Japanese metal girl group HANABIE are back—and this time, they’re turning the dial to 11 with their blistering new track, “Spicy Queen.” A fearless fusion of metalcore chaos, kawaii flair, and unfiltered attitude, this release is a bold reminder that HANABIE are not just part of the J-metal scene—they’re leading it. With each drop, they sharpen their identity, and “Spicy Queen” might just be their most flavorful banger yet.
Right from the opening scream, “Spicy Queen” delivers a high-voltage rush of guitars, pounding drums, and electronic breakbeats. HANABIE’s signature genre-bending sound is on full display—metalcore meets hyperpop, idol energy crashes into hardcore riffs, and the result is explosively addictive. From verse to chorus, the track is packed with mosh-ready moments and unforgettable hooks.
Lyrically, the track is a power statement. “Spicy Queen” doesn’t just sound fierce—it is fierce. HANABIE continue to challenge traditional gender roles in metal, proving that femininity and ferocity can thrive side-by-side. There’s a tongue-in-cheek sass to their delivery, but the message is clear: these girls are running the pit, and they’re doing it their way.
Visually, the music video slaps just as hard. Featuring bold color palettes, quirky costume changes, and chaotic camera cuts, HANABIE create a universe that’s both punk rock and kawaii-core. The MV is a perfect match for the track—vibrant, wild, and unapologetically original. It’s a feast for the senses and an anthem for the alt-girl uprising.
“Spicy Queen” arrives hot on the heels of the band’s growing global success. With their international fanbase expanding and major festival appearances under their belt, HANABIE are making it clear they’re not just a niche act—they’re a movement. This latest single solidifies their status as one of the most exciting metal acts to watch in 2025.
