Yui Mizuno , 水野 由結 , born June 20, 1999 is a Japanese musician, singer, model, and actress. She is a former member of the kawaii metal group Babymetal and the idol group Sakura Gakuin. In October 2018, she left Babymetal due to an undisclosed illness. She is managed by the Amuse, Inc. talent agency.
On August 2, 2010, at the age of 11, Mizuno joined Sakura Gakuin, an idol group managed by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. She joined at the same time as another future Babymetal member, Moa Kikuchi. Sakura Gakuin had not yet released its debut single. During their audition, Mizuno and Kikuchi performed a duo dance cover of "Over The Future" by Karen Girl's, two former members of which, Ayami Mutō and Suzuka Nakamoto, had also recently joined Sakura Gakuin.
Besides performing as a whole group, Sakura Gakuin members were also divided into smaller subgroups known as "clubs." Each club had its own musical group that recorded its own songs. Mizuno and Kikuchi first became members of the "Baton Club" and its musical group Twinklestars. As backing singers and dancers, they were later teamed with lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto in a "Heavy Music" club, with the associated music group being named Babymetal. Before the formation of this club, none of the three members knew what heavy metal was.
Babymetal became an independent recording group in 2012. Mizuno "graduated" from Sakura Gakuin in 2015, and from then on performed with Babymetal exclusively. Mizuno and Kikuchi have a writing credit under the name "Black Babymetal" on the first Babymetal album in 2014, having written "Song 4" together during a bus trip. The second Babymetal album, Metal Resistance, was released in 2016.
Following a leave from the show Legend "S" Baptism XX, Mizuno was absent from Babymetal's tour of the United States in May 2018, with no advance warning. Amid fan speculation on Mizuno's status with the group, a representative of 5B Management, the American management company representing Babymetal, replied to an inquiry from Alternative Press Magazine by saying that "Yuimetal remains a member of the band, but she is not on this current U.S. tour." However, she was also absent from Babymetal's European tour in June 2018. On October 19, 2018, Babymetal officially announced that Yuimetal would not be joining the band for the next phase of their tour and would no longer be a member of the group due to poor health. Mizuno released a statement shortly after about her decision to leave Babymetal, explaining that she may go on to pursue a solo career in the future.
Live: Legend 1999 & 1997 Apocalypse is the second live video release by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. The album contains live footage of two shows, entitled Legend "1999" and Legend "1997" (named after birth years of the members of Babymetal), performed in Japan in 2013.
The concert Legend "1999" was performed on June 30, 2013, in between the 14th birthdays of Mizuno and Kikuchi. 3,600 attended the show at NHK Hall. Notably, Mizuno and Kikuchi cover the Petitmoni song "Chokotto Love" and Morning Musume song "Love Machine". The songs are subtitled Big Time Changes and From Hell With Love, respectively, and are named after albums released by heavy metal band Seikima-II. Additionally, Nakamoto debuts the power ballad "No Rain, No Rainbow", with Mizuno and Kikuchi later appearing to play the piano together; the song would later appear on the band's second album Metal Resistance.
Babymetal, Japanese: ベビーメタル, is a Japanese kawaii metal band consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal" and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal". The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band".
The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Su-metal, Moametal, and Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal", with the concept of creating a fusion of the heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013, following Nakamoto's departure from Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal released their eponymous debut album in February 2014. Their second album Metal Resistance was released worldwide in April 2016. Babymetal has also embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking place outside of Asia. The group released their third album Metal Galaxy in October 2019.
On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno had decided to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017. Since her departure, the band has performed with backup dancers at live performances. In 2019, the band introduced three backup dancers called "Avengers" who performed in rotation at each live show to form a trio with Moametal and Su-metal.

[@KHETTIUS]

Privacy is a big thing in Japanese society, even the press respect privacy there, if you look back at interviews from just prior to her getting injured, you can see she is detached and quite disinterested, just going through the motions. Yui simply didn't want to do babymetal anymore, and she's entitled to go live her life in peace.

Thats it if you leave your Band your nuts.🤷‍♂️ Now Baby Metal gets more and more Famous so whats the matter. Just dont leave.

[@jefflewis836]

After making millions of bucks, why not retire and move on to other things. The girls are older now and don't fit the image of young girls anymore. They've given up enough of their lives to performing and now can pursue other interest without worrying about money. Most bands break up in a few years for many reasons. Maybe time to work behind the scenes with other young girls using their experience to guide and protect. At 25 it is about time to give up the teenager style of dancing and performing. Joan Jett said about the Runaways at 18 they were old enough to do what they want and what was their to run away from, or something to that effect. She started her own band and continued to perform.

[@ezekielwilton3301]

To the people saying the image of Yui holding up the middle finger being fake, I don’t think that’s the case. I distinctly remember seeing her do that in one of the live performances of one of the songs that only features her & Moa. I believe it was because they’re actually saying the f word in one of their songs if you were able to translate it.

Something sinister happened because for 7(SEVEN) years there hasn't been a peep from her

[@ominous-omnipresent-they]

In no way does that imply anything sinister.

[@SenseofNoneYT]

Wasn't it a health issue for Yui? Something like a chronic condition she's always had. Why does it have to be sinister? Let's not jump the gun here. Also, even Suzuka and Moa don't really even use social media so no one truly knows what's going on with *their* personal lives. They're very private people and I honestly respect that.

[@ars4455]

@@ominous-omnipresent-they I would say sinister and scary...very scary for a public figure like Yui to just disappear FOR ALMOST SEVEN YEARS! There is no news, no photos, no videos, nothing... the girl now looks like a ghost... and we are talking about disappearing in a world full of cameras, cell phones, internet, social media, etc, etc. .. this is only possible if she has been locked inside the house for SEVEN YEARS

[@ominous-omnipresent-they]

@@ars4455 Okay, let's examine what little we do know. Yui departed the group in 2018 after a year of inactivity due to an undisclosed illness. Have you considered that maybe this is something very personal to her? It certainly would for me.

@@ominous-omnipresent-they like I said, Yui could have a million reasons to leave BABYMETAL and I would understand her perfectly... it's a tiring job... rehearsals, tours, international trips, hotels, etc... maybe she was tired of it all . ..ok, my point is always about her silence and complete disappearance... that's not normal... something else happened... 2018 was a bad year for BABYMETAL...

[@Rawbtala]

Su and Moa should graduate, and management should recruit new members for some freshness.

[@Double_J_48629]

that would be the absolute end of the experiment. Su and Moa are way too integral to the identity of the group. people would immediately stop caring , as it would be just another dime-a-dozen idol gimmick. notice how Metalverse isn't really catching on at all. i already don't like that they continue to push Kami Band further and further in to the background. that obviously foreshadows their elimination , which will also cause metal fans to abandon the group (as their presence was essential to giving BM credibility to the metal crowd to begin with).

[@CHRISCONTEPSS]

@@Double_J_48629 All excellent observations. I'm a huge fan, but know this has about 4 or 5 years left max. And rightly so.
