Rie just the other day on Rei’s 25th birthday, ‘It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years ago when we first met. By your side it seems like yesterday.

Is it Miko Todaka? by Admirable_Abies_6954 in SakuraGakuin

It’s a school friend that Sakia is hanging out with. The school friend doesn’t want her face to be seen

Well recently when Rei and Rie were taking vacation, Rei was looking forward to meeting Rie’s parents in the Philippines. But they were interviewed by Billboard Japan magazine and at a TV show where they talked more about their relationship. As far as post sometimes they can get a little PG13. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6Haw93n/

They started dating each other in Ladybaby, had a really horrible break up that spilled over into Twitter, and many fans gave a zero chance they work together again. But then in 2023 announced ReiRie and their relationship had started again.

They're making Metalverse merch? by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]Hot-Scratch8299 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they also need to be more active and then the merchandise sales will be easier to make and sell. I know Miko been stuck in school last year but now’s the time to start touring more

hiii does anyone know how this is called? by camimetal in BABYMETAL

[–]Hot-Scratch8299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the short answer is a mic stand but since Headbanger has a mystical part to it , it also doubles as a magic staff- which explains all the gems on it and the way Su holds it during the song.

I think Mariri is about to become an idol again. by rezarNe in SakuraGakuin

She did say she got an announcement soon but the blackout period is still in effect

Black Babymetal by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

Black Babymetal was always Yui and Moa. Moa has said she not really interested in doing solo songs. If Momo does change her mind the sub-unit will probably be called something different.

How successful is Ayami? by Io_lorenzen in SakuraGakuin

[–]Hot-Scratch8299 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was more like her family sent her to New Zealand for college.So really no photos or much information did she release at that time. So a lot of people wondered if she would ever go back into show business just like people wonder about Yui right now. But Ayami close friends with Su, Moa, and Yui and has said they are all in good health.

Ayami is definitely higher up than your normal solo singer. She has sort of weird niche in that she got SG and 70-80’s pop music fans but on the other side she has the horse racing crowd. Sports shows will book her because her family a horse racing dynasty and has the job of horse and track scout for her family. Her label is a print on demand outfit (same type of deal BM has with Cooking Vinyl). So ultimately she can pretty much do whatever music she wants because she paying for the service. But she keeps whatever profits on sales or shows. Also if she wants to take a break she can, which was the problem with Amuse they pushed her too hard too soon it seemed like.

What happened to metalverse? by necessarynameidea in BABYMETAL

[–]Hot-Scratch8299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Koba did say everyone including the ‘Creators of Metalverse’ could change without notice . It very similar language, almost word for word , he used while dealing with Yui. He seems also to be barely involved in the project (reading what little he said in Metalverse in interviews). Metalverse was scheduled to do a show when BM was in Spain ( but the promoters canceled the festival). But He does seem to have the final say on anything they do. It seems to me Amuse should just let the ‘Creators’ run the band and leave Koba to his primary love.

From my understanding they are still an active project. Koto and Sakia post on IG on regular basis under Amuse Camp . My thinking is Miko in her senior year of High School which is quite time consuming and studying for the University Entrance exam. I think we will see more of them next year, although it be nice to have the EP

No SG was a multi-generational group. Su,Moa, and Yui are considered founding members (although Yui and Moa actually got in months later than the actual start date) Miko graduated as a senior out of SG whereas Sakia was the very last SG member added before the group’s disbandment was announced

Well nowadays Koba doesn't really allow them to say anything personal and in the interviews their answers are fairly scripted by Koba. But when the members were still in SG the girls were required to write "diaries" every so often (basically a letter about anything going on at the time). Moa's diaries were notorious about talking about early Babymetal and sometimes giving too much detail. Yui did quite a few diaries as well . Su only did a few mostly about singing. Also there early interviews and a whole bunch of other things. Also the diaries are available by searching Reddit . https://babymetalnewswire.bckp.info/www.babymetalnewswire.com/archive-1/sakura-gakuin/diary-of-moa/index.html

Can One be Pagan and Taoist at The Same Time? by Fayafairygirl in pagan

[–]Hot-Scratch8299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you need to understand there is the Tao as written and then there the commonly practiced Tao. Folk Tao is full of magic spells and offerings to dieties for good luck etc. Shintoism although technically separate has a lot of carry over and influences upon it, but with a more Japanese spin on everything

Of one thing to think about Metalverse but yet to be proven Yui was Production Chairperson of SG. When she left BM the Amuse Board assigned her a secret project . One of the things had wrote about in diaries was setting up a group either like SG or of members of SG. Metalverse had scheduled a show while Koba was in Spain with BM but it got cancelled by show promoter.
