ZELDA was a pioneering girls’ band that was active in the 1980s.

This track is from their 1985 album “Sora-iro Boushi no Hi” (Sky-Colored Hat Day).

P.S. I LOVE YOUPINK SAPPHIRE

PINK SAPPHIRE rose to popularity and made their debut after appearing on the talent-scouting audition show “Ikasu Dance Tengoku.” While their performances carry a heavy hard/metal edge, the vocals are clear and make the songs easy to listen to.

SCANDAL is an all-girl band that made their major debut in 2008.

Drop’s “Kowashite” opens with an intro whose sound evokes ’80s rock and blows listeners away.

It doesn’t feel dated, likely thanks to the band’s cute looks and solid musicianship.

It’s a song I want to listen to when I need a calming break from studying.

WalkORESKABAND

Oreskaband is an all-girl ska band formed in 2003.

After their major-label debut in 2006, they began performing live not only across Japan but around the world.

I think an all-female ska band is quite rare.

This track features a stylish sound with strong AOR elements and an upbeat groove.

rinsePapaya Paranoia

Papaya Paranoia is a band known for its solid musicianship and flashy stage presence.

Upon its release in 1986, this work sold out immediately and is now referred to as a “phantom record.” It’s a piece that explodes with the fervor of the punk generation.
