Masterpieces by girls’ bands with great lyrics

The season of farewellSTEREOPONY

Stereopony - Season of Goodbye

This is Stereopony’s debut single, “Sayonara no Kisetsu.” No matter how you listen to it, isn’t it a song filled with melancholy from start to finish? The vocalist’s sorrowful yet sultry voice is incredibly pleasant to the ear.

And the lyrics, themed around “parting,” match the song perfectly—you’ll be moved to tears.

Silent Siren「Sweet Pop!」MUSIC VIDEO

Silent Siren’s debut single, “Sweet Pop!” As the title suggests, it’s a truly cute and exhilarating pop number.

It’s very easy to listen to and I think it’s a piece that puts you in a good mood.

The lyrics, which depict a girl’s bright feelings of love, match the music perfectly, making for a highly polished track.

Happy piece of crapSplit End

“Happy Scumbag” – Split end (Official Short Music Video)

This is Split end’s song “Happy Piece of Crap,” where a sense-of-speed melody meshes perfectly with a cute vocal.

The title alone is jaw-dropping—doesn’t it make you want to listen? Above all, the standout is the unique lyrics that are both self-deprecating and somehow uplifting; they really hit home.

The sense of style is outstanding.

BabySitter – My Song (Music Video)

This is the song “Boku no Uta” by BabySitter, a band formed in October 2015.

Its heartrending melody resonates deeply.

It’s simple, yet the sense of drive is irresistible.

The vocalist’s gentle, tender voice soothes the listener, and the positive lyrics are truly encouraging.

Shangri-LaChatmonchy

Chatmonchy – Shangri-La – Budokan 2008

Shangri-La is a song that stands as a landmark for girls’ bands, and one of Chatmonchy’s most wildly popular tracks.

It was released in 2006, but it hasn’t lost its luster at all.

Its extremely pop melody and lyrics that are bittersweet yet tinged with humor never get old.

I can listen to it forever.

REASONCREA

【CREA】「REASON」-music video-【Rock Band】MV

This is the song “REASON,” included on CREA’s mini-album “ANOTHER DOOR,” which was released nationwide on October 15, 2015.

This is exactly what classic rock sound means—it’s incredibly cool, and beautiful too.

The bittersweet melody overlapping with the powerful vocals is truly emotional.

The lyrics, which convey a determination to confront something unseen, come through intensely.

SpoonCibo Matto

Cibo Matto-Spoon

Formed in New York, Cibo Matto has been drawing international attention since 1994 as a unique and unconventional duo.

Their allure lies in inventive sound-making that boldly weaves elements like jazz and Brazilian music into a refined trip-hop and hip-hop foundation.

With their debut album Viva! La Woman, they garnered buzz—helped by a cutting-edge music video directed by Michel Gondry—and sold over 74,000 copies in the U.S.

In 2014, they made a comeback with the album Hotel Valentine, and their experimental, forward-thinking musical style remained intact, continuing to captivate an ever-growing audience.

They’re the perfect artist for anyone seeking fresh, boundary-crossing musical experiences.
