Popular Japanese girls band song ranking [2026] (21–30)
When the wind blows, loveChatto Monchī21rank/position
A song I’d recommend to female-vocal bands looking for something to perform at school events or live houses is “Kaze Fukeba Koi,” released in 2008 by the rock band Chatmonchy.
It opens with driving, fast-paced drums, followed by rhythmic guitar work and a lively bassline.
Eriko Hashimoto’s vocals, which vividly portray the bittersweet romance of youth, are a great fit for bands with a female singer.
Each instrument has standout moments in the arrangement, making it an excellent practice piece for beginner bands as well.
It’s a rock number that’s sure to resonate with students experiencing love during their school years.
LILLYHump Back22rank/position
This is a song by Hump Back, a band steadily gaining popularity in the Japanese rock scene as a next-generation girls’ rock band.
The runtime is about two minutes, and it really ends in the blink of an eye.
But precisely because of that, there are no unnecessary arrangements—the performance by the instrumentalists and the vocals of guitarist Momoko Hayashi come through directly.
This song’s straightforward message is incredibly appealing.
While the lyrics might make it feel like a love song, it’s actually said to be a song about a dog that Momoko Hayashi used to have!
Limit LoversSHOW-YA23rank/position
This song resonates with the heartfelt desires of a woman seeking passionate, exhilarating love, carried by a powerful heavy metal sound.
Featuring commanding vocals and fierce guitar work, it was released as a single in February 1989, peaking at No.
13 on the Oricon charts and selling over 300,000 copies.
It was also used in a commercial for Showa Shell Sekiyu and became one of SHOW-YA’s signature tracks.
Embracing both the strength and vulnerability of women, it speaks to anyone who wishes to rediscover their true self, and is sure to strike a chord.
Shunkan SentimentalSCANDAL24rank/position
Known as an ending theme for Fullmetal Alchemist, this song captivates with its high-energy beat-rock sound and sentimental atmosphere.
Released in February 2010 as SCANDAL’s fifth single, it also performed well on the Oricon charts.
The band members reportedly read the entire original manga and watched all of the anime.
It’s perfect not only as entertainment for year-end or New Year’s parties, but also for anyone who wants to enjoy a girls’ band sound.
Learn the choreography and dance together—there’s no doubt the whole venue will come alive as one!
The hottest summer in the worldPRINCESS PRINCESS25rank/position
PRINCESS PRINCESS opened the door for girls’ bands.
Many women in their 50s probably admired them.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “The Hottest Summer in the World.” This track is notable for its extremely catchy vocal line.
While the range is relatively high at mid2A to hiD, it’s quite narrow.
Since there aren’t any difficult phrases in any section, if you can keep your pitch steady, it’s definitely possible to aim for a score in the 90s at karaoke.
Hoshigaoka ParkHump Back26rank/position
When it comes to standout girls’ rock bands of the 2020s, you really can’t talk about the scene without mentioning them! If you’re looking for songs to cover with a girls’ band, chances are their tracks naturally make your shortlist.
This song is one of their signature tunes, notable for its nostalgic lyrics and melody.
The guitar part mainly uses open chords and octave playing, with occasional bridge mutes and arpeggios.
It’s packed with rock guitar fundamentals, making it a great choice for beginners.
The bass and drums aren’t complex either, and the tempo isn’t too fast, so it’s easy to practice!
Summer loverSHISHAMO27rank/position
“Natsu no Koibito” is a 2016 single by SHISHAMO that depicts the end of a summer romance.
Its relaxed tempo pairs perfectly with Asako Miyazaki’s calm vocals.
The longing to stay with someone you love, and the conflict of knowing you can’t—those emotions come through vividly in the lyrics, and it really hits you when you listen.
It’s also included on the album “SHISHAMO 4,” and it’s a perfect song for the end of summer.
If you’ve ever had a dramatic love story, it’ll surely resonate.
Plus, the a cappella section that appears in the latter half is absolutely goosebump-inducing, so be sure to give it a listen.
Don’t Bite The DustLOVEBITES28rank/position
The highly addictive guitar riff is cool.
It’s a song by the girls’ metal band LOVEBITES.
It’s included on their 2017 mini-album “THE LOVEBITES EP.” The energetic vocals are deeply moving.
Don’t Say LazyHōkago Tī Taimu29rank/position
K-On!, an anime that gained such popularity in the late 2000s to early 2010s that it could be called a social phenomenon, inspired many aspiring young musicians.
The songs by the in-story band Ho-kago Tea Time were released on CD, became hits on the Oricon charts, and sparked a wave of “I tried playing it” videos.
Many K-On!-related tracks require advanced performance skills, and there were surely many people who tried playing them and gave up because they were too difficult.
The hugely popular song introduced here, “Don’t Say ‘Lazy,’” features a bass line that’s largely root-note based and relatively simple in arrangement, making it approachable even for beginner bassists.
The phrases that make effective use of rests rely on open strings, so be sure to focus on muting properly to prevent unwanted noise.
If you’re struggling with the melodic phrase in the middle section, start by slowing the tempo and practicing at an easier speed.
The 2/4 measure that appears right before the final chorus is an important part where the bass steps into the spotlight, so do your best to nail that section as well!
Love and Liesakai kouen30rank/position
A song by Akai Ko-en that portrays sweet yet bittersweet feelings of love.
With delicate words, it weaves the story of a girl’s budding romance as spring arrives.
The tension of being next to someone she likes and the clumsiness that makes her hide her true self resonate deeply.
While capturing the instability of love, this piece gently sings of the yearning to fall in love anyway.
Released in August 2017, it was also used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Ousama no Brunch.” It’s the perfect track for those moments when you want to bask in the warmth of spring and sink into a faintly bittersweet mood.
It may awaken nostalgic memories of love sleeping in your heart.
