Wooooo here we go! I was so lucky to see Babymetal perform in a sold out Cardiff venue before the pandemic kicked off. I said back in 2019 about how they are a band to watch out for in the decade ahead and boy am I right? Despite losing a member they are still touring and kicking major arse!
Babymetal is a Japanese kawaii metal band consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal" and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal". The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. BRAND-NEW ALBUM "THE OTHER ONE" COMING SOON!
10: Head Bangeeeeerrrrr!!!!
Kicking off my list with this BANGEEEERRRRR!!!! It's calm and cute to start, and then you get smacked with the girls signature cutesy aggression and some epic growls from the backing band. This one performed live is always a fucking delight, the crowd fist bumping and joining in with their growls is fucking sick! The "oi, oi!" is awesome. Also being a Welshman and having only seen Babymetal play to a sold out venue in Cardiff a few years ago, I was blown away so many people joined in singing the start too.
9: Meta Taro
One of my all-time faves tbh, it's like a kid's lullaby in how it is sung in its intro and chorus but the rest ooooof. M! E! T! A! META!
8: DA DA DANCE!
Catchy and sick beats it would be epic to play on Dance Dance Revolution in some arcade tbh.
7: PA PA YA!!
So this is everything we come to love from Babymetal BUT they collab with thai rapper F.HERO who drops a sick flow alongside the band's catchy cute and backing growls.
6: Oh! MAJINAI
The girls toured with Sabaton and decided to team with Joakim for a song AND IT'S FUCKING GENIUS! Sabaton X Babymetal was a crossover WE DID NOT KNOW WE NEEDED! ITS AWESOME AND A LOT OF FUN! Wrap your arm around mine now and lets go in a circle singing NAI NAI NANA NAI!
5: BxMxC
The first time I heard this I was blown away. It's such an impressive song especially the insane speed Su-metal takes with the rapping and damn the drums go hard in this song. It's even more impressive hearing it live in person being performed. Mad respect for this tune!
4: Karate
Listen to me when I say Babymetal's second album Metal Resistance was heavily anticipated after their debut album and when Karate emerged from the heavens thanks to the Fox God. We knew our prayers were answered and Babymetal were not just a one and done deal and that they still kick ass. They put a lot of metal musicians and musicians to shame in general to be fair. This one is fierce but when it comes to it's chorus it gets sort of emotional YET very catchy.
3: Megitsune!
Catchy and groovy and a whole lot of fun, this song is amazing. It's a stable for them to play live, and it's fun to jump around or jump left to right singing "Sune!".
2: Doki Doki Morning.
This song is awesome! It also gives me heavy vibes of Dragonball Z Budokai 3 vibes with its sound. It has Babymetal's metal then switch into cutey catchy dancing pop music and then switches back it's gruesome! I love Babymetal for their unique sound.
1: Gimme Chocolate
The first song I heard from Babymetal is their biggest hit of course, and It still kicks ass today, IT IS SO FUN ALSO! I love the chaotic energy this track gives off and the metal ladies just boost the energy levels with their high energy and their dancing too. The guitar solo was just wicked good too. So catchy and so fun and metal af.
