BABYMETAL are set to unveil a series of 10-year anniversary projects, with the final occasion/release on October 10 seemingly marking the end of this chapter of the band.
In a cryptic statement along with the release of a ‘legend map’ plotting out their 10th anniversary celebrations (which began on October 10 last year, and will finish on the same date in 2021), they share:
“Sunday, October 10, 2021… Together with all 10 episodes of METAL RESISTANCE coming to a close, the 10-year legend will be sealed from the world.
“Until that seal is broken, BABYMETAL will disappear from our sight. Time is running out. There is no eternity in God’s descent.”
Part of the band’s 10-year anniversary celebrations have included their 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN shows that happened between January and April at the Nippon Budokan. They’ve also announced 10 BABYMETAL LEGENDS, which is a “series of projects looking back at BABYMETAL’s 10-year accomplishments”. This legend map will conclude with a step that reads, ‘Stairway to living legend.’
See the announcement below:

Thank You Babymetal! A global fan response.
Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to this. I know that speaking on camera can be stressful and embarrassing, but you all did a fantastic job of communicating your interest in, support of, and enthusiasm for BABYMETAL. I tried to honor the spirit of your original recordings while weaving them together to create a unified narrative as much as was possible. Please forgive the clunky editing.
I hope that other fans enjoy hearing some of their own feelings voiced here, and that the band themselves will see it and feel our gratitude!

Strange to think it now, but when BABYMETAL first came up with the genius idea of fusing perkily bright J‑Pop melodies with crushingly heavy metal riffs back in 2010, not everyone thought they’d be in it for the long haul. Even when they went viral around the world with Gimme Chocolate!!, some believed they were destined to be a short-lived, manufactured novelty. Some even thought BABYMETAL were an elaborate joke.
But here we are in 2021, the laughter faded years ago and SU-METAL and MOAMETAL find themselves still heading one way only: up. Here, we find them reaching the sort of zenith usually only accessible to bona fide rock legends: a 10-night stand at Tokyo’s storied Budokan venue to celebrate their first decade together, documented by a Deep Purple-style double live album.
SU-METALand MOAMETAL have become actual grown-ups along the way, but 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN does not mess with the deceptively simple formula that got them here. So, from the atmospheric intro of BABYMETAL DEATH (Shin Ver.) to the 15-minute closing epic that is Road Of Resistance, via viral hits such as KARATE and Doki Doki * Morning and guest appearances from Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz (Distortion) and rapper F.Hero (PA PA YA!), they combine irresistible catchiness with pounding heaviness to successfully ram the ABBA into Black Sabbath.
No wonder the crowd sound proper-metal-live-album feral throughout, despite being compulsorily double-masked due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Not even a pandemic could stop BABYMETAL, however. Their recent pledge to “disappear from our sight” on October 10 suggests big changes are on the way. But whatever happens next, 10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN stands as testament to the fact that they who laugh last, last longest and rock loudest.
