This song is 100 percent THE flex of their true skill. 41 time signature changes, 8 tempo changes, 3 key changes. All played live, w choreo and live vocals. One time was all they needed to make this statement. You can see the girls sweating, concentrating, even mouthing their counts throughout this. Yet they still smiled and did what they always do. Right after this is the most beautiful rendition of The One ever performed. Its a two part song originally, but split apart when it came time to put them to record. Destinies showcases the skill, One showcases the unity with the fans. One of the best visuals in any BM performance happens during The One at Tokyo Dome, youll know it when you see it, Su's reaction alone will tell you its what im talking about. Just remember WE, the fans, are The One. The actual apex of their entire career, a dream realized. 55000 strong.
You forgot to mention one VERY big feat. Su's iem was having technical problems for this song, so she couldn't even use it for her timings. She had to do her own timings on her own based on the feel of the music. Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of that and I shake my head in disbelief and awe. AND she was how old at this time too??? what... 17? 18?
TOTD is one of those legendary songs that has become mythical among THE ONE. Along with From Dusk til Dawn. Which was only performed at one show in 2017 in LA and never again until the 10 BABYMETAL Budokan show in 2020. Which is very odd for such a popular song. There are songs that are so loved and so underplayed, that when they are performed, it's a major event in itself. Fans get emotional when a song that hasn't been performed in years gets added to a setlist by surprise. A good example would be IDZ at Legend Metal Galaxy Night 2 in 2019. This was BM's comeback year after a uncertain and unfortunate 2018 where Yui left, and Mikio passed away. Everything about the band was uncertain at that point and fans were worried that BM is not going to continue. The Legend Metal Galaxy shows were among the best shows they ever did. Each night being closed out with EVERY Kami member on stage and all the Avengers on stage together performing RoR on night 1 and IDZ on night 2. I remember seeing so many fans in the arena crying as the opening monolog for IDZ started. Everyone was shock and overjoyed to her such an iconic song being performed in the most epic way possible. I suggest trying to find that version of IDZ and watching it. It was truly a special moment for THE ONE as it truely felt at that point that BABYMETAL is back and everything is going to be okay. ruclips.net/video/2HsRUZzjZkQ/видео.html
From what I've read: Tales of Destinies took over a year to write, and due to the crazy intensity of the complete structure, was only performed once live by the Eastern Kami's in Tokyo.
At this point you probably know that they have a click track going on in their in-ear monitor, also they hear their own voices as a feedback. This is immensely important for everybody to be in sync, and to sing in the tone. Now. This is the most technical song they ever performed, they learned it all for this one show. And what happens? Su's in-ear monitor is muted at the start of the song. She is going in deaf, picking up clues from the lights or whatever. You didn't notice it, no one did. It was revealed only years later. But the evidence is there, at 11:18 exactly, she is signaling the sound engineer. Like "what are you doing, turn this thing on". You didn't notice it, no one did. Everybody thought the move was part of the choreo. That's how good she is.
Been a fan of BM since 2014 and never get bored to any song they released. They had a world tour last 2019-2020 and they supposed to be visiting the Philippines for a music festival with Dragonforce, Iron Maiden and many more. It would also be the first time to see them live, unfortunately, covid hits. BM already landed here but the event was cancelled. I was heartbroken.
"This is insanely good music!" - Yep, that's Babymetal! And two great performances that illustrate just how good they are. Always great to see someone who understands what goes into their greatness - the hard, hard practice and rehearsal, the production, the band musicianship and everything else that goes into the performances we members of The One get to see. 🦊🤘🤘🦊 Talking of their hard rehearsal ethic, they perfected their choreography for this Prog Metal classic and then just performed it this one time. 🦊🤘🤘🦊IDZ live at Sonisphere please!
Great double reaction. 'Headbanger' isn't about X Japan's drummer - the neck brace they used in the official video does pay homage to him - as does the gong Su hit at the end of the performance. The song itself is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but also coming to terms with the fact that at 15 she will never be considered as a child again and those first 15 years passed by so quickly. She is etching this special night of her 15th into her heart so she will never forget. At shows in 2014 on or near their own 15th birthdays Su handed the mic and stand to Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne) half way through the song and they took over lead vocals for the rest of it. The same thing happened in 2019 on Moa's 20th birthday (the official coming of age in Japan) and it happened again - I think you have already had 'Moabanger' requested. 'Tales of the Destinies' - this was the only time they played it live - at the Tokyo Dome in front of 55,000 people and it was part of the two part finale on the first night with 'The One', a song dedicated to the fans. The piano at the end was the bridge into 'The One'. The two songs were part of the same song originally but were separated to become two songs early in the writing process. TotD pays homage to Dream Theater's 'Dance of Eternity' and is full on Prog Metal ... Dream Theater should have added choreo.
I love your reaction! I'm glad you reacted to Tales of the Destinies. I felt few people reacted to this song idk why, but this song is a banger and so technical not many people or casual listeners understand how technical and how good about this song. thank you for reacting! ❤🦊🦊🦊
Dude, when I first discovered this band, just like u, I had so many WTF moments that blew me away! And trust me that never stops ...u will have those more and more the deeper u go down this rabbit hole! Loll, but yeh, this is next level stuff man😅
Another great double feature, thanks! "This is insanely good music", "the way that their choreography tells the story on the stage...", "precision, execution, dedication...", "I love the gold on this, I love these outfits". Tell no more, you will never be the same person again. 😁 Like many others, I was here for the metal, the precision and the quality but I never ever expected caring about a choreo or an outfit. Mike Portnoy commented on his social media being "BLOWN away" by "TOTD".
This version of Headbanger is what drew me into the Foxhole. I've got tickets for the Phoenix and 2 Los Angeles shows, and I'm working on getting to a few others 🦊🤘
Lucky you, I am envious. I am very tempted to try to get an LA ticket. I am already going to the Seattle show. LA is a fairly long journey from me. I am strongly considering it though.
I grew up with music in the 80's - 90's ... Music was about being hopeful and having fun. That died in the 90's with grunge (which I love also) and completely degenerated with rap. The Japanese rock scene is a return to having fun and not taking everything so seriously, especially in the female fronted rock scene there. Band Maid, Hanabie, Love Bites , Nemophila, Dollhouse etc... and of course the OG Baby Metal. I have had so much fun discovering this scene over the last decade and it just keeps getting better. I never would have flown to concerts to see anyone over the past 20 years, but now it is common for me. Short flight to see Band Maid .. Sure!, Fly to see Babymetal .. I'm there!, Hanabie in Chicago .. OK! I have met so many great people at these shows and partied in so many great places with them. Plus these bands actually care about meeting and putting on a great show for the fans .. the meet and greets have been fantastic and interactive .. not just the usual get in line and get a photo opportunity that most bands will empty your wallet for.
@@radioraffa my apologies, of course the first one was on December 21st 2013 at Mukahari Messe Exhibition Hall in Chiba City and the Prefecture of Chiba. I should have have made clear that I was talking about TOTD, I'll try to do better next time so that you don't feel the need to take the time to correct me on what should have been a relaxing Sunday for you
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。[Headbangerrr] Can you believe that this is the 12th song after 11 exhausting performance (and still 2 more) ? In your video, you heard the crowd shout some words at 03:54. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!" (addressed to crybabies in the metal concert). This crowd's shout in Japanese occurs wherever BM goes on this planet and whenever Su-Metal turns her mic towards the audience. In the two-day shows on Jan.28/29 this year, I was forced to bang my head two times happily 😄 . [TOTD] When I saw this video for the first time, I thought people who had planned it and then realized it were literally insane (including choreographer Mikiko). The performance was perfect and stunning. In an interview, however, Su-Metal said that she has not been satisfied at all with her performance at Tokyo Dome and would like to retry it someday. [source : Magazine "Bessatsu KADOKAWA" Oct.13, 2020 issue, Page 87] Many people have looked forward to the "someday" but it did not come yet.
Interesting about TOTD. I think Su did an amazing job singing this live. Also the choreography, with all the changes this song has to offer, holy moly! They did amazing dancing to this! How the heck?? These girls are brilliant and never cease to amaze!
@@Jordehwa4444 Yeah, I have the same opinion with yours. Su said, however, in the same interview "I lost the pitch in some 10 seconds after the music had started then I continued the performance out of pitch all through the first verse. I was mortified very much by it". I believe that she did it flawlessly.
@@flugelhornoldman1362 Wow, yeah. I re-listened to the song again. It still sounds flawless to me, even upon close inspection, I can't find anything I would change. You can really tell that she holds herself to a very high standard of singing. Not only is she awesome, she's also very humble and wants to improve where she can. She's very respectable. It's no wonder, she's the Supreme Queen!
8:22 precisely you will see that the bass player (Boh) has "Happy Birthday" written on his head as it was Su-Metal's birthday (normally he has a slash pattern). BxMxC live will blow your mind - heavy rap dub. Su-Metal doing 3 Octave sliding scales accapela.
I've been lucky enough to of seen BABYMETAL 6 times now, the first being Wembley arena, and Most recently again at Wembley arena with Sabaton back in April, and they just get better and better, they never disappoint, I'm going to bk2bk nights at the Camden roundhouse this November and i cannot wait 🤘 loving viewing your journey down the 🦊 hole 🕳, keep up the good work sir 😊
btw, did any of you guys notice what BOH wrote on his bald head? it's suzuka's birthday... and on his head is written "Happy Birthday" in english 8:23 uncle BOH just likes his girls. and in case no one has told you yet...because of "totD"...this is actually only the first half of the song..."The One" is the second half...the continuation of "Tales of the Destinies" "Tales of the Destinies+The One" is actually one song. the piano melody at the end of "TotD" is the beginning of "TO" the transition
I think you'll like them even more when you learn about their personalities and relationship with each other when they were in Sakura Gakuin. Once you enter that side tunnel of the foxhole, it will open your eyes to a whole new world of how they were trained while growing up. Their dedication and hard work all stemmer from Sakura Gakuin. If there was no Sakura Gakuin, there would have been no Babymetal. Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal inspire me everyday.
Girls talked "we don't get how to ourself control when first started and were frantically", so I recommend gigs of "Legend IDZ" or "BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)".
I used to reject ALL reaction videos, because they all seemed fake... then I came across your channel, and the reason I know you're the real deal - I'm watching myself in you discovering all the insanely killer videos of Babaymetal. Jaw on the ground while your head won't stop banging!! KEEP DOING the BM reactions - you've got another new subscriber and liker on every one!!
Su manages to belt out that voice while working just as hard in the dance routine as Momo and Moa. amazing. as for lyrics, their songs are fun topics, well written and powerful, (watch with CC on for english)
Their music has a Broadway level precision unlike anything I have ever seen. These girls should earn mad respect. Then you have the band which is insanely incredible. Babymetal is like finding the Lost City of Atlantis
just found out headbanger is about a girl going to a metal concert for her 15th birthday?? im turning 15 tomorrow and im seeing babymetal live soon this is so poetic
Yui team here ❤❤❤ I love the way you reacts to music, simple reactions but meaningful i mean very very meaningful. Your babymetal reaction Playlist is very very awesome, iam enjoyed it so much, thank you ❤
For your own viewing pleasure, you should watch a show opener "Ave Maria + Headbanger Night of 15 Mix". Of course, if you would like to record your reaction to it, it would be great!🎉. Night of 15, I guessd that was Su's 15th birthday.
Very good positive reaction. The whole Babymetal concept/execution is thru the roof. Headbangerrr! is supposed to be derived around Su-chan's 18th b-day and her first metal concert, I think. All their songs are based on an experience or lesson, I think. Just continue your journey down the 🦊Fox hole. I don't think you will be disappointed...
I'm looking forward to you reacting to Babymetal performing with their doppelganger's Chibimetal. They performed together Doki Doki Morning at the January Japan show,and Karate at the April show in Japan. Prepare to have your mind blown even more 🦊🤘
Yeah, TotD is a real headfuck, ain't it? Some people criticise the three girls for being "just singers and dancers". Anyone who has the chops to keep track of those rhythmic changes, and the strength to put in the work to learn those vocals and choreo, is already next-level whether or not they hold an instrument. In fact, they themselves are their own instruments and they fucking shred. And at such young ages. Respect. Talking of shredding, the late, guitar great, Mikio Fujioka, usually made really demanding stuff look pretty effortless, but even Mikio was clearly having to concentrate here. We all like different stuff, so I can understand people not liking BABYMETAL - but I'll never understand how anyone can deny the breathtaking talent and scary hard work.
BTW this is a tribute to "Dream Theater - The Dance Of Eternity". That ragtime insert makes it clear. And the D and the T in the title. And everything.
Wow I thought you already got Headbanger!! in the bucket list, you need to do a BM playlist coz I'm lost sometimes, plus some reactions don't have the title of the songs you're reacting. Anyway this was a nice double set but the wrong set, lemme explain you why. Usually Tales Of The Destinies goes well along with The One live at Tokyo Dome 2016 which is the next follow up and a huge milestone in front of 55K fans each night, both songs were part of the same song and were split in two parts, this one is a clear tribute to Dream Theater and a progressive metal while The One is dedicated to all of us, their fans and is more like progressive rock with hard rock ballad elements. Anyway hope you get there next time. And HB is an all time classic that goes well with either Akatsuki Unfinished Version, which is the next song or straight to the big finale with Babymetal Death, but I think you already did that one, right? And yeah this one got some tribute to Yoshiki living legend from X-Japan while singing a story of a 15 yo girl going to her first live concert, probably one of X-Japan. Keep enjoying BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥
This was a snapshot of greatness in time. Those of us who weren't at this celebration/concert missed one of the greatest shows ever put on in my opinion. I still want to see them, but the music has changed, the girls are grown, Yui is gone, and nothing stays the same. Change is inevitable, but fun was THE thing with BM, now........?
I know I'm a year behind reacting to your reaction so I'm sorry about that. It seems that you have been pushed down the foxhole by Su-Metal's Death Stare and it's a good place to be. I have been part of The One for 10 years and I refuse to climb out. They just keep doing it again and again. The songs, production, choreo are all next level and because they created their own genre, they really are different to everything else. What I find is that once people get their WTF moment out of the way, they can't stop smiling and enjoying them. Your reactions are thoughtful and informed, and I can't wait to watch more. By the way, greetings from Australia.
Welcome!! She truly is amazing, I just saw them for the second time recently and posted another vlog from it if you were interested in seeing it! No worries on the timeframe now is the best time to connect!!
Annnnnd HeadBanger is another one of my Favorite favorites! I'm not into Prog metal so ToTD isn't for me but I still wont skip it because Su does sound amazing her in parts. Got my tickets to the Las Vegas and Los Angeles shows. So pumped. 🤘🦊🤘 Holy crap I never noticed Moa going bomp bomp bomp @12:29 along with the beat. She is just too adorable and really enjoys what she does. Looking forward to the Yava reaction. Another Favorite of my favorites. 😁
i will say this as far as live performance goes i put babymetal with the likes of rammstein and that is a hill im willing to die on i been a fan of rammstain since i was 12 and as soon as i found babymetal i was a fan back in 2013 and im happy to say it
awesome show dude, when do you record these? MoaMetal's birthday is the 4th of July which is the 3rd here in the States, but a lot of us start celebrating today with a marathon stream on Twitch Babymetaltube, you should stop by and see the love for our Angel of Love, she is turning 24, it is amazing to watch these kids grow into Metal Goddesses. I highly recommend a very special version of Headbanger, AKA MOABANGERRRRR. and when you finally do FDTD Budokan 2021, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner, it's a mind trip.
Just so you know, when they tour the US this year.. The shows will be toned down compared to their shows they do in Japan also they are touring with the West Kami band who are good.. But ,Just not as good as the East Kamis. During his live stream this morning East Kami Guitarist Takayoshi Ohmura was asked if he will play with Babymetal again and he said "I don't know.."
Eastern Kami is the real Babymetal. Babymetal should be a happy performances just like the concept at the first place, Eastern kami always happy and never stop smiling during performances while western kami is toooo serious they are just like cannibal corpse and other serious death metal performers.
I love BABYMETAL!!! They used to make listening to metal music fun. But I have to say I'm not a big fan of "Tales of the Destinies". It isn't bad but, to me, it sounds like a musical train wreck wrapped around a Su-metal solo. And I know what musical train wrecks sound like - I've listened to early Pink Floyd, and a few songs of The Beatles sound like they went off the rails. To be honest, I think there are two reasons why they performed this song live only once: first, it would have been a technical nightmare to reproduce that "music" over and over; second, it probably wasn't all that popular to the One. Anyway, keep rockin' the BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
I don’t want to burst your bubble but if the US shows are anything like the Europe and South Pacific shows they are not nearly as elaborate as compared to what your watching. Second they are not playing a majority of their older songs. They are trying to promote their new album and they only play for just over an hour so that leaves little room for the classics.
Yes, you don't get the big stages and spectacle of the Japan shows, but in some ways it is better. You can get a lot closer for one thing. And the girls are more relaxed and can just have fun on stage because there isn't going to be a Blu Ray or live album recording from it. Moa and Momoko wave and make hearts at fans a lot when they have time. Even Su smiles at people in the smaller shows, in the big shows, she stays in Su-metal character the whole time pretty much. I am fine with them playing a mix of older and new songs, some of the new songs are pretty amazing live from the fan cams I have seen. Maya looks like a banger live, I hope they play it. They will definitely play Monochrome and Mirror Mirror I think.
Yes this is true about the crowd size and intimacy with the audience from the girls. I haven’t seen that they played headbanger on this world tour yet though. They do play Death, Papaya, and Road of Resistance. But it is still possible they may play it just to change things up.

More recently they had Momo do her birthday part as well, in which she gives a legendary growl
And this is why they are my favorite band.
Kitsune dao!
Both of these were great choices. Love that Tales of the Destinies performance, just top tier by everyone involved.
The world has such great music.

Of course, I'm bias, but Babymetal has a level of performance at an early age that not many bands will ever reach.
Another great double feature, thanks!

These two Tokyo Dome shows are my favorite because they played a different setlist each night, and these shows may have been the pinnacle of early BM
The first video was not at Tokyo dome.

Interesting about TOTD. I think Su did an amazing job singing this live. Also the choreography, with all the changes this song has to offer, holy moly! They did amazing dancing to this! How the heck?? These girls are brilliant and never cease to amaze!
@@Jordehwa4444 Yeah, I have the same opinion with yours. Su said, however, in the same interview "I lost the pitch in some 10 seconds after the music had started then I continued the performance out of pitch all through the first verse. I was mortified very much by it". I believe that she did it flawlessly.
@@flugelhornoldman1362
Wow, yeah. I re-listened to the song again. It still sounds flawless to me, even upon close inspection, I can't find anything I would change. You can really tell that she holds herself to a very high standard of singing. Not only is she awesome, she's also very humble and wants to improve where she can.
She's very respectable. It's no wonder, she's the Supreme Queen!

Babymetal singles chronology:-
"Babymetal / Kiba of Akiba": (2012)
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!": (2012)
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai": (2013)
Background and release:-
Unlike previous tracks released by the band, which had her vocal recorded in segments within the songs, Nakamoto had her lines recorded in a single take several times. She had been told to sing and find a story within the music. By the time she had comprehended the story behind the lyrics, she grew capable of singing the entire song naturally. When Mizuno and Kikuchi listened to her shouting "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" for the first time, they felt as if they had seen another cool side of her, surprised by the vocal power. Additionally, the single introduced the members to the whispering style of singing, with the A-side's "Kiero!" (Disappear!) and the B-side's "Uki Uki Midnight". Kobametal was inspired to Ko use it to contrast traditional death growls.
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" was announced as a single on April 27, 2012, with a release date set for July 7, 2012. The single was released in two versions: a standard edition, available via CD and digital formats, and a physical limited Hedo-ban ("Head edition"), which contains a CD and a "neck corset" (actually a cervical collar) for headbanging training.[5] Both editions of the single feature the songs "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" and "Uki Uki ★ Midnight" (ウ・キ・ウ・キ★ミッドナイト, "Exhilarating Midnight"), along with instrumental versions (labeled as "Air Vocal ver."). The standard version contains an enhanced CD with a bonus music video of "Babymetal Death", which can only be played on a computer. The artwork of the standard edition depicts a lyric in the song, specifically when the girl is headbanging with the corset, with the crimson-colored moon in the background, as well as the band name appearing at the top. The limited edition artwork depicts a temple scripture of the "Corset of Legend" with the song title spelled out in the middle.
Before the physical international release of the song, its title was written ambiguously as either "Head Bangya!!" or "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", the latter of which is officially used in the international re-release of Babymetal and all future releases. The music video uploaded to the band's RUclips channel initially had the former name, though it was switched to the latter in 2015; the version uploaded by Toy's Factory consistently retained the official title.
Tekina Remix:-
During the live performances Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, and Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai at Makuhari Messe on December 21, 2012, a remix titled "Night of 15 mix." was performed, containing more elements of electronic music. The former took place on Suzuka Nakamoto's actual fifteenth birthday, while the latter was the opening song for the concert. Remixed by DJ'Tekina//Something, the song was later released as part of Social Reform promotional editions of the single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", and later appeared on DJ'Tekina//Something's remix album Kawa-EDM (2016), re-subtitled as "Tekina Remix".
KamiBand:-
The KamiBand are the instrumentalists (or backing band) in BABYMETAL - Each member is a "god (Kami) of music" summoned by The Fox God stage by stage. All the Kamis are male except for the Babymetal girls. The Kami Band wear corpse face paint and white robes depicting Japanese 🇯🇵 spirit.

Tales Of The Destinies:-
A tribute to Legendary progressive rock band "Dream Theatre", Babymetal only performed this song once which is at the Tokyo Dome to a crowd of 55000 fans over two nights which total of 110000 fans. This song genre is Progressive Metal and different from "Dream Theatre" which focuses more on Rock. That night Su-Metal ear-in monitor malfunction just as the song is about to kick in, Su-Metal has to relied on The Kami Band tempo changes to be able to synchronise with The Kami Band and both Yuimetal & Moametal. Considered Babymetal most technical song and complex composition. As seasoned pros, Babymetal did a superb job that night. Those who love progressive music will definitely appreciate the technical aspects and precision of the Kami Band and Babymetal complicated choreography. The piano melody bridge will lead to the last song The One from their Metal Resistance Album. Progressive Metal at its best. Only done once live at the Tokyo Dome.

8:22 precisely you will see that the bass player (Boh) has "Happy Birthday" written on his head as it was Su-Metal's birthday (normally he has a slash pattern).
BxMxC live will blow your mind - heavy rap dub. Su-Metal doing 3 Octave sliding scales accapela.
Nice reaction. One of the things I enjoy about watching this is how much fun they're having. just makes you want to be there too.
BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
I've been lucky enough to of seen BABYMETAL 6 times now, the first being Wembley arena, and Most recently again at Wembley arena with Sabaton back in April, and they just get better and better, they never disappoint, I'm going to bk2bk nights at the Camden roundhouse this November and i cannot wait 🤘 loving viewing your journey down the 🦊 hole 🕳, keep up the good work sir 😊
TOD is babymetal at the height of there delicious powers.
Two sold out shows at the Tokyo dome 55,000 people at each show.
btw, did any of you guys notice what BOH wrote on his bald head? it's suzuka's birthday... and on his head is written "Happy Birthday" in english 8:23 uncle BOH just likes his girls. and in case no one has told you yet...because of "totD"...this is actually only the first half of the song..."The One" is the second half...the continuation of "Tales of the Destinies" "Tales of the Destinies+The One" is actually one song. the piano melody at the end of "TotD" is the beginning of "TO" the transition
Another great double reaction 😁
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Thanks Martin!!!
@@JustDunk 😁🤘🏼🦊
I think you'll like them even more when you learn about their personalities and relationship with each other when they were in Sakura Gakuin. Once you enter that side tunnel of the foxhole, it will open your eyes to a whole new world of how they were trained while growing up. Their dedication and hard work all stemmer from Sakura Gakuin. If there was no Sakura Gakuin, there would have been no Babymetal. Sakura Gakuin and Babymetal inspire me everyday.
I was there! Yes, it was EPIC!
Privileged to have seen it live 🤟🏻👍🏻
Girls talked "we don't get how to ourself control when first started and were frantically", so I recommend gigs of "Legend IDZ" or "BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL)".
😮 Hi JD I'm going to see them in Dallas Tx -.see you there let's go
I used to reject ALL reaction videos, because they all seemed fake... then I came across your channel, and the reason I know you're the real deal - I'm watching myself in you discovering all the insanely killer videos of Babaymetal. Jaw on the ground while your head won't stop banging!! KEEP DOING the BM reactions - you've got another new subscriber and liker on every one!!
Thanks Scott that means so much!!!!
Su manages to belt out that voice while working just as hard in the dance routine as Momo and Moa. amazing. as for lyrics, their songs are fun topics, well written and powerful, (watch with CC on for english)
don't forget " the One" it's part of this song . if you hear the guitar in the beginning - it's "the One" just at different speed.
Their music has a Broadway level precision unlike anything I have ever seen. These girls should earn mad respect. Then you have the band which is insanely incredible. Babymetal is like finding the Lost City of Atlantis
It's about a 16 yr old girl going to a concert and rushing The stage to headbang
15*
Missed opportunity to do both Tale of the Destinies followed by The One from Tokyo Dome. That ending piano leads right into The One.
just found out headbanger is about a girl going to a metal concert for her 15th birthday?? im turning 15 tomorrow and im seeing babymetal live soon this is so poetic
Yui team here ❤❤❤
I love the way you reacts to music, simple reactions but meaningful i mean very very meaningful.
Your babymetal reaction Playlist is very very awesome, iam enjoyed it so much, thank you ❤
Thank you!!! 😊
For your own viewing pleasure, you should watch a show opener "Ave Maria + Headbanger Night of 15 Mix". Of course, if you would like to record your reaction to it, it would be great!🎉. Night of 15, I guessd that was Su's 15th birthday.
12:52
How lucky I am to live in the BabyMetal era.🦊🤘
Very good positive reaction. The whole Babymetal concept/execution is thru the roof. Headbangerrr! is supposed to be derived around Su-chan's 18th b-day and her first metal concert, I think. All their songs are based on an experience or lesson, I think. Just continue your journey down the 🦊Fox hole. I don't think you will be disappointed...
It's a masterpiece
I'm looking forward to you reacting to Babymetal performing with their doppelganger's Chibimetal. They performed together Doki Doki Morning at the January Japan show,and Karate at the April show in Japan. Prepare to have your mind blown even more 🦊🤘
Still sleeping on Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live (top 3 performance)
Noted. :) Thanks we have a discord where you can share some more suggestions!! discord.gg/PJ9jWzR72A
Yeah, TotD is a real headfuck, ain't it? Some people criticise the three girls for being "just singers and dancers". Anyone who has the chops to keep track of those rhythmic changes, and the strength to put in the work to learn those vocals and choreo, is already next-level whether or not they hold an instrument. In fact, they themselves are their own instruments and they fucking shred. And at such young ages. Respect.
Talking of shredding, the late, guitar great, Mikio Fujioka, usually made really demanding stuff look pretty effortless, but even Mikio was clearly having to concentrate here.
We all like different stuff, so I can understand people not liking BABYMETAL - but I'll never understand how anyone can deny the breathtaking talent and scary hard work.
Babymetal - the one
BTW this is a tribute to "Dream Theater - The Dance Of Eternity". That ragtime insert makes it clear. And the D and the T in the title. And everything.
Great double reaction mate
Wow I thought you already got Headbanger!! in the bucket list, you need to do a BM playlist coz I'm lost sometimes, plus some reactions don't have the title of the songs you're reacting.
Anyway this was a nice double set but the wrong set, lemme explain you why.
Usually Tales Of The Destinies goes well along with The One live at Tokyo Dome 2016 which is the next follow up and a huge milestone in front of 55K fans each night, both songs were part of the same song and were split in two parts, this one is a clear tribute to Dream Theater and a progressive metal while The One is dedicated to all of us, their fans and is more like progressive rock with hard rock ballad elements. Anyway hope you get there next time.
And HB is an all time classic that goes well with either Akatsuki Unfinished Version, which is the next song or straight to the big finale with Babymetal Death, but I think you already did that one, right? And yeah this one got some tribute to Yoshiki living legend from X-Japan while singing a story of a 15 yo girl going to her first live concert, probably one of X-Japan.
Keep enjoying BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘🔥
Sunday at Blue Ridge for me. Will get to see Jinger also. 🦊 🖖❤
This was a snapshot of greatness in time. Those of us who weren't at this celebration/concert missed one of the greatest shows ever put on in my opinion. I still want to see them, but the music has changed, the girls are grown, Yui is gone, and nothing stays the same. Change is inevitable, but fun was THE thing with BM, now........?
Was looking for this from you. Headbanger is ridiculous. Enjoy.
I know I'm a year behind reacting to your reaction so I'm sorry about that. It seems that you have been pushed down the foxhole by
Su-Metal's Death Stare and it's a good place to be. I have been part of The One for 10 years and I refuse to climb out. They just keep doing it again and again. The songs, production, choreo are all next level and because they created their own genre, they really are different to everything else. What I find is that once people get their WTF moment out of the way, they can't stop smiling and enjoying them. Your reactions are thoughtful and informed, and I can't wait to watch more. By the way, greetings from Australia.
Welcome!! She truly is amazing, I just saw them for the second time recently and posted another vlog from it if you were interested in seeing it! No worries on the timeframe now is the best time to connect!!
Annnnnd HeadBanger is another one of my Favorite favorites! I'm not into Prog metal so ToTD isn't for me but I still wont skip it because Su does sound amazing her in parts. Got my tickets to the Las Vegas and Los Angeles shows. So pumped. 🤘🦊🤘
Holy crap I never noticed Moa going bomp bomp bomp @12:29 along with the beat. She is just too adorable and really enjoys what she does.
Looking forward to the Yava reaction. Another Favorite of my favorites. 😁
i will say this as far as live performance goes i put babymetal with the likes of rammstein and that is a hill im willing to die on i been a fan of rammstain since i was 12 and as soon as i found babymetal i was a fan back in 2013 and im happy to say it
I don't have a favorite BM song, but this is probably my favorite version of this song, followed by Moa Banger for Moa's 20th Birthday.
Yes i agree. This version at Makuhari Messe and the "Moa Banger" performance are the best ones imo.
They are absolute bangers🤘
Please react to "Headbanger Moa version", even know has Moabanger!! If you do, prepare your heart for the "Moa smirk " ❤
Great reaction！
absolutely amazing and insane ❤❤❤❤❤
love the death note shirt
彼がプライベートでTokyo Dome Live 2016 red night を観てくれると嬉しいです
So this song and the song, ,,the one used to be 1 song. They split it in half. At the end, that piano part goes right into the one.
awesome show dude, when do you record these? MoaMetal's birthday is the 4th of July which is the 3rd here in the States, but a lot of us start celebrating today with a marathon stream on Twitch Babymetaltube, you should stop by and see the love for our Angel of Love, she is turning 24, it is amazing to watch these kids grow into Metal Goddesses. I highly recommend a very special version of Headbanger, AKA MOABANGERRRRR. and when you finally do FDTD Budokan 2021, you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner, it's a mind trip.
Awesome!!!!
🤘🦊🤘
The 'one'.
Choreography like a marionette was impressive
👍 👍
Excellent.
these cute little girls almost made me give up on making music...after this video I felt like a bag of s>>h_it
Awh! He could have watched Moa Bangerrrrrr too ^^
I already requested Moabanger for her birthday on July 4th. 🤘❤🤘
@@AxeSwipe2011 Nice ^^ I really hope he get to see it
Hey i got an extra ticket for sept here in Florida. You down?
Would you believe they actually perform on top of that jumbotron?

Love It 🍷🗿
Just so you know, when they tour the US this year.. The shows will be toned down compared to their shows they do in Japan also they are touring with the West Kami band who are good.. But ,Just not as good as the East Kamis. During his live stream this morning East Kami Guitarist Takayoshi Ohmura was asked if he will play with Babymetal again and he said "I don't know.."
Ohmura gave the same answer when he was asked the same question at a club gig about 6 years ago.
@@OtobokeGaijin6218 Well 6 years ago they didn't have a economy version band taking their place.
Eastern Kami is the real Babymetal.
Babymetal should be a happy performances just like the concept at the first place, Eastern kami always happy and never stop smiling during performances while western kami is toooo serious they are just like cannibal corpse and other serious death metal performers.
I love BABYMETAL!!! They used to make listening to metal music fun. But I have to say I'm not a big fan of "Tales of the Destinies". It isn't bad but, to me, it sounds like a musical train wreck wrapped around a Su-metal solo. And I know what musical train wrecks sound like - I've listened to early Pink Floyd, and a few songs of The Beatles sound like they went off the rails. To be honest, I think there are two reasons why they performed this song live only once: first, it would have been a technical nightmare to reproduce that "music" over and over; second, it probably wasn't all that popular to the One.
Anyway, keep rockin' the BABYMETAL!!!
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
😉😉😉🤘🤘🤘
I don’t want to burst your bubble but if the US shows are anything like the Europe and South Pacific shows they are not nearly as elaborate as compared to what your watching. Second they are not playing a majority of their older songs. They are trying to promote their new album and they only play for just over an hour so that leaves little room for the classics.
True the shows are not as elaborate but their performances are just as good. Every band worth a shot will play new songs if they are still good songs.
Yes, you don't get the big stages and spectacle of the Japan shows, but in some ways it is better. You can get a lot closer for one thing. And the girls are more relaxed and can just have fun on stage because there isn't going to be a Blu Ray or live album recording from it. Moa and Momoko wave and make hearts at fans a lot when they have time. Even Su smiles at people in the smaller shows, in the big shows, she stays in Su-metal character the whole time pretty much. I am fine with them playing a mix of older and new songs, some of the new songs are pretty amazing live from the fan cams I have seen. Maya looks like a banger live, I hope they play it. They will definitely play Monochrome and Mirror Mirror I think.
Yes this is true about the crowd size and intimacy with the audience from the girls. I haven’t seen that they played headbanger on this world tour yet though. They do play Death, Papaya, and Road of Resistance. But it is still possible they may play it just to change things up.
tix for that concert u metioned are 800 a piece here in vancouver. lol wanna go so bad. *swear words*
Did you spot the pikachu in the crowd for Headbanger🧐?
I did but it was after!!! So good!!! Sorry I missed it on the first watch! I was head banging super hard lol
i'm gonna be so mad if babymetal bring the japanese kami band for american shows.. because they bring the west kami band here for asia tour
First time im disappointed in you.cant belive you dident mention the crowd in the headbanger video...😅
I’m sorry haha I was just shocked!! I’ll have to go back for a rewatch
@@JustDunk Look out for the guy in the yellow Pichaku costume near the front middle!
He was headbanging too hard to see Pikachu.
