Hanabie release new music video for ‘OTAKU Lovely Densetsu’

HANABIE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track OTAKU Lovely Densetsu, is the brand new single from the Japanese metal band and marks their first new music since the release of their debut album, Reborn Superstar!, which was released in August last year.

Speaking about the new single, guitarist/vocalist Matsuri says, “OTAKU Lovely Densetsu is a chaotic song that focuses on anime and games that are part of Japanese culture. You shine brightest when you’re into what you love and just being OTAKU. OTAKU is not just in Japan but also overseas too so be confident being OTAKU! This song is just freestyle and doing what we want, so please enjoy this HANABIE. world! Japan culture rocks!”

Bassist Hettsu adds, “I think this song is about how OTAKU has become more commonplace since entering the 2021 era, and how everyone is addicted to something and has become an OTAKU! Well, most of all we ourselves are OTAKU! LOL Personally, please listen closely to the end of the intro falling into the outro where you can feel the skipping beat, it’s my favorite part. It’s catchy with hectic changes, so listen to it a lot and get hooked⭐︎”

And drummer Chika says, “the intro drum phrase expresses a parallel world feel with the snare out of position! I was inspired while traveling overseas seeing drummers who added blast beats. I think I was able to put it in a good way in the second verse of this song! All OTAKU should continue to be proud and enthusiastic! If you are not OTAKU, I hope you will take this opportunity to step into the world of OTAKU! Thank you!!!!”
