To any anime fans up here, we're reacting to Hell's Paradise & Oshi no Ko episodes on Twitch ..RIGHT F**KIN' NOW!! 🗣Come to a Twitch Stream!!!: twitch.tv/joeynato 🍀Lucky Squad Discord Server: discord.gg/Qrs88tgsXE
They are Anime/J-Pop girls turned Metal. Their costumes are part armor cuz all Anime fans know the most powerful beings in the universe are 14 year old Japanese Schoolgirls.
Gimme Chocolate is a very simple song that served almost as a demo for the Babymetal concept. If you stick with it, the music will get more complex, the vocals will get much more impressive, and it will blow your mind. There's much more to Babymetal than this song.
I would say Headbanger personally but RoR is also a great one. But for me the fact that Dragonforce wrote that for them doesn't make it so much their sound. Pa Pa Ya and BxMxC are also great, and we can't forget Megitusne.
Please Jo-metal, please do more of these! They are possibly my favorite band just due to the fact that every song they create is in a different genre from the last. I think Babymetal would be right up your alley!
If you're curious, the song is about how the band is sick of beauty standards and how hard they have to work to meet them, and them saying in the nicest way possible a 14 year old and two 13 year olds cann (that was their ages when this song came out I believe) fuck it, give me chocolate.
Tip: Babymetal has a seriously hardcore fanbase and reacting to them will drive views to your channel (those Japanese fandoms are very dedicated), especially because their latest studio album in four years just dropped. From a 'Western' perspective, Road of Resistance live in Japan (ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.html) is the one which converted me (old school metalhead) from, 'yeah, this is kinda interesting' to, 'okay, that was fantastic, also I HAVE to go to one of their live shows because their crowd interaction / control is second to none I've seen (I'd say on par or possibly even better than Rammstein)' - so I now have tickets for their next tour. (Personal perspective: Gimme Chocolate is one of their songs I don't really like - and a good 3/4 of their songs are on my regular playlist. It's just too gimmicky and jarring, and I don't think it really represents their sound.) With Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse (ua-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/v-deo.html) being another decent option in terms of getting your head around what their thing is, with its vibe being somewhat between Road and Chocolate. In terms of non-live stuff, I'd say Karate is their best music video (ua-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/v-deo.html). But unlike many bands, live is where they really shine. They are absolutely a divisive group amongst western metalheads, people either love them or hate them. However (not that band opinions should necessarily sway people) but a few gems I've come across: "They roll harder than you" - Rob Zombie "How can you not be entertained watching that?" - Korn "We saw them in 2013 at a festival, and we were astounded by their awesomeness" - Metallica They've performed with, toured with, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Rob Halford, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, Guns N' Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers. So... regardless of what some metal fans think, they've won hearts and minds amongst the metal community.
Wellcome to the Foxhole! Almost there. "Chotto" means "wait" or, "just a moment". "Chokoreto" is chocolate in Japanese. Funny bit: "Zokiyum" and "Dokiyum" are onomatopoeias, for "poisonous" and "I like it". It goes with the duality of the lyrics, of wanting chocolate, but being worried about gaining weight. As others said, you nee to watch "Road of Resistance - Live in Japan". That video gets everything Babymetal and mixes it into the purest and ultimate definition of that Babymetal is all about. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Welcome to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey 🦊🤘🔥 Now they got a metalverse but that's a more recent era so highly recommend to just wait to get there but in case you wanna know, they already released 5 singles from the new album "The Other One". Last month they started live concerts at Sabaton's Europe Tour as a special guests and everyone is having a blast with this song, 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. 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. 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 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 25. *MoaMetal* scream and dance, now 23. *YuiMetal* scream and dance, former member since 2018. *MomoMetal* scream and dance, she's 20 and is the new official member since April 1st recently. 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"_ Some recommendations for next songs like: - _"Road Of Resistance"_ live in Japan official. - _Catch Me If You Can_ live at Budokan 2014 (you got a safe to react version with subtitles at GuilhermeCait channel) or... - _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 50 songs and still more to come. 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. See you next time! 🦊🤘🍫
Btw "Chotto" means "wait" in Japanese, they're saying chocolate in the first line of the chorus when saying in Japanglish "Chokoreto". They're definitely not like Nirvana, but you will find not only some fun songs like this but also songs lyrics with deep meanings.🦊👍
@@jakemuller8626 _wait_ is _matte_ :p _chotto_ is _a little_ and of course _chotto matte_ is _wait a little_ but in daily casual speech people will just say _"eh chotto!"_ implying _chotto matte_ thanks for coming to the lesson today, bye xD
@@TheLeomarti Yeah, thanks for the correction, i didn't want to explain all the context of the meaning, sometimes I'm lazy, that's why I can count on you.😉👍
Welcome to the One and The Fox Hole! This is only the beign! You need watch now Road of Resistance live in Japan or Catch me if You can live! See you at the next Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the wonderful reaction. They have grown up after 10 years since this song. It may look like a gimmick, but if you want to understand their real abilities more deeply, I recommend watching a live performance. I recommend 'ROAD OF RESISTANCE' Also, I think it's better to put a watermark because their agency is strict on copyright.
Good first reaction and welcome to the BABYMETAL Foxhole.🦊The song structure for 'Gimme Chocolate' is relatively simple as you said, but it may be one of their most simple songs as far as that goes. It is also a song where the different genres (in this instance the thrash metal and the JPop verses) are really not blended so much as smashed into each other. They just want chocolate, but they are a bit worried about their weight - but it is chocolate, it would be so nice and they would be so happy, so can they just have a piece of chocolate please? They have many songs that are much deeper and so much more meaningful - but some songs, like this, are just fun. This was the official video, so the audio is from the studio recording even though it was filmed at a live show - they are so much better live. This concert was in December 2013, the day after lead vocalist Su-meta's 16th birthday (she does have a high voice, but I suspect what you may have read exaggerated that fact or was more likely referring to Yuimetal's and Moametal's voices with their "atatatatatata dukyun" ... they were still only 14 when this was recorded). They have about 60 songs now, each one different to the last. They have songs in virtually every metal genre (thrash, djent, folk, prog, nu-metal, death, black, industrial, etc), but they will also mix or blend in so many other musical styles and genres - not just pop - with the metal (eg ska, reggae, hip hop, rap, Bollywood, Latin, Finnish polka and so many more) usually when you least expect it. I see 'Headbanger' (use live at Legend 1997 - same show as this video, but live audio etc, look on Gans Tomas channel for that), 'Megitsune', Road of Resistance' live in Japan have all been recommended, also 'BxMxC', but save that for later and it will surprise you more. I would suggest 'Ijime, Dame, Zettai' live at Sonisphere 2014 in the UK ... we will explain why that is such an important performance if/when you watch it.
I loved this react, thank you, your thoughts insights and energy are wonderful. I hope you continue down the Babymetal foxhole, if you are interested in watching them progress from starting out (this video) try finding older videos (with "Live" in them but not with "BBC" in them because BBC did an atrocious job with sound for many live recordings). They are so fun early, and good, but over time the band and lead singer (Su-Metal) in particular become great, then greater, and the progression doesn't stop. They do their own thing, love it, are one of the best live shows to ever set foot on stage. You will be surprised virtually every new song, and surprised by how you were surprised.
It is easy to have preconceived notions of idols and kawaii elements, but it is clear that these women are great stage performers. More importantly, behind it all is great stage production, great songwriting, and super impressive instrumental skills. In general, the selling point of idols is not their authentic musicality or perfected charisma. It is about supporting the immature idols and taking pleasure in its growth. That is why many fans think that BABYMETAL is no longer idols in the usual sense of the word. And, in fact, idols can have all kinds of musical styles to differentiate themselves from each other. This is obvious to those with a deep interest and background in music.
Great first reaction! 🤘🦊🤘Thank you for giving BABYMETAL a chance!!! BABYMETAL started back in 2010 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 (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, 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.🤘🦊🤘
I might have something interesting for you to react to Joey. It's a japanese metalcore producer called Yuyoyuppe with an EP called SICK Yanderu. Interesting part is all the vocals are a synthesized female AI voice and it goes hard :D
I want you to know that this is a demo and a intro to the early start to their rise to fame so do give them some credit its the early time in the career
Su-Metal Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal has Kami as their background band which is comprised of some of the best guitarist and drummer from Japan, and combined they’re an absolute must listen too
They're probably about your age. The concert in the video is over 9 years old. It was the singer Suzuka Nakamoto's 16th Birthday. The video was 3 months before the release of their debut album. They just released their 4th a few months ago. Their first Music Video was early 2012 Doki Doki Morning.
BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno (Yui left in 2018 due to health reasons). Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old when the group began. All three were friends and classmates who attended an idol school/group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents. Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result. At first Amuse showed no interest and the girls had only financing from Kobayashi. They performed at strip malls and small venues using clothes borrowed from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues). Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia). If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to LIVE performance videos as this is where they shine. They have over 50 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more. Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.) Suggest reacting to these for a start. Karate LIVE at 2016 Download Festival in the UK where 60,000+ British metal heads sing along with the girls. Megitsune LIVE at Budokan 2021 Syncopation LIVE Yava LIVE with Kami Band intro at 2017 Fox Festival Road of Resistance LIVE in Japan Headbanger LIVE Tales of the Destinies LIVE Catch Me If You Can LIVE with Kami Band intro At their concert in Yokohama on April 1 it was announced that a permanent third member Momoko Okazaki (who is also a graduate of Sakura Gakuin and has been appearing with them LIVE since 2019) has officially become the third member. Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles. Good luck and hope to see you again.
Naw, people were throwin the hate at Babymetal and Rob told the Grumpy Old Fucks to Shut the Hell Up cause Babymetal is More Metal than they are....LoL!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Love your work Joey. If you ever feel like checking out some different but very interesting music, try anything from endless space 2. It has some extremely well made music, especially for being a game. The main theme would be "memories of the lost" but every single track is really really well made and good in my opinion. Anyways, awesome video as usual, keep it up!
Babymetal came from the Japanese version of the Mickey Mouse Club, like Britney, Justin, Christina. They were in different groups before they tried this. I love it though
Should listen to more songs by them like Karate or Headbanger, some are more vocal but I suggest getting one with english lyrics for sure so you can know what's being said and enjoy the "music perspective". That being said: Another group to listen to which is going back a couple years, Inspired by KDA Pop/stars: is: Tier 4-Bang Bang. Try it out man: sung by streamers like yourself. Be good man!
Basically all babymetal tracks are solid, no wrong way to go...except maybe babymetal death...you need to prepare for that one... anyway, I'll throw another rrcommendation in, "catch me if you can".
If want to start going deeper into the japanese music scene you will have to check out Ado at some point. She's easily one of the most talented singers out there at the moment and she has loads of great originals as well as several covers on her channel.

"Look, it's chocolate, chocolate, can I have a little piece? But, it's just that my weight has me worried these days"
Road of resistance is one of their best. It really let's you experience what it's like at their concert you should definitely check that out.
Definitely agree!
I would say Headbanger personally but RoR is also a great one. But for me the fact that Dragonforce wrote that for them doesn't make it so much their sound. Pa Pa Ya and BxMxC are also great, and we can't forget Megitusne.
I was about to comment about road of resistance
This song went Viral in 2014, and I am a fan since then :D
It was also used in the trailer for the game "Tiny Tina Wonderland" :)
Please Jo-metal, please do more of these! They are possibly my favorite band just due to the fact that every song they create is in a different genre from the last. I think Babymetal would be right up your alley!
I reccomend Road of Resistance if you plan to do some more BABYMETAL
Hard agree
Kingslayer not bad too
If you're curious, the song is about how the band is sick of beauty standards and how hard they have to work to meet them, and them saying in the nicest way possible a 14 year old and two 13 year olds cann (that was their ages when this song came out I believe) fuck it, give me chocolate.
I hope Joey will continue his babymetal journey...
I'd recommend listening to Megitsune which is one of their early song
Tip: Babymetal has a seriously hardcore fanbase and reacting to them will drive views to your channel (those Japanese fandoms are very dedicated), especially because their latest studio album in four years just dropped.
From a 'Western' perspective, Road of Resistance live in Japan (ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.html) is the one which converted me (old school metalhead) from, 'yeah, this is kinda interesting' to, 'okay, that was fantastic, also I HAVE to go to one of their live shows because their crowd interaction / control is second to none I've seen (I'd say on par or possibly even better than Rammstein)' - so I now have tickets for their next tour. (Personal perspective: Gimme Chocolate is one of their songs I don't really like - and a good 3/4 of their songs are on my regular playlist. It's just too gimmicky and jarring, and I don't think it really represents their sound.)
With Headbanger Live @ Legend 1997 Apocalypse (ua-cam.com/video/YjjWZpf_jSs/v-deo.html) being another decent option in terms of getting your head around what their thing is, with its vibe being somewhat between Road and Chocolate.
In terms of non-live stuff, I'd say Karate is their best music video (ua-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/v-deo.html). But unlike many bands, live is where they really shine.
They are absolutely a divisive group amongst western metalheads, people either love them or hate them. However (not that band opinions should necessarily sway people) but a few gems I've come across:
"They roll harder than you" - Rob Zombie
"How can you not be entertained watching that?" - Korn
"We saw them in 2013 at a festival, and we were astounded by their awesomeness" - Metallica
They've performed with, toured with, or opened for Metallica, Korn, Dragonforce, Rob Halford, Sabaton, Bring Me The Horizon, Guns N' Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers. So... regardless of what some metal fans think, they've won hearts and minds amongst the metal community.

BABYMETAL started back in 2010 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 (Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere, 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.🤘🦊🤘
Wait till he finds out about LadyBeard Lmaoo
FINALLY!!! LETS EFFING GOOOOOO!!!
Joey, I think you'd had have a fun time reacting to Babymetal's " いいね！- Iine!" It has a lot more twists and turns that might blow your mind!
Next "Karate" another Baby Metal Song..
🍫🦊🍫♪
I might have something interesting for you to react to Joey. It's a japanese metalcore producer called Yuyoyuppe with an EP called SICK Yanderu.
Interesting part is all the vocals are a synthesized female AI voice and it goes hard :D
welcome to the Foxhole
Recommend Doki Doki Morning for early stuff. Road of Resistance and Megitsune for the middle. Metalizm and Divine Attack for current Babymetal.
MY GUY JOEY SHOULD DO PA PA YA
FINALLY 😭😭😭
Ok so Megitsune and Rondo of Nightmare are my favorites ❤️
I want you to know that this is a demo and a intro to the early start to their rise to fame so do give them some credit its the early time in the career
Hahah your face reaction. Same. I love this song.
Ignored the list. You have missed all the fun of BabyMetal. At least you got lot's to catch up and discover about them and enjoy 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Su-Metal Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal has Kami as their background band which is comprised of some of the best guitarist and drummer from Japan, and combined they’re an absolute must listen too
Give that wolf a banana )))
If you want to blow your mind, you can try "We Love Sweets - Hanabie", a band composed of 4 girls but im sure youll love it.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🦊🦊🦊🦊 BABYMETAAAALLLL
They're probably about your age. The concert in the video is over 9 years old. It was the singer Suzuka Nakamoto's 16th Birthday.
The video was 3 months before the release of their debut album. They just released their 4th a few months ago. Their first Music Video was early 2012 Doki Doki Morning.
Check this out: Baby Metal: Road Of Resistance, Live in Japan.. 👍
I really wish I could listen to this song for the first time again.
Uh Oh!! He's a Rapper!!! How many request for BxMxC will there be????
LoL!!
More Babymetal Always!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
PA PA YA〜
Yooooo babymetal reaction! Do papaya, shanti shanti and megitsune, some of my favourite bm songs
Welcome to the foxhole! 🤘🦊🤘
BabyMetal began in 2010 there were Suzuka Nakamoto age 12 Moa Kikuchi and Yui Mizuno (Yui left in 2018 due to health reasons). Both Moa and Yui were 11 years old when the group began.
All three were friends and classmates who attended an idol school/group (Sakura Gakuin) founded in 2010 by Amuse Talent Agency for girls 10 to 15. Themed around school life (they attended regular school as well) the girls would learn and train at vocals, dancing, public speaking and etiquette, etc., graduate at age 15 and then move onto whatever entertainment path they chose or that suited their talents.
Key Kobayashi was a music producer for Amuse and heard Suzuka sing at age 9 and was impressed with her strong vocals and stage presence. Kobayashi was a fan of heavy metal but believed that the genre had become stale and tired (especially in Japan) with metal bands getting old Kobayashi believed the genre needed to be reborn (BabyMetal means the birth of a new metal genre). Kobayashi felt that Suzuka had the ability to front a metal band and that her vocals and presence could withstand the metal guitars and drums. The fusion of Jpop and Metal began. He placed Moa and Yui as backup singers/dancers and a phenomenon was about to result.
At first Amuse showed no interest and the girls had only financing from Kobayashi. They performed at strip malls and small venues using clothes borrowed from friends and family. No money for a real band they had friends dressed in homemade skeleton costumes pretending to play instruments to a backtrack. They became a sensation (these young ladies paid their dues). Amuse saw the potential and in 2012 hired the best session musicians Japan had to offer (The Kami Band) who tours with them today (now includes world class musicians from the USA for tours outside of Asia).
If you choose to explore more of BabyMetal I suggest reacting to LIVE performance videos as this is where they shine.
They have over 50 LIVE songs/performances and each one is different. They are fearless exploring many genres and have the respect of the legends of Metal such as Metallica, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and more.
Avoid Glastonbury LIVE performances as the sound production by the BBC (who was in charge of that festival did a terrible job - mics not turned on, incorrect volume levels, etc.)
Suggest reacting to these for a start.
Karate LIVE at 2016 Download Festival in the UK where 60,000+ British metal heads sing along with the girls.
Megitsune LIVE at Budokan 2021
Syncopation LIVE
Yava LIVE with Kami Band intro at 2017 Fox Festival
Road of Resistance LIVE in Japan
Headbanger LIVE
Tales of the Destinies LIVE
Catch Me If You Can LIVE with Kami Band intro
At their concert in Yokohama on April 1 it was announced that a permanent third member Momoko Okazaki (who is also a graduate of Sakura Gakuin and has been appearing with them LIVE since 2019) has officially become the third member.
Their new album in my opinion that released March 24 is amazing with so many different styles.
Good luck and hope to see you again.
Gotta listen to more man
I remember Rob Zombie was getting hate just for simply saying he liked baby metal back in the day😅
Naw, people were throwin the hate at Babymetal and Rob told the Grumpy Old Fucks to Shut the Hell Up cause Babymetal is More Metal than they are....LoL!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
the poshmit XDD
Tienen muchas mejores canciones que esta
I heard this song on Taiko no Tatsujin and it's hard but it's fun. Love this song!
Givu me chocoreeto
Chotto in fact does not mean chocolate. Chokolato means chocolate. Chotto means "a little"
For a little more hardcore metal Japanese band, check out Hanabie. Specifically their songs "We Love Sweets" and "Pardon me, I have to go now"
❤
Love your work Joey. If you ever feel like checking out some different but very interesting music, try anything from endless space 2. It has some extremely well made music, especially for being a game. The main theme would be "memories of the lost" but every single track is really really well made and good in my opinion. Anyways, awesome video as usual, keep it up!
Thanks First time! reaction . I'm not anime fan but BM fun from japan. You are "too too late". this is from 2013 live . リアクションが遅すぎてチョコ食べすぎで太ってしまいます。
Babymetal came from the Japanese version of the Mickey Mouse Club, like Britney, Justin, Christina. They were in different groups before they tried this. I love it though
Listen to yama - slash it's an opening of gundam the witch from mercury, another anime bangers for you joey
2:34 why is the thumbnail in the video lol
Check out Overlord opening
T-they are giving you chocolate....
Finally Joey is reacting to Babymetal! So good
Should listen to more songs by them like Karate or Headbanger, some are more vocal but I suggest getting one with english lyrics for sure so you can know what's being said and enjoy the "music perspective". That being said: Another group to listen to which is going back a couple years, Inspired by KDA Pop/stars: is: Tier 4-Bang Bang. Try it out man: sung by streamers like yourself. Be good man!
🤘🦊🤘
Basically all babymetal tracks are solid, no wrong way to go...except maybe babymetal death...you need to prepare for that one...
anyway, I'll throw another rrcommendation in, "catch me if you can".
I personally love Kingslayer from bring me the horizon with babymetal
Joey, you should react to lil uzi new album, espically the BMTH song werewolf and also Baby Metal song The end! I think you will enjoy it.
Reacts KARATE - BABYMETAL
Baby Metal? what year is it?
🦊🤘
please do more reaction on babymetal!
If want to start going deeper into the japanese music scene you will have to check out Ado at some point. She's easily one of the most talented singers out there at the moment and she has loads of great originals as well as several covers on her channel.
i swear to god Joey did react to Babymetal before, i'm not the only one right?
hopefully he reacts to wildfire by hoyoverse I really love his reactions
ROAD OF RESISTANCE, Live In Japan.
I recommend listening to Suzume by Radwimps
It’s been awhile since I heard their music oh wow!
