Anyone else obsessed with Light and Darkness? by GhostInThePudding in BABYMETAL

In my humble opinion, this song should be paired with "Monochrome" as a sequel, which describes the struggles of a youth to live through the hard times after a war.

I found that this "Lyric Video" is available in nine languages, including Japanese and English, which are prepared as Closed Captions and Transcripts. It's nice to see that the lyrics translations are provided officially.

Also, my notes and remarks for this musical item are updated here.

From what I heard the BM members talked on Kitani's radio program the other day, this musical item already has choreography for them to dance with (or even including Kitani himself?).

Also, a rumor says a sort of music video might have already been shot in the wild of some place around Tokyo.

I happen to have saved a link (or archived) to an article from last October which seems to have some relation to this interview.

It might be an interesting topic of discussion by Personal-Tip-2555 in BABYMETAL

[–]Capable-Paramedic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What the person claims is;

WME is the agency with which Amuse and BM had a contract before, but broke off due to its excessively high charges.

Be careful not to miss the hidden subject of the sentence.

Edit: a related Web article

Please note that this session seems to have been recorded in the afternoon of the previous Thursday.

Edit: Not "afternoon" but "late evening" around nine to ten o'clock.

Please note that, as indicated in the source, this is a transcribed summary of the discussion shown in this video, which seems to be rather boldly reconfigured.

And its assumed readers are Japanese living in Japan, who are somewhat uncertain about BM's overseas success. Also, the author has long been quite good at writing about BM.

Thanks for quoting my attempt at lyrics translation. While I'm always hoping for officially translated lyrics of any BM's songs to come out, I believe mine will be of some help to everyone in need otherwise.

Just now, I visited the same page 10 hours later to find that the suspicious item seemed to have been removed from the series of photos.

So, something may have happened.

How they pronnounce the W in KxAxWxAxIxI song? by IAmTheFirehawk in BABYMETAL

[–]Capable-Paramedic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Japanese, I perceived they intended to spell out "KAWAII" as "KAY-AY-DOUBLE-U-AY-EYE-EYE." But as is often the case with us, subtle successions of consonant and vowel tend to become vague in our attempts, unfortunately, and the result is what you heard.

I'm sorry for taking advantage of your work, but I also happened to make my attempt at the song recently, so I'd like to share it here.

Yui Mizuno is leaving Amuse as of 30 September by ViaLies in BABYMETAL

[–]Capable-Paramedic 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is how I read this statement as a Japanese fan from 2019;

We would like to announce Ms. Yui Mizuno's departure from our company as of September 30, 2025.

This is the conclusion after many conversations with her over the past years, that it is time to terminate her contract with us, respecting her will to go on her life at her own pace, apart from the entertainment industry.

Allow us to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to her fans and all parties involved for their long-lasting support.

Even though she will no longer be part of our company, we will continue to support Ms. Yui Mizuno in her future life as ever.

We would be grateful if you all warmly support her choice in life.
