This kind of Called GS(Group Sound),Putting it simply they are all manufactured Garage Band.
From Wiki Group Sounds (or Group Sound, Japanese English: group sounds) is a group of several people formed around electric guitars, electric bass and other electric instruments, who play and sing together. It is said to have been influenced by rock groups such as the Ventures, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in Europe and the USA, and became very popular in Japan from 1967 to 1969. Abbreviated as GS.
Overview. At first glance, GS can be seen as being completely removed from songs, but from the perspective of the music business, it is within the framework of the song hit system[1] and it was entertainment companies such as Watanabe Productions (NABEPRO) that planned to adopt the Western band sound style and commercialise it. GS's representative songs were written by freelance professional writers who were commissioned by the music publishers .
In general, the term ‘Group Sounds’ refers to rock groups and other groups that were active mainly in jazz and go-go cafés in the late 1960s. Common to Group Sounds was that most groups had a lead vocal + electric guitar + electric bass + drums. Exceptions to this were GSs without guitars, such as the early The Happenings Four, and chorus GSs with a group of vocalists and a professional electric band in the background, such as the early Sharp Hawks. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA
