2023-10-10 16:07:01 +0000 UTCYes Suzuka sings LIVE (seamlessly blending English with Japanese in some songs) while doing choreography and rarely (if ever) misses her mark onstage (watch how she perfectly timed her walk at the end of the song to be in the right location for the ending). She was born for this.

2023-10-10 15:57:56 +0000 UTCGreat reaction. As we explained in the comments on Youtube, 'Starlight' was the first of the three songs they ended their third album (Metal Galaxy - 2019) with. Collectively these three songs are known as the Trilogy of Lights. They describe the stages of mourning we go through after losing somebody close. 'Starlight' is about the initial shock and grief. 'Shine' is about acceptance and coming to terms with the loss (I hope you will watch the Legend M performance, that one is extra special - just Su, Moa and a guitar on stage and Moa's choreo is incredibly moving and emotional). 'Arkadia' is about looking to the future and better times to come. I left this out from my comment on YT because there is someone who just argues about it and I couldn't be arsed doing that all over with him again. It has never been said by anybody associated with BABYMETAL, but most fans believe the trilogy is a tribute to Kami Band guitarist Mikio Fujioka (RIP) who tragically died on 5th January 2018 after falling from an observation deck where he had been stargazing ... it is just fan speculation, but it is hard to believe there isn't something in it, especially given the lyrics of 'Starlight' - "Shine higher in the night. Like a Stargazer." "Wherever we are we'll be with you We'll never forget shining starlight. Wherever you are live in my heart We'll never forget shooting star." and the Legend M performance in particular of 'Shine' would also suggest there is something in it. 'Starlight' was also released on the same day in October 2018 that the original third member of BABYMETAL Yuimetal announced she would be leaving the band and Su has said she thinks of Yui and how she would have danced to this song, so maybe the tribute is for her as well. Only the Fox God knows.

2023-10-10 15:05:22 +0000 UTCWell I had this scheduled to post on Saturday and had no idea it didn’t post yet ( I’ve been so busy Sunday / Monday, I should have checked ). But, I shall make it up this week! Let’s see what happens!
