Babymetal is what would happen if you mix the Disney Channel, Metallica, and Anime all together. Surprisingly, the blending of the different genres works quite well and sounds amazingly good.
Welcome to Babymetal! They have actually been around since 2010 and started when Su(lead vocal) was 12 and Moa & Yui were 11 years old. Sadly Yui is no longer with them. They just celebrated their 10 year anniversary with a huge series of concerts. If you go on I'd be interested to see you do a current song like PA PA YA.
@@tpndgo2061 The "Baby" part does not referred to their age but rather to a "New Born Genre" of Heavy Metal called 'Kawaii(cute) Metal'. Though it seems that everything Babymetal does is based in Duality and may have, just a little bit, referred to their age!! LoL!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
@@watcher2554 it's also a play on words, a short of Japanese pun. "Baby" and "heavy" look nearly identical in Japanese. Sorry of how they used to lisp desu when they introduced themselves to make it sound like "death".
Babymetal came out in 2010. It was a subunit of Sakura Gakuin show for the growth of young women specifically age groups of 10-15. In 2012 the leadsinger Su-metal graduated and Babymetal became an independent label in 2013. The two younger dancers Yuimetal and Moametal would pull double duty for a couple more years til 2015 at Sakura Gakuin as well as performing with Babymetal, especially as they prepped for a World tour. They toured with many famous international rock and metal bands, metallica, kiss, red hot chilly peppers, guns'n'roses, to name a few. The Give Me Chocolate MV you watched there had a 16yo Su-metal flanked by 15yo Moametal and Yuimetal. In 2014 the younger two were still at Sakura Gakuin. In 2017 Yuimetal left the band due to health problems. 2018 saw Moa and Su seeking out a replacement and they called them the Chosen Seven. The Australian tour had chosen the replacement to be Saya-metal. There was a 8 month hiatus and in late June 2019 Babymetal was back with a new theme, three dancers called the Avengers. Riho-metal was the friend of Su-metal, same age, from Hiroshima. They were both at Actor School Hiroshima but took different career paths. Kano-metal was the youngest and only did a few Japanese concerts. Kano was still at Sakura Gakuin in her final year there. She was also in the J-pop group @OneFive. Momoko-metal graduated Sakura Gakuin a couple years before. All three showed very strong work ethics and able to keep up with high energy choreography that was demanded of them. Su-metal still remained the leadsinger. Moametal became the dance leader. Got to watch out for Moa as she tends to improvise. The Avengers were interchangable, as it was always a surprise who would be chosen. One of the final concerts in 2020 had all five girls on stage. Sadly Covid19 cut several tours short. During 2020 and 2021 Momoko was the only one ofbthe Avengers still in employ. We thought she might have become the permanent replacement. Several concerts were streamed Live during the many Lockdowns. Today Babymetal is on another hiatus. There is a new mystery to be unveiled in late mid-October. Riho had left in 2020 to pursue her theatre career, she done a musical, and had recently a one-woman show with mixed reviews. Kano left in 2019 to be more permanent in her group of OneFive. Momoko left in 2021 at the wake of Babymetal going on hiatus to enter a Korean reality talent show called Girlsplanet. Despite her Global popularity, and that the Korean show is rigged, she was voted out. I am sure it was a good experience for her. The Korean show has had a sudden drop in viewership. We are all waiting with what Babymetal is planning to do next.
Good first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. What was that you said - gimme all the facts? As you asked so nicely (and I'll apologise in advance, this could take a while ... to read). BABYMETAL are Su-metal (now 23) and Moametal (now 22) - the third original member, Yuimetal, sadly left the band in October 2018 having been absent from the stage for the previous 12 months. She had ongoing (and undisclosed) health issues and had not fully recovered so was still unable to perform, so she announced she would be leaving the band and hoped to follow her own long held dreams. Since the start of the 2019 tour Su and Moa have been supported by three dancers (the Avengers) who take turns to dance in the third spot (they do not have any vocals so far). They are Kano, Riho and Momoko, but it looks like Riho and Kano have moved on, Momoko has been the Avenger for at least the last 25 shows. They started in 2010 as a sub-unit of a J-Pop Idol group and celebrated their 10th anniversary last October. As members of that group they would sing songs and dance, the only difference is that instead of singing and dancing to pop music they do it to metal music - and it is metal, not just distorted guitars stuck on pop tunes. At the start they had no budget from their agency, this was the pet project of just one man (Kei Kobayashi - a lifelong metalhead with a great love and respect for metal) based entirely around the vocal talents of the lead singer Su-metal. Koba thought her vocals too powerful for pop and that she could front a metal/pop fusion band. They had to be self-funding (they even borrowed clothes to make their costumes for their first shows with the Idol group - the other sub-units had theirs paid for) as no agency in Japan in 2010 would have invested in metal as there was virtually no market for it at that time, but under the umbrella of the Idol group there was no risk to them if it didn't take off or just failed. So they sang their songs and danced to a backing track with pre-recorded instrumentals and they started to gain a small following. They started to play their own shows, starting off in tiny venues with a capacity of 150-250 people and they played the food hall at a metal festival. As they gained more popularity a little more budget was made available and late in 2012 the live band (the Kami Band) were brought in to play the encores in a couple of shows and they played at a couple of festivals with BABYMETAL. In 2013 Su was 15 and it was time for her to graduate from the Idol group (it had a school theme and was for girls aged 10 to 15) and it was decided that BABYMETAL should be her vehicle and should separate from the Idol group to go with her as an independent band in their own right. In December 2013 she turned 16 and the final step was taken in the transformation of BABYMETAL from sub-unit of the Idol group to independent band. In anticipation of this the Kami Band were phased in gradually as I described above. They became the full time backing band early in 2014. If you see the musicians in a video wearing skeleton suits (as you did in the 'Gimme Chocolate' video) they were miming the instruments to a backing track - they were called 'Babybones' and were there for show (no pretence was made otherwise, everybody knew what they were doing). The Kami Band are the ones in traditional white burial robes and white corpse face paint (more recently in black robes and now wearing masks ... nobody likes the masks). The Kami Band are among Japan's very best session musicians and can play anything. For the 2019 and 2020 US and European tours the Kami Band of the West (American musicians from Galactic Empire on guitars and bass, Anthony Barone on drums) were introduced. This video was filmed at the Legend 1997 show in December 2013 (Su-metal the lead singer was born in 1997, this was her 16th birthday celebration). This is the official video and the audio is from the studio - they are one of those rarities, a band who sound better live. This was before they had released the first album - and in this configuration of the Makuhari Hall the capacity was about 8-9,000 people - and it was full. The official video for 'Gimme Chocolate' was what went viral and got them noticed internationally and it was hugely important that happened or most of us would probably still be in a musical void, but it was the WTF factor that had it go viral. Live with the Kami Band is so much better. BABYMETAL have 3 studio albums and about 50 songs now - and every one of them is different. They have songs in virtually every metal genre and will mix in or fuse countless other musical styles or genres whenever they feel like it pretty much - they follow nobody else's rules. This is just one of the things that makes them unique, innovative and never boring. Some songs are very heavy, others lean more towards their pop roots and you will find everything in between - eventually. Their name '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)
When he said "Gimme me all the facts" I thought of you immediately. I think everyone did. Somehow, I was expecting at least 3 or 4 more paragraphs from you though. HAHA
The facts and nothing but the facts. After 10years be careful for what you ask for. You might just get it. lol Have fun traveling through the Babymetal galaxy of music.
Here are some fun facts about this song and the group 1. Gimme Chocolate was named one of the most important metal songs of the last 10 years 2. Dragon Force performed this song with BabyMetal 3. The Red Hot Chili Pepper performed this song with them. 4. They are buds with Metallica and Slipknot 5. They had a cameo in Corey Taylor's video 6. They performed Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest 7. They are the only Asian group to ever hit #1 on Billboards Top Rock chart. 8. BabyMetal and Black Pink are the only albums by girl groups in history to enter the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Albums Year End Chart. 9. In a recent interview Corey Taylor of Slipknot was asked who he listened to at home and he said "BabyMetal" 10. In 2015 Vogue Magazine Japan named them Women of The Year. Two other songs you should watch are Legend of 1997 Head Banger - the audience goes bonkers and Road of Resistance Live in Japan their epic masterpiece. Newer songs I would suggest are BxMxC the official video and Pa Pa Ya! feat. F. Hero The girls are all grown up and beautiful and put on a stunning performance
"I've never seen anything like this" is 99% of the reactions for people seeing Babymetal for the first time. That's the genius of the concept, but then you realize...holy Shida this is pretty damned good.
Yeah, you haven't seen anything like this before. 3 little Japanese girls fronting a heavy metal band tearing up stadiums all over the world. Their energy levels infect the crowd and the shows are just insane.
Basically...I want chocolate but it'll make me fat, maybe a little piece.... Actually whatever they're saying doesn't matter they are cute the music is hard it's just bloody fun to watch. And if I may quote Metallica, 'nothing else matters'.
watching true Babymetal virgins watch song and have that " this is most awesome thing i didn't know i loved " look on their face is my favorite RUclips video
They are 16 and 14 at the time of the concert. They are the most famous and popular Japanese Group/Band in the world. In 2019 they sold-out the LA Forum and were the first Japanese to play Wembley Arena London. The number of awards they have is unreal. Babymetal was created in 2010, but the girls have been performing since they were 6 yo. Japan is the #2 music market in the world and right now there are a 100++ all female Rock/Metal bands in Japan.
Great reaction! I liked your fascinated and interested facial expressions. One of the great things about BABYMETAL is that between all the looks of surprise and puzzlement on first-time viewers' faces, you can always see a smile slowly creeping up. I have been a fan for more than four years now, and I can tell you, the smile doesn't go away. As you said, the fusion of genres is so brilliantly unique, and the way they are bringing it to the stage is just incredibly entertaining. The spectrum of their music is pretty wide, from (almost) pure Metal on one side to (almost) pure Pop in the other side, with dozens of other genres sprinkled in for good measure (Waltz, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hip, EDM, Dubstep...). If you pick five songs, you'll hear five different (but equally great) Metal fusions. Please try a few, you won't be disappointed!
BABYMETAL is just magical... Their live performances are all EPIC. BABYMETAL was formed in 2010 as part of school like group called Sakura Gakuin. BABYMETAL became an independent act from 2013. So they've been around 10 years. I got to know about them last year October when the band Bring Me The Horizon featured them in one of their songs named Kingslayer. Now BABYMETAL is my top favourite personally connected band along with Linkin Park. More info coming up in future reactions. Lots of love and huge respect for BABYMETAL ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
What's crazy is that the girls are only 22 and 23 years of age and yet they have over ten years of professional experience each (Su, the lead singer, started very young indeed). This is the song that has newcomers to Babymetal scratching their heads, something the girls themselves readily acknowledge. But it's worth sticking around to delve into their extensive catalogue of incredible songs; you'll hear Su's amazing vocals and Moa and Yui's backing to that heady mix of ferocious heavy metal/hard rock, capped off with their spell-binding choreography and ability to command an audience. Best of luck on your Babymetal journey!
Good news is you're not so "too late" with BabyMetal, a decade late you know is not too shaby :V I mean there's plenty footage material when they were kids or teenagers, but you're not gonna enjoy live concerts like these anymore of course, but they still rockin and they got the metal spirit along with some other flavors we all love from Babymetal.
True I first found them though this song I was confused at first but now I like it some take it to seriously and not for what it is a fun song and they haft to remember there pretty much still kids at that point so ya what do they expect it to be other than a fun and catchy song
Babymetal is pretty awesome. You should check out there other songs such as Headbanger (Live), Megitsune, BxMxC, and their summer party song PA PA YA. On another note, I think you should check out Band-Maid. They are the greatest! By far and away my favorite band. "Thrill" is their debut song once they switched labels and they have only gotten better and better. You can't miss with Band-Maid.
Boy are you in for a journey.. They are huge.. Saw them in 2019 here in states and best show ever been to.. None better live. BM has been going since 2010..
Excellent, enjoyed your reaction. A few notes about BABYMETAL: 1. They fused J-pop & Idol aesthetics with heavy metal to create their own sub-genre called "kawaii metal" (cute metal). 2. With the exceptions of their Official MV's of "KARATE" & "MEGITSUNE", BABYMETAL is best viewed LIVE. They live for their LIVE performances, which are exceptional & ridiculously FUN. 3. No two BABYMETAL songs are the same. 4. The fanbase, a.k.a. "THE ONE", was the name BABYMETAL affectionately & respectfully bestowed upon their fans. 5. For maximum viewing pleasure, follow a core BABYMETAL philosophy: "Don't think. FEEL." More BABYMETAL please!! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Ok, the obligatory reaction of Gimme Chocolate is done. Dive deeper into the foxhole if you want to see what BabyMetal really can do. They are unique… one of a kind. They no 2 songs that are the same. Originally a fusion of Jpop & Metal. But they infuse those two core genres with sub genres of Metal… death metal, progressive metal, power ballads, black metal, Numetal, thrash, industrial, etc. Personallt, I’d recommend… - Megitsune…. Many BabyMetal fans consider this their favorite song - Road of Resistence… showcases how passionate The One (what BabyMetal fans are called) - Nightmare of Rondo w/ the Kami Band intro…. Showcases the Kami Band (backing band made up of some of Japan’s best session musicians) & Sumetal’s extraordinary vocals - Akastuki…. Solo song for Sumetal, again showcasing how good she can sing Extra, Black BabyMetal are songs by the other members of the band Yui & Moa. Personally, Sis Anger is my favorite Black BabyMetal track. 🦊🤘
hmm ..... new soul entering BABYMETAL Universe , there is nothing like them and there is no band can duplicate a band like them. so if you decide to continue going deeper , please do enjoy your journey forward.
welcome at the world maquiabelikus and dark of baby metal 😀😂😄😅😆😆😍😎😂😁😀😂😃😄😅😆not really great reaccion plishhhhhhhhh more baby metal plishhhhhhhhhh nex reaccion megitsune .brand new day .karate .sis anger .yava .bxmxc.akatsuki.GJ.tales of destinies .the one.ok
Everybody should watch a Babymetal video. Not because you're necessarily going to love it but because it's so unique. You might not like it but you have never seen anything like it. (unless you saw one of the groups that imitates or was inspired by Babymetal) They invented their own genre of music and live performance.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🍫 💝️ This footage is from the 'Legend 1997' concert, held in December 2013, celebrating the 16th birthday of the lead singer, Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or Su). "1997" is her birth year. Yuimetal (Yui Mizuyno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were both 14. The BABYMETAL members are very aware that their initial impression is often "WTF?". They compare that to what they first thought when they were introduced to metal music. This whole concept of combining JPop/Idol music with Metal could have been a disaster, but the quality of the singing, songwriting, choreography and staging take it to another level. 'Gimme Chocolate!!' is definitely one of their "poppier" tracks. They have been joined on stage for this song by members of Korn, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and DragonForce. Not all at the same time though. : ) Pretty much every song is different. They believe that if any song sounds too much like it's from a single genre, then it's not a BABYMETAL song. BABYMETAL began in 2010, so they've been busy celebrating "10 BABYMETAL YEARS".
They are young girls that are craving chocolate but don't want to gain weight. So cute ... But don't think it is a joke because a lot of their songs are much more mature than you'd think. Dealing with adult issues and subjects. Awesome group and killing it in the marketplace too ... Look at the other groups that had the opportunity to close a show for BABYMETAL!
Gimme Chocolate is the gateway song (drug) to the Metal Galaxy that is Babymetal. Welcome to the foxhole and may the Fox God watch over you during your journey.
I have heard this song in the Tiny Tina Wonderlands Trailer and now I can´t stop to watch them and now I get all babymetal vids recommended, also yours = D
Great reaction! Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance. Here is a little bit of BABYMETAL info...In 2019, BABYMETAL became the first Asian artists to hit #1 on BILLBOARD's Top Rock Albums chart with their latest album, "Metal Galaxy" and last year the album won the MTV Japan VMA 2020 award for BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR. BABYMETAL has been melting faces for TEN years. Su-metal, the lead singer, is currently 23 years old, while Moa and Yui are 21. Yes, they were very young when BABYMETAL was formed! In this video Su-metal is celebrating her 16th birthday! BABYMETAL have performed with, toured, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, 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 (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. Plus the 20+ awards they have been given. They have 50+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too. 🦊🤘
Folks and this is why YUI-CHAN the TOMATO PRINCESS is missed so much!!! This should not work (CUTE= KAWAII+METAL= BABYMETAL ) but it does nicely. Welcome to the journey that is BABYMETAL, ENJOY THE RIDE..... If you ever get a chance to see them live ( DO IT ) you wont be sorry!!!
From a big smile and a WTF to a stunned silence and not taking your eyes of screen 2 diffrent types of BabyMetal reactions . BabyMetal best live band around 🤘🦊🤘
They've been around since 2010. You have to hear more, this is just one of their less serious song. They are a legit metal band. Can't wait for your babymetal journey and how they became a legendary band now.
My favorite Babymetal song has always been iine (the second song they released). That, and their first song (Dokidoki Morning) mix in a lot more of the kids-jpop stuff that made them unique as a group. The further into their career you go, the closer they get to being purely a metal band. And if I just wanted a good Japanese metal girls band, I could listen to Yousei Teikoku. Other Asian stuff very much worth checking out: * Namewee. Definitely watch the MV for Fragile (featuring Kimberly Chen; It Might Break Your Pinky Heart) and The Wall. * Bloodywood. Start with Gadaar * Man (Japanese rapper). Start with Shou ga Aru. And of course the big news today is that VoicePlay just dropped a cover of We Don't Talk About Bruno.

I recommend going to their first MV "Doki Doki Morning" ( ruclips.net/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/видео.html ) and work your way to the present. The general concensus of the One (Babymetal fans) is that Babymetal is better live (I tend to agree) but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I hope you end up going further down the foxhole and remember this: first, there will be a number of "WTF?!" moments; second, expect the unexpected - Babymetal is very good at catching the uninitiated off guard. Kitsune up!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Cute metal at its finest! Gotta watch all their stuff from the beginning, their very first song recorded on 2010 : BABYMETAL - DOKI DOKI MORNING OFFICIAL MV 🤘🦊🤘
I think this is a re-upload as the original video was out in 2011 but I dont know why they removed or re-uploaded the video, because I loved the original video of Gimmie Chocolate.
Hope to see more Babymetal reactions soon!! Once you get more of their songs under your belt please react to their live performance for DEATH Legend 1997!
great reaction! next babymetal song live version of road to resistance, headbanger, ijime dame zettai, death, yava, megitsune, and catch me if you can (live in japan rising sun) you will get a different atmosphere from foxhole
That's there audience? These days they rarely perform in front of less than 50000 people. Why don't you watch THE NOT SO HELPFUL GUIDE TO BABYMETAL. It will help you understand what is going on because they released their first single when Su Metal was 13yo and the other girls were only 11yo. That's 10years ago .
Wait until you hear them sing for real and with a real band. It's a lot more than kids stuff. 2020 they were named the 10th greatest metal band of all time.
Babymetal is what would happen if you mix the Disney Channel, Metallica, and Anime all together. Surprisingly, the blending of the different genres works quite well and sounds amazingly good.
I totally agree
Metallica? What hahahahah Metallica is a trash metal band, very different to babymetal's metal
@@JuanGonzalez-wz4bv ya baby metal gave metal a perspective it different form the same o same o that's what makes it good
@@JuanGonzalez-wz4bv do you know that babymetal genre of song is METALLICA? but one of japanese versions of Metallica
i wouldnt say METALLICA, but more of a death, thrash metal.
Welcome to Babymetal! They have actually been around since 2010 and started when Su(lead vocal) was 12 and Moa & Yui were 11 years old. Sadly Yui is no longer with them. They just celebrated their 10 year anniversary with a huge series of concerts. If you go on I'd be interested to see you do a current song like PA PA YA.
So , the name " baby " doesn't apply anymore.
They are in their 20's
@@tpndgo2061 The "Baby" part does not referred to their age but rather to a "New Born Genre" of Heavy Metal called 'Kawaii(cute) Metal'. Though it seems that everything Babymetal does is based in Duality and may have, just a little bit, referred to their age!! LoL!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
@@watcher2554 it's also a play on words, a short of Japanese pun. "Baby" and "heavy" look nearly identical in Japanese. Sorry of how they used to lisp desu when they introduced themselves to make it sound like "death".
@@nickydexgg4579 Yep, just those two little hashes over the first character make all the difference!!
Babymetal came out in 2010.
It was a subunit of Sakura Gakuin show for the growth of young women specifically age groups of 10-15.
In 2012 the leadsinger Su-metal graduated and Babymetal became an independent label in 2013.
The two younger dancers Yuimetal and Moametal would pull double duty for a couple more years til 2015 at Sakura Gakuin as well as performing with Babymetal, especially as they prepped for a World tour.
They toured with many famous international rock and metal bands, metallica, kiss, red hot chilly peppers, guns'n'roses, to name a few.
The Give Me Chocolate MV you watched there had a 16yo Su-metal flanked by 15yo Moametal and Yuimetal. In 2014 the younger two were still at Sakura Gakuin.
In 2017 Yuimetal left the band due to health problems.
2018 saw Moa and Su seeking out a replacement and they called them the Chosen Seven.
The Australian tour had chosen the replacement to be Saya-metal.
There was a 8 month hiatus and in late June 2019 Babymetal was back with a new theme, three dancers called the Avengers.
Riho-metal was the friend of Su-metal, same age, from Hiroshima. They were both at Actor School Hiroshima but took different career paths. Kano-metal was the youngest and only did a few Japanese concerts. Kano was still at Sakura Gakuin in her final year there. She was also in the J-pop group @OneFive.
Momoko-metal graduated Sakura Gakuin a couple years before. All three showed very strong work ethics and able to keep up with high energy choreography that was demanded of them.
Su-metal still remained the leadsinger. Moametal became the dance leader.
Got to watch out for Moa as she tends to improvise.
The Avengers were interchangable, as it was always a surprise who would be chosen.
One of the final concerts in 2020 had all five girls on stage.
Sadly Covid19 cut several tours short.
During 2020 and 2021 Momoko was the only one ofbthe Avengers still in employ.
We thought she might have become the permanent replacement.
Several concerts were streamed Live during the many Lockdowns.
Today Babymetal is on another hiatus.
There is a new mystery to be unveiled in late mid-October.
Riho had left in 2020 to pursue her theatre career, she done a musical, and had recently a one-woman show with mixed reviews.
Kano left in 2019 to be more permanent in her group of OneFive.
Momoko left in 2021 at the wake of Babymetal going on hiatus to enter a Korean reality talent show called Girlsplanet.
Despite her Global popularity, and that the Korean show is rigged, she was voted out. I am sure it was a good experience for her. The Korean show has had a sudden drop in viewership.
We are all waiting with what Babymetal is planning to do next.
Good first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Galaxy. What was that you said - gimme all the facts? As you asked so nicely (and I'll apologise in advance, this could take a while ... to read).
BABYMETAL are Su-metal (now 23) and Moametal (now 22) - the third original member, Yuimetal, sadly left the band in October 2018 having been absent from the stage for the previous 12 months. She had ongoing (and undisclosed) health issues and had not fully recovered so was still unable to perform, so she announced she would be leaving the band and hoped to follow her own long held dreams.
Since the start of the 2019 tour Su and Moa have been supported by three dancers (the Avengers) who take turns to dance in the third spot (they do not have any vocals so far). They are Kano, Riho and Momoko, but it looks like Riho and Kano have moved on, Momoko has been the Avenger for at least the last 25 shows.
They started in 2010 as a sub-unit of a J-Pop Idol group and celebrated their 10th anniversary last October. As members of that group they would sing songs and dance, the only difference is that instead of singing and dancing to pop music they do it to metal music - and it is metal, not just distorted guitars stuck on pop tunes.
At the start they had no budget from their agency, this was the pet project of just one man (Kei Kobayashi - a lifelong metalhead with a great love and respect for metal) based entirely around the vocal talents of the lead singer Su-metal. Koba thought her vocals too powerful for pop and that she could front a metal/pop fusion band.
They had to be self-funding (they even borrowed clothes to make their costumes for their first shows with the Idol group - the other sub-units had theirs paid for) as no agency in Japan in 2010 would have invested in metal as there was virtually no market for it at that time, but under the umbrella of the Idol group there was no risk to them if it didn't take off or just failed.
So they sang their songs and danced to a backing track with pre-recorded instrumentals and they started to gain a small following. They started to play their own shows, starting off in tiny venues with a capacity of 150-250 people and they played the food hall at a metal festival.
As they gained more popularity a little more budget was made available and late in 2012 the live band (the Kami Band) were brought in to play the encores in a couple of shows and they played at a couple of festivals with BABYMETAL.
In 2013 Su was 15 and it was time for her to graduate from the Idol group (it had a school theme and was for girls aged 10 to 15) and it was decided that BABYMETAL should be her vehicle and should separate from the Idol group to go with her as an independent band in their own right.
In December 2013 she turned 16 and the final step was taken in the transformation of BABYMETAL from sub-unit of the Idol group to independent band. In anticipation of this the Kami Band were phased in gradually as I described above. They became the full time backing band early in 2014.
If you see the musicians in a video wearing skeleton suits (as you did in the 'Gimme Chocolate' video) they were miming the instruments to a backing track - they were called 'Babybones' and were there for show (no pretence was made otherwise, everybody knew what they were doing). The Kami Band are the ones in traditional white burial robes and white corpse face paint (more recently in black robes and now wearing masks ... nobody likes the masks). The Kami Band are among Japan's very best session musicians and can play anything.
For the 2019 and 2020 US and European tours the Kami Band of the West (American musicians from Galactic Empire on guitars and bass, Anthony Barone on drums) were introduced.
This video was filmed at the Legend 1997 show in December 2013 (Su-metal the lead singer was born in 1997, this was her 16th birthday celebration). This is the official video and the audio is from the studio - they are one of those rarities, a band who sound better live.
This was before they had released the first album - and in this configuration of the Makuhari Hall the capacity was about 8-9,000 people - and it was full.
The official video for 'Gimme Chocolate' was what went viral and got them noticed internationally and it was hugely important that happened or most of us would probably still be in a musical void, but it was the WTF factor that had it go viral. Live with the Kami Band is so much better.
BABYMETAL have 3 studio albums and about 50 songs now - and every one of them is different. They have songs in virtually every metal genre and will mix in or fuse countless other musical styles or genres whenever they feel like it pretty much - they follow nobody else's rules. This is just one of the things that makes them unique, innovative and never boring. Some songs are very heavy, others lean more towards their pop roots and you will find everything in between - eventually.
Their name '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)
When he said "Gimme me all the facts" I thought of you immediately. I think everyone did. Somehow, I was expecting at least 3 or 4 more paragraphs from you though. HAHA
@@jeffschreifels8651 Haha, I did have a quiet chuckle to myself - I thought that was probably enough to be going on with for now ;-)
@@Grington300 I don't think they could handle _all_ the facts :-)
@@autohmae I don't think my fingers could handle typing all the facts lol
The facts and nothing but the facts. After 10years be careful for what you ask for. You might just get it. lol Have fun traveling through the Babymetal galaxy of music.
Here are some fun facts about this song and the group
1. Gimme Chocolate was named one of the most important metal songs of the last 10 years
2. Dragon Force performed this song with BabyMetal
3. The Red Hot Chili Pepper performed this song with them.
4. They are buds with Metallica and Slipknot
5. They had a cameo in Corey Taylor's video
6. They performed Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest
7. They are the only Asian group to ever hit #1 on Billboards Top Rock chart.
8. BabyMetal and Black Pink are the only albums by girl groups in history to enter the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Albums Year End Chart.
9. In a recent interview Corey Taylor of Slipknot was asked who he listened to at home and he said "BabyMetal"
10. In 2015 Vogue Magazine Japan named them Women of The Year.
Two other songs you should watch are Legend of 1997 Head Banger - the audience goes bonkers and Road of Resistance Live in Japan their epic masterpiece. Newer songs I would suggest are BxMxC the official video and Pa Pa Ya! feat. F. Hero The girls are all grown up and beautiful and put on a stunning performance
I second the recommendations for Headbanger and Road of Resistance. I'd also add the official music video for Karate and BmXmC.
@@EricBridges and I second that
3rd
Don't forget their collaboration with Bring Me the Horizon - "Kingslayer"
@@EricBridges Indeed.
ATATATATATATA! Now check out headbanger from the same show
🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
"I've never seen anything like this" is 99% of the reactions for people seeing Babymetal for the first time.
That's the genius of the concept, but then you realize...holy Shida this is pretty damned good.
it’s okay. you make is sound like it’s the greatest music ever. lmfao
You’ve taken your first steps into a larger world!
Next BabyMetal ~ Ijime,Dame,Zettai
こうやって見てるとベビメタの楽曲って海外に向けてるよね。
素晴らしいリアクション感謝です。
みんな黙っちゃうんですよね。
彼女達は日本の誇りです。
Yeah, you haven't seen anything like this before. 3 little Japanese girls fronting a heavy metal band tearing up stadiums all over the world. Their energy levels infect the crowd and the shows are just insane.
If you go further down that foxhole (yes...fox; not rabbit), you're in for a treat...
Basically...I want chocolate but it'll make me fat, maybe a little piece.... Actually whatever they're saying doesn't matter they are cute the music is hard it's just bloody fun to watch. And if I may quote Metallica, 'nothing else matters'.
Great reaction! ありがとうございます!🦊👍
watching true Babymetal virgins watch song and have that " this is most awesome thing i didn't know i loved " look on their face is my favorite RUclips video
"Gimme all the facts on Babymetal"
Famous last words LOL
Careful what you ask for the One will give you it 🤘🦊🤘#notacult
They are 16 and 14 at the time of the concert. They are the most famous and popular Japanese Group/Band in the world. In 2019 they sold-out the LA Forum and were the first Japanese to play Wembley Arena London. The number of awards they have is unreal. Babymetal was created in 2010, but the girls have been performing since they were 6 yo.
Japan is the #2 music market in the world and right now there are a 100++ all female Rock/Metal bands in Japan.
Great reaction! I liked your fascinated and interested facial expressions. One of the great things about BABYMETAL is that between all the looks of surprise and puzzlement on first-time viewers' faces, you can always see a smile slowly creeping up. I have been a fan for more than four years now, and I can tell you, the smile doesn't go away.
As you said, the fusion of genres is so brilliantly unique, and the way they are bringing it to the stage is just incredibly entertaining.
The spectrum of their music is pretty wide, from (almost) pure Metal on one side to (almost) pure Pop in the other side, with dozens of other genres sprinkled in for good measure (Waltz, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hip, EDM, Dubstep...). If you pick five songs, you'll hear five different (but equally great) Metal fusions. Please try a few, you won't be disappointed!
BABYMETAL is just magical... Their live performances are all EPIC. BABYMETAL was formed in 2010 as part of school like group called Sakura Gakuin. BABYMETAL became an independent act from 2013. So they've been around 10 years. I got to know about them last year October when the band Bring Me The Horizon featured them in one of their songs named Kingslayer. Now BABYMETAL is my top favourite personally connected band along with Linkin Park. More info coming up in future reactions. Lots of love and huge respect for BABYMETAL ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
Discovered them since 2013 and then I remembered them again and it's 2021. I miss my metalhead self.
Thank you from Japan. And more Babymetal !!!
What's crazy is that the girls are only 22 and 23 years of age and yet they have over ten years of professional experience each (Su, the lead singer, started very young indeed). This is the song that has newcomers to Babymetal scratching their heads, something the girls themselves readily acknowledge. But it's worth sticking around to delve into their extensive catalogue of incredible songs; you'll hear Su's amazing vocals and Moa and Yui's backing to that heady mix of ferocious heavy metal/hard rock, capped off with their spell-binding choreography and ability to command an audience.
Best of luck on your Babymetal journey!
The song is about girls watching their weight and their cravings for chocolate. All of their songs have a meaning.
Not really
More BABYMETAL!
Good news is you're not so "too late" with BabyMetal, a decade late you know is not too shaby :V
I mean there's plenty footage material when they were kids or teenagers, but you're not gonna enjoy live concerts like these anymore of course, but they still rockin and they got the metal spirit along with some other flavors we all love from Babymetal.
True I first found them though this song I was confused at first but now I like it some take it to seriously and not for what it is a fun song and they haft to remember there pretty much still kids at that point so ya what do they expect it to be other than a fun and catchy song
Babymetal is pretty awesome. You should check out there other songs such as Headbanger (Live), Megitsune, BxMxC, and their summer party song PA PA YA. On another note, I think you should check out Band-Maid. They are the greatest! By far and away my favorite band. "Thrill" is their debut song once they switched labels and they have only gotten better and better. You can't miss with Band-Maid.
A BABYMETAL mosh pit is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
Boy are you in for a journey.. They are huge.. Saw them in 2019 here in states and best show ever been to.. None better live. BM has been going since 2010..
Welcome to the Fox Hole. 🤘🦊🤘
If its your. 1st time, welcome to cute metal aka kawaii metal a genre made by babymetal.
Excellent, enjoyed your reaction. A few notes about BABYMETAL:
1. They fused J-pop & Idol aesthetics with heavy metal to create their own sub-genre called "kawaii metal" (cute metal).
2. With the exceptions of their Official MV's of "KARATE" & "MEGITSUNE", BABYMETAL is best viewed LIVE. They live for their LIVE performances, which are exceptional & ridiculously FUN.
3. No two BABYMETAL songs are the same.
4. The fanbase, a.k.a. "THE ONE", was the name BABYMETAL affectionately & respectfully bestowed upon their fans.
5. For maximum viewing pleasure, follow a core BABYMETAL philosophy:
"Don't think. FEEL."
More BABYMETAL please!!
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
I saw them open for Guns & Roses a few years ago at Saitama Super Arena…I’m sorry, but BM was a better show. So good.
"So happy."..while patting their tummy....^&%^*&*^* KAWAII!!!! \m/ lol....Girl power! 🔥🦊💪👏😎✌🤘🙏
It's adorable, raucous, perverse, and insane. I like it.
Great first reaction! More Babymetal please 😁
Great reaction guys! More babymetal if you can.
Ok, the obligatory reaction of Gimme Chocolate is done. Dive deeper into the foxhole if you want to see what BabyMetal really can do. They are unique… one of a kind. They no 2 songs that are the same. Originally a fusion of Jpop & Metal. But they infuse those two core genres with sub genres of Metal… death metal, progressive metal, power ballads, black metal, Numetal, thrash, industrial, etc. Personallt, I’d recommend…
- Megitsune…. Many BabyMetal fans consider this their favorite song
- Road of Resistence… showcases how passionate The One (what BabyMetal fans are called)
- Nightmare of Rondo w/ the Kami Band intro…. Showcases the Kami Band (backing band made up of some of Japan’s best session musicians) & Sumetal’s extraordinary vocals
- Akastuki…. Solo song for Sumetal, again showcasing how good she can sing
Extra, Black BabyMetal are songs by the other members of the band Yui & Moa. Personally, Sis Anger is my favorite Black BabyMetal track.
🦊🤘
As usual Gimme Chocolate sparks curiosity in open minded people.
@@Singulitarian yep.
More Babymetal reactions please!
hmm ..... new soul entering BABYMETAL Universe , there is nothing like them and there is no band can duplicate a band like them. so if you decide to continue going deeper , please do enjoy your journey forward.
And another 2 souls are claimed 🦊🤘❤❤🤘
welcome at the world maquiabelikus and dark of baby metal 😀😂😄😅😆😆😍😎😂😁😀😂😃😄😅😆not really great reaccion plishhhhhhhhh more baby metal plishhhhhhhhhh nex reaccion megitsune .brand new day .karate .sis anger .yava .bxmxc.akatsuki.GJ.tales of destinies .the one.ok
you two are a prime example of why the game "siblings or dating" exists. lol
Everybody should watch a Babymetal video. Not because you're necessarily going to love it but because it's so unique. You might not like it but you have never seen anything like it. (unless you saw one of the groups that imitates or was inspired by Babymetal) They invented their own genre of music and live performance.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🍫 💝️
This footage is from the 'Legend 1997' concert, held in December 2013, celebrating the 16th birthday of the lead singer, Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or Su). "1997" is her birth year.
Yuimetal (Yui Mizuyno) and Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) were both 14.
The BABYMETAL members are very aware that their initial impression is often "WTF?".
They compare that to what they first thought when they were introduced to metal music.
This whole concept of combining JPop/Idol music with Metal could have been a disaster, but the quality of the singing, songwriting, choreography and staging take it to another level.
'Gimme Chocolate!!' is definitely one of their "poppier" tracks.
They have been joined on stage for this song by members of Korn, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and DragonForce.
Not all at the same time though. : )
Pretty much every song is different.
They believe that if any song sounds too much like it's from a single genre, then it's not a BABYMETAL song.
BABYMETAL began in 2010, so they've been busy celebrating "10 BABYMETAL YEARS".
ベビーメタル!!!!!
They are young girls that are craving chocolate but don't want to gain weight. So cute ... But don't think it is a joke because a lot of their songs are much more mature than you'd think. Dealing with adult issues and subjects. Awesome group and killing it in the marketplace too ... Look at the other groups that had the opportunity to close a show for BABYMETAL!
Most important thing about Babymetal... do not only check out Gimme Cocholate... you will be missing the best Songs !
1:09 lmao Albert's face :D
love baby metal
Gimme Choco is one of their most "WTF" songs and what we (the fanbanse) start complete strangers with. lol
Gimme Chocolate is the gateway song (drug) to the Metal Galaxy that is Babymetal. Welcome to the foxhole and may the Fox God watch over you during your journey.
This was quite *omoshiroi* !!!
Great reaction !!
MEGITSUNE, KARATE, AND HEADBANGERRRRR LEGEND 1997
I have heard this song in the Tiny Tina Wonderlands Trailer and now I can´t stop to watch them and now I get all babymetal vids recommended, also yours = D
Thanks for sharing this reaction with us!! More BABYMETAL please 🤘🦊🤘
cool, BM is a puppet theater
You guys should react to headbanger legend of 1997
Great reaction! Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance. Here is a little bit of BABYMETAL info...In 2019, BABYMETAL became the first Asian artists to hit #1 on BILLBOARD's Top Rock Albums chart with their latest album, "Metal Galaxy" and last year the album won the MTV Japan VMA 2020 award for BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR. BABYMETAL has been melting faces for TEN years. Su-metal, the lead singer, is currently 23 years old, while Moa and Yui are 21. Yes, they were very young when BABYMETAL was formed! In this video Su-metal is celebrating her 16th birthday!
BABYMETAL have performed with, toured, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, 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 (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, etc), US, and Asia. Plus the 20+ awards they have been given. They have 50+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too. 🦊🤘
Folks and this is why YUI-CHAN the TOMATO PRINCESS is missed so much!!!
This should not work (CUTE= KAWAII+METAL= BABYMETAL ) but it does nicely. Welcome to the journey that is BABYMETAL, ENJOY THE RIDE..... If you ever get a chance to see them live ( DO IT ) you wont be sorry!!!
oh no.... you're probably gonna get sunk in the Fox hole
From a big smile and a WTF to a stunned silence and not taking your eyes of screen 2 diffrent types of BabyMetal reactions . BabyMetal best live band around 🤘🦊🤘
They've been around since 2010. You have to hear more, this is just one of their less serious song. They are a legit metal band. Can't wait for your babymetal journey and how they became a legendary band now.
My favorite Babymetal song has always been iine (the second song they released). That, and their first song (Dokidoki Morning) mix in a lot more of the kids-jpop stuff that made them unique as a group. The further into their career you go, the closer they get to being purely a metal band. And if I just wanted a good Japanese metal girls band, I could listen to Yousei Teikoku.
Other Asian stuff very much worth checking out:
* Namewee. Definitely watch the MV for Fragile (featuring Kimberly Chen; It Might Break Your Pinky Heart) and The Wall.
* Bloodywood. Start with Gadaar
* Man (Japanese rapper). Start with Shou ga Aru.
And of course the big news today is that VoicePlay just dropped a cover of We Don't Talk About Bruno.
Babymetal LOL 🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿
Only the Fox God knows...
Anyone who has watched the MV knows that they are so cute, they are the first kawaii metal in the world.
You need more Babymetal ... :D

I recommend going to their first MV "Doki Doki Morning" ( ruclips.net/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/видео.html ) and work your way to the present. The general concensus of the One (Babymetal fans) is that Babymetal is better live (I tend to agree) but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I hope you end up going further down the foxhole and remember this: first, there will be a number of "WTF?!" moments; second, expect the unexpected - Babymetal is very good at catching the uninitiated off guard. Kitsune up!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Exciting reaction video!!!
I can feel your love for BABYMETAL🦊
I'm Japanese and I love BABYMETAL just like you.
Mind blown!
Welcome to the Foxhole and The One will help you in your Babymetal journey.

Babymetal
Babymetal (Japanese: ベビーメタル, Hepburn: Bebīmetaru) (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese kawaii metal band. The band consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal" (Vocal and Dance) and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal" (Scream and Dance). The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band" at performances.

The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Su-metal (Vocal and Dance), Moametal (Scream and Dance), and Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal" (Scream and Dance), with the concept of creating a fusion of the heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013, following Nakamoto's departure from Sakura Gakuin. Babymetal released their eponymous debut album in February 2014. Their second album Metal Resistance was released worldwide on April 1, 2016. Babymetal has also embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking place outside of Asia.
On October 19, 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno (Yuimetal) had decided to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017. Since her departure, the band has performed with one or more backup dancers at live performances.

YYaaaassssss!!! Welcome to The Fox Hole!
Cute metal at its finest!
Gotta watch all their stuff from the beginning, their very first song recorded on 2010 : BABYMETAL - DOKI DOKI MORNING OFFICIAL MV 🤘🦊🤘
Just saw them in Omaha and they were amazing!!
They really were just saying they want chocolate.
Babymetal megitsune for next please!! Up
When you run out of salt for your pentagram so you substitute with sugar instead.
A nice couple, so good to watch.
I think this is a re-upload as the original video was out in 2011 but I dont know why they removed or re-uploaded the video, because I loved the original video of Gimmie Chocolate.
*MORE.*
Hope to see more Babymetal reactions soon!! Once you get more of their songs under your belt please react to their live performance for DEATH Legend 1997!
go react Bring Me The Horizon - Kingslayer (Lyrics) ft. BABYMETAL but first BABYMETAL "Megitsune Live At Budokan Red Night"
great reaction! next babymetal song live version of road to resistance, headbanger, ijime dame zettai, death, yava, megitsune, and catch me if you can (live in japan rising sun) you will get a different atmosphere from foxhole
That's there audience? These days they rarely perform in front of less than 50000 people. Why don't you watch THE NOT SO HELPFUL GUIDE TO BABYMETAL. It will help you understand what is going on because they released their first single when Su Metal was 13yo and the other girls were only 11yo. That's 10years ago .
Great reaction :)
goodchoice,good reaction of Babymetal.
We are Babymetal.
Wait until you hear them sing for real and with a real band. It's a lot more than kids stuff. 2020 they were named the 10th greatest metal band of all time.
Please please please react to the song MEGITSUNE.....thats the benchmark
Please do headbanger live at Apocalypse legend 1997 😭
Hey! Are you ready! Are you ready?...........No not yet!
Ok soooooo that's baby metal. I heard the name but never the music before.
I promise the fan base (is)nt a cult…I promise
