I forgot to ask everyone if there are any good interviews out there? I feel like I want to get to know about them more, since all I've seen is their performances.
There are plenty of interview videos out there, from the early days up to 2023. Also several magazines did interviews with them and printed them. There are also a couple of videos available where the girls commented their early music videos which are super fun to watch.
I like this appearance on Japanese TV (NHK), it's from 2020:
ruclips.net/video/Dr2gQ896fa0/видео.html
They performed BxMxC, a very popular and unique song, and then they did a short interview afterwards. The video has English subtitles. Seeing them in a TV studio is a bit different from all the other interviews and performances, except the one time they performed "Gimme Chocolate" American TV.
Here are a few interview suggestions:
1). 2013 Music Dragon Interview (with subs):
ruclips.net/video/5FcQTghXWr8/видео.htmlsi=3_KtzV3TDitIvbaw
2). 2023 Fox 5 NY Interview (hard coded subs):
ruclips.net/video/9DRnP4m-tc0/видео.htmlsi=XoRiIChurI9R9NJ9
Yeah, there is a lot. There's a 3,5 hour compilation of Interviews, sounds a lot, but definitely worth watching (you could part it to several reactions)
🤟🦊🤟キツネだお🤟🦊🤟
Also, if you’re interested in a deep dive into the foxhole, do a reaction to CrypticMisery’s “Everything You Need to Know About Babymetal, Updated”. Great guide, ~40min so.
Great reaction.🦊"The PIA Arena was the place to be" ... true, but exactly the same can be said for every concert they do, wherever and whenever - it was the place to be.🤘🦊🤘
They keep that same energy up without any drop in quality for the entirety of every concert. 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 like this one or at the many various sized venues as they tour the world.
About the song itself - they debuted 'Road of Resistance' in London in December 2014 before anybody even knew what it was called. Apparently Yui insisted they play it there for the first time as a thank you to the UK fans and it has become a sort of anthem or signature song for them ever since.
More often than not it is used to close the shows (at the PIA Arena Clear Night it was actually the second song of the night).
The official video is also a live performance (and one of the official videos that uses the live audio too) and was only the third time they'd played it live, but it was the first time they played it at a big arena show in Japan. The staging for that was quite special and Su has said that part of that performance is one of her fondest memories ... if you watch it you will know exactly which part of the performance she was talking about.
'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 believing in yourself, 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 in 2015.
This was the Kami Band (of the West) playing live of course and all Kami Band members (East or West) are incredible musicians ... they have to be given that every BABYMETAL song is different and they incorporate and include so many different musical styles and genres with all the different metal genres too.
I will have to remember the kami bands names! Amazing dragonforce did that. I didn't even know they did that for babymetal. Amazing
Great reaction, thanks!
They had a number of reasons to be happy at that concert. It was the first one with Momometal who was announced the previous day as a full-fledged member with huge acclamation by the audience. And this was the actual first song with their new outfits after the opening number with "METAL KINGDOM" which has specific ones.
Yes, I have one of these flags, only that mine has the previous logo still including Moa's hearts and Yui's skull (I need a newer one, hehe...).
🤘🦊
That's awesome. I could tell this was a very special moment for them and the fans.
When the queen is happy all is well👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
In general Su and Moa seemed very happy in 2023. Many people have remarked, and I saw it myself, about how happy they seemed on their tours. There were lots of smiles, lots of fun and games on stage, etc.
All three looked so happy. I'm glad
It has seemed to me that the permanent addition of the delightful Momo to the line up has just boosted the amount of infectious joy on the stage. I feel she has just brought a great energy and Babymetal just seems so right as a trio.
I watched almost every concert last year through fan videos and I noticed the same thing, they were smiling all the time and having fun. Momo has been a real blessing to us fans and Su and Moa! Can't wait for 10 more years of what they have in store for us!
BABYMETAL concerts are fun but the memory of every concert fades away... it really is a dream come true 😊🌈🦊.
Time to make more memories!
@@Hokkyo11 I'm sure you'd understand if you attended the concert too.
Dream memories don't last long... that's why you'll want to return to BABYMETAL concerts over and over again!😀😀😀
I would give a kidney to have anyone of their actual flags!!Su’s Moa’s or Momo’s!!
About Happy Su and the crowd interactions: I have been to 5 BABYMETAL concerts and I still can't figure it out whether it is us, the fans, who go to concerts to see BABYMETAL, or it is them who go to concerts to see us, the fans. It's just so much energy on both sides. I have never seen anything like this in any music genre.
I am so with you on the PIA Arena shows. Every single song I've heard from those two nights are just knock it out of the ballpark fire. I'd say follow your gut. For what it's worth it's working for me. Great job.
Thank you
👍👍👍"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational BABYMETAL!" 🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤
Merging BM with Star Wars, well done......well done indeed.....
@@graxusgaming9889 Do you know that they now have Darth Vader (Criss Kelly) on guitar?😉 🦊 🖖 ❤
The smirk on Moa's face as if saying, "the flag did not get me this time!" Lol (there are clips out there where the flag drapes over her head and she tries to shake it off. Also happened to Momo, but she just lets it stay until time to pull it in front of her).😂
Thats funny, Moa-metal is always giving us faces
You are not alone. Seeing BabyMetal perform makes everyone ask questions, even the gatekeepers. No matter how many times I see and hear them they continue to grow in my estimations. They are, in my opinion, the best performers alive.
Great reaction! I'm glad that you are understanding that this is more than just music. There's a very emotional component to BABYMETAL that many outside the community don't understand. They enrich our lives, and as you said, we enrich theirs. I enjoy the air of positivity that surrounds them a lot.
From hearing what fans have said about them I can tell how special they are for many. It doesn't take that long to figure out. For me, I find music as more then music and having groups like this that can speak to their fanbase is amazing!
This comment wins the internet, so damn well said! BM is so much more than good music, they are a full experience that must be seen and heard live. If a person gives them more than one listen or view they will discover something special that can really change your life for the better.
I simplify it all by saying Babymetal is also very wholesome.
The version of this song from Legend 2015: The New Year Fox Festival on their official channel is worth seeing. It's sort of considered the definitive version of the song for reacting to.
Oddly enough, at this performance, they did RoR as the second song of the night. Normally it is the finale of the main set before they do the encore.
Babymetal pits are rowdy but not too rough, but it varies from country to country. In Japan they were pretty chill, but when I saw them in Australia, the pit was a fair bit rougher. I think it honestly depends on the country where the concert is being held. I was at this show, and the crowd blocks were actually kind of small, which made it kind of hard to get good mosh pits going. Still, it was an amazing show regardless.
Su-metal is in her element on stage. She has been singing professionally since she was ten years old, and she has been the lead vocalist of Babymetal for more than half her life. She's a born performer who absolutely lights up the stage whenever she is on it. The first time I saw Babymetal live, my single biggest takeaway from the experience was how absolutely mesmerizing and powerful her stage presence is, and it's something that video doesn't really convey so I wasn't at all ready for it.
There is so much more to Babymetal and I'm so happy for all thr info. That makes sense when it comes to the crowds in different countries. They wanted to change things up haha
Su has max charisma. Like really off the charts.
Well it was the end of their concert and the, realized that they still pull the audience wirh their new line up, contrary to so many memes. It was in theory the start of their World Tour.
And in fact this is a significant oart of their real importance. They have about 40% female Followers and an age range between 5 and 85. That's unusual for metal. In Japan Metal is still a rather limited audience but Babymetal is above this fanbase. But that they then were able to make their international debut so huge was totally unexpected. They are not the most succesfull band in Japan but they are the most successful japanese Band international. That is the reason why many japanese Metal Ba ds are also Babymetal fans. Their japanese promoters react much more relaxed. As an example Band Maid was born at the same time as Babymetal but their success only happened recently. They made a tour through the US and when they had a blackout the girls had to improvise. So they tryed to add some of their i.provisations to their normal tour program. This gave their management enough trust that they booked bigger locations in japan. If you consider Babymetal has over 4.000 guests oer performance while BandMaid had to work with 300 per performance for years and now they also fill huge arenas.
I agree. Back when I was living in Japan in the 2010s, metal wasn't very popular among my Japanese friends. But my friends from Europe were so hyped to here japanese metal. Actually the reason I knew about baby metal back the was my international friends.
Excellent reaction and an amazing performance. To answer some of your questions / ad a few tidbits:
*1). Backdrop:* 2nd song EVER with Momo being official, she was made official the day before. 2nd concert since return from almost 2-year hiatus. Kami Band also stabilized with Kami West as primary. Babymetal is about to embark on their intense ~100 show world tour.
*2). Su’s happy:* She wasn’t sure how the fan turn out will be after hiatus, and to see this many fans return with unflinching support must be amazing. Also, first time they were “whole” since Yui’s departure in 2018, must be a sense of relief on stability and future.
------
While you should freely enjoy this journey your way, there are a few exceptions/suggestions worth noting:
1). There are reasons we suggest specific song versions - some are just absolutely epic, some have special segments missing in other shows, and some for video/copy right reasons on youtube. If you see multiple suggestions for same version, I would trust the ONE.
2). Live better than MV. BUT, if you plan to do a re-watch/2-views in same reaction, then I would suggest the MV first, then live.
3). “For the Fox God” channel has best concert videos with solid subtitles. A few other channels are great too, but may not be as comprehensive/missing subtitles.
4). Babymetal’s channel: “Official” = MV or live footage with studio audio. “Official Live” is usually with live audio. This makes a big diff due to Kami Band not in studio recordings.
5). Avoid compilations when possible. They’re just not that great. And, originally done for copyright. However, not as pertinent recently.
Sorry for long rant lol, hope it helps!
🤘🦊
Don't ever feel bad telling me things. I am enjoying and I want everyone to enjoy with me. I hope people can remember their journey through my reactions. As for MV then Live reaction, I'll give it a go on my next reaction. Also thank you for always giving me info and commenting
@@Hokkyo11 my pleasure, thanks for the reactions!
Excellent info and I agree on the For the Fox God videos, they are great. Also agree @Hokkyo11 to do music video+live as double reaction, IF BM has a music video, many songs don't. Some compilations are done really well but I usually prefer a normal live performance.
@@graxusgaming9889 Thanks! Yeah, IIRC, only ~ 10? Maybe 11 MV, including “visualizer”. Rest are some form of live. But the MVs are good and worth a look, especially iine.
Actually, my next planned reaction is iine, so I'll do the MV and live together in one. Maybe let me know which songs I should also react to the MVs too.
"The One" loves you and you love "The One". Long live Babymetal, long live my Queen ! ✨🦊✨

"Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) -
You do your journey through Babymetal in the order you want to do them in, after all it is your journey. 🤘🦊🤘
Thank you!!
The older concerts are just as crazy if not more. The girls can't do as much as they used to
The live in Tokyo vid of Road of Resistance is also awesome, but my fave is the Metal Galaxy concert, where you had all the Avengers on stage AND both Eastern and Western Kami Bands on stage... that was epic. 😁🤘🦊🤘
Ohhh I want to see that
I recommend the song iine!, same PIA Arena 2023 concert. I recommend a recent upload of it in the last couple months, as older ones are compressed audio from an old internet stream of it. Also MIrror Mirror, same concert.
That's actually next on my list for a Babymetal reaction!!
One of us! Welcome to The One ❤🦊🤘#notacult 😅
The emotional impact of their songs doesn't diminish over time, they are such a force for positivity.
You asked about what it's like in the moshpit - I was surprised about how caring and respectful everyone in a BM pit treats each other. Fell over? 10 people are right there to pick you up. Too short? The taller folks look out for you. Night and day difference compared to every other mosh pit i ever experienced.
Thats awesome!
Dude, your BM reactions are really great! You really show attention to details and show that you are really absorbing info about them, thanks for this. I am a newer fan to BM myself, about 9 months now, still learning more. To add to your comment about BM uplifting a person and changing a persons life? This is so true with music period, so many people are saved by good music and BM is certainly in that category. I myself thankfully have never been in a real dark place, but thankfully since I have been enjoying BM on a regular basis they always put me in a positive and upbeat mood. The lyrics, sound, and vibe that the girls give off is so infectious that they really make the world a better place. I'm always sad that I missed out on 10 years of BM, especially with Yui, but thankful that I at least now get to enjoy them. Take your time enjoying this journey and I look forward to seeing every one of you BM videos, keep them coming!
As to your comment about not saying much or saying the same thing, I believe it is just your natural real response to what you are seeing and hearing, a REAL reaction. Unless you are a good actor like some of the reaction people I believe yours are pretty authentic and I like your real enjoyment of the artists and music. I notice you got close to getting emotional a few times and that is certainly normal for many BM songs/performances, myself included for sure! RoR is their most powerful song live and a huge fan favorite as you can see why. The Whoah chant in the middle is always a special moment in the shows and with the right crowd can get any fan emotional, including the girls on stage sometimes. Even our lame American crowds do a decent job being involved at this part.
Lastly to touch on the PIA arena Black and Clear Night shows, these 2 shows are extremely important to BM for many reasons. Of course as you can see, these are top notch performances to begin with but these shows set the stage for the future of BM going forward. You probably have already been informed by legend fans like Jake or Grington but I still would like to mention. At the end of Black Night Momoko is announced as the new full member of BM, such a special moment. Between the crowd being super amazing and the girls all knowing they are becoming a full trio again had to be one of the most special 2 shows they had performed in years. As you watch many of the songs of these 2 shows you will see in the girls faces that they get emotional many times, a few times showing some tears. If you can ever get your hands on the BluRay of these 2 shows I highly recommend it, as a true BM fan you would not regret it after watching them beginning to end. Anyways, please keep sharing your BM journey with us, I will be here for every video! 😁🦊🤘
I really appreciate your comments. Music has been very important in my life so I see it as more then just music. I honestly thank all the fans that comment and tell me all the info I know. Now I really want to get to know them more so I'll be watching and reading some of their interviews.
If I was a good actor, I wouldn't be doing reactions on YT haha. Honest thoughts and reactions. Again thank you so much.
Great reaction! And +1 for noticing Moa's smirk (affectionately deemed Death Smirk). I was wondering if you would notice. Speaking of flags, I have two. Both are the old logo though so, I need to get a new one. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
I cant miss that big smirk for her!!
You are one of my best reactors. I hope you will continue your BABYMETAL journey for a long time.
Wow thank you for that comment. I really appreciate that. There's no way I could stop now. They have a good hold on me!
I have to agree, and I watch alot of BM reaction videos!
@@graxusgaming9889 thank you so much!
🦊🤘🍕
@@graxusgaming9889 🤘🦊✨
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought you were reacting to the 2020 version. Every time I watch this 2023 PIA version I keep looking at their costumes. It’s so beautiful!
Haha wrong choice for the picture! I agree with you!!
Pizza time! 🦊🤘🍕
I think some of the screams are on track but the crowd is also very loud and knows when to scream chant. Also in some sections of this song Su is harmonizing with herself on backing track if I am not mistaken. There are a couple songs where she does that.
Yah that's what I thought!! Lol
Momo-Metal ❤❤❤
nice reaction🦊Light the fire in your heart🔥
🦊🤘🍕
@@jakemuller8626 🤘🦊🍕🍫
Other notable versions of this song: the official live video on their channel comes from their 2015 SSA Arena show, an amazing one, with huge, huge mosh pits, then their Tokyo Dome Red Night, the only time they opened a show with RoR, the Legend Metal Galaxy Day 1, with a pretty crowded stage😉, finally the most "frightening" one, from their last show at Budokan X, where SU thanked all the fans for having shared with them their journey, closing the Metal Resistance cicle. And she gave us her best final "Resistance"🤩.
🤘🦊🔥
welcome to the foxhole🔥
should have watched live from Japan
I want to go see them live in Japan!
Wrong choice. OG BM is amazing. You should've taken the recommendations and listened to ROR: Live in Japan. This Pia version is great and the western Kami band does an amazing job, but there's nothing better, and unfortunately, sadder then watch older BM videos with Yui in them.
Aww Ill watch that on my own time. I cant wait to see Yui-metal
