[For Beginners] Recommended Songs for Female Vocal Bands: Great for Choosing Your Setlist! [2026]

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.

RALLYCymbals

Cymbals ｢RALLY｣ (Official Music Video)

A late-’90s masterpiece that captures the push-and-pull of romance with deft melodies and a breezy pop sound.

The lyrics liken the psychological battle between a man and a woman to a tennis rally, brilliantly portraying the intellectual feints that toy with the other person, all polished by a driving, exhilarating arrangement.

Released in August 1999 and written and composed by Reiji Okii, the track is also included on the album “That’s Entertainment.” Its wry humor and Asako Toki’s transparent, airy vocals are a perfect match, making it a recommended song for anyone who wants to savor the sweet-and-sour taste of love.

Brandy War Chronicles – Last Live (Official Music Video)

Brandy Senki is a girls’ band that has earned high praise for their sophisticated musicality.

While their signature sound blends various genres—rock, Black music, techno, and more—this track, “Last Live,” is crafted as a more orthodox rock piece.

The vocal line, with its delicate glow, has a narrow range and lacks complex pitch shifts, making it a very singable song for women with lower voices.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

[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.
