If you were one of the fellow Charlotte barricade Kitsune, then I enjoyed them right along with you! "Tattoo" was prob the highlight of the night for me. I was too busy getting 0wnd by the Crush during EG.
To be honest, Yui (and Moa) were never important for the music, Su is the one making the group what it is. Without her epic clean singing they would be "just another kawai group". No matter how cute people think Yui is, Su is the one with the talent and skills that has cemented Babymetals place is heavy metals hall of fame. But of course we all want Yui to be on stage, shes an important part of the package.
My little girls are all growed up. *sniffle* I'm so proud. As usual, they're crushing it. It's disappointing that Yui has been absent for so long but I guess, at the end of the day, her health is a lot more important than our entertainment. In spite of being a woman down, they've been doing a great job on this last tour. Can't say that I'm loving the Xena Warrior Princess look though. I understand that they had to update their outfits, they're not little girls any more. I just would have preferred something a little more goth, a bit less leather. Hopefully this is just a Chosen Seven thing.
I think the best thing about this tour, even with the changes, watching Suzuka and Moa interact with the close up crowds is priceless , see Suzuka cracking smiles during songs and hell I don't think Moa ever stops smiling. I hope Yui comes back with them soon , she should really be able to steal souls with this set up :) . This new music is great the three songs are awesome, I don't see the babymetal train slowing down anytime soon.
ISAO almost always use 8-string guitars and kept that habit when joining BABYMETALs KAMI-BAND. Other BM guitarists predominantly use 7-strings . Regular 6-strings are rarely used with BM.
Indeed. ISAO usually plays an 8-string guitar. I noticed that when seeing him live. Leda used to use 6-string until he got his custom 7-string late in 2017. Of course Takayoshi and our dearly departed Mikio "Ko-Gami" use(d) 7-string almost exclusively. Takayoshi now sometimes plays Mikio's guitar instead of "Twinkle Pink(-chan)".
They are not the same without Yui The two sexually ambiguous dancers that replaced her on tour just don't cut it. Too many of the routines need her to counter Moa.
I hope yui comes back and they go back to how they used to be. I don't like the new dancers, the new costumes, and out of the new songs only "tattoo" is good. they used to be best until last year, I hope this year was just an anomaly and they return to be the best again.
