"Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) -
As far as I'm concerned, this is not just a classic BABYMETAL song, but a Metal classic.
Here's Su-metal talking about 'Road of Resistance' in a 2016 interview:
"I feel like it expresses who I am.
I think that the world view of this song is one that is a theme of a time similar to that of the era of the warring states in Japan.
But differing from that time, this is not about a anguishing type of battle but rather a battle that we fight so that all of us can become as One, you could say.
A sense of accomplishment comes into being when we overcome some kind of difficulty and because we have overcome obstacles together we can all become a unified One.
Thinking along those lines that is probably why I always think that performing live shows is kind of like fighting a battle."
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This anthemic song was played in the latest show on Jan.28/29 this year, and I ran in the circle pit for the first time in my life. 😄 The crowd involvement (mosh pit, call & response, chant etc.) occurs wherever they go on this planet. American people also did good job in any of 20 shows during BM's 2019 US Tour. For example, you will find videos showing 17,500 audiences doing the same chanting (even much longer one) at the Forum, CA on Oct. 11, 2019. In your video, Su shouted some words at 09:07 meaning "Bring them on!". Fans analyzed that the provocative shout was thrown at people who had been ignoring, underrating, mocking, hating and even trying to discredit BABYMETAL. That shout may have been necessary in 2015 but not any longer. She shouted it rarely since then. In the shows last weekend, she sung this song with happy smile.
The girls, however, have grown up into beautiful ladies, no cute girls any longer. The maturity add more attractiveness to this band.
Suddenly yesterday, after a long time, the official music video for BABYMETAL's new song was released. We're all into it now.
Great reaction, thanks!
This was the final encore of the "New Year Fox Festival" held on January 10th 2015 at Saitama Super Arena with a sold out crowd of 20.000+ people. And this was the epic closer for an epic show: 90+ minutes performed with this level of energy. It's crazy.
Also the crowd interaction was very important here. Su-metal still remembers this moment with all the audience chanting along as one of her favorites on stage. She also made this song her personal anthem. And you can tell she was on fire, specially during the second half of the song, by her non verbal expression and even shouting on a certain moment: "Kakatte koiya!" (Bring it on!).
Until next time!
Its called a wall of death when the people back up and run at each other.

Thanks for this reaction !
Babymetal has not done a strike very often, it's extremely rare. Blocked and claimed, etc. do happen though. Some people put in the comments 'copyright strike' when they really mean blocked, they don't know the difference.
When lead singer, Su-metal, as a little girl or young woman, but definitely not tall, gestures, the crowd just does what she asks them to do. No security needed. From little girls up to big grown men.
Yes, this performance is very much 'arena rock'-like, Babymetal just incorporates anything they think is cool. Ideas from different cultures and music (sub)genres.
You are very right about the dances being hard because of the workout, Babymetal limits their shows in length because of it or occasionally creates some small pauses, but for the audience it's also a workout, because of the crowd interaction and the fast pace of the music. That especially Su-metal can sing doing all that is a small miracle that took a lot of hours of hard work, but they build it up over the years of course.
No, people are not picked to do the moshing, etc. people just do it, other people around them will make the room. It's all audience led.
Babymetal are the master class in having audience participation, they know exactly what hints to give to the crowd and what does and doesn't work. And even improve on that during a tour.
Great reaction. This video was from January 2015 at the Saitama Super Arena. Su was 17, Yui and Moa only 15 and that was over 20,000 people completely under their control. Even at that age Su just looks at the crowd, spreads her arms and the crowd opens up for a wall of death (actually several walls of death at that concert as the crowd were in sections. A journalist up in the balcony that night said he counted, i think it was, 21 mosh pits).
They do not pick people or have people go into the crowd to open the wall of death or to organise the circle pits ... the crowds do that for themselves.
This was the end of a 90 minute concert and yes, they had been keeping that same energy up without any drop in quality for the whole time. It is what they do - they appreciate people have often paid a lot of money and travelled a long way to see them, they never give anything less than 100% for every song at every concert, whether that is one of their big arena concerts in Japan or at the many various sized venues as they tour the world.
You talked about their choreo - no it is not like you will get with a pop act where the steps and movements are just taken from the standard dance step grab bag - you may also notice there is nothing sexual or suggestive about BABYMETAL's choreo.
BABYMETAL's choreo is bespoke for each song and serves two main purposes: 1 it helps with interpreting the meaning of the song or a lyric - they are not just dancing to the beat, they are performing the song; 2 it is designed to lead the crowd, to get everybody involved letting them know when to jump, when to pump their fists, when to shout etc and basically it is intended that everybody in the crowd becomes involved, joining in and that they are an important part of the performance.
This was the official video, they actually cut that outro short by at least a couple of minutes while the girls went to each different side of the stage to shout "We are ... BABYMETAL" with as many of the audience as they could get near to.
As well as that long central bridge out to the small stage there were two more bridges at either end of the stage leading to a couple more small stages that they used at various points in the show.
About the song itself. 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, I'm not sure the translation really works so well to convey what it is really about, but it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about forging your own road even where a road doesn't already exist, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way.
It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow.
Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce did the guitar arrangements for this song (it is the only one they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version.
This is a power metal song. If you would like an 80s style rock ballad then Su-metal's solo song 'No Rain, No Rainbow' is what you're after (ideally the Legend S performance from 2017).
are you just copying and pasting this comment (with slight edits) on every reaction to this song?
@@Erawk No. Less than half of this comment was copied and pasted ... and even if I was, the different reactors haven't read it before and they might find it helpful. I will copy and paste bits that are relevant for the reactor, it would take a long time to do it all from scratch every time.
I'm sure if you have any interesting information or opinion about the song or performance or feedback for the reactors they would love you to share it in a comment of your own. If you did it well you could then use it again for other reactors (with slight edits).
@@Grington300 🙄
@@Erawk Nothing constructive to add then? Thought not 😶😴
@@Grington300 to a conversation with someone as sanctimonious as you? No. You obviously feel this information is so important to share and so vital to these reactors' lives that you can't help yourself. I'll happily pass.
4:41 _Now Pizza Time! (Pizza Time!)_ 🦊🤘🍕
Thanks for hearing our suggestions and coming back with more BM songs, fans always appreciate when reactors are taking a risk when reacting to certain BM songs heavily blocked.
The One (BM fandom) is excited once again with the new "METAL KINGDOM" official MV released a couple of hours ago from upcoming album "The Other One", a couple of live performances were held in January 28 - 29 returning to the stage after almost two years, we got more news and announcements along with more live shows in April 1 (Fox Day) later they will join Sabaton's Europe Tour as a special guests.
So far no one is having any copyright blocked issues reacting to the new singles so don't worry about it, but my suggestion is to stick with early BM songs before jumping to this new era with more mature sound.
_Road Of Resistance_ is a power/speed metal song, is one of their most epic anthem and got the guitar arrangements made by Sam Totman and Herman Li from DragonForce, and is all about facing your own path without looking back.
The wall of death is nuts just like you noticed, is also called "mosh'sh pit", different from usual mosh pit because this one is safe to participate if you fall everyone will stop until you get up and get ready to keep going with the fun ride, but you gotta be careful not losing your shoes, towels, tickets or even your smartphone like recently in those concerts.😱
This was part of the Trilogy Of 2015 series of concerts, live at New Year Fox Festival - Saitama Super Arena, is the last song of the encore they performed and finishing the show. By this time their fame was already high due to viral success on YT of Gimme Chocolate! MV, people from all over the world attended this live concert in Japan, and 20K souls witnessed this epic moment.
With only 15 and 17 years old this moment will be forever remember when they performing this song to reminds them all the support they got from their fans no matter where they go, either a small or big stages.
The Kami Band here are magnificent set of elite musicians who were send to help the girls with the metal sound, they rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (specially the guitarrists), all of them are males.
BM fans love some members of this band but none of them are official members of this group not even permanent, they only play live, so when you heard album tracks remember they aren't playing there.
In this case they are:
- Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording certain songs.
- Takayoshi Ohmura, god of guitar, he's Míkio' Fujioka's pupil (another beloved Kami Band guitarist who sadly past away) and a prodigy child, you'll see his recognizable pink guitar or golden in other moments.
- BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but her fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP.
- Hideki Aoyama, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father is very famous in Japanese music scene.
At the end of their shows they always said "We are BabyMetal!" with the crowd, to making them sure that they're part of this show and project too, is a line borrowed to X-Japan saying it at live concerts too.
If you like this type of metal genre then you're gonna love another previous song from first album called *"Ijime Dame Zettai"* live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 and witness a precious and epic moment on their career. You can find that clip in the official channel but just be careful coz sometimes is getting blocked issues.
Thanks for sharing this, beautiful megitsune. Hopefully this won't be blocked.🙏❤️
See you next time and kitsune up! 🦊🤘🔥
The girls are getting older , but their music never gets old . Nice reaction thank you.
Great reaction by a charming lady. I enjoy everything you post. And yes the girls ended the concert with "See You" and the audience answered back "See You"
I’m just starting the video. Are you familiar with the Babymetal Reactors Resource? You can get around copyright issues if you use it.
It's just videos with a logo over them. There is nothing preventing them from being blocked or copyright striked in the future.
@@Jordan-Ramses that “Logo” prevents visual copyright
A few years years ago I thought I’d add in a BABYMETAL choreo program to my workouts… lasted two days before I gave up thinking I was going to throw something out.
Babymetal "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live" !!! (This showcases the Kami band the most out of all their songs)
Well done
This girls are just insane
But you also should check their last video live
It just drop about 3 hours a go
It is insane
METAL KINGDOM
THIS ONE IS FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM
THE OTHER ONE
JUST INSANE
Stand up and shout! (Shout!) Justice Forever!
Great reaction.
great reaction, this song is one of my favorites🤘🏼🦊
fun fact: Herman Li of the band Dragonforce helped write some of the guitar and drum segments of this song
👊🏽⚡️nice reaction. There are some live footage from their Download performance in 2018 where there were 2 new dancers performing with Su and Moa. Halfway through the song you could see the 2 new dancers were gassed and trying to catch their breath. Su and Moa looked fine and rested. Those two are world class athletes as well as world class entertainers.
Now, babymetal is booming with their latest live music video (Metal Kingdom).😀😀
A song written to make you want to get up and storm the castle! :)
The song that sealed the deal for me on becoming with The One. 🤘🦊🤘❤️
Nice reaction. Babymetal showing how to do an Epic performance. And they did that at the end of the concert. Babymetal everything you want in music and somethings you didn't know you needed. See You... Kawaii
If u want a lyric for this song: ruclips.net/video/qnNYG4bR5rM/видео.html with english subtitles. Version of 2017 (2 years later than video u react)
thx for reaction!
Baby metal has new music out it’s bomb I found it on Spotify loved this reaction
Ninjas. They are ninjas.
There is a specific RUclips channel for reaction videos mostly that has a lot of their pro shot live performances with watermarks to avoid the copyrights.
Nice to have you doing Babymetal again. Yeah they are a bit bitchy with copyright, I've not heard of them issuing strikes tho, but you never know, maybe we just didn't hear about it.
btw one day I was scrolling the feed of my FGC twitter account and suddenly you appeared in the pic of some kof tournament not long ago xD I had to roll up thinking "hey wait wtf what is the reaction girl doing here" xD
For future reference, most of the videos from their official channel tend to be risky as far as copyright blocks, with the exception of festival performances. Other live stuff, on the other hand, isn't very risky at all. Anything before early 2014 will _almost_ always go through just fine (with the exception of Budokan Red Night, even though Budokan Black Night is safe), while anything after will _almost_ always get blocked. It's not risky if you know the outcome 😉
Anyway, this was great and I would love to see more BM from you in the future!
this is how it goes "Dying the eastern sky true red, the light of the signal fire marks the end of the darkness of solitude, let it be your guide. Even if you are crushed again and again, let your inner fire burn! Now is the time! Is the time! This moment right now, is the time! Is the time! We'll do it together. Just now is the time! Is the time! I sing for the you of tomorrow. Now the time has come. Go for Resistance! Resistance! Our hearts are one. If you believe in your way go on even if you have to forge your own path! Forever! Forever! The hot Metal spirit burns in the depths of our hearts. It is our Resistance."
This is an encore type song for the end of the concert.
No security was necessary as Empress Su commanded it to be so.
nice reaction!
First of all, they have love and trust in their audience.
Audiences react to it.
Circulating.
It's impressive how the lead singer, Su-Metal, catches back the audience singing more and more off keys. At the age of 16 having such kind of control, is beyond reasoning. No contempt intended... maybe she got some ear plugs with the show runner telling her to get the audience back on track. But even then it still would be impressive for a 16 yrs old girl to go on like this. And yes: I completely agree, too. It's their silly dancing and hopping which captivates me most of the time. That really needs lots of stamina! Wonder how their training looks like!
🤘🦊🤘
3:27 - Not a security thing. This is called Wall of Death, the crowd knows what she's doing here and oblige.
At the end, se you, are so cute and adorable!
I love baby metal so that was so good reaction from you and keep rocking on! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
BABYMETAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
I hope they play that in Sydney, love that song, it's so good 😎
Excelente ! Good Job ! Please check The best son by BabyMetal so far : Rondo of NightMare with intro Mischafe of Metal Gods . Real live performance in Budokan Black Night 2014. Please Please Please.
They didnt need security to open up the pit, the people would literally get on their knees if the girls ever gestured for it, especially in Japan.
SU-metal is amazing. The stamina. Great reaction. Love from Sweden
I heard that they used to practice singing while running on a treadmill.
They don't "security seperate" anyone in the crowd.
SuSu wants a wall of death, so a wall of death she gets.
Very very nice idea. put the raindrop to avoid copyright. Well done :)

No busques más géneros para nombrarlas simplemente hacen Power Metal, te lo dice uno que empezó en 1980 a escuchar HEAVY METAL 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Security doesn't make the Wall of Death, the fans do. See also: Exodus (the band, not the Bible, LOL!)

New songs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hahaha 😝 keep playing Headbanger!
Really enjoyed your thoughtful reaction again. One thought, for myself I've found over the years that an even great song can be ruined by less than great lyrics. The fact that I don't speak Japanese -but do enjoy the way it sounds-allows me to just enjoy the whole package without being distracted by lyrics I may or may not enjoy. Just speaking for myself here.
The One ❤❤❤
Cute metal genre.

I prefer nonexperts as reactors, its more real and most YT experts are on YT for a reason. 😂😂
If they were that good they'd be getting reacted to not being reactors. 😂😂
A little bit to much interruption
Suzuka Nakamoto doesn't dance as much as Yui and Moa. She does the bulk of the singing. But it definitely affects her. She had some vocal backing tracks in this song. Su is singing along with her own voice in a slight harmony. Babymetal fans can get mad at me but i can hear it. She sings much better in her solo songs when she does almost no dancing.
it's 2023 ALL bands of this stature incorporate backing tracks, totally nothing wrong with it..
@@stangcobra592 I agree. I listen to Vocaloid:) Singing isn't even a rare talent. Most people can learn to sing.
Great is an totally inadequate adjective to describe BM's crowd control. Who has better on planet earth? I know A LOT of music genre's and I can't name one band or a single artist present day. Current top 40 pop is pure garbage with no performer worthy of worship..
