japanese music bands?

[kyupi]

I have to do this thing for my Textiles Technology A-Level course, looking into Elegant Gothic Lolita and Classic Lolita fashions in Japan. Does anyone know of any japanese music bands which have these influences? I think Malice Mizer is one? Correct me if I am wrong :p Thanks a lot :-)

Laruku and Dir En Grey are no real Lolitas, aren't they :blush:

The major Lolita Idol is Mana (ex Malice Mizer / Moi Dix Mois)
You'll find a lot fansites with great galleries!
Besides there is the group "Lareine" (esp. bass player Emiru!) and
Aya (Psycho le cemu). Those three regulary appear at "Gothic & Lolita Bible" magazine too. If you could find this magazine anywhere to buy, order or online, I guess it would help you much!
Well, in case of some more indie bands: Take a look at the gallery of "Invasion dream" :victory:

Malice Mizer didn't have EGL or Lolita influence, by the way. Mana just dressed that way, and only once did he wear Lolita for an official costume. Now... if you're looking for just MUSICIANS who are Lolita's, I can help.

Mana did dress as Lolita very often! Mostly as "Elegant Gothic Lolita"
and "Elegant Gothic Aristocrat" and he still does wear it from time to time in Moi dix Mois! I never said the rest of MM are Lolita Style too...
Anyway Mana is the No. 1 Idol of the scene, the fans of this style are geared to his costumes. Then there's also his own famous clothing store "Moi Meme Moitie": http://www.rakuten.co.jp/moi-meme-moitie/

well, Alot of Visual bands have stopped being so visual or lolita...If you just want lolita style and some musicians who have worn the lolita style maybe once check out the gothic lolita bible... I cant really think of lolita's right now but I can think of visual bands....^^;

[ruth~route]

[mizerable_d]

Mana is like the starter of EGL, dude...lol i think Totchi wore a similar princess costume in Raison Detre PV. hm...ya it's mostly Mana-sama...
