Only BABYMETAL can go so HARD about fruit.  Or chocolate.

BABYMETAL is the most unique metal experience in the world right now coming from Japan 🇯🇵. Not only their appearances, their style, and everything that surrounds them visually and backing Babymetal for live shows are an incredible band "The Kami Band". They’re so passionate about metal but music in general they know everything about the metal music discography after watching Metallica perform on stage. Babymetal created a new sub genre of metal call "Kawaii Metal" or Cute Metal. Babymetal created a very special feeling, and experience within the entire metal community. They work extremely hard to create something unique for every community ranging from the young, teenagers, middle age to old school metalheads. Babymetal may not be on everyone's metier but if you don't like it's ok. Babymetal paves the way for other Japanese 🇯🇵 bands to be recognized worldwide. BABYMETAL original trio comprises of Suzuka Sakamoto aka Su-Metal, Moa Kikuchi aka Moametal and Yui Mizuno aka Yuimetal. Yui Mizuno left BABYMETAL in 2018 cited health issues", Momoko Okazaki aka Momometal officially became Babymetal third core member in April 2023. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.

They are in Paris next year in May (ah... You already checked 😁

Welcome! Babymetal's catalogue is truly worth to check out. These girls have been in the industry for 14 years now and yet they're still relevant. For more babymetal suggestions:
- Monochrome Live at PIA Arena 2023
- Road of Resistance Live in Japan 2015

You wanna be in the crowd? They're doing a European arena tour next year. I dont know which location is closest to you, but they are doing Paris.

Their live performances are best.  And yes, they do actually perform it live.

BABYMETAL started about 14 years ago when the girls were just 10 - 12 years old. The level of talent and professionalism is over the top.
I suggest BABYMETAL - ROAD OF RESISTANCE, Live in Japan, as it really showcases their crowd control and stage presence.
Kitsune dao!

Great double reaction and welcome to BABYMETAL!
As you know, they are performing at Zénith Paris - La Villette, Paris on May 28th, 2025.
Well, I wouldn't say they are mainstream, just because metal isn't and even less a niche subgenre such kawaii metal which they invented. But they are moderately big globally.
They were formed in 2010 (14 years ago) as a sub-unit of a larger j-pop idol group called Sakura Gakuin and split of SG in early 2013. They were 12 and 11 years old at the time.
No, they don't make music for any anime (although they made the opening for the occidental cartoon "Unikitty!"). The lead singer, Suzuka Nakamoto, was in a girl group formed to sing songs for an anime called "Zettai Karen Children" (Psychic Squad)... when she was 10 years old.

BABYMETAL are:
- Suzuka Nakamoto as SU-METAL (lead singer).
- Moa Kikuchi as MOAMETAL (backing vocals and dance).
- Momoko Okazaki as MOMOMETAL (backing vocals and dance). Official member since April 2023 after being one of their three backup dancers (Avengers) since 2019.
Former member:
- Yui Mizuno as YUIMETAL (backing vocals and dance). She left officially in 2018 after not performing since October 2017 due to health issues. With Suzuka and Moa she was one of the three OG members since their origins in 2010.

They are backed by a group of session musicians (the best of the best) called Kami Band depicting the "gods" or "spirits" of each instrument. Initially, they wore traditional burial white robes and face paint. In 2018, they changed to darker robes and since 2019 they wear masks (as you see her in both videos).

The name, BABYMETAL, was chosen for two main reasons:
- To symbolize that they gave birth to a new genre of metal music (kawaii metal).
- Because the writing (and pronunciation) in Japanese is very similar to the writing of "heavy metal" (and they love puns):
BABYMETAL = ベビメタル (be-bi-me-ta-ru)
heavy metal  = ヘビメタル (he-bi-me-ta-ru)

Their live shows are considered their "core business" and they even called their studio albums "business cards". Some of their music videos are worth to watch like "Megitsune" or "Karate".
They are very diverse musically since they don't hesitate on blending any music genre with metal and they are highly unpredictable. So always expect the unexpected.
Enjoy our BABYMETAL journey!  😁

Nice reaction. Babymetal started young. Understatement. They started veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyy young. Su-metal the lead singer started her professional career around 8 in a group called Karen Girls. The did the songs for the anime Karen Girls. When that ended, she joined Sakura Gakuin an all girls JPOP group based on school life. Which had subgroups one of which was the heavy music club. This is where she met Yuimetal and Moametal. the other two original members of Babymetal. The heavy music club would become Babymetal. This was when Su was about 12 and Yui and Moa were around 10. Yui would officially leave Babymetal in 2018 but stopped performing with them in 2017 due to health reasons. After years of going as a duo Babymetal finally went back to a trio adding in Momoko a former backup dancer for them. Now known as Momometal. That is as brief as it gets when it comes to their history. Musically, you're in for a real treat. Kawaii Metal which started with them. Is Jpop vocals on top with a metal base and just about whatever genre they think of in-between. How they manage to make it work is a mystery until this day. IMO it's mostly Su's in measurable talent level with the numerous skills she has added along the way. And Moa just being Moa. Keep watching and you'll soon learn what that means. Enjoy the journey through the Foxhole and into the Babymetal galaxy of music.
