An Interview With BABYMETAL
Fellow journalist Emily, photographer Simon and I are lurking at the backstage entrance of The Forum concert hall in London waiting to interview Japanese death metal/pop music viral sensation BABYMETAL. We are hopelessly early.
An Insight Into Japan’s Idol Avante Guarde
As many visitors to my almost award winning, world famous, now ex-food blog know, I have been writing a lot about Japanese music recently – well, mostly about Babymetal TBH – and have totally got into a lot of other Japanese bands. One of which is the fascinating Neconomidol (or Necronima).
Anyway, I had the opportunity to catch up with Ricky Wilson, the band’s producer, who explains what it’s like to run an idol unit and how the outer fringes of Japanese music work.
It’s very interesting, that’s all I can say.
