HANABIE Celebrates 10th Anniversary With ‘Spicy Food’

HANABIE has unleashed their new single “Spicy Food” to celebrate their 10th anniversary as a band.

This ode to spicy food is a counterpart to 2021’s “WE LOVE SWEETS” and goes harder than the original. Guitarist and vocalist Matsuri reveals the band came up with the song during their U.S. tour. “It’s also the first track we crafted collaboratively as a band through constant discussions and was incredibly fun to make!! We included plenty of moments for our fans to shout along with us, designing the track with the vision that all the parts will come together during a live performance. So, we hope you listen to it a lot and come join us at our live shows!”

Vocalist Yukina adds, “The song WE LOVE SWEETS, which we released in 2021, has become a gateway track for listeners to discover our music,” explains vocalist Yukina. “It’s a very meaningful track for us. As time has passed and we have matured, we thought, ‘Let’s make a spicy version of the song!’ during our tour.

“Inspired by the famous Nashville Hot Chicken, we decided to create this new rendition that features a spicy and stimulating musical progression. It also has an addictive quality that will make you want to ‘eat’ – listen to – the track on repeat!”

Listen to the spicy song below.

HANABIE have several festivals booked for the summer, including Santanic Carnival, Vans Warped Tour, and Wacken Open Air. See all their dates here.
