DiamondsNakayama Kanako
Kanako Nakayama, guitarist of PRINCESS PRINCESS—the legendary band that has led Japan’s girls’ band scene—made her major-label debut in 1986 with the mini-album “Kiss de Hanzai.” In 1989, they became the first all-female band to perform at Nippon Budokan, leaving a major mark on the music world.
Influenced by Joan Jett, Nakayama combines powerful guitar playing with strong songwriting talent.
After PRINCESS PRINCESS disbanded, she pursued solo work, including the album “HOWLING,” and performs with the rock band VooDoo Hawaiians.
In November 2024, she successfully held a 60th-birthday commemorative live show, proving her rock spirit remains as fierce as ever.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the essence of powerful female rock.
