DESTROSE – Maze (FULL MV 480p)

Despite undergoing multiple lineup changes, the girls’ metal band DESTROSE remained highly active and even pulled off a successful U.S.

tour.

Their sound, heavy yet catchy, is genuinely steeped in the heat and power of traditional hard rock.

Although they went on hiatus in 2015, they profoundly influenced later generations of girls’ metal bands.

Chirol 'The Sky Is Always Clear and Blue' MV

Chirol’s “The Sky Is Always Clear and Blue” makes you forget the harsh summer heat.

This song is one of the great tracks by a girls’ band that conveys emotional passion.

Their performance skills are exceptional; the powerful vocals and guitar intertwine with a bass and drum groove that makes your body sway, delivering a wonderfully satisfying sound.

It’s also a great pick for cover bands—guitar, bass, and drum parts are all simple, so beginners can play with confidence!

The Wisely Brothers Thousand Vinegar [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Released in July 2014, this song is included on The Wisely Brothers’ second single, “HEMMING EP.” The lyrics describe a date with a mutual-love boyfriend.

It’s a love song portraying a close, affectionate couple—meeting again today, wanting to see each other again tomorrow—while also conveying a sense of awkwardness, as the singer struggles to express their feelings well.

bonobos – Cruisin’ Cruisin’

If you want to fall asleep feeling safe and without thinking about anything, no matter what kind of night it is, I recommend bonobos’ “Cruisin’ Cruisin’”! It’s included on the album “23-ku,” released in 2016.

Whether your day was fun or had a few unpleasant moments, when you go to sleep, it’s your own private world.

The lyrics convey a feeling of “So sleep easy.” Drifting off to this song will let the day’s bad moments fade away in a world of happy dreams, and if you had a great day, it will show you even more delightful scenes—like stepping into a mysterious, magical world.

tsushimamire / Matsuri [PV]

A slightly eccentric summer rock number.

Since it’s called “Matsuri,” the Japanese taiko drums add a nice flavor, but I can’t help feeling they get a bit overshadowed by the eccentric, borderline perverse vibe of the vocals.

Then again, maybe that’s just fine.

The way it wraps up neatly with a slapped bass at the end is also quite nice.

Well done.

The Coinlockers / I Like the Melancholy Sky Music Video

The Coinlockers is a girl-band idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto, the producer behind the AKB48 Group and the Sakamichi Series.

While summer typically evokes images of a deep blue, crystal-clear sky and a dazzling sun, this work, “I Like Melancholy Skies,” as the title suggests, sings about a fondness for overcast skies.

Indeed, when something is weighing on your mind, the blazing sun can feel oppressive.

Without forcing your mood upward, this brisk number somehow lightens your heart as you listen.

BimBamBoom / Shinzo BakuBaku Ochokochoi

BimBamBoom is a five-member girls’ instrumental band.

They thoroughly digest funk as their roots music and, on that foundation, develop a uniquely pop ensemble—making them a band to watch.

Their performance at the FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL in 2016 also drew attention.
