I was at the concert at Makuhari Messe where this was filmed, and it was absolutely mind blowing. Easily the best concert I have ever been to and completely worth the long trip to Japan to see them.
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。This video is from Makuhari shows on Jan.28 /29 and I witnessed both shows. You saw one octagonal movable / elevatable stage but actually there were two identical stages for more surprising production. Several drones with camera were flying around all over the venue.
Once this opening song by Su and Moa got started, I had goosebumps all over my body. The show was held after the almost 2-year long hiatus after all. Seriously many of audience were moved to tears and/or dropped their jaws when the gigantic fox wall opened and the thrones came out. Yeah! I chanted all through the song. ♪ Oh oh oh o o o ♪. What a happy experience!! The Kami band was playing on the east stage that was not captured in this video.
After this grave opening, 3 girls performed 12 songs with Momoko Avenger. You saw 3 thrones. Yeah, BM will change. The official 3rd girl is going to be unveiled in the next shows in Yokohama on April 1/2. Yes, at last ✌
Babymetal is never kidding when it comes to their headline shows, especially in Japan. The production is always fantastic, well thought out and executed to perfection. The fact that they were able to perform live at the last weekend in January and only 4 days later released the official mv with the footage from their is just crazy.
If you want to know more about the whole Babymetal story, check out CrypticMiserys guide to Babymetal. There is also a ton of lore behind Babymetal, that nobody ever covered in one video (if that is even possible without making it a 3 hour video lol) but there is a comic book available Apocrypha: The Legend of Babymetal, that covers plenty of it. 🤘🔥🦊
Su has an outstanding presence on stage, it was always strong but it gets stronger with every year.
OMG I've been a longtime fan of Baby Metal!!!!! The trippel peddle in their music is insane!!
Yes. Instead of the standard “Devil Horns”, Babymetal symbolizes the Fox God with the Kitsune hand gesture. I’ve read that Yuimetal accidentally created the gesture, thinking she was doing Devil Horns, and the producers adopted it while they were creating the early lore of Babymetal. (Fans, correct me if I’m wrong.). The skull, in the upper right side of the Babymetal logo was also created by Yuimetal. The hearts in the “B” of their logo was Moametal’s contribution. In the first version of Babymetal’s logo (when they were a sub-unit of Sakura Gakuin and officially known as Jūonbu - Babymetal), there was a lightning bolt which is part of Su-metal’s signature, now omitted.
The original logo Yui=skull Moa=Hearts SU=wings
They were asked to design their own shirts for Sakura Gakuin's first show and Yui drew the Skull,Moa had the Hearts, and SU had a daisy but they went with wings from her Karen Girls days
I heard that story about the fox sign a long time ago, but there is nothing from the band to confirm this that I have seen, it may be buried somewhere in among the early untranslated interviews. They used to do comparatively quite a lot of local media interviews on radio etc. when they first started out, lately not so much choosing to maintain the mystery over the increased exposure they would get by sitting answering questions all the time.
I don't believe Yui was specifically mentioned in the story of how the Fox Sign was first used by Babymetal. I know of two translated sources, one is an early interview in _Nikkei Trendy:_
Kobametal: "The oft-discussed fox sign was originally introduced to the girls when I was teaching them the Maloik sign (the horns, malocchio) and they started playing with shadow puppets to make foxes, which I thought was interesting."
There was also a video interview of the girls on _Hot Wave :_
[MC] I hear its origin was your mistakes, wasn't it?
[SU] Yes. We were shown the photo to try the sign of the horns.
[SU] But we didn't understand well.
[SU] We said "It looks like a fox." and made different signs.
[YUI] Our sign has been the fox sign ever since.
[SU] Seeing our signs, our staff said "Well. The fox sign is alright."
[MC] Your staff accepted it, didn't they?
[SU] Yes, they did.
ua-cam.com/video/0sPscbu72FI/v-deo.html
@@Shoe-metal I'm also reminded of the other interview by soranews24 in 2013:
“[I was hoping] to incite that strange feeling that makes you go ‘what is this?’” KOBAMETAL explains, going on to give a concrete example; “Like the movie Kill Bill. I think Tarantino probably really likes Japan, and he worked hard on reproducing that in the movie, but it’s just slightly off, right? Still, it has a lot of originality.” For KOBAMETAL, that’s where the entertainment is. “[If] we were to do just straight metal-having the girls screaming-it probably wouldn’t be as interesting!”
also had this little mention:
The kitsune sign, for those of you wondering, is the girls’ take on the heavy metal “devil horns.” During a photo shoot, they mistook the horns for a fox (“kitsune”) and they just decided to keep using it. As SU-METAL said, when asked what made BABYMETAL standout, “While we don’t always ‘get’ metal, we’re doing our very best. A lot of things come from our mistakes!” This makes it even more fitting that the group has adopted the kitsune as their de facto mascot.
@@autohmae That last quote from Su-metal aligns with what Koba said in the first interview I quoted, his very next sentence was: "Whatever the case may be, they seem to have enjoyed working on it, trying to think about 'what metal is' on their own and creating something new while being exposed to the music they were given."
Let the METAL KINGDOM come!🙌

Thanks John for the shout-out and coming back with this suggestion.
This is why BabyMetal have no match among any other Japanese artists, top notch worldwide. Many others are finding GOT resemblance on this stage setup, it looks mental. The ten prophets are holding crosiers with "The Other One" logo which is similar to the infinite symbol OO and is the title of upcoming 4th album. The girls are carrying some kind of trident, if you know MoaMetal you know you got be careful with her. 🔱
Here's some official info about this song:
METAL KINGDOM (THRONE)
_It is a powerful anthem ushering in the beginning of a new era while also representing the power and courage to step forward into uncharted territory. The track conveys imagery of one rising powerfully from the throne of silence, with a suitable fanfare announcing this new beginning._
At the end of January at Makuhari Messe they held two great live shows returning to the stage after almost two years. and by far they meet up my expectations with this epic live performance and top notch production.
SuMetal and MoaMetal showing why they're a queen and princess deserving their thrones. The cinematic drone shots are just insane.
We were expecting this live proshot version but we'll have to wait next month for live sound.
We got so many big news and announcements, a new official member is coming (most likely Momoko Okazaki, the one who has been performing with them all these years and latest live concerts) next live shows in April 1 (Fox Day) when returning once again with another headlining shows at PIA ARENA MM Yokohama. Also they performed with a new BM mirror unit coming from another world of this metalverse, so we're guessing maybe some of the older kawaii metal songs they don't play anymore will be back with this new unit, so stay tuned for more but like always OTFGK.
There was some minor issues when SuMetal was singing this live a little bit off, apparently an IEM issue or something but is all good coz we all know it's been a while since performing live and is the premiere of this song, pretty sure next live shows will be better.
You can find the official lyrics pinned in the comments but here's the lyrics translated for you in my next reply.
Thanks for sharing this and don't forget to put your kitsune up!🦊🤘👑
*METAL KINGDOM* lyrics:
LYRICIST: Kitsune of Metal God
ARRANGER: TatsuoMetal
[Verse 1: Sumetal]
We’re going through the passing times
This world is crumbling
We live while wandering
A heart lost in darkness
Hold me tight until dawn
In that bright place
Aim for tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your hands to the lord
Raise your voice to the world
Raise your flag. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey. Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Raise the signal, go on without hesitation
Trust your friend
[Bridge: Sumetal]
Negative words
I don’t need a way back
In that bright place
Let’s live tomorrow
[Pre-Chorus: Moametal & Sumetal]
Raise your head to the lord.
Raise your sword to the sky
Raise your fists. Let’s be together...
[Chorus: Sumetal]
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey
Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
Prove it Burn your life
Believe in miracles
[Verse 2: Sumetal]
It’s the beginning song
Deliver our voice
Resonate, our voices
Open up a new era
Let it ring, it’s our voice
Play it, our singing voice
[Chorus: Sumetal]
The sword of pledge
Raise it up for tomorrow
The unknown path
Create it with those hands
Stand up KINGDOM
Unleash your FREEDOM
Endless journey Endless dream
Wake up KINGDOM
Get it, FREEDOM
It’s dawn, bathing in the light
Cut through the darkness
I saw a video from people at the shows. They said technical issues on day 1 but day 2 everything was fixed. It was after day 2. They said they were glad to see Metal Kingdom again but Monochrome was the star.
@@Jordan-Ramses 🦊🤘🔥
The trident reminds me more of a tuning fork which would make sense in the context of the song?
@@faberkas477 Some fans are finding Spear Of Destiny or more like Lance Of Longinus from Evangelion (NGE) resemblance in the design, for me looks like a trident representing their trinity power.🦊🤘🔱
Must be amazing to see live
Great reaction. I won't repeat everything you've already been told (this time😉).
The Queen was born to rule!
👸👑 🦊
Nice reaction. This song gives off a deep feeling, majestic and strong charisma, reminds me of "Within Temptation - The Reckoning and Supernova",
Babymetal is the best Japanese band, it's on another level and Su voice are amazing, long live Babymetal long live Queen Su...
This video is from BM's revival shows on January 28 and 29, and is said to be from the second day. I went on the first day. I got the impression that it was amazing, but in fact I was moshin' all the time at the back of the stage, so I missed some pretty important moments, ha, huh.
However, the soundtrack for this MV seems to be used still a studio recording, released a little before the shows. So we can enjoy the footage with this. At 6:27, I was a little worried that Su-'s jaw would come off. It was that great there.
excellent content John-Metal, they like to change things up quite a bit, whenever they feel like they have been put in a box, they simply break the box.
If you check out the throne on which Su's sitting on, you'll see the fox signs on it aswell. If you haven't watched "Babymetal Guide" video by Criptic Misery, then that's what you're looking for. For now it's thr most up to date video (up until 2021). An absolute must watch, full of info . It's a bit long 40+ min but Babymetal fans will come regardless to see your reaction. Can't coun't how many times I've seen it now because of reactors 😃😃. Kitsunes up 🤟🦊🤟
This video of them kinda gives me the vibe that they are joining together to, almost like, 'summon' their 3rd sister, their third band member, as at the end of the Makuhari Messe concert Su and Moa are seen walking towards 2 coffins at the back of the stage. Then, a third coffin appeared with a third currently-unidentified member walking toward it. This is what the song is almost telling me in a way. Could be wrong but its the vibes it gives me.
As people have suggested Cryptic Misery's guide to Babymetal. That is the one to do. There is also The history of Suzuka Nakamoto. ua-cam.com/video/Ak9lUmTV8Lw/v-deo.html
There are a ton of old videos from early Babymetal and well before.
🤘🦊
Great reaction, thanks!
Yep, that's a huge production and a freaking epic song and concert opener. Can't wait to see them live!
🤘🦊
BABYMETAL's management company, Amuse, also look after another idol group, Perfume, who are hugely successful in Japan and fairly well known internationally. Perfume's live shows are even more spectacular, filling Japan's big dome venues with complex stage sets, mind-blowing lighting and the odd bit of pyrotechnics. Amuse operates across the entertainment industry too, including TV. They have the knowledge, experience, staff and equipment to do a lot of the work in-house and the costs get spread across multiple acts. If it were just BABYMETAL on their own, they might not have the funds to do some of this stuff. Perfume operate in the world of J-Pop / EDM, so maybe not something you'd want to cover in a reaction, but I'd certainly recommend flicking through some of their live show videos to see what they're up to. They also have an experimental side, where they work with cutting edge technology and performance art groups. They do smaller shows using robotic stage equipment and advanced computer generated visual effects, so if you like to geek-out on live show production tech, there's a lot of dig into.
it's a real video with studio track. thus becoming a MV
The Fox Sign, Throw Up Your Kitsune. Thats exactly what it is. Their version of the horns. And if you look at the thrones... youll see it there
As they say: the money is in performing live, right ? Not selling of the music and Babymetal does not disappoint adapting this idea. 🙂
Yes, they do the fox sign.
Once upon a time, the three girls saw the horns sign with other bands. They did not know or recognize it and associated it with something they did know: the fox. That's why they do the fox sign. As a consequence, management had no choice but to create lore about a fox god.
Someone's ready for The Guide. 🤘🦊🤘
What a show..their fist shows back and japan lifted the shouting ban.what su-metal and Moametal must have felt..amazing

You have GOT to go back and listen to their older stuff!
You should watch Everything You Need To Know About BABYMETAL from CrypticMisery
The Fierce Princess Moa @ 6:54. Don't anyone dare call her small 😁
Queen Su returns with her beautiful death glare @ 7:31 🤘🦊🤘
Thanks for another babymetal reaction!!
Something that many other BabyMetal reactors have watched is the Unhelpful Guide to BabyMetal. This takes you through all the history of the band. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/E9xRiOBG82w/v-deo.html
The theatrics make me think Super Bowl halftime
the video about Babymetal history that is always recommended: "Everything You Need To Know About BABYMETAL - A BABYMETAL Guide" by CrypticMisery.
ua-cam.com/video/gDne0xwniTg/v-deo.html
Great suggestion.🦊🤘
🤘🦊
Wow.....🎉 🤘🦊🤘
🫨< It's like a metal opera❗️
I am convinced that the spears Su and Moa carries are cast iron and impossilbe to lift for a normal person.
Your comment gave me a good laugh and I came here to make a silly comment. But when I went to look something up I found a reference to Ame-no-Nuboko, and now I see that's exactly what they were going for. Damn the foxhole goes deep. 🔱👑🤘
There is a version of this with subtitles in 4K posted by buttons-metal. The subtitles do make quite a diff
Dude, nice reaction. You need to check out Su-Metal being pulled out by the fox on her 20 birthday. Stay metal and stay Babymetal.
🤟🏻🖤🖤🖤🤟🏻
Hi John, you probably have this a dozen times now, but there are a few different guides to Babymetal, but the benchmark would be Cryptic Misery's "Everything You Need To Know About Babymetal - A Babymetal Guide (updated). This video runs for just under 45 minutes but if you really want to know about Babymetal, this is the one to watch. There is a shorter version, but this is really just a jumble of facts and not really any of the fleshing out (the interesting stuff) of those facts. It runs almost 20 minutes, but most who watch this one are left with more questions than answers. So, if you are going to invest 20 minutes in expanding your understanding of Babymetal, you may as well grab some popcorn and settle in for the full version. It is much more fulfilling.
If you are worried that no one will watch your reaction to the guide, don't be. Babymetal fans love seeing others learning about the band, from the beginning, all the way up to their recently broken hiatus. I promise you, the 40 minutes will fly by.
Anyway, here's the link:

This is the video you are looking for.
If you watch Yui and Moa’s audition video you will briefly see Yui throw up a Kitsune sign. That’s the earliest appearance of the Kitsune that I am aware of.
You keep mentioning the stage set up. Honestly I would rate this about a 7 outta 10 compared to what they have done in the past. You want to see them at their finest I suggest " In the Name Of" from the Legend S show. Or anything from the "Tokyo Dome" show. And honestly...I doubt it cost them that much for that stage set up since they are reusing pieces from prior shows. Only high ticket items I saw would be the 3 thrones.
#kitsune
If you want to dive into the Babymetal history, you need to watch the well made guide about them from CrypticMisery channel! ua-cam.com/video/gDne0xwniTg/v-deo.html
Enjoy it!! 🤘🦊
At the end of the show it was announced that on April 1st (Fox Day) and the next live show, there will be a 3rd permanent member added. Of course all the talk in the chat rooms is that Yui is coming back. We shall see. Had not noticed 3 thrones until you said it.
It's going to Momoko. She was the 3rd at this concert. I just don't see how they can not have it be her.
Llegué temprano💜💜👍👍🇻🇪💞💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
😮😮 Is it Cryptic Misery's guide time? I think its Cryptic Misery's guide time!!!!!
Bts has one song they sang in mandarin (which i didn't know until now)" boy in love" and I think it's the only one of their song in Chinese, I thought it was edited but I saw jk in the studio rehearsing it. There's few of him singing little bit Chinese songs also v and suga singing a kids song .
Su~Metal is related to Japanese multi billionaire Hiroshi Mikitani…He’s is her uncle from her mother side of the family!….All of BabyMetal Production you seen is paid by her uncle and Amuse Company.
I highly recommend the guide by CrypticMisery since you said you want to learn more about them. The full title is: "Everything You Need To Know About BABYMETAL - A BABYMETAL Guide (UPDATED)"
