He's got the silly smile wiped all over his face while watching a Babymetal live performance video. He is so f@cking diving head first into the Fox Hole 😂😂😂
It took how many seconds? 😆
My wife, two of our friends, and I traveled to Japan earlier this year to see Nemophila at Budokan, BAND-MAID at Zepp Yokohama, and to see Babymetal twice at Yokohama Arena. All three shows were great, but Babymetal is such a different experience than any other concert I've been to. The sense of unity among the fans, how physical and exhausting it was, how surprisingly-emotional it was, the size and scope of it all . . . it was great.
That's sounds EPIC! I'd love to visit Japan one day. Great choice of bands you decided to see too 👍
Yes, I believe that visiting a Babymetal concert in Japan is among the heaviest thing you can do. The audience is nuts and large. They know all coreo. And there is even mosh pits. Orderly circular mosh pits, but anyhow. Mosh pits in Japan is not common.
I just celebrated my 57th birthday last week. I found Babymetal in 2017 and have it on a loop in my car. Haven't felt the need for anything else since. Best thing since sliced bread in my opinion. ❤❤❤
I don't listen to music.. I listen to Babymetal
But there is so much great music out there! You should still allow yourself the luxury to dabble in other bands.
@@melvinthinks Agreed. Tons of great music to transport us made every day. Even if I do return to Babymetal so often.
@@melvinthinksThe obsession with all things Babymetal is known as, “falling down the foxhole.” Some never return.👊🏽⚡️🤘🏾🦊
@@faceplantor5647 Only Don't P.O. The Fox God, he will Give Rise to Sumetal pointing &, sending you off into the Frogs Pit 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸!!!!
Generally speaking, Babymetal fans are pretty chill - even if you don't get it, or care for it - as long as you don't disrespect the girls. That puts people on the warpath.
Anyone who is disrespectful normally ends up like Custers last stand when the One go on the warpath 🤣 like you said dont have to like it just dont be disrespectful 😁🤘🏼🦊
If you don't like something, just skip it and move on with your life. But some people will purposefully and publicly 'dislike' and express their displeasure because they know it will rile people and gain attention. Unless it's U2 or Coldplay. I will openly tear those bands to bits! lol
@@melvinthinksokay Coldplay I get, but U2? Why U2? As far as I’m concerned they are legends.
Because I can't stand Bono 🤣
@@melvinthinks Fair enough.
I have a personal anecdote .. I'm 47, my wife and I saw Babymetal twice in Texas last year and they blew my mind! Even being in their mid 20s now they seemed to have even MORE energy on stage! Their stege presence and confidence is something I could almost physically feel .. Su's voice live pushed into my chest!
The amount of personal crowd interaction also was wild! In Dallas we were VERY close to the stage and got direct smiles and waves.
They are truly a force to be reckoned with!!
They make me laugh and smile and feel young again! Their relentless energy is infectious and their positive messaging in their songs is inspirational to me!
It's messages like this that make me excited to hear more 👍
The first time I heard BABYMETAL back in 2014, I thought it wasn't a band for me and I just passed on having heard only "Gimme Chocolate".
It's been almost a year since I rediscovered the band and it has become my undisputed favorite by far.
Honestly, I think almost everyone can like this group, but you have to find the song that clicks with you, "Metali!!" in my case.
That's a good and honest way to look at it. Wonder what my tune will be 🤔
@@melvinthinks Well, there's only one way to find out, right?
BABYMETAL are awesome. You have so much to see and hear. You’ll soon find out why they are loved and why they deserve that love.
Can't wait!
Sonisphere UK 2014. The Festival that Made BABYMETAL in the West.
I got into metal in the 90's with White Zombie and Pantera, worked my way through everything that came before, was there when Korn dropped their first album, and have listened to a LOT of different genres and been to a ton of shows in my life. I'm one of the last years of Gen-X, and have adult kids of my own now. Babymetal is one of my new favorites, they bring the energy and their music also puts me in a good and positive mood. It's a refreshing experience, and they bring it with precision and perfection every single time.
Great reaction. Metalhead here from the late 80s / early 90s and then late 2000s with roots in Thrash/Speed/Power/Deathmetal and later Metalcore and Melodeath. And now proud supporter of an incredibly fantastic band from Japan with three wonderful women and a fanbase that spans the entire globe. Who would have thought. More Babymetal please. And greetings from Germany. Forver THE ONE 🤘🦊🤘
Thank you and welcome to the channel, buddy 😁
Best live band on the planet these girls know how to put on a show,welcome to the Foxhole 🦊
The concert this is from Legend 97 is worth watching from start to the most incredible finish.
I've got a lot to catch up on! lol
BabyMetal makes me happy and that is important.
So does beer for me 🍻 😁
Careful, the BabyMetal journey is full of interesting things. I was in Japan last year fro the Tokyo Bring me the Horizon concert, and BabyMEtal was there. Look up Live BMTH KingSlayer Live in Tokyo Featuring BabyMetal and You'll see some epic crab stomping, epic vocals and deep head banging at the end :)
All in due course, Don 😁
The band is f'n PHENOMENAL on top of the girls singing and dancing
It's like they're doing a HIIT workout! lol
I really think you might like their song Syncopation. Thanks for the great reaction!
Cheers Mark!
Babymetal are infectious. There is no resisting their charm. Keep in mind that when they did this performance, Su-metal the lead vocalist had just turned 16, and Yuimetal (on the left) and Moametal (on the right) were 14.
You're right about Kobametal, but the Kami band aren't involved in the song writing, they don't even play on the studio albums; they only perform at the live shows. Babymetal have a team of writers who work with Kobametal to create the songs.
Yui's last performance was at the Big Fox Festival in October 2017. However, her formal departure from Babymetal wasn't announced until October 2018.
Babymetal shows are pretty rowdy by Japanese standards, but still very friendly. It's worth noting that they only do these massive stadium spectaculars in Japan. When they go on tour the show gets scaled down for portability.
Babymetal's fanbase is right across the spectrum. When you go to a Babymetal show you will see everything from little kids with their parents, through to retired people. I go to their shows in Japan regularly and I know people from America, the UK, Ireland, Finland, Germany, France, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Colombia. Babymetal fans are all ages and from all corners of the world.
Thanks for the info 👍
absolutely amazing please more Babymetal 🥺🥺💜🫶🏻
Thank you! 🤘
I'm over 50 year dude from Finland and huge fan!
Metal is for everyone! 😁
It was Su-Metal's birthday, and if you look at time stamp , 10:37 you will see Happy Birthday on the Bass players head (normally it is a slash graphic)
🎉🎊🎂
For a recommendation. 'Monochrome' live at PIA Arena, without a doubt. That's a more recent performance, so your context of them will not be limited to just their early days.
The odd and facinating think about Babymetal is they are dynamically oppositional, yet very grounded and traditional at the same time. They are kawaii, but their entire last album was not. They are an idol group, but they're also not really like one at all. They are theatrical but they do more non-theatrical gigs. They can be fun and goofy, or cooly enigmatic within the space of a few minuites. Organised chaos is a great term to decribe them.
You haven't got Babymetal truly figured out until you get to see all sides of them. They have at least 10 different sides to them, and all are the real Babymetal.
So it's definitely a marathon and not a sprint with this band!
The One is the call for Babymetal and fans...
And they made the epic song THE ONE, check this out too🤘
Japanese audiences are indeed generally very reserved and respectful. But that's where the two "screamers" come in. Moa and Yui act as animators for the audience they give them cues when to jump, put their fist in the air or chant. Since Babymetal encourages the audience to be a part of the show, they do so because that is the respectful thing to do. Also you don't want to stand out. If the person on stage tells you to jump and everyone around you jumps, you're also gonna wanna jump to not be ostracized.
Now it all starts to make a lot more sense! 👍😀🤘
Fan base huh? Not many bands could do this:
"Babymetal put on a unique series of shows called The Five Fox Festival. The Japan gigs had either gender or age restrictions or required fans to come in corpse paint.
Black Fox Festival: Males Only
Red Fox Festival: Females Only
Gold Fox Festival: Teenagers Only
Silver Fox Festival: Elementary School Children & 60+ Only
White Fox Festival: Dress Code - Corpse Paint"
You forgot the most important point: every single festival sold out and the Red Fox Festival being one of the wildest🤣 Shout out to the ladies there, btw. Great crowd!
Welcome to the fox hole. To be honest, there are plenty of songs I wouldn't put on a playlist, but there's not a single song I don't thoroughly enjoy watching if I come across it. The older stuff, especially, is as much about the visual component as the musical one. Their last album, tho, I can listen front to back without even missing the visuals. It's all good, but you'll def see how much they've evolved and improved over the years. And Japanese BabyMetal crowds are the best. If you you want to see more god tier crowd control, you can't go wrong with Road of Resistance Live in Japan (another I don't have on a playlist but I will eagerly watch reactions of all day long). 🤘🦊🤘
Cheers dude!
I'm and American in my 50's and have been an a rock and roll and heavy metal fan fan since the early 1980's. Baby Metal is an acquired taste, as they are so different from anything else you've heard. But once you give them a listen 3-4 times, you will realize you either love it, or its not for you. For me it was love right away, and I've been a fan for around a decade!
Great reaction brother
🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
I think when open minded music fans realize they are not pretending to be something their not, the whole thing becomes more clear and enjoyable.
Keep on rocking
💥🎸🥁 🎸💥
Oh and brother, they go much harder and cuter than this.
Cheers man! Much appreciated 👍
They have an immense and diverse repertoire. It’s just incredible. I love Megitsune.
That's the general impression I'm getting from all of these comments 😁
Like many babymetal fans I was bought up on Deep-purple, black Sabbath, crocus, Led Zeppelin ,Pink floyd etc, when musicians could play and vocalists could sing in tune. I stopped listening when it became an excuse for noise, Babymetal have bought me back to the "one" and have enjoyed searching for new music again.
Try : "Rondo of nightmare with gods of mischief" (Budokan Black night), "BMC" : Legend-MM 2023 2024. "Kagerou" (2020 Live) . You are NOT ready for "Death Legend 1997" yet, it will blow your mind.
I was a bit like yourself too, until I started doing reactions on this channel and realised there is SOOOOO much great music out there. You just need to find it. And the Japanese metal scene is AWESOME! And yet, I still haven't even touched the surface 😁
@@melvinthinks yes, I do listen to many new Japanese metal, and diverse music range from many countries (try Eivor, Heilung, Wagakki, - of course there is Bandmaid, Hanabie), and I do return to Babymetal most. I think most important is that I have gone back to listening to music everyday as I enjoy it again. For me, Babymetal gave me that opportunity to find new stuff .
First got into heavy metal in 1978 listening to black sabbath. Loved all the trash/death but more modern metal left me cold. Apathy set in...then I discovered BABYMETAL 3 months ago. Words cannot describe who much I love this band. Just fantastic! Listening to other Japanese bands now. Having fun listening to metal again, first time in years!
Momobanger, the new member as singer of the second part. i love this so much.
Too many comments to read through all of them at this moment. Let me just say they are only one of two that I have traveled to Japan to see. So many experiences, but I’ll sum it up. Never miss an opportunity to see them live.
I can't always respond to every comment and reply, but I certainly make sure I read every single one 😁 This video has certainly kept me busy!
@@melvinthinks and so will the rest of them as you progress through Babymetal performances. Good job
What I've found quite crazy, is usually when I react to a new band for the first time, there is a general trend of a few songs that get recommended to me for my next reaction. With BM, it's pretty much "Listen to them all!" 😂
Babymetal has fans from all ages, genders, all walks of life from all over the world. They're about to tour South America, making it the fifth continent they've toured in. As far as songs, they have a HUGE variety of types of songs from many genres mixed with metal.
In Japanese culture its considered rude to sing along with the lead singer. Which gives the fans their own parts to the songs. You should see one ok rock and their song we are/ renegades/ take what you want.
Ps - they have many styles. One or two songs doesnt really show you what they are capable of. You should hear: from dusk til dawn. One of my favorites ❤
That's interesting to learn. Thank you!
welcome to Babymetal Foxhole.. enjoy and have a good time as all of us
Thank you!
Nice reaction. Team Babymetal is an amazing group. Headbanger is a great song. A coming of age tune. First concert by themselves theybrush to the front of the stage as the lyrics go. Su is an extraordinary talent. And she just keeps adding skills as the years go by. Getting better and better with each album. Check out songs like Shanti Shanti Shanti and Maya to hear some skills. Also a vocal coach pointed out on a reaction to them the Su never seems to cut notes short. She holds them out even while doing the choreography. An amazing feat in itself. Koba built Babymetal around Su because of her vocal power and talent. She can move your emotions with her voice or a glance. The foxhole is deep and full of surprises
Thanks Steve! I definitely noticed their lung and aerobic capacity, especially whilst singing, although I couldn't articulate it and break it down like a vocal coach would 😆
Good reserch and welcome to the edge of the foxhole if you decided you are going to jump in and try somemore . The fan types for BabyMetal They are for everyone . 6 year girls on their fathers shoulders to old metalheads and everthing in between .
Best live band around they are an experience to see .
Surrgest Megitsune live at PIA Arena 2023 one of their first songs and most performed.
😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Cheers dude!
@@melvinthinks 😁🤘🏼🦊
I think the fan base is all over the place. From young to old. I'm in my 70s and have loved them almost from the beginning. Lots of great video performances on youtube !
I've got a lot of catching up to do!
Thank you for your comment. The backing group “KAMI Band” at that time was the best. I think all of them were world class.
And thank you for watching 😄
Welcome to the Fox hole, our friends gave a lot of information in the comments so I like to suggest that always go for the live performances, Its BABYMETAL natural habitat , and pay attention to choose the exact video suggested, we use to choose the best performance of each song.
Take a look at " Road of resistance live in Japan ( Official) "
And thank you for the video 🤘🦊
Generally speaking, my preference is always to react to live videos 😁 But I'll certainly coming back here to try and remember all of the recommendations!
@@melvinthinks That will evolve into the marathon you mentioned. They made A LOT of songs 😉
@@melvinthinks Also, try to avoid live compilations if possible. They're not bad but it's not the greatest way to discover their song in a first hearing.

Welcome to the foxhole. You have to check out Ijime Dame Zettai live at sonisphere 2014 official. The day they took over the world 🔥🦊🔥
🤟😁👍
As a babymetal fan (statistically in the top 1% of listeners in my country) I’m a teenage white girl from central florida, though i moved to east texas a few years back. just to contribute to the ideas of what the fan base is like !!
They definitely have fans from all corners of the earth - which is super cool! 😀
Im 40. I grew up listening to black metal, death metal, and lots of thrash. I remember when Babymetal first came out and i thought it was a gimmick. Not that i dislike gimmicks. I am a GWAR fan, after all.
It took me a long time to revisit this band, but once i did, i just fell in love. This song in particular just stuck in my head. They are very talented, put on a wonderful show, and have a very dedicated fanbase. What more can you ask for, really? I'd say my favorite is "Death" but that just tells you what kind of metal i like 😂
😂😆😂 👍🤟
The crowd's energy is to a large due to Yui and Moa in this performance, their job as Scream/Dance is to provide cues to the crowd on when to shout and jump, and they do it so well. I think they're what make Babymetal stand out from every other great band out there. Su and the Kami band are 10/10 already, Moa/Yui/Momo dial it up to 11.
This is early Babymetal you should do something more recent. I recommend Monochrome. Or if you want to go all the way back to the beginning Doki Doki Morning MV.
I had to start somewhere 😬
@@melvinthinks oh I didn't mean it like that. I'm just saying this was early. Early Babymetal is great. They were so cute.
Great reaction! Welcome to BABYMETAL🤘🦊♪
Thank you 🙏
they have like a performance and dance to every song I respect it. and the band is good and no lame sheet. W babymetal
Welcome to the Foxhole or just another way to say BabyMetal journey.🦊🤘🔥
Nice you got this suggestion to start with this journey and definitely you need to check it out a couple of more of songs to get what BM is all about before watching RATATATA but regardless you're about to get into a wild journey.
Cool you did some research but here's some basic info about them:
BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play on words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal".
They are:
*SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26.
*MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 25.
-YuiMetal- scream and dance, former member since 2018 (last performance was in 2017).
*MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 21 and is the new official member since April 1st last year.
None of them are related.
After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but remember that status changed last year.
About this song:
This is one of fans favorite BM song and it was part of the World Tour 2023/2024, everyone love it and were having a blast with the girls headbanging real hard in the middle section instead of the usual bowing down on their knees or having fun with the cryo smoke gun. They did it last month in some of the Europe Tour shows, and hopefully it'll stay part of the setlist in upcoming tour.
Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! is one of BM fans favorite and got special meaning too. Song is about a 15 years old girl celebrating her birthday going to her first live concert, probably metal, while having melancholy for leaving her childhood behind.
Isn't about any of our girls but they embraced this song like it was made for them, you'll find many special versions of this, even when they celebrate their 20th Birthday.
15 is an important coming of age for Japanese girls, 20 is another important date.
You'll find many more special versions celebrating their birthday, such recently last month when the new official member MomoMetal did it at Legend MM, Yokohama Arena celebrating her "20 Night", we called it "MomoBanger", and the day after her "21 Night" with another different song.
This was at Legend 1997 (that's the title of this live concert referring to SuMetal birthyear) in 2013 celebrating SuMetal 16th Birthday, and the whole concert was special, if you want to know the rest of the songs finishing this, those are:
- "Akatsuki" Unfinished Version, a beautiful SuMetal solo version with only a piano behind, the original song is a power/speed metal balad
- "Babymetal Death", be ready for this insane ending,
Legend 1997 was an special live concert, and along with Legend 1999 celebrating Yui and MoaMetal birthday are tied together to represent the commitment of these girls with this group, a new rebirth.
The live concert and also this song got plenty of tributes to the greatest metal bands, like Metallica and X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The statue behind is SuMetal resemblance and is a tribute to Metallica's Lady Justice.
The official MV is also creepy for some fans, I guess the organ gave that effect, you'll also see the neckbrace there for the first time which is a tribute to Yoshiki from X-Japan.
Another thing that you don't see so much here in their live performance is, when YuiMetal and MoaMetal are having fun with cryo or smoke gun, the choreography on this part is with them down on their knees and doing the "dogeza hedoban" which is like bowing down back and forth summoning the metal spirit represented by the neckbrace while SuMetal is standing with the mic stick rise up and her relentless death stare, that's another moment we called -NotACult- 👀
The Kami Band here are insane set of elite musicians who were send to help with the metal sound, "kami" means roughly "god", they're wearing burial white robes and corpse face paint to represent those spiritual entities.
They rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (especially the guitarrists).
They are:
- Míkio Fujioka, god of guitar, a beloved member, sadly he passed away in 2018. (R.I.P.), he's the one doing that sick solo.
- Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording some albums tracks.
- BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but her fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP. You can see at the end (when SuMetal is crawling upstairs) his head got written "Happy Birthday".
- Hideki Aoyama,, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father was very famous in Japanese music scene.
During recent World Tour 2023/2024 they got another complete different set of musicians, we called them Western Kami Band, they've been playing with them since 2019, so the Kami Band musicians aren't official members and the girls are the only front women of this group.
I'm gonna leave in my next comment where to get more proshot clips safe to react if YT allows me to do it. Meanwhile next suggestion:
- *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015).
They were at Download Festival 2015 (DragonForce invitation), 2016, 2018 and this year with unfortunate bad weather and short setlist due to it. Also Sonisphere 2014 for the first time in Europe and making a lot of UK fans since then.
See you next time.🦊🤘🔥
Here's the list of live performance clips usually safe to reacts without any filters so you won't need to rely on live compilations, there might be some exceptions:
- Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Legend 1997, SuMetal 16th Birthday in 2013, they got MV of this and is fun, but live is a blast.
ruclips.net/video/LNFiDWJh2FA/видео.html
- Akatsuki, live at Budokan 2014, this is a SuMetal solo.
ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html
- Megitsune, official MV is my first recommendation but is usually blocked if you don't put filters, so if you want live and safe to react, check it out Budokan 2014.
ruclips.net/video/dU38CYkpBvI/видео.html
- Akatsuki Unfinished Version, SuMetal solo again but with only a piano behind special performance at Legend 1997.
ruclips.net/video/nwsinmxTxbo/видео.html
- Babymetal Death, live at Legend 1997, this is the big finale, you're gonna blow your mind with this one.
ruclips.net/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/видео.html
- Catch Me If You Can with Kami Band intro live at Budokan 2014.
ruclips.net/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/видео.html
- Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere Festival 2014, sometimes the official live MV isn't so friendly so you know what to do.
ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html
- Rondo Of Nightmare, with Mischiefs Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, another SuMetal solo but way different than usual happy songs.
ruclips.net/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/видео.html
- Doki Doki Morning, official MV, their very first song and MV full of kawaiiness, usually is safe to react so try it, if you want a live performance, this is the first proshot version with the Kami Band live at Legend 1999 (YuiMetal and MoaMetal 14th birthday).
ruclips.net/video/BSjv9OYtWZ0/видео.html
- Uki Uki Midnight, this one is a follow up to Doki Doki Morning but way different sound, this is the PV, is super fun but the sound isn't so great but at least is live.
ruclips.net/video/Yj-UQIlqsIQ/видео.html
If you want better sound with the Kami Band, then live at Budokan 2014 it is.
ruclips.net/video/ESzY9dL613Q/видео.html
- Onedari Daisakusen, live at Legend 1997, this is a Black Babymetal song, is a subgroup with only YuiMetal and MoaMetal.
ruclips.net/video/1dT1ywYR5So/видео.html
- Iine! again official MV hits way better but if you want live, here live at Budokan 2014.
ruclips.net/video/5sCvYVNeD0w/видео.html
- Karate live at Download Festival 2016, "kitsune6001" got this with a short interview intro.
ruclips.net/video/FKOL6v3Md2c/видео.html
- Road Of Resistance live in Japan official live MV, be careful with the blocked by putting some filters just in case.
ruclips.net/video/zTEYUFgLveY/видео.htmlsi=BsVOSExS25Qndy1H
- Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai - Answer For Animation With You, live at Budokan 2014, not sure if it's still safe, so try some filters, if is audio blocked try to mute or just cut the parts.
ruclips.net/video/M8FKumvh-w8/видео.html
Here's a song you can find at Babymetal Reactor Resource (BMRR), a helpful place to get watermarked logo clips of the original live version to curve the annoying algo.
- GJ! live at Wembley Arena 2016, another Black Babymetal song.

@@jakemuller8626 why do you never recommend something recent with Momoko??
Thanks dude! I tried to do a little research beforehand out of respect, but this is all useful to know 👍
Best way I could describe the fanbase is watching a grizzled 70 year old tattooed, bearded metal head headbanging vigorously at the show alongside a teenage girl in a BABYMETAL costume headbanging just as vigorously.
BABYMETAL is the gateway to both worlds from my perspective. I’ve seen my metal head friends start listening to Jpop/Kpop due to intrigue by BABYMETAL and same with my pop friends now listening to bands like Metallica (which the girls have stated on multiple occasions that they idolize Metallica)
It's pretty cool how many different people they can reach and connect with. Music and metal certainly does bring everyone together. Especially BM! 😬
i wanna go into it already and send you straight to no rain no rainbow .... these girls are beyond talented and su"s voice is jss truly strong and man the great mikio and takayoshi ... as a guitar player their my absolute true inspirations
That was a lovely reaction. Really appreciate the homework you did before reacting to this. This was a pleasure to watch, and you've got my sub. This is a classic Babymetal song that they regularly perform to this day. But now as young women the song too has matured and grown. You've also picked a great time to check out Babymetal as they've been releasing a slew live songs from the 2024 summer concert season. I'll leave a link to one I really like called "Syncopation". And again great job on this reaction. I look forward to more. "Syncopation": ruclips.net/video/4hSiQHPbsbE/видео.html
Thank you and welcome to the channel! 😁 There'll certainly be some more BM, but in the meantime, you can binge all of my other videos and playlists whilst you wait 😉
54 year old fan from Malta. Great honest reaction. 🤘🦊🤘🇲🇹 Liked and subscribed.
I appreciate it. Thank you 🙏
Your comment around 8.00: minute was on point.
The fanbase is diverse.
Cheers mate 😄
Great reaction, and thanks for keeping an open mind and "giving them a go"! I would suggest "Road of Resistance" either the live in Japan version (the most popular) ruclips.net/video/zTEYUFgLveY/видео.html - OR, the newest rendition from the 2023-2024 tour ruclips.net/video/ymCZqVZFr4M/видео.html. Can't lose with either...or better yet, do a "then and now" reaction! Win win!!
Cheers!
I saw the Planet Terror and Winehouse poster behind you and was immediately like.... "Oh yeah... he's gonna love BabyMetal..." lol. Su-Metal is an INSANE S-Tier vocalist, and their concerts lean into Symphonic Japanese Folk Horror. They're great. Welcome to the foxhole. After being a fan for over a decade its great to have more people coming aboard.
Good observations 😁👍
Crazy aren’t they!!! As you pointed out it’s a coming together of opposite ends of the spectrum and by rights it really really shouldn’t work, but somehow it does. I stumbled on a vid of them at Sonosphere in 2014 and watched as they managed to win over around sixty thousand metal heads who nearly all had no idea who BabyMetal were, it’s also probably fair to say that BabyMetal themselves didn’t quite know what they were getting themselves into as it was a late promotion from a small stage in a tent to the main stage! Their back story and how they’ve got where they are today (the Kami band thought it would be an easy job at first, then found out just how hard the girls worked) is fascinating.
Great reaction, definitely worth checking out more.
Cheers Paul. I'll certainly be back for more. It's entertaining for me and hopefully for you lot! 😁
I believe this was the next to last song in an hour long show. They can still do the same dances 10+ years later. I read somewhere that Moa (one of the dancers) was asked what her workout routine was and she said being in BabyMetal was her workout routine. Don't know if she actually said that, but I believe it. They have insane energy.
😄👍
*Before Babymetal:*
Internet: You will be forever entertained by a bunch of young Japanese teens girls doing cute metal.
Me: HAHAHA GTFO, you've gotta be sh**ting me, that will never happen!
*After Babymetal:*
Me: HEADOBANG! HEADOBANG!! HEADOBANG!!!! [[ commences side to side headbanging ]]
🤣
Hell yeah dude, welcome to Babymetal! Appreciate the fact that you are checking them out first before a collab, althought Ratatata/EC collab is a banger. Babymetal is such an amazing band and their music has such a wide variety of influences, I gaurantee you'll find a chunk of their discography that will end up in your daily playlist. One minor correction: The Kami Band isn't involved with the writing, composition, or arrangements, except for a few songs. That is done by Babymetal's long-standing, and very talented writers.
Also, as of Apr 2023, Kami West (4 Americans) are Babymetal's sole backing band. They have supported Babymetal along with Kami East since 2019, and they are amazing too.
This show was Dec 2013, and celebrated lead Su-metal's 16th birthday (you can see bassist Boh's head art of "happy birthday" when you paused on him). Babymetal are in their mid-20s now, so they have shed their "child-like" cutsiness for a more mature sound today, which some may like more.
Other suggestions:
*Road of Resistance (Pia Arena MM 2023):* Epic power metal battle anthem. Herman Lie and Sam Totman of Dragonforce helped with the guitar parts of this song.
*YAVA! (Legend MM 2024):* Eclectic ska-metal song with an amazing Kami West intro.
*Rondo of Nightmare (Budokan 2014):* Dark, heavy, and ominous, and an amazing Su-metal solo, with an awesome Kami East intro.
*Metali!! (Legend MM 2024):* Fun and groovy festival song featuring Tom Morello on guitar solos, and another epic Kami West intro.
*Monochrome (Pia Arena MM):* One of Babymetal's best songs and performances in my opinion.
Look forward to more Babymetal!! 🤘🦊
Knowing full well I'm going to want to listen to the EC colab, I had to listen to BM in isolation first 🤘
I'd say they still have some cutsiness to them with Momometal. When she gets the mic and not growling, she sings in a very cutsy way.
@@Leslie-Risse Oh for sure, I just meant the early Babymetal child-like cutsiness is gone, and replaced with a young adult version of adorableness as they've gotten older.
At Babymetal concerts I've seen 8 year old girls decked out in hello Kitty clothes, 60 something full on metal dudes with the vest full of metal band patches, and everything in-between. It's a sight and wonderful to behold. To get a sense of what their concerts feel like now you should really check out the live video for Metali (feat. Tom Morello) from the Summer Sonic music fest last year. That really shows how frenetic these crowds can get, and thats also in Japan. Babymetal are a breed apart
Metal definitely is for everyone!
I'm a casual babymetal fan, I don't know a lot about the history but I know they make amazing music! Hopefully I can see them live soon 😊 🦊
Finger cross for you 🤞
The UK is the second house of Babymetal, how is possible you weren't aware😢, they will visit Mexico for the second time in 10 years and I can't go 😢.
Give Baby Metal time: i've needed nearly 2 years to get used to the idol stuff. But when you do, they're great.
Oh, I certainly will! I enjoyed it. Definitely willing to hear more.
Nice. I would recommend either Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 or Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan Black Night next. \m/
👍😁🤟
FUN FACT: In 2019, BABYMETAL became the FIRST Asian artists to ever hit #1 on Billboard’s top rock albums chart with their album "Metal Galaxy". Also, BABYMETAL started in 2010, Band-Maid started in 2013, Lovebites in 2016, and Nemophila in 2019. In other words, BABYMETAL have been at it for quite a long time, basically HALF of their lives!🤘🦊🤘
Which is amazing because Su and the screamers are only 12 years old, combined!😅
@@heyskipj huh?
All great bands you listed here too 🤘
Thanks for reacting to this amazing song! Love the Danger Mouse shirt btw, underrated cartoon.
Hahaha! Thanks Mark. I'm an 80's kid so I love the classic cartoons of that era 😁
IM KINDA AN OLDER FAN BIG METALHEAD AND IT ALL STARTED BECAUSE MY WIFE IS JAPANESE AND I 1ST SAW THEM ON A JAPANESE MUSIC SHOW, KINDA LIKE A TOP TEN THING, AND THAT WAS IT THEY HOOKED ME, I'VE SEEN THEM LIVE THREE TIMES ONE IN THE US AND TWICE IN JAPAN.
At my last show the crowd was, to my left an 8 year old girl in pig tails on her dad's shoulders that would yank on my shirt now and then and tell me how much she loved BabyMetal, my 75 year old mom, some black guy in a cool leather jacket and eventually lost it and dove into the pit never to been seen again, in front was 2 Asian girls and behind me was 3 - 20 something guys drinking like fish..
So my prediction of 'diverse' is pretty accurate then 😊
I’m 55 and I only discovered BM within the last year and they’re the only band I listen to now. They’ve replaced my previous favorite bands Van Halen and Metallica.
Not sure they'll ever replace Metallica for me, but I'll deffo be listening to more.
You'd enjoy Road of Resistance live in japan
It's definitely had a few recommendations, to say the least 😀
Nice reaction. For the next song, I recommend Road of Resistance - Live in Japan which is on BABYMETAL's official channel.
Cheers!
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊Well done whoever was voting for what you should hear first - 'Gimme Chocolate' is great fun at live shows, but it is very divisive and has been known to put metalheads off or even give a wrong impression if it was the first thing they heard.
If and when you do react to 'Gimme Chocolate' please make it a live performance and not the official video (that was a live performance but the audio was from the studio and the Kami Band were not there).
Good research, there is a chance I will repeat some of what you already found out, but I'll carry on anyway.
If you are interested in something original and unique BABYMETAL should be just the thing for you. They formed in 2010 creating their own new metal sub-genre. In the 14 years since then we have watched them grow up (they were aged 12 and 11 when they started) to become one of the very best live bands on the planet (not just my opinion, they have international awards that say the same thing).
They started as a fusion of Metal with J-Pop hooks, melodies and aesthetics including choreographed dance - but not as you know it. Their choreo is not used to titillate or distract like it is by most pop acts etc, it is interpretive, relating to the meaning of the song or a lyric - very handy for us non-Japanese speakers - but most importantly it is used to engage with, include and involve the audience. They are masters of crowd control and can get whole arenas (not just the front rows) jumping, chanting and joining in, following their lead.
As an old school rock and metalhead I had no interest in choreographed dance (and I still don't with any other artists), but BABYMETAL's choreo just enhances and improves everything ... I have no idea how, it just does.
BABYMETAL are:
Su-metal lead vocalist, now 26.
Moametal scream (ie backing vocals, harmonies leading crowd chants etc) and dance, recently turned 25.
Momometal scream and dance, she's 21 and became the official third member on April 1st last year.
The original third member was Yuimetal (scream and dance). She last appeared in October 2017 then missed the big shows for Su's 20th birthday in December under her doctor's advice. She was missing for the 2018 tour and in October 2018 she announced she was still not fully recovered and had decided to leave the band.
Su and Moa continued as a duo for the next 4 or 5 years supported by any one of 3 dancers (the Avengers) for live shows. After about March 2020 only one Avenger was still with them - that was Momoko Okazaki ... and on 1st April 2023 she was finally revealed as the new third member Momometal and got a mic so she can help Moa out with the backing vocals and so on.
They have about 70 songs, each one different to the last. Some are good hard metal (virtually every metal genre is covered) some lean towards their pop roots and they do everything in between as well as mixing and blending many more musical styles and genres with the metal. Their official videos are all very good and worth seeing (3 or 4 are almost essential viewing), but they are even better live.
The Kami Band first appeared in October 2012 and were phased in over the next 18 months playing a couple of festivals and the encores in a few shows until they became the full time support for all live shows from March 2014.
The Kami Band of the East are the very best session musicians to be found in Japan. There have been many members of the Kami Band but the main hard core of about 6 musicians played the vast majority of concerts until their last appearance (to date) in January 2023.
In 2019 the Kami Band of the West (American musicians) were introduced to support BABYMETAL on their increasingly lengthy foreign tours. They have been ever present for all shows since April 2023.
The Kami Band do not record the studio versions and do not write any of the music (there is one known exception with guitarist Leda Cygnus who wrote the guitar arrangements for one song and recorded bass and guitar for a few more).
Their audience - anybody and everybody, you will see them all at their concerts - all ages from 6 to 80, all musical tastes, all nationalities, all backgrounds ... and all having the best time of their lives.
I know you already have a lot of great suggestions for more songs, but I will add to those suggestions if you want to try them -
'Megitsune' live at PIA Arena April 2023,
'Monochrome' also live at PIA Arena April 2023,
'BABYMETAL Death' live at Legend 1997 (Su-metal's 16th birthday concert in Dec 2013 ... 'Headbanger' was two songs before, this was the finale - how did you celebrate your 16th birthday?),
'Rondo of Nightmare' (with Mischiefs of the Metal Gods instrumental intro) live at Budokan Black Night 2014 - this one is a Su-metal solo, Yui and Moa were taking a break back stage.
If your gonna pick Monochrome Pia 2023 at least have the respect and choose the original trio live for Megitsune, Budakon Black Night 2014. Yui IS the Goat!
@@stangcobra592 In an ideal world I'd have recommended Red Mass or Red Fox Festival or SSA from Jan 2015, but even if they are on RUclips none of them would get through.
Budokan Red Night was better than Black Night, but again not available in every country and would be blocked.
PIA Arena is much better for the crowd and the interaction with the crowd than Budokan, so that is the version of the song I recommended.
@@stangcobra592 MOVE ONNNN
I can say that I contributed quite a bit to his research into BM, of course mostly learned from you though (Was hoping to save you from writing a whole lot lol). And also had warned him not to do Gimmie Chocolate as a first reaction, especially considering his hesitation to them before this.
@@permasmodding Good Job🦊and thanks ... but I can't help myself with writing loads if someone seems interested.🤓😁
I've been a Babymetal fan for quite some time. Their journey from the start to now has been pretty impressive. I think the next Babymetal song you should listen to is Monochrome(PIA arena version is best). This is a newer song and will give you an idea of what Babymetal has become. It's also the first concert (i believe) after Momo became an official member of the group.
So many tracks to choose from! I like that people are all recommending different songs. It's a very good sign 😀
I highly recommend listening to IN THE NAME OF, its their intro track on METAL GALAXY (BM's first album after Yui's departure). I also recommend MAYA, the main riff is awesome!
Lovely jubbly. Thank you 👍🙏🤟
Be careful not to watch too much Babymetal
Because all of a sudden you're trapped in the foxhole and there is no way out....just wait and see 😃
bow down for the Queen
Now I'm scared! 😨
theres so much lore man their an entire thing yunno
Oh, you're hooked. I felt the same way you did in Feb 2020. Um, welcome to the BabyMetal family ;-) I have all their DVDs and wait until you find SG and the road is long and very enjoyable. One ends up falling in love with them. Can't help it. The Fox God is in control 🙂
The Fox God?!? Love it 🤣
Their first album was released shortly after this show. I think their impact on music transcends their popularity. They are not "popular" because they don't get a lot of airplay; their music is far outside normal. But in Japan when concert tickets go on sale, they use a lottery as the demand far exceeds the availability. They could make a living touring Japan and Asia selling out arenas, instead they spend most of their time doing world tours at smaller venues. Hard to pin them down. One thing on their origin, the idea of Babymetal came to Koba after he saw Su perform in a j-pop group. He thought at a young age she had a powerful voice and unique stage presence that was limited by pop, and in metal she would not have limits. And he wanted to shake up the metal scene a little, and so Babymetal was born.
I doubt Koba was predicting this level of popularity! Good on him, though.
i love baby metal
This was absolutely a joy to watch, thank you for the fantastic reaction.
Headbanger was played twice at this concert, this version is the ~11th or 12th song in the setlist, it was also played as the 1st song in the setlist with an operatic opening and a mix/house style. The entire concert (Legend 1997) start to finish is one of the most epic concerts I have ever seen, telling the story in old-school rock opera format of Su-Metal taking the path to become a heavy metal goddess. Every bit of it is a blast. It also features the song that first launched them to global viral awareness (gimme chocolate from this set), and a performance that will never be repeated by any band ever when they perform their song "death". I hope you keep checking them out live - it's always great - and if you do at some point check out this whole concert.
Thank you! I definitely had fun making it so it's cool when viewers enjoy it too 😊
Great reaction, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL.
Appreciate you did a little research because it's important to contextualize them to better understand what they do and why they do this way.
About the fan base demographics, you are totally right. They break all the barriers: gender, age, language, culture, race, religion, country... this is one of the great things about them.
Personally, I'm a lifelong metalhead, old-school, raised in the 80's. I discovered them like five years ago when I almost had lost all my interest in music after having being listening to the same bands over and over again for years. To me, they represent a breathe of fresh air for the genre.
About the song itself, "Headbanger" or more properly "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" or "ヘドバンギャー! !" (Hedobangyā!!) is about a girl who attends to her first metal concert on the night of her 15th birthday and that causes a great impact on her. That is the age of the end of the compulsory school in Japan so young people have to make some relevant decisions at that point. So, this is actually about coming on age and leaving the childhood behind with a hint of nostalgia.
Not a biographical theme because this is a pretty early song and Su-metal performed it for the first time when she was only 14.
This performance is impressive and not only because of the ladies and the Kami Band skills and precision (it's actually their thing) but also because of the crowd interaction. They are black belt in crowd control and that makes their live performances really amazing.
Let me suggest something newer (so, you can check how they look and sound now) and also something older, from 10 years ago and probably the most important moment in their career, being their first festival in the UK (common stage, during the daylight so, no crazy stage setup, no light show, no pyro, no smoke cannons, just the ladies and the band):
"Mirror Mirror" (Live at PIA Arena 2023): ruclips.net/video/DrNfDkP_Buk/видео.html
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html
Until next time!
🤘🦊
Thank you 🙏
For the love of Fox God, it looks like after 1 song you've dived head first and anckles deep into the foxhole. Welcome and hope you'll enjoy their many other performances. I'd recommend "Road of Resistance" live in Japan and I promise you'll wish you could have been part of the crowd that night. Kitsune up 🤟🦊🤟
Hahaha! There's a LOT of recommendations and not only that, the variety of recs is surprising. It's a good sign.
That's Bohte Daisuke, the bass player. Do react to Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of Gods next. It'll blow your brain away
So many different recommendations! That's always a good sign, in my book 😁
I suggest BabyMetal's Mirror Mirror - one of their more recent songs.
The fan base is literally 8 to 80. Metalheads to Jpop fans and everything in-between!
I've just replied to a viewer who has a 3 year old child that loves BM. You need to update your range 😘
@@melvinthinks 🤘😁🤘
Check out BABYMETAL | Rondo of Nightmare with (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) if you like the band. 😉
One day, for sure 😁
@@melvinthinks Well to avoid misunderstandings,... I love the girls, but in this case, by "band" I'm talking abut the Kami Band, who are more than just great musicians.
I was like you for a long time, not sure if I would enjoy Babymetal, so I just pretty much ignored it. Now I've listened to them for a few months and I'm enjoying it so much! I can definitely see that they're not for everyone, but I absolutely love it!
Well, I've got a Foxhole to go down so let's see 😄
Great reaction!! I recommend reacting to Monochrome (Live) as one of their new songs or Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) as one of their essential "old" tracks next!! :))
Thank you 🙏😊 This song has definitely had quite a few recommendations so am certain it will happen at some point 🤟
Regarding your doubts about the main babymetal fanbase, it is honestly very varied, of all tastes and ages, you can see it just by watching the audiences at their concerts.
In my case I listened to metalcore and post hardcore before discovering babymetal and now I also listen to a lot of jpop and kpop.
I think it's cool not to be pigeonholed, and you should expose yourself to a variety of music. Whether you listen to it in your leisure or not, doesn't matter. I remember doing a fair bit of Dreamcatcher when I started doing reactions on this channel, who took me surprise.
@@melvinthinks それならば、『Babymetal - Tales of the Destinies (Tokyo Dome Live 2016)』を是非。 Dream Theaterがオマージュされた曲であり、ステージではこの一度きりしか披露されていない曲です。
個人的には、BMの最高のステージの一つだと思っています。
@@sigemoge "Dreamcatcher" is a different beast... you meant "Dream Theater" 😉 Nonetheless, great suggestion!
Okay, so my now 3 year old (literally just turned 3 today) love Monochrome. She loves Baby Metal, but Monochrome is her favorite. She sings to it and dances to it by copying their moves. The 2023 PIA live version is so far her favorite version.
ruclips.net/video/xAZeBm0o7Jo/видео.htmlsi=263_w7yhjkZuhUU1
You've educated your child very well already 😬
Oi Mate u GOT TO check out Babymetal Road Of Resistance - Live In Japan! If that doesn't blow you away, then Babymetal just isn't your 'coppa tea. We hope you will be more than impressed!
Cheers! 👉🦊👈
I'm sure I will listen to this track at some point. I've got a LOT to choose from 😀
@@melvinthinks I understand, but don't take too long getting to It. Road Of Resistance used to be the main song at the closing of their concerts, & for Good Reason! It's Bloody F'ing Epic!
Cheers!
Welcome to the world of Kawaii(cute) metal. The genre that Babymetal invented. Cute girls doing cute singing and cute dancing while being badass at the same time along with metal played behind them.
Can you do Metali! next? Make sure you do the LIVE official version. Not the music video. The live is so much better.
Definitely make sure you do the right live versions to react too. Us subscribers wont steer you wrong man
Cheers! I always prefer live videos vs OMV's. So whatever I decide next, I'll definitely be revisiting this comment thread for guidance 👍
I can almost promise that if you give them more than a cursory glance, and you look beyond the spectacle of the live performance, you'll certainly see the quality music and musicality that lies beyond.
Yeah definitely - the Kami band are GREAT! Which I touched upon a few times in the video.
Ha, nice! The performance I was introduced to BABYMETAL with! That was back in 2016😄 You already balance on the rim of the Fox hole after some seconds in the performance, that´s great! I needed 1.5 minutes to jump right in it, head first🤣 "Fanatic" might not be the right term to use on the Japanese crowd, "obsessed" matches better IMHO. And hell, they go NUTS like nobody else (you should watch Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Makuhari Messe 2023 in private, to see, what I mean!), but in such a freakin´ respectful way... they know exactly when to chime in without interrupting Su-Metal. And they love the girls/ladies with all of their heart, giving them the energy they need to endure the strenous set/choreography. Just like the girls/ladies love their crowds and give them all the energy they possibly can give (which is a lot!). Something VERY special! Like the style of music BABYMETAL do, which I absolutely love!
Ganimal83, jakemuller8626, Grington300, IAMisLove, road-runner and, for sure, some other people, made very good suggestions, so my suggestion: look their comments up, you have lots of stuff to choose from. And that´s just a small selection! 😉
One of my personal favourites mentioned in those comments: Road of Resistance (Live in Japan 2015, or PIA Arena Yokohama 2023. Both are EPIC!).
Forgot one point: Yuimetal is stage left in the video, Moametal is stage right.
Never forget Yuimetal, the time she was with us was GREAT!
Thanks! I've got a lot of comments to read through, that's for sure! lol
Welcome to the Foxhole!! (Babymetal version of the rabbit hole)
You got most of the information right. Only thing I'd say is, the Kami Band only exist to play on live shows. They don't participate in recording session. And there's two Kami Bands. The East Kami Band (the one in this video), and The West Kami Band (in more recent performances).
Each Babymetal songs are different than the other. They got something for everyone. Next, I would suggest:
Babymetal - "Metali" Live at Legend MM 2024.
Enjoy!! 🦊🦊🦊
Thanks!
👍👍One of their Epic performances. Welcome to the fox hole. Great reaction. 🦊 🖖❤

If you want to check out how the European audience reacts to BM, then please feel free to check out their first concert outside Japan: Ijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere 2014 🙂
That is a good video. Generally I prefer the huge Japanese concerts as Japanese fans really gets it. But this one is kind of nice. This is their breakthrough. They were scared to death over this performance, did not know what would happen. And it started bad, the audience was not responsive. But after a while the audience got it and loved it. Not as organized and wild as the Japanese but wild in another way and Babymetal could relax and feel that it was a success.
Thank you for this nice reaction. BABYMETAL is beyond music...To try it is to adopt it !🦊✨
Thank you 🙏
Another fun part about Babymetal, is they are basicly "directing" the crowd with their dances, so there is an insane amount of crowd interaction, and thats why you see such a large part of the crowd participating - they are amazing live.
Looks like everyone is having a blast!
From experience, I’ve realized that BabyMetal’s fanbase is all over the place. When I went to go watch them in Los Angeles, I saw your typical “metal fan” long hair, leather jacket. But I saw young ladies all dressed up just like BabyMetal. Middle-aged fans. White. Asian. Latino. Black. There were folks that you’d assume you’d see at a comic book convention more so than at a metal concert. I dare to say the age group I saw was from teens all the way to 50-years old+.
That's the general impression I get - their fanbase is very diverse.
