The Five Swords Under HeavenHAGANE
HAGANE is a five-piece all-female heavy metal band formed in June 2018.
Despite their cool, refreshing appearance, they deliver a surprisingly hard sound featuring high-tone vocals and a powerful instrumental lineup.
Rooted in harmonic metal, their style is defined by heavily distorted twin guitars, tight drumming, and a grounded bass ensemble.
Dynamic song structures and emotional guitar solos are also key highlights.
They have released multiple singles, mini-albums, and a full-length album, and their live performances are highly praised for both technical skill and emotional impact.
With a melodious, fantastical worldview, HAGANE’s music is recommended not only for hard rock fans but also for anyone seeking a fresh musical experience.
Iron Veins of LeavesHello1103
This is a track by Hello1103 that delivers a longing for the future through sound.
It’s included on the album “Hello,” released in March 2024.
The piece falls under the Electronica/IDM genre, captivating listeners with a unique world that blends the beauty of electronic sounds and Hatsune Miku’s sutra chanting.
The music video, created using image-generation AI, also drew attention.
You can feel their commitment to pioneering new forms of expression that fuse sound and visuals.
It’s a song I especially want high school students to hear—perfect for moments when you want to pause amid the rush of studying and club activities and reflect on yourself.
Teenagers Are All AssholesHi-STANDARD
The goofy charm of Hi-Standard.
One song that embodies it is “Teenagers Are All Assholes.” The title itself is pretty crude, and the music video is so extreme it probably couldn’t air on broadcast TV (lol).
This ridiculous vibe pairs perfectly with the fast beats of melodic hardcore, making it a crowd favorite that triggers massive mosh pits at shows.

Awkward AdolescenceHoneyWorks feat. Kagamine Len
HoneyWorks is an artist especially popular among teenage girls.
This song, released in 2013, portrays the changing distance between a brother and sister as they enter adolescence.
The little sister has started paying attention to her appearance but is still a bit clingy, while the older brother is at an age where he wants to act cool and can’t be as straightforward as he used to be.
The way the two of them are depicted is really adorable! Many people probably find that once they hit puberty, they talk less with their siblings, but it’s not because they dislike them.
Listening to this song might inspire you to put your feelings into words once in a while or play together like you used to.
