[REDNIQS '15 Sep. 21]

This is a part of a radio program "REDNIQS" broadcast by FM802 on 2015 Sep. 21st. The interview was recorded on 2015 Sep. 17th. The audio source is what a BABYMETAL fan in Osaka airchecked and kindly uploaded on the internet.

I am sorry if I've mistaken the voices of SU-METAL, YUIMETAL & MOAMETAL. The words enclosed with parentheses "(***)" are what I've inserted as supplement. I'm not sure whether the words with parentheses & a question mark "(***?)" should be inserted or not.

Notes

  1. This Japan tour includes 8+2 concerts: on Sep. 16th & 17th at Zepp Namba (Osaka), on Sep. 21st at Zepp Sapporo, on Oct. 2nd at Zepp Fukuoka, on Oct. 7th & 8th at Zepp Nagoya, on Oct. 15th & 16th at Zepp DiverCity (Tokyo), plus on Dec. 12th & 13th at Yokohama Arena. The interview was recorded before 17th's concert and broadcast after 21st's concert.
        Zepp *** are a group of music halls in Japan (capacity: 2000-2500). These halls have the same stage equipment, etc., and it's convenient for musicians to hold their "Zepp tour".
  2. Actually, BABYMETAL have performed in Osaka more than twice before: in 2012 Jul. & in 2013 Jan. (the release events of CD singles), in 2013 May (May Revolution Tour), and in 2013, 2014 & 2015 Aug (SummerSonic Festival).
  3. In the middle of "Megitsune", SU-METAL holds a fox mask and then throw it away. If they perform on an open-air stage, the wind sometimes blows the mask back, and unfortunately it hits MOAMETAL.
  4. MOAMETAL's expressions are ambiguous. As she said before, shoe trouble often happened in the past, but it is unclear whether it often happens even now or not.
  5. Actually, there are many famous Metal musicians whom BABYMETAL haven't met yet. Probably that slim man has repeatedly said "I want a photo of Iron Maiden", so they remember that name.
  6. Fukuoka is the largest city in Kyushu Island.
  7. Hakata is the old town area of Fukuoka City.
        Ramen is a noodle dish (of Chinese origin) popular in Japan. Many regions have their own ramen, and Hakata ramen is characterized by pork-born broth, etc.

Summons Ceremony

Included in "LIVE AT BUDOKAN" (released on 2015 Jan. 7th).
played in "Black Night" concert on 2014 Mar. 2nd.

Summons Ceremony   in "Black Night"

Now... I will tell you all about the Metal Resistance...

This was the world where the overwhelming magic of the big power "Idols"
controlled everything such as mass media, politics, economy.
All music other than idol songs were seen as harmful,
and the Metal was no exception.

The prayer of the apostles who wished the restoration of the Metal
reached the Fox God who is in charge of the Metal,
and the Fox God named the three girls:
SU-METAL, YUIMETAL & MOAMETAL
as "BABYMETAL" which means the birth of a new metal
whose theme is "the fusion of the idols and the Metal"
and sent them down to this world.

In order to get the true Metal,
the Fox God gave BABYMETAL many trials.

All were unknown worlds to them.
The girls who didn't know the true Metal had no way
but to stand up to the trials, believing their own power.
Though they were young, they pushed forward on the way without a path
and changed many given trials into legends one after another,
and people were touched to see that.

The clock hands have begun to move.
The Metal spirit has brought new breath to this land.
The national maestro who is powerful in the mass media
and, at last, the members of the big power Idols
have raised the fox signs which are the symbols of the Metal Resistance.

The Metal spirit has turned into the crimson flame,
has changed the jet-black darkness into a white night,
and, like the sun that doesn't set,
keeps on radiating the vivid crimson light.

The Fox God tells BABYMETAL:
"The first chapter of the Metal Resistance has been completed in this land.
Then, to send up a new signal fire, leaving this land, I summon you to a new world.
The time has come. Now we will advance to foreign lands."

[Summons]
Doomsday time has come.
It is time to depart.

Scream and dance, MOAMETAL,
scream and dance, YUIMETAL,
and, vocal and dance, SU-METAL.
You must leave now.
It is time to depart.

In two-thousand and ten, BABYMETAL was formed
at the root of the theme: Kawaii Metal.
The meaning is the mixture of J-pop idols and Heavy Metal.
BABYMETAL is receiving attention of all over the world.
They are on the road of the one and only.
BABYMETAL say good-bye to Japan...
