BABYMETAL recently dropped a new song "PA PA YA!!" and information about their new album METAL GALAXY. The band also played their first UK set in over one year at the Glastonbury festival, and it seems they've replaced original member Yuimetal. New member Riho Sayashi, of pop group Morning Musume, originally performed with the band at Yokohama Arena in Japan, and now it appears that maybe she's more than just a live fill-in, having also performed at the Glastonbury date.
Yuimetal left the band in 2017 over health concerns and a desire to eventually pursue a solo career.
It is assumed that Riho will take on a metal pseudonym if she is officially accepted into the band.
