The subtitle downloads don't include translations of the kamishibai before Onedari Daisakusen or show Epilogue, and I can't find any on google.
I'd like to share my thoughts on Yui's departure and kamishibai storytelling. Koba just couldn't remain this untouched. I'd really appreciate some sort of kamishibai's explanation of why Yui left the band. The storytelling and the performance are so merged together I can't imagine it apart. It feels sort of like reading a book. A fantasy. I do respect Yui's choice and her privacy and wish her all the best in her life. I understand real life differs from fiction, that's why to my mind there might be a fictional explanation of Yui's departure. It'd be a huge gap in the story without it. Maybe because of that gap I can't really accept new Babymetal's members now. It feels like a bunch of pages were torn out and you can't get what happened in this part.
What do you think of it, guys?
I have transcribed the kamishibai as best I can, the bootleg audio recording started after the beginning of the first one (but see edit). The third paragraph of the first kamishibai is nearly the same as the ending message from the Big Fox Festival, Osaka-Jo Hall day 1, and I carried over the capitalization that they used on screen there. I had trouble with a number of the words in the third and fourth one.
Edit: I have used the bootleg audio/video from the second night to complete the first kamishibai, and I have added the titles, which I first saw here in what appears to be a transcription of the on-screen Japanese subtitles. Credit to u/hermeneutica for the font
THE MESSIAH'S LIGHT ใใกใทใขใฎๅ ใ
Light
Was a gift blessed from the Heavens
And this secret gift gave people the spirit
To live and enjoy the life they were given.
The secret hope of light from the Heavens
Gave people the reason to live
And was principal^? to marking the start of a NEW LEGEND.
But DOOMSDAY had arrived.
Long time ago
The world was last lit with the light of hope
Which in an instant transformed into a world of darkness
After a beam of light had appeared.
People called this new light
Despair
With the world in full despair
The people lost all of their inner light
And all hope to live
^(---original transcription follows---)
As hope turned into despair
What kind of fate awaits?
As some time had passed, are we now into the year "2 0 X X"
A bright beam of light appears again
And lit this dark world that was in full despair.
This bright beam of light
Was neither light of hope nor the light of despair
But rather a different kind of light.
A three-eyed fox named PROPHET OF THE FOX GOD once said,
"When THE FOX EYE sheds light on the world,
a NEW GODDESS shall descend."
This NEW GODDESS shall appear at that Holy Land
and become the next MESSIAH
in order to lead the Golden Generation.
And with the advent of a new era,
And to mark the profound beginning of a NEW LEGEND,
A NEW GODDESS was to
For those not in the know, Golden Bat is a Pre-Superman superheroes, possibly the first modern superhero, who debuted in the Japanese art form called Kamishibai. He debuted in 1931, so under US copyright laws he'd end up in the public domain for sure in 2027.
However, having looked up information about copyright law in japan, it's said that "Works authored by an individual, under their own name or a known pseudonym, are protected for seventy years following the individual's death" and "prior to 30 December 2018 the term was 50 years." Despite the change, "works that had entered the public domain between 1999 and 2018 by expiration would remain in the public domain."
Having done the research, Illustrator Takeo Nagamatsu died in 1961, so going by him alone, Golden Bat would've entered the public domain in either 2011 or 2012. However, I cannot find any information on the date of the death of the original writer (going by google translate) Tataro Suzuki, going by the pseudonym "Ichiro Suzuki," so I'm not having any luck figuring that one out.
Keep in mind, as far as I'm aware (& correct me if I'm wrong), Golden Bat was never officially brought over to America, so I'm not exactly sure if he would be classified by US or Japanese public domain. Furthermore, the wiki for Public Domain Super Heroes lists him as public domain, but I'm not exactly sure about the legitimacy of that claim.
Keep in mind that this could be an example of "Questionable Status" that is common for other superheroes. For example the comic containing the first appearance of Shazam/Captain Marvel has fallen into the public domain while the words "Shazam" and the names "Billy Batson" and "Captain Marvel" are trademarked. Thus, one could technically use Captain Marvel as a public domain character, so long as the trademarked aspects "only appear in the interior of the story" and not on the cover. I am assuming the same applies to Golden Bat.
I need help looking for the legal details/information. Does anybody have a
... keep reading on reddit โกAs part of the process for my next Babymetal video, I was going through their older releases including Babymetal World Tour 2014 Apocalypse โ 14 September Makuhari Messe.
Looking at the Essential List of DVD/BD Subtitles files, I realised that the translation of the kamishibai for the show was not available in the subs.
Does anyone know if the kamishibai for that show has ever been translated? Thanks!
[EDIT] Sadly it looks like the translation for the introduction kamishibai for both APOCRYPHA - THE BLACK MASS and APOCRYPHA - THE RED MASS are also not available. Likewise for Babymetal World Tour 2015: Kyodai Tenkaichi Metal Budokai and Babymetal World Tour 2015 in Japan: The Final Chapter Of Trilogy โ Act II.
So it appears that there a lot of gaps still to be filled in.
[UPDATE] And the list of untranslated Kamishibai from the BluRay shows continue to grow. The translations are either not in the subs or not displayed during the show.
Here is the list:
- Babymetal World Tour 2014 Apocalypse โ 14 September Makuhari Messe
- APOCRYPHA - THE BLACK MASS
- APOCRYPHA - THE RED MASS
- Babymetal World Tour 2015: Kyodai Tenkaichi Metal Budokai
- Babymetal World Tour 2015 in Japan: The Final Chapter Of Trilogy โ Act II
- The Five Fox Festival in Japan: Black Fox Festival
- The Five Fox Festival in Japan: Red Fox Festival
- The Five Fox Festival in Japan: Gold Fox Festival
- The Five Fox Festival in Japan: Silver Fox Festival
- The Five Fox Festival in Japan: White Fox Festival
Hopefully, someone in the community will be motivated to have a go at translating the lore from the kamishibai. ๐ค
I am very curious about this... I know KOBA said that no songs will be repeated but other than that did they set up any hints towards Black Night or future plans of BABYMETAL in general?
That's just from my curiosity by chronological point of view. It is an example of their small-step approach. Watching the Blu Ray, I felt the three acts drew the line. Begin from impressive sections of Kamishibai script in Legend I, D, Z.
From Legend I :
Nowadays the world has been conquered by the most brutal magical force of "Idol," the biggest power of the world. They controlled all of media, politics and economy. They have all music but Idol harmful, not to say Metal, too. Metallers has been robbed their souls and pray for revival of Metal. Then their pray should reach to Kitsune-Sama, a god of Metal.
Kitsune-Sama named the trio of Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal as Babymetal for meaning a birth of brand-new Metal, sent to the world as a dark heroine of Idol world. For all, now it's the time of dawn of Metal Resistance.
From Legend D :
The second impact. 1997, it was a winter just fifteen years ago. It was December 20th, when a teens group called "The SPEED King in Okinawa" dominated Idol scene, that Su-metal came into the world. It was also fifteen years ago, December 31st 1997, a band of legend called "The Invincible," closed its history at Tokyo Dome.
The Fox God said, "A birth of new life which exceeded a reason of the world. As its trade-off, the existed lives shall be exterminated."
From Legend Z :
A long long time ago, there was a girl who fought bravely against Idol, the superpower. "The Seven Days of Frame Red" - at the end of war her soul became a red frame, burning in seven days. Then her soul was shepherded by a fox squirrel.
In the Valley of Metal, the golden Moon and the red Sun are overlapping. The goddess all aflame arises now. And countdown has began to the doomsday...
These acts took place from Oct 2012 to Feb 2013. Their major debut was in the middle of the period, Jan 2013. Suzuka graduated Sakira Gakuin in the next March.
You may notice these tales told a conflict in Idol world. And had references from Eva, Nausicaa and other Anime culture. They might have regarded themselves as a rebel in Idol world.
They had appeared at some Anime related festivals before, but after the acts, at the live "Revolution in May," they "took a journey to meet legendary Metal Master for getting the truth of Metal." Then they appeared less Anime shows and more rock shows.
And recent versions of Kamishibai are about Metal Resistance in Metal world as you know. As Kob
... keep reading on reddit โกThe one who perceived it is not me but the same blogger as I mentioned before.
They used the same music for Kamishibai both at Yokohama and APMAs. You can hear the main riff from Breaking the Law in it.
So the collaboration had already been arranged at that time (last December)?
The Fox God teased us again?
The nomination and performing was anounced on around March 17 and April 5 respectively.
The Fox God says that the meeting was not a coincidence and nothing happens by accident.
I don't know... I really don't know...

Which one is who here? My guess is the one with blue lightsaber is Moa while the one with red is Yui. What do you think?
From Japan with \m/. A 2channeler guessed a script of Kamishibai in GaGa show from short footage.
http://awabi.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/hrhm/1406951628/811
In the land of the Rising Sun.
The HEAVY METAL RESISTENCE began.
Three girls were chosen and given the holy metal name by the FOX GOD.
He named them "BABYMETAL" which meant birth of a new style of HEAVY METAL.
The METAL MASTER said.
"ALL HEAVY METAL Roads lead to the USA"
In America there is the "Poker Face Monster."
At her electric chapel, the Poker Face Monster summoned BABYMETAL to be here before you all.
She cast a spell upon the girls.
"Artistic Revolution Through the Potential of Heavy Metal."
BABYMETAL's black eyes turned red, and the girls declared.
"We live for the applause, and justice for Kawaii and Heavy Metal."
Now BABYMETAL has metamorphosed into LADYMETAL...
A METAL MONSTER is born!!
Note : 2channeler pointed out that at first appearance on GaGa show in Phoenix, the Poker Face Monster looked like Kitty-chan. But today at LV show it seemed to be changed to GaGa.

There are no English subtitles for the BD/DVD, so I hope this could be of even a bit (chocotto) help to you. Legend 1997 Kamishibai translation is here.
Chapter 01 (0:00:25-0:01:30) LEGEND "1999" -1999 SECRET OBJECT-
"The world will end soon."(1)
It was the end of the century, when the world was seeing SECRET OBJECT, by the magical power of 'the Prince of Hell' who ruled over the Metal World, the demons that devoured holy objects resurrected again, (it meant that) Devils were Coming with Heavy Metal.(2) His prophecy that he would conquer the world was completed on 31 December 1999 (the end of the century). The Metal Spirit, with which he had been in love since 100,000 and 14 years ago,(3) transcending time and space, now creates the new EL.DO.RA.DO.(4) Gents, here comes the Genesis of Metalion!(5)
-
From the last scene of the anime 'Evangelion 2.0: You (Cannot) Advance'.
-
All related to Japnese Heavy Metal band 'Seikima-II (Seikimatsu)', also '1999 SECRET OBJECT' and 'the Prince of Hell' are song names from their albums. Details are available in [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seikima-II]
-
Demon Kogure, the leader and the vocalist of Seikima-II, whose birth year is (said) B.C.98038. And the Japanese wording '...since xxx and xxx years ago...' is from the lyrics of the first main title of 'Genesis of Aquarion'.
-
'EL.DO.RA.DO': a popular Seikima-II's song -youtu.be/MaT2ldOLfm8
The title credit of this song has been changed once or twice (EL.DORADO or EL DORADO) but KOBAMETAL chose the oldest one from his enthusiasm.(?)
- A pun on 'Genesis of Aquarion'- the anime series.
Chapter 06 (0:18:00-0:19:20)
1999- In those days when the Tango of Dango swept throughout the world(6) and the band of grey fascinated a crowd of 200,000 people,(7) the Angel of Dance descended to this world. The Angel, whose name is YUIMETAL. Kitsune-sama said, "They will be connected by her fate."(8) In preparation for the coming Metal Resistance, by collecting seals(9) and attending the school limited for growth period, YUIMETAL has been carrying out the undercover mission on idolโmusic scene bit by bit (chocotto by chocotto).(10)
-
Tango of Dango: Dango Three Brothers -Youtube -The big hit song in 1999 from the morning TV show for children, dangos are sweet rice dumplings and the lyrics are about their daily life.

GLAY's 10th A
Hearing the epic buildup intro of "THE ONE" and then the bass and the voice talking just makes me teary every freakin time.
I definitely would have lost it and started bawling if I was there T_T
I don't know about BD but there's no English subtitle in DVD, so I have tried that. (I need more 3-5 days to do 1999's since there are hell of a lot of puns ond some homage needed explanatory notes, so that I still haven't watched song part at all... hope your delorean arrive even a day earlier ;)
Chapter 05 (0:18:20-0:19:16)
Second Impact, in the winter of 1997, it was the birth of the new warrior 'SU-METAL' who transcends the way of this world. She was charged with the mission of Metal Resistance and challenged to fight taking her own life on the legendary '15th Birthday Night.' In 2013, SU-METAL accomplished Metal Resistance and steadily made legends in many of the festivals. After that, she returned to the Holy Mother in preparation for the birth of the new goddess. The Holy Mother said "The souls repeat the cycle of birth and death. Return to me... retracing your memory..."(1)
Chapter 08 (0:27:57-0:29:24)
The girls romped (did kin-kila-ring!!)(2) too much with 'Uki Uki Midnight' in the holy night, who were YUI-METAL, MOA-METAL ...and SU-METAL. But, take care not to romp too much. YUI-METAL and MOA-METAL ate 'Check-It-Out Chocolate' again, although Kitsune-sama had told them "Don't eat them, Dame, zettai!" SU-METAL supposed "It will do me no harm, if it's a tidbit?"(3) However, she formed her hand as Kitsune Sign and tried to restrain. "Would you like a tidbit?" the two girls were leading her into devilish temptation. At last SU-METAL couldn't take it anymore and stretched out for them, but the chocolates were going away from her, "Eh!? Wait, wait a mo!!" SU-METAL was going to ask Kitsune-sama "Gimme chocolate! Please!"(4)
Chapter 13 (0:49:40-0:51:00)
The holy night, the wonderful night on which everyone's dream will come true. But Metal Resistance is still in progress even if it's in the holy night. Kitsune-sama, the god of Metal, in order to make the holy night be in the Metal mood, sent the gods of guitar, the god of bass and the god of drums, together with Black Santa Claus... Black Santa Claus will come to the houses of good boys and girls. "Give me! Give me!" Black Santa Claus will come to your house too, to ask you to give them a present. The largest 'Onedari Daisakusen' in the history of X'mas, that will begin now.
Chapter 17 (1:06:33-1:07:32)
SU-METAL fought on taking her own life in order to protect Metal Spirit. Finally the soul of SU-METAL changed into a raging red flame and burned up the sky red
... keep reading on reddit โกHey everyone, I was wondering what the Kamishibai is saying for the prologues and the epilogues of each concert and songs since Legend IDZ. I would like to know more about the lore of behind Babymetal, so I was wondering if there exists a list of all the logs?
I wish you all a happy BABYMETAL weekend!
It is BABYMETAL goodies time again! ...and BLACK BABYMETAL Friday!
Goodies not covered by the specialized goodies threads listed below are especially welcome here, like for example goodies with BABYMETAL as a whole, Black Babymetal (MoiMoi) goodies, people backing BM (in addition to Kamis) not getting enough credit, BM interacting with outsiders like musicians/media/etc, and more... but any BM-related goodies you want to share with the community this weekend are welcome, without necessarily having to wait for the appropriate specialized goodies thread.
As usual: Here are the previous goodies thread and the latest Su Sunday, Moa Monday, Yui Tuesday, Kami Wednesday and Reactions Thursday specialized goodies threads, in case you have not already read them, or want to check them for late additions.
Share and Enjoy!
Sincerely, /u/JalmarY
Standard Introduction:
Welcome to yet another goodies thread! I hope it will fulfil our needs for Babymetal kawaii, kick-ass, awesomeness, fun and tidbits from their past like the earlier ones!
I encourage you all to put almost all of the kawaii-bombs (super-cute stuff), fun stuff, super-cool stuff, awesome moments, favourite pics+gifs+clips++, curiosities, fanart, brief stories of favourite fan moments, covers, reactions, mashups and similar non-news goodies in comments here or in one of the specialized weekly goodies threads so we do not clutter up the main submissions list.
But, if you find anything especially newsworthy or likely to draw many comments, you might give it its own thread, especially if it is unlikely that anyone here has seen it before. But -- please note: Something being super-kawaii/sugoi/kakkoi (cute/amazing/cool) is not a good enough reason by itself for a separate link thread, that is just the norm when dealing with BABYMETAL -- and please never *post
... keep reading on reddit โกI don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
