I will also add, they are famously one of the most crazy and energetic, as well as high skill, live bands in Japan, there are many amazing bits of footage of them from over the years, also their more metal focused side project DOLL$BOXX.

I love these ladies. They pronounce it like Gotcha Rick. They are all pretty interesting. The pink haired singer, Angelina 1/3, is a relatively new member and the youngest. There is also another drummer, Yuri, that joined in 2019. The drummer in this video, Hana, is a multi-instrumentalist and has pretty much moved to guitar. The bass player, F Chopper Koga, was getting ready to quit music, but she got together with her high school friend Hana and decided to make this band. They can all sing, but F Chopper doesn't really sing much. There are quite a few songs where Angelina 1/3, Hana, Oreo (keyboardist) and Tomo-zo (guitarist) sing. They all have great voices. The band has had some ups and downs, like the loss of their original singer, Armmy, who left in 2012 due to health reasons, and passed away in 2015. They've had quite a few touring vocalists. One of their side projects, Doll$Boxx, featured the lead singer, Fuki, from another great band called Unlucky Morpheus (metal band with a violin). The videos from Doll$Boxx are pretty fun.

The genre bending Lady's of Japan.....they break all the rules🤔😏❤️🎙🎸🎹🥁😎🤘 Try Band-Maid, " Blooming, " MV.

'I wish I' is another ga CHAR rick spin song you should check out if you want something heavier & less funky that is somewhat genre divergent.

"Gacharic" sounds like "Gotcha, Rick!"

Oh bro they are insane live. TAMASHII is a good live one.

You described your own music as genre bending, so I think you'll love Gacharic Spin, they do a bit of everything, mix it all up and output pure Gachapin (nickname for the band). Bassist F Chopper Koga is a well known bass-player in Japan, the "Chopper" part of her name is in fact a reference to the Japanese term for bass slapping which is "chopping". Here is a live clip of them performing this song live in January 2022: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5eogpp40b7ag3U.html Hana, who was on drums in the MV you reacted to here, is on guitar here as drummer Yuri who was off on maternity leave had returned by the time this was filmed. Hana adds some wailing prog guitar licks over that crazy interlude. There is also this live clip from June 2021: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ord2ddqp1KvSnZs.html Hana is on drums here as Yuri was still off on maternity leave at the time. I would recommend to watch their song "I Wish I" next.

Imagine when these guys hear Sokoninaru? Can’t wait for that reaction.

Hey ya. May I suggest you to try checking out Band-Maid. It's another all-female rock band from Japan formed from 2013. They just finished their US tour in Oct 2022 also. Domination Official Live version is a good start for you.

The bass player was also a model

Great band .Top Talent .

This song is in my playlist, it is awesome. Love this band. But if you're doing the Japanese music scene you have to do Band-Maid. Like Domination live or if you want something harder, reincarnation or from now on.

Great reaction. My introduction to this band was a live version of this song and when it was over I literally thought "WTF did I just listen to?" The solo reminded me of the short lived jazz rock fusion genre of the 1970"s. These women are extremely talented and you guys are right, their music can border on chaotic but it flows. Somehow they can put a variety of genres into their music writing blender and what comes out is pure Gacharic Spin. They have definitely become one of my favorite bands. The energy of their live shows is off the charts. Hopefully one day I can see them live.

Great reaction! Love this band! Check out their song I Wish I too. It gets heavier and is full of dynamics.

Gacharic Spin is sooooooo good. You should check out I Wish I. Another great song. And their life performances are amazing. Tamashii live is a must check out😄👍

Hi guys, new in your youtube channel, you became one of my favorite reaction creators, appreciate greatly giving the performers the full size screen, your comments are awesome and fun to watch, wishing your channel a faster gain in popularity and preference, good luck

Gacharic Spin has the distinction of having one of the best bass players who also teaches bass guitar on the side in F, Chopper Koga

Sounds like someone likes Primus. That slappin is happenin!!! Chaotic Funk, this is so cool!!

This is one of the songs I listen to when I'm getting my day started. Stuck in traffic jamming out to GS. I'm sure the other drivers get a treat watching me dance in my seat. So many good songs from this band. Definitely check out 「I wish I」live, posted a couple months ago. Hana, drums and vocals, also absolutely shreds on the guitar. But you really can't go wrong with any song. And they genre bend like you wouldn't believe. Funkiest rock band in Japan. And if you are going down the Japanese female rock band path, then Band-Maid is a must listen. And you wanna talk about genre bending, B-M is their own genre. You mentioned MtH. Akane, the drummer, got her inspiration to play from Nao. She's a huge fan. And her double kick is ferocious. I recommend Secret My Lips or DOMINATION Live. But really, any B-M song will leave you speechless. A few other of my favorites would be Tricot (math rock), TRiDENT (Hard Rock), SCANDAL (rock/alt rock) and Mass of the Fermenting Dregs (ummm, MotFD). ぽ

You havn't seen their final form yet! You should check out their alter ego " Doll$Boxx". Which combines 4 of the Gacha girls + the lead singer from "Unlucky Morpheus" Fuki. Suggestions to start that journey. "Shout Down", "Karakuri Town", " Sekaiwa Kitto Aiwo Shitterunda". All songs mentioned have vids so they are easy to find.

Great reaction. I love Gacharic Spin. With the reactions you've done so far, Band-Maid should be next on the list. Domination (live), Play, and Dice would be good to start with, but like others have said, pick any Band-Maid song and you can't go wrong. Another Japanese band to check out is Ningen Isu. They have been around since the 80's but have recently gotten more exposure through KZfaq. Namahage and Heartless Scat would be good songs to start with. I look forward to more reactions. Peace

Thank you for all this information. I agree their technical prowess is not acknowledged enough in reaction videos. They are clearly technically trained on advanced jazz riffs and styles - hence the Return to Forever clip.... Incredible creativity in all of their songs. The musicianship is something I never tire of even after seeing their videos countless times! They are chaotic, yes. BUT they are not random - their chaos is perfected to the note and is replicated perfectly live too. VERY few groups could handle this advanced music.

Lovebites has the distinction of having the best drummer, best duo guitarist, an amazing voice lead singing, and their new bassist at 20 is already a musical prodigy

Don't get them twisted they're all fucking masters at their instruments

I was browsing your videos earlier and I see that you haven't reacted to LOVEBITES yet. Take this challenge with their newest song "Stand and Deliver (Shoot 'em Down)" and you can thank me later 😊

The band has had some meber changes but the Bassist Guitarist and drummer are all original members the keyboardist joined after first album. All the women can sing but the three main are the drummer the Keyboardest and the frontwoman. The drummer has also played second guitar and the band added another drummer but not sure if new drummer is permanent member. The band has a second band called Doll$ House that does some different style music.

If Gachric Spin blow your mind wait till you hear/see Band Maid.

SLAPs

I don't think anyone gets the pronunciation right first time. Sounds pretty close to 'Gotcha-Rick Spin' :) They ARE, in fact, amazing live. Check out Tamashii (live 2019)!

GS started in 2009, with a lead singer called Armmy (Takae Ashitomi). They did a sort of highly technical punk-pop, but crossed genres a lot. They started to have friction between Armmy and the rest of the band, and then in early 2012 she left, officially for health reasons. She died in 2015; their work with her is very much worth seeing-here is an early one: “Setsunaku” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMyqfNdjlcXciJs.html The girls were all just out of high school, and you can see they were already very technical. When Armmy left, GS had tours lined up in both Japan and abroad for 2012, and needed a lead singer. For the Japan tour various singers (including Fuki) filled in for different shows, but they couldn’t find someone good enough who could also commit to the band full time For their overseas tour Hana (who was doing drums and vocals and was effectively the co-leader of the band) took the lead vocals on herself. She also happens to play several other instruments. Here is a live performance of their track Across The Now from a tiny venue in France (filmed as part of their 2012 overseas tour-this was Hana's first test at taking lead vocals whilst drumming): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbKeiaSY1tKpaJs.html GS had had great chemistry with Fuki when she filled in for them, so while they were figuring out what to do with GS they contacted Fuki about doing a more metal project. This became Doll$Boxx. They wrote and recorded their first album at the end of 2012, then picked up GS again full time in 2013. This remains their main focus, and Fuki is busy with many projects including her main band Unlucky Morpheus, but they occasionally continue to perform together when their schedules permit. So Doll$Boxx can be considered a special project of GS. Regarding the genre of Gacharic Spin, it's pretty much impossible to pin it down to any one thing, although by and large they'd probably fall very roughly in the "pop rock" genre although they really just do whatever they want at any given time. You'll find everything in their back catalogue from metal and punk to electro, dance, pop and ballads. Most of their recent work merges multiple genres. In recent years, Gacharic Spin have added more personnel (a drummer, allowing Hana to focus on guitar and vocals, and dancers who also sing). Core personnel (these are also the members of Doll$Boxx along with Fuki): Hana (Hana Sano): vocals, drums, guitar, keytar, other instruments Tomo-Zo (Tomoko Midorikawa): lead guitar F-Chopper Koga (Michiko Koga): bass Oreo Reona (Reona Suzuki): keyboards, vocals All of them can sing and occasionally take on lead or backing vocals. Hana and Oreo also do metal growls in some songs. Several other performers have rotated in and out of GS. Currently they list Yuri as their drummer and Angelina doing dance and vocals. Here's a fun video of them performing their track Hunting Summer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nL2ArLuL38u6Y40.html Oreo takes lead vocals on this and there's a fun dueling keyboard solo between her and one of the dancers. Here is Fantasy Medley, live, a medley of several of Tomo-zo's songs which are often named with a fantasy theme like Weekend Fantasy, Final Fantasy, etc: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frKfpNuQm6iXhKs.html Finally, you just watched "Mindset". Lets just say very few bands have the technical chops to pull off anything like this.

Always great to see musicians discover this incredibly talented and super fun band. They do it all and it never gets boring!! 🔥🤘🏼🎸🎼🎤🇯🇵🥁😀✌🏼

Your remarks about Pop really hit the mark. I guess a lot of us read pop as "compromising for broader appeal" - which is not what this is - but if you really just boil it down to "dominant beat and catchy melodies", Gacharic Spin are as pop as it gets. Oh, and yeah: Totally check them out live. It's not at all what you seem to expect but they're just mind-blowing live.

Gacharic Spin is a shock at first listen! I found them too chaotic at first - it was the live version of "Koete Yuke", a more straightforward song, that got me into their music. That & "Tamashii" are great to check out live.

need to check out doll$boxx take my chance MV most of the former members of this band are in it and its a great song

This band swaps out their singer to become a metal band called "Doll$boxx".

Wow, this is real musicians reactions! Not only catching their vibe and feelin' their energy but listening to them thoroughly. I've listened to this song a hundred times and it's strange but only this time I felt the presence of their original vocalist Armmi (R.I.P.). Maybe it's references to their early videos, maybe it's crazy energy reminding bout Armmi, I don't know. But I'm sure they remember and love her

If you haven't seen them live, you haven't seen them at all :D My personal favourite is Broken Lover Live: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7yEo5aEqrneoI0.html but they have lots of incredible live performances on KZfaq.

You're right! These ladies are incredibly fun to watch. Their live performances are incredible. I hope to get around to watching Tamashii (live). It's a very fun track with some amazing musical sections and multiple vocals.

Yooo yall gotta do a reaction to Gacharic Spin's new song Kachi-Kachi Yama that JUST dropped. They are actually doing a contest for the best reactions. They put up a video on their channel with details!

Every song from Gacharic Spin is a little different, style wise at least. They make music for all ages and styles. They are more prog...but they just consider themselves as entertainers.

nice reaction there. i really like when some musician fellas react to great music, they know what are they talking bout. btw if love their song try their other project same band but with differrnt vocalist, called dollsboxx, try merrily high go round or take my chance. they are more rock there

🤘😁🤘

If you haven't already, you may wish to also check out Unlucky Morpheus, Scandal, Band-Maid, Bridear, Fate Gear. I personally would thump loudest for Band-Maid, however everyone else I mentioned very good. I just happen to think Band-Maid is the current best LIVE Hard Rock Band. If you do check out Band Maid, I would recommend Domination - LIVE, Play -LIVE, Freedom - LIVE, almost ANYTHING by Band-Maid, check out the LIVE version first, then the MV. As for more Gacharic Spin check out their live performance of Tamashii from their 10th anniversary concert. With both Hana and Yuri on drums. That performance is breathtaking.

I see that you have been drawn into the rabbit hole of J-rock and metal and it’s a deep hole with loads of great bands. There are lots of good recommendations in the comments. My suggestion is a band from Mexico called The Warning. They are 3 sisters that play classic rock. They were touring last year supporting Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless and Three Days Grace among others. They have also opened for Foo Fighters, Guns and Roses and Muse. They really rock and are an amazing live band. Here is a recent live version of their song ‘Disciple’ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdVgosed0bzVaJs.html

You gotta check out "I wish I" by Gacharic Spin! You will not regret it.

Gacharic Spin pernah satu panggung tampil bersama dengan Nemophila

Try this: SOKONINARU - Tenohira De Odoru

" I wish I" shows how different their Songs can be. " Tamashii " Live is another great one. ( BTW they did Tamachii on Toy Instruments during the Pandemic ... so funny ) Gacha Balls are Platic Balls in a Machine , you turn the Handle and open it and never know what you get. This Track and some others from Band-Maid ( Warning , Blooming and From now on , for example ) are my every Morning Energy Fix. I can walk to my Workplace and am Hyped AF when I arrive. No need for Drugs 😂😂

Much better than Chilli Peppers...

In america pop means pop rocks (gumball music so mickey mouse) in japan pop means popular rock ]:P

50 years ago the stuff at the top of Billboard WAS the good stuff. Today it's the dead stuff.

I assume Lovebites is on the Japan journey setlist somewhere. 😀

Subbed.

I watch Gacharic Spin primarily for Tomo Oz the guitarist. Since one of you play guitar, I suggest NEXT "Instrumental" it's a Tomo Oz solo. Also you need to react to Band Maid, in 2015 after 2 years of struggle they recorded the MV "Thrill" that got posted on Facebook. 2 million views in 2 weeks with about 45% of the views from the US and Europe. This is their 10th anniversary year. 1st reaction - "Freedom" and/or "Domination". All Japanese bands are better Live!!

Anyway, the word 'pop' has no musical meanings --- melody, rhythm, key or usually used instruments. Anything having some popularity lol Gacharic Spin is an all female band and at the same time all vocalist band. Adding another strong vocalist Fuki, becomes DollsBox. Take My Chance / DOLL＄BOXX kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9tirZeGy5-4l5c.html I recommend two more. Tenohira De Odoru / Sokoninaru kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ19rNJz0M-dp58.html Namahage / Ningen Isu kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLumftikzpaZfXU.html

If you like ordered chaos, you need to check Sokoninaru. A three piece that sounds like ten! They just came out with a new video. Sorry I can't tell what it's called lol.

Real life Bevis and Buthead.....

It was a fun reaction video! Thank you, guys👍😉 Btw, all members of Gacharic Spin except the bassist can sing😂 I was going to suggest Band-Maid, but you said you are fun of Band-Maid and MTH. So I suggest you my #2 fav band "Sokoninaru". They are an extremely technical 3-piece Mathcore band. Here is the song I suggest: Tenohira-de-odoru: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ19rNJz0M-dp58.html Have fun!

Dude all their music is different too
