In my top 5 japanese bands - no kidding. Fabulous musicians (F Chopper Koga on bass, Tomo-Zo on guitar, Oreo Reona on keys - but singing and fronting the band here - and Hana on drums). This is an old line-up, now the dancers are gone, replaced by a young singer/entertainer/rapper/energizer (Angelina 1/3) and drummer Hana is now fronting the band and playing rythm guitar, with Yuri on drums (presently on interim because she just had a baby). The present line-up is my favorite and you really have to watch their latest MV MINDSET, it is not to be missed, with amazing musical parts (even fusion-jazz) ! kzitem.info/news/bejne/sqOClopsb2mCrX4 . Oh and yes they're totally nuts 😄

GS started in 2009, with a lead singer called Armmy (Takae Ashitomi). They did a sort of highly technical punk-pop, but crossed genres a lot. They started to have some friction within the band, and then in early 2012 Armmy left for health reasons. She died in 2015; their work with her is very much worth seeing-here is an early one: “Setsunaku” kzitem.info/news/bejne/15ywr6hoaZGpi5w The girls were all just out of high school, and you can see they were already very technical. When Armmy left, GS had tours lined up in both Japan and abroad for 2012, and needed a lead singer. For the Japan tour various singers (including Fuki) filled in for different shows, but they couldn’t find someone good enough who could also commit to the band full time For their overseas tour Hana (who was doing drums and vocals and was effectively the co-leader of the band) took the lead vocals on herself. She also happens to play several other instruments. GS had had a great chemistry with Fuki when she filled in for them, so while they were figuring out what to do with GS they contacted Fuki about doing a more metal project. This became Doll$Boxx. They wrote and recorded their first album at the end of 2012, then picked up GS again full time in 2013. They are still active, but occasionally pick up the Doll$Boxx collaboration again when they and Fuki have time in their schedules. Gacharic Spin have added more personnel (a drummer, allowing Hana to focus on guitar and vocals, and dancers who also sing). It's impossible to define them by genre. You'll find everything in their catalogue from metal and punk to electro, dance, pop and ballads. Most of their recent work merges multiple genres. Here is another live worth checking out: kzitem.info/news/bejne/q6ptk3t9i5NkoZg You also have to check out Doll$Boxx. Try: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zqto4GiLn2uFmpg Core personnel (these are also the members of Doll$Boxx along with Fuki): Hana (Hana Sano): vocals, drums, guitar, keytar, other instruments Tomo-Zo (Tomoko Midorikawa): lead guitar F-Chopper Koga (Michiko Koga): bass Oreo Reona (Reona Suzuki): keyboards, vocals Several other performers have rotated in and out of GS. Currently they list Yuri as their drummer and Angelina doing dance and vocals.

It’s worth to dive deeper into this Band. Gacharic Spin and their side project Doll$Boxx are fantastic bands. Very diverse and exceptional skilled musicians too. Lock on is one of their early songs and does not really represent their range and versatility. I would recommend their actual song Mindset. Tomo-Zo is an absolute fantastic guitar player and in my all time top 3 (Tomo-Zo, Saiki and Yuki) - after Kanami sitting alone on her throne 😊 - highly underrated by many, brillant and like Kanami a band player, mostly busy through the whole song with interesting licks and riffs, you don’t see it in this crowd pump song, but when she shows off just brillant and very unique. Tomo-Zo too doesn’t remind me of any other guitar player. F-Chopper Koga is basically a slap monster, a great bass player but never as enigmatic and creative as Misa, in my humble opinion. But I’m sure this Band will grow on you if you follow the GS/D$B rabbit hole too.

Hi, an American here. It appears to me that when Fuki left, they needed to distinguish the band, to give it a unique sound. So they pushed it as a crazy dance party. Not everyone will like that, but many people will. They have very good musical skills. So far, I have not been so excited about their songs, but their energy and the wild quality of their concerts are interesting to me. I am exploring many Japanese bands and will be looking into their work more. To my thinking, the variety of very unique bands in Japan is one of their strengths, another is the quality and dedication of each and every artist I hear. In comparison, the big corporations that run most of the music industry here in the States do not seem interested in quality, and most of their music is boring, and that is all the radio plays. Japanese rock is fascinating to me, and many more non-Japanese are discovering how good it is. I have not yet been moved to buy a Gacharic Spin album, while I have bought BandMaid, Exist-Trace, and Nemophila albums so far. But I think I would enjoy a GS concert very much.

Enjoyed this reaction a lot, thanks Ryan ❤ 👍 Oh, I just realized that you said Fishbone was too much to take in... well then it'd be the same with BB.

This was one of the first songs by gacharic spin and one of their first videos. If you watch the original video you’ll find the whole thing much calmer and simpler then their live show. That’s the thing about about gacharic spin. They’re not for lazy people. The average person will listen to one of their songs especially live and decide it sucks without ever digging down in to all the style and genre bending going on. bTW Hana the drummer writes the music on nearly every song but koga the bassist brought this song in from her previous band and armmy wrote the lyrics. Armmy wrote most of the lyrics that first year she was singing lead. This song is about the girls out cruising for boys and the title “Lock on” would be similar to “I’ve got my sites set on you”

The band goes from 1-100 on the drop of a dime. This is the second line up. They are in their third line up atm. Other fun facts: They have multi vocalists. But the Drummer (Hana) in this line up is the primary. Btw i'm going to age myself. Fishbone song your after is. "Party at ground zero" But anyways. The current line up they brought in another drummer (Yuri). Hana moved to R. Guitar/Vocals and then they added a Rapper/MC/Vocalist. The two dancers have left the group to do other things over the years. For a look at the new line up check out "Mindset"

Gacharic Spin outdoes even BM in shear variety. They've had some lineup changes over the years, sometimes they've had dancers sometimes not. They are basically a Rock Performance Art project. Hana is a killer drummer, she later came out to front the band and play guitar and they got another drummer. Hana still plays drums in the offshoot Doll$Boxx, which is more straight ahead metal. F. Chopper Koga is a ridiculous bassist. It's safe to say you are going to find a big variety of stuff in the Gacharic Spin videos, some you'll like and some not. In fact their name refers to a japanese spinning game where you never know what prize you'll get lol. Koga is sort of like Les Claypool in that slapping is her primary playing technique. check this out. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xWxst4Smi56Zhpw&ab_channel=atossinternational

It's very different to see a drummer singing. Dollboxx does it too, and Maximum the Hormone has their drummer sing because she's the only female in that band. I imagine it has to be hard to sing while also doing all that drumming. I imagine you have to do some exercise where you fit the rhythm of the vocals into the drum patterns. I'm not a musician, so I'm not sure about it. It's quite the spectacle, but I don't know if it's something I'd listen to in my spare time. It's an interesting concept for a band to be sure. You don't see a ton of rock/metal bands who have back up dancers running around on stage. Reminds me of a ska band or something. :D EDIT: After posting this I found out the drummer for Dollboxx is the drummer for this band, too, so it makes sense to me now.
