She’s been waiting YEARS for this moment#babymetal #moametal #sumetal #kawaiimetal #ベビーメタル
形のよう忘れはしない。 なやつはここから の黒髪を彼にし この花ははなく消
Something magical went down when Moametal—the ever-engaging Moa Kikuchi—stepped into the spotlight to lead “Headbanger!!” live for the very first time. It happened during the “Legend M” concert in Nagoya, her hometown, in celebration of her 20th birthday. The stage opened with familiar power, but when Moa took the mic and sang the latter half of the song, the crowd lost it—something extra special woke up in the performance.
Fans still talk about it like it was yesterday. On Reddit, one user captured the collective excitement perfectly:
“This was at a concert in Moa’s hometown Nagoya for her 20th birthday. Hence everyone going crazy when she steps up to take the mic m/.”
It wasn’t just the hometown energy—it was the sheer thrill Moa brought to that moment. In her own words, she describes the experience as nothing short of exhilarating:
“Taking over the mic and singing Headbanger was pure fun! That moment when I stood in the center and held the microphone was… absolutely thrilling (laughs).”

Couldnt they just leave the cover up? Lmao
Moa is my favorite, for some reason.
Wowowowo
Why did it say は instead of わ😢
ここにいたなー
Absolutely stunning
❤❤❤❤
Powerful and adorable at the same time ❤❤❤❤
The metal head and the anime nerd communities overlap enough she will always belong somewhere ❤❤
So which is the fake microphone?
Much better live vocals than 90% of singers
That smile 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
最愛ちゃん可愛い
「伝説の黒髪を・・・」
嘘は良くない(笑)(^-^;
別に良いけど(*´ω`)(*´ω`)

I went to a Babymetal concert this year, it was amazing! Great vocals, insane staging, friendly crowd ❤
大きくなったね、大阪サマソニでしか見てないけど。
MOAの可愛さはメジャーなアイドルに引けを取らない🎉
Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a gorgeous voice. Each lady has brought something special with their presence and voices.
Moa dimples!!! 😆 最愛
omg
👌❤👌
久しぶりに見たけど、本当に大人になったなぁ。
I missed that before, they changed the "ichigono yoru wo" to "hatachino yoru wo". From night of 15 to night of 20 (years old).
all 3 are awesome !
MOA版ギャー❤
i Wish Moa would sing more. her voice is so beautiful.

Moa!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know the language at all but this is good music😊
The entire genre is based on cartoon intros. That's not how it works. It's the other way around.
I know that Momo getting her moment in this song is colossal. But Moa's smile at the end of shi-nai captivates the entire crowd. You can tell that she is loving it. That is what makes the moment.
Years? She does that from time to time in the classic babymetal era
Why'd this make me tear up after reading the backstory? It's amazing
Babymetal's fans asked for more Momo and they delivered… we've been asking for more Moa since Moabanger and nothing…..
Thing with metal music is, you could be some days before your death of old age and still singing live.
Let alone just turning 20 or 30
歌も上手いんです!、
You can't just cut out the "ki e ro!" That's criminal!
Song name?
How do you know it?
