Like most other bands, BABYMETAL regularly sells new Merch to their fans either through their online shops or as concert exclusives for those of us lucky enough to attend.
Among these, you obviously have the uber classics like T-Shirts, hats, wristbands and neck-towels a stapple of any concert goer in Japan. But from time to time Amuse also releases some unexpected items.

Sale price : ¥2,000

Around the 2015 World Tour Amuse released this peculiar object, a kind of kid's toy. This one is a sort of Pyramid shaped Rubik's cube.

For a mere €460 at the time Asmart was selling a cabin bag sized 26 Liters suitcase, size H55cm X W36cm X D24cm
Not only this item will allow you to bring your favorite tshirts to the next BABYMETAL concert, but you'll be able to roam the airport effortlessly as it doubles as a scooter.
