Moametal, one third of globe-conquering Japanese kawaii metal sensations Babymetal, has revealed the touching message she'd give her younger self if ever given the opportunity. Speaking to Metal Hammer in their new issue, in which Babymetal star on the cover, Moametal is asked what she'd have to say if she could go back in time and meet the Moametal of 2010 - the year Babymetal first formed.

Moametal, now 25, says she'd be pretty effusive about the journey she's been on. “I want to give myself lots of praise, like: ‘You’ve been doing Moametal for 15 years without ever giving up – that’s amazing!'" she beams.

That’s something to be proud of!’”
