The original music video is different than the live, but not in a bad way. There's pig squeals in the original. And the video tells a haunting story. It's still worth watching. It's an iconic video.
It is, definitely worth watching, especially for the mic-knife 😎
@@tanewoodley9806 SPOILERS! But, yeah.... that.
Megitsune quite possibly is the epitome of what Babymetal is to me. This song was just as good in its original form as it is now. It has truly stood the the test of time and will still be amazing a decade from now. Was the #1 performance I was most excited about when seeing them in Nashville this summer and I was on the rail for the entire set
If you want the 'original' version, the official music video would be the most optimal to watch for that.
Agreed👊🏽⚡️The original official is great. It would be a good history lesson especially if coupled with Su, Moa, And Yui’s commentary on the video shoot. 🦊🤘🏾

One of the elements that you don't hear at all or very well during the live performances but really stands out on the official video/studio version are the pig squeals during the breakdown. I believe Megitsune is the only BABYMETAL song that has them and they make the breakdown sound so brutal! 🤘🦊🤘
And this performance also didn't show Su-metal moves at 12:30
Nice reaction guys. Not to worry I think. The original mv is such a representation of the time it was made and ages of the gals that you don't really end up wanting to compare them. They are wonderful statements from skilled performers in different settings and different times in their lives. That said this PIA Arena version really is fire.
10yrs ago, on RUclips we wondered What does the Fox say..... Babymetal has answered. 😁😁😁😁🤘🦊🤘
Megitsune was the first single released by Babymetal as an independent act after separating from their parent Idol group Sakura Gakuin in 2013. As mentioned, the studio version (used for the official MV) provides a wonderful documentation of Su-’s voice immediately following the adolescent change. A must-hear for any Su- admirer. I am grateful that producer Kobametal even left in the artifacts of her inhales.
Su- was encouraged to sing the song in Japanese Enka style. And while at age 15 she couldn't do the melodramatic wide vibrato seemingly characteristic of the style, we do get to hear her wonderfully sweet narrow vibrato especially as she belts out the final chorus. In the Nemophila cover Mayu does add that vibrato in at least one place while still honoring the Su-metal performance standard overall.
The song itself has a special feature in that the melody used in the breakdown (and the intro in this PIA performance) is an old and well-known Japanese folk song: Sakura Sakura (Cherry Blossoms).
The official MV has its special moments as well. It opens with Yui and Moa pulling on the obi (sash) holding Su-chan's kimono as she twirls and transforms into Su-metal. And later in the song there is the spoken line where [spoiler redacted].
The official MV was my introduction to Babymetal back in 2015 and my first reaction was summed up by a later reactor who said: "They're kids! They're just kids!" 😅 But everything about the song, the performance, the production, and the palpable charisma of those "kids" made me a fan for life. 🤘🦊
Great reaction guys! The official mv is surely worth watching/reacting to since not only it gives you an insight into Su’s voice and vocal abilities 10 years ago but also provides some visual background infos about the song :). Any live version sounds great tho, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Oh btw don’t apologise for picking the Glastonbury version for Shanti x3, to me it sounded ok but several other songs of that performance were plaqued with sound issues, bad sound mix, etc, which is why the fans recommend to avoid it.
Megitsune is defo a fan favourite and usually a stable part of their show. As such, they played it last Saturday (March 2nd) at the Legend MM show and I had the pleasure to enjoy it at the Yokohama Arena and it was fantastic as always. 🤘🔥🦊
I'm not positive, but I believe this is the Western Kami band, and the drummer here is Anthony Barone.
"Nobody puts them in a corner."
Channeling Captain America, I understood that reference!
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner" - Dirty Dancing, 1987 ....adapted by me to "Nobody puts Babymetal in the Corner" 2024
The Captain America quote was itself a reference.
Megitsune /メギツネ. メ-meh, ギ -ghee, ツ -tsu, ネ -neh. Meh-ghee-tsu-neh. The "g" is a hard G like in gun. Like the word "key" but with a g instead of a k.
Great reaction, glad you guys finally checked this one out! You’re right, this is one of the best versions out there.
Su’s spoken part is a quote from a Japanese gangster movie. Similar vibes as if someone quoted Scarface, but the female version.
Other suggestions:
*For festivals:* Metrock 2015 has some of the best crowd moments, but all songs you’ve checked out. There are logo’d videos for copyrights.
*Night Night Burn (Legend Metal Galaxy 2020):* Flamenco/Salsa!
*Kagerou (Legend Metal Galaxy 2020):* Kami West solos!
*Divine Attack (Pia Arena MM):* Su wrote this song, and one of my favorites.
*Light and Darkness (Pia Arena MM):* A melodic song with epic vocals and some awesome guitar and drum fills.
*Syncopation (Fox Festival 2017):* One of their first songs that has a more mature feel from their 2nd album.
*No Rain No Rainbow (Official, Live / Legend S):* Another Su-solo, and an emotional metal ballad, copyright warnings though.
Look forward to more! 🤘🦊
4:52 Reaction start
_Sore!_ 🦊🤘🔥
One of BM early era and quintessential songs.
Don't miss out the official MV.👍
me think " Megitsune Metrock 2015 " is one of the best version.
Todo ese concierto es una maravilla
Tokyo 2016 was better in my opinion but yes Metrock is so good too.
Original MV? Of course. Yes please.
The office MV is my favorite Babymetal video
The interlude during kive really levels up this already beautiful song..
Another great reaction! Your pronunciation is much better than most people, but with Megitsune the "gi" sound is closer to the "ge" sound in geezer (that's me)
The intro at BABYMETAL live shows tend to be long since the ladies do need to catch their breath, water from their precious song.... (basically they have no intermissions)
Please give us more! 🦊🦊🦊
This is undoubtedly one of the best live performances of Megitsune, but the original music video is also worth a watch since it's such an iconic part of Babymetal lore.
Megitsune is one of the few songs I would actually say.. Check the music vid .. as it is definitely comparable to their always awesome live versions. Great vid!!! Karate is the other music vid that is on par with the live stuff... both kickass!! ... had to edit... you really should check the original music vid.. just to see how ridiculously young and amazing they were when they did this song when compared to now. It's their old school stuff and it's the best!!!!
I have never seen you so quiet as in the end of the song, you were totally shocked, babymetal did it again.
Shanti Shanti Shanti at Glastonbury is probably the least bad of the Glastonbury set.
i’m so glad you guys did babymetal again💗 i’m so happy to see you react to any song by them
Saw this live at Legend MM - Friggin Awesome!!
I can't believe you didn't already react to No rain no rainbow live Legend S Baptism XX for the 20th birthday of Susuka.
Su totally nails this while there is other versions this one has that special touch Su can add to a live song,number 1 imo.
Babymetal is so amazing. Saw them last year, can't wait to see them again live
Definitely watch the original Megitsune Music Video, it's classic and has some great moments!
I love this live version without the pig squealing during the breakdown! It sounds so much cleaner hearing the band and the ancient melody. That said, the original recording is a classic and how we got here to start with.
And THAT gentleman is how to hype a crowd !!!
And yes now that you have seen the great LIVE performance go back and react to the wonderful MV. It is of one of their best Babymetal MV's produced (the other being the original Karate MV).
My opinion of course.
This song have a much deeper meaning about women. Basically men can grab and touch female at workers without repercussions and so much more. The drummer Anthony Barone is a master. This is a master Piece. Love from sweden.
FYI,Saki from Nemophila is a huge BABYMETAL fan so they did a cover of this song. You should react to their video of it. Also BABYMETAL will be hosting a 2 day festival this May in Japan, so far Electric Callboy and Polyphia have been announced with more bands to come. It would be cool if Nemophila were one of them
I would love for Nemophila to be a "Female Kami Band" during a BABYMETAL song! Maybe they could perform "Distortion" and Mayu could do the screams/growls!
@@emb5091 having Nemophila play would be awesome ,I've always thought they should have an all female touring band too (Megitsune Band?)
I’ve often said nobody puts (Baby)metal in a corner
haha we’re old
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥 Gr8 reaction guys! Thank you.
If you asked me my favorite babymetal song, it might just depend on what I ate for breakfast that day. What I mean is, it's always changing. On that note. How many groups have so many songs, and everyone can be your favorite?? I hate to say they can't miss. but????
There are some subtle nuances in the original that don't come across as much live.
Great song either way.
🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Sore ! Sore ! Sore ! SoreSoreSoreSore!! !!!
Really need to do the official music video too.
also watching the original music video is very good idea. Please do so!
Went to Legend MM, this was prob my fav song they played!
My favorite live of Megitsune is at SSA, New Year Fox Festival 2015, freaking epic. Btw that is the same show as the iconic Road of Resistance live in Japan.
You need to hear a version when they were younger, say from the tokyo dome performance.
Official Music video for this song is a piece of art. Must see.
Live is always the best bet when it comes to Babymetal but when it comes to this song, regardless of having seen it live first, the official music video is 100% worth watching! Heck there are even better live performances of this song!
Yesss my favorite song!! 🤘
My dad told me something years ago and I’ve been able to apply it in a lot of different situations in life:
“Some people demand respect, and some people command respect…always strive for the latter.”
I’ve watched a lot of Babymetal reactions of this song, but this is the first time I’ve viewed this particular video.
Watching Su-Metal on stage and seeing how she handles the crowds so effortlessly has always been impressive, but her performance here is simply amazing.
This is the first time I can honestly say that what my dad told me about demanding vs commanding respect can apply to Su-Metal’s presence on stage.
I’d be willing to bet a jar of dirt that her confidence on stage helps relax the rest of the band as well as the entire crew.
This is such an epic performance by amazing performers!!! Thanks for lending your expertise to this song. Really like your reviews; you bring a lot to the table. Su is one of the most talented performers out there. She is so comfortable and confident. Born to do this!!!!
Great reaction - and yes do watch the official video - then watch the commentary video the girls made talking through the official video. This is the song that probably represents everything BABYMETAL are better than any other.
This was a great live version of course, but the official video is also one of their best. Actually virtually every different performance is great (my own favourite is from the Red Fox Festival in 2017 where they had an all female audience - all singing along ... very apt since this is a female empowerment song).
This song often tops fan polls for their favourite song - it is also the song they have played live more than any other. It is not an easy song to sing either - Su uses it for sound checks and to test her voice.
👍👍👍Awesomely awesome performance. I can't post link for MV, but it is on their channel:
BABYMETAL - メギツネ - MEGITSUNE (OFFICIAL) 🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤
And the next night Momoko had a mic.
The original Music Video gives you a taste of the era it was made in plus a bit more clarity in the studio production than you'll find in a concert performance of this type of track (that is layered with a lot of stuff to begin with)
Drummer is Anthony Barone in this concert, yes he’s next level
Gotta say that, like the Metali song nine years later, Megitsune is full of Japanese cultural expressions (including onomatopoeia, kakegoe &, from what I understand, archaic words). Accordingly, it's mindblowing that BM first got to record it in their mid-teens (2014), how strikingly grown-up the theme was (truly a bold attempt to break away from Sakura Gakuin's idol music), how high-pitched & clear-voiced Su was then & now (despite the frenetic pacing & frequent key changes).
I had begun following BM in the Chinese cyberspace years ago, where lyric fansubs are separate from their English counterparts. Anyway, the following are my re-translations from my own notes. Maybe it can help give another perspective.
(So-re tsu! [x3] So-re so-re so-re so-re tsu!) [so-re = kakegoe exhortation]
A kitsune all dressed up [kitsune = fox]
(Chiki-chiki wasshoi! [x2]) [chiki = onomatopoeia here for 'sneaky'; wasshoi = kakegoe exhortation]
Twin ponytails flapping in the wind
(Hira-hira wasshoi! [x2]) [hira = onomatopoeia for fluttering]
Poof, and i vanish
(Kuru-kuru wasshoi! [x2]) [kuru = onomatopoeia for whirling]
Now watch me morph into my transformations
(Kon-kon kon kokon kon kokon) [kon = onomatopoeia for fox barks]
(So-re tsu! [x3] so-re so-re so-re so-re tsu!) [x2]
A maiden from an ancient age
I dance in passing dreams
Across thousands of years
And living in the moment
Ah ah, yes, women might always be born actors
But we're not bad kitsunes [x2]
We're merely megitsunes [megitsune = girlish vixen]
Ah ah, we girls will blossom into yamato nadeshiko [floral metaphor for 'idealized woman']
Smiling with our faces, crying on the inside
Saying words like "so yo ne" ["i think so too"]
And never showing our tears
[Instrumental break]
Kitsune kitsune, we are megitsunes
Women are born actors [i.e. "very good at disguising ourselves"]
Soi-ya soi-ya soi-ya! [x3] So-re so-re so-re so! [soi-ya = kakegoe exhortation]
Soi-ya soi-ya soi-ya! [x3] So-re so-re so-re so!
So-re tsu! [x3] so-re so-re so-re so-re tsu!
so-re tsu! [x3] so-re so-re so-re so-re tsu!
A maiden from an ancient age
I sing in passing dreams
Across thousands of years
And living here in modern times
Ah ah, yes, women might always be born actors
But we're not bad kitsunes [x2]
We are maidens "not to be underestimated" [spoken]
Ah ah, we girls will blossom into yamato nadeshiko
Never ever gonna disappear
Just like fireworks eternally across the night sky
Ah ah, women who bloom are doomed with unhappy fates
Smiling with our faces, crying on the inside
I'm merely a pure-hearted megitsune
Ah ah~
[FYI The women national soccer team is also nicknamed 'Nadeshiko Japan'.]
My favorite track from them!
Check out the official video for this one.
I agree with the other commenters. Watching official music video is a different experience. They are soooo adorable, and it's a coming of age story from a much younger perspective. That awkward age, when nothing makes sense, but somehow you everything. Btw, a suggestion to react to a live performance would be Black Baby Metal performing Onedari Daisakusen. There are many versions, but your choice lies with an older version with Yui-Metal, or a solo act with Moa-metal. Either way, they are both incredible.
The Babymetal quintessential song!! 🔥The live version is always better, but honestly the music video is one of the few you can't miss 👀
Great reaction! I suggest reacting to amazing Nemophila's cover of the song! And you should check the new and one of the best from Nemophila, "Amateras"!
Some comments
* Generally Babymetal shall be viewed in a live video recorded in a large venue in Japan. The interaction with the Japanese audience is sick!
* The music videos for Megitsune and BxMxC are top notch. They need to be seen, no matter if you first see some live stuff.
* The first music video called Doki Doki Morning is a must see for every Babymetal fan.
* The Babymetal Death from the Legend 1997 concert is also a must see, but you need to understand what it is about.
👍 👍
Great reaction guys. Yes even though you have reacted to many of their great song/performances you have really just scratched the surface as there so many more that you have yet to discover.
Regarding Glastonbury I think many here will agree that it was the worst outside venue to watch them perform because the BBC which was in charge of that festival did an incompetent job with sound production (mics turned off, incorrect sound levels etc.)
Suggest Rising Sun Rock Festival for some great outdoor LIVE performances.
Until next time.
I actually prefer the studio version. But Holy cow, who cares? This is _so_ good in whatever format or performance.
Babymetal just ..
They just..
I mean..
What an astonishing act/band/thing that Babymetal is.
You guys should check out the live Legend of 1997 versión of this song 🔥🦊🤘
I think this song is the most representative of BABYMETAL.
ruclips.net/video/F9Ba2Ux1eMY/видео.htmlsi=yKy_5dN4GTg-SkYV
Here's another BM classic you haven't reacted to, it's the greatest metal song ever written about an hallucinogenic bubble gum 🦊🤘
Their arena shows this year i feel have really stepped up. Su-Metals English ability has also improved significantly. Metisune is not a easy track for Su. Along with Devine Attack which Su-Metal wrote. As they are in her upper tier register.
Some of their most challenging tracks like Rondo of Nightmare. Along with Tales of Destinies, which was a Tribute to Dream Theatre"s Dance of Eternity BTW.
Haven't been performed in years & wish they would add them back in. I get the challenge, but it would really significantly boost their live shows here. While Babymetal is brilliant live usually.
They did struggle a bit last year up until about mid tour. Su-Metal looked overworked and burnt out but she has, since course, corrected.
The shows really since their performances with Bring Me the Horizon last year at Nex_Fest has shown a pretty significant evolution.
Being on tour as long as they have now is really starting to show in their performances, and this one is no exception. Great reactions here & agree about the Nemophila Metisune covers. Nemophila are huge fans, so it makes sense here. :)
nope.. you got to do the mv version for this specific song, its a must imho
Nemophila does a cover of this song that rocks!
I will only add to the other comments that you really should seek out some of the many fancams of this performed in smaller venues. You'll get to see Moa's hengao moments at that one particular spot in the song in which Su picks up the mask and faces her. Moa always does some sort of silly facial expression, or says something to cause the others to crack up.
this is actually the only one i like the music video better! its one of the best
#notacult
Great reaction! Thanks!🤘🦊🤘
Please listen to "Leave it all behind" the most recent collab of Babymetal 😭
I dont think they can top that...... for some reason, i can hear the One laughing all over the world
babymetal's crowds and of course the band itself is just something else... its always such fun to watch them play in japan or somewhere there.. saw them live in 2023 in germany.. great perfomance.. weak crowd sadly.. :( but it made my year to saw them finally live.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Megitsune as Su pronounces it in the song (you are closer than most tho) ... the 'git' sounds like a cowboy saying 'git' to his horse or to a kid like 'git' on outta here Me git su ne (at least to my ears)
Meh-geet-sue-nay
Just take the Yokohama 2024 Session to re-do a lot of good songs
I should give you some context on what happened on the Glastonbury video. I know you guys like interesting live sets, and suggested that because it's a good one. I didn't know that some of the fans have a problem with it though, and I'm sorry it got brigaded. I hope it didn't cause too much grief.
This issue is that Glastonbury always sells out before the line-up is announced, so the fans couldn't get tickets when Babymetal was confirmed. Some of them are frustrated that they couldn't be there and feel that the band didn't get the audience they deserved. Most Babymetal fans aren't the gatekeeping type though, and I hope you continue to explore their performances.
Although the crowd was a bit lame (understandable, they're a pop/main stream music crowd ... but they did enjoy BABYMETAL) the main issue people have with the Glastonbury videos is the BBC's substandard audio (the camerawork left a lot to be desired too) - among other issues the second mic for the bass drums never got plugged in and the girls' mics were often very low or intermittently not working.
To be fair 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' is probably the least effected by the BBC's deficiencies of the Glastonbury videos.
There was nothing wrong with the double kick. The solo section in RoR at 3:45 is probably where it's clearest, but it's all over the set.
Even if there had been a problem, blaming the BBC is simply wrong. They don't go near stage audio. The sound is produced by RG Jones, and they provide audio feeds to the BBC. And a band the size of Babymetal has drum techs to mic the kit. They're not asking contractors to do it.
This is why I pointed out that your script doesn't add up. I get that you're still angry, but it's clearly not for the reasons you say.
@@iaingeo The stage sound was fine, it was the BBC live stream audio that sucked.
Not angry at all ... the fact they enjoyed that one is what really matters, all I've done is explain why people don't usually recommend the Glastonbury videos for a first listen, there are live versions where they would have had a better audio experience.
Well, I've explained how you can hear for yourself that the assertions you read under that reddit post weren't real, and couldn't possibly be real given the way sound works at Glastonbury. But you do you I guess. 🤷
I should let you know, though, that turning up en masse in the comments with your demands is not being helpful, it's bullying. And we know a song about that.
I've already outstayed my welcome in this comment section so I'll leave it there.
@@iaingeo I've made absolutely no demands, I didn't complain in the comments (I enjoyed the reaction despite the choice of video) and I don't know what reddit post you are referring to, all I have done is try to explain to YOU what a lot of people think about the Glastonbury videos and why they are not generally recommended for first reactions.
I wasn't arguing with you, simply trying to explain my understanding of why some people may not have been so happy with the choice.
I guess we're both better off if we leave it there.
Can you do Babymetal - Tales of the Destinies too? its prog metal
Would pig squeals pique your interest? Official MV said that...
😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🦊🦊🦊
Su's voice was a little strained in this version. Probably because they were just finishing up their tour
Meg A Su Ney. Is How You Pronounce It.
The original MV is one of the must watch MVs even tho they are always better live. And yeah, I personally skip Glastonbury videos, sorry. It was a shit show and makes me too mad. XD 🤘🦊🤘
should have watched the MV first on this one. It is best to watch Babymetal songs around the time the album the song was on came out. There is a lot of recent bias. We all love Momoka but Yui did exist. F'ing dirtbags. The Nemophila cover is really good too. Another great Japanese band. Try akatsuki black night, uki uki midnight mv, rondo of nightmares, awadama fever
Momoko
@@johnschultz7765 Sorry, I screwed that up.
I think Vixen is a better translation than Female Fox
The song that more or less derailed Kobas planing. He only wanted to get rid of the devilsymbol, but with this song his Kitsune got in Japan a completly new meaning. A Symbol of female Empowerment. The song changed the meaning of the old tales completly by simply looking at these tales from the perspective of the Megitsune. It didn't want to be part of a play it simply tried to do what was expected from her but it wasn't good enough. That is what his girls wanted to see in this song. And this resonated wth their female fans so strong that the sign got a meaning far outside of the metal scene and at the same time it brought many female fans into their concerts.
My opinion east Kami band better. But none the less I love all baby metal does 👉🦊👈🤘❤️❤️❤️
🍑 ⚡ 💕 / 🦊 ⛩
Your efforts to pronounce Japanese band names and song titles is much appreciated.
In this case it's "meh-gee-tsoo-neh", with those syllable breaks.
The "ts" is pronounced like the end of the word "hats".
Of course they spell it out in katakana in the music video, メギツネ, but that's not necessarily super helpful at this point. : )
And the "PIA" in PIA Arena is pronounced like one word, not initials.
