That's a hilarious visual. Those eyes! And ears. Sakura Gakuin's most-loved graduates.

OMG school sports anthem plus robot anime! The BM machine is running very strong!! Everything you didn't know you wanted to know, about the baseball choreography from 01:33: Song lyrics at du-metal.blogspot.com/2016/04/meta-meta-taro.htmlSome lyrics of this song seem to have references to "Ultraman" series, Japanese SFX TV drama series of giant heroes. "Ultraman Taroh" is the 5th series broadcast in 1973."Buttobase Meta Taroo!" is a parody of "Kattobase (person's name)!" This is yelled out to cheer up the batter in a baseball game in Japan. Here "buttobase" may mean "hit the enemy away", but SU-METAL posed like a batter in the Wembley concert.Actually, it's kind of a combined kung-fu style pitcher-batter move. BM's team dancing is maybe the most awesome thing about them. Tiny things in tights, pigtails, and poof skirts skittering around like Arthur Rackham imps and throwing bolts of energy. They seem to realize what they are onto. Since buttobase is so close to an SK fan's major interests, here's the JM-Dict definition: jisho.org/search/打っ飛ばせ You could say the core concept is a mighty push forward, whether what moves is you yourself, or something else that's in front of you.

Perfume's performance at the 2012 Japanese MTV Video Music Awards in Tokyo. Photo: Issei Kato / ReutersThe little kitsunes in a promo shot from 2014About the B&W illustration combining Babymetal with Perfume — it's not so far-fetched when you leave genres out of it. They're both niche idol groups who are exploiting idol culture at the same time as they try to stay independent as possible, cultivating a small but fanatical fanbase, instead of a humungous, fickle, expensive, difficult and dumb one. 〜 This was articulated pretty well in 2014 by Ryotaro Aoki of the thrash-pop band Looprider, at his archival writing blog Don't Cross the Streams. (Funny because all Looprider and bands like them ever do is cross different music genres.) Ryotaro Aoki biz card parallelogramsite.wordpress.com/about-2/The semi-death-like thrashy pop-rock stylings of Looprider. It's anime theme music, whatever else it is. looprider.comTHE FACES BEHIND BABYMETALMarch 15, 2014 By ryotaroao for the Don't Cross the Streams blog donotcrossthestreams.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/the-faces-behind-babymetal/Idol groups like Momoiro Clover Z and BiS have succeeded by targeting a niche group of fans of a particular subculture and hiring musicians with street cred from that subculture to make the music and project feel more authentic and legitimate. So it’s actually kind of ironic when people [dispute] the “metalness” of a group like Babymetal; they’ve been genetically engineered specifically to meet certain criteria.

A backward look at Moametal. Always good for a smile. First of all, this has always amused me and proves that Team Babymetal has an excellent sense of humor. Yield thee Sir Knight, an I shake these my curls at theeMoa Kikuchi - Funny Dance - MOAMETAL2014 DEC 20 by RUHE - METAL (01:43) Short comp video of goofy dancing performed by Moa Kikuchi. All clips but one are pre-Babymetal. Thrill to the the original Wakame Dance. {BABYMETAL} Beloved Kikuchi: tiny devil × legendary angel {MOAMETAL}2015 FEB 13 by 火魔人 Death Babymetal's Idol Monster "Moametal", the hypothetical figure known to the world as "The Beloved Kikuchi”. Is she an angel? Or a little devil? Rich in everything that makes a person moe. A short compilation of her charm. Watch it when you're feeling "Somehow I've been getting moa-moa." (?)
The same footage at Niconico: nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25569015What if you had to grow up in the same family with that? BABYMETAL - Professional Moa2015 FEB 13 by Missing Reel (00:12) Watch Moa's slick recovery as the microphone rolls away from her at the end of Headbanya!! at Budokan Black Night.It's not exactly death-defying, but she's good at covering. She had much more to cover the previous night (Red Night) when she slipped and took a painful fall, while Yui ran completely off the stage and fell maybe a meter and a half into a darkened equipment well. There were 3 or 4 minutes when nobody knew where Yui went, or if she was coming back. The magic circle stage at Budokan really was from hell. babymetal moa-chan kick the fox-mask again !2015 JUN 08 by miffy h (00:42) babymetal at zurich ! Re-upping because image quality on yesterday's upload was shit.
Moametal deftly clears a loose fox mask from underfoot without missing any dance steps. She had to do this every time Su-metal would wing it directly in front of her, which was more than once.

I've been on the fence for a while now, but after listening to Metal Resistance all week on Spotify, I'm off the fence. These girls rock! I'm still not too impressed with their self-titled debut, but I LOVE Metal Resistance. To me, the songwriting is so much better.

I'm still not too impressed with their self-titled debut, but I LOVE Metal Resistance. To me, the songwriting is so much better. I caved the first time I saw the Headbanger! MV. It disturbed me, how far they were prepared to take their little joke, which was when I had to admit that if they insist on taking it right off a cliff and all the way to the bottom, it turns... serious? This thing they created in the lab is a real live monster. The bigger it gets, the more talent it attracts to itself. It's just another frame for the world-conquering image of The Japanese Schoolgirl, but what an image, what a frame. The thrill to me is the performance realization of the lame idea. Gene Kelly: I can do a dance with a wet umbrella that'll amaze you. Me: No you can't, I will not be amazed by anything you can actually do. [ FIVE MINUTES LATER ] Me: . . . .

June 20 is Yui-metal's birthday. She's waking up 17 years of age today. Moa's not far behind. Yui Mizuno, the tomato-loving oneen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yui_Mizuno Singing in the rain at Download 2016. They *are* a little tough to tell apart sometimes, but Yui has less of a "character" face and her home position is always to the viewer's right.

Over 40 minutes of industrial-strength kawaii from Mizuno Yui-chan, the shortest, most competitive member of Sakura Gakuin. And her school grades are tops, too. Seems like the fan clubs cook up about 5 of these every year. This is a very strong dose. Take only half if sensitive. Yui's recorder performance explains why she's a singer and dancer. If you actually watch all 40 minutes you may see 6 or 7 commercials, but your kawaii needs will be met and you'll be able to pick Yui out of a crowd by the end. 2016 JUN 14 by BABYMETAL FANS US HAPPY BIRTHDAY 17th YUIMETAL [YUI MIZUNO] (20/06/1999 - 20/06/2016) - BABYMETAL FANS!
