Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! formed in 2011 as a four-member all-female rock band. Their name translates to 'It's Definitely Your Fault That I'm Not Popular!' and reflects a certain self-deprecating humor. The members are Aki Hatakeyama on vocals and guitar, Tomoyo Kurosawa on guitar and backing vocals, Nanami Ushijima on bass and backing vocals, and Moe Nojima on drums and backing vocals.
Their music leans into energetic pop-rock with some metal and punk edges. Lyrically, they often work through themes of social anxiety and self-consciousness, which you can hear in songs like 'Dou Kangaete Mo Watashi Wa Warukunai' and 'Watashi Ga Motenai No Wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera Ga Warui! (tv Size)'. They've mentioned influences like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, and Paramore.
They released their self-titled debut album in 2013, followed by a second album in 2015 and a compilation in 2016. Their 2012 single 'Dou Kangaete Mo Watashi Wa Warukunai' reportedly faced some radio and television bans due to its message, which the band defended as a form of artistic expression.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
