I am in London to interview Key Kobayashi, elusive producer of heavy metal upstarts, Babymetal. It is lashing with rain and everyone is lost inside the Brixton Academy venue or stuffing their faces with chicken at Nandos. I am sat in a backroom deep within the concert venue and the band's PR and translator muse at how hectic everything has been today; It is around 7:30PM and Key is still AWOL. When he finally does materialise, he is not what you expect (I expected quite an eccentric character if I'm honest). He is slightly younger than you imagine, very down to Earth, natural and welcoming. He is, by and large, a jolly nice chap. And as the interview progresses, one realises how much he adores heavy metal and how slightly wrong footed he has become by the rapid ascent of this very strange band. (All questions answered by Key Kobayashi unless otherwise stated) What do you think the appeal of the band is? Umm... how do you say this. The people on the receiving end, the people who listen to the songs... You have some who say they like the songs. You have some that say they like the three of them dancing. You have some say they like the live performances, including the [backing] band. It appeals to people in many ways. There isn't a right answer, but I think that is the charm. There are many ways to reach and appeal to fans. Were you surprised by how fast the world embraced the band? Yes, yes!! [I was surprised] I thought it was going
