The Blu-ray itself is bare-bones but the two concerts are so worth it!

It was surprisingly easy to order on Amazon, just by choosing the site's own link to view in it English. The only potentially tricky part (if you didn't notice the option) is to make sure to chose the international shipping address. When it did ship I was notified, I was able to get the DHL tracking number from my Amazon account, and then have DHL send me shipping progress updates through the DHL site.

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?

Metal Initiation - Amazon.co.jp

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.

I've tried several of the more expensive brands but for my money Mack's acoustic foam earplugs are the best for the money. They are like regular foam earplugs (which block out too much sound) but have holes that allow sound in, and they are about 6 bucks vs up to 25 or so for the other brands. I always take a couple of pairs since it's easy to drop earplugs in all the excitement of a show and they are difficult to recover. But whatever, do use earplugs. The Macks seem to be available mainly on the secondary market, listed on Amazon and ebay:

https://www.amazon.com/Macks-967-Acoustic-Foam-Plugs/dp/B00FH22N6A/ref=sr_1_58?crid=1HXUFJ178QI81&keywords=macks+earplugs&qid=1570456129&sprefix=macks%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-58

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Macks-Acoustic-Foam-Noise-Reduction-earplugs-for-Concerts-Musicians-20dB/264184870241?epid=1409163416&hash=item3d82a53561:g:340AAOSwWOxbx-9i

I recently bought these one https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00MEE876O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pretty comfortable, I used them last time to the "Light this city" band concert (so pretty heavy music) with the low filter and it was a great experience.

Hi yunoo! As a first time metal concert goer I think it's important to let you know that metal concerts are LOUD! So loud that they can induce temporary and/or permanent hearing damage. I highly recommend some musician grade ear protection. I use these but they don't have to be these, just something like them:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MEE876O/

They don't muffle the sound, it's just like turning down the volume. Have fun at the show!

For anyone interested in the frames, I just got some cheap ones on Amazon, but I'm actually pretty happy with how they look.

You can find them here

NOTE: These frames do require decapitating your magazine, since they're for a sheet or two of paper, not an entire magazine.

In your case I would choose the shop that will give you the lowest overall cost and which will offer the shipping method to your liking. I have ordered stuff at all three shops in the past, and they're all very reliable.

A little comparison:

• CDJapan and HMV both have full sites in English, Amazon has a button which gives you the most important information in English
  
• Amazon is often the cheapest
  
• Amazon and HMV ship to overseas locations with express courier, I think DHL and FedEx respectively, CDJapan has more choice in cheaper shipping options, i.e. normal Airmail
  
• Amazon has a global service where the shipper handles customs for you.
  
  For this particular blu-ray I chose for Amazon, as it gave me the lowest overall cost by far. Also I often shop at Amazon.co.uk and amazon.com as well so I already had the account.
  
  To make it easier for you here are direct links to the blu-ray at all three shops:

  http://www.amazon.co.jp/LIVE-LEGEND-1999-APOCALYPSE-Blu-ray/dp/B00MRYOO5E

I don't know if it has been released in the west, but you can get it from the Japanese amazon (for Japanese blu-ray prices...)

https://www.amazon.co.jp/LIVE-LEGEND-1999-APOCALYPSE-Blu-ray/dp/B00MRYOO5E/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497271225&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=babymetal+legend+1997

At the bottom of the page you can switch the entire site to english to make ordering easier =)

Those aren't great, but are better than nothing.
I've been happy with these, although you can definitely get a set that's better quality, if usually more expensive.

This is for a physical disc -- great for displaying!

The Amazon purchase should also include the mp3 downloads for free.

METAL RESISTANCE is currently $5.99

Best advice ever. I bought these and they work wonderfully.

I use these LiveMus!c earplugs. Works great and very comfortable.

IDZ BR is awesome :)

Kimi to Anime ga Mitai has it's own single and it's still available in stores, but the live versions are way better. Otherwise, just rip the BR and convert to music.

YES to London! That and Budokan are must haves due to their ease of availability and overall low price.

You're gonna have to venture over to amazon.jp or cdjapan.jp for the rest.

Legend I,D,Z

Legend 97, 99

Wembley

Tokyo Dome

Metal Resistance Limited Edition CD/DVD. DVD comes with METROCK 2015 festival performance, serious knock your socks off concert!!

That's about it for stuff that can be had easily and without coma inducing sticker shock.

I had never used earplugs before the Vegas show but I got these and they were amazing, sounded so much better, no headache after. I highly recommend these. I bought the connector cord also so I dont have to worry about them falling out.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019M576XW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Metal Resistance from amazon.com. But, maybe you could check with your local Amazon store domain if there is one, as e.g. on amazon.co.uk you will see this: "Price: £9.99 & FREE UK Delivery on orders dispatched by Amazon over £20."

Yeah, was sorry to read that in your thread.
Luckily mine turned up in the UK unharmed from Amazon US.
I got Su/Yui from one seller and Moa from another, cost me £117.00 including postage.

Might also be worth ordering Yui/Moa from Amazon UK here for £12.99 each (just in case they do find some from somewhere, will only be charged when/if dispatched):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Babymetal-5978-Yuimetal/dp/B0032RUUEY

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Babymetal-5979-Moametal/dp/B016YXWDQ0/

I'd buy the Blu ray honestly, I'm not sure if you can have US amazon shipped to your location, but it's on sale for $22.99 USD right now.

Edit: Live in london is also pretty cheap.

https://amzn.com/B0153YEV84
https://amzn.com/B0153YET5O

i got both mine from Amazon US. When I bought them Budokan was on back order as well, but it only took like a week. They are both reasonable in price too.

Edit: I ended up with the exact same German versions buying it from Amazon US BTW.

Looks like GMB Chomichuk is at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo - C2E2 this weekend, in case anyone is heading that way.

Perhaps one of the Chosen Seven is there watching to make sure he doesn't reveal any of the Fox God's secrets.

Edit: The pre-order at Amazon US is at 21.10 currently. They have the pre-order guarantee. For those that don't know they charge you the lowest price listed from the time you pre-order until the time it ships.

Yo, Amazon.com just sent me an email and they have the Vinyl version of the English/ International release. So if you are looking to save some money if you are outside EU, go there

Quick Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BTMJ03U?qid=1457600025&ref_=tmm_acd_swatch_0&sr=8-1 Make sure to select the Vinyl Option.

You can buy the Funkos on Amazon, so no, not that rare :P

Although Moametal is way more expensive than Su or Yui...

As for other merch, there are the The One editions for shirts, cd's etc, which are rarer than the regular ones.

However the rarest are signed items. IIRC they have done exactly ONE signing event, I think it might've been 2012, Singapore? Also there were signed copies of Metal Resistance at some festival in the States a couples of years ago. That's about it. So those would be the rarest I guess.

Definitely. I bought these and they've worked well

Indeed, everyone should try to see what fan get togethers are going down. Either check the organizational mega thread on Reddit, or #meetups on discord.

I purchased these earplugs for the shows. I used them for Judas Priest and they worked great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019M576XW/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_rt93AbYER385N

Legend 1997/9 is gonna be cheaper than IDZ.

edit, actually amazon have IDZ for a good price at the moment http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00FB6FT4U/ref=pe_511552_210756982_em_4p_0_im

Not sure if I found the thread I was remembering, or maybe it was a mashed together memory of threads, but you could read some of the more general comments here https://www.reddit.com/r/BABYMETAL/comments/d2yb5l/newish_fan_what_to_expect_at_the_live/
Otherwise, doing some general searches about first shows, what to expect, etc. will give you a decent picture!

As for earplugs, anything by Etymotics, like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015WJQ7A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ekLEDbPTN2P6Y are probably a decent bet.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also, Budokan Blu-ray is only £13.99. Shipping is exactly the same as the CD.

Headphones unfortunatly muffles the sound, you'll want instead something like Eargasm or HearSafe

They'll reduce volume by about 30db while retaining sound quality

BTW: There are special earplugs that are adjustable through different inserts. Using them for years now: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alpine-MusicSafe-Filter-Plugs-Musicians/dp/B00MEE876O/

Its legend 1997, if you want to buy it, it's on amazon but it's quite expensive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MRYOO5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_rsxaCbN1HFWD6


If you just want to watch it look for it on the proshot spreadsheet, its there along with most other babymetal concerts ever recorded and relased: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lDQ-B7yWYl6XxO8LZg4zWMYjXgapr2j8rmC19MZTsmY/htmlview#gid=1038510118

The date and venue is 2013-12-21 Makuhari Messe event hall

Just preordered on Amazon. Still can’t find it?
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1940878217/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4E6WAb5M6BMTC

Nope, the 30th. Here’s the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Apocrypha-BABYMETAL-Prophet-Fox-God/dp/1940878217

Amazon US link

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/1940878217/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's on there now mate.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1940878217

$30? 6296 yen = $57.64 plus extra for US shipping. DO you have a link for $30 BLU ray?

https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00FB6FT4U/ref=sr_1_8?crid=1SL2F8PQGXMJZ&keywords=babymetal+blu-ray&qid=1572983776&refinements=p_n_srvg_2374648051%3A622812011&rnid=2374648051&sprefix=babymetal+b%2Caps%2C267&sr=8-8

at most concert you should wear an earplug to reduce the loudness

example

Do you mean this one? https://www.amazon.de/Babymetal-Live-London-World-Blu-ray/dp/B0153YEV84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1551304905&sr=8-1&keywords=babymetal+london

Did you click "See all 4 formats and editions"?

Anyway, here the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Resistance-Babymetal/dp/B01BTMJ03U/

Amazon: Audio CD ($8.99)

It's a roundabout way to find because it's hidden in a dropdown with the import being the main version:

See all 4 formats and editions -> Audio CD dropdown -> 2nd option

Is this available?

Amazon.co.jp

Also on Spotify and you can buy their album here.

I don’t know why Amazon.co.jp sells Kari band’s CD “Kari Ongen -DEMO-” that cheap, ¥553 approximately $5.

仮音源-DEMO- https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B06X9XDRJK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BOwqDbY59AG9D

Link for the lazy on the amazon price.
