Yo, you gotta check out OMA meet Hieroglyphics (Souls of Mischief, Del the Funky Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love). UK band, US emcees! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*just* jez’s type

This is also my favorite of their newer songs. Matsuri singing sounds great, and Yukina also as always.

I think, there are still a bunch of recent songs which are way harder that this one. In this one I like Matsuri's singing. In their older songs her voice felt sometimes a little bit annoying to me. Yukina is always amazing what she can do with her voice.

Zoro so tuff😭🙏

"What are they playing?" IRL Matsuri & Hettsu are the gamers in the band. Both play JRPGs (Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter, Zelda), Matsuri plays lots of online shooters (Apex, Overwatch, Valorant), Hettsu likes more chill stuff (Minecraft, Animal Crossing). Many Hanabie songs have references to JRPGs either in their titles (Hyperdimension Galaxy, Tales of Villain), or in their lyrics and videos (Otaku, Neet Game).

Cool reaction man. Every time I watch this I notice something else. Babymetal huh? You might as well see them at the beginning with Doki Doki Morning at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mc-im7RpzrLIkqs.html And for the contrast jump to the present with Babymetal - Road Of Resistance (PIA Arena 2023 Live) (it is one of their earlier songs) at: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jtZ3hbyZvp6dZ3k.html Then realise they have about 70 odd other songs that are very diverse. Beware the rabbit hole. I think you have to be careful with getting strikes with Babymetal songs - there is a list somewhere of songs that are okay for reactors. Someone might be able to help you out with that.

Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you're unfamiliar with BABYMETAL I'd suggest doing a mix of old and new songs to get started: 2012: いいね！ (ii ne!): qVdBBOpSoN4 2014: イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ (ijime, dame, zettai - No More Bullying, Forever) live at Sonicsphere UK: Ro-_cbfdrYE 2023: メタり！！ (Metali) feat. Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine: hkij4LvACZ0 2024: RATATATA! (with Electric Callboy): EDnIEWyVIlE In general with BABYMETAL it's always better to watch live performances than music videos.. but 3 of those above are music videos. The 2014 video is their first big live performance overseas in the UK.. in front of a gigantic crowd of metalheads that really didn't know them. It was a break-through moment for them.. as they were accepted into the metal community They have had one member change. At the end of 2017 YUIMETAL became unable to perform with the band due to an unspecified health issue. So the following few years you will see some odd configurations. They switched to an "avenger" system of rotating some girls into the spare slot.. but now one of those avengers has been accepted as a full new member of the band as MOMOMETAL In the early few years they didn't have the money to have a full live band on stage, so if you see skeleton suited guys playing instruments then they are just miming. After this period they got a full on backing band called the kami-band (god band) composed of some of the best musicians in Japan Vocals: SU-METAL (Suzuka Nakamoto) Scream/dance: MOAMETAL (Moa Kikuchi) Scream/dance: YUIMETAL (Yui Mizuno - retired) Scream/dance: MOMOMETAL (Momoko Okazaki - officially from 2023- but she was one of the avengers before this too) PS: keep going with the Hanabie reactions too, though :)

Considering your interest in hearing them rap, I'm surrprised you haven't gotten a ton of suggestions for "L.C.G.," which has probably the most rapping and hip hop influence of all their songs, other than Reiwa Dating Apps Generation, which I know is already on your do-list! L.C.G. - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9uedNVhmrO2mac.htmlsi=YLihAzsYg7PoyVtz Reiwa Dating Apps Generation - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grWjkreZxNfdeac.htmlsi=balsqGrWgLyGqI_V (I know this one is already on your list, but linked her for convenience)

Nice again! The best lyric here is I'm a stay at home security guard... Cute

FIRE🔥🔥🔥🤟

Taking shots while on stage is amazing too! And they go in the pit for solos as well 🤘

Love these girls, they fucking smash!

Let's FLY HIGH! AG! One of a kind🔥🔥🔥🔥 SUZUKA 💖

Niching Down for a long time is bad, shit at the beginning u should make a lot of different things and see what sticks, meaning gets views, and then lock in on that, and why are u locked in on a certain subject, develop a relationship with the viewers, so they come back and know your personality and like your content or art. And when they fuck wit u, they will watch it because of you and make content that’s your passion, because creating something then becomes a burden. Good video, as always g, but why u be always wearing a bonnet?

I couldn’t agree more Jez. It’s very important to express different interest. If someone is gonna do a specific kind of content, it’s more so like they’re trapped from that. People are gonna expect the same exact content every single upload. And when you’re stuck to it, your content feels like a job rather than a hobby. If a content creator transitions to something else, I fully expect the supporters to still be there for them. And there’s nothing wrong to sticking to one thing, it just has its pros and cons. Real good stuff Jez, I like the all-around content thing you’ve accomplished around your channel. 💙🙏

Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Both recommendations are sound. Non video tracks such as “Want to TIE-UP” and “LOVE Ranbu” are musts too. Both are live set favorites and both are epic.

NEW HANABIE REACTION OUT NOW: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ld2YrNZn2Z-nnHU.htmlsi=7LL2mOVLlVpJo7Xg

Went from buying the drinks to serving the drinks. LOL They put this song in their set list because they feel "it has a rather mature ambience and it's a danceable song" - gives the fans a chance to relax a bit when compared to a Wall of Death I suppose. LOL

Great review as always! Don't forget some of their non MV songs. They are according to Matsuri the band's favourites, and a lot of us agree.. warning, sunrise miso soup, love ranbu, and I think also Believer which is all in english. Sony didn't support the music video but those songs are insane

This sounds so different, yet it still has all the same elements that make them Hanabie!😂

"Pardon Me" and "Tousou" are loosely tied together. The rest, I have no idea!🤷‍♂️ For Babymetal, please do "Catch Me If You Can" live from Japan, with Intro! I personally think it is THE best intro to Babymetal song and MV. * Be sure to do some pausing too for the copyright gods!😁

Warning, Reiwa Dating Apps has simulated sexual activity. I Girl's Talk song, but it's more something to listen on your car radio rather than watching a video. Though if you like R&B, definitely do Fuji Kaze's "Shinunoga E-wa" live version. smooth as silk.

Love this band

🤘🇺🇦❤️ Hanabie

New Hanabie Reaction Out Now: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8V3h7Skysubppc.htmlsi=37--ZZMptltFKfUA

The guy story line is just like Easter Eggs. Pardon Me he was the asshole boss punched out by Yukina, Tousou he looks at his phone saying he had been fired for being an asshole and Yukina punches him, Be the Gal he found a new job as a DJ see little things funny to notice but not important to the song. Reiwa Dating Apps Generation is the most rap like song and the video is hot😂

The women in the video are part of a subculture in Japan called gyaru, from the English word gal. Wikipedia has a detailed article on gyaru, describing different subtypes of gyaru with their clothing and makeup. In the video there are two groups of gyaru designated Heisei and Reiwa. Heisei refers to the reign of the previous emperor of Japan from 1989 to 2019. Reiwa is the reign of the current emperor from 2019 to the present. Hanabie's song "Reiwa Dating Apps Generation" combines Trap music and metal.

Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yukina encourages us to all yell the "WTF!!!!!!" at live shows 😂 I think you need to stop focusing on the "story", it's just that same actor had cameos in 4 of their videos (Osaki ni Shitsureishimasu -> Tousou -> Be The GAL -> Girls Talk).. so we can sort of read between the lines a bit and make up our own story about him As for all the other girls at the party in this song, I don't think any of the them are especially famous.. just standard Japanese girls they were able to get for the video shoot But this song does have a meaning with the sets of girls. The first set of girls we see at the pool at "Reiwa era" girls. Japan is currently in the Reiwa era and it started in 2019 so you could say they are standard modern girls The second set of girls that arrive on the scene are Heisei era girls (which spans 1989 to 2019).. so it's like a generational battle that ends in friendship and all partying together. The Heisei girls are also in Gyaru (or even Ganguro) style fashion.. at the time rebelling against the ideal woman stereotypes in Japan by using heavy fake tans and bright colours and so on

W vid as always Jez, such a wild song🔥💙

Cool reaction. Wait until you get into some of their older stuff, it is pretty good - songs like Envy, Ghost Mania, Our 7 Days War. If you like gaming give Neet Game a whirl.

There's necessity in both mediums. For example let's say inflation just kicked you in the ass yet again and eating just became even more expensive with no work raise in sight and now something has to be trimmed from the budget for a bit. Wifi gets the axe. You'll be damned glad you still have that pile of dvds/blurays you held onto. Always keep some physical media around. Granted I keep mine in one of those cd/dvd binders, no jewel cases. I freaking love technology and marvel at it often, but know at the same time I will always, always own a physical AM/FM radio. Some things you just hold onto, no matter the advances.

If you want more rap elements from them, try their song 'Reiwa Dating Apps Generation.' Yukina and Matsuri both have parts in it.

Cool reaction man. If you are going to explore Hanabie, strap yourself in for the ride.

I agree with the comments. You gotta check out be the gal early summer next Oh and you shoukd definitely check out Crow by upiko too. And Haze. Haze is a type of punk band. Haze/ギャルガル / Official Music Video this one for example is great. Its just confusing with the titles on youtube cuz they all japanese. And ano is great too. Her first take thingy with lilas ikuta ..its called ZeZeZeZettai Seiiki

Damn its_your_mother here. I'll definitely be watching you

Video games, music, and movies are nothing, son! That's just entertainment! Still important, but there are good things about digital copies, like convenience, less manufacturering and less waste. Unfortunately none of those were reasons why they did it. Digital just meams more profit for them! Spotify, Facebook, Tik Tok, KZfaq and white supremacist and Porn ad Twitter 2.0, do not even produce an actual product. I believe Bruce Willis tried to leave his 10,000+(?) ITunes library to his kids in his will. Apple said NOPE, you don't own that shet! What's evem more scary is that present and future gens may not be able to even own their own physical homes! Now we're talking life! This already is and will continue to get worse, making the middle class shrink even more! Owning a home or property and giving it to their children after death is a form of generational wealth and was the way most families achieved higher income status. If your grandfather was white, he most likely could have gotten a loan and paid for home on a single income, working at a department store with a stay at home wife. But, your grandpa was not white. Or least one of your grandparents wasn't I'm assuming, which would've had the same result anyway. Which was that most Banks would not lend money to black people for homes or businesses. It was called redlining and was only made illegal after the Civil Rights Movemnet! And get this! In a effort to boost the military for the Vietnam War, serviceman were promised the G.I. Bill, which either paid for a home loan or college tuition if they served in the war. Guess which group of people didn't get either of those choices? While this happened in what seems to be a long time ago, it truly wasn't long enough to not still see it's repercussions. Sorry for the long response, but it all falls under what we are in now, late stage capitalism. And you can't discuss US capitalism without racism. Those two beotches worked together making it systemic! Why TF do you think we are the ONLY developed country in the entire world to not provide healthcare to all of its citizens ? Racism and Capitalism (for profit)!

My favorite song by them as of rn, the solo was fire. W quality upload by the goat

❤❤❤🎉

Can hardly hear the music.

The main story is them living in the digital world. They say IRL - adios. They are online gamers. There are lots of references to gaming. But, also online music and life. You can turn on captions. Then you understand better. There is another video/song with the same theme, there they are gaming and also are game characters. Its called NEET game. NEET means "Not in Education, Employment or Training", i.e. just gaming and chilling online. Now, to be fair. They are hard working girls. Need to be that to come so far in such a short time.
