Great reaction Wave. Yes this and 'The One' started life as parts of the same song but were separated quite early in the writing process. The piano at the end was actually the bridge into 'The One' which followed this and closed out the first night of their Tokyo Dome shows in 2016. The two tracks also closed out the Metal Resistance album. I don't know a lot of Dream Theater and I've only watched a couple of videos, but based on that very limited exposure I found myself agreeing - they need to add some choreographed dance.😁 Tokyo Dome was the sole live performance of TotD to date. It may have looked and sounded flawless, it wasn't without it problems ... just as they started Su-metal's IEM failed. I don't know how long it wasn't working for (it may have been just a few seconds), but apparently she was taking her cues from listening to the drums. She is so professional you wouldn't have a clue there was a problem.
Imagine how many blood, sweat, and tears they've put into this particular performance alone... And it was a one off on top! It blows my mind every freaking time! What a dedication!
The fact that BABYMETAL manages to make a very complex progressive metal song kind of catchy, with both singing and dancing, is impressive. Like you said, Dream Theater are amazing musicians, but I think their music is more of a technical showcase rather than songs that is meant to be enjoyed by normal people. BABYMETAL takes the complexity and adds life to it.
That's how i feel about animals as leaders lol (insane musicians but not for lay people) Also nothing makes me feel more like an outsider to music than watching reactors gush over snarky puppy. I get that they're extremely talented, but there's something that doesn't click that leaves me on the outside
Always love the reaction to that piano section. This song was never performed again and it was exclusive for this special event at Tokyo Dome 2016 with 55K fans each night. The whole Kami Band and the girls did massive work to get there and played this flawless live concert, even with some sudden tech difficulties they made it through this really difficult song. Glad you enjoyed this unique gem of BM.🦊🤘🔥
Su-metal and Moametal in an interview have mentioned they would want to perform it again. Although Moametal did say I don't remember how to perform it, in part because their were multiple choreographies (I assume lots of sections had variations) before the final was decided.
This is the most underrated Babymetal song. It was played live only one time. Very few people mention it when they talk about their favorite BM songs. Not many reactors have reacted to this performance. To me, being Dream Theater my favorite band ever, listening to this for the first time was a total mindfck, a perfect mix between Babymetal and Dream Theater. I couldn't believe my ears. I remember I was like "there's no way they can come up with a choreography for this song" and they did.
Excellent reaction, thanks! I admit not being much into prog metal when I first listened to "TOTD" and I was quite like WTF. BUT when I watched this unique (literally) performance all made sense and, followed by "The ONE" became one of my favorite BABYMETAL moments. Not to mention I learned to enjoy more more prog metal because of this song. It's unique and it's a masterpiece. Very cool that mention about Portnoy's post. Kobametal is a huge Dream Theater fan and it took them more than two years to get this song ready.
I really enjoyed them before 2014 also. I love the super early videos like their dance with Sakura Gakuin to the Lucky Star OP. Yui and Moa were the only ones wearing black t-shirts and were clearly the stars of that dance. Or Ijime Dame Zettai at Legend Z where they wore white robes. Or iine at Sakura Gakuin Graduation 2011. Yui and Moa dropped the performing faces when they thought nobody was watching. It's cute. It's also a rare performance of the rap part.
Delusional Yui discourse again, they still not learn or get over that. BM does not have an icon, all of them are "The One". Tokyo Dome was a peak of venue but everything else as artists BM never reached their yet that was only the beggining of the road. Venue size means nothing about a great or bad live performance, some of their most emotional and energetic shows were at smaller venues as well such as Uki Uki midnight, From Dusk Till Dawn, Trilogy Of Lights, Divine Attack, Monochrome & The Legend etc.
@@BeccaVineszyone is entitled to their opinions. I think Momoko isn't as good as Yui. Mostly just because she doesn't match. Su and Moa are incredibly thin it looks odd having a more normal sized girl in formation. But also I think Yui was special and the most talented. But everyone can have their own opinions. I do feel a bit bad for Momoko. She is doing a good job. It's tough following Yui Mizuno.
Thanks from Japan 有難う💛。In an interview, Su-Metal replied : "TOTD was very difficult, especially it has no rythm. It does, of course, but looks no ..... About 10 second after its start, I lost correct tune and it continued for the 1st verse, I regretted it ..... I am still regretful for it so I have an intention to retry it" (excerpt). Although I believe no one thought she was singing out of tune or in inaccurate pitch, the intricacy of this song made even our Metal Queen feel uneasy. In addition, after watching your video, I reconfirmed the reason why the band in BABYMETAL's back has been called "Kami (= God)"
Love when they break into that chorus in this song. It's all weird prog metal time changes before it, so the chorus hits even harder because your brain is hearing something that makes sense.
Su, Moa and Yui practiced their very intricate and fast choreography until it was this perfect. Then never did it again. Hard working girls. One of the best Prog Metal songs I'd heard for decades (since the 70's basically). 🦊🤘🤘🦊
As far as technical songs, I believe the one song that's the closest to TOTD is "MIrror Mirror". Who knows, maybe they will surprise us with another really progressive song sooner or later! You know a song is really difficult when Mikio has to watch the guitar and his own hands, instead of the crowd :D
I won't disrespect BM by saying this was their peak, but Tokyo Dome was definitely something of a culmination of an almost mythical age of BM. Amazing show, so cool to see the original Kami band without masks.
Tokyo Dome is a great achievement for any artist, I think it open up the start of peak Babymetal (that unfortunately got disrupted by unfortunate events for years)
Imagine performing this song for the first and only time,.... and your IEM goes out when the song starts, which is what happened to Su here. She had to perform the first part of this without the click track keeping everyone in synch.
Well it was a surprising Song, especially that they first put it as one Song with the one. But obviously someone woke up, we might want to play one song or the other but not together.
first 👍... and now, this is actually only the first half of the song..."The One" is the second half...the continuation of "Tales of the Destinies" "Tales of the Destinies+The One" is actually one song. the piano melody at the end of "TotD" is the transition...the beginning of "TO"
👍 👍 Excellent review/analysis. When I see morons hating on BabyMetal In comments or unfairly criticizing their talents and abilities I point to songs of theirs such as this. Unbelievable discipline and dedication from the girls and the Kami’s to pull it off flawlessly.
I keep forgetting how much Babymetal you haven't seen. I think perhaps many of your subscribers just assume you've seen it all by now, and stop coming with requests for more. I'm not sure how much we can trust your Babymetal playlist here on UA-cam, because I can't find any reactions for even the most popular songs, such as _Megitsune, Headbanger, Akatsuki, Karate, Babymetal Death_ or _BxMxC._ Not a single *Black Babymetal* song. Surely you must have seen most of that already, right? Have you got a more reliable list somewhere, so we know what to recommend next? Would love to suggest songs like _Syncopation, Yava_ or _Starlight,_ but that would feel very premature if you haven't even done _Catch Me If You Can yet!_
Wave this is the only babymetal song where I suggest the official audio instead of the live. For over 75% of the performance Su's in ear wasn't working. knowing that of course makes you respect it even more, but i do enjoy the cd version more.
I think there is a reason why this song has only been played live with Mikio Fujioka. Just look at the solos of Headbanger and Baby metal death, they are not the same without him. An unrivaled talent.
One comment said that Mikio played it effortlessly. Which is not true. When he was playing the guitar effortlessly he was looking at the crowd and making faces. This time he was head down looking at the frets, focusing there all the time. This was HARD even for him. But I agree on the rest. His jazzy style cannot be reproduced, BM solos will never be the same.
@@autohmae And then you see Suzuka pulling her leg? THAT means difficult.... Years later it was revealed that her in-ear feedback was malfunctioning at the start of this song. No click track or vocal feedback. She just picked up the clues from the lights and the dance movements of the other girls. She sang and danced half of this song totally deaf. And no one noticed it.
That's a great analysis! I don't know much about musical technology or recent music. So I thought this song was similar to old jazz fusion. But after listening to your explanation, I realized that it is a special song using some new technology. By the way, Kami Band is called "仮BAND" and they distribute jazz fusion type songs. One of their songs called "Samurai Groove" is wonderful. I recommend this song.
This is their second best, the best of the best is Awadama Fever.!! my all time favorite song across the genre of any type of music, that song is happy, fun, brutal, cute, powerfull, funny, and so chaotic, makes me happy everytime i listening to it no matter what mood I've started.
@@ekkanofiqandriyana7325 Awadama fever is RIGHT up there for me - and the choreography is bloody wonderful - a perfect example of BM organised chaos - it's a shame they don't do it anymore :(
@@astrafaan yes the cuttest choreography the babymetal ever made, no one can match it even the (new) babymetal itself. "Mint flavor time machine..." LOL that single line alone is very metal and brutal and chaotic LOL what the hell of mind can come up with that lyric LOL what they was thinking
Yeah agree on the counting. Or Hanabie '1 2 des ka!' 1 2 ですか. For the gaijin, des(u) ka is not 3 4 in Japanese it's 'is it?' Most common ending of a question. Honto desu ka. Is it true? Maybe I'm weird but that cracks me up every time. 1 2 des ka.

I love that! I had to put it in the thumbnail
@Wave Potter yes i noticed that 😁It was so out of nowhere 🤣😁🤘🏼🦊
BM from 2014 to 2016. That's the time when I enjoyed them the most.
Yui come back!
Agree, 2016 was their peak, Wembley arena, Tokyo Dome. I had the chance to see them twice during this period, happy times.
@@cadiazm2016 wasn't their peak, babymetal's peak is whenever Yui in them, she is the eternal icon of BM

I was lucky enough to be at this show in 2016, this song has only ever been played live twice and will never be done again
you are so lucky😭😭😭 i am jealous

👍👍👍👍👍
I've just watched your video, while watching the BM's January 'Returns' Blu-ray, which I got yesterday too. It's a mess now, Sugoi!!👍, hahahah.
Su, Moa and Yui practiced their very intricate and fast choreography until it was this perfect. Then never did it again. Hard working girls. One of the best Prog Metal songs I'd heard for decades (since the 70's basically). 🦊🤘🤘🦊
really wish they performed this song again even though they’ve only played it once ! the choreo is insane
Me too! I’d love to see this live
Tales Of The Destinies:-
A tribute to Legendary progressive rock band "Dream Theatre", Babymetal only performed this song once which is at the Tokyo Dome to a crowd of 55000 fans over two nights which total of 110000 fans. This song genre is Progressive Metal and different from "Dream Theatre" which focuses more on Rock. That night Su-Metal ear-in monitor malfunction just as the song is about to kick in, Su-Metal has to relied on The Kami Band tempo changes to be able to synchronise with The Kami Band and both Yuimetal & Moametal. Considered Babymetal most technical song and complex composition. As seasoned pros, Babymetal did a superb job that night. Those who love progressive music will definitely appreciate the technical aspects and precision of the Kami Band and Babymetal complicated choreography. The piano melody bridge will lead to the last song The One from their Metal Resistance Album. Progressive Metal at its best. Only done once live at the Tokyo Dome.

This is like a black babymetal song with the added bonus of Su, awesome
just like catch me if you can. love that vibe

Yes, The One is based on certain parts of this song.
