I can just barely find myself in one of the shots, I meant more in the general sense. Just think it's very amusing how cheeky they are selling Babymetal crowd as their own. :lol: But it's business, so good for them I guess.

The camera crew kept rolling throughout Babymetal set too so maybe we'll get it on Blu-ray by the end of the year.

Yeah, that is pretty funny. You can definitely make out some BM shirts in the crowd, too.  :rofl:
 
There's one shot early on that points up to the left balcony from the right side of the stage that might have caught berry and I, but it was totally dark. Not that you would've been able to make anyone out from that distance, anyway.

The 14-year-old me reading The Satanic Bible like it's the greatest thing ever can't stop laughing.

What the fuck is going on in this timeline. :lmfao:

Message from the three-eyed fox named PROPHET OF THE FOX GOD

“When THE FOX EYE sheds light on the world, a NEW GODDESS shall arrive.”

This NEW GODDESS shall appear at
that Holy Land and become the next MESSIAH in order to lead the XX generation.

A new prophecy shall be revealed at the closing of METAL RESISTANCE EPISODE V.

... oh shit. :eekrun:

The leading theory is that it's just Su officially turning 20 aka adult and extra shows in Hiroshima and I really damn hope it's just that.

They can't treat BM as a J-idol group and graduate/replace members. They are a legitimately global act.

The issue is they did so little in over a year that people are both starved for something new and paranoid that it will be something terrible. Posting one of the most unflattering official photos ever recently didn't help.

But so far it seems that the Hiroshima shows will be mostly business as usual birthday shows. Unless they drop some bomb during them. I hope it will be a new song if anything. The stupid Unikitty theme doesn't count.

I don't think they'd ever replace the members, they'll just disband once they're too old for the gimmick.

Mikio Fujioka, aka "Little Guitar God" has passed away on January 5th from injuries he suffered in an accident a week earlier. He is survived by his wife and two little daughters. He was 36.

He was a core member of Babymeta's live Kami Band, as well as of the side-project Kari Band he formed with BoH and Yuya Maeta.

The blog posts by Mikio's bandmates are hitting hard.

BOH
Spoiler: [+]
"BOH-nyan, see you next year"

these are the last words Fujioka sensei gave me.


December 30th, 2017, I was returning home to Ashahikawa city in Hokkaido, where my parents live. That evening, Fujioka-sensei's wife called me.

"Mikio-kun fell from a high place and is in hospital, but he is conscious".

Besides music, Fujioka-sensei liked the universe and the weather charts.

Apart from uploading photos to Twitter, he would sometimes send us photos of the night sky and the moon. He would send us weather forecasting based on his own analysis on upper-level charts.

"BOH-nyan, look at this pressure trough".

"I wouldn't be able to recognize (lol)".

Such conversations were nothing out of the ordinary for us.

However, Fujioka-sensei's weather forecasts were highly accurate.

He was probably going to send me a picture of the night sky and write something like "Tonight's sky, and the weather tomorrow will be..."

I should go visit him when I am back in Tokyo....[, I thought.]


January 2nd, 2018, I returned to Tokyo.

I planned visiting Fujioka-sensei right away, but it seemed only family members could visit.

His schedule would be very busy, including the production of KARI BAND album. We will need to obtain Fujioka-sensei's schedule book in order to know what he had planned, and who to contact.


January 5th.

"His condition suddenly worsened and Mikio-kun has passed away".

I could not hide how upset I was from his wife.

I wanted to think that this was a bad joke. I wanted to think that this was a dream. I wanted a silly caption to appear and say that I've been had.


January 6th.

Emergency meeting with people close to him.

After that, I went to see Fujioka-sensei.

He was asleep with a smile on his face, surrounded by his wife, daughter, and parents.

It was the first time when Fujioka-sensei felt so cold to touch.


January 7th.

I must prepare to say farewell.


January 8th, January 9th.

Vigil. Funeral.

About four years ago, I met Fujioka-sensei for the first time.

He was playing some difficult piece while reading the musical sheet in the studio.

I did not think at that time that he would become such a close friend.

158cm tall, long hair, cute appearance... but with the voice of an old man.


Fujioka sensei loves cigarettes.

He would go to the smoking area if he have a little time. When his cigarette runs out, He smoke my cigarette without permission.He also put a hand on the last one.

"BOH-nyan, I'll return it later"

I have never returned from him.


He is weak headed but love liquor.

He drink as same pace as I am, with a small body, so He get drunk quickly.
It was troublesome to have a Fujioka sensei on the brink of drunkenness.
When he get drunk, he clap my head all the time while making his hair crispy.
I once had punched him by about 70% of power to get some silence.


He loves guitar and music.

While working on sessions and support, He has been a instructor of music school and writing textbooks for a long time. He did not select job as long as he can play the guitar.

"I don't select job. No matter how you would be seen or said from others, If I can play the guitar, I don't care. "

He didn't release the guitar even during rehearsal breaks or before on stage.
He used to often kept his left hand on the guitar neck even while eating.

He also squeeze the work of writing a magazine into packed up schedule.
Mikio Fujioka is the one who can not decline a job offer if asked.
I saw him often writing manuscript even during the tour.

But when he get tired, he drinks beer so efficiency is no good.


He loved the company around him.

"BOH-nyan, let's go and drink together!"
And also for some reason I always ended up paying more.

"Next time I'll treat you"
But this hasn't happened even once.

He would talk again and again about the same thing all around. He would dig deeply into not really interesting discussions.
He was someone who constantly wanted to talk with people.

"BOH-nyan, you often talk about things that are neither sugar not salt"

There is no agreement.

...but you have no right to say that to me. We went together to eat and drink, together doing shopping, together to the toilet... are we little kids? (lol)


Mikio Fujioka didn't want to be alone, as much as possible.
He never spoke ill of other people. Only sporadically he showed a desire of being liked by people.

But, during the tour he was the one who would open his luggage and scatter things around, and he would often lose things and cause trouble, while looking for them around.
It was our job to find his mobile phone or lighter that he had lost.


He loved his family.

He often went fishing together with his father.
His mother often worked at her parents's greengrocery.
He often told the fact that his sister used to be a delinquent.

The story from his childhood that I heard the most was "I loved to go by the sea to pick oysters and eat them there to my heart's content"

He was a little poacher.

Fujioka Sensei loved cheerful things, and his parents and uncle were like the embodiment of that, always cheerful and they never stopped talking. Even at the funeral they made us laugh a lot.


And then more than anything else he loved his wife and daughters.

He uploaded many times his daughter's pictures on twitter, but more than that he sent a lot of pictures to us.

Even in the middle of an important discussion in a LINE group, he would upload pictures of his wife and daughters, to the point that the text was difficult to read.

When I met Fujioka Sensei, at least 2~3 times a day he would start conversations like

"my wife..."

"my daughter...".

When I asked him, "Sensei, what would you do if in the future your daughter will bring a musician boyfriend?"

he said "We'll go together at the studio and do a guitar battle! And then if he wins a battle of music sight reading, I'll approve him".

He really said that seriously. No chance he would have won.


I have a lot of memories about Fujioka Sensei.

It has been a short time, but it was so rich that it's full to maximum capacity.


The reason why I called him 'Sensei' wasn't just for the fact that he was a guitar teacher, but he was a walking musical theory book, and that's not an exaggeration, so deep was his knowledge of music.

And then even when he was a bit annoying, when I started the sentence with "Fujioka Sensei...", the conversation that followed was always friendly.


Sometimes people think about what is 'death'...

In my opinion, death is the moment when you are completely forgotten by everyone.

I don't want to let Fujioka Sensei die.

I'd like him to keep living forever in the future. Actually, I won't accept this not happening!

Fujioka Sensei's voice, the tone of his guitar, all these memories are vividly impressed in the memories inside our hearts.

I'd like to keep spreading them more and more.

All the things Fujioka Sensei said to me roughly 2 weeks ago, about the things he would like to do, the goals he would have liked to achieve, his thoughts about music, I have to make them true.

All of us must keep making music carrying the responsibility of Fujioka Sensei's thoughts.

Even after this, we'll keep playing together.


But Fujioka Sensei, for now it's time for you to take a little rest.


Thank you Fujioka Sensei.

Let's drink together again (B・o・H)

Guitarist Mikio Fujioka san has departed to Heaven.

We shared the stage many times, and he has taught me really a lot of things.
Whenever I felt lost or I was troubled about my musical performance, I always contacted Fujioka san.
Despite all my constant and troublesome questions, he always replied in a gentle and polite way.
Occasionally, he made an explanation attaching a video.
I really admire from the bottom of my heart both his guitar playing and his personality.

I wanted to learn more from Fujioka san.
I wanted to play more music together.

No matter how much I think about it, I still can't believe it, and it's heart-breaking. I feel a pain in my chest.

But towards the end of the funeral, Fujioka san's mother told me this: "Mikio kun was a boy who loved cheerful things, so please see him off with a smile, do this for him. I will also spend my days as cheerfully as usual as I did up to now. Because I think that is what would make Mikio-kun the most happy."

When I think about Fujioka san, he was always playing with a smile, showing that he was having fun.
Always laughing.

Therefore, with Fujioka san's thought always in my mind, I'd like to keep living every day with a smile.

Fujioka san, I'm truly grateful.
I'm happy to have met you.

I pray from the bottom of my heart for your happiness in the afterlife.

Leda

And yeah I was considering going to Rock on the Range because the lineup kind of rules but....my friend who lives in Columbus is SUPER flaky so I was kind of hesitant to plan on it and now I feel like something is going on that weekend but I can't remember what it is...

It's been forever since last release and as far as I know, there aren't any new songs since then (although I don't really follow them that closely). They just go on world tour all the time and then release expensive DVDs of that. All the cryptic announcements they do sound cool, but end up being disappointing.

I actually liked the song a decent amount. It did have the PassCode sound to it at times but it still sounded like Babymetal. I'm glad they finally have a new music video that isn't just a live performance from one of their shows. It feels like the first time in several years.

Amuse just confirmed they're insane and even more incompetent than UpFront at managing the members, also Babymetal as you knew and loved it is no more.
 
It's been a fun ride though.
