Musician

I think it's not only Babymetal's sound but also the fact that we dance to metal that represents a new way of expressing this genre of music.

Metallica is a big, huge influence and inspiration. That's who Babymetal aspires to become some day.

When we went to Judas Priest backstage, Mr. Rob Halford told us that they were waiting to see us. We've met Mr. Kirk Hammett of Metallica several times, and he is extremely kind to us. No one gives us mean looks, and we are so happy that Babymetal is welcomed warmly.
