So about the backup girls: In Japan, it's considered impolite to go to a concert and sing along with the vocalist. The rest of the audience is there to hear the band, not you, so they won't sing out loud the way a western crowd would. The 'job' of the backup girls is to give the audience a part that it's accepable to jump and chant along with. The audience is really well syncronized **because** the backup girls keep everything coordinated. They're a big part of what makes the whole thing pop...they're like the interface between the stage and the crowd.
I think I may be due for a continent change. My very autistic brain adores clearly defined rules of conduct like this. Do I like singing along? Sure. But there is something amazing about watching a stadium full of people follow the rules, and the guidelines, and just the basics of common courtesy. That said, I do miss my mosh pit days. Weeks of therapy worked out in a few hours...
The real impact of Babymetal is that they have introduced a whole new generation of people to metal. From teens to seniors. There concerts are a diverse cross section of humanity 😊❤
Speaking of KORN, BABYMETAL was one of the support acts on KORN's "The Serenity Of Summer" tour back in 2017. There is even a video on UA-cam showing the guys from KORN dressing up just like BABYMETAL's band back when they dressed in white death robes and surprising the girls by getting on stage during their performance of "Gimme Chocolate" and performing with them.🤘🦊🤘
You are right! That KoRN performance at WoodStock is LEGENDARY. That "AAAAARRRREEE YOOOOUUUU REEEAAAADDDDDYYYY!!!!" during the intro to "Blind" was something else. These concerts (especially the two I saw live) gave me a similar legendary energy (if a different vibe, as you mentioned.) The second time someone gave me a front row pass and some free chocolate in line. Just because :)
BABYMETAL just finished a South American tour with SLIPKNOT as one of the headliners of KNOTFEST. Cory Taylor LOVES them and was introduced to them by his son, who is a huge fan. Kitsune dao!
Watching your reaction was 100% fun, thank you so much, glad I found your channel! You are in for so much enjoyment. Studio/MV work is great, Live is phenomenal, however you go it will be a blast.
Awesome reaction guys, good choice for a first Babymetal song to react to. Japan crowds are off the hook. BM is my favourite band and I was able to see them live at Yokohama Arena earlier this year in Japan. Best show I've ever been to in my entire life and a lot of it was due to the crowd being amazing.
This was the song that got me hooked on Babymetal last year. That same year I bought all their albums (some twice to get extra tracks), bouggt some live DVDs and travelled from Malta to Munich in Germany to see them live. More Babymetal. Liked and subscribed. 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction, thanks! "Megitsune" is definitely a fan favorite and their most played live song (370 times and counting!). Also one of my top favorites. PIA Arena MM is a dedicated music venue and it has a capacity of over 12,000 people. Filming and taking photos in shows is strictly forbidden in Japan (at least at BABYMETAL shows). Yeah, crowds in Japan are insane... you need to be a die-hard fan and know every chant and move so you don't look out of place. 😁 🤘🦊
Guys go back to 2014 with this band! “Ijimme Dame Zettai by Babymetal Sonisphere UK” outdoor festival, 3 young Japanese girls with a heavy band first time out of Japan! 60,000 metal heads were stunned 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great reaction, guys. I just thought i mentioned since your favourite band was Korn . BabyMetal opened for Korn in 2017 on the US tour . Any BabyMetal song is worth watching, but Headbangèr and Road of Resistance will probably be mentioned a lot, and the song they opened the 2nd night of these back to back shows at PIA Arena Metal Kingdom if you want to see how to open a show .. 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Great react and channel, Kitsunes! One of my favorite performance of Megitsune. Simply and absolutely amazing! Definitely you need watch iine live! 3 differents styles in 1 song. Believe me, is simply great!! See you! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
They were recently in Brazil, man I am so sad I couldnʼt see them live 😂 I agree with you about seeing these artists on stage having fun with the crowd, it is not an easy job but as soon as they let loose, in a good way ofc, it just becomes natural to have so much fun even with a lot going on technically. A song from BABYMETAL I would suggest is Rondo of Nightmare, I guess you guys would love this song. It is one of my favourite songs. Please, check out in the future if possible and I wish you guys donʼt have much trouble with copyright issues within the recording label; Amuse 🤘🦊
Funny you should talk about Korn as there's a clip on UA-cam, where Korns frontman talks about Babymetal. Also Babymetal opened for Korn on one of their US tours and a couple of members dressed up and joined the girls on stage. There's a clip of that on UA-cam somewhere along with Babymetal opening for the red hot chilli peppers on their UK tour, there's a clip of Chad bringing out a cake for Su-metals birthday Babymetal's lead singer. Also Chad and Flea performed on stage With Babymetal on the final show of the tour.
Great reaction, i used to be a MV or album listener but with Babymetal i alsways watch the 'Live' videos. the Choreo and audience interaction is so integral to the experience, it lifts the (already great) music to another level. Also they put 100% into their performances even the ones in smaller places (like 1,500) you can see they really want the people to be entertained, and they have so much fun doing it - you can often catch them laughing/smiling to each other. Momo growls a bit more in Metali (though live that bits backing track i think)
Just saw them a couple days ago at a tiny 2,000 capacity venue. They bring this same energy even to their small shows. Maybe even better. They were certainly having a good time, being total goofballs on occasion, and so did the crowd.
"Best crowd ever" I gotta agree. I'm not what I would consider a huge Babymetal fan, but I would 100% without hesitation go to one of their shows, especially in Japan, to participate in that crowd interaction. I've read that there are rules for the crowds (e.g. no cell phones), which might seem like a buzzkill to some people, but I would personally love the organized fun. Having a blast with little risk of getting hurt *cough cough moshpit cough cough* sounds great.
Welcome back, great reaction and great choice of song and performance, thanks for listening to the recommendations. 'Megitsune' was the first song they released after becoming an independent act following their separation from their parent JPop Idol group Sakura Gakuin in 2013. It is a big favourite, often coming top in fan polls and it is the song they have played live more times than any other. It is also arguably the song that showcases better than most what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen or koto, you decide which) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains Su's fox mask) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive. It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional subservient female role in Japanese society, saying that is changing I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength. They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong. The melody used in the intro and in the breakdown in the middle of the song (I'm not sure if you could hear the pig squeal screams in this one, you definitely can in the studio recording) is from the very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms). When Su spoke a couple of words and did her high kick she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss. Su-metal is lead vocalist, but yes the two girls Moametal and Momometal do harmonies, backing vocals and lead the chants - all the "sore sore sore sore" (go go go go) parts in this were Moa (Momoko did not have her mic yet, she was only made an official member at the end of this show and got her mic the next night). The Kami Band are the instrumentalists - here you heard (maybe didn't see so much, but that is because this was from the BluRay and the cameras tend to focus on the girls) were Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio on guitars, Clint Tustin on bass and Anthony Barone on drums. PIA MM Arena is in Yokohama and is one of the smaller arenas they've played in Japan in recent years - I don't remember the exact capacity, I think it was somewhere round 12,000? Japanese crowds are best because they don't allow people to use phones - everybody is there living in the moment and getting involved. Having said that, BABYMETAL played in Washington DC last night and it seems the crowd (despite all the phones) was a good one. 🤘
Hehe, yeah, I watched some fancams, and there is a visible change in the US crowd´s behaviour. They get more lively recently. Less phones, more action. Best thing was the crowd surfer at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC, catching a high five or fist bump from Moametal🤣
Great reaction! The PIA Arena is one of the smaller venues BABYMETAL played in Japan. Appr. 12k capacity, a bit less (about 10k) because of the huge stage. In 2016 they played the Tokyo Dome on two consecutive nights. 55k capacity, a slightly megalomaniac stage, and both nights sold out 😄The crowds are BABYMETAL´s crown juwels, I believe. The Japanese crowds are god level, every single time. EU, UK, and South America crowds are boss level. You should watch fancams from EU and UK concerts to see HUGE Row Boats happening to "Megitsune" 😄 Not to mention the South America fancams, the South Americans are an awesome audience, loud and super enthusiastic! There was an "incident" during the performance of "Metali!" at the Audio, São Paulo, which you should see after you reacted to "Metali!" (live version, pls!) 😆 "Megitsune" is very heavy, very Japanese, and it is a showcase for what BABYMETAL is doing. They play it at almost every concert, performed nearly 400 times now, and still counting. Wanna hear some more heavy stuff? Try "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" from the "Legend 1997" concert (2013). Su-Metal was just 16 years old back then, but she was a phenomenal singer from the very beginning 😉 You get to see Yuimetal (founding member, left BM in 2018) and the OG Kami Band (all Japanese musicians, and all top notch ones!) with this. Or try the very special version Ganimal83 suggested. Momozilla appearance, and a f*ing great entrance 😁 BABYMETAL concerts are just amazing!
@@tomooo2637 I believe you mixed it up with Yokohama Arena, which is a different beast. Official website says that PIA Arena MM is 10k seated, 12k standing.
This song is over ELEVEN YEARS OLD but it still hits like a new song! This song was released on June 2013 when Su-metal, the lead singer, was just 16 years old! Also, I believe this song has been performed live the most since it is pretty much performed at every BABYMETAL concert.🤘🦊🤘
Yup, Japanese and South American crowds as well really feel it and they show it! I have to move, jump and dance when the music is right, as this is. I just saw Babymetal in Florida for the second time last week, where they played this. I would really love to go to a Babymetal show in Japan!!
My benchmark is: Megitsune Metrock 2015, when you can clearly see the crowd, it's a festival, no their own show, but 90% is Babymetal fans, because it's basically 'home town'. And if someone wants to make the Slipknot's "Jump The F Up" moment with Megitsune, it's Megitsune at Rock in Japan 2016. Sadly both performances can't be reacted to on UA-cam, because of copyright ownership.
In Japan no-one uses phones in the concerts...Every song is like this with the crowd participation...Amazing concerts...Hoping to go again next year if they actually play in Japan...
I know in kpop when a group releases a new song, the company or official fanclub will release a lyric primer that notes where the fans can sing, do chants, and what those chants are. With the singers coming from the jpop scene, I wouldn't be too surprised if they still did something similar.
2015 MetRock.. Babymetal girls - yes they were teeny weeny teenagers then - sang Megitsune on a raw, bare bones stage without any frills..and I kid you not, maybe 10-12K people (mostly Japanese) went apeshit.. Daaang it, they were 16-17 yrs old!
A Japanese BabyMetal crowd is controlled insanity. They know when to cheer. When to jump. When to sing. All controlled by Su-Metal. All encouraged by Moa & Momo. Energized by the Kami Band. Overseas fans have caught on. Even in vastly smaller venues, BabyMetal fans are there for BabyMetal and will soak in every second of the experience just like Japanese fans.
The most amazing BM concert for a UK metal head was sonisphere 2014 where they were meant to be on a small stage but with so much interest they wer put on the main with an audience of 65k. The lead singer was 15, the backing were 14. It started with a WTF and finished with us screaming for more after 5 songs. We sold our souls to this band, i hope you enjoy the journey.
Great first reaction. You chose a great song.🦊 This is why I think Megitsune should be the default first reaction for new reactors rather than the traditional Gimmie Chocolate MV. Megitsune is the closest thing to a definitive Babymetal song. Even though there isn't really a truly definitive BM song, this feels like their signature song at least. GC does have a bigger WTF factor, but it being an MV and not live, having babybones instead of the kami band, being over a decade old, and it being so comically kawaii etc. Can all become distractions for some reactors, that fans have to explain away in a 'Trust me bro' way lol. Megitsune (live) on the other hand speaks for itself, it's fire🔥. The WTF aspect of GC would be better served later on as a fun curveball. BTW, their music ranges from prog metal to rap metal, from pure death metal to metal-infused EDM, with everything and anything in between. I'm still waiting for some psychedelic-metal or some surf-metal LOL (actually i'm not even joking, it could easily happen)
While I agree that live is often the way to go, some people make it sound like you're committing a deadly sin, if you listen to the studio version first. That's bullshit, because we all listen to the studio version first, and then find great live versions of it. Just about everyone is introduced to any given song by the album version. The reason I point this out, is that in the studio version (and hence the official mv), there are pig squeals in the breakdown. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻 And I know how many would like to see even more of the band, but remember : this is a session band. It's not an official part of Babymetal, and Babymetal has learned choreography for literally every second of every song they perform, so in single song youtube clips, you mostly see the girls. On the full concert footage and the blu-rays, the Kami Band (very deservedly) get more screen time. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Nice reaction. Since you mentioned Korn. Babymetal opened for Korn a few years back. There are a couple of videos out there with them on stage together. A fun one is them surprising Su with a cake on her birthday. Just an example of how the foxhole is deep and full of surprises.
> "A fun one is them surprising Su with a cake on her birthday." Though they were on stage with them you, clearly, confused Korn with RHCP in this regard.
Had to give you guys a sub, first off I love Babymetal, but also just realized you guys are close to me, (Altoona, Pa) here. I went to the Babymetal show last year when they came to Da Burg. It was like a bucket list for me but I would love to see a show in Japan when they bring out the big shows. Go back to 2014 and watch headbanger and she does the crowd separation and also when she gives the death stare and controls the crowd. And of course we are not a cult ( you might think if you watch the old Baby Metal Death live video lol)
They are just finishing up a 93 concert world tour. The European arena series has the O2 in london next year in may and the 20k tickets were mostly sold in 30 minutes. I got in after 2 minutes and was stuned how difficult to get a good position . The best BM song is the one i am listening to. They showcase the band most concerts, with solos
Thanks and please keep reacting to BABYMETAL 😊 "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro" live at Budokan would be a great reaction for sure 😉
Pia Arena MM is a dedicated music arena in Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by Pia Corporation. Before the official name was decided, it was tentatively called "Pia MM Arena". Wikipedia Address: 3 Chome-2-2 Minatomirai, Nishi Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 220-0012, Japan *Capacity: 12,141* Opened: 2020
Japan is very organized, that is how concerts are spaced out. You become THE ONE ( fans and performers), all having fun together. Su is the main singer (dances less), Moa and Momo are "dance/scream", but they all are amazing singers. They do sing on some songs.
BM live is their bread & butter (4 studio + 1 compilation albums vs. 15 live albums + 13 video albums + 11 limited-edition boxsets). They've been doing this from their very start (2010), initially as a Sakura Gakuin subunit (as its school-themed 'Heavy Music Club') & singing along to backtrack (they couldn't afford a live band at that time, the venues were also typically 500-seat small, & the invites to idol festivals didn't include soundcheck). That said, the East Kamis were be gradually eased in by end-2012/early-2013, when BM started headlining bigger 1,500-3,000 venues on their own (the three IDZ Legend gigs), cleverly through sold-out shows at the same place (a strategy they still maintain in Japan today) instead of not filling out a bigger arena. BM then hit the big-festival scene in the 2nd half of 2013, sharing the limelight with trendy & legacy heavyweights at Summer Sonic (10,000), Inazuma Rock Festival (27,000), Loud Park (20,000), AAA2013 (10,000), Countdown Japan (9,000), Live Expo Tokyo (13,000). On their own, they would sell out three major solo shows (Legend 1997, Red Night & Black Night Budokan) before heading overseas, where their storied Sonisphere UK set (plus HeavyMTL Cana & Lady Gaga US tour) caused a big ruckus in the international metal community. By the time they returned home (start of 2015), the newfangled Team Babymetal live experience (trio, band, crowd) was very evident at Legend 2015 (20,000, see the Road of Resistance Live in Japan clip on UA-cam), Metrock 2015 (40,000, Dailymotion has their 7-song set), Makuhari 2015 (25,000, nowadays best remembered for the East Kamis's Mischiefs of Metal Gods segment). Frankly, their Japan shows during this period (up till selling out 55,000 at Tokyo Dome twice in Sep 2016) remain that classic BM era's most maniacal ever. They were also playing to even larger 75,000-90,000 festivals overseas (Download, Reading & Leeds Festivals in the UK; Carolina Rebellion, Northern Invasion, Chicago Open Air in the USA), before turning those high-profile stints into offers to support RHCP, GnR, Metallica, & Korn in 2017. Megitsune is one of their earliest songs, dating back to 2012. So you can just type the song title + year into UA-cam Search to vicariously revisit its live versions over time. Ditto for Road Of Resistance (which had begun und the provisional title The One over in London during end-2014). That said, it's the long history of Headbanger (which also debuted live in 2012) that is utterly more memorable, & hugely enjoyable in the way its crowd-participation spectacle would evolve through the years. Welcome to the Fox hole.
If you want to see more of the band, look for YAVA! with the Kami Band intro. There's versions with the eastern and western kami bands. They get their own time to jam out featured at the beginning.
You guys are in for such a treat with Babymetal! Although very nice, this is not at all a big show by their standards. They have so many concerts with bigger and more elaborate stage setups, performed in front of much bigger audiences. The Tokyo Dome probably takes the cake, but those videos tend to get taken down from UA-cam, and reactions are often blocked. If you want to see the girls totally own the crowd though, check out _Road of Resistance (live in Japan)._ If you want to listen to a more recent song, try _Monochrome._ Either the heavy metal version at the PIA arena, or the piano version on The First Take (which really shows off Su's vocals). And it is mostly Su that sings. There are songs with Moa or Momo on vocals (they have all had their turn at _Headbanger,_ for instance) but those two girls are mostly backup singers, dancers, and cheerleaders. If you want to see the band (called the Kami Band) featured properly, there are many songs where they appear more prominently, playing intros with extended solos. There are actually two main lineups of the Kami Band; the original Kami Band of the East (with Japanese musicians), and the more recent Kami Band of the West (with American musicians). I would strongly recommend taking a look at _Rondo of Nightmare,_ to get a proper look at the former. They are all insanely talented!
good reaction! welcome to the Fox hole, Babymetal is an amazing band, always perfect live. i recomended ratatata live versión with Electric Callboy they are super together in stage. The Fox festival one is the best. i love yours reactions
Nice reaction! The crowds are such a part of Babymetal shows as a lot of their songs have crowd interaction built into it. You've seen Babymetal in their latest concerts. You should check some of their older stuff. For something newer with a spotlight on the band you might want to check out Maya with the Western Kami band intro or for something older maybe Rondo of Nightmare (a Su solo song) with the Eastern Kami band intro.
I definitely recommend checking out their 2014 performance of the song Ijime, Dame, Zettai (No More Bullying Forerver) from the Sonisphere festival in the UK. They were so young, and this was their first festival outside of Asia. They were originally set to perform on a small side stage, but were moved up to the main stage because of the buzz online following their viral Gimme Chocolate music video. This was the show, the moment, when Babymetal became a band people around the world were talking about. UK metal crowds are notoriously hostile if they don't like the band, and there were rumors that people were going to throw things at them (could you imaging throwing bottles at these girls), but instead they kicked the ass of the crowd and had them begging for more as they left the stage. Fun fact, Babymetal sold more merch at Sonisphere than either Metallica or Iron Maiden did that year.
Guys, awesome, pls go for more BM stuff. Always live :) there is a ton of stuff like this one. Stay in the PIA arena and you cant get wrong :) you wont regret I promise. I am 40yo metalhead and in a last 2 years I am listening only BM. It is just another level. Already bought 4 tickets for 2025 EU Tour. Keep up and I´ll sure subscribe.😺
Pia Arena MM has a capacity of 12,141. This two day concert was sold out and was performed 04/01/2023-04/02/2023. In which MOMOMETAL was introduced as the official 3rd member.
Babymetal never disappoints live, but we the fans are disappointed when Babymetal doesn't have the crowd they deserve, but Babymetal gets the crowd going many many times, more than pretty much any band. Yes, even in the US. (you do still get a lot of a phones in the air !)
They have used this song as opening some a couple of times, compared to how often they've used this song. It's the most performed song of Babymetal, in part because it's an old song. This was the second song of that night. Babymetal often open with the song Babymetal Death, but this show (from memory, only ever happened ones they used The Legend, a song itself not performed that many times and this was a time they actually used an other song a couple of times as an opening song: Metal Kingdom). A good performance to check out for opening song, is Babymetal Death, I would recommend Babymetal Death at the Legend 1997 show, at this show it was used as the closing song and given extra attention to the performance and a bit more instrumentals/band.
Gerat recation. the scream in RATATATA was not Su the lead singer was Momo one of the two backup singers/dancers . If you want to hear more creaming you need to listen to listen to the special version of "Metali from Legend MM" or headbanger from Legend MM. but if you want to do headbanger you have to do it in order to understand it first is Legend 1997 then Legend M and last is legend MM
I think Babymetal brings that out from the fans, I've seen lots of BM concerts from all around the world and the fans are always going crazy. You guys are in to a surprise with Babymetal, another 70 songs to go. I recommend Road of Resistance live in Japan and Ijime Dame Zetai in the UK at Sonosphere (first time BM played the west in front of 50 thousand hostile heavy metal fans that never heard about them and everybody loved it). Great reaction guys.
I am working on getting tickets to see them in London in May. If you wanna here Momo growl then you gotta check out the Momobanger version of Headbanger. It is just the most epic thing :D
Babymetal audiences are 50% of why the live shows are so amazing. Everyone has a part, and it combines into an experience like no other. I'm an old metalhead, and have been to a crap-ton of live shows. Metallica, Slayer, Ozzy, etc... and I would take Babymetal over any of them. A few years ago I wouldn't have imagined I could say such a thing, but here we are.

welcome to Babymetal guys. It's okay to have fun too.their crowd is a cult, band meembers are gods and the girls just as good as they come
Nice choice for a first go. If you want to see more of the band check out Rondo of Nightmare (with mischiefs of metal gods intro) live at budokan black night.
Momo growls in Ratatata, If you want to hear another growl, I'd check out the video for momobanger. Su is the main singer, Moa and Momo will ad harmonies, but are listed as scream/dance. I liken them to cheerleaders, they are there to get the crowd pumped up, but they are both good singers. you mentioned the guitar and drum playing a lokng time, so along those lines, I'd like to reccomend you watching Road of Resistance Live in Japan for a review
They should watch Headbanger first before watching one of the birthday special versions with Moa or Momoko taking up lead vocals in the second half (dubbed Moabanger and Momobanger by fans).
You should watch the Head Banger trilogy, First the original with Sue singing lead and then Moa taking lead on her birthday and then MoMo takes lead and you will really see her growl. They are three different performances by the way
Each song Babymetal does live has their own little "opener" so that it gives the fans a chance to react to the song playing. If you're interested in their Official concert opener, it's called Babymetal DEATH! It's more of an introduction to the musicians playing and the girls introducing themselves. I'd recommend Legend 1997's live version of it if you're interested in checking it out!
Hello Guys! You had promised to release this video during your livestream and you delivered! As we had discussed, if you're looking for more Japanese metal bands, here are some "male" ones I'd recommend checking: - Maximum The Hormone (they just released Shimi featuring Atarashii Gakko which is one of the rare Japanese J-Pop bands I love as well) - Jiluka - Paledusk - Dir En Grey Highly recommend these, they're all very creative so you're atleast bound to find interesting stuff coming from these ;). EDIT: If you are indeed fans of live crowd participation, I've never seen a more lively widely participating crowd as BABYMETAL's Metrock 2015 concert. If you ever get the chance, I'd highly recommend watching this festival set of ~6 songs. This crowd goes 20x wilder. And I know what you're talking about with Slipknot 99 ;). I think it'd be great if you could - at some point - for you to organize some kind of live reaction to Metrock with BABYMETAL. You will NOT be disappointed if you're a crowd participation enjoyer. Let me know if you need help organizing that also!
Words that end with an E do something different in Japanese. Think anime. Mee-git-sue-ney👍 'Road of Resistance' official live (the old one) next! Best live performance by any group, any genre EVER!!!!!👊🦊✌️
I'll never forget seeing them twice at the House of Blues in Chicago, and both times, when those "Sore! Sore! (Go, Go!) parts hit, and the girls would have in one direction then the next, the ENTIRE crowd would move side to side, to the point where, I'm not exaggerating, you would often get picked up and moved like 5 feet sideways back and forth. It was incredible. (And of course, like all good metal crowds, everyone still watched out for each other in the pit )🙂🤘
So about the backup girls: In Japan, it's considered impolite to go to a concert and sing along with the vocalist. The rest of the audience is there to hear the band, not you, so they won't sing out loud the way a western crowd would. The 'job' of the backup girls is to give the audience a part that it's accepable to jump and chant along with. The audience is really well syncronized **because** the backup girls keep everything coordinated. They're a big part of what makes the whole thing pop...they're like the interface between the stage and the crowd.
Great explanation! Thanks!
yup. they allow chant, but it is planned one. not just random shouting.
Thank you so much for enlightening me on that, I had no idea this was the case. Sincerely thank you!
@@AstralHippoTotally agree; that's amazing insight/information.
I think I may be due for a continent change. My very autistic brain adores clearly defined rules of conduct like this. Do I like singing along? Sure. But there is something amazing about watching a stadium full of people follow the rules, and the guidelines, and just the basics of common courtesy. That said, I do miss my mosh pit days. Weeks of therapy worked out in a few hours...
The real impact of Babymetal is that they have introduced a whole new generation of people to metal. From teens to seniors.
There concerts are a diverse cross section of humanity 😊❤
Speaking of KORN, BABYMETAL was one of the support acts on KORN's "The Serenity Of Summer" tour back in 2017. There is even a video on UA-cam showing the guys from KORN dressing up just like BABYMETAL's band back when they dressed in white death robes and surprising the girls by getting on stage during their performance of "Gimme Chocolate" and performing with them.🤘🦊🤘
Awesome!
You are right! That KoRN performance at WoodStock is LEGENDARY. That "AAAAARRRREEE YOOOOUUUU REEEAAAADDDDDYYYY!!!!" during the intro to "Blind" was something else. These concerts (especially the two I saw live) gave me a similar legendary energy (if a different vibe, as you mentioned.) The second time someone gave me a front row pass and some free chocolate in line. Just because :)
BABYMETAL just finished a South American tour with SLIPKNOT as one of the headliners of KNOTFEST.
Cory Taylor LOVES them and was introduced to them by his son, who is a huge fan.
Kitsune dao!
I thought it was his son that introduced him.
You guys are in for such a treat.
Welcome to BabyMetal and enjoy the ride of a lifetime.
Watching your reaction was 100% fun, thank you so much, glad I found your channel!
You are in for so much enjoyment. Studio/MV work is great, Live is phenomenal, however you go it will be a blast.
Thank you
Awesome reaction guys, good choice for a first Babymetal song to react to. Japan crowds are off the hook. BM is my favourite band and I was able to see them live at Yokohama Arena earlier this year in Japan. Best show I've ever been to in my entire life and a lot of it was due to the crowd being amazing.
This was the song that got me hooked on Babymetal last year. That same year I bought all their albums (some twice to get extra tracks), bouggt some live DVDs and travelled from Malta to Munich in Germany to see them live.
More Babymetal. Liked and subscribed. 🤘🦊🤘
We appreciate you
Great reaction, thanks! "Megitsune" is definitely a fan favorite and their most played live song (370 times and counting!). Also one of my top favorites.
PIA Arena MM is a dedicated music venue and it has a capacity of over 12,000 people. Filming and taking photos in shows is strictly forbidden in Japan (at least at BABYMETAL shows).
Yeah, crowds in Japan are insane... you need to be a die-hard fan and know every chant and move so you don't look out of place. 😁
🤘🦊
Guys go back to 2014 with this band! “Ijimme Dame Zettai by Babymetal Sonisphere UK” outdoor festival, 3 young Japanese girls with a heavy band first time out of Japan! 60,000 metal heads were stunned 🤘🏼🤘🏼
youve got to check out one of the songs with a kami band intro! i love su so rondo of nightmare is my favorite
Great reaction, guys. I just thought i mentioned since your favourite band was Korn . BabyMetal opened for Korn in 2017 on the US tour .
Any BabyMetal song is worth watching, but Headbangèr and Road of Resistance will probably be mentioned a lot, and the song they opened the 2nd night of these back to back shows at PIA Arena Metal Kingdom if you want to see how to open a show ..
😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
You really can't go wrong with BABYMETAL. Every song will most like make you move in your seat or smile or entertain you one way or another. 🤘🦊🤘
Take the hardest metal and mix in some pure joy, rainbows and unicorns and you get BABYMETAL!!!
Great react and channel, Kitsunes! One of my favorite performance of Megitsune. Simply and absolutely amazing! Definitely you need watch iine live! 3 differents styles in 1 song. Believe me, is simply great!! See you! 🤟🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
They were recently in Brazil, man I am so sad I couldnʼt see them live 😂 I agree with you about seeing these artists on stage having fun with the crowd, it is not an easy job but as soon as they let loose, in a good way ofc, it just becomes natural to have so much fun even with a lot going on technically.
A song from BABYMETAL I would suggest is Rondo of Nightmare, I guess you guys would love this song. It is one of my favourite songs. Please, check out in the future if possible and I wish you guys donʼt have much trouble with copyright issues within the recording label; Amuse 🤘🦊
Babymetal are AMAZING, I'm so glad you're getting into them ❤❤
Funny you should talk about Korn as there's a clip on UA-cam, where Korns frontman talks about Babymetal. Also Babymetal opened for Korn on one of their US tours and a couple of members dressed up and joined the girls on stage. There's a clip of that on UA-cam somewhere along with Babymetal opening for the red hot chilli peppers on their UK tour, there's a clip of Chad bringing out a cake for Su-metals birthday Babymetal's lead singer. Also Chad and Flea performed on stage With Babymetal on the final show of the tour.
Great reaction, i used to be a MV or album listener but with Babymetal i alsways watch the 'Live' videos. the Choreo and audience interaction is so integral to the experience, it lifts the (already great) music to another level. Also they put 100% into their performances even the ones in smaller places (like 1,500) you can see they really want the people to be entertained, and they have so much fun doing it - you can often catch them laughing/smiling to each other. Momo growls a bit more in Metali (though live that bits backing track i think)
Just saw them a couple days ago at a tiny 2,000 capacity venue. They bring this same energy even to their small shows. Maybe even better. They were certainly having a good time, being total goofballs on occasion, and so did the crowd.
Yep, I just say them at a small venue, and they were no different than the Japanese performances on Blu-ray. They are without equal. 🦊 🖖❤
"Best crowd ever" I gotta agree. I'm not what I would consider a huge Babymetal fan, but I would 100% without hesitation go to one of their shows, especially in Japan, to participate in that crowd interaction. I've read that there are rules for the crowds (e.g. no cell phones), which might seem like a buzzkill to some people, but I would personally love the organized fun. Having a blast with little risk of getting hurt *cough cough moshpit cough cough* sounds great.
Great reaction! Hope you do more! Babymetal is positivity and cuteness wrapped in blistering metal. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Welcome back, great reaction and great choice of song and performance, thanks for listening to the recommendations.
'Megitsune' was the first song they released after becoming an independent act following their separation from their parent JPop Idol group Sakura Gakuin in 2013.
It is a big favourite, often coming top in fan polls and it is the song they have played live more times than any other. It is also arguably the song that showcases better than most what BABYMETAL are about and one that truly reflects their Japanese culture the best starting with the traditional instruments (shamisen or koto, you decide which) in the intro and the lyrics about women being compared to foxes (kitsune - which also explains Su's fox mask) which, in Japanese mythology, are able to shape shift and take human form in order to deceive.
It is also a bit of a push back against the traditional subservient female role in Japanese society, saying that is changing I think - or maybe it is - whilst also praising and celebrating the women who have played that role over the years for their strength.
They are saying that women wearing their make up and hiding their true feelings ("crying at heart, smiling at face") are not trying to deceive anybody, they are simply trying to please everybody - so they are not kitsune (foxes), they are megitsune (female foxes or vixens) - and they are strong.
The melody used in the intro and in the breakdown in the middle of the song (I'm not sure if you could hear the pig squeal screams in this one, you definitely can in the studio recording) is from the very well known Japanese folk song called 'Sakura Sakura' (Cherry Blossoms).
When Su spoke a couple of words and did her high kick she said "Otome wa ... nametara ikan zeyo." (Maidens ... shouldn't be underestimated). The last part of this is a famous quote from a Japanese gangster movie said by the daughter of a gang boss.
Su-metal is lead vocalist, but yes the two girls Moametal and Momometal do harmonies, backing vocals and lead the chants - all the "sore sore sore sore" (go go go go) parts in this were Moa (Momoko did not have her mic yet, she was only made an official member at the end of this show and got her mic the next night).
The Kami Band are the instrumentalists - here you heard (maybe didn't see so much, but that is because this was from the BluRay and the cameras tend to focus on the girls) were Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio on guitars, Clint Tustin on bass and Anthony Barone on drums.
PIA MM Arena is in Yokohama and is one of the smaller arenas they've played in Japan in recent years - I don't remember the exact capacity, I think it was somewhere round 12,000?
Japanese crowds are best because they don't allow people to use phones - everybody is there living in the moment and getting involved. Having said that, BABYMETAL played in Washington DC last night and it seems the crowd (despite all the phones) was a good one. 🤘
Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely helps down the road when we do more.
@@millennialxreactions Glad it may have helped - and I'm looking forward to when you do more.
Hehe, yeah, I watched some fancams, and there is a visible change in the US crowd´s behaviour. They get more lively recently. Less phones, more action. Best thing was the crowd surfer at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC, catching a high five or fist bump from Moametal🤣
@@Wolfpack94487 Good news - and I haven't seen that one!😲
@@Grington300 This tour is sheer madness, wherever they go. They´re getting better and better and better...
absolutely amazing please please please more Babymetal 🥺🥺💜🫶🏻💜🫶🏻
Great reaction! The PIA Arena is one of the smaller venues BABYMETAL played in Japan. Appr. 12k capacity, a bit less (about 10k) because of the huge stage. In 2016 they played the Tokyo Dome on two consecutive nights. 55k capacity, a slightly megalomaniac stage, and both nights sold out 😄The crowds are BABYMETAL´s crown juwels, I believe. The Japanese crowds are god level, every single time. EU, UK, and South America crowds are boss level. You should watch fancams from EU and UK concerts to see HUGE Row Boats happening to "Megitsune" 😄 Not to mention the South America fancams, the South Americans are an awesome audience, loud and super enthusiastic! There was an "incident" during the performance of "Metali!" at the Audio, São Paulo, which you should see after you reacted to "Metali!" (live version, pls!) 😆
"Megitsune" is very heavy, very Japanese, and it is a showcase for what BABYMETAL is doing. They play it at almost every concert, performed nearly 400 times now, and still counting.
Wanna hear some more heavy stuff? Try "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" from the "Legend 1997" concert (2013). Su-Metal was just 16 years old back then, but she was a phenomenal singer from the very beginning 😉 You get to see Yuimetal (founding member, left BM in 2018) and the OG Kami Band (all Japanese musicians, and all top notch ones!) with this.
Or try the very special version Ganimal83 suggested. Momozilla appearance, and a f*ing great entrance 😁
BABYMETAL concerts are just amazing!
I'm a 70-year-old headbanger and Babymetal saved my musical soul.
Subbing, to watch your amazement as you enjoy this fantastic music.
#notacult
It is 17k seated arena with about 15k used in BM concert. There is an additional 10-12k standing in the arena.
@@tomooo2637 I believe you mixed it up with Yokohama Arena, which is a different beast. Official website says that PIA Arena MM is 10k seated, 12k standing.
@Wolfpack94487 I looked up on the BM official site, says 30k
This song is over ELEVEN YEARS OLD but it still hits like a new song! This song was released on June 2013 when Su-metal, the lead singer, was just 16 years old! Also, I believe this song has been performed live the most since it is pretty much performed at every BABYMETAL concert.🤘🦊🤘
That's crazy it's that old
Su was still 15 in June. She turned 16 in December. 😉
Still one of their all-time greatest songs. 🤘🦊🤘
Yup, Japanese and South American crowds as well really feel it and they show it! I have to move, jump and dance when the music is right, as this is. I just saw Babymetal in Florida for the second time last week, where they played this. I would really love to go to a Babymetal show in Japan!!
My benchmark is: Megitsune Metrock 2015, when you can clearly see the crowd, it's a festival, no their own show, but 90% is Babymetal fans, because it's basically 'home town'.
And if someone wants to make the Slipknot's "Jump The F Up" moment with Megitsune, it's Megitsune at Rock in Japan 2016. Sadly both performances can't be reacted to on UA-cam, because of copyright ownership.
@@autohmae Yes, i have that video and love it...Megitsune and IIne are amazing;)
In Japan no-one uses phones in the concerts...Every song is like this with the crowd participation...Amazing concerts...Hoping to go again next year if they actually play in Japan...
You can react to every song in this show. The other songs are on this level and above.
I know in kpop when a group releases a new song, the company or official fanclub will release a lyric primer that notes where the fans can sing, do chants, and what those chants are. With the singers coming from the jpop scene, I wouldn't be too surprised if they still did something similar.
2015 MetRock.. Babymetal girls - yes they were teeny weeny teenagers then - sang Megitsune on a raw, bare bones stage without any frills..and I kid you not, maybe 10-12K people (mostly Japanese) went apeshit..
Daaang it, they were 16-17 yrs old!
I went to the BABYMETAL show in Charlotte and ended up in the pit. The crowd was excited. Crowd surfing, moshing, and wall of death.
A Japanese BabyMetal crowd is controlled insanity. They know when to cheer. When to jump. When to sing. All controlled by Su-Metal. All encouraged by Moa & Momo. Energized by the Kami Band. Overseas fans have caught on. Even in vastly smaller venues, BabyMetal fans are there for BabyMetal and will soak in every second of the experience just like Japanese fans.
The most amazing BM concert for a UK metal head was sonisphere 2014 where they were meant to be on a small stage but with so much interest they wer put on the main with an audience of 65k. The lead singer was 15, the backing were 14. It started with a WTF and finished with us screaming for more after 5 songs. We sold our souls to this band, i hope you enjoy the journey.
Great first reaction. You chose a great song.🦊
This is why I think Megitsune should be the default first reaction for new reactors rather than the traditional Gimmie Chocolate MV. Megitsune is the closest thing to a definitive Babymetal song. Even though there isn't really a truly definitive BM song, this feels like their signature song at least.
GC does have a bigger WTF factor, but it being an MV and not live, having babybones instead of the kami band, being over a decade old, and it being so comically kawaii etc. Can all become distractions for some reactors, that fans have to explain away in a 'Trust me bro' way lol. Megitsune (live) on the other hand speaks for itself, it's fire🔥. The WTF aspect of GC would be better served later on as a fun curveball.
BTW, their music ranges from prog metal to rap metal, from pure death metal to metal-infused EDM, with everything and anything in between. I'm still waiting for some psychedelic-metal or some surf-metal LOL (actually i'm not even joking, it could easily happen)
While I agree that live is often the way to go, some people make it sound like you're committing a deadly sin, if you listen to the studio version first. That's bullshit, because we all listen to the studio version first, and then find great live versions of it. Just about everyone is introduced to any given song by the album version.
The reason I point this out, is that in the studio version (and hence the official mv), there are pig squeals in the breakdown. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
And I know how many would like to see even more of the band, but remember : this is a session band. It's not an official part of Babymetal, and Babymetal has learned choreography for literally every second of every song they perform, so in single song youtube clips, you mostly see the girls. On the full concert footage and the blu-rays, the Kami Band (very deservedly) get more screen time. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
One thing a love about this live version of this song is how they sneaked in the Kami solos during the breakdown.
Nice reaction. Since you mentioned Korn. Babymetal opened for Korn a few years back. There are a couple of videos out there with them on stage together. A fun one is them surprising Su with a cake on her birthday. Just an example of how the foxhole is deep and full of surprises.
> "A fun one is them surprising Su with a cake on her birthday."
Though they were on stage with them you, clearly, confused Korn with RHCP in this regard.
@steffenjachnow8176 yup was at work when I wrote that. Clearly not thinking. 😂
Had to give you guys a sub, first off I love Babymetal, but also just realized you guys are close to me, (Altoona, Pa) here. I went to the Babymetal show last year when they came to Da Burg. It was like a bucket list for me but I would love to see a show in Japan when they bring out the big shows. Go back to 2014 and watch headbanger and she does the crowd separation and also when she gives the death stare and controls the crowd. And of course we are not a cult ( you might think if you watch the old Baby Metal Death live video lol)
Not far at all. Thanks for the sub!
They are just finishing up a 93 concert world tour. The European arena series has the O2 in london next year in may and the 20k tickets were mostly sold in 30 minutes. I got in after 2 minutes and was stuned how difficult to get a good position .
The best BM song is the one i am listening to.
They showcase the band most concerts, with solos
8:35 I recommend seeing the concerts they did in Brazil, or concerts in general in Brazil.
Like that comment. "Heavy, mixed with Happiness" BM redefined Metal.
Thanks and please keep reacting to BABYMETAL 😊
"Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro" live at Budokan would be a great reaction for sure 😉
Pia Arena MM is a dedicated music arena in Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by Pia Corporation. Before the official name was decided, it was tentatively called "Pia MM Arena". Wikipedia
Address: 3 Chome-2-2 Minatomirai, Nishi Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 220-0012, Japan
*Capacity: 12,141*
Opened: 2020
Should of been at the Babymetal show in Washington Dc the other day. It was insanely good.
Japan is very organized, that is how concerts are spaced out. You become THE ONE ( fans and performers), all having fun together. Su is the main singer (dances less), Moa and Momo are "dance/scream", but they all are amazing singers. They do sing on some songs.
Keep then coming, we're along for the journey ❤
Babymetal has a deep and diverse catalogue and lots of epic live performances. Enjoy the journey! 🤘🦊
Awesome reaction! BABYMETAL rules!
Adorable. Powerful. Inspiring. That's what Babymetal is to me ❤🤘🤘🤘
I would've added "wallet draining" to that :)
BM live is their bread & butter (4 studio + 1 compilation albums vs. 15 live albums + 13 video albums + 11 limited-edition boxsets). They've been doing this from their very start (2010), initially as a Sakura Gakuin subunit (as its school-themed 'Heavy Music Club') & singing along to backtrack (they couldn't afford a live band at that time, the venues were also typically 500-seat small, & the invites to idol festivals didn't include soundcheck).
That said, the East Kamis were be gradually eased in by end-2012/early-2013, when BM started headlining bigger 1,500-3,000 venues on their own (the three IDZ Legend gigs), cleverly through sold-out shows at the same place (a strategy they still maintain in Japan today) instead of not filling out a bigger arena.
BM then hit the big-festival scene in the 2nd half of 2013, sharing the limelight with trendy & legacy heavyweights at Summer Sonic (10,000), Inazuma Rock Festival (27,000), Loud Park (20,000), AAA2013 (10,000), Countdown Japan (9,000), Live Expo Tokyo (13,000). On their own, they would sell out three major solo shows (Legend 1997, Red Night & Black Night Budokan) before heading overseas, where their storied Sonisphere UK set (plus HeavyMTL Cana & Lady Gaga US tour) caused a big ruckus in the international metal community.
By the time they returned home (start of 2015), the newfangled Team Babymetal live experience (trio, band, crowd) was very evident at Legend 2015 (20,000, see the Road of Resistance Live in Japan clip on UA-cam), Metrock 2015 (40,000, Dailymotion has their 7-song set), Makuhari 2015 (25,000, nowadays best remembered for the East Kamis's Mischiefs of Metal Gods segment).
Frankly, their Japan shows during this period (up till selling out 55,000 at Tokyo Dome twice in Sep 2016) remain that classic BM era's most maniacal ever. They were also playing to even larger 75,000-90,000 festivals overseas (Download, Reading & Leeds Festivals in the UK; Carolina Rebellion, Northern Invasion, Chicago Open Air in the USA), before turning those high-profile stints into offers to support RHCP, GnR, Metallica, & Korn in 2017.
Megitsune is one of their earliest songs, dating back to 2012. So you can just type the song title + year into UA-cam Search to vicariously revisit its live versions over time. Ditto for Road Of Resistance (which had begun und the provisional title The One over in London during end-2014). That said, it's the long history of Headbanger (which also debuted live in 2012) that is utterly more memorable, & hugely enjoyable in the way its crowd-participation spectacle would evolve through the years.
Welcome to the Fox hole.
If you want to see more of the band, look for YAVA! with the Kami Band intro. There's versions with the eastern and western kami bands. They get their own time to jam out featured at the beginning.
You guys are in for such a treat with Babymetal! Although very nice, this is not at all a big show by their standards. They have so many concerts with bigger and more elaborate stage setups, performed in front of much bigger audiences. The Tokyo Dome probably takes the cake, but those videos tend to get taken down from UA-cam, and reactions are often blocked. If you want to see the girls totally own the crowd though, check out _Road of Resistance (live in Japan)._ If you want to listen to a more recent song, try _Monochrome._ Either the heavy metal version at the PIA arena, or the piano version on The First Take (which really shows off Su's vocals). And it is mostly Su that sings. There are songs with Moa or Momo on vocals (they have all had their turn at _Headbanger,_ for instance) but those two girls are mostly backup singers, dancers, and cheerleaders.
If you want to see the band (called the Kami Band) featured properly, there are many songs where they appear more prominently, playing intros with extended solos. There are actually two main lineups of the Kami Band; the original Kami Band of the East (with Japanese musicians), and the more recent Kami Band of the West (with American musicians). I would strongly recommend taking a look at _Rondo of Nightmare,_ to get a proper look at the former. They are all insanely talented!
good reaction! welcome to the Fox hole, Babymetal is an amazing band, always perfect live. i recomended ratatata live versión with Electric Callboy they are super together in stage. The Fox festival one is the best. i love yours reactions
Keep calm and BABYMETAL! 🤘🦊🤘
Nice reaction! The crowds are such a part of Babymetal shows as a lot of their songs have crowd interaction built into it. You've seen Babymetal in their latest concerts. You should check some of their older stuff. For something newer with a spotlight on the band you might want to check out Maya with the Western Kami band intro or for something older maybe Rondo of Nightmare (a Su solo song) with the Eastern Kami band intro.
to be fair, every Babymetal song is its own juwel. hard to tell you guys what to listen to, i like them all :)
I definitely recommend checking out their 2014 performance of the song Ijime, Dame, Zettai (No More Bullying Forerver) from the Sonisphere festival in the UK. They were so young, and this was their first festival outside of Asia. They were originally set to perform on a small side stage, but were moved up to the main stage because of the buzz online following their viral Gimme Chocolate music video. This was the show, the moment, when Babymetal became a band people around the world were talking about.
UK metal crowds are notoriously hostile if they don't like the band, and there were rumors that people were going to throw things at them (could you imaging throwing bottles at these girls), but instead they kicked the ass of the crowd and had them begging for more as they left the stage.
Fun fact, Babymetal sold more merch at Sonisphere than either Metallica or Iron Maiden did that year.
It’s time to book your babymetal tickets if you guys love/miss this crowd vibes. It’s still as you see it from the video at all their shows.
The drummer is Anthony Barone who has been in a number of Death and Metalcore bands.
" Live BABYMETAL is Life "
Guys you need to react to catch me if you can live to see the band perform solos it’s insane
Next, "Headbanger" Legend of 1997. This was before they hit internationally. You're not going believe the audience.
Also Yava LIVE from Legend MM concert 2024 HQ Pro Shot from the For The Fox God channel has a great intro by the Kami Band.
Metali y Kagerou del mismo concierto Legend MM tienen tambien intros de la Kami Band seria buenas opciones para reaccionar en el futuro
@@JuanGomez-dk6kf Yes. Kagerou LIVE Legend MM is a great performance.
Guys, awesome, pls go for more BM stuff. Always live :) there is a ton of stuff like this one. Stay in the PIA arena and you cant get wrong :) you wont regret I promise. I am 40yo metalhead and in a last 2 years I am listening only BM. It is just another level. Already bought 4 tickets for 2025 EU Tour. Keep up and I´ll sure subscribe.😺
Try BxMxC. Something tells me you will ❤that one. 🤘😎🤘 the band does get their time to shine. Try "tatoo" live.( kagerou.. )
their band from usa by the way 😄
2021 Budokan Akatsuki for SuMetal's awesome singing!
Pia Arena MM has a capacity of 12,141. This two day concert was sold out and was performed 04/01/2023-04/02/2023.
In which MOMOMETAL was introduced as the official 3rd member.
Great reaction!🤘🦊♪
Babymetal first MV was in 2010, they were 12 and 10 yo AND even then they were professionals.
yeah babymetal is all about live show performance
Babymetal never disappoints live, but we the fans are disappointed when Babymetal doesn't have the crowd they deserve, but Babymetal gets the crowd going many many times, more than pretty much any band. Yes, even in the US. (you do still get a lot of a phones in the air !)
They have used this song as opening some a couple of times, compared to how often they've used this song. It's the most performed song of Babymetal, in part because it's an old song. This was the second song of that night. Babymetal often open with the song Babymetal Death, but this show (from memory, only ever happened ones they used The Legend, a song itself not performed that many times and this was a time they actually used an other song a couple of times as an opening song: Metal Kingdom). A good performance to check out for opening song, is Babymetal Death, I would recommend Babymetal Death at the Legend 1997 show, at this show it was used as the closing song and given extra attention to the performance and a bit more instrumentals/band.
Gerat recation. the scream in RATATATA was not Su the lead singer was Momo one of the two backup singers/dancers . If you want to hear more creaming you need to listen to listen to the special version of "Metali from Legend MM" or headbanger from Legend MM. but if you want to do headbanger you have to do it in order to understand it first is Legend 1997 then Legend M and last is legend MM
I think Babymetal brings that out from the fans, I've seen lots of BM concerts from all around the world and the fans are always going crazy. You guys are in to a surprise with Babymetal, another 70 songs to go. I recommend Road of Resistance live in Japan and Ijime Dame Zetai in the UK at Sonosphere (first time BM played the west in front of 50 thousand hostile heavy metal fans that never heard about them and everybody loved it). Great reaction guys.
I am working on getting tickets to see them in London in May. If you wanna here Momo growl then you gotta check out the Momobanger version of Headbanger. It is just the most epic thing :D
BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
Nice reaction🦊⚔️ My favorite lyric is "Women are actresses."💕
Babymetal audiences are 50% of why the live shows are so amazing. Everyone has a part, and it combines into an experience like no other. I'm an old metalhead, and have been to a crap-ton of live shows. Metallica, Slayer, Ozzy, etc... and I would take Babymetal over any of them. A few years ago I wouldn't have imagined I could say such a thing, but here we are.
welcome to Babymetal guys. It's okay to have fun too.their crowd is a cult, band meembers are gods and the girls just as good as they come
Well done gentlemen.
Suggest Metal Kingdom LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from the For The Fox God channel.
2nd Metal Kingdom epic opening it is a great way to open a show 😁🤘🏼🦊
@ thanks my friend. 👍
@rah2287 🤘🏼🦊😁
Nice choice for a first go. If you want to see more of the band check out Rondo of Nightmare (with mischiefs of metal gods intro) live at budokan black night.
Momo growls in Ratatata, If you want to hear another growl, I'd check out the video for momobanger. Su is the main singer, Moa and Momo will ad harmonies, but are listed as scream/dance. I liken them to cheerleaders, they are there to get the crowd pumped up, but they are both good singers. you mentioned the guitar and drum playing a lokng time, so along those lines, I'd like to reccomend you watching Road of Resistance Live in Japan for a review
They should watch Headbanger first before watching one of the birthday special versions with Moa or Momoko taking up lead vocals in the second half (dubbed Moabanger and Momobanger by fans).
My decade was the 80s - no frickin' phones. Pure bliss.
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Sore ! Sore ! Sore ! SoreSoreSoreSore!! !!!
BABYMETAL, to try it is to adopt it !
You should watch the Head Banger trilogy, First the original with Sue singing lead and then Moa taking lead on her birthday and then MoMo takes lead and you will really see her growl. They are three different performances by the way
Don't forget, Yui also had one but unfortunately there's only a fancam version of that one
There is also the "Night of 15 Mix with Ave Marie Intro" from the Legend 1997 (2013) show
The almighty algorithm sent me here, and I'm thankful 'cause you're just such likeable dudes. Easy sub!
Thanks!
Fine jobs gents👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾
good god are you guy in for a treat......visit their early stuff first for maximum amazement. Road to Resistance Live Tokyo will blow your minds
I would recommend, Rondo of Nightmare w/ Mischief of the Gods intro at Budokan. There's a cool Kami Band showcase there ;)
Capacity, the PIA is a stadium with 17k seating, but i believe does not include standing, it is meant as a stadium, so i thing there is another 10k.
Each song Babymetal does live has their own little "opener" so that it gives the fans a chance to react to the song playing. If you're interested in their Official concert opener, it's called Babymetal DEATH! It's more of an introduction to the musicians playing and the girls introducing themselves. I'd recommend Legend 1997's live version of it if you're interested in checking it out!
Hello Guys! You had promised to release this video during your livestream and you delivered!
As we had discussed, if you're looking for more Japanese metal bands, here are some "male" ones I'd recommend checking:
- Maximum The Hormone (they just released Shimi featuring Atarashii Gakko which is one of the rare Japanese J-Pop bands I love as well)
- Jiluka
- Paledusk
- Dir En Grey
Highly recommend these, they're all very creative so you're atleast bound to find interesting stuff coming from these ;).
EDIT: If you are indeed fans of live crowd participation, I've never seen a more lively widely participating crowd as BABYMETAL's Metrock 2015 concert. If you ever get the chance, I'd highly recommend watching this festival set of ~6 songs. This crowd goes 20x wilder. And I know what you're talking about with Slipknot 99 ;). I think it'd be great if you could - at some point - for you to organize some kind of live reaction to Metrock with BABYMETAL. You will NOT be disappointed if you're a crowd participation enjoyer. Let me know if you need help organizing that also!
Thanks! And thanks for hanging with us on the live
FYI: The original studio version and original music video have a pig squeal in the breakdown section of the song.
Words that end with an E do something different in Japanese. Think anime.
Mee-git-sue-ney👍
'Road of Resistance' official live (the old one) next!
Best live performance by any group, any genre EVER!!!!!👊🦊✌️
I'll never forget seeing them twice at the House of Blues in Chicago, and both times, when those "Sore! Sore! (Go, Go!) parts hit, and the girls would have in one direction then the next, the ENTIRE crowd would move side to side, to the point where, I'm not exaggerating, you would often get picked up and moved like 5 feet sideways back and forth. It was incredible. (And of course, like all good metal crowds, everyone still watched out for each other in the pit )🙂🤘
im seeing them in may at 02 in london, genuinely so fricken happy, cannot wait
