Jpop + metal + Japan + Faith No More's bass sound + superb pop melodies + death metal growls + girls + not giving a fuck = Dolls Boxx. I LOVE this. Japan is kicking our ass when it comes to pop.
I didn't expect to enjoy this. Well, I did. I am still kind of surprised at how good it all fits together. The harmonic series in this is confusing though. Is the fundamental their voices? The drum? I have no clue.
The magic of youtube. Keeps recommending shit you don’t want well after you’ve gotten annoyed... and it also finds a way to recommend good shit a decade after it was relevant...
From Jun Togawa via Midori to BiS and BABYMETAL and from there to DesuRabbits and Pikarin and Hanako-san, including DOLL$ BOXX . So everything is covered and what lies in between will give me and the rest of mankind a lot of joy in the future. Not giving up Idols. You are extraordinary and definitely on a winning streak and you deserve it.
Putting aside Fuki's devastating voice for a moment, does anyone else get chills from Hana's vocal harmony in the chorus? When you actually pay attention to it it's /so good/.
🙏🤩 I think there were like 10K views on this vid when I first discovered them in 2018. So happy to see more people enjoying these incredible artists and performers! 🇯🇵🤟❤️
Just want to be honest. This is the first song I listen to Fuki. That was 7 years ago. And then I started to follow this band, including Light Bringer, Unlucky Morpheus, Fuki Commune and even Fuki's solo project. My life has changed after that. Fuki is love Fuki is life.
each time i hear this one i remember the first time i heard it, i was doing something else while listening random music and when the song started i've got so blowned up i immediately come to check what that song was just to see the public reaction in the video was just the same xD
This shit is the business. Her vocals are amazing! I'm loving this Kawaii Metal genre. Metal's been long overdue for a new branch and I hope this spreads to western countries as well! Might breath life into music scene.
for what this is worth, wikipedia says it is. btw i suppose by now you'll have heard of babymetal. the release of their debut album in 2014 started the whole kawaii metal thing off
This was so unexpected for me. I love it. I was expecting the typical annoying high-pitched singing voice that seems to be popular in Japan. This was something else. I love it.
Been listening to this for years and still get chills here 1:19, and here 1:24, and here 1:47, and here 1:58 and at so many other points never more than a few seconds apart. Their music and voices have such incredible power!
lol i thought it was obvious what was gonna happen after like thirty seconds... i mean the whole crowd of stereotypical otakus and the "cutesy" ness didn't feel genuine. still, what I wasn't expecting was just how amazing they sound! definitely a new fan. :)
@@brenlouissurio2404 try watching hana play base in her old band "the spade 13" its on RU-vid.. she made me want to stop playing all together. She's that good.

God I miss this band so damn much. One LP and one EP is such a crime. These ladies are incredibly talented, such aces on each instrument. I know Gacharic Spin is essentially the same band with a different singer, but God damn Fuki is freaking incredible. Reminds me of a Japanese Floor Jansen. That power voice is absolutely killer and undeniable. I know she's got Unlucky Morpheus now, but Doll$boxx just had that special charm and sound. Here's to hoping they'll resurrect Doll$boxx some day. 🥲
Man I heard this on the radio like years ago and recorded it onto my mp3 player cause I liked it so much. You have no idea how long I've been looking for the full song since, this shit slaps
I am just blown away by these ladies. It is so exciting that there are so many brilliant and extremely talented Japanese rock bands around. And Doll$box are certainly up there with the best. PS. I love this video.
Very talented musicians and great songs. I especially like how Koga’s unconventional (for rock) slap bass takes Gacharic Spin & Doll$Boxx’s rock/power metal songs to another level - makes them groove! Rock on!
Was watching through visual kei bands and I realised I have never tried looking for female visual kei bands I searched around and the vocals weren't very impressive and I wanted songs with screamo in them This band is GOOD. BLEW ME AWAY COMPLETELY.
The word they were looking for was growling vocals. Some of Fuki's other projects include Fuki Commune, Unlucky Morpheus, and (now defunct) Light Bringer. All excellent.
For those who don't know, Japan has these places, I guess you could call them clubs, where they hold concerts performed by high-school aged girls for the audience consisting of almost entirely men, many of wich have a fetish on high-school girls. (Also to note, there are many stories concerning clubs like that also dealing in prostitution and such.) The concert they perform in the start of (and throughout) the video represents such a place. They seem to want to represent a soullesness of such place in this video, maybe even parody-ing it (with conversations happening in the background in the beginning), but that's just what I got from it first viewing the video. All in all great song.
+TheNeoDaedalus heads up that the rest of this is a train of thought, sorry if there's something inaccurate or something - i don't feel like thinking it through, poke holes if needed be, talk it out and all that. i don't wanna start some ish lol. i feel like that's not exactly what they're going for. idols are one of the big trends in japan right now, based on, if not some sort of individual image, virtually any sort of theme (dancing hip-hop, baseball, not being idols, green onions), as long as it's a bit more about them being particularly cute. with so many around, there's still ample room for girls (ranging from their teens, well into their 20s) aspiring to be idols to be exploited. so you're not wrong, but from how i understand it, it's a bit more obvious than that. i should note that the first translation i could find of this pretty much has it as a "confession to a love interest" song, but we'll focus on the imagery here. the guys in the room are dressed as typical otaku - fogged-up glasses, with plaid button-down shirts seeming to be the closest thing to a fashion statement outside of white t-shirts - along with the specific dressings of wota (idol otaku), the headbands and the glowsticks. the venue itself is the kind of tiny venue you'd expect rookie idol groups to perform in. the ladies are dressed up in very feminine, cute clothing that you'd expect to appeal to guys (twintails, maid outfits, lolita-ish fashion). meanwhile, as we've all noticed, they're taking the audience's expectations and smacking those shocked, frozen men with it until they wake up and realize they like the music (cuteness in an idol is paramount, music quality and singing ability, not as much). so tl;dr, the video's message seems to be "fuck cuteness, like my music bc it's good godammit" - that's what all that was about. the idol industry does have a fuckton of problems, but i doubt king records, which features some of the industry's biggest idol groups at the top of its very youtube channel (AKB48 - which has had some massive scandals that even made international news, and momoiro clover z), would not be likely to permit such obvious criticism.
Vinco I actually agree with you. My comment was more to inform anyone about the existance of such places and cultures, although you did a way better job than me xD Maybe I wasn't clear about it, but I thought the parody.ing was more revolving around the otaku guys rather than the industry itself, which is why I don't find if weird for the company to publish it. (Actually since the comany pampers to these people it still is a criticism of the company, but the people responsible for the censorship are likely too thick to see throught it)
@@Rockero_Loco just discovered Fuki and Unlucky Morpheus. They are amazing, probably one of the best new (to me) bands I've heard in the past 10 years at least, along with Lovebites. Fuki's voice is awesome. The female-led metal coming out of Japan recently is teaching the rest of the world a thing or two about how it should be done. Lovin' it.
you found this on itunes? I've been wanting to get it off of googleplay but I haven't found it. when I typed it in the search on the itunes store I got no results
What the?!... I'm a metal fan and when I saw this I laughed my box off ...the drummer is awesome ...the whole concept is awesome ...I love this riff ...give us more. ...lol.
