Da Da Dance is a one of their few hit or miss songs. Really depends on the mood. Sometimes I'll skip it. Other times I'm jamming. One of the best things about babymetal is that they incorporate so many different styles and genres. If you're looking for more of their heavy stuff, I would start with songs like "Rondo of Nightmare" (live version of course lol.) I forget exactly which one has the long intro, but that's a good one to show off the band itself. It's also one of their earlier songs. "Monochrome" has become one of my favorites. It's one of their newer songs. "PAPAYA ft F Hero" is a great genre mixing song that also leans heavy with the metal. Since you liked "Headbanger", make sure you check out the live versions. There's also a Moa version and a Momo version of headbanger. I recommend watching a regular version then watch the Moa and Momo versions.

The best thing about Babymetal is that they dont really have a sound. They use Su's powerful voice, Moa and Momo great dancing, and a killer rotating cast of back up musicians to come together to make something wonderful everytime

All hail the fox god

Great reaction. This video is a mixture of footage from their concerts at the Forum in LA in October 2019 (octagonal stage) and Osaka Jo Hall in Japan in November 2019 (big triangular stage) and, as you thought, it had the studio audio dubbed on top of the live footage. The rap (Madonna Vogue?) part was Moametal. Guest feature on this track was, as you know, Tak Matsumoto. He is the founder and guitarist with Japan's biggest ever (by a very long way apparently) selling band B'z and getting him to collaborate was a really big deal for them - of course he provided the guitar solo.🎸 As you are finding, each song is different to the last ... I'm not a fan of dance music like this by any stretch of the imagination (it was impossible to avoid when I was in my late teens, much as I tried) but somehow they make it so much better and, while it will never be my favourite BABYMETAL song, I can enjoy it (and my younger self wouldn't have thought that could ever happen).

The whole concept of Babymetal is mixing metal with Japanese pop and Idol Culture. Hence all the cutsy cloathes and dancing. It will come in different degrees in every song but most of the time there will be electronics in there.

This video used footage from two shows; I was at the show at the LA Forum which was one of the two shows. This was the first song of the set, and with the big screen behind them, lights, sound, their stage moves; it was sensory overload and it was partway through the song before my brain could catch up. Fantastic show. Try Akatsuki, Rondo of Nightmare, or Headbanger. I too prefer the heavier stuff but I think they're breaking me over time

From Dusk till Dawn is an amazing song. Su’s range is incredible.

Great reaction, thanks! This official video has the studio version over the live visuals. As a general rule for the videos on their channel only the videos with the word "live" in the tittle are actual live performances (for the audio and the visuals). "Da da dance" is definitely not among my top favorites but I got it live in concert earlier this year and it was pleasantly surprising. I enjoyed it a lot. 🤘🦊

Great reaction! I think "Da Da Dance" was by design meant to be danced along by the audience, just like you did 😆 That was fun to watch! I´m a bit out of the "common opinion" about this, I believe... I absolutely LOVE "Da Da Dance"! 🤣 So freaking energetic, very poppy, but heavy at the same time, and the "Wooh!!!" including the choreo is just great! I would love to watch this live myself 😄

One of the great things about Babymetal is that they continuously leave you going "Not what I expected, but I like it!", no matter how much of their stuff you listen to.

Tak Matsumoto is "best known as the guitarist and main composer of the rock duo B'z, the best-selling music act in their native Japan " since 1988 they've been in the charts. If you remember acts like: 2 Unlimited who make electronic Eurobeat music in the 90s or something, at the time this music also came to Japan and some groups in Japan tried to make similar music and Tak Matsumoto was the one who made guitar music for such groups in Japan.

Welcome back to the Foxhole. First of all, happy birthday MoaMetal, our angel of love.🥳🎉🎂🐨 You can see BM tried to make a disco metal (?) song even years before RATATATA, although this one didn't hit so much among fans. At least they still show they weren't here doing the same thing and always bringing something different to enjoy. There's a short song intro which is played prior to this song usually at live concerts and is also part of the Light Side of the Metal Galaxy album called "Future Metal". This song marks the route of the entire 3rd BabyMetal album, you can notice BabyMetal grew up a lot. Tak Matsumoto (B'z guitarist and founder) is the special guest guitar on the album version, he's doing the short guitar solo section. Song is inspired in Juliana's Tokyo 90's movement and sound, more like a mix of Hi-NRG, eurobeat and Jpop, rather than edm or rave, Tak Matsumoto was one of the first introducing guitar elements back then in these types of songs. Of course SuMetal and the girls aren't afraid to try something new and they did it like a boss, or more like a queen and princess. In this case you're watching an official live compilation, but no live sound (instead they're using the usual studio album sound) from two live shows in 2019, LA Forum and Metal Galaxy World Tour in Japan 2019, and one of the avenger is Riho Sayashi, she currently have her own solo career, the other one is Momoko Okazaki, now MomoMetal. Kami Band after 2019 are wearing masks, during the LA Forum it was Western Kami Band playing. Last time they played this song was at Legend MM MomoMetal's 21 Birthday in March. Thanks for sharing this, see you next time and as always put your kitsune up!🦊🤘🕺

⚡ 💕 / 💃 This is BABYMETAL's tribute to Japanese Dance music of the '90s. The "Whoa!" in the background is a famous sample used in many '90s dance hits. The guest guitarist on the studio version of this song is Tak Matsumoto. He's best known for the group B'z. They're the best selling artists ever in Japan, and one of the best selling worldwide. It was quite a score getting him for the 'Metal Galaxy' album, but as Su has mentioned in interviews, they were able to get all of their first choices as guest artists. Matsumoto was very influential in Japanese Dance music from the '90s, so I think he was a great choice for this track. Moa's lyrics in her rap section are direct references to dance songs of that era. She's literally listing song titles from that era. I was there for the world premiere of this song at the LA Forum on October 11th, 2019. About half the footage in this music video was from that show.

Love your reactions! Would love to see you listen to Babymetal - Tales of Destinies ^^

Sonisphere 2014, their first big performance outside of Asia, also known has the miracle of Sonisphere, they absolutely won the crowd over. Also Megitsune is quintessential BM and a lot heavier than Da da dance.

Babymetal is A thing! Try Babymatel - Road of resistant Live in japan And the next one will be... Babymetal - Rondo of nightmare (with Mischief's of God Intro)

This is one of my favorite songs from th METAL GALAXY album and it's really really good. If you wanted to know new metal bands, i have 1 suggestion in my mind. Please listen to CADAVER REVADAC by Unlucky Morpheus + sheet music. Your mind would be blown away with that song. Idk if you know how to read sheet music or not but please do it with the sheet music on.

First of all, welcome down the foxhole to the metal galaxy that is Babymetal. Second, you will need a separate Playlist for all of their songs lol.. You should be able to read through the comments for all of the most popular videos, which are pretty much live performances. I can add that Road of Resistance (live in japan official), Headbanger (Legend 1997), Babymetal Death (also from Legend 1997 tour) and Monochrome (PIA arena 2023), really were epic. *Also, the Monochrome (piano ver.) from The F1rst Take KZfaq channel, is a stripped-down masterpiece lol* To showcase the band, there are live performances titled Kami Band intros and Mischiefs of metal gods intros, that introduce certain songs. Catch Me if You Can, Yava, and Rondo of Nightmare are great videos for that. Have a fun time reading all of the comments on Babymetal, there is soooooo much to listen to from them, and information to learn from The One's here lol... What you will see, hear, and experience..."Only the Fox God Knows" Good luck

I love Da Da Dance so much, it's so underrated! Thank you for reacting to it, it's such a fun song! ❤❤

I like your attitude and your very observant comments. I particularly appreciated when you mentioned their commitment. When Babymetal go into a song they go all in and it's one of the things that makes them so beloved. The audience understands they're giving their all. Tak Matsumoto did the short but amazing guitar solo in the middle. He is a rock legend in Japan and has been rocking hard there for years and years. So it was both a coup and homage to get him on this song. Great job on this reaction.

You should react to “Headbangeeerrr!!!” but Momo-Metal live version! Also “METALI!” live version as well!

Megitsune is my favorite song from Baby Metal. I recommend the MV for this one. Just make sure to alter the video or whatever to avoid copyright. The corporate overlords are real jerks for Baby Metal Offical videos. Another band you may like is Bloodywood. They are an "Indian Folk Metal" band. They mix metal instruments with traditional Indian instruments. They do not seem to mind if you use videos from their KZfaq channel. My favorite MV from them is Dana Dan. Aaj is a great one too. Actually, I like all of their songs. lol

Like an express train coming towards you and hits you twice as hard but ends up with a smile on your face 😁 instead of bits of you all over the place 🤣 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOA ❤️ 🎂🍸🍔

In general, my favorite track is the last one I listened to. I love everything BABYMETAL ! everything? well, let's say everything except Da Da Dance and Meta Taro...after all, you need a little rain to enjoy the rainbow !🦊🤘

Nice reaction mate 🔥🤘🦊🤘🔥 It's OK to badly mimic their dances moves. 💥🎸🥁 🎸💥

Great song as all of them are. I suggest metalizm for something really different and really showcases the band as well. Babymetal always produces music like this, all are great leaving mainly personal taste as to which are the best. Another group to check out from japan for metal is Nemophila, insane metal especially the singer and they do a lot of covers usually western music, For hard rock the best Hard Rock band from japan and at the top with the best of the best in the world is Band Maid, those ladies are top musicians equal too neophila and lovebites for skills and even more for the fact they write everything do for the last 8 years and they also are a live performance band.

(1)「From Dusk till Dawn」(artistic masterpiece) (2)「From Dusk Till Dawn」(progressive metal ❣Like a Dream Theater！) You need to listen to this songs！🙏🦊🤘🔥🔥🔥

You should react to the band passcode. They are similar to babymetal but they have a member who does screams and they have a lot of electronic elements in their songs. I recommend taking you out or flavor of blue to start with. Not a lot of people react to them since they are a lot smaller but if you like babymetal you might like them.

A band you should check out is fearless vampire killers they are a uk band have two singers 🤟

you are right: Live video recording with sound on a backing track dubbed over. It's pretty easy to spot the videos who actually have live audio, since BM usually puts (LIVE) in the title when it's live 😄

I am old and I heard everything 1000x. I love the new fresh stuff BM is doing. For the Fox God.

I recommend it, Sis. Anger. Heavy blackened death metal song 💀🤘

Very cool!!! Babymetal is great!!! Every song is a surprise. You will see elements of rap, rock, reggae, pop, indian music and others, always bringing a fusion with elements from various metal trends. You might also like Nemophila, Lovebites, Unlucky Morpheus, Band-Maid, Gacharic Spin. Whenever you can, try to watch videos of live performances. The clips are great, but it's great to see them live. Enjoy Babymetal!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Been loving these reactions. I like Moa's crazy dance in this song. So fun! I would recommend Akatsuki (Red Night), or Rondo of Nightmare with Mischief of Metal Gods intro for something a little heavier. Note: Both of those performances are only Su and the Kami band.

Suggestion . Tales of desties :)

If you want smth heavier then listen to some of the Black Babymetal stuff. GJ, Onedari Daisakusen, Sis Anger or Song 4. The third one of these is heavy af

Man you need to react to the Momobanger version of Headbanger. The Moabanger version too but definitely Momobanger.

Check out *_Akatsuki_* Its absolutely face meltingly metal and heartbreakingly beautiful at the same time.

Megitsune live Next. The song that pulled me down the Foxhole But you aren't thinking about Dragonforce, are you? Their main themes on their songs is the gaming world.

🤘🦊🤘 BABYMETALとJudas PriestのRob Halfordが共演したことがあります。 ライブ動画です 下記のタイトルで… ↓↓↓ BABYMETAL & Rob Halford - Painkiller, Breaking The Law その時のインタビュー動画です。 下記のタイトルで… ↓↓↓ APMAs 2016 Interview: BABYMETAL | PRS Lounge

Wow didn’t expect you to like this one, but awesome! Lol. I suppose in some ways it’s slightly “electric callboy-y”, 😆. Tak Matsumoto = famous guitarist, as in all the solos in this song. Look forward to more Babymetal! 🤘🦊

👍👍Great performance and reaction. 🦊 🖖❤

It's cool, this song is their poppiest by a very wide margin and isn't high on my list of favourites either. To get a sense of how their early songs mixed heavy metal and jpop I'd recommend a double reaction to Doki Doki Morning official MV, followed by the live performance at PIA Arena in 2023 ❤🦊🤘

The instrumental video game music band... by any chance was that Powerglove? They did a lot of songs from games and cartoon themes (Simpsons, Flintstones, X-Men to name a few). If that's not them, oh well, but maybe check Powerglove out anyway!

🔥🦊🔥

BM is by far my favorite band, love getting to watch you react to them, this one doesn't come up often. up down left right BBAB is another that doesn't come up often, they never performed it live, definite video game feel to it though. Not suggesting it (I love their live performances too much) but if you want a really odd BM song check it out.

Yeah, stop looking for "a sound". Just enjoy.

Ok, looks like you are headed down the rabbit hole. Subscribing. My suggestion as you get sucked into the vortex of Japanese metal is to forget about genre--it's just not relevant, you are in another universe. Japanese metal is on an incredible roll, especially the women, who are kicking ass on an epic scale. Another great band you should check out, is Bridear. Founded in 2011, they were in the second wave of all-female heavy-metal bands. They have the classic twin-lead attack and technical rhythm section. They have gone through some changes but have always kept their hard, heavy, technical sound. Their tiny bassist even does death growls! They just released their new album on June 28 (Japan time), and it’s a banger. BURRN is calling it a masterpiece. The Metal Hammer review compares them to Lovebites (an apex band which you are going to get to soon, I guarantee you!) They have posted two video singles from the album: “Still Burning” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ2FgrdzptqumGQ.html and “Cult” kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc52mZSh3N3TqmQ.html

esta canción es energía pura! imposible escucharla sin moverte... está entre mis 10 favoritas de babymetal...

Mate you have to do Rondo of Nightmare 2014 Budokan live if you love great guitar work the intro by the Kami band will blow your mind 🦊

Would love to see you check out Babymetal’s “Akatsuki” live at budokan in 2021. There’s a great video of it on the “For the Fox God” KZfaq channel. One of the most powerful live performances I’ve ever seen

next rondo of nightmare with kami band intro

🤘🦊🤘🇲🇹

They experiment quite a bit, so not every fan will like every song. If you want total stylistic whiplash, do "Iine". I recommend the "LIVE LEGEND 1997" version, but the MV is also great, and I believe there is a newer version with english subs on YT as well.

Well you should go by albums and then you'd understand the evolution of Babymetal.

This song is enjoyed more when you know BABYMETAL completely, it is understandable that you find it different, that is why people do not usually recommend this song too much to those who are embarking on the journey of getting to know the band's music. Although that doesn't mean it's a bad song, quite the opposite. :)

🦊🦊🦊❤🤘

i think you gonna love Doki Doki Morning and Iine (iine) MV or Live

A fun song, babymetal world tour 2019/2020, this song is played more often, the first song of the show🤘🕺

Not a fan of this one tbh (although it seems fine as a song and has a few little moments that are great)- alongside the English version of Elevator Girl (and maybe English ver. of "The One" 😳) - but the VAST majority of their stuff is amazing - I guess they're ok to take a shot at everything- in some cases maybe only once though imo............ Do continue with them - they've done their pop/disco thing a few times now and I don't think it'll be back around for a while - and they are an amazing group.

Bro, try some Maximum the Hormone next. They just released a new song.

I think you should still go back to the beginning. Just sayin'. Keep rockin’ BABYMETAL!!! KITSUNE UP!!! 🤘🦊🤘

Happy Birthday Moa🎉🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Another band to add to your list must be Lovebites, particularly if you enjoy the classic British metal sounds. My first introduction was a track Shadow Maker and then Rising both via their music video recording. Could give a feel before you dive into their live stuff which is just perfect.

So, while everyone else sends you further down the Foxhole, with fantastic reason, I'll recommend my favourite Japanese band, Dir En Grey. They've been around with the same members since '97, and all of them bar one were in ANOTHER band back to about '95? They're another band who are impossible to nail down to a single genre. Prog Rock/Metal is probably closest but also utterly incorrect. They are performers as much as BABYMETAL. Though, it might be more accurate to say the lead singer, Kyo is. I think the only best choice to start with to give an idea is Vinushka. The top results for the song on KZfaq are live. Watch those because Kyo's vocals are.. fucking insane. His range is ABSURD.

I'm smart enough not to say I don't like this song in a forum occupied by my fellow Babymetal fans so instead I will say I like it just as much as Iine! but less than all their other songs. I don't even love ALL Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and AC/DC songs, so there is that. 😂

Eurobeat could often be found in most of the Japanese racing anime as back ground music. Babymetal integrated heavy metal into it. So, shell we call this a Racing Metal?😂😂😂

This isnt the sound of Babymetal lol it is but it isnt. If that makes sense. The guitar riffs in this song are dope tho.

Its hilarious you believe you are an Old Metalhead.

Unless an official video has Live in the title, it is always studio. Live is definitely worth checking out as live is always heavier, and just better overall. The only live version on YT currently are a couple compilations, and there is a new live version of this song on the upcoming Legend MM concerts which release on Blu-ray next week.

Not gonna lie this is the one Babymetal song I just really don’t like at all. I have been a fan since 2016, seen them multiple times live, have watched the whole pro shot archive at r/Babymetal multiple times and just don’t like it. And that is fine. I wonder where his idea of watching old songs and progressing forward went. An$ why pick this song of all the banger songs out there?

Hmmm you skipped all of the great BABYMETAL recommendations and went with Da Da Dance?

Babymetal is really overrated There good but the worst of japan in my opinions Try some : Passcode-taking you out Unlucky Morpheus- Unending Sorceress Jiluka- Venom Nocturnal bloodlust- Cremation Broken by the Scream-sayonara birthday Deviloof- GouZinZanGoku Maze- idol riot Dexcore- saviour Believe me .. japan is hiding so many good banda 🇯🇵🔥
