Well, Easter is approaching. As a kid, I used to remember my parents buying these huge chocolate Easter bunnies from the supermarket or Shopper's Drug Mart. My brother and I took quite a while to devour the annual Easter bunny, and frankly I'm surprised that we survived the ritual. I mean, that was one hunk of solid milk chocolate!
It's been a while since we've invited the good ladies from BABYMETAL onto KKP, so welcome them back to the blog. The heavy metal/J-Pop band has been visiting Toronto a few times over the years but it doesn't look like they'll popping by the 6ix this year although they did visit our city last summer.
"Gimme Chocolate!!" is a song that was released in the UK as a single in May 2015 although in Japan, it popped up as just a track on BABYMETAL's self-titled debut album several months earlier in February 2014. Composed by Takeshi Ueda（上田剛士）and written by Mk-metal and Kxbxmetal, it's a headbanging and heart stopping mix of heavy metal and Japanese pop, stuffed with enough energy to feel as if I had munched down half of that aforementioned chocolate rabbit in one go. SU-METAL, MOAMETAL and YUIMETAL are wailing their thoughts on chocolate which is stretching from one end to the other. Do they happily fall to the temptation of the sweet goodness or hold off on it, lest their weight board a rocket ship? I can totally relate!
Wow! All that mayhem and strobing in the music hall above. If I'd had a Snickers while watching all this in person, it would have been "Gimme Ambulance!!".
Love this... Babymetal remain an wonderfully entertaining act.
ReplyDeleteMomometal is a relative newcomer to the band... at the time of this song it was Yuimetal in the third singer role.
Thanks for the correction, Robert. I'll make the change.
