Lolita Born in The Countryside (feat. Kato Rihona)

"Lolita Born in the Countryside" was inspired by a scene glimpsed from the window of a rural train-a woman in Lolita fashion riding a mamachari bicycle through the countryside. While the track features a catchy melody and refreshingly bright harmonies, its unique presence stems from the contrast of an assertive hyperpop-style synthesizer layered directly over a swinging, physical band rhythm. The result is a song that balances pop appeal with a certain charming distortion.

As the striking title suggests, the song is built on the conscious mashup of seemingly opposing elements. This thematic duality is reflected not only in the combination of "hyperpop" and"band sound"but also in the collaboration itself: indie band The Otals and multi-talented voice actress and actress Kato Rihona -a pairing that metaphorically mirrors the contrast between"countryside" and "Lolita."

The Otals' audacious ambition to transcend existing frameworks and blur the unconscious boundaries between different types of content finds vivid expression in this distorted yet pop collaboration.
