You said it!!! That wtf moment when people first see Babymetal is one of my favourite things on UA-cam!!!😁 Babymetal are the originators of Kawaii Metal! Kawai=cute. The Kawaii culture is in everything in Japan where they come from. They're super popular outside Japan now and regularly play in The US and Europe. They 've performed with greats like Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rob Halford of Judas Priest and won loads of Rock awards here in the west. They are huge!!!!
BABYMETAL - Japanese girls who have been frightening and/or pissing off metal elitists who think it can't be real metal if the singer sings and doesn't growl for nearly 10 years.
@@Dragon-Believer Was at just after 2:27 or so. I really liked how Beez described it during the review of the latest album Metal Galaxy on the "That's Not Metal Podcast": "while I agree the first time you listen to a Babymetal album is mind bending to a point where you can feel the bobbling in your cranium where your brain is trying to take in everything that is going on...[these tracks do work together as an album]" :-)
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill-the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill-you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the fox hole goes.
They're from Japan. I have no idea what they're saying most of the time, but I still have them in my playlist. Honestly, good stuff to hear on the commute to work. Great energy and nice voice with heavy music!
I like not knowing. I listened to Ramstein and i always thought it was bad that i couldn't understand the Lyrics. Then they wrote in English and it wasn't as good.
I doesnt bother me not knowing what they are saying. If it sounds good then thats enough. Besides there are plenty of bands who sing in english and i cant undestand a word they say
@@Dragon-Believer I think both with Rammstein and Babymetal when they have a song in English, the original was already written in their native language, they are trying to make it fit the music. It just doesn't work that well. If they would write an English song from scratch I think it would work better. But writing original songs in a second language at the same skill level might also not be easy.
@@autohmae - Better. Probably. But it's never going to sound good. Also it's cringy in general and i feel embarassed for them and also on behalf of native english speakers. I don't require this of them. Everybody else hears english it's not going to hurt us to hear another language.
@@Dragon-Believer your comment "autohmae - Better. Probably. But it's still kind of cringe. Much rather hear them in their native language." didn't showing up in the comments, just in my notification... Yeah, I can see that.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 The lyrics are about a 15 year old girl attending her first heavy concert. The lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto, or Su) recorded the song when she was 14. This concert was 'Legend 1997' on December 21st, 2013, celebrating Su's 16th Birthday. (Just to help with the math, she was born in 1997). Even though 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!' looked like the finale, it was followed by two more songs. It was part of a five song encore with the live Kami Band. The drummer is Hideki Aoyama. He is still their main drummer and plays at almost every concert. The bassist is BOH. Guitarists that night were Leda Cygnus and the late great Mikio Fujioka. Even though BABYMEYAL really shine in their live performances, the music video for 'Karate' from the second album is definitely worth watching. ua-cam.com/video/GvD3CHA48pA/v-deo.html
Babymetal are Japanese. They are incredible live. Their single Gimme Chocolate (the best Metal song about eating chocolate ever) has 100 MILLION hits. This video, though brilliant, is from 4 or 5 years ago. They sold out their USA tour very quickly and have just sold out their European tour (but I have tickets to see them in 19 days!). After 45 years of mostly male Metal, they are very refreshing.
The best BABYMETAL is a live BABYMETAL. Their studio albums are great but their live performance is where the real BABYMETAL experience can be truly felt. Most of their great live vids had been taken down from YT but there are still a few that are still great as well. If you want to be shocked, try BABYMETAL Death from their Legend 1997 concerts. 1997 is not the year the concert was held but it was the year their lead singer - Su-Metal was born. This concert was for her 16th birthday celebration. Try to remember how you celebrate your 16th birthday and try to compare it to how she celebrated ua-cam.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/v-deo.html
The 'ki-e-ro' crowd chant moment at 5.35 mark of your video still gives me goosebumps every time I watch this video, Made all the more effective as the instruments all come back in.When they played this song at the forum in los angeles in oct we went crazy.....And we hit the' ki-e-ro' chant right on que and our queen was smiling with approval. Did you notice SUE rocking the FREDDY MERCURY style mic stick? Watching BABYMETAL is like getting punched in the face by three kawaii Asian girls, and you know what I'm ok with that. Its times like this when you realize three kawaii Asian girls are more METAL than you. SU-METAL is our GODDESS QUEEN and an IDOL LEGEND.
As a 55yr old that enjoys pretty much all genres of music this group shocked me @ how well it works. So much so that I was blessed to see them twice last year. First I drove to St Paul, MN to watch them in a 1200 capacity club & a few weeks later flew to LA from Wisconsin for their first ever USA arena show. Amazing!! Hopefully you'll do more.
@@autohmae I've done a lot of wrong in my life, but that is one thing I did right, lol. I got the VIP package for St Paul, so I was right up front & on an elevated platform. So to witness them that way & then with 10,000? or so people for the full arena show in LA was spectacular in a whole different way.
@@busser649 I know they are different experiences and that's exactly why I mentioned it. I've been at smaller shows and at Wembley Arena. The Forum was probably with 17 000+ people.
Outstanding! I am going to attempt that on their next US tour. I was quite pleased with how close I got with just GA tickets at House of Blues last September. Hope to see you there. Look for the 60 year old Hawaiian guy. Good possibility of having a neck brace on.
There is nothing like a BABYMETAL concert! This not even as wild as they get. Unfortunately their most recent concert footage won't be out for at least several months (the performance you watched was from 2013 and the group is still going) but in the meantime I recommend checking out BABYMETAL DEATH (from the Legend 1997 concert), Road of Resistance, or Rondo of Nightmare w/ Gods of Mischief intro. The group is pretty big in Japan (their largest performance was at the Tokyo Dome with 55,000 people in 2016) and they are gaining a foot hold in the West (they just finished their US tour last fall by selling out the Forum in LA with 17,000 people).
Wanna see how their audience REALLY goes NUTS? and experience Suzukas Voice skills? Completely other style of song though but one of my favs- Babymetal Road of Resistance live in Japan will blow you away!
Yes, they are.... different. :-) But Babymetal after the initial WTF and seeing some more of them actually does start to make sense and it does work. :-) Yes, many have mentioned it's Kawaii-metal aka cute-metal, I think what needs to be mention is in this case cute means adorable. It's part of a bigger Japanese (sub)culture of Kawaii.
Welcome to the real experiment of Baby Metal. They challenge the metal music in every which way. Each song is uniquely different and dynamic. Hopefully, you will see...
I’ve been waiting for this! Let’s dig into The Fox Hole...! And do believe: I’m a Tool fan, Rage Against The Machine fan, I listen to Marilyn Manson, I listen to Slipknot, I love Nirvana, I love Nine Inch Nails, well you get the picture, but I really enjoy Babymetal... I suggest Road of Resistance song for the next reaction; it’s the one that got me hooked for them...
Scaring the crap out of the Metal"Elitist" for the last Decade, Babymetal's New Born Genre of music, "Kawaii(cute) Metal" has the whole world looking to Japan for what's next in the World Music Scene!! Babymetal, Band Maid, Maximum the Hormone, Aldious and yes, still X-Japan, they have the world talking!!! And now, you're talking about it too!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
I don't know if anybody is ever going to be able to copy this. They really caught lightning in a bottle. The girls are uniquely good. You're not going to find 10 year old girls with the charisma, acting and dancing that they had when they started Babymetal. Then to pull all the rest of it off with the writing and musicianship. Tough.
Whoever recommended this to you great song recommendation. They are always better live than a music video. You can watch any song they do live and it's going to be good. Most of them are great. Here's another easy can't miss Babymetal song: IDZ live ua-cam.com/video/fMbbvZoHjGo/v-deo.html 'no bullying forever' Not the normal version people do but this one is great too! They wear white which i've never seen in any other video. And it's lit.
They wear white because it signifies rebirth, as in: "the king is dead, long life the king". Babymetal started as part of an other group, Sakura Gakuin and this is when they said: the old Babymetal doesn't exist anymore, we are now independent.
HAHAHA i had that exact face the first time I saw them. But now I cant get enough of them. RIP Mikio Fujikoa The world lost one of the MOST underrated GREATS!!!
LOL, You just watched as a Japanese Metal magazine publisher said "The most famous Japanese high school students in the World." At the time of this concert they were in their mid-teens. They are still the most popular/famous band from Japan and last year sold-out the LA Forum. The 3 girls have been performing professionally on stage/TV since about the age of 6 yo. The girls Band names are Su-Metal, Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal and at the time the group was formed they never heard Metal Music. They have been the opening act for; Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Lady Gaga. Rob Halford (Judas Priest) performed with them and in an interview named them "The Monster Ladies of Metal". DANGER DANGER you are about to fall into the Foxhole!!
Welcome to Babymetal, my man! If you decide to keep checking them out, you will experience many musical styles....with a metal backing. Looking forward to more reactions!
Your reaction is like the reaction of billyyousocrazy when he reacted first time to iine by BABYMETAL,Joey chrobak is the same person who ask to make a reaction video
Don't forget to check out BAND-MAID. Everything they do is awesome. They have a broad range of influences. Don't forget to check them out LIVE. That's when they're at their best. Something like 'Play!' LIVE. But speaking of Badass Drummers. Jimmy Page said Akane is the reincarnation of John Bonham. Not that they sound like Led Zepplin. But here's probably their heaviest tune, very Metal influenced. It's called 'Rin'en', which coincidentally means reincarnation. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/v-deo.html
Great reaction and spot on about the performance. They have won awards for best live act . 23 days untll i see them again hyped already. You have been descended upon by The One ( name given by BabyMetal) the fans with loads of info and recommendations. There" Road of Resistance live in Japan " is a great experience. depending if you jump into the foxhole we will be waiting to watch your reaction. 🤘😁🤘 ua-cam.com/video/zTEYUFgLveY/v-deo.html
Well that's it, you're in the fox hole now buddy. There's no turning back. May as well just sit back and enjoy the ride. 🎶 Karate 🎶 Road of Resistance 🎶 Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)
It seems weird at first, but it gets better and better the more you listen to them. Three songs and there's no trning back. Most entertaining band ever!
Bro people aren't going crazy! There straight fuckin NUTZ🤪 You would have been right at home in the 80's & 90's! But you know that!! I'm into Asian food! especially Thai! Much love dude!✌
Seeing Babymetal live is certainly a fun experience, especially seeing them play their home turf in Japan. The crowds are amazing and there is so much audience participation. Definitely some of the best live shows I've ever been to. I recently saw them play back to back nights at Makuhari Messe, fucking amazing.
I been to two of there concerts man the atmosphere is amazing the fans are awesome u see kids from 3 years old to senior citizens attending these shows
This reaction....was me...9 months ago. Now im in Japan on vacation for 4 weeks, and attended not 1, but 2 Baby Metal concerts back to back On the same weekend (each night had totally different songs, no repeats) with an ocean of Japanese fans, and I’ve never had so much fun at any concert before in my life. The concerts are fucking wild. Some highlights from what I just experienced: imgur.com/a/1ZJBh8t End of concert: ua-cam.com/video/lcYs8iR1pCw/v-deo.html For future reacts: - best “crowd song” - Baby Metal - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan - best instrumental solos - Baby Metal - Rondo of Nightmare ( with mischiefs of God intro ) - best “did i join a cult?” Moment - Baby Metal - Death Legend 1997 Complete)
GIMME CHOCOLATE that's the BabyMetal song most start with. If you like Japaneses bands try the ALL female Band Maid : Play live, Real Existence, or Dice.
The 3 Stages of Babymetal reactions: 1st reaction: WTF was that?! 2nd reaction: Ok this isn't that bad. 3rd reaction: I need another damn Babymetal song to react to now!
Great react! You came across very well. If you think this is a show you need to watch Road of Resistance Live in Japan by Baby Metal. It is their epic masterpiece.
BABYMETAL, Kawaii Metal pioneers, is the biggest Asian metal band at this moment, originally from Japan, currently on their Metal Galaxy World Tour, promoting their latest album "Metal Galaxy " selling out Shows in Japan,USA and Europe and probably all the other countries their going to
@@ghifari77 I think it's the combination of, to say the least, doing something very different and doing it so well which means it could only be from Japan. :-)
Here are a couple of bands that I didn't see on your site that you may want to check out. Here are their German uncles...another band world renown for their live shows and spectacle. They are also much darker than the girls. I'd love to see the girls with their CO2 extinguishers take on Til and his flame thrower.This is Mein Teil in Brussels, This is a "normal" show for them. People have been known to pass out from heat exhaustion in the audience due to the amount of pyro used.This is an interesting song about a real life event, where a guy put an ad in the paper seeking someone to eat and the guy who responded to the request. Rammstein: ua-cam.com/video/stTn7X5VpR4/v-deo.html You mentioned that you like Asian culture. Here is a Japanese band that uses traditional Japanese instruments along side modern western instruments with a rock influence. You can hear the vocalist use her traditional singing techniques throughout the song.This is Senbonzakura.Wagaki Band: ua-cam.com/video/K_xTet06SUo/v-deo.html Sorry, one last one. This is the Hu Band from Mongolia. A great song about us and our past. Beautiful scenery.Traditional instruments and vocal technique.This is Yuve Yuve Yu.

Thanks for choosing to react to BABYMETAL, they're amazing! As someone who is new to the group, I thought I'd give you and your followers a little background on them. BABYMETAL is a Japanese Kawaii Metal group consisting of (for the most part) SU-METAL on lead vocals, YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL on backing vocals/dancing, or "SCREAM AND DANCE" as they like to call it. I say 'for the most part' as Yui & Moa have a few songs that they do as duets without Su and Su has a few songs she does as solos whilst Yui & Moa take a well deserved break. They were formed in 2010 as part of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, before touring on their own in 2011 and have gone from strength to strength. They started singing to backing tracks with actors in skeleton suits pretending to play instruments (known as BABYBONES) but soon incorporated the Kami Band into their concerts, bringing them in full time at the end of 2013. The Kami Band consists of some of Japan's premier musicians on rotation based on availability. The most popular configuration consisting of Takayoshi Ohmura and Mikio Fujioka on guitar with Leda Cygnus as stand-in, BOH on bass and Aoyama Hideki on drums. These are the people you will see most often in videos. Since the untimely passing of Mikio at the end of 2017 they have enlisted the talents of Isao Fujita on guitar. At the end of 2018 YUIMETAL left the band because of health problems and in 2019 there are 3 girls named AVENGERS that will take her place in a rotating manner. Below is a list of some of their best performances that I hope you will consider for future reactions. Should you decide to do more BABYMETAL reactions in the future, you should be aware that UA-cam will block almost all videos that incorporate audio. The best way round this is to mute the video and provide a link that we can open in a new window and sync with yours. Just give us a countdown before you start playing it. The BABYMETAL fandom is very used to this way of doing things. ===== BABYMETAL ALBUM BABYMETAL DEATH (Legend 1997) ua-cam.com/video/jRc9dbgiBPI/v-deo.html BABYMETAL DEATH Legend S drive.google.com/file/d/1YF06RceMufeKYBqN5OXRSgI8aEww-6Xu/view?usp=sharing Megitsune (Legend 2015) streamable.com/v7w18 Gimme Chocolate!!

You caught on to the key point of BabyMetal! The fans (known collectively as "The One") are as much a part of the show as the band. There is nothing like a live show. The mix of people, age, gender, race, any other term used to divide those of us who bleed red blood is mindbending. Especially when you see diverse people like metal bikers windmilling next to a 10 year old kid and everybody is having a great time.Have a nice trip with this. Look deeper into the foxhole. There is nothing to be afraid of...except having a stupid grin on your face all day.
You probably haven't seen Kiss live clips. Just put Kiss Live" then any time from 1974-1980 and you will see explosions and crazy makeup. They were like videos before MTV was made... maybe "Detroit Rock City" or "Parasite"...
Oh my friend, if you like live performances and showmanship, you've come to the right band. If you're curious to do more, then watch Road of Resistance: Live in Japan. You'll appreciate it 🦊
So glad they choose this and not Gimme Chocolate as your first intro to this very unique very talented band. Think your reaction would have been negative on Gimme Chocolate. With that said if you react to Karate or Road of Resistance next youll def become a fan. And about seeing it all..oh no, you haven't seen it all till you've seen...Ladybaby...
"the show itself... entertaining" ... and that is not even their "best" (if you want to call it that) live performance. Road of Resistance live in Japan just tops that (imo).
I look at this group is more of a novelty act than anything. I've got a backing band. And it should have like pop music on top of heavy metal. I know people are going to get mad. But you have to check out Band-Maid. A 5-piece woman's hard rock band from Japan as well. But these ladies play the all their own instruments. They are phenomenally talented. Start off with the official video for the song Thrill. I think it's one of the earliest works. Then anything live from them afterwards. You will not be disappointed. And they are fairly attractive as well !
Charles Velten this "novelty" has won 32 intentional awards to Band Maid's none. Baby Metal has been #1 on Billboard's Rock chart which Band Maid had yet to crack. Baby Metal has filled the 55,000 Tokyo Dome while the biggest audience to see Band Maid is 7,000. Baby Metal has hit #13 on the Billboard top 200 chart which Band Maid had yet to crack. And Baby Metal is sober at the end of their shows unlike Band Maid. There is no measurement where Band Maid is better. No in record sales, not in awards, not in audience size, not in record charts. No where
Stopping Power Some of their songs do have a vary anime sound too them. But not all, some of their other songs are more serious they don’t really have a specific sound.
You said it!!! That wtf moment when people first see Babymetal is one of my favourite things on UA-cam!!!😁

Not the normal version people do but this one is great too! They wear white which i've never seen in any other video. And it's lit.
They wear white because it signifies rebirth, as in: "the king is dead, long life the king".
Babymetal started as part of an other group, Sakura Gakuin and this is when they said: the old Babymetal doesn't exist anymore, we are now independent.
HAHAHA i had that exact face the first time I saw them. But now I cant get enough of them. RIP Mikio Fujikoa The world lost one of the MOST underrated GREATS!!!
LOL, You just watched as a Japanese Metal magazine publisher said "The most famous Japanese high school students in the World." At the time of this concert they were in their mid-teens. They are still the most popular/famous band from Japan and last year sold-out the LA Forum. The 3 girls have been performing professionally on stage/TV since about the age of 6 yo. The girls Band names are Su-Metal, Moa-Metal and Yui-Metal and at the time the group was formed they never heard Metal Music. They have been the opening act for; Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Lady Gaga. Rob Halford (Judas Priest) performed with them and in an interview named them "The Monster Ladies of Metal". DANGER DANGER you are about to fall into the Foxhole!!
Welcome to Babymetal, my man! If you decide to keep checking them out, you will experience many musical styles....with a metal backing. Looking forward to more reactions!
Your reaction is like the reaction of billyyousocrazy when he reacted first time to iine by BABYMETAL,Joey chrobak is the same person who ask to make a reaction video
Don't forget to check out BAND-MAID. Everything they do is awesome. They have a broad range of influences. Don't forget to check them out LIVE. That's when they're at their best. Something like 'Play!' LIVE. But speaking of Badass Drummers. Jimmy Page said Akane is the reincarnation of John Bonham. Not that they sound like Led Zepplin. But here's probably their heaviest tune, very Metal influenced. It's called 'Rin'en', which coincidentally means reincarnation. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/CQ9dbEVgZcA/v-deo.html
first time I heard Babymetal I was like "yeah that's cool, not for me though", now their songs get stuck in my head at the weirdest times
welcome to the fox hole :)
Narrator: "It was for him".
He started with this...straight to BABYMETAL Death song.
Great reaction and spot on about the performance. They have won awards for best live act . 23 days untll i see them again hyped already.
You have been descended upon by The One ( name given by BabyMetal) the fans with loads of info and recommendations.
There" Road of Resistance live in Japan " is a great experience. depending if you jump into the foxhole we will be waiting to watch your reaction. 🤘😁🤘

Well that's it, you're in the fox hole now buddy. There's no turning back. May as well just sit back and enjoy the ride.
🎶 Karate
🎶 Road of Resistance
🎶 Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God intro)
I LOVE watching people reacting to Babymetal for the first time! Good review and much respect for representing the Boys and Girls Club!
This is Japan! And this is why we love Japan! Shit is both weird and awesome all at the same time!
A word of caution my friend, the foxhole runs very deep. Should you continue on your journey take this bit of advice. Dont think. Feel.
It seems weird at first, but it gets better and better the more you listen to them. Three songs and there's no trning back. Most entertaining band ever!
They're Japanese bro. Very dope performances with lots of energy
You should try the "Headbangeeerrr" music video, it's LIT too!!
Bro people aren't going crazy! There straight fuckin NUTZ🤪 You would have been right at home in the 80's & 90's! But you know that!! I'm into Asian food! especially Thai! Much love dude!✌
Seeing Babymetal live is certainly a fun experience, especially seeing them play their home turf in Japan. The crowds are amazing and there is so much audience participation. Definitely some of the best live shows I've ever been to. I recently saw them play back to back nights at Makuhari Messe, fucking amazing.
I been to two of there concerts man the atmosphere is amazing the fans are awesome u see kids from 3 years old to senior citizens attending these shows
BabyMetal can change your life.
Headbanger is an unusual one to discover babymetal. Enjoy your journey if you decided to take it. A good set of headphones is a must.
If you're interested in the experience you should definitely watch Babymetal Death live, now that's a whole trip!! Best performance ever!
This reaction....was me...9 months ago.
Now im in Japan on vacation for 4 weeks, and attended not 1, but 2 Baby Metal concerts back to back On the same weekend (each night had totally different songs, no repeats) with an ocean of Japanese fans, and I’ve never had so much fun at any concert before in my life. The concerts are fucking wild.
Some highlights from what I just experienced:

見ていて楽しいリアクションでした。次のリアクション楽しみにしてます。I enjoyed so much. Please react another Baby Metal.
My favourite song of them is Megitsune.^^
Always more BabyMetal forever! :)
They are Japanese my dude after this you are not turning from this also welcome to the fox
greetings from japan 🇯🇵
GIMME CHOCOLATE that's the BabyMetal song most start with. If you like Japaneses bands try the ALL female Band Maid : Play live, Real Existence, or Dice.
RIP Mikio Fujioka aka guitarist for Babymetal❤🎸 1/19/1981 - 1/5/2018🤘🏻
Great reaction! Like Billy Preston says, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!"
Finally someone gets it.It's about the performance and experience not just a piece of music
The 3 Stages of Babymetal reactions:
1st reaction: WTF was that?!
2nd reaction: Ok this isn't that bad.
3rd reaction: I need another damn Babymetal song to react to now!
Great react! You came across very well. If you think this is a show you need to watch Road of Resistance Live in Japan by Baby Metal. It is their epic masterpiece.
This is the cutest, most brutal thing I've ever seen... 😲🤩🤘🎸😍🔥
BABYMETAL, Kawaii Metal pioneers, is the biggest Asian metal band at this moment, originally from Japan, currently on their Metal Galaxy World Tour, promoting their latest album "Metal Galaxy " selling out Shows in Japan,USA and Europe and probably all the other countries their going to
Dude I get ur confusion... 😂
Lmao, Japan Brodie, only Japan can create this. Had that same expression when I saw it the first time. Great request.
yeah, only Japan can create something as good as this
@@ghifari77 I think it's the combination of, to say the least, doing something very different and doing it so well which means it could only be from Japan. :-)
Here are a couple of bands that I didn't see on your site that you may want to check out. Here are their German uncles...another band world renown for their live shows and spectacle. They are also much darker than the girls. I'd love to see the girls with their CO2 extinguishers take on Til and his flame thrower.This is Mein Teil in Brussels, This is a "normal" show for them. People have been known to pass out from heat exhaustion in the audience due to the amount of pyro used.This is an interesting song about a real life event, where a guy put an ad in the paper seeking someone to eat and the guy who responded to the request. Rammstein: ua-cam.com/video/stTn7X5VpR4/v-deo.html You mentioned that you like Asian culture. Here is a Japanese band that uses traditional Japanese instruments along side modern western instruments with a rock influence. You can hear the vocalist use her traditional singing techniques throughout the song.This is Senbonzakura.Wagaki Band: ua-cam.com/video/K_xTet06SUo/v-deo.html Sorry, one last one. This is the Hu Band from Mongolia. A great song about us and our past. Beautiful scenery.Traditional instruments and vocal technique.This is Yuve Yuve Yu. (There should be subtitles on this) Hu Band: ua-cam.com/video/v4xZUr0BEfE/v-deo.html
HEDOBAN! HEDOBAN!
Japan , here the girls are only 14 to 16 yo
You should check out Road of Resistance live in Japan and PAPAYA 👍🙌💕
Awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
If you would like to continue the experience with Babymetal, try "Gimme Chocolate" before reacting to their other videos.. should blow your mind bro 👍
Thanks for choosing to react to BABYMETAL, they're amazing! As someone who is new to the group, I thought I'd give you and your followers a little background on them.
BABYMETAL is a Japanese Kawaii Metal group consisting of (for the most part) SU-METAL on lead vocals, YUIMETAL and MOAMETAL on backing vocals/dancing, or "SCREAM AND DANCE" as they like to call it. I say 'for the most part' as Yui & Moa have a few songs that they do as duets without Su and Su has a few songs she does as solos whilst Yui & Moa take a well deserved break.
They were formed in 2010 as part of the idol group Sakura Gakuin, before touring on their own in 2011 and have gone from strength to strength.
They started singing to backing tracks with actors in skeleton suits pretending to play instruments (known as BABYBONES) but soon incorporated the Kami Band into their concerts, bringing them in full time at the end of 2013. The Kami Band consists of some of Japan's premier musicians on rotation based on availability. The most popular configuration consisting of Takayoshi Ohmura and Mikio Fujioka on guitar with Leda Cygnus as stand-in, BOH on bass and Aoyama Hideki on drums. These are the people you will see most often in videos. Since the untimely passing of Mikio at the end of 2017 they have enlisted the talents of Isao Fujita on guitar. At the end of 2018 YUIMETAL left the band because of health problems and in 2019 there are 3 girls named AVENGERS that will take her place in a rotating manner.
Below is a list of some of their best performances that I hope you will consider for future reactions. Should you decide to do more BABYMETAL reactions in the future, you should be aware that UA-cam will block almost all videos that incorporate audio. The best way round this is to mute the video and provide a link that we can open in a new window and sync with yours. Just give us a countdown before you start playing it. The BABYMETAL fandom is very used to this way of doing things.

The love show was amazing. Sadly, I was one of the last shows after Yui left the band. Miss her.
They certainly put on a good show.
Please do more!!! 😭😭😭
Try BxMxC.
They mixed Metal with Hip-Hop.
Saw them live a couple years ago. great live show!
You caught on to the key point of BabyMetal! The fans (known collectively as "The One") are as much a part of the show as the band. There is nothing like a live show. The mix of people, age, gender, race, any other term used to divide those of us who bleed red blood is mindbending. Especially when you see diverse people like metal bikers windmilling next to a 10 year old kid and everybody is having a great time.Have a nice trip with this. Look deeper into the foxhole. There is nothing to be afraid of...except having a stupid grin on your face all day.
good Video,good reaction.
I like your exciting reaction.
Please Babymetal's reaction more and more.
I love Babymetal.
If you're going to Japan you should experience - Band Maid "Play" live!
This sir : "I love the asian cultures"
Also this sir: "I can't tell if they are talking japanese, korean or chinese"
Just cuz I love the cultures don’t mean I know every thing about them
You said there's pikachu... you should be know what country they're
Damn It JOEY!!!
Try BabyMetal death for the experience
You probably haven't seen Kiss live clips. Just put Kiss Live" then any time from 1974-1980 and you will see explosions and crazy makeup. They were like videos before MTV was made... maybe "Detroit Rock City" or "Parasite"...
Oh my friend, if you like live performances and showmanship, you've come to the right band. If you're curious to do more, then watch Road of Resistance: Live in Japan. You'll appreciate it 🦊
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad they choose this and not Gimme Chocolate as your first intro to this very unique very talented band. Think your reaction would have been negative on Gimme Chocolate. With that said if you react to Karate or Road of Resistance next youll def become a fan. And about seeing it all..oh no, you haven't seen it all till you've seen...Ladybaby...
You should really check out *Band Maid* Maybe start with Thrill. Then Take Me Higher, Play & Bubble
That would be Japan, home of the terrifying schoolgirl.
With phat asses 🤣
Yo, my dog, if you like Metal and Rap combination, react to Soulfly Bleed or Jumpdafuckup
Next react : baby metal - road of resistance & death live at japan .
Japanese
siempre lo mismo, comienzas escuchando a BABYMETAL así 1:30 y terminas así 6:55 XDDDDDD
How about some babymetal BxMxC？
If you should react to skynd. Every one of them. They are the best
react to gimme chocoletto kkkkkkkkkkkkk its babymetal btw
"the show itself... entertaining" ... and that is not even their "best" (if you want to call it that) live performance.
Road of Resistance live in Japan just tops that (imo).
LMAOOO
The whole "cute" scene in Japan is strange to me. Seems a little pervy to want all the women to act and dress like 12 year olds.
初期の頃の曲をリアクトしてもね
I look at this group is more of a novelty act than anything. I've got a backing band. And it should have like pop music on top of heavy metal. I know people are going to get mad. But you have to check out Band-Maid. A 5-piece woman's hard rock band from Japan as well. But these ladies play the all their own instruments. They are phenomenally talented. Start off with the official video for the song Thrill. I think it's one of the earliest works. Then anything live from them afterwards. You will not be disappointed. And they are fairly attractive as well !
Charles Velten this "novelty" has won 32 intentional awards to Band Maid's none. Baby Metal has been #1 on Billboard's Rock chart which Band Maid had yet to crack. Baby Metal has filled the 55,000 Tokyo Dome while the biggest audience to see Band Maid is 7,000. Baby Metal has hit #13 on the Billboard top 200 chart which Band Maid had yet to crack. And Baby Metal is sober at the end of their shows unlike Band Maid. There is no measurement where Band Maid is better. No in record sales, not in awards, not in audience size, not in record charts. No where
you wanna know what this is? terrible that's what it is
Aww, what are you gonna do? Cry? Piss your pants?
Super duper gay
Weeaboo metal.
Stopping Power Some of their songs do have a vary anime sound too them. But not all, some of their other songs are more serious they don’t really have a specific sound.
Honestly, this got me into metal. Didnt listen to any at all before that. Now it's all I listen to most of the time.
nah, not everyone who loves babymetal love japanese culture. it's not weaboo, it's babymetalboo
