks, every damn time. One of their very best, and that's saying a LOT as Nemophila have become, in their mere three years of existence, my very favorite band. Absolutely amazing live (yeah, I was at the show at Whisky a Go Go...), as was the whole set. There's a video out there with on-screen (not CC) lyrics in English and romaji with much better translation.

Great reaction as usual. Hits the feels every time. The togetherness of these girls is like nothing I have seen in a band. You have to check out Adabana by them. It's next level. Harry, knowing you are a huge Arch Enemy fan, will we see a reaction to The Watcher??

Beautiful 🥰

Thanks for your reaction! 🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

These girls are SO tight.... as musicians of course, but also as close friends.....and that is what makes them so special. Very different personalities.....and yet so solid together. I absolutely ADORE Hazuki.....but they are all lovely people.

I am only a semi fan of this band, cos not into growling at all, but this song won me completely. As u said very emotional. Wow ! been a fan of hazu since i saw her in Lisa -X band. an astonishing player. Drummer returned with an awesome style and power too.

👏👏👏👏👏🤘💀🤘❤❤❤❤❤ muy buena reaccion

Tamu is a mother of 2 kids, and Mayu is also a mother for 1 kid.

The song was written for the drummer Tamu who was away having her first child , they missed her so much 😭 although Tamu had learnt the song she was only told it was for her when they started to shoot the MV thats why so much emotion and tears , still gets me everytime 😭😭

Man, I really like Mayu's clean vocals. I read how this group formed up as support for a solo project Mayu was considering. But then they decided that the talent in this group was SO high it'd be silly not to give it a full go. Annnnd... dang, they're good! 🤘😎👍

I love yours reactions 🤘🤘🤘💯💯❤️

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

The best Nemophila s song, other emotional song is Band Maid s - Daydreaming

With 'Life' these ladies have created a masterpiece, which is already a timeless classic for me. The sound and the lyrics go so wonderfully hand in hand and also under the skin. And the solo section? If that doesn't scream to be played in a stadium in front of tens of thousands of people, then I don't know what does. This song has rightly become something of an anthem for this band, with which they end their shows. Sure, this performance is primarily dedicated to their drummer Murata Tamu, who was playing with the ladies for the first time after giving birth to her child, but the meaning of the lyrics is actually directed at each and every one of us and every single person out there. Oh, and while we're talking about dear Tamu, I'd like to recommend Nemo's cover of X Japan's 'Kurenai'. :) _____________________ 【 _Till I return to dust I will stand alone in the dark with my pride at the end of time_ 】- from *Nemophila* - '徒花 -Adabana-' 💮

Nemophila's "Life" could be used to replace CAPTCHA tests. If the subject displays no emotion they're probably a robot.

Good song. That's a darn nice shirt you're wearing there, Harry! I need to get me one of those! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Ooh I hope you do Raitei and Adabana soon they're sooo good!

Las mejores sucesoras de SHOW-YA, 1banda femenina de heavy metal japonés y madrinas entre otras de Nemophila, Mary's Blood, Gacharic Spin, Scandal, etc (Fairy, Look at Me, Genkai Lovers, One Way Heart, Gambling, Kurenai, Battle Express, Shooting Star, etc, etc)

seeing your reaction to Life by Nemophila, I think you may like and get a little emotional with the live performance of the song "Journey to the other side" by Lovebites

♥️

ＲＡＩＴＥＩも聴いて！

I would love to hear a Band Maid cover of this with Saiki's lower dominant vocal, Miku's angelic backing vocal, Misa's bass, Akane's crazy drum transitions and Kanami's creative solos.

This is the only song by these girls that I like. I don't like the cookie monster stuff they do. This song though is excellent.
