Well, hi, My name is SaturnFX and I'm an addict.I wanted to start out by first admitting it. I like Babymetal. No, like is something you do to some background music at a supermarket when it isn't terrible..I guess a better word is love...addicted to the sound and visual circus of babymetal.I will start from the beginning.It started long ago when I was watching some variety show. It was just a quick segment discussing strange japan (boy do they make them strange).a clip was shown of what I later can identify as Ijime,Dame,Zettai.As a older metalhead, I found the video absurd, what was this crazyness. these tiny japanese girls singing seemingly anime pop to the backing of some actual ripping metal beats...sillyness, yet the visuals were on point and by the end of the full video I found my foot tapping. Cringe came heavy at the fake guitar playing by one of the tiny ones, but it was also strangely adorable. Whatever..a one off experience, japan is weird, move on.a couple years later, I forgot about them, then on a internet surfing session I stumbled across them again, this time they weren't singing about..nothing I could identify, this time it was about wanting more chocolatehey, I can totally identify with that actually, but what I seen was..not the chocolate I was looking forThey appeared a bit older, but I recognized them immediately as those weird japanese girls from years earlier and that one song. My non-experience with japanese did identify that even in their language half the song was nonsense (atatatatatatatatata something..)..This song was initially less interesting to me until suddenly they showed the audience..and it was an actual audience..a concert..time to check out what this madness truely is.Thats where it got meFollowing this video, I remember it like yesterday, I went from curious to shocked that I was more into this band than I think I ever have been in any metal (or pop) band in the last 20+ years.The song that changed it all for me was MegitsuneI finally understood..Babymetal isn't trying to become a metal or pop band, they are trying to become global rulers through cuteness.How would I hide this..what would my friends and family think of one day they walked in and found me throwing the horns up to a babymetal song..my god, I even started calling the horns the fox sign..had I really fallen this deep over one song?I felt I needed to break away from the studio crafted videos, the special effects, photoshopped and cg tricks of fake videos and just watch them in concert. People suck in concert compared to videos and surely that would break the spell of these baby demonsso I moved to Road to Resistance - Live in Japan. perfect..I too seek resistance from this cuteness overload that has awoken the metal beast in me not seen since metallica's and justice for all days.and this is what I got...it was a trap! my god, their true power comes from stage, not video!!!It was here when I realized I was done. how can that band be soo damn good! how can these girls have such control and stage presence?!! This was a studio creation, not some formed...no, nevermind. it didn't matter..all I wanted was to be there, shouting with the crowd at this amazing performance.I was done, I knew there was no coming back. I thought it would help, but it solidified the addiction. From there, I went through a spiral of babymetal video consumptionHeadbanger? sureIine? why not!Doki Doki Morning? sure, give me a double!and on and on it went. I was out of control, a crazy person. I was learning japanese lyrics, watching interviews, checking up on the kami bands previous works, it was madness..MADNESSSo thats where I was.I tried to hide it whenever possible, but I became sloppy. I found my horns were turning into foxes, discussing japanese metal with friends, hinting..signalling.And then just as I felt maybe I could start controlling it..they put out a new video..KarateHow can one man stand against such cuteness and awesome?!!Anyhow, that is my story.I tried it initially because it was the cool kids were doing, sure. just wanted to see what it was like, then later it became I could quit anytime. Now, I lost all my oldschool elitist metal cred. If my story helps but a single person avoid babymetal introduction, then my story has done its job. Do not watch more than 1 video of babymetal ever.the alias's you can identify in case you have a friend or family member experimenting with babymetal. keep an ear out for this:Su-Metal: Vocals and danceMoa-Metal: Scream and danceYui-Metal: Scream and danceKoba-Metal: Fox God messenger (aka, the producer)Kami-Band: Immortals with instruments
