BABYMETAL

BABYMETAL is a Japanese kawaii metal band that has been revolutionizing the genre since their formation in 2010. The group initially began as a subunit of the female idol group Sakura Gakuin and was created by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. BABYMETAL consists of lead vocalist Suzuka Nakamoto, known by her stage name Su-metal, and backing vocalist Moa Kikuchi, known as Moametal. They were originally a trio, with Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) rounding out the group until her departure in 2018.

Blending the contrasting worlds of heavy metal and J-pop idol culture, BABYMETAL has cultivated a unique style called "kawaii metal" or "cute metal," characterized by the fusion of high-octane metal instrumentation with idyllic, catchy pop melodies and dynamic choreography. Their innovative sound and theatrical live performances have garnered a global fanbase and critical acclaim. BABYMETAL's most recent releases, such as "METALI!!" featuring Tom Morello, and the live album "10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN," demonstrate their continued evolution and influence in the metal scene, affirming their status as metal icons while they continue to push the boundaries of the genre.
