snowNakanomori BAND
Yuki, sung by the girls’ band Nakanomori BAND, formed by gathering highly skilled members around lead vocalist Ayako Nakanomori.
This release is a double A-side single paired with Isoburabō: Isoburabō was written and composed by Hiroto Kōmoto of The Cro-Magnons, while this song was written and composed by Masatoshi Mashima.
The melody, steeped in a masculine wistfulness, and the lyrics that lay bare the growing feelings for that girl amid the falling snow strike straight at the heart.
Nakanomori’s wrung-out vocals also overflow with aching emotion.
Please enjoy this masterpiece that transcends the bounds of a “girls’ band.”
White AfternoonPoppin’party
Poppin’Party, affectionately known as “Popipa,” is a fictional band that appears in BanG Dream!, a franchise that spans multiple media.
At the same time, it’s also a full-fledged girls’ band whose voice actresses not only sing but actually play instruments.
They’ve even broken out beyond the realm of voice-actor units, boasting popularity that includes performing at COUNTDOWN JAPAN, the music festival planned and produced by rockin’on japan.
Their 2019 release “White Afternoon” was put out as a digital-only track for a collaborative commercial with Afternoon Tea (Kirin Gogo no Kocha), and it has the potential to be cherished for years as a new classic winter song.
It’s a brisk, driving guitar rock number that feels both refreshing and bittersweet, and the keyboard—taking an almost star turn—has a wonderfully classic J-pop flavor.
Pay attention to the distinct vocal personalities of each member as they sing lyrics that paint a picture of thoughts about a dazzling “dream” on a winter afternoon.
Set aside any preconceptions and give it a listen.

mufflerSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is a girls’ rock band.
Have you listened to their winter-themed EP, “Boots a-Knockin’”? I’d like to introduce “Muffler,” a track that carries an especially positive message.
It features a mid-tempo, guitar-driven sound and sings a vow to “never forget the past.” It’s moving how the act of wrapping a scarf expresses the firmness of that vow.
Another appeal is its openness to interpretation—both as a love song and as an anthem of encouragement.
