Episode 088 – Traveling to Japan (part one)
If you want to travel to Japan to see one of the big BABYMETAL shows, what is involved? We talk through experiences and tips in the first part of a two-part discussion. This time: airfare and hotels (next time: trains, the concert itself). Join us!
Episode 087 – Legend MM
In keeping with the tradition of holding major Legend shows for BABYMETAL members’ 20th birthdays (Legend S, Legend M), BABYMETAL performed a 2-night Legend MM show leading up (20Night) to and on (21Night) Momometal’s 21st birthday. Kevin was there, and tells us all about it. Join us!
Episode 086 – Leave It All Behind
Without much advance warning, “Leave It All Behind” was released, a three-way collaboration between Thai rapper F.Hero, Thai rock band Bodyslam, and BABYMETAL. And the result is great. None of the three is “featured” behind any of the other two, the styles blend flawlessly, and the MV is spectacular. Join us, and try to guess whether we liked it!
Episode 085 – Merch Madness
If you want to buy BABYMETAL merchandise, how do you start? Where do you look? What should you watch out for? In this episode we run down some of the options for buying things from Japan to ship elsewhere. From where to find things (Asmart, Yahoo Japan Auctions, Buyee, Zenmarket, Mandarake, US/UK stores), to how to ship things (Tenso), as well as what to be careful of and some of the weird things that they’ve put out over the years. Join us!
