DISTRESSHysteric Lolita

HYSTERIC LOLITA was born from a girls’ band project hosted by the popular fashion magazine KERA.
The five-member band, selected from among 520 applicants, championed neo-gothic rock and drew attention with a unique worldview that fused Harajuku-style fashion.
Kicking off with their debut live show at Harajuku Astro Hall in May 2014, they also performed in Taiwan that same year.
The following year, they were active in Paris, France and London, England, and made their mark both in Japan and abroad, including through a tie-in with Nippon TV’s “Buzz Rhythm.” After undergoing a lineup change in 2016, they disbanded in March 2017 to much regret.
Even now, their music—defined by a distinctive sound and innovative visuals—continues to captivate many fans and is perfect for those interested in the fusion of rock and fashion.

Their song “Dear My Friends” is a classic that pairs a straightforward Hi-STANDARD-style beat with heartfelt feelings for dear friends.
In particular, lyrics like “It feels so good to be alive” and “I’m going to do things my own way” help turn the confusion of graduation into a positive outlook—that’s the charm of this track.
The lyrics are written in simple English, so singing along to lift your spirits is a great idea!
Dear♡My Friend (feat. Kapi)HONEY WORKS

The creator unit HoneyWorks and the vocalist Kapi make an unmissable release with their golden tag-team, who have produced massive hits: “Dear♡My Friend (feat.
Kapi).” The song’s lyrics depict the struggle of not being able to be honest and the self-loathing that comes with it.
While incorporating striking phrases, the pop sound brings it all together with a girly vibe.
It’s also a clever touch that different parts convey the perspectives of different characters.

JUJU, who sings about the real feelings of women and is especially popular among women, released this single “Distance” in 2013, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime Space Battleship Yamato 2199.
When you read the lyrics, it feels like a mature song that makes you think there must be circumstances: the two are clearly drawn to each other, in love, yet they can’t be together.
It’s a bittersweet track where she tucks her feelings and desires quietly into her heart, even as the emotions overflow.
