Hanabie 花冷え。「Envy」 MusicVideo【Official】(Reaction)

[@JK-tz6kk]

Daisuke (lead Screamer, Maximum The Hormone (MTH)) would be proud of Yukina (Lead Screamer, Hanabie). They used to do covers of MTH in Sr. High School as a club band. Try MTH, you'll see where Hanabie gets their inspiration. Great reaction, Po!

Ok, you want more Japanese bands? Japan has had an active all-girl metal scene since at least 1981. This is a starter list of all-female (or in eight cases, mixed gender) metal, punk, hard-rock and post-rock bands, with founding dates where I know them. It's alphabetical, except for the first three, which are at the top of the list for historical reasons. They set the table for the explosion of Japanese female hard-rock, punk and metal bands. Note: I have tried to pick clips that are reactor-friendly because they are high quality and are representative of the band's style. You are likely to get suggestions mainly for Band-Maid, Babymetal, Lovebites, Nemophila, Unlucky Morpheus and Wagakki Band. You can’t go wrong with any of those, but I hope you will find time to check out more of the bands on this list. They are all worth the time and deserve the love, and many will really surprise you.

If there are others you think belong on this list, please post a comment!

[@vdctube8966]

Great comment, lots of band to check out.

[@aomukai]

I really hope these girls gain more traction. They're awesome, just lacking some eyeballs on their stuff.

[@byerenny]

They have a new song release this Sunday titled Neet Game.

[@gordonbarton8440]

you should really check out maximum the hormone to find out where their sound comes from. ALIEN is the normal starting point for MTH

[@septiccrew]

Please check BandMaid and Trident , another all female band from japan....you be amazed, and check out the live performance...bandmaid rulez 🤘🤘🤘

[@hiawatha.g]

In case you didnt' see my comment on an earlier one: Hanabie (pronounced HAHN-a-bi-ǝ) This is what you get when Babymetal and Maximum the Hormone have a love child. They actually started in high school, playing MTH covers. Clearly one of THE new metal bands to watch. Members: Vocalist (Harsh, rap)- Yukina Guitarist and Clean vocals - Matsuri Bassist and backing vocals - Hettsu Drums - Sae They just dropped their first EP. Their producer is Gaku Taura, who is a support drummer for Crystal Lake. He has his own studio, Soul Japan. You have to check out: We Love Sweets: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKbqqyshaiciq8 (done) Reiwa matching generation (NSFW): kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDWkIeelNasf9U L.C.G. : kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6bRcqVmarKFn9U (done) Envy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pITZmX5vipd1js0 (done)

[@SeulgiAbsFanclub]

You should react to some lives performance, she sound like a demon even more and they really show how good they are. There's a mini compilation on their channel.

[@adidideen]

If you like punk and gothic rock, try react to Buck-Tick with song Go Go B-T Train. Heavy riff and meaningful lyric, try react to Ningen Isu with songs Heartless Scat or Toshishun. If you like instrumental metal guitar try react to trio band Asterism with songs Dawn, Gunfire or Church.

[@footy888]

Hanabie is Female Muximum the hormone!!

[@pattymeals2395]

MTH is already a 1/4 female band

[@ckiemnstr345]

You should check out PassCode's Taking You Out if you want to check out a different band. They had my favorite harsh vocals until Yuna retired so you should definitely check them out.

[@mcmuttons]

Here you go. A little sampler of the live experience on the official channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maW1YmypmsuJicU The sound quality is crap, but it's a small venue show and shows the fun and energy of their shows. You guys should definitely do their song Reiwa Matching Generation next. They have two albums, both of them on KZbin music, at least.

[@somewhere_on_earth00]

Let's listen properly first.

[@Greg-om2hb]

You can see 花冷え playing Envy at a small venue here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYusemenaKiXmJY

[@cactustactics]

If you haven't seen Band-Maid yet, get on that for sure - tons of songs and they're awesome. I reckon Blooming might be a good shout from seeing stuff you like!

[@Short_Round1999]

This is the probably one of the first solos we see from the guitarist and this drummer is a stand-in for their main Sae. Ther was another stand-in in LCG.

[@Wirmish]

React to Tina S. Any song. Prepare!

[@RudiTheMan]

Summer is your best bet for shows in Japan, specially at the peak or near the end of summer,

[@nanibrothers]

Appreciate the info 🙌🏼

[@mechanicat23]

Yup… Maximum the Hormone, but be ready for copyright crap. Maximum the Hormone is Japan metal on crack (otherwise known as Harajuku Style).

[@criscflores961996]
