In case you hadn’t heard, Babymetal are a trio once more as they revealed their newest member Momometal earlier this week. The announcement took place during their show at the Pia Arena MM in Okazaki Japan, according to Nikkan Sports.
The band have been operating as a duo since the departure of Yui-metal in 2018, who left the band in order to launch a solo career. Momometal (a.k.a Momoko Okazaki) is no stranger to the group, having been one of the three backup dancers for Babymetal since 2019. In terms of other career highlights, she was also previously a member of Sakura Gakuin, and had competed as a contestant in reality show Girls Planet 999.
To celebrate this lineup news and further promote their new concept album “The Other One”, they have just released the first MV showing the band back at full-strength, “Mirror Mirror”. Be sure to check it out below!
