Looks like their group has grown. Glad to see it seems the original two girls are still there!

I still quite love their first smash hit:

More from an interview of Ladybeard by Forbes:

Forbes: How old are you?

Ladybeard: I’m five years old. I’m a five-year-old Japanese girl mysteriously from Australia with the appearance of an older Australian man. But Ladybeard is a five-year-old.

Forbes: How the idea of Ladybaby come about?

Ladybeard: The sponsoring company, Clearstone, is a costume maker in Japan. I had been on the cover of Metropolis, which is Japan’s biggest English-language street magazine. The CEO of Clearstone was getting off a plane at the airport and saw me on the cover, flexing in a bikini. He doesn’t speak English so he can’t read the article, but he shows the magazine to his staff, and I just happen to know some people on his staff. So they told him who I was, and he said, “Get him in for a meeting!”
So we go for this meeting, we have no idea what it’s about, and he says, “I really want to do this thing with you. I’ve got these two girls, and I want to put you in a [music] group with them. It’ll be like Babymetal except you’ll be in it. And it’ll be awesome!” That’s how Ladybaby happened.

Here they are performing live.


I just love the juxtaposition of them both audibly and visually, not to mention their musicality in general.

Little more on them: Ladybeard is a pro wrestler from Australia and his partners in Ladybaby are Rie Kaneko (17) and Rei Kuromiya (14) (but don't Google them unless you want to find truly disturbing photos that border on child porn; I guess "teen idols" are normal in Japan, and they have very young girls dressed scantily and provocatively; ick).
