Sakura Gakuin ( lit. 'Cherry Blossom Academy') is a Japanese idol girl group
formed in 2010 by the Amuse talent agency. The group's membership falls within the age range of
Japanese compulsory education, typically containing between 10 and 12 members at a time who
fall between the ages of 10 and 15.

With the theme of school life and extracurricular club activities, when the academic year ends
at the end of March, the group releases an annual studio album, new members "transfer in" to the
group, and others who finish compulsory education "graduate", or leave.

Members of the group also belong to one or more of its sub-units, which are modeled
after school extracurricular clubs. Each club performs with its own theme and musical genre,
and their music may be included in the main group's albums or released as a separate single.
The group will disband in August 2021

The group functions as a "unit limited to the growing period" seicho-ki gentei yunitto), typically containing between 10 and 12 members at a time who fall
between the ages of 10 and 15, and therefore are between fifth and ninth grade. The
group is themed around the idea of school life and extracurricular activities, featuring a "principal",
Mitsuru Kuramoto, "teacher" Hayashi Mori , often referred to
as "Mori-sensei"), and sub-units designated as "clubs". The group releases an album annually in
mid-March, the month marking the end of the academic year ( nendo), leading to a concert at
the end of the month in which the most senior members "graduate", or leave, in
accordance with having finished their compulsory education. Each May, new members
from lower grades "transfer in" to the group.

BABYMETAL (重音部) ; Heavy Metal Club) was a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin before becoming their own group in 2013 after Suzuka Nakamoto's graduation. They consisted of 3 members in black and red dresses.

Babymetal (Japanese: (ベビーメタル,) Hepburn: Bebīmetaru) (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese kawaii metal band. The band consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal" (Vocal and Dance) and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal" (Scream and Dance). The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band" at performances.

The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Su-metal (Vocal and Dance), Moametal (Scream and Dance), and Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal" (Scream and Dance), with the concept of creating a fusion of the heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013, following Nakamoto's departure from Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal released their eponymous debut album in February 2014. Their second album Metal Resistance was released worldwide on April 1, 2016. Babymetal has also embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking place outside of Asia.

On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) had decided to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017. Since her departure, the band has performed with one or more backup dancers at live performances. In 2019, the band introduced three backup dancers called Avengers who performed in rotation at each live show to form a trio with Moametal and Su-metal.
