The Japanese metal/rock scene is incredible, dominated by the all female bands. Lovebites, Nemophila, Band-Maid, Hanabie have upped the anty IMO. One of many things I love about Hanabie is their sick riffs, often behind kawaii vocals. I love their time changes & genre switches they always have in their songs. Keep on the Japanese journey, it never disapoints.

I was lucky enough to see Nemophila, Hanabie, Band-Maid, and Asterism this year. The videos are great but when see them live they really step it up!

I've fallen in love with Japanese female rock/metal bands. Hanabie, Band-Maid, Nemophila. Hanabie has so many incredible songs. Reiwa dating apps, Be the Gal, Pardon me I have to go now, Envy, Sentimental Heroine, L.C.G, Time Out, Ghost Mania, Our 7 Days War, Sunrise Miso Soup. I love them...

They do those switch ups so well because they started out as a MAXIMUM THE HORMONE cover band in high school. Every MTH song is a masterclass in time, key and even genre changes in a song. There are many bands in Japan that probably would not exist if it were not for MTH, that's how influential they are. If you want to check them out listen to their song A.L.I.E.N.

Hetz, bassist, is such a goddess. We’re not worthy!😄💪🏻🤘🏻

They have been together since High School, they were a Maximum the Hormone cover band. They have now finished college and are conquering the metal core world. Very successful US tour. Yukina got to perform with Limp Bizkit!! They write their songs!!!

I saw them Live in Berlin last year. And man let me tell you the Pit was on fire. These Ladies can hype up a crowd

you've been dropped into a deep deep rabbit hole of Japanese metal/rock and im very eagerly waiting for you to listen to Band-Maid.

Welcome to _Harajuku-core!_ Hanabie named their style after the legendary Harajuku district that inspires their look and music. It's famous for its street fashion, music, shopping, and art scene. As you heard, Harajukucore is an energetic mix of metal, electronic, rock, punk, rap, pop, and even traditional instruments. You are right about them having a good time while performing. Hanabie live is a party. They make sure the audience is involved and having as much fun as they are. Yukina (vo.) and Hettsu (bass/cho.) are the hype-women for the live shows. Even when Hettsu rolled her ankle and had to perform while sitting, she made sure the audience was jumping. They have a lot of songs about serous subjects, but they always deliver that message in an entertaining way. Here's a few song recommendations for you - 'Pardon me, I have to go now', 'Be the GAL - early summer ver.', 'NEET GAME', 'Envy', 'Reiwa Dating Apps Generation', 'Tousou' (run away), and 'LOVE Ranbu'. You can basically choose anything from their back catalogue, and you'll enjoy it. Thanks for checking out Hanabie. ❄🌸

They call their genre Harajuku-core! All of their latest music videos are very funny. The girls are having a blast. Now they have a new drummer, Chika. And she drums even harder! Thank you for the reaction! More Hanabie, Nemophila, Lovebites and BAND-MAID on the channel!

There is a live version of "Reiwa Dating Apps Generation" (Live Satanic Carnival 2023) - what Yukina does there is INHUMANE :)

The drummer is very strong, but... in the meantime she left the group and was replaced with Chika, perhaps even better than the previous one (Sae). The lead singer is Yukina, on bass is Hettsu and on guitar the wonderful Matsuri. In any case, most of their videos are funny and very enjoyable (for example the so-called trilogy: "Pardon me, I have to go now"; "Tosou (Run away)" and the last, but no less funny "Be the GAL ~ Early Summer version". So congratulations for the reaction and congratulations for having discovered the fantastic world of Harajukucore!!

Love Hanabie. they are so good live and they really do have a lot of fun, Yukina is a monster and has such a huge stage presence and she is only 4'10, Hanabie. does not have any bad songs, You could literally pick any song out of a hat. Cant wait to see more! they also have a new track coming out on the 19th of this month,

Hanabie is a blast, one of my two favorite bands right now. They have so much fun, if you continue with these girls they have sort of a trilogy of songs that's a great ride and shows their sense of humor even more: Pardon me, I have to go Tousou (Run Away) Be the Gal (summertime ver) If you want to check out another amazing japanese band that is more rock than metal, Band Maid is fantastic, I'd start with the Domination (Official Live) video with them.

Hanabie is amazing. Definitely you need to see more of their stuff

You should seriously check out Band Maid. I recommend Domination live version, from their channel.

Nemophila - Dissension, next! Another great female Japanese metal band!

Waiting patiently, Po!............🕊️

another great band Bridear. Also from Japan

Hanabie. is awesome, anything you check out from them will be an absolute banger. If your looking for other groups to check out I would recommend PassCode.

I was lucky enough to see them live a few weeks ago, It was epic.

Where have you been man? 😜 Hanabie = #Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Two albums and an EP deep, not to mention a great US tour, Hanabie won 2023. They have a new drummer since this, Chika - she’s equally good and maybe hits even harder!

They got more, just as good as that, maybe better :D Thanks for the reaction and thoughts. If fun is what your after, and it's certainly a large part of what I am after with music most of the time, then there are a few more groups to check out that are in the same Hanabie ballpark in one sense or another. They would all be new to your channel so might be knew to you. Broken By The Scream | 「Rising sun feat. サンシャイン池崎」MV｜OFFICIAL Passcode - Taking you out (Taking you out TONIGHT! Tour 2018 Final at Zepp Divercity Tokyo) Gacharic Spin「I wish I」 This particular song isn't quite as fun as the others, though this band is generally incredible fun, this song however is more in the metal realm than most of their other songs so I am suggesting it anyway. ATARASHII GAKKO! - Night Before the Exam (Single-take performance) Not metal but has the right kind of energy so a lot of metalheads I know love them anyway. Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire [Official Music Video] Again, not metal.... but the energy...

Next reaction from Hanabie - Tousou

Welcome to Harajuku-Core! Great reaction! Hanabie is so varied and refreshing. Be sure to check out "Pardon Me I Have to Go Now", "Tousou", "Be the Gal" early summer Ver and "Reiwa Dating Apps Generation"

Watch some fancams. Pretty much any of them. They are insane live and authentic and use their backing tracks honestly.

Next check ASTERISM songs Dawn, Rising Moon, Lights In The Darkness, Church.....

I`ll se them again (and BabyMetal) in June in Germany @ Rock Im Park Festival as 48yo Metal-Head

Hanabie is amazing

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

🤘🇺🇦🤘

Welcome to the best Japanese female metal band. Do you like fun? I don't know any band with more fun in their videos, songs and live shows. Do you like very good, honest and emotional growls? Tiny Yukina is a beast that exudes the most cuteness at the same time. Do you like brilliant changes in music? Apart from Maximum The Hormone, I don't know of any other band that is as varied as Hanabie, and not just from song to song, but also within the songs. 95 minutes ago, Hanabie premiered her latest music video, OTAKU Lovely Densetsu. Must see.

😎😎😁🤘🤘🤘

If you want to react to Japanese MALE metal bands with great voices (not harsh thou) Galneryus / Angel of Salvation (live) it is 16 minutes long but it is a joy to watch. The singer reach some notes there! Another great voice is the singer in the VK band Versailles / Faith and Decision (live) . The first half of the song is instrumental but the singer has a very good voice!

Hi James We Love Sweets, *TOO* ..!! May i suggest you something.? Reiwa Matching Generation (hanabie), Tousou (hanabie) All songs, no exception (The original Babymetal)

I felt like metal is getting a bit dull over the last decade. But dude, Japanese female bands like hanabie just invented a new sub genre. I love what they do over there.

More great Japanese metal vocals? Saiseiga.

The history of female harsh vocalists is a bit rough in Japan. Especially domestic artists. Until 2016 there really wasn't any group that made a mainstream splash but then the idol group PassCode switched to Japanese electronicore full time and got picked up by Universal Music Japan and made an initial splash. After that they got a huge boost by some other bands and were the only group that could easily sustain themselves until Nemophila burst on the scene in 2020. Hanabie should be joining those two this year with how much help they've gotten from the likes of SiM and other major domestic Japanese bands plus they have the discography to back it up.
