Babymetal

J-pop
J-pop

Babymetal is a J-pop act. Their sound grew out of DragonForce, Rob Halford, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Suzuka Nakamoto and Christopher Amott. Those roots explain a lot about how Babymetal arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Band-Maid, Atarashii Gakko!, Perfume, Ankor and BiSH, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nxdia, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 27 connections around Babymetal, reaching back through DragonForce and forward to Nxdia.
