In the gap between our prior episode and the beginning of the US tour, we spent some time looking into the backgrounds of the three Brave Avengers. We talk a bit about Riho Sayashi and her history with Morning Musume, and then dove moderately deep into what Sakura Gakuin is with the help of Gabe, our guest expert. We cover how SG relates to BABYMETAL’s origins, and Kano Fujihira’s and Momoko Okazaki’s history in SG, and lots about the structure of SG in general. Join us, for this feature-length episode.
Some additional notes. Many of the links below are to wikis that are updated. Many videos that were previously available have been removed, and finding them may be difficult. The wikis will likely get updated as new homes are found for these videos. As always, please support Amuse, BABYMETAL, Sakura Gakuin, by buying original media when they still have it for sale. Much of this content is, however, is no longer, or never was, available through primary sales channels, and furthermore did not have English subtitles even when it was for sale or broadcast. Rather than link to videos here, we will name them so your own searches can find them. Google often works, the wiki entries also often have links to them.
