I cannot count how many times I've heard the sentiment "without the Kami's, there is no Babymetal"...... and it's become the complaint of preference for 2019 - "Where are the Kami solo's and why the Kami masks?"
So I ask the question of everyone who feels the Kami's are integral to Babymetal, deserving of more attention than they get..... Did you buy the Ohmura "Metal Inititian" DVD? The two disk DVD, one of which features Mikio on each song with a camera basically focused on him for the duration.... with all the proceeds going to Mikio's family?

This is an opportunity to actually do something in direct support of the Kami family. The product, for me, was secondary. It was an opportunity for me to put my money where my mouth is, directly supporting the Kamis and more importantly, demonstrating that the Babymetal family remains behind them and most importantly, behind their efforts to take care of Mikio's family.
But the product itself? Hell man, if you want to see the Kami band in all out freedom on stage, this is the DVD. Disk 2 especially. The solo battles between Ohmura and Mikio are epic. The non-verbal, almost psychic musical connection between them is unreal. I never knew how close they really were until I saw this. There is a moment during the performance where they have been trading leads, it's Ohmura's turn, and it's basically moved into improve at this point, they are standing side by side and as Ohmura is shredding, Mikio starts focusing on Ohmura's fret hand (intensively staring). I'm thinking? What is he doing? Then Ohmura slides out of the lead into a finger exercise type riff (think Thunderstruck) and Mikio follows him seamlessly. He knew Ohmura so well that he could tell what he was going to do, before he did it, just by watching his fingers. How the hell the rest of the band followed them, I have no clue.
As product goes, this is 2 hours of the Kamis, unmasked, at their loosest and most shredding self. If you are a fan of the Kami's, this is a required purchase. Hell man, Hill of Wisteria on disk 2 alone is worth the price....and whatever that song was with"Thuderstruck"-on-steroids-finger-exercise-riff just makes it worth twice the price... and the fact all proceeds support Mikio's family makes it priceless.
It does not ship directly so it will require use of a Proxy Service. Tenso works well for me.
For those unaware, this is a memorial show for one of BABYMETAL's most prominent guitar Kami Band members, Mikio Fujioka, who passed away on January 5th, 2018 after being in the hospital since December 30, 2017, when he fell from a high observation deck while stargazing. This show is on his 3rd birthday since then.
His last show was with Gacharic Spin and Ohmura Band for Ohmura's birthday show on December 26th (video they released from the event). His last show with BABYMETAL was LEGEND S, on December 2nd and 3rd.
Multiple memorial shows/DVD's/Magazines have been released for Mikio, I listed them at the bottom.
