If you still want to see a great Japanese female band, don't miss Lovebites. If you fall down this rabbit hole, you're not coming out of it anytime soon. They play a lot of metal styles. A lot of times they mix it up within songs. The singer sings in English, just with an accent. I recommend a thrash metal song to start with. The interesting thing about this song, or rather the concert, is that it was held during the COVID epidemic on March 26, 2021 in Tokyo. The reason for the restrained applause in the auditorium is because that's all the organizers allowed. No shouting or jumping was allowed. Of course, with proper side distance and mask use. Another interesting fact is that the black-haired guitarist here was about 4-5 months pregnant. Have fun! Lovebites - Set The World On Fire --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rdpHtsnqySbMU

Thank you for featuring Hagane (pronounced HA-ga-neh). They have to be considered one of the hot, up and coming groups, though they had to go through a major reboot in 2023. They were originally a five-piece with dual leads; they have recently re-formed as a four piece (more on that below). The initial lineup came together in 2018, just as they were all finishing high school. Founding guitarist Sakura had been posting metal covers on youtube since she was 14, and gained notoriety as a technical beast with a taste for ferocious shredding. That is how most of the other band-members found her. Original lineup: Vocal: Chiemi Guitar : Sakura Yoshida (also writes and arranges most of the music) Guitar : Mayto Bass : Sayaka Drum : Kanako Takahashi (b. 2001) In 2019, Chiemi left and was replaced by Uyu. The band released three concert DVDs and a full-length album (“Code 9021”) during her tenure. From that lineup: “Soul Beats”: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWmxhYWAlN6Hrrs The rhythm line seamlessly melds rock and funk throughout. The guitar solo is classic jazz fusion, but with distortion. The heavy use of minor and diminished scales gives it a vaguely middle-eastern vibe, but jacked up to searing intensity. “Super Villan” kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3TUq6Bmo7qrmK8 Huge guitar duel, with give and take and a lot of experimental ideas. “Black Cult” kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnTLlnxsYrKKnrs From their most recently released album, another with lots of musical ideas, more guitar dueling, and powerful vocals from Uyu. In early 2023, the band announced the departures of three members-Uyu, Mayto and Kanako. They spent the next year rebuilding. They have re-formed as a four-piece, with the already famous Junna on drums. Junna was previously one of the original members of Kakumei (later rebranded as Trident), and has a popular youtube channel where she posts hyperactive solo drum covers of metal songs. New vocalist Nagi has replaced Uyu. This is her first professional gig. Hagane 3.0: Guitars: Sakura Bass: Sayaka Drums: Junna Vocals: Nagi Hagane are clearly playing in a similar space as groups like Mary’s Blood, Bridear, Nemophila and Lovebites-melodic, hard, heavy and technical. Early on, however, they developed their own signature sound, built around exotic scales, syncopated rhythms and the aforementioned high-octane shredding. Their songwriting is mature, far beyond what you should be able to expect from a bunch of people this young. The new lineup have released an EP, “Life Goes On”, with five tracks including an instrumental. Despite not having the dual attack, it looks like they haven’t lost a step-Junna is insane as ever on drums, and Sakura is just on fire. Here are two tracks: “Tengagoken” (official video): (you just watched this) and “Hero Time”, (official live): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6aseKeHg8qmrpI Other bandmembers: Uyu formed her own band, which largely focuses on covers of other metal groups, especially Babymetal. She and Mayto also co-founded a band called Mana Diagram, with three other members. They have all worked on other projects. Kanako is also an elite musician and has been in a couple of bands since leaving Hagane.

[@isobar5857]

They are just phenomenal...all of them. Unlike a lot of other bands they are so tuneful and melodic...and actually they sound 'Japanese.' But I wouldn't expect anything less from their members, Junna on drums, sayaka and Sakura on guitars...and the incomparable Nagii, the singer.

@@isobar5857 nice

This is the reformed Hagane with Junna on Drums and Nagi is the vocalist. Sakura on guitar, and Sayaka on bass. Their new LP is fire. Junna, Sakura, and Sayaka have individual channels as well.
