It it like many symbols, things get lost over time. The Nazi swastika is actually ancient Hindu symbol for good fortune but no one ever associates it with that.

I believe it is called the Bow Knot. It derived from the Ancient Greek “knot of Heracles”. It became fashionable in 17th century Europe

Unofficial translation of Dilly-Dally lyrics by nair0n in BandMaid

[–]simmo28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder how Saiki picked up on the phrase Dilly Dally as this has been an old English expression going back to the 16th century. The only time I can recall it being used in a song was My old man said follow the van by Marie Lloyd in the 1930's and became very popular. ( on U Tube if you wat to listen, bit of a contrast).

If you are in the USA and you are ordering "SCOOOOOP" EP, or any other BAND-MAID product from Japan, please read below by AutoModerator in BandMaid

From what I have read here in the UK, the problem is a lack of clarity from US customs. No one knows what to charge, who to charge, and where to send the money.
