Thanks so much! It remember a time in the 90s when Gregorian chants were all the rage. Then a few years later we got Du Hast. We had no idea what was happening with either but the music conveyed the message of the song. I’m learning with a LOT of the Asian music (even the pop, dance and rap) I’ve been checking out that the message also conveys well with the music. Lyrics are secondary as the bands do a great job emoting the meaning of the song though tempo, chord choice, key choice, etc. Just amazing!

"neh-mo-fee-la." The first syllable rhymes with "net." And none of the syllables are stressed, they're all spoken evenly.

"Nemophila" is a word that originates in the West (composed of Greek elements), and in English-language dictionaries I've looked at the word is given with the stress on the "mo" (or "moph"). In Japanese there's what's called pitch-accent rather than stress, and words have pitch-accent on one syllable or other (some shorter, two-syllable words are pronounced with no accent). In the case of "Nemophila" the pitch-accent is on the "la", with what some linguists call downstep on the "mo". I see no reason to pronounce Japanese band-names that are composed of non-Japanese words in the Japanese way. If we were to do that, then "Band-Maid" would be "Bando-Maido", "Lovebites" would be "Rabubaitsu" (i.e., rah-boo-bah-ee-tsu). For English-language y t purposes I think stress on the "phi" of "Nemophila" is fine. Quite a few reacters pronounce it that way.

@@otobokegaijin6218 Placing the emphasis on "mo" (or "moff") is the English way to pronounce the flower they are named after. But the band uniquely pronounces it differently from the usual English pronunciation. Oddly, given that the Greek roots are "nemos" and "philos," the English way that you mentioned (which is correct) is counterintuitive to how one would organically say it, and the way the band pronounces it, I feel, is more organic to the roots of the word than how we say it in the US (hey, we're Americans, we never pronounce anything correctly, lol).

Nemophila are one of the best live bands on the planet...no kidding. Technically superb, versatile (from bangers like this to full-on power ballads with equal aplomb), and insanely charismatic. they have the full package.

@ReactionsThatRock don't worry have you done BAND-MAID yet? They are rock not hard rock and certainly not metal but they are a very good band. There are some official live film clips from their recent show in Yokohama. Don't you tell me is the most recent. By the way I bet you can't guess who the two NEMOPHILA girls are who have children. Yes two of them are mothers. What does your mum do for a living I can just imagine the other kids saying.

Nemophila - "baby blue eyes" flower, "Rurikarakusa" in Japanese; grows in N-America and is appreciated in Japan (see "Hitachi Seaside Park"). The band was formed in 2019, originally as a "session" brought together by... Mayu - the vocalist (ex- Lipstick band); Haraguchi-san - (ex- HöLDERLINS band) bass, backing vocals, was Mayu's friend and colleague from Music College; Tamu Murata - drums, backing vocals, one the most respected session musician in Japan (countless bands), with also her own original carrier; she's also the wife of Akira Yamaoka, musician/composer, known especially for his videogames OSTs, in particular for "Silent Hill"; Saki (ex - "Mary's Blood" band for a decade, "Destrose", and others), she's a "young sacred monster" in J-metal) guitar, backing vocals, and... Hazuki (KOIAI "Dark Indigo" / Li-sa-X, Disqualia bands) - guitar, backing vocals; both, Saki and Hazuki have a lot of experience. Nemophila made an amazing fandom impression during the pandemic, thru KZread clips... ...so far about 50 Western/Japanese awesomely bonkers covers, and about 40 original, freakishly insane good songs (singles, EPs - including the JPURecords' Extended Edition of "Oiran", 3 albums - "Revive", "Seize The Faith", "Evolve"). Discography, alphabetical order: 01. ADABANA - 徒花 - "Fruitless/seedless flower" 02. ALIVE 03. AMA-TE-RAS (Amaterasu goddess) 04. Another Story (ballad) 05. A Ray Of Light 06. Back into the wild 07. Blooming 08. Breaking Out 09. Change the World 10. Creature 11. DISSENSION 12. Enigma 13. ENTEN - 炎天 - "Scorching/blazing heat/sun" 14. Fighter 15. GAME OVER (ballad) 16. Hammer Down 17. Hōzuki - 鬼灯 - "Demon Light" - "Winter cherry" / "Japanese lantern" plant 18. HYPNOSIS 19. Justice 20. Life (ballad - their "official anthem") 21. MONSTERS 22. Night Flight (electro-rock song, one of their firsts, used as half-time breakout) 23. now I here (ballad) 24. ODYSSEY (ballad) 25. OIRAN - "Courtesan" (their first original song, in february 2020) 26. OSKR - "OShiKuRa manju" (children's song-game of pushing outside of a circle) 27. RAITEI - 雷霆 - "Thunder" 28. REVIVE 29. RISE 30. Rock’n’Roll Is? (an homage to famous rock bands/artists; the lyrics/melody and style of play are Easter Eggs) 31. Rollin’Rollin’ 32. Seize the Faith 33. Soaring ～to be continued～ (instrumental) 34. SORAI - "Autumn wind" (was supposed to be the original name for the band) 35. STYLE 36. - 群青 37. Waiting for you 39. YELL 〜軌跡〜 ("Kiseki - Trajectory", ballad) 39. ZEN ________ - Another Story... written during the pandemic, with the purpose of lifting the spirit; performed only once on stage for a live stream at the end of December 2020... but - according to Saki - "it's part of 'Cheer to Art, Tokyo Project' (started by Tokyo Metropolitan Government to offer place for artists to upload their work...since all lives, concerts, events and exhibitions had been suspended, all venues had been closed"; was posted on KZread, on this governmental channel: アートにエールを!【音楽 1ch】; although is no longer there, there are some reactions to it, just search "NEMOPHILA / AnotherStory". It's also kept on WebArchive. - Creature, Ultramarine... not part of any official release, but they are performed sometimes in concerts. - Breaking Out... released only during their first live stream in 2020, and performed sometimes in concerts; - Blooming... released only on the official Nemophila KZread channel, and performed sometimes in concerts. ___________________________

Many Nemophila songs mix English and Japanese. Others are all one or the other. Mayu has a beautiful singing voice but she says she is more comfortable with the harsh vocals. Nemophila is a great band. They're primarily metal/metalcore but they fuck with all kinds of genres when the mood takes them. The subtitles are good for getting the gist, but don't rely on them 100%.

Oh yeah, the translations get REAL wonky here. I shudder to think of what some of my Japanese viewers think I’m saying sometimes. 🤪 Honestly, the video side of this is new to me but not the audio. I’ve spent years in front of soundboards with radio, producing commercials, recording music, etc. I’m still stoked to have someone call the levels and the mix “perfect” though. 😊 It’s been a real lesson learning newer digital tech when it comes to gain and lag. I greatly appreciate the feedback!
