Unless they get deleted ,i plan to bring you footage of the other stages that you experience at Tokyo Idol Festival. TIF is a two-day 50 mostly independent ,small major idol group’s festival ,which is semi hosted by Idoling!!!
In preparations for their new release, the highly popular, fast rising, idol group BABYMETAL have entered into a deal with Tower Records.
The collaboration is called “NO MUSIC, NO IDOL?”
As part of this campaign these limited edition posters shown below are being handed out on a first come first get situation.
BABYMETAL will also be performing at select Tower Record stages in July and will see the addition of a DJ.
To attend the live, you must have the ticket that comes in their July 4 new release.
So what do you think about the posters, they really look like a different group than before?
BABY METAL is back with another release “Li Ne”
The video features the group in various group styles, from idol pop, to rap group, to their trade mark princesses of metal. As much as I love the PV, I really wished they had stayed with their heavy metal style of their first release.
With my objection cast to the side, this is a great song and PV, if you’re not a metal head and like to go clubbing or practice dance, this song is for you.
After being a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin ,the princesses of idol metal are branching out of the comforts of Sakura Gakuin to team up with the band Kiba of Akiba for BABY METAL`s new CD “Ii ne!”
BABY METAL`S record label TOYS FACTORY believes that this collaboration will mark “the arrival of a new era in Idol music" and that it will create a new genre in music that will set BABY METAL into its own light.
The combination of the Metal Idol unit BABY METAL and the hardcore/alternative band Kiba of Akiba is nothing short of a win-win .
Recently BABY METAL got what I believe as a rock musician to be the ultimate endorsement of acceptance of an idol metal group into the heavy metal genre . That endorsement came from heavy metal guitar great Marty Friedman and in this case I believe a picture speaks a 1,000 words .
Also by the way the ladies of idol metal will have new songs coming out in January ,2012
Here is a few more photos a reposting of their debut video and because in the video the song actually gets cut off a full audio version is added.
Here is a little audio teaser for BABY METAL`s song “Ijime Dame Zettai” .however it is hidden on their homepage ,that is until I tell you where it is ,lol.
When you go to their home page look at their logo ,just above their logo is a very small floating skull , click the skull .You won`t get any vocals with this preview only the intro music ,however it does a good job in wetting your taste buds for what to expect from the song.
Under normal circumstances this would be posted on my hard rock blog, but as I have not opened it yet and the fact these three darlings of cuteness are idols it falls here on PIH.
Please welcome to the site Baby Metal
Baby Metal is a Idol Metal Group, created from members of the idol group Sakura Gakuin and are all under the age of 14.
Baby Metal members are
SU-METAL [Vocals and Dance]
MOAMETAL [Screamer and Dance]
YUIMETAL [Screamer and Dance]
Baby Metal was born in 2010 to be a mix of Idol and Heavy Metal Music .They made their debut in October 2010 performing their debut single “Doki Doki Morning” .They followed that up with a song this July called “Ijime, Dame, Zettai” .This release became an immediate buzz in both the idol and rock genre for its music and lyrical content along with Baby Metal`s performance abilities for the song.
Because Baby Metal is a heavy metal group ,they have attracted a number of heavy metal wotas to their lives that Baby Metal lovingly calls “WELCOME TO THE MOSH PIT OF CHAOS”, that sees any idol event they play at transformed into a heavy metal mosh pit.
In October they were a part of a music event in Shinjuku called “NO MUSIC,NO IDOL?” and look set to continue their unique brand of mayhem for some time to come. While a few units proclaim that they are heavy metal idols, no one has embraced the concept to the degree that Baby Metal has.
While some metal and hard rock purists may scream this breaks everything we hold of value in the genre, I am not one of them .You see if your secure in your manhood, then you can see what Baby Metal is in its truest form, a tribute to the great genre that is heavy metal and the “Princesses Of Idol Metal”. And for me, someone who makes his living as a hard rock singer and as a fan of idol genre, I say bring on the chaos and Baby Metal.
