Great reaction. 'Metal Kingdom' is the opening track on the album - so of course they used it for the epic theatrical opening number at their concerts two weeks ago - their first live shows in nearly 2 years. This was the live performance but with the studio audio - the video was released less than a week after the concerts they filmed it at, so it is understandable why it has the studio audio. We will have to wait for the DVD for the live audio. The way the stage was set up - there was an east stage where the Kami Band were and a west stage where Su started here sitting on her throne (there were 3 thrones). Joining the east and west stages was that huge walkway with the audience either side ... two front rows and both of them really long - so many people could benefit ... and on that was the moving stage which travelled along the walkway and also rose up and down. I understand Su, Moa and Momoko spent most of their time on the moving stage.

Thank you for watching! Yeah, I have to admit that the live production (stage, lights etc.) was really on point here! Of course, it would be interesting to hear the live audio too
Metal Kingdom is both the show opener for the live concerts, and the first track of the album, so its serves as a mood setter for everything that follows. I was lucky enough to be at the performance where the video was shot and it was absolutely breathtaking to see them perform it live.

Oh, I can only imagine how epic show opener for the live performance this was!
Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐 Thanks for sharing your breakdown and coming back with another BM single and first official MV of this year. This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch worldwide. Many others are finding Game Of Thrones resemblance on this stage setup, it looks insane. The ten prophets are holding crosiers with "The Other One" logo which is similar to the infinite symbol OO and is the title of upcoming 4th album. The girls are carrying some kind of trident similar to the Spear Of Destiny, if you know MoaMetal you know you got be careful with her. 🔱 Here's some official info about this song: METAL KINGDOM (THRONE) _It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning._ At the end of January at Makuhari Messe they held two great live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they meet up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production. SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. The cinematic drone shots are just insane. We were expecting this live proshot version but we'll have to wait next month for live sound. We got so many big news and announcements, a new official member is coming (most likely Momoko Okazaki, the one who has been performing with them all these years and latest live concerts) next live shows in April 1 (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama. Also they performed with a new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, so we're guessing maybe some of the older kawaii metal songs they don't play anymore will be back with this new unit, so stay tuned for more but like always OTFGK. There was some minor issues when SuMetal was singing this live a little bit off, apparently an IEM issue or something but is all good coz we all know it's been a while since performing live and is the premiere of this song, pretty sure next live shows will be better. You can find the official lyrics pinned in the comments but here's the lyrics translated for you in my next reply. Thanks for sharing this and see you next time!🦊🤘👑
*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics: LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal [Verse 1: Sumetal] We’re going through the passing times This world is crumbling We live while wandering A heart lost in darkness Hold me tight until dawn In that bright place Aim for tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your hands to the lord Raise your voice to the world Raise your flag. Let’s be together... [Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey. Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Raise the signal, go on without hesitation Trust your friend [Bridge: Sumetal] Negative words I don’t need a way back In that bright place Let’s live tomorrow [Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal] Raise your head to the lord.

[Chorus: Sumetal] Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM Prove it Burn your life Believe in miracles [Verse 2: Sumetal] It’s the beginning song Deliver our voice Resonate, our voices Open up a new era Let it ring, it’s our voice Play it, our singing voice [Chorus: Sumetal] The sword of pledge Raise it up for tomorrow The unknown path Create it with those hands Stand up KINGDOM Unleash your FREEDOM Endless journey Endless dream Wake up KINGDOM Get it, FREEDOM It’s dawn, bathing in the light Cut through the darkness
This video is from a live concert that took place last month. Although not shown in the video, all the usual band members were playing heavily. This song was played at the beginning of the gig. We all sang it loudly 😁It was so much fun. Of course the other songs were great too. SU and MOA will welcome another member at the live in Yokohama on April 1 and 2. After that, they are scheduled to tour Europe and England with SABATON from the end of April.
The most interesting facts regarding Babymetal is they were an accident!! Key Kobayashi aka Kobametal wanted to try merging Jpop with Metal. He was a huge fan of X Japan and Luna Sea. He found Suzuka Nanamoto in the Jpop trio Karen's Girls which was due to disband. He got her in Sakura Gakuin with Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi for "Dance and Scream" (their words). There was no thoughts at the "Heavy Metal Club" would last longer than the girls time at Sukura Gakuin. In the beginning they got no support from Asume and for their first video they scrambled to have matching costumes and the support dancers were taught the dancing by Yui and Moa who were 11 yo. Babymetal WORKED beyond anything they could have imagined. Just an idea with 3 girls who are hugely talented with an unmatched charisma. Been of "The One" since 2017. Now we are ready for a new era of Babymetal with 2 talented beautiful women!!! Have you found any Metal Music musicians in Denmark for a band??

Oh, that's a really interesting info about the band!
Great reaction, thanks! I totally agree, simple things put in the proper way can be really amazing. And this is the new album and show opener theme and it's specially tailored to set the base line of the rest of the album (and the live show). With BABYMETAL context is everything. I also love the song by itself as a declared addict to Su-metal singing voice. And that final verse is pure gold.

Thank you very much for watching this video! I really appreciate it!
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。You are lucky because you can see BABYMETAL at Helsingin jäähalli (May 19) or Kuopio-Halli (May 20). They will join Sabaton's Europe tour as a guest. This video is from Makuhari shows on Jan.28 /29. I witnessed both shows at the venue. You saw one octagonal movable / elevatable stage but actually there were two identical stages for more surprising production. Several drones with camera were flying around all over the venue. Once this opening song by Su and Moa got started, I had goosebumps all over my body. The show was held after the almost 2-year long hiatus after all. Seriously many of audience were moved to tears and/or dropped their jaws when the gigantic fox wall opened and the thrones came out. Yeah! I chanted all through the song. ♪ Oh oh oh o o o ♪. What a happy experience!! The Kami band was playing on the east stage that was not captured in this video. After this grave opening, 3 girls performed 12 songs with Momoko Avenger. Did you see 3 (not 2) thrones at 02:46 in your video? Yeah, BM will change. The official 3rd girl is going to be unveiled in the next shows in Yokohama on April 1/2. Yes, at last ✌ So you will see the new trio in your country in May.
I want to back so much! I wish I could be at Yokohama, but have to support Nemophila in March and Band-Maid again in May. I can’t wait for a Babymetal to come back to the US and hope Lovebites does this same year. It’s going to be a very busy, but most enjoyable time. Welcome, or welcome back to Texas!
@@michelm.6033 JG. Just so you know, I got tickets to the two-day shows in Yokohama. There was a severe competition in the ticket lottery, but I could get two places in Super Mosh'sh standing zone. I mean I can run in a circle pit again.😄
@@flugelhornoldman1362 How do you do it? You are a very lucky man. I’m also a fan of Jazz. Have you watched Tamu’s recent uploads on her channel? It is great Jazz fusion.

Oh, that's really interesting! I'm currently located in Denmark and I think they're also playing in Copenhagen April 30th.
Some reactors get quite animated, vocally excited and emotional. You seem like a more laid back guy BUT in my eyes your body language showed that your senses were working overtime. Once you pronounced the song to be epic I knew you were well and truly hooked 😂. A different kind of reaction from most and I really enjoyed the journey. Definite 👍🏻 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Some Japanese bands, old and new. Take your pick: BAND-MAID [All their songs... really!], LOVEBITES [Break the Wall, Raise some Hell, and all the other songs], MAXIMUM THE HORMONE [Yoshu Fukushu], DEXCORE [Earthworm], CROSSFAITH [Catastrophe], SiM [Killing Me], NINGEN ISU [Heartless Scat], UNLUCKY MORPHEUS [Black Pentagram], YOUSEI TEIKOKU [Astral Dogma, Patriot Anthem (Live)], COLDRAIN [Die Tomorrow], CRYSTAL LAKE [The Circle], GIVEN BY THE FLAMES [Ronove], LONESOME_BLUE [Face the Fear], ANGRY FROG REBIRTH [2Step Syndrome], SILENTLY SHOOTING TRAITORS [Manipulate], ALDIOUS [Dominator], TRiDENT [Ambivalent, Spoopy, ...], BRIDEAR [Light in the Dark], CINQ ELEMENT [Destiny], MARY'S BLOOD [Marionette], GRAUPEL [Bereavement], DOLL$BOXX [Take my Chance], SOKONINARU [Tenohira De Odoru], HELLO SLEEPWALKERS [Flying Saucer], TELECiDE [Tied up Memories], NEKO [Ghost on a Record], MERGINGMOON [Greyen], ROTTENGRAFFTY [Hallelujah], JILUKA [Mephisto], BROKEN BY THE SCREAM [Emotion Cross-Counter], FATE GEAR [Unbreakable Wings], LYNCH [Devil], GACHARIC SPIN [Mindset], DIR EN GREY [Ningen wo Kaburu], X JAPAN [Kurenai], DAZZLE VISION [Second], DEVILOOF [Torture], JUPITER [My Enemy], NOKUTO [Life of Desire], GALNERYUS [Angel of Salvation], SAISEIGA [Ride On], BLOOD STAIN CHILD [Del-Sol], NEMOPHILA [Hypnosis], DADAROMA [Lucid Dream], JILUKA [Lluvia], HANABIE [We Love Sweets], A CROWD OF REBELLION [Re:Create of the Re:d], PALEDUSK [Area PD], POLKADOT STINGRAY [any song], MUTANT MONSTERS [Abnormal], BLACKLAB [Insanity], ASTERISM [Rising Moon, Unravel, or Church], NOISEMAKER [Hunter or Prey], BiSH [The Night When Stars Twinkle], SCANDAL [A.M.D.K.J.], DEEP GIRL [I kill], Mrs. GREEN APPLE [Inferno], BRATS [Doudatte Yokatta], THE ORAL CIGARETTES [Frenzy Hey Kids!!], GIRUGAMESH [Drain], LiLiHoLi [From Darkness to Light], THE DEVIL’S KILLING MERRY-GO-ROUND [Diabolos], and many many more...

*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics:
LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God
ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal
[Verse 1: Sumetal]
We’re going through the passing times
This world is crumbling
We live while wandering
A heart lost in darkness
Hold me tight until dawn
In that bright place
Aim for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your hands to the lord
Raise your voice to the world
Raise your flag. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey. Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Raise the signal, go on without hesitation
Trust your friend
[Bridge: Sumetal]
Negative words
I don’t need a way back
In that bright place
Let’s live tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your head to the lord.
Raise your sword to the sky
Raise your fists. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey
Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Prove it Burn your life
Believe in miracles
[Verse 2: Sumetal]
It’s the beginning song
Deliver our voice
Resonate, our voices
Open up a new era
Let it ring, it’s our voice
Play it, our singing voice
[Chorus: Sumetal]
The sword of pledge
Raise it up for tomorrow
The unknown path
Create it with those hands
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
It’s dawn, bathing in the light
Cut through the darkness
