Yuimetal:
>To me, metal is a genre that gives me opportunities to find my new identity. When I stand on stage as Yuimetal, I can do things I wouldn’t normally do. I become more confident there than I normally am. Really, I can do anything with this team. I can go anywhere with this team. Really, I feel this way, really. Combining kawaii and metal, that’s BABYMETAL, and without it, I can do none of that.

Moametal:
>Here is what I have learned from these activities. Metal is something we shouldn’t lose interest in. Some people kindly told me, “BABYMETAL have initiated resurrection of the popularity of metal,” and I truly hope we will. The reason I say this is that… after I got introduced to metal, I began listening to many genres of music. This itself is an achievement for me. Honestly, I didn’t know that music had things that were heavy and things that were light. Before that, I had only listened to things I had liked and I had only sung the way I had liked. Metal has changed the way I view the world of music. A large variety exists even within metal. Of course, there are things I like and things I don’t like, but I want people of various ages to listen to these things and cultivate their sensitivities.

Yuimetal:
>Exactly. Before, I thought metal was all about speed and noisiness, with those singers just shouting about something. I thought there was nothing deep in it. Then I began touring overseas, began meeting people of metal bands, began watching their shows, and there was something about metal that touched me. I’m surprised that I’m beginning to feel something.
