As much as I have been listening to Hanabie lately, and, that's quite a lot, it still surprises me to hear that growl come from someone as tiny, and, adorable as 4' 10" Yukina.
The three gals other than the drummer have been at this together since middle school. They started as a Maximum the Hormore cover band, but quickly found their own "voice."
Surreal. And amazing. Reminds me of Nemophila's story: Started as a _session_ band (for the singer Mayu?), it just fit, they stayed together, and "boom". So outrageous... 😁 Many other bands try line-ups and have to give up... 🤷♂
There's a great video called "The right way to say hanabie" worth checking out. Hanabie are one of the best bands you can see live. I was lucky enough last June to see the two live giants of performance, Hanabie and Nemophila together in Nagoya. Best concert I've seen in 40plus years.
For me, as a Japanese, I miss it. About four years ago, when Japanese female-only bands were beginning to attract attention, this song suddenly became one of the most popular bands as a newcomer. It is no exaggeration to say that this song has become synonymous with Hanabie. It's a short song, but it seems to pack a lot of things into a compact space.
How are Japanese female fronted bands so good? Bandmaid, Babymetal, Nemophilia, Lovebites and Hanabie. One band after another with awesome sounds. Did Japan steal the secret to awesome rock?
Welcome to _Harajukucore!_ Thanks for reacting to Hanabie (Ha-na-be-eh). They refer to their distinct sound as Harajukucore, a mix of metal, punk, electronic, pop, and rap. The name comes from the Harajuku district 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. Nobody is expecting those vocals from Yukina. She's 4' 10'' and roars like 10' tall grizzly bear. And nobody is expecting a song about sugar addiction to go this hard, either. That's a running theme with this band, they tactical a lot of everyday problems in the most brutally entertaining way possible. You are gonna love this band. Here's a few song recommendations for you - 'Otaku Lovely Densetsu', 'Be the GAL - early summer ver.', 'NEET GAME', 'Envy', 'Reiwa Dating Apps Generation', 'Tousou' (run away).
Please more Hanabie!! Excellent reaction!! you are spot on about the time changes, the transitions, the composition, the writing style, and their look and feel of what they do is so good!! Next song reaction L.C.G. please. Both we love sweets and L.C.G. is from their first album Girls Reform Manifest released in January 2021. Flew from LA to Sacramento two weeks ago to see them live!! best money spent this year!!
Yeah, they are pretty insane and amazing live. Yukina, the lead singer, has a penchant for stage diving and crowd surfing, and so do the fans. Last live video I saw, a young man in a wheelchair was crowd surfing, and he was outta his mind smiling.
I love Hanabie and they are fantastic live. I saw them last October in San Diego and then again the following night at the Whisky in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, they don’t have many live videos available.
I love this song for first time Hanabie reactions. Oh what a cutesy voice! they must be J-Pop... then a 4' 10" Yukina comes in with her Harajuku-core growl backed up by Matsuri and Hettsu with their stank-face inducing riffage! ...and I get to see the reactors brain disconnect as their face drops into a slack jawed WTF?! double-take pause.
I set my alarm for this. You know... there is a lot of bad stuff going on in the world these days. But when I hear this song and I see your reaction, I feel great! In the last two years, this is my favorite song. Thank you so much for checking it out. Love you guys!❤
Haha...You wake up to this?...I think I need to try this 😂😂..its like "Im up Im Up!! "😳😳 😂.. This song completely energized us immediately..... Thank you so much for watching 🤘 ..WE ❤️ 🫵

It's people like you that fuel us to do this!!.. we truly do it for our passion and love for music and artists.. Words cannot express how much we appreciate you! Love You Brother ! .. We promise to keep them coming 💙
I saw and meet Hanabie back in May of this year they are one of the best bands in the world 🌎 live meeting these amazingly talented ladies was also amazing experience they are so much fun on stage member are Yukina - harsh vocals, clean vocals (2015-present) Matsuri - guitar, clean vocals (2015-present) Hettsu - bass, backing vocals (2015-present) Chika - drums (2023-present) they had two drummers 🥁 Before Chika official join Hettsu my favorite member of the Hanabie you call them Hanabie eh not Hanabie but they are freaking amazing 🤩 live!!! Any song by them are awesome 😊🤘
I absolutely _love_ that you call out the composition. Primary musical composer Matsuri (guitar/clean vocals) is indeed a genius. Songs with THIS many change-ups in tempo, time signature, genre influence, and a bunch of other aspects packed into short run times _should_ be unlistenable messes. Instead, she nails it every single time. Hanabie. have no weak tracks. Not. One.
Saw them in concert last year in Atlanta, freaking awesome. They hit even harder in person, and honestly made the other performers feel underwhelming. Second favorite concert of all time. If you guys really enjoy this I can tell you right now, Crystal Lake - Into the Great Beyond. They're another metal core band from Japan, you will not be disappointed, guaranteed!
"TOUSOU" or "Pardon me I have to go now" are good songs to explore next. I'll add a personal fav "L.C.G." Which is one of their older songs, but damn do I love it.
I suggest HANABIE "Be the Gal" and "Tousou". They are heavy and fun! Don't forget BABYMETAL "Headbanger 1997 Apocalypse", Megitsune, Catch If You Can, Karate. The girls trio were still children (except Pa Pa Ya). NINGEN ISU - Heartless Scat. GALNERYUS - Angel of Salvation. All these songs are unforgettable. 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Great to see, that you got addicted to Hanabie, too. 😁 "We love sweets", "Otaku Lovely Densetsu", "Dating App generation": I *LOVE* the way they ironically address issues of current Japanese society, with Metal excellence. They produce earworm after earworm. "We love sweets" is a song on sugar addiction (who would have thought that?) and on the daily sugar-coated Japanese society also addicted to "kawaii" (= cute) situations and looks. Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie: Japanese all-female Metal bands *go hard* . They just know how to do it. The sun is rising in the east. 😃 🤘 GER
@@TJandTheGringa "Otaku Lovely Densetsu" is a song on digital media addiction. Otaku is the name of a highly popular video game in Japan, and "densetsu" means something like "legends" in Japanese. "Reiwa Dating App generation" is (believe it or not) on dating apps. 😁 The song writer said, that she was mind-blown and shocked on how many of her female school mates use dating apps, in _hope_ for a spouse for lifetime.
As an oldschool Gen X metal head I truly believe that Japan is the future of Rock and Heavy Metal music Band Maid, LOVEBITES, NEMOPHILA, HANABIE, ALDIOUS, Marys Blood, Fate Gear, Trident, Scandal, D-Drive, Lonesome Blue, East of Eden so many bands so much great music I’ll even throw in a K-pop/rock band Dreamcatcher mainly because they incorporate rock music into their songs but great nonetheless
@@not-so-great-oldone9780 I didn’t forget lol it’s just that the list would be a mile long naming every single band that I know of from Japan so I just opted for a short list I’m sure you can understand.
Another amazing reasonably new Japanese band to listen to Is BANSHIMOKU. They are every bit as unique as Hanabie , and have such amazing varied songwriting
Hanabie (pronounced HAHN-a-bi-ǝ) This is what you get when Babymetal and Maximum the Hormone have a love child. They actually started in high school, playing MTH covers. In their short existence, they have already published three album and toured Europe and North America. Clearly one of THE new metal bands to watch. Most of their songs are quite pointed, concerning social issues like dating app abuse, sexual harassment, drugs, human trafficking, cheating etc. “We Love Sweets” is about having an unhealthy relationship to sugar. Members: Vocalist (Harsh, rap)- Yukina Guitarist and Clean vocals - Matsuri Bassist and backing vocals - Hettsu Drums - Chika (replaced Sae in 2023) (Their producer, Gaku Taura, is also the drummer for Crystal Lake. He sat in on drums for Hanabie when they were between full-time drummers.)

YUP!!!! So there are lots of Hanabie (Ha Na B Ay) songs you could do. but they don't really have many lives with good audio out, mostly fan cams. Plus there MVs are hilarious. So MVs for now are possibly the way to go with Hanabie. Tousou Be The Gal Pardon Me I Have To Go Now LCG Neet Game Otaku Lovely Legend Girls Talk Believer (cover, no mv but great) If you like this kind of vocal energy from Japanese women, ABSOLUTLY GOT to do Broken By The Scream and Passcode! Broken By The Scream - Koi ha otome no nakidokoro MV Passcode - Taking you out (Taking you out TONIGHT! Tour 2018 Final at Zepp Divercity Tokyo)
Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 To experience them live, you really have to go and see them. The videos just don’t capture the raw energy and atmosphere Hanabie bring to the stage.
😁😁😁😁😁😁 Below are some of my favorite HANABIE songs.

Yes. True. The Brits and Americans had their time. Now the pendulum of band relevance has moved to Japan. For sure. And these all-female bands like Lovebites, Nemophila and Hanabie are just the _tip_ of the iceberg. We all just _scratch the surface_ . Umpteen other ambitious bands move to the top. _Insane_ . Holy moly.
You gotta love a band where the 4'10" lead singer likes to crowd surf. Hanabie started out covering this bands songs: Maximum the Hormone "Hungry Pride" Music Video at: ua-cam.com/video/tKZbHjy9GWM/v-deo.html
I guessed it would be Hanabie. Or Asterism (CHURCH live in studio session, please). Or maybe Otoboke Beaver who are PunkAF (like the 1976-79 Punk I pogoed to in my teens- fast, hard and non-stop). Or the choreography and rap of Atarashii Gakko. Or Babymetal live. Or Ningen Isu's solid Metal. Or....well, anyway, Hanabie was definitely on my list. Hopefully all the others from Japan will be on yours as I'm loving your reactions to the best music scene on the planet.
@@bandmaidfanATL Asterism's instrumental stuff is exceptionally good, especially the live in studio sessions. They added vocals a couple of years ago and that works well too! OB are touring the UK at the moment and will be appearing at Glastonbuy Festival...which one ay I'd like to see Band-Maid and Lovebites headlining!
I saw Hanabie live in their 1st US tour last year, they crushed live, so much fun. Unfortunately they do not have much in proshot live. Here is a pro shot live: Pardon Me I Have To Go Now-ua-cam.com/video/vEzXfJ1-oGk/v-deo.htmlsi=L6CUtP7ilX_AmIAT
You want more? Here is a list of my favorites. NOTE - its all music videos. They are the best because they are so fun and has superior sound. You can, of course, look at live videos, but they generally are not so good. Some are fun though. You have to understand that Hanabie is a new band. BTW - those that have been to Hanabie concerts love it, so we are probably in for a treat when the good live ones arrive. * Ado * Be that gal, early summer version * NEET game * OTAKU Lovely Densetsu * Pardon me, I have to go now * Reiwa dating app * We love sweets
NOTE - in two of those videos the growling singer Yukina kills a guy. BTW - Yukina and Matsuri has made some short and lovely duets. * アニマル/ DECO*27 Coverd by Vo. ユキナ& Gt./ Vo. マツリ * キメラ/ DECO*27 * Bubble feat.Uta / Eve covered by Vo.ユキナ&Gt./Vo.マツリ
It's like your kindergartner went to school and got processed by a demon 😂. Next band Galneryus - Angel of Salvation - Live Shibuya Kokaido Tokyo 2014. You get to experience the Yngwie Malmsteen of Japan
Ha-nah-bee-eh! Add the "eh" at the end, like you're Canadian!😂 "Pardon Me, I Have to Go Now" next, please!🙏 That's 3 off of my essential J-rock list! Let's go for 4 for 4. Nemophila "Revive", at your leisure! 👍🤘✌️👊😎
I would like you to listen to the songs of these Japanese bands as well. SOKONINARU "TENOHIRA DE ODORU" → ua-cam.com/video/n7MyoBki9wk/v-deo.html ASTERISM "Church (Live in Studio)". → ua-cam.com/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/v-deo.html PASSCODE "FLAVOR OF BLUE" → ua-cam.com/video/vuTaH8D5RzU/v-deo.html
Too bad y'all just missed the first leg of their U.S.-Canada tour that ended 2 weeks ago and are now touring in Europe. They will be back continuing their second leg in the U.S & Canada this coming August into October.
Hanabie 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘.. my first favorite bands from Japan, welcome to Harajuku core... I suggest to reaction Envy,Pardon Me I Have To Go Now,Neet Game,Otaku Love Densetsu,L.C.G
Loved your reaction! you guys made me smile big time. If you would like to see an interview that I did with them a few weeks ago please check it out or possibly react to it, I would love to know what you thought of my work. My name is Joe from Fox5NY and I can not leave a link but if you search this it will come right up. Thank you in advance Joe fox5ny hanabie interview
Please, if you like girls growling, try band "Broken by the Scream". Also, Japanese band with awesome man's trio (drums, Guitar and bass), but also with 4 girls vocalist. Catch is that 2 of them are "normal" vocalist and 2 of them are "death core section", one with high-pitch screams and other one with low (and I think that), low growls. Sounds completely crazy, but it's interesting like hell! For start, I recommend one older song "Sayonara Birthday", but really you already knows that all Japanese musicians doing only good songs! Try them!
Harajukucore 🙌. Hanabie (4 syllables, Ha-na-be-eh) are 🔥🔥🔥. Yukina is a fireball with incredible harsh vocals. Matsuri writes phenomenal songs and killer guitar riffs. All their songs are great. Maybe try Pardon Me I Have to go Now or OTAKU Lovely Densetsu next.
Yeah, that one is pretty damn cool. The problem Jiluka seems to have with their recent material however is that all songs utilize the exact same elements, just shuffled around, with Venom being the best arrangement out of the bunch. Sena needs to push a reset button or two soon otherwise this approach is inevitably going to backfire...
one more in your journey to the most talented Japanese groups, all you have to do is try ASTERISM ("Rising Moon" or "dawn" to start) and you will have completed the experience.
Hanabie (pronounced ha-nah- bee-EH) formed as a high school extracurricular music club that played covers of their favorite band called Maximum The Hormone. Here's my favorite Maximum The Hormone song, Yoshu Fukushu. It's about the singer being bullied in school when he was a kid. ua-cam.com/video/beN5ep5MrdY/v-deo.htmlsi=0pHNwxqj9bkarjkb Here's a short from Hanabie's UA-cam channel showing the crowd at the Sacramento show where I saw them. Multiple Walls of Death, crowd surfing, and mosh pits. ua-cam.com/users/shortsOmGNtus15vw?si=bdPNlnNC5dwYdjMY
Here is probably one of the best metal bands from Japan. -- Unlucky Morpheus --- "Black Pentagram" Official LIVE >>>> ua-cam.com/video/RUiRlUGMTwY/v-deo.html
I know a few guys that have been to their shows and loved it . Another band you will definitely like is Unlucky Morpheus. Try their video Cadaver/Revadac , get the version that has the sheet music scrolling at the bottom. Being a musician you will definitely appreciate the skill it took to write it.
I actually introduce her as la gringa most of the time the reason it's not la gringa is because the @name wouldn't work when we created the channel for some reason .. I introduce her both ways for that reason but originally it was always la gringa and that's the way I address her most of the time 😋.. also she always believed the name sounded better that way.
With Hanabie you have now met (one of) the best Japanese female metal bands. Apart from Maximum The Hormone, no one comes close to the creativity of Hanabie, with the many changes in speed and style and mixing of genres. You should definitely check out the slightly older L.C.G before you get to the new songs like Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now or Otaku Lovely Densetsu.
Hey guys....love the channel !!!!! Im a huge Band maid fan....so this isn't really my cup of tea...but they do jam !!!! There is a band that got me into metal and its NEMOPHILA. A all female metal band made up with an Allstar cast of the top metal musicians from Japan. Check out Revive MV....will blow your mind. Singer is awesome , guitar work off the charts and the drummer is one of the top female drummers in the world.

Most of their songs are quite pointed, concerning social issues like dating app abuse, sexual harassment, drugs, human trafficking, cheating etc. “We Love Sweets” is about having an unhealthy relationship to sugar. Members:
Vocalist (Harsh, rap)- Yukina
Guitarist and Clean vocals - Matsuri
Bassist and backing vocals - Hettsu
Drums - Chika (replaced Sae in 2023)
(Their producer, Gaku Taura, is also the drummer for Crystal Lake. He sat in on drums for Hanabie when they were between full-time drummers.)

LCG
Neet Game
Otaku Lovely Legend

Believer (cover, no mv but great)
If you like this kind of vocal energy from Japanese women, ABSOLUTLY GOT to do Broken By The Scream and Passcode!
Broken By The Scream - Koi ha otome no nakidokoro MV
Passcode - Taking you out (Taking you out TONIGHT! Tour 2018 Final at Zepp Divercity Tokyo)
Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 To experience them live, you really have to go and see them. The videos just don’t capture the raw energy and atmosphere Hanabie bring to the stage.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Below are some of my favorite HANABIE songs.

I saw them live a couple of days ago in Italy… My dream is a collaboration or a concert with BAND-MAID!
I was at that concert too! So good!
Japanese metal is taking over the genre!
Yes. True. The Brits and Americans had their time. Now the pendulum of band relevance has moved to Japan. For sure. And these all-female bands like Lovebites, Nemophila and Hanabie are just the _tip_ of the iceberg. We all just _scratch the surface_ . Umpteen other ambitious bands move to the top. _Insane_ . Holy moly.
You gotta love a band where the 4'10" lead singer likes to crowd surf. Hanabie started out covering this bands songs: Maximum the Hormone "Hungry Pride" Music Video at: ua-cam.com/video/tKZbHjy9GWM/v-deo.html
Finally had time to watch it. I am proud that 1 of my 3 guesses was right lol
👏👏🍻
Japanese female metal awesome！
Late to the party. Saw them live at the Nova Rock festival, 3 weeks ago. They where a great surprise throughout their show. Thanks
I guessed it would be Hanabie. Or Asterism (CHURCH live in studio session, please). Or maybe Otoboke Beaver who are PunkAF (like the 1976-79 Punk I pogoed to in my teens- fast, hard and non-stop). Or the choreography and rap of Atarashii Gakko. Or Babymetal live. Or Ningen Isu's solid Metal. Or....well, anyway, Hanabie was definitely on my list. Hopefully all the others from Japan will be on yours as I'm loving your reactions to the best music scene on the planet.
Yeah, Asterism and Otoboke Beaver are a must at this point.
@@bandmaidfanATL Asterism's instrumental stuff is exceptionally good, especially the live in studio sessions. They added vocals a couple of years ago and that works well too! OB are touring the UK at the moment and will be appearing at Glastonbuy Festival...which one ay I'd like to see Band-Maid and Lovebites headlining!
I saw Hanabie live in their 1st US tour last year, they crushed live, so much fun. Unfortunately they do not have much in proshot live. Here is a pro shot live: Pardon Me I Have To Go Now-ua-cam.com/video/vEzXfJ1-oGk/v-deo.htmlsi=L6CUtP7ilX_AmIAT
1:02 There it is, I always come to these videos for the moment Yukina lets out that scream and the reactors eyes get wide
You want more? Here is a list of my favorites.
NOTE - its all music videos. They are the best because they are so fun and has superior sound.
You can, of course, look at live videos, but they generally are not so good. Some are fun though.
You have to understand that Hanabie is a new band.
BTW - those that have been to Hanabie concerts love it, so we are probably in for a treat when the good live ones arrive.
* Ado
* Be that gal, early summer version
* NEET game
* OTAKU Lovely Densetsu
* Pardon me, I have to go now
* Reiwa dating app
* We love sweets
NOTE - in two of those videos the growling singer Yukina kills a guy.
BTW - Yukina and Matsuri has made some short and lovely duets.
* アニマル/ DECO*27 Coverd by Vo. ユキナ& Gt./ Vo. マツリ
* キメラ/ DECO*27
* Bubble feat.Uta / Eve covered by Vo.ユキナ&Gt./Vo.マツリ
They just wrapped up a US tour, saw them live two weeks ago! Great show, just a continuous mosh pit \m/
It's like your kindergartner went to school and got processed by a demon 😂. Next band Galneryus - Angel of Salvation - Live Shibuya Kokaido Tokyo 2014. You get to experience the Yngwie Malmsteen of Japan
Well they ate about to tour the US again very soon!
Hettsu Hettsu Hettsu!
Ha-nah-bee-eh! Add the "eh" at the end, like you're Canadian!😂
"Pardon Me, I Have to Go Now" next, please!🙏
That's 3 off of my essential J-rock list!
Let's go for 4 for 4.
Nemophila "Revive", at your leisure! 👍🤘✌️👊😎
All of those are going on the list!
Re. composition: Most rock songs go something like ABABCAB; this goes ABCDEF and never repeats itself.
Isn’t falling into the Japanese scene the best thing ever? 😊
Watch their live in USA tour, Canada tour, video upload by fans....
Dang. I guessed wrong from last video. >_< Oh well. Still fun.
First comment 🔥 regard from Bali, Indonesia

二番目のコメント😊japan、京都より。ドラえもんさんのリアクションは楽しいです。
ご視聴ありがとうございました！ 😀
@@TJandTheGringa 日本語が完璧ですね😀
The lead singer Yukina will crowd surf at some shows like this 3x camera angle video compilation on a USA tour.
MSDCF0416 - HANABIE. ～Crowd Surf～
She's a fireball! .. Love her!
Def checkout their song Be the Gal (early summer ver) perfect summer jam!
Too bad y'all just missed the first leg of their U.S.-Canada tour that ended 2 weeks ago and are now touring in Europe. They will be back continuing their second leg in the U.S & Canada this coming August into October.
Hanabie 🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘.. my first favorite bands from Japan, welcome to Harajuku core...
I suggest to reaction Envy,Pardon Me I Have To Go Now,Neet Game,Otaku Love Densetsu,L.C.G
you must check another song from Hanabie!! that's so bangerrr! btw love the react❤
Loved your reaction! you guys made me smile big time. If you would like to see an interview that I did with them a few weeks ago please check it out or possibly react to it, I would love to know what you thought of my work. My name is Joe from Fox5NY and I can not leave a link but if you search this it will come right up. Thank you in advance Joe

you need to see more and
👍
Broken by the screamもクレイジーですよ😆
Not to take anything away from this awesome band but you might like JINGER: Pieces
Thank You !! Stay Tuned !! 🍻
@@TJandTheGringaHanabie will be opening for Jinjer this fall in the US, dream lineup.
Now I am antsy and excited as hell to listen to Jinger
Please, if you like girls growling, try band "Broken by the Scream". Also, Japanese band with awesome man's trio (drums, Guitar and bass), but also with 4 girls vocalist. Catch is that 2 of them are "normal" vocalist and 2 of them are "death core section", one with high-pitch screams and other one with low (and I think that), low growls. Sounds completely crazy, but it's interesting like hell! For start, I recommend one older song "Sayonara Birthday", but really you already knows that all Japanese musicians doing only good songs! Try them!
🥰🤘🤗
Maximum The Hormone next!
Harajukucore 🙌. Hanabie (4 syllables, Ha-na-be-eh) are 🔥🔥🔥. Yukina is a fireball with incredible harsh vocals. Matsuri writes phenomenal songs and killer guitar riffs. All their songs are great. Maybe try Pardon Me I Have to go Now or OTAKU Lovely Densetsu next.
Thanks for the pronunciation of the name !
If You want some really heavy complicated stuff from Japan. JILUKA / VENOM is the path to go...
Yeah, that one is pretty damn cool. The problem Jiluka seems to have with their recent material however is that all songs utilize the exact same elements, just shuffled around, with Venom being the best arrangement out of the bunch. Sena needs to push a reset button or two soon otherwise this approach is inevitably going to backfire...
one more in your journey to the most talented Japanese groups, all you have to do is try ASTERISM ("Rising Moon" or "dawn" to start) and you will have completed the experience.
Ha-na-bi-eh
In a similar vein yall also need to check out SAISEIGA -- Jumble
Noted!! 📝
If you like tempo changes, check out Maximum The Hormone
We actually have a few reactions to them on this channel check them out!!
Saw Hanabie. open for Jinjer Thursday night. They decimated the place!
😆🤟
Hanabie (pronounced ha-nah- bee-EH) formed as a high school extracurricular music club that played covers of their favorite band called Maximum The Hormone. Here's my favorite Maximum The Hormone song, Yoshu Fukushu. It's about the singer being bullied in school when he was a kid. ua-cam.com/video/beN5ep5MrdY/v-deo.htmlsi=0pHNwxqj9bkarjkb
Here's a short from Hanabie's UA-cam channel showing the crowd at the Sacramento show where I saw them. Multiple Walls of Death, crowd surfing, and mosh pits. ua-cam.com/users/shortsOmGNtus15vw?si=bdPNlnNC5dwYdjMY
Here is probably one of the best metal bands from Japan. -- Unlucky Morpheus ---
"Black Pentagram" Official LIVE >>>> ua-cam.com/video/RUiRlUGMTwY/v-deo.html
I know a few guys that have been to their shows and loved it . Another band you will definitely like is Unlucky Morpheus. Try their video Cadaver/Revadac , get the version that has the sheet music scrolling at the bottom. Being a musician you will definitely appreciate the skill it took to write it.
We're beyond excited to hear this!!..Stay Tuned 🍻
*Gacharic Spin｢MindSet｣* please 🤗
We are on it ! Stay Tuned
DORAEMON !
Nice T-shirt !
🤘🤘🍺
I'm so curious! Why not "La Gringa"? Is that right? My Spanish totally sucks! But "The Gringa" is throwing me off. lol
I actually introduce her as la gringa most of the time the reason it's not la gringa is because the @name wouldn't work when we created the channel for some reason .. I introduce her both ways for that reason but originally it was always la gringa and that's the way I address her most of the time 😋.. also she always believed the name sounded better that way.
@@TJandTheGringa thanks! Yup, I’ve heard you introduce her in both ways. Now, I know that somehow it didn’t work as a Channel name.
🍻
こんにちは、ドラえもん！
Hanabie makes Slayer sound like Taylor Swift.
😂😂😂 💯💯💯💯🎯
With Hanabie you have now met (one of) the best Japanese female metal bands. Apart from Maximum The Hormone, no one comes close to the creativity of Hanabie, with the many changes in speed and style and mixing of genres. You should definitely check out the slightly older L.C.G before you get to the new songs like Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now or Otaku Lovely Densetsu.
Hey guys....love the channel !!!!! Im a huge Band maid fan....so this isn't really my cup of tea...but they do jam !!!! There is a band that got
me into metal and its NEMOPHILA. A all female metal band made up with an Allstar cast of the top metal musicians from Japan. Check
out Revive MV....will blow your mind. Singer is awesome , guitar work off the charts and the drummer is one of the top female drummers in the world.
