/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've been thinking about putting together a play list of songs that are similar to my Lolita aesthetic/that i like to listen to when dressed up. Have any of you done that? I'd like to hear if it's online somewhere!

>>9464143
i don't know what OP is but it looks terrible, here are my favourite youtube channels for music, it's mostly jpop, shibuya kei, bossa nova, bit of kpop and k-indie here and there, very cute!

MC Melod¥ Doll is basically a parody lolita rapper. Whether the songs are quality music or not is debatable, imo they're silly and tacky but I like them for what they are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3xnjksbhi8

>>9464180
wow it does look tacky as hell and I haven't even watched the video, i don't need to rot my brain with that shit. i bet whether you could call it music at all is debatable.

no posting BM

>>9464186
Yeah it's not for everyone. I just think it's fun.
But as for actual lolita music, I'm mostly into the good old "classics": Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Ali Project, Kokusyoku Sumire, etc.
I've been obsessed with Malice Mizer's Bara no Seido lately, it's all I've been listening to in the last few months https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v3dcbixUBA&t=188s

>>9464186
Its not a serious song. Its supposed to be tacky because its a joke.

>>9464198
Those are all good ones.
I also like Kanon Wakeshima even though she's a bit old hat at this point. never hear very many other Lolitas bring her up though?
There's an idol group that wears Lolita but I can't remember the name at the moment. It might have been meltia or something similar.

Didn't Misako try and start a music career once? I only ever found one song that she did.

>>9464192
Background music...? Not sure what your saying anon

I really like milis stuff. You can find it on YouTube as well.

My favorites would be chocological, unidentified flavorful object, bathtub mermaid, RT RT, rubber human, world.execute.me

>>9464224
Kanon Wakeshima is great! Is she not popular anymore? I had the impression she's well known among lolitas but that may have been relevant to past years.
You're definitely thinking of Meltia, I think they disbanded earlier this year though. They were cute but not really memorable in my opinion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cifEEkLoOU

Other than the ones already mentioned, I also enjoy Die Milch's music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASEvPEVBuZE I vaguely remember Meta collaborating with them once too, maybe for an event.

Best uchuu kei song

As for people who wear lolita there is Meltia (rip), Kanon Wakeshima, Meri Merli, Kokusyoku Sumire, Lolita Complex. Do ALI Project and Moon Kana count?

>>9464224
And yes, Misako did have something going on with Lolitina but it was... eh. I like it the way I like MC Melody Doll, if a little bit less (the obvious autotune makes it a bit unpleasant), just something kinda tacky but fun to listen to.

>>9464252
Moon Kana definitely counts.

Bonjour Suzuki is great

Kanon Wakeshima was my jam when I was younger, but I think she unfortunately fell into obscurity. A shame, really.

>>9464252
>Do ALI Project and Moon Kana count?
Absolutely! Arika is legit, there's an article? quote? of her opinion of what lolita is (a maiden's armor etc.), obviously she's appeared in the GLBs many times and she's modeled for brands in the past.
I don't listen to Moon Kana personally but she's another one of the iconic "classic" lolita musicians.

>>9464280
Kanon fell from glory when she ditched Mana. Don't ditch Mana.

>>9464320
Coincidentally, the same thing happened to KERA and the GLB.

I wrote Behind the Bows (You guys called me ukulele-sama? That was cute) But I took it down. I got really sick and went to the hospital and did a studio recording while I was there (hell yeah the hospital literally had a music studio) Now I just have to get my hands on it. In the meantime would anyone like a bootleg phone recording lol?

>>9464386
Go for it, anon! I don't think I've heard it before but I'm curious. Hope you feel better now by the way!

>>9464388
Oh yeah. Got a new insulin pump and everything. Surprisingly no kidney or organ damage in general but I was in there for a good month just writing music and getting my diet straight and sugars stabilized. I was so sad to not be able to wear lolita though! I've been dressing up like crazy since I got out and going out to do theater stuff instead of party like I used to (That drove my sugars crazy) and I always feel so beautiful and so much more healthy. I'm probably going to a theater gig tonight too and dressing up so that'll be fun. That means I'll get my ukulele back tonight so I can record it tonight and zippy share it for you guys to download.

merry merli has a new video with Misako

>>9464401
Wishing you good health, anon. Can't wait to hear your song!

>>9464445
I like the imagery and the lyrics but not the vocals. I get that it's supposed to sound mechanical but it doesn't sound very pleasant, at least in my opinion.

>>9464238
I think they meant bowel movements. The only acceptable ambiance for everything lolita

Although I also listen to link related
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JIrtU4lTQk

>>9464238
>>9464550
Probably baby metal

>>9464270
Bonjour Suzuki is my newest jam. Good taste, anon!

My playlist of songs I found cute
Cute songs that give joy: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLudgHaeDJJL7t4nbW-TaTKn58Ik_f4nd0

>>9464136
Does anybody have a link to the salopetti vocaroo? I want to make it my ringtone.

>>9464224
>There's an idol group that wears Lolita
Ladybaby!

>>9464840
The group with Ladybeard? Have they ever worn actually lolita? I remember their outfits being ita as fuck.

https://youtu.be/mu2z4Uf9Tgc
i know look pretty ita but its still a good song

band maid is pretty good, again not a 100% lolita either
https://youtu.be/Uds7g3M-4lQ

>>9464857
>that first link
I cringed at first but I'm glad I stuck through with it. Too bad the "lolita" outfits are bad but oh well.

>>9464840
Merry merli

Idk if Yousei Teikoku counts but I really like their music, so here you go. https://youtu.be/_EeYxtAeaX4

>>9464851
I don't think they ever quite wore lolita. Ladybeard left Ladybaby for a new group, Deadlift Lolita.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6B_oEtBhnM

The only actual lolita idol groups I know of are Melita (disbanded)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cifEEkLoOU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW2MBw058DY

and Merry Merli.

is lolita komplex still at all relevant? ive been out of the scene for a... very long time

>>9464186
>being this new
>having no sense of humour

>>9464270
Lovelovelove Bonjour Suzuki! Not quite as lolita, but Izumi Makura has a really similar sound and aesthetic (soft feminine Japanese rap).
Her song from Space Dandy is one of my favourites https://soundcloud.com/animeost4e/izumi-makura-shiritai-full

how about KYARY PAMYU PAMYU??????

https://youtu.be/IaXoGk3euk0
https://youtu.be/gzApdY4qdrA

I can't get enough of Hollow Mellow. They're a gothic rock/metal band that performs in lolita. Misako also appears in their latest music video: https://youtu.be/gjss2n1cUoQ

You want lolita aesthetic and beautiful songwriting?
/vkei/ welcomes you :)
>>9432788

>>9466795
I like you, anon.

>>9466789
Wait, isn't that Iruma Rioka? I was so into her when I first got into lolita. Her music has such a great feel/aesthetic.

https://youtu.be/NWz8IhLfm1Y
https://youtu.be/SeMnZH23Olo

>>9464175
How fucking new are you?

>>9466805
You too, anon-san :)

>>9464252
What happened to Meltia? I didn't follow them closely and they just went away.

>>9467350
They made some 2016 releases and then disbanded that year, apparently.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC7y_1HG486n3otp1AE5U5ldOEJubdB67
YT removed a lot of the Kalafina songs I liked as well as some others so I'm still rebuilding.

>>9466777
no one said that probably because everyone already knows her.
still good though.

>>9468053
Or because there's nothing lolita about her

>>9468060
that's also true

Oldie but goodie
https://youtu.be/EYvmJIjInww

I tried to make a Spotify playlist a while back to give me the right vibes to get ready for meetups. She's not lolita related, but I included Meg on there because she has such an elegant sound. https://youtu.be/6oSWUerYBfE

>in b4 Melanie Martinez

>>9468080
Nobody would have mentioned her anyway

>>9466039
they still play gigs

>>9468080
Ew.

>>9464252
I'm so glad Meltia is gone so we won't have those cringy betas from /jp/ making generals here anymore.

Annin Showchestra/杏仁ショーケストラ is a new lolita band which distinguishes itself by a highly varied mixture of instruments. The members are KiRiKo (erhu, the chinese traditional instrument), Risa (accordion), Yuyan (cajon), Arisa (cello), Yuka (double bass) and Reo (piano). They will attend the Japan Expo in Paris this year.
Their first track "Beethoven Virus" (which you can find in their FB page) is really good. It's so pleasant to see new musicians in the Gothic & Lolita scene.

The ones where LivingTombstone joined are nice. That guy has been hired by Yamaha for some Vocaloid demo's (he worked on one for Cyber Songman). Can't stand the horrible recording and mixing from put it in my bag tho. Especially when the guy starts halfway trough.

You should not take it more serious than Weird All Yankovic songs, but I still like to listen to them every once in a while. Especially White and Nerdy and It's all about the Pentiums.

>>9464136
I actually kinda liked Misako's Lolitina. Otherwise, there are some nice Vocaloid songs around that will fit the aesthetic of lolita. Not much tho. And we still have Mayu who is very lolita inspired outfit wise.

>>9471260
Is it me or adleast 3 of them wear Bodyline skirts? Nothing wrong with Bodyline, but I never seen it on actual bands or anything wearing it, beside bands or musicians I don't want to have any connotation with lolita.

>>9471222
I wonder why they don't care about merry merli?

>>9471260
I don't know enough about music to know if they're skilled

>>9465349
Yousei Teikoku are so addictive. It took me a little while to get into them but I still find myself binge-listening their stuff every now and then.

I know people say Lolita doesn't have a music scene but in Japan they seem to be linked to the general gothic scene and visual kei. Pic related is Aural Vampire.

>>9472880
I love AV, cannibal coast is one my favorite songs ever

This song by Urbangarde gives me lolita vibes

https://youtu.be/SbKRMVXjnaQ

What is your favorite kaya song?

>>9472880
Seeing Aural Vampire live was the highlight of my year way back when. Are they still active?

Yukari Tamura!! She's mostly known for voice acting but she's a singer and also wears lolita.

Unfortunately the only music video I know where she wears it is Chelsea Girl, which is super oldschool and was taken off of Youtube so I can only find it on this sketchy website with poor quality. My personal favorite songs of hers (which are lolitaesque, IMO) are Daisy Blue, Air Shooter, and Mon Cheri.

>>9475904
Thanks,I didn't know about her

>>9465735
I'd never heard of Merry Merli and I've needed something to fill the Meltia-shaped hole in my heart. Thanks anon!

>>9467350
They released a short album and then announced their disbandment about a week after. It must have really tanked or something. When Nadeshiko and Caty graduated I knew they wouldn't last much longer but I still hoped they'd do okay.

>>9471222
The Meltia threads were actually pretty nice. There was never anything creepy or weird, just some photo updates and talking about their live shows.

>>9471308
And those armwarmers. I feel like they're wearing it as a gimmick they just picked up instead of doing any research or actually wearing it.

>>9474010
yes, just preformed at anime matsuri unfortunately

>>9464224
>Didn't Misako try and start a music career once? I only ever found one song that she did.
She dropped a new one recently and I like it much better.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RdwxrKHUig

I'm just going to drop this tune from Rule of Rose. It gives me a gothic lolita vibe, if not a "descending a staircase with mascara running down your face" vibe.
