@@slaytronic cleary you know nothing about them, the treat each other with the most respect, the kami band is well known today because of the girls, and the girls are big today because of them too, that's why babymetal is one of the biggest bands today.
@@slaytronic I've seen "serious" bands with high level musicians, playing to 200 people. I think they are doing well on a successful project and that they value their skills
The guys in the band have some very serious musical chops. They look like schooled musicians and very seasoned professionals with phenomenal skill. This is why to me, Babymetal are no joke.
Their live stuff in the states has different members, I believe, but they sound JUST as good as this. I could be wrong, but they were in masks (not surgical ones) so it was hard to tell. But MAN, the energy is great!
Yeah I'm here for the musicians. The vocalists are background for me. But this is also the only song I know by the band and I don't speak Japanese, so...
Pasting from a kind youtuber: "For those that don't understand Japanese, this song is about "kakurenbo", the Japanese version of hide-and-seek. Except they are playing it with an Oni (a mythical creature that usually gets translated as *demon*). You hear the Oni say "mo ikai" (are you ready) and the girls reply "mada da yo" (not yet) which is kakurenbo's version "ready or not here I come". They are playfully teasing and toying with the Oni by running from it (represented by the signature dance) and saying "oni-san kochira" (this way Mr. Oni) and "te no naru ho e" (follow my clapping)."
The smile on Mikio Fujioka's face at the beginning of this video is what made me keep watching this, my first exposure to Babymetal. I first saw this video in 2021, had never heard of them, and was totally blown away by this video-then the Biker Hello Kitty Girls show up, and I became a fan. Then I saw the Gimme Chocolate video. Sadly, I had no idea that Mikio Fujioka had already passed 4 years before I had first seen him, and 7 years (today) before I found out. RIP, sir.
No matter what you think about Babymetal overall, I feel like any music lover should just take a step back and look at this video and just describe what's happening in it. There's an entire arena of people rocking the fuck out, a giant custom stage setup that's fox and occult themed, a live band of some of the best session guys in the business, and some cute Japanese girls saying Hi and making people want to rip the chairs out of the building.

It seems to be a lot of misunderstanding about BABYMETAL. Here is a little background. About 10 years ago, the three girls were in a kind of specialty middle school called Sakura Gakuin. The two younger girls, Yui and Moa auditioned for the school because Sū, who was already a well-known performer, was there. SG was a school for young women who wanted to be performers. Sū was already an actor and the younger girls shared her enthusiasm. They are actors who sing and dance. When they perform they are not simply singing and dancing, but they are also acting out a story. For example, Gimmie Chocolate is part of a story in which the younger girls are corrupted by demons and eventually turned into wax figurines. The older girl outwitted the demons, rescued the other two and flew away in a heavy metal arc to a place of safety. The song is about the time they became fixated on chocolate, which was the first step in a sequence of temptations that led them to their doom. The song in this video is about three young girls that are playing a game of hide and seek with a demon. If any one of them lose that one will be carried off by the demon never to be seen again. Anyhow, about 12 years ago, one of their teachers asked them about heavy-metal and they said they knew nothing about it. So they were given a project of inventing heavy-metal from some very basic ideas. It was just supposed to be a class project, but somebody made a cell phone video of their presentation and within a year they had fans all over the world. Everything that BabyMetal does on stage flowed from that idea. The girls have written only one song, Song 4. The rest were written by others, the music was written by others. There is a lot of reference to an homage of heavy-metal Japanese music in BABYMETAL music. There’s also a lot of homage in reference to heavy-metal music from all over the world. However, the girls are the ones who develop the dances. They have a choreographer who certainly played a big role but most of the input came from the girls themselves. When Su-metal, the taller one with the big mic, performs she is acting in a role as she sings the song. As a result she conveys a lot of emotion through her voice and I feel that is one of her main qualities. She has been singing in this way since 2007. The two younger ones mainly express themselves through dance. These kids paid their duesThey have bee performing all over the world for over ten years. They went on their first world tour while the younger two were still in middle school! They have accomplished things that most people thought were impossible. They had the first Japanese-language hits in the US in decades. They’ve had a tremendous influence on the music industry. Right now because of the Covid situation they are not performing much. But they’re hoping to come back to the stage soon, because they are troupers.
Nice one - absolute fair play to them to be able to pursue their dreams - I played in a semi-successful signed rock band for years and never got close to this and I admire them for making it all the way to the top - they are a credit to their parents and families - top lasses (y)
As a 58 year old rock/metal fan since I was about 15 and have seen loads of bands live, saw these guys at Wembley and Cardiff and both times thoroughly enjoyed, would highly recommend going to see them if you get the chance, the crowd at both gigs was really diverse, from teens to ancients like me, and we all had a great time
They are keeping metal alive for newer generations and I respect that .This is not everyone’s cup of tea coz they can’t accept these 3 younglings are better and different then most of present metal bands. Kudos to the whole band
These 3 younglings are only the singers for the band but yes they are different from anything I've ever seen and the band is pretty damn good. There is only one Babymetal
Metal is perfectly fine, it doesn't need to be "kept alive" by Babymetal, there are literally thousands of new and good bands playing metal of all kinds, metal is not supposed to get pop(ular).
Take it from the old school headbanger who discovered heavy metal back in 1983 and is likely old enough to be some people here's father; most metalheads hate, fear, and dread anything that brings something new and different to the table. Me, I'm easily bored and have always appreciated different kinds of music all my life, so I'm not surprised I appreciate Babymetal as much as I do. This is something fresh, new, and unique, and I love it for that reason. Yeah, yeah, I know, they're packaged, bla bla yadda yadda--I don't care. What band isn't, these days? Got news for some of you out there; one of the reasons that most bands sound alike these days in particular is the total lack of innovation and uniqueness forced upon them by the music biz, and that was one of the reasons I bailed on the music biz many, many years ago. Bands are made to play what sells records, like it or not, and I'm just glad that the Japanese music biz at least is open to trying new things AKA throwing things at the wall and working with whatever sticks. That's what makes it unique and interesting, to me. Faisal, I think you're right!
I think they do that on purpose. To me the greatest one was right in the middle of Tales of the Destinies Yui and Moa, broke into a little light-hearted dance which seemed like it was from the 1930s and then went immediately back into the massively complex heavy metal music.
It's actually done on purpose, this song is based on a children's story 青鬼と赤鬼, or the story of the red and blue ogre. The ogres only want friends and when the children run from them the red ogre goes to find (and subsequently kill) them, while the blue ogre brings sense to the red ogre. Hense かくれんぼ, or hide and seek
Whoever created this band, was and is, a genius. I've listened and watched this video everyday, and I am not tired of it. This is my favorite song, and video.
When you watching BABYMETAL on stage, you are seeing the people that created the dance. Also, the girls are actors who can sing and dance. So, when Su-Metal belts out those ballads, she’s usually not just singing a song. She’s playing a character. I think this is why one reason why BABYMETAL can sing songs and Japanese all over the world and people can respond. They’re not just singing words but conveying emotion to the audience. It’s simply amazing.
It was their teacher when they were still in school. The 3 of them didn't know metal at that time and their teacher showed it to them and that's how a school project came about, someone filmed it and put their performance on the internet, which made a lot of people enthusiastic about it and now we're here
All three of their harmonics are unreal, how they get their pitch's to coincide to a SPEED METAL band is on a whole other level of talent. Really wish I jumped on the hype train years ago.
The early "Catch me if you can" and "Headbanger", with Yui and Mikio will always be my favorites! So exciting! (I am a 71 year old classic rock lover.)
One of the greatest bands ever. Their breakdowns were crazy amazing and then when they join it all together, it became heaven tier. I wish more bands were like them.
The first time I saw them I was like wtf did I just watch but now I really am hooked on this band!! The vocals (I admit I don’t know what they are saying) are absolutely hypnotizing & add the right amount of pop to the heavy drum, driving bass & that guitar!! Overall the band has amazing sound & the choreography is mesmerizing
First time I seen gimme chocolate like 8 years ago or something I was in the same boat... wtf is this? I can't get it out of my head and now I'm just a huge fan. People can't understand what I'm blaring down the road while on my motorcycle but I don't care haha
Yup, I had a friend beg me to go and give a free ticket, and he had good taste in music, so I agreed. I went in expecting a meme band, and I walked out forever changed. There's no other band on Earth like Babymetal, it's a love letter to heavy rock that just gives zero fucks about whether it conforms to that genre's stereotype. Which to me is metal as fuck.
The massive audience should be proof enough plain and simple. This band is awesome. The music is one of the hardest sounding. The vocals are an amazing contrast that works all too well. I love it. They have multiple sons that kick ask.
I find the energy infectious! The sheer fun coming off the stage is palpable. The band can play ! Damn those mothers rip it up, on their instruments. I must admit I a fan now!
This was my introduction to Babymetal. After several minutes of saying "What the f is this?", my next thoughts were "They're really cute." and "I think I like this." Now I'm a Babymetal fan for life.
I'm so happy to hear that! Please watch these interviews, but please be careful, I fell into a deep love pit because of it. ruclips.net/video/91miSpVBYO8/видео.html ruclips.net/video/dbODbQMm5Wc/видео.html
I think I had a similar reaction a few yrs ago when I tripped over Babymetal. One way to sum them up, which I heard a YT reaction vlogger say on her first exposure is: "It shouldn't work, but it does."
.....with a _Demon._ Hide and Seek with a Demon. An important distinction. My brother is a metalhead. I played this for him, and he had three distinct reactions. 1) DAMN THAT BASSIST! 2)WTF AM I LISTENING TOO? 3) Headbanging with a quizzical look on his face.
Babymetal can make a song about anything and it will sound amazing. Chocolate, hide and seek, nightmares, vixens, and of course, *literally the number 4* (how do they make a song about the nunber 4 AND HAVE A REGGAE SECTION???)
This is how the language barrier do not exist when the music is so phenomenal !!! I love this band , I just discovered Today 10-25-2022 . I am in love with them ❤
Девчата со своими музыкантами отжигают по полной!Хоть они и давно поют,но я для себя открыл эту шикарную группу только в этом году и считаю одной из лучших групп!
I would kill to go to one of these shows. Everything from the vocalists, the Kami band, and even the crowd. Everything makes this a show you would never forget. Again, the crowd is just as much a part of the show as the band
I'm an old hard rocker from way back, this isn't really to my taste and isn't what I'd listen to much, but I definitely appreciate it and understand why it has such a big following, it's great to see so much creativity and positivity and so many people enjoying it, I'm happy that this exists.
Yeap totally different bit yet has the metal influence as a Japanese style ,other countries has the meatl influence and they make own style still on the metal influence
@@Arthur_Rodri The first BBM video I saw was the official version of Road of Resistance. Three little girls come out and proceed to lay claim to the stage by planting their flags. Then they advance to a smaller stage deep within the audience, where Su-Metal proceeds to recruit thousands of fans into her Heavy Metal army. I was blown away by the extreme detail in staging, the absolute synchronization of the music, the singing, the dancing, and the lights. Then, I found out how young they were. 😳
as an old school metal fan I can appreciate some good theater. reminds me of Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, White zombie etc.. the energy of this band makes me want to jump in that pit. Thank you ladies for keeping Metal alive.🤘
being old, and not even understanding a word they sing; this music makes me happy and young again. Love the theatrics. (been jumping around in my living room)
My eldest Sister kept telling me to listen to Babymetal, her teenage boy loves them too. I waited until I visited them to listen to them (last week). We love heavy metal, she sheepishly said "Sorry, I didn't know if you'd like this... this is what they're like" and worried I'd hate it... I was sat jaw down, looked at her and said, "This is F_____G amazing...this is AMAZING" I can't stop listening to this particular song.
I literally never get tired of watching these videos of BABYMETAL live just cause the shows look like they'd be so fun to watch haha. Please come back to America when i have money 😭
I saw them live at a festival. Half the crowd was moshing the other half was standing there with dumb looks on their faces like they couldn't decide if they loved it or hated it.
Ain't it great? Yes, I know, it's packaged, and I don't care. The girls work hard to put on a great show, and when you get dudes like Rob Zombie taking your back, well, who cares what the haters say?
what a stage performance, unbelievabel, strong, powerful, speed and riffs, perfect in all ways, love it again and again, must have a look, but before, put your volume up !!!!!!!!!
Whoever is playing the pink guitar is my hero. Not for the guitar (though that's a huge bonus), but for how much he's INTO the music. Even when he's in the background, dude is throwing that hair!
I just found this band and I have too many good things to say about them. But this video specifically when each band member got their solo. I have neeeeeever seen or heard a bassist shred like that. I went 😧 and obviously their drummer will melt your face off 🤩
I've seen them live multiple times, they put on an amazingly good show. Small stage or big stage with production. All on stage put in 110% which is part of why it's so energetic.
I clicked on this not knowing what it was... well... I can see why people love it, and why some hate it.. I think those who hate it don't really understand how it would come to be, or why it would come to be. While it's not personally my thing, it is one of a kind, original and incredibly interesting (much moreso than most metal bands, tbh). Also clearly full of talent. I enjoy it and am happy it exists :D And it deserves a hell of a lot more respect than I am sure it gets
They started this trend a decade ago, but there have been several other bands like this since. None of them have blown up like Babymetal though. The only other that has blown up in any significant way is Poppy, as her album "I Disagree" from a couple years ago is definitely inspired by baby metal, but it's different enough to have its own flavor entirely.
They are touring in Australia this month In Japan in August In the US and Canada in August, September and October And Europe in November and December 2023
I really like the energy of the band. In the intro the first guitarist is like: "Hey, check this out. Sounds good, right?" All I can say is: Yes! And in the finale, the band is lik: "Let's shred one more time!"

This is something fresh, new, and unique, and I love it for that reason. Yeah, yeah, I know, they're packaged, bla bla yadda yadda--I don't care. What band isn't, these days? Got news for some of you out there; one of the reasons that most bands sound alike these days in particular is the total lack of innovation and uniqueness forced upon them by the music biz, and that was one of the reasons I bailed on the music biz many, many years ago. Bands are made to play what sells records, like it or not, and I'm just glad that the Japanese music biz at least is open to trying new things AKA throwing things at the wall and working with whatever sticks. That's what makes it unique and interesting, to me. Faisal, I think you're right!
I've never heard of a band that sounds so comical and so fucking badass at the same time.
I think they do that on purpose. To me the greatest one was right in the middle of Tales of the Destinies Yui and Moa, broke into a little light-hearted dance which seemed like it was from the 1930s and then went immediately back into the massively complex heavy metal music.
It is almost like Black Sabbath decided to record an album while sucking helium.
It's actually done on purpose, this song is based on a children's story 青鬼と赤鬼, or the story of the red and blue ogre. The ogres only want friends and when the children run from them the red ogre goes to find (and subsequently kill) them, while the blue ogre brings sense to the red ogre. Hense かくれんぼ, or hide and seek
Yeah only the Japanese could think of something like this
It's actually amazing !!!!
Whoever created this band, was and is, a genius. I've listened and watched this video everyday, and I am not tired of it. This is my favorite song, and video.
You should dive into their older stuff. You'll find songs that blow this out of the water. 😏
When you watching BABYMETAL on stage, you are seeing the people that created the dance. Also, the girls are actors who can sing and dance. So, when Su-Metal belts out those ballads, she’s usually not just singing a song. She’s playing a character.
I think this is why one reason why BABYMETAL can sing songs and Japanese all over the world and people can respond. They’re not just singing words but conveying emotion to the audience.
It’s simply amazing.
It was their teacher when they were still in school. The 3 of them didn't know metal at that time and their teacher showed it to them and that's how a school project came about, someone filmed it and put their performance on the internet, which made a lot of people enthusiastic about it and now we're here
@@foxhunter9547 Interesting 👍
Check out Onedari Daisakusen
All three of their harmonics are unreal, how they get their pitch's to coincide to a SPEED METAL band is on a whole other level of talent. Really wish I jumped on the hype train years ago.
神バンド、プロデューサー、振付師他スタッフの全てが素晴らしい。
"The Kami Band, producers, choreographers, and other staff are all wonderful."
The early "Catch me if you can" and "Headbanger", with Yui and Mikio will always be my favorites! So exciting! (I am a 71 year old classic rock lover.)
Mine too! I Though i only have eyes for Suzuka ❤🔥🫠
You're never too old to bow to the Fox Gods and love Babymetal
One of the greatest bands ever. Their breakdowns were crazy amazing and then when they join it all together, it became heaven tier. I wish more bands were like them.
The first time I saw them I was like wtf did I just watch but now I really am hooked on this band!! The vocals (I admit I don’t know what they are saying) are absolutely hypnotizing & add the right amount of pop to the heavy drum, driving bass & that guitar!! Overall the band has amazing sound & the choreography is mesmerizing
I’m still at wtf
First time I seen gimme chocolate like 8 years ago or something I was in the same boat... wtf is this? I can't get it out of my head and now I'm just a huge fan. People can't understand what I'm blaring down the road while on my motorcycle but I don't care haha
Found them last night. I feel the same way. Like WTF is this? Compelling. I can't stop watching. Such amazing energy.
Yup, I had a friend beg me to go and give a free ticket, and he had good taste in music, so I agreed. I went in expecting a meme band, and I walked out forever changed.
There's no other band on Earth like Babymetal, it's a love letter to heavy rock that just gives zero fucks about whether it conforms to that genre's stereotype. Which to me is metal as fuck.
The massive audience should be proof enough plain and simple. This band is awesome. The music is one of the hardest sounding. The vocals are an amazing contrast that works all too well. I love it. They have multiple sons that kick ask.
I find the energy infectious! The sheer fun coming off the stage is palpable. The band can play ! Damn those mothers rip it up, on their instruments. I must admit I a fan now!
This was my introduction to Babymetal. After several minutes of saying "What the f is this?", my next thoughts were "They're really cute." and "I think I like this." Now I'm a Babymetal fan for life.
I'm so happy to hear that! Please watch these interviews, but please be careful, I fell into a deep love pit because of it.

That was pretty much my first reaction 'What just happened?' when RUclips suggested "Gimme Chocolate"...
fake satan got you
I think I had a similar reaction a few yrs ago when I tripped over Babymetal. One way to sum them up, which I heard a YT reaction vlogger say on her first exposure is: "It shouldn't work, but it does."
Mine was gimme chocolate... Those girls are awsome!
Baby metal has completely revoluntionized the metal industry everyone is extremely talented in what they do and they have fun doing it
The amount of energy in this performance could power New York City for a month
Amazing comment
I love how the band at the start itself gets a whole minute to themselves, awesome tbh😭😭🖤
only babymetal can make a song about hide and seek and make it awesome
This is probably their best song. It has everything. Solos, screaming background vocals, and the singers.
Narasaki from Coaltar of the Deepers actually wrote it, he’s a great songwriter
@@V3x0rtry listening rondo of nightmare in live version,
.....with a _Demon._ Hide and Seek with a Demon. An important distinction. My brother is a metalhead. I played this for him, and he had three distinct reactions. 1) DAMN THAT BASSIST! 2)WTF AM I LISTENING TOO? 3) Headbanging with a quizzical look on his face.
Babymetal can make a song about anything and it will sound amazing.
Chocolate, hide and seek, nightmares, vixens, and of course, *literally the number 4* (how do they make a song about the nunber 4 AND HAVE A REGGAE SECTION???)
To me this was Babymetal at its best. With Mikio and Yui still there.. this never gets old..
Never in a million years would I have think of mixing heavy metal with kids & I have to admit it's really cool
I discovered them while doing a project on interesting sound combinations in music, I searched for the most unexpected and there they were lol. 😂
Well they aren;t kids...so....
This is how the language barrier do not exist when the music is so phenomenal !!! I love this band , I just discovered Today 10-25-2022 . I am in love with them ❤
Девчата со своими музыкантами отжигают по полной!Хоть они и давно поют,но я для себя открыл эту шикарную группу только в этом году и считаю одной из лучших групп!
Once you've reached my age you think you've seen everything to do with music and then along comes this...love it!
FUKN OATH 🎸🎸🔊 🤘🤘 💪
I would kill to go to one of these shows. Everything from the vocalists, the Kami band, and even the crowd. Everything makes this a show you would never forget. Again, the crowd is just as much a part of the show as the band
Im seeing them tomorrow!!!
I'm an old hard rocker from way back, this isn't really to my taste and isn't what I'd listen to much, but I definitely appreciate it and understand why it has such a big following, it's great to see so much creativity and positivity and so many people enjoying it, I'm happy that this exists.
Me too. The band was killer though. Japanese musicians are amazing on RUclips.
Yeap totally different bit yet has the metal influence as a Japanese style ,other countries has the meatl influence and they make own style still on the metal influence
LAME!!
@@christianjackson9360 dude they sell out the Budokan and their stage show is money if you don’t like it, you don’t like it but don’t hate
@ats-3693 check out karate Sumetal the singer is a beast
RIP Fujioka Mikio........ Kami Band great musicians
rip mikio fujioka the little god
I couldn't believe they had a moshpit, too. Awesome. Everything about this put a smile on my face.
I've been in a Babymetal mosh pit, and I can verify that it's as brutal as you'd expect.
they are not just having it, they control it 🤣
You should watch road of resistance.
@@Arthur_Rodri The first BBM video I saw was the official version of Road of Resistance.
Three little girls come out and proceed to lay claim to the stage by planting their flags. Then they advance to a smaller stage deep within the audience, where Su-Metal proceeds to recruit thousands of fans into her Heavy Metal army.
I was blown away by the extreme detail in staging, the absolute synchronization of the music, the singing, the dancing, and the lights.
Then, I found out how young they were. 😳
Heavily featured here the impeccable and amazing guitar of Mikio Fujioka, RIP
Dude was a goat!
God I would love nothing more than to see them live. Every live performance video I see from them they just have the whole place fuckin' bumpin'
Can confirm, they are INCREDIBLE live. If there's one group you need to see live once in your life, it's BabyMetal.
Yui is living legend now though theres is no news about her till now..
buyt she lives in our heart forever..
This is the most amazing concert I've ever seen! The energy! The performance! The crowd! Incredible!
as an old school metal fan I can appreciate some good theater. reminds me of Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, White zombie etc.. the energy of this band makes me want to jump in that pit. Thank you ladies for keeping Metal alive.🤘
Well said
"these three girls had more energy than 90 percent of the bands we play with." - Rob Zombie
being old, and not even understanding a word they sing; this music makes me happy and young again. Love the theatrics. (been jumping around in my living room)
Saw them twice, incredible energy. May not be for the purest but I saw all generations brought together for their concerts, it was awesome to gather
That shot of the pit at 4:40 looks insane!
What can you say? Babymetal is just freaking awesome.
Babymetal is bringing back the joy of 80s metal. Awesome band !!
This Line-up of the Kami Band were absolutely fantastic, absolutely smokin'.
Same, I'm glad they got that! ;D :3
This is hands down THE best live version of this song I've heard so far.
The Kami band is badass. RIP Mikio
My eldest Sister kept telling me to listen to Babymetal, her teenage boy loves them too. I waited until I visited them to listen to them (last week).
We love heavy metal, she sheepishly said "Sorry, I didn't know if you'd like this... this is what they're like" and worried I'd hate it...
I was sat jaw down, looked at her and said, "This is F_____G amazing...this is AMAZING"
I can't stop listening to this particular song.
I literally never get tired of watching these videos of BABYMETAL live just cause the shows look like they'd be so fun to watch haha. Please come back to America when i have money 😭
I saw them live at a festival. Half the crowd was moshing the other half was standing there with dumb looks on their faces like they couldn't decide if they loved it or hated it.
They're touring America this year! I just picked up some tickets for the show in slc!
Coming from an old school metalhead this girls roll hard!
I’ve listened to some of their stuff and the MUSICIANS behind these girls are absolutely fcking AMAZING.
I swear BabyMetal is by far the best thing I have ever seen... It's absolutely insane!! I love the whole... thing... whatever it is. :D
Ain't it great? Yes, I know, it's packaged, and I don't care. The girls work hard to put on a great show, and when you get dudes like Rob Zombie taking your back, well, who cares what the haters say?
Yeah man! I think they’re great!
Indeed
@@MaskedRiderChris packaged?
what a stage performance, unbelievabel, strong, powerful, speed and riffs, perfect in all ways, love it again and again, must have a look, but before, put your volume up !!!!!!!!!
Catch me if you can is underated song. Best choreography in my opinion n kami band play the music very good
I love this whole concept. Three adorable girls singing heavy metal.
Coming back for a US tour this year! I’ll be seeing them in Des Moines, IA! Can’t wait!
I'm still sitting with my jaw on my chest after discovering this last night by accident. Words fail me. Incredible
Congratulations - now you're trapped in the Babymetal cycle and always come back to get your regular dose
2x 8 String Guitar and a 6 Sting Bass😍 Incredible Work!
Japanese audiences rock like crazy. they get right into it.
Do you know what makes them more enjoyable? Their hyperactive fan base . They all look alive!
Cause they are.
This is impressive musicianship of the highest order. This video will stand the test of time and influence music for the next 30-70 years .
Whoever is playing the pink guitar is my hero. Not for the guitar (though that's a huge bonus), but for how much he's INTO the music. Even when he's in the background, dude is throwing that hair!
He's amazing, and he's also a student of the other guy playing on this video (R.I.P.).
Best line-up ever .. we sadly could't see this anymore on further shows...
Their Band Have Some Great Skills. Props On Assembling these Musicians
After a few days of watching all these clips, this is the one I come back to the most. Just kicks so much ass!
the choreography on stage is fun to watch, goes well with the song!
With all the crazy physical exertion during their live performance, their vocals never falter, unlike most of performers who had to lip sync on stage.
Lady Gaga noticed that and was quite impressed. It said that she rehearses her songs while doing crunches in order to develop her lung power.
Da best on live 🙀🫶😻😻😻😻need to see y’all on concert 😻😻the guitarist 😻😻🙀🙀🙀love yaaaa from 🇫🇷 🇯🇵
I just found this band and I have too many good things to say about them. But this video specifically when each band member got their solo. I have neeeeeever seen or heard a bassist shred like that. I went 😧 and obviously their drummer will melt your face off 🤩
Welcome to Baby Metal !
When Japan visits America they come back like this
Then perhaps check out Billy Sheehan :D
私にとっては、ベーシストのBOHさんは、最高です！
プログレッシヴな超絶技巧。
パワフルな音圧を併せ持つベース。
力強いフィンガーピッキングでギター顔負けのテクニカル・フレーズを放つ彼の奏法は、
いかなるベーシストでもなかなか真似できるものではありません。
カナダのバンド「RUSH」の、
天才マルチプレイヤーのGeddy Leeさんと同じぐらい、
私にとっては驚異的です！
I would personally love to go to a live show, they give such a great performance.
I've seen them live multiple times, they put on an amazingly good show. Small stage or big stage with production. All on stage put in 110% which is part of why it's so energetic.
The vocals!!THEYRE AWESOME!and the way the audience lit up the second they came out was so awesome omg.
I love watching how the bass player loves doing what he does.
いろんなLiveを組み合わせているの嬉しい。ソロ部分も複数繋げてるのね。
Man, I never knew how much I needed music from a J-Pop, Death Metal band! Babymetal is my favorite band for today. Arigato Gozaimashita!
I clicked on this not knowing what it was... well... I can see why people love it, and why some hate it.. I think those who hate it don't really understand how it would come to be, or why it would come to be.
While it's not personally my thing, it is one of a kind, original and incredibly interesting (much moreso than most metal bands, tbh). Also clearly full of talent. I enjoy it and am happy it exists :D And it deserves a hell of a lot more respect than I am sure it gets
Respect to this comment, cos I agree 100%
This got me confused (Baby metal)...I love it, but I don't understand it😂. Guess that's the beauty of it
I am sure in some time you will start to like it and then life will never be the same.
They started this trend a decade ago, but there have been several other bands like this since. None of them have blown up like Babymetal though. The only other that has blown up in any significant way is Poppy, as her album "I Disagree" from a couple years ago is definitely inspired by baby metal, but it's different enough to have its own flavor entirely.
The energy in this performance.
I love that perfomance in the begining. So talanted band
I love these guys! Can't believe I'm just now hearing about them. I'd love to see them live in person!! Totally BADASS!!!
They are touring in Australia this month
In Japan in August
In the US and Canada in August, September and October
And Europe in November and December 2023
This is the best way to introduce my toddler to the metal world 😊
Wow these musicians definitely know their instruments!!! So nice to see real musicians still making it!!!
私はインドネシア出身で、とても良い新しいジャンルの音楽の 1 つで、可愛くてとても美しい子供たちによって歌われ、世界にとても好かれています。👍🤘❤❤❤
Yeah, it was great to see the musicians get a moment to shine!
I saw them at the first Chicago Open Air Festival in 2016 and they were FANTASTIC. I still follow them and I just love their stuff.
This video started my acquaintance with BABYMETAL... I don’t regret anything. this is the best metal band in the world. Kitsune up🤘🦊
Do I understand a single word no do I still love every minute of this band yes will I learn Japanese for this band probably
I really like the energy of the band.
In the intro the first guitarist is like: "Hey, check this out. Sounds good, right?" All I can say is: Yes!
And in the finale, the band is lik: "Let's shred one more time!"
Миллион лайков поставила за эту песню! Остановите меня, я слушаю каждый день!)
Being a Metalhead for so long, this is my new band. True Metal!
Can't think of anything but FANTASTIC....
One of Babymetal best songs 🙂😈🎸
RIP Ko-Kami; we miss all our friends that left us for now
