Babymetal have always been treated very well in the UK. In fact, their breakout moment happened in the UK in 2014 at the Sonisphere festival. They were all but unknown outside of Asia except for one viral video on RUclips that was very polarizing to some metal-heads. Regardless though, there was so much buzz around them that they were moved from a side stage to opening the main stage. Rumors were that there were a lot of hardcore metal-heads that were not happy that this gimmicky Japanese band of teenage girls was going to be playing at their metal festival, so they were going to boo them off the stage or throw bottles at them. All that went right out the window when they hit the stage. They kicked so much ass in their 30 minute set that not only was the crowd of 60,000+ all jumping and moshing, but begging for more as they left the stage. It was this performance that put them on the world stage as a legitimate metal act, and they have considered the UK their second home since then.
Here is a video of the final song from that Sonisphere show - ruclips.net/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/видео.html
The UK has always embraced heavy music so this doesn't surprise me.
Truly enjoyed listening to this song and will definitely be reacting to more of their songs very soon.
Thanks for the recommendation.
@@freetobewhoibe 2018 was the worst time for Babymetal. The Kami Band guitarist Mikio died in a tragic accident and Yui Mizuno left the group. Yui was the cutest one, she really could be a very successful model/actress she is that pretty. I am getting off my point. You are seeing Babymetal at their worst in this video. There was a cloud of tragedy hanging over them. Here is a very short spoiler free video with some cute pictures of Yui. ruclips.net/video/G3M9ylD6dEc/видео.html
You are not the first one to get a little emotional during that middle section. I'm not quite sure what it is, but that's one of the great things about BABYMETAL, they tend to evoke all sorts of emotions (primarily happiness, though). I think the choreography plays a huge role in that. The song is about standing together and not giving up after losing a battle. It gets pretty clear once you watch the official music video (which I recommend anyway as it's very well done).
What I find especially fascinating about this song is how well it works both as Metal tune and as a Pop song. That chorus is indeed hard to forget, so catchy!
Download 2016 version should have been the best option to watch first, also the official MV (but that's heavily blocked so be careful), don't get me wrong, i love this one too, but the early blackout at the end, and not knowing the context on this Dark Side era, is why i don't recommend this for first time watch, but at least is live and not a compilation so that's a plus and i'm not complaining at all :)
Don't rush to early material and songs, enjoy them since their beggining with songs like _Megitsune, Iine!, Ijime Dame Zettai, Headbanger!, Rondo Of Nightmare and Onedari Daisakusen._ There will be more songs to choke up, don't worry, they got that power, but also they have so much fun while blasting your ears with metal. 🦊🤘
If that was a bad video to watch then I am in for a real treat because I loved it. Can't wait to hear more of their songs
@@freetobewhoibe For real, there's gonna be more, what you watched there is their "Strong style" performance without any help of lights or personal setup and mininal production, some people like it some not, wait for their "Theatrical style", not saying this is bad, just different and enjoyable too. But watching your reaction again I think if the part when the girls fall down gets you, then that part is missing a little bit in the Download 2016 version, you'll get what I'm saying when you watch that. That's another special thing on them, they try to make something different everytime they performed in different places to make you feel special and memorable. Again not saying this one is bad only not recommend for first time watch since it belongs to another era and a lot of things to explain, like YuiMetal isn't there because she left the group due to healthy issues but they and the fans were waiting for her to return, but that's not what happened, sadly.
Anyway, keep enjoying BabyMetal songs, "The One" will help you, I will try to follow your journey. Peace! 🦊🤘
Cheers Jake. I'll be checking out another song of theirs soon
If you're looking for more Babymetal to react to, especially live versions, check out "BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" on their official RUclips. It's one of their best live performances. Also just a good song in general.
A few people have suggested the song "Road of Resistance" live so I will check that out very soon
@@freetobewhoibe You should know that reactions to many of the videos from their official channel such as that one are prone to get blocked for copyright. You can usually get around it by blurring the video or putting a translucent logo over it, but I thought you should be fairly warned. It certainly is worth the extra effort though. :)
Welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. Sleeping on this band was the biggest mistake many have made. Myself included. They immediately became my favorite band. To ME, they don't have a bad song. Nothing I would skip on all 3 albums. They are the master at crowd interaction and control and before you know it, these girls feel like your family. The Kami band is beyond talented and have great personalities as well. I hope you keep going down the Fox hole. You seen nothing yet. 🤘🦊🤘
Subscribing because I love reliving my first time seeing BABYMETAL and seeing the joy they bring others. Even if they don't become one of your favorites, I have no doubt they will entertain you, make you smile like an idiot, and even tear up a few times.
I enjoyed this song a lot and I will be reacting to more of their songs very soon
Once the initial shock (kids doing metal) is over...you'll find that Babymetal is actually pretty awesome and super unique...
Kawaii Metal was a genre that came into existence 11 years ago in Japan . it's not a Coincidence that BabyMetal have been going for 11 years now .
Kawaii Metal is the idea of BabyMetals manager and producer
Key Kobayashi or Koba Metal .
BabyMetals being performing in the UK since 2014 when they played main stage at Sonisphere .They played Wembley Arena in 2016 and main stage at Download same year .
If that got you in the feels check out
Ijime Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere 2014 and check out Karate at Download 2016. Also Road of Resistance live in Japan.
Just thought i mention that's not your normal BabyMetal mosh pit .
Welcome to the Foxhole 🤘🦊🤘
Awesome reaction. If you got a little emotional on this, you're in for a good(emotional) ride. Better keep tissues handy on a few. Don't worry, we will not judge ya. We've all gotten emotional at quite a few of their songs/performances.
I am sure it won't be the last time for me
Nice reaction. Moa rising and giving a kick felt rather heroic. Babymetal will bring out the emotions. Mostly happy ones. They have away to make folks feel better even when they're feeling down in the dumps. If your ever feeling in a bad mood and just want to be happy even for a moment. Put on Babymetal. When it comes to Babymetal most of us just do what Su said "Don't Think, Feel". Yes it's a take on the Bruce Lee quote but hey if your gonna quote someone Bruce Lee is a good one. I forget which movie it's from but in the scene a student throws a kick for him. Bruce ask him what he felt about it. When the students says "let me think". Bruce smacks him in the head and says "there's No Thinking, Only Feeling". Bruce Lee fans ran around saying that for years. Su brought it back. It works really well for their songs. Folks can get hung up on the lyrics or that it's not in a language they understand. But what's important is how did it make you feel. The video going blank was due to the festival recording messing up. Somebody should be fined for that. Always watch Babymetal to the end. Babymetal has a lot of great festival appearances but the audio and video isn't always the best. They still put on a great show. Enjoy your journey through the Babymetal galaxy of music.
I think I know the scene on the Bruce Lee film you are talking about. I think it was from Enter the Dragon.
Really enjoyed this song and can't wait to hear more of their songs
Now that you have seen Karate live, you must check out the music video for Karate. It's one of the most innovative production-wise I've ever seen. It also was done when Yui-Metal was still with the group. Welcome to Th e Foxhole !
The music video will give you a much clearer idea of the theme of the song, with an interesting twist at the end.
I will check it out for sure and I will be reacting to more of their songs very soon
You come across like a guy that needed a dent in his masculinity. And you got it Babymetal style. The idea of "kids doing metal" is based on the presumption there is something wrong with that. But Babymetal hits that approach far below the belt. You simply cannot imagine the freshness, the fun and the pure artistry of their live concerts, in your head. It's not that now they got older, they got better...Sure it is different now, but they were highly impressive from the very beginning.
That moment you felt of being charmed by them runs through everything they did. In every performance they did there are moments you can feel touched to the core. When I first saw them doing Sonisphere 2014, Ijime Dame, Zettai I could not believe what I was seeing. The sheer guts of these "kids" in front of 65.000 metalheads. I bawled my eyes out and I'm a biker in his sixties.
What I'm saying is, it's sometimes good to wake up from our hard shell. And what they do is the perfect recipe to make that happen, lol!
I enjoyed this song a lot and I welcome more dents in my masculinity. A new fan here for sure and I will be checking out more of their songs very soon
They were once "kids doing metal". And guess what? Many years ago other groups were just kids too. It's thanks to these "kids" that I'm now a big metal fan. From Motörhead to Cradle of filth and Dhimmu Borgir. I'm told by. Metal head friends that Babymetal gave the metal scene the big kick up the arse that it needed.
Enjoy your BM journey.
Kitsunes up

That long single note at the end that Su sings always gets me. It's an uplifting song about overcoming adversity so it's good that it moves us all. Don't be embarrassed! We've all been moved many times by the girls, for a number of reasons. Babymetal live are an experience not to be missed. Oh, and if you have any doubts about their Metal credentials, try the Legend 97 version of 'BABYMETAL Death', (ruclips.net/video/VE34mRpi6Qk/видео.html ) which is as heavyAF finale to a show as anything I've seen Maiden, Metallica and Rammstein finish a gig with! My first Metal gig was Sabbath in 76 and Babymetal was my last in 2020 and Kawaii Metal (Cute Metal) is the most original Metal genre since forever! Subscribed to watch your fall down the Fox Hole. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
Cheers Tony. If their other songs are as good as this then I think I am going to have a great time discovering it.
@@freetobewhoibe it's more of a performance with no singing worth watching. 🤘🦊🤘
@@freetobewhoibe oh, they're much better than this! Seriously. Truly epic! Road of Resistance live in Japan and Ijime, Dame, Zettai at Sonisphere 2014 are EpicAF. Welcome to the Fox Hole...it's funAF down here!
@@tonygriffin_ 🤘🦊🤘
@@freetobewhoibe If I may make a suggestion, the last three songs of the Legend 1997 concert together make an incredible experience. Babymetal Death, which Tony suggested, is the final song; the two before it are Headbanger and Akatsuki (Unfinished ver.). How about starting with Headbanger and working your way through all three of those songs?
I'll paste some links to high-quality uploads of each one. They'll be especially useful because both Akatsuki unfinished and Babymetal Death have video intros which are entirely in Japanese, and the versions you'll find just searching them on YT don't have subs.
Headbanger ruclips.net/video/r-2IY10k9KM/видео.html
Akatsuki unfinished ruclips.net/video/a7KIh9UQghA/видео.html
Babymetal Death ruclips.net/video/VE34mRpi6Qk/видео.html
If you like a heavy riff with a catchy chorus you are going to love Babymetal.
I think you're right
Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy - and yes don't worry, that video goes black towards the end, it was nothing you did. The video for 'Distortion' live at Download 2018 is a good one.
2018 was their 'dark side' tour, so the costumes had changed (you will see what I mean when you watch earlier performances) and as Yui wasn't touring (she was still a member of the band, but was still trying to recover from whatever was wrong) Su and Moa were supported by the two dancers you saw in this one (they were affectionately dubbed 'Muscle Metal' by the fans).
I'm sure we can fill you in on their history, who is who, what each song is about etc as you go on ... so I'll resist adding my usual wall of text for now (much to a lot of peoples' relief I'm sure).
As you read "Kawaii Metal was pioneered in the early 2010s" ... BABYMETAL formed in 2010.
Their name does put some people off but 'BABYMETAL' is not about their age (although when they started in 2010 they were aged 12 and 11 so it probably did play a part too). The name was chosen for two reasons:
- to symbolize that they gave birth to a new genre of metal music (kawaii metal)
- because the writing (and pronunciation) in Japanese is nearly identical to the writing of "heavy metal" (and they love a pun):
BABYMETAL = ベビメタル (be-bi-me-ta-ru)
heavy metal = ヘビメタル (he-bi-me-ta-ru)
I'll add my vote to 'Headbanger' live at Legend 1997 - and to every other song that has been or will be recommended (but leave 'Gimme Chocolate' until you're a few songs in - unless you do a proper live version and not the official video) ... and I'm looking forward to what you make of 'Road of Resistance' as you've said that will be next - I hope you like DragonForce as Herman Li and Sam Totman wrote the guitar arrangements for that one.
I do enjoy Dragonforce so I am looking forward to hearing that one
I love Babymetal 🤙🏼
Was genuinely shocked at how much this one got me in the feels
😂
@@freetobewhoibe check out "Road to resistance" live version, that gets me at the end it's fucking epic!
Will do man. I'll make sure I give your channel a shout out as well \m/
Hello @freetobewhoibe , Babymetal has 3 cds and about 20 dvd/blue ray live. I assure you they are all amazing. They were created to perform live. There is only one band that can match Babymetal in performance live and production, and that is Rammstein.
more babymetal..
Will do
We appreciate your honesty, and I too get emotional, especially with BABYMETAL songs. Please never judge a book by it's cover or title. If you read your comments pay special attention to Rick Wagner and Grington? they are the best when it comes to BABYMETAL. You have a lot of catching up to do! Enjoy your journey if you chose to go down the foxhole!
I can assure you that I will be checking out more of their songs very soon
I've been following your Lovebites stuff and I'm very happy you finally reached to Babymetal. Yeah don't be ashamed, Su does that to people's hearts, I don't know how she does but she does xD
Loved this performance and I am looking forward to hearing more of their songs
They have a lot of amazing songs! I'm sure they're all suggested below already! My personal favorites are 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai', 'No rain, No rainbow' and 'Headbanger'... and 'Gimmie chocolate'... and... yeah... there's more!
I will definitely be reacting to more of their songs very soon
Nice & welcome and thanks from Japan 有難う💛。It is rare case that people started BABYMETAL with their "Dark Side Era in 2018"! That may be regarded as chrysalis (contentious but notable) for the band and the girls are now beautiful butterflies visually and musically. (They had been excellent in the past, of course)
BABYMETAL call UK as their "second home. They actually performed as many as 4 times in the 17 performance during their 2020 European tour covering 11 countries.
Now in 2021, They performed this song in each and every concert of 10 BABYMETAL Budokan. I witnessed the shows. Don't worry you are not only one who felt emotional every time when Su help Moa stand up from the floor.
I am not surprised to hear that the UK is like a second home to them. We have always embraced heavy music and this is no exception.
Really enjoyed this song and I will check out more of their songs very soon
Their 2 best official MV are "Megitsune" and "Karate". As to live, "Road of Resistance", "Headbanger, Legend of 1997", "Pa Pa Ya" and Black Babymetal's "Sis Anger".
The song is about over coming your inner demons. They were the first Japanese Group/Band to perform in Wembley Arena, a sellout and broke the record for merchandise sold. They began when they were 13 (Su) and 11 (Moa and Yui).
They have toured with Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, and Lady Gaga. Their favorite band "Metallica, of course" to quote Moa.
I am going to check out the live version of Road of Resistance next
I was in the same boat as you really. Someone showed me 'Gimme Chocolate' years ago and I just laughed it off as a gimmick thing. Then another friend told me to just give this song a listen and I was hooked. Now I'm fully down the foxhole and Babymetal are one of the greatest, most unique bands that have ever existed imo. Not many bands can get you headbanging and bawling your eyes out at the same show. My only advice is just check out everything they do. They don't stick to a specific genre from one song to a next, so you'll find something you love somewhere! Kitsunes Up! #notacult
I enjoyed this song WAY more than I expected to. I am looking forward to hearing more of their songs.
Babymetal's theatrical elements are so good, they give me chills every single time. If you are ready to travel down the Foxhole, you could start by checking out Headbangerr or Rondo of Nightmare (Budokan Black Night) or Babymetal Death (for that wtf factor). There are some videos that get copyrighted instantly so you have to choose carefully. But every one of their songs are unique and so well produced, I would recommend listening to every single one of them.
More Babymetal please🤘🦊🤘
Babymetal - Road of Resistance Live in Japan
Babymetal - Ijime, Dame, Zettai Live at Sonisphere 2014
Babymetal - Headbanger Live
I will definitely be reacting to more of their songs very soon
BABYMETAL are backed by professional musicians known as the Kami band. The Kami band has changed over the years and more recently have been more up front. If you want to see them featured check out the live video for Rondo of Nightmare with the God's of Mischief intro. The intro is purely instrumental and each member gets a solo 🤘😊🤘
Babymetal always brings a smile on my face.. Cute Girls with a hell of a backing band..
Great reaction welcome to the fox hole next song I suggest is headbanger legend 1997 FYI 1997 was when queen Su was born the concert was to celebrate her 16th birthday and headbanger is an epic performance 🤘🦊🤘
Those girls have a way of hitting you in the feels, it is a common reaction. The dance is part of the emotion, they all come and help their friend and join together in unity then come out kicking. They have a certain power to them. The song is about fighting adversity, when life knocks you down and everything seems too hard so you're hurt and crying, its about standing up and fighting on, helping each other through the hard times.
I certainly felt it that's for sure
Just a tip... The Babymetal Reactors Resource channel has everything you want/need for a great reaction. All of his vids are watermarked ( To help get past the copyright trolls.), and in most cases have lyrics. You won't find any compilations there. Everything is taken from live performances. Cheers.
Thanks for the info 🤘
@@freetobewhoibe I'll second yolandria's recommendation, that resource also has songs and special performances you can't find elsewhere on RUclips. The ideal way to utilize it is to watch and react to the un-watermarked version (linked there) while using the watermarked version in your reaction.
I don't care who you are, BabyMetal will make you emotional at some point. Usually at several points. And you're not going to understand why exactly, but it never matters. Best just to go with it and ride the feels. 🤘🦊🤘 Welcome to the Fox Hole.
I am looking forward to it
Now You Know!!
When you hear the term "Underestimate" it was always associated with Babymetal. And now they may be done as a group..at least in its present form as they are now on "Hiatus" after completing their 10 year anniversary concert events (10 full shows) at the famed Nippon Budokan!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
One of the primary goals of their choreography and theatrics is to overcome the language barrier and communicate the essential meaning of their songs to people anywhere in the world. So, mission accomplished this time! 😀
Feeling something during their "story" choreo doesn't make you a pussy, it just makes you a well rounded human being and not some 'IT'S NOT METAL BECAUSE IT'S NOT A BUNCH OF OLD BLOKES WITH TATTOOS LOOKING BORED" elitest. I started with metal in 1990 with Iron Maiden and still feel that Babymetal are the freshest thing in metal in decades. Adds some fun to the rawk. As far as aa recommendation - try Catch Me If You Can. It goes HARD and the choreo is a lot of fun.
I enjoyed this song a lot and was surprised how much it got to me. I'm looking forward to hearing more of their songs very soon
Nice reaction man! Not the first time Babymetal got some middle age guy tear up lol
Headbanger! Or Megitsune should be the next songs to check out
Road of Resistance is also good though but may be get a feel of all 3 Babymetal girls in front first with Headbanger or Megitsune
Also you made a good choice by choosing Live over MV (although Karate and Megitsune are the only 2 songs of Babymetal whose musical video is worth checking out)
Just heads up- Avoid fan made compilations;)
Cheers Vedant. I think I am going to check out Road of Resistance next as a lot of people have requested it
If you like heavy rifts, amazing clean vocals and theatrics, then BABYMETAL is your thing. Please react to more.
Next you can watch Road of Resistance.
I'll be checking that song out soon
待ってました！でも残念ながらこれは本来の姿ではないんですよ。
仕事でどん底に落ちた時にこの歌詞に励まされて今の私がいます。
Stay strong!
BABYMETAL is one of a kind unique band and also they're the most hardworking band out there. They're just magical and their performances are all EPIC. Please react to more songs of them. Each of their songs sounds different and they blend many genres and make it successful as well. If possible, please react to same song Karate, Live at Download 2016 with more crowd interaction. You'll get more emotional in that. Metal Goddess QUEEN SU-METAL ❤️ Metal Princess MOAMETAL 😍 Metal Princess YUIMETAL 😍 Kami Band 🔥 Avengers 😍 ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘 #FOREVER THE ONE #STAIRWAY TO LIVING LEGEND
I recomend you to watch the official musicvideo for Karate as it gives the song some context.
I've dismissed them for years and now I wish I could time travel so I could slap my old self back very hard to check them out sooner. Very normal feeling amongst fans.
I may have dismissed them in the past but I get to listen for the first time now and that is a good thing \m/
⚡ 💀 💕 / 👻 👻 👻
There's a good reason this was the featured single from the second album, 'Metal Resistance' (2016).
They made a lot of friends among other groups by playing a bunch of metal festivals, and this song converted quite a few.
As is usually the case, the riffs are heavier live.
Like a lot of BABYMETAL songs, this one has a positive message about facing life's challenges.
Let me add a vote for 'Rondo of Nightmare', one of Su's solo songs.
This 2014 Budokan Black Night version, with a short instrumental lead-in by their live Kami Band, is a classic: ruclips.net/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/видео.html
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out on the channel very soon
Yeah, that channel's upload of that performance ends blacked out for some reason. There should be a warning in the title or description box. There are other uploads on youtube of that same exact video that do show the rest of the performance. Great reaction still!🤘🦊🤘
Thanks very much EMB
Good reaction. I encourage you to watch "Road of Resistance live in Japan" so you can see what 17 and 15 year old girls can ride you. It is probably one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Regarding the song, the part where they are on the ground I interpret it as that although the situation may bring you down, you should not give up. And that with the help of your friends you can face everything. Babymetal, especially in its beginnings, wrote songs aimed at young people, especially girls between 10 and 15 years old.
Another song you might want to check out is "Ijime Dame Zetai" that they played at Sonisphere 2014, whose performance catapulted them into the West. There if the dancers are really fighting the whole song (it's a song against bullying)
It’s interesting how often people declare they dislike something they’ve never tried.
You should go back to their early stuff, when the girls were very young. I recommend Megitsune (Minx), the MV. Onondari Dai Sakusen will resonate with anyone who has raised a daughter. Road of Resistance is their most epic song. So many other good ones, spanning a variety of styles.
I think I am going to check out Road of Resistance next as it's been heavily requested. I am looking forward to it
@@freetobewhoibe You will definitely need to cover the video of Road of Resistance with some kind of watermark to prevent your reaction from being blocked. The audio will be fine.
@@freetobewhoibe good call. (Live in Japan is the one.)
That's the power of our queen and the Fox God. Welcome to the foxhole 🦊🤘
Welcome to Babymetal!
#notacult
Nice Reaction :--) but "Be Warned !"
Once You let them Grow on You , You'll Never Gonna Be Able to Get Rid of Them ! ;-)
''BABYMETAL''' (One word !) refers to "the birth of a new kind of Metal, they call it 'Kawaii Metal'' ("Cute Metal" ;-)
(The name in fact has nothing to do with the age of the girls, it is often thought of when looking at their previous work )
"Kawaii Metal" is Mix of J-Pop & "Every" kind of Metal !!
Because of the Mix they will never bore you !!
(That is if your open to Metal Sub-Genres because they have almost every metal genre in their repertoire ;-)
(+/- 50 songs)
So If you're willing to do More BABYMETAL?
Just be prepared & Buckle up !!!
Because your in it for A Hell of a Ride ;-)
I enjoyed this song a lot and will react to more of their songs very soon
If that "kick" part got you emotional just wait till you watch their "Akatsuki - Unfinished", "No Rain No Rainbow", and "The One" videos. Especially the "Stairway to Living Legend" version of their song "The One". Those videos had me feeling like a 56 year old softy. The emotion for me though comes from a sense of pride. It's not really because the songs are sad. I feel proud of these girls and this band. I mention in one of my reactions that I feel like a proud grandpa.
Great reaction.
Actually if you want to see Japanese kids playing metal you should react to Asterism, they are an instrumental metal band but amazing musicians
Asterism are great. HAL-CA is a force of nature.
They signed with Amuse, Inc. (BABYMETAL's parent company) early last year.
And that's one of the LESS emotional performances of Karate!
I reckon I'm older than you , mate, and this song still chokes me up.
Now that you've done Band-Maid, Lovebites, Maximum the Hormone, Nemophila and BABYMETAL, it's time to check out another great Japanese metal band with top notch members. I'm speaking of Unlucky Morpheus! Their song Black Pentagram is a great song to start with, but in my opinion, not their best 🤘😊🤘
They are on my list and I will get to them soon mate.
Good react man! I really love this song. It is number 2 in my top 10 of Babymetal. Simply amazing! I hope to continue seeing reactions from Babymetal on your channel! Catch me if you can whit the Kami Band intro is just great! See you in the next! 🤘🦊🔥🔥🔥
I will definitely be reacting to more of their music very soon
@@freetobewhoibe great! 🤟🏻
Thanks to babymetal to open my eyes of japan music can be. Still waiting for Sokoninaru song though in this channel. 3 piece prog math core band from japan
Don't worry. I'll be getting to them soon enough
Nice reaction to BABYMETAL. Check out, BABYMETAL Death Legend 1997 ( Complete ). "GUARANTEED TO BLOW YOUR MIND"🔥💯✌️&❤️
Cheers Robert. I will be checking out more of their music for sure. Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would
That was excellent, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Karate isn't one of my favorite Babymetal tracks, but it's still a great song and I do really like the lyrical themes of overcoming oneself - I think that's something we can all relate to in some ways, and the choreography/performance does such a good job of conveying the message that you picked up on it emotionally even without being able to understand the lyrics. That's part of what makes Babymetal so great. :)
I look forward to seeing more from you. I'd recommend Headbanger live at Legend 1997 or Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan Black Night for your next reaction. The latter is especially appropriate for the season!
Glad you enjoyed the reaction and thanks for the recommendations. I will check out more of their songs very soon.
Nice one, thanks and welcome to BABYMETAL universe!
2018 was an odd year for BABYMETAL for some reasons you will find soon. That caused some changes to the formation, costumes, etc. and not always very well accepted.
About "Karate", yes, it's basically on the poppier side although that initial riff comes from nowhere and hits you hard.
I'd like to suggest you something earlier... and also heavier: "Headbanger" (Live at Legend 1997): ruclips.net/video/QEsOaMbNFww/видео.html
Until next time!
Not a pussy mate, just a person who can be touched by awesome music. By now I imagine you've seen the official video and seen what this song is about. It hits you in the feels and is such an uplifting song. Beautifully written and performed. Excellent reaction, nice analysis, thanks again for your time and effort.
This is from the dark year of BabyMetal, just after Yui left and the death of their guitarist Mikio Fujioka If you react to the music video you'll understand the fight scenes
Thanks for letting me know Ernest.
I really enjoyed their first album. Super fun. My favourite track is Doki Doki Morning, perfect mix of super pop and super heavy!
I am truly taken aback at how much I enjoyed this song. Genuinely got me right in the feels. My estrogen levels seem to be increasing by the day 😂
What is the song about? Our worst enemy is ourselves. What holds us back more than anything is ourselves. Defeat those elements of yourself that hold you back and you can do anything.... and that's what this song is about. Overcoming yourself. As for the emotion? That's Babymetal. I have no clue how they do it, but they do it. And you don't have to be an emotional wreck for it to occur.
Saying that Babymetal is a Kawaii Metal group is like saying that Rogue is a Rogue-like game. Or that Battle Royale is a Battle Royale movie. They invented the genre. They named it. It was a genre invented to describe them after they already existed :) I actually don't think the genre existed until about 2014. Maybe they retroactively invented it back to Babymetal's formation in Oct 2010.
I recommend 'Headbanger' live at Legend of 1997. Legend of 1997 was a concert on Dec 21 2013 in honor of Suzuka Nakamoto who was born in 1997. It was the day after her 16th birthday. 16 is not actually a big birthday in Japan. The big ones are 15 and 20. But it was still a birthday party. :)
Thanks for the suggestion. I think I am going to react to Road of Resistance next as it has been requested by a lot of people but I will check out Headabanger after that
@@freetobewhoibe - RoR was cowritten by Dragonforce. So it depends on if you like power metal or not :) Personally i think power metal sounds like hot garbage. But Babymetal performs the hell out of it.
They were my first idol's before i bacame an KPOP fan, i was a fan of them since 6 or 7? im a fan and always will be.🥺🖤 i miss my childhood please😭
BabyMetal sometimes get you emotional, it’s like watching your daughter/niece kicking ass on stage and you feel proud of them and it hits you in the feels. Check out Ijime dame Zettai live and sonisphere 2014(official)
🔥🦊🔥
I would argue that Babymetal is more of an idol-act with metal music than an metal-act, but what's really important is that the music is awesome! It is understandable that some people where unshure of how to react when they first came to the scene, but by now I think most people who've given them a chance have realised that both the girls and their band are really damn talented! Songs like Karate, Megitsune, Kagerou and Distortion kick ass and where amazing live! I had the pleasure of watching them play live at a medium-sized stage in Oslo right before lockdown started, and it was a ton of fun. It's really fun to see your reactions to both these and the other bands you've looked at recently, and I hope you'll react to more. :)
Cheers Erik. I will be checking out more of their music very soon
There's no crying in metal!!!1111 🤣🤘
Their show in download(with yui) has a best scene. It rain so much and it add spice to their song.
ベビーメタルのライブいいでしょ！
It is indeed
Don't feel too bad about being emotional. A friend in Finland sen me a link to Doki Doki Morning way back when it was new, so following them through the years and seeing their sudden promotion to main stage Sonisphere and the reaction to Ijime, Dame, Zettai there were definitely some tears of happiness as they made their big international breakthrough. Even today there is at least one tear watching that video.
No worries at all. Baby metal is an experience. The bottom line is what you feel after the experience. Bottom line. Never excuse those girls!!!!!!!😉👍
Babymetal is not a cult ;)
🍅🍅🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Nothing wrong with getting emotional when listening to Babymetal.
Got me right in the feels \m/
Nice reaction. I do like these japanese rock/metal reactions on your channel. If you want to discover some more than I'm personally recommending you to check another great band called 'Ningen Isu' and their song 'Heartless Scat' (they are doing metal things since 1990 so they are true metal veterans)
Thanks for the recommendation bro. I will check it out soon
Excelente !!! BabyMetal They touch deep in your soul ,your heart, brain, body,skin, eyes. Never disappoint
Please check DEATH Live performance 2013 Legend 1997 . Increible show ,brutal sound.
Lol Babymetal does stuff to people. I am one of them⚡️👊🏽
Me too it would seem
You made an angry face at me, quite metal! The live version of "Gimme Chocolate" is really good. The Kami band is awesome.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check it out soon
Osu!! 🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘
That was a very genuine reaction that they do have a way of bringing out different feelings the first time I listen to them I didn't know what to think of them but but now I can't get enough of them all I can say is welcome to the foxhole it's a very interesting journey indeed the other live shows are pretty epic I can just imagine how fun it would be to actually see one live yeah they have definitely rewritten the book of metal that's for sure put a whole new perspective on what people think and how they see the genre which has been really nice cuz it's actually given a change to the same old same old music scene but anyway I hope you enjoy your journey and welcome
Cant wait to see more Babymetal from ya!
I will be reacting to Road of Resistance (live) next
❤️
🤘🤘🤘
I get emotional listening to Starlight! No worries my dude!
Sadly you picked the worst video out of the 3, since this one it has that blank screen for some time... The MV is really good, won a few awards for best Metal Video in Japan in 2016, and the 2016 Download had the original lineup and some nice crowd interaction! Oh well, glad you enjoyed it :D
This was in 2018, so they were adults, but they started as kids, but the music was always top notch! But probably it was a bit more poppy and not so well blended at the beginning! Even thought I enjoy a lot their early songs ;)
If you want to get an idea of how they started, there are their 2 official MV that are pretty safe to react to, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine".
They don't stick to 1 single music genre, but they have experienced a lot. I read that you like progressive music, so you should definitely check "Tales of the Destinies" from them! They only performed it live once in 2016, and you can find the video if you look for the Babymetal Reactor Resource channel, that has a video with link to live performance that have transparent logos on top so that they are safe to react to. Some of those videos also have subtitles!
Have fun exploring them :)
Really enjoying your reactions. Thx
GREAT reaction!!!
Well the thing I like about babymetal is the thing that put you off in the first place. They are becoming more and more like a generic metal band (and there's nothing wrong with it I'll still support them) but their classic selves are way "better"
Worry not. Babymetal has been known to do just that.
2018 was bad year for band. Because one of girls leave (health problems) and one of the guitarists died . Best years of band was 2014-2016 and 2019-2021
love maometal
Baby metal Destinies really good
Thanks Jason
Megitsune, headbanger, papaya all good to
Unfortunately you managed to pick out one of their worst performances.. You should check out their performance at Sonisphere 2014. Also, don't get embarrassed that you got emotional. That's what Babymetal does. Even their most hype song makes people emotional. Su-Metal can convey emotion in a way that nobody else can do.
If that was one of their worst performances then I am in for a real treat because I loved it
@@freetobewhoibe Oh yeah it's still good, it's Babymetal after all, but try the same song from Download UK 2016 (I think this one is from Download Australia maybe?) Or the song Ijime Dame Zettai from Sonisphere 2014. Almost any performance from 2018 is seen as sub-par by fans, as it's from a transition period where they were trying to recover from the departure of one of their core members.
1st album is good coming from a guy that likes obituary
I will be checking out more of their music soon
Not one of the best versions of it tbh - but good reaction - things were a bit of a mess with them at that time
Good reaction but this video is really bad. Its not showing how they normally perform. This is after yui left so they started this weird 4+women combo+covering faces. Luckyli this was only for limited period of time. They always perform 3 of them. Su -main vocals/dance and moa/yui backing vocals/dance. After yui left they rotate 3 girls they call them "avengers" And they take yui place, but they dont sing. They only dance. Su and moa are only singers. Anyway youtube blocking like 90% of their live shows so only few of them are still on. I have almost all their blurays with live shows and this video is probably worst i have seen lol. From what is avalaible on youtube go for ijime dame zettai Sonisphere live, Road of resistance live japan, headbanger 1997, megitsune 1997.And i think headbanger and megitsune videos are also avalaible from budokan night. But yeah not much to choose from because almost all their good live songs are blocked.
If this is a bad performance then I am in for a real treat because I really enjoyed this. I am going to check out Road of Resistance (live) next
