I went to see my brother this weekend, and drove with a friend. We were talking for a little while when he asked, “Have you heard of bubblegum metal?” You’ll see how we reach this title.
“No.” I was laughing, the name alone was hilarious.
“It’s a bunch of little Japanese girls singing to heavy metal. You’ve never heard of it?”
There’s a reason he believed I’d understand this. I was a heavy Asian-phile. It wasn’t Japanese, Chinese, or anything specific, but all things Asian. Sure, manga and anime were the big ones, but when it came to women I find basically all Asian women gorgeous, and I love all their cultures. However, that was primarily college, and I’ve been phasing out of it, aside from the occasional anime. So I responded, “No. I haven’t been into the Asian scene really.”
“Shoot man. Hold on.” I was driving as he was looking around on his phone. We had a lengthy discussion about usage and how much a YouTube video actually ate up of data, and finally he caved and showed me.
It changed my life. I’m no longer the same person. When I found out Babymetal existed, the very physics of the world turned on its head. I love that it has the campiness of a Japanese children’s show, with the awesome of metal.
Hope you enjoy. I hope I have also altered your life through the power of Babymetal.

Holy crap, Hello Kitty meets the Misfits. I can see why this may have changed your life. Personally I think it’s as annoying as it is good. I may have nightmares.
It’s also brought in crazy traffic. It is strange, but entertaining. In its way.
The Japanese never fail to amaze me. And that from someone who listens to more Japanese music than English.
Linda…I’m on Japanese porn sites! 😀 My life goals are being stricken off by the minute!
I’ve heard about Japanese porn. I hear they have the corner on the fetish market.
Our literature is just starting to touch what they were pushing in the 1800s.
We’re so behind.
