I do care for babymetal because gimme chocolate is a fucking banger, corporate as it is. I like genre-crossing stuff when it's done well, like that or any mix by Bill McClintock (especially his Motown or Soul mixed with classic metal/hard rock), even Run DMC and Aerosmith, just for another example. Or stuff like Billy Strings.

I mean, babymetal is nowhere near my top 5, I'm not even sure they're in my top 5 Japanese metal bands (Sete Star Sept is Ichiban), but I do like em.

But for real thanks for letting me know about Nekrogoblin, idk how I hadn't heard this before.
