Ichion Nyuukon

Was listening to a translation of Babymetal's interview about their live in Singapore (which I didn't get to go to due to family commitments) when I stumbled upon the picture above.

Now Moa's known to be an Airi fan, so I wonder if it's more than a coincidence that the aspiration she wrote - Ichiion Nyuukon, put your soul into each and every note - happens to be Airi's motto (see question 5).

The Great Pleading Strategy

If you like your idols innocent, pure, and unrelentingly positive; this isn't a song for you.
This is the rare breed of idol songs that takes the alternative view that behind their angelic demeanour, their hearts may be concealing an ulterior purpose. The only other song with that stance that springs readily to mind is AKB 48's Zannen Shoujo.
In this song, the faeries of Babymetal tell of us their great strategy of manipulating their papa to get what they want. Enjoy.

Great Pleading Strategy

Strategy 1
To curry his favour more than usual
Massage his shoulders
And without missing a beat
"Papa I love you!!"

Strategy 2
Thank you for your work
God!!
My favourite type is obviously
"The Papa that I love!!"

Lying is alright (Resistance is futile)
Just praise ceaselessly (Sucking up, sucking up)
I want that (Just one more push)
I want this

(Making the face of an angel
Devilishly whisper)
(If you're gonna give a lecture, give me some dough)
(Making the face of an angel
Devilishly whisper)

" I wanna become Papa's bride"

Let's go! Let's go!
Pleading strategy
Cutely huff up and act a little spoilt!
The strongest!! The greatest!!
Fool him with your angelic smile
Let's go! Let's go!
Pleading strategy
Keep what I got a secret from Mama!
The strongest!! The greatest!!
Gimme! Gimme!
Pleading strategy

Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
If I have to get married then it's definitely (Papa!!)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
A barracuda-like spoiled brat (BLACK!! BABYMETAL)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
Once in a lifetime (The first and the last)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
I've decided to be a baby devil (BLACK!! BABYMETAL)

But we're girls, you know
We lo~ve  sparkly things!!
We lo~ve cute things!!
We lo~ve yummy things!!

One for the money
Two for the money
Three for the money
Money! Money! Money! Money!

Buy it!　Buy it!　Buy it!　But it!
Gimme!　Gimme!　Gimme!　Gimme!

Let's go! Let's go!
Pleading strategy
Cutely huff up and act a little spoilt!
The strongest!! The greatest!!
Fool him with your angelic smile
Let's go! Let's go!
Pleading strategy
Keep what I got a secret from Mama!
The strongest!! The greatest!!
Gimme! Gimme!
Pleading strategy

Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
If I have to get married then it's definitely (Papa!!)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
A barracuda-like spoiled brat (BLACK!! BABYMETAL)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
Once in a lifetime (The first and the last)
Please!! (The strongest) Please!! (As always)
I've decided to be a baby devil (BLACK!! BABYMETAL)
