Hey guys!

Honestly a flipping banger. Shoutout to @Carthez for requesting this. I love the prechorus and also the chorus, especially because it also gives me major anime intro vibes hahaha

Like I asked in the video, is there any sort of guide to babymetal that can be recommended. Im genuinely so interested into the story of Babymetal. Who thought of the concept, were there auditions, did the girls still go to school while promoting as Babymetal (since they are babies helloooo? :D)

So many questions hahah but i loved this song, I really had a lot of fun listening to it!

Babymetal started in 2010. So 16 years now. They were created by producer Key Kobayashi (Kobametal). They were all members of an idol group called Sakura Gakuin before Babymetal. Su-metal has been a performer since she was 8 years old and a model since she was 4. There is a reasonable length guide from A Fox Song on YouTube https://youtu.be/BXqj9wJ6Z-w?is=dGv9fFqAL_-HwdFx The one Carthez linked is great but it is 2 hours long and may be a bit much for a Babymetal noob

Yeah, the 40-minute one is good, but it’s missing a lot of things—especially the latest stuff, considering it’s updated to early 2024. I also much prefer Gaby-metal’s version because he does the talking himself instead of using a digital voice. I watched Metaraji’s video too, and it’s really great.

As far as auditions, not in the traditional sense. Kei Kobayashi, from here on known as Kobametal or Koba, saw Su perform in her first group, Karen Girl's, when she was 10 and was impressed by her stage presence and powerful voice. He thought she was limited by being in the pop genre, and dreamed up the concept of Babymetal as a way to showcase her voice. He wanted to pair her up with a set of twins, like the Shobijin, twin fairies in Japanese folklore. The idea sat there, and a couple years later he was producing for a pre teen group Sakura Gakuin, and Su was a member. He got permission to do a one off song, Doki Doki Morning, and added Yui and Moa, who were chosen for their small stature and how closely the resembled each other, visually and singing. as much as talent. And Babymetal was born. It was always a vehicle for Su's talents.

The song same out in 2011. When Babymetal split off from Sakura Gakuin, they reloaded all the videos under a new channel and the years got updated. The first video I saw was Headbanger in 2013, and this metalhead was a fan before Su stopped headbanging. And yes they went to regular school and took public transportation. Their parents put Babymetal second behind school. Once they opened for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and missed the kickoff of the tour because the girls had finals. School first. In fact there's a cute Moa story she blogged. She had a parent teacher meeting after Babymetal rehearsal, and the plan was Moa would go home and meet her mom and head to the meeting together. Well rehearsal went long, and she texted her mom change of plans, she would meet mom at school. When she got to school, Mama Moa was livid, and laid down the law - if Babymetal caused Moa to miss her obligations at school she would have to quit Babymetal. Babymetal in those days only performed when school was on break.

Got to listen to METALI Live you get to experience the band first hand then the girls lovely crowd interaction and the song it self is a fun festival type song Live at Legend MM is the one you need to see https://youtu.be/529KPSbExRI?is=VgB5DiHu5gFpiR7v

It's updated to 2026. There has been a new version since April.

It’s really satisfying when someone who doesn't usually listen to metal manages to appreciate the genre anyway. I agree that you can enjoy a song even if it’s not the genre you typically listen to; that’s kind of what happened to me with K-pop. I used to listen almost exclusively to metal—and usually stuff much heavier than Babymetal (I’ll probably recommend Hanabie to you in the future; they’re one of my favorite Japanese bands)—but little by little, I managed to find things I liked in other genres, too. Ultimately, all it takes is finding one part of a song that clicks with you to make you appreciate the whole thing, and I’m sure there are other Babymetal songs you might like even more than "Doki Doki Morning" (for instance, you still haven't heard the songs sung solely by Moa and Yui). As I mentioned on YouTube, I wanted to introduce you to ONE OK ROCK next month—so ONE OK ROCK for YouTube, and the Babymetal guide for Patreon (though since it’s two hours long, I don’t know when you’ll manage to get through it, haha).

Hi! New Patreon here :D If you like this type of babymetal song you should react to “iine” as well!!!

The MV was made maybe a year after the creation of the song, and they looked even younger in the studio (maybe also relate to how they dressed ?). Doki Doki Morning is about happy/excited getting up in the morning, so some fans have it set as their phone alarm for in the morning, it really makes for a fun way to wake up, a good start of the day. The MV that went viral is Gimme Choco: it currently sits at 222M views, which for anything metal related is high. And I think part of the reason is: it's a 'live MV'. Babymetal was started by 'Koba', he was working with bands, but bands did not do well in the charts anymore, because in Japan at that time, large idol groups had found a way to break the counting system of the charts (selling CDs for handshake time at handshake events). He was asked to work at the kids department and there he went to look for talent. He saw Suzuka (Su-metal) perform and knew: I need to work with her, she has an unusual talent (wasted on just doing regular J-pop) and she seems to fit the loud music I like. So Babymetal was the way to bring more diverse genres in the charts, as a gateway band to metal music. At first management did not allow this silly idea (after all band music sales were down). But as part of a bigger group, the financial investment/risk was a lot lower and thus it was allowed in that way. A lot of the first foreign Youtube comments were very much: this isn't right, this isn't what we want, etc. but often with far worse words. Eventually it was clear: doing something new in metal often gets hate at first, the metal community is a bit conservative. And is an outsider, because Babymetal did not directly come out of bands culture (Kobametal clearly is though). Some people did like it. First of all: at 10 you have compulsory education, like almost all countries around the world have this, ages might differ like 15, 16 or 18 years old, etc. (Japan is 15 I believe). It looks like at least 1 Babymetal member (we don't know a lot about their private lives, which most fans think it's a good thing), went to university (it's from a leak). Sakura Gakuin (SG) the group they were part of was a school themed idol group, but actually that was sort of secondary, they were actually a system to take the companies most talented girls and teach them/give them more experience in singing, dancing, learning how to do interviews and from both sides of the interview, presenting, doing photo shoots, etc. and in the early days even more broad entertainment like acting, etc. So that was extra school work. Sakura Gakuin's teaching/school system was from age 10 to 15, so 10 was normal for SG. That said: Yui started as a child model/actor at age 6, Moa started at age 8 as a model and Suzuka started at age 3 and got professional guidance (Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH), kind of like SG at age 8. ASH is where famous J-pop idols Perfume are from, Perfume with their electronic music and J-pop mix was part of the inspiration of Babymetal, proving that the general idea can work. ASH is also where the choreographer Mikiko comes from, she was a founding teacher and the choreographer of Perfume, Karen Girl's (where Suzuka first ended up), Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal, etc. The real hassle was: doing world tours as Babymetal, for Yui(metal) and Moa(metal) also being in SG and doing regular school. Anyway, a guide is a good idea, but a guide can be really dense in information, so if you've read this already, it helps with retaining the information. PS Surprisingly: the law isn't that different, it's just that Japanese companies are more protective, it mostly a company policy/Japanese and company cultural choice. And depends on company, the group/anime and even time, over time their position on the topic can change. Not common, but for western companies that has traditionally been: allow more, Japanese companies can go both ways.

Did you know a newer 40-minute one exists ?

Roger P

OMG! Thank you for the link. I knew bits and pieces and saw some the early vids showing them with Sakura Gakun. The Kawaii-Metal concept was just so insane. I don't know how they popped up on my feed. I listen mainly to Alternative rock, nu-metal, etc. Then I saw the first video Gimme Chocolate and I was blown away and started consuming everything i cold find on Youtube. But thanks to them I eventually found K-Pop. I don't listen to them much anymore but I really appreciate them for being the gateway that ultimately led me to Blackpink and Babymonster.

Carthez

My journey was a bit more roundabout, haha—I went through a lot of other Japanese bands before getting into K-pop. Gaby-metal's channel is really interesting if you want to explore the world of Babymetal, as she makes great videos covering everything related to them. I also recommend this fan-made site, where you can find plenty of additional information. https://babymetaltube.com/

Jess

thank you so much for the link!! im still debating whether i should start a japanese channel and when i would do that. I think the guide would be perfect for that then :D being in front of the camera and people since you are 4 years old is just ICONIC HELLO?

Jess

thank you so much for explaining!

Jess

holy shit, yes its the 'education' before anything rule especially in asian families hahahah, insane how it worked out well regardless (im assuming at least!)

Jess

this was an amazing explanation thank you so much! a guide is what i love to watch, i just have to figure out when, because of me potentially doing a japanese music react channel. A guide to babymetal would be perfect to kind of start on that new channel then but ye D:

Jim Nusbaum

Yes and the amazing thing is that by all accounts she is still a sweet and humble young woman. The Babymetal ladies keep their private lives completely private. No socials, no meet and greets, always in character. We have only a handful of pictures and videos of them outside of their stage personas in the last 10+ years and in that time they have not done a single interview where they talk about their private lives. I think that has helped them stay "normal".
