I'm an old metalhead (headed for 5-0 very soon) and these girls and this group are just FUN! To all the haters, get a sense of humor, why don't you? The band is hot, the girls are cute, and this shit just makes me smile! And not much in music makes me smile anymore. I'd rather listen to this than some maladjusted scumbag croaking like a fucking frog over "speed for speed's sake" metal. And, just think, this band may just be the group that manages to bring metal back to the US. If they turn out to be the "gateway drug" that gets some young 'uns listening to good music again, what's the difference? It's all product anyway.
Well said sir! Some people take it way too seriously. I always find it amusing that self-appointed metal purists are so intimidated by three cute little girls from Japan!! The same people who bemoan the lack of interest in guitar music and the omnipotence of rap etc should welcome BABYMETAL with open arms. The amount of people who have been introduced to metal because of BABYMETAL is huge. I know loads of people who were not into metal at all before discovering them. Most of them are now bonafide metalheads listening to Maiden, Deftones and Rammstein on the reg. So who loses? What are these "purists" so afraid of?!! There are far too many pretentious cunts out there....BABYMETAL FOREVER!!
35 year old metal head here and I love these kids. I mean metal has always been a little tongue in cheek. If someone wants to listen to some incomprehensible Scandinavian stuff recorded in a graveyard and released on a limited run wax cylinder then fair play to them. Inaccessibility doesn't make their music choice any better or worse than anyone else's. This kids make me grin from ear to ear.
Their English is getting way better. At first they didnt know any complex English (Or at least didnt respond in English) besides Yes, No, and some other things. I can hear them using correct pronunciation of English words a lot better than they first started, But i kinda love their broken English, its adorable
I love how Yui can only say "Yes of course I love the UK" in english... she literally never understand a single question, and she always looks like she is bored in every interview xD
Lunar Therian the sad thing is that these girls don't receive the amount of money they deserve.in Japan all these management crooks screw the entertainers.
I think Yui may have had jet lag issues way more than the other two, but who knows maybe she's just deep in thought or super nervous....or a combo of all the above.
+paul fabian I don't think it necessarily shyness. I have a feeling her English is pretty far behind Su's and Moa's. I can see when those two are being asked questions in English they generally understand what they are being asked, but Yui seems to have no idea until the translator speaks.
hateful comments? I started listening to metal when I was 12. I am 55 now. This is very interesting development in Metal. Its all about creating new varieties. Good luck to these girls. Hopefully Kawai Metal is here to stay.
+shredstylist i really hope so, since the music behind the kawaii is so well done, japanese's musicians are gret executors, maybe not so creative but damn they know how to play some fine tunes, and btw when some asshole criticize the girls, do you even know how much work it is to stage a performance like they do? Wtf, some people should stick to their basement..
+shredstylist : I find it funny how some "real metal fans" are bothered by Babymetal. It's not like they are gonna damage metal in any way, since what they do it's NOT metal. It's certainly something related to metal, but it's a different genre, a pop genre that uses metal sounds. Also, it's pretty obvious that, unlike Tokyo Hotel or some other melodic pop bands that use some rock music, they are not marketed as being serious metal artists. The fact that they acknowledge it's something different makes it totally fine for me. If fans think nowadays metal isn't good, maybe it's because it isn't, and that's not Babymetal's fault. I'm not sure I like the way the japanese music industry handle the idol thing, tho. They are basically TRAINED by the age of 10-12 to perform. It's kinda like boybands or child beauty pageants in western countries, it's hardly something natural. They are certainly talented, but girls that age should maybe live more normal lives, not be treated like workhorses. Do you know the industry puts them on diets, make them gain or lose weight, tell them what to say and how to act, they forbid them to engage in relationships with boys to avoid fans being jealous? They all seem happy and cute, but there's actually a dark side to it behind the curtains. Of couse it's the same with dancers, models or any girl in the world of entertainment worldwide, but the idea being widespread doesn't make it right. It's stuff like that that made talented children like Michael Jackson into alienated adults with issues. And I don't even want to think about the millions of girls who get rejected due to being not fit for their image or those who get kicked out from groups for being too "old" (it happened to Babymetal as well, maybe you don't know but Babymetal is a child band to the main act Sakura Gakuin, a pop supergroup of preteen idols, and the girls actually performed in both bands, at least until Suimetal got kicked out, sorry, "graduated" from Sakura Gakuin due to being 17). Not even mentioning those that have to do sexual favours to producers. I don't think in the slightest that the producers of Sakura Gakuin ever did something like that (they are preteen, for God's sake), but some producers of "older" girls actually do these things. Not that western producers don't as well.
Mad respect to this group and the effort they put in to learn English just so they can connect with us. Can you imagine doing it the other way around trying to learn Japanese? Difficult right?
I love BABYMETAL! I play them sometimes at work and everybody is like "wtf is this shit?" I'm like "it's BABYMETAL!" They walk away confused and possibly scarred for life lol.
Yep I love Kpop too! I used to play Gee by Girls' Gen when it came out to death! Finally a coworker cussed me out because I got the song stuck in his head at home! Lol WIN! :D
Actually Gee was the first K-Pop song I ever heard and got me into it, as well as Perfume's "Chocolate Disco" was the first J-Pop song I ever heard I'm now addicted to this type of music and getting addicted to BabyMetal :)
Lol Gee was mine too! I crossed over into kpop after discovering Japan's Berryz Koubou and the little angel Momoko Tsugunaga. :D Also the duo known as "W" in the golden age of jpop, Ai Kago and Tsugi Nozomi. They were involved in scandals (especially Kago-chan :( Look up Robokiss if you haven't seen it and be prepared for kawaii overload! ;)
Yea like when I first saw the video all I was thinking about was..."Why are there 9 members!?" lol But now used to seeing that so it's like a normal thing for us fans ya know :) So from there I checked out all their videos they had at the time as well as other K-Pop artists and got Hooked! I'll have to check out those groups you mentioned and definitely diggin this Kawaii Metal ^_^
I think they are doing a very good job of speaking English , Not like you can't tell they don't know or understand everything , For three young girls who are Touring the world probably having to learn phrases of different languages. I think they are doing a great job .
+HappyAsGosh Yeah they usually only say it to questions that cannot answer but are allowed to be asked in the interview. They can't confirm anything about the future unless the fox god has given them a sign.
Damn! They are FAST learners! Su's pronunciation was two or three years better at the third interview! And Moa and Yui dared to speak more (obviously, that helps to get better)... These girls are true professionals and extreme hard workers. Then again, they're Japanese. I hope they have enough time to rest.
I don't really like the whole babymetal thing, but love them or hate them, they work ridiculously hard, and deserve all the success they get. Together with the musicians, they seem very tight knit - and look like they look after each other well, something other bands should look up to.
Most importantly, at their current status...they are still very humble and not a sense of arrogance. Even their formal teacher in Sakura Gakuin mentioned that they are still the same students (same character) as years back, when he met them after their Tokyo Dome performance. Only top artiste can perform there. His only criticism is that they should act more like super stars, jokingly. All their fans can see their humility that's why we loved them so much.
I've been watching a lot of their videos lately, especially the concerts. This band is on fire! The drums, the guitarists are excellent and being a bass lover, that guy on the bass is outstanding. The girls are obviously beautiful but they're more than that. Su has a great powerful singing voice and these girls obviously work really really hard on their show. They are SO tight with the dances and hand movements. I am so very impressed by everyone in this band.
I wouldn't say all, but most, yes. Clearly they are in the early stages of learning, so they memorized useful phrases first. They'll probably continue to improve as long as they continue to have so much foreign support.
+erad67 The long interview at 2:22 seems like the only one in which they were actually answering live. All the other ones sound like somebody gave them a script to recite.
Their music is my guilty pleasure. Their songs give me chills the same way power metal does when I listen to their songs. I hope they will carry on for many years to come, as it will be interesting to see how their music will be in 10 years!
2:11: Wow, Su-metal really DOES explain Babymetal in English like a boss! Even for her to be good enough in English to know words like "fusion" is pretty impressive. After watching entire video: Wow, nevermind. They're all quiet good at speaking English. Job well done, girls!
Interviewer: "What bands do you want to see live?" Moa: "Ryan who?" (can someone tell me what she said?) Su:"Bling me the Holizon!" Yui:"Gene Simmonzu." This is just fucking awesome!
Patrik Mršić That would've been amazing. They've met almost every other metal heavyweight (still waiting for an Iron Maiden pic :D). I reckon Lemmy would've loved them, and thought it was cool that at their age, they're out there kicking ass in front of huge metal crowds. NOT an easy thing to do, and Lemmy respected hard work. Dimebag would probably have loved them too. Musicians understand because they see how incredible the band is behind the girls. They're some of Japan's elite musicians. Takayoshi even played with Marty Friedman (ex Megadeth member) and Boh is a Bass playing GOD lol
I have seen their videos with their commentary and Su's English voice sounds like her Japanese voice by the tone. I think it's great and I love Moa's Engrish.
the fact they always having sort of doubt on their faces like "did i say it right" after they say something in English is so Awesome. it makes more believable & genuine.
I am 47, and I've been going to metal shows since I was 12. I love all forms of heavy metal music, old school, death metal, metal core, everything in between, from Van Halen to Ozzy to Cannibal Corpse to Emmure, As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, the whole kit and kaboodle. I was very skeptical about Babymetal when I first saw them on youtube, but I decided to go to their show in New York City last week on a lark. I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at the energy and talent of these women and their backing band. I've since downloaded all their tunes on Itunes and I look forward to witnessing their growth and evolution in the coming years. Avenues for improvement: (1) Take the masks off the backing musicians, put them in "normal" clothes and bring them closer to the audience. (2) Have them do some collaborations (studio and live) with some non-Japanese bands such as Lamb of God. I think that Su-Metal's clean vocals paired with Randy's growls would be absolutely amazing.
"(1) Take the masks off the backing musicians, put them in "normal" clothes" that's IMHO like asking Slipknot to take off their masks, or Kiss to wear t-shirt and jeans on stage...
I like their music. Good dance moves and choreography and the backing band is pretty solid. It's so different from traditional metal imagery but somewhat familiar even though foreign.
They are getting better & better with the English language. It's interesting, i feel like Su-Metal is the focal point & star, but in Japan i'm hearing that Yui & Moa are the most popular. But Su is the preferred member in the U.S.
Su's English has gotten really really good since 2015, from what I've heard she can have conversations in English, and she's grown into a beautiful woman(Who's only 6 months older than me)
Su is clearly a very quick study and I fully expect her English to go from strength to strength. To be fair to the other two, they would have spent less time studying English as school, but I was a bit shocked that even in a global retail setting like the Sony HQ in Tokyo, the staff asked me to wait until they could find someone who spoke English fluently. You dont have to go far in Seoul to find someone who speaks English and that's evident in the interviews with many of the K-Pop bands. I periodically clash with some of the BM faithful on YT, but there's no denying that they've outlasted the predictions of many of their early critics - interesting times ahead.
+Arthur Watts Same here, I've had similar experiences in Seoul and Tokyo. I feel that the Koreans are more eager to learn English, whereas the Japanese are much more reluctant to do so.
+Grace Berlian Ponar - Main problem is the katakana. The result is that those Japanese who can speak English are often incomprehensible, But Su, Yui and Moa are amazing and in such a short time!!
+Arthur Watts Yes I agree Su's English is quite good and you can see it getting better. What I find odd is that either Moa or Yui have mentioned before that she enjoys studying english and does so regularly, so why is it both Moa and Yui seem to struggle?
why? Do Japanese need to use English? English is not necessary for their performance. Japanese can not speak English, but the Nobel Prize has won a lot following the US. Japan not using the alphabet is a developed country.
Man I grew up with iron maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax... all the big boys... and this is, for whatever reason, the first "metal" band that has really gained my respect in maybe the past decade or so. Ive been waiting for metal to blend with other genres for so long now and FINALLY these girls pulled it off. Their vocal skills have a LONG way to go (they are still incredibly young) and Im curious to see how they evolve over time. How insane would it be if they start introducing heavier lyrics and really master that iconic metal scream that we love from Iron Maiden. If anyone can revive the passion for metal in the US and the UK these girls just might be the ones to do it.

i salute this man

Interviewer: You want to come back?
Moa: Thank you! :D
Adorable.
Best part XD
Hilary Helena 😭😭 I think she heard him saying I want you come back
They were probably at a lower-intermediate level of English. I wonder how their English is now in 2018? They've most likely improved.
Outstanding! (>_
Their English is getting way better. At first they didnt know any complex English (Or at least didnt respond in English) besides Yes, No, and some other things. I can hear them using correct pronunciation of English words a lot better than they first started, But i kinda love their broken English, its adorable
"Only the Fox God knows" sounds like an excellent answer to stupid questions.
+Broken Me
Same
That's true.
My Manager : By When can I have the report?
Me : Only the fox god knows.
only works if you go to work dressed like one of them
mtsn your a #Savage
Samarth Prabhu this made me laugh so hard man .
"I had so much fun. Thanks to everyone who come to watch us stay. I won't perform here again"
Thank fox god u won't return
“I had so much fun today. Thanks to everyone who come to watch us today. I want perform here again”
I love how Yui can only say "Yes of course I love the UK" in english... she literally never understand a single question, and she always looks like she is bored in every interview xD
+Roy Her English sounds a little awkward
+Roy Yo, change your name. There can only be one.
+Roy .Eristavi Change your own name.
Lunar Therian the sad thing is that these girls don't receive the amount of money they deserve.in Japan all these management crooks screw the entertainers.
I am pretty sure that is the only line of English Yui could comfortably speak at that time. You will notice they had to cue her when to say it. :)
I'd fucking love to see Metallica dance to babymetal
+Matt What if Babymetal collaborated with them?
Reyjan Jaudines Same I'd die happy knowing that I've officially seen the greatest collaboration in music history!
I saw a photo today of Babymetal standing around Kirk Hammett as he held up a Babymetal t-shirt. No dance though.
dambreaker Do you have the link to the picture?
www.blabbermouth.net/news/babymetal-we-learned-a-lot-from-metallica/
At 2:40 I swear moa said I wont preform here again then hits him with that smile lmao
When someone asks a stupid question I'll just say "Only the fox god knows"
"We are berry happy" -su
God I love her so much
+Brandon Boyette Onri ze fox god knows how much you love her OvO
METAL_RESISTANCE yeah i know!
2:41 interviewer: you want to come back??
Moa: Thank You😭😭
Can't get any cuter than this❤️❤️😭😂
They're obviously not fluent in english, but it's adorable to see them try. :)
So cute.......less english, more cuddly Moa is an Godness
4:19 yui is like what is happening ? lol so cute
+vududu She's the cutest for sure.
such.a.cutie.
Absolutely priceless.
I think Yui may have had jet lag issues way more than the other two, but who knows maybe she's just deep in thought or super nervous....or a combo of all the above.
She has that"lets wrap this up" look.
Reporter: what does Fox symbol represents?
Me: a fkin elephant....duh......
lol i was thinking the same thing i was waiting for them to say "only the fox god knows" but they didn't deliver lmbo
I love that girl who keep saying " off course I love the UK " 😂😂😂😂
anil wagley yui😭
yui is so shy.. and that makes her more kawaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!
+paul fabian I don't think it necessarily shyness. I have a feeling her English is pretty far behind Su's and Moa's. I can see when those two are being asked questions in English they generally understand what they are being asked, but Yui seems to have no idea until the translator speaks.
+X1xone still kawaii tho xD
+X1xone no problem.. yui still kawaii forever
yeah, I am not saying she isn't cute. Just that she can't speak English. :)
Its ok.. We love moimoi(moa&yui)
hateful comments? I started listening to metal when I was 12. I am 55 now. This is very interesting development in Metal. Its all about creating new varieties. Good luck to these girls. Hopefully Kawai Metal is here to stay.
*kawaii
+shredstylist ＊Kawaii
+shredstylist i really hope so, since the music behind the kawaii is so well done, japanese's musicians are gret executors, maybe not so creative but damn they know how to play some fine tunes, and btw when some asshole criticize the girls, do you even know how much work it is to stage a performance like they do?

+The Anonymous Trio Thanks
theyte so amazing.
eventhough theyre having hardtime speaking english
theyre still trying their best to speak in english and communicate...
Mad respect to this group and the effort they put in to learn English just so they can connect with us. Can you imagine doing it the other way around trying to learn Japanese? Difficult right?
kawaii meter is way over 9000 here. Moa chan's engrish is too cute
what! over 9000!?!?
I have a feeling Yui Metal doesn't understand whats happening half the time.
+Woozi Hyung More likely she doesn't understand what's being *said* most of the time.
I love BABYMETAL! I play them sometimes at work and everybody is like "wtf is this shit?" I'm like "it's BABYMETAL!" They walk away confused and possibly scarred for life lol.
lol
I get the same sometimes with K-Pop :)
Yep I love Kpop too! I used to play Gee by Girls' Gen when it came out to death! Finally a coworker cussed me out because I got the song stuck in his head at home! Lol WIN! :D
Actually Gee was the first K-Pop song I ever heard and got me into it, as well as Perfume's "Chocolate Disco" was the first J-Pop song I ever heard
I'm now addicted to this type of music and getting addicted to BabyMetal :)
Lol Gee was mine too! I crossed over into kpop after discovering Japan's Berryz Koubou and the little angel Momoko Tsugunaga. :D Also the duo known as "W" in the golden age of jpop, Ai Kago and Tsugi Nozomi. They were involved in scandals (especially Kago-chan :( Look up Robokiss if you haven't seen it and be prepared for kawaii overload! ;)
Yea like when I first saw the video all I was thinking about was..."Why are there 9 members!?"

I'll have to check out those groups you mentioned and definitely diggin this Kawaii Metal
^_^
5:26 "Supah eksaiteeed" OMG I CAN'T
+114Flippy That part is way too cute haha. Also, about Dragonforce - "They ah.. a wondahful gloop" xD
This is the only metal band that bring smile on my face.. Also I love Sue.. she is so cute
I think they are doing a very good job of speaking English , Not like you can't tell they don't know or understand everything ,
For three young girls who are Touring the world probably having to learn phrases of different languages.
I think they are doing a great job .
Does anyone else think that they were just told to say "only the fox god knows" to any questions they don't understand/cannot answer?
+HappyAsGosh Yeah they usually only say it to questions that cannot answer but are allowed to be asked in the interview. They can't confirm anything about the future unless the fox god has given them a sign.
+HappyAsGosh Only the fox god knows
+HappyAsGosh Probably not. If they were asked what is the color of your hair it would sound like they were daft.
+ardalla535 it would be a little bit cute, honestly
Joy Wombacher True, it would be cute
Damn! They are FAST learners! Su's pronunciation was two or three years better at the third interview! And Moa and Yui dared to speak more (obviously, that helps to get better)... These girls are true professionals and extreme hard workers. Then again, they're Japanese. I hope they have enough time to rest.
Absolutely. They work so hard at this. The performances and the music are so tight. It shows how much effort they put into it
I don't really like the whole babymetal thing, but love them or hate them, they work ridiculously hard, and deserve all the success they get. Together with the musicians, they seem very tight knit - and look like they look after each other well, something other bands should look up to.

The girls are obviously beautiful but they're more than that. Su has a great powerful singing voice and these girls obviously work really really hard on their show. They are SO tight with the dances and hand movements. I am so very impressed by everyone in this band.
What an incredible group they are, all very smart too.. ive only recently discovered Babymetal and I’ve been addicted to their music since
Sounds like mostly they have memorized set answers, but they quickly are improving.
apparently their answers are all scrtiped
I wouldn't say all, but most, yes. Clearly they are in the early stages of learning, so they memorized useful phrases first. They'll probably continue to improve as long as they continue to have so much foreign support.
+erad67 Yeah you're right. How else are they gonna learn unless they memorize select phrases and answers that they want to speak? :)
My first Japanese sentence was "Watashi wa kasa desu." "I am an umbrella."
+erad67 The long interview at 2:22 seems like the only one in which they were actually answering live. All the other ones sound like somebody gave them a script to recite.
These Japanese bands are pretty damn good. Band Maid are especially great. Hot Asian girls rockin it out. It's a win win for everyone.
Cyntia as well, look up dazzle vision the lead sing of that band...well...SHE is B0SS
SCANDAL are scandalously hot as well. Their music is more indie-rock than BAND MAID and BABYMETAL.
Agree, Band Maid, Doll$Boxx, Aldious, Bridear. Love these Jrock
Look up ladybaby and maximum the hormone they're good too
Their music is my guilty pleasure. Their songs give me chills the same way power metal does when I listen to their songs. I hope they will carry on for many years to come, as it will be interesting to see how their music will be in 10 years!
Yui seems to be a bit more shy and nervous in these English interview situations than the other two.
William Perry she doesn't speak much in most interviews, she's the quiet one
So cute 😂
2:11: Wow, Su-metal really DOES explain Babymetal in English like a boss! Even for her to be good enough in English to know words like "fusion" is pretty impressive.
After watching entire video: Wow, nevermind. They're all quiet good at speaking English. Job well done, girls!
Interviewer: "What bands do you want to see live?"
Moa: "Ryan who?" (can someone tell me what she said?)
Su:"Bling me the Holizon!"
Yui:"Gene Simmonzu."
This is just fucking awesome!
I think she says "Brian May" guitarist from Queen
+Hatch I Google Ryan Mei. Maybe a little racist but I meant well. :p
Correct. There's even photos of them online, taken together at that event :)
Too bad they never met Lemmy. That's the scene that I would love to see. How would he react.
Patrik Mršić That would've been amazing. They've met almost every other metal heavyweight (still waiting for an Iron Maiden pic :D). I reckon Lemmy would've loved them, and thought it was cool that at their age, they're out there kicking ass in front of huge metal crowds. NOT an easy thing to do, and Lemmy respected hard work.

Their English has gotten so good!! I'm learning Japan in return
I have seen their videos with their commentary and Su's English voice sounds like her Japanese voice by the tone. I think it's great and I love Moa's Engrish.
The engrish is too adorable.
engrish???????
+Arren Lander British English is what he thinks they sound like
I just love them! The cutest rockers ever!
At 3:31, Yui only has to answer one question in English but she misses the question.
SHE IS SO CUTE
They are cuter than Animals. Su is adorable when she speaks!
しゃべらなくても、
ユイメタル可愛い過ぎ！！
6:37 yui why u so cute
It's important for the 3 to learn in english whenever they are on tour and they are really improving.
Love how there bringing back metal for a new generation.... 👍👍👍
They’ve grown so much since then :) their English has gotten so good!
lmao every time they say metallica
they quickly improved their english, we appreciate it and we hope baby metal can be one of the iconic metal
geez man, they are soooo cute, melted my heart
the fact they always having sort of doubt on their faces like "did i say it right" after they say something in English is so Awesome. it makes more believable & genuine.
they deserve a lot of praise as they are so good.
I LOVE how Su speaks in English XD
wow their English got better
you don't ask about the fox god because only the fox god knows
I am 47, and I've been going to metal shows since I was 12. I love all forms of heavy metal music, old school, death metal, metal core, everything in between, from Van Halen to Ozzy to Cannibal Corpse to Emmure, As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, the whole kit and kaboodle. I was very skeptical about Babymetal when I first saw them on youtube, but I decided to go to their show in New York City last week on a lark. I WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED at the energy and talent of these women and their backing band. I've since downloaded all their tunes on Itunes and I look forward to witnessing their growth and evolution in the coming years. Avenues for improvement: (1) Take the masks off the backing musicians, put them in "normal" clothes and bring them closer to the audience. (2) Have them do some collaborations (studio and live) with some non-Japanese bands such as Lamb of God. I think that Su-Metal's clean vocals paired with Randy's growls would be absolutely amazing.
"(1) Take the masks off the backing musicians, put them in "normal" clothes" that's IMHO like asking Slipknot to take off their masks, or Kiss to wear t-shirt and jeans on stage...
Did you know Yui is a big Cannibal Corpse fan?
they are all so positively ADORABLEEEEE!! X3
たまたま関連動画で、出てきたけど、ファンになりました。
I like their music. Good dance moves and choreography and the backing band is pretty solid. It's so different from traditional metal imagery but somewhat familiar even though foreign.
i adore them- not only because of their "emoji" interactions but their talent as well!
AWHHH THEY WERE PROBABLY SO NERVOUS AND PLAYED IT OFF DO WELL I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Su wants to see BMTH?!> NOO its a trap..Su run run run

Best band EVER.
They hella cute and I can't wait to see them tihs weekend
They're so adorable I'm gonna die 😂
They are getting better & better with the English language.
It's interesting, i feel like Su-Metal is the focal point & star, but in Japan i'm hearing
that Yui & Moa are the most popular.
But Su is the preferred member in the U.S.
Any band who gets information via a Fox God gets an A in my book
My heart can't take all this cuteness
Su's English has gotten really really good since 2015, from what I've heard she can have conversations in English, and she's grown into a beautiful woman(Who's only 6 months older than me)
Get in there son haha
They are so adorable I can't even stand it xD
Ahhh they are so cuuuuuuute!!!!
They are just so fun and COOL!!! Dig them!
Listening to Su's cute Engrish can make even the crappiest day just a bit better.
great girls are great friendly fantastic music singers and the guys to
Su is clearly a very quick study and I fully expect her English to go from strength to strength. To be fair to the other two, they would have spent less time studying English as school, but I was a bit shocked that even in a global retail setting like the Sony HQ in Tokyo, the staff asked me to wait until they could find someone who spoke English fluently. You dont have to go far in Seoul to find someone who speaks English and that's evident in the interviews with many of the K-Pop bands. I periodically clash with some of the BM faithful on YT, but there's no denying that they've outlasted the predictions of many of their early critics - interesting times ahead.
+Arthur Watts Same here, I've had similar experiences in Seoul and Tokyo. I feel that the Koreans are more eager to learn English, whereas the Japanese are much more reluctant to do so.
+Grace Berlian Ponar - Main problem is the katakana. The result is that those Japanese who can speak English are often incomprehensible, But Su, Yui and Moa are amazing and in such a short time!!
+Arthur Watts Yes I agree Su's English is quite good and you can see it getting better. What I find odd is that either Moa or Yui have mentioned before that she enjoys studying english and does so regularly, so why is it both Moa and Yui seem to struggle?
+Arthur Watts I'll always love them, fuck sheep who just jump on bandwagons for the short period that something is popular.
why? Do Japanese need to use English? English is not necessary for their performance. Japanese can not speak English, but the Nobel Prize has won a lot following the US. Japan not using the alphabet is a developed country.
Man I grew up with iron maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax... all the big boys... and this is, for whatever reason, the first "metal" band that has really gained my respect in maybe the past decade or so. Ive been waiting for metal to blend with other genres for so long now and FINALLY these girls pulled it off. Their vocal skills have a LONG way to go (they are still incredibly young) and Im curious to see how they evolve over time. How insane would it be if they start introducing heavier lyrics and really master that iconic metal scream that we love from Iron Maiden. If anyone can revive the passion for metal in the US and the UK these girls just might be the ones to do it.
yui's English is just so cute😻😻😻
IT very impressive they are trying their best to translate and communicate
