BABYMETAL is a sub unit of the idol group Sakura Gakuin . They are the second sub unit to debut from the group, following Twinklestars. Their concept is a fusion of idol pop and metal.The group first appeared on Sakura Gakuin's debut album Sakura Gakuin 2010 Nendo ~message~ in April 2011, performing the track "Do?Ki?Do?Ki?MORNING". In October 2011 they released a DVD containing the music video for the song.Their new song Ijime, Dame, Zettaishowed off at the event of Sakura Gakuin in July, and TOKYO IDOL FESTIVAL in August. It became a buzz because of the sound of melodic speed metal, its sensational lyric of theme about Ijime and their performance incorporating the Wall of Death. BABYMETALs heavy sound and performance drove a lot of audience to make mosh at the floor of live house, and get mad. The floor became chaos finally in spite of the show was an IDOL EVENT (Tower Records Shinjuku 13th Birthday Event ~NO MUSIC,NO IDOL?~ at Shinjuku LOFT in October 2011). BABYMETAL pursues the only one unit in the world under the flag of the mix of Idol and Heavy Metal.
