“On October 10, 2021, the 10th anniversary year ended, and BABYMETAL’s numerous LEGENDS were sealed. Then, in April 2022, the plan “THE OTHER ONE” was launched to restore the petrified Babymetal through the virtual world “METALVERSE“. It’s another story of BABYMETAL…This is a concept album that restores BABYMETAL’s songs that we didn’t know about. 10 parallel worlds that exist beyond time and space revealed while proceeding with the restoration plan “THE OTHER ONE” to solve the mystery sealed in “THE OTHER ONE – BLACK BOX”, and 10 songs with the theme of each world are now clear!”
