Ladybaby

Ladybaby was originally a Japanese kawaii metal trio formed in 2015 consisting of models Rie Kaneko, Rei Kuromiya, and Ladybeard (the bearded cross-dressing persona of Australian professional wrestler Rick Magarey).

On August 1, 2016, Ladybeard withdrew from the band, which led the remaining duo to rebrand itself The Idol Formerly Known As Ladybaby and turn back to a softer rock-and-idol mix. Ladybeard now sings for Deadlift Lolita.

On November 17, 2017, Rei withdrew from the band following a hiatus due to health issues, claiming that she needed more freedom than the idol world permitted. Rei now sings for Brats and REIRIE.

On February 25, 2018, three new members were announced after a short casting period to join Rie.

On January 13, 2020, an album was released and the band performed its last live event before going on indefinite hiatus.

On November 20, 2023, the band was rebooted with five girls, without any returning or founding member. Rie now sings for REIRIE.

The band released three singles as a trio, three singles as a duo, and five singles and an album as a quatuor. The duo's releases are licenced overseas by undefined since 2017.
