We had no clue what heavy metal was. We were like: 'What's that?'

When the first video was uploaded to YouTube, that's when we realized that people outside of Japan were interested. That's where we see Babymetal spreading, with people trying to mimic music or dance moves.

We were worried at first that our music and message wouldn't get across because we were singing in Japanese. But as we continued doing world tours, we realized and felt that music surpasses such things as language barriers, countries and race.

I like the freedom America has. In Japan people tend to think too much about others' opinions and how to be like everybody else but to Americans it seems more important to be who you are and find your own way.

I think people like catchy and new types of music.

It's really great to hear that people do look at us as role models and we hope we are able to live up to that expectation as well.

Dance routines for 'Meta Taro' are easy to remember, so this is a song for every generation from little kids to seniors to enjoy our shows by dancing together. I hope the song will be a gateway into metal music for the non-metal audience.

Of course our music has a lot of positive messages and we try to reach out to kids our age or people younger because we feel we get motivation by songs.

We've really learned that music is something that people share all over the world.

I experienced many moments when we were able to overcome language barriers. When they like something during our shows, American audiences would tend to show our fox signs or move their bodies.
