You're a man of your word, sir. Hope you enjoyed reacting to it as much as I enjoyed watching your reaction. Just another example on how music is the universal language. You had no clue what they were saying, but it didn't matter. You couldn't help but nod your head to the beat. Good luck trying to get that hook out of your head now. It's super catchy in any language!
On a side note, what you say about mental health at the end of your videos might get overlooked, but for someone going through it, it might make all the difference in the world. Good on you for that.
Had a great time golfing, and it was my pleasure meeting you. Genuinely good guy. Best of luck in all future endeavors.
Hell yeah brother. I appreciate the kind words 🙏. It was nice to meet you and I’m sure we’ll get out to hack it up again. I appreciate your request and told you I got you and a shout out! 👊
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Music is the ultimate driver of our emotions and feelings, and can take us everywhere we wanna go. BabyMetal is one those rare groups many people called "happy-metal", these girls got the power to pump your mood up and literally had saved many people's life, especially during the lockdown, now i know this is a risky topic but just wanted to give another usual pov many people have over this special group and why we love them so much, you got the best of both worlds with them, the metal and the happy lyrics.
You'll probably have blocked issues when keep diving into their songs so i left in my comment a couple of suggestions, try one of these if you need it, of course there will be more suggestions in comments from all time fans, but the thing is around this time when they're releasing new material the usually safe to react versions gets blocked either way, you have some luck with this one and the heavy filters so hopefully will stay that way.🙏
Thanks again Jordan for giving this suggestions and spreading BM love.🦊🤘
@@jakemuller8626 nice pick MJ!
Enjoy the Foxhole!
The normal reaction to BabyMetal:
1. WTF?!?
2. What the HELL am I listening to?!?
3. This is kind of legit.
4. Holy Crap!
5. Is there more?
This concert took place the day after the lead singer's 16th birthday. The other two were 14 at this time.
Welcome to the awesome J-pop and metal fusion that is Babymetal! Always go for the stage show videos - part of the magic is the performance. As a hip-hop guy, you should react to Pa Pa Ya! Road of Resistance and Headbanger are also two of my favorites.
Pa Pa Ya is a great suggestion for someone with hip hop background.
I think BMC (live) will be better
They basically invented this genre combining J-Pop with heavy metal. (K-Pop is Korean, J-Pop is Japanese) First performing in 2010 when the lead singer was 12 and the other two were 11. This performance was 3-1/2 years later when Su was 16 and the others were 14. Next try "Road of Resistance, Live in Japan"
Ahh yes Babymetal one of the biggest acts to ever come out of Japan!
BABYMETAL - Splitting brains into halves since 2010!
> "I apologize if it's not K-Pop..."
Well... Since they are Japanese, it would be J-Pop...
> "How old are they?"
In the footage (from December 2013) you've seen: Suzuka Nakamoto (aka. SU-METAL, lead singer) was barely 16 and Yui Mizuno/Moa Kikuchi (aka. YUIMETAL/MOAMETAL, backing vocals and dance) were 14 years old. Now they are 24/23.
More to check out: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (note: the first Letter is a capital i, not an l) live at the Sonisphere Festival in the UK in 2014 ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html
Written for 14 yr olds to sing. The lyrics for this one are pretty simple. Gimme Chocolate. I want some chocolate. I am worried I will get fat. Gimme chocolate! Just awesomeness in the cutest package!
The fact that you've heard Babymetal for the first time and you've been talking about it for so long is proof that you're already into Fox hole. I’m Japanese and I've heard good things about Babymetal, but I thought they were an "idol group" and had no interest at all. But one of their early songs called 'Doki Doki Morning' got me hooked momentarily to the present day. The first time I heard it, I almost laughed out loud and I don't know why but I also cried. Please listen to "Syncopation" as well. But all songs are great. And the three of them, "Suzuka Nakamoto", "Moa Kikuchi" and "Yui Mizuno", are different from other singers who took dance and singing lessons since they were around 4 years old. Once I get worried about Babymetal, I start looking into their past activities, and then I get hooked again. Please check out "Sakura Gakuin". Make your life more enjoyable every day.
BABYMETAL finds you when you need them the most. Enjoy the ride. WE ARE THE ONE, TOGETHER FOREVER.
For more BABYMETAL i highly recommend "Megitsune" and "Ijime, Dame, Zettai"
Well, if he's a rap song writer, PA PA PAYA might be RIGHT up his alley
@@XMorbidReignX "if"? PA PA PAYA is a great song but still none of it is in English.
@@MrKnowledge0014 F.Hero spits Thai fire though
@@MrKnowledge0014 so? might not be in English but it's one hell of a song
@@chaosmage1756 no doubt it is a great song but when someone is rapping in a different language it's harder to follow than 1 somebody is singing
Dude, I found these girls 5 months ago. And was blown away. They are a live band. I have all their concerts and they never fail to impress.
I love Babymetal. They are adorably brutal. They have a new song out and it is a masterpiece
Watatatata tata tatata, zikkyun! Walalalala lala lalala, dokkyun! Is meant to mimic a machine gun shooting "fat" bullets at them. Zikkyun and dokkyun are the Japanese words for a ricochet sound. The song is about a young girl who is struggling to balance her desire to keep her weight down with her desire to eat chocolate.
Your trip down the Fox hole begin. Welcome to The One. Kitsune up. 🦊🤘
Cliff, you're facial reactions are exactly like mine were the first time I heard Babymetal. Their music is very catchy and the band is amazing. I have become enamoured with this band. Hope you give them some more listens.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m definitely not done. I see a lot of people commenting and subscribing. That’s means that you want more. You guys are in charge of this channel 😊 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial awesome ✌
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🍫 💝
The BABYMETAL members are very aware that "WTF?" is a common first reaction.
That's one reason their early videos went viral. They look at this as a way of getting a foot in the door.
'Gimme Chocolate!!' is their most popular music video (over 165 million views).
They have been joined on stage for this song by members of Korn, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and DragonForce.
Not all at the same time though. : )
That was the world debut for this song, although the music video uses the studio audio, rather than the live concert audio.
The actual live 'Legend 1997' concert (named for the lead singer's birth year) sounds great on blu-ray with the live sound.
Lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) had just turned sixteen the day before this December 2013 concert.
Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were both fourteen.
The whole thing, on paper, doesn't seem like it should work. It just does.
Probably because they don't half-ass it.
The songwriting, the choreography, the singing, and the music are all executed at the highest level.
However, I think you might wonder if you're hearing the same group when you check out a much newer song like 'BxMxC', or the latest, 'Divine Attack - Shingeki'.
I'm going to my second concert later in the year, didn't hesitate for a second to get tickets again. They're bloody awesome and such a fun time. High energy hour long set, it's just pure unadulterated good time
This is a song about a girl who wants to eat chocolate. But she also has to watch her figure and not gain weight. This makes her angry and frustrated. Hence, the growling voice in the background saying, "GIMME CHOCOLATE!". BABYMETAL is one of a kind. React to " CATCH MY IF YOU CAN", please?!?
Road of Resistance is a shockingly good performance both by the girls & the rest of the band. it will redefine how you see BabyMetal. go watch it now, you will not be disappointed.
I just discovered BabyMetal too.
My reaction was pretty much like yours.
First , the band seriously kicks butt.
Second. The girls sing well and the dancing is adorable , but the girls are so damn cute !
Put it all together and I love it.
Watch the Steven Colbert live TV version; you can see the band in that one!
That initial moment of "Why the hell is this so good?" is very real, and almost entirely universal. Eventually, you dive in and realize it works because even with the cutest voices, they are complete badasses.
They were teenagers.
Speaking of the Mashpit check out Road Of Resistance. LOL
That was a very fun reaction, thanks! BABYMETAL never fails to cheer me up, and last week they even came back with a brand new song (which is totally different from Gimme Choco).
If you like Hip Hop, try Pa Pa Ya.
You may also like Headbanger too.
Babymetal, they're so addictive :V be aware.
Welcome to the entrance to "the foxhole", sir. Try more Babymetal - I think you'll enjoy. I'd recommend searching for "BABYMETAL - PA PA YA!! (feat. F.HERO) (OFFICIAL)", Karate or Megitsune.
I'd suggest to avoid copyright issues take pauses, talk over the video audio, all the usual tricks, as Babymetal vids get blocked a lot more than some, and it'd be great to not have the words over the top of the video.
Happy exploring the wonderful world of Babymetal 🙂
Old school Thrash Metal. Combinations of Metallica "Fight Fire With Fire" and Slayer "Raining Blood". Heaviest, Brutal song about Chocolate. React to the song on late night show with Stephen Colbert. Old school metalheads can appreciate the metal, younger audience can appreciate the J Pop.

Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal Galaxy 🦊🤘
You arriving to a special time since they recently released their new single starting a new era we've never seen before, enjoy your journey a little more before reaching this, don't worry, somehow everything will make sense lol
Dance choreography and metal had never been seen before and they somehow managed to make it works creating their unique own genre called kawaii-metal, mixing Jpop (not kpop) and heavy metal along with many more sub genres and rhythms, you'll have so much fun going through this journey.
However this isn't actually live version, is studio album version over a live performance which was partially live only on the vocals and choreography with backing track sound. They have their own band called Kami Band introduced later on that same show and after that Kami Band become regular at live performance.
(Continue...)
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 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, They are:
- SuMetal (lead vocals).
- MoaMetal (scream and dance)
- YuiMetal (scream and dance, former member since 2018)
None of them are related.
This was in December 2013 at SuMetal 16th Birthday, the other girls had 14 yo and there was a big party you have seen nothing yet, wait for "Babymetal Death".
Some recommendations for next songs like:
- Catch Me If You Can live at Budokan 2014 (you got a safe to react version with subtitles at GuilhermeCait) or...
- Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at this same live performance Legend 1997 in Makuhari Messe Japan when SuMetal is celebrating her birthday becoming a metal goddess queen and leaving her idol jpop form (you can find one at Gans Tomas under "Head Bangya" title).
You have more than 50 songs and still more to come. Amuse their label is very hard to deal so if you want to avoid copyright blocked you have "Babymetal Reactor Resource" you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them.
That was a fun story about how you stumble across this group, really thanks to that guy who recommended you this.
Hope you coming back with more BM songs. See you! 🦊🤘
@@jakemuller8626 my man Jake is everywhere yo!
Well I reacted the same way ,,,my first time! Welcome to Baby Metal
i love this song! Babymetal always gets dismissed as just singing and dancing. They are truly amazing and respected by metal legends. THNX FOR THE REACTION!!
( they have a new song out Divine attack react to that too!!)
I would be fine with calling their style Idol metal, seeing the fusion of metal with the Idol culture to come out of Japan.
Hahaha I love your reaction. I’ve shown some metal friends of mine BABYMETAL when they never heard of them and their reactions were almost the exact same as yours. It’s priceless. Got to love this band
every time I hear this song these cute girls put a big smile on my face...and I cried the first time I heard this song...the innocence, the melody, the girls' smiles...oh God
If you want subtitles with Babymetal, check out the videos by "who?" ruclips.net/user/whoooo Babymetal is supported directly via the ID system and the videos are well done mashups from various concert feeds.
Visible confusion is one side effects of seeing them for the first time. The best way that I have heard Babymetal described is this should not work but it does. Sumetal's voice gets even better when she gets older.
Been a hardcore metal head since 1990. I f'n LOVE Babymetal. Fxxk the haters
More BabyMetal all the time
if you go down the Babymetal rabbit hole watch "road to resistance" live in japan.
"What just happened" is a common phrase when first seeing/hearing Babymetal. Keep with it, they are GREAT! Check out Megitsune (Official) next
They are coming out with a new album!!!!!
If you want to see some crazy babymetal crowds I suggest you check out road of resistance live in Japan or Headbanger from the legend of 1997 show
Yes
Dude! I am pretty sure that is Budokan and it was packed. Also, it's J-Pop. K-Pop was really close enough. I know that the lead singer, Sumetal, was 11 when the band started and the back up dancers, Yuimetal and Moametal, were 10. They are a great group.
The genre is called kawaii metal, or cute metal, and they are the band that started the genre. That concert was the 60,000 capacity Tokyo Dome and they sold it out 2 nights straight.
They were 15 and 16 at the time. They're a Japanese band.
Yes the usual look on face first time seeing BabyMetal. Which songs to recommend as someone has already commented" all of them" .
But Road of Resistance, Megitsune, Catch Me if You Can good place to start. You mentioned mental health there are lots of people who are fans of BabyMetal talk or mentioned that BabyMetal has helped them though countless problems or just changed there lives . You probably see what i mean the more you discover about them . Enjoy your journey down the Foxhole if you decide to take it 😁
🤘🦊🤘
Wait till you react to Road of Resistance, Catch Me If You Can, and Rhondo of Nightmare. Road of Resistance is truly epic!
Uh oh. Well if you haven't done it yet. It's time to react to Road of Resistance Live From Japan. Probably their most iconic performance, IMO.
So the lyric of this song is about a girl wanting to eat chocolate, but being worried about gaining weight.
So now you have J-Pop mixed with Metal mixed with preteen girl concerns :D
Check out Babymetal's Road of Resistance live in Japan. The discipline and professionalism of these girls is insane.
BabyMetal is a great fusion band, lots of talent. Epic band/musicians and top notch work by Su, Moa, and Yui. Lots of really good songs to check out that are much better than this one. I would recommend "Syncopation" or "Kagerou" for a more mature sound.
I was on a you tube music run, hunting heavy metal on you tube, this was before baby metal was even outside of Japan,
I was like okay I'll bite and was taken by them.
I researched them and their background and the band had major heavy metal cred musician's and were being fronted by these girl band singers.
The question at the time to me was could this band go global?
Anyway, I turned them on to a fellow worker and Baby Metal was being played all around my work.
to this day I have a heartfelt feeling for them the same as the first time listening to; Black Sabbath, Judas Preist. AC DC. Deep Purple and more, (look up 1970 heavy metal)
Rock on Baby Metal!!!
It takes the edge off the Metal with the pop, and it doesn't matter what the lyrics are because I can't understand it anyways. It's just good to listen to! Scary thing is they were in junior high, now they are young women with still so much longer in their careers. Awesome! This song was 2016. They have been on a break for a few years. They are just about to tour and release a new album in early 2023. New song just came out last week!
ruclips.net/video/_gUW2OnPvHI/видео.html Divine Attack! Welcome to the Foxhole!
lets go react more babymetal live performance
love from INDIA🇮🇳
“I don’t know how, but it works!” Said every reactor after meeting Babymetal for the first time. 😀 #notacult
I went into Babymetal the same way. Except, I liked metal and I liked anime music. But I never thought this could be combined in such a great way. Been on the Fox Hunt ever since...^^ 🦊🤘
Yes, everybody has reacted to it, but I still like Road to Resistance and Doki Doki Morning and Pa Pa Ya! (the last is a coop with a hip-hip singer from Thailand). While Gimme Chocolade is still fun, I think it's not very versatile and does not show what these women are really capable of.
BABYMETAL= I'm SO FUCKING CONFUSED, BUT IN A GOOD WAY!!!!!!
Welcome to the Foxhole. Now do a reaction to Catch me if you Can (song about hide and seek), Headbanger (suggest Live 1997), then you'll need to watch the videos about who Babymetal is. Then watch Road of Resistance Live Japan 1997 (recorded in 2015 I think), BMC, then finally watch Death Live Legend 1997. It will blow your mind. Babymetal rocks! good job :)
It's always funny seeing people's reaction once they hear them sing 😂
You should check out BxMxC it's a hip-hop-inspired song that's called Babymetal cypher, also papaya has a rapper do a verse cool stuff, keep up the good content
Welcome to yet another rabbit hole Cliff my friend! Not everyone gets Babymetal, and I'm glad to see you do. May I suggest Babymetal - Karate?
Excelente ! BabyMetal never disappoint . But check the live performance ( that is the oficial MV). example : The Late Show With Stephen Colbert 2015 BabyMetal Gimme Chocolate . Brutal sound and super cute swett nipon voice ! or to the same reaction`s show 2013 , BabyMetal DEATH ! absolut madness !!!! Thank You !
I remember watching this for the first time and feeling like my brain was broken (in a good way). Two genres of music you'd never think would go together and they kill it. I think I stared at the screen for a good 10 minutes without moving afterwards just trying to figure out what I just watched.
They have lots of really great early stuff that'll blow your mind. The later stuff... well, it's a bit more controversial. Still, you'll have plenty to discover.
you gotta check out babymetal road of resistance live in japan
I feel ya bro , it's like Metal and Anime' merged...My friend got me into this , it's good stuff...
Not usually one to comment but as someone who doesn't speak Japanese at all I love Babymetal's music. You gotta check out "PA PA YA!!!" there is a rap section in it, it isn't in English either but I think you'll really like it. Love your content hope you're doing well and having a great week!
Nice reaction. Welcome to the foxhole. Babymetal have been around for over 10 years now. Lots to talk about here. Let's take it slow. Focus on this song. A combination of Jpop and Metal musically. The lyrics start off with Yui and Moa doing what amounts to the sound kids in Japan make for guns. And they're holding their hands in gun positions. which means they're not just saying give me chocolate. They're demanding chocolate in a kid friendly Kawaii sort of way. The kawaii means cute in Japanese but it is also a whole vibe there as well. And that is a big part of Babymetal. The Baby comes from the creation of a new music style. Kawaii Metal. Like a newborn baby. They came out with a new style of metal. The lyrics then go on talking about wanting chocolate. But then they hold off eating it because they're worried about their weight. By adding choreography to metal they don't have worry about that any time soon. They burn those calories fast. Next, they eat the chocolate and become so happy about it they trumpet about it. This is reflected in the music as well as in the choreography. A simple song but one many can relate to. I've seen folks with chocolate cravings. It can get ugly. lol. Babymetal are the fun happy side of metal. Also, they don't just look young. They are young. Just kids when they started. I always suggest starting with their early material so you can grow with the band. Literally since they were 12 and 10 when they first got together. For more early stuff check out. Megitsune (their most performed song), iine (which due to font problems on youtube looks like line) a musical tour de force of how many music genres can we do in one song. For Babymetal it's a warmup. They were just getting started with the blends. It becomes signature musical style for them. For now, we have their first song Doki Doki Morning. Babymetal blends everything. Making then very entertaining. And it's not just the music but in their dancing as well. Overall, Babymetal is one of the world's most unique bands. They've done everything their own way. Enjoy the ride down the foxhole and into the Babymetal galaxy of music.
the girls are in their early 20s now but they were about 12-14 when they started (the lead, Su-metal is a couple years older than the others). at the time of this performance they were probably around 14-16.
Kawaii Metal. They were all in pop groups growing up like we did mickey mouse club that led to backstreet, britney, etc
The next one? Lol all of them 😂
Sis Anger is quite heavy. Road of Resistance, Babymetal Death, Rondo of Nightmare, Headbanger, Syncopation, Pa Pa Ya and on and on and on it goes...
The newest single Divine Attack from their upcoming album that dropped just a few days ago is also something to behold ruclips.net/video/_gUW2OnPvHI/видео.html
If you enjoyed Gimme Chocolate, you're in for a treat. Welcome to the Foxhole. There's no escape 🤘🦊🤘
BABYMETAL is happy metal that cheers everyone up and makes them smile!
The world needs this music now 😁.
In 2014, BABYMETAL toured Europe, performing miracles at the first metal festival they attended on their UK tour!BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL ) On the theme of bullying. "Let's all stop bullying!". It was a very touching stage... look forward to SEE YOU😊

BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
If this is your first experience with Japanese rock n metal, you are in for a BIG SURPRISE!!!
There are all guy bands, guys n girls, and the best all female bands EVER. They shred like you will not believe.
But Babymetal was my first experience close to 4.5 years ago.
Me: an old headbanger, now retired an 68 on Saturday.
I was cleaning garage. CD player died. S.D. CA radio sucks-mostly.
Daughter home from work said give me your phone got me into RUclips and she loaded a video of Babymetal. Mind blown. WOW!!!! Ran my battery down on my phone watching Babymetal videos for hours some three four five times. My musical soul had been healed. Also I found all my favorite bands led Zeppelin Judas Priest Linda Ronstadt their music was all here The videos were all here. 7th heaven I thought.
But these three young ladies led me to heaven of rock, hard rock and metal from Japan.
Band-Maid
Lovebites
Aldious
Mary's Blood
Doll$boxx
Show-Ya (playing since the 80's)!!!
Bridear
Hagane
NEMOPHILA
Hanabie
...all female...all play their own instruments. Mind blown repeatedly.
Male n female members:
Unlucky Morpheus
Wagakki band
But Babymetal was first.
Subbing in about 5 seconds...😈👍😃
I'd give songs and tell you the style music of each band but it's past my bedtime and I'll be needing to get up in about three and a half hours or so. Make coffee for all my younglings going off to work n helping them with grandkids. A busy retirement...love my crazy family.
The magical powers of heavy metal surpass genre boundaries. That's why I love it so much. It's one of the few genres that isn't necessarily specific to any culture, or region or ethnic group. The backbone of metal of course came from rock and blues both stemming from African American culture but then you also combine the virtuosity of classical music, you have bands that approach it from their own cultural perspective such as Moonsorrow- who write a very evocative style of folk metal based in Finnish folk music and mythology. Same with Norway and Sweden, they have thriving metal scenes that are very much influenced from Norse mythology and culture. And again this very example. That's why I don't get it that some old school metalheads want to gatekeep and say which genres are ok and not ok to mix with metal. But metal is inherently subversive, to confront topics that are considered taboo to engage with. But also metal is nerdy as fuck. You got all kind of bands that do concept albums about LOTR, people that dress in corpse paint and spike gauntlets and make evil theatrical music videos of them in the middle of a blizzard screeching about demons and winter and shit. Any kind of cultural theme, genre or influence you could imagine most likely has at least one metal band that contains it. Literally to the point that people just start calling things "experimental" or "avant garde" because they have so many different genre influences. Projects like this are why I continue to identify as a metalhead even tho there are some disappointingly big pockets of the community that are toxic AS FUCK. More often than not we're a very welcoming and accepting community
I just subscribed to you because I wanna make sure I catch all your journey into the foxhole. Good luck to you and God save our Queen Su
Headbanger, Death and Road of Resistance.
I ssw them last week in Nashville. Awesome show they. Sound just like the album live
Baby metal started as a subset of Sakura Gakuin it is metal they call it Kawai metal (cute metal) The Debuted at Summer Sonic in Japan in 2012 they debuted on a major label in 2013 and have since released 3 albums with a forth coming out next year they are Baby Metal, Metal Restance , Metal Galaxy and The Other One Releasing in 2023.
I knew you would end up at BABYMETAL at some point. Perfect reaction. Just what I expected. Great work. Keepitup
They are the best band for first time reactions.
5 months later, saw them live here in the UK in Glasgow. Was amazing. They were only a support act and the place was packed for them. Great performance and even with only half a stage (being support) they still did all the dancing etc
You should react to BabyMetal - BxMxC will be more in your wheelhouse
hey Cliff, SINCE YOU LIKED THIS, check Babymetal - Pa Pa Ya!!
I have told anyone who has reacted to this song in particular, if they’re new to the band: “Gimme Chocolate” is basically as if you actually gave a group of 5 year olds chocolate, and set them loose in the musical booth, but the 5 year olds are super talented, like these young ladies. That’s the energy take I get from this song in particular.
uuuu babymetal
Great reaction mate
Highly recommended to watch "Iine" - official MV and every Babymetal song :)))))
Every one is masterpiece.
Welcome to foxhole.
Hi Cliff! Glad to see reactions like yours, even 10 years after the announcement! But be careful, these girls have an addictive streak!
It's a different sound for them but you need to check out the song No Rain No Rainbow
They’re called an idol band. It’s an odd Japanese thing. Love it, though!!
Sugoi! LOVE BABYMETAL!!!
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #metalAF
React to BxMxC next! My favorite song by them. Shit hits hard af
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy (or the Fox Hole ... that will be explained the more you see and hear). They are Japanese, so what they do is fuse JPop (not KPop - that would make them Korean) with Metal ... but they do so much more than that.
'Gimme Chocolate' is a simple song and one of their fun ones - they just want a piece of chocolate but are a bit worried about their weight. But it is chocolate, it would be so nice and would make them happy, so can they just have a piece of chocolate please?
This was the video that went viral in 2014 and got them noticed internationally - mainly for the WTF reactions it got (a bit like you were confused, so was everybody else), but there is so much more to them than this one song.
I hope you react to more BABYMETAL songs, some are fun like this one, others are deeper and more meaningful but all of them (they have about 50 now) are different. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will also mix in many other musical styles and genres - they will surprise you every time.
Some songs are good hard metal others lean towards their pop roots and they do everything in between.
The original trio were Su-metal, Yuimetal and Moametal. Su-metal is the lead vocalist (the whole idea was formed and developed around her and her vocal talents), Yuimetal and Moametal provided backing vocals and harmonies, but their main function is involving and leading the audience with the choreo, so they are a very important part of what makes BABYMETAL different and unique.
They started in 2010 as a sub-unit of the Idol group Sakura Gakuin. Su was 12, Yui and Moa were 11. In 2013 they separated from Sakura Gakuin to become an independent band in their own right.
Sadly Yuimetal left the band in October 2018 after a 12 month absence for undisclosed health reasons. Su and Moa chose to continue as a duo - in live shows since Yui left they have been supported by 3 dancers who would take turns to dance in the third spot - they were known as the Avengers, Riho, Kano and Momoko.
This video was filmed in December 2013 at the Legend 1997 concert - Su-metal was born in 1997, this concert was celebrating her 16th birthday (which was the day before). Yuimetal and Moametal are 18 months younger than Su and they were both 14.
As it was the official video the audio was dubbed on from the studio recording ... which is a shame as BABYMETAL are one of those rare bands who sound much better live - not least because you will get Su-metal's natural voice without all the over-processing and compression of the studio recordings - and she is an exceptional vocalist, but you also get the Kami Band, their backing band for live concerts, playing live.
Their backing band, the Kami Band, were phased in gradually from October 2012 playing festivals and encores in some shows. They became the full time backing band early in 2014.
If the musicians in a video (like they were in this video) are wearing skeleton suits that is not the Kami Band, that is the Babybones and they were miming the instruments to a backing track - they were there for show in the early days before BABYMETAL had the budget for a live band (no pretence was made otherwise, everybody knew what they were doing). The Kami Band are the ones in traditional white burial robes and white corpse face paint (more recently in black robes and now wearing masks ... nobody likes the masks).
The Kami Band are among Japan's very best session musicians and can play anything. They do swap out members now and then as they all have their own bands and projects, but they have had a hard core of about 6 or 7 who have played the vast majority of BABYMETAL's concerts.
For the 2019 and 2020 US and European tours the Kami Band of the West (American musicians from Galactic Empire on guitars and bass, Anthony Barone on drums) were introduced.
Generally if you hear growls or screams in a BABYMETAL song it will be on the backing track which includes any additional instruments (piano, synth etc and some harmonies) - everything else is always live.
Can I suggest the Legend 1997 live performance of 'Headbanger' (look on the abr metal channel for that video) for your next reaction. Same show as this, but the Kami Band are on stage for that one and the audio is all live.
Thank you for all of this information! That's cool! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 You are most welcome, I hope it helped a bit.
@@Grington300 Oh, YES! :)
Road of resistance next pls
Death metal fused with Kpop is a pretty accurate description. Except that the K in Kpop is Korea and they are Japanese. It's a fusion of Japanese Idol music and Metal. Japanese Idols are similar to Kpop. But better. It isn't just about music. Japanese Idols are supposed to be a good example for society. The exact opposite of American Idols.
You should listen "Papaya".. metal and rap
Dude, your reaction was funny, your faces in some parts are so funny
check out pa pa ya, i haven't listened to their brand new album that just dropped a few weeks ago
Every day we steer further and further away from Classical music
The fox god approves of this reaction.
Megitsune is a banger n bout the on,y song I like of theirs
やっぱK-POPは人気だもんね。
J-POPと見分けるのは難しいよね。
