In this episode we talk with novelist, Shakespeare scholar, and (more recently) creator of in-depth YouTube commentaries on the lyrics of BABYMETAL, A.J. Hartley. Our conversation touches on his experiences in Japan, his motivations for creating the videos, his thoughts on BABYMETAL's development and future directions, and much, much more. This episode also marks Callie's last as a regular... but we expect not the last episode she'll be on! Join us!

BABYMETAL has performed the first two shows (of ten!) at Nippon Budokan. We discuss, from afar, what happened at those two shows. We also discuss our prophet card predictions for the track listings on the SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and KOBAMETAL editions of the 10BMY album. Will any of us win one? Maybe. Well, no, no we won't. But still, maybe. Join us!

"10 BABYMETAL Years" has arrived, in most of its many versions. In this episode, we discuss our thoughts and impressions of them. Also, we discuss BABYMETAL's performance on NHK's New Year's Eve special (Kouhaku Uta Gassen), some newly released merchandise (some very nice, some kind of inexplicable, all expensive to ship overseas), and more.

BABYMETAL has now concluded their first decade, and so we looked back with our listeners to reflect on the past decade and year, on what BABYMETAL has meant to us, what their highlights were, what our own highlights were, the ways in which they inspired us, our hopes and fears for the future. The listener survey responses were numerous, thoughtful, and moving. Join us as we celebrate and ponder this BABYMETAL milestone.
