Takoyaki Rainbow “Zesshō! The Girls Born in Naniwa” MUSIC VIDEO

Takoyaki Rainbow, a five-member idol group based in the Kansai region, was formed in September 2012 and drew attention as “Stardust’s ultimate weapon.” The bonds forged by its distinctive members while living together were fully displayed at fan interaction events.

Centered on pop music, they released songs packed with Kansai-style energy and humor, steadily building a track record that included reaching No.

1 on the USEN Weekly J-POP Chart.

They also served as officially recognized “Sele-jos” for Cerezo Osaka, establishing a strong local presence.

Until their much-regretted disbandment in May 2021, they continued to boldly take on new challenges such as live streaming on YouTube.

Their appeal lay in energetic performances and heartwarming Kansai-dialect banter.

Limit LoversSHOW-YA

SHOW-YA – Limit Lovers (from the DVD “Great Revival Festival”)

SHOW-YA is a rare all-female heavy metal band in Japan.

There are several Japanese heavy metal bands made up of women today, but SHOW-YA, who debuted in 1985, had such a major impact on later bands that it’s no exaggeration to say they marked the beginning of Japan’s female heavy metal scene.

All their songs are catchy yet heavy and highly recommended, but among them, the track “Genkai LOVERS” has a great sense of speed and is my top pick for a first SHOW-YA listen!
