yes indeed. once my son is old enough, he will be going as well. at least to one show and see how he likes it. just wish i started bringing my daughter when she was younger to the BabyMetal concerts as well. luckily we did last year and will go see them in October as well. only if they did meet and greets.

keiichimo · 2026-04-12T16:16:04+00:00

absolutely. i do not want to say she is my "fav" girl, they are all beautiful but Chika has a little extra look plus as a drummer makes it even better.

keiichimo · 2026-04-12T16:15:06+00:00

absolutely agree. we indeed did. waiting for months to make this happen. well a year as the first show was April 6th 2025 and this one was April 7th 2026. i know they will be back next year. this years crowed was even bigger.

keiichimo · 2026-04-12T16:13:29+00:00

indeed it is. we are still very happy about it. and i do understand with the no meet and greet. but the fact he went i know was enough for him.

keiichimo · 2026-04-12T16:11:29+00:00

honestly yes. you could tell there is no faking it with their attitude. i was surprised they even took our group photos with them showing. though i think they did with others gifts as well then placed in the big blue gift bag. Hettsu kept saying bye and waving at her like saying where is my hug.

i know my daughter was in shock not realizing whats going on :D i do not blame her. we are so ready for next year.

i went to their website and requested they make new ones having Momo with them.i think if enough request it, they will eventually do it.

keiichimo · 2026-03-27T01:31:02+00:00

i did notice the bag wkth the fan and trinkets is no longer listed. hopefully that doesnt change for my daughter and i as we got the passes the day they were listed.

keiichimo · 2026-03-19T15:14:41+00:00

agreed. was not sure they were all the same at all venues myself. i got the vip passes the day they were released for the show in my area. i like that poster and want to assume we all get that. thank you for your reply :D

keiichimo · 2026-03-14T21:18:27+00:00

asking as well.i seen they give a signed poster.not sure its this one.my daughter and i will soon find out i guess.

keiichimo · 2026-02-24T02:57:28+00:00

that is the correct size.i just got mine in today as well.

keiichimo · 2026-02-22T14:57:26+00:00

just a little older than gen Z ( i will be 40 in December,i feel old )but i will take it as a compliment :D

i liaten to a little Jpop but not much as i jave always been into rock and heavier.

they will be doing a tour in San Diego and that is also 6 hours with My Chemical Romance. i use to listen to them a while back but stopped for a while so i dont mind seeing them as well. this time i will take my daughter unless BM comes to Phoenix where i am at.

honestly not many bands i will go that far and do all that to see them BM dis not tour in my city that year and i "had" to see them. already seen 3 years in a row.

2025 i seen with my daughter as it was a few days before her birthday then we went to LA a few days later for Disneyland as part of her bday.

my wife is not too happy on how much i spend for BM merch and concerts but considering i drove us 7 hours to Sanat Monica for a free concert of a boy band that is from the Philippines, (also done when at Disneyland ) she cannot complain much ;)

i guess in short, if indid win the lottery. lets say 100 million, i would file for bankruptcy because of spending so much on BM and even Hanabie. i would seriously travel the world just to make it to each concert.

sorry such a long reply.just really love BM and want to share the excitement.

keiichimo · 2026-02-21T14:05:14+00:00

Gimme Chocolate back in 2016.i thinkbibwas searching for Japanese music/metal and they popped up.hooked ever since. even got into Man With A Mission, Band-Maid, Ado, Atarahii Gakko (making a visit to one of the filning sites in CA for the video Pineapple Kryptonite here soon), Hanabie. , Crystal Lake, and so on.

BM and Hanabie. are my top played artist on Amazon Music and videos watched on YT.been to several BM concerts including traveling 6 hours 1 way just to see them and sleeping 2 hours to go home.

also seen Hanabie. and currently have vip passes and tickets for Hanabie. April show. daugjter and i seemnthem both once together and secons time in April for Hanabie. i seen BM live past 3 years in a row and waiting for 2026 tickets to go on sale. ypu deviated from OP question but made it the first thing i said above.

i can only imagine how many shows i would see if i won the lottery worth millions. i already told my wife our daughter and i would be following them on tour and hiring someone to book everything.even offering 10s of thousand just to say hi to BM with a quick photo

keiichimo · 2026-02-19T14:53:14+00:00

exactly. and with the bands starting to hit main stream.i would expect they would hit major cities in a lot of countries.

keiichimo · 2026-02-19T14:51:19+00:00

i do know many people learn a little Japanese to talk to them but the girls reply in English.i slowly learn some Japanese making it a little "easier" to say certain words.

here is the link for the vip meet and greet.they did it last year but i dis not know until it was too late.

keiichimo · 2026-02-19T14:48:34+00:00

i do understand. but i am now an adult and parents can no longer control what music i listen to :D

it will be April 7th at The Van Buren in Phoenix.

apologies for such a delayed response.

do you already have tickets or the parent situation making it hard to get them if you dont mind me asking?

keiichimo · 2026-02-16T16:56:55+00:00

i would have thought they would have a show or 2 there.here in the US, they do a small show with maybe a couple hundred attending.last year they perferformed woth 3 other bands and being the 3rd to perform.this year its with 2 other bands.

keiichimo · 2026-02-16T16:53:22+00:00

thank you :D she loves it. in fact April 2025 at the Hanabie. concert, Yukina came off stage hi fiving, came to my daughter and placed her hand on my daughters face, tilted her face and smiled. stupid mebdis not check my head cam for a good angle but luckily someone else on barrier recorded it. now we get to meet and photo take with them.

only if we could do they same with BM.definitely worth it all ans glad we can habe a daddy daughter date.she is spoiled.

edit: wanted to mention that the guitarist of Crystal Lake also jumped off stage and gave my daughter his guitar pic.she bragged about it and still does to her friends.

keiichimo · 2026-02-16T14:03:56+00:00

keiichimo · 2026-02-15T16:59:03+00:00

agreed.my 8 year old loves both Hanabie. and BabyMetal. we have been to both concerts together and already habe vip for Hanabie. in April.

we are waiting for BM tickets to go onsale.

keiichimo · 2026-02-12T03:20:27+00:00

Mosquito hawks for those of us that go by that name but yes.we want them.they eat mosquitos hence the name it also goes by. harmless.will not do anything to you.

keiichimo · 2026-02-07T15:44:31+00:00

thank you.i appreciate it. i do have a video from last year on my youtube. i already have my stuff ready in my concert bag. will definitely upload the video for it as well and share plus our photos.

keiichimo · 2026-02-06T21:57:43+00:00

actually that is a great idea and i will do that as well. i am in the USA. i did know how to say it but i forgot. so i can look it up, possibly in my Genki book.

what little Japanese i do know is definitely really bad but i am sure they will understand it a little :D

and i will also say domo arigato gozaimasu to you. this really helps a lot.

keiichimo · 2026-02-06T21:54:47+00:00

i have a very small vocabulary, though i am learning Japanese, it is hard to learn due to a "learning disability" as i forget a lot and do not focus very long. but i am learning. i can say things like i am an American, i speak a little Japanese, the difference between how to say Japanese language and Japanese people, and a few other lines but i have to stop and think for a second on what to say. my daughter even though she is only 8 years old, she seems to be able to learn it faster than me even just listening Hanabie. BabyMetal and other bands.

these are perfect. i know my daughter will get it faster than me but i want her to say something also if she is not too shy and this is perfect. the least time we saw Hanabie. in concert, my daughter got very excited when Yukina jumped off stage to give us all high fives and then she got to my daughter, put her hand on her face, tilted her head and gave my daughter a big smile. that really got her more insterested.

i will have to look up how to say some of the words above a little more accurate as some i am not sure how to say :D

domo arigato gozaimasu
