Kanami....not just for her guitar skills ...but also for her composition is second to none..and just as a human being...she is a delightful lady and so adorable and a credit to Japan. Mincho Rules! 🤘🎸❤🎸🤘

Hal - Ca and Kanami are just phenomenal guitarists. My personal favourites. But every one mentioned and more show just how ahead Japan is with great female guitarists.

Kanami, because she is special and has ROCK in her veines... She does not shy away from any experiments, is mixing SO MUCH different genres in her songs, she is one of the best music composers on the world right now for me personally. As a guitarist she is very good, but some in the list are better. But as a person, composer and overall package Kanami is WAY AHEAD!

Great list. While my favourite is Kanami, all these ladies are superb guitarists!

So happy to see all my fellow Kanami fans here 🤘🔥🤘 Band-Maid is so unique and different, and she's probably the biggest reason why.

Kanami is certainly not the most skillful one here but as a composer she is the most creative and interesting to listen to. In terms of shredding and stage presense, Hal Ca is probably top for me.

Kanami Queen of rock n roll !!!! love you so much .

Kanamincho! The One and Only!

You have shown every subarashii ladies guitar slingers I know, I love and cherish every sing one, having said this, the one who introduced me to all of the ladies on your list and a few more is the incomparable Kanami Tono! Without Kanamincho I would still be wandering in the music desert 🏜️ I had been in until 2016 when finding the Oasis 🏝️ that is Band Maid, sugoi so much music coming from Japan 🗾, I'm happier now musically than ever before and I've been there since an iconic Ed Sullivan episode that brought rock music into main stream. Ganbatte kudisai and arigatou gozimasou Japan for making music subarashii again!

Kanami!!

I'm here for Kanami of band-maid. She's not only a guitarist but also a great songwriter. She's versatile!

Hazuki plays so effortless and looks so much cooler than anyone else.

Sakura Yoshida from Hagane is the new rising star an a indescribable talent who will be one of the best ever🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Yes, excellent 10 guitarists here. No doubt. By the way, I love TOMO-ZO from Gacharic Spin, too.🤘😊

You forget Sakura, of ''HAGANE".

Lovebites' Midori and Miyako - one of the greatest guitar duos of all time. They continue to improve each and every year and are now a level above almost everyone else.

Also Tomozo, yoshi, sakura, and many more great female guitarists in japan🤘🏻

Le chitarrista giapponesi sono tutte mostruose, impossibile per me stilare una classifica,sono troppo brave!Amo molto anche le chitarrista del gruppo Hagane:fantastiche!

I am fan of Lovebites but I won't be a fanboy. Really you chose top ten but one can add yet ten ladies. I like all of them. Stay safe. Stay Lovebites. 🐺🤘

There is never no love for Yoshi of Aldious. Yoshi is phenomenal.

Mitsuru ex-bridear guitarist is another one i enjoy listening to. Yugen Mononchrome album with Murata Tamu on drums rock.

In hard rock and metal, it would be my own list too. Now, I could make another list for the alt-rock/punk rock/blues-rock genres, with people like Moeka (Hitsujibungaku), Hisako (Pedro/Number Girl), Rei (guita Rei), Wata (Boris) ... Japan is so rich in talents!

I am happy you included Narumi--she is brilliant and gets far too little attention. Her solo work is worth checking out. Love all of these ladies, could not choose a better list!

Kanami is my guitar sensei.

Yuki is amazing Love the Steve Vai Cover She did with Lisa X

Bloody Midori and Miyako. Love these two Heavenly Goddesses of Metal. Always had a soft spot for Narumi too. 🐺

So much talent coming out of Japan!

I love Yuki's old school style

Tomo-Zo of Gacharic Spin is incredibly good and versatile being able to play heavy rock and funky... both Kanami and Miyako are incredible musicians who play piano like a pro and compose great songs... there are so many great musicians and metal bands in Japan right now it's a blessing 🙏👍 thanks for the video

I enjoy Yuki, Miyako, and Kanami's guitar playing. Kanami stands out the most for her playful spirit and creativity, blending seamlessly into the band's music and bringing joy to the music.

おや？これまでメイド服＝かわいいと思ってたけど、かなみちゃんが出てきた時なぜかカッコいい！とおもってしまった。

Midori and Miyako...Breathtaking!

Kanami Tono Is my favorite. But they're all incredible. Surprised no players from Bridear. Both awesome. Personal taste!😎🤘🤟✌️

I like M&M

Great list!

Excellent List. 🤘

Miyako, Saki, Hazuki, Lisa X

Great list

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

I won't celebrate anyone, all the girls are great guitarists🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

Favorit gua , saki 😍 tatapan mata nya itu nembus sampai ke hati 🤤

Hal-Ca for ferocious passion, Yuki for elegance and M&M for the ultimate dual attack :)

Your list is a good one and would have to agree. Hazuki is a killer guitar player. Some video with her playing with the band, she is shredding! The Revive with Saki shows that skill.

Love your vids but the great guitarist you did not mention is Rie suzaku!

Yes, Kanami really is the top of the stack here. A little surprised Ayumi from Bridear didn't get on the list, but I realize it was your Top Ten.

Your English is just fine. Toki for the win for me - she never fails to make me smile. Good list, this, glad to see Yuki in there too.

Everybody is perfect in their own style ♥️

Nice

Excelente e difícil lista porque ela muda constantemente. Também senti falta de Tomo-Zo, Yui (Cyntia e Telecide), Mitsuru, Matsuri, Sakura e Mayto. Muito bom, parabéns!

I like your approach as I‘m not a fan of ranking competition in music. I guess we can agree that all of this ten guitarists presented here are outstanding player and much is related to personal taste. If you’re a metalhead you might prefer e.g. Miyako or Saki, if your more on the progressive rock side you might rather go with e.g. Kanami. My favorite is Kanami, she sounds like no one else and her composition skills are a very unique plus. One of my favorites is missing here, it’s Tomo Zo from Gacharic Spin/Doll$Boxx. In my top five beside those would be Saki, Miyako and Yuki, I guess.

The best Japanese female guitarist is Wata from Boris. Foundation of the basics. 🌑

Tomoko from DollsBoxx deserves to be there.

I would suggest BabySaster

The girls are all fantastic unreal we don't have anything like that in the United States you should start a label made in Japan I got a lot of toys like that when I was a kid now they also made in China but yeah that'd be a good name for a group, made in Japan

素晴らしいギタリスト揃いだ。 このレベルになれば演奏テクニックは皆互角だ。 これならも頑張って下さい。

Well, now I've at least 2 more bands to find and hear!!

あのさー みんなうまいだけでなく可愛いんだよね。 奇跡だよ。

Lisa X is the Best.. I love her so much...🥰🥰🥰

all great, but Midori and Miyako together are great !

You need to update your list. You need to add Ayami and Moe from Bridear!

Yo voy elegir a dos guitarristas que no serán las mejores, pero están dentro de la mejor banda del momento en mi opinión! Nemophila de Mayu!

Yuki is the most beautiful 😊

TOP 10 is very difficult, my list is always have more than 10 guitarist... This list is great, but if but Tomo-zo and Misa (ex-Bridear) in the list, it look my TOP 10😀

Midori & Miyako from Lovebites 🐺🤘🏻 Even if they are all top notch!

My Midori and Miyako 😍🐺🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Yuki gets my vote.

Hazuki best

How come none of these lists ever mentions Yoshida Sakura?

Why you messin' around, inciting hunger and handing out crumbs? Why not show ALL the good ones and give each one PLENTY of time. I was in tears with this video, you think I'd turn away from 2 or 3 hours of this? 😃 🎵 🙏 🚀

Midori and Miyako...love them both equally🤘

I love watching Midori and Miyako. Beautiful Goddesses.

You could easily make the top 20 of it, you missed to many. Only as an example Misa and Mitsuru former Bridear or Yui former Cyntia.But there are so many more.

KANAMI......MYAKO

HOT JAPAN CHICS ON GUITAR

Yui of Cyntia

Wolfpack is here for Midori and Miyako! ( But I like everyone on your list! )

No mention of Miki Igarashi the godmother of Japanese female rock guitar, very strange

Japan has some of the best musicians! The talent is amazing coming out of that country. But, what the heck was he saying? I could barely understand him for most of the video! Why were the examples of them playing so short?

That's a very good list. A couple-three not included that happen to be right up at the top for me: Tomoko "Tomo-Zo" Midorikawa, probably more for her proggy excellence in Doll$Boxx than for Gacharic Spin; Mitsurun (ex-Bridear, currently Madamitakotyo no nai Sekai) for her innovative composition and phrasing and spotlessly clean execution, and Sakura Yoshida (Hagane) who has technical chops as good or better than anyone mentioned here...truly virtuosic.

These girls would shred ichika if they had quarter of practice time I spent. I’ve tried learning everything and still sound like iommi.

kanami and hal-ca.

Myiako, Saki, Midori, Yuki, Hazuki!! They are all guitars godesses!

Kanami's guitar phrase is unique and not similar to anyone else! Unfortunately, all other guitarists sound in the same way.

It's Miyako for me. She is the whole package but the entire list is great.

Kanami is a genius, plain and simple.

You Indonesian kba

🐺Midori💎Miyako🐺 ✨Haruka✨....Rie aka Suzaku🎸

Children of Bodom

Good list. My favourites would probably be Miyako, Midori, Yuki, Tomo-zo and Saki or Halca I guess. Honorable mention to Wata, whose guitar playing is very different and hard to compare to anyone on this list, really.

Kanami is the best

Blues guitarist Shoka Okubo and Fusion guitarist Rie a.k.a Suzaku and Chizuru Segawa are also great guitarists. In a few years,　I think "kinoko helmet" will be ranked.

MIDORI and MIYAKO, the Shredding Goddesses ! 🤘🐺🤘🎸🔥💚💚💚💙💙💙

Is there some law in Japan that, if you are a girl and want to play guitar, you must be gorgeous and wear beautiful, feminine clothing? Not really fishing for an answer, just saying. Okay, here's a serious question: do any of these beautiful women in Japanese metal/rock bands do drugs, whore around, or do any other kind of rock star shit? Obviously, this excludes Band-Maid as they are all angels (see the MV for "Sense").

HAL-CA, MIDORI AND MIYAKO MY FAVORITES

MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI, MIDORI and more MIDORIIIIII.....!!!!!!! by the way: someone knows how old are is Godess MIDORI? it´s a great mistery.

Hal-Ca is in another level.
