[BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE]

This is an unofficial translation of [ https://baw.babymetal.jp/info/about.php ]. Please do not ask the official site or the online shop about this page. Do everything about "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE" at your own risk.

Note that "LIVE - LEGEND I, D, Z, APOCALYPSE -" is the Blu-ray disc, "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE" is the package of the binder and the booklet, and these are two separate items.

"BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE WEB" is the members' site for those who have purchased the package "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE", and the membership for the site provides some benefits (it can be said that it is virtually the membership for the official fan club which many Japanese idols and musicians have).

Note that though there are the words "baptize", etc. on the page, BABYMETAL has no relation with Christianity and many "DEATH" you see mean only "be" (it's just a joking variation of "desu" (= be) of Japanese).

BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE is "the apocalypse in the form of binder" to bind the booklets that cover all about BABYMETAL and "the Book of the Contract". The booklets contain the original contents of BABYMETAL and the apocalypse will be completed by collecting all the booklets. "The book of the Contract" is attached to the binder.

"The book of the Contract" contains the signature space for you "and BABYMETAL" to make the contract with the Fox God and "the access code" to log in for the members' site "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE WEB", where you can find a lot of members' benefits and the contents that you can't find anywhere else.

The Ten Commandments of the Fox God

The ten benefits of "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE"

Commandment I. Believe in the Fox God!

Those who believe in Fox God are baptized the official metal name.

If you register for "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE WEB", you are given as a proof of baptism "the metal name" only one in the world. "The metal name" consists of the sequence of 2 to 15 letters of alphabets and/or numbers that you like with hyphen and "METAL" (**-METAL to ***************-METAL). "-METAL" can't be changed.

Since "the metal name" can never be changed as long as the site exists, please decide it carefully. Since "the metal names" are given in the order of the registration, register earlier if you want to get the name that you like.

Commandment II. Complete the apocalypse!

All about BABYMETAL are written in the apocalypse.

Complete the apocalypse by collecting all the non-periodically published booklets and binding them in the binder. "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE" includes the booklet vol.1 "Genesis".

You can purchase "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE" at the concert venues or Asmart. But only those who have registered for "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE WEB" can purchase the booklets other than vol.1 at Asmart. "How to Purchase" is described below.

Commandment III. Read the apocalypse thoroughly!

The apocalypse contains plenty of the original contents of BABYMETAL.

Each booklet contains the different contents of BABYMETAL. For example: the original photos, the concert reports, the contents that BABYMETAL plan by themselves, the unreleased photos, etc.

And we will present the special project that you can't find anywhere else.

Commandment IV. Long for your birthday!

You will receive the blessing message from BABYMETAL on your birthday.

BABYMETAL will bless your birthday. You will receive the blessing message on the day that you register as your birthday. Since the date of birth can't be changed after the registration, be careful not to register a wrong date.

If you register after your birthday, you can't receive the blessing message, so we recommend you to register before your birthday. Since the blessing message will be sendable on the day after the registration day, finish the registration until the day before your birthday.

The delivery of the birthday messages will start on 2014 January 1st (tr.note: "when this site opens" attached).

Commandment V. Witness the other side of the Metal Resistance!

The apocalypse records the backstage of BABYMETAL's activities and their undercover propagation in the disguises.

On "BABYMETAL APOCALYPSE WEB", we are planning to upload non periodically such special contents as the video of BABYMETAL's comments, the shots behind the scene, etc. which are found only in this site.

Maybe? possibly? you can witness the backstage of BABYMETAL's Metal Resistance and their undercover propagation in the disguises of ordinary girls to avoid public notice.

Commandment VI. Enter the holy meeting prior to others!

Outline of International Forwarding (translator's comment)

First of all you have to register for the forwarding service. Then the forwarding agents will provide you something like a "private" post-office box and tell you its address. Note that the agent may not offer you the service because of your real address.

Next you enter the given address as your address at the online shop.

The online shopper will send the item to the registered address, and the forwarding agent will receive and forward the item to you.

Basically the online shoppers and the forwarding agents are independent of each other, and there are many other forwarding sevices than tenso.com. I am not sure whether you can use them for shopping at Asmart or not.
