Pure comedy genius, and serious props to Michael Bolton for embracing this whole-heartedly.

An underrated gem. This song is fantastic

I think KOIAI might be the best bet for Hazuki, professionally speaking. I think Nemophila are having trouble fitting one guitar where there was once two. It's sad, but I don't know how they make the old stuff work without it sounding underpowered.

Kanade Sato is one of the best drummers on this planet

Lisa - X first appeared on KZfaq as a 7-year-old playing the guitar, she first got a lot of attention after uploading a racer - X cove of "Scarified" Paul Gilbert made a video asking her to join his guitar school for free. It does sound like a lot of her guitars sounds are straight out of the 80s.

Many rock fans are unaware of KANADE SATO's existence. KANADE and SENRI are two of the biggest names in drumming, but SENRI's fans are mostly amateurs and mid-level drummers. KANADE is the empress who makes you feel the sound where there is no sound by playing the drums with all four limbs independently and demonstrating a super metronome. KANADE's drum solo video, a professional drummer said that KANADE will surpass Dave Wickle in a few years. Recently, many rock fans around the world have discovered KANADE's greatness through KOIAI's NEW PICTURE, and it is because KANADE is able to create a unified groove in this song, which changes rapidly into various musical genres within one song. I recommend you to watch KANADE's drum solo as a trial. ➡︎ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLWqmc11l9Wqn5s.html HARUNA of LOVEBITES and AKANE of BANDMAID are great drummers, but can they create such a great groove with a long drum solo?　The two drummers who play music without expression are MIYAKO of LOVEBITES and KANADE.

🔥LOVEBITESRULES🔥

When you ask Jazz-fusion musicians to play Prog Rock/metal, this is the masterpiece you get. Btw, Kotono can play a mean guitar too! This combo with Waka can be epic, going Worldwide (i.e. an electronic billboard going rn on the 10 freeway in Banning, CA.). Koiai (coy-eye) meaning can be deep/dark blue (indigo) or deep love.

Kanade Sato started on drums from around 3 years. She was a child prodigy and IS a genius drummer. Her usually spot is Jazz Fusion (she can play anything). She is an absolute joy to listen to and is one of my Favorite drummers together with Akane (Band Maid) and Tamu Murata (Nemophila).

I thought you had seen Li-sa-X Band? with singer Rina (before Korono came and they changed name to Koiai). Anyway, half of the awe I get from LisaX is how prodigious she was/is. Paul Gilbert (of MrBig and RacerX, which inspired Lisa’s stage name, nearly same pronunciation) discovered her on KZfaq at age 8(2013 I think) and publicly offered her free instruction. She was signed to Sony by age 11 for prog instrumentals. Polyphia joined her for their first Japanese tours (2017?age12?) and had her join them onstage. Kiko Loureiro(Angra, Megadeth) published a practice method based on hers. I think it was 2018 when she was 13 that Hazuki [& Narumi, both from Disqualia, Narumi’s album The Seed same producer as Lisa, and original Lonesome Blue member] first joined LisaX, well over a year before Nemophila, and has wisely stuck with her. I’m sure they all learn from each other, it’s rare air, who else will teach them?! So, my point: Lisa might seem young yet experienced. But it truly blows my mind that she was doing the Satriani thing in 6th grade, putting out mature fusion in 8th grade, slowed down (LisaX Band only released 4 songs while she was in high school), toured Asia/India before senior year, then released this live video album (sold out in 36hlurs or some such), but even in this video (Oct 2023) she was only a few months out of high school, age 18. Tons more to her resume, enough for now. Besides all 4 LisaX Band songs, I also recommend Koiai covering Dirty Loops covering Hikaru Utada’s hit Automatic. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNSadMtmnbWlYWQ.htmlsi=JQNm5BgT5OB5fFK6

Kanade Sato is a monster! Every musician on that stage is a monster! I hope they make more music like this.

hazuki🤘🏻🔥

For me it's very intense and not your everyday type of song. Thanks guy's.

Koiai means Deep Love, or Deep Indigo according to Lisa-X. My reference is their India tour documentary video on KZfaq and Instagram. These two meanings are also are the titles of their first two albums. Apparently, it is one of those Asian words with multiple meanings. Love the band. They are generally softer, or perhaps a little poppy, so this one surprised me in composition. However, all of them are top shelf musicians that were unleashed a little more on this track.

Weird, but good weird, that works for me. Loaded with talent, this group is really good, I am looking forward to more stuff from them.

This is my favorite of theirs so far. I love that they let Lisa-x and Hazuki loose and they just shredded.

Both Li-Sa-X and Kanade Sato were basically child prodigies on their instrument and both were already known from a very young age because of the internet. Both started performing (not playing their instrument) in their early teens (maybe before in Li-Sa-X's case, I believe she got signed by Sony when she was 12). I know Kanade Sato joined her first band (Ear Candy Jazz Factory) when she was in her mid teens. She is also involved in an other jazz fusion band (Muses) and plays live and on albums for Rie a.k.a. Suzaku, who is also one of her bandmates in Muses but typically is a metal/hard rock guitarist on her solo albums. Li-Sa-X and Kanade Sato are both in their early 20's now. Btw, both Koi and Ai means love in Japanese (I am pretty sure with a slightly different meaning), not sure if it has a meaning together or if they had an intention for the name though. I have a feeling they had to change the name "Li-Sa-X Band" after Li-Sa-X left Sony (and when their old vocalist stopped and they replaced her with Kotono).

Yes, check out KOIAI's cover of "Automatic".

It is an ancient German language!

Kotono was a singer/ dancer in Ironbunny and also was a dancer for Babymetal in the later half of 2018. Before the arrival of Avengers in 2019.

Nice reaction guys, great track, ferocious guitar from Hazuki and Lisa -X.You should check out Kanade Sat more a fantastic drummer either rock or rock / jazz fusion.

Hazuki joked that the working title of this song was "Tendonitis". They're doing a show Aug. 16 celebrating Hazuki's birthday and a 3rd EP. And in Oct. a show with Takayoshi Ohmura (of Babymetal's Kami Band among other distinctions) and his band. Ohmura and Li-sa-X are buddies and have performed together before (with the great Senri Kawaguchi guesting with Ohmura's band on drums). I'm going to the Aug. show and want to go to the Oct. show. Following the music scene in Japan locally can be expensive-but well worth the financial pain.

Thanks for an interesting reaction video. Koiai’s set list for their first live contained 20 songs. The Blu Ray dvd of that concert sold out very quickly. Such wonderful live music. Lots of great tracks to request !

About Kanade Sato (drums) - she's (usually) a jazz-fusion drummer, and one of the most promising young drummer in Japan. She also plays with RIE aka Suzaku (as support and in their band Muses). All-star band indeed, and having Wakazaemon guesting on bass is the cherry on the cake - did you already heard her with Marty Friedman (she's her bassist)? she's freaking good! "a Frankenstein of a structure" "Bipolar" "song with mental issues" is hilarious ... and spot on, and I totally love it. I hope this is the kind of musical path they'll keep on exploring.

great song from an underrated album! vital signs was huge, but caught in the game is arguable their best album!

🔥🔥🔥 🤘🏻🌸🤘🏻

Thanks guys. My favourite line is “beat the puzzle I” where I’m thinking “square root of minus one”. An impossible riddle. Lovely song and your breakdown was thoughtful as always.

Suuuuper underrated NEMO song

As a Black person I’ve heard all the appropriation stuff. After this movie I researched. I learned Elvis’ mother picked cotton, that Elvis lived in a Black neighborhood. He loved, respected and credited rhythm and blues and gospel. Elvis had soul. That’s just a fact.

React to road to resistance by babymetal

Great song. Thanks 🐲🪰

Love these girls thanks for the reaction!

One of my favorites too. Also known as DEMON LIGHT and SAKI has called it ONITO. 🌸✨️🌠

Thanks for reacting to this much overlooked great song by Nemophila !

Love the song! Every time I see this song tittle I keep thinking it is mv of Hazuki, who is one of my favorite guitarist and of the two when Saki was with them.

That's what I really love about Melissa; she has a gorgeous voice and it's amazing how she always switches from her gorgeous clean vocals to her growls and back.

First time ever hearing and seeing this act. Very cinematic for the first few minutes, then very heavy metal and a dark theme. Not a radio edit that's for sure.

For those of us that have followed the fairy voice mother over the last couple of years and have seen her been candid about her past life story there is some insight and it seems that this song is about her father, that split with her mother when she was young. At least that's how I see it, could be wrong of course, but it goes deeper than just unresponded romantic love. Regardless, it's an amazing song, better than so much soulless music being just thrown out there these days.

Well their uniforms first relied on ancient Roman armour, till they went back to normal dresses and got their real secrets. They give them in their uniforms their Poster and Form while their normal appearance changed. They can go among people and no one really recognizes them. Since they are the new Babymetal they sometimes allow selected backstage images through or more precisely, they are old enough that no one can claim anymore to be their legal repräsentative. But you wont really recognize them.

maria 🤩😍

You take the so called best pop singer out there & Id be confident putting maria up against them for her Vocal range, control & talent.

Babymetal is the accumulation of every metal and rock band from the last 60 years to now .....they are the APEX of what rock and metal has become.....THE FOXGOD HAS RISEN

🍅💀🍅 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Break !

The lyrics aren't translated; they are in English. But they leave a lot of room in interpretation. Been a lot of discussion about what the song means, and the performance makes me reconsider.

Just wanna add that Tokyo Jihen's albums have followed a TV themed title: Adult, Sports, Education, News, General

Another beautiful song from Lolli Wren. So far we've had three, all three were very different from each other, but all three were fantastic, and her beautiful voice carries them all. I was thinking Kate Bush just before you said it 😂 Thank you for another great reaction. Totally unrealated: Just two days until the Scorpions concert... I splurged on VIP tickets with front of stage access. 😁
