Recommended Japanese female-vocal bands (1–10)
UnchainedLOVEBITES
A five-piece all-female band shining in the world of traditional heavy metal.
Formed in 2016 and making their major debut in 2017, LOVEBITES captivates with dazzling twin-guitar harmonies and a powerful rhythm section.
Many of their songs feature English lyrics, and their music production is geared toward international activity.
In 2018, they won “Best New Band” at the UK music magazine Metal Hammer’s Golden Gods Awards.
That same year, they performed at Germany’s Wacken Open Air, enthralling an audience of around ten thousand.
While rooted in power metal and speed metal, they fuse in elements of classical and jazz to craft a distinctive style that continues to attract metal fans worldwide.
They are highly recommended for listeners seeking a heavy sound and exceptional musicianship.
SynchronicicaPolkadot Stingray
As a band from Fukuoka, Polkadot Stingray has become hugely popular, especially among young people.
They broke through after a music video they uploaded to YouTube when they were completely unknown went viral—quite a modern trajectory for a band, isn’t it? Musically, their danceable beats, crisp guitar cutting, and slightly mature-sounding vocals are a perfect match.
rays of lightHakubi
Hakubi is a band known for its fragile, translucent female vocals.
Their classic guitar-rock sound feels great, and their straightforward three-piece arrangements make the songs easy to listen to.
What truly stands out is vocalist Katagiri’s voice—while powerful, it has a delicate, almost transparent quality that defines Hakubi’s identity.
They’re a band you won’t want to take your eyes off as they continue to rise.
Until the gobies dash to their endI wish it could stay midnight forever.
ZUTOMAYO (short for “Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni.”) is an artist shrouded in mystery, with little known beyond the fact that ACAね serves as the vocalist.
Their song “Byoushin wo Kamu” (Biting the Second Hand) became a massive hit and has drawn huge attention, especially among younger listeners.
Their irresistibly cool, piano-driven rock sound is incredibly appealing.
They’re a must-watch female-led act whose future activities are highly anticipated.
Only for you, clear skiesYorushika
Yorushika suddenly appeared and quickly became hugely popular, especially online.
The band consists of two members: n-buna, who originally worked as a Vocaloid producer, and vocalist suis.
Beyond suis’s clear, beautiful voice, the songs written by n-buna carry messages tinged with a certain wistfulness that pierce straight into your heart as you listen.
They’re an artist to watch who will likely have a major impact on the music scene going forward.
Proof of Eternal AbsenceTokyo Incidents
A rock band that has captivated listeners with its solid, edgy sound since they began in 2004.
I still can’t forget the impact of their debut track, “Gunjō Biyori.” Of course there’s Ringo Sheena’s vocals, but be sure to pay attention to the formidable musicianship of the heavyweight lineup as well, including producer Seiji Kameda, guitarist Ukigumo, and drummer Toshiki Hata.
They disbanded once in 2012, but reunited on New Year’s Day of 2020.
That “news” made me truly happy! They’re a band whose clashing personalities defy simple description.
Personally, I love the way the piano timbre enters—it gives an impression that, amid the intensity, there’s a certain warmth.
FoolsGLIM SPANKY
When you think of female vocal bands, you might picture idol-like cuteness and poppy tunes, but these girls are on a whole different level! The biggest draw is vocalist Remi Matsuo’s voice, which grabs your ears from the very first listen.
Her wild, badass husky tone paired with the ultra-rock guitar sound is absolutely unmissable!
