She’s said it’s one of the most difficult ones to sing.

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩ [MOA] SU-METAL will slash you. Really. [YUI] Yeah. [SU] (laughs) (Megitsune video commentary from the BABYMETAL members) Su was 15. Yui and Moa were 13, almost 14 when this video was released. Even though they were wearing white robes, that wasn't the Kami Band that they have for the live concerts. The performers pretending to play the traditional Japanese instruments in this video are dancers with the Movement Design group. Chidori Yakumo is their director. She is the woman performing the fan dance during the breakdown. I'm glad you caught that flash in her eyes behind the mask. Megitsune is my jam. Still my favorite BABYMETAL song, video and choreography. It's definitely quintessential BABYMETAL and their most Japanese song. BABYMETAL's producer Koba sent this song back to the song arranger Yuyoyuppe dozens of times before he was happy with the final result. Much of the video was shot on location on a Noh drama stage by the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo.
From music, lyrics, choreography, costumes, instruments, and scenery, it is full of the atmosphere of traditional Japanese culture. This is the MV of BabyMetal from Japan.
Megitsune is such a cool and unique song (and video). To me it‘s the one that characterizes BABYMETAL best, because it combines all the elements that make them so special - traditional and modern elements in both lyrics and music, beautiful melodies and heavy riffs, the energetic dancing, the infectious smiles, the positive mood, amazing vocals... it‘s all there and makes for an incredibly fun and entertaining package. If you‘d like to see them even younger, check out their very first song and music video, „Doki Doki Morning“: ruclips.net/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/видео.html
Great reaction - and great choice of song. 'Megitsune' regularly tops fan polls for their favourite song and has been played live more than any of their songs. It reflects a lot of the Japanese culture starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains why the fox masks were so prominent in this video) which in Japanese mythology are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The breakdown with the pig squeals (yes that was screaming you heard) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su pulled the short blade (tanto) from her microphone she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). This is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss. Much of the video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo. The guys at the back waving the traditional instruments (and their hair) about were dancers belonging to the company of the lady in the fox mask who did the fan dance during the breakdown.
The Kami Band are all male except for the Babymetal girls.There's some of the finest musicians and specifically handpicked for Babymetal. The late Mikio Fujioka the guitarist who passed away on the 5th of January 2018 was a music professor and Takayoshi Ohmura and Leda was his pupil.
Inari Okami is associated with foxes and also prosperity and material success. So perhaps Koba is doing a bit of a "Malcolm McLaren" on us.The ferocity of the merchandising blitz around BM's ten year anniversary might be evidence of that. The best version of this song for me was done at a concert where the entire audience was female. The lyrics about how women have often had to hide their true nature and feelings followed by Su and the crowd shouting "madiens shouldn't be underestimated" is great.
Doki Doki Morning was their first song recorded close to Su's 13th birthday. The other girls were 11yo. I'm glad you noticed the microphone knife. You would be surprised how many people miss that.
Great reaction, Megitsune is my favorite Babymetal song. Normally I prefer live versions but this MV is really good. The performance at Red Mass ( only female fans) was awesome, when Su said "otome wa name tara ikan zeyo" (Maidens shouldn't be underestimated) the crowd exploded.
Everytime I came to a new reaction there's always some Babymetalpedia answering your questions lol That's awesome 😎 Ok I saw no one told you this: after the breakdown you will hear someone screaming "Gooooool" which is the typical shout of soccer relators, and that one was the goal made it by Diego Maradona from Argentina (goal of the century) to England at World Cup Mexico 1986, everyone know Japan loves soccer because of Diego Maradona (RIP) 😎 Ok I made it all that 😂 But the goal scream is in there thou. 😁 Keep watching Babymetal and let the Fox Hole drives you 🦊🤘❤️
Nice one, thanks! "Megitsune" is a classic, a fan favorite (me included) and their most played live song (234 times till date and counting!). In my opinion this one is the perfect and maximum exponent of their own genre, the kawaii metal. Until next time!
Great reaction guys Hope you could react to the newer Crazy performance IN THE NAME OF HD This one is just jaw dropping Also this song is the one they use to open the two concerts at BUDOCAN this week Just saying
Nice video! I guess that it's pretty unusual for you to see Su with her hair down😅 and how the musicians in the back headbangs. If I'm not mistaken, they're also those in the Headbanger Music Video. This is probably the most favorite song of the fans for all time. And it also has the most epic breakdown in their discography. That is screaming you hear in the breakdown part. It's just not stated who is actually doing the scream and growls in their songs (like CMIYC, Iine!, GJ!, Song 4, Tales of the Destinies, and others). Looking forward to the reaction to the guide! Kitsunes up!
Idk if it’s too late and if you’ve already filmed your reaction, the NEW BABYMETAL Guide is done and ready if you wanna react to that instead: ruclips.net/video/LcRLmizE4C0/видео.html
PLEASE REACT TO GEORGE NOZUKA - TALK TO ME AND I PROMISE YOU, ALL OF CANADA WILL SUBSCRIBE TO YOU BECAUSE HE IS HALF JAPANESE HALF WHITE CANADIAN AND MICHAEL JACKSON, THE KING OF POP IS HIS ULTIMATE IDOL 🐷🇯🇵🇨🇦
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。When I came to this comment area several hour after you uploaded, everything has been already explained by BM fans in the world including Japanese culture. It is convenient for me because their explanation is true and correct. As Grington300 300 explained below, when Su-Metal pulled the short blade from her microphone at 04:36, she said like "Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated". James, You understood this statement was true with your wife, Sandy, from Thailand like I did with my Japanese wife. Wife is wife after all 😄. BABYMETAL played this song in the 2 shows last week at Budokan and I witnessed their great performance at the venue. We could not shout or chant, however, because the audiences were not allowed to make a noise as a countermeasure against infection. I contained my excitement and only gave a moan under the dual mouth covers (my own mask + a mouth cover with BABYMETAL logo distributed to each audience). That was experience of bliss, though
You're my favourite reaction channel now. I highly, highly recommend you react to Sakura Gakuin's song Heart no Hoshi. Su-metal had left by then but Moa and Yui are still there and it's one of the catchiest and cutest jpop song you'll ever see and hear. ruclips.net/video/SX19EYydv6Q/видео.html
It's meh git sue nay with the emphasis on the second syllable. mehGITsuenay. Not a fan of the unhelpful guide. It's written by a feminist and it shows. Apart from the man-hating the information is not wrong but it's presented in a weird way. I prefer the factual style of 'the history of Suzuka Nakamoto'. It's much much shorter but not a full story of Babymetal of course but it's most of it.
Hey Scott, which part/parts of The Unhelpfull Guide is man-hating? I haven't seen it recently so I can't say for sure but I do not recall any PC bullshit in it (and I am usually quick to notice it).
@@piotrtoborek2442 there is a part where the voice says that Babymetal is for young girls and not for middle aged metal guys to enjoy... And then there are a few other parts where she implies men have been harassing some of the girls, and we didn't see any real prove or news of the sort.

I'm still surprised only 2 reactors has done anything on those Babymetal commentary videos...
Yeah, your wife is correct, the fox mask in this video is sold throughout Japan - not exclusive to BM.
The midway point of the song Megitsune is taken from the traditional music of Japan song "Cherry Blossom".

There was a female kami but for only one performance I think?
Megitsune is Pure BABYMETAL
BABYMETAL FOREVER

Meg-it-soo-nay (Megitsuné) I can’t take my eyes off your own “kitsuné” or Fox Dog.... so cute!
It's pronounced MEH-GIT-SOO-NEH. Hope I'm right. The Babymetal fans will help you in your Babymetal journey. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤟
Great Idea to have your fox in front of the camera at a Megitsune reaction ;-) But she seems to be unimpressed, more like "I could do that too" 😄
Haha thank you! And agree 🦊
A masterpiece!
Good reaction and I agree lots of love for the Kamiband.

I've got a microphone and I'm not afraid to use it
When Su pulls the Tanto (japanese dagger) from the mic she is saying "Maidens shouldn't be underestimated"

SORE SORE SORE SORE ! ! !
