The Cabinets, pop punk band with a lolita vocalist


Do you know those things that you end up digging on the internet that you didn't even know that existed, but it's been so long that you don't even have enough information? So. The Cabinets was a Japanese pop punk band. The initial band was composed only of men, dated 1989. As for what I was reading, the band ended up meeting again in 2007, but this time with a female vocalist - and she is a lolita!

It is not clear what happened to the band. There is information on at least three EP's (extended play) on iTunes that are still on sale today.

The band was formed in 2008 by Ken (vocals and guitar), Mikako (vocals), G (guitar) and Hisashi (drums). Below I put some cool excerpts from the interview they gave to Ambi-Japan, which were translated into English by La Carmina (2008):


"In the 80s, there was a new wave of culture; punk groups had a lot of Lolita fans, but today, they listen to Visual Kei. So we want to bring Lolitas back to Punk. Our Lolita also adds liveliness to our group."
  
"We think Lolita culture is an antithesis to popular culture. In this way, it’s a lot like Punk culture."



And you, what do you think about the band?

  2. Que legal!!! Umas das nossas lolifriends daqui cantava em uma banda, e ela já usou lolita para se apresentar. Teve uma outra que era uma das vocalistas de uma das bandas mais famosas que tocam em eventos de anime aqui na cidade, a Shinobi 88. Ela também já usou lolita nos shows, mas saiu da banda há um bom tempo e também largou o estilo. Mas essa banda existe até hoje. De qualquer forma, eu achava tão lindo assisti-las ao vivo, cantando enquanto estavam vestidas naquelas roupas fofinhas!
