Good reaction. 'Karate' is about fighting and standing up against adversity, moving on when everything seems too hard, getting up when you've been knocked down. The figures in white were the girls themselves (did you see their reflections in their eyes when the masks shattered?) and they had been conjuring up their own inner demons to fight. They chose karate to illustrate this whole idea because it is a Japanese martial art, but it also has no backward moves and it reflected the positive message of the song. The girls watched a lot of martial arts movies to get ideas for the choreo and they wanted their moves to be as authentic as they could. The hand sign is their version of the rock hand sign, but there is a story behind it (which may or may not be true) that they were being shown the 'devil horns' metal hand sign and mistook it for the shadow play fox - and that stuck so a whole mythology and lore was built up around the Fox God choosing them to lead the metal resistance and they have been carrying on with that and developing that lore all the time they have been in existence. It's all good fun and nonsense of course, but everybody plays along. The 'kitsune' or fox hand is what everybody holds up at all their concerts instead of the rock horns. FastWalker has posted links to some excellent performances for more Babymetal reactions - I will just echo those recommendations for now.
That is a Fox Symbol. Do you have time to talk about our Lord and Savior the Fox God? #notacult Babymetal had a concert with giant Fox Statues and they would breath smoke and lazers would shoot out of their eyes. The girls saw the metal horns and thought they were a Fox Symbol. Fox Records was/is their label. So they went with that and created a mythology. They've said in interviews that the spirit of the Fox God comes over them in concerts and they have no memory of the performance. Have you done Megitsune yet? That is female Fox. Kitsune is fox. Kitsune is the Fox God.
Thank you so much for your nice reaction. Yeah, Road of Resistance tends to be blocked so quickly. There may be a complicated circumstances. I assume that it may be caused by the mixed copyright of Babymetal with Dragonforce who co-wrote the song.
It's been reacted to since 2015, usually without any problems. One likely theory is that with the human moderators at home, that the RUclips copyright robots have been dialed up high. Also, while Herman Li and Sam Totman contributed guitar tracks to the studio version of 'Road of Resistance', they don't hold any copyrights on the song.
💀 💕 / 👻 👻 👻 Like a lot of BABYMETAL songs, this one has a very positive message about facing life's challenges. The video does a great job expressing the sense of the song, but if you're curious, here's a translation: du-metal.blogspot.com/2015/12/karate.html And for something a little different from what you've heard so far, here's a solo song from Su-metal (Su). This is 'Rondo of Nightmare' from the Budokan Black Night concert, with a short lead-in instrumental by the Kami Band. It's from 2014 when she was only sixteen, but it's still a classic performance: ruclips.net/video/QxYAcIyk2Co/видео.html
Here is a 1 person orchestra, 826aska, who except for Babymetal is my favorite among the many great acts of Japan that I know of... and similar to your comment I can say I’m sure there are many that I haven’t yet heard. This is a recent upload from her, nothing special about it. It is majestic beyond belief, given the visual of it all being performed by one person, but that’s what she does. I don’t know about making a reaction video to it but for sure it’s worth a look. ruclips.net/video/Qr8Tw42gYnI/видео.html
If you like more old-school rock/metal I can recommend Ningen Isu. Here is one of their more recent videos: "Heartless Scat" ruclips.net/video/CbI79e5iZKs/видео.html
New Music? I'd love to see you react to a band from Ukraine, Jinjer (pronounced ginger) & their song "Pisces". It must be this song & it must be the "live studio session" for a first listen. You'd understand once you've watched it. They don't like to label themselves, but most people would probably refer to them as "progressive metal" The band is spectacular, but the vocalist (Tatiana) is on a whole different level with her vocal range, which oddly enough isn't even in full use on Pisces. Take care.
@@americanstupidreacts7343 thanks for your response. Band-Maid, Babymetal, & Jinjer are my three favorite RUclips finds because they're all so different & I traveled the USA from coast to coast to see all three of them in concert last September & October.
Busser 64 just missed Band Maid but have seen Babymetal and Jinjer and they are some of the most exciting and excellent shows I have seen in over 30 years of Concert going.

Yes, I did react to megitsune. Thanks for the info!
That is correct, #notacult
