Congrats if true! 

But why now and not a few years ago?

If true it might be because they are having their 10 year anniversary this year, might be that they don't have jack shit else to do because of covid.

Yeah and maybe they're looking for something a bit different. I would have expected it more after Karate/Metal Resistance. They haven't done as much this year, and it'd be nice to have their original line-up there. On the other hand a lot of music acts have been less active.

Well, most of what BABYMETAL usually does is concerts and those are out this year(though they did manage to do like 20 of them at the start of the year before Covid restrictions) but they did Songs of Tokyo Festival and are going to appear at the VMAJs so that is already double the amount of TV appearances they usually do in a year.

PS: Someone we all know and love is having a fit on Arama.  Something about someone not deserving to be on Kouhaku...

It's funny, i am pretty sure i have actually argued with him on here that BABYMETAL might have been offered and certainly could get a Kouhaku slot and him saying it would never happen...

Well, we can all see how that turned out.

Probably because they can't really tour

That's probably one of several reasons. Others being worldwide fame, performance ability, 3 "Gold" Albums in Japan and them having a 10th year anniversary.  It's got absolutely nothing to do with them having a hit.

Kouhaku's Chief Producer made it very clear that he wanted them to be on the show and he's glad they accepted. Not sure other offices will like NHK's stance but there you have it. The invite is very real, deserved or not. I don't see them being regulars on Kouhaku, anyway. That's not Kobametal's style!
