A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

This time, I’ve put together a collection of anime songs performed by girls’ bands!

Music that colors a work is incredibly important, right?

I’m sure many of you watch anime while paying attention to things like “who the composer is” or “which studio is producing it.”

Among all those anime songs created by various musicians and composers, this article shines a spotlight on girls’ bands.

It’s a recommendation for both anime lovers and rock band fans!
