Babymetal signed a US record deal

Babymetal just signed a US record deal with RAL/Sony Music. Babymetal's self titled album will be reissued in the US and will include two bonus tracks on June 16. It will also be available digitally on May 12. According to Bill Richards, VP of Marketing for RAL/Sony Music says, “After witnessing the band’s sold-out New York show, we knew we wanted to be involved. The core metal fans and metal press seem to get BabyMetal, which shows how the language of music transcends boundaries. They hit all the entertainment buttons and are really fun to watch.”

The details of their deal with Sony was not revealed. It is quite known that Sony Music Label have ridiculous album deals like the one they gave to Unlocking The Truth where they are required to sell 75k albums just to get a percentage of their 1 million dollar deal. The two bonus tracks included were not specified but there are speculations that it will Road of Resistance and their new song: Bubble Dreamer(tentative title)...or it may be some of Babymetal's cover songs performed during their concerts.

Hopefully, Amuse Inc. and Kobametal will still be in full control of the music production and that this deal will help propel Babymetal to greater heights.

Babymetal speaking in English?

The girls surprised everyone when they spoke in English in their Babymetal promo video for their May 9 concert in Mexico. They are not really that fluent yet but this is a good start for them. It seems like Amuse Inc. is training them to be fluent in English in order to expand their target audience. Even Yuimetal has expressed her interest to learn English several times so she can meet her favorite singer Ariana Grande.

Babymetal signed under earMUSIC?

earMUSIC just posted this pic in their official instagram account. They have been rumored to have signed a contract with Amuse Inc. to distribute Babymetal albums in Europe. Dragonforce is also being distributed by earMUSIC in Europe so this may have influenced Kobametal and the executives at Amuse to sign with them. This deal will definitely help promote Babymetal and give fans an easier access to buy their CDs. Hopefully, Amuse Inc. will find a good record label in the USA soon.

Final Diary: Sakura Gakuin Students' Diary 20150405 Moa

Title: Kikuchi Moa

It's Kikuci Moa.

I graduated from Sakura Gakuin at the graduation ceremony on March 29.
Thank you very much.:)♥

I am blessed with so many people having seen us off!
The graduation concert lasted three hours -- longer than usual, but it seemed like a blink. I felt like singing and dancing as long as possible, as far as my strength lasts♫ I hoped to play every one of Sakura songs.
I love Sakura Gakuin❤ I have, and always will.

And that's true for every one of graduates. Every graduate loves Sakura Gakuin from her heart, in her way. We had been Sakura Gakuin students♪ We can't help loving Sakura Gakuin!!! And I hope every student following us will keep the same mind.

I think this 'Love' to Sakura Gakuin is the most important thing which we should keep in mind, we should send to younger generation.

'Love' is mysterious, isn't it? Sometimes I feel I can't love more! ...and then, find myself loving deeper. There is no limit. My love grow bigger and deeper❤❤

Now I've graduated from Sakura Gakuin, and my love to Sakura Gakuin is still growing up. Maybe my senpais also feel the same! I love Sakura Gakuin this much, but I must graduate from it. I love Sakura Gakuin this much, therefore I must graduate from it. Now I can realize the meaning of graduation.
Every year, there is a parting and a meeting in Sakura Gakuin. Every time we experience it, new Sakura Gakuin begins!

Our school regulations says 'Put your love' and 'Send your love'. Every year, we receive senpais' love, and on the basis of the love, we create new Sakura Gakuin!! Graduates sometimes say 'I want to go back to those days, but I can't go back to current Sakura Gakuin'. That's because Sakura Gakuin is renewed every year.

In 2015nendo, there will be a new Sakura Gakuin which only 2015nendo members can create. Please find your own color of 2015nendo. Moa is always on your side.
So, Fukei-sans, Moa want to ask you.

From now, Sakura Gakuin current members start struggling to find their own Sakura Gakuin. Please not compare them with former Sakura Gakuin. Please not compare with other Idol groups. Sakura Gakuin is Sakura Gakuin! 2015 nendo is 2015nendo!!! I hope you to watch over them gently.
I'm sorry for my asking when I have to express my gratitude. But I trust your love to Sakura Gakuin.
And...thank you for your love you have given to me.

I'd like to express my gratitude to each Fukei-san in person, but it's impossible wish. So I thank you here, and will express my gratitude by doing my best in future activities.
I have been so happy to have met Sakura gakuin, to have met you. I'll cherish this meeting forever and ever!

Thank you very much.

Sakura Gakuin is the best!!!!!

Babymetal's New Song? Bubble Dreamer

Bubble Dreamer is still a tentative title just like when Road of Resistance was called "The One" by fans. Japanese fans call it あわだまフィーバー. The song was performed several times in Japan and recently during their concert in Saitama Super Arena. Wowow, didn't include it in their broadcast of concert which is quite unfortunate since fans really wanted to hear the song. 

A Japanese fan was able to get an audio clip of the song and it is the clearest version found in the web. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2g1m5z

The song in itself is like a combination of Gimme Choco's frenetic pace and the beat of Catch Me If You Can. Hopefully, Amuse will release a music video as soon as possible.

Final Diary: Sakura Gakuin Students' Diary 20150404 Yui

Title: Mizuno Yui

Hello♪ It's Yui✿ I graduated from Sakura Gakuin on March 29 and this is my very last diary post.

It's been 5 years since Sakura gakuin was founded. Moa and Yui have seen everything☆

From one year before the foundation, every month we had an audition-with-lesson. Every time, we had to perform a set song and a free program. Elementary schooler Yui tried her best dreaming a day to perform on a stage with other members. It had been really tough!

When I was chosen as a member, and when the name of our group was decided to 'Sakura Gakuin', I felt like I was in heaven. XD Once we made a presentation to a record company and failed. We realized a severe reality and knew we must improve much more. That is why we felt so pleased when our debut with 'Yumeni Mukatte' was fixed, and when we played at TIF for the very first time. I'll never forget the happy moment☆ I have learned so many things in Sakura Gakuin.

I have seen seniors graduate every year, and finally, my turn to graduate has come. It's really sad, but I know Rinon, Saki, (Shirai)Saki-chan, Aiko, Sara and Megu together with new transfer-ins surely will succeed Yui's mind, the mind of all graduates. Yui shall keep sending my power to Sakura Gakuin forever. Yui shall keep watching you. In hard times, feel free to consult me, depend on me✿

Every graduate has been kindly taking care of us, cheering us up, and protecting us. From now on, Yui want to be a good graduate like them✿

Moa, Hana and Yunano...it was really fun to have a casual talk with you♪ We now start new life toward our respective dream. Let's make our dreams come true☆

Principal Kuramoto-sensei has made us experience several things, let us improve ourselves. Thanks to Mori-sensei's help, Yui could express myself fully -- I had been so timid burdened with 'senior's responsibility'. Teachers gave me advices and set the best circumstance for us☆ Mikiko-sensei, Kazune-sensei, Yuka-sensei, Yako-sensei and all people who has concerned to Sakura gakuin...I'm full of gratitude to you for everything♡♡

And...every one of Fukei-sans. Thank you for your sending power to me as if you were my real father or mother! Recently, I'm glad to see suprisingly many audience to the concert or comments to this diary from abroad. I could overcome everything because of Fukei-sans☆ I'm heartily, truly thankful to you. Please keep supporting my beloved Sakura Gakuin. :)

With a never-diminishing bond I shared with Sakura Gakuin members, I'll keep going toward Mizuno Yui's dream and YUIMETAL's dream.

Thank you very very much for your support in these five years. I'm proud of having been a member of Sakura Gakuin.

Even if we are separated, our hearts is one.
And even if I graduated, our hearts is one.

I LOVE Sakura Gakuin

2014nendo graduate, Mizuno Yui.

Ｙｕｉ
