Welcome back to BabyMetal's metalverse 🦊🤘🌐
Nice suggestion to keep following your BM journey with this new era.
Monochrome is another beautiful track from latest album, it was the 2nd single released in November 2022 and there's an official lyrics video really cool if you wanna enjoy the studio album version, later in 2023 right before this concert you just saw they released the Piano Version at The First Take surprising everyone with another stunning and beautiful one off stripped down version, highly suggested.
The lyrics got some Norse mythology reference and when the lyrics vid came out there were many theories around, later they said they were surprised about it and saying they just wanna give a hopeful song.
Here's some official info:
_"One of the discovered 10 parallel worlds is MONOCHROME and this 2nd pre-release digital single “Monochrome” centers around this theme. From the eyes of the children, what color were the monochrome fireworks lighting up in the night sky? This song expresses the hopeful wish on Ragnarok, which signifies doomsday in Norse mythology, twinkling across the starry skies in rainbow colors."_
This was live at BabyMetal Begins - PIA Arena MM Clear Night, Yokohama on April 2, MomoMetal first concert as an official member (she's the new official member after YuiMetal left the group in 2018), you can notice SuMetal speaking to them in the middle section and giving that recognition.
They got this magical moment when performing live in every setlist they did throughout this whole World Tour 2023, and we'll definitely gonna see more this year.
The composer behind this song is the same one behind Karate, Rondo Of Nightmare, Kagerou, the arrangement of Megitsune and also behind Believing from this same latest album, you should really not miss those songs.
Next suggestion:
- MAYA live at PIA Arena MM official MV.
.
Like SuMetal said at the end: "Just smile".🙂
Keep enjoying BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘🌈
As always Jake, great info. Maya has been suggested quite a bit but I think I wanna check out Babymetal Death and Rondo of Nightmare first but I'll work my way back to Maya. Thanks again. 🤘🦊🤘
@@ADistortedPerception Sure man, those are great suggestion and are on my recommendation list as well.🦊👍
Thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。I witnessed this very performance at the venue where and when Momoko was inducted as an official 3rd member. I sang the ♪ oh oh ohoo ♪ part with Momometal, who had headset mic for the first time like Moa has done since BM's inception. I did it with my loudest voice in the show. What a bliss!
The flying drones with cameras that enabled the beautiful aerial cinematograph were manipulated by experts including Ms. Shiraishi. She is a member of team Japan for World Drone Racing Championship.
Western (American) Kami Band played in the girls' back like they did in BM's North American tour with DETHKLOK and EU/UK tour last year.
Japanese fans always appreciate the devoted support like knights by Chris, CJ, Anthony and Clint (Ryan replaced in USA). They are really unsung heroes.
Amazing!!! Had to be a great experience being there!! 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction as always! And yes, definitely “go back in time” with Babymetal 👌.
For the heavy:
*1). Rondo of Nightmare (Budokan 2014):* Su-metal solo, epic band flex, dark and ominous.
*2). Catch Me If You Can (Budokan 2014):* Only Babymetal can pull off such a brutally heavy song with such adorable cuteness. Oh, and an epic band flex.
*3). BABYMETAL DEATH (Legend 1997):* Show closer to your “Headbanger” reaction. Title should give it away.
*4). Maya (Babymetal Begins - Black Night):* From the same 2-day concert as Monochrome, newer song, very heavy.
*5). Amore (Wembley, 2016):* Not necessarily “heavy”. Just an amazing love ballad…except to shreddy AF guitars and non-stop blast beats. Use “Babymetal Reactors Resource” to appease the copyright Gods on this one.
🤘🦊
Screenshotted this and added it to my list. Thank you 🤘🦊🤘
@@ADistortedPerception You’re welcome, look forward to more!
@@ADistortedPerception Oh, I forgot:
Sis Anger - “Black Babymetal”, Yui & Moa duet, while Su takes a break. Arguably one of the heaviest songs from Babymetal.
🤘🦊
Great reaction. You were right about this being an uplifting song taking us from possibly the darkest place where all colour is gone, but reassuring us that "no matter how long the night, the morning will arrive" and finally illuminating the world in rainbow colours.🌈🦊
Definitely one of their slower songs, but a very special one for every audience they play to and Su has all of them help her to "light up this dark, dark world".
I saw 'Rondo of Nightmare' suggested for something different and heavier - live at Budokan Black Night with the 'Mischiefs of the Metal Gods' instrumental intro is the one to go for (it is about 7 minutes long).
I'm going to do Babymetal Death and Rondo of Nightmare next. Those were highly suggested. 🤘🦊🤘
@@ADistortedPerception Excellent, both great choices. 'BABYMETAL Death' live at Legend 1997 will be the one people are hoping you will see ... we will explain what was happening for you, there are two videos for that which you could use, one has subtitles for the intro the other has the translation in the description. It may help a bit with understanding the performance.
'Rondo of Nightmare' is a Su-metal solo song, Yui and Moa were getting a break and a drink of water back stage.
allegedly it's about a girl who sees the A-bomb hit Hiroshima, Su-Metal comes from Hiroshima, she survives but dies at 14, the description of the bomb as a monochrome firework is supposed to be a childs take on the flash of detonation
@@andreww2098 The visuals in the lyric video led people towards the theory on Hiroshima and maybe there is that possibility, but it is almost certainly not that specific. The lyric video was also released (I think) on the anniversary of the firebombing of Tokyo that killed over 100k people, then there is the reference to Ragnarok which would also not make it about Hiroshima.
Emotional but yet uplifting song just makes you feel good. Experienced it 3 times one at Wembley Arena looked impressive but my favourites was the back to back shows at the Roundhouse in London although quite big had a more intimate feel to it . I was very close to stage both nights .
The lights from the phones was amazing 😁🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
Hope they play at Sick New World this year! 🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction, thanks!
Definitely, "Monochrome" is not among their heaviest songs. But I'm always surprised about the tone of those guitars when they play it live.
That was a quite a moment when Su-metal calls Moametal and (specially) Momometal for the first time and on her first concert as a full-fledged member. Previously, Momoko was an "Avenger", a backup dancer without a singing role (and without a metal name, btw), since 2019.
🤘🦊
Monochrome isn't heavy but was a great song. I really enjoyed it. 🤘🦊🤘
The purpose of the long intros is to give the girls a few moments to catch their breath and drink some water before the next song. All of Babymetal's big concerts in Japan are filmed for streaming and BluRay releases, so the video quality is always exceptionally high.
I was at Black Night/Clear Night and it was an incredible performance to be at. The crowd at PIA Arena was 10,000 which is pretty small for a Babymetal headline show in Japan. I consider myself pretty lucky to have been there.
There are some newer songs that are heavier. "Maya" and "Believing" are probably the two heaviest songs on most recent album.
Yeah this was my 3rd ever song, I realized the reason for the intros later in my journey. Thanks for watching 🤘
If you want to hear one of their more heavier stuff check out
1. Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live (highlights the kami band front and center).
Oooooh that sounds fun. I really enjoy the Kami band. 🤘🦊🤘
Also, check out the First Take BABYMETAL Monochrome for a different feel
That is a great reaction! I am of a very old generation, so the first drum sounds like machine gunfire from a helicopter. I've heard a lot of people describe that impression.
In the official music video footage, an umbrella comes swooping down a little after that drum. Those umbrellas look like parachute troops coming to save the world. The "Aogiri Tree" left in the twilight of Ragnarok symbolizes a bright future.
This is a dark world. We want everyone to illuminate it with your light!
I highly recommend watching the official video and the piano version as well.
Thanks for the great comment and thanks for watching. 🤘🦊🤘
Highly recommend their "First Take" version of Monochrome!!!!
You should definitely check out Light and Darkness to hear another amazing vocal performance. It was played during this performance as well.
🤘🦊🤘
🤘🦊🤘

" Just smile "
🤘🦊🤘
Great reaction🤘🦊♪
🤘🦊🤘
Nice reaction. This was their second performance since the covid lockdowns and their extended break. They were performing in a stately manner. Wanted it to feel big for the first concert Momoko was an official member. And during this song we get the first time Momoko is called Momometal. And Su reaches out to her getting her to join Su and Moa in center stage. A show of unity and the new era of Babymetal began at that concert. Very cool and touching. They loosened up during the tour after that. And by the end of the year their kawaii metal was in full swing. Babymetal has never released an album in back to back years. But I'm hoping this year will be different. Especially since Momometal wasn't on their last album. But was on the single they released afterwards Metal!. Now they need to release a new album with Momometal on it. As always just about April first is the day Babymetal has traditionally started announcing things for tours and albums. Yup April Fool's Day. Which in Japan is Fox Day. And amazingly both days have tricks involved. Babymetals not above releasing trick info early in the day. The foxhole is deep and full of surprises
That's very funny that they use April's fool day as their announcement day. Hoping to hear more from the other girls on a new album! 🤘🦊🤘
Thanks, this is my favorite song from TOO.
BABYMETAL love contrasts, so here they matched a more pop sound with darker lyrics, though in the end, Monochrome has a positive message.
Indeed, the song is very likely about civilians caught in a war, living a present time of bombs and death, but already building a future of peace.
You can see, even SU was moved by the end of this performance.
🤘🦊⚡️😊
My comment disappears 😢 Always great reactions 🤘🦊
Don't worry YunaMetal, I can see you.🦊🤘🧡
@@jakemuller8626 Thank you Jake. I always read your wonderful comments 🤘🦊
I see this one, which one disappeared?
@@ADistortedPerception Regarding this song and your reaction, I wrote that I love it, but there may have been words in it that I shouldn't have used.
I'm Japanese and I'm not good at English, so I'm worried if I can understand it well.
Good reaction 🤙Welcome back to the foxhole 🦊🤘 You got your hands full with BM suggestions from everyone else, so I'm going to suggest something different. If you want heavier I'd suggest checking out the band Hanabie and their song WE LOVE SWEETS. They're another all female band out of Japan who just finished their first world tour and have been on a absolute moon mission all last year 🔥🤘
Every Babymetal song is uplifting and positive. they will always make you smile and feel good.
🤘🦊🤘
Yes, Momoko's first appearancr as a real member. At that time she obviously didn't knew how much oower Su and Moa would invest that she feel at home. Quite a difference toher personality at the end of the year. She was suddenly quite cal.m when Moa again changed the script.
Amazing that she became a full fledged member!
@@ADistortedPerception Well, she was an Avenger for a long time and if you observed her behaviour she was extremly concious what her position in this line up meant. Don't get between Moa and Su, if any of them says something against you and you are gone. Normally you would think that this care lassen since she was the only Avenger for several years, but as she demonstrated in her first Day as the third member there was a don't Touch Su order in her head. She only accepted the Touch after Su was ready to follow her across the stage and even Moa signaled her that this is an expected behaviour.
But as we were able to observed over the last year Su and Moa were concious about These problems, so they Designed this Szene in Metali when they forced her into the lead role. And they also demonstrated the correct behaviour when they were interviewen in New York.Moa and Su simply noded supportively in her direction but she had to end her own Statement.
Love this performance and always enjoy seeing folks react to it. Nicely done.
It's okay to not be able to keep up with the captions. Looking into the heart of a star can have that blinding effect.....
🤘🦊🤘
this is my favorite, the machinegun drums and the guitar just hits me right in the feels, goosebums all over..
🤘🦊🤘
👍👍Awesome performance. The voices of angels😇😇😇. 🦊 🖖❤
🤘🦊🤘
Good reaction - there are two other versions of this - both worth looking at. With older stuff you're a bit more likely to see more of the band.
Babymetal - Death seems to be a popular older request. 🤘🦊🤘
It can be a bit left of centre for some ppl - I'd not want it as a first pick for someone maybe not into metal - or with religous sensitvities (it's not tthat way - but I can see why some reactors are somewhat disturbed :P) - but it is good and with awesome crowd participation@@ADistortedPerception
Great reaction mate! Karate is kinda on the heavy side. A good follow up for a comparison would be to react to BABYMETAL - Monochrome - Piano ver. / THE FIRST TAKE. Feels like a completely different song and really showcases Su's voice.
I will check it out 🤘🦊🤘
I've just come back from binging all of your Babymetal reactions 😂😂
If I may suggest two that likely haven't been suggested yet, my personal favourite Shanti Shanti Shanti is amazing live (not the Glastonbury show though, there were audio issues), and Oh! Majinai is very fun live as well!
They are both radically different from most Babymetal songs, I love them!
Thanks for binging all my Babymetal reactions. Much appreciated. I don't think these 2 have been suggested much or if at all. I'll put em on the list. 🤘🦊🤘
@@ADistortedPerception thank you :)
Your reactions are so fun to watch! 😌
nice reaction, glad your enjoying them. if you want to hear Moa/Yui sing , check out any of the 4 BLACK BM songs, my fav is Onedari Daisakusen, but all 4 are good. I'd also suggest watching Catch Me If You Can (with Kami Band Intro) | LIVE at Budokan Black Night and if you want something heavy, maybe try BABYMETAL DEATH - LEGEND 1997.
Babymetal Death is next on my list for sure! 🤘🦊🤘
It's always best to pay attention to the girls first. Understanding of the songs can always come later. My next recommendation would be Megitsune, same concert. If you want to go back in time I recommend Karate at Download 2016.
Exactly the performance is the most intriguing part. I like to watch that over lyrics.
🦊🤘
🤘🦊🤘
should consider Pa Pa Ya, Gimmie Chocolate, and Metali, maybe BxMxC for a rap metal song
They have a rap song?
@@ADistortedPerception 2 actually. iine from when they were still in their early teens trying to figure out where the band was going but its probab more hip hop. BxMxC is more metal though, Su sings it at concerts and as someone whose been to one she kills it
Edit: I was wrong. It's just BxMxC. iine is still to listen to when you see they were more J pop compared to now
I always think it would've been cool if they did something heavier at the end after the break with the lights, but some of their live performances of songs evolve over time, so they always have that option in the future.
Otherwise, this is one of my favourite live performances of theirs. You can sense their genuine emotion and love of what they're doing from start to finish
I was expecting something heavier for sure but that ending was cool too. 🤘🦊🤘
❤❤❤ Epic❤❤❤ SU , Moa and finally Momoko. ❤❤❤ This song is about the bombing of Hiroshima were SU and her family is from. She lost her grandparents that day.
he said i like that a lot in this video and i liked that and so here's a like
I like that
This song has a stripped down piano version that you really should check out as well.
Lots of recommendations for the piano version. Must be great. 🤘🦊🤘
Should have done the lyric video to better understand what it's about.
The only part of the video I didn't like was the drones. You would think they could edit them out.
