Is the text in the awards and nominations section really necessary? It really only repeats some of the stuff you see down in the info box. ReDead ( talk) 23:20, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
Idol is a genre (a classification of music). This is what the sources report. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. It is interesting to observe that those Wikipedia editors who keep on deleting the word "idol" from the genre section, are people from non-Asian countries. In Japan, the second largest music industry of the world, Idol is a musical genre. The content of Wikipedia articles "is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors".. There are loads of published information from reliable sources which clearly categorize the word idol as a genre. Please note, that idol refers to both a genre and to the people practising that genre. In addition to this, most reliable sources write about Babymetal being part of the idol genre (e.g. check this latest article defining Babymetal to be "a union of Japanese idol music and thundering heavy metal"). Because of Wikipedia's core content policy of Verifiability the word idol will remain in the genre section of the infobox. Wikipedia is not about what YOU think or what YOU are used to. It's about Verifiability. Thank you. 93.135.225.239 ( talk) 10:45, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
I was at the show and that incident as described didn't happen, to my knowledge.

Is there any source for this? 162.198.2.1 ( talk) 03:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Is there any word on critical reception on the girls, their band, the Music, Text, Videos, Live Shows? For example "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" probably did not go unnoticed and my guess is, it received quite some acclaim. On the other hand we see the typical profiteering in the idol-industry, like the abundance of only slightly different "limited editions" to make the fans buy the same stuff over and over again.

I know it's sourced but if we can reach a consensus on removing death metal then we can because, alternative metal and power metal can be argued, but I can see no argument at all for death metal legitimately being one of their genres. Issan Sumisu ( talk) 11:42, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
I could make this change myself but someone will probably revert it without discussion. See Template:Infobox musical artist, section 2.25, on the Associated Acts field. That field is for other acts with the same members, spin-offs, etc. so Sakura Gakuin and Karen Girl's definitely apply. However, that field should not include DragonForce and Rob Halford. The Template says that the Associated Acts field should NOT be used for "One-time collaboration for a single song" or "Groups that have played or toured together as separate acts." Babymetal's collaborations with DragonForce and Rob Halford can be (and already are) discussed in the History section and do not belong in the Associated Acts field. If there are no comments within a few days I will make the change myself, or someone else can do it. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( Talk| Contribs) 14:53, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi everyone. For years now I've been wanting to add back some details of the band's formation removed by Drmies back in 2016 (in these edits: [12], [13]), but I don't know when I will get to it. (Yes, it has been over two years and I still remember about it. Cause I think the article lost some essential information.)
Would someone please be so kind and rewrite the removed parts in a more encyclopedic fashion and add them back? Cause I really don't know when I will be able to get to this myself. -- Moscow Connection ( talk) 09:59, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
KOBAMETAL:BABYMETALは、さくら学院の重音部という位置付けだが、企画自体はメインボーカルのSU-METAL(中元すず香)が所属していた「可憐Girls」が09年に解散となった辺りから構想していた。
SU-METALを中心としてメンバーを探したが、彼女が独特な存在感を持っているので、まったく別のキャラクターを加えるのがいいのではという結論に至った。そこで、SU-METALの周りを天使のような子たちが踊っているのはどうだろうと、YUIMETAL(水野由結)とMOAMETAL(菊地最愛)に参加してもらうことになった。

I don't think that's correct. According to this interview, Koba wanted to start Babymetal before he found Suzuka, not the other way around:
"I wanted to produce from scratch, find the talented, train and promote them. . . . Then I started to find someone" (emphasis added). Nabuking ( talk) 15:46, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Granted, the translation of that interview is poor. But that quote is Koba's response when asked how he "began Babymetal." As you point out, the Nikkei Trendy interview only says Koba had the idea for Babymetal around the time Karen Girl's disbanded [16]. So, although Koba created aspects of Babymetal around Suzuka, like adding Yui and Moa for contrast, she wasn't the initial inspiration for the band, but someone who fit his ideas for the project. At least according to available sources. Nabuking ( talk) 18:13, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

It seems that Babymetal is using a different set of musicians in the Kami Band for their US Tour.
As they've performed the first three shows of this tour, I think it's safe to say they will be here for at least the majority of the tour.
I added these people to the "Kami Band" section as a quick revision, but my revision was undone.
It's very difficult to get official sources on who these members are, as the band says they are kami sent down by the Fox God (hence the name Kami Band) and it's part of the agreement that the musicians don't talk about it, but they have been identified by fans. Source: https://www.babymetalnews.com/2019/09/06/the-4-new-kami-band-members-identities-have-been-discovered/
I didn't include sources in my edit as I did it quite quickly (my bad), but now thought I would ask the question as to how we should go about this.
If they are only for this tour, should they be included in the main Kami Band section, which consists of people who have been on numerous tours and shows? If they are included in the Other Musicians section it seems like they arent current, which they are. How should we include them? Thegreentimtam ( talk) 03:15, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
None of those musicians were in studio - they are all "Kami Band". Although I question the inclusion of Hidefumi Usami (who I would consider part of the sound/tech crew) and Shuki Maeta (who played at a shareholders meeting, not a public performance).
Also worth noting that none of the citations for the Kami Band members at the moment are very concrete, even the long term members. A couple of cryptic tweets, and a Huffington Post article that talks about the writers "ideal lineup" for the band...
I disagree about removing the "Other Musicians" section. I think its a good reference, and is consistent with other pages, which typically have "Current Members", "Past Members", "Current Touring musicians" and "Former Touring musicians" sections. I see the Babymetal sections as equivalent (which is why I originally put the US Touring Musicians in the Kami Band section - they are "Current Touring musicians"). Backup dancers are just as important to Babymetal shows as touring musicians, so I think their inclusion is warranted as well. Thegreentimtam ( talk) 03:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
I was considering adding a reception section covering how the media and people have covered Babymetal within and outside of Japan. I would probably rework a chunk of the Legacy section into this, any thoughts? I already have a dozen or so sources to cover this. KittehWarlord ( talk) 21:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Despite BM's origins being the idol industry, they are currently not an idol group. They perform at metal and rock festivals, they get interviewed by magazines focusing on the metal genre, they cater almost exclusively to a metal audience, and their albums are included in rock/metal charts. The openers for their shows both domestically and internationally are all from the rock or metal genre. Conversely, they have almost no interaction with the Japanese idol industry anymore. And even if Japan still considers them an idol group, the band themselves operates globally and they are considered a metal band by virtually every major media outlet outside of Japan. DragonFury ( talk) 11:00, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Look at your wester deffinition and differences between a boys/girls band and a rock/metal band. Read it and think for yourself if you can. You don't like the idol group terminollogy,fine then use your own labels for them:girls band!
"They’re usually auditioned rather than generated organically. Boy/Girl Bands often come about because a producer or executive needs a boy/girl band so they hold auditions for young artists who are chosen on their looks as much as their musical ability.
They have no control over their own musical direction. Their music is written by professional songwriters, the instruments are played by sessions musicians and producers make all the decisions.
They have stylists and choreographers who control their look and image.
A band like Metallica doesn’t fulfill those criteria . They write their own music and control their production and image. They were formed by people who wanted to play together and then found a manager rather than the other way around." Errorys123 ( talk) 16:51, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
I don't think they can be called an "idol group" even in Japan. I think they are called an "idol unit". That's what these small subgroups of large idol groups are called. (Yes, I know they aren't a subgroup of Sakura Gakuin anymore. But still, an idol group is typically a large group with many members.) -- Moscow Connection ( talk) 23:04, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
This is a little WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but I snooped around some J-Pop articles and even some that are firmly idols (even high quality articles) use "band" interchangeably with "group" or "unit".- Purplewowies ( talk) 03:56, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
I don't know how did you even got in the position of tolking about this subject,when obviously, you don't know much obout it,and only accept what fits in your book. Idol groups have from 2 to 100s members,there are even solo idols. Is not a rule about how many members they have to be an idol group. Idol group means that the members just sing and dance,and that is all. The genre of music,the number of members,how they promote ,have nothing to do with this.
From all the idol groups i follow and all the wiki i readed about them,this,the Babymetal one is cringe,subjectiv,full of misliding,own interpretation and have close to zero respect for Japanese culture. Strongwhite ( talk) 10:49, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

As of right this minute, the article is in "Start" mode and has the potential to get much bigger. Thanks! --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 21:42, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
