THIS IS: BABYMETAL

When J-pop meets metal.



BABYMETAL is an idol band from Japan that mixes teen vocals with screams and dark instrumentation. Call it kawaii metal or whatever, they invented a so addictive new sound that works perfectly.



Moreover, the staging is pretty awesome with simple but impressive coreographies and various special effects including lightning lights and fireworks.



On April 1st they released their new album METAL RESISTANCE (AMUSE/Sony Music, 2016), with the single "Karate".



Be careful, you could be hooked with a listen ^_^
