They toured in the U.S. They're the only Japanese band to reach the top 40 in like 50 years. They were on Colbert. If there were a j-pop band you would know it would be that one.

Babymetal was featured in teens, the elderly, whatever Reacts, they got meme'd into mainstream internet popularity.

>>94058050
Babymetal are popular enough to have had concerts in America. That's a pretty big deal.

Their music is also pretty good if you like metal and jpop cause it's literally both together.

How about you wait and give it a shot before you write it off as garbage? Like yknow, look them up and listen to their singles and decide for yourself?

Gimme Chocolate is usually the first look into them for most people, Megitsune is my favourite song personally.

Doki Doki Morning is more learning to pop than it is the metal but still a good blend of the two.

If you like cute jpop girls or have at any point you'll probably like them.

>>94058050
They are actually OK in my book, it is quite a big deal to get them to play so I guess the Twitter wankery is actually justified this time.

>Babymetal was featured in teens, the elderly, whatever Reacts, they got meme'd into mainstream internet popularity.

I never watch that channel nor know anyone who does, nor do I care about normie memes.

Jpop isn't as popular outside Youtube culture as you think.

Babymetal is a meme, they're "big" but they're not good

They are girl band some Japanese metalhead put together but metal fans who also happen to be pedophiles and weebs support in droves as maniacal sycophants who will attack if you if you don't like Babymetal even though it's garbage

By combining j pop with the "metal" facade, they were able to capitalize on the most aggressive and most lonely bald overweight white male creepers in the USA as their prime demo

Babymetal isn't the "modern version of metal, you old guys need to get over it".

The last six months veered dramatically towards me listening to Judas Priest constantly, and now I'm back trying to discover new metal again. I liked Portal last time I listened to them. Boris is really good if you consider them metal. I'm a bit out of the loop right now though.

Where I live now has a lot of this modern Black Metal that is very atmosphere focused, and a lot less harsh than I'm used to. I like it enough, but I'd prefer more shitty sounding BM.

Puffy was a Pokemon-level phenomenon in the mid '90s, they sold millions of CDs and even had their own TV show, while Babymetal can barely sell 0.1M or so at best.

It might be unfair to compare BSB/NSYNC to some current boyband, but in the '90s, music was more relevant to the masses than now, even in outside of the US.

Japanese downplay Babymetal too much though. And it's only because they don't want to be on tv and do ads and variety shows like everyone else, they even turned down Kohaku uta Gassen last year.

>>94061730
Why they split up?

>>94062794
It's like you completely ignored my post, it wasn't meant to prove that assertion wrong but to act like their not popular is extremely false. They outsell some of the biggest groups in Japan and they don't even do any promo or advertising because their metalfag producer thinks it's a bad look(he never allowed them to do an anime expo and won't allow their music to be used for anime). They've been focused on the international market for the past three years and even then they move very slowly. They also always get #1 on Oricon with their Bluray releases and on the DVD charts.

>>94062601
>Puffy was a Pokemon-level phenomenon in the mid '90s, they sold millions of CDs and even had their own TV show

>>94064684
Judas priest isn't power metal.

>>94064684
Calling Judas priest power metal is retarded, outside ram it down there's no album that can be called power metal, and when talking about judas you can say they are glam, hard rock or speed metal too depending of the album.

>>94064684
Honestly man, Judas Priest and other bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden just don't do it anymore. If I'm going to listen to something close to power metal I'll go with Brocas Helm or Battleroar. Brocas Helm especially is what I wanted Iron Maiden to be, but never was. Just ain't no going back now, can only go forward.

>>94061475
are any of these real bands or just words thrown togather to be ironic?

>>94064640
One of the reasons power metal is mocked is that us usually called happy metal too. And happy=gay.

Iced earth fans can, but they are protected by autism.

Why are we burying the lead here?
I'm all too familiar with Babymetal, but this is the first i'm hearing about a Unikitty cartoon
Whats the deal?

Back in the day we called it flower metal.

Whatever happened to the days of good Japanese music, like Kyu Sakamoto?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35DrtPlUbc

>>94063950
He did. I'm pretty damn sure on this.
The only thing I clearly remember is, he said "pedophile" and "Hello Kitty" when asked about Japan.
IIRC, it was an interview article that features the Nirvana/Shonen Knife tour.

>>94064826
I always saw Brocas closer to fantasy metal, though I hear the power influences in many of their songs. Judas and friends was always more generic 80s metal that acts as sort of a gateway to metal for me: people listen to them and move on to other bands and offshoots of metal from there. They weren't entirely the best, but they at least get people interested in the genre.

>>94064777
are you guys retarded. Judas Priest is THE FIRST power metal band. Electric Eye may be the first power metal song

>>94064808
what about Blind Guardian fans? They know it's super cheesy 'gay' music and embrace it

Helloween and Rage are the best "cheesy gay" music.

>>94064964
Kek no, and the first power metal song priest had was fucking tyrant. Judas isn't power metal.

>>94065030
Gammaray is gayer, cheesier and better.

Power plant is so gay that turns vodka into Appletinis, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Malcolm in the Middle used this song well in an early episode.
They have patrician taste in music.

>>94064786
you want a band that sounds made up with words taken out of a hate
Deathspell Omega

>>94064964
Priest is heavy metal, simply put. They are part of the generation that can be called pure heavy metal and just that

Power metal takes what they did and changes it around some, so does speed metal, though neither genre is defined as well as say thrash

Polkadot Cadaver/Dog Fashion Disco shut the fuck up Mr. Bungle-fags. I love Patton's music but you cunts are some of the most insufferable fans I have ever seen. No, not everything that resembles Mr. Bungle is a rip-off.

not metal, but a damned good band

>>94060700
There are ten bands playing tonight wherever you live that are actually good. You just only pretend to care about music when it's an excuse to shit on someone over the internet so you don't and won't ever know.

To put things into perspective, this is the Yumi hairstyle. It was so popular in the late 90s that girls are still wearing variations of it.

Wrong, it's Sotaisei Riron. Etsuko Yakushimaru is great in general and has probably the most hypnotic voice I've ever heard.

They're good when they work with Scott Walker.

>>94065519
no, you are right, I missread. and in that case >>94065485 is correct, there are a ton of local acts that are great, most better than the shit you hear on the radio. And live jazz is almost always amazing.

top 10 current for me

Shining
Sarah Slean
Shpongle
Deathspell Omega
Ihsahn
Acturus
Anything by Devin Townsend
Ne Obliviscaris
Vintersorg
Don Ross

Still really depressed I can't put Leonard Cohen on this list...And Woods of Ypres is one of my top 5 bands of all time but the band lays with David Gold RIP

Fuck, man. That still hurts. At least we still have Nick Cave and Tom Waits.

>>94065872
my fav Japanese band besides Nobue Umatsu is Sigh. I am in love with Dr Mikannibal. She's got a PhD in physics speciallizing in superconductivity, has a research job. But joined a metal band to get up on stage in nearly nothing, bathe herself in blood and scream. Also, records completely naked (there are photos)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpOUcbjVJzw

>>94065982
yes, but they will never come to my town and play a show....and I'm really kicking myself for not seeing Cohen when he came here, I couldn't afford the 120 bucks at that time..

>>94062731
>ZARD still on there
Kind of surprising considering how long Sakai's been dead for. I guess Makenaide is enough to keep them a perpetual seller though (also it's a really good song).

>>94060099
If I listen to music, 9 times out of 10 it's gonna be Sabbath, Van Halen, Priest, Maiden, or Metallica....what're you gonna do, sue me?

>>94066068
ZARD was a band for its first few years.

>>94065834
Well excuse me, I'd add Coil or Throbbing Gristle instead but you can't call them active anymore
Fuck, this is not fair. ;_;

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum hasn't been active for the long time too, so I didn't add it either.

>>94064913
70s-90s Jpop Stream, nigger. TuneIn or just google or whatever. It's literally a stream that just plays nothing but Jpop from the 1970s through the 1990s nonstop. It's pretty great.

>>94058320
Remember when Miku performed on Letterman?

Wait, are The Residents still active? I haven't been keeping track?

>>94066170
Only technically.

>>94063611
By sheer numbers maybe (sometimes we forget how fuckhuge the United stages is compared to most countries, since we are basically 50 countries who throw in together) . By percentage? No way. How many comics about fucking/raping/getting seduced by little girls do you see made in america? That are actually sold?

>>94064502
Why are Pandaman and Zorro on a metal cover?

>>94061572
To be fair, Weighing Souls With Sand is a really beautiful album.

The moment anyone here mentions Fishmans though is when I'm pretty sure /mu/ is invading us and judging by some of the bands listed here I'm pretty sure we're not too far off.

>>94062021

/pol/ go home your drunk off your ass and overreacting to the late night "funny man" again.

>>94066296
Also I firmly believe that Sakai committed suicide and the "she slipped" story was a cover up because they couldn't have someone whose songs were all about encouraging others take her own life.

>>94058050
I feel the opposite way, am I supposed to know what Unikitty is?

Puffy was hardly a big deal even 10 years ago. The album sales prove that.

A friend of mine is into metal and jpop, so he found them pretty early on. One time my local comic hsop kept playing their videos and the music over the speakers.

Album sales alone can't be an accurate measure for popularity.
I mean, there's a random TV program yearly aired, such as "Back in the 70/80/90s!" or "Celebs sing songs in the 70/80/90's!",
major bands like PUFFY and ZARD always get involved in it, and almost every kid grows up watching those TV shows,
so, even if PUFFY was utterly irrevant in the last 10 years, they're still highly acknowledged.

Huh, didn't realize Diablo Swing Orchestra was still around.

You can barely hear it in the background of this video somebody tweeted. The show looks like it will be Teen Titans Go tier.

no one is asking you to like them, but do you live under a rock? They've been a meme, a touring band, and a debacle in the metal fan scene for years now

>>94068773
ZARD died like almost 10 years ago, man...

>>94071386
actually if you knew anything about music in general or metal specifically you'd know they've actually got a really talented band behind them, they just don't get as much obvious attention over the front girls.

>>94070905
yeah, that was the whole point of babymetal. they're too old

>>94071469
Watch ya mouth kiddo, I even bought the single "Natsu wo Matsu Sail..." after going to see a Detective Conan movie back then, a really underrated song.

Babymetal's pretty well known all things considered. Not my cup of tea but some of their stuff's alright

>>94064913
