Babymetal are the Godzilla of the Japanese music industry and one of the top metal bands in the world. They just finished a tour on the European metal festival circuit where they absolutely killed it . They'll be touring the US starting in early November 🦊🤘

She sounds beautiful live. Both her vocals her screams and her growls. All 3 of them are great singers.

Su is an incredible talent and has been on stage singing and dancing since she was 8 at least. And she started with Babymetal when she was 12 (14 years ago). Her voice never waivers and is always astonishing live. The apocryphal story that a lot of us fans heard in the past is that she practices singing while running on a treadmill, though it's never been confirmed or denied, but the girls do say they train a lot for live shows and tours. I choose to believe Su-Metal is out there running full steam on a treadmill belting out songs at full force (even if she isn't).

The live versions are 99% of the time the way to go to really experience what Babymetal is really about. It's the live performances. The shows are absolutely amazing, especially if you go back to the early years, which I recommend. We are lucky to have a video of the show that basically propelled Babymetal into the international spotlight. The song is Ijime, Dame, Zettai (No More Bullying Forever) performed at Sonishpere 2014. All of them teenagers, in the first festival ever outside of Asia and in front of a notoriously hostile crowd in the UK who take their metal festivals quite seriously. To say it went well would be an understatement, so just check it out when you get a chance.

Next suggestion: - *Road Of Resistance* live in Japan official MV (2015), it's the most epic live version and with the best sound and technical execution by the best musicians you can find in Japan. But if you want a more recent song and live version i suggest you another powerful version: - *Monochrome* live at Makuhari Messe 2023 🦊🤘🔥

That was a great reaction. So many thoughts. Really don't worry about understanding the lyrics so much. As Queen Su herself says "Don't think, feel!" Ok, BM can obviously put out a great mv. That said the heart and soul of BM are their legendary live performances. The "live pro shots" are often best. If you have an official live video it is generally studio sound synced over live concert footage. Choreo is done by Mikiko Mizuno. One of Japan's premier choreographers. Babymetel's songs are generally thick with different highly produced layers. So backing tracks will be used live to give the sound the full richness of the studio version. But Su is singing live. Su's ability to do this has been a wonder since their earliest days. Typically Moa and Momo are her wing ladies providing extra vocals, crowd guidance and just their unique part of the BM magic. Babymetal were actually formed in 2010-yeah, they were young. Their 2014 (I believe) release of "Gimme Chocolate" is the WTF-to many westerners-song that really put BM on the music radar of the west. So these ladies are very seasoned pros at this point. This song currently has 193,000,000 views. Babymetal's music is always evolving and changing and now all in their 20's they are a different group then when they were in their early teens. But they are now and always will be Babymetal. One of the most positive, exciting, ground breaking musical acts to arrive in a very long time. My suggestion for a more recent performance is one of their classics "Megitsune" a song who at it's heart is about female empowerment. It is one of their all time favorites. "Megitsune" live at PIA Arena, Black NIght, April 2023 (link follows): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8qSpLRe0cqqj4k.html

subscribed.. always fun to see new people discovering Babymetal maybe because I always want to recall my experience back on 2014 when I first started discovered them have fun on your journey with Babymetal as I had and still have

Great reaction, thanks! Yes Su-metal always sing live. She uses backtracks sometimes to harmonize with herself, even live at the venue. She sounds incredibly good and you will be impressed. 😁 I personally like if you change the video aspect... but it's probably too distracting for you... although if it helps somehow... 👍‍ "Metali" (metari) is the combination of "metaru" (metal) and "matsuri" (traditional Japanese festival). So it's a "matsuri" influenced song and it's all about hyping the crowd and inviting them to dance and sing along. Musically, it's very groovy and funky. I love Su's clean yet aggressive vocals here. Really cool collaboration with Tom Morello who commented this: "I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns. I've been trying to work with them for some time and when they sent me the demo of 'Metali!!' I knew I could rock that shit like crazy!". Very happy for Momoko on her first song as an official member (this is from 2023 H2) and also for her feature on that kabuki (traditional Japanese theater) style interlude. Since you are going backwards in their discography, next should be something from The Other ONE album, so, here: "Believing" (Live at PIA Arena 2023): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osWadqmYrJy3eXU.htmlsi Enjoy your BABYMETAL journey in our Foxhole! 🤘🦊

🤘🦊🤘 I suggest live, it is where Babymetal shine. I suggest something from PIA arena last year, it was a great show.

Glad you gave them a chance. They have a song for every mood and will definitely surprise you. 98% of the time live is the way to go to see the choreo but the recorded version of this song is a good one. Enjoy the journey. :)

LETS GOO! I knew of BabyMetal for awhile now but I haven't really sat and listened to them, But watching you react to them has me hooked Abiiii :D and I'm loving the videos. It really makes me wanna go listen to more of their songs now and get into Babymetal! :D

Babymetal are one of the most polished hard working bands out there, the shows they do in Japan are spectacles and the production value is insane. Live is always the way to go but make sure the video says" live" in the title, some of their "official " videos are studio track over live footage but the "official live" videos are full on live and truly sound way better. You said "I love the Indian vibes going on" but this is more traditional Japanese sounding including the Japanese guitar the Shamisen and the Kabuki theatre break down in the middle, if you want to hear something with an Indian flare check out "Shanti Shanti Shanti" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9l-maV9td6uc3U.html , they have also many other ethnic sounding songs including Egyptian "Metalizum", Latin "Night Night Burn" among others. No matter what Babymetal song you listen to no two will sound the same. Since you're working your way towards their older stuff "Monochrome Live at PIA Arena" Or "Road Of Resistance" from the same show will really give you a good idea what a Babymetal show is all about. The Fox Hole is deep so buckle in and enjoy your trip down it.

Awesome reaction. You did amazing :) Su doesn't lip-sync. Well... there WAS ONE song where she lip-syncs, but she didn't hide it. You'll get to it eventually though I'm sure. BTW at the time that I'm writing this, you're already well past 500 subs so congrats lol You're at 631 (I'm the 1 lol). Su does have an amazing voice. She's one of my 2 favorite female vocalists with Morissette Amon being my other favorite. Thats another singer you should check out. You'll also get another big boost of subs that way too as Mori also has a large following. Anyhow back to Babymetal. Going backwards is different. I don't think I've ever seen a reactor do that before. Normally when they go in order they start at the beginning and work their way though each album, watching and seeing how the girls grew and matured with each album as they started VERY young. Su was only 14 and Moa and Yui (Yui later left the band due to health reasons sadly) were only 12, so they've actually been at this for a decade already! Even after watching their videos (live IS always best btw as that is where they really shine), there's other stuff you can check out if you REALLY get into them. There's lots of cuteness to be had should you wish to follow through with all that. Like Su's graduation speech and Moa's response where she breaks down and starts crying, very adorable. Or where the class organizes a surprise graduation celebration for Su and they end up scaring her and Moa and Yui have to chase her down to bring her back lol There's lots of fun stuff to watch later on too. You're going to have a lot of fun with this band. One thing to note before I end this. Babymetal likes to experiment. You're going to find that no two song sounds alike. Take Ratatata and Metali. Even though both were collabs, and they both sounded VERY different, regular Babymetal songs also sound JUST as different from one another. Some will be very high energy, some will bring you to tears, some will make you laugh, some will make you want to run a marathon. They like mixing things up and Su loves trying to convey the meaning of the song by how her singing makes you feel. She has stated as much in interviews. She doesn't want the language barrier to be a barrier so she wants you to be able to FEEL the song. Anyhow, keep up the great work and have fun doing what you're doing!

_Wasshoi!_ 🦊🤘🏮 Hey Abi welcome back to the Foxhole or just another way to say BabyMetal's journey, no rabbit here.😉 Thanks for coming back with this suggestion, it'll be interesting to going backwards but my suggestion is always going from around the beginning or early era songs so you can appreciate the evolution of this amazing group, but do as you please, it's all good. As for the live version pretty much always is better to enjoy the live performance, although there are some MV versions you will enjoy and feel the experience for the first time such Megitsune, Iine! Doki Doki Morning and Karate, these are the only few exceptions. We would love to see you reacting to a BM Guide, especially "The Not So Extensive BM Guide" by A Fox Song but meanwhile the answer is yes, they got one of the best dance choreographer in Japan, her name is MikikoMetal (aka Mikiko Mizuno, not related to Yui former member) she is utmost respect and even selected for the Olympics ceremony, she got her own dance group called Eleven Play and she is also behind another famous Jpop group called Perfume (which is official BM old sisters and oc under the same company Amuse), she was also choreographer of Sakura Gakuin where all these girls comes from. The other important member of this group is oc the creator and mastermind producer KobaMetal, but more of them later. You can find MomoMetal doing harsh vocals in three songs she did, during the live version of METALI!! which you can also find an official live, and when singing the second part of Headbanger!! during the special live show honoring her 21 birthday at Legend MM last March. And the more recent clip showing her unique skills was with RATATATA. Here's some official info about this song released last year. "This is officially the first new song by the newly reborn BABYMETAL, now consisting of SU-METAL, MOAMETAL, and MOMOMETAL. This song is very up-tempo and one that was created with the envision of a summer festival taking place in a metal village and everyone forming a circle to celebrate the festival. BABYMETAL is ready to make this summer even hotter with their new song. BABYMETAL are now celebrating a very special collaboration with legendary guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. This collaboration with BABYMETAL will become a very exciting opportunity for both artists transcending generations." Tom Morello comment: _"I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns. I’ve been trying to work with them for some time and when they sent me the demo of METALI!! I knew I could rock that shit like crazy!"_ The song title is Metali!! (metal + matsuri, which is a Japanese festival) and you can hear it in the spoken section when MomoMetal is doing the Kabuki moves style. Just so you know "wasshoi" is another shout used in Japanese festivals when men are carrying the shrine, similar to sore and soya in Megitsune and Karate. The traditional Japanese instrument you can hear in the beginning is a shamizen, also used in Megitsune. I can totally see why they pick Tom Morello on this, the groove, the catchiness, the super energetic jump and those typical 90's vibes at funk or alternative metal live concerts. This one is definitely a banger when performing live and they finally met along with Tom recently at Download Festival. Next suggestion: - Road Of Resistance live in Japan official live MV (2015) Don't worry about blurring or putting visual filters, feel frree to do it when you need it and dodge the copyright blocked. Also love when reactors put themselves with higher frame than the clip, that way i can appreciate and focus more on your reaction. Yesterday was MoaMetal's birthday so happy belated birthday, and today they just announced they will be in Brazil for the first time as part of Knotfest in October.🥳 Keep enjoying more BM songs and see you next time 🦊🤘❤

I did watch that first reaction and from what Iv'e seen for as long as I've known Babymetal...rarely have i ever seen anyone NOT enjoy the massive talent they possess. I couldn't believe you didnt get a feel for them and thought maybe there was something wrong with you (im kidding) cuz millions of others couldn't be wrong. So, i passed you by. Somehow, you apppeared back on my feed again so...."something's gotta give". Welcome to a wonderful world you almost missed. These young ladies will steal your heart and blow your mind and your sense of what you thought music was...will never compare to what you'll be hearing now. Listen to your subscribers, they'll know whats best for you now. And while you're on this fantastic journey into this foxhole, make sure you see where it all started and where all these young ladies met as w well. Lots of videos of them in school, graduating, etc. You'll laugh.....you'll cry....but you'll love everthing about them that much more. PS. Honestly....I seen the name Babymetal quite sometime ago and being the old school metalhead, i never listened. "for as long as I've known them"....its been only since May when i caught a countdown to their Ratatata video release in May. lol Since then, I've never loved any band and their music like I have with BabyMetal. You've gained another subscriber to watch what Ive just went through. Enjoy the ride Abigirl You're gonna love it Oh...if you're still looking for screams...watch Momobanger.

LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!😭😭😭

Welcome back, great reaction. My original comment has disappeared again, same as the first time when you reacted to 'RATATATA'. I'll just say the official videos are all good, but live is best - and no, Su sings live every time.

My most favorite song from Babymetal is the rendition of No rain, No rainbow in Hiroshima from the legend - S - Baptism XX in 2017 . SueMetal is from Hiroshima and she is almost in tears at the end of that balad rendition. Better than all the other version because of her emotion state in that particular song, location and time.

the choreographer of Babymetal is Mikiko one of the best choreographer in Japan and also the choreographer of IDOL GROUP PERFUME and also the Dance Director of Japan performance in Rio Olympics Closing..

I also didn't know I needed BabyMetal until I clicked on BabyMetal's thumbnail. Then I clicked one after another. Thanks for your great reaction.

Hello Abigirl! New subscriber here for all the Babymetal, who introduced me to the amazing Asian rock/metal scene being led by very talented women. I highly recommend the latest release from Babymetal, a live performance of "Brand New Day" It is pure musical and visual bliss! Also, get your ticket now for their US tour this November. I have mine for Hollywood, FL! Have a beautiful day!

Hello and welcome to the foxhole. I am a 58 year old German and stumbled in the Foxhole for two years ago. Since then I'm a babymetal fan. i seen them live in Munich and it was amasing. But be careful! Resistance is futile... So have a good time Kitsunes... 狐神のために 🦊🤘

Loved this, pause/stop/talk/blur all you want to be comfortable and say your piece - no BM fan will complain, anyone who does is worth ignoring. Yes Su-Metal is better live; her breath control, precision, and power are legendary. She can hold a note while jumping (see the song "Kingslayer" live collab with Bring me the Horizon as one example). You can spend years finding new instances of live performances and continue to be blown away, I know this from personal experience. Look forward to more! Btw: Mikiko Mizuno, also known as MIKIKO, is the main choreographer for Babymetal. She has been with the group since their formation and is responsible for their iconic dance routines. She is also the director and principal choreographer of the dance troupe Elevenplay, and has worked with other notable artists such as Perfume.

Do "Monochrome Live at Pia Arena"

Great reaction! Thank you for reacting to more BABYMETAL!! 🤘🦊🤘

Great reaction! There is really nothing I can add to what has most certainly already been said...except that you have been introduced to the most diverse, fun and unexpected band that I myself have ever run across. So many songs have positive or uplifting lyrics, and for us "older" fans (I am 61 and "discovered them" in 2017) it has been like watching your grandkids grow up, and feeling so proud of them! Especially given that got much hate for many years be some in the metal community...but they have persevered and I love it! Live is almost better...and I am sure there have been many suggestions provided...but honestly, I am looking forward to your next one, what ever it may be. Keep up the good work and I am a new subscriber as of now! Oh...however you feel you need to modify a video to post it, go right ahead...I am here for the reaction (have seen all the videos multiple time, lol!)

🤘🦊🤘 The live shows are amazing. I suggest 2 songs, just to see how the crowd reacts. First an older one, "Road to Resistance" from 2016. The second is "Headbanger", BUT the "Moabanger" version. This is the live version there is Moametals 20th birthday. There are a lot more and I hope you enjoy it.

Do live whenever you can. The only exception I would make is "Karate". Bu t you should see the original video and then the Download Festival version.

As I am sure you have been informed, you should always react to a live version of the song. With Babymetal Live is always better. They always make sure that the audience or as they are called "The One" is involved. They have great chemistry with the audience.

When in doubt do the live version, you won’t be disappointed

already a lot of great suggestion in the comment, i just want to stress out more to check their live. I know that normally one would watch the official video, but live show are where these girls just slay. For instance, Metali! live has a special part for Momoko that is NOT present in the video

Hi from Ireland, great reaction you are heading for epic live shows, always try to go live definitely agree with nocturn-al pia arena shows 2023, monochrome live at pia, then road of resistance and megitsune live at pia. To appreciate the strength of sumetal, then sometime road of resistance live in Japan she was 17, you will be truly amazed, sumetal also has solo performances, Amore, rondo of nightmare, no rain no rainbow, have subscribed and liked

I subscribed from your Ratatata reaction. Like that one, I really enjoyed you starting to better discover Babymetal here. In case you didn't see my comment on the Ratatata reaction, please do yourself a favor with Electric Callboy and watch their videos first. Pretty much the opposite of what everyone recommends for Babymetal. It isn't that they aren't great live, but you will appreciate their live performances of a song so much more after seeing their amazing (and usually hilarious) videos first. Then, you will understand why they are wearing a particular costume for certain songs. Plus, you will get to hear the lyrics much better that way. (Also, it might be confusing if you see references to Eskimo Callboy. That was their original name before they changed it to the current around the time when Nico, the clean vocal lead, joined the group.)

I love this reaction! So, I'm 47, my wife and I saw them twice in Texas last year and they put on easily the best live performances I've ever witnessed! They have an insane relentless energy, the synch dancing is mezmerizing, Su's voice hits inside your chest live, and the stage presence of all three of them is something you can actually feel! As reactions go, it's always tricky with Babymetal but I believe it's hard to go wrong. Most the time, live is better. But there are a few official music videos (like this one!) Which ARE VERY well done and worth reacting to in addition to live! I'll let the rest of the fanbase steer you, just enjoy the journey! No two songs sound alike. They have intense detailed choreo every single song. The messaging ranges from silly to super serious. They're truly a marvel!

This band brings so much happiness its way too infectious

I recommend you to check some more BABYMETAL song (old and new) and then, watch the "Not so extensive guide to BABYMETAL" that explains a lot of who they are, where they come from and much more interesting staff 🦊

Great reaction! Legendary group. As good as Su is here, she is WAY better live. She does not do any lipsync, just pure talent.

Please please please check out much of their live videos, especially the budokan 2014 shows! Subbed for Babymetal and callboy!

ありがとう！ 🔥🤘🦊 From🇯🇵

Babymetal is that band. From dusk til dawn live is incredible

Thanks for coming back❣Next BABYMETAL is「Road Of Resistance in japan」or 「From Dusk Till Dawn in japan (Budo-Kan 2021)」This is amazing😱😝🦊🤘

You got this. Ignore the rude boys. Live is best. Welcome to the fox hole. 🤘🦊🤘

Another great video Abby! I haven't really encountered Baby Metal much, but I'll be happy to join you on this journey. Keep em coming.

@abigirlreacts You are amazing Sis! This video is dope af! I dig the music, you’ve made me a fan now haha, I’m also so happy to see you making content again! Have I said that yet? 😂😂😂😅😅😅

According to some interview I heard, Su rehearses the songs on a treadmill.

To hear some of how Su-Metal sounds live, check out the BXMXC (Legend MM) that they just dropped! I've heard them perform that song live twice and yes - it sounds like that in person too. Copyright may be tricky on that one, not gonna lie, but I think it'll be worth it to hear Su's ridiculous range. Great channel, great reactions btw! Please keep it up; I can't wait to see you grow on here!

Su-Metal's vocals are amazing live and she does add some vocal flourishes and slides that aren't on the album versions. And when you consider how much they move around on stage...it is staggering to think she can sing at all let alone with the strength and clarity she pulls off live. I work on just on playing guitar and singing live...can't imagine a full-on aerobic workout while singing.

Another great reaction! If you're going backwards I'd say you have Leave it all Behind up next. It's another fantastic collab. No live version from BabyMetal exists (yet). The live versions of tracks are great but if there's a MV 100% check it out as it offers another level of BabyMetal. As a content creator I'd personally choose the MV and then watch the live. Only because there are numerous live performances and it can be difficult to navigate. In saying that, there are some AMAZING live performances out there.

Great enthusiastic reaction. 🙂 Btw, BM just released a new live video, for Yava, one of their older (but great) tracks - it might be something to react to as well.

Thank you very much for the reaction. Abi-Metal, as long as it's Babymetal, you can do anything... we're here. And live, these three wonderful women are of course a force of nature, so yes, please a live video next time. Preferably something from the PIA Arena performance, Road Of Resistance would be my favorite right now. Greetings from Germany. Forever THE ONE 🤘🦊🤘

Great reaction! Welcome back to Babymetal. Babymetal is by design, a live performance band. Their MVs are great, but ALWAYS choose live! Su’s vocals are live 95% of the time. The backing vocals sees a but more track usage. Next suggestion: *Road of Resistance* _Pia Arena MM 2023_ for a recent version, or _Official Live_ for Jan 2015, when they were 15/17. Both are amazingly epic. Look forward to more Babymetal! 🤘🦊

BABYMETAL music videos are awesome, the live videos are even better. I recommend you to react to their official video and a live video, two videos in the same reaction. Also, please look up the lyrics. Talk about the lyrics, try to understand and dissect them. Recommending: Ijime, Dame, Zettai official music video the Live at Sonisphere 2014 version of the same song. This was a live show that made history.

Most of their lyrics are in Japanese. They do include some English but most of those are available on the albums which are distributed by their Western distribution partner and the versions in Japan remain in Japanese.

⚡ 💕 🍑 / 🦊 🏮 Metal can be "metaru". Festival is "matsuri". The song title, メタり！！ is "Metari !!" (or "metali"), a combination of those two things. Su-metal sings live, without lip synching. There are some backing harmonies and occasional vocal effects on her voice. It is surprising that she can dance without throwing her voice off. You might notice that the other two members are often still vigorously dancing, while Su slows down to sing.

"Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!“ Great reaction - welcome back. The song title translates as 'Metali' (or 'Metari') - it wouldn't show up in translations because it is a made up word, it is a fusion of the words metal and matsuri (festival). The song is about a Metal Village holding a metal festival, so they have included all the matsuri shouts everybody would be calling out as encouragement to the people carrying heavy floats etc like "Sore, Sore", "Dokoisho" and "Wasshoi!". They are inviting us all to dance. The lyrics (Su sings it and it is in Momometal's kabuki theatre section) say about we are all fools - the fools who watch and the fools who dance ... so as we're all here and we're all fools why just watch, we may as well all dance. You mentioned an Indian feel - this one is all Japanese (the stringed instrument at the start and playing throughout is a shamisen). They do have a song that is a full on appreciation of Indian music (or Bollywood) - that one is 'Shanti Shanti Shanti' (and yes they used a sitar). The official videos are all great and worth seeing (two or three are almost essential viewing) - but live BABYMETAL is where they are always at their best .... and yes Su-metal can do all that and sing live (and sound even better), no lip-sync. The whole concept was formed around her talents for very good reason.

Now you've gone and done it, you've unleashed the Kitsunes. Get ready to be inundated by the views, comments and sub's every time you react to BABYMETAL 😂🦊🤘

Oh i can’t wait until you get to Pa Pa Ya feat F Hero. You will be stunned to silence at the crowd and their performance

Wash your mouth out with soap ! Su Lip Sync 😮 🤣 Joking apart 👍 Su is even better live. You have yet to see the best of Su . I will surrgest Monochrome and Road of Resistance live version 😁 Great reaction. i enjoyed it 🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼

Always do the official live versions for BABYMETAL.

They have an Olympic level (literally) choreographer named Mizuno Mikiko (Mikiko Mizuno for us westerners). It's difficult to find BM videos with captions for the lingually impaired but they DO exist 😜so just do what you gotta do and don't worry about the rest, the fans will translate if necessary. For catchy party type songs from them I recommend PaPaYa, and you've already seen Ratatata.

Good reaction enjoyed it, do Electric callboy We got the moves it's definitely one of their best and a great live Babymetal is Karate at download festival, keep it up

Thanks for the fun reaction. Just a heads up on their live performances...because the choreography is so important during live shows, their is a light backtrack you may occasionally hear. This is so the band and the dancers can stay in sync in order not to sound like a complete car crash. But SU Metal is singing 100 percento and even while jumping around can still sound great. She is a highly trained vocalist/dancer who is probably the best at what she does. She's been singing/performing since she was a child and is the vocal Queen of Metal for a good reason.

Nice reaction, some reactors do MV and live, some MV are importante but 99% of the time you dont go wrong with a live

Great reaction, thanks. They are amazing live, check out a live version of We got the Moves and enjoy how the crowd goes nuts. Please also check out Hypa Hypa.

I would request Monochrome and Mirror Mirror from their latest album, live at PIA Arena 2023.

I know people say that the choreo is done by Mikoko Mizuno, but that's not the clear picture. The way Mikiko explains it, and this was 9 years ago, with a group like Perfume, the ladies come in, Mikiko gives them the steps, they practice a few hours, and they're done. Babymetal's process is different. They come in, Babymetal shows Mikiko the steps they have worked up, and Mikiko helps them refine their natural movements for performance, and it takes a day or two per song. But the ideas start with Babymetal, Moa actually.

Not sure if anyone answered your question, but in recent years they have designed much of their own choreo, consulting with their long-time choreographer for final polish.

Fun reaction! Don't sweat the lyrics. BABYMETAL works because they deliver the heart of their songs with choreo and attitude and vocals. If you don't think about it too much you can feel it and that's sort of part of the magic.

6:36 just so know, she has an effect on it at the end. Other amazing vocalists have done similar things in recent times, as a stylistic choice.

BMC live is a must!! SU kills it live!!! btw more babymetal

Off couse Su Metal sing live. There is a rumor that Su Metal trains her singing on a treadmill :)

Also @abs I think your videos have been decent and are getting a lot better, the transitions are awesome! 👌

A recomendation to learn more about Babymetal 😉: The 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘰 Extensive Guide to BABYMETAL (April 1st 2024) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6-SZdt22c7Ig5s.htmlsi=R3jOpY-b3EpnRNuI

Great reaction!🤘🦊♪

OMG..You have stepped over the point of no return already haha..

Dokkoisho, dokkoisho! BABYMETAL HAS GOT THEIR KAWAII BACK!!! (And I sincerely hope that they don't misplace it again!) (This music video would have been so much better had they not had Vin Diesel in the background wearing a panama hat and pretending to play guitar. LOL!!!! 😁 ) First, as I said before, I think you should start from the beginning and work your way forward: see where BABYMETAL has been before getting caught up in where they are (imagine watching their first MV when Su-metal was 13 and both Yui and Moa were12 when they recorded it!). Second, as a rule, you should go with live versions but there are several MV's that are worth looking into ("Doki Doki Morning", "Iine!", "Megitsune", "Karate", and "BxMxC"). With that it mind, there's no rule saying you can't take in both the MV and a good live version. Avoid compilation videos and fancams like the plague! Compilation videos are, in my opinion, an insult to both the viewer and the band; the music is certainly overdubbed, and the changes in venue and costumes (sometimes even personnel) can be confusing if not completely annoying. You are not reacting to BABYMETAL, you are reacting to a highlight reel of BABYMETAL. And fancams usually have very poor audio and video. I would suggest checking the video descriptions before diving in. When in doubt, check my YT playlist "BABYMETAL Top Twenty" ( kzfaq.info/sun/PLdhz2aj0pt4zPl0BZLevPUR9uHKQA27uj ) for excellent versions of selected songs. A technical suggestion, if I may: when you pause, go back about five or ten seconds before resuming, that way you regain the flow of the song. You may or may not know that if you tap your keyboard space bar once it will pause the video, another tap will resume play. Also, if you tap the left arrow key once, it will rewind the video five seconds (a second tap for another five seconds), and tapping the right arrow key will advance the video five seconds. This may also help baffle the YT copyright police. All in all, aside from the small pausing issue, I think you did an excellent job of editing. I'm not sure if you need to reverse the screen horizontally but if it works . . . . Keep rockin’ BABYMETAL!!! (Sorry about the wall again!) KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Yes, they have a choreographer they work with.

Metali is a portmanteau of the words "metal" and "matsuri" (a traditional Japanese festival), so the song is about a metal festival and draws heavy influences from traditional festival music. Although quite a few reactors have drawn an Indian influence in this song, it is 100% Japanese. The traditional instrument you can hear is a shamisen. Babymetal have a choreographer whose name is Mikiko "Mikikometal" Mizuno. She has been their choreographer for their entire career. The trick with their dance routines and Su-metal's vocals is that she mostly does a simplified version of the moves that Moametal and Momometal are doing, and the routines are designed so that she can be relatively still in the moments where she needs to sing and then she dances around that. In terms of what to react to, we always recommend the live versions because the interaction between the girls and the live audience is an integral part of their performance. I would suggest "Megitsune" Live @ PIA Arena 2023 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8qSpLRe0cqqj4k.html Don't worry too much about the copyright stuff. Babymetal's management company Amuse are notoriously strict on copyright enforcement, so reactors often have to mess with the video to get it past the content ID system and we're used to it.

Welcome to Babymetal! Honestly you're going to hear a lot of varying opinions on how to dive in to this. I would say do what you feel is best but yes definitely explore the live versions of songs as well. If you want a live version of a recent song I would suggest one of the following: Divine Attack: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n82qY6yXvqq3iqc.html Monochrome: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrCKm9xoy72yqY0.html Just a heads up about babymetal. They started when they were very young 14 years ago when Su was 12 and the other two were 10. They have a lot of history and you're going to be lore dumped big time (not a bad thing that's one of the compelling things about this group and the fan base) so there's a lot of history and growth to their songs with fairly clear eras. Babymetal fans are very passionate about you knowing every piece of it (again not a bad thing). At some point you might check out one of the guides that teaches you more about what they've been through and where they came from. It helps you appreciate them on a different level. Still it can be daunting so take it one step at a time and we'll be back to check them all out

Dont need to know Japanese as Su-Metal herself said dont think just feel. Welcome to the Foxhole and might i suggest you check out Megitsune live 2023 PIA arena or Monochrome same night 🦊

🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥 Wow, you're in for a treat with Su- Metals live vocals and dance. To be honest it's quite incredible really. Ohh and as a fellow non Japanese speaker I wouldn't worry to much about lyrics to start with just enjoy the show. Japanese to English translations are notoriously bad and can take away from the experience.

Well, they have their on stage Choreographie Teacher Moa, that teaches and controls the other girls work 6 Fays per Week, but by Default thry have the best Choreographer all ovet jspan behonf their showd Mikiko Mizuno. And they did cut her are you ready growl. This means Momo is their newest member, she just joined the band in April pf 2023, oreviously she eas a silent guest dancer from 2019. And one of the main purposes of this number was to present her new capabilities, which were much bigger than Babymetal expected. In their last Collab, with Ekevtric Callboy she shared her Growls with Kevin.

Absolutely. Every live version is better. She doesn't lip sync during the concerts (maybe the earliest when there was still the fake band).

Welcome back to Foxhole Abi-Metal 😂😂

I arrived on the channel thanks to BABYMETAL

Go from older to newer. When they started out. All of the choreography was done by the people who the studio hired. As they got older, they had imput into the choreography, and now , they may still have someone in charge of it, but they have a lot of say in it. Su sounds the same live if not better. I saw them live last September. They only do an hour long set. I get why with all of the dancing they have to do, and thier record company are slave drivers. They player over 35 shows last summer crossing back and forth across the USA and Canada in less than 2 months. They are still on tour since then and are coming back to the states in a couple of months. I highly recommend going to see them if they are playing anywhere near you. The music videos are good, but their live performances are better. Su controls a crowd better than anyone. I recommend the song Road of Resistance live from Japan from 2015. Seeing a 17 year old in a tutu calling for a wall of death from the crowd is not something you get to see everyday. Okay, but now you also need to react to Rage Against the Machine. Such an important band.

Subbed! Really no wrong way to go about it, just that for the most part the live performances are better.

PLEASE react to the video titled "BABYMETAL - Road of Resistance - Live in Japan (OFFICIAL)" which is on the BABYMETAL KZfaq channel!!! 🤘🦊🤘

If you are going to proceed backwards from RATATATA to Doki Doki Morning, in order to follow the timeline somewhat, don't skip: 2024 - "Leave it all behind" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdiUlpCCu5y0Zqc.html 2023 - "Kingslayer" (the song itself it's older but they didn't sing it together on stage until 2023) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNGJhsJ1sqnZqKs.html Yeah, the link it's Omajination's version, I hate the camera effects and instagramey cuts of the official video, also, Omajination's has more and better takes of Babymetal, AND the post-song scenes, which are precious. I still believe it's better to go from young to mature Babymetal, because that allows to insert "The unhelpful guide to Babymetal" at the end of 2017. and Sakura Gakuin scenes to see where they come from, and because I enjoy watching girls cry 😂when lovely Angel of Dance Yui has to leave the group. In any case, glad to have you join The One. Welcome to the Foxhole! 😄 P.D. Jakemueller and Grington's suggestions / lore are always good and accurate.

I can't say 100% but I remember reading that YT scans edges of videos, and I've been noticing the videos that don't seem to have problems have some sort of frame on the edge, some of them have a moving aspect to them. That might be worth looking into.

Yay you're back! Generally with Babymetal "live is always better". With their music videos they often lay the album audio over the video because I think that counts for album/streaming play counts for the music charts. If you want to get a full blast of Su's vocal talents, check out the video from The First Take they did of their song Monochrome. It's a stripped down piano and vocal version and the conceit of the channel is that it's all done in one take, live: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npOYg6qDuNDLnac.html And if you want to get fancy you could also do the live concert version of the song, like this version from their 2023 PIA Arena show: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqeKmKWeldWbeqM.html

Thanks again from Japan 有難う 💛。The title is a synthesized word from two words : "Metal" and "Matsuri (= festival)" → Metali. If you want to know the deep meaning and analysis of the lyrics please check Professor Hartley's channel (Andrew Hartley). And whenever you have an option (MV or live video), I strongly recommend you to pick up live one. The repetitive わっしょい "Wasshoi" is a call or yell used in Japanese festival to stoke people's exhilaration and especially to encourage the power of guys who are carrying a heavy Mikoshi (神輿) on their shoulders that is a kind of a float in Western style festivals. Momometal's extravagant elocution and moves in Kabuki style gives an amazing accent in the exciting repetitiveness.

REACTION BABY METAL ROAD OF RESISTANCE LIVE AT PIA ARENA

Live BxMxC is really impressive.

Damn..Su never lip syncs

Go for the live cos they sounds/looks as good as in videos but do it all live. You see it all true talent plus hard work, not some smart montage and postprocessing. And do not be afraid to look for early stuff to understand where they come from and how they evolved (In my opinion that you should start). Plus seeing two 15`s led by 17 totally own crowd of 22k people is priceless (as seen in early Road of Ressistance live). You might try Megitsune video (one of earliest) to see part of their "mythology". kinda story of them becoming "kitsune" (if you are into Japan coulture you know whaty it is).

The 2023 world tour drew 270,000 people for 97 shows in 25 countries. On every stage, SU-METAL sings everything live. If you pause on the video, rewind and play it back a little. Please respect the song/lyrics and don't watch it if you treat it as a chore.

Dont be confused about the lineup. I will give you a short recap in 4 eras on the lineup: 2010 Sumetal MoaMetal, YuiMetal, Original Trio. 2018 Yui leaves for health reasons. Su and Moa continues alone 2019 The Avengers, a group of 3 unnamed backups rotate in Yui'a place (avegers have been identified as: Kano, Riho, and Momoko) 2023 MomoMetal, one of the avengers, steps in permanantly in Yui's place, and is now a part of the Main Trio

Please do live next time. They are always better live.
