PRESIDENT DES

>After this episode of LOGiRL who the fuck still thinks I'm not the next president?

>missed another live LoGirl

I guess it was worth it, I had another Babymetal dream.


I was living in New York city with some youtubers (why?) and we're just hanging out on the rooftop of our apartment building, suddenly one of the guys spills his tacos everywhere and I'm all "don't worry I gotcha bro, what do you want, Chinese? I'll get us some Chinese".

Then for some reason I'm back in the Chinatown of my hometown, and I'm also walking my dog again, I'm just walking around and around, bumping into family members and friends.


Then, I spot it: Sakura Gakuin Burgers.


I walk inside and sure enough the fast-food place has a menu that's basically centered around Mini Pati songs, and also Moa's pictures of her holding various burgers, and all of the employees are dressed like Mini Pati members obviously.

I wet for a bowl of Acha! Cha! Kari! and then couldn't decide between the dozens of Moa Burgers, I finally went with the Sakura Burger special for 11.99 (Sakura Burgers are actually a McDonalds Japan thing and were never a part of Sakura Gakuin, but I'll let that slide I guess), I don't know why 11.99, usually numbers in dreams are vague nonsense symbols but that was clear as day. It also had a separate Ice Cream section to it, I don't recall if Mini Pati had any songs specifically about ice cream

So I'm just sitting there between two Salary Men eating some fries that came with the burgs when I realised: oh shit, I gotta bring this back to New York. Then on my way out I bump into Moa and also Yui & Su and I was like "oh hey girls what's g-RING RING RING OHAYO WAKE UP"

and then I woke up to my phone's alarm, Doki Doki Morning.

Not my best dream, I give it 7/10, could've used more Moa for sure rather than the guest starring at the end.

Which patty song now?

>>13158019
They have a new patty song this year.

>in b4 blah blah

Literally why

>>13158066
....moaster dont post anything since it's pissing off moral anon. Remember guys post pictures and spoiler them after that shut the fuck up, house rules.

>>13158066
It's a joke dude, people will see what they want to see.

Personally I'm more interested in Hana's expression

>>13158043
Do they? I hope so since it's their last year ;_; If it were up to me there'd be a whole album of nothing but mini pati

>>13158075
>post pictures and spoiler them

>>13158077
No don't post text, nothing will make him happy anon. Just post pics and shut the fuck up so we can have a clean thread just like in every other board on 4chan.

>>13158090

>literally why

And this is exactly why the "literally why"

Xanthon you are the op right

>>13158117
We are just following Moral Führer's orders. Please post spoiler pics, no text and shut your whore mouth and enjoy the thread.

>>13158103
Because of a false flag funposter trying to derail the thread again? cool. Anyways don't bother to reply to this because I won't reply to whatever it is you write back

Instead, have a picture.

>>13158117
Nope.

>>13158130

>>13158131
Oh but you're against "moralfags" and calling out innapropriate comments on yui huh? You've been exposed. I will expose you to lebbit.

>>13158145

>>13158133

>>13158147
That's my first post in this thread.

Alright the spoiler thing is getting old as fuck

It's borderline trolling now

>>13158153

>>13158157
>>13158154

>>13158154
lol bullshit buddy. I made sure to keep checking the poster count throughout this thread. You're exposed. Knew it.

>>13158121

>>13158168
Whatever you say buddy.

I love you Moa but you get the crazy eyes sometimes

>>13158175
sometimes more than others.

Okay I'm done for now, I'll be back when whenever this is, with the false-flag meta-funposting, isn't happening

I want to be apart of these threads but I just got nothing.

How long do you guys think BabyMetal will be around? Could you imagine 25 year old BabyMetal?

Guys remember

No text & spoiler pics

Moaster and a few other anons understand.

Please follow the rules & enjoy the thread

>>13158189
Perfume lasted till now.

>>13158184
I love it when Moa goes into one of her "modes".

>>13158198
Speaking of Perfume, are they any good?

>>13158172
There are literally 3 posters in here. One is moaster. The other is me, and the new id is me becaude I'm on my phone. Before I ever posted in here there were only 3 ids, I am the other 2. So your blatant lie only proves guilty conscience. How dumb do you have to be to tell people your lebbit username and then at the same time lead a crusade against "moralfags" who call out lewd content? What would your lebbit friends think?

#exposed

>>13158201

>>13158196
>don't imply yui has a dick in her mouth means not to post any text whatsoever
>more false equivalence

>>13158207
Yes sir, yes. Please tell the world about me. I'm pretty much ruined now. I can never face any SG fans anymore. I'm dead.

Yours truly,
Xanthon

>>13158189
That's only ten years from now, and it took them nearly 5 years for them to produce an "album", so yeah I can see them sticking around for a couple more albums.

If anything I think we'll see them take breaks for the girls to finish school or maybe do side projects for their solo careers during that time, maybe have a Babymetal reunion tour at the rickety old age of 30.

>>13158220

>>13158222
Fuck you. I'm the real Xanthon

Xanthon here. pls tell everyone on reddit i want to lick yui

>>13158222
I knew about you, moamaestro, bubbledreamer, and andy you fuckin creeps lmao

>>13158222
>>13158236

No I'm the real xanthon

I'm the real Xanthon. I prefer Moa.

>>13158240

This thread is fucking wacky.

>>13158247
True xanthons go for Su.

Why the fuck does everyone want to be me today. Holy shit >:3

>>13158246
>>13158247
>>13158239
>>13158236

>>13158201
I also love how Yui & Su are going full neck-stretch mode, but Yui looks like she'd rather be at home eating some tomatos

I'm the real xanthon. I prefer dicks.

>>13158262

I don't even understand the spoiler pics. But I haven't been paying attention as new Su and Su OP has me distracted.

>not going to an after party with Su to celebrate the BBM victory.
>having too much champagne and getting the courage to confess your love to her on the way home
>her smiling softly and having her tell you that she knew all the time anyway
>her gently kissing you on the lips and letting your rest your head on her lap in the taxi while she strikes your head
>walking her to her room and wishing her a good evening before turning to leave
>before feeling a touch on your arm and turning to see her looking at you with longing as she simply whispers
>"Stay, please"

I'm the real xanthon. and just for anons, i'm actually moamaestro, bubbledreamer and yuimato too.

>>13158283

Loled at my typo, I'll let it stay

>she strokes your head.

Although the other situation is more likely :x

>>13158283
>she strikes your head

Probably because she's underage and can't drink and also you're kidnapping her in a taxi

>>13158287
Me too

>>13158294
Isn't Su 18?
That's not underage.

>>13158299
Her birthday is in december.

>>13158299
naw she's underage, what are you retarded. Fucking kill yourself.

>>13158299
She's 17 still, and legal age in Japan is 20

>>13158306
So is mine!

>>13158310
I love you moaster of the Moaverse

>>13158313
Like we would give a shit.

>>13158299

She's 17 m9y9.

>>13158294

Didn't say she was drinking :3 and we shared a taxi because I was staying in the same hotel or something :3

>>13158310
Are you playing the devil's advocate here?

Thread is super confusing. I feel like I've missed some memos.

>>13158321
There's no memo. It's all xanthon here.

>>13158313
MINE TOO!!!

>>13158317
You're just jealous

>>13158310
Well, damn, my bad.
For some reason I thought she was born in 96.
Just started following babymetal.

>>13158321
No, I'm just pointing out the fact that Su wouldn't be riding in some lowly taxi with some random stranger after a party with Amuse entertainment. She'd be in a private limo with her Babymetal entourage. If you're going to fantasize, make it somewhat realistic.

Also, it's just one guy trying to derail the thread and being absolutely adorable while trying to do so, everything from pretending to be a moralfriend to spamming webms of Korean cheerleaders, nevermind him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmX2ZAwcaC4

Found the actual speech which was cut from the thingy link.

>posting K-sluts
Why?

anything for this. anything.

>>13158357

If I wrote out the whole back story it would fill an entire thread to myself :3

>Not having a secondary dream world where you are around your waifu all the time.

It makes it easier to lucid dream of I tell myself stories and advance mine and Su's plot as I lay in bed pre-slumber :3

Also, tfw tempted to get a custom litho poster or 10 of Su and dedicate a wall to her beauty. It's only like £75 where I'm looking.

>>13158382
what the fuck does that say

>>13158321
Uhh moaster complained a few times about things of that nature before

>this new

btw this thread is highly amusing

>>13158399
I am mistaken. He did say he'd wait for 18+, which does include 20 I suppose. Of course I wonder if he considered he could have Moa by 16 if he got her parents approval. :3

>>13158432
Moa's gay you fucking autistic faggot. Fucking kill yourself.

>>13158432
The girl went in full crossdressing mode last night and not only that, she owned it. He doesn't believe in unrealistic hypotheticals ;)

>>13158452
Holy shit, I'm dying laughing in this thread.

Lmao

Do you think Moa has ever tried to kiss Yui?

>>13158459
Moa wasnt there, that was mori sensei

>>13158468
Wow what a pervert

>>13158468

Of course, they do every time they bathe together and Moa has have it colder than she would like to suit Yui. So she makes Yui pay with kisses.

do they speak English?

>>13158496
.............lol yea they do anon. Perfect Fucking English.

>>13158512

Su having a party in the background :3

>>13158382
>that anarchy symbol

the plot thickens

>>13158452
>>13158459
>Implying that I wouldn't become a transgender lesbian for my future waifu

>>13158608
Moaster said he' a lesbian for his waifu

Male lesbian = Giant Faggot
Waifu = Hasbandou

Moaster comfirmed wanting mori sensei's comedic penis.

>>13158608

>not becoming the best you can be and being the inspiring manly drill to pierce your lesbian waifus heaven

And by that I obviously meant turning her onto men... :3

>>13158679
Did somebody say DRILL!! WAIFUS!!! HEAVEN!!!

>>13158653
Well who could deny that chiseled jaw :3~~~~

>>13158679
>the inspiring manly drill to pierce

That's a little too much on the nose, isn't it? Also what is a drill doing up in the sky? Don't drills go in the ground and would that be lesbian waifu hell? How about a rocket?

Confusing metaphor aside, I don't think she's a full-blown lesbian. I think she spends a little too much time with girls, Sakura Gakuin and all. Sure she likes girls, but who doesn't?

Actually it wasn't as good as I remembered. It's just funny xanthon is a ribbit who is also a pirate and a pedrofag too.


#singapoor'd

Guess who's not going to Heavy MTL?

Babymetaland also me

fingers crossed that they're going to be "one of the many more!" artists, or maybe even doing a solo show later.

Engrisu

FTFY

>>13158819
Don't worry, no one in Canada goes to see them anyway. They'll play their bullshit Danforth show and fuck off from Canadia from then on.

>>13158850
It'd be funny if they also skipped England, or they went to the Republic of Ireland and were like "this is also London"

Thread is too funny. The future president approves.

I'd be more impressed if I saw at least one girl in the group playing guitar.

>>13159760

>>13158393
I'm probably way off since I only just started learning, but I got, "May looking at me always give a sense of warmth inside. I give you my thanks ♥. Such a Japanophile. You make me sway, too." I give up on the last line.

>>13159760
Well she kind of looks like Moa and is also into crossdressing

>>13159775
But one of them do play guitar ;)

>>13159760
Don't you try to sneak one on me.

Dammit, being popular hurts. Getting attacked every fucking thread.

Naw this guy is from here. This is his way of protesting his "disgust" of recent threads. I'd say it's the image.jpg troll but image.jpg doesn't troll with his massive anger being extremely apparent as this guy does.

Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halfrord, amongst others, never played guitar in their bands. Vocalists gonna vocalize and back up singers/dancers gonna back up sing/dance

>>13159968
Moaster you're a shitty disgusting shitlord tripfaggot who has no parents

and is in love with a lesbo bitch that could give less of a shit about you. Just though i should let you know ;D

Someone save this thread.

I still feel bad for Hinata

Only 3 of those posts were me.

ありがとうございました！

Just looked at all the deleted posts and the trail leads all the way back to the guy complaining about "moralfags". There's your confirmed cancer. Who would've guessed...

>mfw over half the total posts, and all of the funposts, are deleted and were by one guy

Feels lighter in here, no? Thanks, mod-kun.

>>13159760
I approve of Baby Chan as future kaichou, she used to be so shy but I think now she's gotten over it

>>13160075
Well fuck. That proves that I was wrongly accused too.

Back to topic.

I have a pending order from asmart. I wonder if preordering the photobook now will delay my current order.

>>13159840
>>13159977

Excuse my ignorance. I just discovered this thread and decided to take a look after finding pic related on /t/. I really like how the music comes together. It's like jpop and metal fused in one UNHOLY MATRIMONY. I really like it. I haven't listened to anything jpop in like 6 years. Feels really good to run into something that doesn't sound a lot like everything else.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b4_a5t3afE

>>13160147
Great taste anon.

Soon you'll be loving every song by bm. Everyone started with their own favorite and slowly fall in love with the whole band and their discography.

>>13160147
Yea well that pic isn't exactly the kind of thing that goes over well over here.

And they don't even look alike and for fucks sake the girls are 15

>>13160143
Wouldn't that make you a priority more than anything?

>>13160163
Speak for yourself. I'd approve of a parody JAV. I'm surprised there isn't one yet.

>>13160189
Probably because they're kids dickhead

>>13160157
Welp, all in all it's good news for my newly acquired jpopsuki account. Gonna download the fuck out of Baby Metal and the Umineko OSTs.
There live show in Montreal wasn't bad at all either. That crowd was pumped.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gG40hGUeI4

>>13160163
Well...Don't point any fingers at me I didn't make it. This is 4chan anything goes. Eventually, they will grow up....and then....

>>13160250
You didn't make it but you posted it, and no, not anything goes, we literally just had 20+ posts deleted before your post. When they're grown up, then they're grown up. Until then, they aren't grown up.

>>13160208
You can't be serious. The JAV idols are adults. Lighten up.

>>13160147
>Excuse my ignorance.

No worries, it's just a common "argument" against the group.

And yeah that picture isn't setting your off on the right foot either.

>>13160250
>There live show in Montreal wasn't bad at all either

Sucks that they're apparently not coming back and that Heavy MTL this year is nothing but generic mallcore eh?

>This is 4chan anything goes

Each board has their own rules and not every board is NSFW, this isn't /b/.

>Eventually, they will grow up....and then....

and then they'll either go and have solo careers as singers/songwriters/voice actors/tomatos or retire with all that babymetal money at the ripe old age of 25.

>>13160264
JAV idols that you want to portray kids. You seriously don't see how that's fucked? The point is to pretend that it's the BM members doing it and Japanese law forbids it.

>>13160256
>>13160265
>>13160277
>adults can't pretend to be kids
You sure don't know shit about JAV.
>JAV idols that you want to portray kids
If you like violent movies, that doesn't necessarily mean you like real violence.

>>13160306
I'm not sure why you're including me in your posts but not quoting anything I said.

Just watch yourself, this isn't /b/.

>>13160306
Acting childish =/= pretending to be a real life underage person.

>>13160345

I am not this anon>>13160306 So take nothing he said as my opinion. But, I do defend his right to say it. So there is no more confusion I'll just become a namefag myself. You shall call me Dark Ruler HaDes.

Getting back to the original topic. Like I said I apologize for my ignorance. I'm must say I am really surprised they had such a successful world tour. Didn't think Canada would take such a liking to them. They even opened for Lady Gaga.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DyNXSrh_sQ

Holy fuck god no

>>13160345
Acting like a joke JAV featuring an adult cast about Babymetal is crossing some line is stupid. This isn't even close to /b/. It wasn't about them starring in their own AV. It wasn't even a loli doujinshi about them. The guy posted something really fucking tame. Like, come on.

>>13160355
They do that all the time. There's probably at least a couple posted in the JAV thread.

>>13160446
Show me an example. They often lie about old actresses' ages to make them seem younger but they have to make their fake age 18 at the least. They circumvent this in ways such as covering the "8" in the titles to make it seem more ambiguous, but when you are using the actual likeness of a real underage girl, that isn't allowed.

And just because you think it's normal doesn't mean it is. The whole point of your idea is to fantasize and pretend that it is the actual BM girls. It is blatantly sexualizing underage girls which certainly isn't allowed here(pic related).

There are people in /jp/ who don't like loli?

Come the fuck on thread. Run those faggots outta here.

Do you think Su could get a successful solo career after this?

>>13160510
Of course, and absolutely.

Do you see it as some sort of hindrance like she'll always be known as "the Babymetal girl" or something?

It's definitely more of a launching pad for sure, she's got the lungs and the vocal chords, I wouldn't be surprised if they develop her solo career between Babymetal tours & albums as well, not necessarily after Babymetal.

>>13160536
Internationally, yeah, she'd be the Babymetal girl.

>>13160483
NORMIES! MUM, NORMIES! REEEEEE

>>13160542
Oh, yeah good point actually but j-pop thrives in Japan that goes without saying. If tomorrow they dropped the whole Babymetal thing altogether and rebranded them as a straightforward idol group, I'm sure they'd retain something like 75%-99% of their domestic fanbase.

But also consider how Babymetal opened up Western metalheads & other music nerds to j-pop, if Suzuka Nakamoto released an album full of nothing but acoustic guitar sugary goodness I'm sure it'd be very popular regardless. Not as popular as babymetal in the west obviously but I think it would take off here still.

>>13160446
It'd be as much crossing the line at hentai of them would be. It's not nearly as innocent as you pretend it to be.

>>13160597
Thanks, morality police. You've shown me the error of my ways. I guess I should stop fapping to adult idols then.

Metallica has a new album in the works. I wonder if they'd collab with Babymetal on a song.

>>13160617
You guys sure love false equivalence

>>13160710
Oh, shut up. That's you. Yours and his idea is that adults acting underaged is equal to depicting real minors, and that this means if you like the former you must also like the latter.

>>13160787
Are you serious right now? You are talking about about JAV idols depicting actual real life minors. You can't be serious.

>>13160866
Woah. Adults in porn portraying teens? No way.

You are all faggots.

>>13160911
HE STARTED IT

shut the fuck up man. A newfag posted a picture without knowing the rules and he apologized. And you fucks are still going on about it. Wanna talk about meta, bring it to the old thread or start your own.

This thread needs to stay on topic.

>>13160909
I'm just confused when you make this comment and then say this

>Yours and his idea is that adults acting underaged is equal to depicting real minors, and that this means if you like the former you must also like the latter.

>>13160921
He apologized for making a comment about the fact that none of them play instruments, they both defended the pic and one continues to.

>>13160706
They probably will but not anytime soon. Their collab work should be appearing on Babymetal's album instead of on Metallica.

It'll most likely be a single though.

>>13160952
I mean adults playing under age roles in porn isn't a big deal. In any case, he didn't break any rules.

Good Morning :3 looks like some shit went down last night.

I'm kind of conflicted on whether I'd want a collab with Metallica and unsure of what kind of reaction it would bring out for both bands. Can't say it'd help Metallica much, but then again they've collaborated with Ja Rule do they probably don't give a fuck. It will surely bring BM more fans but probably grow their hater fanbase quite a bit. Old school Metallica is some of my favorite music but from the little I've heard in the last decade, it's not all that great.

But anyway, band collabs in metal are rare so I doubt it will happen. I also don't think they should rely on it too much. Road of Resistance is a great teack but let's be real. It's DragonForce featuring Su.

>>13161022
Sexualizing minors is against the rules. That pic does that.

>>13160990
It should be on a western release since the purpose is international exposure.

>>13161049
Why not both. Kiss and MoMoClo had their own versions of their collab.

>>13161046
Guess what, faggot. If that rule was as broadly applied as you liked, there would be a hell of a lot less content on 4chan. A mod sweeped through this thread and yet that pic remains. Strange, isn't it?

I don't want to shit this thread up further. So let's move on.

>>13161035

I think Metallica would be dicks and try to control it and it would be Bbm backing vocals or maybe one verse at most. Can't imagine hetfield turning round and giving vocals over to Su/Yui/Moa.

They don't need to collab tbh...as you mentioned it just turns into X band with bbm vocals. I want unique bbm when I listen to them...or at the least, j-covers they choose and change to suit the band and make their own.

>>13161100
The sweep came before then. Also, we've had webms of the girls dancing innocently and it getting deleted simply because it was titled "datass". You must be new here if you don't know all the stuff that gets deleted here.

>>13161131
That's the thing though, it's kind of hard to pinpoint BM's "sound". I think it's the vocals for the most part and when it comes to the music, it's just variety because so many of the instrumentals are wildly different from each other.

>>13161144
Imagining adult idols in a rule 34 production instead of the actual BM is pretty fucking far from pedophilia, anon. Agree to disagree.

>>13161233
Doesn't have to be pedophilia to violate the rules. You can disagree all you want but we've had plenty of pics that were deleted that weren't harmful in itself, but the context in which the poster posted it in which they sexualized an otherwise non-sexual pic.

>>13161131
Maybe not Metallica then. Other bands might see the positive reception to the Dragonforce collab and want in, though. Who knows? What if they put out an album of mostly western collabs?

>>13161271
What was the reaction among DragonForce fans though? BM fans embraced it of course, I don't think they can do much wrong in their fans eyes anyway. It sure as hell didn't change the opinions of people who already hated them, in fact, DragonForce has been "uncool" for years ever since their mainstream boom with Guitar Hero.

Is anyone here a Dragonforce fan who knows how their fanbase generally received the collab?

I honestly think if BM even collaborated with actual well regarded metal bands people would still hate, and probably turn on the band who collaborated with them so it'd definitely have to be with a band who isn't afraid of being labeled a sell-out. Slash recently said he'd play with them given the chance. Luckily, most big metal bands have been good about BM.

>>13161271

Yeah, it's one of them really. Can't really comment until they say who they are collaborating with and hearing a sample or w/e. Either way, I don't want to see them get lost in trying to make it big(ger) in the west by getting loads of bands involved in collabs.

>mfw more bands begging bbm to collab
>Su telling them she doesn't want to
>grown men getting upset because Su won't sing in their band

And then the normies will know the feels.

Kya~

Old ass performance but holy shit I've never been so engaged in a performance in so long.

This was fucking refreshing and you could SEE the damn artist as opposed to kpops shit where a monkey is handling the camera and it keeps jumping everywhere.

Are there any other good live performances from BM?

>that fucking voice
>that fight

I think once Yui and Moa commit fully to BM there is going to be a story arc of them "fighting," each other to be the Queen to the fox god.

>>13161295
To be honest I didn't think that there still was a Dragonforce fanbase. Even nearly 10 years ago at their most popular they were considered to be the Limp Bizkit of Powermetal. If it was supposed to be a way of winning over more metalheads it's not gonna happen, not with Dragonforce.

If anything I'd love to see them collaborate with Japanese metal bands & artists, even if technically Babymetal itself a sort of collaboration between dozens of people.

It'd be great exposure for whoever collaborates with them, just look at Kiba of Akiba I would have enver heard of them if it weren't for Babymetal. I want to hear new bands, I don't hear Dragonforce or Korn or Metallica or Linkin Park again. I guess maybe it's more of away to get Japanese fans exposed to western metal, but it could go both ways I think

>>13162571
They probably still have a sizeable fanbase in England. Supposedly before the Brixton show started they were playing a lot of Dragonforce and when TTFAF came on the whole crowd sang the "whoooo ohhh oh" part before the solo which is really fitting for how the show ended.

I know we got britlands here that can confirm whether it's true or not. I know someone here complained about all the Dragonforce that was played.

>>13162571

What you want is exposure to more Japanese bands for Babymetal fans. What babymetal NEED is more exposure for them to non babymetal fans in the west.

>>13162620
I believe he said that's all they played while waiting, I can imagine it getting tiring.

>>13162645
they played a little iron maiden at the beginning

>>13162637
>What babymetal NEED is more exposure for them to non babymetal fans in the west

They're doing that right now with all the festivals.

The fact that they're barely a couple of years old as a real live band and that they're selling out completely solo shows is a amazing, they're more in a position of power and influence over the western metal market, especially with all the attention that ever metal magazine & blog gives to them. Established, veterans bands still have trouble filling seats when touring with 4 or 5 other bands in the same venues that Babymetal plays or even smaller. Babymetal outsold Marilyn Manson in New York just as a random example.

Koba has already said that Babymetal's popularity has exceeded his expectations by leaps and bounds, they don't NEED anything really. Of course extra exposure would be nice, I could see them being a musical guest on a TV show like Conan or something but as far as musical collaborations go I can't think of any band that would fit in with their style. The Dragonforce collaboration was a way for Dragonforce to get more exposure & popularity, not the other way around.

Most metal bands that are still popular and relevant as much as they ever were are too far up their own ass to collaborate with Babymetal I'd think.

I don't know, maybe something with Slayer would be hilarious and controversial for kvlt metal nerds, as well as sounding good.

>>13162620
Oh right, they are from Fish & Chips Land, I guess that also explains why they chose to debut that song in England.

>>13162637
Not really. The western exposure is great and I'd truly love for them to be as big as possible in the US but their main focus is and should be Japan. They can be a lot bigger in Japan than they are considering how big their international fanbase is. News stations still act shocked and surprised when they do a segment on them. And I definitely don't want them to make decisions with appealing to the west being in mind, I want them to keep doing their own thing. Although Koba has been trying to appeal to the west within the last year, I think that's because he's a metal guy at heart though and I think he thoroughly enjoys the more metal western concert crowds over Japanese ones.

>>13162680
What you may not realize is collaborating with western bands gives them more exposure in Japan than working with Japanese bands.

The whole reason the news segments are shock is because of their overwhelming response in the west.

The Japanese has always look at themselves as an isolated country. And they worship the west.

They wouldn't give a damn if a Japanese band collaborate with another Japanese. But if a Japanese band gets endorsed by a western band, it's headline news.

You'll notice how the whole of Japan made a big deal out of babymetal's world tour.

This is the Japanese way of thinking.

>>13162691
Babymetal did fucking advertising for Metallica and the movie bombed and no one gave a fuck. It doesn't matter who they collaborate with in the west, nothing would be bigger for them in Japan than collaborating with X Japan. The fact is, metal is not huge in Japan so it wouldn't make a huge difference if they collab with a huge metal band. All I want is the music to be good regardless of who they do it with.

And yes, they make a big deal out of it, because they still don't know who the fuck they are. They also made a big deal about the SSA show on a news segment being shocked.

>>13162700
That was a Japanese advertising for a western company.

In fact, all major western film that screens in Japan are advertised by Japanese celebrities. It is of the norm.

People started to take notice of babymetal after their success in the west. The Japanese started thinking they were missing out on something. Something that the west is going crazy over but they never even heard of it.

In fact, there were many discussions in 2ch after SSA where they think that many in attendance that day were out of curiosity or new fans who found out about them after the world tour.

The whole success with white people worked and it's working extremely well for them.

All you see on the news when they feature babymetal were white people, white people and more white people. With the guests going "woah, the white people loves them." "woah, the white people is singing in japanese!" "Wow, they are not your normal idol group."

Instant recognitions by the guests even though they have never heard of babymetal. They based it solely because white people love them.

Spend a year working in Japan and you'll know what I mean.

>>13162691
>But if a Japanese band gets endorsed by a western band, it's headline news.

They were endorsed by Napalm Death and obviously had a collaboration with Dragonforce, and that's not to mention all of the photos that they took with the Big Four of Thrash metal over last summer as well as other bands.

There was absolutely no headline news for any of that besides "Babymetal goes on tour in the west, and now sports" because they don't know who western metal bands are, and they don't care who western metal bands are. I'm pretty sure that their Lady Gaga tour got more exposure in Japan.

Unless Justin Bieber or whoever makes a public statement supporting them, they can collaborate with western bands all they want and it won't mean anything to mainstream Japanese society. The reason why Koba started Babymetal in the first place is because metal in Japan lost its popularity, both with western and domestic bands.

I'm not sure if it's because im tired or can't remember, but are there any photos or vids of Su practicing/warming up for a bbm show in plain clothes like there is of Yui and Moa?

I can't recall any...need more plain cloths Su ;_;

>>13162679
>I can see them guest on Conan

You mean like how SNSD got aired on Letterman and no one really cared? There is still a language barrier and people will be alienated due to the language barrier.

The only way it'd work is if Su was able to speak conversational english to talk to the host and explain what the songs about so everyone isn't just "HUH." Su would need to uplay the cutesy style and downplay the metal to grab American casual fans.

An I don't see any of this happening

>>13162730
There is a leaked pro shot of Su doing akatsuki rehearsal in fonta. It's hard to find since amuse went nuts over it and everything got removed. But if you try searching hard enough you should be able to find it. I do not have a link on hand.

>>13162730
There's a video on dailymotion of Su practicing. I'm glad she's really taking time to get stage presence

>>13162719
Funny since they sold out back to back nights at Budokan before ever stepping foot in the west. Japan is far and away their biggest fanbase and Koba himself said the Japanese fans are mostly idol fans, not metal. Read the Metal Hammer article on SSA.

>>13162724
You do know it's a figure of speech right.

And even though they did not make the headlines, their gig with lady gaga was news. So was MCZ's gig with gaga.

My point is, collaborating with local bands isn't gonna help them as much as some of you might think. Japanese collaborations is extremely common especially in the jmetal and jrock scene.

>>13162744

They sold out Budokan but they were not mainstream yet. After the world tour, you can walk down the street and hear megitsune playing everywhere.

>>13162736
>>13162742
anybody who has that, put it on mega

>>13162732
>The only way it'd work is if Su was able to speak conversational english to talk to the host and explain what the songs about

Musical guests don't talk to the host in talk shows.

>There is still a language barrier and people will be alienated due to the language barrier.

That's what the Youtubers React people said" LOL THEY'LL NEVER MAKE IT IN AMERICA WE SPEAK ENGLISH AND OUR METAL IS BRUTAL I LISTEN TO LINKIN PARK" and yet this is their third time in the states. Language don't mean shit when it comes to music.

>>13162759
>their gig with lady gaga was news. So was MCZ's gig with gaga.

My point is that western METAL bands are irrelevant in japan, American pop is big there obviously, but as far as collaborations go it'd be best that they collaborate with Japanese metal bands.

>>13162759
Yea, they're still not mainstream yet. And if they are, that has nothing to do with white people and everythjng to do with media exposure like playing on Music Super Station Live 2014.

Since when do Japanese care what whites/Americans think? They are one of the only first world countries where American entertainment doesn't dominate. Either way, collaborating with Judas Priest or something wouldn't be a big deal in Japan at all, since metal is small there and BM's fanbase consists of idol fans. In Japan, people were more impressed with touring with Lady Gaga than anything metal.

>>13162778
>METAL bands are irrelevant in japan
Metallica and megadeth are fucking huge in japan. Most old school metal bands are well known thanks to marty friedman. As for the newer bands, look at loud park's yearly lineup man. You are underestimating the metal scene in japan.

>>13162783
They do care about what the americans think. And especially the americans. Being unable to dominate the market doesn't equal to not caring.

This is the Japanese pride. Anything Japanese that gets recognized overseas is deemed respectable.

This is why if you search for japanese tribute videos, they are always calling babymetal the pride of japan. and it's also why the ministry of foreign affairs met with babymetal.

>>13162778
Language barrier is a problem. You can't make it in America if you don't sing in English unless it's Spanish, since there are plenty of Hispanic people here. BM is the exception, especially for Japanese artists since they never did well here. Even Utada Hikaru got signed to Def Jam around 2006 to sing in English and it failed. It's a long uphill battle for Babymetal, it also doesn't help that metal is an unpopular genre. Where they're at now is amazing but I can't imagine they can get too much bigger. Just the music alone is just not mainstream, and it's too bizzarre for the average person. That being said, I'd love fot them to sell out stadiums all over the world one day but I'm not holding my breath.

Here is the Akatsuki rehearsal at The Forum, is the anon talking about Su practice referring to the same video?

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ir25h

>>13162778
There has been a few artists that talk to the host and get interviewed.

Who cares if it's their 3rd time in the states. Look at SNSD in their prime, they had fnas in the states and are alot bigger than BM but look what happened when they came over.....nothing. Sure they get gigs but nothing hugely popular.

>>13162798
That's the one I'm talking about, I don't know about the other anon.

Really glad she's getting better and better at stage presense. ALthough I hate that weird walk she does, she needs something else.

>>13162788
Mmm I don't know, I'm pretty sure Japanese ideals conflict with American ideals often and it leads to contention. All you need to do is look at Japanese videogame developers. They love when western fans love them but when they don't then all the sudden it's stupid Americans. Look at the fiasco with the new Tekken "idol" character that got scrapped for the US because "white people" were complaining about it. The developer got really anti-american and said he'll give us a bald muscular militaryman instead lol

Point being, everyone likes flattery, but that doesn't mean they like the flatterer.

>>13162813
Actually that anon is right. I've worked in Japan for about a year and they do worship the Americans. Being able to go to America is a big deal to them. Look at Moa interview on hot wave. She mentioned she visited America and said that it's the country she has to mention first.

>>13162813
I really hate all the senseless Puritanical bullshit that Americans impose on imports. Makes fandubs far superior to official dubs because official dubs cave into American ideals and values while changing references around and even getting rid of entire episodes.

Tl;dr: Fuck certain Americans for ruining imports, I hated that shit when I was a kid so don't fucking dare speak for "the children".

>>13162865
As an American I'd love to believe that but this is just two people saying his verse the rest of the internet saying how xenophobic they are and ethnocentric. That being said, I'm sure Babymetal and crew have a positive view of America. I just don't think the fans care either way.

>said that it's the country she has to mention first.

What do you mean by this

>>13162882
I was disappointed at how much moa failed, and airi did a good job on the cuban flag.

This is anecdotal, but my pen pal in Japan told me anti-American sentiment, which wasn't very high anyway, died down after the 2011 tsunami since most of the aid came from the US. She said anyone badmouthing America too much is frowned upon when it's still fresh in mind.

>Want to buy BabyMetal's music

That's when they're the actual guest, musical guests literally just perform a song

>>13162786
>You are underestimating the metal scene in japan.

I'd say you're over-estimating it or at least looking at it through nostalgia goggles.

X Japan once filled the Budokan, but that was 25 years ago, same with Metallica or Megadeth. They might headline Summer Sonic but there's no way that they're going to fill the Budokan or Saitama Super Arena as solo acts, Babymetal did, otherwise it's nothing but idols.

>Look at SNSD in their prime, they had fnas

Literally who and what

>>13162794
For sure, it's not 1999 with nu-metal at its peak so of course they or any other metal band aren't going to sell-out stadiums in murrica.

But for metal, the language barrier isn't a problem especially when most vocalists are incomprehensible even in English. The fact that they're Japanese is a strength and not a barrier, it adds a "exotic" element to people in Europe & the Americas.

>>13162965
America has always had a strong presense in Japan since WWII though. Our military is practically Japan's military, so I'm surprised they're surprised by that. US always tops the lists for foreign aid and donations anyway. South Korea was very generous with aid early on after the tsunami(probably the most generous behind US iirc?) but that didn't help relations much.

>>13162989
>>13162999
Fuck it, bought it for 20 bucks new.
They got a long of singles, almost bought them thinking they were full albums.

>>13162999
There are new copies. In fact they're cheaper than the used copies for some stupid reason.

>>13163000
They're not surprised, but the tsunami had everyone on high emotions.

>>13163023
How come South Korea's generosity was ignored though. Is their contention not overblown?

>>13163005
The singles are worth it too, most of them come with the audio-only tracks which is great if you want to learn how to play the songs by ear or have yourself a karaoke party or something, and you can also reverse & isolate the vocals and then mess around in FL Studio and try to mash it up with other metal songs.

Also, there's one tracks from their Kib of Akiba split EP that never made it on the album.

>>13163029
If that is true there's many things that could explain it, I'm not sure it's a discussion for this thread.

>>13162965

>>13163047

>captcha: ounig

>>13163144
This is the first LE I really, really want. I just don't wanna pay a membership fee just for that, especially since it's still not guaranteed to be available for all members.

>>13163166
The wording was pretty vague about the availability, but this better not be a fucking fiasco like those autographed SG posters or I'll be really pissed. I'll spend many hours just looking myself up in the crowd shots.

>mfw I bought Budocan basically for the Black Night CD itself
>mfw I don't even care that much for the neckbrace, plastic brick keychains, or the fucking xbox-hueg can itself which I have no space to store

It looks pretty cool tho. And of course I'd get the Budokan blu-ray anyway, but I wish I could just get the Black Night CD on its own.

>>13163179
I don't think there is much they could do about the SG thing. Even so, I'm sure they had no idea it would sell so fast and the girls can only do so many autographs. I'm just happy for how happy I'm sure it made them.

>>13163187
But yea, I don't care much for the Budocan extras. I'm also not a big fan of the goodies that come with the VIP ticket I have for the upcoming tour but I only got it for early entry since I won't wait in line. That shit is soulless.

The WT LE is great though. I'm hoping there is some behind the scenes footage. That needs to become a staple of the DVDs. I'm hoping they are sitting on a whole bunch of behind the scenes footage that they plan on releasing one day.

>>13163187
Eh, I wonder if they even knew about it. Or were they actually told about it during the open class thing and reacted to it? I haven't had time or patience to watch it.

I don't care too much about SG so I'm only slightly pissed off about the posters since chances were low I'd get Moa or Yui, but with the 7 day sale period I'd think they would last more than a fucking minute.

>>13163212
Well I'm sure they know about it by now lol but yes, I'm sure they were told as soon as possible that their shit sold out in seconds.

>>13163240
It's not like we'll ever know, but I sometimes wonder if idols are ever informed about any business-related stuff, beyond the obvious "you got the Grand Prize from X, now go make a speech to the camera".

>captcha: anose

>>13163278
You're kidding right? Why would they even withhold that kind of info? It's not like they can't easily find out on their own anyway.

>>13163283
Not withhold, but just not bother them with info that's not really relevant to their daily routine of rehearsals, recording shows, and still attending school. And I doubt they would go out and seek that info on their own either, since it's probably only mentioned on places like 2ch.

>yfw Koba lurks this thread

>>13163304
You think they don't want to tell the girls really good news?

>>13163320
It would be nice, but thinking from the business point of view, it's not really necessary. I don't know how being an idol works when it comes to details like this. Probably depends on the agency too. But we'll never find out unless we become talented little Japanese girls.

>>13163332
Dude, they tell them, and they have to go into the business aspect with their parents. You act as if they keep them locked in cells and let them out whenever they have an event.

>>13163283
Remember that these girls found out about their tour venue ON STAGE together with the audience.

They didn't even know they were going on a world tour. They found out like everyone else in Budokan. Nor did they know they were going back to London.

This is the sad truth about the idol business in Japan. The girls are just commodities. They do what they are told. Babymetal was formed because Amuse told them to sing Doki Doki Morning.

>>13163346
>they tell them
What proof do we have?

>they have to go into the business aspect with their parents
Probably very rarely beyond signing of the original contract which sets out what cut of the profits they will be getting. Or what their salary will be, in which case Babymetals got really fucked over considering they Amuse is now raking cash with them.

>You act as if they keep them locked in cells and let them out whenever they have an event.
I'm not saying it's this extreme, but we know literally nothing of the inner workings of the agency. In some earlier thread people were stating that Amuse is an amazing agency to their artists as if it was a fact. Perhaps it is, but we have zero proof of that. People were saying the same about UpFront/HelloPro, but again, no proof. And then people shit on AKS about how exploitative it is and spews out used up porn actresses, but again we know nothing about it. Most of this speculation is just people's wishful thinking mixed with extrapolation of the general public perception of the idols from a given agency. But all we get to see is what they want us to see, aka the product that the idols (that is the human beings we see prancing on the stage) are an ingredient of.

Don't mean to be negative or dismissing here, I'm honestly happy for them that their stuff is selling out in a blink, but I'm just being realistic in terms of how show business is ran.

>>13163371
Income tax in Japan is public. Journalists calculate artistes salary yearly and we do know that idols are paid shit compared to their overseas counterparts.

>>13163384
I saw some of those calculations for Morning Musume members, but that was like 10 years ago. Do you have a source on any Amuse-related ones?

You guys are nuts lol there is only good that comes from notifying an artist that they've sold out. "Hey guys, here is some encouragement, and some reaffirmation that what you're doing is worth it!" To not tell them would be shady.

You are citing that they found out at the last second they would be doing a new show but you don't think that could be a manufactured response(only the Fox God knows)? They play dumb about everything behind the scenes when doing Babymetal related things. Trust me, we are the ones who are being withheld information, not them. And it's hilarious to think any swinging dick in a 3rd world country can know this information but the actual artist has no idea. Come on now.

And Amuse is not an idol agency, they are a talent agency so they don't operate specifically for idols.

>>13163405
Still nothing but your wishful thinking, extrapolation and imagination.

No disrespect meant, but you don't know shit about how they operate their business, and neither do I or the other anon.

>>13163405
It's not witholding information from them on purpose. It's just that the agency didn't inform them or see a need to.

Doing a simple google search on articles and interviews written by idols who retired would have given you a clearer picture on how the Japanese industry works.

You think it's ridiculous and everything is manufactured but it's actually the norm in Japan.

>>13163425
I think something like selling out is something logical that all artists would be told. There is no good reason to withhold the information and to argue against it is plain cynical and illogical. It's wildly retarded to think we all know this on the other side of earth but the actual artists don't. Absolutely positively wildly retarded.

>>13163430
We are talking about album sales. There is no good reason to withhold the info, and every good reason to tell them. You are comparing stereotypes to a group developed by a talent agency who follows a more western model, as can be seen by the international success of BM, Perfume, and One OK Rock that other agencies can't achieve.

Suzua at the CD 2015 thing a few days ago looked confused. The entire time she looked like she didn't know what to do or say at all. She just stood there with the plaque and it felt like she wanted to talk but thought not to the entire time.

I hope the company gives Suzua more power just because she can actually sing and is overtaking SG easily.

>>13163482
She didn't look lost at all. She actually had one of her best appearances in years, did you see her speech?

>>13163482
did you watch all the other people awarded? it was at least the same

>>13163482
dude. that's just Su's face. The only time she doesn't look lost is when she's singing.

>>13163527
Extremely relevant.

This is just your opinion.

This is just your opinion.

>Absolutely positively wildly retarded.
Yeah.

Now I'm not saying I disagree with your opinion. In fact, I do agree with the gist of it. But the difference between you and I is that I realize my opinion isn't worth its weight in shit because I don't work for or at Amuse and I'm only a consumer of their products who isn't privy to their inner workings.

As for knowing facts that the idols themselves probably don't, consider the fact that I'm a tech-savvy male with too much time on my hands to browse obscure forums and follow every info published about them with something bordering on a slight obsession. And probably so are you and most of the posters in this thread.

Case in point, did you ever wonder what do idols touring overseas think when after a long-haul flight they are greeted at the airport by a bunch of rabid fans, when to their best knowledge the details of their flight has not been made public knowledge?

Oh, and it's been a nice discussion, I'll carry on in the morning if there's anything to add.

>>13163548
Of course there is no proof of it. It's logic. You are just being very cynical and you keep citing idol groups. Amuse isn't an idol agency.

For all practical purposes SG and its offshoots are being managed as idol groups. And business is cynical, show-business especially so.

>>13163614
Business is cynical. Withholding good news from your artists is tinfoil level conspiracy.

>>13163493
Watch again. She walks out to the song, the damn microphone was too high for her and she kept looking around like she was looking for someone to tell her what to do. When she got the plague or when there was no one talking it looked like she wanted to start talking but kept her mouth shut till someone began talking agian.

>>13163527
I've seen Su's face plenty of times and when she's in these type of sitatuations she at least knows how to talk with the host. In the CD2015 it's like she was getting an award and no one told her what the damn award was for.

>>13163722
You're looking too much into it. She always acts like that. It wasn't a typical acceptance speech, it was practically an interview. You seriously believe they just threw her out there and didn't tell her anything. Seriously. Seriously.

>>13163765
Nah. It's gonna appear on the next Babymetal DVD. They told her she won best costume award and threw her up there.

You can't say a group is completely manufactured and then say they aren't told anything. If anything, a manufactured group that displays a manufactured image has to be more informed than a non-manufactured one. They are coached on these things.

Does anyone have a clearer version of this?

>>13163765
I'm not the guy saying they just throw idols at award shows and on the drive over they tell them what the award is for. But it is weird how Su just stood there with that deer staring at headlights look.

Most of the interviews she does she takes charge and talks decently well. This she's just there standing...honestly I'd have expected that more from Yui and Moa than Suzuka.

>>13164135
Dude this was one of the least awkward appearances from BM since they were younger. Just look at this interview to see how she acts. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1TjZuwtUH14

There was nothing awkward about the CDJapan award. They obviously let her know what to do when she came out. She came out and stood there for people to take pictures, then she waited to be asked questions.

>>13164135
oh god, watch the entire show

>>13164122

Moa is the best at handling interviews easily. Discounting the BM interviews within the last year, she is always the most talkative and most funny. Su is just always really polite and soft spoken, gives run of the mill safe answers. Yui couldn't handle it on her own. LoGiRL made me realize she is all about pre-determined lines. Looking back at other old interviews she messes up a lot of times and says lines too early or hesitates when it's her turn to talk because she's not sure if she's supposed to talk yet.

>>13164255
>>13164122

>Okay girls, now smile! Yui, you too, no? Eh whatever.

Seriously what happened to her

>>13164280
>Moa is the best at handling interviews easily.

Obviously I'm biased, but yes, yes that is true.

It was true even back in 2012, 10 years ago

>>13164331
Between Moa and Yui, i'm on the Yui team but I have to admit that Moa is a natural in interviews. Even when she was still in grade school.

Moa is a natural idol.

>>13164255
Thanks! I forgot to ask where this is from.

>>13164301
Thats why I like this picture. It's Yui's face. Her squishing her cheeks against Moa made me lol. I would love to have this as a poster if I could.

>>13164347
She and Ayami clearly stand out above the rest in that regard.

>>13164363
And she's really good at appealing to her fans. It's as though she knows what they want. I always notice the way she looks the crowd when she's performing.

Maybe that's why I'm on the Yui team. That quiet little thing.

Su just want to sing
Yui just want to dance
Moa just wanna party

>>13164381

some weird phone game

>>13164469
>weird

Like "pregnant Elsa surgery" and "spank Dora The Explorer" weird? Or just some rhythm game or something

>>13164331
>>13164347
I still find the little interview thing where they are saying Doki Doki Morning and bow then Yui keeps talking and immediately turns to Suzuka because no one else was talking cute as hell.

Spreadsheet is back up.

Here's some new Su.

Everyone jokes that Su is the airhead but the real airhead is Yui

>>13164853
are there any subs to what they were asking her?

>>13164852
Wow, look at her she doen't know where she is
damn she doen't even knows what she's holding

>>13164852
it'll be a sad day when they finally change the outfit
