HANABIE- WE LOVE SWEETS Reaction!! SOOO SWEEEEEET!!!!

[@realdocloco]

One of the reason why there's so many young bands in Japan is because of school "music clubs" (and as boys are more interested in sport, it's usually female dominated). Hanabie started in school as a Maximum The Hormone cover band, but soon started composing their own stuff. They are just over 20 now and already seasoned musicians.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

There is a great new Anime. Bocchi the Rock. About an all girl Japanese Rock group.

[@1970Phoenix]

Hanabie is one of my favourite bands. Japanese all girl metal bands are awesome.

[@jessecatron8225]

Hanabie reactions are the best. These ladies are fantastic. I recommend their songs Pardon me I have to go now or Neet Game next.

[@allanmoger1838]

Hanabie = Han-ah-bee-eh = #Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Their album “Girl’s Reform Manifest” is still one of my favorites, they know how to blend styles and make transitions and layers work like no one else right now. The OGs in this space are Aldious, and, as they have been around since 2008, there’s a lot of history and back catalog. All you really need to know is that their live performances are where they shine. Pick one. Love it. No one will watch though. 🙄 The very latest band to pop into consciousness are Hades with “Bring it on”. They are the band to watch right now. I don’t know if you have found Nemophila yet, they just did a U.S. tour and are top 3 with LOVEBITES and Band-Maid at the moment. Dissension, Adabana or Oiran live would all be a good place to start. My crush at the moment is a band called Lonesome_Blue who are a bit like LOVEBITES and Band-Maid had a love child - and they are woefully under appreciated. Check them out for a taste of a party metal disco rock pop extravaganza… when they aren’t just being second to none in the genre, which is also the title of their current album. 😬

[@LesDexia13]

Get used to the surprises and god tier musicianship. J-Music bands have some of the most original and proficient musicians on the planet right now, and they are proof of just how lame and shitty Western corporate music has become. Japanese schools have strong music programs and don't seem to discriminate based on sex, which explains why it isn't unusual at all to see mixed bands where women are likely to play any instrument, or supremely talented all-girl bands like HANABIE and LOVEBITES.

[@johnarksey9460]

And the journey continues - you're still just scratching the surface of the incredible Japanese female Rock/Metal scene... still have to check out Nemophila (Raitei or Dissension), Lovebites (Judgement Day), Gacharic Spin (I Wish I or Mindset).... and of course more Band Maid - Blooming, Dice, Freedom ( Live), Play (Live), Real Existence (Live)... and the video that saved the band from disbanding - Thrill...

[@realdocloco]

"from being disbanded" rather than "from disbanding" - the band members didn't even knew!

[@tackle47]

Besides Jinjer, Japanese metal dominates my playlist for the last 5 years. I still listen to old favorites like Maiden or Mastodon but damn the J-Metal scene is sick. Trey Mary’s Blood-Bloody Birth Daynlive, just saw you react to Nemophila and they have the same guitarist, Saki. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYCngX5reLiai5I

[@Mrlovebitten]

Bet you two are wondering what the hell japan is feeding these young women lol many of the bands from Japan are becoming very very popular with international fans such as yourselves because they are all so talented and it’s new to people who are so used to mainstream music they don’t realize how much good music is out there that don’t get the recognition they deserve so that’s why we are suggesting these bands so as many people can discover them like we have and now you…enjoy the ride because it’s just getting started lol

[@Jordan-Ramses]

Popularity always takes time. I am old enough to remember when Metallica was opening for older bands. Especially in Metal for whatever reason.

[@lito6242]

You guys have to react to a group called Asterism… a three piece Japanese metal band with an incredible talent… recommend a song call Dawn 2019 live…

[@TehPhysics]

Nobody is ready for little *Yukina* (4' 10'') to blow their wig off with that growl. Though she be but little, she is fierce! *Hanabie* (Ha-na-be-eh) mix metal, punk, rap, rock, pop, electronic, and whatever else they want, into their self-titled style called Harajuku-core. Named after the Harajuku district, which is known for it's cutting edge music and fashion. After watching the video, I'm sure you can see the influences. Hanabie are Yukina - clean/harsh vocals, Matsuri - vocals/guitar/composer, Hettsu - Bass/wardrobe design, Sae - drums/backing vocals. Here's a few song suggestions to help you along. 'Reiwa Dating Apps Generation' about the dangers of disposable relationships created by dating apps. Lot of rap influence 'Pardon me, I have to go now' a critique of the office culture of Japan. Tradition instruments 'NEET GAME' = Not in Education, Employment, or Training. Chip tune and electronic elements 'L.C.G.' (Lollipop Candy Girls) is about the awkward transition from youth to adulthood. High energy pop influence

[@ronniebrucehalford8396]

I discovered you two because of your reaction to Band-Maid. And I’m thrilled you’re continuing your journey into Japanese all-women rock and metal. I love Hanabie (pronounced Ha Na Be Eh in Japanese). Try their last two: Neet Game and Pardon Me I Have To Go

[@Iamsmallfry]

Welp, your reaction just introduced me to this band.😊

[@DavidKAnderson]

You're gonna love 'em. Literally no weak songs...

[@raddofzennla]

Hey guys, love your reactions. Check out another band from Japan, Sokoninaru. Start out with either Tenohira de odoru or Gou ni Moyu.

[@exDemonius]

We love...Hanabie. You pronounced the first long part of their name correctly, but there is E in the end that reads like 'eh'. Of course you have to losten more of their music. "Pardon me, I have to go now" - try this music video. Thank you for the reaction. More Hanabie, more Lovebites, more BAND-MAID on the channel. And you can try another Japanese heavy metal band called Unlucky Morpheus with their LIVE video "Black Pentagram".

[@billmcleangunsmith]

If you like that, you are going to love Saiseiga. They are a newer band so almost nobody knows about them, but those that do know, LOVE them. "Jumble" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIPLioltlsmWbbc

[@cius2112]

I second this, they are suuuuper underrated especially for how good they are.

[@r1learner178]

Cool reaction. Hanabie have such a big sound from a small band, it's great. Noticed you didn't blink a whole lot while watching this. LOL As for recommending a song, try any of them, I haven't heard a bad song from Hanabie.

[@JK-tz6kk]

Now that Yukina )Lead V/Scm) and Matsuri (Lead G) are done with college Ha-na-bi-eh are able to go full blast with touring. They are coming to the US in Sept (Louder than Life - Kentucky) and Oct ( AfterShock - Sac.).

[@fastskipper777]

In Japan, music class is mandatory up to Junior High. They usually have once or twice a week classes. Then in High School, it's not mandatory but students are highly encouraged to join after school club activities. If you watch many high school themed anime, you can not miss all the after-school club elements in anime. Naturally, most boys join sport clubs whereas girls join many other clubs including music clubs. Due to this fact, more girls go on to continue with music education or even going straight to being pro career after high school. And that's why there are so many amazing all girl pop/rock/hard rock/metal bands in Japan. They are usually highly skilled. For example, Misa, Akane and Kanami from Band-Maid were all in high school music clubs.

[@y.suzuki320]

👍👍 next asterism ・dawn 🎻

[@J_musicfan]

They are coming to the US. I plan to see them at Blueridge Rock Festival in Sept.

[@v-eye-p8444]

been listening to HANABIE for almost 5 years Japanese metal & rock for the past 10 years I don't understand a word but I love it !

[@mikeperkins3469]

I ❤Hanabie!! Check out their official KZbin channel with live concerts practice sessions and homey videos!

[@blacksunshine1437]

Yukina is a monster ! 🤯😍🔥🤘

[@khy0te605]

"Reiwa Dating App Generation", "NEET Game", "L.C.G." (Lollipop Candy Girl) (different drummer/old), "Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now", and "Envy" (different drummer/old) are all good songs no order to the list. Hanabie is said "Ha-Na-Bee-Ay" it means "cold flower(s)" and means a spring cold snap, Hanabi (how most English speakers pronounce the name) "Ha-Na-Bee" means "fire flower" or as we call them in the English speaking world fireworks. Most of Hanabie's songs talk about social/societal issues that affect women and more generally Japan. "We Love Sweets" is about how sugar is consumed in quantities that are dangerous to humans but we don't have any regulation on the consumption, and how it damages society. "Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now" is about how Japanese work culture is generally terrible, and the video adds in how hostile the workplace is for women in Japan (read terrible sexual harassment).

[@トンヌラ-r4j]

NEXT　CrystalRake　please　Apollo

[@bronandaaa]

Great reaction! you must check another song from hanabie. I recomended you next react, Hanabie - Envy my favorite song..

[@brunolheritier8829]

If you want to discover the multiple faces of this stunning band (my favorite one with Nemophila all around and by far), you should really try these ones : Love, Reiwa Dating Apps Generation, Pardon me I have to go now, Neet game, Our 7 days War. All of them are insane and pure gems... Enjoy!

[@TheCyberMantis]

🤘🏼🤪🤘🏼 Check out their new one: "Pardon Me, I have to go now"

[@Jordan-Ramses]

You should hear their brand new song 'Pardon Me' it has 2 million views in 2 months.

[@yakidin63]

Hanabie, Lovebites and Nemophila are my favorites. I also love the now disbanded Dazzle Vision 2004-2014. Their song "Second" is the fore runner to these later bands. Maiko was an amazing "screamo" singer.

[@lextcimbal7709]

THE HARDKISS - 7 вітрів (official video)

[@Gavrev]

With respect to all bands around the world, if anyone is keeping the core of metal alive and kicking it's Japan these days.. From here is Maximum The Hormone, who have been around for a while in the relative comparison of contemporary J-metal/rock, but again come recommended as a band which enjoy going off the wall. Discovering all these kinds of bands has turned You Tube into a virtual version of pass the parcel, but it's a good thing because it helps form community and helps to get the word out where much of the mainstream media is sadly failing us, whether that's down to politics, distribution contracts or whatever the issue may be..

[@Dead-Eye]

I love Hanabie, they're fucking nuts.

[@ragman7266]

Love this song. Really like the band. I'm excited to go see them live in September!!

[@kminish6532]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet but I'm gonna throw out the band Nemophila for you guys to check out.

[@inRopinion]

A vid of them is actually about to come out in a few minutes!!

[@dudleysmith4394]

Who could imagine singing about a crush on a strawberry cake, chou ala creme and chocolate can be metal? But it surely worked.

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, Band-Maid: Those Japanese ladies just turn the world upside down. "Expectations suck." "We don't care about genres." "Just get it straight." And their drummers turn into _beasts_ on their drum risers. Holy moly.

[@schalla_ang]

Great reaction!! Definitely coming back for more! Check this one out Broken By The Scream - 感情クロスカウンター -

[@raineramelung7380]

Hi.. You Gt a,, Adidas, cap.. So try another German stuff.. 🤔 :"Jennifer Rostock - Kaleidoskop".. /or/.. :"Slime-lieben müssen" (means. Must love..) Enjoy

[@masakijhoji7923]

nice reaction👍 HNABIE🔥 most of the english speaking people It's pronounced like hanabyee, but it's HA, NA, BI, E. please next DEXCORE - BRAIN WASHING kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpDQZYlsjKaKoM0 This band is also a Japanese 🇯🇵 band. You will be even more surprised if you check the member's gender in the comments after watching the video.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

It is pronounced "ha-na-bee-eh" (with an even rhythm and a level tone) and it means "cold flowers" or "spring flowers" or "cherry blossoms" or "chilled sake". If you pronounce it "ha-na-bee" then it means "We want fireworks"

[@alearr]

They are amazing indeed. This song is about sugar dependency. They often sing about social issues. Yes, another rabbit hole (a very loud one 😅) 🇯🇵🤘🏻

[@IsoIsak]

I don't mean to be rude, and there's nothing wrong with it, but I find it so interesting that English native speakers don't even see that there is an "e" at the end of the word. I guess it's because of weird English spelling and loan words, they've just become used to ignoring certain letters. Or maybe it's because they so often insist on pronouncing "e" as "i." Regardless, I find it fascinating. (No shade on you, literally everybody does it).

[@jz55859]

Next up - "Pardon Me, I have to go Now". Also, "Neet Game". You'll love them. New sub here.

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Hanabie ( think Canadian: Hanna - Be - Eh? ) were a Maximum the Hormone cover band before writing their own music. Their latest video is 'Pardon Me - I have to go now' is also nice. These girls have style! But try Maximum The Hormone - they've been around for over 20 years and are HUGE - in Japan. They were big influence on Hanabie. They blend and bend music genre: metalcore, pop, rap, anime, there's nothing too jarring for MTH. Guitar, vocal Ryo is brother to sister Nao, the drummer. 'A.L.I.E.N.' starts as hardcore metal and then suddenly FUNK, then back to metalcore, and then? WTF? You WILL NOT BELIEVE IT. 'Yoshu Fukushu' start with the drummer sweeting singing a gentle, sweet song, then the SHTF and everything goes INSANE!

[@jerebrock19987]

Hah Nah Bee Eh Phonetically. Im glad you guys are taking them up for what theyre well worth lol Good stuff

[@Mizanato]

Like ur reaction, already subscribed.

[@cyberpotato63]

No oompa loompas were exploited in making this music video.

[@lorenzobarga4456]

I had exactly your same speechless face the first twenty seconds of the songs 😮

[@EmeraldRich]

Then you figure out that this whole song was about if they should eat sweet, the scientific breakdown of what sweets do to the body, and choosing what sweets you want.

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

For another japanese experience try maximum the hormone alien. Spoiler it is heavier than that one.

[@ManuelFuentes]

I recommend their song GhostMania

Don't think. Just enjoy.

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

They are fun! I like "Neet game" and "Pardon me, I have to go now" and "Ado".

[@rolandkarlsson7072]

I also like the duets that the singer (Yukina) and the guitarist (Matsuri) have made. They are totally different and beautiful. You can search on their names. I think you will find four. And I love them.

Did you watch Galneryus "angel of salvation"? Bands worth watching (and listening to): Nemophila, Aldious, Yousei Teikoku, Unlucky Morpheus, Bridear.

[@danwhite9644]

I like them they got some really good songs are good. You want some other Japanese female metal listen to the band Trident and I really like your song cry out. In another band that's really good is lonesome blue and the song face the fear. And then there's a stuff from Korea that I really like the band dih the song not enough the band rolling and pretty much everything of theirs and needed some really good cover also

[@_Gato.Negro_]

It's not Hanabi, it's Hanabi-Eh To pronounce the name correctly you just have to add the E at the end.
