She inherited this ears from her father and is very proud of them 🤘🦊🤘
In Asia, ears like Su-Chan's are considered very cute. 😘
Try No Rain No Rainbow from Legend S Baptism XX for another ballad song 👍👍
NRNR from the latest Budokan! Too bad the copyright goblins would never allow it.
BABYMETAL's most emotionally raw performance.
No it is not. Most emotional here : ruclips.net/video/pDgqo6fcliY/видео.html
You finally got your ballad ... and you are absolutely right about Su being able to express all the emotions so you can get the feeling of the song and what she is singing about despite not understanding a word she said. As Su once said "Don't think. Feel."
The most amazing version of Akatsuki is the one from their 10 years at Budokan, played in 2021, that mixes the classic metal song with the Unfinished, which basically is an unplugged. Unfortunately it's stil unavailable, except for some fancam. Second best, the old Akatsuki from 2014 Black Night at Budokan, she really gave everything she can at the time, in that one. Or the more recent one from Dark Carnival.
I love Akatsuki, it always gives me goosebumps.
And you may still enjoy listening to No 🌧️, No 🌈.
🤘🦊⚡
Was it worth the long wait?? 😅 it was for me. This one usually gets me but I didn't need tissues this time. You're right, Su's ears are perfect. 😁
Su's got perfect ears it's everyone else got the wrong ears . Now thats what you call putting emotions into a song .🤘❤🤘
Su shows so much emotions❤❤ she is a true queen. You can se her tears and how it cracks. Lovely 🌹
Su is amazing in every single way. Obviously her powerful vocals is the base of her career but she's more than that. Her stage presence, her charisma, the way she owns the stage, and yes her ears :) But the feature I appreciate the most is her ability to convey emotions. As you mentioned, even without understand a word of the lyrics, you get moved by the way she sings and performs. And she just turned 16 the day before. She's a hell of a performer.
She always sung ballads in her performer school days.
⚡ / 🔴 🌙
Su's sticking out ears have been one of her "charm points" since she was very little. : )
Here's a translation of the narration before the "Unfinished Version" of 'Akatsuki':
"In order to defend the soul of the Metal, in exchange for her own life,
SU-METAL fought.
Before long, SU-METAL's soul became the crimson flame,
and dyed the sky crimson.
However, as the distant stars go out,
the end of life is the law of nature.
Now the crimson moon is burning out with SU-METAL."
NOTE: This "Unfinished Version" leaves off the final two lines of the song.
"Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!".
Instead, it ends with "Going over thousands (of) nights, some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes, until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love."
Suzuka could have been an ear model (think hand model, but for products for ears) :-)
And SU is singing to a force that she has always felt 'out there' yet close by. It is a comforting presence, and she felt that it was what helped her become the crimson flame, and defeat the enemy. Now she is dying because the price for using the crimson flame's power is mortal DEATH. She sings this ballad to the force that has guided her since she was a child. Something she will be joined with in LEGEND 1997 DEATH which was played right after this song.
yeah so she could get a rat role. maybe🐭
@@AwesomeKazuaki she already did, in a musical :-) (my guess is that was your joke ?). Anyway... I've sometimes wondered if Suzuka can hear music better than most people and why she can sing so well.
@@AwesomeKazuaki She already had one ruclips.net/video/3NnNno65h-A/видео.html
Finally! You got the one you requested 👍
Akatsuki is one of those special SuMetal solo ranks up favorite for many fans for many reasons. But this one is quite unusual version with only her amazing voice and a piano.
You should watch the regular version too whenever you can, it's a blast. 🤘
There are more songs to enjoy beautiful SuMetal vocal capacity, she grown up thou so she sings different from back then and with more techniques.
SuMetal is very proud of her ears and she loves to have that from her father 😉
Keep enjoying BM songs and may the Fox God bless you.🦊🤘
Btw today is MoaMetal birthday, so yeah it would be nice to watch some special songs from her like Shine or MoaBanger at Legend M live concert.
_LIVINGLEGEND_
_10BABYMETALYEARS_
A ballad at last!
Su always impresses me, and their shows are not long. Only thing I can imagine is doing several shows a week, they are short to save wear on her voice. Maybe you can address that at some point. Akatsuki is pronounced "Akat-ski" by the way, a quirk of Japanese.
Also impressed by her two completely different emotional takes on this song, in one the warrior triumphant, this one she shows her vulnerability. I don't think she gets credit for just how good she is.
What you talking about?, She get massive amount of credit from all over the world!
@@Delvizual not from some fans of other Bands ☹ who are jealous
@@Delvizual Couple things. Inside the Babymetal Contiunuum she's a goddess, outside she gets very little attention. Also she is a very technical singer, and that rarely gets mentioned
@@Wombatmetal gets attention in Metal circles but mainstream media and music virtually nothing . I mean Poppy was nominated for mainstream award for what ? by back patting music producers and elite's in western music industry .
@@martinmetal7481 I saw them in the LA coliseum , It was a JPN worth show and it was fully supported by everyone in the know in LA. As it is new, good and different.
Su's ears are super cute.
I really enjoyed this reaction. Thanks...
Fourth time's the charm ;) Although I'm partial to this song in its more traditional metal form, this version really is heartfelt and very beautiful. I believe this was a one-time performance, exclusive to their _Legend 1997_ concert in honor of Su's birthday, which makes it all the more special.
Oh!!! Babymetal, Nice reaction MIKIMETAL!!!! 🤘😢
Nice reaction and I was starting to wonder when you would ever react to the vocals of Su-metal.....
And we all love those perfect ears, Su makes a comment on her ears doing her first self introduction for Sakura Gakuin in front of an audience!
Yes! a BABYMETAL ballad!
Finally...
One of my favorite parts about reactions, is seeing various professionals enjoying my favorites and giving their input, always learning something new.
Yes, finally! This version is just straight up beautiful and very emotional. Makes my eyes sweaty! 😁 You should definitely treat yourself to the regular version. Exact same song but, different at the same time. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
excellent content Miki-Metal, you have lovely ears, but you won't believe what happens right after this song. BABYMETAL DEATH
Let's hope if she does do Death, someone reminds her to read the description. 😜🤘🦊🤘
I didn't know this version, thanks for showing me.
Ah finally you made it to a ballad for real. Su’s voice is next level and simply perfect. This is song and performance is one of my favourites since Su is able to express so much (if you watch closely, you may notice the tear running down her cheek). And yes, her ears are perfect!
No need for me to comment, you said it so nicely ❤
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 We are moved by this song (and NRNR as well) because we are human beings. No need to read the lyrics. I am a Japanese but my nationality and literacy do not have distinct advantages to feel the emotion stirred by Su-Metal. We are actually not listening to something but embracing celestial healings.
Yes!! Thank the Fox God, finally a ballad. 🤘🏻😎🦊😂 great song and great reaction
worth the wait (ballad), nice reaction!
Rondo of Nightmare
next akatsuki live budokan..
Yay, you finally got your ballad. BabyMetal was formed around her because of her strong voice, she has to blast thru a bunch of heavy and fast music most of the time. Her Mom said she was a very loud child.
Her older sister Himeka seems like the more soft-spoken type (even when doing the "Himetan Beam!"), so I guess they've balanced each other out. I don't know anything about their oldest sister, though, so I can't really say where she fits into that dynamic. :)
Your reaction is amazingly beautiful
*looks through the comments to see how many people are happy you finally got to a real babymetal ballad* 🤣🤘🦊🤘
My favorite Akatsuki is from Wembley arena
The pillars of flames, as she's running back... Hell yeah! 🤘🦊🤘
After this version, i love the Wembley one also. Her running thru the flames is so awesome.
No rain no rainbow
We love Su's ears too 🤘🦊🤘
That was a nice and unusual compliment at the end. :-)
There is a nice story about "No Rain, no Rainbow", their second emotional ballad: The writing of the song had been completed in time for the first album. But Su, who was 16 when it was released, said that she didn't feel ready to sing the song the way it needed to be sung. So they postponed it and included it on the second album.
I think this says a lot about ther passion, conscientiousness, self awareness and general character. I find it pretty amazing for a girl that age. And if you watch the performance of the song at "Legend S", you'll see that she is obviously in it with her heart and soul.
best version
Stephen Colbert also has an issue with one of his ears. I think one sticks out and the other stays flat against his head. Su's are often visible through her hair, but it's not usually noticeable because she has a ponytail most of the time. Very cute.
The shape of Su-metal's ears can make her hear farther and more clearly. XDDD
No Rain no Rainbow !!
I gotta say I don't usually watch reaction clips but was kinda interested to see. It's really nice to see someone who actually listens before breaking it down rather than blurting in every 2 seconds n making it mainly about them. Nice one!
And this is how a little funny gig that was merging idols and metal transformed into a world phenomenon and the most succesful japanese band out of Japan ever. This little girl is a concentrated unit of talent. And at this point, being already good, she was only sixteen and had barely started to train her voice. She is a lot better now. You should check No Rain, No Rainbow, at Legend S in 2017 or in Budokan in 2021.
Oh and the ears, it's very funny, there is a lot of shots in their shows with dark luminosity and lights around where all of her is in shadows and her ears look illuminated xD She is aware of her things.
Ah yes, and to end, this was a special instrumental version of Akatsuki they made for her 16th birthday. Akatsuki is originally a lot heavier, an unofficial tribute song that echoes Kurenai from X-Japan.
Such a beautiful performance. In true Babymetal form Su is crucified in the next song. Now that’s rock and roll that’s METAL. Great reaction again. Thank you.
you might like to see/hear her performance of Monochrome on the First Take RUclips channel. It's also mostly just her voice, with quiet piano/violin accompaniment. Or, possibly The One
My favourite version of Akatsuki. I always say, this performance is more like by Suzuka Nakamoto, and not SuMetal. It's so moving, especially the end part when she collapsed down, and her voice sounded 'fragile', like it's breaking, the imperfections in that part perfectly captured the emotion of the song. So good!
Su's sticking out ears, snaggle teeth (now straightened), hyper extension joints and manic dance style are all part of her kawaii.
The ""Unfinished Akatsuki" is my favorite version. There are themes of sacrifice and lasting love in the song and now consider that this performance comes between the manic energy of "Headbanger" and the insanity of the "Babymetal DEATH" finale. Akatsuki is translated as "Crimson Moon" and there is lots of red imagery in the lyrics including the crimson thread that links lovers and soulmates. Su starts the song from the same position on the platform as she finished Headbanger. Its a great trilogy of songs that takes Su from schoolgirl to rebirth as a metal goddess...yeah I know, just go with it. This performance also shows off Su's experience in musical theater and ability to emote and communicate with the audience and remember, she's just turned 16 here.
There is video from when she was around 8 to 10 singing with that same power during her days at the Actor School of Hiroshima. ruclips.net/video/duhdJveECDY/видео.html
Please compare this version to the complete, power metal version. Then, BABYMETAL's only pure slow ballad, No Rain, No Rainbow.
i see you haven't reacted to the "finished" version of this song with the kami band. as beautiful this stripped down version is,the one with kami band is simply amazing. su-metal's voice is so strong she can keep up with the level of intensity the kami band brings to the song. her stage presence is dynamic as well in the "finished" version. i recommend the fox festival 2017 version with english subtitles. the lyrics are very powerful and poetic at the same time. the you tube channel "for the fox god" has the fox festival version as well as a wide variety of babymetal live performances with english subtitles. please revisit this song soon! its become one of my absolute favorites.
AKATSUKI は歌詞も含めて、SuMETAL が広島出身と言うのも含めて聴くと涙が止まらないです。
SuMETAL が歌うからこその 意味を成す最高の楽曲だと思います。個人的にはAMORE も。←普通歌詞に「愛よ地球を救え」なんて壮大過ぎて歌詞に力負けする、だけど日本で最も平和を願う土地柄の一つで生まれ育ったSuMETAL だからこそ成り立つ歌。
Yay a true ballad, maybe try the version with full band to see the difference
The trilogy. Headbanger, Akatsuki and Babymetal Death ❤❤❤
Next Suzuka solo: Tamashii no Rufuran - ruclips.net/video/CAyXmAogAeA/видео.html
This was cover of another song from anime Neon Genesis: Evangelin
中元すず香!!!
Is the audio and video out of sync on this? None-the-less I enjoyed the reaction. Good to finally see a true ballad as requested.
Now - No Rain, No Rainbow from Legend S
Chuck Norris once challenged Su-Metal to a sing-off. You don't hear about Chuck Norris anymore.
I love how respectful the Japanese audience is, they don't clap inappropriately at pauses in the music, they wait until the end. Thanks to that, we have the immaculate live recording to enjoy.
How come all Chuck Norris jokes are funny?
This song is very sad because the next one is BABYMETAL DEATH legend 1997 (complete).
Akatsuki Unfinished version is my number one among other versions and the second will be Akatsuki at Wembley and Akatsuki at Budokan.
Great reaction, the unfinished version of Akatsuki is still my favorite, really sad that she only performed it once. If you want to hear another ballad you should check out No Rain No Rainbow, at Legend S.
Nice reaction. Su's ability to convey emotion at 16 was amazing. Su's ability to do that now is show stopping glorious. And team Babymetal as Moa refers to it, knows how to get that staging just right. I think one of the reasons Su wears her hair the way she does is to show off those ears. Helps keep folks from looking her in the eyes. Su's legendary death glare with steal your soul. Moa says when Su sings it's like an angel came down. Now who could argue with that. When your band mates say things like that, it says a lot.
Ooh, a ballad! I've been waiting for you to try one of Su's ballads! 🤣🦊👍 There is another version of this that's excellent too - ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html - but of course we're all looking forward to seeing you react to "No Rain, No Rainbow" at Hiroshima which is from 4 years after this performance of Akatsuki (pronounced Ak-at-skee, as the 'u' is silent, and it means 'Red Moon') and when Su's voice had got even better. Thanks for this great reaction - as always. 🦊🦊🦊
From this to monochrome piano version. You can compare her voice evolution
Not gonna gloss over things, Su has had cracks and tinnie mistakes in some of her stages through the years, but who hasn't. Going back to old videos like these actually make you realize how far she has come as a singer, I am proud. What didn't change about her, what has always been there with Su is the ability of her voice to cut through all that metal and rise above the shredding and the drums never getting buried under the instruments, that power carrying with it the raw emotion Su projects and it just slams into you no matter the language barrier...it's just phenomenal, it makes her so special and tailor-made for BABYMETAL (looks around) if not the other way around
After this song, the next track is Babymetal Death. Su has a great powerful vocal.
4:06 I liked your subtle response to Su's sigh 😊
This Unfinished Version was a one time performance for this Legend 1997 show. You should compare it to the original one! A good performance for the original would be "Akatsuki" live at Budokan 2014!
The ballad that she wanted!! 😅
If you adore baldas as much as me, then you have to check out "NO RAIN NO RAINBOW Legend S" concert PLEASE.🙏🏻❤️
This Akatsuki unfinished version doesn't even show the final form of Su-metal. Watch Akatsuki live at budokan black night, at that moment Su becomes the queen of peoples heart. Seriously you must see it.
And I am sure just 3 minutes before this performance she was working her butt off on the song before.
absolutely amazing and wonderful 💞🌺🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Nice Reaction!
But I recommend Akatsuki Normal version.
Because the normal version is faster and more powerful.
Please try it!! 🤘🦊🤘
My favorite of Su.
永遠の名曲。中元すず香の美しいヴォーカルが堪能出来る素晴らしい楽曲だ。Eternal masterpiece.It’s a wonderful song where you can enjoy Suzuka Nakamoto’s beautiful vocals. From 🇯🇵
Queen Su doesn't even NEED metal to sound beautifully.
Please noticed that her voice was not been cover by the instruments , still clear and nice also looked like she effortless to sang.
Yes, Akatsuki ❤️❤️❤️ Queen Su is just amazing ❤️❤️❤️ Akatsuki is my top favourite along with Shine. Please react to Shine 💙
🍅🍅🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
This version of Akatsuki is just so beautiful and emotional, now we need to see the new version from latest Budokan.

AKATSUKI
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
Shining in the depths of the eyes,
the moon is about to cry.
Red tears overflow
and dye the night sky.
In the silence,
the two damaged blades stand face to face.
Our loneliness and our uneasiness
slash even our hearts.
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
In the passage of time,
I keep my eyes shut.
Even if the red thread flowing in my hand breaks,
I still feel we are tied.
In the silence,
I hold the damaged blade face to face.
My loneliness and my uneasiness,
I slash, even my heart,
now.
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears someday…
Going over thousands nights,
some love shall survive.
So, until my body perishes,
until my life disappears,
I shall keep on cherishing this love.
Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!
:D YOU DID IT! Im subscribed! If you loved this you will love NO RAIN NO RAINBOW from the Legend S show in Hiroshima, Su's hometown!
🤘🦊🤘
هلو حبيبتي
After this video, I looked thru all your past video, cannot believe you not reacted to ' Homura ' by LiSA ( First Take ) yet. Perhaps you already know that song?
TT
At 6:30, Here Su- has changed the way she sings a little. She is intentionally weak and cuts her voice short. I think she expresses lyrical. I think her vocal skill now is better than that time, but she was 15 at this time. I was amazed.
Btw, I am not a music expert.
now react to the normal version please
turn off your notifications please. Love your reactions, and as a theatre major love the performance insight. Su sells this so well, you needn't know the language. This is Suzuka and not Sumetal in this performance.
>.>
I Want Japanese🇯🇵 Guide 🤔😇
Su can sing no !
