    The unfinished version always reminds me, as they say: vocals is an other instrument, but she doesn't play vocals, she plays heart strings.

    Lots of metal singers have got range and power (Tarja or Floor), but Su's one of the few singers I know that can be that expressive of emotions in her singing. From her facial expressions, the pained smile, to how she's singing with slight hesitation like she's choked up with emotion.... She's not just a vocalist.... That's one of the many reasons I like her, she doesn't just sing a song, she performs it... From facial expressions, to her own interpretive dance moves, its a whole package.... If a western pop singer sings a sad ballad, they might just lower their eyes a bit, a slight frown... When Su does it (like in Akatsuki Unfinished or No Rain No Rainbow), you can hear the cracking of her voice, the slight choking back a sob, the sad tearful expression... Better than some hollywood actresses. 🤘🦊🤘

    You were correct with the headbanger callout, as this was the song just after and she started it in the same position as the end of headbanger. Then it went on to Death and the outro lore. The same song, in two wildly different performances. One day they will do the unfinished version again...one day..(probably not lol)

    A most excellent reaction! Akatsuki at Budokan (2014) is my very first favorite Babymetal song and my favorite version and my favorite Su-metal death glare. Akatsuki unfinished version hits me in so deep in the feels. It is usually watched in double vision caused by teared up eyes. Especially when Su drops to her knees and chokes up while singing. It is too beautiful. 🤘🦊🤘

    Akatsuki is the only Babymetal song that can sometimes beat Megitsune in fan polls for favourite song. It is one of the four songs that Su-metal sings solo, the others being "No Rain, No Rainbow", "Amore", and "Rondo Of Nightmare".
    Budokan 2021 was the last time it was performed live, but prior to that it hadn't been performed since 2018. No-one knows if and when she will perform it again.

    My interpretation to unfinished version is the scene after Su-idol died, and before Su-metal reborn. She was just still a vulnerable spirit. And now, you've got to see Headbanger 15 Mix with Ave Maria Intro.😂
    By the way, in Babymetal Death in Legend 1997 concert, Su was the only one got the legendary neck brace. However, in another live performance, legend 1999 concert, while Su singing No Rain No Rainbow, Yui and Moa also got the legendary neck brace, which means that Yui & Moa follow Su's steps and sacrificed themselves too. That's why in recent Babymetal Death, all three of them showed up on the crosses.

    A fantastic song in both versions. The so called unfinished version with the emotional singing suits Su's voice better and i prefer it. The "Band" version is so powerful, it' s one of a kind Metal Ballad. I know Babymetal since Gimme Chocolate came out but i ignored the Band to December last year and now... Babymetal is the best and greatest Band in the World and Su's voice make me smile and lost in tears all at the ssame time. I'm 63 and a musician by myself but never ever thought that a band make me so happy, rockin' and emotional at the same time. And it starts with Doki Doki Morning and a song about eating chocolate! As this old person i am, i can prove: Chocolate is important, since and ever!

    Nice double reaction again👊🏽⚡️🦊🤘🏾Fans have nicknamed the 3 songs at the end of the Legend 1997concert the ‘trilogy of death’. I think you have reacted to Headbanger and Babymetal death from this concert. Since you’ve done that trilogy you should check out the trilogy of light. It is the 3 final songs on the Metal Galaxy album; Starlight, Shine, and finally Arkadia.

    • @MacTaipan
      @MacTaipan 5 місяців тому +1

      To be honest, I don't understand where this moniker comes from. Headbanger has definitely nothing to do with death, and for Akatsuki it's at least debatable. I don't see any connection.

    Around 5:10, did you realize there was mascara running down her eyes? SHe actually did start crying at that point.
    The first video, was the Unfinished version, and it was performed only that time. THere are some epic versions and performances of songs, that are only done once or just a couple of times.
    Like for example, you already did a reaction to headbanger, and you saw the live version where they gave Moametal the mic to sing in the second part.
    There is another version of Heabanger, called "Night of 15 mix" that was only played twice.
    If you want to check out something different and special, check out Headbanger night of 15 mix live at Legend 1997.
    You could go for the longer version, that also has the full intro for that show, that's called Avemaria + Headbanger night of 15 mix live at Legend 1997

    Well, "Akatsuki" (the "regular" version) is my absolute favorite song and these two are my absolute favorite live performances. I'm into power metal, I'm a die-hard BABYMETAL fan and I stan Su-metal unconditionally... so, it was written and I had no choice. 🤣 No, really, it totally resonates with me and I consider this absolute perfection. I suggest everyone to check out the bass lines. BOH played it during a livestreaming and it's just amazing. It's something we tend to underestimate.

    Alatsuki Unfinished) - Su giving in to her fate.
    Babymetal Death - Death of her mortal/Idol self, and rebirth as a Metal Goddess.

    Yes, Akatsuki should be read as Crimson Moon rather than the mundane/everyday meaning of dawn/daybreak. And the Red Thread of Fate goes pinky to pinky. The unfinished version ends before the defiant last line: "Dye crimson! Dye bloody crimson!" leaving us with only the heartache of loss.😭

    The Red Thread of Fate is an East Asian belief originating from Chinese mythology. It is commonly thought of as an invisible red cord around the finger of those that are destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are "their one true love". (Wikipedia) Su holds up her pinky finger, it means that the person she is in love with has died and the thread has been broken.
