From cute to cool: Masterpieces and recommended songs by uniquely individual girls' bands (51–60)
RUNKaneyori Masaru
As a live tune that puts a sense of speed and determination front and center, this track released by Kaneyori Masaru in August 2025 stands out.
The lyrics, which sing of the resolve to move forward while living in the present despite the struggle, are striking, and they convey the protagonist’s emotions—where restless urgency and hope intersect—with unfiltered clarity.
The simple yet powerful arrangement, characteristic of a three-piece band, is structured with an eye toward creating a sense of unity at live shows, and it’s also noteworthy that the members themselves were deeply involved in the video production, crafting props and even using their own personal items.
Having been performed at the Kanagawa show that marked the first day of their “roadmap to their first hall one-man” tour, it’s a song you’ll want to hear while envisioning the band’s growth and their sprint toward a new stage.
Highly recommended when you want to fire yourself up or need a push on your back.
The Night Before Goodbyeyayuyo
A love song playing from an earphone with the left side silent, the wavering feelings of a protagonist facing farewell at an evening station.
It’s rare to find a song that captures the bittersweetness residing in such small, everyday moments so vividly.
Written by Riko, the vocalist of Yayuyo, as the first song she ever composed, it was released as a single in December 2019 and was later included on the following year’s mini-album “Yayuyo.” After surpassing one million views on YouTube, this track quickly spread the band’s name far and wide.
While it sketches the premonition of parting over a buoyant rhythm, it also subtly reveals the protagonist’s strength as they try to look ahead.
With its driving guitar-rock energy and approachable melody, it’s a song I especially want those who are hurting from heartbreak yet determined to move forward to hear.
Moonlight ReverseRīgaru Rirī
Released in August 2024 as a pre-release track from the album “kirin,” this song marks a major turning point for Regal Lily.
Having handled their own arrangements until now, the band worked for the first time with an external producer—Seiji Kameda—to create this love song.
While the chorus’s repeated, aching sentiments evoke a distance that feels farther than the moon, the straightforward emotions hit you squarely in the chest.
The sound, where fragility and passion coexist, will resonate not only with alternative rock fans but also with those who seek the lyricism of ballads.
In the music video, actress Hana Sugisaki stars, visualizing the heartache that resurfaces when looking at the moon.
Honoka Takahashi has said that the process changed how she engages with words, making this a work that signals the band’s next stage.
StarlightBABYMETAL
It might be a little different from what you’d call a “band,” but please allow me to introduce them: BABYMETAL, a music group that fuses metal and idol culture.
They’re extremely popular overseas as well.
Their concerts and music festival appearances are always electric.
Their songs range from ones that retain an idol vibe to full-fledged metal sound.
They have a remarkably broad fan base.

The video features the song “Bubble,” which was used as the theme song for the drama Perfect Crime.

They are a three-piece girls band consisting of MIO (vocals, guitar), SHIZUKA (bass, backing vocals), and AMI (drums, backing vocals).
With their cute looks, fresh, vibrant singing, and solid musicianship, they deliver live shows that are guaranteed to excite the crowd.

A three-piece girls’ band formed in 1999, affectionately known to fans as “Mamire.” They’re known for explosive, unpredictable songs, and their live shows are just insanely cool! You’ll be blown away by vocalist Mari’s overwhelming energy and the band’s thick, powerful sound.
