Today's Webtip: Babymetal!

When J-Pop meets Metal the result is... Interesting.

Although I hate to admit it, I can actually imagine there have been thousands of people on the planet asking themselves what it would sound like if Hello Kitty formed a metal band. I'm sure most people who have seen the Hello Kitty Kiss merchandise have done it, and there might even be one or two people who haven't seen that weirdness that may have pondered the prospect.

Well, we can all stop wondering now. Because it appears there is indeed a totally Kawaii version of metal that has turned a few heads. The band is called Babymetal, and it pairs J-Pop style vocals with some serious metal musicians.

You can read more about the band (and see more videos) at NPR.
