What’s a good career move if you’re a bearded, cross-dressing, Australian pro wrestler living in Japan? You start up a J-pop band of course.

At least this is what Ladybeard aka Richard Magarey has done and his new music video with his band Ladybaby has become a viral sensation that has gained three million views on YouTube.

Formerly from Adelaide, Ladybeard moved to China in 2006 to kick-start his martial arts stunt career in films. He became a big hit in Hong Kong as a cross-dressing pro wrestler and in October 2013 he decided to try his luck in Tokyo, Japan.

In October 2013 the 32-year moved to Japan to where he got his alternative J-pop career started

It was here the 32-year-old developed a style of music he’s dubbed ‘Kawaiicore’ – death metal covers of J-pop songs and soon, Ladybaby, his new supergroup was born.

The unlikely pop group now has him and singers Rie Kaneko and Rei Kuromiya appearing in their first music video featuring a track called ‘Nippon Manju’ (Japanese Bun), a song covering all the things they love about Japan.

Despite the fact that a typical J-pop group has cutesy costumed teenage girls singing twee songs and Ladybeard is a bearded, Australian, cross-dressing, pro wrestler; the video has proved wildly popular.

The video shows Ladybeard singing with his band while dressed in a French Maid's outfit or Little Bo Peep, while his two little scantily clad co-singers dance alongside him through the streets of Tokyo.

Ladybeard has been making a name for himself in Japan like when he appeared here at the 11th China International Cartoon & Games Expo in Shanghai in July

However, it's a stretch to say that Ladybeard sings as he generally leaves that to the two ladies while he screams and shouts in the background - death metal style. But he does bellow out some of Japan's most well known places and icons during the chorus.

This also gives Ladybeard a good chance to practice his Japanese, although even after being translated into English the verses don’t make that much sense anyway.

‘Ice cream scream. New products already sold out. If I can’t buy bread give me cake. If there are no buns let’s go with manju,’ one verse says.

Throw in some choreographed dance moves with his band members and a bit of death metal guitar solos and you've got a massive viral hit on your hands.

Ladybeard maybe hungry for success but he's not that keen on snacks

In an interview with Tokyo Desu, Ladybeard admitted it’s often hard finding male clothes to fit a heavyweight wrestler, let alone one who regularly wears a dress.

'Yes, this certainly is a problem. When I was smaller I could occasionally find something on the rack. But now, tailor made all the way! I don’t want to risk stepping into the ring to be wearing the same thing as my opponent!' Ladybeard said.

Not that is fame and notoriety has always had positive results.

'I’ve been attacked several times, but I don’t think that reaction could be called strange, at least not in Australia. Pretty much what one might expect!' he said.
