^Even though a lot of things annoy me about that performance, I can't help but smile in the end. It's simply too enjoyable to nitpick about the random amplifier cabinets and the way the guitarists move around, etc.

Tower Records in Shibuya, Tokyo:



I thought BABYMETAL would be an obscure unit, but I was wrong. They had big displays in pretty much every record (and idol) store I walked into. Posters, TV with the PV playing and a station where you could listen to their singles. The TV screen on the outside of Tower records also had Headbanger! on rotation at full blast! I definitely did not expect this kind of exposure for a unit like this. Japan is awesome.  :lol:

Babymetal pic-spam:





MoaMetal really won me over. I thought everybody's favorite would be SuuMetal, but her minions are quite popular as well!

Correct! Excellent review  :thumbup

Quote
t was announced then that scarlet knight SU-METAL had stood up to save those fallen two from the dark side. She appeared on stage and performed new solo song. Her high singing voice sounded so good accompanied by the beautiful melody of the piano, speedy sounds of the guitar in the melodic speed metal song. Everyone at the venue was intoxicated with her voice. The audience sent her huge applauses when she left the stage.

This. Best performance ever. Seriously. I can't wait to have this on CD (or Blu-Ray please).

Also, lmao at MoaMetal's English phrase. Textbook English  :lol:

^Oh wow, it sounds like they actually re-recorded the guitars on the intro solo! It sounds more lively than when they used Ijime in that old 'First Heavy Metal" promo video.  :thumbup It's attention to details like that makes them a pro group with quality releases.

Can't wait for this! *Kitsune pose*

edit: ooh, official YT channel? --> http://www.youtube.com/user/BABYMETALofficial?feature=watch

Random thoughts:

- I think I heard Maliciel yelling Suuchan in the beginning :V
- I read they performed the new single too, but I guess they cut it from the video so people are more likely to pre-order the single.
- Crowd is a lot bigger than I expected  :thumbup
- Definitely more idol fans than metal fans, which is to be expected at a convention like this. I think there were more glow sticks than at the Shibuya lives.
- That Headbanger perf was pretty intense  XD
- The transition from "Singaporu~" to that metal part was funny.
- Translated VTRs are a nice touch, but in the video they didn't show any of the really funny ones they did with their own one man live.

Stalker vid  :lol:

That Singapore concert looked absolutely incredible!
So jealous of those who got to go!
