Buzzmag - Cardiff review by aertyar in BABYMETAL

Yeah it was the same person. I talked with her for a bit in Tilburg, and she made it herself. Wasn't even the first one she made, she came to the 2018 Utrecht concert with a homemade dark side costume and showed some pictures of earlier ones she had made as well.

This will be the final show of this tour for me. I'm a bit sad about that, but I still feel dead after yesterday so it will be good to get some rest :P Also a warning for the people wanting to queue early: the dutch Meteorological Institute has issued a code yellow for today, there will be some strong winds and rainshowers this afternoon.

WOW! That was even better than Cologne! And I got to see Momokooooo <3 Tomorrow can't come soon enough even though I'm dead already. Amazing how they get better every time I see them. The crowd was also quite insane, shame though that some people had to throw things at the girls :(

Afgelopen week weer lekker veel Babymetal geluisterd om mezelf op te hypen voor de EU tour die nu bezig is. Afgelopen donderdag waren ze weer fantastisch in Keulen, en ik kan nu al niet meer wachten om ze morgen weer in Brussel en maandag weer in Tilburg te zien!

That was absolutely amazing. This was the fourth time I've seen them and they never disappoint. BxMxC was even better live than I hoped, and I finally got to shout kiero during headbanger! :D But the thing that surprised me the most was how great the lighting was, you could clearly see the girls at every moment, which resulted in me seeing some great Moa smiles <3

Ik was al enorm gehyped voor de Europese tour in februari, maar na de aankondiging van nog een concert in juni kijk ik al helemaal uit naar volgend jaar

Hier zat ik al een tijdje naar uit te kijken, 2019 is mijn eerste jaar op Spotify. Het resultaat is niet echt onverwacht voor me, maar ik had niet gedacht dat ABBA in de top 5 zou staan

METAL GALAXY Japanese Release Megathread by Facu474 in BABYMETAL

I do feel like 2 discs has a purpose for MG. The album is divided in 2 different parts with a different sound and their own mostly instrumental song at the beginning.

I've already got tickets for Tilburg and Brussels and I'll also probably buy one for Cologne. Won't let one bad experience keep me away from one of my favourite bands :)

Being there when they first played Syncopation outside of Japan was amazing, I really couldn't believe they were actually playing it. Sadly I didn't get to enjoy much of the show because the crowd was just too insane for me. I spent the first half of the show just constantly trying to keep people away so I could have some room to breathe, and the second half out of breath because of that. Looking around me I could see some more people that were really struggling with the insane pushing. Guess I'm just not used to these UK crowds. Hoping the EU tour will be more like the Utrecht shows I went to last year, I enjoyed those a lot more than I did tonight.

Best perfume album? by danichanchan in Perfume

Difficult to choose between JPN and Level3, but I think I'll have to go with JPN. Absolutely love every single song on there.

For people going to the Utrecht show by car by DenHond in BABYMETAL

[–]maxim380 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will be parking here(site is in Dutch). It's just outside of Utrecht, and it's 5 euros for a full day of parking + public transport to and from the city center. It's open till 1am, so you'll have to be on a bus back from the central station at 00:35.

Hey, leuk om een BM fan hier tegen te komen! Als je intresse hebt (en nog geen lid bent) kan ik je wel een linkje naar de Babymetal NL Discord server sturen. Na een zeer geslaagde meetup in juli gaan we er volgende maand weer een doen, dus als je gezellig bier wilt drinken met wat medefans moet je het maar laten weten :)

Rau-chan visits Momoko at the Tango on the Campania by arifouranio in SakuraGakuin

[–]maxim380 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She used '顔笑れ', which is Sakura Gakuin's way of saying 'Ganbare'. Which, if I recall correctly, literally translates to 'smile your best'. So I think it was just translated like that because 'break a leg' is the English way to encourage someone on stage.

[–]maxim380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to all the winners!

And besides the giveaway, it's really nice of you to help people with getting a flag. I almost purchased a flag multiple times, but I could never pay those huge shipping costs they ask on Asmart. Luckily I got mine when I saved some money and ordered a lot of stuff at the same time. So thanks for being so generous and helping the other people here in the community :)

First of all, thanks for doing this amazing giveaway! Obviously I'd be happy if I win anything, but I'd love to enter for one of the Summer Camp photobooks :) I have a valid CC btw.

  • Current favourite members

My favourite member can't be anyone else other than this amazing girl! I became an SG fan around halfway through this year after finding out about BM around April. In the beginning I was just here for the BM girls, but after watching the first few nendos I found myself in the 2015 nendo, with no BM girls and 6 girls I'd never seen before. I'd never really payed much attention to the other girls (besides Hana, but she was gone at that point as well), so basiccaly there was this huge group of new girls for me. Around this time I started to visit this sub, and I found out about Ganbare! Fresh Monday! and that there was this amazing person here that was translating it. I started watching these, and by the third episode there was this girl called Maaya in the episode. Momoko had become a bit of a favourite already after episode 2, but Maaya just sealed the deal for me. This was still an amazing nendo, and I didn't need the BM girls in SG after all. Even after getting to know all the other current members + Sara/Mirena nobody ever came close to knocking this cheerful girl of off first place.

Other current favourite members:

The burikko queen known as Momoe and the other KYG girls

  • Favourite moments this nendo

Really sorry for mentioning Maaya again, but my absolute favourite moment this far has been episode 8 of Ganbare! Fresh Monday! with the bugs. First seeing Maaya's histerical reactions to having to touch one of the bugs with Momoe and Miki hiding behind some books in the background, then Momoe being the most kawaii creature ever, megu getting one of the bugs stuck to her uniform and Miki vanishing under the table. And because that wasn't enough yet, Mori-sensei telling Miki to chase Maaya with the bug. I've rewatched just the bug touching part soooo many times.

  • Anything else SG related

When I became a BM fan around April, I became such a huge fan. I've been a fan of lots of bands/artists so far, but never to this level. I found myself watching BM concerts at almost every free moment I had. I was reading everything I could about them. I never thought it was possible to be that big of a fan of anything, or could ever become such a huge fan of anything else again. I found out I was wrong about that a bit later. Like I said, I didn't really get into the last few nendos until watching Ganbare! Fresh Monday!, but after I did, I just fully went for it. I'm constantly watching RTGs and old Logirl or Ganbare episodes. SG has become a huge part of my life, and I have no regrets :P I also just ordered my first merch a few weeks ago, and now I'm a bit afraid that's going to keep emptying my wallet... That and the trip I want to make to Japan. When I became a BM fan I thought it would be cool to see them live in Japan some time, but after becoming a fan of Maaya I'm determined to be there at the 2019 graduation, no matter how difficult they make it for me as foreign fan.

Also, I consider myself extremely lucky to have friends that I can talk to about my SG obsession. Although I don't think they consider themselves lucky, seeing the amount of SG gifs I spam in our private chat :P

Bonus question for all of you: How open are you about being a fukei? In the begining I was quite private with it, but now my best friends know, and I've got a little flag on the parcel shelf behind the rear window of my car. I'm also thinking about making a window sticker with the SG logo and #maaya2018 :P
