Babymetal thread?

They've added a lot of dates for their 2015 touring. Is anyone going? If not, you can sulk with me about not going.

you know, i was a bit skeptical about giving BM a listen a few years ago, until i figured out they did a song with dragon-force. which was surprisingly good. turns out their music is not so bad.

And yes, I was also skeptical at first. But once you get over the bizarre factor of the whole premise, the music is actually pretty solid! And lots of fun! I love watching their performances because they're so full of energy, especially Moa.

Not to be a troll or anything, but I honestly feel as if Babbymetal is a "meme" band, a fad, a "metal" group for the normies ("so zany, Japan does it again!")

I'm not even a weeb, but I feel like they overshadow Japanese bands that deserve more merit for their work.

I think they're far from terrible, talented for sure, but like you said I think a lot of westerners only see it for the novelty, and as a trendy thing. I have a couple normie friends who "love japanese culture and music" that do at least. Baby Metal and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu are the big two I see that happen with.

I understand where you guys are coming from. They'll certainly never shake free of their idol roots, and that's okay by me. Babymetal is definitely about more than the music, they're sort of a full package of song, dance, visuals, and lore.

Even still, I think their music is solid and it's clear that the producers actually care about metal and its subgenres.
