i was surprised at how polite and kind the interviewers are with the girls. they seem to be very respectful and grateful to be allowed to see and share lifestyles of gothic lolita! about ten years have passed since this small documentary was made, so i hope that every featured girl lives her dream now. i hope that Manamu finally got her passport, Aran is a popular artist now and Hiyoko (or Hiiko? there are two versions of the spelling of her name in subtitles) and her mother fulfilled their dream of opening a clothing store. and if they didn't, i hope that they are happy, no matter what they are doing now. this documentary shot me right in the heart, so i'm crying. it was wonderful to see and enjoy so many unique dresses, artworks and locations. Yhmar21hEiro, many thanks for uploading this video!

i wanna know how these people are doing 😭 did she become a painter? did she open a shop with her mom??? I NEED TO KNOW 🥺🥺

Interviewer: -mana sama who is this lady? lady: - mana sama doesn't speak in public so I translate srsly mana is so ICONIC it hurts

mana-sama.... he did not even say one single word and im in love with him, he looks so charming euh mah gawd D:

I love to see people pursue their dreams and passions. They truly are enjoying themselves no matter what people think. I got into punk in high school and had a blast making my own clothes and showng friends hot to put studs on, help dye our hair, sewing patches. the time of my life!

I remember watching this so long ago, and then for some reason it became region blocked for me for a long time. Now it isn't and I was finally able to watch again! it totally re-sparks my love for lolita! I wonder where some of these girls are now? They were all so sweet and talented I hope they achieved their dreams...

I WANT MY HOUSE TO LOOK LIKE THAT CAFE

This was really long ago, but I’d really like to see more of Arans art. Does anybody randomly know where I can find it?

Mana-sama is awesome. I love the fact that he is so into his character of a doll that he never talks, that takes real power of will. Talking is east, keeping quiet is not.

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS IN 2010 HOLY,, time flies

I know that this comment is reeeeeeeeeally old, but: 1) Mana-sama is a cross-dresser, meaning that he publicly dresses as a woman, specifically as a goth-lolita. He actually does the modeling campaigns for his firm Moi Meme Moitie (

It’s really nice to see how respectful the interviewers were! ❤️❤️

"She started to draw a picture ten years ago" ...and she still hasn't finished it?!

holy goddess, the Lolita clothes and aesthetic are so cute! I love the gothic-Lolita and pink-ama-Lolita, my favorite ones

Somehow this video made me happy... I really don't know why.

I actually clicked on this link cause it said Mana Sama interview. I was like: O___O don't tell me he speaks in it?!?!?!?! O_O But of course, once more, he used his telepathic powers and made a cute goth lolita girl into a mind slave. Uhhh Mana-sama, you never change.

I love Hiyoko’s and Arans art so much I wish there was some information about them there art is so beautiful and cool I hope they become artist and fashion designers ❤

Although I've heard that most lolita shops had shut down even before covid-19, at least lolita can continue through the internet.

You go Aran-chan!!!

Wow! Such great drawings :D and style!

I watch this every few months because it really fills me with wonder. *_* I think I started to imitate these girls a little.

This was awesome thank you And I love how strong willed these girls are. they truly embody themselves

Mana Sama is a beast! All he has to do is wave his hand in a regal fashion, and Beni automatically talks.

This video is so great! I wish there were more intensive fashion "worlds" here in the US aside from Hot Topic and urban wear... It's so much harder here to wear clothing that you like rather than what is appropriate for work and jeans and a t-shirt otherwise. Makes me think about this stuff around Halloween!

the moi meme moitie store was so beautiful! it’s a shame it’s no longer there mana is charming, beautiful and mysterious as always! the 2000s japan fashion and music scene…what a dream it’s refreshing to see the interviewers being respectful and engaged

not me being here in 2023 just to see mana sama for under a minute >:33

awww hiiko is so sweet

Hiyoko can draw really well! I'd love to run across her online gallery somewhere :D

な、懐かしい。生で番組見てました。また見れて良かったです。

Awesome,it inspired me to make my own Gothic Lolita clothes. :)

Does anyone know the name of that antique doll shop and whether it still exists? It looks amazing

You should check out the Gothic Lolita Bible magazine. They provide some sewing patterns, but remember large sizes are not the same as in America or England, they are way smaller. If I remember correctly a large is like a size 10 in the US. But you can always grade the patterns large or small.

Can someone please tell me in what year was this filmed? すみません、動画には何年前ですか

This documentary made me so happy ❤ hope this girls realized their dreams

魔名夢さん懐かしい！ そして金髪の甘ロリの子の絵が本当素敵💓

Those girls are very talented at their art. Love it.

thats amazing how you make your clothes ^-^ im still learning nd havent made anything good at all >.< how long did it take you to master sewing ?:3 i love looking like a lolita too x3 i think the dresses are really cute

うわぁ、旧マルイワンじゃん…！ クソ懐かしくて涙出てくるわ…ｗ

god i love this! :D I want more videos! xD

I know that sometimes it make's Mana look a little egotistical, but I kinda like that he dosn't really speak in public, you get most people that do so I like that it's a little different, also I really like looking at the girls that talk for him, they wear really nice outfits and their voices are nice too.

これ見たかった回だ！ これでゴスロリ大好きになりました この時のお嬢様は今どうしてるんだろうか…

although i respect all these people and their styles and creativity, mana's interview cracked me up

Goth! Goth! Loli! Loli!

great video. I enjoyed watching it

All these girls are so sweet! I wish I knew what they were doing now 🥺

If anybody is watching the anime "Another" the doll museum at 4:28 is almost a dead on replica, even showing of the 2 conjoined dolls at 4:42 no less. Very interesting!

the "lovvvviiing youuu" in the background was just amazing hahaha

You're a beautiful person for continuing to be yourself. :-)

Mana's such an enigma....I couldn't help but giggle at the whole not talking thing, but it's cool!! He's very graceful. Plus I want his gloves XD And...is it just me, or does he look a little bit like Jareth from Labyrinth? (In the most wonderful of ways....)

love the clothing im amazed at some of them the ones tht make their own is awsme now i wld like to make some

i loved it that at 8:28 No Pains No Gains started as a background song hahahaa! :))

The interviewer lady is BENI! I didn't even realize. Shes my favorite singer. >

The cafe looked so good I just found it permanently closed TT

Those girls do what they love, I respect them. They are so cool :) Even Mana's hand movements are awesome lol

Mana was at Sakura Con last year. I was so excited I just about swallowed my tongue.

I think I have a girl-crush on Hiyoko and Manamu~ They are both so cute in their own lolita styles!

Japan is an interesting country, I love the old and new culture at the same time, and it inspire me a lot =)

Yes, their still popular. It's also gaining popularity internationally.

That's probably the shortest interview I have ever seen (I did watch for mainly Mana afterall). But do people still live in Japan like that? I'd love to go shopping there

Mana is the last living piece of art.

Mana sama!!!*_* ahhh hes so awesome!!!

I can't wait to see Mana in april. Yay!

I would really love to know what some of these lolita's are up to now!! I really hope the artists found their footing in their work!

Interesting

Message from mana sama to girls who love gothic and lolita: this style is not influenced by fashion i hope it's your style, your way of life no matter what anyone tells you.i want you to love this world for all your life.

Anyone know where I can see Hiyoko’s artwork?

So sad. The video is not available in the United States. Anyone have a mirror link for this?

Oh my god, Mana's interview ahahahahaha!

最初の10人でてくるところのカフェの名前ってなんですか？

i was surprised to find out all of these girls are super talented!

These girls are cute AND talented!

In fact, he lives in a "kinda normal house" but inside is like a chaos of creation (music, designs,inspiracion of gothic themes,etc) I think his aura makes all the job...the mistery and all..

Mana has such presence....

currently he is in Moi dix mois, as leader and guitarist :3

I'm in love with the antique doll

@XTheWickedShadowX It depends on what their exact style is. The style is known as "gothic lolita", yes, but there are many lolitas. Some are sweet lolitas, others are white lolitas or black lolitas, gothic lolitas, classic lolitas and so on. It depends on the person how he/she would want to be.

can somebody list the songs featured in this video ? merci in advance ! ^_^

Hiiko has a Dir En Grey poster :D

Her art is very good.

8:07 i’d love to shop here oh my gosh. this is literally heaven !? but i can’t find stores like that where i live and it’s always hot here ㅠㅠ

ah, the days when it was cool to like kokusyoku sumire. you don't really seem to hear about them anymore.

Which year was this filmed??

@ShinjuHoshi Mana sama once said that he doesn't want to speak through his voice but through his music :3

HELP what is the song playing when we go take a look into Hiiko’s life?!?

Wow they are so talented

mana-sama's translator is soooo cute @_@

7:05 Loving you by IU Is playing in the background.

Now I really want to go to Japan!! :D

Interesting! Change my point of view about Lolita

Mana-sama is like a living doll * w * oh and also I want Hiiko and her mom to make me a loli dress

I love how at 5:46 This Is Halloween came on :D

Holy crap I forgot this video existed.

Omg, it's the return of the green cupcakes dress (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

Agreed. and i lol'd so hard at your comment. It's awesome

Ahh! That department store!!! So much prettiness. I must go to Japan.

Thank youuuu I fell in LOVE with Mana ^^.

5:30- dang! Ol' girl is an a real good artist!

Mana-sama is so coool!

I knew it was cool. But I I never knew it was THAT cool! *Q*

The good thing is that earlier I was planning on donating this 100 year old doll I have and since I didn't I get to keep it :)
