Getting Into HANABIE. (花冷え。) with Bass TAB: Songs for Bass Players
If you're into HANABIE. 花冷え。 and you're trying to figure out their bass parts, you're in the right place. This page is the main hub for the growing HANABIE. Bass TAB collection on rikytone.
Instead of throwing every song into one giant page, each Bass TAB gets its own dedicated article. That means you can jump straight into the song you're working on and find the tuning, TAB reference, playing ideas, and practice notes that actually relate to that track.
And yeah, this collection is meant to grow. As more HANABIE. songs are independently transcribed and prepared, new Bass TAB articles will be added to this page. So this isn't a fixed list that stops here. It's an evolving resource for bass players who want to explore more of HANABIE.'s music over time.
What You'll Find in This HANABIE. Bass TAB Collection
Every song has its own page rather than being squeezed into a basic list of notes and fret numbers. The idea is to make each article useful even after you've already learned the main bass line.
| Resource | What it helps with | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Bass TAB | Finding the notes and following the bass part | Individual song article |
| Tuning information | Getting your bass into the right setup | Individual song article |
| Playing ideas | Understanding attack, timing, muting, and movement | Individual song article |
| Practice strategies | Breaking difficult passages into manageable sections | Individual song article |
| Collection updates | Finding newly added HANABIE. Bass TABs | This collection page |

Why HANABIE. Is Interesting for Bass Players
One cool thing about learning HANABIE. songs is that you don't necessarily get the same setup from one track to another. The three songs currently featured here already give you three different tuning environments: B F# B E, C G C F, and D A D G.
That alone makes the collection useful as a little tuning workout. You're not just learning songs. You're also getting used to how different tunings change the feel of the instrument.
| Song | Tuning | Main thing to notice |
|---|---|---|
| O・TA・KUラブリー伝説 | B F# B E | Lower register and string response |
| WANT TO TIE-UP | C G C F | Low tuning, timing, and controlled attack |
| SPICY QUEEN | D A D G | Low-D awareness and resonance control |
Different Tunings, Different Bass Feel
If you've mostly played in standard E A D G, lower tunings can feel weird at first. The strings respond differently, familiar shapes may produce different notes, and the low end can become much more noticeable.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Actually, it's a pretty useful way to expand your fretboard awareness.
Think Beyond the Fret Numbers
When you open a Bass TAB, it's tempting to focus only on the numbers. But the tuning tells you something important before you even play the first note.
Ask yourself:
- Which string is carrying the lowest notes?
- Are open strings being used?
- Are familiar fretboard shapes still producing the notes you expect?
- Where can you reduce unnecessary hand movement?
- Which strings need extra muting?
These questions turn TAB reading into an actual learning exercise instead of simple number-following.
How to Use These Bass TAB Articles
You don't have to attack an entire song from beginning to end on your first practice session. That's usually a great way to get overwhelmed for absolutely no reason.
Step 1: Check the Tuning
Before playing anything, make sure your bass is tuned to the setup listed for that song. This is especially important with the lower-tuned HANABIE. tracks in this collection.
Step 2: Read a Small Section
Pick one short phrase. Don't worry about the entire arrangement yet. Find the notes, look at the string changes, and notice where the phrase begins and ends.
Step 3: Listen for the Groove
The TAB can show you where the notes are, but your ears tell you how those notes behave. Listen for note length, attack, space, and timing.
Step 4: Practice the Difficult Bit
If one transition keeps messing you up, isolate it. Loop that small movement until your hands stop thinking about it. Then reconnect it to the surrounding phrase.
Step 5: Put It Back Into the Song
Once the small section feels comfortable, play it with the surrounding music. That's where the isolated practice starts becoming actual playing.
A Simple Bass Practice System
If you're jumping between several HANABIE. songs, it can help to give each session a specific target instead of simply saying, “I'm gonna practice bass.”
| Session | Focus | What you're building |
|---|---|---|
| Session A | Tuning + fretboard mapping | Comfort with the instrument setup |
| Session B | TAB reading | Note recognition and position awareness |
| Session C | Rhythm + timing | A tighter groove |
| Session D | Muting + articulation | Cleaner note control |
| Session E | Playing with the recording | Musical feel and consistency |
What to Listen for When Practicing
A bassist can technically play every note correctly and still sound disconnected from the music. That's why listening matters just as much as reading.
Check Your Note Length
Are your notes ringing too long? Are you cutting them off too early? Try matching the shape of the bass part rather than simply hitting the correct pitch.
Check Your Attack
If every note is attacked with maximum force, the bass can lose definition. Try lighter and heavier attacks and listen to how the groove changes.
Check Your Muting
Lower tunings can expose unwanted resonance. If extra strings are ringing, slow down and clean up your muting before increasing the tempo.
Check Your Timing
A note played slightly late can completely change the feel of a bass phrase. A metronome is still one of the simplest ways to catch that problem.
Don't Just Memorize the TAB
The long-term goal isn't to become dependent on TAB. It's to use TAB as a shortcut for understanding the fretboard and then gradually let your ears take over more of the job.
After learning a section, put the TAB aside and see how much you remember. If you miss something, check the page again and repeat.
Eventually you'll start recognizing patterns without having to consciously read every number. That skill transfers to other songs too.
Build Your Own HANABIE. Practice Playlist
Once you have several songs from this collection under your fingers, try rotating them during your practice week. Don't play every song every day. Give yourself a reason to revisit each one.
| Day | Practice idea | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Learn one new section | Build vocabulary |
| Day 2 | Clean up yesterday's section | Improve consistency |
| Day 3 | Work on another song | Adapt to a different tuning or groove |
| Day 4 | Play without looking at TAB | Test memory and ear |
| Day 5 | Play with the original recording | Work on feel and timing |
Why Each Song Has Its Own Article
A collection page is useful for navigation, but it shouldn't replace the individual song pages. Every song has different musical details, and those details deserve their own space.
For example, the current collection includes three different tuning setups. The individual pages can go deeper into what makes each setup useful, how the bass responds, and what to watch out for while practicing.
That structure also makes the collection easier to grow. A new song can get its own dedicated page without turning this hub into one enormous wall of text.
Collection Updates
This HANABIE. Bass TAB collection will be updated over time. New songs can be added whenever another independent transcription is prepared and published.
Because of that, the list above is intentionally kept simple. There is no large song table to maintain. When a new Bass TAB goes live, a new item can simply be added to the list with a link to its dedicated article.
So if you're coming back to this page later, it's worth checking the collection again. There may be a new HANABIE. song waiting for you.

For Bass Players Who Like a Challenge
If you're comfortable with standard tuning, this collection can be a fun excuse to step outside that comfort zone. The different tunings force you to pay more attention to the fretboard instead of relying completely on old muscle memory.
And honestly, that's a good thing. The more comfortable you become with alternate tunings, the less scary unfamiliar bass parts start to look.
You begin thinking less about: “What fret is this?”
and more about: “Where is the easiest musical way to play this?”
That's a much more useful question.
Final Thoughts
The HANABIE. Bass TAB collection is built to be more than a list of song names. Each individual article gives you a place to explore the bass part, while this page acts as the central map for the growing collection.
Start with one song. Get comfortable with its tuning. Learn a few phrases. Listen closely. Then move on to another track when you're ready.
Over time, you'll build more than a collection of songs. You'll build better fretboard awareness, stronger timing, cleaner muting, and more confidence working outside standard tuning.
New HANABIE. Bass TABs will be added and the collection will be updated as more songs are prepared.
