Ohhhh shit. Babymetal had a female Kami member on violin for a time.

Good night Moa.

My Road to Graduation Final 2013 DVD just arrived with some other merchandise. The DVD box comes with a small photobook which would be easy to scan. I'll put it up in a day or two.

I keep forgetting to sort out my clusterfuck situation with tenso... I'll have to remember to sort it after work today. I need to throw major shekels at asmart.

>>13602184
Ironic Moaposting is still Moaposting post more Moas pls

I still have a few high-res pictures

>>13602265

>>13602231
What's the clusterfuck? I can help you with it if you want.

>>13602284

It's just that the address I want shipping to is different to the one on all my proof of ID... I can get shipping to my ID address (as my nan lives there). It's just means me having to ride 30mins to grab stuff (and I don't like asking her to wait around for packaged and shit because she is old).

I basically have to make a new account to ship to my nans house, or update all my fucking licences etc. to get the shipping address to my current place.

Probably going to just suck it up and make a new account, then change the address once I've purchased some stuff and proved I'm not dodgy or whatever.

>>13602324
Tenso holds your stuff for up to 60 days so you can make your orders from asmart and have them at your tenso address while you verify your IDs.

The best way to go about this is using a utility bill with your name on it for your address and some other photo ID without your address like your UK citizenship card or something.

>>13602359

Ah, I thought it had to be a government based ID like a passport/driving licence...

I'll send them an email with a utility and my passport or something to get things rolling. I was reluctant to order till it was sorted in case my stuff got lost or thrown out or something...

Ugliest makeup in Babymetal history.

The makeup in this shoot was way nicer.

>>13602463
and that's all I have I'm pretty sure, I thought there was another pic of goth Yui but I can't find it

>>13602448

The only thing I like about that is the bodice on Su's dress. Needs more Su in nice dresses to show off her perfect slender frame.

>>13602484
I remember taking this screenshot a few months ago with the intention of pointing out Yui's shirt but it's always been used for Su's 絶対領域.

>>13602466
I kind of liked it, only really because it was nothing like anything else they had done or have really done since, kind of. They looked like techno-goths or something.

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

The make-up for the headbanger video and related photoshoots was also very over the top.

>The makeup in this shoot was way nicer.

Agreed. Best make-up is very minimal make-up.

>>13602454
>>13602448
I sort found the source at least, some magazine scan

You receive a letter in the mail, it is from the estate of your great-great half-uncle who recently passed away.

Through a series of mishaps, shenanigans, and unlikelihood, the Babymetal brand now belongs to you and you alone.

Because of even more mishaps, shenanigans, and unlikelihood, everyone in Babymetal has now quit the project. The three girls, Koba, their choreographer, the Kami band, Yuyoyuppe and the song-writers: all gone.

You now have a chance to re-launch Babymetal. Who do you choose as new members? It can be anyone from the Japanese music industry and some Westerners as well if you think that's what is best, obviously singers can be taught to dance and dancers can be taught to sing, etc.

Would you keep the same Babymetal formula, or make it something radically different?

>>13602556
I think the real question is SHOULD you do any of that shit? Waifufriends will likely revolt and boycott any sort of new Babymetal, if not showing up at shows only to pelt them with Tomatoes and Hamburgers.

But, on the other hand.....

Konomi Suzuki on main vocals
ClariS on backup vocals/black babymetal
Gacharic Spin as Kami Band so Babymetal is all-female
A dozen Babybone female backup dancers on stage at all times
Maximum The Hormone as main song-writers because muh real metal

We have fought long and hard wars in the past on the same side and have come out on top. /bmsg/ suffered countless casualties in The Warring Era, as we were reduced to less than half of our population at one point. After reconciliation and reconstruction with the survivors we were able to bring /bmsg/ into a new golden age unparalleled in our history.

The YuiAmi Empire seeks continued peace and prosperity for /bmsg/. We believe your warmongering has become an issue of global prominence and it will not be tolerated. I'm afraid as of now our alliance is considered officially dissolved.

Should you wish to change your ways our proposal remains on the table indefinitely.

>>13602966
Yuimato's done more for the general and yet he's not bugging everyone to watch him suck his own dick. You and the Moa trip are nearly equal in suckage, but at least that faggot doesn't roleplay like he's the god of faggots.

>>13602966
at least wait until moatrip starts being a faggot or something before doing this. shitposting while he is acting normal and contributing stuff only serves to make him look better, and you look worse. even to people who would otherwise be on your side.

>>13603741
The surprise part is lacking.

>>13603778
I gotta say I've been noticing lately that sometimes one of them will have the same answer as another in a separate interview though. In this one, Su said she wants to wake up on her own, and Moa has said that plenty of times. Then in the recent interview, Moa said she wants to collaborate with Taro Hakase which Su has said recently. Makes you wonder how much is fabricated, although they could just be really close and hivemindish.

>>13603782
yuimato streams his dick That would be a good surprise

>>13603790
Su said something about One Direction too in some interview. Call bullshit tbh.

>>13603790
That could be, but I've taken things my friends have said and repeated it just like that if I think it's a good idea. It's embarrassing if I forget the person I'm telling it to is the one I took it from.

>>13603797
She did? I don't recall. I always thought the yui tomato thing was either fabricated or exaggerated too. Seems like the same thing is happening with soyoka and lemons now. And same with moa and burgers too I guess but that's not as associated with her as the others are with foods.

I had a strange dream today. I was actually Moa and after dance practice went to a shady bar and arm wrestled a bunch of men. I won against all of them because they underestimated me, because, well I'm a little japanese girl. But I have guns made of steel and managed to defeat opponents that were way bigger than me.

New video clip from Metal Hammer on fb of Moa talking about Golden Gods. They also officially address a detractor in the comments.

Well, don't neglict the fact that the front row will be almost only be composed of peoples ready to buy the VIP ticket. Don't know if there are a lot around Europa. (Can seem a bit expensive when you "just" have to come a few hours before the show and use the pit to get a place at the third row even before the end of the first song).

>Babymetal x Kiba of Akiba second collaboration when?

Hopefully soon. If Bebimeta aren't like, too big and important to collaborate with local Japanese acts again. KoA also wrote the intro for the anime Watamote so they've got that extra otaku-street cred. Seems like the perfect match for Babymetal's audience. could it also be that maybe they're one of the NameMetal producers?

>>13606065
I routinely post there (by the way some kind anon uploaded an album of Taro Hakase) and the thread is calm and slow because it's all about the music. There's no weird roleplaying or waifu politics or meta discussion about the fandom of whichever group or band or dank memes or using the thread as one's one erotic personal blog or anything like that.

>>13606046
I don't see how lumping us in with the vag pic dude (assuming he doesn't also post here) is going to do anyone any good.

Yes, i was soaking wet. And no.

Sometimes some people like to have "fun" for their own sake at the expense of the quality of the thread, luckily that isn't the case in the jp music thread. It's simply about music and that's plenty of fun in itself.

That's odd. Also odd that they would consider playing it for what looks like their smallest venue to date.

>>13606400
I don't think they considered playing it there. They're just practicing it whenever they can.

Yui said they had a surprise for Italy, and no one heard them play it at any other show other than the one where they unveiled it. People also said they heard a new song.

It's crazy. I often wonder if they get tired of playing the same songs so many times. They seem to be enjoying themselves more than ever this tour though. A far cry from last year.

>>13606884
>I often wonder if they get tired of playing the same songs so many times.

I doubt it it, they're not like tired old metal bands that are doomed forever to play their one good album or that one song that made them popular in the first place. Kami Band has their own bands and project as creative outlets and for the girls it's literally the best thing that's ever happened to them in their short lives, actually same for the Kami Band.

>They seem to be enjoying themselves more than ever this tour though.

Exactly. They have the choreography and everything nailed down so it's like second nature by now, and they have nowhere to go but up while exploring strange and exotic places like Italy and Ohio.

Translated live report of France show
http://www.reddit.com/r/BABYMETAL/comments/38or94/venue_report_la_laiterie_france_1st_of_june_2015/

Highlights:
>Special mention to Moa who illuminated the scene with her performance ! Not that her two friends are unworthy, far from that, but Moa outclassed them! You can clearly see that she's happy to be here, she gives us 3 times more, giving everything while playing with her facial expressions. Everything is here, grins, big eyes and of course a smile from ear to ear, she is so expressive that we have the feeling that she has twice more facial muscles than us mortal, and all that being natural, of course.

>Then comes the turn of Boh who saw his performance going into posterity thanks to a fan that went topless, showing the blaze of the 6 strings bald-headed painted over a pair of breasts. And when it comes from THE beauty of the audience, he can only wave at her to thank her, imitating the other guitarists who weren't immune to the thing. The guy even gave it a hint on Twitter, and he can be happy, a session musician that has a dediboobs, it's not that often.

Boh tweet about the situation:

>Fans enjoy differently in different countries. What is appropriate in your country is not appropriate in a different country. What is appropriate for you is not appropriate for someone else. I think different opinions and thoughts make our lives enjoyable. What's socially acceptable or what's not is different among people. I am not asking you to accept all different social norms of what accepted behaviors at a concert should be, but I am sure you grown-ups can relate!

Other than that a rave review all around(except sound of course), he also reviewed the Paris show last year and said it was his in his top 5 gigs all time and he's reviewed/been to countless.

Oh, no way. How did you find that out? Without metal cred from their origins I can't like them anymore. What a bummer. I guess that's the end of the general thanks to your fine detective skills.

>>13608022
I don't give a damn about 'cred' but liking such openly manufactured 'for profit' art is pretty poor taste and you should feel ashamed of yourself for enabling it.

>>13608032
This is /jp/. You were looking for /mu/, I take it.

>>13608034
That's pretty disparaging of /jp/'s taste.

Oh shit you were serious,
And I thought that was impossible on this precise site

>>13607996
Literally no one is born knowing what metal is. They discover it sooner or later. Ultimately it doesn't matter if it's through your manager or cool uncle or some viral video.

Babymetal was formed as a subunit when the girls were like 11 and 12 years old. Discovering metal when you're 11 years old is actually pretty commendable. I've been a metalhead for most of my life and at that age I was still listening to whatever was spoon-fed to me on the radio, mostly pop

>>13608032
Most of the food I eat was produced for profit but I'm still going to eat it.

>>13608034
Ironic because some people would like to move this to /mu/

>>13608045
So a media corporation found a bunch of girls marketable as masturbation material to fat autistic wapanese paedophiles and told them to play metal because the aforementioned group has significant overlap with metalheads. You think quality art can come from this?

>>13608032

'Legitimate' bands:
>Band formed through band members
>Produces music _they_ think sounds good
>Get signed, make money, continue (hopefully) producing music to the tastes of the band

Babymetal (etc.):
>Teen idol (pornography) company sees a gap in the market
>Puts together a group of 'idols' to dance and mime as audience-tested music made by professional technicians is played
>Rinse and repeat

I hope I make myself clear with this. What you're listening to is a facsimile of artistic expression.

Don't forget to post pics guise.

>>13608061
It's actually, on paper, a very poor decision to mix metal with j-pop because it brings out extremists like you and that other dude in the video.

The fact that they didn't become popular for years is proof of that, for a while it WAS just a novelty and it didn't really go anywhere.

It wasn't until that they brought actual musicians into the mix that they became popular.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU3ECUzUlfc

If you don't think this is metal then you can shut the fuck off and listen to Corey Taylor being sad.

>>13608145
Oh it absolutely is heavy metal. All the characteristics are there. I'm not saying it's not metal; I'm saying it's not an expression of emotion (art, if you will).

>>13608106
'Legitimate' bands:
- Formed in their mother's garage
- Produces music that makes them seem hardkore and trve
- Get signed, make money, and continue playing the same album until all the band members die from old age

Babymetal (etc.):
- Idol company puts together a group of talented, experienced girls to dance and sing
- Hire extremely talented musicians to play music professionally produced by people that have been listening to that genre for decades

It works both ways :^)

Also who are you quoting?

>>13608106
>a gap in the market

There was no gap ever or demand for "j-pop meets metal", Amuse took a huge gamble.

The fact that both the live band and the songwriters are veterans of the metal and rock scene, and play music that _they_ think is good, negates whatever "commercialism" you might think they have.

They've received support from some of the biggest names in metal history from Rob Halford to Jeff Walker and are only two degrees of separation from Megadeth, so what now?

>>13608168
They could have been personally endorsed by satan that doesn't make the sounds produced for them into art (though in this case it would be pretty close).

>>13608106
Well, this isn't /mu/. This is the land of idols. Everyone has watched the girls grow up in Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal and seen their artistic talent. There's more to it than you'll ever admit.

Also, a few of the songs had creative input from the girls. ４の歌 was made up by Yui and Moa for example.

>>13608159
>an expression of emotion (art, if you will)
Pretentious, if you will.

>>13608159
>I'm saying it's not an expression of emotion

It expresses everything from teenage anxiety to female empowerment.

>>13608186
Preferring sincere expression of emotion is pretentious now?

>>13608191
Your wording is pretentious. Don't play dumb.

>>13608191
'Being a teen on stage performing a routine' is not the same as crafting a piece of music (whether as a teen or not) about teenage anxiety.

Do tell me though, what do you like in Babymetal?

>>13608203
meant for >>13608189

>>13608203
Not all songwriters are singers or musicians. Not all musicians or singers are songwriters.

Besides, the "sincerity" of the emotions in the music is in the eyes (or ears, technically) of the beholder :^) Is that not what art is?

>>13608217
>Besides, the "sincerity" of the emotions in the music is in the eyes (or ears, technically) of the beholder :^)

No.

>>13608203
Plus, if young performers recreate the works of Shakespeare or Chopin, even if they didn't write the words or notes themselves, would you still criticise them for being "fake"?

>>13608253
No, because the technicians who play those pieces aren't advertised as being the artists. Their artistic expression is in the minutia of their performance.

>>13608129
Putting something milk, white and bitter over hana's face~

I bet pretentiousfag's mom loves his endless lectures on the expression of truemoshuns, or art if you will.

>>13608226
Yes, yes it is. It's the person listening to the music that feels emotion or not, that's how art works.

You can't go up to someone and be like STOP STOOOOOOP YOU'RE FEELING YOUR EMOTIONS INAPPROPRIATELY, LISTEN TO WHAT I THINK IS INTERESTING INSTEAD AND WILL FEEL NOTHING FOR!

One man's graffiti is another man's Van Gogh

>>13608303
I don't know about you but I find nothing sincere in the stage antics of Babymetal's members. It's trite, robotic and trained. It's metal music with cute girls plastered on top to market to the otaku metalhead crowd.

>>13608271
>the technicians who play those pieces aren't advertised as being the artists

Well in the sense that it's the Whatever Symphony Orchestra playing Chopin, they are being advertised.

They're not pretending to be the original composers though, same with Babymetal.

>>13608271
>>13608328
Nobody fucking cares. You are the epitome of stop liking what I don't like.

Here's the thing about idol culture. It's openly manufactured. They're open about it. It's highly documented. There's an honest and voyeuristic appeal. Everyone knows. There's talent, personality, and cuteness, and many other things that are part of it that make it interesting. You are asking people who are looking at this from an entirely different perspective to care about some bullshit about garage band singer-song writers. It's not art to you? Just merely entertainment? Good. Fine. Be on your way.

All artists train to perfect their art.

I'm not going to argue that them dancing around is equal to the Sistine Chapel, but it does add fun to a metal show.

GWAR has giant rubber monsters that spray blood and semen everywhere and they've spent decades practising that craft as stage antics and it's also great fun at a show.

Was in the mosh'sh for Bologna. It didn't feel as empty as that picture makes it look. But I guess we did have a fairly big space. There were at least 3 WoDs and 3 circle pits. Most fun I had was probably doing the headbangya routine in the middle of the pit (I swear Moa and Yui looked in the direction of the pit during it so there's a good chance my effort was appreciated). Also IDZ is no longer Wall of Death, RoR is Wall of Death and IDZ is 'Into the Pit' according to the kamishibai that played. During both.
