I envy Japan for every one of these female guitarists 🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘: Miyako Watanabe + Midori Tatematsu (Lovebites) Saki + Hazuki (Nemophila) Kanami Tono (Band Maid) Yashiro (Mary's Blood) Narumi Suzuki (Destrose) Yoshi + Toki (Aldious) Illuminata + Ika (ArkRoyal) Sakura Yoshida + Mayto (Hagane) Mina Nakamura (Fate Gear) Tomo-zo (DOLL＄BOXX) Haruka Noma (Asterism) Li-sa-X (Li-sa-X BAND) The metal band Bridear even had 5 outstanding guitarists over the years: Mitsuru + Misa + Misaki + Ayumi + Moe. Also very admirable is Miku Kobato, Band Maid's rhythm guitarist. She couldn't play an instrument at first and learned to play the guitar at a decent level in just a few years. Only a few get it that way. Respect for Miku.😃
They're both great! But I value Kanami as songwriter more than the technical guitarist she is. She writes some amazing stuff. Miyako is something else, her musical abilities are amazing. Let us appreciate two totally different guitarist that they are and they're both incredible musicians!
These two are great guitarists as well as great composers. Many Japanese girls learn piano from young age and acquire musical background, and when they reach junior high school or high school, they start playing guitar in school club activities and make use of this in playing guitar.
Not sure anybody would argue that Japan have the best female musicians in the World when it comes to pop,rock, metal. I love Band Maid and so will always love Kanami. Such different styles of music within the band. I don't compare as there are simply so many great guitarists around.
Technically it's difficult to be better than Miyako, her solos and duets (Midori, another guitar monster) are top notch. Creatively it's Kanami the best rock writer I've listen in a long time, she can make a classic rock song or overload your senses with a wall of sounds and you'll be smiling all the time. Don't need any competition, both fit perfectly in their bands as the other members.
Possibly you don't know that Miyako is Lovebites' main song writer. I agree that Kanami writes very good rock songs but, for me, Miyako writes metal masterpieces.
The best Band-Maid songs were written by 50 plus year old males. Tōno is not even close to quality song writer guitarists such as Serina, Fern Planet / ex-Rick Rack. Hentai weeaboos have let stellar lolicon marketing by putting tiny East Asian females in sexualized maid costumes cloud their discernment as to what is good and what is not. Narumi (Lonesome Blue, ex-Destrose, ex-Disqualia) blows away Kanami in song writing from riffs to melodies. Please just stop it already with the infatuation with maid costumes. It is cringy.
@@johnp.johnson1541 Ignore this clown. He's a well known hater and liar. He lies about Band-Maid not writing their own music or playing their own instruments. Worse, he has followed them to forums like this for years to spew such lies (they release a new song, and there he is, spreading lies). If you don't like the music Mr. Johnson, change the channel like a normal human.
@@drogonr9318 OK Clown. Thanks for the advice. Ignore you. 1. Band-Maid's first written song was Alone. ALL songs before that were written by 50 something males, professionals. 2. After Alone, there was a mix of songs written by the band and written by pros. 3. Only the last few LPs have songs only written by the band and that shows as all of the songs sound alike and are of poor quality compared to the early years and the band's peak in 2019. 4. Band-Maid plays their own instruments. That has been clear from the start, except for Miku Kobato. Kobato fake played guitar. In the beginning she did not even appear on stage with one. These days, Kobato can barely play. Here is Li-Sa-X at 12. Already, she could play with skill that shows how mediocre Kanami Tōno is right now, over 30. th-cam.com/video/d8u9FpqY8UU/w-d-xo.html Band-Maid once were fun, that is, when they let pros write their music and when they stayed in their lanes. Band-Maid fans are horrible weeaboos, hentai, in truth, who are turned on by sexualized maid costumes rather than by quality music. Good luck!
This is an apples and oranges thing, as both guitarists are so talented, accomplished and special that they should just be rightfully celebrated. They generally play diff genres, and have diff styles and sounds, but neither are just shredders, and both have that rare genius needed to not just play but also create brilliant music. My personal fav is Kanami, as I just happen to enjoy rock more than metal. Something to note about Kanami is that she to my knowledge writes all of her band's music, and has done so for many years now (she does have an exceptional bassist she relies upon for the bass lines). She is not only rare in the brilliance of her songcraft, but unreal in how prolific her creativity churns out new music. Songwriting for Lovebites and other prominent Japanese bands appears to be a much more shared endeavor, as many of the songs are written and arranged by multiple members and even outside talent. Not so Band-Maid, as over the past 6-7 years the band has been blessed with a veritable rainfall of incredible music pouring out of the imagination of one Kanami Tono. Let's hope both of these amazing musicians (and bands) find a wider audience around the world.
so we should forget there 1st 3 albums then, since they wrote not a single note/lyric on any song, and what is kinda of funny, some of those are the biggest songs. so what was your point again.
This is a brilliant and well thought out take on Mincho. Your words crystalize how many of us Maidiacs feel about her bountiful talents. If I had to pick one member that is indispensable, it's Kanami !
Kanami is a genius first, a composer, song writer, amazing performer, and oh ya she can play a guitar however it needs to be played for the song. both are amazing, hard to compare because they are both arguably the best at what they do
Considering all aspects of their talents, I agree...these two are at the panicle of their respective J-Rock/Metal genres IMO. I gravitate more to metal, but love me some hard rock and BAND-MAID is #1 mainly in that class and KANAMI far and away is the benchmark artist. The Golden Touch is my jam though. 🤘🐺🤘
Hard rock is my home town, but I like a little metal if melodic and no harsh vocals. So natch Kanami is my favorite over everyone ( and I mean ever I'm 72 )- , but thanks to reactors steering us to LB I have come to really enjoy some of their songs and it is impossible to ignore how excellent and proficient the LoveBite musicianship is, even if the songs structure doesn't connect with me like say a Band Maid song would. Different strokes for different folks as we oldsters used to say, I just feel so fortunate for the internet and discovering these Japanese bands, having given up on new music and stuck playing shite I've heard for a million years. Rock on ladies rock on.
@@junkgroovejunk How about you people elaborate on that supposed "originality" for once then? Funny how all you seem to have going for you are the same lazy buzzwords. You people tell me what exactly is so unique about her playing.
I think it is just a "taste-thing"... Do you prefer metal, shredding, dual guitar solos that are AWESOME and creativity.... Midori is your pick If you prefer rock, more emotional solos that enhance an song and are "oldschool" and creative as well, so Kanami is your pick. I am more of an rockguy for sure, i barely listen too metal, even though Band-Maid has some heavy songs it is always "rock in heart"... Kanami is clearly my personal favorite! BUT i have to say i would love an coop between Lovebites and Band-Maid, i think they could do a really cool song together!
Ambas son muy buenas, prefiero a Miyako en base porque me gusta más la música de Lovebites que de Band maid. Aparte Miyako es inigualable, pero mis respetos a Kanami
Between these two, it's Miyako for me. For one she plays in the genre I pretty much only listen to, so despite talent I'm not nearly as much of a fan of Band-Maid as I am Lovebites. Actually Lovebites is my all time favorite band. Miyako is a prodigy to me. Not only is she an elite guitarist, but she's an elite piano/keyboard player and composer. She and Midori in my mind just may be the best guitar duo ever, and that includes measuring against bands like Judas Priest. Both of these ladies are absolutely incredible at what they do. You choose your favorite just like I do, mainly what music/genre they play.
@@yolandria You can have more than one prodigy level player in the world. Li-Sa X is phenominal and a prodigy too. Miyako simply plays the music I like to hear.
jonathan Parker: I agree with you , but what bugs me is the fact most of the BM fan boys statement is ,they can only shred that mean they listened to one song maybe not even to an entire song , I have listened toBM entire catalogs an own some of BM records and dvds ordered directly fromJapan. so i know who is my fav. player/s the M&M but I appreciate all of them.
@@powertothebauer296 I never thought about the perception of only shredding, and you are right about that. It really means they have not listened to their catalog.
@@mmcpa i think the average maid fan can't get the fact that it's not noodling/or mindless shredding, but it's all thought out and planed. every note has it's place, and it serves the song, they don't get that.
There are more similarities between them than differences. When you see them offstage they both look like they're already writing their next composition. They both studied piano from an early age so they both have some understanding of music theory. They both started playing guitar in their late teens. They mostly write their music on piano first. Kanami's writing style is centered around melody, and her solo's follow the same theme. Miyako's solo's also have a lot of melody. When you have a shredder guitarist as your guitar partner, you need something to make you sound different. It works well for their band. I'm impressed by both of them and refuse to chose one over the other. And yes, seeing them play together would be magical.
Range? Kanami is a fantastic guitarist but she is no where near the technical level of either Midori or Miyako. If you were intending to use another word other than range then I’ll chalk it up to a miscommunication. I am a guitarist and I have never seen kanami approach anywhere near the technical complexity that Midori and Miyako play during their two hour live shows.
@@christopherlidster3918 Miyako. It's about a guitarist or guitarists playing on the Miyako level (from this Japanese wave of all femal rock / metal bands).
@@musicaconqueror5477 There aren’t many right now playing at her range of abilities. This is basing of course on the fact that she so fluidly transitions through multiple styles of guitar play during any given song. She can go from a heart melting Gary Moore style solo to a Herman Li style speed shred. There aren’t very many guitarist that can do that.
I respect Kanami, but Miyako is closer to me because of her incredible playing technique and very strong internal energy. Miyako Watanabe is the best guitarist in Japan, in my opinion)
Love both. Kanamis build up and solo in Puzzle give me goosebumps. Her Blooming solos are incredible. Miyako and Midori are technical shredders. Miyako has more emotion in her solos. Saki, and Hazuki are right there with them. These guitarists for me, are all right there with my all time favorites: EVH, Petrucci, Rhoades, Cris Olivia, Paige, Takayoshi Ohmura, Mikio, Leda.
Miyako is a strong metal guitarist with her own flare, on the flip side of that kanami has a strong heavy rock influence who has a strong understanding of her abilities and don't forget kanami has also taught Miku how to play her guitar so it wasn't just a show piece while they preformed. Pretty sure if they had to they could swap groups and still preform to the level that is needed for each band.
The influences and styles are so different I like it. I started playing guitar in the EVH era and everyone played like EVH and that turned me off from guitar However, I do have some vinatge MIJ Fujigen I would love to give these girls (I dont play anymore)
Something they have in common, I understand they both impose on the Piano. Stopped "ranking" bands their members many years ago. Kanami and Miyako are both superb and who I would like to comment on them is my Guitar Hero, Jeff Beck!! I'm Old!!!
I'm SURE that this won't devolve into a slap fight simp war in the comments. I'm SURE of it. They're both exceptional musicians - much better than the simps going to war for them in the comments, by far - who have different influences and different approaches. So arguing who is "better" is pure ignorance. Which is why I am sure that the simp wars will go on - there's no shortage of ignorance in the simp ranks.
Two of the greats, for sure. There are a ton of Japanese ladies on the same level, like Saki, Hazuki, Midori, Narumi, Tomo-Zo, etc. They all make solid claims for the #2 spot. But Hal-Ca is #1. It's like she's from another universe. she puts a ton of emotion and natural technique into every note she plays. She's the pinch harmonics master. She is peerless in Japan with her whammy-bar technique and is almost as good as Steve Vai and Jeff Beck with it. She's soulful enough to colab with Bootsy Collins and also go to Texas and cover SRV, and she's shreddy enough to hold her own with Buckethead. She fronts a band with two other virtuosos, playing more technical progressive stuff than the other ladies. On top of all that, turns out she is a pretty good lead vocalist too, on songs like "Metal" and "Risky".
You can't compare the two. Both are really great guitar players. However, the technical stuff doesn't make any sense in the end. Sadly something has to be destroyed. You need the power to destroy the genre too. You will see the truth if you dare to destroy it.
Miyako has off the charts technical ability, she is Eddie Van Halen, piano player that picks up a guitar and just dominates it. She probably can't write awesome catchy hard rock songs like Kanami though (who can?).
Miyako is 10 times better you. see it comes down to taste, but it seems you have not listen much lovebites so you don't know what both ladies from lovebites can do. Kanami is a force. I like what she is putting to table. I don't know why she plays PRS absolute bad sounding Guitar what this video is proof about.And Miyakos musical Arrangements are Top notch, as her Guitar tone is unique , she even mods her Guitars and build a Guitar herself from Kit also modified. She knows exactly what she is doing to get her the tone she wants, and the 2 Ladys can play every style. So are Kanami , as I sad it comes down to taste .Oh btw I don't care who is better ,but I am sure I am piss off some folks with what I have written above .
Why do people say things like this. All the incredible riffs and transitions in lovebites songs? Miyako. Incredible bridges and solos? Miyako. Plays heart melting Melody’s that can make grown men cry? Miyako. I have listened to nearly ever Band maid song that they have produced. They are a part of my daily playlist, and I would never dream of disrespecting their members by implying their lacked the ability to write music. I would highly suggest actually listening to lovebites music not snips of it, branch out from the band maid bubble enjoy other music.
@@christopherlidster3918 True. Also there are tons of people that can write catchy rock songs. I don't see what's supposedly so unique about that. It's a songwriting basic.
For me ,frm the both of them-Kanami maybe is a metal queen. But Miyako. Miyako is something diferent, She is Something Which is not from this Planet. She is from other universe. She is Goddess
2 Japanise guitar queen .... I agree with this title. For me, however, this is an incomplete title. For me it should be: 2 Japanise guitar queen and Empress. Saki is definitely not inferior to KaMi technically and in terms of workshop. As a composer, it is enough to see who composed most of the well-known compositions by Mary's Blood. So why is Saki supposed to be the empress and not the third queen? Neither Myako nor Kanami, and I don't think anyone else has played such an important role in all of this All femal playing. I don't think anyone collaborated with as many artists as Saki. In addition, various music projects and promoting young talents (Li-sa-X, HAL-CA, Sakura). Incredibly modest, kind with great respect for other musicians. In Herman's Li show, spoke very warmly about Myako and Band-Maid. The guitarist who started this wave of All femall should also be mentioned here. Guitarist Captain Mina founded the first band Destroya in 2005. Concert like Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras. Like Di Meola, McLaughlin, de Lucía. Saki, Kanami, Miyako together on one stage, it would be beautiful ...
This was on a poster for an old movie called Shaft about a black private eye "Hotter than Bond, Cooler than Bullitt. So if Kanami is Bond. and Miyako is Bullitt, who is Shaft?. Why, Saki of course. ☺
Click Bait.........until either one plays slide guitar and a blues song.........I reserve judgement.......calling Eric Clapton.......Jeff Beck......Jimmy Page....Mick Taylor to the stage...........;-))

アコーステックギターについてはKanamiさんの方が上手かもしれない。
Both of them are outstanding musicians. Japanese female musicians are amazing.
For me Kanami all day and everyday
Love Miyako's work...such a joy to watch.

The metal band Bridear even had 5 outstanding guitarists over the years: Mitsuru + Misa + Misaki + Ayumi + Moe.
Also very admirable is Miku Kobato, Band Maid's rhythm guitarist. She couldn't play an instrument at first and learned to play the guitar at a decent level in just a few years.
Only a few get it that way. Respect for Miku.😃
I will add:
Marin Miyazawa - LoVendoЯ
Yui - Cyntia
Eri + Chiba - Mary's Blood
Yuki - D_Drive
Miki "Sun-go" Igarashi - Show-Ya
Kanako Nakayama - Princess Princess
Wata - Boris

I am a guitarist and I have never seen kanami approach anywhere near the technical complexity that Midori and Miyako play during their two hour live shows.
@@christopherlidster3918 What guitarist, what guitarists play at a comparable level?
@@musicaconqueror5477 comparable to who? Miyako and Midori? Or Kanami? I have no idea which guitarist you are referring to.
@@christopherlidster3918 Miyako. It's about a guitarist or guitarists playing on the Miyako level (from this Japanese wave of all femal rock / metal bands).
@@musicaconqueror5477 There aren’t many right now playing at her range of abilities. This is basing of course on the fact that she so fluidly transitions through multiple styles of guitar play during any given song. She can go from a heart melting Gary Moore style solo to a Herman Li style speed shred. There aren’t very many guitarist that can do that.
I respect Kanami, but Miyako is closer to me because of her incredible playing technique and very strong internal energy. Miyako Watanabe is the best guitarist in Japan, in my opinion)
Love both. Kanamis build up and solo in Puzzle give me goosebumps. Her Blooming solos are incredible. Miyako and Midori are technical shredders. Miyako has more emotion in her solos. Saki, and Hazuki are right there with them. These guitarists for me, are all right there with my all time favorites: EVH, Petrucci, Rhoades, Cris Olivia, Paige, Takayoshi Ohmura, Mikio, Leda.
Miyako is a strong metal guitarist with her own flare, on the flip side of that kanami has a strong heavy rock influence who has a strong understanding of her abilities and don't forget kanami has also taught Miku how to play her guitar so it wasn't just a show piece while they preformed. Pretty sure if they had to they could swap groups and still preform to the level that is needed for each band.
Глупо сравнивать !
The influences and styles are so different I like it. I started playing guitar in the EVH era and everyone played like EVH and that turned me off from guitar However, I do have some vinatge MIJ Fujigen I would love to give these girls (I dont play anymore)
Both are extremely talented and excellent guitar players.
But I gotta admit I’m partial to Kanami as I’m a big Band-Maid fan. ☺️🤘🏻🤘🏻
As individual, Miyako is better in technically.
As a Band, Mincho as a Band-Maid member is invincible.
There is only one genius😁
That is Kanamincho 😍😍
For me too...
Miyako? I agree.
@@cepho8349 Maybe🤭
I know two, that is four, but I do not exclude five, I don't know, it's hard to count.
A ki (lle) r a TakaSaki
Ka (nami) Mi (yako) Band
✌♥️🇬🇧
Bravissime entrambi
Something they have in common, I understand they both impose on the Piano. Stopped "ranking" bands their members many years ago. Kanami and Miyako are both superb and who I would like to comment on them is my Guitar Hero, Jeff Beck!! I'm Old!!!
Just imagine,, kanami & miyako playing together with baby metal 🤘🏻🔥😀
I was going to agree until the last three words.
I'm SURE that this won't devolve into a slap fight simp war in the comments. I'm SURE of it.
They're both exceptional musicians - much better than the simps going to war for them in the comments, by far - who have different influences and different approaches. So arguing who is "better" is pure ignorance. Which is why I am sure that the simp wars will go on - there's no shortage of ignorance in the simp ranks.
Midori!!!
Midori and Saki maybe? (Next)
@@JPROCKMETALWORLD Midori, Saki and HAL-CA maybe? Oh, and lets not forget Rie a.k.a. Suzaku….
Ahahaha...Japan has many great female guitarists...
@@JPROCKMETALWORLD No doubt about that, take a look at my playlist, maybe you will find some new bands (musicians).
Hazuki
Two of the greats, for sure. There are a ton of Japanese ladies on the same level, like Saki, Hazuki, Midori, Narumi, Tomo-Zo, etc. They all make solid claims for the #2 spot.
But Hal-Ca is #1. It's like she's from another universe. she puts a ton of emotion and natural technique into every note she plays. She's the pinch harmonics master. She is peerless in Japan with her whammy-bar technique and is almost as good as Steve Vai and Jeff Beck with it. She's soulful enough to colab with Bootsy Collins and also go to Texas and cover SRV, and she's shreddy enough to hold her own with Buckethead. She fronts a band with two other virtuosos, playing more technical progressive stuff than the other ladies. On top of all that, turns out she is a pretty good lead vocalist too, on songs like "Metal" and "Risky".
One is called princess
Kanami can turn your ears inside out ! most men would just walk away from a guitar in front of her so as to not be embarassed !
Kanami writes music, Miyako compose music....
You can't compare the two.
Both are really great guitar players.
However, the technical stuff doesn't make any sense in the end.
Sadly something has to be destroyed.
You need the power to destroy the genre too.
You will see the truth if you dare to destroy it.
Kanami's super solo !!!

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽
Mi-Ya for the win ;)
I like Miyako and Saki more
Miyako is better at the guitar. However, Kanami's music sense is higher.
Yuki from D-Drive is the best.
Hi u like midori of lovebites she is good also
Great clip but where's Midori......
えっギターとピアノはセットなんですか
Miyakoの代わりは居てもKanamiの代わりは居ない。つまりそういうことです。
Miyako issue 'replaceable'.....
Miyako has off the charts technical ability, she is Eddie Van Halen, piano player that picks up a guitar and just dominates it. She probably can't write awesome catchy hard rock songs like Kanami though (who can?).
Miyako is 10 times better you. see it comes down to taste, but it seems you have not listen much lovebites so you don't know what both ladies from lovebites can do. Kanami is a force. I like what she is putting to table. I don't know why she plays PRS absolute bad sounding Guitar what this video is proof about.And Miyakos musical Arrangements are Top notch, as her Guitar tone is unique , she even mods her Guitars and build a Guitar herself from Kit also modified. She knows exactly what she is doing to get her the tone she wants, and the 2 Ladys can play every style. So are Kanami , as I sad it comes down to taste .Oh btw I don't care who is better ,but I am sure I am piss off some folks with what I have written above .
Well, she can write great (and catchy) metal songs, so lol. She can probably write many styles of music, in fact.
Why do people say things like this. All the incredible riffs and transitions in lovebites songs? Miyako. Incredible bridges and solos? Miyako. Plays heart melting Melody’s that can make grown men cry? Miyako. I have listened to nearly ever Band maid song that they have produced. They are a part of my daily playlist, and I would never dream of disrespecting their members by implying their lacked the ability to write music. I would highly suggest actually listening to lovebites music not snips of it, branch out from the band maid bubble enjoy other music.
@@christopherlidster3918 True. Also there are tons of people that can write catchy rock songs. I don't see what's supposedly so unique about that. It's a songwriting basic.
For me ,frm the both of them-Kanami maybe is a metal queen.
But Miyako.
Miyako is something diferent,
She is Something Which is not from this Planet.
She is from other universe.
She is Goddess
miyako and midori of LOVEBITES are at the top of professional guitarists, and other guitarists are at the top of amateur guitarists.
2 Japanise guitar queen .... I agree with this title. For me, however, this is an incomplete title. For me it should be: 2 Japanise guitar queen and Empress. Saki is definitely not inferior to KaMi technically and in terms of workshop. As a composer, it is enough to see who composed most of the well-known compositions by Mary's Blood. So why is Saki supposed to be the empress and not the third queen? Neither Myako nor Kanami, and I don't think anyone else has played such an important role in all of this All femal playing. I don't think anyone collaborated with as many artists as Saki. In addition, various music projects and promoting young talents (Li-sa-X, HAL-CA, Sakura). Incredibly modest, kind with great respect for other musicians. In Herman's Li show, spoke very warmly about Myako and Band-Maid.
The guitarist who started this wave of All femall should also be mentioned here. Guitarist Captain Mina founded the first band Destroya in 2005.
Concert like Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras. Like Di Meola, McLaughlin, de Lucía. Saki, Kanami, Miyako together on one stage, it would be beautiful ...
Ice vs Fire.
This was on a poster for an old movie called Shaft about a black private eye "Hotter than Bond, Cooler than Bullitt. So if Kanami is Bond. and Miyako is Bullitt, who is Shaft?. Why, Saki of course. ☺
2:10 whats tittle song?
Liberal... I guess..
Miyako / midori gitaris terbaik yang pernah ada..🤘🐺🔥
Miyako is more technical and more skilled than than kanami, but kanami is my crush so yeah hahahahahaa.
For me Midori❤❤❤❤
I think Rie Suzaku is much better.
Saki is the best female guitarist in Japan.
Click Bait.........until either one plays slide guitar and a blues song.........I reserve judgement.......calling Eric Clapton.......Jeff Beck......Jimmy Page....Mick Taylor to the stage...........;-))
