That's a great list, especially the first section. I think the Sakura Gakuin section could use some expansion though. It's missing their first single, 'Yume ni Mukatte' (Fly Towards Your Dream): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-inJpAfotub4.html And the B-side, 'Hello! Ivy' : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s3x0uR-Mgzw.html Those are both really important SG songs. Also missing is what many would consider the best Sakura Gakuin music video, 'Heart no Hoshi'. Su has already graduated, but Yui and Moa starred in this one during their senior year. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-50hE3tt9eJE.html
In the Covers section the 1st one goes to the wrong place. Heres a link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5NJXi72kC_s.html This is a really great cover so enjoy when you get to it.
Please please please include Aogeba Totoshi by Sakura Gakuin on your list ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U3ZwgC44_YQ.html This is from 2014 after Su graduated, so let's show Moa and Yui some love love love. :)
⚡ Both Suzuka and her older sister Himeka were interested in performing, so they both tried out for the Actors School Hiroshima (ASH). Su got in on her first try, and Himeka made it in on the next round of auditions. As you will see from Khalid Abdullah's list, they later performed together at ASH as a duo act named "Tween", as well as in solo performances there. In 2011, Himeka became a first-generation member of the idol group Nogizaka46, and she continued with them until November 2017.
Thanks for taking the time to dig into the history of Babymetal. That performance is really good on a couple of levels; her voice has pretty good control for an 8 year old, without knowing for sure, she sure sounds like she may have perfect pitch, her dancing is basic but still stays within the beat of the music and shows that she can dance and sing at the same time. I remember my daughter at 8 beginning to learn the flute and Su is already singing and dancing.
I don't think these performances are auditions, they are recitals. What amazes me about mini Su is that you can still see and hear Su-metal even at that young age. You are right about the confidence, I have long said that Su was born with a microphone in her hand. She once said "if they took singing away there would be nothing left." This is what she was meant to do. Riho Sayashi, one of the three Avengers on tour with Babymetal, also went to ASH with Su, and is on stage with her in this group number ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqvX4avbZSQ.html
@dem0n, kid Yui was incredibly cute. Did you get a chance to see any of the "It's Prius World" episodes she was in? About the same time as her commercials work. Kuramoto was the adult supervision. Had 3 of the 98's and Rinon in the cast as well as a bunch of other kids. Can't find any episodes out there anymore.
@@Zedem0n, yes, The Thrawn had a couple on dailymotion, but the links are dead or marked private. The copyright sweep some months back took out so many good things.
This is going to be great, I found and watched some these videos you have listed. The ARTS is a big deal in Japan and Asia making the arts a normal part of the educational curriculum. While a Suzuka is a rarity, all students are better for learning and taking part in singing, dance, painting, and school plays. Just writing is an art form in Japan.
Suzuka is comfortable on stage at age 8, I agree. But at age 8 she had already been in the entertainment industry for 5 years (!) so I would be surprised if she wasn't. I agree with Dean Grant, it's not an audition. As the name suggests Actor School Hiroshima is a way to teach. Suzaka did good for her age, so she got to perform a solo at one (well, every one of them actually) of the half year events. Current Babymetal one of the 3 Avengers, Riho, also was at ASH. Riho at the same was known as the best dancer in ASH and Suzuka was known as the best singer. So it's kind of fitting they are now together in Babymetal with those roles. :-)
Here is a video of Suzuka at age 5 in the entertainment industry (earliest video we have, no singing and no dancing): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mTHQn2tFx0A.html
This is great, I'm going to enjoy watching you discover more as you go through Khalid Abdullah's excellent list (plus the videos Rick Wagner has suggested I hope).
You should check this one out before going back to Babymetal it is Su's graduation speech and Moa's reaction to her leaving sakura gakuin ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-spd_wnXv2l8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x51ogGvlxro.html
