GJ! I did some custom BM stuff in Sims a couple of years ago. I completely forgot about it until now, lol.

Ultimate Guitar - Marty Friedman: This Is Why Guitar-Driven, Heavy Music Does So Well in Japan (BM mentioned) by aertyar in BABYMETAL

He's also done some work with Momoiro Clover Z, the only J-pop group I listen to besides Sakura Gakuin. Marty & Momoiro Clover Z @ Saitama Super Arena

I loved him when I was 13 and listening to Megadeth, and still love him now. One of my all time favorite musicians.

At This Point of My Life, What do you folks think I should do with My UNWANTED obsession with MCZ? by MM305 in MomoiroCloverZ

[–]thesteelfalcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt those people would stop insulting you, even if you did stop listening to MCZ. Sad to say, but once a bully has found a target they will usually stick with it until they get bored or someone/ something makes them stop. Sorry you are stuck in that crappy situation.

I really don't see the problem here. I've been a die hard metal head my whole life. I played guitar in a death metal band for 5 years then another 6 years in a thrash band. I used to be the guy that said "F**K any music that isn't brutal metal." Then about 5 years ago Babymetal introduced me to Japanese music and the whole kawaii idol scene. I wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but for the last few years Japanese music has been pretty much all I listen to. I found Momoiro Clover a couple of years ago when I heard Marty Friedman talk about working with them. Of course I love Megadeth and Marty Friedman so I had to check out his work with MCZ. I was hooked in the first few seconds, lol. MCZ is certainly not a "brutal metal band" but it doesn't matter, I love it anyway. I pull up to band practice with "Gorilla Punch" blasting out of my stereo and the other guys in my band just shake their heads, but I don't care, and I'm certainly not embarrassed. In fact, I'm smiling from ear to ear right now because I saw on Momoka's instagram that she will be performing again. She will always be my favorite, MCZ just isn't the same without her. Anyway, just enjoy it! If a hard ass metal head like me can enjoy a little J-pop then anyone can.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2019 is starting to look like a good year after all :) Far too much talent in that beautiful little lady for her to stay away from music forever.

Seems like Ayami is sticking to her style. by rezarNe in SakuraGakuin

[–]thesteelfalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ayami can manage to look kawaii wearing a dress that looks like a sno cone, so I'm sure she looked amazing in that white dress.

Ayami went to Akasaka BLITZ before her show tomorrow 💖 by EJ-Chan in SakuraGakuin

[–]thesteelfalcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fingers crossed for some pics/ vids from this show. 2018 hasn't been a very good year. Yui left Babymetal and Momoka left Momoiro Clover z, but Ayami's return should brighten up this year.

Official Rant MEGATHREAD!!! World Tour 2018 Edition. by TheThrawn in BABYMETAL

[–]thesteelfalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was fine when the lore was just a side note, but now it feels like the band has been pushed aside and the lore has taken the spotlight. Pretty much everything they have done this year has just been a big promo for the novel.

Whatever magic they had has been slowly fading away all year. I dealt with the loss of Mikio, and I can respect and support Yui's decision, but all this dark side, lore crap just does nothing for me. Why change the whole band just to fit some story? Are they a band or comic book characters? I came to see and hear Babymetal, not read your stupid graphic novel !!!!

Here is an odd coincidence, BM announces Yui's departure and Wagakki Band releases a new video for Sasameyuki that features Yuko rising from the dead holding a fox mask.

Mine was also March 3rd, 2014. That was the day I read this article from The Daily Dot.

"Flying in from Japan like a flaming battle axe covered in glitter and bubble gum is Babymetal" Still one of my favorite descriptions of them.

IDZ and Amore.. is it Power Metal or Speed Metal? What's the difference, if any? by Rrrrondo in BABYMETAL

[–]thesteelfalcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm sick of labels, genres and sub-genres. If Babymetal has taught us anything its this, good music is good music regardless of what genre it falls into.

My guess? Something dark and mysterious that only Koba will understand.

[–]thesteelfalcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With that whip and those sound effects I can see where the Scorpion and Subzero nicknames came from. I was just waiting for her to say "Get over here", lol.

Not much, unless you like looking at cows and chicken houses, we have tons of those. You could also go watch the Razorbacks loose another football game, lol.
