Hanabie

Four school friends from Tokyo founded Hanabie. in 2015, initially as a cover band, before they began writing their own songs and shaping their idea of „Harajuku-core“. The result is an unusual mix: Harajuku-inspired aesthetics meet modern metalcore, with elements of hardcore, nu metal, hip-hop, and electronica also appearing throughout their songs. The name Hanabie. translates to „cool spring weather“ and refers to the birthdays of the founding members, which all fall in winter or spring. In 2023, the band entered the Japanese Billboard charts for the first time with „Reborn Superstar!“. Since then, Hanabie. have also taken their music to international stages, including various festivals.
