In that case, I love the lyrics! What a great message

"What's a genre?"

ALL THE GENRE'S

Salad of genre, XD

Producer:what genre would u like it to be? Sumetal:yes

Blondie tried a bit of rap for their song Rapture and pulled it off so well done Babymetal! I think it definitely works in your song too!

I'm glad you noticed that Rick 😁 I really think the rap is the best part of this whole song. It saddens me that they removed it for future performances. It may be cheesy but its also innocent because of how young they were

They playing it back in 2017?? I had no idea, it must have been so fun to see. I'm definitely searching it to watch later

Saddle. Its a hidden gem at this point I guess and going forward

@Detrucci Here below is a link to the next best thing: a live concert version of them singing ‘Iine’ , for your entertainment 👍 Edit: hope you like lasers 🤣 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gpZ9oLSQ0JjMqGw.html

@@The_Great_Darino What I love is the crowd go f*cking nuts, and the girls seem to have so much fun. I would love to see a 2020/21 revival of this songs* :) It is songs, plural not singular lol!

Zenithtb would be nice, if nothing else, for nostalgic purposes. But alas, I think this is a song they have put to bed. Along with all the Black Babymetal songs, Death, Doki, Uki, IDZ (unless they did it recently and I missed it) and a few others.

@@The_Great_Darino No. Expanded: The fans that have been with them love the Originals. As do I, though I cannot claim to have been there at the beginning. Are their later songs 'better'? Probably. Better production. Better vocals. Complexity. But their earlier songs were more fun. And BABYMETAL needs to remain fun. It's their signature.

Thank you Andre, I appreciate that :)

These songtitles are getting me excited! Think I shall continue my Babymetal journey with Detrucci as it makes it even more fun when you and the reactioner are hearing the song for the first time! I love how bands from Japan always go for it but also retain the respect and warmth that their culture is renowned for! ❤

@@traceyb9443 High five to that, we in this together :D

Yeah they should bring it out along with the outfits

@@Detrucci There's a version of this with them doing a commentary track, if you're interested?

Are you thinking of Tokyo Dome Red Night? (September 19th, 2016) After that, they also performed this song several times when they toured with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in April 2017. Tokyo Dome would have been the last proshot or headliner with this song though.

@@rickwagner- The Dome was what I was think of, yes.

🍅💔

I was expecting to see it back at their 10 year celebration shows.

You and me both

Nice call back to the 80's!

@@tonygriffin_ Thanks Anthony! I still go back to the video for No Limit! TUNE! Detrucci will have to react to that one at some point (realise he probably has a list as long as his arm to get through so whenever you have a spare minute for that one Detrucci, unless it's one you are already familiar with of course! 😁)

@@tonygriffin_ Yeah... When I was young...

@@traceyb9443 Man I used to love 2 Unlimited, it was actually the first band I feel in love with on my uncle's CD when I was 5 years old. Tribal Dance is my favourite, no limit and let the beat control your body are the other ones i like :) I would love to try and revisit them sometime though. That could be fun.

@@Detrucci That would be awesome! It was the song that helped me see outside the box with regards to music and why I started discovering electronica in my later years probably! Love my rock music but always good to listen to different stuff too and I also love classical music too! 😁

That would be wonderful 😁

I figured it out by the end though atleast :)

@@Detrucci yep! You were a lot faster than Wiki!

Anyone with courage to push their boundaries is a yes in my book

I cant help but feel a little sad at the change to the rap part 😕

Thank you Darrell 😊

Those are the best kind of likes!

Rap part is bae

I swear I said it correct in the middle of the reaction after i heard them sing lol

Slice of life assassins

Did you watch the video?

"Don't think. Feel." This was what the lead singer said when they were first finding out about metal and trying to work out where they fitted and what it was all about. This was how she worked out what metal was about and how it should be performed and experienced after seeing Metallica for the first time. Obviously the contrast between the vocals and aesthetics and the metal instrumentals is a part of what makes them what they are, but look beyond the cuteness and listen to how well crafted every song is (some were years in the making), watch the effort they put into every performance of every song at every show - there is a lot of heart and real talent in everything they do, they are not just cute girls prancing about with distorted guitars backing them. Find some of the songs that really show off the lead singer's vocal talents (the whole thing was formed around her) or performances that display their stage craft and how they get the whole audience (not just the first 10 rows, just about every person in venues of any size from 150 to 55,000 capacity) fully involved and hanging on and reacting to every word, every dance move, every motion of a hand or every look or smile they give. There is a very deliberate policy in everything they have ever done about it not being sexy - they were children when they started, they have always been age appropriate and modest in the way they dress so no skin on display, no dubious or provocative dance moves, no crotch grabbing etc etc whatsoever, no questionable subject matter in the songs. That sort of thing can be left to the acts and performers who need to do it to sell their records, BABYMETAL is not one of those acts. Don't worry about the lyrics (although some songs are very profound and have a very positive message, check Du-metal's blog site for the best translations together with cultural and explanatory notes if you care to look into them - others are just fun). Listen to what they are doing - there is no other band in the world who blend so many different styles and genres with the metal instrumentation (and that is of the highest quality played by the Kami Band, some of the very best session musicians Japan has to offer) and they make it work. They never get boring playing the same sort of song in the same style or stick to the one genre the way most bands do. Their live performances are not just concerts, they put on a show and a performance every time they go on stage - and they do it with a smile and do all they can to make it the best experience for everybody who has come to see them. They didn't win so many international awards for things like best live act because they were cute. They have decided metal doesn't have to be angry or bitter, it can be joyful and entertaining and it doesn't have to follow the same old format that every other band uses. Every song is different, they play virtually every metal genre and mix in countless other musical styles and genres with the metal. They are doing something new and unique and for a lot of us who had quite frankly got bored with what was on offer, with there being no originality, nothing being done that we hadn't seen thousands of times before, they have rekindled our interest in music and got us rediscovering and listening to our old favourites, they even got us looking for and finding other bands we may have never found ... and a lot of them are great so we are grateful for having us do that too, but still none of them can do what BABYMETAL do. I hope that helps explain a bit at least.

Grington300 300 wow...that took time and thought, so thank you! You obviously love and respect them, and you also obviously love good music. You speak of becoming bored with what was out there, and I was wondering if you’ve delved into symphonic metal? Nightwish? I discovered the genre only last year and truly respect the genre and specificity that band. I also discovered Aurora .....with her crystal pure voice and emotive style and great songwriting. Don’t know your age, but if you are younger, you might find inspiration and diversity by delving back into the classic period....sixties and seventies....huge diversity of genres...huge talents across the board. Thank you again for your time...,I do appreciate your sharing your knowledge of the band....I’ll give them another look. Take care.....

@@helenespaulding9372 Thanks for your reply too. Sadly I remember living through the sixties and seventies, but you're right and a lot of the music and talent was great back then and I saw some of the great bands live as well. I can certainly appreciate symphonic metal, but it isn't my personal favourite thing (even though I was well into prog rock - among other things - when I was a lot younger and there are definitely some similarities with some of what I used to listen to). I've only heard a bit of Aurora and I was going to listen to more as what I heard so far was good - and interesting. If you are willing to give Babymetal another look allow me to suggest a couple of songs that may suit your tastes more than some other songs you may have heard. This is 'Shine' and is my own favourite track from the latest album vimeo.com/404036777 An earlier song (they were playing it before the first album in 2014 but Su wasn't satisfied she was doing the song justice emotionally - it was included on the second album in 2016) is pretty much an 80s power ballad called 'No Rain, No Rainbow' and it is an homage to 'Endless Rain' by X Japan. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqqXpNJny8nQmY0.html This was at the concerts celebrating her 20th birthday in December 2017. Finally, don't watch this if you don't have 20 minutes, but this is actually 2 songs that share themes. vk.com/video408956197_456239019 The first is 'Tales of the Destinies' and is full on prog metal (think Dream Theater - it is another homage), it then runs into 'The One' which is an extended version of another ballad - in English and their thank you to the fans they had seen while touring who had clearly been learning Japanese to sing along with them ... the sing along bit probably drags on a bit just for a casual listener, but it was the finale of the first night at their biggest shows to date at Tokyo Dome where they sold out two nights running, 55,000 people each night, so for the occasion I think it was excusable.

Grington300 300 you and I might be similar in age....I’m 73 and was in college in the late sixties, so that was the soundtrack of my youth. If you dig prog, you would probably like Marillion? If not familiar, try Sugar Mice in the Rain. I also have grown to highly respect Tool and Puscifer...I’ve also been inspired by Robert Plants work.....especially his last two albums....love the melding of western and North African rhythms and scales. For Aurora...try Soul of a Child...live...

@@helenespaulding9372 You have a few years on me (61), but one of my brothers is the same age as you - he was into Buddy Holly and Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs was (maybe still is) his favourite thing. Marillion were inspired by one of my old favourites Genesis (before Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett left). I saw them many times, I also saw Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin at Knebworth in 1979, that was good. I will have a look at that Aurora track, thanks. I forgot to say, if you still don't get Babymetal that is fine too - we all know they are not for everybody, but please do try to look beyond the 'cute', there is a lot more to them than that and they have been a breath of fresh air for me and many others. It is also nice to see girls who have achieved so much but remain the sweet and humble girls they were right from the start.

*Su graduated in 2013 I totally second that comment ! Sakura Gakuin is a crazy ride itself, from 2010 to 2020 !

Yep, I loved it

Because then I can watch the live version afterwards 😉 sometimes its nice to see the music video

For me, it's "Gimi Choko"...

@@steffenjachnow8176 Probably because it has been done to death by reactors, usually their first (and sometimes last) exposure to the band.

@@Tyranastrasza Nope. I don't really liked it from the beginning.

@@steffenjachnow8176 Now I am intrigued :)

@@Detrucci You already did a reaction video five months ago...

Ich bin ein Metal Fan. Dieses Lied ist der schwerste Metal, der jemals geschrieben wurde. Weißt du was es schwer macht? Der Hass und die Tränen von Trve Metal Fans.

> "Diese Musik ist doch eine beleidigung für jeden Metal Fan" Das Glaube ich nicht, Tim... (um mal ein berühmtes TV-Zitat zu bringen). Ich finde es eher beleidigend, das Du alle Metal Fans (inklusive mir) für ein solch humorloses Pack hältst. Das zeugt zumindest von einem doch sehr beschränkten Horizont...

iine! ist sicherlich nicht Babymetals "metalligster" Song (aber einer ihrer spaßigsten :-). Einfach mal "Babymetal Death" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLiTbMeTzM-mgH0.html oder "Sis. Anger" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJ-ceaSWl8mznY0.html anhören, dann hat sich dieser ausgelutschte Vorwurf "das ist doch kein Metal" auch erledigt... ;-)

I think you're not a "Metal Fan" yourself. Metal is not for close-minded people like you.
