Su has become such a boss.
The traditional Japanese instrument is a shamisen which means, literally, three strings.
The spoken voice part is a kabuki (traditional Japanese theater) style interlude performed by Momoko Okazaki aka Momometal, the new official member (since April 1st 2023).
"Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!“ Welcome back, great reaction. You just know the live performances of this will be completely wild and the crowd will go nuts! 🤘🤪🤘(That has already happened).
This is Momometal's first official music video since she was revealed as the official new member in April and she even got her own solo part with the spoken kabuki theatre section.
The song title translates as 'Metali' (or 'Metari') which is a fusion of the words metal and matsuri (festival). The song is about a Metal Village holding a metal festival, so they have included all the matsuri shouts everybody would be calling out as encouragement to the people carrying heavy floats etc like "Sore, Sore", "Dokoisho" and "Wasshoi!".
They are inviting us all to dance - I may have this a bit wrong, but there is something in the lyrics (I think in Momometal's kabuki section) about we are all idiots or fools - the idiots who watch and the idiots who dance ... so as we're all here and we're all idiots why just watch, we may as well all dance.
Thank you! Good to hear from you again. Thank you for all the backstory, that's fascinating. Love this intpretation! Cheers 🤘
@@ThomFoolery1 You're welcome - and it was good to see you back with BABYMETAL again.🦊
Saved my typing fingers agin 😃
_Wasshoi wasshoi!_
_Wasshoi wasshoi!_
Hey man it's been a while, you didn't show up with more BM songs from the new concept album The Other One, hope to see you around with more.
We got another banger for Japanese festival or any festival around, they performed this recently at Summer Sonic and hopefully they will do the same at Blue Ridge Rock, Aftershock or Louder Than Life and get the crowd going nuts with this.
It's their first song released with this new BM reborn and formation.
We heard it before the release because they premiere this at Apocrypha - Another One exclusive show, and someone leaked this on a fancam, it was fun and really unexpected but everyone was having a blast and even started with a Kami Band solo after a while without it.
The song title is Metali!! (metal + matsuri, which is a Japanese festival) and you can hear it in the spoken section when one of them (MomoMetal, the new official member since April) is doing the Kabuki moves style.
Just so you know "wasshoi" is another shout used in Japanese festival when men are carrying the shrine, similar to sore and soya you can hear in Megitsune and Karate. The traditional Japanese instrument you heard in the beginning and throughout the song is a shamizen, also used in Megitsune.
I can totally see why they pick Tom Morello on this, the groove, the catchiness, the super energetic jump and those typical 90's vibes at funk or alternative metal live concerts.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and analysis on this and see you next time.🦊🤘🎸
Hey Jake! Yes it's been a while. I haven't been making reactions as much but I still listen to BM frequently. Still need to catch up with the more recent releases. I'm sure they are tearing up the festival scene these days.
Thanks for the info and all the best! 🤘
Great reaction. About the "WASSHOI WASSHOI ..." chants: At JAPANESE FESTIVALS, you will often see a group of people carry portable shrines on their shoulders. They shout "WASSHOI WASSHOI ... " endlessly as they move about.
Usually they are carried by men, but in respect to BABYMETAL, here is a female group => ua-cam.com/video/dknY49pINvo/v-deo.html
Great reaction. As everyone has mentioned, that instrument is the shamisen. The kokyu is a traditional Chinese instrument🤘🦊♪
Ahh thanks for clearing that up! :)
They're both Japanese instruments, according to quick google/wiki search.
@@mickjt84 Good point. In Japan, the Niko(二胡) instrument is sometimes called a kokyu, but I believe that the instrument generally referred to as a kokyu worldwide is a Chinese instrument. It is very confusing🤘😅
@@kitkat6407 Hmm interesting! Kokyu looks like a Japanese word written in Romaji to me, so it made sense to me that it'd be a Japanese instrument. But as you say, you're talking about what people think of when they refer to a kokyu, so, confusing.
@@mickjt84 Yes, they both have the same two strings and are different instruments called by the same name😄
Wasshoii! 🔥👺🔥
The new permanent third member is MOMO-Metal, Momoko, formally one of the Avengers.
Shamisen is the 3 string lute played in this great song. Wasshoi! is an exultation to encourage, used at cultural festivals and music fests. 🦊🤟🤟🦊
Kokyu is a Chinese musical instrument.The song used in this song is the shamisen, an ancient Japanese stringed instrument.
Hey welcome back, it's been a while, glad that you comeback with their new single.
These girls have a very busy schedule this year with 80+ shows all around the world (Asia, Australia, Europe and US). They will be kicking off the US Tour today with Dethklok in Houston, Texas. also attending some festivals including Aftershock, Blue Ridge Rock and Louder than Life Festival. So this year is lowkey the best time to be a Babymetal fans (The One) 😁
KITSUNE UP!! 🤘🦊
Baby Metal is something special !! Nice reaction ! Please comment on the very emotional performance of 'Voila' by 15-year-old Emma Kok and Andre Rieu and his orchestra. 13 million views in 1 week!!
BabyMetal have been putting the fun into metal for years - much to the anger of the metal purists. 😀
This song reminds me of earlier BabyMetal.
Thank you for your thoughts and analysis. Grington300 comment, has a lot of good info' for you.
BABYMETAL HAS GOT THEIR KAWAII BACK!!! 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome back to the Foxhole. The Koto is a plucked instrument with many strings that sits horizontally, but here I think we have a shamizen as that's the instrument shown at the beginning of the video.
Metali is a fusion of the works "metal" and "matsuri" (summer festival) and the lyrics encourage everyone to dance. They point out that everyone is an idiot and so we might as well be dancing idiots. It's in the tradition of popular Japanese summer festivals that have mass dancing and this is emphasized by the masks that are worn in the video.
The tatami room setting is similar to an early BM video for "Megitsune Official" where they challenged traditional Japanese attitudes to women and in the "Metali" video they also break some Japanese taboos: they are wearing boots on tatami mats, they kick over traditional tea trays, the hands doing Fox God signs break through the screens and Momoko's vocal and dance break is done in kabuki style which is a type of theater usually reserved for men.
Ah shamizen! I guess it's similar to a Kokyu? Anyway, thanks for the info! :D
Welcome back and thanks from Japan 有難う 💛 The traditional Japanese instrument is "Shamisen : Sha･Mi･Sen 三味線" literally meaning "three・taste・string". The title is a synthesized word from two words : "Metal" and "Matsuri 祭 (festival)" → Metali. And if you want to know the deep meaning of the lyrics please check Professor Hartley's channel (Andrew Hartley).
I witnessed this song live twice this month : World premiere (live debut) in a special show and Performance at huge festival "Summer Sonic Tokyo". At the actual venues, this song followed after an intro with Western Kamis' cool instrumental solos. Oh My Buddha! 😍 I got hyped like an idiot in the simplicity of this song. Momometal's extravagant elocution and moves in Kabuki style (and her growl in live show) gave an amazing accent in the exciting repetitiveness. The repetitive わっしょい "Wasshoi" is a call or yell used in Japanese Matsuri (festival). It is a kind of phrase to intensify people's excitement and especially to encourage the power of guys who are carrying a heavy Mikoshi that is similar to a float in Western style festivals.
[FYI : In the festival, BABYMETAL was a closing act after 8 artists. Evanescence performed right before them. I was moved to tears by Amy Lee's "Bring Me To Life".]
Wow, that sounds like an amazing experience! I can only imagine and thank you for explaining "Wasshoi!" I was wondering about that. 😁
I love your reactions. Always thoughtful, informative and just a really good vibe. I can see others have already filled you in on the Babymetal personnel status so I'll just leave it with this. Another delightful reaction. Thanks.
Thank you friend! I appreciate it 😊
WELCOME BACK 🦊🤘🏼
The spoken voice may seem a little odd at first. It’s actually a nod to traditional Kabuki theatre with that unusual speaking melody and exaggerated movements. There are a lot of traditional elements in this song and video, and I love that. I like to see them incorporating their Japanese roots some more.
Yes that makes sense! I agree, so cool the way they blend such a modern metal sound with traditional elements. 🤘
Guti e Eliana por favor sintam-se a vontade para voltar na nossa terrinha. Fico muito feliz que vocês gostaram daqui. Espero que da próxima vez que vcs vierem em Manaus eu consiga ter a honra de ver vocês ❤️
This song reminds me a bit of WagakkiBand, rock with folksy instruments.
Yeah, the dancers they used reminds a lot of Wagakki Band's dancers in songs such as Homura, so cool! 🦊 imagine if someday they give us a collab...
Yes! I totally agree. The shamizen especially. That would be a crazy collab indeed 🤯
@@ThomFoolery1 SU and Suzuhana together would be peak vocals, and I could imagine MOA and MOMO doing shenanigans with the other Wagakki members 😁
I have no idea whether Mr Morello has had any influence on the main song or even play there. Maybe or maybe not. All I know is that he appear at the end with his own thing.
You are wrong :) Shamizen is the instrument! You might have thought of koto. Shamizen is a banjo plucked by a huge plektrum. Koto is a zither, plucked with plektrums on your fingers.
Hey, i just came across ur channel and i love it. I can say, you really feel the music 😎
I would love to see you react to one of my favorite bands "orbit culture". Redfog, nensha, open eye are just a few of their awesome songs.
Greetings from germany 😎🤘🤘🤘

hehe 😂 Hey, at some point I have to give other bands a chance! I still listen to Babymetal all the time and I've seen most of these but I'll save the ones I haven't. Cheers! 🤘
"Hey, at some point I have to give other bands a chance"😂😂😂 I totally agree buddy!! Not that I don't like the music, definitely not... Even more so when Mr Morello shows up to join them! Hail to that man🙏 It's exactly the same with Lovebites; love the music but it's just those singing voices I just can't stand. Makes me curl my toes somehow...😅 Also, I was hopeful Tom had a little vocal contribution, but alas, haha.
But as always, I'm glad you are the one between us who actually knows what he's talking about! 😬😉 Haha
All is well here, hope everything is ok in BC too mate!
Later kerel! 🤘
haha! Yeah it's hard to distribute reactions sometimes. It's fun to go into rabbit holes like I've done for NW and BM but then I feel I'm limiting the channel by not exploring more.
Yeah I can understand that. The vocals can be a deal-breaker for most people. Even if the music is amazing, if the voice isn't your cup of tea, it's hard to hear past it.
Always appreciate your opinion my dude! Take it easy 🤘

People who hate on Babymetal are boring and uneducated.
BABYMETAL HISTORY FROM 2019 TO CURRENT.
Metal Galaxy Era (2019- Feb 2020)
First introduced in 2019 during the Babymetal Arises concert in Yokohama, before the start, the “Avenger” support dancer concept was explained in the lore, and the concept thanks to communication and a maintaining of the 3-member formation brought Babymetal out of dark times brought about during 2018. Babymetal seemed to have returned to its roots with the Avengers, as 2 of the three (Kano and Momoko) come from Sakura Gakuin. The third Riho, went to the same performing arts school as Suzuka during the same time, Actors School Hiroshima aka ASH.

(Avenger confusion)
Which Avenger one sees can be confusing for those new to Babymetal. For the Music Videos, Pa Pa Ya, Elevator Girl, and Shanti Shanti Shanti, it is Kano Fujihira, who was just 14 years old at the time. Da Da Dance is a compilation of Momoko and Riho and a splicing of 2 different shows. In most fan cam videos of the American and European tour it would be either Riho or Momoko, as they toured with Babymetal in 2019. Kano had responsibilities with Sakura Gakuin as its president, a position Suzuka and Moa both held in Sakura Gakuin, and she’s never flown on a plane before.
Some fans for 2019 did throw a stupid temper tantrum over the use of new Kami Band members who are from the west now known as the West Coast Kami Band, but like how the girls won over many, so did they and the payoff with the Legend Metal Galaxy concert in 2020 was well worth it.
COVID Era (Mar 2020 to April 2021)
COIVD-19 has messed up a lot of things for everyone, Babymetal had to cancel their Asian tour, as well their big 10th Anniversary on October 10, 2020. Forced to keep it rather tame something very unlike Babymetal as even in their failures like the entire 2018 tour they do it septically. The question for many fans at the time was what of the Avengers, since COVID, Avenger Riho Sayashi has signed with a new agency and has moved on to other projects, including starting a fan club. Kano Fujihara graduated from Sakura Gakuin on August 30, 2020, a near 4-month delay. However, she and fellow Sakura Gakuin graduates Soyoka Yoshida, Tsugumi Aritomo, and Momoe Mori in the formation of @onefive. Which leaft Momoko Okazaki who is a graduate of Sakura Gakuin in March 2018 would be the last standing Avenger until she would become the new member of Babymetal.

BxMxC (First music video that isn’t footage from a show and featuring Su and Moa since Karate in 2015)
Post 10-year Anniversary/ Covid Era Part 2 (May 2021-September 2022)
The band stepped back from live shows due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and focusing on the sale of Merch. The band spent time working on a new concept album and was never shut down for a hiatus.
Momoko had a very very short stint in a Korean Idol Competition Show called Planet 99. She performed perfectly, better than most of the other girls in the show. She even got the most votes in a small side competition destroying all the other 98 girls in the show in votes. This won her some hair dye (She was blonde for a bit). Ultimately be it dumb BM fans thinking the side competition was the actual competition, how the judging was heavily skewed to Korean voters, the fact that her fate was tied to 2 other girls one Korean and one Chinese, and or possibly ridged voting something the company producing the show has done in the past, Momoko was eliminated in the very first round.
The Other One (October 2022-April 2023)
They have released 5 songs on UA-cam, they performed a show in January 2023 where they performed these new songs leading up to the released of their Album in March with 10 new songs. During January and February shows Su and Moa were supported by Momoko. On April First (Fox Day) Their new show played many new and old songs as well as officially made Momoko Okazaki aka Momometal the official 3rd member. Bringing Babymetal back to a 3-member unit once again. This all kicked off their world tour in touring with Sabaton in Europe then Asia and Australia, and tours in US in the fall and a solo tour in Europe in winter, with a tour finally in Japan in 2024.

The New Era of Babymetal (April 2023-Current)
After doing what Su-Metal described in Interviews as the Training Beginning, Su, Moa, and Momo toured Europe with Sabaton, then had solo tours in Asia and Australia, before returning to Japan and having a few solo shows along with hitting the Summer Sonic and other Festivals in Japan before their major tour in the United States with DETHKLOK in September and a tour in Europe after. They will also be taking a shot break from that tour to go back to Japan and perform with Bring Me the Horizon.
