I mean, how in the heck could the discerning listener not be?
Never heard of him.
Same here. But thanks for the link, I need more exposure to pop culture. Interesting music. Not my cup of tea, but there seem to be real talent there.
I can never really be sure if the Japanese are making fun of us or not.
Sorry, is there a reason we’re using the singular masculine to refer to a band fronted by 3 japanese female teenagers?
I’m disappointed. I thought it was going to be actual babies.
90 seconds in, I was hoping to be Rickrolled.
I feel the same way. If the fans are sincere it is in the very least incredibly unusual.
I never heard of them, but I just watched the video and in answer to your question I can safely say no.
I’m sure that lots of kids like it, and that the young guys like the cute girls, but it’s forgettable generic idol J-pop with metal pretensions.
That is hilarious - laying down a blanket of rapid-fire, double-kick metal so you can put cute girly-pop on top of it.
They ain’t Shonen Knife, that’s for sure 
Can’t view YouTube at work.
Enough with the rigid gender roles, gramps!
I should add that I’m slightly embarrassed that I’m at all familiar with terms like idol and J-pop. It’s just internet osmosis, I suppose. Spend enough time online and you soak up all kinds of unwanted crap.
Just like porn, it was better with the sound off.
First I was confused, then delighted, then curious, then a little thirsty.
I am not sure if I like like it but I am intrigued enough to find more.
I like it. It took me a while to figure that out, though.
For some reason I want to like it. I can’t say why, but I want to.
But I just don’t. It’s sounds like something done by someone who thinks they understand metal but don’t. Like a slick corporate engineered version of metal by someone following an algorithm or something. Then they took the results and threw in some cutesy j-pop and, for the cherry on top, used auto-tune for the vocals. I almost always hate autotune.
It’s too fake and overproduced. There’s no heart to it. Are those girls even the ones singing?
To me you’ve described its charm to a T.
Well that was a pretty bad song. You could have at least given us a song. This at least doesn’t sound like something someone threw together as a joke.
