One of my favorite performances of all time. It's just so beautiful how it seems that Su and Moa are performing for each other. Also, no, Moa wasn't playing the guitar live, although she can play a bit of guitar.
"Is she playing?" I would put it this way: Moa is playing along with the backing track. Although the second time around she had a little less discipline about it. (OK, OK, a lot less discipline about it.) The guitar itself, complete with stand, looks like the guitar Mikio featured in his Trick Box videos. I think there is a lot of wishful thinking or tales that grow in the telling in some of the other comments. I'm pretty sure Kobametal asked if she wanted to play live, but that she demured. Does seem an obvious homage to Mikio in any case. Now if we could just find out about Su, NRNR, and the piano at 10 Babymetal Budokan...
Love to find out about both i think Su may have learnt just a small part of the piano piece like learning a little bit of every language of places they played me thinks Compact DeLorean incident may be a good bit of acting by Su 🤘😉🤘❤
"Shine" is the kind of song I'm falling in love with at first listen. Such a beautiful song and performance. The guitar solo part always gives me "goosebumps". Babymetal's songs are like a collection of Top 1 songs in one album. If we go in-depth to check, they are more than 10 different composers who contribute to the Metal Galaxy album. Very high quality of talents here. Once again, great reaction and comments, Gombers. Thanks.
Great reaction (both, lol), thanks! Definitely one of my favorite songs and performances. Actually I'm so glad to read comments in the same way due I'm a sucker for this one (and many other moments from Legend M). Basically I love all about it. The song, the choreo, Su's vocals, the solo, the part right after the solo, the eye contact... Okay, you get the idea hehe... Standing ovation fully justified :) Looking forward "Arkadia"!
"Every time I think I have a favourite..." Yeah. Get used to it. When people ask which is my favourite I just say whichever song I'm listening to at any given time.
Great reaction to an incredible song. I could have listened to it with you ten more times. Everything is so good about this song. Moa's dancing, the music, the visuals, and of course, Su's voice. She has that way of singing with so much passion and emotion yet never over sells it, even for a moment. The same with Moa's dancing. I will always be impressed with how they do things with such power but are so subdued at the same time.
What an amazing performance. Your right about choreography it tells a story. Since it was for Moa's birthday seeing her getting a moment to shine at the beginning of the song is cool. It was a total surprise to see her by herself on the stage. Moa has mentioned that they felt very connected during this performance. Like they were holding hands as she said. IMO this is the song that made them decide to go on as Babymetal. As Moa has mentioned the relationship between her and Su has gotten stronger. Su has mentioned the growth of the relationship between them as well. Su use to think of herself as the older sister who had to take care of Moa and Yui. Now Yui moved on and Moa is Super Moa. Su no longer is just the older sister role. But Su said she now realizes that Moa is much more of a partner in this. I think it was there all along and she never noticed it. In many of the videos of their interviews you can Su turn and get confirmation from Moa about what she just said. It's even funnier when they start just nodding to each other without saying anything. How could they do this song and not become closer? When they walk off together at the end, That was genius level performance.
This particular song Su-Metal says is very close to her heart. "Shine", the record's penultimate track, is a big-souled six-minutes belter that still manages to be reasonably pared-down by Japanese Kawaii-Metal group's standards - "pared-down" inasmuch as it only features the one guitar solo. Su-Metal recalls clearly the emotions she put in while recording it in the studio, inspired by its message of light and hope, and says it has a power that she's looking forward to sharing with Babymetal fans. The guitar which Moametal plays is a replica if not is one of Mikio Fujioka acoustic guitar 🎸. It represents the Analogy of Mikio Fujioka who passed away and Yuimetal who left Babymetal. Starlight is about remembering, Shine is about acceptance. Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🤟 Kitsune Up 🦊🦊🦊🤘🇯🇵🇸🇬
Great reaction to a special performance of great song. Moa said that there were special guitar picks sold at that concert which was a clue that she’d be playing guitar. Moa is known for having a laugh in interviews. In the end it doesn’t matter if she played or not, it was a beautiful performance.
Su is the perfect vocalist and quite unique. She is one of very few clean ( not growly) singers who has virtually not vibrato in her voice. Clean , sharp and concise. This is what makes her live performances so much better than the studio cuts. Her voice requires no engineering or post production work. Now I wait for ( in my opinion) , the final and best part of the trilogy. And yes, I did cry for all 3. 🦊🦊❤️🦊🦊
This song is currently tied with Akatsuki as my favorite and Legend M version is the absolute best version ever! It is like they packed 10 gallons of emotion into a 1 gallon container which exploded through this performance. I love it!
Yup, it's about time you checked out the Chronicles to see what Su felt about Legend M Shine... She went into fair bit of details describing her feeling about watching and being with Moa during this performance. I swear, if at anytime they held hands together in this performance, the One would've brought the house down with their cheering.
@@gombers Yup, its in Babymetal Reactor Resources. Basically they were talking about their experiences and feelings from their concerts and albums and about each other. Very good stuff.
Quite possibly my favourite BM performance of all time. I've said it before, but I absolutely love that how on their birthday concerts we are the one's who receive the gifts.This song is beautiful and it never fails to give me chills... Thank you for the reaction. 🦊🤘🔥❤️
Shine how it was performed at Legend M in Nagoya is one of the most beautiful performances I've seen in art ever. So emotionally charged. I can watch it twice or thrice and never get tired. And yeah on the guitar. Yes she is playing, Moa knows to play the guitar at amateur level, so she is doing the correct notes in that guitar. Mikio taught her a bit on tours. But that's not what you are listening in the audio. The backtrack that's plugged in the background is a classic guitar played with a pick. They probably were afraid she had not the level to risk the performance in it and just put some professional to do it; Moa's instrument is dance and she is so good at it. For world level content on classic guitar we need the best person who can do it.
If no one has told you, i think you got it right about the trilogy. Starlight is past. Shine is present. Arcadia is future. I heard Shine live at the Forum and it was so good. My first time actually hearing Su's voice and it is so good live. Every Babymetal fan needs to hear them at least once and to experience them once also. Absolutely love this song along with Brand New Day. I can listen to these songs many times and never get tired of it.
This is my favourite version ❤ Su and Moa it is like part of there history Yui leaving because of her health and Mikio passing away all there feelings must of went into this performance. A 3rd person who had not experienced there pain and loss could not portray it with such powerful emotions as they did . Moa's elegant dancing and Su's powerful vocals look at the emotion in Su's face as she sings and the both of them dancing during the guitar solo reminds you how Su loves dancing and is a great dancer just like Moa . Also when you see the guitarists in the background between them just adds to the emotion and as they walk off together ready to move on 🤘 ❤❤🤘 i heard Moa was asked if she wanted to play the guiter piece but turned it down as she thought she had not been practicing enough because she had been concentrating on her dancing if she has it definitely shows in her dancing abilities. 🤘❤🤘
You really nailed it with the emotion of the song, and especially this performance. In interviews they've said that this performance of Shine was when they really decided for certain that they wanted to move ahead as Babymetal despite the trials and losses they had suffered. The intensity between Su and Moa on stage is pretty incredible here because of that. There was a time when they were considering not continuing without Yui. My 100% personal theory of part of what drove them to continue with such powerful determination is that they don't want Yui to feel like her health problems brought down Babymetal. It's certainly what would be on my mind in that situation. They must succeed so that she can live without that regret. There's some things in interviews that I think hint at this, but it's definitely my own head canon.
Great reaction! My favorite song of the trilogy. There was an interview last year where they talked about this performance (this is not from the Chronicles interview, you should check that out as well though🤩): SU: (...)The first time we performed "Shine" was at the 2019 show in Nagoya (LEGEND - M), where only the two of us, MOAMETAL and I, were on stage. Until today I don't forget that "Shine" presentation. How can I say... At that moment we weren't holding hands literally, but it's as if we were holding each other's hands, showing that we would be able to move on.... Between me and MOAMETAL there is already something that you can't see with your eyes. MOAMETAL: (Sign of agreement with head and smile on face) SU: I don't know how to explain it properly but, I feel this "something" with a very strong intensity. In a way this could have been the collection of everything BABYMETAL could offer, or just a beginning, or something inexplicable that doesn't fit this dimension. I can't say for sure, but we had in mind that this would be one of our masterpieces, and at the same time, the realized image of our determination. Translation by @diomatsz
You should check out he album version as well. Su‘s voice is even more beautiful. The first few notes of the first verse bring me to tears instantly. Not because of the sadness, but because of the sheer beauty. It‘s like your ears are being caressed.
How dare you make me cry twice by playing this version twice! ❤❤ Although there is no denying Su's vocals in this one, I believe Moa's performance is epic. One thing new I noticed was Su was looking at Moa quite often, almost like a big sister checking to see if little sister is going to be okay. I'm loving your reactions to The Trilogy of Lights and all of BABYMETAL. You have reached the point that there is no single favourite. There are multiple favourites or favourite of the day because they change depending on various factors. As I said... LOVING IT!! Now onto Arkadia!! 🤘🦊🤘
💙💙💙Shine💙💙💙 As mentioned in the Starlight reaction video, Shine is my top favourite along with Akatsuki ❤️ There's isn't a single time where Shine hasn't made me cry. Now also I cried 😭 Whole song is amazing but the part after the guitar solo is just on another level. Note : Shine is the top favourite of Moa too😍 I'm so eagerly waiting for Queen Su's favourites list. Not sure whether they'll release it ❤️ BABYMETAL ❤️🦊🤘
I cannot say if that guitar is plugged in, however Moa can play some chords and in this case here the guitar is tuned to DADGAD, so she has to put her finger across the bar only. MAYBE its muted, but Mikio taught her a few guitar chords and there's rumors too, that this was actually one of Mikio's guitars. This song gives me shivers always, not only cuz Moa is on guitar but Queen Su never ever sang better (though in her case that's hard to say cuz she always sings awesome)
Su once says during the interview about this performance that "even we didn't holding hand in this performance, it feels like we're holding hand" And "there's something that everyone can't see between Su-metal and Moametal' Both of them truly have a special bonds❤
@@autohmae well Arkadia is my top #1 in my list of all BABYMETAL songs, but it always doesn't feel right when i was listening to Arkadia without Shine... It was a good song to warm up before i moves my whole body to air drumming while listening to Arkadia lol
Our princess of Nagoya can play the guitar for sure but i think this might be for aesthetic reason, just like our quen SuMetal playing the piano recently, still beautiful and the solo dance, oh my heart ❤️ This is at Legend M (MoaMetal's 20st birthday) live concert, she sang Headbanger! (MoaBanger version on that one too), Moa-chan playing the guitar and dancing so elegant and -sexy- is impossible not feeling all the love she irradiates, and now our queen play the piano during NRNR, i wonder if we could see our girls playing some instruments in the future or this is just pure artistic choice, either way, i love them. For me this song talk about the two of them finding each other after such a odd times and MoaMetal is that shine on the road, the light at the end of the tunnel SuMetal needed to keep travelling her road, now boundlessly together ❤️ They performed the full Trilogy Of Light live at The Forum in Los Angeles 11/10/2019 they end up the concert with Shine and Arkadia. They did this several times in more concerts before. Till next time beautiful megitsune 🦊🤘 _LIVINGLEGEND_ _NOTACULT_ _OTFGK_ _10BABYMETALYEARS_
excellent content Gombers-Metal, Koba asked Moa if she wanted to play her guitar live and she said no, probably because that is the guitar that Mikio gave to her while she was taking lessons from him and since his passing, she hasn't practiced like she should, but I have no doubt that she could play this, her left hand was hitting all the notes. As far as the duet aspect goes, they are confirming to each other that they will go on with their journey together. I was lucky enough to witness the third performance of this song in L.A. at the Forum and avenger Riho was with them and it still was emotional.
I don't know if someone else has answered this but that type of guitar doesn't need to be miked. It has a pickup inside of it and can be plugged in. If you look closely you can see as Moa is running her hand along the top of it that there's a place for volume and tone controls
Yep moa does play guitar since she was little. Legend M is Legend Moa, it's her birthday concert (also in that concert moa sings headbanger). As you can see they are mourning with the audience, the song is about acceptance of the lost. The only performance that moa does not smile. RIP Mikio, Goodluck to yui.
To me, I feel from moa’s performance that even though she isn’t clearly smiling, there’s a warmth there as she’s working through the loss of both mikio and Yui.
I caught a bit of shaky fancam from this performance on the night or the day after ... just from that I knew this would be right up among my very favourite songs and performances. I'm impressed with your self control and only watching this one twice.
Shine is my favorite from the trilogy of lights. I think this video is Legend M in 2019. That was a live concert in Nagoya, Moa's hometown and Moa performed with Su- , only two. It seems still to controversial whether the intro guitar is actually playing, but it doesn't matter to me. I think it is very beautiful.
Great reaction, you certainly "got" it. I love this song, it's just a beautiful prog ballad and IMO this is among the very best we have heard of Su so far (she sings it even better at LMG and The Forum, but those performances don't have the emotional weight of having Mikio represented on stage). The Trilogy of Lights is really high level metal, maybe it's not that popular because it has a very serious subject matter, it's not "happy" like most of BABYMETAL songs. Regarding Moa, it doesn't really matter if she was really playing, since we are hearing the backing track. It all adds to this beautiful performance.
The age old question, “Is she really playing?”, no she is not. She does know how to play some guitar, but she isn’t playing right there. Someone in another video broke down how you can tell that it’s not her based on her hand movements and such but I can’t find the comment right now. But yeah, she probably could play it but she isn’t here. Omg the cutaway standing o killed me lmao
Yeah I was watching her strumming and her other hand on the fretboard, and while you can tell she knows how to play, the guitar not being mic’d and the strings not vibrating were some signs for me at least. Lol! Glad you got a laugh out of it hahaha 🤣
Moa plays guitar but talks in an interview of she had difficulties learning the part so they made the chords simpler for her. What you are most likely hearing is Moa playing pre-recorded and playing along live (but we are not hearing her).
Go back and watch this again and focus on Su's eyes. You'll see that for much of the song she is actually singing TO Moa. This performance is the debut of this song and it happened at Legend M, Moa's 20th birthday concert. Su later said she felt this song, in this moment, best symbolized Babymetal as they are now, representing her and Moa as Babymetal, transitioning from what they were, to what they are, fighting through the hardships of the prior year (Mikio dying, Yui leaving, the fan revolt of 2018, etc...). Regardless of the original intent of the song, it now includes all of those meanings. That by itself, along with a master class in song craft, Su's emotional vocals, and the combined emotional dance, makes for a very moving song.
Pausing in a terrible position isn't a problem as long as you rewind a few seconds, otherwise yes, you can totally ruin transitions and feeling of that part (especially since you actually lose like 0.3s~ of actual audio when pausing and resuming). Just a tip :)
From what I know, Moa herself didn't feel confident enough to play that guitar live, because even thought she knows how to play it, she said that she doesn't practice it enough!
This performance is my favourite without a doubt. Moa and Su are able to express so much with their dancing, facial expressions and of course singing. This song always makes me tear up (same as Akastsuki unfinished tbh). Great reaction again!! Oh, and I agree with you, that Moa is not playing the guitar, but it is still an essential part of the performance, at least for me.
👍 👍
My favorite BabyMetal song.
二人の想いと絆が、この絶唱に結実してると思います。あなたの、いつも丁寧に曲にアプローチする姿勢に感銘を受けています。ありがとう。
I love all three of these songs but Shine is probably my favourite - Su's vocal just slays me every time.
You need to see Headbanger Legend M version. BTW Legend M is Moa's birthday show.
One of my favorite performances of all time. It's just so beautiful how it seems that Su and Moa are performing for each other. Also, no, Moa wasn't playing the guitar live, although she can play a bit of guitar.
"Is she playing?"

I've watched the Trilogy a lot today 😁 I can certainly think of worse ways to spend my Sunday ❤ Moa is majestic in this.
Shine how it was performed at Legend M in Nagoya is one of the most beautiful performances I've seen in art ever. So emotionally charged. I can watch it twice or thrice and never get tired.
And yeah on the guitar. Yes she is playing, Moa knows to play the guitar at amateur level, so she is doing the correct notes in that guitar. Mikio taught her a bit on tours.

The most beautiful song by BABYMETAL
Su once says during the interview about this performance that "even we didn't holding hand in this performance, it feels like we're holding hand" And "there's something that everyone can't see between Su-metal and Moametal'
Both of them truly have a special bonds❤
So i think Shine is more focus about Su and Moa, and how they continue to carry BABYMETAL after so many loss...
Indeed it is!
Writes the person who has an other Babymetal song in the name :-)
@@autohmae well Arkadia is my top #1 in my list of all BABYMETAL songs, but it always doesn't feel right when i was listening to Arkadia without Shine... It was a good song to warm up before i moves my whole body to air drumming while listening to Arkadia lol
Our princess of Nagoya can play the guitar for sure but i think this might be for aesthetic reason, just like our quen SuMetal playing the piano recently, still beautiful and the solo dance, oh my heart ❤️
This is at Legend M (MoaMetal's 20st birthday) live concert, she sang Headbanger! (MoaBanger version on that one too), Moa-chan playing the guitar and dancing so elegant and -sexy- is impossible not feeling all the love she irradiates, and now our queen play the piano during NRNR, i wonder if we could see our girls playing some instruments in the future or this is just pure artistic choice, either way, i love them.
For me this song talk about the two of them finding each other after such a odd times and MoaMetal is that shine on the road, the light at the end of the tunnel SuMetal needed to keep travelling her road, now boundlessly together ❤️
They performed the full Trilogy Of Light live at The Forum in Los Angeles 11/10/2019 they end up the concert with Shine and Arkadia. They did this several times in more concerts before.
Till next time beautiful megitsune 🦊🤘

Great reaction. 🤘🏻😎🦊 looking forward to "Arkadia" my fave of the three
Yes you can see the loss as she touches the guitar throughout the song. RIP Mikio our guitar GOD.
excellent content Gombers-Metal, Koba asked Moa if she wanted to play her guitar live and she said no, probably because that is the guitar that Mikio gave to her while she was taking lessons from him and since his passing, she hasn't practiced like she should, but I have no doubt that she could play this, her left hand was hitting all the notes. As far as the duet aspect goes, they are confirming to each other that they will go on with their journey together. I was lucky enough to witness the third performance of this song in L.A. at the Forum and avenger Riho was with them and it still was emotional.
I love watching it twice ! Almost as much as watching it three times ;-)
Babymetal does things only Babymetal can do which is an amazing gift.
Moametal!!!! One of the greatest and emotional songs off Metal Galaxy! 🦊 🦊 🦊
moa was playing the guitar it was miko guitar who sadly lost his life star gazeing
I don't know if someone else has answered this but that type of guitar doesn't need to be miked. It has a pickup inside of it and can be plugged in. If you look closely you can see as Moa is running her hand along the top of it that there's a place for volume and tone controls
Yep moa does play guitar since she was little. Legend M is Legend Moa, it's her birthday concert (also in that concert moa sings headbanger). As you can see they are mourning with the audience, the song is about acceptance of the lost. The only performance that moa does not smile. RIP Mikio, Goodluck to yui.
To me, I feel from moa’s performance that even though she isn’t clearly smiling, there’s a warmth there as she’s working through the loss of both mikio and Yui.
I could watch this performance 100 times in a row. So yes, please watch it again :) 🤘🦊🤘
Probably, Moa had learned playing the guitar by MIKIO…🎸
have a nice weekend
This sounds like Dream Theater type of song!
I caught a bit of shaky fancam from this performance on the night or the day after ... just from that I knew this would be right up among my very favourite songs and performances.
I'm impressed with your self control and only watching this one twice.
Moa can actually play guitar as seen when babymetal played with Rob Halford also Moa has said that she doesn't practice as much as she probably should
Iine!
Line?

Such a beautiful song
Shine is my favorite from the trilogy of lights. I think this video is Legend M in 2019. That was a live concert in Nagoya, Moa's hometown and Moa performed with Su- , only two. It seems still to controversial whether the intro guitar is actually playing, but it doesn't matter to me. I think it is very beautiful.
Great reaction, you certainly "got" it. I love this song, it's just a beautiful prog ballad and IMO this is among the very best we have heard of Su so far (she sings it even better at LMG and The Forum, but those performances don't have the emotional weight of having Mikio represented on stage). The Trilogy of Lights is really high level metal, maybe it's not that popular because it has a very serious subject matter, it's not "happy" like most of BABYMETAL songs.
Regarding Moa, it doesn't really matter if she was really playing, since we are hearing the backing track. It all adds to this beautiful performance.
Thankyou for your reaction👊🏽⚡️twice is nice. One of the best songs ever written and beautifully performed!
The age old question, “Is she really playing?”, no she is not. She does know how to play some guitar, but she isn’t playing right there. Someone in another video broke down how you can tell that it’s not her based on her hand movements and such but I can’t find the comment right now. But yeah, she probably could play it but she isn’t here.
Omg the cutaway standing o killed me lmao
Yeah I was watching her strumming and her other hand on the fretboard, and while you can tell she knows how to play, the guitar not being mic’d and the strings not vibrating were some signs for me at least.
Lol! Glad you got a laugh out of it hahaha 🤣
Moa plays guitar but talks in an interview of she had difficulties learning the part so they made the chords simpler for her. What you are most likely hearing is Moa playing pre-recorded and playing along live (but we are not hearing her).
Go back and watch this again and focus on Su's eyes. You'll see that for much of the song she is actually singing TO Moa. This performance is the debut of this song and it happened at Legend M, Moa's 20th birthday concert. Su later said she felt this song, in this moment, best symbolized Babymetal as they are now, representing her and Moa as Babymetal, transitioning from what they were, to what they are, fighting through the hardships of the prior year (Mikio dying, Yui leaving, the fan revolt of 2018, etc...). Regardless of the original intent of the song, it now includes all of those meanings. That by itself, along with a master class in song craft, Su's emotional vocals, and the combined emotional dance, makes for a very moving song.
Moa really play this but pre-recorded, not live.
not fair, you can watch the songe twice, but i can only upvote once
Upvote and comment it's like giving another upvote 🤘😁🤘
Moa can play piano and guitar even Su and Yui
Pausing in a terrible position isn't a problem as long as you rewind a few seconds, otherwise yes, you can totally ruin transitions and feeling of that part (especially since you actually lose like 0.3s~ of actual audio when pausing and resuming). Just a tip :)
Can you please leave a direct link to the starlight dark Knight carnival video itself please thank you
I reacted to it before BRR channel was taken down. I believe his new channel is up and he’ll be uploading the video again soon.
From what I know, Moa herself didn't feel confident enough to play that guitar live, because even thought she knows how to play it, she said that she doesn't practice it enough!
This performance is my favourite without a doubt. Moa and Su are able to express so much with their dancing, facial expressions and of course singing. This song always makes me tear up (same as Akastsuki unfinished tbh). Great reaction again!! Oh, and I agree with you, that Moa is not playing the guitar, but it is still an essential part of the performance, at least for me.
Agreed! It’s so metaphorical for the performance, this is easily one of my favorite performances of theirs to date. So glad you enjoyed the reaction!
