Masterpieces by girls’ bands with great lyrics

Some people focus on the sound when they listen to music, while others pay attention to the lyrics.

This time, I’ve compiled a selection of songs by Japanese girl bands whose lyrics I’d like you to focus on.

They range from straightforward lyrics to ones that feel cleverly crafted.

Goodbye, Identityyonige

They’re a girls’ rock band.

Their appeal, beyond the quality of the band’s sound and melodies, also lies in how realistic the worldview of their lyrics is.

The song I’m introducing this time truly captures that lyrical worldview with a sense of realism, and I think it’s turned out very well.

This is the coupling track for the second single “Kamen Miha Joshi,” titled “In This City Where We Can’t See the Stars.” It’s packed with an overwhelming sense of speed, and the vocals are incredibly expansive—almost like a shout—overflowing with emotion.

The bittersweet yet somehow fleeting lyrical worldview is also one of the song’s highlights.

A song called “Naite mo Iindayo” included on the 2015 release TANCOBUCHIN vol.2 -TYPE A-.

The song was originally written by Miyuki Nakajima for Momoiro Clover Z, and this version is arranged for a band.

Its lyrics, which encourage you when you’re feeling down, gently yet powerfully touch the heart.

Let’s run away.yuyun

This is the song “Nigeyou,” included on the mini album.

Its unique worldview is absolutely captivating.

It’s a track that anyone can listen to and feel a sense of exhilaration.

And in contrast to the bright, upbeat melody, the subtly wistful lyrics further enhance the charm of the song.

This is the song “Hashiru Kodomo,” included on the second mini-album “the Radio,” released on July 5, 2017.

In contrast to its hefty rock sound, the gentle vocals leave a strong impression.

And perhaps its greatest appeal lies in the lyrics, which create a distinctive world that sparks all kinds of imagination.

I think it’s a song that can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener.

The ultimate love song.

That’s exactly what it feels like.

A bittersweet melody with powerful vocals—there’s nothing more to ask for; it’s perfect.

And what really stands out is the lyrics that capture the feelings of unrequited love.

Listening to it makes your heart ache in the best way.

If you’re currently crushing on someone, you won’t regret giving it a listen.

It’ll definitely be a source of strength for your heart.

This is a song called “Hoshigaoka Park,” included on the release hanamuke from November 22, 2017.

Its straightforward rock sound is pleasant, and the piece seems to emit the faint glow of youth.

The gritty, almost rough-hewn lyrics—like something a man might have written—lend the song an even more nostalgic quality.

It’s the kind of track you’ll want to listen to quietly on a bench in a park at night.
