When it comes to modern female-fronted bands, you can’t talk about the scene without mentioning tricot! These days they’re not only playing festivals across Japan but also actively performing overseas.

MPRINCESS PRINCESS
PRINCESS PRINCESS is a five-member girls’ band formed in 1983.
They’re known for Kaori Kishitani’s powerful vocals and the passionate performances of all the members.
They debuted with the 1986 mini-album “Kiss de Hanzai,” and went on to produce a string of hits such as “Sekai de Ichiban Atsui Natsu” and “Diamonds.” In 1989, they became the first all-female band to successfully perform at the Budokan, and their albums “LOVERS” and “PRINCESS PRINCESS” were million sellers.
Their hallmark is a perfect balance of rock and pop, with lyrics that compellingly reflect a woman’s perspective.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy powerful songs and energetic live performances.
Alstroemeriakomsume
Contrary to what their name might suggest, komsume blast out gritty, hard-hitting rock.
They’re a girls’ three-piece band from Kobe.
Since launching their first live show in May 2022, they’ve been winning people over with vocalist Ayumi’s husky, high-octane voice and lyrics that are dark, direct, and resonate with Gen Z—the combination packs a punch.
In February 2025 they released their second mini-album, “Futaiten,” and the track “Shoudou” was picked for a Spotify playlist.
Their momentum grew even more after ranking 3rd on Nippon TV’s Buzz Rhythm 02 “These Will Blow Up in 2025! BEST 10.” If you love high-energy, no-frills rock, put them on your must-listen roster.
