Japan's new Prime Minister is a huge metalhead — AND she's a drummer 🥁

Sanae Takaichi was elected the first female prime minister of Japan yesterday (Oct. 21), but her career didn't start in politics. A longtime lover of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Iron Maiden, Takaichi played drums in a band in high school that covered some of the biggest songs in rock and heavy metal.

"When I get irritated by my husband's choice of words or behavior, I play the electronic drums after he's gone to bed," the politician said during an appearance on the 'Babymetal's Metal Radio' show.
