粛聖!! ロリ神レクイエム☆
椎名もた (siinamota)
The Satirical Requiem of Internet Culture
The song "粛聖!! ロリ神レクイエム☆" by 椎名もた (siinamota) is a satirical piece that delves into the dark and controversial aspects of internet culture, particularly focusing on the objectification of young girls and the phenomenon of 'lolicon' (a term derived from 'Lolita complex', referring to an attraction to young or prepubescent girls). The lyrics are a mix of Japanese and English, and they use a playful tone to address serious issues, creating a stark contrast between the song's upbeat rhythm and its heavy subject matter.
The song's title, which translates to 'Solemn!! Lolita God Requiem☆', suggests a mockingly serious tone, as 'requiem' typically refers to a mass for the dead. The lyrics depict a 'Lolita God' descending upon the world, and the repeated phrase '触ったら逮捕!' ('Touch and you're arrested!') serves as a warning against the sexualization of minors. The song seems to be calling out those who indulge in such fantasies, labeling them as 'lonely' and 'pitiful'. The use of sound effects like 'ずっきゅーん!' and 'ばっきゅーん!' mimic the sound of being struck, perhaps symbolizing the impact of the song's message.
The song also touches on the idea of public shaming and the consequences of one's actions, as it mentions a 'fan meeting in prison' and the notion of being 'exposed'. The 'ui beam' mentioned in the lyrics could be interpreted as a metaphorical weapon used to cleanse the internet of its 'ugliness'. The song ends on a note that suggests there is no paradise for those who engage in such behavior, and that the only salvation is through a figurative 'requiem'—a final farewell to these harmful elements of internet culture.
