Dude, I come from a background of extreme metal and when I first heard the chorus I literally got choked up. I did not understand a word they were saying but it just resonated with something in me and I was tearing up listening to this 3 little girls doing karate moves xD
@@HP_line_cook It's been 6 years for me. I discovered them the same way a lot of people did in 2014. A friend attempted to troll me with the "Give Me Chocolate" video, which had just gone viral. I said "I listen to AKB48 and Soilwork... how could I NOT love this?!?"
Rondo with Mischiefs of Gods intro is absolutely a MUST. Shows very well and without a shadow of a doubt how good the band and Su-Metal are at their craft.
I recommend checking out Megitsune by them. There's this amazing breakdown to the melody of an ancient folk tune called Sakura Sakura that's meant to be played on a shamisen. I still think about that breakdown and it's been years since I first heard the song.
For many people roughly my age in North America, most will recognize Sakura Sakura as the entrance music of Punch-Out character "Piston Honda". Maybe not the most culturally sensitive way to experience the song, but Punch Out was a big deal back in the day.
I've seen them live and there is simply nothing like it. Its a tsunami of energy and talent like I've never experienced from any other act. Absolutely incredible.
Ahh Babymetal. On paper this is a band I wouldn't think I would enjoy, but I fuggin love this band. Especially as they started using less of the powder pop sections in the songs. Still pop influenced with wonderful melodies, but more intense.
Was not expecting that!!! Mind just 🤯!!!! That guitar alone is something else, then mix the rest in and wow!!!! The singing too! On too the next reactions for them! Thank you again for boarding our horizons!
Some things to note about babymetal is the guitarist Mikio Fujioka passed away 2 years ago and one of the singers Yuimetal, left later that same year. They are continuing on and still producing great songs.
In answer to your question about their ages: Currently, they're in their early 20's, but they had been in this group since Moa-metal and Yui-metal were 12 and Su-metal was 14 At the time of this video, Moa and Yui were 14 & Su-metal was 16 respectively
@@El-ingobernable yeah, exactly Accurately guessing the age of an Asian woman is next to impossible I actually remember one time when a friend of mine was throwing a party and invited me and a bunch of other mutual friends, being that the menu was a potluck kinda thing, I went to get ingredients for something that I was taking to the party and ran into this Asian lady friend of mine who was with these 2 other women, whom I thought were her mother and older sister Yumi tells me that she was also going to this party and I say to her, while indicating the elder of the other 2 women she was with, " You could also bring your sister if she's interested in going " That's when Yumi tells me, "Karl, that's my mom"
I checked this out after your other Baby Metal reaction & it would be so easy to dismiss this as a gimmick but they're actually very good, highly entertaining & they bring something fun & different which is the best part as metal often lacks this imo. Great job dude!
The more you watch the better it gets. Both because you get over the shock and because they have so many good songs that are different from each other.
Spoiler alert: Most metal musicians are fun loving good people. It often doesn't seem that way because the music or lyrics sound angry, but they are. And so are the fans. Babymetal does bring something "fun", but so do most other metal bands, you just haven't noticed.
@@vhaarr Lol. Is that so & I notice plenty thanks. I was around when Sabbath were current & I'm a metal head for as long as I can remember. I also made no comment about the musicians personalities as I'm fully aware they are obviously just normal people too! A lot of metal whether you like it or not is very similar despite the many sub-genres. Dark, aggressive, shouted or screamed by angry guys & the occasional women, which is why I like it! My point, which ironically you haven't noticed, is that Babymetal are not typical or conventional in the genre so by definition are different. How many other metal bands do you know of are fronted by female Japanese pop singers lol?
They defeated their inner demons, revealed as themselves in the end. Personified by the bad guy, they do spiritual warfare,, fox god style, spiritual karate...A tough opponent that may knock you down, united they stand and come baclk stronger to win the day. Brilliant.
I'll always be grateful for those in charge of composing the tracks. They never hold back, even bringing straight Death Metal into the fray. With these girls and Poppy's new album, Avant-Metal's future is bright.
0okamino I cant think of another Hard Rock band that is on their level at any point in the last decade. There hasn’t been a real Hard Rock band since the 90’s now that I think about it because metal dethroned them as the dominant genre of rock music in the 21st century.
@@charleshendrix3137 Band maid is certainly high up there, and even though they are different, I think of Breaking Benjamin as one of the finest Hard Rock bands in the last 20 years. Personal opinion offcourse. Band Maid is amazing though, their latest album hasn´t left my home Hi-Fi since I bought it.
So I just found you a few days back, and I've mostly been watching your Weird Al videos. I did watch a couple of the Elvis ones (and will be watching more), and your reaction to Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou." This morning I thought, "Babymetal! Surely somebody has requested Babymetal!" I think I'm going to be spending some goodly amount of time with your channel.
I think I'm among those that it was an easier jump for because, even though I was a metalhead and pretty big into hardcore punk, stuff like that (though I could appreciate other genres including some that pop had to offer, it wasn't anywhere near as much), I had gotten into anime, and by proxy of that found an appreciation for JRock and JPop (damn you, lovely catchy theme songs!). BabyMetal didn't even really catch me at first. I saw the _Gimme Chocolate_ video around the time it was released, and just thought, "Well, of course, that would be a thing because Japan being Japan." and just shrugged it off. Then I returned to it a while later, and it totally clicked with me. So, here I am. :D
@@thismyname2501 An excellent question. There's honorable mentions like Leilindel of the sadly now-defunct Unexpect and Dominique Lenore Persi of Stolen Babies, and I've found myself really liking Martina Veronika Horváth and her contributions to the last two Thy Catafalque albums even though she's really more a guest contributor there. But my absolute favorite would have to be Asphodel, formerly of Pin-Up Went Down and Penumbra and currently of öOoOoOoOoOo. (öOoOoOoOoOo pronounce their name as 'Chenille', and once you understand that Chenille is French for 'Caterpillar' their name makes sense.) I'd say she's possibly the most versatile vocalist that I've ever heard, even more so than Mike Patton, and that's not a statement I make lightly. To really get a feel for what she can do, you really have to listen to öOoOoOoOoOo's entire Samen album and then understand that she does almost all of the vocals on the album, from the childlike-sounding vocals to the death growls and everything in-between. All of the bands I've mentioned are pretty avant-garde and unconventional in their own ways, but they're all incredible and worth the time it takes to listen to them.
@Butthole Surfer I know everyone has different musical tastes and i dont hate it. But how can you compare an adult vocalist with a 16-year-old girl? I have never heard of Tatiana and her band but I tried to find her and yes, Tatiana is a good vocalist, but she cannot make herself and her band known to the world. A band is not just about individuals, but how you package a band to attract and be loved by fans around the world. I know that Su and 2 other girls don't play music and don't write lyrics. But I also believe that The Great "Kami" Band would not be known to the world as it is now without the Su-metal role on stage as part of Babymetal, and vice versa. As we know that Babymetal was formed before the Kami band became part of Babymetal. They have not yet joined their first song titled "Doki doki Morning", "Headbanger" and "Gimme Chocolate". Su-metal has a good voice at his age and he can attract attention not only from metalheads around the world to watch their live performances.
It’s funny, I just found out about Baby Metal a month ago. Band Maid (I think that’s what it is) is another girl rock band but they play all their instruments.
I discovered Band Maid because of Baby Metal. I have NEVER listened/played Japanese band/group music...ever. And now I'm blasting jams like KARATE and MORATORIUM out my car speakers! 🤘🎸🇯🇵
Ladybaby crushes all of them and there are so many different versions of Ladybaby. They just stopped literally a month ago, but damn they are interesting and better.
"Even if tears spill from our eyes we will face it! Single mindedly, seiya soiya, we will fight on. With our fists more, with our hearts more, while keening all our skills. Still more, seiya soiya, we will fight on, even if our spirits are broken and we can no longer stand." Hi Jamel_AKA_Jamal! Good reaction! Those lyrics convey the message, the song is about fighting on in the face of adversity, never giving up, and working together. This is the song that really got me into the group. I'd heard them before but dismissed them for about a year until I watched this "KARATE" music video. When Su-Metal (lead singer) steps forward and sang her first lines I was hooked. Instant fan for life. While most metal sings about death, destruction, and misery, BABYMETAL sings to inspire, to lift you up, about anti-bullying, and chocolate! They consider themselves more performing artists than recording artists so I would always recommend watching their live videos, but this music video is one of their better ones.
You obviously don't listen to very much Heavy Metal because "most metal" is not about death and destruction and the ones that are have a good message if you care to hear it.
I am so happy that you have reacted to this song. . This is my favorite group now and I've been listening to rock music forever. . They are just so unique and talented and different than other bands in the genre. If you like this one and wish to hear more from Babymetal, Then I hope you will choose to listen to a song from them called the one. . If not that one then a newer one called papaya.
I am so happy you're reacting to this band. Su-metal has an amazing voice. If you get a chance to see them in concert do so. One hell of a show they put on.
I might get crucified myself for this, but I get some serious Freddie Mercury level vibes from Su when she plays with the crowd, talks to them, or generally controls them. She is on that level of showmanship to me.
You should react to the song Starlight by them . Its a tribute song to one of their guitarist who died from an injury in a climbing accident while observing the stars in the nightsky. ( R.I.P. Mikio Fujioka )
Interesting thing: wanna know where they came from? Here's a vid of them at school (Suzukas Graduation, that's why all are crying, cuz they think they'll never see her again). Awesome song starting with Suzuka, Moa is the one who is crying first and Yui holds her hand before her face in the end (Moa and Yui are the smallest ones, so easy to spot) ruclips.net/video/YNtgptXr8-o/видео.html .Did you notice Moa's little smile just before she captured the fly ?
I keep telling people that your channel is really Diverse in music. And here you are jamming to Baby Metal. You sir are totally Awesome! Thank you very much for doing this. This group from Japan is amazing. They have accomplished and gone through so much between 2012-2018. I barely discovered them in 2019. And they are currently on tour across Europe for 2020. Yet their music from Long ago Still has an influence upon us newbies. 🤘🦊🎸🇯🇵
heavy guitar sound in anime theme really have that specific distinct sound don't it. i only ever heard it exist in japan tbh. don't hear that kind of sound from america, canada, spain,poland, heavy guitar sounds etc ya know?
So glad you are doing this. Fun fact, the finger gesture the band memebers are doing is for the God Inari, The white foxes(Kitsune) are considered messengers for Inati, and that is why is some vids you see them with the white fox masks.
Oh boy a Babymetal reaction! Finally. Lol. looks like you might have an increase in your subscribers. It takes the 3rd or 4th song to get hooked by this band. Welcome to the fox hole.
I’ve been waiting for this! Babymetal is just beyond anything most people experience. Everyone who hears for the first time it is just stunned at what they heard, but they ALL find a reason to come back to it!
Megitsune, Doki Doki Morning, and The One also slap hard. Their live performances are epic and they're really good singers who are just getting started. 💖 Su-Metal, the lead singer, has such a great voice and I hope she has a great solo career in the future. She could be as great as Utada.
Bruh, when I saw you reacting to ... no RUSH, not Van Halen, or someother rock band, but some BABYMETAL, I was like... omg all hell breaks loose, this will be epic react time for all. And in spades, just looking AT THE NUMBER OF HITS IN YOUR 3 BM reacts it's off the charts. Thanks for these awesome reacts to this legendary Japanese act! Thank you! :P appreciated :)
Most people think the song is about fighting evil but its about the girls fighting negatives within themselves. The three ghost figures are their inner demons like doubt,fear and selfishness that they must face and defeat.If you notice at the end when the three ghost looking things are unmasked, they are actually themselves, and you can see the reflection of each of the girls in the eyes of the opposing selves
There’s still two more hahaha iine by BabyMetal And Rondo of nightmare live with mischiefs of god intro Other than those check out these by Band-Maid Daydreaming, don’t let me down, Dice, You Cross, Ooparts, Time, Thrill Before yesterday, Reincarnation Blooming, Azure, price of pride
I don't know if you looked it up, yet, but the oldest of the three, the lead singer, was born in 1997. One of the other two left the band, the other was born in 1999.
Ok. So I'm just now catching reactions to this. It's good to learn things about these people I didn't know. I've seen the videos. They sound great. Learning about them is best part of watching your reaction.
Dude, you GOTTA check out Megistune and Pa Pa Ya by BabyMetal. You're in for a treat ! Oh, and also pretty much anything by Maximum the Hormone too, and prepare for a shock : they're often called "the japanese System of a Down". :)
The backing band they use are top notch musicians. Also to your dub step comment. There are a fair few metal acts that take influence from dance music. Pitchshifter The Browning Enter shikari ...even korn have done stuff with skrillex.
great reaction is a pleasure to see an energy youtuber reacting to babymetal this is by definition an idol group that plays j-pop and kawai metal this song was made on February 26, 2016 a great song but if you want the full experience I recommend reacting to your lives to enjoy their interaction with the public and enjoy the show completely arrive a little late you already have like 3 videos more espwro continue to react to them to take you more surprises many feel missed by this style but apparently you enjoyed it from the first minute you are from Open minded I certainly hope you keep it up.
Such a great reaction & you're a joy to watch. Appreciate you checking out the lyrics, most reactors don't do that. As much I love Babymetal I always hold out on subscribing until I hear Band-Maid.
It is 1 AM and I just saw this reaction and that he has others...I'm not seeing sleep for at least two more hours at this rate, and I'm shockingly ok with that.
hearing su-metal hit that note near the end of the song live in concert was genuinely shocking, everyone involved in babymetal is such a talent (especially including Mikio, RIP) and i'm so glad you discovered their music. i hope you get to do a reaction to Megitsune, it's genuinely top-tier.
This band is an awesome band, great choice, with an even crazier backstory. If you like Baby Metal you should check out Band Maid, another all female heavy rock band from Japan that are equally amazing.
Babymetal is just awesome. Next you should try ASTERISM‘s „Got Your Back“. A fantastic band and HAL-CA, the guitar player, is absolutely bad-ass. Two of their songs on their album were co-produced by Buckethead and Bootsy Collins. If you wanna experience how badass a 13 year old girl can shred the guitar, don‘t miss out on them🤘. PS: In case you want to give them a try, please pick their official video from three years ago and not the „360 Battle Session“ version😉.
If you enjoy metal, the most metal thing babymetal has ever done was rondo of nightmare live with gods of mischief intro. Also starlight off the latest album has lethal guitar riffs.
if you are going to do Japanese bands, may i suggest Band-Maid. i'd start with Thrill. i like this band because all of the ladies play their own instruments and they do it extremely well. they are more hard rock then metal though.
@@collinmc3079 hands down these are really talented ladies. the fact that they play their own instruments and they play it extremely well. they just released an english only song called The Dragon Cries.....check it out. its amazing!!!!!!!
@@ocnbrze2003 I checked it out today as well as a shit load of their other stuff , I am very impressed, it is soo hard to find new music these days that rock these old ears . I also checked out Baby Metal , they have some talented muso's in that group.
At the time the video was filmed, Su-metal (lead singer in middle was 17) the 2 girls on the sides were 16, the Kami Band members( backing band) were in their early 30's...
I think all before 2018 fans miss her a lot too but we are in 2020 now, i don't think she would be happy to know fans are still sad for her leaving, especially since Babymetal have been given us plenty of reasons to smile with last year tour and also with this year tour.
Dude, I come from a background of extreme metal and when I first heard the chorus I literally got choked up. I did not understand a word they were saying but it just resonated with something in me and I was tearing up listening to this 3 little girls doing karate moves xD
Warning... the Babymetal rabbit-hole is DEEP.
Said perfectly.
I've been inside the Fox hole for over 4 years now and i refuse to leave it
@@HP_line_cook It's been 6 years for me.
I discovered them the same way a lot of people did in 2014. A friend attempted to troll me with the "Give Me Chocolate" video, which had just gone viral.
I said "I listen to AKB48 and Soilwork... how could I NOT love this?!?"
My journey down the Fox Hole began April, 2019. 🤘🦊🎸🇯🇵
Can confirm, I've been on this hole since the release of the Headbanger video, and that's old, what, 7 or 8 years...
Rondo of Nightmare live (Mischiefs of Gods intro) and Road of Resistance live next.
Both live Baby Metal and Both amazing.
YES YES! Those live version are amazing!
Rondo with Mischiefs of Gods intro is absolutely a MUST. Shows very well and without a shadow of a doubt how good the band and Su-Metal are at their craft.
I recommend checking out Megitsune by them. There's this amazing breakdown to the melody of an ancient folk tune called Sakura Sakura that's meant to be played on a shamisen. I still think about that breakdown and it's been years since I first heard the song.
Great song!! Great call!
For many people roughly my age in North America, most will recognize Sakura Sakura as the entrance music of Punch-Out character "Piston Honda". Maybe not the most culturally sensitive way to experience the song, but Punch Out was a big deal back in the day.
Megitsune is my turn up song. I don't know what they're saying but like metal is in your heart so I can still rock out. 🙌🏾
Uh-oh someone stumbled upon the Foxhole! lol. Enjoy the journey you are about to embark on, these now young ladies are amazing. Welcome to the One!
I've seen them live and there is simply nothing like it. Its a tsunami of energy and talent like I've never experienced from any other act. Absolutely incredible.
RIP Mikio Fujikoa The world lost one of the MOST underrated GREATS!!!
Was Mikio Fujikoa the guitarist of the kami band that had died??
yes sadly he did die
Ahh Babymetal. On paper this is a band I wouldn't think I would enjoy, but I fuggin love this band. Especially as they started using less of the powder pop sections in the songs. Still pop influenced with wonderful melodies, but more intense.

i will forever love LOVE the facial expression people get when they first see a Babymetal music video.

the first exposure to BABYMETAL and the rest will be another first time of Babymetal.

The bands costumes are so awesome.
Check out the live version of this song. She hits those notes and the crowd is wild for them.
Check out "Iijime, Dame, Zettai" by Babymetal if you're gonna analyze the lyrics. That song has a really good message. Also an amazing song obviously.
The groovy riffage in this song really brings it.

I am so happy you're reacting to this band. Su-metal has an amazing voice. If you get a chance to see them in concert do so. One hell of a show they put on.
i love seeing them live. i hope they come back to the states more
Update: Your reaction made it to the Baby Metal fanclub page on the FB. 👍🤘🎸🦊
Definitely recommend the live version at download, they sound identical to the studio version and the choreography is just amazing
I might get crucified myself for this, but I get some serious Freddie Mercury level vibes from Su when she plays with the crowd, talks to them, or generally controls them. She is on that level of showmanship to me.
You should react to the song Starlight by them . Its a tribute song to one of their guitarist who died from an injury in a climbing accident while observing the stars in the nightsky. ( R.I.P. Mikio Fujioka )
My dude was vibing out! Hell yeah man! Love it!
Interesting thing: wanna know where they came from? Here's a vid of them at school (Suzukas Graduation, that's why all are crying, cuz they think they'll never see her again). Awesome song starting with Suzuka, Moa is the one who is crying first and Yui holds her hand before her face in the end (Moa and Yui are the smallest ones, so easy to spot) ruclips.net/video/YNtgptXr8-o/видео.html .Did you notice Moa's little smile just before she captured the fly ?
I keep telling people that your channel is really Diverse in music. And here you are jamming to Baby Metal. You sir are totally Awesome! Thank you very much for doing this. This group from Japan is amazing. They have accomplished and gone through so much between 2012-2018. I barely discovered them in 2019. And they are currently on tour across Europe for 2020. Yet their music from Long ago Still has an influence upon us newbies. 🤘🦊🎸🇯🇵
You should check babymetal rondo of nightmare (with mischiefs of god intro) live
BABYMETAL🖤🖤🖤
i love baby metal. to me they always sound like the theme to a kick ass anime
heavy guitar sound in anime theme really have that specific distinct sound don't it. i only ever heard it exist in japan tbh. don't hear that kind of sound from america, canada, spain,poland, heavy guitar sounds etc ya know?
So glad you are doing this. Fun fact, the finger gesture the band memebers are doing is for the God Inari, The white foxes(Kitsune) are considered messengers for Inati, and that is why is some vids you see them with the white fox masks.
Babymetal is the reason I started watching any reactors.
Oh boy a Babymetal reaction! Finally. Lol. looks like you might have an increase in your subscribers. It takes the 3rd or 4th song to get hooked by this band. Welcome to the fox hole.
Took me one bro. Their voices and that band? Freaking awesome!
@@scottferrell2806 Was it this video that did it, or have you been a fan for awhile?
This one was the first I had ever seen. They blew me away! That choreography, and those vocals with that metal man! Wow!
I’ve been waiting for this! Babymetal is just beyond anything most people experience. Everyone who hears for the first time it is just stunned at what they heard, but they ALL find a reason to come back to it!
Oh going on a j-metal spree?
Try Maximum the Hormone - yoshu fukushu.
The lyric video got taken down but the translation is on lyric sites.
I always recommend “Maximum the Hormone” yo reaction channels
Recommended this months ago
Bout time man! I’ve been putting BABYMETAL on ur line since u started the channel
Babymetal your in for a ride
They are now 20+21yrs of age and have a new album out check out Santi Santi Santi !!!!20
Megitsune, Doki Doki Morning, and The One also slap hard. Their live performances are epic and they're really good singers who are just getting started. 💖 Su-Metal, the lead singer, has such a great voice and I hope she has a great solo career in the future. She could be as great as Utada.
These guys are one of my top bands.
I saw BabymetaL in Montreal in 2014. I haven't been the same since.
I'm glad you liked it. I really like a lot of Baby Metal Songs. They're... interesting. And the musicianship is great!
Bruh, when I saw you reacting to ... no RUSH, not Van Halen, or someother rock band, but some BABYMETAL, I was like... omg all hell breaks loose, this will be epic react time for all. And in spades, just looking AT THE NUMBER OF HITS IN YOUR 3 BM reacts it's off the charts. Thanks for these awesome reacts to this legendary Japanese act! Thank you! :P appreciated :)
Most people think the song is about fighting evil but its about the girls fighting negatives within themselves. The three ghost figures are their inner demons like doubt,fear and selfishness that they must face and defeat.If you notice at the end when the three ghost looking things are unmasked, they are actually themselves, and you can see the reflection of each of the girls in the eyes of the opposing selves
There’s still two more hahaha

Siii Mas de BabyMetal!!!
I dove into the foxhole about a week ago.
There is NO turning back 🦊
Who would want to?! It's incredibly cozy down here...and they have fox-shaped cookies!
Man... Babymetal needs to hurry up and make a music video for BxMxC just so I can enjoy watching people react to it.
I don't know if you looked it up, yet, but the oldest of the three, the lead singer, was born in 1997. One of the other two left the band, the other was born in 1999.
Ok. So I'm just now catching reactions to this. It's good to learn things about these people I didn't know. I've seen the videos. They sound great. Learning about them is best part of watching your reaction.
I'm so happy you finally go to them. And some tracks you just don't need translations just enjoy it and 🤘🤘
You should check out ninjen isu as well they are a metal band from Japan
Brian Belluz
I‘m going to their Berlin-show and am totally excited to see them live🤘.
Times of Trouble by Temple of the Dog
One of Chris Cornell's awesome vocal performances, you won't be disappointed 👍
Dude, you GOTTA check out Megistune and Pa Pa Ya by BabyMetal. You're in for a treat !
Oh, and also pretty much anything by Maximum the Hormone too, and prepare for a shock : they're often called "the japanese System of a Down". :)
Finally some Babymetal on this channel! Welcome to the foxhole, brother.
Holy shit, clicked on this reaction so fast.
Can't believe I'm about to say this but i think I like baby metal😶
The backing band they use are top notch musicians.
Also to your dub step comment.
There are a fair few metal acts that take influence from dance music.
Pitchshifter
The Browning
Enter shikari
...even korn have done stuff with skrillex.
which is why he should go back to England and do Bring Me The Horizon
You got to see them with a crowd React to Akatsuki next
great reaction is a pleasure to see an energy youtuber reacting to babymetal this is by definition an idol group that plays j-pop and kawai metal this song was made on February 26, 2016 a great song but if you want the full experience I recommend reacting to your lives to enjoy their interaction with the public and enjoy the show completely arrive a little late you already have like 3 videos more espwro continue to react to them to take you more surprises many feel missed by this style but apparently you enjoyed it from the first minute you are from Open minded I certainly hope you keep it up.
They are my favorite group right now. Glad you got to them. Could you also please react to Hum - Stars? Thanks!
Such a great reaction & you're a joy to watch. Appreciate you checking out the lyrics, most reactors don't do that. As much I love Babymetal I always hold out on subscribing until I hear Band-Maid.

A guilty pleasure of mine not gonna lie
Welp, I was going to sleep. Guess that can wait a bit. XD Check out "Doki Doki Morning" or "Iine" soon.
It is 1 AM and I just saw this reaction and that he has others...I'm not seeing sleep for at least two more hours at this rate, and I'm shockingly ok with that.
hearing su-metal hit that note near the end of the song live in concert was genuinely shocking, everyone involved in babymetal is such a talent (especially including Mikio, RIP) and i'm so glad you discovered their music. i hope you get to do a reaction to Megitsune, it's genuinely top-tier.
Dont know if this is my request or you're just doing babymetal but ty for doing it
The last vid with all three priestesses of the fox god. Yui is a much missed idol of the group.
May she live a long, happy life, and never lack for tomatoes.
Fans BABY METAL from Indonesia 😍😍
They will be visiting. :D
METAL GALAXY WORLD TOUR IN ASIA
2020.03.29 [Sun] Basket Hall Senayan / Jakarta
This band is an awesome band, great choice, with an even crazier backstory. If you like Baby Metal you should check out Band Maid, another all female heavy rock band from Japan that are equally amazing.
grown man totally into all of this, without understanding a word, without lyrics on the screen... aint that all of us
You should hear Sis anger, Tales of the destinies and Awadama fever from that record!
So glad I suggested this on one of your Korn reactions and it brought even more requests out! Dying to see this group live next time they tour USA
Babymetal is just awesome.
Next you should try ASTERISM‘s „Got Your Back“. A fantastic band and HAL-CA, the guitar player, is absolutely bad-ass.
Two of their songs on their album were co-produced by Buckethead and Bootsy Collins.
If you wanna experience how badass a 13 year old girl can shred the guitar, don‘t miss out on them🤘.
PS: In case you want to give them a try, please pick their official video from three years ago and not the „360 Battle Session“ version😉.
Oh yes. They are so talented. The bass player is incredible as well. Such a high level for their young age. Woow
It's about time you get to babymetal they're in their 20ies now this is old video back when they was around 14
Good call, this is my second favorite Babymetal song (to date) after Megitsune.
Good morning and thanks for the wake N bake video ❤️
I like your reaction! I know that you love good music. me too. babymetal〜pink floyd,rage against the machine!
THIS IS THE REAL BABYMETAL ...KARATE IS THE BEST METAL SONG EVER....AKATSUKI TOO
If you enjoy metal, the most metal thing babymetal has ever done was rondo of nightmare live with gods of mischief intro. Also starlight off the latest album has lethal guitar riffs.
i adore your vivid reaction!
Never could do metal with J-pop, but these girls work hard and I give them props.
i really like them!!!
if you are going to do Japanese bands, may i suggest Band-Maid. i'd start with Thrill. i like this band because all of the ladies play their own instruments and they do it extremely well. they are more hard rock then metal though.
I have only just come across Band Maid today, they rock.. there is still hope for this generations music.
@@collinmc3079 hands down these are really talented ladies. the fact that they play their own instruments and they play it extremely well. they just released an english only song called The Dragon Cries.....check it out. its amazing!!!!!!!
@@ocnbrze2003 I checked it out today as well as a shit load of their other stuff , I am very impressed, it is soo hard to find new music these days that rock these old ears . I also checked out Baby Metal , they have some talented muso's in that group.
I would like to suggest my favorite song by them. The One.
At the time the video was filmed, Su-metal (lead singer in middle was 17) the 2 girls on the sides were 16, the Kami Band members( backing band) were in their early 30's...
I've been listening for years...thank you for translating.
A song about fighting for love and to keep it
I miss you Yuimetal so much : (
I think all before 2018 fans miss her a lot too but we are in 2020 now, i don't think she would be happy to know fans are still sad for her leaving, especially since Babymetal have been given us plenty of reasons to smile with last year tour and also with this year tour.
@@jmiguel8861 I know. I just want to see her again, smiling, dancing, singing, having fun.
