grating hunny have released a new music video for their latest track 「キスしてほしい」, which translates to “I Want You to Kiss Me.”
Hailing from Japan (Osaka area), grating hunny are part of a new generation of guitar-driven youth bands blending raw punk attitude with melodic, emotionally charged rock. The song leans heavily on distorted guitar textures, urgent vocals, and an intentionally rough, almost DIY energy that feels closer to lived-in emotion than polished perfection.
The MV reinforces that aesthetic with performance-focused visuals and a slightly chaotic edge, perfectly matching the song’s straightforward but desperate theme of wanting closeness and connection. There’s a strong sense of “unfinished beauty” here — the kind of tension that defines modern Japanese underground punk rather than retro revivalism.
