Jpop/metal: Babymetal - The One

Last year's success story in the metal world, Babymetal, returned this week with their new single "Karate" which ticked all the expected boxes with a nice fantasy setting and their usual energy. With the next video "The One" they instead goes for live footage and a more emotional ballad, and this time lead singer Suzuka sings quite much in english. This feels like a perfect fan video and I'm quite sorry I can't be at the concert this saturday in London.

Jpop/metal: Babymetal - Karate

From maybe THE hot metal/jpop item of 2015, the three girls (and their possè) of Babymetal, now finally comes the much awaited first song from the new album "Metal Resistance", and for all the fans loving their mixture of metal and cute idol singing, this is most assuredly another favorite. I personally think it is not their best to date, but it is none the less quite nice.
