This video is a copy of http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/music/sec/artist/2013/140207.html (already deleted) with English subtitles. This interview was done just after their appearance on MUSIC STATION.
Music Station is a famous music TV program targeting mainly young people, broadcasted by TV Asahi every Friday night. Besides the idols appear also rock bands and sometimes the foreign musicians who have come to Japan. Though it is a live music program, the music part is short (except for some big artists). For BABYMETAL, "IJIME, DAME, ZETTAI" was shortened from 6:07 to 2:30, with the 1 min. introducing video and the 1 min. talk with the host. BABYMETAL seemed to be very tense during the program because they knew how big a TV programme it is while they seemed not when being with Metallica because they didn't know well how great they are.

The video which I uploaded to YouTube was deleted 7 months later, and The video on Dailymotion & the extracted audio track on YouTube were also deleted, so I uploaded this video to Google Drive on 2016 May 14th. I hope it'll survive long.
Notes
- In "IJIME, DAME, ZETTAI", the fans usually do "dame" jump with YUI&MOA (= jump with arms crossed and the fox signs). In the program, the guests were taught how to do it before the tune started.
- Miss YUIMETAL actually said as if she would perform after this. Probably she was not sure of their performance until she watched the playbacked video.
- Since BABYMETAL and T.M.Revolution (a.k.a. Takanori NISHIKAWA) were lined up together in some music festivals, they may have got acquaintance with each other.
- Miss Yui & Miss Moa will graduate from junior high school in 2015 March.
- Miss Mayu WATANABE (19 yr) is a member of AKB48 (the big power "Idols"!). She has been a big fan of Miss Moa, BABYMETAL and Sakura Gakuin since early in 2011 (confirmed by her official blog). AKB48's fans say she seemed to be very merry to be with BABYMETAL.

Unfortunately, it looks like that's been DMCA'd from Youtube, I wonder if you could upload it to Daily Motion instead. If not, thanks for your effort, and at least the subs are here for all to see.
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling that. I think about what to do with it.
