日本語字幕を追加しました！そのうちUPされると思います。お楽しみください。
Hi, I've added the Japanese subtitles. Please approve and publish it!
Yeah, I felt the same. I think that every Japanse word consists of vowel sound, English is not, that's why it sounds differently. And SU's singing style fits better with Japanse IMO. Her English skill improved a lot though.

早速拝聴させて頂きました。
ありがとうございました。
完璧です。素晴らしい‼
字幕、本当にありがとうございます。キャリーさん（でいいのかな？）のコメントはずっと気になっていたので大変嬉しいです。
ベビメタ愛の深さでは海外ファンの中でもダントツに思えていたので。何より品の良さがいいですね。
今回のコメントを読んで、ほとんど自分と同じ感想だったので、よけいに嬉しいです。ただのミーハーではないとは思っていましたが。
できれば以前のコメントも訳していただけたら最高です。特にユイメタル脱退の報に涙を流されていたものとか。
ヘッジーさんにはジュンイチさん、キャリーさんにはナオキさんという強い味方ができたと思っていいのかな？
何卒よろしくお願いいたします。
コメントありがとうございます！喜んでもらえて何よりです。時間があるときちょっとずつやっていきます。彼女のコメントは率直でストレートだけどバンドへのリスペクトと愛がありますね。イギリス英語の発音に慣れるいい練習ですし、楽しんでいただければ幸いです。
Naoki Hさん CallieSakuraさんは気合が入るとムグムグと早口になって聞き取りにくくなるので字幕があると助かります。8:09はコーラスラインの英語歌詞を聞き取って『今のは“One day I'm happy, one day I'm a mess (いい日もあれば、めちゃくちゃな日もある)”かしら？歌詞が全部わかる人もいるかもしれないけど、まあよく聞き取れないわね』でしょうか？英語版のコーラスラインは響きは心地よいのですが、CallieSakuraさんも言われるように、日本語版に比べてありふれて聞こえます。天才的な振り付けダンスで強調される魔物が (になって) 這いずり回る針地獄も見えないし、‟お願いこのエレベーターから出して！”の三拍子ドアノックの振り付けとも合いません。現時点ではオリジナルの英語/日本語ミックストラックの方が断然よいと思います。明日からの米国ツアーでどんな形で披露されるのかとても楽しみです。
I think the songwriters got together and said “How can we make a BM version of Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’?” The result is ‘Elevator Girl’. 😐
Best for Babymetal to be themselves. Part of the fun is to learn Japanese. Songs do in fact help out in this.
Most English natives prefer Japanese version while most Japanese people like English version.
It's exotic aspiration. What Lyrics means don't matter but sounding cool is important.
I'm with you on this, Callie. This is almost like some oversimplified-lyrics remix version. I think it's an unwise move. I'm starting to wonder if they thought we were all just too stupid to deal with the original lyrics on this one, or something like that. O.o
They should know full well that they don't have to do a bunch of pandering to us with English lyrics (especially if they're going to change the meaning). I thought _The One_ was a demonstration that they did understand that the language barrier wasn't really a problem.
運営や、kobaはわかってないと思いますよ。外国の方は日本語の妙が興味があると思います。曲は同じで、歌詞だけ当てるのは、はっきり言って手抜きです。それなら、MAN WITH A MISSIONや、ONE OK ROCKのように曲を作ればいいと思います。CDに英語の歌詞カードをつければそれでいいと思います。日本でも、輸入盤は日本語歌詞カードが付いてるだけですよね。日本語に、誇りを持って欲しいです。
外国人が日本語で歌うと変だね。
それと同じ。
日本人が外国語を歌うのも、変になる。
I also had a similar reaction too you! I prefer the original Japanese version.
Hi, I’m Japanese I think it is same experience when we heard European pro singers singing song in Japanese language. 🇯🇵
⚡ 🌸 💕 / 🔼 🔽
I love that we got a video with those killer stage effects, but yeah, they really don't need to dumb the songs down.
And Mikiko's choreography refers to some lyrics that don't appear in this version, which is weird.
Still sounds very much like Su to me, even with the heavy treatment.
I'd love to have an ultimate version with this music, the echo effects, and the Japanese lyrics.
Still, if this gets airplay in the States, that would be pretty great.
Kano again as featured Avenger. She must be ridiculously happy.
And Moa always has the perfect expressions.
While I don't necessarily hate it, I think they went way overboard with it in a rather pointless way. The video, however, is very cool. :)
If they're going after a lot of US mainstream airplay, I think they are very much barking up the wrong tree (and a bit of a dead tree).
Yea they don’t need to sing in English. It threw me for a loop when I heard this version.
Japanese version >>>> English version I prefer the japanese version too but the two are good, just is that one of the beauties of Babymetal is their home language... I speak for me, great reaction Callie!!
Su-metals english is so good and the song is very catchy as well and the guitar riffs are so amazing.
the new bit sounds over-produced. it just sounds off. but still appreciate the effort they made to make another english version of a song for all their international fans.
I'm as English as they come, but prefer all my Japanese artist singing in their mother tongue, I feel anything else is much less.
Struggled with the English chorus too! Couldn't make out what she is singing. It's good though. However, Japanese original has a much better flow in the singing I think.
I'm glad I bought the original version on iTunes (I mostly use Spotify as well but I just loved it THAT much) but when the English version came out, I actually did not find much fault with it! It was interesting, had a bit of fun figuring out the English lyrics, and once I did, I thought the song definitely became more "pop" - it made me think of Taylor Swift and I felt like it could attract pop music listeners. I just wished they would've made a lyric video instead, so that we could understand right away what she is singing and also support their promotions. Maybe I'm able to perceive it this way bc I haven't been following BM super closely but I think that goes to show that this version can and will appeal to new listeners :)
Btw, she IS singing "One day I'm happy, one day I'm a mess" which I love singing along to bc #relatable .
Yes, everything you said ....
I prefer japanese version, but english versión Is good
alexis dominguez what’s the Japanese version? I can’t find it on Apple Music
@@friez2715 you can find on UA-cam
SakuraさんのメガネスタイルがめちゃKawaiiですね👍
いつもイギリスから応援ありがとうございます😄
Lyrics are so different in the Japanese and English version. In Japanese, it is about an elevator operator who use very polite expression to say something surreal. That stark contrast makes the lyrics somewhat "interesting".
I dont think the English version is necessary. We like them because they are Japanese after all. Also to autotune Su is just wrong.
@Iain MacLennan True but not to that degree. They almost made her sound like Miku Hatsune
@Iain MacLennan And it's always been a bad idea.
I do hope they continue to sing mostly in Japanese, even though I understand very little. I get the feeling that this was done to achieve more radio airplay/TV coverage ahead of the U.S tour and bring people to the shows who might have been put off going to see a band singing in anything other than English (don't ask me why that would be, it never did Rammstein any harm).
In my ears, still got the catchy even in English hehehe..
Good content Callie about BABYMETAL, thumb up
I do prefer the original version better, but I really don't mind this English version 😅 I get trying to have a song breakthrough to Western listeners. A lot of people who I've shown BM to usually have 1 common complaint and that they don't understand Japanese. Time will only tell how well it goes down
That impression is cause you been usual to listen the song on Japanese, I'm from Chile, so I speak Spanish and
most of the music I listen to is in English, and when I listen to it in Spanish translated it sounds awful or very different to the original one, but is just a habit. If you
had listened first the english version and then the Japanese you probably say the same of now :D after that I just enjoy the video and see them again
I'm french babymetal's fan ^^
Thanks for your channel I love it!
+1 sub
see you soon
I honestly thought this version was horrible when I first heard it. The weird lack of flow in the chorus. Putting chipmunk affects on Su's voice. Why in God's name would anyone mess with a voice that good?? After i listened to it about 2 or 3 or 500 times I am used to it now so it sounds better. Still liking the Japanese version a LOT better and am still annoyed at the weird tendency to alter her voice in studio versions.
Yes! Auto-tune Su-metal voice like putting 5 dollar paint job on a Lamborghini
BABYMETAL fans who have listened Elevator Girl Japanese version say "I prefer original Japanese version".
People who have never listened Elevator Girl both versions simply say "Good song. I like it".
However I don't care which version is good or not good.
I'm happy if they are having fun to sing a song in English:)
And also I just want to say "SU- & MOA, we BABYMETAL fans pay tribute for your efforts to expand new fan base".
Always enjoy watching your reactions! The English version sounds not bad, but I
also feel more ordinary/boring compared with the original Japanese ones. The
Japanese chorus lines are much visual/descriptive, along with Mikiko-Metal’s
genius choreography, we native Japanese can clearly imagine the needle-floored
hell where we have to crawl around, to where we may go down when we chose a hard way in life. And the three beats knocking the door choreo (please open this door and get me out of here!) just matches the corresponding Japanese line "Tsugi wa Jigoku ni Tomari masu" (Next stops in hell). The original English/Japanese mixed version, I think, is more diverse/versatile for us in projecting ones’ feelings onto the lyrics of this excellent song.
English version lost Kawaii.
Hah, that thumbnail. 😄 Even in English I can't tell all of what she's saying, I don't usually look up lyrics. With other foreign musicians Its a difference in inflection when speaking English I think. I prefer the Japanese of course, but if this makes the radio, then more power to them 👍
Su always i think sounds better without any messing with her voice , which to me is perfect. Wonder if you get this stage in LA.
I will be jealous as hell but happy for the fans in LA 🤘😁🤘
Yeah I prefer the original, it's just better. Making a English version is just trying to appeal to Americans.
Which is kind of stupid because that's not why we loved them in the first place. If it wasn't made clear that this sort of pandering wasn't necessary in the first place, I'm not sure what will get that point across.
@Ookamino They said it said it was a celebration for the upcoming US tour.
Sumetal is the queen of babymetal 👑👑👑👑and Moa who has my age she is the princess of babymetal and for me she is the queen to 👑👑👑👑👑👑👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻And yeah Moa has 21 years old and me to but she birth before me 4 July 1999 and me 22 August 1999 so I can realize one of my idol japanese girls are the same age to me and the same year birth to
Good analysis and commentary as usual, Callie. I thought your thumbnail for the video rather nicely summed it up.
I like both versions the same but I do think they should stick to Japanese. In a way, being Japanese is one of their selling points. If all their songs were English, it just wouldnt be the same. Regardless I'm so excited for the new album
Something like _The One_ which is in English for an integral reason is understandable. If it was that sort of thing, fine, but it's obviously not.
The elevator effects are definitely super cool but this song would be a great opportunity to be their first anime music video. I can see it starting out with the girls boarding a normal looking elevator, Sue presses a button, doors close, Fox God flashes and suddenly the walls disappear - they start falling fast through time and space! They finally land on a stage with the whole band in outer space (Mikio cameo) with all the planets orbiting the background. A galactic fire monster appears and this time Su tells the monster "you're going dddddown - an epic fight takes place during the instrumental solo. Girls win, smile, and go back to performing for the universe. Everyone from all the planets come out to hear them now that it's safe from the galactic fire monster. They keep playing until they warp back up into the elevator from the beginning and get off.
SU metal のEnglishはどうなのかな 上手く伝わってるのかなw
字幕つけましたんで見てみてくださいね
The syllables don't match the tempo. The hits don't land right. It just doesn't fit. However, we get "Life can be such a pain in the butt."
I want to listen to the Japanese lyrics version in this mix lol
Another great Video Callie, a great watch with my morning coffee. I love the English version, I love the Japanese version, wait ??? There is nothing Babymetal has done that I did not love. Going to 2 USA shows, Philadelphia and New York. Can not wait !
Keep the videos coming, your hard work is very appreciated, and so much Fun ! Thank you Callie
Showing Babymetal to non fans and showing them the English version might also give the wrong impression because most of it is not in English. :-)
I don't dislike this version, but I'm really mad they deleted the japanese version from Spotify!
Like most everybody here, I prefer the original Japanese version since that chorus is arguably the catchiest thing I've heard all year. I appreciate them going to the trouble of reaching out to international fans with this version, of course. They managed to find a translation that fits the vocal pattern of the original, but to me the original version is still the tops. I'm none too keen on the video itself because you never get a good look at the girls doing their thing due to all those effects getting in the way, which is part of their appeal (watching their dance moves). Nice try on their part, again, and YES, "Pa Pa Ya" is just amazing!
It's alright, just doesn't have that same flow that we're all used to in the original. Why koba...why.
Its a shame that its so hard to find the original version of the song now, but the english is still very good!
I thought it didn't sound like Su either! I swore at first that they had mixed her vocals with someone else's
the English version is good but the word just sound like have too many stops/ cuts .
on the Japanese version the words feels like flowing water ... Flawless.
I prefer the Japanese version because it’s mixed much better.
Not the same lyrics, whole different song.
だよねー、やっぱり日本語だよねー、日本語でしか出せない味がある。
I think the Japanese version of the song is still available on iTunes, but I do agree that the English lyrics sound out of place. Video is great though.
well, it's her... she's trying hard to speak English... not easy... Su is a BEAST!!!
I like both versions of Elevator Girl. Pa Pa Ya is ok. I love Shanti Overall the Metal Galaxy album is amazing.
The tempo is completely wrong in the chorus when sung in English
Another great review, thanks :)
また、字幕きーーたーーー！
🤣🤣
I can't help but feel like they changed the lyrics because people were saying Elevator Girl was about going down a pit to a firery hell or something similar now the lyrics just seem positive o_o
I believe the Japanese lyrics are explicitly about going down 10,000 levels to hell.
I guess they didn't realize how much songs like _Rondo of Nightmare,_ or _Sis Anger_ are loved. Obviously, the lyrics don't always have to be completely positive and chipper.
I like both versions! :) I'm getting sun and moon so hopefully the Japanese version will be on them.
Same here. It's really easy to find this vid with the Japanese audio too if people are that bothered by it. I think the "pain in the butt" part is funny on the English version. It's cool to have two versions. Sure, we didn't need it but I understand and appreciate why they did it. Not all fans are die-hard and some really appreciate some English parts the same as people appreciate PA PA YA!!'s Thai rap.
@@yuibot5998 I love all the songs that came out

I don't like eng ver😞
I like I guess but not as much as original. Honestly, tho, I don't understand the need for an 'English' version of any of their songs 🤔🤷♂️ and as I've said before : auto-tuning Su-metal's voice is like putting a five dollar paint job on a Lamborghini.
I'll keep my original version already purchased 🤘😊
A dude on reddit swapped the audio back to the Japanese version if this bugs some people. Just look for the channel "Snarky Metal"
Koba has always over-produced the album versions. The album version of Shanti, from the 30 second clip, sounds really disappointing because they turned the guitars waaaay down. And they use computer drums for the album versions...it's just how they do it. Doesn't bother me much, I just grab FLAC's off of blu ray live performances of the songs I like if the album version isn't doing it for me.
I think you have very sensitive ears.
What you felt unnatural about English version might be a cause of Kotodama(Koto=> "word", dama=> "soul" ) inside of Japanese word.
From ancient time, it's said each word has a soul in Japan.
And they said about our country,
"Nation which has the happiness of Kotodama floating here and there."
This is the way of Japanese Shinto's thought.
Most of the pronunciation of Japanese is constructed by clear vowels. And it has been thought the sound of vowels has a secret, and it causes the various phenomenon.
Since Japan's lose of WW2, Shinto dares to be categorized one of religion by force of GHQ, though it was a basic back-bone from the beginning of Japan. And Norito which is almost constructed by vowel has an important meaning on Shinto to make something like a natural power for people.
Like by above, when Su-metal sings in Japanese, every audience might feel something like some power.
And of course, Su-metal's great voice makes Kotodama epic.
thanx!!
We are never getting actual MVs ever again. They know we as a fanbase take anything they throw at us. It sucks but it's true. See ya at the Forum 🤘🦊🤘
Well, when they were doing album version MVs, so many people kept saying "Don't watch the MVs, just watch the live stuff." They made one for _Distortion,_ and there was a lot of "WTF?" about it. While I do agree that they really shine live, I greatly appreciate their MVs as well. Now we're at this point because I guess they listened to those people.
@@0okamino that's because Distortion and Starlight had some random people overacting in a cheesy ass video. We want MVs, but we want Su and Moa in them. Not some actors they got off a Denny's 🤣
Miss Callie!!
Suzuka will be one of the greatest things from Japan to The World!!
She learn english by herself!
She speak basic english, and the big sister Perfume doesn't speak english.
She is a Princess of Heavy Metal!
I also felt really weirded out by it at first, especially because my ear was already so tuned to the original Japanese version, but over time the English version has grown on me. I still prefer the original, but the English version has its own charm for me now.
Would you consider doing reactions to other Bands? My two suggestions would be. The Regrettes & Band-Maid both did the recent Summersonic festival in Japan. Also, Babymetal was my gateway to first hearing about Band-Maid. No problem if they are not your thing.
Pretty obvious why they did that, to make it more radio friendly, but I don't dislike this version at all, probably too much effects in her voice, most likely it will sound way better if she sings it live, though probably they'll stick with the Japanese one.
BTW, I still see both versions at the iTunes store.
Here's the original: music.apple.com/us/album/elevator-girl/1459698081?i=1459698082
'gimme that tea!' - I'm crying
Joe Inoue partially translated the lyrics and that's where you felt weird. He said he wanted the song sound catchy in lives, but it seemed to go wrong for many people lol
thank you, upload!
After getting used to the cadence change in the chorus, I have come to enjoy the English version more. I kind of thought in the Japanese version the chorus seems rushed, like she is trying to cram too many words into it.
beautiful❤
I love your posts. I’ll see the Babymetal concert in Dallas and give you my take. Do you ever listen to K-pop?
Like buena reaccion linda 🤣
As of right now I can still get the Japanese version on Google Play.
Once something is ingrained in your head, a devation from it will never sound as good. Its a learned thing. Also when you speak a different language your voice pitch/intonation will be different between the languages.
It’s not my favorite Babymetal song so its ok to be in English it’s still meh
Yes,I think too!! I don't think this song should be important.
babyMetalが好きなのがすごく伝わります☺
just dump ur bf and move to canada and be with me k

Always more BabyMetal forever! :)
Lol, nice acting! The red bar gave you up (at 0:16), you had already watched it! ;-) Kitsune up, Po!
Yea i filmed that bit after XD
Auto-tuned into a different song...
Not my personal favorite from them
Mmmmm, a bit rubbish is a fair comment. What a shame we couldn't have this video with the original live singing in Japanese. I think the UK release of Metal Galaxy has the English version? As you say though, it is a way to get more people to understand BabyMetal :-)
They're probably going to release a Legend M bluray with the original audio. Actually - not probably, definitely.
@Glynthepin Yes, the international versions of Metal Galaxy will have the English version, the Japanese versions will have the original mixed track. There are also two additional tracks included with the Japanese versions of the album.

What's the point of a English version ?.... AMUSE !!!
@Matt Overdri5 Radio play in the United States during the ramp up to their 20 city US tour.
I've heard from several folks already that have heard this song on the radio, which is very unusual for a BABYMETAL song.
@@rickwagner- Good for Babymetal i suppose.
