Recommended Japanese bands with female vocals

Bands with female vocalists are wonderful—not just for their singing, but also for the expressiveness they bring to the music, lyrics, and every aspect of their performance, in ways only women can.

For that reason, I think many people are looking for recommendations of bands with female vocalists.

In this article, I’ll introduce some great bands with female singers! I’ve picked a wide range—from cool, hard-rocking bands that can hold their own against any male act, to groups known for their beauty and elegance.

Let’s dive right in!

DOUNARUNO?SpecialThanks

SpecialThanks is a mixed-gender band led by female vocalist Misaki.

Their guitar-driven sound is distinctive, and Misaki’s punkish vocals and English-lyric melodies ride on top, making them very easy to listen to.

In addition to English lyrics, they also have Japanese lyrics—not just words tailored to the melody or style, but ones that express the beauty of the Japanese language in a relatable way.

They’re a band you won’t want to take your eyes off in the future!

Akaikoen is a highly skilled all-female band formed by senior and junior members of a high school light music club.

They initially drew attention with their distinctive live performances, including wearing all-white outfits, and made their major debut in 2012.

Although they continued to work energetically, due in part to the sudden passing of a member, they unfortunately disbanded in 2021.

FERN PLANET was formed in 2017 by SERINA on guitar and vocals and Meiko Yamaguchi on bass and backing vocals.

Haruki Mizuguchi joined once but later left, and the band continued as a duo.

The tight, low register of SERINA’s voice and the beauty of her high tones make for an addictive harmony.

Their rock ’n’ roll sound and poised presence are seriously cool, too.

Although they went on hiatus in December 2019, it seems they’ll continue their musical activities, so here’s hoping they make a comeback.

School Food Punishment is a band that has gained popularity for a sound centered on rock and electronica.

Their musicality, born from a distinctive lineup of vocals, synthesizer, bass, and drums, is highly unique.

“you may crawl” is a work packed with their signature style.

While authentic electronica appears throughout, the overall result is alternative rock leaning close to pop music, making it exceptionally accessible.
