TheSlash 14,539 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 "Who is BABYMETAL?" you might ask. Well, it is a Japanese band currently consisting of lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto ( also called Su-Metal ) and supporting singer ( occasionally also lead singer ) Moa Kikuchi (Moa-Metal). Yui Mizumi (Yui-Metal) is a former member of the band and was also a supporting singer. The band originates from the Japanese TV show "Sakura Gakuin", which is kind of a "talent pool", where young Japanese kids in junior high school from ages 11 to 15 can do their first steps into a career in entertainment business. The show is set up as a school setting, with the "students" being in different clubs. One of the clubs was a "Heavy Music club", which would eventually form BABYMETAL. The core idea of the band is to combine elements of J-Pop ( dance choreos, "cheesy" and uplifting lyrics, the general "Idol" appeal) with various kinds of Metal music. In 2012, their first single "ドキドキ☆モーニング" ("Doki Doki☆Morning" - literally "heartbeat morning" ) was released, which now (as of April 2020) gathered more than 25 million views: Since then, they released 3 studio albums - their debut "BABYMETAL" (2014), "Metal Resistance" (2016) and "Metal Galaxy" (2019) - and went on several world tours. Before Yui-Metal's departure from the band in 2017 due to health issues, she and Moa-Metal also formed a sub-group called "Black Babymetal" where only the two tried on incorporating rap music. On of the songs is "Onedari Daisakusen": ( It's literally a song about them begging their dad for money bc their mother wouldn't allow it ) One of their "poppiest" songs to date might be "iine" ( pronounce it like "ee-neh" ) which incorporates club music, rap music and a bit of Thrash Metal during its breakdown: Finally, listen to all 3 of their albums on Spotify below: Spoiler BABYMETAL https://open.spotify.com/album/1xiefq6yW6cxQFO2Dki2az Metal Resistance https://open.spotify.com/album/2Xzz2rVZIwoJr1S3btHPho Metal Galaxy https://open.spotify.com/album/14QR6tvU2iCarf6Qwosadb If you already know them and like what they do: Share your opinion and how you got into their music .

RAMROD 104,512 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Their shows supposed to be one of the few concerts I was gonna attend to, but Miss Ronna ruined that. The song that got me into them was this A deep cut, I know. But it is great! The lyrics was actually innocent, but it can be used for adult too. #PourMeSomeCandyDaddy (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚘 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚎 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
