Remember that they go to real junior high schools when they aren't working. Japanese schools don't allow the students to deviate from the uniform in any way - no makeup, peircings, hair coloring or non-regulation clothes (it was the same for me in the UK).

I imagine Amuse wants to keep the group's appearance authentic to how they'd look in a real school.

>>15946123
Moa's girlfriend is very nice. I approve. Moa is beautiful. She looks a lot older than the last time we saw her like this.

>>15946514
Yui's lag at play, still hasn't hit her yet.

>>15946499
I love it, anon! So do the girls! Taking time out of their war to clap at this lovely picture that I'll be using as a background.

>>15946123
whos' the other girl si she really Moa gf

>>15946636
underrated post

>>15946123
Oh boy Moa's gonna get it when koba finds out!!!

>>15946636
Yes. She was introduced by Yuika.

So I'm in huge shock realizing that really was Moa. Makes me realize how Amuse strictness over them affects me. When the first person posted the picture I didn't pay attention too much (especially since I don't know who the other girl is) and was really confused because I knew it was Moa but it was a casual photo so I had to assume it was a similar looking girl. Now realized it was. Has it been deleted from the twitter account? Who is she?

>>15946651
detective anon... i found a twitaa that i suspect is moa roleplayning as a male fukei

>>15946658
>Amuse
lol

It actually makes me feel sad to see candid pictures of them. Seeing Moa like that made me realize how she's out there living a wonderful life and how theres probably some guy she likes, possibly even a boyfriend.. all while i sit here typing away on 4hcan rotting away the good years of my life...my ship is slowly sailing away..ill be even less desirable by women than i already am now.

Ill never have a real japanese waifu like moa..or su or yui...
heck ill probably never have any type of real waifu.

Why not all three?

>>15946709
Creamy Aiko

>>15946690
I wonder, though.
I've thought about it, and I've come to the conclusion that getting in a relationship with any Gaku isn't impossible. Marzia was a dumb pewdiepie fan, flew to sweden, and became his girlfriend. If one looks for and gets an occupation in japan, works on their appearance, and takes all info they can on where the gakus live, odds are you'll eventually meet one.
I actually believe this. The only thing that could stop this is if the girls dislike foreigners.

>>15946690
If you weren't born a cute girl, what's the point of even trying?

>>15946715
¡Ay, caramba!

Having to learn a whole new language seems pretty hard a task on its own.

Although you make a good point. It's not impossible. I think getting an idol girlfriend is not that hard, especially one of those underground ones from lesser known groups.

>>15946709
You can't have the Spicy Aiko without the Icy Aiko. They balance each other out.

>>15946744
I prefer it as well. At least half of her face is covered.

>>15946752
I've been learning japanese for 4 years now, and I wonder if i should try investigating job options in japan just because of this. I'd have no issue to moving to japan, but i know that working there is very tough.
Maybe one day, one day i'll be with a gaku and i'll tell her about all the /bmsg/ memes that took place here.

>>15946765
please teach me senpai.

where do i begin.

>>15946727
You need to think it further. This Marzia you say is also a YouTube personality, so they have a thing in common. Maybe become an actor, musician or something like that. Then try to make yourself part of her life (so you often meet her casually), likely through work or contacts in the industry. Then hope you're the type of person she likes. Someone is going to make it. But it's likely someone who gets there without even trying: it just happened to be where he ended up by chance choices.

>>15946720
because nobody could handle the power of 3 Aikos.

>>15946727
This thread is going to be so fun once we all get our own gaku girlfriends. We can all go on dates together and meme about each other's gfs behind their backs.

>>15946775
Learn Hiragana and Katakana on your own time, get yourself a shitty manual with the basics on it. while watching logirls or anime (if you watch any), try to pick up as many phrases and vocab as possible.
when you've got as much knowledge as you can this way, look for any course that might be held in your area. Once you're taking classes, all you have to do is study avidly, sign up for the proficiency test in december when you feel confident enough.

>>15946778
She became a youtube personality by consequence of getting with Felix and being in his video, i think.

>>15946775
I started by watching untranslated idol shows and listening for words or phrases that stood out. Then I'd just go to google translate, type the words in to see what they mean and wrote it down in a notebook. That taught me a bunch of words.

From there I had an easier time doing actual japanese learning courses online because I could concentrate on learning the grammar and sentence structure instead of trying to learn definitions and grammar at the same time.

>>15946802
Huh, if that's right then it really is a freak chance that they clicked.

>>15946754
Who is the girl behind Aiko? and also who's the girl pointing at her?

>>15946727
>The only thing that could stop this is if the girls dislike foreigners
You now remember Hana actually likes mexicans and Moa might be mexiboo

>>15946766
Still waiting on that day myself.

>>15946829
I don't know if i could handle being with hana though. Too perfect.

>>15946786
I call dibs on Sara then, by the time im done learning Japanese she will be like 19-20 years old.

>>15946803
I actually do this . I have like 1 tb of raw idol shows like HKT Odekake and all the Nogizaka stuff and I just wait around for softsubs. But i still look at them untranslated while i wait.

I know a lot of words actually but thats it..just words..i wont understand phrases.

i be scoring perfect scores on some of these games

I hope moa likes burritos and tamales i could get mi tia to make her some.

>>15946829

What?

>>15946786
Whoever gets with Shirai is going to have their messages flooded with questions about how many YWNs he broke

>>15946778
This 'just do it ganbate' thinking feels so familiar

>>15946853
She's a wrestling fan. Of course she likes Mexicans.

>>15946860
Woah is that tomatoturk

>>15946853
she said this guy was handsome on the njpw show

>>15946123
Just imagine all the anecdotes she told her about
"At one point i got off the tourbus for just a minute, and there was this big fat neck beard looking right at me! i was scared to death"
"i can imagine"

>>15946879
So Hana would be toughest catch. Not only will you need to learn Japanese but be Mexican or Mexican lookin and learn to be a wrestler..and not just any type but that crazy high flying lucha libre shit.

>>15946827
Ooga is pointing and Kano is behind Aiko.

>>15946896

>Casual Moa

They're all such natural beauties and it's a crime that we don't get to see them outside of Babymetal more often.

>>15948346
>>15948309

If Koba weren't so autistic with his fox god westaboo nonsense we could have had the best of both worlds.


He could have even spinned some bullshit about how the girls turn "metal" when they put on their outfits and are otherwise normal idol girls, like some sort of power rangers.

>>15948360
that's just wishful thinking anon

>>15946879
Hana husbandos are having a rough day with this news, I know at least one anon here is losing his shit
he gets angry just if I post God

>>15948363
and that's all I have

>>15948360
That's already established lore. They acknowledge the distinction between their normal selves and their metal selves. They become their metal selves on stage with the power of the Fox God.

But this Twitter nonsense is more than likely beyond Koba's control and his opinion doesn't matter. Amuse and their parents overrule him. And as long as they keep agreeing to contract renewals, the girls themselves are consenting to the strict social media rules.

>>15946924
I met him and talked to him some, based fucking German bro.

>>15946924
Isn't quite the usual etiquette to let smaller people especially girils to go to the front rows ? Assuming obviously that they are aware that there's gonna be some pushing from behind.

>>15948611
Man tbqh even if you let them up there they might lose the spot anyway. It's not a pop concert, those front rows are a sardine fest and people are pushing

>>15948621
I mean, I saw pretty regularly girls that are like 1,50m in the middle of the moshpit that are even crazier than your average male fan.

And I'm talking about idols concert that are even crazier than Babymetal in term of people litteraly climbing on you . On the other that's true that you don't have the pressure of ~5k behind you.

Again, I can't see how you can "reproch" to small peoples to try to get to the front if they're ready to "hold their line".

>>15948611
As long as the whole front row isn't all view blockers I guess it's fine. (just a tad annoying for people directly behind) Lol imagine going to your first concert and everyone front row is 6'4+

>>15948587
People thought that once they were 18 it would happen where they can be themselves. Judging by Su though the secrecy stays unfortunately.
>Years later. Girls are 24/23. Interviewer asks question. "Only the, Fox God knows!"

>>15948642
True it kind of depends, if I'm waiting all day in line I'll be kind of greedy, especially friendfags. Those people who bring like 3 or more people with them and they want to stay together, fuck them.
I've only had 1 Babymetal concert though, I've let shorter people in at other concerts though. Does feel bad to be blocking anybodys view, it's a tough line really between protecting your spot and not ruining someone elses good time

>>15948681
I'm not talking about letting people all their way to the front after doing 5 hours of line. It's just than, personnaly, it don't bother me to let one people than stand directly behind pass in front when I'm like 30cm taller than him.

>>15948666
Nobody thought that. Japanese adulthood is at 20, not 18.

>being a filthy kobapologist
Amuse don't seem to have a policy on Twitter, otherwise they would for sure forbid accounts for minors, or force all their talents to have 1 Marina twitaa when?, is also noticeable how everyone have freedom on how to post: Hinata showing skin every day, Raura mostly talking about work, Yuno with her photography hobby. Obviously there must be security and don't-ruin-your-image guidelines but that's all. They don't even spend 5 minutes making an @Ayaka_staff despite being one of their big names.

It is very silly to imply in any form that Kei "I have to protect my Disney universe at any cost" Kobayashi is not to blame for the blackout when he makes it clear every tour how much he cares about the "a real band" image, he even talked openly about this obsession to Metal Hammer.

>their fathers
There's no real reason to blame them for the blackout - wasn't Yui's mom herself who took that picture with TempuraK?- besides Moamom, I doubt she has any power over Su and Yui, and her prohibition was about Moa owning accounts, I'm pretty sure Moamom is not to blame for the censorship of this video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46oyko nor for #大人的事情

>>15950633
anondamus' post makes me very, very sad.
Moa getting mentioned in megu's last diary lit a spark of hope in me, of BM relating to SG once more one day, but Koba seems to be very opposed to it.
I've also stopped fantasizing about "2010-2011 nendo renunion live" because at this point in just makes me sad

>>15950626
Not him, but you also have Death Rabbits who perform as many if not more shows a year than Babymetal, with a comparable discography, and who also have twitter accounts.


The accounts are semi-personal, semi-professional. The girls tweet about their homework and post selfies at the mall, but they also promote tour dates and singles, etc.


Koba's notion of a "real band" is extremely misguided. Even people like the singer from Slipknot post selfies on twitter and have fun on social media. It's not a big deal so idk why he's so autistic about it. It would bring more to the band and the brand rather than take away from it.

Babymetal will never collaborate with Galneryus.
Su will never have a power ballad duet with this top notch guy.

>>15951346
Forget about that. Babymetal will never collaborate with Sakura Gakuin
;_;

>>15951311
DR finds its appeal in its JP audience mostly, therefore there's no issue with them posting cute girl selfies, what makes BM a lot more succesful is the appeal they find in the western audience, and so as to not be dismissed, they have to seem as legitimate as possible.
If metal elitists or other kinds of skeptics watched a performance of RoR and then checked any BM girl's twitter to see them talking about Love live figurines and other cutesie stuff, the most common judgement would be "They're just paid actresses, it's artificial", which is already a complaint now.
Koba knows how to handle an open minded, or Idol-minded audience, that's not what he needs though, his ambition is to make BM look plausible to skeptic western audiences, therefore he has to avoid any kind of dissonance between presentation and cast.
I don't approve of how Koba is handling this, but i do see his reasoning. It's worked so far.

>>15951309
they all were 16 but yui looks 12 and the other 25

>>15951311
>This guy talking about Yui ever going away
I say we jump the shit out of him tbqh. Beat the metalfaggot out of him and kick his ass so hard he wakes up a clean cut wall street businessman

>>15951372
The dissonance is the whole thing that got Babymetal attention in the first place.

>>15950633
He doesn't have that much control. You're blinded by hatred. Whether or not he's for it is beside the point.

Why don't the Perfumes have accounts? Is that Koba too?

>>15951372
but they're past that stage though, anyone who is a tr00 metalhead isn't into Babymetal, and it's not some "Metallica-san are who inspired us to join Sakura Gakuin and Cannibal Corpse is our favorite band this week" interviews that's going to change that.

Babymetal found its fanbase, the fanbase cares less about metal culture, only Koba does, it's waifu worshipping like any other idol group.

That "look plausible to western audiences" stage was him testing the waters in 2014. They're way past that now.


If some metalcore straight edge kid or some satanic Burzum-listening 30 year old man was on the fence about Babymetal in 2014, Karate and Road of Resistance is certainly not going to win them over.

Let the Babymetal fans get more of their babies. Open up the metallica cage!

hey I know this is off topic but tfw

>>15951372
lol i knew what was i about to read just by reading the first 7 words

>what makes BM a lot more succesful is the appeal they find in the western audience
no, they were more successful back in 2013 before coming to the west than all the kawaiimetal groups combined today
>which is already a complaint now.
yeah, because is impossible to hide the real girls, not event the most delusional fan believes they are bat-eating metal fans, we all know they are next dor girls
>his ambition is to make BM look plausible to skeptic western audiences
skeptic to what? are you saying he actually believes we westerns do not accept the fact they are normal girls performing on a metal band and we rather believe they are avid metalheads under that foggy mystery?

>>15951372
>Which is already a complaint now.

In fact this reminds me how Koba and the girls acknowledged they were aware of the hate in an interview. He knows they'll never be accepted by some. Who gives a f about their "legitimacy." They aren't a metal band they're babymetal. The true supporters know them for real, and are the ones that buy their overpriced merch. Fans just see this as a huge annoyance and ironically kind of like an actual manufactured type thing were we only get "Only the Fox God knows" and metal cage memes.

>>15951424
>tfw you mentioned Metallica cage and babymetal metal fag stubbornness before I posted my reply. High five anon

>>15949314
This is something to consider. At this point, they've already renegotiated and renewed contracts. For all we know, the girls could prefer to have this level of privacy, especially now.

>>15951421
Re-read my first paragraph.

>He doesn't have that much control
Go and say that to Yuyoyuppe

>>15951456
>Hey Moa is it cool if I take some pictures of us on our date and put them on twitter

>no respect my privacy pls

>haha whatevs

>>15951469
I'm talking about having public personal accounts in general.

>>15951453
>my reply

whose reply? What were you going to say?

>>15951456
>have this level of privacy
they all could decide what to post/say or what to not, nobody is asking amuse to force them to post a picture every day
>For all we know
we don't, it's just wishful thinking

>>15951482

lmao

>>15951480
Yeah but dude she willingly posed for public twitter pictures. If she wanted her privacy so much....

>>15951482
3 replies under yours. You said exactly what I did but better.

>>15951404
>>15951424
>>15951441
>>15951444
You're all right, i'm on your side. I too believe that his approach isn't the correct one as of now, however, because his approach as a reason to be as it is, and because BM's popularity will grow regardless of Koba's no fun efforts, he has no reason to believe that he is doing something wrong.
Unless the core fanbase makes its opinions clear, Koba will cater to the yahoos that play Karate from spotify at parties, and ignore the loyal fan that gives them the most support, and revenue.

>>15951468
I did. There's a pattern of control with Amuse. Babymetal and Perfume are precious to them, so they get tighter control.

Over the music? No shit.

>>15951504
Well, all we know is that the girls aren't allowed social media, we don't know other specifics of their contract, so maybe the fact that Moa didn't communicate anything and wasn't cited by name in the tweet is enough for Kobra to allow it.

>>15951504
The girls take a ton of pictures that they keep just to themselves.

desu i wouldnt want them to be on social media because they will get tons of hate from edgyfags

>>15951575
Why we can't have nice things.

>>15948160
also sporting a Rodeo Crowns cardigan and Casselini backpack, Moa has good taste

>>15951575
I bet even faggots from here would do it for waifu war reasons, calling Moa fat on every tweet.

>>15951575
and that's why we hide their faces on other people accounts

>>15951617

After seeing these new moa pics she doesn't look that thicc.

Could this be what koba has been trying to hide this whole time?

>>15946690
moa most likes sexualize mexican girls
do you know 1 for her?

>>15951801
Dora dora d d dora

>>15951506
oh I see and yeah I think we're all on the same page here, it's too bad that Koba lives on another planet.

>>15951575
Which edgyfags?

>>15951930

Anyone who was a high and mighty views on a music genre.

I can't believe Mirena and Sara's last year in Sakura Gakuin is already more than halfway over. It's really a shame that Mirena joined the group so late, I would have liked a couple more years of her.

>>15951950
Same could be said of Ayami, Airi and Ayaka, though..

>>15951161
>eat me so sweet

baka Maaya stop being lewd.

>>15951946
eh not really, that only happens to other bands who snapped a picture with them (re: Rob Zombie's grumpy old fuck, the black metal fans having an aneurysm after Abbath's picture, etc.)

>>15951950
Me too

>>15951930
We're not all on the same page.

>>15951508
The loyal fanbase loves Karate though

>>15952035
The loyal fanbase likes Karate for what it is, and dislikes it for what it is : It's a good song with a cool choreo, but it's a departure from Babymetal's original style of combining Kawaii and Metal. It's good, but it's not a song that only Babymetal could make.

>>15951950

Mirena must have been brought in as a reliable experienced talent for a nendo that was going to be filled with newbs. They wouldn't usually have a 2nd year transfer.

>>15952063
Such bullshit, we could've had Mirena instead of Yunano all these years. She was in Ciao Girls at the same time as Yunano.

Such wasted potential, could've had 4 years of Mirena.

>>15952051
Oh so by loyal fanbase you mean you. I was thinking about the Japanese fans and the other fans who attend lots of shows. IDZ never got this much hate and there's not much kawaii feeling to it either, just different kinds of metal with uplifting but serious messages.

>>15952051
>It's good, but it's not a song that only Babymetal could make

True considering how the intro riff and a lot of the song structure was copypastad from some no-name metalcore band

>>15952118
>Oh so by loyal fanbase you mean you
get that shitty sarcasm out of here. fuck you.

>>15952118
IDZ was at least a metal song

>>15952103
the thing is that she was busy on tv

>>15952125
No it wasn't. They sounded almost nothing alike.

Songs like Doki Doki Morning or Iine make babymetal what it is today. We need more of those.

>>15952103
I like Yunano. I wouldn't want us to miss out on any of the gakus we already have, they're all sweet girls. It would have been nice to at least get an extra year out of Mirena by bringing her and another girl in in 2014 instead of only doing 10 girls that year.

>>15952137
Metal isn't limited to one subgenre lol

>>15952157
and babymetal isn't limited to metal either.

>>15952169
>BABYMETAL
>METAL
>M E T A L
>ISN'T LIMITED TO:
>METAL
CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP FOLKS

>>15952169
They have some ballads, dubstep, and rap, so? It's a mostly metal band that plays with different subgenres.

>>15951950
Lets just be happy we got to enjoy those beautiful Mirena eyes even if it was for such a short amount of time.

>>15952180
Well they aren't. They do dadrock too.

>>15952136
That's not what sarcasm is.

>>15952193
Her eyes are what initially drew me to her when I was trying to find a new current Saku that I wanted to like. And then she became my favorite. :)

>>15952207
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt, says google.
Your comment surely wasn't sincere. We don't need cancerous pieces of shit who write words for the sake of offence here.
of fucking course i didn't mean "me" when i said loyal fanbase, because i'm not retarded.
Please shut up.

>>15952118
>and there's not much kawaii feeling
ya gonna have a hard time arguing that as a whole 'i can play the flying gitaa with my bones m8s" is as edgy as karate

>>15952196
You(?) made it clear a while back that dadrock means really anything older than a decade. So Babymetal, with all their influences, are entirely dadrock. Both albums.

>>15952223
>We don't need cancerous pieces of shit who write words for the sake of offence here
Pot calling kettle black much?

>>15952180
Eagles of Death Metal isn't metal either.

>>15952191
rock isn't a subgenre of metal.

>>15952253
Nu-metal is metal.

>>15952235
>with all their influences
every album is dadsomething by that thinking

>>15952221
You certainly chose a good one, anon! :D

>>15952225
I wasn't thinking about the MVs just the sound and lyrics. At least they keep the guitar pretending alive today.

>>15952264
How is Babymetal numetal?

>>15952274
Pretty much.

>>15947772

>>15952300
Have you heard Onedari and GJ!?

Classic NuMetal

>>15952300
KARATE is nu-metal djent

we need to edit the dictionaries then

>>15952305
Don't ever post this again
I was so depressed when this happened :(
Don't hurt Sara!

>>15952287
dunno if the other guy you are talking to cares about it but the video got (here) a lot of shit for edgy, simple and boring

don't you find ironic that one of their more darkest song at the time was promoted with the most kawaii and relaxed aesthetics they have ever used, maybe they tried to compensate it

>>15952362
That was you. Nobody else said it.

>>15952349
chuchuchumetal

>>15952349
Now I like where this thread is going.

>>15952349
Fucking amazing. This is my favorite song atm.

Idk how it compares to Pi Pi Pi both are so good.

>>15952374
I asked how Babymetal is numetal, not if they have numetal songs.

>>15952367
First Karate was djent and now it's Megistune?

Do yall know what djent actually is besides apparently a meme to be thrown around?

>>15952349
This is Fire

>>15952394
http://www.metalinjection.net/av/babymetals-new-single-karate-brings-the-djent

How did this get into if Babymetal isn't metal. Of course it is. It's a part of them. I thought we were discussing how Koba should stop censoring all the team so much

>>15952394
Djent to me is Meshuggah, but I might be out of touch with the cool kids.

>>15952369
Sara's a tough girl, she will recover.

Moa in the cut, that's a scary sight

>>15952428
>May the spirit of a million mountains be with you

>>15952389
I have to give the edge to PI PI PI. CHUCHUCHUCHU is a close second though.

>>15952308

>>15952440
Why are they chasing Aiko?

>>15952424
Because some fans have turned into the metal elitists they used to laugh at.

>>15952456
Babymetal is the only metal genre that matters
All other metal a shit

>>15952440
You can do it! Do your best!

>>15952427

Meshuggah and other groups that use polrhythm along with 7+ string guitars

>>15952403
Yeah same guy who writes about Nickleback, take his opinion of djent with a grain of salt.

>>15952333
Did some googling and found a lot of djent fans saying it's djent.

>>15952472
I'll do my best sank you.

>>15952424
It started with these posts

>>15952051
>>15951508


You can also go back months in the archive and find the same kind of complains, it started with Road of Resistance but really blew up with Metal Resistance.

Koba made their sound more accessible, there's no denying that. It walks the line between hard rock and metal.

The fact that he made the twitter no-fun, that Yui & Moa left Sakura Gakuin around the same time and there was no more pictures or diaries from them, and he came out with a radio-friendly album all comes together.

>>15952503
Both albums are radio friendly. The hell are you talking about?

>>15952305

>>15952305
It's true Sara was vomiting blood all night after that?

>>15952349
Is this that "djent" thing all the kids are talking about?

>>15952503
Most of the album could hardly be called more accessible, especially something like Tales of the Destinies.

>>15952520
One definitely more than the other

>>15952590
>most

whoa

>>15952630
>Awadama
>Yava
>Meta
>Amore

>Sis

Yeah, most.

>>15952630

>>15952648
>pop song about chewing gum
>Ska song
>anthem for children's anime
>le speed metal song #3
>Numetal that would make fred durst proud
>Babymetal Death but with actual vocals this time
>epic buttrock

The only song that's extreme and inaccessible the imitation-Dillinger nai nai nai nai of TotD, I'll give you that.


Even the positive reviews of whatever metal website and magazine praised them for a mature and less-chaotic sound.

Anytime I see someone complaining about whoas I think of a literal fedorafag I knew who insisted music is worthless if it has whoas or similar things in it. He was fairly autistic and hostile about it and eventually everyone stopped talking to him about music. It reminds me of him every time.

>>15952688
>that list of random as fuck things
>not chaotic
>mature sound

>>15952701
>eventually everyone stopped talking to him about music
If only that could happen here.

>>15952719
I've seen Warped Tour or even Ozzfest compilation CDs that were just as random.

>>15952452
She was caught trying to cross the border.

>>15952701
>Sakura Gakuin's whoas get universally positive reception

>Aiko's whoas and pipipis and chuchuchus are loved by all

>Who doesn't love Ayami's shalalalalalalalallala runrunrunrunrun run run

>Babymetal's whoas get a mixed reception and are a triggerstorm

What does this mean?

>>15952784
Babymetal-only fags?

>>15952759
Seen neither of those because couldn't care less about those, but do they have Japanese chewing gum pop and children's anime mixed with metal?

>>15952784
idk, but more chuchu
https://youtu.be/KqDT8RaG0BM?t=36s
https://youtu.be/e9d0bzGR-lU

>>15952794
No but they're not Babymetal, they'd have actual literal dad rocknext to literal djent next to party rock. Which more or less goes together.

Same with what Babymetal does. They can throw an 8 minute whoacore ballad in the same album that features a couple of speed/power metal songs and ska and whatever.

It's not Mayhem-tier. It's extremely accessible.

>>15952867
Okay. Glad I'm listening to Babymetal then. I don't want screaming death metal all the time. That shit is obnoxious.

>>15952846
I always get slightly weird vibes from the second video where she's all like "look at this waterfall! wao! Now look at this monument!" and how the video starts off with a giant Aiko staring at a smaller Aiko.

like if I didn't know any better I might think this was some sort of North Korean propaganda piece, but really it was just made right after the tsunami to revitalize the country.

>>15952846
wow
who is this supertalented kawaii girl?

>>15952890
exactly, that goes back to what we were saying before this became another whoa thread, Koba doesn't need to make a more mature or refined album with even more power metal and power ballads and to force the fake metal image.

He's n e v e r going to win over any tr00 kvlt metalheads and the people who are into Babymetal don't care for that either.


Really I think he's just doing it for himself.

>>15952942
Nah, I like this new album. It works for me. Just glad it's not filled with obnoxious screaming. It would be a turn off if he did that.

>>15952846

Wtf? I love Aiko now!

>>15952909
If it's propaganda, it works. Every time I watch it I love Aiko even more.

>>15953000
my new fav
AIKO!

We Aiko now?

Please, tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that Aiko has some sexy lips

>>15953142
That's lewd!

Never fight the Su. She always wins afterall.

>>15953337

What a shitty fist. I would waste her in one seiya soiya

>>15953358
but... can you fight both Nakamotos?

>>15953337
>>15953358
>>15953408

heh, weaklings.

Ok I see the situation now. I agree, Metal Resistance is more mature and more serious than self titled. While I don't think it's lost any pop or cuteness (Awa, Yava, Meta Taro especially, GJ), the ratio has sided more towards the serious/metal side. A while back I finally made myself pick instead of the easy "both are amazing equally." I realized Self-titled is the best because that damn chaos. We had out serious songs like Akumu, IDZ, BM Death, Akatsuki. But the craziness that is Iine, Megitsune, Doki Doki totally beats Awa, Chigau, Meta Taro. While I think I can interchange their serious song more evenly in my own personal set list live how could I not want Iine or Doki Doki Morning over Awa and Chigau (I really love Chigau though). For me self title wins because of way better crazy pop songs rather than Syn not being as good as IDZ. Both get me hyped. But Iine crazy ride of EDM, pop singing, crazy metal scream break into rap?! Awa and chigau just have a gimme choco towards the end breakdown...

>>15953426

>>15953431
>when Anon finally gets red pilled

but for real what you said about live songs is especially true. As far as the lead album singles go, Gimme Chocolate is much more better live than Karate, both for newfagolas and old fans.

>>15953475
I can't believe this child is almost 18 now

>>15953538
I was avoiding thinking about which one was better for a while after the release. Too busy hearing it every single day and hype of course. It was new!. After some months passed and release hype was gone, plus I was going to see them live and naturally the "What do I wish my setlist looks like" or seeing another shows and going "aww no ___" I had to take a moment and that's what I concluded. I still love Metal Resistance and songs like Meta Taro (seems underrated for others though), Chigau, GJ, Syncopation, but self title is just so amazing on the pop end. Way more out there. Hopefully next album they go back to that "wtf all over the place" genre mixing that caught my attention when I saw Doki Doki Morning and Iine. TOTD was crazy, but it lacked the fun tone. I don't mind the Gimme/Karate posterboard mainstream accessible single to exist. Just give us the hype and fun of Iine to Catch me if you can too. (So happy it was played this tour)

>>15953547
>tfw Mori Sensei is now 50 years old

>>15953611
Wait. Is him that old?

>>15953657
He's 38, but he doesn't look a day over 15.

>>15953538
>more better
I love Su's solos in Karate a lot more than anything they do with Choco. I got sick of Choco after it got overplayed to death too. Karate still has life in it for me.

>>15953538
These are all valid opinions about music. Nobody is red or blue pilled, idiot.

>>15953854
Yeah but for live shows it's more engaging for the audience to try and sing along during the call-and-response Gimme Choco's bridge, it keep the energy going and the lyrics are simple enough for non-fans to get into.

The bridge during Karate slows the song down and it's just the girls flopping around on the ground to backing whoa-ohs before getting back up, there's no call-and-response engagement with the audience.


Also, a real Babymetal fan would never get tired of Gimme Choco :^^^)

>tfw you will never watch old sg videos with shirai. she will never tell you about the first time she watched them and how she fell in love with them. she will never tell you about how happy she was when she got accepted into the group

:/

a...are you okay Shiraibro

>>15953904
>there's no call-and-response engagement with the audience.
What? Yes, there is. It's what I'm referring to. Su asks to hear the audience's voice and Moimoi are standing beside her. When Su nails the vocals, it's my favorite moment of the evening.

Choco was great, but it's the overplayed entry level song. Every band has one and it's easy to get sick of it.
