Lolita Dark’s Music Video Zesshou is Here!

Lolita Dark’s song “Zesshou” has been released as a music video through their YouTube channel “Lolitadarkmusic”.  We had the pleasure of speaking with their lead singer Ray and that Visit will be up the last part of April.  Until then enjoy the band’s music video and give it your support.  This band to me is a rockin’ band that will appeal to any Anime/Manga fans and if you show it to your rockers you can introduce them to Japan’s Rock Scene.  Can’t wait for more from this band and go to their website to purchase their debut album Tokyo Status at this link http://lolitadark.com/merch/ .
