For some reason, the more often I listen to this song, the more likely I am to cry. The beauty of the melody and Su‘s performance are so perfect. The haunting atmosphere just grips me every time, and Su‘s voice gets right to my heart.
Su just killing it again. You might not get a huge stadium show but you will get that voice . When Su looks into the camera at 7:34 you know she means business. Not to forget she was only 16 in this performance.🤘😁🤘
well BJ you hit the nail right on the head with the music, Rondo is a musical term to describe the changing notes and directions and stuff, and the story is about a young girl trapped in a repeating nightmare where she is chased by a demon and that part with piano and her singing higher and strange is her meekish request of the demon to reveal his figure before she dies.
Love your BabyMetal reactions. Since you have now seen Rondo of Nightmare, I would suggest viewing Black BabyMetal from the same concert. This is just Yui and Moa singing. Whole lot of action. Onedari Daisakusen | 4 no uta | BLACK BABYMETAL
Suzuka always wanted to be a singer (the legend says, she was born with a microphone in her hand and had sung instead of crying :p). And the two gigs in 2014 ("Red Night" and "Black Night") at the world-famous Nippon Budokan (where this footage is from) was the fulfillment of one of her life dreams. The biggest of the biggest played there and BABYMETAL were and are to date the youngest headliner ever to perform in this iconic venue!
Great reaction BJ!! Please react to Akatsuki live in budokan 2014 black night, that song is a Su-Metal solo too, but different to this one and the Kami Band just killed it like always!
One of my favorite performances from this band for sure. Shows the greatness of Kami band and highlights the amazing vocals that Su-metal has. Great reaction vid BJ! Could you please do a reaction to(Babymetal-The One)I know you’ll absolutely enjoy it!
Awesome reaction as always BJ! Too bad about your No Rain, No Rainbow reaction, but I'm not surprised to be honest. The Kami's are absolute metal masters. "Rondo of Nightmare" is a very eerie song about a girl running through the woods being chased by... something: "It flickers slowly, appearing and disappearing in my mind. A nightmare rondo is being repeated. The awakening light, is gone far away out of my sight. I can do nothing but run, through the darkness." The countdown really has begun, I'm seeing them on Sunday. I can't wait!
I was planning to see them in Orlando, FL until the hurricane approached. I had no idea if the show would even go on or not. In the end, the hurricane barely skirted us but there were still mandatory evacuations in my area. Anyway, great reaction vid. This is a really legit song. Just great!
It was! Thematically it draws heavily on imagery from "Alice in Wonderland" with the added horror of being killed by a demon at the end. I think they decided it was dark enough so they eased on the name!
the word fangs, eyes, fountain perfectly sums up Alice In The Wonderland in the translated lyrics. There's a line that always give me goosebumps: "If I can't no longer get out of here, won't you at least show me your figure". It's either Bandersnatch or Jabberwocky.
To become a true Babymetal fan (kitsune) you need to go back to the Sakura Gakuin days. This link, www.dailymotion.com/video/x2icyer, is their first interview with Sakura Gakuin's press club, "Scoopers". Watching the Nendo tests will make you understand the girls even more.
Great reaction. Yes, the song is very dark, she's trapped in a nightmare and can't escape and at the end she accepts her faith but asks the demon to show himself. Su sometimes sing solo to give each others a rest and sometimes the other sing while Su is resting.
YES!! Excellent reaction to this jam. Such an awesome intro by the Great Kami Band. Then Su-Metal just blows us away with her epic vocals. Rondo of Nightmare is one of my top 5 Baby Metal tracks to blast in my car during the commute to/from work. IF you really want to switch it up with Baby Metal, and want a VERY j-pop/kawaii/catchy song stuck in your head: Awadama Fever.
ruclips.net/video/5mbx2TTAX04/видео.html - Awadama Fever-Legend 2015. Same stage of Road of Resistance at Saitama Super Arena in Japan. (there's a compilation version out there that has a Great crowd response during the performance, but the intro is not edited very well for the Kami Band intro-jam, but still fun to watch)
Now you see why we said this version Rondo Of Nightmare (With Mischiefs of God Intro) really shows off all their individual skills. As a heads up the first BABYMETAL concert of the USA tour was last night in Florida and they have a different band line up (so not the Kami band members you have seen so far). Only one people seem to have any confidence on in the new tour band backing Kami band is Frédéric Leclercq (ex Dargonforce BASS). However from those attending the band absolutely nailed and shredded it.
Different Beat: There are two different time signatures to this song. 4/4 and 3/4, with it moving back and forth. The song is damn near a heavy metal waltz. :)
When I first heard the song on the cd I had the same reaction as you, having that eerie feeling and not understanding the reason. Then after reading the lyrics it changes the feel right away. And that moment at 9:16, always instant goosebumps.
You make me wait a long time to see your reactions on BABYMETAL, but once again it was worth it :)! With respect to KamiBand they are monstrous, but when Su-Metal begins to sing it makes me forget that great intro and his feelings penetrate my whole body. She is the true Queen! This moment is the most epic thing that can exist 9:38 Sorry, I don't speak English, I hope my message can be understood. Best regards from Argentina!
Just casually dropping it "in 5/6 weeks Im gonna go watch BM live"....F lol. So about the blocked content: first of all is an automated reaction by the stupid RUclips algorithms (in case you did not know) so there's nothing to fear about posting that part on any other platform and then link it here somehow (placeholder video, here pinned in the comments....). In fact I saw someone else suggesting exactly that in the comments ^^ I think we'd be all super sad missing your reaction to the best version of No Rain No Rainbow. About the performance, just can you imagine being 17 and getting out of the center of such a big stage on a freaking elevated platform after the top musician of your country just killed it, and with that confidence?!...like WHAT.THE.F! Red Night / Black Night by the way is probably the very best concert Babymetal had since today - so great source for future reactions ("Megitsune" on that stage is a BANGER and "BABY METAL DEATH" is something you NEED to witness - I don't know if they perform that as an intro nowadays cause there are Yui 'talking' parts in that song) ^^
We even tried to remove the audio from No Rain No Rainbow and still couldn't get it to load. This was the second version I reacted to of that same song. Still loved it just as much. Beautiful song.
@@BJSheldon Yeah that's because the copyright striking is done also on image analysis - the strike is due to video being from the official Blur Ray (maybe from the official BM channel too); in fact all the live songs you reacted to gave no issues. I think the only way to avoid losing the reaction is to upload it somewhere else if you have the time and will (like dropbox or the other platform suggested in a coment below) and then link it on the comments here (pinned) or even better on a short placeholder video where you'll just point to the link in the comments. I believe in this last case you'd still be able to monetize the video LOL. And RUclips can go F itself XD
I always look forward to your reactions. Great job as always. As for the pronunciation, there is no BAY sound in the Japanese language. So it becomes BEH. The way 'Heavymetal' is written in katakana is almost exactly the same as 'Bebimetal' except for 2 tiny little tick marks.
Rondo of Nightmare is a song written/composed by Yuyoyuppe, who first came to work with Babymetal as the arranger of Megitsune, and much later did Karate. Rondo of Nightmare is pretty similar in mood to some of what he did before, when he was active in the Vocaloid scene. I suggest you look up Leia for an example of his earlier songs (you can listen to the original version sung by Luka if you don't mind artificial voices, or one of the many covers).
Good reaction video. Love the Kami band, those guys kill it. Boh on base with his performance always makes me laugh, he's really good and shows off a little bit. Su is amazing. This song really takes advantage of the Kami's and Su's strong vocals. One of my favorite performances. Thank you! Also, I would like to see you react to Black Babymetal, where Moa and Yui take over. My favorite one is Onedari Daisakusen which I believe translates to something like "Operation Ask Dad". They are asking Dad for what they want. It's super cute.
Want to see them live so bad. They hit Nashville again and I’m there. Check out Iron bunny 23. People are comparing them to Babymetal but it’s not Babymetal but it is really good.
Yea i saw what they did to you yesterday about this video on your next video if you could just give us your impression of the other version of no rain no rainbow that would be cool.
You want a song that changes direction for no apparent reason? You need to watch Tales of the Destinies + The One (Tokyo Dome 2016) [ dai.ly/x5ggoil ] It's a marathon, almost 19 minutes, but worth every freakin' minute. It's also the way they were written to be performed - Back-to-back, together. (And the Kamis nailed it!) There's an interregnum that will blow . your . mind. Do it.
USA setlist revealed last night in Orlando. If the pattern holds, this is what we can expect to see: -- Intro LORE -- 1) Megitsune [BABYMETAL] 2) Elevator Girl (ENG ver) [Metal Galaxy] 3) Shanti Shanti Shanti [Metal Galaxy] -- Kami solo -- 4) Kagerou (Not a solo any more) [Metal Galaxy] 5) Starlight [Metal Galaxy] 6) Future Metal [Metal Galaxy] 7) Gimme Chocolate [BABYMETAL] 8) PA PA YA!! [Metal Galaxy] 9) Distortion [Metal Galaxy] 10) KARATE [Metal Resistance] 11) Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! [BABYMETAL] -- Mini LORE -- 12) The One (Legend S ver) [Metal Resistance] 13) Road of Resistance [BABYMETAL & Metal Resistance] -- WE ARE! (BABYMETAL!) -- Running time of almost exactly 1 hour.
Good reaction :) Shame about the No Rain No Rainbow part - maybe you could post it with the audio removed and/or the video masked and we can do a link and sync with it. Just add a prompt for us to start up the original video in a new window. Otherwise, you could perhaps summarize your thoughts in the next one. Keep up the good work.
Rondo is a musical form of a repeating chorus while each verse is given a different musical treatment. And the chorus is indeed in 3 with a strong downbeat, that is, a waltz. The other parts do vary and even without a time signature change the rhythm keeps changing although in a multi-bar repeating pattern. The song is about a repeating nightmare of being chased by an unseen monster or demon. In the quiet verse she resigns to her fate but bravely asks that the demon reveal its form.
BJ, you liked this I think because it was different. Babymetal has thrown some interesting things into their repertoire over the years, so if I had to recommend one thing in particular that seems to surprise (and in some cases divide) people I would say it was something they did for their Legend 1997 show (not the year the show took place, but rather a reference to Su's birth in 1997 - Legend 1997 was her birthday show). That said, I think you should react to the Legend 1997 performance of "Babymetal Death." I think you might be a bit surprised by all the theatrics. Anyway, check it out.
Can you record some footage of your concert? I enjoy these videos. You are so emotional in these. I can feel your enthusiasm. Thank you BJ. Megitsune request.
Thanks BJ, nice reaction. Babymetal is pretty special but I love it. If you want to try something different but also pretty nice, you could react to "Ghost love score" from Nightwish live in Wacken 2013.
Thank you so much for reviewing this! It's one of my favorite performances ever. I know you can't review this but fan to fan, you should buy and watch their Legend S - Baptism XX concert. It's priced very low on digital services like apple and google. It'll give you so many emotions with how epic it all is, yui metal missing and it being one of Mikio's final performances before he passed. Keep up the great work!
The Bebi-metal thing, it's how it was 1st pronuced in Japanese, but it was always spelt the English way not the Japanese, so as they became more popular over seas they started saying Babymetal and not Bebi-Metal, so Babymetal is now the more accepted way to say it.
Don't overthink the pronunciation of 'Babymetal'. All English speakers pronounce it as Baby Metal. The Japanese say 'Beh bee metal" but that's only due to the phonetic limitations of the Japanese language.
A suggestion regarding blocked content. There's a video site called bitchute that is free to use, there's no upload limits and currently they are far less restrictive when it comes to copyright issues than RUclips (as in not restrictive at all). If you still have the No Rain No Rainbow reaction you could upload it there. I, and I'm sure many others, would love to see it. If you've had any other videos that were blocked, you could them up there too, as well as any future videos that get blocked as well. You could put up a short video here stating that you did the reaction, it got blocked and that we can see it on bitchute if we want. Then add a link in the description. Several other reactors have taken this route because it really sucks when you put in the effort to make a reaction video and no one gets to see it. It also sucks that we miss out on one of your reactions because of the copyright monster.
Wouldn't worry to much about the pronunciation, If you transcribe Baby Metal from Japanese what you really get is Bebii metaru . There aren't single consonant's in Japanese. so no 'Y' and no 'L' s. So Baby Metal is correct.
Japanese whisky 🥃, girl you just stole my heart. If you can get hold of it, try The Hibiki 17 years old. It’s a blended whisky, not a single malt, but in my not-so-humble opinion it is one of the best Japanese whiskies ever produced. Even better then their 21 year old.
You really need to react t one of the new songs soon you will be seeing on this tour. PA PA YA! MV would be the one (or at least watch it) and if you have any problems use the Glastonbury set to showcase.
The name of the band "Babymetal" (Bebimetaru) comes from the words "baby" (beibi) and "heavy metal" (hebi metaru). The correct pronunciation rhymes with "heavy metal", i.e. no emphasis on the first a as in "baby". However, the band do not strictly enforce this, and most native English speakers still pronounce the name as baby metal.
This song is dark, I mean you need to read the translated lyric. This song actually call "Kill The Alice", but they change it. Inspired from Alice in wonderland, see the lyric it's dark
BJ! I’m back from your BDay video to the girls! Will you please react to this stunning tribute to The late Mikio Fujioka, original guitarist and favorite friend and sensei of Babymetal? It’s the song “Starlight”, which was his tribute song from the band, but unlike the terrible official video that doesn’t even try to honor him or any members at all, this showcases classic moments and his laughing , kind demeanor. Starlight (tribute) ruclips.net/video/-XtzIEoGrTQ/видео.html
Seems like they didnt use the original Kami band in the Orlando show. The band was still good, but not Kami-good. Rumours that the Kami band will only be playing at the LA show ....
Wonderful reaction....... as always! 3:55 ......I really don't want to rain on your parade... but I think it's only fair that you should be warned: .....at yesterday's first gig of the tour in Orlando, the musicians in the backing band (known as The Kami Band) were NOT the usual Japanese virtuosos as featured here. It appears that, for unknown reasons.... (temporary?) American replacements have been brought in. First impressions are.... unfortunately their playing abilities appear to be NOT at the same level as would normally be expected in a BABYMETAL show.This is not really a problem most of the time, but in difficult songs like "Road of Resistance" and also in instrumental intros such as in this video: it is DEFINITELY noticeable. (The vocals are of course, reliably excellent!) No-one knows at this stage whether these stand-in musicians will be used for the entire US tour or not. Possibly/hopefully the standard of playing at Orlando was just due to first night nerves....? Maybe by the time of your show things will have returned to normal..... but there have been NO official announcements about this so far. A very similar thing happened in BABYMETAL's 2018 US tour...... fans were not warned that Yui would be missing, or that the whole show would be radically changed in appearance: with totally different costumes, extra back-up dancers etc. There was quite a lot of negative feedback on social media, especially after the first 2018 show in Kansas City..... but incredibly BABYMETAL's management appears to be making the same PR mistake again: with zero information forthcoming. We will just have to see how the subsequent gigs pan out. btw BABYMETAL's 2019 stage outfits are a very pleasing evolution from what they were wearing in the earlier videos you have reacted to so far. Sorry to be the bearer of worrying news.... maybe you might want to keep an eye on developments during the tour in the Official Tour Thread here: www.reddit.com/r/BABYMETAL/hot/ However, we should all stay positive: I'm really really hoping your BABYMETAL live experience will be totally awesome.... so please let us know how it goes! Best wishes :)
UPDATE! The Japanese musicians in the Kami Band have announced that they are recording their own new solo album starting Sept. 22nd. in Japan. This solves the switcheroo mystery! lol Recording should only take about a week, apparently....and it's expected that they will be joining the US tour in time for the large venue Inglewood Forum date, because it is being filmed for a DVD. So at the moment it's basically 50/50 odds as to which backing musicians you will be getting in AZ: but it's looking a lot more promising! :) Will let you know if I hear any more news!
Please ...please have a look at Ironbunny... ruclips.net/video/4CEqyuem3mA/видео.html I think you would enjoy them just like Babymetal. October is coming and did you see the concert jersey for the concert they look awesome!!!
*Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro. You forgot YUI!!?? #FakeFan! Yui Mizuno (Mizuno Yui, Yuimetal, Angel of Dance, Tomato Princess, Stealer of Souls, Best Metal).
I'm actually just terrible with names. And I'm a newer fan, so I'm still learning it all, but the diehard, longterm fans have been amazing to me, teaching me as I go along. One of the nicest fandoms out there. 😊
Just though I'd send you this video of Su (she had a sunflower on her tee shirt), Moe and Yui around the time Babymetal (2010) was formed - you'll get a kick out of it - ruclips.net/video/H0imue5uHiw/видео.html
their good but typical,, you've seen band maid(which i dig). you need to see aldasious (another band i dig) these are two of my favorite bands coming out of japan right now. i found them after looking for ALL GIRL bands, and to me thats what i love about them all other bands that are not all girls are insignificant to me no matter how talented
This is the song that made me fall in love with Suzuka Nakamoto's voice.
I. Love. Her.
Stimmt!!!
Amen :)
For some reason, the more often I listen to this song, the more likely I am to cry. The beauty of the melody and Su‘s performance are so perfect. The haunting atmosphere just grips me every time, and Su‘s voice gets right to my heart.
I love this. Four demons perform their solos for the ritual summoning of Su-Metal.
That's the Kami Band. Demons are Youkai, not Kami. :D
Su just killing it again. You might not get a huge stadium show but you will get that voice . When Su looks into the camera at 7:34 you know she means business. Not to forget she was only 16 in this performance.🤘😁🤘
Martinmetal She was 15!!
well BJ you hit the nail right on the head with the music, Rondo is a musical term to describe the changing notes and directions and stuff, and the story is about a young girl trapped in a repeating nightmare where she is chased by a demon and that part with piano and her singing higher and strange is her meekish request of the demon to reveal his figure before she dies.
This is why I Sumetal is the queen
Thank you great reaction. Rhythm is waltz. Amazing song.
Not bad for a 16 year old with their band. ;-)
Always kind of amazes me when I think about it.
Such an awesome display of talent all around.
Love your BabyMetal reactions. Since you have now seen Rondo of Nightmare, I would suggest viewing Black BabyMetal from the same concert. This is just Yui and Moa singing. Whole lot of action. Onedari Daisakusen | 4 no uta | BLACK BABYMETAL
consider yourself INCREDIBLY lucky if they perform "From Dusk Till dawn" It's only been performed live once for it's debut
Babymetal is pretty freaking good. great reaction, thank you BJ.
Suzuka always wanted to be a singer (the legend says, she was born with a microphone in her hand and had sung instead of crying :p). And the two gigs in 2014 ("Red Night" and "Black Night") at the world-famous Nippon Budokan (where this footage is from) was the fulfillment of one of her life dreams. The biggest of the biggest played there and BABYMETAL were and are to date the youngest headliner ever to perform in this iconic venue!
The word you are looking for is "haunting" :)
Great reaction BJ!! Please react to Akatsuki live in budokan 2014 black night, that song is a Su-Metal solo too, but different to this one and the Kami Band just killed it like always!
I second this!! plsssss
I third this. Akatsuki
I support this
One of my favorite performances from this band for sure. Shows the greatness of Kami band and highlights the amazing vocals that Su-metal has. Great reaction vid BJ! Could you please do a reaction to(Babymetal-The One)I know you’ll absolutely enjoy it!
You could even say "GJ, BJ!" ;)
clap clap clap
clap clap clap
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

the word fangs, eyes, fountain perfectly sums up Alice In The Wonderland in the translated lyrics.
There's a line that always give me goosebumps:
"If I can't no longer get out of here, won't you at least show me your figure".
It's either Bandersnatch or Jabberwocky.

The other main Su solo song off this album is Akatsuki, would highly recommend any live version.

Have you heard akatsuki? Is such a beautiful song
She's done the "Unfinished" version. Now we're trying to get her to do the normal version.
@@Subjectivity13 She has?? I don't see it or remember it.

I think this my third time watching this video of yours. I love BABYMETAL. I enjoy your reactions.....
Another great react, BJ. BTW, Love what you're doing with your hair.
Want to see them live so bad. They hit Nashville again and I’m there. Check out Iron bunny 23. People are comparing them to Babymetal but it’s not Babymetal but it is really good.
Yea i saw what they did to you yesterday about this video on your next video if you could just give us your impression of the other version of no rain no rainbow that would be cool.

I like your reactions
Lots of Yngwie Malmsteen influence on the guitar solo - well done too!
Good reaction :) Shame about the No Rain No Rainbow part - maybe you could post it with the audio removed and/or the video masked and we can do a link and sync with it. Just add a prompt for us to start up the original video in a new window. Otherwise, you could perhaps summarize your thoughts in the next one. Keep up the good work.
We tried removing the audio, and it was still blocked. But I loved this version just as much as the first version I saw. ❤
Rondo is a musical form of a repeating chorus while each verse is given a different musical treatment. And the chorus is indeed in 3 with a strong downbeat, that is, a waltz. The other parts do vary and even without a time signature change the rhythm keeps changing although in a multi-bar repeating pattern.
The song is about a repeating nightmare of being chased by an unseen monster or demon. In the quiet verse she resigns to her fate but bravely asks that the demon reveal its form.
BJ, you liked this I think because it was different. Babymetal has thrown some interesting things into their repertoire over the years, so if I had to recommend one thing in particular that seems to surprise (and in some cases divide) people I would say it was something they did for their Legend 1997 show (not the year the show took place, but rather a reference to Su's birth in 1997 - Legend 1997 was her birthday show).
That said, I think you should react to the Legend 1997 performance of "Babymetal Death." I think you might be a bit surprised by all the theatrics. Anyway, check it out.
Are you sure she's ready for the DESU!? ;)
Definitely pronounced as it looks.. BABYMETAL...
Can you record some footage of your concert?
I enjoy these videos. You are so emotional in these. I can feel your enthusiasm. Thank you BJ.
Megitsune request.
We are going to vlog it like we did at the OOR concert. Hope it turns out well.
Saw them last night in Atlanta. My biggest disappointment is they didn't play this song. Concert was great though.
Thanks BJ, nice reaction. Babymetal is pretty special but I love it.
If you want to try something different but also pretty nice, you could react to "Ghost love score" from Nightwish live in Wacken 2013.
Thank you so much for reviewing this! It's one of my favorite performances ever. I know you can't review this but fan to fan, you should buy and watch their Legend S - Baptism XX concert. It's priced very low on digital services like apple and google. It'll give you so many emotions with how epic it all is, yui metal missing and it being one of Mikio's final performances before he passed. Keep up the great work!
The Red and Black concerts are available on a blu-ray. They are amazing and you should do yourself a favour and give them a watch in their entirety :)
please react to “THE ONE”‼︎
ALSO do Tale of the Destinies, and you will not be disappointed. Promise.
react to their Onedari Daisakusen live at Makuhari Hall)
Just watched Budokan last week
Very good song, to bad we couldn't hear it.
The Bebi-metal thing, it's how it was 1st pronuced in Japanese, but it was always spelt the English way not the Japanese, so as they became more popular over seas they started saying Babymetal and not Bebi-Metal, so Babymetal is now the more accepted way to say it.
Don't overthink the pronunciation of 'Babymetal'. All English speakers pronounce it as Baby Metal. The Japanese say 'Beh bee metal" but that's only due to the phonetic limitations of the Japanese language.
Agree. And the trio uses the English pronunciation.
Fucking love your reactions, great stuff, subbed cause of the Bmetal. I'd be happy to offer other bands/songs.
A suggestion regarding blocked content. There's a video site called bitchute that is free to use, there's no upload limits and currently they are far less restrictive when it comes to copyright issues than RUclips (as in not restrictive at all). If you still have the No Rain No Rainbow reaction you could upload it there. I, and I'm sure many others, would love to see it. If you've had any other videos that were blocked, you could them up there too, as well as any future videos that get blocked as well. You could put up a short video here stating that you did the reaction, it got blocked and that we can see it on bitchute if we want. Then add a link in the description.
Several other reactors have taken this route because it really sucks when you put in the effort to make a reaction video and no one gets to see it. It also sucks that we miss out on one of your reactions because of the copyright monster.
I second this comment sooooo much. Don't let No Rain No Rainbow reaction go to waste please ^^
謝謝你為他們介紹~
Wouldn't worry to much about the pronunciation, If you transcribe Baby Metal from Japanese what you really get is Bebii metaru . There aren't single consonant's in Japanese. so no 'Y' and no 'L' s. So Baby Metal is correct.
Super band but then the Godess emerged from the ground. What a voice!!!
SU 🤘
Like wad many people mentioned, the intro really gives the feeling that it's a ritual to summon SuMetal LOL
Japanese whisky 🥃, girl you just stole my heart.
If you can get hold of it, try The Hibiki 17 years old. It’s a blended whisky, not a single malt, but in my not-so-humble opinion it is one of the best Japanese whiskies ever produced. Even better then their 21 year old.
（・ω・）つ山崎（Japan high quality whiskey）
You really need to react t one of the new songs soon you will be seeing on this tour. PA PA YA! MV would be the one (or at least watch it) and if you have any problems use the Glastonbury set to showcase.
The name of the band "Babymetal" (Bebimetaru) comes from the words "baby" (beibi) and "heavy metal" (hebi metaru). The correct pronunciation rhymes with "heavy metal", i.e. no emphasis on the first a as in "baby". However, the band do not strictly enforce this, and most native English speakers still pronounce the name as baby metal.
yui already left... because sick but she will comeback then
No it's BABYMETAL Baby Metal. That's how it's pronounced.
now that youve heard as Su-metal only song you gotta hear a song thats just moa and yui try babymetal - 4 no uta
This song is dark, I mean you need to read the translated lyric. This song actually call "Kill The Alice", but they change it. Inspired from Alice in wonderland, see the lyric it's dark
BJ! I’m back from your BDay video to the girls! Will you please react to this stunning tribute to The late Mikio Fujioka, original guitarist and favorite friend and sensei of Babymetal? It’s the song “Starlight”, which was his tribute song from the band, but unlike the terrible official video that doesn’t even try to honor him or any members at all, this showcases classic moments and his laughing , kind demeanor.
Starlight (tribute)

You need to listen to " the one " by Babymetal....I promise you will cry
Please react to Babymetal death legend 1997
Mark Spohn that is not actually a song. Just a little act at the end of Head Banger
Mark is correctly identifying a performance video. You go ahead Mark.
PlezurBazar which should not be confused with a song performance video
@@LouieGrandie well actually you are kind of half wrong half right and by the way I'm not a newbie at this
Oh , hi mark , what's new with you ?
Seems like they didnt use the original Kami band in the Orlando show. The band was still good, but not Kami-good.
Rumours that the Kami band will only be playing at the LA show ....
😉✨
Wonderful reaction....... as always!
3:55 ......I really don't want to rain on your parade... but I think it's only fair that you should be warned:
.....at yesterday's first gig of the tour in Orlando, the musicians in the backing band (known as The Kami Band) were NOT the usual Japanese virtuosos as featured here. It appears that, for unknown reasons.... (temporary?) American replacements have been brought in.
First impressions are.... unfortunately their playing abilities appear to be NOT at the same level as would normally be expected in a BABYMETAL show.This is not really a problem most of the time, but in difficult songs like "Road of Resistance" and also in instrumental intros such as in this video: it is DEFINITELY noticeable.
(The vocals are of course, reliably excellent!) No-one knows at this stage whether these stand-in musicians will be used for the entire US tour or not. Possibly/hopefully the standard of playing at Orlando was just due to first night nerves....? Maybe by the time of your show things will have returned to normal..... but there have been NO official announcements about this so far.
A very similar thing happened in BABYMETAL's 2018 US tour...... fans were not warned that Yui would be missing, or that the whole show would be radically changed in appearance: with totally different costumes, extra back-up dancers etc. There was quite a lot of negative feedback on social media, especially after the first 2018 show in Kansas City..... but incredibly BABYMETAL's management appears to be making the same PR mistake again: with zero information forthcoming. We will just have to see how the subsequent gigs pan out.
btw BABYMETAL's 2019 stage outfits are a very pleasing evolution from what they were wearing in the earlier videos you have reacted to so far.
Sorry to be the bearer of worrying news.... maybe you might want to keep an eye on developments during the tour in the Official Tour Thread here: www.reddit.com/r/BABYMETAL/hot/
However, we should all stay positive: I'm really really hoping your BABYMETAL live experience will be totally awesome.... so please let us know how it goes! Best wishes :)
UPDATE! The Japanese musicians in the Kami Band have announced that they are recording their own new solo album starting Sept. 22nd. in Japan. This solves the switcheroo mystery! lol
Recording should only take about a week, apparently....and it's expected that they will be joining the US tour in time for the large venue Inglewood Forum date, because it is being filmed for a DVD.
So at the moment it's basically 50/50 odds as to which backing musicians you will be getting in AZ: but it's looking a lot more promising! :)
Will let you know if I hear any more news!
Damn you look like you are as near-sighted as me. That's hard to find....peace
Blind as a bat. 😂
Please ...please have a look at Ironbunny...

*Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro.
You forgot YUI!!?? #FakeFan! Yui Mizuno (Mizuno Yui, Yuimetal, Angel of Dance, Tomato Princess, Stealer of Souls, Best Metal).
I'm actually just terrible with names. And I'm a newer fan, so I'm still learning it all, but the diehard, longterm fans have been amazing to me, teaching me as I go along. One of the nicest fandoms out there. 😊
Just though I'd send you this video of Su (she had a sunflower on her tee shirt), Moe and Yui around the time Babymetal (2010) was formed - you'll get a kick out of it - ruclips.net/video/H0imue5uHiw/видео.html
