Great reaction - and its so good to see you not only read the comments but also take in the information provided. Good job. 'Karate' was the lead single for their second album. It is about fighting adversity, when life knocks you down and everything seems too hard so you're hurt and crying, its about standing up and fighting on, helping each other through the hard times. They used karate to illustrate this as it is a Japanese martial art and reflects their culture - as Moametal also said, it is all about moving forward which is also one of the main traits of BABYMETAL, many of their songs carry that message. In the video the figures in white were the girls all along and they were conjuring up their own inner demons to fight against. They beat the first, the second knocked them down but they got up to eventually defeat themselves (did you notice the reflections of each of the girls in their own eyes when the masks shattered and it was revealed as them? Not many people spot that). They did watch a lot of martial arts movies to get ideas for the choreo as they wanted it to look as authentic as possible. Moa catching the fly was a nod to Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid. Mr Miyagi may have used chop sticks (and it may have taken him two or three films before he caught one), Moa caught her fly with her eyes closed - first time. This song and video won 2 awards. "Best Metal Video in MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2016" and "Best Metal Song in 6th Annual Loudwire Music Awards". I think you would enjoy their song 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' and the performance at Sonisphere 2014 in the UK - their first major event outside of Asia and their first time in the UK ... plus you are yet to hear them live, the two official videos you have watched have the studio audio of course.
" they wanted it to look as authentic as possible" My karate sensei would've slapped them and sent them home for those punches. I love the song, but good god don't tell people this has anything to do with karate lol
Thanks for the vid! Babymetal is definitely fun to watch/react to - and surprisingly a lot of their songs do have a deeper meaning (on top of being positive). Babymetal was somewhat of an experimental as they were a sub-goup of an idol group the 3 girls were part of (Sakura Gakuin). There was a play on word with Baby and Heavy - but the producer, Kobayashi Key, chose the word "Babymetal" to represent a new birth in the metal scene (fusion of metal and jpop/idol music). Since you guys don't like spoilers, I won't go too much into details, I'll just give the basic background, lead singer is Nakamoto Suzuka (Su-metal, born Dec 1997), backup Mizuno Yui (Yui-metal, born Jun 1999) and Kikuchi Moa (Moa-metal, born July 1999). Their live performances are backed by the Kami Band (talented and skilled group of musician). Their live performances are off the charts, I'm pretty sure you'll get comments from others about checking out their live performances. A fun one could be their performance in Sonisphere, 2014, their first ever tour outside of Asia - at a metal festival of all places :p All the best in 2022!
Great & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This MV was filmed in 2016. The girls have grown up into beautiful ladies now. Albert looks fairly knowledgeable about BM thanks to fans in the world. Their activities have been worldwide since 2014. In the latest world tours from June 2019 through March 2020 (prior to COVID), they performed live 20 times in USA (in 18 states), 19 in EU/UK/Russia and 1 in Taiwan in addition to 15 in Japan. Last year 2021, they carefully restarted their activities and completed 10 serial concerts here in Tokyo taking very strict countermeasures against infection. BM performed Karate in all of the 10 shows. Su-Metal hit the high note at the end flawlessly with matured voice and made audiences rejoice. Beautiful moves by Moa and Momoko soothed everything. I experienced it at the venue ヽ(^o^)丿
Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that this video gets often copyright blocked, so this reaction may be taken down! If it does, you can try and put a transparent logo on top, or play a bit with the video opacity: with other reactor it worked! No, BabyMetal hasn't done any anime song up to now, but the main singer's previous group called "Karen Girls", did songs for the Anime "Zettai Karen Children"! Since you talked about Death Note, you should be familiar with "Maximum the Hormone": that band did the songs for the second season of Death Note :D BabyMetal was created as a subgroup of the J-Pop group Sakura Gakuin, by producer Kei Kobayashi, aka Koba-Metal , after hearing the Suzuka (the main singer) at her last Karen GIrl show :) The part of Hebi-Metaru and Bebi-Metaru is a play on words that they love to do, and the Baby in BabyMetal also stands as the birth of a new genre, Kawaii-Metal! Good job remembering that :D
Great reaction now its unblocked ! This is a great song which as everyone else has said is even better live. BABYMETAL excel “live”. Su, the main singer, has extraordinary talent, power & command of the stage while remaining the sweetest girl you can imagine.
You should react to one of their earlier music videos (such as “Doki Doki Morning”) and one of their recent music videos (such as “BxMxC”). That way you could see how their music has evolved over the years.
Good to see you reacted to your second BabyMetal song and you took notice of what was said last time .😁 Should check out live version of this song it's a great video but live is so much better . Su's natural vocals are much better than studio . Try Ijime Dame Zettai performed at there 1st Metal festival outside Asia at Sonisphere in the UK 95% of audience did not know who they where or Road of Resistance live in Japan. BabyMetals is a band you should experience live and i am sure you be saying " are they still touring i have to see them " welcome to the foxhole (we mention fox's a lot ) 🤘🦊🤘
Karate (Babymetal song) "Karate" is a song by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal from their second studio album, Metal Resistance. The song was released to active rock radio as an airplay-only single in the United States on February 26, 2016. "Karate" •Single by: Babymetal. •Album: Metal Resistance. •Language: Japanese. •Released: February 26, 2016. •Genre: J-pop, nu metal, metalcore. •Length: 4:23. •Label:RAL, Sony Music. •Songwriter: Yuyoyuppe. •Producer: Kobametal. •Yuyoyuppe: (arrangement) Babymetal singles chronology:- •"Gimme Chocolate!!" (2015). •"Karate"(2016). •"Distortion" (2018). Background and release:- According to Suzuka Nakamoto, "Karate" is reminiscent of the song "Megitsune", which "is popular among international fans. [The song] has not only Babymetal vibes, but also has Japanese elements. Its lyrics portray a strong will to go on, no matter what happens in your life." The song is a nu metal song that contains elements of metalcore. Composed by Yuyoyuppe and arranged under the name Yuppemetal, "Karate" also features djent-like riffs, and a J-pop melody. Loudwire's Graham Hartmann described the song as "incredibly charming. Instrumentally, it’s also heavy as hell. The song’s main riff is way low on the sonic spectrum, chugging away in a no-nonsense djent fashion." Kikuchi explained that the lyrics are about never giving up and always moving forward, no matter what difficulties need to be endured. Furthermore, Yui Mizuno described how the dance moves were made to help express the message of the song, as most of the lyrics were in Japanese. Reception:- "Karate" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Lars Gotrich of NPR Music described the song as "catchy and grandiose" praising Nakamoto's vocal performance, comparing her to Evanescence lead vocalist Amy Lee. Jon Hadusek from Consequence of Sound called the song, as well as "From Dusk Till Dawn" essential tracks from the album. While reviewing Metal Resistance, Jordan Bassett of NME praised the song, describing it as "fast and furious until jangling, arpeggiated guitar alters the rhythm." Hartmann praised the song's chorus, calling it "one of the catchiest pieces [Babymetal] has crafted to date." "Karate" peaked at number two on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart on the issue dated March 19, 2016, spending fourteen weeks on the chart. The song debuted at number 24 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, for the week of March 12, 2016. After the release of the band's second album Metal Resistance, in the week of May 7, 2016, the song peaked at number 17, spending a total of twelve weeks on the chart. Live performances:- "Karate" premiered at Yokohama Arena on December 12, 2015, during the final dates of the Babymetal World Tour 2015, and was added to the setlist of the Babymetal World Tour 2016, performed on the first tour date at Wembley Arena. The song had its first televised performance at TV Asahi's Music Station on April 22, 2016. The song's choreography contained interpolations of karate moves, as shown in the music video. BABYMETAL WIN FIVE HONORS IN THE 6TH ANNUAL LOUDWIRE MUSIC AWARDS:- Japanese pop-metal sensation Babymetal are one of the 6th Annual Loudwire Music Awards’ biggest winners, as their fans voted them to victory in five separate categories. The teen trio and their phenomenal backing musicians have rocketed to the top of the metal world, and in many ways, the worlMd of music. Babymetal’s rabid fanbase filled the Tokyo Dome two nights in a row, so it’s no surprise the band won the Most Devoted Fans award for the second year in a row, this time edging out fellow Japanese act X Japan. Babymetal’s Metal Resistance album proved the group wouldn’t go out as a one hit wonder. It kicks in hard with “Road of Resistance” and keeps moving with anthemic cuts that are criminally catchy. Metal Resistance won Best Metal Album in our latest awards, while “Karate” took home the trophy for Best Metal Song. 2016 was Babymetal’s year for touring, playing Wembley early in the year, appearing on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, taking over North America, playing the Tokyo Dome and finally supporting Red Hot Chili Peppers in the UK. For Babymetal’s accomplishments, they’ve been voted Best Live Act. Finally, frontwoman Su-metal claimed victory in our Rock Goddess of the Year category, beating out beloved singers like Amy Lee and Cristina Scabbia. Karate Romaji Lyrics - Seiya sessesse seiya.

Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult.
C'mon, folks!!! It's been eleven months! Don't you think it's way overdue to react to some more BABYMETAL? I suggest going back to their first MV, "Doki Doki Morning" - I think you'll get a real kick out that! 😁 KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
after you watch a few more Babymetal videos (and I recommend you watch the live versions always), then you really need to watch the "guide to Babymetal" to learn the history of them' but not until you've watched a few more videos, like "Headbanger, Papa Ya, Road of Resistance (Dragon Force helped make the music for that one), Rondo of Nightmare, and so on" after you see a few more watch the Guide it will enlighten to their story, it's really incredible
I recently fell down the foxhole and am slowly getting to know their songs. I enjoy watching reaction videos to see what other people think. As for what songs to recommend my current list is fairly short do to my newness to BABYMETAL. Though everyone has different tastes some of the songs I have enjoyed so far are Road of Resistance (Live in Japan), Handanger (Legend 1997 or if you want something different there is a version refered to Moabanger where Moa does part of the song for her 20th birthday), Su does a beautuful solo ballad called No Rain No Rainbow, or if you want something to just have fun and jump around there's Oh Majinai featuring Joakem Broden or PA PA PA with F Hero
For actual Anime music let me draw your attention to the bands of the BanGdream franchise, where the musicians are the voice actors. Please react to the mighty "Raise A Suilen": R.I.O.T, their rivals "Roselia": Black Shout, or "Morfonica": Daylight. All live of course.
🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Gr8 Reaction!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Welcome to the Fox-Hole!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Many, many more songs/videos for u both to discover from this AWESUM Band!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 U both should try reacting to HANABIE - We Luv Sweet next!!! 🤟🤘🤟 Another AWESUM Japanese Band (All Girl band who play their own instruments) 🤟🤘🤟 Their EP Album (Cherry Blossoms r Blossoming) 2018 and latest Album (Girl's Reform Manifest) January 2021 r both AWESUM!!! 🤟🤘🤟
Good reactions, but y'all gotta stop using the official MVs. You'll just keep getting blocked. The festival performances from the official channel are generally safe, and there are a bunch of good performances from some of their early shows like Headbanger from Legend 1997 or Rondo of Nightmare from Budokan Black Night.
Great reaction - and its so good to see you not only read the comments but also take in the information provided. Good job.
'Karate' was the lead single for their second album. It is about fighting adversity, when life knocks you down and everything seems too hard so you're hurt and crying, its about standing up and fighting on, helping each other through the hard times. They used karate to illustrate this as it is a Japanese martial art and reflects their culture - as Moametal also said, it is all about moving forward which is also one of the main traits of BABYMETAL, many of their songs carry that message.
In the video the figures in white were the girls all along and they were conjuring up their own inner demons to fight against. They beat the first, the second knocked them down but they got up to eventually defeat themselves (did you notice the reflections of each of the girls in their own eyes when the masks shattered and it was revealed as them? Not many people spot that).
They did watch a lot of martial arts movies to get ideas for the choreo as they wanted it to look as authentic as possible. Moa catching the fly was a nod to Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid. Mr Miyagi may have used chop sticks (and it may have taken him two or three films before he caught one), Moa caught her fly with her eyes closed - first time.
This song and video won 2 awards. "Best Metal Video in MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2016" and "Best Metal Song in 6th Annual Loudwire Music Awards".
I think you would enjoy their song 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' and the performance at Sonisphere 2014 in the UK - their first major event outside of Asia and their first time in the UK ... plus you are yet to hear them live, the two official videos you have watched have the studio audio of course.
" they wanted it to look as authentic as possible"
My karate sensei would've slapped them and sent them home for those punches. I love the song, but good god don't tell people this has anything to do with karate lol
@@SomeUnsoberIdiot They weren't taught karate, they watched films and turned what they saw into dance moves - could your karate sensei sing? 🙃
Some unsober idiot;
“My sensei” 😏
Don’t get your Gi in a wad it’s just choreography.
But good luck in your lessons.

Thanks for the vid! Babymetal is definitely fun to watch/react to - and surprisingly a lot of their songs do have a deeper meaning (on top of being positive). Babymetal was somewhat of an experimental as they were a sub-goup of an idol group the 3 girls were part of (Sakura Gakuin).
There was a play on word with Baby and Heavy - but the producer, Kobayashi Key, chose the word "Babymetal" to represent a new birth in the metal scene (fusion of metal and jpop/idol music).
Since you guys don't like spoilers, I won't go too much into details, I'll just give the basic background, lead singer is Nakamoto Suzuka (Su-metal, born Dec 1997), backup Mizuno Yui (Yui-metal, born Jun 1999) and Kikuchi Moa (Moa-metal, born July 1999).
Their live performances are backed by the Kami Band (talented and skilled group of musician). Their live performances are off the charts, I'm pretty sure you'll get comments from others about checking out their live performances. A fun one could be their performance in Sonisphere, 2014, their first ever tour outside of Asia - at a metal festival of all places :p
All the best in 2022!
Great & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This MV was filmed in 2016. The girls have grown up into beautiful ladies now. Albert looks fairly knowledgeable about BM thanks to fans in the world.

No, BabyMetal hasn't done any anime song up to now, but the main singer's previous group called "Karen Girls", did songs for the Anime "Zettai Karen Children"!
Since you talked about Death Note, you should be familiar with "Maximum the Hormone": that band did the songs for the second season of Death Note :D
BabyMetal was created as a subgroup of the J-Pop group Sakura Gakuin, by producer Kei Kobayashi, aka Koba-Metal , after hearing the Suzuka (the main singer) at her last Karen GIrl show :)
The part of Hebi-Metaru and Bebi-Metaru is a play on words that they love to do, and the Baby in BabyMetal also stands as the birth of a new genre, Kawaii-Metal!
Good job remembering that :D
Try them live "BABYMETAL- Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK"
Great reaction now its unblocked ! This is a great song which as everyone else has said is even better live. BABYMETAL excel “live”. Su, the main singer, has extraordinary talent, power & command of the stage while remaining the sweetest girl you can imagine.
Babymetal performing live is even better. React to live Babymetal. ;)
Their MVs are works of art.
🤘🐶♪ Check out the girls' live performance.
amazing reaction, you need to react to Babymetal syncopation live is very good, I'm sure you will like it.
in Japan,the purpose of 武道Budou like 空手Karate is to win oneself.
this video means it.
You should react to one of their earlier music videos (such as “Doki Doki Morning”) and one of their recent music videos (such as “BxMxC”). That way you could see how their music has evolved over the years.
Yeah, great reaction, more BABY METAL reaction
baymetal,who doesn't mean that the age is small,it means the birth of something new
p.s BABYMETAL -it's one word:))))
Good to see you reacted to your second BabyMetal song and you took notice of what was said last time .😁
Should check out live version of this song it's a great video but live is so much better . Su's natural vocals are much better than studio .
Try Ijime Dame Zettai performed at there 1st Metal festival outside Asia at Sonisphere in the UK 95% of audience did not know who they where or Road of Resistance live in Japan.
BabyMetals is a band you should experience live and i am sure you be saying " are they still touring i have to see them " welcome to the foxhole (we mention fox's a lot )

I like how Cynthia and the dog are somewhere else throughout all of this and don't give a drat. Perfect.

C'mon, folks!!! It's been eleven months! Don't you think it's way overdue to react to some more BABYMETAL? I suggest going back to their first MV, "Doki Doki Morning" - I think you'll get a real kick out that! 😁
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Well BABYMETAL is not for everyone. Thank you Suki for giving them a try. And patiently sitting through till the end. That's all we ask.
the video is beautyfull and the music is powerfull-i get into seconds in that melody-great stuff
Would love to see your reaction to Shawn Mendes’s video of It’ll Be Okay. Since he’s one of your favorites.
👍👍 next ~ baby metal ・ syncopation / ( kami band intro live ) kagerou / yava! / 👍

You guys should react to BM live, you will truly see greatness in effect. BABYMETAL live is LIFE.
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
Your dog also likes babymetal
after you watch a few more Babymetal videos (and I recommend you watch the live versions always), then you really need to watch the "guide to Babymetal" to learn the history of them' but not until you've watched a few more videos, like "Headbanger, Papa Ya, Road of Resistance (Dragon Force helped make the music for that one), Rondo of Nightmare, and so on" after you see a few more watch the Guide it will enlighten to their story, it's really incredible
I recently fell down the foxhole and am slowly getting to know their songs. I enjoy watching reaction videos to see what other people think. As for what songs to recommend my current list is fairly short do to my newness to BABYMETAL. Though everyone has different tastes some of the songs I have enjoyed so far are Road of Resistance (Live in Japan), Handanger (Legend 1997 or if you want something different there is a version refered to Moabanger where Moa does part of the song for her 20th birthday), Su does a beautuful solo ballad called No Rain No Rainbow, or if you want something to just have fun and jump around there's Oh Majinai featuring Joakem Broden or PA PA PA with F Hero
Exaaaactly my thoughts as I was watching, they should do Anime Openings if it's not already the case !! Dope visuals too !!! Great reaction !!
Thank you! Yeah absolutely!
Ну ничего себе, клёвая песня! :)
Nice. Try BxMxC next! Or Road of Resistance Live from Japan. Amazing performance.
For actual Anime music let me draw your attention to the bands of the BanGdream franchise, where the musicians are the voice actors. Please react to the mighty "Raise A Suilen": R.I.O.T, their rivals "Roselia": Black Shout, or "Morfonica": Daylight. All live of course.
🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Gr8 Reaction!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Welcome to the Fox-Hole!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 Many, many more songs/videos for u both to discover from this AWESUM Band!!! 🤟🤘🦊🤘🤟 U both should try reacting to HANABIE - We Luv Sweet next!!! 🤟🤘🤟 Another AWESUM Japanese Band (All Girl band who play their own instruments) 🤟🤘🤟 Their EP Album (Cherry Blossoms r Blossoming) 2018 and latest Album (Girl's Reform Manifest) January 2021 r both AWESUM!!! 🤟🤘🤟
Inuyasha they did in a beginning disk 3 se2 I believe
Pls react to Gigi de Lana's L.O.V.E by Nat King Cole. Watch her new rendition/ version of this song. Thank you
Это вам не бутерброды в холодильнике искать в 3 часа ночи )
They were fighting their own demons.
They were themselves behind the masks.
Good reactions, but y'all gotta stop using the official MVs. You'll just keep getting blocked. The festival performances from the official channel are generally safe, and there are a bunch of good performances from some of their early shows like Headbanger from Legend 1997 or Rondo of Nightmare from Budokan Black Night.
A little bit late but welcome to the Foxhole 🦊🤘
bless u 7:00
Hi Suki!
React to Tales of Destinies - Babymetal pleaseeee.....
🦊🦊🦊
Can't hear you talking over the super loud music...
Babymetal is much better live
