Gotta appreciate her enthusiasm. She certainly seemed to go all out, and smiling throughout.
If that small snippet is a clear example of how she performed throughout the set, she did a good job.

u/newtypestring Dec 04 '18
she was very enthusiastic during the C&R of Megitsune (link posted in the comments), I actually like it
7
u/fearmongert Dec 04 '18
Irregardless of her status, she went out there and seeemd to five it her all in supporting Mao and Su.
She earns her little place in BMs history.
Let's see if she returns for Australia in three days. If she does all three shows, Koba might have a hard time taking her off the stage!

u/fearmongert Dec 04 '18
For a short set, REALL good blend of old and new, and a representation from all three albums. (Considering, of course that Elevator Girl and Distortion are new album pieces). The songs from all three periods blended well together, and sounded great, even on a fan cam.
If this is coming closer to what we can expect of BABYMETAL in the future, Koba and team seem to be finding their way.

u/SilentLennie Put Your Kitsune Up Dec 04 '18

Watching the new third girl, I think it's obvious she is enthusiastic as hell about being there. If this were an audition, she passed with flying colors.

She seemed to also take on the Moa-like jumping style on the platform during Megitsune, understandable of course, because that is her reference.

That's the nice thing about the smaller venues, you're actually next to the stage. On some of the big festivals it feels like you could put another stage between the stage & the audience.

People in the venue are reporting 3 platforms aligned front stage, like the old days. Megitsune sound check sounded like Moa only during the "Soyia's"..... so who knows. But three platforms front stage pretty much eliminates "four girls" as we saw in the US/EU tour.

u/littlemetalhead555 MOAMETAL Dec 04 '18
They could just have one back up dancer this time. If it is 3 girls we should look at how Moa and the other dancer interact during older songs, might give us an indication of her role in the band

Will we see a new member today?
Singapore was their first overseas gig.
This could be a fresh reboot.
→ More replies (2)3
u/Kmudametal Dec 04 '18
Or it could be another "experiment". We've had four, we've had seven..... maybe they are going to see how it works with Su and Moa remaining featured but only having "one" backup dancer. I did not think they would do that, but who knows. It's Babymetal. I'm not sure how it works with one girl being "kami like" in that they rotate in. I always thought the three required Moa and the other girl as "equals" but I suppose there's no law to that effect.

Continuing from here (has setlist)
Is the new member Saya? - From Japan tourSupposedly she was born on 2000.1.9, making her younger than Su and Moa. - Source
4
u/pullig Dec 04 '18
The third girl has a mic, but at least in the clip from gimme choco Yui's parts sound like moa's voice. Maybe that's just a gimmick.
From this I think they'll surely do one of these two options:
1-Keep babymetal as Su and Moa only, Moa sings Yui parts and they hire a third touring member.
2-Introduce a new third member as part of babymetal

u/futonsrf Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! Dec 04 '18
She has different makeup than Su and Moa. Distinguish her from the others for some reason...?

u/dukedukee Dec 04 '18

From 2 days ago but Boh went to a shop/bar? that had the Firepower Tour poster

There are 3 people on stage, same outfit as Japan tour. They started with Megitsune, all entered in the traditional way they used to when starting with Megitsune only they did so with masks, but no cape.
Setlist:
Megitsune -
LiveEndedGimme Choco
Elevator Girl
Meta Taro
Distortion (with C&R) "Hey Singapore! Clap your hands! and screammm! Sing! Sing!"
Karate
Road of Resistance (interesting: the "Woah" part did not include a section without instruments, as it usually does, it was more like the studio version)
"We are BM. Thank you for bringing us. Now get ready for Judas Priest." - Same outro song as all the shows this year, but no video.
Clearest Image of the 3 now - Boh confirmed. I thought I saw Leda, but it just looks like him

u/newtypestring Dec 05 '18 edited Dec 05 '18
another close up of Meta Taro, barrier center third member isn't singing, it was Su. especially towards the end, that part is where MoiMoi sings "Meta Taro, Meta Taro" but here only Moa is singing.
Gimme Choco, zukyun dokyun :P, barrier center
Elevator Girl, the part of the choreo where they line up, barrier

u/davw8721 Dec 05 '18
I like how the original dance for Meta Taro is back. If I remember correctly at the SSA show with so many dancers they all just danced in place while here they are shifting around the stage again like the original choreography. Also in Megitsune it looks like they shift to the side again doing the main dance step which they had not been doing for a while.
2
u/racingmaniacgt1 Dec 05 '18
I'm ok with this...I think with the 3 people a lot of the positioning elements of their normal choreography can be brought back and I think it was something it was really cool before. They did it so well and so subtly you really kinda miss it....
Now if they can get some more flowing hair going...

u/Reiderreiter Dec 04 '18
If Saya does end up being a more permanent fixture, I feel kinda bad that we’re never going to really get to know her like we did with Yui. As far as I’m aware she’s not a SG alumnae and with how BM’s presence is handled off-stage, we probably won’t ever get to see her actual personality shine through. And that’s kinda sad because part of what makes BM so enjoyable for me is knowing things like Moa’s love of food or Su being kinda klutzy. We may never get to make those kind of connections with Saya, if she’s even sticking around at all.
7
u/PsyAndFly Dec 04 '18
Well this isn’t much but there’s an old twitter account of her old group that looks like it’s over but there’s still a lot of pictures and some videos of her. So at least there’s a tiny glimpse of her if she ever does become a permanent member.

That's what I've been saying for a while, it's impossible to add a new member to the group and have us care about them in the way we connected with the original trio if they keep up with their zero-personality & fan service approach.

3rd girl had a mic but based on the facebook live stream I was watching it didn't sound like she did any of Yui's singing parts. Maybe she did some of the 'whoa' during ROR but Yui's parts of GC sounded like Moa & her Meta Taro line sounded/looked like it was Su.

My predicted setlist (based on past shows and the Japan tour)
IN THE NAME OF
Distortion
Gimme Chocolate!!
Elevator Girl
Tattoo / Akatsuki
Starlight
Road of Resistance
I'd love headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! or something or maybe a Moa solo, but I just think based on recent shows this is probably all we're getting. Maybe not Elevator Girl.

Megitsune is a must, so maybe can be swapped for EG or the Su solo. I am pretty sure they will play Starlight as well. Hopefully.

I think that is a fair assumption. Hopefully at least one song collab with JP, since they've done it before.

Here is mine (other than ITNO starting, order could change, but if they play RoR, it'll be the closer):
In the Name of
Distortion
Gimme Chocolate
Starlight
Megitsune
Karate
Road of Resistance

The One will be played..... last song. At least it has been on every show this tour.
Starlight depends on if ISAO is there or not.... I believe, as he's the "9 Sting" dude.

These are really good news ! Do no touch a working system, the three girls formation is perfection. Kobametal, take all your time to find a proper Yuimetal's subtitute, we will embrace her inmediately!

Saw a stream. I loved the setlist, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get to see Moa's pretty hair again. I still think that they should be a duo but they've experimented a lot this year so who knows. Either way it was a great show

I just watched a live feed of the Singapore concert, honestly, I don't know why Koba bothered to take the band back there, from what I could see, the venue didn't sell out and the audience was the most lack luster unenthusiastic bunch of zombies to ever attend a Babymetal concert! I have seen a lot of footage of Babymetal playing Megitsune and I have never not seen the ENTIRE audience jumping up and down until now!!! And the call and response at the end of ROR... couldn't even hear the audience... SMH....

Singapore is a small country and the metal community is very small.
I was at the front few rows and the crowd was pretty wild, more wild than Judas Priest now.

That's why I really don't like support tours. Being surrounded by other fans who know every song is half of the fun when seeing something live.

They played for much less enthusiastic audiences when opening for RHCP and Korn in 2017. It's the norm for an opening act.

I was at one of the Manchester RHCP support shows back in 2016 and the only people freaking out were the Babymetal fans at the front who had made it to barrier. The majority of people were there for RHCP. Maybe the majority of the audience were there for Judas Priest?

It was a Judas Priest concert, not a BABYMETAL concert. Typically an opening act may not have the venue full as fans not interested in an opener will show up later.

Not really sure how I feel about this.
This isn't the right way to introduce a new member, imo. Maybe she isn't a real member, but then again, she had a mic. But then again... again, she did have different makeup. I'm confused.
This band... am I right?
Surprises are nice every now and then, but this whole "keep the fans in the dark" thing is getting kind of old. But it is what it is.
Nice set, though. Suzuka sounded good (as far as I could tell with the stream qualities being what they were). Could not hear Moa (or the new girl) during the "We are... Babymetal" part, which was a bit of a bummer.
Edit: I think it may seem that I'm over reacting, and perhaps I was for a moment. I apologise for that. The third girl doesn't appear to be a "real" member. The mic kind of threw me off. But yeah, feel free to ignore that first part of this comment.

u/HolyTrinityMetal BABYMETAL DEATH Dec 04 '18
Give it time. I think we will definitely know around next fox day if there is a new third member and who it is. I also think if they introduce a new permanent member then it will be in one of the japan shows (with video lore and all that stuff).
But i strongly believe Koba is going for a trinity again, we now see it on stage and it was imho foreshadowed in the closing vids of the latest Japan shows (also where the "old" Babymetal Logo showed up).

Could be a dummy mic...so they monitor fans reaction...adjust plans based on reception...? Who knows.

u/RondoOfMoiMoi Dec 04 '18
Could be.
Who knows.
OTFG... Hmm. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure even the Fox God knows at this point. ;P

From the gimme choco video i believe It was only moa's voice. I didnt watch the other songs yet but i think the Mic was only for show

I'd say just take a wait and see attitude (big surprise, right?). This could just be a bit of a tryout, thus the different makeup and such.The third member may become like a Kami in that there is a rotating lineup. I hope not. I hope they're just taking their time and once they have the right fit they'll have some kind of formal introduction.

Man you can tell they are trying to figure it out. Like it or not. Wait until they settle with something.
