Awesome! Great song and MV. I do also suggest taking a look at the *Download UK 2016 Live.* This performance captures Babymetal’s potential at their finest: It’s a festival with no stage production, just the girls and the band in their raw form, in the rain, rocking a giant UK metalhead crowd, with amazing crowd engagement to boot. 🤘🦊
_Ossu!_ 🦊🤘🥋 Welcome back to the Foxhole and thanks for coming back with this suggestion. Don't worry watching this official MV first, is one of the few MV that really worth to watch for the first time and understanding the meaning of the song a little bit, as for the live version pay attention my next suggestion. "Karate" is one of their stronger weapons along with "Road Of Resistance" from 2nd album "Metal Resistance" released in 2016. It's an uplifting song about keep fighting besides the obstacles no matter what, and if you take a closer look at the end you'll see in the eyes of their rivals that they're fighting against no other than themselves. Some fans also find anime vibes on BabyMetal songs, the only other song I could find with anime vibes besides this one and "Divine Attack - Shingeki", is "Syncopation" another banger. They watched several footage before making this song, one of those were "Karate Kid" old movie, that's why you see MoaMetal catching a bug, that's a reference to the movie, after this she became the bug catcher expert when traveling on live tour lol. The bats and the concrete blocks testing strength is another infamous Karate reference. Btw just in case, the band playing behind in this MV are hired actors, they got their own set of musicians when performing live called Kami Band, they're not always the same musicians but currently this year they've been playing with a western band unlike early era after 2012 when they had a Japanese band. You can enjoy the live version with the blaster sound of the East Kami Band watching Download Festival 2016 among many others but this one is safe to react. Now with that being said, recently they played this at Rock Am Ring Festival in Germany and they did it like never before plus new super cool outfits or battle dresses, it was really beautiful and there's a proshot clip around but I'm not sure if that is safe for a reaction, you can try if you want, trust me, it'll worth the effort. Also another cool version to watch and meet the new Metalverse subgroup is Karate live at PIA Arena MM 2023, they got their own songs but you can start with this introduction. Next suggestion: - Rondo Of Nightmare with Mischief Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014. See you next time 🦊🤘🔥
BABYMETAL has an extensive history (and lore) which I won’t get into but a quick synopsis: they’ve been around since 2010, and started when their lead singer - known as Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) - was about twelve, and the two "cheerleaders" (officially "scream and dance" (backing vocals)) - Moametal (Moa Kikuchi) and Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) - were both around eleven. Unfortunately, Yui left the group in 2018 because of health concerns, and early in 2023 Momoko Okazaki (Momometal) was named a member of the group. They do not play instruments but are backed by the Kami Band - session musicians who are among the best that Japan (and the U.S.) has to offer. BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal" - cute metal), and they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made listening to metal FUN! They have, to date, four studio albums with over fifty songs, and have been on a number of world tours. It is common knowledge among their devoted fans (known as "The One") that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they do have several music videos that are real works of art. I suggest you go back to the beginning, and react to their first two music videos, "Doki Doki Morning" and "Iine!" (pronounced "E-nay"), both released in 2012. You’ll notice those are the first two on this list of recommended songs (along with suggested versions). The first sixteen are from what I've come to call "The Golden Age of BABYMETAL" or simply "The Yui Era". This list also includes all four songs of the BABYMETAL sub-group Black BABYMETAL (just Yui and Moa while Su is chilling): Doki Doki Morning (official music video) ua-cam.com/video/cirhQ8iLdbw/v-deo.htmlsi=k84SUx4P01t9M5ic Iine!

If nothing else, it can be used as a reference to find high quality versions of BABYMETAL songs without mucking about - if they are on the list. Anyway . . . . Another recommendation (read "challenge"): react to an entire BABYMETAL concert. I suggest: "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" ua-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html and/or "Budokan Black Night" (2014) ua-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wBwsBfjsKH9zWxA5YOOUkSI.html Both concerts are, in a word, incredible. A technical suggestion, if I may: when you pause, go back about five or ten seconds before resuming, that way you regain the flow of the song. You may or may not know that if you tap your keyboard space bar once it will pause the video, another tap will resume play. Also, if you tap the left arrow key once, it will rewind the video five seconds (a second tap for another five seconds), and tapping the right arrow key will advance the video five seconds. This may also help baffle the YT copyright police. Enjoy your trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!) Keep rockin' BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall!) KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Nice! Please check out the *Download UK 2016* live version if you want to genuinely see the talent: Festival, zero stage production, in the rain, and still an amazing performance from all members with an epic crowd moment. This performance captures Babymetal’s raw potential at its finest! 🤘🦊
Good reaction.🦊'Karate' was the lead single for their second album (2016). It is about fighting adversity, when life knocks you down and everything seems too hard so you're hurt and crying, its about standing up and fighting on, helping each other through the hard times. They used karate to illustrate this because as a Japanese martial art it reflects their culture - that was a very important thing for them as well. As with a lot of their songs it is also about always moving forwards. In the video the figures in white were the girls all along and they were conjuring up their own inner demons to fight against. They beat the first, the second knocked them down but they got up to eventually defeat themselves (did you notice the reflections of each of the girls in their own eyes when the masks shattered and it was revealed as them? Not many people spot that). They did watch a lot of martial arts movies to get ideas for the choreo as they wanted it to look as authentic as possible (but they are not martial artists). Moa catching the fly was a nod to Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid. Mr Miyagi may have used chop sticks (and it may have taken him two or three films before he caught one), Moa caught her fly with her eyes closed - first time .... and she let it go. We all know Moa wouldn't hurt a fly. This song and video won 2 awards. "Best Metal Video in MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2016" and "Best Metal Song in 6th Annual Loudwire Music Awards". A spectacular live version with all the lights, staging etc for you to watch would be from Budokan 2021 (you could always do another reaction) or you could watch them at a festival with no special effects etc performing in the English rain at Download 2016.
Nice reaction, thanks! "Karate" is on their poppier side even structurally but that main riff comes out from nowhere and hits you like a bus. And it hits harder live, of course. This music video is one of their best (if not the best: multiple award winning, etc.) and it pretty much explains the lyrics, which are about resilience and endurance. 🤘🦊
@@Hymnodic For the record, I don't use the "poppy" adjective as a necessarily bad thing. I alternatively call it "mainstreamable". The melodies, vocals and even the song's structure is pop infused. So, I consider it belongs to that side. Not talking about the down tuned djenty metalcore guitars and so on.
👍👍Awesome performance and MV. This MV was my first experience with BABYMETAL so it is special to me. Great reaction. I will suggest BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL) which is an Epic performance and is a must see. 🦊🦊🦊 🖖❤
I love the songs theme of fighting to push yourself onwards in the face of overwhelming adversity. Genuinely had me in tears when the song first clicked and I also couldn't wait for more Babymetal? I'm going to suggest "Metal Kingdom" from Babymetal Blacknight 2023 concert as a future reaction ❤🦊🤘
Very cool!!! The band usually has special moments at shows. Two videos that I like, one with the Kami Band(Estern) and another with the Kami Band(Western) doing their solos at the beginning of songs: ua-cam.com/video/8EtGgVdTY8E/v-deo.html Babymetal - Catch Me If You Can (Fox Festival 2017 Live) Eng Subs (Estern Kami Band) ua-cam.com/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/v-deo.html BABYMETAL | Kagerou (with Kami Band Intro) | LIVE Compilation (HQ) (Western Kami Band) Enjoy Babymetal!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Next suggestion: - *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015), it's the most epic live version and with the best sound and technical execution by the best musicians you can find in Japan.🦊🤘🔥
This song is heavier live! Plus, now that the girls are in their 20's, their voices don't sound "child-like" anymore which makes this song sound even better, in my opinion! Also, their crowd interaction during this song is amazing, and hearing the crowd sing along and chant is my favorite!🤘🦊🤘
Yes, here is a good version: ua-cam.com/video/XpGRYhY897E/v-deo.htmlsi 😁 Or... even better, he can watch the "Live in Japan" version from their official channel.
@@Hymnodic It's about the history and the significance of the performance. Although I admit that I'm starting to enjoy the way the western kamis play power metal. 😁

You have yet to experience THE best LIVE band on the planet (your last reaction "The One" was also an MV without LIVE audio, actual Kami Band instrumentals or actual crowd noise).

Metal Kingdom LIVE from PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from the For The Fox God channel
Megitsune LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from Hymnodic channel
Monochrome LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from Hymnodic channel
Road Of Resistance LIVE at PIA ARENA Hymnodic channel
Also Karate LIVE at 2016 Download Festival in the UK where 60,000+ British metal heads sing along with the girls.
Your list keeps growing.😆
