jerseySabasusutā
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.

Heavenly KirinRīgaru Rirī
Formed in their high school light music club and debuting as they were, Regal Lily has now become a popular band.
When it comes to channeling a longing for someplace beyond here, no one can surpass vocalist Takahashi’s crystal-clear voice! This track, too, blends shoegaze and alternative into a powerful guitar-driven rock sound.
It’s included on the album “kirin,” released in July 2024, and was pre-released on Tanabata.
It’s a recommended song that will bring back memories of your school days, get you fired up, and give you the energy to take on tomorrow.

These days, there are more and more women into metal, and they’re among them—so-called “metal girls.” They wear glamorous outfits and have a flashy look; people like them are referred to as “jō-metal” (ladies’ metal).
Their performances are insanely cool.

The music video also evokes the atmosphere of the 1980s, so be sure to check it out.
19 years oldchakura
As the title suggests, I especially want 19-year-olds to give this a listen! It’s a song by the girls’ band Chakra, formed in 2022, released in April 2023.
It’s packed to the brim with the sound and vocals that only come at the moment when “every member is 19.” The lyrics capture the feeling of “wanting to live true to myself even while I’m struggling,” and their down-to-earth words are truly moving.
