I won’t forget it.kessoku bando

[Lyric Video] Kessoku Band “I Won’t Let Myself Forget” / In-episode song from TV anime “Bocchi the Rock!” Episode 12

Despite being a fictional band born from an anime, Kessoku Band has become hugely popular, drawing in both Japanese and Western rock listeners.

Based on a hit manga and adapted into a TV anime in 2022, Bocchi the Rock! instantly won over not only anime fans but also music lovers, as mentioned earlier.

Framed as the debut album by Kessoku Band as they appear in the show, the self-titled album released in 2022 became an extraordinary hit and a major talking point.

From among Kessoku Band’s tracks, this piece will introduce “I Won’t Forget.” It’s an undisputed killer tune, performed first during the cultural festival scene in episode 12 of the anime.

It works perfectly as a cute slice of girls’ rock, and the restless, roaming guitar lines brilliantly capture Kessoku Band’s signature feel.

Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics as well: they explore complicated feelings about youth without getting too heavy, yet without tipping too far into positivity—striking a finely balanced tone.

Sabasister – Jersey Music Video

Formed in 2022 around vocalist/guitarist Nachi, born in 2002, Sabasister is a girls’ trio drawing attention at home and abroad, having even landed a slot at SUMMER SONIC that same year.

Nachi’s lyrics capture everyday moments in a way anyone can relate to, but their perspective differs from typical bittersweet love songs or radiant youth anthems, giving them a distinctive, intriguing personality.

The song “Jersey” introduced here may seem at first like a breakup tune using a jersey as a motif, but it actually came from Nachi’s experience of having a green jersey she was about to buy on Mercari snatched by someone else.

The simple, punkish sound, cute vocals with harmonies, and irresistibly catchy melodies are utterly charming—it’s easy to see why they drew early attention.

If you’re looking for up-and-coming girl bands, this is one to check out now!
