I’m a Gothic Lolita, and I am and have been aware that Lolita can also be a term for a young girl who attracts older men. We’re not stupid, you know.

Lolita was a mistranslation. Some people just call it Loli, to avoid confusion.

Okay, I can see how Dir en Grey, The GazettE and Girugamesh can all be catergorized together, but not along with An Cafe and Utada Hikaru. (They’re all good, but unrelated.)

An Cafe is bubbly, cute and a slew of other adjectives for the stereotyical osahre kei band. They sing about Tiramisu, love and candy (though not necessarily in that order).

Utada is a talented R+B singer, who has a great mind for music creation and production.

Diru, The GazettE and Girugamesh and J-Metal/Rock. Their songs are about blood, death, broken hearts, women and things like that.

That’s all I wanted to say.

Don’t feel bad, I knew it all too!

Among other things about Japan.
Like the fact that it has 600+ ski resorts, but for some reason, Hoshu is popular with Aussies.

Otaku: someone with no life, obsessed with Japanese culture, manga, video games etc. Someone like the poeple commenting on this. lol
Shonen-Ai: literally means “boy love” it’s boy/boy stuff that generally included hugs, hand holding and sexual tension. Whereas Yaoi is just hardcore boy/boy.
Girugamesh: an awesome Japanese band. like The GazettE, An Cafe, Dir en Grey, Panic Channel, Utada Hikaru etc.

The main difference between the Japanese and American versions of Sailor Moon was that in America, they made lesbians Michiru and Haruka [Neptune and Uranus] *cousins*. Because all their flirting and “Let’s go home” and occasional fondling was very cousin-ly.

Actually, the girls I know who are into lolita fashion DO know at least the basic outline of the book. They just don’t care.

It was a book about pedophiles, but now it’s used (in Japan) to mean girls and guys -yes, guys – who like to dress up in frilly lacey dresses.

Well, at least someone payed attention to the roots of this “Lolita” fashion that girls proudly put themselves under without the hint of an idea where it came and how it got the name…. then again To japan, nothing really maintains the meaning, especially English… Lolicon, anyone?…

Hehe. Your wisdom exceeds your curiousity

A pity others already explained it

It’s funny to watch on ebay when people sell yaoi manga books. They usually add “If you don’t know what yaoi is, don’t bid on this.”

Well, I wouldn’t trust Webster with the time of day; deliberate misspellings in order to distance the nation from Mother England lead to things like “ninjas” and “shrimps” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary”.

I find it hilarious that when something Japanese is in a graph with other stuff, everyone rags on it. But when it’s a full-on graph of nerding awesomeness, the haters recede back into the woodwork and the fans come out to play.
We need moar graphs like this.
