You absolutely should see them live. Their live performances are even more impressive and entertaining. I saw them twice on their recent tour. I can't wait for the next opportunity to see them again.
Got the chance to do the meet and greet in San Antonio , they are super cool and friendly, the show was so hardcore and fun definitely see them live if you can!
Awesome, I will definitely have to check them out next time around. From a meet and greet perspective, how was their English or where there translators? I have seen some bands where it’s really broken and some where it’s not at all. Just curious. 🤘
@@MattsMoshPit1it’s still very broken but they def gotten way better with their English , I only seen translators during their interview , but when I met them they def try their best to talk to you in English, they appreciate their fans a lot that’s for sure, I gifted them ninja turtle fugglers and chika and hetsu took a selfie with them and posted it on their IG so I felt accomplished lol in my video tousou, Yukina comes down to the crowd and high fives EVERYONE that’s by the barrier , can’t wait till they get bigger they deserve it , but their old stuff is def heavier
Matt: Blah, blah, BABYTMETAL, blah, blah, 'Gimme Chocolate'. Me: Oh, he doesn't actually know anything about *Hanabie.* He's going in blind. Hehehe. . . 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 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 social issues in Japan, like sugar addiction, dating app abuse, and office life. But they always deliver that message in an entertaining way. Here's a few song recommendations for you - 'Pardon me, I have to go now', '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.
I saw them live recently in Salt Lake City, they go even harder live. Yukina (the singer) is really fun to watch as she dances around the stage. They are incredibly impressive live, and I'm glad to have gone to one of the few headliner concerts that they've done.
Hanabie absolutely slaps. They are currently touring with Jinjer, both at the top of my favorites list. They literally have no bad songs but fan favorites include Be the Gal Summer Edition, Pardon Me I Have to Go Now, Reina Dating Apps Generation and Otaku Lovely Densetsu.
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😆
The irony is that the two titles are unrelated. "Gimme Chocolate" refers to Valentine's Day in Japan (people give chocolate to the one they're in love with) and is intended as "tell me you love me". "Wareamatou" which is translated as "We Love Sweets" is literally "sweet tooth/hunger for sugar" and here is also meant as a metaphor for getting hooked on stuff getting too much of which is not good for you. Hanabie have quite a few songs about that particular topic since the members of the band get hooked on stuff a lot lol
Have you read the lyrics to Gimme Chocolate? It has pretty much exactly the same meaning as WLS. Never heard a Valentine’s take on it and the lyrics don’t fit that.
@@allanmoger1838 Google the title adding valentine and you'll find plenty. The lyrics of the song are so simplistic they don't support anything anyway.
@@allanmoger1838 To elaborate now that I don't have to type with a thumb only 😅 It's not about the lyrics - it's the title and the phrase which is deliberately chosen to evoke the Valentine's Day ritual. It's what "giving someone chocolate" means. Maybe you haven't noticed it somehow, but over the years this song has constantly been associated with said day and Babymetal themselves have released dance videos and greetings and whatnot on the 14th of February using it. I even remember some Japanese reporter singing it during a live broadcast on Valentine's Day earlier this year, cause it popped in my Twitter feed 😄 This is not an either/or thing in the sense of does it mean this or does it mean that...
Hanabie starts as a cover band for Maximun the Hormone themes. Maximun the Hormone is a legendary band in Japan, more than 25 years "making noise" and a really crazy metal band. Metal in Japan can´t be explained without bands like this and of course bands like X-Japan or Show-Ya. Show-ya is one of the first metal bands really popular in Japan (from 1981 and still active) with an all-female formation. And yes, Babymetal is really popular in Japan, but they aren´t really a "metal band" in a traditional sense, they are more an idol group. Metal scene in Japan is really big, and Japan is the second largest music market worldwide.

Japanese is truly a metal hot-spot at this moment ! Hanabie got so many awesome tracks ... tousou - pardon me i have to go now - be the gal - and many more :) in this case, u need to check out: Passcode - Taking you out Broken by the Scream - Rising Sun Wagamama Rakia - Survive Unlucky Morpheus - Unending Sorceress especially these two bands: Shingeki - Inferno Maze - Silent Witness they get not enough attention :)
Hah-Nah-Bee-Eh (Hanabie = cold flower -> frosty spring weather, Hanabi = fire flower -> fireworks, Hannahbeeyay = nonsense) are simply fantastic. No other Japanese female metal band has such a high level of creativity in songwriting. This song, for example, doesn't repeat itself once. And Yukina is quite unique with her combination of cute vocals and her growls and screams. Our favorite Hanabie song is L.C.G (Lollypop Candy Girl), it is also the first Hanabie song where many different styles were mixed together and therefore the very first Harajukucore song.
"I, I, I, wow" - Yes, that is the correct reaction. LOL They started life as a Maximum the Hormone cover band, you should check them out here - MAXIMUM THE HORMONE 『SHIMI feat. ATARASHII GAKKO!』at: th-cam.com/video/teRgh01Xb1U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that Darko US mention btw! I didn't know of them and just went through half a dozen songs and gotta say it's probably the first deathcore band that I truly enjoyed listening to. Their take on the genre seems to have a lot more going for it than just spamming breakdown after breakdown even though they are also doing that ofc lol
With Hanabie you have now met probably the best metal band from Japan at the moment. With their combinations of different (sub)genres and styles, Hanabie have founded their own metalcore subgenre, Harajukucore. If you want to hear how Harajukucore started, I recommend the L.C.G music video, where Hanabie mixed a lot of different things together perfectly for the first time. To hear the perfect pronunciation of Hanabie (Hah - Nah - Bee - Eh with four syllables), simply copy and paste 花冷え。 into Google Translate and have the word read to you, nothing could be easier or faster.
You absolutely should see them live. Their live performances are even more impressive and entertaining. I saw them twice on their recent tour. I can't wait for the next opportunity to see them again.
Thank you for sharing. I will definitely check them out the next time around 🤘
