Wicked Teletubby

I second that. please no gravity blasts.

so the first ever european show for BABYMETAL was a success. I liked the fact that crowd was actually moshing. halfway through the song, Headbanger!! Yui took lead vocal duties and sang the rest of the song while Su joined Moa on dancing. setlist was: BABYMETAL DEATH Iine! Uki Uki ★ Midnight Kami Band Performance Akumu No Rondo Onedari Dai Sakusen Catch Me If You Can Benitsuki -Akatsuki- 4 No Uta Megitsune Doki Doki ☆ Morning Give Me Choco!! Encore: Headbanger!! Ijime, Dame, Zettai

Russian orthodox activists have sabotaged both shows in Moscow and Novosibirsk. both concerts got cancelled.

sounds REALLY nice.

Moscow venue has been changed to TEATR CLUB which is twice smaller. I guess sales aren't going really well there.

LA show is now totally sold out.

here's a DIFFERENT SENSE clip. I guess that's the only time when they started the song with a drum'n'bass lick.

BABYMETAL facebook reports that pre-sale tickets for an LA show were sold out in a moment. another batch of tickets will be available tomorrow. my personal guess is that just like the London show this one may be transferred to a bigger venue.

Los Angeles, CA has been added to the World Tour schedule. five US dates have been added to the Lady Gaga Support Act Tour.

who's NARASAKI?

let me explain. I've seen DIR EN GREY live twice - both times in Moscow. all four INWARD SCREAMs were totally screwed up by the crowds. Russian fans just don't know when to shut up. I think that, in a way, the whole Sukekiyo show is an extended INWARD SCREAM. I'm not trying to be rude now, but that's just what I've seen myself. and speaking of Russian fanbase. I believe that the whole DIR EN GREY fanbase in Russia is totally aware of Sukekiyo because since last year it's about both bands, all DIR EN GREY communities post Sukekiyo news as well.

Russian fans will most likely screw up the whole atmosphere.

more dates added to the schedule. including Canada.

London show is now sold out - again.

Manson's mom, Barbara J. Warner passed away on May, 13th. Manson told the world about it today by posting this:

as there's no general topic for this band I thought I'd start one. some general discussion and minor news could belong here. for those who's not into THAT side of YouTube, BABYMETAL is a Japanese pop idol + metal act growing huge around the world as of now. their live music video for a song, Gimichoco!! is now enjoying a great success getting more than 8 million views. on March 8 and 9, BABYMETAL played two big shows at NIPPON BUDOKAN after which it was decided that the band is to go overseas. their debut self-titled album has made it onto the tops of iTunes charts in the US and select European countries. this summer, BABYMETAL is playing in Europe, including Sonisphere Festival. as for the news, girls are now in New York doing some photosessions.

London show is now sold out in one day. the venue has been changed to The Forum which is twice bigger. and a corrected trailer.
