I don't know what I enjoy more, BABYMETAL or people discovering them for the first time. It's all amazing! I fell down this hole back in 2015 and have been in love with them ever since.
Great reaction - and yes this was all live, recorded at their 'Legend 1997' concert in December 2013. Su-metal was born in 1997, this was her 16th birthday party and it was an incredible concert ... especially when you consider it was still 3 months before they released their first album. RoadRunner has explained the meaning of this song, I will just say I was so happy it was on the set list when they played in London in 2020 so I could experience it in person.🤘 A word of warning if you like going to live concerts - BABYMETAL spoil you for any other concerts afterwards, nothing else quite compares.🦊🤘🔥 I will second every suggestion you have had for more BABYMETAL songs, do them all, they are all different so neither you or us will get bored.
So goes another step down the Fox Hole!! So many more surprises ahead of you...enjoy the ride!! What is next for you?? Only the Fox God Knows!! Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
Having had the good fortune to have seem Babymetal live both in Japan and on tour, I can say that there is just nothing else like Babymetal live, but Babymetal live in Japan is on a whole other level. Their headline shows in their homeland are a level of spectacular that few other acts can match.
My top 3 would be... 1. Megitsune (music video recommend, probably their best song of all time) 2. Road of Resistance live in Japan (probably their best live performance ever) 3. Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live (best live show showcasing the kami band behind the girls)
Another great reaction, thanks! "Headbanger" or more properly "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" or "ヘドバンギャー! !" (Hedobangyā!!) is about a girl who attends to her first metal concert on the night of her 15th birthday and that causes a great impact on her. That is the age of the end of the compulsory school in Japan so young people have to make some relevant decisions at that point. So this is actually about coming on age and leaving the childhood behind with a hint of nostalgia. Not a biographical theme because this is a pretty early song and Su-metal performed it for the first time when she was only 14. Unlike that "Catch me if you can" compilation, this is a proper live performance at the Makuhari Messe Event Hall in Chiba, held on December 21st 2013, the day after Su-metal (the lead singer 16th birthday). Yui and Moa were both still 14 back then. And as you mentioned, the crowd interaction here is insane. Believe me, that crowd got that night everything they deserved... and more! 😁We will get there later, hehe... At this point, and continuing with their early stuff, here is a good next one: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html But if you want to know why the "notacult" thing... here: "BABYMETAL Death" (Legend 1997 with CC, without spoilers): ua-cam.com/video/VE34mRpi6Qk/v-deo.html Until next time! 🤘🦊
Simply and absolutely Amazing performance! No more words! You need watch now "iine" live, 3 differents styles in 1 song. Is absolutely crazy!!! See you at the next, Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
probably the only Babymetal song with 5 versions: - the "normal" one you reacted here - a Moa version for her 15th birthday - a Yui version for her 15th birthday - a, some people call it a dubsteb version, after the Ave Maria intro - and a Moa Version for her 20th birthday 🤘🦊🤘
I have been a fan since 2017, and I still can't help but smile through all of their performances. It's still so fresh and unique, and so well executed in all aspects. They are the epitome of live entertainment to me. All of their songs are worth a recommendation, a bigger factor to set them apart are copyright issues. For some reason, some videos like this one are relatively safe, while others (especially newer ones) will get blocked immediately. You can get around it by using effects etc., but not everyone is willing to do that. I would say it's worth it, though, because there are some real gems that are excluded otherwise. One video that has a mixed record in that regard that I'd like to recommend is the official music video for the song Megitsune. It's pretty typical BABYMETAL (if there is such a thing) with its mixture of styles and cultures. What I particularly like about it is that it has more of a Japanese edge compared to many others.
The name makes me think of that scene in "Wayne's World" with "Bohemian Rhapsody." Wow, I wouldn't want the one to have to tell these "babies" it's bedtime!
Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey.🦊🤘🔥 Thanks for hearing our suggestion. They were part of Sabaton's Europe Tour, and everyone were having a blast with them coming back to the stage in these live concerts and more is coming such the Babyklok Tour in the US along with Dethklok and another return to UK and Europe for a headline shows, also they already finished the Asian and Australian Tour and more is coming, but so far this beloved song by fans wasn't part of the setlist outside of Japan. Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!! is one of BM fans favorite and got special meaning too. Song is about a 15 years old girl celebrating her birthday going to her first live concert, probably metal, while having melancholy for leaving her childhood behind. Isn't about any of our girls but they embraced this song like it was made for them, you'll find many special versions of this, even when they celebrate their 20th Birthday. 15 is an important coming of age for Japanese girls, 20 is another important date. This was at Legend 1997 (that's the title of this live concert referring to SuMetal birthyear) in 2013 celebrating SuMetal 16th Birthday, and the whole concert was special and one night only, if you want to know the rest of the songs finishing this, those are: - "Akatsuki" Unfinished Version, a beautiful SuMetal solo version with only a piano behind, the original song is a power/speed metal balad - "Babymetal Death", be ready for this insane ending, The live concert and also this song got plenty of tributes to the greatest metal bands, like Metallica and X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The statue behind is SuMetal resemblance and is a tribute to Metallica's Lady Justice. This song got tributes to one of the greatest J-metal/visual key bands, like X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The official MV is also creepy for some fans, I guess the organ gave that effect, you'll also see the neckbrace there for the first time which is a tribute to Yoshiki from X-Japan. Another thing that you don't see so much here in their live performance is, when YuiMetal and MoaMetal are hyping the crowd singing "Hedoban hedoban", the choreography on this part is with them down on their knees and doing the "dogeza hedoban" which is like bowing down back and forth summoning the metal spirit represented by the neckbrace while SuMetal is standing with the mic rise up and her relentless death stare, that's another moment we called -NotACult- 👀 The Kami Band here are insane set of elite musicians who were send to help with the metal sound, "kami" means roughly "god", they're wearing burial white robes and corpse face paint to represent those spiritual entities. They rotate so probably you won't see some of them in all live concerts (especially the guitarrists). They are: - Míkio Fujioka, god of guitar, a beloved member, sadly he passed away in 2018. (R.I.P.) - Leda Cygnus, god of guitar, he's the only Kami Band member who's credited as a session musician when recording some albums tracks. - BOH, god of bass, he's the bald one and not only got amazing talent but her fun way to enjoy reminds me Flea from RHCP. You can see at the end (when SuMetal is crawling upstairs) his head got written "Happy Birthday". - Hideki Aoyama,, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father was a very famous in Japanese music scene. Next suggestion: - _"Ijime Dame Zettai"_ live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 official, and you can witness a turning point in their career and a different type of live performance unlike this one with big top notch production. Or another epic anthem could be: - Road Of Resistance live in Japan (2015) official live. Thanks for sharing this suggestion and see you next time!🦊🤘🔥
Yui team here ❤❤❤ I've come up from foxhole because this reaction video appeared on my recommendation list just now. I love how this guy reacting to good music.
I like your ending line, "music is medicine", in Japanese it would be "ongaku wa kusuri desu". I learned that this is true after I heard Babymetal, finding music that resonates with you can no doubt have a positive impact on the body. My eyes were opened to a whole new world when I discovered them and that kick-started a genuine interest in Japanese culture. I now listen to many groups from Japan and most of them aren't even metal. 🤨 I'm also learning Japanese because I don't want to just look at things from the outside, I want to one day immersive myself and explore Japan from the inside.
Hopefully you will watch the music videos and live performances of BABYMETAL because they are really fun. My suggestions are Doki Doki morning, iine, Shine, and Karate 🥋.
Welcome to the Foxhole! A couple of my favorite songs are: Road of Resistance, Rondo of Nightmare, PA PA YA, Megitsune, Syncopation, Akatsuki and YAVA! But you can't go wrong with any of their songs. They vary widely, but are all catchy and entertaining as hell. And the live show videos are usually the best way to get the full experience.
Yeah definitely not a cult. Let's not mention that during this video while they were using the smoke machines a large portion of the audience were bowing down with their arms hahaha (a reference to the music video). On that note you should add the song "Babymetal Death" live at the concert called "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" to your list. It's a performance to save for later on once you're a bit more familiar with Babymetal but it's one you don't want to miss (and is in no way culty btw...). Im trying to intrigue you but it really is one better to wait on, maybe 5th or 6th song I'd say. Before then I'd recommend any or all of these, take your pick: "Megitsune" for a fan favourite "Ijime Dame Zettai" live at Sonosphere for their first big event with a Western audience "Gimme Chocolate" for the viral song that put them on the radar "Road of Resistance" live in Japan for the most impressive performance and audience participation "Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro live at Budokan for a pretty technically complex song musically "Monochrome" to try a newer release (which comes as a two parter - the studio release and the stripped down acoustic First Take version) "Karate" is just a banger "Pa Pa Ya" for a metal party song "No Rain, No Rainbow" for a shift in gears to an actually emotional power ballad There is just so much waiting for you, and all different from the last. I could add more but I'll resist. Have fun!
I assume you got the full story from Grington or Jake on your first reaction. I will enjoy seeing you work through their catalog up to their recently released 4th album and latest performances.
I was so happy they brought this song back on their US tour 2019 sadly just after i seen them at Brixton Academy in London ☹️ but seen it at the Apollo in February 2020 and it was great fun kept slapping the bald guys head in front as i bowed to them ( he was not bowing 😱) it was so much fun. Surrgest Road of Resistance live in Japan for the fan interaction and an awesome performance 👍😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼#stillnotacult
This is where I missed Yui so much. Her face is tottaly adorable here. ❤ Headbanger is the first song that drag me into the fox hole. If you want more catchy song, go for PaPaYa next. And I encourage you to go for older song like line (iine). Lets see your reaction 😂, they really break the genre in that song (in the good way) Waiting for your next choice man 🕺
Nice that you are enjoying the Foxhole. You might also like the climbing into the Wolf Den of "LOVEBITES" with (Holy War), or you can try the Pigeonhole with "BAND MAID"s (Freedom), or any of their songs. Also try out "NEMOPHILA" (Dissension). All bangers!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your reaction, it's hard to watch reactions to Babymetal these days because many reactors just don't get it ! They tell me : Ya, it's good, it's fun to watch blabla but they don't realise that Babymetal created its own genre, no one can't compete with them ! Some tried, all failed ! So it's not only about the Band Babymetal, it's about a complete new style of heavy metal ! And it's really nice to watch you to enjoy this ... Will you succeed ? Well : "Only the Foxgod knows !" If you need other suggestions be sure to check out : - ROAD OF RESISTANCE live in Japan (official) - Babymetal Death - Legend 1997 (Complete) and of course : - BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!! (OFFICIAL) Good luck, have fun and just be yourself .... love it !
Thank you for the question, it is actually a part of my surname (Liebenberg) and the other half is from an old gamer tag I always used growing up. It kind of merged one day and stuck with me😅
Since you've decided to continue your journey down the BABYMETAL foxhole, you'll find great songs, good songs and ones that aren't so good, you'll find triumph (Sonisphere 2014) and tragedy (the departure of Yuimetal in 2018 and the unfortunate death of Mikio Fujioka, guitarist of the BABYMETAL backing "Kami Band"), you'll find Black BABYMETAL (BBM), and you'll find that although BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal"), they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made metal FUN!. They have only a bit over sixty songs and you're sure to find most of them quite entertaining. I will be the first to agree with the One that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they have several music videos that are real works of art and definitely worth looking into (“Doki Doki Morning”, “Iine!”, “Megitsune”, “Karate”, and “BxMxC”. In my opinion, those are BABYMETAL’s best MV’s - so far!). Also, to really understand the "#notacult" reference, you need to watch "BABYMETAL Death", the "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" version (it is included in the list provided below). You could even just take in the entire "Legend 1997" concert ( ua-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html )! I've compiled what I consider to be BABYMETAL's top twenty songs/videos here on UA-cam; it contains both live performances and the above mentioned music videos. I sincerely hope that you consider reacting to them all (except "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" - one down, nineteen to go) ua-cam.com/play/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj.html I recommend that you start at the top of the list and work your way down: it starts with the very first MV they did (2012) and moves forward to 2019. I should mention that I cannot guarantee that reacting to these videos won't be blocked but with some creative editing that shouldn't be a problem. BABYMETAL recently released their fourth album “The Other One”. I would strongly recommend that you react to their earlier work before delving into this last album: in my opinion, the contrast is striking. Finally, I suggest that you avoid compilation and fancam videos like the plague. Sorry about the wall! Enjoy your continuing trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!) KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
This concert is just bizarre, how can KIDS 16 and 14 years old pull out this performance? It’s just next-level professional, and proof of that old adage, “no matter how good you are at something, somewhere, an Asian child is doing it better than you”.
Welcome to the foxhole🦊 Nice Reaction! There are about 60 BM songs, but they are all unique and very different. You might even say that they are all different genres of music anymore. If I had to say something, I would say that BABYMETAL is a genre and the only one of its kind in the world. And even if there are only four albums, the enjoyment is endless, because the same song has different qualities at different shows! First I would suggest listening to the songs from the early years.(I am resisting the urge to recommend all of them, because the songs I hear at the time will be the ones I like best) ・Road of Resistance(Live in Japan) ・Ijime Dame Zettai(Live at Sonosphere 2014 UK) ・Megitsune(Official MV) ・KARATE(Official MV) ・KATATE(Download fes 2016) ・Rondo of Nightmare(Budokan Black Night) The studio recorded albums and music videos are very good, but I believe that the true form of BABYMETAL is the dance, the production, and most importantly, the audience together. I believe that BABYMETAL is the state that includes everything. There will be a US tour and an EU tour this year, so please join us and get a taste of the true BABYMETAL. From Japan🦊
👍 👍 Stage presence, crowd control and amazing talent. Suzuka Nakamoto the lead vocalist was only 16 years of age (The concert was named Legend of 1997 in honor of her year of birth). Moa and Yui were only 15. Only about 58 or so more LIVE song/performances to go if you choose to continue. Each one different. Hope to see you again.
Japan is a treasure chest of all-female and female-led Metal and Rock bands of exceptionally high musicianship and they're making all the best Metal and Rock of the 21st century. Babymetal, Band-Maid (THE best Rock band in existence), Nemophila, Lovebites to start the ball rolling. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
Nice reaction and analysis! As you noticed, the crowd is an essential part of a Babymetal show. The girls said in an interview that they want to create the experience with the crowd and hell yeah, do they a fantastic job. Since you want to go down further down the foxhole, I suggest “Ijime Dame Zettai” live at Sonisphere 2014, “Karate” live at Download (or Drownload as we call it xd) 2016, and/or “Road of Resistance” the official video (it is a live performance). See you! 🤘🔥🦊
I saw BABYMETAL live last week and my face hurt afterwards because of all the smiling and cheering I did! 🔥🦊🤘
you will understand the "not a cult" reference after watching "death" from this same LIVE show.. ;)
I don't know what I enjoy more, BABYMETAL or people discovering them for the first time. It's all amazing! I fell down this hole back in 2015 and have been in love with them ever since.
Great reaction - and yes this was all live, recorded at their 'Legend 1997' concert in December 2013. Su-metal was born in 1997, this was her 16th birthday party and it was an incredible concert ... especially when you consider it was still 3 months before they released their first album.
RoadRunner has explained the meaning of this song, I will just say I was so happy it was on the set list when they played in London in 2020 so I could experience it in person.🤘
A word of warning if you like going to live concerts - BABYMETAL spoil you for any other concerts afterwards, nothing else quite compares.🦊🤘🔥
I will second every suggestion you have had for more BABYMETAL songs, do them all, they are all different so neither you or us will get bored.
So goes another step down the Fox Hole!! So many more surprises ahead of you...enjoy the ride!!
What is next for you?? Only the Fox God Knows!!
Put your Kitsune UP!! Po!
pls more babymetal! rondo of nightmare and babymetal death .. and megitsune, all live!
The Foxhole is soooo deep!! They have so many awesome songs!!
Saw them last Sunday in Melbourne live, they put on a amazing show
Having had the good fortune to have seem Babymetal live both in Japan and on tour, I can say that there is just nothing else like Babymetal live, but Babymetal live in Japan is on a whole other level. Their headline shows in their homeland are a level of spectacular that few other acts can match.
My top 3 would be...
1. Megitsune (music video recommend, probably their best song of all time)
2. Road of Resistance live in Japan (probably their best live performance ever)
3. Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live (best live show showcasing the kami band behind the girls)
Another great reaction, thanks!
"Headbanger" or more properly "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" or "ヘドバンギャー! !" (Hedobangyā!!) is about a girl who attends to her first metal concert on the night of her 15th birthday and that causes a great impact on her.

And as you mentioned, the crowd interaction here is insane. Believe me, that crowd got that night everything they deserved... and more! 😁We will get there later, hehe...
At this point, and continuing with their early stuff, here is a good next one: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
But if you want to know why the "notacult" thing... here: "BABYMETAL Death" (Legend 1997 with CC, without spoilers): ua-cam.com/video/VE34mRpi6Qk/v-deo.html
Until next time!
🤘🦊
Simply and absolutely Amazing performance! No more words! You need watch now "iine" live, 3 differents styles in 1 song. Is absolutely crazy!!! See you at the next, Kitsune 🤟🏻🦊🇯🇵🔥🔥🔥
probably the only Babymetal song with 5 versions:
- the "normal" one you reacted here
- a Moa version for her 15th birthday
- a Yui version for her 15th birthday
- a, some people call it a dubsteb version, after the Ave Maria intro
- and a Moa Version for her 20th birthday
🤘🦊🤘
Fantastic band who have only improved with age. Amazing.
I have been a fan since 2017, and I still can't help but smile through all of their performances. It's still so fresh and unique, and so well executed in all aspects. They are the epitome of live entertainment to me.
All of their songs are worth a recommendation, a bigger factor to set them apart are copyright issues. For some reason, some videos like this one are relatively safe, while others (especially newer ones) will get blocked immediately. You can get around it by using effects etc., but not everyone is willing to do that. I would say it's worth it, though, because there are some real gems that are excluded otherwise.
One video that has a mixed record in that regard that I'd like to recommend is the official music video for the song Megitsune. It's pretty typical BABYMETAL (if there is such a thing) with its mixture of styles and cultures. What I particularly like about it is that it has more of a Japanese edge compared to many others.
The name makes me think of that scene in "Wayne's World" with "Bohemian Rhapsody." Wow, I wouldn't want the one to have to tell these "babies" it's bedtime!
Babymetal's fury is as sweet as a caress and its tenderness as fiery as a fire. Thank you for sharing !🤘🦊🤘
BABYMETAL live is LIFE
BABYMETAL FOREVER
🤘🤘🤘
Welcome back to the Foxhole and BabyMetal journey.🦊🤘🔥
Thanks for hearing our suggestion.
They were part of Sabaton's Europe Tour, and everyone were having a blast with them coming back to the stage in these live concerts and more is coming such the Babyklok Tour in the US along with Dethklok and another return to UK and Europe for a headline shows, also they already finished the Asian and Australian Tour and more is coming, but so far this beloved song by fans wasn't part of the setlist outside of Japan.

Isn't about any of our girls but they embraced this song like it was made for them, you'll find many special versions of this, even when they celebrate their 20th Birthday.
15 is an important coming of age for Japanese girls, 20 is another important date.
This was at Legend 1997 (that's the title of this live concert referring to SuMetal birthyear) in 2013 celebrating SuMetal 16th Birthday, and the whole concert was special and one night only, if you want to know the rest of the songs finishing this, those are:
- "Akatsuki" Unfinished Version, a beautiful SuMetal solo version with only a piano behind, the original song is a power/speed metal balad
- "Babymetal Death", be ready for this insane ending,
The live concert and also this song got plenty of tributes to the greatest metal bands, like Metallica and X-Japan, specially Yoshiki, the gong at the end is one of those, you'll find more and plenty of this to add to their lore. The statue behind is SuMetal resemblance and is a tribute to Metallica's Lady Justice.

- Hideki Aoyama,, god of drums, he comes from a family of expert drummers, and his father was a very famous in Japanese music scene.
Next suggestion:
- _"Ijime Dame Zettai"_ live at Sonisphere Festival 2014 official, and you can witness a turning point in their career and a different type of live performance unlike this one with big top notch production.
Or another epic anthem could be:
- Road Of Resistance live in Japan (2015) official live.
Thanks for sharing this suggestion and see you next time!🦊🤘🔥
Yui team here ❤❤❤
I've come up from foxhole because this reaction video appeared on my recommendation list just now.
I love how this guy reacting to good music.

heh if u got Babymetal "Death" (from same legend 97) unprepared it can blow your mind)
Hopefully you will watch the music videos and live performances of BABYMETAL because they are really fun. My suggestions are Doki Doki morning, iine, Shine, and Karate 🥋.
Nice one👊🏽⚡️👍 Don’t stress on which one next. The songs are all unique and interesting. Have fun🦊🤘🏾
BABYMETAL is truly medicine🤘🦊♪
Welcome to the Foxhole! A couple of my favorite songs are: Road of Resistance, Rondo of Nightmare, PA PA YA, Megitsune, Syncopation, Akatsuki and YAVA! But you can't go wrong with any of their songs. They vary widely, but are all catchy and entertaining as hell. And the live show videos are usually the best way to get the full experience.
Yeah definitely not a cult. Let's not mention that during this video while they were using the smoke machines a large portion of the audience were bowing down with their arms hahaha (a reference to the music video). On that note you should add the song "Babymetal Death" live at the concert called "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" to your list. It's a performance to save for later on once you're a bit more familiar with Babymetal but it's one you don't want to miss (and is in no way culty btw...). Im trying to intrigue you but it really is one better to wait on, maybe 5th or 6th song I'd say.
Before then I'd recommend any or all of these, take your pick:
"Megitsune" for a fan favourite
"Ijime Dame Zettai" live at Sonosphere for their first big event with a Western audience
"Gimme Chocolate" for the viral song that put them on the radar
"Road of Resistance" live in Japan for the most impressive performance and audience participation
"Rondo of Nightmare" with Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro live at Budokan for a pretty technically complex song musically
"Monochrome" to try a newer release (which comes as a two parter - the studio release and the stripped down acoustic First Take version)
"Karate" is just a banger
"Pa Pa Ya" for a metal party song
"No Rain, No Rainbow" for a shift in gears to an actually emotional power ballad
There is just so much waiting for you, and all different from the last. I could add more but I'll resist. Have fun!
I assume you got the full story from Grington or Jake on your first reaction. I will enjoy seeing you work through their catalog up to their recently released 4th album and latest performances.
BABY METAL🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥
I was so happy they brought this song back on their US tour 2019 sadly just after i seen them at Brixton Academy in London ☹️ but seen it at the Apollo in February 2020 and it was great fun kept slapping the bald guys head in front as i bowed to them ( he was not bowing 😱) it was so much fun. Surrgest Road of Resistance live in Japan for the fan interaction and an awesome performance 👍😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼#stillnotacult
"Headbanger" Legend 1997 Apocalypse concert is a epic show celebrating Babymetal Su-Metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) 16th Birthday 🎉 or Seitansai @ the Makuhari Messe. Spot the Pikachu in the middle of the crowd, you won't miss it!. After this react to "BABYMETAL DEATH" @ the same concert, you will see homage tribute to METALLICA, X JAPAN 🇯🇵 & ALICE COOPER.
Headbanger (Babymetal song):-
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" (ヘドバンギャー！！, Hedobangyā!!) is a single by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. Released in Japan on July 4, 2012 in promotion for the album Sakura Gakuin 2012 Nendo: My Generation, the single serves as the third single from the debut album Babymetal. It is also the band's first solo audio release to be released commercially.

Babymetal singles chronology:-
"Babymetal / Kiba of Akiba": (2012)
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!": (2012)
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai": (2013)
Background and release:-
Unlike previous tracks released by the band, which had her vocal recorded in segments within the songs, Nakamoto had her lines recorded in a single take several times. She had been told to sing and find a story within the music. By the time she had comprehended the story behind the lyrics, she grew capable of singing the entire song naturally. When Mizuno and Kikuchi listened to her shouting "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" for the first time, they felt as if they had seen another cool side of her, surprised by the vocal power. Additionally, the single introduced the members to the whispering style of singing, with the A-side's "Kiero!" (Disappear!) and the B-side's "Uki Uki Midnight". Kobametal was inspired to Ko use it to contrast traditional death growls.
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" was announced as a single on April 27, 2012, with a release date set for July 7, 2012. The single was released in two versions: a standard edition, available via CD and digital formats, and a physical limited Hedo-ban ("Head edition"), which contains a CD and a "neck corset" (actually a cervical collar) for headbanging training.[5] Both editions of the single feature the songs "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" and "Uki Uki ★ Midnight" (ウ・キ・ウ・キ★ミッドナイト, "Exhilarating Midnight"), along with instrumental versions (labeled as "Air Vocal ver."). The standard version contains an enhanced CD with a bonus music video of "Babymetal Death", which can only be played on a computer. The artwork of the standard edition depicts a lyric in the song, specifically when the girl is headbanging with the corset, with the crimson-colored moon in the background, as well as the band name appearing at the top. The limited edition artwork depicts a temple scripture of the "Corset of Legend" with the song title spelled out in the middle.
Before the physical international release of the song, its title was written ambiguously as either "Head Bangya!!" or "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", the latter of which is officially used in the international re-release of Babymetal and all future releases. The music video uploaded to the band's UA-cam channel initially had the former name, though it was switched to the latter in 2015; the version uploaded by Toy's Factory consistently retained the official title.
Tekina Remix:-
During the live performances Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, and Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai at Makuhari Messe on December 21, 2012, a remix titled "Night of 15 mix." was performed, containing more elements of electronic music. The former took place on Suzuka Nakamoto's actual fifteenth birthday, while the latter was the opening song for the concert. Remixed by DJ'Tekina//Something, the song was later released as part of Social Reform promotional editions of the single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", and later appeared on DJ'Tekina//Something's remix album Kawa-EDM (2016), re-subtitled as "Tekina Remix".
KamiBand:-
The KamiBand are the instrumentalists (or backing band) in BABYMETAL - Each member is a "god (Kami) of music" summoned by The Fox God stage by stage. All the Kamis are male except for the Babymetal girls. The Kami Band wear corpse face paint and white robes depicting Japanese 🇯🇵 spirit.

Please, make more Reactions to BABYMETAL, Every song is a lot DIFFERENT and UNIQUE, Check all LIVE PERFORMANCE Only
This is where I missed Yui so much. Her face is tottaly adorable here. ❤
Headbanger is the first song that drag me into the fox hole.
If you want more catchy song, go for PaPaYa next.
And I encourage you to go for older song like line (iine). Lets see your reaction 😂, they really break the genre in that song (in the good way)
Waiting for your next choice man 🕺
Yeah! You are The One! 🤘🦊🇲🇽
Nice that you are enjoying the Foxhole. You might also like the climbing into the Wolf Den of "LOVEBITES" with (Holy War), or you can try the Pigeonhole with "BAND MAID"s (Freedom), or any of their songs. Also try out "NEMOPHILA" (Dissension). All bangers!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your reaction, it's hard to watch reactions to Babymetal these days because many reactors just don't get it ! They tell me : Ya, it's good, it's fun to watch blabla but they don't realise that Babymetal created its own genre, no one can't compete with them ! Some tried, all failed ! So it's not only about the Band Babymetal, it's about a complete new style of heavy metal ! And it's really nice to watch you to enjoy this ... Will you succeed ? Well : "Only the Foxgod knows !"
If you need other suggestions be sure to check out :
- ROAD OF RESISTANCE live in Japan (official)
- Babymetal Death - Legend 1997 (Complete)
and of course :
- BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!! (OFFICIAL)
Good luck, have fun and just be yourself .... love it !
HA! I just did a drum cover of this....
The energy is insane.
More of the ladies, plese
PS: Why did you choose a German name for your channel, if I may ask?
Thank you for the question, it is actually a part of my surname (Liebenberg) and the other half is from an old gamer tag I always used growing up. It kind of merged one day and stuck with me😅
@@EchoesOfEmotionReact Very interesting! Thanks.
Greetings from Düsseldorf/Germany
Probably the only 16yr old that can part a sea..
Megitsune please
A little suggestion to pause for a few minutes while watching their show, because it is prone to copyright, thank you
Since you've decided to continue your journey down the BABYMETAL foxhole, you'll find great songs, good songs and ones that aren't so good, you'll find triumph (Sonisphere 2014) and tragedy (the departure of Yuimetal in 2018 and the unfortunate death of Mikio Fujioka, guitarist of the BABYMETAL backing "Kami Band"), you'll find Black BABYMETAL (BBM), and you'll find that although BABYMETAL started a brand new genre of music ("kawaii metal"), they cannot be pigeon-holed - they are almost always thinking and moving outside box; they made metal FUN!. They have only a bit over sixty songs and you're sure to find most of them quite entertaining. I will be the first to agree with the One that BABYMETAL is best served live, but they have several music videos that are real works of art and definitely worth looking into (“Doki Doki Morning”, “Iine!”, “Megitsune”, “Karate”, and “BxMxC”. In my opinion, those are BABYMETAL’s best MV’s - so far!). Also, to really understand the "#notacult" reference, you need to watch "BABYMETAL Death", the "Legend 1997 Apocalypse" version (it is included in the list provided below). You could even just take in the entire "Legend 1997" concert ( ua-cam.com/play/PLdBAj9hZ91wCao72oSqTMLrGpIDOqzR2Q.html )!
I've compiled what I consider to be BABYMETAL's top twenty songs/videos here on UA-cam; it contains both live performances and the above mentioned music videos. I sincerely hope that you consider reacting to them all (except "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" - one down, nineteen to go) ua-cam.com/play/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj.html
I recommend that you start at the top of the list and work your way down: it starts with the very first MV they did (2012) and moves forward to 2019. I should mention that I cannot guarantee that reacting to these videos won't be blocked but with some creative editing that shouldn't be a problem.
BABYMETAL recently released their fourth album “The Other One”. I would strongly recommend that you react to their earlier work before delving into this last album: in my opinion, the contrast is striking.
Finally, I suggest that you avoid compilation and fancam videos like the plague.
Sorry about the wall!
Enjoy your continuing trip down the foxhole! (You're in for a wild ride!!!)
KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘
That was different
😁😁😁🤘🤘🤘
From the same concert Babymetal Death if you want to jump right down the foxhole 😇🦊
Einfach nur geil😊
Not a bad track on the whole live 97 concert - some almost unique. They've ruined my ability to listen to anything else pretty much for a year now 😆
This concert is just bizarre, how can KIDS 16 and 14 years old pull out this performance? It’s just next-level professional, and proof of that old adage, “no matter how good you are at something, somewhere, an Asian child is doing it better than you”.
it still boggles my mind that this is someones 16th birthday and they hadnt even released a full album yet.
Welcome to the foxhole🦊 Nice Reaction!
There are about 60 BM songs, but they are all unique and very different. You might even say that they are all different genres of music anymore. If I had to say something, I would say that BABYMETAL is a genre and the only one of its kind in the world. And even if there are only four albums, the enjoyment is endless, because the same song has different qualities at different shows!
First I would suggest listening to the songs from the early years.(I am resisting the urge to recommend all of them, because the songs I hear at the time will be the ones I like best)
・Road of Resistance(Live in Japan)
・Ijime Dame Zettai(Live at Sonosphere 2014 UK)
・Megitsune(Official MV)
・KARATE(Official MV)
・KATATE(Download fes 2016)
・Rondo of Nightmare(Budokan Black Night)
The studio recorded albums and music videos are very good, but I believe that the true form of BABYMETAL is the dance, the production, and most importantly, the audience together. I believe that BABYMETAL is the state that includes everything. There will be a US tour and an EU tour this year, so please join us and get a taste of the true BABYMETAL.
From Japan🦊
Cirque du soleil ?
Yui, the cutest 🍅 in the world!
Hedobang!!!!!! 🦊🤘🏼
👍 👍
Stage presence, crowd control and amazing talent. Suzuka Nakamoto the lead vocalist was only 16 years of age (The concert was named Legend of 1997 in honor of her year of birth). Moa and Yui were only 15.
Only about 58 or so more LIVE song/performances to go if you choose to continue. Each one different.
Hope to see you again.
Japan is a treasure chest of all-female and female-led Metal and Rock bands of exceptionally high musicianship and they're making all the best Metal and Rock of the 21st century. Babymetal, Band-Maid (THE best Rock band in existence), Nemophila, Lovebites to start the ball rolling. 🦊🤘🤘🦊
🤘🦊🤘 #NotACult

Nice reaction and analysis! As you noticed, the crowd is an essential part of a Babymetal show. The girls said in an interview that they want to create the experience with the crowd and hell yeah, do they a fantastic job.
Since you want to go down further down the foxhole, I suggest “Ijime Dame Zettai” live at Sonisphere 2014, “Karate” live at Download (or Drownload as we call it xd) 2016, and/or “Road of Resistance” the official video (it is a live performance). See you! 🤘🔥🦊
I can't believe how much water fell out of the sky during Download 2016. 😂😂
