Continuing the theme of seiyuu from Bocchi the Rock and also my first forays into idol groups: Wake Up, Girls! was an idol unit active from 2014 to 2019 whose leader was none other than Yoshino Aoyama, voice of Hitori "Bocchi" Gotou. (She's the one singing the very first line in this performance, with the light blue ribbon.)

Far from the absolute nobody before Bocchi the Rock she's sometimes painted as (also by her own presentation), she had before already led this unit throughout the years, culminating in this final concert in a brimful Saitama Super Arena in front of about 35,000 people (full concert playlist) that wowed her senpais Rie Takahashi and Reina Ueda.

During the unit's active years, she also voiced the character based on herself in various accompanying anime productions.

After the unit disbanded after this concert, the only other member that continued to be significantly active in the idol and/or anime space is Minami Tanaka, who e.g. went on to become part of Franchouchou in Zombieland Saga.

Recently I commented here that I might finally be getting into idol stuff in my old years, and it seems to be really happening via the gateway of idol anime... This song is from the second season of Zombieland Saga and I chose it because it's actually pretty great as a rock song (though not "death metal" as billed in that video).

The anime seiyuu actually formed an idol unit and did several big concerts with all the songs from the show. And most of the songs are really pretty great.

"CENT" is CENT CHiHiRO CHiTTiii's solo project. She started it before the end of BiSH.

This is one of the more rock-like songs from her.

I just came across this live video of two of the greatest personalities of anime music. Unfortunately it ends a bit abruptly, I think because they were transitioning into the next song. But the beginning with Kanno on the piano is all the more precious!

One of the fun songs of Yabai T-Shirts Yasan. Here is the MV to the song and there is also a "Nisekoi" version (I believe that this song was one of the soundtracks of the Nisekoi live action movie; I've never seen it).

I remember reading an article in the Japan Times about this band after I discovered them back in 2018. Unfortunately, I'm currently unable to find it.

IIRC, they met at the university in Osaka and performed at a competiton where one of the critics said that they will never be successful because of their unsual lyrics. But now (2023) they are playing on all big rock festivals in Japan and have performed in the Osaka Jo-Hall (in 2021) and Nippon Budokan (this year).

Their lyrics are a bit unusal but fun. There are songs about bad Wi-Fi connections, different file formats and lots of Tank-Tops 😄

One of my favorite songs from Chatmonchy. I believe it was also the first song I've heard from them.

BiSH-hoshi ga matataku yoru ni by BiSH performed on 2023-06-29 at Tokyo Dome. This was their last performance.

The song is a bit special to me because it brought me to BiSH last year. What I really like about this performance is that you can hear the chanting from the audience.

I didn't think such a conjunction of awesomeness could exist. Almost feels illegal

I'm new to this community and this is my very first post.

As my favorite band is SCANDAL, the choice what to post is easy. A classic from SCANDAL: Scandal Baby
