Sisterhood EditionThis is a thread to discuss all-female Japanese bands that play their own instruments. Individual female instrumentalists and singer-songwriters are also welcome.

>>51092061Could have sworn I attached that...
>>51092063What is that bridge on that Les Paul?
>>51092063The infamous hoverhand..
>>51092083Speaking of which... Hagane with Testament.
>>51091825Sisterhood indeed... both Bridear and Little Lilith, and Mayto and Hina, had a lot of fun together on this little tour, from what their various twitter posts say.
A new all-female Japanese band has been planted to the industry. They are called The Last Diamond, and their lead singer is the voice actress and idol Anna Suzuki.We'll hear more from them by the end of this month. Let's see if this goes better than Zilchy.https://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/163172/2
>>51092227Well... if Rie Tanaka can front a metal band, I suppose this can work too... it all depends on the material.
Koiai released a new MV. The location looks familiar:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53V_jkhjQa4I must say Little Sister Long Legs is probably the prettiest girl on the scene right now. Only Sakika of Cox2 can compete.
>>51093577I had no idea the singer of Uz:ME is a famous voice actress! I thought Patrik just convinced some cool visual kei auntie to join his band.
The artist formerly known as NATSUMI has changed her stage name to NATSUMi. Fans might need some time to get used to this.
Junna all dolled up. Hard to believe this cute girl is a grinning, laughing maniac behind a drum kit.
New Hanabie just droppedhttps://youtu.be/cj_YLPTQhoU?is=juXwOFMlgzsKIuAcHow long would you last in the ring with them?
>>51097498Hmm... they may not be Midori or Nagi, but I still don't fancy my chances. Being a musician is hard work, they're usually tougher than you think...
>>51099014And besides, Hettsu must be a skilled drunken boxer!
>>51092147thighs...
You could make a great all-female Japanese band of metal musicians who would rather play something lighter.Chika of Hanabie never cared for metal and only joined the band to get a chance to tour abroad.Nagi auditioned for Hagane in a last-ditch attempt to become a pro singer, she had no experience with the genre.Mina just missed being in a band, and East of Eden happened to have a vacancy for the bass.Who would be the guitarist?
Jyuri is live with Nihonbashi Street Live:https://www.youtube.com/live/pHnyMueHA-A?is=Is5NJLWhgaLfWfE8I missed Kosugi Yun's set, but it was probably the same old Folklore Project.
I know they aren't a girl band obviously, but since I'm not sure where else to ask since people here seem knowledgeable about bands: is Burnout Syndromes a big deal?
>>51103336I had to look those dudes up, but they seem like somewhat of a big deal with a lot of overseas shows and media tie-ins. Also performed at the same festival as Hamabie in Brazil.
We have some transfer news Anon!Nohana of Stereopony and Draft King has joined Lumrise.This also means it's safe to say the Steropony reunion went nowhere.
>>51099014Speaking of Nagi...https://x.com/nagi_hagane/status/2075908564749873159
>>51104305B-but /fit/ told me women can't do this!
>>51092147I’ve been wondering for a few days if it’s possible for Nagi to strangle me with her thighs while Sakura spits in my mouth at the same time
>>51105186Hagane should introduce this as a reward for their fan club members!
Jyuri is an interesting case among up-and-coming female singer-songwriters. On the one hand, she seems quite skilled at getting exposure through old media like TV and radio, especially in her own city of Hiroshima. On the other hand, she is completely clueless about social media promotion. She even asked her twitter followers how to go viral, as if she is at least twice her age.And then there was this time she told a fan who wanted to encourage her and cheer her up to fuck off with his toxic positivity. Total Stacy move to be honest, but it won't grow your fan base.
Why is Kirara posing on her bed and staring at you full of expectation? Because she is starting a fan subscription service! It's on fkn instagram. She'll probably move it somewhere else in a couple of months.
>>51106323she sounds retarded
Speaking of 'tarded, the current North American tour appears to have been a rough one for Haraguchi.
>>51108005Nemophila except each of them are futas with cocks and balls
>>51108250I suspect Tamu might like Cock and Ball Torture.
>>51108328Is she inflicting Cock and Ball Torture on her bandmates?
>>51110376No, just on touchy fans. Someone needs to abuse them now that Saki and her boots are gone from the band.And who knows, she might put some CBT record on in the tour bus.
We may never know what happened to Hades, but Sala seems to be enjoying her life as a cool biker.
Li-sa-X at a Koiai display at Tower Shibuya. The bottom row has Trident, Band-Maid, and Nemophila discs.
>>51110796Mirei's past as an idol should help out a lot here! Some fan will buy boxes full of CD'S.
I found this band called Hakumay and thought they were new. Apparently, it's a rebranding of Emanon.https://youtu.be/aakEWGktZ9Q?si=CZlYS4X1xb8tYzk_Their singer Erisa Gunji is a former idol. But I find the cute boyish bassist Boochan more eye-catching.
https://youtu.be/ntyQ46EWFo8
>>51112286A nice and chill song. Nothing wrong with this!
Nemophila's US tour is over, looks like they had a great time.
Since today seems to be link dump day, I might as well post the new Koiai MVhttps://youtu.be/jzFG-ukWuPQ?is=wTPM87EP5xYQTd59Nemophila can kiss Hazuki's glasses goodbye if Koiai keeps building up momentum.>>51112553Unless she keeps enjoying the overseas tours this much..She'll be back on stage with Koiai before her jet lag is over anyhow.
>>51112904I was just going to post that link...>Nemophila can kiss Hazuki's glasses goodbye if Koiai keeps building up momentumMaybe the new girl will be a replacement for Hazuki instead of Saki - no, don't say such things!
>>51112935Too late Anon! You said it and probably hit the nail on the head.
>>51113619Fortunately, what I predict never happens. Well, I did expect Band-Maid to go through some sort of internal re-evaluation one day, but I was thinking when Akane turned 40, not next year already...
I love this picture of Chika. So intense.
I just found out about this band called E'sekai, and I think they have the potential to be huge.https://youtu.be/hhHqUFFOcwY?si=Ui2Y0aDKZUAeYlFPThey are apparently trained by Okinawa Actors School, which produced a couple of J-pop hotshots. The name E'sekai will appeal to weeaboos worldwide. They have the cool girl aesthetics and dance skills to build a female fan base across Asia.I am sure the industry will find some way to this band up, but if they play their cards right, they could be top dogs in a couple of years.
Hagane's going back to Denmark! They'll be the opening act on the main stage at Epic Fest 2027.
>>51114660Good! They deserve that main stage spot, even if they're only the openers. Now hurry up and announce club tour! Use the sponsor money to book a comptetent tourint agent.
Is this thread only for shitty metal?
>>51100072What about that old dudes calfs tho
And those feet lmao does bilbo baggins have black toenail polish on?This thread is stupid you guys are stoopid.Metal is stoopid.Junna is cool
>>51115199No Anon, go ahead and post about softer and poppier acts, they are more than welcome as long as they're women.Posts about metal tend to be the ones that get replies, but that can change.
Nek! in action
Zilqy somehow managed to secure a slot at Summer Sonic. They will perform on the same day and stage as Band-Maid.
>>51112553Back home, and straight to work getting ready for this weekend's festival gig. iKA's back!
>>51118060Ika must have had such a blast making fun of her jet lagged and hungover bandmates. Hazuki looks like she can barely stand!
>>51119098Hanabie will open for Electric Callboy in Tokyo. Osaka gets fkn Babybeard instead.
How long are Bridear's legal issues with those filthy label groomers going to last? They lost Natsumi aneld haven't been able to release any new music because of this shit.
>>51120320What's that about?
>>51120478>What's that about?Some dude working for Bridear's label got outed for being an abusive prick. This man was extremely ill-tempered and allegedly made female artists sleep in the same hotel room as him. He was also organizing the European leg of Bridear's world tour.Around the time this news got out, Bridear cancelled the tour citing health reasons. The label then fired back by pulling a lot of Bridear's albums and music video's from streaming platforms. The Still Burning MV is unavailable for example.There's clearly some kind of ongoing battle between them, and Bridear launched a paid Bstage page to raise money to cover the costs.These are all allegations and fan interpretations. We probably won't know what really happened until they reach some kind of settlement.
Mommy and the kids.This is a nice recent interview with them by the way. Someone apparently asked Nagi if Sayaka was old enough to buy alcohol:https://barks.jp/news/1078483/
On Monday Hagane and Koiai are both performing in Osaka at almost the same time. I suppose overlapping schedules for different bands must occur sometimes.>>51121836From what I can gather Sayaka was nearly carded in a Danish supermarket for buying sake, and Nagi noticed the clerk's indecision. I'm not sure how old Sayaka is, but I would say mid-20s at the very least.
Hazuki performed with her back to the audience. Shes is fading away..>>51123618>I suppose overlapping schedules for different bands must occur sometimes.This must be something the tour planners try to avoid if possible. Choosing between Hagane and Koiai won't be easy.
>>51124529Looks like both bands had full houses. At least they're happy.
Hina had a busy weekend, supporting Paradoxx on Saturday (Shono is still recovering from knee surgery)...
...and supporting Bridear on Sunday.
>>51125328That's a big duck face! Almost a goose face! But Hina is a total boss for helping everyone out.>>51125330And Moe has been looking great lately! She should make those guitar videos with Ayumi again (and find a better name than sukiyaki sisters).
I was just thinking about how Koiai's ascension comes with its own risks for the future of the band and her role as a guitar diva. Is Li-sa X going to accept that most fans at their shows will be idol types showing up for Mirei?
This thread needs more Otoboke Beaver
>>51127034Then it's time to beaverpost more Anon!
Trident with Suu and Ainyan of Silent Siren.
>>51127415Nagisa looks like she got roughed up!
She fkn wasp
Lovebites is in Europe on tour. Haruna posted a nice montage of their first day in Vienna.
New LUMiRiSE just droppedhttps://youtu.be/RkIokJ0Pfl4?is=56zHtg5RpQAsfpTGSounds like Trident with less distortion.
Really sad news about Kirara's brother.
>>51129660According to some longtime fans, the whole reason she went to Keio U. was to study her brother's illness and what can be done about it. This is tragic, especially as there is a hint of malpractice involved.
Lonesome Blue is ready for this weekend's live debut of the new lineup with Sally.
>>51129660That's horrible! The STMLT management should give ger as long as she needs to grief and spend time with her family.
>>51130396Do you think Sally will manage to make Lonesome Blue sound less unhinged?
>>51131385To go nuts, or not to go nuts, that is the question.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vgM8Riz6e0
>>51131678The question is who came up with those amazing outfits!Oh, they're nice enough to just tell us:>Styling:>Masahiro Yamada(PLAN)>Sachi Taihaku
We are autosaging and on page 9. Now is the time to cook up a new edition and plug whoever you like.
>>51129195Good for them that they have the chance to explore Vienna. It must be frustrating for artists sometimes to travel to so many places, but to see so little of them.
Sakura goes record shopping at Diskunion:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw-IIl1G2Qs
>>51134024Nice one Mayu, maybe the gamers will help Nemophila from getting overshadowed by Koiai.
Kirara (not the one from STMLT) made a video about driving her backup boys to a live gig in Osakahttps://youtu.be/aHiAN_7PMr4?is=RL0Qc0G8EAp5LEXRShe seems to be admiring the tits of Chisetsunagara's Mayu around 13:48. Straightest woman on the scene right here.
Band-Maid was doing radio promotions again, and the picture from the station showed the Energetic single case open, and I noticed I'd never seen the back art. So I did a quick search...
>>51137313Looks like a mixture of healing literature illustrations and something out of a dreamy old children's book.
>>51092227Their guitarist Nekozuki Mei has passed away suddenly, RIP. It has been a grim week.
