Here is a riddle for you all to consider: What is cute as a basket of puppies, addictive as a bag of chocolates, and as entertaining as a Chinese finger trap (maybe even more). The answer is BABYMETAL.
I was referred to their YouTube channel by a friend. Then the magic truly began. I was watching their music videos day and night, (in a non-creepy way, considering SU-METAL is older than me by a lot) and then I was compelled to learn Japanese, which in my mind is serious dedication. I then continued to watch their lives on YouTube (most in horrible quality), reviews, and dance covers made by other fans. I am glad I am not the only stalker on the Internet. I then asked myself a question: "It would TOTALLY be worth it to go to one of these, right?" I then begged my relative who lives abroad to let me go to the BABYMETAL birthday celebration of YUI-METAL in Paris, and later MOA-METAL's in Cologne.
I completely blew all of my summer's spending money, but to me, nothing was more worth the money than to see those girls and Kami-Band in the live performance.
When I finally got to the floor of both of those theatres, I had a huge adrenaline spike. It was hard for me to even breathe. The music fusion of J-Pop and Metal, the in-sync-ness of the whole experience, the fans. It was too much to absorb. I would recommend the BABYMETAL experience to anyone who wants to go on a fox-ride of an adventure, like the one I am experiencing now. But to put it shortly, I'll say this: BABYMETAL is coming. And you are next.
