That was me the first time. Blown away. Smiling the entire time. Shocked and amazed. It didn't take these girls long to make me a forever fan. Welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. You seen nothing yet. 🤘🦊🤘
Well I had the same reaction as YOU did when my kids brought them to me, a big Metallica fan, check out Road of Resistance, BMC, and their 1st music video when they were very little Doki Doki Morning, enjoy the ride
I was another person who really expected not to like BABYMETAL. But, they grabbed me and haven’t let go since. It’s just so unique and different, it shouldn’t work but it just does. I think it works because if the specific people involved in the whole act. If this was run and performed by different people it probably doesn’t work.
@@SixxDaze I think part of it is that the lead vocalist, Su-Metal, her voice pierces through that heavy metal sound so well. Many young girls would get drowned out in all that noise but she cuts right through. Crazy to think that she was doing this at like 12 years old lol
Great reaction. This is the first song I heard by them too. Apart from an initial 5 second wtf when the girls showed up, I have loved them ever since. A unique, uplifting and exhilarating experience. They are enchanting.
Head first, right down the Foxhole... Oh man, you are going to be so blown away by this group. Like nothing else you have ever heard or seen. Their backstory is amazing. Their concerts are amazing. I am a musician also, 57, play multiple instruments, do metal and have been doing it since the early 80s. BABYMETAL is, hands down, my favorite band ever. Everything about this group is so good its downright surreal. There is much to witness ahead. I subbed just to watch your astonishment as you have your mind blown again and again by BABYMETAL, just like mine was... Welcome to THE ONE. Kitsune Dao!
I just discovered you...like your little show. We are roughly from the same era and probably listened to the same music when we were young. A few years ago I was wondering why the Rock scene was so dead in the West...then I discovered the Japanese Rock/Metal scene and found out it was alive and well in Japan.
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. There is no other band like them (some have tried, none have come close). I won't give you my usual wall of text and potted history (everybody sighs with relief) I will just say the Kami Band who support BABYMETAL in all their live shows are the very best session musicians Japan has to offer - and they needed the best because the girls deserve the best. You will not find a harder working or more talented band. They were formed and developed entirely around the vocal talents and stage presence of the lead singer Su-metal starting when she was just 12 - she is 23 now and just gets better and better. They have about 50 songs and every one of them is different - you may not like them all, that is fine just try another and the chances are you will love the next. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will mix in other musical styles and genres - some songs lean towards their pop roots others are good hard metal and they do everything in between. I don't do instagram so I will leave the suggestions and requests to those who do - whatever they ask for you won't go wrong with, there are no bad BABYMETAL songs, no fillers and every song is crafted then performed with the best quality and the highest energy ... every time they go on stage.
congratulations Mr. Sixx, you have just discovered the greatest band ever, dive right in headfirst, we are not a cult, but if we were, it would be the best cult ever, I highly recommend one of their more recent songs, "Kagerou" with Kami band solos
The beauty of music is, every now and then it flows in a completely unknown direction. Happened with jazz, blues, beat, punk, metal. And here you have the birth of something completely new. A children's song, danced to with metal music, executed in perfection. Babymetal has a wonderful catalogue of very diverse songs, with one thing in common. It's joyful, and played with an unstoppable energy. And live is where they shine. Try "Road of resistance, live in Japan". Have fun!
Welcome to Babymetal. Babymetal invented a new genre of metal, Kawaii metal or cute metal 10 yrs ago, 2010. Three girls started at 11 and 12 yrs old, now 22 and 23. Su-metal lead singer, Yuimetal and Moametal scream and dance. Three albums, over 50 songs, multiple world tours and awards for their live concert/shows. Have opened for Metallica in 2017 in South Korea, Korn, RHCP, Guns and Roses and others. Worked with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, BMTH and Dragon Force. Other songs you might like Karate, Megitsune, Road of Resistance and Rondo of Nightmare with Kami band intro. The Kami band, all male musicians, Mikio Fujoka guitar, Takayoshi Ohmura guitar, Leda Cygnus guitar, Boh bass and Aoyana Hideki drums, these are the main guys you will see dressed in death robes and corpse paint.
Great reaction! Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance. Here is a little bit of BABYMETAL info.. BABYMETAL have been melting faces for over TEN years now, and have performed with, toured with, or opened for Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Wembley, Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. Plus the 20+ awards they have been given. They have 45+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give their other songs a try. 🦊🤘
There will definitely be more. I have already shot my next reaction for them. It should be released Monday or Tuesday. There will be many more. I also hope to react to some other Japanese groups.
The band you heard was the KAMI BAND; all are session players. BABYMETAL started in 2010. It is a fusion of J-pop and metal. thus began the birth of BABYMETAL Welcome to ( the One )
LOL , the classic speechless and waow reaction to first time hearing Babymetal !! Thanx 4 great reaction . I started with Road of resistance ... and i can't stop listening to more !!
This is truly one of their most outstanding! I also suggest Head Banger, Yava, Awadama Fever, Megitsune, Rondo of Nightmare, Papaya and Akatsuki. The Kami Band is one of the best in the world.
Welcome to The One and The Fox Hole! This is only the beign. You need watch now Headbanger live or Road of Resistance live in Japan. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥
They not only control the crowd. They involve us and make us an important part of the whole experience. This song is a great example for that. It is about playing tag or hide and seek at first. The girls show the audience when to clap to the music to seek the attention of the tagger. (Choreography is a fully integrated part of the show, not just a childish dance.) Then it comes out that the tagger is a kind of demon they have to escape from. The next round starts - and who is clapping to seek attention of the demon tagger when the music repeats the previous clapping part? NOT the girls on stage ;) They are dealt as the best live act on the planet (as proven by several international awards) for a reason.
Great reaction! I don't have Instagram but I'm sure the people who do will give good suggestions. Babymetal is a fun adventure. They've been doing this for almost 11 years now and their ages span from 11 and 12 years old at the start, to 22 and 23 years old now.
HaHaHa, I bet you would have never guessed the queens of metal would be 3 teenage Japanese school girls dressed a gothic cheerleaders. .BTW they toured with Guns and Roses, seeing you have their shirt.
Welcome to the juxtaposed world of BABYMETAL... It's a smile inducing magnificent place. CMIYC is the heaviest/kawaii-est (possibly not an actual word) song about hide and seek. Thank you for the reaction. 🦊🤘🔥🖤
You pretty much caught onto everything Babymetal. The dichotomy of pop and metal. The dancing. Su's voice which shouldn't belong but does. The crowd control. The Kami Band. "Fucking brilliant!" Yep. Absolutely. The name has already been explained to you. Babymetal is Babymetal and there is nothing like them. And the Kami Band? Nothing more needs be said. They are all world class musicians. There is so much more Babymetal to experience. I can't wait to see you fall deeper and deeper into the Foxhole. Kitsune up!
Great reaction, and yea BM can be quite the shock hearing it for the first time but then there comes the realisation that this is shocking but also really good, there're"s a ton of talent in this group from band members to the girls singing to the production behind the scenes, and it shows! Now up to your other BM reactions to see the journey :D
The best Metal song ever about playing Hide and Seek. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 Didn't get here in time to do the Instagram thing...and I'd have to join Instagram...but always happy to see someone 'get it' straight away when they first watch Babymetal. Looking forward to watching your fall down the Fox Hole (Babymetal back catalogue) so subscribed to watch the fun. My first live Metal gig was Sabbath in 1976 and my last was Babymetal in 2020 and Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal) is the most original, refreshing, fun, hard and brilliantly musical Metal genre I've seen in that 46 years. Since you already have seven suggestions via Instagram I won't recommend anything else - I can guess what most of them will be! The 'silly poppy dancing' is in fact incredibly hard, rehearsed to exhaustion point and every gesture, shape and body movement mirrors the song lyrics, in perfect synch. Su Metal, the lead singer, is a soprano with a range of C4 to G#5 (even, on one occasion a G#6 in her duet of 'Painkiller' with Judas Priest's Rob Halford, which is on YT) and apparently trains to do that choreo and still sing over that band without misplacing a note by running on a treadmill and then jumping off to sing a verse. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
@@tonygriffin_What she has _said_ is that she practices singing while doing the choreography of the songs, which of course she does. There's an Instagram video of Miley Cyrus singing while working out on a treadmill, and there was a story making the rounds in 2017 of Lady Gaga singing while working out in preparation for her Super Bowl performance, so someone just free associated along the way. But Babymetal has never mentioned treadmills, and it doesn't make sense when she has the actual choreo she needs to synch her breath control to, she's not just running around a stage randomly.
@@Shoe-metal That's why I used the word "apparently", though everyone seems to skip over that. Lady G and Miley C aren't really my thing in the slightest but you sound like you follow them closely so I guess you may free associate that with SuMetal's lore and legend but I don't make the connection myself. If I was to free associate, I do know Babymetal were the support act for Lady G in 2014 on her tour so maybe she did pick it up off Queen Su then! 🤣🦊🤘
@@tonygriffin_ sorry i was not trying to offended you with my comment the subject had been mentioned in other posts and people with greater knowledge of BabyMetal than me said it has never been mentioned anywhere by BabyMetal it just suddenly appeared in comments one day . That's how i found out the comment was untrue and i thought i pass it on to you as well 🤘😁🤘
Welcome to the FoxHole and Babymetal journey! \m/ Please, next time avoid compilations vid, i know copyright blocked is an issue but this is too messy to give you all the details you need to appreciate on every different live performance they did, instead you can search watermarked logo vids from *Babymetal Reactor Resource* channel, they are safe to react so follow the instructions and you will have no problem ;) _Catch Me If You Can_ is one of the most representative song of kawaii-metal genre they created, super fun, creepy and heavy. I mean, little girls playing hide & seek with a Oni (japanese human flesh eater ogre demon) must be a little bit creepy, right? they can't fail on this one. Specially if you want to mosh'sh, this is your song to have fun. Also with Kami Band intro in this song during certain live concerts, is certainly not to miss it, they slash every song they play. Babymetal is a japanese trio group composed of SuMetal (Lead Vocals, born in 1997), YuiMetal and MoaMetal (Scream and Dance, born in 1999), formed in 2010 under the subunit Sakura Gakuin idol group show, they created their own genre called *"kawaii metal"* or cute-metal. If you want full objective and updated info go to CrypticMisery channel to get a short or long version of "A BabyMetal Guide". To get to know their roots, is probably good idea to watch 1st album songs, or 2nd album at least 3 or 4 songs before jumping to their newest 3rd album, but don't worry because you're gonna find all their songs are like a "chocolate" box, different flavors, you'll never know what's gonna like you more, but you will never get tired of keep tasting over and over \m/ I will sugest you _Headbanger!_ live at "Legend I", instead of the usual live at 1997, both are great but "Legend I" is the beginning of "Metal Resistance" chapter with the Kami Band first show, that chapter ended recently at "10 Babymetal Budokan", and you'll see an even more younger version of our talented little girls there. Hope to see you soon with more BM songs. Peace! \m/ _LIVINGLEGEND_ _10BABYMETALYEARS_
@Jake Muller Thank you for this comment. Normally I do not read all of long comments but this one was informative. This video did not get blocked, so I’m not concerned about that. It happens to me a lot regardless. I added your suggestion to my list. Younger girls do not make it anymore interesting. The music is the only thing I’m interested in. That band is amazing. I could just listen to them without vocals.
@@SixxDaze i really much appreciated, i try to never do long comments or wall of text that is useless to read, imagine if i have to give you full info on every live performances or the whole BM story here? ^^ I would love it thou, and i respect anyone who does that, but i know every BM fan will give you more interesting info for you to enjoy your journey even more.
Glad you liked it! You just stumbled upon the surface of the foxhole. Each songs you hear will speed up your time in falling down in there. Take your sweet time, sir and enjoy your trip down the hole and join us! It's fun down here!
As others have said about Babymetal, the playing is on point, the songs are deliriously catchy and fun, and shamelessly incorporate a variety of influences to create something that most metal fans (speaking as a long time metalhead since the early 80s, here) dread; something new, fresh, and unique. What you said at the 5-minute mark was my exact reaction to Babymetal the first time I heard them back in 2012 or so, which is "Whoever came up with this idea is a f*****g genius, because this is BRILLIANT!" This particular song is basically a Slipknot song with better singing. Suzuka has come a long way as a singer since this song, too, if you listen to their newest material. I have all three of their albums and they're all worth picking up.
I'm glad you like Babymetal! I'll recommend you "KARATE" from Download Festival 2016 and "MEGITSUNE" from the official music video. Next is the official live video "Road of Resistance". I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the foxhole.
You really need to have some words with your friends mate.......10 years. Babymetal has been out here turning the Metal Galaxy on its Ear for 10 Glorious Years and not one of your friends told you about them?? Words must be had!! Oh, and in Japan, that hard left turn from Kawaii (cute) to the heavy rock'n sounds of Metal...they call that "The Gap"....its a thing. Can't wait until you see them Rock'n with Rob Halford, or with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, or with Dragon Force..LoL!! You have some catching up to do!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
I agree! Somebody should have sat me down and said, “LISTEN TO THIS!” I heard my one of my nieces mention the name but that was it. I am so glad that I have heard them now. I can’t wait for more.
@@SixxDaze - you said to suggest more, so i paused the video and put a post with 3 suggestions. Then i hit unpause and you said to do that shit with instagram. Well i don't use instagram. So i deleted that post. I'd like to see you do 'Doki Doki Morning' official ruclips.net/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/видео.html It's their first ever music video and it's very cute. Su is 13 and the other two girls are 12. Because you're already in on the musical quality, now we have to sell you on how cute the girls were :) Not so cute now they're in their 20's. But they were about the cutest things ever.
Hearing my bois name king Von on a Babymetal reaction vid is something I would never think id heard but you said it lmao damn , Babymetal on my top 5 all time fav bands of any genre and king Von ive been getting hard into as someone from Chicago hella dope keep it up man👏👏
I see a lot of Babymetal fans rag on fan made compilation videos but this particular one has really been enjoyed by a lot of reactors lately. I like it for showing the band solos, different awesome stage sets, different costumes of the girls, and great crowd shots. Sure, there are bad compilations out there but this is a good one and serves it's purpose well of avoiding getting blocked by Amuse.
The only thing that really gets me about fan compilation videos is when they show close up shots during a solo that don't match the solo, sometimes not even a close up on the same guitarist. It's jarring to watch a close up of a guitarist doing one thing when something completely different is happening in the audio.
@@rantingrodent416 Yeah that's my only real complaint about this compilation. Especially during Mikio's solo. I wish they had stuck with the original visuals during the solos. But maybe just that little thing would have gotten it blocked. Who knows.
I love the contrast of them - a true heavy metal and a million smiles. I recommend all the songs, but for a start try "Headbanger - Legend 1997 show" or "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" 🦊🤘 Put your Kitsune up!!! ;-)
They, basically, are a textbook example for "opposites attract"! Regarding this "stupid poppy dance" or rather choreography (because it's far more sophisticated than a mere dance): It often tells the story of their songs.
@Sixx Daze, you MUST see, if you can, these three live shows: - BABYMETAL - Live at Tokyo Dome - Red Night and Black Night 2017 - BABYMETAL - LEGEND - METAL GALAXY (2020) I just saw it and my chin is still on the floor. A stunned and impressive production, there is nothing like it in the West, belive me. The form that these little girls controls 55.000 people with a simple gesture is stunning. You must see. Stay safe!
Welcome to the foxhole, remember you can listen to 2 songs without falling in, if you watch 3 you will fall in. I know you dont want new sugestions, and i dont use instagram, but try BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance live in Japan, the guys from dragonforce helped write it. Also you might need to cover the video with a watermark when you edit your video.
Thank you. I only do genuine reactions. It makes some people mad because I don't always say what they want me to say or like what they like. It definitely caught me off guard.
Excellent. One or more of following comments have probably been addressed earlier... - No two BABYMETAL songs are the same (& there are about 50 worth viewing/reacting to). - With the possible exceptions of KARATE & MEGITSUNE, BABYMETAL is best viewed LIVE. - To maximize your viewing experience of BABYMETAL, it helps to follow one of their core philosophies: "Don't think. FEEL." - Trust "THE ONE", they will offer sound info & guidance with regard to BABYMETAL. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
In the comments, they've probably said everything, I'll just add that you choose their live shows because they are the best. I am waiting for more, I will gladly take this amazing adventure in discovering their works with you. Personally, I recommend Headbanger live legend 1997
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏃♀️👹 This cute song is about playing a game that is like hide-and-go-seek, tag or blind-man's-bluff. Pursued by an "Oni"" which is a kind of Japanese Ogre, or demon. If not a real monster, than someone pretending to be one in order to terrify children. Good times! If much of their charm is in the blending of the cute and the brutal, this song is a great example. They're both turned up to the max. The recurring "Maada da yo." part that Yui and Moa (the two youngest) sing means "Not ready yet." They performed this song quite a bit in 2017, but not since. The last time I saw this one was in Chula Vista, California when they were on tour opening for Korn and Stone Sour. If you think they are commanding an audience in this video, wait until you've seen 'Road of Resistance' - Live in Japan. Although you might have to superimpose a semi-transparent logo or something over the video for that one.
I say this on every reactor's first BM reaction that is CMIYC - there is no better song to start your journey with their music than this one. The music is heavy AF while the singing and playful choreo is adorable. Always catches folks off guard.
Now that this will inevitably become a Babymetal reaction channel (which is a good thing), you should know that the band's production company, Amuse, do not like reaction videos very much. They are very quick at blocking anything containing copyrighted material. The video you just watched was a fan compilation made to get around this issue, but most such compilations are not that great. You will get recommended many specific performances in the comments, but beware that you might have to add a watermark on the video, or take some other kind of precaution. It is absolutely worth the trouble though. Babymetal are amazing! Next up: - "Road of Resistance" (live in Japan) - "Rondo of Nightmare" with the "Mischief of the Metal Gods" intro
Excelente!!! " Wow "... It happens to all of us . Please check the very best song ever By Babymetal. Rondo of NightMare with intro Mischief of Metal Gods . real live Budokan Black Nigth 2015. Lead vocal SuMetal and The KamiBand frighten Tokio! Dont miss the production : Rammstein-Godzilla level.
Another purist converted perhaps? I used to be one and now I am at the bottom of the Fox Hole buying every merch and slaving my soul ;and wallet to the Fox God aka Koba. Please react to live performances of BM: 1: Headbanger live at Legend 1997 2: Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of the God intro 3: Ijime Dame Zetai (live)... 4: Death...Legend 1997
Great first reaction. Got to say that's an odd choice as a first reaction song to Babymetal. Don't think I've ever heard anyone start with 'Catch Me If You Can'. First time I've seen your channel and I'm surprised you have no reactions to the Japanese music scene yet. You're in for a treat if you decide to go that direction! Babymetal, Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Trident, ONE OK ROCK, BiSH, the list is endless! All different styles and genres, but all amazing bands! Japan is killing it musically at the moment and you need to jump on the ride!
I reacted to it because someone suggested it. I rarely pick songs and I never pick songs from artists that I do not know. I definitely want to hear more of these Japanese artists!
Most common words when reacting to BABYMETAL: phenomenal, epic, performance, stage presence, crowd control, voice and dance. WTF, dude, and bro do not apply. Know what I'm sayin! LOL
no no no .... you don't get it but the comment section will have the simple explanation why they called BABYMETAL. anyway .... they have 40+ songs and not single one of them sound the same so if you decide to continue , do enjoy your journey forward into BABYMETAL Universe.
Excellent first reaction, and this is a great song for a first encounter, too. It is probably the one that is the most seamless and extreme mixture of their cute and metal aspects, and most performances of this song have a Kamiband solo intro like this one. The only thing that's really missing here is that there's not much room for Su-metal to show off her vocal talent in this song. I'm not an Instagram person, but I trust the Babymetal fans that are to point you in a good direction. Enjoy the ride. They'll continue to surprise you, during a song, and between songs. It's one of my favourite things about them.
Hey, first time viewer and I loved your reaction, I will have to take a trip back through some of your reactions. Your Insta is going to blow up with suggestions I think, there won't be any of 'The One" (Babymetal fans)' who closed your reaction before the end. Babymetal polarizes people, you either love them, or you don't. BM have a large catalogue and each song is very different. While Babymetal's lyrics and dance seem light and fluffy, their songs (like the seemingly frivolous "Gimme Chocolate") are often rooted in messages of self-empowerment, critique of patriarchal and gender biased societal norms and themes of Japanese culture and tradition. This is no lightweight outfit. Welcome to the Foxhole.
I'm glad it took you by surprise ! Even more so that you liked it. My mind was turned upside down when I discovered them. I also can't help but notice you're wearing a Guns'N'Roses shirt. Were you aware that BABYMETAL opened for them in January 2017 during GNR's tour in Japan ? If you google them you'll find a few nice pictures of them together ;).
I was pleasantly surprised. I really do like them. Yes, several people have told me about that. I will be releasing my next reaction for them on Monday.
@@SixxDaze Yes I'm sorry I read some of the comments only after writing my own. Ah well atleast it helps the algorithm. It's not every day we get a genuine reaction from someone who has no idea what he's stepping into. I hope some of the overly enthusiastic fans in the comments section do not put you off ! Enjoy the ride (and I'll be interested aswell if you follow up into the Japanese rock/metal scene as there are a lot of gems there for you to discover). Cheers ;)
@demOn It’s all good, it happens. So far, the fans have been amazing. I love the enthusiasm, how informative they are and how polite they are. I am sure this is going to be a fun and amazing journey. And, yes, it does help the algorithm.
subbed! you sir are a good reactor. we babymetal fans don't mind if you want to keep pausing the video or the song just to get your thoughts out. we've seen it a million times already! i suggest that you listen to their song from the self-titled album Megitsune! that's the one song that made a lot of us fell in love with the band and I'm pretty sure you will like it as well. great video!
Welcome to the foxhole that is Babymetal. You'll get plenty of "kitsune" comments, but you'll have to read my comment for the recommendation, sorry no Instagram for me. They are called Babymetal in part because it's a pun: Babymetal and Heavymetal are written almost exactly the same in Japanese. This is a compilation video and so you don't quite get the full force and continuity of a single live performance. They have been performing since 2010 starting in their early teens and they are now in their early 20s. I recommend you next check out "Headbanger - Legend 1997" and then go onto "Road of Resistance Live in Japan" and if you want your mind totally blown go onto "Tales of the Destinies"...and there's "Trilogy of Death" and "Trilogy of Light"...so much good stuff. "Catch me if you can" must be the heaviest song ever about tag. In Japan children have a playground game where the taggers are called "Oni" or ogres and Su, Moa and Yui mime running from the ogres in their dance. There are also spring festivals where guys dressed as "oni" visit houses and have to be given food to make then go away. They threaten the children that the will come back if they aren't good,. There is also a mention of "not going out in red shoes" which is a reference to a Japanese children's poem about a young girl that is taken from her parents by foreigners Babymetal are about metal fun and cuteness, but in most songs there is some darkness just below the surface.
I am sorry for laughing at you, but the way you are listening to it, stunned, is the best part. The girls are playing with the ogres in it, but if you let your guard down and watch them thinking that they are cute, you will get caught up and lose your life, please be careful. Please react to them more. Thank you from Japan. Btw, the background is the Tokyo Sky Tree, right?
Possibly the best reaction I've seen. I so love the multiple 'WTF' moments you have. 😊 Any Babymetal you listen to will probably do this. They take the idea of musical diversity and scrunch it all up and throw it back as hard as they can in a completely different form.
Caught off guard and speechless are common reactions to Babymetal :) Fucking brilliant, indeed! Welcome to the foxhole 🤘🦊🤘 ps. more songs, Headbanger, Rondo of Nightmare (with mischief of Gods intro), Karate, Road of Resistance, Megitsune, Awadama Fever, Kagerou (with band intro) to name but a few. All brilliant, all different.
welcome a dark and maquiabelikus world of baby metal (😁😂😃😄😄😄😄😄😃😁😀😁😃😄😄)more baby metal plishhhhhhhh carry on nex songs megitsune .yava .akatsuki.sis anger. bxmxc.karate .rondo of nightmare.brand new day .tales of the destinies .GJ .shine .arkadia.da da dance.
Good reaction. You've bought the ticket, now take the ride! They are the exact opposite of a one trick pony. They literally have a couple of dozen songs that good. Nobody has suggested any Black Babymetal (just Yui and Moa) songs: Song 4, Onedari Daisakusen, GJ! and Sis. Anger. You're a musician so Tales of the Destinies will blow your mind. THE ONE will be with you.
It's not only because the girls were so young, the main reason behind the name BABYMETAL is it's the birth of a new genre of metal that is Kawai Metal (Cute Metal) BABYMETAL is so unique and gave freshness to Metal. Their live performances are all EPIC. Their talents and hardwork are way beyond our imagination. Please react to "Karate" Live at Download 2016. Metal Goddess QUEEN SU-METAL ❤️ Metal Princess MOAMETAL 😍 Metal Princess YUIMETAL 😍 Kami Band 🔥 Avengers 😍 ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
For your next reactions, I suggest these live performances! Preferrably in this order: 1) BABYMETAL | Headbanger!!「ヘドバンギャー!!」| LIVE at Legend 1997 (HQ) ruclips.net/video/r-2IY10k9KM/видео.html 2) Babymetal - Akatsuki Unfinished - Widescreen with English Subs ruclips.net/video/nwsinmxTxbo/видео.html 3) BABYMETAL | BABYMETAL DEATH | LIVE at Legend 1997 (HQ) [Intro subtitled] ruclips.net/video/1AvTxXXuBi4/видео.html Please use these specific links. They're high quality and the last two have subtitles (remember to turn them on!). Sorry, the first one has no subtitles but don't worry about it. They're all from the "Legend 1997" concert from December 2013, celebrating Su's 16th birthday. The 1997 is the year she was born.
BTW, I did watch to the end but I do not have Instagram. Plus in the video you said you wanted more Babymetal songs so here they are! Also, what's a "farm list"?
@sleepingfordays My farm list is my play list that I listen to while working out on the farm. I only put songs that I REALLY like on it to keep me awake. I fall asleep a lot on the tractor when I get too bored or comfortable. So my play list must be awesome.
That was me the first time. Blown away. Smiling the entire time. Shocked and amazed. It didn't take these girls long to make me a forever fan. Welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. You seen nothing yet. 🤘🦊🤘
I can't wait! I have a feeling that it's going to be a fun ride!
Well I had the same reaction as YOU did when my kids brought them to me, a big Metallica fan, check out Road of Resistance, BMC, and their 1st music video when they were very little Doki Doki Morning, enjoy the ride
I noticed the GNR shirt. they have opened for guns n roses before and slash has said in interviews how much he likes them. headbanger- legend of 1997
I was another person who really expected not to like BABYMETAL. But, they grabbed me and haven’t let go since. It’s just so unique and different, it shouldn’t work but it just does. I think it works because if the specific people involved in the whole act. If this was run and performed by different people it probably doesn’t work.
You are correct, it shouldn’t work but it does and it probably wouldn’t work with different people.
@@SixxDaze I think part of it is that the lead vocalist, Su-Metal, her voice pierces through that heavy metal sound so well. Many young girls would get drowned out in all that noise but she cuts right through. Crazy to think that she was doing this at like 12 years old lol
Great reaction. This is the first song I heard by them too. Apart from an initial 5 second wtf when the girls showed up, I have loved them ever since. A unique, uplifting and exhilarating experience. They are enchanting.
Head first, right down the Foxhole...
Oh man, you are going to be so blown away by this group.
Like nothing else you have ever heard or seen.
Their backstory is amazing.
Their concerts are amazing.
I am a musician also, 57, play multiple instruments, do metal and have been doing it since the early 80s.
BABYMETAL is, hands down, my favorite band ever.
Everything about this group is so good its downright surreal.
There is much to witness ahead.
I subbed just to watch your astonishment as you have your mind blown again and again by BABYMETAL, just like mine was...
Welcome to THE ONE.
Kitsune Dao!
That’s awesome! I am looking forward to the journey. Thank you.
Same.
I just discovered you...like your little show. We are roughly from the same era and probably listened to the same music when we were young. A few years ago I was wondering why the Rock scene was so dead in the West...then I discovered the Japanese Rock/Metal scene and found out it was alive and well in Japan.
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. There is no other band like them (some have tried, none have come close). I won't give you my usual wall of text and potted history (everybody sighs with relief) I will just say the Kami Band who support BABYMETAL in all their live shows are the very best session musicians Japan has to offer - and they needed the best because the girls deserve the best. You will not find a harder working or more talented band.
They were formed and developed entirely around the vocal talents and stage presence of the lead singer Su-metal starting when she was just 12 - she is 23 now and just gets better and better.
They have about 50 songs and every one of them is different - you may not like them all, that is fine just try another and the chances are you will love the next. They have songs in virtually every metal genre but will mix in other musical styles and genres - some songs lean towards their pop roots others are good hard metal and they do everything in between.
I don't do instagram so I will leave the suggestions and requests to those who do - whatever they ask for you won't go wrong with, there are no bad BABYMETAL songs, no fillers and every song is crafted then performed with the best quality and the highest energy ... every time they go on stage.
Great comment. And thank you for watching the whole video.
@@SixxDaze My pleasure - I enjoy a good reaction and yours entertained me immensely :-)
You kept a promise it was short putting this in my diary 🤘😁🤘
@@martinmetal7481 Haha, I already put it in mine :-)
@@Grington300 this was my face on seeing your comment 😮
🤘🦊🤘
Whenever I need a feel good moment I always come back to your first reaction to these girls. Yes they and their band are indeed something special.
congratulations Mr. Sixx, you have just discovered the greatest band ever, dive right in headfirst, we are not a cult, but if we were, it would be the best cult ever, I highly recommend one of their more recent songs, "Kagerou" with Kami band solos
I am so excited!!

The beauty of music is, every now and then it flows in a completely unknown direction. Happened with jazz, blues, beat, punk, metal. And here you have the birth of something completely new. A children's song, danced to with metal music, executed in perfection. Babymetal has a wonderful catalogue of very diverse songs, with one thing in common. It's joyful, and played with an unstoppable energy. And live is where they shine. Try "Road of resistance, live in Japan". Have fun!
Welcome to Babymetal. Babymetal invented a new genre of metal, Kawaii metal or cute metal 10 yrs ago, 2010. Three girls started at 11 and 12 yrs old, now 22 and 23. Su-metal lead singer, Yuimetal and Moametal scream and dance. Three albums, over 50 songs, multiple world tours and awards for their live concert/shows. Have opened for Metallica in 2017 in South Korea, Korn, RHCP, Guns and Roses and others. Worked with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Rob Halford of Judas Priest, BMTH and Dragon Force. Other songs you might like Karate, Megitsune, Road of Resistance and Rondo of Nightmare with Kami band intro. The Kami band, all male musicians, Mikio Fujoka guitar, Takayoshi Ohmura guitar, Leda Cygnus guitar, Boh bass and Aoyana Hideki drums, these are the main guys you will see dressed in death robes and corpse paint.

Great reaction! Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance. Here is a little bit of BABYMETAL info..
BABYMETAL have been melting faces for over TEN years now, and have performed with, toured with, or opened for Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Wembley, Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. Plus the 20+ awards they have been given. They have 45+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give their other songs a try. 🦊🤘
There will definitely be more. I have already shot my next reaction for them. It should be released Monday or Tuesday. There will be many more. I also hope to react to some other Japanese groups.
@@SixxDaze BABYMETAL was my gateway to Japanese music; Maximum The Hormone and Band-Maid are both bands you should check out.
Try BabyMetal
"Headbanger" live at

it is Outstanding and Outrageous!!!
The band you heard was the KAMI BAND; all are session players. BABYMETAL started in 2010. It is a fusion of J-pop and metal. thus began the birth of BABYMETAL Welcome to ( the One )
Excelencia Babymetal y saludos desde Lima Perú
LOL , the classic speechless and waow reaction to first time hearing Babymetal !! Thanx 4 great reaction . I started with Road of resistance ... and i can't stop listening to more !!
This is truly one of their most outstanding! I also suggest Head Banger, Yava, Awadama Fever, Megitsune, Rondo of Nightmare, Papaya and Akatsuki. The Kami Band is one of the best in the world.
Dont forget babymetal Death 🤘🦊
name Babymetal is for the birth of a new genre.
Welcome to The One and The Fox Hole! This is only the beign. You need watch now Headbanger live or Road of Resistance live in Japan. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🔥 🔥 🔥
They not only control the crowd. They involve us and make us an important part of the whole experience.
This song is a great example for that. It is about playing tag or hide and seek at first. The girls show the audience when to clap to the music to seek the attention of the tagger. (Choreography is a fully integrated part of the show, not just a childish dance.) Then it comes out that the tagger is a kind of demon they have to escape from. The next round starts - and who is clapping to seek attention of the demon tagger when the music repeats the previous clapping part? NOT the girls on stage ;)
They are dealt as the best live act on the planet (as proven by several international awards) for a reason.
That's awesome!
Great reaction! I don't have Instagram but I'm sure the people who do will give good suggestions. Babymetal is a fun adventure. They've been doing this for almost 11 years now and their ages span from 11 and 12 years old at the start, to 22 and 23 years old now.
HaHaHa, I bet you would have never guessed the queens of metal would be 3 teenage Japanese school girls dressed a gothic cheerleaders. .BTW they toured with Guns and Roses, seeing you have their shirt.
Not in my wildest dreams would I have thought this.
Welcome to the juxtaposed world of BABYMETAL... It's a smile inducing magnificent place. CMIYC is the heaviest/kawaii-est (possibly not an actual word) song about hide and seek. Thank you for the reaction. 🦊🤘🔥🖤
It's a word now, lol!
Hide and seek with a Japanese oni, a demon.
@@charleslatora5750 indeed, one of the three great Yokai I believe.
Amazing reaction, loved it so much!! Thank you so much for reacting to BABYMETAL!! 🤘🦊🤘
It is my pleasure. There will be more A LOT MORE>
Nice choice for first reacting them!
What the hell! So adorable! So different! 🤘😎🤘
Yes! I am so surprised! I can't wait to hear more!
Babymetal is a group I wished I heard of years earlier than I did. I feel cheated that I didn't.
Me too!
You pretty much caught onto everything Babymetal. The dichotomy of pop and metal. The dancing. Su's voice which shouldn't belong but does. The crowd control. The Kami Band.
"Fucking brilliant!" Yep. Absolutely.
The name has already been explained to you. Babymetal is Babymetal and there is nothing like them.
And the Kami Band? Nothing more needs be said. They are all world class musicians.
There is so much more Babymetal to experience.
I can't wait to see you fall deeper and deeper into the Foxhole.
Kitsune up!
Cool reaction to one of my favorite BABYMETAL songs.
We want more babymetal 🦊
There will be more. I already shot my next BABYMETAL reaction. I will release it Monday or Tuesday.
Great reaction, and yea BM can be quite the shock hearing it for the first time but then there comes the realisation that this is shocking but also really good, there're"s a ton of talent in this group from band members to the girls singing to the production behind the scenes, and it shows!
Now up to your other BM reactions to see the journey :D
The best Metal song ever about playing Hide and Seek. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 Didn't get here in time to do the Instagram thing...and I'd have to join Instagram...but always happy to see someone 'get it' straight away when they first watch Babymetal. Looking forward to watching your fall down the Fox Hole (Babymetal back catalogue) so subscribed to watch the fun. My first live Metal gig was Sabbath in 1976 and my last was Babymetal in 2020 and Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal) is the most original, refreshing, fun, hard and brilliantly musical Metal genre I've seen in that 46 years. Since you already have seven suggestions via Instagram I won't recommend anything else - I can guess what most of them will be! The 'silly poppy dancing' is in fact incredibly hard, rehearsed to exhaustion point and every gesture, shape and body movement mirrors the song lyrics, in perfect synch. Su Metal, the lead singer, is a soprano with a range of C4 to G#5 (even, on one occasion a G#6 in her duet of 'Painkiller' with Judas Priest's Rob Halford, which is on YT) and apparently trains to do that choreo and still sing over that band without misplacing a note by running on a treadmill and then jumping off to sing a verse. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
She actually just moves around while practicing the treadmill bit somehow just got added on some time but dont know when 🤔
🤘😁🤘🦊
@@martinmetal7481 OTFGK for sure!
@@tonygriffin_What she has _said_ is that she practices singing while doing the choreography of the songs, which of course she does. There's an Instagram video of Miley Cyrus singing while working out on a treadmill, and there was a story making the rounds in 2017 of Lady Gaga singing while working out in preparation for her Super Bowl performance, so someone just free associated along the way. But Babymetal has never mentioned treadmills, and it doesn't make sense when she has the actual choreo she needs to synch her breath control to, she's not just running around a stage randomly.
@@Shoe-metal That's why I used the word "apparently", though everyone seems to skip over that. Lady G and Miley C aren't really my thing in the slightest but you sound like you follow them closely so I guess you may free associate that with SuMetal's lore and legend but I don't make the connection myself. If I was to free associate, I do know Babymetal were the support act for Lady G in 2014 on her tour so maybe she did pick it up off Queen Su then! 🤣🦊🤘
@@tonygriffin_ sorry i was not trying to offended you with my comment the subject had been mentioned in other posts and people with greater knowledge of BabyMetal than me said it has never been mentioned anywhere by BabyMetal it just suddenly appeared in comments one day . That's how i found out the comment was untrue and i thought i pass it on to you as well
🤘😁🤘
Welcome to the FoxHole and Babymetal journey! \m/
Please, next time avoid compilations vid, i know copyright blocked is an issue but this is too messy to give you all the details you need to appreciate on every different live performance they did, instead you can search watermarked logo vids from *Babymetal Reactor Resource* channel, they are safe to react so follow the instructions and you will have no problem ;)
_Catch Me If You Can_ is one of the most representative song of kawaii-metal genre they created, super fun, creepy and heavy. I mean, little girls playing hide & seek with a Oni (japanese human flesh eater ogre demon) must be a little bit creepy, right? they can't fail on this one.
Specially if you want to mosh'sh, this is your song to have fun. Also with Kami Band intro in this song during certain live concerts, is certainly not to miss it, they slash every song they play.
Babymetal is a japanese trio group composed of SuMetal (Lead Vocals, born in 1997), YuiMetal and MoaMetal (Scream and Dance, born in 1999), formed in 2010 under the subunit Sakura Gakuin idol group show, they created their own genre called *"kawaii metal"* or cute-metal. If you want full objective and updated info go to CrypticMisery channel to get a short or long version of "A BabyMetal Guide".
To get to know their roots, is probably good idea to watch 1st album songs, or 2nd album at least 3 or 4 songs before jumping to their newest 3rd album, but don't worry because you're gonna find all their songs are like a "chocolate" box, different flavors, you'll never know what's gonna like you more, but you will never get tired of keep tasting over and over \m/
I will sugest you _Headbanger!_ live at "Legend I", instead of the usual live at 1997, both are great but "Legend I" is the beginning of "Metal Resistance" chapter with the Kami Band first show, that chapter ended recently at "10 Babymetal Budokan", and you'll see an even more younger version of our talented little girls there.
Hope to see you soon with more BM songs. Peace! \m/

@Jake Muller Thank you for this comment. Normally I do not read all of long comments but this one was informative. This video did not get blocked, so I’m not concerned about that. It happens to me a lot regardless. I added your suggestion to my list. Younger girls do not make it anymore interesting. The music is the only thing I’m interested in. That band is amazing. I could just listen to them without vocals.
@@SixxDaze i really much appreciated, i try to never do long comments or wall of text that is useless to read, imagine if i have to give you full info on every live performances or the whole BM story here? ^^
I would love it thou, and i respect anyone who does that, but i know every BM fan will give you more interesting info for you to enjoy your journey even more.
Glad you liked it! You just stumbled upon the surface of the foxhole. Each songs you hear will speed up your time in falling down in there. Take your sweet time, sir and enjoy your trip down the hole and join us! It's fun down here!
Thank you. I am looking forward to the journey.
Your reaction parallels mine. Now I am hooked. Been hooked. Don't/Won't ever get unhooked. Loved your reaction.
As others have said about Babymetal, the playing is on point, the songs are deliriously catchy and fun, and shamelessly incorporate a variety of influences to create something that most metal fans (speaking as a long time metalhead since the early 80s, here) dread; something new, fresh, and unique. What you said at the 5-minute mark was my exact reaction to Babymetal the first time I heard them back in 2012 or so, which is "Whoever came up with this idea is a f*****g genius, because this is BRILLIANT!" This particular song is basically a Slipknot song with better singing. Suzuka has come a long way as a singer since this song, too, if you listen to their newest material. I have all three of their albums and they're all worth picking up.
I'm glad you like Babymetal!
I'll recommend you "KARATE" from Download Festival 2016 and "MEGITSUNE" from the official music video.
Next is the official live video "Road of Resistance".
I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the foxhole.
You will probably enjoy BABYMETAL - 'Road of Resistance' live in japan.
You really need to have some words with your friends mate.......10 years. Babymetal has been out here turning the Metal Galaxy on its Ear for 10 Glorious Years and not one of your friends told you about them?? Words must be had!!
Oh, and in Japan, that hard left turn from Kawaii (cute) to the heavy rock'n sounds of Metal...they call that "The Gap"....its a thing.
Can't wait until you see them Rock'n with Rob Halford, or with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, or with Dragon Force..LoL!! You have some catching up to do!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
I agree! Somebody should have sat me down and said, “LISTEN TO THIS!” I heard my one of my nieces mention the name but that was it. I am so glad that I have heard them now. I can’t wait for more.
@@SixxDaze - you said to suggest more, so i paused the video and put a post with 3 suggestions. Then i hit unpause and you said to do that shit with instagram. Well i don't use instagram. So i deleted that post. I'd like to see you do 'Doki Doki Morning' official ruclips.net/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/видео.html It's their first ever music video and it's very cute. Su is 13 and the other two girls are 12. Because you're already in on the musical quality, now we have to sell you on how cute the girls were :) Not so cute now they're in their 20's. But they were about the cutest things ever.
Or the song they did with Oli and BMTH...Kingslayer. MIND BLOWING!!
Hearing my bois name king Von on a Babymetal reaction vid is something I would never think id heard but you said it lmao damn , Babymetal on my top 5 all time fav bands of any genre and king Von ive been getting hard into as someone from Chicago hella dope keep it up man👏👏
LOL Now that you said it, that is kinda out there. Thank you.
I see a lot of Babymetal fans rag on fan made compilation videos but this particular one has really been enjoyed by a lot of reactors lately. I like it for showing the band solos, different awesome stage sets, different costumes of the girls, and great crowd shots. Sure, there are bad compilations out there but this is a good one and serves it's purpose well of avoiding getting blocked by Amuse.
I really enjoyed the video.
@@SixxDaze Me too, and I really enjoyed your reaction. Subscribed!
THANK YOU!
The only thing that really gets me about fan compilation videos is when they show close up shots during a solo that don't match the solo, sometimes not even a close up on the same guitarist. It's jarring to watch a close up of a guitarist doing one thing when something completely different is happening in the audio.
@@rantingrodent416 Yeah that's my only real complaint about this compilation. Especially during Mikio's solo. I wish they had stuck with the original visuals during the solos. But maybe just that little thing would have gotten it blocked. Who knows.
Loved this video! Just like all the others. Take care man!
Thank you!
Ahhh, the young Padawan learner understands
as i fellow musician, i say they are too good. keep diggin bro
I love the contrast of them - a true heavy metal and a million smiles. I recommend all the songs, but for a start try "Headbanger - Legend 1997 show" or "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan" 🦊🤘 Put your Kitsune up!!! ;-)
They, basically, are a textbook example for "opposites attract"! Regarding this "stupid poppy dance" or rather choreography (because it's far more sophisticated than a mere dance): It often tells the story of their songs.
BABYMETAL live is LIFE
Welcome to The ONE and the BABYMETAL Foxhole, it runs DEEP.
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
🤘🦊🤘
welcome to THE ONE
now, just jump into the deep end and watch BABYMETAL DEATH.
the BABYMETAL Sherpas will be along soon to guide your journey...
You want a great show and instrument playing along with crowd control watch Headbanger live from japan 1997 and also road to resistance live
I have seen dozens of reactions to Baby metal. This is the best one. They are playing a hide an seek type of game with a demon.
Thank you.
@Sixx Daze, you MUST see, if you can, these three live shows:
- BABYMETAL - Live at Tokyo Dome - Red Night and Black Night 2017
- BABYMETAL - LEGEND - METAL GALAXY (2020)
I just saw it and my chin is still on the floor.
A stunned and impressive production, there is nothing like it in the West, belive me.
The form that these little girls controls 55.000 people with a simple gesture is stunning. You must see. Stay safe!
Welcome to the foxhole, remember you can listen to 2 songs without falling in, if you watch 3 you will fall in.
I know you dont want new sugestions, and i dont use instagram, but try BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance live in Japan, the guys from dragonforce helped write it.
Also you might need to cover the video with a watermark when you edit your video.
I really like your reaction which looks honest and confused to see the combination of a cute voice with very heavy music and it works😂😂🔥
Thank you. I only do genuine reactions. It makes some people mad because I don't always say what they want me to say or like what they like. It definitely caught me off guard.
Excellent. One or more of following comments have probably been addressed earlier...
- No two BABYMETAL songs are the same (& there are about 50 worth viewing/reacting to).
- With the possible exceptions of KARATE & MEGITSUNE, BABYMETAL is best viewed LIVE.
- To maximize your viewing experience of BABYMETAL, it helps to follow one of their core philosophies:
"Don't think. FEEL."
- Trust "THE ONE", they will offer sound info & guidance with regard to BABYMETAL.
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
a song about playing hide and seek and tag,,,,,,who knew
In the comments, they've probably said everything, I'll just add that you choose their live shows because they are the best. I am waiting for more, I will gladly take this amazing adventure in discovering their works with you. Personally, I recommend Headbanger live legend 1997
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏃♀️👹
This cute song is about playing a game that is like hide-and-go-seek, tag or blind-man's-bluff.
Pursued by an "Oni"" which is a kind of Japanese Ogre, or demon.
If not a real monster, than someone pretending to be one in order to terrify children.
Good times!
If much of their charm is in the blending of the cute and the brutal, this song is a great example.
They're both turned up to the max.
The recurring "Maada da yo." part that Yui and Moa (the two youngest) sing means "Not ready yet."
They performed this song quite a bit in 2017, but not since.
The last time I saw this one was in Chula Vista, California when they were on tour opening for Korn and Stone Sour.
If you think they are commanding an audience in this video, wait until you've seen 'Road of Resistance' - Live in Japan.
Although you might have to superimpose a semi-transparent logo or something over the video for that one.
Great comment. Thank you.
Great reaction and you get it 🤘🦊🤘😁
🤘😎👍🔥
I say this on every reactor's first BM reaction that is CMIYC - there is no better song to start your journey with their music than this one. The music is heavy AF while the singing and playful choreo is adorable. Always catches folks off guard.
you have a great overview. don't listen to critics.
Just some little girls playing hide & seek with an Oni ( Ogre ) . 😁😈😁
Now that this will inevitably become a Babymetal reaction channel (which is a good thing), you should know that the band's production company, Amuse, do not like reaction videos very much. They are very quick at blocking anything containing copyrighted material. The video you just watched was a fan compilation made to get around this issue, but most such compilations are not that great. You will get recommended many specific performances in the comments, but beware that you might have to add a watermark on the video, or take some other kind of precaution. It is absolutely worth the trouble though. Babymetal are amazing!
Next up:
- "Road of Resistance" (live in Japan)
- "Rondo of Nightmare" with the "Mischief of the Metal Gods" intro
I have American labels that don't like me either and they block me all the time.
Excelente!!! " Wow "... It happens to all of us . Please check the very best song ever By Babymetal. Rondo of NightMare with intro Mischief of Metal Gods . real live Budokan Black Nigth 2015. Lead vocal SuMetal and The KamiBand frighten Tokio! Dont miss the production : Rammstein-Godzilla level.
you made me laugh so hard watching this reaction
That’s awesome! I love making people laugh.
Another purist converted perhaps? I used to be one and now I am at the bottom of the Fox Hole buying every merch and slaving my soul ;and wallet to the Fox God aka Koba. Please react to live performances of BM: 1: Headbanger live at Legend 1997 2: Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of the God intro 3: Ijime Dame Zetai (live)... 4: Death...Legend 1997
Headbanger Live at Legend is on my list.
@@SixxDaze My all time fave BM song
Great first reaction. Got to say that's an odd choice as a first reaction song to Babymetal. Don't think I've ever heard anyone start with 'Catch Me If You Can'. First time I've seen your channel and I'm surprised you have no reactions to the Japanese music scene yet. You're in for a treat if you decide to go that direction! Babymetal, Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nemophila, Trident, ONE OK ROCK, BiSH, the list is endless! All different styles and genres, but all amazing bands! Japan is killing it musically at the moment and you need to jump on the ride!
I reacted to it because someone suggested it. I rarely pick songs and I never pick songs from artists that I do not know. I definitely want to hear more of these Japanese artists!
Most common words when reacting to BABYMETAL: phenomenal, epic, performance, stage presence, crowd control, voice and dance. WTF, dude, and bro do not apply. Know what I'm sayin! LOL
no no no .... you don't get it but the comment section will have the simple explanation why they called BABYMETAL.
anyway .... they have 40+ songs and not single one of them sound the same so if you decide to continue , do enjoy your journey forward into BABYMETAL Universe.
YEs, someone explained it.
it's BABYMETAL because they started at 14 and the youngest was 12 and it's been going on for 10 years this year.
BabyMetal - Headbanger legend 1997 next please.
I have already shot my next BABYMETAL reaction. Headbanger will be the next one after the one I will release either Monday or Tuesday.
Excellent first reaction, and this is a great song for a first encounter, too. It is probably the one that is the most seamless and extreme mixture of their cute and metal aspects, and most performances of this song have a Kamiband solo intro like this one. The only thing that's really missing here is that there's not much room for Su-metal to show off her vocal talent in this song. I'm not an Instagram person, but I trust the Babymetal fans that are to point you in a good direction.
Enjoy the ride. They'll continue to surprise you, during a song, and between songs. It's one of my favourite things about them.
Thank you. I am looking forward to the journey.
Hey, first time viewer and I loved your reaction, I will have to take a trip back through some of your reactions. Your Insta is going to blow up with suggestions I think, there won't be any of 'The One" (Babymetal fans)' who closed your reaction before the end.
Babymetal polarizes people, you either love them, or you don't. BM have a large catalogue and each song is very different. While Babymetal's lyrics and dance seem light and fluffy, their songs (like the seemingly frivolous "Gimme Chocolate") are often rooted in messages of self-empowerment, critique of patriarchal and gender biased societal norms and themes of Japanese culture and tradition. This is no lightweight outfit.
Welcome to the Foxhole.
Thank you.
I'm glad it took you by surprise ! Even more so that you liked it. My mind was turned upside down when I discovered them.
I also can't help but notice you're wearing a Guns'N'Roses shirt. Were you aware that BABYMETAL opened for them in January 2017 during GNR's tour in Japan ? If you google them you'll find a few nice pictures of them together ;).
I was pleasantly surprised. I really do like them. Yes, several people have told me about that. I will be releasing my next reaction for them on Monday.
@@SixxDaze Yes I'm sorry I read some of the comments only after writing my own. Ah well atleast it helps the algorithm. It's not every day we get a genuine reaction from someone who has no idea what he's stepping into.
I hope some of the overly enthusiastic fans in the comments section do not put you off ! Enjoy the ride (and I'll be interested aswell if you follow up into the Japanese rock/metal scene as there are a lot of gems there for you to discover).
Cheers ;)
@demOn It’s all good, it happens. So far, the fans have been amazing. I love the enthusiasm, how informative they are and how polite they are. I am sure this is going to be a fun and amazing journey. And, yes, it does help the algorithm.
You opened Pandora's Box, mate...enjoy the ride
Wow, wow, wow...is pretty much what I said as well...when I saw them for the first time 😄
Thank you. I know that I will enjoy it.
I missed them at the Forum - HUGE REGRET 😭
subbed!
you sir are a good reactor. we babymetal fans don't mind if you want to keep pausing the video or the song just to get your thoughts out. we've seen it a million times already!
i suggest that you listen to their song from the self-titled album Megitsune! that's the one song that made a lot of us fell in love with the band and I'm pretty sure you will like it as well. great video!
Thank you and thank you!!
Akatsuki or GJ next please or maybe headbangeeer
More BabyMetal.
Try Ijime dame Zettai” live at Sonisphere 2014. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Welcome to the foxhole that is Babymetal. You'll get plenty of "kitsune" comments, but you'll have to read my comment for the recommendation, sorry no Instagram for me.
They are called Babymetal in part because it's a pun: Babymetal and Heavymetal are written almost exactly the same in Japanese. This is a compilation video and so you don't quite get the full force and continuity of a single live performance. They have been performing since 2010 starting in their early teens and they are now in their early 20s. I recommend you next check out "Headbanger - Legend 1997" and then go onto "Road of Resistance Live in Japan" and if you want your mind totally blown go onto "Tales of the Destinies"...and there's "Trilogy of Death" and "Trilogy of Light"...so much good stuff.
"Catch me if you can" must be the heaviest song ever about tag. In Japan children have a playground game where the taggers are called "Oni" or ogres and Su, Moa and Yui mime running from the ogres in their dance. There are also spring festivals where guys dressed as "oni" visit houses and have to be given food to make then go away. They threaten the children that the will come back if they aren't good,. There is also a mention of "not going out in red shoes" which is a reference to a Japanese children's poem about a young girl that is taken from her parents by foreigners
Babymetal are about metal fun and cuteness, but in most songs there is some darkness just below the surface.
They actually started in Babymetal before they were even teens.
Great reaction!! Welcome down the Foxhole!
I am sorry for laughing at you, but the way you are listening to it, stunned, is the best part. The girls are playing with the ogres in it, but if you let your guard down and watch them thinking that they are cute, you will get caught up and lose your life, please be careful. Please react to them more. Thank you from Japan.
Btw, the background is the Tokyo Sky Tree, right?
Yes, it is. I think so anyway.
Possibly the best reaction I've seen. I so love the multiple 'WTF' moments you have. 😊
Any Babymetal you listen to will probably do this. They take the idea of musical diversity and scrunch it all up and throw it back as hard as they can in a completely different form.
Caught off guard and speechless are common reactions to Babymetal :) Fucking brilliant, indeed! Welcome to the foxhole 🤘🦊🤘 ps. more songs, Headbanger, Rondo of Nightmare (with mischief of Gods intro), Karate, Road of Resistance, Megitsune, Awadama Fever, Kagerou (with band intro) to name but a few. All brilliant, all different.
With a venue that big you get at least two mosh pits. You can catch a glimpse of them in the video.
next i sugest headbanger live legend 1997..
Great Reaction...Welcome to the FOXHOLE...You should try ROAD OF RESISTANCE LIVE...

Welcome to the FoxHole.
🤘😎🤘 Thank you!
Good reaction. You've bought the ticket, now take the ride!
They are the exact opposite of a one trick pony. They literally have a couple of dozen songs that good. Nobody has suggested any Black Babymetal (just Yui and Moa) songs: Song 4, Onedari Daisakusen, GJ! and Sis. Anger.
You're a musician so Tales of the Destinies will blow your mind. THE ONE will be with you.
I’m excited to take the ride. I added Tales of the Destinies to my list. I will check out Black BabyMetal.
It is a play on the words "heavy metal", as, in Japanese, the word "baby" (ベビー bebī ) rhymes with "heavy" (ヘビー hebī ).
❤❤❤❤❤🤘🦊
It's not only because the girls were so young, the main reason behind the name BABYMETAL is it's the birth of a new genre of metal that is Kawai Metal (Cute Metal) BABYMETAL is so unique and gave freshness to Metal. Their live performances are all EPIC. Their talents and hardwork are way beyond our imagination. Please react to "Karate" Live at Download 2016. Metal Goddess QUEEN SU-METAL ❤️ Metal Princess MOAMETAL 😍 Metal Princess YUIMETAL 😍 Kami Band 🔥 Avengers 😍 ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
They are playing hide and seek with a demon. Hence the cool dance
this band is god. or in your words "fucking brilliant" and you sir are correct. lol
For your next reactions, I suggest these live performances! Preferrably in this order:
1) BABYMETAL | Headbanger!!「ヘドバンギャー!!」| LIVE at Legend 1997 (HQ)
ruclips.net/video/r-2IY10k9KM/видео.html
2) Babymetal - Akatsuki Unfinished - Widescreen with English Subs
ruclips.net/video/nwsinmxTxbo/видео.html
3) BABYMETAL | BABYMETAL DEATH | LIVE at Legend 1997 (HQ) [Intro subtitled]
ruclips.net/video/1AvTxXXuBi4/видео.html
Please use these specific links. They're high quality and the last two have subtitles (remember to turn them on!). Sorry, the first one has no subtitles but don't worry about it. They're all from the "Legend 1997" concert from December 2013, celebrating Su's 16th birthday. The 1997 is the year she was born.
BTW, I did watch to the end but I do not have Instagram. Plus in the video you said you wanted more Babymetal songs so here they are! Also, what's a "farm list"?
up
@sleepingfordays My farm list is my play list that I listen to while working out on the farm. I only put songs that I REALLY like on it to keep me awake. I fall asleep a lot on the tractor when I get too bored or comfortable. So my play list must be awesome.
