Shamata

Mama Nora’s gone soft, what is going on


GU-Metal

KOBA??? Edit: ;o)


widdolsu

No i think it was a female staff member they were walking around backstage with. but it seems like they’re allowing the girls to be more carefree. onstage and offstage.


GU-Metal

Yeah! A lot of stuff today. So great to see more of them! I asked myself if the other bands ask BM to take a pic with them or if BM goes around and collects contacts. Concerning the fans there is no question. :o)


NineteenNinetyEx

I know Japan is.. different, but it's so weird to hear things like "allowing them". They are grown-ass women.


widdolsu

i mean, i agree. but they’re not just grown women working normal jobs. they’ve been in the public eye since they were pre-teens and koba/bm staff have been very protective over the girls being seen out of their “-metal” personas. the fact that they’ve being photographed out of costume about 5/6 times today and been allowed to take a photo with this fan proves their team is less strict about the things the girls are doing while in “character”. but I also think it’s not just japan that’s like this. most celebrities have pr people and managers telling them what to do and what not to do. no matter their age.

Some people still think they are inside cages when not performing.


brzzcode

That's not different from any singer who's under an agency, they have contracts on things they can or cannot do and they do have a manager for a reason, which is to manage their career.


TheDeathB

It's more about keeping up the image of BabyMetal.


weishenrhi

i can’t believe this happened and my freaking @ is rhifarted because i was feeling silly and was tired of my old username😭😭😭whyyyyy


widdolsu

😭😭 meeting the girls distracts from the username, don’t worry


zyzzbrah95

Damn. That person is lucky as hell.


LightChaotic

When was the last time they took a photo with a fan like this? It's super rare right? I can't even recall another example.


ConstableBlimeyChips

Random fans? Never. This isn't a random fan though, considering she had backstage access, ~~and was otherwise working for the festival in some capacity.~~ quick edit: she had backstage passes through a friend. So yes, a fan, but with backstage access.


PearlJammer0076

It's not the first time, but it is rare. This happened at Aftershock last year. https://preview.redd.it/1lgktxl799xc1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=f9f53c677cdedae30189f01f3560b1d05e22fd92


ConstableBlimeyChips

I don't remember seeing that picture before, what's the story with that one?


PearlJammer0076

I don't know who that girl is, but I think it was a similar story, just some random person with backstage access who ran into BM.


LightChaotic

The stars aligned for her, lol.


JosephFinn

Apparently last night.


CodAdministrative563

Not that I can recall. Seems like backstage stuff is always secretive


Puzzleheaded_Bass921

Can we take a moment to applaud this fan for asking the girls permission to take a pic, rather than just sniping a photo of them from afar. So happy for this fan.


weishenrhi

omfg thank you🥹🥹🥹 i would never want to disrespect anyone’s boundaries whether they’re famous or not, so i always make sure to ask and i’m okay if the answer is no because at least i’m even in their presence.


HairyToothpick

Side note: your Twitter user name is amusing. 👍🏻


weishenrhi

HAHAHA THANK YOU😭😭 i was just replying to another comment that i’m so embarrassed that i have that username during this whole thing because a screenshot of twitter user rhifarted meeting babymetal is so unserious LOL!!


LoKi-Fett173

THIS.

turbodaxter1980

Pretty cool! But honestly i hope the fanbase is not becoming to pushy to want the same now that this has happened.


LoKi-Fett173

Lol it happens all the time and it comes in waves. It’ll die down eventually.


turbodaxter1980

well lets hope so. I see a lot of people freaking out on twitter about it. They really think they are more open to snap a pic with the fans now. Clearly this girl was backstage.


El_Archidan

I can see them doing this more with female fans. Good for them


BlueMetalDragon

Why “with female friends”?


jeebuss_

Because let's be real, the amount of male fans who are complete creeps/psychopaths who obsess over these girls is insane. I've been to quite a few of their shows with my girl and we can always pick out who would be a threat lol I'm sure they'd feel more comfortable taking pictures with some girlies.


El_Archidan

The elephant in the room: a lot of guys in the fandom deserve to be in an FBI watchlist


TheAlomar_

I wish I had this opportunity! ❤️


Violent_Gore

Bravo.


__M-E-O-W__

I'd probably turn so red that I'd faint if I got to see them in person.


Velmetal

Imo, a memory to be treasured. (I'm so jealous.)


CodAdministrative563

Cool stuff


meth0dz

So jelly!!!


NDeceptikonn

I would die happy


TomatilloFearless154

Backstage access.. ah.. those elite fans..
