You should invite Chris again when you watch a live video. As a musician, I would say it's guaranteed that he will be blown away. Headbanger is a great song to watch live, and I think you'll understand why we love the live versions so much. Especially for a musician, "Road of Resistance" is a great watch, but it gets blocked a lot. Another great one to get a good look at the band is "Rondo of Nightmare" with the "Mischief of the Metal Gods" intro.
If you guys want to see the band perform you can check 1. BabyMetal - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) 2. BabyMetal - Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse Their live is very different from MV. Thanks for your great reaction.♥️🦊
I would add Rondo of Nightmare live at Budokan Black Night to that list, since they seem to like doing three songs per video. I would also like to add a strong recommendation to watch these specific performances, because A) there are lots of other live ones that will get blocked and B) there are a lot of compilation videos of dubious quality floating around out there. Hopefully they read their comments
Great reaction(s) again. We told you all about 'Iine' (that is iine pronounced ee-neh) last time, so I won't repeat that. 'Headbanger' is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but there is more to it than that. 15 is when compulsory education ends in japan, so she is also coming to terms with the fact life will change for her now. She will no longer be considered as a child and those first 15 years have passed by so quickly, so she is etching this special night into her heart so she will never forget. Su-metal was still only 14 when it was recorded (Yui and Moa were 12) so it is not biographical, but they could relate since they were already starting to play metal concerts. The neck brace is a tribute to classic Japanese metal band X Japan's drummer, pianist and main composer Yoshiki who damaged his neck so badly head banging that he needed surgery and had to wear a neck brace most of the time. The girls were so impressed with the guy who came in for the video to do the helicopter headbanging that they called him "Hedoban Kami" (god of headbanging). Live 'Headbanger' is so much better ... I was so happy they had it on the set list for the 2020 UK and Europe tour so I could experience it for myself.
The best Metal songs ever about a) tropical fruit, b) saying "That's Nice" in Japanese (iine, not Line) and c) the story of a girl attending her first Metal gig. Because it can't always just be about Satan.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 👍 / 🤘 / 🌶 🌞 'iine!' is the probably the ultimate, "Do you like music genres? We smooshed them all into this one song for you." Probably my favorite EDM Dance Rave HipHop Kawaii Metal song of all time. : ) It's too bad they haven't performed this song since they toured the Southern USA with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in April of 2017. 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' was one of the earliest hits. Even though the song is about a fifteen year old girl attending her first heavy concert, Su was only fourteen when the single and video were released. At that age she was on stage, rather than taking the train to see concerts like the girl in the song. : ) 'PA PA YA!!' is a Summer festival party song. Matsuri Da! (It's a festival!) I wasn't aware of him before this collaboration, but F.HERO is a well known rapper in Thailand. Somtam, or "papaya pok pok" is a spicy Thai papaya salad that's mentioned in F.HERO's rap section. Crushing the sweet and spicy together in the mortar to release their flavor is used as a metaphor for life. It's spicy and sweet, but you have to pound everything together in a mortar to bring out the flavor. BABYMETAL's producer Koba went to Thailand to record his vocal tracks for 'PA PA YA!!'. F.HERO suggested adding accents in Morlum, the Thai folk song genre, and Koba liked the idea. They got a Thai producer named Thitiwat Rongthong to help with the traditional instruments. - It's great to see you continuing with BABYMETAL songs. Maybe three live songs next time? : )
I will split my comment - so this one is for 'PA PA YA'. As this was the official video it had the studio audio, but there is a video of this performance with the live audio (it is even better), so part of what you missed here was Su-metal calling out to welcome F Hero to the stage. This was filmed in Yokohama on the Saturday ... the video was produced and released within 2 days on the Monday after ... in the meantime BABYMETAL had flown to the UK overnight and were on stage at Glastonbury at Sunday lunchtime and playing in Brixton, London on the Tuesday before heading back to Japan. 'PA PA YA' is a summer festival song - about a spicy green papaya fruit salad. F Hero is a rapper from Thailand and was rapping in Thai to the same rhythm as mixing the ingredients for the salad with a mortar and pestle. They are pretty much saying that, much like the salad, mixing the right spices into life will make that better too. This was filmed on the second night at the start of their 2019 tour. F Hero flew in to Japan specially for the first two shows to perform with BABYMETAL in person. The instrument you heard in his second verse was a traditional Thai instrument that he suggested to be added. The third girl in this video was one of three dancers brought in to take turns filling the third spot in the choreo after Yui left the band in October 2018. This was Kano's very first show with BABYMETAL - she was still only 14 years old. If you see BABYMETAL live remember to take a towel (or buy one from the merch stand) to swing around your head for this song. Seeing everybody doing that makes Su and Moa happy ... and we all want them to be happy all the time. 🦊 The Kami Band are the instrumentalists for all live shows since early 2014. You will not see or hear them in any official videos (you will see them if it was recorded at a live show, you won't hear them) as they do not do the studio recordings. Originally they would wear white burial robes and corpse face paint. At the end of 2017 the robes were changed for black ones and in 2019 they started to wear the masks you saw - nobody likes the masks. Looking forward to whatever you watch next time.
Babymetal started as a part of Sakura gakuin which is a idol group for the Amuse talent agency. It was a school for girls up to 15 years old and was limited to 12 members. They focused on acting, singing, song writing,... to prepare the girls for a career in the arts. Many of the graduates have become profesional actors, radio djs, etc... they would form sub units of 3 with varying themes like cooking club(where they'd sing about food), tennis club and metal club which later became babymetal. So the early songs were written by its founder Koba metal while now they hire a variety of top songwriters and producers. Which is why there's such a difference. They had a very small budget to start and now it's practically unlimited.
If you're going to react to Babymetal then you should react to the live videos of their music,it's where this band thrives and shines. FYI, they just announced they're going to release a new song a month until March when they release a new album. Also they're going to play two concerts in Japan at the end of January
Babymetal is a group under the Entertainment Company of "Amuse Entertainment, Inc.". Currently, Babymetal are on their own Lable of "Babymetal Records".....they were formerly under the "Toy Factory" Label of "BMD Fox Records" ('Babymetal Death' - Fox Records*?) and "Sony Music Babymetal" (world wide)....think I remember that correctly..LoL!! Its been a minute! Someone will correct me if I'm wrong..LoL! Thanks for the reaction and as always.... Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Lately Amuse made new company called Kulture, Kobametal was the CEO, I think this new company only focused for managing, distributing, selling all the new things/merch from The Other One album/realm.
Great reaction! You need to check out some of their live shows too like Rondo of Nightmare live in Budokan and Road of Resistance Live in Japan (Official) 🙂
Original line up was Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Yui-Metal. Yui left the band due to health issues in 2018. New line up is Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Momo-Metal
I don't think that I can help with the copyright advice for the videos not to get blocked, but I think another person in the comments kindly shared some ways to avoid it (like watermarks or maybe even making the videos you're watching a bit transparent, etc). I really hope you can enjoy BABYMETAL videos despite this... Hope that you can find the solution! Take care ^^
Great reactions - and great enthusiasm. The first song is NOT called 'Line - it is called 'Iine' (i - i - n - e.) Their new album is due out in March 2023 (I have already heard a promo.) Oh, by the way, 'Metal Mondays' does not require an apostrophe.
YEY! NEW BABYMETAL REACTION! THANK YOU! YOU SAW 1ST ALBUM AND 3RD ALBUM. DON'T FORGET THE 2ND ALBUM 🥰 REACT TO THE LIVE CONCERT, PLEASE? 💖🦊 IT'S THE COMPLETE BABYMETAL EXPERIENCE. PS. 3RD ALBUM PEAKED AT NO.13 ON THE US BILLBOARD.
Love double shot reactions, triple shots even better BabyMetal only has a handful of music videos and you've done two already Maybe future reactions you do the music video and the live performance Songs like Ijime Dame Zettai, Karate, Distortion (Headbanger and Megitsune) would work this way Headbanger also has a dubstep remix The song Akatsuki has a live version and a unfinished version The song Gimme Chocolate can be done with the Kami band and without(They performed Gimme Chocolate on the Stephen Collbert show live with the Kami band) I hope you continue the triple or double shot reactions
Good reaction. Its nice to hear your opinion of production artistry of a music production. If you want to see scale of Babymetal you can watch compilation video of Headbanger posted by kurokiitsunesama. Thats compilation video of arena sized show of babymetal (year 2013-2020). Sound from 2017 show. Production is vastly better in the later year especially for old song. For fun and catchy song you can check Give me chocolate Catch me if you can Karate Da Da Dance Oh Majinai If you want more serious and technical you can check Amore Akatsuki Rondo of nightmare Syncopation Yava
Here's my recommendations for lives. These links are safe and HQ: BABYMETAL | Catch Me If You Can (w Kami Band Intro) | LIVE Budokan 2014 ruclips.net/video/YiAJeKgufMk/видео.html BABYMETAL - Akatsuki - Live @ Budokan BLACK NIGHT 4K ruclips.net/video/6tyO-Eawkk0/видео.html BABYMETAL - Onedari Daisakusen - Live @ Budokan BLACK NIGHT 4K ruclips.net/video/Btc1kKMTpfs/видео.html Each will separately illustrate three different aspects of the BABYMETAL live performance which I'll let you discover. Yes, all of these are from the same concert from 2014. No need for watermarks for these. Hope you invite Chris back for these as well!
Hi Lexxy and Chris! Sorry to hear you video got blocked, but kudos for winning the dispute (I assume since the low viewcount and it's been almost a day uploaded). Usually these three songs are relatively safe from blocks so I'm surprised to hear about this. Could you let us know which song(s) caused the block? I'm guessing maybe it was because it was three songs together in one video that might have triggered it. Well if you get blocked again maybe you'll need to separate out reaction videos for each song (but still record them in the same session if that's easier). BABYMETAL videos can be a bit of a minefield because certain videos will get blocked guaranteed. Luckily though, we generally know which ones are safe and also ones that are safe with an overlay (watermark). For example, the Megitsune MV tends to get blocked often so I'm a bit surprised your other video wasn't the one that got the block. If that does get hit sometime in the future (yes this happens), just slap a watermark over the Megitsune section and re-upload with a note saying it's a re-upload due to block and we'll totally watch it again, lol. For now, I've suggested three live performances (in a separate reply) that are safe from blocks, without need for any modification. I'll explain the watermark thing in your next BABYMETAL video as to not overwhelm you with info! Any questions please let me know and I'll try my best to answer.
I'm so excited to see you watch their live performances.. cause if you think that this sounds great, you will be blown away by their live sound 😉 A few of my suggestions: For festival - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) For band's ability/talent - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) | LIVE at Budokan Black Night (HQ) For Su's solo - AKATSUKI「紅月アカツキ」BLACK NIGHT HD1080p Just for epicness (I guess) - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)
Great reaction and glad you brought in a new "victim". Babymetal has been with the same production since their debut in 2010. Amuse is the company name. They are releasing their 4th album March 24, 2023 and most likely break records. I agree with the majority of responses saying their live is the best. And Su, the main singer does not lip-sync. They had ceased activity for a year due to COVID, since they thrive on live shows. Their "comeback live" is Jan. 28, 29, 2023 in Japan!
The reason for the masks is, well, consistency. Their band is the Kami-band, basically the Gods of Metal who took over ordinary mortals (there's an interview with their drummer who was asked how long it took him to get into costume and he said "what costume? The Kami just takes me over and that's it"). Originally, the band members wore white robes and facepaint to symbolize this, but as they got bigger after their second album, they, well, expanded the band into an "east" and "west" band (the east being the original band and the west US musicians) and to keep with the whole Kami lore, all of the band members wear the same outfit so that it would be less obvious that there's different musicians.
Another great reaction video! As has been stated previously, live Babymetal is almost always better! I would also suggest that you check out the live version of "Headbanger" together...for comparison. Looking forward to teh next one!
While their MVs are fun to watch, they never quite live up to the ridiculously high standard that their live performances are set at for me. Highly recommend watching some of the live performances. I'm sure there will b many suggestions of which ones to do in the comments.
Which live BabyMetal songs should you react to? All of them. But top of the list would be Road Of Resistance live from Japan and Ijime, Dame, Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. The Sonisphere performance is legendary for BabyMetal and marks their emergence onto the international metal scene.
I've seen several live shows and they do switch out guitars between songs. They also have backups that the stagehands need to run out and bring in case of emergency
Always good to see people reacting to Babymetal for the first time. Also liked: - Nerdy producer man explains how valve amps work (poorly) - Host lady looks perplexed and say "Interesting" (first time of several utterances)
Great Reaction! I love his attitude about metal being catchy. I am also amazed at his ear for sound production. He is a professional. Please do a reaction to BABYMETAL's live video!
Almost all Babymetal songs are not what we expect. They kick ass and make everyone smile like silly. Yet the lyrics are profound or even cryptic AF. And their live performances are mindblowing theatric productions. They are just their own thing. Labels don't apply to Babymetal.
You just started your Babymetal discovery, there is still a lot so I would definately recommend to stick with them! That being said, some other amazing and interesting japanese bands are: Lovebites, Hanabie, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Ladybaby, Unlucky Morpheus, Broken by the Scream, Passcode, Trident, Miscast, Greed Five Egg's, Aldious, Mary's Blood, Wagakki Band, Sokoninaru, Doll£Boxx, Kari Band, CHAI... (feel free to add more ;)
Old Skool piano is from Mozart era ir earlier.. called Harpsichord. In this case it's simulated but still sounds awesome. For some insanity driven reason i'm having flashbacks of Lurch the groaning butler, from the Addams Family tv series "playing" the Harpsichord! 😁
Theres a babymetal playlist on my channel you should check out if you're new to them.. all live. New album coming out in Jan that seems like it's going to be a banger.
Try watching the clips live, Babymetal is known to be one of the most competent bands live, "iine" is one of the oldest songs from when Su was 13 and Moa and Yui had 11 years, they were really kids when they started and nowadays they are me is 24 years old and yui and moa are 23 years old, many things have changed from 2010 to today, they started with the fear of being made fun of and they rocked their first festival which was Sonisphere in 2014 they were scared to death since at the festival in front of 50 thousand people. After that came the second studio cd which was well received, also came a collaboration with Rob Halford in a presentation, they gained respect from legendary bands, soon came the death of one of guitarists and also the departure of one of the dancers who was also backing vocalist due to illness, soon after the third studio cd and soon after the sealing of them after 10 years of work, They announced on 10/10/2022 the dates of their comeback in 2023 and also the release of the fourth cd next year! The Ones who are Babymetal fans can't stand the anticipation, I hope you Try to react more using live music.
They are with a different record label. When iine (not Line) was recorded, Babymetal was still a sub-group of Sakura Gakuin, and the song was released to promote the Sakura Gakuin album. Later Babymetal would break off into their own act. Sakura Gakuin recorded under Universal Music Japan, Babymetal broke off in 2013 and recorded with Toy's Factory and Juonbu records, before founding their own label, BMC Fox Records
You and Chris should react to "Road of Resistance Live in Japan". Their epic masterpiece of a live performance. When Metallica saw them live they said they were astonished by their awesomeness.
You should watch either “catch me if you can” or “rondo of nightmare” live versions. Both of these feature an intro from their band (the kami band) with Rondo being a Su-Metal solo and starts with the Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro. The Kami band are phenomenal musicians in their own right. There are fans who could tell you a lot more than me.
Iine was only their 2nd song ever, and that was before their first album was even in production. Not to mention, that was still back when they were still so small that they didn't even have a backing band yet.
Holy crap y’all were there when the Mrs and I was there haha. Same trip. Universal and Disney. First potter world trip for my lovely wife and potter head
Great triple reaction, thanks! Well, it's all been said but what you need to know is that you barely scratched the surface. And, as I always say: expect the unexpected and prepare to be surprised. Also I'd like to suggest you some of their best live performances: - "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014. - "Headbanger" Live at Legend 1997. - "Road of Resistance" Live in Japan. See you next time!
Yeah you definitely need to check out some live videos. Rondo of Nightmare (w Mischief of Gods Intro) is the obvious choice here to see more of the backing band as well. Road of Resistance is a great song they did in collaboration with Dragonforce and the official video is live. Catch me if you can or even just Headbanger again are also great choices. Or if you wanna have some real shock value and confusion do "DEATH LEGEND 1997"
I love seeing the reaction of new people! Amuse Inc is a talent agency and their record company I believe is Tower Records. I think maybe Sony is involved too.
They just released 3 new singles Devine Attack-Shingeki which Su-Metal has writing credits on this time. Monochrome which has an interesting backstory. Involving Su-Metal growing up in Hiroshima. However, in the context of Monochrome here. It is directly about a dimension in ruins. They will have visited in their travels. Within the context of their concept album. They directly refer to Ragnarok here, which is the destruction of the world in Norse Mythology. _______________________________________________ Which within their lyrics & imagery invokes the destruction of the Atomic Bombs!! Ultimately, the message of roughly translated is to keep up your spirits when things go wrong in your life. Then the latest being Metal Kingdom which is the title track to their upcoming 4th concept album. Which was released just a few days ago. They also have done some pretty crazy collaborationss as well here. Arch Ememy Allisa White-Gluz with "Distortion" is insane!! Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer is pretty much a masterpiece!! It's also one of Moa's favorite bands as an interesting tidbit. 🤔 ____________________________________________ Then Road To Resistance was a collaboration with DragonForce & battle anthem basically. In closing, two of my favorite live performances were "The One" perfomed at the Tokyo Dome. Along with Rondo Of Nightmare Mischiefs Of Metal Gods at Budokan Live Intro. I believe it was their Black Night performance if my memory serves me correctly. Su-Metal was only 16 in that performance & already so good. The new album drops on March 24th. Tour with Sabaton & Lordi picks up in April. Anyways, great reaction here as always!! 🤘 🦊💕
Babymetal uses some backing tracks (like the growls), but they are not auto-tuned for the vocals in general. The girls are amazingly talented. Su-Metal is the lead vocalist, while Moa-Metal and formerly Yui-Metal were the backing vocalists and dancers (Yui left and now they have Momo-Metal).
It's iine not line (EE-Nay) . means good, like or nice. the like button on some Japanese websites is iine :) (So good. So good.)Yeah, yeah! = (Iine! Iine!) Yeah, yeah!.
Much Love from Germany ❣️ 🇩🇪 ❣️ A few days before a brand new album from Babymetal came out!!! Sorry, my english is not very good but I try my very best ❣️❣️❣️
23:17 I believe that sound belongs to some Thailand's traditional Lute & the rapper F.Hero is from Thailand...this 'Pa Pa Pa Ya' song got Thailand theme in it, if I not mistaken..the song is about Som Tum, Thailand Spicy Papaya Salad...I'm Malaysian InSomnia btw...JiU of DreamCatcher also a fan of BabyMetal...:P
Corey Taylor/Slipknot are big fans of BABYMETAL, as are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallic, Bring Me The Horizon, & many others. Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #fusionmetal
I remember my Thai friends that are fans of BABYMETAL go absolute ape sh*t when this came out. Especially since F. Hero is one of the, if not THE best rappers in Thailand.

Rondo of Nightmare ;)

please do repeat how to pronounce the title of Iine. A lot. Hearing her say "line" is really jarring.

@@sirmoonslosthismind actually I think the stage production at Wembley Arena was better. More elements. Maybe even more interesting use of pyro too.
That was a great and interesting reaction! I'm really looking forward to your next BM videos 🙂
Original line up was Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Yui-Metal. Yui left the band due to health issues in 2018. New line up is Su-Metal, Moa-Metal, & Momo-Metal
It was fun to see the guy's reaction😄
I guess Baby Metal would be something like JPop JMetal. Amazing band. Thanks for the react
you should review the later version of headbanger as they change their presentation and they're a few years older and it shows.
Thank you for the video and reaction!! I really recommend 'Road of Resistance' and 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' for LIVE videos reaction 😊
I don't think that I can help with the copyright advice for the videos not to get blocked, but I think another person in the comments kindly shared some ways to avoid it (like watermarks or maybe even making the videos you're watching a bit transparent, etc). I really hope you can enjoy BABYMETAL videos despite this... Hope that you can find the solution! Take care ^^
Great reactions - and great enthusiasm. The first song is NOT called 'Line - it is called 'Iine' (i - i - n - e.) Their new album is due out in March 2023 (I have already heard a promo.) Oh, by the way, 'Metal Mondays' does not require an apostrophe.
YEY! NEW BABYMETAL REACTION! THANK YOU!
YOU SAW 1ST ALBUM AND 3RD ALBUM.
DON'T FORGET THE 2ND ALBUM 🥰
REACT TO THE LIVE CONCERT, PLEASE? 💖🦊
IT'S THE COMPLETE BABYMETAL EXPERIENCE.
PS. 3RD ALBUM PEAKED AT NO.13 ON THE US BILLBOARD.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
You should check the live versions of the songs you just did, you will see a huge difference.
Love double shot reactions, triple shots even better BabyMetal only has a handful of music videos and you've done two already Maybe future reactions you do the music video and the live performance Songs like Ijime Dame Zettai, Karate, Distortion (Headbanger and Megitsune) would work this way Headbanger also has a dubstep remix The song Akatsuki has a live version and a unfinished version The song Gimme Chocolate can be done with the Kami band and without(They performed Gimme Chocolate on the Stephen Collbert show live with the Kami band) I hope you continue the triple or double shot reactions
Good reaction. Its nice to hear your opinion of production artistry of a music production.
If you want to see scale of Babymetal you can watch compilation video of Headbanger posted by kurokiitsunesama. Thats compilation video of arena sized show of babymetal (year 2013-2020). Sound from 2017 show.
Production is vastly better in the later year especially for old song. For fun and catchy song you can check
Give me chocolate
Catch me if you can
Karate
Da Da Dance
Oh Majinai
If you want more serious and technical you can check
Amore
Akatsuki
Rondo of nightmare
Syncopation
Yava
Sorry this is late, the video got blocked 🥲😭
Here's my recommendations for lives. These links are safe and HQ:
BABYMETAL | Catch Me If You Can (w Kami Band Intro) | LIVE Budokan 2014
ruclips.net/video/YiAJeKgufMk/видео.html
BABYMETAL - Akatsuki - Live @ Budokan BLACK NIGHT 4K
ruclips.net/video/6tyO-Eawkk0/видео.html
BABYMETAL - Onedari Daisakusen - Live @ Budokan BLACK NIGHT 4K
ruclips.net/video/Btc1kKMTpfs/видео.html
Each will separately illustrate three different aspects of the BABYMETAL live performance which I'll let you discover. Yes, all of these are from the same concert from 2014. No need for watermarks for these. Hope you invite Chris back for these as well!
Hi Lexxy and Chris! Sorry to hear you video got blocked, but kudos for winning the dispute (I assume since the low viewcount and it's been almost a day uploaded). Usually these three songs are relatively safe from blocks so I'm surprised to hear about this. Could you let us know which song(s) caused the block?
I'm guessing maybe it was because it was three songs together in one video that might have triggered it. Well if you get blocked again maybe you'll need to separate out reaction videos for each song (but still record them in the same session if that's easier).
BABYMETAL videos can be a bit of a minefield because certain videos will get blocked guaranteed. Luckily though, we generally know which ones are safe and also ones that are safe with an overlay (watermark). For example, the Megitsune MV tends to get blocked often so I'm a bit surprised your other video wasn't the one that got the block. If that does get hit sometime in the future (yes this happens), just slap a watermark over the Megitsune section and re-upload with a note saying it's a re-upload due to block and we'll totally watch it again, lol.
For now, I've suggested three live performances (in a separate reply) that are safe from blocks, without need for any modification. I'll explain the watermark thing in your next BABYMETAL video as to not overwhelm you with info! Any questions please let me know and I'll try my best to answer.
Oh i see, now i know why I didn't found this before and just came here by "accident". Nice you got this unblocked.🦊🤘
Babymetals live videos are always better than the recordings
PA PA YA video was done in 2020 at Budokan.
They just released an announcement that a new album will be released in the spring.
DA DA DANCE is really awesome!!!
You will be blown away by the live versions of any of their songs. The videos don’t come close to how good they are live.
not a kpop / jpop fan but the two of you HAVE to watch their Live performances.
they didnt show the band much here. . but if you do catch me if you can and rondo of nightmare both live, they really display the band big time
I'm so excited to see you watch their live performances.. cause if you think that this sounds great, you will be blown away by their live sound 😉
A few of my suggestions:
For festival - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)
For band's ability/talent - Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) | LIVE at Budokan Black Night (HQ)
For Su's solo - AKATSUKI「紅月アカツキ」BLACK NIGHT HD1080p
Just for epicness (I guess) - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)
Great reaction and glad you brought in a new "victim". Babymetal has been with the same production since their debut in 2010. Amuse is the company name. They are releasing their 4th album March 24, 2023 and most likely break records. I agree with the majority of responses saying their live is the best. And Su, the main singer does not lip-sync. They had ceased activity for a year due to COVID, since they thrive on live shows. Their "comeback live" is Jan. 28, 29, 2023 in Japan!
The reason for the masks is, well, consistency. Their band is the Kami-band, basically the Gods of Metal who took over ordinary mortals (there's an interview with their drummer who was asked how long it took him to get into costume and he said "what costume? The Kami just takes me over and that's it"). Originally, the band members wore white robes and facepaint to symbolize this, but as they got bigger after their second album, they, well, expanded the band into an "east" and "west" band (the east being the original band and the west US musicians) and to keep with the whole Kami lore, all of the band members wear the same outfit so that it would be less obvious that there's different musicians.
Catch Me If You Can is a fun song watched live.
there are alo several 'everything you need to know about babymetal' vids out there you should try one of them
Another great reaction video! As has been stated previously, live Babymetal is almost always better! I would also suggest that you check out the live version of "Headbanger" together...for comparison. Looking forward to teh next one!
Great honest reaction. Love BabyMetal
Baby Metal performances Live are legendary. You have to see the stage presence and the crowd interaction!
While their MVs are fun to watch, they never quite live up to the ridiculously high standard that their live performances are set at for me. Highly recommend watching some of the live performances. I'm sure there will b many suggestions of which ones to do in the comments.
Which live BabyMetal songs should you react to? All of them. But top of the list would be Road Of Resistance live from Japan and Ijime, Dame, Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014. The Sonisphere performance is legendary for BabyMetal and marks their emergence onto the international metal scene.
In that show for Pa Pa ya the stage rolled forward and the band was to the rear on both sides
I've seen several live shows and they do switch out guitars between songs. They also have backups that the stagehands need to run out and bring in case of emergency
Always good to see people reacting to Babymetal for the first time.
Also liked:
- Nerdy producer man explains how valve amps work (poorly)
- Host lady looks perplexed and say "Interesting" (first time of several utterances)
it's not "Line" it's a uppercase i, which is a japanese word "iine" they'r basically singing the word in the song XD
Thanks for the enjoyable video🤘🦊♪
🦊🤘🔥
@@jakemuller8626 😁🤘💙
👍👍 baby metal/ kagerou /arkadia /yava!/👍
I didn’t even know there was a music video for Headbanger. I’ve always seen the live version
Great Reaction! I love his attitude about metal being catchy. I am also amazed at his ear for sound production. He is a professional. Please do a reaction to BABYMETAL's live video!
more babymetal reacts please 🥺
Almost all Babymetal songs are not what we expect. They kick ass and make everyone smile like silly. Yet the lyrics are profound or even cryptic AF. And their live performances are mindblowing theatric productions. They are just their own thing. Labels don't apply to Babymetal.
You just started your Babymetal discovery, there is still a lot so I would definately recommend to stick with them!
That being said, some other amazing and interesting japanese bands are: Lovebites, Hanabie, Band-Maid, Nemophila, Ladybaby, Unlucky Morpheus, Broken by the Scream, Passcode, Trident, Miscast, Greed Five Egg's, Aldious, Mary's Blood, Wagakki Band, Sokoninaru, Doll£Boxx, Kari Band, CHAI... (feel free to add more ;)
I saw the babymetal video to. They have dominated spectacular perfectly performance skills.
Watching a BabyMetal MV instead of LIVE is like having a red Ferrari but only driving it in first gear.
You guys definitely know how to take the fun out of entertainment. Shheeesshhh .
Old Skool piano is from Mozart era ir earlier.. called Harpsichord. In this case it's simulated but still sounds awesome. For some insanity driven reason i'm having flashbacks of Lurch the groaning butler, from the Addams Family tv series "playing" the Harpsichord! 😁
no 'Line!' . iine! (IINE!) いいね （👍🏼Thumbs-up、nice）。楽しんでいただけて嬉しいです♪
Iine is their 2nd song. They did not have musicians back then. Of course the instruments in the MV are electronic.
Babymetal touring the U.S.. Here in Oklahoma City, November 25th. Hope ya got your Tickets.❤🎉
Pa Pa Ya is my favourite song from BabyMetal.
It is also a pick me up song for me to brigthen up my mood on a bad day.
Theres a babymetal playlist on my channel you should check out if you're new to them.. all live. New album coming out in Jan that seems like it's going to be a banger.
Try watching the clips live, Babymetal is known to be one of the most competent bands live, "iine" is one of the oldest songs from when Su was 13 and Moa and Yui had 11 years, they were really kids when they started and nowadays they are me is 24 years old and yui and moa are 23 years old, many things have changed from 2010 to today, they started with the fear of being made fun of and they rocked their first festival which was Sonisphere in 2014 they were scared to death since at the festival in front of 50 thousand people.
After that came the second studio cd which was well received, also came a collaboration with Rob Halford in a presentation, they gained respect from legendary bands, soon came the death of one of guitarists and also the departure of one of the dancers who was also backing vocalist due to illness, soon after the third studio cd and soon after the sealing of them after 10 years of work, They announced on 10/10/2022 the dates of their comeback in 2023 and also the release of the fourth cd next year! The Ones who are Babymetal fans can't stand the anticipation, I hope you Try to react more using live music.
Nice timing to find babymetal!! they are back and hold a new show next year!! Divine Attack will be used in Attack of taitan the final.
Age plays a part here. For Pa Pa Ya the lead singer is now in her 20's. Yes, her vocal range is lovely.
They are with a different record label. When iine (not Line) was recorded, Babymetal was still a sub-group of Sakura Gakuin, and the song was released to promote the Sakura Gakuin album. Later Babymetal would break off into their own act. Sakura Gakuin recorded under Universal Music Japan, Babymetal broke off in 2013 and recorded with Toy's Factory and Juonbu records, before founding their own label, BMC Fox Records
you shud invite chris and watch live performance by babymetal
F.HERO was in a collab with Changbin (Stray Kids), the song is called Mirror Mirror if you haven't heard it and want to check it out ^^
Aya Kamiki is really Awesome, also.
Well you can find an other coop from F.Hero. He has a song with Changbin of Stray Kids an Milli. The Name of this song is MIRROR MIRROR.
The band is the Kami Band. there are a lot of videos with live performances and intros with the band performing. you will get to those.
Line is my favorite BabyMetal song, but I DEF love the metal too
Biggest flex is that I saw them live in 2020
Great reaction love the 3 reactions and your excitement and take on them . Can not wait to see next ones bring Chris 😁
🤘🦊🤘
The live shows are next level
You and Chris should react to "Road of Resistance Live in Japan". Their epic masterpiece of a live performance. When Metallica saw them live they said they were astonished by their awesomeness.
You should watch either “catch me if you can” or “rondo of nightmare” live versions. Both of these feature an intro from their band (the kami band) with Rondo being a Su-Metal solo and starts with the Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro. The Kami band are phenomenal musicians in their own right. There are fans who could tell you a lot more than me.
Iine was only their 2nd song ever, and that was before their first album was even in production. Not to mention, that was still back when they were still so small that they didn't even have a backing band yet.
Holy crap y’all were there when the Mrs and I was there haha. Same trip. Universal and Disney. First potter world trip for my lovely wife and potter head
Great triple reaction, thanks!
Well, it's all been said but what you need to know is that you barely scratched the surface. And, as I always say: expect the unexpected and prepare to be surprised.
Also I'd like to suggest you some of their best live performances:
- "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014.
- "Headbanger" Live at Legend 1997.
- "Road of Resistance" Live in Japan.
See you next time!
Yeah you definitely need to check out some live videos.
Rondo of Nightmare (w Mischief of Gods Intro) is the obvious choice here to see more of the backing band as well.
Road of Resistance is a great song they did in collaboration with Dragonforce and the official video is live.
Catch me if you can or even just Headbanger again are also great choices.
Or if you wanna have some real shock value and confusion do "DEATH LEGEND 1997"
I love seeing the reaction of new people! Amuse Inc is a talent agency and their record company I believe is Tower Records. I think maybe Sony is involved too.
If you haven't heard their song "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro" then you just don't know yet
instrument play while rapping is Thailand traditional intrument called PHIN, they use Thai instrument coz F Hero is Thai rapper
They just released 3 new singles Devine Attack-Shingeki which Su-Metal has writing credits on this time. Monochrome which has an interesting backstory. Involving Su-Metal growing up in Hiroshima. However, in the context of Monochrome here.
It is directly about a dimension in ruins. They will have visited in their travels. Within the context of their concept album. They directly refer to Ragnarok here, which is the destruction of the world in Norse Mythology.
_______________________________________________
Which within their lyrics & imagery invokes the destruction of the Atomic Bombs!! Ultimately, the message of roughly translated is to keep up your spirits when things go wrong in your life.
Then the latest being Metal Kingdom which is the title track to their upcoming 4th concept album. Which was released just a few days ago. They also have done some pretty crazy collaborationss as well here.
Arch Ememy Allisa White-Gluz with "Distortion" is insane!! Bring Me The Horizon with Kingslayer is pretty much a masterpiece!! It's also one of Moa's favorite bands as an interesting tidbit. 🤔
____________________________________________
Then Road To Resistance was a collaboration with DragonForce & battle anthem basically. In closing, two of my favorite live performances were "The One" perfomed at the Tokyo Dome.
Along with Rondo Of Nightmare Mischiefs Of Metal Gods at Budokan Live Intro. I believe it was their Black Night performance if my memory serves me correctly.
Su-Metal was only 16 in that performance & already so good. The new album drops on March 24th. Tour with Sabaton & Lordi picks up in April. Anyways, great reaction here as always!! 🤘 🦊💕
Babymetal uses some backing tracks (like the growls), but they are not auto-tuned for the vocals in general. The girls are amazingly talented. Su-Metal is the lead vocalist, while Moa-Metal and formerly Yui-Metal were the backing vocalists and dancers (Yui left and now they have Momo-Metal).
I absolutely love their performance of Karate in Budokan.
I loved this reaction! Very fun! Please more and more Babymetal! 🎸🎸🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's iine not line (EE-Nay) . means good, like or nice. the like button on some Japanese websites is iine :)
(So good. So good.)Yeah, yeah! = (Iine! Iine!) Yeah, yeah!.
They use local bands, often. For a USA tour they used Sabaton.
23:18 surprisingly, this is actually a traditional Thai string instrument very similar to a guitar.
Please react to Nemophila (Seize the Fate) and Band-Maid (Real Existence - Official Live Video). Amazing japanese bands!
Much Love from Germany ❣️ 🇩🇪 ❣️
A few days before a brand new album from Babymetal came out!!!
Sorry, my english is not very good but I try my very best ❣️❣️❣️
Welcome to the foxhole! 🤘🏾🦊🤘🏾
23:17 I believe that sound belongs to some Thailand's traditional Lute & the rapper F.Hero is from Thailand...this 'Pa Pa Pa Ya' song got Thailand theme in it, if I not mistaken..the song is about Som Tum, Thailand Spicy Papaya Salad...I'm Malaysian InSomnia btw...JiU of DreamCatcher also a fan of BabyMetal...:P
Enjoyed your laughter, why not check out the songs you heard. Stay metal and stay Babymetal.
F
Dir En Grey is an awesome Japanese band.
If you haven't already you should watch the live 'gimme chocolate' performance
Corey Taylor/Slipknot are big fans of BABYMETAL, as are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallic, Bring Me The Horizon, & many others.
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult #kawaiimetal #fusionmetal
I remember my Thai friends that are fans of BABYMETAL go absolute ape sh*t when this came out. Especially since F. Hero is one of the, if not THE best rappers in Thailand.
