Welcome to _Harajukucore!_ Hanabie (Ha-na-be-eh) refer to their distinct sound as Harajukucore, a mix of metal, punk, electronic, pop, and rap. The name comes from the Harajuku district in Shibuya, Tokyo which is famous for its trendsetting street fashion, music and art scene. You can definitely see and hear those influences in the video. Hanabie are Matsuri - guitar, vocals, compositions. Yukina - clean and harsh vocals. Hettsu - bass and chorus. Chika - drums. 'Pardon me, I have to go now' is Hanabie's indictment of the Japanese office grind. Matsuri (vo/gtr.) is being buried under paperwork. Sae (dr.) tried to take a break on the roof, but the boss tracked her down. Hettsu (bass) is reduced to being a servant and bringing the boss tea. Yukina (vo) is obviously being harassed by the boss. The ladies are then "forced" to go to a drinking party after work with the boss. The little "peck on the ground" dance is mocking the fact that you have to bow to superiors constantly, making you look like a chicken pecking on the ground. Interestingly, that little dance section went super viral on tiktok and is part of the reason the video has 7 million views in one year. This was the last video with their old drummer, Sae. You kept brining up Limp Bizkit which was comically apropos since Hanabie opened for them during their Australia and Asia tour last November. Here's a link to a great 10-minute interview with the Hanabie while they were in Connecticut touring North America. - ua-cam.com/video/PCWYQ31Es2U/v-deo.htmlsi=-OsqfvsAQA2WQhk4 A few song recommendations for you - 'We Love Sweets', 'NEET GAME', 'Envy', 'Tousou' (run away), and 'Otaku lovely Densetsu' Thanks for checking out Hanabie ❄🌸

more hanabie please! :D "Reiwa Dating Apps" "We Love Sweets" "Otaku Lovely Densetsu" ??

Next , Reiwa Dating Apps Generation

If you have a band that you want us to react to, throw it in here! Thanks for all of the love and passion!

“Ha-Na-Bi-Eh” (花冷え : はなびえ) are Yukina (Vo.), Matsuri (Gu., Vo.), Hettsu (Ba., Vo), and more drummers than Spinal Tap. They are very exciting, and I’m very happy that they are introducing Metalcore to a new generation of listeners. It’s boring to listen to you rattling off the names of bands you listened to 30 years ago. WE LOVE SWEETS, REIWA MATCHING GENERATION, and TOUSOU (sounds something like “toe-sew”, or “tow-sow”) are waiting for you. Have you heard the five female musicians from Japan who call themselves LOVEBITES? Try HOLY WAR, live. You’ll be name dropping for six minutes.

I'd love to see you guys take a deeper dive into stuff that doesn't have a video and tends to be heavier. I'd suggest Sunrise Miso Soup from their first album, Tales Of Villain and Warning! from the second album. Tales Of Villain is probably my favorite song of theirs.

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

You wore me down with your incessant rambles, and losing such a vital and important band 2/3 way through is unforgivable

Hanabie is extremely talented at genre flips, time changes and some really heavy riffs (often behind cute vocals). They are loosly modeled after Maximimum the Hormone (Hanabie used to be a cover band). MTH is a very influentaial & popular older band in Japan. If you want some craxy genre flips, check em out. You've seen Band-Maid & Hanabie, now it's time for Nemophila & Lovebites (One of the best metal bands I've ever seen). The Japanese metal/rock scene is incredible as a whole.

What I find interesting is that Americans keep wanting to say that the music is this or that or the other thing, I think because we've been conditioned to find a place to file the music for the way we've been used by the industry. In Japan, however, I think it's much simpler. They just use whatever feels good here or there, making completely new music because they don't give a damn what we call it. This allows them to make new music, while in America we're dying to fit.

I would say Girl's talk is Hanabie's least hard song. Still solid. Pardon Me and Be The Gal are great though. Hanabie - "We Love Sweets mv" goes hard. As does Tousou, L.C.G, NEET GAME Oh and by the way, in this link of some guy I have never heard of, who is it that shows up on stage at 21 seconds? ua-cam.com/video/fxPEOcztjGo/v-deo.html ----- Obligatory Japanese women fully / fronted / containing, metal / rock / punk bands starter list. Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday mv Nemophila - Dissension mv Lovebites - Judgement Day live Passcode - Taking You Out mv Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire mv Aldious - Go Away mv Bridear - Still Burning mv Fate Gear - Battle Against Justice mv Gacharic Spin - I Wish I mv Mary's Blood - Marionette mv Mardelas - Patriot Anthem mv Kosame - Cord mv Mellows - Closet mv Maximum The Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu mv Show Ya - Fairy DVD version Destrose - Maze live version Maze - Idol Riot Ladybaby - Nippon Manju

🤗

Band-Maid kicks ass, love 'em. If you want to stay with Japanese female bands Otoboke Beaver is thrash punk "Don't Light My Fire" and Hanabie is metal "Girls Talk". Then on a whole other plane is Maximum the Hormone. ua-cam.com/video/MmfUyyUL07A/v-deo.html

Hah - you picked three random videos from Band-Maid and they were great. Pick any 3 more and they will also be great. This band kills it every time.

MISA MISA MISA!!!!! "Hanabie"

Watching Aftermath reactions has been my therapy the past couple weeks. I enjoyed the rest of the discussion too. Thanks!

Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Set the world on fire" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏

I'd suggest you watch all the documentaries by Ohrenje. You will be enspired by what they have done in 10-years.

Band-Maid has done a few anime themes: "Glory", "Sense", "Different", "Shambles", "Corallium", and "Protect You". For Band-Maid, they call their maid outfits their 'Battle Armor' and they call their concerts 'Okyu-ji" or 'Servings' according to their "Maid Café" theme. Mid concert the rhythm guitarist leads the audience in "Omajinai Time" (Magic Time) where she has the audience shouting out a magic spell (basically cheerleading) to bless the concert, meanwhile, the rest of the band is trolling her in various ways. This band has a fierce sense of humor that offsets how seriously they take their music. The joke is that these 5 cute maids are unexpectedly beyond anything you might imagine them to be. To give their vocalist a break, they do instrumentals. "Onset" and "From Now On" are both awe inspiring. This is a band you have to see live. They not only perform at a high level of musicianship, their showmanship nails it everywhere on the planet. I saw them last May in Detroit. I had a group of Argentinians moshing next to me who had flown in specifically to see Band-Maid in a small club. During a break the lead vocalist was asking the audience how far they had come to see them. One guy had come from Japan and another from Ireland. When touring Japan they regularly see people who've flown in from the Americas, Australia, and Europe just to see them. Yes, they are THAT GOOD that you can simply pick songs at random from their catalog and you will not be disappointed. And they're not a 'one-trick-pony', like many Japanese bands, they mix and match genre and they do all of them well. If you want Japanese bands that do crazy and shocking, Try *Maximum The Hormone* or *Hanabie.* they mix it up in blender and produce miracles. Try "A.L.I.E.N." or "We Like Sweets". Another band that puts the Japanese spin on Heavy metal is all female *Nemophila* -try there song "Oiran"

Jimmy Page caught one of their shows a few years back and requested a meet and greet with Akane Hirose {drummer} there are number of photos on the internet of Jimmy with Akane nick name Gorilla. the same 5 ladies for over a decade now.

I haven't missed a single day of listening to them in 5 years. They're beyond words awesome. Welcome to the land of the maid.

Awesome!! Their Live videos are all killer. If you wanna check some studio/MV work then I recommend the ridiculously addictive ' Dice' and some state-of-the-art recent rock with 'Influencer'...with a wicked location too 👊🔥👍🤘🤘🤘

Current female bands I'd recommend from around the world. Lovebites (Japanese Power Metal, talent level is = to Band-Maid). Fate Gear (Japanese Steampunk). East of Eden (Japanese Rock). Rolling Quartz (Korean Rock and a amazing vocalist). The Warning (Mexico Rock - must see). Honorable mention to Sixsters from Ukraine.

Y'all have proven what all Maidiacs know, you can't pick a bad song from these Ladies.

This was so good it's my fourth time coming back just to watch it again. Good job guys!

They are home grown and not "Baby Metal" Japanese music industry created. The rhythm guitarist worked at a Maid Cafe and had a dream od dressing like maids and playing hard rock music. She found the guitarist on UA-cam and she worked with the drummer and the drummer went to Tokyo school of music with the bassist. They needed a stronger vocalist and found the lead vocalist through their record label and the rest is history. The best Hard Rock band you never heard of.

less talk,more ROCK!🤘

👍🤘😁🤗🥰🕊👀

Thanks so much nice reaction! Their genre of music is BAND-MAID, so They never controlled by everyone. How about Without holding back is the next song (at white room)? I hope you`ll enjoy it!

The maids have over 130 songs in their catalog. Please check out their LIVE music videos. My favs are: Turn Me On, Take Me Higher, Day Dreaming, Unleash, Play, etc....

You don't need to fly to Japan to see them live. They tour the US regularly. Saw them live twice last year.

Like hanging with you guys. You played into Band-Maids strengths by only selecting live performances. Some bands dumb down their songs for live shows, Band-Maid does quite the opposite.

Loved this reaction thank you for loving our maids from Japan ❤ I would def recommend onset live next ❤

Great reaction guys. BAND-MAID have a 130+ song catalogue. Not a band song there, although obviously you will like some more that others. That last video was from the finale of their 10th anniversarry tour at Yokohama arena last November, their largest concert to date. Yokohama arena has 17,000 capacity, not full but a hellava lot of fans their from all over the world. I subscribed to the livestream of it and it was fantastic. They played for more than 3.5 hours and a 33 song set list, hard rock, ballads, acoustic, punky, some almost metal, solo vocals and piano from the vocalist Saiki. The guitarist Kanami is their main composer, but has no selfish ego, she writes a song and puts it out to her band mates to add to and amend. She always writes songs that allow her band mates to shine (often I think restraining herself, often short but sharp solos). You may have noticed the bass is usually featured way up front, not surprising as Misa is such a great bassist. Same members as when they started 2013. I admire the way they have worked, they have done it the old traditional hard way, constant touring at home and in Europe and the USA. Playing very small venues, driiving themselves about and carting their equipment about. Because of this they have honed their craft and are a very tight band, both musically and personally, they (unlike a lot of western bands) are the best of friends. Better stop or I will come across as a fanboy!! Oh other Japanese bands to check out are Nemophila, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin

Hey who’s in New Jersey? I live in New Jersey! 🍺😁🤘🏻

Hi Airborne Sealife, welcome to the world of Band-Maid. Hope to see more Band-Maid here in the future ?

27:22 that was Maximum The Hormone, not Dir En Grey

Wow, the reactions to this video is INSANE! Thank you all so much for watching. We have realized that Brendan may have mixed up Geddy Lee and Neil Peart in his head there for a minute and has been punished by writing the lyrics to Subdivisions 50 times on the chalk board in its entirety.

Welcome to the Band-Maid club, guys. These ladies are terrific and have a big catalog of great music. PS, Band-Maid has done a couple anime songs.

Well hell, I gave you a suggestion about "Hate?" and you already did it. Sorry!

Roger Chance and the carrier pigeons strike again. Guys, if start reacting to Band-Maid, someone will give you a full rundown on the band, it's history, it's members, and their huge fandom called the Maidiacs. A lot of us are old geezers who have fallen back in love with rock because of the VERY talented young Japanese females. The will defy each and every rock genre because they create their music often incorporating more than one genre into a song. Now, I suggest you listen to two recently released songs, "Hate?", the official live video, and "Bestie", the official music video. Another note, Band-Maid and The Warning recently did a two-man concert in Tokyo. During their time together touring Japan and practicing, the collaborated on a song titled "Show Them", which will be released on Band-Maid's upcoming album. They performed the song together for the first time at the end of Band-Maid's set during the concert. Believe me, it's a hard rock banger. There was a bootleg video of the live song on UA-cam which was quickly taken down and the people who showed it were given copyright strikes.

👍🤘😁🤗🥰🕊👀

They are rock and roll guardian angels and the best hard rock band on this planet🤘Keep an eye on them!!

Is that a shotgun slug turned into a mic ? sick

If you put the song titles in your heading you will get 3,000 views in a day. Welcome to the wonderful world of Band-Maid. Great reaction guys- Thanks.

If you want something wild, yeah there are some. Of course they are rock-core, so there's no metal growl, but you can still hear gritty rock voice here and there. And it has to be live version if you want to hear Saiki's "grit". Their recent fast and chaotic style songs have explosive drums (still with multiple rhythmic patterns make you engaged), Moratoriam has deep purple/ac/dc vibe but with multiple elements of different genres. Their instrumentals are amazing too.

These are three songs very representative of their live performances. Band-Maid is a band that composes its own music, drawing inspiration from the classic hard rock of the 70s and 80s but giving it a modern sound by adding different kinds of rock but also blues, jazz, funk etc. They are increasingly asked to do anime songs (Glory, Sense, Different, Shambles) which is a great mark of recognition. The song Protect You for the Grendizer anime will be officially released on July 5. Thanks guys.

There's nothing wild about them except for how wildly good they are. If you want to get more of a sense of "the gap", as they call the contrast between their maid look and their music, look for the video of them performing at Lollapalooza last year and watch through their opening instrumental, From Now On. A lot of people in the crowd probably had no idea they were going to get their faces melted by Japanese maids.

Was so happy to see them live during their U.S. tour. They are that good live!

I think of you're going to check out Japanese rock then Babymetal is required. I recommend Monochrome. Or if you want more weird then Gimme Chocolate.
