It's not hanabi (fireworks), it's ha na bi e (flower cold), a four syllable Japanese word that describes the sudden chill in Japan's weather after the warm April temperatures.
Love Hanabie! Sadly, heard they just canceled their sold-out Paris show due to their drummer Chika suffering a wrist injury. Hopefully, she recovers quickly so they can continue their tour. The drummer in this video is their previous drummer Sae who left for personal reasons in 2023.
@@MrsRealistic Sae was really great, both in terms of skills and personality! But the way the original members (so the other three) approach Hanabie is a bit different than most professional musicians. That band is their everything, so whoever is in the drummer's seat needs to be prepared to make a lot of sacrifices with their personal life in order to match people whose personal life IS the band. As Matsuri explains it, when they began ramping up their activities early last year the friction increased to a point where it was best to just part ways. When they got Chika onboard they made sure that it's clear beyond any doubt what she's getting herself into. She is also an amazing performer, so I really hope the injury situation resolves itself quickly enough, cause Matsuri fucking hates cancelling gigs... 😅
The lyrics are basically about sugar addiction but in a fun kind of way. One of the lyrics nearer the end mentions diabetes. So on the surface it's kinda we love sweets, we are metal but also cute. But underneath there is a bit of a commentary on sugar addiction, weight issues etc. Most of Hanabie's songs do this. Often some kind of ultimately meaningful message, but delivered in a non preachy fun way.
Well, it was definitely a fun way for sure! And you're right... sugar addiction is legit! It's a huge issue and we're getting less and less healthy because of processed food.
There is a lot of social pressure in Japan. It's rare for Japanese people to offer any controversial opinions. If you find a message in Japanese songs 99 percent of the time that is your own opinion not theirs. But i agree with you. Sugar is evil. My father died of diabetes.
@Jordan-Ramses often true about lots of music, except these young women have been very clear about their song meanings. They also talk about hook-up culture, work culture, social pressures, the entire gambit.
I saw Hanabie in Sacramento. They are brutal live. If you like crowd surfing, stage diving, insane mosh pits, and walls of death, this band is for you!
Best band of the 2020s, hands down. Their sound is very unique, bordering on experimental, but is always so groovy and catchy, it's nothing short of a miracle they can pull it off song after song, while going so hard as they usually do.
If you get a chance to visit Tokyo when Hanabie are not on tour, especially pre-tour, you may be able to catch them playing at one of the, “live houses”, in Shinjuku. They wear Harajuku style and they are often shopping in Harajuku, but their playground and friends all hang out in Shinjuku. That’s their turf. Many live houses will have 3-5 bands play per night, and when on break, Hanabie will haunt the underground music scene. 🤘😁 🇯🇵
Hanabie (pronounced HAHN-a-bi-ǝ) This is what you get when Babymetal and Maximum the Hormone have a love child. They actually started in high school, playing MTH covers. In their short existence, they have already published three albums and toured Europe and North America. Clearly one of THE new metal bands to watch. Most of their songs are quite pointed, concerning social issues like dating app abuse, sexual harassment, drugs, human trafficking, cheating etc. “We Love Sweets” is about having an unhealthy relationship to sugar. Members: Vocalist (Harsh, rap)- Yukina Guitarist and Clean vocals - Matsuri Bassist and backing vocals - Hettsu Drums - Chika (replaced Sae in 2023) (Their producer, Gaku Taura, is also the drummer for Crystal Lake. He sat in on drums for Hanabie when they were between full-time drummers.)

Classical first time reaction song to Hanabie. High shock value. I discovered them 2 month ago. My first song which I heard from them was "Be the gal". Despite was not completely sold on that specific song, it showed their great talent and I am happy that I dug deeper in their catalog.
The first part when they slowed down and were wearing the strawberry hats ... the part where you said, "they are clearly singing in Japanese here," ... was the one part that was entirely in English, lol!
They are awesome. They excel at genre flips, time changes, transitions and some really badass riffs. Heavily influenced by a band named Maximum the Hormone - Hamabie started out doing MTH covers. MTH has a very similar song structure formula and is a very Influential band in Japan. Their female drummer inspired both Akame (Band-Maid) & Tamu (Nemophila) that feamles could be drummers. Hanabie has some real bangers in their catalog. Any suggestions you get will be awesome. Again, all these petite Japanese women are just showing up almost everyone else. I'm at the point if I see 4-5 Japanese women walking down the street. I'm wondering if they are all shredders.
The most amazing song on sugar addiction (and our sugar-overloaded everyday lives) that I have ever heard. And as sugar is the greatest danger in my personal life, too, I absolutely _enjoy_ the final moment when the piece of cake is crushed. 😁

These girls are very good and very funny, and by the way, how could you not love these girls??? if during the pandemic they gave an online concert dressed as Winnie the Pooh😹🤣😂🤣😹
"amai my mind" is a play on words.. as it means both "sweet, my mind" and "naive, my mind" (like the sweets can easily bewitch them into eating them.. but then you gotta worry about getting fat!)
They write all the songs themselves. Matsuri - guitarist/clean vocals writes the music, Yukina main vocals/growl writes lyrics and comes up with themes. Hetsu is the bass guitarist and also designs and sews their costumes. Matsuri, by the way, is a hereditary metalhead; her father plays bass guitar in a metal band.
My bad. I suggested this band and song on day 1 and somehow missed this! BTW, it's pronounced Ha-nah-bee-eh. There's a video of them teaching the crowd the correct pronunciation here on YT. "Pardon Me, I Have to Go Now" next! There is still one band left on my Top 5 essential J-rock groups that was in my original comment. Babymetal "Catch Me If You Can" live with intro. You'll be shocked again, in a different way!😂👍✌️🤘
@MrsRealistic I'm subbed now, so I won't miss the J-rock journey! Growing up, I would've never guessed that in the future my favorite rock bands would be all women, Japanese women!
Hi there, just randomly found your Hanabie-First-Contact. Those Reaction Videos are the best ones on youtube. To see the changing faces of poeple, as soon as Yukina starts to growl. Want to go a bit deeper down that rabbit hole? There is a Band called Saiseiga. But wich song should i use to introduce them. Guess their Song Sink fits best. [Official Video] SAISEIGA - sink
Japanese and English are vastly different so lost in translation applies. Don't worry about lyrics and just enjoy the amazing vocals and awesome music.
I seen these ladies ta show this past May and the lead singer is about 4 foot 5 inches tall. So they are small framed with all that power coming out of them.
One of my favorite songs from this band is 【花冷え。】-令和マッチング世代- (REIWA Dating Apps Generation) Music Video【HANABIE.】(add：English Lyrics) ruclips.net/video/LOs_Th_qyIs/видео.htmlsi=dgsVPfJuSzvzD0bO
What they have is brilliant high school level music education and girls in particular want to form bands with their besties. Guys want to make music alone in their bedrooms on screen.
@@rolandkarlsson7072 the role of after school clubs where they do sports music culture etc is important as there is often an old rocker running a class and overjoyed to be passing the torch.
You're about the same size as this band. The bass player, Hettsu, is the tallest at 160cm/5'2", to Yukina, the vocalist, who's shortest at 149cm/4' 10".
Actually, at the very moment you were saying they are singing in Japanese, they were doing the spoken word in English. I hear "Caramel", "Chocolate", "macaroon" "marshmallow" and, among other things, "Cabbage" (don't ask).
When Yukina starts that section with the 'serious' voice, what she says roughly translates as "Sugar is like my drug, I'm addicted to sugar. My mind runs back and forth, my vision changing dizzyingly" - then she clears her throat and starts listing sweets in the cute voice. The whole section is in Japanese, but the sweet names listed are largely loan words from English and French anyway as they are introduced items: キャラメル (pronounced "kyarumeru") = caramel とろけるチョコレート (pron. "torokeru chokoreto") = melting chocolate マカロン (pron. "makaron") = macaron マシュマロ (pron. "mashumaro") = marshmallow ショートケーキ (pron. "shotokeki") = shortcake

3:42 "Sugar... sugar... sugar... *WE LOVE SWEETS!* Sugar...sugar... (Never ever...)" 😁
