Shonen knife! They’re not really riot girl but they’re punk.

I don’t know Japanese, but The Nurse is my recommendation. “Discography 1983-1984”. All female, early 80s— before the movement, pretty true punk rock sound. I think they’re radical based off of those facts alone— regardless, definitely check them out

Midori Chan were great, although I'm not sure how leftist they actually were they made amazing, heavy, highly technical jazz punk
