Great reaction! Thanks! The tittle "Megitsune" = "me"+"kitsune" = female+fox = vixen. It was released on 2013, Su was 15 and Yui and Moa 13 to 14. And yes, they had to go to school like everyone. They are performing professionally since very young age. The lyrics are some sort of criticism against the role of women in the Japanese culture. If you pay attention, when the music stops and Su says "Otome wa... nametara ikan zeyo" (which means "Maidens... shouldn't be underestimated") she pulls a "tanto" (short blade) out of her mic handle... which is so badass! May I suggest you for your next one: Akatsuki (Live at Budokan Black Night): ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html Enjoy!

⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩ "Meh-gih-tsue-neh" The "ts" is like the last part of the word "hats". Generally in Japanese every syllable is pronounced. Su was 15 when this music video came out, Yui and Moa were just a bit shy of 14. Megitsune is kind of the quintessential BABYMETAL track. They've performed it more than any other song in their catalog, and it often tops fan polls. BTW, When Su-metal pulls out the tanto (short blade) she says: "Otome wa… nametara ikan zeyo." ("Maidens… should not be underestimated.") That's also the line the gangster's daughter says in a popular old Japanese film.
Still one of my fave BM songs. I love the traditional instruments incorporated with metal, the meaning behind the lyrics and the sheer epicness of it all.
Babymetal was created because of Suzuka's voice, that was recognized by producer Kobametal. All three girls have been performing since they were 6 yo and famous in Japan as members of Sakura Gakuin a TV show with Jr high girls performing skits with singing and dancing. There are videos of Suzuka singing on stage at 5 yo. In other words dancing and singing is them and they are damn good at it since forever.
Great reaction. As well as singing, dancing and performing with their original Idol group Sakura Gakuin and touring with BABYMETAL yes they all had their ordinary schools and schoolwork to do and had tutoring when on tour. They were often seen doing homework between rehearsals. At least one of the parents (I think Yui's mother, it could have been Moa's) said that if their school grades started to fall they would be taken out of SG and BABYMETAL .... so they were very hard working and very diligent students too. You were right this was one of their early songs (and still my favourite) and they were full of energy ... but they are no less full of energy every time they perform even though they're seven years older now. Yui and Moa both sing well, they just don't have the power Su has in her voice. As others have said, try one of their songs as Black BABYMETAL - and I'd recommend 'Onedari Daisakusen' for you.
If you want to hear Yui and Moa sing, there are a number of solos and duets within the canon. They both have good voices, just not World Standard like Suzuka. They did duets to give Su a rest, just as Su did solos to give them a rest from an intensive 90 minute set. As a duet Yui and Moa were known as Black Baby Metal. Try them out on ‘Sis Anger’. Also try out The Kami Band on ‘Mischiefs of God’ Intro to ‘Rondo of Nightmare’. Yui left Babymetal 2 years ago for health reasons; all fans want to see her perform again.
Moa's voice is not as strong as Su, but she has a beautiful voice when singing Headbanger (Hatachi no Yoru O). Hope she has more spotlights in the future.
This is off the first album. Live is always best, but there are no 'bad' BabyMetal songs. They all attended a performing arts type of school. They are living the dream. No idea what Yui is up to these days tho, but she is missed.
It is funny that you mention school because BabyMetal began as a subunit of Sakura Gakuin, a school-themed idol group for girls in grades 5-9. When the older girls graduate from junior high school, they also must leave Sakura Gakuin. Su-Metal departed in 2013 and Yui-Metal and Moa-Metal left in 2015. The oldest girls are basically the lead singers of the group, which means that Yui and Moa were amongst the lead singers in their final year with Sakura Gakuin. There are plenty of videos out there if you want to check them out. Just imagine the more poppy BabyMetal songs but being performed by 10-12 adorable young girls. Some of their songs are quite heavy; and Sakura Gakuin has become something of a guilty pleasure for many metalheads. There is nothing sick or perverse about this, simply a bit of fun like BabyMetal. Sakura Gakuin is still going strong today; and two of the Avengers who are supporting Su and Moa on their latest tour are former members as well.
Just imagine how hard in acting it was to make this Video @ They did in a Temple and the Monks agreed under the thing they have to be quiet as possible = making this Clip with a volume of a bath-Radio! ;)
It's great you react to so much of the stuff they did when they were little kids (I think this was from about 7 years ago) but I'd definitely have to recommend trying some of their later stuff too. They grew up to be a really hard hitting Kawaii Metal band and their many live performances (in front of 20,000, 55,000 or even 65,000 depending on the concert) are spectacular. Also, their live performances have real musicians too who are all at the top of their game. Good reaction, though.
this song is still loved by their fans. i heard this song back in late 2013 and been a fan ever since. the live versions of this is so cool. there are many good ones, some not on youtube. this video is also before the real kami band was part of them. the band in this video is fake. i think this was done 2011 or 2012. someone will correct me. Black Babymetal is when Yui and Moa are doing their songs. they did 4 songs. all are good. and even them have good crowd control.
So good watching people discover BABYMETAL, I stumbled across them about 6 months ago. Now I listen to them in the car on my way to work. Didn't think they would grip me like that... It'll happen. I was actually surprised to find it sounds even better when you're not distracted by the video. But the videos are epic, that's for my time at home. :) Keep up the good work fellas.
If you want more examples of the younger two, check out Sis Anger. Or Moa recently sung the last half of Headbanger for her 20th birthday. (Just do a search for Moa Headbanger.)
Though fan shot, there are also examples of Moa and Yui singing the last half of Headbanger on their 15th birthdays. Yui's was the most surprising between the 15th birthday versions as no one has heard her sing as good as she did that night, and her scream at the end was more primal than Moa's.
If you wanna know how the other 2 girls do in terms of singing, you should react to a Black BABYMETAL song ! Black BABYMETAL is the name of the formation when there's only Yui and Moa, the two backup singers. Those songs are (listed from my favourite to my least favorite): -Onedari Daisakusen (heavily rap-metal influenced, there's even a Limp Bizkit sample in it) -Sis. Anger (Probably the most brutal BM song, it's almost on the Brutal Death Metal territory) -Song 4 (Also called Yon no uta, it's pretty much Metal and Raggae) -GJ! (Another kinda rap-metal track)
Always goes down well and performed every show ( apart from 2 night Tokyo dome shows ) and over last year if anything they enjoying performing even more by the fun they have on stage.
Great reaction..love it..if you one something new with baby metal you can give us another reaction.please react oniedari daisuken live ( yui n Moa sing/rap) or Akatsuki live(su solo)..thats sound be interesting.. :)
When they do this song live Su throws the mask into the crowd. One show (toronto?) She hit Moa in the head with the mask. I think it weighs almost nothing but it's funny because there is a shot of Su and one of the Kamis behind her looking horrified. Moa didn't even react and waited for the right time in the choreography to push the mask off the stage. Also when Su is behind the mask right before she throws it she makes funny faces at Moa and tries to make her laugh. Apparently that is a Japanese thing a 'funny face contest'. The other members do it at various times in live performances too. It's really impressive to see them do a full show. They dance like that nonstop and never make a mistake. Once you've been through their first album you need to see one of their early shows like Metrock 2015. The crowd at Metrock is insane. Yeah Su can sing. There are tons of videos on RUclips of her singing before Babymetal all the way back to the age of 8. Here is a video of a bunch of short clips of her singing over the years. Babymetal was formed in late 2010. The first 6 minutes are all before Babymetal. This is far from complete and the maker the of the video said a lot of stuff got blocked or there would have been a lot more in there. Suzuka Nakamoto - Voice Evolution (2006 - 2019) ruclips.net/video/9cw27bQ9zv4/видео.html
To remember pronunciations always break it into 2 letters. A is ah, E is Eh, I is e, O is Oh, U is uh (ewe) then the constant. So ka= Kah, Ki= key there are 4 exceptions to the normal hirigana and katakana "alphabet" theey are shi=she chi= the beginning of cheese, tsu like sue with a t like tic sound first. Then N which hard to explain writing but kind of like mmm (that's good) but with an N sound. There is a "secondary alphebet" which includes thing like sho which sound like show and kyu which sounds like queue. Japanese is mora timed so every sound occupies the same amount of time. The n sound is in timing as long as shi. There really isnt no stressed syllables. We could go into vowel negation for further pronunciation and pitch accent but that takes time.
I love your reactions of babymetal :) And I can't wait for your reaction to "Road of Resistence" from them :D In addition, if you want to see really japanese craizyness, check out "maximum the hormone" :) PD: Maximum the hormone did the second "death note" opening, but better check out "talk about menkata cottelee" ;) Subscribed ;)
Also, during the breakdown that you like so much, the melody is taken from an old traditional Japanese song called Sakura Sakura. Have a listen: ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html
Su-Metal pronounces megitsune in the song. The syllables are me-gi-tsu-ne. The e is pronounced sort of like the e in step, the i is like the ee in meet but shorter and the u is like the sound in who. But they are consistent. As Roadrunner noted It is kitsune (fox) with me- added in front to indicate female fox. And that tsu is like the tsu in tsunami, a Japanese loanword in English. And the k->g change is a Japanese phonological phenomena called rendaku. Which is too complicated to get into in a RUclips comment.
Lifelong rock/metalhead here. I've watched all of your Babymetal reactions, the Jinjer, "Pisces" reaction and several Tool reactions. I've got some recommendations for you both. 1. Band-Maid, "Thrill" - an all-girl Japanese hard rock band who all dress up like French maids, hence Band-Maid. "Thrill" is great starter song for them, the riff is INFECTIOUS, their musicianship is on point, lead singer has hella stage presence. Youngish but can PLAY, want your reactions to the band overall and how they compare/contrast to Babymetal. 2. Unleash The Archers, "Awakening" - a Canadian metal band, they can shred. This song will blow you away with the technical musicanship; the guitarists, bass, drummer meld perfectly. The lead singer Brittney Slayes is female and has an INCREDIBLE clean voice. Nice foil to the jazzy, melodic clean vocals from Tatiana in the Jinjer, "Pisces" video; want your reactions on the band and the lead singer. 3. Kobra and the Lotus, "TriggerPulse" - another Canadian hard rock band, nice chuggy riffs, really good for workouts. Also recommended this based on your reaction to Tatiana in the Jinjer, "Pisces" reaction; Kobra has a beautiful, strong unique voice which a little lower, sounds like it's in the alto/contra-alto range like Tatiana's. Want your opinion on her vocal control and range compared to Tatiana's. 4. Tool, "Schism" - It's Tool. And this is one of their most recognizable and famous songs. Everything is awesome, but that riff tho. Enough said. Thanks for reading!
Good reaction, gentlemen. You guys keep delivering the goods. Yuimetal and Moametal can sing. I don't feel that they sing as well as Su-metal but they can sing. Commenters below are songs they've sung as a subunit called Black Babymetal. Also you can search out when Yuimetal and Moametal had turns singing Headbanger. The song is pronounced meh-git-soo-nay..."git" as in "git outta here!" No biggie as far as I'm concerned. I have to keep learning everyday. Megitsune is one of the songs they perform at pretty much every concert. Personally I call them The Big Four (Megitsune, Gimme Chocolate, Karate, and Road of Resistance). It's typically one of the earlier songs in a concert, sometimes even the opening one. The band is awfully tight and skilled. You make Mondays something to look forward to when I come home from work.
That breakdown at 5:33 is NASTY. The melody is from an ancient folk song usually played on Shamisen. Plus those screaming vox that match the melody before Su starts singing are fuckin FIRE.
I don't think this track will ever be omitted from my in-car playlists. It is a reminder that I need to move about. (I have back pain problems.) There is so much energy here that even if I don't move to it instinctively, I still think; oh yeah - I need to change my posture too. Although I do sometimes get to my destination completely exhausted and hoarse from singing along. 🤐😝😁🤘
Great reaction as always. I was surprised that you both still couldn't pronounce 'megitsune' even after you watched the video. They must have sung that word a hundred times, very clearly. Yui and Moa have been a professional duo since 2009, when they were both 9 yo, and joined the group Sakura Gakuin, part of a pseudo-performing arts school run by the Amuse talent agency, for girls aged 10 to 15. Babymetal began in 2010, as subgroup of Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal spun off into their own thing in 2012, when Su turned 15, and thus "graduated" (aka 'aged out of') Sakura Gakuin). "Megitsune" was from Babymetal's first album. Yui and Moa split their time between SG and Babymetal until they graduated SG in 2014, and then were in Babymetal full time. As many others have mentioned, Babymetal's energetic live performances were structured such that the girls were able to get breaks by having Su occasionally do solos, giving Yui and Moa a break, and by having Yui and Moa perform together as "Black Babymetal" (while Su got a break). Yui and Moa were good singers in their own right, but Su was the powerhouse. (Trivia: Yui and Moa wrote the Babymetal song "Yon no Uta").

You know what sets babymetal apart from other metal bands? It's the exuberance that's so joyful. You listen to their songs and the vibes are just so positive. And yea i love the girl on Su's left. She's Moa. Very adorable then, very beautiful now with the kinda smile that cures depression:)
4:40 you are actually correct here. The girls said it in one of their 10th year interviews - that when they were younger, they didn't know how to pace themselves, they always pour it all, thus the overflowing energy and vibe - and they end up super exhausted after shows. They were too young to realize.
Proper pronunciation: "Meh", as in 🤷♂️meh. "Gi" as in guitar. "Tsu" as in tsunami. "Neh" as in Nelly. Now all together, Me-gi-tsu-neh. The Japanese alphabet is based on syllables rather than individual letters, with 3 distinct alphabets, one used for Japanese words called hiragana, and one used for pronouncing non- Japanese words called katakana, and kanji which is Chinese characters. め or メ= meh. ぎ or ギ= gi. つ or ツ= tsu. ね or ネ= neh. Megitsune is a female fox or Vixen. Kitsune is a Male fox. Japanese lesson one. 😉😁
The sad part is one of the younger girls had to be replaced because she got hurt doing a show (I think she fell off the stage.) They started changing the image slightly after that. It was sorta "older sister, younger siblings" in the beginning. Now it's more 3 warrior women.
You're referring to the Budokan's Red night concert when Yui-chan fell off the walkway. She came back up for the next song and the following night (Budokan' Black Night) and did perform for about a year after that. She did leave, allegedly, for health reason, but no one knows the exact reason.
@@JGM0JGM Yeah, it's a shame. I kinda grew attached to the 3 of them together. That dark anime fairytale sorta Alice-in-Wonderland like imagery was cool to me. Their new image is kinda growing on me, though.
they were babys in that song, but there women in this one headbanger, sumetal is 22yrs & mometal is 20yrs. now react to this one.vimeo.com/365503288 have fun boy's hope you play it on monday 20th april, i will be watching.
That was my reaction to this song too. Me when song starts: another jpop or anime theme song. Nice. Also me halfway through the song: where is this metal coming from?!
Interesting point about whether the girls were pushed into doing this as minors. I know their is a version of this song with commentary by the girls. From what they say and the pure joy in their voices, I'd say they genuinely enjoyed the whole thing.
One of the three girls, Yui Mizuno A.K.A. Yuimetal, took time off from the band due to health concerns. She later decided not to return to Babymetal. 😢 On their most recent tour they used one of several back up dancers to take the place of Yuimetal. I am not sure if they plan to permanently replace her or just focus on the two remaining girls and have back up dancers continue to work with them and fill in for Yui. Awesome band though and Great reaction. 😁
You say you know what "Gimme Chocolate" is about. I bet you don't. I mean, unless you read the translations or someone filled you in, it's NOT about asking for chocolate. Well, it IS about asking for chocolate, but it's not. It's about the internal struggle that we all feel when it comes to things like chocolate. 'I want the chocolate, but I really shouldn't eat it because...' That struggle is heightened for young ladies on the stage, in the public eye, and under contract. C! I! O! (chekera) chokoreeto chokoreeto cho cho cho iiyone? Demone chotto WEIGHT chotto saikin shinpai nandesu. "Check-It-Out! Chocolate! I can have a bit of chocolate, can't I? But my weight worries me a bit these days." If you want to hear Yui & Moa singing, I mean really want to hear them... They did solo covers - one time only. Yui sang "Chokotto Love" - [ ruclips.net/video/wAR_vQyKOoE/видео.html ] Moa sang "Love Machine" - [ ruclips.net/video/SPovj_t3Nhw/видео.html ] The originals are just... Well, here you go. Petitmoni: "Chokotto Love" - [ ruclips.net/video/9sCj8Qvbr4g/видео.html ] Morning Musume: "Love Machine" - [ ruclips.net/video/6A7j6eryPV4/видео.html ] There is also a tradition of handing the microphone to either Yui or Moa for the second half of "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!". It happened on their respective 15th birthdays in 2014, and Moa also performed the second half at Legend M 2019, her 20th birthday. Yui, obviously, could not. Someone else can link you to those, I don't have links to decent recordings. Many other people will fill you in on Kitsune, Megitsune, foxes, microphone swords, and Black Babymetal (no caps needed). Just stick with it, the Fox Hole runs deep and it is dark. But we've been here for a while and we know the way around. There is no way out, though. We're here to help. Just don't get hung up on things like shoelaces, bicycles, mint-flavored time machines, the frog's pit, tomatoes, cheeseburgers, trying to figure out who Tina is, trying to figure out who Frank is, OTFGK, #WhereIsYui, Musclemetal, and why Yuimetal is badder than Kanye West (Kanye's a little bitch BTW). All will be revealed if you continue the journey. Oh yeah, love your work! Thanks!
One very important thing, that no one seems to have mentioned yet: Foxes (Kitsune) are a very important part of Japanese folklore. It's said that foxes, being mischievous, if somehat evil creatures, could lure you out of the road, at night, into your perdition. Or that they'd make you get lost, walking in circles, just for the fun of it. Foxes were also known as seductive beings, who would attract men, to get whatever they wanted, even getting as far as turning into women and bewitching any man they liked into eternal slavery. The poor fella would fall in love, only to die form starvation and exhaustion after fulfilling even the smallest of the foxes' whims. Nowadays, to call a a woman kitsune means that she's beautiful, alluring, secretive and mischievous. By saying they're not kitsunes, in the chorus (kitsune janai), but instead vixens (megitsune), they're saying that they're not evil, yet they still have foxes' traits and you better not mess with them. And yeah, they're *literally* dancing the lyrics. That kind of dance they do is known as "para-para". Normally it accompanies very happy and light-hearted pop songs, and every gesture/pose/stance has a word or ideia equivalent. In this video they've thrown in some traditional dancing moves (when they go sideways sayin "sore sore sore"), too. (Also the "gi" in Megitsune is pronounced as "gui" in "guitar")
This video does a pretty good job answering all your questions about their schooling and how they got to where they're at. It's rather long but there's a lot of wow factors in it. Maybe just chop it up with main points for your react vid? ruclips.net/video/E9xRiOBG82w/видео.html
React to Babymetal Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischief of the Godz Intro) Live Badokan Black Night 2014! ..... its the birth of the Goddess Su-Metal! You will be blown away by the band. im a 40 year old death metal fan and they are the best thing to happen to the staleness metal had for years.
School was a priority. Back while the girls were in school the band toured less, as schooling did limit some of their availability. I recall a story when one of the girls (it was not stated which one, but must have been Moa or Yui) nearly missed the opening night when Babymetal was supporting the Red Hot Chili Peppers because they had to finish a important test before flying to England. Moa and Yui have nice voices with Moa's probably being less "pitchy" then Yui's. But, though Moa has a good voice there is good reason that Su is the lead singer.
prepare to fall over dead from the absolute cuteness and talent from Yui and Moa on "Onedari Daisakusen" Holy cow I can't stop smiling watching them performing that. 🤘🦊🤘
6:57Everyone translates "Should not be underestimated" But It's a literal translation.This is more dirty and brutal way of saying in Japanese.It's a line that overpowers an opponent. SU is saying "Don't give a fuck" from Japan
The older songs, especially of the first releases and the first LP was very heavily Japanese cultural influences. This song is a great example, the main rhythm is Sakura Sakura (Cherry Blossom): ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html Those influences were much less on the second CD and non-existant on the third.
Kitsune or migetsune - this devoted she-fox guardian is a faithful friend to thoes she loves. But to the evil and greedy, she's a malicious trickster. Characteristics- the kitsune appears as a beautiful fox dressed in women's clothing or as a woman or a girl with fox ears and a tail.

Great reaction! Thanks!
The tittle "Megitsune" = "me"+"kitsune" = female+fox = vixen. It was released on 2013, Su was 15 and Yui and Moa 13 to 14. And yes, they had to go to school like everyone. They are performing professionally since very young age. The lyrics are some sort of criticism against the role of women in the Japanese culture. If you pay attention, when the music stops and Su says "Otome wa... nametara ikan zeyo" (which means "Maidens... shouldn't be underestimated") she pulls a "tanto" (short blade) out of her mic handle... which is so badass!
May I suggest you for your next one: Akatsuki (Live at Budokan Black Night): ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html
Enjoy!
Yes, but the school that Su went to was the Acting School of Hiroshima which was run by her talent agency Amuse :)
@@Jordan-Ramses Amuse does not run Acting School Hiroshima, it's run by the local (I assume Hiroshima prefecture) broadcasting company. The 2 companies do have a business relationship.
@@autohmae - Ahh thanks, someone said that it was.
@@Jordan-Ramses sometimes details get lost like a game of 'telephone' :-)
the "Me" in megitsune is short hand for megami or goddess, referring back to the fox god.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩
"Meh-gih-tsue-neh" The "ts" is like the last part of the word "hats".
Generally in Japanese every syllable is pronounced.
Su was 15 when this music video came out, Yui and Moa were just a bit shy of 14.
Megitsune is kind of the quintessential BABYMETAL track.
They've performed it more than any other song in their catalog, and it often tops fan polls.
BTW, When Su-metal pulls out the tanto (short blade) she says:
"Otome wa… nametara ikan zeyo." ("Maidens… should not be underestimated.")
That's also the line the gangster's daughter says in a popular old Japanese film.
Beat me to it Rick!
Let's see if they even notice the blade...so many don't.
They pronounce "Megitune" in the song. Listen again.
@@jay_g1984 "Kitsune, kitsune, watashi wa megitsune."
@@charleslatora5750 Better yet who noticed that Su was using the Mike-Knife later in the video?
Still one of my fave BM songs. I love the traditional instruments incorporated with metal, the meaning behind the lyrics and the sheer epicness of it all.
Babymetal was created because of Suzuka's voice, that was recognized by producer Kobametal. All three girls have been performing since they were 6 yo and famous in Japan as members of Sakura Gakuin a TV show with Jr high girls performing skits with singing and dancing. There are videos of Suzuka singing on stage at 5 yo. In other words dancing and singing is them and they are damn good at it since forever.
Great reaction. As well as singing, dancing and performing with their original Idol group Sakura Gakuin and touring with BABYMETAL yes they all had their ordinary schools and schoolwork to do and had tutoring when on tour. They were often seen doing homework between rehearsals. At least one of the parents (I think Yui's mother, it could have been Moa's) said that if their school grades started to fall they would be taken out of SG and BABYMETAL .... so they were very hard working and very diligent students too.
You were right this was one of their early songs (and still my favourite) and they were full of energy ... but they are no less full of energy every time they perform even though they're seven years older now.
Yui and Moa both sing well, they just don't have the power Su has in her voice. As others have said, try one of their songs as Black BABYMETAL - and I'd recommend 'Onedari Daisakusen' for you.
It was Moa's mom who said that.
@@MrFloppyHare Thanks, I should have remembered - she is supposed to be scary after all ;-)
@@Grington300 Yes, she's quite strict, according to Moa's stories. I saw her at the Utrecht shows in 2018. She did have quite a stern expression. :-)
If you want to hear Yui and Moa sing, there are a number of solos and duets within the canon. They both have good voices, just not World Standard like Suzuka. They did duets to give Su a rest, just as Su did solos to give them a rest from an intensive 90 minute set. As a duet Yui and Moa were known as Black Baby Metal. Try them out on ‘Sis Anger’. Also try out The Kami Band on ‘Mischiefs of God’ Intro to ‘Rondo of Nightmare’. Yui left Babymetal 2 years ago for health reasons; all fans want to see her perform again.
Moa and Su are still in Babymetal. Moa (and Yui) will be 21 in July, and Su will be 23 in December.
Moa's voice is not as strong as Su, but she has a beautiful voice when singing Headbanger (Hatachi no Yoru O). Hope she has more spotlights in the future.
This is off the first album. Live is always best, but there are no 'bad' BabyMetal songs. They all attended a performing arts type of school. They are living the dream. No idea what Yui is up to these days tho, but she is missed.
Very missed!
It is funny that you mention school because BabyMetal began as a subunit of Sakura Gakuin, a school-themed idol group for girls in grades 5-9. When the older girls graduate from junior high school, they also must leave Sakura Gakuin. Su-Metal departed in 2013 and Yui-Metal and Moa-Metal left in 2015. The oldest girls are basically the lead singers of the group, which means that Yui and Moa were amongst the lead singers in their final year with Sakura Gakuin. There are plenty of videos out there if you want to check them out. Just imagine the more poppy BabyMetal songs but being performed by 10-12 adorable young girls. Some of their songs are quite heavy; and Sakura Gakuin has become something of a guilty pleasure for many metalheads. There is nothing sick or perverse about this, simply a bit of fun like BabyMetal. Sakura Gakuin is still going strong today; and two of the Avengers who are supporting Su and Moa on their latest tour are former members as well.
Just imagine how hard in acting it was to make this Video @ They did in a Temple and the Monks agreed under the thing they have to be quiet as possible = making this Clip with a volume of a bath-Radio! ;)
It's great you react to so much of the stuff they did when they were little kids (I think this was from about 7 years ago) but I'd definitely have to recommend trying some of their later stuff too. They grew up to be a really hard hitting Kawaii Metal band and their many live performances (in front of 20,000, 55,000 or even 65,000 depending on the concert) are spectacular. Also, their live performances have real musicians too who are all at the top of their game. Good reaction, though.
Megitsune == vixen, aka female fox.
this song is still loved by their fans. i heard this song back in late 2013 and been a fan ever since. the live versions of this is so cool. there are many good ones, some not on youtube. this video is also before the real kami band was part of them. the band in this video is fake. i think this was done 2011 or 2012. someone will correct me. Black Babymetal is when Yui and Moa are doing their songs. they did 4 songs. all are good. and even them have good crowd control.
This was my first BabyMetal song. The Road was my next. I never came back.
So good watching people discover BABYMETAL, I stumbled across them about 6 months ago. Now I listen to them in the car on my way to work. Didn't think they would grip me like that... It'll happen. I was actually surprised to find it sounds even better when you're not distracted by the video. But the videos are epic, that's for my time at home. :) Keep up the good work fellas.
If you want more examples of the younger two, check out Sis Anger. Or Moa recently sung the last half of Headbanger for her 20th birthday. (Just do a search for Moa Headbanger.)
Though fan shot, there are also examples of Moa and Yui singing the last half of Headbanger on their 15th birthdays. Yui's was the most surprising between the 15th birthday versions as no one has heard her sing as good as she did that night, and her scream at the end was more primal than Moa's.
Next Babymetal - Akatsuki 🤘🏻
Seasoned veterans at this age. This was there break out song one of my favs
Their break out song really was Gimme Chocolate.
@@MrFloppyHare I wonder if it was IDZ in Japan.
If you wanna know how the other 2 girls do in terms of singing, you should react to a Black BABYMETAL song !
Black BABYMETAL is the name of the formation when there's only Yui and Moa, the two backup singers.
Those songs are (listed from my favourite to my least favorite):
-Onedari Daisakusen (heavily rap-metal influenced, there's even a Limp Bizkit sample in it)
-Sis. Anger (Probably the most brutal BM song, it's almost on the Brutal Death Metal territory)
-Song 4 (Also called Yon no uta, it's pretty much Metal and Raggae)
-GJ! (Another kinda rap-metal track)
BTW there's no official Music Video for any of these songs but there's several great live footages from past BluRays that you can find on youtube!
Should have reacted to the live version. Their energy is amazing
You should check out Rondo of Nightmare from Budokan Live... that's by far their most impressive song.
Favorite part of this video: at 6:12 you can see Moa tripping and falling, lol
Thanks. I hadn’t noticed that!
LoL
She mentioned it in the commentary video
Thanks. I had seen the Idz and doki segments but didn’t realize they were parts of a larger video... what a nice surprise.
Yeah dude love your reaction
Love babymetal from PH.
Pls react babymetal white love cover
And original by speed white love
nice reaction! next you should react to RONDO OF NIGHTMARE with mischiefs of god intro
Always goes down well and performed every show ( apart from 2 night Tokyo dome shows ) and over last year if anything they enjoying performing even more by the fun they have on stage.
Moa trying to make Su smile at the end of the breakdown... She succeeded some times according to compilations I've seen 😂
Great reaction..love it..if you one something new with baby metal you can give us another reaction.please react oniedari daisuken live ( yui n Moa sing/rap) or Akatsuki live(su solo)..thats sound be interesting.. :)
When they do this song live Su throws the mask into the crowd. One show (toronto?) She hit Moa in the head with the mask. I think it weighs almost nothing but it's funny because there is a shot of Su and one of the Kamis behind her looking horrified. Moa didn't even react and waited for the right time in the choreography to push the mask off the stage.
Also when Su is behind the mask right before she throws it she makes funny faces at Moa and tries to make her laugh. Apparently that is a Japanese thing a 'funny face contest'. The other members do it at various times in live performances too.
It's really impressive to see them do a full show. They dance like that nonstop and never make a mistake. Once you've been through their first album you need to see one of their early shows like Metrock 2015. The crowd at Metrock is insane.
Yeah Su can sing. There are tons of videos on RUclips of her singing before Babymetal all the way back to the age of 8. Here is a video of a bunch of short clips of her singing over the years. Babymetal was formed in late 2010. The first 6 minutes are all before Babymetal. This is far from complete and the maker the of the video said a lot of stuff got blocked or there would have been a lot more in there.

Try SIS ANGER by blackbabymetal,Moa and Yui singing the song,so you can see if the two can sing.
or Song 4 (Yon) . cutest one ever :3
@@MetalGuitarTimo I'm gonna fight you for that tilte of cutest song ever... Onedari is in a class of its own! Kitsune up, Po!
I got to see them live last year and these chicks give 1000% into every song. Amazing live performance.
To remember pronunciations always break it into 2 letters. A is ah, E is Eh, I is e, O is Oh, U is uh (ewe) then the constant. So ka= Kah, Ki= key there are 4 exceptions to the normal hirigana and katakana "alphabet" theey are shi=she chi= the beginning of cheese, tsu like sue with a t like tic sound first. Then N which hard to explain writing but kind of like mmm (that's good) but with an N sound. There is a "secondary alphebet" which includes thing like sho which sound like show and kyu which sounds like queue.
Japanese is mora timed so every sound occupies the same amount of time. The n sound is in timing as long as shi. There really isnt no stressed syllables. We could go into vowel negation for further pronunciation and pitch accent but that takes time.
Megistune means female/vixen fox. Kitsune means fox.
Love this they have brought new life to the world of metal and I think that's why so many metal bands follow them
Baby Metal is crazy. The new Poppy stuff reminds me of them. Great react fam.
I love your reactions of babymetal :) And I can't wait for your reaction to "Road of Resistence" from them :D
In addition, if you want to see really japanese craizyness, check out "maximum the hormone" :)
PD: Maximum the hormone did the second "death note" opening, but better check out "talk about menkata cottelee" ;)
Subscribed ;)
Also, during the breakdown that you like so much, the melody is taken from an old traditional Japanese song called Sakura Sakura. Have a listen:
ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html
Su-Metal pronounces megitsune in the song. The syllables are me-gi-tsu-ne. The e is pronounced sort of like the e in step, the i is like the ee in meet but shorter and the u is like the sound in who. But they are consistent. As Roadrunner noted It is kitsune (fox) with me- added in front to indicate female fox. And that tsu is like the tsu in tsunami, a Japanese loanword in English. And the k->g change is a Japanese phonological phenomena called rendaku. Which is too complicated to get into in a RUclips comment.
New subscriber here! I saw Babymetal and just couln't resist it. You should totally react to their live version of this song. It is mindblowing!
This sounds like it came from an Initial D soundtrack, or a DDR song. Just so much energy.
guys you need to listen to Doki Doki Morning next, this is their craziest song by far!
You forgot about Iine ( iine )
Side note: Su-Metal is currently 22 years old, Moa-metal and Yui-metal are both 20 right now
You are right about the interpretive dance part. This is called "Kabuki" in the Japanese drama tradition.
the words to the song are amazing. its about keeping a good face when your crying on inside.
Wait,how about Punk Rock Sunday? Or Smashing Pumpkin’s Saturday? I’m starting to think the smashing pumpkins video will never happen 😂
BABYMETAL has a sub-unit called BLACK BABYMETAL. A couple of their songs are GJ & Onedari Daisakusen .
Lifelong rock/metalhead here. I've watched all of your Babymetal reactions, the Jinjer, "Pisces" reaction and several Tool reactions. I've got some recommendations for you both.
1. Band-Maid, "Thrill" - an all-girl Japanese hard rock band who all dress up like French maids, hence Band-Maid. "Thrill" is great starter song for them, the riff is INFECTIOUS, their musicianship is on point, lead singer has hella stage presence. Youngish but can PLAY, want your reactions to the band overall and how they compare/contrast to Babymetal.
2. Unleash The Archers, "Awakening" - a Canadian metal band, they can shred. This song will blow you away with the technical musicanship; the guitarists, bass, drummer meld perfectly. The lead singer Brittney Slayes is female and has an INCREDIBLE clean voice. Nice foil to the jazzy, melodic clean vocals from Tatiana in the Jinjer, "Pisces" video; want your reactions on the band and the lead singer.
3. Kobra and the Lotus, "TriggerPulse" - another Canadian hard rock band, nice chuggy riffs, really good for workouts. Also recommended this based on your reaction to Tatiana in the Jinjer, "Pisces" reaction; Kobra has a beautiful, strong unique voice which a little lower, sounds like it's in the alto/contra-alto range like Tatiana's. Want your opinion on her vocal control and range compared to Tatiana's.
4. Tool, "Schism" - It's Tool. And this is one of their most recognizable and famous songs. Everything is awesome, but that riff tho. Enough said.
Thanks for reading!
Schism always makes me think of the Borg from Star Trek for some reason.
Good reaction, gentlemen. You guys keep delivering the goods.
Yuimetal and Moametal can sing. I don't feel that they sing as well as Su-metal but they can sing. Commenters below are songs they've sung as a subunit called Black Babymetal. Also you can search out when Yuimetal and Moametal had turns singing Headbanger.
The song is pronounced meh-git-soo-nay..."git" as in "git outta here!" No biggie as far as I'm concerned. I have to keep learning everyday.
Megitsune is one of the songs they perform at pretty much every concert. Personally I call them The Big Four (Megitsune, Gimme Chocolate, Karate, and Road of Resistance). It's typically one of the earlier songs in a concert, sometimes even the opening one.
The band is awfully tight and skilled.
You make Mondays something to look forward to when I come home from work.
That breakdown at 5:33 is NASTY. The melody is from an ancient folk song usually played on Shamisen. Plus those screaming vox that match the melody before Su starts singing are fuckin FIRE.
More by BabyMetal!
First time seeing you channel and I love it! Try listening to Band-Maid "Thrill" next. This was my intro song the them and its awsome
You need to look for live versions
I don't think this track will ever be omitted from my in-car playlists.
It is a reminder that I need to move about. (I have back pain problems.)
There is so much energy here that even if I don't move to it instinctively, I still think; oh yeah - I need to change my posture too.
Although I do sometimes get to my destination completely exhausted and hoarse from singing along. 🤐😝😁🤘
Their energy has not changed.. Saw them in September snd it was off the charts.. This is from first album..
Great reaction as always.
I was surprised that you both still couldn't pronounce 'megitsune' even after you watched the video. They must have sung that word a hundred times, very clearly.
Yui and Moa have been a professional duo since 2009, when they were both 9 yo, and joined the group Sakura Gakuin, part of a pseudo-performing arts school run by the Amuse talent agency, for girls aged 10 to 15. Babymetal began in 2010, as subgroup of Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal spun off into their own thing in 2012, when Su turned 15, and thus "graduated" (aka 'aged out of') Sakura Gakuin). "Megitsune" was from Babymetal's first album. Yui and Moa split their time between SG and Babymetal until they graduated SG in 2014, and then were in Babymetal full time.
As many others have mentioned, Babymetal's energetic live performances were structured such that the girls were able to get breaks by having Su occasionally do solos, giving Yui and Moa a break, and by having Yui and Moa perform together as "Black Babymetal" (while Su got a break). Yui and Moa were good singers in their own right, but Su was the powerhouse. (Trivia: Yui and Moa wrote the Babymetal song "Yon no Uta").

My favorite Baby Metal song, and I love most of them.
You know what sets babymetal apart from other metal bands? It's the exuberance that's so joyful. You listen to their songs and the vibes are just so positive.
And yea i love the girl on Su's left. She's Moa. Very adorable then, very beautiful now with the kinda smile that cures depression:)
Love baby metal. If you can get around the copyright crap listen to “Maximum the Hormone “
4:40 you are actually correct here. The girls said it in one of their 10th year interviews - that when they were younger, they didn't know how to pace themselves, they always pour it all, thus the overflowing energy and vibe - and they end up super exhausted after shows. They were too young to realize.
I'm here for Babymetal Monday!!!!
ijime, dame, zettai live at sonisphere 2014. Basically their international breakthrough. Bumped last minute from side to main stage.
Proper pronunciation: "Meh", as in 🤷♂️meh. "Gi" as in guitar. "Tsu" as in tsunami. "Neh" as in Nelly. Now all together, Me-gi-tsu-neh.
The Japanese alphabet is based on syllables rather than individual letters, with 3 distinct alphabets, one used for Japanese words called hiragana, and one used for pronouncing non- Japanese words called katakana, and kanji which is Chinese characters. め or メ= meh. ぎ or ギ= gi. つ or ツ= tsu. ね or ネ= neh. Megitsune is a female fox or Vixen. Kitsune is a Male fox. Japanese lesson one. 😉😁
Female fox: vixen its pronounced May-git-su-neigh
Moa can sing very well. There's a live birthday one where she sings by herself and its amazing.
Love j rock e jpop
The sad part is one of the younger girls had to be replaced because she got hurt doing a show (I think she fell off the stage.) They started changing the image slightly after that. It was sorta "older sister, younger siblings" in the beginning. Now it's more 3 warrior women.
You're referring to the Budokan's Red night concert when Yui-chan fell off the walkway. She came back up for the next song and the following night (Budokan' Black Night) and did perform for about a year after that. She did leave, allegedly, for health reason, but no one knows the exact reason.
@@JGM0JGM Yeah, it's a shame. I kinda grew attached to the 3 of them together. That dark anime fairytale sorta Alice-in-Wonderland like imagery was cool to me. Their new image is kinda growing on me, though.
You have to watch this song alive, it's a madness 🔥🔥
if you want to hear Moa and Yui ... look for "Song #4" and "Sis Anger"
they were babys in that song, but there women in this one headbanger, sumetal is 22yrs & mometal is 20yrs. now react to this one.vimeo.com/365503288 have fun boy's hope you play it on monday 20th april, i will be watching.
Pls react Road of Resistance live in Japan,PA Pa Ya , B x M x C🎉🎉🎉
Doki doki morning is one of their first songs, and yes, this song were off their first album!
That was my reaction to this song too.
Me when song starts: another jpop or anime theme song. Nice.
Also me halfway through the song: where is this metal coming from?!
Interesting point about whether the girls were pushed into doing this as minors. I know their is a version of this song with commentary by the girls. From what they say and the pure joy in their voices, I'd say they genuinely enjoyed the whole thing.
React to GJ! If you want to listen to the other 2 girls, it's kind of a rap metal too!!
One of the three girls, Yui Mizuno A.K.A. Yuimetal, took time off from the band due to health concerns. She later decided not to return to Babymetal. 😢 On their most recent tour they used one of several back up dancers to take the place of Yuimetal. I am not sure if they plan to permanently replace her or just focus on the two remaining girls and have back up dancers continue to work with them and fill in for Yui. Awesome band though and Great reaction. 😁
This is my Fav song by them.
Check out Oh Majinai by Baby Metal. The male vocalist is from a band
called Sabaton, so if you like this track, you'll love Sabaton's music.
You say you know what "Gimme Chocolate" is about. I bet you don't. I mean, unless you read the translations or someone filled you in, it's NOT about asking for chocolate. Well, it IS about asking for chocolate, but it's not. It's about the internal struggle that we all feel when it comes to things like chocolate. 'I want the chocolate, but I really shouldn't eat it because...'
That struggle is heightened for young ladies on the stage, in the public eye, and under contract.
C! I! O! (chekera) chokoreeto
chokoreeto cho cho cho iiyone?
Demone chotto WEIGHT chotto saikin shinpai nandesu.
"Check-It-Out! Chocolate!
I can have a bit of chocolate, can't I?
But my weight worries me a bit these days."
If you want to hear Yui & Moa singing, I mean really want to hear them...
They did solo covers - one time only.

The originals are just... Well, here you go.

There is also a tradition of handing the microphone to either Yui or Moa for the second half of "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!". It happened on their respective 15th birthdays in 2014, and Moa also performed the second half at Legend M 2019, her 20th birthday. Yui, obviously, could not. Someone else can link you to those, I don't have links to decent recordings.
Many other people will fill you in on Kitsune, Megitsune, foxes, microphone swords, and Black Babymetal (no caps needed). Just stick with it, the Fox Hole runs deep and it is dark. But we've been here for a while and we know the way around. There is no way out, though. We're here to help. Just don't get hung up on things like shoelaces, bicycles, mint-flavored time machines, the frog's pit, tomatoes, cheeseburgers, trying to figure out who Tina is, trying to figure out who Frank is, OTFGK, #WhereIsYui, Musclemetal, and why Yuimetal is badder than Kanye West (Kanye's a little bitch BTW). All will be revealed if you continue the journey.
Oh yeah, love your work! Thanks!
You forgot the Delorean jokes.
One very important thing, that no one seems to have mentioned yet:
Foxes (Kitsune) are a very important part of Japanese folklore.
It's said that foxes, being mischievous, if somehat evil creatures, could lure you out of the road, at night, into your perdition. Or that they'd make you get lost, walking in circles, just for the fun of it.
Foxes were also known as seductive beings, who would attract men, to get whatever they wanted, even getting as far as turning into women and bewitching any man they liked into eternal slavery. The poor fella would fall in love, only to die form starvation and exhaustion after fulfilling even the smallest of the foxes' whims.
Nowadays, to call a a woman kitsune means that she's beautiful, alluring, secretive and mischievous.
By saying they're not kitsunes, in the chorus (kitsune janai), but instead vixens (megitsune), they're saying that they're not evil, yet they still have foxes' traits and you better not mess with them.
And yeah, they're *literally* dancing the lyrics. That kind of dance they do is known as "para-para". Normally it accompanies very happy and light-hearted pop songs, and every gesture/pose/stance has a word or ideia equivalent. In this video they've thrown in some traditional dancing moves (when they go sideways sayin "sore sore sore"), too.
(Also the "gi" in Megitsune is pronounced as "gui" in "guitar")
Hey guys watch doki doki morning, its a first songs of baby metal and its amazing!!! Grettings from south america
This video does a pretty good job answering all your questions about their schooling and how they got to where they're at. It's rather long but there's a lot of wow factors in it. Maybe just chop it up with main points for your react vid? ruclips.net/video/E9xRiOBG82w/видео.html
Was about to post it too 😉
Good video, but way too many spoilers for a reaction channel.
Please react to Rondo of Nightmare next
They use this song often to get the crowd going.. its awesome live..
I've got so many friends that like similar music to me that will NOT listen to BabyMetal. I appreciate y'all jamming it
React to Babymetal Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischief of the Godz Intro) Live Badokan Black Night 2014! ..... its the birth of the Goddess Su-Metal! You will be blown away by the band. im a 40 year old death metal fan and they are the best thing to happen to the staleness metal had for years.
School was a priority. Back while the girls were in school the band toured less, as schooling did limit some of their availability. I recall a story when one of the girls (it was not stated which one, but must have been Moa or Yui) nearly missed the opening night when Babymetal was supporting the Red Hot Chili Peppers because they had to finish a important test before flying to England.
Moa and Yui have nice voices with Moa's probably being less "pitchy" then Yui's. But, though Moa has a good voice there is good reason that Su is the lead singer.
I just discovered Babymetal I would have to give them more and more listen to see if I would like them or not.
Essa banda é ótima. Valeu !!

prepare to fall over dead from the absolute cuteness and talent from Yui and Moa on "Onedari Daisakusen" Holy cow I can't stop smiling watching them performing that. 🤘🦊🤘
6:57Everyone translates "Should not be underestimated"
But It's a literal translation.This is more dirty and brutal way of saying in Japanese.It's a line that overpowers an opponent.
SU is saying "Don't give a fuck"

The older songs, especially of the first releases and the first LP was very heavily Japanese cultural influences. This song is a great example, the main rhythm is Sakura Sakura (Cherry Blossom):
ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html
Those influences were much less on the second CD and non-existant on the third.
You have to check out Band Maid! A Japanese hard rock band, all girls that are amazing musicians and dress like maids. 😁
That cherry blossom part just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
thx for reaction megitsune from baby metal. and please react road of resistence from babymetal..that like the best song of babymetal❤
how did no one make you react to road to resistance by babymetal live, that video is amazing.
Speaking of Tool, you gotta react to Kids performing their song "46 and 2"!
Try watching these songs with the subtitles turned on, the lyrics are often very heavy and cultural.
The Hu Band "Wolf Totem "
Kitsune or migetsune - this devoted she-fox guardian is a faithful friend to thoes she loves. But to the evil and greedy, she's a malicious trickster.
Characteristics- the kitsune appears as a beautiful fox dressed in women's clothing or as a woman or a girl with fox ears and a tail.
