It was last night at the Uptown Theater. Not my video.

Do they actually play their own instruments? The music is decent but the "singing" stinks.

Certainly there is meaning in a Babymetal song with lyrics in Japanese about how they want to eat chocolate but it might make them fat.

The metal is serious bidness phase, followed by the likes hockey phase before moving on to the craft beer phase. So basically the last 30 years of my life.

The girls don't play any instruments, they just sing and dance. The band plays all the music live.

Here is the band without the girls.

The band is great; the singers are garbage. That would, seemingly, be an easy fix.

Did you dress like your favorite Pokeman character or was that just optional?

I was wearing jeans, t-shirt and a pair of J's.

Did the T shirt have a power ranger doing bad karate on the front?

The singers are the novelty of the act.

I love that song. My daughter memorizes that stuff even though she doesn't know a word of Japanese. LOL

They're better than most metal out now. They're no Lacuna Coil. And it's a damn shame that girls in bikinis aren't going to show up in the crowd to have lunch meat thrown at them after the show, but to each their own

I like Babymetal.

It’s not about the content of the lyrics, it’s about the tone/key of the lyrics not being in synch with the music. Heavy, lower range music sounds stupid matched up with children sounding voices. It’s like 16 year old Justin Beber singing a Slayer song. It sounds stupid and ruins the song.
