...........the reason why Babymetalfans....especially older guys like me.....so into it , the reason why they love Babymetal so much is...........they give the feeling back......the feeling when you was 14 and you hear the first time your beloved Heavy Metal music that you gone with decades................these young girls have so much energy , talent and strength that it warms an old man's heart...........................
⚡ / ☂️ 🌈 'No Rain, No Rainbow is a very rare BABYMETAL song. It's been performed only seven times since its debut in 2013. And never outside of Japan. As far as the lyrics are concerned, this is what Su-metal had to say a few years ago: "Sure! 'No Rain, No Rainbow' might be the least metal song of our repertoire and it’s been with us for three or four years now. This song is a total fan favourite though. You can interpret it in a romantic way but we like to think about it in a more open way. It is about simple human feelings of love and loss and how the value of certain things we have in life is only perceived in dark moments. At the beginning, we admit we couldn’t completely understand the deep meaning of this song. But this song has helped us develop not only Su-metal's vocal techniques, but also our way to express our emotions through this song the more we performed it." The narration before this song at the two 'LEGEND S - BAPTISM XX' concerts added some moving and poetic references to the bombing of Hiroshima and its aftermath. And, as you mentioned, there were events that appear in hindsight that added some additional emotional impact for Su and the BABYMETAL team.
I'm very glad you reacted to No Rain No Rainbow. I appreciate what you said about Su using her expressions and body language to communicate the lyrics. She is a master at doing that but in a very subtle way. You will never see her over-sell a song and that is one of the many things I like about her.
My Daughter was at the concert and she said it was magical. I have always believed that the UN building should have been built in Hiroshima with the Shadow people lining the entrance to remined them all what they are there for every time they enter.
I cannot explain how much i love this song. I have listened to it so many times over the last for years - whether it's while just sitting around at home, in the car, or watching a reaction - there wasn't a single time that it didn't make me cry. The song as such is awesome, and Su's voice makes it perfect. But the guitars really hit me in the feels as well. I like what you said about the authenticity. Many people call BABYMETAL fake due to the strict choreography and their origin. But just look at Su's eyes during the verse after the solo. Nobody can tell me that's fake. As others have already mentioned, at the time of the release of the first album, Su said that she didn't feel ready to perform this song the way it would needed to be performed. So they postponed it. That's how serious she is about it and how much understanding she had for the emotions it carries, even at her young age.
Not only the verse, the whole performance I would say (although that part really brings it home). I've never seen her look so vulnerable during a performance.
Hello beautiful lady thanks for come back with another BM song.❤️ One of the most gorgeous ballad from SuMetal solos and BM in general, performed at Legend S Baptism XX at 20th SuMetal birthday it was a special concert for many factors and many fans always get sad about it, me too of course, is a bittersweat live concert and one in a lifetime too. She sang early this year at 10 Babymetal Budokan with our queen "playing" the piano, it really surprises the audience and it was just delightful, i saw it a couple of weeks ago during World Premiere livestream and it's gonna be released on DVD/BR at 29/09 worldwide
NRNR is a fan favourite; thanks your comments. In an interview to a magazine, Babymetal revealed that: “No Rain, No Rainbow” might be the least metal song of our repertoire and it’s been with us for three or four years now. This song is a total fan favourite though. You can interpret it in a romantic way but we like to think about it in a more open way. It is about simple human feelings of love and loss and how the value of certain things we have in life is only perceived in dark moments. At the beginning, we admit we couldn’t completely understand the deep meaning of this song. But this song has helped us develop, not just Su-metal vocal techniques, but also our way to express our emotions through this song the more we performed it.
Thank you for reviewing this particularly emotional performance of BABYMETAL's lovely ballad of "No Rain No Rainbow". I only would have wished that the logo would have faded a bit during the point in which Suzuka's eyes well up with tears. I remember waiting for the event since it was Su's first performance as SuMetal in her home town. But studying the venue (Hiroshima Green Arena) on Google maps I noticed that not only was it in Hiroshima, but is only 400 meters way from the "T" Bridge, ground zero for that tragic day. But to think that out of such destruction and ashes one day, decades later, a "Child of Hiroshima" would stand (coached by another "Child of Hiroshima" (Mikiko)), and lift up her lovely voice to gift such a beautiful ballad the world.
Nice analysis. Obviously Su couldn't have known Yui wouldn't be back (the fact she was to miss this show was only announced just before it happened) or that Mikio (RIP) was making his last appearance with BABYMETAL before his tragic accident (immediately after your first pause Su sang the line "We shall never meet again, but I want not to forget you forever." It is clearly no coincidence in the editing that the camera focused briefly on Mikio), but neither of those things were what she was singing about. What you didn't see in this video was the introductory narration which referenced the Hiroshima bomb and how the sky was blacked out by the black acid rain which fell afterwards. This is a subject very close to Su's heart as a native of Hiroshima. She has talked about it in the past - and I believe at least one of her grandparents was a survivor of the bomb. You said about this being like a classic 80s / 90s rock ballad ... it certainly pays more than a passing homage to the X Japan classic 'Endless Rain' - even the last line Su sings is "An endless rain fills my heart forever." Su and Moa got to perform 'Endless Rain' in a TV special performance at the New year with it's composer Yoshiki of X Japan along with a couple more chosen Japanese artists, Brian May and Roger Taylor from Queen and Sarah Brightman. Su got one line to herself in that performance and (I may be biased, but others have also said this) she put so much more feeling into that one line than any of the other artists managed in the parts they sang. You can find a video of that on the Queen Official channel.
Himeka said in a blog in her Nogizaka days that she was the grandaughter of a Hibakusha, a survivor of the bomb. I don't believe Su has ever talked about it.
@@Wombatmetal i think once (i dont know if it was interview or what) Su said on the day every year where Hiroshime remèmbers the bomb being dropped. She was in Toyko and everone was just going about as if was a normal day and she felt very annoyed about that . Hopefully someone will give us more details and if i am correct 🤘😁🤘
@@Wombatmetal What Martinmetal said was what I was referring to, not that Su had said herself about her grandparent, that bit of info had probably come from Himeka's blog.
So glad you got to see and hear this performance. Such moving lyrics (especially that last line "An endless rain fills my heart. Forever.") and, of course, sung so powerfully and emotionally by Queen Su. I've read that her range as a Soprano is C4 to G#5, which probably means more to you than me! 🦊🦊🦊
I don't know anything professional but her voice live is It grabs my heart and shakes it violently It is an existence that leaves its name in the history of Japanese music
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。 We are moved by this song 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 this song performed by Su-Metal and Kamis. We are not just listening to something but embracing celestial healings. This was filmed in 2017 and Su sang this song in the two last shows of 10 BABYMETAL Budokan this year (April 14 & 15) with matured voice. I am sure many fans saw it in the online world premiere program. As an eyewitness of both shows at the venue, I can tell you that it was literally heartbreaking and mad me forget to breathe.
@@derwolf9670 Thanks for your interest. I have been a Jazz and Funk fan for 45 years and playing trumpet and flugelhorn in an amateur band as a hobby. Honestly, bands with girls had not existed in my music life until the day of destiny, when I discovered BABYMETAL on July 7, 2019 in BBC video. 😄
Thanks for a wonderful analysis. I do think the most touching part of this performance was when Su’s eyes tear up midway through. It was hard to see with the reactor logo. People who haven’t seen the original video may want to catch it as her expressions are moving.
@@IOOIIIV It compare to them previous live concert, i don't compare with newer performance because i didn't watched yet new Budokan, its seem interesting
I love Su metal voice , when she sings , " The One " the song bring emotional feeling about the Baby metal changes , losing the lead guitarist and Yui leaving. Even with adversity the Baby Metal still is ongoing and making new songs Su and Moa are true professional s .
I don't know if it had been mentioned in the previous comments, but this was Suzuka's first time singing with Babymetal in front of her home of Hiroshima.
just for your info. --- this song is also said to be a tribute to the song "Endless Rain" by the legendary Japanese band XJAPAN. ... if you see the lyrics, this song ends by saying - "An endless rain fills my heart, forever" ! ... this line is connected to the chorus part of the XJAPAN's song "Endless Rain". and also, at the very first of the video, there is a crystal-like piano, which is a trademark of Yoshiko (drummer & pianist of XJAPAN) ... :)) .. if you haven't listened to "Endless rain" i encourage you to listen to that song also. ... both are beautiful songs. :))
Great reaction and analysis... Much appreciated. This is one of my favorite BM performances, one that gained more gravitas with the events that just preceded and followed this show. It was supposed to be a happy celebration of Su's 20th Birthday and became a big turning point for them.
There's a cut from Moa-chan on her 20th birthday, performing the "Moabanger." Would love to see what you think about her voice. ruclips.net/video/Tgs9P9UE9c0/видео.html
Personally one of my very top BM songs. As others have said this was originally on their second album Metal Resistance. It has been sung very sparingly and I believe never outside of Japan. Su sung it a few times early on (a record versions is available on RUclips for the Live At Budokan -Red Night- concert). However she felt at the time she was too young and did not have the emotional experience to sing it properly and so it shelved until the Legend S show when at 20 she felt she was now ready. The contrast between 2015 and 2017 is obvious in her deliveries. It then was shelved again to once more reappear this year during the BM 10th anniversary show back at Budokan where her performance is if anything even better.
I forgot what the video was, but when I saw Su- open her mouth wide and sing, I have been once worried before, that her chin wouldn't come off. Thank you from Japan.
Su-Metal interpretations of a song is different from any singer out there. She doesn't know about Yuimetal health hiatus and her final performance with the late Mikio Fujioka. Su-Metal uses her emotions and sincerity coincides with the song. Su-Metal owns the songs. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬
It’s a very special song to Suzuka. She lost her grandparents in the bombing of Hiroshima ❤❤❤ you can see her tears and you can hear it in her cracked voice.
36歳の若さで逝ってしまった藤岡幹大さん。今でも彼の素晴らしいギター🎸プレイを聴くと涙腺が緩んでしまう。Mikio Fujioka disappeared at the young age of 36. Even now,when I listen to his wonderful guitar play,my lacrimal glands loosen. From 🇯🇵
Hi Miki, great reaction. I am sorry this comment is so long but have been watching your Babymetal reactions and like the way you give solid analysis of the songs you react to. I am now diving back through others you have reacted to. Whether you react to this or not, of course up to you, but I would like to suggest that you take a look at a performance that didn't go to plan for Baby Metal. Unusual in itself. The video is of Babymetal performing at the 2016 Alternative Performers Music Awards (I think the APMA hold the copyright for this one so you probably wont get blocked for it). (ruclips.net/video/TD85aM0VQ3o/видео.html) This video shows Babymetal facing an audience that either doesn't like them, or don't know about them and the reaction at the beginning is cold to say the least. The video features the then recently released song Karate. Babymetal is then joined on stage by Rob Halford (lead singer of Judas Priest) for two songs, where Su sings with Halford solely in English (again, super unusual). For the first song Su and Halford sing (Painkiller), it is just the Cami Band, Su and Halford. For the second song (Breaking The Law), Su introduces two "special" guitarists. At which time Yui and Moa join everyone on stage with guitars. It is known that Moa had been learning guitar for a number of years prior to this, but I don't know about Yui. I think this can be seen in the video as Yui, apart from a few basic chords, looks like she is acting with the guitar, while Moa looks like she is teaching Mikio how to play. If you watch Moa's finger-work when the camera cuts to her you can see her playing her butt off. This was another surprise as I didn't know til then that the girls could play guitar. It is more widely known that Yui and Moa both play piano. Anyway, as usual in Babymetal world, they won over the crowd. They also seemed to have a big impact on Rob Halford as well as the performance was meant to be Karate and Painkiller, but Rob was having so much fun in rehearsal that he wanted to do another song with Su. That is where the band had to half learn the second song. I think that is where Moa and Yui came in with the guitars to cover the Cami Band from not knowing how to fully play Breaking The Law. As such, they just learned the key sections and then turned it into an epic jam session. Rob Halford has said in interviews since that he would like to learn to do a song in Japanese with Babymetal. Potentially, no higher praise from a metal God. Anyway, I hope you at least look at it privately. Thanks for your great reacts and warm wishes for your future.
Baby Metal ：No Rain No Rainbow Rough English translation. Why can't I sleep? Why does the night end at dawn as I can't sleep? I don't need anything, even tomorrow. I don't need a future without you. Why were you always laughing? Why did I feel lonely? No one knows, but I really just wanted you to be by my side. Even seemingly hopeless things would turn into light. Even if it was raining for a long time. Even despair may one day turn into light. Rainbow will appear in the sky after a sad rain Everywhere in the sky. We'll never see each other again. I want to remember you forever. If the dream of being with you continues, I don’t want to wake up the dream. Why were you always laughing? Why was I lonely? No one knows, but I really wanted to be with you, that's all. Even what seems hopeless would turn into light. Even if it was raining for a long time. Even despair may one day turn into light. Rainbow will appear in the sky after a sad rain. Even now. Even if it continues the rain, it might one day fill my heart.
Su might be not the best singer in terms of vocal/technique, but she's one of rare complete package. Ballads, metal, or anything. Powerful, controlled, stage presence, expression, endurance(90minutes dance is almost on par with half marathon),i can only count with finger some singer who dance like that and but still in pitch whole set.
The unstoppable rain expressed in this song represents the rain that falls after the atomic bomb is dropped. The rain is also described as black rain. Hiroshima is the city where the atomic bomb was dropped. Those born and raised there learn about the rain that falls after the atomic bomb is dropped. Under the black rain, even despair is so miserable that it feels like light. Hiroshima was revived after the atomic bomb was dropped. It has developed into a town where one million people live. Destruction and regeneration. There is no unstoppable rain. No rain no rainbow.
The song is said to be in memory of friends who died in the black rain that fell from the clouds of the explosion when the atomic bomb was dropped on her hometown of Hiroshima.
I'd just like to correct something. I'm sure you just misspoke but just to get it in words here: this is NOT a tribute to the bombing of Hiroshima, but to the victims of that awful atrocity.
@@pigeonchatter4536 fools? please do not insult me. I just said the truth. Dont you know babymetal is coming to an end on Oct 10th this year? Literally they will be the thing in the past.

She is a master at doing that but in a very subtle way. You will never see her over-sell a song and that is one of the many things I like about her.

My Daughter was at the concert and she said it was magical. I have always believed that the UN building should have been built in Hiroshima with the Shadow people lining the entrance to remined them all what they are there for every time they enter.
I like how she sings from soft to powerful seamlessly.

SuMETAL には歌が上手とか下手とかではない次元の、いわゆる琴線に触れる歌声なんです。
しかも結構年齢的に上の人達が特に、だと感じます。この原理を解き明かせばノーベル賞ものだと思います、何せ同じ症状の人が多いこと多いこと。
今回もBABYMETAL のリアクト動画ありがとうございます。
我らおぢさんの琴線を直に掴んで揺さぶってくる歌声。大人っぽく美しすぎても邪悪さをはらむし、幼すぎても心を掴むには不十分。人間の心の邪悪さに疲れきった中年の魂を洗い流すようなとでもいうのか、大人の女性と少女の境目を絶妙に見極めたような邪気のない歌声。
Su is just amazing in this song so much emotion 🤘❤🤘 nice vocals from you as well❤

It’s a very special song to Suzuka. She lost her grandparents in the bombing of Hiroshima ❤❤❤ you can see her tears and you can hear it in her cracked voice.
36歳の若さで逝ってしまった藤岡幹大さん。今でも彼の素晴らしいギター🎸プレイを聴くと涙腺が緩んでしまう。Mikio Fujioka disappeared at the young age of 36. Even now,when I listen to his wonderful guitar play,my lacrimal glands loosen. From 🇯🇵
こんな聞き取りやすい英語は初めて！😮
🤘🦊🤘
何より、貴女が心地よさそうに聴いている事が嬉しいです。😭
Hi Miki, great reaction. I am sorry this comment is so long but have been watching your Babymetal reactions and like the way you give solid analysis of the songs you react to. I am now diving back through others you have reacted to.
Whether you react to this or not, of course up to you, but I would like to suggest that you take a look at a performance that didn't go to plan for Baby Metal. Unusual in itself.
The video is of Babymetal performing at the 2016 Alternative Performers Music Awards (I think the APMA hold the copyright for this one so you probably wont get blocked for it). (ruclips.net/video/TD85aM0VQ3o/видео.html)
This video shows Babymetal facing an audience that either doesn't like them, or don't know about them and the reaction at the beginning is cold to say the least. The video features the then recently released song Karate. Babymetal is then joined on stage by Rob Halford (lead singer of Judas Priest) for two songs, where Su sings with Halford solely in English (again, super unusual). For the first song Su and Halford sing (Painkiller), it is just the Cami Band, Su and Halford. For the second song (Breaking The Law), Su introduces two "special" guitarists. At which time Yui and Moa join everyone on stage with guitars. It is known that Moa had been learning guitar for a number of years prior to this, but I don't know about Yui. I think this can be seen in the video as Yui, apart from a few basic chords, looks like she is acting with the guitar, while Moa looks like she is teaching Mikio how to play. If you watch Moa's finger-work when the camera cuts to her you can see her playing her butt off. This was another surprise as I didn't know til then that the girls could play guitar. It is more widely known that Yui and Moa both play piano.
Anyway, as usual in Babymetal world, they won over the crowd. They also seemed to have a big impact on Rob Halford as well as the performance was meant to be Karate and Painkiller, but Rob was having so much fun in rehearsal that he wanted to do another song with Su. That is where the band had to half learn the second song. I think that is where Moa and Yui came in with the guitars to cover the Cami Band from not knowing how to fully play Breaking The Law. As such, they just learned the key sections and then turned it into an epic jam session.
Rob Halford has said in interviews since that he would like to learn to do a song in Japanese with Babymetal. Potentially, no higher praise from a metal God.
Anyway, I hope you at least look at it privately. Thanks for your great reacts and warm wishes for your future.
I always thought this song had a very QUEENesque sound to it.
Baby Metal ：No Rain No Rainbow
Rough English translation.
Why can't I sleep?
Why does the night end at dawn as I can't sleep?
I don't need anything, even tomorrow.
I don't need a future without you.
Why were you always laughing?
Why did I feel lonely?
No one knows, but I really just wanted you to be by my side.
Even seemingly hopeless things would turn into light.
Even if it was raining for a long time.
Even despair may one day turn into light.
Rainbow will appear in the sky after a sad rain
Everywhere in the sky.
We'll never see each other again.
I want to remember you forever.
If the dream of being with you continues,
I don’t want to wake up the dream.
Why were you always laughing?
Why was I lonely?
No one knows, but I really wanted to be with you, that's all.
Even what seems hopeless would turn into light.
Even if it was raining for a long time.
Even despair may one day turn into light.
Rainbow will appear in the sky after a sad rain.
Even now.
Even if it continues the rain, it might one day fill my heart.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🤘
I agree …☔🌤️🌈

Su might be not the best singer in terms of vocal/technique, but she's one of rare complete package. Ballads, metal, or anything. Powerful, controlled, stage presence, expression, endurance(90minutes dance is almost on par with half marathon),i can only count with finger some singer who dance like that and but still in pitch whole set.
The unstoppable rain expressed in this song represents the rain that falls after the atomic bomb is dropped. The rain is also described as black rain.
Hiroshima is the city where the atomic bomb was dropped. Those born and raised there learn about the rain that falls after the atomic bomb is dropped. Under the black rain, even despair is so miserable that it feels like light.
Hiroshima was revived after the atomic bomb was dropped. It has developed into a town where one million people live. Destruction and regeneration. There is no unstoppable rain.
No rain no rainbow.
あなたの歌声も素敵です
The song is said to be in memory of friends who died in the black rain that fell from the clouds of the explosion when the atomic bomb was dropped on her hometown of Hiroshima.
This song and concert especially are copyright spanked on the regular, how did you manage to keep this up more than a week lol
Cant wait for you to look up Band Maid :)
I'd just like to correct something. I'm sure you just misspoke but just to get it in words here: this is NOT a tribute to the bombing of Hiroshima, but to the victims of that awful atrocity.
The two guitars are epic
この時の歌い方は試行錯誤の時かもしれないけど、あまりよくない
ストレートな良さが消えかけている
babymetal has past their time...its a bit too old.
@@pigeonchatter4536 fools? please do not insult me. I just said the truth. Dont you know babymetal is coming to an end on Oct 10th this year? Literally they will be the thing in the past.
If your after another great emotional song. Check out "Shine" from the Legend M show. I can never get past the intro without bawling my eyes out.
HIROSIMA.
