Harajuku-core sensation HANABIE. are back with a new single. “Bari Bari Buddy” has been released alongside its official music video.
Written by vocalist YUKINA and guitarist/vocalist MATSURI, the track serves as the ending theme for the upcoming anime series Reincarnated as a Sword II. The band described it as “an epic, larger-than-life song that perfectly captures Fran and Teacher’s grand adventure,” adding that the chorus is “something everyone can sing along to.”
Fans can also look forward to HANABIE.’s upcoming new album, UMAMI, out Wednesday, December 2. More details are forthcoming.
Formed in 2015 as a high school club activity, HANABIE. has evolved into a force to be reckoned with. The Tokyo-based all-girl rock band—YUKINA, MATSURI, HETTSU, and CHIKA—blends powerful shouts, heavy riffs, and unique Japanese flair. 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 2024, they made history as the first Japanese women to perform on the main stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago. In March 2026, they embarked on their first North American headlining tour.
“Bari Bari Buddy” is available now on all streaming platforms, and the music video is live on YouTube. With UMAMI arriving December 2, HANABIE. shows no signs of slowing down. Stay tuned.
