The Great Escape PlanLuov
If you want to blast away everyday frustrations with invigorating rock ’n’ roll, here’s the perfect pick for female-fronted bands: the opening track from Luov’s debut EP, “LUOV”! The lyrics, which portray the urgent desire to break free from suffocating daily life and the bonds shared with friends, are sure to resonate.
Released in April 2025, this song is brimming with the freshness of their very first step.
When playing it as a band, your top priority should be tight rhythm to capture that sense of speed! Drummers should lock in a solid straight 8-beat, and guitarists should use a clean-to-crunch tone that highlights a clear, airy vocal like HALDONA’s—then go all out strumming in the chorus to let the emotions explode.
Play it at a school festival and it’s guaranteed to bring the house down!
Hold me, señoritaYamashita Tomohisa
Tomohisa Yamashita, known by his nickname Yamapi, was a member of the idol group NEWS from 2003 to 2011.
In 2006, Yamapi released his long-awaited debut solo single, Daite Señorita, which was used as the theme song for the TBS drama Kurosagi.
The song’s intro is cool and memorable.
As an idol song, its vocal range is relatively narrow, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident with high notes.
The opening of the first verse is quite low, so it may be tricky to hit the pitches, but if you sing carefully, you’ll be fine.
There’s also a simple choreography in the chorus, so try enjoying it while keeping the rhythm.
Double FistThug Murder
Formed in Tokyo in November 1999 at the tail end of the ’90s, Thug Murder was a three-piece all-female street punk band that etched a vivid memory into the punk scene both in Japan and abroad despite their lightning-fast activity period of just two years.
Rooted in street punk and Oi!, their sound drew listeners with its unadorned directness and defiant energy.
After releasing their self-titled EP “Thug Murder” in 1999, they broke into the U.S.
in 2001 with the album “13th Round” on Dropkick Murphys’ label.
The record earned strong support from American punk fans and media alike.
The fact that they grabbed overseas attention in such a short time after forming—and even toured with Dropkick Murphys—speaks to their prowess.
Their English lyrics delivered with a distinctly Japanese accent were also embraced as a one-of-a-kind hallmark.
If you’re looking for punk rock brimming with raw first-impulse energy or a tough, cool all-girl band, Thug Murder is a must-listen.

Amid the bustle of the city, the blazing memories of a past romance suddenly come rushing back.
Those bittersweet scenes are delivered on a powerful soundscape.
Why not give it a listen on a summer evening, when you’re in a slightly sentimental mood?

Dancing MistKikuchi Masabumi
Masanori Kikuchi, the genius pianist affectionately known as “Poo-san,” left a major mark on Japanese jazz history with his innovative 1970 album POO-SUN.
Recorded at Victor Studio, the session brought together top-tier players who represent Japan’s jazz scene, including Kosuke Mine and Hideo Ichikawa.
At the time, Kikuchi was strongly influenced by Miles Davis, and his musical curiosity crystallized into a fresh sound that fused fusion and the avant-garde.
All six tracks were newly composed by Kikuchi, and the experimental approach—incorporating elements of free improvisation—still shines with undimmed brilliance today.
This landmark album is highly recommended for those who want to push beyond the conventional boundaries of jazz or are seeking a new musical experience.
