Some metalheads still maintain their stance that BABYMETAL are just young girls that have been forced into Metal and have no fun in what they are doing. I wonder how an opinion like that can be upheld in light of footage like this. I have hardly ever seen anyone displaying such an amount of contagious joy on stage. I don't understand how anyone can watch this without having a smile on their face. I certainly do, no matter how often I watch it.
They are just awful people. Their version of what the world should be does not include fun. I have listened to metal for 35 years. I would never call myself a metal head. I don't want to be associated with such people. I feel like there is a certain extreme political view that usually goes along with that.
I believe that some are afraid to check out their latest performances because they would have to admit that BABYMETAL is indeed metal (and damn good😉). 🦊 🖖❤
Great reaction. The song was composed by the BABYMETAL team although, as you know already, Herman Li and Sam Totman from DragonForce did the guitar arrangements (it is the only BABYMETAL song they were involved in) and recorded the guitars for the album version. Herman has said they wrote the guitars to be more technical and faster than most of their own songs thinking they would never have to play it live ... and then they had to practice hard when they were asked to play it with BABYMETAL at an awards show in London in 2015. About the song itself - 'Road of Resistance' is a very positive song, it isn't the usual "resist the machine or the system etc" that we might expect from the title. It is about following your dreams, going your own way and forging your own road where no road exists, not necessarily going the easy way or following the path already made by somebody else, so if the way you want to go has never been trodden you may have to get past the resistance of the undergrowth, obstacles, hurdles and things blocking your way etc to find your own way. It could easily be used to describe BABYMETAL's own story - they could have followed the well trodden path of J-Pop and been very successful, but they chose to go with Metal ... but again they didn't just follow the same old format of every other metal band, they have done it their own way and it hasn't always been an easy route to follow. The PIA Arena concerts had the Kami Band of the West (American musicians Chris Kelly and CJ Masciantonio on guitars, Clint Tustin on bass and Anthony Barone on drums). The Kami Band may not get so much camera time for the BluRays and DVDs, but a lot of that is to do with the size of the productions and the stage design, plus the girls being BABYMETAL are the main focus of course and they perform the main visual parts of the shows - everybody at the concerts can see the Kami Band perfectly well and they do get their moments in the spotlight in many concerts with instrumental intros before some songs.
Oh damn, I know SoI guitar player, chris, he also plays in one of my favorite bands: Currents. Also, All That Remains still exists? How does one person even schedule playing for both bands. xD I have so many questions now.
@@kaNjiXIII If there is a concurrent schedule, Anthony will prioritize BM like the previous schedule. And ATR will use their backup drummer. Because maybe Anthony is still bound by contract with BM.
Nice reaction! “Road of Resistance" is one of the iconic songs of BABYMETAL.🤘🦊🎸 “RoR" is a song that gives me courage and strength.🔥 Please keep listening to BABYMETAL!
Among the crowd were not only BabyMetal fans but also KAMI BAND fans. The last time they performed at the Futenma US military base in Japan, fans held signs to celebrate the drummer's birthday. Thanks for your great reaction.
Great reaction and Heman Li and Sam Totman wrote the original guitar arrangements. They also played the guitar tracks on the initial album release. This actually was western musicians. This is known as the Kami Band West and has been Babymetal's touring group for a number of years now. Great job and you've got my sub.
Nice reaction! PIA Arena MM is rather small in size, compared to the "original", Saitama Super Arena, where they recorded the video "BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" in 2015 (!). PIA Arena MM has a capacity of ~12k people, with the big stage it might have been reduced to roughly 10k people. Saitama Super Arena has a capacity of ~22k people. You should see the stage there 😉 Or the stage they used at the Tokyo Dome 😄 Well, "BABYMETAL Begins" was a rather special concert, as it was the concert where they introduced Momometal to us. She was an "Avenger", a backup dancer, filling in the third spot left by Yuimetal (OG member), and was promoted to full member the evening before, after dancing for BABYMETAL since 2019, and being the only "Avenger" left since 2020. There were three of them, the other two are Riho Sayashi and Kano Fujihira. The crowd was so happy to learn that, after a hiatus and fears that BABYMETAL had ended, finally there is a "new" BABYMETAL. You should do a reaction to "BABYMETAL DEATH" from that concert, too! 😉
Actually the PIA is 17k seating as per the arena use as an open area and 10-15k standing, though not all will be in use due to the stage. So the concert was I think 27k
There is no other band like Babymetal. They can try to make an imitator they can try to duplicate them. Fortunately, there is only one Babymetal. Su-metal is a one of a kind
hell yeah, dude! I've listened to and seen this song and its various performances so many times, including live at their DC show a few weeks ago. Still gives me the chills _EVERY_ time! Dragonforce was involved as well. Herman Li and Sam Totman did the guitar parts for the studio recording of this song. This song has been Babymetal's staple show closer since it debuted at the end of 2014 (at O2 Academy Brixton in London). Babymetal definitely showcases the Kami Band quite often --> *YAVA! (Legend MM 2024).* Be sure to do the full version from the "For the Fox God" channel to see the band solos! 🤘🦊
Such a cool song, but I already read a few times that i didn't pick the best version tho. haha It's so cool that they contributed. :) Since there's already 4 of you, I need to do it. :D
@@kaNjiXIII Don't sweat it, dude. Those who said this Road of Resistance "isn't the best version" are "correct" in their own way. Here's what they meant: Many of the fan bases experienced early Babymetal from 10+ years ago, when they were kids. They watched them grow into amazing young adults throughout their careers. Lead Su-metal was 12 at the start of Babymetal in 2010, and tomorrow is her 27th birthday. Thus, a lot of them will want you to see the Jan 2015 *Official Live* version, which is absolutely epic as well. The other half of the fan base feels the "new" Babymetal is the better representation of them today. Especially now that Kami Band West (from this video) is their sole backing band, whereas previously, they primarily had Kami Band East (who are virtuosos) Both are right in their own way, so 🤷♂. If you feel up to it, you can always do a double: 1 older and 1 newer. Or, 1 MV and 1 live for certain songs. Either way, it's up to you how you want to enjoy the journey lol. 🤘🦊
this is absolutely one of their most anthemy songs and very uplifting lyrics! tip: videos from for the fox god have English subtitles available to toggle on if you're interested in the powerful messages babymetal are spreading with their songs🦊🤘
Babymetal rocks and Su-Metal gave a heartfelt message to the fans for the future of Babymetal. That was a real smile. Then a resounding "Arigato" Thank you.
As the other comment already mentioned, they do get attention, but also fans know very well who is who. The most famous of the current guys is: drummer Anthony Barone. He has his own UA-cam channel. for example he has an official playthrough on his channel of Rise of the fearmonger from a band he was active with before.Beneath The Massacre, other bands he was/is involved with: Shadow of Intent, All that Remains. The size of this venue was 10 000 people, Babymetal more often perform at an other venue in Japan which is 20 000 people. They wanted to perform here, to start the new Babymetal, adding their new member, Momoko as Momometal, this is the region where she lives or was born. The biggest venue Babymetal has performed at in Japan is: Tokyo Dome, which is 55 000, that was in 2016, 2 sold out nights in a row. No song was repeated, it's literally all songs from the first 2 albums. But they've also performed at festival in Europe main stage which has even more people.
Great reaction. You should react to Tales Of The Destinies, Syncopation, From Dusk Till Dawn, Brand New Day, Starlight - Shine (Legend M) - Arkadia (Trilogy Of Lights) You can find the videos in the links below For LIVE I suggest using the videos on the Babymetal Reactor Resource ua-cam.com/video/q40VmTHSh4c/v-deo.html There's more information in the description of that video There's also this channel with great-quality videos www.youtube.com/@Hymnodic/videos
@ the best version is the Live in Japan version. It’s truly epic, then the version where The Avengers join Su and Moa on stage along with both the East and West Kami bands
@@kaNjiXIII No you did not f up. This is a good version to react to. It was live sound from a single show, which is what makes the best Babymetal videos. People have different favorites, and you can't be expected to pick everyone's favorite. One of the great things as a fan of Babymetal is they have so many great live videos. Personally I enjoy listening to different concerts of the same song as I get something different from each venue.
I still think it's crazy that some people have such an unique style of writing music, that you can hear it in instruments, with voices it's easier, but with guitars for example..., crazy. :)
HQ Pro Shots of LIVE performances (like the one you just reacted to) are the way to go NOT Official MV's that generally use studio audio over LIVE footage. Band the Real stars? Nope hate to tell you this but even though these are world class musicians that make up the BABYMETAL Tour Band (called the Kami Band) - musicians from the U.S. who are totally devoted to these young ladies because of the ladies talent, work ethic, discipline and high character, they know that there are hundreds literally thousands of musicians in bands all over the world and they would be just one more among the rest without the 3 young ladies and they are more than grateful to be a part. These young ladies have paid their dues since 2010 starting with little money (not even enough to hire a LIVE band but instead had friends dressed up as skeletons pretending to play music over a backtrack and the girls had to borrow clothes from friends and family for performances. Who else does choreography to metal? They performed in strip malls and small venues until they became a phenomenon and their talent production company hired a LIVE band for tours and BABYMETAL literally took over the world. You reacted to the Karate Legend MM performance now take a look how much the UK loves them: Karate LIVE at 2016 Download Festival in the UK where 60,000+ British Metal heads sing along with the girls. No one works harder than these ladies and the music is unique to themselves. in my opinion they are THE best LIVE band on the planet Monochrome LIVE at PIA ARENA 2023 HQ Pro Shot from the For The Fox God channel
This is a great song to finish a concert with................but leaves you wanting more. LOL If you want to see them really enjoying themselves watch the Red Fox (female crowd) concert. Oh and Ratatata MV, they seem to be having a blast with that song.
Hi friends... are you interested in reacting to songs from Baby Metal again? maybe this can be your next list... Trilogy of light consisting of: "Starlight", "Shine" & "Arkadia" ua-cam.com/video/QR_N-Uh7cuk/v-deo.htmlsi=1JeZnyIXpMN_RsUV happy adventure... Stay enthusiastic and healthy always friends...🤘🤘🤘🦊🦊🦊
Thank you for the recommendations, unfortunately their label makes it extremely hard to react to them, because videos get blocked. :( I hope I'll find a better workaround, than with 'Ratatata'.
"That sounds like a Dragonforce riff..." Wonder why? LoL!! And just a quick note, all of the member of the Kami Band in this performance are the "Western Kami Band"...they are all from the United States! The OG Kami Band, or Eastern Kami's, have not played with Babymetal in several years (lot of theories behind that). Thanks for the reaction and as always.... Put your Kitsune UP!!
@@rickwagner- Ok..I didn't give my standard disclaimer about that show..and that other one (not mentioned)..lol. But it still holds true, Eastern Kami's have not been the full time players with Babymetal in Several years.
Yes, I heard hahaha. Just didn't think the DF guys could have something to do with it, but I guess I was wrong. :D Ok, so there is just rumors, in what universe did i get myself into. xD Thank you for your comment.
Good reaction. There is something that is difficult to understand for the Western reactor that approaches BabyMetal. BabyMetal is not a heavy music group, but a group of metal idols. If you don't know everything that surrounds idols in Japan or Asia in general, it is very difficult to understand what you are really seeing. Idols in Asia are mainly linked to Pop (Jpop, Kpop, etc). However, BM was an experiment to fuse pop with metal from an idol perspective. And it worked, boy did it work. Idols have several things in common, regardless of gender. They dance, they sing, they ALWAYS smile and they have amazing control of the audience. Then, about this song and it is a personal opinion, I get the feeling that more than an anthem it is a challenge to all those who called it a joke in bad taste. A song where they indicate that, no matter what they think of them, they will follow their path as they believe they should.
10:20 It isn't just Japanese music. It's a Japanese culture thing i assume. You see the same in Anime where the mood can change very quickly. Or to mix sad and happy together. Possibly the influence of Buddhism. The best example of this is a an anime like Made in Abyss. Made in Abyss is very very cute. And sometimes happy. But genuinely the most horrifying show I've ever seen. I honestly don't recommend it.
There used to be more emphasis on the Kami Band, but Things Happened, and then Things Changed. This was the Western Kami Band, but I prefer the Eastern, at least on this song. You might check out the Official Live in Japan version off camera. More Kami focus. Even more impressive crowd control. It's a must watch. 🤘🦊🤘
Some metalheads still maintain their stance that BABYMETAL are just young girls that have been forced into Metal and have no fun in what they are doing. I wonder how an opinion like that can be upheld in light of footage like this. I have hardly ever seen anyone displaying such an amount of contagious joy on stage.

アイドルだった彼女たちの始まりは確かに「メタルに強制的に参加させられた単なる若い女の子」であったが、彼女たちの真摯な取り組みは、そのプロデューサーの予想を上回る成長を遂げ、遂に大きなブレイクを果たした。
途中、メンバーの脱退や挫折、既存のメタルファンからの批判や蔑みと共に心無い言葉を数多く浴びせられながらも、自分たちの作り上げた独自のスタイルを信じ、挫けることなく努力を重ね続け、その道をひたすら突き進んできたのです。
そして大人になった彼女たちは、「完全なオリジナル」になりました。
実は彼女たちは、日本のメディアではほとんど露出がなく、知らない日本人のほうがはるかに多いのです。
だからこそ我々日本のファンたちは、テレビや既存メディアのコネクションに頼ることなく、世界中に確かなファンダムを築き上げている彼女達を心から誇らしく思います。
Babymetal shows us that metal can be happy, fun and inspiring.
They do.

BabyMetal is not a heavy music group, but a group of metal idols. If you don't know everything that surrounds idols in Japan or Asia in general, it is very difficult to understand what you are really seeing.
Idols in Asia are mainly linked to Pop (Jpop, Kpop, etc). However, BM was an experiment to fuse pop with metal from an idol perspective. And it worked, boy did it work.
Idols have several things in common, regardless of gender. They dance, they sing, they ALWAYS smile and they have amazing control of the audience.
Then, about this song and it is a personal opinion, I get the feeling that more than an anthem it is a challenge to all those who called it a joke in bad taste. A song where they indicate that, no matter what they think of them, they will follow their path as they believe they should.
I'm glad that I at least know that idols exist and that I have a small idea of what it is. :)
Cool way to view that song, thank you for sharing that.
If you want to listen to the musicians react to Rondo of Nightmare, everyone has a solo in that song
Will do, that sounds amazing. :D
10:20 It isn't just Japanese music. It's a Japanese culture thing i assume. You see the same in Anime where the mood can change very quickly. Or to mix sad and happy together. Possibly the influence of Buddhism. The best example of this is a an anime like Made in Abyss. Made in Abyss is very very cute. And sometimes happy. But genuinely the most horrifying show I've ever seen. I honestly don't recommend it.
True, good comparison. Oh my god, Made in Abyss destroyed me, I remember it wasn't finished, but I'm not sure. Well, I saw it xD

There used to be more emphasis on the Kami Band, but Things Happened, and then Things Changed. This was the Western Kami Band, but I prefer the Eastern, at least on this song. You might check out the Official Live in Japan version off camera. More Kami focus. Even more impressive crowd control. It's a must watch. 🤘🦊🤘
I really didn't expect so much lore when I started with Babymetal, I guess I need to study them. :D Thank you for your comment.
you should check out their older version from Japan :) i like it way more than the PIA one
Heard that a lot, I thought PIA was in Japan. (:
Live japan version with kamiband more better
I heard that before, maybe I'll try it. :D
