𝕄𝕚𝕕𝕟𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝔾𝕖𝕞𝕤 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 - E21 Japanese Leftovers

Did you miss me?

Are you enjoying my Korean-to-Japan musical trip?
Did you love last week's Lolita Experience?
You must have loved the artwork.....

Those Lolitas were such a Gem:

𝕄𝕚𝕕𝕟𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝔾𝕖𝕞𝕤 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 - E20 - The Holy Grail of Lolita J-POP

Although I did enjoy that sick & crazy J-Metal stuff as well:

So we had J Metal vs J Lolitas and even those Korean Beats ...

And after three weeks of delicious Asian stuff, I do have some leftovers.

So let´s dig in because everyone loves Chinese leftovers and I am sure these J Leftovers will be めちゃくちゃ美味しい

---

One more, just because I can´t let this all go to waste without sharing, so have some of the sweet and sour stuff I still have on my musical plate.

Ｔａｋｅ Ｍｙ Ｈａｎｄ ＆ Ｔｒｉｐ Ｗｉｔｈ Ｍｅ

Okay, let's start with the most obvious dish after talking about Baby Metal...

Playing Baby Lolita

It´s time for one more baby...baby baby...lady baby

LADYBABY - Nippon manju

That was very sexy, crazy, cool...or at least crazy cool but I love how those sick F´s mix video games with metal and Tamagoshi voices...like these girls.

Ｔａｋｅ　Ｍｙ　Ｃｈａｎｃｅ/DOLL＄BOXX

Can I call this next dish Nasty J Neo-Punk?

Just those uniforms are enough to keep my attention but on top of that, they actually sound great.

TRiDENT『Continue』MV【exガールズロックバンド革命】

Okay before anyone comments I just play girls...you are wrong...but for some...probably marketing...reason most crazy J stuff is female-based but there ios an occasional guy band.

＜ノラガミARAGOTO＞OPテーマ THE ORAL CIGARETTES「狂乱 Hey Kids!!」

But trust me these J Girls can seriously rock and grunt....this is crazy how that voice comes from such a tiny girl.

NEMOPHILA / REVIVE

Just to proof that these girls can do more than look cute and scream.

Some heavenly rock voices that really impressed me.

Lonesome_Blue「Welcome To Heavenly Secret Base」

Let´s keep that normal... well normal for Japanese standards, music coming. This is probably my personal favorite.

【Ado】うっせぇわ

Although this ALI Project wakes my J Pop Lolita Love senses, it´s gonna be a hard tune to pick again this week. Leftovers are always so crazy good.

ALI PROJECT - Watashino Barawo Kuminasai

Another contender for this week´s biggest Gem is this Luft tune. Aldious is amazing, I really need to keep them on my radar.

Aldious - Luft (Music Video) ※Re-Upload

And well it would not be my crazy shitshow if I would not close this session with an O.TA.KU which I think is Japanese for Bang!

【花冷え。】 - O･TA･KUラブリー伝説 - 〜 OTAKU Lovely Densetsu〜 - Music Video 【HANABIE.】

Encore

Okay, I need to play that This Milk band once more as really they have been my biggest discovery these last few weeks. This combo of classical violin, French court dresses, and electronics is what makes me melt.

All that J & K stuff has been amazing, but I am getting a bit homesick....missing pianos, lyrics I understand, and strange little girls.

Hence our final dish is this amazing Lolita Stuff Once More!

Die Milch - あなたのいない世界 ~A world without you~

What Song to Send my Son

My son started a playlist Stuff For Dad and I will be adding my favorite song to my playlist for him: Songs For My Son!

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/12nIvKWCZjLmkCT3P7thTs

Every week I have to choose one song and tell you about it. And you Dear Reader tell me your favorite song in the comments and feel free to try to change my mind.

I think this song has it all. It has Manga, Metal, Crazy Electro, really everything that I consider part of this trip to J&K Country.
I added 【Ado】うっせぇわ to my son´s playlist but if you don´t agree that is the biggest Gem....

Please try and change my mind!
