@@Abigirl_Reacts They released a new EP like a week ago. 2 songs that they released were put on this. 6 songs total. Ito Okashi MyType was released with a MV for the release of the EP. The song itself is cleverly written about the Briggs-Meyers 16 personality types that Japanese people tend to be... obsessed? with dating and otaku/neet culture.
Typically, vocal duties are shared by Yukina (growls, anime-like kawaii vocals, rapping) and Matsuri (guitarist, clean vocals). In this one, bassist Hettsu, who also does kawaii vocals, has a rap part on the second verse, though she is usualjy just a backup vocalist. Hattsu also has an absolutely adorable spoken-word part in their brand new single "My Type," which just came out a few days ago. By the way, English lyrics were added in the comments on the original video page, but were not embedded in the video or CC.
@@Abigirl_Reacts Yep, it means "cute" and is often used to refer to elements of music or presentation that evoke an anime-like feel or a child-like feel, including those high-pitched vocals.
Yukina is one of the best screamers on the planet for sure. Every song has Yukina's death voice and Matsuri (guitar with blue hair) singing cleans, which makes for an incredible contrast and makes the screams just hit harder I think this is the only song they have that has fun with the occasional silly echos, so you won't really run into that again if it bothers you 😂 Vocals: Yukina Guitar+vocals: Matsuri Bass+sometimes vocals: Hettsu Drums: Chika from May 2023. Sae before then (inc this song) This particular song is a brain-bonker and definitely evolves through the song and doesn't have a traditional verse/chorus structure. But all their songs are bangers.. so I think there's tons more from them you'd enjoy
@@Abigirl_Reacts a bit of both, really! I think as others have mentioned the English translated lyrics were in the video description. It's about the drug-like sugar addiction of cakes and sweets - a similar sentiment to BABYMETAL's Gimme Chocolate with them loving chocolate but worrying about their weight For Hanabie it's mostly focused on their sugar addiction, but there is also the line "さらにもう怖い糖尿病到来？！" (sara ni mou kowai tounoubyou tourai!?) - "Afterall already the scary diabetes arrived!?" So they do make songs about interesting topics.. some are more light hearted than others. You've seen ones about workplace harassment and sugar addiction. Their newest music video is regarding the "Myers-Briggs Type Indicator" 16 personality types
Haha I think people expected cc like I did. Maybe "added English lyrics" would have been clearer because just saying add them sounds like it's yet to be done haha
@@Abigirl_Reacts Yeah yeah, we have to understand that their English is bad, at best. Moreover, they might have written this before adding the lyrics to the description, as a reminder. Or, ... anyhow, they are so good and so cute that we forgive them.
@rolandkarlsson7072 Well, they didn't even start trying to really learn English until this song took off in the west. You can see a dynamic shift from this video and everything that follows, because they suddenly became marketable. They are even trying to do interviews in English now, but tend to keep a translator close by to help.
When played live the echo used at the moment of her clearing her throat is used to mask/mark the transition between the backtrack and her actual vocals. You'll notice Yukina's scream from the breakdown continues over her own voice beginning to list all those sweets and whatever. When performing live she does the scream, while the "listing voice" is played of the backtrack. When the recording reaches the throat clearing moment she picks up the list and then the rap live.
#Abil The vocalist who pass from cute voice and the growling name YUKINA nickname from the fan is CHAOS GOLBIN. The other vocalist & guitarist MATSURI nickname by the fan is PRINCESS OF RIFFS. All outfits of the members during MVS or LIVEs are made by the fashionista of the band HETTSU also bassist. On this MV you see the 3rd drummer SAE ( she left the band, she's in CODE OF ZERO) Now they've found their 4th drummer, the very talented lady named CHIKA. YUKINA, HETTSU & MATSURI formed HANABIE in 2015 in high school . It was a cover band from MAXIMUM THE HORMONE.
@@Abigirl_Reacts The lyrics have tackled workplace harassment (Pardon Me ...), dating website dangers ("Reiwa Dating App..."), female and virtual relationship dynamics ("Be the Gal" and "Otaki Lovely Densetsu"), among other topics.
They have two and a half singer Yukina: cutsie stuff and deep growling. Matsuri: guitarist and main clean singing. Wonderful voice. Hettsu: bass. Sings on this song, but otherwise sings very seldom.
That is an honest reaction video. I absolutely love this band, but I completely understand what you are saying. I’m not a big fan of the high-pitched “little girl voice“ singing. But this song and everything they do has grown on me and they kick ass.
Hanabie = Harajukucore = 🔥🔥🔥🔥 It took me a little while to get into Hanabie, it took a minute to tune in to where they are coming from, but once I did… They are genius. The lyrics are in the description,
That cough that threw you off… ya. Yukina always throws in stuff to knock things off the expected. She does random antics in concert to. She’s the mischievous imp in their group of friends as well.
@Abigirl_Reacts No, they are a Band. They may not be your "thing," but they must absolutely be experienced. It is, truly, something you will not see anywhere else.
I suggest their OMV for "Don't light My Fire." It is (relatively) their most tame offering. Some of their other titles are "I am not Maternal," and "Dirty Old Fart is Waiting for my Reaction." They even have song about a chicken dish. Truly unique band. But they are compositionally and musically amazingly talented, and they definitely know who they and their fans are.
@@Abigirl_Reacts OTOBOKE BEAVER.....is an insane asylum!!!! They are disguised as a band. They left me with a bloody shirt and searching for my shoes on multiple occasions when I saw them!!! But it was so much FUN!!
Awesome! As you have checked out some Ado, check out Hanabie's 'metal-cover' of "Ado's 'Odo'"!! I'm sure you'll love it! :) 😊❤ th-cam.com/video/SPSpXzp3tfQ/w-d-xo.html

The best way to see this band is work less overproduced. I love their whole concert video of them in Taiwan. Shows a real band on a real stage doing their thing.
Here are the English lyrics: We love sweets No! It’s 3am. I’m getting hungry No way! No way! I need something meaty rather than a light snack
(“Amai”(too optimistic) my mind!) Oh yeah, simple and easy is just right , don’t you think? (“Amai” my mind!) It’s totally fine to be too optimistic, don’t you think? Here we go, I love ice-cream I wanna eat! eat! and eat more! When I eat something sweet, glucose becomes energy for the brain and makes my performance better My brain goes into full gear! So I think It’s OK to eat some sweets Of course it’s OK to spoil myself, isn’t it? Everyone loves a limited time only sweets buffet! It’s a perfect day for sugar, but I shake off my cravings Organize my mind, I can’t take the stress anymore It’s a perfect day for sweets, my cravings hit the red zone Just let me enjoy a stress-free life We love sweets! never sugar ever We love sweets! ever sugar forever We love sweets! never sugar ever We love sweets! ever sugar forever We love sweets! Thank you, oligosaccharide! We love sweets! After finishing my meal, although I’m so stuffed, I still want dessert, my stomach is grooooowling! Sugar is like my drug, I’m addicted to sugar, My mind runs back and forth, my vision changing dizzyingly Caramel, melty chocolate, Macarons, marshmallows, and sponge cakes Men can also love sweets The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m. Always covered in sugar, feeling high, Getting scared, and feeling so high Men can also love sweets The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m. Always covered in sugar, feeling high, What if I become diabetic?! Men can also love sweets The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m. Always covered in sugar, feeling high, Getting scared, and feeling so high Sweets, Japanese sweets, Western sweets, I’ve eaten them all for a long time and even now However, I’m seriously addicted We love sweets!
Kind of hard to forget this song. YUKINA, MATSURI, *and* HETTSU all sing on this one. Never had subtitles. It says “add English lyrics,” because there are none in the video. If there were only some way to find a translation of the Japanese. (… caramel, melted chocolate, macaron, marshmallow, short cake)
I had to do a second comment. Yukina is the growling singer, Matsuri is the gutarist singer and Hettsu is the bass player backing vocalist with the cute voice. This video features thier old drummer Sae, she has since been replaced with Chika (who would have been very happy that you said Hanabie correctly, because she gets cross that Americans usually say it wrong).
We love sweets helped them gain way more popularity they were actually thinking about disbanding but told to keep going and they made we love sweets and the song saved the band now they are gaining so much popularity they are on their way to becoming as big as Babymetal and also the drummer in the video is no longer with the band and the song is about having an unhealthy addiction to sugar
@@Abigirl_Reacts Just drummers it seems. Hopefully Chika stays with them. She has the same metal spirit as the rest of them and just really fits in well.
These girls dub their musical style as "Harujuku Core". The fashion influence is definitely Harujuku. I think it might be easier to break it down into Kawaii Metal-core with rap, punk, and edm influences. Most of their songs are serious, but they try to do it in a fun way. I actually don't think Gimme Sweets is one of their better offerings, mainly for the reasons you listed. It really throws people off on how it's arranged. I really like the song, but I feel like it's something you should listen to after you've heard a bit more of their stuff. LCG Remix 2019, or Reiwa Dating Apps Generation would have been better suited, if you're going to choose something from that album, Patrons. It took a minute for Hanabie to grow on me, but I now generally find it difficult to skip a song of theirs when it comes up on my spotify (which is often). I will always recommend Hyper Dimension Galaxy, and Tales of Villain as good songs to listen to. There's no MV, so if you want to understand the songs, lyrics are readily available.
These girls are very talented. Even you might dislike the one or other part. It's ok, I started my journey with them with "Be the gal" and I also was not entirely convinced. But I saw their talent. They have some amazing songs. Recently they published "My Type" It might be worth a reaction. It still is not my favored one but getting closer with every listening.
@@Abigirl_Reacts Makes no sense yelling at you. Ah, I think this artificial cough is because she switched back to from her normal voice to her cutesy voice, which could be interpreted that they are aware about the kawaii and play with it.
@@tomate3391 The cough is exactly that: she starts that bit talking seriously about her state of mind and sugar cravings, then coughs and transitions to the more 'cutesy' characterisation to list various sweet treats: "caramel, melty chocolate, macarons, marshmallow and shottokekki (sponge cake)".
The other track that you played by Hanabie was "Pardon me I have to go now". I was going to give you a massive amount of information because they are one of my favourite bands, but it's easy enough to look up. They are amazing live and they are one of the few bands thst actually made me go out and buy a CD. You should perhaps try the tracks "Otaku Lovely Densetsu" and "Be the Gal". I personally enjoy some of their less commercial songs that don't have videos. There are many live videos of them, but they are all fsn videos with terrible sound.
@@Abigirl_Reacts They have a video of a live concert with good sound on their channel, it appeared recently. They are very careful about the concept of live sound, and only post videos indicating the actual room where it was recorded.
That very high pitch voice represents the small little high-pitched voice that was amplified by their addiction to sugar. Needless to say, the powerful growl is the angry voice, angry over the sugar addiction (and apparently addiction to men too??). The higher pitch was meant to be disturbing (think of how a child acts when not getting what they want, or worse, getting what they want!!). You really do need the lyrics to catch all these. Anyway, I am sure everyone (plus their grandfather) will be telling you about the lyrics being in the description of that MV. No matter. What I did not understand is why you did not want to Google the lyrics up (and yes, Google Translate the whole thing!). True, the lyrics may not be 100% accurate, but it gives you a good indication of what is happening in the song (assuming you can understand the poetry behind the lyrics, which admittedly I sometimes struggle with). So, uhmmm, why not google it on your phone while doing this reaction?? I promise you it's free 😛
It doesn't matter honestly. People complain if I look at the lyrics too much and miss the video or the other way around, if I watch the video and miss the lyrics. I can't please everyone so I just choose to watch the video as I think that's more interesting than watching me stare at my phone while the video plays.
@Abigirl_Reacts Ah, I see! Well the music itself was more than worth it. Do know that I'm not complaining about this reaction at all. It's just that you seemed sorely disappointed at not having the lyrics when it had been promised in the title. Hence, I was just wondering why not look it up directly on Google.
Sorry, but another comment. This song was very early in their career when they were still at college together and were still mainly a Maximum the Hormone cover band. I don't think that they ever thought that they would be famous anywhere outside Japan. Here are the lyrics anyway: At 3 a.m., my hunger swells No! 真夜中の3時 膨らんだ 空腹感 No way! No way! Not only Kobara but Ebara No way! No way! コバラどころかエバラ Oh yeah, a little bit is just right, right? Oh yeah ちょろいくらいが 丁度いいでしょ？ (Sweet my mind!) (甘い my mind!) As long as it's sweet, you're in good shape, right? 到底 甘いくらいが調子いいでしょ？ Here we go I love you ice cream Here we go 愛してる アイスクリーム i want to eat! 食べたい！ i want to eat! 食べたい！ I want to eat more! もっと食べたい！ When you eat sweets, glucose feeds your brain. 甘いもの食べるとブドウ糖が脳の栄養になって It also increases work efficiency, right? 作業効率も上がるっていうよね？ Brain in full swing! 脳内フル回転！ Does this mean it's okay to eat sweets? これってつまり甘いものは食べてもいいってことだよね？ Of course it's fine, right? もちろんいいよね？ Spoil me? 甘やかして？ A limited time sweets buffet that everyone loves! みんな大好き期間限定のスイーツブュッフェ！ Shake off your desire on a sweet day 甘々日和で振り切れ欲望 Mental adjustment Stress explosion メンタル調整 ストレス大爆発 Love shakes off when it's a good day for sugar 糖分日和で振り切れ愛情 live a stress-free life ノンストレスな生活を I have a sweet tooth! 我甘党！ I have a sweet tooth! 我甘党！ (Never sugar forever) (Never sugar forever) Thanks oligosaccharide! 感謝オリゴ糖！ (Never sugar ever) (Never sugar ever) Thanks oligosaccharides! 感謝オリゴ糖！ (Never sugar forever) (Never sugar forever) I have a sweet tooth! 我甘党！ Approaching after dinner 迫りくる 食後 Immediately after a full stomach 満腹の 直後 another title 別腹の 称号 mydrak sugar dependence マイドラック 砂糖依存 Mind comeback, changing vision マインドカムバック 変わるビジョン caramel melting chocolate キャラメル とろけるチョコレート macaron marshmallow shortcake マカロン マシュマロ ショートケーキ Men's is also sweet and good.

By the time this song came out, they were doing all their own stuff. They were only a MTH cover band when they were in high school, and even by the time they graduated they were doing most of their own songs because the other school bands were doing orginal music and they wanted to compete.
@@Abigirl_Reacts A little of both? It's light hearted and the video is fun and silly, but they also deal with the real problems of sugar addiction. Notice how everyone is enjoying sweets except for Yukina (lead vocalist) who never touches them in the video, but she's tormented by wanting them, even though she knows it's bad for her. Edit: I should add that most of their songs deal with social issues. Their newest video "Ito Okashi My Type" is about the myers briggs personality types test and how in Japan many people take it (way too) seriously. Also, for future referance, their English lyrics are also (at least usually) in the video descriptions, but you need to scroll down below the Japanese. (though a lot of them have English subs too). This one seems like a request to "add English lyrics" but nobody ever did lol. Edit 2: If you like her screams, check out Tousou or NEET game.
@@Abigirl_Reacts I had to look that up. According to Japanese sources Matsuri wrote the music and Yukina wrote the lyrics just for fun. I wondered if it was a song about addiction that might have deeper meaning, but it seems not...
@@fishrobber99 I didn't realise that they had done a Kerrang interview this year, that was a really interesting read. I'm afraid most of my knowledge is based on badly translated Japanese information.
I"m actually glad that there were no lyrics, I sometimes feel you try so hard to understand lyrics that need cultural context to truly understand that you forget to just hear the music. But to be fair, I don't know why everyone suggests this song, I personally feel it's one of their weakest. Go check out Be the GAL or Run Away for good songs by them.
Remember, metal doesn't always take itself seriously. Sometimes is just the funny vibe. Take Power Metal for example. Music doesn't have to follow any sort of rules, especially genres like punk and metal. Breaking what's expected next in the song is old hat for genres like these. Perhaps relax a bit and don't limit yourself to the exact wording of the recipe.
@Abigirl_Reacts It's all cool. You just seemed a little lost. Fans do get a bit emotional. Didn't mean to sound condescending, my bad. Metal music is all over the place sometimes. Keep on the journey. JMetal is certainly something different yet familiar.
Creo que es algo normal ese sentimiento, en lo personal empecé a escuchar hanabie por un riff de una cancion que escuche, y digamos que mis primeras impresiones especialmente con esas mezclas de voces no fueron muy positivas, pero cuanto mas escuche mas me gustaba, obvio puede que no pase lo mismo con todos, pero tal vez dandole mas oportunidades pueda convencerte mas!! Aprovecho para recomendarte una cancion de Maximum the hormone, que vi que reaccionaste a ellos hace un mes, se llama これからの麺カタコッテリの話をしよう～』, es interesante jajaja Saludos!
It says English lyrics because they are in the description box. There are 2 singers btw not one. They look nothin alike so not sure how you mixed that up.
Excuse me, but it's wrong. Hana means flower or blossom and hie/bie means cold. But hanabie means cold weather in spring when cherry blossoms bloom. それはちょっと違います ハナは花を意味しヒエ/ビエは寒い事を意味しますが花冷えは 桜が咲く春の寒い気候を意味します We Japanese get excited when cherry blossom bloom beauty, and think winter is over and dress lightly and have picnic party with foods and alcohol under the trees. But sometimes it's not warm enough then we get cold.😅 日本人は桜が咲くとその美しさに浮かれて薄着で木の下で宴会する事がありますが、 以外に寒くてたまにそれで風邪をひきます
@@Abigirl_Reacts We have lots of Cherry Blossoms in Stockholm, Sweden 😁 But yes, see them in Japan would be very nice. There are lots of nice gardens in japan.
Nope. "Hanabie" is the name of a special chilly *wind* during the time of cherry blossom. Like "scirocco" is the name of a _mild_ wind in Italy, or "Föhn" is the name of a warm dry wind in Germany. The name "Hanabie" has _nothing_ to do at all with _flowers_ .
Crazy how divergent people's taste in vocals can be. I enjoyed Hanabie in concert so much, but I don't listen to them much due to the growls. I can't stand growls or rap. I really like when Yukina uses her girly voice instead. Same with several other bands I would otherwise like so much more.
And I love growling, Yukina has it very well, and she learned it herself. The high kawaii voice is not her usual voice either, in life she sounds like a third voice. By the way, in life she is a very modest and cultured lady.
Find it odd that the little cough thing threw you so far off. It is not in the regular release just the video. Like many Japanese bands they ignore genre and cookie cutter song structures. The lyrics are in the song description and it is not as silly as it seems. It is about addiction to sweets, and negative effects like diabetes.
Id love to hear the album version of the song! Could you possibly link? Every version I've found has it. Or even the live performance you mentioned where she doesn't do it? Thanks!
@@Abigirl_Reacts on the album I hear a boom boom sound not a cough. This fan cam from Chase I cannot hear it as well. Fan cams are not great but they do not have a great live of it:
@@Abigirl_Reacts I only hear a boom boom sound on the album. At 2:16 of this fan cam I cannot hear it th-cam.com/video/rza8bDipd_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U9u4h2Yay3c6hs-U
I wasn't sure about this band at first but the more I've listened and seen the more I love them! I recommend their newest song, My Type, next.

@@Abigirl_Reacts Kawaii literally means "cute."

@@Abigirl_Reacts Yep, it means "cute" and is often used to refer to elements of music or presentation that evoke an anime-like feel or a child-like feel, including those high-pitched vocals.

You may like Hanabie, you may not. But they are unique, there are no others like them. They create their own style, it is worth a lot.

The best way to see this band is work less overproduced. I love their whole concert video of them in Taiwan. Shows a real band on a real stage doing their thing.
I bet!
You can check their new song of “ito okashi my type” it’s a new banger..
Thank you, noted!
Here are the English lyrics:
We love sweets
No! It’s 3am. I’m getting hungry
No way! No way! I need something meaty rather than a light snack
(“Amai”(too optimistic) my mind!)
Oh yeah, simple and easy is just right , don’t you think?
(“Amai” my mind!)
It’s totally fine to be too optimistic, don’t you think?
Here we go, I love ice-cream
I wanna eat! eat! and eat more!
When I eat something sweet, glucose becomes energy for the brain and
makes my performance better
My brain goes into full gear! So I think It’s OK to eat some sweets
Of course it’s OK to spoil myself, isn’t it?
Everyone loves a limited time only sweets buffet!
It’s a perfect day for sugar, but I shake off my cravings
Organize my mind, I can’t take the stress anymore
It’s a perfect day for sweets, my cravings hit the red zone
Just let me enjoy a stress-free life
We love sweets!
never sugar ever
We love sweets!
ever sugar forever
We love sweets!
never sugar ever
We love sweets!
ever sugar forever
We love sweets!
Thank you, oligosaccharide! We love sweets!
After finishing my meal, although I’m so stuffed,
I still want dessert, my stomach is grooooowling!
Sugar is like my drug, I’m addicted to sugar,
My mind runs back and forth, my vision changing dizzyingly
Caramel, melty chocolate,
Macarons, marshmallows, and sponge cakes
Men can also love sweets
The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m.
Always covered in sugar, feeling high,
Getting scared, and feeling so high
Men can also love sweets
The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m.
Always covered in sugar, feeling high,
What if I become diabetic?!
Men can also love sweets
The organizer had a lightbulb moment at 3 a.m.
Always covered in sugar, feeling high,
Getting scared, and feeling so high
Sweets, Japanese sweets, Western sweets,
I’ve eaten them all for a long time and even now
However, I’m seriously addicted
We love sweets!
Thank you for the lyrics!
@@Abigirl_Reacts The lyrics are also in the description of that video. Most Japanese artists will put them there even if there are captions
Kind of hard to forget this song.
YUKINA, MATSURI, *and* HETTSU all sing on this one.
Never had subtitles. It says “add English lyrics,” because there are none in the video. If there were only some way to find a translation of the Japanese.
(… caramel, melted chocolate, macaron, marshmallow, short cake)
There are English lyrics, they're just in the description rather than captions.
Right!
Thank U abi for another amazing reaction I always look forward to Ur upload I really appreciate U for all Ur uploads hope you have a lovely Sunday
Thank you! You too!
@Abigirl_Reacts 🤗
I had to do a second comment. Yukina is the growling singer, Matsuri is the gutarist singer and Hettsu is the bass player backing vocalist with the cute voice. This video features thier old drummer Sae, she has since been replaced with Chika (who would have been very happy that you said Hanabie correctly, because she gets cross that Americans usually say it wrong).
Oh haha I literally watched her teach me how to say it correctly 😂
We love sweets helped them gain way more popularity they were actually thinking about disbanding but told to keep going and they made we love sweets and the song saved the band now they are gaining so much popularity they are on their way to becoming as big as Babymetal and also the drummer in the video is no longer with the band and the song is about having an unhealthy addiction to sugar
Have they switched members often?
@@Abigirl_Reacts Just drummers it seems. Hopefully Chika stays with them. She has the same metal spirit as the rest of them and just really fits in well.
I hope so!
These girls dub their musical style as "Harujuku Core". The fashion influence is definitely Harujuku. I think it might be easier to break it down into Kawaii Metal-core with rap, punk, and edm influences. Most of their songs are serious, but they try to do it in a fun way.
I actually don't think Gimme Sweets is one of their better offerings, mainly for the reasons you listed. It really throws people off on how it's arranged. I really like the song, but I feel like it's something you should listen to after you've heard a bit more of their stuff.
LCG Remix 2019, or Reiwa Dating Apps Generation would have been better suited, if you're going to choose something from that album, Patrons.
It took a minute for Hanabie to grow on me, but I now generally find it difficult to skip a song of theirs when it comes up on my spotify (which is often). I will always recommend Hyper Dimension Galaxy, and Tales of Villain as good songs to listen to. There's no MV, so if you want to understand the songs, lyrics are readily available.
Thanks for the suggestions to my patrons! Would you say this song is silly or serious?
These girls are very talented. Even you might dislike the one or other part. It's ok, I started my journey with them with "Be the gal" and I also was not entirely convinced. But I saw their talent. They have some amazing songs. Recently they published "My Type" It might be worth a reaction. It still is not my favored one but getting closer with every listening.
They're talented for sure! Thanks for not yelling at me for not liking the last 30 seconds lol
@@Abigirl_Reacts Makes no sense yelling at you. Ah, I think this artificial cough is because she switched back to from her normal voice to her cutesy voice, which could be interpreted that they are aware about the kawaii and play with it.
@@tomate3391 The cough is exactly that: she starts that bit talking seriously about her state of mind and sugar cravings, then coughs and transitions to the more 'cutesy' characterisation to list various sweet treats: "caramel, melty chocolate, macarons, marshmallow and shottokekki (sponge cake)".
Welcome to the Kawaii Harajuku Metalcore 🤘
Thanks!
So glad it changed after the first 10 seconds or I would have been out of here!!!
Oh haha yea I'm not a big fan of the high pitched vocals.
The other track that you played by Hanabie was "Pardon me I have to go now". I was going to give you a massive amount of information because they are one of my favourite bands, but it's easy enough to look up. They are amazing live and they are one of the few bands thst actually made me go out and buy a CD. You should perhaps try the tracks "Otaku Lovely Densetsu" and "Be the Gal". I personally enjoy some of their less commercial songs that don't have videos. There are many live videos of them, but they are all fsn videos with terrible sound.
Aw man, fan cam qualities are the worst aren't they?
@@Abigirl_Reacts I have a few good fan cam shots, but THEY'RE ALL MINE!
Haha understandable!
@@Abigirl_Reacts They have a video of a live concert with good sound on their channel, it appeared recently. They are very careful about the concept of live sound, and only post videos indicating the actual room where it was recorded.
Please listen King and Jester «Лесник»
What made you think of this band?
That very high pitch voice represents the small little high-pitched voice that was amplified by their addiction to sugar. Needless to say, the powerful growl is the angry voice, angry over the sugar addiction (and apparently addiction to men too??). The higher pitch was meant to be disturbing (think of how a child acts when not getting what they want, or worse, getting what they want!!). You really do need the lyrics to catch all these.
Anyway, I am sure everyone (plus their grandfather) will be telling you about the lyrics being in the description of that MV. No matter. What I did not understand is why you did not want to Google the lyrics up (and yes, Google Translate the whole thing!). True, the lyrics may not be 100% accurate, but it gives you a good indication of what is happening in the song (assuming you can understand the poetry behind the lyrics, which admittedly I sometimes struggle with). So, uhmmm, why not google it on your phone while doing this reaction?? I promise you it's free 😛
It doesn't matter honestly. People complain if I look at the lyrics too much and miss the video or the other way around, if I watch the video and miss the lyrics. I can't please everyone so I just choose to watch the video as I think that's more interesting than watching me stare at my phone while the video plays.
@Abigirl_Reacts Ah, I see! Well the music itself was more than worth it. Do know that I'm not complaining about this reaction at all. It's just that you seemed sorely disappointed at not having the lyrics when it had been promised in the title. Hence, I was just wondering why not look it up directly on Google.
It's like I sent my elementary school child to school and they came back a demon. Like WTF are they doing at the school?
Hahaha 😆
add english lyrics implies that they added English lyrics in the video description...
Oh as in they did it already! So added.
Awesome performance/ MV. I can't help it, but every time I hear this title, I think of Give Me Chocolate😋 🖖❤
🍫
Sorry, but another comment. This song was very early in their career when they were still at college together and were still mainly a Maximum the Hormone cover band. I don't think that they ever thought that they would be famous anywhere outside Japan. Here are the lyrics anyway:
At 3 a.m., my hunger swells
No! 真夜中の3時 膨らんだ 空腹感
No way! No way! Not only Kobara but Ebara
No way! No way! コバラどころかエバラ
Oh yeah, a little bit is just right, right?
Oh yeah ちょろいくらいが 丁度いいでしょ？
(Sweet my mind!)
(甘い my mind!)
As long as it's sweet, you're in good shape, right?
到底 甘いくらいが調子いいでしょ？

When you eat sweets, glucose feeds your brain.

It also increases work efficiency, right?

Does this mean it's okay to eat sweets?

By the time this song came out, they were doing all their own stuff. They were only a MTH cover band when they were in high school, and even by the time they graduated they were doing most of their own songs because the other school bands were doing orginal music and they wanted to compete.
Would you say this is a silly song or a serious song?
@@Abigirl_Reacts A little of both? It's light hearted and the video is fun and silly, but they also deal with the real problems of sugar addiction. Notice how everyone is enjoying sweets except for Yukina (lead vocalist) who never touches them in the video, but she's tormented by wanting them, even though she knows it's bad for her.
Edit: I should add that most of their songs deal with social issues. Their newest video "Ito Okashi My Type" is about the myers briggs personality types test and how in Japan many people take it (way too) seriously.
Also, for future referance, their English lyrics are also (at least usually) in the video descriptions, but you need to scroll down below the Japanese. (though a lot of them have English subs too). This one seems like a request to "add English lyrics" but nobody ever did lol.
Edit 2: If you like her screams, check out Tousou or NEET game.
@@Abigirl_Reacts I had to look that up. According to Japanese sources Matsuri wrote the music and Yukina wrote the lyrics just for fun. I wondered if it was a song about addiction that might have deeper meaning, but it seems not...
@@fishrobber99 I didn't realise that they had done a Kerrang interview this year, that was a really interesting read. I'm afraid most of my knowledge is based on badly translated Japanese information.
"Why don't they add English lyrics?"
I wonder how many American and European bands add Japanese lyrics...
I only asked that because it clearly said ADD ENGLISH LYRICS in the title. I didn't just complain out of nowhere.
This deserved a straight through follow up listen. Not sure how you can get any vibe from a song if it's paused every 10 seconds..
Lol Sorry you feel that way. Whelp, thanks for watching! ^_^
You need to react to Epica 😂
Thanks for the suggestion! ^_^
I"m actually glad that there were no lyrics, I sometimes feel you try so hard to understand lyrics that need cultural context to truly understand that you forget to just hear the music.
But to be fair, I don't know why everyone suggests this song, I personally feel it's one of their weakest. Go check out Be the GAL or Run Away for good songs by them.
Thanks so much for your opinion (and respecting mine!) I'll check those out!
If you want listen Hanabie have done Ado cover song ODO 🤘🤘🤘
Oh cool, noted.
Remember, metal doesn't always take itself seriously. Sometimes is just the funny vibe. Take Power Metal for example.
Music doesn't have to follow any sort of rules, especially genres like punk and metal. Breaking what's expected next in the song is old hat for genres like these. Perhaps relax a bit and don't limit yourself to the exact wording of the recipe.
I definitely didn't think this was a serious song although a lot of people are saying otherwise lol
@Abigirl_Reacts It's all cool. You just seemed a little lost. Fans do get a bit emotional. Didn't mean to sound condescending, my bad. Metal music is all over the place sometimes. Keep on the journey. JMetal is certainly something different yet familiar.
No problem at all! ^_^ have a good night!
Creo que es algo normal ese sentimiento, en lo personal empecé a escuchar hanabie por un riff de una cancion que escuche, y digamos que mis primeras impresiones especialmente con esas mezclas de voces no fueron muy positivas, pero cuanto mas escuche mas me gustaba, obvio puede que no pase lo mismo con todos, pero tal vez dandole mas oportunidades pueda convencerte mas!!
Aprovecho para recomendarte una cancion de Maximum the hormone, que vi que reaccionaste a ellos hace un mes, se llama これからの麺カタコッテリの話をしよう～』, es interesante jajaja
Saludos!
I'm absolutely willing to keep giving Hanabie another try, i enjoyed the first reaction I did to them!
🐇
Hey 🐰
It says English lyrics because they are in the description box. There are 2 singers btw not one. They look nothin alike so not sure how you mixed that up.
Yes I saw there are two, I just never saw one of them sing before
🥰
This song wasn’t made for you.
That is an accurate statement lol
🤘🇺🇦❤️ Hanabie ❤️🍰🥶🌸
🤘😊🤘
Hanabie - translated as Cold Flowers
Oh really? Cool!
Excuse me, but it's wrong.
Hana means flower or blossom and hie/bie means cold.
But hanabie means cold weather in spring when cherry blossoms bloom.
それはちょっと違います
ハナは花を意味しヒエ/ビエは寒い事を意味しますが花冷えは
桜が咲く春の寒い気候を意味します
We Japanese get excited when cherry blossom bloom beauty,
and think winter is over and dress lightly and have picnic party with foods and alcohol under the trees.
But sometimes it's not warm enough then we get cold.😅
日本人は桜が咲くとその美しさに浮かれて薄着で木の下で宴会する事がありますが、
以外に寒くてたまにそれで風邪をひきます
I'd love to see cherry blossoms one day
@@Abigirl_Reacts We have lots of Cherry Blossoms in Stockholm, Sweden 😁
But yes, see them in Japan would be very nice.
There are lots of nice gardens in japan.
Nope. "Hanabie" is the name of a special chilly *wind* during the time of cherry blossom. Like "scirocco" is the name of a _mild_ wind in Italy, or "Föhn" is the name of a warm dry wind in Germany. The name "Hanabie" has _nothing_ to do at all with _flowers_ .
Oh shit, it just went back to little babies/////
This band looks like little babies?
@@Abigirl_Reacts No, the vocals sound like anime babies when they're not growling.
Oh the kawaii vocals haha yep! That part is not for me but everything else was cool!
Crazy how divergent people's taste in vocals can be. I enjoyed Hanabie in concert so much, but I don't listen to them much due to the growls. I can't stand growls or rap. I really like when Yukina uses her girly voice instead. Same with several other bands I would otherwise like so much more.
And I love growling, Yukina has it very well, and she learned it herself. The high kawaii voice is not her usual voice either, in life she sounds like a third voice. By the way, in life she is a very modest and cultured lady.
Funny how opposite we are with our tastes!
@@Abigirl_Reacts Not opposites! We both love Babymetal and LOVEBITES!
Find it odd that the little cough thing threw you so far off. It is not in the regular release just the video. Like many Japanese bands they ignore genre and cookie cutter song structures. The lyrics are in the song description and it is not as silly as it seems. It is about addiction to sweets, and negative effects like diabetes.
What do you mean not in the regular release? 🤔
@ not on the album version of the song, nor does she do it in concerts. It is just in the music video.
Id love to hear the album version of the song! Could you possibly link? Every version I've found has it. Or even the live performance you mentioned where she doesn't do it? Thanks!
@@Abigirl_Reacts on the album I hear a boom boom sound not a cough. This fan cam from Chase I cannot hear it as well. Fan cams are not great but they do not have a great live of it:
@@Abigirl_Reacts I only hear a boom boom sound on the album. At 2:16 of this fan cam I cannot hear it th-cam.com/video/rza8bDipd_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=U9u4h2Yay3c6hs-U
