I'm a theorizer, yep new term and I'm coining it. I'm kinda crazy for putting my self out there for criticism, but when news is far from each other, gotta have a little fun. But this one, I'll admit, is kinda new and from left field. Because instead of theorizing about the lore and all that surrounds BabyMetal, why dont I describe a perfect concert! Now I wont go in depth of set list, I'll let you all have that thought, but more along how the show could play out.
I've struggled thinking about how this dream of a concert could go, prolly what Koba is or has been doing, and now I'll give you my great idea. But one thing is different, I'm gonna give you that concert in your imagination, because it's the only way I can. Trust me, I tried to draw this out, and I'm completely inferior to the art that has been shown on this Reddit, which I'm so blown away by.
One last note before I give your brain a wild ride. All we know so far is that cryptic tweet that Baby Metal sent out right at Japans New Year. So with that being said, enjoy.
Setting - Saitama Super Arena Date - 1st of April Name - BABYMETAL - ODESSY EPISODE 8: METAL GALAXY Sold Out
The lights go dark, and the crowd erupts. A space themed metal melody starts to play. As a video start to play on what looks like the faces of a pyramid, only two faces.
"The Metal Galaxy, home to all of metal. Home to Baby Metal. Home to the Fox God. And home to The One. Home if the Chosen Seven. For now, Baby Metal's journey on Earth is over. It's in the Dark. But the Light will return. The Fox God came, and took Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, and Yui-Metal aboard the Metal Ark El Do Ra Do (the complete stage looks exactly like their ESP guitar in shape, the neck goes in to the crowd, and its lined by LED strips which light up at this point) The Fox God said 'Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, you must continue on with the Metal Resistance. The Fox God is always with You.' (Narration Continues) As BabyMetals journey continues towards the Metal Galaxy, what new Odyssey is in store for the Destinies? [A graphic flashes the title of the show BABYMETAL - ODESSY EPISODE 8: METAL GALAXY]
The video fades, and a few seconds later music starts to play that has sounds of a space ship in it. The arena is lit up and you can see the full extent of the stage design. With the body of the BabyMetal ESP as the main stage. The V in the body makes up for the edges of the 2 triangular screens that makes 2 faces of a pyramid. The neck divides the floor in half, and the head of it is the B stage. Lights border the entire stage. The Kamis have the typical 4 member setup, Takayoshi and BOH on the left and Hideki and Isao on the right. It's just another impressive stage by BabyMetal.
After about a minute, fog starts rolling on stage and hissing and sounds of air escaping (idk really how to describe these sounds) and a bassy boom and the pyramid screens begin to separate as a bright light comes on. And out comes SuMetal and MoaMetal dressed similar to there 2017 outfits but with a better style, and no not in a space suit style either. The long hair is back and a new mask/helmet.
They walk out to a thunderous applause. Su and Moa are side by side. The pyramid screen closes, as In The Name Of plays. The spectacle has started.
4 songs after In The Name Of, another video begins to play. The voice of the narrator is similar to Darth Vader.
"With the Fox God sending YuiMetal on a personal mission, after healing, he sends MoaMetal on her own. Fox God says, 'Black BabyMetal must continue on as One. But alone, you will not be forever.' As MoaMetal charts a new path, she developes a warrior spirit. As Black BabyMetal 4ges on, how long is not forever?" The crowd cheers loudly.
GJ starts with its intro and the crowd claps along. And the song and lights come up it's just Moa at the B stage. She has the crowd in her hands as she performs GJ.
The song ends and the crowd gives Moa an enormous cheer. "Shh...shh..shh...shh..." as the crowd chants along with it and goes 'YON YON.' This goes on for almost a minute before the Kamis shred in to the song. Moa is now on the main stage as the lights come up. But once Moa starts the first verse, the audio from the Kamis gets all messed up and goes quiet. Moa looks panicked and the Kamis start looking around at each other. The crowd is confused.
Fog starts coming from the screen as that same loud metal door opening plays over the audio. The screens separate and bright lights conceal what is happening. By this time, Moa with two Kamis on either side of her are looking at what is happening. After the screens are far enough apart, out comes the statuesque of a human with a fox head. It is standing over 35 ft tall. Lights illuminate it, and as that happens the Kamis fall to a knee, Moa goes on to both knees, as they bow to it. Many in the crowd start too.
Music similar to the opening of Legend S Baptism XX plays soft enough as the figure speaks, its mouth moves, and its eyes also move. "My Metal Gods, accept my apology for interfering with your music. Please stand, and know that 'Little God' [A light shines where Mikio, now Takayoshi, plays, the crowd cheers] and I are always with you. You may go back to your insturments." The Kamis stand up, bow, and head back to there areas.
"MoaMetal, my Goddess of Love, Scream and Dance, and of Black BabyMetal. I said you would not be alone forever. As YuiMetal is still doing my Mission, I have decided that now is the time, better then any other time. Specially here on El Do Ra Do, and in front of The One. The Chosen Seven were Godesses just like you, from other realms of the Metal Universe. The Chosen Seven were sent back to their home Metal Galaxy's except for one." MoaMetal is still on her knees bowing to the Fox God.
"MoaMetal, please stand." The music intensity increases. MoaMetal stands. Fog is rolling over the complete stage. A hissing sound starts, as CO2 starts spraying out of what appears to be a Red Casket, exactly the same shape of what BabyMetal has used in videos for introductions before, slowly lowers in front of the Fox God.
"Tonight, a new Destinity is born. And her tale will live on forever." The Casket rests on the stage at this point. "The One, MoaMetal, I give you, SAYA METAL." SayaMetal opens the Casket lid and walks out to a thunderous ovation. She has the same look as MoaMetal, minus the weird eye makeup.
SayaMetal walks towards MoaMetal and bows towards her. Moa returns the bow. And they hug. The crowd erupts again. The Fox God continues, "From now on, You two will be Black BabyMetal. The Trinity is reformed. A New Trilogy is soon to come. And BabyMetal is One again. The Light awaits!" The Fox God arm moves up ward showing a Kitsune, and pyro pops off. 4 no Uta, Song 4, plays, and Moa snd Saya adorably spin around and go right in to it. And for the first time we hear SayaMetal sing. There is no call back portion during this song on this night.
By the time SuMetal comes out for her 2 solo songs, Akatsuki and Tattoo, the screens are back together and the Fox God is gone. After SuMetal solos are done, Karate plays and finally the three are officially on stage together.
Late in to the show a video plays. It explains the reasons on why BabyMetal was in a Dark era. And how they have been pushing through it.
After the video, the third to last song is something special. A piano plays, as there is a red glow in the arena and you can see the three on the B stage, head of the guitar. And the song is recognized as From Dusk to Dawn. This version is a little different, as it is drawn out in one part. After the 'Break' the Kamis perform this part of the song as a extended version, as Su, Moa and Saya walk back towards the main stage. 3 separate trusses, each shaped in a triangle, lower down, with lights all on them. Then Su sings the next part "All it's over, Never rule her, All it's over, Never rule her." And simultaneously, lights switch from blue to white, the three of them rip off the blsck outfit to reveal a white outfit with gold trim similar to the black one. Babymetsl is in the Light side.
A new song plays. Then the final song is The ONE. As the piano plays the introduction, the screen opens up and the Fox God comes out again. Its arm rises up to show the Kitsune Sign. And The ONE starts. It's the English/Japanese version. The women are back on the B stage when the song starts. But make there way towards the main stage for the end.
"We Are..." is brought back. And the women go all around the stage to do it. The finale is a pyro blast that rocks everyone's ears. The woman are gone and a lone light shines on the Fox God with his Kitsune sign in the air still, but lowers. Then the screens close around him as the outro video plays. It closes out by showing and announcing the World Tour Dates, which are in Arenas across the world. There are stops in Australia, The UK, Europe, North and South America, and Japan. With the Trilogy-Tour Final announced for the 3 Domes in Japan.
The arena lights come on and the show officially has ended.
Time- 2 hours and 5 mins
Thanks for reading!!! I know this is super crazy and far out there. But I think this show would go down as one of the best ever. I know I kinda slacked on the two "Videos" towards the end of the show. Because they can could go a number of ways, and wanted you to visualize it.
Hope I made you get some goose bumps. And heck if you're an artist, draw out what you think you see and feel. Would love too see some of the interpretations!
Till next time Kitsunes!!! ScOmetal
