Your exploration down the Fox Hole has been the best I've seen in a long time. The thrill of discovery you are experiencing reminds us of our own first journey with Babymetal. Welcome and thank you. 🤘🦊🎶
yesss I'm glad you saw the lyrics in the last performance, this song has an incredible meaning and when Su says "it's okay, I'll protect you" it's very comforting
Great reaction again and thanks for the mention. Knowing the meaning of the song may make the official video make a bit more sense. The lyrics are powerful and very well written. This song dates back to 2011 and at that time metal was effectively being bullied out of existence in Japan with hip hop and pop dominating and monopolising nearly all TV and radio air time, rock and metal had a constantly shrinking audience. The hairy guy represented the spirit of metal, so he was being bullied, having his guitar smashed, his hair cut etc by the guys in the hip hop bling .... and then he saw the writing on the rock "stand up metal" and was eventually revealed as one of the Babybones guitarists. Yui and Moa were playing those guitars, as you said, every bit as much as the Babybones guys with their gloves on. They played 5 songs at Sonisphere, IDZ was the last. There were over 50,000 UK metalheads there and probably less than 5% of the people there had any clue who BABYMETAL were before they started and even less of them could understand Japanese. They were there for those other bands you mentioned (who were all playing that weekend). Iron Maiden were headlining this stage later that day. Before they went on stage the girls could not see the crowd from back stage and they were worrying what they should do if nobody was there to see them. They walked on to a sea of puzzled faces. Su is reported as having thought to herself "This will be fun. Let's knock it out of the park!" They gained a lot of fans that day (if you did watch again did you hear the crowd shouting "We want more" and "One more song" at the end?) and their merch outsold all the big name bands playing that weekend. The PIA Arena video missed the intro that was played before the song and Su's "La la la" at the start - both things did happen. The first time they had a wall of death in the crowd it was a dark theatre and Su wondered where everybody had gone, all she could see was the empty space - and then they started the song and the crowd suddenly reappeared.😁
After the lyric reaction for the PIA arena, the MV made a lot more sense. I loved it. The Sonisphere performance was incredible on its own, and absolutely mind-blowing after you add in the context of the situation.
My brother, PIA Arena was Clear Night, this was the BMD/IDZ transition, there was no intro video. They went from one song straight into the other. We both watch too much BABYMETAL, it all blends together I am sure, but unless they specifically cut that for the blu-ray and wowow performances, and it was ONLY the live attendees that saw it, I am pretty sure they went from outro feedback from BMD straight into IDZ. You can even see Momo and Moa in position for it at the end of BMD.
@@legitdeadly9162 Thanks, I'll have to watch the BluRay again, I don't remember them going straight into IDZ like that - but as you said, watch enough and it does get confusing what happened when ...
it was the last song of five. this was their first overseas performance at a festival. they had done 1 before this out of Japan. these 5 songs changed Babymetal forever. they were added to the main stage couple months before. they sold more merch than Metallica and other big name bands. they were the talk of the festival. when you get around and watch some history of Babymetal you will understand how this performance stood out. to think Su was 16 and the other two just turned 15 years old. Su showing how to control 55,000 people that didn't know who Babymetal was. but the best version of this song is in 2019 i think where they had the 3 avengers plus had both bands, the east and the west, play together. how you have 5 girls, 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 4 guitarists, and make it all work together.
At Sonisphere 2014, is that they got a 30 minute set, but Kobametal wanted them to do a sound check, which is not normally done at festivals (which is why often the sound sucks). Sonisphere said they could do a sound check but it would come out of their time. They traded for 5 minutes of a sound check. Of course, the sound you hear in the video is cleaned up beyond that, but people who were at the festival said they sounded fantastic. Also this was early afternoon, which is normally a very thin on the audience side, people still waking up in their tents. There were some audience interviews about how they were dragged out of their tents by their friends who said "you have to see this, Japanese Girls in tutus!". Babymetal couldn't see the audience behind that stage, they only saw an empty piece of grass.
I have received tons of comments since I started this a few days ago. And maybe 2 out of 1,000 have been disrespectful. The One really stands up for one another and I am all about it. This song elicited a reaction from me I wasn't prepared for. I was bullied when I was in my early teens pretty badly and this song hit me hard. I used to have such little confidence in myself, but it's people like Su was singing about in this song that make all the difference. I strive to be that person for anyone that needs it.
@@ShadeReactsLive I have an idea who that rude person is, it seems that the love that BABYMETL spreads is not reaching him. I have been happy for the past few days thanks to your reaction videos. I appreciate it.
💀 ⚡ 💕 🍑 / 🚫 Su was still 14 when the music video was released. Yui and Moa were both 13. Those eight burnt guitars were displayed in CD shops for the release event for 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai', and then presented to winning fans. They're among the most prized BABYMETAL collectables. There is an alternate "Nemesis" version of this song, found on limited editions of the single. It features guitars recorded by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott. Yes, Yui and Moa were playing air guitar with real guitars. I like to say that they're playing just as well as the guys in the skeleton suits. : ) Moa can actually play the guitar, but she's admitted she doesn't practice as much as she should. My favorite part of 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' is still the part where Su-metal threatens to kick the other members in the head if they don't stop bullying each other. : )
Nice reaction! I believe this version of Sonisphere doesn't have many views because there is a video on its official channel. The lyrics of this song hit home, the message it conveys is very important. My favorite version of this song after Sonisphere's is the one from Tokyo Dome.
So enjoyable getting to follow along and vicariously relive my joy at seeing these performances for the first time, thank you! Quick comment after the Sonisphere reaction, this is one of three times across hundreds of performances that I've seen Su-Metal even slightly break character from emotion, when she waves to the crowd at the end her joy is just breaking through. The two others are first time she saw the arena light up for a performance of "the one" in Japan, and when she yells "bring them on" in Japanese during the closing performance of "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" where they were getting negative press from some publications calling them a fad. "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" is one of the single best individual performances I've ever seen.
Don't apologize for the logo. It's the best one I've seen because pretty much every reactor has to have one....yours says exactly what we all think and it's really not that bad to see through it. I think most of everyone that's here for your reactions to BabyMetal know these videos off by heart anyways Lol Been enjoying them so far...I think even better with the 3 versions. Hard to believe these 3 little girls have grown to 3 beautiful women I think for a lot of us, it's been like watching our own little girls growing up. Anyways...good that you came along to focus on them because the fanbase is massive and (welcome to it btw) I don't think we'll ever get tired of listening to them as well as watching the expressions of the new guy in town that's just hearing them for the first time Great reactions and following
i just have a weird annoyance by it. On one hand, I understand that creators deserve to be paid for their content. But, on the other hand, I do not seek any monetization for my content on here. This is just for fun. So why block my video? If anything these reaction video promote and bring more eyes to the content, right? idk.. just my ranting thoughts on it.
This song is not common on their setlists outside Japan. Here in Spain we were so lucky and they performed IDZ in Barcelona and Madrid celebrating the end of the tour and it was magical. Now that you know how they end their shows... maybe it's time for "BABYMETAL Death" the intro song for every concert. Legend 1997 is mandatory and you can go for "Clear Night" or "Legend MM" version for an more recent performance. As always, waiting for more!
Sonisphere is basiclly the launching point for BABYMETAL. Su has spoken about that show as the day she felt they were accepted by the Metal crowd! Now they headline festivals! And fill stadiums! They tend to end set lists on this song, Road of Resistance or Arkadia. But they do end sets on other songs too!
Hey, I’m a 62-year-old rocker from Atlanta who grew up, listening to southern rock and a lot of other different stuff, and in the past four years, BabyMetal has become my favorite band! I saw them live in Atlanta last year, and it was at the top of my bucket list! In this video check out at the end when Sue gets finished saying we are a BabyMet and it’s history! just search up and you’ll find one of many I know there’s a recent one that’s really good!
Fantastic reaction once again. The Sonisphere concert always gets to me. The courage, personality and professionalism of these little giant ladies is unmatched. The determination on Queen Su's face at he beginning of the song, claiming her rightful throne, the little fluffy super kawaii tomato princess Yui Mizuno up on that platform facing a horde of fierce British metalheads, the Kami Band really killing it, their happy faces at the end.... it's all amazing. And then the evolution, growth, maturity in the PIA Arena. And after a whole non-stop show, they still run the huge stage side to side, jumping, chanting, full of energy and love for their fans. These girls are made of a different material. I read below you are doing Road of Resistance Live in Japan next, I can't wait for it, kitsunes up!!
They got main stage after gimme choc was huge. And noone knew them when they came on when they left everyone loved them They also sold the most merchandise that day
Another Babymetal's gem is the commentary by the girls of the first few MVs. They did them for Doki Doki Morning, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger, Iine! and Megitsune. It is extra cute and quite informative. 🦊🤘
Also because she did a "Tomato-kun" impression a few times when she was in Sakura Gakuin, where she would answer questions as a tomato boy. But, yes, that's because of her love of tomatoes.
Great reaction! One great thing about not knowing the lyrics: You get to fall in love with the song all over again after learning the amazing lyrics! And Babymetal knows how to touch your musical soul! The Sonisphere video doesn’t have many views, because Babymetal has an official version of this exact video on their channel with 16M views! Their producer, Kobametal took Babymetal to see Metallica in Japan in their very early years. The girls truly fell in love with the metal genre then, and aspired to perform and capture the crowd like Metallica did. So, I’m sure they got to see what a Mosh Pit looked like before hand 😂. Also, Sonisphere was truly a big deal for Babymetal. Their first actual western metal fest. They won over the majority of the 50K+ crowd. Iron Maiden was the headliner that day, with Prodigy the day before, and Metallica the day after. As you saw the lyrics, this song is an anti-bullying song. In the MV, the metalhead is being bullied by the guys in “blinged” out chains, representing J-pop industry “bullying” the metal scene in Japan, and Babymetal saves the day. Babymetal’s lore is all about them being summoned by the Fox God to infiltrate the Idol industry by fusing J-pop and metal, to “destroy” them from within 😂. The Pia Arena MM performance was Kami Band West, so you got to see both of Babymetal’s bands as well! 🤘🦊
(Moa can play guitar, she does it at least once) Bullying, stop it, never ( or that's the meaning) Lyrics short short version: Stop bullying, we all do it sometimes, we see it and do nothing, stop bullying. Babymetal mosh'sh pit is safe, no throwing people around, all fun. (different from sonisphere "normal mosh pit). Lyrics/captions always a good idea if they have them ( early ones usually not), especially this song, but every song has meaning, dance reflects it always. (There were accidents early on by Moa, Yui, Su. Yui fell off the stage, song ended with just Su and Moa; Moa hurt her leg/knee but finished the song trying to smile but you could tell she was in pain; Su slipped and almost fell but caught herself- Things have been safer since then.)
yeah these 2 are must watch before the guide ( death and ror). And for the guide there alot of good one but my fav is the one that came out ( april 1st 2024) its the most recent one 🦊
loved the reaction as a new fan myself, i just discovered them a couple months ago and i'm really mad at myself about that, i think its time you watch a guide. there are a couple great ones out there. the lonest one is probably the most up to date. its like a hour long or so. their origin story is very fascinating. it will contain spoilers about some mandatory videos you NEED to react to but it also answers some questions you have
It's settled. You're ONE of us. I really like the way you are doing these reactions. Not just doing one version, but ALL versions. Get it all out of the way in one shot. Doing it with lyrics at the end to get a proper reaction. This song used to be the ender in the old days. Now it's Road Of Resistance. But I think since this was a 2 day concert, they did one show ender for one, and the other for the second show. Time to do the guide!!😅
Sonisphere 2014 is my all time favourite peformance by them. Instant classic. Next up Babymetal Death legend 1997(complete) before watching the guide 🔥🦊🔥
Pia Arena is my favorite version. The meaning of this song was perfect for the occasion! 🔥 And I'm super excited for your reaction to "The Not So Extensive Guide"!
Great review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, Next “Karate Download uk 2016” deffo! Then “road of resistance live in Japan official” and then maybe you will be ready for “Black Babymetal “Sis Anger” 🤔👍🏼
nice reaction Shade-Metal, I want to recommend another performance of IDZ that you might find to be epic and that is from the Legend Metal Galaxy Day 2, where all three avengers and both East and West Kami bands join together for the ultimate battle against bullying. As for Karate, it also has several iconic moments for example: at Download 2016, the APMA Awards show, before Rob Halford joins them on stage for a couple of Judas Priest classics, Download 2018, Budokan 2021, PIA Arena Black Night or better yet Clear Night, with a special appearance by the mysterious Metalverse group. And finally the Guide, you seem to be already in the right mindset to become a devoted fan, so I will wager that the guide will convince you that BABYMETAL is your new favorite band...lol
Another great triple bill . That Sonisphere performance always brings a lump to my throat, so proud of what they achieved . British metal crowds are notorious they threw bottles of urine at Guns and Roses for displeasing them, and the girls went on stage knowing how hostile this crowd could be . 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
18:07 their were once explaining that at first metal was scary for them (their first look). They trained for a some time (years) before first show so, probably they knew what to expect. Saw some videos etc. And even if not, they from the beginning are very professional so i guess they would manage it ok. Nowdays looks like they really enjoy all that metal energy.
Well....3rd comment and only because something else comes up with every video. lol Now that you're seeing the lyrics and the meaning behind the song, you'll find that pretty much all their songs will have some kind of message that they're sending in it. Also, the effects of their messages and sometimes just the music alone will send you on an emotional rollercoaster so....i recommend you put your seatbelt on and keep all your limbs inside the ride at all times because.....even if you don't understand whats being said, you'll feel it in the music.
Fun reaction as always! Ijime, Dame, Zettai is their 4th ever release and one of their classic. This song usually used as the finale but not exclusively. Yui was called tomato princess because she loved tomatoes and love eating it raw. Momo was called peach because the word peach in Japanese is 'momo'. There's a number of nickname to these girls, some of them are from their lore like, Angel of Dance (Yui), and Angel of Love (Moa). Can't wait for the next one! 🦊🦊🦊
I shall be known from now on as the Whiskey Prince hahah. I loved the Sonisphere ending and sign off. Hearing the crowd yell Babymetal gave me goosebumps.
In a 2013 interview, right after the release of Megitsune (their first independent single), Su-metal was asked about fans moshing in front of the stage. She replied "It looks tough and I hope everyone is OK."
@ShadeReactsLive , the interviewer is a well-known and popular radio host who focuses a lot on the Idol world. 15-year old Su- is totally adorable. ruclips.net/video/91miSpVBYO8/видео.html
Yui's tutu was torn because her pointy bracelet was stuck/hook to it just before the performance and couldn't get it off in time. So she just torn it off like what you see in the video. This is a remastered version of the original video on their YT page which has 16M views.
The tomato thing is because Yui said during an interview she loves eating tomatoes, supplemented by Suzuka saying “Yui is very good at eating raw tomatoes” Also whenever you have the chance, go back to the Sonisphere performance but paying attention to the Kami Band members, and you’ll notice how happy they look when they realized how the crowd was accepting the girls.
The girls were TERRIFIED. They kindof explicitely make fun of traditional metal, they're very tongue in cheek about a genre that metalheads take very seriously. They'd been told that the most rowdy, surley audience anywhere is a UK metal festival crowd and they were warned to watch out for thrown bottles (possibly not only full of water). From behind the stage, the band couldn't see the crowd and didn't think there were more than a few hundred people until they actually walked out that they saw the 50-60k people. Su still talks about this show pretty regularly in interviews. The response they got here gave them a huge boost of confidence towards beilieving that they could be an international sucess. It could be argued that this show is where they really became a metal band in their own minds.
The Kami Band were introduced in October 2012 at 'Legend I' with a two song encore of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' and 'Ijime Dame Zettai'. The last Babybones appearance was in February 2014. Folks are often surprised how long the Babybones and the live Kami Band overlapped.
In sonisphere, that's a real kami band and they are playing live, every each member of kami band (japanese) is high class musician in japan Drummer - Hideki Aoyama Bassist - BOH Guitarist Left - Mikio Fujioka Guitarist right - leda Cygnus Not in the show: Pink Guitar - Takayoshi Ohmura Red Guitar - ISAO Kami band east(japan) and west (european and american)has a similar just look at the instrument😊
That IDZ Sonisphere video is not that users content. That is an official BABYMETAL video reuploaded on their channel. The real video has 16M views ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html Also PIA arena IDZ started suddenly for a reason, a different song was the intro, a song that had returned after six long years, to herald the return of the full trio (Momo's first performance as a member). I wont spoil what that was, but it had huge meaning for the fans. This moment was the official return of the New BABYMETAL, an encore to launch the future. IDZ is one of two (actually three) show closers. Ever since Road of Resistance came out, it has been their primary show closer, with IDZ closing some special shows in encore as it is not performed very often anymore otherwise. Arkadia is the third, but that is an extremely rare song to ever be on a set, and is usually part of a two-day legend show where they avoid repeating songs. For perspective, in 2023/24 RoR was performed 144 times, most of which were show closers, IDZ 17 times (Performed in Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia, and added as a second encore for the final two shows of the Europe and US tours), and Arkadia was performed only once.
I was hoping to avoid copyright issues, and using BM Official content is almost a guarantee global ban unfortunately. the video I used seemed to have incredible quality though!!
I'm still watching the videos and the sonisphere one has a bit of a story to it and if theres been any things I've made mistakes on, i know I'll be corrected. This was their first overseas concert and their stage basically was beside the hotdog stand because they were virtually unknown still in the metal scene. Being a metal concert and most likely all maiden fans, they're known to be the biggest and harshest critics so you can imagine the nervousness BM was experiencing. The day was getting worse as far as weather and no....wasnt pikachu...that was rain gear you saw. Anyway, a few bands left because of the weather but....and known to this day....guess who never left and has never missed any of their shows....BabyMetal. I'm not exactly sure on this but they ended up being moved to the main stage where their destiny was finalized by these bad ass critics..... They were more than accepted, The whole crowd wanted them back for more. And the rest is history.
You should have also watched the versions of these early videos that had Babymetal commentary where they talk over the music about the filming. This is one link to IDZ commentary ruclips.net/video/Zht_zmi5sck/видео.html
20:52 people call Yuimetal as Tomato 🍅 or Tomato Princess because she likes tomatoes she even eats them raw; also, she had a fictional persona called Tomato-kun where she speaks as a boy, really funny. 21:02 Momo does mean peach 🍑 in japanese but that's not her name or what it means, it's just sounds the same and everyone (even her family and close friends for what I've known) use it as a pun. Peach in japanese is written 桃 while her name is 百々子; same pronunciation, different writing and meaning, but a very sweet and innocent pun.
The MV has lore in it. Bling Guy represents Idol/pop genre who bullies and suppress all other genres. The Fox God sent 3 idol princesses to use metal to rebel. Nice pronunciation and IDZ translates to Bullying, No, Absolutely. 12 or 13 year old Yui and Moa pretending to play guitar on the surface does seem a little corny, however, for me it makes me smile with nostalgia. Remembering 13 year old me air guitaring while jamming out.
@ShadeReactsLive Babymetal always makes me feel. IDZ makes my eyes leak. The lyrics are beautiful and poignant. For your Karate reaction I would suggest the MV and then Download 2016 live festival performance.
That Sonisphere concert is one of their most legendary gigs ever, Tokyo Met Rock 2015 is another one, if you find it, react to it (it's on Dailymotion or on their Metal Resistance CD limited version)!
"BABYMETAL - Tokyo Metropolitan Rock Festival 2015" There is also a fancam video edit of the full Sonisphere set on youtube, it's easy to find. I think it's too early for Shade to see them because there are many songs in these sets that are new to him. However, it would be nice if someone dropped a link to the Sonisphere soundcheck video. I saw it once and didn't save or bookmark. That shiat was epic, you can see the crew struggled with the tech and the set was close to be cancelled but still the crowd was shocked by what they saw and heard in those couple of minutes.
@@traylor2502 What's wrong with Met Rock 2015? You get to see BABYMETAL in their most raw form, no fancy show, no glitter and stuff...just BABYMETAL performing their own songs. One of their best concerts!
All Hail the Whiskey Prince! Sonisphere 2014 is probably the most important and courageous show they've ever done, it truly put them on the map worldwide, when you get to the Guide you'll learn more. It is great you are doing these double/triple reactions with older songs so you can see the evolution of BM, really helps appreciate what they created at such an extremely young age in a genre they weren't even familiar with, always impresses me. The real Kami bands are never part of the music videos or studio recordings, hence why they are actually not members of BM, only session musicians. IDZ is a absolute banger and great live, I'll agree that the MV is my least favorite MV but of course this was very very early in BM's career with a VERY low budget. They only have a handful of music videos so I'd say keep doing them in the double/triple reactions, LIVE is soooo much better but I still appreciate their music videos. Karate and Distortion are really great MV, you'll enjoy those. Yui's favorite food is tomatoes, including just eating them raw like an apple, honestly I do too lol. Yui was fighting that damn outfit malfunction half the song, bless her heart lol. Being a BM fan in the metal industry you will notice that even to this day there are plenty of metal gatekeepers that despise BM and feel offended that BM is metal. Can you imagine the criticism they faced way back then creating their new genre?! Yes this was Momo's first time performing IDZ as a full member, when they come together with the thumbs up moment it had to feel amazing what Momo had accomplished to get to this point. When you learn the lyrics to many BM songs you'll discover that they deliver some very powerful messages to the world and it's fans. 99% of their shows end with Road of Resistance, a few have ended with IDZ and Arkadia. Wow, I can tell when you discovered what this song meant in the lyrics that it really hit you hard. Totally normal man, BM has brought me to tears many times but in a good way and I'm absolutely not an emotional guy. Along with the great sounding music and amazing live shows, their songs instill very strong positive and uplifting emotions in it's fans, helping everyday people get through tough times in our lives. Many friends I have made in the BM community have shared amazing stories with me about what BM has meant to them and helped them get through life, it's been really great to discover this part of the fandom. You have certainly learned a bunch from us fans and we appreciate you taking the time to do that, I know reading through 100's of comments is time consuming. You will still learn alot from that guide, especially the older history of when they started out and also the VERY rough time period around 2017-1018. Cya next time!
Another good reaction. I've been waiting for reactors to start doing double/triple reactions for some time now. it only used to happen with the trilogy of lights. When a reactor reacted to a MV only, the comments would be full of 'you should have done the live version' comments, which is mostly true, but not in every single case. Also reacting to too many old East kami / Yui performances or too many West kami / Momo performances, sometimes creates feeling of bias or rivalry in some, and could lead to put-downs and arguments, or create misconceptions for newer fans. Some questions reactors have are answered in the next version. This multi-version format is perfect for a band/group like Babymetal that has a history and ends all these issues. Also, the reactor, far from getting bored, starts to anticipate things in the song or performance, or is surprised when something new is added. It doesn't have to be the only way, but hopefully you are pioneering something that will become more common in future. It's already clear it works.
It helps that I am brand new to this, so I do t have any previous biases. I’m sure an experienced RUclipsr reactor could tell me what doing this format is wrong, or inefficient. But I enjoy watching them line this, and I believe if the content is fun for me, it will be enjoyable for everyone following along
As usual you've caught on so quickly to so much of the lore and arcana for Babymetal. That's really nice, such a demonstration of your authenticity. This was another reaction of yours that didn't feel anything like 40 plus minutes. Watched it over dinner and had a great time. The girls were really nervous before the Sonisphere show. You called the crowd right. Tens of thousands of notoriously cranky English metalheads. Who have never been shy about how they feel. But once again these teenagers went out in front of that crowd and just nailed it.This at an age where some kids get wound into knots doing a presentation in a school classroom. By the way Metalica was touring Japan in Babymetal's early days. Metalica were so impressed they took Babymetal on to open some of their shows. Two other things. Different presenters will sometimes post f'rnstance Babymetal videos on their channels just to get clicks. The only 6000 views was because it was one of those postings. The official posting of this video on Babymetal's channel has 16,000,000 views. FYI: there are several guides to Babymetal but IMO and many others the best and most enjoyable is *The Not So Extensive Guide To Babymetal (April 1, 2024)* Very well done with some great dry humor mixed in (link follows): ruclips.net/video/aIb2xEthdSg/видео.html
Love that! It definitely doesn’t feel like 40 mins when recording either. I’m just having a blast. I’m also having fun making these ridiculous thumbnails for the videos 😂😂🦊🤘
NICE! U should watch road of resistance live in japan and road of resistance from the metal galaxy world tour in japan extra day 1. i link them here ruclips.net/video/zTEYUFgLveY/видео.html&ab_channel=BABYMETAL ruclips.net/video/NvTD4dzTzfY/видео.htmlsi=w9tGSYpFmuWOl507&t=3143 the second link is a hole show but the link start were road of resistance starts
Thats coming! I was told I need to watch the Legend 1997 "Death" and "Road to Resistance" first to avoid spoilers. I have been told this a lot actually lol
@@ShadeReactsLive yeah good idea to watch those first before you watch the guide both of those songs are great and have cool background stories to them
@@ShadeReactsLive They're right :) Especially for Babymetal Death (Legend 1997) it would be pity to have anything spoiled 🤫 Loving the reactions by the way!
It was their 1st european performance. They perform at Budokan before. So its not their 1st big show. It was a 30-minute set of 5 songs. They were originally supposed to play on the small stage, but at the last minute they were put on the big stage because at that time many people knew about Babymetal and showed great interest in them. All this happened in a big hurry because they had to move all the equipment in a short period of time.
The Kami Band were introduced in October 2012 at 'Legend I' with a two song encore of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' and 'Ijime Dame Zettai'. The last Babybones appearance was in February 2014. Folks are often surprised how long the Babybones and the live Kami Band overlapped.
There is another version of Ijime Dame Zettai that I think is worth a watch. it is from Legend metal Galaxy and is from the era of confusion between Yui leaving and Momo becoming official third member. Then we had the three rotating avengers .. This performance has all three avengers as well as Moa and Su obviously, on stage together - along with both the east kami band and the west kami band.. 4 guitars , 2 bass, 2 drummers !! . If you can see a version with the introduction story as well even better .. thank you for the reaction . It is great to see you join us in The One and become a kitsune
The studio version is never the final and intended version. The Intended Version is the live. The studio tracks, until Metal Galaxy perhaps, were more promotional material for the concerts, with the exception of a few tracks like Gimme Chocolate, Karate, and Megitsune (which I think they hoped to get radio play). The final vision is almost always the live. 🤘🦊🤘
Also, no one else ever mentions how professional Yui was after her skirt tore. It was like that most of the song and you didn't notice it because she's just that good. I am never not impressed when I see this video.
There's no need for studio audio if a song has multiple alternative versions. But what about for extended reactions to songs like Awadama Fever or Kagerou where there is limited value in watching multiple live versions from the same era. Would listening to the studio version first not enhance the best live version afterwards? I think it would, but then it's not my decision to make. And it depends on whether the reactor or viewer get something from it.
@Ryujin170 Not saying he shouldn't listen to the studio version, he was just saying he knows the studio version is the 'intended version', and well XD I don't think it is. Or it wasn't in the beginning. The last album is the first one where I was content listening to just the studio versions. And maybe half of Metal Galaxy. For a long while, they seemed to compose with the concert performance in mind. Not that they don't still keep it in mind, the chant in Metal Kingdom is tailor made for a concert setting, they just haven't put equal effort into the studio versions until recently, imo. I'm all for reacting to all the versions. Tho, part of me wants him to hear the best one first. You can only hear a song for the first time once, and I always want people to be blown away on a first listen. The later in the catalogue it gets, that becomes negligible, tho.
@@Slytherkins ah, I forgot he said that. I thought you might have read what i said about listening to some studio versions and was trying to subtley warn him off, lol. I see what you mean about certain songs like tales of the destinies, rondo of nightmare and metal kingdom needing just the one best live version. But with less less epic or more subtle songs, it might be better to hear them before seeing the live performance. it's not to different from an MV. It's possible they might enjoy the song more the second time. It's completely up to the reactor though.
Excellent triple reaction... again. And I'm late, again, and you have already 208 comments. I like to explain many things when there is the possibility, but I don't want to bother you by repeating the same. This is just their second song, according to live performances, premiered live in July 2011. So it was probably recorded around that time and Su-metal was 13 at the time. The Sonisphere 2014 performance is considered one of their most important moments in their career. They are totally aware of that. That kind of crowd tend to be a bit... picky. As they have a history of booing and bottle throwing to the bands that don't match their "standards"... you know... They also sold more merch than any other band that weekend (including Iron Maiden, Metallica, Anthrax, Dream Theater, Slayer...). Some call this "the Sonisphere miracle" but it's not. It's all about taking what you do seriously and blending genres and different styles with respect. Yes, the song hits different once you know the meaning. Not everything is about having fun and eating chocolate, but it's always positive and uplifting (except for "Rondo of Nightmare", probably). Yes, BABYMETAL Begins - The Other ONE - Clear Night was Momometal's first show as a full fledged member. "IDZ" was used there as the final encore, as an alternative to their usual "Road of Resistance", played as the first song after the opening. They rarely perform it live today. I traveled 400 miles each way just for the possibility that they did. It was totally worth it. 😁 🤘🦊
6:14 There is an Australian wrestler who did that. He did a Babymetal parody and wore a dress and danced with two idols. It's actually pretty good. It's called LADYBABY 'Nippon Manju'. It has like 35 million views. It was a commercial for Japanese tourism.
Wasnt parody of babymetal...Thats their band with the 2 gravure model ladies;) ...They have many songs. Also had a band called babybeard which was after ladybaby i think
@@ShadeReactsLive I thought it was because of the lead singer...the guys name was ladybeard. So both names are taken from his stage name... But i do notice the baby parts too;) I looked and they said it was lady from his name and baby from the other 2 because of their youthful good looks. But some babymetal influence could be there too
@@onigiri9964 I’ll take your word for it, that’s another band to check out for me! I’m learning that a Japanese metal band like has the words “baby, or lady” in it. Lol
@onigiri9964 they were a parody until the first song became a hit. Maybe parody is the wrong word. Homage? Parody has a negative connotation. Obviously they love Babymetal.
I'll just add something else. Fans could put their heads together and create a list of the ideal performances for certains songs that reactors can use as a guide if they want to. Some choices are obvious, but some should have multiple options. Not all tracks need to have 3 or more versions, and some don't have more than 2 distinctly different or historical versions anyway. I would avoid studio audio over live footage MV's (apart from gimme chocolate), but a reactor shouldn't be wary of reacting to studio audio only (preferably with lyrics) if there's only one main live version worth doing. In fact for some songs, listening to the audio, will enhance the following live performances. Here are a few examples of my personal choices for certain songs: 'Monocrome' lyric video / piano version / PIA arena (you didn't see the lyric video, it's cool) 'BxMxC' MV / any good live version (the MV is cool as well) 'Gimmie Chocolate' original MV / Steven Colbert live version / a recent version with Momo (some else will know which is the best one). 'Kagerou' studio only / Kagerou live with kami intro (the same format for Awadama Fever and certain lesser played songs). Tales of the Destinies' Live (The only song that needs to be seen on it's own without any preview). 'Headbanger Night of 15 mix' Legend D / Legend 1997 (worth hearing twice IMO, but there's no Momo version) 'Babymetal Death' Legend 1997 / Legend MM. 'Distortion' MV / Download 2018 version. I think the Trilogy of Lights already works as it is. I think i'm in the right ballpark with these choices, and I think most fans will only disagree with my choices slightly, and it's fine if they do anyway, that's the point. Iv'e been seeing what they have been recommending for years, but never got a chance to recommend any thing myself until the past few weeks.😆
@@ShadeReactsLive Oh, Add Rondo of Nightmare and Metal Kingdom to the one best live performance only list with Tales of the Destinies. they are best not spoiled.🤫
You are already a BABYMETAL fan! 🤘🦊 The BABYMETAL guide is a bit old, but I recommend this one for a good summary. ruclips.net/video/gDne0xwniTg/видео.htmlsi=qLaxTpa1gKQAdL8D
IDZ is probably the first song chronologically from BM where Su really gets to shine. She could already sing quite well, but in my opinion it took a few songs before they really found the magic, at least with regard to her ability. (DDM and Iine are fine, but don't showcase her ability much) Moa does actually play guitar, though obviously not on that video. She's not very good at it, at least she wasn't last time anyone heard. She does play once in a BM live performance; a very simple part. She also discussed playing guitar in an interview many years ago. Yui is called the Tomato Princess because she said tomatoes were her favorite food, and if the world was ending,, she'd want to spend the last minutes eating tomatoes.
I don't know which guide you've been recommended, but full version of Cryptic Misery's one is the most fun and informative, even if not up to date with post covid timeline, it has a lot of behind the scenes footage sprinkled in, so it's a treat for a new fan. ruclips.net/video/gDne0xwniTg/видео.html
The performance at Sonisphere 2014 is known among Babymetal fans as "The Miracle at Sonisphere" because it became one of the most important performances of their career. It their first big international tour in the west, and Sonisphere was just a few weeks after Gimme Chocolate went viral around the world and they started to receive serious international attention. They were originally slated to appear on a smaller side stage at the festival, but after Gimme Chocolate went viral, and following an outpouring of fan support online, they were moved to the main stage in front of a crowd of around 50,000. At the time of this performance, Su was 16, and Yui and Moa were 15. Most of the audience didn't know who they were and they were worried how the crowd would react given that UK festival crowds are notoriously unfriendly if they don't like what they are seeing. In subsequent interviews, the girls have said that while there were some nerves, they were mostly excited to get in front of a big crowd and show what they could do. They played a 30 minute, five song set (Babymetal Death, Gimme Chocolate!!!, Catch Me If You Can, Megitsune, and Ijime Dame Zettai), and by the time it was over, the crowd was chanting "We want more! We want more!", they sold more merch than any other band on the bill that weekend, and they were the talk of the festival. They showed that they could deliver a real live metal show and win over a hardcore metal crowd; it was the moment that Babymetal arrived as a real metal act. Sonisphere was the beginning of a long and special relationship with the UK for Babymetal, who often call it their second home due to the warm reception they always receive when they go there. They have done a number of memorable performances in the UK and had some big moments of their career there. The Kami Band at Sonisphere was Mikio Fujioka (guitars), Leda Cygnus (guitars), Boh (bass), and Hideki Aoyama (drums). The girls have talked in interviews about their introduction to metal when they began training for Babymetal and they said that they were initially shocked and even a little scared, but with time they came to understand what metal was about and embraced it. Their lack of knowledge of metal is actually what led to the creation of the Fox God and the lore around the group. When they were first learning about metal, their producer Kobametal was showing them the metal horns hand sign, and they mistook it for a shadowplay fox and started doing the fox instead of the metal horns. Koba say this and thought it was a good idea, since foxes are very important in Japanese culture, and started creating a fox related backstory for the group and told them to keep doing the fox instead of the metal horns. Yui is affectionately known as the "Tomato Princess" among fans due to her love of eating tomatoes. It came up in an interview one time where it was revealed that she liked to just eat them whole. As a result, the 🍅 emoji is often used by fans to reference Yui. The PIA Arena performance is from Babymetal Begins - The Other One: Clear Night (April 2nd 2023), which was the second day of the two day show. Momoko was announced as the new member at the end of Black Night, and then Clear Night was her first official performance as Momometal. Most of us diehard fans were pretty sure that it was going to happen, we just weren't sure when it would occur during the show. I went to Japan for this event just so I could be there to see Momometal's debut.
I'm 49, this song/show of them at Sonisphere tears me up a bit every time. They have the power to somehow make me feel so proud of them as if they were my own kids. And I don't have kids. And I absolutely love the look Su makes at 19:28. The "yes, I am pleased at the chaos we are causing" look. 🤘🦊🤘 You will find out why Yui is the tomato princess in the guide or at least one of them i someone hasn't already explained it.
Really liking the combo reactions, maybe you'd want to check out Akatsuki (Unfinished version) from the Legend 1997 concert (in 2013) where Su was 16 and it was like a piano ballad song vs the more recent live version Akatsuki 2021 @Budokan where it gets the full BabyMetal treatment to turn into a metal song.
Great reactions! Subscribed. You are thoroughly in the foxhole my fellow kitsune. My current favourite songs from BABYMETAL are YAVA!, Awadama Fever, Shanti Shanti Shanti and Metalizm. Previously it was Pa Pa Ya, Metali, Monochrome. To be honest, there really isn't much I don't like or love from this group.
Your exploration down the Fox Hole has been the best I've seen in a long time. The thrill of discovery you are experiencing reminds us of our own first journey with Babymetal. Welcome and thank you. 🤘🦊🎶
Thank you! I am loving it man
This is exactly why I enjoy reactions. It's witnessing that high for the first time again and it's as close as I'll get to the first time.
2nd this. Love exploring the foxhole with reactors. 🦊 🖖❤
yesss I'm glad you saw the lyrics in the last performance, this song has an incredible meaning
and when Su says "it's okay, I'll protect you" it's very comforting
NO. BULLYING. FOREVER. 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction again and thanks for the mention. Knowing the meaning of the song may make the official video make a bit more sense. The lyrics are powerful and very well written.
This song dates back to 2011 and at that time metal was effectively being bullied out of existence in Japan with hip hop and pop dominating and monopolising nearly all TV and radio air time, rock and metal had a constantly shrinking audience. The hairy guy represented the spirit of metal, so he was being bullied, having his guitar smashed, his hair cut etc by the guys in the hip hop bling .... and then he saw the writing on the rock "stand up metal" and was eventually revealed as one of the Babybones guitarists.
Yui and Moa were playing those guitars, as you said, every bit as much as the Babybones guys with their gloves on.
They played 5 songs at Sonisphere, IDZ was the last. There were over 50,000 UK metalheads there and probably less than 5% of the people there had any clue who BABYMETAL were before they started and even less of them could understand Japanese. They were there for those other bands you mentioned (who were all playing that weekend). Iron Maiden were headlining this stage later that day.
Before they went on stage the girls could not see the crowd from back stage and they were worrying what they should do if nobody was there to see them. They walked on to a sea of puzzled faces. Su is reported as having thought to herself "This will be fun. Let's knock it out of the park!"
They gained a lot of fans that day (if you did watch again did you hear the crowd shouting "We want more" and "One more song" at the end?) and their merch outsold all the big name bands playing that weekend.
The PIA Arena video missed the intro that was played before the song and Su's "La la la" at the start - both things did happen.
The first time they had a wall of death in the crowd it was a dark theatre and Su wondered where everybody had gone, all she could see was the empty space - and then they started the song and the crowd suddenly reappeared.😁
After the lyric reaction for the PIA arena, the MV made a lot more sense. I loved it. The Sonisphere performance was incredible on its own, and absolutely mind-blowing after you add in the context of the situation.
My brother, PIA Arena was Clear Night, this was the BMD/IDZ transition, there was no intro video. They went from one song straight into the other. We both watch too much BABYMETAL, it all blends together I am sure, but unless they specifically cut that for the blu-ray and wowow performances, and it was ONLY the live attendees that saw it, I am pretty sure they went from outro feedback from BMD straight into IDZ. You can even see Momo and Moa in position for it at the end of BMD.
@@legitdeadly9162 Thanks, I'll have to watch the BluRay again, I don't remember them going straight into IDZ like that - but as you said, watch enough and it does get confusing what happened when ...
@@Grington300 He is correct, BMD -> IDZ straight. But yeah, things blend together after so many Babymetal concert BluRays! 😅
_Kitsune tobe!_ 🦊🤘🙅♂️
The moment 60K UK metalheads fell under the spell of the Fox God.🔥
it was the last song of five. this was their first overseas performance at a festival. they had done 1 before this out of Japan. these 5 songs changed Babymetal forever. they were added to the main stage couple months before. they sold more merch than Metallica and other big name bands. they were the talk of the festival. when you get around and watch some history of Babymetal you will understand how this performance stood out. to think Su was 16 and the other two just turned 15 years old. Su showing how to control 55,000 people that didn't know who Babymetal was. but the best version of this song is in 2019 i think where they had the 3 avengers plus had both bands, the east and the west, play together. how you have 5 girls, 2 drummers, 2 bassists, 4 guitarists, and make it all work together.
You're right it was Legend Metal Galaxy show 2nd night. One of the most spectacular we are, BabyMetal ends .
😁🤘🏼🦊
Legend Metal Galaxy Day 2 in 2020 for the show, Sonisphere 2014 for the mark in history, Metrock 2015 for the crowd 🤘🦊🤘
Not only did it change Babymetal forever. It changed the Jmetal/Jrock scene forever.
and 5 song in main stage is song is crazy 🦊🤟🤘
At Sonisphere 2014, is that they got a 30 minute set, but Kobametal wanted them to do a sound check, which is not normally done at festivals (which is why often the sound sucks). Sonisphere said they could do a sound check but it would come out of their time. They traded for 5 minutes of a sound check.
Of course, the sound you hear in the video is cleaned up beyond that, but people who were at the festival said they sounded fantastic.
Also this was early afternoon, which is normally a very thin on the audience side, people still waking up in their tents. There were some audience interviews about how they were dragged out of their tents by their friends who said "you have to see this, Japanese Girls in tutus!". Babymetal couldn't see the audience behind that stage, they only saw an empty piece of grass.
The message of this song should have a great impact on babymetl fans. I believe that there are no bullies here.🤘🦊
I have received tons of comments since I started this a few days ago. And maybe 2 out of 1,000 have been disrespectful. The One really stands up for one another and I am all about it.
This song elicited a reaction from me I wasn't prepared for. I was bullied when I was in my early teens pretty badly and this song hit me hard. I used to have such little confidence in myself, but it's people like Su was singing about in this song that make all the difference. I strive to be that person for anyone that needs it.
@@ShadeReactsLive I have an idea who that rude person is, it seems that the love that BABYMETL spreads is not reaching him.
I have been happy for the past few days thanks to your reaction videos. I appreciate it.
I love your BABYMETAL reactions, are so complete! 🦊🖤
I want to be thorough! Im loving it so far🦊
Great to see you're having fun with these songs. Keep on enjoying the journey!
Thank you!
💀 ⚡ 💕 🍑 / 🚫
Su was still 14 when the music video was released.
Yui and Moa were both 13.
Those eight burnt guitars were displayed in CD shops for the release event for 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai', and then presented to winning fans.
They're among the most prized BABYMETAL collectables.
There is an alternate "Nemesis" version of this song, found on limited editions of the single.
It features guitars recorded by former Arch Enemy guitarist Christopher Amott.
Yes, Yui and Moa were playing air guitar with real guitars.
I like to say that they're playing just as well as the guys in the skeleton suits. : )
Moa can actually play the guitar, but she's admitted she doesn't practice as much as she should.
My favorite part of 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' is still the part where Su-metal threatens to kick the other members in the head if they don't stop bullying each other. : )
Nice reaction! I believe this version of Sonisphere doesn't have many views because there is a video on its official channel.
The lyrics of this song hit home, the message it conveys is very important.
My favorite version of this song after Sonisphere's is the one from Tokyo Dome.
So enjoyable getting to follow along and vicariously relive my joy at seeing these performances for the first time, thank you!
Quick comment after the Sonisphere reaction, this is one of three times across hundreds of performances that I've seen Su-Metal even slightly break character from emotion, when she waves to the crowd at the end her joy is just breaking through. The two others are first time she saw the arena light up for a performance of "the one" in Japan, and when she yells "bring them on" in Japanese during the closing performance of "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" where they were getting negative press from some publications calling them a fad. "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" is one of the single best individual performances I've ever seen.
Great timing! I have decided im doing Road of Resistance tonight!
Sonisphere '14 -- they walked onstage as some unknowns from Japan, and left the stage as international rock stars.
🤘🦊🤘
Don't apologize for the logo.
It's the best one I've seen because pretty much every reactor has to have one....yours says exactly what we all think and it's really not that bad to see through it.
I think most of everyone that's here for your reactions to BabyMetal know these videos off by heart anyways
Lol
Been enjoying them so far...I think even better with the 3 versions.
Hard to believe these 3 little girls have grown to 3 beautiful women
I think for a lot of us, it's been like watching our own little girls growing up.
Anyways...good that you came along to focus on them because the fanbase is massive and (welcome to it btw) I don't think we'll ever get tired of listening to them as well as watching the expressions of the new guy in town that's just hearing them for the first time
Great reactions and following
i just have a weird annoyance by it. On one hand, I understand that creators deserve to be paid for their content. But, on the other hand, I do not seek any monetization for my content on here. This is just for fun. So why block my video? If anything these reaction video promote and bring more eyes to the content, right? idk.. just my ranting thoughts on it.
So far you have done everything right with your reaction 😁
Glad you think so! Thanks!
Su was pretty amazing back in 2014, but in that PIA version you can really tell how much her voice has filled in. It's so much fuller.
You are definitely ready for "No Rain, No Rainbow" live at Legend S Baptism XX 😌this is really _the_ version to watch.
Love this song! Gonna watch this when I get off work
Hope you like it!
This song is not common on their setlists outside Japan. Here in Spain we were so lucky and they performed IDZ in Barcelona and Madrid celebrating the end of the tour and it was magical.
Now that you know how they end their shows... maybe it's time for "BABYMETAL Death" the intro song for every concert. Legend 1997 is mandatory and you can go for "Clear Night" or "Legend MM" version for an more recent performance.
As always, waiting for more!
Welcome back to the foxhole.
Great reaction!
Put your KITSUNE UP 🤘🦊🤘
Sonisphere is basiclly the launching point for BABYMETAL. Su has spoken about that show as the day she felt they were accepted by the Metal crowd!
Now they headline festivals! And fill stadiums!
They tend to end set lists on this song, Road of Resistance or Arkadia. But they do end sets on other songs too!
🤘🦊🤘
このライブ！
このライブが世界的人気に駆け上がる切っ掛けになった動画です。
ソニスフィアの奇跡と呼ばれる伝説的なライブです。
このときSU-METALは16歳、YUIMETALとMOAMETALは15歳になったばかりでした。
公開された動画が話題となり自国以外のメタルフェスに初めて参加した時のものです。
新人なので最初は小さなサブステージの予定でした
しかし、出演発表後の反響が大きくなった事で急遽メインステージに昇格。
集まったメタルファンは約５万人。
しかし、ほとんどの人がBABYMETALを初めて見る人達。
受け入れてもらえるか不安の中ライブが始まりました。
最初は静観して様子を見てた観客。
少しづつ盛り上がりはじめ、５曲目が始まる頃には…
それがご覧になったライブ動画です。
トマトはYUIMETALが大好きな食べ物です。
MOMOMETALは3月3日に生まれました。
この日は桃の節句。
彼女の名前はこの事に由来します。
女の子の健やかな成長を願う、ひな祭りという伝統行事があります。
Hey, I’m a 62-year-old rocker from Atlanta who grew up, listening to southern rock and a lot of other different stuff, and in the past four years, BabyMetal has become my favorite band! I saw them live in Atlanta last year, and it was at the top of my bucket list! In this video check out at the end when Sue gets finished saying we are a BabyMet and it’s history! just search up and you’ll find one of many I know there’s a recent one that’s really good!
tienes todos mis respetos 🦊💜🫶🏻
Fantastic reaction once again. The Sonisphere concert always gets to me. The courage, personality and professionalism of these little giant ladies is unmatched. The determination on Queen Su's face at he beginning of the song, claiming her rightful throne, the little fluffy super kawaii tomato princess Yui Mizuno up on that platform facing a horde of fierce British metalheads, the Kami Band really killing it, their happy faces at the end.... it's all amazing.
And then the evolution, growth, maturity in the PIA Arena. And after a whole non-stop show, they still run the huge stage side to side, jumping, chanting, full of energy and love for their fans. These girls are made of a different material.
I read below you are doing Road of Resistance Live in Japan next, I can't wait for it, kitsunes up!!
They got main stage after gimme choc was huge. And noone knew them when they came on when they left everyone loved them
They also sold the most merchandise that day
Imagine having BM merch from that event... it would be so valuable!
Loving the reactions.. Have fun in the FoxHole bro🤘🏼
Another Babymetal's gem is the commentary by the girls of the first few MVs.
They did them for Doki Doki Morning, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger, Iine! and Megitsune.
It is extra cute and quite informative.
🦊🤘
you think he is ready for Iine? I dunno.
@@paulmarks3662hey! Lol
@@ShadeReactsLive If you know, you know lol
@@paulmarks3662 Not a single reactor was ready to mosh.
I second the MV commentaries, really cute.
Yui is called "Tomato princess" just because she loves them 😂
sometimes it is just that simple... from now on, you can call me the Whiskey Prince
Also because she did a "Tomato-kun" impression a few times when she was in Sakura Gakuin, where she would answer questions as a tomato boy.
But, yes, that's because of her love of tomatoes.
@@ShadeReactsLive LOL
@@rickwagner- Yip she started Tamoto-kun at a Sakura Gakuin interview at Tower Records. Mori Sensei was proud of her.
She just takes a tomato and eats it like an apple.
The gold standard of Babymetal concert finales is Road of Resistance: Live in Japan…

Great reaction! One great thing about not knowing the lyrics: You get to fall in love with the song all over again after learning the amazing lyrics! And Babymetal knows how to touch your musical soul!
The Sonisphere video doesn’t have many views, because Babymetal has an official version of this exact video on their channel with 16M views!
Their producer, Kobametal took Babymetal to see Metallica in Japan in their very early years. The girls truly fell in love with the metal genre then, and aspired to perform and capture the crowd like Metallica did. So, I’m sure they got to see what a Mosh Pit looked like before hand 😂.
Also, Sonisphere was truly a big deal for Babymetal. Their first actual western metal fest. They won over the majority of the 50K+ crowd. Iron Maiden was the headliner that day, with Prodigy the day before, and Metallica the day after.
As you saw the lyrics, this song is an anti-bullying song. In the MV, the metalhead is being bullied by the guys in “blinged” out chains, representing J-pop industry “bullying” the metal scene in Japan, and Babymetal saves the day.
Babymetal’s lore is all about them being summoned by the Fox God to infiltrate the Idol industry by fusing J-pop and metal, to “destroy” them from within 😂.
The Pia Arena MM performance was Kami Band West, so you got to see both of Babymetal’s bands as well!
🤘🦊
Love how you're doing all the bangers lol syncopation, kagerou, akatsuki must be next lol 😅
(Moa can play guitar, she does it at least once) Bullying, stop it, never ( or that's the meaning) Lyrics short short version: Stop bullying, we all do it sometimes, we see it and do nothing, stop bullying. Babymetal mosh'sh pit is safe, no throwing people around, all fun. (different from sonisphere "normal mosh pit).
Lyrics/captions always a good idea if they have them ( early ones usually not), especially this song, but every song has meaning, dance reflects it always.
(There were accidents early on by Moa, Yui, Su. Yui fell off the stage, song ended with just Su and Moa; Moa hurt her leg/knee but finished the song trying to smile but you could tell she was in pain; Su slipped and almost fell but caught herself- Things have been safer since then.)
yeah these 2 are must watch before the guide ( death and ror). And for the guide there alot of good one but my fav is the one that came out ( april 1st 2024) its the most recent one 🦊
Road of resistance live in Japan is one to watch, it’s the last song of that show
loved the reaction as a new fan myself, i just discovered them a couple months ago and i'm really mad at myself about that, i think its time you watch a guide. there are a couple great ones out there. the lonest one is probably the most up to date. its like a hour long or so. their origin story is very fascinating. it will contain spoilers about some mandatory videos you NEED to react to but it also answers some questions you have
Hey we are in this together then! lol. Ill do the guide after I listen to "death" at legend 1997.
Loving the journey, can't wait to see more.
It's settled. You're ONE of us.
I really like the way you are doing these reactions. Not just doing one version, but ALL versions. Get it all out of the way in one shot. Doing it with lyrics at the end to get a proper reaction.
This song used to be the ender in the old days. Now it's Road Of Resistance. But I think since this was a 2 day concert, they did one show ender for one, and the other for the second show.
Time to do the guide!!😅
Sonisphere 2014 is my all time favourite peformance by them. Instant classic.
Next up Babymetal Death legend 1997(complete) before watching the guide 🔥🦊🔥
YES that is coming in the next couple of days!
ruclips.net/video/s0KPp23hmxQ/видео.htmlsi=QPPYv1h70Bt-NgCU
Here’s the link for it it
Pia Arena is my favorite version. The meaning of this song was perfect for the occasion! 🔥
And I'm super excited for your reaction to "The Not So Extensive Guide"!
Great review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼, Next “Karate Download uk 2016” deffo! Then “road of resistance live in Japan official” and then maybe you will be ready for “Black Babymetal “Sis Anger” 🤔👍🏼
Oo! I just did road of resistance! Check that out! I also plan to do Karate in the next couple days 🦊🤘
nice reaction Shade-Metal, I want to recommend another performance of IDZ that you might find to be epic and that is from the Legend Metal Galaxy Day 2, where all three avengers and both East and West Kami bands join together for the ultimate battle against bullying. As for Karate, it also has several iconic moments for example: at Download 2016, the APMA Awards show, before Rob Halford joins them on stage for a couple of Judas Priest classics, Download 2018, Budokan 2021, PIA Arena Black Night or better yet Clear Night, with a special appearance by the mysterious Metalverse group. And finally the Guide, you seem to be already in the right mindset to become a devoted fan, so I will wager that the guide will convince you that BABYMETAL is your new favorite band...lol
Brilliant BM reactor, always candid and on point. Salute
I love how happy Su looks during the last "We are..." at Sonisphere. You can see the weight falling off her shoulders.

BABYMETAL "ChiliChoco" A.A Arena FANCAM COMPILATION
They have kid friendly mosh pits and circle pits at their shows, it’s really noticeable at the PIA show
@@georgeseanor kid-friendly posh pit sounds… interesting
Another great triple bill . That Sonisphere performance always brings a lump to my throat, so proud of what they achieved . British metal crowds are notorious they threw bottles of urine at Guns and Roses for displeasing them, and the girls went on stage knowing how hostile this crowd could be . 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
They fucking killed it up there
Heh heh, didn’t they do that to Meatloaf as well? 😂
Yeah, Babymetal crushed it, for sure!
@Ganimal83 would not be supprised if they did 😁🤘🏼🦊
@@martinmetal7481 Haha, you bloody Brits! 🤣🇬🇧

We call Yui the tomato princess because she loves tomatoes
like SHE REALLY LOVES TOMATOES lol
If that's how easy it is to get a nickname, I shall don myself the Whiskey Prince!! lol
18:07 their were once explaining that at first metal was scary for them (their first look). They trained for a some time (years) before first show so, probably they knew what to expect. Saw some videos etc. And even if not, they from the beginning are very professional so i guess they would manage it ok. Nowdays looks like they really enjoy all that metal energy.
Enjoyed your reaction so much ! Welcome to The One. Babymetal is for all ages - I'm an old rocker of 74 years old and they are simply fantastic.
Sonosphere 2014 when they stole the soul of 65k UK metal heads including me. It started with babymetal death and finished with this.
Take my soul.
Yui is called Tomato Princess because she loves tomatoes. She even created a character called Tomato Kun that she turns into when eating tomatoes.
That is amazing lol
@@ShadeReactsLiveTomato Kun
ruclips.net/video/MKMCeMwDits/видео.htmlsi=VWr9Nw1LxfgFpDQ3
Tried to post a link to Yui doing Tomato Kun impression, but RUclips is being RUclips🫤
So just search "Yui Tomato Kun impression"@@ShadeReactsLive
Well....3rd comment and only because something else comes up with every video.
lol
Now that you're seeing the lyrics and the meaning behind the song, you'll find that pretty much all their songs will have some kind of message that they're sending in it.
Also, the effects of their messages and sometimes just the music alone will send you on an emotional rollercoaster so....i recommend you put your seatbelt on and keep all your limbs inside the ride at all times because.....even if you don't understand whats being said, you'll feel it in the music.
🦊🤘
Fun reaction as always!
Ijime, Dame, Zettai is their 4th ever release and one of their classic. This song usually used as the finale but not exclusively.
Yui was called tomato princess because she loved tomatoes and love eating it raw. Momo was called peach because the word peach in Japanese is 'momo'. There's a number of nickname to these girls, some of them are from their lore like, Angel of Dance (Yui), and Angel of Love (Moa).
Can't wait for the next one!
🦊🦊🦊
I shall be known from now on as the Whiskey Prince hahah. I loved the Sonisphere ending and sign off. Hearing the crowd yell Babymetal gave me goosebumps.
Yui talks about her love of tomatoes as her favorite food so she is known as the tomato princess
Princess tomato 🖤🍅
Thats hilarious haha
She eats a tomato like an apple every day.
@@autohmae She used to. She might be drinking them through a straw now.
In a 2013 interview, right after the release of Megitsune (their first independent single), Su-metal was asked about fans moshing in front of the stage. She replied "It looks tough and I hope everyone is OK."
@@johnschultz7765 hahah of course she did 🤘🦊
@ShadeReactsLive , the interviewer is a well-known and popular radio host who focuses a lot on the Idol world. 15-year old Su- is totally adorable.
ruclips.net/video/91miSpVBYO8/видео.html
Yui's tutu was torn because her pointy bracelet was stuck/hook to it just before the performance and couldn't get it off in time. So she just torn it off like what you see in the video.
This is a remastered version of the original video on their YT page which has 16M views.
The tomato thing is because Yui said during an interview she loves eating tomatoes, supplemented by Suzuka saying “Yui is very good at eating raw tomatoes”
Also whenever you have the chance, go back to the Sonisphere performance but paying attention to the Kami Band members, and you’ll notice how happy they look when they realized how the crowd was accepting the girls.
The girls were TERRIFIED. They kindof explicitely make fun of traditional metal, they're very tongue in cheek about a genre that metalheads take very seriously. They'd been told that the most rowdy, surley audience anywhere is a UK metal festival crowd and they were warned to watch out for thrown bottles (possibly not only full of water). From behind the stage, the band couldn't see the crowd and didn't think there were more than a few hundred people until they actually walked out that they saw the 50-60k people. Su still talks about this show pretty regularly in interviews. The response they got here gave them a huge boost of confidence towards beilieving that they could be an international sucess. It could be argued that this show is where they really became a metal band in their own minds.
Princess tomato 🖤🍅supremacy

Here's the entire 5 song set if you're interested
babymetal do not perform with skeletons since 2013. Last time u can see them - at Legend 1997 in 2013. And there was also real kami with many songs.
The Kami Band were introduced in October 2012 at 'Legend I' with a two song encore of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' and 'Ijime Dame Zettai'.
The last Babybones appearance was in February 2014.
Folks are often surprised how long the Babybones and the live Kami Band overlapped.
In sonisphere, that's a real kami band and they are playing live, every each member of kami band (japanese) is high class musician in japan
Drummer - Hideki Aoyama
Bassist - BOH
Guitarist Left - Mikio Fujioka
Guitarist right - leda Cygnus
Not in the show:
Pink Guitar - Takayoshi Ohmura
Red Guitar - ISAO
Kami band east(japan) and west (european and american)has a similar just look at the instrument😊
Yui is called Tomato Princess because she loves to eat raw tomatoes. It is her favorite food.
That IDZ Sonisphere video is not that users content. That is an official BABYMETAL video reuploaded on their channel. The real video has 16M views ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html
Also PIA arena IDZ started suddenly for a reason, a different song was the intro, a song that had returned after six long years, to herald the return of the full trio (Momo's first performance as a member). I wont spoil what that was, but it had huge meaning for the fans. This moment was the official return of the New BABYMETAL, an encore to launch the future.
IDZ is one of two (actually three) show closers. Ever since Road of Resistance came out, it has been their primary show closer, with IDZ closing some special shows in encore as it is not performed very often anymore otherwise. Arkadia is the third, but that is an extremely rare song to ever be on a set, and is usually part of a two-day legend show where they avoid repeating songs. For perspective, in 2023/24 RoR was performed 144 times, most of which were show closers, IDZ 17 times (Performed in Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia, and added as a second encore for the final two shows of the Europe and US tours), and Arkadia was performed only once.
I was hoping to avoid copyright issues, and using BM Official content is almost a guarantee global ban unfortunately. the video I used seemed to have incredible quality though!!
I'm still watching the videos and the sonisphere one has a bit of a story to it and if theres been any things I've made mistakes on, i know I'll be corrected.
This was their first overseas concert and their stage basically was beside the hotdog stand because they were virtually unknown still in the metal scene.
Being a metal concert and most likely all maiden fans, they're known to be the biggest and harshest critics so you can imagine the nervousness BM was experiencing.
The day was getting worse as far as weather and no....wasnt pikachu...that was rain gear you saw.
Anyway, a few bands left because of the weather but....and known to this day....guess who never left and has never missed any of their shows....BabyMetal.
I'm not exactly sure on this but they ended up being moved to the main stage where their destiny was finalized by these bad ass critics.....
They were more than accepted,
The whole crowd wanted them back for more.
And the rest is history.
This feels like it could be dramatized into a short movie about the events of that day
You should have also watched the versions of these early videos that had Babymetal commentary where they talk over the music about the filming. This is one link to IDZ commentary ruclips.net/video/Zht_zmi5sck/видео.html
20:52 people call Yuimetal as Tomato 🍅 or Tomato Princess because she likes tomatoes she even eats them raw; also, she had a fictional persona called Tomato-kun where she speaks as a boy, really funny.
21:02 Momo does mean peach 🍑 in japanese but that's not her name or what it means, it's just sounds the same and everyone (even her family and close friends for what I've known) use it as a pun. Peach in japanese is written 桃 while her name is 百々子; same pronunciation, different writing and meaning, but a very sweet and innocent pun.
The MV has lore in it. Bling Guy represents Idol/pop genre who bullies and suppress all other genres. The Fox God sent 3 idol princesses to use metal to rebel. Nice pronunciation and IDZ translates to Bullying, No, Absolutely. 12 or 13 year old Yui and Moa pretending to play guitar on the surface does seem a little corny, however, for me it makes me smile with nostalgia. Remembering 13 year old me air guitaring while jamming out.
It made me smile for sure, I may have done that a few times already on these reaction videos.... hahahaha
@ShadeReactsLive Babymetal always makes me feel. IDZ makes my eyes leak. The lyrics are beautiful and poignant. For your Karate reaction I would suggest the MV and then Download 2016 live festival performance.
That Sonisphere concert is one of their most legendary gigs ever, Tokyo Met Rock 2015 is another one, if you find it, react to it (it's on Dailymotion or on their Metal Resistance CD limited version)!
"BABYMETAL - Tokyo Metropolitan Rock Festival 2015"
There is also a fancam video edit of the full Sonisphere set on youtube, it's easy to find.
I think it's too early for Shade to see them because there are many songs in these sets that are new to him.
However, it would be nice if someone dropped a link to the Sonisphere soundcheck video. I saw it once and didn't save or bookmark. That shiat was epic, you can see the crew struggled with the tech and the set was close to be cancelled but still the crowd was shocked by what they saw and heard in those couple of minutes.
@@traylor2502 What's wrong with Met Rock 2015? You get to see BABYMETAL in their most raw form, no fancy show, no glitter and stuff...just BABYMETAL performing their own songs. One of their best concerts!
All Hail the Whiskey Prince! Sonisphere 2014 is probably the most important and courageous show they've ever done, it truly put them on the map worldwide, when you get to the Guide you'll learn more. It is great you are doing these double/triple reactions with older songs so you can see the evolution of BM, really helps appreciate what they created at such an extremely young age in a genre they weren't even familiar with, always impresses me. The real Kami bands are never part of the music videos or studio recordings, hence why they are actually not members of BM, only session musicians. IDZ is a absolute banger and great live, I'll agree that the MV is my least favorite MV but of course this was very very early in BM's career with a VERY low budget. They only have a handful of music videos so I'd say keep doing them in the double/triple reactions, LIVE is soooo much better but I still appreciate their music videos. Karate and Distortion are really great MV, you'll enjoy those. Yui's favorite food is tomatoes, including just eating them raw like an apple, honestly I do too lol. Yui was fighting that damn outfit malfunction half the song, bless her heart lol. Being a BM fan in the metal industry you will notice that even to this day there are plenty of metal gatekeepers that despise BM and feel offended that BM is metal. Can you imagine the criticism they faced way back then creating their new genre?!
Yes this was Momo's first time performing IDZ as a full member, when they come together with the thumbs up moment it had to feel amazing what Momo had accomplished to get to this point. When you learn the lyrics to many BM songs you'll discover that they deliver some very powerful messages to the world and it's fans. 99% of their shows end with Road of Resistance, a few have ended with IDZ and Arkadia.
Wow, I can tell when you discovered what this song meant in the lyrics that it really hit you hard. Totally normal man, BM has brought me to tears many times but in a good way and I'm absolutely not an emotional guy. Along with the great sounding music and amazing live shows, their songs instill very strong positive and uplifting emotions in it's fans, helping everyday people get through tough times in our lives. Many friends I have made in the BM community have shared amazing stories with me about what BM has meant to them and helped them get through life, it's been really great to discover this part of the fandom.
You have certainly learned a bunch from us fans and we appreciate you taking the time to do that, I know reading through 100's of comments is time consuming. You will still learn alot from that guide, especially the older history of when they started out and also the VERY rough time period around 2017-1018. Cya next time!
25:36 this video must be really old. As I remember "Road of Resistance" is show ender for a realky long time.
Another good reaction.
I've been waiting for reactors to start doing double/triple reactions for some time now. it only used to happen with the trilogy of lights.
When a reactor reacted to a MV only, the comments would be full of 'you should have done the live version' comments, which is mostly true, but not in every single case. Also reacting to too many old East kami / Yui performances or too many West kami / Momo performances, sometimes creates feeling of bias or rivalry in some, and could lead to put-downs and arguments, or create misconceptions for newer fans. Some questions reactors have are answered in the next version. This multi-version format is perfect for a band/group like Babymetal that has a history and ends all these issues. Also, the reactor, far from getting bored, starts to anticipate things in the song or performance, or is surprised when something new is added.
It doesn't have to be the only way, but hopefully you are pioneering something that will become more common in future. It's already clear it works.
It helps that I am brand new to this, so I do t have any previous biases. I’m sure an experienced RUclipsr reactor could tell me what doing this format is wrong, or inefficient. But I enjoy watching them line this, and I believe if the content is fun for me, it will be enjoyable for everyone following along
As usual you've caught on so quickly to so much of the lore and arcana for Babymetal. That's really nice, such a demonstration of your authenticity. This was another reaction of yours that didn't feel anything like 40 plus minutes. Watched it over dinner and had a great time.
The girls were really nervous before the Sonisphere show. You called the crowd right. Tens of thousands of notoriously cranky English metalheads. Who have never been shy about how they feel. But once again these teenagers went out in front of that crowd and just nailed it.This at an age where some kids get wound into knots doing a presentation in a school classroom.
By the way Metalica was touring Japan in Babymetal's early days. Metalica were so impressed they took Babymetal on to open some of their shows.
Two other things. Different presenters will sometimes post f'rnstance Babymetal videos on their channels just to get clicks. The only 6000 views was because it was one of those postings. The official posting of this video on Babymetal's channel has 16,000,000 views.
FYI: there are several guides to Babymetal but IMO and many others the best and most enjoyable is *The Not So Extensive Guide To Babymetal (April 1, 2024)* Very well done with some great dry humor mixed in (link follows): ruclips.net/video/aIb2xEthdSg/видео.html
Love that! It definitely doesn’t feel like 40 mins when recording either. I’m just having a blast. I’m also having fun making these ridiculous thumbnails for the videos 😂😂🦊🤘
No rain, no rainbow live at Legend S Baptism XX should be next😊

If you have a lot of questions about Babymetal you really need to watch the current guide two babymetal that came out on April 1st I think 2023
Thats coming! I was told I need to watch the Legend 1997 "Death" and "Road to Resistance" first to avoid spoilers. I have been told this a lot actually lol
@@ShadeReactsLive yeah good idea to watch those first before you watch the guide both of those songs are great and have cool background stories to them
@@ShadeReactsLive They're right :) Especially for Babymetal Death (Legend 1997) it would be pity to have anything spoiled 🤫
Loving the reactions by the way!
It was their 1st european performance. They perform at Budokan before. So its not their 1st big show.
It was a 30-minute set of 5 songs. They were originally supposed to play on the small stage, but at the last minute they were put on the big stage because at that time many people knew about Babymetal and showed great interest in them. All this happened in a big hurry because they had to move all the equipment in a short period of time.
First European show... after Paris and Cologne :p
@@TheLeomarti after? ive think Sonisphere was 1st. My bad.
🤘🦊🤘
Ijime Dame Zettai - First Time MoMO miked for this song
Ok. for the Baby Bones, Skeleton, you will ONLY EVER have them in 2012 and some 2013.
ANY other year, they are NOT there, so you can rest easy.
The Kami Band were introduced in October 2012 at 'Legend I' with a two song encore of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' and 'Ijime Dame Zettai'.
The last Babybones appearance was in February 2014.
Folks are often surprised how long the Babybones and the live Kami Band overlapped.
@@rickwagner-
I'm keeping it simple.
There is another version of Ijime Dame Zettai that I think is worth a watch. it is from Legend metal Galaxy and is from the era of confusion between Yui leaving and Momo becoming official third member. Then we had the three rotating avengers .. This performance has all three avengers as well as Moa and Su obviously, on stage together - along with both the east kami band and the west kami band.. 4 guitars , 2 bass, 2 drummers !! . If you can see a version with the introduction story as well even better .. thank you for the reaction . It is great to see you join us in The One and become a kitsune
I hope you react to the Babymetal guide video.
I will!
The studio version is never the final and intended version. The Intended Version is the live. The studio tracks, until Metal Galaxy perhaps, were more promotional material for the concerts, with the exception of a few tracks like Gimme Chocolate, Karate, and Megitsune (which I think they hoped to get radio play). The final vision is almost always the live. 🤘🦊🤘
Also, no one else ever mentions how professional Yui was after her skirt tore. It was like that most of the song and you didn't notice it because she's just that good. I am never not impressed when I see this video.
There's no need for studio audio if a song has multiple alternative versions. But what about for extended reactions to songs like Awadama Fever or Kagerou where there is limited value in watching multiple live versions from the same era. Would listening to the studio version first not enhance the best live version afterwards? I think it would, but then it's not my decision to make. And it depends on whether the reactor or viewer get something from it.
@Ryujin170 Not saying he shouldn't listen to the studio version, he was just saying he knows the studio version is the 'intended version', and well XD I don't think it is. Or it wasn't in the beginning. The last album is the first one where I was content listening to just the studio versions. And maybe half of Metal Galaxy. For a long while, they seemed to compose with the concert performance in mind. Not that they don't still keep it in mind, the chant in Metal Kingdom is tailor made for a concert setting, they just haven't put equal effort into the studio versions until recently, imo. I'm all for reacting to all the versions. Tho, part of me wants him to hear the best one first. You can only hear a song for the first time once, and I always want people to be blown away on a first listen. The later in the catalogue it gets, that becomes negligible, tho.
@@Slytherkins ah, I forgot he said that. I thought you might have read what i said about listening to some studio versions and was trying to subtley warn him off, lol. I see what you mean about certain songs like tales of the destinies, rondo of nightmare and metal kingdom needing just the one best live version. But with less less epic or more subtle songs, it might be better to hear them before seeing the live performance. it's not to different from an MV. It's possible they might enjoy the song more the second time. It's completely up to the reactor though.
Excellent triple reaction... again.
And I'm late, again, and you have already 208 comments. I like to explain many things when there is the possibility, but I don't want to bother you by repeating the same.
This is just their second song, according to live performances, premiered live in July 2011. So it was probably recorded around that time and Su-metal was 13 at the time.
The Sonisphere 2014 performance is considered one of their most important moments in their career. They are totally aware of that.
That kind of crowd tend to be a bit... picky. As they have a history of booing and bottle throwing to the bands that don't match their "standards"... you know...
They also sold more merch than any other band that weekend (including Iron Maiden, Metallica, Anthrax, Dream Theater, Slayer...).
Some call this "the Sonisphere miracle" but it's not. It's all about taking what you do seriously and blending genres and different styles with respect.
Yes, the song hits different once you know the meaning. Not everything is about having fun and eating chocolate, but it's always positive and uplifting (except for "Rondo of Nightmare", probably).
Yes, BABYMETAL Begins - The Other ONE - Clear Night was Momometal's first show as a full fledged member.
"IDZ" was used there as the final encore, as an alternative to their usual "Road of Resistance", played as the first song after the opening.
They rarely perform it live today. I traveled 400 miles each way just for the possibility that they did. It was totally worth it. 😁
🤘🦊
6:14 There is an Australian wrestler who did that. He did a Babymetal parody and wore a dress and danced with two idols. It's actually pretty good. It's called LADYBABY 'Nippon Manju'. It has like 35 million views. It was a commercial for Japanese tourism.
Wasnt parody of babymetal...Thats their band with the 2 gravure model ladies;) ...They have many songs. Also had a band called babybeard which was after ladybaby i think
@@onigiri9964hard to believe a band called “lady baby” and “baby beard” are not parodies of Babymetal lol
@@ShadeReactsLive I thought it was because of the lead singer...the guys name was ladybeard. So both names are taken from his stage name... But i do notice the baby parts too;) I looked and they said it was lady from his name and baby from the other 2 because of their youthful good looks. But some babymetal influence could be there too
@@onigiri9964 I’ll take your word for it, that’s another band to check out for me! I’m learning that a Japanese metal band like has the words “baby, or lady” in it. Lol
@onigiri9964 they were a parody until the first song became a hit. Maybe parody is the wrong word. Homage? Parody has a negative connotation. Obviously they love Babymetal.
I'll just add something else.
Fans could put their heads together and create a list of the ideal performances for certains songs that reactors can use as a guide if they want to. Some choices are obvious, but some should have multiple options. Not all tracks need to have 3 or more versions, and some don't have more than 2 distinctly different or historical versions anyway. I would avoid studio audio over live footage MV's (apart from gimme chocolate), but a reactor shouldn't be wary of reacting to studio audio only (preferably with lyrics) if there's only one main live version worth doing. In fact for some songs, listening to the audio, will enhance the following live performances.
Here are a few examples of my personal choices for certain songs:
'Monocrome' lyric video / piano version / PIA arena (you didn't see the lyric video, it's cool)
'BxMxC' MV / any good live version (the MV is cool as well)
'Gimmie Chocolate' original MV / Steven Colbert live version / a recent version with Momo (some else will know which is the best one).
'Kagerou' studio only / Kagerou live with kami intro (the same format for Awadama Fever and certain lesser played songs).
Tales of the Destinies' Live (The only song that needs to be seen on it's own without any preview).
'Headbanger Night of 15 mix' Legend D / Legend 1997 (worth hearing twice IMO, but there's no Momo version)
'Babymetal Death' Legend 1997 / Legend MM.
'Distortion' MV / Download 2018 version.
I think the Trilogy of Lights already works as it is.
I think i'm in the right ballpark with these choices, and I think most fans will only disagree with my choices slightly, and it's fine if they do anyway, that's the point. Iv'e been seeing what they have been recommending for years, but never got a chance to recommend any thing myself until the past few weeks.😆
Took a screen shot of this list! Thanks!
@@ShadeReactsLive Oh, Add Rondo of Nightmare and Metal Kingdom to the one best live performance only list with Tales of the Destinies. they are best not spoiled.🤫
You are already a BABYMETAL fan!
🤘🦊
The BABYMETAL guide is a bit old, but I recommend this one for a good summary.
ruclips.net/video/gDne0xwniTg/видео.htmlsi=qLaxTpa1gKQAdL8D
me encantan tus reacciones y la dedicación que le das ❤❤
ya eres todo un fan mas de las Fox Gods 🦊🫶🏻💜
IDZ is probably the first song chronologically from BM where Su really gets to shine. She could already sing quite well, but in my opinion it took a few songs before they really found the magic, at least with regard to her ability. (DDM and Iine are fine, but don't showcase her ability much)
Moa does actually play guitar, though obviously not on that video. She's not very good at it, at least she wasn't last time anyone heard. She does play once in a BM live performance; a very simple part. She also discussed playing guitar in an interview many years ago.
Yui is called the Tomato Princess because she said tomatoes were her favorite food, and if the world was ending,, she'd want to spend the last minutes eating tomatoes.
I don't know which guide you've been recommended, but full version of Cryptic Misery's one is the most fun and informative, even if not up to date with post covid timeline, it has a lot of behind the scenes footage sprinkled in, so it's a treat for a new fan. ruclips.net/video/gDne0xwniTg/видео.html
Thanks for the video! Just look at that adorable tired doggo over there ^^
The performance at Sonisphere 2014 is known among Babymetal fans as "The Miracle at Sonisphere" because it became one of the most important performances of their career. It their first big international tour in the west, and Sonisphere was just a few weeks after Gimme Chocolate went viral around the world and they started to receive serious international attention. They were originally slated to appear on a smaller side stage at the festival, but after Gimme Chocolate went viral, and following an outpouring of fan support online, they were moved to the main stage in front of a crowd of around 50,000. At the time of this performance, Su was 16, and Yui and Moa were 15.
Most of the audience didn't know who they were and they were worried how the crowd would react given that UK festival crowds are notoriously unfriendly if they don't like what they are seeing. In subsequent interviews, the girls have said that while there were some nerves, they were mostly excited to get in front of a big crowd and show what they could do. They played a 30 minute, five song set (Babymetal Death, Gimme Chocolate!!!, Catch Me If You Can, Megitsune, and Ijime Dame Zettai), and by the time it was over, the crowd was chanting "We want more! We want more!", they sold more merch than any other band on the bill that weekend, and they were the talk of the festival. They showed that they could deliver a real live metal show and win over a hardcore metal crowd; it was the moment that Babymetal arrived as a real metal act.
Sonisphere was the beginning of a long and special relationship with the UK for Babymetal, who often call it their second home due to the warm reception they always receive when they go there. They have done a number of memorable performances in the UK and had some big moments of their career there.
The Kami Band at Sonisphere was Mikio Fujioka (guitars), Leda Cygnus (guitars), Boh (bass), and Hideki Aoyama (drums).
The girls have talked in interviews about their introduction to metal when they began training for Babymetal and they said that they were initially shocked and even a little scared, but with time they came to understand what metal was about and embraced it. Their lack of knowledge of metal is actually what led to the creation of the Fox God and the lore around the group. When they were first learning about metal, their producer Kobametal was showing them the metal horns hand sign, and they mistook it for a shadowplay fox and started doing the fox instead of the metal horns. Koba say this and thought it was a good idea, since foxes are very important in Japanese culture, and started creating a fox related backstory for the group and told them to keep doing the fox instead of the metal horns.
Yui is affectionately known as the "Tomato Princess" among fans due to her love of eating tomatoes. It came up in an interview one time where it was revealed that she liked to just eat them whole. As a result, the 🍅 emoji is often used by fans to reference Yui.
The PIA Arena performance is from Babymetal Begins - The Other One: Clear Night (April 2nd 2023), which was the second day of the two day show. Momoko was announced as the new member at the end of Black Night, and then Clear Night was her first official performance as Momometal. Most of us diehard fans were pretty sure that it was going to happen, we just weren't sure when it would occur during the show. I went to Japan for this event just so I could be there to see Momometal's debut.
I'm 49, this song/show of them at Sonisphere tears me up a bit every time. They have the power to somehow make me feel so proud of them as if they were my own kids. And I don't have kids. And I absolutely love the look Su makes at 19:28. The "yes, I am pleased at the chaos we are causing" look. 🤘🦊🤘
You will find out why Yui is the tomato princess in the guide or at least one of them i someone hasn't already explained it.
react to rondo of nightmare live with kamiband intro🦊
Loving your honest reaction. Respect.
They often end their concerts on this one or Road to Resistance because they are fan favorites and very dramatic.
Really liking the combo reactions, maybe you'd want to check out Akatsuki (Unfinished version) from the Legend 1997 concert (in 2013) where Su was 16 and it was like a piano ballad song vs the more recent live version Akatsuki 2021 @Budokan where it gets the full BabyMetal treatment to turn into a metal song.
Yeah, Akatsuki is my favorite Su-metal solo, and those versions would of course make for a perfect double reaction!
Great reactions! Subscribed. You are thoroughly in the foxhole my fellow kitsune. My current favourite songs from BABYMETAL are YAVA!, Awadama Fever, Shanti Shanti Shanti and Metalizm. Previously it was Pa Pa Ya, Metali, Monochrome. To be honest, there really isn't much I don't like or love from this group.
