Thanks for the list REZA. I think you`ve included many of the best female japanese guitarists in it. The only ones I missed, was NARUMI (ex. Destrose, Disqualia, RAMI band, guest in Fate Gear, maternity replacement in Aldious for TOKI and solo albums). She is an extraordinary good guitarist and very adjustable, but haven`t had any longtime engagements recently in any of the more well known bands, where she`s only made guest appearences. That`s probably why people tend to forget and underrate her. Another one is Captain MINA from Fate Gear (ex. Destrose), she also belongs on this list. She is an icon of japanese female heavy metal, and has been around since the early start with Destrose. The last one is the up and coming SAKURA from Hagane. She is still young (though not as young as LISA-X), but she is so good and has gotten better every time I listen to Hagane or her guest appearences and guitar covers. One good example is the naonのyaon 2019 festival shredd battle at the end, where she held her own shredding it with 4 other guitarist from your list (SAKI, YASHIRO, MIYASZAWA and AYUMI). This is of course all a matter of opinion and taste, but I share your taste in the ones you`ve listed just with these 3 added😃 All in all I think we should be very grateful for all those fantastic japanese women, who singledhandedly keeps heavy rock, metal and punk alive with their fantastic musical abilities. The japanese female scene is really the best in the world (in my humble opinion)💕, and there is nothing even close to this on any of the very boring western scenes right now.

Miyako is my guitar goddess, but all round #1 is Mincho for me. Of course, all female guitarists you picked in this video are awesome!!!

MIYAKOは全て美しい。TOMO-ZOのソロは涙が出てくる。みんちょは存在がRock🤘天才！！

K A N A M I

MIDORI and MIYAKO ! 🤘🤘

Kanami's guitar melodies are unique! No one can imitate! she is a genius!

Midori is my favorite guitar player at the moment. While so many guitarists are still held back by speed and technique, Midori turns note selection into an art form. Every solo an adventure... throw in some serious rhythm picking and you have the blueprint for metal guitar.

MIDORI from Lovebites is the one for me. She's my guitar godess. Also good video, thanks.

My goodness the talent in Japan is amazing!!! Japan is a leader in so many things and when they learn something they absolutely conquer it. These are some baaaaad women killing those guitars!! I love it!!

Kanami Tõno is the one above all for me. Then Saki then Matsuri then Miyako and Midori etc

Mincho 💕💕

Miyako！！！

🔥💚🌏🔥 🔥💚🌎🔥 🔥💚🌍🔥 Midori Tatematsu ! worldwide ! Transcendent 🔥💚🌏🔥 ! (though all are wonder-FULL!)

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

こうして見ると日本の女性メタル系ギタリストの層の厚さよ。 ここまで来ると後は好みの差だけですね。 全員が最高。

This is a great list. Thanks so much for sharing. My favorite guitarists are Midori and Miyako.

Sakura Yoshida is my favourite. I'm no musician so I can't judge her skill, but I grew up with bands like Helloween, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius and Hammerfall. Her music reminds me a lot of them and that's why I love her work.Edit: it's a shame this list doesn't even mention her. She has a guitar model named after her, for crying out loud! (The VYSK)

Your list is much like my list would be, with Kanami, Miyako, Hazuki and Saki at the top. They all shred!!

Kanami is my favorite, she shows you don't always just have to play fast, but instead creates solos and such that enhances the song. I respect the skills of the others as well.

RAW Talent: 1 - Hal-Ca 2 - Miyako 3 - Lisa X But I love 'em all especially Kanami, Miyako, Saki and Misa (Bridear). But you forgot one talented and beautiful guitarist on the list: Yui from TELECiDE! She's also very good!

I was getting worried at first. up an till the final two I was thinking where are Myiako and Kanami. Great respect for have both of those ladies your top two.

みんちょの紡ぎ出すリフとメロディの美しさ。テクニックだけじゃなく作曲センスまで含めると、納得の1位だと思います☺️

Sakura and Mato from Hagane. Sakura is an absolute monster on guitar. I don't think there's anything she can't play.

Kanami band maid

Great list man. There's a lot great female guitarists in Japan who are skillfully and talented. And my favorite from all of them is Kanami. Maybe she's not one of the fastest and most technical guitarists, but definitely she's one of the best guitarists with feeling and soul in their playing. She also good for playing piano, songwriting, composing and a good guitar teacher for other BAND-MAID guitarist, Kobato Miku.

I LOVE this list . They’re are all so deserving. My fav is MINCHO!! All the way ! 🤗

Hal Ca is so fast the camera doesn't keep up, made me lough so loud I had to rewind to listen. Don't have a favorite one, just a favorite duo: Midori-Miyako.

Kanami is by far my favorite of those 21. I see that you switched it to females only. Okay, in that case, I shall edit my comment accordingly. I also like: Serina - Rick Rack/Fern Planet

Great list, I love the double M Miyako & Midori, they have track record played hardcore/metalcore and rock before joining Lovebites. Not only power metal & Thrash metal, The fact that they can compose hardrock, groovy songs and some ballad.. you can find it in the Lovebites albums. Maybe interesting to see another guitarist on the list to compose or write power metal and thrash metal.

Kanami Tono, Kanamincho, Mincho of Band-Maid is my favorite. Her feel is amazing, not the fastest shredder but her solos are very melodic and fits their songs perfectly. Kanami is also a master composer for Band-Maid. BTW all girls in this video are amazing players.

kanami, midori, miyako ofcourse . but, please dont forget tomo-zo in a different way.

Good list! Lisa X is by far the most technically perfect!

I agree that they are your favorites, but I wished you had mentioned also Narumi, Sakura Yoshida and Mina.

Miyako dan Midori from group lovebites. My favorite Japanese female guitarists

Hazuki, Saki and Miyako are my faves. Misa’s former shred mate on Bridear, Mitsuru, is good, too. All in all solid list!

I literally smiled and said "YAY!!!" when you announced #1 My fav too :)

Wow!!!! Your top 3 are the same as mine. To me Miyako and Kanami are both #1! I knew they would be in the list but I kept saying to myself, where is Yuki and there she was. There are some I have not heard of, I will be checking them out today. Thank you.

Amazing list. Imagine 21. I could probably come up with a few more less well known who have my respect and admiration. Thanks.

I really like your list. I am more happy with the names vs the order.

Awesome list! Thank you 🙏

Kanami is great because she plays from her soul! It’s her interpretation and ability to know when NOT to shred that puts her at the top! And, obviously her song writing ability as well…

Yashiro doesnt get a lot of mention but she is quite talented. Really Great too see all these Fantastic Japanese Women Playing World Class Rock/Metal. Incredible musicianship each and every Lady in this Top 21. Honestly one could easily do a Top 50 there are so many qualified Female Guitarists with their ranks ever growing.

Excellent list. All of these are awesome.

I am missing Sakura Yoshiba from Hagane

Where is Sakura Yoshida ？

Kanami is only one. Her sound is different from others. It's smooth, colourful and smart.

Good job i agree with you 100%

In order to avoid conflicts in the comment section, the title should change to my favourite top 21 japanese female guitarists. With that being said, Band Maid is also my favourite, Hanabie and Nemophila next.

Of all the above, HAL-CA is an absolute guitar monster, in fact, the most powerful guitarist in the world, striking with her virtuoso and emotional playing. Gifted from above.

MIDORI and Li-sa X is another level.

Kanami is easily my favorite. The others are great players, but to me, extremely technical isn't always the way to go. I need to see Band-Maid when they come to the states again!

You are right, they are all special in their own way 👍🙏

Mantap mas bro. Lanjut lah. 😊👍🏼

kanami the tsunami.

So many great guitarists here. My list would be something like: Midori, Miyako, Saki, Yuki from D-Drive, Hal-Ca, Li-Sa-X. ( But I like a lot of other players too! )

you are right, my 3 favorites are the same of you in the same order....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎💖

I was waiting for Kanami, I thought there is another list of guitarists you made but ofc she is number 1. 🥰Minchosan

❤❤❤❤❤Kanamincho -😮an is my fave love her soul reminds me of the mighty Carlos Santana plays with her heart and soul just like her idol Carlos Santana😊

Should have gone with Matsuri's solo in Envy. She's usually chugging away and her tone during those songs is outstanding but she does have the regular lead skills like all the other guitarists so showing those off would have been nice.

Great list, my fav are Midori and Miyako

Another fantastic player no one's mentioned is EITA (original Gacharic Spin guitarist) She's still making music to this day as an independent solo artist composing all her own music. Seriously, the most underrated of all these ladies.

My personnal ranking: 1 / Hal-Ca, simply impressive, as guitarist and composer. 2 / Saki, a beautiful woman, talented and experienced as guitarist. 3 / Guita Rei, she can play acoustic, electric guitar, country as rock. So much talented. 4 / Miyako, piano or guitar, she blows me. 5 / Tabuchi Hisako (Number girl, Pedro). A+

M&M @ no 1 .. perfect together

Aksen indonesia nya melekat banget😅 Tapi keren mas saya apresiasi usaha mu, semoga chanel ini makin berkembang, semangat mas🔥

LOL well i am not surprised i know or own albums from almost every group/artist on that list. As a long time metal head SHOW-YA will always rank highest on my list, pure legends. I'm also a huge fan of bridear, nobody in GALMET made that list, but then they have not been active for some time.,

Nice list but would change #1 and #2

Mantap, bro! I agree with your top 3 but my favourite is Yuki (D_Drive) followed by Miyako then Kanami. Yang di lupa, those you missed out are Mitsuru (ex Bridear), Narumi Suzuki (ex Disqualia), Sakura Yoshida (Hagane) and Asaka (TRiDENT).

🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Such a fantastic list!!! My favorite is Kanami from band maid!!! Her writing style as played just speaks to me!!! Greatly enjoyed!!! Stay safe!! Hello from Northern California!!!!! 😁❤✌🏼

Hanabie is pronounced (hanabi-eh), Rie (ri-eh). Saki is Nemophila's guitarist as the same in Marry's Blood now and still in both bands :)

The one who produces the sound I like the best is Saki, followed by Miyako, and Kanami.

Midori and miyago guitaris from Lovebirds Band

I would order them like this: 1-Midori (LB) 2-Miyako (LB) 3-Saki (Nph) 4-Kanami (B-M)

Tomo zo gitaris favorit saya,karena dia menguasai berbagai tehnik gitar dari berbagai genre musik seperti funk,rock,metal,jazz,prog, blues,dan mungkin masih banyak lagi

I recognize MAB licks from speed kills on number 11 I'm going to have to select number 7 for the win. Lisa X showed strong technique. I didn't recognize it as scarified. 9 - With blue guitar has on very sexy clothing, The 70s vibe of the room they're in is only shattered by the peg board to the left behind the sofa.

I've been following Li-Sa-X since she was little tiny thing playing a guitar as big as she was. She's a great player now and it's been fun to watch her grow up.

MIYAKO is my favorite genious.I also love Midori 💪, Saki and Kaname.🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🎸🎸🎸🎸.They are very good.

I'd put Miyako against anyone. She makes it look effortless every time. As a package, the 3 Ms (Miyako, Midori & Miho) are as good as it gets since Smith, Murray & Harris (Maiden). Back in the day, Maiden / Helloween did their thing (power metal) and the big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax) did thrash. LB can do both which I have never seen before and throw in a touch of dragonforce while you're at it; and it's due to their guitar talent and Haruna of course. Going from Swan Song w/Chopin intro to Break The Wall...c'mon, who can pull that off? I know this was an individual ranking...Miyako all the way, and I look at the bigger picture...what the band can do as a whole. My two cents.

Yuki, Kanami, Miyako, Midori, Saki, Lisa X, Hazuki.

みんな上手いけど、奏でるフレーズのセンスの高さはみんちょが断トツ👍

Kanami is of course a given for the top three, but I really think HAL-CA should be up there as well. If you combine not only technical skill, but songwriting and showmanship as well, I can't see how anyone can beat HAL-CA. You really didn't pick a very flattering clip of her for this video. If anyone is curious, this is her on stage (with a song she wrote at age 15): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNuBg9l6s7DHcWQ.html

1 Miyako/Midori 2 Hal-ca 3 Saki

Whatever the hell is going on in Japan, we need that world wide. It isn't fair, that many amazingly skilled smoking hot guitarists all in Japan.

3:40. 3:50. Misaki, Ayumi would do for me.

I agree with all of your selections...but, no love for Mamitasu of SCANDAL?

Yuki Uozomi 2:01 married and had child 2018. She has been out of the business since then.

Huh. You left out Sakura Yoshida from Hagane and Hanako from Octaviagrace?

Where is Sakura Yoshida, or Mayto?

Yuki gets my vote.

I would suggest BabySaster.

you miss Kohara Riko (the Sketchbook), Tonaki Sachiko (FLiP)

For me,first Midori Miyako,and then Saki and Miki from Showya..

My favourites are Marin, Misa and Saki, no Narumi or Miyu !

1. Miyako 2. Midori even if they could only play G chord, both are the best among other guitarists, because im the big fan of both, period.

日本のガールズギターリストに詳しいね 個人的にはSakiが好きやな 日本を好いてくれて、ありがとうー

Harusnya ada Rumi min dari zestria/Holderlins dan sekarang di Rebellious streak

Hadir nyimak masss kangen buat cover drumm android

Hal-ca rules!

Kida of Tricot has to be on this list. Her play is unique.

Tomo Zo крутая!!!

Well what can you say? Seems this list sums everything up with a nice bow, I could work all day and not change a thing about it, spot on, and as for the western music maker's, maybe you should look in this direction and get back on course instead of the garbage 🗑️ that's being put out.
