Babymetal have picked their five favourite foods in a new Metal Hammer interview.
Hammer caught up with the kawaii metal trio – Su-Metal, Moametal and Momometal – at Download Festival in Donington, UK, last month and got them to create their dream menu.
Su-Metal begins by voicing her love for hamburgers.
“I really love hamburgers!” the vocalist declares.
“Whenever I go on tour, I’m always looking for a delicious hamburger shop. Especially, I love bacon cheeseburgers. With a chocolate shake, it’s a pretty good combo, I think.”
Moametal then explains how much she adores omelette with rice.
“During our tours, I really miss eating omelettes with rice – it’s my favourite!” she says.

“It’s my special omelette with rice, so I won’t let anyone else [have any of it]!”

Babymetal released their latest studio album, The Other One, last year.
Hammer journalist Alec Chillingworth gave the album a glowing 8/10 review.
“Now they’re not shoved down your gullet on every festival stage or website available, it’s easier to appreciate [Babymetal] for what they are: an experiment that’s gotten out of hand,” wrote Chillingworth.
“The Other One is nigh-on no-filler, and unquestionably their strongest compendium of delirium to date.”
The band released a standalone single, Ratatata, in May. The track was a collaboration with German synth-metal pair Electric Callboy.
Babymetal will tour North America this year, with support from bimbocore up-and-comer Scene Queen. See the full list of dates below.

Louder’s resident Gojira obsessive was still at uni when he joined the team in 2017. Since then, Matt’s become a regular in Metal Hammer and Prog, at his happiest when interviewing the most forward-thinking artists heavy music can muster. He’s got bylines in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Independent, NME and many others, too. When he’s not writing, you’ll probably find him skydiving, scuba diving or coasteering.
