HAGANE - 天下五剣 Tenka Goken | Frank Reacts |

[@FranksReactions]

First time listening to HAGANE and their amazing drummer Junna. I must say that the rest of the band also is incredibly solid and I'm looking forward to exploring more of this bands music. Where should I go next?

[@funnystuff2552]

There is a fold Releases on their KZbin channel, u can pick any song from the new album there. My favorite is Hero Time, but other songs r good as well

[@FranksReactions]

​@evilvolts No problem at ALL and thanks for pointing me in this direction! It was a delight listening to this song and watching the video. I need to get better at reactions, cause after watching the video several times now, there was so much more I should have said.

[@michaelhill4353]

​@OhhGeeGee . Start with Wintry Sky and Soul Beats from the previous incarnation of Hagane, featuring former vocalist Uyu, drummer Kanako, and guitarist Mayto.

[@FranksReactions]

@@michaelhill4353 Thanks for the tips. They are on my list.

[@ivanthenuke9995]

Great band. Found them several weeks ago and have listened to a lot of their stuff. Another fantastic Japanese band.

[@FranksReactions]

Yes, they seem very good. This is the first time I've really listened to them, not just have them pop up as a random band in a Spotify playlist, but I WILL check out more of them, 100%

[@stevecastiglione8901]

this is Sakura's band...she's a pretty formidable guitar player...

[@FranksReactions]

Yeah, the guitar solo was really good.

[@ひねった曲好き]

JUNNA は以前は「ガールズロックバンド革命」のメンバーだったので、動画をチェックしてみて下さい！ TRiDENT の NAGISA も要チェックです。JUNNA was previously a member of "Girls Rock Band Kakumei" ( now TRiDENT ) , so please check out the video ! JUNNA's successor as drummer, NAGISA of TRiDENT, is also an excellent drummer.

[@FranksReactions]

I'll put them on my list. This is SO cool. I get bands on my list that I've never heard about before. I think I might have heard of TRIDENT, but not actively listened to them.

[@michaelhill4353]

That awesome drummer is Junna, formerly of Girl's Rock Band Kakumei (now Trident). Her successor in that band, Nagisa, is also terrific.

[@FranksReactions]

Nice, I'll put Kakumei/Trident on my list.

[@danielkral9896]

Sakura and Junna are world class players

[@FranksReactions]

100%. I haven't watched Sakura all that much, if any, but I really like Junna's energy, that she always seems to have a blast behind the drums and is giving it her all.

[@frankallen3634]

I love how junna gets the drums sounding loke like the strongest thing in music. Bandmaid is my fallback. Im 60 so i can't be searching all over. But Japanese heavy female rockers are wonderful.

[@FranksReactions]

I'm starting to learn that female Japanese heavy metal musicians are probably THE best musicians on the planet. At least they are WAY high up on any list.

[@IanBreton35]

HAGANE previous Drummer KANAKO is a excellent drummer too , she's a support drum only in concert for Young band PALENEØ. the ex second Guitarist Mayto and ex Vocalist Uyu created a new band MANADIAGRAM. Nagi the new Vocalist is newbe behind Mic. Junna drummer on this video is also Joker Drummer for FATE GEAR ( Steampunk Metal) for overseas tour.

[@FranksReactions]

Thank you for the information about the musicians and I will put even more bands on my list. Seems like Japan is a never ending source for interesting bands.

[@IanBreton35]

@@FranksReactions Female Japonese Metal Band is a Big Rabbit hole , welcome.

[@stevewesley3841]

I remember when Junna was with Trident, there was no band name on the drums, only JUNNA. She seems a bit more of a team player now..

[@FranksReactions]

@@stevewesley3841 Yeah, that's a little strange, to use her own name. But I don't know how hard it is to change that, so might have just been a matter of convenience?

[@alexGuerrero-y5z]

Muy buena reaccion junna es la mejor te invito a reccionar lovebites otra vanda Japonesa buena

[@FranksReactions]

¡Gracias! Sin duda estaré revisando a Lovebites, están en mi lista. ¿Tienes alguna canción que me recomiendes para empezar? No sé español, así que esto está traducido al español a través de ChatGPT. Lo siento si está mal.

[@あおいろ-d8g]

カッコイイです。

[@thedocofrock1890]

HAGANE as you can see has been around a minute - with member changes - but this current lineup is fire. they could be major players if they stick together a while. hanabie and babymetal are the tip of the iceberg as far as japanese metal goes. the all female bands have been ruling the scene for a while now and you will see suggestions for LOVEBITES as one band you will not want to miss. every member is an all star player and 'set the world on fire ' live is a good place to start. kicking asses since 2017. here is a link to the song : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU

[@FranksReactions]

I'll be sure to check out more Hagane and all of the groups that you guys recommend. I've now done a reaction to Set the World on Fire. I had some reservations, but I think I just didn't gel with that specific performance. I have more of LOVEBITES coming up, and I think you will like it.

[@AION_LIMITED]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGOXZnqEZrl_prc There is a component called “HABAKI” to prevent KATANA from falling out of the case (SAYA). HABAKI also has the effect of protecting the blade because an appropriate gap is maintained between the blade and the case.🤘

[@FranksReactions]

Thanks for the information and the link! Yeah, I did some research and found out about the habaki. But either way, I think I would try to make sure and always use the thumb to lock in the sword. Wouldn't want it to fall out by accident and then reach for it... And thanks for the interesting link. Love channels like that.

[@andreyzuev5867]

The katana can be equipped with a special lock that prevents the sword from falling out of its sheath.

[@FranksReactions]

Yeah, I guess there is a solution for it. I watched Jesse Hu create a katana and he worked very hard on the bit of the katana under the guard, as the fit of that was very important for a secure fit.

[@andreyzuev5867]

@@FranksReactions This is not an assumption, this is a fact. :-) Combat katanas were equipped with such locks. Not all of them. (English is not my native language, so I might have spelled it wrong.)

[@FranksReactions]

No, no. You are good, and I'm sorry if it came out as I doubted you. It would have been strange if there wasn't any locking system, causing warriors to maybe accidentally lose their katana. And same, English isn't my native language either. Anyway, thank you for watching my video and commenting on it. I really appreciate it.

[@dx6479]

Try Band Maid song Hate Live

[@FranksReactions]

@evilvolts @dx6479 Thanks for the suggestions and links. I like to say that I like any type of music as long as it's good. This channel is a way for me to expand my music horizons, so I will go into any suggestion with an open mind.

[@dg3258]

Recommend LOVEBITES Hammer of Wrath live 2023 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8Usi=6wCBuxrKmbTpPkuH. Musicianship is exceptional, LIVE is unexplainable when you consider how technical / fast they're playing. They're a heavy metal band in a league of their own. They premiered 2 live videos this past week but I'd start with HoW as a primer. They don't have a single bad song and they sing in English. 🤘

[@FranksReactions]

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure to check them out. Sorry for the late reply, but YT held it as possible spam. I guess Hagane and LOVEBITES fans commented so much, YT got confused. 😁

[@jaysudais3877]

Maximum the hormone ... next

[@FranksReactions]

@@jaysudais3877 Thanks for the suggestions, and it's already on the list. Wish I had more time to record reactions so I could release more videos at a quicker rate.

[@MariaBarksdale-g1i]

check out Band-Maid from Japan 5 female band from japan. Huge discography. About 140 good songs. They are their own genre! They play all styles from punk to metal jazz, funk, classic rock, progressive, thrash etc. Will not disappoint.

[@FranksReactions]

Thank you for the tip, and I for sure will. Band-Maid was maybe the first band I noticed in this genre with their song Thrill, so many years ago. I should probably check that out again and see if I have the same reaction now.

[@frankallen3634]

Lovebites works well especially their lead guitarist is special

[@FranksReactions]

I hope you checked out my latest video, Lovebites with Edge of the World. Miyako's solo in there was SO powerful.

[@rodhamm8484]

This band has a lot of good stuff, this song is from the new line-up. They used to have two lead guitarists, the other one, Mayto along with the singer are now with a band called Mana Diagram, they play similar style music. I strongly recommend checking out LOVEBITES, my favorite band, they have over 50 songs and all of them are outstanding. Try the live performances of Set The World On Fire and Judgement Day as examples to start with, but really you can't go wrong with any of their songs.

[@FranksReactions]

Thanks for the information on the band and what happened to the singer and guitarist. And I'll be sure to check out both Mana Diagram and LOVEBITES. LOVEBITES were already on my list, but don't know if I've heard about Mana Diagram, so always nice to get some new ones.

Wow! That was quite a list, that should keep me occupied for a while. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@tanewoodley9806]

​@OhhGeeGee If you try Babymetal, watch Headbanger live at Legend 1997, BMC live at Budokan 2021 or Ijime Dame Zettai at Sonisphere 2014; live Babymetal is the best Babymetal 😎. Gimme Chocolate is their breakout hit, but it's 'love it or hate it', so I'd suggest the other tracks first. They have a very large selection of incredible songs, and their live performances are better than the studio tracks. They arguably blazed the trail for Japanese rock/metal to the rest of the world, and should be part of any channel looking at the fantastic richness of Japanese metal.

[@FranksReactions]

@@tanewoodley9806 Oh, I know Babymetal quite well, at least their "hits", so you can be sure that there will be more of them on this channel. Thank you for your specific suggestions, and they are now on the list.
