It was only three years ago when I first saw a reaction video to Hypa Hypa by Eskimo Callboy from this tour manager on his fairly new channel. And now this American accompanies and supports this German band on their journey through the world, while sitting in Japan and telling funny backstories. Life writes stories that you can't make up.
Yup and since then and that reaction I have been a massive fan and seen them 3 times live and it’s the MOST fun live experiences I’ve ever had in my 25 years of going to gigs.
@TankTheTech It really is. For me, last year in March, my whole EC journey started with your channel. Never heard EC, never watched reaction channels, it was the algorithm basically having a stroke. At the end of the year I got a notification from Spotify that I'm in the Top 1% listeners for EC, and I've also gained a new hobby of watching reactions to EC, because you showed me that reactions actually can add value to existing content. Seeing how ALL of this evolved is just lovely. It's just so great to see
I love how the girls are out front doing their fancy, coordinated dance moves and the guys are in the back doing their best "Aerobics instructor" moves. Definitely a fun song and video. Great collab.
You know what really sells this as a true collaboration? Both bands are doing each others vocal parts. You rarely get that when the collab is just a glorified feature, that usually sticks to the “you get a verse and a chorus to yourself if you‘re lucky“ format. But here, they all jump in on each others vocal parts. I love that so much.
I saw a comment on another reaction video that was along the lines of "Kevin and Nico looks like dads trying to keep up with their daughters doing TikTok dances" and that lives rent free in my head now 😂 It's a damn good song, so catchy and fun! Absolutely love it! Welcome to Sweden in a few weeks btw, very sad that I won't be at Sweden Rock to see the guys, being an adult with a regular job sucks sometimes 😅
@@Xerachiel There are SOME genetic factors, but believe it or not, a lot of the studies on the matter cite the cultural importance placed on skin-care, diet, and closer connections to immediate family. Also, westerners tend to view people with less facial hair and certain aesthetic traits as looking more youthful... So although there's some truth to it, the majority of it comes from a cultural weight being placed on taking care of their skin, healthier diet and exercise, and the perception of westerners on what even constitutes a youthful appearance.
I've noticed a lot of BabyMetal fans have said how great its been to see them have fun and enjoy themselves as they're usually very serious. To me that's very much the Electric Callboy effect. I agree with you Tank that Electric Callboy are so refreshing in their attitude towards music, they know when to have fun but also make really great music. I've enjoyed watching all your behind the scenes videos with the band. Thanks for giving us such an interesting insight into Touring life. And for showing us how amazingly friendly, down to earth, and fun the guys from EC are.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share a little bit of your thoughts. It's so cool to see this blowing up for EC and BABY METAL. This is the perfect summer jam.
A couple weeks ago, the thought of a Babymetal + EC collab would have never crossed my mind. Once I saw the announcement though, I knew instantly it would be a hell of a lot of fun. I haven't listened to Babymetal in a very long time, but this collab reminded me how much they still kick ass.
When Babymetal was spotted watching from the side stage at one of Electric Callboy shows late last year is when Babymetal fans suspected something might be going on.
It was the same for me. I did hear "Gimme chocolate" like 10 years ago, and while I thought this was a bit odd, I also thought the metal part was really good even back then. I kind of lost track for years now, but looked back into some things they did, they do pretty good music in my opinion. Papaya also was an insanely good collab from them.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed the live debut and the second performance of RATATATA by BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy together in the two-day Fox_Fest on May 25 / 26 (Japan time) . Fun, happy, exhilarating, bubbly... Those words I could think of, as you can imagine. The song was played in the BABYMETAL's setlist in the festival. So, as you pointed out, the band in the back of the girls and Nico / Kevin was BM's West Kami Band (bassist = Ryan Neff) in place of EC band that played in this MV. That was great, too. Yes, on their 50:50 collaboration basis, the interchangeability between the two versatile bands is good. EC boys can join BM concerts and BM girls can show up in EC's worldwide 😍
I wonder if the song will show up in EC's setlist at Rock am Ring since that's more or less EC "home turf" just like Fox Fest is obviously Babymetal's home turf.
@@flugelhornoldman1362 Can't say yet. There's a timetable, so we see that the band's shows are after one another on different stages. In the last years, there have been quite a few streams from Rock am Ring, mostly from the main stage - and that's where EC will be performing (Utopia Stage, 08. 06. 2024, 18:40-19:55 MET). Babymetal starts an hour later (21:10, Mandora Stage). So I'd say there's a good chance at least one band will have the option to have their set streamed; wether they want that is another question.
I first saw Electric Callboy in Bochum on 14th July 2013. Being brutally honest wasn't a good 1st impression. However they are such a different band now after figuring out what works. Each ne release makes me smile and live they are amazing
Having a Tour Manager thats so geniunly in love with the band and the music and wishes only the best for them makes for a Perfekt Tour and amazing shows. Thank you :)
I was thinking that a photo, taken at the right time from the right (or wrong depending on your point of view) angle could be great blackmail material 🤣
One thing I realized from bands like EC and BM is that these fun and "goofy" works of art are just as important and artistic as the more serious/emotional pieces (which we tend to hold in higher regars most of the time)
I'm so hyped for Rock am Ring in two weeks. Both EC and BM will be playing on Saturday and I absolutely hope to see them pop up on each other's stages so I get to see them play this banger together twice.
Was introduced to this song 2 weeks back on RUclips in some weird "Non-Metal fans react to metal songs" video... and as of today, have heard it over 100 times. This song has even taken over the top spot from Jinjer in my gym playlist. What a beautiful song. I know it's a weird description, but this song is...beautiful.
i knew from the second i heard theyre doing this it was gonna be a banger, but i was unprepared for how beautifully nicos and su-metals vocals would mix together...im a slut for a good vocal harmony and layered vocals and hearing their voices PERFECTLY blend together while also being recognizable as their own is CRAZY to me. ive been a casual fan of babymetal since they first went viral in the mid 2010s and now seeing my fave band collab with them...as a fellow german....this is simply amazing.
Holy shit that's awesome you're their tour manager!!!! I'm one of the local stage hands for Musilac in the french alps where Electric Callboy is scheduled to play in July and I gotta tell you we are ALL super excited for you guys to come!!! Look out for the dude with the giant braided red beard ;) See you soon brother!
"it's kinda the fun we needed in metal" is so real. I was at Graspop and Electric Callboy, Babymetal, and Steel Panther had the most hype crowds there. It was a party; everyone was having a blast and vibing
Thank you for doing this for us. Having Full confirmation that MomoMetal does some of the harsh vocals is nice. Lots of commenters talking about that. The disco ball scene reminded me of the movie Abyss when the alien water creature was interacting with one of the characters.
@@RudeAlert Listen, when I made my comment, there were only approx. 90 comments. It was there. I promise. It's definitely buried now 400+ comments later. I'm not saying it just be a smartass or keyboard commando. He did respond to someone asking it.
This was really interesting. I’m a HUGE Babymetal fan and have gotten into EC recently. I think it’s obvious a global tour with these two bands would be very, very popular. I’m not going to say how many times I’ve watched this video, shared it, and how many reaction videos I’ve seen but it is considerable. Pure genius and hard work on display here by everyone involved.
@@reconbbs360what do you mean shenanigans? Lol. Its def her. You must not listen to much metal with harsh vocals to doubt that's a real feminine voice
Tank! Was great meeting you at the show in Boston 😊 I was the one that gave you the tiny hand lol. Glad you reacted/reviewed this one. Can't wait for the next show!
Interesting stuff, thank you! I‘m a big BABYMETAL fan, but I didn‘t know anything about Electric Callboy. But I must say, this is the most fun thing I have seen in a while. I hope it will lead to new fans for both bands, they deserved it.
This was my first introduction to both bands - thanks to a reaction video by The Charismatic Voice popping up in my feed and now I’m obsessed with EC and definitely need to see them live ☺️ It’s introduced me to your channel too as your vids came up as suggested because I’m watching EC videos every day now 😆 This is another reason why I love informed reaction videos as it introduces me to lots of amazing artists, cheers! 😁
I was there FOXFEST bough of days. This song was absolutely banger!!!! I talked with lots of Japanese friends (by the way I’m Japanese living Australia) at the fest and saw X comments and they loving it!! Japanese people love to dance together and sing the same chants, and yes, the karaoke market in Japan is huge, and they love to "get excited together," so this song is perfect for Japanese people. I think it's a well-thought-out song. By the way I saw you had been in preparation for EC at the fest! I’m so excited to see you Tank!😆
Even as a big fan of EC, I first saw this collab and thought "eh, I don't know much about Babymetal, but I'll check it out"....and now I've replayed the music video 50 times. It is super catchy (but then almost ANY EC song is lol). So cool you joined up with EC as well!!
I can't say just how excited I was when I saw this collab announced. I love both bands, and they do put the fun back in metal. The song definitely didn't disappoint, and I really hope to see them both performing it together live one day
Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this while on a busy tour schedule. We appreciate it. Here on YT the video was #1 Music trends for at least two days. And yes, a very balanced collaboration, which is great as I love both bands. And I agree that the songwriting is a really fine piece of work "They filmed that in Germany." You're not telling me that Babymetal came to the EC compound in Castrop-Rauxel, five miles from my doorstep, without me having the slightest idea, are you? Jeez. One question that has interested the Babymetal fans since the song came out: Which of the growls are actually Momo's? We know she can do it. Most of us assume that the second "Are you ready?" and the "Everybody"s are hers, while the first "are you ready" is Kevin. The "out of control" is hard to place, might be both of them. I'd love if you could enlighten us on this question. Greetings from Castrop-Rauxel!
People have no idea how much Babymetal travel, for example Su-metal came to Sydney in Australia to record her singing for 1 or 2 songs, especially Karate, for the second album. That was years before Babymetal performed in Australia.
@@autohmae Thank you for that info. Karate will always have a special place in my heart, as the original MV or rather a vocal analysis thereof was the first thing from BM I ever saw or heard, back in 2022. I fell into the Foxhole hard and fast and have been a happy Kitsune ever since.
Fun fact you guys probably dont know : The dancer from BABYMETAL on the left who's called Momometal do the screams after the Are you ready from Nico and then again after this part. If you guys want to hear it live session just search fore the most recent headbanger you will love it
My favorite thing about the song is how much everyone loves it. I saw comments on Facebook from the usual suspects just trashing BABYMETAL without even considering listening to them. Then you get on RUclips and you see that literally everyone loves it. I hope those salty individuals can find a way out of their miserable lives and learn to have fun.
While I understand your thoughts, I don`t really care about people like that. I don`t think it is a great mindset, don`t get me wrong but: Either you open up to it, listen to it or not. And then you either like what they do, or you don`t. I just like to have fun, and honestly, EC is fun but BM is something I lost track of and am now reminded that they do good music that is also really fun in their own way. If other people can`t or won`t enjoy it, not my business, I don`t really have time to think about people who are narrowminded.
I get you man. I saw the video and was like: dang this is fun! I'm normally not into Kawaii or catchy stuff at all. But seeing these bands have so much fun and still sound amazing....can't argue with that. But then when I dropped the vid to my friends I basically got some cold shoulders. I'm glad that seeing from a lot of youtube video's that it's not me that's an idiot, but most of my friends just forgot how to have fun. Well, good thing I stopped caring about other's opinions about what I like and don't like. At least not alone in this one.
@@dutchraider2 Dropping a random song to friends is one of the worst things you can do. Even if you love the same genre, music is all about the mood you're currently in. If I'm tired and someone links me this song, I won't listen to it. If I'm in a good mood, I will listen to it. And that's just two moods out of like a billion. Randomly dropping a song to a friend will usually backfire. Just play it when you're grilling irl and there's some music on the background or listening to same playlist online or whatever. It's a smooth way to slip it in without drawing attention to it.
@@TheMaaxZ I understand where you're coming from. But I dropped it in the chat we use for going to a metal festival next month. So I dunno... there is only so much you can hold into account when communicating with someone. Anyway, I still think it's weird that 100% of the reactors, even usually very opinionated reactors, all like this song and can see the enjoyment in it. But my friends can't. I guess them being new parents plays a role in this. I see a lot of my friends getting children and it just does not seem to bring them more benefits then depression if you ask me. But that's my opinion.
thanks for still taking the time to do this Tank! It's so nice to see how close you work with them by now after following you through basically your whole journey through their catalogue here on youtube. So hyped for the Behind the Scenes stuff
while you're speaking about the oooh oooh (japanese karaoke culture), this gimmick reminded me the song Marcia Baïla from the french band RITA MISTOUKO written in the 80's. You can hear it around 3:30 in the song. This song is now a classic and the video is quite aesthetic.
9:24 the movie you are referring to is the sci-fi thriller "Sphere" from 1998 with Dustin Hoffman and Samuel L. Jackson. I was thinking the same thing in this scene. :)
Regarding that large disco ball (9:18), this also reminds me of something and I think that's the movie Sphere (1998). It features a golden liquid metal sphere and the protagonists stand around it pretty much like they do in the music video
It's a VERY well written song! Having enjoyed many a stage right scene from your vlogs, the pyro cluster after the breakdown didn't go unnoticed, in fact the lighting as a whole in the production is phenomenal. Even given that it's Electric Callboy and Babymetal it's amazing how many plays it's gathered in such a short time, and yet it's a thoroughly deserved success. They've managed to strike the perfect balance of ingredients. Well done to all! It's great to hear that it's such a good outfit working behind the scenes on the tour over there, and yep I'm hyped for a behind the scenes so if that's on the way that'll be cool. I might even hope for something more between these bands.. whilst it can be seen as a novelty track, going back to what we're feeling about it being a really good song you can't really escape the fact that they gel brilliantly. Cheers for the insight and overview man!
its so cool teh fact that you became their tour manager xD some people copystrike people for reactions and other praise it and i can tell you, the bands with the most reactions are the bands i listen to the most because i dont find the music myself, i see people react to it and thats the way i find good music nowadays xD
I've heard it's the hook that brings you back. And I'm fairly certain the movie you're looking for when they're at the giant disco ball is "Sphere". Watched the "Electric Callboy reacts to reactions of Ratatata" and hearing that it turned into a total collaboration. The harmonies that come with both bands singing together is fantastic, and it just meshes so damn well.
This song slaps! Everywhere on RUclips people are saying “I needed this “ or “the collab we didn’t know we needed “ Definitely the funnest song of the year!
Fox fest was amazing. Both days ec set was just a giant dance party even if you didn't want to. The pits and dancing during ratatata were insane. thank you for your hard work.
To your point, I specifically credit BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy as the bands that put the fun back in metal. Amaranthe as well, to some extent, but they never got quite as popular.
And Babymetal noticed, Amaranthe was opening band in the UK in 2019, 1 show though. The other opening bands: Sleep Token. Which had a funny effect, those in the audience that liked 1 opening band didn't like the other much and vice verse.
Thank you for sharing us your expirience. Have a great time. Maybe see you at the Rock am Ring Festival in Germany, where Babymetal and Electric Callboy coincidentally have their shows on the same day😀
"I love when bands can be fun and not take themselves too seriously while also taking the music seriously." 💯 You nalied it Tank! Thanks for posting this! Very happy for both bands and wish them continued success!
Its dope in the comments seeing how many people are discovering the other band. I've been listening to baby metal for days, and have seen a lot of comments from Babymetal peeps saying the same about Electric Callboy
I fucking love the fact that you always give BabyMetal the respect they deserve :) Since you started with BabyMetal It's always been with fairness respect which for a LONG time, was unfortunately rare for metalheads. It's been a long 'road of resistance' for BM (Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk... ahem.... Ok I'll let myself out now...) in gaining acceptance from the metal community. So many elitists and anti-fans make reactions and reviews from channels like yours really precious to the fan base, so thank you :) PS: Oh! and two more things, so many people don't realize that Momo-Metal did a few growls in this collab. I'm super proud of that girl for stepping up to add the one thing BabyMetal was missing! Also, It was super cool to get a behind the scenes perspective from you :) So double thank you for that XD
This was a reaction I wasn't expecting, just because you are so close to the band. But it happened, and I loved your little insights you gave us on this. I say "little", because there would be so much more of inside information that we are all interested in. For example, even if this is a 50/50 collaboration, who came up with the initial idea? Why it is released on the BM and not on the EC channel...? Questions over questions. But I understand that this is confidential and only to be revealed by the bands itself. I guess you just won't add "Whistleblower" to your resumé... 😉😁😉 Anyway, as a German, I am kinda proud of EC and especially how this "niche" collab is currently blowing up. What a effing great job by all the involved parties, and I mean everybody, from the bands to all the production and touring crews... Maybe you can forward a huge THANK YOU to EC, just because they bring so much fun in such unfunny times...
9:40 When Moa & Momo just pop up behind Su is my absolute favorite moment in the video, because its just so silly, & it's great to see the girls get to ham it up & have fun in this video because, as much as I absolutely love The Other One to death, its not a "fun" BabyMetal album, & its so clear the girls are having a blast making this video. I also love the shot where they poke their heads around corner after Nico & Kevin blast thru the wall. Just absolutely love this song & video!
This is a collab I wasn't expecting, but I sure was *hoping* for. This is a bop. Last year Babymetal album is unironically one of my 2023 metal album. The "idol group" singing style is truly left behind, and it does not feel gimmick-y as the previous album were (not that gimmick are bad, metal IS gimmicky as hell, it was fun! ). Suzuka singing have reached really great level, and the songs are both very catchy and heavy. We even have breakdown-y bits and a lot of double kick pedal.
Love this reaction! This song is my first introduction to both these bands and i am so addicted to this song. Definitely checking out more to both of them!
Kudos to whoever glued all the mirror tiles on that giant disco ball, helmets etc. 😃I know the procedure from making solar cookers, those must be tens of thousands mirror tiles just for that video shot
Thank you for your insights and (because I think that isn't said nearly enough) thank you and people like you for helping our favorite artists with bringing us joy through their performances!
oh also.. iam so happy for you that you can keep working togheter with Electric Callboy :D You are such a good fit in the whole crazyness that is this band and crew behind the scenes.
Someone commented on another reaction that this video is just like Dads being asked to dance in the background of their Daughter's TikTok videos and now I can't unsee it!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad you could confirm a 50/50 collab, because it definitely sounded like it. It sounds like both a Babymetal song and an Electric Callboy song at the same time, it's glorious. (Unrelated, got a chance to see EC in Silver Spring earlier this month. Such a fun, excellent show at a great venue. Even security seemed cool. Coincidentally, the last time I was at that venue was for a Babymetal show).
" .. the big disco ball reminds you of something ..." When I saw that thing my thoughts went to Event Horizon, the 1997 Horror Sci-Fi film with Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill. Thanks for the reaction Tank, it's always nice to hear you talk about behind the scene things and all that. I haven't fully taken it onboard yet, but I am warming up to the song and video every time I hear and watch it. Cheers / Mr_B_Dublin
When the disco ball gets a "face" due the lightning, thats reminds me of something. And the way how Nico act to them. First I thought something from Hitchhikers guide. But I did not find a picture what that confirmed. But I am sure I have this seen before.
You must be proud that how big this song is right now. It is now #1 on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales List. And it now very big all over youtube now.
Tank, the amount of undeserved pride I feel from hearing you're managing the EC tour is unbelievable. It's amazing, and I'm incredibly happy and so goddamn jealous of you that you get to go out there every night and make an insane experience for all the people coming to see the band and then you get to spend downtime with them and see them as people, not as we always see them as performers. Doing what you do, what you've practiced and trained for years, coming up from roadie to manager, that sense of accomplishment and fulfillment must be so satisfying and you get experience that because of hard work and long hours. Congratulations my friend. We're all here cheering you on.
Beside the facts, that this song is a banger and this is the collab we never thought we needed it the most it's a masterpiece considering marketing. BabyMetal is introducing EC to Japan and to their fans and EC is doing it the opposite way. I watched several reactions (because the reaction YT scene is exploding right now) and many BM fans never heard about EC and now reacting to them, and also the other way around, EC fans now reacting to BM songs. Genius move from both bands, and like i said the song is an absolut banger, lifting up the spirit and put a smile on your face. Glorious! @Tank, you worked with EC several times in the past and (i hope) in the future, are you consodering moving to Germany?
Iirc he said in a video that they did think about that. But he's got both a wife and kids, not to mention other friends & family in the US. So while they do have the option, there's definititely big costs involved with moving internationally (and I'm not talking about money).
Über drivers, gardeners, gym enthusiasts, sauernauts, holiday resort sex gurus, train drivers, mansion owners and now disco balls, cannot wait what our dynamic duo is going to be next. Apart fun things. There will be fun metal things.
I love David's drumming in this song. Also, Tank thank you for taking time out of what has to be a crazy schedule for you to do this for us. Love your channel.
BABYMETAL has been doing happy metal going on 14 years now, since 2010, and I'm glad people are starting to enjoy or at least appreciate that kind of metal music! And Electric Callboy are great at it too! Happy metal is NOT easy to pull off.🤘🦊🤘

Seeing how ALL of this evolved is just lovely. It's just so great to see
I love how the girls are out front doing their fancy, coordinated dance moves and the guys are in the back doing their best "Aerobics instructor" moves. Definitely a fun song and video. Great collab.
The thing is the boy could actually do the moves, we seen them do coordinated dance moves in hypa hypa or others. So basically its on purpose 😅
@@bastik.3011 Yeah, when they did this live with Babymetal recently, they were definitely jumping in with them on the choreographed danced moves.
@@TankTheTech you can even see it in the music video briefly 😅
Best comment I saw was someone saying it looks like dad's doing a tik tok dance with their kids and don't know the moves
You know what really sells this as a true collaboration? Both bands are doing each others vocal parts. You rarely get that when the collab is just a glorified feature, that usually sticks to the “you get a verse and a chorus to yourself if you‘re lucky“ format. But here, they all jump in on each others vocal parts. I love that so much.
Thats how most collabs of the HU sound to me, except the one with Lizzy Hale.
I saw a comment on another reaction video that was along the lines of "Kevin and Nico looks like dads trying to keep up with their daughters doing TikTok dances" and that lives rent free in my head now 😂 It's a damn good song, so catchy and fun! Absolutely love it! Welcome to Sweden in a few weeks btw, very sad that I won't be at Sweden Rock to see the guys, being an adult with a regular job sucks sometimes 😅
But them you realize there's like only a 7 years difference between Susuka and Nico and it gets wild lmao.

I love hearing Momo’s metal screams in a proper song after hearing her doing it live for Headbanger. Freaking awesome
This song really is 4 choruses and a breakdown stapled together. And its beautiful.
I think you just described the entire music industry.
@@bjammin187 the entire music industry uses breakdowns?
@@Geraetin a technical sense, breakdowns are super common structure.
The song is sooooooooooooooo catchy.
First Time listening: "It`s a nice Song, i guess."
Second listening: EVERYBODY: RATATATA, BOOM, BOOM!
you should read the lyrics so you understand those aren't booms, and what EC convinced Babymetal to sing about... lol
A couple weeks ago, the thought of a Babymetal + EC collab would have never crossed my mind. Once I saw the announcement though, I knew instantly it would be a hell of a lot of fun.
I haven't listened to Babymetal in a very long time, but this collab reminded me how much they still kick ass.
Ever heard the song Kingslayer?
It's how I discovered them
When Babymetal was spotted watching from the side stage at one of Electric Callboy shows late last year is when Babymetal fans suspected something might be going on.
I never thought about it, but when I saw it announced, it made so much sense that I couldn't believe I never thought how good this collab would be.
It was the same for me. I did hear "Gimme chocolate" like 10 years ago, and while I thought this was a bit odd, I also thought the metal part was really good even back then.
I kind of lost track for years now, but looked back into some things they did, they do pretty good music in my opinion.
Papaya also was an insanely good collab from them.
the 2nd "are you ready" growl of Momo gives me chills
Momo really likes to scream "are you ready" so she couldn't miss that opportunity 😂
Wait wait wait, what? That was Momo? Holy shit! I mean, I knew she can growl, but I definitely didn't know she growled that part. Astonishing!
@@McKollushe did the “are you ready” one, the “let’s go” with Kevin and the “everybody” ones as well.
I think it sounds even better in the live version
Is it even a reaction to this song if this isn’t pointed out?
Thank you so much Tank that you still take the time to make a react to this banger of a song!
👏👏👏
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed the live debut and the second performance of RATATATA by BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy together in the two-day Fox_Fest on May 25 / 26 (Japan time) . Fun, happy, exhilarating, bubbly... Those words I could think of, as you can imagine. The song was played in the BABYMETAL's setlist in the festival. So, as you pointed out, the band in the back of the girls and Nico / Kevin was BM's West Kami Band (bassist = Ryan Neff) in place of EC band that played in this MV. That was great, too. Yes, on their 50:50 collaboration basis, the interchangeability between the two versatile bands is good. EC boys can join BM concerts and BM girls can show up in EC's worldwide 😍
I wonder if the song will show up in EC's setlist at Rock am Ring since that's more or less EC "home turf" just like Fox Fest is obviously Babymetal's home turf.
@@HH-hd7nd Is it true that the EC performance at Rock AM Ring will be streamed?
@@flugelhornoldman1362 Can't say yet. There's a timetable, so we see that the band's shows are after one another on different stages. In the last years, there have been quite a few streams from Rock am Ring, mostly from the main stage - and that's where EC will be performing (Utopia Stage, 08. 06. 2024, 18:40-19:55 MET). Babymetal starts an hour later (21:10, Mandora Stage). So I'd say there's a good chance at least one band will have the option to have their set streamed; wether they want that is another question.
@@Garagantua Thanks for the info. Looking forward to the RATATA streaming.😄
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I don't know.
Hell yea, loved your reaction to this! I still need to see Electric Callboy live I absolutely love them.
seeing them live , it worth your time and money !
I first saw Electric Callboy in Bochum on 14th July 2013. Being brutally honest wasn't a good 1st impression. However they are such a different band now after figuring out what works. Each ne release makes me smile and live they are amazing
Having a Tour Manager thats so geniunly in love with the band and the music and wishes only the best for them makes for a Perfekt Tour and amazing shows. Thank you :)
"Unzip & put my hand up their butts"
I'm totally not gonna take that out of context, nope, absolutely not xD
Grope and tell ....
I was thinking that a photo, taken at the right time from the right (or wrong depending on your point of view) angle could be great blackmail material 🤣
Never mind the context, I have to get that image out of my head ;-).
🎶Every time we touch, I get this feeling🎶
@@jameschamblin7120 😭🤣😂😅😆😁🤓
I love how well Nico's and SU-Metal's voice blend together so well.
9:17 The movie is Sphere. A very underrated sci-fi movie.
That one. Also, it reminds me of the Astartes fan-film, for the WH40K fans out there.
It's been so long since I've seen "Sphere", but have read the book multiple times. Michael Crichton is one of my favorite authors.
It reminded me of Event Horizon as well
I got a Prometheus vibe from the disco ball scene as it reminded of when they went into the sealed chamber that had a giant head sculpture in there.
minority report is the vibe I got
One thing I realized from bands like EC and BM is that these fun and "goofy" works of art are just as important and artistic as the more serious/emotional pieces (which we tend to hold in higher regars most of the time)
I'm so hyped for Rock am Ring in two weeks. Both EC and BM will be playing on Saturday and I absolutely hope to see them pop up on each other's stages so I get to see them play this banger together twice.
You will know on Friday because they will be at Rock im Park first. 😉
I doubt they'll do it twice on one day.
@@MrFloppyHarewell they indeed did.
A bit weird, but fun, and on brand with how Tank called it a 50/50 collaboration
@@Silber7 I'm happy to have been proven wrong in this case. ;-)
I Was there too ( RIP,not RAR) to see them for the 3rd time :-)
Was introduced to this song 2 weeks back on RUclips in some weird "Non-Metal fans react to metal songs" video... and as of today, have heard it over 100 times. This song has even taken over the top spot from Jinjer in my gym playlist. What a beautiful song. I know it's a weird description, but this song is...beautiful.
i knew from the second i heard theyre doing this it was gonna be a banger, but i was unprepared for how beautifully nicos and su-metals vocals would mix together...im a slut for a good vocal harmony and layered vocals and hearing their voices PERFECTLY blend together while also being recognizable as their own is CRAZY to me. ive been a casual fan of babymetal since they first went viral in the mid 2010s and now seeing my fave band collab with them...as a fellow german....this is simply amazing.
Holy shit that's awesome you're their tour manager!!!! I'm one of the local stage hands for Musilac in the french alps where Electric Callboy is scheduled to play in July and I gotta tell you we are ALL super excited for you guys to come!!! Look out for the dude with the giant braided red beard ;)
See you soon brother!
He has some great vlogs about doing his work on his channel as well.
I'd love to k ow the creative decision behind Nico and Kevin just like tickling those poor board members 😂
"it's kinda the fun we needed in metal" is so real. I was at Graspop and Electric Callboy, Babymetal, and Steel Panther had the most hype crowds there. It was a party; everyone was having a blast and vibing
Thank you for doing this for us. Having Full confirmation that MomoMetal does some of the harsh vocals is nice. Lots of commenters talking about that. The disco ball scene reminded me of the movie Abyss when the alien water creature was interacting with one of the characters.
He confirmed it? I must have missed that.
Where did Tank confirm it?
@@IvoB1987 In the comments.
@@SamuelR007 Many people in the comments talk about it, but Tank hasn't said anything about it, nor has he responded to any of those comments.
@@RudeAlert Listen, when I made my comment, there were only approx. 90 comments. It was there. I promise. It's definitely buried now 400+ comments later. I'm not saying it just be a smartass or keyboard commando. He did respond to someone asking it.
This was really interesting. I’m a HUGE Babymetal fan and have gotten into EC recently. I think it’s obvious a global tour with these two bands would be very, very popular. I’m not going to say how many times I’ve watched this video, shared it, and how many reaction videos I’ve seen but it is considerable. Pure genius and hard work on display here by everyone involved.
Absolutely love the fact that Momoko has to ability to do harsh vocals.
I just pray to God it's actually her and not just BabyMetal shenanigans.
@@reconbbs360 he confirmed it on one of the comments
@@reconbbs360what do you mean shenanigans? Lol. Its def her. You must not listen to much metal with harsh vocals to doubt that's a real feminine voice
@@nyhtlyht I don't listen to a ton of music with harsh vocals. Glad to hear it's actually her.
She also has some of the best expressions in the video Su and Moa are good with their facial expressions, but Momo dials it up to 11.
I'm obsessed with the guitar tone and drum sound on this song.
I think with all of the madness that the music has been overlooked. Brilliant song
Tank! Was great meeting you at the show in Boston 😊 I was the one that gave you the tiny hand lol. Glad you reacted/reviewed this one. Can't wait for the next show!
I still have the tiny hand, too! Haha
To get a "Kinder Schokolade" Commercial before the Video Starts seems kinda fitting 😂
Gimme Chocolate
I literlly got an Ad for The Song while watching this 😂😂
@@thetubbee435 🤣🤣🤣
@@thetubbee435 me too
LOL
This song has been a much-needed double-barreled shotgun blast of pure dopamine. Thanks for sharing your experience with the production!
A Babymetal EC Tour would be INSANE! I´d probably try to watch every gig!
Interesting stuff, thank you! I‘m a big BABYMETAL fan, but I didn‘t know anything about Electric Callboy. But I must say, this is the most fun thing I have seen in a while. I hope it will lead to new fans for both bands, they deserved it.
This was my first introduction to both bands - thanks to a reaction video by The Charismatic Voice popping up in my feed and now I’m obsessed with EC and definitely need to see them live ☺️ It’s introduced me to your channel too as your vids came up as suggested because I’m watching EC videos every day now 😆
This is another reason why I love informed reaction videos as it introduces me to lots of amazing artists, cheers! 😁
Thanks for doing this. Glad you had a good time. The Babymetal crew has a reputation for being professional, organized, and very nice.
The clarity of David's drum kit and the rhythm he plays gets me fired up..🤘
Let's Go! 🔥
I was there FOXFEST bough of days. This song was absolutely banger!!!!
I talked with lots of Japanese friends (by the way I’m Japanese living Australia) at the fest and saw X comments and they loving it!! Japanese people love to dance together and sing the same chants, and yes, the karaoke market in Japan is huge, and they love to "get excited together," so this song is perfect for Japanese people. I think it's a well-thought-out song.
By the way I saw you had been in preparation for EC at the fest! I’m so excited to see you Tank!😆
5 days and it's at 3.4 million, so happy for them
Even as a big fan of EC, I first saw this collab and thought "eh, I don't know much about Babymetal, but I'll check it out"....and now I've replayed the music video 50 times. It is super catchy (but then almost ANY EC song is lol). So cool you joined up with EC as well!!
I can't say just how excited I was when I saw this collab announced. I love both bands, and they do put the fun back in metal. The song definitely didn't disappoint, and I really hope to see them both performing it together live one day
Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this while on a busy tour schedule. We appreciate it.
Here on YT the video was #1 Music trends for at least two days. And yes, a very balanced collaboration, which is great as I love both bands. And I agree that the songwriting is a really fine piece of work
"They filmed that in Germany." You're not telling me that Babymetal came to the EC compound in Castrop-Rauxel, five miles from my doorstep, without me having the slightest idea, are you? Jeez.
One question that has interested the Babymetal fans since the song came out: Which of the growls are actually Momo's? We know she can do it. Most of us assume that the second "Are you ready?" and the "Everybody"s are hers, while the first "are you ready" is Kevin. The "out of control" is hard to place, might be both of them. I'd love if you could enlighten us on this question.
Greetings from Castrop-Rauxel!
People have no idea how much Babymetal travel, for example Su-metal came to Sydney in Australia to record her singing for 1 or 2 songs, especially Karate, for the second album. That was years before Babymetal performed in Australia.
@@autohmae Thank you for that info. Karate will always have a special place in my heart, as the original MV or rather a vocal analysis thereof was the first thing from BM I ever saw or heard, back in 2022. I fell into the Foxhole hard and fast and have been a happy Kitsune ever since.
Fun fact you guys probably dont know : The dancer from BABYMETAL on the left who's called Momometal do the screams after the Are you ready from Nico and then again after this part. If you guys want to hear it live session just search fore the most recent headbanger you will love it
My favorite thing about the song is how much everyone loves it. I saw comments on Facebook from the usual suspects just trashing BABYMETAL without even considering listening to them. Then you get on RUclips and you see that literally everyone loves it. I hope those salty individuals can find a way out of their miserable lives and learn to have fun.
While I understand your thoughts, I don`t really care about people like that. I don`t think it is a great mindset, don`t get me wrong but:
Either you open up to it, listen to it or not.
And then you either like what they do, or you don`t.
I just like to have fun, and honestly, EC is fun but BM is something I lost track of and am now reminded that they do good music that is also really fun in their own way. If other people can`t or won`t enjoy it, not my business, I don`t really have time to think about people who are narrowminded.
salt = success, there's no point worrying about people like that
I get you man. I saw the video and was like: dang this is fun! I'm normally not into Kawaii or catchy stuff at all. But seeing these bands have so much fun and still sound amazing....can't argue with that.
But then when I dropped the vid to my friends I basically got some cold shoulders.
I'm glad that seeing from a lot of youtube video's that it's not me that's an idiot, but most of my friends just forgot how to have fun. Well, good thing I stopped caring about other's opinions about what I like and don't like. At least not alone in this one.
@@dutchraider2 Dropping a random song to friends is one of the worst things you can do. Even if you love the same genre, music is all about the mood you're currently in.
If I'm tired and someone links me this song, I won't listen to it. If I'm in a good mood, I will listen to it. And that's just two moods out of like a billion.
Randomly dropping a song to a friend will usually backfire. Just play it when you're grilling irl and there's some music on the background or listening to same playlist online or whatever. It's a smooth way to slip it in without drawing attention to it.
@@TheMaaxZ I understand where you're coming from. But I dropped it in the chat we use for going to a metal festival next month. So I dunno... there is only so much you can hold into account when communicating with someone.
Anyway, I still think it's weird that 100% of the reactors, even usually very opinionated reactors, all like this song and can see the enjoyment in it.
But my friends can't.
I guess them being new parents plays a role in this. I see a lot of my friends getting children and it just does not seem to bring them more benefits then depression if you ask me. But that's my opinion.
3rd collaboration I’ve seen with Babymetal this year.
A hat trick of absolute straight fire.
BabyMetal is showing that the sky is the limit for them. They work so hard and truly deserve everything that comes their way.
Thank you for taking the time to film a reaction. Loved hearing your thoughts.
thanks for still taking the time to do this Tank! It's so nice to see how close you work with them by now after following you through basically your whole journey through their catalogue here on youtube.
So hyped for the Behind the Scenes stuff
while you're speaking about the oooh oooh (japanese karaoke culture), this gimmick reminded me the song Marcia Baïla from the french band RITA MISTOUKO written in the 80's. You can hear it around 3:30 in the song. This song is now a classic and the video is quite aesthetic.
I am so hiped to see the behind the scenes... take care and have a save trip.
9:24 the movie you are referring to is the sci-fi thriller "Sphere" from 1998 with Dustin Hoffman and Samuel L. Jackson. I was thinking the same thing in this scene. :)
Regarding that large disco ball (9:18), this also reminds me of something and I think that's the movie Sphere (1998). It features a golden liquid metal sphere and the protagonists stand around it pretty much like they do in the music video
It's a VERY well written song! Having enjoyed many a stage right scene from your vlogs, the pyro cluster after the breakdown didn't go unnoticed, in fact the lighting as a whole in the production is phenomenal. Even given that it's Electric Callboy and Babymetal it's amazing how many plays it's gathered in such a short time, and yet it's a thoroughly deserved success. They've managed to strike the perfect balance of ingredients. Well done to all!
It's great to hear that it's such a good outfit working behind the scenes on the tour over there, and yep I'm hyped for a behind the scenes so if that's on the way that'll be cool. I might even hope for something more between these bands.. whilst it can be seen as a novelty track, going back to what we're feeling about it being a really good song you can't really escape the fact that they gel brilliantly. Cheers for the insight and overview man!
Glad for you to make the touring with them! Enjoy the moment
its so cool teh fact that you became their tour manager xD
some people copystrike people for reactions and other praise it and i can tell you, the bands with the most reactions are the bands i listen to the most because i dont find the music myself, i see people react to it and thats the way i find good music nowadays xD
I've heard it's the hook that brings you back.
And I'm fairly certain the movie you're looking for when they're at the giant disco ball is "Sphere".
Watched the "Electric Callboy reacts to reactions of Ratatata" and hearing that it turned into a total collaboration. The harmonies that come with both bands singing together is fantastic, and it just meshes so damn well.
Thanks for the insights Tank. You describing how you wired up Nico and Kevin kinda reminded me of the Austin Powers tent scene. 😂
This song slaps! Everywhere on RUclips people are saying “I needed this “ or “the collab we didn’t know we needed “ Definitely the funnest song of the year!
Fox fest was amazing. Both days ec set was just a giant dance party even if you didn't want to. The pits and dancing during ratatata were insane. thank you for your hard work.
To your point, I specifically credit BABYMETAL and Electric Callboy as the bands that put the fun back in metal. Amaranthe as well, to some extent, but they never got quite as popular.
And Babymetal noticed, Amaranthe was opening band in the UK in 2019, 1 show though. The other opening bands: Sleep Token.
Which had a funny effect, those in the audience that liked 1 opening band didn't like the other much and vice verse.
When Nico and Kevin go through the wall makes me think of the Kool-Aid guy.. 😂 Tekkno Kool-Aid 🤣
9:30 The thing that you are reminded of is the Shortfilm "Astartes"... at least that is what that reminded me of
Thank you for sharing us your expirience. Have a great time. Maybe see you at the Rock am Ring Festival in Germany, where Babymetal and Electric Callboy coincidentally have their shows on the same day😀
"I love when bands can be fun and not take themselves too seriously while also taking the music seriously." 💯 You nalied it Tank!
Thanks for posting this!
Very happy for both bands and wish them continued success!
I have never been a big BabyMetal fan, and I've never listened to an Electric Callboy song before, but this is fire. I love this.
Its dope in the comments seeing how many people are discovering the other band. I've been listening to baby metal for days, and have seen a lot of comments from Babymetal peeps saying the same about Electric Callboy
I heard this song yesterday and I've already listened to it like 25 times. It's heavy, poppy, funny and so much fun!
Simply? This song is absolute JOY!!
I fucking love the fact that you always give BabyMetal the respect they deserve :) Since you started with BabyMetal It's always been with fairness respect which for a LONG time, was unfortunately rare for metalheads.
It's been a long 'road of resistance' for BM (Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk... ahem.... Ok I'll let myself out now...) in gaining acceptance from the metal community. So many elitists and anti-fans make reactions and reviews from channels like yours really precious to the fan base, so thank you :)
PS: Oh! and two more things, so many people don't realize that Momo-Metal did a few growls in this collab. I'm super proud of that girl for stepping up to add the one thing BabyMetal was missing! Also, It was super cool to get a behind the scenes perspective from you :) So double thank you for that XD
Thanks. This was awesome insight. Really appreciate it.
This was a reaction I wasn't expecting, just because you are so close to the band. But it happened, and I loved your little insights you gave us on this. I say "little", because there would be so much more of inside information that we are all interested in. For example, even if this is a 50/50 collaboration, who came up with the initial idea? Why it is released on the BM and not on the EC channel...? Questions over questions. But I understand that this is confidential and only to be revealed by the bands itself. I guess you just won't add "Whistleblower" to your resumé... 😉😁😉
Anyway, as a German, I am kinda proud of EC and especially how this "niche" collab is currently blowing up. What a effing great job by all the involved parties, and I mean everybody, from the bands to all the production and touring crews...
Maybe you can forward a huge THANK YOU to EC, just because they bring so much fun in such unfunny times...
9:40 When Moa & Momo just pop up behind Su is my absolute favorite moment in the video, because its just so silly, & it's great to see the girls get to ham it up & have fun in this video because, as much as I absolutely love The Other One to death, its not a "fun" BabyMetal album, & its so clear the girls are having a blast making this video. I also love the shot where they poke their heads around corner after Nico & Kevin blast thru the wall. Just absolutely love this song & video!
This is a collab I wasn't expecting, but I sure was *hoping* for. This is a bop.
Last year Babymetal album is unironically one of my 2023 metal album. The "idol group" singing style is truly left behind, and it does not feel gimmick-y as the previous album were (not that gimmick are bad, metal IS gimmicky as hell, it was fun! ). Suzuka singing have reached really great level, and the songs are both very catchy and heavy. We even have breakdown-y bits and a lot of double kick pedal.
Agreed they have reached another level with the last album. They did say it was a concept album so maybe that's why
9:27 Event Horizon?
@@so7invictus I'm hoping Sphere...
@@SuddenReal right.. forgot about that one
Love this reaction! This song is my first introduction to both these bands and i am so addicted to this song. Definitely checking out more to both of them!
Good business move by both bands should gain more fans both ways
I bet those girls are awesome to deal with. And they are Metal.
Kudos to whoever glued all the mirror tiles on that giant disco ball, helmets etc. 😃I know the procedure from making solar cookers, those must be tens of thousands mirror tiles just for that video shot
😂 apparently you can actually buy them online lol , I think this outfit is going to be a rage at their upcoming tour
Thank you for your insights and (because I think that isn't said nearly enough) thank you and people like you for helping our favorite artists with bringing us joy through their performances!
Thanks for also providing the insider scoop. Not a lot of people are able to do so
Thanks for this review. I just have a smile watching this mv .
I am looking forward to making off the video . 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Movie is 1998’s “Sphere”. Dustin Hoffman and Samuel L Jackson.
This song is no novelty. It is a banger that came at the exact time we all needed it.
oh also.. iam so happy for you that you can keep working togheter with Electric Callboy :D You are such a good fit in the whole crazyness that is this band and crew behind the scenes.
That's pure dope. I discovered it yesterday and spent the afternoon at work with headset on. 😅❤
Someone commented on another reaction that this video is just like Dads being asked to dance in the background of their Daughter's TikTok videos and now I can't unsee it!! 🤣🤣🤣
Right now they have 16 million views. That's 10 million views more than the second most watched video on the baby metal channel. It's insane!
it's not unusual for a babymetal song to have multiple hooks. they're very comfortable with that structure. overall, it's a great collab.
I'm glad you could confirm a 50/50 collab, because it definitely sounded like it. It sounds like both a Babymetal song and an Electric Callboy song at the same time, it's glorious.
(Unrelated, got a chance to see EC in Silver Spring earlier this month. Such a fun, excellent show at a great venue. Even security seemed cool. Coincidentally, the last time I was at that venue was for a Babymetal show).
" .. the big disco ball reminds you of something ..."
When I saw that thing my thoughts went to Event Horizon, the 1997 Horror Sci-Fi film with Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill.
Thanks for the reaction Tank, it's always nice to hear you talk about behind the scene things and all that.
I haven't fully taken it onboard yet, but I am warming up to the song and video every time I hear and watch it.
Cheers / Mr_B_Dublin
I was thinking about the movie "Sphere", but I could see how one would think of Event Horizon too.
Event Horizon is where my mind went too
I was thinking 'Sphere' as well as the wh40k 'Astartes' fan videos
Warhammer prequel
When the disco ball gets a "face" due the lightning, thats reminds me of something. And the way how Nico act to them. First I thought something from Hitchhikers guide. But I did not find a picture what that confirmed. But I am sure I have this seen before.
You must be proud that how big this song is right now. It is now #1 on Billboard's Hard Rock Digital Song Sales List. And it now very big all over youtube now.
Song is absolutely nuts. What a BANGER
Tank, the amount of undeserved pride I feel from hearing you're managing the EC tour is unbelievable. It's amazing, and I'm incredibly happy and so goddamn jealous of you that you get to go out there every night and make an insane experience for all the people coming to see the band and then you get to spend downtime with them and see them as people, not as we always see them as performers. Doing what you do, what you've practiced and trained for years, coming up from roadie to manager, that sense of accomplishment and fulfillment must be so satisfying and you get experience that because of hard work and long hours. Congratulations my friend. We're all here cheering you on.
I hope they perform this at Download Festival
they won't, they're playing different days and babymetal will be at nova rock festival on the day EC plays download.
Tank going from the early days of not knowing if he'd like baby metal to working Fox Fest. LOVE IT!!!
Beside the facts, that this song is a banger and this is the collab we never thought we needed it the most it's a masterpiece considering marketing. BabyMetal is introducing EC to Japan and to their fans and EC is doing it the opposite way. I watched several reactions (because the reaction YT scene is exploding right now) and many BM fans never heard about EC and now reacting to them, and also the other way around, EC fans now reacting to BM songs. Genius move from both bands, and like i said the song is an absolut banger, lifting up the spirit and put a smile on your face. Glorious!
@Tank, you worked with EC several times in the past and (i hope) in the future, are you consodering moving to Germany?
Iirc he said in a video that they did think about that. But he's got both a wife and kids, not to mention other friends & family in the US. So while they do have the option, there's definititely big costs involved with moving internationally (and I'm not talking about money).
The smile this band puts on my face is huge. So much fun, always so catchy, thank f for this kind of reprieve in such a weird world. Love it!
Über drivers, gardeners, gym enthusiasts, sauernauts, holiday resort sex gurus, train drivers, mansion owners and now disco balls, cannot wait what our dynamic duo is going to be next. Apart fun things. There will be fun metal things.
I love David's drumming in this song. Also, Tank thank you for taking time out of what has to be a crazy schedule for you to do this for us. Love your channel.
BABYMETAL has been doing happy metal going on 14 years now, since 2010, and I'm glad people are starting to enjoy or at least appreciate that kind of metal music! And Electric Callboy are great at it too! Happy metal is NOT easy to pull off.🤘🦊🤘
I was lucky enough to see BABYMETAL last fall and it was such a fun show. Their live show blew me away.
