I love Japanese girl bands. Ever since back in 03 when I discovered Zone for the first time. And I know lots of others here love them too.
What I concider a girl band is pretty much any band with a strong female pressence in it. Not all members have to be female, it just has to sound like it could be
(not including male vocals that are as high as a female's ie. rin toshite shigure)
There seems to be threads for lots of individual bands already so I thought this thread would be pretty useless.
But I also thought that since the individual threads don't really get much posts and there are just so many bands out there that I don't want to make threads for, I could just make this thread. but I don't really know what others would feel about it.
So in the end I just made a thread test the waters. If it doesn't get much attention or people don't like it, it'll probably just die anyways. (like all my other threads >_>)
*end prologue*
Anyways,
One band that I just got into today was
Nakanomori Band.
I knew about this band for quite a while but for some reason never got into them. I just dled their new album,
"Do the Rock" and I really like it. It's very poppy but they also really know how to rock.
I have to say though, most of the members aren't really that cute >_> but Ayako Nakanomori is really hot! I also fell in love with her voice. She's not the best singer, but her voice is just perfect for the music and just has this power and feeling to it.
The album is up for torrent on jpopsuki if anyone's interested.
(I just noticed there was already a thread for them
)
Another band that I absolutely adore, but I don't see mentioned much is
Chatmonchy, I've liked pretty much everything they've released so far. Really cute stuff, but also pretty mellow.
I guess if there's any news that you'd like to share, or just anything about a particular girl band, you can post it here. Of course if the band has their own thread, you can just post it there.
