I am confused on many levels.
How is it possible for one nation to continually push and pull known boundaries in /x/ field? What is built into (or fed, or irradiated) into Japanese folk that makes them so... innovative?
Should I be feeling attracted to these females? I am not acquainted with BABYMETAL, other than YouTube comments suggesting that these females are still in school and under 16. Confused boner.
Why do I find this group both disgusting and also fantastic?

Damnit Japan.

Rolling Stone gave it 4.5/5. Suck on that, snob 

Leifr, I think they are 15/16 now. Definitely watch their other videos on Youtube as well. Megitsune and Ijime!Dame!Zettai! are probably the two best ones.

Rolling stone also gave St.Anger 4/5 so it doesn't really matter what they're giving.

Saint angar round ma neeeck

Hope that was sarcasm or something

 

[Eternal Winter]

Lol, Babymetal. My friend is a lolicon and he freaking loved them. Also, he told me that : Loli is enough, you no need to pay attention to the music. Lol, hahaha 

 

[McBeverage]

Have something actually good!

 

[Eternal Winter]

Im not the kind of guys who love metal music with rapping like. But those guy made me think again.

Basically, you just need to find the right music to mix the rapping in.

I wish people who upload full concerts would put down a songlist as well.

Anyways, that's not bad, but Holmes clearly can't do his Hetfield-esque vocals on stage. Like so many bands, PL was at their best when they had piss & vinegar in them instead of on their beds.

Anyone liking this song beside me?

 

[Wellenbrecher]

If you like it, check "Blood God Rising" as well.

I liked it.
And I also like this one:

 

[Nahkuri]

I thought that was nice thrashing but then they just had to make the chorus fully blown twink buttloving. ****ing core-core.

Edit: Speaking of thrash, check out these Finnish kids. I can't rember if this is a repost, but if it is, it's one that needed to be made.

 

[Vieira151]

For those who are fans of metalcore metalcore.

 

[Nahkuri]

Who the **** would name their band ringworm 

 

[Vieira151]

Them, apparently. 

 

[Dalkar]

It's because they get under your skin.

The most startling thing about Babymetal's self-titled album is how ridiculously entertaining it is. I should hate this, I thought to myself as I first assailed the neighbours with the glitterbomb savagery of inexplicably-titled sing-along anthems like Gimme Choco!! and Doki Doki MORNING… and yet, I think I've already fallen in love with this, erm, band. Unlike the vapid cut'n'paste postmodernism that has infected the metalcore scene in recent times – check out the frankly hideous Issues for a cackhanded pop/metal hybrid that leaves a truly foul taste in the mouth – Babymetal's songs are imbued with an exhilarating sense of innocence and joy that may yet still enrage Slayer fans to the point of apoplexy, but that I can only hope will introduce a generation of hyperactive toddlers (doubtless via their otherwise embittered middle-aged music journalist parents) to the wonders of brutal riffs, ribcage-shattering kick drum flurries and, best of all, how truly, wonderfully deranged Japanese pop culture can be.

Ahahahahaaa! Dom Lawson has been infected:
