I’ll Catch YouThe Get Up kids
They formed in the United States in 1995 but, unfortunately, disbanded in 2005.
They were one of the bands that led the emo rock scene of the 1990s.

The album is highly acclaimed as a classic and was reissued as an anniversary edition to mark the 10th anniversary of its release.
VacationThe Go-Go’s
A girls’ band that was active in the U.
S.
in the ’80s.
Guitarist Jane Wiedlin and vocalist Belinda Carlisle were the core members, and their sound was characterized by the pop-rock style of the decade.
They were also an interesting band for their MTV-conscious music videos.
NewSongWarpaint
An art rock/post-rock band from Los Angeles.
Known for an experimental sound featuring ominous riffs and bold song structures, they’ve been highly praised by artists such as former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante.
On their 2016 new album, they incorporated elements of dance music, resulting in a more refined sound.
A Little FasterThere For Tomorrow
Formed in 2003 in Florida, USA by members who were then high school students.
Their 2008 single “There For Tomorrow” became a worldwide hit, and in the same year they won the mtvU Breaking Woodie Award.
They are known for their catchy, emotional melodies.
Kagemusha (body double/decoy)2CELLOS
The NTT Docomo “Two Top” commercial song.
The ad features 2CELLOS themselves, where you can see them playing the cello while provoking each other in contrasting black and white outfits.
The sharp, edgy track matches the stylish direction of the commercial very well.
ChiquititaABBA
ABBA is somewhat misunderstood in Japan.
The more knowledgeable people become about music, the more some tend to shy away from ABBA, but that’s a big mistake.
And in terms of the power of their choruses, I think they’re the best in pop songs, so they’re surely the ultimate cheer-up/anthem songs as well.
