Great reaction. This was at Saitama Super Arena early in 2015. Su-metal was 17, Yuimetal and Moametal were 15 and that was 20,000 or more people under their complete control, every one of them singing along (even the ones who should know better). If Su wants a wall of death all she has to do is make a gesture with her arms and give the crowd her death stare, she will get a wall of death (or several). if that turns into a circle pit then all the better ... and if she just wants a circle pit now she just makes a circular motion with her finger. You are right, this was all live. There may have been post production done for the DVD but the need for that will have been minimal, BABYMETAL with the Kami Band and Su-metal in particular, just sound better live , that's just the way it is.
Great reaction! When you asked if this was a ballad before the song got going, I was thinking.. 'oooh, it's a good thing he got his shirt buttoned up tight!' lol What the crowd was doing was a circle pit.
Watch this video or listen to this song first thing in the morning, and you will save a lot of money on the coffee or tea that you won't need to start your day with anymore! This song has so much energy and always gets me pumped up! Great reaction! 🦊🤘
You know a band is truly great when pretty much everyone prefers their live recordings over the professionally-produced studio versions of their songs.
Nice reaction. Hideki Aoyama, the drummer, is basically a human metronome. But the best thing I think is that, even if he can, he doesn't need to go full throttle all the time to be great. Road of Resistance is one of 4 regular closing songs they use, every one of these is kind of an anthem and 3 of these four (including RoR) are Power Metal. Road of Resistance's guitar parts were written and recorded by Herman Li and Sam Totman of Dragonforce. The other three songs are Ijime Dame Zettai - figuratively translated "No More Bullying, Forever". The One - the fan base is called "The One", so it's a thank you song for the fans. Arkadia - last in a series of songs called "Trilogy of Lights", which basically handles the three topics of Loss ("Starlight"), Acceptance ("Shine") and Moving On ("Arkadia"). IDZ live at Sonisphere Festival UK 2014 (their first big performance outside of Japan): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html The One, unfortunately a music video, but the live footage used in the video is from Yokohama Arena 2015 where they debuted the song a night before this footage was shot: ua-cam.com/video/TZRvO0S-TLU/v-deo.html Arkadia, there's only a compilation because it's on their latest album, Metal Galaxy, but the visuals are all from their Forum show in Los Angeles 2019, as is the sound, so it's not as bad as other compilations: ua-cam.com/video/7wgOVFc1z-8/v-deo.html
No problem. I hope the last one (Arkadia) doesn't have any copyright issues if you decide to "react" to it. I can't remember ever seeing it on another channel. Also, a fact I forgot: The Arkadia performance is from 2019, so it's without Yuimetal, who left the group in 2018. In her place is a so-called "Avenger", which are the three rotating support dancers they implemented in place of Yui in 2019, in this case Riho Sayashi. You'll also see them all grown up (Su was 21, Moa was 20).
That was Babymetal in Japan, time for Babymetal in the West. I highly suggest you watch the moment Babymetal 1st played to a Western crowd at the Sonisphere Festival in the UK 2014. Gimme Chocolate had went viral but Babymetal was seen as a joke and many metal heads were pissed they were coming. They moved Babymetal to the main stage. The girls were scared and well the rest is history. Check out the Sonisphere 2014 performance of Ijime Dame Zettai, you will thank me later.
Great reaction! That super fast drummer is "Hideki Aoyama". If you listen carefully, every beat is consistent. Thanks for reacting to my favorite band Babymetal. Arigatou gozaimasu. 😄❤
Great reaction! Hopefully this won't get blocked (this song has been recently)...but I did get to see it! Looking forward to more reactions to this awesome band!
The drummer is Hideki Aoyama, in this song they collaborated with Dragon Force in a studio version. And you have to realize that this is the last song of all the songs that they perform at this concert and they do not reduce their performance at all. Suzuka Nakamoto(Su-metal) sang very professionally, it didn't sound like she was losing her breath at all even though she was singing high notes while dancing throughout the concert.

It's a Metal thing - though I'm sure when I was pogoing to Punk back in 1976, it was the same thing we did then! Su does like the fans circling for her and the galloping horse dance at the start is to encourage them to circle faster. To which we all reply "Yes, my Queen"! At the end Su repeatedly calls out "We are..." and Yui and Moa and the fans reply "...Babymetal!" . Then she tells the fans to put their kitsunes up (the hand sign that represents a fox).

@@tonebonetelevision I try my best! But the most accurate info you'll find on Babymetal will be from Rick Wagner and Grington300 300 who are probably down there in the comments somewhere. The thing to remember with Babymetal choreography is that every gesture, hand position, step, pose and what have you is always connected to the lyrics being sung. I think some might call it Interpretive Dance. But not me. I just call it Babymetal!
Awesome. I felt the same way when I first watched this. So much comes at you all at once you have no idea what to focus on. I can't even imagine what it was like to be in that crowd with no choice but to just let it wash over you. I suggested Rondo of Nightmare from Budokan Black Night on a previous video, and given your frequent comments about the quality musicianship I'll repeat that suggestion again.
Thanks man, Drummer is a double bass monster, Try Catch Me If You Can, live at Black Night Legend Doomsday show Kami band intro rocks, 3 guitar solos, drum solo, alot of fun, might be hardest and most fun song! Headbanging with a smile!!! Thanks man
Nice reaction!! There is no on-stage banter at BM's concert. The girls sing and dance for nearly 90 minutes. And the Road of Resistance we saw this time is the last song of the show. You can see how much energy🔥 these girls have!! (´∇｀) It's in the nature of the Japanese people to love digging deeper and deeper into one thing, or adding up the finished thing and the finished thing to create something new. That can be the skill of a master craftsman or otaku culture. Manga, anime, and electronics are the result of that. Of course, I believe BM is one of them. SUMETAL (vocal&dance) said. ------ BABYMETAL is neither japanese idol group nor metal, I always thought it was "BABYMETAL". I want to make a unique genre called "BABYMETAL". We believe that our music is one-of-a-kind, and because it's one-of-a-kind, it can bring the world together. I'm doing my best to be the one who brings a new wind to the times. "Metal Resistance" is about enjoying one piece of music that transcends language barriers, racial barriers, and genre barriers. It's about everyone singing together with a smile. ------ I feel that BM is a true professional, not just the musicians and producers, but the 3 princesses, the Avengers and the dancers, all of whom are true professionals. I have a lot of respect for all the people involved in BM. I highly recommend one of these next.(I don't know English, so I chose a song that you might like based on feeling.) You can use this to help you choose the songs recommended by others. - BABYMETAL - Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014,UK (OFFICIAL) - BABYMETAL - いいね！- Iine! (OFFICIAL) - BABYMETAL - KARATE (OFFICIAL) - BABYMETAL - Rondo of Nightmare Live @ Budokan Black Night I hope you continue to enjoy your BABYMETAL. Put your Kitsune🦊 up! from Japan. (Translation by DeepL)
Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This MV was filmed in 2015, and the crowd involvement, mosh pit, call & response, chant etc. occur everywhere they go. Oct. 11 last year, at the Forum, LA, a 17,000 audience also joined the performance as "the One". And US-Kami band played in the girls' back that evening. (They are great musicians, too.) Please continue to explore BABYMETAL.
I just saw Babymetal's 2-day concert DVD from earlier this year, and it's a crazy awesome spectacle. My 'lottery list' includes seeing the best bands in the best places, and seeing Babymetal in Japan is at the top of the list. Good job and carry on, Sir!
This get blocked a lot. She called for a circle pit. The music is from Dragon Force. Su the singer was declared the queen of Rock and Metal in 2016. The girls just own it.
What you saw the audience doing was a circle pit similar to a mosh pit , both happen at BABYMETAL shows . And at the beginning of the song Su was spreading her arms which is the audiences cue to form a " wall of death " . That forms the outside of the pit . Not to many people , if any can command a wall of death with a single gesture . Su is the Queen of Metal.
Some advice about BABYMETAL reactions: tl;dr: Don't use compilations for BABYMETAL, we have a better solution. Please don't rely solely on videos that are on UA-cam (mainly compilations); they're not meant to be used for reactions as the mix of concerts and generally bad editing can make it confusing for those new to BABYMETAL. Also, you won't get the full BABYMETAL experience with these. Some people think they are safer for reactions, but they're not. They may get past the bot initially, but you still stand the chance of your video being blocked later and the possibility of having copyright strikes. Some fans made a selection of "best" performances for each song; I would suggest using it for future BABYMETAL reactions. Here is the link : docs.google.com/document/d/1DqPsavocgGvCyZfUHvrkgJ5KZMaMkmMgjy2UxNNG96E/edit# You should note though, that your video will almost definitely be blocked if these are included in your video and that you will need to do what we call "link & sync". It's very easy and made easier with the help of Reactor Hub, a tool made for helping avoid blocks etc. We made a short tutorial on how to use it : drive.google.com/open?id=1X6hN2BdyKzFmVN9XMEo2M89hsKY0B-bnnHRVVMNY13w Using that you are safe from blocked videos and even future copyright strikes, since no copyright material is included in your video :). There is even a discord for Reactor Hub if you need any help. I'm hoping you will have fun with BABYMETAL in future reactions :).
Mosh pits can be dangerous. It’s no longer the pogo. Flying elbows & steel toed boots... so a Circle pit is a safer option for your fans to ‘release’. At the beginning she stared them down and gestures that they open up; when the beat picks up, they all run into the middle, “wall of death”. But then straight into a circle, less overall collisions 😉 Starting a year before this, they took over. Dec 2013: Gimme Chocolate’s debut at singer SuMetal’s 16th BDay party show Legend 97, which also had BabyMetal Death. Then 2 nights at historic Budokan. Then first summer in Europe. Then this show (Jan ‘15 I think), 20k? peeps in a stadium, nice intimate homecoming party. This video link captures the moment they took over the world, July 2014, England. First band, noon, everybody’s getting out of their tents groggy & pissy. They play 5 songs, led into this finale with a PSA (Su’s voice, in English) to stop bullying (of all things at a metal show?!), then played this, titled “Bullying, No, Never”. Ages 16, & two barely 15, take over the world indeed! ijime, dame, zettai live at sonisphere 2014 ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html For more Japanese variety, try Gacharic Spin. Their latest, Gold Dash was commissioned in support of Paralympic athletes. It’s like if BandMaid played Rush, at a rave, with their new 17yr old rapper. Tell me I’m wrong! ua-cam.com/video/l8hE7XlRkUA/v-deo.html
I caught them in 2018 at the Moody Theater in Austin during one of their US tours. Venue was much smaller but the show they put on was still incredible. Probably the best live performance I have ever seen. They know how to put on a show!
Parcero, felicitaciones. Así se reacciona ante algo novedoso, poderoso y envolvente como las bebés. Espero más entregas y estaré pendiente para suscribirme y andar juntos este camino. Gracias.
First, at around 2:14. then from 4:08 on... and a few more times afterwards, Mr. ToneBones did the "Sander face" haha. It's great to see different people, from completely different backgrounds look the same way when reacting to Babymetal! Great job! 👍 👍 👍
That is 1 of my favorite from them. I dismissed BabyMetal back then when Gimme Chocolate came out cause of the gimmick, personally, I think it was not the right song to introduce them to old school metal fans, Megitsune would had been a better choice imo. If you want to see a drum playthrough for a video, I suggest checking out Unlucky Morpheus, another Japanese band, (6 members, singer and violinist are women, rest are men) they release often alternate videos just for the drums, Unending Sorceress is 1 of them ua-cam.com/video/5Ii57wXS2vc/v-deo.html or a live performance King of sword ua-cam.com/video/zQzF3Vol3eE/v-deo.html
@@tonebonetelevision The sound of the live version is not optimized since the source is from that 1 camera and not the full setup for the show but the MV is crystal clear so you know. Fumiya used to be the drummer for Undead Corporation and Galneryus just to name a few of his previous bands.
She split the crowd for a Mosh Pit. Their Music Video for 'Karate' is great too. If you like great Japanese Music and crowd control, you should check out BAND-MAID "Domination' LIVE 2020 . . . ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html
Sad News: Drummer Hideki’s father, Aoyama Jun (1957-2013) was a famous drummer and also lost his younger drummer brother Aoyama Yuki in August 2018. Hideki started his career in JAM Project where high performance quality is required, then he joined KAMI BAND in 2012.
Music in Japan is some of the best! Originality and creative! Even J-pop is pretty good! It all started with BABYMETAL (always all caps) for me, and I've been around Japanese music for awhile now. Good stuff everywhere! You should do the discovery video which is "Gimme Chocolate".
I love the reaction. "It's going to be a ballad?" Nope, you were about to be ambushed by a face melting song. The drummer may be faster than any drummer I have heard except maybe Yoshiki from X-Japan. The backing Kami Band has awesome talent.
Now that you mention it, the choreo does sybolize warriors riding a horse into a battlefield. In this concert, before this song, an animation was played depicting exactly that. Some of the warriors has faces of Metallica members, and several other iconic Metal figures ^^
This is my first time seeing one of your reactions, you did a great job. Babymetal have pretty much taken over my life since discovering them at the start of this year, they're incredible. Can I suggest another band/song for you? Check this out ua-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/v-deo.html
It is very hard for me to not listen to every Babymetal song in one day, But I want my true reaction to be in the videos that I post. Hope you enjoy them. Thank you very much! cheers!
This is one of those songs that I think are way better live. I rather listen to this live performance than the studio version. They are just something else. I would love to go to Japan someday. I hope you can make it there too. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to this band. They mean the world to me. 🦊🖤
In addition to Su, Moa, Yui, and Hideki, Takayoshi Ohmura is the guitarist playing the pink ESP snapper. In this man's opinion, he is the best rock or metal guitarist in the world at this moment in time. He is releasing a new solo album in the near future. The other guitarists that were in the Kami band at this time were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus.The bass player was the incomparable Boh.
I apologize for being so late in commenting, and it's not about BM...I hope you notice this comment. You are also conducting a Rush reaction video. I highly recommend the following at Japanese Girl(BM) + Rush. YYZ - Rush / Covered by Yoyoka ua-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/v-deo.html She is a 10-year-old Japanese girl. But she's no ordinary 10-year-old. She is a drummer who is going to take the world by storm in the future. As you can see from the comments on the video, there have been all sorts of praise comments from around the world. (And the number is amazing.) She has one thing in common with BM. It's that when you watch a video, you feel surprised, confusion, respect, and happy with feelings of joy. I personally believe that she is not a performer, but the music itself. There are Led Zeppelin, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine etc. drum covers that I think you'll enjoy for a long time. By the way, some of the videos have gotten likes from band officials. In addition, She can't read the music score. She listens and remembers everything. (She may be able to read a little now.)
meime meime I appreciate you and your support, no apologies needed ! I will check out that yyz cover but I have heard it before! Also that girl on the guitar I will check out too! I am a guitar player who doesn’t read music and learns by ear! Thank you and have a great day ❤️
@@tonebonetelevision Please take a look at it when you have time. 😄 Incidentally,I heard there's going to be a collaboration with Billy Sheehan in 26/09/2020 12:00 JST(03:00 UTC), although overseas people may not be able to see it in real time since yoyoka is a child and it's timed for the Japanese side.
@@tonebonetelevision Is the guitar girl Li-sa-X? You might want to start with this video of her collaborating with Yoyoka. This is a video published in 26/05/2020. However, with the two geniuses together, I can't watch this video enough😆 - Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie / Coverd by Li-sa X & Yoyoka
FYI Li-sa-X : guiter 02/2005 15yrs old Yoyoka : drum 10/2009 10yrs old
Love your reaction. Yes this song really is an "anthem" for the Babymetalheads. It not only sounds great musically but it has powerful lyrics as well, which really draws the crowd in. The drummer, by the way, is Hideki Aoyama who is a top, TOP session player in Japan (as are all the other band members). Resistance - Resistance - Stand up and shout (SHOUT) Justice forever If you can believe ... keep moving forward ... the answer is here Forever - Forever - Wowowowooo - to the depths of your soul Heart on fire, with a spirit made of steel This is our RESISTANCE ! Im sure lots of people will recommend other Babymetal tracks for you to hear, but I just want to add another group to your list which I think you might really enjoy. Their name is "Drop's", and unlike Babymetal they actually write all their own material (they are a bit older though - they look young but are all in their late 20s to early 30s). They play some of the grungiest, most soulcrushing slow blues you will hear from a modern band (ie. outside the 70s Brit blues bands like Cream, LeZep or Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac). I highly recommend that you check them out . (my favourite track is linked below) ua-cam.com/video/SSezc2jhPcI/v-deo.html
Great reaction, and congrats on 500+ subs! This is such a powerful song, so full of energy, and the crowd just adds to the experience. I would suggest either Akatsuki - ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html or Amore - www.dailymotion.com/video/x7wa6c7 next. They both feature Su singing solo and highlight the musicians quite a bit.
In those days "metal elitists" were saying, "This ain't no metal!" Given the situation, they released this song, singing about BABYMETAL going on "uncharted road," which is the metaphor of them going into European metal scene with their metal music that nobody had ever played. "Road of Resistance" was their manifesto to go their own road of resistance against such intolerance (and as you say, it's an anthem of us who go with them). And they convinced European metalheads by their performance.
when Rob Zombie was asked about the first time he saw them perform, he said: "I saw them the other day for the first time. I mean, I'd seen videos and stuff, but I saw them live for the first time the other day, and I just loved it; it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I mean, it was just like… Leave it to the Japanese to find a way to make fucking death metal cute. But it was awesome. And the crowd… The crowd was going fucking apeshit. The amount of crowdsurfing and stage diving and just complete mayhem, which made it even funnier, 'cause it's three cute little girls doing fucking karate on stage and shit, and these guys [that are backing them] are dressed like ghosts, all in white. It's the most bizarre fucking thing. It's totally worth watching; it's so good."

Awesome. I felt the same way when I first watched this. So much comes at you all at once you have no idea what to focus on. I can't even imagine what it was like to be in that crowd with no choice but to just let it wash over you.
I suggested Rondo of Nightmare from Budokan Black Night on a previous video, and given your frequent comments about the quality musicianship I'll repeat that suggestion again.
Rondo is on my radar! oh yes!!!!
Babymetal the natural energy drink good to the last drop !! Great reaction.
The best part of waking up, is Babymetal in your cup!
Thanks man, Drummer is a double bass monster, Try
Catch Me If You Can, live at
Black Night Legend Doomsday show
Kami band intro rocks, 3 guitar solos, drum solo, alot of fun, might be hardest and most fun song!
Headbanging with a smile!!!
Thanks man
Drummer is a monster with fast feet for sure!! Thanks for the recommendation JB!
Nice reaction!! There is no on-stage banter at BM's concert. The girls sing and dance for nearly 90 minutes. And the Road of Resistance we saw this time is the last song of the show. You can see how much energy🔥 these girls have!! (´∇｀)
It's in the nature of the Japanese people to love digging deeper and deeper into one thing, or adding up the finished thing and the finished thing to create something new. That can be the skill of a master craftsman or otaku culture. Manga, anime, and electronics are the result of that. Of course, I believe BM is one of them.
SUMETAL (vocal&dance) said.
------
BABYMETAL is neither japanese idol group nor metal, I always thought it was "BABYMETAL". I want to make a unique genre called "BABYMETAL".
We believe that our music is one-of-a-kind, and because it's one-of-a-kind, it can bring the world together.
I'm doing my best to be the one who brings a new wind to the times.
"Metal Resistance" is about enjoying one piece of music that transcends language barriers, racial barriers, and genre barriers. It's about everyone singing together with a smile.
------
I feel that BM is a true professional, not just the musicians and producers, but the 3 princesses, the Avengers and the dancers, all of whom are true professionals. I have a lot of respect for all the people involved in BM.
I highly recommend one of these next.(I don't know English, so I chose a song that you might like based on feeling.)
You can use this to help you choose the songs recommended by others.

Thank you for the guide. And thank you for watching my video. Cheers!!
Welcome to Japan! We are very happy to have you here! I hope you enjoy your stay!🦊
Thank you. I feel very welcome and glad to be here. Some day I will make a trip to visit and try some Bubble tea 🤟❤️🤟
Nice reaction & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。This MV was filmed in 2015, and the crowd involvement, mosh pit, call & response, chant etc. occur everywhere they go. Oct. 11 last year, at the Forum, LA, a 17,000 audience also joined the performance as "the One". And US-Kami band played in the girls' back that evening. (They are great musicians, too.)
Please continue to explore BABYMETAL.
You are very welcome FOM. I will react to more BabyMetal!!! 🤟🤟
I just saw Babymetal's 2-day concert DVD from earlier this year, and it's a crazy awesome spectacle. My 'lottery list' includes seeing the best bands in the best places, and seeing Babymetal in Japan is at the top of the list. Good job and carry on, Sir!
Try to listen Dancing Dead by Avenged Sevenfold.
congrats for 500 subs. Go for More.
Thanks for the request. Will put it on my list Rodrigo! and your name is very cool!
This get blocked a lot. She called for a circle pit. The music is from Dragon Force. Su the singer was declared the queen of Rock and Metal in 2016. The girls just own it.
DragonForce didn't write any of the music. Just arranging the guitar parts.
It says partially blocked so some people can see it! oh boy!!!
If you caught it, when the crowd was singing by themselves, Su came back in to reset the speed for the band who was ready to restart.
Thanks for pointing that out! She is in total control!
yeah babymetal shows are all very strictly timed, and the audience had drifted off-time.
What you saw the audience doing was a circle pit similar to a mosh pit , both happen at BABYMETAL shows . And at the beginning of the song Su was spreading her arms which is the audiences cue to form a " wall of death " . That forms the outside of the pit . Not to many people , if any can command a wall of death with a single gesture . Su is the Queen of Metal.
Not even Su commands it with a single gesture these days. She signals it twice. :-)
She is made of iron!
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼 Also next you should do Rondo of nightmare with the mischief of gods intro ! ! !
Some advice about BABYMETAL reactions:
tl;dr: Don't use compilations for BABYMETAL, we have a better solution.
Please don't rely solely on videos that are on UA-cam (mainly compilations); they're not meant to be used for reactions as the mix of concerts and generally bad editing can make it confusing for those new to BABYMETAL. Also, you won't get the full BABYMETAL experience with these. Some people think they are safer for reactions, but they're not. They may get past the bot initially, but you still stand the chance of your video being blocked later and the possibility of having copyright strikes.
Some fans made a selection of "best" performances for each song; I would suggest using it for future BABYMETAL reactions. Here is the link : docs.google.com/document/d/1DqPsavocgGvCyZfUHvrkgJ5KZMaMkmMgjy2UxNNG96E/edit#
You should note though, that your video will almost definitely be blocked if these are included in your video and that you will need to do what we call "link & sync". It's very easy and made easier with the help of Reactor Hub, a tool made for helping avoid blocks etc. We made a short tutorial on how to use it : drive.google.com/open?id=1X6hN2BdyKzFmVN9XMEo2M89hsKY0B-bnnHRVVMNY13w
Using that you are safe from blocked videos and even future copyright strikes, since no copyright material is included in your video :).
There is even a discord for Reactor Hub if you need any help.
I'm hoping you will have fun with BABYMETAL in future reactions :).
Mosh pits can be dangerous. It’s no longer the pogo. Flying elbows & steel toed boots... so a Circle pit is a safer option for your fans to ‘release’. At the beginning she stared them down and gestures that they open up; when the beat picks up, they all run into the middle, “wall of death”. But then straight into a circle, less overall collisions 😉
Starting a year before this, they took over. Dec 2013: Gimme Chocolate’s debut at singer SuMetal’s 16th BDay party show Legend 97, which also had BabyMetal Death. Then 2 nights at historic Budokan. Then first summer in Europe. Then this show (Jan ‘15 I think), 20k? peeps in a stadium, nice intimate homecoming party. This video link captures the moment they took over the world, July 2014, England. First band, noon, everybody’s getting out of their tents groggy & pissy. They play 5 songs, led into this finale with a PSA (Su’s voice, in English) to stop bullying (of all things at a metal show?!), then played this, titled “Bullying, No, Never”. Ages 16, & two barely 15, take over the world indeed!
ijime, dame, zettai live at sonisphere 2014 ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
For more Japanese variety, try Gacharic Spin. Their latest, Gold Dash was commissioned in support of Paralympic athletes. It’s like if BandMaid played Rush, at a rave, with their new 17yr old rapper. Tell me I’m wrong! ua-cam.com/video/l8hE7XlRkUA/v-deo.html
Yuri and Angelina (saw that she's been learning guitar) are great additions
Thanks for the links TG. I will check them out.
Ah so that's the reason for the title Gold Dash, thanks dude.
I caught them in 2018 at the Moody Theater in Austin during one of their US tours. Venue was much smaller but the show they put on was still incredible. Probably the best live performance I have ever seen. They know how to put on a show!
React to Break The Wall Live by Lovebites, japanese metal band
Awesome. Thanks for the request. We need great bands for this channel!
Parcero, felicitaciones. Así se reacciona ante algo novedoso, poderoso y envolvente como las bebés. Espero más entregas y estaré pendiente para suscribirme y andar juntos este camino. Gracias.
Muchas gracias. Voy a disfrutar mucho este paseo. ¡Salud de mi parte para ti!
great reaction💕
Thanks a bunch Yuna !
First, at around 2:14. then from 4:08 on... and a few more times afterwards, Mr. ToneBones did the "Sander face" haha. It's great to see different people, from completely different backgrounds look the same way when reacting to Babymetal!
Great job! 👍 👍 👍
Thanks JD. Glad you like it and my face gets a workout with this kawaii metal ride I am on! 😊
You mean Sander the Norwegian guy, right?
@@shaunpierce4174
Yes!!! 😅😂🤣
It's really a fantastic performance. It must be every musician's dream to be part of something like that one day.
I would love to back up Su. I just need a few weeks to practice my shredding!
That is 1 of my favorite from them. I dismissed BabyMetal back then when Gimme Chocolate came out cause of the gimmick, personally, I think it was not the right song to introduce them to old school metal fans, Megitsune would had been a better choice imo.
If you want to see a drum playthrough for a video, I suggest checking out Unlucky Morpheus, another Japanese band, (6 members, singer and violinist are women, rest are men) they release often alternate videos just for the drums, Unending Sorceress is 1 of them ua-cam.com/video/5Ii57wXS2vc/v-deo.html or a live performance King of sword ua-cam.com/video/zQzF3Vol3eE/v-deo.html
Repobob thank you for the links RB! 😎
@@tonebonetelevision The sound of the live version is not optimized since the source is from that 1 camera and not the full setup for the show but the MV is crystal clear so you know. Fumiya used to be the drummer for Undead Corporation and Galneryus just to name a few of his previous bands.
言葉は分からなくても表情で良く分かりますよ😃
ありがとうございます 平和を！❤️
Hi. Try a band called Lovebites. Supreme all girls power progressive metal in Japan. Absolutely!!
Starts with the song "Shadowmaker" .
She split the crowd for a Mosh Pit. Their Music Video for 'Karate' is great too. If you like great Japanese Music and crowd control, you should check out BAND-MAID "Domination' LIVE 2020 . . . ua-cam.com/video/QbyQCJn6rYg/v-deo.html
Sad News: Drummer Hideki’s father, Aoyama Jun (1957-2013) was a famous drummer and also lost his younger drummer brother Aoyama Yuki in August 2018. Hideki started his career in JAM Project where high performance quality is required, then he joined KAMI BAND in 2012.
Masterpiece!🍅🍅🍅Thank you☆彡
Glad you liked it! Cheers from East coast USA ❤️
Music in Japan is some of the best! Originality and creative! Even J-pop is pretty good! It all started with BABYMETAL (always all caps) for me, and I've been around Japanese music for awhile now. Good stuff everywhere! You should do the discovery video which is "Gimme Chocolate".
Haha! Great reaction! Keep going, one more step and you will fall forever into the Foxhole! 🤘🦊🤘
I hope so. I am falling into a black hole! lol
One of the best from BABYMETAL! Loved the reaction - you mirrored my first reaction all those years ago. 👍🏻
Queen SU!
I love the reaction. "It's going to be a ballad?" Nope, you were about to be ambushed by a face melting song. The drummer may be faster than any drummer I have heard except maybe Yoshiki from X-Japan. The backing Kami Band has awesome talent.
You should google for "circle pit" and "wall of death". :)
Now that you mention it, the choreo does sybolize warriors riding a horse into a battlefield. In this concert, before this song, an animation was played depicting exactly that. Some of the warriors has faces of Metallica members, and several other iconic Metal figures ^^
This is my first time seeing one of your reactions, you did a great job. Babymetal have pretty much taken over my life since discovering them at the start of this year, they're incredible. Can I suggest another band/song for you? Check this out ua-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/v-deo.html
"I feel uplifted. I feel like I've got some energy right now."
It is very hard for me to not listen to every Babymetal song in one day, But I want my true reaction to be in the videos that I post. Hope you enjoy them. Thank you very much! cheers!
This is one of those songs that I think are way better live. I rather listen to this live performance than the studio version. They are just something else. I would love to go to Japan someday. I hope you can make it there too. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to this band. They mean the world to me. 🦊🖤
You've a deep hole to dive into and much to learn on the journey! Lol.. That is how you end a show, noone does it better! Genius.
In addition to Su, Moa, Yui, and Hideki, Takayoshi Ohmura is the guitarist playing the pink ESP snapper. In this man's opinion, he is the best rock or metal guitarist in the world at this moment in time. He is releasing a new solo album in the near future. The other guitarists that were in the Kami band at this time were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus.The bass player was the incomparable Boh.
if you wanna see this drummer go wild checkout amore song xD
It's called a circle pit but I think whirlpool is also pretty accurate.
ありがとう！
どういたしまして。私からあなたに乾杯! ❤️
Whirlpool...nice!
#notacult
You should listen too
Metallica- Battery
Slipknot- devil in I
Spirit adrift - I think of demons
Kyle Roy thanks Kyle Aka lord of caffeine! Maybe some Metallica is in order for this channel!
whirlpooling.. thats new.. lol
farmer droid how about circling the drain or cool whipping 😂
For me one of their top live performances, a great song to and a concert.
I feel that this is the best one that I have seen so far! Thank you and have a great day! ❤️
It's a whirlpool...! 😂
I apologize for being so late in commenting, and it's not about BM...I hope you notice this comment.
You are also conducting a Rush reaction video. I highly recommend the following at Japanese Girl(BM) + Rush.
YYZ - Rush / Covered by Yoyoka
ua-cam.com/video/lGETWi1QufE/v-deo.html
She is a 10-year-old Japanese girl. But she's no ordinary 10-year-old. She is a drummer who is going to take the world by storm in the future. As you can see from the comments on the video, there have been all sorts of praise comments from around the world. (And the number is amazing.)
She has one thing in common with BM. It's that when you watch a video, you feel surprised, confusion, respect, and happy with feelings of joy. I personally believe that she is not a performer, but the music itself. There are Led Zeppelin, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine etc. drum covers that I think you'll enjoy for a long time. By the way, some of the videos have gotten likes from band officials.
In addition, She can't read the music score. She listens and remembers everything. (She may be able to read a little now.)
meime meime I appreciate you and your support, no apologies needed ! I will check out that yyz cover but I have heard it before! Also that girl on the guitar I will check out too! I am a guitar player who doesn’t read music and learns by ear! Thank you and have a great day ❤️
@@tonebonetelevision
Please take a look at it when you have time.
😄
Incidentally,I heard there's going to be a collaboration with Billy Sheehan in 26/09/2020 12:00 JST(03:00 UTC), although overseas people may not be able to see it in real time since yoyoka is a child and it's timed for the Japanese side.
@@tonebonetelevision
Is the guitar girl Li-sa-X? You might want to start with this video of her collaborating with Yoyoka.
This is a video published in 26/05/2020. However, with the two geniuses together, I can't watch this video enough😆
- Joe Satriani - Satch Boogie / Coverd by Li-sa X & Yoyoka
FYI
Li-sa-X : guiter 02/2005 15yrs old
Yoyoka : drum 10/2009 10yrs old
it is called a mosh pit
Love your reaction. Yes this song really is an "anthem" for the Babymetalheads. It not only sounds great musically but it has powerful lyrics as well, which really draws the crowd in.
The drummer, by the way, is Hideki Aoyama who is a top, TOP session player in Japan (as are all the other band members).
Resistance - Resistance - Stand up and shout (SHOUT) Justice forever
If you can believe ... keep moving forward ... the answer is here
Forever - Forever - Wowowowooo - to the depths of your soul
Heart on fire, with a spirit made of steel
This is our RESISTANCE !
Im sure lots of people will recommend other Babymetal tracks for you to hear, but I just want to add another group to your list which I think you might really enjoy. Their name is "Drop's", and unlike Babymetal they actually write all their own material (they are a bit older though - they look young but are all in their late 20s to early 30s). They play some of the grungiest, most soulcrushing slow blues you will hear from a modern band (ie. outside the 70s Brit blues bands like Cream, LeZep or Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac). I highly recommend that you check them out . (my favourite track is linked below)
ua-cam.com/video/SSezc2jhPcI/v-deo.html
RIP drummer's feet LOL
and calves, ankles & shins!
Great reaction, and congrats on 500+ subs! This is such a powerful song, so full of energy, and the crowd just adds to the experience. I would suggest either Akatsuki - ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html or Amore - www.dailymotion.com/video/x7wa6c7 next. They both feature Su singing solo and highlight the musicians quite a bit.
Swirling around going down the foxhole we love all 3 ànd worship Su the Queen and Goddess #notacult . Great reaction
🤘🦊🤘
Thank you. Cheers
In those days "metal elitists" were saying, "This ain't no metal!" Given the situation, they released this song, singing about BABYMETAL going on "uncharted road," which is the metaphor of them going into European metal scene with their metal music that nobody had ever played. "Road of Resistance" was their manifesto to go their own road of resistance against such intolerance (and as you say, it's an anthem of us who go with them). And they convinced European metalheads by their performance.
Maybe things are heading in the right direction for thrashers here in the states. I had enough of the current state of synthetic music!
It's a circle pit of joy!
Lol , Su is not lip synchin man
You. You're fun.
haha. I am fun and loving life!
A ballad he said xD
I was a little wrong lol!!!
“Is this a ballad?” LOL
In hindsight, That was a pretty funny thing to say! My face was sanded of my skull in this one!
ケンタッキーのカーネルおじさんを劇画タッチにした感じw
私はそれを知りません。見てくれてありがとう。乾杯！
when Rob Zombie was asked about the first time he saw them perform, he said: "I saw them the other day for the first time. I mean, I'd seen videos and stuff, but I saw them live for the first time the other day, and I just loved it; it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I mean, it was just like… Leave it to the Japanese to find a way to make fucking death metal cute. But it was awesome. And the crowd… The crowd was going fucking apeshit. The amount of crowdsurfing and stage diving and just complete mayhem, which made it even funnier, 'cause it's three cute little girls doing fucking karate on stage and shit, and these guys [that are backing them] are dressed like ghosts, all in white. It's the most bizarre fucking thing. It's totally worth watching; it's so good."
