In this video Canadian Guitarist/producer Dean Wolfe reacts to Mindset by Gacharic Spin from Japan.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I'm Dean Wolfe, a mostly self-taught Canadian guitarist/composer/multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer/performer. I started out as a full time musician on the road at age 17 for two years, but went part-time ever since while holding day careers including as a chef and in spiritual health care while raising a family.
I've recorded hundreds of my own songs- many being used in media and award winning documentaries etc. I've been in several bands including a prog/jazz fusion act nFuze, performing in International Jazz festivals and jazz clubs. I abandoned the prog genre more or less back in the 1990s but have returned to it now with vigour a full 30 years later- so much prog I've ignored and quite frankly didn't have any idea about. My own prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i detoured into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar and ambient electric as well).

The drummer is my favorite too. You never know what she is going to do, drums, vocals, guitar, horns. Her versatility makes her more interesting.
She plays bass as well, before she founded GS with Koga she was the bassist in The Spade Six, a blues rock band who were also great. IIRC she was bassist in Armeria as well. You can see her playing keys here and there also. Oh and everything in this video ruclips.net/video/HbXmA7pvHbU/видео.html
@@nanakakitano9724 That's a fun clip. It seems a number of Japanese bands did the home instruments thing during the first round of covid lockdowns. Here is a goofy home instruments cover by the punk-pop band CHAI ruclips.net/video/cCegEz-5rZ8/видео.html
I am in love with the bassist, F Chopper Koga! Her name is even so cool. Love these ladies and yes, the tables have turned and I am loving it! Undeniable talent in this band and I love the up beat, high energy music and performance! Thank you for reacting to this video.
I actually hear some Prince here too. About what you said about the tables that turns, I often say that NOW I finally understand girls screaming during Beatlemania 😉. No favorite in Gacharic Spin, I love and respect them all so much - they're highly talented musicians, extremely great entertainers too and finding and "educate" Angie 1/3 (pink hair) to become their new "image" was a great move (they incorporated her while she was still in high school at 17, and schooled her on many instruments and singing - and at 19 now she learned quickly!).
You will also hear some Chili Peppers, here and there, in Koga's base style. Also an 80s prog fusion-Jazz outfit called Casiopea is an obvious influence (Japanese band). Also, Koga was asked what her favorite bass player was, Les Claypool.
One of my favorite bands, fantastic musicians! Hana (drummer) is incredible, she also sings lead, plays guitar and other various instruments.
Some great Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dance Gavin Dance vibes. Just a fun, energetic song and music video
Koga is my favourite, because I love my bass to be upskill and also because she very pretty ;)
Great song, nice mix of genres, Loved that piano part in the bridge, the bassist was great, loved the drummer. All very fun. Such a great band.
This band seem like such a fun group of talented people, doing great fun sounding yet impressive music.
couldn't agree with you more!!
these ladies are the true definition of AMAZING !!!! 💜💜💙💙
Hana, the drummer, is my favorite. F Chopper Koga, the bassist, is a very close second. Can't I just love them all? ;-)
Thanks Dean. I appreciate your reaction to the band, and helping to promote them to a wider audience. Though, I'm guessing, almost everyone here came specifically for this band. Still helps. Cheers!
hey thanks for recomending this wonderful song!!! @JohnTappmeyer @ThomasRotweiler @AmiWolf and many more!!!!
Me too. I love the drummer since i saw her growl in Doll$Boxx's Take My Chance video. And of course because of her look 😁
Love this track and their latest line-up - drummer Yuri (not in video) to let Hana do whatever she wants. But yes, Hana a favourite for me too.
Great reaction - wait a couple of days, then their new MV will premiere - Song is called I Wish I
I can't pick favourites with them - and even if I did, then it would change every other day ;)
Cheers
In this video you can see Hana (the original drummer of the band), a couple of years ago they hired a new drummer (Yuri), to allow Hana to play the guitar and share the front stage.
But due to Yuri's maternity leave, Hana has had to temporarily resume her drumming duties.
You can see the entire band interacting live on their 10th anniversary DVD.
P.S. I think that their new video "I wish I", features a male drummer.👍
Thanks for the reaction. Great band and musicians. For me it has early 80s jazz funk vibes but with more energy. No faves here or crushes, just appreciation for an awesome band :)
Glad your enjoying Gacharic Spin
New album out next month
I've been getting into "female" Japanese bands for a couple years now, and although for years my tastes have been hard rock/80's metal & prog rock, but I've noticed my tastes have widened quite a bit as I got older. After seeing this band name come up for awhile I didn't watch anything until recently, this was the 1st one I watched, and was blown away. The musicianship alone is astounding, but the groove hooked me. Yes, I like Hana too (the drummer), I think she's a cutie, but she's a multi-talented musician too. She played drums, guitar, keys, and I don't know what else. I find that pretty sexy too. 😁 I recommend checking out the live video of this too, equally impressive.
Happy to have another Canadian fan - im in Edmonton and probably their biggest fan in the country haha. Their live shows are pure energy ;) New single out Tues 11am EDT
me also. love this band along with a bunch of other Japanese bands as well. Don't know if many will ever play in yeg. may have to travel for some live shows.
@@Derekcstevenson I have traveled to Japan & US a couple times to see them ;) I think best we can hope for in yeg is whoever Animethon book
Great reaction Dean!
“MindSet” is definitely one of my favorite song of the year. Gacharic Spin are going to release a MV for their new song “I wish I” on August 25th.
I think my favorite member is Koga (the bassist) but Tomo-zo (the guitarist) is close second and Hana (the drummer/guitarist/and more) is also very close. I love Oreo Reona (the keyboardist) too. Well, I love them all I guess 😅
Hana made a cover of Nirvana during the pandemic, playing a bunch of instruments. It’s so fun and good.
Thanks
Hana “Smells Like Teen Spirit” ruclips.net/video/HbXmA7pvHbU/видео.html
I see a few people have already requested Gacharic Spin's new MV for "I Wish I" - I'll just join the chorus!
Definitely, definitely check out the new MV for I Wish I from these ladies. holy shit.
I like this reaction style better than your usual reaction style.
I can hear more of your thoughts by stopping the video.
I appreciate your feedback...
Glad you recognize their talent. Some of my country/classic rock/even indie bandmates don’t get it, too pop, too soft, too not English, I dunno. They’re the best for my money.
They’ve mentioned they run on 17yr old power (guitar TomoZo joined ‘09 age 20, but 15yrolds! came aboard in 2013, and they’ve had someone under 21 ever since), so I hope they still are this high energy this winter, once pink haired Angie reaches 20…. Of course, the rest can hang, despite them all soon to follow Hana beyond 35…
You mentioned Rush, I personally thinktheir title track Gold Dash is Rush-like (if they let a 17yr old rapper take them to a rave), in that it has multiple time sigs and switches, but is still singable; same album as the first song you heard with Angie & with Yuri on drums (on maternity leave for this latest vid Mindset (&whole album?, due soon? I s’pose))
But first I think you should hear their heavier reworking of their early dance tune, which did have a small (now majorly expanded) prog middle break. Juicy Beats, live 2019. Angie was about to enter her senior year of high school, and the tiny drummer Yuri is adult, around 25, about a year before starting her family… ruclips.net/video/pObpM-MNpVk/видео.html
This Basist is Ｎo.1Basist of Japan.
You're feelings on this band are similar to mine, I've been following them for years now and they just keep impressing me so much. It's not just technicality and musicianship, it's fun and unpretentious song writing with a clear focus on a great melody and beat which they build up the technicality around where appropriate.
If you're interested they've also got a video of them performing this track live on their RUclips channel. They're also releasing a new MV in 2 days for the lead track off their upcoming album. The tracks called "I Wish I" and it's nuts - keep an eye peeled for it when it drops in a few days!
Definitely one of their best songs--I haven't been able to stop listening since it was released. My Japanese isn't that great but, from what I can pick up, the songs seems to be about having to fake it to try and fit in with the different school clicks, or rather being tired of them and just go ahead and be yourself--live your life--"ikiteru no," (生きてるの) "I'm alive/living" It's all your mindset.
Don't worry Dean, I've got a soft spot for Hana too🥰 But Angie (pick hair) is a cutie too!
You should check out Ningen Isu's new song, "Toshishun"
hah all good. Yes, Nigen is due for a spin
Hi Dean. I just listened to a great French-Vietnamese guitar player Nguyên Lê and his version of Come Together by The Beatles. Two things: 1. Come Together itself is very progressive song. 2. This is the best cover version of the song. Nguyên Lê makes one of the most played Beatles-songs totally his own with a great style and insight. Double progressive! He turns the song to a Vietnamese-pop-rock-fusion collage that no one has heard or imagined before. Please react to this, it's a jaw-dropper. As is the whole album Songs of Freedom (2011). It's the best cover album I've ever heard with covers of Bob Marley, The Beatles, Cream etc. This song and this album is something that your channel is all about!
ok👍
yeah, like it. Mantap!
right on bro! 👍☕️
Finally someone took notice of how unnecessary the "all-female" thing is. Also, good point on the table turning. Remember how off the reservation women got over Freddie Mercury? I never understood that at the time, but now I fully do. 😍
There's a live version of this, someone already commented here, I'm only reinforcing it so your crush on hana (the drummer) increases! 😂
Nice job! I love your insights!
Ah, Gacharic Spin, i can't recall a single song of theirs that didn't 'do it' for me, they have this knack for making everything they do look and feel super fun. I did enjoy DOLL$BOXX a lot as well, but it is awesome that they once again have their own singer. As talented as Fuki is, she has a *lot* of projects going on at any given time it seems.
As far as picking a favorite member goes, it's very difficult, they're all incredible in their way, but I'd have to say I'm a Koga guy :)
As a bassist I have to be inspired by F Chopper Koga, but Hana is great too... can I have a crush on the rhythm section please?
Great reaction and I'll take F-Chopper, her bass playing is amazing, but all of them are great. Proving since 2009 that you can follow your dream and make great music and never be locked into a box. GS V3.0 is, I think, the best version so far with the addition of Angie and Yuri and I can't wait for their new album (in Sept I think). I think that Japan is probably the only country that has the right atmosphere and attitude for all female bands to exist and thrive. Music education is not considered unimportant, but encouraged in school. Marty Friedman (Megadeth) moved to Japan in 2003 because he said that's where the most innovative and interesting music was being made.
I would love to visit Japan and check out bands
All this True! I have my pre-order in for the album. Waiting to see what role Hana wants to take on - which could be different each track.
That song is a masterpiece. One of the songs I can't listen to just once and have to repeat at immediately right after I heard it.
If you also listen to pop-rock, give Senkyakubanrai by Daoko x Miyavi a shot. Miyavi is a famous Japanese guitarist and Daoko a pop singer and Mindset immediately reminded of that one because of the guitar style and sound. Since the song is about 1,5 years old now, I wouldn't be surprised, if Mindset was inspired by it. Mindset still clearly wins for me, but Senkyakubanrai is also a great song, although a lot more poppy:

I love BAND-MAID, Gacharic Spin, NEMOPHILA, LOV... Wait, they're all female bands? They are so good I haven't thought about whether they are male or female. :)
Bravo!
On their YT channel they have a live version of this song.
remember that DOLL$BOXX is a kind of off spring from Gacharic Spin, or the other way round.
Ghacaric spin is princess energy
😁

🤘😊🤘
Yes, we old geezers are now thirstying over all of these young female Japanese artists..
yes, but isn't it amazing that young females are creating the music we like and not schlocky electronic garbage? We are very lucky!
You're so right on how the tables have turned.
*Dean* can you check out *BAND-MAID \ Beauty and the Beast* it is from their 2nd album and there is great call and response between *Miku* and *Saiki* you can access it thru their official channel under playlist *New Beginning* album. Thanks 🙏
Their new video just dropped: ruclips.net/video/-R6Nrr_omjE/видео.html - 'nuff said :D
Just letting you know, in case you hadn't seen it already, Gacharic Spin just dropped a new live clip of them performing MindSet from earlier this year: ruclips.net/video/11xO7GlXvSA/видео.html Yuri on drums, Hana on guitar (she adds some wailing prog guitar licks over the insanity of that instrumental section as if it wasn't already mad enough). I think you would enjoy!
will do
For the last two years I have been saying that Gacharic is not my cup of tea ... but I admire these girls so much, that maybe it is my cup of tea a little bit now ... but I still prefer the Doll$Boxx version.❤💙❤
I came here today to suggest this to you a year too late lol.
Actually in this vid...They are missing their normal drummer. Yuri is out on maternity leave atm. What you saw was Hana (R. Guitar/Drummer/ Vocals and whatever else she wants honestly.)
Love Hana
@@deanwolfechannel Hana is amazing. She has a unique talent allowing her to learn instruments in record time. She also has a deep connection to the Kami band. (BabyMetal)
If you like "MindSet", you should also listen to "Tamashii". It's VERY VERY COOL!!!
