AbiGirl's 1st time listen & reaction to "We love sweets" by Hanabie!

[@Maidiac88]

I wasn't sure about this band at first but the more I've listened and seen the more I love them! I recommend their newest song, My Type, next.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Oh did that one come out recently?

[@cybercide283]

@@Abigirl_Reacts They released a new EP like a week ago. 2 songs that they released were put on this. 6 songs total. Ito Okashi MyType was released with a MV for the release of the EP. The song itself is cleverly written about the Briggs-Meyers 16 personality types that Japanese people tend to be... obsessed? with dating and otaku/neet culture.

[@garykeeling2275]

Typically, vocal duties are shared by Yukina (growls, anime-like kawaii vocals, rapping) and Matsuri (guitarist, clean vocals). In this one, bassist Hettsu, who also does kawaii vocals, has a rap part on the second verse, though she is usualjy just a backup vocalist. Hattsu also has an absolutely adorable spoken-word part in their brand new single "My Type," which just came out a few days ago. By the way, English lyrics were added in the comments on the original video page, but were not embedded in the video or CC.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Does kawaii vocals mean that really high pitched vocals I mentioned in the video?

[@bandmaidfanATL]

@@Abigirl_Reacts Kawaii literally means "cute."

@@Abigirl_Reacts Yep, it means "cute" and is often used to refer to elements of music or presentation that evoke an anime-like feel or a child-like feel, including those high-pitched vocals.

​@rolandkarlsson7072 Well, they didn't even start trying to really learn English until this song took off in the west. You can see a dynamic shift from this video and everything that follows, because they suddenly became marketable.

When played live the echo used at the moment of her clearing her throat is used to mask/mark the transition between the backtrack and her actual vocals. You'll notice Yukina's scream from the breakdown continues over her own voice beginning to list all those sweets and whatever. When performing live she does the scream, while the "listing voice" is played of the backtrack. When the recording reaches the throat clearing moment she picks up the list and then the rap live.

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Oh how interesting! ^_^

[@dand-uk6ez]

That is an honest reaction video. I absolutely love this band, but I completely understand what you are saying. I’m not a big fan of the high-pitched “little girl voice“ singing. But this song and everything they do has grown on me and they kick ass.

#Abil The vocalist who pass from cute voice and the growling name YUKINA nickname from the fan is CHAOS GOLBIN. The other vocalist & guitarist MATSURI nickname by the fan is PRINCESS OF RIFFS. All outfits of the members during MVS or LIVEs are made by the fashionista of the band HETTSU also bassist. On this MV you see the 3rd drummer SAE ( she left the band, she's in CODE OF ZERO) Now they've found their 4th drummer, the very talented lady named CHIKA. YUKINA, HETTSU & MATSURI formed HANABIE in 2015 in high school . It was a cover band from MAXIMUM THE HORMONE.

I suggest their OMV for "Don't light My Fire." It is (relatively) their most tame offering. Some of their other titles are "I am not Maternal," and "Dirty Old Fart is Waiting for my Reaction."

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

Would you say this is a silly song or a serious song?

[@fishrobber99]

@@Abigirl_Reacts A little of both? It's light hearted and the video is fun and silly, but they also deal with the real problems of sugar addiction. Notice how everyone is enjoying sweets except for Yukina (lead vocalist) who never touches them in the video, but she's tormented by wanting them, even though she knows it's bad for her. Edit: I should add that most of their songs deal with social issues. Their newest video "Ito Okashi My Type" is about the myers briggs personality types test and how in Japan many people take it (way too) seriously. Also, for future referance, their English lyrics are also (at least usually) in the video descriptions, but you need to scroll down below the Japanese. (though a lot of them have English subs too). This one seems like a request to "add English lyrics" but nobody ever did lol. Edit 2: If you like her screams, check out Tousou or NEET game.

These girls dub their musical style as "Harujuku Core". The fashion influence is definitely Harujuku. I think it might be easier to break it down into Kawaii Metal-core with rap, punk, and edm influences. Most of their songs are serious, but they try to do it in a fun way. I actually don't think Gimme Sweets is one of their better offerings, mainly for the reasons you listed. It really throws people off on how it's arranged. I really like the song, but I feel like it's something you should listen to after you've heard a bit more of their stuff. LCG Remix 2019, or Reiwa Dating Apps Generation would have been better suited, if you're going to choose something from that album, Patrons. It took a minute for Hanabie to grow on me, but I now generally find it difficult to skip a song of theirs when it comes up on my spotify (which is often). I will always recommend Hyper Dimension Galaxy, and Tales of Villain as good songs to listen to. There's no MV, so if you want to understand the songs, lyrics are readily available.

[@RahimRahmat]

That very high pitch voice represents the small little high-pitched voice that was amplified by their addiction to sugar. Needless to say, the powerful growl is the angry voice, angry over the sugar addiction (and apparently addiction to men too??). The higher pitch was meant to be disturbing (think of how a child acts when not getting what they want, or worse, getting what they want!!). You really do need the lyrics to catch all these. Anyway, I am sure everyone (plus their grandfather) will be telling you about the lyrics being in the description of that MV. No matter. What I did not understand is why you did not want to Google the lyrics up (and yes, Google Translate the whole thing!). True, the lyrics may not be 100% accurate, but it gives you a good indication of what is happening in the song (assuming you can understand the poetry behind the lyrics, which admittedly I sometimes struggle with). So, uhmmm, why not google it on your phone while doing this reaction?? I promise you it's free 😛

[@Abigirl_Reacts]

It doesn't matter honestly. People complain if I look at the lyrics too much and miss the video or the other way around, if I watch the video and miss the lyrics.
