Best Japanese Girl Groups of 2014
This is for strictly Japanese-based acts that record in Japanese. Please choose off ability, even if they are cute!
Babymetal is a Japanese metal idol band. Their line-up consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal", and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal". Su-metal is one of the best vocals in idol Pop and their choreography is sleek, plus their mixture of genres is unique and cool.
Honestly one of the most talented groups out there. They are exceptional dancers with amazing, clear vocals combined with great composing.
AKB48's songs are good and cheerful. Girls like Watanabe Mayu and Kojima Haruna are cute. All girls are so hard working to catch their dreams. They are really the best girl group.
AKB48 play their concept well. And Labrador Retriever's line-up was a good one, providing some good, if auto-tuned, vocals and a catchy dance with a funny music video.
Unique, classic and a double-up. They've gone through fourteen years as of this year! Yaayy! Their vocals, while slightly stereotypical, blend into the music like a dream and their choreography is incredibly sharp.
Momoiro Clover Z are exceptional. They have amazing dance routines and an ability to sing live that some people lack.
Nogizaka46 have amazing choreography, as proved by Natsuno Free & Easy and previous singles. Their vocals are less sugary-sweet than AKB48.
Scandal have some good instruments and their vocals are relatively good.
C-ute are wonderful dancers with some good vocals. They can also play sexy, while also playing cute.
Lovendor are good, with some wonderful singing and non-existent dancing. While Risa (? ) looks out of place sometimes, her vocals fit in well.
