Thank you guys for helping me out on this one! I totally forgot that the girls were MUCH more younger when they started out - thus, their vocals were very different back in the days. I totally forgot that and it makes sense why they sounded more mature in this song! My apologies.
In Japan, the culture is for females to talk and sing in a higher register than normal. I’m sure they think a lot of our culture is weird too. Dancing to music is also part of their culture even though most people don’t dance to metal music. In Japan, it’s part of their culture. That’s probably why I like their music so much because I like weird things anyway things out of the ordinary. Here’s a link to Frank Zappa apostrophe. You don’t have to react to it just listen to it. This is my kind of music. Weird. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/oF9aJUePkNA/v-deo.html
Thanks for giving them another chance despite being reluctantly to their high pitch vocals, they certainly grew up a lot and SuMetal the lead vocalist learned a lot of vocals techniques, including more low tones on certain songs and some vibratos, you probably heard some of their album tracks when the high pitch is even more noticeable, that's why we always try to recommend live performance when those vocals arrangements or post production are minimal and you can hear their raw vocals and the blaster sound of the Kami Band playing behind. BM fans love honest critics without being disrespectful, so don't worry, we know BM songs isn't for everybody, but at same it is for everybody, oxymoron i know. And btw i know Utada Hikaru too and some others jpop singers and artists i used to love back then, but BM isn't necessarily always related to anime stuff and they certainly got their own unique trademark unlike any other previous japanese group. Divine Attack - Shingeki marks their return after a year of hiatus with a new single and new upcoming album, as well they return to live performance showing another BM side we've never seen before, one of the greatest news on here was SuMetal being credited on the lyrics for the first time. We're waiting for 4 more singles before album release next year, and just like Herman Li said, they probably got better songs to be release, so far this one is a banger and got everyone hooked from the get go, so hopefully we'll see you around later this month for more BM. My recommendation is to go for some more Metal Galaxy songs, latest album, probably those will be more keen on you, since they got more mature sound. Songs like Kagerou with Kami Band intro live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020, or the Trilogy Of Lights with Starlight, Shine and Arkadia will hit you in a different way, hopefully. Thanks again for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘
The lack of vibrato is one of the things that makes Su's voice so good. Vibrato does not spice up the sound, its an annoying sound like nails on a chalk board. I hear enough vibrato from church ladies on Sunday mornings. That's just my opinion on it. I have no interest in anime either and it always annoys me when people make that comparison with Babymetal. It's one of those things where people see anything Japanese and immediately think anime without thinking. As if that's all Japan is, one big anime show. Obviously since the girls were very young at their beginning, they will sound like kids. They were kids. Now they're pushing the mid 20s so will sound more mature. Babymetal is very different from everything else out there so certainly not everyone is gonna be on board with it. In your case, I think you put up a wall against it because Japan reminds you of anime so you were going to dislike it no matter what. It's something we all do with other bands and genres. I know I'm guilty of it.
Let's try this for starters and see how you react and take it from there: BABYMETAL | Kagerou (with Kami Band Intro) | LIVE Compilation (HQ) ua-cam.com/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/v-deo.html As noted, it's a compilation with video edited together from several live performances to one live show audio, but it's very well done. Fun fact, the temporary name of this song was Tattoo, so I think it's fate! Hopefully you won't be in pain again when you listen to it. 😆
i will have to say this is a more mature Babymetal. what you had heard was probably when they were young. remember Babymetal started when they were 12 and 11 years old. yes most of the beginning stuff is kawaii but after that they have started to get away from it some. they still have their own style. glad at least you came back to listen to the new stuff. they will be releasing 4 more songs each month til March next year when the new album comes out. your opinion is ok. to me i want a reactor to be honest. Babymetal is not for everybody. what band is.
Welcome back to the Foxhole! 🤘🦊🤘 As has been mentioned below, you probably wont like most of what is on the first 2 albums as the girls were younger and had the higher pitched voices, although the 4 Su-metal solo songs ("Rondo of Nightmare", "Akatsuki", "No Rain, No Rainbow" and "Amore") might be palatable as Su does tend to use a little lower range on those. Many of the songs on the third album "Metal Galaxy" do have a more mature sound, so you might enjoy those. Yui Mizuno had left the group for health reasons before Metal Galaxy was recorded, so you only have Moa's backup vocals and harmonies, which have improved and matured as well. At the end if this video you see "THE OTHER ONE" which will be the title of the upcoming concept album where each song represents a different universe's version of Babymetal (yes, their producer Koba is banking on the popularity of multiverses in recent pop culture and cinema, hopefully it works). I will second the recommendations of the Trilogy of Lights, "Starlight", "Shine" and "Arkadia" as well as "Distortion" (If nothing else, you should like Alissa White-Gluz's vocals on the backing track) 🔥🔥🔥
Well... The high-pitched vocals weren't high-pitched because of a pursued anime stereotype but because they were very young. They started twelve (12!) years ago when they were 11 respectively 12 years old! Surprisingly, now that they are older, they have much more mature voices... ;-) However: This is the first forerunner of their new (their fourth) studio album "The Other ONE" (a concept album) which they will release in March next year.
Well, that was honest. I always find it odd when someone say it sounds like anime to me. Mostly because anime has been using metal in their soundtracks for a long time. So, it should be anime soundtracks sound like metal. Yeah, Su doesn't sound like someone imitating a low roaring lion. I find that good and the metal genre needed it badly. As far as vibrato goes that will come naturally as she gets older. Making it even better than those who learned to do it at a young age and then end up sounding like billy goats. I love that fact that she can go right to a note and hold it. She'll learn the rest as she goes a long. Su seems to be a very good music student. And has been studying singing from a very early age. And as far as I know has never stopped. I would love to see her get a master class from Floor Jenson. But hey that's a whole lot of folks. Babymetal every song is different and yet retains an overall Babymetal sound to it. A big part of that is Su's vocal power. Which she has been ranked in the top 10 as one of the best singers in metal. I hear your opinion, but it might be high time to reassess what you consider a good vocalist. As for me I studied music and have a degree in music. I've delt with lots of singers and their egos over the years. For me she's a way better than just good singer. She's humble and knowns her limits. She held a song off their first album because she felt she wasn't ready to record it. When she sang the song live and saw folks crying in the audience, she knew she had done the song right and was ready to record it. Imagine a teenager telling a record company no like that. But Su did. That alone makes her better than many others. Finally. Su is going to be 25 on dec 20th. Her voice has matured so that young high voice is over with. She's a soprano so her voice will at least for now be in the high register. But she can hit the low notes and has songs where she does. still not growly growls. But actual low notes. Now to the song. As the first song off the new album due out in March. It does its job. Adds some new elements Like Su's mature vocals and she got shared writing credits for this song. Which is also new. she said she wanted to be a singer song writer and now she is. The song got the fan base pumped up. And I've seen tons of new reactors cover the song. Most like it. Babymetal has won over new fans with the release of one song. Job done. But they hide one of the things they're known for and that's the choreography they do with their songs. Are they going to do something else for these songs? We shall find out when they perform live for the first time since lockdowns in January. Babymetal everything you ever wanted in music and somethings you didn't know you needed.
Really appreciate your honest reaction. Don't be scared giving your honest opinion, we all have preferences in music and about everything. We just don't tolerate when people insult or disrespect them in any way. So, being respectful is the key. The "anime" thing is just a very recurrent stereotype and I believe we will never get over it. They started very young, being 11 and 12 and they had naturally high pitch voices. They are all grown up now (Moa is 23 and Suzuka 24 about to turn 25 in December). So their voices have matured and they improved their singing abilities and technique.
Thank you for your understanding ❤️ I totally forgot the fact that they started out as literal children, and that is the reason for those high pitches. So those early songs are probably the ones I remember!
Being a Metal fan since the begaining got fed up with what i regarded as Metal mainstream harsh vocals and nearly everyone growled. BabyMetal came along and i was hooked good clean vocals and excellent musicianship . They become the rebels forging there own path against what people said what metal should be . Think you probably find some BabyMetal songs you will like, once the chorus and melodies get stuck in your head . Nice reaction respectful and honest 😁🤘🦊🤘
Good reaction. Most of the songs that you have probably heard from Babymetal are very likely to belong to his earliest stage and you have to take into account that Su was around 15 or 17 years old, so his voice was still in a mature phase. Today, at 24, her voice is very different and just as wonderful.
Good honest reaction, that's all we ever really want. I've never watched anime so I have no idea what the music might sound like other than it is Japanese - none of BABYMETAL's own songs have ever been used in anime to the best of my knowledge. I do suspect you only heard studio recordings / album versions of their more well known songs like 'Gimme Chocolate' or 'Karate' to think that everything they might do is so high pitched since those do start off with the younger girls, Yuimetal and Moametal, chanting ... and they were very young when those were recorded, so their voices were those of very young (and very small) Japanese girls. On top of that their vocals are always over-processed and compressed in the studio recordings which made them sound even more squeaky than they really were. Su-metal, the lead vocalist, on the other hand - personally I can't get enough of her voice (again always best heard live for the same reasons). You said you prefer more vibrato ... for me it is the fact that she sings strong, straight notes that sets her apart (and for me above) so many other vocalists who just overdo the vibrato - so much so that I often wonder if they are doing it because they can't hold a note. Too much vibrato and it feels like they are just losing the melody. Of course we all have our own preferences and different things please our ears. I'd had more than enough of growling and screamo vocals, every other singer and every other band sounded alike and they seemed to be releasing whole albums of songs that all sounded the same, so I had reverted to just listening to my old favourites from when I was younger and easier to please. When I discovered BABYMETAL they were like a breath of fresh air. Good clean vocals, great instrumentals, no two songs alike - and they were completely unlike anything else I'd ever heard, nothing stereotypical whatsoever, just new, original and unique. There is a very good chance you will never see or hear what I do in BABYMETAL and that is absolutely fine. You gave them a chance, you like what you like and you know what you don't like. There are a load of very talented and very good bands that do nothing for me - I can see and respect why they are popular and why people love them, they're just not my thing and the same may well always be so for you with BABYMETAL. If you are tempted to see if there is anything else they do that you may like better Jake Muller has provided some good suggestions ... those songs may appeal, they may grow on you after all - and if not, again no problem and we will only applaud you for trying.🦊🤘
Su has done some vibrato in some songs, check out Ijeme Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere, her live singing ability with intense choreography is always out of this world, amazingly phenomenal. Their live production is hung and incredible too, me personally think that they are the most epic live performance band in the world.
It took me three years to start liking BABYMETAL. Now I’m older and I can’t relate to the anguish in most metal music. It’s just me. I like music that’s inspirational and makes me happy and BABYMETAL does that. It’s not a cookie cutter band. Every song sounds different.
Hi Micha, thanks for challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone and giving BABYMETAL another try! Appreciate your balanced reaction and honest review, walking us through your thought process of what you liked and didn't like so we know where you're coming from. Hopefully this will help us guide you to songs of theirs you will enjoy. And it's cool to hear that you were into other Japanese artists like Hikaru Utada and especially surprised about Tatsuro Yamashita! Will be interesting to hear what songs others will suggest given this info. Not sure what songs of BABYMETAL you've heard but I'm pretty sure one of them was Gimmie Chocolate given your description of "high-pitched" and anime. They were definitely younger then and so the higher pitched voices are kind of to be expected, especially from Yui-metal and Moa-metal, and can take some time to acclimate to (some longer than others). But even then, I never felt that Su-metal (the lead singer in the middle with mic in hand) for the most part was high-pitched (though she can definitely go high in certain songs). You're right, she doesn't use much vibrato which I also initially thought made her voice "plain" but the more I heard her sing, the more I grew to appreciate her powerful clean vocals and just how well they paired with the heavy instrumentation. Now I just absolutely love her voice. I hope you'll grow to enjoy it, too, and I'm glad you're open to hearing more from them. You might not like all their songs but I think you'll like at least a few. Their catalog is eclectic and range in many metal and musical styles. Oh, and also fun fact: Amaranthe opened for BABYMETAL back in 2019. Sleep Token as well!
Than you for the comment! Honesty is what I take pride in, I don't want to like everything for views, but still be respectful when I don't like something. I absolutely love Tatsuro, amazing groovy songs. Still listen to him! Haven't heard Utada's songs in a while, but still remember the lyrics to some songs and sing along. I definitely have to give Babymetal another chance, I was left curious enough now that it wasn't so high pitched as I was expecting! I can understand how the music grows on you. That was my experience with Spiritbox in the first place, wasn't so keen on them but now I love them. What song would you recommend me to listen to?
I think maybe you are just listening to the wrong songs. They have some more serious songs that are less cutesy. You should try out distortion, starlight, brand new day, kagerou, Akatsuki, rondo of nightmare, road of resistance. I suggest watching live performances. That's where they really shine.
I am sorry, for someone in the process of transferring themselves into a literal caricature, it is hard to take your criticisms of them being too anime seriously, Just so you know Anime means animation it is simply the Japanese word for cartoon, in Japan Mickey Mouse is Anime, Southpark is Anime, the Little Mermaid is Anime, Japanese Anime is a representation of Japanese culture, not the other way around, I think this distinction is often lost on Americans who seem to think that Japanese people all cosplay as Anime characters when really it is the Anime artists imitating Japanese people and culture in their drawings. It is ok to not like their singing, I guess actual singing is a new thing for you as modern metal bands have guys who cannot sing front their bands, but back in my day when metal first came on the scene metal bands did have people who could sing front the band most of who surprise surprise all sang with high pitches to their voices.
I'm very sorry you got a bit upset. I can understand using stereotypical stuff to describe what I was hearing isn't correct. It's not always easy to search for the correct terms on the spot, as english isn't my native language. But I will try to not go for stereotypes and rather not comment, if I don't know how to say things correctly. My apologies! ❤️ You are correct with that the word "anime" actually means. But in a daily reference and specifically in english, people understand that you are talking about Japanese animation in particular, even if the word describes animation overall. In Japan they refer to all animations as "anime", but outside Japan it is mostly known as Japanese animation. So I'd say the use of this word in the same expression happens around the world. It is so strongly connected to Japan. It is true that in Japanese anime they imitate Japanese culture a lot, I have my favourite anime movies and the culture is very present. But also the characteristic art style is very recognisable from other drawing styles. For example from the West. Just as Disney has a very distinct style. It really depends on the artist, the studio, the creators... But as said, there is not one style for Japanese anime, there are many, but they share a lot of similar attributes in their drawing styles and characters which make them very recognisable. These are just honest reactions, and I respect your comments to the highest. I cannot please everyone and I take pride in not liking all bands for views and praising comments. I try to be as respectful as possible 🙌🏼 I'm sorry you feel like "actual singing" is new to me. I have no reason to compare modern day metal to the old days. Things change and evolve. We are in an era where musicians are extremely talented and I don't want to belittle that. Obviously musicians were talented back then as well. There are super shitty singers in modern bands as much as there are super shitty singers back in the days. It's just a matter of opinions. Personally I do not compare music/bands who are from two very different eras. Just the technology and possibilities have changed so much that it's an uneven comparison.
Not my favorite of the Su-metal solo songsn (prefer "Akatsuki" and "Amore"), but in this instance, a very good recommendation for a perspective of Su's vocal range.
BabyMetal isn’t for everyone. That’s ok. They wouldn’t be BabyMetal if they’re for everyone. As talented as the Kami Band members are, it’s a total package deal.
I use a lot of vibrato when I sing. If I don't, my poor singing will be exposed. SU-METAL's singing in songs like "Shine" and "From Dusk Till Down" will make you feel the pure joy of listening to music, beyond likes and dislikes.
Please tell me not to respond! I’m respectful of everyone, but I have my own opinion. From someone with multiple family members in one musical Hall of Fame, or another, I understand the history of vibrato. You are correct in that it is used by lesser talents to cover their inadequacies. While in do like it in moderation today, the fact is it’s still crutch. I love Su-Metals clean, pure voice. Best in the world.
@@michelm.6033 Ever since she was a child, Ms. Su never sang with a cheap vibrato. I think this sincere way of singing shows her personality. You may know more about Japanese singers than I do. Even I know that Lisa is a great singer, but I can't help but compare her voice with Su. In my opinion, she is not far behind Su either. Well, but I think so because of my strong feeling for Su.
@@kitkat6407 I strongly doubt I have your knowledge of Japanese singers, or your talent. I just love Su’s vocals and LiSA is another favorite of mine. I hope I didn’t offend you in any way. I have a wide taste in music. It might surprise you from these comments, but I also like Yuko Suzuhana from Wagakki band. I enjoy the traditional style of her vocals.
@@michelm.6033I was never offended. I am sorry for the way I wrote it, as I always do. I am sorry. I have always thought that Yuko Suzuhana's singing style is in contrast to that of Su. While she uses the traditional Japanese style of singing with extreme vibrato, her voice is well suited to pop music. Glad to hear you always enjoy Japanese music.😄🤘
If your knuckles hurt it may be due to all the backhanded compliments you gave. If all you remember are high pitched poppy singing by the second album they were phasing it out and the third album was a lot more mature. I hope you listen more to Babymetal and in particular the trilogy of lights. Forgive me if I sounded to harsh but text is hard on nuance. Much love from UK Tiddlyhoo pip pip
Babymetal always been have both serious, less "Kawaii" stuffs along super "Kawaii" stuffs early on, they contrast really well and each song could be a completely different feel/style. This one is definitely one more seriously matured side. If you check out Road of Resistance (official) 2015, Akatsuki... they have an incredible live vocalist
Good reaction, pretty much any honest reaction with a proper review is a good reaction. Thank you ! I fully understand why you might not like certain things Babymetal does. Did you know Amaranthe opened for Babymetal in 2019 ? The other opening band was Sleep Token, Babymetal was thus the main band. It was in Brixton Academy, London, UK. Of the reviews I've seen from the press journalists or Babymetal fans: those who liked Sleep Token didn't like Amaranthe and those who liked Amaranthe didn't like Sleep Token. Just like you don't like Babymetal that much for obvious reasons. It was quiet interesting to see how split people were on these 2 opening bands. 🙂
Thank you! I really want to keep my reactions as honest as possible, but in a respectful way ❤️ Very interesting, I would never have guessed that Sleep Token for example would be opening for Babymetal! Amaranthe is slightly closer but still very different. What a combo!
@@michareacts you might also not guess what band Babymetal opened the most for: Red Hot Chili Peppers in the US and UK. Other examples Babymetal opened for: Metallica ones in South Korea, Guns N Roses in Japan, Korn and Stone Sour in the US. Other examples that opened for Babymetal: Avatar and The Hu in the US, Dream State and SKYND in Europe... and more.
The funny thing about vibrato is that most singers have to use it and can't hold a steady note. The producer says she is a very rare vocalist that can sing without using vibrato. So actually, you got used to "normal" singers that need vibrato that it became what you just expected. She also does not have to swing up to her notes, she hits the note with no swelling up to a note. I never really thought about it until a few vocal coaches and people brought it up. It sounded so odd to me at first because 95% of the singers are actually poorly trained.
That is very true my friend! I tend to naturally have quite a strong vibrato and I once was in a band where they asked me to sing without it, and it was really hard! So that is a very good point! It takes skills to do it that way too. And probably if I heard SuMetal use more vibrato in Babymetal it would sound off, so I can understand that the straight forward clean note hitting is very fitting for this music!
Only one singer really .. Su Metal does most of the main vocals with the occasional backing by Moa Metal .. Yui Metal left back at the end of 2017 .. fun fact, Su wrote the lyrics to this song
@@michareacts yes .. typically the "cutsie" vocals are coming from the other 2 girls (when it was the 3 girls, like in Gimme Chocolate, Ijime Dame Zettai or Karate) .. Su is the powerhouse .. please check out BxMxC because Su raps the whole song
Thank you for expressing why you didn't enjoy Su's vocals in a respectful and non annoying way, it was a fun reaction to watch. As for some good ones, I'd recommend "Arkadia" ( live) if you like power metal, or "Tales of the Destinies" ( official audio ) if you like progressive metal. You are still not going to be a great fan of vocals, but they should be manageable, maybe even enjoyable at times, but these two are just amazing instrumentally.
no caso de baby metal nao é uma banda de anime mas entendo sua reação por elas terem começado muito cedo com vozes diferentes porem na verdade é um genero proprio com jrock jpop e metal ^^ e por curiosidade esse album foi escrito por su metal a vocalista ^^ e participação de moa metal ^^
I get that people tend to say it's "anime" because of the cuteness, story-like theatric, and it's Japanese... But having heard/watched a lot of Anime stuffs - Babymetal only have a few songs that really sound like anime music, they go much more extreme into heaviness or cuteness or even both.
Yes, this exactly! Japanese pop culture is very influenced by cutsie stuff in a lot of ways so that stereotype is quite strong. Surely there is so much more to Japan and Japanese culture, but unfortunately that stereotype gives a strong misconception of what there is to offer.
Thank you for reacting to Babymetal they will be coming out with a new song each month except for December until March when the new album is released look for new songs around the 20th of each month also bands to check out Hanabie their song We love sweets Nemophila their song dissension Band Maid their song domination Gacharic spin their song I wish I also Japanese band Penicillin they have been around for 30 years and have several videos to choose from also Crack6 which is basically penicillin but without their lead singer but with guitarist on vocals instead they also have numerous songs you can check out the girls and Babymetal have grown up a lot they are now Su-metal 24 will be 25 in December and Moametal 23 will be 24 in July they have matured a lot over the years and have grown out of the cutesy image that they once had and now showing more of their maturity please check out their new songs as they are released over the next few months thank you
Didn't you hear what she said? She did not like their child high pitched voices and you recommending her performance there Su is only 14. It does not make any sense, you your brain.
@@pajmic666 then she can listen to the first half of the video then where's there no singing...release your stress brother, it was just a recommendation....it's not life or death...thanks for the comment
It's perfectly fine to not like high pitched girls vocals. Especially as a girl. As a straight guy I like girls voices :) No such thing as too feminine as far as I'm concerned.
Rather than making offensive substantiation, it would be better to simply say that I hate this band. I get irrationally offended when people say "anime" and I don't want vibrato, because Su does have a modest vibrato at key points and BABYMETAL has never been involved in anime.
I understand, but please know that these are just opinions and we have our own ❤️ I did not mean it in an offensive way and as a singer myself, I tend to focus on vocals. It is not a question of facts, but of preferences ❤️ I'm not a native english speaker so I might not always use the absolute correct terms. I don't hate the band so that's why I don't say that.
@@michareacts>>> I am Japanese, so the nuance may change when I go through translation software. I apologize for that. Thank you for your reply nonetheless. In Japan, vibrato used to be favored in popular songs, but it made the expression overly emotional and old-fashioned. Su sings in Megitsune in a Japanese enka style, which may be an example of emotional expression that is different from vibrato as well.

Thank you guys for helping me out on this one! I totally forgot that the girls were MUCH more younger when they started out - thus, their vocals were very different back in the days. I totally forgot that and it makes sense why they sounded more mature in this song! My apologies.
In Japan, the culture is for females to talk and sing in a higher register than normal. I’m sure they think a lot of our culture is weird too. Dancing to music is also part of their culture even though most people don’t dance to metal music. In Japan, it’s part of their culture. That’s probably why I like their music so much because I like weird things anyway things out of the ordinary. Here’s a link to Frank Zappa apostrophe. You don’t have to react to it just listen to it. This is my kind of music. Weird. Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/oF9aJUePkNA/v-deo.html
Thanks for giving them another chance despite being reluctantly to their high pitch vocals, they certainly grew up a lot and SuMetal the lead vocalist learned a lot of vocals techniques, including more low tones on certain songs and some vibratos, you probably heard some of their album tracks when the high pitch is even more noticeable, that's why we always try to recommend live performance when those vocals arrangements or post production are minimal and you can hear their raw vocals and the blaster sound of the Kami Band playing behind.
BM fans love honest critics without being disrespectful, so don't worry, we know BM songs isn't for everybody, but at same it is for everybody, oxymoron i know. And btw i know Utada Hikaru too and some others jpop singers and artists i used to love back then, but BM isn't necessarily always related to anime stuff and they certainly got their own unique trademark unlike any other previous japanese group.
Divine Attack - Shingeki marks their return after a year of hiatus with a new single and new upcoming album, as well they return to live performance showing another BM side we've never seen before, one of the greatest news on here was SuMetal being credited on the lyrics for the first time.
We're waiting for 4 more singles before album release next year, and just like Herman Li said, they probably got better songs to be release, so far this one is a banger and got everyone hooked from the get go, so hopefully we'll see you around later this month for more BM.
My recommendation is to go for some more Metal Galaxy songs, latest album, probably those will be more keen on you, since they got more mature sound. Songs like Kagerou with Kami Band intro live at Legend Metal Galaxy 2020, or the Trilogy Of Lights with Starlight, Shine and Arkadia will hit you in a different way, hopefully.
Thanks again for sharing this and see you next time 🦊🤘
The lack of vibrato is one of the things that makes Su's voice so good. Vibrato does not spice up the sound, its an annoying sound like nails on a chalk board. I hear enough vibrato from church ladies on Sunday mornings. That's just my opinion on it.
I have no interest in anime either and it always annoys me when people make that comparison with Babymetal. It's one of those things where people see anything Japanese and immediately think anime without thinking. As if that's all Japan is, one big anime show.
Obviously since the girls were very young at their beginning, they will sound like kids. They were kids. Now they're pushing the mid 20s so will sound more mature.
Babymetal is very different from everything else out there so certainly not everyone is gonna be on board with it. In your case, I think you put up a wall against it because Japan reminds you of anime so you were going to dislike it no matter what. It's something we all do with other bands and genres. I know I'm guilty of it.
Let's try this for starters and see how you react and take it from there:
BABYMETAL | Kagerou (with Kami Band Intro) | LIVE Compilation (HQ)
ua-cam.com/video/Hg3QsPI3x1M/v-deo.html
As noted, it's a compilation with video edited together from several live performances to one live show audio, but it's very well done.
Fun fact, the temporary name of this song was Tattoo, so I think it's fate! Hopefully you won't be in pain again when you listen to it. 😆
i will have to say this is a more mature Babymetal. what you had heard was probably when they were young. remember Babymetal started when they were 12 and 11 years old. yes most of the beginning stuff is kawaii but after that they have started to get away from it some. they still have their own style. glad at least you came back to listen to the new stuff. they will be releasing 4 more songs each month til March next year when the new album comes out. your opinion is ok. to me i want a reactor to be honest. Babymetal is not for everybody. what band is.
Welcome back to the Foxhole! 🤘🦊🤘
As has been mentioned below, you probably wont like most of what is on the first 2 albums as the girls were younger and had the higher pitched voices, although the 4 Su-metal solo songs ("Rondo of Nightmare", "Akatsuki", "No Rain, No Rainbow" and "Amore") might be palatable as Su does tend to use a little lower range on those. Many of the songs on the third album "Metal Galaxy" do have a more mature sound, so you might enjoy those. Yui Mizuno had left the group for health reasons before Metal Galaxy was recorded, so you only have Moa's backup vocals and harmonies, which have improved and matured as well.
At the end if this video you see "THE OTHER ONE" which will be the title of the upcoming concept album where each song represents a different universe's version of Babymetal (yes, their producer Koba is banking on the popularity of multiverses in recent pop culture and cinema, hopefully it works).
I will second the recommendations of the Trilogy of Lights, "Starlight", "Shine" and "Arkadia" as well as "Distortion" (If nothing else, you should like Alissa White-Gluz's vocals on the backing track) 🔥🔥🔥
Well... The high-pitched vocals weren't high-pitched because of a pursued anime stereotype but because they were very young. They started twelve (12!) years ago when they were 11 respectively 12 years old! Surprisingly, now that they are older, they have much more mature voices... ;-)
However: This is the first forerunner of their new (their fourth) studio album "The Other ONE" (a concept album) which they will release in March next year.
Well, that was honest. I always find it odd when someone say it sounds like anime to me. Mostly because anime has been using metal in their soundtracks for a long time. So, it should be anime soundtracks sound like metal. Yeah, Su doesn't sound like someone imitating a low roaring lion. I find that good and the metal genre needed it badly. As far as vibrato goes that will come naturally as she gets older. Making it even better than those who learned to do it at a young age and then end up sounding like billy goats. I love that fact that she can go right to a note and hold it. She'll learn the rest as she goes a long. Su seems to be a very good music student. And has been studying singing from a very early age. And as far as I know has never stopped. I would love to see her get a master class from Floor Jenson. But hey that's a whole lot of folks. Babymetal every song is different and yet retains an overall Babymetal sound to it. A big part of that is Su's vocal power. Which she has been ranked in the top 10 as one of the best singers in metal. I hear your opinion, but it might be high time to reassess what you consider a good vocalist. As for me I studied music and have a degree in music. I've delt with lots of singers and their egos over the years. For me she's a way better than just good singer. She's humble and knowns her limits. She held a song off their first album because she felt she wasn't ready to record it. When she sang the song live and saw folks crying in the audience, she knew she had done the song right and was ready to record it. Imagine a teenager telling a record company no like that. But Su did. That alone makes her better than many others. Finally. Su is going to be 25 on dec 20th. Her voice has matured so that young high voice is over with. She's a soprano so her voice will at least for now be in the high register. But she can hit the low notes and has songs where she does. still not growly growls. But actual low notes. Now to the song. As the first song off the new album due out in March. It does its job. Adds some new elements Like Su's mature vocals and she got shared writing credits for this song. Which is also new. she said she wanted to be a singer song writer and now she is. The song got the fan base pumped up. And I've seen tons of new reactors cover the song. Most like it. Babymetal has won over new fans with the release of one song. Job done. But they hide one of the things they're known for and that's the choreography they do with their songs. Are they going to do something else for these songs? We shall find out when they perform live for the first time since lockdowns in January. Babymetal everything you ever wanted in music and somethings you didn't know you needed.
Really appreciate your honest reaction.
Don't be scared giving your honest opinion, we all have preferences in music and about everything. We just don't tolerate when people insult or disrespect them in any way. So, being respectful is the key.
The "anime" thing is just a very recurrent stereotype and I believe we will never get over it. They started very young, being 11 and 12 and they had naturally high pitch voices. They are all grown up now (Moa is 23 and Suzuka 24 about to turn 25 in December). So their voices have matured and they improved their singing abilities and technique.
Thank you for your understanding ❤️ I totally forgot the fact that they started out as literal children, and that is the reason for those high pitches. So those early songs are probably the ones I remember!
Being a Metal fan since the begaining got fed up with what i regarded as Metal mainstream harsh vocals and nearly everyone growled. BabyMetal came along and i was hooked good clean vocals and excellent musicianship .
They become the rebels forging there own path against what people said what metal should be . Think you probably find some BabyMetal songs you will like, once the chorus and melodies get stuck in your head .
Nice reaction respectful and honest 😁🤘🦊🤘
Good reaction. Most of the songs that you have probably heard from Babymetal are very likely to belong to his earliest stage and you have to take into account that Su was around 15 or 17 years old, so his voice was still in a mature phase. Today, at 24, her voice is very different and just as wonderful.
Good honest reaction, that's all we ever really want. I've never watched anime so I have no idea what the music might sound like other than it is Japanese - none of BABYMETAL's own songs have ever been used in anime to the best of my knowledge.
I do suspect you only heard studio recordings / album versions of their more well known songs like 'Gimme Chocolate' or 'Karate' to think that everything they might do is so high pitched since those do start off with the younger girls, Yuimetal and Moametal, chanting ... and they were very young when those were recorded, so their voices were those of very young (and very small) Japanese girls.
On top of that their vocals are always over-processed and compressed in the studio recordings which made them sound even more squeaky than they really were.
Su-metal, the lead vocalist, on the other hand - personally I can't get enough of her voice (again always best heard live for the same reasons). You said you prefer more vibrato ... for me it is the fact that she sings strong, straight notes that sets her apart (and for me above) so many other vocalists who just overdo the vibrato - so much so that I often wonder if they are doing it because they can't hold a note. Too much vibrato and it feels like they are just losing the melody.
Of course we all have our own preferences and different things please our ears.
I'd had more than enough of growling and screamo vocals, every other singer and every other band sounded alike and they seemed to be releasing whole albums of songs that all sounded the same, so I had reverted to just listening to my old favourites from when I was younger and easier to please.
When I discovered BABYMETAL they were like a breath of fresh air. Good clean vocals, great instrumentals, no two songs alike - and they were completely unlike anything else I'd ever heard, nothing stereotypical whatsoever, just new, original and unique.
There is a very good chance you will never see or hear what I do in BABYMETAL and that is absolutely fine. You gave them a chance, you like what you like and you know what you don't like. There are a load of very talented and very good bands that do nothing for me - I can see and respect why they are popular and why people love them, they're just not my thing and the same may well always be so for you with BABYMETAL.
If you are tempted to see if there is anything else they do that you may like better Jake Muller has provided some good suggestions ... those songs may appeal, they may grow on you after all - and if not, again no problem and we will only applaud you for trying.🦊🤘
Su has done some vibrato in some songs, check out Ijeme Dame Zettai live at Sonisphere, her live singing ability with intense choreography is always out of this world, amazingly phenomenal.
Their live production is hung and incredible too, me personally think that they are the most epic live performance band in the world.
It took me three years to start liking BABYMETAL. Now I’m older and I can’t relate to the anguish in most metal music. It’s just me. I like music that’s inspirational and makes me happy and BABYMETAL does that. It’s not a cookie cutter band. Every song sounds different.
I can definitely understand that it might take a while to let the band grow on you, but once it hits, it really hits! So cool!
Same!
Hi Micha, thanks for challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone and giving BABYMETAL another try! Appreciate your balanced reaction and honest review, walking us through your thought process of what you liked and didn't like so we know where you're coming from. Hopefully this will help us guide you to songs of theirs you will enjoy. And it's cool to hear that you were into other Japanese artists like Hikaru Utada and especially surprised about Tatsuro Yamashita! Will be interesting to hear what songs others will suggest given this info.
Not sure what songs of BABYMETAL you've heard but I'm pretty sure one of them was Gimmie Chocolate given your description of "high-pitched" and anime. They were definitely younger then and so the higher pitched voices are kind of to be expected, especially from Yui-metal and Moa-metal, and can take some time to acclimate to (some longer than others).
But even then, I never felt that Su-metal (the lead singer in the middle with mic in hand) for the most part was high-pitched (though she can definitely go high in certain songs). You're right, she doesn't use much vibrato which I also initially thought made her voice "plain" but the more I heard her sing, the more I grew to appreciate her powerful clean vocals and just how well they paired with the heavy instrumentation. Now I just absolutely love her voice. I hope you'll grow to enjoy it, too, and I'm glad you're open to hearing more from them. You might not like all their songs but I think you'll like at least a few. Their catalog is eclectic and range in many metal and musical styles.
Oh, and also fun fact: Amaranthe opened for BABYMETAL back in 2019. Sleep Token as well!
Than you for the comment! Honesty is what I take pride in, I don't want to like everything for views, but still be respectful when I don't like something.
I absolutely love Tatsuro, amazing groovy songs. Still listen to him! Haven't heard Utada's songs in a while, but still remember the lyrics to some songs and sing along.
I definitely have to give Babymetal another chance, I was left curious enough now that it wasn't so high pitched as I was expecting! I can understand how the music grows on you. That was my experience with Spiritbox in the first place, wasn't so keen on them but now I love them.
What song would you recommend me to listen to?
I think maybe you are just listening to the wrong songs. They have some more serious songs that are less cutesy. You should try out distortion, starlight, brand new day, kagerou, Akatsuki, rondo of nightmare, road of resistance. I suggest watching live performances. That's where they really shine.
Probably very true! Thank you for the suggestions, I wouldn't know how to find the correct songs 🔥
🤘🦊🤘
I am sorry, for someone in the process of transferring themselves into a literal caricature, it is hard to take your criticisms of them being too anime seriously, Just so you know Anime means animation it is simply the Japanese word for cartoon, in Japan Mickey Mouse is Anime, Southpark is Anime, the Little Mermaid is Anime, Japanese Anime is a representation of Japanese culture, not the other way around, I think this distinction is often lost on Americans who seem to think that Japanese people all cosplay as Anime characters when really it is the Anime artists imitating Japanese people and culture in their drawings. It is ok to not like their singing, I guess actual singing is a new thing for you as modern metal bands have guys who cannot sing front their bands, but back in my day when metal first came on the scene metal bands did have people who could sing front the band most of who surprise surprise all sang with high pitches to their voices.
For example: Rob Halford of Judas Priest. Rob performed "Painkiller" and "Breaking the Law" with Babymetal.
I'm very sorry you got a bit upset. I can understand using stereotypical stuff to describe what I was hearing isn't correct. It's not always easy to search for the correct terms on the spot, as english isn't my native language. But I will try to not go for stereotypes and rather not comment, if I don't know how to say things correctly. My apologies! ❤️ You are correct with that the word "anime" actually means. But in a daily reference and specifically in english, people understand that you are talking about Japanese animation in particular, even if the word describes animation overall. In Japan they refer to all animations as "anime", but outside Japan it is mostly known as Japanese animation.
So I'd say the use of this word in the same expression happens around the world. It is so strongly connected to Japan. It is true that in Japanese anime they imitate Japanese culture a lot, I have my favourite anime movies and the culture is very present. But also the characteristic art style is very recognisable from other drawing styles. For example from the West. Just as Disney has a very distinct style. It really depends on the artist, the studio, the creators... But as said, there is not one style for Japanese anime, there are many, but they share a lot of similar attributes in their drawing styles and characters which make them very recognisable.
These are just honest reactions, and I respect your comments to the highest. I cannot please everyone and I take pride in not liking all bands for views and praising comments. I try to be as respectful as possible 🙌🏼
I'm sorry you feel like "actual singing" is new to me. I have no reason to compare modern day metal to the old days. Things change and evolve. We are in an era where musicians are extremely talented and I don't want to belittle that. Obviously musicians were talented back then as well. There are super shitty singers in modern bands as much as there are super shitty singers back in the days. It's just a matter of opinions. Personally I do not compare music/bands who are from two very different eras. Just the technology and possibilities have changed so much that it's an uneven comparison.
Try out Babymetal - Rondo Of nightmare :)
Not my favorite of the Su-metal solo songsn (prefer "Akatsuki" and "Amore"), but in this instance, a very good recommendation for a perspective of Su's vocal range.
BabyMetal isn’t for everyone. That’s ok. They wouldn’t be BabyMetal if they’re for everyone. As talented as the Kami Band members are, it’s a total package deal.
I use a lot of vibrato when I sing. If I don't, my poor singing will be exposed.
SU-METAL's singing in songs like "Shine" and "From Dusk Till Down" will make you feel the pure joy of listening to music, beyond likes and dislikes.
Please tell me not to respond! I’m respectful of everyone, but I have my own opinion. From someone with multiple family members in one musical Hall of Fame, or another, I understand the history of vibrato. You are correct in that it is used by lesser talents to cover their inadequacies. While in do like it in moderation today, the fact is it’s still crutch. I love Su-Metals clean, pure voice. Best in the world.
Post Script (PS) - I still haven’t watched a single anime episode, although I enjoy LiSA and Uru. They have a clean voice!
@@michelm.6033 Ever since she was a child, Ms. Su never sang with a cheap vibrato. I think this sincere way of singing shows her personality.
You may know more about Japanese singers than I do. Even I know that Lisa is a great singer, but I can't help but compare her voice with Su. In my opinion, she is not far behind Su either. Well, but I think so because of my strong feeling for Su.
@@kitkat6407 I strongly doubt I have your knowledge of Japanese singers, or your talent. I just love Su’s vocals and LiSA is another favorite of mine. I hope I didn’t offend you in any way.
I have a wide taste in music. It might surprise you from these comments, but I also like Yuko Suzuhana from Wagakki band. I enjoy the traditional style of her vocals.
@@michelm.6033I was never offended. I am sorry for the way I wrote it, as I always do. I am sorry.
I have always thought that Yuko Suzuhana's singing style is in contrast to that of Su. While she uses the traditional Japanese style of singing with extreme vibrato, her voice is well suited to pop music. Glad to hear you always enjoy Japanese music.😄🤘
8:25 the uniqueness of Su vocal is the straight up clean, no vibrato, you'll feel it more if you hear her singing live
If your knuckles hurt it may be due to all the backhanded compliments you gave.
If all you remember are high pitched poppy singing by the second album they were phasing it out and the third album was a lot more mature.
I hope you listen more to Babymetal and in particular the trilogy of lights.
Forgive me if I sounded to harsh but text is hard on nuance.
Much love from UK
Tiddlyhoo pip pip
Goodbye Kawaii metal, welcome to mature Babymetal and it's awesome.
Babymetal always been have both serious, less "Kawaii" stuffs along super "Kawaii" stuffs early on, they contrast really well and each song could be a completely different feel/style. This one is definitely one more seriously matured side.
If you check out Road of Resistance (official) 2015, Akatsuki... they have an incredible live vocalist
try to listen Babymetal - Amore
Good reaction, pretty much any honest reaction with a proper review is a good reaction. Thank you !
I fully understand why you might not like certain things Babymetal does.
Did you know Amaranthe opened for Babymetal in 2019 ? The other opening band was Sleep Token, Babymetal was thus the main band. It was in Brixton Academy, London, UK.
Of the reviews I've seen from the press journalists or Babymetal fans: those who liked Sleep Token didn't like Amaranthe and those who liked Amaranthe didn't like Sleep Token. Just like you don't like Babymetal that much for obvious reasons. It was quiet interesting to see how split people were on these 2 opening bands. 🙂
Thank you! I really want to keep my reactions as honest as possible, but in a respectful way ❤️
Very interesting, I would never have guessed that Sleep Token for example would be opening for Babymetal! Amaranthe is slightly closer but still very different. What a combo!
@@michareacts you might also not guess what band Babymetal opened the most for: Red Hot Chili Peppers in the US and UK. Other examples Babymetal opened for: Metallica ones in South Korea, Guns N Roses in Japan, Korn and Stone Sour in the US. Other examples that opened for Babymetal: Avatar and The Hu in the US, Dream State and SKYND in Europe... and more.
Hey Micha, no need to apologize for your preferences, a lot of people are turned off by the vocals. It's just a taste thing.
The girls are maturing in voice and age .
Damn micha you trying to be completely covered in ink lol
For Vibrato,
Definitely Su can do that, but she said too hard Singing Vibrato in the Speed Tempo
But you can watch the Live Version of the other Song
The funny thing about vibrato is that most singers have to use it and can't hold a steady note. The producer says she is a very rare vocalist that can sing without using vibrato. So actually, you got used to "normal" singers that need vibrato that it became what you just expected. She also does not have to swing up to her notes, she hits the note with no swelling up to a note. I never really thought about it until a few vocal coaches and people brought it up. It sounded so odd to me at first because 95% of the singers are actually poorly trained.
That is very true my friend! I tend to naturally have quite a strong vibrato and I once was in a band where they asked me to sing without it, and it was really hard! So that is a very good point! It takes skills to do it that way too. And probably if I heard SuMetal use more vibrato in Babymetal it would sound off, so I can understand that the straight forward clean note hitting is very fitting for this music!
Only one singer really .. Su Metal does most of the main vocals with the occasional backing by Moa Metal .. Yui Metal left back at the end of 2017 .. fun fact, Su wrote the lyrics to this song
Oh really! Didn't know that, I thought they all sang together. Interesting!
@@michareacts yes .. typically the "cutsie" vocals are coming from the other 2 girls (when it was the 3 girls, like in Gimme Chocolate, Ijime Dame Zettai or Karate) .. Su is the powerhouse .. please check out BxMxC because Su raps the whole song

Thank you for expressing why you didn't enjoy Su's vocals in a respectful and non annoying way, it was a fun reaction to watch.
As for some good ones, I'd recommend "Arkadia" ( live) if you like power metal, or "Tales of the Destinies" ( official audio ) if you like progressive metal.
You are still not going to be a great fan of vocals, but they should be manageable, maybe even enjoyable at times, but these two are just amazing instrumentally.
You just need to listen & watch more Babymetal live performance.
Great honest reaction❤️
no caso de baby metal nao é uma banda de anime mas entendo sua reação por elas terem começado muito cedo com vozes diferentes porem na verdade é um genero proprio com jrock jpop e metal ^^ e por curiosidade esse album foi escrito por su metal a vocalista ^^ e participação de moa metal ^^
Great reaction Micha not a huge baby metal fan as a whole but this was cool
I get that people tend to say it's "anime" because of the cuteness, story-like theatric, and it's Japanese... But having heard/watched a lot of Anime stuffs - Babymetal only have a few songs that really sound like anime music, they go much more extreme into heaviness or cuteness or even both.
Yes, this exactly! Japanese pop culture is very influenced by cutsie stuff in a lot of ways so that stereotype is quite strong. Surely there is so much more to Japan and Japanese culture, but unfortunately that stereotype gives a strong misconception of what there is to offer.
live version de baby metal sao realmente melhores ^^
Thank you for reacting to Babymetal they will be coming out with a new song each month except for December until March when the new album is released look for new songs around the 20th of each month also bands to check out Hanabie their song We love sweets Nemophila their song dissension Band Maid their song domination Gacharic spin their song I wish I also Japanese band Penicillin they have been around for 30 years and have several videos to choose from also Crack6 which is basically penicillin but without their lead singer but with guitarist on vocals instead they also have numerous songs you can check out the girls and Babymetal have grown up a lot they are now Su-metal 24 will be 25 in December and Moametal 23 will be 24 in July they have matured a lot over the years and have grown out of the cutesy image that they once had and now showing more of their maturity please check out their new songs as they are released over the next few months thank you
You want their heavy stuff....listen to Rondo of nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro Budokan live
Didn't you hear what she said? She did not like their child high pitched voices and you recommending her performance there Su is only 14. It does not make any sense, you your brain.
@@pajmic666 then she can listen to the first half of the video then where's there no singing...release your stress brother, it was just a recommendation....it's not life or death...thanks for the comment
It's perfectly fine to not like high pitched girls vocals. Especially as a girl. As a straight guy I like girls voices :) No such thing as too feminine as far as I'm concerned.
Rather than making offensive substantiation, it would be better to simply say that I hate this band. I get irrationally offended when people say "anime" and I don't want vibrato, because Su does have a modest vibrato at key points and BABYMETAL has never been involved in anime.
I understand, but please know that these are just opinions and we have our own ❤️ I did not mean it in an offensive way and as a singer myself, I tend to focus on vocals. It is not a question of facts, but of preferences ❤️ I'm not a native english speaker so I might not always use the absolute correct terms. I don't hate the band so that's why I don't say that.
@@michareacts>>> I am Japanese, so the nuance may change when I go through translation software. I apologize for that. Thank you for your reply nonetheless.
In Japan, vibrato used to be favored in popular songs, but it made the expression overly emotional and old-fashioned. Su sings in Megitsune in a Japanese enka style, which may be an example of emotional expression that is different from vibrato as well.
Damn!
Beautiful piece, beautiful lady!🖤
Thank you ❤
