While Su was wowing the crowd with her vocals, Yui and Moa were downstairs doing their homework
japanese schools no joke lol. gotta get some maths in.
What, really? Or was it a joke?
@@sailorcat it's true
@@alamtarokainkavan4524 Wow, haha xD
@@sailorcat yep very true
Great reaction and really interesting analysis. The Kami Band here were Leda Cygnus (blue guitar), Takayoshi Ohmura (gold guitar), BOH (6 string bass) and Hideki Aoyama (drums).
The 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods' intro is only played live since the Kami Band are just the live band. On the album 'Rondo of Nightmare' is a stand-alone song without the intro.
On the studio recordings we only know for certain of Leda of the Kami Band being involved in some songs (he wrote the arrangements for another Su solo 'No Rain, No Rainbow' and he played bass and possibly guitar for 'Arkadia' ... there may be more I don't know of).
If you want to practice your time signature peception with a Babymetal song, "Tales of the Destinies".
jlmso11568 agree
Good luck with that.
Oh, so mean :D
heck yeah, please do
Ah yeah, this one would be perfect
⚡ / 🔥 😱 🔥
That was great. I love the breakdown.
This performance is my standard answer to anyone who says that BABYMETAL aren't really metal. : )
Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) has a penetrating clarity to her voice that makes it perfect for heavy music.
Without having to boost her volume she can still be heard through the drums, bass and guitars.
This song had it's world premiere the previous night. Su was just sixteen during this performance.
Absolutely! Was so much fun to do this one. Thanks for supporting!
I see you copy/pasting this text everywhere.
@@nevmiku Only for reactions to this specific song, and it's always true. : )
@@rickwagner- Brooo where's your wall of text comment?
I love this performance. A stunning demonstration of all the individual parts of the band topped by a masterful solo performance by Suzuka.
A little explanation as to where the other 2 girls are at. Su-metal has a total of 4 solo songs, 2 featured in each of the first 2 albums. And the other girls, Moametal and Yuimetal, collectively called Black Babymetal as a subunit of Babymetal, have 4 duet songs. Also, 2 in each of the first 2 albums. Black Babymetal songs are usually more harder and aggressive metal. During their earlier concerts, Su would perform 2 solos and Black Babymetal would perform 2 songs. Also, the Kami band would also perform 2 solo intros. Besides the "Mishief of Metal Gods ", the Kami band would also perform an instrumental intro to Catch Me If You Can, and more recently to YAVA! also. The Kami band also wrote an instrumental of their own written by Takayoshi Ohmura and Mikio Fujioka (who passed away in early 2018) called Hill of Wysteria. If you like the Kami band guitar work, then check this video out.

Thank you for this. Actually makes sense form a live show point of view. Appreciate the comment.
By far my favorite reaction and breakdown of this song.
Appreciate that!!!
"Where are the other girls?" - In every concert there are songs where Su sings solo so the other two girls can take a break and there are songs where the other two girls sing and Su takes a break such as with GJ!
Another great react full of very informative insight. As for pre-recorded bits, almost no one sings live without it these days and the labels are always tinkering with official videos that go out.
I do hope you will continue to react/review Baby Metal. No two songs are alike. They like to experiment. Some of the stuff they have done:
1. Performed Pain Killer and Breaking the Law with Rob Halford of Judas Priest (the two side girls Yui and Moa played the guitar in Breaking the Law)
2. Performed Breaking the Law with Chad Smith from The Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Performed Road Of Resistance with Dragon Force
4. Performed one of their songs Gimme Chocolate with Skrillex
5. Sabaton from Joakim Broden joined them on their song Oh Majinai
6. Alisswa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy and Thai rapper F. Hero joined them on songs on their recent album
7. One of the members of Korn snuck on stage to play with them.
Can't wait for your next react. Would like to suggest Legend of 1997 Head Banger.
And Marty Friedman is an OG fan of theirs, so much that their guitarist was his lead guitarist. Here is the video with him and Takayoshi Ohmura (babymetal guitarist) sick guitar battle ua-cam.com/video/yNhN8f7lop4/v-deo.html
thank you for saying "one of the members of korn" it's very common that people say "they played with korn" and no, just one member from korn, they think that other dude was a member from Korn too but he isn't.
Sadly only in concerts up to 2018. From 2019 there are no more Black Babymetal songs to give SU a rest, so the concerts are a little bit shorter now

The Korn/baby metal concert was amazing I was there for it. There is even a small clip with him as he gets his makeup done.
Such a deep analysis. Thank you for it, really enjoyed from the beginning to the end
Awesome. Glad you enjoyed!
probably the best reaction i've seen so far for babymetal ,keep up the good works !
REALLY??? That's really kind of you.
@@ChaseCarneson yeah ,cant wait to see more babymetal on Ur Channel soon !
On Su's voice in that interlude, it isn't an effect at all. I just watched a singer explain it. Go back and look at the mic, the angle and placement, it's on her nose, it's picking up sound through her nose. Pretty cool. What a talent.
Yup, that effect is probably one of the coolest things I've seen out of a vocalist in a long time and most people don't get it. The camera-work doesn't help; it's too far away to tell that she's pressing the mic to her nose to get that sound.
are you sure? cause when you listen to the studio version they sound identical.
@@seouIsonyosound Yeah cause she does the same effect on the studio version. Duh. It's their hallmark; other than vocal stress because they are live, they are pretty consistent in their sound and they rarely deviate from the studio sound formula. And I am sure.
nah, it's playback just for that radio-like part.
@@zweiu there is an audio out there that has the direct signal from her inear. It's both. She sings and there is an effect over her singing
I like your reactions very much. I'm not a musician and English is not my mother tongue, so I don't understand all the technical things you say, but it's obvious that you explain really well, and because of that, I have a new look at these songs that I like so much., thanks a lot, Chase
Thank you so much for the kind words and support, Lopez!
The part where you say there's an effect added to her voice, everyone thinks that, I did too at first until another singer in a reaction pointed out that she has the mic pressed to her nose to mimic the lo-fi effect without her having to try and alter her voice at all as she sings, and then when she brings the mic away she's back to her piercing clearness.
No, it's recorded. On the live album you can hear her draw a breath while the effect vocals are still fading.
There's also a vid up from Andy that has Su's earpiece audio..its clearly backtrack.
@@saundrawilliams8037 Disagree . . This performance in the earpiece differs slightly from the studio track . . then there is actually is a slightly flat note in the chorus coming off the effect. That would indicate she does not use auto-tune (at least not here) .. Su is not often off pitch, but it happens (even to a goddess . . lol) . . but you really have to go looking for them. Here is Su's in ear mix. .
ua-cam.com/video/nDao9r5knqc/v-deo.html .
. .If she was using the backing track, why would it not be in her mix?
@@shawnfuton6746 That could happen if the vocal has a delay effect on it . .as this clearly does. I guess OTFGK! (Only the fox god knows). . .
@@CHRISCONTEPSS I've listened to it again and still feel that there's a distinct difference between the sounds of each part, especially after she comes back in after with Yura yura. I'm not a sound technician or professional, so I could definitely be wrong...but as a singer, I just don't think its plausible (especially with the way she's got her head tilted). And again, it just sounds too clean. I know Su has the pipes and skills to sing the part and do it better live than not, but in this situation (and with hearing the ear audio)...still sounds like backtrack to me.
I love your breakdown critiques. Most of us BM Fans jump from one reaction to another. Your's provides musical technicalities l've never heard. Please do more! Subscribed!
Muuuuch more coming so don't worry about that.
@@ChaseCarneson You MUST do Tales Of The Destinies
The same :)
Moa and Yui are just resting. They will have just spent a while intensively dancing. When they did Black Baby Metal that gave Su a chance to rest up, as did the Kami Band’s intro.
"Mischiefs of Metal Gods" (as is the correct title) is the intro by the Kami Band :) It is only played live and not part of a studio album.
"Rondo of Nightmare" is one of Su-metal's solo songs, that's why Moametal and Yuimetal are not on stage.
Kami means God/spirit/ghost, they were burial garments.
So it's the mischief of the band :-)
I really appreciate all the technical aspects you are pointing out in your reaction videos and that you are picking up on all the little details. Keep up the great work, you're quickly becoming one of my favourites to watch.
If you'd like to see another Su-metal "solo" performance, you should check out Akatsuki:
ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html.
Or, if you feel like seeing a Black Babymetal performance (which is the other two girls without Su), maybe Onedari Daisakusen would be a fun one:
ua-cam.com/video/VQ9qBj_KqR8/v-deo.html
Either way, great job mate.
So far one of my favorite BM reaction videos! Your facial expression after ever Kami solo says it all. Su is 100% singing live but they do sometimes layer effects over her. One thing you might not know is that the kami's solo is actually a ritual to summon Su 😀😀😀
That's pretty cool!!!
Excellent! Really enjoy your analysis and comments. When you know meaning of the lyrics it becomes even better. Keep them coming!
I always go back and look into the lyrics and enjoy the song a bit more after. Thanks for the support.
Su is a soprano with a C4 to G#5 and practices her breath control endlessly so she can sing and dance too.
Very much enjoyed your technical take on this. Great reaction and looking forward to more from you 🤘🦊🦊🦊🤘
Much more coming. Thanks for the support.
Power indeed! Really liked your reactionvidd, nice and calm demeanor👌🤘
Finally an intelligent reviewer!
I do my very best 🙏
Cool that are you diving into some more technical stuff. I love Takayoshi Ohmura, the second guitarist. He does not only have incredible technical abilities (you‘ll have to check out his picking technique at some point), but also a great feeling for tone and melody. I like how he moves his leg along with his bending right at the beginning of his solo part, it shows that he really feels it. And I love his looks as well, he is both handsome and badass looking in his facepaint (saying this a heterosexual male).
I‘m pretty sure the vocals in that quiet middle part are prerecorded, as are the piano and synth sounds. Personally, I‘d prefer her doing it live, even if it might sound less perfect.
One thing that really struck me only after dozens of times of hearing the song is the insane rhythmical correlation of the vocals and the piano during the beginning of the second verse (starting at 10:56 in your video). I‘m sure that must be hard to do for Su. BTW, there have been leaks of what seems to be her ear monitor tracks, they feature a voice that counts her in when there are rhythmical changes etc coming up. Pretty interesting to me (no idea if that’s a common thing when playing to a click track).
The song is their darkest one lyrically, it’s about a person being trapped in a nightmare. They feel something coming towards them through the darkness and try to hide, but in the end (during that quieter part mentioned above) they give up and ask the mysterious presence to at least reveal itself once before the end.
It may be my favourite song. The melody is dark but hauntingly beautiful, and the music supports the atmosphere perfectly, as do Su‘s emotional vocals. I can feel the desperation in her voice at the end. Needless to say that everyone else’s performance is pretty flawless as well. Fantastic song!
BABYMETAL have a few Su solo songs and a few that feature only the other two girls on vocals, they call the latter „Black BABYMETAL“ (at least until Yui‘s departure). This allowed them to get a breather at some points during the shows. Perhaps it’s the reason why their shows seem to have gotten shorter since Black BABYMETAL is no more.
Takayoshi Ohmura (gold guitar) said this song is most difficult among Baby Metal songs play with. He thinks Sue metal(singer) is seriously genius singer, because she sings perfect even such difficult song.
THIS shows Su at her best. with a gothic rock opera style/ Wow! no one around like her. a unique talent.
Excelente! The Best song by BabyMetal! ...and She is singing on a platform 10 foot high!
Cool huh?
Catch me if you can is one that really shows off the chemistry of the girls.
Since they originally come from the Idol scene, there is a lot of prerecordings going on with the two other girls. Su herself sings live as far as I know (maybe not in some really old videos). Su is amazingly talented, but remember she is very young in a lot of these videos. Now that she is a bit older her voice grew and now the talent and hard work is coming through more and more.
I personally like it more when she sings alone, but thats up to tase I guess.
You can see more of her vocal prowess in No Rain No Rainbow which I absolutely recommend.
Also PaPaYa is more recent and very interesting (and WILD). PaPaYa actually was my personal introduction to them.
I am fairly new to Babymetal myself, so if I say anything wrong here I hope someone corrects me
EDIT: I personally dislike the live videos in the UK where they are very young, the audio is kind of shitty and Su's voice is better now than it was in 2014(?). I always try to find recordings of more recent shows.
I don't agree with this at all. Su could always sing. She's no more less live now than she ever was. She was always 95% live. What does the UK have to do with it? I think you need to watch this.

@@Jordan-Ramses Su had more backing track in case she was out of breath or something in the past.
Are you talking about ijime dame zettai live at sonisphere 2014 ? C'mon, she nailed that song there !
The only shitty audio is Glastonbury and it was 2019.
@@autohmae - Ahh, you're probably right about that. I didn't think about backing track. But she did a lot more dancing back then. It wasn't an issue of ability. If she ever sounded bad it was on the album tracks. Not live.
Sure she sounds better now. But it's pretty much what i would expect from how she sounded at a very young age. She always was a great singer for her age. A lot of her improvement has simply been her vocal chords maturing.
@@Jordan-Ramses I would say she has improved her breath control a lot in all that time.

I think yes.
You have to let him know that DEATH is more performance art as there is no song and no singing.
dono mybe not yet :D
Finally, thank you🤘🤘🦊🦊🙏
Thank you for being patient and supporting!
nice. really like the way you analyze the technical stuff & pay attention to the details. not many's do that now days. so, thank you.
basically "Mischief of Metal Gods Intro" is a ritual performed by the god of guitar, bass & drum to summoned the Metal Queen Su-Metal. bcoz in this song hers human soul been trap in the repeated nightmare.
The Kami Band in this show are :
- Leda Cygnus (1st guitar solo)
in the past usually play with 6 string (like on this video), but now used 8 string.
- Takayoshi Ohmura (2nd guitar solo)
always play with 7 string. last year during the show "BM Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan", both him & Leda was play using 9 string guitar.
- B.O.H (6 string bass)
- Hideki Aoyama (drum). his brother & father also drummer. his father (the legend Jun Aoyama) is consider as one's of the best drummer. no wonder why he's like "The Human Metronome",.. LoL
the others two member (YuiMetal & MoaMetal) was resting backstage eating tomatoes & hamburger. and they performed duet as "Black.BabyMetal".
Thank you for the support and such an awesome detailed comment. Appreciate it.
Another Sumetal solo song you'd enjoy is Akatsuki. It's a brilliant display of her singing as well as the Kami bands abilities

Great reaction, Chase, thank you! Babymetal uses backing tracks in many of their songs for keyboards (both piano and synths), percussion, growls and sometimes even for the 3rd guitar. Also there are some pre-recorded voice harmonies, screams and in this case the effect-overlayed vocals. But from what I've seen (and what I like a lot) Su never tries to trick you with that, she may pretend she's screaming/singing just for the show but then she usually takes away her mic or stops lip-syncing (like in this performance) before the pre-recorded sound actually ends. And still she may scream for real in some other song.
Regarding your further Babymetal reactions I have a small list of suggestions:
_Headbanger_ (Live 'Legend 1997' 2013): ua-cam.com/video/QEsOaMbNFww/v-deo.html
_Ijime, Dame, Zettai_ (Live at Sonisphere Festival 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
_Akatsuki_ (another Su's solo song, Live at Budokan 2014): ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
_Kimi to Anime ga Mitai_ (Kiba of Akiba cover, Budokan 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Tl1URUWFsO4/v-deo.html
These are quite old performances but UA-cam tends to block their newer live videos. And best Babymetal is live Babymetal, not only for the show but sound wise also.
Thank you for watching and supporting. Nice insight here.
Chase Carneson My pleasure! The amount and quality of analysis that you provide put your reactions to a rarely found level. Keep up the great work!
That version of Kimi to Anime go Mitai is a little pearl, I love it, all the girls did incredibly well in that song, both with the singing and dancing parts.
This is the best reaction I've ever watched, very detailed. can't wait for the next reaction, good job.
Really appreciate that. Thanks for the support.
YES! I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for another great reaction/analysis! Babymetal is an absolutely excellent band! I think some people take what they're doing as a gimmick, which is a real shame, because there is so much real talent there. Other musicians have collaborated with Babymetal, and they've always commented on how professional they are. I would recommend you check out more Babymetal. I'd really like to see "Headbanger" (Live Legends 1997) and "Catch Me If You Can". Those are really good starting points, though it's easy to give a huge list (so much of their catalog is fantastic)! It would also be interesting to see what you think of "Pa Pa Ya", "Distortion", "BxMxC", and "line!" because each one is absolutely unique.
Best reaction and deep analize of performance, i would you suggest "Tales Of The Destinies" its another prog metal that i love, they are very similar to Dream Theater in there
Oh nice one. Thanks for the support and comment.
I really like her solo songs, they aren't as heavily choerographed and the songs give off different emotions than the rest, being more dark or sad while the songs with all three are usually happier. On the first two albums at least. Third didn't bless us with any solo performances but there's quite a few more serious songs still.
The closest we got on Metal Galaxy was 'Kagerou', which used to be a solo song. : )
I remember Yui and Moa mentioning on one of the MV commentary tracks that Su improvs a lot of her solo choreo, and that they both really enjoyed seeing her moves.
@@0okamino And of course their choreographer Mikiko has gone on at length about what a special dancer Su is.
"She doesn’t memorize choreography by counting the beat. Instead, she memorizes choreography by hearing the music. In general, people learn choreography by counting rhythms but she doesn’t. She’s got this groove in her body, like nothing I’ve seen before. And this groove comes from her intuition."
hello from Japan !!! 😊
You understand Su is great,😊
Su is so big singer her voice is so wide and ddy in heart,💘
many people crying. hear Su voice,
(I DZ, NR NR, etc.…)
I love the "technical" approach you have, especially for the guitarists! Thanks for that little retrospective. Definitely gonna subscribe.
What or who you didn't see in that performance was Mikio Fujioka (R.I.P.). He was known as a guitar virtuoso. He regularly switched with Leda Cygnus, die guy who had the first solo. He was technically one of the best ones you'll see anywhere in my opinion.
You should also watch Akatsuki (ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html), there's super awesome musical and vocal stuff in the live versions. Amore is also pretty awesome vocally and musically, but there's no live version up on UA-cam as far as I know. Only compilations. The same can be said with Tales of the Destinies. I saw in other comments that your Road of Resistance video got taken down, that's always my first recommendation. No Rain, No Rainbow is pretty cool, that's probably the slowest Babymetal song (ua-cam.com/video/pDgqo6fcliY/v-deo.html). If you want to delve more into the black metal/death metal part of Babymetal you should listen to Sis.Anger (ua-cam.com/video/BZLZcoWZKN0/v-deo.html), which is by Yuimetal and Moametal, without Su. It's probably the hardest song if you exclude Babymetal Death, which was mostly used as the intro song, because of the similarities in Japanese pronounciations of death and desu. And then there's The One (ua-cam.com/video/TZRvO0S-TLU/v-deo.html) which is their anthem to their fans. But it's in English and I think that because she didn't speak the language very well at that time she can't really make use of her complete repertoir because she's not 100% comfortable with it. But the show to the song is always the awesomest. From the new album I would suggest Starlight, which is a tribute song to the aforementioned guitarist who died in an accident, but there's also only fancams and studio version on UA-cam, because it's so new and they want to sell BluRays and DVDs.
To your "she got some power" comment: When the management "hired" the Kami Band they asked the Producer if they should play a little quieter for her. And the producer simply said "give it all you got". Apparently the band was pretty impressed by little 14 year old Suzuka when they heard her perform with them, because she effortlessy sang over them.
To the question of the recording: that was recorded. She "skips" these melodic parts often (sorry, don't know the real term). The parts where her voice is altered or the part in Gimme Chocolate with the "Too, too late, too too late, P, P, come one!". Don't know why they do it, probably to have the song as much on the album version as possible? She could easily sing these parts live.
Thank you so much for the support and awesome insight here. Appreciate it
Su solo.. Waiting for her solo career.
Its gonna happen babymetal fans. Sorry. She has a beautiful voice. She's a teenager here. She's gotten even more powerful and polished.
Saw them twice and her voice is amazing live.
Not only amazing, but sublime. Something about her voice transcends excellent technical or ultra powerful singing, something pure and fearless that connects her emotion to your heart....dunno even know how to describe, but all the fans are here because Su is just so special and made this thing work.
That middle part, I believe that is a live vocal with an effect. I watched a differetn concert the other day, and the effect wasn't as well timed and held over a bit when she picked up the melody again. She has some amazing things she can do with her voice - should check out From Dusk to Dawn. She was only 16 here, her phrasing always impresses me.
This is a sumetal solo, she has a couple songs solo, the other girls have also songs for them selves.
great reaction! too bad your road of resistance video got taken down. would be great if you do a reaction to the song Ijime,Dame,Zettai - Live at Sonisphere 2014 next.
Will look at cutting it up so that it stays up.
Yeess
@@ChaseCarneson can you upload it somewhere else too? might be less of a hastle
Loved you insightful comments. Subscribed. I would actually love to hear your analysis of Tales of the Destinies, as it is very proggy, but maybe Ijime Dame Zettai is a better suggestion as it was the moment most of the metal community seemed to accept Babymetal and realised the talent behind the band and that they were here to stay. That one performance was a huge turning point for Babymetal.
Nice one, Willem. Thanks for the support. I'll add it to the list for sure.
On the radio effect and your Q (13:13).. another reactor answered this by catching what most of us did not see right away or perhaps just too ignorant to tell. Su placed the mic right up her nosetrils, cup her singing hand around - very must like you demonstrated - as if singing through a tube. And voila! the mono effect with many of the frequencies is "filtered" thus resulting to that harrowing, mesmerizing voice variation.
SU apparently produced that all by herself.
SUpercool ehh?
I'm pretty sure the part where she sings quietly is a recording. Su just does a very good job at pretending to sing that part but it's not sung live. Generally speaking when BABYMETAL use lipsync they do not try to hide it. They want you and the audience to know it's playback. On the montage of this video they did a good job leaving you wondering wether this is live or not.
Loved your reaction by the way Chase and already excited for the next BM :). The two girls are having a break while Su is on one of her solo songs. The two girls have their own duets where Su takes her own breaks and prepare for her own solos. It's a way to get a breather for the girls who are dancing and performing for up to 1 hour and a half. The part where Yui & Moa play their duets songs is called "Black BABYMETAL".
BBM songs : Song 4, Onedari Daisakusen, GJ! and Sis Anger
Su solo songs : Rondo of Nightmare, Akatsuki, Amore, No Rain No Rainbow
Wrong, but that's okay. She is perfectly able to sing it without imperfections. A simple mic effect is all that is needed. If you don't think Su is capable of reproducing this like she does with everything else she does, in many times a pure copy of what she has done before sorry to hear that. She can do a lot with her voice, always have she does it live with BxMxC throwing her voice to give an autotune effect like in the studio version.
@@jason7120 If you have ever watched the other night of this Budokan concert on the DVD you can clearly see that it's not live. I do believe she can pull off many great things, including this, live, especially if there is/was a voice effect timed for this moment. I'm not a BABYMETAL amateur at this point. But I do believe this bit is pre-recorded. It probably doesnt STRICLY HAVE to be, but it probably is. I'll be glad if you manage to prove to me that this is sung live. I see all reasons to believe it is not. As much as I love Su and as much as I know what she's capable of, that doesn't mean BM is flawless. Su is human unlike the lore says and she does have voice cracks here and there as any artist would. Just go have a listen to the Tokyo Dome Tales of the Destinies, the first time around when she has to go very high on the "destinies" part, her voice cracks hard. On the Bluray, in postproduction they obviously tampered with it.
All I'm saying is, I don't know if this is sung live 100% but if I had to bet my life on it, I would definetly go the backtrack route.
@@jason7120 I am a big BM fan, but I agree with dem0n that that portion of the song is recording. I have noticed upon many listens that they tend to use recordings whenever there are parts of songs with big effects on it. Examples being this song, parts of Gimme Chocolate during the part they pretend to play the flute (or something like that), and in the time they played From Dusk Till Dawn.
Suu actually stops lip syncing that verse early to get set up for the chorus to come back in. Can be seen more clearly from the original video.
Yes, it's pre recorded, like MOA's rap on Da Da Dance (she sings the chorus) indeed they don't pretend it's not, it's made pretty obvious and you can tell the difference. I think the only song where they use effects on the mic is Distortion, so far. She definitely sings Shanti without any added effect, which is amazing.
In BxMxC the very high notes at the beginning are played on instruments, later in the song, she is the one singing them, again you can tell the difference, part of the chorus is pre recorded too. Unfortunately after the departure of YUI, MOA alone can do so much, indeed she choose to focus on her great dancing skills and while she still sings her parts especially in the older songs, SU has to rely on pre recorded tracks for background chorus here and there in the new stuff, BxMxC included. I think they still use some tracks with YUI's voice as a layer in KARATE.
i like their live videos much more as her voice is "deeper" as in the music videos, it sounds jut better for me xD maybe also because sumetal is just such an amazing singer, nothing against band maiden bud their studio songs sounds much better then their live concerts
In the older shows, with the original 3. Their sets included solo songs from Su, and duo songs from Yui and Moa (aka Black Babymetal). Powerful solo ballads from Su, and fun crowd hyping songs from Black Babymetal (see 4 no uta and GJ!). But with Yui gone (or the fact the girls are women now)... you rarely have those anymore.
A hauntingly beautiful heavy metal waltz.
If you want to see some time signature fun, check out Tales of the Destinies, BABYMETAL's homage to Dream Theater's Dance of Eternity, which has 108 time signature changes. ToTD one ups DT by adding overlapping time signatures, vocals, and dance. Would be particularly fun to do them back to back to compare, but would be a long video.
Oh and yes that was Su singing that haunting little solo melody and not a recording. There may well be some effects on her voice at that moment but it is also a singing technique that you find a lot in Japanese music where the sound is pitched high in the nasal cavity as opposed to from being driven from the chest as it were. After the guitars and drums had the chance to show off their chops this is the singer showing off her own skill range.
love your reactions, i like your enthusiasm of the music and song structure, babymetal astounded me when i first saw them and you have lots more to come. Id really like to see your take on muse or early genesis.
That was a great react. Honestly LOVED how shocked you looked after each solo, but the best part was how much you broke down each aspect of the show. Lots of information given that someone like myself, a non-musician), really appreciates. I can hear that they're great and what they're doing is impressive but I couldn't tell you in a million years why. Lol gonna stop rambling, loved the vid
I love your reaction and analysis!
I'm leaving a sub!
Appreciate that Ricardo.
@@ChaseCarneson
The way she came out of it seems she mimed timed it perfect, sang along (doubt it) or sang it- with her loud high voice very possible.
What an analysis! Definitely subbing. I recommend Road of resistance live in Japan. It’s a collaboration between Babymetal and Dragonforce’s guitarists
Thank you so much for the support. I actually had ROR up but it got taken down. I'll look at re-uploading
really digging your channel. Your knowledge of music and actually giving feedback about the song puts you above so many reactors. Babymetal is incredible. I have 3 suggestions for your next song, sis anger for a yui and moa duet, megitsune for all the girls, or akatsuki live for more solo su greatness. keep the videos coming.
Awesome. Thanks for the support and reccomendations, will take a look at those.
12:56 you know that effect on her voice, that part is when she is in the well after being chased by something in her dream. Because she was chased she didn't have the energy to run anymore and hid in the well. So the effect on her voice is the sound she makes because of being in the well :-)
Different Chase then current Chase. How the mighty have risen
We're evolving!!!
Welcome to the BABYMETAL WORLD and that's our Queen SU try road of resistance live
I had it up but it got taken down.
@@ChaseCarneson If you want to get really amaze by the musicians, try Tales of Destiny, i think Dragonforce help them out with that song, its really awesome and will keep you thinking " How the hell did they pull it off" and thanks for the reply.
@@rexabuyo6733 DragonForce (Herman Li and Sam Totman) did the guitar arrangements for RoR. Tales of the Destinies is more in the style of Dream Theater - but they had nothing to do with it themselves.
Interesting tidbit I found from another reactor to this song, at minute 12:19 of your reaction when she goes into that singing in a tube kind of sound, she is actually achieving that effect by pressing the mic against her nose!
I'm sure the guy in the sound console does turn down the EQ because you can hear how it hits when she resumes normal singing. I thought you might find this interesting. My wife says hi (she is also from SA).
Excellent reaction and analysis, keep up the Babymetal. If you haven't done Akatsuki definitely give that a go, (live of course) it's another Su solo. Alternatively if you're looking for something SUPER complex, have a go at 'Tales of the Destinies' there's a live version at Tokyo Dome (crowd of 55k) or even the recorded version works too.
I love the concept of the band. The musiciands are amongst the best I've heard lately, specially the bass player. I get that being "Baby Metal", the vocalist would have the traditional nasal high pitched voice so popular in pop or tradicional Japanese music. But it IS the vocals that kill it all to me. It's like having Nightwish musicians playing and instead of Floor, Britney Spears is in the vocals.
Well. The bands are Gods. Hell, it's in thier name. They're call Kami Band, literally translated to God Band in Japanese. You need to check out more Babymetal
Great song choice. I'm glad you went with one that showed off the band, as well. This is one of Su's solo songs. The other two girls have a few songs without Su, as well -- Sis Anger and Onedari Daisakusen come to mind.
you didnt notice he is playing a 7 string .. great reaction!
Su is singing in the soft nasal bit. She places the mic against her nose and sings into the mic off-axis using it's polar response to get the effect. Here is her ear monitor for the song and you can plainly see the technique. I also assume the sound engineer is actively involved.

I'm not sure of this but I read somewhere that in the part where Su sings the bit before that last chorus, she had the mic pushed up against the side of her nose (you can see that in the video) and she was actually singing. And that it gave the kinda lo-fi sound. Nasal resonance they said.
Gotta love Su's solo songs. They seem more mature than many of the other songs. Yui and Moa also have a few songs without Su. They're more child like but totally rocks. This makes their repertoar very dynamic and I love that about them. No songs are the same.
These drums, man. Come on, it's just sick. Hideki Aoyama must be running a marathon every single time he's behind the drums.
Check out “Tales of the Destinies”. It’s basically a BabyMetal tribute to Dream Theater. Too many time changes to count, outstanding musicianship.
There are so many reaction videos out there on Babymetal songs, but yours is certainly one of the more rewarding ones. Some have a hard time getting past the whole kawaii metal thing, but experienced musicians quickly recognize the skills on display here, and you articulate the technical aspects very well. Very informative!
You mention in passing that you appreciate prog metal for its use of tempo changes, right? Then you should absolutely give Tales of the Destinies a listen! It can be a bit challenging the first time you hear it, but you seem like just the right person to get what they are doing. Several of Babymetal's songs are sort of homages to various genres or bands, and that one is clearly dedicated to Dream Theater. It's an exercise in technical mastery, and a small miracle that they actually manage to pull it off live as well!
When you say that this is the best vocal performance you have heard from Suzuka, I'm glad to inform you that this is far from her most impressive stuff. While many praise her free, powerful and flexible voice, her great range and clear diction (which is so excellent she often gets accused of lip-synching), I think she stands out more because of her versatility. There's a lot of basic J-Pop singing, of course, but her enka singing is remarkable, and the carnatic singing in Shanti Shanti Shanti really surprised me:
ua-cam.com/video/gQnG_T7kbtY/v-deo.html
Same thing with the pitch shifting rap in BxMxC. It's done digitally on the album (and sounds awful), but she does it herself for the live performances (and this during a 90 minute show that would probably exhaust your average marathon runner):
ua-cam.com/video/wCDFzmrDYKw/v-deo.html
And the very energetic and lengthy performances is also the reason why Rondo of Nightmare is a solo piece. There are a few songs throughout each set list where either Su or the other two girls get to catch their breath a little :-)
She was singing through her nose, its a technique not many know about.
Road of Resistance (live in Japan) is probably their best live performance ever.
Yeah was amazing. I had a reaction to it but it got taken down unfortunately.
yes it is moving stage.
The melodic part was a recording (if you heard the studio version its very clear)... I watched the whole video lol you are very interesting and your comments are very on point IMO...
Its one of sumetals solos so the other girls can rest during the shows... There's also songs without su where yui and moa sings theirs...
Enjoyed as always can't wait for more... BABYMETAL concerts are also a kind of a show you can see that in more their early like headbanger in legend 1997 show or BABYMETAL Death legend 1997 (the name of the show is after the year sumetal was born) take care mate ;)
Hey Chase, please re-upload your Road of Resistance reaction somewhere. I missed your video before it got blocked :(
I know there are others who want to see this too, cause you are a realy cool dude. =)
Haha thank you for that. I think I am going to have to edit it quite heavily to get it to stay up so let me look into it.
@@ChaseCarneson Have you looked into "reactors hub" - you can upload the whole video there.
@@ChaseCarneson Just upload to vimeo, dailymotion or somewhere else. Make a new video on YT in which you tell us that you uploaded it somewhere else because it got blocked on YT and mb a few words about you. If people like and wanna support you they watch the video on YT till the end. So you dont get bad numbers for your channel-algorhythm.
Other channels done this too. RoR Live in Japan was a save source but gots blocked since Coronavirus, probably because more Bots are doing the copyright stuf.
The look on your face when Boh started his bass solo was priceless
Still stuck that way.
She can do that
I love your deeply analytical reaction.
We are babymetal.
I love your format of reaction video, where you go in-depth on techniques and using your (obviously extensive) knowledge to explain the music we all love.
Thank you. Glad you're enjoying and appreciate the support.
for everyone wondering about the time signature. there is a version on youtube of this which is her in ear that counts the beat for her. just type in the name and "in ear"
With your expertise you definitely have to do "Tales of Destinies" by them
Sounds like I have to give it a look.
Always. Always listen "Tales of Destinies" followed by "The One". They are practically perfectly sewed together.
@@HenryDjunaediOnline, indeed they were originally part of the same song separated during the development in the studio.
Yes u must
"Tales of the Destinies"
Looking for a BABYMETAL Ballard?.. No Rain No Rainbow is perfect.
13:15 she is singing wit mic put in front of nose so there is a slight effect with the voice
About the radio effect, someone posted a video where we can hear what's going on in her in-ear monitor, and this part sounds like it's sung (with well timed effect). And also there are countdowns going on to stay on track. No need for a review, just for personal interest. Late posting this but video was posted not long ago 😉

You should react to the epic piece that started Metalheads adoption of BM : Ijime, Dame, Zettai @Sonisphere
I'm not sure if Su sang the slow blue part in this case, but concerning her talents it could very well be possible. In some slower songs like Akatsuki's unfinished version, she sings in a very similar way live.
I think you should do a double reaction to compare 'studio' versus 'live'.
BxMxC from their latest album. No official video but you can get the album track and react to that first and then there are some quite good fancams of the live version just to see how Su copes with the challenging vocals. I think this is one of the best ua-cam.com/video/BjNHAZAAQug/v-deo.html
goodVideo,good reaction.
Only the kami band can summon Su.. 🫣
Only 16 years old at the time.
13:29 It wasn't a recording. If you listen carefully, you can hear where they mess up the timing just a fraction when removing the effect.
Vocal effect wasn't a recording. You just heard them turning the effect off.
I vaguely remember seeing a video where she talked about how she had to train to sing with her head like that so that she could match the effect with her voice. Not sure though.
Hey chase, its been a while since your last reaction to babymetal. You still have many amazing song to analysis, i suggest you to checkout BxMxC or tales of destinies (audio only).
I'll get ti squeezed in for sure. Trying to look at loads of different stuff but I'll do my best.
@@ChaseCarneson Thank you :)
You could try Mischief of metal gods and the next going song "Akatsuki" from Tokyo Dome concert. But it could be blocked on youtube
Tales of the Destinies".
