Japan has just invented the greatest type of music ever!
For those of you who've seen Global Metal, Marty Friedman of Megadeth gives a sneak peek into the Japanese metal domain, which apparently has no restrictions, no inhibitions, and can combine any riff any tune any video and come up with something that is really cool by Japanese standards.
Now I don't know what Marty Friedman smoked to create something like this, but this is a long flight of atleast a 1000 steps below what he made earlier in Megadeth.
Babymetal is a new Japanese metal vocal and dance group, consisting of 3 girls, initially formed as a subunit of the female idol group Sakura Gakuin under the concept of a "fusion of metal and idol [music]". They've already become quite a sensation in Japan, and their new release isn't going to slow them anytime soon!
Think Melodic Metal-meets-cute japanese schoolgirls-meets-Gorgoroth/Slipknot styled dressing-meets-Bollywood dance numbers-meets-scenes from The Grudge.
That wouldn't come to my mind even if I wanted it to.
Well, worry not, since it's very much real right now.
I honestly can't tell if I'm shaking from the little headbanging I did, or from getting so fucked-in-the-head after watching this video. But one thing I can tell you is - That is one catchy tune. Open up a bit, listen to it, and then you'll see. Kudos, Japan!
