Yes, I can imagine that. But ... as a reactor and listener to RUclips videos the Hanabie MV are much better than the live videos. The MV are well made, have stellar audio and also have a message that is totally lost in a live video. Sorry, but Hanabie have to get better at making live videos. This happened with Nemophila. Their first live videos were crap. But now they are fantastic. But still, funny bands like Hanabie, Maximum the Hormone and Electric Callboy always lose a dimension live. The MV always have information that is lost live.
Glad you checked them out, they are so much fun. My favorite is "Envy", but you really can't go wrong with any any of their songs. You should also check out Maximum the Hormone song SHIMI feat. ATARASHII GAKKO, it's so good
I think 7 Days War might be their best song, and it's completely underrated. There isn't a video for it, but I would love for you to react to it. Other good ones are Reiwa Dating Apps Generation, Pardon Me, and Go Now, and Be the Gal. To be honest, you can pick any one of their songs. Their songs are also very diverse. They do all kinds of different things.
Hanabi = fireworks (literally "fire flowers"). Hanabie = cold spring weather (literally "frozen flowers"). It's alluding to when there's a late spring chill, after the cherry blossoms have bloomed, and you get frost on the flowers.
Hanabie started out as a Maximum The Hormone cover band(worth checking out, they inspired a lot of current Japanese metal bands). Also second the guy down below recommending Broken by the Scream.
Now you've found Band Maid, Lovebites, Hanabie, only all female band that is popular on Internet not yet to be discoverd by you is Nemophila, I guess, although there is other my favoraite bands along with these bands. I think you will love Nemophila too.
i saw them live for the first time in July and it was the best concert i've ever been. They're so energetic and their shows are crazy. there's a band called kokeshi that i love. check out their song "into my darkness (ft deepa)" :D
@@JohnnyReacts1 Yeah, I second giving _Broken by the Scream_ a try. Unlike Hababie, Broken by the Scream is actually an idol group. So more like Babymetal in that sense, but with a much smaller budget and nothing like Su's clean vocals. But they make up for it with their amazing harsh vocals! And while the musicians are not quite Kami band level, they are not that far off. Very skilled on their instruments, and playing some surprisingly progressive, almost jazzy, metal. But please keep going with Hanabie as well! Saw them live a few months ago, and the girls are a blast on stage. And off stage, I guess, because Yukina often crowd surfs, and Hettsu has a habit of actually coming down and _playing bass while walking among the crowd!_
Love these ladies. They are known for genre flips, time changes, transitions and some very heavy riffs, Yukina's growls and very creative song writing. Dive deeper, they have some bangers. You need to check out Nemophila as well. The Japanese metal/rock scene is incredible with a deep pool of talented bands and musicians.
Thank you for reacting to HANABIE.🥰 Pls also check out their songs "Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now" and "OTAKU Lovely Densetsu". Another recommendation is “GROUNDSWELL” by the Japanese Electronicore girl group "PassCode". These songs are mind-blowing🔥
Hanabie really likes having fun with their music they have made music about video games anime summer time their newest one is about being a superhero they do have a couple more serious songs but most of them are just about fun topics. Also Japan has a movement with bands thats called visual kei where they dress up all kinds of ways there are visual kei bands outside of Japan but it's nowhere near as many it's mostly a Japanese thing
Jump ahead four years and watch tbeir latest video, GIRL’S TALK. Punk Rock bands, male and female, have been making songs about things that affect them for 50 years. The all female, Osaka-based hard-core band OTOBOKE BEAVER also have a great sense of humor, but they write songs about more serious subjects. You can usually find transliterated and translated lyrics in the description section of their videos. I fiinally had a chance to see them live a few months ago. It was the best night I’ve had in a long time.
Hanabie are never quite what people are expecting. However, that face you made was just what I was expecting from you ---> Ok copy/pasta for new reactors Welcome to Harajuku-core! Hanabie (ha-na-be-eh) named their music style after the famous Harajuku district that inspires their look and sound. It is famous for its street fashion, shopping, and youthful culture. As you heard, Harajukucore is an energetic mix of metal, electronic, rock, punk, rap, pop, and even traditional instruments. Their visual style is also very influenced by the flamboyant _gyaru_ (gal) styles. *Matsuri* (Gt. & Vo.), *Yukina* (Harsh Vo.), *Hettsu* (Bass & Vo.) all started out in an after-school club playing Maximum the Hormone covers. Over the years they have had several drummers including *Sae,* seen here in this video. *Chika* is their current drummer. They have a lot of songs about serious subjects, but always deliver that message in an entertaining way. Here's a few song recommendations for you - 'Be the GAL - early summer ver.', 'NEET GAME', 'Envy', 'Reiwa Dating Apps Generation', 'Tousou' (run away), and 'LOVE Ranbu' which is audio only. Thanks for checking out this amazing band.
*Hanabie* are one of the current *awesome* all-female Metal bands from Japan (LOVEBITES, Nemophila, Hanabie, HÀGANE). They all bring so much joy, creativity, surprises and energy! *Hanabie* have the unique approach to address typical Japanese everyday life issues: Sugar addiction & cuteness ("We love sweets"), sexual harrassment & unpaid overtime at work ("Pardon me, I have to go now"), the shallow everyday life in the Japanese upper class ("Girls' Talk") the love dreams put into online dating ("REIWA Dating Apps generation"), and so on. I have no personal "favourite" song from them. I appreciate most of theirs. DE/GER
Hanabie have a video out called "The right way to say Hanabie" Its a bit of fun but lets you know how the Japanese pronounce it. The band has their own style of fashion and music. Fans have named it "harajukucore". This is taken from the ladies home in Tokyo, the prefecture of Harajuku. They are currently touring the world and are awesome live. The other big metal/rock band is Nemophila and their singer also has a great scream as well as a singing raspy voice. Oiran (Evolution version) is a great way to check them out. Hanabie have been great even from the start but had some personell changes having had 3 drummers leave for various reasons (on good terms) with the other 3 girls having been together since school so they are pretty tight. The new drummer Chika is a beast live.
Nice ... very good reaction The point of this song is NOT to eat too much sugar ☝️😅 Hanabie has amazing lyrics and many positive songs 🌸🇯🇵 Our 7 day war without musicvideo is a masterpiece .. u should check it out 🤘 And u nailed it ... japan doesn't care about the genre metal .. they do what they want, and I love it absolutely Japan is a metal hotspot 🫶🌸 I just went to the east to listen to metal 😂😂 But they are one of the famous bands out of Japan Let me introduce you: Passcode - Freely Shingeki - Inferno Maze - Silent witness Broken by the Scream - Rising Sun
This song is always a good intro, but a few reviews complain as not everyone appreciates the Bassist part. This is quite old now, there is a bunch of good songs in between (don't miss Warning, Love Ranbu and Sunrise Miso Soup, which are really some of their best stuff but don't appeal to the record company so much to make an MV), but check out Otaku Lovely Densetsu which is where they are in 2024, they are really great. And if you don't hate the chaos side, try Paledusk (ready to die for my friends and black ice)
花冷え = はなびえ = ha na bi e Although there musicality is different, I believe that we are similar to BABYMETAL in that we are Japanese and can only be created in Japan. 楽しんでください！ 😊
You're in Japan, right? Or were? 花冷え (Hanabie) the えat the end is pronounced Eh, as in error. The definition is literally "cold flower", but can be used to mean chilly weather. The significance of the band name is that the original 4 members were all born in Spring time. Add English lyrics : The lyrics were added in the description. Their style is derived from Harajuku, a Tokyo area known for young adult fashion. Usually showing off outlandish colors, pastels, and kawaii esthetics. Thus they call their music Harajukucore. A mix of Harajuku culture and Metalcore. They formed in high school as a Maximum The Hormone cover band. I'll be seeing them for my third time, 2018 in Tokyo, last year in Austin Texas, and tomorrow in San Antonio Texas.., for my birthday😁
Totally agree on the pronunciation of Hanabie (EH and no YAY nonsense), but please let us correct you on the meaning of the name. Hanabie marks a return of frosty weather in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. You're right about it having something to do with birthdays. However, Yukina is the only one who has a birthday in spring (April 17th), the remaining original members all have birthdays in December (Matsuri December 27th - Hettsu December 26th - original drummer Kaede also in December, we don't know the day). So it's winter with its frosty temperatures that meets spring.
Live they are absolutely amazing! The energy they have it's off the charts!! I'm not a big fan of harsh vocals, so some of their songs do not really do it for me (like this one 😆) even though live i liked all their songs! Their most successful song by far is "Pardon Me, I have to go now" and it's also my favourite ahahah
I don't care much about genders. The very important thing is to don't let that stuff going in your way, when you judge a band or a song. Even back in the days with the traditional metal band there were always female lead metal bands. (Warlock or something like this) who were fully accepted in the metal community, in a male dominated environment. When you reacted to Electric Callboy and Babymetal I did not know about Hanabie. I discovered them around three month ago and instantly liked their style and saw their talent, even I was not so convinced about the song to what I were actually listening to. These girls are really talented. One of their best songs is Otaku lovely densetsu, and "Pardon me, I have to go now" is just great piece of music. Regarding to traditional western metal bands. Imho, a lot of them (but not all) got too lazy. They are keep trying the risk low and therefore produce over and over again the same songs. I appreciate when bands take a risk and try something new. Sometime it works out , sometimes it won't. But I give credit to these bands.
This really needs to be the official introductory song for this band. I love watching people at the start as you see their faces go from "oh boy a cutesy anime group" to "Holy ?%$^* these girls can rock hard!"
With Hanabie (Hah-Nah-Bee-Eh) you have now met the best Japanese all-female metal band. The creativity in this band is at the highest level (even the outfits are bassist Hettsu's own creations). You should watch the music video for L.C.G (Lollypop Candy Girl) next, which is the first song where Hanabie mixed many different styles together. It has many different vocal styles from Yukina and a very nice singing part from Matsuri. But if you would rather hear something new from Hanabie, then we recommend Otaku Lovely Densetsu, where the band members are also introduced.
These days I tend to find metal (and rock in general) bands who look metal, and who try to look tough and dangerous, rather silly. Maybe because I'm 56 and not 16. Most of these Japanese all female bands, on the other hand, look cool and maybe even tough because they don't try to look tough. They look comfortable and self-confident. I don't remember if you've reacted to East of Eden yet, but if you check out their latest video, "Cross Roads", singer Akane and violinist Ayasa look extremely elegant and beautiful in their dresses -- and cool. Bassist Wakazaemon goes for a different style, though. She's amazing.
Hanabie has very interesting costumes, their design is done by bassist Hetsu. They change them in every tour and video. Very interesting fashion, such a combination of bright colors. I recommend listening【花冷え。】 - GIRL'S TALK - Music Video 【HANABIE.】
@@Olkam-w5u Yes, I'm a big fan of Hanabie's, I've followed them since their first video dropped on RUclips. Everybody's raving about Yukina, but I think Matsuri is their secret weapon -- her vocals are beautiful, her voice paired with Yukina's makes the band's sound unique. A friend of mine saw them live in Stockholm and Copenhagen this past summer, and even got to meet them -- I'd lie if I said I'm not jealous ... (But I'd be even more jealous if it was Band-Maid, which is my favotite band.)
@@piddeandersson4628 Yes, especially considering that Matsuri composes all the music and Yukina composes the lyrics. Matsuri is a smart girl, from a family of musicians However, you and I have similar tastes, I subscribe to BM and Hanabie )
@@Olkam-w5u I follow a whole bunch of Japanese bands -- Lovebites, Trident, Nemophila, East of Eden, Hagane, and several more -- plus BM and Hanabie, of course. Mellows is quickly becoming a new favorite band (while I've found Nemophila's last few songs rather disappointing).
Masters of changing tempo styles genres in Japan: MAXIMUM THE HORMONE
They absolutely kill it live, they have so much energy on stage.
Just saw them live for the first time a couple days ago. Most fun I've had at a show in years.
and some how, the her harsh vocals are even gnarlier live lol
Yes, I can imagine that. But ... as a reactor and listener to RUclips videos the Hanabie MV are much better than the live videos.

You picked the perfect song to start with
Rock and metal aren't dead. They just moved to Japan! ❤
Glad you checked them out, they are so much fun. My favorite is "Envy", but you really can't go wrong with any any of their songs.
You should also check out Maximum the Hormone song SHIMI feat. ATARASHII GAKKO, it's so good
Envy is also my favorite.
You are in for a treat, this band has no bad songs and is incredible live.
I think 7 Days War might be their best song, and it's completely underrated. There isn't a video for it, but I would love for you to react to it. Other good ones are Reiwa Dating Apps Generation, Pardon Me, and Go Now, and Be the Gal. To be honest, you can pick any one of their songs. Their songs are also very diverse. They do all kinds of different things.
7 days war ... holy
Masterpiece for me
Emotional and heavy
Awesome lyrics

Incredibly talented metal band. So many amazing songs. May I recommend Reiwa Dating apps generation.

there's a band called kokeshi that i love. check out their song "into my darkness (ft deepa)" :D
Brilliant reaction. Haven't seen another person describe it so well like you said at around 5:00; very insightful and spot on. Have a subscription.
Many thanks!

Many thanks for your comment!!!
Oh, and to pronounce their name. Since you live in Japan, imagine a Canadian saying "fireworks" is japanese. "Hanabi-eh"
Thank you!
You must check another song from Hanabie, I recommended next song, Hanabie - 7 Days War, this really good Yukina Scream
You're in Japan, right? Or were? 花冷え (Hanabie) the えat the end is pronounced Eh, as in error. The definition is literally "cold flower", but can be used to mean chilly weather. The significance of the band name is that the original 4 members were all born in Spring time.
