The news, such as it is, includes the announcement of The One 2019, which begins by picking a size and buying a T-shirt. The Gimme Chocolate!! video hits 100m views, which is marked officially by silence. Saya (who stood in Yui’s place in some recent shows) and Kotono (who performed in the big Japan shows) perform Gimme Chocolate!! at their performance school in what was reportedly a very realistic fashion. Art prints from John McMurtrie and GMB Chomichuk. And then we spend the rest of the episode on a deep dive into Doki Doki Morning, the first BABYMETAL song performed and released. We talk a bit about the lyrics, the individual performances, song structure and impressions, its evolution. And then we begin waiting to see what will happen on Fox Day 2019.
