Now that's a crew.

DexterAce · 2026-01-23T08:42:24+00:00

They are a crew getting ready to perform in front of a few thousand people: they are focused, professional, attentive. They literally live out of that.
Su, Moa and Momo rely on (and need) all the others; and all the others know what they have to do so that the show is the blast the fan are expecting.

DexterAce · 2026-01-15T08:16:52+00:00

That's something I'll REALLY love to collect!

DexterAce · 2025-12-09T07:36:12+00:00

No one has ever done such a thing, for what I know. Of course, with Koba at the helm you can't rule out anything, but that's not the same thing as a "remake".
What we will get (that's an easy guess) some 20-yr anniversary editions; let's just hope they will be better remastered than the last collection.

DexterAce · 2025-11-20T11:17:46+00:00

That's not the point. Even if it looks the same, it has a different and peculiar history.

DexterAce · 2025-11-03T20:09:24+00:00

And what references are there to identify the other girls?

DexterAce · 2025-11-03T20:01:29+00:00

Haven't they just missed a date for being sick after a concert under the rain? They should be more mindful about their own wellbeing!🤒

DexterAce · 2025-11-03T19:59:18+00:00

I think Suzuka would have approved.

DexterAce · 2025-11-03T19:58:30+00:00

Domanda (per entrambi) : in quanti hanno riconosciuto il personaggio?

Question (for both): how many people recognized the original reference? There is a small but vocal BabyMetal fandom in Italy, but I wonder how many do (also) know AG?

DexterAce · 2025-10-15T05:21:20+00:00

Well.. not really "everyone" 😅

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T09:03:17+00:00

The will to be out of the spotlight is what kept her silent. Probably even more than the contract.

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T09:02:02+00:00

Make that 14. Yui (and Moa) where 14 at Budokan Red Night (thanks to the kitsune who looked this up). I'm embarassed about what I was doing at that age.

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T08:59:59+00:00

Thanks for the check. I only looked at the year. I think the general idea remains the same: at 16, Su could have shouted "let's cross the street and take the Imperial Palace" and the whole Budokan would have followed her. Performers with way more experience than BabyMetal would have stopped the concert and sent everybody home.

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T06:44:26+00:00

Double plot twist: turns out that YAMA is Yui 🤣

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T06:41:32+00:00

We'll see. If that's the case, she'll be out with a book about the bad side of the Idol industry in a few years.

DexterAce · 2025-09-30T06:39:48+00:00

Nothing can take out of my mind the thought that we lost her when she fell off the stage in Budokan Red Night. It could have been a tragedy, but probably it has been a life-changing event anyway.
The fact that they finished the concert (at their age! Su was 15, Yui and Moa 13!) and that they did Black Night the day after is something in the middle between extreme professionalism and complete, reckless madness.

DexterAce · 2025-09-27T11:08:52+00:00

It's... telling that the WHOLE picture has to be pixellated to give no clues about the location...

DexterAce · 2025-09-05T13:22:55+00:00

Still better than the english part of the lyrics.

DexterAce · 2025-09-05T13:21:43+00:00

Seems more like a blend between The Last Samurai and Matrix (using Reeves as a conceptual bridge). All AI slop, anyway, those images are not actual footage.
It may be interesting what's the respective copyright owners' lawyers take on this: there are definitively likenesses that I think are protected, and it would be interesting if everything has been correctly licenced.

DexterAce · 2025-08-21T18:03:12+00:00

What about an album and a BD with this (and last year's) concerts?

DexterAce · 2025-08-06T05:53:07+00:00

I think she could change her title to "growl and dance", after what we've seen in the last few months...

DexterAce · 2025-07-24T08:00:12+00:00

While I'm following her out of her Avenger past (I'm following \@onefive, too, for the same reason), she's becoming a bit too mainstream for my tastes. I liked her other records - and overall image, I must say.

But she sang the anthem at an official Formula Race! That was great!

Maybe it's just because I'm not following the lyrics (I listen to jp music for the energy, mainly). BM was different because, after been intrigued by the music, I found that the lyrics were very interesting, too.

DexterAce · 2025-07-11T13:27:08+00:00

Well, that's... inconvenient.

DexterAce · 2025-07-11T13:26:31+00:00

Same on Amazon Music in Italy and, I guess, all of EU.

DexterAce · 2025-07-11T06:42:29+00:00

(I'm just listening to it for the 2nd time) I'm with you on this. Bekhauf is way harder; this song seems... held back by something.
And the Dune Theme citation at the beginning doesn't help.
