I only know one GUMI. :mrgreen

Link

Her name is Megumi Hinata, and had her singing debut in 1998 as GUMI (グミ)
Surely hanzo would listen to this kind of music. :heh

Now, here's the problem.
Gumi is japanese for group, team, squad, etc.
The group itself you're looking for probably is called "something" gumi or is shortened to gumi, perhaps..
Seeing as the GUMI was fully capitilized actually hints that hanzo secretly likes little girl music. (Not that I am to judge. I have like 3 different card captor sakura opening songs saved.)

Why?!?

ok, before you go all "uuh, you just like them because they're japanese little girls, and you're like the biggest weaboo around" They're actually pretty good. I'm not that much into metal, and I'm not even sure if it actually is metal or just j-pop and techno with metal instruments, but I like it! Like most japanese music, they at least have a fucking melody, and not some sweaty tard yelling about death. Link Also, the lyrics.... they're singing about wanting chocolate, lol. I love it!

They're not bad, but if you want cute japanese girls rocking, SCANDAL is quite more genuine, and I prefer their sound too.

I haven't listened to them at all. I've never before heard of them. I can not make any assertion to their level of talent, skill or adherence to the genre. I can't even tell you what the genre is (since there seems to be some confusion on this matter). What I can tell you is that you don't like metal. You also are a notorious loliphile and purveyor of things Japanese. I like metal. I like speed metal, power metal, metal opera, death metal and black metal. I like electronica. Techno, house, trance, ambient, chiptune, industrial and dance. To a trained eye this seems to be a "pop" band. A lot of people think "pop" is short for "popular" which is such a stab-in-the-dark guess that it borders on the neglectful; as if you had been asked for the abort sequence and shrugged at the explosive payload. Under that definition literally everything is "pop" which is likely to get you shot in some places. "Pop" music is faddish by definition: it "pops" in popularity then is quickly forgotten by the ever trend-whoring media machine catering to the churning sea of ~~gullible idiot demographics~~ fans (shortened form of "fanatics" meaning "persons marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm") whose tastes and likes are as volatile as antimatter. It is designed, mathematically, to exploit the function of the human brain using kitschy (adjective meaning "effusively or insincerely emotional; overdone or vulgar, often pretentious bad taste, especially in the arts") rhythms, melodies and lyrics in place of talent/skill, originality and inspiration. Owing to the design of pop you may be entranced into thinking you like it or that it's even "good" and you might defend it with an argument that makes no sense or simply by stating "musical tastes are all just opinion." This is of course a worthless, invalid and inaccurate thing to say. (I stopped here to do something else, came back and proofread the whole thing.) I completely forgot why I went off on that tangent. Having listened to "Gimme Chocolate‼" they're rock with poorly mixed drums and an autistic guitarist that abuses his distortion pedal in all the wrong ways. I'd expect this if I was listening to music written, arranged and performed by three little girls making 4/4 music in an octatonic scale coming from Japan (a country that natively used anything but octatonic scales) but knowing that it was 上田剛士 (UEDA Takeshi, age 55) who arranged that song and that the lyricists hide behind pseudonyms (not surprising for an illuminati band; read this then read this) I expect "metal" (or buttrock) of quality not less then Andrew W. K. who is literally a "sweaty tard yelling about death," or something, whatever. I actually like Andrew W. K., mind you. I also like that at some point these girls are going to be objectified as part of the illuminati idol process so… proceed.

I just have a weird taste, I think. There are thousands of japanese bands featuring little girls singing about chocolate, who are actual pop-idols. I genuinely like the chorus (especially in Headbanger!!). But I would probably like the songs even better without the guy in the background going "WOOOOOOO". And I do like some metal (usually completely instrumental), just not the type of metal that is popular among angst induced teenagers. (once again "WOOOOOOO") I don't get stuck on certain genres. Every music genre seems to have at least one song I like.

Well, one could asume that, but eh. No. The song was done by college students, maybe even during their last years as a project or something. But they are really good ;P If like "little girl" music, i wouldve made fun of that with brony pictures ages ago. You know, the shocksock treatment.

Link They're singing about how bullying is bad and that you shouldn't do it. If this had been in english or swedish, it would have sounded so fucking silly, but this sounds awesome. IJIME (DAME) IJIME (DAME) KAKKOWARUI YO! The melody + lolis going "dame" just does it for me. I'm liking them more and more for each time I listen. Also lol'd at their fake guitar playing.

This is worse than BiS... in fact, they should join forces and rename themselves to just BS. Sad thing is, Japan is actually home to some unique and amazing metal: Sabbat, Boris, Syphilitic Vaginas, Gore Beyond Necropsy, Manierisme... but mainstream J-music always insists on fucking it up with this lame idol crap. Why?!?
