As a result of the Girl Metal Band Boom in 2008, Japanese Metal has propelled all-female metal groups to the forefront of the country's rock scene.

One of the inaugural faces of Japan's Girl Metal Band Boom, power metal quintet Aldious has been chugging along as the colorful face of Japanese Metal since 2008. After founding their own label Bright Star Records, the group cycled through a few lineup changes as their popularity grew, even alternating lead singers over the years until R!N's official confirmation in 2019.

Best known for their glamorous outfits and tough metal riffs, Aldious's onstage chemistry and splashings of punk-pop and '80s metal have kept their records fresh and unpredictable, and their loyal fan base has been unwavering even through drastic lineup changes.

Full of grandiose guitar solos and uplifting power chords, Tokyo's Band-Maid pummels listeners with hardcore music that starkly contrasts with their docile maid outfits. But defying expectations is a core belief for the group, their music often centered around defying expectations and breaking free from what's expected.

It's a sentiment that makes their live shows colorful and kick-ass, as they constantly challenge their listeners to grow and think outside the box.

Another group to emerge from Destrose's demise, Lovebites was made by former Destrose bassist Miho and drummer Haruna, later adding on vocalist and lead guitarist Midori. Relying more on masterful guitar solos and relentless pacing, the group uses the band as a means to communicate empowering messages about realizing your destiny and achieving your goals.
