I remember from an interview that they had that mashup of Jpop and Metal because they wanted metal to appeal to the average young girl or something like that. They said in that interview that it makes them smile when they see girls up front in the crowd and rocking out, copying their movements, and singing along. But there's not just Jpop really. In their discography, there's a lot of different styles incorporated into their music.
They HAVE to be experienced live. The video does them no justice. The pure energy that pours off stage is amazing. Seen them twice and each time is just incredible. If they come your way, make every effort to go. Won't disappoint.
Also, you need to keep in mind, Babymetal has been around for over 10 years. And this was one of the earliest performances and songs. They grew up and tried so many new styles, it's incredible. And the amount of collaborations! They are very well known, loved and supported by so many big names in metal music.
LOL Definitely a valid reaction to BABYMETAL! Think that's how a lot of us reacted when we first heard them. It's great to hear music / metal from other countries. Especially when their culture comes through!
Wait until you see ROAD OF RESISTANCE. It will be life changing. !! Please react soon!! Best version *BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)*
Hell yeah more Babymetal! 🤘🏻😄 This is one of the groups I’ve been waiting for you to react to. Glad you finally did! They’ve been around 10 years now (Su-Metal and Moa-Metal at least. Yui-Metal left in 2018 for health reasons also one of their guitarists Mikio Fujioka died that year). They played all over the world with Metallica, Rob Zombie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest, Korn, Lady Gaga and many others. They even headlined their own concert at Wembley Stadium in 2016. You must have heard of them before if you’re into heavy metal. At first people couldn’t take them seriously saying that they weren’t really metal but they eventually won many people over. I recommend checking out Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!, Megitsune, Karate, Road of Resistance and Shanti Shanti. Also their live version of BABYMETAL DEATH FROM LIVE ~ LEGEND 1999 & 1997. It gives me the chills watching it! 😄 If you love Babymetal then you have to check out all the female rock bands Japan has to offer! Band-Maid, Lovebites, Aldious, Mary’s Blood and Nemophila to name a few! These groups all play their own instruments and are amazingly talented.
YES, Band Maid! So excited to see they're coming to Philly later this year. And, let's not forget Unlucky Morpheus. Check out Quadratum doing Eruption on the violin. Mind blowing.
I’m sure someone said it, but this is the studio version played over a live performance that they used for the MV. They’re actually much better live than in studio
Welcome to the Foxhole 🦊🤘 Your face is priceless, dance 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 and heavy metal along with many more sub genres and rhythm that 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 band. They have their own band called Kami Band introduced later on that same show and after that Kami Band become regular at live performance. SuMetal (lead vocals) MoaMetal and YuiMetal (former member since 2018) on scream and dance roll started in 2010 when they had 11 and 12 years old. This was in December 2013 at SuMetal 16th Birthday and there was a big party there you haven't seen nothing yet. I would love more of your reaction to BabyMetal live performance, just beware of copyright blocked on official MV and live clips after 2014. You have songs like _Catch Me If You Can_ live at Budokan 2014 or Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at this same live performance at Legend 1997 at Makuhari Messe Japan when SuMetal is celebrating her birthday becoming a metal goddess queen and leaving her idol jpop form. More than 50+ songs will get you hooked with them, just wait for Kami Band, even more awesome. See you! 🦊🤘
Great reaction, liked it a lot. Here are some fun facts. 1. BabyMetal and Black Pink are the only two girl groups to end up in the top 10 on BillBoard's World Album chart 2. BabyMetal is the only Asian group to ever hit #1 on Billboards Top Rock Album chart 3. Lars Ulrich of Metallica took his wife to a BabyMetal concert so that in his words "she could see the awesomeness of BabyMetal" 4. Cory Taylor of Slipknot was asked who he listened to at home and he said "BabyMetal" 5. They performed Gimme Chocolate with The Red Hot Chili Peppers 6. They performed Gimme Chocolate with Dragon Force 7. Brien Welch of Korn got on stage to perform Gimme Chocolate with them. 8. They performed the Judas Priest classics Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest 9. Two of their songs GImme Chocolate and Road of Resistance have been named as the one of the most important metal songs of the last 10 years 10.The three girls, Su Metal, MoaMetal and YuiMetal were named in the list of Women Who Have Changed The Face of Metal In the Last 20 Years
Great list but Black Pink did have the advantage of being mainstream and Kpop which is huge there music is played on all mainstream platforms but even then still a great achievement by Black Pink 🤘🦊.
For sure you gotta check out Karate, Headbanger and Megitsune + Akatsuki (Karate check out the normal video, Headbanger from the Legend 1997 show and Megitsune + Akatsuki from Budokan live show)!
A friend sent me a link to Babymetal years ago. I was confused on first hearing, but have been listening to them since. Was surprised at how easy I was hooked.
Be prepared. The kitsunes are going to descend upon you with recommendations and knowledge. Read it all. Absorb it. There will be tests. Legend 1997 was a celebration of Su-metal's 16th birthday. Su-metal (Nakamoto Suzuka) is the lead singer. The other members are Moametal and Yuimetal. Don't worry about which is which yet. You'll figure it out as you progress. But so you know: 02:18 is Moa 02:21 is Yui 02:30 Yui is on the left, Moa is on the right. Gimme Chocolate deals with desires and inhibitions and consequences. They WANT chocolate, but they worry about their weight. Really. Du-metal has an early BABYMETAL translation blog. The opening of the song goes like: [[Give me chocolate!]] [[Give me!]] [[Give me!]] Atatata taata taatatata zukkyun. Watatata taata taatatata dokkyun. Zukkyun. Dokkyun. Zukkyun. Dokkyun. I won't, won't, won't, won't. Never. Never. Never. Check-it-out chocolate. Can I have a bit of chocolate? But my weight worries me a bit these days. However, chocolate! Can I have a bit of chocolate? But wait a while! Wait a while! Wait! Wait! Wait! So this is what is being discussed over those sick grinding chords.
Babymetal are my favourite band in the world, and i've been a fan of them since i was 12 so i can say this with confidence - they sound even better live. this was the studio recording of gimme chocolate! but if you do more videos i recommend finding live versions of songs - I recommend Megitsune, Headbanger, Karate and Distortion! all of their songs are absolutely fantastic though, and even though they turn 12 years old this year i don't remember a single time Su-Metal has messed up a line or failed her cue!!
This is just the tip of the iceberg, and this is the iceberg that sunk the titanic. Many video recommendations will come from that specific concert, and you have no idea how it ends. Don't rush, or you will fall! kitsune up! #notacult.
Such a dangerous first reaction. Even Su knows that this song can be divisive. You showed the appropriate reaction to Babymetal: Smiles and laughter. Have fun on your journey into the Foxhole.
This song was my first introduction to them to. For the first 2 minutes I was like "huh??" By the time the song was over I was already doing a deep dive on pirate bay looking for every live show I could find. As for recommendations, this is part of my play list for when I'm in the car: Headbanger Papaya Oh manjni Karate Megitsune (the last one is great for doing about 85 mph on the interstate)
Only advice I have with BabyMetal is to try and not to look into Su Metal's eyes. The next thing you know, you snap out of her spell, hours went by, you missed dinner, and the birds are singing and your socks are missing.
Great reaction! I'm sure you're gonna like your Babymetal journey a lot. And here are some recommendations for your following BM reactions (best Babymetal is live Babymetal): Headbanger (Live 2013 at 'Legend 1997'): ruclips.net/video/QEsOaMbNFww/видео.html Catch Me If You Can (Live 2014 at Budokan): ruclips.net/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/видео.html Ijime, Dame, Zettai (Live 2014 at Sonisphere, UK): ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html Karate (Live 2016 at Download, UK): ruclips.net/video/qXF94RGYEmw/видео.html Mischiefs of Metal Gods [instr.] + Rondo of Nightmare (Live 2014 at Budokan): ruclips.net/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/видео.html I guess it's enough to begin with, have fun! 🤘🦊
I hope your video dont get blocked, theyr company (Amuse inc) is so heavy with the blocks and strikes, i recommend you to dont react to videos of their official channel (live babymetal videos are the bests) or use a watermark
That's the official video of the song "Gimme Chocolate" as you could notice you can hear singing or screams of the public you should listen to the real live version, because this is the studio version look for the live version
Just wait til you watch them crucify the lead singer on stage ☺️ most metal thing I have ever seen. I fell in love first time I heard them on my channel as well
You finally found a fox hole. The hole is deeper than you think. If you fall into a hole, you won't be able to get out, but don't worry, because we're already in the depths of the hole and we're so happy lol. I looking forward to it.
I just discovered Babymetal a few days ago. And I must say that you and I shared the same facial expression when watching this! My first song was… Catch me if you can… or something like that
Great reaction ! Especially because you recognized some of the talent/qualities of Babymetal already. Most people just go WTF and leave it at that. "What made them come up with that idea ?" A producer in Japan who used to work with bands, because less interest in bands in Japan, was asked to work in the kids department and his instinct was to look for talent and he noticed one girl who had an amazing talent for singing and performing and he thought... maybe, just maybe I can try a metal project with her. It's a crazy idea, he wasn't sure it would work (she was 12 and the other 2 were 11) and the company they worked for didn't put any funding behind it, but they let him try it as part of a bigger project... thus Babymetal came to be. But that's just a very small part of the story of Babymetal... While this was a MV based on a live performance the audio is from the album. If you want a good live performance of Gimme Chocolate The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. But more important is to see them live for an other song, for example: BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance RSR Fes 2016「BS Fuji HD 最高音質」 That video title is from a festival so no editing/fix ups on the sound. You can also do the official live video, which probably does have some tweaks on the sound. It also gets more easily blocked (Japanese music industry has a different opinion than the west, reason being they still sell a lot more physical media). When it comes to performance the official one is more impressive. Only one group really tried to follow the success if Babymetal: Lady Baby. They failed in lots of different ways but their current follow up group is Baby Beard. And if you are not familiar with Japanese rock/metal or non-western/Asian in general then their are a whole bunch we can recommend as well.
Road of Resistance, Karate (MV), Pa Pa Ya, Headbanger (Live), and Death (Legend 1997) is pretty much the tour-de-force for Babymetal reaction vids. You'll see them do every type of metal you can imagine: Speed, Thrash, Death, Rap. Also, when you get a chance check out Ningen Isu Heartless Scat. And yes. Su-Metal's voice is amazing. Karate (MV) is probably the best example.
They toured with Rob Zombie and he got teased about it by fans and stood up for them girls. I would also recommend Band Maid, Iron Bunny and a band at one time called LadyBaby that has an Australian pro wrestler dressed as a “idol” doing death metal vocals and j-pop dance moves.
These girls are AWESOME. They've opened for Guns n Roses and Metalica. They played at Glastonbury and best of all they were asked to play at Donnington's Monsters of Rock festival and ALL the Metalheads were completely against them.... they smashed it and sold more merchandise in a single day than ANY band in the history of the festival.
This one is not live. However they sound even better live. If you check any future songs I recommend looking for live performances, there are plenty in youtube
Good evening. First of all welcome to the Babymetal universe. Currently, Babymetal is the most influential Japanese heavy metal group, capable of filling stadiums two nights in a row with more than 55,000 spectators at each concert. What you just saw and heard is simply a children's heavy metal song. The lead singer is just 16 years old (the day before) and the other two girls are 14 years old. Oh, and they're not a heavy metal group, they're a heavy metal idol group. That means they sing and dance. Forever. These girls started when they were 12 and 10 years old, when a sub-band called Babymetal was formed within a larger band called Sakura Gakuin. This group of idols (about 15 girls between 10 and 15 years old) essentially played jpop. However, one of the producers was a lover of heavy music and proposed, without even being clear, to mix jpop with heavy, so they created the subunit. The resulting genre was called Kawaii Metal and, against all odds (we all thought the first time this shouldn't work... but it does) it succeeded. Their first album called Babymetal is the album of a group of girls, aimed at girls between 10 and 15 years old. However, such was the success and its quality that it reached both the intended audience and the Japanese heavy community. And it was in 2014, already settled in Asia, that they made the leap to the West where they premiered at the Sonisphere festival in England (who said fear?) where they achieved worldwide recognition, although as usual many haters emerged. You have about 50 songs to discover their music. Some very childish, like this one, while others are more mature. But all of them, until the last one, are different and all metal.
You have to see more of them! They are totally amazing! So happy that ur checked them out. Maybe for later you can react to Pa Pa Ya. It’s such a banger damn ( ok all of their song tho ) headbanger is also a great one!
02:19 that look is priceless You said you're into metal music so I recommend you react to Rondo of Nightmare Live at Budokan. You won't be disappointed.
Hi and welcome to the wonderful Babymetal Galaxy. Great reaction. Babymetal is a japanese kawaii metal-band ”cute metal” and is heavy metal with J-pop aesthetics. The name is a pun to heavy metal Babymetal - Bebimetaru ベビメタル Heavy Metal - Hebimetaru ヘビメタル And is not about the girls age even though they started as preteens but is about giving a birth to a new genre Kawaii metal. The girls are Suzuka ”Su-metal” Nakamoto (born 20 Dec 1997) Moa ”Moametal” Kikuchi (born 4 July 1999) and Yui ”Yuimetal” Mizuno (born 20 June 1999) Yui left the BM 2018 due to undisclosed health issues. They started 2010 as a sub-unit to Sakura Gakuin (school-themed J-pop group for girls between 10-15) and became their own entity 2013. Key ”Koba-metal” Kobayashi got the idea when he saw a 10-year-old Suzuka on stage and heard her strong voice and saw her great stage presence and thought that her voice would not drown in heavy music. They have since then become one of the biggest japanese bands to succeed internationally and they have collaborated with Dragonforce, Corey Taylor and Bring Me The Horizon and singers like Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) and Joakim Brodén (Sabaton) are featuring on a couple of songs. Their big breakthrough overseas came 2014 at Sonisphere UK when they performed for 50000-60000 metalheads of which the majority hadn't even heard of them. They have nearly 50 songs of which not one of them is like the other. /yon-metal
🤘🦊🤘 Welcome to THE ONE. The FOXHOLE is deep, start at the beginning and work your way through. Generally, live performances are always better, their songs have a lot of crowd participation.
You're in for a ride. Check out Karate and Megitsune MVs and the live performances of Road of Resistance - Live in Japan and Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night.
I don't know if anyone has said it below, but this was a concert celebrating Su-Metal's (the lead singer) 16th birthday. The sound on this video is the studio version over footage of the concert, but their concerts are off the chart too. It is also a concert that featured one of their cutesiest songs (Gimme Chocolate) and Su-Metal being crucified onstage in the same show.
You'll be surprised how many girls in Japan dance with these girls I mean in a group they having a blast the two little ones were like 12 years old when they started they grow up doing this and their teenage years so did the singer ride along with them
The blank death stare of absolute confusion and then uncontrollable laughter pretty much sums up my first reaction to them too. Can't say I'm a fan but "are you not entertained"? =)
it's called babymetal...because they created a new style...kawaii metal....everyone smiles when they see YUI... she is the most adorable girl that exists in life
They are called Babymetal because this is a new genre of metal (according to the lore). The actual reason is that in Japanese, heavy metal and Babymetal rhyme, both sound and visually (ヘビーメタル = heavy metal, ベビーメタル). Can you see the difference? Welcome to the Foxhole.
Live at Spnisphere. 1st time me outside Japan. 1st Festival. 1st time UK. MASSIVE CROWN DYING TO HATE BUT LOVED THE. SU WAS 14 I THINK. 15 TOPS. WATCH AN Unhelpful Guide to BabyMetal.

Welcome to the Foxhole. #notacult
That time your face went: wait? what? It was perfect. Saw them at Wembley and they were fucking epic. (have seen Sabbath, Motorhead, Faith No More and Led Zep live for comparison)
Cool reaction! Gimme Choko is a nice starting point for a BABYMETAL journey but you ain't seen nothing yet. ;-) They're so diverse it'll blow your mind.
The grand daughters of Kawaii Metal.( Cute Metal ) Sue Metal is the Queen Vocalist of all time. They are in a class all by themselves including their band, The Kami Band. Untouchable.
This is from a live show, but they are not singing live and the band isn’t really playing. Early in their career, a lot of their “live” performances were like this. Later on in this same concert they brought out and actual live band and performed “Headbanger” and “BABYMETAL Death”. It is quite obvious that the band is actually playing and the lead is actually singing. While they use backing tracks in the concerts they’ve had over the past several years, these tracks are basically things like piano and harmonies in the background and growls. If you react to more BANYMETAL, I strongly urge you to listen to live concert pro shot stuff. You can’t appreciate BABYMETAL by listening to stuff like this version of “Gimme Chocolate”
The vocals are live but any time you see the skeleton suit "musicians" from the early days they are actors pretending to play instruments. They did that for budget reasons, once they had the money they always played with the "Kami Band", which are a loose group of incredible Japanese session musicians dressed in traditional funeral gowns and white face paint (think: The Ring) and later they also played with the "Western Kami Band" made up of Western metal musicians. Like others suggested, I highly recommend checking out Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of Metal intro to really see what the Kami Band is capable of, they are not some novelty joke or meme band.

Agreed, I love them in general, but live is something special. Experienced this song myself life, the crowd went nuts.
I remember seeing them live at download uk in 2016 for the first time and I fell in love with them ever since
I've seen them live in Orlando back in 2019. One of the best concerts I have ever been to
This didn't age well as he apparently had already done so 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also, you need to keep in mind, Babymetal has been around for over 10 years. And this was one of the earliest performances and songs. They grew up and tried so many new styles, it's incredible.

Oh thanks! I didn’t know there was two.

Finally the queen has made it into your channel.. I've been waiting for this reaction.

A friend sent me a link to Babymetal years ago. I was confused on first hearing, but have been listening to them since. Was surprised at how easy I was hooked.
Long time I haven't seen a very honest reaction for babymetal.
Yes it was good to see his genuine reaction 😁 🤘🦊 there are a few false one's about unfortunately ☹
Be prepared. The kitsunes are going to descend upon you with recommendations and knowledge. Read it all. Absorb it. There will be tests.
Legend 1997 was a celebration of Su-metal's 16th birthday. Su-metal (Nakamoto Suzuka) is the lead singer. The other members are Moametal and Yuimetal. Don't worry about which is which yet. You'll figure it out as you progress. But so you know:
02:18 is Moa
02:21 is Yui
02:30 Yui is on the left, Moa is on the right.
Gimme Chocolate deals with desires and inhibitions and consequences. They WANT chocolate, but they worry about their weight. Really. Du-metal has an early BABYMETAL translation blog. The opening of the song goes like:
[[Give me chocolate!]]
[[Give me!]]
[[Give me!]]
Atatata taata taatatata zukkyun.
Watatata taata taatatata dokkyun.
Zukkyun. Dokkyun. Zukkyun. Dokkyun.
I won't, won't, won't, won't. Never. Never. Never.
Check-it-out chocolate. Can I have a bit of chocolate?
But my weight worries me a bit these days.
However, chocolate! Can I have a bit of chocolate?
But wait a while! Wait a while! Wait! Wait! Wait!

I believe once on the asia tour few years ago after a long tour her voice cracked very slightly in one place. But apart from that I am not aware.

You showed the appropriate reaction to Babymetal: Smiles and laughter.
Have fun on your journey into the Foxhole.
I can't wait to hear more!! ❤️
BEST reaction I've ever seen.
Incredulous!
Ah appreciate you!
Oh man, your mind is going to be sooo blown.
Kitsune Dao!
Oh, and they love their food songs ... check out Pa Pa Ya (papaya) when you get a chance ... big twist!
I love watching people see this for the first time. I was the same way lol
This song was my first introduction to them to. For the first 2 minutes I was like "huh??" By the time the song was over I was already doing a deep dive on pirate bay looking for every live show I could find. As for recommendations, this is part of my play list for when I'm in the car:
Headbanger
Papaya
Oh manjni
Karate
Megitsune
(the last one is great for doing about 85 mph on the interstate)
FYI: BABYMETAL does not relate directly to the age of the girls. It's a reference to a new kind of metal music: Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal).
And/or "newborn metal" in reference to their unique and refreshing approach on metal.
And, mostly that Heavy in Japanese (Hēbii) uses the same characters to write as Baby (Bēbii).
So, it's in fact, a pun.
Edit: just some grammar.
Good reaction recommend to watch Babymetal - Headbanger Live legend 1997 Apocalypse
Live is even better.
That's the exact same reaction just about everyone has their first time...🤘👽🤘
Welcome to the Fox hole! 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 I recommend the mv for "Megitsune" or "Karate" next
Welcome to the foxhole. Greatest live act in the world. 50+ songs to go through.. have fun!!
I love seeing everyone get heckin' bamboozled by Babymetal 😂
Only advice I have with BabyMetal is to try and not to look into Su Metal's eyes.
The next thing you know, you snap out of her spell, hours went by, you missed dinner, and the birds are singing and your socks are missing.
But you get to keep your soul. The real warning is to not stare at Yui for too long. She WILL steal your soul.
I want that experience but i did get a smile of Moa and walked around for weeks with a smiling like a clown
🤘🤡

I guess it's enough to begin with, have fun! 🤘🦊
I hope your video dont get blocked, theyr company (Amuse inc) is so heavy with the blocks and strikes, i recommend you to dont react to videos of their official channel (live babymetal videos are the bests) or use a watermark
We got him now. heh heh heh
I reacted pretty much the same way, the first time I saw them🤘 😂🤘
That's the official video of the song "Gimme Chocolate" as you could notice you can hear singing or screams of the public
you should listen to the real live version, because this is the studio version look for the live version
Ah okay my friend! I will 🤘
i was so confused when i first heard babymetal but i love them
Just wait til you watch them crucify the lead singer on stage ☺️ most metal thing I have ever seen. I fell in love first time I heard them on my channel as well
I *love* BABYMETAL! I knew you weren't ready.... ;-) Welcome to J-Metal.
You finally found a fox hole.
The hole is deeper than you think.
If you fall into a hole, you won't be able to get out, but don't worry, because we're already in the depths of the hole and we're so happy lol.
I looking forward to it.
They've worked with some of the biggest names in Metal, they even did a song with Rob Halford from Judas Priest
I just discovered Babymetal a few days ago. And I must say that you and I shared the same facial expression when watching this!
My first song was… Catch me if you can… or something like that
Here’s a more recent concert in HD and it’s epic. Metal Galaxy Day 2 ruclips.net/video/2HsRUZzjZkQ/видео.html
Great reaction ! Especially because you recognized some of the talent/qualities of Babymetal already. Most people just go WTF and leave it at that.
"What made them come up with that idea ?"
A producer in Japan who used to work with bands, because less interest in bands in Japan, was asked to work in the kids department and his instinct was to look for talent and he noticed one girl who had an amazing talent for singing and performing and he thought... maybe, just maybe I can try a metal project with her. It's a crazy idea, he wasn't sure it would work (she was 12 and the other 2 were 11) and the company they worked for didn't put any funding behind it, but they let him try it as part of a bigger project... thus Babymetal came to be. But that's just a very small part of the story of Babymetal...
While this was a MV based on a live performance the audio is from the album. If you want a good live performance of Gimme Chocolate The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
But more important is to see them live for an other song, for example: BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance RSR Fes 2016「BS Fuji HD 最高音質」
That video title is from a festival so no editing/fix ups on the sound. You can also do the official live video, which probably does have some tweaks on the sound. It also gets more easily blocked (Japanese music industry has a different opinion than the west, reason being they still sell a lot more physical media). When it comes to performance the official one is more impressive.
Only one group really tried to follow the success if Babymetal: Lady Baby. They failed in lots of different ways but their current follow up group is Baby Beard.
And if you are not familiar with Japanese rock/metal or non-western/Asian in general then their are a whole bunch we can recommend as well.
Nice! I really like their song Karate
My first time seeing Babymetal was their first performance on American TV on David Letterman
Road of Resistance, Karate (MV), Pa Pa Ya, Headbanger (Live), and Death (Legend 1997) is pretty much the tour-de-force for Babymetal reaction vids. You'll see them do every type of metal you can imagine: Speed, Thrash, Death, Rap. Also, when you get a chance check out Ningen Isu Heartless Scat. And yes. Su-Metal's voice is amazing. Karate (MV) is probably the best example.
They toured with Rob Zombie and he got teased about it by fans and stood up for them girls. I would also recommend Band Maid, Iron Bunny and a band at one time called LadyBaby that has an Australian pro wrestler dressed as a “idol” doing death metal vocals and j-pop dance moves.
Apparently to get fit they train for live concerts by running on a treadmill and singing through all the songs of their concert
Check out their song megitsune!!!!! One of my favorite songs of theirs. I saw them live twice and they put on an amazing show 🤘
Your going to get a load of comments for this amazing group !!
I love seeing first time baby metal reactions because faces go from 2:31 to 6:06 within a couple minutes
My favorite song by them is Headbanger 🥰
Ahhh, Babymetal...your musical world is about to change! Great reaction, and you have much to experience, Welcome to the Foxhole.
Great reaction man i love it when babymetal makes someone smile :D
❤️❤️
These girls are AWESOME. They've opened for Guns n Roses and Metalica. They played at Glastonbury and best of all they were asked to play at Donnington's Monsters of Rock festival and ALL the Metalheads were completely against them.... they smashed it and sold more merchandise in a single day than ANY band in the history of the festival.
welcome to the One (their fanbase name)!! these girls grew into truly bad ass performers and rock women! they are so, so fun
Wonderful reaction! See you in the mosh'sh pit.
This one is not live. However they sound even better live. If you check any future songs I recommend looking for live performances, there are plenty in youtube
I agree that Babymetal is best served live but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss some of their music videos - many of them are real works of art. 🦊🤘
This is Live, except the back band is pre-recorded. Singing is live and at a live concert.
I got to see Babymetal in Dallas, TX House of Blues a few years ago. Absolutely amazing.
Good evening. First of all welcome to the Babymetal universe. Currently, Babymetal is the most influential Japanese heavy metal group, capable of filling stadiums two nights in a row with more than 55,000 spectators at each concert. What you just saw and heard is simply a children's heavy metal song. The lead singer is just 16 years old (the day before) and the other two girls are 14 years old. Oh, and they're not a heavy metal group, they're a heavy metal idol group. That means they sing and dance. Forever. These girls started when they were 12 and 10 years old, when a sub-band called Babymetal was formed within a larger band called Sakura Gakuin. This group of idols (about 15 girls between 10 and 15 years old) essentially played jpop. However, one of the producers was a lover of heavy music and proposed, without even being clear, to mix jpop with heavy, so they created the subunit. The resulting genre was called Kawaii Metal and, against all odds (we all thought the first time this shouldn't work... but it does) it succeeded. Their first album called Babymetal is the album of a group of girls, aimed at girls between 10 and 15 years old. However, such was the success and its quality that it reached both the intended audience and the Japanese heavy community. And it was in 2014, already settled in Asia, that they made the leap to the West where they premiered at the Sonisphere festival in England (who said fear?) where they achieved worldwide recognition, although as usual many haters emerged. You have about 50 songs to discover their music. Some very childish, like this one, while others are more mature. But all of them, until the last one, are different and all metal.
You have to see more of them! They are totally amazing! So happy that ur checked them out. Maybe for later you can react to Pa Pa Ya. It’s such a banger damn ( ok all of their song tho ) headbanger is also a great one!
The Kami band is outstanding. Every song. You've now fallen down the rabbit (or fox) hole of the Kami Band 👍🏻
02:19 that look is priceless
You said you're into metal music so I recommend you react to Rondo of Nightmare Live at Budokan. You won't be disappointed.
Please! More reactions to BABYMETAL! Every son is DIFFERENT, Literally
Saw them in concert here in Chicago back in 2019…it was an amazing time!
Hi and welcome to the wonderful Babymetal Galaxy. Great reaction.
Babymetal is a japanese kawaii metal-band ”cute metal” and is heavy metal with J-pop aesthetics.
The name is a pun to heavy metal
Babymetal - Bebimetaru ベビメタル
Heavy Metal - Hebimetaru ヘビメタル
And is not about the girls age even though they started as preteens but is about giving a birth to a new genre Kawaii metal.
The girls are Suzuka ”Su-metal” Nakamoto (born 20 Dec 1997)
Moa ”Moametal” Kikuchi (born 4 July 1999) and
Yui ”Yuimetal” Mizuno (born 20 June 1999) Yui left the BM 2018 due to undisclosed health issues.
They started 2010 as a sub-unit to Sakura Gakuin (school-themed J-pop group for girls between 10-15)
and became their own entity 2013.
Key ”Koba-metal” Kobayashi got the idea when he saw a 10-year-old Suzuka on stage and heard her strong voice and saw her great stage presence and thought that her voice would not drown in heavy music.
They have since then become one of the biggest japanese bands to succeed internationally and they have collaborated with Dragonforce, Corey Taylor and Bring Me The Horizon and singers like Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy) and Joakim Brodén (Sabaton) are featuring on a couple of songs.
Their big breakthrough overseas came 2014 at Sonisphere UK when they performed for 50000-60000 metalheads of which the majority hadn't even heard of them.
They have nearly 50 songs of which not one of them is like the other.

Welcome to THE ONE.
The FOXHOLE is deep, start at the beginning and work your way through.
Generally, live performances are always better, their songs have a lot of crowd participation.
You're in for a ride. Check out Karate and Megitsune MVs and the live performances of Road of Resistance - Live in Japan and Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night.
I don't know if anyone has said it below, but this was a concert celebrating Su-Metal's (the lead singer) 16th birthday. The sound on this video is the studio version over footage of the concert, but their concerts are off the chart too. It is also a concert that featured one of their cutesiest songs (Gimme Chocolate) and Su-Metal being crucified onstage in the same show.
first time i see that video, i think your face and mine for the first 30 seconds were basically the same
A passing fox left its footprints. 🐾🐾🐾🦊 See You
You'll be surprised how many girls in Japan dance with these girls I mean in a group they having a blast the two little ones were like 12 years old when they started they grow up doing this and their teenage years so did the singer ride along with them
The blank death stare of absolute confusion and then uncontrollable laughter pretty much sums up my first reaction to them too. Can't say I'm a fan but "are you not entertained"? =)
it's called babymetal...because they created a new style...kawaii metal....everyone smiles when they see YUI... she is the most adorable girl that exists in life
They are called Babymetal because this is a new genre of metal (according to the lore). The actual reason is that in Japanese, heavy metal and Babymetal rhyme, both sound and visually (ヘビーメタル = heavy metal, ベビーメタル). Can you see the difference? Welcome to the Foxhole.
Live at Spnisphere. 1st time me outside Japan. 1st Festival. 1st time UK. MASSIVE CROWN DYING TO HATE BUT LOVED THE. SU WAS 14 I THINK. 15 TOPS. WATCH AN Unhelpful Guide to BabyMetal.
Su voice is better live. Never seen a little girl holding a crowd like she does. Best death stare ever. Truely a queen
WHAT??!! The first words that always come out when you first see baby metal 😄
This was the first song I listened to also and was hooked

The trifecta for Japanese Rock is Band-Maid, Lovebites and Nemophila
I am officially addicted to watching your babymetal reaction videos. we need to see all of their songs lol. Good work and keep these up please..
" Live BABYMETAL is Life "
Thank you for showing me this group, now I have to find more of their songs. You have a great day and Stay Safe.
That time your face went: wait? what? It was perfect. Saw them at Wembley and they were fucking epic. (have seen Sabbath, Motorhead, Faith No More and Led Zep live for comparison)
The statue in the background is for an homage to Metallica's "...And Justice For All".🤘🦊🤘
I 1st came across them in 2019. Been in love ever since 😄
Cool reaction! Gimme Choko is a nice starting point for a BABYMETAL journey but you ain't seen nothing yet. ;-) They're so diverse it'll blow your mind.
The visual and the audio just do not line up in a normal metal mind, love it👍👍👍👍
his music is really good
Yup. That was my first reaction, too. Subscribed and watching for your next venture. Headbanger live Legend of 1997.
You should really watch Headbanger, my first and most favorite song of babymetal
I heard this song the first time tonight. It is both the most awesome and the most Japan thing i've ever seen
The grand daughters of Kawaii Metal.( Cute Metal )
Sue Metal is the Queen Vocalist of all time.
They are in a class all by themselves including their band, The Kami Band.
Untouchable.
This is from a live show, but they are not singing live and the band isn’t really playing. Early in their career, a lot of their “live” performances were like this.
Later on in this same concert they brought out and actual live band and performed “Headbanger” and “BABYMETAL Death”. It is quite obvious that the band is actually playing and the lead is actually singing.
While they use backing tracks in the concerts they’ve had over the past several years, these tracks are basically things like piano and harmonies in the background and growls.
If you react to more BANYMETAL, I strongly urge you to listen to live concert pro shot stuff. You can’t appreciate BABYMETAL by listening to stuff like this version of “Gimme Chocolate”
They are singing live at the show, but the MV has the studio audio. You can find videos even on RUclips: Babymetal Gimme Chocolate Legend 1997
@@autohmae beat to saying that 🤘🦊🤘😁
The vocals are live but any time you see the skeleton suit "musicians" from the early days they are actors pretending to play instruments. They did that for budget reasons, once they had the money they always played with the "Kami Band", which are a loose group of incredible Japanese session musicians dressed in traditional funeral gowns and white face paint (think: The Ring) and later they also played with the "Western Kami Band" made up of Western metal musicians.
Like others suggested, I highly recommend checking out Rondo of Nightmare with the Mischief of Metal intro to really see what the Kami Band is capable of, they are not some novelty joke or meme band.
