I second this, a lot of the questions I asked came from the community, I want everyone to feel like they can talk to their favorite bands. Thank you to Alan for always being there to help me and to HANABIE. For treating us like old friends.
Just saw them in Orlando supporting Jinjer. I feel like half the crowd had no idea who they were or what to expect, myself included. Needless to say, they brought the house down and had that whole venue moving. This band is going to be huge. Like, REALLY big. I hope they’re ready for it.
When I interview these amazing ladies for this the show afterwards was amazing and the place went wild. There future is so bright especially now touring with Jinjer. I just interviewed Tatiana from Jinjer and she thought they were amazing . And the crowd at the Metal Injection fest who were there for Jinjer went nuts for Hanabie.
Japan's rock and metal music scene is on fire right now. The ladies of Hanabie blew my socks off in Sacramento. If they are anywhere near you, get tickets! They put on a great show. 👍 ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. My name is Joe and I conducted the interview and produced this piece. I really enjoy the metal coming out of Japan and I want to introduce the Fox audience to music they never knew existed. My first piece was with BabyMetal and now HANABIE., I am planning several other bands like Band Maid, Lovebites and many more. So stay tuned.
@@Denden-mx9gl thank you for remembering that. I was there in 2014 when no one knew who they were, and even showed the girls my interview from then and they were blown away and laughed so much. I hope in 9 years I’ll interview HANABIE., and I’ll show them this one. Thanks again my friend
Wow dude, me and my girlfriend are HUGE Hanabie fans and we were both kinda viewing this cautiously to see if they would do our girls justice and God damn, this interview was insanely good. We were both impressed at the professionalism, research, and presentation on display. Thank you so much for giving one of my favorite bands a spotlight. 🤘💓✨
Thank you so much for your kind words. My name is Joe and I was the interviewer. I am so excited to be able to shine a light on such an awesome band, and help promote them to an Audience that did not even know they existed. Please share this the band is watching.
I look at Hanabie, Band-Maid, Bridear, FateGear and Mary’s Blood as iconic all female Japanese metal bands. Each has their own unique sounds, riffs and scream moments. Hanabie brings a new level of fun
Japanese music has been on fire lately. You have OTOBOKE BEAVER, ATARASHII GAKKO! And HANABIE they're all so different but deliver so much energy and passion.
Great interview. I seem to be falling in love with Hanabie more and more with each song they release. Can't wait to see them in concert. I was supposed to see them at Aftershock last year, but things happened and I had to miss the whole festival. There are so many great bands in this world and I find myself gravitating to Hanabie because of their fresh approach on their style of music. I'm wishing them happiness and success.
Thank you so much for your comment, I was the interviewer for this and I can tell you they are so sweet and genuine they deserve to be blowing up. Also they are so fun Live. Thanks for watching Joe Fox5 NY
So as a service to anyone here who has just found out about Hanabie and doesn't know the Japanese women rock / metal / punk scene, firstly of course check out more Hanabie. But also take a dive into the scene on youtube and find some of the other awesome Japanese women / women fronted rock / metal / punk bands such as; Each below has a starter suggestion. - Hanabie (you found them already! Just look up all their songs! We Love Sweets, Tousou, OTAKU Lovely Densetsu, NEET Game, Pardon Me I Have To Go Now, Be The Gal, Girl's Talk, LCG, Envy, Believe (cover) etc ) - Lovebites - Hammer Of Wrath live - Nemophila - Revive live - Fate Gear - Batttle Against Justice MV - Aldious - We Are MV - Gacharic Spin - Mindset - Broken By The Scream - Sayonara Birthday MV - Passcode - Taking You Out MV - Bridear - Still Burning MV - Mardelas - Patriot Anthem MV - Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire MV There are plenty more, but the list is a good starting place.
Great interview and I'll be remembering that show for a long time. Amazing crowd, and of course Hanabie! Thank you to everyone involved in the interview and at the show! Can't wait for Injection in Sept!
Great Interview! For as popular as they are becoming there's only a handful of good interviews out there. I'm always happy to learn more about one of my favorite bands, especially when it's directly from the band themselves. I'll be posting links to this interview under reactions to Hanabie videos if that's ok. More people should see this interview. 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Please share this with anyone and anywhere you want. The world needs to know how awesome this amazing band is. Doing this interview was amazing and I cant wait to see them again and make a part 2 to this. Best always Joe Fox 5 NY
@@joeseconi250 Part 2 would be great. Can you ask them if they would cover a Babymetal song - just interested what their songs would sound like with Yukina adding to the song (I think Matsuri would be similar to Su-Metal).
@@joeseconi250 Cool. A collaboration might be a bit too much to ask but LOL (I would love to see that). Pretty sure in one of their older videos Yukina is singing a bit of a Babymetal song.
@@r1learner178 I actually did ask them who they would like to collaborate with and there management requested I take that one out. I kind of get it but I did ask. I personally think a collaboration with Electric Callboy is right up there alley
Hanabie's awesome! So is Nemophila, and of course my favorite Band-Maid! Hanabie's had a lot of fans already but it seems they're now rising up to become just as well known as Band-Maid!
I have to agree in such a short time Hanabie., has grown in popularity to the point where they are rivaling Band Maid in terms of becoming a favorite among Japanese rock and metal fans. That is why decided to interview them and the response has been amazing. Hopefully my next interview will be cleared and I can introduce the Fox audience to Band Maid.
A huge thank you to everyone involved with this interview. Please continue doing interviews like this. I will be seeing HANABIE for the 3rd time when they come back to the US in Oct. HANABIE🤘👏
Been listening to them for years. Saw them in Dallas last year, which was awesome. Glad to see that their star continues to rise worldwide. If you get the chance to see them, do not pass up that opportunity.
Fantastic interview guys! I hope you'll be able to do more of these. For people who may not know Hanabie, you guys did a great job with introducing them. Thank you. I can't wait to see Hanabie again in concert. They were fabulous in Toronto. I look forward to more of their music and the journey they will take us on. 🤘😃
Hallo Hanabie. Ich habe euch zufällig auf dem Rock am Ring gesehen und ihr wart einfach nur unglaublich. Ich liebe eure Musik. SIe läuft bei mir zu Hause rauf und runter. Ich hoffe, dass ich euch demnächst nochmal in Deutschland live sehen kann. Macht weiter!
Good stuff. TBH, I didn't realize Chika only joined the band in 2023, but there is no hint of shyness or nervousness when she gets behind that drum kit. The other three are born entertainers and I'm sure that has been honed over their 9 years together. I hope they gain the success they deserve, even if 'core isn't my favorite subgenre.
As for the rest, Matsuri, the guitarist, was born into a family of musicians, her father is a bassist in a rock band. And a metalhead. Yes, and they write all their own songs.
I’ve been in contact with the band and we are trying to iron out the details for a second interview at the metal injection show in Brooklyn on the 21st.
They're most similar to Maximum the Hormone, another Japanese metal/jpop crossover band that is often cited as a major influence for Hanabie's songwriting. Hanabie started out as an MTH cover/tribute band, in fact. I drove 9 hours to see MTH play their only east coast NA show in NY back in 2014 and was so happy to learn that these ladies were touring the entire US! I'd drive 9 hours to see them too, but thankfully I won't have to!
@@retroxify it would be a dream come true if I could interview MTH they are my favorite Japanese band. They need to come back to the states and if they do I will talk with them!
@@joeseconi250 great job! Unfortunately for me they aren't coming close enough to my area. I'm an hour north of Boston. I'd love to see them come to Boston someday.
@@nailingjellotoawall thank you my friend I really appreciate that. I’m sure they will hit Boston one day soon. I’m kinda lucky being in NYC most acts come through here. Please do me a favor and help me promote them by sharing this video. It’s a simple way to show the band you appreciate them.
Tomorrow is supposed to be their show in Lisbon (if Chika gets better in time) and i'm really excited because Portugal NEVER gets these awesome bands from japan. I got into Hanabie when they released the MV for L.C.G and youtube recommended it to me at the time.
It’s so cool interviewing the bands I enjoy so much. Hopefully the Band Maid interview will be approved and coming out next and l have a bunch more I think you’ll like.
Very humble and energetic ladies, I stumbled across one of their songs via typo, but now I listen to them everyday, if the music industry ever needed a change or pick me up thank God for these awesome hard working ladies ❤❤❤❤
Yes, we've heard of them ;) . If you were lucky or smart you saw them during the course of the last year as they've toured :) . I hope we all paid attention to the way Yukina pronounced the band name ;) .
That’s a great point, when I was interviewing them I found myself very conscious of the pronunciation. I can’t wait till they come back here in Sept. I hope to make a part 2 to this
Great interview and montage, well done Alan & Joe & crew. To second other comments--yes, Japan's rock scene is on another level now, and girls are leading the way. It's incredibly fun.
Thank you so much for the compliments and I agree 100% the Japanese rock scene is on another level that’s why I’m all in on introducing an audience to it that may not know it even exists. Please share this and let’s show the world what we already know. Japan Rocks!
I strongly advice to take a chance with meet and greet with those girls, they are just so warm people, they really pay attention to every single person 🫶🏻 But if you have some gift for them, speak with their management about it before check in.
I have to agree, I was the guy that interviewed them and the fact they allowed me into there tour bus to do this was awesome and they made me feel like we were old friends. Very very sweet ladies and they have awesome management as well. I cant wait till Sept to do another interview with them.
Amazing interview !! HANABIE. is the best band ive been lucky to experience live. They are so humble and hard working they deserve everything !!! Also the music is amazing. I hope more people get to learn about them and make their day a lil bit better.
Big thank you to Hanabie, wish you all the best and more! Thank you Joe and Alan for this great interview, and opportunity to spread more word, to bring more people to support this band.
Happy to know that japanese band is getting more recognition even tho I'm not a fan of HANABIE. Many other bands deserve more attention, for example Onmyou-za
Thank you so much for the comment. I was the interviewer for this and I really wanted to introduce this amazing band to an audience that would never had heard of them before. Much more like this coming soon
I saw and meet Hanabie at the Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 concert 🎶 they so sweet amazing ladies amazingly talented beautiful ladies they are my favorite band ever! Love them a lot I have a music video channel too I would love to interview Hanabie! Tell the whole world 🌎 about their incredible music 🎼 they are amazing live! I’m so happy I went to see them! Was amazing experience! 😊🤘🇯🇵
Please do me a favor if you would react or review this on your channel I would appreciate that so much. I am the interviewer and I want get these amazing ladies as much press as possible. Thank you in advance Joe Fox5 NY
I did a zoom interview with Alan from Dicodec. I think it’s still up on his channel. It’s kinda short because Mayu was very pregnant at the time, I am hoping when they return to do an in person interview
@@joeseconi250 wow that would be amazing. I love how much their new album has so many different sounds. From metal to a possible club anthem - it was sick. Hope to see them interviewed soon. Thank you for the info!
It is so nice to have metal coming back strong. Autotune crooners are played out. I particularly like Hannabe’s song and video about the frustrations of Japanese work culture, “Pardon me, I have to go now.”
@@Olkam-w5u this is really interesting. I was the interviewer in this piece and I will be doing a second interview in 2 weeks. As a fan do you have a question that I can present to the band? I can’t promise they’ll answer it but I’ll try. Thanks for the great comment.
When my BabyMetal interview did so much to help promote them to an audience they would probably never reach, I said HANABIE., is blowing up and I wanted give them a push also. Stay tuned a lot more like this coming
lol I actually practiced before doing this interview I didn’t want to be that guy that said it wrong. I think they were impressed I was saying it correct
This interview was a blast to do!! Thank you everyone for the tremendous amount of help from the community!
@dicodec Thank you and Joe S. for your hard work. Keep the momentum going!
I second this, a lot of the questions I asked came from the community, I want everyone to feel like they can talk to their favorite bands. Thank you to Alan for always being there to help me and to HANABIE. For treating us like old friends.
How is Chika's wrist doing? Was this interview done before her injury?
I was like ALAN!!!
@@garykeeling2275 Yes her injury happened after this interview
Just saw them in Orlando supporting Jinjer. I feel like half the crowd had no idea who they were or what to expect, myself included. Needless to say, they brought the house down and had that whole venue moving.

Truly incredible to see the rapid rise of this awesome band! They are going on tour this Sept/Oct in the US.
@@MetalNCarnet I’ll be there when they come to Brooklyn w/Jinjer hoping I can make a part 2 to this interview . I appreciate your comment
Amazing interview !! HANABIE. is the best band ive been lucky to experience live. They are so humble and hard working they deserve everything !!! Also the music is amazing. I hope more people get to learn about them and make their day a lil bit better.
Big thank you to Hanabie, wish you all the best and more!
Thank you Joe and Alan for this great interview, and opportunity to spread more word, to bring more people to support this band.
Happy to know that japanese band is getting more recognition even tho I'm not a fan of HANABIE. Many other bands deserve more attention, for example Onmyou-za
陰陽座はいいよ👍
Amazing interview. Really enjoyed watching it
Fox 5 New York thanks for this interview 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the comment. I was the interviewer for this and I really wanted to introduce this amazing band to an audience that would never had heard of them before. Much more like this coming soon
Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw and meet Hanabie at the Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 concert 🎶 they so sweet amazing ladies amazingly talented beautiful ladies they are my favorite band ever! Love them a lot I have a music video channel too I would love to interview Hanabie! Tell the whole world 🌎 about their incredible music 🎼 they are amazing live! I’m so happy I went to see them! Was amazing experience! 😊🤘🇯🇵
Please do me a favor if you would react or review this on your channel I would appreciate that so much. I am the interviewer and I want get these amazing ladies as much press as possible. Thank you in advance Joe Fox5 NY
Gonna be a cool opener for Jinger 🤘
I can't wait to see them together that show is gonna be awesome.
Hell yeah, Fox 5! News we can use!🤘
Stay tuned a lot more interviews like this coming.
Wow didnt expect to see this interview! Those girls are great - now you need to interview Nemophila another amazing girl group in the same genre.
I did a zoom interview with Alan from Dicodec. I think it’s still up on his channel. It’s kinda short because Mayu was very pregnant at the time, I am hoping when they return to do an in person interview
@@joeseconi250 wow that would be amazing. I love how much their new album has so many different sounds. From metal to a possible club anthem - it was sick. Hope to see them interviewed soon. Thank you for the info!
@@Erik-rd5dl now I have a question for you if you could ask the band one question what would it be?
@@joeseconi250 Thank you for the chance to pass a question to you. I am thinking about what to ask and will send it along.
Great interview! It was so cool to see and meet the members in sac last month. I hope they come back soon!
They were so sweet and fun to interview
nice interview
thank you. They were so wonderful to interview, they made me feel like we were old friends. I cant wait to interview them again in Sept.
great interview and video!
@@srslywtfcl4p404 thank you so much for the kind words I really loved doing this for such an awesome band.
That’s great they need more exposure hope deviloof gets some exposure
❤Hanabie !❤🤘Hanabie , Nemophila , Bridear are my top 3 faves from Japan ✌😊
Your top 3 have 2 of my favorites and my third would be LoveBites
Another awesome interview with an amazing band. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jaelin It wasn’t the same doing the translations without you 😁
Obsessed with Matsuri
She was so cool and confident. Also you could tell her and YUKINA were the leaders but mostly Matsuri
It is so nice to have metal coming back strong. Autotune crooners are played out. I particularly like Hannabe’s song and video about the frustrations of Japanese work culture, “Pardon me, I have to go now.”
I agree 100% it’s refreshing to see metal making a comeback and I also agree that Pardon me I have to go now is a banger.
And Hanabie are second generation metalheads. Father Matsuri (guitar, second vocals) is also a metal guitarist.
@@Olkam-w5u this is really interesting. I was the interviewer in this piece and I will be doing a second interview in 2 weeks. As a fan do you have a question that I can present to the band? I can’t promise they’ll answer it but I’ll try. Thanks for the great comment.
i been in them for awhile now
If you liked this I hope to interview them again in Sept when they tour with Jinjer
In them? Ayo 🤨🤔
Awesome!
I agree! Let’s share this 🤘
Oh god, I hate Fox so much but I love Hanabie… I’m in between a rock and a hard place here… edit: it was a great interview I must admit!
@@adamcogan211 now you see there are actually some cool people that work at Fox 😁 btw loved your comment
I’m kind of amazed y’all are interviewing these girls. That’s awesome.
When my BabyMetal interview did so much to help promote them to an audience they would probably never reach, I said HANABIE., is blowing up and I wanted give them a push also. Stay tuned a lot more like this coming
Awesome interview. Cant wait to see them in the fall
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
It is going to be epic.
dang Matsuri 😍
What the hell, they made the news? Awesome
Yes they did make the news and hopefully in Sept when they come back to NYC there will be a part 2 to this. Stay tuned
Best way I could ever find to describe Hanabie....
Pokemon Metal.
Lmao 😂 perfect!
❤️🔥🤘🤪🤘❤️🔥
The only thing missing was Chika's lesson on how to pronounce the band's name. 😆
lol I actually practiced before doing this interview I didn’t want to be that guy that said it wrong. I think they were impressed I was saying it correct
🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Chrissy you’re the best
This was a great interview.
Thank you. I was the interviewer and I have to say these ladies were so much fun to interview and there show was amazing.
Great interview! Can't wait to see them again in the fall with Jinjer and Born of Osiris!
I’ll be there and I’m trying to interview them and Jinjer
老若男女👍
🤟😝🤟
