5-string edition.This is a thread to discuss all-female Japanese bands that play their own instruments. That certainly includes Koiai, Band-Maid, Hanabie, Hagane, Lovebites, NEK!, East of Eden, Scandal, Bridear, and what is left of Nemophila.Individual female instrumentalists and singer-songwriters are also welcome.
As for the frequently asked questions:>why on /jp/?Because this thread is about Japanese popular culture. Also, the subject is not too far off from other 3D content on /jp/. A good number of artists discussed here are also former (or even current) idols, gravure models and voice actresses.>The band I like includes men. Are they allowed in this thread?Just post about the female members then.>Is this thread only about metal?No, go ahead and post about pop and jazz if you feel like it.
>>51176419Yoshie will have something to get angry about if the dude she knocked out turns out to be the litigious type.
>>51176323Yunika's other band KakuMero is auditioning for a guitarist and a vocalist. They already have a vocalist so I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe they just want two of them.
>Going to an Otoboke Beaver show expecting to see upskirt and pubes, but instead end up getting KTFO by the guitarist
>>51177016>Maybe they just want two of themThey could be planning something interesting with vocal harmonies and such.
>>51177723Yunika should just ask Mirei.
>>51177949Maybe she'll do it if Yunika changes her artist name to Chanyuni.
New Doll$Boxx just droppedhttps://youtu.be/ff6CaFZDEgI?is=FdhUa6V7lfq1Ob-0
It puzzles me that some bands link all their members on X (and vice versa) and some don't. For example, Band-Maid, Koiai, Hagane, Hanabie, Paleneo, and Nek! all link to their members accounts, but Lovebites, Zilqy, and Nemophila don't.
>>51178758>Lovebites, Zilqy, and Nemophila don'tSame goes fot STMLT. It might have something to do with who owns the accounts and band names.The X account of Girlfriend is, hilariously, still up. It mentions all four members, and the three of them with an account still follow it. Mirei still even has the band name in her handle.
>>51178069I'm disappoint.
>>51179238Living up to almost a decade of expectations must have been too tall an order.
>>51177483I'd bet Saki read about this and imagined doing the same to that LA upskirter with the pointiest guitar in her collection.
>>51179869LA upskirter O_-
>>51180181That's right. Some loser at a Nemophila shoe in LA tried to record upskirt fancams of Saki. She noticed and kicked the phone from his hands. The dude probably still jerks it while holding that same broken phone.
i liked ithttps://youtu.be/Rgcg8CNn-ho
Turns out STMLT actually has a handful of female fans!
>>51180933Good find Anon! Best new song in a while. I even hear some mild Kuroyume era VK influences in it.

>>51182577>PigeonsWay to kick Hanabie when they are down!Suzuka's oneesan Sakika posted a behind the scenes video of her latest MV:https://youtu.be/qlD0pBEii5A?is=1gnw6qIhtYFUt08LI'm sure the cameraman had a blast filming her climb up that car just past the 5 minute mark.
Meanwhile, at Summer Sonic Osaka
>>51184215Ah, photoshop... they were backing up Metalverse again so Mirei wasn't on stage with them...
>>51184362That's right. The next real Koiai concert will be in a week or two.Hanabie performed at the Tokyo edition today. Tomorrow we'll get Zilqy and Band-Maid. The Warning is there too, so they might perform Show Them together.(if things don't get cancelled because of heavy rains and flood that is)
Lost in thought
>>51180817There was another incident too where Mayu was groped by a fan too. Weird fanbase.
>>51179238Fuki doing all that Dogengers nonsense is one thing, but did she really have to drag the rest of Doll$boxx into it with her?
>>51185945The fanbase consists of mostly old starved geezers so not really strange when you think about it
>>51184429They did perform Show Them together.
>>51185961>putting a touhou metal frontwoman in charge of not pushing silly ideas on the bandWhat did they expect?
>>51186457>Ale's right butt cheek is c-c-c-caressing MISA's thigh.
>>51186457That must have been a total crowd pleaser!
Koiai and Zilqy
>>51186953I bet Misa had her way with Ale. With her futa girl cock.
>>51186306It's not the geezers Anon. They should be way past such things. I'd suspect the madonna whore complex ridden part of the Nemophila fanbase instead.
Hazuki and Yunika have gotten into the pleasant habit of taking sleeping creepshots of each other.
I love her
>>51188989Hanabie announced yet another anime tie-in. The discord troons must be overjoyed.
Band-Maid finally met Babymetal. BM x BM. Worlds are colliding. Collab when?
>>51189366They have all next year to do something together, assuming that Band-Maid isn't already fully booked with projects we just don't know anything about yet.
Nagi's training again (video, and a picture of her fridge):https://x.com/nagi_hagane/status/2088991629717962774
>>51189742Thank you Nagi for reminding us to not skip middle leg day!And that's a lot of cafe latte packs, looks like she drinks coffee like a Nordic.
Maintenance is over! Feel overstmltd yet?
>>51189366When Band-Maid needs to cash in before their hiatus starts. In other words: right fkn now!
guys i just found out in a youtube comment that Chika is sick? left? Hanabie?can someone give me a qrd?
>>51191556A couple of weeks ago, Hanabie announced that Chika is going on a temporary hiatus for health reasons.We don't know what is actually going on. Some fans say she is depressed or burnt out, others point out that she used an oxygen tank durig her last couple of gigs.Health is often used as a cover-up or excuse to be vague in bands' announcements, so your guess about what is really going on is as good as mine. Maybe Chika is just quitting.
>>51191594oh shit, maybe shes actually sick, drumming is hard on the bodyshe looked very happy in Hanabie and i feel all the girls get along pretty well, so i doubt that she got depressed or something i guess time will tell
Nek! did a two-band show with Bray Me, another girl band, though one I'd never heard of before.
These outfits are cool!
>>51191825so who is playing the drums on their live shows now? is it a man or a girl?
>>51191841It's a moid. Gaku Taura of Chrystal Lake to be precise. He supposedly discovered Hanabie when they were an obscure school band, and was instrumental in making them famous.
>>51192488thats kinda cool
Natsumi is adding new all-female Japanese band to her body count. She will perform with LustQueen as a support drummer. Fami of Lovebites is also joining in.
The new Caramel Candid EP is out. Give it a spin!
>>51193499Fami's worked with them before, just with different drum support.
>>51191820They make NEK! look like a bunch of kids.
>Fucked up my disc storage some months ago>Finally some time to get to rebuild collections and stuff>and upgrading some stuff to FLAC because of course>Lovebites time>every FLAC version of Glory, Glory to the World I can find is missing Winds of TransylvaniaWhat the fuck.
>>51195144because japs are autistic and there is literally 5 different version of that EP, you have to search for the limited edition try searching on soulseek
>>51195171Yeah I saw that.In the end I ended dling the compilation album which is like every song up to that point?
>Host takes fashion notes from Hettsu>Hettsu still refuses to show upBrutal!
>>51195630
Hazuki after another Mazari support. She has at least two more scheduled, one soon and one in October.
>>51195665Hettsu demonstrating how big Matsuri’s girl cock is.
>>51196009It must sting a bit for Mayu and Haraguchi that Hazuki is quitting Nemophila but not this!
>>51196091wait... i just googled and her and Tamu are leaving the band? its so over for Nemophila... i wonder whats going in behind the scenes, one member must be a real bitch.. i hope its not Mayuwhen Saki left i knew Nemophila will not survive for long
>>51196184They'll bring Ika in as a permanent member and Saki will fuck her with her futa cock.
>>51196223Meant to say Mayu but fuck it, Saki can join in too
Uyu wearing a headdress gifted to her by Hohomi of PaleNeØ. They had the same birthday.
>>51196184I don't know about Mayu being a bitch, but Hazuki and Tamu clearly lost faith in the musical direction she was taking them in.Nemophila will continue, but only Mayu's most hardcore fans will care.
>>51196072>Matsuri’s girl cock
20 years0 line-up changesIt is time for Scandal's 20 year anniversary live in Osaka-Jo Hall! Without a doubt, it will turn into a brawl between old and new fans, and the band will have to find a way to cater to both.I just hope they'll play this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odruDtgqWIc
>>51196641>turning her back on the audience with such a smug expressionLooks like Lisa X was not Hazuki's only pupil!
>>51198324Uyu's done quite well since leaving Hagane, what with Mana Diagram and the two Dizzys, and the odd guest spot. She can be smug.Speaking of Hagane, they're going to live-stream their 8/29 show on Nico, so if you can't get to the show you can still watch it.
>>51196641Hohomi can drum, apparently, though not well enough to sing and drum for PaleNeØ at the same time as she doesn't practice all day...https://x.com/hohomi_443/status/2089217020462350759
>>51190904More like STMLT is fkn over. Akira and Sakitee are out.
>>51198954Well, crap. I thought they finally had stabilized after all they went through before. Well, there's another drummer available for the vacant Nemophila gig (or Hanabie gig, if Chika goes there...)... though if Sakitee goes anywhere, I would hope it would be PaleNeØ, they've needed a permanent drummer since day 1. Akira's trickier... maybe she'll go full time into modeling.
>>51199169>Akira's trickier... Less tricky I would say. Little Lilith has a bass vacancy. She'd fit right in, and Yuki's fans will eat her up.
>>51198007Looks like they played it fifth out of 22 songs, including encores. I hope they all had fun, that's a big place they sold out.
>>51199538Ooh, you're right. Now all they'd need is another guitar - Mayto is working out really well, but she's probably too committed to Hizaki to have enough time.
>>51199755And not just any big place! Osaka-Jo hall is the top prize among venues to sell out for artist from Kansai, even more so than the Budokan.Scandal fans are worried though. The usually chatty Rina did not say a word and seemed out of it, and the band did not announce anything new at the show.
>>51198568Bridear has done a couple of live-stream concerts too this year on Twitcasting. I like it! Paying to watch them play is better than importing silly merch at least.
>>51200365Hopefully Rina was just not feeling well and was in show-must-go-on mode.
New Hagane video. Lots of flashing lights, in case that is bad for you...:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PqLeCVZ_t0
>>51201217>Lots of flashing lightsThey must have seen Rolling Quartz' Roll the Dice MV and thought 'if the Hanguks can do it, then so can we'.
It's Band-Maid's anniversary too, apparently they count from when Saiki joined the original four after the first two gigs. Thirteen years.
