ABOUT HANABIE.:
HANABIE. is a Tokyo-based all-girl rock band that has been making waves since 2015, when YUKINA, MATSURI, and HETTSU came together for a high school club activity. With the addition of CHIKA in May 2023, the band has evolved into a force to be reckoned with. Don’t be fooled by their cute, girlish image—their sound is a hard-hitting blend of powerful shouts, heavy riffs, and unique Japanese flair, capturing fans at home and abroad. Their hit single “Pardon Me, I Have To Go Now” has amassed over 10 million views on YouTube and 5.3 million views on TikTok.
In December 2024, HANABIE. released their EP, Bucchigiri Tokyo, further showcasing their dynamic range and signature style. Next, the band will release their latest EP, HOT TOPIC, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.
2023 marked the beginning of their overseas ventures, and in August 2024, they made history as the first Japanese women to perform on the main stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago, USA. The quartet will soon bring the heat on their first North American headliner beginning mid-March 2026. With a rapidly growing international following, HANABIE. is actively expanding their presence and making a bold statement on the global stage.
