I remember the day when heavy metal idols went to London and played a venue that most English bands only dream of making it to. DaeMetal’s report was a great view from the fan’s side, and now here’s a chance to see the show for yourself.
Babymetal. Wembley Arena. Pro-shot broadcast on Japanese TV. Enjoy.

shame it didn’t sound like that when I was actually there. the audio was terrible at the sse arena could hardly hear the guitars the bass was way to loud then disappeared entirely, su’s mic was turnt up and down through out the night and moi moi were virtually inaudible for the entire show. the sound engineers should have been shot for that gig, I managed to enjoy myself none the less but the sound was better at download and reading which is saying something, considering they basically had like half hour to sound check and prepare before each gig and the sse they had the whole day and still got it so wrong.
How twisted would it be if the reason for the poor live quality was that they had everything calibrated to sound as best as possible for the inevitable WOWOW broadcast? I know that’s not how it works, but still, it does serve to anger up the blood.
If it isn’t how it works how does it serve to anger up the blood?
Because if you think it’s real, you can still get all ginned up about it. Just like politics!
Silly goose!
All art, no science. Professional sound-staging sucks in general. Build for capacity, not acoustics. Meh. One meter between bliss and blah. I was able to tweak the audio on this for my admittedly douchy preferences.
OTH, Red Night Budokan overall, sounds better to my ears than many tracks on either BM album (but no better than other live-metal standards) cultural audio preconceptions, maybe?
I can and usually do tweak audio stuff to my own liking. Presets,earbuds, built-in Spkrs, bluetooth anything have always been disappointing in my experience…
good find. Too much chaff out there, ATM.
