BABYMETAL’s story began as an experiment that should not have worked: idol-pop voices and synchronized choreography placed against blast beats, down-tuned guitars, and arena-sized metal. Fifteen years later, that collision has become a language of its own, carrying SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL from a Sakura Gakuin sub-unit to landmark international stages and a catalog that keeps pushing beyond its original formula.

BABYMETAL formed in Tokyo in 2010 through the Japanese talent agency Amuse as the heavy-music sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin. The original trio paired Suzuka Nakamoto as SU-METAL with Moa Kikuchi as MOAMETAL and Yui Mizuno as YUIMETAL. None of the three began with a conventional metal background, which made the project’s combination of idol pop and heavy music even more unexpected.
“Doki Doki ☆ Morning” provided the first major glimpse of that idea in 2011. The group’s self-titled debut album followed in Japan in 2014, collecting early singles including “Ijime, Dame, Zettai,” “Megitsune,” and “Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!” alongside “Gimme Chocolate!!,” whose video carried BABYMETAL to a much larger international audience.
METAL RESISTANCE arrived in 2016 with “Karate,” “THE ONE,” and a wider, more ambitious metal sound. That year, BABYMETAL became the first Japanese artist to headline London’s Wembley Arena. The album reached number 39 on the Billboard 200, placing the group firmly inside the international rock and metal conversation.
YUIMETAL officially departed in 2018 after an extended absence related to her health. SU-METAL and MOAMETAL continued as a duo, supported onstage by rotating dancers known as the Avengers, and released METAL GALAXY in 2019. The album broadened the band’s sound through collaborations and global influences, reached number 13 on the Billboard 200, and became the first release by an Asian act to top the Top Rock Albums chart.
THE OTHER ONE, released in 2023, presented ten songs connected by a concept of parallel worlds. That same year, Momoko Okazaki, who had performed as one of the Avengers, became the group’s official third member under the name MOMOMETAL, restoring BABYMETAL’s three-member formation.
The collaborative METAL FORTH followed on August 8, 2025. Its ten-song program brought BABYMETAL together with Poppy, Electric Callboy, Slaughter to Prevail, Bloodywood, Polyphia, Spiritbox, and Tom Morello. A 2026 deluxe edition expanded the album with two remixes of “from me to u” and live recordings from the O2 Arena, Intuit Dome, and Saitama Super Arena.
BABYMETAL’s international growth has also been driven by touring. The group has appeared at major rock and metal festivals and shared bills or tours with artists including Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N’ Roses, and Korn. Their concerts combine the Kami Band’s musicianship with choreography, theatrical staging, and the mythology of the Fox God.
The list below is an album-track catalog rather than a list of unique compositions. It preserves separately released bonus versions, alternate edits, remixes, and live recordings when they appeared as album or deluxe-edition tracks. The restoration also adds the five bonus recordings from METAL FORTH (Deluxe Edition), released June 26, 2026.
