Sooooo the first time I listened to that new Babymetal track, it was okay. Little overproduced, but fun and different.

Found the live version and o h m y g o d it slaps.

I’ve listened to this like 6 times in a row now. https://youtu.be/wCDFzmrDYKw ">https://youtu.be/wCDFzmrDY...

Babymetal then: “we’re gonna be cute and fun and also kick ass because talent and stuff”

Babymetal now: “piss on your genre gatekeeping we’re basically gods”

The whole band’s impressive but Su’s a goddamn force of nature these days.

Midnight Babymetal stanning? On MY plastic model kit timeline?

It’s more likely than you think.

One more thing: I mad respect their producer not being afraid to improve upon released songs. Single of Road of Resistance had rough vocals, dramatically improved in the album ver.

Seems like they tuned down the vocal processing from the BxMxC video to the streaming release too

OK OK ONE MORE THING

Go back and watch that vid. 2:38 when the solo vocal breakdown hits. There’s a moment you can pinpoint when Su’s up there and breaks character ever-so-slightly, and a hint of self satisfaction creeps into the performance.

They’re fucking OWNING the stage.
