This is the "lead singer" of babymetal's graduation from that school program where the rest of the girls think that she will be rotated out of the babymetal lineup and be gone.

Genki Sudo (the famous fighter) comes back to his group "world order" to make a statement.



Band Maid releases new album called "world domination" with some pretty good playing.



America fights back with a truly amazing band bringing along some sweden.

Babymetal embarked on a US tour without one of the 3 key members which caused reddit and twitter to implode.

It's possible management just made a huge mistake.

One of the heaviest groups around.

Yui (girl on left) has still not appeared and speculation is that she injured a knee.........which is highly plausible considering the choreography.



The girls are now 19 and 20 and the expected more mature songs are emerging.

This is a "small stage" show from atlanta where the lead singer get's her solo piece.

One of Japan's earliest metal groups still playing.



Deep Purple and Rainbow were super influential in japan.

EZO was also around back when Loudness hit the states / 80s.  Hard to find any videos of them though. Flashback Heartattack was probably their biggest hit. MTV used to use the guitar lick from House of 1000 Pleasures for breaking in to their news segment. (I think it was the news segment)

In the GGC video... looks like they have endorsements from almost everyone.  Was only a few names I saw missing between the guitars and the backline. Too bad the ESP was fake and they butchered Night Ranger.

-edit- Added MTV trivia.

That is a custom ESP who has a bunch of students at their "guitar craft academy" work with musicians to break bizarre ideas.....Hence the chains and holes.     Both the guitarist and bassist of Gacharic Spin have a few ESP customs while the drummer prefers a Gretsch White Falcon.

ESP has what amounts to a college for music from stage design, to musical instrument design and repair, and into the talent end of things.

It's much bigger than I expected.

The girl with the blue guitar is actually playing in disguise as her "metallic spin" persona and she has an interesting pedalboard.    You can't see her digitech whammy, or a few other effects but she does have at least two "signature pedals".
