At the beginning of September, we joined novelist A.J. Hartley at Dragon Con in Atlanta to do a panel called "10 Years of BABYMETAL." Beth Giles, organizer of the "Silk Road track" that this panel was part of, joined us as moderator. This is that panel. Join us!

As BABYMETAL heads toward the end of the 10th anniversary celebration, museum exhibitions in Japan were announced as well as a book written by Kobametal, covering the decade of live shows. BABYMETAL cryptically revealed that at the conclusion of "10 BABYMETAL YEARS," they will be sealed from the world, disappearing from view until the seal is broken. We discuss this and other recent news. Join us!

The 10 BABYMETAL Budokan World Premiere stream happened, showing footage of the most recent of the Budokan shows, the most recent show BABYMETAL has performed. We discuss the show and stream (spoilers: both were excellent), and we talk about the announcement of the various editions of the 10 BABYMETAL Budokan shows that were announced afterwards (The One editions, Limited editions, basic editions, etc.). Join us!

In recent months, we've been able to read and discuss a number of interviews from Japanese publications, in large part due to a tremendous amount of translation work by funnytoss and Capable-Paramedic from the Discord/reddit community. In this episode, we talk with Steven (funnytoss) about the process of translation, his path to this point, and the challenges and decisions involved in translating Japanese interviews for a Japanese audience to English for a western audience. Join us!

BABYMETAL surprised us by releasing vinyl editions of pretty much all of the live shows they've sold to date, including a special box set that was limited to 100 copies and which—despite the lack of warning and premium price—sold out right away. We talk about these, other news, and then turn to discuss the interview with Kobametal in Hedoban 24 and some related articles as well. Join us!

After a few thoughts about BABYMETAL's recent offering of a golden vinyl and NFT bundle, we turn to the main topic of the episode: several recently-translated interviews with Kobametal. We discuss Kobametal's recollections of last-minute adjustments to show visuals, arguments in favor of uniforms, indifference to whether music on the album can be played by humans, confusing thoughts about ramen, and more.

Fox Day arrived, bringing with it... a cryptic tweet and nothing further. Certainly no metal detectors or beach umbrellas. We decide to pin our hopes on Budokan X instead, and spend most of the time talking about interviews with Mikiko, Su-metal, and Moametal, recently translated from PMC volume 18. Join us!
