Your reaction is very similar to my first reaction. I felt the same way, that suddenly I could connect with the band, so I started to look into them more. The bass player, BOH, said in an interview that when the Kamiband was first assembled, the producer's instructions were to forget that Babymetal are teenage idols and just play as hard and as technically as they could. He said that playing for Babymetal is his favourite among all of his projects. All of the band members seem to have a tremendous amount of respect for the girls and vice versa. After this concert, BOH posted a vlog where he talks about Babymetal like a proud uncle and it's the sweetest thing. For the next live performance, Road of Resistance (Live in Japan) is a great next stop
Thank you! Yeah it was so cool to see them highlighted in this way. You can really feel the mutual respect within the band and the love for what they're making. 🙂🤘
Now.. remind yourself of that Waltz the next time you listen to the bass progression/mid section of Orion by Metallica. In fact, if you play Cliff's part to tempo of Rondo of Nightmare, it slots in perfectly.
"That was my favourite Babymetal song!" is something we all say after every Babymetal song. Great, appreciative reactions and I think you're both falling fast down the Fox Hole!
If you look closely at Hideki's drumkit as he is in his solo, you'll see an iPad next to him on a stand. That is there for 2 reasons: 1. for some songs, Babymetal does play to a backing track. As you've noticed, there is no piano, keyboard, or synth on stage, so what you are hearing is the backing track. That is all controlled by Hideki, and fed through their in-ear monitors, so they are all in sync with the timing of the track. 2. effects. For some of their songs, like Uki Uki Midnight, there are effects on the drums so Hideki can actually play the EDM drum beats, instead of that being a backing track. So it isn't that they are just that good (they are!), but they are that tight because they are so in time with what is being played.
Love that this type of comments are under every video. As a new fan I appreciate the info. Three days ago I didn't even know about Babymetal, and since then I can't stop listening.
To give the girls some breathing space during their concert and to keep it a continuous show for the audience, they did 3 type of 'break'. - Black Babymetal - Yui and Moa only performing while Su takes a breather - Su-metal solo - Yui and Moa taking a break - Kami band solo - All 3 girls got a short rest. - Audience - Non-stop entertainment.
⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥 That's about all I could ask for in a reaction. : ) I liked BABYMETAL before this, but Su's solo songs from the Budokan concerts made me a diehard fan.
Nice again & thanks from Japan 有難う💛。I love this song and listen to it at least once a day. Kamis' (=Gods') super plays are excellent enough as a main event, but once the 16-year-old Queen emerges from the underground, she colors everything differently and turns Kamis' plays into a ritual to summon her. Talking about "calming element" your girl friend mentioned, I seriously look forward to comments from both of you after watching the video of "BABYMETAL 'NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW' Legend-S-Baptism XX"
Definitely pulled down the foxhole this time 😄. You have been kind enough to reply to a number of my messages whether it be about Nightwish or Babymetal. They've both kept me sane during lock down. Babymetal should put a smile on the most grumpiest of faces. I would suggest other Su solos such as 'Akatsuki ' or 'No Rain no Rainbow'. 'Karate' official video or live will do - such a 'face melting' riff. Loved the reaction - keep em coming!
Great reaction, thanks! And this was a great way to start my SU-nday. This was a great performance and she's called "the Queen" for a good reason. Kamis are outstanding, of course! :) See you next time, guys!
@@ThomFoolery1 Here is a good introduction. It's a collab. with Amy Lee. They are a Japanese heavy rock/metal band that use a lot of traditional instruments. I think Amy recorded 3 or 4 songs with them Wagakkiband Ft. Amy Lee Bring Me To Life (Live) ua-cam.com/video/PelfG8hn-7c/v-deo.html
This arrangement is so fantastic, completely creepy. When Su is dancing with the stage spinning around her, I always picture her as being in a music box, and it just adds to it.
it is a dark song in that she is being chased by an orge and she cant get away and then when the song stops and slow is when she has given up the fact that she can get away and now she has accepted her fate. not bad for a 16 year old girl. the more you react to Babymetal the more you will understand how great they are. their productions of the bigger shows are all mind blowing. when you go to see them you get a show. it is true entertainment.
Awesome... Nightwish and Babymetal reactions, perfect channel for me. If you want more face melting great guitar solos, Akatsuki, from the same show. It's another Su solo, and it's also amazing.
Ok, now I feel cheated I didn't get to see your lady's first reaction for your past Babymetal's reactions lol. If you want more of the band's solos, check out 'Catch Me if You Can' with intro ofc. I hope you guys keep continueing your journey down the fox hole~
In this video, Su is just 16 years old performing at the famous Budokan arena in Japan. I believe BABYMETAL are still the youngest band/artists to perform there. The Beatles have performed there too. She has such a commanding presence that you forget that she is a tiny girl on that stage, at just 5ft -1inch (155cm) tall. She may look like a tiny mortal, but she is a metal goddess. I read a recent comment that described the lyrics best: She is singing about "a nightmare running away from a monster she can not see...she is exhausted and hides in a well. And she gives up and just asked the monster to show itself to know what she was running from before she dies.". This is one of their darker songs. Of the 50+ BABYMETAL songs, Su's solo songs have more depth lyrically. BABYMETAL concerts like these, especially the ones in Japan, are about 1.5+ hours long, and because the girls go hard on every song, the other two girls, Moa and Yui, use Su's solo as a chance to take a break. Great reaction! 🦊🤘
Thank you for sharing this information. All these facts make Babymetal even more amazing. I was wondering where the other two were so thanks for explaining. 🙂
Excellent reaction, I really enjoyed that. To give you even more to be impressed at about Su, the part where she looked like she was levitating with her head bowed really was her singing. I had always assumed that part was either on the backing track with the piano and additional instruments or that there was an effect added to make her sound like she was singing through a tube (in other shows that may have been the case), but a musician who reacted to this explained she was doing it herself by pressing the mic against her nose and singing across the top of it (which would explain the angle of her head and how she was holding the mic). Su was 16. BABYMETAL are the youngest average age female band to headline at the Budokan (a very prestigious venue). Younger bands have played there as an act within bigger shows maybe singing one song or whatever, but just one very slightly younger male band headlined their own show (somebody did once tell me their name but I can't recall it at all). I'm looking forward to whatever BABYMETAL song you react to next time ... they will surprise you again and you'll have another new favourite song.

Awesome reaction! Loved your shocked faces. Kamis are insane. Always getting goosebumps seeing Su rising from beneath the stage. Next reaction should be either "Akatsuki live at Budokan Blacknight" or "Road of Resistance live in Japan". Heads up: Road of Resistance tends to get blocked, other reactors have put the Babymetal logo over the onscreen video to avoid the copyright block! Have fun!
Babymetal mixed in instrumental solo intros every here and there in live performances, not in MVs tho. It's part of the show. Here are some songs that (usually) have similar intros: - CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - AWADAMA FEVER - YAVA - RONDO OF NIGHTMARE - KAGEROU And of course there are instrumental songs without the singing: - DEATH - IN THE NAME OF
It's funny you touched on the having good time and showing it as a metal musician. A lasting memory for me as a 13yo is ,1992, seeing Dimebag from Pantera smiling his ass off while shedding up a storm and having a great time. From that point I figured out heavy music can make you feel good and listened for heavy music that made me smile .2020 found heavy music that makes me smile , it worked.😀🦊🤘
I think most of us fans agree that the Kami band deserves more time in the spotlight. It‘s a real pity that they are tucked away in the background most of the time and have to wear those masks now. Their contribution to BABYMETAL‘s success (at least in the west) cannot be overstated. Rondo is one of my favourite songs, the haunting atmosphere is awesome. It’s not particularly sad, but the sheer beauty of the melody and Su‘s voice sometimes makes me tear up. If you don’t mind doing another Su solo next, my recommendation would be Akatsuki: ua-cam.com/video/DWRMx68jRCk/v-deo.html
Super reaction! *BabyMetal* was originally created as a Sub-Unit of a school-themed female idol group named *Sakura Gakuin. (さくら学院)* They had several sub-units, such as: *- Baton Club Twinklestars* *- Tenis Club Pastel Wind* *- Cooking Club MiniPatii* *- Heavy Music Club BabyMetal* *- Newspapers Club SCOOPERS* *- Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?* *- Go Home Club sleepiece* The sub-unit *Heavy Music Club BabyMetal* attracted a lot of everyone's attention with their first song and video *Doki Doki Morning,* they did not waste the situation and continued with the theme until *BabyMetal* became independent of *Sakura Gakuin.* They gained international fame with the song *Gimme Chokko !!* *Sakura Gakuin* has 12 members who some graduated each year and new members are received for a total of 12. *Sakura Gakuin* began in 2010 and continues to this day. They have more than 10 albums, normally they release 1 new album every year when some of their members graduate from *Sakura Gakuin.* Like *BabyMetal, Sakura Gakuin* performs live and uniquely choreographed for each song. I also listen to *Sakura Gakuin* since 2015 day after day ... Each song is unique and different, to say that the songs of the sub-unit called *MiniPatii,* (which by the way, were presented by Yui and Moa) their instrumental it is 8 bit sounds! And the sub-unit *Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?* With Disco music instruments! In case you would like to react to Sakura Gakuin: *My Graduation Toos* - Here you can see Suzuka, Moa and Yui very young *Sakuraino No Avenue* - Suzuka Nakamoto *C'est La Vie* - My favorite song *Monochrome* - From the 10th album released in 2020 *Miracle, Pattyful, Hamburguer* - from the MiniPati sub-unit *Dear Mr. Socrates* - from the Baton Club Twinklestars sub-unit *Science Girl, Silence Boy* - from the sub-unit Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?

Nice video! I would assume that the others already told you some information about the song. I will just add some. We, BABYMETAL fans believe that the intro was done to summon Sumetal from hell and you need a talent of that caliber to perform the ritual. In the part when Su used a certain vocal technique (dunno the specific term), she pleads the unseen creature to at least show its figure to her right before it kills her. Also, in these Su-metal's solos, Yui and Moa were taking a break and it's also believed that they were doing their homeworks backstage. So, for my suggestion, I would like to suggest their song "Akatsuki" Live at Budokan Black Night. Its from the same concert with this video and this is my favorite among Su's solos. The melodies, the instruments, everything is at its best. So I hope that you would do this next. Catch you at the foxhole!
I love how everyone's reaction to the first two guitar solos is headbanging "Man, he's shredding it." Then, when you get to the bass solo, it's just literally jaw-dropped awe!
Your faces communicated pretty well that, after you got roughed up by the band members, you got all but finished off with a figurative punch to the face by a 16 year old Japanese girl who was maybe 155cm/5'1" at the time. I don't think you expected that when you started this channel ;) I agree, you can't really pinpoint a song that's "BABYMETAL style", because everything is essentially their style and no song is really comparable to another. I think the early songs (in other words, available on UA-cam) that best represent Babymetal are the live performances of Megitsune, Headbanger and Ijime Dame Zettai. These three songs, while being completely different from one another, include everything they do best and which is essential BABYMETAL. Slow/quiet parts, fast/heavy parts, a lot of transitions, constant high energy on stage, the band shines, Su's vocals shine, Moa & Yui shine with their choreo, the lyrics are about something the girls can relate to and of course crowd interaction. You already did two of them, so maybe you should do Ijime Dame Zettai (No More Bullying, Forever or lit. Bullying, No Good, Absolutely) next, live at Sonisphere festival in the UK in 2014, which was their first performance in front of a big crowd in the west ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html Unfortunately the band took a backseat at shows, especially in their 2019 pro-shot concerts. They were really far back on stage and you really needed to look for them to know there even was a band. The solos/intros started decreasing in 2017 and the last intro they did was at Yui's last show in Oct 2017. In 2019 they even started to wear masks, as you already mentioned, probably because of the addition of the "Western Kami Band" they did their EU/US tour with. If you consider Babymetal lore, the Kami Band members don't have names, they are only the Gods of Guitar, God of Bass and God of Drums, so they probably started to wear masks because they didn't want to introduce even more "Gods". Luckily the band was more prominent again in their two night 2020 pro-shot concerts in January and the Western Kamis even got an intro again on the second night before Kagerou. The two bands even performed together for the last song both nights, which was pretty incredible. But, BABYMETAL is the girls, so even if I don't really like how the band got almost irrelevant on stage in 2019, you can't really blame management for giving Su, Moa and the Avenger on stage the almost exclusive spotlight. The shows definitely weren't worse because of it and it's also not like the band wasn't incredible just because we didn't see them as much.
The “Mischiefs of Metal Gods" intro is a ritual performed by the gods of guitar, bass & drum to summon the Metal Queen Su-Metal. because in this song her human soul has been trapped in the recurring nightmare with no way to escape. the Kami Band in this show are : - Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo) in the past usually play with 6 string, but now he's using 7 or 8 string. - Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo) in this song he's using 7 string guitar named "Golden Moon". but, during the extra show "BM Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan" in 2019, both him & Leda was using 9 string guitar (ESP E-II MF-9 BabyMetal). - B.O.H (6 string bass) - Hideki Aoyama (drum) his little brother (Yuki Aoyama) and father (Jun Aoyama) also a drummers. but, sadly both passed away. his father is consider as one's of the best drummer coming from Japan.
Normally i don't like ads, but as I mentioned to many BM reactors before: the Budokan bluray is very cheap. I payed under 10 Euros (Amazon) and it is worth every Penny! So get yourself a nice christmas gift! Greets from Germany and stay safe!
Great reaction, having your gal there made it even better! Could be wrong, but you can't just book that venue, I think you have to be invited to play Budokan ("THE ONE" will let us know). Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Great reaction! Like many other people, i had heard of Babymetal but didn' really give it a try due to the gimmick of young cute girls singing and dancing to metal. But during the first lockdown i dived into them and other japanese bands and got blown away. I would also recommend other Japanese rock/metal bands like Band Maid, Lovebites, Waggaki Band, Mary 's Blood, Nemophila etc. Also (and that goes for all of them) try to react to their live performances, they all give a unique and amazing show and the crowd is really into it. Greetings from Greece, stay safe and rock on!
Awesome reaction as always! If you enjoy how talented the Kami are you should definitely check out Hill of Wisteria live by them. There are two different versions on UA-cam, one was done before one of the guitarists (Mikio) passed away, the second is done at a tribute concert to raise money for Mikio’s family after his passing. Try to react to the one with Mikio in it before doing the one after he has died to get the full context of the emotions on display in the memorial version. But either way it’s an incredible instrumental performance I can guarantee you will love.
Great reaction guys. To see more of the kami bands excellence, please react to “ CATCH ME IF YOU CAN”, also live at the Budokan. Do not play the live compilation.
Nice choice - a Su solo. Babymetal always shine brightest live! Keep on reacting to Babymetal, please. You know you're watching Babymetal when your face is melting around your big smile - that's the Kawaii/Cute Metal effect! Another song with a set of 4 solos at the start is Catch Me If You Can, the best heavyAF Metal song ever about playing Hide and Seek and this version has English subs too so you can sing along! ua-cam.com/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/v-deo.html . Oh, and another Su solo of epic proportions with a guitar duet in the middle is Akatsuki ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
that's a common take, but the name "mischief of the gods" suggests an alternate explanation -- while the girls are away, the gods will play. but when su returns, they're all business.
Backstory of Kami band. The fox god summoned the Gods of metal to assist Su, Yui, and Moa on their journey to unite the world of Metal. Mikiko who sadly passed away in 2018 was also one of the Kami gaturist
They never dissapointed, ever ! Great reaction guys. We need more Babymetal🤘🏿🦊🤘🏿 Please try Akatsuki from same concerts . Anyway Epica released some new songs, would you react it ?

The musicians are in the background because you've been watching music videos. They are featured plenty in live performances. The Kami Band doesn't do music videos. Also the music videos are made for the widest possible audience. The concerts are for the fans.
that´s one of the songs, where i could listen to the solos for hours. but the acutal song is a little bit low. but to be fair. it´s really hard to top this freaking intro xD xD xD
Amazing react guys, your face looked like mine when I first heard BABYMETAL! 😱😱😱 For me good music is like that, to connect people and make you feel, not just hear or understand the lyrics, here I am, Brazilian speaking Portuguese watching two people speaking English listening to a band singing in Japanese, and even so by their expressions I could see how you guys felt the music just like me! look forward to more react from BABYMETAL, if you can react to the BABYMETAL GUIDE: ua-cam.com/video/E9xRiOBG82w/v-deo.html&t, you will understand the trajectory of this band that won our hearts and is already 10 years old!
Yes! You right, Goddess!! Su is absolutely Amazing, and the Kami Band are incredible! Great rraction again. Please react to Yava live whit Kami Band intro. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊
Well since Su's Bday is coming up, you should react to Babymetal Death Legend 1997 which was how she celebrated her 16th bday..... ua-cam.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/v-deo.html Oh, and please read the Opening Translation in the description.....It would make the whole performance make a lot more sense.
there are a couple performance videos that aren't recommended, such as some festival footage with grossly incompetent audio mastering, but every babymetal song deserves to be heard.
Yeah, I personaly like to diss Glastonbury show a lot, not to mention I can't stand watching it. It was not BABYMETAL being at fault there though (zombie audience and technical problems were 2 major offenders).

If you look closely at Hideki's drumkit as he is in his solo, you'll see an iPad next to him on a stand. That is there for 2 reasons:

As a bassist, I admire the hell out of BOH's playing.
su's voice is soulpiercing. she has a captivating presence like natural main character
In this video, Su is just 16 years old performing at the famous Budokan arena in Japan. I believe BABYMETAL are still the youngest band/artists to perform there. The Beatles have performed there too. She has such a commanding presence that you forget that she is a tiny girl on that stage, at just 5ft -1inch (155cm) tall. She may look like a tiny mortal, but she is a metal goddess.
I read a recent comment that described the lyrics best: She is singing about "a nightmare running away from a monster she can not see...she is exhausted and hides in a well. And she gives up and just asked the monster to show itself to know what she was running from before she dies.". This is one of their darker songs. Of the 50+ BABYMETAL songs, Su's solo songs have more depth lyrically.
BABYMETAL concerts like these, especially the ones in Japan, are about 1.5+ hours long, and because the girls go hard on every song, the other two girls, Moa and Yui, use Su's solo as a chance to take a break. Great reaction! 🦊🤘
Thank you for sharing this information. All these facts make Babymetal even more amazing. I was wondering where the other two were so thanks for explaining. 🙂
Excellent reaction, I really enjoyed that. To give you even more to be impressed at about Su, the part where she looked like she was levitating with her head bowed really was her singing. I had always assumed that part was either on the backing track with the piano and additional instruments or that there was an effect added to make her sound like she was singing through a tube (in other shows that may have been the case), but a musician who reacted to this explained she was doing it herself by pressing the mic against her nose and singing across the top of it (which would explain the angle of her head and how she was holding the mic).
Su was 16. BABYMETAL are the youngest average age female band to headline at the Budokan (a very prestigious venue). Younger bands have played there as an act within bigger shows maybe singing one song or whatever, but just one very slightly younger male band headlined their own show (somebody did once tell me their name but I can't recall it at all).
I'm looking forward to whatever BABYMETAL song you react to next time ... they will surprise you again and you'll have another new favourite song.
Thank you again for sharing the information. I love learning this stuff about the band. Glad you enjoyed it! See you next time. 😁

Awesome reaction! Loved your shocked faces. Kamis are insane. Always getting goosebumps seeing Su rising from beneath the stage. Next reaction should be either "Akatsuki live at Budokan Blacknight" or "Road of Resistance live in Japan". Heads up: Road of Resistance tends to get blocked, other reactors have put the Babymetal logo over the onscreen video to avoid the copyright block! Have fun!
Thanks very much! 😀🤘
すばらしいリアクションをありがとう！🤘🦊🤘
Babymetal mixed in instrumental solo intros every here and there in live performances, not in MVs tho. It's part of the show. Here are some songs that (usually) have similar intros:
- CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
- AWADAMA FEVER
- YAVA
- RONDO OF NIGHTMARE
- KAGEROU
And of course there are instrumental songs without the singing:
- DEATH
- IN THE NAME OF
Great !
Your reaction are so fun.
Thanks very much!
Loved your reaction. This is a killer song!
It's funny you touched on the having good time and showing it as a metal musician. A lasting memory for me as a 13yo is ,1992, seeing Dimebag from Pantera smiling his ass off while shedding up a storm and having a great time. From that point I figured out heavy music can make you feel good and listened for heavy music that made me smile .2020 found heavy music that makes me smile , it worked.😀🦊🤘
I'm very much enjoying your guys' reaction. :D
I think most of us fans agree that the Kami band deserves more time in the spotlight. It‘s a real pity that they are tucked away in the background most of the time and have to wear those masks now. Their contribution to BABYMETAL‘s success (at least in the west) cannot be overstated.
Rondo is one of my favourite songs, the haunting atmosphere is awesome. It’s not particularly sad, but the sheer beauty of the melody and Su‘s voice sometimes makes me tear up.
If you don’t mind doing another Su solo next, my recommendation would be Akatsuki: ua-cam.com/video/DWRMx68jRCk/v-deo.html
Super reaction! *BabyMetal* was originally created as a Sub-Unit of a school-themed female idol group named *Sakura Gakuin. (さくら学院)*
They had several sub-units, such as:
*- Baton Club Twinklestars*
*- Tenis Club Pastel Wind*
*- Cooking Club MiniPatii*
*- Heavy Music Club BabyMetal*
*- Newspapers Club SCOOPERS*
*- Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?*
*- Go Home Club sleepiece*
The sub-unit *Heavy Music Club BabyMetal* attracted a lot of everyone's attention with their first song and video *Doki Doki Morning,* they did not waste the situation and continued with the theme until *BabyMetal* became independent of *Sakura Gakuin.* They gained international fame with the song *Gimme Chokko !!*
*Sakura Gakuin* has 12 members who some graduated each year and new members are received for a total of 12. *Sakura Gakuin* began in 2010 and continues to this day. They have more than 10 albums, normally they release 1 new album every year when some of their members graduate from *Sakura Gakuin.* Like *BabyMetal, Sakura Gakuin* performs live and uniquely choreographed for each song.
I also listen to *Sakura Gakuin* since 2015 day after day ... Each song is unique and different, to say that the songs of the sub-unit called *MiniPatii,* (which by the way, were presented by Yui and Moa) their instrumental it is 8 bit sounds! And the sub-unit *Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA?* With Disco music instruments!
In case you would like to react to Sakura Gakuin:
*My Graduation Toos* - Here you can see Suzuka, Moa and Yui very young
*Sakuraino No Avenue* - Suzuka Nakamoto
*C'est La Vie* - My favorite song
*Monochrome* - From the 10th album released in 2020
*Miracle, Pattyful, Hamburguer* - from the MiniPati sub-unit
*Dear Mr. Socrates* - from the Baton Club Twinklestars sub-unit
*Science Girl, Silence Boy* - from the sub-unit Science Club Kagaku Kyumei Kiko LOGICA? And so much more!
Sakura Gakuin and BabyMetal are owned by Amuse Inc.

Nice video! I would assume that the others already told you some information about the song. I will just add some.
We, BABYMETAL fans believe that the intro was done to summon Sumetal from hell and you need a talent of that caliber to perform the ritual. In the part when Su used a certain vocal technique (dunno the specific term), she pleads the unseen creature to at least show its figure to her right before it kills her. Also, in these Su-metal's solos, Yui and Moa were taking a break and it's also believed that they were doing their homeworks backstage.
So, for my suggestion, I would like to suggest their song "Akatsuki" Live at Budokan Black Night. Its from the same concert with this video and this is my favorite among Su's solos. The melodies, the instruments, everything is at its best. So I hope that you would do this next.
Catch you at the foxhole!
Thanks very much for the info. I think we'll have to try Akatsuki soon. 😀
That high belt + breakdown is one of the HEAVIEST moments of heavymetal. Holysht.
absolutely amazing and wonderful 💞
Thank you very much for this react ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for nice reaction from Japan.
I am sure you know by now but always always always watch the live versions if possible they are mind blowing
悪夢の輪舞はいつ聞いても心揺さぶられる！非常な世界で生きることの難しさを 魂を揺さぶる声で歌い上げるSU💛
繰り返される悪夢の輪舞へ嘆きの叫びの先きにあるのは たったひとつの想い それはこの歌を聞いた 私たち一人ひとりへの
メッセージ「もう ここから出られないのなら あなたの 姿を見せては くれないか」そうレジスタンスに勇姿を・・・と
I love how everyone's reaction to the first two guitar solos is headbanging "Man, he's shredding it." Then, when you get to the bass solo, it's just literally jaw-dropped awe!
The Kami Band are all well known musicians - they are only in the background, sometimes, in BM.
Such a nice couple! Awesome reaction! Great job! 🤘🦊🤘
Your faces communicated pretty well that, after you got roughed up by the band members, you got all but finished off with a figurative punch to the face by a 16 year old Japanese girl who was maybe 155cm/5'1" at the time. I don't think you expected that when you started this channel ;)
I agree, you can't really pinpoint a song that's "BABYMETAL style", because everything is essentially their style and no song is really comparable to another. I think the early songs (in other words, available on UA-cam) that best represent Babymetal are the live performances of Megitsune, Headbanger and Ijime Dame Zettai. These three songs, while being completely different from one another, include everything they do best and which is essential BABYMETAL. Slow/quiet parts, fast/heavy parts, a lot of transitions, constant high energy on stage, the band shines, Su's vocals shine, Moa & Yui shine with their choreo, the lyrics are about something the girls can relate to and of course crowd interaction. You already did two of them, so maybe you should do Ijime Dame Zettai (No More Bullying, Forever or lit. Bullying, No Good, Absolutely) next, live at Sonisphere festival in the UK in 2014, which was their first performance in front of a big crowd in the west ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
Unfortunately the band took a backseat at shows, especially in their 2019 pro-shot concerts. They were really far back on stage and you really needed to look for them to know there even was a band. The solos/intros started decreasing in 2017 and the last intro they did was at Yui's last show in Oct 2017. In 2019 they even started to wear masks, as you already mentioned, probably because of the addition of the "Western Kami Band" they did their EU/US tour with. If you consider Babymetal lore, the Kami Band members don't have names, they are only the Gods of Guitar, God of Bass and God of Drums, so they probably started to wear masks because they didn't want to introduce even more "Gods". Luckily the band was more prominent again in their two night 2020 pro-shot concerts in January and the Western Kamis even got an intro again on the second night before Kagerou. The two bands even performed together for the last song both nights, which was pretty incredible.
But, BABYMETAL is the girls, so even if I don't really like how the band got almost irrelevant on stage in 2019, you can't really blame management for giving Su, Moa and the Avenger on stage the almost exclusive spotlight. The shows definitely weren't worse because of it and it's also not like the band wasn't incredible just because we didn't see them as much.
Thank you so much for sharing all of the information. I'm loving learning all of these things about the band and seeing the amazing support. 😀🤘
The “Mischiefs of Metal Gods" intro is a ritual performed by the gods of guitar, bass & drum to summon the Metal Queen Su-Metal. because in this song her human soul has been trapped in the recurring nightmare with no way to escape.
the Kami Band in this show are :
- Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo)
in the past usually play with 6 string, but now he's using 7 or 8 string.
- Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo)
in this song he's using 7 string guitar named "Golden Moon". but, during the extra show "BM Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan" in 2019, both him & Leda was using 9 string guitar (ESP E-II MF-9 BabyMetal).
- B.O.H (6 string bass)
- Hideki Aoyama (drum)
his little brother (Yuki Aoyama) and father (Jun Aoyama) also a drummers. but, sadly both passed away. his father is consider as one's of the best drummer coming from Japan.
Normally i don't like ads, but as I mentioned to many BM reactors before: the Budokan bluray is very cheap. I payed under 10 Euros (Amazon) and it is worth every Penny! So get yourself a nice christmas gift! Greets from Germany and stay safe!
Great, again:-)
Great reaction, having your gal there made it even better!
Could be wrong, but you can't just book that venue, I think you have to be invited to play Budokan ("THE ONE" will let us know).
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
Excited for your Road of Resistance reaction. 🦊🦊🦊
Her voice hits as hard as the instruments
E X C E L E N T E! The Best BabyMetal s song ever Beauty haunted
Great reaction! Like many other people, i had heard of Babymetal but didn' really give it a try due to the gimmick of young cute girls singing and dancing to metal. But during the first lockdown i dived into them and other japanese bands and got blown away. I would also recommend other Japanese rock/metal bands like Band Maid, Lovebites, Waggaki Band, Mary 's Blood, Nemophila etc. Also (and that goes for all of them) try to react to their live performances, they all give a unique and amazing show and the crowd is really into it. Greetings from Greece, stay safe and rock on!
Thanks very much! I know what you mean, once you get past that, you see how amazing they are. Excited to explore more of these bands. Cheers! :)
Awesome reaction as always! If you enjoy how talented the Kami are you should definitely check out Hill of Wisteria live by them. There are two different versions on UA-cam, one was done before one of the guitarists (Mikio) passed away, the second is done at a tribute concert to raise money for Mikio’s family after his passing. Try to react to the one with Mikio in it before doing the one after he has died to get the full context of the emotions on display in the memorial version. But either way it’s an incredible instrumental performance I can guarantee you will love.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the information! This sounds so powerful. I'll try and find it. 😀🤘

Ohmura has some pretty cool solo work he did and performed live with a lot of the same guys. Holy Tomorrow live is kickass
*ALL HAIL OUR QUEEN!*
Great reaction guys. To see more of the kami bands excellence, please react to “ CATCH ME IF YOU CAN”, also live at the Budokan. Do not play the live compilation.
Nice choice - a Su solo. Babymetal always shine brightest live! Keep on reacting to Babymetal, please. You know you're watching Babymetal when your face is melting around your big smile - that's the Kawaii/Cute Metal effect! Another song with a set of 4 solos at the start is Catch Me If You Can, the best heavyAF Metal song ever about playing Hide and Seek and this version has English subs too so you can sing along! ua-cam.com/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/v-deo.html . Oh, and another Su solo of epic proportions with a guitar duet in the middle is Akatsuki ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
"It shouldn't work...but it does." should be on Babymetal's letterhead. :D
this is what happen when Kami band summoning Su-Metal and they have few summoning spell for Babymetal to appear on stage.
Haha! I love that. 😁🤘
that's a common take, but the name "mischief of the gods" suggests an alternate explanation -- while the girls are away, the gods will play. but when su returns, they're all business.
BabyMetal - Arkadia please 🙏
Great reaction guys. Hope you would do more Babymetal and Epica. \m/
Backstory of Kami band. The fox god summoned the Gods of metal to assist Su, Yui, and Moa on their journey to unite the world of Metal. Mikiko who sadly passed away in 2018 was also one of the Kami gaturist

The fact that a slow song by Su Metal can be heavier than usual death metal music with growls is just amazing. Not many bands can pull this off.

BOH ... God of Bass
If you want another song that showcases Su-metal’s solo vocals, check out “Akatsuki,” if you liked Romdo this much you will also love Akatsuki: ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
If you want what is maybe BABYMETAL’s heaviest song, check out “Sis Anger” which is a song with just Moa and Yui (aka Black BABYMETAL). ua-cam.com/video/BZLZcoWZKN0/v-deo.html
Oooh these sound great. Thank you! 😀
The musicians are in the background because you've been watching music videos. They are featured plenty in live performances. The Kami Band doesn't do music videos. Also the music videos are made for the widest possible audience. The concerts are for the fans.

that´s one of the songs, where i could listen to the solos for hours. but the acutal song is a little bit low. but to be fair. it´s really hard to top this freaking intro xD xD xD
🤘🦊🤘
Amazing react guys,
your face looked like mine when I first heard BABYMETAL! 😱😱😱
For me good music is like that, to connect people and make you feel, not just hear or understand the lyrics, here I am, Brazilian speaking Portuguese watching two people speaking English listening to a band singing in Japanese, and even so by their expressions I could see how you guys felt the music just like me!
look forward to more react from BABYMETAL, if you can react to the BABYMETAL GUIDE: ua-cam.com/video/E9xRiOBG82w/v-deo.html&t,
you will understand the trajectory of this band that won our hearts and is already 10 years old!
Obrigado my friend! Glad you enjoyed it. Metal is a universal language. See you next time. 😀🤘
Kami band ❤🤟🤟🤟🤟
Please react more babymetal live performance 🦊🎸
Your reaction is fuck'n' awesome

Domo arigato!
You really need to checkout Band Maid another great Japanese band
That bass solo makes me sad everytime I see it .... no matter how much I practice I’ll never be that good 😂
Haha! 😂
Feel free to gibber away. That’s entertainment.
Yes! You right, Goddess!! Su is absolutely Amazing, and the Kami Band are incredible! Great rraction again. Please react to Yava live whit Kami Band intro. See you in the next 🤟🏻 🦊
Thanks very much! See you next time. 😀🤘
I will pay attention to the cute girls
The band is also very cool
Well since Su's Bday is coming up, you should react to Babymetal Death Legend 1997 which was how she celebrated her 16th bday..... ua-cam.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/v-deo.html Oh, and please read the Opening Translation in the description.....It would make the whole performance make a lot more sense.
please babymetal - ijime , Dame , Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014 UK (official) react
BOH melting reactors' faces once again lol (I typed this minutes before Parisa said it, btw)
is there a song from babymetal, not highly recommenderd?
really - i want to knaw what ppl doesnt like to see xD
there are a couple performance videos that aren't recommended, such as some festival footage with grossly incompetent audio mastering, but every babymetal song deserves to be heard.
Yeah, I personaly like to diss Glastonbury show a lot, not to mention I can't stand watching it.
It was not BABYMETAL being at fault there though (zombie audience and technical problems were 2 major offenders).
Suggestion: Female J-Punk (or J-Post Punk) band; BRATS - "決まりごと (Kimarigoto) LIVE."[ ua-cam.com/video/tSXfJHUEKjI/v-deo.html ]" or "脳内消去ゲーム (NOUNAI SHOUKYO GAME) - MOVIE 『スレイブメン(Slavemen)』Theme Song [ ua-cam.com/video/ZJoORsoPOto/v-deo.html ]" or "どうだってよかった (Doudatte yokatta) [ ua-cam.com/video/ntJditD8hpQ/v-deo.html ]"
