2010: Origins and formation

The group was initially formed in 2010 as a subunit of the female idol group Sakura Gakuin, aiming to realize a "fusion of metal and idol [music]".[A][1][10][11][3] Kobametal (Babymetal's producer) says that he had been envisioning the creation of a group around Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal)'s lead vocals ever since 2009, since the time when Suzuka's group Karen Girl's disbanded. Kobametal looked around for more members and finally decided that because of Suzuka's unique stage presence, the other members should contrast her. "What if other children were dancing around her like angels?",he thought, and so asked Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) and Moa Kikuchi (Moametal) (both were just 10 years old at the time[2]) to participate.[12] None of the three members knew what metal music was before the inception of the band.[13] Suzuka Nakamoto (Su-metal) once said in an interview to MTV 81, "The first time we heard the idea for Babymetal, we were like 'What the?!'".[B][14]

According to Kobametal, Babymetal's name came to him by revelation (as a "divine message"). It is a play on the words "heavy metal", as, in Japanese, the word "baby" (ベビー bebī?) rhymes with "heavy" (ヘビー hebī?). "Baby" may indicate cuteness, "metal" – intensity. Also, he has come to like interpreting it as "newborn metal".[15] In an interview for Razor TV while in Singapore in late 2013, the band members also used the latter interpretation. They stated their brand of metal was a newborn genre, and that was what "baby" in "Babymetal" stood for.[13]

If you want different things than you listen to Avant Garde.

They are OK. Even though I tend to listen to that kind of music from time to time, I simply didn't find anything appealing about them or their songs.

Coming from somebody who has the Black Butler manga on his favourites, your opinion isn't worth much.
