UNREAL! First Time Hearing BABYMETAL - MONOCHROME (Live)

[@Ganimal83]

Welcome to Babymetal! Despite only in their early/mid-20s these gals have been doing Babymetal for 14 years. Industry vets who are bonafide stage generals in their own right. One of the best live bands around.
Check out Road of Resistance next!
🤘🦊

Great first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊 There is nobody quite like BABYMETAL.
They started in 2010 as a sub-unit of a school themed JPop Idol group (they were aged 12 and 11 at the time) and created their own metal sub-genre mixing Metal with JPop hooks, melodies and aesthetics. They separated from the parent group in 2013 and have been touring the world every year (when they could) since 2014.
We have watched them grow up and become one of the very best live acts on the planet.
BABYMETAL are Su-metal (lead vocalist and the whole concept was formed and developed around her vocal talents and stage presence - she is exceptionally talented), Moametal and Momometal (in charge of backing vocals, harmonies and mainly hyping and involving the crowd with their choreo).
It is Moa and Momoko's parts that the crowd will sing along with and they are a huge part of what sets BABYMETAL apart from other bands.
The original third member, Yuimetal, last performed in October 2017 and was absent for 12 months for health reasons until she announced in October 2018 that she was still not fully recovered and would be leaving the band.
After Yui left Su and Moa chose to continue as a duo through to and a bit beyond their 10th anniversary. So it was just the two of them for 4 or 5 years supported from 2019 by 3 dancers who would take turns dancing in the third spot until 1st April 2023 (where this performance of 'Monochrome' was filmed) when one of those dancers, Momoko, was finally revealed as the new official third member.
Su calling Moametal and Momometal to her was a very special moment because of that.
They are supported in all live shows by the Kami Band, all of them are world class instrumentalists. Since 2019 they have two Kami Bands, the Kami Band of the East (the best Japanese session musicians you could ask for) have been with them since 2012 and full time since early 2014. The Kami Band of the West (American musicians) joined them in 2019 and have been the full time support for the lengthier tours around the world (they played nearly 100 concerts in 25 countries last year - it was them in this video).
You will only see and hear the Kami Band in live performances, they do not record the studio versions (with one guitarist being the known exception).
They have nearly 70 songs now, each one different to the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre, but they will mix and blend so many other musical styles and genres with the metal - usually when you least expect it.
Their official videos are all very good, but live BABYMETAL is best. I'm sure you will get some great suggestions for more songs. Some are straight metal, some lean towards their pop roots and they do everything in between. All you can be sure of is that they will surprise you every time, you will not be able to predict what you will see or hear from them next. Expect the unexpected.

Thanks from Japan 有難う💛 and welcome. I witnessed this very performance at the venue last year where and when Momometal was inducted into BABYMETAL officially. I sang the ♪ oh oh ohoo ♪ part with my loudest voice in the show holding my phone. What a bliss!
The flying drones with cameras that enabled the beautiful aerial cinematograph were manipulated by experts including Ms. Shiraishi. She is a member of team Japan for World Drone Racing Championship.
Western (American) Kami Band played in the girls' back. They did in BM's North American tour with DETHKLOK and EU/UK tour last year. (And this year's Legend-MM concerts to celebrate Momometal's birthday)
Japanese fans always appreciate the devoted support like knights by Chris, CJ, Anthony and Clint (Ryan replaced in USA). They are really unsung heroes.

Good first reaction👊🏽⚡️The lead singer Su-Metal is a very unique front woman. The humming is a live ad lib. She gives the song a personal touch.🦊🤘🏾

[@taziir443]

Great reaction and please do more Babymetal! You can hear Su's stunning pure vocal on Monochrome piano ver. found on The First Take channel ❤🦊🤘

[@robote7679]

Nice reaction and I like your set-up. You very visible off to the side and a nice large viewing area for the video. What a great performance as an introduction to Babymetal. Don't let their youthful appearance fool you. These ladies (all in their early to mid 20's) are seasoned pros with a devoted worldwide fanbase of millions. They started in their pre-teens with one personnel change Momo (stage left) who is now -ironically-the youngest member of the group-now 21. I think it'd be great if you reacted to some more Babymetal for us fans and for yourself. You have no idea how many wonderful songs and performances await you should you chose to enter the Foxhole (don't worry you'll learn), I would suggest only that Babymetal are legendary for their live performances and to get the fullest feel for who they are the best way is by watching live performances.

[@InGameTheoryLoL]

This is one if the better songs! But check out "Kingslayer ft BabyMetal live in Tokyo" the official live on BMTH youtube page

[@bradkornatowski3866]

Most Anime can't afford BabyMetal to do a song.

[@marcmacinnis6610]

When Su (the singer) was like 10 or 11 she was in a band called Karen Girls that actually did music for an anime. But, umm, Babymetal is doing just fine without doing anime songs ;)

[@TheTeufelpanzerVI]

Ahhh, Babymetal, much fun to had here, my friend! Good first look!

[@TomRussell-cy6ll]

I think they are doing ok.....filling large stadiums around the world !!!!!

[@rah2287]

BABYMETAL Road Of Resistance Live at Pia Arena 2023. You won't regret it! 🤘🏽🦊❤️

[@robote7679]

That performance is sooooo great. And the joy on all the ladies faces is just palpable!

[@guawazi]

That one is OK but some of the older live versions ones with the original Japanese Kami band were even better!

[@Hymnodic]

@@guawazi Earlier ones are less technical than what Dragonforce composed.

[@nyhtlyht]

The monochrome lyric video is animated so it's very fitting.

ありがとう！

[@Mike-xh8fl]

MOAR BABYMETAL! You should 100% check out the live of Kingslayer they did with Bring Me The Horizon. It's one of the best songs of the 2020s.

[@Peter.Cotoncalida]

Hi @hymnodic always good suggestions, definitely road of resistance next

Thanks for your reaction! I definitely would want you to check out more, and react to my other suggestion as well.

[@ksbrst2010]

Most Anime ? You can't inagine how few money they really have. In a way they are responsible for hugh partsvof the idol industry. Even Su was testen, but luckily she was obviously not good enough as a dub actress. How ling it took me to understand why all these Seiyusd were gathering around the only male dub actor.. He simply earned alone what multiple seiyuss don't get

[@GemiMini17]

And they say you can’t dance to Metal lmao sayyyy thatt

[@celt0203]

They are talking about the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The birthcity of Suzuka.

[@Popskull-yl9gn]

Ugh. That word again. Anime.
