Both of them are outstanding musicians. Japanese female musicians are amazing.

早弾きなどのテクニックはmiyakoの方が上なんだと思うけど、kanamiの弾くフレーズは短いながらどれも心に刺さる。alone、DayDreaming…and more

Love Miyako's work...such a joy to watch.

For me Kanami all day and everyday

Two Music Monsters.

Miyako 😍🤘🐺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

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.😃

The world needs them both !

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.

A great example of how it's such a privilege to be living in this golden era of music.

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. 🤘🐺🤘

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.

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.

Awesome!! I love both of them!! Lovebites and Band Maid were the first Japanese bands i discovered, on the same day!! 🤘🙂🎸✨🎶

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.

MIYAKO is absolutely amazing

BandMaid - Best Hard Rock Band Lovebites - Best Power Metal Band

I think that it would be interesting to put them in a room together and see what they come up with.

Beautiful Miyako is insanely talented

Thank you so much for putting this together , these 2 ladies are my absolute favorite guitar players and seeing them side by side was such a treat.

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

Two supreme guitar masters!!!

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.

Impossible to compare them only for their playing. Both are extremely talented, both play piano and each one has their own stage presence.

Queste 2 chitarriste sono sensazionali,a dir poco,sia nella composizione dei brani che nell'esecuzione.Non ho altro da aggiungere...fantastiche!!!

I enjoy them both a lot, i would not even pretend to pick one over the other

Kanami just looked like she was always having fun and that to me is awesome!

Both of these women are wonderful. I would love to read an interview article someday.

Technically both are phenomenal , musically Kanami is out of this world , absolutely unmatched .

I always respect KANAMI SENSEI !!

Great job!!. And both impressive songwriters as long as musicians.

Two of my favorite guitarists and bands.

Kanami's guitar sound is very unique. Originality is important.

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!

Kanami Tono

Minchoooooooo

Tons of talent right there! 🐺🦊

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.

Choosing a “best” guitarist is subjective.

Great video! Thank you 🙏

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

They both share a quality of musical excellence, so there is no choosing between them, and they are both lovely, so there is no need to choose.

love them Both! Very hard to pick one.

Kanami is my favorite (I like Midori more than Miyako) but you cant go wrong with any of them . A collaboration with Kanami, Midori and Miyako 🤤

🔥KANAMIZILLA🔥

Miyako...Metal Goddess 🤘

No Midori 💚💚💚, no party! 😎🎸❤️‍🔥

対極にいる二人ですね。

Thank heaven I feel no need. I watch this with tears rolling out my eyes and hands 🙏

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.

Why does this always turn into a fan war of who is better? Can't we just agree that both are elite?

Miyako all the way!

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.

Miyako is a prodigy . Her understanding of music as a whole is beyond words.

If they are Queens, then *Midori* is like Wonder Woman who shredd on guitar🤘🏻

Miyako and Midori!! the dream duet, only challenged by Saky and Hazuki from Nemophila!

Bravissime entrambi

When it comes of idea and range I vote kanami ... But they are good guitarist

MIYAKO IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL

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!!!

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.

✌♥️🇬🇧

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. ☺️🤘🏻🤘🏻

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)

As individual, Miyako is better in technically. As a Band, Mincho as a Band-Maid member is invincible.

Considering Kanami's music composing ability I would consider Kanami one of the greatest female guitarists ever.

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.

Just imagine,, kanami & miyako playing together with baby metal 🤘🏻🔥😀

Miyako 😍😍😍😍

For me Miyako

There is only one genius😁

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....

Глупо сравнивать !

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".

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)

2:10 whats tittle song?

I like Miyako and Saki more

えっギターとピアノはセットなんですか

Kanami's super solo !!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d69oet1yu7mzj4E.html

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.

Hi u like midori of lovebites she is good also

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 ...

Midori!!!

Great clip but where's Midori......

Ice vs Fire.

Miyako is better at the guitar. However, Kanami's music sense is higher. Yuki from D-Drive is the best.

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?).

🤘🏽LOVEBITES RULES🤘🏽

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

Mi-Ya for the win ;)

I think Rie Suzaku is much better.

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 is more technical and more skilled than than kanami, but kanami is my crush so yeah hahahahahaa.

Miyako / midori gitaris terbaik yang pernah ada..🤘🐺🔥

For me Midori❤❤❤❤

miyako and midori of LOVEBITES are at the top of professional guitarists, and other guitarists are at the top of amateur guitarists.

Saki is the best female guitarist in Japan.
