Big City Girl's Ondo
A story of a little teen age girl in a big city. Once deeply trapped by the hands of evil, turns her life around thriving to become a humble community leader and trying her best to inspire especially the lost souls as she used to be.

自己紹介
遅れましたが
失礼申します
私十七
ガキのわりには
心できてます
It's been a long time coming
Many years up to this
For my official introduction
apology for my rudeness
I am 17
I am just a kid
But I am rock solid
怖がりな
奴は一人も
*周りにいません
準備ばんたんな
仲間の班長
どこまでなりとも
やってまいります
Ain't no cowards in my pack
Troops are ready to go
I'm the head hancho
Danger is no matter
My presence will make it flee
Chorus
大江戸 都会名物
西新宿 育ちの娘だよ
針は曲げても折れないよ
Big city of Edo
I'm the local speciality
I'm the girl who grew up in Nishi Shinjuku
You can try to bend my core but you can't break me
隅田川
*のほとり一人の
命捧げた夏もありました
待ってハチ公 渋谷の夜明けは
厳しかったです
Sumida River
Life sacrificed by the river bank
Waited by Hachiko
Something ripped my soul as dawn fell on Shibuya
ご承知と
おもいはしますが
一つ最後に
申して帰ります
*自分の大敵
裏切るものには
けして感謝せぬ
In case you weren't aware
I will say this only once more
Betrayal has no function
But be the path of your destruction
大江戸 都会名物
表参道 荒らした娘だよ
命 千は持ってるよ
Big city of Edo
I'm the local speciality
I'm the girl who terrorized Omotesando
I've got myself a thousand lives
大江戸 明治神宮
カラス追いながら踊った娘だよ
しんは曲げても折れないよ
The big city of Edo
Meiji Jinguu
I'm the girl who chased the crows and danced through the night
You can try to bend my core but you can't break me
Over wrap

About Lolita Dark:
Lolita Dark is an Epic Rock band with roots in Southern California and Japan, formed in 2012. Fronted by Shibuya-born singer/songwriter Rayko, their sound and visuals depict a world of light and dark, East meets West, and past meets present. Their sound weaves together crunching guitar riffs, progressive baselines, lush harmonies and complex melodic structures in songs that reflect both the angst and optimism of an increasingly interconnected world.
Their first album, “Tokyo Status” was released in 2012, and due to the high demand by their cult like followers Lolita Dark released their second album "Queen's Decade" in 2014. Besides selling out venues such as The House of Blues and The Viper Room, Lolita Dark has been one of the highest demanded independent bands to open for various label acts from Japan including Gacharic Spin (Universal Music Japan), and Back ON (Avex) at various Anime conventions throughout East and West coast.
In January 2015 Lolita Dark was invited by NAMM (The National Association of Music and Merchants) to hold a panel to discuss their success, and in July Lolita Dark signed a 5 year exclusive recording/distribution contract with Sparks Japan for the entire East Asia Market including Japan, Korea, and China.
