Thanks. There are a lot of Babymetal guides on YouTube, but I haven't seen one pitched this way.

My readership leans to the left-wing feminist. I'm probably more likely to lose followers than get a lot of views on this one, but I had to give it a try. If it makes $2, that's probably a win…

In any event, I stuck to the band's adult version versus, say, the peekaboo thighs outfit years. I don't know how people feel about that now, but for me, as an older guy raised in a feminist household, the little-girl stuff felt pretty sketchy.

I've come to terms with most of it, but it put me off for years. So I based this on the approach that worked this time: "OK, these are grown women who can make their own choices. I'll start with that."

I don't know their U.S. West Coast tour schedule, but if they're out here, I'll figure out how to make at least one date work.
