BTW, does anyone love Mina from the unfortunately departed GirlFreind Band? She kicked Davie504's butt in a "slapdown!" She does some truly amazing stuff on her KZbin channel 🙏🕊&❤

Regarding Miho's technical abilities on bass: I'm sure you are aware, Miho and Haruna share a common work history previous to LOVEBITES; one of those bands being Destrose, a group which has produced some of the greatest female icons in Japanese rock and metal history. Many are of the opinion that she is not as technically savvy as some of her contemporaries, but I beg to disagree. Miho and Haruna, the bands co-founders, decided early on that the rhythm section should be dedicated to supporting the quitars and the vocalist. Bass and drum solos are a rare occurrence in LOVEBITES performances. To prove my point may I suggest you watch her with the group - CHAOS CONTROL - The Legacy Within (OFFICIAL VIDEO) here on KZbin. 🙏 🕊&❤ P.S. Love your channel so I just became a new subscriber 🕊on 🌏

🙏 Great list! 🕊&❤️

Excellent choices! 🙏 🕊&❤️

Super!

Queen Miyako for me every time - super talented and can play so many instruments

A severely underrated one: Tohko from Saiseiga (ex-Zettai Club). She is very, very skilled.

Miyako for me every time

and for the entire video you pay a hunk of PURE GARBAGE NOISE instead of playing a piece with each musician in it. DUMB.

#1 miyako and #2 midori it really is that simple!!!!!

You could easily argue Band Maid has the best: Guitarist Bassist Drummer Rhythm Section (bass and drum working together) … and you might be right.

Agree. Kanami. Writes all the band’s music, she has zero ego, always thinks of her bandmates, you can tell by the music. And she is a riff making machine.

All of them, of course, are absolutely talented, as are many other female guitarists from Japan who are not included in the list because it would become endless. But Hal-ka is another planet.

Underrated guitarist : Yuki from East of Eden. Wait 2 years she will become your best 5

These 5 guitarists are all great but also I like Saki of Nemophila/Mary's Blood, Midori of Lovebites and Narumi (ex-Destrose, ex-Disqualia, ex-Lonesome Blue)

Saki is number one!!!😮😊❤

TOMO-ZO

You skipped KURONEKO from Onmyouza, who in my opinion is the best... almost twenty-five years of singing at the highest level, with perfect technique and magical stage presence.❤ On your list I would placed Fuki first, but I agree that Remi is great.👍 I would also add honorable mentions to Mari Hamada and her sister Eri, to Kiyoe Yoshioka of the pop-rock trio/duo Ikimonogakari, one of the most beautiful and sweet voices I have ever heard... and finally to Yuko Suzuhana of Wagakki Band.

All of your picks are great, but you forgot to include someone who is extremely talented, and that is Li-sa-X. I've seen her play together with Hazuki, who I adore, but Lisa is just something otherworldly. She plays a lot of jazz, rockabilly and bluegrass, which can be pretty tough to excel in. That said, as an all-around guitarist, I have to go with Mincho. I've seen her play live three times live and it was like watching a female version of Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton.

Kanami is a generational talent for both composition and playing, my favorite by far, in a band with my other favorites each and every one. I have seen nothing else like, it not even close in, 72 yrs.

Then there's Chizuru Segawa.

Of course KANAMI!!!! She is the best! She is a guitar QUEEN!!!!!

The barefoot assassin by far 🤟

I would suggest BabySaster.

Hi,Japan guitar good,great.zealous & okay somekinda John Pepsi Holland man but great.Thanks.Peter shah kali.p.k.😊

みくちゃんの島根を巡る旅は、あなたの素が出ていて本当に愉快で楽しい

I love tonitrus and stake driver

このリストは個人的には好き。順番は違うけど自分の場合でも似たような人選になる。

Hal-Ca is a BEAST. (and thanks for adding Miyako to your list ;) )

FAMI!!!!

My favorite female Japanese drummer is Haruka from Fate Gear! I know drums and all these girls are awesome but Haruka is on another level. Check her out! 🥁🤘 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKa2anilmrpreM0

A little sad that Yoshida Sakura, my personal favourite, didn't make the list, but have a like all the same. And no, I don't think Sakura is better than Kanami or vice-versa, because Kanami plays and composes hard rock songs and Sakura plays and composes heavy metal songs. Both are great!

Miku is ultimately cuteness, PO.

Por supuesto todas son unas talentosas guitarristas unas más que otras. Por supuesto todas son atractivas unas más que otras. Como en cuestión de colores a cada uno le gusta uno más que otros yo digo...Todas son número uno man. Lo pillas.

I like your choices, especially Band Maid. But I never see SCANDAL get any love. I know they are more rock than metal, kind of like you mixed The Bangles and the Go Go's and they had a baby with Steve Miller. 16 years and still going strong and are as relevant today as they were a decade ago. And I love Tomomi's voice, it really resonates.

BandMADEのmisaは外人ウケするルックスだよね

While I love all five of these, I can't help missing Misa and Mitsuru from Bridear.

Great picks!!! I am a huge fan of Band Maid, Bridear and Scandal.

What is the song playing over the video??? Must have it!!!

There are some amazing drummers, but anyone who impresses rock legend Jimmy Page is number one in my opinion. We Maidiacs love our human Gorilla, RIP tiny hat indeed 🎩

wonderfull

Love this lady. Just stay as you are.

Great picks! Personally, I’d switch Kanami with Hal-Ca!! I love Miyako as well! Maybe I can do a tie

Suzuka Nakamoto has the finest voice in the history of rock.

Can’t disagree with this list. Of course BandMaid is number one.

The drummer is also awesome. I believe she is the drum master, Terri Bozzio's daughter. 😎 Abide

Saki and/or Yuki should be in there somewhere, Imo. Saki is a technical beast, even Herman Li was speechless during a jam session. Yuki from D_Drive, I love watching her live performance of Unkind Rain. It's like getting the technical prowess of Steve Vai coupled with the emotional feel of Stevie Ray Vaughan. Either way, good list. Not too familiar with Hal-Ca but I'll definitely check her out.

The most intelligent and technical with the most stamina.(from a old drummer of 65 years old)🐺.

You made great choices for YOUR favorites, of course some folks won't have the same picks, but that's okay, everyone has their own tastes. I was blown away by Kanami watching the Thrill video the first time 🤯 to see & hear her solo, and her level of virtuosity I sat there with my mouth agape. Then the rhythm section of Akane & MIsa was astounding too. They were the first band that made me start searching for other Japanese bands to check out, there are several to choose from.

Hell Yeah !!! Great choice !!!! As mentioned before, her consummate skill at fills is legendary. It's like she has her finger on every pulse in the group and knows exactly what to do and when to do it. And with Misa and Kanami they are a power trio that is unmatched. And she is at her happiest when she is eating, lol. Banana peels anyone ?????
