On Moametal’s birthday in 2012, BABYMETAL released Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! (ヘドバギャー!!, Hedobangyaa!!), a song about fully experiencing the fleeting moments of a 15th-birthday metal concert, which has become an enduring favorite. In this episode, we talk about the song, the special performances, the video, the enhanced CD, and special edition box. and more. Join us!

In a recent interview with Kobametal, we learned that BABYMETAL plans to team up with the Rock-may-kan club in Tokyo for a project to support the venue, themed around “10 days” and “STAY METAL”, a reference to BABYMETAL’s upcoming 10-year anniversary. Rock-may-kan (Rokumeikan) is the venue where BABYMETAL’s first public solo show was held, Legend Corset Festival, in July 2012. So in this episode we talk about this news, this venue, and then spend some time talking about Legend Corset Festival itself. Join us!

Particularly earlier on, BABYMETAL sometimes performed cover songs from other groups in their shows, or shared the stage with other performers. In this episode, we talk through these songs and appearances, including their birthday solo covers, performing Judas Priest songs with Rob Halford, a collaborative release with Kiba of Akiba, and more. Join us!

In this episode, we dig into the song that BABYMETAL has played more than any other: Megitsune. We talk about the music video, the shrine it was filmed at, the release events and interviews, the many editions, the lyrics, the music, the performances. This is a song you underestimate at your peril. It is quintessential BABYMETAL. Join us!
