I was recommended Take My Chance by DOLL$BOXX, and yup, it absolutely kicks butt. Thank you for the recommendation! I'm just sad it's not on Spotify. #DOLLBOXX #TakeMyChance #Reaction Follow me: / timotato
As said before Fuki got one of the most awesome voices in the japanese music world, but i think you noticed when she sing with Unlucky Morpheys. About Doll$boxx, it's a side project from another good band called Gacharin Spin with one Album only. The Gacharin Spin are still alive but with a change since first time, i'm adding videos, before and now :D With first old singer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SXZImsZujPc.html With the drummer as singer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FPHOhw-ArKs.html The modern formation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8hE7XlRkUA.html And the girls are in the field since 2009 :D
Err... You are not recognizing the lead singer? You've seen her recently. It's Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus. Yeah, she has a blonde wig instead of her usual dark hair.
Hah didn't recognize her appearance or her voice at all. I should've read the recommendation better because they clearly stated that it's her. My b! Regardless, she's amazing! 👍
@@TimotatoReacts Fuki has so many styles she can sing in. Try "Juliet - Fuki" or for a ballad "Fuki - Kamisama wa Kitto" www.youtube.be/watch?v=JoyaqSWl9xc (not sure if the link works in the States)
Koga F Choppa (bassist) relit a old flame for me to pick up bass again after many years of just not feeling it, then Misa (BandMaid’s bassist) came along I tip my hat to these beautiful badass woman
Loud Twin Stars is another good one by Doll$Boxx. This song is pretty much a duet with Fuki and Hana (the drummer). The keyboard player growls but you can barely hear it in the mix.
Thanks for the reaction! Loved the lead singers voice, especially when she went high. I liked the music but alot going on and not really clear at times. I will listen to them though.
Thanks for taking a look at the all girl band - DOLL$BOXX - a side project of Gacharic Spin (four musicians) with singer Fuki (the blond). They released an album called DOLLS APARTMENT which is a loose concept album about starting a band and trying to get successful. Monopoly (4th song) is sort of about the singer (Fuki) getting famous and getting a big ego and leaving the others behind. The third song is called "Take my chance" - this is a put-on of what it takes for a new group to make it, playing at small clubs, hoping to attraction attention. It's kind of difficult to put this band into a single category as they play all types of rock. The singer in this project, Fuki, is considered one of the best female rock/metal vocalist around and has worked/working is a lot of different projects. Gacharic Spin started around 2009 with the drummer Hana (Hana Sano - blue hair - she is also the main singer) and the bassist F Chopper Koga (Michiko Koga), guitarist Tomo-zo (Tomoko Midorikawa) and keyboards Oreo Reona. Three of the girls were born in 1986 and the keyboardist in 1988. These four are exceptionally talented musicians. The guitarist and bassist are considered some of the best players in Japan. This is a good live performance to show they're talent and craziness - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1oUxt6R7Zw.html
One of the most funny intro in a MV of all time :D and the group is great then i think that you have to start a new week with them and Gacharin Spin :D And yes, an idol ilve is like that in Japan AND don't forget about Aldious band too ;)
it's very funny indeed but also somewhat serious because it seems it's actually EXACTLY like that, except that large parts of the crowd are often much older than what is shown here from what I've seen sometimes. It's not even unreasonable to think an Idol-band would act EXACTLY like they did in this video in a real live setting....
NewAeonWarlord The video, and in fact whole project (Doll$Boxx) is sarcastically calling out the sexist idol industry as an excuse to druel on developing teens. Their first album has a video series with each song, loosely following the progression of a band thru the business, and half of them are very sarcastic about industry controlling and using them (women/artists)
You already found out the singer is Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus so let me shortly introduce the rest: TOMO-ZO (the guitarist) does EVERYTHING with a smile! She's a tiny little smiling monster on guitar! The slap-beast on Bass is F Chopper Koga, another greatly skilled and inovative player. OreoReona on Keys can keep up with the guitars when it comes to soloing. And Hana, the drummer.... can do everything lol These musicians minus Fuki actually form the band Gacharic Spin (at the time at least, they've added a few members since). Fuki had helped them out when they lost their first singer and apparantly they worked together so well that they formed Doll$boxx (the $ is pronounced as "s") as a project. For another Doll$boxx video I recommend "Shout Down"! Also check out Gacharic Spin of course! Hana and OreoReona took on most of the lead-vocal duties in that band after their first singer, Armmy, left (and sadly died later) and they added dancers to make up for the loss of a centerstage vocalist live. They have upgraded the lineup since though. They actualy got a new drummer so Hana was able to move to centerstage and do vocals an rythm-guitar and they also added another performer/vocalist. The live shows are insanely energetic. Every one of those ladies seems ready to explode at any given time. For Gacharic Spin songs, check out for example: "赤裸ライアー live", "Gold Dash" or "Next Stage" live (just don't start with Next Stage live maybe since its a bit of a special performance not representative their usual stage setup)
Darryl Willie , yes, and Koga was in Pink Panda (called BLiSTAR since she left in 08-09), and TomoZo’s pre Euphoria band made TV when she was 16, and Hana was in multiple prior bands, at 33 she just celebrated a 20th anniversary concert of being a signed artist). Fuki has been on over 90 releases in 12 years, that’s an album every 7 weeks since she was about 19 (yet the first five years were actually indie with light bringer), so, more like an release per month since... slightly popular...
Lol another one goes to Spotify; which I do too, I have tons of Japanese bands on my Spotify :) Actually the singer is Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus, this is her side project band with Gacharic Spin. You should also checkout her other band(former) Lightbringer and her solo with guest bandmates MVs.
Fuki has been around for years. Started out with Dragon Guardian it is really hard to find CD's of that band. Light Bringer is a little easier though. I do have DollsBoxx CD, just started listening to it again. It pronounced "Dolls Boxx". Fuki also has "Fuki Commune, and of course, Unlucky Morpheus. Tomo(gtr), she plays for Gacharic Spin too. She is, I do believe one of the founding members. She came over Eu-Phoria, along with keyboardist Reona. Hana(Drums), and Koga(Bass) is an original member of Gacharic Spin, and Founding member of DollsBoxx.. When I got into them Arrmy was singing then. she left due to personal issues. Next thing, I hear is Fuki is in DollsBoxx. The CD Kicks ass!
Thanks for getting on that one so quickly--it's funny you missed the Fuki connection. Check the other recommendations I left on Angreifer--they're all Fuki, and all killer. Yes, lots of other Doll$Boxx on RU-vid--here's one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nH4TEyJwpm4.html
Liked the reaction, Hi-Spec is the more recent EP by the band. The maid clothes relate to the maid cafe scene, but predate Band-Maid by a year. Was it an inspiration - nobody has ever said so, but one wonders. The four musicians are from gacharic Spin, an outfit which has changed it's line-up a bit over the years but the core remains the same. Here's a couple of links to live performances from their 10th year tour show : Next Stage (with 2 drummers) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1o2srnF-QfM.html ; Juicy Beats (with two guitarists ) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xVA28Qjp_Jo.html . Gacharic Spin are a hugely entertaining, fun and highly energetic band. Enjoy.
I think you're ready now to experience Maximum The Hormone .. probably one of the wildest japanese Bands out there Maximum The Hormone - Yoshu Fukushu MV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XeN3ivzzwbA.html
As others have said Doll$boxx is a mix of Gacharic Spin and Fuki. They 1st got together when Gacharic Spin were on tour, they were having problems with their singer not turning up to concerts and practices. So near the start of one tour they had had enough and when on TV, and said that if anyone knew their songs contact them, and they could come on the tour with them. Well Fuki got in contact with them as she knew all their songs and ended up doing some of the tour with them. They all enjoyed it so much, they decided to form Doll$Boxx, who have a bit of a heavier sound than Gacharic Spin. Gacharic Spin some times do stuff under the name Metallic Spin, which covers classic metal songs, which they use a male singer. Spotlight Kid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iBWkWeknJco.html I think if Tomo-zo (guitar) ever stops smiling the sun will go out. Another Doll$Boxx song for you Loud Twin Stars (with a translation) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tl4QNXnE-XU.html
Things he noticed: They’re cute, Hana’s Guns, TomoZo smiles a lot while tapping on PaulReedSmith, Fuki’s range, that they’re playlist worthy, and that his guitar pinched his Pistachios enuff to sing Take On Me. Things he didn’t notice: Hana was growling English (“You think you can beat on me?!”, etc), Fuki is same Fuki from Unlucky Morpheus, lame dudes expecting preening were blown away by their rock, and that bass, keys, and multiple vox lines are their secret weapons Interesting call, Iwrestledabearonce, really hard to categorize, someone once noticed Republica. They really just throw every idea into every song, way overproduced in that sense, but means you hear something new every time and shows they love their “work” So Hana is a musical savant, signed at thirteen, plays every instrument. Agreed to learn drums for this band so that Japanese leading funkrock bassist Koga wouldn’t quit, initially attracted Japan’s only (at the time, 2009) woman shredder Eita to form a band doing Armmy(rip)’s sexy lyrics over Hana’s synth track playback, viola, Gacharic Spin. Three years later, backing keyboardist Oreo gets young TomoZo on guitar, Fuki & Arrmy come and go (& maid outfits make this vid popular 6months before BandMaid’s conception, hmmm), recently add new young drummer, Hana becomes a kickboxing 2ndguitar front woman and they’re currently on their fourth high schooler as lead-dancer/performer/co-vocalist. Their 2020 album Gold Dash was written (commissioned?) to support Paralympic athletes, positive (if sarcastic) vocals being Hana’s strength (Armmy’s sexy lyrics were only 2009-11; Fuki’s Literature nerd fantasy lyrics were only Doll$Boxx releases: 2012&2017. They were separate labels, first one is on RU-vid but not Spotify). So check out single Gold Dash, the multiple time signature switching without losing pop appeal reminds me of Rush... as often in japan, some lyrics are in English; as often in Hana’s world, it’s in the callback and breakdown vocals... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l8hE7XlRkUA.html or to see this newest lineup live, try Juicy Beats, a sexy old Arrmy tune (“turn me on”, “satisfaction”, but remember, pinkhaired 75lb Angie juuust turned 18) that they changed from synth rave to their current heavier but eclectic big-stage entertainment style ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xVA28Qjp_Jo.html (brought it down one step for the vocals, then a full octave on the instruments, then gave the first half of the already prog breakdown over to intimate piano, and let the new drummer do... whatever she wants...)
Koga is one of a long list of really good Japanese female bassists. Her, Misa (Band-Maid), Nohana (Stereopony), Tomomi (Scandal), Haru (Bridear), Miho (Lovebites), and on and on.
Speaking of Kevin Bacon, the connections between Japanese bands is like the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon, Destrose, and Mary's Blood and Lovebites and Fate Gear. Check out Headless Goddess by either Destrose or Fate Gear, or Megabullets.
Next band should be Gacharic Spin of course. It's the same band without Fuki plus two (or more) dancers/performers. Broken Lover is a great live performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yVTp3SESzpY.html. In general they are an amazing live band. Like a bunch of Energizer Bunnies running around on the stage.
This link^^^, the almost-controlled chaos, is what sold me on this bunch of hysterical high school punks, it’s a show, crowd is under complete control, there’s two synth parts and only one player, who’s literally standing on the keyboards, guitar like mud, kids (literally high school performer members, I think they’d been in the band 2yrs by then, so 17yrold?) running around as if cheerleading, everybody yelling at everybody else, but catchy, written specifically for them by a member of BabyMetal, a even a smooth breakdown, so they can build you up and slam you harder next time. Too much fun, it mocks true metalers... then you try to play it and realize it’s not a throwaway piece either, not off the charts, but while grinning and bouncing? Love these crazy chicks
Thanks for checking this out, incredible band and song! Unfortunately the album this is off was with KING records who although chill about reaction videos isn't onboard with Spotify yet. If you want to try more DOLL$BOXX I'd recommend the following: Omacha no Heitai (Toy Soldier): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZWJk5oEULf8.html - killer guitar solo in this one Monopoly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BZhuzMmO03o.html - trading vocal lines between drummer and singer and some awesome drumming Drum Solo + Black Survival (Live): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5u5BZnTe6zQ.html - technically this is a Gacharic Spin song with Fuki appearing to provide guest vocals but it's been fully adopted by DOLL$BOXX nowadays and is only performed at DOLL$BOXX show's.
Made me laugh that you start out talking about unlucky morpheus then didn't realize it's the same singer. I know it's been touched on but it still made me laugh
1. I always hated Take Me On. But I'll overlook that little display. 🤠 2. A million pardons for holding out on you! If you haven't already, you really gotta check out a trio called Asterism. Shocker: They're from Fukuoka Japan. Formed when they were ~12, 13 & 16. brothers Mio & Miyu play drums & bass, Haruka (Hal-Ca) plays gee-tar. Here's #1 in a series of recent "stay home" jams. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y2tVrdNMi4c.html Here's 1 of my favorite named songs: Dawn: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zTMwICTO5Bg.html Tip: take advantage of the 360 degrees VR
You should try songs of ASTERISM, Sokoninaru(そこに鳴る), Ningenisu(人間椅子) and maximum the hormone(マキシマム ザ ホルモン)! They are the Japanese hard rock/heavy metal bands.
NO!! The music video isn't even the half of the live version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GiWSW8YkBfs.html . Please also check out their guitarist (Tomo-Zo) guitar solo from the same DVD ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-50-0T6Twi_Q.html .
Thanks for making up for all my loser friends/acquaintances/relatives who don't appreciate the pearls I put before them in the form of J-Rock. Fun watching you dig this vid & adding your pro insights. If you're not totally drained, here's a high-energy live performance by a 10-yr-old band, Gacharic Spin, composed of DOLL$BOXX minus Fuki and plus a couple of new members: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1o2srnF-QfM.html
My favorite youtube comment is on this video: "I wasn't ready" Personally I find the arrangements from them are a mess. Way too much going on at any one time with the keyboards, guitars, high vocal notes while the death metal growl tries to overwhelm them all. That said, this one brings a smile to my face every time I see it. And super props to Hana (the Drummer) for her musical versatility. She plays more than drums, and she can and does sing lead when Fuki isn't around.
Hana does soooo much, i saw gacharic spin in Houston last year and she was changing instruments damn near every song. They're all crazy friendly too. Koga is a straight up legend too
Tomo-ZO the guitar player is amazing. Search her name on RU-vid and you can find some stuff that showcases her talent and skill better than this piece does. Here are some good samples of some of her solos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5mZVcY4RGL4.html
