In honour of International Women’s Day, this month, our team has put together a playlist paying tribute to the women of J-pop.

In this playlist, you’ll find a small selection of Japan’s iconic female pop stars, as well as some younger and lesser known artists and plenty of all-female units and bands. From cool and confident to colourful and “kawaii” to elegant and eccentric, the songs our team has selected highlight many different sides of women in the scene. They also span various decades and genres, offering everything from pure bubblegum pop to tracks influenced by R&B, hip-hop, rock, Eurobeat, reggae, electro and more.

Give the first 100 tracks on the list a spin below, or check out the full playlist here.


What songs would you add to the list? Is there a female Japanese artist you admire? Let us know with a comment on social media.

If you’re enjoying the playlists and want to stay tuned for more, feel free to follow JaME on Spotify.
