THE GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED GIRLS BAND
YUKINA AND MATSURI DISCUSS 'WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE TOURING OVERSEAS'
2
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:11,111
interfm "TOKYO MUSIC RADAR"
3
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:16,316
Tonight's guests are from the Tokyo-based
girls' loud rock band Hanabie,
4
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:20,186
vocalist Yukina and
guitarist/vocalist Matsuri!
5
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:22,655
Thanks for having us!
6
00:00:22,655 --> 00:00:24,324
This is our first time meeting!
7
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:27,927
I think you performed at
8
00:00:27,927 --> 00:00:31,865
TIMM's YouTube showcase
live back in 2022?
9
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:35,035
I usually perform with
a group called Nagie Lane,
10
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:36,202
and we were there the same day
11
00:00:37,570 --> 00:00:39,305
in the studio.
12
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,908
So we've actually met before.
13
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:45,412
We probably didn't get
a chance to say hello though.
14
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:45,812
Right.
15
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:47,147
That's true.
16
00:00:47,147 --> 00:00:48,915
We were switching on and off constantly.
17
00:00:48,915 --> 00:00:49,983
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:51,451
It was pretty hectic.
19
00:00:52,018 --> 00:00:53,820
Couldn't really watch each other.
20
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:56,289
But I watched you on YouTube!
21
00:00:56,289 --> 00:00:58,391
So yeah.
22
00:00:58,391 --> 00:00:59,292
Thank you so much.
23
00:00:59,793 --> 00:01:02,462
I'm really happy we
finally get to meet today.
24
00:01:02,462 --> 00:01:03,930
Thanks for being here.
25
00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:05,265
Thank you.
26
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:08,868
Let me give you a quick introduction.
27
00:01:08,868 --> 00:01:11,504
Based in Tokyo,
28
00:01:11,504 --> 00:01:14,774
the four-piece band consisting of
Yukina, Matsuri, Hettsu, and Chika
29
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:19,512
creates loud rock that fuses
screaming with melody.
30
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:23,349
They successfully completed
a European tour in 2023
31
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:27,554
and have performed at numerous
overseas festivals.
32
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:31,057
So from 2023 onwards,
33
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:34,794
you've really been all over Europe!
34
00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:35,662
Yes.
35
00:01:37,063 --> 00:01:37,664
How's it been?
36
00:01:37,664 --> 00:01:42,535
We'll talk more about Europe
in detail later,
37
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:44,003
but right now you're really
38
00:01:44,237 --> 00:01:47,474
traveling all over the world.
39
00:01:47,474 --> 00:01:51,945
I'd love to hear more from you two
about your European experiences.
40
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:54,814
We'll get into that later,
41
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:59,285
but first, Hanabie is celebrating
their 10th anniversary this year!
42
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:00,320
Congratulations!
43
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,155
Thank you!
44
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:03,289
How does it feel?
45
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,292
Looking back, what kind
of 10 years was it?
46
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:10,563
Has it really been 10 years already?
47
00:02:11,364 --> 00:02:13,800
The beginning was
48
00:02:13,833 --> 00:02:18,438
we formed this band
when we were in high school.
49
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:19,205
So,
50
00:02:20,173 --> 00:02:24,277
we went through our student days,
51
00:02:24,277 --> 00:02:27,480
college days, working
part-time jobs on the side,
52
00:02:28,047 --> 00:02:32,652
and now we've gotten to make
our major debut, tour overseas...
53
00:02:32,652 --> 00:02:36,356
There have been so many
different phases.
54
00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:39,993
But looking back, it all
went by so fast, right?
55
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:41,561
Looking back, yeah.
56
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:46,466
We've been through a lot, but it
really feels like it flew by.
57
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:49,702
And since you've been together
since high school,
58
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:52,972
your relationship
59
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:57,443
probably hasn't changed much?
Still that same vibe?
60
00:02:58,011 --> 00:02:59,179
That's right.
61
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:00,013
Exactly.
62
00:03:00,013 --> 00:03:06,553
It honestly feels like we were
just going to school together yesterday.
63
00:03:06,786 --> 00:03:10,390
Sometimes it really has that energy.
64
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:14,561
Like "Oh, Matsuri likes this too!"
65
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:17,964
We just get each other.
66
00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:21,634
That's wonderful. 10 years
with that relationship.
67
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:26,372
Even though time flew by, I'm sure
a lot happened during those 10 years.
68
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:28,474
The vision you had for Hanabie
69
00:03:28,741 --> 00:03:32,312
10 years ago compared to now,
how does it match up?
70
00:03:32,312 --> 00:03:36,049
Were there differences? Or maybe
opportunities to perform
71
00:03:36,182 --> 00:03:40,086
in places you never imagined
you'd be standing?
72
00:03:40,086 --> 00:03:42,488
Any discoveries like that?
73
00:03:42,488 --> 00:03:47,560
I don't know if Matsuri remembers this,
74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,433
but back in high school I had
this notebook where I wrote
75
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:56,703
all our goals down.
76
00:03:56,703 --> 00:04:00,240
Like "I want to share the
stage with Maximum the Hormone"
77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,942
or "I want to play tons
of Japanese festivals."
78
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:06,312
Among all the things I wrote,
79
00:04:06,312 --> 00:04:10,750
I had "I want to become the
queen of Japanese loud rock."
80
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:15,021
That's still a dream we're
working toward,
81
00:04:15,021 --> 00:04:17,390
but the things I wrote down back then,
82
00:04:17,790 --> 00:04:21,761
like performing with
Maximum the Hormone,
83
00:04:21,761 --> 00:04:25,164
SiM, coldrain,
84
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:30,803
all these senior bands we looked up to,
85
00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:35,541
we've been fortunate enough to perform
with them more and more lately.
86
00:04:36,075 --> 00:04:39,345
Speaking things into existence, you know?
87
00:04:39,345 --> 00:04:42,382
Writing it all down like that,
88
00:04:42,382 --> 00:04:46,052
now I look back and think
"Oh yeah, I wrote that!"
89
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:50,623
We were fearless back then.
90
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:51,291
At the time.
91
00:04:51,991 --> 00:04:54,594
We thought we could do anything.
92
00:04:54,594 --> 00:04:55,094
True.
93
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:58,464
But we never thought
we'd go overseas.
94
00:04:58,464 --> 00:05:01,634
Honestly, we barely
even talked about it.
95
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:06,606
We couldn't picture it at all,
so we were all focused on Japan.
96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,779
So we're really experiencing
something incredible.
97
00:05:12,779 --> 00:05:15,815
When staff first told you
"You're playing live in Europe,"
98
00:05:16,582 --> 00:05:20,318
what was your reaction?
99
00:05:20,318 --> 00:05:22,204
"We can actually go?"
100
00:05:22,204 --> 00:05:24,054
"Really?" Like that.
101
00:05:24,132 --> 00:05:25,325
"Are you sure?"
102
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,827
"We don't have many English lyrics..."
103
00:05:27,827 --> 00:05:31,531
Most of our lyrics are in Japanese.
104
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:33,333
Right.
105
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:35,268
"Will they even listen?"
106
00:05:36,135 --> 00:05:37,270
Like, "Huh?"
107
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:39,972
"Will they actually get it?"
108
00:05:39,972 --> 00:05:42,308
We definitely had those
worries at first.
109
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:46,979
Even on social media back then,
most of the reactions
110
00:05:46,979 --> 00:05:50,850
were from Japanese fans, right?
That was your main audience?
111
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:55,321
On YouTube comment sections though,
112
00:05:55,922 --> 00:05:58,991
we were getting messages
113
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:03,096
from people in all kinds of countries.
114
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:06,699
They were talking about us,
but we'd never met them
115
00:06:06,699 --> 00:06:08,568
or played shows for them,
116
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:10,970
so it didn't feel real at all.
117
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:14,340
It was just like "Wow,
the numbers keep growing!"
118
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:16,509
Yeah.
119
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:18,678
Plus we had to translate everything
120
00:06:18,678 --> 00:06:22,315
to understand what people
were saying in different languages.
121
00:06:22,315 --> 00:06:23,416
So you had to translate it all.
122
00:06:23,416 --> 00:06:26,419
Going through each comment like
"Oh, they're saying this!"
123
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:28,154
"That's so nice."
124
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,089
But it kind of ended there, right?
125
00:06:30,089 --> 00:06:31,491
Just "that's nice."
126
00:06:31,491 --> 00:06:35,094
Never imagined we'd actually
get to meet them.
127
00:06:35,328 --> 00:06:37,130
We were so happy when we could go.
128
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:38,164
When we finally made it.
129
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:38,931
That's your skill!
130
00:06:38,931 --> 00:06:42,168
Your staff definitely believed
in Hanabie's ability
131
00:06:42,168 --> 00:06:45,037
to make it work over there.
132
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:48,141
That's real talent, no doubt.
133
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:49,242
Thank you.
134
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:55,715
And on May 28th, 2025, to celebrate
your 10th anniversary,
135
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:59,552
you released a new single
"Spicy Queen" digitally!
136
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,354
Congratulations!
137
00:07:01,354 --> 00:07:04,056
What kind of song is it?
138
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:06,859
We released it for the 10th anniversary,
139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,195
but actually
140
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:12,265
we didn't start making it
141
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:15,701
specifically for the anniversary.
142
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:19,439
Right before this, in March and April,
143
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,407
we did an American tour,
144
00:07:21,407 --> 00:07:25,945
and the inspiration we got from that
145
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:31,217
became this song that we realized
was perfect for the 10th anniversary.
146
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:33,186
It captures that initial drive,
147
00:07:33,753 --> 00:07:37,156
remembering the old days
before we went overseas.
148
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:39,759
We really poured our hearts into it.
149
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:44,430
All four members have
deep feelings for this track.
150
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:48,401
It really came together beautifully.
151
00:07:48,501 --> 00:07:50,436
We were actually on tour
152
00:07:50,436 --> 00:07:53,539
and tours mean shows every day,
153
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:57,143
but when we had two days off,
154
00:07:57,143 --> 00:08:00,713
I'd go all-out shopping,
155
00:08:00,713 --> 00:08:06,052
but Matsuri would be like
"I want to write songs."
156
00:08:06,052 --> 00:08:07,220
Do you bring your equipment?
157
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,921
I bring it all.
158
00:08:08,921 --> 00:08:15,695
I'm not good at forcing creativity
when I tell myself "let's make something!"
159
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:16,762
I see.
160
00:08:16,762 --> 00:08:19,398
I have to act when inspiration hits.
161
00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:20,900
You need to be ready right away.
162
00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:25,238
I don't make progress otherwise,
so I bring everything,
163
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:30,877
and during that tour, I suddenly
felt like creating something,
164
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:32,945
so that's when I made it.
165
00:08:32,945 --> 00:08:36,782
So that became the foundation,
and everyone built on it together?
166
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,819
Did you discuss it during the tour?
167
00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:43,089
Like listening to the song together?
168
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:43,990
We did.
169
00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:47,260
Talking about what kind of
song we wanted it to be.
170
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:49,228
At that point it was just the music,
171
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:51,597
no lyrics yet,
172
00:08:51,597 --> 00:08:53,466
but I explained the direction I wanted,
173
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:55,568
and when I told everyone,
174
00:08:55,568 --> 00:08:58,304
they said "This is perfect
for the 10th anniversary!"
175
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,807
Everyone agreed immediately.
176
00:09:01,807 --> 00:09:02,975
That's how it happened.
177
00:09:02,975 --> 00:09:03,879
That's wonderful.
178
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:08,114
At first you weren't thinking of making
it the 10th anniversary song,
179
00:09:08,114 --> 00:09:10,883
but after all that inspiration
you got from being there,
180
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:14,620
all four of you unanimously agreed
this was the perfect fit.
181
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:17,123
You created something we could
all stand behind.
182
00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:18,591
Amazing! That's fantastic!
183
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:24,935
Now, this show's concept is
"Bringing Japanese Music Overseas,"
184
00:09:24,935 --> 00:09:26,065
This July,
185
00:09:26,098 --> 00:09:29,068
at the end of this month,
186
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:33,739
you're heading out on tour across
America and Europe!
187
00:09:34,507 --> 00:09:35,641
It's finally here!
188
00:09:35,641 --> 00:09:37,476
How are preparations going?
189
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:38,911
Well...
190
00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:42,181
We just talked about going
to America in March and April,
191
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:45,184
so it's becoming a regular thing.
192
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:47,153
It feels like
193
00:09:47,153 --> 00:09:49,822
going to Nagoya now!
194
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:50,856
Wow!
195
00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:52,992
That's not quite right, is it!?
196
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:54,560
I said it, but
197
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,897
it's like going to Nagoya or Osaka.
198
00:09:57,897 --> 00:09:59,198
We've gotten used to it.
199
00:09:59,198 --> 00:09:59,832
That's how comfortable it feels.
200
00:10:00,032 --> 00:10:03,269
At first, those long flights
201
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:06,238
15, 16 hours from Japan.
202
00:10:06,238 --> 00:10:09,508
The environmental differences,
203
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:12,545
things we weren't used to,
204
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:15,982
but in the third year,
you get accustomed to it.
205
00:10:15,982 --> 00:10:16,582
Amazing!
206
00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:18,384
The shows are exciting, but
207
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:20,152
the food!
208
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,220
So excited!
209
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:23,923
I love buying clothes,
210
00:10:24,123 --> 00:10:25,458
often going with everyone.
211
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:28,561
I love shopping so much.
212
00:10:28,561 --> 00:10:29,862
It's the best!
213
00:10:29,862 --> 00:10:33,366
Right now I'm checking where
to go and which stores to visit.
214
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:36,669
Planning what to buy!
215
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:38,638
Thinking it all through.
216
00:10:39,872 --> 00:10:41,007
Got to make the most of it!
217
00:10:41,007 --> 00:10:42,842
Since you're visiting so many places.
218
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:48,447
Actually, I lived in Vienna, Austria
when I was little,
219
00:10:48,648 --> 00:10:51,617
I think you have been to Vienna too.
220
00:10:51,617 --> 00:10:53,219
Specifically,
221
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:55,287
have you ever had Wiener schnitzel?
222
00:10:56,822 --> 00:10:58,758
It's called Wiener schnitzel,
223
00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:00,092
Vienna's cutlet.
224
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,229
We probably haven't had cutlet.
225
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,966
Please try Wiener schnitzel!
226
00:11:07,199 --> 00:11:08,834
Vienna's schnitzel,
227
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,036
it's veal cutlet.
228
00:11:10,036 --> 00:11:12,338
I want to try it!
229
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,406
It's so delicious!
230
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:13,906
Really!
231
00:11:13,906 --> 00:11:16,275
I think I've heard of it before.
232
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:17,009
Yeah.
233
00:11:18,544 --> 00:11:21,180
Do you know about Heurige?
234
00:11:21,180 --> 00:11:23,649
Heurige is a type of restaurant
235
00:11:23,649 --> 00:11:25,317
in Austria and Germany too.
236
00:11:25,317 --> 00:11:28,921
Usually terrace seating where
everyone can drink beer together.
237
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:30,523
Wine too, any alcohol really.
238
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,491
In Vienna, you can usually get
239
00:11:32,491 --> 00:11:36,896
Wiener schnitzel with a huge
stein of beer!
240
00:11:37,596 --> 00:11:38,096
That's the vibe.
241
00:11:38,164 --> 00:11:39,665
Who cares about calories!
242
00:11:39,665 --> 00:11:40,866
That kind of combo
243
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:42,101
is pretty common,
244
00:11:42,101 --> 00:11:43,769
so please try that if you can!
245
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:45,204
It definitely pairs well with beer!
246
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:45,704
It's great!
247
00:11:46,172 --> 00:11:47,673
I want to eat it!
248
00:11:47,673 --> 00:11:50,743
Please make some time off!
249
00:11:52,678 --> 00:11:54,780
That's quite a packed schedule!
250
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:56,515
Where are you touring this time?
251
00:11:56,515 --> 00:11:57,750
This time,
252
00:11:57,750 --> 00:12:01,921
well, the summer festival tour,
253
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:03,956
the European festival tour,
254
00:12:03,956 --> 00:12:07,827
Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Italy, Spain,
255
00:12:08,461 --> 00:12:13,566
Czech Republic, Hungary,
Serbia, Slovenia, Netherlands.
256
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:16,168
That's incredible again!
257
00:12:16,168 --> 00:12:18,410
Basically crossing all of Europe!
258
00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:19,004
Pretty much.
259
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:19,839
Yeah.
260
00:12:21,173 --> 00:12:21,774
What about you, Yukina?
261
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:23,676
Which stores do you want to visit?
262
00:12:23,676 --> 00:12:25,778
Like specific places in certain countries?
263
00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:27,313
My favorite is
264
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:32,118
"Urban Outfitters" in America.
265
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:35,621
They have lots of
different types of clothes,
266
00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:37,323
and various goods.
267
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:38,591
They even sell records!
268
00:12:39,625 --> 00:12:42,261
The clothes there
269
00:12:42,261 --> 00:12:43,662
are totally my style.
270
00:12:43,662 --> 00:12:46,432
In Europe, there's MANGO.
271
00:12:47,533 --> 00:12:49,502
I love MANGO!
272
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,270
What's MANGO again?
273
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:54,306
It's kind of like ZARA,
274
00:12:54,807 --> 00:12:57,843
but more unique than ZARA.
275
00:12:57,843 --> 00:13:00,112
The patterns are more distinctive.
276
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,213
Colorful ZARA!
277
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:02,748
I know what you mean!
278
00:13:04,917 --> 00:13:08,521
Also local places, not chains,
279
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:12,558
vintage shops in the cities,
I want to visit lots of those!
280
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:14,193
Nice!
281
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:17,463
Matsuri, are you focusing
on anything specific?
282
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:25,004
In Europe, when I went
to France before,
283
00:13:25,838 --> 00:13:28,841
there was this street with
284
00:13:29,942 --> 00:13:32,878
adorable little shops lined up!
285
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:35,548
I don't remember the store names,
286
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:39,785
but it was pretty close
to the Eiffel Tower.
287
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:46,392
I want to go back there and buy
all kinds of cute things!
288
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:47,660
I want to go!
289
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:49,762
Their goods are definitely adorable!
290
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:53,899
Last time I only bought a coffee
cup saucer and came home.
291
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:56,969
Now I wish I'd have bought the cup too!
292
00:13:56,969 --> 00:13:58,704
The matching set.
293
00:13:58,704 --> 00:13:59,738
Just the saucer for now.
294
00:13:59,738 --> 00:14:02,241
Using the saucer for small items.
295
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:03,843
You can put rings on it!
296
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,811
But I really want the cup too.
297
00:14:06,445 --> 00:14:09,348
Maybe they'll still have it
when you go back?
298
00:14:09,849 --> 00:14:11,116
Please check that place out!
299
00:14:11,116 --> 00:14:15,421
And since you all manage
your own social media,
300
00:14:15,421 --> 00:14:18,691
fans are probably getting to know
301
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:22,428
not just your music, but also
the countries you visit.
302
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:25,664
They're probably learning more and more,
303
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:29,034
like "Oh, Yukina wants to go here!"
304
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:31,904
That place becomes a "Yukina spot."
305
00:14:31,904 --> 00:14:33,806
It might turn into that!
306
00:14:33,806 --> 00:14:37,509
Actually, once on social media,
that Urban Outfitters store
307
00:14:37,509 --> 00:14:41,013
I mentioned before,
308
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,782
someone sent me photos of it,
309
00:14:43,782 --> 00:14:45,551
like "This is Yukina's favorite store!"
310
00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:48,454
They're totally keeping track!
311
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:49,455
Fans are amazing!
312
00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:52,057
It's really getting through to everyone!
313
00:14:52,591 --> 00:14:56,228
Actually, today I'm wearing Urban
Outfitters from head to toe!
314
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:58,430
So cute! Really cute!
315
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:00,866
With the tiger detail!
316
00:15:00,866 --> 00:15:03,669
Everyone better buy lots!
317
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:05,762
Really!
318
00:15:05,762 --> 00:15:06,405
Nice!
319
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:07,373
It's scary though!
320
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:09,408
Excited but also scared to go!
321
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:12,177
You might come back with
an extra suitcase!
322
00:15:13,712 --> 00:15:14,947
Thank you!
323
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:18,784
So those are the off-day activities,
324
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:21,520
but actually performing overseas,
325
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,956
is it different from Japan?
326
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:26,525
Any particularly memorable moments?
327
00:15:26,525 --> 00:15:29,061
I'd love to hear about that too.
328
00:15:29,061 --> 00:15:31,030
Were there specific countries?
329
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:35,267
Reactions really differ by country.
330
00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:38,771
Europe, America, Japan,
331
00:15:39,872 --> 00:15:41,240
Australia,
332
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,909
and we've been to Asia too,
333
00:15:43,909 --> 00:15:47,613
but especially within Europe,
334
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:51,483
Italy is so passionate!
335
00:15:51,483 --> 00:15:52,384
The energy level!
336
00:15:52,384 --> 00:15:52,851
It was amazing!
337
00:15:52,851 --> 00:15:56,755
Like fire's coming from somewhere!
338
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:58,357
That level of heat?
339
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:00,225
Just like "WOAH!"
340
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,697
Poland was kind of like that too!
341
00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:06,999
Surprising, Poland too?
342
00:16:06,999 --> 00:16:11,503
I found it surprising too,
but it was like a sauna!
343
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:13,339
Seriously intense!
344
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:17,443
Europe has a lot of sauna-like venues!
345
00:16:17,443 --> 00:16:18,377
Really?
346
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:22,181
Hot and humid, everyone's energy
347
00:16:23,115 --> 00:16:26,118
stays in the room even after they leave!
348
00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:29,755
That level of intensity!
349
00:16:31,803 --> 00:16:33,343
Germany, for example,
350
00:16:33,343 --> 00:16:37,173
they love heavy music,
351
00:16:38,413 --> 00:16:40,743
so everyone's really hardcore.
352
00:16:40,743 --> 00:16:43,483
Those intense songs really hit with them.
353
00:16:43,483 --> 00:16:45,853
Different songs for different tastes.
354
00:16:46,283 --> 00:16:48,823
The vibe varies by place!
355
00:16:48,823 --> 00:16:51,123
So in Germany you'd include certain songs?
356
00:16:51,453 --> 00:16:52,523
The setlist changes?
357
00:16:52,523 --> 00:16:54,423
It changes quite a bit!
358
00:16:54,423 --> 00:16:55,693
Really? That's interesting!
359
00:16:55,693 --> 00:16:59,833
Even in America, east coast
and west coast feel different!
360
00:17:01,403 --> 00:17:04,433
Do you all plan the
setlist together each time?
361
00:17:04,603 --> 00:17:05,273
We do it ourselves!
362
00:17:05,273 --> 00:17:05,933
Yes! That's right!
363
00:17:06,333 --> 00:17:08,373
So depending on the country,
364
00:17:08,473 --> 00:17:12,543
MC timing, making decisions and changes.
Interesting!
365
00:17:13,813 --> 00:17:16,513
After touring multiple times,
366
00:17:16,513 --> 00:17:17,513
we're gradually
367
00:17:17,513 --> 00:17:18,813
starting to figure it out.
368
00:17:18,813 --> 00:17:21,983
The first time we went,
369
00:17:22,523 --> 00:17:27,863
both the audience and us were
kind of feeling each other out.
370
00:17:28,423 --> 00:17:31,793
Like 'Ohhh!' that kind of vibe.
371
00:17:31,793 --> 00:17:35,433
Now, even though reactions differ by song,
372
00:17:35,433 --> 00:17:39,733
it feels more similar to Japanese crowds actually!
373
00:17:41,173 --> 00:17:41,943
I feel that too!
374
00:17:41,943 --> 00:17:47,483
How they get hyped, maybe they watch videos of our Japan shows?
375
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:49,913
They might be doing that.
376
00:17:49,913 --> 00:17:51,113
In Japan,
377
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:54,853
what's the most characteristic way crowds get hyped?
378
00:17:54,853 --> 00:17:57,653
Japan has tons of crowd surfing!
379
00:17:58,123 --> 00:17:59,293
Really?
380
00:17:59,293 --> 00:18:02,463
People swimming over the crowd,
381
00:18:02,523 --> 00:18:05,333
heading toward the stage.
382
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:06,263
I see!
383
00:18:06,263 --> 00:18:12,333
Compared to Europe and America, Japan probably has way more!
384
00:18:12,333 --> 00:18:13,073
That's surprising!
385
00:18:13,073 --> 00:18:16,373
And more than anywhere, everyone's facial expressions
386
00:18:17,613 --> 00:18:18,913
are intense!
387
00:18:18,913 --> 00:18:19,513
In Japan?
388
00:18:19,513 --> 00:18:22,513
So desperate!
389
00:18:23,113 --> 00:18:25,953
In that sense, Japan's passionate too!
390
00:18:25,953 --> 00:18:26,853
Japan too!
391
00:18:26,853 --> 00:18:28,853
Incredibly so!
392
00:18:28,853 --> 00:18:29,583
That's unexpected!
393
00:18:29,583 --> 00:18:32,023
You often hear that Japan's a bit, how do I say,
394
00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:33,493
a shy culture.
395
00:18:33,863 --> 00:18:34,423
People say that!
396
00:18:34,423 --> 00:18:35,593
More reserved, right?
397
00:18:35,593 --> 00:18:37,133
In terms of national character.
398
00:18:37,433 --> 00:18:39,433
But at live shows,
399
00:18:39,433 --> 00:18:40,233
everyone goes wild!
400
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:41,063
That gap is amazing!
401
00:18:42,003 --> 00:18:42,933
The contrast is really something!
402
00:18:42,933 --> 00:18:44,973
Unexpectedly!
403
00:18:45,973 --> 00:18:46,943
Europe's energy, the cheering,
404
00:18:46,943 --> 00:18:49,503
the volume is just incredible!
405
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:53,843
Reactions are really big!
406
00:18:54,243 --> 00:18:55,513
They sing along too!
407
00:18:55,513 --> 00:18:58,013
I performed in Germany once,
408
00:18:58,013 --> 00:19:01,623
and Germans sing along
the moment they know a song!
409
00:19:01,623 --> 00:19:05,493
In Japanese or whatever!
410
00:19:05,493 --> 00:19:07,593
Like 'Is this it?' and
they're singing along!
411
00:19:07,593 --> 00:19:11,163
That attitude!
412
00:19:11,163 --> 00:19:12,993
Yes, absolutely!
413
00:19:12,993 --> 00:19:14,333
Group sing-along parts,
414
00:19:14,363 --> 00:19:16,873
and even my super fast rap sections!
415
00:19:16,873 --> 00:19:20,403
The really fast parts, girls
416
00:19:21,143 --> 00:19:24,173
and guys too,
417
00:19:24,173 --> 00:19:25,713
everyone singing along!
418
00:19:25,713 --> 00:19:27,983
'Wait, you can rap that!?'
419
00:19:27,983 --> 00:19:29,883
And they're actually nailing it!
420
00:19:29,983 --> 00:19:32,013
Exactly!
421
00:19:32,013 --> 00:19:32,783
Not just going with the flow!
422
00:19:32,783 --> 00:19:34,083
Moving like crazy!
423
00:19:34,083 --> 00:19:35,323
Perfectly saying it!
424
00:19:35,323 --> 00:19:36,453
In Japanese?
That's right!
425
00:19:36,453 --> 00:19:37,353
My Japanese rap parts,
426
00:19:37,353 --> 00:19:39,793
they're performing them perfectly!
427
00:19:39,793 --> 00:19:44,293
Wow!
428
00:19:44,293 --> 00:19:44,833
We were so shocked!
429
00:19:44,833 --> 00:19:45,733
That's really impressive!
430
00:19:45,733 --> 00:19:48,033
So different by country!
431
00:19:48,033 --> 00:19:49,703
Totally different!
432
00:19:49,703 --> 00:19:50,633
But most importantly, starting in October,
433
00:19:50,933 --> 00:19:52,733
starting in October,
434
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:54,043
you have a 22-show headline tour coming up!
435
00:19:54,543 --> 00:20:00,243
I have the schedule here,
436
00:20:00,243 --> 00:20:02,183
and this is quite the touring itinerary!
437
00:20:02,183 --> 00:20:06,000
Starting October 31st in the UK,
438
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:09,783
exactly one month later,
439
00:20:09,783 --> 00:20:11,023
ending November 30th in Spain.
440
00:20:11,023 --> 00:20:16,749
UK, Ireland, France, Belgium,
Netherlands, Germany,
441
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:19,463
so back to Europe again!
442
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:22,233
And Austria too!
443
00:20:22,233 --> 00:20:23,456
That's right.
444
00:20:23,456 --> 00:20:24,257
Incredible!
445
00:20:25,533 --> 00:20:28,527
This time there's a heavy focus on the UK.
446
00:20:28,527 --> 00:20:34,013
On our first tour, the UK,
we only did a bit as a headline show,
447
00:20:34,243 --> 00:20:39,583
as the final show maybe.
448
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:43,753
But, last year we only went to
UK festivals, so it's been a while!
449
00:20:43,753 --> 00:20:48,893
Ireland is our first time, Hungary too!
450
00:20:49,763 --> 00:20:54,233
I think Hungary's a first!
451
00:20:54,233 --> 00:20:57,233
Hungary is a wonderful place!
452
00:20:57,303 --> 00:21:00,503
I have one personal
recommendation, it's a food item.
453
00:21:01,773 --> 00:21:04,497
It's called pogácsa!
454
00:21:04,613 --> 00:21:06,243
I need to write that down!
455
00:21:06,643 --> 00:21:09,743
It fits in your palm, maybe even smaller,
456
00:21:09,743 --> 00:21:11,953
like a little muffin!
457
00:21:11,983 --> 00:21:16,408
Sounds delicious!
You can find them at bakeries.
458
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,344
They're mainly made with cheese.
459
00:21:20,353 --> 00:21:24,963
Some people call them biscuits,
460
00:21:24,963 --> 00:21:26,452
but they have this perfect
balance of salty and sweet!
461
00:21:26,452 --> 00:21:27,920
Nice!
462
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,121
Like a scone?
463
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:34,026
Yeah, that dense texture that
absorbs all your mouth's moisture!
464
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:38,264
Those heavy flour-based
treats! I love those!
465
00:21:38,264 --> 00:21:41,443
Different shops make
them slightly different,
466
00:21:41,443 --> 00:21:42,735
some are fluffier.
467
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,137
It's definitely got that scone quality!
468
00:21:45,137 --> 00:21:46,353
I want to try it!
469
00:21:47,353 --> 00:21:51,210
When I was little,
my best friend was Hungarian,
470
00:21:51,578 --> 00:21:55,514
and she introduced me to them.
I ate so many I gained weight!
471
00:21:55,753 --> 00:21:58,717
Just be a little careful about that,
472
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:00,903
but they're so small you can eat plenty!
473
00:22:00,933 --> 00:22:02,863
Definitely try them if you can!
474
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,303
Thank you!
475
00:22:04,303 --> 00:22:05,373
Sorry for my little side story!
476
00:22:06,943 --> 00:22:09,443
We appreciate it!
477
00:22:09,443 --> 00:22:12,298
For these 22 shows, what kind
of tour do you want to create?
478
00:22:12,613 --> 00:22:16,383
Like Yukina mentioned,
479
00:22:16,713 --> 00:22:19,653
this is our first time
doing a proper UK tour,
480
00:22:20,213 --> 00:22:24,723
so we're both excited and
481
00:22:25,823 --> 00:22:29,763
curious how the crowds will respond.
482
00:22:30,963 --> 00:22:34,163
We haven't done headline
shows there since 2023,
483
00:22:34,793 --> 00:22:39,373
so we're really looking forward
484
00:22:39,633 --> 00:22:42,643
to seeing what the reaction will be.
485
00:22:43,043 --> 00:22:46,773
Definitely.
486
00:22:46,773 --> 00:22:47,913
Actually,
487
00:22:47,913 --> 00:22:49,783
at first, you were reading
comments on social media
488
00:22:50,143 --> 00:22:53,353
from overseas fans
489
00:22:54,183 --> 00:22:56,683
and just felt grateful
people were listening.
490
00:22:56,683 --> 00:22:59,123
That's what you said before.
491
00:22:59,123 --> 00:23:02,263
But now, looking at your YouTube,
492
00:23:02,263 --> 00:23:05,863
there are comments in so many languages,
493
00:23:05,863 --> 00:23:08,533
all kinds of comments!
494
00:23:08,533 --> 00:23:10,533
Tons in English especially,
495
00:23:10,533 --> 00:23:12,673
and I literally saw a comment this morning
496
00:23:13,073 --> 00:23:16,003
saying 'Come to the UK!'
so everyone's definitely
497
00:23:16,003 --> 00:23:19,713
waiting for you!
498
00:23:19,713 --> 00:23:23,713
That last UK show
499
00:23:23,713 --> 00:23:27,153
on our first tour sold out,
500
00:23:28,153 --> 00:23:31,353
and it left such a strong impression.
501
00:23:31,883 --> 00:23:36,193
Since that was our first
overseas tour in Europe,
502
00:23:36,223 --> 00:23:40,493
that final UK show had this
sense of accomplishment
503
00:23:40,493 --> 00:23:46,405
mixed with feelings I'd
never experienced before.
504
00:23:46,405 --> 00:23:48,771
It was super hot too.
505
00:23:48,771 --> 00:23:50,771
I know right.
506
00:23:51,163 --> 00:23:54,166
Even the stage floor was
507
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:55,267
I don't know how to describe it,
508
00:23:55,267 --> 00:23:57,269
soaking wet.
509
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:59,704
Just moisture everywhere.
510
00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:01,940
Almost slipping on the stage!
511
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,043
The energy in that room was massive!
512
00:24:05,744 --> 00:24:11,082
That memory really sticks with us,
so we want to top it this time
513
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:12,918
in all the other countries too!
514
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:14,586
Sounds exciting!
515
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:16,988
Looking forward to it!
516
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:19,458
Thank you!
517
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:22,894
We're already running out of time,
518
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:25,897
but Yukina and Matsuri will be
back next week too!
519
00:24:25,897 --> 00:24:29,267
We'll continue our conversation then!
520
00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:29,835
Thank you!
521
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,804
Finally, any announcements from Hanabie?
522
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:37,442
On August 25th,
523
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:42,814
Hanabie's first artist book
will be released!
524
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:43,849
Congratulations!
525
00:24:44,015 --> 00:24:48,887
We decided to make this
for our 10th anniversary.
526
00:24:48,887 --> 00:24:54,025
It includes photos of us that
we haven't posted on social media,
527
00:24:54,025 --> 00:24:58,096
behind-the-scenes tour moments,
528
00:24:58,530 --> 00:25:00,699
and Hanabie's complete history.
529
00:25:00,699 --> 00:25:04,269
It'll be packed with information!
530
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:07,806
Plus we're including sheet
music for the first time!
531
00:25:08,073 --> 00:25:10,709
We've never released scores before.
532
00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:13,945
Also makeup tips, costume details,
533
00:25:13,945 --> 00:25:19,317
so hopefully different types of
fans can all enjoy it!
534
00:25:19,451 --> 00:25:21,386
That sounds like such a special book!
535
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:23,288
Just hearing about it gets me excited!
536
00:25:23,288 --> 00:25:25,390
Girls especially want to know, right?
537
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:25,891
Absolutely!
538
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:28,493
Your makeup today is gorgeous!
539
00:25:28,493 --> 00:25:30,362
That blush is so beautiful!
540
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:32,264
I was definitely noticing!
541
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:37,135
I'll be using that as reference for sure!
542
00:25:37,135 --> 00:25:39,571
Everyone, please look forward to it!
543
00:25:39,571 --> 00:25:42,173
Tonight's guests were Yukina,
vocalist of Hanabie,
544
00:25:42,173 --> 00:25:44,242
and Matsuri, guitarist and vocalist!
545
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:46,578
