That isn't metal. That's cosplay.

That is closer to electronics than metal. If you like that, great; but I couldn't make it through that video.

Too catchy not to enjoy.

Should I listen to this? I'm a little hesitant and kinda scared (on the basis of a couple of listens to previews) with the premise that it is JPop combined with metal elements.

I heard this a few days ago. Fucking awesome.

Interesting. Nice blend of Electronic with metal.

All right, guys. You have convinced me to give this a listen. This means I hold you guys liable if I go into seizures and pass out while listening to the music.

Haha the 2nd links video is really funny.

holy young. says on wiki they didn't even know what metal was when the group was formed. the girls sure shred in that second vid for youngsters previously unfamiliar with anything so ripping.

im thinking the forum could get far more into Maximum The Hormone if anyone is looking for some 'j pop' infused rock slash punk slash metal.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #10 on:** March 04, 2014, 10:08:25 AM »

Maximum The Hormone are such a rad group, their newest album was fantastic

I'd say it's the opposite - metal "infused" j pop.

Honestly, I'm not seeing what's so special about this. It's obviously just a pop song, with a metal look and metal arrangement layered on top. I have no problem with pop music, but I don't need it to be cloacked in some phoney metal skin to be able to appreciate it. I'm not that narrow in my musical tastes

In this case, it's not that the song is bad, it's just that the metal instrumentation seems to be gimmicky, and adds no value to making the song better.

gazinwales · « **Reply #12 on:** March 04, 2014, 12:00:01 PM »

'Pop' "metal" for 6-10 year old's.
Absolute rubbish

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #13 on:** March 04, 2014, 12:44:48 PM »

I actually liked the blend of the vocals with the metal sound. The backing vocals the two others sing not so much.

Now if a band did this seriously, with live vocals, I'd buy it.

Okay, I looked up Gimme Chocolate, and watching it, I can't not think of those videos where the guy takes a song, and keeps the vocals, but swaps out the rest to make it a completely different genre (for example, he made that Enter Sandman Smooth Jazz video). It really feels like one of those, except it's what the song actually sounds like.

My favorite quote from an article about them: "Somewhere in Norway there is a metalhead in corpse paint standing in a forest crying tears of blood.”

I heard Eat Chocolate, and I liked it. It's really "kitchy"...but I liked it.

It's more of a novelty song at this point. I doubt it would ever be something I would own, but it's certainly something I would show to friends for a laugh.

ThatOneGuy2112 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 06, 2014, 07:58:06 PM »

There are certainly moments far too juxtaposed and jarring even for my tastes, but as I listen to it...

Not bad stuff at all. I like it. A pretty interesting and unexpected blend of styles in my eyes that sounds awful on paper but turned out pretty great in practice. My only concern was that this style would certainly alienate a fair number of fans from either side, but seeing their live performances reassures me; they really have the energy to back it all up.

Super Dude · « **Reply #20 on:** March 07, 2014, 06:19:42 AM »

Yeah to be quite honest, I would rather just have the pop. It doesn't need all this metal dressing.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #21 on:** March 07, 2014, 08:25:11 AM »

Are their any Japanese Metal bands with a Female vocalist, that also incorporate Electronic Elements.

I'm asking because the blend of that voice and the metal matches really well.

Dark Castle · « **Reply #22 on:** March 07, 2014, 10:48:12 AM »

Blood Stain Child, and they're an absolute favorite of mine!

This. I've been listening to a lot of J-Rock and J-Pop lately so I might be biased as well

Still I do like the songs I've heard from them though.

In your defence every japanese girl under 30 looks like 16.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #29 on:** March 10, 2014, 06:11:09 PM »

Seriously. ^That combined with the fact the MG is barely older than them iirc makes his post fairly benign.

That was much less obnoxious than I thought it would be.

Actually it's kinda catchy.

in his defence!?!
if Japanese girls under 30 (aka those in their 20s) look 16, one might reason that Japanese girls 14-16 look prepubescent.

Not enirely sure what you mean or point is but I just meant that japanese girls looks generally alot younger than they are.

exactly! these 14 year old girls, that were probs 13 when they shot the video, look more along the lines of 11 years old.

anyway, I was just trying to be funny. people can fap to BabyMetal all they want.
