This song was just awesome! Sadly it had to be BLURRED due to copyright! BUT the full unblurred reaction is up on PATREON! www.patreon.com/gotgames 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Megitsune means female fox. In Japan, since ancient times, there has been a legend that foxes deceive people, and this is associated with women who deceive men, giving the word 'Megitsune' a cursing meaning. It is used to describe a sly wicked woman. In this song, it is sung in the context of a young girl gaining wisdom and toughness in the process of growing into an adult and becoming independent.
@@GOTGames I learned a long time ago, that you MUST read the english translations to fully appreciate the message of their songs. Even then, theres layers to a lot of them. Such as Song 4 (4 no Uta) basically making light of a Japanese superstition about the number 4, which is like the western number 13, since 4 in Japanese sounds exactly like Death in old Japanese (shi). For example, the fourth floor of a building in Japan is commonly skipped like 13 is in the western world. They do so many shi puns and the chorus of YON YON (another newer way to say 4 that replaced shi), basically it would be like a western band making a bunch of 13 puns in a very fun and playful way. Theres so much more, the songwriters are brilliant. (i would mention 4 no Uta was actually written by the younger 2 girls when they were like 12 years old). Smart kids.
Megitsune wins most fan polls for the favourite BM song, its also their most played live concert song, and is often the show opener. Su also uses it as her warm up song because its particularly vocally challenging. If you like the upbeat energetic songs like this, you should definitely listen to Syncopation, which also regularly features very high in the fan polls despite being an exclusive to the Japanese edition of Metal Resistance. It's only ever been performed once outside Japan, at Brixton Academy in London in 2019.
I can see you are really enjoying yourself watching Babymetal. Thanks for the reaction. The question isn't "How does this work?" The question now is "How does this not work for everyone on the planet?" Babymetal could unite the world. Kitsune up!
Its definitely fun to watch someone discovering the BABYMETAL catalogue! Keep em coming!! I recommend finding a live version of BxMxC if you wanna see Su rapping!
_Sore!_ my comment was deleted 🥺 But i can see you already got some good info, i was telling you that now you're ready for "The One" live at Tokyo Dome 2016, but before that watch "Tales Of The Destinies" since both songs are tied together. Remember BMRR is your friend 😉👍 🦊🤘🔥
@@GOTGames i know it wasn't your fault, sometimes is YT but sometimes if you have hard blocked settings for comments is also a reason for deleting comments automatically. Is all good thou mate. Thanks 🦊🤘🧡
Love Megitsune, the Japanese infusion, the music, the choreography, so good.... If you think this was awesome, try to find Megitsune from their Legend 2015 concert.... They came out wearing kimono's, holding up fox mask, walking out on a walkway into the middle of the crowd.... Or checkout the Red Fox Festival concert, where they sang Megitsune a song about female empowerment, to a FEMALE ONLY audience... The energy was off the charts!🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction!!!! Megitsune music video also simply awesome. You gotta react to IN THE NAME OF - LIVE [10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN] 2021. It is one of the best intros to a concert you will ever see. You will then understand why the crowd is soo hyped and full of adrenalin. Once watching this you will also have one question. Is Babymetal a cult??? Well hell yeah! The best cult EVER!
My top 5 BABYMETAL songs in order are: 1. Headbanger 2. Road of Resistance 3. BxMxC 4. Akatsuki 5. Rondo of Nightmare But my list changes often, because I love them all so much. lol
Awesome reaction again, man! If you want a vocal performance that will top this, I highly suggest Akatsuki, any version will do. Most people will probably prefer the Black Knight performance with young Su. I personally prefer the Babymetal 10 year performance at Doomsday Budokan. Either way, you'll be AMAZED. My fave BM song as well :>
One of my favorites! I really love the original MV, I'm gonna throw it in the twitch queue Sunday. If you don't do the MV for 'iine' next, I wanna see sis anger!
Great reaction, thanks! I believe no one can blame you for having "Megitsune" as your favorite because it is an absolute fan favorite. The reasons are obvious: great song writing, great performance, great choreo great Su-metal (16 years old version, by the way). Yep that setup of the Budokan is really insane, and a little bit dangerous since Yui fell off the stage later that night (Red Night) during "Headbanger" call and response. The next day (Black Night) the outer part appeared full of railings. My favorite songs are "Akatsuki" and "Megitsune". And I only put "Akatsuki" first because of my music genre bias (huge power metal fan here). So my obvious suggestion would be "Akatsuki" live at Budokan Black Night.
Well Budokan 14 Akatsuki is overrated compare to all Akatsuki since 2016 or later as Su mastered it and her vocal grown a lot. But it understandable that BDK 14 became the most popular because it won't get blocked tho
@@BadEnd98 Yep, probably. But apart from Su's vocal maturity, it's a hell of a show. And to be honest, what she did there, being just 16 is pretty impressive. 😊
How ? How ? Well, with a LOT of effort and it almost didn't happen: Megitsune extract from Yuyoyuppe interview on Hedoban vol.1 Y : It's interesting from the beginning. The interaction started with "There is a song unfinished last two years..." There were many versions by many artists. I heard first he was going to give it poofy sound of K-Pop like, but wanted Japanese taste at last. We didn't have the Sakura breakdown originally. Q : Really? Y : Japanese taste, an original K-Pop groove and catchy sound were layered, furthermore going to inject the breakdown (laugh). As for breakdown, there is a trend. I pursued it. Now it's not a cut-in breakdown of a past trend in Hardcore or Metal, but one with teasing and teasing then breaking down, like that. The current trend of breakdown is not the Hardcore cut-in, but others with Electro taste even in Hardcore scene. I put in the taste little, then it went so good. Kobametal-San might have felt something cool, seemed "Well, I took it." But this was just the beginning. I made... how many... 36 different demos maybe. Q : What!? Y : We communicated 36 times (laugh). I hung up seriously. I kept making the next ones with graining my soul. Doing DJ, my band and other acts in parallel nearly broke my health. But my PC broke first (laugh). In a middle of the production my Megitsune project file turned half dead, I could never open specific windows. It kept aborted and sound never came up (laugh). Most difficult delivery in my life. But I really did my best. Someone must have made Enka-Metal before, but Babymetal was the first to achieve that level of emotion with hybrid of sounds, I think. (Pp. 93-94)
Saw them live in Japan years ago, the venue was like the one you were reacting to. Yes, Japan is in a whole different level when it comes to music and stage spectacle
They mixed metal with traditional instruments like Shamisen and drum, the Kitsune kitsune chanting part is a Japanese folk song Sakura sakura and they go together so damn well to bring the creepiness to the song. \m/
Awesome reaction! Megitsune is one of their best for sure!! Some of the best/essential BabyMetal that you haven't heard yet: Akatsuki (Live Black Night): ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html Karate M/V: ruclips.net/video/GvD3CHA48pA/видео.html Syncopation: ruclips.net/video/1eLuB5CoryM/видео.html Kagerou: ruclips.net/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/видео.html
omg i havent listened to babymatal in years!!! now that you reacted to them I relistened to them and it feels a bit like a HS nostalgia haha back then and even now this is my favorite song from them
Good!! If you haven't reacted to 'syncopation' , give it a try, it my most favorite track from Babymetal. My top 3 is 1 syncopation 2 catch me if you can 3 megitsune But their whole discography is a blast!!
2 года назад+3
my fave babymetal song is Kagerou live with Kami band intro
When I first discovered BABYMETAL I was like wow this song is great. Lets check another. What? This song is GREAT TOO! Lets check another. WOW. another great song. Ok can they do it again? Another! I was happily amazed with each and every song and seeing them perform it makes it even better. 🤘🦊🤘
One of my favourites ( it keeps changing ) but always in my top 5 . Syncopation is another in my top 5 . Went to see them at Brixton Academy in London 2019 . Was 2nd guessing what would be on set list . Stright off Megitsune was opening song build up was great audience just went nuts when lights went on . Never thought Syncopation would be performed as it has not been performed a lot and never outside Japan . Then Syncopations intro a long build up started . atmosphere went up a few notches and everyone scrambling to get phones , cameras out . So lucky to see it . Well worth you reacting to it just see you losing it " AGAIN " 🤣😁🤘🦊🤘
Kitsune = fox (male) and Megitsune = vixen / female fox. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 The first 20 seconds of this song are a play on one of the most well-known (in Japan) folk songs called 'Sakura, sakura' (cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms) and whilke they kept the tune, the worrds were changed. It's a lovely little 2 minute folk song and, if you're interested, it's here - ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html . That moment when Su does her kick, she says "Maidens, don't underestimate us!" which you already know is true! It's a line from a gangster film that's well-known in Japan. Oh, and sitting watching Babymetal with your jaw on the floor is quite normal and we've all been there so don't fret! 🦊🤘🤘🦊
If you want to react to a newer more mature version of BM try Kagerou live with kami intro - if anything Sui's vocals are getting better !! Quite a heavy track too!!
Great reaction. 'Megitsune' is a difficult song to sing - so Su-metal uses it for sound checks and to check how she is sounding before concerts. You did well finding the Budokan Red Night performance (it is blocked in many countries - the Black Night version from the next night is the one most people see). It is not just your new favourite - it often tops fan polls for favourite song and they have played it live more often than any other song. It is arguably the song that showcases best what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains the fox mask Su has in the breakdown) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The build up before they started and the breakdown in the middle of the song (yes that was pig squeal screams you heard, they are more obvious in the studio recording) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
Great reaction and as usual, the song you listen/react to becomes your new favourite. Check out the official mv, which is absolutely great. Megitsune is all about woman empowerment, the lyrics are about woman having to smile all the time even when they cry on the inside. This is by far not the best performance of the song but still frigging amazing especially considering that Su was 16 at the time. She often uses it for the sound checks before their shows since she is also considering the song as one of the most difficult ones for herself. These days they often use the breakdown in the middle (after Su grabbed the fox mask) for call and response with the crowd to hype them up even more. As for your next song, you may want to check out “Iine”, the official mv is probably best (you will know why after you reacted to it lol). I need to double check if you haven’t seen it already tho :)
My first song was "Gimme Chocolate". You have to take in consideration with the lyrics that chocolate especially at valentines day has a special meaning to it in Japan. Girls make chocolate themselves (for some part) for their boyfriends/fiances/husbands. Perhaps a little bit late for that comment (I'm just discovering your channel) but in the japanese language every syllable is spoken independately. So it is: Meh-Gee-Tsoo-Neh But sometimes vocals are silent as in "Desu". It is mostly spoken like "Des". A good example would be the lyrics to "Gimme Chocolate" (another one of my favorites as mentioned above).
I love Babymetal's Road of Resistance, Karate and Megitsune. But when i came even deeper into Japanesse rock/metal, i discovered even better female rock/metal bands, they're not that popular, but they're as good or even better. Unlucky Morpheus, vocalist Fuki (symphonic metal) - Angreifer, is the best song from this band, but they've got a lot of great metal. The female vocalist Fuki, is one of the best vocalists i've heard. Fuki also got solo performances, you definitelly need to check the video "SYU from GALNERYUS（GUEST VOCAL：Fuki）「REASON」". One if not the my favourite metal song. Foreground Eclipse, vocalist: mostly Merami (melodic metal, doujin metal) - it's a band that mostly covered songs from a game Touhou, i don't know if they even did live performances, but their recorded songs are amazing. Really good instrumentals too. Shinigiwa Satellite - it's very similar to Foreground Eclipse, and the vocalist is also Merami. But to be honest, Shinigiwa Satellite has better songs than FGE. Release Hallucination - i think it's a duo, of the vocalist and her husband/boyfriend, they don't live perform (anyway it would be impossible for him to play drums and guitar at the same time LIVE xd). They're pretty new, not all of their songs are good, but they've got two BANGERS! "Chronostasis" and "I.F.".
Hello from Akron Ohio USA! I love watching your reactions to Babymetal. The song that got me hooked was karate. A "trippy" video to watch is Shanti Shanti Shanti. It shows that they can do damn near anything they want! Oh and by the way, it's not a rabbit hole that you've gone down, it's a fox hole. 😉 keep up the good work mate. I'm looking forward to the next Babymetal reaction.
I am always amazed that Su can still kill it vocally all while doing a full on hardcore aerobic workout! Props to all the ladies, but Su, you are my Queen!
Recommending you take a look at some of their "newer" stuff. A lot of it is very different from what you've listened to so far, but (in my opinion) a lot of it showcases the charisma and talent of the girls more, while still allowing the band to shine. A couple recommendations would be BxMxC, Syncopation, Shanti Shanti Shanti (very different), and Brand New Day (also very different).
Nice one. One of my favourite Babymetal songs. For recommendations I would suggest 'Amore', a Su solo and the Live at Wembley 2016. A masterpiece with guitar and bass solo's.
One of my favourites from Babymetal. Definitely also recommend Shanti Shanti; and The One Some other Japanese bands I have to recommend are: JRock: MY FIRST STORY (Taka's youngest brother Hiro is the vocalist), especially their songs: Fukagyaku Replace; Alone; Missing You; Shissō Flame [失踪FLAME]; Paradox (song for the Japanese version of The Matrix Resurrections); Hana-0714- [花-0714-]; Shūen Requiem [終焉レクイエム]; Hiro's First Take of Hyena; and Hiro's cover of See You Again by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth] Given (an anime but also the name of the band in said anime), especially Fuyu no Hanashi; Yorugaakeru; Uragawa no Sonzai; and Hetakuso Centimillimental (singer-songwriter, lyricist, composer and guitarist who also did songs for Given), especially Kizuato; Tsuiraku [対落]; and Seishun no Denbu GRANRODEO (they have done so many of my favourite anime openings/endings), especially Rimfire; Memories; Trash Candy; and -7- seven (in collaboration with FLOW) FLOW (again they've done a few of my favourite anime openings/endings, but also some JRock too), especially -7- seven (in collaboration with GRANRODEO); Go!!!; Sign; Oneness; and Innosense OLDCODEX (again they've done a few of my favourite anime openings/endings, but also some JRock too), especially Catal Rhythm; Rage On; Deal With; Eyes in Chase; and HEAVEN Stereopony, especially Hitohira no Hanabira; and Stand By Me Survive Said The Prophet - Follow JPop: BiSH, especially My Landscape; and More Than Like Flower, especially Monokuro and Yasashisade Afureruyouni Ikimono-Gakari (they have done some of my favourite anime openings and endings), especially Blue Bird; Hanabi; and Netsujou no Spectrum YUI, especially Rolling Star; My Generation; and Never Say Die
I rank Megitsune as my number one favorite of my top 5 BABYMETAL songs with Catch Me If You Can (Budokan Black Night 2014) a VERY close second! I do like the 10 BABYMETAL Budokan (Doomsday 1 & 2) performance of Megitsune the best of all the live versions I've heard so far.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。You are great because you are intrigued by Su's vocal ability presented in this song. In an interview Su-Metal said ◆ This song is mixture of various elements ; very fast but smooth, hard but beautiful etc. ◆ This is her tuning song because it includes various factors for singing in a well-balanced manner. So she always sings Megitsune in rehearsal to confirm her vocal condition. Su actually said "in a sense, it is a song of criterion for me". (source : Tokion Vol.7 2020-12-24) Last year 2021, 8 years after this video, BM performed this popular song in each and every show of 10 BABYMETAL Budokan concerts, at the very same venue. Su's voice is matured and Moa's dance moves are more elegant, elastic, playful, and yet sharp and agitating to crowds. I was enchanted whenever I witnessed it.
You should watch the mv. Humour me. Just do it. Just don't be like other people and take your eye off the screen and miss something very important that Su does about 2/3 of the way through the music video...😈😈😈
I would like to see you react to the music video for Karate and Megitsune. Those are my two faves and the official music videos really do them the most justice.
Great reaction, since every piece of BabyMetal never get bored, the official MV of this song is also very good and worth to do a reaction for, hope to see that one coming too bro, Kitsune up 🤟🦊🤟
One important Babymetal song not covered yet is 'Syncopation' - they played this song for the first time outside of Japan in Brixton a few years ago. An absolute class song. Would also recommend 'Yava' , 'GJ' , 'The One'(specially written for the fans) guitar riff in that is very complex and has to be constantly repeated throughout the song. 'Night Night Burn' - a nice homage to Latino music - they'll have a go at anything 😀 Take good care of yourself!
Something they do in a lot of performances of Megitsune, which they didn't do here, is address the crowd during the bit where Su-Metal is holding her kitsune mask, it's so sweet her addressing each location
I discovered babymetal because of this song. I really didn't know what it was going to mean to me... music, choreography, and the voice of SU... is incredible. It's a masterpiece, and then... I realized that it's not the only one. please keep enjoying everything that babymetal has given us and we will enjoy it with you. greetings from Spain :)
Speaking of build up mastery and vocal performance, this is only your new favorite until you hear Syncopation. This isn't their best song for me, but it's for sure good enough to make the list 🤘🦊🤘
Syncopation was initially absent on albums outside of Japan. As a Japanese person, I could understand why. The syncopated tune is very Japanese and old-fashioned. I don't think anyone could have predicted that this would be accepted in countries other than Japan.
If you haven't yet, you should watch the official "Megitsune" music video. In addition to being such a good song, the video also has parts that are so adorably cute.
Damn, now that's the first (sry second time) i saw such an emotional reaction for that! Saw your "Rondo of Nightmare" Reaction, that blows me away. If you want to do another reaction video of babymetal, you should try the Live Compilation Version of "Syncopation"...(ruclips.net/video/Odb9Zy0YdOc/видео.html) This song is my favourite and the first "metal/kawaii metal" song that made me cry, because it's sooo damn good!! Let me know what you think & keep up the awesome and emotional reaction. That's a follow bud!
Greetings from Russia! Congratulations on getting acquainted with the cult song BABYMETAL! This song just blew my mind when I first watched a live performance with her. This is one of several BABYMETAL tracks where several genres of music are intertwined in a song! My most favorite songs are "Shine", "Sis. Anger" and "BxMxC". So far, their turn has not reached them, but I think that after getting acquainted with the classics, it's time to get acquainted with BLACK BABYMETAL, where Yui and Moa sing, and I can't imagine anything better than Sis.Anger for this! I promise, it will be a very heavy song, you haven't heard this from our girls yet! I'm sure it will get into the list of your favorite tracks! This version has improved quality. ruclips.net/video/hnRHf62k9j0/видео.html And after that, you should definitely watch "Trilogy of lights", consisting of the songs "Starlight", "Shine" and "Arkadia". In the first song we see the pain of losing a dear person, the guitarist of the band Mikio Fujioka. He died falling from the observation deck while watching the stars. The second song is like gratitude for the meeting, and the words that his light will shine inside our hearts. This song just tore my soul apart, and even after a few dozen auditions, just when I write these words and think about it, I get goosebumps all over my body. And the third song is like a hymn about overcoming and the words that their path will not stop, that they will continue to go the way they all dreamed of going. I'm sure you'll like it. Put your kitsune up!🦊🤘

I believe no one can blame you for having "Megitsune" as your favorite because it is an absolute fan favorite. The reasons are obvious: great song writing, great performance, great choreo great Su-metal (16 years old version, by the way).

Well Budokan 14 Akatsuki is overrated compare to all Akatsuki since 2016 or later as Su mastered it and her vocal grown a lot. But it understandable that BDK 14 became the most popular because it won't get blocked tho
@@BadEnd98 Yep, probably. But apart from Su's vocal maturity, it's a hell of a show. And to be honest, what she did there, being just 16 is pretty impressive. 😊
Kagerou 2021 with the Western Kami Band is a must!
How ? How ? Well, with a LOT of effort and it almost didn't happen:
Megitsune extract from Yuyoyuppe interview on Hedoban vol.1
Y : It's interesting from the beginning. The interaction started with "There is a song unfinished last two years..." There were many versions by many artists. I heard first he was going to give it poofy sound of K-Pop like, but wanted Japanese taste at last. We didn't have the Sakura breakdown originally.
Q : Really?
Y : Japanese taste, an original K-Pop groove and catchy sound were layered, furthermore going to inject the breakdown (laugh). As for breakdown, there is a trend. I pursued it. Now it's not a cut-in breakdown of a past trend in Hardcore or Metal, but one with teasing and teasing then breaking down, like that. The current trend of breakdown is not the Hardcore cut-in, but others with Electro taste even in Hardcore scene. I put in the taste little, then it went so good. Kobametal-San might have felt something cool, seemed "Well, I took it." But this was just the beginning. I made... how many... 36 different demos maybe.
Q : What!?
Y : We communicated 36 times (laugh). I hung up seriously. I kept making the next ones with graining my soul. Doing DJ, my band and other acts in parallel nearly broke my health. But my PC broke first (laugh). In a middle of the production my Megitsune project file turned half dead, I could never open specific windows. It kept aborted and sound never came up (laugh). Most difficult delivery in my life. But I really did my best. Someone must have made Enka-Metal before, but Babymetal was the first to achieve that level of emotion with hybrid of sounds, I think. (Pp. 93-94)
Saw them live in Japan years ago, the venue was like the one you were reacting to. Yes, Japan is in a whole different level when it comes to music and stage spectacle
They mixed metal with traditional instruments like Shamisen and drum, the Kitsune kitsune chanting part is a Japanese folk song Sakura sakura and they go together so damn well to bring the creepiness to the song. \m/
My favorite Su's vocal performaces has to be Amore and Shine. Literaly can bring tears to eyes
No Rain No Rainbow as well
Love your reactions! Babymetal are always amazing live. Please, check out "Shanti Shanti Shanti" from them. I am sure you'll love it
Awesome reaction! Megitsune is one of their best for sure!! Some of the best/essential BabyMetal that you haven't heard yet:
Akatsuki (Live Black Night): ruclips.net/video/g2372C5PJLM/видео.html
Karate M/V: ruclips.net/video/GvD3CHA48pA/видео.html
Syncopation: ruclips.net/video/1eLuB5CoryM/видео.html
Kagerou: ruclips.net/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/видео.html
omg i havent listened to babymatal in years!!! now that you reacted to them I relistened to them and it feels a bit like a HS nostalgia haha
back then and even now this is my favorite song from them
Just now getting to Megitsune??!!! Such a classic song and music video (even though you watched the live version) 🤘🦊🤘
Good!!
If you haven't reacted to 'syncopation' , give it a try, it my most favorite track from Babymetal. My top 3 is
1 syncopation
2 catch me if you can
3 megitsune
But their whole discography is a blast!!
my fave babymetal song is Kagerou live with Kami band intro
You need to watch the music video for this one, it is awesome!
Now you can go and check out the official video for the song 😀 You'll enjoy that too.
Love this song. I think a better show of Su-Metal vocals, in my opinion only, is the song Amore.
Su's vocals on this track make me tear up immediately
the best concerts i've seen are iron maiden, acdc and babymetal...babymetal concerts are awesome
I didn’t realise you haven’t heard this one yet! It’s my absolute favourite
I thought the same thing! Like this far in, how has he not done this one yet? 😂
The first time i know this band start from 2013 years , every time if i see baby metal never bored to watch
Without Su, this does not happen. Remember she is our goddess and she is perfection.
When I first discovered BABYMETAL I was like wow this song is great. Lets check another. What? This song is GREAT TOO! Lets check another. WOW. another great song. Ok can they do it again? Another! I was happily amazed with each and every song and seeing them perform it makes it even better. 🤘🦊🤘
Megitsune is just one of their best songs. 👍
One of my favourites ( it keeps changing ) but always in my top 5 .
Syncopation is another in my top 5 .
Went to see them at Brixton Academy in London 2019 . Was 2nd guessing what would be on set list .
Stright off Megitsune was opening song build up was great audience just went nuts when lights went on .
Never thought Syncopation would be performed as it has not been performed a lot and never outside Japan . Then Syncopations intro a long build up started . atmosphere went up a few notches and everyone scrambling to get phones , cameras out . So lucky to see it . Well worth you reacting to it just see you losing it " AGAIN " 🤣😁🤘🦊🤘
I concur! Syncopation is in my top 5 for sure!
@@anirisleafblade1673 😁🤘🦊
7:37 "Maidens… should not be underestimated." in the original video from 9 years ago, Su reveals that her microphone conceals a dagger.
Dude I love your reactions, its ok you're speechless Babymetal does that! #notacult
No worries about blurr.....I`ve got the concert on disc ;)
You say look at a lot, but then don't let anybody see. Megitsune must be watched. That the true God!! The Fox God!
Kitsune = fox (male) and Megitsune = vixen / female fox. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 The first 20 seconds of this song are a play on one of the most well-known (in Japan) folk songs called 'Sakura, sakura' (cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms) and whilke they kept the tune, the worrds were changed. It's a lovely little 2 minute folk song and, if you're interested, it's here - ruclips.net/video/jqpFjsMtCb0/видео.html . That moment when Su does her kick, she says "Maidens, don't underestimate us!" which you already know is true! It's a line from a gangster film that's well-known in Japan. Oh, and sitting watching Babymetal with your jaw on the floor is quite normal and we've all been there so don't fret! 🦊🤘🤘🦊
Babymetal is incredible, dont Know if you already listens this songs but try Kagerou, akatsushi, No rain No rambow, starlight and shine and distortion
If you want to react to a newer more mature version of BM try Kagerou live with kami intro - if anything Sui's vocals are getting better !! Quite a heavy track too!!
Great reaction. 'Megitsune' is a difficult song to sing - so Su-metal uses it for sound checks and to check how she is sounding before concerts.
You did well finding the Budokan Red Night performance (it is blocked in many countries - the Black Night version from the next night is the one most people see).
It is not just your new favourite - it often tops fan polls for favourite song and they have played it live more often than any other song.
It is arguably the song that showcases best what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains the fox mask Su has in the breakdown) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive.
It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional female role in Japanese society I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength.
They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong.
The build up before they started and the breakdown in the middle of the song (yes that was pig squeal screams you heard, they are more obvious in the studio recording) uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms).
When Su said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
I like watching those fan recordings of her doing sound check with Megitsune cause it's all acapella.
Jeez thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this my friend 🤘
Great reaction and as usual, the song you listen/react to becomes your new favourite. Check out the official mv, which is absolutely great. Megitsune is all about woman empowerment, the lyrics are about woman having to smile all the time even when they cry on the inside. This is by far not the best performance of the song but still frigging amazing especially considering that Su was 16 at the time. She often uses it for the sound checks before their shows since she is also considering the song as one of the most difficult ones for herself. These days they often use the breakdown in the middle (after Su grabbed the fox mask) for call and response with the crowd to hype them up even more.
As for your next song, you may want to check out “Iine”, the official mv is probably best (you will know why after you reacted to it lol). I need to double check if you haven’t seen it already tho :)
Ah thank you so much for the breakdown! Appreciate you!
Oh another I can't wait to hear!
Fraaaaaaaaank
@@TheFoxholeRUclips my maaaaaannnnn!
For me watching reactors faces is best part.. words are no match for the face!
My first song was "Gimme Chocolate". You have to take in consideration with the lyrics that chocolate especially at valentines day has a special meaning to it in Japan. Girls make chocolate themselves (for some part) for their boyfriends/fiances/husbands.
Perhaps a little bit late for that comment (I'm just discovering your channel) but in the japanese language every syllable is spoken independately. So it is:
Meh-Gee-Tsoo-Neh
But sometimes vocals are silent as in "Desu". It is mostly spoken like "Des". A good example would be the lyrics to "Gimme Chocolate" (another one of my favorites as mentioned above).
ty for the information, cool
Su's got you, man. There's no escape.
This is my favorite song by Babymetal too.
I love Babymetal's Road of Resistance, Karate and Megitsune.
But when i came even deeper into Japanesse rock/metal, i discovered even better female rock/metal bands, they're not that popular, but they're as good or even better.
Unlucky Morpheus, vocalist Fuki (symphonic metal) - Angreifer, is the best song from this band, but they've got a lot of great metal. The female vocalist Fuki, is one of the best vocalists i've heard.
Fuki also got solo performances, you definitelly need to check the video "SYU from GALNERYUS（GUEST VOCAL：Fuki）「REASON」". One if not the my favourite metal song.
Foreground Eclipse, vocalist: mostly Merami (melodic metal, doujin metal) - it's a band that mostly covered songs from a game Touhou, i don't know if they even did live performances, but their recorded songs are amazing. Really good instrumentals too.
Shinigiwa Satellite - it's very similar to Foreground Eclipse, and the vocalist is also Merami. But to be honest, Shinigiwa Satellite has better songs than FGE.
Release Hallucination - i think it's a duo, of the vocalist and her husband/boyfriend, they don't live perform (anyway it would be impossible for him to play drums and guitar at the same time LIVE xd). They're pretty new, not all of their songs are good, but they've got two BANGERS! "Chronostasis" and "I.F.".
Hello from Akron Ohio USA! I love watching your reactions to Babymetal. The song that got me hooked was karate. A "trippy" video to watch is Shanti Shanti Shanti. It shows that they can do damn near anything they want! Oh and by the way, it's not a rabbit hole that you've gone down, it's a fox hole. 😉 keep up the good work mate. I'm looking forward to the next Babymetal reaction.
I am always amazed that Su can still kill it vocally all while doing a full on hardcore aerobic workout! Props to all the ladies, but Su, you are my Queen!
Also the band 🎸🎸🎸🥁
Recommending you take a look at some of their "newer" stuff. A lot of it is very different from what you've listened to so far, but (in my opinion) a lot of it showcases the charisma and talent of the girls more, while still allowing the band to shine. A couple recommendations would be BxMxC, Syncopation, Shanti Shanti Shanti (very different), and Brand New Day (also very different).
Nice one.
One of my favourite Babymetal songs.
For recommendations I would suggest 'Amore', a Su solo and the Live at Wembley 2016.
A masterpiece with guitar and bass solo's.
Amore - Live at Wembley in 2016 ruclips.net/video/35lj_XEjqYU/видео.html
Great reaction....on a side note, UpChurch dropped Superstar yesterday. I know how love some Church!!!
One of my favourites from Babymetal. Definitely also recommend Shanti Shanti; and The One
Some other Japanese bands I have to recommend are:
JRock:
MY FIRST STORY (Taka's youngest brother Hiro is the vocalist), especially their songs: Fukagyaku Replace; Alone; Missing You; Shissō Flame [失踪FLAME]; Paradox (song for the Japanese version of The Matrix Resurrections); Hana-0714- [花-0714-]; Shūen Requiem [終焉レクイエム]; Hiro's First Take of Hyena; and Hiro's cover of See You Again by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth]
Given (an anime but also the name of the band in said anime), especially Fuyu no Hanashi; Yorugaakeru; Uragawa no Sonzai; and Hetakuso
Centimillimental (singer-songwriter, lyricist, composer and guitarist who also did songs for Given), especially Kizuato; Tsuiraku [対落]; and Seishun no Denbu
GRANRODEO (they have done so many of my favourite anime openings/endings), especially Rimfire; Memories; Trash Candy; and -7- seven (in collaboration with FLOW)
FLOW (again they've done a few of my favourite anime openings/endings, but also some JRock too), especially -7- seven (in collaboration with GRANRODEO); Go!!!; Sign; Oneness; and Innosense
OLDCODEX (again they've done a few of my favourite anime openings/endings, but also some JRock too), especially Catal Rhythm; Rage On; Deal With; Eyes in Chase; and HEAVEN
Stereopony, especially Hitohira no Hanabira; and Stand By Me
Survive Said The Prophet - Follow
JPop:
BiSH, especially My Landscape; and More Than Like
Flower, especially Monokuro and Yasashisade Afureruyouni
Ikimono-Gakari (they have done some of my favourite anime openings and endings), especially Blue Bird; Hanabi; and Netsujou no Spectrum
YUI, especially Rolling Star; My Generation; and Never Say Die
It’s simple. Su Metal is the most perfect human.
No rain, no rainbow 🌧️🌈
I rank Megitsune as my number one favorite of my top 5 BABYMETAL songs with Catch Me If You Can (Budokan Black Night 2014) a VERY close second! I do like the 10 BABYMETAL Budokan (Doomsday 1 & 2) performance of Megitsune the best of all the live versions I've heard so far.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。You are great because you are intrigued by Su's vocal ability presented in this song. In an interview Su-Metal said ◆ This song is mixture of various elements ; very fast but smooth, hard but beautiful etc. ◆ This is her tuning song because it includes various factors for singing in a well-balanced manner. So she always sings Megitsune in rehearsal to confirm her vocal condition. Su actually said "in a sense, it is a song of criterion for me". (source : Tokion Vol.7 2020-12-24)
Last year 2021, 8 years after this video, BM performed this popular song in each and every show of 10 BABYMETAL Budokan concerts, at the very same venue. Su's voice is matured and Moa's dance moves are more elegant, elastic, playful, and yet sharp and agitating to crowds. I was enchanted whenever I witnessed it.
you have to see the official video of megitsune.
Please react to YAVA-LIVE.
There is doubt that you will be fascinated by the cuteness of SU-METAL
I concur! YAVA! also needs to be on the list.
I stumbled across BxMxC one night about 2 months ago... and have been listening to them and bingeing reactions videos ever since. 🤘🦊🤘
My favorite babymetal song is Syncopation, you should totally give it a listen whenever you decide to listen to another babymetal song 😁
I concur! Syncopation is one of my top 5 BabyMetal songs for sure!
You should watch the mv. Humour me. Just do it. Just don't be like other people and take your eye off the screen and miss something very important that Su does about 2/3 of the way through the music video...😈😈😈
BABYMETAL Tales of The Destinies please react!
Please go watching : the one and no rain no rainbow ....youll cry...😁
This is a good one to watch the official Music Video...
🎶🎶🦊👁️👁️🦊🎶🎶
I would like to see you react to the music video for Karate and Megitsune. Those are my two faves and the official music videos really do them the most justice.
I concur! Love the live versions too, but those M/Vs are essential to seeing the evolution of BabyMetal.
Great reaction, since every piece of BabyMetal never get bored, the official MV of this song is also very good and worth to do a reaction for, hope to see that one coming too bro, Kitsune up 🤟🦊🤟
One important Babymetal song not covered yet is 'Syncopation' - they played this song for the first time outside of Japan in Brixton a few years ago. An absolute class song. Would also recommend 'Yava' , 'GJ' , 'The One'(specially written for the fans) guitar riff in that is very complex and has to be constantly repeated throughout the song. 'Night Night Burn' - a nice homage to Latino music - they'll have a go at anything 😀 Take good care of yourself!
Something they do in a lot of performances of Megitsune, which they didn't do here, is address the crowd during the bit where Su-Metal is holding her kitsune mask, it's so sweet her addressing each location
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grab your tissues and watch The one.
I discovered babymetal because of this song. I really didn't know what it was going to mean to me...
music, choreography, and the voice of SU... is incredible.
It's a masterpiece, and then... I realized that it's not the only one.
please keep enjoying everything that babymetal has given us and we will enjoy it with you.
greetings from Spain :)

🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Every new song is a new favorite. SORE
all vowels are pronounced in Japanese. So, it is Me-Git-Su-Ne.
Is it really all vowels? Just genuinely asking. Coz words like "desu" and "akatsuki" have silent vowels, right?
Ah thank you! ❤️
@@suzoto-g8288 As a general rule it is what I have heard except the U may sometimes be silent or almost silent - as in your two examples.
Actually, Me-Gi-Tsu-Ne as in メギツネ
@@erniesbudolab that's true
Speaking of build up mastery and vocal performance, this is only your new favorite until you hear Syncopation.
This isn't their best song for me, but it's for sure good enough to make the list 🤘🦊🤘
Yeah. Syncopation is pretty awesome.
Syncopation was initially absent on albums outside of Japan.
As a Japanese person, I could understand why.
The syncopated tune is very Japanese and old-fashioned.
I don't think anyone could have predicted that this would be accepted in countries other than Japan.
@@nekonoke the first time I heard Syncopation was the Foxhole event horizon.
There's no coming back from that 🤘🦊🤘
Greetings from Canada 🙂
ruclips.net/video/Odb9Zy0YdOc/видео.html
The "Road of Resistance" live performance Is definitely something you need to see
If you haven't yet, you should watch the official "Megitsune" music video. In addition to being such a good song, the video also has parts that are so adorably cute.
can you react to yava next please?
Linda Ronstadt, Chuck Berry, Keith Richards "Back in the USA" please
Damn,
now that's the first (sry second time) i saw such an emotional reaction for that!
Saw your "Rondo of Nightmare" Reaction, that blows me away.
If you want to do another reaction video of babymetal, you should try the Live Compilation Version of "Syncopation"...(ruclips.net/video/Odb9Zy0YdOc/видео.html)
This song is my favourite and the first "metal/kawaii metal" song that made me cry, because it's sooo damn good!!
Let me know what you think & keep up the awesome and emotional reaction. That's a follow bud!
No Rain No Rainbow from Hiroshima. You can thank me after.
this song gives me chills EVERYtime this is my alarm for 5:30 Am XD
I was feeling bad after watching one terrible reaction video recently, but your reaction helped me get rid of it. Thank you very much.
Megitsune is my all-time favorite ❤also even if it's in your own time, you MUST check out the MV for this, it's their best MV hands down!
Greetings from Russia! Congratulations on getting acquainted with the cult song BABYMETAL! This song just blew my mind when I first watched a live performance with her. This is one of several BABYMETAL tracks where several genres of music are intertwined in a song! My most favorite songs are "Shine", "Sis. Anger" and "BxMxC". So far, their turn has not reached them, but I think that after getting acquainted with the classics, it's time to get acquainted with BLACK BABYMETAL, where Yui and Moa sing, and I can't imagine anything better than Sis.Anger for this! I promise, it will be a very heavy song, you haven't heard this from our girls yet! I'm sure it will get into the list of your favorite tracks! This version has improved quality. ruclips.net/video/hnRHf62k9j0/видео.html
And after that, you should definitely watch "Trilogy of lights", consisting of the songs "Starlight", "Shine" and "Arkadia".
In the first song we see the pain of losing a dear person, the guitarist of the band Mikio Fujioka. He died falling from the observation deck while watching the stars.
The second song is like gratitude for the meeting, and the words that his light will shine inside our hearts. This song just tore my soul apart, and even after a few dozen auditions, just when I write these words and think about it, I get goosebumps all over my body.
And the third song is like a hymn about overcoming and the words that their path will not stop, that they will continue to go the way they all dreamed of going.
I'm sure you'll like it. Put your kitsune up!🦊🤘
Now you need to watch the opposite song from Doki Doki Morning, Uki Uki Midnight
Recommending Yava from Babymetal, a really underrated track that i'll think you'll really appreciate.
