I wanted to despise this on the grounds that novelty metal acts are usually pretty terrible (or uninspired at best), but goddamn if this wasn't super fun to watch and listen to.
I like to imagine an older couple, and it's there first time in NYC and hey, they got tickets to go see Colbert, and then they have to sit there and experience Baby Metal

I was so mad their show was sold out when I was in Japan last. I was even at the big shopping mall/concert venue Diver City at the time of the concert, coincdientally – so close, yet so far.
