It was never intended as such, but after the last couple of months, it's clear that this is now an "official" Hanabie fan channel. The idea going forward will remain to serve as a bridge between the two fandoms of the band - the Japanese and everyone else - while highlighting rare and cool videos that might've otherwise gotten lost in the hopeless mess that is social media. Enjoy whatever content you find interesting and see you in the moshpit ;)
Yukina rules. Anyway, I looked up Azami right away. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RAiWpk_h8P4.html what a song. Hardcore lives (in Japan). 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for posting!!!! This is great stuff!!! I think they only partially listened, though, as they did Ghost Mania instead, right? Still, would love to hear more of their old stuff as well. They only had 30 minutes at the festival I attended, which meant there were no Cherry Blossoms are Blooming songs, alas.
Yeah, the only Kaika Sengen song they did this tour was Ghost Mania, which is also a damn awesome one - just like everything else in that EP ^^ Pretty sure the reason they picked GM was that they also played it during their Otaku 2-man tour in Japan, where they'd use it to have the vocalist of their partner band drop in and sing the breakdown part at the end. To my knowledge Chika has never played live any other Kaika Sengen track except GM, so she might very well not know these at all... Hanabie's upcoming tour in Japan is an interesting one btw, because they are doing it by themselves and they've booked some pretty large venues this time around (literally 10 times larger compared to the last one in some cases), so I wonder if they'll finally begin doing 90 minute sets. They'll have to sooner or later, especially since they might headline some of the smaller festivals next year.
@@omnisemantic1 Yeah, I've seen footage of Ghost Mania with guest appearances. It is a killer song, too. Well, I like all of their stuff old and new, so I am biased. The new tour info is very cool, because a) longer sets of Hanabie, who wouldn't want that, and b) I am hoping they will do more clubs in Europe (and NL in particular) instead of festivals. Though they already booked two German ones (or 3 already?). Hanabie headlining is the goal, right? That would be amazing.
@@AHSama-qp8yk I'm certain they'll keep playing clubs for the time being, but festival appearances will always be a priority for Hanabie. I'm hoping they'll consider doing an EU tour in the winter like the one they're doing with Jinjer in the USA in October, but with the music from their new record ofc 😁 I really don't want to wait for festival season to hear this stuff live. If they announce any NL headliner gigs I'll be there for sure btw - I lived in NL for a decade and it will be very surreal to experience Hanabie in that setting 🤘
@@omnisemantic1 That's cool that you have lived in NL! I can imagine Hanabie in a full Paradiso, for example. (Including both balconies) - that would be insane. But any appearance in a club in the EU would be great, "beter iets dan niets" -> I went to Jera on Air just to watch Hanabie play for 30 minutes. The other bands were great, too, though. But I wouldn't have gone if they hadn't been there.
@@AHSama-qp8yk Last time I was in Paradiso was in 2018 for Orbital - far cry from Hanabie, I know 😄 But yeah whether it's Paradiso or Melkweg, or even smaller venues that are not in A'dam like Dynamo or Baroeg, I'd love to see them in NL ^^
Despite all the cuteness this music hit like an elephant on a wall of glasses !. You can feel how Hetsu was a bit scared at the beginning but the moment she played... she killed it and was the queen of the pit !
@@RionaSL No fear involved whatsoever :) Hettsu's been doing these for years in Japan, but it's rare these days cause most shows sell out and there's no space on the floor. Btw Hettsu's original nickname was Gattsu (before she changed the first symbol) as in Guts, as in "fearless". I'm not even joking 😁
wow this is my first time hearing of this band but they sound insane!! does anyone know this band's name or if they are on spotify? if they are i will definitely will be checking this awesome band out 🫶🏽🫶🏽
@@Phoenixx_060 Band's called Hanabie. (花冷え) They sound insane because they kinda are lol The song this clip is from is called Run Away (Tousou). They're on Spotify, but you should also sub to their RU-vid channel, cause the MVs are a lot of fun and there's a lot of other stuff as well ;)
Probably my favorite breakdown by anyone. Chika crushes it and really puts this tasty little drop of electronicore over top. She has really proven to be the perfect fit for Hanabie. And she's sooo good.
That's great to hear! Tbh when they first announced that show me and many other fans were unsure how the band is gonna be perceived at what - judging by the lineup - is largely a pop music festival. Even their softest material has this very chaotic and abrasive feel to it, so it was an open question whether the inevitable "WTF" reaction was going to be of the positive or the negative variety 😄
