Suzuka Nakamoto

Suzuka Nakamoto, known as Su-metal, gives me chills for a simple reason: the enormous voice and stage command that pour out of such a small frame. Rising from child actor to Sakura Gakuin and then anchoring Babymetal, she helped invent kawaii metal, a genre nobody saw coming, and silenced hardened metal crowds at festivals worldwide. I suspect those early years of constant performing forged the unshakable poise she shows now. Truly global artists born in Japan are rarer than people think, and she is one of them. I will keep following wherever she goes next.
