They say Su-metal was born with a microphone in her hand, and she sang instead of crying. She is super intense on stage. Her choreographer says she is crazy. She just feels the music. The show is Legend 1997, which is the year she was born. The show was in 2013.
Su-Metal's so-called death stare is actually the burning gaze of Alexander the Great, which seems to peer into your very soul. Queen Su has a couple other things in common with the mighty Macedonian conqueror. First, there is her self-avowed desire to conquer the world, albeit in her case through music. Then there is the story about a much earlier performance at Saitama Super Arena in 2008. Back then Su was the youngest member of a pop/idol trio called Keren Girl's. Having never played such a large venue before. the two older girls were naturally a bit nervous about it. Su on the other hand was so confident that she decided to take a nap before the show, and slept so soundly someone had to go wake her. The first time I read this story it actually gave me a chill because there is an eerily similar story told about Alexander before the Battle of Gaugamela. It was then that I realized what is so special about Su-Metal. She possesses that intangible something that is the spark of greatness. That might help to explain how such a young girl can exert so total command over her vast legions of fans.
It's a rare day when I don't cry to a Babymetal song. When I started listening to heavy metal 40 odd yrs ago, I never thought a band could be cute and adorable and make want to cry.
It dosen't mattet how many reactions or time i actully watch this video. I always gives me chills and emotional. I wish I could be there in that crowd.
This is from the Legend of 1997 concert, the legend is Su-Metal and 1997 is her birth year. The song is about a 15yo girl going to her first metal concert, not about Su as when they recorded and made the official MV Su was 14 and Yui and Moa were 12. Su has one of the greatest and scariest Death Stares. Keep in mind they go at this pace pretty much an entire concert.
OMG 🥺 thank u for letting us know... that is sad... may he rest in peace and the girl recover soon. You know, as children what they were doing is quite brutal. Even more so in the extremely demanding Japanese entertainment business... if she decides to live a calmer life I will not blame her. This is not for everyone, what. matters is that she tried.
@Mike Mike No she really was sick and has had a few injuries. But Yui wanted more time to play the guitar and try new things. But she took Mikio Fujioka death pretty hard as he was kind of a mentor. Girls work their asses off and frankly I'm surprised they were able to come back after that.
I’ve been privileged to see Babymetal live in concert seven times and it’s an experience every time. They’re amazing. If you like the way they interact with the audience in this one, you should definitely watch the Road of Resistance live in Japan video. It’s the finale song for most of their shows and it’s huge. Listen for the “we are...... Babymetal” call and response at the end and the “see youuuu” as they leave the stage.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘 Little by little, those new synapses are forming. Soon they will create BABYMETAL receptors in your brain, and there will be no turning back. : ) That was the third song of a five song encore with the live Kami Band. Shout out to the Kamis! Guitarists that night were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus, with BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums. I was thrilled when they brought this song back for the 2019 tour, and I finally got to hear it live at the LA Forum.
Rick Wagner : It took me only 5 minutes until BM music spawned my synapses in my brain and created receptors everywhere in my body 😄 。 BTW, as you know BABYMETAL is going to hold 6 concerts next week and in February. Although Band Maid cancelled their concert (for their first time at Budokan), Wagakki Band did on January 3 & 4 and other concerts have still been held including yesterday (Jan. 15). As long as no emergency occurs, the 1st concert on Jan.19 will take place as scheduled and so will 2nd one on the following day. I will try to make a quick report to you after the event finishes.
You want to see just how good the band is (called the Kami band).. watch Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Gods Intro. They are some of the finest musicans in Japan. And yes SU-METAL has a legendary death stare. As for the audience - I have stood in the pit and jumped, screamed, swung my towel and sung my heart out. Their fans as insanely passionate and enthusiastic - yet also seriously the nicest and kindest fans I ever met. I can tell you BABYMETAL ALWAYS give 100% when they perform - they never coast, never have an off night, never just turn up. They work hard from the first to the last second to give the very best performance they can.
GREAT REACTION! The girls and band go HARD on EVERY song, minus the 1 or 2 ballads that they usually perform, and their concerts are about 1.5 hours long. Su-metal, the lead singer, can jump around and dance choreography without messing up a single note. BTW, this concert celebrates Su-metal's 16th birthday back in 2013. The concert is called "Legend 1997" where 1997 is the year she was born. I hope you two react to more BABYMETAL songs. Each song is different and fun to watch.
Great reaction Su has the most lethal death glare. Also if you continue she’ll take your soul. The concert was filmed December 2013 it was Su’s 16th birthday 1997 was her birth. The band backing them are the kamiband (god band) unfortunately one of the girls Yui isn’t in Babymetal anymore she left due to health issues so in later videos where their outfits change and they look older although there’s another girl Su and Moa are the main ones but there is a lot with the original trio
The statue in the background is a tribute to Metallica's "...And Justice For All" which is really shown in their closing song for this show called "BABYMETAL DEATH" which is a performance that will blow your mind more than this one! And the gong is a tribute to Japanese metal band, X-Japan. 🦊🤘
Beware! After the 3rd song you will be lost! They will get you! (but in a good way of course). They will make you smile from ear to ear but they will also make you cry. The variety of their songs is just awesome. Greets from Germany and stay safe!
Great reaction, we know exactly how you FEEL, which btw is a core BABYMETAL philosophy: "Don't think. FEEL." Queen Su-metal is famous galaxy wide for her death stare. Conversely, offstage she's been described as bookish, goofy, & kinda nerdy (obviously a disguise). Subscribed! More BABYMETAL please!! Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
@@pi0nvillag3r My BabyMetal concert last April was also cancelled. Their chances of this year's world tour are slim. I only hope they can tour the world or release a new album next year!
@@dingjk5630 I'm sort of hoping they do the Budokan shows, as long as that's safe to do and release some amazing show Blu-ray set so we see it all in full glory. Because I don't expect a lot of touring this year. Big maybe... starting October.
..... and so it begins . The journey will be a fun one. SU-METAL's death glare can melt stone and she is quite well known for it , when on stage she is a force to be reckoned with and not to be taken lightly.
Also I know this was from 2 years ago. I hope you both still love BABYMETAL. I’m sure you already know by now but the song is about a girl and her first metal/headbang experience. The music video is also incredible. Just an incredible band all around.
Glad you came back to them and liked it! Pausing is perfectly fine, I‘d actually recommend to pause a bit more often to be on the safe side. I also think it‘s preferable to pause for your comments than talk over the video. As you have probably realized by now, this was not in 1997. The show is called „Legend 1997“, because that was Su-metal‘s (the main singer) birth year. The show took place one day after her 16th birthday in 2013. Even after years of listening to them, I‘m still impressed by the perfection in pretty much all aspects of their performances. The instrumental parts, the vocals, the choreography and dancing, the crowd interaction, the stage presence, the energy - there‘s really not much room for improvement. And the girls‘ smiles and overall positivity are the icing on the cake. It‘s just a complete package of fun. I‘m torn between two recommendations to give, so I‘ll just write down both: - „Rondo of Nightmare“ for a deeper look into both the instrumental and Su’s vocal skills: ua-cam.com/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/v-deo.html - „Pa Pa Ya“ for a newer song with similarly great live energy: ua-cam.com/video/oO7Y8NsnkRg/v-deo.html
I fully believe that Su-Metal was performing as a fetus. One small correction. Your thumbnail says black night and shows a pic of Budokan black night. That is a different concert. This was 'Legend of 1997' at Makuhari Messe the day after Su's 16th birthday. Dec 21 2013. But I'm glad, this was the right video to react to.
Great reaction. Their songs is different each to another. They had 40+ songs with different metal sub-genres and styles. It will be a great journey. I'm in!
I've been around 10 times in Babymetal concert in Japan, and everytime it just likes finishing a marathon. Headband, Wall of Death, Moshing, Screaming with the girls....
Fun info: When i saw BABYMETAL in Cologne in 2016 i was lucky enough to get to barrier from start and the legs of my heavy cotton cargo pants was moving to BOHs bass in the beginning. So yeah, you feel it EVERYWHERE! Nice react! Please give us more live Babymetal.
For those wanting to know a bit of a backstory on Mikio Fujioka. Mikio Fujioka was an amazing artist & musician. My thoughts go out to Babymetal, Mr. Mikio Fujioka & his family. Mr. Fujioka was a guitar prodigy from an early age. He graduated from the prestigious musician’s Institute of Osaka. At 19 he won the GIT Masters 2000. Fujioka later went on to lecture at a music College. Before joining Babymetal in 2003. Fujioka also authored many textbooks on guitar. Shorty after Mikio's death Yui left due to a continuing illness. So things back in 2018 weren't great really. But they came back even stronger than before. Su-Metal at this point really has come into her own. Not many female Japanese bands have ever made it this far. So pretty amazing they're celebrating their 10th anniversary this year!! :b
Great reaction, thanks! The concert was "Legend 1997 SU-METAL seitan sai" so it was SU-METAL (the lead singer) 16th birthday celebration at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba on December 21st, 2013. And you are absolutely right: they keep the same level of energy during the whole concert, so it's amazing! As you can see they master on crowd control and audience's behavior is mostly the result of Yui and Moa's (backing vocals and dance) work while Su owns the stage and the whole venue. She's the boss and she makes sure you notice it :) The crowd is another great point here: they were super hyped for all what they were getting so they totally deserved what they got a little later as a closing number hehe... We will back to that later... in the mean time I'd like to suggest you this one: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html Until next time!
5:46 BABYMETAL is really special. I've been listening to metal for almost 20 years and the only other time I heard that drum roll was from Nicholas Barker in Old Man's Child. Whoever wrote this song has seriously good taste.
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。In this video, you heard the crowd shouts some words at 05:57. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!". If you search with keywords "babymetal 2019 forum headbang" you will find videos showing Su-Metal directs her mic towards 17,000 American audiences and they shout the same Japanese words on the cue at the Forum, LA on Oct. 11 2019. Of course the same shout occurs wherever they go.
Over 5 years I've been a fan. Su's story is fun! And Sakura Gakuin put three girls together and it been an adventure ever since! The shot of Su-Metal in the blue light with her hair stuck to her forehead has been the background on my computer for awhile now.
This song definitely leaves you speechless with talent of the girls and the Kami Band! And too funny that you noted Su’s death stare that can melt your soul with a single glare! Welcome to the foxhole, one you enter you will never leave!!! 🦊🦊🦊🦊
There is a whole universe of Babymetal music/performances that will continually "blow your mind"! As someone else mentioned in the comments, Su just turned 16 years old here and Yui and Moa were only 14 years old during this performance! What you have repeatedly pointed out with Su's stare is Su's amazing stage presence. You need to check out Babymetal "Road of Resistance, Live in Japan" where the drummer (Hideki) was a monster and the level of stage presence and confidence by the three girls is unmatched. Talk about the ability to control a huge crowd (>37,000), Su is the master (and she was only 17 yr old then)! MORE BABYMETAL !!
Great reaction and I'm sure you've been told everything you need to know by now (sorry I'm late). I'll just say I'm looking forward to your next BABYMETAL reaction and I hope it doesn't take as long to get to it as this one ;-)
1997 was the name of the concert...it was the same show as the "Gimme Chocolate" video was filmed at, this song is the debut of the Kami Band and total live music for BABYMETAL... BTW this is the second reaction I watched of yours... looks like your falling down the Foxhole... Welcome Kitsunes...
I mentioned this in another reaction video for the same song: That's one thing about Su-metal: in addition to being able to sing extremely well, she has that "I'm so cute" look that can instantly turn into "I will cut your fucking heart out with a rusty knife" look - the definition of "Kawaii metal". But now, since you've entered the foxhole, I suggest going back to their very first official video "Doki Doki Morning". After that, there is just a crapload of songs you really should react to by them. Their latest and greatest is "BxMxC". In short: you ain't seen nothin' yet! SEE YOU!!!
Oh another thing... Eventually, The One (as Babymetal fans are called) will recommend you to react to Death Legend 1997 (which is from the same concert you reacted to already)... Please read the description/translation that usually comes with the video... It will make more sense as you watch the video.....i have the bluray of this concert...And it's a blast....If you watch it from beginning to end, its basically telling the story through the music, how Babymetal goes from a Jpop/metal group to a full on metal band..... and yes the real band comes in mid way through the show, incidently playing with Black Babymetal, the cutest hardcore duo you will ever see.
It's reactors like you guys who make me love Babymetal much more. Watching your minds get blown away every single time reminds me of the sweet sweet pleasure of discovering Babymetal for the first time. It's just such a unique experience of pure joy. Welcome (back) to the Babymetal Fox hole. We are all eager to follow your journey.
Finally, after 2 months your second Babymetal reaction, thank you so much! Please don't wait that long for your next reaction. We Babymetal fans are all highly addicted to those reactions and need our daily dose. And yours is really excellent stuff!
Su-Metal hits somewhere in my soul. Her singing. Her presence. The contrast with her, Yui, and Moa creates such a perfect unit. Add in the incredible Kami band and they crush you EVERY. TIME.
Nice video! The best thing about babymetal performances are the insane crowd interaction that some people say "cult-like" HAHAHAHA. The energy of the band and the crowd altogether creates a perfect concert. Headbanger is a song about a girl going on her first ever metal concert 15th birthday. The other two girls had their own solo in the second verse in their birthdays too. Yui performed the second verse of this on her 15th birthday in their performance in Paris. Moa performed this on her 15th and 20th birthday. Imo, this song is one of the best tracks from their first album along with Megistune and Road of Resistance (all are great though, it's hard to choose top 3). Their songs sound different from each other. If there is a similar sounding song, it would just be a two or three songs because they're exploring and breaking boundaries of music! You won't expect how they perfectly mix different genres in one song. As you have mentioned, the band who played here are the legit band backing babymetal. They are the Kami Band. Kami is the Japanese term for Gods or Spirits. The members who played here are Mikio Fujioka (R.I.P) (the guitarist at the left side of the screen), Leda Cygnus (the guitarist at the right side of the screen), BOH (the bald 6 string bassist), and Hideki Aoyama (the monster drummer). Since that it seems like you love the crowd interaction, I guess you would love to see how amazing the production in their performance is. I suggest you to react to their song "BabyMetal Death" Live Legend 1997. When you react to this video, please read the description as it contains the translation for the beginning speech introduction. This is from the same concert as this and Gimme Choco. This was from Su's (the lead singer) 16th birthday. This was performed in 2013, it was just uploaded later. Catch you at the foxhole! Kitsunes up!
Think this was pretty much on or after Su-metal's birthday. Think there's either a clip or after one of the live versions from this concert where they bring out a cake for her. I'm not sure what songs you've already reacted to but here is some of my personal favorites as a fellow South African: Pretty much all of them are the live show or live compilation versions - Megitsune - Yava + Kami band Solo - Headbanger @ Budokan Black Night 2014 - Catch me if you can - Rondo of Nightmare live @ Budokan Black Night (it's not in the title but it includes the Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro) - Pa Pa Ya Ft. F.Hero - Road of Resistance Live is also very good - not a full song; but Moa-metal took over the solo for Headbanger for her birthday in 2019
Thanks man, drummer is a double bass monster, Headbanger live is un- believeable, check out, try BabyMetal "Catch Me If You Can" live at Black Night Legend Doomsday show 3 Guitar Solos, Drum Solo, Monster evil Riffs, So Metal, So Cute!!!! Headbanging with a Smile!!!!!!!
If it's Makuhari Messe (name of this venue where the show is at) A DEFINITE MUST also is their Megitsune live. Yeah just search for Babymetal - Megitsune live at Makuhari Messe. Also may I request Dreamcatcher - Odd Eye next? ;)
I think someone mentioned it...but this was a celebration of the lead singers birthday! She was born in 1997 and had just turned 17 I believe. The other two are a couple of years younger. You have to react to BabyMetal "Road to Resistance". It is another notch above Headbanger....when the lead singer opens the Mosh Pit the crowd goes bezerk!
Great reaction. This has been a setlist staple for so long for good reason. It was this video and the official music video for "Karate" that got me completely hooked in the first place. Gimme Chocolate made me say "oh that was fun" and not think much else about it. This song though, and especially this performance of it, you can't look at this and think they aren't serious about the metal part. I've never really been much of a concert goer at all, but just watching this video was enough for me to say "I have to go to a Babymetal show ASAP" I have to recommend Karate's music video next. Great song and the production on the video is top notch.
you can react to syncopation, shine, arkadia, starlight, rondo of nightmare(mischief of the gods), road of resistance, yava, from dusk till down, tales of the destinies, the one, amore, karate, distortion, there are sooo many songs to react for, just give it a try, babymetal will be one of you favourite groups, greetings from Chile!
This shit's off the hook insane..!! The whole band and performance is on another level..!! I thought bands like Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Styx, Queen, Metalica, Jinjer, etc.... were on another level..!!! BabyMetal raises the bar to an almost unsurpassable mark!
Ok, so first off welcome back to BABYMETAL! Second, you've seen them with live video but the studio track over it ("Gimme Chocolate") with a fake band, now you've seen completely live with their band, called the Kami Band, indoors. You should definitely check out an outdoor festival performance, as well as a couple of their music videos. Here's a couple suggestions: Outdoor Festivals: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014 - This is the holy grail of their performances. Why? It was their first large festival show outside of Asia and it is what introduced them to the world. I won't go into details until you get to the video, but it was huge! "Karate" Live at Download 2016 - I personally think you should see the music video first, but I can't deny how good a performance this was. "Distortion" Live at Download 2018 - This is an excellent song and performance, but it is rough for some fans because it is in the middle of their "year of hell" as some call it. They had lost one of their guitarists, Mikio Fujioka, when he died tragically after falling from an observation tower while stargazing. Also, this was they year that Yui wasn't there due to health issues, which would eventually lead to her leaving the band altogether. Music Videos: "Karate" - This is a great song and the video is a piece of art with a great message. "Megitsune" - First, it is pronounced "May-git-soo-nay". This is also a great song, often ranking #1 on fan polls for their favorite song by BABYMETAL ""Doki Doki Morning" - You have to have their first song ever somewhere on the list! I would recommend you see this AFTER you watch a video like "Pa Pa Ya" or "BxMxC" to see the contrast at how young they were when they started. Speaking of... "BxMxC" - This is just "BMC" with the x's acting as placeholders. The music video is their newest one that dropped back in October to kick off their 10th anniversary celebration. It was a surprise to everyone when it came out! It's so good, and once again shows the diversity in their music catalogue and the abilities of Su (Su-Metal, the lead singer).
Mr. O's Classes : Hi! How have you been ? I am still buying food from the shop run by Mikio's family. BTW, as you know BABYMETAL is going to hold 6 concerts next week and in February. Although Band Maid cancelled their concert (for their first time at Budokan), Wagakki Band did on January 3 & 4 and other concerts have still been held including yesterday (Jan. 15) in Budokan. Hence as long as no emergency occurs, the 1st concert on Jan.19 will take place as scheduled and so will 2nd one on the following day. I could manage to get 4 tickets for the shows including 1st & 2nd. I am excited.
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I have been excellent! How about yourself? I won't lie, I am a little upset they are pushing on with the shows, especially with the heavy restrictions I've heard about for them. Is Su seriously going to raise her microphone for the "ki-e-ro" part of Headbanger to silence?! Obviously, I'm coming from an American standpoint where that type of restriction seems very far-fetched, so I don't know if it is considered reasonable over there or not. I'm very happy for you that you were able to get tickets, though! I cannot wait to be able to see shows again. My goals are to see them play near me and then to see them in Japan. I have been meaning to contact Mikio's family again. I still never received a reply, but the holidays over here were very busy and I'm a teacher (if my name didn't give it away), so finding the time and thinking about it during said time are difficult to match up. I really do need to, I still want to donate to them. Glad things are going well for you, my friend. BTW, I am potentially starting a Channel here with a coworker soon, and of course I will be showing her BABYMETAL while she shows me BTS since I've never listened to them. Should be fun if/when we get going on it!
@@mr.osclasses5054 I understand your concern. But according to the recent analysis, events at the big venues have never been epicenters or creating clusters of infection here in Japan. So many concerts and martial arts events (boxing & MMA) have been taking place while all of such events were shut down in the previous emergency called in April last year. The government guideline is very strict and Amuse's requirements to the audiences are stricter. We, the audiences, should be careful not to spoil the events and to protect ourselves and more importantly protect the band. And don't worry. I explained Charles's thoughtfulness to Mikio's family and I received a reply from Mikio's widow with her gratitude.
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I was in class when I saw this. I almost stopped class to read it, hahaha! This is awesome. How was it to be there? I saw a video of the ending and it was heartbreaking to not hear the crowd shouting "BABYMETAL!" with Moa after Su did the "We are..." part. I'm glad people complied (I'm sure there were a few outliers who maybe didn't) with the rules and I hope everyone stayed safe. The inclusion of "Starlight" on setlist now 100% confirms that it is a Mikio tribute since they made sure to have it in there on his birthday. Speaking of, did they say anything or have a video for him at all before, during, or at the end of the show? Lastly, were the Kami's wearing the masks we all dislike, or were they in their normal outfits and face paint? Loving all the videos coming from it already on Twitter and all.
Your reaction channel is my FAVORITE! You told this exactly the way it should be told These are really KIDS doing all this! HANDS DOWN one of the BEST live performances since QUEEN live in the- 70s. Both band and girls were over the top spectacular. I can't see any act today, that can compare , even slightly to this!
I was glancing through your videos and noticed you had only covered Gimme Chocolate before this one. They have so much more to give - fellow reactors tend to see Gimme Chocolate first, which puts off some and they never react again - so I'm extremely glad you have covered Headbanger. As Muso's I heartily recommend checking out 'Rondo of Nightmare, including the 'Mischief of Gods' intro by the Kami Band which greatly showcases their talents as musicians. Rondo of Nightmare follows, which is a solo number for Su while Yui and Moa take a well earned rest - other Su Metal solos you should cover are - 'Amore' , 'Akatsuki' and 'No Rain no Rainbow'. Other songs I thoroughly recommend are 'Syncopation' ,'The One' - there are so many more but for now maybe a couple of songs from the latest album - if 'Papaya' doesn't make you happy, I don't know what will, and maybe 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' which has a wonderful Indian touch to it. Great reaction as always - hope to see some more Babymetal soon!
Karate, Megtisune, Rondo of Nightmare, Road of Resistance, Ijime Dame Zettai, BxMxC, Tales of the Destinies, The One, Amore, Akatsuki, etc. These are just a few songs to react, all different from another and absolutely awesome.
🤘🦊🤘 1st of all TYVM for a new Babymetal reaction :) 🤘🦊🤘 I love these combination of Suzukas stage presence and voice, the neverending energy of Yui and Moa, especially how shy Yui is at Sakura Gakuin (School) at the same time, and this awesome band (Kami Band) 🤘🦊🤘 React to whatever you want of Babymetal. You will be surprised every single time
A brilliant reaction to a brilliant show/group, great reaction, guys and don't worry about pausing/blurring/etc, it is a reaction video - anything you need to do to not get the reaction video block is fine - looking forward to more of your reaction. Cheers!
The thing about Babymetal is that you're not going to their concert to see a band; you go to the concert to see a show. Its more fair to compare Babymetal to a Broadway show than it is to something like Warped Tour.
I'm pretty sure they bypassed the mind blown part about 60 seconds in. They are down the foxhole now. The only question is, what tunnel of reactions (order of them) will they take?
I loved your reactions. A great performance. May I suggest reacting to Ijime Dame Zettai at Sonisphere festival 2014. This performance was the first time doing a concert outside of Asia. The first performance outside of Japan was in 2013 in Indonesia. Great job.
Thank you guys! one needs the Fox God in everyday life I'm glad you did it. get your latest LIVE BabyMetal blue-rays the things that are on YT are good but you'll see.
Yes! Anything from Babymetal is mental! Go watch everything and you won't be dissapointed, also this song MV is lit and more kawai because the girls are so tiny there, as well as different live versions, is almost like every one of them is unique. Anyway you better stop this now or else you going to fall down right in the Fox Hole and of course is trippy af, don't worry we'll be right behind you back you up! \m/
Crowd interaction is a HUGE part of the greatness that is Babymetal..... Road of Resistance, Karate at download 2016, or IDZ at sonisphere 2014, all show awesome crowd interactions. and as for not sounding like their previous song.... Let it be known, NONE of Babymetals song sound like each other.... So if you found a song you like, and hope they would do something similar or along the same vein... Not likely gonna happen.. If you like the band, try Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of God intro....Its a solo of Su Metal and a solo by the band....if you are going to react more to BM, live concerts is the way to go... Live Babymetal is Best Babymetal.. Enjoy your exploration into their songs! 🤘🦊🤘
Welcome to Babymetal. About the same reaction I had the first time I saw this. I had seen some reaction videos, Gimme Chocolate, Doki Doki Morning, and was looking for more WTF videos, thinking "fun gimmick". Then I came across this video. Like a slap upside the face with a brick. All concept of gimmick got tossed out the window, coming to the realization of "this is for real, there is something serious going on here." The more I dug into it, the more I was captured by it. That was 4 years ago and 10s of thousands of dollars later, money spent following this group on tour. I've been attending concerts for a long time. I've seen the all time greats, from Pink Floyd and Sabbath, to Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, in their hay days, and I can honestly say, Babymetal is the best live band I've ever seen. The band is basically a supergroup of the best musicians Japan has to offer. The girls are joy amplifiers. I don't know how they do it but they project joy and energy into the audience, who reacts to it, sending it back to the stage, where it is amplified further and sent back into the audience. They are so well rehearsed, so professional in their approach, that they are amazingly consistent in their performances. Every night is a good night, I've never seen a bad one. But there are some nights where it becomes something else.... something magical. They are...... for real.... and yes, you are ready for Rondo of Nightmare at Budokan, a video which Amuse normally does not normally bother reactors.
I am given to understand that this is the story of a 15-16 year old's first heavy metal concert and her desire to go to one before she has to go back to school as she fears that she may not be able to see one for until after she graduates years from now. Kitsune up! 🦊
if you call yourself a metal head and don't appreciate this song, don't talk to me, like ever.
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
REALLL BC IF U DONT LIKE THIS UR NOT A METAL HEAD
TOO REAL LMAO
let's not gatekeep, like baby metal face.
So many people watch Gimme Chocolate and think that they understand Babymetal. Glad you came back for seconds.
They say Su-metal was born with a microphone in her hand, and she sang instead of crying. She is super intense on stage. Her choreographer says she is crazy. She just feels the music.
The show is Legend 1997, which is the year she was born. The show was in 2013.
who is their choreographer?
@@danny-ky8it Mikiko Mizuno, who also does Perfume
@@Wombatmetal is she related to yui?
@@danny-ky8it no relation
@@Wombatmetalhomie has all the lore. Respect.
1997 is the year Su, the singer, was born. The show was in 2014.
Is that meant to make all the men watching feel creepy? Lol
@@aaronbarlow4376 not really, no, just a fact.
That drummer at one point is hitting 16 beats per second, outstanding drumming by an outstanding band.
That's like my click per second speed lol jitterclicking
Su-Metal's so-called death stare is actually the burning gaze of Alexander the Great, which seems to peer into your very soul. Queen Su has a couple other things in common with the mighty Macedonian conqueror. First, there is her self-avowed desire to conquer the world, albeit in her case through music. Then there is the story about a much earlier performance at Saitama Super Arena in 2008. Back then Su was the youngest member of a pop/idol trio called Keren Girl's. Having never played such a large venue before. the two older girls were naturally a bit nervous about it. Su on the other hand was so confident that she decided to take a nap before the show, and slept so soundly someone had to go wake her. The first time I read this story it actually gave me a chill because there is an eerily similar story told about Alexander before the Battle of Gaugamela. It was then that I realized what is so special about Su-Metal. She possesses that intangible something that is the spark of greatness. That might help to explain how such a young girl can exert so total command over her vast legions of fans.
I guess you'll end up crying if you watch Road of Resistance, live in Japan version, the best one.
Also Rondo of Nightmare with Intro :P
Akatsuki unfinished is for crying and Tales of the Destinies is hitting the floor with your jaw. Or iine LOL
It's a rare day when I don't cry to a Babymetal song. When I started listening to heavy metal 40 odd yrs ago, I never thought a band could be cute and adorable and make want to cry.
@@davidbooker6769 From what I hear crying is good for your health ! :-)
They are going to flip the hell out on Babymetal Death.
It dosen't mattet how many reactions or time i actully watch this video. I always gives me chills and emotional. I wish I could be there in that crowd.
Yes born 1997 and the concert was su metals 16 birthday. Want more Guitar and Bass and Drums? Rondo of night mare or road of resistance
This is from the Legend of 1997 concert, the legend is Su-Metal and 1997 is her birth year. The song is about a 15yo girl going to her first metal concert, not about Su as when they recorded and made the official MV Su was 14 and Yui and Moa were 12. Su has one of the greatest and scariest Death Stares. Keep in mind they go at this pace pretty much an entire concert.
By the way, the guitarist passed away in 2018 from a bad fall at an observatory and one of the girls left the act for health reasons :(
Starlight - (unofficially) dedicated to his memory. He died while stargazing.
OMG 🥺 thank u for letting us know... that is sad... may he rest in peace and the girl recover soon. You know, as children what they were doing is quite brutal. Even more so in the extremely demanding Japanese entertainment business... if she decides to live a calmer life I will not blame her. This is not for everyone, what. matters is that she tried.
@@Larindarr They replaced her with a rotating group of back up dancers. Probably for the best, not as stressful.
@@koanoah8383 why is this team of bots targeting babymetal reaction videos LOL
@Mike Mike No she really was sick and has had a few injuries. But Yui wanted more time to play the guitar and try new things. But she took Mikio Fujioka death pretty hard as he was kind of a mentor. Girls work their asses off and frankly I'm surprised they were able to come back after that.
Brilliant, incredible, mesmerizing... that what is Babymetal about, and much more! Please react to “Rondo of nightmare” next.
And energizer bunnies ;-)

It’s an experience, like persona 3
I’ve been privileged to see Babymetal live in concert seven times and it’s an experience every time. They’re amazing. If you like the way they interact with the audience in this one, you should definitely watch the Road of Resistance live in Japan video. It’s the finale song for most of their shows and it’s huge. Listen for the “we are...... Babymetal” call and response at the end and the “see youuuu” as they leave the stage.
⚡ 💀 💕 / 🤘
Little by little, those new synapses are forming.
Soon they will create BABYMETAL receptors in your brain, and there will be no turning back. : )
That was the third song of a five song encore with the live Kami Band. Shout out to the Kamis!
Guitarists that night were Mikio Fujioka (RIP) and Leda Cygnus, with BOH on bass and Hideki Aoyama on drums.
I was thrilled when they brought this song back for the 2019 tour, and I finally got to hear it live at the LA Forum.
Love this comment Rick-san ;)
Rick Wagner : It took me only 5 minutes until BM music spawned my synapses in my brain and created receptors everywhere in my body 😄 。
BTW, as you know BABYMETAL is going to hold 6 concerts next week and in February. Although Band Maid cancelled their concert (for their first time at Budokan), Wagakki Band did on January 3 & 4 and other concerts have still been held including yesterday (Jan. 15). As long as no emergency occurs, the 1st concert on Jan.19 will take place as scheduled and so will 2nd one on the following day. I will try to make a quick report to you after the event finishes.

This is why we the ONE(the fanbase)love babymetal..
You want to see just how good the band is (called the Kami band).. watch Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of Gods Intro. They are some of the finest musicans in Japan. And yes SU-METAL has a legendary death stare. As for the audience - I have stood in the pit and jumped, screamed, swung my towel and sung my heart out. Their fans as insanely passionate and enthusiastic - yet also seriously the nicest and kindest fans I ever met. I can tell you BABYMETAL ALWAYS give 100% when they perform - they never coast, never have an off night, never just turn up. They work hard from the first to the last second to give the very best performance they can.
GREAT REACTION! The girls and band go HARD on EVERY song, minus the 1 or 2 ballads that they usually perform, and their concerts are about 1.5 hours long. Su-metal, the lead singer, can jump around and dance choreography without messing up a single note. BTW, this concert celebrates Su-metal's 16th birthday back in 2013. The concert is called "Legend 1997" where 1997 is the year she was born. I hope you two react to more BABYMETAL songs. Each song is different and fun to watch.
Great reaction Su has the most lethal death glare. Also if you continue she’ll take your soul. The concert was filmed December 2013 it was Su’s 16th birthday 1997 was her birth. The band backing them are the kamiband (god band) unfortunately one of the girls Yui isn’t in Babymetal anymore she left due to health issues so in later videos where their outfits change and they look older although there’s another girl Su and Moa are the main ones but there is a lot with the original trio
It wasn't 1997 - it was (I think) a celebration of the lead vocalist having been born in 1997!
it was her 16th birthday show, so yes 1997 is her birth year :)
You are correct. In fact, as she is climbing the steps towards the gong at the end, you can see Happy Birthday written on Boh's head.
@@stuffandwhatnot4401 your own metal concert on your every birthday celebration, she loves metal so much now i believe XD
@@stuffandwhatnot4401 BOHTE!!! Hysterical!!!
The statue in the background is a tribute to Metallica's "...And Justice For All" which is really shown in their closing song for this show called "BABYMETAL DEATH" which is a performance that will blow your mind more than this one! And the gong is a tribute to Japanese metal band, X-Japan. 🦊🤘
Babymetal opened for Metallica in Korea.
Beware! After the 3rd song you will be lost! They will get you! (but in a good way of course). They will make you smile from ear to ear but they will also make you cry. The variety of their songs is just awesome. Greets from Germany and stay safe!
Great reaction, we know exactly how you FEEL, which btw is a core BABYMETAL philosophy: "Don't think. FEEL."
Queen Su-metal is famous galaxy wide for her death stare. Conversely, offstage she's been described as bookish, goofy, & kinda nerdy (obviously a disguise).
Subscribed! More BABYMETAL please!!
Arigatou! 🦊🤘 #notacult
The only thing I want to say is that I also want to go to this BabyMetal concert. Thanks your great reaction.
Yes indeed. Someone gives me a time machine/teleportation device so I can kill Hitler as a baby I'm going here instead.
man my first 'gonna' be babymetal concert cancelled last year, so gutted. i hope i have chance someday
@@pi0nvillag3r My BabyMetal concert last April was also cancelled. Their chances of this year's world tour are slim. I only hope they can tour the world or release a new album next year!
@@pi0nvillag3r Same here, I feel You bro :(
BABYMETAL 🤘🦊🤘
@@dingjk5630 I'm sort of hoping they do the Budokan shows, as long as that's safe to do and release some amazing show Blu-ray set so we see it all in full glory. Because I don't expect a lot of touring this year. Big maybe... starting October.
Good reaction guys. One of my favorite reactions. Also one of may favorite Babymetal performances.
1997 is the year Su-Metal was born. The Legend 1997 IS Su-Metal. This show is when she ascended from Suzuka Nakamoto to metal Goddess Su-Metal.
Welcome to the foxhole!! The first reactions are awesome. Keep watching live papaya, rondo of nigthmare and road to resistance, you gonna love it!!!.
I love their song from 2013 until now
> "We're gonna check out more BABYMETAL. If you like it or not!"
I guess I can bear it...
..... and so it begins . The journey will be a fun one. SU-METAL's death glare can melt stone and she is quite well known for it , when on stage she is a force to be reckoned with and not to be taken lightly.
She's a pro in all sense of the word.
Also I know this was from 2 years ago. I hope you both still love BABYMETAL. I’m sure you already know by now but the song is about a girl and her first metal/headbang experience. The music video is also incredible. Just an incredible band all around.
Glad you came back to them and liked it! Pausing is perfectly fine, I‘d actually recommend to pause a bit more often to be on the safe side. I also think it‘s preferable to pause for your comments than talk over the video.
As you have probably realized by now, this was not in 1997. The show is called „Legend 1997“, because that was Su-metal‘s (the main singer) birth year. The show took place one day after her 16th birthday in 2013.
Even after years of listening to them, I‘m still impressed by the perfection in pretty much all aspects of their performances. The instrumental parts, the vocals, the choreography and dancing, the crowd interaction, the stage presence, the energy - there‘s really not much room for improvement. And the girls‘ smiles and overall positivity are the icing on the cake. It‘s just a complete package of fun.
I‘m torn between two recommendations to give, so I‘ll just write down both:
- „Rondo of Nightmare“ for a deeper look into both the instrumental and Su’s vocal skills: ua-cam.com/video/8WBDiLMNZcE/v-deo.html
- „Pa Pa Ya“ for a newer song with similarly great live energy: ua-cam.com/video/oO7Y8NsnkRg/v-deo.html
This comment right here!
Looking forward to your next BABYMETAL.
They won't disappoint you😄
Nice to see SuMetal's vocals impressed you (she's a soprano with a C4 to G#5 range) and that her Death Stare gripped your souls!
I fully believe that Su-Metal was performing as a fetus.
One small correction. Your thumbnail says black night and shows a pic of Budokan black night. That is a different concert. This was 'Legend of 1997' at Makuhari Messe the day after Su's 16th birthday. Dec 21 2013. But I'm glad, this was the right video to react to.
You right she had a microphone instead of a rattle 🤘🦊🤘
She had a mic in her hand when she war born for sure haha!
When Su-chan was born she didn't cry out she she sang crystal clear. :-)
Her mother wasn't feeling her kick in the womb. She was feeling her headbanging in the womb.

Great reaction.
Their songs is different each to another. They had 40+ songs with different metal sub-genres and styles. It will be a great journey. I'm in!
I've been around 10 times in Babymetal concert in Japan, and everytime it just likes finishing a marathon. Headband, Wall of Death, Moshing, Screaming with the girls....
Jealous is an understatement. Would love to see them live someday
Fun info: When i saw BABYMETAL in Cologne in 2016 i was lucky enough to get to barrier from start and the legs of my heavy cotton cargo pants was moving to BOHs bass in the beginning. So yeah, you feel it EVERYWHERE! Nice react! Please give us more live Babymetal.
For those wanting to know a bit of a backstory on Mikio Fujioka. Mikio Fujioka was an amazing artist & musician. My thoughts go out to Babymetal, Mr. Mikio Fujioka & his family.
Mr. Fujioka was a guitar prodigy from an early age. He graduated from the prestigious musician’s Institute of Osaka. At 19 he won the GIT Masters 2000.
Fujioka later went on to lecture at a music College. Before joining Babymetal in 2003. Fujioka also authored many textbooks on guitar.
Shorty after Mikio's death Yui left due to a continuing illness. So things back in 2018 weren't great really. But they came back even stronger than before.
Su-Metal at this point really has come into her own. Not many female Japanese bands have ever made it this far. So pretty amazing they're celebrating their 10th anniversary this year!! :b
Great reaction, thanks!
The concert was "Legend 1997 SU-METAL seitan sai" so it was SU-METAL (the lead singer) 16th birthday celebration at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba on December 21st, 2013.
And you are absolutely right: they keep the same level of energy during the whole concert, so it's amazing! As you can see they master on crowd control and audience's behavior is mostly the result of Yui and Moa's (backing vocals and dance) work while Su owns the stage and the whole venue. She's the boss and she makes sure you notice it :)
The crowd is another great point here: they were super hyped for all what they were getting so they totally deserved what they got a little later as a closing number hehe...
We will back to that later... in the mean time I'd like to suggest you this one: "Ijime, Dame, Zettai" (Live at Sonisphere 2014): ua-cam.com/video/Ro-_cbfdrYE/v-deo.html
Until next time!
the lead singer is 16 ... this is live ... this girl has more talent in her little finger than most so called stars these days allover ...
5:46 BABYMETAL is really special. I've been listening to metal for almost 20 years and the only other time I heard that drum roll was from Nicholas Barker in Old Man's Child. Whoever wrote this song has seriously good taste.
Nice & thanks again from Japan 有難う💛。In this video, you heard the crowd shouts some words at 05:57. The words are "ki-e-ro 消えろ!" meaning "get out of here!". If you search with keywords "babymetal 2019 forum headbang" you will find videos showing Su-Metal directs her mic towards 17,000 American audiences and they shout the same Japanese words on the cue at the Forum, LA on Oct. 11 2019. Of course the same shout occurs wherever they go.
Over 5 years I've been a fan. Su's story is fun! And Sakura Gakuin put three girls together and it been an adventure ever since! The shot of Su-Metal in the blue light with her hair stuck to her forehead has been the background on my computer for awhile now.
I was blown away by my first impression of this band. I can't wait for a North America tour.
This song definitely leaves you speechless with talent of the girls and the Kami Band! And too funny that you noted Su’s death stare that can melt your soul with a single glare! Welcome to the foxhole, one you enter you will never leave!!! 🦊🦊🦊🦊
There is a whole universe of Babymetal music/performances that will continually "blow your mind"! As someone else mentioned in the comments, Su just turned 16 years old here and Yui and Moa were only 14 years old during this performance! What you have repeatedly pointed out with Su's stare is Su's amazing stage presence. You need to check out Babymetal "Road of Resistance, Live in Japan" where the drummer (Hideki) was a monster and the level of stage presence and confidence by the three girls is unmatched. Talk about the ability to control a huge crowd (>37,000), Su is the master (and she was only 17 yr old then)! MORE BABYMETAL !!
Great reaction and I'm sure you've been told everything you need to know by now (sorry I'm late). I'll just say I'm looking forward to your next BABYMETAL reaction and I hope it doesn't take as long to get to it as this one ;-)
ring ring ring, aserazu hurry up!
OK everyone, settle down - the internationally-recognised Babymetal authority is here, with his copy and paste job ready ...
@@neilonaniet Somebody's got to do it and he does it well! In Grington300 300 we trust.
1997 was the name of the concert...it was the same show as the "Gimme Chocolate" video was filmed at, this song is the debut of the Kami Band and total live music for BABYMETAL... BTW this is the second reaction I watched of yours... looks like your falling down the Foxhole... Welcome Kitsunes...
excellent content, What on earth? you ask? not of this earth, not of this world, Babymetal is from the metal galaxy.
Energetic reaction. Worthy of this song, plus points for having it play nice and loud
Legend 1997 is the name of the concert for Su's 16th birthday lol. This was in 2013
I've waited so long for a new reaction from you guys to a new video from babymetal. you mak,e my day!!!
At last reaction I had when seeing this😅Thank you!!!
I mentioned this in another reaction video for the same song: That's one thing about Su-metal: in addition to being able to sing extremely well, she has that "I'm so cute" look that can instantly turn into "I will cut your fucking heart out with a rusty knife" look - the definition of "Kawaii metal". But now, since you've entered the foxhole, I suggest going back to their very first official video "Doki Doki Morning". After that, there is just a crapload of songs you really should react to by them. Their latest and greatest is "BxMxC". In short: you ain't seen nothin' yet! SEE YOU!!!
Oh another thing... Eventually, The One (as Babymetal fans are called) will recommend you to react to Death Legend 1997 (which is from the same concert you reacted to already)... Please read the description/translation that usually comes with the video... It will make more sense as you watch the video.....i have the bluray of this concert...And it's a blast....If you watch it from beginning to end, its basically telling the story through the music, how Babymetal goes from a Jpop/metal group to a full on metal band..... and yes the real band comes in mid way through the show, incidently playing with Black Babymetal, the cutest hardcore duo you will ever see.
It's reactors like you guys who make me love Babymetal much more. Watching your minds get blown away every single time reminds me of the sweet sweet pleasure of discovering Babymetal for the first time. It's just such a unique experience of pure joy.
Welcome (back) to the Babymetal Fox hole. We are all eager to follow your journey.
Road of Resistance (live in Japan) for the KO! 🦊🤘
Legend 1997 Apocalypse is a concert celebrating Su-Metal aka Suzuka Nakamoto 16th Birthday 🎉(Seitansai) which took place in Makuhari Messe in Chiba prefecture.
Headbanger (Babymetal song)
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" (ヘドバンギャー！！, Hedobangyā!!) is a single by the Japanese heavy metal band Babymetal. Released in Japan on July 4, 2012 in promotion for the album Sakura Gakuin 2012 Nendo: My Generation, the single serves as the third single from the debut album Babymetal. It is also the band's first solo audio release to be released commercially.
Single: Babymetal
Album: Babymetal and Sakura Gakuin 2012 Nendo: My Generation
Language: Japanese
Released: July 4, 2012
Genre: Power metal
Length: 14:44
Label: Juonbu
Songwriter: Edometal, Nakametal, Narasaki
Producer: Kobametal
Narametal: (arrangement)
Babymetal singles chronology:-
"Babymetal / Kiba of Akiba": (2012)
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!": (2012)
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai": (2013)
Background and release:-
Unlike previous tracks released by the band, which had her vocal recorded in segments within the songs, Nakamoto had her lines recorded in a single take several times. She had been told to sing and find a story within the music. By the time she had comprehended the story behind the lyrics, she grew capable of singing the entire song naturally. When Mizuno and Kikuchi listened to her shouting "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" for the first time, they felt as if they had seen another cool side of her, surprised by the vocal power. Additionally, the single introduced the members to the whispering style of singing, with the A-side's "Kiero!" (Disappear!) and the B-side's "Uki Uki Midnight". Kobametal was inspired to use it to contrast traditional death growls.
"Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" was announced as a single on April 27, 2012, with a release date set for July 7, 2012. The single was released in two versions: a standard edition, available via CD and digital formats, and a physical limited Hedo-ban ("Head edition"), which contains a CD and a "neck corset" (actually a cervical collar) for headbanging training.[5] Both editions of the single feature the songs "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!" and "Uki Uki ★ Midnight" (ウ・キ・ウ・キ★ミッドナイト, "Exhilarating Midnight"), along with instrumental versions (labeled as "Air Vocal ver."). The standard version contains an enhanced CD with a bonus music video of "Babymetal Death", which can only be played on a computer. The artwork of the standard edition depicts a lyric in the song, specifically when the girl is headbanging with the corset, with the crimson-colored moon in the background, as well as the band name appearing at the top. The limited edition artwork depicts a temple scripture of the "Corset of Legend" with the song title spelled out in the middle.
Before the physical international release of the song, its title was written ambiguously as either "Head Bangya!!" or "Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!", the latter of which is officially used in the international re-release of Babymetal and all future releases. The music video uploaded to the band's UA-cam channel initially had the former name, though it was switched to the latter in 2015; the version uploaded by Toy's Factory consistently retained the official title.
S
Tekina Remix:-
During the live performances Legend "D" Su-metal Seitansai at Akasaka Blitz on December 20, 2012, and Legend "1997" Su-metal Seitansai at Makuhari Messe on December 21, 2012, a remix titled "Night of 15 mix." was performed, containing more elements of electronic music. The former took place on Suzuka Nakamoto's actual fifteenth birthday, while the latter was the opening song for the concert. Remixed by DJ'Tekina//Something, the song was later released as part of Social Reform promotional editions of the single "Ijime, Dame, Zettai", and later appeared on DJ'Tekina//Something's remix album Kawa-EDM (2016), re-subtitled as "Tekina Remix".

Yeaa, finally a reaction to this song! Thank you guys! You are the best! ))
As always I love the "frozen faces".. "what's happening" - please more :)
Su-Metal hits somewhere in my soul. Her singing. Her presence. The contrast with her, Yui, and Moa creates such a perfect unit. Add in the incredible Kami band and they crush you EVERY. TIME.
Nice video! The best thing about babymetal performances are the insane crowd interaction that some people say "cult-like" HAHAHAHA. The energy of the band and the crowd altogether creates a perfect concert.
Headbanger is a song about a girl going on her first ever metal concert 15th birthday. The other two girls had their own solo in the second verse in their birthdays too. Yui performed the second verse of this on her 15th birthday in their performance in Paris. Moa performed this on her 15th and 20th birthday. Imo, this song is one of the best tracks from their first album along with Megistune and Road of Resistance (all are great though, it's hard to choose top 3).
Their songs sound different from each other. If there is a similar sounding song, it would just be a two or three songs because they're exploring and breaking boundaries of music! You won't expect how they perfectly mix different genres in one song.
As you have mentioned, the band who played here are the legit band backing babymetal. They are the Kami Band. Kami is the Japanese term for Gods or Spirits. The members who played here are Mikio Fujioka (R.I.P) (the guitarist at the left side of the screen), Leda Cygnus (the guitarist at the right side of the screen), BOH (the bald 6 string bassist), and Hideki Aoyama (the monster drummer).
Since that it seems like you love the crowd interaction, I guess you would love to see how amazing the production in their performance is. I suggest you to react to their song "BabyMetal Death" Live Legend 1997. When you react to this video, please read the description as it contains the translation for the beginning speech introduction. This is from the same concert as this and Gimme Choco. This was from Su's (the lead singer) 16th birthday. This was performed in 2013, it was just uploaded later.
Catch you at the foxhole! Kitsunes up!
Think this was pretty much on or after Su-metal's birthday.
Think there's either a clip or after one of the live versions from this concert where they bring out a cake for her.
I'm not sure what songs you've already reacted to but here is some of my personal favorites as a fellow South African: Pretty much all of them are the live show or live compilation versions
- Megitsune
- Yava + Kami band Solo
- Headbanger @ Budokan Black Night 2014
- Catch me if you can
- Rondo of Nightmare live @ Budokan Black Night (it's not in the title but it includes the Mischiefs of Metal Gods intro)
- Pa Pa Ya Ft. F.Hero
- Road of Resistance Live is also very good
- not a full song; but Moa-metal took over the solo for Headbanger for her birthday in 2019
You should watch this "LEGEND 1997" concert from intro until outro.
This "Head Bangya" song is last two song in this concert.
Thanks man, drummer is a double bass monster, Headbanger live is un- believeable, check out, try BabyMetal
"Catch Me If You Can" live at
Black Night Legend Doomsday show
3 Guitar Solos, Drum Solo, Monster evil Riffs, So Metal, So Cute!!!!
Headbanging with a Smile!!!!!!!
If it's Makuhari Messe (name of this venue where the show is at) A DEFINITE MUST also is their Megitsune live. Yeah just search for Babymetal - Megitsune live at Makuhari Messe. Also may I request Dreamcatcher - Odd Eye next? ;)
The amount of command over crowds Suzuka has from the very beginning of her career is simply mind-boggling.
I think someone mentioned it...but this was a celebration of the lead singers birthday! She was born in 1997 and had just turned 17 I believe. The other two are a couple of years younger. You have to react to BabyMetal "Road to Resistance". It is another notch above Headbanger....when the lead singer opens the Mosh Pit the crowd goes bezerk!
Great reaction. This has been a setlist staple for so long for good reason. It was this video and the official music video for "Karate" that got me completely hooked in the first place. Gimme Chocolate made me say "oh that was fun" and not think much else about it. This song though, and especially this performance of it, you can't look at this and think they aren't serious about the metal part. I've never really been much of a concert goer at all, but just watching this video was enough for me to say "I have to go to a Babymetal show ASAP"
I have to recommend Karate's music video next. Great song and the production on the video is top notch.
Awesome reaction! Please do more BABYMETAL! 🤘🦊🤘
you can react to syncopation, shine, arkadia, starlight, rondo of nightmare(mischief of the gods), road of resistance, yava, from dusk till down, tales of the destinies, the one, amore, karate, distortion, there are sooo many songs to react for, just give it a try, babymetal will be one of you favourite groups, greetings from Chile!
This is one of the best reactions . Your reactions are REAL without acting out .
This shit's off the hook insane..!! The whole band and performance is on another level..!! I thought bands like Rush, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Styx, Queen, Metalica, Jinjer, etc.... were on another level..!!! BabyMetal raises the bar to an almost unsurpassable mark!
Ok, so first off welcome back to BABYMETAL! Second, you've seen them with live video but the studio track over it ("Gimme Chocolate") with a fake band, now you've seen completely live with their band, called the Kami Band, indoors. You should definitely check out an outdoor festival performance, as well as a couple of their music videos. Here's a couple suggestions:
Outdoor Festivals:
"Ijime, Dame, Zettai" Live at Sonisphere 2014 - This is the holy grail of their performances. Why? It was their first large festival show outside of Asia and it is what introduced them to the world. I won't go into details until you get to the video, but it was huge!
"Karate" Live at Download 2016 - I personally think you should see the music video first, but I can't deny how good a performance this was.
"Distortion" Live at Download 2018 - This is an excellent song and performance, but it is rough for some fans because it is in the middle of their "year of hell" as some call it. They had lost one of their guitarists, Mikio Fujioka, when he died tragically after falling from an observation tower while stargazing. Also, this was they year that Yui wasn't there due to health issues, which would eventually lead to her leaving the band altogether.
Music Videos:
"Karate" - This is a great song and the video is a piece of art with a great message.
"Megitsune" - First, it is pronounced "May-git-soo-nay". This is also a great song, often ranking #1 on fan polls for their favorite song by BABYMETAL
""Doki Doki Morning" - You have to have their first song ever somewhere on the list! I would recommend you see this AFTER you watch a video like "Pa Pa Ya" or "BxMxC" to see the contrast at how young they were when they started. Speaking of...
"BxMxC" - This is just "BMC" with the x's acting as placeholders. The music video is their newest one that dropped back in October to kick off their 10th anniversary celebration. It was a surprise to everyone when it came out! It's so good, and once again shows the diversity in their music catalogue and the abilities of Su (Su-Metal, the lead singer).
Mr. O's Classes : Hi! How have you been ? I am still buying food from the shop run by Mikio's family. BTW, as you know BABYMETAL is going to hold 6 concerts next week and in February. Although Band Maid cancelled their concert (for their first time at Budokan), Wagakki Band did on January 3 & 4 and other concerts have still been held including yesterday (Jan. 15) in Budokan. Hence as long as no emergency occurs, the 1st concert on Jan.19 will take place as scheduled and so will 2nd one on the following day. I could manage to get 4 tickets for the shows including 1st & 2nd. I am excited.
@@flugelhornoldman1362 I have been excellent! How about yourself? I won't lie, I am a little upset they are pushing on with the shows, especially with the heavy restrictions I've heard about for them. Is Su seriously going to raise her microphone for the "ki-e-ro" part of Headbanger to silence?! Obviously, I'm coming from an American standpoint where that type of restriction seems very far-fetched, so I don't know if it is considered reasonable over there or not.
I'm very happy for you that you were able to get tickets, though! I cannot wait to be able to see shows again. My goals are to see them play near me and then to see them in Japan.
I have been meaning to contact Mikio's family again. I still never received a reply, but the holidays over here were very busy and I'm a teacher (if my name didn't give it away), so finding the time and thinking about it during said time are difficult to match up. I really do need to, I still want to donate to them.
Glad things are going well for you, my friend. BTW, I am potentially starting a Channel here with a coworker soon, and of course I will be showing her BABYMETAL while she shows me BTS since I've never listened to them. Should be fun if/when we get going on it!
@@mr.osclasses5054 I understand your concern. But according to the recent analysis, events at the big venues have never been epicenters or creating clusters of infection here in Japan. So many concerts and martial arts events (boxing & MMA) have been taking place while all of such events were shut down in the previous emergency called in April last year. The government guideline is very strict and Amuse's requirements to the audiences are stricter. We, the audiences, should be careful not to spoil the events and to protect ourselves and more importantly protect the band. And don't worry. I explained Charles's thoughtfulness to Mikio's family and I received a reply from Mikio's widow with her gratitude.

@@flugelhornoldman1362 I was in class when I saw this. I almost stopped class to read it, hahaha! This is awesome. How was it to be there? I saw a video of the ending and it was heartbreaking to not hear the crowd shouting "BABYMETAL!" with Moa after Su did the "We are..." part. I'm glad people complied (I'm sure there were a few outliers who maybe didn't) with the rules and I hope everyone stayed safe.
The inclusion of "Starlight" on setlist now 100% confirms that it is a Mikio tribute since they made sure to have it in there on his birthday. Speaking of, did they say anything or have a video for him at all before, during, or at the end of the show? Lastly, were the Kami's wearing the masks we all dislike, or were they in their normal outfits and face paint?
Loving all the videos coming from it already on Twitter and all.
I played this #%!& song at full volume at 3 am, my neighbors came to complain that it was too low. 🤘🏻🦊🤘🏻
Your reaction channel is my FAVORITE! You told this exactly the way it should be told These are really KIDS doing all this! HANDS DOWN one of the BEST live performances since QUEEN live in the- 70s. Both band and girls were over the top spectacular. I can't see any act today, that can compare , even slightly to this!
Rammstein... But they are the goats of live metal performaces.
So glad you enjoyed the Ladies!
Can’t wait to see more, so many great songs, you have a long journey!
🤘🔥🦊🔥🤘
Rondo of Nightmare next if you want to see the Kami Band flex!
"we're gonna check out more Baby Metal if u like it or not, we're gonna do it "
best line ever xD
I was glancing through your videos and noticed you had only covered Gimme Chocolate before this one. They have so much more to give - fellow reactors tend to see Gimme Chocolate first, which puts off some and they never react again - so I'm extremely glad you have covered Headbanger. As Muso's I heartily recommend checking out 'Rondo of Nightmare, including the 'Mischief of Gods' intro by the Kami Band which greatly showcases their talents as musicians. Rondo of Nightmare follows, which is a solo number for Su while Yui and Moa take a well earned rest - other Su Metal solos you should cover are - 'Amore' , 'Akatsuki' and 'No Rain no Rainbow'. Other songs I thoroughly recommend are 'Syncopation' ,'The One' - there are so many more but for now maybe a couple of songs from the latest album - if 'Papaya' doesn't make you happy, I don't know what will, and maybe 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' which has a wonderful Indian touch to it. Great reaction as always - hope to see some more Babymetal soon!
BABYMETAL-KARATE (live UK Download 2016) this phenomenal performance live too very worthy of you guys react
Karate, Megtisune, Rondo of Nightmare, Road of Resistance, Ijime Dame Zettai, BxMxC, Tales of the Destinies, The One, Amore, Akatsuki, etc.
These are just a few songs to react, all different from another and absolutely awesome.
Just a few . . fantastic order on the list above! Nice glide down the foxhole! :)4
🤘🦊🤘 1st of all TYVM for a new Babymetal reaction :)
🤘🦊🤘 I love these combination of Suzukas stage presence and voice, the neverending energy of Yui and Moa, especially how shy Yui is at Sakura Gakuin (School) at the same time, and this awesome band (Kami Band)
🤘🦊🤘 React to whatever you want of Babymetal. You will be surprised every single time
Reactions aside. Your intro is so dope!
A brilliant reaction to a brilliant show/group, great reaction, guys and don't worry about pausing/blurring/etc, it is a reaction video - anything you need to do to not get the reaction video block is fine - looking forward to more of your reaction. Cheers!
Off hand, the only other singer I can recall that used a mic' with a half-stand was Freddie Mercury - fitting company.
The thing about Babymetal is that you're not going to their concert to see a band; you go to the concert to see a show. Its more fair to compare Babymetal to a Broadway show than it is to something like Warped Tour.
1st reaction: WTF? ✅
2nd reaction: MIND BLOWN ✅
3rd reaction: ONLY THE FOX GOD KNOWS 🤘😷
I'm pretty sure they bypassed the mind blown part about 60 seconds in. They are down the foxhole now. The only question is, what tunnel of reactions (order of them) will they take?
Totally... that was also my journey
Its just a a name 1997, this was from 2014
1997 was Su's birth year and this was on her 16th birthday.
I was thinking the same thing Alizee. I know their ages and the math didn't add up lol.
I loved your reactions. A great performance.
May I suggest reacting to Ijime Dame Zettai at Sonisphere festival 2014.
This performance was the first time doing a concert outside of Asia. The first performance outside of Japan was in 2013 in Indonesia.
Great job.
Thank you guys! one needs the Fox God in everyday life I'm glad you did it. get your latest LIVE BabyMetal blue-rays the things that are on YT are good but you'll see.
Yes! Anything from Babymetal is mental! Go watch everything and you won't be dissapointed, also this song MV is lit and more kawai because the girls are so tiny there, as well as different live versions, is almost like every one of them is unique.
Anyway you better stop this now or else you going to fall down right in the Fox Hole and of course is trippy af, don't worry we'll be right behind you back you up! \m/
"Yes! Anything from Babymetal is mental!" and most of it is metal too ! :-) (mental/metal, just a single letter difference)
@@autohmae lol 🦊🤘
Crowd interaction is a HUGE part of the greatness that is Babymetal..... Road of Resistance, Karate at download 2016, or IDZ at sonisphere 2014, all show awesome crowd interactions. and as for not sounding like their previous song.... Let it be known, NONE of Babymetals song sound like each other.... So if you found a song you like, and hope they would do something similar or along the same vein... Not likely gonna happen.. If you like the band, try Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of God intro....Its a solo of Su Metal and a solo by the band....if you are going to react more to BM, live concerts is the way to go... Live Babymetal is Best Babymetal.. Enjoy your exploration into their songs! 🤘🦊🤘
FINALLY! You just took the head dive down the rabbit hole! :D Well.. just buckle up, you're in for a RIDE! 😁🤘
me already lost count watching Headbanger Legend 1997 version and it still awe me.
Welcome to Babymetal. About the same reaction I had the first time I saw this. I had seen some reaction videos, Gimme Chocolate, Doki Doki Morning, and was looking for more WTF videos, thinking "fun gimmick". Then I came across this video. Like a slap upside the face with a brick. All concept of gimmick got tossed out the window, coming to the realization of "this is for real, there is something serious going on here." The more I dug into it, the more I was captured by it. That was 4 years ago and 10s of thousands of dollars later, money spent following this group on tour. I've been attending concerts for a long time. I've seen the all time greats, from Pink Floyd and Sabbath, to Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, in their hay days, and I can honestly say, Babymetal is the best live band I've ever seen. The band is basically a supergroup of the best musicians Japan has to offer. The girls are joy amplifiers. I don't know how they do it but they project joy and energy into the audience, who reacts to it, sending it back to the stage, where it is amplified further and sent back into the audience. They are so well rehearsed, so professional in their approach, that they are amazingly consistent in their performances. Every night is a good night, I've never seen a bad one. But there are some nights where it becomes something else.... something magical. They are...... for real.... and yes, you are ready for Rondo of Nightmare at Budokan, a video which Amuse normally does not normally bother reactors.
Babymetal is a great band. Thank you for a interesting review.
I am given to understand that this is the story of a 15-16 year old's first heavy metal concert and her desire to go to one before she has to go back to school as she fears that she may not be able to see one for until after she graduates years from now. Kitsune up! 🦊
