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 12 million views on YouTube and 5.4 million views on TikTok.

In December 2024, HANABIE. unleashed their EP, Bucchigiri Tokyo, followed by their latest EP, HOT TOPIC, released 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. In March 2026, the quartet brought the heat on their first North American headlining tour. With a rapidly growing international following, HANABIE. is actively expanding their presence and making a bold statement on the global stage, so be sure to stay tuned for more HANABIE. news coming soon.
