HOLY CRAP! Their english has gotten so good! First interview in how long?

[@franzbas2562]

On camera? Almost three years. Moa was still in high school. She turns 20 on Thursday (7/4). They grow up so fast…

[@ttakenaka2001]

Hey Translator, you better do your job right..... Your Crap: "Elevator Girl' started off as being relatively young and over the past years we've becoming adults and this song expresses that. There's a shift and a change in how we've matured to becoming adults. 'Elevator Girl' represents our maturity." What SUMETAL said in Japanese was...: "About this song.... Our concept of music was always the fusion of "METAL & KAWAII", however used to be, it was "METAL & KAWAII" performed by little girls since we were very young. But now our music was changing into more mature fusion of "METAL & KAWAII" And I am feeling "Elevator Girl" is a kind of a symbol of our transformation of more mature "METAL & KAWAII," And I think this song should be one of our sign to public that we became adults but we will be still pursuing in our music what is the fusion of "METAL & KAWAII" as adult women from now on in our career."

[@ThePostOffice3]

Haven't been following them. could you summerise it for me

[@rickwagner-]

@Chintachai Thanasinkasetchai There are three new dancers who will be rotating in the third BABYMETAL position. So far Riho Sayashi (former Hello! Project/Morning Musume) has performed twice, and Kano Fujihira (currently a Sakura Gakuin member) once. We have not seen the third rotating dancer yet. NOTE: This is a dance only, not a singing role at this point. As they announced at the first Yokohama Arena show on June 28th; "Only the Fox God Knows" which of the three will appear at any particular concert. Fans are overall very happy to see three people on stage (last year they experimented with different numbers of dancers). The new costumes and hairstyles are also going over well, and they just gave their first post-concert video interview in three years. Here's the 2019 tour info. www.babymetal.com/en/tour/ Besides the 20 city tour of the USA this year, they recently announced a bunch of 2020 dates in Europe, etc. The new album is due out October 11th, and latest couple of songs have been really surprising (in a good way, in my opinion).
