Chatmonchy’s iconic and popular songs
I’ve put together a collection of songs by Chatmonchy, one of Japan’s leading all-girl bands.
For me, born in 1993, when I think of girl bands, it’s definitely Chatmonchy.
They had been active as a trio since their formation, but in 2011, drummer Kumikon (Kumiko Takahashi) left the band.
Since then, the group has continued with vocalist/guitarist Ecchan (Eriko Hashimoto) and bassist Akko-chan (Akiko Fukuoka), performing with support members.
By the way, after leaving, Kumikon has been working as a writer, which she had been doing for some time, creating works that use paintings and poetry to turn entire spaces into art—this is her guiding concept.
She also wrote lyrics for many of their songs, so be sure to check them out in this playlist.
