A Quote by Suzuka Nakamoto

In the beginning, Babymetal received critical comments since the genre was new, but now we have an impression that Babymetal's music is getting accepted and spreading as one genre of music.
Babymetal's music is kind of - no one else creates this kind of music. When Babymetal first started, we wanted to give the impression of like, 'What the heck?!'
I think it's not only Babymetal's sound but also the fact that we dance to metal that represents a new way of expressing this genre of music.
We've always wanted to aim to be the only one and hopefully one day we'll be able to create this new genre called Babymetal.
Like Muse and Linkin Park, we are also striving to be the one and only to create a new genre called BABYMETAL. We hope to be as cool as them.
I've been spinning dance music since 1990, and genres always come and go. I think as technology becomes more accessible and it's easier for people to make music, they come and go quicker now, but it just comes with the territory. You come up with something new, something hot, and it rocks for a year. It's nothing different from any other genre of music. I mean, name one genre that's sounded the same for its entire existence. It doesn't happen.
When the first video was uploaded to YouTube, that's when we realized that people outside of Japan were interested. That's where we see Babymetal spreading, with people trying to mimic music or dance moves.
Pop music is the one genre that isn't a genre. If the kids like it, then that's what defines it as pop music. Pop music is just something new.
When I first became involved in Babymetal, I honestly hadn't known what metal music was about so everything was new to me.
The only place to find out what Babymetal is about and what Babymetal aims to do, you have to come out to a show.
Being involved with BABYMETAL has allowed me to acquire more chances to really become involved with music. As a result, I find myself noticing each individual instrument the band plays and I feel that I have found a new way of enjoying music on a deeper level.
I never have a genre in mind when I'm making music because I just like to be free. I feel that placing a genre on your music is limiting yourself.
Babymetal's music is something that no artist has attempted in the past, uniting people as one by crossing language barriers and national boundaries. It was a huge revelation when we realized that our music has such power.
I genre-hop quite a lot. I love manipulating genre and deconstructing it and making it irrelevant. Genreless music is great because it means you get to write in any genre that you like.
Hip-hop is a beautiful thing. I think that the music genre itself has created more millionaires than any other music genre before it, especially in our community.
Our aim is to bring everyone together through BABYMETAL's music.
I feel that Babymetal, it's one of my duties to pass down to future generations just how amazing metal music is, and hopefully they can put their own spin on what metal music is to them.
