F Hero is Thai, so the rap portion was in the Thai language, while Su's singing was in Japanese. It's an interesting mix for this song. Kawaii is pronounced just like Hawaii, but with a K, while Kowai "koh-why" actually means scary, or afraid. At times, both words can describe Babymetal.

Definitely recommend you guys try their song headbanger!

Kawaii Metal is the invention of Babymetal's producer, who could see that Su had the potential to sing over a full on Metal band...and that's where the legends began! You've both clearly been intrigued enough by Road of Resistance to want to know more so hats off to you for digging for more info. Babymetal fans will not only give you more subscribes, likes and comments than most fan bases, we will give lots of info and suggestions too. Pa-pa-ya (the best Metal song about tropical fruit ever!) was a good choice as it's more recent (2019) and completely different to Road of Resistance. As I commented on your Road of Resistance reaction, Su Metal (or, as she is often referred to, Our Metal Queen or Our Metal Goddess) is a gifted soprano with a vocal range of C4 to G#5 and practices her breath control so that she can dance and sing so well by exercises such as running full pelt on an treadmill and then leaping off to sing a verse. There are 4 solos she does (and also 4 duets from Moa and Yui, the other 2 girls) and there is one from her 20th birthday which is heartbreakingly beautiful (No Rain, No Rainbow, Live in her home city of Hiroshima, 2018: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqXpNJny8nQmY0.html ) and an earlier one which has a superb guitar duet in the middle and is a great song (Akatsuki, live at Black Night: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZhjapV0mraufIE.html ). There is also a solo called Rondo of Nightmare, with an intro by the Kami Band, who all get a chance to show off their talents individually before Su joins them on stage to sing her heart out (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrlxp8h8zKe5e5s.html ). Hopefully, you'll keep on trying more Babymetal. Just remember that Kawaii Metal means excellent music and the tightest choreo ever alongside Su's excellent vocals with an end result of giving us headbanging music while also making us smile broadly (something no other Metal band I've seen in the 44 years since I first saw Sabbath live in 1976 has ever given me). Their choreographer, by the way, was due to take a small break from her decade of teaching Babymetal to organise the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony ...but that's cancelled for now. Stay safe out there, girls!

If you're looking for any more Babymetal going forward, specifically for you guys I think Ijime Dame Zettai at sonisphere 2014 and Akatsuki live at Black Night might be good options. The former being a song about ending bullying forever, and the latter being a solo song for Su (the lead singer) with tons of power.

I would recommend the song Megitsune from their first album. It is the song that got me hooked on the band and the song I always return to. Thank you for your reactions! :)

First and foremost you must understand that every song is completely different. They delve into every genre of music you can think of. From traditional Japanese folk music in Megitsune, to death metal in Sis Anger. From Ska in YAVA! to a symphonic ballad in No Rain No Rainbow. They even do Scandinavian folk metal like Meta Taro and Pirate metal like Oh Majinai! They have so much variety. You cannot judge them on just 1 or 2 songs. Keep listening, you'll get it.

You 2 are Sooo fun...Live baby metal....Hype Energy....and Their Lead singer,....Great Vocals

y'all should listen to rondo of nightmare with mischiefs of god into

Don't know how much you know about guitar players but a left handed player are rare.This band has a female left handed guitarist. FROZEN CROWN - In The Dark .The male guitarist has a great voice.I think you will be surprised.

The song is about summer represented by spicy Thai papaya salad. F. Hero is a Thai rapper who designed his rap with the cadence of the sound of mashing unripened papaya in a mortar and pestle.

Glad to see you ladies start to understand why Babymetal has such a huge appeal, and I think the decider for you would be if you checked out the music video for their very first song - "Doki Doki Morning". For context - the song was their first song ever and it released in October 2011; The lead singer was 13 and the other two girls were 11. Yes, 13 and 11 years old.

Okay, so a few more BABYMETAL songs to check out: BABYMETAL Death (from the Legend 1997 concert) Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Gods of Mischief intro) Headbanger (from the Legend 1997 concert) Distortion Enjoy!

By the way the song is about a spicy papaya Thai salad. F.Hero is a well known Thai rapper who was asked to not only perform but he wrote the rap lyrics (in Thai).

I agree with her, I love that I have no idea what they're saying. Someone asked me one time what they were saying and my reply was "I have no fucking idea but I absolutely love it!!"

hello ladies, I am 66 years old metal fan from Germany. (since 1969: Whole Lotta Love by Led Zepplin). You guys are just great. I love you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

⚡ 💕 / 🌶 🌞 That's great. You went for the party tune. : ) This is a Summer festival song. "Matsuri Da!" (It's a festival!) I wasn't aware of him before this collaboration, but F.HERO is a well known rapper in Thailand. His rap was all in Thai. The lyrics in the rap section even mention Som Tam (spicy Thai papaya salad). This one was filmed at Yokohama Arena on the second of two nights, so everyone knew to bring a towel to wave, or to get one from the merch stand before the show started. Original member Yuimetal (Yui Mizuno) announced she was leaving the group for health reasons in October 2018, but had not been on stage with BABYMETAL for a year before that. They announced at their first concert of 2019 (the night before this one) that a dancing support role would be rotating between three new "Avengers". They are Riho Sayashi (former Morning Musume), Kano Fujihira (Sakura Gakuin), and Momoko Okazaki (a Sakura Gakuin graduate). This music video has Kano, along with lead singer Su-metal (Suzuka Nakamoto) and the other original member, Moametal (Moa Kikuchi). BTW, I'm still recommending 'Headbangeeeeerrrrr!!!!!': kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5imqK6A0sqVmqc.html

This is one Rob Zombie's favorite groups. The song is referring to the papaya (Fruit, native to Mexico and surrounding areas)

Band Maid is another group from Japan that is also Kawaii metal and they do all their own interments and singing also. I challenge you to look into them. I have been a follower of BBABYMETAL for about 4 years and wish that I found them sooner I love the energy they give and a rebirth in that of the music they have worked to make and be part of starting the Kawaii genre. I saw them on their last tour in the U.S. this past year.

Headbanger and baby metal death both from the legend of 1997 concert. then look for BxMxC. There's only fan cam for this last song The stuff from Sweden is pretty clean This is a wow factor. This is one of their newest songs

Love u 2. Keep on whatching Babymetal !!! Regards from Germany

Nekrogoblikon: no one survives. Funny and a great song people haven't heard

Being in the room when they play this is just about the best fun you can have standing up

Now it's time for IRON MAIDEN! Hallowed by the Name, live 1982, Fear of the Dark, live 2001, and The Trooper, live 2011!

You may have noticed one of the girls was different, that is because Yuimetal left the group and they got 3 back up dancers.

I would recommend "The One" to hear a different side of them. Their coordination and stage shows is a big part of it, and try to imagine dancing like that and manage not to sound out of breath! I can barely walk fast and talk without getting out of breath ;)

Stages of Baby metal goes from shock , disbelief, hatred, just bearable, slight enjoyment, fully engrossed

BABYMETAL - Ijime Dame Zettai at sonisphere 2014 (Ijime, Dame, Zettai means No More, Bullying, Forever)

Y'all are hilarious! Have you heard *The Warning* ? They are 3 sisters from Mexico, 2 still in their teens. Their cover of Metallica’s Enter Sandman went viral 6 years ago (21+ million views) and now they are working on their 3rd album and have had to postpone a 30-city North American tour. This is Dust to Dust, from their Queen of the Murder Scene album, a girl’s descent into murder and madness. And the drummer sings lead on this song *while drumming* ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7xomtN616-2aac.html

Headbangerr is the best they do....awesome live

I know where this leads to. 😂 After liking F-Hero so much the Two Rocking Grannies will buy Papayas and make some salad. It's Summer Time! 🦊🤘

No one better live than Iron Maiden 👍🤘🤘🤘

Something to remember about BABYMETAL. You don't expect, you experience. Every BABYMETAL song while the same style (kawaii metal) is a completely different experience. Also, only BABYMETAL can so casually sing about food and make it so epic (Yes, this song is about papaya in summer 😂😂)

We do love some Papaya, specially during hot season,

Kawaii culture is actually part of punk culture in Japan, and so is Lolita culture. America stans their sisters in satin and lace. I see you guys covered Headbanger, but one of my favorites is Megitsune. It's one of their older ones and incorporates Japanese imagery and instruments into it.

Karate is one of my favorite songs by them, i can't get over those vocals from Su...

I think you guys liked this one more cause it was more structured and less chaotic. Road of Resistance as a first song can be a lot to take in. It's still my favourite song though! I agree with Kebobs here. Next songs for you guys should probably be Ijime, Dame, Zettai live in the UK and Akatsuki live at Budokan Black Night. Have a great day/night!

I will always consider this one of their best songs. Reminds me of their song Chocolate though.

It takes a few listens but Su-Metal does sing English as well. Kawaii Metal is a brand new genre created by the producer behind Baby Metal

You are usually hooked by the third song. These 3 girls and the Kami Band are amazing.

Who would've thought a tropical fruit can be made into a metal song hahaha yeah we asians are weird sometimes but hey if it works it works. There is no need to understand the song this is a party song so not much understanding needed 🤣🤣🤣

Your should checkout a band called Flaw. 2 really good songs by them to be introduced are “Payback” and “Whole” off their debut album titled ‘Through The Eyes.’ Another song I could recommend is “My Letter.”

Yes .In my head for WEEKS..SAME HERE

Samurai wakes up after 150 years and sees this. "wait...we...LOST the war?!?"

it's one of those songs that you can turn your brain off and just enjoy. My kids put this on and watch me bounce around in my chair dancing.

So glad to see two lovely ladies enjoying BABYMETAL! Love this band!!

This song is, no fooling, about a spicy Thai green papaya salad. You should be aware that Babymetal songs are all different. They blend genres like no one else. Some suggestions for you if you'd like to hear more from them... Rondo of Nightmare - a solo by the lead singer with lead-in solos from the band - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br1yd8x9srS-k3k.html No Rain, No Rainbow (Legend S) - a more "pure" solo - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqXpNJny8nQmY0.html Sis Anger - the other two get to sing - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eMB8jcagvMCvfmQ.html

If you like their more recent music, I'd recommend starlight. It's tribute song to Yui-metal, the girl (who did dance and scream) who left the BABYMETAL and to Mikio Fujioka one of the Kami -band guitarists who died in 2018

Best way to have a spicy Papaya-salad! :-)

This is 2RG going down a fox shaped rabbit hole...

Just watched this reaction with a big smile on my face. That was really fun, and I also agree on how important it is to not drop right away before checking out more of their content. Believe it or not, you might not like one or two songs, but you definitely will be surprised if you keep listening to them.

Granny Hayes, I think we’re kindred spirits. The masculine guttural screaming is my favorite type of vocals.

I wish my grannies were as metal as you guys!

Gotta give the girls credit for jumping around the whole time, and they do that for almost every song at their shows. I suggest watch "Karate" next. Extra kudos for closing with Metallica's "Four Horsemen"! It's in my top 5 favorite songs!

The whole thing is that Babymetal can't be considered as a classic Metal Band but more on the "Japanese Idol Music Field " that's really MORE complex and full of stuff that no japanese usually can't understand at all :D The first album was a crazy mix, the second more classic, the third one back with crazy stuff but with many external collaborations like the one in this song :D And Babymetal can be really only appreciated when you are with the crowd and survive it :P

The previous song is now blocked on KZfaq by the way. This is great :)

The song blends 3 languages (Japanese, Thai, and English bits) and its actually part of Babymetal's theme to present mysteries to pull apart. The overall lyrical meaning of Papaya is a reference to Thai summer-time treats, but it's mixed with some slang that means "live how you wish" - so it basically says "Grab some papaya, let's party, bring it on". A sort of rebellion from the typical everyday reserved nature of Japanese culture. All metaphors and slang aside... It''s a song about papaya the fruit, but somehow totally bad-ass.

My favorite BABYMETAL song closely followed by Megitsune and Karate as tied for 2nd.

there is also a vid around where rob halford [singer for judus priest] sings with them its great to watch him kinda of past the metal torch to the girls

Hahaha! I find it hilarious that you prefer one of their least metal songs over one of their most metal ones :-D

Since you liked the backing band so much (they are absolutely outstanding musicians) you should definitely check out "Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of God Intro". In the Mischief of Gods Intro the Kami band get to show off and each have there solo part.

It was a wonderful experience helping you at subway today thanks for the name of your page I'm a huge metal fan plus I love watching people's reactions to it!!

I've never seen a channel grow so fast. Great idea gals.

I love how you're spreading "Analyze Before You Criticize", such a helpful thing in life.

the chorus of this song sounds like an opening of a anime

Everyone reacts to BabyMetal the same. First song is “what did I just listen to”. Then the second or third song it’s more of “ ok this is actually cool”. They started as a fusion of Japanese pop music and heavy metal. That’s why they have so much of the choreography and dancing with the metal guitar and drums. And somehow it works out and pulls you in. Love your reactions and how open minded you are to new groups. Not enough people give different music a chance and always love to see people open to new music

Nice reaction again. It seems like you cope better with the kawaii side of Babymetal when it is coupled with their more fun songs rather than the bigger contrast when the song is more obviously the sort of metal that might more usually be expected to take itself seriously. If I'm right its no bad thing, they have a lot of good fun songs.

GIMME CHOCOLATE!! - BABY METAL THATS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THEM !!!

I’d love to see y’all watch Mudvayne either Dig or Happy? Great fun little show!

You two should check out Ningen Isu Heartless Scat three Japanese gentleman in their 50s rocking out.

Your videos are fun. I enjoy their older music but to each their own

I think you ladies will like ...give me chocolate ...by baby metal also check that one out🤟🤟👍👍

This is interesting, you like the songs that are middle of the pack for me. I don't dislike Pa Pa Ya, but somehow I feared your reaction to this more than I feared your reaction to Road of Resistance. I'm really glad you appreciated it. I'm trying to come up with new recommendations based on this knowledge, but somehow I'm drawing a blank. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to come up with something. Still do recommend Rondo of Nightmare with Mischiefs of God intro though, I'm sure you'll love it.

React to BABYMETAL with her song Headbanger

I love BabyMetal they’re in my top 5. If you like this song you’ll like some of their others like Gimmie Chocolate, Death, rondo of nightmare, iine, uki uki midnight, doki doki morning, karate, and the one (English version) i’d also like to hear what y’all think of Band-Maid’s day dreaming, thrill, Ooparts, time, start over. GIRLFRIEND’s KisekiRush, mirailist, and Yonsoku. Roselia’s louder, hidamari Rodonaito. Van Halen’s eruption (Live without a net version)

The best of babymetal is their live performance. The band is amazing and the girls never miss a beat.

If you are interested in more Japanese lady rock bands, there are BAND-MAID, LOVEBITES, Mary's Blood, Fate Gear or Aldious and there are many others. I would recommend for a starter "Domination" by BAND-MAID or "When Destinies Align" by LOVEBITES. There is a young lady who plays guitar in Mary's Blood named Saki and she is one of the best metal guitarists anywhere these days, "Marionette" is a great starter for Mary's Blood. The main difference is that they all play their own instruments.

Another really good Japanese metal band would be DEVILOOF and DADAROMA. They are in a genre of metal called Visual Kei.

I'll throw a recommendation on the pile here... Devin Townsend, Kingdom, Live for EMGtv.

One of the strengths of Baby Metal is the fact they are so versatile. Just about every song is different. To give you an example. BxMxCx is 100's different to this one...versus Ashanti,Ashanti,Ashanti...vs Road of resistance. All equally good.

If you like sci-fi, check out Coheed and Cambria. They’re albums span a huge, conceptual sci-fi universe. Check out either “Welcome Home” or “In Keeping if Silent Earth:3”

When it comes to Babymetal, the way to approach them is..... "Don't think... Feel". The smiles and laughs you demonstrated here is what Babymetal is all about. Two words, three letters each.... F.U.N. and J.O.Y. Even people who don't like them tend to develop what I call "The Babymetal Smile". Being a 56 years old grandfather of five whose been in the audience for this song on three different occasions, I can testing it's all about F.U.N. and J.O.Y. and that you find both a-plenty within the fanbase. Concerts are less a concert than they are a celebration. BTW.... To my Grandkids, I'm not a Grand Pa.... I'm "Poppa Dude." :)

So, for giggles, should we show them the brain-bending crazy that is Ladybaby?

I actually really like this song... totally a favorite

BABYMETAL - HEADBANGER LIVE AT BUDOKAN BLACK NIGHT 2014

What's even more amazing is how they sound best live. A lot of their songs are recorded live

Hi 2RG! You two are awesome. Ya'll should do a reaction to the band Periphery - checkout their songs Stranger Things, Marigold, Reptile, or Satellites. I think you'll enjoy them and they're a sneaky popular band to react to. Keep on keepin' on!

Granny Hayes...if you love good instrumental...and Japanese girls who play their own instruments...watch: Band-Maid - Onset Its an instrumental-only song they use mid-concert to give a break to their singer. Its an all girl group and the play their own instruments. Band-Maid is a rock band though, while Baby Metal is a metal band that experiments with other flavors of music. Band-Maid is topping the rock charts in Japan right now and are becoming crazy popular, even at an international level. They're nothing like Baby Metal (structurally), but I think you'll like them more.

If you haven't yet, give Ningen Isu a listen. Any song but i recommend heartless scat or colors from space. Those guys are awesome.

Yeah another fun Baby Metal song is Gimme Chocolate

Who would've thought that I would be taught what Kawaii meant by 2 grannies. I heard so many people saying it but never knew the meaning

Gotta see the BabyMetal review cuzz BabyMetal is AWESOME? Watch the BabyMetal videos that have English subtitles. Some are crated by fans. They are much more interesting than non English one for English speaking people! PA PA YA is singing about being at a fiesta! Like listening to Metal music is a Fiesta!

Nice to see you guys enjoying Babymetal more now that they are older, and their music/sound has matured with them, may i suggest you check out Distortion and Starlight official music videos👌👌

Check out the band Lovebites and Galneryus (especially Angel of Salvation live) from Japan!

Oh love this band❤️

I think you would like Shanti Shanti Shanti too if you like this song. I agree that they are better now they are older, but most fans seem to prefer them when they were kids, which is a little sad IMO. Another song I really like from their new album is Kagerou. This is the last time they played it before coronavirus shut everything down, and it's a great performance: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b82RqbST0sy5YoU.html

react BABYMETAL Death (from the Legend 1997 concert)

Headbanger is good

Fair to Midland - Musical Chairs is a fun prog metal song

If you want to listen to the Babymetal song that everybody knows, and is the most recognised song by them, you should definitely listen to "Babymetal - Gimme Chocolate". It was my first introduction to Babymetal, and a real WTF experience, because I could not understand what I had just experienced. But it is now one of my most favourite Babymetal songs because of that experience! I just discovered Babymetal on January 1. And was so lucky to get tickets for their very first concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on February 5. That was actually sold out long before I got to know of them. So it was very special to me. But I can tell you this much. If you keep listening to songs by Babymetal, you will go down the "Fox Hole", as they call it because they believe believe that they are driven by the Fox God. 🦊 There is a whole lore about Babymetal. It's really amazing! But Babymetal is definitely not a cult!!! Anyway one of the great things about Babymetal is that none of the songs sound alike. So you will always hear something different with every song you hear. And as you progress in to the Babymetal Univers, you will get to learn about the fun and playful Black Babymetal which is Yui and Moas part of Babymetal. The front singer is Suzuka Nakamoto aka Su-metal. And the two original sidekicks are Yui Mizuno aka Yui-metal, and Moa Kikuchi aka Moa-metal. And I say original because Yui has left Babymetal because of health related reasons. Today she is only partially replaced by a group of dancers they call the Avengers who are 3 girls who perform the dance instead of Yui. The three girls are Riho, Momoko and Kano. They don't sing, only dance! Babymetal has said that Yui will always be a member of Babymetal, even though Yui has said that she will not be returning to Babymetal, and will concentrate on her own solo career. But there are rumours in the Asian Babymetal fan community, that Yui will return for the Babymetal 10'th Anniversary Concert. So everybody is hoping it's true. Last I will give you some short facts about Babymetal. The fans of Babymetal are called "The One", and Babymetal has made an anthem to their fans called "The One" which they have made in a Japanese version as well as an English version, so you should definitely check it out. Babymetal started as part of the Idol group Sakura Gakuin, but became such an unexpected success, that Su, Yui and Moa got to keep doing Babymetal after they were finished with Sakura Gakuin, and Babymetal became an independent unit under the Amuse agency. Babymetal has broken several records through their career, which I won't go into because I don't know them of the top of my head. But they have recently been voted one of the best 10 metal bands of all time, which I feel is well deserved as they have brought new life to an otherwise dieing genre. And they have even created a new sub-genre of metal, as you learned they call Kawaii Metal. I think they are amazing, and to know that they have already been doing this for 10 years since they were 10 and 12 years old is just mind-blowing! 🤯
