Yeah, Su is one of the best performers I've ever seen in a stage. Without her talent (and Koba's vision) this crazy experiment of a guy who wanted to merge idols and metal would have never become a world music phenomenon that has created a whole world trend of interest in japanese metal.
Guitar Lobby ranks Su as #6 of the "best female metal singers of all time who have helped define and transform the genre over the years". Even with half a life of experience you can bet she is by far the youngest on this list of epicness.
Believe it or not, this is Su's first attempt at a rap-style delivery (let's not count the few seconds in Ii-ne). The studio version was heavily auto-tuned as a stylistic choice so people doubted whether or not this would ever be performed live. Su absolutely nails it as you just saw, and many concert-goers agree that BxMxC is by far their heaviest song to experience live.
When BabyMetal tries something new, they don't just dip their toe in the shallow end. They dive straight into deep end. You can see the results in these performances.
You can say that again. Their albums are such a mosh of different sounds and styles that one wonders if it is the same band. I still get chills comparing the album version of 'Catch Me If You Can' to the live versions. The album version is Grunge Rock melded with the Kawaii Metal sound that they forged. 'BxMxC' shocked me a little, but I love it. 'Metali' is another one I've grown to love.
Yeah...SU-METAL is Queen!! and BxMxC is such a badass song!! Plus that moment during 8:08 where SU and MOA are in perfect sync is 🔥🔥. Can't wait for them to come back!
Great reaction. When the single and offical video were released there were many who thought it couldn't be done live (the studio recording has a lot of auto-tune and effects because ... well, studio recording and artistic choice I guess). They took the roof off every venue they played on the UK and European tour in 2020 with this. As you said, Su is Queen. I have 'borrowed' this information (again) - "They talked about 'BxMxC' in a recent interview. SU-METAL: That was my first rap experience. For most of my recordings up until now, I would sing “la la laa” to create a sort of vocal line, and then lyric writing began based on that. (Typical J-Pop recording has the session singer record demo vocals once the arrangement, lyrics and melody are finished. Then the group uses that demo as a guide to do their recording. BABYMETAL doesn’t record in the J-pop style, they do it like a rockband.) SU-METAL: But it was different for this track, they had a backing track and lyrics, and then told me to try rapping. So at first I was still trying to figure it out. In hiphop they call it…it was like…ah, I forget! MOAMETAL: Wasn’t it…f-…fall? SU-METAL: Uh…what was it… KOBAMETAL (who happened to be there): Flow? SU-METAL: Flow! (laughs) To get a feel for the flow, I made a lot of different attempts to figure out what would be good. Like how to descend and ascend in pitch, and which timing would be the best to try the pitch changes. Even for the same phrase I’d try going a little ahead of the beat or a little bit behind it, while keeping the whole track’s balance in mind." 'BxMxC' means BABYMETAL Cypher (almost certainly), but there is a chance it is 'Bring Moa Chicken' In another interview not so long ago Moa was asked "How are you feeling right now?" Moa's reply "Hungry, I need fried chickens."
I remember that before BxMxC mv, I spent about two weeks watching all the BxMxC fancams in 2020 and replayed them many times. What I like the most is the part where there is only Su’s singing and no music.
I hadn't listened to this song in a few months, and that acapella rap section just gave me some serious chills as if I'd never heard it before a million times. For a moment I'd forgotten how great Babymetal is.
Great reaction. I was lucky enough to see them do this one live. I was 8-10 feet from Su and she absolutely nailed it. A very impressive performer. They all are, but Su is very special.

When I first listened to this song, which was not in the global version of Metal Galaxy, I was "damn, this is gold, but no way she's going to perform this live!" Then we got one blurry fancam from MG Legend, the first time she sang BxMxC and I was 🤯. She almost 😂 during the solo as she surprised herself with a really high note. So not to twist the knife, but BxMxC was the "main dish" in the EU leg of their 2019/20 World Tour which unfortunately ended in February due to the pandemic. I missed their date in Copenhagen and was going for Warsaw but it never happened 😔. They are very proud of BxMxC as they chose this song for their performance on the Japanese National TV Broadcast NHK. 🤘🦊⚡
I was also an idiot who doubted how it would be performed live because it had so many effects on the album version... but Su-metal delivers it even many times better live !
Every time I listen to BxMxC, I always feel that Su’s singing has the style of singing ancient Japanese poems or ancient music or chanting in a temple.
Ah your first taste of today's Babymetal. All of your reactions up until now have been older performances. I'd really recommend you check out some more of the songs from Metal Galaxy, the latest album. They did some really fun experimental stuff with it, and Su-metal's voice has really matured. There's several songs on this album that I think teenage Su-metal could not have pulled off. In particular, I'd recommend Brand New Day, Night Night Burn, and Shanti Shanti Shanti.
Great reaction, did you realize that her low register voice even matched and not overpowered by 9 strings guitars? completely in synced. Keep the good work and keep them coming!
love your reaction to this song. we dont call her Queen Su for nothing. you are so right. she is so much better than 90% of the rappers here it is embarrassing for them. this song is just so much energy. i am starting to see you have a girl crush on our Queen. lol. but you still ain't seen nothing yet of what this band and Su can do. my suggestion now is Karate live from Download 2016. FYI Su's birthday is coming up, December 20th. she will be 24 years old. keep going on your journey. i love your reactions.
Great reaction, thanks! When this song came out I was one of those who were very skeptical about this song. But then they performed it live and I changed my mind. Su kills it. She totally owns the stage and the whole freaking venue. Someone give her the keys, please! hehe... She's called the Queen for a good reason :)
I am a Japanese in my 60s. The part in the middle of the song where she sings without playing is similar to the old Japanese way of singing. I feel it is similar to the "rowkyoku" way of singing and the "katari" way of singing of the BiwaHowshi, who are traditional singers from 1000 years ago.
Thank you for mentioning those singing styles, do you have examples of what we can look up ? The way I see it Japanese fits rap-style very well, which seems to help with songs like this.
@@autohmae Japanese monk，Ippen(1239〜1289), Buddhist prayer－Odorinenbutsu= Dance Buddhism Buddhist incantation using chanting，drumbeating(beating dora) and dancing，playing guitar(playing Biwa，japanese guitar) + Japanese Fox god shrine ，anyway，that time inJapan，Kamakura period ，The Mongol invasion of Japan(1274,1281) There are many Ippen believers of samurai. for example，Ghost of Tsushima👍
God you are so beautiful, and watching you react to this song is just unreal. I’m smashing the like button! BxMxC is one of my favorites and I’m heavy metal through and through. There’s something about Su and what she can do is unexplainable.
I’ve seen this performed live four times and it’s an absolute banger live. She knocks the crazy vocal gymnastics bit in the middle right out of the park. Live. She doesn’t rely on on the backing for it. I was close enough to her in Glasgow to be able to see that she was singing it live.
Fantastic reaction to this, one of my faves at this point. And that's coming from a guy who generally dislikes most rap/hip-hop. A few notes: - Su has actually been on the stage performing almost since she could walk, so she's had probably close to twenty years of experience entertaining and working hard at her craft - She has actually raphopped before - in fact the earliest songs from Babymetal were very much in that vein (Doki Doki Morning and Iine [that's an 'i' - pronounced "ee-nay"]). But this is indeed the most complex and rapid-fire rapping. I'd recommend reacting to those two songs just for fun, and to see how far they've come. Also: Kawaiiiiiiii!!! I'd also recommend looking for the fancams of their smaller venue performances of this song. I've always felt that it has far more impact in a more close setting with the audience.
If you want another dubstep metal from Babymetal from their very beginnings, I suggest you _Uki Uki Midnight._ FYI, they use a 9 Strings ESP E-II MF-9 Special Babymetal for this song, BxMxC.
Hohoho, so you're into Dubstep Metal? Say no more! BabyMetal has you covered :D - "Uki Uki Midnight" live at Budokan 2014 - "Avemarie + Headbanger night of 15 mix" live at Legend 1997, it was the opener of that concert And if you want to hear SU flex a bit with her vocal ability, "Shanti, Shanti, Shanti" :)
⚡ 💕 / 🕶 🎤 🍗 That's great. You had some really sharp observations. Su-metal drops into a lower register in 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!', but it's not sustained for nearly as long as it is for this song. I'm not a Japanese speaker, but it sounds like (and Japanese fans have confirmed) that her pronunciation while singing is really clear. Although BABYMETAL started when Su was 12 years old, she joined her first pro group at 10 years old. She was the youngest member of the JPop trio Karen Girl's, which started in 2008. Su passed the audition, and was admitted to Actors School Hiroshima (ASH) to study singing and dancing when she was 8. She had been modeling since she was 3, and won her first big modeling contest the next year. Even then, her dream was to be a singer.
Rick : You are right. Su's pronunciation is very very clear compared to other Japanese female vocalists. That is one of the reasons I admire her (and oimatsu0531 as well). One exception is "Doki Doki Morning" that is fast like a tongue twister and includes special jargons used by young girls 😄 。
@@flugelhornoldman1362 'Doki Doki ☆ Morning' sounds like a challenge for sure. Su even got the line "Shuugoo shuugoo. Hookago shuugoo." (Gathering. Gathering. Gathering after school.") changed from something that was even harder to sing quickly. : )
I‘ve noticed this as well. I don‘t listen to that much Japanese music, but often when I come across it, it sounds so „slurred“ to me that it‘s almost hard to recognize it as Japanese, especially when it‘s Rap music. I was pretty surprised to realize that, as I thought the Japanese language should work pretty well for Rap, because of the relatively steady sequence of alternating consonants and vowels. But apparently it takes a genius like Su to give it both a nice flow and clarity.
@@MacTaipan Hi Taipan : Year, Su's talent is incredible. In addition, it seems to me songwriters are creating lyrics inspired by her talent. That is a kind of vehicle to convey certain messages (whether serious or playful, whether straightforward or allusive) in a elaborated manner, that is total lyrics constructed by clear words of her voice. There are different approaches to lyrics. For example, Band-Maid. I love Saiki's voice and the pronunciation of single sound coming out of her mouth is clear but difficult to understand the lyrics as sentence or message (except for slow songs). It is too fast and too many words sprinkled with English phrases to catch. I can understand them only when I read lyrics line by line separately. I believe Miku's songwriting style is to make the total lyrics catchy and rhythmical to ears by filling a number of information. (The messages of Miku's lyrics are interesting and good, though). As you may know I am not a cult guy, but Su's clear singing voice sounds like a oracle to me. I fully understand my Goddess's messages 😄 。
@@flugelhornoldman1362 Su-metal shared a little secret about Doki Doki Morning many many years ago in an interview: they changed the lines in the song because a certain part she couldn't pronounce (what was changes isn't mentioned). Which means even for her the song as it was written originally was not possible to record in the studio !
Fantastic reaction!! BMC will forever and always stand for Bring Moa Chicken! 🐔🐔 I didn't care for this song too much when it was first released since someone must have fell asleep on the autotune button but, the first time I heard it live it blew my mind! I knew it would be a challenge to do it live but, Queen Su Goddess of all that is Metal made it look easy as usual. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
Yeah it's crazy vocals. When I first heard the song. I figured they just slid her notes on a computer. But then seeing her sing it live was amazing. I just wonder did they slide her notes and she learned to sing it that way. Or this is just how it has always been.
Great reaction! I feel pretty much the same way. The studio version is much more electronicky, with lots of autotune and other effects on Su‘s voice. When I heard it for the first time, this song really surprised me, and I actually didn‘t really like it. But after a few listens I thought, „wait a minute, this is actually pretty awesome“. But I was convinced that they‘d never bring it to the stage. First of all, there wouldn‘t be much left once they took away the effects, and secondly, the sound is so badass, this little girl would look ridiculous performing it. I should have known that I was an idiot to think that. Su just replaced the effects with skill, and she looks absolutely legit doing those Hip Hop (or whatever) moves. I like the live version much better for that reason. Su is huge on stage. And in addition to that, I‘m very happy that they still manage to surprise me. After four years of being a fan I thought I had seen everything they had to offer, but I was so wrong. Now I‘m sure the next album will still leave me with my jaw on the floor. I‘m not a fan of Hip Hop either. In fact, BABYMETAL have done a whole lot of things I‘m usually not a fan of, that even includes dancing. But somehow it all turns into gold when they touch it. No idea how they are doing it, it‘s a phenomenon. The whole band is a phenomenon.
"Su is huge on stage." Suzuka off-stage humble 5 feet tall young woman. Su-metal on stage: 50 feet monster and I mean that in the best way possible. :-) The Fox God and messanger challenge everyone involved in Babymetal to create their best work. Everything the girls, and now young women, have done in Babymetal was a challenge/a training for the next part/something new for them to gain experience. At the end of 2015 when it was announced, Wembley Arena, new album before April, Tokyo Dome, it was a huge challenge before them. Paraphrasing Yuimetal: "I didn't think we were really for Tokyo Dome." and she was right but the experience they gained that year all added up and when Babymetal performed at Tokyo Dome they said (paraphrasing): "it's surprisingly a big crowd for us, our biggest show, so grateful everyone came to see us, but also a smaller venue then I would have imagined. And excited for the next step up."
@@autohmae I agree Su-metal is a monster and larger than life on-stage. Off-stage various websites have Suzuka's (now 24 yo) as height 158-160 cm (5' 3") and weight 43-47 kg (95-103 pounds). Such a powerful voice from a petite person is amazing.
The fact they left this song off the albums western release is a travesty. Su is just a top tier vocalist that I believe can cross multiple genres of music because of her dedication to the craft. I have many issues with the idol culture in Japan but every once in a while a true star is discovered.
Love your reaction and your music; you have a GREAT voice! Since you've done a version of Ave Maria and love dub step, you need to check out Babymetal's opening for the Legend 1997 concert. It's celebrating Su's 16th birthday and opens with Ave Maria followed by a dub step version of "Headbanger". Keep on rockin' out!
As you pointed out in your reaction, Babymetal (Su and Moa) normally sing higher cleans with little or no vibrato (ok, I know there are exceptions), but Su and Moa can be heard, on occasion, to move in front of or behind the beat with their vocals. They will do this mostly when they sing over heavier, distorted and syncopated instrumentals. They do this to get some 'clean air' between the violent instrumental punches that would otherwise drown out their vocals. It's really clever. If you listen to Su's vocals in BMC you can hear her move seamlessly from being 'in time' with the beat, to being 1/4 in front or behind the beat (and this changes mid-flow when the instrumental attack changes). Su makes this look easy, so easy that most won't notice it. These vocals are not easy. Anastasia, I love your reactions. I enjoy watching reactors that are musicians themselves because they often provide a deeper insight than some other reactors. Keep your great reactions coming.
I hope you got your chance to see Babymetal on their North American tour. I got to see them in both Toronto and Vancouver. They are so great to see live. Babymetal forever!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Great & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。This is a compilation from 2 shows in Jan. 2020 and March 2021 and audio source is also a mixture of the two. That means the music behind the girls are played by two bands : East (Japan) and West (USA) Kami Bands. Both are great ! Your selection is very timely, because Su-Metal's 24th birthday is coming soon (Dec. 20). I had thought the lyrics was a kind of word play being full of puns and rhyme, but I was wrong. One fan made me aware of its depth of the implication. Su is singing about some established style which used to be revolutionary and literally "stylish" but has turned already hackneyed or obsolete. The second line of the lyrics I read "Style breaks rhyme, Chaos provokes mosh" and the third line "Something like Metal Cypher breaking a rule, it is a Role, too". (Whose role it should be ?) Other lines of lyrics are also suggesting some kind of breakthrough or changes of the status-quo including notion of BABYMETAL itself. For example, what does the last line of the acapella means ? "Real-Fake speaking, Rusted Chain, Illusion" ... Team BM is creative and excellent.
Popz said he's got something planned. BritKpop Reacts may be doing something. I've been bugging him to react to Su's surprise appreciation party. Hopefully Cyneward too.
@@jamesmcclung153 that will be great should be fun also Babymetaltube he will be streaming on his channel for 48 hours from 18th to celebrate Su's Birthday 🤘🦊🤘❤🥳
Great reaction ! Really do think Babymetal is build to challenge Su-metal's talent to make her better and more experienced. Actually everyone involved in Babymetal is challenged in new ways and they create some of their best work. Diction is always has been Su-metal's specialty. She is amazing at pronunciation, she works and works and works on it. She is so dedicated she says she is still working hard on the song Megitsune, a song from 2012, to make it better.
Her english has also really improved, and you can tell in the newer songs. I'm constantly blown away by BM. I spend a lot of time on youtube and a lot of it is watching reactions of BM. Specially the very first reaction, and then do others they may have. It's such a joy to see people react the way I reacted to BM when I first heard it. Specially those who have the musical knowledge to understand what she's doing.
babymetal are winding up their 2023 u.s. tour next week. i hope you got to see them. BMC is a definite highlight from all the fan cam videos i've seen of the tour. i'm going to the final show on oct. 12 and this is one of the top 5 songs i'm anxious to hear.
You must know some details about Su. First of all, she speaks VERY fast by nature. Like a machine gun. At the age of 12, in a Japanese show, she was just a chatterer. In fact, she could speak 2 times faster than others. So in this regard, it is not difficult for her. And secondly, she took Rap lessons especially for this song, and mastered some techniques in order to perform well. This Su girl is very purposeful indeed. And she is ready to do a lot to improve her skills.
This took the fucking roof off the hall when I saw them back in February 2020, Here's the best close-up view Queen Su killing it with BMC live, which really gets the power of her performance across in all its glory ( ua-cam.com/video/BjNHAZAAQug/v-deo.html ). The MV is excellent too, in the style of a video game ( ua-cam.com/video/ng8mh6JUIqY/v-deo.html ).
I totally agree with each and every word you're saying. I'm sorry I don't like metal at all, even more I don't like Kawaii ... but THIS SONG BLOWS ME AWAY like it did with you. For the very reasons you named. Unbelievable. This is one of my favourite songs ever. And that's from me who doesn't like metal or Kawaii ...
One of the last concerts they did before the pandemic shutdown was in St. Petersburg and Moscow. You gotta watch the video of their live rendition of BMC, daaang it was so good that them Russians went all ape shit.
B M C is one of my favorites . You would love Kagerou from the same show with a badass intro from the American tour Kami band . This is a great live version . ua-cam.com/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/v-deo.html
Suzuka Nakamoto is a líving legend.
Definetally.
Su is the absolute Queen of the Metalverse. No other woman comes close to her vocals.
she sounds good when she farts
SU 様はおならなどはするか！！
uh.. Floor Jansen is on a completely different level and Su isn't even close. I think Su has great vocals but your statement is just wrong.
She is our Queen , the Queen of Metal Goddess.
They asked Su to rap. She did it herself. She is a great performer, and I'm thankful I've seen them perform.
Yeah, Su is one of the best performers I've ever seen in a stage. Without her talent (and Koba's vision) this crazy experiment of a guy who wanted to merge idols and metal would have never become a world music phenomenon that has created a whole world trend of interest in japanese metal.

They are very proud of BxMxC as they chose this song for their performance on the Japanese National TV Broadcast NHK.
🤘🦊⚡
I was also an idiot who doubted how it would be performed live because it had so many effects on the album version... but Su-metal delivers it even many times better live !
Every time I listen to BxMxC, I always feel that Su’s singing has the style of singing ancient Japanese poems or ancient music or chanting in a temple.
Ah your first taste of today's Babymetal. All of your reactions up until now have been older performances. I'd really recommend you check out some more of the songs from Metal Galaxy, the latest album. They did some really fun experimental stuff with it, and Su-metal's voice has really matured. There's several songs on this album that I think teenage Su-metal could not have pulled off. In particular, I'd recommend Brand New Day, Night Night Burn, and Shanti Shanti Shanti.
There is a surge of good Japanese female metal bands,but there is only one BABYMETAL!!! Please do more BABYMETAL reactions.
Yes only one. BABYMETAL
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Great reaction, did you realize that her low register voice even matched and not overpowered by 9 strings guitars? completely in synced.
Keep the good work and keep them coming!
SHE AIN'T CALLED GODDESS FOR NOTHING.
love your reaction to this song. we dont call her Queen Su for nothing. you are so right. she is so much better than 90% of the rappers here it is embarrassing for them. this song is just so much energy. i am starting to see you have a girl crush on our Queen. lol. but you still ain't seen nothing yet of what this band and Su can do. my suggestion now is Karate live from Download 2016. FYI Su's birthday is coming up, December 20th. she will be 24 years old. keep going on your journey. i love your reactions.
Great reaction, thanks!
When this song came out I was one of those who were very skeptical about this song. But then they performed it live and I changed my mind. Su kills it. She totally owns the stage and the whole freaking venue. Someone give her the keys, please! hehe... She's called the Queen for a good reason :)
I am a Japanese in my 60s. The part in the middle of the song where she sings without playing is similar to the old Japanese way of singing. I feel it is similar to the "rowkyoku" way of singing and the "katari" way of singing of the BiwaHowshi, who are traditional singers from 1000 years ago.
Thank you for mentioning those singing styles, do you have examples of what we can look up ?
The way I see it Japanese fits rap-style very well, which seems to help with songs like this.
@@autohmae Japanese monk，Ippen(1239〜1289), Buddhist prayer－Odorinenbutsu= Dance Buddhism Buddhist incantation using chanting，drumbeating(beating dora) and dancing，playing guitar(playing Biwa，japanese guitar) + Japanese Fox god shrine ，anyway，that time inJapan，Kamakura period ，The Mongol invasion of Japan(1274,1281) There are many Ippen believers of samurai. for example，Ghost of Tsushima👍
@@木村正夫-m1u Thank you again, Babymetal is very good at finding overlapping parts between genres and combining them.
If you want dubstep try: BABYMETAL - Uki Uki Midnight (Live at Budokan)
If you want more Babymetal dubstep check out Uki Uki Midnight or Headbanger (night of 15 mix)
God you are so beautiful, and watching you react to this song is just unreal. I’m smashing the like button! BxMxC is one of my favorites and I’m heavy metal through and through. There’s something about Su and what she can do is unexplainable.
I think she was blown away. 😁
This sound is a good example of Trap music. Hard core rap with dub step vibe. Welcome to the Fox Hole.
And Su is our Queen❣️
I've always wondered how many rappers went back to the "drawing board", if you will, after hearing Su-Metal Rap!!!
Not enough are aware about BxMxC I think for that to happen.
I’ve seen this performed live four times and it’s an absolute banger live. She knocks the crazy vocal gymnastics bit in the middle right out of the park. Live. She doesn’t rely on on the backing for it. I was close enough to her in Glasgow to be able to see that she was singing it live.
Your reaction is exactly the reason I am a Babymetal fan..... because they have the ability to simply blow you away on a repeated bases.
BxMxC is rap-metal and uses a custom 9 strings guitar, that is why the tone hits hard. This is Su-Metal first time rapping and she is spitting bars and this is why Su-Metal is versatile and can sing any genre given. This is the upgrade version of "Iine" which have rave and hip-hop influence. BxMxC reference is either Bring x Moa x Chicken or Baby x Metal x Cypher.

Magestic performance!!! 🔥🔥🤘🦊🤘
Omg when this song dropped I was shook at Su!! She is amazing, thanks for the great reaction ❤❤
Queen Su does one song and becomes the best rapper on Earth.
Haha I would like this twice if I could. Love this song too.
Fantastic reaction to this, one of my faves at this point. And that's coming from a guy who generally dislikes most rap/hip-hop. A few notes:
- Su has actually been on the stage performing almost since she could walk, so she's had probably close to twenty years of experience entertaining and working hard at her craft
- She has actually raphopped before - in fact the earliest songs from Babymetal were very much in that vein (Doki Doki Morning and Iine [that's an 'i' - pronounced "ee-nay"]). But this is indeed the most complex and rapid-fire rapping. I'd recommend reacting to those two songs just for fun, and to see how far they've come. Also: Kawaiiiiiiii!!!
I'd also recommend looking for the fancams of their smaller venue performances of this song. I've always felt that it has far more impact in a more close setting with the audience.
If you want another dubstep metal from Babymetal from their very beginnings, I suggest you _Uki Uki Midnight._
FYI, they use a 9 Strings ESP E-II MF-9 Special Babymetal for this song, BxMxC.
BABYMETAL METAL CYPHER! BxMxC
KITSUNES UP 🤘🏼
👑👑👑
🦊🦊🦊
You like dubstep then you will also like "Uki uki midnight".
Hohoho, so you're into Dubstep Metal?
Say no more! BabyMetal has you covered :D
- "Uki Uki Midnight" live at Budokan 2014
- "Avemarie + Headbanger night of 15 mix" live at Legend 1997, it was the opener of that concert
And if you want to hear SU flex a bit with her vocal ability, "Shanti, Shanti, Shanti" :)
⚡ 💕 / 🕶 🎤 🍗
That's great. You had some really sharp observations.
Su-metal drops into a lower register in 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!', but it's not sustained for nearly as long as it is for this song.
I'm not a Japanese speaker, but it sounds like (and Japanese fans have confirmed) that her pronunciation while singing is really clear.
Although BABYMETAL started when Su was 12 years old, she joined her first pro group at 10 years old.
She was the youngest member of the JPop trio Karen Girl's, which started in 2008.
Su passed the audition, and was admitted to Actors School Hiroshima (ASH) to study singing and dancing when she was 8.
She had been modeling since she was 3, and won her first big modeling contest the next year.
Even then, her dream was to be a singer.
Rick : You are right. Su's pronunciation is very very clear compared to other Japanese female vocalists. That is one of the reasons I admire her (and oimatsu0531 as well). One exception is "Doki Doki Morning" that is fast like a tongue twister and includes special jargons used by young girls 😄 。
@@flugelhornoldman1362 'Doki Doki ☆ Morning' sounds like a challenge for sure.
Su even got the line "Shuugoo shuugoo. Hookago shuugoo."
(Gathering. Gathering. Gathering after school.") changed from something that was even harder to sing quickly. : )
I‘ve noticed this as well. I don‘t listen to that much Japanese music, but often when I come across it, it sounds so „slurred“ to me that it‘s almost hard to recognize it as Japanese, especially when it‘s Rap music. I was pretty surprised to realize that, as I thought the Japanese language should work pretty well for Rap, because of the relatively steady sequence of alternating consonants and vowels. But apparently it takes a genius like Su to give it both a nice flow and clarity.
@@MacTaipan Hi Taipan : Year, Su's talent is incredible. In addition, it seems to me songwriters are creating lyrics inspired by her talent. That is a kind of vehicle to convey certain messages (whether serious or playful, whether straightforward or allusive) in a elaborated manner, that is total lyrics constructed by clear words of her voice.
There are different approaches to lyrics. For example, Band-Maid. I love Saiki's voice and the pronunciation of single sound coming out of her mouth is clear but difficult to understand the lyrics as sentence or message (except for slow songs). It is too fast and too many words sprinkled with English phrases to catch. I can understand them only when I read lyrics line by line separately. I believe Miku's songwriting style is to make the total lyrics catchy and rhythmical to ears by filling a number of information. (The messages of Miku's lyrics are interesting and good, though). As you may know I am not a cult guy, but Su's clear singing voice sounds like a oracle to me. I fully understand my Goddess's messages 😄 。
@@flugelhornoldman1362 Su-metal shared a little secret about Doki Doki Morning many many years ago in an interview: they changed the lines in the song because a certain part she couldn't pronounce (what was changes isn't mentioned). Which means even for her the song as it was written originally was not possible to record in the studio !
Nice!!! Maybe next Babymetal - Road of Resistance Live in Japan 🤘🦊
The live version changed my mind about this song. I didn't think I would like it. But I love it now.
Fantastic reaction!! BMC will forever and always stand for Bring Moa Chicken! 🐔🐔 I didn't care for this song too much when it was first released since someone must have fell asleep on the autotune button but, the first time I heard it live it blew my mind! I knew it would be a challenge to do it live but, Queen Su Goddess of all that is Metal made it look easy as usual. Kitsune Up! 🤘🦊🤘
Su's got the flow!
There's a pretty cool dubstep bit in their song Uki Uki Midnight!
Yeah it's crazy vocals. When I first heard the song. I figured they just slid her notes on a computer. But then seeing her sing it live was amazing. I just wonder did they slide her notes and she learned to sing it that way. Or this is just how it has always been.
Great reaction Ani :)
For more Babymetal dubstep try Uki Uki Midnight and AveMaria
she is special
あなたのリアクションが好きです。
More BM Pls..
Great reaction! I feel pretty much the same way. The studio version is much more electronicky, with lots of autotune and other effects on Su‘s voice. When I heard it for the first time, this song really surprised me, and I actually didn‘t really like it. But after a few listens I thought, „wait a minute, this is actually pretty awesome“. But I was convinced that they‘d never bring it to the stage. First of all, there wouldn‘t be much left once they took away the effects, and secondly, the sound is so badass, this little girl would look ridiculous performing it.
I should have known that I was an idiot to think that. Su just replaced the effects with skill, and she looks absolutely legit doing those Hip Hop (or whatever) moves. I like the live version much better for that reason. Su is huge on stage.
And in addition to that, I‘m very happy that they still manage to surprise me. After four years of being a fan I thought I had seen everything they had to offer, but I was so wrong. Now I‘m sure the next album will still leave me with my jaw on the floor.
I‘m not a fan of Hip Hop either. In fact, BABYMETAL have done a whole lot of things I‘m usually not a fan of, that even includes dancing. But somehow it all turns into gold when they touch it. No idea how they are doing it, it‘s a phenomenon. The whole band is a phenomenon.
"Su is huge on stage."
Suzuka off-stage humble 5 feet tall young woman.
Su-metal on stage: 50 feet monster and I mean that in the best way possible.
:-)
The Fox God and messanger challenge everyone involved in Babymetal to create their best work.
Everything the girls, and now young women, have done in Babymetal was a challenge/a training for the next part/something new for them to gain experience.
At the end of 2015 when it was announced, Wembley Arena, new album before April, Tokyo Dome, it was a huge challenge before them. Paraphrasing Yuimetal: "I didn't think we were really for Tokyo Dome." and she was right but the experience they gained that year all added up and when Babymetal performed at Tokyo Dome they said (paraphrasing): "it's surprisingly a big crowd for us, our biggest show, so grateful everyone came to see us, but also a smaller venue then I would have imagined. And excited for the next step up."
@@autohmae I agree Su-metal is a monster and larger than life on-stage. Off-stage various websites have Suzuka's (now 24 yo) as height 158-160 cm (5' 3") and weight 43-47 kg (95-103 pounds). Such a powerful voice from a petite person is amazing.
@@GenTzu Her lung capacity is probably that of a full grown brown bear 🙂
@@autohmae I'm going with grizzly bear, they're much larger! 😊
You can say just "BMC".
The Xs are there just to space out.
Glad you came back to BM. Thought you'd quit on them for a minute. There's so much more talent to explore. Keep it up.
Su's rap and stage presence are great, but lovely Moa and the Avenger (Momoko?) are killing it!
More BabyMetal please 😊
Very nice, honest, unfiltered reaction.
what do you mean Su-metal was walking around LIKE a Queen? She IS a QUEEN! :)
The fact they left this song off the albums western release is a travesty.
Su is just a top tier vocalist that I believe can cross multiple genres of music because of her dedication to the craft. I have many issues with the idol culture in Japan but every once in a while a true star is discovered.
Babymetal [ YAVA -- Big fox festival ]
Love your reaction and your music; you have a GREAT voice! Since you've done a version of Ave Maria and love dub step, you need to check out Babymetal's opening for the Legend 1997 concert. It's celebrating Su's 16th birthday and opens with Ave Maria followed by a dub step version of "Headbanger". Keep on rockin' out!
As you pointed out in your reaction, Babymetal (Su and Moa) normally sing higher cleans with little or no vibrato (ok, I know there are exceptions), but Su and Moa can be heard, on occasion, to move in front of or behind the beat with their vocals. They will do this mostly when they sing over heavier, distorted and syncopated instrumentals. They do this to get some 'clean air' between the violent instrumental punches that would otherwise drown out their vocals. It's really clever.
If you listen to Su's vocals in BMC you can hear her move seamlessly from being 'in time' with the beat, to being 1/4 in front or behind the beat (and this changes mid-flow when the instrumental attack changes). Su makes this look easy, so easy that most won't notice it. These vocals are not easy.
Anastasia, I love your reactions. I enjoy watching reactors that are musicians themselves because they often provide a deeper insight than some other reactors.
Keep your great reactions coming.

ua-cam.com/video/5hmZdS0-g8k/v-deo.html
Uki uki midnight is for you!
Great & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。This is a compilation from 2 shows in Jan. 2020 and March 2021 and audio source is also a mixture of the two. That means the music behind the girls are played by two bands : East (Japan) and West (USA) Kami Bands. Both are great ! Your selection is very timely, because Su-Metal's 24th birthday is coming soon (Dec. 20).
I had thought the lyrics was a kind of word play being full of puns and rhyme, but I was wrong. One fan made me aware of its depth of the implication. Su is singing about some established style which used to be revolutionary and literally "stylish" but has turned already hackneyed or obsolete. The second line of the lyrics I read "Style breaks rhyme, Chaos provokes mosh" and the third line "Something like Metal Cypher breaking a rule, it is a Role, too". (Whose role it should be ?) Other lines of lyrics are also suggesting some kind of breakthrough or changes of the status-quo including notion of BABYMETAL itself. For example, what does the last line of the acapella means ? "Real-Fake speaking, Rusted Chain, Illusion" ... Team BM is creative and excellent.
Ready to celebrate 🥳🤘🦊🤘
Popz said he's got something planned. BritKpop Reacts may be doing something. I've been bugging him to react to Su's surprise appreciation party. Hopefully Cyneward too.
@@jamesmcclung153 that will be great should be fun also Babymetaltube he will be streaming on his channel for 48 hours from 18th to celebrate Su's Birthday

@@martinmetal7481 oh yes. I'm in BabymetalTube discord server. I'd be surprised if Buttons doesn't do something also.
@@martinmetal7481 oh and Gombers is streaming Legend 1997 on twitch.
Great reaction ! Really do think Babymetal is build to challenge Su-metal's talent to make her better and more experienced. Actually everyone involved in Babymetal is challenged in new ways and they create some of their best work.
Diction is always has been Su-metal's specialty. She is amazing at pronunciation, she works and works and works on it.
She is so dedicated she says she is still working hard on the song Megitsune, a song from 2012, to make it better.
Her english has also really improved, and you can tell in the newer songs. I'm constantly blown away by BM. I spend a lot of time on youtube and a lot of it is watching reactions of BM. Specially the very first reaction, and then do others they may have. It's such a joy to see people react the way I reacted to BM when I first heard it. Specially those who have the musical knowledge to understand what she's doing.
babymetal are winding up their 2023 u.s. tour next week. i hope you got to see them. BMC is a definite highlight from all the fan cam videos i've seen of the tour. i'm going to the final show on oct. 12 and this is one of the top 5 songs i'm anxious to hear.
I love Sue at this age the voice is so good deeper it reminds me of MIA
Mano, eu acho q é impossível um show dessas acontecer assim, é mttttt perfeito
You must know some details about Su. First of all, she speaks VERY fast by nature. Like a machine gun. At the age of 12, in a Japanese show, she was just a chatterer. In fact, she could speak 2 times faster than others. So in this regard, it is not difficult for her.
And secondly, she took Rap lessons especially for this song, and mastered some techniques in order to perform well. This Su girl is very purposeful indeed. And she is ready to do a lot to improve her skills.
Do From Dusk Til Dawn next if you like dubstep... Maybe BBAB after that... Probably my favorite Babymetal song of all time
a good example for Su's deep voice is Akatsuki , one of her solo songs
This one is my favorite.
SUZUKA THE QUEEN
This took the fucking roof off the hall when I saw them back in February 2020, Here's the best close-up view Queen Su killing it with BMC live, which really gets the power of her performance across in all its glory ( ua-cam.com/video/BjNHAZAAQug/v-deo.html ). The MV is excellent too, in the style of a video game ( ua-cam.com/video/ng8mh6JUIqY/v-deo.html ).
Do you want Babymetal Dub step? Do Uki Uki Midnight
A famous music critic here in my country insists that it's playback. But, I've never read about anyone that seen them alive complain about it.
You should check out Brand New Day video by BabyMetal Wow!
I totally agree with each and every word you're saying. I'm sorry I don't like metal at all, even more I don't like Kawaii ... but THIS SONG BLOWS ME AWAY like it did with you. For the very reasons you named. Unbelievable. This is one of my favourite songs ever. And that's from me who doesn't like metal or Kawaii ...
One of the last concerts they did before the pandemic shutdown was in St. Petersburg and Moscow. You gotta watch the video of their live rendition of BMC, daaang it was so good that them Russians went all ape shit.
B M C is one of my favorites . You would love Kagerou from the same show with a badass intro from the American tour Kami band . This is a great live version . ua-cam.com/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/v-deo.html
