This thread was supposed to report that BABYMETAL closed out Main Stage 2 at “LOUDER THAN LIFE,” one of North America’s biggest metal/loud-rock festivals. But the replies that actually followed had almost nothing to do with BABYMETAL. The conversation spiraled off into the weather and typhoon-path forecasts, sumo rankings and bout previews, price-and-value comparisons of deli food at convenience stores versus supermarkets, and even entertainment news about Nogizaka46’s Sakura Kawasaki joining CanCam as an exclusive model. True to form for 5ch’s “Morning Coffee” board, the real highlight here is how little the thread title matches what people actually talked about.
So apparently they closed out Main Stage 2 at the “LOUDER THAN LIFE Festival,” one of North America’s major metal/loud-rock festivals.

Kinda feel for the weather forecaster who has to report that, lol — just how far behind are Japan's weather forecasts anyway

The boss's favorites — Takayasu, Fujinokawa, and Atamifuji — have bouts lined up back to back

What a coincidence — I never bought that Trial (supermarket chain) sandwich a second time either. Bought ohagi (sweet rice cakes) twice, so it's still on probation

"It'll turn into a typhoon by tomorrow" → "It'll turn into a typhoon by tonight" → "It'll turn into a typhoon by tomorrow"

Suddenly letting an "uri-surā" (fan-slang for a reseller/scalper type) crash at your place is way too sketchy, lol — I mean, they're an uri-surā after all

Kataage Potato chips are so good — light-salt flavor all the way. Goes perfectly with Kinmugi beer, glug glug

Going by hair length I figured Mikku got snatched up again, but turns out it was actually Moeshi

That foreign guy from "Why Did You Come to Japan?" who loved Kikuchi's gorgeous defense so much he came to Japan and started cheering for the Hiroshima Carp — he's probably disappointed too now

My old place had one of those pit toilets (botton benjo) where you could actually see straight down to the poop — it was so bad my friends would visibly cringe every time they used it. Rough times.

Something about yesterday keeps replaying in my head and it's bumming me out. Still haven't shaken off yesterday's vibe. Wish I could just feel better soon, enjoy life, and get back to feeling calm and at peace.

For the boss: Juryo wrestler Ikumime, who's sitting out, has mumps — submitted a doctor's note saying "epidemic parotitis, needs rest through September 17"

Sharp announced they're pulling out of smartphones, but since Foxconn absorbed them they're actually still cranking out phones, huh

If the boss were watching, he'd definitely be yelling "KATSU!" at Onosato to shape up

Background and Key Points
The “Morning Coffee” board where this thread was posted is traditionally a hangout for Hello! Project fans to keep up everyday small talk, and it’s common for the thread title to reference one topic (here, BABYMETAL’s overseas festival news) while the actual content drifts into something completely different, like weather, celebrity gossip, or sumo. In this case, it’s reported as fact that BABYMETAL closed out the main stage at one of North America’s biggest metal/loud-rock festivals, but none of the replies that followed actually dug into that news. What can trip up readers is that the thread title alone makes it look like a BABYMETAL discussion is underway, when in reality the thread functions as a general chat space for the board’s regulars. Among the chatter, the news that Nogizaka46’s Sakura Kawasaki had joined CanCam as an exclusive model stood out as one of the more concrete, actual pieces of news raised.
