I promise to get better at pronouncing Japanese bands and names! But since I’m here, what’s a word you have a hard time pronouncing?
The word No

Lol
The 'ch' in Gacharic is like 'char,' not 'car' :0) Really enjoying your journey down what has become the J-metal/rock wormhole. It is a very Deep and Wondrous fall. You have (fortunately) only scratched the surface. Suggestions for the _Deep Dive:_ *Hanabie* - *_We Love Sweets_* ruclips.net/video/G18yyvPCiTM/видео.html , *Unlcky Morpheus* - *_Dignity of Spirit_* LIVE , ruclips.net/video/x7W9DcUKY_U/видео.html, *Nemophila* - *_Dissension_* ruclips.net/video/26aMuahxz8c/видео.html (w/CC) , *Trident* - *_Cry Out_* ruclips.net/video/OCgr08Q7A6c/видео.html (w/CC) And of course more Lovebites, Band Maid, and Gacharic Spin.

Band maid is good but Gacharic Spin is on a whole other level . you never know what to expect with them . they all can sing and all so amazingly talented with their instruments. And they are just as amazing and energetic live. You definitely need to watch a live performance . i would suggest I Wish I live performance.
I can attest that they are an excellent live band, fine entertainers as well as musicians, with a great sense of humor that comes across in their lyrics as well as performances (on and off the bandstand), a mix of wry and ridiculous, distinctively Japanese and not unique to GS but they exemplify it so well. I saw Chopper Koga at Nemophila's recent Budokan concert, pretty sure I saw Tomo-zo too. Btw, Oreo Reona likes the Peanuts from Mothra.
They are beautifully organized chaos! I love F Chopper Koga, (bass player). She is one of my most favorite bassist. I am so lucky that I will in be Japan last two weeks of April and get to see them live! I am so blessed! This bands stage shows are very High Energy and so very entertaining.
Hey Nit Pic... I absolutely love these ladies. Angie, the front woman today is a fairly new addition to the band. The original was Ashetome Tahae (Arrmy when with the Band), who passed away kind of suddenly. If you can find her version of "Broken Lover," then compare it to Angie's version, you may agree that some of Arrmy must have been absorbed by Angie. The energy and stage presence are fabulous. Please try to find Arrmy singing, she had a great voice.
You do EXCELLENT reviews and reactions - and I just got the "nit-pick" pun - so 😞 in myself!
These girls are one of the finest bands in Japan, they are so original and talented!!
Their drummer at the time (Yuri) was not available for this video due to maternity leave, so Hana, their former drummer and one of their current guitarists took over drum duties temporarily.
The girl with the pink hair (Angelina 1/3) is 19 years old in this video (she was recruited at 17, when she was discovered at a school festival).
Please check out their full line up live, it's quite an experience:
Gacharic Spin, "Tamashii": ruclips.net/video/Jt7-GGRa3nc/видео.htmlsi=agBdBnu8hxd25BqA
It would also be great if you could check out their side project called Doll$Boxx... great too.
Doll$Boxx, "Shout Down": ruclips.net/video/SpI4ZI71oXY/видео.htmlsi=aKtm87BEJtuL3p1c
I Wish I is an example of Gacharic Spin being a bit more intense.
The bassist doing work here is F Chopper Koga and yes, that IS an awesome name.
this was the music I suggested for NiccPicc. But I know that MindSet is more popular.
The way she says "Cho pa" is absolutely adorable, too.
If you haven't done a video on Hanabie, you should!! I think you'd love them too!
I remember the first time I saw this video, I was blown away. Oh by the way, I love your comentary and breakdowns. You are alot of fun, and interesting. You are unique. I would love to hear, and see your reaction to " I Wish I " by Gacharic Spin.
あなたのリアクションは最高です！
These ladies are phenomenal, you have to check out a live performance from them, Tamashii is a favorite of mine. Also I’d like to suggest East of Eden-Evolve.
Pick any other song by Gacharic spin and you will be blown away by styles. They play funk, progressive, rock, metal and everything else.
Try "replica" or "I wish I"
Totally a fun dance song.
ruclips.net/video/MFlrOAQsf2Q/видео.htmlsi=gAaNRV06CKr2rgb-
Redline and Music Battler are also great
@@moscatodasti1 The whole "Delicious" live concert. I can (and do) watch it over and over again.
Now you really need to check out their video for "I Wish I"! in parts, you wouldn't believe it's the same band as this but it's such an amazing song!
This is wonderful.❤❤❤♪♪♪🎉
If you loved this, I highly suggest Kachi Kachi Yama by them as well. It is their second best song after this one.
I like this video, but you need to watch their live performance
I discovered them about 4 years ago. I saw them Live last summer at the Anime Matsuri Con in Houston last August.. I stood in the 2nd Row, and I got a CD, DVD, and a cool T shirt. They are in my Top Three of J-Rock/Metal bands (out of dozens I listen to). The other 2 are Lovebites, and Unlucky Morpheus. Fun Fact: Unlucky Morpheus' actual name in Japanese is 'Ankimo' (means Monkfish Liver😆). They actually got Unlucky Morpheus by sounding out the Kanji for Monkfish Liver and the closest Anglicization was Unlucky Morpheus. I had a great year - Saw Band Maid in Oct of 22, Nemophila in March '23, Hanabie in July '23, and Gacharic Spin in August '23. Not many years do you get to check 4 'must see' bands off your Bucket List.
I think your reaction sums it up. They are so intense on so many levels. And they have been since their earlier days with their first singer that passed away to the current stuff. They are musical geniuses. Music theory they pull off is wiiiiild. And the bassist (one of my personal favorites), that is so fucking hard to do physically what she does. Love them, love them, love them.
nice reaction. I like very much their well organized chaos which is beautifully crazy. greetings from Japan.
Glad you enjoyed them! They're really fun and talented bunch, and it's definitely worth checking more of them, whether it would be their latest single Let It Beat, one of their signature songs Sekira Liar or a moodier single from the same album (as Mindset) I wish I.
Also did the drummer caught your eye? 😏
Funk to the max!. Good job NittPicc!. Gacharic Spin is one of the most original and daring bands on the Japanese music scene. They are tremendously original and are not afraid of anything. Their live shows are a prodigy of energy and fun.
Your reaction is so cute!!
And your analysis is also great, so please feel free to respond to this band's diverse songs (their sound is so wide that there are no genres). looking forward to it! !
Another Great song by Gacharic Spin is " I WISH I " MV =) This is such a fun band stick with em !
Serious BOP indeed!!! I second this.
I'm surprised that Aldious hasn't popped up yet.
It’s coming!
@@NittPicc hope you enjoy 😊
I got into them when they were an amazing 4pc rock band. Sadly the singer Arrmy died of a heart disease at a very young age , and to me, they have never been as good. I will try to find some old live footage and place here.
As a four pc they were amazing . Whole concert here but Broken Lover at 56 min and the encore song will show you the raw power they delivered live. Definately one of my fave J-rock bands at the time. ruclips.net/video/V8kHwvxzYow/видео.html
Love them 👍😁
If you love this, make sure you listen to Kachi Kachi Yama! Holy hell!
I heard of gacharic spin but never listened to them until last month there amazing you should listen to more
BTW: Congratulations 10k subs!
I love to see people falling in love with Hana in real time
Please check out some live videos from GS. They are one of the most fun live bands ever
Angelina 1/3 wore a black wig for half the video to cover up her natural pink hair ;) hehe
No way! I thought she was cutting her own black hair in the video 😦, and then rip it off at 7:30, let her hair grow again, dye it pink, continue recording, and edited that transition 🤯
The fact that you kept getting 'distracted' by the song and forgot to comment is a complement to how good these ladies are. Great breakdown and reaction. There is so much great music coming out of Asia right now. For another fun recommendation I would suggest Polkadot Stingray. Free or Jet would be good options.
That's it, I'm moving to Japan.
YEEEAAAAAH
To quote some of what you said:
Aah I like the drummer giggle - We all do 🥰
The bass was blissfully abused - That can be said for every GS-Song 🤠
The keyboard players outfit (chuckle) - You ain’t seen nothing yet 😄
The well planned and extensively organized section - We all experienced our very personal short-circuit to that section 😉
Small nuances to keep the listener engaged - Yeah, that it their MO 😁
All japanese bands have their character, but GS is sitting on top of Mount Olympus regarding genre bending
Can't wait for your next reaction to GS
These ladies are all over the place in the best way possible. Years of struggling and keeping the dream alive, it's great that they are finally reaching more than their original niche audience.
Check out Dollsbox, same musicians with a different (and also great) vocalist
Sometimes I think there is more musical creative awesomeness in Japan right now than the rest of the world put together.
I discovered Gacharic Spin in early 2015 not long after I discovered Babymetal and BiS an alternative idol group and I researched them like I do any new music group I come across because I want to know what makes them tick I went back and listen to all of their early material with their original vocalist Armmy before she had left and everything afterwards to this day they remain one of my top favorite Japanese bands you never know what you're going to get from one song to the next I love that about them you would never find a band like them in the US but thankfully in the past year and a half Japanese music has been gaining ground in America with more Japanese artists touring America than ever before
Welcome to the marvellous musical chaos of Gacharic Spin (ch as in chick), Strap in and enjoy the ride. Expect the unexpected. Their line-up has changed several times, but in this video we see Angelina 1/3 (a.k.a. Angie) on vocals, Hana on drums and vocals, Oreo on keyboards and vocals, F Chopper Koga on bass, and Tomo-zo on guitar and vocals.
So no love for the drummer , Hana? The first time I heard this song it was the drums that pulled me in (and I'm a guitarist). But I love your reaction when all you can do is smile and laugh.
GS actually has two drummers. The group mixed things up a few years ago by adding Angie and Yuri. (Yuri probably on maternity leave here) The drummer in this song(Hana) is the original group vocals / drummer. Since adding Yuri, Hana has been up front on guitar / vocals. There is one song that has both Yuri and Hana on drums. The live 2019 version of "Tamashii" is a great song. Unique in as mentioned, two drum sets playing at same time. Also has Angie and Hana on vocals. Even Oreo on keyboards is on vocals.
the formation of GS i heard goes like, Koga was in another group but was thinking about quitting the music scene. Someone mentioned to her to start her own group. She thought about it and said she would only do it if her best bud (Hana) came along. And a legend was born
Oh! the precision of Yuri and Hana on Tamashii. I love that
Since "Next Stage" from the same show is up on youtube again, I never get away with listening to just one of those two songs 😅 I love the crowd's reaction when Hana's drumkit appears🤘
"The drummer in this song(Hana) is the original group vocals"
Armmy?
@@ths_mk In case you don't know, the third song they did with 2 drummers, Gyakkyo Hero, is also on RUclips now.
Thanks for the info! @@StrappingOldLad
Their album W from last year was the first album I've bought of any band in well over a decade.
Granted, half the reason for that was to get hold of the live show that was packed into the pre-orders because their live shows are just absolutely amazing and I need access to as many of them as possible at all times. The other half is just because they are amazing and if they were to tour or play any show in this part of the world, I'd make sure to be there. But until that day, I'll just have to cope. ;D
Strangely, the pink haired lass is a recent recruit and was meant to be a 'microphone performer' - kinda hype girl for the live shows. It's something GS did for many years because their two main vocalists were stuck at the back of the stage behind drums and keys, so they needed people up front to engage with the crowd. Turns out the new hire can sing and write lyrics... The group has a long and complex history and have needed to adapt repeatedly. The current line-up is on fire and I'm sure most requests will be for more recent material, but there are some real gems lurking in their deep back catalogue. Having keyboards gives them a lot of opportunity to mess with styles most rock bands don't go near. Having multiple vocalists also adds a lot of variety and enables them to do all that layering live. Their acoustic material is sublime too and they have a few side projects. If all that wasn't enough, they also starred in a heavy metal comedy zombie flick called メタルカ (Metalca or Dead Banging in the US). I think it's still on RUclips in full - no subtitles, but the plot is suitably transparent.
This lineup is 5 years old and in my opinion is the best incarnation of GS, besides some gems here and there in the past. For example the side work with Fuki on vocals: Doll$boxx,
Their sub-band doll$boxx “take my chance” is also recommended
Thanks for getting to Gacharic Spin, another gem of the J-Rock world. I had the great pleasure of seeing them live at an outdoor ampitheater in Tokyo back in November, and I can tell you they are extremely energetic and lively on stage ! I lterally thought pink-hair Angie was going to fly off the stage, and they all were having so much fun. I am sure someone else will mention that co-founder Hana on drums in Mindset, also plays guitar and often switches instruments during a song. If you really want to see what Tomo-zo can do on guitar, Oreo on keyboards, and all the ladies on their insturments (all the while dressed in some of the craziest costumes you've ever seen) check out Gacharic Spin - Instrumental -2018 !
There are also 2 different live versions of this on their channel. The older one is the same line up as in this video. The newer one is with their regular drummer, who was out on maternity leave during the recording of this MV and the first live video. I'd suggest checking out both, as there are a few small differences between the two.
Well this an absolutely amazing band. I Wish I, Tamashii, Replica is other great songs by the band. They have hade digferent versions of the band during the years. And Live they are absolutely stunning😍 great and fun reaction😀👍
If you want to do a deeper dive, from the newer era with Angie (pink hair) on vocals, try I Wish I (live) or Replica. They had a middle era with Hana (drums) on lead, and from their try Music Battler or Generation Gap. From the early era with Armmy on vocals, Lock on or Juicy Beats. This band is fucking brilliant, and easily the most unique on the planet. This was the first song of theirs I heard, and within a month it became my most listened to on Spotify for all time. It was literally on repeat for a month hahaha
mindset is 4 minutes of beautiful chaos
This is high level music, maybe you haven't reached that yet😂
Why be a douche for no reason? Do better.
Love this band. Thank you for doing this 🤘
I saw them live last November in Tokyo. There is a live version of this song on their YT channel. and it sounds as good as MV. They gave a 2.5+ hour performance, such an energetic/powerhouse band live. I'm waiting patiently for an announcement on when they and their alter ego band Doll$box tickets will go on sale for December shows. Thanks for the reaction.
That drummer does also have one of the gnarliest false chird growl I've heard in a while. 🤘😮🤘
Nowdays, in the Nippon wave we trust🤘👌🙏❣
love that band
I discovered them way back in 2014, when Babymetal blew up. Not directly, but their side project Doll$boxx (also worth listening to, best start with Take my Chance: ruclips.net/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/видео.html) which then lead me to Gacharic Spin. And as great as GS's music videos are, you have seen nothing if haven't seen them live. Here's a great one, but to be fair, you can basically pick any random GS live video and will end up with a great one: ruclips.net/video/eEFYh3WiybA/видео.html
you are my alter ego
Request 😉: Gacharic Spin:Replica MV , Forever MV,I wish I,MV...and they have a side project same as Band Maid call:Dool$box... Nice reaction as usual 😊
My introduction to GS was a live version of "Mindset" and at the end I literally thought "WTF did I just listen to?" with a smile as big as yours. The solo reminded me of the short-lived jazz/rock fusion genre that was popular in the 70's. The energy of this band live is off the charts. "Organized chaos" has been used by more than one reviewer of GS for as one put it..."it flows". All of these women are extremely talented and somehow they can put a variety of genres into their music writing blender and make it work but a lot is slap bass driven in which F Chopper Koga is a master. I would recommend the following for something that is a bit different. You can copy and paste this into RUclips search: *Gacharic Spin - I wish I (Official Live Video) in 豊洲PIT (Lyrics in English)*
Hope you’re enjoying your J-rock, J-Metal journey. A suggestion for you would be Broken By The Scream, “sayonara birthday”, “emotion cross counter”, or “Tokyo ride, live from Tokyo” would be some songs to start with.
Prior to 2020, the only Japanese bands I listened to regularly was Maximum The Hormone and SIGH. That changed when I discovered Band-Maid in very early 2020. In addition to Band-Maid, I have discovered other great bands like Lovebites, Nemophila, Hanabie, Gacharic Spin, Unlucky Morpheus, Asterism and others. Of all the members of these bands, three are on a level of their own due to a combination of musicianship and songwriting - Kanami of Band-Maid (world-class guitarist and a generational composer), Miyako of Lovebites (world-class guitarist and pianist and up there with Kanami as a composer) and Hana of Gacharic Spin (I consider her the Dave Grohl of Japan because she is a tremendous multi instrumentalist, great vocalist who can do harsh as well as clean, and gifted songwriter).
As far as MindSet, it belongs on every list of the best songs of 2021, and not just in Japan.
I don't know GS's whole history, but in this video, you see five members: Angelina 1/3 on vocals, Hana on drums and vocals, F Chopper Koga on bass, Tomo-zo on guitar, and Oreo Reona on keyboards. Hana is the band's original drummer, but in 2019, the band picked up a drummer named Yuri and Hana moved to vocals and guitar. Hana still plays drums on occasion, but Yuri is the main drummer now. She wasn't in this video or their next video, "I Wish I," due to being on maternity leave.
I see someone has already recommend Doll$Boxx (simply pronounced "Doll's Box), a collaboration between Koga, Oreo, Hana, and Tomo-zo and the great Fuki, then the vocalist for Lightbringer but now the vocalist for a metal band called Unlucky Morpheus. While you absolutely should check out Doll$Boxx, I also think you should check out Unlucky Morpheus. Normally I would recommend my favorite song from them, "Unending Sorceress," but given your musical background, I think you'd appreciate "CADAVER" a bit more. Here's the link.
ruclips.net/video/_yrNRhIreyE/видео.html
10k! Congratulations! You are an awesome reactor
Band-Maid just dropped a new vid a few hours ago (Endless Story) and announced a Tokyo show with The Warning. You need to see The Warning soon!
Yes!!
I watched a Rob Zombie interview on RUclips. He was defending his endorsement of Babymetal. I checked out Babymetal. I liked it. RUclips suggested Doll$boxx, which is a side project band with the girls from Gacharic Spin and singer Fuki from Lightbringer. I watched Take My Chance, and I was instantly hooked. The Doll$boxx album Doll's Apartment is a huge f#$k you to the whole idol industry. It's a real concept album, like The Wall or Tommy. The way they shift between super kawaii outfits and the heavy metal punk rock reality of what they really are in the cinematography is awesome. I get to perv on kawaii girls while listening to hard rock and heavy metal and feeling like I'm supporting women who reject the idol industry at the same time, and I know they did that on purpose too, which is awesome, because they don't take themselves too seriously.
I enjoy reinterpreting their songs as solo performances on my harmonica.
I found Band-Maid years ago and have followed them but only recently went totally down the J Rock rabbit hole, my goodness so many great bands past and present, Nemophila, Band-Maid, Lovebites, SHOW-YA, X Japan, Luna Sea, Mary’s Blood , Aldious, Destrose, and more are worth time spent on RUclips, but Gacharic Spin have become my favorite! They are all super talented and creative musically and performance wise, always engaging in multiple ways, if you check out some more by them I would recommend some earlier tracks to really appreciate their love and dedication to music ( especially band leader bassist F Chopper Koga I am so grateful to her for this wonderful band) I will suggest you check out “Lock On”. ( First anniversary live with original singer Armmy, sadly she left due to health problems and passed away) in 2015, also “Hunting Summer”from 2014 , their side project Doll$Boxx “Take my Chance” , live performances are always great and their MV rock too, other great tracks are “Winner” and “Lost Angel”

Sugoi! So glad you're getting to these other great Japanese bands!!
Arigatou! 🤘🤘
You are getting a bunch of recommendations for DOLL$BOXX and YES! By all means react to DOLL$BOXX, but first! You need to listen to Unlucky Morpheus. I suggest CADAVER/REVADAC. They play the first song CADAVER, the play it backwards, note for note, REVADAC. The reason for this is the singer for Unlucky Morpheus, Fuki, did a side project with Gacharic Spin and that group is called DOLL$BOXX. For DOLL$BOXX I suggest, Take My Chance.
Oh, btw, Unlucky Morpheus has a heavy metal violinist named Jill. And she is awesome! She does covers of Van Halen, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen.
🤘😃🤘
Ah, you finally discovered the... Brazilian Jutsu!
Yes!!!! Gacharic spin rocks!!! Koga is definitely one of my top 3 favorite bassists of all time. Her sound, her attitude and showmanship are just electric. The rest of the band members are not far behind. Hana is a musical genius. Oreo is a tornado of energy. Tomo is a superb guitarrist with a super unique fashion style and a permanent mile. And Angie 1/3 fit the already established group super well with her voice and energy. Yuri is not in the video but she is also worth noting as she is also another perfect piece of Gacharic Spin. They're all just a joy to watch perform. They're one of the most entertaining bands to watch live videos of. They're just super whacky and fun. Please check out both live versions of Hunting Summer live at some point. There's an older version and a newer version, and both are incredibly unique and fun to watch.
Edit: just had to add more stuff lol.
Edit II: Had mooore stuff to say.😅
They are an absolute blast live. Pure fun. I'm hoping to go back to Japan in December to see them and their other project Doll$Boxx together.
Lol, my friend called this controlled chaos. They kill this live too.
They got the live version of that song, you can compare her voice between the MV version & live version.
Co-founders F-CHOPPER KOGA (Ba) and HANA (Dr. Vo.), established the first GACHAPIN lineup, which has morphed over the years, along with their evolving music. Later, OREO LEONA (Key. Vo.), was brought on board to replace the original front woman, ARMMY (RIP). Because the twin vocalists were trapped behind their instruments, two young dancers jointed to add a dynamic element to their stage show. They eventually added pink-haired, teenage ANGELINA 1/3, as a youthful hype woman, who as it turned out, is the best among their line up of three lead vocalists. Most recently, drummer YURI was brought onboard, enabling HANA to stand at the front of the stage, singing and playing lead guitar alongside TOMO-ZO.
*REONA 😉
@@ulfheroldjensen Yes. In Japanese it's spelled オレオレオナ.
What genre is Gacharic Spin? All of them.... all of them...
Ghacaric spin forever 🔥
After watching you react to Band-maid, Nemophila, Hanabie and now Gacharic Spin, You've gained a new subscriber!! More of these bands please!
I just like saying F Chopper Koga.
The one thing you have to know about Gacharic Spin is never judge them by one (or two) songs. While they have a specific sound, they very much play whatever they want never sticking with one genre or style.
So glad to see you tackle GS! Incredible band. No one else like them. If I may offer a suggestion, I think you'd *love* their live version of NANMAIDA!
Excellent reaction with insightful comments about what the musicians are doing to create this srt!
As well as their genre-blending, Gacharic Spin are known for their flamboyant live performances, so I suggest this live video of I Wish I: ruclips.net/video/nhFse5ZBlLo/видео.html
or this mad performance of an older song - Hunting Summer: ruclips.net/video/tRHkselRptI/видео.html
You should listen to VOB Voice of Baceprot, three Girls from Indonesia. So good, Trust me. 🤟✊💀
ey gacharic spin gettin some love! i'm lovin it, great analysis...
GS is definately one of the most interesting band in Japan. If you like Faith No More, then GS is perfect for you!
Flautist
Both "flutist" and "flautist" are correct! Lol. I should know! 😄
You must be American? In American I believe flutist is correct. But in English Flautist is correct. from the Italian language word for flute (flauto).@@NittPicc
The word flutists actually predates the use of flautist in English by 2 centuries. The word flutist is older than the USA.
This is correct! This is why I say flutist since I learned American English. The only time I use “Flauta” is when I am speaking Spanish with my family.
Great reaction! Since I can never again listen to Mindset for the first time, I am addicted to first-time reactions! In my 50+ years of listening to music, Gacharic Spin is by far the most talented and creative band I have ever heard. They have a breadth of musical styles and a depth of artistic engagement which is absolutely incredible. The essence of Gacharic Spin is not the style but the energy. If you have an interest in funk and fusion they will captivate you body, heart and soul. They have 100+ brilliant songs, here is just a few: Lock on! (original MV), Sekira Liar (MV), I wish I (MV), Arbus no Shojo (MV), Hunting Summer (live from 7th Anniversary), Replica (MV), Across the now! (live from 2014), Broken lover (live from 1st Anniversary), Come up Chapter (live from 2023) ...ok I will stop now.
Thanks for Hanabie and Gacharic Spin reactions. I was as a suggest-er, for both. And I'm very glad you've enjoyed! You never get to re-live your first moment of delight at a really great new band, but it's fun to see someone else have that experience.
By the way, BAND-MAID is every bit as amazing live, as they've appeared in the videos you've checked out. I got to catch them last summer.
And I hope you'll check out Maximum the Hormone someday, too. They are direct inspirations for members of BAND-MAID, Nemophila and (most of all) Hanabie. "Yoshu Fukushu" is a great front door for them. And, it's a work of art.
Japan is so different from America in the way the music industry is structured in Japan bands are allowed to do what they want where in America the music industry is very structured and most artists songwriters and producers are searching for that next top 40 hit in the mainstream The American music industry is more of a money grab than anything else
In my opinion they're the best rock band around today! Fantastic musicians, song writers and performers. You should check them out live.
I found out about Gacharic Spin when they did their Doll$Boxx project. The song "Take my chance". After that? Sold.
“GACHA,” like “Cha-ch.” This one might just blow your mind: REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY and THE COME UP CHAPTER, live in 2023 - ruclips.net/video/eEFYh3WiybA/видео.html
My morning is made, thanks NittPicc! I have a hard time with "stamina" because I started saying "stanima" as a joke and now I can't stop even when I want to. Did it in a meeting the other day and got some funny looks. I found Gacharic Spin shortly after Band-Maid and I think that's been about three years of musical bliss. The musicians of Japan inspired me to get out of a five year funk and get back to work on my career and life. I owe them everything really. People like NittPicc sharing the journey just make it better. Thanks again!
Very nice first reaction to Gacharic Spin :)
I also recommend "I wish I" as a follow up (same album as Mindset - 2021) though I would go for the official live version from Toyosu PIT to get some live experience with the band and it also has English subs included
The great thing about this band is you'll never pin down what you expect to hear from them - I discovered them in 2021 and have listened every day since...Enjoy!
What you said at the end there mirrors my own experience of discovering the Japanese scene, and I think the memory of that experience is a big part of why so many people watch reactions to these bands. I also use reactions to discover new bands but I'm not above a bit of nostalgia!
Like you it started with Band-Maid for me and I think I'd heard most of their discography before I started trying other bands, and then it really snowballed. It was months before I discovered Gacharic Spin, but they have gradually become one of my favourite bands. I'm not particularly into funk, and I'm definitely not into electronic sounds (which they use heavily in a lot of their other songs), but Gacharic Spin do it differently from anybody else I've heard, with a lot of complexity but also a lot of passion. What impresses me most is that they are still getting more and more creative in their 15th year. They're the first Japanese band that I fell in love with because of music they've made *after* I discovered them.
Oh hey, just thought I'd mention it since you like to point out what's going on in the music (which is great!), but it sounds like you're downmixing it to mono? That can make stuff disappear in the mix, so people might have trouble hearing the things you're highlighting sometimes. Just in case it's not intentional! (I know y'all have your tricks to avoid troubles)
I got this comment before. I think I fixed the problem? I was originally recording all of it on a single track. Unfortunately a few of my scheduled videos are coming out still like this, but all future videos will be fixed (hopefully). 😊🤞🏽 Lol
@@NittPicc ah yeah that'll probably do it! No worries it's not a big deal, I had noticed it feeling a little "empty" but I twigged when a stereo panning bit... didn't. Also later I thought you started singing along, but it was just a backing vocal coming through extra loud lol
