    I'm Japanese. Thank for your great reaction.
    BABYMETAL's members are famous star (acting in TV. CM. etc) in Japan from when a child.
    The agency they work for is the largest listed entertainment company in Japan and has many stars. It is very difficult to get into this office, and female applicants need to be exceptionally beautiful, first of all. Many stars have been with the company since childhood and take various lessons from leading instructors, such as dancing, singing, acting, etc., and usually become an actress.
    And among them, a small number of people with high singing ability (like the lead vocal of BABYMETAL : Suzuka Nakamoto) becomes a musician.This is because it is extremely rare for a person to have both a beautiful appearance like an actress and a high singing ability.
    We can see many videos of her singing song since when elementary school on UA-cam.
    BABYMETAL was created to make use of her talent in 2010(When she was 13years old).
    Now she is often selected as one of the top rock singers in the world by famous music magazines in the United Kingdom and is called 'Queen' in the metal fandam.
    When Babymetal song is voted in popularity by Japanese, 'Akatsuki' usually comes in first place.😀

    When I first heard Gimme Chocolate about 10 years ago I was hooked instantly, just like you. A decade later I haven't found anything else that makes me as happy as when listening to Babymetal. They release a new song just a few days ago called Ratatata featuring Electric Callboy and it's one of the catchiest songs you will ever hear.

    Brilliant reaction - there is no other band quite like BABYMETAL and yes, they introduced choreographed dance into Metal ... but not dance as you may have seen it. Their choreo relates to the lyrics or meaning of the song, but it also leads the crowd and gets them involved.
    They have bespoke choreo for every song ... you have about 70 dances to learn.
    This was filmed December 2013 - the day after the lead singer's 16th birthday. The two younger girls were 14.
    This was 3 years after they started in 2010.

    • @Jordan-Ramses

      I think the difference between Kpop choreography and Japanese is that Japanese is more athletic and energetic. The Korean is more synchronized and meticulous but less athletic and physically demanding.

    • @Grington300
      @Grington300 4 місяці тому +3

      @@Jordan-Ramses Quite possible. For me BABYMETAL's choreo is somehow different to both.
      Choreo in pop (K, J, Western etc) seems to be used mainly to fill the stage or to give you half dressed girls/boys to watch to take your mind off the music (I know I'm generalising, it may not all be like that, its just how it seems to me) whereas BABYMETAL's actually relates to and helps with interpreting the meaning of the song or a lyric and most importantly it involves and includes the audience.
      I'm no expert - all I really know is that BABYMETAL's choreo doesn't just annoy me the way most choreo does.

    Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥
    I'm always glad to see more reactors getting into this amazing group. They were rocking out the whole World Tour 2023/2024 and everyone were having a blast with the setlist, the new songs from latest album and the classic hits, especially GC! either you hate or love it, is a song with crazy amount of views and they don't wanna leave behind in any of their setlist just like they did today and yesterday at FOX_FEST Festival, the best moment to be in Japan is definitely right now bc they also played the new collab song they just recently released along with Electric Callboy, so highly suggest you to check that out while is hot.
    Dance choreography and metal had never been seen before and they somehow managed to make it works creating their unique own genre called kawaii-metal, mixing Jpop and heavy metal along with many more sub genres and rhythms, you'll have so much fun going through this journey.
    This isn't actually live sound, is studio album version over a live performance which was partially live only on the vocals and choreography with backing track sound. They have their own band called Kami Band introduced later on that same show and after that Kami Band become regular at live performance but they're not official members, only these trio are the front women.
    BabyMetal is a Japanese metal dance unit created in 2010 under another Jpop/Jrock group called Sakura Gakuin, they had 11 and 12 years old when started this and become independent after 2013, they created their own genre called kawaii-metal (kawaii means cute) mixing Jpop with metal sound and different subgenres along with many more rhythms. Their name is a reference to a new genre and not related to their ages or "baby" faces, is a pun intended play words with "heavy-metal" which sounds similar to "baby-metal".
    They are:
    *SuMetal* lead vocalist, now 26.
    *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 24.
    *YuiMetal* scream and dance, former member since 2018.
    *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 21 and is the new official member since April 1st last year.
    None of them are related.
    After 2018 you'll see backup dancers performing along with them but none of them are official members, they don't sing, only dance, but that status change recently like i said.
    This was in December 2013 at SuMetal 16th Birthday, the other girls had 14 yo and there was a big party you have seen nothing yet, wait for _"Babymetal Death"._
    The backing band here are called "baby-bones", they don't actually play they're just mimicking air playing instrument, later on this same concert and after 2014 you'll see the girls performing with a real band called the Kami Band, more of them later.
    Not only they got a wide range in musical style but also when dancing, but if you wanna see a clear Para Para Dancing choreo you got songs such Iine! official MV (take note isn't Line, is iine with a capital i)
    Some recommendations for next songs like:
    - _"Road Of Resistance"_ live in Japan official.
    - _Megitsune_ official MV.
    - _Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!_ live at this same live performance Legend 1997 in Makuhari Messe Japan when SuMetal is celebrating her birthday becoming a metal goddess queen and leaving her idol jpop form (you can find one at Gans Tomas channel under "Head Bangya" title).
    You have more than 60 songs to discover. Amuse their label is very hard to deal so if you want to avoid copyright blocked you have "Babymetal Reactor Resource" channel you'll get full original clips of their best live performance with watermarked logo safe to react, look for "Future Plans" vid, follow instructions and you'll get all of them, upload the one with the logo for us and you can watch without it, don't worry for us we already saw all of them.
    I'm gonna try to leave in my next comment where to get safe clips to react if YT allows me to do it.
    See you next time! 🦊🤘🍫

      Here's the list of live performance clips usually safe to reacts without any filters so you won't need to rely on live compilations, there might be some exceptions:
      - Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! live at Legend 1997, SuMetal 16th Birthday in 2013, they got MV of this and is fun, but live is a blast.
      ua-cam.com/video/LNFiDWJh2FA/v-deo.html
      - Akatsuki, live at Budokan 2014, this is a SuMetal solo.
      ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
      - Megitsune, official MV is my first recommendation but is usually blocked if you don't put filters, so if you want live and safe to react, check it out Budokan 2014.
      ua-cam.com/video/dU38CYkpBvI/v-deo.html
      - Akatsuki Unfinished Version, SuMetal solo again but with only a piano behind special performance at Legend 1997.
      ua-cam.com/video/nwsinmxTxbo/v-deo.html
      - Babymetal Death, live at Legend 1997, this is the big finale, you're gonna blow your mind with this one.
      ua-cam.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/v-deo.html
      - Catch Me If You Can with Kami Band intro live at Budokan 2014.
      ua-cam.com/video/ng8U_j0gpLI/v-deo.html
      - Ijime, Dame, Zettai live at Sonisphere Festival 2014, sometimes the official live MV isn't so friendly so you know what to do.
      ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
      - Rondo Of Nightmare, with Mischiefs Of Metal Gods Intro live at Budokan 2014, another SuMetal solo but way different than usual happy songs.
      ua-cam.com/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/v-deo.html
      - Doki Doki Morning, official MV, their very first song and MV full of kawaiiness, usually is safe to react so try it, if you want a live performance, this is the first proshot version with the Kami Band live at Legend 1999 (YuiMetal and MoaMetal 14th birthday).
      ua-cam.com/video/BSjv9OYtWZ0/v-deo.html
      - Uki Uki Midnight, this one is a follow up to Doki Doki Morning but way different sound, this is the PV, is super fun but the sound isn't so great but at least is live.
      ua-cam.com/video/Yj-UQIlqsIQ/v-deo.html
      If you want better sound with the Kami Band, then live at Budokan 2014 it is.
      ua-cam.com/video/ESzY9dL613Q/v-deo.html
      - Onedari Daisakusen, live at Legend 1997, this is a Black Babymetal song, is a subgroup with only YuiMetal and MoaMetal.
      ua-cam.com/video/1dT1ywYR5So/v-deo.html
      - Iine! again official MV hits way better but if you want live, here live at Budokan 2014.
      ua-cam.com/video/5sCvYVNeD0w/v-deo.html
      - Karate live at Download Festival 2016, "kitsune6001" got this with a short interview intro.
      ua-cam.com/video/FKOL6v3Md2c/v-deo.html
      - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official live MV, be careful with the blocked by putting some filters just in case.
      ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.htmlsi=BsVOSExS25Qndy1H
      - Kimi To Anime Ga Mitai - Answer For Animation With You, live at Budokan 2014, not sure if it's still safe, so try some filters, if is audio blocked try to mute or just cut the parts.
      ua-cam.com/video/M8FKumvh-w8/v-deo.html
      Here's a song you can find at Babymetal Reactor Resource (BMRR), a helpful place to get watermarked logo clips of the original live version to curve the annoying algo.
      - GJ! live at Wembley Arena 2016, another Black Babymetal song.
      ua-cam.com/video/Hg0Rylcg8F0/v-deo.html
      This is BMRR short vid to follow instructions and get the spreadsheet with the full list.
      ua-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/v-deo.html
      And here's a BM guide (the long one).
      ua-cam.com/video/aIb2xEthdSg/v-deo.htmlsi=EnEYU4nN3tuiY3WL
      There's a beginners guide at "Briaghh" called "So... What is BabyMetal?" is more short and with some fair update until last year unlike the other one with full updates till this year.

      Good comment, but the wrong way round - the 3 girls came first, they are BABYMETAL and the whole concept is based on their vocal and performance talents. The Kami Band first appeared 2 years later and were phased in over the next 18 months before becoming their full time support for all live shows early in 2014.

    Nice reaction. welcome to the foxhole. Babymetal is the premier Metal band from Japan. Opened the doors for many to follow. All by taking the Road of Resistance. They had a lot of resistance when they started for daring to do Kawaii metal. Enjoy this journey through the foxhole and into the Babymetal galaxy of music. They've traveled the world and started incorporating the music they heard into their own. Babymetal is a fantastic mix of Jpop vocals over a metal base with just about everything in between. Now about the song. Total fun especially if you like chocolate. Then you can relate to this. They're not just asking for chocolate at the start of the song. The sound they're making is the sound kids make for guns in Japan and if you watch again, you'll notice they're holding they hands in a gun shape. Which means they're not just asking for chocolate. They're demanding it at gun point. All in a kid kawaii manor. They have kept that kawaii aspect to their performance to this day. And even in their heaviest songs they find a way to still be Kawaii. Su-metal is the lead singer and for good reason. The group was built around her voice and an amazing voice it is. Moametal and Yuimetal are her Angels of hype and dance and sing. Have compatible voices to hers. As you watch more of them, you'll get to hear more of them singing. Sadly, Yuimetal left the group officially in 2018 due to health issues and actually stopped performing with them in 2017 because of it. No one and I mean NO ONE knows what the health issue was. From 2018 until 2023 Babymetal went on as a duo of Su-metal and Moametal. They used backup dancer to fill her spot. One of them in 2023 was promoted to official member in March of 2023. Now back to a trio again Babymetal set out to take the world and did 97 concerts last year world wide. Now they have been releasing singles since then. Babymetal, the foxhole is deep and full of surprises. See You.

    Love this band, and yep anyone who likes anime is going to feel the full kawaii/moe force, like standing in the sun after a hundred years underground. One of the best things I can remember hearing about this band was at one of the UK premiere metal festivals early in their touring career. They were due to play on the B stage but one of the A stage bands had to postpone. Babymetal took the challenge to fill in the gap and absolutely crushed it!

    Excellent reaction. I have been a metalhead since my son introduced me to Manowar around 2002 and I admit (hangs head in shame) that I enjoy Baby Metal as a departure from what I usually listen to (metal songs that tell tales of sacrifice and adventure). I enjoy the heavy instrumentals behind the kawaii vocals, the choreography, and the professionalism of the performers. I doubt I would ever listen to this as just audio, bit the videos are a wonderful distraction and incredible fun. However, I do tend to prefer their heavier songs.
    BTW, the "musicians" in the skeleton outfits are actors and the instrumentals are a backing track. They began to use a real band for festivals, originally the Kami band (consisting of session musicians) but now I believe they have two different backing bands depending on where the concert is.

They incorporate many styles into their diverse catalog. The lead singer, Su Metal, is a powerful singer. Their live performances are incredible and most of their videos are taken from their lives. Their newest song is a collab with Electric Callboy, "Ratatata", just dropped and is the song of the summer. You simply must check it out

I saw them live in Pittsburgh last fall and was absolutely blown away. Su's live vocals may be the best I have ever heard and I have seen hundreds of bands live. In a world filled with mediocrity, Baby Metal stands out. The precision and the work ethic it takes to pull off one of their live shows is truly remarkable.

    Welcome to the world of babymetal. I saw them at a festival in 2016. Rob zombie, slayer, and many others were there. They were on stage right before Alice cooper. Many of us older metal heads made our way to their stage at like 3 or 4 pm just to see if it was some random gimmick. The majority of us old heads ended up showing much appreciation to these little legends for the energy they put out. Rob zombie and Rob Halford put the metal stamp on them, and it’s much deserved. These little legends are metal. Had to follow them more after that show. They started as young teens, they are in their 20’s now. Su metal is our empress of metal. All hail Su🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

    Welcome to the Foxhole, they have just released a collab with Electric Callboy that is currently breaking the internet, RATATATA. This is from Su-metals 16th birthday show on Dec 21st 2013, Yui and Moe were 14. I get so much joy from this band but when you get into them you realise that Su is one of the most talented vocalists of any genre. I recommend the new song first then Monochrome from the PIA 2023 and go from there with either Headbanger or Road of Resistance if you want to see a BM mosh pit, Live 2015 also shows you the complete control Su has over a crowd of 20000 when she was just 17 but then by that age she did have 11 years experience behind her, live is always best as they have huge stage productions and full choreography for every song and they were born to perform. 🤘🤘🤘🦊🦊🦊.

BABYMETAL is a Japanese kawaii (cute) metal group (a metal subgenre that they created) that formed in 2010 when the 3 girls were 11-12 years old (yes, they were very young), and since then have performed with, toured with, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, Dragonforce, Guns N' Roses, Lady Gaga, Rob Halford of Judas Priest (there's a great youtube video of their performance with Rob at a metal award show), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (there is a youtube video of them performing Gimme Chocolate with RHCP, as well as with Korn, and DragonForce), to name a few of many. They have performed at large metal events/concerts in front of 65,000+ skeptical metalheads in Europe (Download, Sonisphere, Glastonbury, etc), US, and Asia. They are the first Japanese band to perform at Wembley arena in the UK. Also, 20+ awards have been given to them. They have 60+ songs and each one is different from the other, so I hope you give the other songs a try. By the way, they have some really great heavy songs too, and I hope you like guitar solos, as well as bass and drum solos, like I do, because they have them too. Also, they released a new amazing album last year and they just finished a world tour where they had many shows here in the US. They also recently released a new music video for their song called "Metali" that features Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello, and a few days ago they released the music video for "RATATATA" which is a collab with Electric Callboy!🤘🦊🤘

    Babymetal is a Japanese kawaii metal band consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal" and Momoko Okazaki as "Momometal". The band is produced by Kobametal from the Amuse talent agency. Their vocals are backed by heavy metal instrumentation, performed by a group of session musicians known as the "Kami Band" at performances.
    The band was formed in 2010, with the original line up of Su-metal (vocal and dance), Moa-metal (scream and dance), and Yui Mizuno as "Yui-metal" (scream and dance), with the concept of creating a fusion of the heavy metal and Japanese idol genres. Originally a sub-unit of the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin, Babymetal became an independent act in 2013, following Nakamoto's departure from Sakura Gakuin.
    Babymetal have released four studio albums since their inception: the first, Babymetal, came out in February 2014. Their second album Metal Resistance was released in April 2016. The group released their third album Metal Galaxy in October 2019. Their fourth album, The Other One, was released in March 2023. Babymetal has embarked on several tours, with a majority of their tour dates taking place outside of Asia.
    In October 2018, Babymetal announced that Yui Mizuno had decided to leave the band due to poor health, following her absence from live performances since December 2017. After her departure, the band performed with one or more backup dancers at live performances. One of those dancers, Momoko Okazaki (a former member of Sakura Gakuin), joined Babymetal as the third core member in April 2023, under the stage name Momo-metal.

    I love Babymetal since the first time I heard them. You should check out more for sure, Karate, Megitsume, Road to Resistance Live. They also recently did a song with Electric Callboy called Ratata.
