I serious think that petite Akiko Takahashi from Japanese sympho-Prog band Ars Nova is just amazing. Listen to any album and you'll hear.....
it should be pointed out that she didn't play on the last 2 Ars Nova albums but she was in the band certainly up to about 2001. I have Android Domina and Book Of The Dead and both are highly recommended albums for anyone who like their prog to be keyboard dominated and symph based. To their credit they are far from being ELP clones. I saw Ars Nova about 12 years ago in London but Akiko had left at that point which was a shame as I never got to see the all female version of Ars Nova.

And Kyoko Kanazawa is the female equivalent of Chris Squire, playing crispy, complex lines on her tinkly Rickenbacker bass (but unlike Chris Squire, she looked so hot in doing so....). The 'all-female' Ars Nova was a real treat to hear/witness, (seeing them on the Progfest '96 video brought tears to my eyes.....) and it is just mind-blowing. 3 beautiful Japanese female musicians giving the male Sympho-Prog contingent a run for their money......
