"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (イジメ、ダメ、ゼッタイ, which roughly translates to "No More Bullying"[4]) is the debut major single by the band Babymetal. It was released in Japan on January 9, 2013 as the fourth single from the album Babymetal.[5][6][7]

Pre-release history

The song was premiered at a Sakura Gakuin concert in July 2011 and a month later performed at the Tokyo Idol Festival. According to Blabbermouth.net, "It quickly created a buzz due to its mix of melodic speed metal, sensational lyrics around the theme of "Ijime" and the band's performance, which incorporates the "Wall of Death.""[1] An early version of the song can be heard in a video on the band's official YouTube channel entitled "Babymetal - My First Heavy Metal in Tokyo 2012", which also features part of a live performance of Iine!.[citation needed]

According to the band's website, guitars on the "Nemesis" version of the song were recorded by former Arch Enemy (melodic death metal band) guitarist Christopher Amott.[8]

Commercial reception

The single, released in 2013, sold 19,000 copies in its first week of release and debuted at number 6 in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.[9]
