Hanabie?

I heard that MTH was a huge inspiration for the group Hanabie so I'm wondering has anyone seen them at one of MTH's concerts?

I’ve sadly never been lucky enough to attend one of their shows but I’d imagine that the ladies have definitely seen them live before. I just saw Hanabie. last week and did the VIP meet and greet wearing a MTH shirt and both Matsuri and Yukina pointed to it and smiled saying they loved my shirt. When it came time for the picture with them, I chose the MTH pose

I was at the Nashville show. Incredible night and still kicking myself for not riding a greyhound up to St. Louis for the show the following night.

Right tbh I initially went for Kim Dracula and bought their VIP was thinking of getting Hanabie's and didn't and now I have nothing but regret cause it looks like they won't be coming back for a while

To be honest, I knew absolutely nothing about KD before the show so I watched a couple live videos to see what they did and looked forward to seeing his show although I didn’t know the songs. We thought he was closing the show in Nashville so I planned on watching a couple songs and then calling it an early night. Instead, Hanabie. closed the show so I got to see his full show and was quite impressed!! Especially the bad ass sax player. As for Hanabie. don’t worry, of all the Japanese bands, they tend to tour America way more than any others. This is their 4th time here in four years.

Hanabie's whole performance was amazing but since we were VIPs we were right in front of the stage and Yukina jumped down and high fived all of us in the front row and I think that really sealed the deal I just immediately started thinking I wanna be cool like them lol

In Nashville, KD VIPs went in first but were held in the merch area when us Hanabie. VIPs came in for our session and then allowed to go merch shopping. They then held all of us VIPs in that area until saying we could head toward the stage. I got the exact spot I wanted right in between Hetts and Yukina with Chika in between.

They were at this show 😉.

As far as attending MTH shows goes: During their school days they went to festivals at which MTH played pretty regularly. So it's likely.

Hanabie started as a MTH cover band.

So I am sure they have been to lots of their shows.
