(ロリ神レクイエム) Loli God Requiem

Ui Shigure's song '(ロリ神レクイエム) Loli God Requiem' is a complex piece that seems to blend elements of satire, social commentary, and a playful yet dark tone. The lyrics, which are in Japanese, use the term 'loli,' a shortened form of 'Lolita,' which refers to the portrayal of young girls in a way that is often sexualized. The song appears to be a critique of those who fetishize youth and innocence, particularly in the context of internet culture and the otaku community, which is known for its interest in anime and manga.

The repeated phrase 'さわったらたいほ' which translates to 'If you touch, you're arrested!' suggests a warning against the inappropriate behavior of sexualizing minors. The song's title, 'Loli God Requiem,' could be interpreted as a 'requiem' or a mass for the dead, in this case, symbolizing the death of the 'loli god,' or the end of the glorification of the sexualization of young girls. The lyrics are filled with a mix of playful sounds and serious warnings, creating a contrast that highlights the absurdity of the subject matter.

Ui Shigure, as an artist, often incorporates humor and irony into her music. This song, with its catchy tune and seemingly light-hearted delivery, actually carries a deeper message about the dangers of certain aspects of fan culture. It's a call to recognize and reject the objectification and exploitation of the innocence associated with 'loli' characters, and by extension, real children. The song's upbeat tempo and quirky sound effects juxtapose the gravity of its message, making it a thought-provoking piece on a sensitive issue.
