Anyway, Babymetal kicked off their tenth year of existence with a bang, playing a two-night stand at Makuhari Messe (which by that point had become kind of Babymetal's go-to venue in Kanto) called LEGEND METAL GALAXY. Like Tokyo Dome just over three years earlier, each night had a completely different setlist – listed after the fact as "Sun" (Night 1) and "Moon" (Night 2). It also featured something nobody expected: ''all three Avengers on stage at the same time'' during "Road Of Resistance". Plus, ''they (and Moa) had hand-mics'', which had never happened before. In addition, both Kami Bands appeared, and have become semi-officially known as the "Kamis of the East" and "Kamis of the West".

recover. For reasons unknown to anyone sane, though some have suggested it had to do with Japanese Law, in order to actually ''support'' Rock-May-Kan and see the livestream of the show, one had to already be a THE ONE member and buy a T-shirt.
The Rock-May-Kan benefit show, which lasted about 40 minutes not counting the short interview segment near the end, was pre-filmed, had no audience (of course), and – for the first time in years – no Kami Band likely due to the extremely small size of RMK's stage. One of the songs performed was "Doki Doki Morning", which Su had not sung live in over four years. Amusingly, in doing so she proved Moa's assertion from an interview the previous week that Suzuka could alter her voice to sound like she was still 13. Worth noting that the intrumental backtrack at this show for their oldest songs sounded wildly different from the first album, much heavier, meaning Koba had taken the time to re-record things.

Beginning in October 2012, the girls embarked upon a series of three solo concerts – Legends "I", "D", and "Z" – at mid-size venues around Tokyo. The first, "LEGEND I", had a live band appear onstage and back up the girls on two songs for the encore. This is technically the first appearance of the Kami Band, although none of the musicians who would come to be associated with that name were part of that first show. "LEGEND D" was the first of several Babymetal concerts held on or around Suzuka's birthday, December 20th. That particular concert is unique for being the only show at which Babymetal covered the popular folk rock song "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" (probably best known for its [[SoundtrackDissonance ironic]] cameo in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]''), along with the [[Manga/ZettaiKarenChildren Karen Girl's]] theme "Over The Future" – Suzuka had been one of the Karen Girl's, the song had helped Yui through a tough time in her life, and Yui and Moa had auditioned for Sakura Gakuin by dancing to the song; Yui would later write how getting to perform that song onstage with Suzuka was a childhood dream come true.

Now, ''technically'', the usage of the term "Episode IX" can be seen on THE ONE edition of LEGEND M. However, considering Episode VIII hadn't started at that point, one can infer that was a mistake on Koba's part. Wouldn't be the first time.

A couple weeks later, the band embarked upon what was intended to be the first leg of their European Tour. Like with the US Tour, the Western Kamis joined the girls. Unlike the US Tour, where Riho and Momoko switched off just about every other gig, this time Riho performed the entirety of the first half of the tour while Momoko took over for the second half. Fan speculation is this was due to Riho taking a role in a play and needing to return to Japan to rehearse. Kano of course did not participate in the tour at all due to preparing for Sakura Gakuin's traditional Winter shows as well as her own graduation.
The tour concluded in Moscow at the beginning of March and the girls returned to Japan to rest and prepare for the next legs of their tour, which the band's social media implied would build up to something spectacular that October for Babymetal's 10th Anniversary.
