This unique combination has earned them a dedicated global fan base and critical acclaim for their ground-breaking live shows that offer both visual and auditory spectacles.

In April 2023, BABYMETAL announced the addition of a new third member, Momoko Okazaki, known as Momometal. Okazaki had previously performed as part of BABYMETAL’s trio of backup dancers, known as “Avengers,” since 2019. Her official inclusion into the core lineup came after the departure of Yuimetal in 2018, who left to pursue a solo career. Momoko’s diverse background, including her time with SAKURA GAKUIN and participation in the South Korean reality TV show “Girls Planet 999,” adds a fresh dynamic to BABYMETAL’s performances.
The Departure of Yuimetal
Yuimetal, one of BABYMETAL’s original members, left the group in 2018. Her departure marked a significant change for the band, as she had been a crucial part of their identity since their early days.

A Decade of BABYMETAL
To commemorate their first ten years, a book titled “Bessatsu Kadokawa Souryoku Tokushuu” was released in Japan in October 2020. This comprehensive volume includes an extensive interview with Su-metal and Moametal, as well as behind-the-scenes insights from producer Kobametal. The book provides fans with an in-depth look at the band’s history and their journey over the past decade.
The Latest Album: “THE OTHER ONE”
BABYMETAL’s latest concept album, “THE OTHER ONE,” released in March 2023, continues their tradition of innovative and thematic music.

Tracks from the album are expected to be a highlight of their upcoming tour, giving fans the chance to experience these songs live for the first time.
