BABYMETAL【SU-METAL (Vocal,Dance) / YUIMETAL (Scream,Dance) / MOAMETAL (Scream,Dance) 】
Formed in 2010. Their major debut single “ Ijme, dame, zettai" along with 2nd single “Megistune" both ranked in the Top 10 Oricon chart in Japan. In March 2014, they took to the stage of Nippon Budokan for a 2-Days gig making them the youngest female act to ever perform there. Their 1st studio album BAYBMETAL made it into the US Billboard chart. In summer of the same year, they embarked on their first World Tour, performing on the Main Stage at UK’s prodigious festival Sonisphere Festival 2014 in front of 65,000 festival goers, and supporting Lady Gaga on her “ArtRave: The Artpop Ball” 2014 Tour. In fall they were back for additional headline shows in Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City and O2 Academy Brixton, London. In January 2015, they headlined a show at the 20,000 capacities Saitama Super Arena, and in June 2015, they headlined a show at the 25,000 capacities Makuhari Messe. In summer of 2015, BABYMETAL received awards from prominent UK music magazines “Kerrang!” and “METAL HAMMER”. They then performed in front of a staggering 90,000 people at the prestigious Reading and Leeds Festival in August. This December, BABYMETAL are to take the stage again for 2 consecutive days at Japan’s Yokohama Arena pulling a total of 26,000 people before returning to the UK in April 2016 to headline London’s The SSE Arena, Wembley.

It was released in Japan on June 19, 2013, so that puts them at around 13-15 years old
Suzuka [main leader] was 15, Moa and Yui were 13/14 in Megitsune 2013.

Please reaction REVENGE THE FATE=KASHMIR
She actually pulls a knife out of the microphone holder during that scene and says: Maidens shouldn't be underestimated. :)
Su mentioned in an interview somewhat recently that she still has that microphone.
The literal translation is "if you disrespect me, it will be regrettable". It was copy from a film.
Su was 14 in this video. Yui and Moa were 12 or 13. This is also before the Kami Band was officially formed.
The song presents a great message about female empowerment, with lyrics about how women are expected to always look happy on the outside even if they are hurting on the inside, but the girls aren’t having any of that. The melody that Su is singing to shortly after the breakdown is also a Japanese folk song called “Sakura”.
Also, the whole part when Su pulls the blade out of the bottom of the mic she says Otome wa name tara ikan zeyo which basically translates to “if you underestimate women it would be regrettable”
ua-cam.com/video/eFZ_dTIc13c/v-deo.html Andrew Hartley, Professor, author and huge Babymetal fan does a complete breakdown, deep dive on this song. Symbolism, traditions, lyrics, music, background, all of it. Everything you would ever want to know about this song and its underlying meanings is right here.
I would say not expected, but strong enough to do so.
Eeeeeh.. not quite. Somewhat, but not quite.
It's more like "we lie (wear make-up and such) to keep the peace, but we're not actively trying to trick or deceive anyone (like a fox)"
or, shorter, "we're painting nicely, not maliciously"
Great reaction. I think you can see why 'Megitsune' regularly tops fan polls for their favourite BABYMETAL song even though it was one of their earliest. It is also the song they have played live more than any other and remains a feature on most of their live set lists.
Like Karate (which I don't think you have seen yet), 'Megitsune' reflects a lot of the Japanese culture starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen I think) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explain why all the fox masks) which in Japanese mythology are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) ... and they are strong.
The breakdown with the pig squeals uses the exact melody of an old and very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms).
When Su pulled the short blade (tanto) from her microphone she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). This is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
Much of the video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo. This has become a place of pilgrimage for BABYMETAL fans visiting Tokyo.
The 'Megitsune' music video and single came out on June 4th, 2013. Su was 15, and Yui and Moa were 13, (about to turn 14). Su will be 23 in December, Moa is 21.
The guys with the traditional instruments were dancers belonging to the group run by the lady who did the fan dance during the breakdown.
You forgot to mention they got a traditional blessing by a priest in a ceremony before making video or after ? .

🤘🦊🤘
@@martinmetal7481 Yes you're right, I did.
Kind of hard to go over everything about this song, there is sooo much on a deeper level that can be said. Could write a novel.
i sware you've copied and pasted this to every Babymetal reaction video, I admire your diligence.
@@Stormbless3d Only to the Megitsune reactions ;-)
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🦊 ⛩
To quote the BABYMETAL members in the audio commentary they did for this song:
[MOA] SU-METAL will slash you. Really.
[YUI] Yeah. [SU] (laughs).
The 'Megitsune' music video and single came out in June 2013.
Su was 15, and Yui and Moa were 13, (about to turn 14).
Even at that young age, it was their second major label single.
It's their most performed song, and frequently tops fan polls as the favorite.
The performers pretending to play the traditional Japanese instruments in this video are dancers with the Movement Design group.
Chidori Yakumo is their director. She is the woman performing the fan dance during the breakdown.
Shamisen (three stringed traditional instruments) are usually played with a plectrum, sort of like an enormous pick.
Hi. This song has so much cultural aspects which makes it one of the most representative of the BABYMETAL's legacy.
Ofc the Wa(Japanese) folk music into it (Sakura theme )
Yes, for sure, that's what makes Megitsune so special. Btw if anyone would like an in depth analysis of the cultural influences and background of this song I recommend AJ Hartley's video on it: ua-cam.com/video/eFZ_dTIc13c/v-deo.html
@@hedobannord1184 Hi. I am a big fan of that channel!
They filmed that video at a real shrine/temple too, imagine going there and finding THAT music being played^^
I don't know if someone pointed this out but during the pig squeal breakdown, Su is singing her verse like an old japanese folk song called sakura sakura.
The Band was Holding a Japanese instrument called Shamisen. The drummer was playing on "Taiko Drums"
depends on what era of japan history. but yes it is also called that.
They are not the Kami band BTW (in this video)
They are actors/dancers..
Yeah, as others have mentioned, it's just for the MV. They are cramming as many traditional elements in this MV as they can. :-)
"Maidens should not be underestimated" - Su pulls out a dagger😲
'Megitsune' is their most played song for concerts/shows and is a fan favourite (also one of mine). The Studioversion is excellent but also the Live is so energetic. Sometimes its used as showopener and crowd goes wild. Sore Sore Sore Sore!🦊🤘
Also i liked your in depth Pigsqueel analysis 😉🤘
„Name Tora ikanzio“ is also a phrase that Yakooza use
@@JoyMadrugada well, it's a quote from a famous Yakuza movie
I pity the fools if she unsheathed a real Wakizashi.
@@ChrisPage68 I'm imagining an Hattori Hanzo sword :-)
Always a fan favorite live, just like you said! I remember in the House of Blues in Chicago, both the band and girls, but also the crowd, also broke that place, because as you may know, even they get WAY more into the Sore dance live than in the video, and it goes WAY harder and further in distance :)
Forget the drums,lol...I was like nooooo, don’t interrupt that break down
same.. forget the drums
Suzuka nakamoto ( aka ) Su-metal i believe was only 14 yrs of age. and Yiu Mizuno ( aka ) YuiMetal, and Moa Kukichi ( aka ) MoaMetal were 12 or 13 yrs of age. Su-metal age 23 started singing at the age of 6 and was born 12/20/1997. Yui and Moa, both were born in 1999 Yui age 21 born 6/20/99 Moa age 21 born 7/4/99. If you wish to know more about these girls and the Kami band might i suggest this link. ua-cam.com/video/E9xRiOBG82w/v-deo.html
Su was 15.
Yui and Moa were each about to turn 14 when the video was released, followed shortly by the single.
Su is currently 22. She won't turn 23 until December 20th, 2020.
@@rickwagner- think a lot of the mistakes are because fans not many do not not know she was born December 1997 . It could be January and give her age as 23 . 🤘🦊🤘
@@martinmetal7481 That does seem to throw a lot of people off.
So glad they're now legal 😏❤️
Oh yes, the unhelpful guide but also helpful
The band was formed in 2010, with the original lineup of Su-metal 12yrs old (Vocal and Dance),Moa Kikuchi as " Moa-metal" 10yrs old (Scream and Dance), and Yui Mizuno as "Yui-metal" 10yrs old (Scream and Dance).
Kobametal, the band's producer and long-time heavy metal enthusiast, started planning to launch an idol/heavy metal fusion group in 2009 after he was impressed by Suzuka Nakamoto's performance with her previous group, Karen Girl's.
Babymetal's first live appearance was on November 28, 2010, at Sakura Gakuin's first solo concert, Sakura Gakuin Festival 2010.
The band's first single, "Doki Doki Morning", originally appeared on Sakura Gakuin's debut album Sakura Gakuin 2010 Nendo: Message.
A music video for the song was uploaded to Toy's Factory channel on UA-cam on 12 October 2011, and was released as a DVD single in late 2011, under the independent Toy's Factory sublabel Juonbu Records. The music video totaled over 1 million views by the end of 2012.
Link to their first official video - ua-cam.com/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/v-deo.html
nitpick: the dash in "su-metal" has phonetic meaning in japanese, and is intentionally omitted from "moametal" and "yuimetal".
I came for the reaction but stayed for LVT!!!!!
When she pulls out the knife from the mic and says (Otome wa nametara ikan zeyo.) "Maidens shouldn't be underestimated." now that's METAL...
#BABYMETAL earned ¥1.097 billion for 107,500 tickets sold on tour making them the #1 female artist in Japan and second in the biggest touring market in industry of year 2019.
They are also the most successful female group in history with no sexy concept.
You know, it's true. BABYMETAL just doesn't do sexy. And don't get me wrong; I love sexy, but that's just not them and I love them.
Babymetal literally stole the show at Glastonbury last year! Many in the crowd who didn’t know them were in a state of shock at their performance 👌
Check out the Metrock Festival 2015 performance of this song if you want to see the best version.
The hand gesture is a tribute to their fox god to whom they attribute the inspiration to all their music.
LVT had the right shirt for this song with it having girls on it. This song is about female power. If not mistaken megitsune means female fox. If not mistaken this video came out early 2013 but the song was in 2012. This video i heard in late 2013 and been hooked on Babymetal ever since. This song is still fan favorite and so good live. Tbe best version is from Tokyo Dome 2016 but you cant find it now. You would have to get the dvd to hear that. And LVT, you would be happy but one of the reason Babymetal was formed was to help women get into metal. A lot of their songs is for female power.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna disagree. Tokyo Dome ? How about for example Metrock 2015 ? Or Rock in Japan even. Or Red Mass
Metrock 2015: www.dailymotion.com/video/x5fak8n
@@autohmae yes both are good but to me Tokyo Dome with the crowd interaction, 55,000 strong is the best to me. But love the Metrock 2015 show. The crowd is insane. And red mass where all female crowd was cool too.
@@autohmae
If I have a time machine, Metrock 2015 was the one I would travel to next to Sonisphere 2014. Megitsune in that show was the epitome of an epic performance.
@@10Shun Better to go back to 2009 and take a book with sports results with you and win a lot of sports bets. Then you have the financial means to see all the Babymetal shows. ;-)
Japanese upper class women used to carry that type of knife with them to protect their chastities. They killed themselves to avoid sexual assault.
the woman dancing with the mask and fan is Babymetals choreographer. She was suppose to do the Olympics this year and Babymetal fans were hoping they would do the opening music. but due to covid sadly didn't happen.
"Meg-it-soon-ay" means Vixen (female fox)... Kitsune (kit-soon-ay) = fox, also known as Kumiho (koo-me-ho)= fox spirit. In the legends - when a fox spirit reaches 1000 years old it can change into a beautiful girl, who sets out to seduce young men and eat their heart or liver depending on the legend! 🦊👧🏼 Look out lads!!! 🤘😈.... I heard they were 13, 13 and 14. drums = taiko. They are holding shamisen (3-stringed lute) - played with a large pick.
You guys should react to Babymetal - Rondo of Nightmare with Kami Band's 'Mischief of Gods' intro...:P
Yes. The Fox God Demands It🦊🦊
The stringed instrument is a Shamisen, traditionally a wooden box covered in cat hide, same idea as a banjo, and plucked with a plectrum calld a bachi. Not the sticks tthey use on drums, which are called taiko drums.
The pig squeel is not su, and the melody in that section is a traditional folk song that goes back centuries called Sakura Sakura, a much beloved song in Japan. I can only imagie that section is akin to Hendrix doing the Star Spangled Banner.
The girls were 12-14 here. Su is somewhere between 5'1" and 5'2" today - she really hasn't grown taller. Yui and Moa shot up, Moa is just over 5' today. They are rather dimunitive for all they are giants on the stage.
That the other two "caught up" in height is also why Su got heels now while the other two get flats.
please MORE Babymetal 🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸🌸💓💓💞💞🌺🌺🍓🍓
With Headbanger my favorite Studio MV.The girls have said the choreography was the most difficult for them. The "band" are dancers and not playing the instruments. You noticed the Mic/Knife Su pulled she had in her hand for the entire video, most miss it. She said "Maiden are not to be underestimated" that is a line from a Japanese crime movie and the Crime Lord's daughter says it.
The stringed instrument is a Shamisen, If you want to heard a Master play it, checkout the Wagakki Band "Homera Akatsuki". You will need to strap in, as it will blow you away!
The studio video for "Headbanger" is a good one for you, they are younger. Also check "Doki Doki Morning Rehearsal" its in 2 parts behind the scenes plus perhaps their first on stage performance as Babymetal.
the shamisen is the instrument a geisha plays, pretty hard to play. btw haha, yea isnt it incredible? these 3 girls were starting their actual career with age of 4. theyve been casted for ads and shortly after started off into girlbands until this was created as fun sideproject in the same agency and now theyre conquering the world . highly talented.
If you want to see someone actually shred on a shamisen you should check out the Wagakki Band, a rock group that incorporates traditional instruments and vocals in their music.
This song always gets great responce from fans . In the breakdowñ of the song live .
Su speaks to the fans welcomes them and Moa and Yui ( now one of the Avengers ) interact with fans .
There was a surge in fans to get nearer . I got lifted across venue to right in front of Moa and got huge smile from her she is even more stunning close up live got smile from Momoko shortly after . All i need is to be on the receving end of death stare from Su follwed by a smile 🤘😁🤘❤❤❤
1st single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin. "Megitsune" was performed live on the Nippon Broadcasting System program MC Plus on June 4, 2013.
Directed by Takuya Tada (多田卓也), uploaded to the official Babymetal channel on June 4, 2013.
The music video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo; it is now a popular spot for Babymetal fans from outside Japan to visit. - Wikipedia
BabyMetal celebrating 10 year anniversary and Su turns 23 in December
5:51 Yui is so Kawaii
The girls first started in BABY METAL at the ages of 11 (Su-Metal) and 9 (Yui-Metal and Moa-Metal) and the screams are Yui, Moa also handles screams baby metal black are listed on notes as screams and dancers
The shamisen is a 3-string lute.drum is called Taiko
Late comment..You can hear Su say,...( the part where she covers her face with her hand)- the title of the song.. mek, 'a/ soon/ 'a...(meaning 'female fox '..Kitsune-a theme for the band or Fox God. The mask! They actually have a temple the 'Megitsune shrine' in Asagaya, Tokyo. Alot of BABY METAL's aurora is spiritual, Shinto,..the belief that all things hold a spirit, not so much as a religion, but a way of life in Japan.
Best Babymetal song, and M/V. Hands down. Man, I just can't get over Megitsune. Always gets me emotional. I LOVE IT! 🦊🖤
The string instrument was The shamisen or samisen and the drums are called the Taiko...They started with Doki Doki Morning at the age of 12 years old for Yui and Moa, Su was 14, I think...
Drums are called Taiko. Different sizes and they are played with mallets. The string instrument is the Tsugaru Shamisen. The pic looks like a rice paddle.
LVT: "I need a microphone that's really a knife in a sheath"
Teh world: uh-oh
ROFL
The Shamisen (banjo like) Instrument is played with what looks like a wooden version of a paint scraper.
Megitsune proper pronunciation:
MEH(メ)-GHEE(soft g, ギ)-TSU(ツ)-NEH (not ney, ネ= neh as in "never")
The traditional instruments are Shamisen (3 string banjo type instruments) and they use a very large pick that looks like a hair comb almost, and taiko drums that uses thick rounded ended drum sticks. The mime "band" is called the Hair band, and are just actor stand ins. The traditional song incorporated into this is called "Sakura sakura" (the breakdown part)
No, that was not Su doing the pig squeals lol! It's a backtrack. Video was released in June of 2013
Su was born December 1997, so that would make Su 15 years old and the other 2 girls born in June and July of 1999 were 13 about to turn 14.
BTW This video was made in a Temple in Tokio and the Monks agreed to let them make the shot if they promise to stay quiet so just imaging the Acting skills when the Instruments are off (just a little speaker bringing the song) and the Drumms are muted with rubber pads (can see it in the vid)..........this is even much more impressing!
Nice reaction again & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。 I believe you have already had necessary information from many fans especially Grington300 300, Rick Wagner, tiaopiack, Ray Collins etc. They are reliable and I have learned a lot from them including my country's culture.
One thing I can add. The guys behind the girls, who did not actually play instruments here (possibly actors), are holding 3 shamisens, but the first sound you heard at 01:07 is from not shamisen but koto (琴), Japanes harp.
As grington300 300 explained below, Su-Metal pulled the short blade from her microphone and said "Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated". At their concert in any country, the majority of the crowd are men. Young, old, hairy, bald, skinny, fat, tattooed ... many such mannish guys shout with Su "Maidens shouldn't be underestimated!" in Japanese (especially in UK). After married lives start, those guys come to realize this statement is true. Ha ha ha ! So did I 😢
"Megitsune" (メギツネ,) was released in Japan on June 19, 2013 as the fifth single from the album Babymetal. It is also the first single released independently from the idol group Sakura Gakuin. the full music video, directed by Takuya Tada (多田卓也), uploaded to the official Babymetal channel on June 4, 2013. When this video was release Su Metal was just 15 (16 if don't count birthday) while Yui Metal & Moa Metal was 13 (14 if don't count birthdays).
Unlike screams in traditional heavy metal, "Megitsune" is filled with festival chants by Yui Metal and Moa Metal like "wasshoi" and "sore sore", while Su Metal sings in the melodramatic style of enka.
Commentary from BabyMetal for this MV:
ua-cam.com/video/tXCC93Txtnw/v-deo.html
(MV: ua-cam.com/video/cK3NMZAUKGw/v-deo.html)
The music video was shot on location at the Asagaya Shinmei Shrine in Tokyo; it is now a popular spot for Babymetal fans from outside Japan to visit. The three members are shown dancing in Noh theater. In the last chorus,
The song contains lyrics such as "from the time of birth, women are actresses" which reflect on the song's theme of women remaining strong when living with their varied facial expressions. The song relates foxes, which disguises themselves for deception in Japanese mythology, to women, who disguise themselves with makeup. According to Su Metal. foxes are similar to women as they can keep their true feeling hidden, even through hard times, leaving a cool impression. The last chorus contains the phrase "underestimate [maidens] at your own peril" (なめたらいかんぜよ, nametara ikan ze yo, literally "if you underestimate, it would be regrettable"), which is also famously said by Masako Natsume's character in the 1982 yakuza film "Onimasa"; whether or not this was intentional has never been confirmed.
Nice reaction!
It's a strange song because it's an impossible song that combines metal and cute and Japanese style, but for some reason it's accepted without any discomfort.
please continue their reaction.
I recommend you "AKATSUKI ".
I looking forward to it.
IMO this is their best representative song. Its metal plus jpop. Its cute. It has scream in the form of pig squeals. One of the best breakdowns. And the melody is based on a traditional jp folk song. Lastly, her hardest song to do.
So, Japanese is easy to pronounce. A is always "ah", i is always "eee", u is always "ooh", e is always "eh" and o is "oh"
MEGITSUNE is "meh-geee-tsooh-neh". Translated it is a female fox, often seen as a trickster or deciever. " I am not a vixen, I am not a deceiver".
6:07 THE BEST PART , ,THAT FEELING IS AMAZING
One of my top 5 fave BabyMetal songs! Megitsune does not get enough credit for how hard it goes. The breakdown and everything after it is like a shot of adrenaline to the heart. I set a new deadlift PR to it the other day. 😅
The vocalist suzuka was born in 1997 so she was 16 there,yui is born 1999 so she was 14 but she left babymetal in october 2018 and moa is also born in 1999 .
this song is brutally beautiful
please watch the performance live of this song, is amazing!!! (megitsune legend 1997)
Good reaction again. You need watch this performance live. Is absolutely amazing!!! See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊 🖤
The chord instruments are called Shamisen
Who says you can't have a dance beat and pig squeals in the same song? (edit) Haha, this song has both pig squeals and pig tails. That has to be a first.
When they recorded their first single 'Doki Doki Morning' Su was 12 while Yui and Moa were 11. They were less than 12 on average :) Nobody expected Babymetal to turn into what it did. That's the most ridiculous thing about the people who accuse Babymetal of being some cynical plot to exploit metal music. Nobody expected this to happen. Lets get rich by turning a more popular genre into a less popular genre. And with 12 year old girls. Genius!
Foxes can have from one to nine tails
Exactly! To me, BABYMETAL were and in some ways still are, underdogs in the music world. And I am a sucker for a good underdog story! I wish there was a BABYMETAL documentary, similar to VH1's old "Behind The Music" TV show.
Sumetal was 16 in the video and the other two were 14.
While the "traditional instruments" are being played in the song, the actors in the background are actors, it was for "cinematic effect", they weren't actually playing them...
Glad you guys finally did thos song, great reaction as always.
This is the most popular song voted by fans until today, even this is from their earlier and now you can see why, the synth gonna stuck into your head, the breakdown is unbelievable and a song that represent them very well.
I forgot if you guys have done Karate or not, but if you haven't yet, go for KARATE DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL UK 2016 next,
Thx for the reaction, and keep the good work guys
taiko is the Japanese drum. the string instruments are called Shakuhachi
A shakuhachi is a kind of flute, usually made of bamboo.
Shamisen for the string instrument 😉
BABYMETAL - Amore - 蒼星 [LIVE PROSHOT]
I love how LVT won't miss a single BABYMETAL reaction xD.
She pronounces the name of the song in the song .. May geet soon ay .. great react guys .. you’re awesome LVT
If you are amazed by this music video then Megitsune live at Sonisphere will totally blow your mind! Excellent reaction guys....
Nice reaction!! Thank you for all the BM reaction videos!!
I think you're very right to watch the music video first. However, live shows are what BABYMETAL is really about. Megitsune is a very exciting song to play live show, and I highly recommend seeing the live version as well. You can feel the power of these women and the power of the audience.
- Megitsune (LIVE "LEGEND 1997" [SU-METAL Seitan Sai] 2013)
- Megitsune (LIVE "LEGEND 1999" [YUMETAL&MOAMETAL Seitan Sai] 2013)
- Megitsune Live @ Budokan Black Night
- BABYMETAL Megitsune at Glastonbury 2019
SUMETAL(vocal&dance) was born in 1997/12. YUIMETAL(scream&dance) was born in 1999/06. MOAMETAL was born in 1999/07. This music video was registered in 2013/06, so it is assumed that SU is 15 yrs old and YUI & MOA are 13 yrs old.
I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL.
Put your Kitsune🦊 up!
from Japan. (Translation by DeepL)
Megitsune is a song full of Japan. From here on down, if you're interested in Japan, take a look.
Megitsune(女狐) is a female fox.
me = 女 = female
kitsune = 狐 = fox
There are many animals in Japan that are God's apostles. Foxes, Deer, Crows, Snakes... There is also a shrine dedicated to the fox god.

When Japanese people hear the word "Megitsune", they do not think of the animal fox. In Japan, it has long been said that foxes transform into humans and trick people. Foxes are considered to be bewitching, mysterious and cunning creatures. "Megitune" contains this meaning.
The lyrics say "はじけてドロンして(hajikete doron shite)", They're singing about a fox transforming with a leaf on its head. If you can picture the ninja disappearing with the smoke, it's about the same.
"コンコン(kon kon) is the animal sound of the fox in Japan.
The first instrument used is the 三味線(shamisen). The shamisen is a stringed instrument shaped like a guitar. The shamisen is a representative musical instrument of Japan. Since the shamisen was born 500 years ago, it is a new instrument among Japanese musical instruments.
The drums are "太鼓(taiko)". It's a 小太鼓(kodaiko)(=small drum) because it's small. Or, it's called a 鼓(tuzumi).
"それそれ(sore sore)" and "わっしょい(wasshoi)" are the shouts that are used when carrying a omikoshi(お神輿=portable shrine) during a japanese traditional festival. PAPAYA is also omatsuri(festive) metal, but so is this song.
The song used in the breakdown is "さくら さくら(Sakura Sakura)" and it's about 150 years old. sakura means cherry blossom.

A woman wearing a kimono and a fox mask is dancing in a 日本舞踊(nihon buyou=Japanese traditional dance).
The dagger planted in the microphone is a 懐刀(futokoro katana) or 懐剣(kai ken), a sword that women used to insert into the 帯(obi) of a 着物(kimono). 帯(obi) is sash belt.
This music video was shot at this shrine.

能楽殿(Nougakuden) is is the place to dance 能(Noh). 能(noh) is the oldest theatrical art in Japan with its origin goes back to 14th century. Incidentally, the 3 princesses said it was hot as a sauna in this place when they shot Megitsune.
Megitsune is such a cool and unique song. It’s the song that defines BABYMETAL, in my opinion, no other band could do that. It features so many of their staple elements, both traditional and modern tunes and visuals, beautiful melodies and really heavy parts, an inspiring message, energetic and contagious dancing (with the choreography also integrating some very cool traditional Japanese moves), great vocals, adorable smiles... What other band could offer a package like that?
If this got you interested in the first phase of BABYMETAL, please check out their very first release „Doki Doki Morning“: ua-cam.com/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/v-deo.html
Great reaction, Megitsune is one of my favirite Babymetal song.
YESSS my favorite Babymetal song! It's the one that got me into the foxhole. I love all Babymetal songs, but my alltime fave will always be this one, it holds a special place in my heart. Great reaction!
But please please please guys check out Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse, I think you'll really love that too.
"Don't you DARE pause that!" and "I didn't realize there was that much depth to a pig squeal." lol new sub here.
Another great reaction to Babymetal, thank you very much for this. And please continue your journey down into the wonderful foxhole, there is still more to discover. A lot of love and respect from a german Kitsune 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼. Please stay healthy and metal you all.
Doki doki morning was their first song when sumetal was 12 (in 2010) and other two girls yuimetal and moametal was eleven and megitsune released in 2013
Edit: The Japanese percussions are called Taiko
See this now... Su is a master at crowd control! #Awesome!!!
absolutely amazing and wonderful 💞
ok, the knife is a "Tanto" i think...
the band holding "shamisen" (guitar)...
the drumset looks like a mix of a set of TSUZUMI, 2x NAGADO DAIKO, SHIME DAIKO's and a MOKUGYO.
that's all traditional japanes drums.
google know this kind of thinks 😉😛🤣🤣
Told you this song would blow your mind lol :). Go back to Doki Doki Morning to see them even younger. Doki Doki Morning was their first single, way back in 2011. What I love about BabyMetal the most is they continue, song by song to push boundaries of what is "accepted" to be the norm for Metal music. They have rap, Bollywood, Power Ballads, Sea Shanty type, etc etc. When other bands say Why, BabyMetal say Why Not? Honestly, they never cease to amaze me, and virtually every song is different from every other song. The losses of Mikio and YuiMetal in 2018 was a huge loss to the band, which I still feel cannot and has not be filled.I also just want to mention the drummer Hideko Aoyama...the man isnt human, he is a machine. The double kick pedal work is out of this world...
Love the work guys (and lady), keep up the reactions.
LVT & DURTY D, PLEASE react to the BABYMETAL video titled "BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night"....I know you two will love the Kami Band solos! And you guys will be able to see the guitars, 6 string bass, and drums they use really well.
I liked it when one them went "don't you dare pause it >:} " lol
.This Song came out in 2014 Suzuka (Su-Metal) 16, Moa (Moa-Metal)& Yui (Yui-Metal) both are 15 when this came out.
the instruments for the video are just props :)
"don't you dare pause it!" Aaaand advertisement paused it for me instead xD
I liked the moment best when you said "I need one".
I like how Durty D is so into the performance that he misses some of the things that LVT says to him! LOL! Same thing kind of happened when they reacted to "Distortion - Live at Download" together!
So funny to go back and rewatch this 6 months later knowing how far down the Foxhole y'all ended up. You even have the brass stones to do the hardcore Sakura Gakuin stuff. I love it. It's been a fun ride.
There is a reason that this is one of, if not the one, that fans of Babymetal chose as their favorite song. Keep up the great reactions to Babymetal, but if you have an interest in traditional Japanese instruments mixed in with metal I would recommend reaction to Wagakki Band
Thanks for the reaction. This was the first video of theirs I ever watched. Watched more videos and fell in love with their music.
I do have to say that I about spit my drink everywhere when you were trying to pronounce Megitsune. I've heard it pronounced many different ways but never like that. lol Its all good. Keep those reactions coming.
ゆいちゃんの可愛さ全国共通
Its only like 7 or 8 years ago, and they started around 13
Perfect reaction to a perfect song in a perfect music video.
Imo this is the ultimate BABYMETAL song, it has everything that is BABYMETAL!
I don't know if between all the explanations anyone actually said that "Megitsune" means Vixen, female fox, as opposed to the other Japanese spirit, the Kitsune, which is the male fox. Both are tricksters and shapeshifters. So that's fun, cause they do have the fox god (which is Kitsune).
So that was Sui doing the pig squeal.
The stringed instrument you're talking about is called a shamisen.
Check out their official music videos in chronological order starting with Doki Doki morning then ine (in-eh) spelled Line.
play the song no rain no rain bow legend 1999 (live) .... you will see how tiny these three devils are ... and when this song is finished singing ... your feelings will be SAD but HAPPY ... this is baby metal madness 😍
Please play baby metal .
no rain no rainbow live legend 1999 ...
Imo it's the least good version (don't want to say worst bc it's still good), guitars are too loud in the mix. Legend S or Tokyo Dome are better renditions imho 😅
Amanziiing😍😍😍
No #1 hardest slapping song from them in my opinion !
BABYMETAL is always about depth and blowing your mind.
Megitsune is Top Tier! OG BM!
BABYMETAL
🤘🤘🤘
All hail The Fox God
Watch this live ,and you'll get both eyegasm & eargasm . Guaranteed
Rondo of Nightmare time...
@ Native instruments the ROLAND HPD was supperior for 20 years @ more than 600 Instruments in it with D-Beam and Ribbon Controller + Multi Effects and you can play everything with it from Metal/Classic/D&B/Techno/HH aso aso aso!
We musicians just got wild BC they KILLED the HPD-15 and just have the 10 left wich is like the 15 in a Weelchair!.....I could do all the Japanese Instruments as well @ over 600 Instruments included.....this was a Masterpiece in Drumming and Percussion.....and I`ve seen it on the International Music Con 2000 in Frankfurt and payed 3500DM for it and never regreted this decision!
So there are a few things that people haven't mentioned yet (but not many). First, you should also check out the live version of this. What is really fun about the MANY live performances of this song is that during the breakdown when Su is singing the low tone near the end, she is typically holding a fox mask in front of her (the vocals for that part are part of the backing track). As it finishes, Moa - who is on Su's left during performances of this - stands up and will do something to try and make Su crack up laughing. It's really funny to watch. She'll either try to mouth something funny, blow her a kiss, or something of the like. It is very fun and cute to see them having fun and joking around (although Moa does get on Su's nerves sometimes with her antics onstage).
Also, at the 5:21 point of the video you see Moa come at the camera and then disappear. It's because she tripped and fell during that shot. She was fine and made comments about it during the audio commentary for the video. Once it is seen, it can't be unseen, just like the stomp that D mentioned happened in the video.
Su voice has improved so crazy she sounded so "normal" idk BUT NOW some say she's the "queen" of metal n her voice now is so different in a million better ways.
