[BABYMETAL] A curated selection of their globally acclaimed masterpieces and fan favorites

VlogBABYMETAL

For fans of Western music, especially those who love British rock, Wembley Arena is like a sacred place, and having a Japanese female artist perform a concert there is like a dream come true.

Even so, her confident live performance is truly impressive.

BABYMETAL – Kon! Kon! feat. Bloodywood (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

This is a powerful collaborative track by two cross-border acts: Japan’s BABYMETAL and Indian metal band Bloodywood.

It’s an overwhelming fusion of BABYMETAL’s signature catchiness with a heavy sound infused with Indian folk music.

The lyrics—rapidly weaving through Japanese, English, and Hindi—embody their determination to break down cultural barriers and move forward together into the future.

This track will be included on the album “METAL FORTH,” slated for release in August 2025.

The feverish energy born from this intercultural chemistry may very well give you goosebumps.

White LoveBABYMETAL

White Love – SPEED (Full)

I used to have some doubts about what it would be like when idol vocals are combined with metal, but after listening many times and getting used to it, the heavy instrumentation and the sweet female voice fit together exquisitely.

And I feel that balance is really good.

This track is a bit minor, but it’s worthwhile.

from me to u feat. PoppyBABYMETAL

BABYMETAL – from me to u feat. Poppy (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

A quintessential BABYMETAL track that weaves sweet melodies into a heavy metal sound, released in April 2025 and included on the album “METAL FORTH.” Its collaboration with singer Poppy drew a lot of attention.

The passionate lyric “Charge forward, fueled by anger” leaves a strong impression.

With its powerful beat perfectly balanced by pop sensibilities, this song is a must-listen for anyone seeking a fresh musical discovery.

Sakura Gakuin – “FRIENDS” Music Video [Sakura Gakuin]

As expected, when talking about the three members of BABYMETAL coming together and getting their start, you can’t leave out Sakura Gakuin, the idol group whose TV show they all regularly appeared on.

Within that group, they began as a sub-unit called the Heavy Music Club (Jūon-bu), which was the origin of BABYMETAL.

At first, many people thought they might be a slightly odd unit aimed at idol-otaku, but despite their cute appearance—typical of junior idols in elementary and middle school—they showed high-level skills in singing, dance, and performance.

Thanks to strong acclaim overseas, they came to be recognized as a talented group around the world and, in a sort of reverse import, in Japan as well.

Here is a singing scene from a Sakura Gakuin event they participated in during their graduation year.

It’s a video that fans still talk about as a legendary stage, where everyone sings at maximum ability to match YOI-METAL’s vocal tone and style.

VixenBABYMETAL

BABYMETAL – Megitsune – Vixen (OFFICIAL)

What surprises me when I watch BABYMETAL videos is the number of views.

This video has surpassed 26 million views, easily exceeding a level that even top Japanese artists take years to reach—or never reach at all.

They are truly outstanding, bona fide idols and artists born in the Heisei era.

Headbanger!!BABYMETAL

BABYMETAL live in Switzerland / Headbanger!!

This is a video of a live performance in Switzerland.

The audience is already excited even before the music starts, and the burst of catharsis that follows all at once feels truly incredible.

Even so, it’s really a mystery where this power comes from in these three young idols with such slender bodies.
