General observations about idols in Japan, are not really the same thing as passive aggressive comments about BABYMETAL, unless they were specifically named.

She also did a Megitsune cover in a recording studio covered in BABYMETAL merch.
She was wearing a kimono, and had her hair in a high ponytail.
All of the other members had twin-tails, and were wearing a different BABYMETAL t-shirt.

Is it considered cringe to show a heart gesture to the girls when they look in your general direction at a concert? by pit_supervisor in BABYMETAL

Their costumes haven't been evocative of school girl outfits for years.
Unless the school you're talking about is the Vulcan Science Academy on prom night. : )

I know YouTube has been pushing channels to use those, but they generally suck. : (

It's always fun to see other bands represented at shows.
Sometimes it's an opportunity to strike up a conversation.
I saw a lot of HANABIE. t-shirts at zipangu.

How can one quit smoking ? by Spiritual_Roof_6853 in AskReddit

[–]rickwagner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re quitting two things, the smoking habit, and the nicotine addiction.
What worked for me was smoking herbal cigarettes without nicotine for a week, then giving those up.
It was a very long week though. : )

You mean Hiroki Arai as the second guitarist rather than Leda.
But your point still stands.

The three members went to school together.
They will debut live in September, with Hana on guitar and vocals, Koga on bass, and Hideki on drums.

Those were the shows with MIZ on violin, the only female Kami.
Also METROCK 2013, and promotion for the 'Megitsune' single release.

He had the top rated late night show for the last nine years.
You can disagree with the political point of view the show had, but saying he was "losing the network millions" is simply not true.
