BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 015 - Podcast (feat. METAL GALAXY)Welcome to the (surprisingly complicated) world of METAL GALAXY. BABYMETAL revealed the track lists, collaborations, and cover art for nine different physical editions of their forthcoming album. We go on an odyssey through the METAL GALAXY versions, evaluating old predictions and making new ones. We also talk about BABYMETAL’s performance at Super Slippa 10, the reveal of Momoko Okazaki as the third of three Brave Avengers, the announcement of upcoming shows in Hong Kong (November) and Taipei (April), and thoughts from GALACTIC EMPIRE about playing with BABYMETAL in Japan.

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 013 - Legend MBABYMETAL turned footage of Yokohama night 2 into a PA PA YA!! official MV, in record time, and the views are pouring in. Legend M happened, and it was glorious. Moa narrated the opening, and sang Headbanger. Also, a new song (“SHINE” according to the copyright bots) debuted, a performance duet between Su-metal and Moametal, with Moa on stage with a guitar. We have first-hand reports from all the Yokohama and Nagoya shows. We have a set list from Brixton, where Syncopation had its debut outside of Japan. Moa turned 20, F.

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 012 - They Just Holy There's I Mean Um WowJune 28, 2019, arrived and suddenly we are drowning in news. Even shorthanded, we needed to record something, so we attempted a quick overview of the news to date as of the moment of recording. Spoiler: we succeeded in the overview part, not the quick part. (Also spoiler: more news arrived after we recorded, which we will talk about next time!) People started receiving the Dark Night Carnival/Download 2018 set, Tattoo became Kagerou, PA PA YA!! was officially released. Two performances in Yokohama and one in Glastonbury gave us two new songs, lots of new photos and videos, a bonus sound check...

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 011 - Papaya?Papaya-kun
PA PA YA??

Almost beyond the moon
Information surrounding the approaching shows in Yokohama, Glastonbury, London, and Nagoya occupy much of our discussion this time. The Brixton venue claims it has the only European show of 2019, BABYMETAL announce Live Viewings of the final night of the Nagoya Legend M shows. We talk about the BABYMETAL Wonderful Journey, and a fortunate encounter the Funko Pops had with Ayaka Miyoshi, one of BABYMETAL’s fellow SG alums. And we speculate about papayas a little bit.

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 009 - BABYMETAL LivesJoin us in a blast from the past as we talk about the things that happened before any of the events surrounding the release of Elevator Girl had taken place. Revel with us in our numerous wrong guesses! Between the previous episode and the recording of this one, a number of new shows were announced, including two festival shows (in California and in Taipei), and two headlining shows, one in London (puzzlingly scheduled between the June and July Japan shows), and a huge one in Los Angeles (at the Forum in October). We talk about that, and a little bit...

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 007 - Doki Doki PodcastThe news, such as it is, includes the announcement of The One 2019, which begins by picking a size and buying a T-shirt. The Gimme Chocolate!! video hits 100m views, which is marked officially by silence. Saya (who stood in Yui’s place in some recent shows) and Kotono (who performed in the big Japan shows) perform Gimme Chocolate!! at their performance school in what was reportedly a very realistic fashion. Art prints from John McMurtrie and GMB Chomichuk. And then we spend the rest of the episode on a deep dive into Doki Doki Morning, the first BABYMETAL song performed an...

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 006 - BABYMETAL Podcast DEATHIn this episode, we tell our stories of how we came to be fans of BABYMETAL, after rounding up the news (such it was) since the end of episode 3. News was scarce enough that a single tweet promising “Big things coming in 2019” counted as news. Also, BABYMETAL was announced as part of Summer Sonic 2019 in August. Lastly, we announced that we will be talking about Doki Doki Morning at the next opportunity, the song that started it all. Lots to say about the words, the evolution of the performances, the MV and commentary, the song, the merch, whatever! So, it’s like...

BABYMETAL PodcastEpisode 003 - HashtagsWe begin 2019 talking mostly about two tweets, a poster, and a song in a video game. The official New Year’s tweet from BABYMETAL contained a cryptic image and references to “dawn,” “odyssey,” and “metal galaxy” that have led to interesting speculations among the fans. Also discussed (just prior to its release) is the appearance of “Starlight” on Rock Band 4, and what that might bring. And we talk of anniversaries: a year since guitarist Mikio Fujioka passed away, birthdays of guitarists Ohmura and Isao. Even in the slow time after the end of the 2018 tour, there are still trickles of news.
