![Fun Fun Fun :D [Gacharic Spin - ガンバンバダンサー (Ganbanba Dancer) studio+live] First time REACTION!](/img/n.gif)
Singing, dancing, and playing at the same time? It’s called showmanship.
The two dancers here are Mai (light blue costume) and Nenne (orange). And yes, Nenne was the one doing the dueling keyboard backpacks with Oreo on Hunting Summer.
I'm so glad Home Gnome requested this one, and I'm happy that you've been having fun getting to know all these different sides to Gacharic Spin!
And more to come!
Nenne has some very nifty jazzy moments on keyboards.
I think I'm impressed by these young ladies?
I'm not much on "pop" stuff, but the musicianship and entertainment factor won me over.
Thanks!
Keyboardist Nene Konishi has returned to music last year as a solo artist.
There are a few of her songs on UA-cam.
Oreo was specifically brought in as the vocal replacement to Armmy she just happened to be really really good at the keys as well.
If you want to see Gachapin in the states keep your eye on anime expos since they are the ones that will usually bring them to the states.
I'm not sure that's quite correct about Oreo, she had been a live support keyboardist for the band for a while when Armmmy was still in the group, there are photos and live clips out there of the band with Oreo on keys and Armmmy on vocals. That said I'm really not 100% sure, there's no doubt her singing abilities made her an attractive addition from the bands perspective.
@@nanakakitano9724 I didn't know Oreo was support before officially joining. I hadn't seen anything where she was with the group while Armmmy was still there.
@@ckiemnstr345 You can see her with the band including Armmy playing a brief snippet of Alive here: ua-cam.com/video/UHltB2Q_9-0/v-deo.html
In some of the photos in this tribute video to Armmy you can see Oreo with her: ua-cam.com/video/m5m1KXeNl9g/v-deo.html
@@ckiemnstr345 I've seen one picture of Oreo with the group while Armmy was there. I think I saw old fancam footage at some point too. Oreo played support keyboards for live shows from time to time, then joined them on their Gachapinch tour early in 2012. Oreo didn't officially join the band until after the tour was finished.
From some translated interviews, it seems like the band asked Oreo to join earlier on, but Oreo initially declined. After EU-PHORIA ended, Oreo said she wasn't sure if she'd want to be in a band anymore.
Ya, they are a must see for me as well! I love this band and this song. They really know how to put on a show.. Thank you for reacting to this video.
Playing instruments but also dancing its hard to do anyway, need extra stamina... especially the vocalist hhe... quite energic...
Btw when they are dancing & that stick light reminds me about AKB48 group girl band... hhe...
I think Gacha and AKB48 are friends. They had multiple collaborations in the past.
It's funny you mention AKB48. Back in 2012, Hana, Koga, and Tomo-zo were hired to help teach some of the girls how to play instruments for the single "Give Me Five". In 2020, GS played as the backing band when two of the members of AKB48 had a solo concert.
I think the band+dancers era of Gacharic Spin was definitely idol-inspired. Bright, colorful and fun!
Thanks Wave - can't help but smile whilst watching this one - as you say the whole band is so into it, but there's a load of technically cool stuff going on too.
That's a jam! Love your enthusiasm Wave!
Man I want to love this band so much. So talented, creative, fun, unpredictable, I should be all over this. But their songs just don't "grab" me, at all. Not trying to be negative, I know this is a "me" problem. I feel bad about it. I wish them lots of success and hope they keep gaining fans like you, Wave!
Tomo-zo's guitar tone and rhythm playing in this track is so awesome
GS is one of the most entertaining band when live
What an amazing choice by Home Gnome! I was so addicted to this video in 2016/2017 when I got it on the bonus DVD to KAKUHEN, so nice to see it getting some more of the appreciation it deserves! Truly one of the most versatile, original, and talented bands currently going.
It's something I've thought ever since I discovered them, but I just don't understand why they aren't world-wide superstars. I mean what more is required? It can't be more talent right? It can't be more effort or passion right? What's the missing ingredient? This question continues to challenge me.
I am not sure what's the "missing ingredient", but just like some others here are saying a lot of their music doesn't grab me personally. For example, this song ガンバンバダンサー is not really my thing. I did enjoy the video though.
MindSet did grab me last year and it's probably my favourite track I have heard last year and it made me preorder their newest album, buy their previous one and buy their lastest bluray. But all in all most of their music is not for me. That doesn't mean that it's bad, but in general it's a bit too poppy for my tastes. I do think they are fun to watch though as I love how much fun they seem to have even though I am not always down for their upbeat crazyness depending on the day. But I probably never would have given them a proper look if it wasn't for MindSet last year.
I will most likely continue to buy their stuff and keep ordering their livestreams on ZAIKO though even though it's not something I listen to a lot.
I do think they deserve to be more well known, but I think their extremely upbeat sillyness is probably not something that jives with a lot of Western audiences. I don't think a lot of people in the West look at talent or passion unfortunately. The costumes most Japanese bands wear are probably also a turnoff for a lot of Western audiences, at least they are not for me even though I don't mind them wearing them if they like the astethic.
Most people don't get exposed to Japanese music or don't try to listen to it even if they are with the exception of Intro/Outro Anime songs for the niche that watches Anime. At least not here in Europe, I assume it's the same in the US. Hell, I wasn't really aware of most J-Rock/J-Metal bands until a year ago when Band-Maid made me dive in. The only Japanese bands I was aware of and listened to were metal bands Sigh, Funeral Moth and Coffins. I also bought some Senri Kawaguchi albums a couple of years ago. I was aware of Maximum The Hormone and Babymetal, but never gave them a listen. I honestly think Babymetal and what we can see from J-Pop (and K-Pop) in general might be why people get misconceptions about what J-Rock and J-Metal bands can be. They might think all bands are like that and that's great if you love that type of music and spectacle, but might be a turnoff if you don't.
I don't know how well known they are in Japan, but being around for as long as they have, I assume they are at least doing ok.
As a last thing that I noticed.
Hana and Oreo (but especially Hana) are starting to sing out of tune on some of their newer stuff and I noticed it wasn't the case when I listen to older stuff. I am honestly worried Hana has screamed her voice to pieces as her screams don't sound that they are done in a good "healthy" way. It's fine when she sings in her lower range, but when she goes up it's sometimes very distracting for me. I don't hear it in their Doll$Boxx releases, so I think it's a recent thing. I even notice it on their album newest release, so it's not only live. I really hope she didn't kill her voice because in those older videos she sounds really good.
Thanks Nanaka - always good to see you here in the comments! I'm definitely addicted to this video at the moment...
@@MaartenT Thank you for your detailed thoughts, it's much appreciated!
I suspect that your thought that their "upbeat craziness" may be off-putting to some Western audiences, especially rock/metal fans who tend to prefer their music and artists dour/grim/serious, is probably true. Although that said they've toned that aspect down the last few years. They still have fun and they still dress somewhat brightly, but they don't have the totally insane costumes any more (whilst probably overall for the best, I do miss the burger suit!).
They are decently popular in Japan, not a stadium filler band but well known and highly respected, especially in musical circles.
Regarding Hana + Oreo's pitching, I'd have to disagree in general. Are they always perfect? Absolutely not, they are humans! Are they extremely good? Absolutely! I think what you might be picking up on with Hana is there are a few notes between about E5 and G5 that she sometimes goes for with a mix voice when perhaps sometimes, depending on the day, she could consider settling for a flip to head voice. It wouldn't sound as powerful, but it'd be so much easier to pull off, especially if you're already a bit tired. I'd also disagree regarding her screams sounding unhealthy, whilst I'm no screaming production technique expert they sound like low pressure, wide embrochure, false chord screams which, as far as my understanding goes, is how they should be done, I'm very open to being corrected on that though as not an area of particular expertise for myself! Finally I'd be very curious to know what on the new album you thought sounded out of tune? I'm very sensitive to pitching and as yet not noticed any pitchiness myself on that album, I could well have missed something though!
Thanks again for the great comment and discussion!
@@homegnome2429 We do run into each other a lot! Whilst it's nice to get to know other fans it sometimes feels like it's only me, you, and about a half dozen others out there consistently pushing for this band to get the attention it deserves, which plays into the discussion me and Maarten have been having. Oh well, we'll keep on pushing, once the magic of Gacha has been understood I don't see how there's any possible turning back from the path, even if it's a sparsely populated one it's still worth it.
@@nanakakitano9724 Yes, when I first started pushing requests with various reactors, I suppose I hoped that this would help to get them seen by a wider audience, but considering the general number of views for a vid compared to the number of subscibers it seems like by far the majority of people will only watch selective bands anyway, and so aren't really picking up new things to listen to.
Whereas, I pick a small number of reactors that I enjoy and respect and then watch pretty much everything they release and from time to time pick up something new I can get into.
For right now I'm happy enough to enjoy getting these reactions shared, even if it's within a fairly small group of die-hard fans, and if it has a marginal impact on attracting new fans then that's great too.
Wow! I must be so out of it. Where was I on Japanese girl bands. Thanks for the exposure. Oh no, more binging, just like on Yoyoka, Kanade and Senri. BTW, about the poster thing w/Y, she could go small with selling Japanese hand fan merch, with her picture on them or even annual calendars. Rock on.
If it's drums you particularly like, the drummer in this video is Hana Sano. Nowadays she is vocals and guitar in the band and they have a new drummer called Yuri (although Hana did record drums for their latest album, besides vocals and guitar, as Yuri was off on maternity leave). If you want to see something special check out the duel drum set-up they did for their song TAMASHII from their 2019 Blue Ray: ua-cam.com/video/Jt7-GGRa3nc/v-deo.html
If you would like to check out Tomo-zo doing lead vocals check out the video Gacharic spin Fantasy Medley it's 9 minutes of pure Tomo-zo Bliss they perform a medley of her songs that she sings lead vocals on
My favourite GS line-up, with Nenne. And this song is a banger.
Keyboard player here is Nene Konishi, she has doing her solo projects too.
Fun fact: watching the behind the scenes videos I saw the ladies refer to the band as GACHAPIN. (It is typical to use contractions of long names, e.g., SUTABA for Starbucks [su-ta-a-ba-k’ku-su].)
Gacharic Spin - Fantasy medley. Those when Tomo-zo took for lead singer
Oreo was hanging out because she and tomo played together in their previous band and Oreo got to play a few songs.
When armmy disappeared they were left hanging. Hana wrote all the songs and has a great voice so no problem on lead vocals but they needed someone to fill Hana’s backup position. Tomo could do the cute stuff wasn’t going to be harmonizing anytime soon and koga is tone deaf so no go there.
Now personally I’m not a big fan of Oreo’s voice but they were in a bind and Oreo does have a rather amazing ability to harmonize with Hana.
Plus we get keyboards…yeah..
I’m not sure hana would have thought that having to write every song with a keyboard part was a plus.
Btw I do think that this is one of the best examples of Oreo’s singing especially in the scating and shortly after the real rocker chick voice comes through. Unfortunately we find out the result of Oreo puting her voice out there, just for a few lines, her voice cracks as she attempts to say thank you.
The fact that she grabs her throat and gives that silly grin let’s us know they she also knows that this is not her new jam..
I don't know if they did it because they were the two members of the band who were interchangeable when it came to playing the keyboards, but you may have noticed that both Nenne and Oreo are wearing name badges. You can see them clearly at 6:27.
"Nenne" is written in Hiragana (ねんね), and "Oreo Reona" is written in Katakana (オレオレオナ) 🙂
Late as usual to the comments thread, but thank you Wave Potter for posting this. This is an amazing performance by a -- and I don't use his term lightly -- legendary band. They put on an epic show, no matter what their lineup is. And this clip is no exception. That unison with Nenne and Oreo is beyond words. It feels like an improvisation, but I can tell you musician to musician it likely took lots of practice. I say "legendary" because of their history of set back, regroup, and rebound for most of their existence. The current version with yuri and Angie is no less stellar, but it's perhaps all the more remarkable for having the longest period with the same band members going into just its fourth year.
Does Hana's snare rolls sound so tasty because they are not too hectic? She has the beat like.. flying
Speaking of choreography, there’s a wonderful video of OREOREONA demonstrating her moves when behind the keyboard when performing 赤裸ライアー (Red Sexy Liar). She is so funny and charming. Link: ua-cam.com/video/CeZc9lNG4GQ/v-deo.html
In the 2019 gig Tomo-Zo has her own "Fantasy Midley": ua-cam.com/video/HLoqx_6B3Tw/v-deo.html 😍
Does their bass player play slap bass exclusively? It sure seems like it.
Nope she sometimes uses a pick for their punk songs and finger picking for the pop rock songs and a mix of slap and pick/finger for their proggy heavy songs.
Koga plays with a pick to get that driving bass sounds and index and middle finger. I'v never seen her tap on the fretboard.
Watch HANABIE latest video Official Drum playing session, Bass playing session, Guitar playing session.... 🤘
oreo out front from behind the keyboard. G.S. with a bit of a disco sound - my 3rd favorite song from 'music battler' cd. tomo zo actually sings once in a while with one of the cuter high voices i've ever heard. another song from the battler cd is 'final na fantasy where tomo sings the whole song and there is an official video for it that you will want to see : ua-cam.com/video/bsmn-YUPRX8/v-deo.html
