Fuck yeah, these guys know exactly what Hardcore is all about - community, unity, and of course the music! These guys are the real deal, I hope the scene in Japan continues to grow and grow. Much love from the US.
なんだこの神インタビュー
「自分の形で発信し続けてる個人がハードコア」。その言葉刺さりました。
Makes me so happy seeing how much the hardcore scene is growing in Japan.
Dope clip ! Thanks for the English subtitles, we can't wait to see Japan HC !
もう何年か前ですが、私がライブ会場の入口を目指して歩いていたら､入口付近にいらっしゃったセンタさんがさりげなく入口のドアを開けてくださったことを思い出しました。紳士的な振る舞いに敬服です。
今はライブに行くことはありませんが、このビデオを見てすこし懐かしい気持ちが沸きました。
やっぱハードコアってかっこいいよね。どこまでもライブという現場の熱量が異常なジャンルっスヨネ。
ハードコアに狂わされて良かったっス

As a passionate fan of rock and bands like NIN and Iron Maiden; I can understand the passion and the release.
Chilling time! The Japanese scene is really keeping things alive!
You guys should play with the bands here in the Philippines. The hardcore scene will love you guys. Mabuhay!

この界隈、ピットでの流れ弾は被弾覚悟で臨むわけだけど、その中で転んだ人は踏まれないように反射で助けるのもまた良いよね
Translated to English it says to be prepared to get hit with a stray bullet in the pit. I’m curious if this is a literal translation, a figure of speech/ overexaggerate, or it just translates that way but doesn’t mean bullet??? Thank you in advance 😊
From AZ and yes its brutal out here. Love this video!!!
Thank you so much for this. I wished someone would have made this video back in ‘08-‘09 to really show the rise of Japanese metal into the world until today, you made a dream a reality today. Thank you all who worked on this. It’s incredible. ❤️🙏🏽
この界隈では既にモッシュダイブが解禁されてるのが羨ましいよ
Cool to see the used track titles already in the video description. Very genuine feeling portrait of the local scene over there :)
Growing up in Boston Ma. Hard-core music was life. My friends and I were all in bands. My buddies band, Death Before Dishonor. Still tours I'd like to see you guys play a show with them sometime
way too cool🔥
Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏
昔も今も変わらず
ライブ終わりに、若手の人たちが
フライヤーとかDEMOなどを
配ったりするのとか、
SNSだけに頼ってないところが
また良い
そうゆう頑張ってる姿を見ると
自分も頑張ろうて思います。
すごくニッチな世界でけど、
最高の音楽です
いつもハードコアバンドに勇気をもらってます。
Just saw Numb, Sand, many others bands.. and Zulu this night. It was incredible. The level of energy, positivity, was astonishing.
The japanese hxc scene manages to keep the oldschool spirit while being fierce af 😍✊
My Meat's your Poison. That was my introduction to Japanese Hardcore. Outo, Lipcream, SOB... Mad Love from the USA.
かっけえな、、こういう動画に出会えてよかった
Japan's hardcore sinces are unbelievably full of energy. Been there last bloodaxe2018. What a best memory in Japan.
BIG LOVE AND RESPECT FROM TEXAS USA !!!! YALL ARE INSPIRING US TO STEP UP OUR GAME . Even INTEGRITY is taking cues from Y’all!
Sandはマジで見に行きたい。
20年前から活躍してて未だに活動してるニュースクールハードコアタイプのバンドなんて絶滅危惧種かもしれんし。
João Gordo from Ratos de Porão in 4:34 brazilian hardcore legend! Mad respect to Gordo!
Que insano!!! Nem tinha notado.
O comentário brasileiro que eu estava esperando
sandの人やっぱり尖ってるなぁ
I always wanted to see one of those shows
カッコよすぎて震える、心の底からリスペクトします
Very glad to see the influence of metal spread worldwide, into Japan as well and watch how other cultures digest and make their own out of the mold! Much love fam!!!
マジかっこいいです。
ハードコア最高。
This is hardcore at it's purest! Love from the US
That's some awesome stuff right there.
I didn't know Japanese Hardcore was a thing...I'm way into this!
great video
I really liked this one.
Damn, now i wana go to Japan and see them play and join the wild crowd.
My partner and I have plans to go to Japan in a year and would love to go to a HxC show!!! The vibe is totally different to here in the states because the passion runs so deep in Japan where I've experienced a lot more banality at shows.
If anyone knows where to meet up or how to get to a show in Japan please comment to this because I'd love to meet y'all!!!!
Did you go? How was it? I grew up in the states going to hc shows in the 90s and lived in Japan between 05-09. Loved going to shows while in Japan, long after I was over going to shows in the US. Just a much more fun atmosphere over there.
Follow the bands on Instagram if you got one that's the easiest way to find out about shows in other countries.
Following bands on social media is the easiest way to know where and when they are going to play. I live in Tokyo, and I've been to many live houses in the last seven years, bands like OTUS, Loyal to the Grave, Gates of Hopeless, NUMB, know how to put on a show. I'd recommend you to visit Tokyo in December for Nerds Fest.
I would dead ass love to go too but the problem is me and my friends wouldn’t know which bands that are well known in the scene or dates playing
its nice to highlkght japanese hardcore band because hardcore music scene rn enter new golden era. My fav japanese hardcore band rn kruelty.
I heard Japan's Scene is Amazing this was in mid 90's I'm sure it's getting better and better.
この動画何回観るんだろうか俺は…。
So ready to see this in concert when I get to Japan one day!
This is dope, keeping hardcore alive!!!
Respect from Miami, Florida USA. Miami Hardcore!
Following you all on Spotify. I miss shows like this.
トメとサイゴンなんちゃらの人、くっそカッコいい....
ノットサイゴン
サイガンテラー
Im going to hit up a show when I visit this summer
As a foreigner in Japan, I'm suprised GaijinPot of all channels uploaded this.
I thought Gaijinpot was for job seeking as a foreigner in Japan.
Thanks for showing Japanese Hardcore to the world.
Sin duda algo que me ha llevado a Japón en más de una ocasión es la música, RADIOTS fue una banda que me gustó mucho verlos en directo en Shibuya The Game
Chillin time! Looks like fun hahaha
Gudon, gauze, Deathside, nightmare, the comes. Best era of hardcore ever.
Cheers From Brazil.
Chilling time
ハードコアはあんまりわかんないけど、HIPHOPの文化と似た空気感があってかっけぇな
Theストリートって感じで痺れる
分かるわ、服装も似てるし空気感も似てますね。HCの方がより硬派硬質感がある。どっちもええよな。
ライブ文化は月とすっぽんだけどね
HIPHOPの客はSNSに映像を載せたくてずっとスマホ掲げてる
Hardcore never die 🤘🤘
Excellent 🔥💎🔥
1:17 I want to sample that that’s so cool 🤘🪩
Awesome
Hardcore greetings from the North. Respect and best wishes brothers👊
My two favorite bands came out of Japan. Su19b who were awesome Powerviolence now more Doom/Sludge who formed around 1996. And everyone knows Corrupted! Been a fan of them since 1995 when I first heard “Anciano”. They were the heaviest band out in the scene back then!
Su19b absolutely kills it, whatever release!......ridiculously underrated band, during their pre-straight-doom/sludge, and even nowadays.
Corrupted is a total classic as well!......listening to them as I type this now, 'cause you mentioned it - always sofa king dope.
I'm honestly much more into Japan's ole'school hardcore, powerviolence, grindcore, fastcore, and noise scenes, over this 90's tough guy/modern beatdown version of hardcore (in general, not just Japan's scene)......
*insert rant that you can feel free to skip*
Propagating and the advocation of willfully-minded violence, fueled by purposeful-intent (especially crowd-killing) within a crowd and even a mosh pit itself, is something that I can't and won't stand behind, nor support.
That kind of senseless violence crowd/pit violence is exactly what broke up Minor Threat, and CIV's "Soundtrack For Violence", is an anthem those entire hardcore scene could learn to take a lesson from.
All that machismo testosterone, gangs, crews.....paired with all that talk about "unity", "family", and "brotherhood" within those scenes - I've seen waaay too many times, how quickly all that preaching goes right out the window, when someone accidentally close-fisted-backhands someone, in or around the pit. haha
*end rant*
There's a few 90's tough guy hardcore bands that I'll never stop listening to (Earth Crisis, Mushmouth, ect.), and some modern beatdown stuff is cool (End it, Jesus Piece, ect.).....but those scene's vibe hit different with me nowadays - I use to sing in a band, that was actually a part of that 90's scene (Outbreak, NEPA), but while in that band, the guitarist & I discovered Spazz, and that was a rap for us. haha
We started a powerviolence band (Stabacadaver), and I've been pretty much involved in that scene (fan and/or band) still to this day, like 20+ years later.
There are definitely a few iconic, extreme Japanese bands that deserve their place in history. Corrupted is one band that no one will ever be able to match. Another example is GISM’s final record. But the bands included in this video just ain’t it.
Lady's and gentlemen, this is hardcore 🖤💪 many love from germany!!
... I love it... greetings from germany...
菅原さん00年代とかめちゃくちゃ怖かったけど今優しい顔してるな〜
hardcore is about unity and a source to express something you can't express someplace else.
There is no way you are not a 7 Seconds fan. Cheers! I'm old and agree 100%.
@@reidellis1988 7 seconds i great! I'm 36 from Belgium, we had a big scene here - check out H8000 Belgian hardcore scene and check out Dead stop, they have some albums on youtube.
@@UranHexx I'm 51. Mainstrike fan all day. I even have a pair of Klompen.✌
@@reidellis1988 hehe that's The Netherlands ;) our Northern neighbours
@@UranHexx My bad. I didn't mean to be ignorant. I'm a fan of good hardcore regardless. I have driven 8 hours to a show. It's not that far between Belgium and the Netherlands. I would consider that local. Cheers.
LOYAL.

yooo wasn’t expecting a cameo from Aaron Heard of Jesus Piece, I been curious to find out about japan’s hardcore scene and I’m glad I came across this, hope to travel one day over there, sending love from Texas 🫡
would love for Japan HxC to come into the states, Most out of country HxC bands I've saw come from Mexico and they'be been great aswell.
4:35 this is João Gordo from the international Brazilian punk band called RATOS DE PORÃO or just R.D.P.......... I loved this video
i miss japan
Very cool vid! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦 ✌🏼✌🏼👊🏼
サイコー🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dope
That one guy got introduced to hardcore music by the documentary video American Hardcore. He thought, "What is this?" And was so inspired he went back in time to 1993 to see a Sick of it All show but could not get in. He stayed outside anyway and hung out. That is hardcore! Time traveling because you have that much passion for the music. Then he came back to the present and started a real hardcore band and plays his own shows.
Yo, I listen to Numb and Sand that shit is dope!!!
Sugoii
16reasons was a sick band from japan
Please come to the Philippines.
i would definitely wanna be in one of fhe Hxc shows in japan
The only true hardcore is coming from Japan. Their culture lacks the jaded pretension and bloat of American bands. The Japanese purity, humility, and authenticity comes through in their music.
It's an over generalization to say that "true" hardcore only comes from one source, most smaller scenenes i've seen in the US are just folks making music while being very chill people
🤓
YoYo!
ドリルが流行ってまたクロスオーバーしかけてる
I love u ,,,, salam dari Indonesian 🤘HARDCORE JAPAN ❤️
and seeing joão gordo from ratos de porão there ! great scene Japan!!
Sugoi umai.. 😊 😊
ORA ORA ORA🤘🏾🤘🏾
Whatever happened to the old Japanese hardcore bands I remember from the 80s like Gauze, Lip Cream, Gism, etc.>
Gauze, Crow, Death Side, Poison Arts, Nightmare, Systematic Death. Rapes, SOB and more are still playing gigs. even GISM did a coule gigs the last fiew years.
All excellent bands! But it's not the 80s anymore.
@@LANGI902 I'd say this isn't Hardcore Punk, it's just "Hardcore" with the Chugga Chugga 90s american thing going on. Hardcore Punk is still alive in japan too
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lets mosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah I like this !!
japanese hardcore is already huge internationally because of gauze, gism and lip cream. Theres a finnish band SELFISH that sounds exactly like japanese style hardcore. Lots of new american hardcore bands now like gag and bands from the midwest are influenced by japanese hardcore
None of those bands are technically hardcore. It's all metalcore dude.
@@dudeitsgunther Gauze and Lip Cream were Metal Core? That's nonsense. Both bands were prime of the Japanese HC scene with Gauze (one of the best HC bands ever) playing for over 41 years. These bands shown here are in some why copying American HC sound, which is legit, but not original. The Japanese HC bands of the 80s and 90s and 2000s were truly original in sound and attitude - check out Colored Ricemen, Systematic Death, Eiefits, Final Count, Forward, Macrofage etc.
Una chimba de escena HxC en japon! 🤘
Gotta go to Koenji if you wanna see these kind of bands on the regular
Didnt understand a word of this but i fuckin feel it
80s Hardcore culture in the US just made it to Japan
🤘
This shit cool.
I need to Hit Up the MOSH PITTS in JAPAN y0!!!!
Aaron heard: Spotted
Man what’s the song at the end though? I
Carai João Gordo alii! ce loko!
HELL YEAH, ARIZONA REPPIN!🌞🌵
