Glad to see this interview, but just makes me wonder if was there anything that came from Band-Maid meeting back in 2022? I thought the same people were there.
So awesome. I love that they left the parts in where Momo struggled with her words, and Su and Moa were so patient with her. They gave her a look of encouragement, she composed herself and finished what she wanted to say. It was so real and authentic. It didn't make Momo look bad. It came across as endearing and charming. She doesn't have as much experience at this as Su and Moa. But she will get better and better. I loved every minute of it ❤🦊
@@dicodec it's one of the first times I've seen her interviewed as a member of the group. I bet she was, I would be too. I'd love to hear more from her.
If the song Karate had taught us anything it's that these girls have got each other's backs. The total opposite of the manipulative backstabbing women in the West.
The humility in Moa's response is still there. Never grown old. You can tell also through Su's answer and enthusiasm. I am very happy of Momo now that her dream is coming to life; touring and performing around the world with BM. Yui, we miss you but your legacy lives on with them always. 😊
Momometal being that nervous that even makes her forgets what she's about to say and recovering that fast (she even does tiny cute gestures to calm herself down) makes me like her even more. Thank God I live in the same time as Babymetal.
Moa is right - I was twelve when I discovered Babymetal (in 2014) and it ignited my love for music. I adore them, so much, they're my favourite band in the world. I saw then with Sabaton in April (I wasn't old enough to go in 2020), and I adore Momoko, and I absolutely cannot wait to see them in December! They work so hard and they deserve the world.
Only recently became a fan of BABYMETAL, and saw them in Houston. It is now a goal in my life to see them in a big area show in Japan! Also, I never thought I'd hear someone say that performing in an open air venue in the Florida heat and humidity would be "refreshing"! These girls are hardcore!
If there was a sacred sanctuary of Fox God, Moa would certainly be its keeper. She has always shown so much passion and respect for Babymetal' concept (on stage and at interviews).
I was at the Babyklok show in NYC in September. I had gone for Dethklok, and had never listened to BABYMETAL before. They absolutely blew my mind. What really stood out to me was the energy from the fans. The whole Hammerstein crowd was going bananas. Amazing experience, and I've been listening to them for a month solid now.
Ok! Iv been a Metalhead since 1980 I was 15.listened to everyone! And past 10 years been Full of Sreaming, Gurgling, Growling, got Boring Fast! Thank The music gods for this band! Su is Amazing clean vocals and the dancers and Band killing it! Bravo!🥰👏👏👏😘
On the same boat as you brother. I´m 50, what drag me into metal was Live After Dead 85 VHS from Iron Maiden, and I must say that, besides IM and Metallica, nothing made me feel energized like Babymetal did, its almost spiritual :)
100% YES WE MUST PROTECC OUR ANGEL OF JOY Momoko had some big (tiny) shoes to fill with Yui's retirement and she has knocked it out of the park! I finally got to see her up close in Texas in August and she really is an absolute treasure, just happy to be here 😃
uh, she's not that great. Yet. She fumbled in her replies, multiple times. She needs more training, although she's always been kinda forgetful, even before her time in BABYMETAL. But that side-eye Su gave her at her final fumble 😵😅
Momo is doing great and Su & Moa is working with her ... Su & Moa is pleased with her and Momo is staying with Baby Metal facts 💯 just to let everyone know 😉
As a long time metal head from way way back, I was burned out and disappointed with the direction metal went in the 90s. Babymetal got me back into metal and music in general. Their music, choreography and upbeat attitudes are really refreshing. They're the best thing to happen to metal in a long long time.
Momo is pretty much Su and Moa's kid now. She's like if you combined the two's personalities together. It's really sweet they're so supportive of her during the falters in her speech.
You'd think, but "baby" Momoko was just really shy because she's not at all used to such interviews while Su & Moa have been doing these Western press junkets since at least 2015. Momoko is a massive goofball and chaos agent
Yes I agree! Of course she also has her own distinct traits, but some parts of her personality are a combination of Su & Moa. I think that just shows how she was destined to be in this group. She still feels nervous since this is her first video interview overseas, but I think when she gets more comfortable we will get to see more of her personality :)
@@mnstpkrg_7 Most definitely of course. She's just as bubbly and smiley as Moa on stage (possibly even more so, which I didn't even know was humanly possible), and she, like Su, has this kinda unique quirky personality type where she says/does things only she understands, but people around her don't really get it (ie: her comedy). I'm sure she fits extremely well into the banter they've got behind the scenes.
It's easy to forget that Su and Moa not only have 9 years of experience on stage over Momo, but also concerning handling themselves in interviews. Su and Moa (and Yui) have all been flustered by a certain situation or question during an interview at one time in the past. Momoko now has to hit the ground running in that sense, so to speak. I love how Su and Moa look at her as if to say: "It's OK, relax, you've got this."
She had 3 years of experience in Sakura Gakuin before she joined Babymetal. She was known as the funny girl who always flubbed her lines and messed up her joke deliveries. Which just made her more funny.
They used to say they are maybe more nervous for interviews, because they have a lot more experience and very prepared to be performing on stage. Interviews they don't do as much.
@@ForAnAngel Momoko was only in SG for 3 years (Aiko was the 5th-year senior and Megumi had 4 years), but your description is spot-on. Her failure to land jokes just made it funnier. That plus her infamous Nendo Tests. This IS the same girl who auditioned for Kep1er by playing Blackpink on a kazoo. She's nuts and I love her!
@@Soufriere84 You're right of course, I posted that late last night and wasn't thinking clearly. My favorite Momo moment was her ridiculous Sakurademy audition at the 2017 SG festival.
Been waiting for this and wasn't disappointed. They've gone past becoming Super Ladies, they are Super Legends 🌸🤘🏼 MOMOMETAL is doing great, her nervousness was too adorable to handle and she absolutely stole my heart 🥹🍑
@@Zedem0n You never saw her in their former group Sakura Gakuin, then. Momoko is quite capable of playing to a script, improvising, and speaking on the fly (all in one show), so she legit was super nervous here. You can't really blame her since I'm pretty sure this is her first American interview while Moa & Su have 9 years of experience dealing with Western press. That alligator comment is trademark Momoko 😂
I did not think it was possible for them to be even more humble and genuine than I already thought, but they proved me wrong! Momo's hesitation in answering shows just how unscripted this was and was my favorite part of this interview. Can't wait to see them again soon!
What a nice interview. It was nice to see the ladies given a little more free reign to speak their minds. Moa’s very typically Japanese and humble answers were very nice, downplaying just how huge they are and what pioneers for female Japanese metal, and you could also say female metal, Japanese music or just the whole metal genre they have become. Momoko was absolutely adorable. As she’s still new to being a full member, you can see how nervous, but happy and excited she is. Her little “rabbit in the headlights” moment and the looks of support from Su and Moa was such a nice moment. Momoko is clearly everything the band needed and is a perfect fit. That’s a combination of her natural ability and personality, but also the fact that she worked her butt off to earn that role from the avenger days. She didn’t just fall into the role. She worked damn hard and became a favourite with the fans who could see the effort she was putting in. It’s fantastic to see her hard work paying off and to see her clearly having the time of her life. Go Momoko!
Thank you for your amazing comment and I aloud the interview to breath and I left in all the natural moments even my slip up when I was asking about being back in the same venue. Momo was simply adorable and I can see why the fans are embracing her.
sooo happy to finallyyy get another video interview like this 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 they’re all so precious. their answers were soo good as well, they’re really professionals. I especially loved their answers to the pioneer question, as well as how they mentioned seeing more girls and younger people in their crowds
Finally got to see them this year after almost a decade of not getting my schedule to sink with theirs. Was fantastic. One of the few acts I want to go see again. Only Nightwish and Rage Against the Machine have instilled that desire in me before. Worth every penny.
These three may be the hardest working artists in show business. They deserve all the praise and accolades they recieve. They've brought a lot of music and love into the world!!
@@alfredosilvaneto - What constitutes the 'real' band, in your opinion? (Since the musicians you see performing onstage aren't the songwriters, either)
Love the interview. Nice to see the little "left in " parts, which many would have edited out. Made it feel more personal. More genuine. I was smiling from the beginning, watching these amazing young iconic ladies speak, but the final laugh after "Only the Fox God knows."....GOLD!!!
The show was great and I really felt old seeing all the young people waiting in line. !! I'm 76 and probably was the oldest one there. I got balcony seats because I knew the floor was going to be a zoo.......and I was right. It was nice to see some of my YT favorite reactors there. I've been following BM for about 6 or 7 years now and they've become a real force.
@@deacon45 It was the same thing when I went to see Band Maid three times between October 2022 and August 2023. But it was well worth it. I'm hanging on to see Wagakki Band when they come here again, among other groups, SCANDAL and Glim Spanky in particular.
Just caught a really interesting interview with Korn's tour manager talking about Babymetal. Not often you get that kind of backstage access. However it really brings to light how word gets around here. It's an interesting perspective coming from within the industry. I really wish we got more of these days. So hearing more media exposure now is justification for all their hard work. Anyways my first exposure to Babymetal was actually through Takayoshi Ohmura. Who plays in Marty Friedman's band. Kinda blew my mind when i discovered this. That one of the Kami Band's lead guitarists has direct personnel connections to a Megadeath legend. Ladies are just full of suprises here!! I finally got to see them in Vegas with Dethklok. Which was f*** unreal. So much better live then i was expecting here. Totally worth my time & money spent. Thank you for covering this story here!! 🤘🦊🔥
My favorite moments: 1:28 "We are BABYMETAL!" 3:40 "I saw you here 14 yrs ago..." 11:30 Momo.exe has stopped working 12:19 "OTFGK" I love seing Babymetal doing interviews, It's rare but always a delight. They all sounded very natural, and also had intelligent responses
So glad to finally see this! Three weeks ago I saw them in Seattle and it was everything I hoped for. I love them and their music, really changed my life completely. And so happy Alan from Dicodec got to meet them too.
The sweetest young women in showbusiness. It’s no wonder everyone who has ever met them love them. Also, they all pretty much understand English but answering in Japanese eliminates misunderstandings which is fair enough.
The bond they’ve developed is the most adorable and wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. Momo has worked so hard for this and Su and Moa encouraging her when she was unsure of what else to say is absolutely wholesome🥰
They made me love music again. Went through some things, stopped writing music and listening as much. I recently discovered Babymetal and the connection I feel to their music is something I haven't felt in a long time. I adore them. Words cant express how thankful I am to Babymetal for bringing that spark back into my life!
I can agree with you. They came along into my life when music wasn’t really in my life anymore. They brought music back to me and for this they will be one of my absolute favorite bands. And luckily I was able to interview them 2 times and that just solidified my appreciation for them by seeing how much they loved what they were doing. Their passion reignited mine.
It is nice to have a video interview with eng. subs again, after so long. More of this Team BM and FOX 5 please. The girls lovely as always, glad to see them laughing and having so much fun on stage and even during interviews. 🙃
These girls are such great performers, hard workers, sweet and humble. Fantastic role models for young women. I wish them nothing but success and will be cheering for them from the audience and online.
I LOVE Babymetal! Been listening to them for a couple of years now. This coming from a person that has listened to thrash metal, death metal, and other various kinds of metal for 45+ years.
How awesome was that? How humble and appreciative they (still) are! Momo being part of Babymetal and having a now voice, as nervous as she (understandably) was...is so endearing! I wish them continued success and can't wait for whatever surprises they have in store for "The One"!
And as usual, Moa's eyes are glued to Su's hair! It's cute how Momo is still learning the art of the interview. She'll nail it. It just takes experience.
Its not about being first or the most famous but being unique and then withstand the test of time. Every genre has legends but there are legends that transcends genres
Adorable, real people. It shows that Su and Moa are way preapered for this. But still very, very genuine and exited to share some thoughts. No matter how much their team "train" them, they're still just naturally can't hide some emotions 😊 That's the best thing - Be yourself... And Momo did just that❤. Thank you BABYMETAL-san that you're here.
I've been a fan of Momoko's since her final year in Sakura Gakuin (2017) so I can say it's very difficult for Momoko to NOT be herself -- she's a happy-pill, a comedienne at heart, and cares A LOT about the quality of her stage work.
"If you could say one thing to Babymetal, what would you say?" I'd say, Babymetal changed mine and many other people's lives. Since NYC in 2014, my life has never been the same. The Babymetal fandom community is one of a kind and I'm honored and proud to be a part of it. From it, I've made the best friends I've ever had. We've traveled to places we never thought we'd visit. Made friends around the world! We all have this connection to what Babymetal's message is in their music. Uplifting, encouraging, happy, festive metal music that is very VERY much needed in this dark world we live in. Babymetal equals Love. Metal Love! You bring people of all ages and backgrounds together as The One. And THAT'S why we love Babymetal. P.S. Gotta also thank the man responsible for all this, Kei Kobayashi aka Koba-Metal. Thank you man. ❤❤
It feels so rare to be able to see and hear an interview with them instead of reading one, so thank you so much for doing this. And a big thank you to the BM management team for agreeing to do this. I hope to see more of these in the future :D
Welcome! Personally I’ve been a fan of BabyMetal since 2013 and they seem to be getting more and more amazing. I did this interview and meeting them was amazing!
Momo lost for words, the support from Su and Moa, is perfect Babymetal, Momo is a perfect fit and so adorable. They connect with everyone as a trio ,and their songs are uplifting and crazy fun! just like the girls and Kami Band.
Thank you so much for your amazing comment. I did this interview to show the world that Japan has amazing talent and to show the humility of these amazing young ladies. This interview was amazing to do and I will never forget how sweet these young ladies were to me, and my crew. Thank you again
I love how much they keep maturing through the years. You can see how much love they have for their craft and so aware and appreciative of everything it brings. Su and moa really shows the large amount of experience they had from the band. I'm so glad to see Momo adjusting nicely and enjoying the performances they do, she'll have more experiences in the future and I can't wait to see more of her growth.(though she's already very capable now)
well this is certainly a surprise, but a very welcome one, love to see BABYMETAL doing interviews, i shall definitely spend the rest of my night enjoying the amazing experience that is BABYMETAL, again, and many more times after that, best band to ever exist if you ask me.
Yui hid because she was shy, Momoko froze because she was nervous... the tradition of a not very easy-going member is saved!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 ... and the story of alligators 🐊🐊🐊... OMG!!!!
It was absolutely amazing! I've been waiting since 2014 to see Babymetal live and I was not disappointed. I've been to a lot of shows but this was the best show I've ever been to!!! I'm so thrilled I was able to attend❤
I love it when Momo feels confused about saying the word, it looks cute. I was happy to see them during their Asia World Tour in Jakarta and with all the enthusiastic crowds. Thank you for your hard work. Hope you guys come back to Jakarta, Sampai Jumpa 🤘🏻
Back in 2016 my daughter went to her first babymetal concert. She was 6. A great age to go to a babymetal concert. We won’t get to see them this time because they are t playing locally and she can’t miss school this time as she is now in high school, but we did see them in LA in 2019 and hope to see them when they tour again.
Thank you for sharing I have been lucky to have interviewed these very sweet ladies 2 times and see them 2 times. Took my daughter to her first show last month and she is totally a fan now. 🤘😁
Just got done watching Joe, Alan, and Eric talking about this interview. Have watched multiple videos of the Kingslayer live collaboration, and am beyond thrilled for these amazing young ladies and the incredible year that they have had. Seeing them live myself was like a dream now, and I am anxiously awaiting their future activities. They mean the world to me.
I’m really glad Smiley’s made her dreams come true,she deserves everything success will bring her and her presence as a full member has really strengthened BM. ❤
I spent this entire video looking for myself because I was about 5th on line to get in from about 9:30am ... (yes, it's all about me lol) ... but being at the rail it was the greatest show of my life. At one point Momo smiled at me and my knees started to shake and I damn near fell down.
Sorry I didn’t get you on camera but more important that you got to the rail. I was in the first balcony and I wish I was where you were. Amazing show and BMC was my favorite song of the night. What was your favorite song that night?
@@alexperez3367 Very similar to MLB player Shohei Otani. He is humble, professional, and equally young. They are two great stars who express the virtues of the Japanese.
Thank you for the interview. Babymetal thank you for the amazing music and shows. I got to see them for my first time here in Atlanta. Thanks to Babymetal I have discovered a lot of awesome bands and music from Japan. Long live Babymetal!🤘🔥😁❤
She's said this in a few interviews now - I suspect she thinks if she says it enough it will be true. Sadly, she's a part of the short adult club, now. She's taller than me, though, and I wish her the very best of luck in achieving the height she envisions for herself. 😂❤
I love how they used Dicodec in the intro as "This is what rock and metal sounds like in the past..." Quick! Someone run and go tell Alan @Dicodec! Also, that "OTFGK" in the end, was just hilariously awesome LOL! 🤘🦊
thanks for the interview 4:58 myyyyyy girl momo I can’t she is so happy and nervous like she smiled all the time 😿 and sumoa looked at her like their cute baby 😭keep going my girls i will support u as much I can 💗💗💗💗💗💗
That already occurred! April 2nd, Babymetal Begins - Clear Night. From their concert Blu Ray. They finally played the full Babymetal Death again, with Momometal Desu!
I love these ladies and it is so great to watch the videos and see their career evolving. It's an amazing story. I finally got to see them live in Wallingford, CT, and it was a thrill. I had tears in my eyes when they first came out on stage. This is a good interview, the ladies are very diplomatic as well as thoughtful and well spoken.
On Sunday, Joe the interviewer and I will be talking about the interview and the behind the scenes on what happened.
Dicodec! Thank you for all you do for the metal community and for helping bring more exposure to these amazing artists.
Love your content!

Glad to see this interview, but just makes me wonder if was there anything that came from Band-Maid meeting back in 2022? I thought the same people were there.
Look forward to it! But hey, Alan: How does a guy that called them "Triplets" get to interview them? I am sooooo jealous 🦊🦊🦊
Be looking forward to it brother, keep this momentum going!! Much respect!🤘
Whoa! US media exposure!?
BABYMETAL has worked so hard for this! They deserve this spotlight. Thank you for making this piece!
They are one of my favorite bands so doing this was my way of saying thank you to them. Please share this with everyone. The band is watching.
Their big enough this is only minor light given if any subbed to this channel knows them and cares.

Was nice to see Momo had a moment near the end. Let's go BABYMETAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey brother thanks for stopping by, if you could share this link with your fans I would really appreciate it.

Only recently became a fan of BABYMETAL, and saw them in Houston. It is now a goal in my life to see them in a big area show in Japan! Also, I never thought I'd hear someone say that performing in an open air venue in the Florida heat and humidity would be "refreshing"! These girls are hardcore!
Lmao I agree totally hardcore
The members of Babymetal are always gracious, classy, beautiful, and are hard-working young women with sparkling personalities. Love them.
Meanwhile the average American woman weighs the same as these three combined and yet still walks around in barely anything. Vomit.
and gets offended if someone compliments their looks yet these girls would say 'thank you' and actually take a compliment
wow that took a dark turn 😅
@redcatofdeath Spot. On. Sadly
@@redcatofdeathshut up

BABYMETAL doesn't do a lot of talking at their live shows, so I'm glad to see videos like this!
Really happy you enjoyed this. It was one of the most fun interviews I’ve done.
Been waiting for this and wasn't disappointed. They've gone past becoming Super Ladies, they are Super Legends 🌸🤘🏼

They are the absolute best. I was at that Orlando concert. What a great show!
Nice segment and well edited. Enjoyed that and it's nice to see how grateful and humble they still are after all these years.

Momoko was absolutely adorable. As she’s still new to being a full member, you can see how nervous, but happy and excited she is. Her little “rabbit in the headlights” moment and the looks of support from Su and Moa was such a nice moment. Momoko is clearly everything the band needed and is a perfect fit. That’s a combination of her natural ability and personality, but also the fact that she worked her butt off to earn that role from the avenger days. She didn’t just fall into the role. She worked damn hard and became a favourite with the fans who could see the effort she was putting in. It’s fantastic to see her hard work paying off and to see her clearly having the time of her life. Go Momoko!
Thank you for your amazing comment and I aloud the interview to breath and I left in all the natural moments even my slip up when I was asking about being back in the same venue. Momo was simply adorable and I can see why the fans are embracing her.
Typically Japanese. Lmao, goodness
sooo happy to finallyyy get another video interview like this 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏 they’re all so precious. their answers were soo good as well, they’re really professionals. I especially loved their answers to the pioneer question, as well as how they mentioned seeing more girls and younger people in their crowds
I was at this show and saw the Fox 5 truck outside when the show was over. So cool that they have this exposure. The show was incredible!
You should have come over and said Hello...
@@joeseconi250Next time for sure!
@@lewissmith8897 looking forward to it. 🤘
Finally got to see them this year after almost a decade of not getting my schedule to sink with theirs. Was fantastic. One of the few acts I want to go see again. Only Nightwish and Rage Against the Machine have instilled that desire in me before.
Worth every penny.
Babymetal is my favourite band, i love them so much! They are the best.
These three may be the hardest working artists in show business. They deserve all the praise and accolades they recieve. They've brought a lot of music and love into the world!!
they are not the band. the real band does not get the credit they deserve...
@@alfredosilvaneto - What constitutes the 'real' band, in your opinion? (Since the musicians you see performing onstage aren't the songwriters, either)
Great interview. Thank you so much! It is so nice to see they still seem humble and still have goals to achieve. Looking forward to more.
Please share this link and we can show the band the US loves them and it will go along way to getting another interview.
Love the interview. Nice to see the little "left in " parts, which many would have edited out. Made it feel more personal. More genuine. I was smiling from the beginning, watching these amazing young iconic ladies speak, but the final laugh after "Only the Fox God knows."....GOLD!!!
The show was great and I really felt old seeing all the young people waiting in line. !! I'm 76 and probably was the oldest one there. I got balcony seats because I knew the floor was going to be a zoo.......and I was right. It was nice to see some of my YT favorite reactors there. I've been following BM for about 6 or 7 years now and they've become a real force.
I know how you feel. I'm 78 and when I went to see MItzki a couple years ago, I wear I was the only person over forty in that crowd!
@@deacon45 It was the same thing when I went to see Band Maid three times between October 2022 and August 2023. But it was well worth it. I'm hanging on to see Wagakki Band when they come here again, among other groups, SCANDAL and Glim Spanky in particular.
Seen BabyMetal in concert! Awesome! This is the first time I have heard Momometal talk! She is great!
Nice seeing them doing an interview again. Hope to see some more down the road with some more MOMOKO questions!!
Just caught a really interesting interview with Korn's tour manager talking about Babymetal. Not often you get that kind of backstage access. However it really brings to light how word gets around here.
It's an interesting perspective coming from within the industry. I really wish we got more of these days. So hearing more media exposure now is justification for all their hard work.
Anyways my first exposure to Babymetal was actually through Takayoshi Ohmura. Who plays in Marty Friedman's band. Kinda blew my mind when i discovered this.
That one of the Kami Band's lead guitarists has direct personnel connections to a Megadeath legend. Ladies are just full of suprises here!!
I finally got to see them in Vegas with Dethklok. Which was f*** unreal. So much better live then i was expecting here. Totally worth my time & money spent. Thank you for covering this story here!! 🤘🦊🔥
Thank you for the compliment I appreciate that alot
My favorite moments:
1:28 "We are BABYMETAL!"
3:40 "I saw you here 14 yrs ago..."
11:30 Momo.exe has stopped working
12:19 "OTFGK"
I love seing Babymetal doing interviews, It's rare but always a delight. They all sounded very natural, and also had intelligent responses
I had the exact same look at "14 years ago" 😂😂
at least my mess up made them laugh lol
@@joeseconi250you did great
@@joeseconi250good job!!
@@dustra5000 Thank you that means alot to me
So glad to finally see this! Three weeks ago I saw them in Seattle and it was everything I hoped for. I love them and their music, really changed my life completely.
And so happy Alan from Dicodec got to meet them too.
The sweetest young women in showbusiness. It’s no wonder everyone who has ever met them love them. Also, they all pretty much understand English but answering in Japanese eliminates misunderstandings which is fair enough.
I love Babymetal I've been a fan for years and I'm glad to finally see a more personal interview for fans outside of Japan 🦊❤
I love momometal so much she's so cute when answering the interview questions
The bond they’ve developed is the most adorable and wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. Momo has worked so hard for this and Su and Moa encouraging her when she was unsure of what else to say is absolutely wholesome🥰
I'm kind of excited that Momometal has the mic.
They made me love music again. Went through some things, stopped writing music and listening as much. I recently discovered Babymetal and the connection I feel to their music is something I haven't felt in a long time. I adore them. Words cant express how thankful I am to Babymetal for bringing that spark back into my life!
I can agree with you. They came along into my life when music wasn’t really in my life anymore. They brought music back to me and for this they will be one of my absolute favorite bands. And luckily I was able to interview them 2 times and that just solidified my appreciation for them by seeing how much they loved what they were doing. Their passion reignited mine.
Seen them in Boston last month, great show! Will go again when they return!
Wow. Didn't expect to see them here. Congratulations ladies.
Most original group in popular music today.
It is nice to have a video interview with eng. subs again, after so long. More of this Team BM and FOX 5 please. The girls lovely as always, glad to see them laughing and having so much fun on stage and even during interviews. 🙃
They were so into the interview and I kept them laughing so much fun !
Great interview!!!! Glad to see the US media (at least NY and Chicago) starting to cover Japanese music.
These girls are such great performers, hard workers, sweet and humble. Fantastic role models for young women. I wish them nothing but success and will be cheering for them from the audience and online.
Thanks for this great video! I love BABYMETAL!! Kitsune up!!
I LOVE Babymetal! Been listening to them for a couple of years now. This coming from a person that has listened to thrash metal, death metal, and other various kinds of metal for 45+ years.
How awesome was that? How humble and appreciative they (still) are! Momo being part of Babymetal and having a now voice, as nervous as she (understandably) was...is so endearing! I wish them continued success and can't wait for whatever surprises they have in store for "The One"!
And as usual, Moa's eyes are glued to Su's hair! It's cute how Momo is still learning the art of the interview. She'll nail it. It just takes experience.
Its not about being first or the most famous but being unique and then withstand the test of time. Every genre has legends but there are legends that transcends genres
I totally agree!
Lets Gooooooo!! This was such a great show and my first time seeing BM live!! Cant wait till April next year!!
The “oh sweet summer child” looks Su and Moa sent to Momo as she got nervous or talked about how new things were for her were so good.😂
Adorable, real people. It shows that Su and Moa are way preapered for this. But still very, very genuine and exited to share some thoughts. No matter how much their team "train" them, they're still just naturally can't hide some emotions 😊 That's the best thing - Be yourself... And Momo did just that❤. Thank you BABYMETAL-san that you're here.
I've been a fan of Momoko's since her final year in Sakura Gakuin (2017) so I can say it's very difficult for Momoko to NOT be herself -- she's a happy-pill, a comedienne at heart, and cares A LOT about the quality of her stage work.
"If you could say one thing to Babymetal, what would you say?"
I'd say, Babymetal changed mine and many other people's lives. Since NYC in 2014, my life has never been the same. The Babymetal fandom community is one of a kind and I'm honored and proud to be a part of it. From it, I've made the best friends I've ever had. We've traveled to places we never thought we'd visit. Made friends around the world! We all have this connection to what Babymetal's message is in their music. Uplifting, encouraging, happy, festive metal music that is very VERY much needed in this dark world we live in. Babymetal equals Love. Metal Love! You bring people of all ages and backgrounds together as The One. And THAT'S why we love Babymetal.
P.S. Gotta also thank the man responsible for all this, Kei Kobayashi aka Koba-Metal. Thank you man. ❤❤
When I met Koba before the interview that is exactly what I said to him. Thank you for creating this.
I once asked him for a photo at the Orlando show and he denied it😂, when Dethklok was playing
KOBA likes being the mastermind. He never tries to take credit for his work. He is always looking out for their well-being and watching over them.
This is garbage. 😂😂😂 That’s what I would say about this garbage.
It feels so rare to be able to see and hear an interview with them instead of reading one, so thank you so much for doing this. And a big thank you to the BM management team for agreeing to do this. I hope to see more of these in the future :D
I have to thank Koba and the entire team they could not have been nicer or more accommodating .
Good evening from Japan !
I'm glad to hear the news that BABYMETAL is beloved by many people and BABYMETAL makes us very happy !!
Welcome! Personally I’ve been a fan of BabyMetal since 2013 and they seem to be getting more and more amazing. I did this interview and meeting them was amazing!
Babymetal is sooooooo awesome, and their live show is off the charts.
Love Them :) They are so sweet and humble. Almost brings a tear to the eye.
Momo lost for words, the support from Su and Moa, is perfect Babymetal, Momo is a perfect fit and so adorable. They connect with everyone as a trio ,and their songs are uplifting and crazy fun! just like the girls and Kami Band.
あまりbaby metalを知らないおじさんですが右に立ってらっしゃる女性の「変わらない為に進化する」とのコメントがとても心に響きました。
お三方の人間性を垣間見れるインタビューで素晴らしいと思うと同時に、日本の若者が海外で頑張っている事に刺激を受けます。
baby metaiに力を貰いました。
私が従事する仕事は目立たない地味な業務が多いですが、縁の下で日本を支えてると思っております。
おじさん、もうちょっと頑張ります。
thank you BABY METAL & FOX5
Thank you so much for your amazing comment. I did this interview to show the world that Japan has amazing talent and to show the humility of these amazing young ladies. This interview was amazing to do and I will never forget how sweet these young ladies were to me, and my crew. Thank you again
I love how much they keep maturing through the years. You can see how much love they have for their craft and so aware and appreciative of everything it brings. Su and moa really shows the large amount of experience they had from the band. I'm so glad to see Momo adjusting nicely and enjoying the performances they do, she'll have more experiences in the future and I can't wait to see more of her growth.(though she's already very capable now)
well this is certainly a surprise, but a very welcome one, love to see BABYMETAL doing interviews, i shall definitely spend the rest of my night enjoying the amazing experience that is BABYMETAL, again, and many more times after that, best band to ever exist if you ask me.
Yui hid because she was shy, Momoko froze because she was nervous... the tradition of a not very easy-going member is saved!!!❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥 ... and the story of alligators 🐊🐊🐊... OMG!!!!
I Absolutely loved that part lol I could not stop smiling when she was telling that story
Yui never hid. She was the fan favorite & the most open.
Fantastic interview!! MOMOMETAL is such a sweetheart and her sprit really showed through here.
It was absolutely amazing! I've been waiting since 2014 to see Babymetal live and I was not disappointed. I've been to a lot of shows but this was the best show I've ever been to!!! I'm so thrilled I was able to attend❤
I was at the 2014 show and I’m seeing them Saturday. So cool that it’s come full circle like that.
huh? What's the circle? Seems like more of a straight line.
This was great, it felt so genuin! 😊 more of that please
When they return to NYC I'll be there to do this again...guaranteed!
I love it when Momo feels confused about saying the word, it looks cute.
I was happy to see them during their Asia World Tour in Jakarta and with all the enthusiastic crowds. Thank you for your hard work. Hope you guys come back to Jakarta, Sampai Jumpa 🤘🏻
Oh, and thank you for sharing this interview session, it made my day 🤍
@@fundoshow Thank you for saying that I love this band and interviewing them was amazing
Back in 2016 my daughter went to her first babymetal concert. She was 6. A great age to go to a babymetal concert. We won’t get to see them this time because they are t playing locally and she can’t miss school this time as she is now in high school, but we did see them in LA in 2019 and hope to see them when they tour again.
Thank you for sharing I have been lucky to have interviewed these very sweet ladies 2 times and see them 2 times. Took my daughter to her first show last month and she is totally a fan now. 🤘😁
Lol i love how nervous Momo was. Instead of Yuibot we got excited monkey jumping in the head of Momo while she's trying to stay composed lmao
Just got done watching Joe, Alan, and Eric talking about this interview. Have watched multiple videos of the Kingslayer live collaboration, and am beyond thrilled for these amazing young ladies and the incredible year that they have had. Seeing them live myself was like a dream now, and I am anxiously awaiting their future activities. They mean the world to me.
It is nice to hear Momoko's impressions at last!
世界中の老若男女がBABYMETALのLiveを楽しみにしているのだなととても良く分かる素敵な動画ありがとうございます
MOMO-METALが通訳前に爆笑してる感じも凄い🤘🦊🤘
I’m really glad Smiley’s made her dreams come true,she deserves everything success will bring her and her presence as a full member has really strengthened BM. ❤
This so awesome! Babymetal just rocks! These kids have worked so hard for this! I wish that I could have watched them!
Thank you fo this. Nice and candid interview.
これは貴重！
FOX 5 NEW YORK様、ありがとうございます。
Thank you for commenting we all appreciate it
Omg I love this! And their answers seem more genuine too :)
They were so genuine and sweet... I am still smiling from this
Thanks for the interview!
🤘🦊
FIRST TIME MOMO SPEAKING🎉🎉🎉
I spent this entire video looking for myself because I was about 5th on line to get in from about 9:30am ... (yes, it's all about me lol) ... but being at the rail it was the greatest show of my life. At one point Momo smiled at me and my knees started to shake and I damn near fell down.
Sorry I didn’t get you on camera but more important that you got to the rail. I was in the first balcony and I wish I was where you were. Amazing show and BMC was my favorite song of the night. What was your favorite song that night?
9 years later and Moametal still stares at Su-metal during interviews. It's sweet.
old habit die hard 😂
It’s classic Moa!
OMG YESSSS babymetal is finally getting the recognition they deserve
Idk if are good acting or really humble personalities, they overact a little, but they sell well, which is what matters to their target audience.
@@alexperez3367 Very similar to MLB player Shohei Otani.
He is humble, professional, and equally young. They are two great stars who express the virtues of the Japanese.
Thank you for the interview. Babymetal thank you for the amazing music and shows. I got to see them for my first time here in Atlanta. Thanks to Babymetal I have discovered a lot of awesome bands and music from Japan. Long live Babymetal!🤘🔥😁❤
I really love this style of interview! So nice to see natural interview!!! :)
"We grow in age and height" (c) Moa. OMG I'm dead
She's said this in a few interviews now - I suspect she thinks if she says it enough it will be true. Sadly, she's a part of the short adult club, now. She's taller than me, though, and I wish her the very best of luck in achieving the height she envisions for herself. 😂❤
chicchakunai desu yo! 🦊
I love the way Momoko is taller than both Su and Moa, who is definitely “not little” 🤣
Moa: obsessed with height since 2010 (if you follow Babymetal, you can't forget about her obsession with being taller than Su and Yui 😂)
This was a great interview 😊
Thank you
I couldn't stop smiling while watching all the interview, they're so adorable ❤
Thanks so much for doing this interview! So happy to see them talking❤
I love how they used Dicodec in the intro as "This is what rock and metal sounds like in the past..." Quick! Someone run and go tell Alan @Dicodec!
Also, that "OTFGK" in the end, was just hilariously awesome LOL! 🤘🦊
I surprised Alan with that intro and the music underneath the interview was an unreleased Dicodec instrumental. I agree the end was perfect.
@@joeseconi250 🤣OMG that is awesome haha! I bet he will be floored!
@@Ganimal83 just spoke to him he was really surprised and thanked me
@@joeseconi250 🙌🙌✊
thanks for the interview
4:58 myyyyyy girl momo I can’t she is so happy and nervous like she smiled all the time 😿 and sumoa looked at her like their cute baby 😭keep going my girls i will support u as much I can 💗💗💗💗💗💗
Still humble and polite ❤❤❤
😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Saw them in Chicago 🤘🦊🤘
We are so excited for this!
Let's hope for a
SU-METAL Desu 😜🤘
MOAMETAL Desu 😜🤘
MOMOMETAL Desu 😜🤘
Keep going, Girls, we are proud of you!
They did it!!!
That already occurred! April 2nd, Babymetal Begins - Clear Night. From their concert Blu Ray. They finally played the full Babymetal Death again, with Momometal Desu!
@@Ganimal83 But lately in interviews and promos they only do "we are babymetal!"
@@luhaleyry321 ah true, but still, we did get a legit Momometal!
We got it and a classic "Only the FOX GOD knows" to round it out!
I love these ladies and it is so great to watch the videos and see their career evolving. It's an amazing story. I finally got to see them live in Wallingford, CT, and it was a thrill. I had tears in my eyes when they first came out on stage. This is a good interview, the ladies are very diplomatic as well as thoughtful and well spoken.
With the door behind them, I somehow expected Mori sensei sneaking in, scaring them and announcing a Nendo Test 😆
Lol that would be funny.. Sakura Gakuin all again 😂
