Time for another adventure in BABYMETAL music. This time, I’m going off the beaten path by sharing one of the limited edition songs from BABYMETAL called Death. This one is pure death metal, or as pure as an idol-metal group can get. First up, here’s the song from the LE single. Up until

BABYMETAL – いいね！(Iine!) – Idol Pop +Death Metal + Hip-hop + Happy Trance/Hardcore
November 5th, 2013 
AstroNerdBoy My latest share from the heavy metal/idol Japanese group BABYMETAL is a song called Iine!, which is a rather interesting number. This one has more pop elements in it, though that death metal element is there too. *lol* Take a listen. Oddly enough, around the 1:32 minute mark, BABYMETAL suddenly goes pure hip-hop on
BABYMETAL – Megitsune (Merging heavy metal, idol, and traditional Japanese music in a single song.)
October 22nd, 2013 AstroNerdBoy I recently mentioned BABYMETAL, an idol group that blends heavy metal with expected pop idol elements. The result is actually quite good, so much so that yours truly actually got an iTunes account just to score their music. ^_^ For this post, I wanted to talk about the song Megitsune, which means “female fox”. When
What Happens When Heavy Metal Meets "Kawai" Idols? BABYMETAL!
October 14th, 2013 AstroNerdBoy BABYMETAL! One of the the cool things about Japan is their willingness to experiment with new things and the spirit of innovation found there. That’s what happened when a producer at Amuse, Inc. when he decided to combine idol music with heavy metal music. That innovative idea gave birth to the metal-idol trio known as
Japanese Music: SDP – Get Up and Dance
July 31st, 2011 AstroNerdBoy Much like American rap groups, Japanese rap groups also sample. So for this post, I decided to revisit the Japanese rap group Scha Dara Parr (スチャダラパー), better known as “SDP,” as they kick it old school. They take Freedom’s 1979 disco funk song “Get Up and Dance” and basically do their own version of it.
Japanese Music: SDP – Disco System
July 25th, 2011 AstroNerdBoy Scha Dara Parr (スチャダラパー), better known as “SDP,” is a Japanaese rap group that I stumbled into a few years ago while doing some research on what happened to electro-funk music in the U.S. (something I was very big into back in the early to mid-80’s). Unlike some of my recent Japanese rap music shares,
Japanese Music: Nitro Microphone Underground – NIGHT RAID-Tokyo State of Mind
July 11th, 2011 AstroNerdBoy OK, I know I shouldn’t, but I’m going back to the Japanese gansta rap group Nitro Microphone Underground well again. ^_^; This is another song that I really like from NMU and when finances allow, I’ll be officially adding it to my collection. In the meantime, I have to settle for YouTube, but I’m blasting
Japanese Music: Nitro Microphone Underground – Still Shinin’ (ALL DAY version)
July 2nd, 2011 AstroNerdBoy Japanese Music: Nitro Microphone Underground – Still Shinin’ (ALL DAY version) About a week ago, I shared a song from the Japanese gansta rap group called Nitro Microphone Underground. Since I’m sore pressed for time this month, I thought I’d share a second song from them called “Still Shinin’.” This was the first song from
