METAL GALAXY Is More Varied Than METAL RESISTANCE “Our next album has a new type of kawaii metal,” explains SU-METAL of METAL GALAXY – the successor to 2014’s self-titled full-length and 2016’s METAL RESISTANCE. “The last album had cool sounds to the songs, but this time around we’ve incorporated different types of sound into this album. Please look forward to hearing it soon!” The Theme Is That BABYMETAL Are On An Odyssey “There is a typhoon #4 approaching Japan and it is named Typhoon Moon,” says MOAMETAL. “The main theme of the Yokohama Arena shows on June 28–29 is the sun and the Nagoya shows on July 6–7 is the moon, and the fact that this typhoon is named after the moon and the timing of its approach all seems so strange but very remarkable.”  And The Idea Behind It Is Very Powerful “We are creatures of the earth and live on this planet through the powers of the sun and moon and through all facets of nature,” MOAMETAL continues, “so I want our odyssey to the METAL GALAXY to be one that we constantly appreciate how much we are able to travel the world through the power of music.” Babymetal Metal Galaxy Album Cover BABYMETAL Have Learned Many Lessons “We’ve toured many countries throughout these years,” reflects SU-METAL of the time between METAL RESISTANCE and METAL GALAXY. “In this next album, we have incorporated sounds from different countries, so I believe that this reflects the journey we’ve made over the past years.” The Album Tracklist Is Still A Secret For Now… “That is most definitely top secret!” says MOAMETAL when asked if PA PA YA!!, Elevator Girl, Starlight and Distortion will appear. “Please look forward to what kind of music will be in the album and what we would like to convey in this next album!” |

The 2019 edition of the Summer Sonic music festival, held concurrently in Tokyo and Osaka from Aug. 16 to 18, marks the 20th anniversary of the gathering. Though that’s not the only special twist gracing an event offering the experiences of a big musical outing in the comfort of a metropolis. The folks behind Summer Sonic announced their intention to take 2020 off, as one of their primary venues will be used for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. That makes this three-day blowout not only a celebration of 20 years of existence, but one final get-together before taking a break.  Summer Sonic’s lineup features a few other spots that will boggle eyes and ears. While their Saturday night set on the Mountain Stage won’t match the insanity of seeing them perform in the stadium two years ago, metal-meets-idol duo Babymetal always show up big at a festival that helped slingshot them into global stardom. On Sunday, virtual YouTuber Kizuna Ai will perform, offering a chance for everyone in attendance to worry about the singularity. |
