I'm an old man and I know it's absurd, but when I see Babymetal I'm proud of these girls as if they were my own and I want the whole world to hear and see them. 🤘🦊🤘
It’s not absurd at all! ❤🤘🦊🔥
I remember years ago when I showed them to my girlfriend and her daughter for the first time. It was a video of Gimme Chocolate at Legend 1997, and was something like "Hey, isn't the music great, and look at the dancing, look at the crowd..." and then I felt the tears gushing into my eyes. It hit me totally unprepared and it was a little awkward, because people outside the fan community can't relate to it. It was just that feeling you described. It's strange to feel like that for people you don't know, but I'm glad I'm feeling like that.
I have always felt the same, I can't wait for November when I get my second live experience.
To have that loyalty from your fans is earned from hard work, dedication and talent.
At this stage they were still only 17 and 15 years old.
And genuinely humble off-stage.
Welcome back, great reaction again. This video was from January 2015 at the Saitama Super Arena. Su was 17, Yui and Moa only 15 and, as you read in the blurb, that was over 20,000 people completely under their control. Even at that age Su just looks at the crowd, spreads her arms and the crowd opens up for a wall of death (actually several walls of death at that concert as the crowd were in sections. A journalist up in the balcony that night said he counted, I think it was, 21 mosh pits).
This was also the end of a 90 minute concert - they had been keeping that same energy up without any drop in quality for the whole time. It is what they do - they appreciate people have often paid a lot of money and travelled a long way to see them, they never give anything less than 100% for every song at every concert, whether that is one of their big arena concerts in Japan or at the many various sized venues as they tour the world.
About the song itself - 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about forging your own road even where a road doesn't already exist, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way.
It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow.
Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce did the guitar arrangements for this song (it is the only one they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version. They have said they made this more technical and faster than most of their own songs thinking they would never have to play it live ... and that they had to practice hard when they did perform it with BABYMETAL at an awards show in London later in 2015.
This was the Kami Band playing live of course, each one of them is a world class musician. In this concert the Kami Band were Leda Cygnus and Takayoshi Ohmura on guitars (Takayoshi has the glitter pink guitar) with BOH on his 6 string bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
We can take you back a lot further than this if you want to see even more how much they have developed and evolved - this video was January 2015, they made their stage debut singing just one song in their parent group's first show in November 2010 when Su was 12, Yui and Moa only 11 ... but there is only a very short clip of that.
How about the Kami Band's very first appearance - October 6th 2012 at BABYMETAL's Legend I concert, one of their earliest solo shows, but still before they split from their parent group to become an independent band, so they were playing in very small venues (their first solo show earlier in 2012 was in a venue with a 150 capacity and they didn't have a backing band yet).
Look for 'Headbanger' live at Legend I.
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 This song must be very special for UK, BABYMETAL's second home. It was premiered at the Brixton, London on Nov.8, 2014. The UK audience quickly adjusted and started "wow wow" chant to Su-Metal's direction notwithstanding that no one in the world had listened to this song before. Japanese fans appreciated what the mates in UK did but felt a little bit jealous of them because the live debut of this anthemic song was not done in their homeland.
In your video, Su shouted some words at 11:48 meaning "Bring them on!". Fans analyzed that the provocative shout was thrown at people who had been ignoring, underrating, mocking, hating and even trying to discredit BABYMETAL. That shout may have been necessary in 2015 but not any longer. She shouted it rarely since then or when she does, it is with her friendly voice and smile that I love. Please explore BM more.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🏴 🏴 🏴
"Stand up and shout, Shout!, Justice Forever!" - (Road of Resistance) -
Su was still pretty young here (17 years old), but she had already been with BABYMETAL since she was 12.
At this point the group had performed in Asia outside of Japan and toured Europe, the UK and the USA.
This headlining show was at Saitama Super Arena (SSA) with a sold out crowd of over 20,000.
Of course this wasn't Su's "first rodeo".
She first appeared at SSA in 2008 as a member of the J-Pop trio Karen Girl's, when she was 10 years old.
"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational BABYMETAL!" 🦊 🖖❤
“As they perform this epic battle anthem with tactical kawaii precision and dragonforce their way into your foxholes”
@@Ganimal83 👍You are killing me!!! In a goooood way.😁 🦊 🖖❤
@@IAMisLove 🤣 until next time…
I will never get tired of this performance, seen it so many times, yet, I still get the chills every time!!
🤘🦊🤘🦊
Even now, more than 8 years later, the live performance at this time is still wonderful and has not faded away.
I would like you to watch "Monochrome" in the video of the concert held at Yokohama Arena in April this year. I am sure you will be moved.
ua-cam.com/video/2bQo7L7I3_o/v-deo.htmlsi=gWs8jFHYnTPHvC32
It may be an old song, but they still perform it! It was the final song when I saw them in Leeds this year, and it still gets the crowd going. Quite a rush.
It's amazing how this (live) song can get people emotional...
Great reaction!! If you think her control is impressive in this video, you should see them do the same thing at the Tokyo Dome (2 nights, 55,000 people each night). Each song has a different flavor of metal so you are in for a roller coaster ride if you keep going down this Fox hole. 😁
Welcome the the wonderful world of BABYMETAL Live. They did deliver on a whole different level than most other acts.
Lmao fr their performance is just stunning to watch, unreal experience 🦊🤘
Everyone needs a BabyMetal flag. :p 🤘🦊🤘
Really thoughtful, genuine reaction. Great job! I don't know if any band puts out a better conceived, better performed concert. This whole troupe is just spectacular!
Loved this! ♥️
BabyMetal Death Legend 1997 concert. It’s the lead singer’s bday concert 🔥🦊🔥
🤘🦊🤘
4:40 _"Now Pizza time (Pizza time!)"_ 🦊🤘🍕
Welcome back to the Foxhole, told ya, you've seen nothing yet.
Thanks for coming back with this suggestion, next one:
- Headbabangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Legend 1997 (2013), Gans Tomas got that clip safe to react under "Head Bangya" title, also abr metal got that clip, please don't go for the another one with high amount of views bc it has a long unnecessary outro and some audio issues.
See you next time 🦊🤘🔥
🍕 🍕 😁🤘🏼🦊
What is your opinion of the HEAD12356 version? IMO it is superior to Gans Tomas (and I thought Gans Tomas was the cat's pajamas until I saw HEAD123456's version).
@Filboid2000 i saw some of his really good . where cleaned up nicely
IDZ was a good copy 😁🤘🏼🦊
i just saw the final show of their u.s. tour 4 days ago, and i'm still on a high from seeing them live. it was a much smaller venue with much less production values,but the level of energy from the stage and the crowd was just as great. my video of the full show is on my channel (shameless plug),and now they're off to wow europe. i hope you get a chance to see them. it's an incredible experience.
My wife and I saw them our first times ever in Houston and Dallas and I was not prepared for the emotional shock I would feel seeing them up close in person with how giant their stage presence and energy truly is! It was awe inspiring and made me so excited for the momentum of their career .. it wasn't just lightning caught in a bottle .. they are evolving any just getting better and that's exciting as hell!
Jealous you guys got IDZ. It is my favorite BM song and have seen them 4 times, once with Yui, Muscle Metal, Avengers and Momo and still have not experienced it live.
@@tackle47 it's my fav and I've seen it 0 times, but I'm a new fan and it's looking like I'll have plenty of chances in the future whew!
@@Psyggiegood luck and enjoy the ride. It was a Wednesday when I saw Babymetal and the Friday saw Hanabie. If you have not checked them out they are loads of fun as well.
@@tackle47 from what i've been told they don't perform it much outside of japan.don't know why,but it does make me feel like it was a special occasion. there were several camera guys with "fox god camera crew" on the backs of their shirts in the theater,so maybe there's a dvd in the works.
Great reaction, thanks!
"It's always interesting to see where they come from" Indeed! You have no idea how right you are (again)... and you would be surprised. 😁
Some will never admit it, but they opened the path to many other Japanese bands... and that's exactly the meaning of this song: they are always walking their own path even if there is no path and no matter the difficulties they get in.
I second Grington300's suggestion for "Headbanger" Live at Legend I, being the first appearance of the Kami Band back in 2012. It's different and a very important piece of their history: ua-cam.com/video/qXp7e7lqo8w/v-deo.htmlsi=qqQQO-aL-ox2dTR0
Until next time!
🤘🦊
It boggles the mind to think that they have hit such legendary status that they can sell out the biggest stages in the world at such a young age, and after metals peek popularity. Imagine if they had done this 30 or 40 years earlier what we would think of them today. They would be the best of the best.
👍 👍
BabyMetal LIVE performances should be the theme EVERY week.
React to the MV's sometime after you have already witnessed the awesome LIVE BabyMetal performance of a song.
100% agree, +1 for Babymetal week….every week 😇🙏👌
👍
🤘🦊♪
BABYMETAL live is LIFE
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
GREAT reaction!!!
More babymetal!
This isn't even their beginning. By this time they have already been performing for years. You need to go further back to Doki Doki Morning or Headbanger music videos to really see their beginnings. This is from the Legend I concert in 2012, I believe it's the first appearance of the Kami Band in a live show (at least that's what the title says). ua-cam.com/video/qXp7e7lqo8w/v-deo.html
Road of Resistance: Live In Japan 🇯🇵 @"Saitama Super Arena (SSA):-
"Road of Resistance" is a song by the Japanese Kawaii metal band Babymetal. The song was released worldwide as a digital single on February 1, 2015 by Toy's Factory, serving as the lead single off the international re-release of the album Babymetal, as well the opening track from Metal Resistance. Su-Metal was 10 when she performed with Karen Girls at the SSA (SAITAMA SUPER ARENA). The Arena that night holds about 20000 Babymetal fans but when you see the centrepiece Island and the two curve bridge, it can hold up to 30000 or even up to 40000 depends on the configuration of Babymetal concert for each tour they performed. This song is co-written by Dragonforce with Herman Li and Sam Totman plays the guitar 🎸 solos, but Kami Band live show is brutal and tight. This is a classic Power Metal genre or speed metal as some might refer to. Bands like Dragonforce, Helloween and even Sabaton do power metal genre. Arkadia from Metal Galaxy Album is the successor to Road Of Resistance. At 17 Su-Metal alongside Yuimetal and Moametal who is 15 at that time, gave a perfect 👌 performance on how live show should be. This performance alone cemented my love ❤️ and appreciation for Babymetal. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤘🤘😍💕🌸🇯🇵🇸🇬#notacult. .
Babymetal singles chronology:-
•"Megitsune" (2013).
•"Road of Resistance" (2015).
•"Gimme Chocolate!!" (2015).
Background and release:-
"Road of Resistance" includes guest appearances by DragonForce guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman.
The song would be used to mark the beginning of the band's lore, Metal Resistance Episode III, at the concert held on November 8, 2014 at O2 Brixton Academy in London, which was also the final tour date for the band's Babymetal World Tour 2014.
A trailer for the song was released on January 5, 2015, integrating footage from the debut performance of the song in London. The song was first released as a digital bonus track off the live album Live at Budokan: Red Night, with limited editions of the album containing a download card with a code to download the song at no additional charge. The song was later released as a dedicated digital single on the iTunes Store on February 1, 2015.
Li and Totman are featured on guitars, although they are listed as featured artists in various regions of the re-release of the album Babymetal, on which the song appears as a bonus track, mainly in the United Kingdom.
Composition:-
Rolling Stone described the song as "power metal" with "shiny pop harmonies". Rock Sound called the song "everything we’d expect from [Babymetal] with a bit of Dragonforce’s exhilarating, flame-fingered guitar added in for good measure." Matt Evans of The List called the song an "empowering hyperspeed anthem". According to Kadokawa, the song consists of twin shred guitars courtesy of Li and Totman, with a dynamic sound derived of melodic speed metal. The lyrics are described as a narrative on the Metal Resistance, which the band adopted on their world tour. It has also been considered the "final stage" of Babymetal and the prologue to Metal Resistance, and a transition performance that demonstrates the band's growth from the previous album.
According to Su-metal, the song refers to the Metal Resistance lore, described as "the story of Babymetal traveling across the world in the hopes of creating a new metal to unify the world as we break through the barriers of language and borders. In the middle of the song there is a part where we go, ‘Wow, Wow’ and this is where our fans from around the world can sing with us at our concerts. I hope people will listen to our album and support us at our shows." Yuimetal stated in an interview with Metal Hammer that "Road of Resistance" is her favorite song from Metal Resistance, explaining that it "has been performed at so many concerts, so a lot of memories are jam-packed. The lyrics are positive, the sound is so cool, and [the] dance is so powerful."

Saitama Super Arena:-
"Saitama Super Arena (さいたまスーパーアリーナ, Saitama Sūpā Arīna) is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Chūō-ku, Saitama, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. It opened preliminarily on May 5, 2000, and then officially opened on September 1 of the same year. Its spectator capacity is 36,500 at maximum settings,[3] making it the second-largest indoor arena in the world. The main arena capacity is between 19,000 and 22,500".
•Owner: Saitama Arena Corp.
•Capacity: 36,500 (stadium setting) 18,000 (arena setting).
The arena was designed by Dan Meis, who at the time was working for architecture firm Ellerbe Becket, together with Nikken Sekkei. Meis's design was selected as a result of an international design competition. The arena features a gigantic movable section of seating which can reduce capacity for smaller events and create a more intimate setting.
It is a favorite venue for puroresu (Japanese professional wrestling) and mixed martial arts (MMA). It has also hosted other sports events such as boxing, basketball, volleyball, tennis, ice hockey, and gymnastics. It is the only Japanese arena equipped especially for American football.
It formerly housed the John Lennon Museum, which displayed John Lennon memorabilia and closed in 2010.

This one is far closer to "normal" Babymetal energy. Don't get me wrong, Monochrome's a beautiful song, but it's so sedate. THIS is the energy that made them international superstars.
I couldn't agree more! The entire TOO album is more or less like that - IMO they are trying to be "serious" and "epic" when that isn't what my impression of what BABYMETAL is. They are kawaii metal and there's none on TOO.
😎😎😎🤘🤘🤘😁
Road of resistance is my favorite song because it is Yui's ❤ favorite song.
Yui is the babymetal.
Babymetal is *HER*

"Monochrome" then "RoR"?! Talk about the difference between night and day!!! "Monochrome" is from BABYMETAL's fourth and latest album "The Other One" and, in my opinion, it isn't a bad album, it just isn't a BABYMETAL album. BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and TOO has no kawaii and the metal seems to be tossed in as an afterthought. They are trying too hard to be 'serious" and "epic" (which is ironic because "RoR" is pretty epic), but that isn't what BABYMETAL is about: BABYMETAL is about headbanging with a big, sh*t-eating grin on your face.
BABYMETAL has been around for a bit over twelve years now (they started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (or the “Greek chorus” as I like to call them - officially "scream and dance" and backing vocals) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the band in 2018, and only earlier this year Momometal (Momoko Okazaki) was named a member of the group. BABYMETAL is backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer.
"Road of Resistance" is from their second album, "Metal Resistance"; early BABYMETAL but not where they started. If you want to see where BABYMETAL started, I recommend you react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012 (from their first album "BABYMETAL"). I'm sure you will find both very entertaining. There is a playlist on UA-cam ("BABYMETAL Top Twenty") that includes those two songs and the one you just reacted to; I highly recommend you give it a look, it has a mix of MV’s and live performances, and could be considered a road map down the BABYMETAL foxhole. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art and worth looking into - during MV week, of course.
We are . . . BABYMETAL!!!
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘 See you!!!
Great reaction, enjoyed very much.
Su like a little moses parting the sea of fans 😁 the best performance of ROR in many fans opinion . You only just started your journey into the foxhole 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Nice to have you and KITSUNE UP! 🤘🦊🤘
Oh before I forget xD. #notacult
I'm new here, btw are you an Irish chap?
No I am originally from Liverpool, but grew up in Scotland - my accent is very mixed as I also spent 10 years in Wales and now been in the isle of Wight for 5+ years
1.Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live (best BabyMetal live show highlighting the kami band behind the girls)
2. Megitsune music video (probably their best song all time)
3. BMTH Kingslayer ft BabyMetal lyric video (probably their most catchiest song of all time).
4. Pa Pa Ya live (great hype song)
