Girl SSCANDAL

This is the third single by the four-piece rock band SCANDAL, who have been energetically touring overseas since their indie days as students and have now become charismatic leaders among girl bands in the J-POP scene.

The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime BLEACH, and its catchy intro guitar riff and slap bass create a strong hook.

The melody is simple, making it recommended for beginner vocalists, but since there are many chorus parts, it affects the instrumental members in terms of singing as well, so care is needed when selecting it.

With a simple ensemble throughout, it’s a rock tune that’s fun to play together as a band.

The lyrics describe a bright, positive outlook that never forgets hope—wanting to have more of those sparkling, heart-pounding, exciting experiences.

The key is a bit on the high side, but the song’s familiarity and upbeat vibe will make you want to sing it.

That feeling, in turn, will give you a positive boost when you perform!

A song I’d recommend to female-vocal bands looking for something to perform at school events or live houses is “Kaze Fukeba Koi,” released in 2008 by the rock band Chatmonchy.

It opens with driving, fast-paced drums, followed by rhythmic guitar work and a lively bassline.

Eriko Hashimoto’s vocals, which vividly portray the bittersweet romance of youth, are a great fit for bands with a female singer.

Each instrument has standout moments in the arrangement, making it an excellent practice piece for beginner bands as well.

It’s a rock number that’s sure to resonate with students experiencing love during their school years.

SILENT SIREN – 「milk boy」
milk boySilent Siren

A coming-of-age song that expresses the aching emotions of falling into a sweet romantic trap through delicate melodies and a clear, translucent vocal that layers over them.

The protagonist’s feelings as they drown in an irresistible love and their strong yearning for the other person leave a lasting impression.

Included on the album “S,” this track was released in March 2016 and showcases the expanding musical range of Silent Siren.

Recommended for those who want to relate to a heart swayed by love, or who are looking for a sweet yet bittersweet love song.

This is singer-songwriter miwa’s 25th single, which also drew attention for her achievement in 2018 as the first female solo artist to successfully perform a solo acoustic guitar concert at Yokohama Arena.

Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Nagi’s Long Vacation,” it’s a cool number that contrasts her cute vocals with a hard-hitting rock sound.

It’s challenging due to its driving feel and overall high key, but it’s great fun to play as a band, so I highly recommend it.

If the key really doesn’t suit you, try tackling it flexibly by asking the instrumentalists to change the chords or by tuning down.

A Song That Wants to ChangeAbe Mao

A Song That Wants to ChangeAbe Mao

This is the 16th single by singer-songwriter Mao Abe, who drew attention after winning the “YAMAHA TEENS’ MUSIC FESTIVAL 2006 Oita Tournament” and made her major debut in 2008.

The song was used as the opening theme for the music program “musicるTV,” and its fast-paced rock sound really amps up the energy.

The overall vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s relatively easy to sing; in the chorus in particular, focusing on projecting your voice forward helps keep the melody from sounding flat.

As a straightforward rock number, it’s an upbeat tune that’s especially fun to play together as a band.

This is the third major-label single by Aimyon, a female singer-songwriter known for lyrics woven with a unique perspective and phrasing, and a nostalgic acoustic sound.

With words that resonated with many listeners and a refreshing ensemble, it became a massive hit, surpassing 100 million streams, and stands as one of her signature songs.

With no large melodic leaps and an overall low key, it’s easy to sing even for those taking on the role of vocalist in a band for the first time.

Its simple, relaxed arrangement makes it a number that every band member can enjoy with ease.
