Women in J-Metal ?

[Jason Pitzer]

Just wondering if there is any women in J-Metal like there are in the usand Europe. Cristina Scabbia, Otep, Doro, Kittie, Angela Gossow, etc or it just a man's thing in Japan. If anyone could give me some good bands to check out it would be helpful! Thanks for the help!

There are two I know of from a last.fm site. These two are -
Rajas
Show Ya

 

[Kinsao]

I know that Onmyouza has a female singer (their music is pretty good; quite "80s metal" style but I like it XD; she overuses the vibrato but she's not a bad singer at all ), also Clothoid Doll (Youka) but I've never listened to any of their music so I don't know what she's like. Fra-Foa also has a female singer.

There is the band, Metal Chicks, ex-Buffalo Daughter gals, but you probably wouldn't like that.

Sorry, not familiar with any female fronted J-metal bands. What kind of metal are you into ?

 

[Dollporn]

Inugami Circus-dan. Not all female, but with a woman vocalist.
It's cheesy, but it's great! I love them!

I would recommend Exist Trace, they sound a lot like Korn or Pantera. I love them.

There's also another band, called 'Skull Fuc*, [the f-word, lol] although I'm not sure how famous they are. They play mostly death metal.

 

[Liquid Fantasy]

Try Gallhammer.

Does anyone have their songs?

 

[CharismaticDeath]

Also try Onmyo-Za, I don't think any ones mentioned them yet. They have a female singer.

One of the japanese metal queens is Hizumi, singer of Jurassic Jade; they're one of the best thrash metal bands in Japan since the 80's.

You could also try with Flying Vision or Girl'tique, another 80's heavy metal bands
