For context for the other viewers, the original song says 15th. This version says 20th, became it was moa's 20th. A little jp culture: traditionally, japanese people celebrating their coming of age, their 'hatachi', at age 20. This concert was for moa's coming of age. For them, its a big deal.
7:40 they now have a 3rd member called "momometal" who does do some growling stuff! She also sang this song last year for her 21st birthday and growled on it, she also did that in the song "RATATATA" featuring electric callboy, definitely worth a listen
Good reaction. Metal isn't all screaming after all and BABYMETAL has brought melody back to metal with their clean vocals. This was a very special performance of 'Headbanger' in 2019 celebrating Moametal's 20th birthday with a change of lyric to "this special night of my 20th". 20 is the official coming of age in Japan, so she was officially an adult. The original song was recorded in 2012 when Su-metal was 14, Yuimetal and Moametal were 12, not quite 13. It is about a girl going to her first concert on her 15th birthday, but 15 is also significant in Japan as that marks the end of compulsory education, so the girl is realising she has important life decisions to make and she will no longer be considered as a child, so she is etching this special night of her 15th into her heart so she will never forget. In 2014 at concerts on or near their own 15th birthdays Yui (in Paris) and Moa (in Cologne) were handed the mic and stand by Su, just as happened here, to take over lead vocals for the second half of the song. In March 2023 new third member Momometal got her chance to take lead vocals the day before her 21st birthday. BABYMETAL are masters of crowd engagement and crowd control, that is a major part of what Moa and Momo (and previously Moa and Yui) do. 'Megitsune' live at PIA Arena in April 2023 or live at Legend MM in March 2024 will show you more of what they are all about.
This is a clip from their July 2019 show in Nagoya city, Japan, 'Legend M'. Nagoya is MoaMetal's hometown, and this special stage was held to celebrate her 20th birthday. The original lyrics of this song have a 15 year old girl as a main character, but BM replaces that 15 with 20 and has held live shows to celebrate the members' 15th and 20th birthdays ever. Thank you from Japan!
Babymetal's anniversary celebrations prove that all the members are great vocalists too, contrary to the criticisms of haters. There are videos with Yui and Momoko singing "Headbanger" too. Babymetal always surprises. 🦊🦊🦊
⚡ 💕 / 🤘 BABYMETAL's newest and youngest member Momometal (Momoko Okazaki) actually does some harsh vocals. You can hear her growling on 'RATATATA' - the collaboration with Electric Callboy, live versions of 'メタり！！(Metali)', and the versions of 'Meta Taro' and 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' they performed at LEGEND MM, the two shows that celebrated her 21st birthday. Her 'Momobanger!' version of 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!' was performed on her last night as a 20 year old. So they were able to keep the lyric change of "hatachi" (20 years old) instead of "ichigo" (1 + 5). NOTE: 15 is usually "juu-go" (10 + 5), but they use "ichigo" in the song. Ichigo can also mean strawberry, and is part of an expression that means "once in a lifetime".
Awesome explanation. Momo versions are the best 🤩 I was happy to have seen her version last. Otherwise the other versions wouldn't get my attention anymore. But since those stole my heart first. They also keep on crossing by in my playlist.
Nitpicky, they made a concert for her last night as a 20 year olf and her first Day as a 21 year old. The basic problem was, when she got 20 she was still a silent Avenger, not an official Member. And this concert had the additional purpose to teach her the old Babymetal Songs. Koba had not expected that these old songs would be needed for his old girls but after 100 concerts in one year and most filled to capacity he changed his opinion. When Su performed Uki, uki Morning it shocked even Moa tha Su had no problem to reach her 12 year old voice.
Nice reaction.. One of my favorite songs, there are several different versions of this song, girls sing it when they celebrate their birthdays. Next check out another great Babymetal item "Megitsune".

Welcome back to Babymetal and a fun reaction. Babymetal's live performances are legendary for a reason and you've just witnessed one of them. Right back to their very early days when they would actually perform in strip malls and very small venues they always had a special relationship with their audiences. Babymetal finished their sixth world tour last summer and just wrapped up a two month tour of North and Sough America. Until April 2023 Babymetal really didn't have any growls. But in that month they inducted their first and only new member Momoko or Momometal. Who does growl and just adds a wonderful energy to this already wonderful band. Just as an aside Su (lead vocals) just won Female Metal Vocalist of the 2024 Metal Awards. I'd like to suggest a performance which has become a favorite for people new to Babymetal. It is from the concert I just mentioned. The song is: Monochrome, PIA Arena, Clear Night, April 2023 and it is a classic (link follows): ua-cam.com/video/XJZhy7fWNyY/v-deo.html
First of all: Moa is perfect! This headbanger version is absolutely amazing! Very good reaction to our girls, with this first song. If I may suggest a new reaction, I think you should watch and react to Road of Resistance live in Japan. Believe me, it's amazing! This is the best way to end my weekend! See you! 🤟🦊🌸🌸🌸🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Scott! Babymetal live is bucket list. Monochrome and Road of Resistance, that first official live one, are epic too. Glad you brought up seeing them alone vs the Collab. Next you gotta try Spiritbox when they do their own thing. Love the channel!
Nice! All Babymetal shows are amazing. This was the special version for Moa’s 20th birthday in 2019. Babymetal doesn’t really do harsh vocals. Although, their new 3rd member Momometal have done a few on occasions. Suggestions: *Monochrome (Pia Arena MM):* A melodic and somber vibe. *Road of Resistance (Pia Arena MM):* Ultimate anthem, epic in every way. 🤘🦊
Congratulations to Suzuka Nakamoto (Lead singer) for being voted MA Netal Awards Best Female Metal Singer 2024 In my opinion BABYMETAL is THE best LIVE band on the planet Hear Suzuka's beautiful vocals in performance below Suggest Monochrome LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro shot from Hymnodic channel
Great reaction. You should react to Tales Of The Destinies, Syncopation, From Dusk Till Dawn, Brand New Day, Starlight - Shine (Legend M) - Arkadia (Trilogy Of Lights) You can find the videos in the links below For LIVE I suggest using the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource ua-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/v-deo.html There's more information in the description of that video There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
Nearly all their songs are like this...Before i went to a concert i watched videos all day to remember. I feel its also like baseball in Japan. Where i live the Hanshin Tigers team have songs for each player and different way you hit your little plastic bats and i always wondered how everyone in the 40k crowd knew them. Babymetal is a step up from that...Megitsune would be a great next song to try!
The bowing is called "dogeza hedabon". They took the strongest form of apologetic posture and turned it into a full-bodied form of headbanging. So in actuality everyone was headbanging. That said, Moa is the Headmistress of Hedabon, the Maiden of Mischief and the Angel of Love. ❤ Keep reacting to Babymetal and you will understand why. 🤘🦊🤘
> It's like everybody knew what to do. They do. For me, the best example of this is the performance of Babymetal Death, at PIA arene 2023 (Babymetal Begins - The Other One clear night). They had not performed this song for more than 5 years (for sad reasons), it takes less than 2 seconds for the whole crowd to react, and be at full power. Gotta love The One. 🦊🤘#notacult
Partial Compilation, live full is way better. Each performance is unique, lyrics are 15 year old girl goes to first metal concert, changes to 20 year old for special occasions ( Su's 16 , Yui & Moa 20th, Momo bday). You have to watch the live full versions to get the full meaning. Su is normally the main singer, only sometimes Moa (and now Momo) are the main focus.
Nice reaction! And nice choice of the live performance. "Legend M" was a legendary concert. Do you know any other "band" where a backup dancer could take over the lead, and sing a song like being the regular front woman? I only know of BABYMETAL being capable of doing such a thing 😉 You should watch Momometal´s performance of this, at her birthday concert "Legend MM". Even more wild 😁 Keep reacting to BABYMETAL, you´re in for wild and FUN ride!
The audience participation for Babymetal is unmatched. How many bands do you know that can get the entire audience to bow down and worship them? It has most likely been said in the comments that this performance was Moametal's birthday, which is why Su-Metal handed off the microphone to her and swapped places. It has become a tradition for Babymetal to do this on birthdays.
Good reactions 👊🏽⚡️Babymetal’s studio are tracks are good but they are musical storyboards. The music as you both noticed comes alive in concert. I recommend their song, “Road of resistance”. (Live in Japan version) 🦊🤘🏾

This version is referred to as the Moa Banger version since an exception was made to let her sing lead as it was her birthday
