Hey man, I'm so happy to see you're back once again after such a long time, i remember your reactions were one of the best around the scene teaching me/us a lot of things. Sad to hear about your bad experience with others fans, fortunately those aren't around here anymore as far as I see, that's not the majority of BM fans, and I know the copyright blocked let down the mood of many others good reactors and is totally understandable so again appreciate you're back, so far this one is having no issue to anyone so hopefully will stay that way.🙏 Btw just like Herman Li recently said reacting to this song, they're warming up us for something better, so the best is yet to come, so far this one will do my whole month until next single at least. If you want to go back with more BM songs try to look for the help of Reactor Resource (BMRR), to get watermarked logo clips of their best live performance normally safe to react. _The time has come. Stand up!_ ⚔️🐎 Welcome to the new BabyMetal era and their metalverse.🦊🤘🌐 Glad you're part of this new BM era all of us, The One, are enjoying a lot.🔥 BM is back! This is their 1st single out of five until album release next year and is totally a banger and my jam, plus SuMetal got the lyrics credits on this, everyone is proud and happy she reached one of her dreams. She rocks!❤️ "Divine Attack - Shingeki" got some drum&bass combined with the heavy riffs of metal sound and belongs to the Cavalry snippets set they were releasing on The Other One digital gallery, also "The Other One" is the name of their next concept album. Love the "Pendulum" vibes in that DnB section, but also got some reminiscence to Kingslayer, their latest collab with BMTH. Btw I think, and this is a common guess among fans, the lyrics got kinda a tribute or some inspiration from Attack On Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin) anime series, the more i hear the lyrics the more i'm convinced, but we all know this is part of a concept album with apparently different worlds on each one of their songs and everything, including the story, will be revealed at their own time. So far we can say that this song carry the spirit of Road Of Resistance and some others songs with uplifting lyrics but is a battlecry, a call to arms and fight for your future. Thanks for sharing this and hope to see you next month with their next single.🦊🤘🔥 Here's a base translation from a Japanese fan and some fix i made. This is my 2.1 ver. Full title: Divine Attack - Shingeki Divine Attack - 神撃 Credits: SU-METAL · MEGMETAL · HAYAMETAL [Intro] The long night is upon us. A noisy wind blows. Here we gather, mighty men, with blades of steel in our hearts. Together we vow, together we shout. Let our journey begin here. [Verse 1] The way of escape has been cut off The silence has been broken The time has come to fight Raise your hand [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn _Time to go your way_ Open the road with your hands [Verse 1] Even if it's a fleeting dream Even if it's against your destiny If it's worth defying I want you to offer your heart [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ If there's a future you want to see _Time to go your way_ Break through the wall with your hands [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] _The time has come, stand up_ Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn _Time to go your way_ Open the road with your hands [Post-chorus] Woh, oh oh, oh oh Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn Woh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh Open the road with your hands
Glad you're back with the band, Chase! Your musical insights always help me appreciate the music more. You're right about the drum and bass influences. One of the people who arranged the music said so himself. BABYMETAL definitely has a super passionate fanbase -- even to a fault on occasion. I think we're generally intensely protective of the girls since they began super young and their unique style attracted some controversy and vitriol. Sometimes some people get overzealous, but I'm glad that didn't stop you from checking this great song out! It's the first time Su-metal, the lead singer, is writing the lyrics for the song. It's always been her dream to be a songwriter but she said in an old interview that she didn't have the confidence yet and wanted to understand metal more before giving it a shot. I think she did great!
Excellent reaction, Chase. The Other One is the title of the new album, due in March. They are are releasing a single, a month (except December) until the album drops, in late March. The thing that stood out for me, is Moa's vocals, on the 3rd chorus. She was awesome. Then again, I'm a Moa Simp!😍🥰😍
Great to see you back! As expected, this was great fun. Cool to see that the song makes you smile and excites you. I have yet to listen to the song on headphones, but I suspected that It would gain a lot from it, and you have confirmed that. After my first listen I tended to criticize the song for being too simple, but watching videos like yours really help me to enjoy it more by realizing intricate details and the reasoning behind particular arrangement decisions. I feel like it makes me grow as a musician and even as a listener. The missing second verse really does come as a surprise, doesn't it? But especially with BABYMETAL, I want to be surprised! And a relatively short song like this leaves you wanting more, which is rarely ever a bad thing.
WoW, Welcome back! I am kind of shocked to hear you had such encounters with some fans. I don't recall you ever saying anything negative about BABYMETAL. You always seemed to enjoy them. Some people just have too many screws loose. Happy you enjoyed this one. BABYMETAL has returned and everyone is on notice. The time has come. Stand up! 🤘🦊🤘
Excellent reaction as usual. "The One", which includes me, have been jonesing for some new BABYMETAL for some time now. I dig DA ("Shengeki") & am excited for their 2nd track to be released in November. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Great reaction, thanks and welcome back! Sorry to hear about the blocking issues and the "intense" interactions with "fans". Because I still remember your "Megitsune" reaction as one of the best reactions I've ever watched (and I've watched quite a few of them...). About this song, keep in mind that their new album will be a concept album and "Divine Attack" is apparently its second track. It goes probably after an intro and the ending of this song suggests some sort of continuity to the next one. So although it's not called to be a hit, it's really good and serves the purpose to open or at least be an early approach to the general theme of the album. Furthermore, Su-metal is credited among the song writers of the lyrics for the first time. That's a really big achievement and (in her own words) a "dream" and "a final goal in life". So, I'm extremely happy for her and so proud. Until next time! 🤘🦊
You know *Chase* is genuinely having a good time when he's got that: *"I don't know what to do with my hands"* look. 😏 Great video, man. Super entertaining just like I remembered your reactions being.😁 Now, what we really need from you, Sir, is more *BABYMETAL* reactions!🤘🏻 Plz.🍫🦊
🐎💥🐎 A reaction worth listening to will point out interesting things that one might have missed, rather than just validating an existing opinion. Chase has always been great with a breakdown. Wave Potter and Champ of Medium did a Gaijin Guys joint analysis right after the song dropped. Alan got emotional with his recent Dicodec reaction to the song. : ) With Ryan Mear's post from a few days ago, we have a full set of Gaijin Guys reactions to this one.
Nice to hear from you again. I know reacting to this band can be....challenging like you said, but I hope to see more BABYMETAL stuff from you in the near future.
I am impressed how you are able to find words to describe what is happening actually. It is like watching someone who can explain and remembering every single thoughts i have listening to babymetal. Great reaction!!!!! Much love!!!!!
“Music is a wonderful thing” absolutely loved this video, never seen anything from you before but I’m subbing now and I look forward to seeing more. You have such a wholesome energy and it was so nice to see someone else smiling like an idiot during the pre chorus/ chorus
Dude, you just made me appreciate this song a million times more. Just listening to the drum sound expanding, it now sounds totally different. I'm hearing things I haven't heard before. THANK YOU
Chase, I'm so happy to see you back reacting to Babymetal again, bringing your excellent on-the-fly analysis to bear on their music, you're one of a kind. I'm looking forward to more good times ahead, with that other stuff receding into the increasingly distant past.👍🤘
I appreciate your return to BM 有難う💛。 Your professional observation has been always enlightening. (If your friend, Tank The Tech, comes back as you do, it will make me happier.) The third era (or fourth?) of BABYMETAL has just begun. I reconfirmed the purity of Su's voice even after some maturity. Moa's velvety but powerful voice in the back sounds great, too. The first thing came up in my brain was Dante's "The Divine Comedy". A figure with wings reminded me of Beatrice in purgatory. The sacred image is overlapping with Su and Moa, but we all know that is just one of their various faces that we are going to witness from now on. Let's not be judgmental in haste. Hail to the newly born lyricist Su!! 😍
I've seen lot of reactions and I can say.. most of the time your predictions are true.. ok maybe not some Epica songs but who can predict that ;) I love music and I love BabyMetal.. Thank you!!
Chase, for the next 6+ months we are going to be blessed by the "Fox God" with new BABYMETAL songs, the new album, and hopefully fan cams from their tour with Sabaton, so I hope you (with no issues from Amuse) will be able to react to them al!🤘🦊🤘
It helps that they haven't gone quite as hard with the production on her voice this time around. In the past they have over-engineered the vocals and it strips all the life out of Su's voice. Its one of the big reasons why the live versions are so much better than the studio versions.
@@Icipher353 I can't comment on Babymetal's previous output as I have only heard a handful of tracks and mainly older ones, but I honestly feel like there is even a little too much production on the vocals in this track (I am somewhat sensitive to this type of vocal production). I can not imagine how much more there was on their previous album. That said, it's a common thing with Japanese bands nowadays unfortunately. I agree with you that it makes vocals sound like robots instead of people, I personally don't understand why producers feel the need to put on so much processing (and auto-tune/pitch correction). It's a shame when they do that to vocalist who have a good voice in my opinion, but I guess pop music and vocaloids have infected the minds of many people to what sounds good or not and that's obviously also subjective. A lot of people seem to like that particular robotic sound. Music doesn't have to be "perfect" though, it's the imprefections that give it soul imo.
@@MaartenT Yeah, its frustrating when they mess with a vocalist who is so naturally good that she doesn't need it. I find the studio recordings pretty soulless, and only really listen to the live performances since that's where Su's voice really shines.
Very sorry to hear that you had a bad time with some of the Babymetal fans. I remember thinking very fondly of your reactions, and was sad to see you stop listening to them. Hope you find your way back, as they've made so much great music over the years.
Welcome Back, Chase....and great reaction! Always enjoy listening (and watching) your reactions! You almost always point out elements that are easily overlooked (with your ears). Copyright issues, yea that sucks, but not uncommon. I would call out the "fans" that give/gave you heat because I do not think I have seen you give a critical Babymetal reaction, and if those "fans" have issues with you, it sounds like they may issues with themselves. Anyways, glad to see you back with Babymetal, and I do hope that you are able to upload more of their content!
Glad you came back to the Fox Hole Chase. I know you always enjoyed listening to the band. I do want to push back on one point... while I am not in a position to really tell how difficult any instrumental part of the song is (the drumming sounds appropriately bonkers to me)... I think that the whole mix of the song is incredibly difficult. You certainly mentioned certain parts that peaked your ears (the EQ in the second instrumental)... but, it's the whole symphonic elements that ties the whole thing together to me. And, you didn't even mention it. (Not a criticism... there is a lot going on that hearing everything in the first listen is impossible). Having done live music engineering in the past, I know how difficult it is to get the sound correct even when I only had 24 channels to work with. I wouldn't be shocked if there was easily 100 "channels" mixed into this song... but it doesn't sound like it. Gotta give credit to the engineering and mixing teams here.
Great stuff great song. BABYMETAL are the real deal. There have been very many of reactions to this song this past week, yours is among, the very best. ✌️🦊
It's great to see you again on BabyMetal! If you need any help with safest versions of the songs, you can ask! You can also put community posts asking about it, and if I see it, I will definitely drop by and help! For older songs, usually the live versions from the LEgend 1997 show in 2013 or the Budokan in 2014 are safe! For newer songs, there are safe MV, performances with a watermark on top, or compilation videos.
Apologies from the Babymetal community. you've always been kind and fair to the band, and the community has always been about acceptance. No excuses. IDZ! One thing about this song is how mature it is. They've grown up. And they're not afraid to take risks. Well done. And good reaction as always.
Great to see you back with more BM. I was wondering why you had not reacted to this yet, thankyou for the explanation. Sad to hear about your bad experiences, hopefully it was only a small amount and I suspect it may have been trolls. You spoke of layering in the vocals, which I believe as I am not a musician so you know more about these things than me. However I am certain I can hear Moa in there. I love Sues voice but I would like to hear a little more Moa also, as she has a great voice to.
Very excited and happy to hear your thoughts and analysis on a BM track again, especially on this fresh release! ♥ It always ends up giving me a deeper appreciation for the music. Hope there won't be any copyright issues, but for now it looks like the video is entirely intact, yay :) Also I'm glad to hear that your negative interactions with certain fans hasn't stopped you from coming back and giving it another shot - a display of maturity these people could learn a lot from!
The couple of your reactions to BABYMETAL that I have seen have always impressed me. I have regretted their noticeable absence. Your perception of the musical details is superior to 98% of the reactions that I have seen. And more importantly you seem to understand the concept that BM are trying to convey and correctly place it in context to the larger metal scene. I have always found your reactions positive, and do not understand how anyone could have reason to complain or give you grief. Apparently there is social media that I am not aware of that generated problems. I look forward to your reactions and hope they continue.
Great reaction, Chase! Hopefully, you won’t have any copyright issues with the new songs from BABYMETAL going forward… fingers crossed 🤞. I’m excited to hear what they do with the new album. On another note, Dreamcatcher - Vision dropped a couple of weeks back, if you’re interested. I thought you might like to know.
The master of breaking down sonic layers within the mix.. no one else picks up on the subtle parts of the song like you do! there is a song called Epiphany by the band Floya which is a masterpiece, the guitar work alone and deserves your breakdown of the layers. (vocalist from time the valuator and guitarist from Alazka) they are quite the duo! cheers!
Glad to see you back on the BM train, Chase. Hope you do more soon. Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 is a good one that almost never has copyright issues despite being from their official channel.
Great song, but it's not just that, it's the first time Su-metal has been credited for writing the lyrics, exactly 10 years after she graduated from Sakura Gakuin and expressed her dream of becoming a singer-songwriter. Huge accomplishment and very symbolic! The other new single, Monochrome, is also great and has a different style from this one. It's unfortunate that copyright issues deter you from doing more reactions. There's so many crazy live performances for you to discover! I've seen many reactors avoiding the issue. I can't speak from personal experience, but adding a transparent logo on top of the video should be more than enough, since you pause and comment regularly. I'd start with smaller tweaks to the embedded video and keep adding until it goes through and have it saved as a preset for future videos.
I have listened to plenty of Drum & Bass years ago, this is very close to one of the more used Drum & Bass breakbeats for sure. Nothing wrong with that and a lot of Japanese bands are using a lot more electronica nowadays (especially on vocals and production). To me it usually sounds less of a metal or rock track because of that. Not a huge fan of the huge amount of production and pitch-correction or auto-tune on the vocals myself (I don't know them well but I do know Su should be fine without that stuff), but again most bands do this nowadays unfortunately. I think almost all new albums I have bought of Japanese bands this year have had it to at least some extent, some of them to the point that I dislike the album because of it. I personally wouldn't categorize this track as a metal track but as a Drum & Bass track (again, nothing wrong with that), there almost no "real" instruments in sight (or they are hidden by effects). Not bad overall though, I am not familiar enough with most of Babymetal stuff (especially their newer material) to make comparisons, but it's probably a little too electronic for my taste (I like it more than Pa Pa Ya though which I have heard of their newer tracks). I love a lot of electronic music, but usually not when I am listening to rock or metal bands (I generally feel like they don't mix well with a couple of exceptions). I have seen a lot of positive reactions though, so that's great news for the fans who were waiting for a long time for new music. I always hope fans of bands get what they want even if that band or music might not be 100% for me. I already heard the Gaijin Guys reaction, so I knew it wasn't really my thing, but I still wanted to check out your reaction as well. Great job as always.
Had a moment, with this "The Other One" , maybe we will see Moa taking on more vocal lines, she sounds great too, but man did not realize how much I have missed Su's voice
I remember you as someone who championed and very much enjoyed Babymetal, I have no idea, what those so-called "fans" had to bitch about. Hope you know, the vast vast majority of us appreciate and support you. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 Great reaction and excellent song. And with lyrics by Su no less. I love everything about them, and already know, the new album will continue the insane high standard they have always set 🤘🏻
I liked this one more than most of their older songs. Less J-pop, I think? I've always admired and respected them for their talent, especially Su for her amazing vocals, but Babymetal was never really my thing because of too much J-pop in the metal for my taste (but I'm fascinated enough by them that I am subbed to their RUclips). If this is a sign of what to expect from them moving forward they might finally hook me, but I wonder how long time fans will take less J-pop in their sound?
This song is very interesting with the vocal style Su is using, and the way it incorporates drum'n'bass elements. It's going to be exciting to see it live, since the live versions always go harder than the studio versions.
Great reaction and break down, Chase! As always. I have never been the biggest fan of Babymetal, though I do appreciate the talent of the kami band and the fact that Su is a bloody good singer. I always thought they were a bit of a gimmick and never took them too seriously. That being said, I will never ever critisize them for that, because without them I would have never discovered the absolute musical goldmine that is Japan. They were the gateway and for that I am eternally grateful. Without them I would have never heard of Band-Maid (who rapidly became my all time favourite) or Maximum The Hormone, Nemophila and what have you. As for the song, what a banger! Very different from their earlier work, but still a definitive Babymetal vibe, yet way more mature. They sort of disappeared from my radar, but after hearing this, I'm definitely going to check out their more recent work and if it is anything like Divine Attack, I may become a fan after all :) Cheers!
the way you kind of lost it at the 5 minute mark is me listening to almost every Babymetal song great seeing other people get into a song so strong 🤘 🦊 🤘
Hey Chase. Awsome reaction. If I could tempt you with a suggestion, Deamcatcher also came back with a new title track an mini album as well. I think you will really really really really like it
It would seem like Amuse has lightened up as most reactions these days are uncensored. Perhaps because of the new material becoming available. I am surprised that that you haven't done the fabulous colab between two groups you apearently like, Bring Me The Horizon and BabyMetal's "Kingslayer". "Song of year" 2021 (although it came out late in "20, but everything was shut down and it didn't get much play/recognition.
I suggest that you use the links below From the Babymetal Reactor Resource ruclips.net/video/q40VmTHSh4c/видео.html Going forward, if reactors want to keep reacting to the videos, I've come up with a solution that will make it possible to continue using the videos with logos that have already been tested against blocks. I've made a spreadsheet - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZYdthVAHYaOAYL6AuhVOHotQinMoPPFEuspqDMIIGD4/edit#gid=0 with links to both the logo and the non-logo videos, hosting them on a Russian social media site that won't remove them, and is out of the reach of the copyright trolls. There are a bit over 30 videos on there now, but I'll keep uploading more every day until they're all backup. I'll also be adding new videos that I'll test on an alt RUclips account before adding to the spreadsheet. If you can't access the spreadsheet for whatever reason, here are direct links to both the non-logo videos and the videos with logos: No logos - ok.ru/video/c6630874 With logos - ok.ru/video/c7184602 For reactors that want to put their logo over the videos, here is a link to the logos I use that are already made transparent - drive.google.com/file/d/1JUVfJGp36xR2n1FHl7PzRIxXhA5P4VyW/viewor you can use whatever logo you'd like. You can download the videos, which I recommend since the site can be a bit laggy sometimes, from this free website - okvid.download Although there are other videos on my channel there, only use the ones on the spreadsheet because some of the other non-logo videos aren't RUclips-safe. Kitsunes UP!
Great reaction Chase and glad to see that you are back with Babymetal. I am sorry that you had some bad experiences with the fan base, from my experience everyone is usually very friendly and helpful, yet passionate. That song is a banger and Su got her first credits for writing the lyrics. So proud of her!!! I love your breakdowns and insights and yes, Babymetal doesn’t follow any rules and always manages to surprise you, which is great. We get another new song in November, and then 3 more in January, February, and March next year. I can’t wait for them and the album of course :) I think they were using some low tuned 9 string guitars for the song, but I could be completely wrong. Either way, I hope to see more Babymetal reactions from you! Kitsune up 🤘🔥🦊
I love your Babymetal reaction videos. You go into the music tecnique and theory that I haven't heard before. Could you please do a reaction video to this song? - BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)
Speaking of your intro, I remember that I stayed in a Babymetal Facebook group like 5 years ago for like... 10 mins. Felt like Auschwitz could have been sweeter. Most of them are like pitbulls. Even if you say: this song... hmmm... I think that part is not that good.... pffff... WAR UNLEASHED: you are not open minded, you are elitist, you are rasist, you like chinese etc. Wasted 10 mins of my life. In a way its funny since the idea of Babymetal stands exactly for the essence of flexibility.
Hey Chase. I just stummbled about your channel few weeks ago, and i already discovered some new music for me! And i would love to see an reaction Video from you reacting to Frozen Crown Neverending. I think you might like it as well ;)
Great to have you back reacting again Chase! Great job on the breakdown. Baymetal experimenting with different sounds keeps them fresh sounding, but you still know it's BabyMetal. BTW, I met Ryan, Wave and Alan from Gaijin Guys this past weekend at the Band-Maid concert in Boston. Great guys. Very nice. Hope you get to meet them some day.
If you're having hard time of copyrights and some annoying fans, don't hold off yourself, listen/watch all Babymetal songs/performance on your own time. 🤘🦊
Great reaction you could definitely see you enjoyed this one . Supprised the idiots where not shoot down by other BabyMetal fans if we spot them . we dont like that sort of behaviour in the fandom . You react how you want to if someone dont like it theres other boring Reactors to watch . 🤣 🤘🦊🤘😁
It baffles me that such a positive sounding band would have such toxic individuals in it's fanbase. People really have no self-awareness huh? Thankfully all my interactions with fans have been positive, sad to hear you had these bad experiences.
If you like this, you might be interested also into listening to Leda''s (one of the main Kami Band guitarists) previous band - DELUHI. His style is quite recognisable. DELUHI had two reunion concerts in the begining of 2019. Tickets where gone in seconds, but luckily, there are few videos. "Hybrid Truth" or "Remember The Rain" from The Xing of Deluhism 19.04.2019 might be up your alley. Also Sugizo, the guitarist of LUNASEA and Juno Reactor is def someone that's worth checking.
Just another apology for the whack fans. Most of us are pretty cool I think. As long as you aren't mean and belittling (and some reactors are) we can handle people who aren't really into it (which is not you).
Hey man, I'm so happy to see you're back once again after such a long time, i remember your reactions were one of the best around the scene teaching me/us a lot of things. Sad to hear about your bad experience with others fans, fortunately those aren't around here anymore as far as I see, that's not the majority of BM fans, and I know the copyright blocked let down the mood of many others good reactors and is totally understandable so again appreciate you're back, so far this one is having no issue to anyone so hopefully will stay that way.🙏
Btw just like Herman Li recently said reacting to this song, they're warming up us for something better, so the best is yet to come, so far this one will do my whole month until next single at least.
If you want to go back with more BM songs try to look for the help of Reactor Resource (BMRR), to get watermarked logo clips of their best live performance normally safe to react.
_The time has come. Stand up!_ ⚔️🐎
Welcome to the new BabyMetal era and their metalverse.🦊🤘🌐
Glad you're part of this new BM era all of us, The One, are enjoying a lot.🔥
BM is back! This is their 1st single out of five until album release next year and is totally a banger and my jam, plus SuMetal got the lyrics credits on this, everyone is proud and happy she reached one of her dreams. She rocks!❤️
"Divine Attack - Shingeki" got some drum&bass combined with the heavy riffs of metal sound and belongs to the Cavalry snippets set they were releasing on The Other One digital gallery, also "The Other One" is the name of their next concept album. Love the "Pendulum" vibes in that DnB section, but also got some reminiscence to Kingslayer, their latest collab with BMTH. Btw I think, and this is a common guess among fans, the lyrics got kinda a tribute or some inspiration from Attack On Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin) anime series, the more i hear the lyrics the more i'm convinced, but we all know this is part of a concept album with apparently different worlds on each one of their songs and everything, including the story, will be revealed at their own time. So far we can say that this song carry the spirit of Road Of Resistance and some others songs with uplifting lyrics but is a battlecry, a call to arms and fight for your future.
Thanks for sharing this and hope to see you next month with their next single.🦊🤘🔥
Here's a base translation from a Japanese fan and some fix i made. This is my 2.1 ver.
Full title: Divine Attack - Shingeki
Divine Attack - 神撃

[Intro]
The long night is upon us.
A noisy wind blows.
Here we gather, mighty men,
with blades of steel in our hearts.
Together we vow, together we shout.
Let our journey begin here.
[Verse 1]
The way of escape has been cut off
The silence has been broken
The time has come to fight
Raise your hand
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
_Time to go your way_
Open the road with your hands
[Verse 1]
Even if it's a fleeting dream
Even if it's against your destiny
If it's worth defying
I want you to offer your heart
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
If there's a future you want to see
_Time to go your way_
Break through the wall with your hands
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
_The time has come, stand up_
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
_Time to go your way_
Open the road with your hands
[Post-chorus]
Woh, oh oh, oh oh
Go forward to the tomorrow you've drawn
Woh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Open the road with your hands
Glad you're back with the band, Chase! Your musical insights always help me appreciate the music more. You're right about the drum and bass influences. One of the people who arranged the music said so himself.
BABYMETAL definitely has a super passionate fanbase -- even to a fault on occasion.

@grington300 300 shortest reply ever!😉
@@JokMetal 😁🤣
Fantastic song for Babymetal to come back on. It's a great start to the new album. I can't wait to hear more from them.
Excellent reaction, Chase.
The Other One is the title of the new album, due in March. They are are releasing a single, a month (except December) until the album drops, in late March.
The thing that stood out for me, is Moa's vocals, on the 3rd chorus. She was awesome. Then again, I'm a Moa Simp!😍🥰😍
Great to see you back! As expected, this was great fun. Cool to see that the song makes you smile and excites you. I have yet to listen to the song on headphones, but I suspected that It would gain a lot from it, and you have confirmed that. After my first listen I tended to criticize the song for being too simple, but watching videos like yours really help me to enjoy it more by realizing intricate details and the reasoning behind particular arrangement decisions. I feel like it makes me grow as a musician and even as a listener. The missing second verse really does come as a surprise, doesn't it? But especially with BABYMETAL, I want to be surprised! And a relatively short song like this leaves you wanting more, which is rarely ever a bad thing.
So glad you enjoyed it ! You always have some interesting insights, love it.
Suzuka's voice is the ointment for my soul.
WoW, Welcome back! I am kind of shocked to hear you had such encounters with some fans. I don't recall you ever saying anything negative about BABYMETAL. You always seemed to enjoy them. Some people just have too many screws loose. Happy you enjoyed this one. BABYMETAL has returned and everyone is on notice. The time has come. Stand up! 🤘🦊🤘
“Go and watch something else…” lol
Chase is in da house! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😎
Excellent reaction as usual. "The One", which includes me, have been jonesing for some new BABYMETAL for some time now. I dig DA ("Shengeki") & am excited for their 2nd track to be released in November.
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Great reaction, thanks and welcome back!
Sorry to hear about the blocking issues and the "intense" interactions with "fans". Because I still remember your "Megitsune" reaction as one of the best reactions I've ever watched (and I've watched quite a few of them...).
About this song, keep in mind that their new album will be a concept album and "Divine Attack" is apparently its second track. It goes probably after an intro and the ending of this song suggests some sort of continuity to the next one. So although it's not called to be a hit, it's really good and serves the purpose to open or at least be an early approach to the general theme of the album.
Furthermore, Su-metal is credited among the song writers of the lyrics for the first time. That's a really big achievement and (in her own words) a "dream" and "a final goal in life". So, I'm extremely happy for her and so proud.
Until next time!
🤘🦊
You know *Chase* is genuinely having a good time when he's got that: *"I don't know what to do with my hands"* look. 😏
Great video, man. Super entertaining just like I remembered your reactions being.😁 Now, what we really need from you, Sir, is more *BABYMETAL* reactions!🤘🏻
Plz.🍫🦊
Great breakdown my friend, and mad props to you for shouting out Ryan..he really is an awesome dude.
🐎💥🐎
A reaction worth listening to will point out interesting things that one might have missed, rather than just validating an existing opinion.
Chase has always been great with a breakdown.
Wave Potter and Champ of Medium did a Gaijin Guys joint analysis right after the song dropped.
Alan got emotional with his recent Dicodec reaction to the song. : )
With Ryan Mear's post from a few days ago, we have a full set of Gaijin Guys reactions to this one.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Nice to hear from you again. I know reacting to this band can be....challenging like you said, but I hope to see more BABYMETAL stuff from you in the near future.
@chase you might be happy to learn BabyMetal are supporting Sabaton in the UK next year, see you there!
This song gets better with every listen.
I am impressed how you are able to find words to describe what is happening actually. It is like watching someone who can explain and remembering every single thoughts i have listening to babymetal. Great reaction!!!!! Much love!!!!!
“Music is a wonderful thing” absolutely loved this video, never seen anything from you before but I’m subbing now and I look forward to seeing more. You have such a wholesome energy and it was so nice to see someone else smiling like an idiot during the pre chorus/ chorus
Dude, you just made me appreciate this song a million times more. Just listening to the drum sound expanding, it now sounds totally different. I'm hearing things I haven't heard before. THANK YOU
Very pleased to have you back! Even better - It’s BABYMETAL!!
Ignore any haters! Really, they just hate themselves! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Chase, I'm so happy to see you back reacting to Babymetal again, bringing your excellent on-the-fly analysis to bear on their music, you're one of a kind. I'm looking forward to more good times ahead, with that other stuff receding into the increasingly distant past.👍🤘
Fantastic reaction. I really like the way you do your reaction and analysis.
I appreciate your return to BM 有難う💛。 Your professional observation has been always enlightening. (If your friend, Tank The Tech, comes back as you do, it will make me happier.) The third era (or fourth?) of BABYMETAL has just begun. I reconfirmed the purity of Su's voice even after some maturity. Moa's velvety but powerful voice in the back sounds great, too. The first thing came up in my brain was Dante's "The Divine Comedy". A figure with wings reminded me of Beatrice in purgatory. The sacred image is overlapping with Su and Moa, but we all know that is just one of their various faces that we are going to witness from now on. Let's not be judgmental in haste. Hail to the newly born lyricist Su!! 😍
I've seen lot of reactions and I can say.. most of the time your predictions are true.. ok maybe not some Epica songs but who can predict that ;) I love music and I love BabyMetal.. Thank you!!
Can't get em right all the time, but right or wrong. I love the process and it's all for the appreciation.
So glad you're back man, you're one of the best reactors to Babymetal around.
Chase, for the next 6+ months we are going to be blessed by the "Fox God" with new BABYMETAL songs, the new album, and hopefully fan cams from their tour with Sabaton, so I hope you (with no issues from Amuse) will be able to react to them al!🤘🦊🤘
Su’s voice sounds very good on this track. More mature (obviously) and singing in a slightly lower register. So powerful.
It helps that they haven't gone quite as hard with the production on her voice this time around. In the past they have over-engineered the vocals and it strips all the life out of Su's voice. Its one of the big reasons why the live versions are so much better than the studio versions.
@@Icipher353
I can't comment on Babymetal's previous output as I have only heard a handful of tracks and mainly older ones, but I honestly feel like there is even a little too much production on the vocals in this track (I am somewhat sensitive to this type of vocal production). I can not imagine how much more there was on their previous album. That said, it's a common thing with Japanese bands nowadays unfortunately. I agree with you that it makes vocals sound like robots instead of people, I personally don't understand why producers feel the need to put on so much processing (and auto-tune/pitch correction).
It's a shame when they do that to vocalist who have a good voice in my opinion, but I guess pop music and vocaloids have infected the minds of many people to what sounds good or not and that's obviously also subjective. A lot of people seem to like that particular robotic sound. Music doesn't have to be "perfect" though, it's the imprefections that give it soul imo.
@@MaartenT Yeah, its frustrating when they mess with a vocalist who is so naturally good that she doesn't need it. I find the studio recordings pretty soulless, and only really listen to the live performances since that's where Su's voice really shines.
Very sorry to hear that you had a bad time with some of the Babymetal fans. I remember thinking very fondly of your reactions, and was sad to see you stop listening to them. Hope you find your way back, as they've made so much great music over the years.
Welcome back!! I was waiting for you ❤ As always a great reaction with good analysis, thank you.
Now let's enjoy the new album together! 🤘🦊
You look so excited in the thumbnail, which means you're doing you correctly. So keep doing it and enjoy the ride!
Great to have you back! Really hope the rest of the community also welcomes you back with open arms 🖤🤘
Love your reactions bro. Always honest and perceptive! May the road always rise before you!
This was a great reaction video. I was surprised that I didn't know you before now.
Please follow Jake Muller's sound advice and react more BABYMETAL.
Welcome Back, Chase....and great reaction! Always enjoy listening (and watching) your reactions! You almost always point out elements that are easily overlooked (with your ears). Copyright issues, yea that sucks, but not uncommon. I would call out the "fans" that give/gave you heat because I do not think I have seen you give a critical Babymetal reaction, and if those "fans" have issues with you, it sounds like they may issues with themselves. Anyways, glad to see you back with Babymetal, and I do hope that you are able to upload more of their content!
Thanks again Chase. Always look forward to your take. You have a voice for radio too.
恐らく音楽の専門家であろう彼がbabymetalの楽曲を聴いて驚いたり笑ったりしながら興味深いポイントを説明してくれるのを見るのが好きです。どうもありがとうございます🍅🍅🍅日本の専門家はこういうのはやらんの？
FUCK YEAH! I miss Chase's BABYMETAL reactions! 🤘🦊🤘
Glad you came back to the Fox Hole Chase. I know you always enjoyed listening to the band.
I do want to push back on one point... while I am not in a position to really tell how difficult any instrumental part of the song is (the drumming sounds appropriately bonkers to me)... I think that the whole mix of the song is incredibly difficult. You certainly mentioned certain parts that peaked your ears (the EQ in the second instrumental)... but, it's the whole symphonic elements that ties the whole thing together to me. And, you didn't even mention it. (Not a criticism... there is a lot going on that hearing everything in the first listen is impossible).
Having done live music engineering in the past, I know how difficult it is to get the sound correct even when I only had 24 channels to work with. I wouldn't be shocked if there was easily 100 "channels" mixed into this song... but it doesn't sound like it. Gotta give credit to the engineering and mixing teams here.
Great stuff great song. BABYMETAL are the real deal. There have been very many of reactions to this song this past week, yours is among, the very best. ✌️🦊
Welcome back Chase, glad you enjoyed.
It's great to see you again on BabyMetal!
If you need any help with safest versions of the songs, you can ask! You can also put community posts asking about it, and if I see it, I will definitely drop by and help!
For older songs, usually the live versions from the LEgend 1997 show in 2013 or the Budokan in 2014 are safe!
For newer songs, there are safe MV, performances with a watermark on top, or compilation videos.
Apologies from the Babymetal community. you've always been kind and fair to the band, and the community has always been about acceptance. No excuses. IDZ!
One thing about this song is how mature it is. They've grown up. And they're not afraid to take risks. Well done. And good reaction as always.
> "and the community has always been about acceptance. No excuses. IDZ!"
Exactly! And don't let the fun be taken away by some douchebags!
Great to see you back with more BM. I was wondering why you had not reacted to this yet, thankyou for the explanation. Sad to hear about your bad experiences, hopefully it was only a small amount and I suspect it may have been trolls. You spoke of layering in the vocals, which I believe as I am not a musician so you know more about these things than me. However I am certain I can hear Moa in there. I love Sues voice but I would like to hear a little more Moa also, as she has a great voice to.
Very excited and happy to hear your thoughts and analysis on a BM track again, especially on this fresh release! ♥ It always ends up giving me a deeper appreciation for the music.
Hope there won't be any copyright issues, but for now it looks like the video is entirely intact, yay :)
Also I'm glad to hear that your negative interactions with certain fans hasn't stopped you from coming back and giving it another shot - a display of maturity these people could learn a lot from!
The couple of your reactions to BABYMETAL that I have seen have always impressed me. I have regretted their noticeable absence. Your perception of the musical details is superior to 98% of the reactions that I have seen. And more importantly you seem to understand the concept that BM are trying to convey and correctly place it in context to the larger metal scene. I have always found your reactions positive, and do not understand how anyone could have reason to complain or give you grief. Apparently there is social media that I am not aware of that generated problems. I look forward to your reactions and hope they continue.
Freaking awesome Human : Nature autographed vinyl bro! Great reaction as always
When your chorus is so good it doesn’t need a second verse 🤘
Great reaction, Chase! Hopefully, you won’t have any copyright issues with the new songs from BABYMETAL going forward… fingers crossed 🤞. I’m excited to hear what they do with the new album.
On another note, Dreamcatcher - Vision dropped a couple of weeks back, if you’re interested. I thought you might like to know.
Glad you liked it, I'm excited for next months song and I'm sure you are too!
Wasn't that excited about anything for a long time 🤘🦊🤘
The master of breaking down sonic layers within the mix.. no one else picks up on the subtle parts of the song like you do! there is a song called Epiphany by the band Floya which is a masterpiece, the guitar work alone and deserves your breakdown of the layers. (vocalist from time the valuator and guitarist from Alazka) they are quite the duo! cheers!
Thank you for your wonderful reaction
Not Babymetal's best, yet, it is still epic!!!! How do they do that? Another great synopsis, thumbs up.
You're loved and appreciated!
Thank you for this,
Nice reaction and welcome back, don't you worry about those loud minority, they're gonna whine at everything anyway 😂🤘
We need new EPICA reactions!🤘🤘🤘
Glad to see you back on the BM train, Chase. Hope you do more soon. Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 is a good one that almost never has copyright issues despite being from their official channel.
Is it just me or are there increasing amounts of Moa with each return to the chorus?
I love this.
Awesome reaction Chase.
Great song, but it's not just that, it's the first time Su-metal has been credited for writing the lyrics, exactly 10 years after she graduated from Sakura Gakuin and expressed her dream of becoming a singer-songwriter. Huge accomplishment and very symbolic! The other new single, Monochrome, is also great and has a different style from this one.
It's unfortunate that copyright issues deter you from doing more reactions. There's so many crazy live performances for you to discover! I've seen many reactors avoiding the issue. I can't speak from personal experience, but adding a transparent logo on top of the video should be more than enough, since you pause and comment regularly. I'd start with smaller tweaks to the embedded video and keep adding until it goes through and have it saved as a preset for future videos.
I have listened to plenty of Drum & Bass years ago, this is very close to one of the more used Drum & Bass breakbeats for sure.
Nothing wrong with that and a lot of Japanese bands are using a lot more electronica nowadays (especially on vocals and production). To me it usually sounds less of a metal or rock track because of that. Not a huge fan of the huge amount of production and pitch-correction or auto-tune on the vocals myself (I don't know them well but I do know Su should be fine without that stuff), but again most bands do this nowadays unfortunately. I think almost all new albums I have bought of Japanese bands this year have had it to at least some extent, some of them to the point that I dislike the album because of it. I personally wouldn't categorize this track as a metal track but as a Drum & Bass track (again, nothing wrong with that), there almost no "real" instruments in sight (or they are hidden by effects).
Not bad overall though, I am not familiar enough with most of Babymetal stuff (especially their newer material) to make comparisons, but it's probably a little too electronic for my taste (I like it more than Pa Pa Ya though which I have heard of their newer tracks). I love a lot of electronic music, but usually not when I am listening to rock or metal bands (I generally feel like they don't mix well with a couple of exceptions).
I have seen a lot of positive reactions though, so that's great news for the fans who were waiting for a long time for new music. I always hope fans of bands get what they want even if that band or music might not be 100% for me. I already heard the Gaijin Guys reaction, so I knew it wasn't really my thing, but I still wanted to check out your reaction as well.
Great job as always.
Great to see BABYMETAL again, and great to see you reacting to them again. 🙂
Welcome back to Babymetal Chase. Hope to see more soon. Another new song next month from them :)
I've said it many times and I'll say it again, Chase is still my favorite reactor :)
Absolute banger of a return song from Babymetal and a banger of a reaction from Chase as per usual
Had a moment, with this "The Other One" , maybe we will see Moa taking on more vocal lines, she sounds great too, but man did not realize how much I have missed Su's voice
Great review.
That Song Is That They Looking For The Third Member For Babymetal girl
I remember you as someone who championed and very much enjoyed Babymetal, I have no idea, what those so-called "fans" had to bitch about. Hope you know, the vast vast majority of us appreciate and support you. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Great reaction and excellent song. And with lyrics by Su no less. I love everything about them, and already know, the new album will continue the insane high standard they have always set 🤘🏻
I liked this one more than most of their older songs. Less J-pop, I think? I've always admired and respected them for their talent, especially Su for her amazing vocals, but Babymetal was never really my thing because of too much J-pop in the metal for my taste (but I'm fascinated enough by them that I am subbed to their RUclips). If this is a sign of what to expect from them moving forward they might finally hook me, but I wonder how long time fans will take less J-pop in their sound?
This song is very interesting with the vocal style Su is using, and the way it incorporates drum'n'bass elements. It's going to be exciting to see it live, since the live versions always go harder than the studio versions.
Great reaction and break down, Chase! As always.
I have never been the biggest fan of Babymetal, though I do appreciate the talent of the kami band and the fact that Su is a bloody good singer. I always thought they were a bit of a gimmick and never took them too seriously. That being said, I will never ever critisize them for that, because without them I would have never discovered the absolute musical goldmine that is Japan. They were the gateway and for that I am eternally grateful. Without them I would have never heard of Band-Maid (who rapidly became my all time favourite) or Maximum The Hormone, Nemophila and what have you.
As for the song, what a banger! Very different from their earlier work, but still a definitive Babymetal vibe, yet way more mature. They sort of disappeared from my radar, but after hearing this, I'm definitely going to check out their more recent work and if it is anything like Divine Attack, I may become a fan after all :) Cheers!
the way you kind of lost it at the 5 minute mark is me listening to almost every Babymetal song
great seeing other people get into a song so strong
🤘 🦊 🤘
Hahaha accurate AF 💪💪💪
英語は分かりませんが、表情やリアクションからとても良いと感じられているのが伝わります。本当に、very very cool ですよね！次に配信される曲が楽しみですね(^^♪ また、見させていただきたいと思います、ありがとうございます！Thank you very much！
It's just BABYMETAL doing what they do...😉
Hey Chase. Awsome reaction.
If I could tempt you with a suggestion, Deamcatcher also came back with a new title track an mini album as well. I think you will really really really really like it
Sorry for the difficult interactions with some fans. Thanks for your reaction.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Thank you Chase !
I don't know what it is about Babymetal but they always brighten your day.
This is another "feel good" song...and catchy as hell
It would seem like Amuse has lightened up as most reactions these days are uncensored. Perhaps because of the new material becoming available.
I am surprised that that you haven't done the fabulous colab between two groups you apearently like, Bring Me The Horizon and BabyMetal's "Kingslayer". "Song of year" 2021 (although it came out late in "20, but everything was shut down and it didn't get much play/recognition.
So good to see you back to Babymetal Chase, so good to have Babymetal back!
F#ck the haters, Love Chase❤
I suggest that you use the links below
From the Babymetal Reactor Resource ruclips.net/video/q40VmTHSh4c/видео.html
Going forward, if reactors want to keep reacting to the videos, I've come up with a solution that will make it possible to continue using the videos with logos that have already been tested against blocks.
I've made a spreadsheet - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZYdthVAHYaOAYL6AuhVOHotQinMoPPFEuspqDMIIGD4/edit#gid=0
with links to both the logo and the non-logo videos, hosting them on a Russian social media site that won't remove them, and is out of the reach of the copyright trolls. There are a bit over 30 videos on there now, but I'll keep uploading more every day until they're all backup. I'll also be adding new videos that I'll test on an alt RUclips account before adding to the spreadsheet.
If you can't access the spreadsheet for whatever reason, here are direct links to both the non-logo videos and the videos with logos:
No logos - ok.ru/video/c6630874
With logos - ok.ru/video/c7184602
For reactors that want to put their logo over the videos, here is a link to the logos I use that are already made transparent - drive.google.com/file/d/1JUVfJGp36xR2n1FHl7PzRIxXhA5P4VyW/viewor you can use whatever logo you'd like.
You can download the videos, which I recommend since the site can be a bit laggy sometimes, from this free website - okvid.download
Although there are other videos on my channel there, only use the ones on the spreadsheet because some of the other non-logo videos aren't RUclips-safe.
Kitsunes UP!
Great reaction Chase and glad to see that you are back with Babymetal. I am sorry that you had some bad experiences with the fan base, from my experience everyone is usually very friendly and helpful, yet passionate.
That song is a banger and Su got her first credits for writing the lyrics. So proud of her!!!
I love your breakdowns and insights and yes, Babymetal doesn’t follow any rules and always manages to surprise you, which is great. We get another new song in November, and then 3 more in January, February, and March next year. I can’t wait for them and the album of course :)
I think they were using some low tuned 9 string guitars for the song, but I could be completely wrong. Either way, I hope to see more Babymetal reactions from you! Kitsune up 🤘🔥🦊
This one feels somehow less hard hitting and more melo than the usual stuff I know of them- not meant as something negativ! Absolutely loved it :)
I love your Babymetal reaction videos. You go into the music tecnique and theory that I haven't heard before. Could you please do a reaction video to this song? - BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)
Speaking of your intro, I remember that I stayed in a Babymetal Facebook group like 5 years ago for like... 10 mins. Felt like Auschwitz could have been sweeter. Most of them are like pitbulls. Even if you say: this song... hmmm... I think that part is not that good.... pffff... WAR UNLEASHED: you are not open minded, you are elitist, you are rasist, you like chinese etc. Wasted 10 mins of my life. In a way its funny since the idea of Babymetal stands exactly for the essence of flexibility.
Chase: " I love, love, love, love..." Me: "Hold on. HOLD on. Isn't that wording the copyrighted intellectual property of one Elizabeth Zharoff?!!" ;)
Hey Chase. I just stummbled about your channel few weeks ago, and i already discovered some new music for me! And i would love to see an reaction Video from you reacting to Frozen Crown Neverending. I think you might like it as well ;)
Great to have you back reacting again Chase! Great job on the breakdown. Baymetal experimenting with different sounds keeps them fresh sounding, but you still know it's BabyMetal. BTW, I met Ryan, Wave and Alan from Gaijin Guys this past weekend at the Band-Maid concert in Boston. Great guys. Very nice. Hope you get to meet them some day.
🤘🦊🤘 Hey! Welcome back to the Fox Hole. (Sorry about the jerks. :( I truly don't understand that behavior.)
If you're having hard time of copyrights and some annoying fans, don't hold off yourself, listen/watch all Babymetal songs/performance on your own time. 🤘🦊
I subscribed.
Thank you
Great reaction you could definitely see you enjoyed this one .
Supprised the idiots where not shoot down by other BabyMetal fans if we spot them . we dont like that sort of behaviour in the fandom .
You react how you want to if someone dont like it theres other boring Reactors to watch . 🤣
🤘🦊🤘😁
Sugoi 🤘😎🤙
excellent content Chase-Metal, hey bro you should checkout "From Dusk Till Dawn" Budokan 2021
floor Jansen singer of nightwish got breast cancer and went for surgery . I hope she will be fine soon
It baffles me that such a positive sounding band would have such toxic individuals in it's fanbase. People really have no self-awareness huh? Thankfully all my interactions with fans have been positive, sad to hear you had these bad experiences.
If you like this, you might be interested also into listening to Leda''s (one of the main Kami Band guitarists) previous band - DELUHI. His style is quite recognisable. DELUHI had two reunion concerts in the begining of 2019. Tickets where gone in seconds, but luckily, there are few videos. "Hybrid Truth" or "Remember The Rain" from The Xing of Deluhism 19.04.2019 might be up your alley. Also Sugizo, the guitarist of LUNASEA and Juno Reactor is def someone that's worth checking.
😭😋🤣😆😊😁🧀🍅🍚🍼🤘🏻🇯🇵👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍ありがとう🇯🇵
Just another apology for the whack fans. Most of us are pretty cool I think. As long as you aren't mean and belittling (and some reactors are) we can handle people who aren't really into it (which is not you).
