"I will be putting my everything into the production of our upcoming album because I believe that many of you are waiting for it," vocalist Su-metal says.

"We are looking forward to meeting our fans abroad again next year at Wembley Arena right after the release of our second album, so you can expect to hear our new songs for the very first time live there."

Babymetal's form of "cute metal" has been causing a stir in the world of heavy metal for the past two years.
