Great reaction. 'Metal Kingdom' is the opening track on the album and they have gone for the big, epic, cinematic opening number. You were right, that was Moa you heard. 'Divine Attack' actually follows on from 'Metal Kingdom' and hearing them together in that order also makes more sense of them. It does sound, from what I've heard so far, that this album will be highlighting Su-metal's vocals as much as anything (and why not, she has an increedibly beautiful voice), but we can only wait to see what all the other songs really sound like before passing judgement - and only after seeing and hearing what they do when they play them live with the Kami Band will we really know what we think. They played their first live shows in nearly two years this weekend just gone - and they did use 'Metal Kingdom' for the big, spectacular, theatrical opening song with Su and Moa appearing on huge metal thrones that look like they're made of hundreds of arms and fists holding swords.
Oh boy, sounds amazing. Please let me know if there's any good live showings of this song. In the other comment, it was mentioned that, so far, the quality is not the best.
@@xsezz I have only seen a very shaky fancam that was having to be hidden away a lot so they didn't get thrown out so far. We may have to wait for the DVD (or the shows may be being streamed late in March - I think I read that somewhere).

Welcome to BabyMetal's metalverse🦊🤘🌐 Glad to see you're back with another new BM single. 💯 They did it again with this epic anthem as the perfect opener for this new album, prior to this all the tracks were already teased with the full titles, can't wait for Time Wave and also Light and Darkness which was premiere during last concerts past weekend, but so far all the songs sounds really good. SuMetal did a wonderful job with her vocal range in this one and MoaMetal too with her backing chorus. I'm getting FDTD vibes from this song and totally love it, is one of my favorites, but also I'm getting some Within Temptation vibes with the symphonic touch, another band that I love. You're gonna have to wait to see the live version is even more epic, it'll hit you in another way, meanwhile is only audio and fancam around with bad sound, SuMetal, the girls and a lot of more "soldiers" are holding a sort of spear or trident, is like they're letting the METAL KINGDOM come.🙌 The day after album release they will livestream the show at WOWOW. Here's the lyrics translated, thanks for sharing this and kitsune up.🦊🤘🔥 *METAL KINGDOM* lyrics: LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal [Verse 1: Sumetal] We’re going through the passing times This world is crumbling We live while wandering A heart lost in darkness Hold me tight until dawn In that bright place Aim for tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your hands to the lord Raise your voice to the world Raise your flag. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey. Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Raise the signal, go on without hesitation Trust your friend [Bridge: Sumetal] Negative words I don’t need a way back In that bright place Let’s live tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your head to the lord. Raise your sword to the sky Raise your fists. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Prove it Burn your life Believe in miracles [Verse 2: Sumetal] It’s the beginning song Deliver our voice Resonate, our voices Open up a new era Let it ring, it’s our voice Play it, our singing voice [Chorus: Sumetal] The sword of pledge Raise it up for tomorrow The unknown path Create it with those hands Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM It’s dawn, bathing in the light Cut through the darkness
In case you wanna know, here's some little bit of info I gathered from some kitsune around about latest live concerts, big thanks to *Flugelhorn* to helping with some of this. Also look for his comment for more detailed info as well from Minami Hideki and Michael M, all privileged souls attending those concerts. *BABYMETAL RETURNS "The Other One"* live at Makuhari Messe 2023 Backup dancer (avenger): Momoko Okazaki. Kami Band: Takayoshi Ohmura, ISAO, BOH, Hideki Aoyama. Tracklist: 13 songs (5 new + 8 old) 1) METAL KINGDOM * 2) Divine Attack - 神撃 * 3) Distortion 4) PA PA YA! 5) Gimme Chocolate!! 6) Megitsune (Extended Intro) 7) Doki Doki Morning (1) 8) Light and Darkness + 9) Monochrome * 10) Headbanger!! 11) Ijime Dame Zettai 12) Road Of Resistance Encore: 13) THE LEGEND + * Live premiere + World premiere (1) DDM was performed by original BM and another new BM unit wearing old BM costume with red color skirt. Apparently SuMetal's doppelganger was played by Miko Todaka from Sakura Gakuin (same group they all come from). SuMetal's mirror: Miko Todaka (SG) MoaMetal's mirror: Kokona Kato (Amuse) Momoko's (avenger) mirror: Sakia Kimura (SG) Another highlight was at Monochrome, during the bridge SuMetal ask everyone to raise their smartphone and said something like this: Su-chan: "I want everyone's lights to illuminate this dark world (?) (in English) Turn on your camera light (maybe?) "Yes! It's so beautiful! This one too!" She was also humming throughout this section. It was really beautiful. I think someone mentioned they were doing sound check and rehearsing with Time Wave and another song i don't remember right now. A new teaser about THE ONE reborn was released. My two cents theory is the new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, is gonna be used in between performance (just like Black Babymetal back then) to play older BM kawaii songs, such CMIYC or Iine!, as well to give the girls a break time, but like always OTFGK. Also new member will be announced as an official member, most likely Momoko, during the new live shows BABYMETAL BEGINS at PIA Arena MM Yokohama in Fox Day. 🦊🤘🔥
@@xsezz We don't have any more info but most likely a new official member will be singing with MoaMetal, i guess is time since is probably too much work only for Moa-chan, although Momoko isn't signed with Amuse, she's independent, we'll see about it next April and what's gonna happen with the new BM mirror unit from another world. ⚠️ Here's a short TV clip about the show with exclusive proshot footage and next WOWOW livestream after album release.🦊🤘🌐 Code YT: Z43LluRwfUE
I attended BABYMETAL's 2-day concert last week and felt that the song is HEAVY METAL if you listen to it, but HAPPY METAL if you see them on stage, and KAWAII is the bridge between the two 😁. If I may say so, they have grown a little cooler 😊. But the cute part was still the same 😁.
You didn't scroll down far enough it's right below the listing albums and singles they don't treat it as the video because it's not it's just audio only
Going to copy paste yet again as I been watching as many reactors as I can. 😁 Su sounds so beautiful. Like really really beautiful. It's like she is singing me a story straight into my heart. And when Moa came in with her English lines. OMG I about died and went to heaven. Absolute chills and overwhelming feelings of being proud of her. I actually got a little choked up. She needs more lines in other songs and I would really love a true duet with Su. I think she is very happy concentrating on dancing and supporting Su, but her voice is pure warmth. This song is going to be nothing short of epic LIVE. (from what I heard and little that I saw from the shows this past weekend it was very much EPIC.) I see others saying it's the weakest of the 3 songs so far but I don't feel that way at all. I can see how this is a little long with some of the chants but I feel like this was done in mind to just get the crowd really involved. This song sounds amazing in my car. Those drums boom! I can also see this as an anime Music Video. Animated Su and Moa and possibly the Kami band getting suited up in Samurai armor and raising the ONE battle flag. 🤘🦊🤘
I watched this song live at their show on Saturday! When Su- sat on the throne of the monochorme set, took the same colour outfits, started singing it off, and I saw it on the big screen, I thought for a second that the 'Alien Queen' was singing it, ha. To tell you the truth, I felt that Su- was still not getting used to the way she sang, and I guess she went a little out of some notes. Mr. Takano Seminar has pointed the same thing out on his YT channnel right after the shows and I agreed with it. But on the contrary, it was very raw and I felt like we stood in front of the live show, and was rather so good. It got goosebumps for me, haha. Thank you from Japan!
i heard a few fancams of this and i think so too but this is a hard song to sing and it has been like 2 years from her on stage so first time out is hard also. but to me i love hearing her true voice even if it is off tune because we see she is really singing this live. later this year she will be back in form.
@@raycollins511 I think so too.😀 But I was in a far back position from the stage that day, so I missed a lot of important scenes. 'Delay viewings' are going to be scheduled for February 23 in Japan at film theaters around the country, and since general tickets will go on sale on February 18, so I plan to be one of the first to get my hands on one and go to see it.
![The Warning - Apologize [LIVE DEBUT] | Live; Toronto (30-10-2024)](/img/1.gif)
They sing this song live yesterday for first time with new outfit, big throne, new bo staff and everybody chantting. Not a cult 🤘
Siiick!

*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics:
LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God
ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal
[Verse 1: Sumetal]
We’re going through the passing times
This world is crumbling
We live while wandering
A heart lost in darkness
Hold me tight until dawn
In that bright place
Aim for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your hands to the lord
Raise your voice to the world
Raise your flag. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey. Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Raise the signal, go on without hesitation
Trust your friend
[Bridge: Sumetal]
Negative words
I don’t need a way back
In that bright place
Let’s live tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your head to the lord.
Raise your sword to the sky
Raise your fists. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey
Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Prove it Burn your life
Believe in miracles
[Verse 2: Sumetal]
It’s the beginning song
Deliver our voice
Resonate, our voices
Open up a new era
Let it ring, it’s our voice
Play it, our singing voice
[Chorus: Sumetal]
The sword of pledge
Raise it up for tomorrow
The unknown path
Create it with those hands
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
It’s dawn, bathing in the light
Cut through the darkness
