BABYMETAL.
Actually I am surprised to know that there was an idol group using Rock Metal song for the group. When I listened to Doki Doki Morning★, the song actually cute but have the Rock Metal rhythm insert to it. After listened to all of their singles from their debut on 2011 until now and I become a fan to them or you can called it METAL RESISTANCE as their fan name. For that, I wish I could go to their live performance or concert someday. I grit my teeth because I missed 2 times (AFASG 2012, AFAID 2013) to meet BABYMETAL due to work related issues.
After AFAID 2013, I heard BABYMETAL will attend AFASG 2013 and they will have one man show in Singapore on 28th December 2013. I have managed my leaves quickly so that I will not miss this chance to meet BABYMETAL for the first time.
At AFASG 2013, my friend and I bought the VIP ticket early birds so that we can have a short meet & greet with BABYMETAL. 100 early birds VIP tickets will get an autographed photo card from BABYMETAL. They performed Megitsune and Ijime,Dame,Zettai (I.D.Z). Even with 2 songs, I can feel the warm up before the concert day.
D-Day: BABYMETAL Live in Singapore 2013
Before the concert day, actually my friend and 1 already made a fan made t-shirt to show that BABYMETAL have fans in Malaysia. We decided to use white colour so that they can detect us easily.
The setlist:
1. BABYMETAL DEATH！
2. Kimi ga Anime ga mitai (Answer for Animation With You)
3. Ii ne!
4. Onedari Daisakusen
5. Gimme Chocolate (New Song)
6. Uki Uki Midnight
7. Akatsuki
8. Catch me if you can
9. Headbangerrr!
10. Doki Doki Morning★
11. Encore01 Megitsune
12. Encore02 Ijime,Dame,Zettai (I.D.Z )
I am satisfied with the setlist because BABYMETAL performed live all the songs they have so far. The new song, Gimme Chocolate is a cute metal song. At I.D.Z, all the METAL RESISTANCE gathered around to do the moshing. I joined them and it was so much fun despite the “pain” pushing each other. After the live each of the VIP tickets holder got a signed poster by BABYMETAL. I managed to pass a gift to YUI-METAL which is a custom made Hello Kitty Singing Bones. YUI-METAL looks so happy to receive my gift and thanked me while holding the doll and doing the Kitsune hand pose. We have met many awesome fans from Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. The Kitsune hand pose is an official greeting when we bump to each other.
BABYMETAL have become more popular and well known now. On March 2014, they have become the youngest group to perform one man show live at Nippon Budokan. Now, they will evade the Europe market. I will keep on cheering for them and may Kitsune Kami will lead them to the path of success.
PUT YOUR KITSUNE UP !
