BABYMETAL PROFILE
Their music video, released on YouTube, received a flood of hits from overseas, spreading their presence not only in Japan but also to North and South America, Europe, and Asia. In August 2012, they performed as the youngest artists at "SUMMER SONIC 2012."
Their major debut single, "Ijime, Dame, Zettai," released in January 2013, and their second single, "Megitsune," released in June, both reached the top 10 of the Oricon charts. From summer to fall 2013, they performed at numerous major festivals, including "SUMMER SONIC 2013," "ROCK IN JAPAN FES. 2013," and "LOUD PARK 13," delivering stunning performances. At "SUMMER SONIC 2013," headliner Metallica even attended their performance, further increasing their popularity among artists and rock fans alike. In March 2014, they held a sold-out two-day solo concert at the Nippon Budokan, breaking the record for the youngest female artist to perform a solo concert at the Budokan. Furthermore, their first album, "BABYMETAL," released in February, reached the US Billboard charts, making them the youngest Japanese artists to do so, including Kyu Sakamoto. In July and August 2014, they embarked on their first European and American tour,
performing on the main stage at the massive UK festival "Sonisphere" and drawing an audience of 65,000. In the US, they were also selected as the support act for Lady Gaga's US tour, performing five shows.
BABYMETAL's "metal resistance" is rapidly expanding, gaining attention both in name and in reality overseas, beyond Japan.
