Japanese Madonna: "Quit the band"

A women’s punk band that can blow away everything in daily life with raw, simple force like the Ramones: “Nihon Madonna.” Just as the title suggests, its message delivers a heart’s scream straight to you, and the thunderous sound resonates deep inside.

They are a bona fide punk band that reaffirms the liberating spirit of punk rock—regardless of gender or nationality—as the freest, most accessible music that belongs to everyone.

Transcending Time / Crea

Kureiwisu debuted in 1982 as the junior group to the yankee-style band Yokohama Ginbae.

The vocalist is Tetta Sugimoto, who is now active as an actor.

It’s hard to imagine from how he is now—he hardly seems like the same person.

This song was released as the single following “Burikko ROCK’N ROLL,” and its orthodox lyrics, posing questions common among young people, strike straight to the heart.

I’ve also heard that Sugimoto’s son is a drummer—the way talent runs in the family is fascinating.

Winter Zoo: “Closing Time Rattle Escape Special” / Air [Sunday, February 7, 2021, Shimokitazawa ERA]

This is a track included on Fuyuno Doubutsuen’s first album, “THE ZOO IN WINTER.” You could truly call them a “cool and cute” band.

The three-part harmonies are excellent as well.

The bittersweet yet forward-looking lyrics slip right into your heart.

It has a sense of speed and feels great to listen to.

KLARA CIRCUS – ANGEL ORPHAN/BOKU NO KATAMUKI (1987)

A laid-back, fluffy girls’ group formed by three female classmates from Chiba Prefecture.

While influenced by punk rock, they themselves exude a pastoral, fairytale-like warmth that defines their worldview.

This song also showcases their rich sensibilities, making it a gem whose balance of calmness and hysteria becomes utterly endearing.

Punk de Go!!

Lolita No.

18 is a band formed in 1989.

This track is from their 1999 album Toy Doll.

The album title appears to be a nod to the British band The Toy Dolls, whom they like.

As the title suggests, it’s a song with a strong punk flavor, featuring the distinctive contrast of a cute yet raspy lead vocal.
