Not that I'm really in the market for one but I'm always intrigued when I see a classic ThinkPad being sold locally. Specs are:
Price - $125.
My sense is he'd probably take $100 for it. I can't believe another 8 GB DDR4 would cost about $50 these days.
Usually with metal it's all about the music but BABYMETAL bring such a unique, visual aspect that I wonder how much of that plays into their success. The music stands on its own but I feel without the visual part, there may not have been as many people discovering them in the first place.
My older neighbor recently got a Chromebook and was gonna throw away her old Inspiron 1545 because it was having some issues (screen flickers when bumped, slow overall speed). I said let me take a crack at a few upgrades/fixes so you can at least have it as your backup.
Current Specs:
I have an SSD for it and planning to install Windows 10. My main 2 questions are
My guess is the cable on the screen is probably loose so I'll take care of that. Again, this will only be a backup if needed. Thanks for your help.
I'm rounding them off but according to Wiki, here is how total sales stacked up for each album:
Does it surprise you that some of the later albums are so low in sales relatively speaking?
I know it turned out the right way but I gotta admit at first I kinda thought Kano was gonna be the one. For one thing she appeared to be closer in height to Moa so the symmetry looked correct. I think Momo is actually taller than Su.
If you knew it was gonna be Momo all along, how did you know?
I'm sure wherever you are in life you're still putting in that same 110% effort like you've always done.
New music groups usually start out slow, gain some traction, then hit their stride and get to their peak. Then at some point are on the backside of their career slowly moving to the finish line.
Where do you see BABYMETAL in this timeline right now? Are they at their peak, not yet there or maybe on the backside now? You can use baseball innings 1 - 9 or any other analogy to describe where they are now.
I'm more familiar with the older stuff so for me it's "Iine!" because I always felt that was more EDM / Pop with only a small metal section in the middle. I'm guessing there may be more non-metal songs on the newer albums as they keep expanding their musical boundaries.
Any guesses on when they might update their stage costumes or at least change the complementary colors? I wouldn't mind seeing some more striking blue on black for the next go around or some other color they haven't really used before.
This is my pick. Can anyone think of another?
You can base it on whatever you want - costume, hairstyle, etc...
My picks:
I think they usually do Pro-shots on the second day of a back-to-back so I'm guessing this was January 11th, 2026. I'm just not positive.

Always cool to see them practicing in their non-stage outfits. Would love to see some footage of the current lineup this way.
From what I’ve found there are only 7 of these that exist as a Pro-shot. This is the standard middle bridge section where they fall down and then get up doing their fist pumps. It does not include any call and response versions.
They are shown in chronological order:
If anyone knows of any I missed, please let me know.
For some context, I don't pedal at all because my knees are shot. So I use the throttle 100% of the time. Based on that I thought a class 2 ebike would always limit my speed to around 20 mph even when going downhill. I never unlocked class 3 because I wouldn't need it since I don't pedal but even if it was unlocked, that should cap at 28 mph.
Today I was going over a causeway in Florida and once I got over the hump and headed downhill I picked up speed naturally with a tailwind. However I thought the motor would limit me to 20 mph while I held the throttle open all the way. As you can see I blew that away.
Can someone explain how the max speed limitation works with the throttle wide open? I mean I'm happy I was allowed to go that fast, I just didn't think it would permit me to.
Let's say you have a 5 piece band for example. If it gets down to only 2 original members, it is still the same band? What about 1 member or what about no original members?
Would love some specific examples with your reasoning.
They somehow survived losing one original member and some would say became bigger and better. If they lost Moa, would fans still embrace Babymetal going forward?
This assumes that Su, Momo and Koba all want the band to continue on.
