History & Biography Lipstick has been active around Tokyo, Japan since 2012. The members were in high school. The band has not had a stable of stable vocalists in the intervening time. GV-Records (Good Vibration) issued the modestly titled Killer Tunes in 2014. An EP entitled Horoscope followed in the autumn of 2014. The band contributed to the music of a film. X-Sense came in the spring of 2016 and only Sally and Syun had survived the intervening months. Full Throttle followed two years later. This featured singer Sindy who would soon decamp to Nemophila, which was apparently a surprise to the rest of the band. She had been in Lipstick from December 2016 to April 2019. The members came across both glammy and dangerous with Syun, in particular, looking like a member of a gang of Mad Max era hoodlums-gone-visual kei.
The Live album ぶちかませ - Over Heat – (roughly ‘hard hitting – over heat’) was recorded at multiple shows. To celebrate Sally's Bithday the band organized a concert and used Nico former singer of Fate Gear. Maria and Bloody Sword were 2019 EPs. The former was released in April and the latter in October. The group appeared in London, England at Metal Matsuri and issued an EP called Hello UK!! exclusive to the show with re-recorded self-cover versions. Others at this show were Mary’s Blood, Fate Gear and Mardelas. Mary's Blood's guitarist would end up in Nemophila as well. The band played Loud Attack 2019 with Alice In Hell, Pornostate and others. The girls appeared at Mayo Fest a concert to celebrate the birthday of drummer Mayo of Azazel.
Misaki reported pain in her hand and had to pull back in late 2019 and early 2020. Sally joined a new project called Mellows in 2023.
The band often foregoes bullet belts in favour of lipstick belts.
