JAKARTA - Babymetal recruited the former contestant Girls Planet 999, Momoko Okazaki as the third member.

Japan's new outlet Nikkan Sports revealed last weekend that during a concert at the MM Arena Cup in Okazaki, Japan recently Babymetal announced Okazaki as the third member of the "reborn Babymetal".

Okazaki will adopt the name of the Momometal stage as part of this group.

Okazaki himself has been a member of the Babymetal reserve dancer trio, known as Avengers, since 2019. The three were introduced shortly after original member Yuimmetal Yui Mizuno's real name left the group five years ago.

Babymetal is ready to appear in Indonesia through a world tour entitled "Babymetal World Tour 2023 In Jakarta" on May 25 at ICE BSD City, Tangerang.

They just released a new album titled The Other One on March 24 yesterday. This is a conceptual album in which each song represents a unique theme based on 10 separate parallel worlds that Babymetal finds.

Prior to the arrival of The Other One, Babymetal released the fourth single Light And Darkness which was a follow-up to Monochrome, Divine Attack - Shingeki, and Metal Kingdom.

Along with the single, a video appeared showing live footage of their latest comeback appearance entitled "Babymetal Returns - The Other One" on January 28-29 at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Hall in Chiba, Japan.

This is their first appearance in nearly two years.
