According to Kobametal, Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi were added to complement Nakamoto's 'unique stage presence' with their smaller statures, dancing around her 'like angels'. The band's name is a combination of 'baby' ( гѓ™гѓ“гѓј, bebД«) and 'heavy metal' ( гѓгѓ“гѓјгѓЎг‚їгѓ«, hebД« metaru), and the Japanese pronunciation rhymes with 'heavy metal'. The band was formed in 2010 in Tokyo, Japan, as the heavy music club ( й‡ЌйџійѓЁ, JЕ«onbu), or sub-unit, of the female idol group Sakura Gakuin, which was also newly formed that year. Kobametal, the band's producer and long-time heavy metal enthusiast, started planning to launch an idol/heavy metal fusion group in 2009 after he was impressed by Suzuka Nakamoto's performance with her previous group, Karen Girl's, thinking she was suitable to be the lead vocalist for the new group. 1.4 2018вЂ“present: The Chosen Seven era, departure of Yuimetal, Metal Galaxy.1.3 2016вЂ“2017: Touring and Metal Resistance.1.2 2013вЂ“2015: Major label debut and Babymetal.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.

On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno had decided to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017. Babymetal has also embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking place outside of Asia. Their second album Metal Resistance was released worldwide in April 2016. Babymetal released their eponymous debut album in February 2014. 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. 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. Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the 'Kami Band' at performances. The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. The band consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as 'Su-metal' and Moa Kikuchi as 'Moametal'. Babymetal ( Japanese: гѓ™гѓ“гѓјгѓЎг‚їгѓ«, Hepburn: BebД«metaru) (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese kawaii metal band.
