[Lolita Singers] Arisaka Emi ❤


I'm always curious to discover new bands, as well as new books, everything lolita. That's how I came across Emi Arisaka yesterday.
According to a quick search on Google, Emi has been active for at least a decade. How could I not have heard of her before?
Emi is an indie pop-rock singer, who uses outfits inspired in lolita fashion. The little I heard from her songs was really good; it reminds me of the anime openings. There is not much about her on the internet, only a twitter, an instagram, a blog in Japanese, some stores ... Not even an entry in Wikipedia. But her music is good, a mix of pop with something more energetic sometimes.








An act of kindness


Arisaka made headlines last week for her kindness. According to the stories, since the beginning of her career there was a loyal fan who went on almost every show. The 55-year-old man whose nickname was Okkyan suddenly stopped attending the singer's concerts last year. Thinking it was very strange, Arisaka then begins a search in the fan's social networks, until discovering where he lived and going to pay him a visit. But when she arrives, she discovers by his neighbors that Okkyan died in August, victim of a serious artery problem. She also discovers that Okkyan did not even had a funeral, since there were no close relatives. So she decides to honor him with a memorial show.
In a post in her twitter accont, Arisaka leaves a message for her fan: "Okkyan, listen to us from the sky above".

  1. Não conhecia a cantora mas admito que tenho saudades deste tipo de cantoras, como a Kanon Wakeshima e um pouco da Pamyu (no inicio da sua fama).
    Amei a homenagem que ela fez ao seu fã ;_;
    Obrigada por mais um tesourinho encontrado no nosso mundinho lolita <3<3<3

    1. Eu lembro que na época que comecei quem estava bem em voga era a Nana Kitade! Adorava os visuais e as músicas dela. Pena que ela largou lolita...
