With their new EP Hot Topic coming out later this month, Japanese ‘Harajuku-core’ act HANABIE. dropped a frenetic music video for the track “Iconic”.
Chances are, you either love HANABIE. or absolutely fucking despise them. As a band full of Japanese women playing loud and heavy music, often times in Japanese, they’re certainly a lightning rod for dumb fucks that don’t want to accept that heavy music is growing and permutating other cultures.
But I digress. HANABIE.’s Hot Topic is coming out at the end of the month. On top of that, they’ve got plans for a huge tour with Nekrogoblikon and Enterprise Earth. You can check out both the video and the list of tour dates below.
