I would not deny the girls are real cute, as you can see from the photos here, and it was the same before one chinko(!?) got into the band, but the charm of the band is not there at all. It is the live on stage and the energy coming to you straight. In fact they constantly tour and building up their popularity through piles of gigs wherever they are.
You may wonder if they might have lost power by loosing 2 members and having the new ones, there is no worry and the gig of the night was a good evidence.
Especially the energy of the vocalist, Masayo, and the guitarist, Goro, was sparkling all over the stage. In some parts, they appeared a bit comical, but it was far too obvious what they are standing on which is real punk. - smashing mag
LOLITA NO. 18: Lolita No. 18 is probably doing this SXSW on frequent flier miles. This is at least the fourth trip from Japan to Austin for the girls. Their too-cute pop punk usual endears them quickly to the annual Japan Night crowds. (Mercury, Midnight) -- Michael Bertin - Austin chronicle
