Animetal Lady
Animetal Lady is a heavy metal band from Japan that sings the theme songs of Japanese animated movies and TV shows (Anime). Their original singer was MIE from Pink Lady (and Jeff) fame, and their latest singer, well her name is 未唯. I purchased their latest CD (oh so expensive import) recently, Animetal Lady Marathon 2, and although my exposure to 2000’s metal is limited (Dimmu Borgir, Slipknot, Cradle of Filth, Ministry, Dethklok) I think it’s the best metal disc of the 21st century so far. The metal music is solid metal (never false or nu) and flawlessly played, the vocals are over-the-top Otaku, and the energy and excitement of the songs is non-stop from start to finish.
The sad thing is I believe both Animetal Lady and their masculine counterpart Animetal have broken up. :( For more info, here’s the Animetal site.
Okay, now all that said, the point of this post is to show you this video of Animetal Lady in concert performing one of my favorite Anime theme songs, Cutie Honey:
