Frank's best friend has been a fan of Babymetal for a while. I had never heard of them, but looked them up today. Sounds interesting, but not so much I would start buying ablums or t-shirts. The idea of mixing Heavy Metal with Japanese Manga-style kids seems interesting, but Frank's best friend is such a huge fan he buys lots of merchandise and seems to have something I that could only call an altar in his room with all kinds of Babymetal gadgets, posters etc. Has anyone ever heard of them? Are they really that popular? Btw, Frank and another friend were talking about whether they should stage an intervention for their friend because he talks about nothing but Babymetal and has dragged another friend into this as well. It's beginning to look a bit like a cult.

I've heard of them - even listened to a track or two. They're not bad ...but not amazing.
To get hooked on merchandise and everything does seem a bit extreme, but then a lot of Japanese culture does seem to lend itself to obsessive fandom.

They're ok, but I wouldn't build an altar.

Maybe we will have a Babymetal Cult here one day - Frank's friend hardly talks about anything else.

Is Babymetal a child of Lead Zeppelin by any chance?
