In June, BABYMETAL joined American metal band Korn's Serenity of Summer tour for several shows,
alongside other openers Stone Sour, Yelawolf and Islander. Just like all preceding shows of the tour,
most of the attendees on June 22nd at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View,
California were traditional American metal fans: tattoos, biker jackets, chains, cigarettes and
beer were their identifiers.

Nevertheless, there was a dedicated group of fans at the very front of the mosh pit who were there
for the “kawaii metal” trio. Many of these fans were spending their summer vacation following
BABYMETAL tour with Korn, driving to each city across America.

BABYMETAL's backing band, the Kami Band, a group of ghostly figures in white robes and white
face paint, came out first on stage to loud cheers. Many audience members didn't realize that the
backup band wasn't BABYMETAL, but that was soon remedied.

A solemn female voice recited an introduction about the mythos surrounding the spirit of
heavy metal, concluding with a declaration that “Now is the time for metal resistance with
BABYMETAL.” Right on cue, the Kami Band started to play opening song
BABYMETAL DEATH, each heavy beat of the drum eliciting shouts of “Hey!” from the crowd.

As if summoned by their fans, SU-METAL, YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL emerged from the
side of the stage, covered in their black branded towels and walking in perfect synchrony.
They then flung their towels aside and held their hands aloft in the sign of the fox.
A dance sequence followed, punctuated by repetitive lyrics that introduced who the
girls were individually and as a group.Thanx for Watching
