A wonderful Japanese music band

Japanese bands recommended for junior high school students

I think many people first pick up an instrument in middle school.

I’d like to introduce some bands that could inspire you to start your own band.

They’re all super cool and passionate—absolute must-listens for middle schoolers!

Recommended Japanese bands for junior high school students (91–100)

Explosive Pannier-santricot

tricot “Bakuretsu Pannier-san” MV
Explosive Pannier-santricot

This is a signature song by the band tricot, whose member Ikkyu—also well known as the vocalist of the recently buzzworthy band “Genie High”—belongs to.

I’d love for middle school girls who are getting interested in bands to know that rock isn’t just for men and that there are amazing musicians in girls’ bands.

Maplesupittsu

Spitz is a veteran band, but their soothing tempos and uniquely Spitz lyrical world resonate across generations, captivating listeners—especially women.

While many of their songs are well known among older audiences, there are plenty we’d love to pass on to the next generation, making them essential listening.
