Originally a sub-unit of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, [=BabyMetal=] (also stylized as BABYMETAL) was formed by the members of the Heavy Metal Club of Sakura Gakuin, under the concept of a fusion of "heavy metal and idol music". [=BabyMetal=] released their first single "BABYMETAL × Kiba of Akiba" in March 2012, reaching the 3rd place in the Oricon indie charts and and number one in the Tower Records Shibuya weekly indie ranking. However, it wasn't until they released their second single, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IzR_ClTE8Y "Headbanger!!]], when they became popular outside of Japan. The video went viral quickly and the sub-unit managed to become a stand-alone group.
