Babymetal is a Japanese kawaii metal band. The band consists of
Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal" (Vocal and Dance) and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal"
(Scream and Dance). The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency.
Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session
musicians known as the "Kami Band" at performances.

The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Su-metal (Vocal and Dance), Moametal
(Scream and Dance), and Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal" (Scream and Dance), with the concept of
creating a fusion of the heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the
Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013,
following Nakamoto's departure from Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal released their eponymous
debut album in
February 2014. Their second album Metal Resistance was released worldwide on April 1, 2016.
Babymetal has also embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking
place outside of Asia.

On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) had decided
to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since
December 2017. Since her departure, the band has performed with one or more
backup dancers at live performances. In 2019, the band introduced three backup dancers
called Avengers who performed in rotation at each live show to form a trio with
Moametal and Su-metal.
Japanese band Babymetal has embarked on five headlining tours, in addition to performing at
various other one-off shows, award ceremonies, and television shows. Babymetal originated as a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin in 2010, and first promoted their first singles as part of the group at their various concerts in Japan. For the first three years, the band performed as a sub-unit of the main group called juon-bu (heavy music club).

Many of the band's performances are connected together within the band's lore, called the
Metal Resistance. In 2012 and 2013, the band performed in a series of headling shows,
accompanying the release of their major label singles "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" and "Megitsune".
Following the release of their debut album Babymetal in 2014, as well as their viral success
from their music videos, especially of the song "Gimme Chocolate!!", the band began their first
headlining tour, the Babymetal World Tour 2014, which began in April 2014 and ended in
December 2014, with performances in Europe, North America, and Japan. The following year,
the band headlined another one-off show in Saitama, Japan and embarked on their second
world tour, the Babymetal World Tour 2015, coinciding with the band's rerelease of
Babymetal (2014) internationally.

To promote the band's second studio album Metal Resistance (2016), Babymetal began the
Babymetal World Tour 2016: Legend Metal Resistance, which began with a headlinging
show at the Wembley Arena in April 2016 and ended with two shows at the Tokyo Dome in
September 2016. Critics praised the vocal performance of the singers, as well as the
instrumental performance of the supporting Kami Band. Following the conclusion of the show,
the band toured around the United States, serving as an opening act for the bands
Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Korn, and Stone Sour from
December 2016 to June 2017. Afterward, the band returned to Japan and performed a
series of shows in The Five Fox Festival in Japan tour, and finishing the year with a pair of
headlining shows in Hiroshima to commemorate the twentieth birthday of lead singer
Suzuka Nakamoto. Yui Mizuno did not perform from that show onwards, and with
Babymetal embarking on their Babymetal World Tour 2018 in May 2018, she eventually left
the group officially.
