Babymetal have unveiled a video that closes the current chapter of the band, as well as hinting towards their future.
The six-minute clip is titled The One – Stairway to Living Legend, and is set to their song The One. It finds band members Su-Metal and Moametal performing the track before climbing a staircase up to the clouds, becoming "living legends".
It arrives after a Babymetal post to Instagram on August 3, where the group teased the end of the celebrations, revealing:
"Sunday, October 10, 2021… Together with all 10 episodes of METAL RESISTANCE coming to a close, the 10-year legend will be sealed from the world. Until that seal is broken, BABYMETAL will disappear from our sight. Time is running out. There is no eternity in God’s descent."
The 10-year milestone was marked by the release of their '10 Babymetal Years' compilation and a run of 10 gigs at Tokyo's Budokan Arena between January and April. In June, they put out their '10 Babymetal Budokan' live LP and a director's cut stream of the performance.
