Kawaii metal J-pop group BABYMETAL started their 2018 world tour in Kansas City on Tuesday night down one member. Yui Mizuno, or Yuimetal, was missing in action, resulting in only Suzuka Nakamoto, dubbed Su-metal, and Moa Kikuchi, Moametal, in attendance. Neither BABYMETAL nor the act’s management company Amuse Inc addressed the absence before or after the show. As of Wednesday, there is no update regarding the rest of the group's upcoming U.S stops, including sold-out shows on Thursday and Friday in Austin and Dallas, respectively. Su-metal and Moametal were joined by two dancers onstage along with their band as they performed a set that featured 11 songs, including their new single “Distortion.” The act performed as a duo last December in Hiroshima, reportedly due to Yuimetal being ill. No image of Yuimetal has appeared on the group’s Twitter account since November.  |

Babymetal fans are freaking out over the continued absence of Yuimetal, one the the group’s original members. On the first stop of Babymetal’s 2018 U.S. tour, the group performed with a new lineup including Su-metal, Moametal and two backup dancers. In December 2017, Yuimetal was absent from the group’s two shows at the Green Arena in Hiroshima, Japan due to illness. "As an entire team, we considered canceling this performance. However, it was Yuimetal's strong desire to not cancel this performance for the fans who were waiting and looking forward to these performances,” Babymetal management said. “After long discussions and careful consideration, both Su-Metal and Moametal, as well as the entire Babymetal staff team, came to a final conclusion to continue these performances for the dedicated fans who have been waiting for this special event as well as for team Babymetal.” Five months later, Babymetal fans in Kansas City were shocked when Yuimetal was not onstage at the May 8 gig. Her absence was never announced and still has not been addressed by Babymetal management. Instead, a new four-piece lineup of girls performed an abbreviated set of just 10 songs.  |

 Babymetal is a beloved rock band that tours internationally. The Japanese act has opened for Guns N’ Roses, and it’s been featured on late-night American TV. Thursday night at the Moody Theater, deep in the heart of Texas where PBS’ Austin City Limits tapes, a nearly sold-out crowd of about 2,500 patrons stood patiently in long lines for merch and sang to their heart’s content. But Babymetal, really, is a YouTube band—an internet-age marvel that flourished because of its virality. 2014’s “Gimme Chocolate” landed as a wildly juxtaposed presentation engineered to be shared by tagging your Facebook friend in a comment. The band fuses the world-building theatrics of J-pop, where seasoned managers churn out tightly choreographed teen idols, with accessible and loud metal. Picture three teens dressed like Mortal Kombat avatars singing lead for Mudvayne. |
