Name an expensive item you don’t need but want! I want the ZEMATIS!

Aldious... the cursed band already went through 3 singers who all left because health issues and Marina (the drummer in this video she is the step daughter of Terry Bozzio who was the drummer for Frank Zappa) just left in February for health issues too... I was at the last show they played with her in a ridiculously small venue in Shibuya, lots of tears were shed that night 😭 Marina as 3 bass drums to pay homage to Terry Bozzio, Only 2 are used the 3rd is onmy here for esthetic

I love when a drum beat sounds like an unstoppable train barreling down the tracks. Makes me wanna go driving, and fail miserably at keeping to the speed limit.

As others have said, Aldious are one of the oldest bands of the current generation of all female Japanese hard rock/metal groups, being founded back in 2008. They've had the same guitarists and bassist since 2010 (Yoshi, Toki & Sawa), but the lack of lineup stability outside of that, particularly on the vocal side of things has really hurt their overall momentum at times. They've just lost this drummer Marina (2015-2024) due to ongoing health issues limiting her ability to gig and the latest singer Maki Oyama is billed separately, not a support musician but also not a permanent member (she's been with them since 2021 and super reliable, but also has her own solo career). Before Maki they had three other vocalists, Rami, Re:NO and R!N. The singer here is Re:NO who left the band at the end of 2018, also with health issues, she later restarted her career as a solo singer in mid 2022.

For some reason I feel that the "Animal inside" NittPicc is probably a squeaky puppy.

If you search for Miku at Zemaitis, you will see her visiting their facility in Japan. It was mostly because of the production of her "Flappy Pigeon" signature. In 2016 she was looking for something else than Rickenbacker, which she bought more because of the aesthetics. It became a cooperation between them, which after 5 years was celebrated with her signature. During this visit, we also see how the 10K guitar is being made. Yes.. it's real Mother-pearl glued on piece by piece. I believe Miku got one too, but hangs mostly on the wall. Hmmm.. yeah... 3 bass-drums: could be very much just for show. Tuning all 3 of them takes ekstra time, so often you see drummers with double only use 1 for the convenience. I would guess Marina did just the same when touring.

God I love your reactions !!!! So much passion, hillarity and knowledge... And to one of my all time favorite bands.. Thanks so much for this... So many awesome tracks, you really need to see them live, especially the clips with Re:No singing.. She is a very cool front Lady and just a beautiful soul.. Many people don't like her voice and knock her in the comments saying she is too soft and isn't rock enough? For me that is what makes her so special as you will see as you go on through their catalogue.. Her silky smooth and haunting voice perfictly suits their general style.. There are hundreds of rock voices out there, but only one Re:No.. Check out Reincarnation live and you will see what I mean... You will also see "clasical haunting violin" together with full on "bouncing bow metal violin" in the same song.. Its awesome.. Thanks so much NittPicc... Sending you best wishes as always from France

There is something special about a female band that is able to kick our asses with powerfull elegance 🤘🤘

Who's an Aldious fan? We Are!

Zemaitis is my dream guitar brand too. Once I'm able to play somewhat decent (big if), I'll definitely buy one too.

This is the 1st band and song I heard from the Japanese rock/metal scene. It popped up on KZfaq and I decided to check it out. I love it. Many great songs from this band, though this is my favorite. It was because I checked these awesome women out that KZfaq suggested Band-Maid to me and I'm in love with that band, even seeing them live once so far.

One of the early bands that kicked off the all female metal scene in Japan. Formed in 2008 by guitarist Yoshi and vocalist Rami. This is their second singer Re:NO. Check out a couple songs with their original singer and my favorite, Rami Aldious - Luft (Music Video) ※Re-Upload Aldious - Spirit Black (Music Video) ※Re-Upload

Aldious (formed in 2008) are often credited as the band that started the all-female metal boom. Others include Destrose (2007) and Mary's Blood (2009), and of course Japan has a much longer history of all-female bands (e.g. Show-Ya; 1981). But anyway, besides making some great songs such as this one, Aldious have an important place in music history.

Just type "Miku - Zemaitis factory tour" in youtube and your pigeonesque guide will lead you thru a little paradise (at least for guitar lovers)

Aldious rules!! First I gotta say that you’ve become my favorite reactor, I love how you quickly point out the essence of a song, you had me on your reaction to Ado! You seem to hit the nail on the damn head and you enjoy what you’re hearing!! Great reaction as always and keep rocking

These ladies are great. So much great rock and metal coming out of Japan.

That Pearl fronted Zemaitis is a masterpiece of artwork.

My second favorite Japanese band. Technically Aldious is power metal but a softer version of it. Nothing like Lovebites or Dragonforce. One of the BEST power ballads I’ve ever heard, and this includes anything from the 80s is Fragile from Aldious. ❤ Re:NO has a very unique voice. I miss her in the band terribly. Aldious is probably done as a band. They have been without a permanent singer for almost four years and Marina the drummer recently left as well. Makes me sad. 😞 As for the triple bass, Marina’s stepfather is Terry Bozio. Look up Terry’s “Big Kit” and you’ll understand. It’s purely for decoration. Last point. If you want that Zemaitis pearl front “Ring” or “Ring Chess” guitar it is going to set you back $10,000.

i believe that is a Zemaitis "Portrait" Pearl front. $9999.00 .

There typically isn't a reason to have more than two bass drums except for visual effect. But notice that the one all the way to the drummer's right is larger so it's possible she uses it for some sonic purpose in a given song. However, with modern triggering even that wouldn't really be necessary. She could also have a trick slave pedal hooked up so she can play all three at once. But I tend to think it's probably for show.

Toki was one of the many j-metal guitarists that gave birth during the Covid break.

I know there are "other groups" in Japan that get discussed when it comes to symphonic metal but my 2 favorites are still Unlucky Morpheus and Aldious.

Toki(the guitarist with pink V guitar)🥰 you should check out another all female band Lovebites

Isn't NittPicc the most fun reactor on KZfaq? 🥳

The bass drums are different sizes so you’ll get a different pitch out of it, I assume the larger the deeper tone

Marina recently left the band due to a serious illness that prevented her from touring. Aldious recently played 3 shows to say goodbye to Marina and went on hiatus.

So you finally found Aldious.🤩High energy and speed. Looking forward to see more reactions to this great band. And so much more to explore. Try „Blackcult“ by Hagane.

NittPicc you can buy Miku's custom "Flappy Pigeon" zemaitis. I'm guessing you have a capacious purse?

ZIMITIS guitars are so CAPTAIN KRUNCHY 🤟🔥🤟🐺🦧🍌🙏

Thanks for reacting to my favorite song from Aldious. These ladies rock! 🤘🎸🥁🎤

I remember finding this video and being really disappointed when there wasn't much more with the same lineup. At least we get to enjoy what's there and share it with NittPicc.

Aldious were one of the first of the new wave of Japanese girl-metal bands to form in the early 2000’s, along with Destrose, Cyntia and existTtrace. They are, in their hearts, a metal band, but have done a lot of exploring of various styles and genres. Personnel: Yoshi has been the constant (founder, lead guitar, band manager, audience right). Toki (co-lead guitar, pink Flying-V, audience left) joined a year later and has also been a constant, except in 2019 when she took time off to have a baby (during that time, Narumi toured with them for a year, in between solo projects). Sawa (bass) was there briefly at the beginning, left, and rejoined in 2010. Marina (drums) replaced Aruto, the original drummer, in 2014. Marina is the step daughter of the legendary Terry Bozzio, who played with Frank Zappa for almost two decades. (She has recently announced she is leaving the band for health issues--a recurring theme for this band, which doesn't seem to catch a break.) As with many of the Japanese bands, Aldious have a rock solid rhythm section, over which the guitars and vocals have free range to do their thing. The biggest changes have been at vocals. Rami, the original vocalist, left in 2012 and Re-No took over. Their most commercially successful period was with Re-No, despite some controversy among their fans over whether she was “metal” enough. Re-No retired for medical reasons in 2018, and R!N stepped in. They seem to have bad luck with this position, as R!N announced she was leaving as of July 2021, also for medical reasons, after recording a few songs. Fans have vigorously debated the very different styles of the three women, with Rami being considered the most “metal” but all three bringing a unique sound to the mix. Maki Oyama has been filling in at vocal for some performances. She herself has an extensive resume, having worked with a lot of other artists as well as her own solo projects. The question now is whether they will find a permanent vocalist. Oyama-san appears reluctant to sign on permanently, perhaps because the position is hexed (she has never said that, it’s just my speculation). Marina recently announced she will be leaving in mid 2024, to deal with medical issue. With her impending departure, they face another lineup crisis, and we can only hope that they are able to come through again. Songs to check out (the first one features Aruto, the rest are with Marina on drums) “Dominator” (MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bK2ng92Bq87LcYk.html “We Are” (MV) (you just watch this) “Kanasii Otoko” (live MV) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqlYL2Jl7qlg2Q.html “Reincarnation” (Live) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a52Fqbl-vL-WhqM.html This last one features a spectacular collaboration with classical violinist Chieko Kinbara; it suggests Aldious could have gone in a symphonic rock direction if they chose.

Hearing/seeing this song with Maki Oyama singing is

The drummer in this video has a very famous stepfather. Marina Bozzio is the stepdaughter of legendary American drummer Terry Bozzio of Missing Persons and Frank Zappa fame!

Dollsboxx take my chance or Muses scramble to space are cool somgs too... 😊

ZEMATIS is a good choice. A bit smaller body then usual LP shaped guitars but I am drooling over their "Flying V" shaped guitar!

I am a fairly new fan of them, I heard this song and a couple of others a few years back but they never "clicked" with me. Until I heard them with Maki in Go Away: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pK94n9eU09O9dok.html (potential reaction?) and I started listening to them more. Although I now appreciate RE:NO's melodic and kind of hypnotizing voice, Maki fits their sound more to my ears somehow. Very technically gifted band that I really wanted to see live at some point, until I heard of Marina's health issues, I hope she recovers and rejoins the band.

was havin a real shit start to the day, but this makes it all better. really glad i got to see them live at their last show.

The trouble with reacting to Aldious, who are the first successful band in this genre with their album “Deep Exceed” which should be in any metalhead’s collection, is you’ll get no views. Deep Exceed was a breakout success for a reason - it’s epic. You’ll probably get the least views for Aldious reactions out of all the bands. I have no idea why as they are still one of the best, even two drummers and 5 vocalists in. Their live stuff is awesome and their personality as a band is just brilliant. The dresses are loosely based on “hostess” bar wear - a step up or down from the maids? lol If you can stand the lack of views, Megalomaniac or Dominator live give a good idea of their stage act. Marina has three bass bins because she’s Marina fucking Bozzio, daughter of Terry Bozzio of Frank Zappa and Missing Persons fame. So there’s that. 😜 He uses five, btw, it’s mostly for show. If you can find a live version of “Travelers” you’ll see how good Marina actually is. She just left the band due to a long term illness though. 😕

I just love your reactions, lololololol. I can literally see when you want to stop immediately and don't because it would end up in a 30 minute reaction video...........not that I would complain about it, lol.

Yes, that guitar is a piece of art. I can't play to save my life, but I want it on my wall! And that intro kinda reminds me of Metallica's One.

You should get the Zemaitis acoustic guitar with the heartshaped hole ;) Available in faded red ;) hehe

Screaming with passions, sounds like Inkya Impulse to me,

For a GREAT example of the live energy (and the song I discovered Aldious with), please check Dominator live ("Aldious / Dominator (LIVE) from “Radiant A Live at O-EAST” (DVD)") kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f8Clfc2KmMrQqKM.html

Yes my favorite band of all time. 9 studio albums every one on Billboard Japan top 109 list. They have about 80 songs and not one bad song in the bunch. Highly recommend listening to Dominator live. Radiant A O East version. Pay attention ti the chord progression and the speed of the song.

great reaction. thank you. fantastic band! live version with substitute singer maki oyama is even cooler. and I believe drummer marina is the daughter or stepdaughter of terry bozzio (he is famous for his work with frank zappa and using more bassdrums than the usual drummer, sometimes four).

The Zemaitis Pearl Fronts are pretty. But at $10,000, I would have to be far better than I am.

What i like about Aldious that they have happiest bass player of all metal bands. Ty for reaction that was gorgeous, pls do more live versions. For recommendations Unlucky Morpheus -Tower of the blood live with violin intro

My wife and I bought matching swords for our wedding, I want a matching shield to go with them. Moonstone and amethyst in a dragonfly inlay. Obviously this is for display only, but it is something I certainly want but don't /need/.

Blondie is many years long gone from the band. Maybe the much newer version with Maki would be more representative of their current sound(Maki is fantastic as well, the best they've had in years). Aldious has had a convoluted ride, and has went through a few front persons, and just lost their drummer, who was top tier as well.

The reason the breakdown sounds familiar is because it's an almost exact copy of the breakdown in Ride The Lightning by Metallica.

Aldious has a thrash metal sound to them that I love. This is the 1st Japanese metal/hard rock band I dove into deeply. All the while, KZfaq kept suggesting BAND-MAID and I ignored it for weeks because of the maid costumes. I had had enough of Japanese gimmick bands and wasn't interested in any more.

The Zemaitis Ring Chess only runs about $10,000. Break loose some of that lucrative KZfaqr/Educator money and order you one! Thanks for the reaction!

I love the live version of this song with Maki Oyama. That one is truly fantastic. I actually hope that Maki Oyama would join Aldious on a permanent basis. Before that, I hoped that she would join ASTERISM on a permanent basis... But she does not join anything good, she wants to stay independent... which makes her largely unknown, I would say.

When Ms. Re:NO was a vocalist, Ardious was really good🤘😢←Sorry, translation.

Aldious note 50 studio. score 100 live. This band is 100% electricity 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Miku has one like that too. It's there most expensive model you can actually buy. Miku has pretty much every guitar they make. At least a dozen electric ones and two acoustic.

If you're a professional flutist, I strongly suggest King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard. Checkout their song Hot Water live Remlinger Farms. Awesome flute/rock song. Jammy AF.

Marina the drummer is now also seek, and left the group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovebites must be the next band to react to they probably the best metal band in the world at the moment

Aldious🦋 and Lovebites🐺 are the 2 best bands from Japan

Next: ONE OK ROCK - We are [Official Video from AMBITIONS JAPAN DOME TOUR]. It has 41 million views, please make it 41 million and one

Father of the drummer have three base, and she as her daughter have it three too.

hello Nittpic. if you like the traditional insrtruments music you need chek it Otyken folk band. otyken - Phenomenon or Ummet Ozcan and Otyken - Altay. you are the best. thank you

🤘🦋🐺👑🤘

Aldious is such a good band, but a hard luck band. They have lost three singers due to health issues, including Re:No the singer in this video. Now, they have lost their Drummer, Marina Bozzio (daughter of Terry Bozzio, drummer for Frank Zappa, et al.). They launched the current wave of all female bands in Japan, but you could easily say that "if it wasn't for bad luck, they would have no luck at all".

Aldious is on the verge of disbanding... and its a real shame since they were supposed to be HUGE.... as they had literally everything. On a side note... the drummer is Marina Bozzio... Terry Bozzio's step daughter. (The legendary drummer) I have their whole video performance collection on ether DVD or Buray... And seen them once in Japan...

Aldious facticly stop to exist at the and of 2018 when Great and Beautiful singer RE:No because of illness (Patulous Eustachian Tube) left the band. She found group in 2022 when she was better, but she was not good enough for Aldious as they thaught and they don't take her back.

I was surprised you made the statement if you had one of the zemitis guitars you wouldn't sound too good considering you play several instruments in our music teacher. I would think that you could pick up guitar fairly quickly. Remember Miku didn't start playing guitar until well after bandmade had formed. And she's gotten to be quite good.

There's an argument to be made that the "big four" of Japanese Female Hard Rock/Metal (though for me, it's just Japanese Metal/Hard Rock) is: BAND-MAID NEMOPHILA LOVEBITES ALDIOUS

Great reaction NittPicc.👍 Back in 2016, Aldious was along with Mary's Blood, the most important female metal band in Japan. But more recently the band has gone through many problems that have kept Aldious practically stucked since 2019. The singer in this video is their second, Re:NO, she left the band in late 2018, due to hearing problems, her replacement, R!N, left the band in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic, due to severe disabling stress. R!N was temporarily replaced by Maki Oyama, and although she may be their best singer to date, she declined to join Aldious in order to focus on personal projects. As if all this were not enough, this year their brilliant drummer Marina Bozzio (stepdaughter of Terry Bozzio, Frank Zappa's legendary drummer), left the band due to a disabling chronic intestinal illness. Having said all that, the future of Aldious seems a little uncertain.😐

Zemaitis is so pretty

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Gurl don't go platinum...... go MIKU 🤟🤟

Someone likes early megadeaf

Aldious are superb

Can you react to BE:FIRST Masterplan? That MV is insane!

I still find it funny that Miku uses a Zemaitis only cuz it’s pretty

A band with two lead guitarists has a “twin guitar attack.” By definition, two guitarists cannot be playing a solo at the same time. Perhaps we can say that are sharing/trading leads. The first six notes of that opening riff sound exactly like METALLICA’s one. Notice that the vocalist sings through her nose, a technique employed by vocalists (mainly male) in so many Japanese Rock/Metal/Visual-Kei bands. If you liked this, check out a related band featuring SAKI (ex-NEMOPHILA), MARY’S BLOOD playing MARIONETTE - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7J9Zdifu5bPp4k.html

Please next reaction alip bata again (sebab reaksi kamu da komentar kamu sangat jujur dan tau soal musik) 🥺🥺

Zemaitis pearl fronts cost around US$10,000.00 each. The metal fronts cost around US$3,000.00 each. Beware of fake Zemaitis guitars. I heard there are a lot going around.

I've had my Zemaitis MFG24 for two years. My wife got it for me as a surprise for my birthday because she thought I'd like it and because it's pretty. A year and a half later for our anniversary, she bought me my first seven-string guitar, Fascinator Seven the Empress from Killer Guitars. It's good to be married to an emergency room doctor.

Re:NO 二階堂梨乃❤

So yeah, Aldious are a great band. I think others have sait everything that needs to be said except... I wouldn't have started with this song lol I think it doesn't really capture their sound and to me it is one of their weakest. There's tons of video re uploads no, so hope you get the chance to check them out. And while you are at it, try Cyntia too. They're massively underrated.

Zemaitis... my least favorite member of one of my favorite bands - Fall Out Boy - is endorsed by Zemaitis. 😑

who are band made or baby metal, they are nothing to Aldious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
