I hate to admit it too but man they get me emotional. Its the whole package. There is so much raw emotion in her singing backed by one of the best bands I have ever heard. Very few bands from the west are even capable of putting on an emotional show at this level. Dude you are not alone. I am an unashamed diehard fan.
Their choroegrpaher is Mikiko Mizuno, known professionally as simply Mikiko or Mikikometal. She is one of Japan's best choreographers. She was the stage director and choreographer for Japan's cultural presentation at the 2016 Summer Olympics closing ceremony and is one of the directors for the Japan 2020 Summer Olyimpics. She has been Su's choreogrpaher through most of her career (so Karen's Girls, SG and then BM so 12+ years so they work well together).
Su's loud voice is what Koba, the one that had the idea, heard and thought she would be great in front of metal band. There is even talk when he got the real band to be part of this experiment, they wanted to know if they should go low on her and they were told play loud she can keep up. Babymetal was formed different than most that it all started because of Su. The they got Yui and Moa. The band came later and the rest is history. When they announced an arena show in LA i had to go. It is going to be awesome. You know they are going to do something awesome there for the show.
That particular concert took place on 2014 and Suzuka was 16 years old then, so I think she's very talented not only in terms of her singing but her whole stage presence and carisma making her a strong performer. So the guy that was wondering if she had trained and making it appear she had a lot of experience is right. Suzuka had been scouted and trained as an idol when she was an elementary school girl, I don't remember exactly how old she was when she started making the babymetal thing but it mus had been prior to 2012 when she was also part of a group called Sakura Gakuin.
Oh yes, go to the show, vlog, live stream, do the lot! I'll watch and I'm sure many others will too. This was at the Budokan in Tokyo - in 1967 the Beatles were the first band to play there. In 2014 Babymetal became the youngest female band to headline (average age just under or just over 15). Su was 16 and a couple of months old ... and yes she had already been singing on stage for 8 or 10 years by then ... when you get further down into the Fox hole you will find videos of her when she was really tiny, she is a tad over 5 feet tall now, maybe 5'2".
A lot of people get a little surprised about the high level of professionalism from those girls thinking "for god sake, they are only kids". Well, don´t get to surprised. Suzuka (main singer) is on the stages from a very young age. She win a beauty contest with only 8 years. She enters in an idol school at only 9 years. She sing in a group with only 10 years. She do a lot of study and work, even in musical, theater and of course in the TV idol program "Sukura Gakuin" This concert is from 2016, when she was about 18 years i think, and in this moment she have about 8 years of experience on stages. Btw, in this song his voice sound very powerful, this is the reason because she was selected for Babymetal. As an anecdote, she says sometimes that in his house, when si was practicing singing his parents says "Suzuka, sing lower. The neighbors are going to complain"
⚡ / 🔥 🔴 🌙 🔥 I've said it before, but Su doesn't need to fear any of the pyrotechnics because she is fire herself. That solo (and Rondo of Nightmare from the same concert) are what sold me on BABYMETAL. Before that I liked them, and thought the whole idea was a lot of fun, but seeing Su at sixteen in full Metal Queen mode took my fandom to another level. One cool thing about 'Akatsuki'. It's written by combining the characters for "Red" and "Moon". Which helps explain the red moon imagery BABYMETAL uses in many of their concerts. In the track listing the character "Kurenai" (often translated as crimson) is used instead of "Red", probably as a tribute to the X-Japan song with that name. Kami Band guitarists that night were Leda Cygnus (with the black Strandberg guitar) and Takayoshi Ohmura (with his ESP Snapper custom "Pink-chan"). BTW; Yes of course! Go to Atlanta or Orlando. You'll kick yourselves if you don't.
Su, Moa, and Yui have been training for this practically their whole lives. All three were in a school-themed idol training group together called Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal originated as the Heavy Music Club in SG. Su also attended and graduated from Actors School Hiroshima (ASH).
Has anyone told you guys where the fox hand gesture came from? It represents a Kitsune, a Japanese trickster spirit that shapeshifts from human to a fox. Kinda like Loki, god of night and mischief. That's why you have seen comments about falling into the "foxhole". You might enjoy the song, "The One". It's a love letter that Babymetal wrote to all their fans, great video and they did two versions, one in Japanese and one in English. Cheers guys
They’re tinier than you even think- this is from their 2014 Budokan shows (sold out 2 consecutive nights) and Suzuka, the tallest, was only 5’ 1/2”. Moa and Yui were still only about 4’ 10”.🤯💪🏻🤘🏻
There's so many comments but here goes nuthen , you really must hear Su's best ballad NO RAIN NO RAINBOW. Also WHITE LOVE, which was filmed when she was just 14years old.
It comes to Su naturly she was born for this . That is why we call her our Queen . She would just do something in hèr performance really good and she be asked why did you do that? She would answer "do what" she would not even know she has done it sometimes .🤘😍🤘
Her sound is matured and so much better in recent years, her best performance that I've seen probably No rain no rainbow live in Hiroshima Green Arena, emotion she put in was just perfect
If you have a chance to go see Babymetal live DO IT!!! One word of advice, though, don't wait to buy tickets. I just took a quick scan seats available at the Atlanta and Orlando shows. There are plenty of floor tickets available, but they probably won't last long. If you want a seat, act now because there aren't that many left at either show. RE the competence, confidence and cockiness thing. Babymetal started in 2010 sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin when Sumetal (lead singer) was 13 or 14 and Moametal & Yuimetal (backup singers / dancers) were 12. In 2013. when Su 'graduated' from SG (it's a Japanese Idol thing) they became independent They released their first album in 2014. So, by the time this performance was recorded in 2015 the girls had been at it for about 5 years already, not to mention their previous experience as young idol singers while part of Sakura Gakuin. So, yeah, there's a reason behind why these young (at the time) girls are so competent and confident. At this point they had been, literally, performing for almost half their lives.
The Red and Black Budokan shows were on 1st and 2nd March 2014, before they headed out on their first world tour. When a Japanese act plays at Budokan, they are considered to have 'made it' in Japan. Babymetal only played there for the two nights because it is now too small for them. Their largest headliner was nearly a year and a half later at Tokyo Dome for two nights, with 55,000 each night. This is where the megastars play. I heard that they like playing the smaller venues, as they felt that the fans at the back of large venues like Tokyo Dome couldn't be involved as much due to the distance. The smaller venues provide a more intimate experience for fans, but the larger ones pop more on the videos.
Yet still modest and humble enough that it even took Mori-sensei by surprise. :D Small correction: When BabyMetal first started in 2010, Su (Dec 20, 1997) was 12, and Yui (June 20, 1999) and Moa (July 4, 1999) were 11. It's the next year, in the video for _Doki Doki Morning,_ that they're 13, 12 and 12.
Great reaction guys, Akatsuki is one of my all time favorite songs and there are so many awesome songs from Babymetal to choose from please do more and don't miss the concert you'll regret it.
Yes, go to the concert! If you have the chance to see BABYMETAL, DO IT! A couple of things about that, though, to keep in mind: 1) Although the fans would love you streaming the whole thing live, I recommend - as would most fans, I'm sure - not being too hung up on that and constantly paying attention to your phone/stream. Make a couple of short videos and pictures as a memory and to share afterwards but, for the most part, put your phone in your pocket and enjoy the music and the show! 2) The shows in the smaller venues won't have the elaborate stage production, of course. 3) The non-arena shows will be 'only' one hour long. It will be an hour in which you'll be blasted with energy from the girls and the band and, depending on your engagement, you'll be worn out at the end but, nevertheless, it will be only an hour. (There aren't any pauses or the girls talking to the audience so for them it's an hour of full on performing, hence why.) As to your question about Su's (Suzuka "Su-metal" Nakamoto) charisma and stage presence: yes, the girls work with a choreographer but Su simply has that special something that she turns on when she goes on stage. And for this particular song, there was hardly any choreo or instructions, it's mostly her own interpretation. Oh, and she was only 16 (and three months) at the moment of this concert........ ;-)
Their choreographer is Mikiko, one of the best in Japan. Every aspect of their performance is mapped out for effect. They do have some free moments during more recent shows, but even these are planned. BABYMETAL is never "off" on stage.
The musicians are some of the best musicians from Japan. They do lots of projects, for example Takayoshi Ohmura with the pink sparkling guitar, he plays with Marty Friedman as well.Just like Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, a lot of them are also session musicians. They love being in Babymetal, not just because they get to play music they enjoy, but they get to turn it up loud ! You are right, Suzuka started her professional career in the entertainment industry at age 2, as a kids model. Things like clothes and toys. So yeah, she's used to being on stage, center of attention, etc. :-) Suzuka has done a bunch of things before Babymetal was created around her voice and style. The venue where the Road of Resistance live in Japan was recorded with 20 000 people, Suzuka had already performed there at at age 10 as part of an other group (they did the music for an anime for kids, so they got kids fo the music), I'll just quote: "Back then the three were elementary schoolers and had not performed in front of huge audience like > 20k. Ayami and Yuika were kind of nervous under that circumstance. With that said, Su-chan was the one sleeping like a log at their dressing room until an hour before they went on the stage." But let's not forget Suzuka is 16 in the video you just reacted to, so it's just 6 years later LOL The song is probably a tribute to X-Japan Kurenai. Maybe also react to that ! ('last live' is a good show) I think you'd enjoy that too. Babymetal shows are an experience ! go do it ! :-) Barry Manilow is an interesting choice I can see how you got that idea, I would say this is very much her own style. But I wonder what you'll say about No Rain, No Rainbow, because we know from an interview a western singer was mentioned. I would recommend reacting to an other song of this show: Rondo Of Nightmare at Budokan with Mischief of God Intro
You ARE going ;) A few suggestions: 1st... Don't live stream in the show. Watch and hear every second of it, with your own eyes and ears. You will rob yourself of the experience, otherwise. There will be tons of cam videos, from other folks. 2nd... IMHO, it would be far more interesting if you come up with 10 standard questions, (5 w's, who, what, why, where, when), & 5 questions that speak to your own experience. Use these questions to interview people in line; outside, waiting for merch, getting drinks, between the opening band and Babymetal, leaving the show, etc. ** Babymetal's management did these kind of interviews, before the shows when they 1st started touring internationally, to use for DVD extras and to figure out who their audience was. 3rd... You're not going to be able to interview the singers. They had an early negative experience granting access to independent media. You may get the chance to interview members of the band, before the show, taking cigarette breaks after sound check. ( I guarantee that you will find someone that could translate, while interviewing people in line.) 4th... Enjoy the show. It'll be awesome. *\m/(^.^)\m/Babymetal DEATH\m/(^.^)\m/*
Go to the shows for sure! I'm going to Chicago and KC \m/ One of the best things about Su is that she's kind of a goofball IRL but turns that switch on and is a total badass on stage.
Great reaction like always! This is a love song, which is why it had the Barry Manilow vibe. Hahaha. This is one of my favourite songs from Babymetal. The girls have been performing like this since they were like 10. 🤘🦊🤘
What amazes me about that video even more is that it looks like she is having trouble with her "in ears" as she keeps adjusting one throughout it but it doesn;t make her miss a beat.
Ok here's a fun little Babymetal Trivia for ya. This whole thing started from an Anime opening. Yeah Really Su was in a different group (Karen Girls) they made the song for the 1st opening of the Anime Zettai Karen Children (imagine Xmen but with 3 op little girls working for the government) The Manager heard Su sing & thought she's too good for simple pop so he came up with the idea for Babymetal. Basically this band was created for Su
That's our queen Su and the amazing Kami band :) I really enjoy your reactions and make sure you go see them live and do a vlog! Welcome to the fox hole
I only just found out about BabyMetal and was really bummed because I live in Atlanta and just found out I was a month and some change late to see them T_T
Did you guys notice the bass player is playing a 6 string bass? You guys are gonna love Rhondo of a Nightmare with the mischief of the gods intro. Love you guys. You will regret not going to their concert. They need all the support they can get here in the states, they can barely sell a 10K seat show here. In Europe and Japan, they sell out 55K seat performances. They have set ticket and merchandice sales records in Europe and Japan for god sakes. Pa Pa Ya will knock you guys on your asses, I shit you not!
Wow, you are serious about making this the BABYMETAL show. No complaints from me! :-) I doubt you‘d be able to stream from inside the venue, but some on-time impressions would certainly be cool. You definitely wouldn’t regret it! This song has so much to love! The slow intro still makes me shed a tear after years of listening to it, Su is adorable and perfect in every single way, the guitar solo is awesome, the Metal is fast, the melodies are beautiful, what more could you ask for? Have you thought about the Link&Sync method? It would open up a world full of awesome BM videos to react to, many of which would otherwise never find heir way to us.
Just a note, it's pronounced Akat'ski; in Japanese the "u" after an "s" is often subvocalized, which is coincidentally why Su-metal has the hyphen, to indicate that the "u" is vocalised. Mikiko Mizuno, the choreographer, has said that Su takes the steps she is taught and adds her own flare. She is quite the showman., She brings attitude
Otherwise, she'd just be S-metal, and that would be weird. It also does seem to be elongated into Suu when written in kana, probably for the same linguistic purpose. :) Apparently, she generally improvises moves during her solo songs. Yui and Moa expressed being impressed by that. It really does seem like Su was born with a mic in her hand, and crawled to the nearest stage as soon as she could.
I had exactly those same smiles when I watched them for the first time... Btw, this just came up in my mind; Babymetal - Sis. Anger, u have to react to this also!
@@KDTGrave Arkadia tiene toda la pinta de ser una canción de cierre, solo la escuche una vez del día 1 de Yokohama, estoy esperando que salga algo de estudio o una en vivo como la de Shanti :p
There had to be some musicians who turned down the opportunity to be BabyMetal's backing band You want me to backup three preteen girls singing and dancing around to metal music, that's crazy At least one
Im going to the Las Vegas show house of blues Standing row choson area up front where the mosh pit will form this is my second show the first one was a opening act 6 songs this time full show and looking forward to it and yes there loud and the ground shakes its an awesome experience you should go see them live.
Someday, the both of you on your own, need to check out "Akatsuki The Unfinished Version"...if SU's performance in that does not bring you to tears, you have no soul...Another great reaction guys! (PS..."Do your f#cking homework!"...OMG...I lost it laughing...!!!!)
Definitely need to watch Babymetal - rondo of nightmare (mischief of god intro) live budokan black night. The intro is the band each taking their turn to show their skills before the song kicks in.
That's a show right there! Oh please go watch BABYMETAL live this is so awesome! I hope you can react to more BABYMETAL song. I suggest you react to "iine"
Another great reaction guys! If you enjoy harmonizing dual guitar solos, then might I suggest reacting to "No Rain, No Rainbow". It is an awesome power ballad, reminiscent of those popular during the hair metal days of the 1980's. The Tokyo Dome performance is my favorite, but might cause copyright problems. There are other performances of the song that should be easier to use. I say, go to the concert, see them live and bask in the happy metal vibe that only Babymetal can bring.
This would be cool to react to as it showcases Su's voice. I like the Legend S version also because I believe it was Mikio Fujioka's last concert with the Kami Band before he passed.
Go to the Altanta show and vlog it, guys. You'll have a blast. I thought about going to that one, but ended up buying tickets to the show in DC because it's closer. I won't be able to meet you in person, but I'd love to watch your reactions to seeing Babymetal live.
Never heard this band before but they sound surprisingly good! I recommend you react to Zeal and Ardor - Dont You Dare Session live or maybe some Seether!
Zeal and Ardor are awesome! I second your suggestions! I've to catch them live again :) you should check out more from BABYMETAL, as KDTGrave already mentioned, no song sounds the same, everything is different(exploring all possible genres of metal, mixing it with different stuff and music around the world, like one of my favorites "YAVA!" which includes Ska) and, always try to get a live video, but stay away from fan-compilations, they've nearly everytime bad audio quality
Great reaction!BABYMETAL live show is much better than MV. It will be a great experience! I'm looking forward to your BABYMETAL reaction. I recomend to you "MEGITUNE".
you love double lead .. like I do I see.. you must see the other top babymetal song .. No Rain No Rainbow they are pros and the band is kickass you have a lot more to see....
Thanks Chris! We decided to go to ATL for the same reason! Closer VIP seats. Probably not doing any moshing! Well, you never know :-) Let us know how the ORL show is!
Amy Lee can't hold a candle to Su! The band's name is the Kami Band (kami = god). If you want to see the band get some credit, try "Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischief of gods intro. You just saw Su-metal's 'death stare'. Have fun at the concert.
oh yea man .... that look you guys see is what we call " Su-Metal Death Stare " , it's rare but it's deathly not good for the weak soul and and your first live experience with Babymetal.
Hi Guys - I love your reaction videos and have a request/suggestion. (Before I get to it, review Karate it's amazing. Be sure to review the official video. It's the best version.) Anyway, can you react to Onedari Daisakusen? This is a bangin song, driving guitars, solid drumming and is very different from the BabyMetal songs you’ve already reacted to. I think people will enjoy your reactions to this one. The band keeps their foot on the gas the whole song. Here are some reasons why to review this song; Lead singer SuMetal doesn’t sing in this one. This song features the backup singers YuiMetal and MoaMetal. They are called ‘Black BabyMetal.’ (The mythology is that these two ate chocolate, even though its forbidden by the Fox God, and became demons.) They look adorable but they’re naughty little girls. The songs kicks ass, and has a little hip hop flavor, ala Limp Biscuit. This would be a good one to read the English translation before you watch it so you’ll know that even though what you’re seeing is super cute, it’s all about how they use their charms to manipulate their father to get whatever they want. This is Daddy’s little girl combined with a gold digger. They sing about all the tactics they use on him. The title translates to ‘Beg Father-for-it Operation.’ Here is a link to it. I’ve seen others use this link in reactions on RUclips; ruclips.net/video/VQ9qBj_KqR8/видео.html
Yeah, she has a ton of confidence but it doesn't come across as 'I'm the greatest ever!' She seems very humble but just believes in herself and believes and trusts in the people around her. It's weird but this interview done when, I think, she was 15??? was one of the things that solidified me as a fan. The way she conducts herself here with such poise and confidence is inspiring. ruclips.net/video/-iZ75I3MMt8/видео.html Also, at about 3:41 of your video Su shouts AKATSUKI DA!! So she pronounces the song title there. :)
I completely agree, and I think it ought to be mentioned more. When I first tumbled into the fox hole and watched some of Su's interviews (and her Sakura Gakuin graduation speech) I was struck by all the things you mention, and the combination of confidence and humility is absolutely affecting and inspirational. She's also caring and creative and funny. It strikes me that these are all vital ingredients in the Babymetal recipe. Maybe Koba chose her for her voice, but I don't believe he chose her *only* for her voice.
that moment you realize some teenage Japanese girls are more metal than you ever were lmao .. yeah first time I saw BabyMetal was on the Late show with Steven Colbert and it fucking blew my mind so I had to find out more and this was the second song I saw from them and my mind was blown even more when I saw how professional this all is with a amazing band I been a musician 40 years and these guys are great and the girls are top notch professionals even in their early teens you have to see No Rain No Rainbow and ijime dame zetai live at Sonisphere festival in the UK what happened was they were set to perform on one of the smaller stages and the day before the show they got moved to the main stage and just blew everyone away and tahts when they blew up all over the world .. I keep an eye on them cause I am always curious to see what they do next and what direction this goes in the future .. anyway great reaction .. thanks B and S I will hit the subscribe button ..
Oh yes....that would be AWESOME! I can imagine the feed! Keep'm coming! I may have requested this already...but, AMORE live at Wembley! Is is another Su Metal solo song....but damn, the pace! www.dailymotion.com/video/x57tnko
They were trained basically at school, they went to an Elementary/Middle/High school specificaly toward training young girls for Showbusiness and to become J-Pop Idols. atleast Moa,Yui, and Su did, im unsure about Yui's replacement and the other girls.
I hate to admit it too but man they get me emotional. Its the whole package. There is so much raw emotion in her singing backed by one of the best bands I have ever heard. Very few bands from the west are even capable of putting on an emotional show at this level. Dude you are not alone. I am an unashamed diehard fan.
Suzuka's singing voice is amazing!
I love BABYMETAL!
You are witnessing Queen suzuka nakamoto
Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God to see the Kami Band perform before Su gets on stage.
If you love the Kami Band then this performance is IT.. each musican has their own solo spot and you see why they are so rated as musicans.
Their choroegrpaher is Mikiko Mizuno, known professionally as simply Mikiko or Mikikometal. She is one of Japan's best choreographers.

BTW; Yes of course!
Go to Atlanta or Orlando. You'll kick yourselves if you don't.
If anyone wants to know, the ESP model is called: Twinkle Pink.
Pink-chan is his own name for it. :-)
@autohmae You're right.
Technically it's an "ESP SNAPPER-7 Ohmura Custom (Twinkle Pink)", but the "Pink-chan" nickname is much more manageable. : )
@@rickwagner- Got to love that man ! :-)
Su, Moa, and Yui have been training for this practically their whole lives. All three were in a school-themed idol training group together called Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal originated as the Heavy Music Club in SG. Su also attended and graduated from Actors School Hiroshima (ASH).

Their largest headliner was nearly a year and a half later at Tokyo Dome for two nights, with 55,000 each night. This is where the megastars play.
I heard that they like playing the smaller venues, as they felt that the fans at the back of large venues like Tokyo Dome couldn't be involved as much due to the distance.
The smaller venues provide a more intimate experience for fans, but the larger ones pop more on the videos.

A bit of trivia: Babymetal is on record as the the youngest headlining act to perform at Budokan.
Yet still modest and humble enough that it even took Mori-sensei by surprise. :D
Small correction: When BabyMetal first started in 2010, Su (Dec 20, 1997) was 12, and Yui (June 20, 1999) and Moa (July 4, 1999) were 11. It's the next year, in the video for _Doki Doki Morning,_ that they're 13, 12 and 12.
"PAPAYA" & "SHANTI" (brand new songs from BABYMETAL 2019) are also amazing⤴🔥
Great reaction guys, Akatsuki is one of my all time favorite songs and there are so many awesome songs from Babymetal to choose from please do more and don't miss the concert you'll regret it.
Yes, go to the concert! If you have the chance to see BABYMETAL, DO IT!
A couple of things about that, though, to keep in mind:
1) Although the fans would love you streaming the whole thing live, I recommend - as would most fans, I'm sure - not being too hung up on that and constantly paying attention to your phone/stream. Make a couple of short videos and pictures as a memory and to share afterwards but, for the most part, put your phone in your pocket and enjoy the music and the show!
2) The shows in the smaller venues won't have the elaborate stage production, of course.
3) The non-arena shows will be 'only' one hour long. It will be an hour in which you'll be blasted with energy from the girls and the band and, depending on your engagement, you'll be worn out at the end but, nevertheless, it will be only an hour. (There aren't any pauses or the girls talking to the audience so for them it's an hour of full on performing, hence why.)
As to your question about Su's (Suzuka "Su-metal" Nakamoto) charisma and stage presence: yes, the girls work with a choreographer but Su simply has that special something that she turns on when she goes on stage. And for this particular song, there was hardly any choreo or instructions, it's mostly her own interpretation. Oh, and she was only 16 (and three months) at the moment of this concert........ ;-)
Their choreographer is Mikiko, one of the best in Japan. Every aspect of their performance is mapped out for effect. They do have some free moments during more recent shows, but even these are planned. BABYMETAL is never "off" on stage.
The musicians are some of the best musicians from Japan. They do lots of projects, for example Takayoshi Ohmura with the pink sparkling guitar, he plays with Marty Friedman as well.Just like Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, a lot of them are also session musicians. They love being in Babymetal, not just because they get to play music they enjoy, but they get to turn it up loud ! You are right, Suzuka started her professional career in the entertainment industry at age 2, as a kids model. Things like clothes and toys. So yeah, she's used to being on stage, center of attention, etc. :-) Suzuka has done a bunch of things before Babymetal was created around her voice and style. The venue where the Road of Resistance live in Japan was recorded with 20 000 people, Suzuka had already performed there at at age 10 as part of an other group (they did the music for an anime for kids, so they got kids fo the music), I'll just quote: "Back then the three were elementary schoolers and had not performed in front of huge audience like > 20k. Ayami and Yuika were kind of nervous under that circumstance. With that said, Su-chan was the one sleeping like a log at their dressing room until an hour before they went on the stage."
But let's not forget Suzuka is 16 in the video you just reacted to, so it's just 6 years later LOL
The song is probably a tribute to X-Japan Kurenai. Maybe also react to that ! ('last live' is a good show) I think you'd enjoy that too.
Babymetal shows are an experience ! go do it ! :-)
Barry Manilow is an interesting choice I can see how you got that idea, I would say this is very much her own style. But I wonder what you'll say about No Rain, No Rainbow, because we know from an interview a western singer was mentioned.
I would recommend reacting to an other song of this show: Rondo Of Nightmare at Budokan with Mischief of God Intro
You ARE going ;)
A few suggestions:
1st... Don't live stream in the show. Watch and hear every second of it, with your own eyes and ears. You will rob yourself of the experience, otherwise. There will be tons of cam videos, from other folks.
2nd... IMHO, it would be far more interesting if you come up with 10 standard questions, (5 w's, who, what, why, where, when), & 5 questions that speak to your own experience. Use these questions to interview people in line; outside, waiting for merch, getting drinks, between the opening band and Babymetal, leaving the show, etc.
** Babymetal's management did these kind of interviews, before the shows when they 1st started touring internationally, to use for DVD extras and to figure out who their audience was.
3rd... You're not going to be able to interview the singers. They had an early negative experience granting access to independent media. You may get the chance to interview members of the band, before the show, taking cigarette breaks after sound check. ( I guarantee that you will find someone that could translate, while interviewing people in line.)
4th... Enjoy the show. It'll be awesome.
*\m/(^.^)\m/Babymetal DEATH\m/(^.^)\m/*
Go to the shows for sure! I'm going to Chicago and KC \m/
One of the best things about Su is that she's kind of a goofball IRL but turns that switch on and is a total badass on stage.
I will also be at the Chicago show
Going to the Orlando and the !! Forum !! shows, can't wait. @The B & S guys, make it to Orlando would like to say Hi, you guys are great. KITSUNE!
Great reaction like always! This is a love song, which is why it had the Barry Manilow vibe. Hahaha. This is one of my favourite songs from Babymetal. The girls have been performing like this since they were like 10. 🤘🦊🤘
What amazes me about that video even more is that it looks like she is having trouble with her "in ears" as she keeps adjusting one throughout it but it doesn;t make her miss a beat.
I get chills every time I see this vid. Amazing!!! 😁
Thumbs up the the B&S BMB 👍
I'm in Nashville. I'll be extremely jelly of all those going tot he Atlanta show.
SuMetal is the QUEEN OF METAL!
Ok here's a fun little Babymetal Trivia for ya.
This whole thing started from an Anime opening.
Yeah Really
Su was in a different group (Karen Girls) they made the song for the 1st opening of the Anime Zettai Karen Children (imagine Xmen but with 3 op little girls working for the government)
The Manager heard Su sing & thought she's too good for simple pop so he came up with the idea for Babymetal.
Basically this band was created for Su
That's our queen Su and the amazing Kami band :) I really enjoy your reactions and make sure you go see them live and do a vlog! Welcome to the fox hole
I only just found out about BabyMetal and was really bummed because I live in Atlanta and just found out I was a month and some change late to see them T_T
Did you guys notice the bass player is playing a 6 string bass? You guys are gonna love Rhondo of a Nightmare with the mischief of the gods intro. Love you guys. You will regret not going to their concert. They need all the support they can get here in the states, they can barely sell a 10K seat show here. In Europe and Japan, they sell out 55K seat performances. They have set ticket and merchandice sales records in Europe and Japan for god sakes. Pa Pa Ya will knock you guys on your asses, I shit you not!
I did see that crazy bass! As a guitarist, that makes more sense to me actually than a 4.
Wow, you are serious about making this the BABYMETAL show. No complaints from me! :-)
I doubt you‘d be able to stream from inside the venue, but some on-time impressions would certainly be cool. You definitely wouldn’t regret it!
This song has so much to love! The slow intro still makes me shed a tear after years of listening to it, Su is adorable and perfect in every single way, the guitar solo is awesome, the Metal is fast, the melodies are beautiful, what more could you ask for?
Have you thought about the Link&Sync method? It would open up a world full of awesome BM videos to react to, many of which would otherwise never find heir way to us.
Just a note, it's pronounced Akat'ski; in Japanese the "u" after an "s" is often subvocalized, which is coincidentally why Su-metal has the hyphen, to indicate that the "u" is vocalised.
Mikiko Mizuno, the choreographer, has said that Su takes the steps she is taught and adds her own flare. She is quite the showman., She brings attitude
Otherwise, she'd just be S-metal, and that would be weird. It also does seem to be elongated into Suu when written in kana, probably for the same linguistic purpose. :)
Apparently, she generally improvises moves during her solo songs. Yui and Moa expressed being impressed by that. It really does seem like Su was born with a mic in her hand, and crawled to the nearest stage as soon as she could.
@@0okamino Yes, that is an alternative method
I had exactly those same smiles when I watched them for the first time...
Btw, this just came up in my mind; Babymetal - Sis. Anger, u have to react to this also!
I love y'alls reactions. Now y'all have to watch Rondo of Nightmare from the same concert, you'll love it.
Go ahead and enjoy the concert guys.
Ella es la mejor una reina la mejor y nada mas :').
Great reactions! And funny as well haha. Looking forward to more! You guys should definitely go to their concert!! Get that BM mania going! 🤘🏼😬
Dude! You have got to go to Atlanta and see Baby Metal live, it will change your life forever. The totally freaking rock!!
You should definitely go to BABYMETAL CONCERT. I’d recommend anyone to at least see them live once. It’s such an experience
Su was only 16 or so and that facial expression she does!
Always more BabyMetal forever!
no es solo la increíble voz de Su, si no también ese sentimiento que le inyecta que te pone la piel de gallina, thanks for your reactions 🤘🏽🦊
@@KDTGrave Arkadia tiene toda la pinta de ser una canción de cierre, solo la escuche una vez del día 1 de Yokohama, estoy esperando que salga algo de estudio o una en vivo como la de Shanti :p
Baby metal went threw some hard time. Lost two members one of dancer left an lost a band member. This year their coming out strong.
There had to be some musicians who turned down the opportunity to be BabyMetal's backing band You want me to backup three preteen girls singing and dancing around to metal music, that's crazy At least one
Im going to the Las Vegas show house of blues Standing row choson area up front where the mosh pit will form this is my second show the first one was a opening act 6 songs this time full show and looking forward to it and yes there loud and the ground shakes its an awesome experience you should go see them live.
Someday, the both of you on your own, need to check out "Akatsuki The Unfinished Version"...if SU's performance in that does not bring you to tears, you have no soul...Another great reaction guys! (PS..."Do your f#cking homework!"...OMG...I lost it laughing...!!!!)
I've subscribed & bashed that bell for a live Babymetal concert countdown, & blog by you cool hard rocking dudes!
Definitely need to watch Babymetal - rondo of nightmare (mischief of god intro) live budokan black night. The intro is the band each taking their turn to show their skills before the song kicks in.
That's a show right there! Oh please go watch BABYMETAL live this is so awesome!
I hope you can react to more BABYMETAL song. I suggest you react to "iine"
Try "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" at Sonisphere 2014, it's amazing and it's their first show out of Japan, the crowd loved them since that show.
素晴らしいリアクションありがとう。彼らのライブは凄いです。是非ライブに出かけてください。この動画のタイトルの修正と（AKATSUKI) BABYMETAL を追加記載してください。検索の為に
Do you f**** homework hahahaha! Great reaction! I hope more of this Band!
nearly spit out my damn coffee when he told you to do your fucking homework hahahaha
お二人のHAPPYなキャラがとても大好き
Another great reaction guys! If you enjoy harmonizing dual guitar solos, then might I suggest reacting to "No Rain, No Rainbow". It is an awesome power ballad, reminiscent of those popular during the hair metal days of the 1980's. The Tokyo Dome performance is my favorite, but might cause copyright problems. There are other performances of the song that should be easier to use. I say, go to the concert, see them live and bask in the happy metal vibe that only Babymetal can bring.
This would be cool to react to as it showcases Su's voice. I like the Legend S version also because I believe it was Mikio Fujioka's last concert with the Kami Band before he passed.
I'm in! Do the live show bros.... just make sure you get your tix before it sells out
I say yes to you guys going to the Babymetal show and live streaming it.
We’re doing it!
Sweet, that's awesome!!! Looking forward to more reactions, and to you sharing this awesome experience with us.
Go to the Altanta show and vlog it, guys. You'll have a blast. I thought about going to that one, but ended up buying tickets to the show in DC because it's closer. I won't be able to meet you in person, but I'd love to watch your reactions to seeing Babymetal live.
"Rond of the nightmare" is the best metal song from BM!!!
Na, Karate
Crushed this performance.
I keep listening to this song & amore over n over again these last few weeks. Great songs. Nice reaction guys.
Yes we want to see you guys at a Babymetal concert and vlog it.....did you say your going to Atalanta and Orlando? 😎🤘
You should hit up the LA Forum show in October!!
Babymetal is very theatrical, especially Su-metal's solo.
Death Metal opera or broadway show.
okay but a death metal musical sounds fuckin sweet
Ya'll need to be there for those of us who wish we could!!!
Thanks, guys! Welcome to The One!
Never heard this band before but they sound surprisingly good! I recommend you react to Zeal and Ardor - Dont You Dare Session live or maybe some Seether!
Zeal and Ardor are awesome! I second your suggestions! I've to catch them live again :)
you should check out more from BABYMETAL, as KDTGrave already mentioned, no song sounds the same, everything is different(exploring all possible genres of metal, mixing it with different stuff and music around the world, like one of my favorites "YAVA!" which includes Ska)
and, always try to get a live video, but stay away from fan-compilations, they've nearly everytime bad audio quality
AWESOMENESS!!!! I hope to see you guys in Atlanta!!! HINT...I will be the guy with the BABYMETAL t-shirt on...LMAO!!!! KITSUNE UP
I am going to the paris show, its already sold out lmao, have fun ! can't wait for the new album
Congratulations on 400 subscribers
Great reaction!BABYMETAL live show is much better than MV. It will be a great experience!
I'm looking forward to your BABYMETAL reaction. I recomend to you "MEGITUNE".
I'm going to that concert! Got my ticket.. see you there..
You have to check out the "unfinished" version from Legend 1997 :D Very different feel, also amazing.
Going to the Seattle show in October. In fact the whole family is going.
Great reaction👍👍👍👍👍👍
"idk i frgot her name.." "SU. Do your fucking hmk" lmaooooo so cute
This is not the voice of an litle girl. It's the voice of an angel fighting for her love :D
if you really wanna see Suzuka at her best, check out "No rain no rainbow" next!
I can tell you guys have realized BABYMETAL IS Legit
you love double lead .. like I do I see.. you must see the other top babymetal song .. No Rain No Rainbow they are pros and the band is kickass you have a lot more to see....
If you guys decide to do the Orlando show let me know and I will meet up with you. I have center balcony seat. Too old for the mosh pit lol.
Thanks Chris! We decided to go to ATL for the same reason! Closer VIP seats. Probably not doing any moshing! Well, you never know :-) Let us know how the ORL show is!
@@TheBandSShow Will do! I almost went for vip myself. If it's awesome I will do vip the next time for sure.
I want to go. You guys should definitely go.
Buy tickets now before it sells out! Your gonna get rocked!!!
you guys remind me of Lost In Vegas so much :D
do the vlog definitely!!
Amy Lee can't hold a candle to Su! The band's name is the Kami Band (kami = god). If you want to see the band get some credit, try "Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischief of gods intro. You just saw Su-metal's 'death stare'. Have fun at the concert.
Ha don’t tell Stan that! Thanks!
A baby metal las amo digan lo que digan y su metal es la diosa la reina digan lo que diga ella es muy talentosa
Yeah vlog your BM experience!
oh yea man .... that look you guys see is what we call " Su-Metal Death Stare " , it's rare but it's deathly not good for the weak soul and and your first live experience with Babymetal.
Hi Guys - I love your reaction videos and have a request/suggestion. (Before I get to it, review Karate it's amazing. Be sure to review the official video. It's the best version.) Anyway, can you react to Onedari Daisakusen? This is a bangin song, driving guitars, solid drumming and is very different from the BabyMetal songs you’ve already reacted to. I think people will enjoy your reactions to this one. The band keeps their foot on the gas the whole song. Here are some reasons why to review this song;
Lead singer SuMetal doesn’t sing in this one. This song features the backup singers YuiMetal and MoaMetal. They are called ‘Black BabyMetal.’ (The mythology is that these two ate chocolate, even though its forbidden by the Fox God, and became demons.) They look adorable but they’re naughty little girls.
The songs kicks ass, and has a little hip hop flavor, ala Limp Biscuit.
This would be a good one to read the English translation before you watch it so you’ll know that even though what you’re seeing is super cute, it’s all about how they use their charms to manipulate their father to get whatever they want. This is Daddy’s little girl combined with a gold digger. They sing about all the tactics they use on him. The title translates to ‘Beg Father-for-it Operation.’
Here is a link to it. I’ve seen others use this link in reactions on RUclips; ruclips.net/video/VQ9qBj_KqR8/видео.html
Oh, yes. Do the Babymetal Bash.
Yeah, she has a ton of confidence but it doesn't come across as 'I'm the greatest ever!' She seems very humble but just believes in herself and believes and trusts in the people around her. It's weird but this interview done when, I think, she was 15??? was one of the things that solidified me as a fan. The way she conducts herself here with such poise and confidence is inspiring. ruclips.net/video/-iZ75I3MMt8/видео.html
Also, at about 3:41 of your video Su shouts AKATSUKI DA!! So she pronounces the song title there. :)
I completely agree, and I think it ought to be mentioned more. When I first tumbled into the fox hole and watched some of Su's interviews (and her Sakura Gakuin graduation speech) I was struck by all the things you mention, and the combination of confidence and humility is absolutely affecting and inspirational. She's also caring and creative and funny. It strikes me that these are all vital ingredients in the Babymetal recipe. Maybe Koba chose her for her voice, but I don't believe he chose her *only* for her voice.
@@ClawCarver yep, Suzuka is more than just that voice. Then again, it seems like all the SG girls are super-ladies just like she is.
that moment you realize some teenage Japanese girls are more metal than you ever were lmao .. yeah first time I saw BabyMetal was on the Late show with Steven Colbert and it fucking blew my mind so I had to find out more and this was the second song I saw from them and my mind was blown even more when I saw how professional this all is with a amazing band I been a musician 40 years and these guys are great and the girls are top notch professionals even in their early teens you have to see No Rain No Rainbow and ijime dame zetai live at Sonisphere festival in the UK what happened was they were set to perform on one of the smaller stages and the day before the show they got moved to the main stage and just blew everyone away and tahts when they blew up all over the world .. I keep an eye on them cause I am always curious to see what they do next and what direction this goes in the future .. anyway great reaction .. thanks B and S I will hit the subscribe button ..
You'd be idiots if you don't go. Another fine reaction!
Oh yes....that would be AWESOME! I can imagine the feed! Keep'm coming! I may have requested this already...but, AMORE live at Wembley! Is is another Su Metal solo song....but damn, the pace! www.dailymotion.com/video/x57tnko
They were trained basically at school, they went to an Elementary/Middle/High school specificaly toward training young girls for Showbusiness and to become J-Pop Idols. atleast Moa,Yui, and Su did, im unsure about Yui's replacement and the other girls.
