In 2013, Moametal of the kawaii metal group Babymetal performed a cover during their Legend 1999
show at NHK Hall. The song was chosen because it was a hit in 1999,
the year of Moametal and fellow member Yuimetal's birth.
"Love Machine" is Morning Musume's 7th single, released on September 9, 1999 as an 8 cm CD.
It sold a total of 1,646,630 copies, making it a massive hit (a #1 single in Japan) and their highest selling single. In 2004, it was re-released as part of the Early Single Box and again in 2005 as a
12 cm CD. The single also marked the debut of the "Third Generation" member Maki Goto and the
departure of Aya Ishiguro.
Moa Kikuchi , born July 4, 1999 is a Japanese musician, singer, model, and actress.
She is represented by the talent agency Amuse, Inc. She is a member of the kawaii metal group
Babymetal and a former member of the idol group Sakura Gakuin.
Moa Kikuchi was signed to the talent agency Amuse, Inc. at the age of 8, after winning
Semi-Grand Prix (becoming a runner-up) in the Ciao Girl Audition 2007 held by the company.

On August 2, 2010, at the age of 11, Kikuchi joined Sakura Gakuin, an idol group also managed by
Amuse, Inc. She joined at the same time as another future Babymetal member, Yui Mizuno.
Sakura Gakuin had not yet released its debut single. During their audition, Kikuchi and
Mizuno performed a duo dance cover of "Over The Future" by Karen Girl's; two members of that group,
Ayami Muto and Suzuka Nakamoto, had also recently joined Sakura Gakuin.
Besides performing as a whole group, Sakura Gakuin members were also divided into smaller subgroups known as "clubs”. Each club had its own musical group that recorded its own songs. Kikuchi and Mizuno first became members of the "Baton Club" and its musical group Twinklestars. As backing singers and dancers, they were later teamed with lead singer Suzuka Nakamoto in a "Heavy Music" club, with the associated music group being named Babymetal. Before the formation of this club, none of the three members knew what heavy metal was.Babymetal became an independent recording group in 2012.Kikuchi "graduated" from
Sakura Gakuin in 2015, and now performs with Babymetal exclusively. Kikuchi and
Mizuno have a writing credit under the name "Black Babymetal" on the first Babymetal album in
2014, having written "Song 4" together during a bus trip. The second Babymetal album,
Metal Resistance, was released in 2016.
