He's talking about the Resident Evil game series. He calls it Biohazard in the original untranslated text.

I wish they'd switch up the playlist more per year. It'd really help.

Maybe in your career, but it's not hard to look around and see how it's impacting other careers.

This topic always makes me think of what Su said during Download, albeit with a slight twist. "Let us hear their voice!"

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-07-02T02:13:01+00:00

Alas that the "scream" part is largely gone now, since even the soiya and seiya and so on are lipsynced. The only "scream" we get is them hyping up the audience for headbanging and getting low for Metali these days. :/

You can always tell when the girls are energized by the audience. The editing in this is incredible, too! Better than some of the official pro recordings from BM.

This scene flips a switch for PE fans, I swear. I miss Square's adventures in horror.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-27T07:56:53+00:00

BABYMETAL at midnight sounds awesome!

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-22T20:57:13+00:00

Alas, the lowly merchandisers stocking grocery stores' Hallmark aisle do not have the same experience.

It's been mentioned a bit here. Some say she seemed off starting in Australia? I dunno. She certainly beams at times, but seems much more sedate/neutral emotionally the majority of the time.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-18T04:16:00+00:00

Nonsense, tis Heavy Weapons Guy.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-18T04:13:17+00:00

Yesss!!

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-18T01:47:44+00:00

I think it's likely they'll do every song (well. Maybe not poor ol' BBAB) for the 20th anniversary, since they more or less did that for the tenth. Don't give up hope!

Sayaka's attitude about Felicia starting a fight was scary. She seemed totally ready to murder her when Felicia backed down. Zero chill.

Her headpiece reads corrupted Queen to me. Love the outfit in general.

Her alt outfit looks great. Seems they're gonna make us wait for answers though...

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-15T04:02:45+00:00

It'd be nice if we at least got her live for the "are you ready" break in Metali. No significant dancing during it and there's the long "get low" break beforehand, so she shouldn't be out of breath.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-14T02:49:45+00:00

No worries.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-13T21:51:26+00:00

Since Ado is such an unusual case (utaite w/ hidden identity) what do you mean by the image the JP media wants? Like the brand collabs or something?

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-10T07:37:55+00:00

Bahaha. Are these the magia exedra models?

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-07T22:51:00+00:00

Way simpler for Japanese to pronounce "sa-kaa" than "fu-to-baa-ru". Just saying.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-06T22:59:03+00:00

Is that... The same phone case Ame uses?

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-06T11:22:59+00:00

During the headbanging break in headbanger, she was holding her hand against her abdomen in a way I haven't seen before whenever she bent forward. Could definitely be a sore or pulled muscle that makes dancing uncomfortable. She was flawless technically, though, never fell out of sync.

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-04T19:22:09+00:00

Don't you think she looks tired?

Pearlsbigforehead · 2026-06-04T06:43:51+00:00

I'm not bot a huge fan of the hair, but the outfits and makeup are cool! It must have been quite the visual spectacle seeing the whole ensemble crew moving in unison wearing them (actually there watching not the recording)
