“The American audience has always without fail shown us very real emotions. We always try to just be ourselves and show them who Babymetal are.”
“Our aim is to bring everyone together through BABYMETAL's music.”
“We've noticed that even though we sing in Japanese, our fans study Japanese and sing along with us, and that people who like J-pop and people who like metal both enjoy our music just the same.”
“Seeing so many comments on our YouTube channel from people all over the world, even if they don't understand Japanese, made me realize that music has worldwide appeal.”
“I am sure there are some people who say that we are not metal, but we want to create a new genre that will appeal to people of all ages, both boys and girls.”
“We want to gather everyone together as one, transcending any barrier of language and culture.”
“We have never met the Fox God in person but he assigns us inconceivable challenges, so he is crucial for the progress and growth of Babymetal.”
“I think that British fans' support is making our heart stronger.”
“There's no-one in particular that we look up to, because we strive to be something that's never gone before.”
“Our fans are made up of different groups of people: people who enjoy this Japanese idol scene, versus metal fans. The crowd is disorganised because everyone is reacting to the band in a different way.”
“One thing that brings everyone together are the lyrics. Even if the people singing don't know the Japanese words, they still sing along.”
“When it comes to influences, we are influenced not just by Japanese and overseas metal acts, but J-pop acts too. One Japanese rock band we're particularly fond of is Seikima-II. We were attracted by their brand of devil imagery and of course, their high-quality musicianship.”
“Like Muse and Linkin Park, we are also striving to be the one and only to create a new genre called BABYMETAL. We hope to be as cool as them.”
“There's a shift and a change in how we've matured to becoming adults. 'Elevator Girl' represents our maturity.”
“Our sound is really hard metal but looks cute, and in some parts of the song the lyrics are really cute.”
“The Fox God created Babymetal by coming to us in a dream and telling the three of us to form the band. It is because of the Fox God that we are able to be who we are and perform all over the world.”
“In the beginning, Babymetal received critical comments since the genre was new, but now we have an impression that Babymetal's music is getting accepted and spreading as one genre of music.”
“Babymetal's music is kind of - no one else creates this kind of music. When Babymetal first started, we wanted to give the impression of like, 'What the heck?!'”
“There's so many things about Babymetal you cannot just grasp with the sound. The visual has to compliment the sound, the costumes have to compliment the sound.”
“It didn't really sink in for me when I first heard that we would be supporting RHCP. But when I heard people around us commenting on how incredible it is to be on tour with such a celebrated band, that's when it finally sunk in and realised what a remarkable honour it is to tour with RHCP.”
