START DASH★rasonburu
Rassemble is a girls’ rock band with an average age in the early 20s, delivering unadorned feelings through a straight-ahead rock sound.
Created to mark their first anniversary, this track is an uplifting anthem that shines a light on listeners’ hearts, carrying a warm yet powerful message from guitarist-vocalist Sora: “We won’t leave anyone behind.
Let’s start running together.” The lyrics begin by revealing a gentle sense of anxiety, then transform into a resolve to step into the future with friends—an honest reflection of the band’s true self.
Released as their fourth digital single in April 2025, the song features meticulous arpeggios, a counter-melody guitar, and an exhilarating 8-beat ensemble.
It’s a perfect pick to try on a culture festival or school festival stage when you want to share positive energy with the crowd.

If you enjoy lively, catchy girls’ rock, be sure to check out Glass Slippers Won’t Be Dropped.
It portrays warm yet bittersweet feelings born from the urge to see someone dear who’s gone away for school or work, contrasted with the reality of not being able to meet.
The A-melodic sections are simple but make great use of space in the ensemble, and the chorus bursts with a sense of speed.
Released in March 2025, the track was selected as a Power Play on AIR-G’ (FM Hokkaido) that same month.
It’s also perfect for cultural festivals or anyone looking to deliver refreshing guitar rock that grabs the audience’s heart.
Enjoy the driving feel and dynamic ensemble!
dramaticthe peggies
The girls’ trio the peggies sadly went on hiatus in 2022.
There are surely people who spent their youthful days alongside the music of these artists who raced through the 2010s.
Their songs—rooted in solid musicianship and taste, and infused with a modern sensibility that goes beyond the confines of a rock band—are all top-tier, and they gained popularity, even being chosen for tie-in songs with hit anime.
Here, I’d like to introduce Dramatic, included on their second major-label album, The GARDEN.
With its supple, danceable rhythm, stylish chord progressions, lyrics that lift your spirits, a melody that resonates, and a voice that’s both strong and sweet at its core, it’s a superb killer tune.
Perfect as background music for a drive with someone you love!
I won’t forget it.kessoku bando
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.
DiamondsPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS is one of the bands that best represent 1980s J-pop, more than just a girls’ band.
Among the many all-female bands, they were the most commercially successful.
This song, released in 1989, is one that should be remembered as an anthem of youth.
Ready to RockBAND-MAID
An irresistible track with a powerful hard rock sound! Released in April 2025 by BAND-MAID, it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rock Is a Lady’s Refinement.” This energetic number fuses forceful guitar riffs with driving drum beats to create a stunning sonic experience.
You can also enjoy the synergy between the lyrics—centered on self-realization and passion—and the music.
In producing the anime, the band members themselves handled the motion capture, faithfully recreating realistic performance scenes, which became a hot topic.
Give it a listen when you want to recharge your energy or push forward toward a new goal!
