Tsukimi / Kiryu-Star Music Video

Formed in 2021 and calling themselves a “fired-up, destructive terrorist band from Iwaki, Fukushima,” Tsukimi is now taking the scene by storm as a three-piece: vocalist/guitarist Nini-chan, drummer Shuka, and bassist Tsukimi, who joined in June 2024.

With a straightforward punk-rock foundation and a natural, bare-all emotional vocal style, they’ve been drawing attention—and for those who want to try playing their songs, we’re highlighting Kiru Yustar this time.

Written in hiragana, the title has a cute ring to it, but the lyrics feel piercingly intense, even extreme.

It’s a song you can tackle if you have basic technique on each instrument, but we hope you’ll focus on delivering the emotion packed into the lyrics.

If you’re a beginner who struggles with the upbeat tempo, slow it down and practice gradually!

Kaneyori Masaru is a rock band that has won support, especially among young people, with songs that portray down-to-earth love stories.

Their 2024 release “Happy New Day” is filled with a warm message wishing to stay by the side of someone important.

Characterized by an interweaving rock sound of guitar, bass, and drums, the song unfolds with a simple structure that makes it recommended even for band beginners.

The key to the vocals riding on the energetic band performance is to start with a conversational tone in the verse and build up the intensity toward the chorus.

Nakigoto / “Kuse” [Music Video]

Nakigoto is a Tokyo-based duo formed in 2018, consisting of two members: Emiri Mizukami on guitar and vocals, and Ami Okada on guitar and backing vocals.

While they’ve gained popularity with a sound that doesn’t stay within a single genre, their 2020 release Kuse stands out for a UK rock-like sound that skillfully blends their delicacy with a dynamic edge.

If they deliver dramatic guitar rock, they’re sure to bring the house down.

For beginners, beyond the technical aspects, we recommend putting real effort into crafting the roaring, shoegaze-adjacent tones that appear in the hype moments.

By emulating Okada’s style—heavy use of spatial effects like delay and reverb—you’ll grow as a guitarist and surely broaden your musical palette.

[LIVE Footage] “Flashbacker” / Bocchi the Rock! - SPECIAL STUDIO LIVE -

Now a mainstay at music festivals, Kessoku Band has long since outgrown the label of a fictional band born from an anime, boasting widespread popularity.

It’s true that many of their songs are packed with techniques that can be tough for beginners, but the track introduced here, “Flashbacker,” has a relatively simple arrangement and doesn’t demand advanced techniques throughout, making it a solid choice to tackle.

Just note that playing it strictly as written can come off flat; aim for an ensemble that balances stillness and intensity, expressing the protagonist’s emotions in the song.

It’s a great way to learn the unique challenges of band ensemble playing—different from simply mastering difficult phrases.

MusicaBurandē Senki

Brandy Senki – Musica (Official Music Video)

Formed in Osaka in 2022, Brandy Senki has been attracting attention on the indie scene.

Set to make their major-label debut in 2025, the song that propelled their name into the spotlight, “Musica,” is a garage rock-style track infused with elements of kayōkyoku, characterized by its bouncy triplet feel.

With a lean, no-frills arrangement unique to a trio, beginner bands covering the song should focus less on the individual technical difficulty of each instrument and more on tight, unforgiving ensemble playing—prioritize practicing in sync as a group as much as possible.

Since it calls for a completely different approach than straight 8-beat, the rhythm section may struggle at first, but by slowing down the tempo and practicing repeatedly, you’ll naturally develop a solid groove.
