BABYMETAL – Distortion (OFFICIAL)

It originally began as a spin-off unit from the idol group Sakura Gakuin, formed under the theme of “the fusion of idols and metal.” Backed by their band known as the “Kami Band,” they have now become an act big enough to perform on the main stages of major rock festivals around the world.

Divine Attack – Shingeki –BABYMETAL16rank/position

BABYMETAL – Divine Attack – Shingeki – (OFFICIAL VISUALIZER)

This BABYMETAL track captivates with its powerful message and exhilarating, fast-paced sound.

It garnered attention as SU-METAL’s first work as a lyricist.

The song features a striking call to take action—now is the time to carve your own path and move toward the future you’ve envisioned.

Released digitally in October 2022 and later included on the March 2023 album THE OTHER ONE, it portrays the strength to face challenges and a hopeful outlook toward the future.

Give it a listen when you feel the urge to change your life!

Do-Ki-Do-Ki ☆ Morning – Doki Doki ☆ MorningBABYMETAL17rank/position

BABYMETAL – Do-Ki-Do-Ki☆Morning – Doki Doki☆Morning (OFFICIAL)

An early track whose opening melody, reminiscent of chatty high school-girl intonation, was widely featured on overseas TV.

In performance, it makes full use of idol-like cuteness while alternating with the heavy, metallic parts as the song progresses.

It’s quintessential BABYMETAL, with a thoroughly crafted structure and overall arrangement.

In the official music video, the JK idol vibe gradually gets steeped in metal and then shifts back again, matching the song perfectly.

Although it’s rated more highly abroad than in Japan, I’d love to see Japanese fans reevaluate it—and it feels like a track that could also add a nice accent to late-night club sets.

CRAZY LOVE !BABYMETAL18rank/position

BABYMETAL – Crazy Love【Kawaii Angel】

It’s a digest version of live footage, but it captures their appeal really well.

There’s an innocent vibe in their expressions and performance, yet it’s amazing that they can still achieve such outstanding results.

I think you should start by watching this video—and from there, become a fan.

BABYMETAL & Rob Halford – Painkiller, Breaking The Law

Live footage from BABYMETAL’s big overseas breakthrough that was covered endlessly on Japanese news programs from morning till night.

Rob Halford and BABYMETAL—two wildly contrasting acts—deliver authentic metal sounds together.

Apparently, at this venue, other performers were saying things like, “Who are those tiny girls in weird outfits?” But once the performance began, opinions flipped.

That’s how quickly they won over the audience’s hearts—proof they were a rising act with real talent.

It’s also a song by Judas Priest, revered as founders of heavy metal, and a fan favorite among BABYMETAL’s “mates.”

Over The Future (Rising Force Ver.)BABYMETAL20rank/position

Babymetal – Over the Future (Rising Force Version)

The 2012 live performance of Over The Future (Rising Force Ver.) is highly regarded even among fans.

The contrast between the trio’s soaring high tones, their intense movements, and the metal sound is outstanding, with each element enhancing the others in a harmonious way that’s truly captivating.

It’s a gem of a live video, highly recommended for fans who love the idol-style choreography performances from that era.

Benitsuki -Akatsuki-BABYMETAL21rank/position

BABYMETAL – Benitsuki – Akatsuki- (Air Vocal ver.)

It’s a song that starts off astonishingly, exceptionally quiet.

Up until the vocals come in, you might mistake it for an idol ballad, but then the performance kicks in fiercely, like it’s waking you up.

It’s perfect for mornings and great for studying for exams.
