    The main driving force in the evolution of their music/sound was simply the age of the girls. This is a poppy song for pre-teen girls, about getting up and rushing to get ready for school and speculating on what exciting things will happen that day. Now their sound and lyrics are more mature and relate to things people in their early 20s might be thinking about, deeper ideas about identity and how one fits into this world, each stage of their evolution follows this pattern, I guess this comes from the freedom of having their own genre rather than having to follow current trends as other genres tend to

    The song you are looking for is Megitsune, watch the original music video. It was recorded in 2013, in the same period of this concert, I believe, when Sumetal was still 15 (she was born in december 1997) and the other girls 14 (both were born in the first half of 1999).

    Metal wasn't anything new in Japan, but they were trying to introduce Metal to people who wouldn't typically listen to Metal, particularly younger people. This song is about getting ready for school. Most of their earliest songs were written to appeal to young women like them. They've always had poppier offerings on their albums, and heavier ones. Each album has a certain range. This song, Gimme Chocolate, and Iine lean into the cute, and the pop and metal (and in the case of Iine - Hip Hop) parts are more distinct. But songs like Karate, Rondo, and Headbanger show they figured out the winning formula early and leaned into it. None of them sound out of place with their newer stuff when they perform them live these days. Megitsune is a fan favorite for good reason. There are plenty of songs on the first album that already stand the test of time. Of course, there were years between Doki Doki and the release of their first album, and I wouldn't say there were growing pains, but you could tell what they were going for with the very first songs, can see the experimentation, and then you see them figure out the formula all on the same album.
    Gimme Chocolate was the first song I heard and the one that made me fall in love, but it was the concept I was smitten with, and I appreciate their heavier songs more. I love Doki Doki and Iine because I love BabyMetal, and I'm not putting them on a playlist, but I never pass up an opportunity to watch reactions because all BabyMetal brings me joy. But they are def songs most people don't appreciate unless they're already a fan, so I'm glad they weren't your fist exposure. It's easier to appreciate them in hindsight.
    If you want to hear Su sing, Rondo of Nightmare is a good one, but it's perhaps their darkest song thematically. Catch Me If You Can and Ijime, Dame, Zettai have just the right balance of cute and heavy, imo. The sound grows with the girls, but there's still much goodness right from the beginning. 🤘🦊🤘

    Your reaction is fine. It's honest, fair and understandable given you only have limited context. But context is important.
    There may be a good reasons why their first 2 singles (Doki Doki morning and Iine) where very kawaii. To subvert expectations, to make people think they were a bit of a one trick pony, a bit of a gimmick. But they were far from it.
    When their first album came out the first track on it was 'Babymetal Death'. It blew everyone's expectitions clean out of the water. Babymetal death is a brutally heavy track and Rondo of Nightmare wasn't kawaii at all. Their first album is a milestone in metal, even if the metal media doesn't fully recognize it as such yet.
    Koba knows how to plan in advance, pace things and play with expectations. And he always delivers.

    Not their first performance of this song live . There first performance was at an SG concert. Su had a great voice even then she is just singing in a cute voice for song should see her perform other songs at that show including a solo cover of White Love (angel of death version ) or Akatsuki around 16 years old or younger you be supprised . Su has been singing live in public since around 6 years old 😁

    Nice vinyl, I got the same (+ several others xD).
    You got a few History facts wrong. Su pretty much sang live from the get go. I think you got that fact confused with the live band. They couldn't afford a live band early on and just like this video shows: those are Babybones (actors in skeleton costumes fake playing the instrument as the music is on a backing track).
    That's also probably why you felt a little downgrade in quality, because Doki Doki Morning when played live actually slaps way harder than this. But other than that pretty much nailed it. Doki Doki Morning is their first ever title from 2010 or 2011 (I can never remember when). Their songs prior to their first self-titled album in 2014 were all singles on Sakura Gakuin albums. But I won't annoy you with Sakura Gakuin stuff as it's going deep. Maybe would be good to consider reacting to one of the well-made 'Who is BABYMETAL" guides on CZcams (people love watching reactions to those).

    They adjust the pop and metal dials a lot. There are songs that lean even harder into pop than this. But for their concerts it really works...they'll play something dark and serious, and then bring the room back up with something like this just for variety.

    Just so you understand, this came out a few years after the studio version. In fact, they weren't even called BABYMETAL back then. The 3 were in a sub unit of Sakura Gakuin called the Heavy Music Club. The idea of a BABYMETAL band had never even been thought of. It wasn't until well after the original video went viral in the US & the UK that the idea started to become a reality. And the Japanese have been fusing pop & metal together for at least 30+ years, mainly in anime.

      When Moa, one of the dancers, was.told.they would be part of the heavy music club she thought they would be performing with weights on their clothes.
      I think you misread the lip syncing thing. You can see from the first time they performed this song live( there is a video) that she was singing live. What w
      You probably mean is that they weren't performing to a live band they were doing Karaoke..they were definitely singing live.
      AR first they were a part of a larger girl idol group Sakura Gakuin. That was a school themed idol group that you graduated from in 9th grade.
      I love this song.Its completely unique. I've never seen or heard anything like it before. I get that the poppiness isn't for you but I think the elements of cute and metal are so contrasting that it spells out who the band is.
      One thing that strikes me about a lot of their early music is how bizarre it is.The songwriting uses chants and other devices that push the listener to say, " What the hell is this" Doki Doki Morning is just an example.. before the song begins musically the spoken word chant is just inexplicable. This happens over and over again. It's something I've never heard before. It tests the listeners patience at times before going into something so well written that you have to like it.
      What gets me is the fearlessness of these girls. There is a short documentary about the girls performing at an anime convention in Singapore in 2012. They were just 12 and 13 at the time, they were playing to a.packed house of around 2500 people who were mostly from other parts of the world there for the convention. They usually played as part of a larger group of 12 girls bur they were here playing alone in a foreign country. They didn't know how people would react. About a minute before they go on the camera gets a close up of the girls and they are terrified. You can see from their faces how scared they are. But by this time at 12 years old they are all seasoned professionals as odd as that sounds. Su has been singing professionally for 5 years the girls have been dancing for years. Anyway they go out and kill. When they hit the stage their muscle memory takes over and the fans go crazy. The girls.have a lot of fun. Ithink this must have been the thing that made amuse get them a live band. The genius of Kobametal was that he didn't muck around with his choice of musicians. Somehow he went out and got what had to be one of the finest backup bands in the world. These guys were seriously great. For example, the guitarist Mikio was a teacher at Guitar Institute Japan who had written more than a dozen books on improvisation. I could go on about each of them but you will see.

    _Rin rin rin!_ 🦊🤘⏰
    This is the song where everything started and you'll see in the official MV they look even younger than this live version without the Kami Band yet.
    You got a lot of questions so maybe it's time for "The Not So Extensive Guide To BabyMetal" by A Fox Song. But meanwhile I'm gonna try to clear some of your questions.
    - SuMetal barely does lip syncing, in any case she got background vocals and she's really bad doing that.
    - They're not the first metal band who crossed the boundaries reaching international success, X-Japan (a visual key band) was one of the first, and they were really huge locally unlike BabyMetal who reached international success but no a massive success in their own country like certain Jpop groups, they're getting more and more attention throughout the years but not at the same level like Jpop artists.
    BabyMetal pays homage to X-Japan in some of their early era songs such Akatsuki and No Rain No Rainbow, and also with the lyrics of Headbanger!!
    Another J-metal band who inspired KobaMetal the creator and he pays heavy tribute with the lore is Seikima-II, both are legendary bands in Japanese music scene way back before BM, but BM with the new sound open/kick the door internationally for all of those new J-metal and J-rock bands you will know and get suggestions to meet.
    - SuMetal is a versatile singer, so don't get fooled by just a couple of songs, she got a more high-pitched voice and piercing vocals when she was younger but now she got a more variety of vocal techniques when singing.
    - The song the made them blew up all over internet becoming viral is Gimme Chocolate!! but they got a lot of songs from early era way better and becoming fans favorite super fast:
    - Ijime, Dame, Zettai
    - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!
    - Megitsune
    - Rondo Of Nightmare
    - Akatsuki
    - Road Of Resistance
    - Karate
    And many more songs, some of them (like this one) just with pure fun, some more darker and heavy, some more cutesy or in between with the perfect blend such Catch Me If You Can.
    Now that we're talking about some shocking songs, it's time for you to meet:
    - Babymetal Death live at Legend 1997 (2013), i think you're ready for this one but just remember that we're NotACult 👀
    Congrats for your new BM merch.
    See you next time 🦊🤘🔥

    Great reaction! I apprecaite your honesty and respect, regardless if you enjoyed something or not, so pay no heed to some of the less kind comments 🙂. Also, awesome vinyl, I bet you guys are excited to start that collection!
    Following up on your commentary:
    They were part Sakura Gakuin (SG), a school themed idol group for girls 10-15, with various "clubs" for different types of music. Think of it as a "trade school" for adolescent girls that aspire to be future singers, dancers, models, actresses, etc. (they still went to a normal school). Producer Kobametal was an avid metal head stuck in the idol industry, so he wanted to combine the two, thus creating the "heavy music club" in SG with Su, Yui, and Moa, that became Babymetal.
    This was their very first song, and originally recorded and debuted live at the end of 2010 (age 12/11) as part of the SG debut concert. Su "graduated" in 2013, and Babymetal split off as its own thing starting then.
    Your assessment of adjusting their sound is correct, their first album has some of their heaviest songs too (cough, BABYMETAL DEATH from Legend 1997 show). But yes, Doki Doki Morning definitely captures the cutsiness of them as kids and the heaviness of metal. It's like you were trying to summon a demon, but used sugar instead of salt on accident, and got Babymetal...."I ain't even mad". 😂
    Su definitely sang live, but she did have heaver backing tracks of her vocals to harmonize with early on. As time went on, she used that less, to almost non-existent now. She will still lip-sync on certain occasions (e.g., vocal segment with heavy effects or an occasional harsh scream that's tracked). The backing vocals's track usage increased a bit more as time went on. Especially after Yui left, and it was just Moa doing both their parts, but they still do most of their parts live. You'll notice when they are tracked, because they don't pretend to sing (mouths not moving).
    Look forward to more Babymetal! 🤘🦊

    Japan has had a long history of metal. There are even several sub genres of metal that are native to Japan, such as Visual Kei. Japan's most famous metal band (prior to Babymetal anyway) was "X Japan", who are one of Babymetal's big artistic influences.
    Doki Doki Morning is very much a prototype of them figuring out what this whole "kawaii metal" thing was supposed to sound like. I would be interested to see how you would react to "iine", as it is similarly raw in it's contrast between the pop and metal elements, whereas in the later songs the elements are much better integrated. It really only took them a few songs to get the sound they were looking for. Headbangerrr! is probably the song where they really pinned down the sound, so I'd recommend checking that out next.
    Doki Doki Morning is a fan favourite because of it's importance in Babymetal history. They didn't play it live for a long time until January 2023 at Babymetal Returns, when they did a very special performance of it. If you get a chance, have a watch of the 2023 performance as you get to hear Su-metal sing it in her mature voice.
    A lot of the oldest songs seem to be unofficially retired from the setlist, but they bring one out sometimes for special occasions, such as the January 2023 show, which was their return from hiatus.

    Idol culture dominated Japanese pop music for decades.
    Babymetal could go all the way to heavy metal if course, but it would definitely push Japanese audiences away, almost guaranteed. I personally believe that their producer did foreshadowing heavy metal little by little to test the market.
    I am 54 yo Asian. Any rock band wants to survive, they have to play soft, and the song really sale and popular always the ballad with beats.

    I think they were really trying to make it more appropriate to the girls ages. So it is pop/metal about things that young girls would be interested in. This is the most poppy/young song because they were young and more familiar with pop and just getting used to how to actually craft their unique sound. As mentioned even on their first album there are much harder songs. You have listened to Megitsune already and that was off the first album also. On the first album you get poppy stuff like DDM and Gimme Chocolate and also hard stuff like Headbanger and Megitsune.

    @Grington300 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Listen to the song a couple more times, you will realise it actually is amazing (it may still not be your thing of course, but that's fine too), it just caught you by surprise since they were not blending the metal and the pop, they were smashing them against each other ... and that was deliberate (they did the same with 'Gimme Chocolate' which was the song that went viral because of the WTF reactions it got (and still gets)).
    I don't know who told you most of that nonsense at the start, but most of it was wrong. They formed in 2010 as a sub-unit of a JPop Idol group called Sakura Gakuin. SG was formed by the Amuse Talent Agency to provide experience, coach and train about a dozen of the most talented girls aged 10 to 15 on their books in all aspects of entertainment (singing, dancing, acting, modelling, writing, stage management, TV presentation etc) with a view to the girls finding what they were best at and liked best so they could choose what direction to take for their careers when they left school (at 15 in Japan).
    SG had a school theme, so the girls all performed songs and dances at their own shows and at Idol festivals as a whole group, but they also had sub-units (2, 3 or maybe more of the girls in each one) with after school club themes (eg cooking club, science club, reporters club, tennis club) just like a real school would have after school clubs for kids interested in the different things.
    Those clubs would have their own themed songs and dances that they would also perform during the SG shows.
    The Heavy Music Club performed under the name BABYMETAL. It was formed around Su-metal's vocal talents, she was singing live right from the start (maybe apart from couple of the very early SG shows), likewise Yuimetal and Moametal were singing live a lot earlier than many people believe or give them credit for.
    As part of SG each sub-unit and the group as a whole would produce songs that would be included in the SG album released at the end of the school year. 'Doki Doki Morning' was BABYMETAL's first contribution.
    BABYMETAL continued as a sub-unit of SG from 2010 through to 2013, after Su-metal's 15th birthday. At 15 she graduated (same as she did from her real school), but BABYMETAL had found their own audience that nobody believed would exist when they were formed and they had become popular in their own right, so it was decided that when Su-metal graduated BABYMETAL should separate with her to become an independent band in their own right and Amuse finally started to provide them with the funding to get a live band in to support them. Up until then they had been singing and dancing to pre-recorded instrumentals and the Babybones guys in their skeleton suits would be on stage pretending to play (just for show, everybody knew they weren't playing).
    So from October 2012, in advance of the split, the Kami Band started to play the encores in a few shows and to support BABYMETAL at a couple of festivals and after the separation was completed they became the full time support for all live shows - BABYMETAL released their first album at the end of February 2014 (which included the songs they had made as part of SG plus some new songs of their own).
    On 1st and 2nd March 2014 BABYMETAL played two concerts at The Budokan in Tokyo for the official release of the first album and it was at these shows that the Kami Band became their full time live supporting band.
    Doki doki is onomatopoeic for a fast or excited heart beat. The song is about a girl waking up late and rushing to get ready for an exciting day at school with her friends. Su-metal's adjusted her vocals to fit the song (she had "found her voice" several years before when she was attending the Actors School Hiroshima) and even when they have played it in more recent years Moa has said about how good she is at imitating her cutesy voice self from when they first recorded this song.
    The second song they ever performed live was 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai'. That is a straight power metal song ... they were not just experimenting trying to find what worked, Kobametal their producer knew exactly what he was doing right from the start - with 'Doki Doki Morning' and 'Iine' being the first two songs they actually recorded and released he was establishing that they were not going to be pigeonholed, labelled as just one thing or restricted to a single genre.

  • @adrianlopez2951

    The only time Su lip-syncs is at the beginning when she yells. That's pre-recorded yelling at the top of her lungs and so she lip-syncs it to not blow her voice at the start. She'll lip-sync other minor onomatopoeia words too. They're from Sakura Gakuin so singing and dancing live is their bread and butter. They had three singles which were released under Sakura Gakuin albums or as B-sides. They didn't get a record deal, they started a record label call BMD Fox Records but still under Amuse Inc. and released their singles then albums there. Yui and Moa just turned 11 and Su was 12 going on 13 when they started and recorded their first song.

    They're debuting as BABYMETAL to introduce the Kawaii-Metal genre or Cute metal. Their music since then still adopting to those concept, however the "cute" part also growing as their aged. From cute little kids to cute as more mature beautiful ladies. One of their purpose of the kawaii-metal is to attract broader demographic to like the metal genre, kinda like make it as an easier pill to swallow for anyone who just come across metal music or for introducing the genre to someone who's unfamiliar with the metal genre. This is proven to their fanbase demographic whose come to their concert are not only the metal heads but often you'll find families with their kids, teenagers and more womens.

    Very cool!!!
    Japan has a legendary band that started in 1982 and played mainly power and speed metal (X-Japan). The band broke up and reunited years later for their "last performance". Babymetal uses "X" a lot in choreography, and has placed a large gong on stage several times to end songs or shows. They also end the shows with "we are... Babymetal!", like X-Japan did. I don't think it's a mere coincidence, I think it's a bow to the giant X-Japan...
    This song, "Doki Doki Morning" is the first single, started recording in October 2010 (Su was 12 years old - almost 13, Yui and Moa were 11 years old)... The producer/mentor (Kobametal) of the project chose a very interesting pop song mixed with metal.

    Regarding the stamina thing, the first two albums had two songs each that were Su-mrtal solos (Akatsuki, Rhondo of Nightmares, then Amore, No Rain No Rainbows) and two each that are Moa and Yui (known as Black Babymetal, super-cute with ultra heavy instrumental, Onedari Daisakusen, Song 4 then Sis Anger and GJ). Along with the Kami Band solos (you'll love those...) this gave each of them a chance to have a break while those songs were sung; e.g. Yui and Moa had a rest while Su sang Akatsuki, Su rested during Song 4. Another elegant answer to a problem, typical of Babymetal and how everything seems so carefully put together.

They are Japanese and Koba is a Zen Master and their Path has not solely been driven by commerical success other than in the early days he needed funds to get them/keep them going
    And double please, no more references to Anime. Yes, in the very start was some small cross-over w/ anime, but such a small part as to not be relevant.

    The music video for this song is the most adorable thing i think ive ever seen.
    PS yes babymetal is one of the founders of this genre. There was some influences tho... Maximum the hormone is one of the OG metal gods of japan. And worth hearing. Extremely wild. They are like the System of a down of Japan.

    Suzuka Nakamoto has a very long career in the entertainment scene.
    She started modeling at the age of three. At the age of four, she became an image girl for Bandai's children's cosmetics. (Bandai is one of the world's leading toy manufacturers, such as selling Gundam plastic models.)
    And she made her major debut as a singer by the largest listed entertainment company in Japan when she was only 10 years old.😍

    Heavy Metal in Japan started out in the late 1970s. There were Japanese female metal bands starting out years before any American female metal bands broke out. And no, The Runaways were not metal. One such female band, Show-Ya were founded in 1981 are still performing to this today. So is another from 1984, Valkyrie if you like Thrash Metal.
    There are other legendary male metal bands such as Loudness which was the first to sign to an American label, had an album and singles chart on Bilboard in 1986. They also had MV plays on MTV. Another is X Japan, one of the pioneers of the Visual Kei genre. Babymetal often pays homage to them and their founder, drummer Yoshiki who wore a neck brace during concerts. You can see the neck brace being worn in a number of Babymetal MV and performances.

    As far as I know their popularity in Japan soared after Sonisphere 2014. Doki doki morning was mild success in Japan. Japanese like to identify with western culture as far as some music goes. The more popular they became in the west the more the Japanese took to them.

    I *kind of* agree that Su hadn't "found her voice yet." She could already sing way better than it seems from this song, if you watch some of her Hiroshima videos. But I think it took a few songs for her to find her "metal voice."

  • @paulog2162
    @paulog2162 Před 3 měsíci

    They were 11 and 12 when they recorded this song there is not much they can do not sound cute and their songs were about things related to kids, when they release the first album a few years later they already mature a few years so the songs were a little on the heavier side, something a teenager would feel related too, so Babymetal sound was based on the girls age.

    Su has matured as a vocalist but she NEVER had to “find” her voice. Many on here got it wrong Doki Doki Morning was their 1st released song. They 1st recorded Ijime Dame Zettai. Kobe though thought it wise to not drop a more straight up metal banger as their 1st release. It was also less in line with SG. Go watch the Ijime Dame Zettai performance the next year at their 1st big gig outside Asia at Sonisphere 2014 (UK metal festival). You will see Su sing great in IDZ, Megitsune, Rondo of Nightmare etc. Japan also has a long tradition of metal Loudness and X-Japan had decades before seen international success. No shade on your guys but you are just talking outside your lane as far as knowledge on the bands origins.

    There are other early Doki Doki Morning, please check them out. Also look up the lyrics, you get even more from the songs/performance. (Please research Sakura Gakuin, seems you do not know the very beginning- don't want you to miss anything important).
    React to Mari Hamada, she is the metal queen of the 80's. Blue Revolution. (If you never heard of Mari Hamada, you are missing out a lot!)
    Metal was around for a long time in Japan. Show-Ya, X Japan, Loudness. Long list of metal groups.

    Considering it was first on the album by their idol group Sakura Gakuin it's understandable that it has a more pop sound. Though listening to that album this song is a big shock and a very loud sound. I wonder if you'll go down the SG rabbit hole too one day? If you do, My Graduation Toss is a great place for you to start.

    I'm not correcting at all. But history is the key. Step into the way back machine. Sakura Gakuin was the "school" for these talented young ladies. Young talented Japanese girls were trained for kawaii (cute) dance and music.

    In Japanese idol culture, the fusion of HR/HM and J-Pop had been done before BM, but BM was the first time it was done with full-fledged HM.
    The songs of BM in the early days were HM in sound, but the rest of the songs were the very essence of Japanese idol culture.
    This is especially true for the audience's 合いの手(A-i-no-te=chiming in), pretty dancing, and singing.
    There is a video of Martin Friedman, formerly of Megadeth, who moved to Japan, explaining the songs of Japanese idols, but I don't know if it is translated into English.
    I may not be able to explain it well in English, so if you are interested, please look it up.☺️

    Babymetal origins is quite deep and kinda hard to explain. I definitely would suggest watching a guide video.
    But to summarize a bit, Babymetal started as a sub-unit of an school themed "Idol group" (a subgenre/subculture of J-Pop) called "Sakura Gakuin". Babymetal was created around Su-Metal by a producer named "Koba". The idea stroke Koba when he heard Su-Metal performing around the age of 10. Su-Metal's vocal has been essential since day 1.
    This song was their first song and was released in Sakura Gakuin's 1st album as well as a single in 2011. That's why the song has more Pop sound since it is where they started.
    Their second song called "Iine" (capital 'i', not Line), is released in Sakura Gakuin's 2nd album in 2012.
    Their 3rd song is "Headbanger" and was released in Sakura Gakuin's 3rd album in 2013 as well as a single. And Babymetal 1st solo show was held to commemorate the release. Up until then, they've only performed under Sakura Gakuin's activities.
    In March 2013, Babymetal became independent after Su-Metal "graduates" (leave) Sakura Gakuin due to the group's system of 'graduation' after the member finish their 3rd year of middle school. At 1st, people thought that Babymetal would end when she graduates from Sakura Gakuin, but Su-Metal chooses to continue doing Babymetal. The other 2 member, Yuimetal and Moametal continue doing both Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal activities until their graduation in March 2015.
    About the lip-syncing thing, Su-Metal always sings live. But early on, they sing live over a full backtrack since that's how idol group mostly performs. Thus, it can be seen as lip-syncing. For their solo shows, they don't have budgets to hire proper band early on so they sing over instrumental backtrack.
    Again, the origin of Babymetal is very deep. I discoverd Babymetal, then I discovered Sakura Gakuin through them and now in love with both. 😄
    Definitely suggest watching a guide video, either as a reaction or personal watch.
    Anyway, if you want to explore Babymetal music chronogically, here's some rough list based on single release:
    1st song - "Doki Doki Morning" (2011)
    2nd song - "Iine" (capital 'i'. Not Line) (2012)
    3rd song - "Headbanger" (2013)
    4th song - "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (2013)
    5th song - "Megitsune" (2013)
    Around this time, they already been performing songs like "Akatsuki", "Uki Uki Midnight" which later released in their 1st album in 2014.

    Babymetal has always evolved and changed, even within the same album there are so many different versions of them. But this and the song Awadama Fever are probably the most "childish" and poppy.

    I can definitely see where you're coming from. I too was introduced to Babymetal with more mature material. Though in Rondo of a Nightmare Su I believe was still 16 or 17. But now so enamored with the new material I can really enjoy their whole catalog as steps on an amazing journey. And I mean they are so adorable in this and they're still driving a pretty substantial crowd wild! Keep up the good work.

    You should react to their most recent performance of this in 2023 with the brand new group called Metalverse performing on a second stage alongside Babymetal (for years they put this ong on the shelf but brought it back to help introduce their spinoff group Metalverse). It is definitely worth a look.
    The lead singer and backup singer/dancers for Metalverse (except one) are graduates of Sakura Gakuin as were Suzuka Moa Yui and Momoko.

    You need to stop speaking every single though and learn a little. The originated within a larger J-pop idol group formed by girls between 10 and 15 called Sakura Gakuin. And this was their first song ever. Actually, the song is crazy metal for this context.
    Su-metal always sings it in a kawaii way. Today, she even imitates her younger self on purpose. I've experienced this song live earlier this year and it's 🔥🔥🔥 and fans love it.

    Sorry, but this is the only version of BABYMETAL I like. Once they grew up and got out of the cute stuff, I no longer was interested. THIS was the product that got them noticed and then they largely abandoned it. It's not "WomanMetal", it's "BABYMetal". Basically, the product dies with Yui Mizuno leaving in 2018. There is no sign that "kawaiimetal" is going to flourish, either, despite claims to the contrary. There are some similar acts but nothing truly like this and the concept is more likely to fade out of popularity a s a "gimmick", which the Japanese music industry is famous for.
