No idea how many of you interested in the big 4 thrash metal bands had performed on one stage together in 2010.

Suppose when the situation is getting better and a dare concert organizer decided to hold a concert of Japanese Girl Bands (not groups). Who will be your big four? Of course Scandal is the headliner. 

I will propose the following to the organizer
Scandal
Band-Maid
Roselia
Silent Siren

The thing with the Big 4 was that they all started at about the same time, and collectively they kick-started a brand new genre of hard rock.  I don't think Japan really has an equivalent of this scenario, but I propose the following which means a couple need to reunite (like Anthrax did the Big 4 shows):

Scandal
Band-Maid
Show-Ya
Stereopony

For me its 
Scandal
Silent siren
Tricot
Band maid. Gotta end on a hard rock note

My picks are:

Scandal
Silent Siren
Band Maid
Stereopony (They started around the same time as Scandal, and I feel they would have been the number 2 girls band right now if they hadn't broken up. So, I think it's only right that they re-unite to be part of this big 4 show.)

I would pick :

 SCANDAL
 Band-Maid
 Tricot

 and even more heavy !

 Lovebites

Definitely I like a lot more than 4 bands. But if need to choose it will be bands that currently exist with current band members. Without any possible reunions. Therefore, it will be 

SCANDAL
BAND-MAID
Aldious
Gacharic Spin (or SILENT SIREN they are too very good, but only 4 places)

My Big 4: 
Scandal
Dobondobondo
Almond Crush
DobondoCrush

Lol! Nah Just Kidding, here is mine:
SCANDAL 
ONE OK ROCK
BAND MAID
UVERWORLD

This question about Girls Bands as I understand. So you must change 2 bands

^All great bands you guys have posted. 

Though.. I've worked in a live music venue before and can see that joint band events make the most sense if the bands actually play in the same genre (personally don't consider "all-female" a genre) and their fanbases largely overlap. Otherwise you're likely to have a good portion of the audience bored at each point; the bands on stage can feel this negative energy and it affects their performance too.

For this reason, I'd go with these four for a solid pop rock show:
Scandal
Stereopony
Silent Siren
Elfriede

These ladies can do a separate Big Four metal show:
Aldious
Mary's Blood
Lovebites
Bridear

Band-Maid doesn't seem to fit either group for me cos they're hard rock -- neither pop rock nor "heavy" enough to be metal. I know a lot of Scandal fans are also Band-Maid fans, but not vice versa.

I hope I can use defunct bands.

In order of performance:
LAZYgunsBRISKY
Stereopony
FLiP
SCANDAL

Personally, my top four favorite japanese all-girl bands are SCANDAL, FLiP, Stereopony and Negoto. But Negoto probably wouldn't really fit this concert genre-wise, so that's why I'm replacing them with LAZYgunsBRISKY.

The big four would be

SCANDAL
SILENT SIREN
BAND-MAID
Shishamo

Scandal, Mary's Blood, Show-ya, Doll$boxx (I am somehow much more into it rather than Gacharic Spin)

Agree about Doll$boxx over Gacharic Spin.  They would have made my list if I could have done a top 5 or 6.

For me Doll$boxx is more standard, like a regular band. Gacharic Spin is more unusual in sound and experiments, interesting, especially when they had dancers in their lineup. And their live shows was amazing with this lineup.

Scandal
Band-Maid
Princess Princess
Shonen Knife

Damn, I totally forgot about Princess Princess! Guitar Man and Rock Me are among my favourite rock songs ever.

SCANDAL
Stereopony
Raise A Suilen
Lovebites

YESSS. And if there's a fifth slot, I'd throw Roselia into the mix too.

Me too, but I still prefer RAS to Roselia 

I would say :

SCANDAL
Band-Maid
Aldious
LOVEBITES



Oh, and Aldious are also from Osaka

My other four all-female bands:
1. Show-ya - I think almost everyone here knows them, LOL!

2. Bon-Bon Blanco - Bon-Bon Blanco was a Latin-inspired dance-pop band active until 2010. They were a league of their own in my opinion.


3. TsuShiMaMiRe - One of the best Japanese punk rock bands in the last two decades.


4. Pink Sapphire - A short-lived but influential hard rock band from the early 90s that discovered recently. They reunited and have been active since 2014. Man, they're all HOT!

Scandal (obviously)
SHISHAMO
Silent Siren
Chatmonchy
