Harajuku-core sensation, HANABIE., Has Unveiled Their New Track “GIRL’S TALK”

HANABIE, the trailblazing Harajuku-core sensation has released their latest track “GIRL’S TALK” and the official music video (via Sony Music Japan). Speaking about today’s release, HANABIE. vocalist Yukina commented:

“We’ve created another song that only we can produce! From the moment I received the initial demo from Matsuri that included the glass sound in the intro, I knew I wanted to create a luxurious and mode ambience song. I’ve been looking forward to releasing this for a while. Isn’t it a very precious time for people of any age to meet with friends after a long time and reminisce about their past? It’s nice to have someone to share stories with and I would be happy if HANABIE. can be included in everyone’s “talks”.”

Guitarist and vocalist Matsuri added:

“I wanted to gradually show a more mature HANABIE. so tried to express a cool and mature woman even from on the sound end. It’s a little different from our usual HANABIE. style. Please enjoy a mature HANABIE. along with the music video!!”

HANABIE. bassist Hettsu shared:

“The song has a more mature atmosphere than the previous HANABIE. songs! I think it’s very HANABIE. that it starts with a chill glass sound and suddenly speeds up. The bass line from before the chorus to the end of the chorus is my personal favorite, so please check it out! In this song, Matsuri is doing more mature vocals and Yukina is doing a new style rap, so please listen carefully to that part too♪”

Drummer Chika stated:

“This song is not only a cute song, but also shows a new aspect of HANABIE. ! Yukina’s rap and Matsuri’s melody are very impressive and catchy! The drum phrases in this song were designed to be cool and mature, but I also kept in mind a sense of speed and a slow and fast patterns. In particular, I thought of a difficult drum phrase for the first melody of the second verse, so I hope that those who have drum experience will try to copy it! In the music video, I tried to give a mature look and there was a new challenge for me, so please check it out!”
