Babymetal is a Japanese metal idol band.
The three teenage girls and their band are managed by the Amuse talent agency.
Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation played by the Kami Band.
The group was initially formed in 2010 as a subunit of the female idol group Sakura Gakuin, aiming to realize a
"fusion of metal and idol". None of the three members knew what metal music
was before the inception of the band.
