The Evolution of BABYMETAL#babymetal #moametal #sumetal #yuimetal #moakikuchi #モアメタル #スゥメタル

BABYMETAL burst onto the scene in 2010, blending J-pop idol energy with heavy metal riffs to create their own genre, “kawaii metal.” Starting as a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin, they quickly gained global attention with hits like Gimme Chocolate!! and groundbreaking performances at Summer Sonic and Wembley Arena. Their albums, from Metal Resistance to Metal Galaxy, shattered records, with Metal Galaxy becoming the highest-charting Japanese-language album in U.S. history. Despite lineup changes, they’ve continued to evolve—welcoming Momometal in 2023, signing with Capitol Records, and in 2025 becoming the first Japanese act to sell out London’s O2 Arena. BABYMETAL has turned a quirky concept into a worldwide metal phenomenon. #babymetal #moametal #sumetal #yuimetal #moakikuchi #yuimizuno #babymetaldeath #kawaiimetal #jpopmetal #staymetal #ベビーメタル #モアメタル #スゥメタル #ユイメタル #日本のバンド
