BABYMETAL on Tour
They call it "kawaii" metal ("cute" metal in Japanese) and the concept is so ludicrous it could only have come from the bizarre, wonderful subculture factory that is Japan. BABYMETAL features two (formerly three) diminutive teen girls singing pop songs — in front of a band of middle-aged heavy metal musicians. It shouldn't work, but it really, really does. Singers Su-metal, Moametal and, originally, Yuimetal are so small that they sometimes stand on boxes onstage, dressed in matching dresses that are part baby-doll, part medieval fantasy. It is a surreal and amazing sight — but for all the novelty, these ladies are surprisingly commanding. Their music is a study in delightful contrasts, melding girlish pop with guitar heroics and satisfyingly heavy rock. The group took the world by storm on their first BABYMETAL World Tour in 2014, and they were impressive enough to be invited to open for Lady Gaga during her 2014 ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour. After their BABYMETAL World Tour 2016: Legend Metal Resistance, they were invited to support none other than Metallica the next year. In 2019, they undertook their first-ever U.S. headlining tour, supported by Swedish metal act Avatar.
BABYMETAL in Concert
Before joining the pre-fab band, BABYMETAL's singers had no idea what heavy metal even was. One singer, Yuimetal, admits she's never been in a mosh pit, and thinks she'd be "smashed to bits." Instead, singers Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal were all part of Sakura Gakuin, a group of junior high school girls chasing fame in Japan's lucrative "idol pop" industry. That industry is all about cultivating an image of innocence, but it can be hard to stand out; producer Kobametal originally imagined BABYMETAL as a subgroup of Sakura Gakuin that would distinguish the main group. But BABYMETAL quickly took on a life of their own, and in early 2014 the group released their first self-titled album to acclaim, climbing metal charts around the world thanks in no small part to the breakout single "Gimme Chocolate!" In 2016, the band released their second album, Metal Resistance and became the first Japanese group to headline Wembley Arena. Metalheads have embraced the group, who have been welcomed at major metal festivals. They even performed "Gimme Chocolate!" on the The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Yuimetal left the group in late 2018, but that hasn't slowed the band's momentum.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Possibly the most unique act of 2014
by meathead1 on 11/7/14Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom - New YorkOne thing is clear these girls completely controlled and owned the stage and the crowd was hypnotized. The lead singer can sing! She was a boss! There were so many unique things about this concert that I truly don't even know where to start. The band was amazing and very skilled. I knew this was going to be different but I was amazed at how I felt after the concert, the girls while singing constantly engage the crowd with smiles and happiness and I realized that the crowd was also picking this up. In the end almost every one was smiling even while moshing I mean it was almost something religious in the way this spread. I've been to my fare share of concerts in my life and I have never seen anything like this. Go to a baby metal show you will never regret it.

by Dc14peruano on 11/6/14The Fonda Theatre - Los AngelesGot to watch Babymetal at the Fonda theater in Los Angeles and this group knows how to put on a great show! The girls themselves bring out great energy to the audience with Su's vocals making you go "Whoa!" while Moa and Yui making awesome dance moves and chorus lines that make you want to sing along! I love that the backing band is free to improvise in the songs and even have their own solo sessions as a metal show should! 10/10 would watch again!

by Plenipote on 11/6/14Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom - New YorkThe Kami Band was rocking, the girls were putting on a great show, and the crowd was all-in for the ride of their lives! I cannot truly do justice to just how much fun this concert was and this is coming from a 40 y/o, old-school MetalHead! BABYMETAL rocks and you will be hooked once you see them live, if their online videos/music hasn't hooked you before then! The power of Su-Metal's voice combined with the Kawaiiness of Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal combine perfectly with the honest-to-god, bone-crunching, ear-shredding, heavy metal stylings of the Kami band! Most fun I've ever had at a heavy metal concert, and they just keep getting better and better! Hope to catch them on their 2015 World Tour, so until then, Kitsune Up! And as they say, We Are BABYMETAL!
