Animetal Lady Marathon


Animetal Lady Marathon is the first album by Animetal unit Animetal Lady, featuring Mie of Pink Lady as the vocalist in place of Eizo Sakamoto. As Animetal Lady, the group releases heavy metal covers of shōjo anime theme songs, children's anime theme songs, and other anime theme songs sung by women.
As with the first three Animetal albums, the cover of this album features a skeleton-like figure, which is a parody of heavy metal mascots such as Eddie of Iron Maiden and Vic Rattlehead of Megadeth. Also, certain songs incorporate instrumental arrangements of well-known rock and metal songs. For example: "Haikara-san ga Tōru" uses a bass line similar to Iron Maiden's "Wrathchild".
Songs originally recorded on the singles "Animetal Lady Sanjō!" and "Animetal Lady Kenzan!" are featured in this album.
