MY LITTLE STARACID LOVE
In the early ’90s, on a different horizon from the visual-kei scene, ACID LOVE emerged as a four-woman band delivering simple, straight-ahead rock.
Formed in 1991 around guitarist RANDY, their music fused edgy guitar sounds with melody brimming with pop sensibility, offering an appeal that crossed the boundary between J-pop and rock.
In June 1993, they made their major-label debut with the single “Gyakuten! Love Sensation” on Toshiba EMI’s TM Factory label.
Their subsequent singles and the August 1994 album “A FATAL DOSE” drew attention for being produced by Keitaro Takanami, formerly of Pizzicato Five.
Through TV shows and commercial tie-ins, their songs reached a wide audience, leaving a vivid impression despite their brief period of activity.
As one of the distinctive girl bands of the ’90s, they’re definitely worth exploring.
MummifyMummy the Peepshow
In Japan’s indie scene of the ’90s, Mummy the Peepshow stood out as a girls’ band that blasted energetic garage punk while radiating an irresistibly pop charm.
Formed in Osaka in 1994, their sound fused glittering melodies and catchy riffs atop a base of garage and noise punk—an aesthetic that was distinctly their own.
Their debut album, Mummy Builion, was released in 1998 on the BENTEN label, and subsequent records like This is Egg Speaking… and the classic Electric Rollergirl made a powerful impact on the scene at the time.
In 2000 they performed at SXSW in the United States, drawing international attention, and their influence spread even further when one of their songs was featured in the Xbox game Far Cry Instincts.
Maki Mummy, the guitarist and vocalist, was the band’s powerful core presence.
If you’re curious about the cute yet punky sound of ’90s girl bands, definitely give them a listen!
