Mayu’s son was born in late November 2022 so he is about 18 months old. This is a great song and cover. It really makes me regret not seeing Loudness when they performed in Dallas a month, or two after Nemophila in early 2023.

Thanks for the details on Mayu and thanks for commenting.

Akira Takasaki is most likely the most underrated guitarist to western metal fans. Like Hell and Crazy Doctor are2 killer tunes. Nemo also covered Crazy Doctor and it kicked ass.

Will check it out.

This is a great version, and shows that although losing Saki (guitarist) had its affect, it didn't deter Nemophila from their path.. Hazuki (imo, a much underrated guitarist) can take up the challenge quite handily and run with it.. Meanwhile amazing bassist Haraguchi-san throwing in more bass runs, and fills, along with Queen Tamu getting even more tecnical, and detailed on that drum kit, shows they'll keep moving forward..If you get a chance check out their revised four member version of their song "Rise",(evolve) and "Back into the Wild" (evolve).. and just for fun "Slang"

I have all of those coming and I agree Hazuki is very much up to the task and very capable.

100% Hazuki is way underrated as a guitarist. Maybe she has preferred to sit in the background up until now, but she is certainly more than capable of leading a group, both in terms of playing and stage presence.

I love this band because of Hazuki san 😍😘

>"what are they spelling?" The chant of "M.Z.A." featured in the song came about when Norman asked Niihara to come up with something to sing over the main riff between the chorus and next verse. "M.Z.A." means nothing, and it was intended to be replaced with another line in post-production. When Niihara couldn't come up with anything to replace it, the "M.Z.A." chant survived.

Yes Akira Takasaki is a superstar who co-founded the band and Killer Guitar, and yes they have the MOTLEY CREW vibes but when they go heavy, they go heavy! You need to listen to LOUDNESS track titled LIKE HELL. 🤘🏻

Will do.

Hazuki just showing off.

I think I gave you wrong information... some videos show Hazuki using Marshall amps and cabinets. But after some research I found out that she mainly uses a Kemper Profiler Rack and sometimes an Engl amp. Sorry for the misleading information.🤭

Great reaction.👍 Of course, Hazuki uses Marshall... Saki does too. Nemophila also has a version of the Loudness song "Crazy Doctor" that is faster and has a flashier solo performed by Saki: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnWeyNF9oafNYtY.htmlsi=AOyxWWXAit37lcE3 Personally "Crazy Nights" doesn't sound much like Motley... to me it sounds more like Judas from the Screaming or Defenders. By the way Loudness is still strong and active, in fact Nemophila and Loudness are friend bands and have shared the stage on more than one occasion.😎

My comparison was more about the guitar tone on the first Motley Crue album, not so much song writing. check it out if have a chance. Thanks for the link.

Loudness with Mike Vescera (later Rising Force) kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGdmx6uyednSqrw.htmlsi=qF25LxLcaPkwzqEm

I think Hazuki has been using Engel amps lately, pretty sure it's an Engel Fireball, but I have also seen her using a Boss Katana for some stuff as well--probably the Engel for Nemo stuff and the Boss for covers. Those Fishman pickups also seem to be a new addition. Hizaki from Versailles is still my #1 guitarist but I think Hazuki is at #2 now, now that she's been able to let loose some more. She's obviously talented, but the stuff she's done with Li-sa-X/Koiai shows that there's A LOT more skill there we haven't seen yet.

Thanks for the gear info, I’m a huge ENGL fan. I have several, I might check out Versailles on your recommendation.

@@GuitarSoloReactions YOu may have done Versailles before, I think "Vogue" but would definitely recommend "Aristocrat's Symphony" and "Ascendead Master" to start. Also, Hizaki just released a new solo album with "Stella Maris" as the first singe and MV and features Jill from Unlucky Morpheus on violin.
