  • Our first reaction to BabyMetal was very surprising to us, and we were not totally prepared for what we saw or heard. Today, we are going back to them with this performance of "Road to Resistance" live from Japan.

    Good reaction. Welcome again to the crazy universe of BabyMetal.
    BabyMetal is an atypical heavy metal group, because they are idols. In Japan, idols are often paired with pop music (Jpop), and Babymetal was actually a subgroup of a larger idol group called Sakura Gakuin.
    Sakura was made up of girls between 10 and 15 years old dedicated to Jpop. When SuMetal (the singer) started she was 12 years old and MoaMetal/YuiMetal (the backup singers) were only 10 years old. Sakura represented the Japanese high school and the girls were distributed in clubs (traditional Japanese extracurricular activities such as cooking, swimming, basketball, sewing, etc.).
    One of the producers, a lover of heavy metal, saw that Su's singing could perfectly be used in metal and asked permission from the Mother House (Amuse) to create the heavy music club, proposing an experiment in fusion between metal and the pop. Nobody, as they themselves have confessed, had much hope for its outcome, but they gave it the green light and thus BabyMetal, Sakura Gakuin's heavy music club, was born.
    The first songs were intended for girls between 10 and 15 years old, who were Sakura's target audience. However, their quality and the fusion between pop and metal attracted attention beyond this audience and they began to frequent their metal concerts... a shocking audience of children and metalheads.
    And it worked, it worked so well that they began to support groups like Metallica, Red Hot, BMTH or Lady Gaga, I seem to remember, on their tours in Japan. And the Red Hot singer commented that he was impressed to realize that part of the public came to see them, not them.
    And so the base of BabyMetal fans grew. Sakura was a group in which, upon turning 15, the members had to leave (to pursue their careers elsewhere) and the producer (KobaMetal) requested permission again to create BabyMetal as an independent group. Success was already beginning to become a reality in Asia, so they authorized it, although Moa and Yui (they were still 13 years old) would also continue to be part of other Sakura clubs (I don't know when the poor girls studied, but they did).
    In 2014 a milestone would arrive in the group's history. They were already an established metal group in Asia that sold out concerts, but they had not yet made the leap to the West. In that year his song "Gimme Chocolate" rose to fame on RUclips (currently 182M views) and attracted the attention of the producers of the Sonisphere festival. KobaMetal had doubts about taking the step, since their musical proposal (Kawaii Metal or Cute Metal, a genre of which they are considered creators) might not be accepted in the West and the metalheads who went to the Sonisphere had a reputation for saying goodbye to very bad manners to the artists they didn't like (even with bottles full of urine), but they were offered to go to one of the secondary stages (about 5000 spectators) and they ended up accepting.
    But the success of BabyMetal on RUclips and the fact that all the concerts they were going to give in Europe were sold out in a few days, convinced the producers to take them to the main stage, where they would share with groups like Metallica, for example.
    How many girls (they were between 16 and 14 years old at that time) were "terrified" before going out, and they didn't know what scared them more: that they wouldn't understand their music and they would have to run away or that when they went out on stage it would be empty. .
    But the story was very different, not only was it not empty, but more than 50,000 metalheads, an estimated 95% of whom had never heard of them, finished their fifth and last song chanting "another one, another one."
    And that's how they achieved popularity in the West as well.
    They currently have 4 albums on the market:
    -Babymetal (2013): Their first album and the most childish of all, since they were between 15-13 years old when it came out and had energetic, positive music that left a smile on their faces. Headbangers is from this album.
    -Metal Resistence (2016): an album that, without losing the essence of the first, shows more mature music, going from childhood to adolescence. Songs like Karate were a large part of his presentation in the West.
    -Metal Galaxy (2018): a turning point in its style. Without abandoning their energy, they turned their attention to new forms of metal fusion (hip-hop, dance music, Hindu music or European folklore, among others), projecting a much more mature music in keeping with their age, which was already around 21 years old. of Su and the 18 of Moa (unfortunately Yui left the group due to health problems)
    And now in 2023 they have just released their new album "The Other One", which is, again, totally different from what they have done until now (one of the hallmarks of BabyMetal is that their songs are usually very different some from others (although they are all positive adrenaline releases)
    Currently BabyMetal is considered the most important Heavy Metal group in Japan (I'm not saying the best, that's for everyone to decide) and the most influential in history in the West (it has reached levels that no other Japanese heavy group has reached before). ).
    The journey through the Babymetal galaxy may be long, but it is certainly entertaining and with a few songs it drags you with a smile into the fox hole.

    Wall of death. good times. basically yeah, Su tells the crowd to part, they do as instructed, then bam...run towards the wall when it goes off...brave...insane...protect your face and its all fun. go in head first and you're gonna have a bad time (and potential concussion).
    So yeah, wall of death is what happened. then it evolved into a circle pit (mostly just running in circles). mosh pit is a bit like a circle pit but with lots of violence, so...yeah, not soo much violence, mostly just running in circles..some bumping of course but its mostly just for the vortex effect verses some smashing against each other. Both can be cathartic mind you, but circle pits require less first aid afterwards.
    Lore in a nutshell: Kami Bands are the spirits..japanese lore stuff actually. They now separated into 2 bands (east and west) but the white robe days..my favorite time. (they replaced one of the backup singers also...not intentionally, just one became unwell so ultimately quit for health concerns..took them like 5 years to replace her spot to just this year).
    This song, when it came out, got me from curious and intrigued but still dismissing them as a gimmick to full onboard.
    I would say for videos, avoid fancam stuff..it'll just confuse you. I think next might be a good Su-metal solo called Rondo of Nightmare. Check out the band intro also.

    4:00 _"Now Pizza time (Pizza time!)"_ 🦊🤘🍕
    Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's journey🦊🤘🔥
    Nice you're back with this suggestion to follow your BM journey, just like here it was the ender for the show in this World Tour 2023, currently in Europe and UK Tour, and everyone loved to have fun with this one.
    "Road Of Resistance" is a power/speed metal song, it's one of their most epic anthem and the album version got the guitar arrangements made by Sam Totman and Herman Li from DragonForce. It's all about facing your own path without looking back.
    This was part of the Trilogy Of 2015, live at New Year Fox Festival - Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, by this time their fame was already high due to viral success on YT of Gimme Chocolate! MV, people from all over the world attended this live concert in Japan, and 20K souls witnessed this epic moment.
    With only 15 and 17 years old this moment will be forever remember when they're performing this song to reminds them all the support they got from their fans no matter where they go, either a small or big stages.
    The Kami Band here are magnificent set of elite musicians whom were send to help with the metal sound, they rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (especially the guitarists).
    They are:
    - Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording some albums.
    - Takayoshi Ohmura, god of guitar, he's Míkio' Fujioka's pupil (another beloved Kami Band guitarist who sadly past away) and a prodigy child, you'll see his recognizable pink guitar.
    - BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but his fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP.
    - Hideki Aoyama, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father is very famous in Japan music scene.
    At the end of their shows they always said "We are BabyMetal!" with the crowd, to making them sure that they're part of this show and project too, is a line borrowed to X-Japan saying it at live concerts too.
    Next suggestion;
    - Catch Me If You Can with Kami Band intro live at Budokan 2014.
    See you next time 🦊🤘🔥

    You noticed her death glare; she is famous for that look. She learned it from her dad who was a punk rocker in the 90's, that was his tough punk glare, and I am sure every time she misbehaved, she got that look from dad.

    "Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) -
    Pretty much a master class in audience control.
    The lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) had just turned 17 a couple of weeks before this January 10th, 2015 extravaganza.
    Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were 15.
    BABYMETAL believe that if a song sounds too much like one genre, then it's not a BABYMETAL song.
    You can definitely feel the speed metal component in this one though.
    This performance was at Saitama Super Arena (SSA) with a sold out crowd of over 20,000.
    Su first appeared at SSA in 2008 as the youngest member of the J-Pop trio Karen Girl's, when she was 10 years old.
    She's been back many times since headlining with BABYMETAL.

    Good one, thanks!
    What you experienced is called sensory dissonance and it's totally normal. Each of us has experienced it to a greater or lesser extent at the beginning. Specially when you are an old school lifelong metalhead like me. But it's what they do. They define themselves as the mix of metal and "kawaii" (cute) and they deliver what they announce.
    On stage, they are playing a character: Su-metal is the leader and she obviously provides the lead vocals and the fierce (death) glares as she is in control of the entire venue although she can act also cute. While Yui and Moa (now Moa and Momoko) are in charge of the main part of the choreo, backing vocals and crowd control. And that implies the more "kawaii" aspect.
    "Kami" means god or spirit in Japanese. And the band takes that name because they represent the "god" or "spirit" of each instrument. And that's also why they wear traditional burial robes and white face paint. In 2019 they changed to darker robes and masks.
    You could try this one next: "Catch me if you can" (Live at Budokan Black Night): ruclips.net/video/YiAJeKgufMk/видео.html

I’m closer to your size (sir) and I’m positive your wife is still taller (no offense, just westerner like me), than these women. The absolute power that Su-Metal has over the crowd, even at this early period is simply unmatched. I listen to countless other Japanese groups daily and none of them (I mean unequivocally zero of them) match the performance of these, now women. Tiny - yes. Massive in heart; you bet!

    Road of Resistance is so good. Instant hit in my book. Since your first reaction I was hooked and I have been diving in checking out a lot of their songs. I gotta say that my favourites outside of this one is Megitsune and Monochrome. Monochrome also has a really cool version that they did at "The First Take" (which is basically when artists gets one chance to sing one of their songs completely live).
    I will drop links for all the stuff I mentioned down below. From what I've gathered the live stuff is really the ones to check out as that is where both the girls and the band really shine. Su's voice is just amazing and really stands out from most metal-related singers. I just love it! Great that you guys are going to check out more.

    I told you I'd be back! 😉 An excellent choice for your second reaction - BABYMETAL is, indeed, an extravaganza! What Mrs. Coach noticed about Su-metal (the "middle one") is what is generally known as the "Su-metal death stare" - very intense! My first exposure to BABYMETAL was with their video of "Gimme Chocolate!!", and I wasn't quite sure if I should like this or not. That's when I watched more and was hooked!
    Now, at the risk of repeating a lot that you probably already know, a quick synopsis:
    BABYMETAL has been around for a bit over twelve years now (they started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (or the “Greek chorus” as I like to call them - officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the band in 2018, and only earlier this year Momometal (Momoko Okazaki) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band ("gods of music") - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer. As for those who were dressed as skeletons, they are known as the "Babybones", a mime band who are not actually playing the instruments but just putting on a show. When BABYMETAL was first starting out, it was a question of money: they couldn't afford session musicians at every concert so they performed to a backing music track with the Babybones doing their thing.
    BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! With BABYMETAL, expect the unexpected - they have a talent for pressing the "WTF?!" button. They have, to date, four studio albums, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. If you have a notion to check out more BABYMETAL, here are some suggestions along with recommended versions:
    Doki Doki Morning (official music video)
    Iine! (official MV)
    Gimme Chocolate!! (official MV or Legend 1997 Apocalypse version)
    Megitsune (official MV)

    Metalizm (official MV)
    Metali!! (official MV)
    I would include the links but, for some reason, RUclips sometimes thinks I'm posting spam and will delete my comment. For the links, see the RUclips playlist “BABYMETAL Top Twenty”; it is a mix of MV’s and live performances, is more or less in historical sequence, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list.

    The crowd involvement (mosh pit, call & response, chant etc.) occurs wherever they go on this planet. This song is played in every show including their 2023 North American tour with DETHKLOK (29 gigs) and ongoing EU/UK tour (20 gigs) and the audience went and will go nuts. 😄
    In your video, Su shouted some words at 12:48 meaning "Bring them on!". Fans analyzed that the provocative shout was thrown at people who had been ignoring, underrating, mocking, hating and even trying to discredit BABYMETAL. That shout may have been necessary in 2015 but not any longer. She shouted it rarely since then or when she does, it is with her mild voice and friendly smile that I love. The girls have grown up into beautiful ladies. The maturity has added more attractiveness to this band. Please react to videos including recent ones to explore BM more.

    You say you cannot be in that circle pit at your age..... I was 74 when I ran in their circle pit during "Road of Resistance", twirling a towel and high-fiving fans around us this January in Japan.
    I was trying to get tickets to the Blue Ridge Festival in VA this summer, when my two daughters pleaded me not to go, telling me that is not where a 75 year old should be wandering around. When I said I ran in the circle pit in Japan, they said,"Those pits in Japan are lame (or was it tame?)" Either way, you should try going to one of their live shows in Japan... and you are definitely not in your 70s, so no problem. Their stage construction is something to experience.

    Great reaction - and that battle in your head with how these are things that shouldn't work together and them warping your mind ... as Su-metal once said "Don't think. Feel." Just embrace the extravaganza of the visuals, audio and every other sense.
    Talking of Su-metal - she is in charge when she is on stage - a gesture, a look and everybody does as she says. Off stage she is Suzuka Nakamoto, one of the sweetest, most humble and appreciative young ladies you could ever hope to meet.
    This video was from January 2015 at the Saitama Super Arena. Su was 17, Yui and Moa only 15 and that was over 20,000 people completely under their control. Even at that age Su just looks at the crowd, spreads her arms and the crowd opens up for a wall of death (ie they separate and as the music starts they charge at each other from either side) and that evolved into the circle pit.
    This was also the end of a 90 minute concert - they had been keeping that same energy up without any drop in quality for the whole time. It is what they do - they appreciate people have often paid a lot of money and travelled a long way to see them, they never give anything less than 100% for every song at every concert, whether that is one of their big arena concerts in Japan or at the many various sized venues as they tour the world.
    About the song itself - 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about forging your own road even where a road doesn't already exist, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way.
    It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow.
    Herman Li and Sam Totman from British Power/Speed metal band DragonForce did the guitar arrangements for this song (it is the only one they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version. They have said they made this more technical and faster than most of their own songs thinking they would never have to play it live ... and that they had to practice hard when they did perform it with BABYMETAL at an awards show in London later in 2015.
    This was the Kami Band playing live of course, each one of them is a world class musician (also kami means god or spirit, so in BABYMETAL lore they are the gods of guitar, bass and drums summoned from the dead to support BABYMETAL in the Metal Resistance ... which explains the corpse paint and white burial robes).
    If you watch very early videos you may see see people wearing skeleton suits waving guitars and drumsticks - that was not the Kami Band, that was guys called Babybones and they were actors and dancers pretending to play the instrumentrs before BABYMETAL could afford to hire live musicians.
    In this concert the Kami Band were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars (Takayoshi has the glitter pink guitar) with BOH on his 6 string bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.

    Welcome back to your journey. I think this is something we've all gone through, it takes a bit to get your head wrapped around it, which is part of the point the lead singer goes for. She wants you to see a concert and at the end go "what was that?" One of their goals is to shake up the music establishment, and they are doing that.
    At the start Su opened the pit, which then became a wall of death with both sides crashing into each other, and morphed into a circle pit.
    For the next song I would recommend Metali! feat. Tom Morello, either the video (which is excellent) or a recent live performance at Summer Sonic 2023. This is where they are today.
    Kitsune up!

    Coach, looks like you were feeling that Dragonforce style guitar solo before the crowd participation chant. Herman Li was a part of the team for that.
    If you do end up reacting to more BM, I've got a little tidbit for you! Hold your hand out, fingers spread, palm away from you. Without bending them, bring thumb, middle, and ring fingers together. You well end up with something similar to "Metal Horns" but also kind of canine like.

Ich bin so dankbar für diese Revolution und Genre Erweiterung. Es beunruhigt mich jedoch, dass es ausser BM kaum eine weitere Kawai-Metal Band gibt... Was wenn sie in ein paar Jahren aufhören????

    @jaegermeister798 10 месяцев назад +2

    Everything you mentioned was my reaction to Headbanger Legend 1997, a version of the last song you reacted to that I recommend you watch on your own time, if not on your channel. It was contradicting but I knew it came from a culture where these things are normal and I just ran with it as a serious thing. As the song progressed and I became increasingly immersed, by the time it came to the “breakdown” where Yui and Moa (the side dancers) started firing the fog guns, I was into it and it felt so metal. I mean that “evil dark” vibe that you would get from a performance of Enter Sandman and such, the music and performance was on point. When the camera zoomed in on Su’s death stare with the red lighting and everything, that vibe hit it’s pinnacle and it felt like I was experiencing a true heavy metal experience like any other epic show. But then the next shot shows Moa’s adorable smiling face as she pans past the camera while shooting her fog gun and it reminded me of what was still going on, “it’s cute metal, get it?”. The self-awareness of what was actually happening instantly shattered my immersion all the while the music and performance still carried on, kept me hooked, and kept the adrenaline going. It was like I was being played a fool the whole time and I allowed it to happen and even enjoyed it. Imagine being an audience member at a circus and being convinced to take part in some hypnotic trick for shits and giggles and you end up having a psychedelic trip in the process. It was nothing short of a heavy metal religious experience for me. This experience would be dialled up 11 with their Babymetal Death Legend 1997 performance, which I hope you will eventually get around to watching after seeing a few more of their shows. It is heavy, it hits hard, and the theatrics are by far the best you will ever witness in the history of metal. METAL AS FUCK, is the best way to describe what happens on that stage.

    BabyMetal is great. Years back when I first heard them I was just like you was confused and thinking this should not work but it is. I loved going down that fox hole and learning and listening to what they have done over the past 10 plus years. Even better it lead me to even more Japanese rock and metal bands that have become some of my favorites like Nemophila, BandMaid, LoveBites and Hanabie Which you might like some of those bands too not to mention they are all female bands too. You two should try to check them out sometime in future.Japan has many great musicians and many of them are female. Some more suggestions for BabyMetal Rondo of Nightmare which is just Sumetal(the lead singer by herself.) Also Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 which was there big breakout show outside of Japan. Megitsune which is a big fan fav and one of most popular. They have alot of newer stuff out now too which is cool and great songs but more adult and different like Monochrome Live. They are all in their early mid 20s now. but their old stuff is a must watch IMO to learn where they started and what got them to 10plus years. Oh and Su does have a great metal death stare but she is a sweetheart if you met her in person.

    I didn't get Babymetal at first. "You got cute cheerleaders in my heavy metal!!?!" And like Coach, my brain fought to process two different visions of what a song / concert / performance should or even could be. Each song I heard, each lyric I learned, the picture came into focus, until I finally had that revelatory moment. It was my 5th Babymetal song, and it was Ijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonosphere 2014.
    Now they're my favorite band, my favorite team of artists out there pouring out heart and soul to make the world a better place. This is a true hero's journey in Kawaii Metal form, struggling to find a spot, carving out a place in this world, finding acceptance. Finding hate, disdain, apathy, and persevering.
    To me, the Babymetal experience does not equate to an 87 minute superhero movie, but rather a trilogy of "Lord of the Rings, Extended Edition" proportion. Some awesome music produced by supremely talented artists out there, if you turn over a rock, you'll find nothing. "I thought it sounded like a cool riff." etc. And that's fine.
    When I looked over Babymetal, and turned over rocks, I found worms and bugs, sure. But I also found encouragement, tenacity, togetherness, acceptance, and a willingness to speak out against some of the most basic problems that any one human can face.
    WE ARE BABYMETAL! We are The One! We want big plates of meat in America, and chocolate.
    And we are -not a cult-

    Early Babymetal performance was like a Harry Potter sort of books, each song meant to be a chapter of Babymetal story.
    You confused with what you see and what you heard because you stepped in from the middle of the story.
    The band behind called "Kami band", translated in English "Band of God". They all dressed white because they were all spirits. The girls dressed white once in their concert, that also meant they were spirits, and they were dead once. They dressed like little worriors in a cute way, in collor, it means they've been reborn.
    Unless you joining the fox hole from the very beginning and joined their early concert, you will be confused with all the lores and don't know what's going on. I've been there.

    Yes, the thing with what you see and what you hear... at the beginning you have difficulty putting it together in your head. cute girls with cute outfits singing about eating chocolate and the fear of gaining weight ("Give me Chocolade")...or...about the Japanese form of hide and seek ("catch me if you can")...or about a 15 year old going to her first metal concert ("Headbanger")...or just about the number 4, which is an unlucky number in Japan, like '13' ("4/4 No Uta") in the West. or even serious topics like 'bulling' ("Ijime, Dame, Zettai")...but the whole thing is accompanied by rock/heavy metal music... at the beginning you think 'how does that work?!' but it does. These artists started when they were still children. now they are women in their mid-20s. a long path filled with great music. and their journey is far from over.

    Gimme Chocolate was one of my first songs that i had heard from them. Now that one, is what you're explaining, these 2 shouldn't go together. It's absolute madness when you first listen to it, and you either hate it or love it. But if you give them a chance and start listening to their other stuff, then you will grow to love them hands down. Enjoy 🤘🤘

    It's hard to explain but, Babymetal changed my life. My first time hearing them (Gimme Chocolate) back in 2014, i was mesmerized. It was fascinating on so many levels. But what changed my life was when i went to my first Babymetal concert in NYC, that i traveled by car to see them from Houston Texas. I met so many like-minded people and made friends from all over the world. A comraderie not seen at any other shows I've ever been to. It was the most amazing feeling in the world. And that feeling and those friends i made have only gotten stronger. I even went to Japan to see them at Tokyo Dome, and had an experience of a lifetime. One of the best friends i made from Japan, has hosted me and i likewise hosted him when he came to visit Texas. Babymetal isn't just a musical group. They have become a way of life. Spreading the love and friendship that Babymetal sings about in their songs. It's not the dark, anger and angst of typical metal. It's...Hqppy metal. It's feel good metal. It gives hope and good feelings to all who listen to their message. That's why their fan base is called The One. Because we are all One in spirit. Long live The Fox God!!

      ​@@CoachCastTVcan suggest a song from them? Try Monochrome. One of their newest songs. So you can see how far they've come in over ten years. Then try Doki Doki Morning, their very first single released when they were 12 and 10 years old. That way you get both spectrums of their career. Just a suggestion.

    Thank you for your wonderful action. This video is said to be a "legendary stage." The reason is that this video was an "encore song" after all the performances had finished, and the girls were 16 to 17 years old. Also, backing them up during this period was a group called "KAMIBAND", and all the performers were world-class performers. Of course, the singers' singing and dancing performances were also top-notch. The lyrics of this song are also great, so please look for an English translation. Look at a lot of baby metal from this era.

    Regarding the band performers (musicians)
    * The bones - are just stage performers that were only present when they were just starting out for their first few years (dont really play their just acting out)
    * The Japanes Kami Band (the ones with Face painted face and white robes) - they are considered the original and are indeed Kami(Godly) musicians which started to be with them with their Japan tours
    * The Western Kami Bands (black robes with face masks) - these are the guys that performs mostly in US and with other world tours as the Japanese Kami bands have busy schedule as well as they are not solely performing entirely for BabyMetal but they have their own gigs as well.

    What you saw at the beginning was called a "Wall of Death" - Su-Metal indicated for the crowd to part, and then rush into each other before moving to the circle pit.
    FYI, the white robes and face paint are representative of spirits and ghosts in Japan.
    Don't worry - BABYMETAL is confusing to most people when they first encounter them, but you will totally get on board and "get it" as you react to more of their stuff. They invented their own metal subgenre called "Kawaii Metal", (which means cute metal), and, frankly, its genius and I'm sure you will come to think so too as time goes on. This group is flat out amazing and one of the best, most interesting things happening in metal today, not to mention one of the absolute best live performing bands in the world today - their arena shows are legendary.
    I took to BABYMETAL immediately because I've been a huge fan of the Japanese music scene for many years (currently the best in the world in my opinion). Besides BABYMETAL, there is a very thriving metal scene in Japan, including many all-girl metal and rock bands, as well as alternative idol (also known as Alt-Idol) groups that blend metal with traditional pop idol structures and aesthetics.
    Make no mistake, Su-Metal is fierce - she is famous for her death stare, and her charisma and ability to control a crowd. This only becomes truer the older she gets.
    As for recommendations, there are so many potential possibilities. BABYMETAL has been recording and performing for over 13 years (since the girls were around ages 11-13) and they have a first-rate and diverse musical catalog with many different styles of metal (and other genres of music) incorporated into their music. I'll just suggest a few next:
    Monochrome (live version) - This song is from their most recent album and most recent tour. It is a softer song with much personal meaning to them, especially Su-Metal. Be sure to turn on the captions as there are translated lyrics in the clip I have linked to: ruclips.net/video/XJZhy7fWNyY/видео.htmlsi=lGx0uJiiVYgshpHz
    B.M.C. (live compilation) - This is BABYMETAL's metal-rap fusion song that is also an ode to gaming - very cool stuff. This link also has available subtitles: ruclips.net/video/HMzaWcunMO4/видео.htmlsi=go4vbOpyT0rcwsVP
    Brand New Day (live compilation) - This is probably my favorite track from BABYMETAL's third album (Metal Galaxy). The album version of the song features Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage, and just has amazing guitar compositions and song structure. It also has a very catchy yet edgy vibe. Once again, this link has subtitles: ruclips.net/video/BSwYAvAR2kM/видео.htmlsi=q8RnZXX7-lP6SFPK
    Okay, that should hold you for a while. Enjoy your trip down the foxhole.
