Down in Austin at the Moody, making one of only five U.S. appearances before landing in Europe and Japan this year, Babymetal inspired wide-eyed, young fans on the floor to blow bubbles while a dad shielded his apparent young daughter from a circle pit.

The Japanese heavy metal outfit confirmed the news on Twitter , writing that Fujioka “has passed away in the METAL GALAXIES” and adding: “We hope that he is now with his GUITAR MASTER A. Holdsworth [Allan Holdsworth] and enjoying an epic guitar session with him.” The group then quoted the lyrics to their song ‘The One’: “We are the one. Together. We’re the only one. You are the one. Forever”. Fujioka was known to fans by his nicknames ‘Ko-Gami’ and ‘The Little God’. According to Fujioka’s wife, the musician fell from an observation deck on December 30 and later passed away on January 5.
