Japanese publication Gigs (issue 469). The band on the cover is called Roselia and they have their first album and Blu-ray out now. They seem to be part of the Japanese Anime scene so they have been riding on that wave with their first singles and they are obviously doing really well.
Watch the song “Determination Symphony” live here.
Glad to see that Gaston (that has been around for 60 years) has finally made it to the UK. They changed the name from Gaston to Gomer Goof though. Two albums are out so far and a third is on the way.

Well this is interesting. A Japanese Defense publication called Mamor (or “To Protect”) started to use Idols as cover models a few years ago and sales shot through the roof.
Got to love Japan.

Nice.
Babymetal took Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio by storm a few hours ago. The concert was streamed and YouTube is full of high quality clips. Expect plenty of audience clips as well in the next few days. Next stop: Europe.
Watch “Distortion” live here.

There is no doubt that “Karate” is seen as one of the best songs in the Babymetal catalogue, and the video is pretty awesome as well. It was added to YouTube on March 17 2016, a couple of weeks ahead of the “Metal Resistance” album. It just notched up 40,000,000 views and it is still moving along nicely. Classic Babymetal.
