SamCrusader1 Yes it is respect they show but it is also 100/s of years of tradition added. Even though they hate foreigners I have the utmost respect for them and their culture. If only my country can have such culture. Only thing my country thinks of is "Lets get rid of all the whites and chase away all the foreigners so we can take back the country they "stole" from us." The UK banned us from migrating to their country since they say we drink to much. which is kinda true.

+Chloe Boulter She was the president of the idol studio the three girls come from. In each studio one girl is assigned the task of being strong for the other girls and always offering encouragement, so yes, the other girls do look up to Su, and she in turn looks after them. It's probably why she did all the talking as the other 2 girls would defer to her as their leader.
@johnschultz77657 жыл бұрын
shadowheart52 Actually, Su was the member-leader of just 1 Idol group (Sakura Gakuin) from Amuse, Inc. And only during her last year in the group. The group "Concept" is that of a girls school (Cherry Blossom Academy). Moa was the "Student Council President" 2 years later, being her and Yui's last year in the group. Su is 1½ years older. Babymetal was formed as a sub-group of Sakura Gakuin during its first year in 2010, but because of its popularity became its own group upon Su's "graduation" from SG in March of 2013.

Interestingly, in a previous interview (for a Japanese channel) they revealed how their entire kitsune mythology came about: right back when they started, they were doing a photoshoot and the photographer tried to make them do the standard metal horns. One of the girls said something to the effect of "That looks like a fox!", the photographer said something to the effect of "I can work with that", and so some bright spark in the creative team came up with the kitsune mythology backstory, which understandably ties heavily into Japanese kitsune folklore.

EpicSeamen i have a japanese girlfriend dude... well idk what we are now.. anyway, it's not "Disrespectful" saying add-ons like "-tan" and "-Tama" are CUTE, Kawaii, Kirei, Etc. And "-Senpai" was solely to acknowledge that she's the senpai of the group, not to me. i know what i'm talking about. thanks for the misinformed info though. Secondly, Suzuka-senpai is definitely the representative of the group. in Japan, it's more often that in any group, the Eldest of the group is to speak out. Lastly, it's not uncool to say chan, tan, san, senpai, sama, tama, etc. that's totally your idea.it's adorable to call Moa-sama, my sama, to me. it's not disrespectful AT ALL. who the hell is your friend man. saying Moa-sama merely mean i look up to her. Yui-tan, is merely the cute way to say Yui-san, she's not my san, but i didn't want to say chan, as it cannot be used with a "t". and i already explained why i say suzuka-senpai.

Someone (I'm guessing the creator of Babymetal) liked the sign and decided they should keep it. I'm not sure if that's how they came up with the Fox God mythology or if that was already planned and the Fox sign happened later. Either way, cute story. :)

Aha not many people in south africa like J-rock or pop. just like a few hundred. Would've loved to see them in action. BabyMetal is like another fav of mine. Lets see of the J-rock well the top 3 in no order is BabyMetal, Yousei Teikoku and High and Mighty Color. and when its vocaloid music then its Save The Queen, Crow'sClaw, and Draw the Emotional. But the band that I saw Yousei in first was in a video of Malice Mizer - Beast Blood. I would so LOVE to see bands like BabyMetal and Yousei Teikoku in South Africa. Wanna take a picture with them also and get a kiss from Yousei mayhap from all three Moa, Yui and Suzuka. But yeah some of these peoples comments i find very rude and disrespectful towards such a band as BabyMetal such as Runeding's Viking Reviews. The fox god is one of the gods of harvest cant remember what region though but they normally take a bountiful of their harvest and burn in on a bonfire as an offering while singing and dancing in honor of the god for giving such a good year of harvest. To actually make fun of these girls with the fox god is the biggest dishonor ever. Its like saying "Your music is awesome but your culture sucks." Japan has the biggest cultural beliefs and traditions which are very fascinating.

BabyMetalWorldDomination Always a pleasure. Ill check out One OK Rock and see if they are to my liking and perhaps ill end up with some of their music and videos. Most of the Jrock and Jpop bands I find via Anime intros and endings the others I find via youtube while im busy searching for those ive heard on an anime ive been watching. But BabyMetal, my friend referred to me, funny thing is he didnt even like Jmusic. until ive shown him Coaltar Of The Deepers - Dead By Dawn. That was when he got hooked on it. First i didnt like BabyMetal when i heard Doki Doki Morning. Then when i was bored and wanted new Jmusic to listen to that song started nagging and gnawing at the the back of my head now i am a fan of their music. But yeah those i have music vids of are Nami Tamaki, Nana Kitade, Nightmare, Nirgilis, Scandal, Stereopony, Younha, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Yousei Teikoku, HMC (high and mighty color) and AKFG (asain kung-fu generation). There are a bunch others like Uverworld, Yui, Yui Horie, Rei Fu, Orange Range, Gazette etc etc. Also got a few Kmusic but its like one or 2 songs of an artist that i listen to but my Jmusic i listen to everyday and i play it also when i go to bed, well 95% of the time actually.

EpicSeamen I love their entire 2010 album, Niche Sydrome. Most of the songs are fast paced and at least one of them, "Never Let This Go", is sung in English. The rest of the songs are a pretty even split between Japanese and English. That's one of the main reasons I recommend them to new Japanese music fans. They have a ballad on it called, "Wherever you are", which wasn't released as a single but been a big favorite of their fans, especially female fans. Lots of fan made videos on YT of it to check out. You'll find most band's music by doing a google search of the band name and the word "Discography".
