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:
𝕄𝕚𝕕𝕟𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝔾𝕖𝕞𝕤 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 - E19 Japanese Metal Is Bat Shit やばい
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.
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
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.
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.
But trust me these J Girls can seriously rock and grunt....this is crazy how that voice comes from such a tiny girl.
Just to proof that these girls can do more than look cute and scream.
Some heavenly rock voices that really impressed me.
Let´s keep that normal... well normal for Japanese standards, music coming. This is probably my personal favorite.
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.
Another contender for this week´s biggest Gem is this Luft tune. Aldious is amazing, I really need to keep them on my radar.
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!
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!
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!
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!
All these gems were added to this week´s YouTube playlist.
All Midnight Gems Playlist can be found here
The Spotify playlist might not capture the whole show but is meant to represent it as well as Spotify makes it possible:
If you want a weekly reminder just put "Tag List" in the comments!
Thank Goodness you made it to the end...but stay tuned there is a new Gems Session each week.
