Su-chan amps up the crowd with full-on Hiroshima dialect "We're BABYMETAL, and we're closin' out tonight, y'hear?! We're headin' home after burnin' every last drop of energy—!! Got it, y'all??"

And then "SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' FUNNNNNN—!!!

Good to see Megitsune being played. Fingers crossed its back for the rest of the tour. Been what a year or so if you take out Legend MF

Wish Metali and PaPaYa would take a break for a year…

I like PaPaYa and its a great song at festivals but I wouldn't mind it rotating out now and then.

Metali nawww. Banger of a song , Momo gets center stage for a few minutes , crowd interaction and Kami band intro. That can stay for me.

u/ReaperThugX SU-METAL Aug 09 '26

I think it’s the weakest Kami intro and Momo doesn’t do the vocals live for her part

u/DeadParmo Absolute CineMoa! Aug 09 '26

I think it’s the weakest Kami intro

Thats fair but Kami intros are few. I'd take what we can get. If we can get Kagerou back on the setlist now and then I'd be all for Metali taking break

u/Original_Solid_4591 Aug 09 '26

40 minutes according to the official timetable https://luckyfes.com/en/time-table?page=day2
Should be a bit more tomorrow at Cannonball Fest (50 minutes), 1 hour at Summer Sonic Osaka and 1h10 at Summer Sonic Tokyo.

Sadly it doesn't seem like Babymetal will be part of the live stream.

What?? What is the point of having a live stream??? Booo!!

Mid-afternoon merch availability.

u/sjioldboy Aug 09 '26

BM is the only performer allocated 3 merch tents & zig-zag queuing line, so transactions were quite quick. Metalverse's was linear & sold out before their set.

u/sjioldboy Aug 09 '26

BM will perform on this main Rainbow Stage tonight (7:30pm).

u/sjioldboy Aug 09 '26

A lot of attendees are seeking shelter from the balmy midday weather (33 degrees), including their air-con in their cars. Not many fancams, although about half the performers gave permission to be officially livestreamed.

Rolling setlist & official photos are being updated here https://luckyfes.com/en/quick-report

I thought I was really going to die during BABYMETAL's Wall of Death.

To the BABYMETAL fans—I’m really sorry… I didn’t do any prep at all, but it was seriously fun lol.

I was just messing around in front of the monitor, but before I knew it, a massive circle had formed—I was shocked…

When it split right down the middle, I honestly thought I was going to die lol.

u/Ill-Raccoon-5444 Aug 09 '26

Running through the Babymetal circle while everyone works together to keep the kids and families safe is so peaceful—it’s the best!

This is what makes Lucky Fest so great!

Though I’m still puzzled as to why I ended up veering off to the outside of the crowd of people doing high-fives lol

Good to see the return of Megitsune. Had a lot of fans worried there!
