Common card · No. 316884

"Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem" is a song by Japanese artist Shigure Ui from her debut album The Rain Doesn't Stop Yet. Featuring vocals by Shigure in her nine-year-old schoolgirl persona and narration by Tamaki Inuyama, it was composed by D.watt and written by Maron, both members of IOSYS. It is musically a denpa song, having lyrics that playfully and comedically mock lolicons in a scenario of power reversal, which is a common storytelling trope borrowed from the lolicon subgenre. Though it was released in 2022, the song suddenly went viral in September 2023 after the release of its music video. Users on TikTok and other social media platforms posted their own dance videos and remixes. The song peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and otherwise charted in Japan on Billboard Japan, Oricon, and Count Down TV. Authors note its catchy tune combined with the video as significant contributors to its popularity. Because of the severity of its lyrics, it also amassed controversy online.
