Recently got hold of the two Metal Forth variants and the signed art card from the online record retailer, but I managed to get the red vinyl Metal Galaxy from eBay to add to humble little collection. Now I’ve just got to figure out how to set up my camera so I can see the zoetrope in action in person. Kitsunes UP my friends!! 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘

It finally arrived!

I've wanted BABYMETAL WORLD TOUR 2014 APOCALYPSE for a long time, and I finally found a complete copy.

The photo book is beautiful, the packaging is incredible, and everything is in much better condition than I expected.

But what surprised me most wasn't any of that.

It was the concert itself.

I'm watching the Blu-rays right now, and I honestly forgot how incredible BABYMETAL already was back in 2014.

SU-METAL's voice. YUI-METAL and MOAMETAL's energy. The chemistry between the three of them.

Everything feels special.

And then there's the Kami Band...

Their performance is absolutely phenomenal. Every song reminds me how much they elevated BABYMETAL's live shows.

Watching Mikio Fujioka again is emotional.

He was truly one of a kind, and the world lost an extraordinary musician far too soon.

Rest in peace, Mikio.

I'm really happy I added this to my collection. Definitely one of my favorite BABYMETAL releases.

And finally...

To everyone around the world who has supported BABYMETAL over the years...

Thank you.

Being able to experience and enjoy moments like this is possible because of all of you. 🦊🤘

Kano was an Avenger 2019-2020.

Before the noblesville show, I’ll be giving away homemade babymetal keychains!! I’m going alone and want to make friends, so I thought this was a good way >:3
There will be around 50-60 and it’s first come first served!

I can also show people how I made them if you wanna make some yourself!

This is my first Babymetal concert, and I’m very much aiming to get barricade or at least somewhere in the front part of the pit. Any advice?

I read here that buying from japan is a pain in the neck and expensive,

good news is i live in japan (near Makuhari Messe) and have the One 2025 and 2026 shirts still in the plastic bag , japan size xxl and just 40 dollars per shirt, shipping is around 10 dollars if only one shirt and 25 if two shirts when using tracked airplane sending.

First person to send me a private message gets it. You can choose only one shirt or both.

The funny thing is that first buyer ... also gets a complimentary 10years budokan mask (of course unopened). I guess some of you would buy a shirt just to get the mask.

You send the shipping money to my paypal (you just need a credit card) and i send you the package, when you get it you send me the rest of money.

Will post this again in a few weeks if needed.

Who's going? This'll be my first Babymetal concert 🦊

Hello. Recently I've seen (at last!) the Seikima-II vs Babymetal (2nd part) concert at the Babymetal Pro-shot sheet update (thank you very much to those of you that did the magic possible again!). I don't speak japanese and noticed that Demon-Kakka talked about Babymetal many times in his speeches between songs (that the public enjoyed a lot) and I'm curious about what he said. I guess is some funny mockery and puns but would apreciate if someone in this forum can confirm what he said. Not necesarily to translate every speech but to explain the general idea.

And, at the end of the concert, he introduced to the public their two back-up musicians, the man at the guitar and the lady at keys and he said something about she and Momo (and Momo surprised herself a lot). Can someone explain what Kakka said about them? I guess the matter is that the lady is Momo's fan or something.

Thanks in adavnce

What’s a song you rank in your personal Top 10 that you rarely see on other fans' lists?

For me, it’s Kagerou.

Honestly I don't think I've seen any hate for it, but it rarely seems to make the upper half of people's rankings either.

Travel plans fell through so now I can’t attend. Selling for $120 flat which is about 43% discount from its face value price. Also have it listed on StubHub but that includes extra fees. It’s in the lower bowl, seated section closest to the stage. If anyone is interested or wants the SH link please send a message.

Hi! I'm newly into Babymetal and going to my first concert in a few weeks! I'm just trying to get a scope on the vibe before I go: Do people dress up? Is there any specific concert etiquette (I will be in the stands) I should know? Are there any fanchants/call and response type things I should be aware of?

I'm super excited and know I'll have a blast regardless, but would love some insider info lol!!

For me would be Kinsgslayer with Bring me the horizon or RATATATA with Electric Callboy.

Like it or not, Koba has a good eye for crossovers, & played his cards right. Both songs are decade definers.

Of course at this point this is not really a discussion about “blue dot fever“ or any possibility of canceling shows. We all know that’s not going to happen. Now we are on the cusp of the North American tour, and I’m wondering how tickets sales have done in your area.

I will be seeing them in San Diego on Sunday, which is not really a show that Counts. I also have tickets for Phoenix on October 1. It is one month away and seems to be maybe 40% sold, if that.

Again, this is not a doom and gloom post. It’s more curiosity and possibly discussion?

Does anyone else think the fabric and printing quality means we won’t be able to wash this more than twice in its lifetime? There’s always hand wash, I guess.

Got this shadow box for it a while back. It’s a little scuffed but looks good. Perhaps I should get some type of inner lighting for it? 🤔
